1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, and happy hump day. You are watching Fowl Territory.

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: I am a Wana Rizzo, your host for the next

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: couple of hours, alongside Ajo Krazinski, Eric Kratz, the mainstays

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: of this fair program. Great to be with you boys

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: on this afternoon. Don't forget everybody hashtag FT live. You

00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: can buy our merch support the show and style Foul

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: Territory shop dot com. All right, boys, let's get to it.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: Let's charge the mounds, charge.

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Of about.

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just go with it. I'm just gonna go

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: with it. Let's talk about Cal Rawley, can we? I mean,

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: the man is just breaking records, setting records. I love

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: the fact that he's a switch hitting catcher doing it.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Pretty a nice company there in terms of besting Mickey

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Mantle as far as the most home runs gentlemen in

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: a season from a switch hitter. Andy happens to be

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: a backstop like the two of you. AJ, what's your

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: take on mister Rawley.

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: I've been saying it for months. He's still my MVP.

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: He won't win because there's a bias, you like, because

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. But I think that maybe hopefully some voters

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: will get fatigued to Aaron Judge, but he's my MVP

23
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: in the American League, not only because of the way

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: he's hit home runs the all time. He's going to

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: set the all time record in Seattle. He's done switch

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: hitters record, he's done the catching record, and next is

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 3: the Mariners record if he gets the sixty home runs.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, there's no way he should not be MVP

29
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 3: because everyone on here believes.

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: I think that the Mariners are going to win.

31
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: The AL West, which is a big accomplishment, so I

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: think he should be the AL MVP.

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: There's not enough we can say about cal Rawlely.

34
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: Platinum Glove, home run record, switch hitter, he does it

35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: all so and he plays every day.

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: So yeah, Kratz, does it matter? I know it sounds

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: silly asking a catcher this question, but the fact that

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: he's doing it, what he's doing as a backstop with

39
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: all of the responsibilities that go along with that premier

40
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: position in this game, does it mean even more that

41
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: he's doing this as a catcher.

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Yes, how much more? I have no idea like there is.

43
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: Nobody would deny that it's the hardest position on the field.

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: It is the position that just looking at sheer numbers, offensively,

45
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: numbers are way down. This is why guys like aj

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: Perzinski are not in the Hall of Fame because they

47
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: try to compare catcher numbers to other positions. You need

48
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: to compare catchers to catchers. This season he is having

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: is historic. It will possibly in my generate in my lifetime,

50
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 3: it will not be passed, and it needs to be celebrated.

51
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: And yes, what he's doing is ridiculous. Just on a

52
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: if you show Hay's numbers were better than this last year,

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 3: but I mean he didn't have as many home runs

54
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 3: is as Cow has this year, and you saw he

55
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: won the MVP at DH He's doing it behind the dish.

56
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: This is a ridiculous.

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: It's probably one of the top five seasons that I've

58
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: ever seen in my lifetime, and yet he is.

59
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: Not your MVP. Kratz, explain yourself.

60
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 3: Because in that top five, Aaron Judge is putting himself

61
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 3: above there. It's unfair. It's unfair for Cal and as

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 3: a catcher, I should vote for Cal as a If

63
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: I was a voter, I would have to vote the

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 3: most valuable player, and I think both guys their team

65
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: doesn't make the playoffs without them. I think equally Aaron

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 3: Judge without Aaron Judge. The Yankees do not make it

67
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: without Cal Raley. The Mariners do not make it.

68
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: A je Let me ask you this because I just

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: asked Ek if it mattered more because Cal is doing

70
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: it as a catcher? Does it matter more in terms

71
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: of the numbers that he's putting up because he's passing

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: the likes of guys like Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffy Junior.

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean when you think about those names, and Cal

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: himself postgame yesterday says he doesn't belong a j in

75
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the conversation of a Mickey Mantle of a Griffy Junior,

76
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty unbelievable company. Does it mean more

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: because he's elevated himself even past those greats?

78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 3: Well, it means more because it's a historical year. That's

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. And will he do this again? We

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: don't know that, but this is an all time history

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 3: making year, like when Ronald Acuna went forty and seventy

82
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: and he beat out show Hey for the what was

83
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: it the players award the Player of the Year, hit

84
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 3: or of the.

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: War or whatever it was.

86
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: We had a whole argument about that because of a

87
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 3: historical year. This is a historical year, a possible once

88
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: in a lifetime thing. We're seeing something that no one

89
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: has ever done in the history of baseball. So that's

90
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: why he should be rewarded with it. And also I

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: just think he's so valuable to the Mariners because of

92
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 3: his catching and to be passing guys Mickey man O, King,

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: Griffy Junior, these are icons of the game of all time.

94
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: Kyle Rowly deserves a little more credit, and I don't

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 3: know why he's not getting it.

96
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 3: I think it's he's going to be in the conversation

98
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: for the home runs are looking at like Mickey Mantle's

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 3: season that the year that he had the fifty four

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: home runs and the years that Ken Griffy had fifty

101
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: six home runs, the two milestones that he's tied and

102
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 3: just passed. Like you're talking about, does it had I

103
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: had it pulled up and now I don't like Griffy

104
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: had a thousand ops, he had a three. He was

105
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: hitting three hundred. He was hit almost four hundred on

106
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: base percentage like the other numbers were as equally dominant

107
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: as the fifty six home runs. Mickey Mantle as the

108
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 3: fifty four home runs, so he will be in that conversation.

109
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: He will be.

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: But if you ranked him against those seasons, he would

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: be second place behind those seasons also. And that's what

112
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: we're comparing, like golden apples to golden apples here, Like

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: it's not nobody's hating on I watched some of the

114
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: responses to some of the guys, the things that you

115
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: guys said yesterday about the MVP debate, and nobody's hating

116
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: on Cal Raley and people that pick Cal Ray, nobody's

117
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: hating on Aaron Judge. You have to compare two guys

118
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: that have been historically dominant in one season. Unfortunately, it'd

119
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: be better if they did it in separate seasons.

120
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and I do think Aaron Judge has more of

121
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity to perhaps repeat this type of season than

122
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: Cal Rawley does. I think this is a name once

123
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: in a lifetime season for Cal. Let me ask you this, though, guys,

124
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: he hit fifty five and fifty six last night. Only

125
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: nine other players in this great Game of ours have

126
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: hit the sixty home run mark. There's still what ten

127
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: eleven games left to go? AJ does Cal hit sixty

128
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: this year.

129
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: I said he was going to hit sixty a long

130
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: time ago, so I think he's going to get there.

131
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 3: I think he figures out a way to get to sixty.

132
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 3: I don't know if he gets to. Aaron Judge's American

133
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: League record was at sixty two, but I think he

134
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: can figure out a way to hit four more because

135
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: these games mean something, their independent raise, and he's going

136
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: to have to play. He's not going to get days

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: off because they're one game ahead for the AOS. So

138
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna have to play and he's gonna

139
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 3: have to perform, and I think he'll do it. The

140
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,559
Speaker 3: last week at home he hit sixty and win the MVP.

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 4: Hey, if you're a card collector or you're looking to collect, buy, sell, trade,

142
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 4: Arena clubs the spot, and I'm going to tell you why.

143
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: Because the old process AJA was very clunky. Buy a box,

144
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: rip the pack, tons of comments, send it in for grading,

145
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: and then finally you get everything back. This is weeks

146
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: and weeks and you can start to try and sell

147
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: the card. We have eliminated that with Arena club or

148
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 4: they have I act like I'm part of it, but

149
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: in really one step.

150
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: Arena's your one stop shop for everything. You get a card,

151
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 3: you open a slap pack, the card is there, it's graded,

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: It spins around. Cooley shows you three D the front,

153
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: the back, you can look at the corners, you can

154
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: look at everything, and then you get a decision. Do

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: I want to keep it? Do I want to sell it?

156
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,600

165
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 3: I thought he had no shot at hitting sixty unless

166
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: he goes into Kansas City and the series because it's

167
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: a large stadium team, the pitchers don't give up a

168
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: ton of home runs at home there. I thought if

169
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: he hit two this series he could get there. He

170
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: freaking hits two in his first three at bats last night,

171
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think he's going to get to sixty.

172
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: That is such a crazy number to think about it.

173
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: Is crazy to think about it, especially from a catcher. Guys,

174
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: what is crazier though?

175
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 2: That fact?

176
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with my headroom here.

177
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's crazier sixty home runs from

178
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: a catcher or the fact that look at the Mariners

179
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: making it difficult for the Houston Astros. Did we see

180
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: that coming?

181
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: But they've won ten games in a row, not as

182
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: bad as they played on the road. But now they've

183
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 3: come home and they've won ten games in a row

184
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: and they went east on a game. So the Mariners

185
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 3: are doing it right now. And listen, the Astros are

186
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: doing everything in their power to stay in the in

187
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: this fight and winning the first two against the Rangers.

188
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: But wow, I mean ten in a row at this

189
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 3: time of year. The only question I asked is are

190
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: you peaking too early? Are you peaking too early? Because

191
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: in baseball you're always do a little down. Are you

192
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: peaking too early?

193
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's just it, right, It's whenever you're playing the

194
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: best at the right time. That's the difficulty of this game,

195
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: you guys. That's why in football it seems like, oh,

196
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: if you have seventeen eighteen games, it's a lot easier

197
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 1: than if you have one hundred and sixty two. Doesn't

198
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: really matter what you're doing in the middle of May.

199
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean it does at the end of the day

200
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: in terms of record and standings and stuff. But you

201
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: got to be playing good baseball at the right time,

202
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: and the Mariners kind of seem to be doing that.

203
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: Got to be healthy too, You got to be healthy.

204
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean, we we talked about the last two weeks.

205
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 3: To me, it's about like guys like last night Michael

206
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: King pitching, Like, how does he do in these last

207
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: two weeks? How do guys coming off the IL. We

208
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 3: talked about Kyle Tucker coming off the IL. So if

209
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: your team is healthy, then it kind of matters how

210
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: you're going into Like if you win fifteen straight games

211
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: to finish out the regular season. Yeah, I mean history

212
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: says those teams rarely go in and go up two

213
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 3: and q out in the first round. No, they're like,

214
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: no off days. We'll play somebody on the off day.

215
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 3: We don't want anything like we are. We're pushing it

216
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: and that's that's how that's how you make a run.

217
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: I remember we made a run like that with the

218
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: with the Royals. We made a run like that with

219
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: the Brewers. But all that doesn't happen unless you win

220
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 3: that one close game here and there to make yourself

221
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 3: get that momentum and just ride that ally into the postseason.

222
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: I would love it to see the Mariners obviously win

223
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: the division, but more over, guys go deep into the postseason. Right,

224
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: it's one thing for the Mariners to make the postseason.

225
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: It's another thing entirely to show them that this year

226
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: they're actually a complete Mariners team, more so than we've

227
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: seen in years past.

228
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: Right, they've never been to a World Series. They got

229
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: to get to the World Series. That's it. I mean,

230
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 3: they've been to the LCS, they've lost. They they've been,

231
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: they've been to the playoffs recently they've lost. They got

232
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 3: to make a deep run and get to the World

233
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 3: Series because they've never been there, so we don't know,

234
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: but we've never seen it. They're more complete, they're more complete,

235
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: like you said, but they do have to hit. Yeah,

236
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: and because the pitching isn't what it was last year.

237
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: Last year, everybody if they knew if the Mariners got

238
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 3: in whoa, they might win every game one nothing and

239
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: it might be a twelve or thirteen inning game because

240
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 3: their pitching was lockdown nails this year.

241
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: They're just a little bit more human guys.

242
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Trevor story, he is a thief. He is thirty for

243
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: thirty now in stolen bases on the year. It's pretty good.

244
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Not a single caught stealing. He ties the record for

245
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: most stolen bags in the season without being And this

246
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: is a guy that posts plays every day. What's the

247
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: most impressive thing about that to you?

248
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 3: Aj Not getting caught, not getting picked off, not trying

249
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: to get a big jump, none of this, no one,

250
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: no catcher making a really perfect throw, Like right there,

251
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: Langeleers makes a really good throw and he's still safe.

252
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: So this is not only a credit to Trevor's story.

253
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: This is also a credit to the first base coach.

254
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 3: And I'm not forget who the first base coach is

255
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 3: in Boston at this point, but they've got something. They

256
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: know when to go. They picked the right pitches. So

257
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: this is not only on Trevor story. This is also

258
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: on whoever their base running slash first base coaches and

259
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: not right there was luck because if he tags his ankle,

260
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: he's out. So I mean there's also a lot of

261
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 3: luck involved there too.

262
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: Part of it. Part of it.

263
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: Jose Flores is the first base coach and Kyle Hudson

264
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: Huddy the third base coach. Both those dudes they know

265
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 3: stolen bases. Stolen bases. Yes, it happens by speed, but

266
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: it happens because you're picking something up, whether the catcher

267
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: sets up differently. A pitcher is a a lean guy,

268
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: where you know he leans back. He might be a

269
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: one to two on the gun, on the on the

270
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 3: stopwatch to the plate, but when he leans now, all

271
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 3: of a sudden, he's a one to five and you

272
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 3: can pick that up. And that's how you get thirty

273
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 3: for thirty.

274
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: Good drop t sen Aja. You said it before that

275
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: the fact that Houston kind of superseded, or maybe it

276
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: was Eric, I can't remember. I'm sorry, but Houston's in

277
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: that second wild card spot now, is my point. That's

278
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: a pretty big deal. Why do you think this is

279
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: a big deal?

280
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: Well, because if you're Boston, you don't want to have

281
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 3: to go to Seattle. If you're in Boston, you have

282
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 3: to go to Seattle now, and that's a long flight.

283
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 3: So at the end of the season, you're packing up

284
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: and you're going to Seattle. And then you're possibly going

285
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: wherever the next wherever, the next round if you win

286
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: that round makes you which would be Detroit, so you're

287
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: you're leaving again for another week plus. So I think

288
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: this is a bigger deal for them. Houston's used to

289
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 3: going to Seattle. If they have to play Seattle, they

290
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 3: know Seattle well. But for Boston, listen, Yankee Stadium is

291
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: right there. They can take the train or fly however

292
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: they want to do it. It's just an easier thing

293
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: for everybody. You just don't want to have a lot

294
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: of people we talk about the Seattle travel all the time.

295
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: A lot of people don't want to have to go

296
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: to Seattle.

297
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: It's just far. It's really far. It's beautiful city, but

298
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: it's so far it is.

299
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: And the greatest sushi restaurant Japanessa. If you know, you

300
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: know Eric Kratz. The winner of Wednesday's game between the

301
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Astros and the Rangers takes the season series. They will

302
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: hold any tiebreakers if the club's finish with the same record.

303
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: There's a lot riding on today's game.

304
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: There is a lot if we want to continue that storyline.

305
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: But if the Rangers don't win, I don't care if

306
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: they would have had the season series after that, anyway

307
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: they would have been, they would be out. This is

308
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: a must win, have to have it. Everybody talks about

309
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: mine wins. This is the must win.

310
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: The Astros held off a three run eighth inning. Brian

311
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: A bray You gets the four out saved despite letting

312
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: up three hits. It's touch and go though every time.

313
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: Though.

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I feel with the Astros when it comes to that bullpen,

315
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: obviously you're only as good as your bullpen is in

316
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: the postseason. I feel it's pitching, it's defense. You guys

317
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: know that better than anybody. Josh haters on the il

318
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: that's problematic, is it not?

319
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: Their whole team seems like it has been banged up the

320
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: whole year. Everything is problematic. And last night they were

321
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 3: up six nothing, six to one, and then all of

322
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 3: a sudden, Dale Santos has been really good for him,

323
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: gives up a bunch of runs and they had to

324
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: get a bray You in there to close it down

325
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: after giving up some knocks. But it was not an

326
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 3: easy save. It's a four out save. It'd be interesting

327
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 3: to see who they have available for today's game, and

328
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 3: they're facing too. Graham today. So listen, give give credit

329
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: to Alexander the first game and Gordon last night. They

330
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: pitched really well, unherlded guys that have done a great

331
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: job for the Astros this whole season, really so they

332
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: deserve a lot of credit. Hobby pitch today, He's been

333
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 3: better lately. But de gram against Lavier, that seems like

334
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 3: there should be the Rangers game to take and they

335
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: have to win this or their season's over.

336
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: You would you would think that Astro's GM Dana Brown

337
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: guys said that the team received good news on Jordne

338
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: Alvarez is MRI. No fracture. That's a positive. They will

339
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: know more in a couple of days. I mean in

340
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: a couple of days, Like I mean, we're running out

341
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: of time here, so I guess that's good news, no fracture,

342
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: But I mean it's still got to be I would

343
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: imagine quite sore. I mean, is this something you just

344
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: shoot the guy up and say, get out their kid,

345
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: go get him Russ.

346
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 3: Not for not for an entire postseason. No, look at

347
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 3: what they had, look at what the Dodgers had to

348
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 3: do with Freddy last year. Yeah, I saw a side

349
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: by side of Freddy's road ankle and Jordan's road ankle.

350
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: It almost looks identical. Obviously different. I think it's different foot,

351
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: but like the depth of that role, like the high

352
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: ankle sprain. I guess they're calling it he's gonna be

353
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: in pain. He's gonna be in pain shooting it up, though.

354
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

355
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: The Astros are very, very cautious about any injuries. We'll

356
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: see how they are, how cautious they are, especially if

357
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: Estoc Paradis comes back. You can't be like, hey, you're done,

358
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: You're gonna DH and Paradis You're gonna da uhh. So

359
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: that's that's the issue that they're gonna run into. And

360
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: they need the offense. They need a left handed batan there.

361
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: I think you're done. It's fine, just coming back out

362
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 3: off injuries, not needing to rehab. I think his game

363
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 3: or swing is that good. But man, you can't have

364
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: two guys that have to both DH and then you

365
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: gotta plug one in if they're gonna play. So this

366
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: is concerning for the Astros.

367
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: Crats.

368
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna steal a line right from the top here

369
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 4: about Meyundi's a cut for every butt. I took a

370
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 4: line that I feel like you would enjoy, but then

371
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 4: you stole my thunder with show and tell. What do

372
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: you have there.

373
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: Besides a huge Baduka dunk. This is my pair of

374
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: me Undies that I got. I'm not going to show

375
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: you the other pair right now because I got them on,

376
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: but it doesn't even feel like you have them on,

377
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 3: super soft, flexible and yet holding everything together.

378
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: I love the twenty different styles, one hundred different colors

379
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: and prints, and the micro modal fabric is what you're

387
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: What the astors are doing without the services of Kyle

388
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: Tucker and Alex Bregman is stupid. It's still amazing to

389
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: me that they're always where they are. This team just

390
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: reloads every single year. There is a Kyle Tucker update

391
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: a Chicago Cub Kyle Tucker update. He is traveling to

392
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: Tampa this morning with a member of Chicago's medical staff.

393
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: Manager Craig Council has said to seek additional outside treatment

394
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: for a calf injury that has plateaued. Tucker is expected

395
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: to rejoin the team next week in Chicago. Guys, Obviously,

396
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: the Cubs have a stronghold on the wild card spot,

397
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: that top spot there behind the NL Central winning Milwaukee Brewers.

398
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: But if it's plateaued, I guess you can't hurt it

399
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: any further. It doesn't get any better. I mean, AJ,

400
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: what do you take away from this update on Tucker.

401
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: I've never heard of an injury plateauinguse. I mean, it's

402
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: at the top and then it's going to go down

403
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: or I don't know, it's going to stay the same

404
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: never I don't know. But a cals are like hamstrings

405
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: for me. When you heard a calf, everyone comes back

406
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: from it and then they're like, oh, I'm good, and

407
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: then they always heard it like the first game or

408
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 3: two back, and then they're out longer. So you got

409
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: to be careful with these hamstrings are the same way.

410
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 3: Every guy seemed like they pulled a hamstring. They Oh,

411
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 3: they go to rehab and they run their little cone

412
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 3: drills out there and then the game starts in boom.

413
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 3: Then the first game or two the same thing. It

414
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: always seemed like they repulled it. Now that's not every time,

415
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: but it just seemed like it. Okay, and the Calves

416
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: are the same way.

417
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: Guys. I saw the pulled Calves eventually heard it again

418
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: for some reason.

419
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 3: I don't know why. I don't know what this means.

420
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 3: But if he's supposed to be back next week, good

421
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: on Kyle Tucker.

422
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: Because the Cubs are gonna need him in the postseason.

423
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't have you can't. You can't have success

424
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: for the Cubs if you don't have Kyle Tucker.

425
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 2: That's it.

426
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Cubs fans might get at me for that,

427
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: but they are offensively. They are not the Apex offensive

428
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: club that they were earlier this year. They're just not

429
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: and they need Kyle Tucker to be that guy for them.

430
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: I know they scored four runs this morning today in

431
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 3: their first inning, but look, you have to that is

432
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: what will carry this team because I don't think they're

433
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 3: pitching has enough depth.

434
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: What do you think is more problematic? And this might

435
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: seem silly, but the Chicago Cut without the services of

436
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker moving forward, or the Houston Astros without the

437
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: services of your Don Alvarez moving forward the.

438
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 3: Cubs because Alva has been out basically the whole year.

439
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 3: So the Astros have done this, been they've done this.

440
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 3: And also I think the American League is easier than

441
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: the National League, so I'll say it too. And the Astros.

442
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 3: You can ask. We've asked people all day, how are

443
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: the Astros doing it? Everyone keeps not giving them credit,

444
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 3: but they're getting it done somehow. Someway, they don't score

445
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: enough runs. They're pitching isn't good enough, their bullpen isn't

446
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 3: good enough. But here they are going to get to

447
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 3: the postseason again somehouse away and I wouldn't bet against

448
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: him in the postseason with all their experience. So I think,

449
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: to me, it's Tucker because Alvarez has been out pretty

450
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 3: much the whole year.

451
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I agree.

452
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: Well partly, you guys are probably right. I mean, he's

453
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: been he has been gone. They've been there, done this,

454
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: but they're still battling for a wildcard spot. Guys at

455
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: the end of the season, where I guess they did

456
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: it a little bit, you know in years past where

457
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: they were kind of battling for a user or winning

458
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: the division. Yeah, was it three years.

459
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 3: Ago, two years ago when they had to win when

460
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: the Seattle that was the Alex Bragman will never know

461
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 3: the Rangers. Rangers got in because the Astros, I mean,

462
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: they were battling for their life.

463
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: They've been through this before.

464
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 3: Remember in twenty twenty in COVID they were thirty and

465
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: thirty and got to the and and almost came back

466
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 3: from down three to zero against the Rays and the

467
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: Alcs and out in San Diego.

468
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: So the Astros have had their backs again.

469
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 3: So well, that's the one thing about the Astros I

470
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: don't feel like we that we don't need to worry about,

471
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: is like they figured out. Like they went into this series,

472
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 3: remember against the Rangers. Everyone's like, oh, the Rangers. And

473
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: they go out win the first two games and you're like, oh,

474
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 3: all right, everyone take a deep breath here for a minute,

475
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: because they listen, they have a two game lead over

476
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: the Guardians right now. I don't know who has the

477
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 3: wild car or the the tiebreaker, but yeah, I don't

478
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 3: know who has that, but I feel like they're gonna

479
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: get in. They just know how to win, and nobody

480
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 3: can Nobody can argue with that. They can argue with

481
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: how you win. But that organization in the minor leagues,

482
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 3: they promote, yes, all the metrics and being the best,

483
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: hard hitting, don't strike out, zone control hitters, but they

484
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: also put an ownership on winning in the minor leagues,

485
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: and they expect their teams to win to a certain

486
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: to a certain extent, and I think that just permeates

487
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: through the organization. Like there's a expectation that when Correa left,

488
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 3: Paynya was going to step in to be the leader

489
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: of this team. Oh now they got Correa back after

490
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 3: they lost one of their biggest leaders, and now Alex Bregman. Like,

491
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 3: there's just an expectation of winning there. And I think

492
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: when you raise that level of expectation like some organizations don't,

493
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 3: and you have good players, that's how you're always in

494
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: it and you always you can't be counted out.

495
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about the New York and Metropolitans,

496
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: shall we, because goodness knows we don't talk about the

497
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: Mets enough. So Ken release a column that's Ken Rosenthal.

498
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: Of course, releasing a column this morning, the Mets kept

499
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: a passing lane open in the race for the National

500
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: League's final wildcard spot. Will any team take it? Kratz,

501
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,919
Speaker 1: I ask you that AJ says they're in.

502
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: No.

503
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean we would have to have a We would

504
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 3: have to have a Lona Rizzos, Rockies Typo No.

505
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no no.

506
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: End of the season. You need another home you need

507
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 3: another homer team.

508
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: But I the Red Sox for my homer team.

509
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 3: Now okay, okay, from the from the Diamondbacks, you'd have

510
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 3: to have a historic of the what of the Rockies

511
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 3: went nineteen of twenty one to get in and then

512
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 3: they run two. See I knew my Homer would thank you,

513
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: thank you, Homer, but you're welcome. That is what that

514
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: is what they're going to need, because I think the

515
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: Mets have started to figure out how to score runs again,

516
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: and they're going to play some seven to five games,

517
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: some eight to six games. But it's just so much

518
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 3: to make up. I get it's a game and a

519
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: half that Diamondbacks have to The Diamonbacks can't lose more

520
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 3: than three games for the rest of the season, which

521
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: is a really, really tall task. I don't care who

522
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: they're playing when they're playing them, but AJ look at this.

523
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: Look no further to the poor play of the Mets

524
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: for the past three months. They're thirty three and forty nine.

525
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: Since they're forty five and twenty four start, that is

526
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: the worst record over that span, even worse than the

527
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates, the Chicago White Sox, who you know intimately,

528
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: and all but three other clubs. That's the only reason

529
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: these three pursuers are even getting a sniff. They had

530
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: lost eight straight before winning the last of their three

531
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 1: game series against the Rangers. I mean, they've got a

532
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: lot of there's a lot of reason that they're in

533
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: this position right now. They had a.

534
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: They've done it to themselves. They've done it.

535
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: But also listen, you know we're like, ooh, we're number

536
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 3: with the Diamondbacks. They're seventy seven and seventy five. Okay,

537
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 3: the Mets have done this to themselves. They're three games up.

538
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't care.

539
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: Jim Boden tried to correct me. They're one and a half. Actually,

540
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 3: there're two. I always look at the they're two bad.

541
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 3: You can't make the losses up. Okay, so they're two

542
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 3: back in the lost column plus the tiebreaker, that's three.

543
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Guardians have the tiebreaker over

544
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: the Astros, which is a big deal because if they

545
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 3: end up tied, the Guardians get in over them, So

546
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 3: that actually is a big deal. But the Mets are in.

547
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, unless something absolutely has unless they lose eight

548
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 3: games in a row, the Mets are going to get in. Yeah,

549
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 3: that's what he said.

550
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: That's what he said. That's what he said.

551
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: That's what he said. Well, you guessed it. It's time

552
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: for that's what he said. Doug McClain, who does stuff

553
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: on for DMAC Underscore LA of course covering the Dodgers

554
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles show, Hey Otani said that he'd be

555
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: willing to play outfield in the postseason. What I've been

556
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: having conversations with different people, and that topic has come

557
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: up as well. That applies to the mound and possibly

558
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: even the outfield if I end up going as a reliever,

559
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: and there could be situations where I also need to

560
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: play defense in the outfield. Obviously, shoe O Tani was

561
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: talked with Japanese media. This is all through interpreters as well,

562
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 1: but the fact of the matter is he's obviously having

563
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: these conversations gentlemen, if he himself was the one who's

564
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: bringing it up. Show Hey pitched five no hit innings

565
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: last night. Also got his fiftieth home run of the year.

566
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 1: He's the first player with fifty home runs in back

567
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: to back season since Alex Rodriguez whatever in two thousand

568
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: and one, two thousand and two. So, I don't know

569
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: what what are we doing, la.

570
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 3: Are you gonna practice? Are we gonna practice in the outfit?

571
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: Are we just gonna throw him out there in the playoffs?

572
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: Aster not ever practicing in a game.

573
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like.

574
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: It's almost like show Hey does whatever he wants. Oh,

575
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start today.

576
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: He definitely, he definitely does whatever he wants.

577
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 3: But it's like, don't you want to practice a little

578
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 3: bit out there? I would think you'd want to practice,

579
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 3: and maybe, Hey, if you're gonna pitch out of the bullpen,

580
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: show Hey, we have ten games left, you might want

581
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 3: to practice it before you do it, because your warm

582
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: up routine is really long. Oh yeah, And also if

583
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna the often, we might like to see you

584
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: catch a fly ball or two before.

585
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, He's never done either. By the way,

586
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: they were talking about this last night. Uh.

587
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 3: I was watching the Dodger game last night and they

588
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: were talking about this this rule, and they're like, Oh,

589
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 3: they need to change the rule before the playoffs so

590
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 3: that that that show Hay gets to pitch in the

591
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: playoffs as a reliever. I'm like, we just can't change

592
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 3: rules all the time because Show they already made one

593
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: rule for him. We can't just change rules of baseball

594
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: for one guy forever, like the rules stick with it.

595
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: I don't know who said it. I don't know what.

596
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was on the bro it

597
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: was on some broadcast, but they were like, Andrew Friedman

598
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 3: came out and said they need to change this rule

599
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: because show Hey might not be able to pitch in

600
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: the postseason. I'm sure, Andrew Freeman, there's a lot of

601
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: rules you'd like to change it help your team win.

602
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: And did Andrew really say that, We don't know.

603
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

604
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 3: That's what somebody quoted him and saying it was on

605
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: a broadcast. I don't know what prodcast I was watching.

606
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't know it done.

607
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: He's never done either. Sorry, Alana, what has to be

608
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: reiterated he's never come out of the bullpen. Clayton Kershall

609
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: has come out of the bullpen in the postseason in

610
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 3: big games. So Clayton Kershall is a future Locke Hall

611
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 3: of Famer and he has done it. He may be

612
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: more comfortable doing it, like to say the show, he's

613
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 3: just gonna all of a sudden come out of the bullpen,

614
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, go chase down fly balls. Is

615
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: there anybody in the game that I would say could

616
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 3: do it without any practice?

617
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

618
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But I feel like maybe this is the time

619
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: when you're not going to catch the phillies. Now, I

620
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 3: feel like this is the time if you're going to

621
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: do that. But when do they do that? He just

622
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: pitched yesterday. He's fatigued. When you're fatigued, that's the best

623
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: chance of having a small muscle tear, which you cannot

624
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: afford for him to have.

625
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 2: So how would they get that done?

626
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: What's the like, what's the likely yer of the two

627
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: to happen? Show Kotani plays in the outfield in the postseason,

628
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: comes out of the bullpen, or rookie Sosaki makes the

629
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: postseason roster?

630
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: Can I say neither, because neither one of us, so

631
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: the bullpen.

632
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: He's not playing in the outfield, and Sosaki is not

633
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 1: making the postseason roster.

634
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: Rookieaki is gonna make the roster.

635
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 3: He can't even exactly, so it's neither either because he

636
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: can't afford show Hey, in a big situation if they

637
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: bring him out of the bullpen unless he goes the

638
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: outfield and you're gonna have to practice in the outfield

639
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: and he hasn't.

640
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: Done it, and he has a pitch out of the bullpen,

641
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: they don't.

642
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 3: They can't afford him getting hurt because he hasn't warmed

643
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: up in the bullpen, you know, to warm up and pitch.

644
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 3: Like everyone's like, oh, make him the closer.

645
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: He's never done that. He can't just.

646
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you want Trey you Savage on a bullpen

647
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: roster in the postseason, He's never done that either. Why

648
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: is it different for you Savage to be in there?

649
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: But he hasn't had two of these zippers on his arm,

650
00:30:54,960 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 3: because he zippers on his arm where they go, That's why.

651
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

652
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 3: He hasn't had two Tommy Johns, like like, show Hey,

653
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 3: I mean one Tommy John and one Nobody will tell

654
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: us what he had the second time because they don't

655
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: want to just say it.

656
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 2: But that's why.

657
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: And also Show Hayes listen, Trey Savage, they would they

658
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: would be careful with them, and they would use them

659
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: as a bulk guy to piggyback somebody.

660
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: That's what they would do. They wouldn't.

661
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: They wouldn't just say, hey, go throw three days in

662
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: a row. Some closers have to throw three days in

663
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: a row. And they're not gonna do that with Show Hey.

664
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Until roll it out.

665
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: But he hasn't had any time in the outfield.

666
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: So right, and I can't wait to see what Dave

667
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 3: Dave Roberts has to say about it when he's pressed

668
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: more than just like questioned about it, and until show

669
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 3: Hay says, yes, I had internal bracing. It's a myth.

670
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 3: In my opinion, based on Show Hey, it's probably duct tape.

671
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 3: They probably duct tape part of his elbow together, and

672
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 3: he's like, I can play in this league with just

673
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: duct tape on my OLB.

674
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: They're sticking to the script, though, gentlemen, another five innings

675
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: last night from Show Hey. I mean that's about all

676
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: they're letting him go. I mean, you like that do

677
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: you like that they're sticking to the script? I mean,

678
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: is he is he throwing Game four?

679
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 2: Is he?

680
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: What is he doing? What is sho Hay's role in

681
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: the postseason for these Los Angeles Dodgers.

682
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: Go hit homers unless somebody gets hurt. And by the way,

683
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: I'm only going five killed my lock last night. I'm

684
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 3: just saying, oh, sorry, no, it's fine, but.

685
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: You should know better. I mean, that's all he's been doing.

686
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: I know, but he I thought last night he had

687
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 3: five no hit innings. I thought he could have at

688
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 3: least gone off to six. I mean, he was pretty

689
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 3: much cruising through that lineup, so they should have maybe

690
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: stuck with him a little bit longer. But what do

691
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: the Dodgers do in big games? They take their starters

692
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: out too early sometimes and then they cost them like

693
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 3: he did last night.

694
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but to be fair, so did Kevin Cash and

695
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: the Dodgers won the World Series.

696
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: And they think people would have learned their lesson by now.

697
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: But they have, you would think, so, is that is

698
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: that the role? I mean, if somebody gets hurt, that's

699
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: the only time we're gonna see show Hay pitch or

700
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: we're just gonna wait until it's a five game series, Like,

701
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

702
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: I disagree. I think he's starting. I think he's gonna

703
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: start because what game the game four? Okay, I think

704
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 3: he's Game four, and I think Kershaw's Game five. You're

705
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: not rolling it back around. You're having a five man rotation.

706
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: You can't.

707
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 3: You can't having a five man rotation. Okay, the first

708
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 3: team in history to have five five man rotation in

709
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

710
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 2: No chance, Alana, back me up here.

711
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: They're not doing that now, lost Yamamoto and Otani or

712
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: Kershaw maybe piggyback each other. That's the way it's gonna go.

713
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 3: There's no way that they're not gonna have a five

714
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: man rotation of five.

715
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: They're gonna carry thirty if.

716
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: They get to the five game series. If the Mets don't.

717
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: Beat them, thirteen pitchers, they're carrying thirteen pitchers.

718
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: Okay, fourteen fourteen technically because doesn't count, doesn't count.

719
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

720
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 3: But but you can't. But you can't bring Yamamoto back.

721
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: That first series is gonna hamps never pick the nationally

722
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 3: has an extra off day. You can bring Yamamoto back.

723
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: You got plenty of time in the DS they got

724
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: the extra off day. I didn't know that. Well, first

725
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 3: of all, they got to get to the DS because

726
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: they're gonna have to play a wildcard series against the Mets, okay,

727
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 3: and then their.

728
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 2: Second series is probably gonna be against the Phillies.

729
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking, are they gonna go if they're gonna

730
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: go five man rotation in a five in a five well,

731
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 3: first of all, Yamamo, it's gonna be interesting to see

732
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 3: who they start games one and two, because if if

733
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 3: they have to go three games in the division series.

734
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 3: I didn't know about the extra off day for them,

735
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 3: because then then it would then it would play out

736
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: for them. They would go Yamamoto in the wild card

737
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: first game, and he'd be able to throw. He'd be

738
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 3: able to throw Game two or maybe game three of

739
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 3: the National Legue Division Series, which then would mean show,

740
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: depending on how the Wildcard series go, show, Hey may

741
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: star game one in Philadelphia.

742
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 2: Hm.

743
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, because if well, if you only are

744
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: you expecting all your starters to only give? I mean,

745
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: of course you would love them to go the distance,

746
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: but are you okay with five if each of your

747
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: starter can give you?

748
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 3: I think it's different this year. I know I'm going

749
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 3: against the trend of what the Dodgers have done, But

750
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 3: in the past few years, I've seen Dave Roberts and

751
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 3: more so their lineup make the changes to what they

752
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 3: need to do in the playoffs. Are they going to

753
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: go back to the age old third time through like

754
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 3: you're you're going to get cooked. Maybe, But I think

755
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 3: this year, because of the struggles recently down the stretch

756
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 3: of the bullpen, I think they may give some of

757
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: these guys a little bit of a longer leash the

758
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: third time through the lineup. So I don't think they're

759
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 3: going to go five and dive.

760
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: I think I hope you're right. I pray that you are.

761
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I pray you that to.

762
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: Me is baseball go as deep, as long as you can,

763
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 1: as far as you can, as deep as you can.

764
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: And this bullpen is not good.

765
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 3: And Blake Snell is one of the best third time through.

766
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 3: He has one of the best batting average against or

767
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: batting average on balls and play against in.

768
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: All of baseball.

769
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 3: And I feel like the Dodgers can see that and

770
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 3: they see that value because right now they don't have

771
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 3: ken Lee Jansen coming out of the bullpen. They don't

772
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 3: have Eric Gania coming out of the bullpen. Their guys

773
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 3: are a little bit beaten up, and so you can't

774
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 3: get five or six innings out of them.

775
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've ridden them hard all season long, until you

776
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: got Glasnow back, until you got Snell back, until Yamamoto

777
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: could give you something until I mean, it's been it's

778
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: been a rough road for not just the Dodgers. I

779
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: understand there's been a lot of bullpens that have been

780
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: ridden really hard. But even you know, when these guys

781
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: that you've paid a lot of money to, the Tanner, Scott's,

782
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 1: the Kurby Eates, all the things, and they're not having

783
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,359
Speaker 1: good years. I mean, Tanner's really really, really struggling this year.

784
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: So I hope to goodness that they let them these

785
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: guys see the third time through the lineup. I really do.

786
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 2: I really they won't. They won't. They have it. They

787
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: have it for years, so they won't.

788
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 3: And I can't really argue with a aj Is in

789
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 3: there on those manager meetings. He watches these games more

790
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 3: closely than anybody because he calls these games. It's hard

791
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,479
Speaker 3: to say that they they won't pull them after five.

792
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 3: They won't pull them after six?

793
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: No, OK, so what if doing things what he did

794
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: last night? To your point of what you just said,

795
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: want to let.

796
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: Him go last night? It means less. You let him

797
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 2: go last night, it means less than in the playoff.

798
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: If it means more, wouldn't you let him stay?

799
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: No, he hasn't done it, Elana, he hasn't done it.

800
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 3: That's you don't understand. The Dodgers don't do this. Rich

801
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: Hill was throwing a no hitter and guess what they

802
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 3: did in the playoffs.

803
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: Against That was against the pirates and who cares the race.

804
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: They didn't win that year, but they didn't win the.

805
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: Middle of the season. Who cares? It was against the

806
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: no in the play How.

807
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 2: Else is that one? You're richell was dominating and they

808
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 2: took them out.

809
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: I think we were talking about against the Buckos and

810
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: it went into ten innings and the Dodgers couldn't score

811
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: a run to save his life. In case you missed it,

812
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: yesterday's fight and fills. The victory over the Los Angeles

813
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: Dodgers gave him a six and a half game lead

814
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: over LA. That's the number two seed in the NL Playoff,

815
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: which includes a first round by we know how difficult

816
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,399
Speaker 1: it is to play at Citizens Bank, We know how

817
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: difficult the fight and Phills are. Are they the best team?

818
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: Are you still going with Dodgers AJ and that rotation

819
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: is better than the Phillies overall?

820
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, until someone beats the Dodgers, there's still number one

821
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: of my power rankings, and they'll never move even if

822
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 3: they you know what, even after they lose, I might

823
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 3: keep them number one of my power rankings just for fun.

824
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: But no, listen, I've said this, there's no bigger there's

825
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: no bigger thing going right now than the Phillies and

826
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 3: Brewers for the one seed in the National League and

827
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: who gets home field advantage because of the Bank and

828
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 3: what it means Citizens Bank, and also what American family

829
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: feel means to the to the Brewers. The Brews have

830
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: been better on the road than the Phillies, but going

831
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: to going to Philadelphia is a different animal, especially in

832
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: the postseason. It's one of my favorite atmosphers I've ever

833
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: been to for postseason games. So listen, it means it

834
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 3: means a lot if they can catch the Brewers for that. Plus,

835
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 3: it'll make Murph's letter look bad because because he's in

836
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 3: the letter, You guys got the best record in baseball.

837
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: If they don't end up with that, then I don't know.

838
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, well, that letter had a lot of different

839
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: interesting things. Phillies also series against the Dodgers, guys, giving

840
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: them the tiebreaker. The Phillies are one and a half

841
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,479
Speaker 1: games behind the brew Crew, as you just mentioned, AJ

842
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: for that number one seed. Who's more dangerous? Though season

843
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: and today, game starts tomorrow. I'm more worried about the

844
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Phillies than I am the Brewers.

845
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 3: I think the ceilings the ceilings higher for the Phillies

846
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 3: for sure. But keep keep batting against the Brewers. Keep

847
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 3: batting against the Brewers. See how see how that's worked

848
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 3: out for everybody. They figure out how to win.

849
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: And I think yes.

850
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: In the regular season, postseason.

851
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But I think Freddy Peralta, this is the best

852
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta that we've seen.

853
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: Okay, why what do you like.

854
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: The fact that he's getting more strikeouts with his secondary

855
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 3: pitches and he actually throws He's now going into that

856
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 3: like status where he'll kind of throw his fastball, yes, yes, curveball, yeah,

857
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 3: guy gets on base. You're seeing a different pitch, You're

858
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 3: seeing a lockdown heater. You're seeing him elevate that pitch

859
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 3: a little bit more, with a little bit more ride.

860
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: He like he has another gear, and I think that

861
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 3: is the difference. That's like the next step for when

862
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 3: pitchers really take it to the next level.

863
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 2: And I think it.

864
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 3: Looks like he's there when I watch one of his starts.

865
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: All right, So this is an interesting thing. I know

866
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: we continue to look at the NL wild Card standings,

867
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: but that's why this type of time of year is

868
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: such a blast, because if you look at the schedule.

869
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: After today's game versus San Francisco guys, it gets harder.

870
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 1: They have three versus the Philadelphia Phillies, three versus the

871
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Daughters three at San Diego. So listen, it's

872
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: it's not going to be that easy, a j. You

873
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: don't care what you guys are done with this, Like

874
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: Mets are in diamond.

875
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: Can I say the Mets are in? The Mets have

876
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 3: a three game lead, they're in. I can't say it anymore. Alana,

877
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: I don't know why we keep bringing up repeatedly.

878
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: Because it's not story.

879
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 3: There are two games over five hundred, Okay, if they

880
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 3: if they had Suarez and Merrill Kelly and Josh Naylor

881
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 3: and everyone else they could have had would be thinking

882
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 3: about it might be seven games over and be in

883
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,959
Speaker 3: the playoffs, but they traded everybody away. Listen, Corbyn Carrol

884
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 3: deserves a ton of credit, could tell Martes having a

885
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: nice year for missing a bunch of time.

886
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 2: But they're not getting in. It's gonna be like last year.

887
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: They might win, well, they're not gonna get to eighty nine,

888
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: but they might win.

889
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: Eighty six games and not get in because they started

890
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 3: too little, too late. I mean, the story there, the

891
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 3: story there, and I'll watch Diamondbacks games for the story

892
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 3: of Corbyn Carroll, what he's doing this year and really

893
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: what he's like doing as of late. I mean, you're

894
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 3: talking about a guy of thirty homers. He's gonna get

895
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,760
Speaker 3: two more bags. He's gonna be a thirty to thirty

896
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 3: guy probably now an outside chance because he hasn't had

897
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: triple in a minute to be like the last twenty

898
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 3: twenty twenty twenty twenty guy. Since Curtis Granderson and Jimmy

899
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 3: Rollins both did it like that's a feat. So the

900
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: diamond Backs story is exactly what the Diamondbacks as a

901
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 3: team wrote at the trade deadline, you know what all

902
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 3: we really got left is Corbyn Carroll. They didn't get

903
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 3: rid of Gallon because they he wasn't pitching very well

904
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 3: at the time. Now he's been nails since the trade deadline.

905
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 3: Maybe there was a little bit of pressure there. Maybe

906
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 3: he was, you know, feeling that like, Okay, I gotta perform.

907
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: Now it's like, oh, I'm not getting traded, and he's

908
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 3: settled in very nicely. But they just they don't They

909
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 3: don't have enough. It's like the Guardians in the other side.

910
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: I feel like they just don't have enough to catch

911
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 3: them and have their awful stretch.

912
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree with you, because I don't want

913
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks to get in just to poop it out

914
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: in the first round, you know what I mean, Like,

915
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,760
Speaker 1: if you don't have enough to like go the distance,

916
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: then don't get in.

917
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: And they have they have they have lost some key pieces,

918
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Yeah, justin Martinez, Corbyn Burns,

919
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 3: I mean Jordan Montgomery, you know, I guess he's been

920
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 3: out the whole year from Montgomery was in Milwaukee the

921
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 3: other day, by the way, I saw him, and I

922
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: was like, why is he here, Oh, the Brewers. I

923
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 3: completely forgot that. But he's he's traded to the Brewers.

924
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: He got traded them.

925
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: He was doing some award thing with his wife, which

926
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: is great, but I was like, I said, why is

927
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 3: Jordan Montgomery here? And they're like, oh, he's introducing himself

928
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: to all of his teammates and all of the people.

929
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 3: And I'm like, he's never even going to play here,

930
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 3: So I mean, does he consider is he considered part

931
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 3: of the Brewers?

932
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: If they win? Does he get a ring?

933
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 3: He gets a ring, he gets a playoff share. And

934
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 3: I found that out. I found that out because there

935
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: was a dude that milked the milk the DL in

936
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 3: il but it was a DL then in eighteen and

937
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 3: we didn't want to vote him a playoff share because

938
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: he was just sucking money. And they said, you can't

939
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 3: unvote somebody a playoff share that's injured but is technically

940
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 3: on their roster. So he's technically on their forty man roster.

941
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: Have you guys ever voted any portion of a playoff

942
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: share to a broadcaster of any type?

943
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 2: No, not a playoff share?

944
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: You guys suck so bad? What with you guys?

945
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: Because we're with you.

946
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: The whole time.

947
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 3: So hold on, I'm going to ask you a question

948
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: there during the playoff Slona, and that's all the matters.

949
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: So that's why playoffs share.

950
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: How dare you I was with you? I was with

951
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: the team every single day, even through the playoffs.

952
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 2: Well, I was really giving you a playoffs share.

953
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: This is gonna hurt your feelings. I'm still gonna say it.

954
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 3: Do you think the players look at Alana Rizzo on

955
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 3: the sideline and go, she helped us win this game?

956
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 2: No?

957
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: So I think that's where like we've voted, we've voted

958
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 3: massage therapists, we voted uh scouts that were never even

959
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 3: big lely scouts, like scouts in the minor leagues playoff shares.

960
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 3: One time, one time I was in the meeting the guy,

961
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 3: a guy's name got brought up. I won't say what

962
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 3: team it was, but he would pick. He would pick

963
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,919
Speaker 3: like pictures tells Like that was one of his job

964
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: was picking pictures tells. Well, obviously the picture end of

965
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 3: the season, they're like one of the pictures put his

966
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 3: hand up and they were like, yeah, give him a

967
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 3: quarter share, give him a half share. Picture goes, who

968
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 3: the heck? Is that the guy have no idea who

969
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 3: that is. They're like, oh, it's the guy that sits

970
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 3: next to this guy. He's like, he's like, I'm not

971
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: giving him half a share, and all the hitters were like,

972
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: well he actually uh he found a lot of stuff.

973
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 2: We like this guy. They're like, well, then you give

974
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: him a bonus. Don't take it out of my bonus.

975
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 3: So sorry, never, never, never, Broadcasters don't matter.

976
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 2: You want to see fight being a playoff share meeting.

977
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 1: I can only imagine. I can only imagine how that gets.

978
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 3: And you forget people, oh man, and you forget people,

979
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 3: and then it's the work, and you feel terrible.

980
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: If it's a it's life changing for a lot of

981
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: like like a bullpen catcher or whatever. You know what

982
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, there's like folks that it's absolutely life changing for.

983
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 1: So you got to do your due diligence. And sideline

984
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: reporters apparently not one of those folk. All right, coming back,

985
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it.

986
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 3: I've done like, I've done a bunch. I've done some

987
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 3: Dodger games this year. If they win a World Series,

988
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 3: do I got a playoff share?

989
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: Because I did not with them every single day though,

990
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: you have to. I'm talking about like every single day

991
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: I was with them, like a sideline reporter, like a

992
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: Julia Morales of the Astros or a Sophia Minnert of

993
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: the Brewers, or you know, like people that are there

994
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: every single even even though National comes in and takes

995
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: over the postseason games, They're still they're doing their jobs

996
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: doing all those things. So I'm not talking about like

997
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: random folks that just come in and, you know, cover

998
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 1: four games of the season. Yes, I get a ring,

999
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: but I'd rather have the money.

1000
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 2: No, that ring is that ring is? That ring is super.

1001
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: Between between a ring that's in the safe because it's

1002
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: too big for me to wear, or a playoff share.

1003
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking the playoff share. Guys, come on now, you.

1004
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 2: Can't show off your money. You can show off your ring.

1005
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: Oh you can show off money. You can show off.

1006
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 2: A lot. I mean list all due respect. What was

1007
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 2: that Kanye song? I ain't saying she a gold digger.

1008
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 2: I just said you want the money. He just said

1009
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,240
Speaker 2: you want all the money.

1010
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: I do want the money, and.

1011
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 2: After eighteen years drives off with the kids. After eight If.

1012
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 3: You ain't seeing a lot of that play Alta in

1013
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 3: Sacramento Alta, Non Sacramento, Boston Halla.

1014
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Alana, time out of slap hands. And this is

1015
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: where we're at in life. Tim Healy had this to say.

1016
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: Alex Chorus said on W E E I that Roman

1017
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: Anthony walked on the treadmill for twenty five minutes. His

1018
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: oblique is still sore. Yesterday he told me it was

1019
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: a great walk. Chorus said, this is where we're at,

1020
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: you guys, I mean Anthony. Roman Anthony obviously was such

1021
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: a jolt for that Red Sox team and now they

1022
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: are behind the Houston Astros as far as that wild

1023
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: card spot is concerned. This is not good. Aj Obliques

1024
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: hamstrings are tricky calves. You mentioned it. The stinks, Yeah.

1025
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 3: Toasted stinks for the Red Sox. They need them back.

1026
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,919
Speaker 3: They'd to be a nice piece to have to get

1027
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: back and stinks. He went down, But get better. Hopefully

1028
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 3: he get better quick. They can heal quick too, though,

1029
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 3: I'll say that. But the problem is can you get

1030
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 3: enough swings somehow because you got to get some game

1031
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 3: like swings before you come back from this, because you

1032
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: don't want to have it happen again.

1033
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: Chris, did you have a bleak issues ever. Oh that's good.

1034
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 3: I did something to my rib one time, and I

1035
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 3: know that hurt, but that was like more like intercostal,

1036
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 3: like upper oblique. I've just seen guys deal with it.

1037
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 3: I just I don't know. Let's put it this way.

1038
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 3: I think they're six and ten or five and nine

1039
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 3: since he has gone on the eye.

1040
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they definitely have a losing record without him, There's

1041
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: no question about it. And you're having you know, you

1042
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: want your postseason chances hanging on the balance of a

1043
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: twenty one year old. I mean that's not that's not enough.

1044
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:07,799
Speaker 1: All right, Kratz hats? What do you got? I'm going

Speaker 2: If I had some college hats, I would wear them. Ah.

1047
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: He used to astros need to they need to turn

1048
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 3: it around. I'm not saying they're going to get caught,

1049
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 3: but they need to turn it around. And what do

1050
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,080
