Are the Mets already taking calls for Freddy Peralta? Pete Alonso’s dig + Pads checkup w/Marty Caswell · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There was some juice from the weekend spreading rumors. We're
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: going to start with John Hayman writing about Pete Alonzo
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: divorcing the New York Mets in the off season. More
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: like the other way around the that's saying, nah, we're
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: good Pete. So the title of the article is maybe
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Pete A. Lonzo had a point with the sharp dig
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: at David Stern's flipping formulas? Did you see this? So
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Pete told Sterns when they were conversing at a Tampa
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: club meeting. Right, it was. It was Steve Cohen and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Stern's And this was before last year though, right, this
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: was the year before that, but this was kind of
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: leading up to that divorces. Yeah, he said, when my
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: career is being evaluated for the Hall of Fame years
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: from now, you'll still be fiddling with your flipping formulas.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Only he didn't say flipping. That's what John Hayman wrote,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: word for word.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I love it. He's right, he looks really good.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Right, you're worried about a formula, and you're worried about this,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: You're worried about that.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: How's the formulas working out for him?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: You're also able to I mean, everybody uses for their
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: background data and proprietary this that to evaluate. That's all good,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but sometimes you got to just look on the field
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, that's working for us. This dude
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: likes this place, hits here, probably would take a little
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: lesson to stay here.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, his friends love him, he's an icon, he's the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: all time leader and home runs beloved.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So I'm saying, brings a little lightheartedness, brings something to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the table. Yeah, to situations. So I know he got
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: off to a slow start, but now he's started to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: pick it up, and I'm not concerned. You know. Yeah,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: first year you switch teams and try and do too
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: much whatever. But the OPS is already in the mid
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: sevens and I'm sure we'll be on its way to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the eight hundred plus. Yeah, first time switching teams, they
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: damn short for first.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Time switching teams. A little bit. I'll say this.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I had this conversation with Boba Shat in New York
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: this year, first time he's ever switched teams.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: It's a lot.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: It's a lot.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Not only do you is it because you're switching, and
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: especially it's even more when you get paid a lot
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: of money. Is a big free agent. Now, if you
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: get traded, it's it's still hits you because you're like, man,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that team didn't really want me, But at least the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: team I went to does. When you're a free agent
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and he signed a big contract, then you're even more
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: because you're saying, man, they really wanted me. I gotta
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: perform it. I got to outperform what I've done. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: usually takes guys a little bit a while first time.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: For these guys it is. And hey, the guy who's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: handling some first base lately, Mark Dantos is really starting
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to heat up too.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: But I mean he had a couple of good games.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a point stands not a scad. The point well
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he just gave him. He won them a game or two,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: but he want.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Them to get Friday night game. Yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah, no,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I he can't just be him.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: No, it can't be him. And again, still they could
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: use Banto San Pete and they can figure it out.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: It's just the construction that the team has been a mess.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And so that leads us to the next rumor. This
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: was from one of the Chicago radio stations. They were
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: saying that there were already conversations going down with the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Cubs and the Mets on trade talks. It's very early.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Apparently a few gms have spoken publicly saying that the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: trade conversations have gone down way earlier this year. And
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we saw Patrick Bailey just get moved. Mets aren't trading
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Freddie pearl to this month, but could they trade him
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: in June if they're fifteen games under?
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Absolutely think there'd be some other guys they'd want to
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: move first.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Louise Roberts.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, wait, no, the crowds are too big and wait no,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: they're never going to all that. Ye, so now he's hurt.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Wait no, what was it? He was so excited. I
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: actually made this joke with Mendy. He did think was
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: very funny.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well, that's because it's not going well. But no, yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: they The rumor is, obviously the Cubs are going to
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: talk to any team that has a starter since they
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: lost a few and they're on freaking fire and every
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: other facet of what they're doing. So they're going to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: ask the Mets about Freddy Clay. They're going to ask
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the Marlins about Sandy if he's available.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Council knows him too. Council knows Freddy very well. Yes,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: this has Milwaukee days. You look good in that cubby blue.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: But I don't want to see.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: It Freddy personally, I don't want to see it. Yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: but if Freddy doesn't agree to an extension with the Mets,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: takes two to tango then, and the Mets are not
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in a good spot. He's getting traded, so should Clay Holmes.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: And both of them are pitching well and you can
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: get a lot for them. This is going to turn
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: into a different version of it. But remember the Mets
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be sick, and they had the super apparel,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and then they traded Verlander and Scherzer. This could be
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: that they could be as Ken calls it, the bell
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of the ball. Those are two playoff starts.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: What other options could they trade?
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Most of the rest are are not tradable. I mean,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: if you just go through the lineup.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Card Robert, by the way, they don't know when he's
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: coming back.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Who lindor Lindor he's got the bad calf issue. Apparently
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Soto had the more minor one. I always say this
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: on our show. Some guys miss a lot of time.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: The calf can get really tough.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Simon is not tradable. I guess, a guy, do you.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Really want to trade for a Mets bat?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying. I mean, how about bullpen guys.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, Devin Williams isn't tradable right now? Ever's not
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: doing great.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe one of those two catches fire and
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: then becomes.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: But they didn't they sign multi ye deals both, I
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: think so, so they're not going anywhere.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Williams isn't getting traded. He's getting paid a lot of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: money too. That's a tougher deal. No, the two prizes
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: could be Freddy p and Clay. And yes, some people
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: were trying to dispel this and be like this is
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: super early. People are just throwing it out there. There
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: might have been these conversations go down NonStop, right Teams
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: call like it could just be a call like, hey,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: who could be available if you suck in June? And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: then they're like Clay and Freddy, Oh what if they
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: were available? What are you thinking? You know, this is
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: how teams prepare for the trade deadline, so they don't
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just show up and they're going, wait, which prospects.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Do we want?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: But the fact that we're even talking about This is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy, don't you think. Yeah, yeah, early trades
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: do happen. This is very early.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: But I'm just I'm just trying to think how the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Mets can get back into this. I just don't know.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Because the Phillies are now playing better, so that really
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: puts a damn. I mean, the Cubs are going to
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: make the playoffs, Dodgers are going to make the playoffs,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: and the Braves unless the disaster strikes, are going to
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: make that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So there's three already.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So you have two from the Al East, you have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers and probably the Padres from the NLS.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Five already, and all the teams is the control are
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: above five hundred.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: All of those one of them probably will withstand the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: summer and be good. And that's.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Times. Yeah, I don't know. I just don't know how
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: The question I always have is do you see this
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: team making an insane run? Right like?
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Not the way they're constructed right now?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I don't either. I don't see it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Unless something really changes, unless Lindor comes back and is
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: on fire. Robert comes back, is on fire. That's what
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: we got, atleast Robert when he went, when he got hurt.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: He wasn't doing very well either. He got off to
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: a great start and then.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He just went the deeper. You get into a season
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: like this, you have to start playing like ninety eight
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: win ball right on that pace during like this shorter timeframe,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and it gets really challenging. That's what happens here. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: is it impossible, No, with the amount of wildcards we
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: have these days, but it is not likely. So that's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: why you know what we do. We cover the trade
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: deadline very well with all of our insiders. So stay
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: tuned on that front.

• 9:01
  Speaker 1: host Mary Caswell joining us right now. Absolutely fantastic on
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Friar Territory and catch one of the latest episodes that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I was listening to with Ty Frantz on there. Marty,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: great to see you. How are you and how was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the weekend for the Padres.
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: The weekend was saved by Nick Costellano's thanks to his
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: two out, two strike game, tying to and Homer the
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: ninth inning, saving what would have been an absolute disastrous
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: weekend for the Padres. In which they only mustered what
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: fourteen total hits against the Saint Louis Cardinals, which is
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: like their worst they've ever had in a four game series.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: So they got the win, which is the most important thing, man,
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: But the same questions still exist when it comes to
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: the Padres offense. It's just remarkable to me that here
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: on May eleventh, twenty eighth in team batting average at
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: two twenty three twenty seventh and o ps twentieth and
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: home runs and Fernando Tatist Junior. Excuse me if it
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: sounds like ground Groundhog's day is still looking for his
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: first home run. So they split with the Cardinals, which
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: is good news, but Manda, same questions still persist about
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: this Padres offense.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Marty, which set of eyes do I look into when
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: I'm talking to you? Did you wear that hat on
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: purpose to confuse me?
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: I know, I love this. It's a Monday, this is
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: my Monday hat. I'm having a terrible, really really bad
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: hair day today. So this is the Padres single, a
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: affiliate the Lake Elsinore Storm. We're just a couple of
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: weeks ago. I saw Lucas Gilito make his first rehab
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: start for the Padres. But you can look, you can look. Yeah,
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: right here there we go. I love this slogan. It's great,
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: isn't it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it just confuses me. You know sometimes those Polish folks,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: we get confused easy.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: So I.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Work, how are the Padres doing this? I mean they're on,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: They're right there with the Dodgers. I know their pitching
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: has been really good, but their hitting has been inconsistent.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: I guess it would be a nice way to put it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Tatis says, zero homers. You look at the lineup, Machado
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: wasn't off to a great start. So are they just
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: doing this literally with pitching and timely? I mean Nick
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Costianos I was an epigaet bat yesterday.
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: It was an epic at bat. You know, that's a
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: great question. How are they doing it? I think Craig
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Stammon is looking for those answers as well when we
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: ask him, you know, daily in postgame, like how are
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: you guys doing this? With the offense is bad? And
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: I know Tatis gets all the blame or all the
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: attention because he has zero home runs and one hundred
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: and forty plus at bats, But but Mana Machano is
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: off like the worst start of his of his career.
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: He's only back in what one ninety one right now.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: He had been over twenty four, over twenty for his
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: last twenty four. They're not getting any production from the
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: big three that you're expecting to really carry this offense.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: Tatis Jackson, Merril Manny Machado combined two twenty one average
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: with ten home runs. They're getting it from their bench
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: pieces like Nick Castianos in a new role with a
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: timely home run yesterday. Gavin Sheets has had some big moments,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: Miguel Andrew Harr who's getting a lot more playing time,
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: Ty France who's taking over at first base. That's how
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: they're doing this, and they're getting it with their pitching.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: They have us, you guys know, the best closer and
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: base on, Mason Miller. The challenge for the Padres has
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: been getting a lead to their bullpen. Jeremiah Estrada is back,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: he sets up, you know, Jason Adam and Mason Miller.
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: So if you have a lead, you feel pretty good
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: with the Padres. They just haven't had that as of late.
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: But Scott and aj if you had told me before
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: the season that at this mark, the Padres wuld be
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: twenty four, sixteen, twenty four and sixteen tied to the
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: Dodgers in NL West. I think Padres fans would take it.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: The concern has been the offense has been unconvincing because
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: you can't expect your bench to carry you throughout the
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: course of the season. They've had the second easiest strains
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: of schedule in baseball to this point. They'll have a
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: tough series with the Brewers coming up, then to Seattle,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: then home versus the Dodgers for the first time, and
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: the Phillies. So they've got to figure it out offensively
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: because you can't expect your bench to be your biggest
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: strength moving forward.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Marty I tay what Craig sam is not doing. He's
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: not looking for a reason. He's just enjoying the ride it.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: He's not looking. Do you ask him, how are you
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: doing this? He's like, I don't care. We're just winning
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: games and let's just say to it. So, yeah, baseball
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: people are weird, we're crazy, we're kind of superstitious a
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: little bit. To trust me. He's not looking for answers.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: He's just like, we're just enjoying the ride.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we're finding away his Exactly what he said yesterday
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: is we're finding a way to win these games. And
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: he says every single day we're gonna hit. You know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: these guys are too good not to hit, so we'll
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: see what happens. I will mention this is kind of
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: surprises me that as you're looking for production, you want Merriwell,
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: you want Manny, you want these guys to couldn't carry
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: the team. But a guy they've missed, which is surprising
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: is their catcher.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Can I look the catching position?
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Aj Luis Camposano was given his first real chance to
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: be an everyday guy or a platoon guy with Freddy
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: for Meen Craig Stamman, you know, had a lot of
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: faith in him and he was really productive. So a
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: bit of a hit when he has a he fractured
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: his toe last week. He's on the il. We know
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: that Jake Quinniworth is on the concussion list as well.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: So the Padres have some pieces out there that maybe
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: will impact this lineup. But they're finding a way. There're
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: somehow they're finding a way because they are getting just
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: enough production from their bench guys and you're hoping that
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: one of these days their core will figure it out offensively.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: To me, Marty, I think the identity of the Padres
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: has shifted. Last year, this team didn't have much pop,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and now we have a season where the bullpen looks
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: dynamite right and starting pitching wise, even at the back end,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Walker Bueller putting together and I starts. Randy Vasquez, what
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: he's done to transform his career has been cool. Giulido's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: coming soon, Michael King's been great. So we're adding up
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: all of these names on the pitching side, and I'm like,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: is this team just a pitching identity organization at the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: current timeframe? Even though there are notable names in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: lineup card, it's not like it's just you know, the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: first couple months of this season. And obviously Machada wasn't
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: like this last year. Tatisa wasn't like this last year,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: so some of that will come along. But as we're
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: looking at some of the ranks, it's like they're towards
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the bottom. So even if they get into a better place,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I still think this is like a pitching team, a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: team that wins by pitching and maybe just enough timely hitting.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Like you're mentioning, it's Scott.
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: So much conversation leading up to this point was that
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: the Padres we need to go ahead and add an
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: arm right if they want to go ahead and be
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: deep playoff contenders. You can never have enough starting pitching,
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: especially when you know Nick Paveta's on the injured list.
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: No idea when he comes back, when or if he
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: comes back. Same for Joe Musgrove. Michael King has been
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: I mean he's he's his own harshest critic, but he
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: is showing that he can be an ace. Ranny Vasquez
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: better than anyone expected, except maybe his pitching coach, Rubin Diebla.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Walker Buehler yesterday probably had what Stanmon said was his
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: strongest outing of the season. Bueller only gave himself a
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: B plus set for him, he's mentally in the right place,
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: but he's got a lot more to go. Giolito I
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: think could join the Padres this weekend when they are
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: in Seattle. So yes, they they The pitching has been
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: a bigger strength. I still think that right now a
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: bigger point of concern is going to be offense. But
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: to your point on the identity, I think that the
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: Padre's rotation has big has been a more pleasant surprise
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: than anyone expected. We already know how good this bullpen is.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: So they have that's actually a position of strength. Might
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: be their pitching. You can have enough starting pitching again.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: We don't know what to expect from Lucas Giolito and
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: his velocity when he does rejoin. But to your point, Scott,
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: the pitching absolutely has been has been, has been their identity.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: It's been their their biggest strength in my opinion.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Big dog, you know how it is. Man, We're always hungry,
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: and how do we get our food? We don't want
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: the stuff that makes our bellies hurt. We go to
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Hello Fresh. We find out specifically what we love to eat,
• 16:43

• 16:45
  Speaker 4: the house, old wife. He is happy and the kids
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: are extra happy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I'm good at two things. Cooking is one of them,
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: but not trying to choose what we're gonna have. I've
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: gone fifteen meals so far and they haven't given me
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: one repeat meal. So many to choose from, and they
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: can make it easy for me.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think the best part of it is
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: is for me. I'm very particular. I'm trying new things
• 17:07

  Speaker 2: Where's Joe Muskrove, He's like he has years? Where is he?
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Do we have an up to date on Joe muskro
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: You don't even hear anything about him anymore?
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Well, he's there, he's there. But I know when he
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: joined Darren and I on Friar Territory out in spring,
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: and this I think was before he threw a rehab
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: game against Green Bay and the green Bay GB Great
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: Britain ahead of the World Baseball Classic. That was the
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: Green Bay I'm sorry in football Mone for whatever reason,
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: but that's a last time that Joe Musgrove pitch. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: I think that he was so excited right his first
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: time in real in real game action, and then he
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: had the setback, so He is not throwing a baseball
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: right now. He's not really, He's around the team, he
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: travels with a team, he's rehabbing. But right now there
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: really there was no timeline on Joe, and I know
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: he's frustrated talking about it because he spoke about it
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: so much last season. Every week we say, hey, Joe,
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: do you know do you think that you can make
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: a playoff push? Can you join this team? Where are
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: you in your rehab? But right now, there is no
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: expectation for Joe Musgrove. There is no timeline for Joe Musgrove.
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Stamon's been pretty optimistic that he will return to the
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Padres at some point, but it would be shocking, I
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: think to me if the Padres saw him any time
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: before the All Star breaks. So right now, no timeline
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: with Musgrove and Paveda. I think if you're the Padres,
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: if you're the Padres fans, you have to look at
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: his potential return as an added bonus and added boost
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: to this rotation. But there's no guarantees as to what
• 18:57
  Speaker 6: Joe Musgrove can be when he does return to the Padres.
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: But he's around but not throwing.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: That's wild, I mean, I just remember him being one
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: of the workhorses for whatever a few years and then, yeah,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't pitch much.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: So I mean, when was the last time he pitched?
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: March fourth?
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, like no, I mean in a real game,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: not against the sucky Packers, like in a real.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I mean significant innings. It's been twenty four, twenty Yeah,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: twenty four. He made nineteen starts. Yeah, right, he hasn't pitched.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: He didn't last going almost two years. Yeah, he hasn't
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: made thirty starts since twenty twenty two.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean we're going on almost two years
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: since he's pitched at all.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a minute.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Wow. That sucks.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Getting into like the you know where mccullors didn't pitch
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: for years. It's kind of getting into that territory.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Darvish is done, right, Darvish officially done?
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: Do we know that that he hasn't officially anounced his retirement.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: I actually saw him. He's on the restricted list, so
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: I saw him flee at Peco Park at the start
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: of this homestand so he's still around this team, but
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: he's not doing anything. And there's been a no announcement
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: for him on whether or not he plans to pitch again.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: We know, I mean he's not back this season, and
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: who knows. If there's a lockout, maybe you take all
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: of next season out too. So we'll see his kid,
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: his oldest kid show Hey Darvish. What a great name
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: is that?
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Show?

  Speaker 6: you know, being a dad to his kids and watching
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: his son do his thing.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's made plenty of money. I hope his kid
