  Speaker 1: How the hell is s gooble verse scheme's not happening?
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: How is it not happening? It's not like it's different
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: days from the people.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, Hey, it's gonna be a good one today. I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: got that feeling. We're gonna start with a question. You know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you can still use super chats on YouTube if you're
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: watching us live. If you don't know what that is,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: google it. But there was a super chat sent to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: us that we didn't get to yesterday. So I told
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Daniel we would get to it, and it's free a
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: J he said. I was hoping that this could get
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: answered by AJ. I would love to know about his
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: process as he prepares you like this to announce a game,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and if that changes in the postseason. What's your process
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: heading into a game?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Well, I watched the games during the week. I try
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: to Oh yeah, I mean the dang. I got Royals
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: padres this week, so it's hard to stay up for
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: the padres. What we talked about this series, I just
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: did and cowhard and he talked about that, and now
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: I just because you know, there's been a beanball war
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and guy's throwing at dudes and all this stuff, so
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: which has been great. It's been great for baseball because
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: people are paying attention to West Coast baseball so and
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: then the Royals just haven't been playing very well. So,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: but I try to watch the games going into it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I try to figure out who's going to be the
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: starting pitcher, watch their start the five days before, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: then carry it over into it. Usually watch the home broadcast.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: And then there's articles that are sent to me. You
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: read up on every team and then also listen. I
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: do foul Territory every day, so I also have a
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: pretty good head start on what's going on, not only
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: with every team but also in the league. So if
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: a game gets out of hand, we have that. And
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: then every every before every game, I'm sent a packet
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: from a guy that I have and it's basically a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: page on every player on both teams. Yeah, you got
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: it through research, and you read through it and you
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: do your lineup card and you do your whole thing,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: and then you sit down and you pick a couple
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of things out of that. You concentrate obviously heavy on
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the starting pitchers because they have to talk about that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: But you sit there and you go through and you
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: pick a couple of things like Oh, they're this guy's
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: going getting thrown seventy sliders in this game today because
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: he's hitting twenty seven on sliders. So guess what, They're
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: gonna throw him a lot of sliders today. And then
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: you have stats to back it up. But I'm not
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: a stat heavy guy at all. I'm a I'm more
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of a what's happened in the game, and let's talk
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: about situations. But there's a lot more that goes into it. Yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: manager's meetings, as you know, Skuy, you sit down with
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: both managers, talk to him. You get to go in
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: the locker room, you get to go on the field
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: for BP, talk to guys, try to get a little tidbits.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: But there's a lot more that goes into it. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: think the people think you just sit down.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: You just go It's hard.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: I did one. I did one college game. AJ Do
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: you tip your stat guy? Like, is it like a
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: klubby where like he got all that stuff for you,
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: so you have to like fire him a fifty after
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: the game or does that not happen?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: No? Because actually the stack so it's it was Rick
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and nobody was gonna know this is Rick Krajuski is
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the guy's name, he's Joe Davis's he's he's Joe Davis's stacked.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: And when I first started doing games, I was with
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Joe Davis all the time and Rick, so we became buddies.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: And then he says, oh, you know, you want me
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to do stats for you? When I when Joe became
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: big time and I stayed where I was, He's like,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: you just to want me to do staff packets for you?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm like yeah. And then so I was actually
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: paying them to do them. And then this year, Go
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Fox Fox is picking up the tab. They hired him
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to do all their games, so now I don't have
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to pay Rick. So I got a huge pay raise.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And then when we do other games like the Saturday
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: have Orsilo as my partner don or Solo. I don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: know who he's using for stats, probably Mitch Smith I
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: think his name is, but that's his normal guy. Right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So if I do a game with Benetti or Adam
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and me, and we have a guy named Ed s
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Fieda who is a bigger Phillies fan than you, Kratz.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: He is the biggest Phillies fan in the world. He's
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a great guy, right, huge Phillies fan went to Nova
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: huge Phillies guy. Oh like the Pope. Oh like the Pope.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: But everybody, everybody thinks he only wears white Sox hats.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: He actually first wore the Villaan Nova hat and then
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: they start taking pictures with white Sox hats.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: So let's stay on track. I think he's just a
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: white Sox.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I agree. I mean he chanted white sox. He chanted
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: white Sox to the crowd. You know, is Villanova Villanova
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: baseball fan huge huge? Yeah, they haven't had baseball anyways,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: So so like no answer your question is no, I
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: don't tip the guy because most of the time they're
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and then I have and then I have another guy.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: This is this is where, this is where it gets strange.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: That's strange. I have another guy who I worked with
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: during COVID when I had to go to studios in Orlando,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: that would drive here and do the games and he
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: would sit there and hand me stuff. Yeah, on the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: when I was doing games during COVID, And he still
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: does it. So I get a text at like, say,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the games at seven pm on Saturday night, about three o'clock.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: He starts just and he's great. His name is Jeff.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: He just fires me info. He's awesome. Pages on everything.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: You'll see it on your text during the game.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so you have text me stuff during the
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: game about certain things.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: And that's live Allen stats. Yeah. Sometimes it works with
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: the race, right right.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: So there's a bunch of people that you can place
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: around you to help you thrive and give as much
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: info as possible because you can't track that stuff during
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the game, and trends pop up and then it's worth
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: bringing up.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot that goes on.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Cards and the hands of cards. Yep, the hand of cards.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Oh this, you know this. This team is one for
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: twelve with runners of score. And then you hear the guy.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: I would be your stack guy one game and I
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: would just hand you all the wrong if the team's
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: one for twelve, would be like, hey they're eleven for twelve,
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: and just hey, hey, I didn't say it. AJ said it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Then he'd throw me under the bus and be like, nope,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: it's not me.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: I'm never be Then you get fired.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You you don't know when when the stack guy gets
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: something wrong. Oh they feel it. Oh yeah, oh man.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: The stack guy messes up. You're the Twitter the Twitter
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: blows up. The Twitter blows up because there's times where
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: something might not be a I don't know, there's some
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: certain things that are might change quick and he might
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: hand his stats. Something happens yes, and you're like, oh,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: this guy one for twelve and then they get a
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: hit and you're like sorry, two for thirteen.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: You're like, uh, it's like what people just Yeah, I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: had that time to time on the games. Mostly I
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: would have it when I was doing studio shows, the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: one solo when I was at MLB, because all we
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: did was talk stats twenty four to seven. So we're
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: ripping dozens of numbers every few minutes. Right, it's just
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: stat stats, statstat So if there's one thing off, all
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, I get Twitter mentions. Actually, I'm like, cool,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: we just talked about two thousand stats in two hours
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: and we got one nine hundred and ninety eight of them. Right,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I think we're good. This one's easy for us to
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: talk about. I'm a huge fan of Hunger Root. They're
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: delivering groceries that we want and groceries that we didn't
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: know we want but we want.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they every box that I get from Hunger
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Root has a new snack in it. Then I'm like, oh,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: this looks interesting, and then I try it, I'm like, oh,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I might need some more of those. So they're great
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: at not only getting the groceries you want, but they
• 7:06

• 7:09
  Speaker 3: you needed.

• 7:11
  Speaker 2: There's like a chocolate pudding thing where I'm like, I'm

  Speaker 3: Before we get into anything else. Because i know we've
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: got to charge themround here, but I got to ask
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: you guys your opinion on this. The Tigers game is
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: about to start. They have a double header against the Fire.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is important. I know what you're gonna ask.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: How the hell is Scooble Verse Schemes not happening? How
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is it not happening? It's not like it's different days.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Like I understand, you know, oh, they want to try
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and win one.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: But for the people, for the people, can we make
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: can Rob Manfford call them up and say, Bob Nutting,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: can we please pitch Skeens against Schoolble? Hey, aj Hinch,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: can we please make it? Come on, man, like this
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: is a matchup everybody in the world. Make it the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock game, put it on ESPN, and everybody.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Pick me, pick me. Okay, here's my pitch.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: If I was commissioner and I was actually friends with
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the owners and the players, and I had respect from
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: both sides, I would actually do that. I would call
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Schooble and Schemes and say, hey, I know you guys
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: get to pick when you're pitching, but could we make
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: this happen? And I guarantee you, knowing both of those pitchers,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that if you called them and asked them right the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: day before, they would say yes, unless there's something going
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: on behind the scenes, some little injury, or they really
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: feel like the.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Same day make a difference.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: I know, it's not like they had to move days.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: All I have to do is one stone at one,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: one stone at seven.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think that they're not focused on that cratz.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Their teams aren't. The league would be it is the
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: perfect phone call for a commissioner. If it wasn't a
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: CEO and it was a commissioner, your thoughts.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: I mean, why the NBA. The NBA allows people to
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: do load management. I came in to watch Lebron play against.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Yanni different different.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, then this isn't a management. They're both pitching
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: pitching today, but which team is punting on a win?
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: Tigers don't even have somebody, you know, who's pitching for
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: the Tigers. Forty seven and twenty seven, that's who's pitching
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: for the Tigers. They want to make sure they win
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: one game. They know Paul Steins is given up. I'll
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: run in the last eight starts. They're looking to win.
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: They're looking to get the best record in the American
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: League and lock up a number one seed in the playoffs,
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: guaranteed win terror Scuble versus everybody except Paul Skins.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think that Schoogle didn't get the option to
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: pick game he wanted to pitch in.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: I do?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Do you think he called schemes?
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: It was like, yo, Skeens, I want to fight against
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: I want to play against you.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I think they just said, hey, Terrek, which game do
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: you want to pitch in?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Okay? And do you think they said the same thing
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: to Skeens? Well, he needs a little more vet than Skiens.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So I don't know, but.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. You're saying, Kratz that they
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: want to take one game strategically.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Cool.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I get that, But was it their decision or do
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you think that the Tigers asked Schoogle, do you want
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: to pitch in game one or game two? Because if
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: that's the case, then that means the Tigers aren't really
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: strategically lining up one pitcher for one game and one
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: for another. They're going to their ace and saying which
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: one are you more comfortable with? And if that's the case,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: and Schooble got a call from someone he actually liked,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: then I think that he would consider making a matchup
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that we all wanted to see.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, school Schoobol. Listen, there's one thing about Trek Scoogle.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: He not afraid, no, give me like that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I'll match. He's like, I'll take Skeens. Yeah, let's go,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: it'll match. It'll be talking trash, laughing plays the whole time.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: But that's exactly But that's exactly what a manager and
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: a team is there to do. Scooble would pitch nine
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: innings every game. He would never pull himself out of
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: the game. As a team, you're trying to strategically make
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: sure you come out of a doubleheader with one win,
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: especially with one of them being against Skiens.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I get it. The Pirates don't win. Skeens is lights out.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: You get this win, then you go and try to
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: take on Skiens in game two. I don't think they
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: try to not place them together. But I think the
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Pirates too. The Pirates don't want Skiings going up against Scooble.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: They're like, crap, if we go up against Schooble, there's
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: a chance we lose this game. I'm just saying how.
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying how either of those pictures both of
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: those pitchers, they would want to go eighteen innings against
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: each other.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: It would be the best competition. I agree with you,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I'm saying as an organization in the team, I think
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: that's how they're looking at it. If you're the Tigers, though,
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: If you're the Tigers, the Pirates are irrelevant.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter. Their season is over. Ap season's over.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Before it started, Okay, so listen. He he's having a nice
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: start to the year for Okay, But if you're the Pirates,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: if you're the Tigers, if I'm the Tigers, if I'm
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: a J. Hinchen and Scott Harrison, I'm looking at this,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: who do we have a better chance of beating Skeens
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: with Scooble or bullpen.
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Day Schooble Noah, you can think, you think.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: If you're the Tigers, Oh, we can beat Haney no
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: matter who we pitch. Not no offense to Andrew Heeney.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: He's doing nice. But if I got to go against Skeens,
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: guess who I want to match up against my best
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Let's go. I'm with you because there's a good chance
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Scooble could shut them out. Maybe someone runs into one
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: off Skeens and they score one.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I bet you aj Hinch said Trek, which game do
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you want? And it just didn't match up where Skeens
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: got to pick which game he wanted. And this could
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: be settled if there was someone who's looking at the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: bigger picture, who makes a phone call and at least tries.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: They don't have to make them. I'm just saying it
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: would have been cool to give that a shot. When
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you look back, you don't get these opportunities often. We
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: do have another super chat coming in hot from YouTube.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: How did you guys decide on what bat to use?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Did you change much in terms of size or brand?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Would guys try each other's bats?
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I used the same about my whole career, so I
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: CE two forty three. I swung up my whole career.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I never switched. I mean Marucci. When I went from
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Louisville to Marucci towards the end of my career. They
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: it wasn't called C two forty three, but it was
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: the same bat. They changed the name because obviously Louisville
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: and Roosier competitors, but I use the same bat. I
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: tried switching once. I've hurt my thumb so bad because Knerk.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: I was like, use this bat and it didn't break.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: That's why Kinerko had thumb problems, hooker because his bats
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: didn't break. Meanwhile, I get a jam.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: That's what you want, Yeah, crats.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I switched.
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: I switched in two thousand and six to an I
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: thirteen because I saw Mike Jacobs absolutely nuke balls all
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: over the yard. Little did I know he was on
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: the sizzy like Francisco Survelli. But I was like, if
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: that bat makes you hit the ball that hard, I
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: went to A thirty four and a half thirty three
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: I thirteen. Last fourteen years of my career, I never switched.
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: I tried other ones out when I sucked, and I'm like, oh,
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: I need to try one of these. But never never
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: in a.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Game about all right, let's charge the Padres and Dodgers
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: are giving us really good theater. These are fun games,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: especially for Will Smith. He loves facing San Diego.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Don't throw him a heater down. Do not throw Will
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Smith the fastball down.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: He almost got him and then he got him.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Was that a change? Whatever it was, don't throw him
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: anything down.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: Maybe Suarez throws like ninety eight percent fastballs and he
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: freaking hammered a change up after he hit a dinger foul.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: Nobody hits a dinger foul than a dinger homer. Will
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: Smith is unconscious right now the whole season, all right?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: So his line against the Padres nine for seventeen, three homers,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: two double seven RBIs this season?
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: This season?
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Better question is why is Donald Rushing starting at all? Like,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: let's just roll with Will Smith every game against Squadras.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Grat's his favorite word, two words, let me play load management.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he went off of too.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: Telling you I think it's the most underrated season, I
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: mean underrated player this season. Like what he's doing, He's
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: not getting enough love for what he's doing this year.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: And and then they bring up I don't know anyway,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: I got it. They want him to they want him
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: to stay. Only only AJ can attest to this. AJ
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: is the only one that played a lot on this show.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Most I ever caught in one game was like one
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: hundred out one game in one season with one hundred
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: and ten games. Will Smith, in my opinion, he needs
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: to be out there a lot. And that is nothing
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: against Dalton Rushing. I'd think they're I think they're hurting
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: his development.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Now here's here's the problem. I agree with you on this, Chris,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: and I'll say this about listen. Say what you want,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: but most catchers do wear out that play every day
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: in the second half. It's just a fact. And it's
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: not even physical. It wasn't physical. It's just mentally for you.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And then you get to the postseason. It almost like
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: your brain resets and you start over. But it can't worry.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I've had good first halfs, good second halfs, whatever, but
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: it always felt like towards the end you did wear
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: down a little bit. But that's fine. My thing is
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: is if you watch the Dodgers broadcast and you watch
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Dalton rushing play, he's not hitting, and he's not it
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: didn't look very comfortable, right, and you watch I watched
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers broadcast and Keros and Joe Davis last night
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: were saying, oh, they just told him just don't worry
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: about your hitting, just catch and be good. And then
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: they brought up the point, this guy's been a hitter
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: his whole life. He's been known for his bat. You know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: harder is to sell somebody that is known for his hitting.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about hitting, Just catch and then you only
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: get at bats once every three four five days. He's
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: never done that in his life. I agree, like you're
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: stunning his growth. But they wanted him there because he's
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: better than Austin Barnes. So it's kind of like a
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: catch twenty two. What do we do? But yeah, if
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: you've never done it, you've never not played every day.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: It takes you some time to get used to it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: It's summertime and if you want to let it all
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: flow out, but the hair is thinning, there is a
• 17:18

• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, he hasn't been great, but seventy three ops
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: plus for a catcher is not abysmal. It's below average.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: It's not what you want. It's forty one at bats.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Let's pump the brakes. The other thing is, wait.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, let's pump the brakes all what.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: If this continues for a while, they will option in
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: and if.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: He ends up being that's not what you want. You
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: should just be scared.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: We should be scared and hold a twenty four year
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: old back forever and keep him in the minor leagues forever.
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: No, he was your third catcher in your organization. Maybe
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: you trade him, maybe you do keep him. To me,
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: they're pinch hitting for him, just like they're pinch hitting
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: for Austin Barnes.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: So what.
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: So why wouldn't you keep Why wouldn't you let him
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: continue to play every day? Is it is very very
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: hard to not play every day when you've always played
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: every day.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: And that's what for how long?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Krats?
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: For how long?
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: How long I play every day and rake in the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: minor leagues before he's allowed to play in the major leagues. Also,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the ops plus the average OPS plus for a catcher
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: for all catchers in the big leagues, my guess is
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: it's like eighty. So he's basically been an average catcher.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: We're not saying he's not doing well.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: You just want him to play every day, But for
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: how long? How long? He's twenty four years old, he's
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: crushing the minor leagues? How long? So if he rakes
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: the rest of this year, will Smith's there for a decade?
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: What do you want?
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: You?
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: But like, please somebody trade for him. I'm st it,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: that's it.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, And that might happen, But for now, I think
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: he'd rather play and develop in the major leagues and
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: they are giving him playing time. Will Smith is going
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to get the load management treatment because the Dodgers feel
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that he has faded down the stretch and not been
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: this version of himself. So they're going to try this
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: out this year and then see if he's the Will
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Smith we're seeing now in October.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: That makes sense. Wouldn't you do that?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you try that if you've seen a pattern for
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a few years, and it's a pattern with most catchers
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: in baseball these days. Look at the numbers from catchers
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: last year in October, even from good kids, they fall apart.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: AJ's not even denied it, and he played every day.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not denying that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: What we are saying is for Dalton Rushing, it is
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: really really tough to get your footing in the big
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: leagues as a young guy. As an old guy, my
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: career was brutal. I had two oho nine in the
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: big leagues. The years that I played consecutive days, my
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: numbers weren't substantially higher. Your production is substantially higher because
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: you can put at bats together. He's now and I
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: had already been in the big leagues, up and down,
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: going through it as an older player. He's now learning
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: in the big leagues to be a bench player. That
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: is where I think they're stunting what he could be.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: I've watched him. I watched his minor league at bats.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: In my opinion, his swing, his plate, discipline, everything that
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: he brings with power and plate discipline. He could be
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: a starting catcher in the big leagues. I don't think
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: you do that to a starting catcher and make him
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: a backup in the big leagues. That's all we're saying.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: He's doing awesome. Seventy three ops plus coming off the bench,
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: not getting your third and fourth at bats in games,
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: I think it is. It's tough on him, and I
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: hope it doesn't stunt his growth.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: That's it, yep.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But they might not trade him, so then you're just
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: asking them to let him rotten the miners forever.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Well, no, eventually you have to make a decision to
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: bring him up, which they did.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: They want him to be.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: They're rushing. You want listen every well, not every player
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: wants play, ready, because I played with some guys who
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: didn't want to play every day, But most guys want
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: to play. Most guys want to play because the only
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: way you get paid is if you play.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: You're Dalton rushing right now. Do you want to play
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: every day in the miners or do you want to
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: be on the.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Freaking NAT get traded to where you can go play over? Okay,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: but that's not an option right now. I'm giving you
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: two which way you want to.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sure he'd say he'd rather be in the big leagues,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: no doubt.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: And also he's not twenty he's twenty four and a half.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: If he wants to have a he wants to reach
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: free agency. He wants to make a hundred million dollars.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Can't do that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: If you are a prospect, you do not want to
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: sit there. For me, I want to always go to
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: the big leagues over the minor leagues. My opportunity has
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: to be in the big leagues. Orlando Arcia had options
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: to go other places. He's in the big leagues with
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: the Rockies. They aren't They aren't a good team for
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: him to be on. But he's in the big leagues
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: for Dalton Rushing. A prospect, he.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Is, he is looking to the You need to be
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: looking to the future. You need to get your six
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: years in the big leagues. So you're a free agent
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: in a mass a lot of at bats and home
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: runs and innings. He's not going on the bench.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: What do you mean he's not doing that on the bench.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: If he's not on their bench, he's in the minor
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: league's getting no service time and he is a better
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: catcher right now than Austin Barnes according to the team.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: I just don't know what you guys want him to do.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: You want him to just sit in the minor leagues forever?
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: What's the solution here?
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: I want the best for his career. It's kind of
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: like telling a pitcher throw the ball as hard as
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: you possibly can and see how long your career lasts.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Or did he request the trade?
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: You can figure out how to make you not. You
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: can't request the trade, so it's a hard That's my point.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: They're not trading him right now, Crats. They're not trading
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: him right now. They want a second catcher who's going
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to play more than a backup catcher, number one, number two.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: They want depth. The Dodgers are all about depth.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: What if they trade him and then in August Will
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Smith gets hurt, They're like, damn, we had a guy
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: who could start and play every day.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Would have been a first division.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: No.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm just so far against you on this one,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: but that's fine.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Agree to disagree. Last part here.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Will Smith, according to Inside Edge three sixty four on
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: low breaking pitches, second best in baseball. Actually, do you
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: know who's first, you loved crabs. Do you know who's first?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Did you see low breaking balls? It's a teammate of
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: his because he hit the ninety one change up.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I heard producer lady said it's.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Pies, right, Yeah, it's Pis.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well Pi, you guys can speak to how impressive
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that is.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: Three sixty four on low breakers.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: You know, I mean, hey, j how many times did
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: you ever go, hey, this guy hits the breaking ball low,
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: let's go slice it high.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Let's let's hang one to your advantage. You know how
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: you do it? You start a breaking ball on the
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: zone and have a breakdown and get him a swing
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: at him.
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Attack them east west, yeah right, attack.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: Him down, No, attack him, attack him down because he
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: hammers the ball down in the so to me, then
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: I'd look for his chase zone. If he chase, he
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: probably chases middle down. Like I think that change up
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: right there by, Suarez was probably trying to bounce it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: Since he throws eighty nine percent fastballs, he's probably trying
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: to bounce the change up, and that's where you get
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: the chase zones unless he chases away. But I know
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Will Smith has good play discipline off he's more of
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: a chase down guy. So that's where you try to
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: expand off of it. You don't not throw it last part.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Overall in this series, first of all, pies got hit
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: Machado staring down at It's fun.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: It's been good theater.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: It's good theater.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Is this a statement series for the Dodgers because they're
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: not even close to full strength? Okay, fine, Actually.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Padres need help right off. More to me, the fact
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: that the Padres need help, whether it's Michael King, you
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Darvish coming back, the Padres need help and a j Peler,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: that's to me is the story.
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: They need a bat or too.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: They need that, and they need some pitching help because
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: their bullpend has been good has been getting whacked too.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, good series.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: Let me think at you think they need a bat over?
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, I felt like this series was an SOS
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: for their pitching. Their bullpen was just they would lose games.
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: Their best pitchers were throwing like they were coming in
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: in one run games that they're already down. It just
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: they need starting pitching. They need it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: You lose three two, you need a bat. They didn't
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: address left field in the offseason.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Profile wait.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: Actually, I was.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Watching Friar Territory at two in the morning last night.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Kyle Blazer was hosting a live from the ballpark and
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, hot take, Braves trade Profar back to Padres.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I know that he's not postseason eligible, but you got
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: to get there.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Why not? I think it's a fun hot take.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Nick Costianos the next Padre.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Ooh, I would take that. That would be fun. We
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: have an update, I know Armand in the chat and
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: a couple others were pointing out that Evan Petsole, who
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: covers the Tigers for I think it's the Detroit Free
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Press we've had up on before. Yep wrote this or
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: really a quote from aj Hinch Today he was asked
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: about the matchup that didn't happen. Ready, here's aj Hinch
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: or here's Hinch. I'll make it really simple from our standpoint.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I went to Terrek and asked him which game he wanted.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: He said the early one. At that point, we're going
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: to lock in Terrek for that game that he can
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: prep for. I don't know what went into their decision.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Why Skeens is in game two versus Game one. That's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: a good question for Don Kelly manager for the Pirates
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: put him on the spot. I'm going to take care
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: of my guy and let the baseball work itself out
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: how it does. I guess I could have gone to
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Terek and said, hey, Skeins is pitching Game two, so
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: you're going to move to game two, and I can imagine,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: while cool, he would have said, I'm going to pitch
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: game one.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not listen. If Gooble wanted to pitch game one,
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: he's going to pitch game one. We know this, right.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: It just would have been cool if they would have
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: matched up since they're pitching on the same day. I
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: don't know what don cal don Kelly handled it right,
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: but it would have been cool if they would have
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: pitched against each other. That's it on a knock and
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: we're not listening. We say this, We're not knocking anybody.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: It just would have been really awesome. Think about it.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: If they could have somehow figured out a way to
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: do Skien school, put it on national TV. It said
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: two of the best young pitchers, one of a SI young,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: one coming for a SI Young, or pitching tonight against
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: each other. People want to tune in. It would have
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: got people talking about.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Baseball, even if it was the day game, and then
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Skien's moves because he's like, all right, Schooble's pitching the
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: day game, all the day game, Okay, even if.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: It's the first game at one o'clock, which is in
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: a raindeler. Right now, throw it on national TV and
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: say let's go.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: I'm with you, man, Hey, we're back. Let's touch on
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: this for two minutes.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Frankie Montas hasn't pitched yet in the bigs for the Mets.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: They signed him the off season. Do a big deal.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: I think it's two years thirty four mil. Youve got
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: knocked out after year one, come back from a lad injury.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He's been awful in the minor leagues. Does it matter?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: And what did they do? Because here's the tweet from
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: Anthony to Como and he said, five more runs tonight
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: what was supposed to be his final rehab start. Five innings,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: five earned, seven hits, twelve of five bra eight homers,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: six rehab addings. Poor results of put Mets officials in
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: a difficult spot. I mean, you got to bring them
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: up and just see at least for one or two, right.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to bring him up. You can do
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: dfam right.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: So you have to bring him up and you're not
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: going to bring them up into the bullpen, so you
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: have to just give him a start. But I mean,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: the Mets have lost five games in a row. It's
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: not going to be easy to win the division. If
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: you're looking at him in the miners crats and you're like,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: this isn't up to par yet, what do you do?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: You try and convince him, maybe to extend it. I
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: think you can do that if you get permission.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have to sign off on it, but
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: how many more? I think you only get one extension.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: I don't know how long he's been down there, but
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: he's made enough starts to me, I'm not that mad
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: because he's throwing strikes. The issue is he's not getting
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: outs in the zone.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: And I get it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Guys are gonna say, oh man, you know, you know
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: these guys did ambush. He's not throwing down in rookie
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: ball like, this isn't the complex league. Like he's throwing
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: against hitters that are much more, much less accomplished than
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: big league hitters.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: So give me a shortly, Hey, we're here, we're gonna
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: go over the Mets Braves Series coming up in a moment.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: This could be the College World Series shot out. I
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: feel like you're our specialists there. Anything good? I mean,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Coastal Carolina looks pretty damn good.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Cousta Carolina's legit. Even if they won in twenty sixteen.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: It's like they haven't done this before.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, they're not a big powerhouse.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: Some money from the regionals came out originally that oh
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Florida's laughing because they got ECU and Coastal Carolina. Original dude,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: they're legit, okay, but forget Coastal Carolina. Congratulations to the
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Shanta Clears. Did you guys watch the LSU Arkansas game
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: last night?
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: I saw the crime that last inning.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: The last two innings were like the craziest two innings
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen on a baseball game. I mean, one
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: team takes lead the net, the guy misses the ball
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: at first to score two runs, and he hits the
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: tying homer to tie, and then Arkansas scores two runs,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: and then it's the bottom of the night. You're all
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: American shortstop, right, This guy's all world gonna be a
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: top probably ten pick too. Hopper right to him. Double
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: play the game's over, he for some reason goes and
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: throws it to third and doesn't go for two. They
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: would have turned to Then the next guy hits a
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: fly bottle left. The left fielder goats it, falls down,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: hits him in the shoulder. Both runs score. Next guy
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: gets the base hit and tips off the guy's glove.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: It was like, this is the It's like Little League, right,
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: No matter what happens in Litle League games, someone's crying
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: win or lose, Like both teams are crying, right, which
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: is like what I felt last night with the Arkansas
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: It was a great It wasn't a well played game
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: because of all, but it was cool to watch because
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: it was oh.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Man, beautiful disaster.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, just sol shout out to Chris sale Braves taken
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: into the Mets so far in their series and so
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: went eight and two thirds shutty, seven strikeats. It's got
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: a two and a half VRA And he gave props
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: to his manager Brian Snicker after the game, like, thanks for.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Letting me dive into the ninth inning a little bit.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: I was so many kid got the last time now, but.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Still it's impressive when you see an eight next to
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a line. Nowadays, I'm like props because we went so
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: long without getting any length to that level from starters,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and I do feel like teams are letting certain guys
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: eat a little bit more. We had the complete game
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: conversation the other day.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Man, he's nasty and he's right. He's as good as
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: it gets. We got to get him back on the show.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: By the way, text him.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Only somebody knew him.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I think that's you're You're our sale guy. Everyone's got
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: their guys. That's your guy.
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Wonderful, Come on, he will come on. You got anything
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: to ad crats.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, he wanted a CG so bad that play
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: Juan Soto play where he just went like El Gato
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: and just pounced on the ball, laid flat out.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: He wanted it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: He wanted a CG. But when Snick came out to
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: get him, you could see he was like, yeah, Okay,
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: I get it, I get it. That's what you want.
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: He has taken over that spot. What an amazing trade,
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: alex Anthonpolis, you did it. Only the Red Sox had him.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: They don't need oh wait, they do need starting pitching.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: And also for the Braves fans that got on Alex's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: case this pass offseason because he wasn't given as much budget.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: He's done some good things. That trade was incredible. They
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: traded Chris Sale for Von Grissom. Chris Sale's the best
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: pitcher in the National League last year and whatever top.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Three this year and signed an extension.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: And signed him to an extension.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Alex Anthopolis has traded in his short tenure as a GM.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: He has traded for an MVP the next year and
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: a Cy Young the next year from teams that Josh
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: Donaldson and Chris Sale like. Yeah, he's made moves that
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: people are like, why would you Okay, oh, okay, good move.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Do a history lesson on his run with the Braves
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: and you'll find way more wins than losses on transactions.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: So props to him.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I just text and go, nice job, bust night. Why
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: couldn't you finish it off?
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: That's so nice of you.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: Let us know if you want to reply to me
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: to say like, hey, way to go great. I mean
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I did start with nice jobs.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got to give him a little agent
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: because you only went eight to two thirds exactly.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I would have got you through nine sailor exactly.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna have time for this elsewhere. But did
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: you see Pete crow Armstrong essentially saying he's not a
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: derby guy, not.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: A home run derby guy.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: He's just in his twentieth so.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: But we have Junior Camonaro ready to go.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Different.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I thought that was really cool by the way that
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: conversation Kratz. He's like, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Tell MLB we called MLB. That's the kind of guy
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: that you wanted. It's not like he's got five homers
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: this year either. He also MLB loves to show off
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: all the stats and the bat speed. He's number two
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: in bat speed in baseball. This should be an easy yes.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: I would have already told him, yeah, dude, you're in.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: As long as you're good to go. You got one
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: of the spots.
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: We could make this a great event. I think we're
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: just scratching the surface. Major League Baseball needs to figure
• 35:32
  Speaker 6: out the home run derby even, like, yeah, just just
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: let not let everybody in. But I think they could
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: make it really awesome. And Kemonia is one of them.
• 35:41
  Speaker 6: I don't think PCA is one of them. And I'm
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: glad he said it. He's like I'll just keep I'll
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: just keep doing my wins above replacement stuff.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: What sucks, sucks?
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: What sucked?
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: Why sucks? Why sucks?
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: Why sucks?
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Why sucks?
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Suck?
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Suck.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: So, if you're listening on the pot, you're like, what
