Speaker 1: That's how we start a show. Krat's good to see you.

00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: some people warned us about.

15
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 5: That, isn't that. I'm fine at home. I don't want to.

16
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 5: I don't want to hang out on the golf course

17
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 5: with a bunch of ex celebrity professional athletes and AJ.

18
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: You got too much sun in the last few weeks.

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: You were down the shore, down the shore for two weeks.

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: So we're just giving you a break inside and the

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: air conditioning real quick before we start, because we're not

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna have time for this. But maybe we'll get him

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: on next week. You know who player of the Week

24
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: was in the American.

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: League, Kyraw.

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: Actually, no, we're gonna talk about him later. Then he

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: passed Quentinosa last week.

28
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: I'll see him on Saturday, so I'll make sure that

29
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 3: he comes on.

30
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, te him. We said hellout last week. Six homers

31
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: in seven games. That's good.

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

33
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: There's apparently a whole storyline with pass Quentino rumored. I

34
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: haven't maybe there's articles about it. I haven't heard him

35
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: on the record speak specifically to this, but we'll ask

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 1: him about it. Where he was working on his swing

37
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: speed and then his swing was getting a little his

38
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: timing was off because he was too early. Then he

39
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: tried to slow the swing speed down and then that worked.

40
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 4: But past Quentino, he's always been able to hit right

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: ever since he was probably so he never had a

42
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: prop that speed. So why are we now telling a

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 4: guy he needs to swing faster when he's hitting the ball.

44
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 3: Fine, he was.

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: I don't know how many homers he hit last year,

46
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: but it was a fairly decent amount of homers he

47
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: hit last year. Was in it at least in the twenties,

48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: wasn't it.

49
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I believe so. Plus the Ribbies I mean the overall

50
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: numbers were I don't know what This year is great.

51
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, now he's back on track. Is seven ninety

52
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: eight ops, one twenty ops plus last year was one fourteen.

53
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: So this is a jump up, jump up from last week,

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: last year nineteen twenty eight.

55
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's doing fine.

56
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: Twenty eight homers. But he did nothing for a couple months,

57
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: and then he's been one of the best hitters in

58
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: baseball for the last couple months.

59
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: Stick with what you're doing, kid, Yeah.

60
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,239
Speaker 1: It's working. So we'll try and get him pretty soon.

61
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: But let's talk about the other team in the state

62
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: of Missouri charge time. All right, guys, I'm gonna let

63
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: you run with this. We're talking about a catcher and

64
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras who lost his cool, got kicked out of

65
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: the ball game last night and ended up getting so

66
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: heated that he tossed his bat or chucked it, depending

67
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: on how you look at things. Towards the ump, ended

68
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: up hitting his hitting coach Brent Brown. He's like, I

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: want you to hit, not that way. And then he

70
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: also went into the dugout tossed the gum.

71
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: I was not gonna tight you. There's a major difference whatever. Anyway,

72
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: it's not whatever, that's a huge difference.

73
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: My main question is is he okay? Because this is

74
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: a freak out that looked like he was possessed and

75
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna get some trouble here.

76
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 4: Here's my question. The pitch was a strike. First of all,

77
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: Let's let's just say it wasn't even really borderline. It

78
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: was a pretty solid strike. And what Wilson said was

79
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 4: I said, you need to call it both ways. For us,

80
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: he had to have said more than that, I'm sorry,

81
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: like that, that's not an auto toss there, and he's

82
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: not a catcher anymore so once he he's fighting for

83
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: his pictures, which I like. But man, but then the

84
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: question Cratsy is why is he throwing the bat at all? Like,

85
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 4: even if he's throwing it at the umpire and Brent

86
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: Brown's face got in the way of it, why are

87
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: we throwing the bat at all?

88
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Like?

89
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 4: What has there ever been a point where you're like,

90
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna chuck my bat at the umpire? Like, unless

91
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: you're Delman Young, right, I don't remember anybody ever throwing

92
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: their bat at an umpire.

93
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: Just a new trend? Is this a new trend?

94
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: Though with Roblade throwing his bat at the picture. Now

95
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 4: Control's thone it at the umpire.

96
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: It like many trends. I would like that to stop,

97
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 5: if it's a trend. Delman Young threw it at the umpire.

98
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: He was a replacement umpire. Doesn't mean he should have

99
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 5: done it, but no, I've never wanted to throw my

100
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 5: bat at somebody. I've you know, I've seen the take

101
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: your your jersey off on the field, lay your bat

102
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 5: down at the plate and be like, well, hey you

103
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 5: you swing. You know you're taking the bat out of

104
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 5: my hands kind of thing. But he freaked out. Sometimes

105
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 5: I wonder like, oh, you know, wait till you get

106
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: in my way kind of thing. I'm glad Ali Marmle

107
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: held him back there. I don't know what he would

108
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: have done. I would have loved have known what the

109
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: umpire said, but we'll never know.

110
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the thing. Will Macntreres, when he gets

111
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: into issues, will lay out what happened afterward Home played

112
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: umpire Derek Thomas was going back and forth with him

113
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, so I'm like, oh, maybe he said

114
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: something that really got him, like something personal from what

115
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: I saw from postgame quotes, nothing there. Wilson would tell

116
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: you if he said something that was completely out of

117
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: line or a personal attack. It seemed like he just

118
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: was pissed at a called strike. That was a called strike.

119
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: It was a strike, and then was pissed that he

120
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: got tossed from the game. I'm like, Okay, you can't

121
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: do that.

122
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: No, you can't, you can't.

123
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 4: You can't go that postal like you're going postal on

124
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: a pitch that was a good pitch.

125
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I guess this is.

126
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: I mean, but listen, Wilson Contrerez has been a good player,

127
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: but there's been moments like this, right Kratz where he's

128
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: kind of just lost. We've all lost our cool as

129
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 4: players before, but man, this one was just this was

130
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: And then I want to know what Bran Brown said,

131
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: because he's the one that took the back to the face.

132
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: What was your intent there? You went? I mean, when

133
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: he threw it like this, yeah, but still like it

134
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: wasn't like it doesn't like a little toss in the air.

135
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 4: Still threw it back toward And if you watch the replay,

136
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: Bran Brown is here and the umpire's behind him, so

137
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 4: he was throwing it at the umpire.

138
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: Yes, he's gonna get a lengthy one for this one.

139
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Brown's not in the way, Kratz, And we're showing it

140
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: again right now. If you're listening to the pot obviously

141
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: you should check this out. Kratz. What if Bran Brown

142
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: is not in the way and that thing hits the

143
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: yump even if it's lightly hitting him in the chest

144
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: or the face. I mean, you threw a bat at

145
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: an umpire? Is that not twenty thirty game suspension?

146
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 5: I mean, well, then, why is Victor Roblace only ten?

147
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 5: Why is Victor ro Blake pitcher? Umpires are umpires are

148
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 5: better than pictures, and Victor Roblace has had some serious intent.

149
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 5: Wilson's was it wasn't. It wasn't like a crazy toss

150
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 5: at the at the umpire. But so it's a different standard, Yes.

151
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: Different standards. Yes, Yes, I don't know if you're saying

152
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: it to us.

153
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: I'm saying it to both. It's a different standard because

154
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 4: they put umpires. No, I did have to say yes

155
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 4: on the phone call. And also I say yes to

156
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 4: the fact that, yes, there is a different standard because

157
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 4: MLB wants the umpires to be held at a different

158
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: level than something else. They need to be respected, and

159
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: that's what MLB does. But my question is I saw

160
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 4: Victor Robos playing. He must be appealing his ten games suspension.

161
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, I know, I know.

162
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: What are they gonna be like, Hey, you didn't really

163
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: mean to throw it that hard at the picture, so

164
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 4: you're only gonna get nine games.

165
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 5: It might be eight, he might get eight.

166
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: You know how the the MLB should have gone like

167
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: twenty and then said, oh you're worse are You'll get ten?

168
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: Right?

169
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 4: Because if they knock it down, that's a dangerous precedent

170
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: to stuff for throwing a back dude to be like

171
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 4: I need a ten day break. I'll chuck my bat

172
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 4: for pay for ten days on my hamm. He's a

173
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: little sore. I don't know.

174
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Delman Young threw a bat he got fifty and got

175
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: fifty games in the minor leagues. I'm pulling up the

176
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: clip right now. I mean, at some point we can

177
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: show it Toty Miller catching too fifty games. Yeah, I

178
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: didn't hear anything or we didn't see anything with bat

179
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: chucking for a long time.

180
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 4: And was the last guy I can remember that through

181
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: his bat at somebody remember after the whole Donaldson thing.

182
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: Well, he kind of brute tossed it towards third, right, Yeah,

183
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: and that what it was.

184
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, he tried to throw the picture because they were

185
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: they were throwing at him, and I think he just

186
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 5: held onto it too long. But that'd be a that'd

187
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: be a many question.

188
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Okay, So how many games if your commissioner and.

189
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: He's got to get at least ten?

190
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: This is what the commissioner role was really made for.

191
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: Back in the day. They were like, we need to

192
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: settle things like this. It wasn't always you know, the

193
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: boss and the minion for the owners. It was hey,

194
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: let's make sure that this game is played correctly and

195
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: that major issues don't occur, and one person is able

196
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: to make a decision like this that knows the game.

197
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: Really well, what should the commissioner do.

198
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: It's got to be ten. At least, it's got to

199
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 4: be ten. You just set the precedent for throwing about

200
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 4: at ten. This has got to be tenka, right, it

201
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: got at least you know I'm saying it's yeah, well,

202
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 4: at least that that was a given part of.

203
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: They usually protect the yumps. I actually think they protect

204
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: them more than the players. Yes, that is a different story.

205
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: But you know, Kratz, if he was pissed at the

206
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: picture and when I after him and got into a fight,

207
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: it's different from if he's going after the ump trying

208
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: to make physical contact.

209
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: I agree, but they're kind of putting that in the

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: realm of it's in the game throwing a bat Victor

211
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 5: ro Blas, Throwing a bat at a pitcher, to me,

212
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 5: is the same as throwing a bat at an umpire.

213
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: Like Victor ro Blas was more malicious. I think they're

214
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: gonna get the same I think he'll get ten games,

215
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 5: but I think the malicious intent of roe Blase was

216
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: was definitely there.

217
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: Okay, and you know, the season's done for the Cardinals

218
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: and all that.

219
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 4: For the most part, the smallest, smallest crowd they've ever had. Yeah,

220
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: a new Bush last night under twenty thousand, first time ever.

221
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: Seventeen thousand paid, which means it was less than that.

222
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

223
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: Don't worry. In five years they'll have the next version

224
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: of Roman Anthony. Who else, what do you mean him

225
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,240

262
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: Hey, we're back on let's read this tweek. Ron Washington

263
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: said it was a quadruple bypass. That's why he's out

264
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. We learned that a

265
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: couple months ago. But he'll be fully medically cleared in December,

266
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: and he wants to keep managing. So he said he's

267
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 1: eating healthier and he quit smoking.

268
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 5: No way.

269
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: Was what's hard?

270
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 3: What is wash gonna do all game?

271
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: Chew gum?

272
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know. I love washed, Wash get better.

273
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: The game is better when you're involved in it.

274
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: That's it.

275
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: Where are the angel is going to be? Though? It crats?

276
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the factor too, same place, but like

277
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: they're moving, is moving invited back?

278
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: He was on a two year contract, so his contracts up.

279
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: I think his contracts up, and I mean paramination. I

280
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: think does a nice job given the circumstances. But really

281
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: then he doesn't do a nice job because the team's

282
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: not good. So I know it's not his his decision

283
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: on a lot of things, but that doesn't mean that

284
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: the owner won't say and start again. Well, I love wash,

285
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: we're thinking about him. I'm just in all seriousness, I'm

286
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: I guess he's definitely gonna be managing the Angels. Prediction crats.

287
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 4: They'll use the yes well if he's not under contract,

288
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: they'll use the health excuse. And who's the manager now.

289
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Ray Montgomery? I don't think. I don't think them either,

290
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: But fuck fuck.

291
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 5: Okay, they're gonna get one more scoff with this young core. Okay,

292
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 5: that's what he said.

293
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: That's what he said. Did you guys see this Royce

294
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: Lewis story from the weekend. I wanted to make sure

295
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: we had time for this. So Royce Lewis has really

296
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: struggled Since August first of last year. He's been one

297
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: of the worst hitters in baseball.

298
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: But he doesn't go into slumps.

299
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 4: I remember he said that, Remember that one of the worst

300
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 4: I don't remember he said that.

301
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: It was a confident quote. It was a really nice kid.

302
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 4: This is why baseball players are really good at complaining

303
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: and not saying a lot of stuff, because they don't

304
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 4: want when they're going good to go away, and then

305
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 4: they know as soon as anything goes wrong, then people

306
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 4: bring up quotes from the past. So I had no

307
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 4: problem with him saying it. I love the confidence, but

308
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 4: at the same time, now shows like you Scott, people

309
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: like you were gonna bring it up.

310
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: Now I didn't bring that up. You brought that up.

311
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm bringing up to fresh stuff.

312
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: You have to tape.

313
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: It's worth listening to. It's He said he feels like

314
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: he's kind of on an island and trying to figure

315
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: things out on his own right now. He hasn't felt

316
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: comfortable all year, and then gets into stats and how

317
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: changing things could affect arbitration. He said, it's also hard

318
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: to make a full in season adjustment because you can

319
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: try that in those thirty games or at bats of

320
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: trial go towards your stats. Do you really want to

321
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: sacrifice that and if it doesn't work, then you go

322
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: back to what you were doing before. It's always hard.

323
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: I know Michael Harris just did a significant change. Being

324
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: under contract probably helps because he knows what he's making

325
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: that year and the year after. For someone like me,

326
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm fighting to take care of myself and my family.

327
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to put any of those stats in jeopardy.

328
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do what's best as fast as possible,

329
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: but feeling like I've been on an island, it's kind

330
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: of tough. Also, I just want to note that it's

331
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: not like he's done nothing. He has been working with

332
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: the crew on slowing down his hands, adding length back

333
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: to his swing, which is actually a combo we had

334
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: earlier in the show. But take all of that and

335
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: tell me how we should perceive it and how teammates

336
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: and even media are perceiving what he said.

337
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: He's being honest and we want people that are honest,

338
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: and he's being honest because this is what remember I

339
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 4: talked about this last week.

340
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: This is how.

341
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 4: Players are looking at a Players that are more statistical driven,

342
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 4: whether it's through their agents or through being just smarter

343
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 4: about baseball, and they know more about this and we've

344
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: learned more about arbitration and what teams look for and

345
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 4: what they want and how you make money. And so

346
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: he's saying, I'm not willing to give up those thirty

347
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 4: at bats because it might cost me down the road.

348
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 4: It's a bad look, but I can't fault them. I

349
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 4: can't fault him for saying this.

350
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: He's being honest. We want everyone to be honest. He's

351
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: being honest.

352
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 4: It's a weird look because we've never really heard anybody

353
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: say it like this before. So I think that's why

354
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 4: people are saying, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's he saying. But

355
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 4: at the same time, if those thirty at bats help

356
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: you for the next five years of your career, those

357
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: thirty of bats are worth it. So it's just it's

358
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: a strange thing because you've never heard anybody.

359
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 3: Say it like this.

360
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 5: Is he wrong?

361
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: I said, he's not wrong.

362
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I'm agreeing with you, like he's he's not wrong.

363
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 5: Like this is something that every player has to deal with.

364
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 5: Nobody ever says, hey, you know what you need to

365
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: make an out so that the you know, so that

366
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 5: you can get better. No, during the times that you're

367
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 5: making changes, there is a learning curve. Sometimes you make

368
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 5: a change, and it's usually a change is that stick

369
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 5: and you get it bang right away. Sometimes you don't,

370
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: and he probably, I'm going to go ahead and guess

371
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: never until about a year and a half ago, had

372
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: gone through a slump. That's why you say things like

373
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 5: you said, he's never gone through struggles. You never hit.

374
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 5: A time to struggle at the big leies is a

375
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 5: tough time to do it. The part for me where

376
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 5: he added in like, well, a guy like Michael Harris

377
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 5: he has he has stability, He has the ability to

378
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 5: make changes part way through a season because you know,

379
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 5: his contract isn't in limbo. That's the reality. That's ninety

380
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 5: five percent of people in big league baseball. You do

381
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 5: not get a guaranteed contract like Michael Harris at the time.

382
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 5: Michael Harris got it when you're still learning to play

383
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 5: in the big leagues. Michael Harris made the change. He

384
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 5: knows he's not a finished product. He wanted to do better.

385
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 5: Everybody goes through this. So for him to be like, well,

386
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 5: you know, maybe it was a shot at the Twins

387
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: organization for not extending him. Maybe it was frustration from

388
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 5: him he's not doing well, so those numbers he's taking

389
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 5: to arbitration aren't going to be that great because one

390
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 5: of the biggest numbers in arbitration is staying on the

391
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 5: field and he hasn't been able to do that. And

392
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: when he does do it, I think his numbers are

393
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 5: going to go up and he's going to start to

394
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 5: hit more home runs and RBIs and all the good things.

395
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: There are two hundred and two hitters with at least

396
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty played appearance since its late appearances

397
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: since August first of last year. Royce Lewis ranks one

398
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: to eighty ninth and average eighty fifth in ops, so

399
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: he's towards the bottom of Aaron Gleeman was very critical.

400
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: He's been on our show frequently covering the twins. He said,

401
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: here's the thing, it was hasn't worked at all, So

402
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: he said, got some can't blame him for looking out

403
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: for himself. Replies to this, which isn't surprising.

404
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 4: No, but it worked before that for him. Yeah, he remember,

405
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: he was like the best. Yeah, this guy just get

406
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 4: on the field. He's like the best player in the game.

407
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: But this is why sometimes fans and our show will

408
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: be like, oh, lock him up. That's an extension guy,

409
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: though I don't remember us saying it's specifically about him

410
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: because of the injuries and the twins, and many teams

411
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: would have a reply of wait and see, you're allowed

412
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: to do that. You have a player under team control

413
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: for six seven years. Yes, you're you have the right

414
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: as a team part of the collective bargaining agreement to

415
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: let a player go year to year and make sure

416
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: that he is worthy of a long term deals. Like

417
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: krat said, most guys don't get the extension, and it

418
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: doesn't extension.

419
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 3: Very few guys that get an extension.

420
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 4: That's why when they're guys are extended like a basaioh,

421
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: like a Roman Anthony, like a Christian Campbell. That's why

422
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: we talk about it so much, because it doesn't happen

423
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: for everybody.

424
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: They do risk analysis. Also a lot of this factors

425
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: on age. Why, because the younger you are in free agency,

426
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: the more you get paid. It is that simple. They

427
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: work very strictly every front office on an agent curve Kratz.

428
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: So it's a very different conversation when you're talking about

429
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony or Samuel Bissio versus Royce Lewis who. I

430
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: don't remember what his rookie season was, but it was

431
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: probably twenty three or something like that. And even that

432
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: little difference of two years makes a huge difference in

433
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: free agency, makes.

434
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 5: A huge difference. Is twenty twenty two he was twenty

435
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 5: three years old, It makes a huge difference. Everybody wants

436
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 5: an extension when I was thirty six. I wanted an

437
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 5: extension when I was thirty Like, everybody wants that stability,

438
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 5: but you have to be able to play through that

439
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: instability of I don't know if I'm going to stay

440
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 5: in the big leagues or I don't know if this

441
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 5: swing change is going to make me an All star

442
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 5: or just kind of a average player in the big leagues.

443
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 5: Those are decisions you have to make as a player,

444
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 5: and that can be the selfish part of the game.

445
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 5: It's a team game played by individuals.

446
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: How would teams or teammates take this? Do they care?

447
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: Not really.

448
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 4: There'll be a guy or two that'll say something, But

449
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: other than that, not really, because guys know that he's right.

450
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: On a level, there's guys that know.

451
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: Again, it goes back to what I said last week

452
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: when I said, guys don't want to do this or

453
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 4: that because they know, because guys are more educated now

454
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 4: is what to get some paid. And they were raised

455
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 4: on this, They were raised on analytics. They were raised

456
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 4: on these things. And agents are in their ear all

457
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 4: the time saying, hey, you got to do this better.

458
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 4: How many times have I mean, I think it was

459
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 4: Francisco Lindor or somebody. I don't know if it was him,

460
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 4: so I could be wrong here that said I need

461
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: to improve my defense or no, it's Korea, Korea, remember

462
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 4: the one years like, oh, I need to reprove my

463
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 4: range factors so I can make more money. So you

464
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: just went out and tried to improve his range defensively

465
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 4: because that was the way he was told he'd make

466
00:20:59,600 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: more money.

467
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: A lot of guys have actually done that. Outfielders, guys

468
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: know this stuff decade now. Have moved back because the

469
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: defensive metrics were favoring you if you moved back right,

470
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: telling you to cover more guys behind.

471
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 4: Guys now know the answers to the to the puzzle.

472
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: The puzzle is now kind of solvable, right, It's like

473
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: the rivers cub the guys can go. It's kind of

474
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 4: solvable now because there's so many years of data that

475
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 4: they can say, all right, if you do this, if

476
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: you do this, it gets you paid more.

477
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: And guys now know that.

478
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: Agents now know that, so they tell their guys, hey,

479
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 4: this offseason, you're going into your first RB er. If

480
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 4: you really do this and improve this, you'll make a

481
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: million or two. More guys are like, okay, I gotta

482
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 4: do that right, oh, because listen, I know this. I

483
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 4: had hitting coaches come up to me and say, all right,

484
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: we're gonna give up in a bad or two or

485
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: three because I need you to do this. If you

486
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: take it at bad and you say I'm gonna hit

487
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 4: a ground ball to short. As a left handed hitter,

488
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: that means I'm inside the ball on top hit a

489
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: ground ball to short. Now, sometimes you'd actually get a hit.

490
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 4: You'd hit like a missile somewhere because you're just thinking

491
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 4: about like all right, get in out of it, hit

492
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 4: down on it, boom, stay through it. And then and

493
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 4: then it was like oh it clicks again, and you're

494
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: like oho, everyone has a key, right, So whatever that

495
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 4: key is for Royce Lewis, maybe he hasn't found it

496
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 4: for a while, so he's searching, but he also doesn't

497
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 4: want to give up. But it could be one at

498
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 4: back cratch, you know, it could be one at beat.

499
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: It didn't have to be thirty at bats. Someone could

500
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 4: tell you something. And I used to tell the hitting

501
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 4: coaches all the time, just tell me something, dude. If

502
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: I'm struggling, just make some up because it gets my

503
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 4: mind thinking about something else and what I was thinking about. Oh,

504
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: you're pulling your head stepping in the bucket, and then

505
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 4: I'm thinking about my feet instead of my swing and.

506
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: Boom, oh wow, look at that work. You're a genius coach.

507
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 5: Yep. Hitting coaches are flot or psychologists. That's it. They're

508
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 5: they're getting you to be in a right mindset so

509
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: that when you do get a hit. Ooh, that's what worked.

510
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: Everybody's story is different. Obviously I have more minor league

511
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 5: stories than AJ does, but he struggled with the same

512
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 5: things in the big leagues. Oh, I got to do

513
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 5: this to try to keep from pulling off. In two thousand,

514
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: I won Player of the Month for the league in April.

515
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 5: Now it's freaking freezing in New Hampshire. You're in Double A.

516
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: You're like, whoa, I'm twenty four years old. This is awesome.

517
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 5: Double A only one step away from the big leagues.

518
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: Triple A is the only thing I'm coming for. And

519
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 5: the hitting coach told me, congratulations, if you want to

520
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,239
Speaker 5: hit in the big leagues, it'll never work. And I

521
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 5: was like, what will never work? It's like you're swinging,

522
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 5: it'll never work. And I'm like, okay, fine, and I

523
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: listened to him. I ended up hitting two h five

524
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 5: that year in Double A, and I was like, crap,

525
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 5: I shouldn't have listened. But it was a learning moment

526
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 5: for me. It was learning in the sense that I

527
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: have to do what I have to do to be

528
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 5: able to have success. And that can sound selfish or

529
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 5: because the fact that I ended up playing Chiles forty

530
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 5: maybe it was the smart thing to do.

531
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: Hmm.

532
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 4: It's your career, though, it's every player. This is the

533
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 4: hardest thing for players to learn. It's your career.

534
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: But the argument from a tweet and many others is

535
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: you are not an average hitter right now at a

536
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: year period where you're one of the worst in baseball.

537
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 4: It's you try your career. Your He's probably tried a

538
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 4: million different things that we don't know about.

539
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: That's yeah, yeah, And they did list some things here.

540
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 4: Here's the thing. It's your career at the end of

541
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: the day. Ultimately, you have to make a decision. Every coach,

542
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: every especially in the minor leagues, wants to put their

543
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: stamp on you and say, oh I helped I helped

544
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: Scott Braun.

545
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: Be a better hitter.

546
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 4: Oh I helped Aircrafts be a better hitter. Oh I

547
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 4: help this guy I helped. Look at me how much

548
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 4: I helped them? Right, But there are also things where

549
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: guys tell you stuff and you know it doesn't it's

550
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 4: not going to work for you, and you just go yeah, yeah, yeah,

551
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: oh yeah, actually I tried this, and you just do.

552
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: The same thing.

553
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: You're like, yeah that worked, dude, that was awesome, thank you. Right,

554
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: not saying that's right or wrong, but at the end

555
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 4: of the day, it's your career and you have to

556
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: make those decisions on a personal level. And there are

557
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 4: times Listen, I have plenty of coaches that were like, hey,

558
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 4: try this, try hitting right hand, to try being a pitcher,

559
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: try playing the outfield. I'm like, no, no, that's gonna

560
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 4: work for me.

561
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

562
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: The person that's going to care most about you is you.

563
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 4: You, yep, and listen, you make mistakes. Sometimes there are

564
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 4: things that I look back, I said, man if I

565
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 4: would have tried that or that, But at the end

566
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 4: of the day, it's on you and it's your career

567
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 4: and it's your decision. Sing with an agent, we talk

568
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 4: about this when the extensions and the agents right the

569
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 4: agent were At the end of the day, agents work

570
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 4: for the players, although sometimes agents think that the player

571
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 4: worked for them.

572
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: But the if the if the team comes to you.

573
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 4: And you want us, and you're happy with the extension

574
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 4: or you're happy with the thing, then take it, because

575
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it's not about the agent,

576
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 4: it's about you. Any of the agent says you can

577
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 4: make more, you know what, I'm happy with whatever I

578
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 4: got and whatever. If I love money on the table,

579
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 4: oh well, I made the decision for me and my family,

580
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: not for my agent and his family.

581
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 5: So yep, ask Matt Dominga. Is that people haven't heard of,

582
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 5: don't remember them.

583
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: Some But what happened, Oh, because he turned down.

584
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 5: Turned down extensions. Yeah, when the astros were giving out

585
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 5: all those small extensions, he turned one down. Never made

586
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 5: that much money. He regrets it because at the time

587
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 5: he was like I thought I could make more. I

588
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 5: think he had just hit twenty homers in the big

589
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 5: leagues in a shortened season. Twenty one homers. Yeah, twenty

590
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 5: one homers. He's like, I can do that for late

591
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 5: the next three years. That'll be easy. It doesn't always

592
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 5: work out. It is your career. Nobody's stopping games because

593
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 5: somebody's not doing well. You're gonna play again. Every team's

594
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 5: going to play one hundred and sixty two the next year.

595
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: One other quote, Sorry, I'm getting wrecked by ants right now.

596
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: Did you guys see Mookie Betts on the bite back

597
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: about right field.

598
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 3: Uh no, what he says is not happening.

599
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, which is fine. But he said people are

600
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: making stuff up. Somebody's in there trying to be the

601
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: first to report a story of their own. It's completely false.

602
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: I go in there to talk with Dave Roberts. Me

603
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: and Doc have this mentor of father son relationship. I

604
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 1: talked to him all the time about my swinging and

605
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: how it's coming along, and this and that and the other.

606
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: So somebody in there was just kind of guessing and

607
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: making stuff up. So whoever made that up, you need

608
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: to be careful with what you're reporting. I was in

609
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: there talking about my swing and how it's coming along.

610
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with going back to right field.

611
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: There was even more there that got even juiced here. Yeah,

612
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: just saying like media watch it. Remember the meeting last

613
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: week between him. I remember the meeting Friedman.

614
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, we don't know what said.

615
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 4: I appreciate them not saying what was said in the meeting,

616
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 4: so Lukie can say whatever he wants. But if the

617
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 4: Dodgers are doing their due diligence, then they have to

618
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: ask Mookie about possibly doing that just to see if

619
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 4: it makes their team better than they probably came up.

620
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 3: But I don't know. We don't know that.

621
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 4: We weren't in the meeting, and that's fine. We weren't there.

622
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 4: Weren't there.

623
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 5: I have a hard time believing it's never discussed. We

624
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 5: weren't in the meeting. We don't know. Maybe it wasn't

625
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 5: discussed in that moment. But teams have algorithms that have

626
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 5: a value for every player on their twenty six man

627
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: roster and the guys on their forty man roster plugging

628
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 5: it in to play against a certain team. I have

629
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 5: a hard time believing in a game Miguel Rojas at

630
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 5: shortstop and Mookie Betts in right field and Ta Oscar

631
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 5: and left isn't a higher value through their algorithm than

632
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 5: the current lineup. But I don't know.

633
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: The other quote. I understand reporters have to do their job,

634
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: but you have to spread lives, you have to make

635
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: stuff up, especially because I'm a very open and honest person.

636
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: Just come talk to me and ask me. I don't

637
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: appreciate things being made up, but it kind of is

638
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: what it is, you know. Originally, the La Times reporter

639
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: who reported that there was a meeting, I don't think,

640
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: and that's what this story said actually listed what was

641
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: going on. Of course, he wasn't in the meeting. He

642
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: just said there was a meeting, and then it took

643
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: on a life of its own because people are like, Okay,

644
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: Ti Oscar just had a bad game, Mookie's talking to

645
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: some bosses. I think that it will at least come

646
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: up in the conversation. Not a crazy thought there. I

647
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: don't think it's that big of a deal. Also, this

648
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: is the fun part of sports. We should be discussing

649
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: that should he be in right field?

650
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 3: This is what happens.

651
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: This is no big deal. All good yea, and yes,

652
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: Mookie's really nice and he is for the most part,

653
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: one of the more open players in the game. But

654
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: for example, there was an incident this year, I think

655
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: with the Padres and Dodgers one of the series earlier

656
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: where there was bean ball, and he was like, yeah,

657
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: not talking about that. So we're not sitting down and

658
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: getting our tell all conversations from everyone. No, it's I

659
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: think sometimes we get to mid August, the season's long,

660
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: and it's the media's fault. Do you feel that way

661
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: sometimes where suddenly like this and I'm like, that's a stretch.

662
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 4: Whatever, listen, whatever the Mookie set up for himself, set

663
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 4: up for his guys, good teammate baseball media.

664
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I love our show. We're talking about

665
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: topics like this could be worse in the NFL. They're

666
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: talking about like a third or fourth bring quarterback and

667
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: all the rage right for most of the conversation that

668
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: I've seen over the past week, So I feel like

669
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: we have our head on straight a little more than most. OKAYKP,

670
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: this is your first arena club experience. We're going to

671
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: open a slab pack together. So first off, we're gonna

672
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: buy one of those twenty five dollars slab packs and

673
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: we get to see what is in the pack. There.

674
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: It is the Grail, which is the best card in

675
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: the pack and worth the most. There are some other

676
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: cards that we're chasing, and you can see the entire

677
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: lineup so that you know what you're in the running for.

678
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: There's the Yamamoto signed card. Now let's open up our

679
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: pack and see how we do. We have ourselves a

680
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: really cool graphic and then a show Heo Tani fifty

681
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: to fifty card from last year. What do you want

682
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: to do? Should we sell it right back to them

683
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: for sixteen or should we keep it?

684
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 5: You should give it to me, I'll keep.

685
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: Good answer, fine, I will give it to you. Since

686
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays din't ghetto time, you can get this

687
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty card instead. Use the code foul foul

688

691
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: at Arena club dot com slash foul.

692
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: What's up?

693
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: You see this average MLB four seem fastball VLO by season.

694
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: Look at Righty's they're at ninety five miles an hour.

695
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: That's the average. So if you're like, oh, I throw

696
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: ninety five, you're like, cool, you're an average big league

697
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: or average number.

698
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 4: Hi yeah, II yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay cool.

699
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: When Mark Mulder comes on next, I want you to

700
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: listen to what he says.

701
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk villa, and.

702
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he talks. He gets into some some VLO. Talk

703
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: about it.

704
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: Now, if you're lefty, you throw ninety two.

705
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 4: But I also watched Jason Alexander go out against the

706
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 4: Orioles and shove Nester Cortes shoved it up the Dodgers

707
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 4: for you know, for six innings with one hit, throwing

708
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 4: ninety one miles an hour. So like, it's not always

709
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 4: about the velo. Velo is great, Villa is wonderful, but

710
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: the easiest commodity to find in baseball right now velocity and.

711
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: Anyway, Kratz, I'd be like, hey, you're bringing our average

712
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: VLO down.

713
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 5: I love I love it that they went to throwing harder.

714
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 5: If everybody went to the Bronson Arroyo look from twenty

715
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 5: ten on, my career would have ended a real quick

716
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 5: But nobody knew how to teach everybody knows how to

717
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 5: teach Vlo, so that helped me out and hit a fastball.

718
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: There you go, and just points to where we're at

719
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: from a sport perspective on how hard guys are throwing

720
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: and why the arm injury epidemic continues. It's fun to

721
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: watch heat, though, I will say it's great, like when

722
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: we get to the playoffs, we're gonna be like, oh,

723
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: Duran Mason Miller. They come in the eighth and they

724
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: got him out of the gym. They went five outs.

725
00:32:52,160 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: It's entertaining out of the box scores. Let's go over

726
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: recent games the Mets and the Phillies this week, and

727
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: we have to go right to our reporter in Pennsylvania,

728
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: Aeric Kratz, for the result of that one. Kratz had

729
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: it go.

730
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 5: After the third inning. It went very heavily to the Mets,

731
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 5: and it may have been the last game that Jordan

732
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: Romano pitches for the Phillies. It definitely showed that the

733
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 5: Phillies are a team. If they're going to succeed in

734
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: the playoffs, they have to have everything line up exactly

735
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 5: right in the sense that their offense has to be

736
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 5: clicking early to be able to give it over to

737
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 5: the bullpen because they don't have they don't necessarily have

738
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 5: the bullpen that can keep you in like a two

739
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 5: run game. It's going to be an offensive team, I

740
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: think in the playoffs that gets great starting pitching and

741
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 5: your two pieces three pieces at the back of the bullpen.

742
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 5: It's not as deep as like a Padres team. But

743
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 5: last night got it got ugly. But Luis Terrenz filling

744
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 5: in for the Mets, filling in for Francisco Alvarez, who

745
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 5: supposedly I think is starting a rehab assignment. I mean,

746
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 5: what a night. He just he was clearly going to

747
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 5: right center field the entire night and ended up with

748
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: five stakes, big three run jack to put the game

749
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 5: out of out of control. It was. It was the

750
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 5: Luis nz game.

751
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, Biantos has been fired for the Mets for a

752
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: few days now. They got to Christopher Sanchez, he's the

753
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: top three cy young guy this year. Six runs, five

754
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: earned and after the ten unanswered runs from the Mets

755
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: and a big win. Or was it were they down

756
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: three to nothing the Mets, Yeah, thirteen unanswered Yeah, because

757
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: they won thirteen to three. Yeah, I will bring this

758
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: question up, and I know it's one game. Aj, Did

759
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: the Phillies do it enough or should they added? Should

760
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: they have added one more? They added to everybody wants. Yeah,

761
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: but Patres did. Over the last two years, they've had

762
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: like four closers. Yeah, it is helpful. It's over a

763
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: long period of time though, sure.

764
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 3: And I don't know.

765
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 4: I think Dobrowski wasn't counting on the Wheeler thing going down.

766
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 4: I think their bullpenny thought was set once they got

767
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 4: they're getting Alvarado back. Yes, he won't be available for

768
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 4: the playoffs, but Duran at the back end, some of

769
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 4: the other guys. Robertson's been great since he's come over.

770
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 4: So I don't know. It's one game. You guys are

771
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: overreacting just because Crats is a fan and he's mad.

772
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 4: Because it's one game doesn't mean Scott you should overreact

773
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 4: to one game too.

774
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 5: Why here's my non overreaction. The Phillies are have lost

775
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 5: eight of the last nine in City Field. Maybe the

776
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 5: Phillies don't want to see the Mets in the playoffs

777
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 5: to say.

778
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: They lost him last year.

779
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 4: They lost him last year and went over six last night,

780
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: and Lindor went over six last night, and they still

781
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: scored thirteen eight of.

782
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 5: The last nine in City Field is a it's a

783
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 5: problem for the Phillies any way.

784
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 4: Scott is just getting eaten up with bugs, by the way,

785
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 4: just getting eaten If you see him like and not

786
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 4: one is bugs, no one.

787
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 3: I know what.

788
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 4: I've had one bug on me. It was a love bug.

789
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 4: So because I'm full of love.

790
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:18,439
Speaker 5: Basically, you're You're Fasto Carmona, You're Fausto Carmona, and he's

791
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 5: Joba Chamberlain.

792
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm Roberto Hernandoz and a chance.

793
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: To attack me t shirts available at foul Territory shop

794
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: dot com.

795
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: It's because I eat gluten and dairy.

796
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: They don't like me, true Jordan Romano.

797
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 3: And by the way, can I just say, I know

798
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 3: so far off topic.

799
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: People are going to catch this clip later.

800
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 4: Don't care what, don't care what other people think whether

801
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 4: Scott said he's allergic to onions, okay, which I there's

802
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 4: also someone else here that's allergic to apples, carrots and

803
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 4: any vegetable, which is not a thing.

804
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: I mean is this doesn't believe in allergies.

805
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 3: I believe in allergies.

806
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: I don't believe it at the hospital. I don't believe it.

807
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: Like alerg you have an allergy, no said, nobody ever

808
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: has been allergic to an onion. Onion, You have an

809
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: allergy to a fruit or a vegetable. Aj, this is

810
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: all fake, don't sue us. AJ is going to go

811
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: to a hospital and bring everyone in and they're going

812
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: to test him one by one and see who lives

813
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: and who dies, just testing fruits and vegetables. Anyway, I don't.

814
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 4: I just I don't know, Chris, have you ever heard

815
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 4: of anybody being allergic to a carrot?

816
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 5: Carrots? No vegetables.

817
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: I'm not allergic to carrots, but we have someone who's

818
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: part of our team who's allergic to apples, and I

819
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: have heard of apples from others. If heat the seeds,

820
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,760
Speaker 1: you're probably in trouble, but not the apple. It's about

821
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: the stem.

822
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 3: I don't know anyway.

823
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Are the Phillies allergic to Jordan Romano for the rest

824
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: of the season? Should they cut him? He's got an

825
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: eight to two three e r A and forty two

826
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: and two thirds innings. It's August, almost September. Krats help

827
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: us out. Yeah, probably, it's almost September.

828
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the time.

829
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 5: I feel, I feel like it's time. I mean, I

830
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 5: never want to condone cutting somebody, but they've given him

831
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 5: over four innings. That is a crazy amount. And I

832
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 5: heard Topper talk the other day. Rob Thompson was talking

833
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 5: about it and he said, really lately, it's been a

834
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 5: lot of one pitch, unlucky mistakes, and then he makes

835
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,959
Speaker 5: one pitch that you know is left in the middle

836
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 5: of the plate. Yeah, that's what happens. He is not

837
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 5: he's getting behind in the count. He's throwing that slider

838
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 5: that used to be that gyro slider that was more

839
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 5: like a curveball, but spun like a slider, and it

840
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 5: has doesn't have the depth. So not only is it

841
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 5: starting off the plate and staying off the plate, but

842
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 5: then when it's on the plate, it's not breaking down

843
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 5: like it used to. And it's just it's okay, it's okay.

844
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 5: It doesn't mean his career is over. It just means,

845
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 5: you hope there's somebody in Triple A, maybe an Andrew

846
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 5: Paynter who can adjust as a you know, go from

847
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 5: starting and throwing a pen for these you know, if

848
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 5: they need somebody to step up. Jordan Romano was never

849
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 5: since May. He wasn't gonna be a piece for the

850
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 5: playoff roster. But you're still talking about trying to get

851
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 5: through these innings and it can't be Joe Ross every night.

852
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 4: Agreed, agreed. Might it might just be time. Maybe he

853
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 4: goes to the offseason and goes to a place and

854
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 4: figure some stuff out and comes back next year better

855
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 4: than never.

856
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 3: Who knows.

857
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: Phillies fans wanted Taiwan Walker gone, but he was on

858
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: a multi year contract Jordan Romano that has been very

859
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 1: valuable for That's my point. They wanted him off the

860
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: team and last year in June or something like that,

861
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: right difference, and they held on different different because he

862
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: was on a multi year Romanos.

863
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 5: Jordan Romano's eating one inning Tywan Walker, even on the

864
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 5: big contract. I think it's twenty five minute. I think

865
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 5: he got three year, seventy five. He's eating three innings

866
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 5: in a bad start, he's eating four innings. You need

867
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: to build your team with more than just five starters.

868
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 5: Some teams are running into that, and now they're down

869
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 5: to three. Phillies lost Nola for a majority of the year.

870
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 5: Now they lost Wheeler. Nola's back. You need to still

871
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 5: be able built by innings and Tyler Walker can give

872
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 5: you more innings. That's why I said, don't get rid

873
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 5: of him yet. Now Taiwan Walker's thrown himself into should

874
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 5: be in the mix to be on the playoff froster.

875
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: One more thing from this game, and again props to

876
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 1: the Mets offense. Great star for them, and they need

877
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: these games much more than the Phillies do, by the way,

878
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: because the Reds are right behind them. They had to

879
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: delay this game for nineteen minutes. There was it, nineteen

880
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: minutes whatever it was, it was double digit minutes, ten, fifteen,

881
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Alec Bohm pointing to the outfields to a

882
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: microphone there. It is clear microphone that's next to the

883
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: stands that he felt shouldn't be there. Turns out it's

884
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: been there for years.

885
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeap, Who is it?

886
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: Kratz on the post game for the Phillies, Ricky Batalico,

887
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: who always sounds off. Is that who it was that

888
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: that went after Bowman the field?

889
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 5: It was either Ricky or Michael Barkan.

890
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: I think it was Batalico. So whose side are you

891
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: on for this one? If there's something that's been there

892
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: for years, it's a parabolic mic that probably picks up

893
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: extra sound for something and it's in the batter's eye,

894
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: but all the way to the right near the stands.

895
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: Should the opposition be complaining about it?

896
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 5: Uh? Yes, because maybe they have a guy on their

897
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 5: team that his arm slot is perfectly right behind, right

898
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 5: in front of that parabolic mic as you said it, Like, yes,

899
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,840
Speaker 5: just they should say something about it, like it's a microphone,

900
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 5: Like I think it's something that should should be moved.

901
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: But uh, probably before you hit into a ground ball

902
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 5: double play. That's that's my.

903
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 3: Son, move it. Let me get this straight.

904
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 4: So the guy in the white T shirt that so

905
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 4: two foot to the left of that microphone is okay,

906
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 4: But that one little mic that's clear and you, I mean,

907
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 4: I guess you could see it. I don't know is

908
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 4: affecting the hitting.

909
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm just asking what if for the playoffs, if these

910
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 1: two teams meet up, they have everyone in the outfield

911
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: whear white shirts and then they flip them when the

912
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 1: Mets are.

913
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: Up home field advantage. Yeah, but I don't know.

914
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 4: There's a guy and two feet closer than me and

915
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 4: Scott Away that was in a white shirt that didn't

916
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 4: affect but the little circle mic.

917
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: So if a teammate and you're a more senior member

918
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: of the team at the time. Let's just hypothetical. This

919
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: complains about that. What would you say to the teammate.

920
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say that on the air.

921
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 5: I'll set it, I'll say it. I can't stand when

922
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 5: guys come back to the dugout and be like, I

923
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 5: can't I can't see that the sun is. So you

924
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 5: go up to the dug out and you're like, where's

925
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 5: the where's the sun at? Like I'm trying to I'm

926
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 5: trying to look like there's a lot of things that

927
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 5: can get in the way. But I don't know. I

928
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 5: don't know. It's part way through the game too. It's

929
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 5: been in City Field for years.

930
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 4: So what's his career numbers? That's the question. What's his

931
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: career numbers at City Field?

932
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: Oh, you think they're bad? And then he's like, I

933
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm maybe I don't know.

934
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 3: Maybe whoever he was facing he has bad numbers. Again,

935
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. I'm just looking up.

936
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: I don't know.

937
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: It was it was a weird.

938
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: Thing to complain about.

939
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why it was brought up.

940
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 3: I know.

941
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: Post game show it's like, I don't know if we're

942
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, that's taking a delay off a game

943
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: that's trying to speed up. It's one thing if it's

944
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: something new, right, Hey, we've put that out there. But

945
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,279

946
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: not the first time the Phillies have been there with that.

947
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,399

1003
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 5: no relevant to me, has no relevance. All of these

Speaker 1: Yeah, you got rid of the bugs. Kyle Riley fifty

1010
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: homers Operation MVP.

1011
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 3: You heard it. You heard it here first, I said,

1012
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 3: I've been saying it for a long time.

1013
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: Note that. Give me something else.

1014
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,719
Speaker 4: He's got the all time record for home He's chasing

1015
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 4: down Mickey Mano for the home most catch, and then

1016
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 4: he's gonna he's chasing down Mickey Mano for the all

1017
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 4: time homers for switch hitter. The biggest question is can

1018
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 4: he beat Judge? Can he get to sixty three? I

1019
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 4: mean you had to yesterday or two two days ago?

1020
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 4: One yesterday? He's feeling it. I don't know, but I'd

1021
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 4: love to see it. Absolutely big dumper.

1022
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:20,879
Speaker 1: That one went a long way.

1023
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 5: Kratz, you go, you go upstairs there, that's big time.

1024
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 5: There's some upper decks that are tough to get to.

1025
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 5: He went about eight rows up in the upper upper

1026
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 5: tank there. That was a bomb. And to me, it's

1027
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 5: really a matter of what number you think he's not

1028
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 5: gonna reach. Is he gonna catch Aaron Judge? He's gonna

1029
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 5: break Mickey Mantle's switch hitter record. I think he's gonna

1030
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 5: break the catching record. I think it was Hobby Lopez.

1031
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 5: We said it yesterday. And then you're gonna start getting

1032
00:47:55,920 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 5: into the Ken Griffy Junior. Will he beat the great

1033
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,479
Speaker 5: Ken Griffy Junior. He'll never go down as the great

1034
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 5: camp the great cal Raley, But why not compared to.

1035
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 3: The glove?

1036
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, home runs?

1037
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 4: I mean chance if he continues, I mean he's got

1038
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 4: a chance to be one of the all time great

1039
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,200
Speaker 4: long term deal, he got long term deal.

1040
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 3: The kid he.

1041
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:32,879
Speaker 5: Will be up there with Ken Griffy Junior. No way,

1042
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 5: he could have a Hall of Fame career. But can

1043
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 5: Griffy or The thing is everybody sees this is like

1044
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 5: a one year thing from cal Rawley in a sense

1045
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 5: that like, wow, he really burst on the scene. He

1046
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 5: has so many home run records through the first I

1047
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 5: don't know how many games of his career as a Mariner.

1048
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 5: You're talking about dudes that have hit a lot of

1049
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 5: home runs in Seattle's history, and he's been breaking those

1050
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 5: records coming up to this year and now he's got fifty.

1051
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 5: This year. He was the fastest too, I think eighty

1052
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 5: or ninety home runs. He was the fastest to one

1053
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,839
Speaker 5: hundred home runs. He was the first, you know, switch hit,

1054
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 5: or he's been doing this for a long time. The

1055
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 5: difference is now he's hitting it, doing it on a

1056
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 5: playoff team, and his batting average is over two fifty.

1057
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: I'll redo the quote because it was fun, and when

1058
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: you're this good all year, you want to try and

1059
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: switch it up. Yeah, don't just say yeah, it's going

1060
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:32,319
Speaker 1: well like He's often given us some fun quotes. We

1061
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 1: saw the Sarah Langs stat on most home runs in

1062
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 1: a season by a primary catcher. Almost there, yep, here's

1063
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: the quote. He said, it doesn't seem real. I mean,

1064
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: fifty home runs. It's kind of a crazy number to

1065
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: think of. I thought I was a cool player when

1066
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 1: I hit five home runs when I was young in

1067
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: high school or something. You hit five, you had all

1068
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: this power in the world. So it's just crazy, like, oh, hey.

1069
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 3: Good for him. But by the way, when we talk

1070
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 3: about five Dingers, when.

1071
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 4: We talk about like him versus Griffy, listen, we're not

1072
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 4: saying he's going to be better than Griffy. We're saying,

1073
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 4: is he's got a chance is one of the all

1074
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 4: time Mariner greats? If he keeps us up what he's doing.

1075
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 4: We're not saying he's gonna take place, because we don't

1076
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 4: want anybody saying, oh, they're saying cal Rale's.

1077
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 3: Gonna be better. No, no, he's not gonna be better than Ken

1078
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:15,919
Speaker 3: Griffy Junior.

1079
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 4: What we're saying is he's got a chance to go

1080
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,359
Speaker 4: down if he continues, just to go down as one

1081
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 4: of the Mariner all time greats.

1082
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: He signed up for the long term. I was doing

1083
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: this math the other day, Kratz. You know how front

1084
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: offices will try and put a number to how many

1085
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: wins you're worth your wins, So he's he's over seven.

1086
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: He's almost exact same as Judge. If you look at

1087
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:37,960
Speaker 1: fangrafts and some of the people who are looking at

1088
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: MVP are like, see now, I'm like, okay, even if

1089
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: he was six point eight and Judge was seven point two,

1090
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: you're allowed to vote for Kyle Riley over Judge. It's

1091
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: not most war for most for most valuable player. But anyway,

1092
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: I digress. If you think one win is worth seven

1093
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: million dollars, which is I think somewhat conservative, then he's

1094
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 1: a fifteen million dollar player this year.

1095
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, seven seven millions in all number. I think it's

1096
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 5: actually seven point six now is the last the last

1097
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 5: thing I read.

1098
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,799
Speaker 1: I've seen it all the way up to tennis. But

1099
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, let's go on the lowest end that

1100
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: I've seen seven.

1101
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 4: Seven, right either because the guys that's not true. So

1102
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 4: that's why, because it's not true.

1103
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: But this is what front offices.

1104
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 4: But you don't get paid off ten million dollars because

1105
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 4: there's a rookie kid out there, whoever it is, the

1106
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 4: rookie of the year, Paul Skeans is making league minimum

1107
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 4: or whatever it is, whatever going over that.

1108
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: But my point is that if it was a complete

1109
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: free market, one win, according to many front offices, is

1110
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: at least seven million dollars. So Kyle Roley, who just

1111
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: signed that what six year one hundred, is already hitting

1112
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: up half that contract worth the value in one season?

1113
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 5: Okay comment, Okay, whether we're arguing about.

1114
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 4: Because he's not worth because just because yeah, great, one

1115
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 4: win is worth it? Okay, So then why don't they

1116
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: do this at the next bargaining agreement. You just get

1117
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 4: paid off your war. I bet you the war numbers

1118
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 4: will change real quick. You get paid only off your war.

1119
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 4: So if you're a three war player and you're in

1120
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 4: your second year, you get thirty million dollars.

1121
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 1: I'm just going to do that would change. Yes, I'm

1122
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: going to say, now, don't give me that when.

1123
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:19,640
Speaker 4: War is worth this and that, because all teams don't.

1124
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 4: First of all, there's more than one example of war.

1125
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 4: So there's one F war, B war, C war, D war,

1126
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 4: E war. Who gives a crap war? Yeah, I mean listen,

1127
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 4: but teams don't pay off that. So don't give me

1128
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 4: that war is worth this much or this much. It's

1129
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,120
Speaker 4: not because it's not you know how he get paid.

1130
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question about Kyle Riley's production

1131
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 1: this year? If I could tell you, hey, you could

1132
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: find this production from this player, how much would you

1133
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: pay for him for one season on a contending team?

1134
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: What would his season be worth? And how much playoff value?

1135
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 3: One year deal? A one year deal, probably twenty five

1136
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 3: to thirty million for one year.

1137
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: That's it going into it because they don't know it's coming. No. No,

1138
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: if I'm saying, hey, you're gonna get the best catcher

1139
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: of I'm giving you the status in advance and say

1140
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: what does this worth to you? For one season. Isn't

1141
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: it worth fifty million bucks?

1142
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 4: They wouldn't pay that though, I know they wouldn't pay

1143
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 4: that vacuum.

1144
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: What is the season worth that?

1145
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 3: Then?

1146
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: Why can't we play this game? Because it's not a

1147
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: real game. It's not realistic. I can't have any fun here,

1148
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: Kratz No, because it's not realistic.

1149
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 3: It's not realistic.

1150
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 1: It is I'm no, no, no, no, don't it.

1151
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 5: Okay, it's realistic. It's realistic because if it were up

1152
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 5: to the owners, they would love one year contracts. Okay,

1153
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 5: if you're gonna pay guys one year contracts, you're gonna

1154
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 5: have to give out a sixty million dollar contract because

1155
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge will be worth sixty million dollars after this year.

1156
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,240
Speaker 5: Cal Raley when he finishes this season, in their mind,

1157
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 5: will be worth sixty million dollars this year. So it's

1158
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:50,240
Speaker 5: a realistic question that Scott put out there, because teams

1159
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,520
Speaker 5: don't want to give out these long contracts, even this

1160
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 5: extension six years one oh five that with with a

1161
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 5: vesting option for cal Raley, Well they're they're picking that

1162
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 5: up unless he gets hurt and they would have to

1163
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 5: pay this. So I agree with you and yes, the

1164
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 5: number is fifty to sixty million. If you know you're

1165
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 5: getting this production from the catching position, the Dodgers would

1166
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 5: pay fifty to sixty million dollars And what then?

1167
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 3: What then? Then? Why would then why did Juan Soto? Right? Yeah,

1168
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 3: just out sign one year deals the whole time.

1169
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:25,439
Speaker 1: No, no, no, you guys are getting too realistic with get mine.

1170
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 4: He's on a realist I've played in the real world.

1171
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't play hat off your CBA hat. Wanted to

1172
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: know if you're in fantasyland and I say, hey, we

1173
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,520
Speaker 1: have a catcher available for your contending team. You need

1174
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: a catcher. These are the numbers you're going to get.

1175
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: How much money would you pay?

1176
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 3: By the way, he is on a contending team, so.

1177
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: I know that I know he's on a contending.

1178
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 3: All your arguments, you're no. One void, you're.

1179
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: Ball busting to the highest. No, there are offt balls

1180
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: flying everywhere right now, I'm just saying, like, how much

1181
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: would you pay for him? Right? You're running how much

1182
00:54:57,160 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: he signed for? Who cares not?

1183
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 3: Who cares? How much he signed for?

1184
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 1: Six years, one oh five?

1185
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:07,600
Speaker 3: That is exactly what great, that's exactly what I pay Scott.

1186
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 5: Since you got since you're not getting anywhere. I agree

1187
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 5: with you. Yes, I would pay fifty to sixty million

1188
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 5: dollars for a year that you know you're getting fifty

1189
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 5: plus homers from the catching position. The real question is,

1190
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 5: because we talked early in the show about Royce Lewis,

1191
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 5: how much did that contract that he signed, that cal

1192
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 5: Raley signed before the year helped dictate this season? Helped

1193
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 5: him do what he's doing because the hit home runs.

1194
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 5: Everybody will tell you, no matter where your swing change

1195
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 5: is or not, you got to catch the ball out front.

1196
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 5: To catch the ball out front, you might swing and

1197
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 5: miss at a few more pitches. Now he's catching the

1198
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 5: ball out front from the left side and the right side.

1199
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 5: Maybe that contract allowed him to relax a little bit

1200
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 5: and not worry so much about the narrative that the

1201
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 5: Mariners strike out so much, and maybe that enabled him

1202
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,479
Speaker 5: to become a better hitter because he has one hundred

1203
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 5: and five million dollars coming to him and doesn't have

1204
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:01,760
Speaker 5: to play for his contract.

1205
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 3: No doubt about fantasy.

1206
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Even in Fantasyland, we call that

1207
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: bleep it mode where it's like you're you're just going

1208
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: out there to have a good time and do whatever win.

1209
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 4: Say that because he wants to win and he wants

1210
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 4: to do well soon going out there saying bleep it.

1211
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: No, he's not worried about what the offseason is going

1212
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: to look like. Okay, he's just worried about what's going

1213
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: to help a million worth. Didn't you play with some

1214
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: guys who would go out on the field and feel

1215
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 1: like real tense and like I have to prove every

1216
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: single second of what I'm doing here, And then some

1217
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: guys that were like, Hey, I'm I'm playing free and

1218
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 1: easy and it's leading to more.

1219
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 4: Sometimes guys when they signed contracts play do worse the

1220
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 4: first year because they're trying to live up to the contract.

1221
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,240
Speaker 1: Hey, they don't always all work too. I mean, Lawrence

1222
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 1: Butler is having a really down year compared to what

1223
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: he did last year. But it's long term deal and

1224
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 1: days aren't in playoff range anyway. But coy Riley fifty

1225
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 1: eight point five million dollars is his worth according to A. J. Prazinski,

1226
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 1: if you could buy that sticle production to the one

1227
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: seas you heard it here first. I just wanted to

1228
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: come up with a different way to hype up how valuable.

1229
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: He's been He's very valuable.

1230
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,160
