• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Everybody know Scott again on foul Territory today, which means
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a better day always. When Scott's out.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Scott's probably doing bicep curls as we speak right now,
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Lucky Cratzy, I mean, he's probably he found his super
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: medium shirt and he's just standing in the mirror going
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: like this over and over again until it gets a
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: hurt neck. So Scott, we hope your neck feels better
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: after you get done with your bicyp curls, and hopefully
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: your shirt will actually fit still, even though you don't
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: have any to fit now. So before we get into baseball, Cratsy,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you have your USA flag on top of your hat.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about how bad that game was last night.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: And by the way, I don't know whether you like
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Dave Portnoy or not, but I have one thing to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: say about Dave Portnoy. He's a USA fan and also
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: he kind of summed up my feelings on soccer at
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I watched the Premier League.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: I'm a Tottenham fan, this and that, but every four
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: years we get hyped up that this American team is
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: going to be the one that finally gets through and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: finally does this, and finally does that, and then they
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: play a team that's worth the crap and they crap
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: all over themselves.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was close.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I felt like we talked about it last night because
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: there was a lot of It was a party with
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: a lot of people my age and their kids who
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: played soccer. I played soccer all throughout high school. I
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: hadn opportunity I could have played in college. I would
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: have played at a completely mediocre level, similar to baseball.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: But in two thousand and two, when they make it
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: to the semi finals, you go, wow. I'm a'm twenty one,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: twenty two years old at that point, and I remember
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: them saying my whole life growing up playing soccer, soccer's
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: getting huge. We're going to be one of the big
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: contenders on the main stage in the World Cup for years,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and two thousand and two they did it. They were there,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: and I was like, wow, and here we are, twenty
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: twenty six, same place, easy path to the round of sixteen,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: hope and pray you make it to the semi or
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the quarterfinals, and really just a poor showing losing three
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to one to Belgium, who I think is probably aging
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: stars right now. I get it, where the ranked in
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the count, in the nation, or in the world right now,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: but I just feels like we're still steps steps behind
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: now women's soccer, women's soccer is huge. America's doing it
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: in women's soccer, so there's that. But we're never gonna
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: come close to Germany France. I think France has like
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: seventy eight French people that are playing in the World Cup.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Just the dual citizenship things playing out.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, it was.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Four to one because Lukaku scored at the last Oh
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I forgot.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He came in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Just to just to dunk onto the US's face in front,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: and then he gave the he gave the who to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the fans and the whole coogan.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I can't hear you whole thing. So, yeah, you're right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, at one point we thought, hey, if we
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: could get our best athletes to play soccer.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet, and it's not gonna happen for
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a long time. I'm sorry.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Christian Polisics, you're supposed to be
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the man we're gonna need.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: To broke still. But before he broke his toe, he
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: was Belgium's best player. Sorry, every time he got the ball,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: he gave it back to the other.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So listen, whatever, I don't know enough about soccer to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: really get into it.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We don't have enough time. We got a lot more
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: important stuff to talk about. Like Ben Rice has announced
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that he is going to be in the home run Derby.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Now we know, as former players and people that watch
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, crotzy, this can ruin a guy's season.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: So are you surprised the Yankees are letting Ben Rice
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: do this? Because honestly, he's been their healthiest best hitter
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: all year.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can't, you can't. You can't put that one.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You can't put that on him. Two Yankees fans are
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: in a tough place right now. They won their slitler start.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: This video, though, is epic for people who aren't watching.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: It's Ben Rice getting flipped to by his dad and
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: he's posted it on Instagram. So check out Ben Rice
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: twenty two on Instagram. And he said this was their
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: first practice round. So does that mean his dad's throwing
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to him? I didn't fully read that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Probably I think so, But also by that angle of
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: that video, he was hitting home runs. Look like behind him,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So he's training to be a cricket player.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Who knows. Yeah, I don't know what that video.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We got to clean that video up somehow, but yeah,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Ben Rice is in the home run derby. I think
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: if you can read it here citizens Bang Ballpark, Dad
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and I are hitting the home run derby. Swipe to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: see our first practice round. So I'm assuming that means
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: that his dad is going to throw him like you said.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: And then Cam Schlitzler chimed in and personal gatorade boy here.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I hope the regression doesn't get Cam when he's given
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: out gatorade, and especially if Ben Rice keeps advancing in
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: this thing. But I think this is great. We need
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: he's a star, like people would say Judge Stanton, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: in New York people know Ben Rice. And this is
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: how you promote young stars of the game is by
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: getting them to do their signature event. The main signature
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: event in Major League Baseball is the home run derby
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and the All Star Game, and he's going to be
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a both and he gets to perform instance Sinnatti, excuse
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: me in Philadelphia in front of a large audience.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Who would you have had throw it to you? If
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: you were in the Big League Home run Derby, did
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: you have like a coach or somebody that you were like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: this person throws most money VP for me to be
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: able to win this.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: We had a guy named Mike Gellinger who was.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Of like a coach that was he wasn't He was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: like an assistant hitting coach before there was an assistant
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: hitting coaches. And then he kind of he still works
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: for the White Sox, but he would he was money.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody wanted Frank Thomas hit off Gilly for
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: years Kinerko hit off Gilly. It was like, oh, we
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: want I want Mike Gellinger to throw to me. And
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: then when I got older, Eddie Perez when I was
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: with the Braves, Edie everyone he threw to Freddy for
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: years and everyone's like, oh, I want Eddie Perez to
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: throw to me because he just he had that catcher's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: arm where he was like short and it was a
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: four seamer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It was right over the top and it was like perfect.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Every time people think we're talking like no way, no way,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: you know the person, it's a hundred. I don't know
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: who you're talking about, but I remember watching he threw
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: to frank In when he won it in Pittsburgh.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Correct, probably, yeah, I'm sure he did.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: If you go back, people need to go back and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: look at that. For the home run derby, he threw
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: from the mound. They put turf on the mound. Whoever
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: threw to frank I don't know if it was him
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: that year, but in Pittsburgh he was throwing from the mat.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: It's something you we just don't see anymore. But a
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: good BP thrower is like gold. They create positions for
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a good BP thrower. Well, they get now.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: They get rewarded if they go to the home run
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: derby and the guy wins, right now, they get a check.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, if Bryce Harber wins, he's probably cutting his
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: dad a check for what ten dollars or something, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: twenty dollars. Maybe might give dad, I'll pay for your
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: dinner tonight.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Hey, golf, it's ten percent. You tip your caddy ten
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: percent at least so of your winnings. Just saying, just
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: saying for everybody who's out there winning it a million dollars, but.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: A Todd tip.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Next time Todd's on, you need to ask Todd what
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: he tipped his VP thrower. We gotta, right, we gotta
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: because does he get like one of the bats, the trophy,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you know, the trophy, So does he cut it in
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: half and give him half the true because his trophy,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you work? Does that thing glued together and his brother
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: actually has the other half?
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like a friendship, like a friendship necklace that comes together,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: and yeah, they have to cut them together.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And put the bats together. Yes, exactly.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: So congratulations ben Rice, good luck in the home run derby.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And by the way, you only get foot forty swings
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: or forty pitches or your VP thrower better be twenty money.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty twenty twenty swings.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I forgot the new rules are all? They
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: changed every year, so I got to I read up

• 8:40
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go, Cratzy. It's an everyday thing.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Now on the show, we talk about the Mets. We
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: have to talk about the Mets. We can't just have
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: a show on foul territory and not talk about the Mets.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Why because they're the Mets. I mean, Freddy Parol to pitch,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Freddie Pearol does now calling his own pitches, He's possibly
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: going to be traded.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, does this make a difference to you?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Because to me, like a guy calling his own pitches,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: does that mean that Francisco Alvarez, I think he or lose.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Trenz whoever caught him yesterday, wasn't calling the right pitches before?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Or was Freddie Peerulta saying the guys will William Contreras
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: and Milwaukee was calling better pitches for me than And
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that's why I'm struggling.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Is this just an excuse or is this a real thing?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know it's a real thing. You know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: it's a real thing. He even said, he said sometimes
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: in a pit as a pitcher, this is Freddy's quotes.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I like to follow my instincts. Situations in the game
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: don't allow us or give us enough time to think
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: or to decide on one pitch or the other.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So I had it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: So I had it there talking about the pitch Colm,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: just in case in any situation, if I had if
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I had the trust in one pitch. Yes, he said
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: at the beginning, this isn't about the catchers, this isn't
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: about the pitching coach or anything like that. But then
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: he on the same breath he said, well, I have
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: to be convicted in what I throw, so you know
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: as well as anybody, AJA doesn't matter what fingers I
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: put down. If the pitcher isn't convicted in it, we
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: got no shot. So he didn't trust something that was
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: going on. He didn't say Luis Terrenz, he didn't say
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Francisco Alvarez, he didn't say the pitching coach. But he
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: didn't trust the pitches that were being put down. So
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: it was clearly a problem. He didn't believe in it,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: and he had so in my opinion, every pitcher needs
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: to be able to shake off. Every pitcher needs to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: be able to have a pitch com for themselves so
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: that they get the pitch that they're like, I'm one
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: hundred percent behind this one.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Even if it's the wrong pitch. But okay. But then
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that goes back to my original question.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: When he was on Milwaukee, we didn't hear about this,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So does that mean he believes contreras Or and or
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: whoever the other catcher was in Milwaukee was doing a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: better job a of being prepared, be calling the pitches.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Or maybe it's an organizational thing. The organization was better
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: at it than what the Mets are. So then is
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: this an organizational thing? Because I mean, he didn't pitch
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: great last night, I mean foreign he only went four
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and two thirds. It's like you went out and went
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: seven innings of shutty? So is that's more of my question?
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Is is I understand it's the thing? Because listen, pitchers
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I called their own game. Go get them, bro. If
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you if you give it up, you can't blame me.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: It's the easiest thing in the world to do. And
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you know this crutch and I know this, and we've
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: been through this pitching coaches and pitchers, they give up hits.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Why'd you call that pitch? Right?
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Hey, call your own game. It don't matter to me.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I'm just putting down my best suggestion. If you don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: agree with it, to throw whatever you want. And if
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: it gives hit and you only got one person blaming
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: you got, you lose the excuse when you call your
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: own pitches.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: And I'm all for it. As a former catcher, for sure.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: It's just like shifts. You can't you can't turn around.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: And why, oh man, if we were playing our second
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: basement at the same spot that everyone else in the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: whole league plays their second basement, but you could have
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: moved them if you knew he was gonna throw, if
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: you were gonna throw a pitch that he could hit there,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: you could have moved him. And so I think fred
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Obviously I played with Freddy when he was in Milwaukee.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: This was his rookie year, so I got to see,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: you know, how Milwaukee evaluated his stuff. Stuff changes, but
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: stuff doesn't change this drastically in my opinion, unless he's
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: dealing with something in one year. So to me, if
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: you're a team right now and you're looking at Freddie
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: p as a possible team that you want to you
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: want to acquire him as a pitcher at the trade deadline,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: to me, I think you just look at the usage.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I think he's pointing you in the direction that, hey,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you know what.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I kind of feel like I'm a guy that threw
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: a lot more fastballs and cutters, and this year I've
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: been using my slider, my curveball a little bit more
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: than I usually do.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I understand they're trying to make me the best, and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: I understand that David Stearns is here leading this ship,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: but it hasn't been working so good for him switching. Ultimately,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: it's his, it's his career, as it is with anybody's.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: But I just don't see the same dominant Freddy p
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: And I thought last year I thought he was taking
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: that next step to like be go from a number
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: one to possibly an ace if he would continue in
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: that direction, and he took a step back right now.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: By the way, the strikeouts, ninety of strikeouts in one
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: hundred innings, that was a thing about Freddy Prolty. He
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: always has struck out more so that's that's that's the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: biggest thing that I see when I look at that. So,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: whether it's pitch usage, pitch selection, whatever it is, But
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: then what's his trade value? Is his trade value as
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: high if the Mets decide to go in this direction.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I mean there's teams out there that would love to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: have Freddy Parolta. I mean there's a you could go
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: name a starting name, a contending team. They'd all love
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: to have a Freddie Perlty. Takes them all every fifth day.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They know that he can pitch in the postseason, they
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: know that he will well you think that he'll get better.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe another change of scenery will clean it up. I mean,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of things. I feel like that Freddy Parolta.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: But will the Mets.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Make that move?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I think they should because they're
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: not winning the division. Even if they get in the postseason,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: they're not anywhere. I would I would think that David
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Stearns would be willing to make that move. Or do
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: you try to sign him to an extension and say,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you know what, we'll give you five years to stay here.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: No, No, I mean that's that's the thing David Stearns
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: has been staying away from is extensions. And I mean
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: he brought he brought in a guy he knows. So
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I think this might have been the one person that
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: you're like, Okay, maybe they do give somebody seven years
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: a pitcher seven years, because they haven't been willing to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: dip into anything longer than three years so far. So
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: but David Sterns knew him, so he's like, ah, maybe
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: it would have been But I don't think so. Now,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any way they can bring Freddie back,
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: and I think basically they're gonna trade him. Obviously I'm
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: not the insider, but it's either you get a first
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: round pick for him or because they're going to have
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: to give the qualifying offer, and if it continues to
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: go this way, he's not he may accept a qualifying offer.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but they would get a first round pick,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: so I think they'll get higher than what a first
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: round pick is valued at right now.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I just think some team that knows what's.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Going on understands that his usage is is not completely different,
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: but definitely skewed a little bit from where it was
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the previous three years. I just think they're gonna find
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: value there. So I think the Mets will hold off
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: to the last possible second, but somebody's gonna come calling
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: with a with a nice little package. All right, real quick,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: before we get to ken and discuss more trades and
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: everything happened in baseball, Luke Weaver traded or not?
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yes or no? Would they trade him? Yes or no? Yes? Okay,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: what about Bashett Bobashitt? No, No, I don't think. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: don't think that.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think they find the value for him in basically,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: you just be dumping his contract. You know, the team
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: would have to know while I'm not locked in for
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: the rest of his contract, like I think there's I
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: think there's too much. I say no to Bobashett even
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: though he's hot since since June. But I just don't
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: think so.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Crouch.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: You see this yesterday Mike Burrows against the Nationals four
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: and two thirds, ten runs, seven earned, two walks, three ks,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: eighty three pitches, ninety to one point nine average exit velocity,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: worst start of a brutal first half. It's fair to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: wonder if he will get another one. His ERA is
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: five point ninety nine. Doesn't this sum up the Astros
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: though they just can't find enough starting pitching or pitching
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: in general. They've been scoring runs and heck, the Nationals
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: hit the over all the time, so I mean they
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: score runs in they give up a ton of runs.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: But doesn't this kind of sum up the Astros need
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: for pitching and will Dana Brown go out and get
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: the pitching he needs because.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: They're in it?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I think it sums up the route that Dana Brown
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: and this front office went and it didn't work out.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Burls had like one hundred innings last year with the Pirates.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: He was a guy that was like a one to
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: one strikeouts per inning type of guy for the year.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: And that's down. He's leading the league in losses. He's
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: given the most earned runs of any pitcher in the league.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: I just think, I think if there's a move made,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: I think it would have been made sooner had a
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: lot of the other moves not worked out. Am I
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Hunter Brown's missed most of the season. Now he's back.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Spencer r Geddy like you, you saw Mike Burrows as
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: a guy that was like, Okay, this could be a
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: nice piece. Oh, I wonder if Ami is gonna do well,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: And it just wasn't that solid rotation that Dana Brown
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: maybe had other years, and they just kind of hoped
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: on this rotation and Mike Burrows was part of that. True,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: but they're only three out of the division.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, how are they How do they continue
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: their guy? How they are they hit? Hunter Brown's got
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to be their guy. That's a lot you can do it.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Book In summertime, it's cool in the morning, hot during
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: the day, cool again at night. Rarely am I sitting
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: there going, oh, I'm just gonna do one thing at

• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Jeff Passen, Connor Griffin tore A Tendron is left ring
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Finger Sources tele ESPN Well Griffin could play through it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: It rehab is the likeliest option. We keep him out
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: at least a month. Pirates already have O'Neil, Cruz and
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Spencer Horowitz on the IL. How big of a blow
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: is this for Pittsburgh Eric, I mean, he was playing well,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: he was starting to figure it out. He was playing
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: really good shortstop and the play he made it on
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: was a really nice catch over his shoulder going back
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: against the Nationals. How big of a blow is this
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: for a Pittsburgh team that's trying to hang into the race.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Massive?
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Massive, just because they need his offense, which he's learning,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: he's starting to get, just have better at bats, make
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: better swing decisions.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: But you can't lose a guy like this at shortstop.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: So I get it that they don't want to say, yes,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: you know, going to IL rehab for a whole month,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: you already have two of your key pieces.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: This is this is part of the issue.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, very few teams can deal with their shortstop
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: going down, let alone the twenty year old future feenom shortstop.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: But I know the Pirates also needed to think about
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: more than just this year, So I get it.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: But if he can play through it, maybe it's something
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that we push it for a little bit.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're gonna do that, though. I
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: think they're gonna take their time with because you know
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: how organizations are now, they're not they want to They're
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: thinking seven years from now. They're not thinking about this
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: year and how we might have a chances. Hey, let's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: hope Connor this doesn't become arthritis seven years from now
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: in his ring finger because he's already married so he
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't have to worry about taking his wedding ring on
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and off. Right, So I mean they're just like, oh,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: that knuckles, if that knuckle swows up too big for
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: our threat, it's it'll be fine.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: But in seven years they don't got Paul Skiing. Sorry,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: they need it now, agreed.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Alright, Cratzy, Let's talk Blue Jays baseball right now. They
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: just got stomped over their last three games. They got
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: out score twenty five to one. They're not doing anything
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: very well. They're clearly not pitching well, they're clearly not
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: hitting well. Here it is bluebird territory. Outscore twenty five
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to one their last three games. The Blue Jays are
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: forty two and forty nine. They're eleven and a half
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: games out of the AL East behind the Tampa Bay Rays,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: and they are three and a half behind a bunch
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: of teams in the AL Wild Card.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: How bad are the Blue Jays this year? What has happened?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Dylan Ceese is pitching well, and Ernie Clement's playing well
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and Trey Savage, Yeah, okay, what happened to him? This
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: is exactly why analytics does not like building a team
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: like the Blue Jays. They created what they were last
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: year by not striking out, by putting the ball in
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: play and doing enough damage in big spots.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: You know why else they why? The other reason they
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: were doing good George Springer was getting MVP votes. Addison
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Barger came out of the minor leagues. People knew him,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: but it was a guy that started in the minor leagues.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Nathan Lucas started, Ernie Clement wasn't starting to start the
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: year like guys stepped up up and they were having
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say career years because nobody can play
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: better than what they are.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: But George Springer kind of.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Leading that offense last year, Vladdie having MVP type of
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: year like those are the things that they need to
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: have happen. The answers for this team are in their roster,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: and it's exactly what Gosman said. Gosman said, we just
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: got to get back to consistency and fundamentals. John Schneider,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: their manager, said, we have to start.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: We have to.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: We suck today playing in simple from start to finish. Offense, defense,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: walks damage. Needs to get better and we will get better.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: We're confident that we will. Well, you know what, the
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: American League has allowed you to stay in it. So
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: are they just not good enough? Because Vladdie's not having
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: MVP year even though he's an All Star right or wrong,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: he's still an All Star. George is not having an
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: MVP type of year. So are there are they? Were
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: they a team that got lucky last year or were
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: they a good team that is about to get lucky
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: or about to get better this year?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you can make the argument they just
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: got hot at the right time last year, right, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: had a lot of things to go. I mean, glad
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: he not hitting home for any power is definitely a
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: big thing. They lost bo and you can say whatever
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: you want about bo Okamoto is coming and been okay,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: But the rest of the guys haven't been up to
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: what they were last year. Any Clements really the only
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: one that's been pretty good. Their pitching has been banged up.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Gosman hasn't been as good obviously, Beaver Scherzer have been down.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: You Savage missed a bunch of time at the beginning
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: of the year. Barrios isn't there. The back end of
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: the bullpen Bleue a bunch of saves early. Now, Louis
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Arlan stepped up. They lost Kirk Vealezuela did a nice
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: job for him for a while. They're just not the
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: same team. They don't have the same mojo. I hate
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to say that, just you can't put that, you can't
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: analyze that, you can't put that into a number, right,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: But they had a mojo last year. They figured something
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: out and they got hot, and everybody had career years.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Not everybody, but a lot of guys had good years
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: or great years. And this year they're not doing that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: And that's why they're not in the same position they
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: were in. And plus the Raids are playing much better.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: The Yankees are playing fine. They're hanging in there until
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: they get their guys back. But the Blue Jays just
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: haven't done the same thing. They don't have the same mojo,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: and analytics people are gonna hate that. But mojo is
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: a thing. There is a thing to players and teams
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: having a certain something about them where it just all
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: comes together and you get on an incredible run.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And again, they were this close from winning the World
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Series last year. Is it too late for them?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not, because it's the American League, right, and the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: American League, as we have talked about over and over again,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: isn't very good. So they can go on a run.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: If they win eight Let's say they get to fifty
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and forty nine. Guess what, they're right there for a wildcard?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: That was it too late to win the division?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Possibly?
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: But if they get to fifty and they win the
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: next let's say they go on a ten game winning street,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: which you could see the Blue Jay's doing. If lad
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: gets hot and they get hot, and all of a
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: sudden they're three games over five hundred, we're talking about
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: them like, man, what a turnaround, Josh Schneider manager of
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the Year, right. But until that happens, it's tough to
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: talk about them. Instead we're talking about them possibly selling
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and moving some guys, which I don't I don't think
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays are gonna do. If anything, I think
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: they try to bring in a guy and get better.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, based on their offseason, I would say
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: they're into making moves. They made a lot of moves
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: this offseason and it hasn't worked out. But you know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: you talk about mojo, and they came this close to
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: winning the World Series. They came this close to not
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: being in the World Series, like the Tigers, you know,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Mariners. They should have they should have
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: beaten them in my opinion, but it's one of those
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: things that things in the playoffs went really well. But
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: I think they won ninety four games or ninety three
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: games last year, so it was it was a good
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: team that dominated the Yankees. I just don't see them
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: going into a series right now, or I haven't seen
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: them yet. And they could, like you said, they could
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: do it, but I haven't seen them this year go
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: into a series and say this is our series. We're
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: gonna take this series and then we're gonna go and
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: we're gonna take the next one. They just seem like
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: they really seem like they're suffering from the whole World
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Series hangover. Maybe I don't know, but it's not too
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: late because the American League is just not good.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: If they were in the National League, you could probably
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: put dirt on them. But being in the American League,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: they have a chance and they could run into the
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: right teams and win a bunch of games and next
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: thing you know, we're talking about, Oh, what a great
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: turnaround for the Blue Jays.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Camp.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I've been looking for the best deals for the All
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Star Game tickets in Philly.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Where are you gonna get some tickets from?
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: I'm going straight out to rife field. If Harper and
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: schwarbur both joined the home run derby, I want to
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: be catching the hometown guys hitting them, So I'm going
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: out to the right field kind of where I think
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: I could get the best chance of catching one of
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: those home runs.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe in the second deck.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: You can go on the app and you can look
• 26:51

• 27:29
  Speaker 2: All right, Robert Murray, another FT insider, Ken will be
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: having a feud with him later. We're hearing plenty of
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: talk about Derek Scoogl, Freddie per Alter, Reed, Debtmers and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: others in Rumor Mill over the next few weeks, but
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: one named to monitor. Foster Griffin TFA alumni used to
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: wear my shoes in high school. The Nationals left Handerwill
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: who has a two point eighty seven ERA and eighteen
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: starts this year. Foster Griffin name a lot of teams
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: with life, but the Nationals are alive. Crats, Well, the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Nationals really do this. They're alive, They're live, They're in
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: this thing. Foster Griffin has been great. He went over
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: to you for a few years and he's come back
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and he's been really good for this team.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: He's limited, he's limited, a lot of damage and his
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: striking for a guy that doesn't throw real hard. That
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: would be My only fear is that these analytical teams
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: would say, no, we don't want him so because he
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: doesn't throw very hard, but he eliminates He essentially eliminates
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: hard conduct. It's it's been impressive. But why why are
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: we even talking about Dustin May? Why are we talking
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: about Foster Griffin? Those teams are in it, Like, if
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: you want to talk about somebody, the Blue Jays should
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: trade Dylan Cees like teams that are more out of
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: it than these two teams.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: They're rebuilding and nobody wants to lose their job because
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: they traded Foster Griffin.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: But he's had a great year. Yes, yes, he's listen.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: This is one of those cases where he went over
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: to Japan. He was a first round pick out of
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: high school, went over to Japan, had some injury battles. Actually,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I think he got a Tommy John before he ever
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: made his big league debut, and then he went over
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: to and figured it out and came back and he's
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: learned some It's Miles michaelis right.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Went over to Japan or Korea.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: They go over to the Far East and they have
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: to figure out how to pitch a different way than
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: what they've been taught, and then they come back and
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: they're successful. It's a great story for Foster Griffin.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Jason do Mingez the Martian denied an ABS challenge because
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the umpire wasn't looking when he tapped his helmet. I mean,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: we've seen all kinds of ridiculousness with this ABS stuff.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Kratz I like ABS in general. But umpire blinks and
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: he misses the guy going like this. We got guys
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: getting ejected for fake tapping their helmet. We get guys
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: doing I mean, come on, umpires, be better. Just ask
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: your buddy. Hey, mister umpire at first base, did you
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: see him do this? Yes, okay, then that's challenged.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Not Oh no, I didn't see it, So come on,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: let's be better.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Stuff comes up. Obviously when this first happened, they're like, oh,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: what's next. We're gonna go all robo umps, completely against
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: robo umps. But when a situation like this, you still
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: see that they're human. But where were the other guys?
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: You got three other guys on the crew. It's not
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: like high school baseball where the guy down at second
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: base is looking in the crowd at like whatever the
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: umpires look at in the crowd when they're not watching
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: But like, I get it, I get it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: He missed it, he missed it, he did it quick,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: somebody one of the other umpires. They see everything, according
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: to them. Why couldn't they have just said, hey, I
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: did see him get it that in in time.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Because then they they might prove one of their buddies
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: didn't do the right thing. Krutz And we all know
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: how umpires are and real I know, I agree, I
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: agree it should be let's get it. Really, it's the
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: same thing as I don't know if you watch the
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Braves Mets Friday night, there was a ball that was
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: hit that was clearly fair down the left field line.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And we don't have a camera that MLB can put down,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: and you can't replay balls fair and foul balls between
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: the lines or between the bases or whatever it is,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: because they don't know where to place the runners or
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: come on, like if the ball sit down the left
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: field line, it's a double. Do you have the guy
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: two bases and move? But it was clearly the umpire
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: said the ball went the I think a right handed
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: hit or hit it. The ball went around the base
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and then landed back on the chalk. I'm like, wait, what,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I never heard that. So anyways, there's a lot of
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: things that with uh yeah, exactly exactly exactly, I don't know.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: And it was a ground ball, it wasn't it hit
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: hit And then he said it bounced around the base.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: But then you could clearly see the ball behind the
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: base hit right on the line. So unless there's a
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: weird matrix airbender thing that's happening in mid air, I
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: don't know how it did it either, but I hit
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: a ball like found near them that end up fair.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: But I didn't see the play. We got to be
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: able to get it right. Come on, we got so
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: much technology.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: All right, we're back. We're back.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to say because I was supposed
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: to apparently say what we said in the break right now,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: so I guess I'm supposed to repeat it. I guess
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I'm Ron Burgundy because the producer lady put that in
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: the teleprompter for me. So, uh yeah, Okay, we're gonna
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: hear from Jeff Potts about Louis Laura, what to expect
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: for the Brewers, fans with Luis Laura in his contract
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: getting called up, and they're down to nothing right now
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: to the Cardinals as the miss's gun taken de from
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: George Walker.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, oops.
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: The Brewers called up their number four prospect, Luise Laura
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: to the major leagues for the first time on Tuesday.
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: The switch hitting outfielder inked a seven year, thirty one
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: million dollar contract earlier in the month of June, and
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: his fueled speculation of a potential call up over the
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: last thirty plus days. Well Brewers fans. Luis Laura is here,
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: and after an outstanding run with TRIPAA Nashville, where Laura
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: hit three twenty one, four thirty two, four seventy with
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: nine home runs and twenty four stolen bases, he's set
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: to join a very talented Brewers outfield group. Laura has
• 32:56
  Speaker 7: always garnered praise for his plus plus defense in center field,
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: plus plus running ability an advanced hit tool, but with
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: nine home runs in twenty twenty six, Laura has nearly
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: eclipsed his career total entering the season of ten home runs.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: With the added power, Laura is now looking like a
• 33:13
  Speaker 7: more well rounded hitter. While he'll never be a slugger,
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: he does provide more impact and presents a dangerous opponent
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: for opposing pitching. With a plus hit tool, plus plus speed,
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: and plus plus defense in center field, Laura has the
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: ability to impact the game in a variety of ways,
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: almost immediately for the Brewers, and the team showed their
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: face by inking Laura to a thirty one million dollar
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: expenditure earlier this summer. Laura's here.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Let's see what happens, all right, Tim heally our friend.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Red Sox activated Patrick Sandoval. Yes, that Patrick Sandoval from
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the sixty day il. He has lined up to pitch
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: in the second half of this week. I don't know
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: what that means, whether that's Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, for whatever.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: He's pitching this week. Kratz his first game in the
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: majors in more than two years. Alet Gamboa was optioned
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: a Worchester. I know it's Worcester, but there's an R
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: and a C and all kinds of letters in that
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: that they don't they don't accentuate. Jack Anderson was designated
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: for assignment. Patrick Sandoval. Does he help the Red Sox?
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Do we know what we're gonna get from him? Listen
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: they're last place, they're only a half game behind the Orioles.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: In the Blue Jays, they're twelve games behind the Rays,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: but they're kind of in the wild card race.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: So was Patrick Sandoval plus for them?
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, you hope he's a plus or you're not
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: not making all these moves. Obviously, this isn't really about
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Patrick Sandoval's like how he does. He's back, he's back
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. At some point, he'll be back
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues this week. It's kind of odd.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure why you would make a pitching move
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: with two guys because maybe his rehab assignment was over.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not one hundred percent sure, But if he's not
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: gonna start, don't you wait to put him on the
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: roster until the day he's actually starting. But you know what,
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: the front office they know more than me. Yes, they
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: need him. Ranger left his last start. They have no
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Garret Crochet. Sonny Gray is most likely going to be gone.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Like this is an important two weeks for the Red
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: Sox if they truly think they're, as Aj said, fool's
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: gold or if their actual gold will be determined in
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: the next two weeks and Patrick Sandoval is going to
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: get these starts, so he's part of it. So, yes,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: he's huge.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Ye what day though, why don't we just come out
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: and say he's starting Friday or so sometime at the
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: end of the week.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's why put him on the roster.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: That doesn't make sense. Why wait, I know, but they're
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: playing the White Sox, so they're probably gonna get swept
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: just saying at home on the road.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: So it could be. It could be. This could be
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the dagger for the Red Sox. This could be cell.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: Time after the White Sox get done, because you know
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Teal's back. Murakami's ninety nine percent healthy, even though he's
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: got to go on a rehab assignment. Could be a
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: could be a trade could be a trade piece then,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at Patrick Sandoval, any any
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: pitcher on an expiring contract. This is the second year
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: of his two year deal that he signed with the
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Red Sox. Possibly he throws three it starts. Maybe he's
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: a trade piece, all right. Cam Schlitzler didn't hold back
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: about when asked about bouncing back from his last start.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: They want to say there's bleeping regression because I have
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: had one bad outing. So again, it was personal to
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: go out there and have a dominant start and put
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: this team in the right position. Also against the Rays,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I might add, who's the team there behind? And whatever
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: gets you motivated. Listen, if it's some if it's Jared
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Carrabas saying that you regress because you had one bad start,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: then you know what Cam Schlittler good for you? Is
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: someone that played put their hair on fire and looked
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: for any opportunity to get pissed off and play like that.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Good for you, Cam Schlitzler, because now baseball is dead.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: And Jared Caravas they got some to put on their website.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: So way to go Jared, Way to go Cam. And
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: you know what, I love this kind of Stuff's have
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: a little trash talking in baseball.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: Bring it back the more more barking. Is that what
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: you're looking for? Aj more barks. I mean you said
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: it a long time ago. You had to you had
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: to play with that edge. And if that's what makes
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: Cam Schlittler great, that's what makes Cam Schlittler the starting
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: pitcher for the American League in the All Star Game,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: then you know what, let's start fire. Now some tweets
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: that he can see clearly he was listening. Clearly that
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: motivated him, or maybe his last two starts he actually
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: didn't pitch bad. And Jerry Crobbas was just being sarcastic,
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: and you know what he kind of you know, he
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: used it whether if that's what you need, you know what,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: that's what you need. Not everybody plays that game. Some
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: people read that stuff and they get deeper into a hole.
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: Cam's like, no, no, I bring it on.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: I want it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: He wanted to smoke in the in the playoffs last
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: year too, and he's shown up every time.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: I played Golf Day with Oz again and he had
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: a great quote and he said he was talking about
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: handling different players and having players it or this and that.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: He said, you know what, there was one thing about you,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: and he was talking about me that I always knew
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: if I went to you and he would always do
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: this and he would challenge me and he would say
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: you suck or you're not doing this right. He's like,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I knew that you would bust your ass to prove
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: me wrong, no matter what it was like, if it
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: was whatever it was, I was like, screw you, I
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: am going to prove you wrong. And it is going
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: to take all my being to prove you wrong. And
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: that's what that's what Camp. If that's what Cam Schlittler needs,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: then hey, I'm all for it. If that's what Dalton
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Rushing of the Dodgers needs, Hey, Dalton, if that's what
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: it takes for you to get a walk off hit
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: against Colorado is to get in the guy's face who
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: ties the game, You be you, Dalton. This world is
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: full of people that are different. Whatever it takes to
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: get yourself motivated and be a good Major League baseball player,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I am here for it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Just as long as that stuff doesn't get in the way.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: That's the biggest that's the biggest thing for people who
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: don't agree with Cam reading what Jared Carabas is saying,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: or Dalton chirping at everybody or mouthing different things and
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: like playing it a certain way. If it gets in
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: the way, then people are gonna be the first. Oh,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: then then all we gotta jump on top. We gotta
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: jump on this guy. You know, no way he's he's
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: doing that. You know what, he's successful. Cam's successful. Play
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: with that edge, and you know what, have the best
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: career you.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Can have agreed, agreed all right.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know. I don't know what else. But
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: by the way, cratch hats today. I can't believe you'd
