Speaker 1: We're not going to spend all show on this, but
Speaker 1: I do like to point out debuts, good or bad.
Speaker 1: We did a rise yesterday that was one of them.
Speaker 1: We did schoogle as well. Casey My is not good.
Speaker 1: He did have an eleven day layoff. I know that's
Speaker 1: not an excuse, but Casey My is not good turned
Speaker 1: out to be the worst start of his career. And
Speaker 1: guess what, there are many more starts to go. Are
Speaker 1: you concerned about Casey miz after one single start with
Speaker 1: the San Diego Padres, I guess raise your hand, show
Speaker 1: of hands if you're concerned? Okay, good?
Speaker 2: What would be? Why would be concerned?
Speaker 1: Because some people freak out after one start. We did
Speaker 1: this with Freddy praulta yesterday too, where he made his
Speaker 1: debut and it didn't go well and then people are like,
Speaker 1: ah damage goods.
Speaker 3: Oh no, Casey My said, one bad start, new team,
Speaker 3: quick turnaround.
Speaker 4: One of the best.
Speaker 2: It'll be fine.
Speaker 4: If there's somebody that can help him. Ruby Diebolo is
Speaker 4: the guy.
Speaker 1: Also, it takes a minute to get you know, comfortable
Speaker 1: with your new club. Right yeah, I'm saying if you
Speaker 1: say Diebol is going to work with him? Oh, it
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be overnight.
Speaker 4: No. No, If it is, then you're cooked. Then I
Speaker 4: would say, Yes, he's going to be a terrible, terrible
Speaker 4: pick of him. He's like, what do you got for me?
Speaker 4: First start? What is it? No, Like, we're gonna watch
Speaker 4: we have ideas. It may work on in the bullpen,
Speaker 4: but we got you because of the picture that you are,
Speaker 4: not like some magic trick that we're going to pull.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, ditch these three pitches. Add these two pitches
Speaker 1: and we'll see it. Amar for your start. Go get him.
Speaker 4: It's harder and throw the ball harder.
Speaker 1: Throw harder. Yeah, do it like the Mason Miller guy
Speaker 1: does the guy who might close out of your games
Speaker 1: do his thing? Okay, question of the day, your buddy,
Speaker 1: Jesse Rodgers AJ threw this out there. This is an
Speaker 1: AJ special right now. The Wrigley Field ivy. He's a fan,
Speaker 1: he said. I'm sure I'm biased because I've lived here
Speaker 1: my whole life, but the ivy on the walls at
Speaker 1: Wrigglely is the single greatest quirk of any stadium anywhere.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear about some soccer stadium
Speaker 1: in Milan or somewhere that has some weird think don't care.
Speaker 3: Okay, well there's an IVY on the wall, a weird thing.
Speaker 3: So I mean I don't care either, Right, you know,
Speaker 3: like the quirk? Well he said, he just said, it's
Speaker 3: what do you say it's the best quirk?
Speaker 2: What do you say? It was the the best quirk.
Speaker 2: It's the greatest quirk.
Speaker 3: Stadium And I don't want to hear about some soccer
Speaker 3: stadium Milan or somewhere that has some weird thing. Don't
Speaker 3: care what he's saying. That Brigley has the only one
Speaker 3: with IVY a weird quirk. So I mean, Jesse, guess what,
Speaker 3: I don't care?
Speaker 2: Calls up?
Speaker 1: You give me a different quirk? Any other quirks you
Speaker 1: can't says.
Speaker 3: Twas Hill was a quirk, right, I know the flag
Speaker 3: pole in the center field of if Camerica Park before
Speaker 3: they change it, that was a quirk. Right, But don't say,
Speaker 3: don't give me something weird when it's the only stadium
Speaker 3: that has IVY and then say I don't care about
Speaker 3: other ones? Well, then why'd you write this tweet?
Speaker 1: Jesse Benway Park.
Speaker 2: Yeah, every stadium has little quirks in it.
Speaker 3: I mean there's always almost every stadium except for like
Speaker 3: the eighties, Cookie Cutter Stadium's Riverfront and all those ones
Speaker 3: that were all the same, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philly, the vet, right,
Speaker 3: they all were the same. I mean every stadium now
Speaker 3: has somewhat of a quirk. Yankee Stadium has short porches.
Speaker 3: It's a quirk, right, everyone has something. The Mets have
Speaker 3: the little quirk with the apple that pops up right.
Speaker 3: Jesse's quitch showing your fandom. You're supposed to be biased.
Speaker 1: AJ loves is Jesse, by the way, A case you're
Speaker 1: listening and you think he's angry, he's not.
Speaker 3: I mean the White Sox have the pinwheels that spin
Speaker 3: right when they hit home runs. That's a quirk they
Speaker 3: only have in one stadium. But don't tell him about that,
Speaker 3: because it can only be about Wrigley.
Speaker 1: Well playing field quirk.
Speaker 4: Playing field quirk, I would say, I would say Great
Speaker 4: Field is the least quirky. It's very very symmetric.
Speaker 2: That's fair.
Speaker 4: That's fair, which I think sometimes can be a cool aesthetic,
Speaker 4: like it doesn't have to be like how weird can
Speaker 4: we make this? Toronto put in a new fence and
Speaker 4: it was like, oh, we're gonna make it jet down
Speaker 4: and then it goes at an angle like it doesn't
Speaker 4: have to be crazy. I think everybody's still trying to
Speaker 4: duplicate what what they did at Canon Yards. That was
Speaker 4: the one that kind of ushered in, like the coolness,
Speaker 4: and I think they did the best, and I think
Speaker 4: everybody's trying to catch up.
Speaker 1: I love Camden Yards. Okay, let's get to the Mariners
Speaker 1: and Tigers.
Speaker 4: Let's charge about.
Speaker 1: Benches cleared. Not much happened, but there were quite a
Speaker 1: few hit batters. Brian Wu hit three Tiger batters last night.
Speaker 1: Then seventh inning, Manuel DeJesus hit Cal Riley with a
Speaker 1: one to two fastball top of the eighth, gave Spire
Speaker 1: hit Labor, Torres, Spire, and Dan Wilson ejected. Labor said
Speaker 1: he asked Riley about how he was doing before the
Speaker 1: at bat quote when they hit me, I just tried
Speaker 1: to tell him, DeJesus hit you with two strikes. It
Speaker 1: wasn't on purpose. Torres said, I don't try to fight
Speaker 1: with nobody. I'm not that type of guy. Also said
Speaker 1: he was surprised how things escalated. Glabor given the teams
Speaker 1: back and forth with Josh Naylor earlier this year. He said,
Speaker 1: this is baseball. I don't have any issues. They protected
Speaker 1: Raleigh and that's what it is. I'm good. Oh and
Speaker 1: the next part of this is going to be fun
Speaker 1: because Robert Paldez is starting. But anyway, what do you
Speaker 1: take from all the back and forth here that led
Speaker 1: to the flexing? Ay, j.
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, this is what you're supposed to do. Raley
Speaker 3: gets hit, they throw and hit Labor Torres. They didn't
Speaker 3: hit him in the head, It wasn't anywhere.
Speaker 4: It was down.
Speaker 2: I think he even got hitting the elbow pad of him.
Speaker 2: I mean it was down in the.
Speaker 3: Waisted chest area. I had no problem with this. I
Speaker 3: mean Glabor handled it correctly. The benches just ran out
Speaker 3: because everyone likes to get their sprints in for no reason.
Speaker 3: No punches were thrown, nothing happened. It was just it
Speaker 3: was baseball.
Speaker 4: Was fine.
Speaker 3: It was one team protecting the other team. They're in
Speaker 3: a wild card battle. By the way, WU hit Max
Speaker 3: Clark and it was almost a strike. I don't know
Speaker 3: if y'all saw that, but Max Clark's arm was literally
Speaker 3: over the plate. So one of those that Wu hit
Speaker 3: was over the plate. Almost on Max Clark, But yeah,
Speaker 3: I didn't think much of it. I just thought, yeah,
Speaker 3: I just love watching the bolt have to run in
Speaker 3: from leftfield. Why don't the bullpens instead of running the
Speaker 3: home plate, especially when they're close like in Seattle, they
Speaker 3: should just meet right there and fight right there.
Speaker 2: That way we could have two fights going, then the
Speaker 2: camera guys would know what to do.
Speaker 4: Can't have good fights without greenies. So if you win
Speaker 4: good fights, you gotta have greenees. Dudes are just out
Speaker 4: of their minds when they're on greenees, and they're just
Speaker 4: they're willing to fight everybody. But the key part of
Speaker 4: that tweet was right in the middle of it. Emanuel
Speaker 4: de hit Sus hit him with a one two pitch.
Speaker 4: It's okay that you try to go inside one two.
Speaker 4: It's also okay that the other team retaliates when you
Speaker 4: hit their best player. I get it. They didn't hit
Speaker 4: Dominic can zone, but cal Raley is that team leader,
Speaker 4: whether he's in one sixty or he's hitting sixty homers
Speaker 4: like like. It wasn't on purpose, but they said, we're
Speaker 4: not going to have any more of that, and they
Speaker 4: hit Labor. I think I think Gabees Fire handled it well.
Speaker 4: I think Glaber handed it well.

Speaker 1: remember how Wilson Contreras had all his stuff going on
Speaker 1: in a short period of time, and then soon after
Speaker 1: that the Red Sox took off. I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice leads to a ton of wins,
Speaker 1: but the Mariners need to wake up a little bit
Speaker 1: aj they won.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not. They're not playing very well. I mean,
Speaker 3: Brian Willment home is like a sure thing so right
Speaker 3: now on the road, it's a sure thing the other way,
Speaker 3: So don't don't judge that. But yeah, the Mariners need
Speaker 3: to play better. That's about. They can fight all they want.
Speaker 3: But the difference is that the Red Sox got hot
Speaker 3: as fire after all the stuff with Wilson and Tras.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't just Wilson and Traras.
Speaker 3: It was a lot of the other guys, say down
Speaker 3: Rafaela and a lot of the other guys in the lineup,
Speaker 3: Caleb Durban, Monasterio, all these other guys got hot. William
Speaker 3: Brady who has twenty homers now, so their pitching staff
Speaker 3: has been really good. But the Mariners, you see it
Speaker 3: right there, they're they're two and a half back at
Speaker 3: the Astros, and unless something changes quick, I don't know
Speaker 3: they're gonna make the post season. But what's funny is
Speaker 3: the is the Rangers actually in the postseason right now
Speaker 3: at fifty seven and fifty eight, which is also.
Speaker 1: Under five hundred. Not great. Can we show the wildcard
Speaker 1: standings too while we're.
Speaker 4: We're watching it? Like the standings right now do not matter.
Speaker 4: The standings do not matter right now because it can change,
Speaker 4: but it's not changing. In the oh, man, this team
Speaker 4: just got hot, like the Red Sox have totally distanced themselves.
Speaker 4: They want another seven straight whatever they are like twenty
Speaker 4: five and two in their last twenty seven games. I'm
Speaker 4: not watching right now. The Orioles are ahead of the Mariners.
Speaker 4: The Rangers are in the playoffs today unless there's some
Speaker 4: kind of coin flip scenario since will never have Game
Speaker 4: one sixty three. But it doesn't matter right now. I
Speaker 4: do not care. Look at look at the last ten,
Speaker 4: the last ten of the the four teams that are
Speaker 4: on the fringe of the wildcard. I'm sorry, five teams
Speaker 4: including in Minnesota, six teams including the Tigers. Doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Five and five, six and four, ooh, the Ores are hot.
Speaker 4: Three and seven, the Guardians four and six, the Rangers,
Speaker 4: they're all under five hundred. I don't care about the
Speaker 4: standings right now. I haven't looked at the standings in
Speaker 4: three weeks in the American League because it does not
Speaker 4: matter right now.
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna get that third wildcard and there's so many
Speaker 1: teams involved, but it'll take it. No, I get what
Speaker 1: you're saying, it doesn't matter right now. I don't want
Speaker 1: to say none of them care. A couple of them
Speaker 1: went for it, and a couple of them didn't. The
Speaker 1: weird thing about the bye sell the trade deadline is
Speaker 1: that some of the teams that sell are the same
Speaker 1: record wise as some of the teams that buy. I mean,
Speaker 1: the Mariners are an example. They did a light by AJ.
Speaker 1: But the Tigers, the team they're facing and the team
Speaker 1: that they're neck and neck with in the standings, sold
Speaker 1: away two of their best starting pitchers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rangers didn't do anything. They sold Josh Smith, right,
Speaker 3: they didn't do anything, and people said, what do they
Speaker 3: do anything? So and they're in the postseason right now.
Speaker 3: It's a crazy year in the American League. I mean,
Speaker 3: we can look at the Pirates. We said this on
Speaker 3: trade deadline day, the Pirates are under five hundred. They
Speaker 3: had the same record as the Rangers, and the Pirates
Speaker 3: were like, we.
Speaker 2: Want to buy, we want to buy, we want to buy.
Speaker 2: Where the Rangers like, why are we buying? Or five
Speaker 2: hundred or right at five hundred? What's the point? So
Speaker 2: it's a crazy year in the American League.
Speaker 3: Everyone is mediocre dog whatever, you know, they're all mediocre
Speaker 3: dog bleep. I mean it's like everyone except for the
Speaker 3: Rays right now, who are raised Yankees are in the
Speaker 3: Red Sox are kind of the three that have separated
Speaker 3: themselves from this five hundred mess that is the American League.
Speaker 4: Do you want to look at the standings every night
Speaker 4: to see if the Rangers, who had Jacob de Gram
Speaker 4: said yeah, go to Atlanta, would be off the team?
Speaker 4: Like so what if they're half a game up on somebody,
Speaker 4: Like I don't. I don't think unless they start a
Speaker 4: team starts showing something where it's like, yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 4: take this, we're gonna take this division, we're gonna take
Speaker 4: this third wild card spot. By the way they play
Speaker 4: on the field, I'm like, whatever, I definitely want to
Speaker 4: watch the games. I just am not like, ooh a
Speaker 4: half a game him up? All a game out? Need
Speaker 4: o gang.
Speaker 1: H Which team do you like the best of those?
Speaker 2: I mean it's still the Mariners for me right now?
Speaker 4: I mean, how the Orioles. How the Orioles make make
Speaker 4: a run at it with They just got rid of
Speaker 4: Taylor Ward, who had the best one base percentage. They
Speaker 4: got rid of their starting catcher. I get it, he
Speaker 4: was hurt Adley Rutchman like he was their all star.
Speaker 4: How do the how do the let's see who else
Speaker 4: Tigers don't even like stop? Like, if they do it,
Speaker 4: it'll be so cool because it'll be Max Clark and
Speaker 4: McGonagall and whoever else they figure out to pitch nobody
Speaker 4: right So, And I don't think the Rangers. I don't
Speaker 4: think the Rangers have the have the pizzazz to do it.
Speaker 4: I don't think they have like de Grim's like, nah,
Speaker 4: I don't want to go so he could he could
Speaker 4: help him. They've Alady could help them. But I just
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm kind of I guess I'm kind
Speaker 4: of indifferent on them. I think the Mariners have the
Speaker 4: most want to in them, just based on watching these
Speaker 4: teams from AFAR.
Speaker 1: MM hmm okay, but yeah, they're all they're all close
Speaker 1: enough right now.
Speaker 3: Mans also have the best team on paper. I mean,
Speaker 3: let's not that's it also matters as something it should
Speaker 3: matter at some point. The Mirrors have the best team
Speaker 3: on paper.
Speaker 4: How long can we say that? How long have we
Speaker 4: said that? We've said that for so long? And they
Speaker 4: made additions and now like, is it is it August now?
Speaker 4: So Julio is gonna step up? Is it his nailor
Speaker 4: gonna be the guy that they wanted? I mean, you're
Speaker 4: gonna see you're gonna see progression. No way, Cow's gonna
Speaker 4: continue to do what he's done. So he's going to
Speaker 4: get better. He'll probably hit two hundred this year. And
Speaker 4: for him to get to two hundred that would be
Speaker 4: just an epic August and September. So yeah, I agree
Speaker 4: with you, But man, it's just you would think they
Speaker 4: would have taken a stranglehold on this division and they haven't.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm yeah. For I mean, he's been consistently above average,
Speaker 1: you know, all star ish level with his bat for years.
Speaker 1: You could make some knocks on the defense there, but
Speaker 1: I mean last year one thirty seven ops plus year
Speaker 1: before one, twenty four, one, thirty one, twenty one, all
Speaker 1: the way back to I'm back to twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: This year, he's at ninety six. Is he terrible now?
Speaker 1: Is he anywhere near what he was the last five years?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Not right now?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but also cal Raley, I mean you can throw
Speaker 3: cal Rally in there too. And Julio is not having
Speaker 3: a great year. There's really nobody on this team. JP
Speaker 3: Crawford's falling off a cliff. Let's not uh, forget about
Speaker 3: kings Damn. Ken Zone is the one guy that's doing well.
Speaker 3: I mean, Cole Young are the two guys that are
Speaker 3: really doing it for him right now. So but the
Speaker 3: other guys, of all, it's all been struggle from from
Speaker 3: all their veteran guys, most of their veteran guys they
Speaker 3: were counting on. Randy's been fine, right, but Julio, Naylor, Raleigh,
Speaker 3: JP Crawford, all, I mean, even Emerson, who they want
Speaker 3: to say, is this, you know, great guy? He's he's
Speaker 3: actually I mean when I did their game a week ago,
Speaker 3: he was hitting under two hundred, so it's like he
Speaker 3: was on fire either. So, I mean they're built on pitching,
Speaker 3: but at some point, you got to score some sort
Speaker 3: of runs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Krats their big offseason acquisition, who I like
Speaker 1: a lot, doesn't even have one hundred abs this year
Speaker 1: in Brendan Donoman.
Speaker 4: Which, hey, you know what, that's huge he comes back,
Speaker 4: that would be huge for them. But it's gotta it's
Speaker 4: gotta get going because I mean now you're talking about
Speaker 4: trying to make a wildcard. That division is still within range.
Speaker 4: But trying to make a wildcard is tough, especially when
Speaker 4: you have that many teams all muddled around mediocrity.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Hey, do you know the team with the
Speaker 1: second best record in baseball right now? One at a time?
Speaker 2: Verse are the best. So it's not the Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a team the Dodgers are the Rays.
Speaker 1: It's a team that's won seven in a row. Brod
Speaker 1: Sock Braves.
Speaker 2: Oh, to forget about the forget about Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then there's so much sarcasm because everybody trashed their deadline.
Speaker 1: They're like, see their deadline slapped. They've won seven in
Speaker 1: a row. No, they're playing ball. No, it's not a
Speaker 1: good correlation, but good for them. They're playing ball right now.
Speaker 1: I really like the Braves. They need a couple of
Speaker 1: the young guys to eventually be a thing too. I
Speaker 1: mean you would think, right like young Smith going to
Speaker 1: well Smith shover, I mean he's still young. No, if
Speaker 1: he comes back and can do some things for them,
Speaker 1: Will they have a Rinaldo Lopez in October that can
Speaker 1: pitch well? Will they have a healthy Robert Torrez that
Speaker 1: can pitch well? Like there are arms there, they're just
Speaker 1: I mean this this it in April with or even
Speaker 1: before that March with the injuries. Right, Schwellenbach and a
Speaker 1: couple others went down really fast and it started to spin.
Speaker 1: But record wise, they're looking good.
Speaker 4: They probably got off. They probably got off the with
Speaker 4: the least amount of heat. About not making a push
Speaker 4: at Schooble, I think that's fair. I think a team
Speaker 4: like that was Sale and Schooble. But we didn't give them.
Speaker 4: We didn't give them much heat. They would have traded
Speaker 4: Schwellenbach for Scooble. Straight up.
Speaker 1: This is that time of year, AJ. It is Baseball's
Speaker 1: time to shine, and it is sea Geek's time to
Speaker 1: shine with MLB tickets and finding the best pricing seating
Speaker 1: and games that are even sold out available on sea geek.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, if you want to go to the biggest matchups
Speaker 3: coming up. We have Yankees Cubs coming up. Where's Yankees
Speaker 3: red Sox? That means stuff Again, there's some big moments
Speaker 3: that are coming up here in the as the penachases
Speaker 3: really heat up. Go to c can find those green
Speaker 3: tickets with the best deals and get yourself out to
Speaker 3: an MLB game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're straightforward with you. They will actually put
Speaker 1: a red dot next to a ticket that they don't
Speaker 1: feel is your best. Look. Green dot means very good
Speaker 1: code for you. It's Territory ten ten percent off your
Speaker 1: next set of MLB tickets at sekeek. That's ten percent
Speaker 1: off MLB tickets when you use the promo code Territory
Speaker 1: one zero. Make sure you click the link in the
Speaker 1: description to download the app and have the code automatically
Speaker 1: added to your account so you can use it later.
Speaker 1: An injury suckboy, at least we start with a positive
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge resuming some light activity crats and the best
Speaker 1: quote that you can hear if you're a Yankees fan,
Speaker 1: when he was asked if he remains confident that he'll
Speaker 1: play again this season, was like a kidding me. He goes, oh,
Speaker 1: I'll be back this season. I don't know why would be.
Speaker 1: That was always the plan to come back sooner than later, definitely,
Speaker 1: But I never had a thought of not playing this year,
Speaker 1: and I believed that, and now I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know when that's going to be, But it sounds
Speaker 1: like he could get back maybe in a few weeks.
Speaker 4: That's optimistic. It really all depends on what his what
Speaker 4: his ramp up looks like, or even what he has
Speaker 4: been doing. He hasn't just been coming to the ballpark
Speaker 4: sitting on the bench high fiving guys like. There's a
Speaker 4: lot that you do during this stuff that can be
Speaker 4: very meticulous, and it's a good sign that it's showing healing.
Speaker 4: It's also a great sign that as soon as Aaron
Speaker 4: Boone Aaron Boone's quote was, as soon as he found
Speaker 4: out that it's progressing and that he's able to do
Speaker 4: some baseball activities, the next thing he saw was Aaron
Speaker 4: judge and pinstripes and some nails on, put his cleats
Speaker 4: on and went out to the outfield and started running
Speaker 4: around like it's huge. He's chomping at the bit he
Speaker 4: sees the boys are doing and he wants to get
Speaker 4: back out there. So any positive move forward here is
Speaker 4: great for the Yankees and great to have one of
Speaker 4: the best players back on the field for baseball.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then you add Judge back, and what
Speaker 1: does this team look like? I mean, John Carlow should
Speaker 1: come back too. I know he could end up hitting
Speaker 1: the shelf again, but the version of this team in
Speaker 1: October could look very different. The thing I've been using
Speaker 1: lately is to say, hey, if you've got the starting
Speaker 1: pitching surplus, that can start turning into even more bullpen help,
Speaker 1: right to me? If Judge comes back, and forget even Stanton,
Speaker 1: because you have the hitting depth even without John Carlow
Speaker 1: to fill up your dhpot with somebody good. So even
Speaker 1: if you don't get John Carlo, and I think you will,
Speaker 1: you like the rotation. You should like the bullpen, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I mean okay, I think good enough though to when
Speaker 1: you playoff games and not feel like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Maybe you disagree, but I think
Speaker 1: good enough. Yeah, is it the most stable in my
Speaker 1: feeling as good about it as the padres now. And
Speaker 1: then I think the lineup should be almost as good
Speaker 1: as any in baseball. I know it doesn't look good
Speaker 1: now when Judge leeves, but you know it's been the
Speaker 1: same story. I'm not going to fall for it. It's
Speaker 1: like what Noah Hailes has told us with the Pirates.
Speaker 1: You know that they're usually going to fade and they're
Speaker 1: going to let you down at the deadline because they
Speaker 1: didn't couldn't find a nickel. But in this case, when
Speaker 1: Judge comes back, they're.
Speaker 4: Going to hit, you know.
Speaker 1: I think Bounder's gonna hit more down the stretch. I
Speaker 1: do think John Carler is coming back. I liked the
Speaker 1: pickups because I think it gave them more depth. The
Speaker 1: biggest thing they probably did was Lombard up and Foldby down.
Speaker 1: I know he's got a hit, but I don't even
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to be a star, But I think
Speaker 1: that's going to give them a lot more on offense
Speaker 1: that there's a lot that they did recently to me
Speaker 1: that makes the lineup look more full on a day
Speaker 1: to day basis, especially for a lineup that really likes
Speaker 1: to platoon. They're going to do a lot of that
Speaker 1: with the guys that they just brought in, like Rcia Ramos.
Speaker 4: Feels more in place. Their lineup feels more in place.
Speaker 4: It feels like, Okay, we're gonna put We're gonna put
Speaker 4: Cabairo out and left. He hasn't played a lot of left.
Speaker 4: He's gonna be admirable. He's gonna get the ball out quick.
Speaker 4: He's gonna throw it. It's not gonna be super accurate
Speaker 4: because he doesn't play out there very much. Okay, we
Speaker 4: want to get Volpi in. You know, it just feels more,
Speaker 4: It feels more in place. Does it feel like a
Speaker 4: fuller lineup? Yeah, obviously, you know you have anytime you
Speaker 4: add the potential in Elio Ramos, who was an All Star,
Speaker 4: anytime you add in the potential of damage in Luis Garcia,
Speaker 4: Louis Garcia Junior to be able to just add some
Speaker 4: pop off the bench if they started a lefty and
Speaker 4: it was Goldie to starting him in the lineup, Like,
Speaker 4: I just think they're going to hit the ball, but
Speaker 4: they're gonna hit the ball at positions that each of
Speaker 4: those players play. It just felt like too many guys
Speaker 4: were out of position. You know, even even when you
Speaker 4: have a Jason Domingez playing left field where he's kind
Speaker 4: of struggled, or a Spencer Jones playing left field, where
Speaker 4: he hasn't gotten a lot of time in the big leagues.
Speaker 4: But they're both center fielders, and so it was like, Okay, well,
Speaker 4: Jason Dominguz struggling left, We're gonna put him in center. Spencer,
Speaker 4: you play left, I haven't played there a lot. Oh well,
Speaker 4: this is just what we gotta do. You know, cabiiro
Speaker 4: is out and right. It just felt like they didn't
Speaker 4: have quite the team and the positions and the moves
Speaker 4: that they made. Now everybody's Elliot Ramos is a left fielder.
Speaker 4: Luis Garcia Junior, while I should play every day, is
Speaker 4: gonna play against Righty's and he's gonna play first base, Goldie's.
Speaker 4: Goldie was having an incredible year. And if you add
Speaker 4: in Judge, you have to add in you know, John
Speaker 4: Carlo at some point. The biggest piece though, that will
Speaker 4: complete this team and make them, in my opinion, the
Speaker 4: best in the American League. Cody Belder what he looks
Speaker 4: like when he comes back.
Speaker 1: M Yeah, which version will you get?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 1: Al East will stay there for a moment. Red Sox
Speaker 1: on fire rolland can't lose, can't lose series. All that
Speaker 1: just we're in the injury segment here. So Tristan Costas
Speaker 1: surgery on his left risk risk arthroscopic today, the team announced, So,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not going to see him this year.
Speaker 1: So it's another lost season for him. They've moved on, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, Tristan Cossas was the first baseman they picked
Speaker 1: up Wilson contrast this offseason. That's working out for them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they knew it was part of their immediate moves
Speaker 4: for this season, and good for them. Tough for Tristan Cossas. Now,
Speaker 4: he's got to be, like I'm gonna say ninety three
Speaker 4: percent of big leaguers at some point in their career,
Speaker 4: you got to re establish yourself. You got to prove
Speaker 4: it that you're worth being in the big leagues for
Speaker 4: whatever team it's going to be. If it's Boston, great,
Speaker 4: if it's not. There's plenty of big league teams, but
Speaker 4: you got to reprove yourself.
Speaker 1: Yes, Next up, Joe Ryan is hurt. He sometimes has
Speaker 1: trouble in the second half. Man, he's so good when
Speaker 1: he starts the season. And Dan Hayes reported that you
Speaker 1: know he's gone by to Minnesota going to get evaluated.
Speaker 1: They're calling it a lower half issue and we can
Speaker 1: show the quotes here. So he's supposed to start on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I think that already got wiped away, right. I don't
Speaker 1: think he got eye led yet unless I missed it.
Speaker 1: But he's definitely in some trouble here. He was asked
Speaker 1: if it's a mechanical issue with his delivery, and he goes, quote,
Speaker 1: that's probably part of it. I don't know what's necessarily
Speaker 1: causing that side of it. Then get to asked if
Speaker 1: you feel like he's physically capable of executing his delivery,
Speaker 1: and he said no, definitely not.
Speaker 4: Injuries undisclosed. Injuries are tough to con tough to comment
Speaker 4: on other than and comment on the fact that at
Speaker 4: this point in the year, if you're one hundred percent,
Speaker 4: I got a limb and say you haven't really pushed
Speaker 4: the limits too hard. Just nobody's one hundred percent, is
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Especially a guy that's taking the ball
Speaker 4: every five days, you're dealing with something. This is a
Speaker 4: place where the Dodger really have an advantage. They can
Speaker 4: say show, hey, you don't need to push through this
Speaker 4: knee or bicep, whatever it is that's flaring up. And
Speaker 4: other teams don't necessarily have that, and hopefully this is
Speaker 4: something that's quick for Joe Ryan. But you're pushing through
Speaker 4: something and you try to figure it out. And that's
Speaker 4: why the best players are that much better than other players,
Speaker 4: because they're able to play through injuries and still succeed
Speaker 4: at a big ley level.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and losing Joe Ryan for any semblance of time
Speaker 1: would be trouble. Twins have lost. I believe it's four
Speaker 1: in a row entering today. Noah Cameron really was lights
Speaker 1: out against them last night in their loss. So we'll
Speaker 1: see if the Twins have something in them. The Reds
Speaker 1: are they were lost in space at the trade deadline.
Speaker 1: Now they lose Hunter Green again. Injured list for him.
Speaker 1: He's going to see doctor Neil elatrosh today discomfort in
Speaker 1: his right elbow after a side session on Tuesday, had
Speaker 1: the MRI. So now he's going to get checked out.
Speaker 1: Not great, damn it, that's it.
Speaker 4: He can't like you don't add this is It's tough
Speaker 4: to see. It's tough to see because yes, you know,
Speaker 4: he was a prospect all that stuff. To me, I
Speaker 4: felt like he turned the corner and he really hasn't
Speaker 4: pitched this year. And it's another reason you try not
Speaker 4: to pitch through certain types of injuries because if they're
Speaker 4: not one hundred percent healed, other parts of your body
Speaker 4: start to break down. And this you never want to
Speaker 4: see a visit to any doctor to get a second
Speaker 4: opinion a first opinion about a pitcher's elbow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a bad year for the Reds overall. Okay,
Speaker 1: Brewers thriving on a nightly basis. They get Kyle Harrison back.
Speaker 1: He did have to leave his start, and everyone's like, ah,
Speaker 1: but it's okay. It's cramping. That seems to be a thing.
Speaker 4: With the Brothers.
Speaker 1: It seems to be a thing. And apparently he said
Speaker 1: he was trying all the remedies. Hot cinnamon stuff he
Speaker 1: called it, and also a shot of pickle juice.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 4: Hydration is a life choice. Hydration is a pre pre game.
Speaker 4: You're drinking ten bottles of water from the end of
Speaker 4: the night before game to the beginning of when you
Speaker 4: get to the park. You're drinking your electrolytes. You're having
Speaker 4: your And I know for a fact because I played
Speaker 4: for the Brewers, and some of the trainers that are
Speaker 4: that were there are still there. They have all that
Speaker 4: out there now. The Miz hasn't had any cramps recently,
Speaker 4: but he was dealing with cramps. You know, Kyle Harrison,
Speaker 4: they gotta figure it out. You gotta like to come
Speaker 4: out with double caff cramps. That's crazy, it you have.
Speaker 4: He has to. When you're drinking during the game, you're
Speaker 4: only just maintaining the levels that you have, not Oh yeah,
Speaker 4: I had seven bottles of water during the game. Too late,
Speaker 4: you're thirsty, It's too late. Yeah, that's what he said.
Speaker 1: That's what he said.
Speaker 2: That's what he said.
Speaker 1: That's what he said. And so Kevin Gosman's full of quotes.
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about one first and then we'll
Speaker 1: show another one. But you know, he kind of hinted
Speaker 1: to the team that it wouldn't be the best thing
Speaker 1: ever if he had to face his old squad right away.
Speaker 1: You know, he obviously would have pitched, but he was
Speaker 1: just like, yeah, if you know, wait, you know, a
Speaker 1: little bit longer.
Speaker 4: What did he say?
Speaker 1: Shyed to Beat tweeted this today. Just caught up with
Speaker 1: Gosman in the clubhouse. He said he didn't necessarily ask
Speaker 1: his start to get pushed past the blue Jays, but
Speaker 1: he was like, can we not? I just know it
Speaker 1: would be a lot. I just want to focus on
Speaker 1: trying to win a game, and there's a lot more
Speaker 1: pitching against him. I think I could do it. I
Speaker 1: know those hitters pretty well over their strengths weaknesses. I
Speaker 1: think it would be a lot mentally. But he said
Speaker 1: really close to a lot of those guys and wish
Speaker 1: him nothing but the best. The whole deal there, right,
Speaker 1: So there's that, and then we also have the quote
Speaker 1: about what it's like to be at Wrigley versus where
Speaker 1: he was at. So let's run it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's really fun, you know. Obviously playing
Speaker 6: a team like the Dodgers, uh, brings the best out
Speaker 6: of everybody, which is good.
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny.
Speaker 6: My wife is the first time she's been here, and
Speaker 6: after the first day she was here, you know, she said,
Speaker 6: it's so different than Toronto, and I was like, yeah,
Speaker 6: the focus is baseball. You know, it's it's real grass,
Speaker 6: you know, it's outside, you know, so there's a lot
Speaker 6: of different things than what we're used to. But we're
Speaker 6: excited for all the new experiences.
Speaker 1: What does he mean there?
Speaker 4: What that that's that's my question. My question is, I
Speaker 4: mean the first part is the focus is baseball, like
Speaker 4: at is he taking a shot at the surroundings of
Speaker 4: the game, like the sense of like are they more
Speaker 4: interested in the songs in between at bats? Are they?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 4: I feel like Chicago can be a little bit of
Speaker 4: a distractable place too. A lot of celebrities going around,
Speaker 4: a lot of bleacher creatures, a lot of stuff. We
Speaker 4: just talked about the IVY, but cups, yeah, stacking cups, Like,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of a lot of shticks going on.
Speaker 4: But I mean, clearly Gozman felt like maybe it was
Speaker 4: a little bit less baseball centric. I would say in
Speaker 4: Toronto is how I'm taking it. The fact that there's
Speaker 4: it's real grass, it's outside, I'll be honest. His wife
Speaker 4: doesn't want to go there in April in Chicago, and
Speaker 4: nobody wants to play outside in April in Toronto because
Speaker 4: I remember there's still ice on the lake when I
Speaker 4: played in Toronto in April, and so I was very
Speaker 4: thankful for the roof to be closed. So I don't know,
Speaker 4: the fuck, Yeah, I think it feels like it was
Speaker 4: a little bit of a shot at just what's going on.
Speaker 4: You know, surrounding the fields.
Speaker 1: I wish someone got a follow up in there, and
Speaker 1: maybe they did. That was the clip that was posted
Speaker 1: all over the place. But it's not even just to
Speaker 1: cover his tracks. It's also just a legitimate follow up,
Speaker 1: like what do you mean give us more? Did you
Speaker 1: experience things that didn't feel like baseball versus here Gossman
Speaker 1: have a hard time seeing him taking a direct shot.
Speaker 1: It almost felt indirect where he's like, you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff going on there and here,
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait, wait what.
Speaker 4: I think? And I think I mentioned it on here
Speaker 4: and got roasted talking about how sometimes in the locker room,
Speaker 4: like you get some people that come into the locker
Speaker 4: room that never cover baseball, and they ask questions that
Speaker 4: are not at all, like I can tell you're not pertaining,
Speaker 4: like you don't you don't know what's going on here,
Speaker 4: So sometimes that's more distracting. I equated it to the
Speaker 4: playoffs where they kind of give a lot of people
Speaker 4: different microphones to come into the clubhouse, but not never
Speaker 4: felt like anything like fan wise or or outside of that,
Speaker 4: like the Blue Jays fans. I mean, if you haven't
Speaker 4: been to a back to back day game with the
Speaker 4: roof open. In Toronto on a weekend they do the
Speaker 4: Saturday Day Game, Sunday Day Game. Something about that energy
Speaker 4: and all that's going on, the sunshining, the batter's box, turning,
Speaker 4: the concrete, all that stuff is it is to me,
Speaker 4: it's an electric place to play. And I think Rigley's
Speaker 4: probably the same. It's funny because he said his wife
Speaker 4: had never been there. I felt like every wife always
Speaker 4: went to Chicago, rarely go to the game. The shopping
Speaker 4: is tremendous in Chicago.
Speaker 1: Chicago in the summertime in general, I mean Toronto in
Speaker 1: the summertime. Those places no how to summer because they
Speaker 1: know how to winter.
Speaker 4: The winter is coming, as the Game of Thrones, winter
Speaker 4: is coming for both of those cities.
Speaker 1: Just a quick one. On the way out, we spoke
Speaker 1: about the Christian yellig story and some Bruis fans were like,
Speaker 1: there wasn't that much booing going on, and we acknowledged
Speaker 1: that too. We weren't there and we were just rolling
Speaker 1: the sound from Pat Murphy. What do the classy Brewers
Speaker 1: fans do the next day when Yelich comes through with
Speaker 1: an RBI dubuff, Paul Skenes for the first run of
Speaker 1: the game, standing.
Speaker 4: Out standing out. You knew they would, You knew they would,
Speaker 4: Like I said, my person on the inside there said
Speaker 4: it was a definite strict minority the other night. And
Speaker 4: you know what, boo that fan boo those fans, those
Speaker 4: five guys who had a few too many Millers that night. Like,
Speaker 4: that's not that's not Brewers fans last night, that's Brewers fans.
Speaker 4: Christian Yellis is gonna be a huge part of this
Speaker 4: run that the Brewers are going to make this year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know you always do your New
Speaker 1: York thing where it's like, boo, you stink, Give me
Speaker 1: a baseball, Sign my bat, sign my glove. It's five
Speaker 1: dudes with gloves in the outfield that are above the
Speaker 1: age of forty five yo.
Speaker 4: So cousin's birthday, Give me a ball.
Speaker 7: They don't talk like that in Milwaukee, Nocent, Christian Yelich, guy,
Speaker 7: if you don't mind giving me a ball, I'll put
Speaker 7: in my big and we'll u it's going to be great.
Speaker 4: We'll go up to the dells right afterwards. It's going
Speaker 4: to be an amazing time out here with some cheese
Speaker 4: cards and.
Speaker 1: Let me throw in a boo at the boo crats.
Speaker 4: That's what you got. I mean, since we're talking about
Speaker 4: the guys last night days here to shore, how could
Speaker 4: I not wear my Milwaukee Brewers America hat. They're celebrating
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty years down here at Ocean City,
Speaker 4: New Jersey. It just feels feels so patriotic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, on our way out here. Actually, yeah, you
Speaker 1: see Mike Kruco's retiring. That was during the show. The
Speaker 1: announcement came out. So I don't have all the info,
Speaker 1: but we love you. Sent out by the San Francisco
Speaker 1: Giants account. Thirty five years I think was the run
Speaker 1: for her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, really good, thirty five, thirty six somewhere in there.
Speaker 4: That's incredible.
Speaker 1: A really nice and unique Listen when you listen to
Speaker 1: Giants games. You know what I'm saying, Like, it's nice
Speaker 1: and it's it's just it's different. It's peaceful, I would
Speaker 1: say a lot of the time in the right way.
Speaker 1: But you know, like enthusiasm, but those two just flow.
Speaker 4: H they don't get they don't get too excited. They
Speaker 4: they ride, they ride the they ride the highs pretty
Speaker 4: well and the lows pretty well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they hate the Dodgers. And the Dodgers have
Speaker 1: a live show that comes up next after us with
Speaker 1: Alan of Katie and Clint, so you can yell at
Speaker 1: them if you think that they're unfair, but they've also
Speaker 1: lost six in a row, so be kind. We'll see Friday.
Speaker 1: H
