Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: In the batting cage. I was in there with him
- 0:02Speaker 1: and they told him, hey, pray shit, we got Walmer.
- 0:04Speaker 1: I said, all right, great, whatever was like games? Oliver
- 0:07Speaker 1: walked out of batting cage, hit a homer wrapped around
- 0:09Speaker 1: a foul poll.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Hey, look who it is. Step brothers in town, Fraser, Friday,
- 0:17Speaker 2: Bron Todd Father krats on the pretty neon lights behind
- 0:21Speaker 2: Todd Father. By the way, those lights light up with
- 0:25Speaker 2: different teams that Todd played for. Oh fun fat. I
- 0:28Speaker 2: forgot to put the cage all the way up. That's
- 0:30Speaker 2: on the bay. That's that's nitty gritty though.
- 0:33Speaker 1: That's what We're gonna get it up in the next
- 0:34Speaker 1: five minutes magically, I promise.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Okay, I'd like to see it happen during the show,
- 0:39Speaker 2: so we'll see my basket. One question from a fan,
- 0:42Speaker 2: I forgot your name. I'm sorry. I was looking back.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I copy pasted it somewhere, but I'm unorganized and I apologize.
- 0:47Speaker 2: But this fan basically wanted to know from you guys
- 0:51Speaker 2: where the line is, because he said, if you get
- 0:54Speaker 2: to a game a little bit late and you want
- 0:56Speaker 2: to enjoy the experience, and then it's two hours twenty minutes.
- 0:59Speaker 2: He's like, I feel like I'm getting short it a
- 1:00Speaker 2: little bit lately.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Hm hmmm. It's like somebody said that when they institute
- 1:04Speaker 3: the pitch clock, faster games, want faster games.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Listen, get there earlier, Just get yeah, just start a
- 1:11Speaker 1: half hour earlier.
- 1:12Speaker 2: That in practice is fun. Get there.
- 1:14Speaker 3: I'll let you in for the home practice.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Yeah, they always it seems to be like the last
- 1:18Speaker 1: thirty forty minutes of the visiting team.
- 1:20Speaker 3: But to watch Group three hit. Nobody wants to watch
- 1:22Speaker 3: group what's.
- 1:23Speaker 2: The deal with that? Why can't people because they don't
- 1:26Speaker 2: want to open the gates.
- 1:27Speaker 3: That's the team. Yeah, they don't want to open the
- 1:28Speaker 3: gates fries more. I don't. I don't know why they
- 1:33Speaker 3: don't open it. I mean, probably got pay people different
- 1:36Speaker 3: when it's open, uh.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Hourly, probably for some of the employees, so they don't
- 1:41Speaker 2: want it open because they're not making enough.
- 1:42Speaker 3: BP is awesome game on Monday, and I have feel
- 1:46Speaker 3: passes for BP, which I still love watching Pirates National.
- 1:52Speaker 1: That's beautiful.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Let's do an average time. I know a lot of
- 1:54Speaker 2: games are in the sixes now, but let's say it's
- 1:56Speaker 2: a seven PM game. What time should the gate be open.
- 2:00Speaker 2: If we didn't have to worry about Araley wading them.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I would say I would say four to forty five
- 2:07Speaker 1: because they're stretching with four twenty ish, I would say four.
- 2:11Speaker 3: I was gonna say four thirty, yeah, four thirty, four forty.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Five, because then you get the full experience.
- 2:17Speaker 3: You see the home team come out, they're already you
- 2:19Speaker 3: don't need to see them do their eye wash stretch
- 2:21Speaker 3: because they've already loosened up inside. And then you see
- 2:24Speaker 3: the you see group one wack it.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Or yeah, or four o'clock. Because listen, you gotta get
- 2:30Speaker 1: You gotta get in, You gotta get to your seats,
- 2:33Speaker 1: and you gotta enjoy it. And not only get that.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Get get a get a gut darg, get a dog,
- 2:38Speaker 1: maybe get a brew. Watch your kids try and catch
- 2:41Speaker 1: balls while you're sucking down a roop.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Period exactly in left field.
- 2:45Speaker 1: What do you like on your hot dog mustard? Catch
- 2:48Speaker 1: it saying a little sour crowd or.
- 2:50Speaker 3: No, yeah, I mean if it's good sour crowd.
- 2:52Speaker 1: But I don't need it, Scotty, I'm not a hot
- 2:55Speaker 1: dog gay, but got sorry, I mean I like burgers.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Okay, that'd be neat.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to tell you. Let's let's move on. Uh,
- 3:03Speaker 2: it's not like anything bad. It's just I'm very plain.
- 3:06Speaker 2: You know, catch up, let us tomato pickles. That's not
- 3:09Speaker 2: that bad. Actually, watch party Monday, next one. We're doing
- 3:12Speaker 2: no Monday, not Wednesday. Monday. Yeah, when does he pitch?
- 3:18Speaker 2: Is he pitching Monday?
- 3:19Speaker 3: He's lined up the pitch.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Oh my god, I didn't even know that.
- 3:22Speaker 3: I mean one time look ahead.
- 3:23Speaker 1: That game will be one hour and forty minutes.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Supposedly supposedly looking ahead. Hopefully they don't push him back
- 3:31Speaker 3: to Tuesday. But yeah, it'll be sick Paul Skien's day
- 3:34Speaker 3: in the in pit.
- 3:36Speaker 2: We're gonna have some special guests. It's gonna be a
- 3:38Speaker 2: nerdy or broadcast on Monday. Sometimes Lance Prasdowski, who can
- 3:43Speaker 2: beat us. He can slice and dice with the analytics
- 3:47Speaker 2: and spin one or two from Baseball America. Maybe a
- 3:51Speaker 2: JJ Cooper cameo for some of that. Call more information
- 3:54Speaker 2: on Monday, but could be a good broadcast. Not a nerd,
- 3:59Speaker 2: he's a prospect nerd.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I like that.
- 4:02Speaker 2: I would say Google nerd guru gurus are nerds.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Some nerds.
- 4:07Speaker 2: There's one thing you walk away from today, nerd, let's
- 4:10Speaker 2: hit some games better than box scores. The Atlanta Braves
- 4:24Speaker 2: and Philadelphia Phillies played a game that took thirty eight hours,
- 4:29Speaker 2: now five hours, thirty nine minutes, and ended at twelve
- 4:33Speaker 2: fifty four in the morning. They had a rain delay
- 4:37Speaker 2: for two hours and forty four minutes. I was on
- 4:39Speaker 2: the plane and I'm watching, and they're like, oh, it's
- 4:41Speaker 2: gonna get dicey. They both have to travel tomorrow. Rain
- 4:44Speaker 2: looks really bad for hours. They'll probably figure something else
- 4:47Speaker 2: out later. And I'm like, did you see what happened
- 4:49Speaker 2: to the Braves last year with the whole rescheduling and
- 4:51Speaker 2: having to play two games after the season ended, and
- 4:54Speaker 2: then going to.
- 4:55Speaker 3: The playoffs a team too.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Yeah, get pushed around. They're playing games. They're not trying
- 5:01Speaker 2: to play games. They're playing games. So they did. They
- 5:03Speaker 2: just waited a few hours, and it worked out for
- 5:05Speaker 2: them because they got a little walk off action and
- 5:07Speaker 2: they woke up the whole town, the whole county, all
- 5:10Speaker 2: of Cobb County felt the horn for eight minutes. That's
- 5:14Speaker 2: a real thing. But five hours, thirty nine minutes. According
- 5:17Speaker 2: to Bibo, Night and Gale Marcello is gonna walk off
- 5:20Speaker 2: homer krats and then real story. The horn that goes off,
- 5:23Speaker 2: I guess was broken or something. So se probably thought
- 5:26Speaker 2: that it was World War three and they had to
- 5:28Speaker 2: go in their bunkers.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Seven minutes, seven minutes at almost one o'clock in the morning.
- 5:35Speaker 3: That John was just like Jose Batista.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I tried like Jose Batista.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Hitting a homer. It's almost like it's almost like the
- 5:45Speaker 3: it's almost like the goalhorn in hockey. And it just.
- 5:52Speaker 2: The next day me too. He's like a sound machine.
- 5:57Speaker 1: That reminds That reminds me of when I was in
- 5:59Speaker 1: the hotel last year in Connecticut and the fire alarm
- 6:02Speaker 1: was pulled every hour on the hour in the middle
- 6:05Speaker 1: of the night.
- 6:06Speaker 3: That was like the fire alarm was pulled and we're
- 6:08Speaker 3: in Puerto Rico. Remember team for Team Cuba. Cuba had
- 6:12Speaker 3: a chance of you know, some people maybe escaping. Fire
- 6:14Speaker 3: alarm got pulled. Everybody was all worried about it.
- 6:18Speaker 1: I didn't know what, what are you gonna do.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Danny Duffy came out with a red bull, like two in.
- 6:24Speaker 1: The morning in the morning, just crushing a red bull.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Red bull is in his Kohitas. Are they called Kohitas?
- 6:29Speaker 3: The cigars Cubans cigarella? No, this is Cuban cigars. Cohiba Cohiba. Yeah,
- 6:36Speaker 3: so that's what he brought out.
- 6:37Speaker 1: He was and he threw all that day, didn't he
- 6:39Speaker 1: pitch that?
- 6:39Speaker 2: D ft fam. We love Harry's because you know what
- 6:44Speaker 2: really grinds my gears when you'd go into the store
- 6:47Speaker 2: back in the day and the razor is so expensive
- 6:50Speaker 2: and then it's not even a high quality razor. Well,
- 6:52Speaker 2: problem solved, and it's one of my favorite colors. This
- 6:56Speaker 2: nice little Harry's orange razor which you've been using.
- 7:00Speaker 4: So usually yesterday as a matter of fact, A nice,
- 7:01Speaker 4: nice smooth shave on my neck, no bumps, no stumps,
- 7:05Speaker 4: no cuts, very nice, very smooth. It comes with its
- 7:08Speaker 4: own shave lotion, and it also comes with a cool
- 7:12Speaker 4: case you can put it into travel with, which I
- 7:13Speaker 4: love because it's always hard to find where to put
- 7:15Speaker 4: a razor in your in your shower or shaving kit.
- 7:18Speaker 4: So I love the color, I love how smooth it was,
- 7:21Speaker 4: and I love that it comes with its own shaving
- 7:22Speaker 4: cream shaving lotion because it all is easy to find
- 7:25Speaker 4: and easy to commute with.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Get the Edge on your shave with Harry's. Normally their
- 7:29Speaker 2: trial set is thirteen dollars, but right now you can
- 7:31Speaker 2: get it for just three dollars at Harry's dot com
- 7:34Speaker 2: slash foul. That's the ft exclusive link Harrys dot com
- 7:37Speaker 2: slash foul for a three dollars trial set. Marcela Zuna
- 7:42Speaker 2: found the seats souvenir see you later. Two run Dinger
- 7:46Speaker 2: four to two, Braves walk off. I mean, it's early
- 7:50Speaker 2: in the season, but Braves need to get on the
- 7:53Speaker 2: board a little bit here. And they did great pitching
- 7:55Speaker 2: matchup to start too, with Lizardo and Schwellenbach. Would you
- 7:58Speaker 2: like here, No, I just swing.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It's just incredible to me. You think he's a really
- 8:03Speaker 1: good hitter, don't get me wrong. But at the same
- 8:05Speaker 1: time you see that sort of swing, You're like, that's
- 8:07Speaker 1: not going to relate to the big leagues in my opinion,
- 8:10Speaker 1: from what I'm saying. And his hands are just so strong.
- 8:13Speaker 1: It seems like his top hand comes off the bat
- 8:15Speaker 1: every time he swings. But he puts the battle to
- 8:17Speaker 1: the ball a lot of the times, more than none.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And this guy is just doing it. He had a
- 8:21Speaker 1: double down a line two in the beginning to start
- 8:23Speaker 1: the game off on a pitch that nobody should be
- 8:26Speaker 1: able to hit. So it's like you see some sort
- 8:28Speaker 1: of these swings and you're like, man, yeah, I can't
- 8:31Speaker 1: say much because my swing was unorthodox anyway, but you
- 8:35Speaker 1: know some of these guys just get it and they
- 8:37Speaker 1: do they need to get going here and this is
- 8:38Speaker 1: a big win. And people be like, oh, you know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: they got lucky this because of the rain. Now this
- 8:43Speaker 1: could kick start a little run here for the Braves
- 8:45Speaker 1: and get going and swelling back. Oh my god, what
- 8:48Speaker 1: a guy. I mean, this guy's I mean before the
- 8:50Speaker 1: game started fourteen innings scoreless to start the year off.
- 8:53Speaker 1: This guy is gonna be one of their back burners
- 8:55Speaker 1: for years to come.
- 8:56Speaker 3: He's he's just picking up where he left off from
- 8:59Speaker 3: last year. My biggest thing was the actual hit right
- 9:03Speaker 3: before Ozuna's. Azuna is gonna do what he does up
- 9:07Speaker 3: and down whatever. You know, your DH has to produce
- 9:10Speaker 3: Austin Riley nuked ball to right, and when he can
- 9:14Speaker 3: go that way with heaters and breaking balls, it enables
- 9:19Speaker 3: him to then hit that hanging breaking ball, the slower
- 9:22Speaker 3: breaking ball, not like that cutter away out to left.
- 9:26Speaker 3: To me, I think when they lost him last year,
- 9:29Speaker 3: that was a huge, huge hole to try to fill
- 9:33Speaker 3: in their lineup. I get it, they lost to Kunya,
- 9:35Speaker 3: they lost Strider, they had a lot of losses, But
- 9:38Speaker 3: I think this guy's underlooked in this lineup. And he
- 9:41Speaker 3: was an MVP candidate two years ago. Kind of he
- 9:46Speaker 3: was there and then he fell off.
- 9:47Speaker 2: People don't want to vote for bats only besides their timing.
- 9:51Speaker 3: But I think he is a bigger piece to this
- 9:53Speaker 3: lineup being able to you know, because you think of Olsen,
- 9:57Speaker 3: you think of what Ozuna did l next year, you
- 10:00Speaker 3: think of Acuna obviously, and then Michael Harris is leading
- 10:04Speaker 3: off Albie's when he's healthy, he's out there. Like to me,
- 10:08Speaker 3: I think Riley is a very important piece to this lineup.
- 10:12Speaker 3: And to see him drive the ball to right center
- 10:14Speaker 3: like that in a big situation, to drive the run
- 10:16Speaker 3: in elevated pitches to the opposite field, elevated hits to
- 10:21Speaker 3: the opposite field will run his scring position.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Are USUS help could be on the way. Spencer Strider
- 10:28Speaker 2: might make his season debut next week. Punched out a
- 10:32Speaker 2: casual thirteen in five and a third in his latest
- 10:36Speaker 2: minor league rehab start with Triple A just wasting bullets. No,
- 10:40Speaker 2: but in all seriousness, I mean, you didn't go through
- 10:42Speaker 2: a spring training, so they want to get him up
- 10:44Speaker 2: to now full speed. Here he's at ninety pitches.
- 10:48Speaker 3: That's not wasting pitches. You're not. You cannot bring a
- 10:52Speaker 3: guy up to the big leagues to rehab against a
- 10:55Speaker 3: big league team and put him put him and your
- 10:58Speaker 3: team the brave kind of last night. Had Schwellenbach not
- 11:02Speaker 3: gone long, their bullpen was cooked. That's why I liked
- 11:04Speaker 3: You're over yesterday. They they needed length out of them.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Now you bring in a Spencer Strider. He goes twenty
- 11:13Speaker 3: five pitches in an inning. You can't send them back
- 11:15Speaker 3: out there. Now he's built up, it's not wasted. There
- 11:18Speaker 3: are times when you have to bring guys up a
- 11:20Speaker 3: little slower. It just sucks you. Dude just went and
- 11:24Speaker 3: dominated a Triple A team. He's gonna do that in
- 11:27Speaker 3: the big leagues. Like there's no there's gonna be no change.
- 11:29Speaker 3: It's not. Don't feel bad if you were if you
- 11:31Speaker 3: were on that team.
- 11:32Speaker 1: I mean I feel bad. I'm trying to get it
- 11:34Speaker 1: up to the big leags. This guy's carving me out.
- 11:37Speaker 1: That's not cool.
- 11:38Speaker 3: You also looking.
- 11:41Speaker 2: Like it's a win win. You're either like, oh I
- 11:43Speaker 2: struck out against Strider pool, that's what's supposed to happen.
- 11:46Speaker 2: I got to face him, or you got a danger
- 11:49Speaker 2: you're not gonna get back. I got to hit off Stder.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I would always use to inger. I would always used
- 11:54Speaker 1: to treat those games like I do good here. Yeah,
- 11:57Speaker 1: they're gonna see like all right, he's he's a major
- 11:59Speaker 1: league ready And guess what I would I would be
- 12:01Speaker 1: geared up when somebody had a major league rehab stint
- 12:04Speaker 1: and you're like, let's go. You know, it didn't matter
- 12:06Speaker 1: who it was. It could have been. It was Tim
- 12:08Speaker 1: Hudson one time, and I was like, I'm like, come on,
- 12:10Speaker 1: let's go. This is my day. Maybe an extra red
- 12:13Speaker 1: bull that day, you never know.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Twenty seventeen, we faced I had six at bats against
- 12:18Speaker 3: big leaguers rehabbing, and we always joked all big league
- 12:21Speaker 3: baseballs they go farther, yeah, and they did. Like that
- 12:24Speaker 3: year I was six for six against the big league
- 12:26Speaker 3: rehabbers I faced. I had six at backs against position players.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Oh for six, Oh no, wow, that's terrible. Where at meet.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Yeah, well anyway, Uh for Strider, it sounds like Brian Snicker,
- 12:42Speaker 2: his manager with the Braves, is ready for him. He's like,
- 12:45Speaker 2: it was exactly what we wanted to happen. He got
- 12:47Speaker 2: his pitches, He's ready. He almost was saying like, bring
- 12:50Speaker 2: him up now he goes. I kind of feel like
- 12:52Speaker 2: he's right where we want him to be before he
- 12:54Speaker 2: gets here. Next start up here, So we'll see what happens. Obviously,
- 12:59Speaker 2: Kunya is still a few weeks away, but Stryder two runs,
- 13:02Speaker 2: twenty seven strikeouts and thirteen and two thirds innings in
- 13:04Speaker 2: his three rehab starts, building up to that pitch count.
- 13:07Speaker 2: I know we've talked about the Ools a lot lately,
- 13:09Speaker 2: but they're five and eight. They are last place in
- 13:12Speaker 2: the Ale. At least it's all bunched up within a
- 13:14Speaker 2: couple of games right now. There was a fan on
- 13:16Speaker 2: Twitter who was like, the Oils need leadership at the
- 13:19Speaker 2: highest levels. This team hasn't faced adversity and overcome it.
- 13:22Speaker 2: It's been one of the biggest weaknesses that the team
- 13:24Speaker 2: has had since the one hundred and one win season happened.
- 13:28Speaker 2: It's time for overdue change in the org blah blah,
- 13:30Speaker 2: blah blah blah. Steven Malaski, who covers this team, who's
- 13:32Speaker 2: been on this show. So I respect opinion. I just
- 13:35Speaker 2: decided they don't agree with it. Since twenty twenty three,
- 13:37Speaker 2: Dodgers lead with two to eight wins. Ools are second
- 13:40Speaker 2: one ninety seven.
- 13:43Speaker 3: They're leadership issues.
- 13:45Speaker 1: No, do you see their schedule? I mean, see who
- 13:48Speaker 1: the teams they played?
- 13:49Speaker 2: Also, it's thirteen games. I mean, do they have a
- 13:51Speaker 2: starting pitching problem? I think I talk about it every day.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Yes, But do they have a hoarding prospects problem? Yes?
- 13:59Speaker 1: No.
- 13:59Speaker 2: A lot of people actually have been responding and disagreeing
- 14:01Speaker 2: with you, saying that most of those prospects have graduated
- 14:04Speaker 2: and the system's not that good anymore. They needed Samuel
- 14:07Speaker 2: Bosio's a g but they're not trading him.
- 14:09Speaker 1: And it's a hundred times last year year before they
- 14:12Speaker 1: needed to trade these guys. But they did trade guys.
- 14:15Speaker 1: That's what people are saying.
- 14:16Speaker 2: A lot of the Ools fans are like, we we
- 14:18Speaker 2: did trade players, and then we don't have that much
- 14:20Speaker 2: left anymore.
- 14:22Speaker 3: I don't know, you don't have as much as you.
- 14:24Speaker 2: Had, right, I agree? Difference the example here, it wasn't
- 14:28Speaker 2: good if they did. Kobe Mayo is the example because
- 14:31Speaker 2: he is highly valued across the industry, so he was
- 14:35Speaker 2: pissed when he got sent back down. He did not
- 14:37Speaker 2: perform well in spring training, but if he was preventing
- 14:40Speaker 2: you from getting a top end starter, then a lot
- 14:43Speaker 2: of people think that was a mistake. He's not the
- 14:45Speaker 2: most well known name, but this is the guy that
- 14:48Speaker 2: they were hoping to have a nice season for them.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Ryan Bliss is having surgery today on a torn biceps.
- 14:53Speaker 2: He's expected to miss four to five months. That's essentially
- 14:56Speaker 2: the season manners are getting these long term injury he's
- 15:00Speaker 2: right now with some role players.
- 15:02Speaker 3: That sucks.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Oh, it's terrible. That's been injuries all over baseball too. Yeah,
- 15:08Speaker 1: this one hurts.
- 15:08Speaker 2: This one really hurts.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Four to five I mean that's pretty much it no
- 15:13Speaker 1: for the season.
- 15:14Speaker 3: Yeah, remember when the torn bicep A couple of guys
- 15:16Speaker 3: like check swung.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Yes and it would it was like it was like
- 15:19Speaker 1: about it was like.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Two or three, four years ago, and it was like,
- 15:23Speaker 3: how are these dudes doing this? I don't know, I
- 15:27Speaker 3: don't know, but that's that's that's tough.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Yeah, this is you know, for now an end of
- 15:31Speaker 2: the bench guy. But he's twenty five years old. He's
- 15:33Speaker 2: super fast, you know, little guy trying all the depth,
- 15:36Speaker 2: trying to make a name for himself. And yes it's
- 15:38Speaker 2: a depth thing, right. You might look at this and go, oh,
- 15:40Speaker 2: well this isn't you know, one of the key players.
- 15:42Speaker 2: But Brian's out, then who replaces him? And then if
- 15:45Speaker 2: that person's out, who replaces him? This is when the
- 15:48Speaker 2: minor league depth starts to really get tested.
- 15:50Speaker 3: Dylan Moore can only play one position a day. Dylan
- 15:55Speaker 3: Moore is gold wherever he plays for second, short, third.
- 16:00Speaker 3: He can only play one position. Need other guys aj.
- 16:04Speaker 2: It is time for people to get some new clubs,
- 16:06Speaker 2: and to do that they need to go to their
- 16:07Speaker 2: local PXG for a fitting, right.
- 16:10Speaker 3: No doubt.
- 16:10Speaker 4: I was there today. I've been there before. Last time
- 16:13Speaker 4: I was there, they gave me this killer gapage. Look
- 16:15Speaker 4: at that sweet spot, Scott, it is worn out. That
- 16:17Speaker 4: is right in the sweet spot right there. So I
- 16:19Speaker 4: went and got new clubs today, new irons. But more
- 16:22Speaker 4: importantly I got this bad boy. I got me a
- 16:23Speaker 4: new putter. This is my old putter. It's on order. Yes,
- 16:25Speaker 4: that's my putter cover PXG Mustang putter. Now I'm going
- 16:28Speaker 4: to the Allen Putter. They talked me into it because
- 16:30Speaker 4: I was draining some putts today. Bob the guy who
- 16:33Speaker 4: helped me out, He helped me with my irons. He
- 16:35Speaker 4: got them ted up perfectly. But then we went to
- 16:37Speaker 4: the putt and green. I was draining them putts because
- 16:39Speaker 4: that's the most important part of golf.
- 16:41Speaker 2: PXG fittings are fun. Schedule you're fitting today as you
- 16:45Speaker 2: can hear from aj for a limited time, you could
- 16:47Speaker 2: save up to twenty percent on your entire order. Head
- 16:50Speaker 2: over to PXG dot com slash foul. That's PXG dot
- 16:54Speaker 2: com slash foul to save up to twenty percent on
- 16:56Speaker 2: your entire order. PXG dot com slash foul restrictions apply
- 17:01Speaker 2: see site for details. Can we show how awful Kyle
- 17:06Speaker 2: Tucker's stat cast metrics are? Do it? It's all red
- 17:10Speaker 2: dark Red means really really dangerous.
- 17:13Speaker 3: It means fire.
- 17:16Speaker 2: So Sarah Langs posted this. He is in the top
- 17:19Speaker 2: percentile for every batting category.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Wow.
- 17:23Speaker 2: The lowest one is hard hit percentage in bat speed,
- 17:27Speaker 2: which are both at sixty nine percent, which means he's
- 17:31Speaker 2: graded at as sixty nine percent. Not quite top of
- 17:36Speaker 2: your class. That's slacker status. But most of the rest,
- 17:38Speaker 2: as you can see on the board here, are firmly
- 17:41Speaker 2: in the nineties bat speed.
- 17:43Speaker 3: I don't care. Kids, if you go to a showcase
- 17:45Speaker 3: and your bat speed is not in the parameters, you're fine.
- 17:51Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you're not a good player. There's a
- 17:53Speaker 3: lot of dudes that have some bat speed that swing
- 17:55Speaker 3: amiss all the time. So let's pump the brakes on that.
- 17:58Speaker 3: This is unbelievable. What a pickup by the Guns.
- 18:09Speaker 2: New segment and new little fancy intro let us know
- 18:12Speaker 2: if you like it. The good, the bad, and the
- 18:14Speaker 2: ugly from the week also gives us a chance to
- 18:18Speaker 2: hit a few stories that we might not have gotten to.
- 18:21Speaker 2: So let's start with the good. I'm gonna go first here.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Jaron Duran revealed some stories or some mental health struggles
- 18:31Speaker 2: that he was going through via story with that new
- 18:34Speaker 2: documentary that's coming out with the Red Sox, and it's
- 18:37Speaker 2: probably the best part. As most people say about the documentary,
- 18:40Speaker 2: because they're covering like a mid team last year, there's
- 18:42Speaker 2: not a lot going on. This is the stuff that
- 18:44Speaker 2: they were looking for and it has really resonated in
- 18:47Speaker 2: the sports world. So I give a ton of credit
- 18:50Speaker 2: to Jaren for telling people about this. And it's also
- 18:54Speaker 2: it's not like this was ten years ago. This was
- 18:57Speaker 2: a few years ago. He is a major league ballplayer.
- 19:00Speaker 2: He's struggling with some things in life and off the field,
- 19:03Speaker 2: and then you know, it's not making it help his
- 19:06Speaker 2: play on the field. People coming after him, Right, He's
- 19:09Speaker 2: probably getting all kinds of crap on social media. He's
- 19:12Speaker 2: hearing it from fans and it was getting to him.
- 19:15Speaker 2: So did you see it? What did you think of
- 19:16Speaker 2: the way that he laid that out.
- 19:18Speaker 3: I was so against the Netflix thing. I'm like, why
- 19:20Speaker 3: did they when they brought it out and everything? This
- 19:23Speaker 3: story alone makes the Netflix entire whatever they do with
- 19:27Speaker 3: the rest of the documentary, one hundred percent worth it. Yep,
- 19:30Speaker 3: they had when this came out, they had three times
- 19:34Speaker 3: the amount of calls to the crisis hotline, Yes for
- 19:39Speaker 3: suicide crisis hotline. That alone, you saved one person's life
- 19:44Speaker 3: by telling your story. This isn't the good, this is
- 19:46Speaker 3: the great, And it's it is hard for somebody to
- 19:50Speaker 3: say this, let alone to tell other people that aren't
- 19:55Speaker 3: like necessarily close to you. So for Jared to say
- 19:57Speaker 3: this and have that connection or allow people to have
- 20:02Speaker 3: that connection. It's awesome. It is awesome because everybody deals
- 20:06Speaker 3: with struggles differently, and you're not weak if you deal
- 20:11Speaker 3: with struggles in this way, if you have those thoughts,
- 20:14Speaker 3: talk to somebody about it. And he put that out there.
- 20:16Speaker 3: It saved his life. It saved his life. You're not
- 20:19Speaker 3: going to be a better baseball player, You're going to
- 20:21Speaker 3: be a better person if you go and talk to
- 20:23Speaker 3: somebody because other people deal with this stuff. Good for him,
- 20:27Speaker 3: great for Netflix, Like I wish they would have just
- 20:30Speaker 3: released this this episode a long time ago, because if
- 20:34Speaker 3: it saves one person, it is worth all the hassle,
- 20:38Speaker 3: all the all the work that they put into it.
- 20:41Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think, you know, to kind of wrap
- 20:43Speaker 1: it up, like playing with him for the Olympics, he
- 20:46Speaker 1: was in the qualifying mouth yea in Port Saint Lucy.
- 20:50Speaker 1: We had such a good time. And you don't know
- 20:52Speaker 1: what anybody's going through. People could put on the front,
- 20:54Speaker 1: they could smile all day. You don't know inside exactly
- 20:56Speaker 1: what they're feeling, you know. I thought, you know, at
- 20:59Speaker 1: the end of the day, he's such a good kid,
- 21:01Speaker 1: he's a great guy. I could talk to him now.
- 21:02Speaker 1: We have conversations, we joke about everything. But I kind
- 21:05Speaker 1: of wish I knew a little bit more because I
- 21:07Speaker 1: would have loved to talk to him and you know,
- 21:09Speaker 1: help him out. But at the same time, for him
- 21:11Speaker 1: to come out, man, this is absolutely a miracle man,
- 21:15Speaker 1: because he's saved a bunch of lives now too as well.
- 21:17Speaker 1: So I mean, if that number is just one, that's great.
- 21:20Speaker 1: That's that's a monster number to me when it comes
- 21:22Speaker 1: to this situation.
- 21:24Speaker 2: So I'm glad we got a few minutes there, a
- 21:26Speaker 2: lot of respect for him. One more on the good
- 21:29Speaker 2: This is kind of the crazy. They talked about it
- 21:33Speaker 2: last night. It's from an article with mace elb who
- 21:35Speaker 2: writes on the Phillies and the Athletic. Jose Albarado's day
- 21:39Speaker 2: starts with six espresso shots.
- 21:43Speaker 3: Six tell me about that. I don't drink coffee. No,
- 21:46Speaker 3: I'm not a coffee man.
- 21:47Speaker 2: I'm not a coffee expert because I'm a late bloomer.
- 21:50Speaker 3: You're a coffee no.
- 21:51Speaker 2: No, I know, but I've been doing it my whole
- 21:54Speaker 2: life and my tolerance is a little bit low. So
- 21:56Speaker 2: I was told that, like, oh, I'm such a rookie
- 21:58Speaker 2: with my you know, one or two shots of espresso
- 22:03Speaker 2: six to me sounds insane. And I told people this,
- 22:06Speaker 2: like I tried to pull some people about it and
- 22:09Speaker 2: they're like, oh, yeah, that's that's fine. I'm like, no, no,
- 22:11Speaker 2: not throughout the whole day, right, because like, yep, mornings
- 22:13Speaker 2: at night I'll do a pre workout just coffee and
- 22:16Speaker 2: said anything else, right, I'm like, no, no, that's how
- 22:19Speaker 2: he starts his day with six a banger six to start.
- 22:25Speaker 2: To me, that seems like a lot. But maybe I'm off.
- 22:27Speaker 3: If you put it all in one cup, does it
- 22:31Speaker 3: taste like does an espresso taste.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Well, you can counter it. I mean you're saying, if
- 22:36Speaker 2: it's just espresso shots, yeah, you can just dump that
- 22:38Speaker 2: in and screwed some some nut milk milk or oat
- 22:47Speaker 2: milk or whatever. Maybe you know, sugar it up if
- 22:49Speaker 2: you're into that. No, I interrupted you, No.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Not at all. We'll tell you.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Go ahead, No it is.
- 23:04Speaker 2: I knew it.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Hey, at the end of the day, I hate to
- 23:07Speaker 1: be his forehead when he stops drinking this headache he's
- 23:11Speaker 1: gonna have for a day and a half or two
- 23:13Speaker 1: days once he does. If he goes, you know what
- 23:17Speaker 1: I'm taking out that next day, headache, the caffeine headache.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god, espresso splitting. That was good.
- 23:24Speaker 3: That was good.
- 23:25Speaker 2: I would be in the hospital if I did six
- 23:27Speaker 2: right now, not literally, but i'd be. I'd be thumping
- 23:34Speaker 2: too much. I mean, yeah, sometimes I do.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I think.
- 23:37Speaker 2: I think my career high that I remember is maybe
- 23:40Speaker 2: like four ish for a game where it went pretty quick,
- 23:44Speaker 2: and I was like, I'm calling the game. And I
- 23:49Speaker 2: called the game and it was a four hour game.
- 23:50Speaker 2: And I remember I was on the phone someone after
- 23:52Speaker 2: and I was like, I don't remember anything. My mouth
- 23:55Speaker 2: I actually blacked out. I was like, I don't know
- 23:57Speaker 2: anything I just said in that conversation for four hours.
- 24:00Speaker 2: I do not know. Like you could have told me, hey, dude,
- 24:02Speaker 2: you got canceled ninety times, you got fired, you got
- 24:05Speaker 2: this that Like I have no idea what I.
- 24:07Speaker 3: Just said, and you were like that was great that.
- 24:08Speaker 3: I was unbelievable. And I saw the game. I saw everything.
- 24:11Speaker 3: Everything was just slowed down.
- 24:12Speaker 2: For me and I had a headache. That headache the
- 24:15Speaker 2: worst I could throw down some other beverages, but it's
- 24:18Speaker 2: espresso shots.
- 24:20Speaker 3: Like people are like, oh, there's no way it's true.
- 24:22Speaker 3: You are not getting a tattoo of a small cut
- 24:25Speaker 3: unless it's unless that's like, that's life. He said, coffee
- 24:30Speaker 3: is life. That's real. Yeah, this dude throws a billion too.
- 24:35Speaker 1: He does.
- 24:35Speaker 2: He sits down with kids and goes, you know, let
- 24:37Speaker 2: me teach you a little something about life, and it
- 24:39Speaker 2: starts with coffee. All right, let's hit the bad anyone
- 24:44Speaker 2: want to throw them out first? I have a good one.
- 24:47Speaker 2: I'll start. You gotta be quick otherwise I'm going.
- 24:49Speaker 1: All right, okay, you got one. My mine was the
- 24:52Speaker 1: Pittsburgh thing with the King shot in the outfield.
- 24:54Speaker 3: That was they doubled down on it.
- 24:57Speaker 2: They did with bricks. We didn't talk about this. There
- 25:01Speaker 2: was a brick component.
- 25:04Speaker 3: So you you're talking about the one on the wall.
- 25:06Speaker 2: We covered that.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Then they were like, oh wait, we're going to pile
- 25:10Speaker 3: all these bricks that people gave had their names on
- 25:13Speaker 3: them to raise money for the Roberto Clemente Foundation in
- 25:18Speaker 3: a pile. It was construction. They had to do construction, Like,
- 25:23Speaker 3: are you kidding me? They don't even have any more
- 25:25Speaker 3: futs to shoot, and we're not even talking about baseball things.
- 25:28Speaker 3: We're talking about like life and like organizational just decision making.
- 25:34Speaker 2: When someone gives money to a team or they do
- 25:38Speaker 2: this at theaters a lot right outside of theaters for
- 25:41Speaker 2: a brick, and it's usually going to charity if you're
- 25:44Speaker 2: getting rid of those bricks and for a fine cause
- 25:46Speaker 2: it's added like they said, they're cycling them and then
- 25:48Speaker 2: you know, going to put new ones in or whatever. Okay,
- 25:50Speaker 2: no one's going to complain about that. You need to
- 25:53Speaker 2: let someone know, I mean preferably you need to let
- 25:55Speaker 2: them all know. Send an email blast out that needs
- 25:57Speaker 2: to go out somewhere publicly, so people just don't show
- 26:00Speaker 2: up and go, where's my brick for life? It's gone, it's.
- 26:05Speaker 3: In a pile.
- 26:06Speaker 2: It seems like an easy communication process and there are
- 26:09Speaker 2: a number of ways to do it right even if
- 26:11Speaker 2: you were too lazy to send the email out. If
- 26:13Speaker 2: you're like, I don't have the info for everyone, then
- 26:16Speaker 2: you need to put that out on social media. So
- 26:17Speaker 2: at least it's been known and people know that if
- 26:20Speaker 2: they did enough telephone and ask someone they've been Oh,
- 26:23Speaker 2: they put something out there. They're they're gonna make it
- 26:25Speaker 2: even nicer. They're just they're fixing things up, Okay, no problem,
- 26:28Speaker 2: but you had people call them like, Yo, my brick's gone,
- 26:30Speaker 2: come get your brick. Can't do that. You just can't
- 26:34Speaker 2: do that.
- 26:34Speaker 3: My thing is, and maybe this is thinking too deep
- 26:37Speaker 3: into it. Workers were doing this, and if your workers,
- 26:43Speaker 3: like they're considered lower level employees than a sales rep,
- 26:48Speaker 3: a president, you know, all those people aren't able to
- 26:51Speaker 3: have enough of a voice in an organization to say
- 26:54Speaker 3: whoa people like we're getting rid of a historic sign
- 27:00Speaker 3: to put up a Surfside beverage, like like if somebody,
- 27:06Speaker 3: somebody had to have raised a question on that. Somebody
- 27:09Speaker 3: had to have had a question like why are we
- 27:12Speaker 3: getting rid of these bricks? These have people's names on them.
- 27:15Speaker 3: And somebody goes, hey, I don't say anything. Do your
- 27:18Speaker 3: work like that ain't right either.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I just think it's hilarious to today's world that you
- 27:23Speaker 2: think you could get away with taking down twenty one
- 27:26Speaker 2: and also not being transparent about it and thinking that
- 27:29Speaker 2: that wasn't going to get flagged.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Well, they put it. They put that money that they
- 27:33Speaker 3: got from Surfside into a free agent.
- 27:35Speaker 2: That's why the way actually let me know about that. Yeah,
- 27:38Speaker 2: because I didn't see it. But That's the thing is
- 27:40Speaker 2: like you really thought you were going to just pull
- 27:43Speaker 2: a fast one. Who made That's not oversight, That is
- 27:47Speaker 2: you knew what you were doing.
- 27:49Speaker 3: That was hoping. They were hoping it would go over
- 27:52Speaker 3: fine because they even said, oh, we built the wall
- 27:55Speaker 3: to be twenty one feet and there's two twenty ones
- 27:58Speaker 3: on the wall, so you knew. You were like, ah,
- 28:01Speaker 3: we have enough. That's what they said. It was enough enough.
- 28:05Speaker 2: This was an add on after COVID or whatever, so
- 28:07Speaker 2: we're just taking it back off. Can't do that. And again,
- 28:11Speaker 2: transparency is key here. People just want to know what's
- 28:13Speaker 2: going on. One more on this category. Actually, let's put
- 28:17Speaker 2: this in the ugly this we'll finish with this. Cody
- 28:21Speaker 2: Bellinger was just heading back to the hotel looking for
- 28:24Speaker 2: a good time to watch some March Madness games and
- 28:27Speaker 2: he was puking. The Wings did not sit and he
- 28:32Speaker 2: said it was so bad. He's done with Wings and
- 28:35Speaker 2: he put a time limit on it for five years.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Five year ban on Wings for Cody who missed. Did
- 28:43Speaker 2: he miss a game from that, Yeah he did, but
- 28:45Speaker 2: he was he was ill, he was feeling it. That's ugly.
- 28:49Speaker 1: I've never heard of it from wings. I guess the chicken. Yeah, yeah,
- 28:53Speaker 1: you're not cooked. That's tough chickens. Yeah, that's tough. I
- 29:01Speaker 1: mean it's ugly because the ugliness is what came out
- 29:04Speaker 1: of his mouth. So, you know, especially during you know,
- 29:08Speaker 1: March Madness time.
- 29:09Speaker 3: Come on, you're you're upset about him missing the game.
- 29:12Speaker 1: I am, I'm upset about that, But yeah, that's tough.
- 29:15Speaker 3: I know he didn't get it from the clubhouse. Man,
- 29:19Speaker 3: I've gone to talk about some spread, talk about some
- 29:22Speaker 3: spread in the Yankees clubhouse. That was that was he
- 29:24Speaker 3: was not getting. Actually they might have been on the
- 29:26Speaker 3: road in Detroit.
- 29:27Speaker 1: Yeah, they were on the road.
- 29:29Speaker 3: Is that that's when he got sick in Detroit? I
- 29:31Speaker 3: don't know, big league big league spreads can't have roll,
- 29:34Speaker 3: can't have roll chicken wings. I don't think. I don't
- 29:37Speaker 3: think that's where it came from. But man, that's that's tough.
- 29:40Speaker 2: And you miss a game out of it, and also
- 29:42Speaker 2: usually takes a few days at least field.
- 29:45Speaker 3: That game never matters in the play.
- 29:49Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody ever makes the playoffs by one game, right.
- 29:52Speaker 3: I wonder if he's at the point where he like
- 29:53Speaker 3: sees or smells wings, like if he got like honey barbecue,
- 29:57Speaker 3: and he's.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Like, it's like the guy with the nut allergyes like.
- 30:01Speaker 3: You smell it and you're like, Nope, I can't do it.
- 30:04Speaker 2: I still remember when I was in middle school a
- 30:07Speaker 2: certain subplace food poisoned me and it was so bad
- 30:11Speaker 2: for a few days. I know the brand. They still exist.
- 30:14Speaker 2: I'm not going to call them out.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Two and there's a lot.
- 30:17Speaker 2: This one's a little more out there, but they used
- 30:19Speaker 2: to be big. I love Jersey Mics, but it's not
- 30:24Speaker 2: that they weren't around twenty five years ago. But after that,
- 30:28Speaker 2: I was like, I never having that again. Also, the
- 30:30Speaker 2: type of sub I had, I was like, never touching
- 30:32Speaker 2: that again, never again. It was so bad. I'm just
- 30:35Speaker 2: like I still have, like I have something right now.
- 30:39Speaker 2: I mean a year ago, I got sick off off
- 30:42Speaker 2: pad time from a place that I had gone to
- 30:44Speaker 2: multiple times, and I was like, your suspension off pad time,
- 30:47Speaker 2: I'm back, I'm back one year, one year suspension. I
- 30:51Speaker 2: just I just got back on. I had my first
- 30:53Speaker 2: pretty recently. I actually didn't feel great after that one either,
- 30:55Speaker 2: so might dock on another six months.
- 30:58Speaker 1: What is a pad time? What did you say?
- 31:02Speaker 2: Pad tie?
- 31:02Speaker 1: You know what's that?
- 31:05Speaker 3: What is it?
- 31:06Speaker 1: Chicken? What is it?
- 31:07Speaker 3: What?
- 31:08Speaker 2: It could be chicken, it could be shrimp. Yeah, like
- 31:10Speaker 2: you never tie food? You've had tie food?
- 31:13Speaker 3: Yeah, here we go.
- 31:16Speaker 2: They're not doing thy food down here. And and honestly,
- 31:19Speaker 2: and I can speak because I'm a Jersey guy too,
- 31:21Speaker 2: they weren't doing it well in my Yeah, you gotta be,
- 31:26Speaker 2: you gotta be in cities. Yeah, there's certain Asian food

- 32:47Speaker 3: either either way, if you watched because I was watching
- 32:50Speaker 3: the game live, if you watch the Trevor story at
- 32:53Speaker 3: bat to actually put some wood on a slider where
- 32:58Speaker 3: it was I could for him. That was difficult because
- 33:04Speaker 3: who was in the game. Was it Sandlin? No? Not
- 33:06Speaker 3: Sandlin anyway? Hand look submarine side arm slider that was
- 33:11Speaker 3: just sweeping. It was starting at his front knee and

- 34:32Speaker 3: What do we like?
- 34:35Speaker 1: Easy for me? You want me to go first?
- 34:36Speaker 2: Are you gonna say Yankees?
- 34:37Speaker 1: No?
- 34:38Speaker 2: I actually think Yankees shot it's pretty good.
- 34:40Speaker 1: But yeah, I think no. I think it's so we're
- 34:42Speaker 1: talking about what game we want to watch, or we talk.
- 34:45Speaker 2: About series or games. Yeah, I mean people just want
- 34:47Speaker 2: to know it's Friday. What am I kicking back and
- 34:49Speaker 2: watching a lot of people don't look at schedules until
- 34:53Speaker 2: basically right around when the games are starting. I've actually
- 34:56Speaker 2: heard a lot of players don't have any clue who
- 34:58Speaker 2: they're playing, even like day later. At times, some know
- 35:01Speaker 2: everything and some know nothing.
- 35:03Speaker 3: You gotta be prepared. You put your scattering report together.
- 35:05Speaker 3: I'm on the plane looking at that's us team, like, yeah,
- 35:09Speaker 3: you better know who are but hey, maybe maybe not? Okay,
- 35:13Speaker 3: I need to see I need to see the Orioles
- 35:17Speaker 3: and the blue Jays are the blue Jays for real?
- 35:19Speaker 3: Taking three or four from a team that a lot
- 35:21Speaker 3: of people have picked to be in the lead in
- 35:26Speaker 3: the American League East in Boston and the O's need
- 35:29Speaker 3: to show me something they're they're going to Missouri to
- 35:32Speaker 3: show me state. They're going home. They're not going to Missouri,
- 35:34Speaker 3: but they need to show me something. So to me,
- 35:37Speaker 3: it's an Al East matchup that right now, two teams
- 35:41Speaker 3: are at different spots. The Jay's coming off of high
- 35:44Speaker 3: and the Orioles figuring out, wait, like we gotta like
- 35:47Speaker 3: sweep a series to get back to five hundred good.
- 35:49Speaker 2: Look you said a lot of people are expecting who
- 35:51Speaker 2: to be good in the Al East. The Oriols.
- 35:52Speaker 3: No, No, the Red Sox because of the Red almost
- 35:55Speaker 3: swept the Red Sox. They got three or four from
- 35:58Speaker 3: the Red Sox, and nobody saw that coming because you think, okay,
- 36:02Speaker 3: the Red Sox they're at home, they're in Fenway, they're
- 36:06Speaker 3: gonna take the Blue Jays down. And they didn't. The
- 36:08Speaker 3: Blue Jays came in and they were like, nah, Vladdie's
- 36:11Speaker 3: Laddie's getting all the meals. He's paying for everything after
- 36:14Speaker 3: his new five hundred million dollar contract. Maybe maybe I
- 36:19Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know. I never really felt like
- 36:21Speaker 3: anything different if I've never been on a team where
- 36:24Speaker 3: somebody got five hundred million dollars. But like you just
- 36:27Speaker 3: go out and play anyway, But they made it. They
- 36:31Speaker 3: proved a point. They beat the Red Sox three out
- 36:33Speaker 3: of four. Can they do the same thing and go
- 36:35Speaker 3: into Camden Yards and do the same thing. That's a
- 36:38Speaker 3: to me, that's a big series.
- 36:40Speaker 2: Chicano tonight against Baden Francis.
- 36:42Speaker 3: Who's been pretty good. Good Bowden and Chicano too. Chicano's
- 36:49Speaker 3: got a two. Don't quote me. I think he's got
- 36:55Speaker 3: like a two six, two eight nine. Okay, one on
- 36:58Speaker 3: one two eight nine. Has it been striking anybody out?
- 37:03Speaker 2: Which is I guess not his game?
- 37:04Speaker 3: Right, It's yeah, it's not gonna be his game unless
- 37:06Speaker 3: he developed something that we don't see. But he's got
- 37:10Speaker 3: an e ra. He doesn't give up runs. Yeah, Dalton
- 37:12Speaker 3: France has been much better. But it'll be interesting.
- 37:17Speaker 2: You never told us.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Yeah, Royal Guardians. I want to see Guardians coming off
- 37:22Speaker 1: of a really nice series, even though they played a
- 37:25Speaker 1: really bad team. But I want to see where these
- 37:29Speaker 1: two stack up early in the season here because these
- 37:31Speaker 1: are two favorites in their division. And we'll see where
- 37:35Speaker 1: they're at in Cleveland and see if Bobby Wick could
- 37:38Speaker 1: keep the line moving Love scoring wins. So not many
- 37:42Speaker 1: runs by those Royals. But when they do, they click
- 37:44Speaker 1: on all cylinders.
- 37:46Speaker 2: See what Robbie Ray looks like tonight against Marcus Stroman.
- 37:49Speaker 3: Robbie are the Giants real?
- 37:52Speaker 1: Can they? Good?
- 37:53Speaker 2: Litmus test here? Coming up? Weird series against the Reds.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Blanked a couple of times, great while off comeback in
- 38:01Speaker 2: the last one.
- 38:02Speaker 3: The score runs. You go and play the Yankees. Your
- 38:05Speaker 3: defense isn't gonna bring balls back out of the bleachers
- 38:09Speaker 3: had the score runs. Robbie Ray's gonna have to be
- 38:11Speaker 3: one of the guys. I mean, you think about that rotation.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Verlander's not gonna step up and be an ace, and
- 38:17Speaker 3: I don't think they got him for that. They got
- 38:18Speaker 3: him to make thirty two starts. Logan webs your ace.
- 38:22Speaker 3: He's your shutdown guy, although he's had some trouble against
- 38:26Speaker 3: the Yankees. Hit sinker ball guys, so you can't lean
- 38:29Speaker 3: on him to get you that automatic dub. They have
- 38:32Speaker 3: to score runs.
- 38:33Speaker 1: And don't let yeah, don't let Walmar floor is hitting
- 38:36Speaker 1: the ninth. Then if you're the Yankees five times with
- 38:41Speaker 1: no don't be careful, put four up and walk them. Really,
- 38:44Speaker 1: the guy's unbelievable. The number say it, bro he he
- 38:47Speaker 1: told me and our assistant hitting coach. He was literally
- 38:53Speaker 1: in the batting cage. I was in there with him,
- 38:55Speaker 1: and they told him, hey, pray shit, we got Walmar.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I said, all right, great whatever. And one was that
- 38:59Speaker 1: game over, walked out of the batting cage, hit a
- 39:02Speaker 1: homer wrapped around the foul pole, came in. He's that
- 39:06Speaker 1: that real story, real story, he said, games over, games over,
- 39:10Speaker 1: walk off, homer, pinch it. It was like a fifteen
- 39:13Speaker 1: pitcher bat to foul ball, foul ball, foul ball, foot.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Down, clear this Now he's doing like this thing. It's
- 39:21Speaker 3: like out here. And then he goes and his swing
- 39:24Speaker 3: is so short.
- 39:25Speaker 1: Short, and he's he's really tall too, people sneaky tall guy.
- 39:31Speaker 2: But yes, okay, I'm curious here. Let's continue this for
- 39:35Speaker 2: a moment. Welcome. He was a big deal prospect with
- 39:37Speaker 2: the Mets. It's been a minute, way back in the
- 39:40Speaker 2: day at this point, right he.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Remember he was crying when he was about to get traded.
- 39:44Speaker 2: Yeah, the Milwaukee Gomez that whole show, right, Why can't
- 39:48Speaker 2: he do this all the time? Why is he so
- 39:50Speaker 2: good in the clutch spots? You know, some people are like.
- 39:52Speaker 1: People that stuff? Is there a clutch gene. We talked
- 39:55Speaker 1: about that there's something here.
- 39:57Speaker 2: I mean, he's not bad players, good players, good players situations,
- 40:00Speaker 2: and now he's getting attention for it because it's been
- 40:02Speaker 2: going on for a long time.
- 40:04Speaker 3: He's insane guys that I've talked to that are good
- 40:08Speaker 3: in the clutch and aren't good. He's still good player,
- 40:12Speaker 3: but aren't as good other times. They complicate facing starters.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Starter's got three or four pitches. I got to try
- 40:20Speaker 3: to hit all of them. I'm not saying this is
- 40:22Speaker 3: what he's doing. I'm saying what I've seen, what I've witnessed.
- 40:26Speaker 3: They're trying to hit every single pitch. He's got a curveball,
- 40:29Speaker 3: he's got a slider. He's got to change up well,
- 40:31Speaker 3: like sit on one pitch that he throws sixty percent of
- 40:35Speaker 3: the time. Bullpen guys come in heater slider. He's not
- 40:40Speaker 3: ever gonna go to the slider because it's a lefty,
- 40:42Speaker 3: or he's always gonna go to the slider because he's
- 40:45Speaker 3: and the clutch dudes that do that and aren't as
- 40:49Speaker 3: good consistently. That to me, that is what is the separator.
- 40:54Speaker 3: And it's like, so why doesn't he do that all
- 40:56Speaker 3: the time. It's not that it's not that easy for everybody.
- 40:59Speaker 2: It's not.
- 41:00Speaker 3: But he is clutching. I said the other day he's
- 41:02Speaker 3: got He's tied with Bryce Harper. Bryce Harper thirteen walkoffs
- 41:08Speaker 3: since they've both been in the league.
- 41:09Speaker 1: It's incredible. Game already told us.
- 41:24Speaker 2: All right, let's slap first off. Obviously, if you're in
- 41:28Speaker 2: the chat, you can do that on the YouTube channel
- 41:30Speaker 2: and you can watch even if you're watching on TV
- 41:31Speaker 2: and you want to ask us questions and all of that.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Christopher in the chat is not always saying nice things,
- 41:37Speaker 2: and I'm pointing it out right now. This is the
- 41:39Speaker 2: second day I think we're talking about him, but this
- 41:40Speaker 2: will be the last. Christopher. If I see more mean things,
- 41:43Speaker 2: you're gonna get put in time out. But I will
- 41:45Speaker 2: ask your question to the guys. He said, if you're
- 41:47Speaker 2: the Orioles, would you rather have Santander or Tyler O'Neill
- 41:51Speaker 2: on your team? Right now? You think it's close, I
- 41:56Speaker 2: love me some muscles, Myron and I are Tyler O'Neil.
- 41:59Speaker 2: But Anthony Santandero so.
- 42:01Speaker 3: Good last year it was a beast.
- 42:03Speaker 2: Also, don't go off. I don't even care what their
- 42:05Speaker 2: numbers are the first few weeks it's back in the
- 42:08Speaker 2: Baseball card action. Anthony Santandero was the heart and soul
- 42:11Speaker 2: of the lineup last year, both in the dugout and
- 42:14Speaker 2: of course on the field with his forty something dingers.
- 42:17Speaker 2: So I'm taking Santander.
- 42:19Speaker 1: He did strug out three times just for you.
- 42:22Speaker 2: I'm struck out three times?
- 42:24Speaker 1: All good? I agree, I agree on.
- 42:26Speaker 3: New right, I'm I'm taking Santander. But I can see
- 42:30Speaker 3: the question. I think everybody's enamored by the what if?
- 42:35Speaker 3: What if Tyler O'Neill he's gonna O'Neill's gonna have a
- 42:38Speaker 3: better on base percentage? What if he gets a full
- 42:43Speaker 3: healthy season? Well, thirty four homers in a one hundred
- 42:47Speaker 3: and thirty games one year, like, there's definitely a higher ceiling.
- 42:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 42:51Speaker 3: I like the consistency of Santander. Santander's had some seasons
- 42:54Speaker 3: like this too. I feel like he's starting to keep
- 42:58Speaker 3: his consistency at a higher level. I don't, I don't.
- 43:02Speaker 3: I think it's closer than you than you think. Okay,
- 43:04Speaker 3: I think it's closer than you think. But for the
- 43:06Speaker 3: Orioles team, I think it's Santander for sure, just because
- 43:10Speaker 3: they know him. I'm not saying everyone's spoken super highly
- 43:13Speaker 3: of Tyler O'Neill, but the dudes loved him. He succeeded there.
- 43:18Speaker 3: He knows how to play in Baltimore. I would have
- 43:22Speaker 3: to say Santan.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Okay, when you look at Santa Nera so many deferals,
- 43:26Speaker 2: the numbers for those two are actually a little a
- 43:28Speaker 2: little closer than you think. Cratsats we got a minute.
- 43:32Speaker 3: I mean, sneaky, sneaky five hundred team right now, that's true.
- 43:38Speaker 3: The Marlins very clean. I mean, it's hard to State of.
- 43:42Speaker 2: Blue though, is really working. It's even better in person
- 43:44Speaker 2: from what it looks like on TV right now.
- 43:46Speaker 3: And there's a lot of like agreed, there's reds, there's like,
- 43:52Speaker 3: there's the black is sharp, everything together nice legit.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Yep, Hey, Monday, we'll see everyone for regular Foul Territory
