Reacting to reports: Bo opting out? Philly needs, Marlins shopping Sandy? + Brewers notes w/Curt Hogg · Foul Territory

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Spreading rumors to his the season. We're gonna have trades
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: coming up. We have some trade rumors in here, but
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: let's start with Bob Nightingale's report on Bobachet, who could
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: be traded? I mean it would be an interesting one
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: since he still has time left on the deal. But
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: according to Bob, teams expect Bo to opt out of
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the final two years of his Mets contract, giving clubs
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: like the Phillies a second shot at him. He said
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: it could be a massive gamble for him, considering he's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: owed seventy nine million dollars, He's earning two mil this
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: year after being paid a forty mil signing bonus, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: if he opts out, who will be paid an additional
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: five million dollars. He's making a ton of money this year.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That's how the deal was constructed. Kratz. This is how
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: teams want it. They want lower term right, shorter term
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: deals with higher per season. Bo was off to a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: super slow start. He's on fire lately, although it's a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: quick stretch right now, get a big weekend.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think that he's going.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: To opt out?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Until I read this, no chance, No chance. You get
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: eighty million for two years. He's a forty million dollar
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: player a year for the next two years. Granted he
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: would be thirty years old by the time the contract ends,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: so you're signing a thirty one year old free agent deal.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: But does he opt out because he's like, wait a minute,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: we ain't winning here and I want to win. Yeah, okay,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: that's fine, I'm fair with that, But is he going
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: to get to me? The only way you opt out
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: is if you say, okay, you're gonna get one hundred
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: and forty million in your next contract, Which would somebody
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: be willing to pay him one hundred and forty million
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: to come in and probably win two batting titles in
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: those five years. Maybe I think the Phillies would be
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: excited to say, we offered you two hundred for nine,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: you come back and we'll give you one hundred and
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: forty one hundred and fifty million. Yeah, so that would
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: be a win win for both. But to leave eighty
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: million on the table, I think he's he's just got
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: to continue to do a doing and then I think
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: he would opt out. Yes, he's got to become a
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: above average player, which I think show those numbers. Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: but can we show those numbers. If he's numbers stay
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: where they're at right now. No, I think the biggest
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: thing for me is the strikeouts. He wasn't a big
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: strikeout guy. He's got a lot of strikeouts. Fifty four strikeouts,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: that's big number for him, and only nineteen walks right
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: ops six forty six. He's gonna turn. He's gonna walk
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: away from eighty million dollars with a six fifty ops
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: and a team's gonna pay more than that. They're gonna
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: say it's a bad year. We're gonna hope that he
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: gets better. I mean, I know the last ten games,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: yes they've been great. Sure, But we talk about this
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: all the time on the show. This it goes like this.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: It doesn't just go there's very few players where it's
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: just up here. The whole year it goes like this.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And even with those ten games, those are still his numbers.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: You don't think a team will say, hey, we're gonna
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: wipe out the beginning of this season, a little bit,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: new team, new position.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: That's what his agent hopes. If he opts out not
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: for two hundred million, he would have to be ridiculous, Like,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: I think we're setting the bar at a certain level,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Like I think if he gets one hundred and twenty million,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: if you're like, all right, I can go someplace. That
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: is not what's here. That's This isn't a quote from him.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: This is a quote from rival executives. Like maybe maybe
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: it's bantered about out there, like hey, if you what
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: my question would be talked about?
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, would he be traded?
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Is it possible that a team would say, Okay, we'll
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: trade for you if there's a guaranteed he opts out,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: like we've heard of Hey, he doesn't want to be
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: traded unless there's an extension. But have we ever had
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: one where somebody is traded like, hey, we need to
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: guaranteed opt out, like there's a buyout.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Of the Like I've never heard of that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: So in no way somebody's going to trade for him
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: thinking we might have to pay this guy eighty million
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: the next two years.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: There's no chance you can get a player to agree
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to that because if he goes to the team and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: get hurt, goes on fire policy. But you know what
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, if you say, hey, we need you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to write a clause in that you will opt out
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: after the year, So it's a true free agent acquisition.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: What if he gets hurt in August, he just toss
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: his eighty million away.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: He would never do.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: There's no way.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The whole point of signing those deals the fact that yes,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you get some security on the back end, but you're
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: not signing for seven, eight, nine years that the teams
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: don't want. So you can't have it both ways. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: mean you can try, but that's just not how it works.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: He's not going to agree to that. So I agree
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: it's going to be how do you trade him? I
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: mean you have to. A team could trade for him
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: and just say, okay, we're taking on the risk.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: It is what it is.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But the problem is nowadays everything's in a computer, So
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: how do you calculate what's happening if you don't know
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen?
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: Well you don't, you don't.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: But yeah, if he can't, if he goes on the heater,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: a bobasht heater, it's just a ton of knocks.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Like he's a.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Hitter, and I don't think his strikeout rate is like
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: that exuberant, but he's never been like a massive on
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: base percentage compared to his batting average. So a heater
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: is just him him knocking some doubles, getting some extra
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: base hit or getting some base hits the opposite field
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: in RBI situations, like that's him going on a heater
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: a team. I have a hard time believing a team
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: is gonna say, yes, we're gonna give guaranteed eighty million
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: for the next two years to a guy that we're
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: trading with some prospects. I don't even think there'll be
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: many prospects. It would just be the Mets getting out
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: from underneath the contract to get a guy that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Could hit two for you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: If you're a playoff team, he might be like a
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: fifth or sixth hitter. Like, that's a lot of money
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: in the in the next two years. Correct, there's a
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: lot of money to turn it walk away from it is.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I know he's only going to be twenty nine years old,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: but yep, it's still I mean he almost in three years.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: He almost made what he with the Phillies offered him
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: in one nine years.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Does he have an opt out after year two or
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: is it just opt after one? I think both must
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: be willing to say one morning other one eighty in
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: the bank.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And also, when you come off a lockout, it's usually
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: stability and then teams field more company.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: That's also my other thing. What happens if there's not
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: a season.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Well that doesn't matter either, right, you're not getting paid.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: But if he doesn't opt out, then he doesn't have
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: that forty sitting there for.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: When they come back, and well that depends the guys.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: What happens is they try to sign before the lockout.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: If you're doing stuff, remember last time around semion see
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: or some didn't, but I remember there was some big deals.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: There was a ton of movement.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It was it was basically a deadline for a lot
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of the big deals. With over thirty five million downloads,
• 6:46

• 7:13
  Speaker 4: to know exactly what it looks like, and I also
• 7:15

• 7:44
  Speaker 1: see Geek. While we're talking about the Villies, Bob wrote
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: that you know they're essentially desperately looking for outfield help.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: It just is not enough production there. Plus Adoli Scarcia
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is down torn what is it lack and he's gonna
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: miss most likely of the year. He mentioned names like Saya,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Suzuki and Joe Adele on their I'll give you a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: stat to Kratz, so take out Harper, Schwarber, Marsh. Those
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: are the three best hitters by far this year. The
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: fourth best ops plus on the team is either of
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you can throw it out there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It's not easy. I mean, you know the guy.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying, nope, nope, fourth best ops plus lea
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: average one hundred, fourth best hitter and.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Nope, stop yep, eighty two. Eighty two is your fourth best.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Great year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm saying. It's Schwarbert, Harper marsh After
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: those three it stot.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: At eighty you like a Stubby or a marsh On.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, they wouldn't qualify for it. I wasn't. But
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: the point is.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: They need offense, and they specifically need outfield help and
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: that's actually usually and then you can find it the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: trade deadline.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: True.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: So if you're the Phillies, if you're a Phillies fan,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you're pissed about what the offense looks like right now Kratz,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: but you have to feel hopeful that you can remake
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: things a little bit on the fly with an extra
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: bat or two at the deadline.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Phillies really haven't gotten into the injury bug either from
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: any of their stars yet. Like, if you're looking at
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Joe Adell or Seya Suzuki as like your massive offensive upgrades,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: what are you really looking at? I mean, I think
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: I think Dombrowski. To me, I think Dombrowski even makes
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: a larger push for something else.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest, like.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Just because of his track record of not being afraid
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: of just leaving a system decimated, I think I think
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: that push.
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: I think that push will.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Be there for a big outfield star that I don't
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: think we're necessarily have on the radar. Because they went
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: to the playoffs last year, they were winning every game,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: and then the bullpen came in and they lost it. Okay,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: so then they added to the bullpen. They added Keller,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: they got rid of Strom, they added Bolin. How that's
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: going whatever, Alvarado he joined, he joined the bullpen, So
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: they feel like they've upgraded the bullpen, which is where
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Dombrowski usually goes in the history of his career as
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: a GM. Now they have the other fact that they
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: just didn't hit quite enough in the playoffs the last
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: few years. So where's that. Joe Adell and Saya Suzuki
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: are not the answer in a Dombrowski type of world.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe in a Brian Cashman type of world. I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Don Browski's more in the aj peler. I will make
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: a big move whatever happens, happens. But we're making this
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: big move. So I'm more looking into Byron Buxton Land.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I mean that would be massive. He's been a top
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: five power guy in baseball. Look at the slugan percentage
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this year. Saya Suzuki is a good bat. I know
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: he's dealing with what the knee has been a thing,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and his defense has been better this year one twenty
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: one ohps plus. His runners and scorm position numbers terrible,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: but he's I think it was great last year. So
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a decent add But there
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: are others. We'll get to them, all right. So here's
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: what Bob said about Sandy. Teams are convinced the Marlins
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: will deal him this trade deadline.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, we said where could he end up?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I mean anywhere anywhere.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: They have their price, and the Marlins might be in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the wildcard race, they will still deal him. They are
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a very You pay the price at any time. It
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: could be now, it could be August.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: First, but you pay the price. White Sox would be great.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'd be great.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I just don't know the White Sox will do that. Why,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: because they're listening to new age front office.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: His prospect orders so annoying.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: They are, am I wrong. Find means new front office
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: that is not afraid to trade a prospect that'll become something. Okay,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: then find me a new front office that wins the
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: World Series? Like be different, Like go to the Crego traded.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Craig Breslo traded four guys to the White Sox for
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Garrett Crochet. All four of those have made an impact
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: on the White.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Sox and it scares the heck out of the neck.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Now every other team is like, well, we don't want
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: to make that deal because that's four guys that could
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: have made an impact on our team.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I always bring up PCA hobby By the.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Feel that one was crushing?
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Was it though?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: They found that?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: The league feels it was because Bias did nothing and
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: pa but it took.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Years for I agree, I'm just and the Mets thought
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: they had a chance. The one I bring up is
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the oldest chairman for glav Torres, how the cubby's doing?
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Would you make that trade again?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Times over? You trade it all for a World Series title?
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: You should With the Brewers trade made Laura Cooper, Pratt,
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: every other guy that have down there for a World
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Series they've never won one.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: The funny thing is, would they do it the guys
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you mentioned.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: That's like there's a whole nother layer that they could
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: trade and avoid those guys and still.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Get I'm just going on off the top of my head, right,
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: And no.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Doubt you would you should trade any of those if.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: You're the Marriers. I don't know the Marrier's top, Cold Emerson.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Would you trade him for a World Series?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Of course, it's.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: Not even close, not even close.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: And if your team doesn't want to do that, then
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: you shouldn't even really cheer for your team. In my opinion,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: you go to ell your field, you go to the
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: rate now or whatever they're calling it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: It is electric.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: If you say, I really don't want to add Sandy
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: up contra there now, we'll deal with who we got.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: We'll run fetti out there every once in a while. No,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: you want a guy that will be the headliner for
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: your rotation or the number two guy behind behind David
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: like whatever.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Probably center best. You know what, I'll trade my prospects
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: because you know what, there's a draft next year. In
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: an international I get ten more or twenty more.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Reporter for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and one of the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: hosts of Brewer Territory is joining us right now.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It's Kurt Hoag. Kurt, great to see you, oh man.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We got to start right with the miss one of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the best pitching performances we've seen in a game almost ever.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Fifteen punchouts, he pulls off a Maddox. What else can
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you tell us about a guy who didn't even think
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he had his best stuff until what halfway through?
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy came out of the locker room and said,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't have the good stuff until like the fifth inning.
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Dude? You threw one or four point five on the
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: black the Kyle Schwarzer. But that's kind of where where
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: we're at with Miz right now. The craziest thing about it, Scott,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: is like a year ago, if you're looking at the
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: scouting scale, you're like, if this guy's got forty command,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be a really good pitcher. And now we're
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: looking at it and he's just living in the zone.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: He doesn't even necessarily need like pinpoint command. He's just
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: putting it in the zone and no one's touching it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: It's I know, when we're watching it it's just like
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: this whole thing of what the heck is going on?
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: But so I feel like we are appreciating how insane
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: this is, but let us not lose sight of how
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: insane the jump that he's made this year is.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what what is this? Joe? Where did this jump
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: come from? Did did the Brewers really see this coming?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Because even in the playoffs last year, remember he was, ah,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: we don't know what we're gonna get at him. I've
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: talked to Pat. I talked to Pat Murphy last year,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: like how is he a starter as your reliever? What's
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: he gonna be? And now all of a sudden, he's
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: taken a meteoric rise to top five pitcher in the
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: game this year so far?
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: What what was it?
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Where did this jump come from?
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's I mean there's more strength. That's the easiest
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: thing to point to his legs. I was just watching
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a video I took of him and his first high
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: a start that would have been in twenty three, And
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the legs are there, they're twigs, they're twig branches. And
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: now he's put on twenty more pounds this offseason, Like
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: the guy can score lot three. He wasn't I wasn't sure,
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: like how he didn't know if it was three or
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: four plates. He's just like I just throw it on
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the bench and squat it, which I guess that's probably
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: quintessential mis right there. But like, he can lift a
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: lot of weight. His lower half is really strong, his
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: core is strong, and that's obviously where the velocity is
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: coming from. Now does that single handedly explain going from
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: a guy that he's gonna walk five per nine maybe
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: six per nine as a starter as a reliever, to
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: someone who's walking almost like almost down to under two
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: per nine. And if you go back over his nine starts,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: he's not walking anyone. So that's not a normal jump.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: I know, guys, guys make leaps, guys get better, skills improved,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: but to do it this fast is freakish. But then again,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: it's a picture who's freakish. Why Why shouldn't the guy
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: who's able to throw harder than any starting pitcher before
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: be able to make leaps in his control that we
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: didn't expect?
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Have they figured out this whole crapeamping thing And that's
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: why they allowed him to go nine innings because before
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: it was like, okay, he's got a little bit cramped
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: or no, Now we got to stop it because last
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: time he cramped. Have they figured it out? So are
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: we going to expect some more seven and eight inning
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: outings from him?
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see how they manage the innings. That's going
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: to be ultimately a question because he's kind of blown
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: outside of the water in the amount of innings that
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: he's covered. I think he's top ten in baseball right
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: now in total innings. He's consistently getting to the sixth,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: consistently getting to the seventh and through those innings as well.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: The cramps mis says that the Brewers says that they
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: say it it was, they call it. They're calling it,
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: you know, the fluke. They didn't. They don't think it's
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: something that's going to happen again. We'll see. Miss has
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: kind of had a history of these little bitty things
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: coming up later in outings. I remember his debut, he
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: rolled his ankle a little bit. He kind of lands
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: awkwardly on the mound. You'll see it at least once
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: an outing. But the man says he's liking those honey
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: stinger waffles. I think they're like he's just munching on
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: those between innings. Getting some sodium, getting some electrolytes, and
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I mean like the dude through one O three on
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: pitch ninety five. So whatever he's doing, whatever he's doing
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: is working. That graphic is it is pretty hilarious. And
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: it keeps growing too. I remember when it was like
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: the twenty fastest pitches. Now it's one hundred and seventy.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: The honey stinger waffles, he's just eating those because they
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: taste really good. They have nothing to do with you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: like like like Kawasaki said, you know, you gotta eat bananas.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: Monkey's never cramped. Okay, So that's what that's what he's
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: got to do, is there?
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: Because he goes, they're pushing him back one day for
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: this next start. Is there a world where the Brewers
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: start skipping a few starts?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, maybe down the road. I think we're looking at
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: like August September ish, and it's not I don't know
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: so much how how grand the skipping would be, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: if they're gonna put twelve days in between starts. But
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: they've already been managing it in the sense of they've
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: been going with a six man rotation, whether it's directly
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: six men or using the off days to like they're
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: just giving the guys five or six days between just
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: about every start. They've been doing it for a while now,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: even with their pitching injuries. So yeah, you're gonna get
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: to a point where your playoff I mean, the Proof's
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: playoff odds are probably already in the high nineties. You
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: can get to a point where you just feel like
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: you're locked in to a playoff seed, whether it's a
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Division Tyler, wildcard or whatever. And at that point, the
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: onus becomes, you need this guy at his best in October.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: You need him at his best for the postseason. Last
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: year he was there, Like it's encouraging to see that
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: he threw his most innings of his career. I think
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: he was already at one thirty maybe one forty ish
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: by the time he got to the playoffs, most he
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: had ever thrown. And he still looks fantastic in the playoffs. So,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: like I said earlier, we're talking about unicorn, talk about
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: like a giraffe that throws one O four. There's no
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: cop for him, but we do know that pictures are
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: going to be tired by the end of the season.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Support for today's episode comes from Square and they've got
• 20:15

  Speaker 1: with Square get started today.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: Kurt, there's another really good picture on the Brewers that
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: we need to hit on Harrison, right, I mean he's
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: been He pitched great again last night and he was awesome.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: How bad is the Vegas Star going to hurt him?
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: Because he could be his era would be right there
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: if not for the Vegas Star. What did they figure out?
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: We talked about what they figured out? Miss What did
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: they figure out with Harrison that's made him and turn
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: a huge corner that the Red Sox and Giants couldn't
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: figure out.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Harrison, it feels like the Brewers. The
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: main thing is the Brewers acquired him like at the
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: right time in his career. You know, the Brewers have
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: such a great track work of developing pictures. And I'm
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: not saying that it wasn't a great fit, because it
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: absolutely was. I think what the best thing they had
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: going for them is Kyle Harrison had three years of
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: you know, varying experiences with different orgs and and you know,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: he's still a young guy, but that experience kind of
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: turned him into gave him some veteran savvy and some
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: veteran ability of like what do I need to do
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: with my stuff in my body and my arsenal to
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: become a really good pitcher and get the most out
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: of it. And there's just all these little tweaks that
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: he's made that the Brewers have made, you know, his
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: final his final batter of the exhibition game, Chris Hook
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: goes to him and he's like, hey, let's let's let's
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: go to the other side of the rubber. And suddenly
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: it looks great in the one batter and they're like, oh, this,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: like this tunnels the breaking ball so much better than
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: the fastball. You can live on both sides of the plate.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Now he's lifting heavier, he's putting on weight during the season.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I think he said, he said, like fifteen pounds since
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: beginning of spring training. So look me too, buddy, But
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: it ain't helping me. It's clearly it's clearly helping him.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: They have just found a bunch of little fixes that
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: are getting the most out of the guy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Are the Brewers big into that you mentioned moving on
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: the rubber. I know when I was at the White Sox,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Don Cooper was a big artitching coach, was big on
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: moving guys in the rubber, and we didn't talk about tunneling,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: but it was more of a control thing and makes
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: it easier to get to one side of the other head.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Kyle Harrison never tried that, and another team never suggested that.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know when I've talked to like high
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: school kids, Hey, you consistently are missing one side. Why
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: don't you move on the other side of the rubber?
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: And it opens up so many more avenues for you.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, whether it's whether it's that or Like Chad Patrick
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: had a rough week last week, but one of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: big fixes for him since going to the bullpen is
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: just like, dude, we're like, we're gonna work out of
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: the stretch. They've done att least some of this stuff
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: with Miz too. I think back to Freddie's season last year.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: One of the things that kind of sparked it was
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: he shifted on the rubber as well. I don't know
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: how to help compares to other teams, but it's certainly
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: one of It's certainly one of the things that they're
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: trying out with their pitchers.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when I was there, it was Derek Johnson. Now
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: it's Hooky. I was there when Hooky took over the
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: thing that those pitching coaches have done. And this is
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: why I think they have so much success is it's
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: not one size fits all. It's not, hey, this is
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: what we do as the Brewers. We're gonna move you
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: on the rut. No, it's like, hey, we'd see how
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: your body moves. We see all that stuff, and you
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: see the success or maybe I'm wrong, you see the
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: success in different types.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Of pictures on in the organization.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah. You talk about you know the word that
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: the buzzword that goes around is the pitching lab. Well,
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: here's the news flash. It's like, the pitching lab's cool,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: But it ain't the pitching lab that does this. It's
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: it's a holistic environment of pitching that you know. It's
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: Chris ho Jim Henderson, the pitching coaches. There's some synergy
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: as well between the front office and and they don't
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: take like you said, Cratzy, they don't take a one
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: size fits all approach to it. They want to get
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: you in. They want to learn who you are and
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: then maybe we'll tweak a little thing here, tweak a
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: little thing there. But the thing that they I think
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: do best is allowing guy's strengths, determining what guy's strengths
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: are determining like what their makeup is, what gets them going,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: and combining those making a little tweak here, maybe a
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: little tweak there, once they get to know you, and
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: that that's what can can you get the most out
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: of you? And we're seeing it now. You know the
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: best one to starting punch probably so far this season
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: with miss and Harrison.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: And Kurt you don't even need to respond, but you
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: can say that Kyle Harrison has put putting on this
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: fifteen pounds because Culver's is everywhere, and that exactly people
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: who are listening. Kurts, he doesn't know, but it's Culver's
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: fifteen pounds. Everybody can throw harder, strike more people out,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: and hit more dingers, which we need some more dingers
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: from Cooper Pratt, who is supposedly scheduled to make his start.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Can he eat some culvers? And what do we need
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: to expect from the Brewers' new shortstop?
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Hey, well, some culvers, some added strength. That's what they're
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: looking for from Cooper Pratt. Maybe not this year, that's
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: maybe more of a long term thing. Look, Cratzy, the
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: bar is not particularly high. It's somewhere near the floor
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: for the production. So I feel like that's actually a
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: good thing in a way for Cooper Pratt, Like the
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: expectations for him are not to sustain the production of
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: a Churio or a Terrang. The OPS from the left
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: side is under six hundred this season. It's been really bad,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and Cooper Pratt a plays great defense, So you have
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: that baseline, and if you can just do something that
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: is along the lines of what they were already getting
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: maybe a little better, then I think the Brewers will
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: be just happy with that. They're gonna let him play
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: all the time. Like I said, his defense gives you
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: a nice floor. He's walked as much as he's struck
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: out at triple A. If you can continue some semblance
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: of decent swing, decisions, decent contact, and then he's shown
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: you some flair for some line drives. There's power in
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: the frame even if he doesn't get to it a ton.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: You would like to think that that would be able
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: to clear the bar that's been said of like a
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: six hundred ops, because man, they have just been getting
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: next to nothing from the left side all season, and
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: which then again makes it incredible that they're what sixteen
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: seventeen games over five hundred with two spots where they've
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: gotten nothing.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Kurt, Will they make a move at the trade deadline?
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Will they finally go for it? Will they finally get
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: rid of some of these I know they keep signing
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: all these position players in the minor leagues and all
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: these prospects, but can they make the move to put
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: them over the hunt because nineteen eighty two, Kurt, I
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: don't know if you were even alive then.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: That was a long time ago.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: I wasn't even Nope, sorry not to bring agent to this.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: I wasn't even close to alive. I don't want to
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: just throw cold water on this, like I'm trying not to.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Whether it's on this show, Brewer territory, a story, whatever,
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: But I feel like my job is a little bit
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: to throw some water on the you know, the idea
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: that the Brewers are going to get schooble, that they're
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: going to go make a huge splash. Look, they they're comprehensive.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: They are going to be involved in the conversations. They're
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: going to be reaching out like they will have these discussions.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: But here's the question that I post. Who is the
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: best prospect that the Brewers have traded in the last
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: four or five seasons, you know, like since the the
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Elch deal is kind of the one off, and that
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: was now eight plus years ago. They have a system,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: they believe in the system and go in and throwing
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: their chips into the middle of the table for a
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: very short term return. You can argue either side of it,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: but they just have not done that. So I'm sure
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: they'll go out. I'm sure they'll do something to make
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: the team better. They have each year. Last year was
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: a sneaky okay deadline for them, but they have not
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: been close to being the team that trades Luis Peigno
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: or Pratt or Luis Laura or They've got all these
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: prospects and it would make you think, hey, they're the
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: perfect team to go get a scoople, to go get
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: someone else big like that, maybe it's Freddy Perolta, But
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: so far they haven't done it. And I'm not saying
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: they're not going to, but I'm saying history tells us
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: that they are less likely to do that than a
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: team like the Dodgers or someone else that that's willing
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: to just you know, kick their prospects away.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Brewers fans would love love nothing more than for somebody
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: big to be brought in and to make it to
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: that World Series. That will be a team that would
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: be remembered forever. Because you don't make it, you're not
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: gonna be remembered. It'll just be another just fell short.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: One way they can pick somebody up is if you
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: can tell us some good news on Big Wu's rehab
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: slash timetable.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Big Wu looking let another start, I believe this week,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: and then theoretically right the date on the schedule to
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: return might be next week, perhaps in Cincinnati. The Brewers
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: are I mean, they haven't really given a ton of
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: detail on this the whole time because with the nature
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: of the injury and kind of Big Woo's injury history,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of touch and feel to it. I
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: don't know if we're going to see him back at
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: ninety four ninety five. It's it's hard to say exactly
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: because remember last year when he was coming back from
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: rehab that the velocity was low, and then he came
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: back and suddenly, oh, oh that's a different pitcher. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: think that's not not exactly the big the old Big Wu,
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: but it's close to it. So it's it's it's difficult
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: to say entirely how he's gonna look. But in his
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: rehab starts, in his live live, you know, live abs
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: and whatnot, it's then more change ups, more cutters. So
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: I think he's adapting to the various ways in which
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: his body might tell him he has to pitch. But
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: if we know one thing about this guy, it's that
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: he's gonna be able to pitch and pitch pretty effectively
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: no matter how fast the stuff is exactly coming out.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: That's some good news for him. Let's let's talk one
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: injury that a lot of fans don't know about Pat Murphy.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: He's got a bad hip. I'm sure you've been in
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: his office and he's got this machine that sits next
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: to him. I don't know he calls it. I forget
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: what he called it. He has a name for it,
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: whatever he calls. Yeah, but he has a hip. Is
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: he gonna get surgery on this hip or I know
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: when I was there a couple weeks ago, he kind
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: of said, I don't want to have surgery till the
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: end of the year. But is it getting to the
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: point where you're gonna lose Murph for a couple of days?
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Because he can't even walk to the mound anymore.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's scheduled for the All Star break a hip surgery.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not a hip surgery expert. Does that mean you
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: know he misses? He misses some days. I personally think
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: he should just get the scooter, get the surgery, and then.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Get the scooter.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: I want some scooters. That would be good content. It
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: would be funny you mentioned Murph Murph out there. I
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: think he has a motorized scooter too, that they that
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: they gifted him. So let's like, why not, let's use
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: what you got man. But yeah, he has been in
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: all seriousness, Murf has been in a lot of pain
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: for the last few weeks, a few months. I mean
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: it's been ongoing. And he's got other ailments too, Like
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: his back is hurt. Obviously the hip is the one
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: that needs a surgery. His shoulder has like always been
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: messed up. There's just a bunch of a bunch of
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: a bunch of health He a bunch of health things
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: that are putting him on the injured list as well.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Kurk, can you imagine the content, Like he goes and
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: takes out miss oh he had he drives a scooter
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: out there and then miss it's on his back as
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: he drives the scooter back to the dugout or whoever
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: whoever he takes in and out of the game. They
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: have to put their arms around Murph and Mrv's driving
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: on and yes they have to stop and put helmets on.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: He's got peg But the bullpen card didn't quite catch on.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: So what about the Murph scooter car?
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Why not? Exactly?
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Why not? Yes, anything with Murph is good.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course he would.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: He would complain at all about it. He wouldn't complain
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: at all about him Murph Murty wouldn't complain at one minute.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: He probably hit any an he.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: He he would like act like it's the worst thing ever,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: but like, deep down, deep down, he would love it.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: He would be obsessed with it because it's a funny
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: it's a funny bit and like that's thirty seven No,
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: it's like ninety seven percent of this guy's personality exactly.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Exhibit A from the Weekend. Can you walk us through
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: how Forrest go made a cameo?
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Well, this goes back to last year when when Murph
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: was just constantly comparing mis to Forrest Gump, and he's
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: he's he says. He means it like in a confimentary way,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: like he's he succeeds because he's just so in his
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: own world, like oblivious kind of to to what he's
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: capable of, what he's not capable of. And then he
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: said it again after after the game on Friday, were
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: struck out fifteen pitching Ninja I think was the one
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: that tweeted out the clip and then sure enough, So
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know who did I don't know who did it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I don't like no offense, Miss, but I don't think
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: he's he's nice, like nice like that with graphic editing.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think that's his forte. Someone
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: did it.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: I don't know who he was pitching.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was pitching.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: I know that Miss is kind of like a geek though, right,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: which is fine.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: Listen, if you talk to it, he's like he's like
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: a nerd in the best kind of ways.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Right.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I was at a card show yesterday and they were
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: talking about Pokemon, how hot Pokemon is Pokemon. I was
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: That's all I can think about, was Miss. And there's
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: like three guys that have the Pokemon glove with the
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: card in it. All I can think is all I
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: could think about was mis out there pitching with Pokemon,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: going wonder if this card value is going up or down?
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Some guys on their off days. Cool beach drinks, Miz
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: card shop, Pokemon.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Fine, everyone has their.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Third Legitimately, if I go to a card shop right
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: now down the road, there's a non zero chance I
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: would run into Mix.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: And you can't.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: It's where he goes. You can't.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: That's fine.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: It's better than going out to the bar drinking all.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: No, it's the dream, that's what you want, right, Yes,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: it might earn you an extension.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Quicker, Hey this guy, Yes.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: This guy's not getting into trouble unless it gets pissed
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: off because he pulls the wrong cart. Crazy well, Kurt,
