• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Monday of everyone had a wonderful weekend. That was Arizona.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: It was good, the game was The game was not
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: very I mean it was a good game. Two to close. Yeah,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: it was close. Not a lot happened other than Paroldo
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Perdomo out there telling what's coming from Clay Holmes. I mean,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: with bright green stuff on his hand.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Nobody cares anymore, right is that?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I mean I called it out on the air.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And that was the hit.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Then he gave up the hit to Vargas. That was
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: the two runs that Diamondbacks score.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like he was the only one.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: That did it because then the next guy got him
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: second and didn't do it. It was only Perdoma.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Why, I don't know.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Doesn't the team talk and say hey listen.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: As soon as he went to he went like this
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: on second base. I was like, you know, you hit
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the talk back and I was like, uh, Pardoma's about
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to be given all them signs. We need to get
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a shot of him. And then after one pitch he
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: was out there going I mean like not even hiding it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I don't understand how one guy does it and then
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the next guy gets then.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Whoever was on whoever was on first got the second
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: on the single, didn't even look, didn't even try, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: I think Arnatto was up. So maybe Arnautter didn't want
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the signal the signs.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That could be right, one player doesn't want.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: It, yeah, I guess, but I mean apparently Oldmorrow Vargas
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: won it and he got a two RBI single. That
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: was a difference in the game.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Gar Vargas is getting it all this year.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But the Mets offense was not good man.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Crats. They made Arizona's starters looked like absolute studs like Merril,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Kelly has struggled, Nelson has struggled. Water was ridiculous.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: He's done.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I mean these guys were dealing. Yeah, no, I know
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: he's done good, but like he's not doing eight and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: whatever good. I mean they went back and all their
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: guys looked like studs.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: He went out for the ninth. There was the first
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: time since like twenty twenty three that he made it
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: out over or he came back out for the night
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: like talking three years. Unfortunately for Mets fans, it was
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: against the Mets, but this team cannot hit, pressing or
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: not pressing.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: They could not hit, and so so great here's the thing. Yeah,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: one hit. I think he hit lead off right. There
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: came up a situation where there was a run around second.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm like, just walk them. I mean, listen, no offense,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Bobushet's been really good this year, he's not been really good.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Walk him.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Every time. There was people I talked to that were
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: there that were like, I don't know whyan Soto ever
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: gets a pitch to hit because nobody behind him is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: hitting work at all. So just walk him every time.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Anytime there's a situation and he knows that. The thing
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: for me is like, and Soto's obviously really good, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: like there was an opportunity. I think they were down
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: two to one, he gets a two zero heater, like
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, center cut. He just is like and you're like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that's the one.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But that's not his game, I know, but that's the one.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I know. You got to try to tie this game
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: up there. I know it's two oh center cut. Maybe
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: actually a little bit down and in.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Him and Vodo in my generation just won't do it.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: But that's needed. That's when you need the homer.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I think Vos on the I think Soto's on a
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: different level level than vodo, not that we're gonna not
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that we're gonna get into it. They're both doing the
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: same thing. But one Soto's one Soto does what Wan
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Soto wants to do. I think at the plate, I'll
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: be honest, there's very few guys in the game that
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying he didn't want to hit a two
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: run homer.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But I thought they were the same. I mean, yeah,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: you can vary a level of Okay, maybe he wouldn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: take that particular pitch, but pretty much the same profile
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: in terms of by far best hitter. They're mostly going
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to pitch around you. They're going to walk you so
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: often that you're used to taking pitches and that two oh,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: heater goes down the middle and there's two more balls
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: and you get your base and you just move on.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Well no, then he popped up. Then he goes then
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: just started throwing them wrinkles and changing. Meryl Kelly had
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: a nine to ninety arra going in this game. He
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: went seven innings and shot and there was they scored
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: one run and it was I mean it was Sharley's.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That whole series was crazy.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: End you know what this is, this is the thing
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and we all know how we feel about Mendy. I know,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: at least I know how I feel. I love Carlos Mendoza.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: He's gonna get blamed. It's not his fault. It's not
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: his fault. There's what could he do? At one point,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Adam Iman was sitting next to me and we get
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to about the eighth inning, and you know, it's between innings.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: You're just kind of talking amongst ourselves, and I'm like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: what can Mandy do? What can Mandy do different? It's
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: two to one right now, what could he two runs?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Clay Homes pitch well, the bullpen came in and did
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: their job. They scored one run. What could he do different?
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: There's nobody on the bench he could have brought in.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: He can say, hey, David Stearns, did you see what
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the Giants did. Let's start doing that. Let's do trades
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: right now, because this is.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Just not who could they trade?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I'm just messing around. It's so early too. I mean,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: they can trade people, but they can trade people that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: would lead them to giving up on the season, which
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: will have later in spreading rumors. I mean, they have
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: guys that are going to be free agents, but boosting
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: their team for all to Clay Holme is going to
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: be free agent. He'll opped out, so we're going to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: get to all of that. One more thing in this series, Homes,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: he's going to cash out.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He's nasty. He throws that sinker nobody can get in
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the air.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: He's got it figured out. One more thing from that series.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: You got to see Ryan Walschmidt and.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: His punch out three games the game I.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Was, but the game before that, the pa.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Before he got a pinch it.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I met his dad.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: His dad said he watches every day. So hello, mister Walsh.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Hello Sunday too. He had a great day. He had
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: a great at the plate.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Friday, he got the pinch it, he got the hit Saturday,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: he went over three or three punchies, caught a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of balls in center field though he had like eight putouts.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be good.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I like him. Yeah, no, he listened. He I mean,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: just first Big League started and you get Clay Holmes
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: just throwing them freaking sinker balls. He's probably never seen
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in Triple A before. In ninety six, I mean it was.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But Alec Thomas is going to get traded. It seems
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he got to fade, but someone's gonna acquire him.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just don't know what the Mets can do.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I really don't know what they can do.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Well. The report we'll get to later says that they're
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: already just feeling out what they can get for their starters,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: because you know what they do with starters hitting free
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: agency that are ones or twos or even some threes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: See you, they're not giving them five years. It's just
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: not their mo until they go through enough pain and
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: figure out they need to do that. But I want
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to get to this trade because I want to spend
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: some time on this. I'm fascinated by this topic. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: let's charge charge. Okay, here we go. Patrick Bailey gets
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: traded from the Giants to the Cleveland Guardians and now
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they have Austin Hedges and Patrick Bailey. On the other
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: side of this one Matt Tugboat Wilkinson, you might know
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that name from the WBC. And then the number twenty
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: nine overall pick. That's a first round pick. It's a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: good pick for the Giants to pick up, and they
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: had essentially given up on Bailey. They were like, the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: offense hasn't been there for years. This year it's atrocious
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and this team can't hit so as good as he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: is at framing pitches. The Giants and Buster Posey, who
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: could freaking hit when he was a catcher in the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Bigs said I'm done. We're moving on to Susac and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: hey Zus Rodriguez, who had a huge knock for them yesterday.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts on this one for both sides.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it from the Cleveland side, maybe more
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: than the Giant. The Giants were what you said, Susack's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: been great, Rodriguez had a big hit for him. Bailey's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: kind of grown stale in San Francisco because I mean,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: it's been a couple of years now since he's hit
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: it all. But the thing for me is, didn't they
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: already have this guy? I mean, I know Bailey's an
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: upgrade from bow Naylor, but didn't they already have a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: no hit, frame, defensive frame me catcher guy and now
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: they have Austin Hedges and Paley. I don't understand. I mean,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I guess Cleveland must think he's that big of an upgrade.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, he might have to be a huge upgrade
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: for me, because then you send bow Naylor down. They've
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: kind of said they wanted him there. He's been there
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: for a few years too. He hasn't really done much either.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Twenty ninth pick and a prospect is
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a big give And the reason that everyone's saying is
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the Giants wanted to have a huge bonus pool to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: try to get what's his name, Rock Chalowsky, the guy
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: who's supposed to be the number one pick, a huge
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Bob Nightingale reported this that he's supposed to They're supposed
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to go way over slot and pay him, so he'll
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: say no to the white I think the Giants have
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the fourth pick, so he'll fall to the fourth pick.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: So because the Giants are just in love with him,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Kratz. Maybe you have a better feeling
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: on this for me, but I just I don't see it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I more don't see it. I mean the Giants, sure,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I see it from their side, but the Guardians. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: just don't understand why the Guardians would do this.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Cratzy, real simple man. When you're looking for the best
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: seats available where you had a big.
• 8:50

• 8:54

• 8:56
  Speaker 3: where you're going to be sitting. I got to sit
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: at a certain spot. I want to be able to
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: see it whole field. I don't need to be close
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: to the field, gotta be a little higher out of
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the sun. I'm bougie that way.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Of course you are.

• 9:47
  Speaker 3: That is such a that is such a crapshirit. If
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: you think Rock Chiholski, I forget how you say his
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: last name, but it's going to follow you in the
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: draft to definitely get rid of your starting catcher. Are
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: they saying that defense mattered before when the offense was okay,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: and now the offense has been terrible because he's offensively challenged,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: They're gonna get rid of him.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Believe me.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: If there's a topic I know about, it's not hitting
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. I don't care what team you are,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: you get gotten rid of. So what were the Guardians
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: thinking when they're bringing him in? Nothing against Baillot? Yes,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: behind a dish, he's winning gold gloves, Like he can receive,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: he can receive really well. I know the Guardians really
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: want that stat. I know from knowing Buster and playing
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: with Buster. The receiving stat is not that it's not
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: that important to him. He thinks there is other values.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Other teams really really value that receiving stat. So I
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: think that's why the Guardians went and picked him up
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: and just said, okay, whatever on your hitting, Like we've
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: figured out how to have catched catchers that don't hit.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: And because Buster posey when Farhan Zaidi was there, Buster
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: wanted I'm forgetting the catcher's name. He was there the
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: year before. Like the nicest guy, Hunley, Oh to manage. Well,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: they wanted him to manage, but they wanted him to
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: come back, and Farhan Zaidi said, no, we're going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: trade for Krats because his receiving numbers are better, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Posey said, who cares about receiving numbers. I know what
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: this guy can do in the big leagues. I want
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: him back. And they butted heads on that, so I
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: know Posey's well, he's not like, oh, receiving doesn't matter.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: He just doesn't value it as much as the rest
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: of the industry values it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know if it's the rest of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the industry. The Guardians are the extreme example of a
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: team that values this particular type of player more than
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: maybe any other team. They are pitching defense, run prevention
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to its core. They think that slumps less than hitting,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: which is accurate, and then you get to the postseason
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and they never hit enough to really go deep, right.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: But their thing is, I think they do all this
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: saying we're gonna have a consistent enough competitive season and
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: maybe one year our hitters all get hot at the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: same time, or we get one big bat and we're
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: able to push through. So that's like their emphasis on
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: this side. The Giants emphasis is our offense sucks, our
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: big three is doing nothing, and do you know who's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: getting picked on as much as the big three? Patrick
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Bailey fans were going freaking wild, pitchforks everywhere because he
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: hadn't hit for years, and maybe they don't value obviously.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Zach has been off to a good start, so they're
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: like Justice.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Sack and Rodriguez could be good, but he's not healthy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I know, but Rodriguez yesterday was the guy. They're done
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: and it's not up to the fans to make the decisions.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: My point is, you know how Volpi took the heat
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: last year for the Yankees. Basically with anything like that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: was Bailey right now. If you if you looked at
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: any tweet that had significant comments on it, and I
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: know this isn't the best barometer, ninety eight percent of
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the comments from Giants fans were like, oh, thank gosh,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: we were so done with this and he was about
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to get booted to more of a backup role for
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the team because they need offense. They're not hitting, like
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: we're showing this. They're the Guardians, I know, but the Giants.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: The Giants are in risk of falling out of it
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in like the next few weeks.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: They've alreadians falling out of it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: You think they're already out of it?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Do you think they're Do you think they're a playoff team?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: The way they're constructed?
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think they look like a playoffs web on
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the IL if I said to you, hey, dude, whatever
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: you can do to try and rescue yourself and try
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: and put together a winning streak, isn't this a move
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: you would maybe try to make and be like, all right,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: well we need some offense here, So let's straight away.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: The dude who's got like a twelve ops plus like
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it's it's not working for him at all. He probably
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: needs a change of scenery with them.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: He definitely needs a change. I mean they're sixteen and
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: twenty four.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: That's not impossible to come back from. I mean the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Mets two years ago, we're ten games under the national
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Yes it is. I do you guys not like this trade?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Like for me as a Giants fan, I.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: For Giants, the Giants. I get it. I get it
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: from I've said this. I get the Giants side of it. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I don't get the Guardian side of it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I get both because I didn't have one. They have hedges,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: So this is the catcher they like and they want
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: two of them, and they're.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Just got bo Naylor was kind of this guy though
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: too was doesn't bow Naylor, I don't know. Wasn't his
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: framing numbers good or no?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: But Bailey's double anyone else in the last few years
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: in terms of the mess.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Not like Patrick Bailey, not like Patrick Bailey, and the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: way that teams value it. I've said it before on here.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: I saw a presentation by the Yankees that had Mike
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Trout's MVP year and Hank Conger's season because Hank Conger.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: If you don't remember Hank Conger, look it up. Hilarious
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: catcher that played for the Rays had a better season
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: in their value because of the receiving a better season
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: than Mike trout MVP season, Hank Conger was more valued.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: So what Patrick Bailey is doing receiving wise, they are
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: enamored by. They like, this is a value that they
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: think is goes beyond home runs, goes beyond on base percentage,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: goes beyond his twelve ops plus like it is the
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: teams that really really value it and find a diamond
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: and a rough like Patrick Bailey is is ridiculous. I'll
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: even pull up his sl double a strikes looking above
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: average for you here in a second.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, while you're looking for it, I'll tell you this
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: year AJ two O seven on base one seventy six
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: slugging for, if not the worst a bottom three offense
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: in baseball even park adjusted, that is eight games under
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and is, like you said, very close to thinking about
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: selling at the trade deadline. And that would include Robbie Ray,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: who's free agent after this year. Who knows, maybe they
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: even listen to offers for Logan Web if he gets
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: himself back on track. I know he just went on
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the shelf with the kneebersitis, but this could get bad
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: really quickly. I give credit to Buster Posey for taking
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: big swings. Some of the swings haven't worked yet, but
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you stop, Like should he just get
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: timid and say, hey, you know what, the industry just
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: loves the framing value from Patrick Bailey and he still
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: steals a ton of strikes. No, this team identity wise
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: needs to figure out offense. They can't afford to have
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: an auto out right.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't you do would you. I'm not arguing with you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: I get it from the Giants side.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Why do you keep thinking you're just saying I don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: get it from the guard.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I don't get I get the Giants change of scenery,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: they get the twenty ninth pick, they get a prospect.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I got no problem with the Giants doing this. The
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Giants are the Giants are my question mark. My question
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: is the Guardians. They need offense too. He doesn't bring offense.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: No, they But I think what Scott said is perfect.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: They're doubling down, tripling down on the defense when they
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: have an opportunity to get this. So right now, Patrick
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Bailey is third in the league, behind Dylan Dingler and
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Austin Wells. He has caught essentially the same amount of
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: pitches where the next Guardians catcher is is bow Nailor
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and Austin Hedges are above average, but Patrick Bailey basically
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: has caught twice as many more strikes.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Strike's looking at bowling strikes. You're saying like stolen strikes.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Basically the chart we showed if you're looking visually for
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: our crowd, and if you're listening, I'll just describe we
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: showed there. It is all of the pitches outside of
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the zone this year with the challenge system that Patrick
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Bailey has stolen and if you look at the last
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: few years, he has kind of lapped the field in
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: this category and that's why some teams are obsessed with him.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm just going over all the stats that the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: front office is like. They all have their you know how,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they all have their own version of a stat. There's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: more negative war player this year right now because of
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the bat. So the Giants, we're good.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: They signed Alison Hedges to a two year deal. They
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: need offense. Everyone knows the Guardians need offense. So you
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: send Bo Naylor down. Who's a little bit better of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: a hitter?
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's definitely better hit, but a.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Little bit less of a framer. Yes, And this is
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: not a knock on Hedgy because we all love Hedgy.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: But wouldn't a move be to make Patrick Bailey maybe
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: more of a platoony guy with Bo Naylor instead of Hedges.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But they already signed Hedges if they could have.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Gotten I know, that's kind of what the that's kind
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: of the that's another reason. What from the Guardian standpoint,
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I I think they saw an opportunity where he was hitting,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: like his stock was so low on offense right that
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: this was the time to acquire him. And now they
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: can have him for years. And now Hedges will ride
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: out another year and a half with the team, but
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they've got two of them, and he can learn from
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Hedges and maybe try and switch things up and figure
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: out a little bit of offense if you gave The
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Guardians have been on him for a years, so in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the off season, if you said, hey, you can get Bailey,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: they would have done this trade in the off season
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in a heartbeat. Okay, it was just an opportunity thing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I just think it's a I mean, you can see
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about this. I think it's a fascinating trade.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I just thought it was cool when I saw.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: It was a fascinating trade. I just I see it
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: from one side. I don't see from the other. But hey,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I hope we're severing both of them, big dog.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: You know how it is, man, We're always hungry, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: how do we get our food. We don't want the
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: stuff that makes our bellies hurt. We go to Hello Fresh.
• 19:27

• 19:42
  Speaker 3: gone fifteen meals so far and they haven't given me

  Speaker 3: one repeat meal. There's so many to choose from, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: they can make it easy for me.
• 19:49

  Speaker 1: Well, this to me is more of a philosophical thing.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: You're looking at Cleveland like I am and saying, hey, guys,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: like it's been cute. You've been able to keep this
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: run going where you're mostly competitive every year. But aside
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: from what was it two years ago they got to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: was it the CS with the Yankees two years ago?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Was that already?
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Aside from that, you're like, okay, now we're looking
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: back to the World Series against the Cubs. They were
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a little more invested financially back then. There's a little
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: more balance on offense. You just feel like it's the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: same brand over and over again. Is that what you're saying. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I get that too. You just don't feel like they
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: have a chance when they get to the postseason.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: But the Seals a strike every once in a while.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: They need somebody that can hit the ball over the plate,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: over the whole. They need a guy they can go
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: up there and hit a ball over the fence every
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: once in a while. Oh, Naylor, let's forget did pretty
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: well in the postseason last year. I mean, I don't know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: That's the That's why it's fascinating, because they need they
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: need one of them big old dudes that can go
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: up there and whack the ball over the fence.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: How much that costs? How much does that cost? Because
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: in this in this trade, the Guardians haven't given away
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: any of their what they perceive is value. I mean
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: a minor league pitcher. If there's an organization that's like, hey,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: we'll give this guy a chance in the big leagues.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: We'll give this guy the draft pick. I'm not I'm
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: not well versed on you know how much.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: No, that's a high value. Crats, that's a high.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I get it is. I get it is. But I'm saying,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: what's hurting this team right now? They feel like they
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: made an upgrade and like the story I told you
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: about Hank Konger and Mike Trout, they feel like those
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: strikes are equal to home runs. And I'm sorry whoever
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: came up with that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Whoever came up with that is one of the dumbest
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: people in the history of baseball, that Hank Conger and
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Mike Trawler is equally valuable. I like Hank Conger, nice fella,
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: But Mike Trout back in those days was the best
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: player in baseball and it wasn't really that close. And
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: now we're comparing saying Hank Conger was more valuable because
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: he steals a strike a game.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Sorry, No, the secret sauce is somebody who's above average
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it doing.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: This is the war argument. This is the war argument.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: This is the this is the it's all the it's
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's not
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: even a high war guy. Though. You can't tell me
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: though I am again, there's so many of these comparisons on Twitter,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: on Exit all that stuff like it. You guys know
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: right this. You can't tell me that there was Alfonso
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Soriano one the other day. Alfonso Soriana was like a
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: thirty thirty guaranteed every year with sometimes forty forty guys,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: and he was compared to like these two other guys.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'd much rather face the other two
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: guys every day than Alfonso Soriano. They're like, well, his
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: defense is bad. I don't care that dude who hit
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: me forty He knocked in way more than he let
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it and his defense wasn't that bad.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: And you can't have Do you want three Sorianas in
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: the outfield? No?
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: No, But you can have one, correct, You can have
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: one one Sodo in your outfield, but you better have
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: two dudes that can go get it well.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: The separate story, but the Pirates with Reynolds and the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Cruise right now in the outfield has caused a problem.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, he's been really good defense. The Cruse is swinging it, so.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I know there's just a balance it. And also where
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the Pirates playing better than they have in years right now,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: so they're in a good spot. But wait, Bailey, I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: mean this year I mentioned negative war last year one
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: point one Baseball Reference were a year before one point seven.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: He's not like a five war players.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: What do he hit last year?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Last year he was twenty two two seventy seven on
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: base three, twenty five slug, seventy two ops plus so.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: He was in the five hundreds in ops five six
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: oh two.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Oh so sorry, we got wat h at the end
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: of the year for that too.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: He did get hot. I remember he was worried.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think eventually they just said uncle.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: And if this team was rolling offensively, maybe it's looked
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: at differently. But this team is struggling now. They just lost.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I mean they optioned Bryan Walker. Web is hurt, like
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: they're kind.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Of man goes out to the mountain and takes a
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: picture out and they don't know who to come who's
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to come in and they're out there going which one,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: which one to use and then finally one of the
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: players goes the left Domas one of the players on
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the mountain. I think it was Chapman's like Domas, Domas
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: did it. Domins is out there going lefty, lefty.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Did you see the Shawshank quote?
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: They're rolling through Pooh right now, and it is what
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: it is. That's what's going on with this team, so
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: they're trying to switch it up. I loved it when
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I saw it for the Giants, I was like, good
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: for you. Figure something else out. You cannot have any
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: dead spots in your lineup because it's not good enough.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: And the big three combined right now, Chapman, Adamis Endeavors
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is I think about a six hundred ops.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know Devers is not.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: It's it's been so bad.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: That's the Casey Schmidt's is the guy that can hit.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Those three should have a nine hundred ops.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's the whole difference of.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: The Seasons't done anything Nader's heard, obviously, it's been rough
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: out in San Francisco.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good chat. The Red snapped and eight game skid
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: on Saturday was getting really bad, but then they won
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the last two in the series against Houston and Nick
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Lidolo's backd they play the lowly Houston Astros. Well, sometimes
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you need a team to kind of help you get
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: out of the hot was it the Astros?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Who they play Giants? Oh, giant Giants in.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: That Rocket weekend? Yeah, hey, you have to beat the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: bad teams though, tough.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Schedule matters though, remember you get.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Used to you.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: No, I agree, I'm with you, but I mean, I.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Mean, look at the Diamondbacks are pitching is awful.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Who they play Matts? Get out of your slump with great.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Call and Andrew abbits looking good, Andrew Abbits starting to
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: starting to throw a lot better. But I mean struck
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: out your Don Alvarez three times, first time ever that
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Jordon struck out four times in a game in the.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Show, Lidolo is not He's always been nasty always, like
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: we say.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: He just can't stay healthy, just hasn't been healthy.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: But he is nasty. I mean, if you have him
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: healthy and your the Reds, and then you get to
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: a playoff series, you get excited when you have him.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Green's gonna come back I think in July. But they
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: need to stay afloat too. Can't lose.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean it was against the Cubs. The Cubs,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: just the Cubs, like the soul in those three games.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: They really did it four games, four games them in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: four three, walked them off three.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Times and just banged him up the fourth. Yeah, they
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: that was like one of those soul killing games.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Braves were playing for Bobby Cox. We're going to to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: talk to a special guest straining us in a little
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: bit about him. But first on the series, bravemin series
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: over the Dodgers. Impressive.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: They played well. Yeah, they swung the bats really well. Yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: the Braves are good. They're good if they're starting, pitching
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: stays healthy and they stay there, they're pitching stays healthy,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: They're they're good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Right now, This version of Bryce Elder, Yes Streider after
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the first one was rocky, and they were like, actually, give.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: All those weird quotes about I don't want to get
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: a participation. We'll go out and just pitched. He did
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: back one start. Yeah, let's not cry too much now,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Like it's been one start.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Right, it looked much better. And the Dodgers offense actually
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: has been slumping for the last few weeks. That includes
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: o Taani Kratz. They haven't had a lot of slug
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Mookie bats is coming back tonight Monday, but you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: they needed a little bit of a spark. They almost
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: seem like they've got the World Series hangover cruise control
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: mode going here.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would just say going into the series,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: the Braves, I know they lost their first series going
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: into the Dodgers series, but the Dodgers are playing very
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: poorly going into the series, and I mean it looked
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: like it right now. The Braves are playing better than
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. Does that mean they're better than the Dodgers.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not ready to say that, but they're playing better
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: than them. So you talk about schedule when you play
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: a team matters too. Now Snell came back a little eh.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: The Dodgers pushed Rokie back. Rokie's now throwing today. They
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: didn't face Yamamoto. I think I think for the Braves,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: as hot as they are, what Olson's doing, what Albi's
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: is doing, I think it's crazy that they're not getting
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: anything from Austin Riley. They're not getting anything from Acunya well,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: I mean Acunya level things, and I just I think
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: they're there. I mean, they're they could they talk about
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: a team that's on cruise control. They could be on
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: cruise control the rest of the year, So hopefully that
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: helps them keep their pitchers healthy and they can go
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: into Game one and two with Strider and Sale because
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, the Braves become a big problem.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a nine game lead at the moment.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: You like this tweet from CJ. Nidkowski, who's on our
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: show the other day, does Braves TV. He said, wins
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Braves two Dodgers one. I mean, you know, he likes
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: to have a little fun with it. Bray's outscoring them,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Dodgers out payrolling them. Now that pitcher on the roster
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: thing is a whole topic for the entire season and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: even was added on to from the weekend, which maybe
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: we'll get to. But he said, despite the pitcher disadvantage,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: the Braves take the series now. No o Tani no Yamamoto.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Every Dodgers fan watching this clip right now is like, okay, cool.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Still one two out of the three yep in Dodger
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Stadium that they got swept last year and at the
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: beginning of the year.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, but what does it tell you about these two
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: teams that they meet up in the NLCS, not much. Yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: braiks our chance. I think we.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Figured that if they get there, if they both get there.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think you mentioned some What is a
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: Tawani three for four for thirty three with no homer,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: one homer and like one hundred at bats.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: One hundred two plate appearances. Yeah, the pitching, we're not
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: allowed to say that.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this. The pitching is God. Your fans
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: hear Mamber when he he's older now than he was
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in Anaheim, and it takes a toll on your talk
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: to any pitcher how sore they are the next day
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: after they pitch. Even guys that have been doing it
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: a really long time and are in really good shape,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: they are like, my body is fatigue, and I got
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: to go out there and try and get a hit
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: against the guy throwing a hundred. It's hard. That's why
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: we don't see these guys. That's why there's only one
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: of these guys. That's why there's only one team that
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: has fourteen pitchers and the rest have thirteen.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I want a tiny to thrive, play every day, hit,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: every day, pitch every year. This is what six seven
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: days remembers got viscerated in the off season. For talking
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: about this also is laughing.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I also remember this what I said when, and I've
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: said this since the inception of Otani's contract. What happens
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: if he wakes up one day and says, you know what,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: I just want to be a fifty to fifty guy.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want to pitch.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Any He's going to just not yet, he is going
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to do that. Don't you think that's part of the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: reason why this year he wants.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: To try to win a Sight Award.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can have that on the Ledger for individual
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: maybe I think.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: So, it's still worth it to answer, to answer your question,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: it's still worth it. It's probably already got the seven
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars back and they haven't even paid him yet.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: They're gonna pay him six million after this year, and
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the numbers just keep expounding, like he's made
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five million off the field, and
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: there they've made one hundred million, and then one hundred
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: and seventy five million, like it's worth every penny. And
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: teams were.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: Like, I don't know if we're going to be able
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to go to that number.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we could get as high as
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Otani wants it. Well, you know what, he's still the
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: best player on Let's put it this way. Here's my
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: question to you. He's not gonna win the cy Young
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: because he's gonna hit. It's gonna wear him down. Blah
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: blah blah. Let's say that's a fact. He hits two
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: thirty with fifteen homers on the season, is he still
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: the MVP? No, Yes, because he's going to be in
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: the cy Young race. He's a pitcher and a header.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: He's the MVP. I can't handle. I can't, I can't. Yes,
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: he's the most valuable player in the league without a doubt.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I agreed.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: And he's not going to finish two thirty fifteen.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: He's not.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: If he's healthy. Yeah, if he's healthy, the numbers are,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: even on a down quote down year, are going to
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: be all star caliber offense. And right now, the way
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: he's pitching is absurd, even if he makes twenty five starts.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: But you guys are right, you were spot on from
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the offseason. This is what happens in the online world.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: We post a clip and all of a sudden, everybody
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: just becomes a historian and says, well, you guys didn't
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: watch him in Anaheim. That was a million years ago.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: They're like, he hit and he pitched and he was amazing,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And you guys are like, yeah, that was a surgery
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: in five years ago or whatever it was.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: But I also know that he's he's learned more. He's
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: learned more about the what makes him successful to hit
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: in this time when he was stop when he stopped pitching,
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: and to do those things. You don't just like, oh,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: you know what, I'll do, this will be easier. I'll
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: just hit these fifty home runs. He knows how to
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: get into his legs, he knows how to hit, and
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: he's not had that just extreme body just usage from
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: pitching during these last two years when he was rehabbing. Yes,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: which is tough, absolutely, but he's going out there and
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: doing things at the plate that I think could get
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: in the way of his pitching, and then his pitching
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: gets in the way of his hitting. Like those are
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: things it is. He is a different person than he
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: wasn't Anaheim, And go back and look at his numbers
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: and Anaheim, they weren't what the level of expectator. To me,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: that's what he's going to do this year. There was
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: a there was a bed on bet MGM would he hit?
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Would he be over or under fifty home runs? To me,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's the lock that he was going to
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: be under. Maybe I think the number was forty nine
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and a half and it was a lock it was
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: going to be under. Just because of how much wear
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: and tear it takes. It doesn't take anything away from
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: this mythological beast that Otani is. It's just really really
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: hard to do.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: They're going to be fine. They know what they're doing.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers know what they're doing. He knows what he's doing.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: He's not a young pup anymore. He had to figure
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: himself out and it's going to evolve as he goes.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: And as you get older it gets harder.
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, the Dodgers care about one thing healthy. I mean,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: obviously they want health found for the regular season, but
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: they just want to make sure that whatever the journey is,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: it ends up with him in October being able to
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: do both at his best, because in October they want
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: him to pitch and hit, so on those days they're like.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: With the extra off days. Yeah, they also need Glass
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: now to come back. They need Snell to get back,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: They need motor.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Glass Now out snell In. Snell will be fine. I mean,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: this is what they do. Though Glass Now on almost
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: any other team was not going to get ieled. They
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: even said multiple times to the media, were not ieling him,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: and then they kind of look at the roster crunch.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: They look at glass now and they're just like, why
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: not just give him a couple of weeks and then
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: someone else will be hurt and then he'll come in,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: and then someone else come out, and then he'll have
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: twenty something starts because he's not going to make thirty
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: starts the way the Dodgers.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Work to make sure.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: The Dodger people that are going to hate on us
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: for talking about Otani struggling right now, he has a
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: one twenty seven ops plus right now, right now the
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: season ends, he is the MVP of the National League?
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Case closed?
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: What the MVP right now?
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: He is? Yes, who is that?
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not doubting that.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I'm saying he's more valuable. I'm just there's people there's
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I'd have to dig in right now, Matt Olsen, he's
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: more valuable than to his team at this moment. Yeah,
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: how about Drake Baldwin.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Great season? Freaking those guys are raking right now there,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: So then you're.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Telling me, as long as show hey hits and pitches,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: he's gonna win MVP every year, then why even have it?
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That's argument, I know, it's that's I hate that argument.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's dumb. I think people need to get
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: out of just if he has an unbelievable season like
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: he's had, then yes he should win. But if he
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: has an average season, then we shouldn't just automatically give
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: it to him.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: He's twenty seven percent higher, twenty seven percent better than
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: the league average hitter right now, twenty seven percent better.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: That's not saying much. There's a lot of bad hitters
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, but it's a one twenty seven ops plus. If
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: you're just going by that, he's a three, not.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Just bat that's an all star bat one.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: And he's the leader in say Young voting right now
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: for the National League MVP. He's closed.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: M wow, Skames is coming. Do you see Skames pitch
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: against this weekend? I agree for Thursday?
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Wednesday, Thursday, Yeah, almost went the distance, but that
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: was yeah, whatever, he's two, he's three.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Like I know, I'm just saying, I just don't think
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: that we should listen. I love show. Hey, we all
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: love show.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Hey.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's probably the greatest player we'll ever see in
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: our lifetime on both sides of the ball, offense and defense,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: pitching and hitting. Come bye, I just don't. I hate
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: that we just automatically, Well, he's.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Got to perform, but he does perform. It's it's it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: a fair advantage because he pitches and hits, so he's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: uber valuable. He gives you the roster spot, he gives
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: you the all star caliber offense. He's pitching like a
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: number one starter. He's in He's insane. He's the best
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: player ever. One more thing before we jump from the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: conversation between these two teams. So Mookie's coming back for
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers, and obviously they'll keep getting healthier as they
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: go with Glass now eventually back and Edwin Diaez will
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: come back later in the year. So like the bullpen
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: should look stronger for the brave side. Akunya wasn't in
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: this series. Of course, he'll be back, maybe in a
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: weakish Hasan Kim about your debut today? I think activated
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: do they play today or tomorrow?
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: He's back, So Dubon has been one of the best
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: pickups of the off season. He's been that freaking good.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: Now you can mix and match him all over the field.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: They're starting to get like that deeper y going yeah
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: like that. What makes the cub special is, in my
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: mind is some of the depth they've got right, Like
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: the bench is really good. The Braves are going to
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: have that here. That's what's're good.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: They've got to keep their pictures healthy.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: But that's been the thing. Under a Snicker, everybody plays
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty games, and so it'll be interesting
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: to see when they have Dubon maybe in more of
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: like the utility role. He's earned more at bats. He's
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: earned us at bats once Kim comes back now. But
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: under Snicker, every one of these dudes wants to play
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: until they get hurt. So it'll be interesting to see
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: how Walt Weiss deploys these guys.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: There's already a new philosophy. Walt Weiss said, what is
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: my brand going to be? And one of the pillars
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: was that he is going to tell you sometimes you're
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: gonna sit and if you don't like it, fight him.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Best of them won't.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: He won't tell Matt Olson, that Matt Olsen will play,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: but Matt Olson's to stay healthy too.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: Right now, Austin Riley maybe should take a day, let
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Dubon play and then you get them back in there.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Maybe that gets him hot, because if he gets hot,
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: this team will be unstoppable.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: And he did say everyone but Olsen anyone else, it's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: a fair game to take a seat every once in
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a while. Olsen's also proven it. He's got the street
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: going and he's pretty like his production doesn't really dip.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: So Clubs and Braves suit this week.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's gonna be good. We're gonna get
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: to the Cubs later. Hey, a couple moves from the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: weekend the Tigers, I held carry Carpenter left a c
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: joint spring for him.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: That was after you gave up the Inside the Park Homer?
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Do Bobby Witt?
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Was it from that play?
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: The Bobby Witt.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Sixteen second inside the Park Homer.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolute freaking.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Cage workman worked out his first Tigers at ballot.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I was dead last night. Yeah, and the Tigers picked
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: up a much neat I mean whatever. It's early in
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: the season, but they had been really struggled slumping that
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: broke a one two three.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Because when I was there a couple weeks ago, he
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: said he thought he was close to coming back.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: It's it's like, you know how you need each step
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: of the progression. It's not firing in whatever step he's at, so.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: They I know, but hinchlind that he hit a certain
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: mile prower they were looking for, and they were like, Okay,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: it's still in there. He's coming back, and and I
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: guess he's sixty sixty day.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I l what's that? I think I saw it the
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: other day. It's like May twenty seventh maybe, so it's
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: not it's not that far away.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Reagan's real quick too. Elbow impingement. We
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: had talked about him last week and the Royals mentioned
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: that he might not need an il stint, but he does.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: He's had trouble his whole career staying healthy. That was
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: his thing when the Rangers traded him away. He hadn't
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: pitched much with the Rangers. But when he's healthy, he's
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: fantastic and can start playoff games for you. It's got
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: a marriage. Who did they get world as Chapman, Oh,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: right word Chaman Yep, that is a great trade for
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: both sides. Trade. Turner said, that's how dumb this game is.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: It makes no sense. He said he probably took a
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: thousand swings over four days, including three fifty on Friday
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: when oh for six Friday extended the hitless streak to
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: eleven at bats, took zero swings before Saturday's game four
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: for five. Don't swing too much? Kids? Is that the lesson?
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: So there's a thing that's swinging too much. I've always
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: said it. There's sometimes and you talk to hitting coaches,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: they will tell you these guys take so many swings
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: they put themselves into a slump. I think it was
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: either Carlos Lee or Magley or DONI is used to
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: always have a thing where they would say, if you're
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: swinging good, hit less, if you're swinging or no, if
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: you're swinging bad, hit less. If you're swinging good, hit more,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: because if you're swinging bad, you don't want to re
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: establish bad habits. If you're feeling good, okay, let's take
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: a couple more because I feel good and I want
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: to ingrain that in my brain, in that feel. But
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: then there's also people that go the other way because
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: they swing, they feel good, they talk themselves into a slump.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: So find a routine and be consistent and do the
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: same thing. That tell people that all the time. You
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: got to figure out what works for you. If it's
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: twenty five swings a day, if it's two hundred swings
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: a day, which is why too many, by the way,
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: don't do that. But just be consistent and do the
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: same thing, because if you're good, you'll figure it out
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: at some point. I'm a big believer in.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: That Trey took three point fifty. Did you're gonna hurt
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: your oblique?
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I hope not.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: Isn't that how the guys get the oblique injuries when
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: they take a thousand swings in a weekend.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily. It's usually something tighter hip or something like that.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: It's not excess swings. I mean, that's what they talk about.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Mike Trout. Mike Trout's probably one of the best players
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: of our generation here and they were like, you can't
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: date because he'll take one thousand swings to back.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Did you see this posting from the Red Sox about
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the medical staff job that they had it? Yeah, so
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: it says like the medical staff the Red Sox provide
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: the highest quality of care to our players to maximize
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. They're hiring a minor league
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: seasonal assistant athletic trainer for the remainder of the season.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: The position located in Woosted, Massachusetts, the option of Fort
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Myers after the draft, and the hourly rate is fifteen dollars.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: So you have some type of training, medical type background,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: you're taking care of players that you invest millions and
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: dollars millions of dollars in the organization. I just didn't
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: know that that's a fifteen buck an hour job.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I thought they got paid more than that. But it
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: is assistant athletic trainer. Sure, I think they're just kind
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: of well, I was going to say they were kind
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: of hoping for maybe somebody ran out of college. I
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: was just looking for their first job. Maybe that's what
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: they're looking for.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: But still, but like you're you're dealing with some players,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: and well.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: If you're going to Worcester, that's TRIPAA. Those are players
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: that and if they're going to four Myers that's usually
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: until November. That means instructional league, which usually means that's
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: their prospects.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: So My point is, if someone's got an issue, you've
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: got a lot of responsibility in your hands.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Let's sign up for it. Maybe we'll get it. Got
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: a shock, you can get the inside scoop on what's
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: going on in that organization. Yeah.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Well, also we could see, like what's the background for that.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like you did ten years of
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: school and then you pop out to do that job.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: That's something you never know.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: So maybe we do have a shot and we can
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: hang out in Fort.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Myers and you won't text me back.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: But I know him, so maybe you apply and then
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: that's how you get his attention. He's like, is this
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the Pierson key that played twenty years the show?
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: Because I'll see him and he's super nice, But then
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: I'll text him like happy birthday and he doesn't respond.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Wow, I don't.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: Know, it's weird. I like Craig. I really like Craig too.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: When I played with him, I really did like him.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: He's a different man these days, and he's also feeling
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: the heat, you know what. It could be a little
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: bit of what is it like shallow how you go
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: to the Red Sox and then eventually you move on
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: like him Bloom and now you're running a team that's
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: supposed to be in a rebuild and they are in
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: contention at the moment. Maybe some of the former Red
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Sox managers and gms are living a good life at
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: the moment. Charrington, better now, I mean it was rough
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: for a while, but better now.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I'm there's some others feels.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Back right, there's back there. I think we'll just talking
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: about the Cubs for forty five seconds. They're hot, two
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: ten game winning streaks by the forty game mark. Now
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: they're at forty one games. But that's tough to.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Do, playing unbelievably well at home. That stupid song they
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: play all the time. But they're playing well. But they're
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: going to get their come up and just one the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: weekend when they have to play the Mighty White Sox.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: When is that this weekend? This weekend?
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Rivalry Weekend's got rivalry weekend.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: It's better. I mean, the Cubs are soaring and the
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: White Sox are better than they been the last watch.
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: It'll be a much more fun series.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Murakami, Oh, he's gonna hit like four homers this weekend.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: Or he's just going to hit a home run in
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: the first game of every series that we know that.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: We played a clip during one of the breaks for
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: the YouTube audience with Brewer Territory, JP, Fire Eyesen and
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Corey Knabel. We're talking to Kurt Hoague about the miss.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: That was impressive. He was dialing it up adrenaline wise
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: against the Yankees on Friday and they swept him.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: Big weekend for the Brewers. Pitching wise, got Terang at
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the walk off Homer Mother's Day? Pretty cool.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Did you hear what Judge said about Terang? He said
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: in VP hit he can hit the ball further than
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: him and he wishes he had him on his team.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Wow? Is that is that tampering?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: It kind of is right.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't think so. Yeah, miss miss.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: The funny part is the hardest pitch miss through got hit.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: The lineup. Yeah, Yeah, that's true.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: Judge George was like, okay, watch this suckers.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, facing the big boys or when he really dialed
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: it up in the first inning. The first inning was
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: out of control. It's like it was like watching Mason Miller.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: Obviously they're very differently the pitchers, but that's Mason or
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: velocity in the first inning.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: From the starter and he was throwing strikes too.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: And he was throwing strikes. Yeah, that's the thing. I mean,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: this is his first he's.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Becoming almost I don't want to say he's becoming much
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: watch TV, but it's becoming fun to watch in the
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: because either he throws it really hard or something crazy happens.
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: You never know what's going to happen.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: And he you know how, there's certain guys fun to watch,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: like Imanaga just has so many antics and facial expressions.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Miss has that too, more of like the little kid vibe.
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: People say he's like a Pokemon nerd or something like that,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: and you you feel that when he's out there. You know,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: he's just a big dude and having fun with it
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I don't want to say naive, but
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: just like new. You know, he's he looks new, but
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I have a secret weapon and nobody else. Yeah,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: So it was a fun watch. That series was a
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: fun watch. Contrera said the walkoffs acply. They had two
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: walk offs the next couple of days.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, and the during Homer yesterday.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: That's the thing is sometimes we evaluate teams too quick,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: like Turio was out for most of the year. Now
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: he's back. This is his first week. Just now that
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: passed that he's back. Vond was huge for them last year.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: He's back. So the Yankees aren't in first place anymore.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Raise the Rays of one, fourteen of sixteen.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Raised look good. Their pitching looks good.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: They look good, and their offense looks better.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: They just kid. They got a lot of guys and
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: just get big hits. They know the Rays always have.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: They know what guys are and they tell them to
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: excel at what they are.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: They we talked about this on Friday. They're playing a
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: different brand. Their thing is to try and find market inefficiency.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: So now all of a sudden, these guys make contact,
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: they bunt, and then you have your core stars right
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: like Camon Arrow and Ronda and Yondi. But then the
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: guys around them are they.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Have Chandler Simpson gets on. It's a triple right away. Yeah.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: I love Chandler Simpson. I because the the league evaluated
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: him as not enough exit vel and then he's like,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: kiss my ass this place. Yeah I root for that
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: type of player.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Still.
