1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: For me. I grew up playing in the big media,

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: big big market with the Yankees and Mets, and I

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: embraced it. Anytime you played for a team that you

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: expected to win every day, I think that's the best

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: feeling as a player.

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: This is a little look at the Big League live

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: stream from a couple of days ago. The winner, Dylan

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: the chantas now you and him, I tied a j

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: one one.

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: He wishes he was as good as a poker players

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 3: because he didn't take me out.

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 4: I took him out. So I'm up.

13
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Actually I'm up on him.

14
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: That is that's an intimidating stand right there.

15
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm gonna give Dylan a little hint. If he

16
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 3: stands up, that means he's got good cards.

17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 5: He was standing up with six seven. I'm thinking his tail.

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 5: And the man is always standing up because I played

19
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 5: with him yesterday at his table, He's always standing up

20
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 5: because the chairs are like he sits down like this,

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: And the one dude was like, do I know that guy?

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 5: I was like, when he stands up, you're gonna know

23
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 5: him and do right next to him, goes. I wasn't

24
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 5: going to blow up a spot. That is Dylan Betansas.

25
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 5: He was the nastiest dude ever. I wish he ain't

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 5: never heard his shoulder.

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

28
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: That's what the guy said.

29
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

30
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 2: Well, Dylan's going to join us in about thirty seconds.

31
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: He's still ripping up the poker tables for the next

32
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: couple of days here in Vegas. But we'll get into

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: some baseball talk coming up. We're back with the great

Speaker 1: lot better as thom since I was able to take.

38
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: By the way, so when they gave you a gold

39
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: helmet for winning, they should have given you since you're

40
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: a picture, they should have given you the helmet that

41
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: key k Hernandez, where is the picture helmet? Yeah?

42
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Right, that that is. That is a sick helmet. I mean,

43
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: obviously k knows how to stand out, and that helmet

44
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: makes him Sandu.

45
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: Would you wear that?

46
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: No? We about safety to and I struck people up.

47
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I was gonna say, I'm looking

48
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: at all the strikeouts.

49
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, women distract you would it distract you to have

50
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: that thing on?

51
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 4: It has to be light.

52
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, if it's light, I guess, you know, but

53
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: it just doesn't look good.

54
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: Someone has to be the first. Yeah, he could have

55
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 4: been the first. I guess. He does pitches like every

56
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: fifth day.

57
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: So we have got rid of position players trying to pitch.

58
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Why it is entertain it's only it's only entertaining for

59
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the for the guy actually pitching for the player, and

60
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: and and but you're getting your ass kicked at that.

61
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: Point, comes in and closes when they're up, like.

62
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right, you're right. Yeah, but you don't

63
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: like that in the pen, like maybe mercy run rule

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: after seven ten runs. That eliminates some of the position

65
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: players pitching.

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: The problem is what if it's twelve to in the

67
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: second inning and you would wait until.

68
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: Yeah once once concession stand close.

69
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then here's the problem.

70
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: Then you lose chances of her records and games are different,

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: you know, come.

72
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Back at that at that point, if kick Aernandez is

73
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: coming in.

74
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 4: A homer is a homer, I don't count the same. Yes,

75
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 4: they do when you go to arbitration.

76
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: They don't when you're the table arbitration is and you

77
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 3: hit two homers off Hernandez, not Delan, but Tanzas.

78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: That guy don't know what.

79
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: That means an arbitration. They'll say whatever it takes, but true,

80
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: I would. I don't know.

81
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Kratz is offended because he's had success.

82
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: I thought I was helping pitch. I'm coming into like, Hey,

83
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 6: you don't got to throw it that you're down. Hater, Hater,

84
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 6: you're down, Corey Canabel, You're down. I'm coming in. I'm

85
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 6: gonna give you any I thought I was helping to you.

86
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 6: Now you just take something else went from me.

87
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: There's times of pitch when we were winning eleven one,

88
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: so you didn't want to was like, Dylan, you gotta

89
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: come in there today. You need some mark the loving.

90
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: One in the Hey, let's bring that other combo to

91
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: del Do you think that they should publicize managers and

92
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: certain front office members in terms of their contracts, just

93
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: like the players do, so that fans are aware of

94
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: how long a term is left for someone and even

95
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: how much they're making. Because we do it for players.

96
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: They were saying, it's not like a mandatory thing, and

97
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 2: it ends up just leaking.

98
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: Don't you feel it I mean, isn't it public knowledge,

99
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: like how much CA.

100
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: There's certain teams that will announce it part of their policy.

101
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: Most don't, and the numbers come out from the insiders

102
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: who get them from the agents or a team executive.

103
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen the contracts of public manance with players.

104
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. Here's the thing.

105
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: Teams don't want coaches sellers out there because they don't

106
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: want if your Yankee coach is making two hundred grand

107
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: and the White Sox coach is making one hundred grand

108
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: for the same position, and the guy in the White

109
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: Sox is I want the two hundred grand and the

110
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: Yankee guys. See, that's why they don't want the coaches

111
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: sellers out there.

112
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: You don't think guys are talking. They're not supposed to. Yeah,

113
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: but they are.

114
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 4: But still, but he puts it.

115
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: Puts more like if you have a really good pitching

116
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: coach in the White Sox, right, or hitting coach whatever

117
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: it is, their team's raking, and then the fans are like, well,

118
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: he only makes a hundred grand, but the Yankees guy

119
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: and they stink. Is all hypothetical obviously, Yeah, but he's

120
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: making five hundred thousand. Man we can get this guy

121
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: for a one hundred and fifty thousand, we need to

122
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: fire the five hundred thousand guys.

123
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's when, Yeah, Ethan gotta do their due

124
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: diligence and make sure he ASTs around and make make

125
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: the deal work for those guys.

126
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna take you through the latest card that I

127
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: pulled in my Arena club slab pack Aja, And here

128
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: it is. I pulled a Jared Jones card. So Jared

129
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 2: Jones is gonna be out for a minute, but I'm

130
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: gonna hold onto this one for the long term. He

131
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 2: was nasty in his rookie season, greed.

132
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: This is a great card to pull.

133
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: It's gonna go up in value once he comes back

134
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: because this guy dealt in his rookie season, gets punch outs,

135
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 3: he gives the innings.

136
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: Once he's backs good, You're in it for the long term.

00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: was speaking his mind, non filter claim right. So I

160
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: remember he always had his shoe game was unbelievable, Like

161
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: he had custom air Jordan's like all the time. And

162
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: his dream was, you know, become a Jordan client. And

163
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: I forget who it was at the time. I think

164
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: I said Guardy, you know, Guardi's big parents there and

165
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, always always get times to guardy. But I

166
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: think we made this letter from Jordans came from Jordan, right,

167
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: So put the letter in his in his locker. So

168
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: when he opens the letter, it says, you know, congratulations Faser,

169
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: you're part of a Jordan brand. So he he like

170
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: he lost it, like he bought it.

171
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: I think if that happened to me, his agent would

172
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: have already called him and said something or like they're

173
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: not just going to send you a letter.

174
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: They would have called you. I mean c phones were around.

175
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: This isn't like it was like in the eighteen hundreds.

176
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Well, I think I was part of the issue. You know,

177
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be, you know, a serious guy, nice guy,

178
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: which I consider myself that. But I let this story on.

179
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: So Clint Fraser comes to the training room and he's

180
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: obviously losing his mind. He this was his dream to

181
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: be with Jordan. Right. He goes, Dylan, man, I just

182
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: got this letter from Team Jordan, like like this is

183
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. I was like, you know what, clim when

184
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: I got put on, I got that same letter. So

185
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, this is real. It's coming from Dylan.

186
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: Dylan's not playing around. So he told me. I remember

187
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: he tell me, he told me, I don't think I

188
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: can play today. I'm gonna go to Aaron Boone and

189
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: tell him to take me out the line of myself.

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: It's just it'd be all right, like just like it's okay.

191
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 2: Like he was freaking out.

192
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was freaking out. Yeah, he was freaking out.

193
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: He was going to Aaron Bone to take himself out

194
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: them like, oh, we got a game to play, just play.

195
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: And we kept this story for about a day. I

196
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: think his agent he must have reached out to his agent,

197
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: and his agent probably made the call and you know,

198
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: obviously we had to tell him it was it was

199
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 1: not real. But he was losing his mind. I think

200
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: he was like he really was going to ask out.

201
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: He was telling guys like I told you guys, I

202
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: was going to get on this. I told you guys,

203
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: But he was.

204
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: Going to ask out, Like how did he end up playing?

205
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: Well?

206
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 2: Do you remember, I mean.

207
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: Clint Fraser at the time obviously at the time had

208
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's that speed was insane. Like at

209
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: that time, I don't think he was playing as good.

210
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: But then I remember, like a year later he was

211
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: fighting for a spot with Guardian spring training, and then

212
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: he had I don't know if it was during COVID,

213
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: he had a really good, really good run where they

214
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: were like, oh, man, like he got something here, like

215
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: because you know he was he did, he did he

216
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: That's why he were the mess. You remember how he

217
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: was always out.

218
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 4: You were, well, you were on the Mets.

219
00:09:58,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: But that was on the Mets.

220
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on the mess during COVID. People are like, wow,

221
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: he wore the mask outside unnecessary and then he's like, nah,

222
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: I was wearing a beard.

223
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: I can't always ask for I'm telling you this would.

224
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: But as a rookie, this kind of stuff happens.

225
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Guardy. My favorite Guardy thing.

226
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 5: We used to have a smoothie fridge, which me and

227
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: Guardy thought was the funniest thing ever that like rookies

228
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: would have their names on smoothies.

229
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: He's like, they should all be thrown away, Guardy.

230
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 5: They would put the strength coach would put the straw

231
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 5: in their smoothies, and it was like, you know, not

232
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 5: even just rookies, like dudes that were bigly camp that

233
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: weren't going to make the team. Guardy would go through

234
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 5: and he would take the mustard and he would squirt

235
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 5: mustard down in their smoothie so you could never see it.

236
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: And these these rookies would come in there, they smoothie.

237
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 4: Guardy was long gone.

238
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: Guardy was already gone. He was nobody was safe around

239
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: guard He probably one of the better, better team myself had.

240
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: But yes, big parents, for sure. Yeah.

241
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: My one other follow up to this is you got

242
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: a letter from a company that says, congrats you're a client.

243
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: I don't even know the terms.

244
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

245
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

246
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: We got even money. It could be like and we

247
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 2: own all the rights to your ni L forever. Like

248
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: there has to be further.

249
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: Didn't he get cut from Nike because he was making

250
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: fake shoes? Wasn't he a knife for well, they were

251
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: real shoes Nike. There was a thing where Nike guy

252
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: started doing this and Nike was cutting them because he

253
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: wasn't safe because they were putting their shoes on the

254
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: cleats on shoes that weren't meant to have cleats on,

255
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: and they were worried about someone hurting an ankle or

256
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: a leg.

257
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: And then they're like, he didn't he didn't care about

258
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: that as long as he looks like he wanted to look.

259
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: I think he was worried more about his apparel than

260
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: playing that time, and that probably got it. Yeah yeah,

261
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he looked good though his shoot

262
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: game was good. He has some nice custom pleats for sure.

263
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: He might make for a good broadcaster personality. We had

264
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: him on yours.

265
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: He's not filtered. He's non filtered. Cliff Rade will let you,

266
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: let you have that's what you want? Yeah, you want that?

267
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: What do you got for us on this season? What

268
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: stands out? Are you watching a lot of Yanks.

269
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 3: Or just let's just start it right now? What the

270
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: heck's roll of the Yankees and the Mets, both your teams.

271
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: I know that if we were just talking. I was

272
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: talking to Allie about that. She's a big mess fan

273
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: obviously from MGM. But both teams at the same time

274
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: are playing like they're you know, they started off really good.

275
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: Both teams were in first and then all of a sudden,

276
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: you know, for the match, the starting pitching hasn't been

277
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: as good as they wanted. They had big injuries with

278
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: Cannon and Senga, and the Yankees they just stop hitting

279
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. I remember covering the k C

280
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: game and they score. First couple of games they score

281
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: like ten runs, eight runs. Then after that, I kid

282
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: you now, like they went one run and then they

283
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: went to Boston and the Bats went complete silence. Bullpen's

284
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: been struggling last couple, like last couple of weeks. I

285
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: think both teams hit a rough patch. But you know

286
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: that's a long season. You play one hundred and sixty two.

287
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: Good thing that they started off so well that they

288
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: could kind of withstand some of this, but you know

289
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: it helps that the break is coming, and then you

290
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: have to trade deadline, so now you know it's like

291
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: you can't just stand pass. You got to make something happen,

292
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: whether it's getting a starting pitcher for the Yankees or

293
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: maybe adding some relief death in the bullpen for the Yankees,

294
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: starting for the Mets, And you know kind of figure

295
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: that part out.

296
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 5: Is there a time of the year, because you played

297
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 5: for both New York teams, is there a time.

298
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 4: Of year where you're like.

299
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 5: The New York media, the New York pressure gets to

300
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 5: you more because you see, because you said, you see

301
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 5: the All Star break coming. If either of these teams

302
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 5: are get you all start breaking they got a lot

303
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 5: of games to go to, you know, even fall more

304
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 5: if they're waiting for that.

305
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 4: But is there a time of year where you're.

306
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 5: Like, like this time of year in New York, it's

307
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: getting hot, the media starts really getting on.

308
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: You know, this bugs me a little bit more.

309
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, when when you're not playing as good, Uh,

310
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: you know that feeling in the clubhouse. Uh, at times

311
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: it's not as enjoyable, but but you know, it's what

312
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: is expected. Right for me, I grew up playing in

313
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a big media place, a big, big market with the

314
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Yankees and Mets, and I embraced it. Anytime you play

315
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: for a team that you expected to win every day,

316
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the best feeling as a player. I've

317
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: told people like, sometimes it sucks if you play for

318
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: a team that you know, you have no expectations, right, Like,

319
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to be in that clubhouse. I think

320
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: the Yankees, I mean, obviously they've been struggling, but they're

321
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: still in first place, and I think it makes for

322
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: good baseball when the division is kind of creeping up

323
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: on you. I think a lot of people, you know,

324
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: obviously not in New York, they want as much distance

325
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: as you want, but as a baseball fan, you you

326
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: want you want some of that. You want that closeness

327
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: going down.

328
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: I mean, as someone that grew up in the area,

329
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: you're you have friends and family that are probably Yankee

330
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 3: fans right there, they're panicking a little bit.

331
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because they had a big lead.

332
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 3: It's down to a game, game and a half over

333
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: the two teams. I mean, they're they've been basically caught.

334
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean, there's gotta be I know, you're like, oh,

335
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: it's great as a player the other but as a fan,

336
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: the fans and the Yankee Yankee fandom are like, oh.

337
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, second, Yankee fans are definitely you know, any any

338
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: loss for them is a big deal. So they're definitely panicking.

339
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, they want some moves. So but in a

340
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: long season, you go through these things, right. But obviously

341
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: as a fan, if you can have a big the

342
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: big of the lead, that's just more comfortable you feel.

343
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: But you know, it just shows you maybe you have

344
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: to make big move here to make sure that for

345
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: the Yankees they can get back to that that promised land,

346
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: which is the World Service.

347
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: All right, discussion we had yesterday and I will tell

348
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 5: you whose side anybody was on first half MVP, Aaron

349
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 5: Judge or cal Rally and then who wins the MVP

350
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: to finish the season.

351
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: So for me, obviously Homer, I I you know, Homer,

352
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: you didn't even say the end said. You know. For me,

353
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: I think what Kyle Rawley has done hasn't been done,

354
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: so that shows a lot. So if I was to

355
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: get a first half MVP, I'll probably give it a

356
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Raley. Obviously. For me, Aaron Judge, what he's doing,

357
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: he just gets better every year, so that in itself

358
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: is impressive. And obviously he's his average has dipped down,

359
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: but he was heading over before and he's still heading

360
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: three fifty right, Like what he's done every year has

361
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: been pretty impressive. But you know, we've seen Aaron Judge

362
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: forward with Aaron Judge. No, no, we've seen Aaron Judge

363
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: phenomenal season before and this year is even a step above.

364
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: But Kyle Raley, like thirty three home runs by by

365
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: not even to break yet, Like I mean, come on, man,

366
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,439
Speaker 1: like you know you got to give credit where it's due.

367
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Judge is my guy, and he's probably gonna

368
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: hear this and give me some slack, but you're not

369
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: just being honest, Like I think is a close. It's close,

370
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: but you know, if I was the vote, I'll probably

371
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: put before you get.

372
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: That's a good way to put it though, because we've

373
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: never seen this before as a historic cason, right, doesn't

374
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: that put things to take context for you? No catcher

375
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 2: has ever done this ever? So how much better? Like

376
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 2: what more do you want from the catcher?

377
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 4: Are you not entertained?

378
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: Right? That's that's that's exactly for me. Is a historic season, right,

379
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: Like we're kind of seeing what Kyle Raley's do is

380
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: what we've seen growing up, like the big like Mike

381
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: Piazza catch and you know, the Evon Rodriguez guy's showing

382
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: a lot of power, like we haven't seen that in

383
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: years past, like that, And I mean, you know, that's

384
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: why what he's doing right now, Like I think areon

385
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: judge the second half, he's gonna he's gonna hit a

386
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of home runs, so I think he'll put him behind.

387
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: But right now, I'll give it a car up.

388
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: By the way, I know you got to go to

389
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 3: get poker. Are you able to? Is the reason that

390
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: you haven't done your best at poker is because you're

391
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 3: sore from pitching at rick Wood. What was it a

392
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, and you had.

393
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 4: To throw it in and you can't get all the

394
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 4: way in there to get your chips out.

395
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, that that that was probably

396
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: one of the best experience I've had. I had three years,

397
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: three years without picking up a baseball. But my goal

398
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: was to face see why Chris Young, he's been talking

399
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: a lot of smack for the past year or two.

400
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: I said, look, if I get the chance to face

401
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: you in one of these uh East West Classic, I'm

402
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: striking you out. So I struck him out, so I

403
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: got you know that was on him? Yes, but my

404
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: should I kill you? Now? Every through every pitch I made,

405
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: my shoulder was killing me. Don't pick up a baseball

406
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: for three years and think it's gonna work. I'll tell

407
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: you why I was around the plate. Man. I probably

408
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: threw more strikes than you.

409
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 4: Can always you can always throw breaking ball for a strike.

410
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 4: The fastball was with some kind.

411
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Of got it okay. Sometimes you throw it up and

412
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: then you gotta get the hitters. How fast you I

413
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: probably no more than eighty five. They didn't have the radar.

414
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: Thank god, I would have been embarrassed. Maybe. I think

415
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: if I train, if I trained, I could throw over

416
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: ninety for sure. Like when I starpped playing, I was

417
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: ninety two. You know ninety three. That don't work no more.

418
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, unless you're spotting up. And

419
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't gregmatics out there. I was coming out well down.

420
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: Good to see you man, good luck, Thank you guys.

421
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: We got we gotta win one so we can, like

422
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: I think, bragging rights, right, we can't just keep coming here.

423
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean obviously dominated dominated entries. No, I mean we go.

424
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 5: You can have a trophy that we can show show

425
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 5: I think, so I need a bracelet.

426
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 4: Forget a trophy.

427
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: Ye, bracelet, give me a bracelet. Yeah that helmet, that

428
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: helmet was cool, but it didn't it didn't flit my head.

429
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 5: Make sure let me watch the show trophy online trophy.

430
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: I've won multiple first place on I need live baby.

431
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: You know what yesterday first place.

432
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 4: That's the way you get a trophy.

433
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: This is what's gonna take me over the edge. Because

434
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: yesterday there was a hand that I was playing, and

435
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 1: I knew at the time I shouldn't go, so hard

436
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: and I went super hard. It's like when you're you're

437
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: thinking and crashcos that I think we should throw fast

438
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, the curveball works here. And I

439
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: throw fast one I give up a home line and

440
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: I knew I should have not thrown that picture. And

441
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: that's what happened to me yesterday and lost. Well, good luck, dude,

442
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. I appreciate you, guys,
