  Speaker 1: So essentially PCA and Kyle Tucker combined are just a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: little bit above judges exactly.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I'm back.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: How we doing, How we doing? We're gonna get right
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: to biz today. You guys good with that? Do we
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: have a choice of a choice? No, no, there is
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: no choice. I do want to get right to news.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Let's do that today, okay, and yes, I'm back. We're excited.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Let's charge about.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Let's charge the mound and talk padres. But first, on
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: an individual level, congratulations to Manny Machado who recorded hit
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: number two thousand of his career and he's still got
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of career left to go in my mind,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: so props to Manny and AJ. This is something you
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: talk about all of the time that is probably more
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: important than ever because there is a lack of it
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: in our game, durability. Manny Machado knows how to get
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: on the baseball field when he is not one hundred
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: percent and be a factor, and that's part of how
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: you put together the counting stats like this hits leaders
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: among active players Manny on this list. AJ, that is
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: actually really well played by Claudia and the production staff.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: AJ is I don't have an you didn't retire, so
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: you're at twenty forty three.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I gotta catch I gotta catch Freddy. I gotta catch Freddy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: So Freddie, I'm coming back for you. I'm coming for you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: This is pretty awesome, Manny. Listen. I remember I got
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: my two thousands. It was a big deal for me
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: because it was just a big round number, right, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: round numbers are awesome. But you know, man, he's gonna
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: pass me. He's gonna this is gonna be me and
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Manny's review mirror. He's gonna wave as he goes flying
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: past me right at one hundred miles an hour. So uh,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: it was a big deal for me because I as
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: a catcher to get two thousand was a big deal.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: But for for him, listen, he's gonna go to the
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Hall of Fame. He knows exactly what to do. He
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: hits homers, he gets big hits. He's the face of
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: the Padres. And you know what, congratulations, Manny. A lot
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: of people over the years have said a lot of
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: things to you and about you, but you've always been
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: great to me. And you know what, from everyone I've
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: talked to, you've grown up. You've become a true leader
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: and good for you. So congratulations Manny Machado.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Two thousand hits is so crazy just to hear that number.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: AJ always has that number, like he's got his two
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: thousand hit ball. Like you sit there and you go,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: what that takes. I'll tell you what it takes. You
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: got to be out on the field, not don't even
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: talk about like, oh, he's such a good player. Clearly
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: obviously he's out on the field. And that is maybe
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: one of the most underrated things that people do not
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: talk about. We talk about on the show because there's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: players on this show. It is so underrated because teams
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: really don't value it except when they have it. They're like, whoa,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: this is great when a manager can just pen in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a guy instead of pencil in guys and be like, hey,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: how you feeling. How is this guy feeling to the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: training staff, Oh he needs a day. Oh he just
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: went three for three. Oh he still needs a day. Okay,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Well make sure we get it for him. Like this
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: guy doesn't need a day. When he takes a day, yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know what, he might not bust it at what
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: fans say one hundred percent down the line. You know
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: why that is because he needs three more at bats
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in this game, four more tomorrow, because he's better than
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: any other option that you have to put out there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Bart barn On one of the best players of our generation,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: one of the best hitters, and maybe a top two
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: or three fielder of our generation.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I remember when Peyton Manning, you know, was getting late
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: in his career and there were articles out there about
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: how much money he spent on having a team behind him.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I think he even plucked one of the better doctors
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: out there and just said, hey, you're my personal doctor now,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and I'll pay you what I need to pay because
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I'm making so much money. To a lesser extent, just
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: in terms of how much is being spent, is my
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: guest Manny Machado's got that going. I know that for
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a fact. He's got a whole team behind him, so
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: he's spending on it. I mean, aj, it takes genetics,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: of course to be durable. But let's remember many's had injuries.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: It's just that he often will return pretty quickly, or
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: he'll play hurt and still be effective enough to be
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: better than who would replace him. So I'm giving credit there,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: but I know he's got you know, the whole deal
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: from a personal level, a whole team with him. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: think he even travels a chef, which a couple other
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: guys do. I think Mookie Betts does that. So you
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: have to be rich. But I do give him credit
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: for getting a whole team around him so that he
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: can be the best version of himself if possible.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: If you've got the big.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Contract, you might as well put a little bit into
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: yourself so you can play longer.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Right, agreed. And this is one of the things that
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: has changed over the years is that, hey, you have
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to invest in yourself and in your health. Because guys
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: used to not care about what they ate or what
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: they did or their sleep schedule. They'd just be like, oh,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I can play where now that we're trying to optimize,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: I only play but player best if many Machado has
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: done this, Mookie's done this. There's a lot of players
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: that have done this. So it's cool to see. It's
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: cool to see guys that play hurt because there's a
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: difference between being injured and being hurt. And many plays
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: hurt and you know, injured whatever way you want to
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: look at it, and their soreness. He plays through. Remember
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: he had the elbow surgery not long ago. He kept playing.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: He's had risk things, he said, all these things and
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: hamstrings whatever, you know, lag problems, whatever it is. But
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: he always is out there and he rushes back to
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: get out there because he knows his team is better
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: when he's on the field, and it's great to see.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he tore up his knee really early on in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: his career, right, And I remember he was getting criticized,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: not criticized. They like, oh, I'm worried about him long term,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, don't overlook that he had that injury
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: at such a young age that you can actually recover
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: quicker at a young age, right, I mean, the body
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: obviously is able to heal better.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I remember I remember people talking about like how he
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: stood and like how he ran, like his knees were closer,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and people were like, I don't know if this is
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: if he's going to be able to withstand the riggers
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: at one hundred and sixty two games. Well, either he
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: figured out on his own or somebody when he was
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: at Baltimore was like, look, this is what you need
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to do to stay on the field. And he's done it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He's done it to a t.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yep, hey, let's show the hits one more time here there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: It is just for the podcast crowd listening later on
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman twenty three fifty eight, twenty three to twenty
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: three for jose Al twov twenty two to twenty six
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: for McCutchen, twenty one forty five for Goldie.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: We joke.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: But AJ's at two thy forty three. Rumor is that
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: he's not coming back, but I can't confirm that. And
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: then Manny Machado hits two thousand, so that's your active
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: leaders board. One little correction, Machado homeward later in that game,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: so he's actually at two thousand and one hits, So
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: we update the board with an extra knock. I wanted
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: to bring this up to Aja, your boy you. Darvish
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: is finally back. It's been a minute, three and two
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: thirds what was it, two in runs, five strikeouts, But
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: just good to see him back on the mound and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: hopefully feeling good the next day and then can get
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: back in a regular schedule for them.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: They need him, and Manny wishes they would have won
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: that game last night instead of losing, because I also
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: the game, I got my two thousand hit we also lost,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: So it's kind of a weird feeling because you're excited
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: about getting the hit and getting a number, but then
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: you're like, man.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Be lost.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: So I don't want to celebrate too much because then
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: my teammates are going to look at me as that guy.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: So yeah, but you Darvish being back is a big
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: deal for the Padres. He didn't pitch great, his command
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: wasn't great. The dimeback's did a nice job against him,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: kind of getting his pitch count up, fouling off pitches.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: But yeah, he's a welcome site back.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would need to see him be able to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: attack the zone a little bit more. He was nibbling,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I think, but it also just looked.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Like that's you, Darvish, though, nibble. He's a nibbler. He's
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: a nibbler.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: But it didn't look like his breaking ball was finishing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: It didn't look like like he you know, he tries
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to get ahead with that curveball away instead of just
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: landing it middle. And I think it was like it
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: looked like it was kind of like spinning out of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: his hand and it wasn't. It wasn't where I think
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: he feels like it should be but reality is they
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: need him. They need him not just to be a superstar,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: but they need him to be some type of starting
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: pitcher because they're just low one starting pitching.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, let's do a little player spotlight thanks to Arena
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Club AJ give me a player this season that you
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: think is underrated and you might want to try and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: grab his card.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: James would. I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: National's superstar in the making, and the first slab pack
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: I ever opened had him innut his rookie card, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: the value is only going to go up and up
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: and up. And I'm not going to sell it QUI yet, Scott.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: I'm going to hold on to it because after he
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: continues to hit big homers and put up the stats
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: make All Star teams, it's going to get more expensive
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: for someone to buy. For me.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: This is his first full season in the majors. Keep
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: that in mind. I think he's underrated, He's on a
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Nationals team that's man adding enough attention.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: He might underrated. When he makes the All Star team
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: this year, They're not going to be underrated.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: That helps. He's been intentionally walked four times in a game.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Anyway, If you want to try and find a wood
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Rookie card, go check out slab packs on Arena Club
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and right now you can get twenty percent off your
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: first lab pack. Or if you just want to go
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: with a card purchase, go to Arena club dot com.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Slash f oul, use code foul. If you I sell, trade, collect,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: go for it. Hot Corner is presented by Next Playground
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: and they have a new home run Derby game which
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: we'll show you coming up in a little bit. So
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: let's hit that topic, shall we. Aj Byron Buxton added
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: to the mix. Pete Alonzo gave us some quotes in
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the last I think twenty four to forty eight hours
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: that he's not in. He's gonna enjoy All Star Game festivities.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: So now that the field is set, how do we
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: feel about it?
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Can you show me the field because I haven't seen it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry, you know cal Raley's in m H.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I know cal Rawley, I know a Conya Byron Buxton,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: I know Buxton buck Truck. No Alonzo, which is disappointing
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: because he loves this. But I don't understand. That's one
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: thing I'd understand. You get a day off, not really,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: you still have to show up to the park and
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: take VP and do all the other things. It's not
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: like you just show up and don't do anything. I mean,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Pete's gonna get ready for to play the game, so
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: he's gonna take VP and everything else. So I guess
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: maybe this thing really does tire you.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: No, he said, what's what's that get? You know, he
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: gets the day off, he gets to enjoy it. Maybe
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: he wants to sit and tell some dudes off.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: It's a lot more to prepare for something like this. No,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: age eight, then just take some casual BP on that Monday.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I guess I don't know. I never did the home
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: run Derby, so I don't know, but I'm gonna take
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: your work for.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I doubt it's casual BP.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta get after it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: So I guess I'm saying it's casual BP if you're
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: just hitting that day and then in the All Star
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Game the next day. Those guys probably don't even take
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: VP on the Monday, do they. It's just the Derby.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Guys, Now you take VP, I think.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: So, by the way, there's only four of the eight
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: that have been announced gott so I don't know where
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: the full field. You got set was because I haven't.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I can't find it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: So it's Buxton, James Wood, Kyle Riley and Ronald Acuna Junior.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: So far, isn't it usually eight?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Right? That should be yeah, we got, we got, we got,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: or get on it. Otherwise I'm jumping in because I'm
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: right here in right field. I might just go out
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: there and start whacking, and when Rob Manford, here's the
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: ball coming on my bat, he might have to put
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: me in just for fun as a legend.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Pick moving the fence too. They put out, so.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: They essentially they not here no house.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I'll be hitting it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: I'd be hitting that ball in the A up here
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: that I'm looking at right now. Up there, I'll be
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: killing that A. I'm gonna have to dent that thing.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Get a new A.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: You know who I think needs to get.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: In Junior Camonaro, Yes, did you?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We actually got some bobbles.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: You'll probably have one when you get home, because then
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: they've been on the road for a minute.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: But I actually do have one behind.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Me right now.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I just switched it in a Junior Camonaro. Nice little
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: follow through, can you see it?
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: He's right next to me. He's like the the devil
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: on my shoulder.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Right shoulder, right there, that guy he said, he says,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm in if they invite him. He says he's in.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: How is he not at this point?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: So, by the way, is Matt also gonna do it?
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Because I heard he might be in.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I think that would make sense.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: He's an All Star controversially over a guy like Michael Bush.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: He's a brave mm hmm.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: You could say controversial. My son and I had this
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: conversation last night because we're in the battery about All
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Stars and he's like, Dad, I just don't understand, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: so you know all Stars aren't isn't really a fair
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: pick of things. I'm like, well, Son, you're right because
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the fans picked the first one and the players picked
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the second round like we talked about yesterday, and they
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: picked they do this like a month ago, So why
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: what's the what's the point? Right? Like, what's the I
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: don't know when you do this a month ago? Michael
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Bush and and you know, George Springer, these guys are
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: like players of the Month for June and they're not
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: really included it because you look back and you're voting
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: on June first. Well, there's still a whole month to go,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: so there's got to be a better way to do it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, but this isn't the
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: way for me.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Well, let me get you back to the Derby because
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: we have another participant who literally just announced that he's
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: in the mix. So it's James wood Byron Buxton, Kyle Riley,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Ronald Lacuna Junior and O'Neil Cruz added to the fields
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: so that he can feel something this year in terms
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: of competitiveness.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: As mccussen said in the avatar, he's done an All
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Star though, is he?
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. But who cares? Do we care?
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: No?
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: That's the thing with I think some of the veterans
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: more crats where they're like, oh, I'll go or I'll
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: do the Derby if I.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Get in as an All Star. Otherwise I'm not in.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: I feel like, if you're a younger guy and you
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: get the ask and you feel like it that year,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: go for it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it seems like they're not asking guys. They're
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: not asking guys until now until okay, all the All
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Stars have been asked. I'm just guessing all the All
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Stars have been asked, they've declined. Now they're going to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: guys that aren't All Stars. And to me, if you're
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: gonna do non All Stars, they're gonna sit there. They're
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be in there all Star gear. They're technically not
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: an All Star for the season, but you're getting it's
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a home run derby. It's not an All Star. It's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: not the best home run hitters in the All Star Game.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: It's a home run derby. So open it up. Open
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it up to the non non All Star guys, because
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you want to see the farthest home runs. To me,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and I've said this forever, open it up to a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: minor leaguer. You're leading the league. Open it up to them.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: They have high school guys in between the third and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: fourth round. Let a minor leaguer get in there, see
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: if he can show some dudes up. Just like in
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the NBA Dunk Contest, McClung comes in there. I think
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: we need to spice it up, but I think it's
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: great because we have a bunch of young guys that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: are in there and not just you know, Pete beating
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: everybody up.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Good point for our production team behind the scenes, right
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: now you better repaying attention when O'Neil Cruz is in
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: the home runner.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: But he's got.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: The biggest exit velocity average in baseball. Right now, who's
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: the favorite so far? Out of the five? Who do
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: you like so far?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Dumper?
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, cal Acune at home is going to be
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: tough because the crowd's going to get behind him and
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: he's going to get the blood flowing and he knows
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: this part better. And one thing about the difference I
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: think between a lot of these guys and what Acuna
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: can do. He can go to right center and that's
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: a big deal on home ns. If you can miss
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: balls to the opposite field and they still go out,
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: then that's a huge advantage.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: So Dumper aka Kyle Riley most home runs in baseball
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: has been dreaming about this moment for a while.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Do you guys see this?
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: It was posted I think last night, and it went
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a little viral. Little but yet Big Riley as a
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: kid talking about how he was gonna be in the derby.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'm home on Herbiham, I'm the home readyrby.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: He got wasn't in a contest?
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Was he you go with?
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: What'd you say?
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: The man yeah, oh yeah, uh, I think he needs
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: to bring that song back to.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Truth. By the way, the coolest thing about cal Rally
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: being in this did you see that his dad's gonna
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: throw to him and his brother he's gonna be the catcher.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: His catcher's like his brother's bigger than he is, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: he's like thirteen years old. He's like six five, like
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: two seventy as like a thirteen year old kid. So
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be just she can. And if it's hot
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: in Atlanta, man, that kid's gonna be sweat and he's
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: gonna need you might have to call a twenty second
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: time out to get back off the plate for.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: A minute just for him. Tell him off, t the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: tal the BP catcher off.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's clearly pre puberty cow in that video, but
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: he still looked like a pretty big kid that had
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: a bright future. And now he's putting up the best
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: catcher numbers offensively that I think we've ever seen so
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: far in the first half of the season. I mean,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: he might get himself close to forty home runs by
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the end of the first half of the year. So
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: pretty cool there by Cow. We don't get to see
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: videos like that pretty often. I bet there's a lot
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: of that. Do you guys have any home videos when
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: you were kids talking like that?
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: No?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Nothing like, Hey, my uncle had a video camera. My
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: family didn't have a video camera, so anything that he
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: had he would have had to have saved. There were
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: some good, embarrassing ones. I remember at an All Star
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: game in Little League. I was he caught me dancing
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: in center field in between pitches because nothing was really happening.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: So I was playing in center field and.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: There's a good dance. So if he could, if he
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: could unearth that, that would be good.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Listen, back when I was in Little league and
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: all that, we didn't even barely have video cameras, So no,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: there's I used to have a tabe of me hitting
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: a home run, but other than that, I didn't have
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: hardly any video of me playing there. There was no
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: There was no video cameras. People didn't have those. It
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: wasn't like everyone with their phone nowadays. So yeah, if
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: you can find video of me. Although I was on
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Scholastic Sports America, I remember that show on ESPN back
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: in the day, there's some video of that. Yes, I
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: was Scott.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Wait wait, we have video of that.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: It's gotta be on the internet somewhere. When I was
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: in high school, my senior year, ESPNP did a thing
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: on me.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, have you seen the video since that time period?
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: I mean it was thirty ninety four, so thirty plus
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: years ago. I mean I've seen it, but I haven't
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: watched it. I know there was some line had in
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: there where someone made fun of me because I said something,
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: but I forget what it was. But it's so long
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: ago you'd have to really dig back in the beta
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Max to find it.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: We've got some SPEN contacts. We could shoot some notes
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: and work on it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Very cool.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Guy who said the interview Dan Something, Dan Dickerson, Dan Something.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Oh there you go. Claudia just pulled it up. That
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: was past yeah right, I mean Claudia is a genius sometimes.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: But the guy then was in Salt Lake when I
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: was in Triple A. So he's like, you remember I interviewed
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you a couple years back when you're on SSA and
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, yeah, how you doing So anyways, yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: there's video and you just pulled it up. Oyeah. That
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: was a young stud back in the day too. Gosh,
• 19:28

  Speaker 2: Get after it. Here's some questions off what we just
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: talked about.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Daniel said, why not just have the player of the
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: month for June be put on the team automatically. I
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: think he's talking about the All Star team. No, Daniel,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I mean what if the player is the worst in
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: baseball in April and May, and then they're the best
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: in June.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Do they deserve to be an All Star?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: No? No, you can't just do that because what if
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: they were injured the first two months and then they're
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: hot in June. I mean there's a million reasons why.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: That's a creative thing, but not very smart.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: You mean like Alex Bregman missing half the first half,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: but players voting him.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: In Chrisillechrisale has been out for a Jon't now.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: The player vote is stupid.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: I know I wasn't on yesterday for snubs, but they've
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: got to pay more attention. They're getting beat up by
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: the fans. If they're going to be that nonchalant about it,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: in my mind, then just give the fans more of
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: a voting opportunity. Agree, crap, So the players really care
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I think of anything. It kind of shows that some
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: of them are not educated on the entire league at
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: all times, which is fine. They're playing their own games.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: They're worried about themselves and their own teams.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, there's a lot of guys that are like, I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: don't ever watch baseball outside of my team, so they
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: don't know, and that's fine, but it also shows that
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: you want to make an All Star team, you have
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: a good first month and a half. I'm talking first
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: month and a half. That's what I'll sit in people's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: minds and when those papers come out, they fill them
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: out and they're like, oh, yeah, his numbers were better.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah sure, Breggy, Oh he's hurt. I didn't even know that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: We didn't even play the we didn't play the Astros yet. Bro,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: he's on the Red Sox. Oh oh okay, yeah, there's
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: that too. I've heard it all. I've heard it all.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: We're back to check out some power rankings, not from us.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: We've been having fun dissecting what the athletic puts out
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: there on a weekly basis. So their theme this time
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: around is the preseason playoff odds versus where these teams
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: are at now. And this is from the Fangrafts playoff odds,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: which are just odds. Remember last year the Tigers had
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: awful odds at one point, what was the number, like
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: one percent, point one percent, whatever it was. It was
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: insane and it was much later into the season than
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: we are now. So there's hope if you're not on here.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: But the top ten all is above the fifty percent
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: mark for current playoff odds, including the Brewers there in
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the ten spot. They were a preseason thirty five point
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: four percent playoff odd Currently they're at sixty point nine percent.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Tampa Bay was thirty seven point seven percent entering season.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: They're at sixty eight point eight percent. But if you're
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: listening and you can't see these, I'll just read out
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: the top ten for you to understand what the athletics
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: putting out there, and then we'll get AJ and Kratz
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: to comment on what they like and don't like. Dodgers won,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Tigers two, Phillies three, Cubs four, Astros five, met six,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yankee seven, blue Jays eight, Raised nine and the Brewers ten. AJ,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: what do you like and don't like?
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: I like a lot of this. Actually, there's not money
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: I don't like. I just don't know how the Yankees
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: are head of the blue Jays right now, and the
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: blue Jays are three games in front of them in
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: the standings three and a half actually, so I don't know.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I can't figure that one out. But in the end,
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: the blue Jays just swamped the Yankees. So other than that,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, for just playoff odds, I like all of these.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: I like kind of right where they're at. But the
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: fact that the Yankees are ahead of the Blue Jays,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I don't get that one. But the rest are pretty good.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: I still would rank the Dodgers, Tigers, won two, Phillies,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Cubs right there, and yeah, the rest is pretty self explanatory.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: But that's only one that I have to question, because
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the Blue Jays are ahead of the Yankees with a
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: little bit of a gap and not a huge gap,
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: but there's a gap. And with Schmid going down and
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: some of the other pitchers where they're at, things are
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: gonna have to change for the Yankees.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: That's where you might be able to find a little
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: bit of value. I mean, if you think the Mets
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: are the team that they are recently, or they were
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the team that they were at the beginning of the year,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: that's where you know you can you can find some
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: value if you're thinking about future things. But to me,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: like the Brewers being up there, the Brewers are a
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: game and a half behind the Cubs right now. The
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Brewers starting rotation, if you're only going starting rotation, is
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: one of the best and most unnamed in the National League.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Like obviously I think the Phillies starting rotation is the best,
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: but each one of these teams has deficiencies. You sit
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: there and you go, oh, man, you know Phillies. Phillies
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: don't have any you know, they have two guys over
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: eight hundred ops right now. Okay, Well then the Dodgers, Well,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, they don't have a starting rotation. Well, a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: bunch of people are coming back, so that should be fine.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: It's all these things that these rankings. To me, the
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Tigers may actually have surpassed the Dodgers. They don't think
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: so when they ranked it here, but to me, they
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: may be the most complete team when you watch them
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: night in and night out.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Dodgers had won what was it, eighteen of twenty one
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: before they were swept over the weekend by the Astros.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Mookie BET's not playing his best ball really so far
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: this season in general, if you look at the hitting line,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: they've been missing glass now for most of the season.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: They're big pitching offseason signing Blake Snell looks like he's
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: going to be back soon, So I wonder how much
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: they're banking on them not having a complete team but
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: guys coming back. I could make the same case with
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: the Astros, though, aj they swept the Dodgers over the weekend.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: They've got like four or five starters that are very
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: close to returning. Jp Frantz one of them who could
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: be a very effective starter. Who else I know, Christian
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Javier is getting close, Luis Garcia is getting close, and
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Spencer Araghetti.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: M But the Astros have helped serve very nicely. I mean,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: the Astros have a six and a half game lead,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: six and a half game lead over the Mariners, the
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: team most of us thought was going to be pretty good.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the Tiger have a fourteen game lead,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: fourteen games. They're in the playoffs. That's it. You can
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: put them in the playoffs. And the Dodgers, I mean,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: their lead's only six, but I mean, I'm pretty sure
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: we can put them in the playoffs. But yeah, the
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Astros have done an amazing job. Dana Brown's Executive the
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: Year Joe Spott has got to be manager of the
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Year right now. So yeah, the Astros are what they're
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: doing is.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. Last note here, because I don't think
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: we'll have time for it later. The Rays at nine
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: have been a huge surprise. They've got a lot of
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: road games coming up. Shane McClanahan could return for this
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: team in the second half of the season, starting to
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: get himself going. I mean, I believe I got to
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: look through the history, but it was the nerve which
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: they didn't know about at first. They found out about it,
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: and that's why it's taken him way way longer to
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: come back. But yeah, he started a rehab assignment today
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: in Port Charlotte, tossing an inning with a walk and
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: a strikeout, phase four batters.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: There it is. This guy is right.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: He's a top ten pitcher in baseball when he was
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: pitching for them a couple years ago in his prime,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: a cy young candidate. So we'll see if they get
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: that version of Shane McClanahan, that could be a huge
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: difference maker.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: For the Rays.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: And I'd like to see them do a little shopping
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: at the trade deadline.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: They dumped.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: They sold hard last year at the deadline because they
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: have to do stuff like that, or they feel like
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: they have to do that on the turnover side. If
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: they don't have a high percentage of making the playoffs,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: they're in a good spot. They should go for it.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Raise World Series in a minor league ballpark.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: Nah, we've talked about that.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: You had time to ask Bruce Meyer about that. I
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: wish you would have time to ask Bruce Meyer about
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: what happens when they do make the playoffs and make
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: a deep run. Where will they play? That would have
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: been one of the questions I had to ask them,
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: but we didn't get to it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Miami's a lot. I'm telling you, Miami is the spot.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: But anyway, we've talked about that. If you want to
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: look it up, if you're watching on YouTube later on,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: you can type that in foul territory crats. We talk
• 28:47

• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the better outfields? This just posted by a bet MGM.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: We'll collab with it on nine. The Cubs or the
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Yankees matching up in this one. So you've got Kyle
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Tucker and Aaron Judge, Pete k Armstrong and Cody Bellinger,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Seya Suzuki and Trent Grisham Suzuki I know can also
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: often d H, but for the purposes of putting the
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: three best outfielders there and say, I'm playing some outfield
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: this year, this is what we're rolling with. Man, I
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: feel like this one's actually pretty obvious this year. But
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I'm not even gonna say who I feel is the
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: obvious side.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: AJ, what do you think.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: The Cubs? Duh? I mean the Dimingo is also you
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: got to I mean Domingo's you know, you didn't even
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: put Ian happen there, right. I mean, if you go
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Ian Hap Domingos, you go through all four because Bellinger
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: plays first sometimes. So I mean this is easy for me.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Cub PCA is an MVP candidate, says Zuki leads the
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: league in RBI is going into yesterday, and Ian Happ
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: is really good. And Kyle Tucker we're talking about getting
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: five hundred million dollar contracts. So to me, this is easy.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: This is the Even though Trent Grisham is having an
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: unbelievab year, I still think this is an easy pick.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Cubs, right, Cubs, Yes, Cubs, Oh yep.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: No easy easy.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Tran Grisham had a Tran Grisham had an unbelievable first month.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I mean his it was propped up by that, and
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: he's kind of come down to earth. The other three
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: guys have been consistent the entire season. I mean, the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: other the guys for the Cubs have been consistent the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: entire season. And I would say defensively, the Yankees outfield
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: is better. Those three are better. But like AJ alluded to,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes just old do Mingas is out there, and that
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: downgrades their defense. So he and Happ I think he
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: want to go glove. If not, he was a finalist.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: So it's the Cubs overall outfield. But I can't. I can't.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if I wouldn't mention Judges war again
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: it we're not big fans of war, But what is it?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: What is it? Seven point three? Seven point eight?
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Seven point one, Yeah, seven point one.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Although PA is four point eight, and there's two war categories,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: fan grafts and baseball reference. PCA's four point eight, Kyle
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Tucker's at three point nine says Azuki two point two.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: So essentially PCA and Kyle Tucker combined are are just
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: a little bit above Judges.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Exactly good one there though. That's fine. I like that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: But MGM account holders are going to get in any
• 32:19

  Speaker 3: Gambling problem more concern called one eight hundred gambling.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: It was I got bored because you know, I like
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: to be involved in everything. You know, Pitcher and catcher
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: were always involved, and I couldn't pitch.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: I was too wild, So.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: You know, I just asked to go mine and play,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: and then I've stayed there ever since. I like to
• 32:53
