1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: We had such high hopes for them, and they just

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: there's always a couple teams every year that you can

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: really attribute a lot of their struggles to injuries.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday people, Hey Trevor, welcome back to Trevor May.

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: How you doing, man, I'm good. How are you guys doing?

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 4: We're good.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 5: Are you enjoying the baseball season?

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: You're like a full fledged media member now, AJ's a

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: grizzled bat.

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 5: How many years have you been mediaing, Aj?

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 4: Well, I started meeting in like two thousand and six.

12
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 4: Got so I was a media I was a media player.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 4: I was a player media whatever it is like if

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 4: it's player coach. I was player media. And then I

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 4: started full time after I retired. So since twenty seventeen,

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 4: I've been doing it.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 5: And Trevor, this is the first full year, right, last

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 5: year was the first four year.

19
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I guess before. Yeah, so this is my

20
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: second full year. Yes, things have ramped up for sure

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: here in your two Yeah. Yeah, that's definitely definitely happening.

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: Any advice for current players who are looking to get

23
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: into media once they retire. I always have advice for

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,839
Speaker 2: players from the media side, for the guys that don't

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: really talk that much or say that much and then

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: pop up everywhere.

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 5: That wasn't you two. You guys obviously were very vocal

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 5: when you played.

29
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: But sometimes I talk to a guy and I'm like, hey,

30
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: it'd be cool if you made yourself a little bit available.

31
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: That would certainly help, even just to get some friends

32
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: on the other side. But any other advice, Trevor.

33
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: That's a big one, he asked, Start while you're playing

34
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: that that find find ways to like practice if you

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: find out if you enjoy it. It's a different type

36
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: of difficult. It can be exhausting in different ways than

37
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: you're used to. We all think physical. Mentally exhausting is

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: a different thing. So get some practice. And I would say,

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: there's a period of time we're saying yes as your friend,

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: so say yes to everything. But when the time comes

41
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: to where you can't say yes to everything, try to

42
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: make that decision quickly because if you say yes to

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: you everything for too long, it can get overwhelming quickly.

44
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: So but yeah, just say ask to the work and

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: get the practice in and don't worry about it. Just

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: do you, like, just be yourself and see where you

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: kind of land. I think at anything to add.

48
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: No B be there for the media when they talk

49
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: to you, when they want to talk after games. The

50
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 4: biggest thing, and listen. The one thing I'll tell people

51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 4: is you either like doing this or you don't. And

52
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: if you like it, then, like Trevor said, practice it

53
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 4: and get opportunities to do things. And I think you

54
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: see people doing that more and more because what I

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: find funny is a lot of guys I played with

56
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 4: and I don't know about you, Trevor, guys that were

57
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: like I hate the media now are in media and

58
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, wait a second. You hated the media when

59
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: you played, You were like anti media, and now you

60
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 4: like it. And I always try to tell guys the

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 4: media has a job to do. Give them some answer,

62
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: even if it's BS. Just give them something so at

63
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: least they can don't have to make up the story

64
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: they're writing, because if they come to you and you're

65
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: not available, then guess what, they can say whatever they

66
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 4: want because you're not there to answer the questions. So

67
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 4: just answer the questions. It takes two minutes out of

68
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 4: your life and move on, even if it's BS. Look

69
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: at Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter said a lot of words

70
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: that didn't say a whole lot. But people are like, oh,

71
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 4: he's the greatest because he sat there and answered the questions.

72
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: That's be available, be available, be candid. They're starving for

73
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: authenticity and people being candid, you don't have to say, oh,

74
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm mad at this guy, or I'm mad at this

75
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: thing or this person messed up or whatever I want

76
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: to talk about. Like when things go poorly, say wow,

77
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: that sucked and I hate it and I'm actually really

78
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: not happy right now. People are great, we aren't either.

79
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: You're all on the same page. It's a human thing.

80
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: But like you said, especially in certain markets, if you

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: don't give them anything, they're just gonna say whatever, and

82
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: that that passes in certain places, So just know that's

83
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: what happens. And also I will say one one big

84
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: realization I had since joining the media. I used to

85
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: always be like, oh, what like that sound? By what

86
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,839
Speaker 1: what are you even talking about? You to play a blah,

87
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: And then I'm realizing that, like, especially in studio TV

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: or during a game, you only have so much time

89
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: to make your point and that's really hard to do quickly.

90
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: It's very hard to do.

91
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: So sometimes you say something you want to go more

92
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: in depth on it, and you can't. And now I

93
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: know that there's a lot of people out here that

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: would like to say more on something and clarify what

95
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: they're saying.

96
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: They just don't have time, So kind them a little

97
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: bit of slack. You know. I can honestly say that

98
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: I was.

99
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: I was in the wrong of a lot of those

100
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: situations when I was a player, And it's not for you,

101
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: it's for the fans. People are talking to fans, not

102
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: to players.

103
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: And it's good to have fan interest.

104
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: If no one's talking about your sport, your sport's not

105
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: going to do well long term where it's going to

106
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: go in the wrong direction.

107
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: So obviously, as part of the mission statement.

108
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 4: Here, here's something I would always tell the guys I

109
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: played with. Listen, win things are going good, give credit

110
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 4: to everybody else, and when things go bad, blame yourself.

111
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: Because I always thought, listen, if I could take a

112
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 4: little bit of pressure off of one of my teammates,

113
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: then it was good for the rest of the team

114
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 4: because I could handle it. Now, if you can't handle that,

115
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: I get it. But when you have a great game

116
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 4: and you go, you know, four for four. Trevor is

117
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: a pitcher. You go out and throw a six out

118
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 4: save or whatever it is, and you say, oh, man,

119
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 4: the catcher was great, or man, the other guy's got

120
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 4: on base for me, and you know, I watched their pats.

121
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: It led to maa pats. Like then it makes the

122
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 4: other people on your team feel really good about themselves.

123
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 4: And then when things go wrong and you lose, blame

124
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 4: yourself if you can handle now, if you can handle that, obviously,

125
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: And I do not agree with fighting fights in the

126
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: newspaper or on media, Like fight your fights behind closed

127
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 4: doors and say good things in the media, but listen

128
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: when things go wrong, say hell, man, I screwed up.

129
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 4: I screwed up. It's my fault. It's my fault. And

130
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: that also helps your teammates because there's some people out

131
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: there that can't handle the pressure of knowing that they

132
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 4: screwed up. And you're like, oh, it's my fault, it's

133
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 4: my fault. And if you can handle that, it's a

134
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: good thing.

135
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: And here's my quick two cents, and then we'll cover

136
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: the news. Make sure that you love it. I'm piling

137
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: onto what they're saying, but make sure you love exactly

138
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: what you're doing. Like in the media role that you're in,

139
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: there are other media roles, there are other places to

140
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: work for their other ways get your point across. So

141
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: whether it's a player or an aspiring broadcaster, journalist, whatever,

142
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: make sure that you're doing what you love because you're

143
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: doing it so much. You're doing it every day, especially

144
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: in baseball where you're covering the sport all the time,

145
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: and when we're always texting. I mean we have chap

146
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: ECC of course, as everyone knows, we have regular text

147
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: We're always talking about what's going on in the games

148
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: that night because we genuinely, genuinely have fun with it.

149
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 5: So you need that ftfan.

150
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: Did you know that Hue has sold over five hundred

151
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: million meals around the world and now it is your

152
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: turn to try it? Well, right, I drink it, Thrime.

153
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 4: Scott, so I can discuss hele on how I love it.

154
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: I had some for breakfast this morning. I like to

155
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: drink it post workout because of the protein included in it.

156
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 4: It always tastes delicious, whether it's strawberry, banana, chocolate, vanilla,

157
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: whatever the flavor is, it tastes like a dessert. Honestly,

158
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 4: it should not taste as good as it does.

159
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:52,320

00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: Let's talk about what we were texting about last night.

171
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: Let's start with the Braves and the Mets charge them out,

172
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: all right, So the uh charge the amount is powered

173
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: by MLB nine innings twenty five. More on that coming

174
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: up in a moment. The Mets are kind of like

175
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: a fun gimmick video game. For the past year and

176
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: a half, they play ball and they make it fun.

177
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: So they have a new sign. Laugh, Amelia, you get

178
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: a nice look at that. In the dugout.

179
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 5: They did lose, though now they are owned four against

180
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 5: the Braves. This season.

181
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: The Braves record against the Mets since twenty two twenty two.

182
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: Do either of you want to take a guess out

183
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: of thirty seven games, how many games have the Braves

184
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: won against the Mets since twenty twenty two?

185
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 5: Give me a record? AJ first than Trevor.

186
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: Twenty five and twelve.

187
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm cheating, But twenty seven and ten.

188
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: Nahn you cheating.

189
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't even I couldn't even like do say it

190
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: first and then say I cheated later.

191
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: I had to say it before.

192
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said it because AJ didn't know the answer,

193
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: and AJ did well. There wid you say twenty five

194
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: and twelve.

195
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: Very good. No, that's definitely a conseruation. It's actually worse

196
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: than that.

197
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 4: Which is I thought I went pretty heavy. I was

198
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 4: going to go lower. I was going to say like

199
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: twenty three and fourteen, But the way you brought it up, Scott,

200
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, this is pretty heavy. Twenty seven

201
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 4: and ten. And I watched this game last night. I'm

202
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: not even in the country and I watched this game

203
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: last night. It was it was fun. And by the way,

204
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 4: let's let's talk about this. Brian Snicker knows this is

205
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 4: an important series. He brought rass Siliglaciers in in the

206
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 4: eighth to face the middle of the lineup, and then

207
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: he brought Dylan Lee in in the eighth. They punch

208
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: out punch Freckin' won Sodo's ticket right, and then he

209
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: let him close out the night. Brian Snicker knows this

210
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 4: is an important four game series for the Braves, so

211
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 4: they got Strider going tonight. Schwellenbach dominates way. Spencer Schwellenbach,

212
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: you own the Mets, by the way, He's never gone

213
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 4: less than seven innings against the Mets.

214
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: He's good man, he is, He's up.

215
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: He's a top ten guy for me. Also, every time

216
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: I hear him talk about pitching, he just blows me away.

217
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: I think that you should be really excited Brace fans

218
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: that not only have you had a young guy who's

219
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: who's putting up numbers at the beginning of his career,

220
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: but like the things he's his understanding of the game

221
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: is going to produce long term value, Like he's just

222
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: going to be health permitting, he's going to be making

223
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: adjustments quickly. I hear things like Paul Skeens is that

224
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: same stuff. It's just mind boggling how much they know

225
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: about the game. And then they got Spencer Strider over

226
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: there too is the same way, So like it's a

227
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: good time to be a brace fan. They all they've

228
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: started slow, like five straight years, they end up there

229
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: right there at the end of the year. Why would

230
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: this year be any different. I still have PTSD from

231
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: watching them win seventy five one hundred games and catch

232
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: us even though we were twenty games over five hundred

233
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: in the same same amount of time. So I mean,

234
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: don't put it past them. They got young guys, and

235
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: that kid he is man. I mean, throst Cheese throws

236
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: every pitch there is. I don't know what else to

237
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't know what else he can do.

238
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: This his rinse of pref for the next ten years,

239
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: I guess.

240
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: And they were in some trouble late aj with Iglesias

241
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: giving up the back to back singles. Then it's first

242
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: and third Soto Dylan Lee versus Soda who had homeward earlier.

243
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 5: In the game. Eighth pitch of the at bat gets.

244
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: Him on a slider, and that was really the key

245
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: moment there. Late, I mean, pay big, you pay so

246
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: to the big bucks, and you didn't come through there.

247
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but no one comes through every time. Let's let's

248
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: not say, oh man, he didn't get a hit. I

249
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: mean the big moment. Nobody comes through every time. I mean,

250
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 4: that was a tough at bat, by the way, from

251
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 4: Dylan leed to once, so he just he kept throwing

252
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: him slider, slider, got to three two, he ran a

253
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: couple fastballs up and then shoot through the slider punched

254
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: him out. You could see the disappointment on Soto's face.

255
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: So let's not get on him about that whole. I mean, listen,

256
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: bad at bats, having bad things happen, and it's just

257
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: one of those things. But I want to go back

258
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: to Schwellenbach for a second. By the way, my buddy

259
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: Darren Erstad was the coach at Nebraska when he was

260
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: playing at Nebraska. He was there shortstop. So I've text

261
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: Ersta many times at ersty, you didn't have this dude pitching,

262
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: no wonder, you're not the coach at Nebraska anymore, Like

263
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 4: what were you thinking? And of course he says, well,

264
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: you had a bad arm, so which he did. He

265
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: already had the Tommy John surgery. So but yeah, I

266
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 4: mean the fact that this guy wasn't pitching until he

267
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 4: got really into the Braves organization. It's pretty incredible.

268
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, it's good for mileage purposes, a little less

269
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: mileage on the arm. By the way, Spencer Schwellenbachi scheduled

270
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: to join us on Fridays. FT and Ronald Acunya Junior

271
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: is raking so twenty eight games now since he returned

272
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: from a second ACL tear four oh eight, five thirteen.

273
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 5: On base seven thirty five slug.

274
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: He's got nine homers and sixteen RBIs in one hundred

275
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: and nineteen plate appearances. And I mean he's doing all

276
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: kinds of dances on the bass passage.

277
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: He loves rolling the Mets. It's good. I mean, he's

278
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: got it down. He definitely practiced.

279
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 4: I mean, how many do you remember? All those skits

280
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 4: around first when you hit it, you gotta look and

281
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: you gotta do this, You round first, around third, halfway

282
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: to third, and then you get in the dugout. He

283
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: does they floppy with his hands. I don't know, man,

284
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, let the kids play. I get as

285
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 4: long as no one gets mad. Who cares what they do.

286
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: But it's fun to watch if you're a fan. And yes,

287
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 4: you're right, he loves hitting homers against some Mets. But

288
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 4: I just want to know, Trevor, how the heck do

289
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 4: you remember all those skits you gotta do?

290
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: You gotta commit, dude, he commits to the bit. They

291
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 3: got it.

292
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: Maybe they got to just be like, it's got to

293
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: be like a challenger. They're betting him you can't come

294
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: up with more stuff. It's so funny now to the

295
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: point where now when we see guys just kind of

296
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: run around the bases, it's not going to be because they're

297
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: being humble. They're just like, nah, dude, I'm just lazy.

298
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember all that. There's too much to remember.

299
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm going the other way because just because I I

300
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: don't want to have to remember this many things.

301
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 3: Baseball is hard enough.

302
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: But you know, if you if you can nail it

303
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: and you got the choreography down, I mean, go for

304
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: it at this point, just just go for it. If

305
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: you're not like pointing at me and yelling at me

306
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: as you're doing everything, then it is you know, it

307
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: is what it is. I give it's still a homer

308
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know what I mean.

309
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 4: By the way, I'm gonna say this about the Braves though,

310
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 4: they need the bottom of the order to do something.

311
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but I mean Eli White, Nick Allen, Michael Harris,

312
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 4: Holy crap, what the heck happened to Michael Harris? Even

313
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 4: you know what you throw all be's in there too.

314
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 4: I mean, Akunya and the rest of these guys can't

315
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 4: do everything. But man, I mean there's there's some bad numbers.

316
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 4: If you look at the Braves lineup, they're lucky to

317
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: even be alive right now. Their pitching has been pretty good.

318
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 4: Strider going tonight, But man, the bottom of the order

319
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 4: is gonna have to do something for the Braves or

320
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: Alex and Thop is gonna have to make some moves,

321
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: make some some some trades to get some people in there,

322
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: which he's been known to do before.

323
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do we got on those two? I mean.

324
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: All these and and Michael Harris. I mean we're now,

325
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: you know, getting close to what the halfway point in

326
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 2: the season.

327
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 5: What are you gonna do? Option? Michael Harris?

328
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 4: Then they signed up to a huge deal.

329
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can still option guys. I don't

330
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know where the delineation is. I'm

331
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: guessing all these would be a problem if you try

332
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: and option him at this point.

333
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 4: You got six years. Six years.

334
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Harris isn't no, but.

335
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 4: Wow, I mean wow, if you haven't seen look at

336
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: his number. Look at those two guys numbers. It's not

337
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 4: good knock. I mean, I think I think Michael Harris

338
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: has like a five hundred ops or something, and all

339
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 4: these is in the low sixes. I believe. I'm not

340
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: exactly sure, but I'm pretty close because again, I was

341
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 4: watching this game last night, going dang, what the heck

342
00:14:58,360 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 4: happened to the Braves guys?

343
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, watching Harris is weird too. His his like hands

344
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: look weird to me. With his swing, like how he's

345
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: moving his hands, they're like farther off from his body.

346
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: His bats like straight up and down more than I've

347
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: ever seen. He's looking like a little bit like old school.

348
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: Olsen.

349
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: Olsen now puts his hands behind his body a little more,

350
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: but he used to be straight up and down. So

351
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: I just watched him like that looks different, and I

352
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: wonder if there's something there. Obviously I wasn't hitter, but

353
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: he does look different. He looked different immediately the other Yeah,

354
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: last night I was watching his AB's that doesn't look

355
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: as comfortable, like he's searching for something, and as you

356
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: very well know, Aj, it's searching in a game like that,

357
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: like trying to search in real time in the big

358
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: leagues usually doesn't work.

359
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: So too Yeah.

360
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: By the way, here's their ops albs six twenty six,

361
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: Michael Harris five seventy eight, Eli White six sixty one,

362
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 4: Nick Allen five point fifty six. That's four of their

363
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 4: five bottom hitters after you get I mean, Akunya is

364
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 4: twelve hundred, which isn't going to sustain Olsen eight thirty six,

365
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: a Zuna seven ninety one, Austin Riley seven sixty four,

366
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: Sean Murphy's doing good sevn fifty one, But the other

367
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: four just that's not good. I don't know how you

368
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: sustain that your pitching has to be too good, especially

369
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: in a tough NLS.

370
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I can make it sound worse. For Harris,

371
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously still a great defender, but ops plus

372
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: one hundred league average is that fifty nine? And if

373
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: you look at a stat cast page peripherals trying to

374
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: see he is there, you know, is there something good

375
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: that you can point to? Is there some battered ball,

376
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: luck issues. Everything is blue. Besides bat speed. Everything is blue.

377
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: You know the expected numbers, the exit v low barrel,

378
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: hard hit, squared up. Chase percentage is second percent tile

379
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: in baseball. Same with walk percentage not walking. I mean,

380
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: there is not much to point to, Trevor, and obviously

381
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: things can just suddenly click.

382
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you know how this.

383
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 2: Sport works for a pitcher or a hitter. But we're

384
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: getting pretty deep into the season. And the other factor

385
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: here is that the Braves need a lot to go

386
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: their way. I mean, that's part of why they're treating

387
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: some of these games like high stakes. In the middle

388
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: of June, there's six games back of a wildcard. Forget

389
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: the division, they're almost double digit games back in the division.

390
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: There's six games back of a wildcard. And even to

391
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: just get to one of those wildcard spots, you have

392
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 2: to leave one, two, three, three teams or four teams.

393
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: So they've got a lot of work to do. It's

394
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: not impossible they can make a nice run, right, it's

395
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: not ten games back, but they have a lot of

396
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 2: work to do, and you just need a lot of

397
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: things to go right on a nightly basis, because they're

398
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: not the only team that's going to get hot, if

399
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: they even do get hot.

400
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: I still just think that it comes down to ceiling,

401
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: like talent ceiling for me, and they're stars when they

402
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: are out there being stars, just they rattle off truly

403
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: impressive runs. And those same guys are still there, And

404
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: especially with Striders now seeming to hit his stride from

405
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: Tommy John hey uh he he is looking way better.

406
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: I believe Sale didn't Sale just go down though with

407
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: a So they're gonna be but the timing couldn't be

408
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: better for Strider to come into his own with that happening.

409
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: But if they have all three of them, you know,

410
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: like that's like they can go series without giving up

411
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: a run, and if they give up no runs, they

412
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: win those games probably, So I still think that they're

413
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: still scary in that way, especially with the Albi's and

414
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Michael Harris kind of just being non factors with their bats.

415
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: One of them becomes a factor again and we're having

416
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: another conversation. And again, once again, I have the personal

417
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: experience of just looking in the rearview mirror non stop

418
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,199
Speaker 1: for four months and watching the object closer and closer

419
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: to me. So take that into with a grain of

420
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: salt exactly.

421
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: Hey, this charge the mound segment is powered by MLB

422
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: nine innings twenty five a baseball game in the palm

423
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: of your hands. It's free to get your hands on

424

427
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,359

428
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: your pup. But what you can do to understand what

429
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: they love, which is spotan Tango kibble, is to see

430
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: how they react when you put the unkibble in the bowl.

431
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: And my pup, penal Lope loves it.

432
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 5: So does Bella.

433
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 4: Well, Bella speaks Spanish, so she says, moybien, I love

434
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 4: this stuff.

435
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 2: She says, Wow, Dad, thanks for creating a custom plan

436
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: based on my age, weight, breed an activity level.

437
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 5: You nailed it.

438
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: And also it's made with one hundred percent whole fresh

439
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 2: ingredients like real USDA meats, fruits and veggies. But it's

440
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 2: forty percent less expensive than frozen food. So upgrade your

Speaker 5: Pretty cool and also aj shows you.

00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 4: Paul Malter, ex teammate of mine, damn pleaseak one for

466
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 4: one off him. Gary Sheffield come into the poker tournament

467
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 4: this weekend. So I mean, that's a good list right there.

468
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 4: Robin YAO, good guy.

469
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: Yep, that's what I got. Yep, go up, Go go

470
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 3: to the Angels, go to the Big Leagus, enjoy, enjoy

471
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: the Big Leagues.

472
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 4: By the way, did you see the play where would

473
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 4: you see the Alex car play with Christian Moore? Where?

474
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know the rule, but I thought,

475
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 4: if you put your knee in front of the base,

476
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 4: Oxcorer got ejected. But if you put a terrible bass running,

477
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 4: But that's a whole different story. Put the he put

478
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 4: the guy ring gifover and hefo put his knee in

479
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 4: his foot right in front of second base. That's supposed

480
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 4: to be not allowed, but it was allowed.

481
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, hey.

482
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 2: And speaking of Jackson Holliday, Ken, let us right into

483
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: this one. AJ had a four RBI night and what

484
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: do you know, let the kid play every day. Let's

485
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: also not act like that was Brandon Hyde's decision to

486
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: be platooning the kid who they want to be a

487
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: superstar and play every day, and all of a sudden

488
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: he's blossoming with more playing time.

489
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, imagine that. It's weird. I just don't understand these

490
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 4: kids face lefties in the minor leagues. I face lefties

491
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 4: in the minor les get to the big leagues, and

492
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 4: people say, oh, you can't hit lefties. Well no, I

493
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: did find against lefties. But when you face him once

494
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: a month or once a week, or you face a

495
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: tough lefty coming out of the bullpen and you haven't

496
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: done it, it doesn't work. And I just never understood this,

497
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: Like why we are just automatically pitchinghole guys to oh,

498
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: he's left handed, he can't hit lefties. They don't do

499
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 4: that with right hes very often. I don't know. I think,

500
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 4: just let them play, let him figure it out. And

501
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 4: the biggest thing is to me is you never know

502
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: if a guy can hit lefties. You're listen, your numbers

503
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 4: left on left are never going to be as good

504
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: as right on right because you just don't see him

505
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: as much right or as a left handed hitter against

506
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 4: right handed pitching, because you just don't see him enough.

507
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 4: So I don't understand it. Let him play. Let him

508
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,479
Speaker 4: figure it out, especially on a team like the Orioles

509
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 4: that needs help offensively, Let Jackson Alliday play. You showed

510
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 4: it last night but double four through on Homer, let

511
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: him play man.

512
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a chance to make the All Star

513
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: Game two. He is certainly in the running. And we

514
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: just got the latest All Star Game update Judge and

515
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 2: Otani of course leading Javey Baias past Trout and Kwan

516
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: in the second ballot updates, So it looks like BIA

517
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: is probably gonna start in the outfield. The Foul Territory

518
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:24,719
Speaker 2: Network just want to give it a plug to all

519
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: the awesome shows, which includes Trevor's May Day Show, also

520
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: Snake's Territory and Fire Territory. Very close two one thousand subscribers,

521
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: So if you want to give them a little bit

522
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 2: of love, that would be awesome. Even if you hate

523
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: those teams, just to support what they're doing there would

524
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: be very cool.

525
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 5: Thank you very much.

526
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: And in the next break, I did find all those

527
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 2: valuation numbers I was talking about Trevors, so I'll look

528
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: for those all right. Two potential injuries to hit here

529
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: he will cover in the next couple minutes for us

530
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: Kenlee Jansen threw four pitches in yesterday's game before he

531
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: left with the head athletic trainer. His vilo is down

532
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: three miles per hour from his season average. I mean, Trevor,

533
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 2: that's an auto take them out of the game.

534
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: No, yeah, yeah, that's that's a big red flag. Uh,

535
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: the velo changing, especially for a guy of his age

536
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: and how long he's been pitching, Like, it's just you don't.

537
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: You don't take chances of that stuff. And I think

538
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: he knows his body pretty well. He probably had something

539
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: to do with being like, yeah, let's not let's not

540
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: push this. So not what you like to see, definitely yeah.

541
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: And then the next one here Walker Buehler, who was

542
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: one of the big offseason signings for a Red Sox

543
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 2: team that decided to trade away their best bat and

544
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: have rookie Roman Anthony hitting third. Anyway, interesting contrast in

545
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: the Red Sox clubhouse. Are you sure Bueller is healthy?

546
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 2: This coming from Sean McAdam, course at one hundred percent.

547
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 2: But then when Bueller was asked if he was currently

548
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: pitching through anything, he said, I don't want to talk

549
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: about that.

550
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 5: So that's not good.

551
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: He's been bad he's not bad like his last five

552
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 4: stars or something.

553
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 5: It's six on the year.

554
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: But yeahs, yeah, every sin's getting tossed. Things have not

555
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: gone well and they need starting pitching bad. Yeah, he

556
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: must be feeling something weird or whatever. But for for

557
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: a manager who say one certainty, they're not certain about anything.

558
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 3: So yeah, you thought that.

559
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: We thought the Devers thing was the was the big

560
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: clubhouse thing, but I guess there's there's other things happening.

561
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 5: In the weeds.

562
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: Something that we pointed out on foul Territory Twitter from

563
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: the Yankees lost to the Reds Anthony Volpi sitting the

564
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: day before. Now, the day before that he had a

565
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: successful game, including a home run after snapping a long

566
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: hitless streak.

567
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 5: So he lost his bat twice tonight.

568
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: On Swings and Missus whatever pines Pine tar stat Brian

569
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: Hooke jokes about. But the question here is about rest

570
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 2: and whether it has to do with a projection model

571
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: saying how you're going to play in that game, or

572
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 2: a load management issue.

573
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 5: Either way.

574
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: Aj, I know we're getting very very in the weeds

575
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: and specific here, but we're a show that's on every day,

576
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: and I think it does bring up a larger point

577
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: when Volpi is struggling really on the year, defensively even,

578
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: and he's been okay on offense, but was just.

579
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 5: Breaking the slump. Do you think he wanted to sit

580
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 5: on Sunday.

581
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 3: After all of that.

582
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 4: I just don't know how it works. I've had managers

583
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: come to me and say, hey, we need you. You're

584
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: gonna give you this day off, and you have a

585
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 4: good game and you go in the office after the

586
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 4: game and say listen, man, I'm gonna play tomorrow, And

587
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: a lot of times the managers will listen to you.

588
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 4: And as far as load management goes, Anthony Volpey's twenty

589
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: three years old. How old is volpe twenty three, twenty

590
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: four ish?

591
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 5: Does he really find that?

592
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

593
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 4: That do we really need? You? Really need? Yeah? Do

594
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 4: we really need load management on a twenty four year

595
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 4: old guy? I know they're going through right now, but

596
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 4: if he gets three hits, he's feeling it running back

597
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 4: out there. I don't know. Maybe they didn't want to

598
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: mess up the schedule, maybe they didn't want to mess

599
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 4: up his routine. I don't know. But if I get

600
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 4: three hits, I'm fighting to stay in there and listen

601
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: to air Boon made his decision. But I don't know, man,

602
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 4: I just I just I remember one game I played

603
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 4: in New York. This is kind of off topic. I

604
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 4: hit two home runs in the game Yankee Stadium, and

605
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 4: I didn't play the next day. And I remember Paul

606
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 4: O'Neil on the air, goes, dude, hit two home runs yesterday.

607
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 3: He ain't playing.

608
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 4: What's going on? But it had It had nothing to

609
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 4: do with it. I had to do with the way

610
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 4: the schedule lined up and it was scheduled. Yeah. I

611
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 4: went in there and said, ouzie, and want to play,

612
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 4: but he said, no, you play the day game the

613
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: next day instead of that. You know. It was so

614
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: there's weird things that can happen. I get it, but yeah,

615
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 4: you want to play the next day? You feel good?

616
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 2: Quick sat Trevor to get your thoughts. So, seventy eight

617
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: games this year for the Yanks, this is seventy seven

618
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 2: played for Volpi. So his first game, SAT, I'm just like, now,

619
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 2: of all the times, couldn't we have pushed that back?

620
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: It is interesting because he's I think the three man two,

621
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: the three positions out in the field that usually don't

622
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 1: get a lot of time time offer center field, shortstop,

623
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: and first base, like those guys try to play every

624
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: single day and they're kind of the.

625
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 3: Offensive center of the offense.

626
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: Usually, And so planning like building the things in especially

627
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: if it's like analytically based, seems silly, especially with the

628
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: guy that young. But I do agree with AJ, like

629
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:11,479
Speaker 1: most of the time you can go be like come on, man,

630
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'll let me play.

631
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 3: Let's let's go. I really want to play. Then you're

632
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 3: gonna You're gonna play.

633
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: But if they can't see another opportunity to get to

634
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: that rest, then they will make that case to you.

635
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: And if they make a good case, which just sounds

636
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: like Ozzie made a good case to you, like hey,

637
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: this is actually the thinking about it.

638
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes sense, like that this is good long term,

639
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: let's do it.

640
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: I just I think there are points in time maybe

641
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: where it gets reported, and there are sometimes like according

642
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: to our numbers, this is when guys get tired. Like

643
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: that's not I think a good way to act on

644
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: or really make concrete decisions on. You gonna be really

645
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: really flexible in that way. But then when it comes

646
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: down to it, if you plead your case and they

647
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,239
Speaker 1: still want you to take the day off, then you're

648
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: probably gonna just take the day off. But for a

649
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: for a guy like that, who they're expecting a lot

650
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: from him, they need him to get going a little bit,

651
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: seeing a little sign of life and then seeing them

652
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: take a break, it's probably not easy to swallow for

653
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: Yankees fans, and I get back.

654
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yankees fans, Obviously we're freaking out about it. They're

655
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: not loving the season that hope he has, and so

656
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 2: the timing of it is just strange chape. You're checking

Speaker 4: the Indian inspired chicken paired with turmeric rice. That sounds awesome.

664
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 4: Everything about this is delicious. Fresh comes in a little bag,

665
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 4: and I like to cook, so I like to chop

666
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,640

667
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 4: mix it up. It makes me feel like I'm doing

668

00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: The White Sox signed No Cinderguard to a minor league

681
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: deals at the Complex in Arizona.

682
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 5: Might as well give it a shot.

683
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: No, guys, if you want to play, you get a

684
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 3: job by all means. You know, go for it, guys.

685
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: The guys in the gym, I know that he's always

686
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: staying in shape, so that's not going to be an

687
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: issue for Noah. It'll just see what he's got in

688
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: the arm, you know, with the with that law Tommy

689
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: John Rey had, he really didn't bounce back at all.

690
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: So maybe he went maybe went to one of these

691
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, uh training academies or something. Bounce some stuff,

692
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: got a little bit of umph back and the White

693
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: Sox trying to capitalize on that. I would that would

694
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: not spriat me one bit. Guys of guys an athlete.

695
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 4: Why not? It doesn't hurt you, doesn't hurt you. If

696
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 4: you're the White Sox, you give him a chance to

697
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 4: pitch in the minor leagues. And the only question I

698
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 4: have is Jared Reinsdorf has a very particular hair policy.

699
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 4: So well, if he has long hair, will you have

700
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 4: to cut it?

701
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 5: Ooh TVD. I hope he makes it so we can

702
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 5: find out.

703
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 4: Hey, Joe Creedy and I cut our hair once. I'm

704
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 4: just saying my hair wasn't near as long as cindergarten.

705
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 2: We'll be all over that story. How old do you

706
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: think he is? We got like twenty seconds so that

707
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 2: we're back. Give me a check, Give me a guess.

708
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 3: Thirty three, thirty four.

709
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 5: He's thirty two, but.

710
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 2: Turning thirty three next month. So aj wins price is right. Hey,

711
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 2: it's a bad one. Corbyn Carrol is placed on the

712
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: il with a fractured left wrist. His manager, Tory Levello said,

713
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 2: I have not seen anything like this. Usually you have

714
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: a bad week or a bad month, or two guys

715
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: in a thirty day period of time that will go down.

716
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 2: But it's just been one after another. It's frustrating. I

717
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: feel for the players. I feel for this team. It

718
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: sounded like it was a weird one where X rays

719
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: were originally negative, but they did get the confirmation you

720
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,959
Speaker 2: know from the weekend series against Toronto when he got

721
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: hit by a pitch that he goes down. So I

722
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: don't know what the timetable is yet, AJ, but it's

723
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: not going to be right away here and it's a

724
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: team that definitely needs to have some things go their way.

725
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: Justin Martinez done for the year, Corbyn, Burn's done for

726
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 2: the year. They've lost puck in their bullpen for a

727
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: long period of time.

728
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 5: What is going on?

729
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 4: Just one of those years? By the way, did you

730
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 4: see Suarez got smoked last night? And that was another

731
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: one in the hand where he oh, that was a

732
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 4: bad one. And then and then Naylor was shaking his hand.

733
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 4: At time, I thought he might have broke his handmaid

734
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 4: or but I guess it ended up being his shoulder

735
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: that was sore. My thing is I've done with Corbyn,

736
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 4: Carrol has done before I'd call it a chip fracture whatever.

737
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 4: I got hit in the exact same spot right here

738
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 4: in my wrist, and it didn't break this bone. It

739
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 4: actually this bone knocked into the other bone and chipped

740
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: a piece off, and they were like, you're done for

741
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: the year. I came back in two weeks and played

742
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: it hurt like hell, but I was able to do it.

743
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: So I don't know the severity of it. But man,

744
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 4: it's like the Diamondbacks can't get right right now, as

745
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 4: Tory Hunter used to say, Man I can't get right well,

746
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,239
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks they can't get right.

747
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 3: Man.

748
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: It's so we we we such high hopes for them,

749
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: and they just there's always a couple teams every year

750
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: that you can really attribute a lot of their struggles

751
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: to injuries, right Like, they just get decimated to where

752
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: you can't expect them to get to the level that

753
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: you thought they would be too, simply because the guys

754
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: that you thought were gonna be on the team aren't

755
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: on the team.

756
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: And that's what's happening over there. Losing Corbin Burns was

757
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: a huge blow.

758
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: Now the Corbyns they're just they need they need more

759
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Corbins to win lots of games and without any Corbins. Uh,

760
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: it's not going to be not going to be the

761
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: the season that they want.

762
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, true, both Corbyn's down right now. It's crazy, Trevor.

763
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: I thought this was going to be one of the

764
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 2: best teams in baseball this year. They've got an electric

765
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 2: The bullpen was a problem pretty early on, although they've

766
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: lost some guys, but even still, that's something you can

767
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: patch up at the All Star break or at the

768
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: trade deadline. I should say rotation looked pretty good. I mean,

769
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 2: I don't think many people had Zach Gallon leading the

770
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: league in what walks and earned runs something like that.

771
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: He's been really solid and consistent for a long period

772
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 2: of time now. So it's just been one thing after

773
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: another for the Diamondbacks. Very unpredictable if you told me

774
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 2: everything that was going on with this team. Yet, also,

775
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 2: they're still in a wildcard picture, and they're not a

776
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: team that likes to give up quickly. It's just when

777
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: this stuff starts to pile up, it's hard to see

778
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 2: them as a World Series winning team. Let's slap and

779
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: let's talk about this John Smoltz comment from Fox on Saturday,

780
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 2: and then we put it out there. John Friend of

781
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: the show ripped into catchers and how they're taught nowadays

782
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 2: to emphasize pitch framing in a way that sacrifices their

783
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 2: ability block. He said, there's no way the probability of

784
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 2: success is going to go up that way. JJ Cooper,

785
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: also our buddy, who comes from the Baseball America World, said, factually,

786
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 2: blocking has not gotten worse. The number of wild pitches

787
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: and pass balls keeps going down. We have a picture,

788
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: we have a catcher catcher. First, aj your thoughts on this.

789
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 4: I used to be on this side of the fence,

790
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 4: and now after seeing it and my son is a

791
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 4: catcher and watching and learning more and talking to guys

792
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 4: that are actually teaching this, I understand it more now.

793
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 4: Do I think it helps in the lower levels of

794
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 4: high school and college and even maybe the lower levels

795
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 4: of the minor leagues because pitchers don't throw it in

796
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: the area at the major league level, though, they should

797
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 4: be able to throw it in a certain area, and

798
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 4: therefore you should be able to be ready for it.

799
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 4: And on one knee, you're actually already down in a

800
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 4: blocking position, and all you kind of have to do

801
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: is drop your glove from you start down, you bring

802
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 4: it up, and then you just put it back down.

803
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 4: You're already in that position and you should already genuinely

804
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 4: be in the area. Also, this it improves the throwing

805
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 4: of a lot of catchers because they're already lined up

806
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 4: to go to second base and they already have a

807
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 4: certainty down, so they're straight instead of kind of getting swingy.

808
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 4: So I used to be on one side of the fence,

809
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 4: and I get it, and I have people talk to

810
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 4: me all the time about it. As a younger person,

811
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 4: I don't know that I would recommend this, but once

812
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 4: you get to the major leagues and pitchers allegedly can

813
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: throw it in a certain area, it should help you.

814
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: I agree one hundred percent. I think that I always

815
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: defer to the people teaching it first. But I love

816
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: what you said about getting in blocking position, because most

817
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: of the time smothering the ball like you're already, you're

818
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: already halfway there.

819
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 3: So it's actually easier as long as it's front of you.

820
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 3: Moving side to side.

821
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: I understand that moving to the side where the knees down,

822
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: or if you swipe it a ball and you kind

823
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: of miss it. This happened I think it was with

824
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: Francisco Alvarez happened with and this was where the comment

825
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: from small skitt I was watching as well and was

826
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,799
Speaker 1: listening to it as well, and it just looks bad.

827
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: It's an optically not doesn't look very good, but that

828
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: is as far. It's pretty as as far as it goes,

829
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: in my opinion. One thing that's interesting to me and

830
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: that I kind of want to look into is if

831
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 1: if there's been any meaningful difference in like Catcher's knee

832
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: injuries since this has become popular, or even like Catcher's

833
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: offense in general, just because you're saving your legs a

834
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, remember the knee savers they had

835
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,720
Speaker 1: when in like the nineties two thousands to keep catchers

836
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: from being so crunched into their knees constantly. Being in

837
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: the normal squad does that. If you're in that way

838
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 1: all the time, you get more fatigue. So there's I

839
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: don't know if there is benefit there, but it wouldn't

840
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: surprise me if there is a little bit too.

841
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 3: So then it comes down to trade offs.

842
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: Are you trying to get better framing and fresher catchers,

843
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: then a pass ball here and then might be worth it.

844
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 2: And I can't ask Aj to comment on that part

845
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: because he's got superhuman stamina or endurance ability.

846
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 5: He never got hurt with anything.

847
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 2: The famous Martine Maldonado asking him how he stayed so healthy,

848
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 2: and he's like, genetics not true.

849
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: Go home and blame your parents, kids, or thank you

850
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 4: in certain cases.

851
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good debate anyway, Trevor, great to see you.

852
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: We've got a fellow pitcher with us tomorrow. Rush Stripling

853
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: making his FT hosting debut with Meryfield is going to

854
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 2: guest host on Thursday. I have a little fun with

855
