1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: Do I think he did it on purpose? No, I don't. 2 00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 2: However, if you're the Padres and you're sitting there and 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: your guy gets hit again, your right to be upset. 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 3: Let the Inside Scoop on a Friday with FT senior 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 3: insider Ken Rosenthal. Ken, Happy Friday to you, and let's 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 3: crack open your Fresh Notes column. It's in the Athletic 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 3: right now. I'm going to start with the Mets. What 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: do you have for us on the Mets this morning 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 3: and where they could look to trade to acquire assets 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 3: to help them compete with teams like the Dodgers, Yankees, Padres, etc. 11 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: Well, I combine on this notess column with Will Salmon, 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: who covers the Mets for the Athletic, and he contributed 13 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: that note, and it's basically about how the Mets pitching 14 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 2: prospect wise is so strong right now that they can 15 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: move guys who are not among their top five pitching 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: prospects and they'll still have value. They still may be 17 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 2: able to get the Mets players that they want. They 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: did this last year in for Jesse Winker and later 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: trade for Jose Siri, a couple of different things that 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: they did. So that is where the Mets stand and 21 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: it's a great place to be in from an organizational standpoint, 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 2: because you have the ability to improve yourself without giving 23 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: up your top young talent. And that, according to what 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: will contribute to this column, is where they are right now. 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 4: And they have other guys coming back, but they've hit 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 4: this little like they've hit this little lull in their season. 27 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 4: I'm not saying this is who the Mets are, but 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 4: how do they get out of this lull in the 29 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 4: sense that like Canning's not doing as well, McGill's now 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 4: in the IL, and I'm forgetting someone else's Oh yeah, yeah, yes, 31 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 4: and and and Frankie moltoss is supposed to come back 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 4: in just time, but he's not thrown very well. 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: How do they make it through this transition? 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: Well, there are a couple of ways to do it, 35 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: right Eric, you know how this is from being a player. 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: You can either hit your way out of it, which 37 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: the Mets are certainly capable of doing. And Soto has 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: been hot, Alonso has been hot in June as well, 39 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 2: end or not as much, or you can start pitching better, 40 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 2: and I expect both things will happen. Quite honestly, all 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 2: teams hit a lull. The Yankees just hit theirs, and 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: maybe it's still a situation where they're in a lull. 43 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: But the season is so long that even the best 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: teams have these things happen. 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: Now. 46 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: I'm not saying the Yankees and the Mets are the 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: best teams in baseball, but what team is going to 48 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: go through one sixty two and not have a scenario 49 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 2: where they're not playing on all. 50 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: Cylinders, not firing on all cylinders. 51 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,959 Speaker 2: That's where the Mets are right now. It's a big 52 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: series this weekend in Philadelphia. I'm here right now. We've 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: got the game on Fox tomorrow, and that's going to 54 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: be somewhat telling. The Phillies are now in a tie 55 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: with the Mets for first place. And I know it's 56 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: only late June, but the Mets want to get going again, 57 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: I'm quite sure, and the Phillies want to establish themselves 58 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: as the principal threat in that division, if not the 59 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: front runner. 60 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 5: Now, let's switch gear cit the Yankees too. I mean, 61 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 5: we saw what happened. I was in the booth there talking. 62 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 5: Didn't never see that one coming, to be honest with you. 63 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 5: The scoreless innings, thirty scoreless innings, what have you seen 64 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 5: or heard about that whole situation with theren I mean 65 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 5: we were there talking, they had a little meeting. It 66 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: wasn't a player's meeting. Came back strong to you know, 67 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 5: the last game. But what were you hearing about that 68 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 5: whole situation with the Yankees going through this whole slide thing, 69 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 5: per se. 70 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: They just stopped hitting. That was one thing. Seven runs 71 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,679 Speaker 1: in seven games. 72 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 2: Obviously, when you're the team that leads the American League 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: and runs scored, that is quite an unusual situation. 74 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: What bothered me a little. 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: Bit about what the Yankees were going through there is 76 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 2: that they were making some of the same mistakes we 77 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: saw them make last year. Guys getting picked off, guys 78 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: making errors, things along those lines where they looked a 79 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: little sloppy. They had improved upon that quite a bit 80 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: in the early going of the season. I don't believe 81 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: that it's necessarily who they are. It is who they 82 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 2: were last year and we all saw it, so they too, 83 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: kind of are just coming out of it in their minds, 84 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: hopefully now because they had to win over the Angels 85 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: last night. I'll tell you a funny story, Todd. I 86 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: had a story. I have a story written about Aaron 87 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: Judge and some of the things he's done differently this year. 88 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: And I was supposed to run it last Monday in 89 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: the Athletic, but then they got swept by the Red Sacks. 90 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: He started sliding. 91 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: Well, I still haven't published it because I need him 92 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 2: to get going here a little bit. 93 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: Obviously, if I. 94 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: Publish a story now, fans are gonna say, hey, what 95 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: are you doing? 96 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: They stick so. 97 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 5: Coming Eventually, that was yours right there. That was pretty 98 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 5: good impression. Did you move back or something? 99 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: Todd One thing. 100 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 2: I was talking to a writer who was in the 101 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: clubhouse last night. He said, he overheard you talking to 102 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: Mike Mark Lighter Junior, and he thought he was walking 103 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: into the middle of an episode of Jersey Shore. 104 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 5: That's funny. That's funny. I think I know he talking 105 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 5: about to have a little shot either way. Now, let's 106 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 5: go back, let's go back. Yankees. Yeah, they struggled. They 107 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 5: they are on struggle bus. They kind of kicked through 108 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 5: the Angels. Bullpen has been absolutely phenomenal. They talked about 109 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 5: the first half of the year to now two point 110 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 5: seventy nine e r a uh through from May eighteenth 111 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 5: through now Wednesday, They just got these guys that are 112 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 5: just coming to Hunter Strickland fourteen point two scoreless innings 113 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 5: read Detmer's thirteen straight scoreless outings. These got guys that 114 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 5: are just doing it, and it just seemed like they 115 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 5: were so overpowering. 116 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 3: Wait what before you jump into this, Ken, I just 117 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: want to see if I can get Todd to pronounce 118 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 3: one other guy who's really been racking it up and 119 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: not because you probably skipped him, and I bet you 120 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 3: can see him on Ken's article, Ryan Zephyr Sean. 121 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 4: Oh nice? 122 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: Wait did you say his name? 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 4: No?

They all have made significant contributions and going 138 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: forward with them again, I'm not saying they're great, but 139 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: up the middle o'hapi netto and they've got Seano at 140 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: first base. They've got jo Adell coming on now. They 141 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: have some good things happening. And I don't see them 142 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: being a contender anytime soon because I don't know that 143 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: Artie Moreno is an owner who has a coherent enough 144 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: plan to make them a contender. 145 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: But they've been quite an interesting club and. 146 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 2: If handled properly, and they have the number two pick 147 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: in the draft coming up, if they kind of keep 148 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: going along these lines, they can be in a couple 149 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: of years pretty good. 150 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: Now, we'll see if it happens. 151 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: It's summertime, and if you want to let it all 152 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 3: flow out but the hair is thinning, there is a 153 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: solution for you and crats. 154 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: It's called nutrifol. 155 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: Tell the people what they need to do. 156 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 4: It's easy.

Because now they 177 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: have Logan o'hapi Young Netto, Young Shanawell is doing really well. 178 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 4: Young Adele is the most home runs in this and yeah, 179 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 4: in the month of June in baseball. Do they have 180 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 4: any pieces that they could trade to then add to 181 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 4: all of these young guys that are kind of slowly 182 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 4: hitting their stride. 183 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: They do. 184 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 2: I don't know that they want to give them up. 185 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: They've worked hard to kind of get their farm system 186 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: in a better place. It's still not one of the 187 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: best farm systems. But we've seen them act rashly at 188 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 2: the deadline just two years ago. 189 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Remember what they did. 190 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 2: They added Giolito and Rinaldo Lopez and a few others, 191 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 2: and then, of course, when it turns out they weren't 192 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: going to contend, they dumped them all before the August thirty, 193 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: first deadline for setting postseason rosters. 194 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: So could they improve by making trades? Eric, Yes, they could. 195 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: Should they at this point? Probably not. 196 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: It's not where they are as a franchise. I don't 197 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: know that this team should be going all out simply 198 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. But there are signs of hope 199 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: there now. The problem again is the direction of the 200 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: team and where they're going with it, And that's the 201 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: question that we'll always have. 202 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 4: All right, let's shift over to the White Sox and 203 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 4: what they have available. Is this the first time we've 204 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 4: ever heard that the White Sox are gonna actually try 205 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: to move somebody and not just let them get DFAED 206 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 4: and then go have success somewhere else. 207 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: Well, they've moved some players before, and certainly Crochet in 208 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: the offseason, and they've done some other things as well. 209 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: But what we wrote about today. 210 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: Is the idea that with Ben and Tende and Luis 211 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: Robert Jr. Willing to pick up money as well as 212 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 2: obviously make the trade and go about the normal transaction course, 213 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: so that would enhance their value of Robert and Ben 214 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 2: and Tende. It would at least make them palatable maybe 215 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: to teams because if the White Sox are paying part 216 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: of the freight, it helps them because maybe they can 217 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: get better talent back, and of course it helps the 218 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: acquiring team that doesn't have to pay the full price. 219 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting. 220 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 2: Ben and Tende, when I looked yesterday before I wrote this, 221 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: was basically a league average player. 222 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: This year, he hits the Grand Slam last night. 223 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: He's fourteen percent above league average, and OPS plus. 224 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: Looks a little bit better. 225 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 2: He doesn't really play defense much, or but play it 226 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: well anymore. Robert is a different kind of player. He's 227 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: not hitting, but he's stealing bases, he's playing defense. I 228 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: don't know that either of them carries much value, but 229 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: sure the White Socks are going to be open minded 230 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: when it comes to trading them, and they may be 231 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 2: in position to trade two of their veterans starting pitchers, 232 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 2: guys they've recently acquired, Adrian Hauser and Aaron Savali. 233 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: Last night, well late last night, pasted Derek's bedtime. But 234 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 5: for me, we saw a little scuffle, little huha go 235 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 5: on last night between the Podgers and Dodgers. It's been 236 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 5: a lot of balls being thrown at guys. Whether it's 237 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 5: on purpose or not, we don't know. Shilt came in, 238 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 5: fired up. Dave Roberts was fired up. You know, what 239 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 5: do you say about this? Is the rivalry kind of 240 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 5: renewed a little bit, is it? Like all? I can't 241 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 5: wait to see these guys playing next. Guys could have 242 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 5: gotten hurt, you know, And it's a different kind of ballgame, 243 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 5: as we all know. 244 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: There's no question the rivalry is hot right now, no question, 245 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: maybe the hottest rivalry in baseball. And we saw the 246 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: passions flow the entire series, and that's the way it's 247 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: been these teams have met quite a few times in 248 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 2: the playoffs in recent years, there is bad blood between them. 249 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: As for last night, with the Tattisse incident, that's three 250 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: times in the last ten days that he has been 251 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: hit by the Dodgers. Now I knows Jack Littley's making 252 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,199 Speaker 2: his major league debut. Do I think he did it 253 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: on purpose? 254 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 5: No? 255 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: I don't. 256 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: However, if you're the Padres and you're sitting there and 257 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 2: your guy gets hit again, your right to be upset. 258 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 2: Now what Shildt did and Dave robertson that whole thing. 259 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what's going on between them. Shilt 260 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 2: can be irritating two opponents, I'm sure, and maybe came 261 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: out a little. 262 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Bit too strongly there. 263 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: But at the same time, if I'm him, I'm tipped 264 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 2: off that this is happening. So when they play again, yes, 265 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure that there will be eager anticipation, and there 266 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 2: should be. These are two really good teams, and there 267 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: are two teams that have had this rivalry develop over 268 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: the last several years, with great players on both sides, 269 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: and that's part of what is fueling this. So yeah, 270 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 2: I anticipate that it's going to continue. It should continue 271 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: because they're both really good. Actually wrote about the Padres 272 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 2: a little bit today relative to the deadline, because they're 273 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: in a tough spot in my opinion. They don't know 274 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 2: what's going on with King. He's out until at least 275 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: the All Star break with a pinch nerve on his shoulder. 276 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: Hugh Darvish has yet to pitch this season. They are 277 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 1: getting by with lower priced, lesser name starters right now. 278 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: They've got a hole in left field. They could use 279 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: better production out a catcher. There are a number of 280 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: things with this team you can look at and say, 281 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: I wish it was a little bit better, and yet 282 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: they're still holding one of the wildcard spots. They're still 283 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: in a really good position, and it's going to be fascinating, 284 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: as it always is at the deadline, to see what 285 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: their general manager Aj Preler does, because this is a 286 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: little bit of a different challenge for him. His farm 287 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: system is not what it once was. He has multiple 288 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: things to patch, and he also faces the possibility of 289 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: losing both Dylan Cees and Michael King to free agency 290 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the season. 291 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 4: And you also wrote the similarities between the Padres and 292 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 4: another team in their division, who's only three games back 293 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 4: behind them the Diamondbacks. So what are some of those 294 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 4: similarities that you're seeing. They're both in kind of a 295 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 4: weird position. 296 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 2: The similarities go back to the injuries and with the Padres, 297 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: Musgrove we've know is out for the year, and then 298 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 2: you have King and Darvish as well. With the Diamondbacks, 299 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: Jordan Montgomery out for the year, Corbyn Burns out for 300 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: the year, their closer, Justin Martinez out for the year 301 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: all elbows, and Gabriel Moreno, their catcher, just went on 302 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: the injured list as well. 303 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: Both teams also have aces, potential free agent aces Cease 304 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 1: for the Padres and Zach Allen for the Diamondbacks, who 305 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: have not. 306 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 2: Performed the way you would hope in a walk year, 307 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 2: or in any year for that matter. So from those perspectives, 308 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: those angles, they're both in really interesting positions. And the 309 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: other commonality is that they both are run by general 310 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: managers who do not want to concede. Aj Preller he's 311 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: always in by mode and Mike Kaysen was rather vocal 312 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: on MLB Network Radio last week He's the Diamondbacks general manager, 313 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: about how his intention is to buy unless of course 314 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: things fall apart, and he wants to make his team better. 315 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: Even with all the injuries, with all that has. 316 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: Gone wrong, they believe in their club and they've got 317 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: a top five offense, so why not. It's just going 318 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: to be challenging for both of them to maybe get 319 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: where they. 320 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: Want to be. 321 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: Ken good stuff. And lastly, you got where we at 322 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 3: Phillies Mets Phillis Mets, Philly's Mets this weekend, Saturday night 323 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: or day night, Saturday night. 324 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 4: You can't have dinner tonight together? 325 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: What what? 326 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 4: Oh? Wait, no, he didn't text me again when he's 327 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 4: in Philly. 328 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: Wow, Eric, there's this little thing called work that's gonna 329 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: come before our dinner. 330 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 4: All right, don't get Oh you're not eating.
