If you ever need 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.560 to fix, all you need to do is play the Angels. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.760 The Angels are the ultimate slumpbuster. They really are. If 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.040 a team's in a slump, yeah, just go play the Angels. 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.560 I mean that you made a great comparison on your 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.919 reaction today, just a plus comparison. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:39.840 Enlighten the people. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.280 So you compare them to the four to twenty thirteen Mariners. 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.520 I was like, wow, how have I never thought of 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:51.800 this before? I mean, that's exactly it's it's aging superstar 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.480 and then zero development in the minor leagues and a 0:02:55.520 --> 0:03:01.320 team that is perpetually winning seventy three eighty wins. 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.560 That was the first time you'd ever thought of that. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.840 That's what I've thought about the Angels forever. Now it 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.400 is literally the twenty four to twenty thirteen Mariners. 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:10.280 Because I haven't seen the light. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.520 I mean, just a team like the Mariners were for 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:19.640 that decade. The Angels no direction, no farm system, like, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.720 no sense of urgency at the top. They spend poorly, 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:27.160 they don't develop well, they draft. I mean, look, Tyler 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.240 Bremner might end up being good, but the fact they 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:33.240 actually passed on Kate Anderson for another college pitcher. I mean, 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.960 and you wonder why Perryman Nation finally got fired. Yeah, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.320 like I don't. I don't know how anybody could be 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.240 a one sixty twur, a true one sixty tower and 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:46.640 watch every game of the Los Angeles Angels. I mean, 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.280 if there's Angels fans listening to this, I really am sorry, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.280 but I know there's probably not, because I don't even 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.400 think Angels fans exist at this point. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.600 Well, we know one. 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.600 Was Swilly from John Boy. 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.040 Oh no, well no, I meant one personally, maybe not publicly, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.360 but okay, then maybe two. 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.280 Oh we had we had one friend from ASU who 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:09.760 was an Angels fan. I guess that's true. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:15.000 Never there was that one game in twenty seventeen, early 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.279 in the year the Mariners bleue to the Angels, wasn't 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.480 it Rott was Fernana Rodney on the MOUNTDA. 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:21.920 In this thing? Yeah? Oh oh he blew it. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.039 And Albert Poolhols and Mike Trout did the arrow. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.159 Oh wait, sorry, that wasn't twenty seventeen. I think that 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.440 was twenty fifteen. Or oh no, that was twenty fourteen. 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.159 It was twenty fourteen that that happened. 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.240 Okay, so then I'm thinking of it and maybe an 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.040 Edwin Diaz outing that he blew. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:38.880 Yeah, yeah, that they did blow a big lead in 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.240 twenty seventeen. I think it was a nine one, nine 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.320 to three in Anaheim and the ninth and they blew it. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.640 I remember running down the hall of our dorm too, 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.479 said said persons with Roominy, and he's like, I can't 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:53.400 literally can't believe what just happened. That's like the vivid 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.520 memory of me interacting with an Angels fan in my 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.200 entire life Like that, that tells you the state. Yeah, 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.400 Los Angeles Angels franchise. Not much has changed since. 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:05.040 No, well that and then again we met Swelly from 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.320 John Boy in spring training this year because she was 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.800 at Mariner's camp for a day and she's a big 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:11.400 Angels fan. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.239 But you don't find many of them, man, you just don't. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.200 And it definitely helps Mariner's pitchers to face this Angel's lineup. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.560 Like list off some of the the outings for Mariner's 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.880 pitchers against the Angels this year. The Mariner's starting pitching 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.279 dominated in this three game series against the Angels. George 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.839 Kirby struck out fourteen Angels twice last year. It's a 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:37.360 lineup really without that much of a plan and without 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.119 that much depth behind it. I mean, they have Nolan 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.279 shanawall bitten at batting in the middle of the lineup. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.600 That dude has no juice whatsoever. So it just makes 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.159 Bryce Miller's job a lot easier when he faces a 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.400 lineup like this. He needs to be careful with like 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:54.280 two guys, and he can just you can just go attack. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.000 And that's literally what Bryce Miller did all night. Like 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:01.400 Bryce Miller's mindset works perfectly with facing this Angel's lineup. 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:04.040 It just throws as many strikes as humanly possible and 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:05.400 you know they're never gonna touch it. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.479 Who are the two Angels to be careful with? Obviously Netto, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.160 are you counting. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.320 Troul Maybe three? Then I was gonna say, in this 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.040 current lineup that they rolled out here on Thursday evening, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.480 it would have been Solaire Adele and Zach Neto. 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:24.920 Dude, I mean, look, Joe Adele is an incredibly nice dude. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:26.520 We've gotten to talk to him a bit and shout 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.600 out to him, but just objectively by the numbers, this year, 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.800 he's not hitting very well. So I don't even know 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:35.480 if you really have to be that careful with him 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.719 right now. I mean, he's got a six seventy eight ops. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.720 We did it, almost hit forty homers last year. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.760 Well, last year. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.719 He was top ten in the league at homers, but 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.960 this year it's been a little bit different. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:47.719 Maybe. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.760 I mean, Jorge Silaire is not really lighting the world 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.000 on fire either. I'm just saying, like those guys, if 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.400 you throw him a middle middle fastball might park one 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.600 into the seats. And in a game like tonight, that 0:06:57.720 --> 0:07:00.440 was the only way the Mariners, the only way the 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.400 Mariners are gonna lose, But the only way Bryce Miller 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.080 was going to give up runs because he wasn't given 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.559 up that many base runners. Sure, so, I mean maybe 0:07:07.560 --> 0:07:08.440 in that sense. 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.600 I mean these Mariners arms. I mean, you're right. 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.640 Bryce Miller goes seven shut out here in the finale 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.480 on Thursday, Brian wu goes nearly seven innings, giving up 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:21.000 two earned runs. On Tuesday, Yes six and third, giving 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.920 up two earned runs and then Monday with Kirby, I 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.280 mean he went seven innings. Yeah, he was dominant Kirby 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.880 on on Monday. Yeah went or sorry, eight innings, not 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.480 seven eight innings to earned runs, seven punchouts. I mean 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.360 the Los Angeles Angels people. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.240 Yeah, thank you very much, Los Angeles Angels. 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.960 But by the way, why in the world was there 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.000 an off day on Wednesday? And I know your answer 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:46.920 is gonna be oh, because there was a World Cup game. 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.520 It wasn't the US. The game was at one o'clock. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.360 It wasn't all that crowded down there. Why was that 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:53.880 game off? 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.960 There needs to be a certain amount of time I 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:07.560 believe between between the game at Lumen or Seattle Stadium 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.400 and then the game at T Mobile Park. I think 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:14.240 it's I'm gonna say it needs to be six hours 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.080 between kickoff times. 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.360 But that can't be right because the Seahawks back in 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.920 October had their game end and the Mariner's playoff game 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:22.840 starts an hour later. 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.360 But they were in the same place. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:27.880 Yeah. 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.400 Remember the crazy Sunday. It was game two of the 0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:34.960 Alds against the Tigers, the first google game the Mariners won. 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.040 The Seahawks lost one of their only three games of 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.560 the year that year to the Bucks late and then 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.120 the matters started about an hour later. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:50.600 Right, Okay, I believe that's the case, because Okay, I 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.319 think I have an answer for this now, because before 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.600 the season started, MLB New Seattle was going to host 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.319 a Round of thirty two game on Wednesday, but you 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:01.120 didn't know a time. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:02.880 I guess that's true. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.800 It could have been because we were the two slots 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.800 one in five on that same Yeah, so they played it. 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:10.240 If they ended up playing a night game at like 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.000 five o'clock, then that would have been different than they 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:14.920 couldn't have done both. 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:19.040 Yeah, let me say this too. I know this is 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.120 a baseball podcast. Monday down by the stadium is going 0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.400 to be so sick I cannot wait. 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.760 Should we just sleep at Oxdenal Hall? So we'll be 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:34.280 there Sunday evening. Yeah, and so for our live event 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.959 come by, by the way, we'll have giveaways.

It's like 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:50.840 it's the full Seahawks energy. Something batshit crazy is gonna 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.920 happen primetime game in Seattle on a Monday night. I 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.200 mean something, something's just gonna go off the Rails. Drew 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.640 Lock's gonna lead a comeback against the best team in 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.000 the league exactly. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.640 Again, I know we're a baseball podcast, but Monday is 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.520 gonna be sick. Cannot wait to be down by the 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:10.240 ballpark and or just down by the stadiums, I should say, and. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.760 Also free flow ball. Again, FIFA is a fucking corrupt 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.040 ass league. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.480 They can't even appeal. They can't even appeal his red card. No, 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:20.920 this is the wildest thing ever. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.520 Can't even appeal it. Sorry, not league. FIFA is a 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.920 corrupt ass organization. Shock this. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.200 This is like one of two of the biggest events 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.360 in the world at the Olympics, and they can't review 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.080 an ejection that was now know they can't review They 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.960 can't review a suspension that was absolutely that was absolutely 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:44.239 unintentional too, and it's because it's not written in FIFA's 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.440 bylaws like that. That just sounds crazy. This is I 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.480 guess this is what happens when you have a tournament 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.520 that happens every four years and there's no players union 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.640 to like advocate for something like this, Like MLB plays 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.880 every single year for the players have a union, they're 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.320 they're always playing in the same league and they make 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:09.600 sure they're looked after fully. But the all these players 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.960 for all these different countries, I mean no, there's no 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.199 one looking after them. It's just FIFA. Yeah, you want FIFA, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.240 you want to put your your trust in FIFA to 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.520 do the right thing. It's never gonna happen. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.319 Well, I mean, the World Cup would have been here sooner, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:26.319 except you know, they took a bunch of money from 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:28.080 the Sadi's to have in other places. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.200 So yeah, oh, you're. 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.280 Telling me FIFA is not a good standing, blue collar 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:33.040 group of people. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:33.880 Wow, that's crazy. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:37.199 No, no, nope, I hear there. Awards mean a lot 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:37.839 these days too. 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.920 Yeah, well, how sad. I'm really looking forward to Monday, though. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:43.720 It's gonna be really fun. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.200 I still feel pretty good. I feel like the home 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.360 field advantage is going to be incredible. I think it's 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.280 a really good chance if it hasn't already been, Like, 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:55.120 Monday is gonna showcase like how great of a sports 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:56.720 town this is. We see it with the Mariners all 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.280 the time, we see it with the Seahawks, the Sounders. 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.720 It's it's gonna like light up like a rocket ship. 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.480 If I'm a Mariner and I have any sort of 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:08.960 interest in soccer, I am bummed that I'm gonna spend 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.000 that that day. Like you know, they'll probably fly early, 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:17.080 but I'll spend that day in Florida, three thousand miles away. 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:20.880 Instead of going to the game. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:25.679 I know it is gonna be, like it's a bad 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.120 time for people out there that say Seattle's a dying 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.120 city in a bad sports town. Yet not after the 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.240 last time the World Cup game was here for the US, 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.640 and certainly not after on Monday. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.280 We have a really good conversation coming up with Avery Schenye. 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.679 But I did want to talk about Bryce Miller here 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.520 for a second because he has just been on another level. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.600 I mean, he just keeps doing it. This is the 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:51.520 Mariner's best starter right now, hands down, Like until he 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.440 proves otherwise, this is the best starter in the Mariner's 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.679 rotation in twenty twenty six. It's better than Wu, It's 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.720 better than Gilbert's better than Kirby, Like I've seen enough. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.040 Well, yeah, are sitting at one seven in early July. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.640 I think that's a pretty definitive statement. I know he's 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.560 made a few less starts than the other guys, but 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.080 hell yeah, this is your best pitcher. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.199 And by the way, get him to Philly. 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.840 They should, they should pull every string possible to get 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.080 him to Philly. But I don't even you know, I 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:23.680 think it would be really cool. I don't like he 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.480 doesn't have to go to Philly. What I'm most excited 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.600 about is how Bryce Miller is gonna be that much 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:34.360 fresher than everyone else in August. In September, well, a 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.600 reason the Mariner said, and the more we were at 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.520 the ballpark talking to people, the more this seemed true, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:40.400 is that the reason the Mariners went away from the 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.200 piggyback this past weekend was to get everyone more rest. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.040 I don't really feel like Bryce Miller needs more rest. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.640 He's gonna end up throwing what like one hundred and 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:52.800 he's gonna throw one hundred and forty innings this season. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.800 He's gonna have a lot more I think a lot 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.560 more runway to go at the end of the year. 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.800 Some people might mention that he didn't throw that many 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.880 innings last year, and that's fair. I guess we'll have 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.200 to see. But I feel pretty confident in what we're 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.040 going to see from Bryce Miller the rest of the season. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.960 He just looks as complete of a pitcher as you 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.840 possibly can get. I mean, over his last four start 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.680 style he struck out thirty three batters and watched none. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.640 He's the first pitcher in Mariner's history of four consecutive 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.120 starts of seven strikeouts and zero walks. He's doing things 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.680 Brian wu didn't even do last year for Logan Gilbert 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.800 the year before. It's just outstanding. 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:31.760 I mean it's funny, like you look at Bryce's Savant page, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.880 and even in twenty twenty four when he had his 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.240 best season, there's a lot of underlying data with Bryce 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.760 that often won't favor him, and that isn't the case 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.320 at all this year. Right now, his Savant page looks 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.320 like what Paul Skeins of the Savant page would look like, 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.640 I guess, outside of the ground ball rate, because Bryce 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.360 isn't a guy that gets a ton of ground balls. 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:53.320 Everything else is just popping out at you like no other. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.800 I mean, he's striking batters out at a crazy raid. 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.520 He's throwing hard, I mean, he's not getting hit hard. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.360 Everything And then you look at just pitch by pitch, 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.920 and for a guy that just straight up attacks people 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:09.200 and does so with just conviction, the results show it. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.960 I mean, he's dominating with his four seam fastball and 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.800 that splitter that he developed a couple of years ago 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.080 has been deadly as ever. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.640 And the only reason he lost is no hitter today 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.480 is because the Mariners by the fifth inning had maybe 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.240 their worst defensive outfield out there in franchise history. 0:16:27.840 --> 0:16:31.200 Brandy Rose, Arena, Luke Rayley, Weston Wilson. 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.800 Honestly one of the literally I couldn't believe what I 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:36.160 was seeing out there. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.040 Well, dude, and he lost his perfect game because JP 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:44.840 botched another throw, which, by the way, had Bryce Miller 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:48.160 actually thrown a no hitter and only faced one batter 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.360 over the minimum for the game, and the one batter 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.000 extra was because of a JP Crawford e error. JP 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.320 Crawford would have owed Bryce Miller multiple steak dinners, like 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.240 multiple because that wasn't a play where he had to 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.440 dive and get up and then he airmails it trying 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.040 to rush the throw because he wants to beat the 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:07.760 runner to first. Oh no, that was another routine play, 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:11.600 right to JP Crawford who just sails a throw and 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:13.240 loses Bryce Miller's perfect game. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.520 It's it's right out of the Hanley Ramirez Clayton Kershaw playbook. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:18.080 Mm hmm. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.760 Yeah, it tells you all you need to know. When 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:23.840 Andre Smunios besides the walks making me nervous in the 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.240 ninth inning, there was that pop up in left center 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:31.320 field and Rayley and Randy are converging on it. Yeah, 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.680 you know the you know the TikTok trendlyle the saxophones 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:38.760 getting louder. Mm hmm, Yeah, saxophones are getting loud as 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:44.399 fuck when that ball was in the air. What a team. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.480 That was a tough defensive group to have out there. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.040 I will give credit. I will give Julio some credit. 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.920 By the way, the defensive metrics aren't all the way 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:58.040 back to where we'd usually see Julio's defensive metrics, but 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:01.000 if you extrapolated over the last month or so, he 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.240 is back to playing pretty Julio Rodriguez quality defense, which 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:05.520 is pretty nice to see. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:09.840 And very much needed. Speaking of him, it's a bummer 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:13.600 he's out that. That has been one of the unluckiest 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.960 things I've seen. The ball just so happened to squarely 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.199 hit him in the back of the noggin, and I 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.159 guess he seemed dizzy enough where he had to come 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.959 out of the game. And then two other Mariners batters 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:28.520 got hit, which left them a little shaken up. It's funny. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.720 I didn't hear anyone on the Angel side talking about 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.399 hit by pitches this time. I didn't hear Trout, didn't 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:38.680 hear Ty Buttery. I didn't hear anyone online. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:43.040 Dude, Ty Butchery made his account private. I guess Mariners 0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.600 fans cooked him so hard from the last time, but 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:47.760 now he got scared it, can't handle the heat and 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:48.840 made his account private. 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:52.480 Wow, buddy, it's like it's almost like it's almost like 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:53.120 you're soft. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.520 It's funny how it always comes around to the fact 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.520 it's really the other team who's instigating all this shit, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.760 and it's the Mariners. It's always the Astros and it's 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.440 always the Angels, well every single time. 0:19:05.520 --> 0:19:09.320 Well, sometimes Naylor instigates things, but other than him, Yeah. 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:09.520 But he doesn't. 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.840 He doesn't throw at guys. No, No, the Mariners never 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:15.600 throw at guys. Do other people, Yes? 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.240 But also has Naylor ever done anything dirty like he trolls, 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:20.920 has he ever been like dirty? 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:24.080 I don't know if people are trying to argue that 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.520 throwing his sliding mitt was dirty. 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:27.960 I was just like and I'm like. 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.479 Come on, I didn't think that was that dirty. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:35.720 No again, it's it's a sliding mitt, and it's not 0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:37.040 like he chucked it hard. 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.159
