  Speaker 1: of Scott and we brought in another player for a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: players only addition here on foul Territory on this Thursday.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's beautiful here in Florida. I don't know how it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is in Pennsylvania, but I'm sure the weather sucks up
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: there because you're too close to New Jersey. In Texas.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: It's always nice in Texas. But welcome to players only.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Kevin Palar. How's all in Blue Jay Bluebird Territory over there?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's going well.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Just filmed an episode obviously kind of a grindy win
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: last night, but what a great matchup between those two
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: young starting pitchers.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: K what's happening in the Philadelphia area? Anything good? They
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: got smoked by the Reds. They didn't have a good series.
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: Freaking rain, rain, rain, rain. They got the game in
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: before the rain, though, but day off enjoy it. But
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I don't really care right now. I'm youth baseball. We
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: got district finals coming tomorrow because today it got rained out,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: and then we got we got MESSAIAU University taking on
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Baldwin Wallace tomorrow. Super Regionals, Division III National Championship down
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: the road.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's awesome, and everyone we love kids sports, KP.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: How old are your kids now?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: I got an eight year old, a six year old
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: and a nine month old eight month old boof.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I played golf the other day with Brad Hand and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: uh Chris Johnson and they were talking about the nine
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and the ten New Baseball and I was like, thank
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you that I am done with the nine and ten
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: New Baseball. They're talking about practice schedules, travel tournaments in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: the summer, going here and there. I'm like, they're eight
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and nine, guys. Calm down, KP. You don't have to
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: send your kid all over the country at eight years
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: old to play baseball. He'll be okay.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know, I know, I know. It's it's it's
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: a it's a tough climate right now to be a
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: parent in. And hopefully parents can kind of temper down
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: their their their their you know, the way they they
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: talk to umpires and that the way that they feel
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: like their kid has to be, you know, all world
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: at six years old to make it to the major leagues.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: You know, we had on my own podcast to the
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: majors that's kind of what we do, and we had
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Buck showaltern and we talked about kind of the climate
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: of youth baseball a little bit. And he texted me
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: the other day and said he was at his grandson's
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I think like nine U game, and he said he
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: lasted one inning behind home plate and then had to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: go sit in the outfield because of the things he
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: was hearing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Yes, and by the way, and by the way, the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: best kid at eight is not going to be the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: best kid at eighteen. You could almost guarantee that, you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: can almost that's my lock.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: That's my lock.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, luck of the century, block, of the millennium, whatever
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: you want to call it. Your best kid at eight nine,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: probably even up to even twelve or thirteen will not
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: be the best kid when you get to high school
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: and into college. I can almost promise all of that,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: because the kids are bigger, stronger, whatever it is. I mean,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: not only on your podcast KP, but also Dirt from
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Dugout with Carl Ravich and Justin I always want
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: to say, I'm always going to call him just a muscle.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But I know that's not right. I know, but I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: always it always looks like muscles. So uh, let's let's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: charge him out here. We've had enough of our venting
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about youth baseball. Let's charge him ount, Let's charge them out.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Here we go. What'd you guys think last night? Dodgers
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: beat the Padres? Show Hey, Show only threw five innings,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: ruined my lock with only not a lot of strikeouts.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: First pitch though, whack, leadoff homer, Dodgers up one nothing,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Dodgers lost, didn't play great, but then they came back
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to win the last two in this series. What are
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: we thinking about the Dodgers and the Padres? Ek?
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's I think it's been a good series.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Neither team really looks like they have too much offense.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: I didn't think Sho Hay was gonna hit last night.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: He did, but is that why they took him out
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: after the fifth?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Was it? I think it was eighty eight pitches. Yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: the Padres put together some good at bats, But to me,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, is this how they're gonna deal
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: with show Hey the rest of the year. He's dominating
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: on the mat. He clearly wants to dominate on the mound,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and he's totally fine with only hitting two eighty and
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: you know, maybe thirty five home runs at the plate.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I say only because I'm kind of sarcastically joking. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: if this is what they're gonna do with show hey,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: because it's gonna be enough. They're gonna make the playoffs.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: The Padres aren't going to catch them, blah blah blah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: The Diamacks are playing well, but they're still way behind.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: But to me, I think the bigger story is do
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: the Padres have enough offense? Because I know the Dodgers'
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: offense is struggling a little bit ti Oscar hit the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: second deck home or late. But do the Padres have
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: enough offense? Not just not just to not just last
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: night because show Hay has been nasty, but do they
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: have enough to push them through to win the World Series,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: make the playoffs? Sure they have enough. Do they have
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: enough to win the World Series?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't know. I don't know.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: But how many at bats do you think it's enough
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: at bats to be like, hey, I think this is
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: kind of the type of year that some of these
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: players are gonna have because obviously, if you look at
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the back of the baseball cards of a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: these Padre hitters, you're gonna expect a lot more out
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: of these guys. But obviously, you know the Manny Machado's
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: of the world, the Xander Bogarts, they are aging a
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: little bit. Obviously, great to see a buddy of mine,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Gavin Sheets, having a great year hitting in the middle
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: of that order. But what's going on with Fernando Tatis
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Junior is He's not gonna be this bad all year.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: But is he going to be closer to the guy
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: that he was a couple of years ago.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's I think we're gonna
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: have to figure out.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: But I think the thing that stood out to me
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: in the game last night is I show Hate to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Me is always kind of this cool, calm, collective presence.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: You know, obviously he cares a lot. We everyone talks
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: about his work ethic and what he does behind closed doors.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: But to see the emotion last night when he got
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: that basis though that double played in the inning. It's
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: just a different side of him that I haven't really
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: seen much out of him before, and just really cool
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to see him out there doing this thing on the mound.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: But I think the Dodgers are I think we saw
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: it a little bit last year too, Maybe not so
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: much with Show Heytani, but them collectively just understanding that
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: they're built to win the postseason and to win the
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: World Series. Like whatever happens in the regular season, there's
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: kind of be ebbs and flows. But I think coming
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: off back to back, you know, World Series, obviously going
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: super late into the season, I think you're seeing them
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: protect the players a little bit more, probably no more
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: than show hey. Probably the reason he's not hitting every
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: single day, he's getting some days off. I know the
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: struggles have probably played a little bit into that as
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: well too, you know, him only going five yesterday. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: know he pitched in and out of some trouble yesterday,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: only eighty eight pitches. But I think they are just
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: trying to do their best to let this team kind
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: of kind of peak as they get into like September, October,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and then obviously through the postseason. So it's just going
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to be interested to see how they kind of, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: for a lack of better terms, load manage a lot
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: of their players this year as they're trying to win
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: their third straight World Series.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: We love our dog Fella who splays out in the
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: open sun on our floor like she's an underwear model,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: and that's why we love her so much. To scratch
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: her belly. She's a cutie.

• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Well, real quick about what he said about tatis Uh,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: He's still hitting the ball harder than everybody in the league. Okay,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: a KP. So he is not cooked yet. Okay, I
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: just want to make sure Twitter let me on fire
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: last week. I'm now just putting the flames out. But
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: just so you know that Tatis is he's hitting the
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: ball as hard as anybody. So this isn't going to continue.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: He just has a bad hitting coach, is what Twitter
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: told me to.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: M.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He also has zero homers and we're almost a June,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: just definitely, so he can hit the ball hard on
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the ground all he wants, but zero homers.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: He's got one. I think he hit one right, didn't
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: hit not yet?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: He still he still has AI as far as I know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: unless he hit one yesterday. I didn't see and they
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: got shut out, so I don't think he hit one yesterday.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Uh but here here's my question for you guys. What
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: do you guys think about besides Tatis? We know that story.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: We've we've banged on that drum too much. Now, how
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: important was this series to the Dodgers and Dave Roberts
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and he pitched Otani and he said, hey, this game
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: is a big game. I'm also going to have him hit,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and the atmosphere in San Diego is always rocking d
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: la chance, how much does this regular season series mean?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: And the Dodgers trying to make a statements to the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Padres that, hey, you guys are still our little brother.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I think a little bit. I think a little bit.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I think obviously the Dodgers are playing for something a
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: lot greater than trying to win the series against the Padres,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: But to go out there and send him a friendly
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: reminder that you know, we're still the Alphas and you're
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: still our little baby brother. You know, there's certain series
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: along the there's certain games and series you know, throughout
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the season where you're gonna see, you know, Dave Roberts
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: be a little bit more strategic with maybe giving some
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: guys a day off, you know, missing a e in
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: the rotation, with certain starting pitchers, giving Otawni a couple
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of days off. But to go out and kind of
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: just make a little bit of a statement against the
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Padres who have been playing pretty well, you know, I
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: think it's something that I think Dave Roberts seems to
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: think is a little bit important.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, test you know heat check in basketball, and
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: dudes are like, how hot am I? Oh, I'm just
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: gonna launch this three up. How good are we? Is
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: what I think Dave Roberts said here. Normally shohe has
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: not been playing either maybe the day before he wasn't hitting,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: the day of, or the day after he hit the
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: day he pitched. So clearly Dave and maybe even the
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: players not necessarily, they're not like, oh, panic, we got
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: to beat the Padres. They were half a game up
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: to start the series against us, Like, No, I don't
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: think it's that way. I don't think it's in that sense.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: I think it's a sense of we don't have many
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: like true tests during the season. We're going to beat teams.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: We're going to win because we have a great team,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: and great teams figure out how ways to win. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: I think show hayes emotion after the double play to
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Tatis where he's yelling off the mound, which which KP
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: had talked about, is huge, And I think just the
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: telling sign of how who they let play out there
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: wasn't like, you know what, We're gonna just kind of
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: have our you know this this series is just going
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: to kind of go this way, just like any other series.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: We get guys in Alice Call get a start and
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: all that stuff, like to have show Hey hit and
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: to see show Hayes energy. And it was a really
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: good series that maybe didn't involve as much offense as
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I thought it would, but you had some really good pitchers.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Michael King, Yamamoto, show Hey, Randy Vasquez has been doing well.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: But to me, you have the big names like that
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: in this series, everybody gets a little bit more amped up.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And then last thing on this series, Jackson Merrill leaves
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: the game back tweaked his back, kind of a kind
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of an interesting thing. How big of a blow is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that for the Padres. Also, he didn't speak to the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: media after the game, which I don't know how you
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: guys feel about that, but I feel like if you're
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a star and you think you're a star, that if
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: people think you're a star. Of the way people look
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: at Jackson Merrill as a star in this game, is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it your duty as a player to stand there and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: speak to the media and give an update or is
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: it up to someone else to do that on the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Padres No, I.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Think as a player it is your responsibility. I guess
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: the only two things that sort of trump that is
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: was he in the training room getting treatment or was
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: it severe enough where he had left to go get
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: maybe an MRI on his back. But if he just
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: decided to leave, you know, because he didn't want to
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: answer any questions, because maybe he doesn't even have the answers,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: but at least standing there and being accountable, respectful and
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: just saying like, hey, you know, I went hard against
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: the wall, you know, on the leadoff Homer, I came
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: back to the dugout. I was a little tight. I
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: tweaked it a little bit. You know, got a ton
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: of treatment. I may or may not need an MRI,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: whatever it might be. Just sit there and answer the questions.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't get what was so hard as
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: a player to you know, just sit there. And especially
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: with it's like a little kind of a tweak back thing,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: it can be difficult when you are the closure of
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: a game and you give up a game winning home
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: run to like sit at your locker and be respectful
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and give them time because obviously your your blood's boiling
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: on the inside and you're upset and you're disappointed. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: like to not be there and not be present for
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: something like that is I think not a good look,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: especially if you're trying to be or if you are
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: a superstar, but you're also trying to be you know,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: a face of the franchise. You're trying to be an
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: example for the younger kids coming up, like you need
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: to be there.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: I think maybe learned from the other guys in the
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: clubhouse and if they're if they're a conjoined unit, if
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: they're like they're together and they're like, hey, you know what,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: we're not always going to talk, we're not always going
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: to be the most team then where we always have
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: each other's back in that way, you know, maybe that
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: was the case. I hope it's not something severe like
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: he's getting an MRI or X ray or anything like
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: that that he missed it. But to me, missing him
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: in this lineup, okay, I think he's hitting like to
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: ten something like that. You think he's gonna hit better
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: than that. I think he's got like an ops of
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: like ops plus of like sixty eight or something. He's
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: going to go up. So that's a loss if he
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: misses time. But his defense you don't just find. You
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: don't find big league catchers just sitting around, you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: coming in and starting six out of seven games. You
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: don't find big league shortstops that can play shortstop six
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: six days a week. And you don't find true center
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: fielders that can play center field at the level that
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Jackson Merrill is and has been this year just lying around.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: You don't just say, okay, well you know what, Ramon Learano,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: you're gonna slide over. You know what, Tatish, you're a
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: platinum glove and right field I know we're playing it
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: second base all time. You're gonna slide in the center field.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: It is a hard position, and to lose that defense,
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I think it loses some of their superpower, which is defense,
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: athleticism and pitching.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Spreading rumors. This is a great one, guys. I can't
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: wait to talk about this. Sho Hao Tani. Ken Rosenthal
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: wrote a Tampa Bay Ray, the proposed twenty twenty three
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: deadline deal that would have shocked baseball. Do the way
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Rays always seem like they swing big guys and miss.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Remember they tried to sign Freddy Freeman. They've thrown some
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: big offers out there to guys for shorter terms. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: hasn't worked out, But can you imagine the difference if
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: sho Hao Tani became a Tampa Bay Ray?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, it would it would have probably changed the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: way a lot of maybe free agents view go into Tampa,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if they would have had an
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: opportunity to keep them there long term, you know, if
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: he would have got traded in twenty three and kind
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: of finished out his time there. But uh, you think
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: about two way players, and for some reason, Tampa just
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: seems like the place where two play two way players
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: would really play. I know they tried it with the
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: kit they drafted a couple of years ago, but you know,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not surprised that the Angels didn't trade them, just
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: knowing everything I know about the Angels and the way
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: that already operates. But you think about potentially what they
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: could have gotten back, and it's right here on the
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: screen what they could have gotten back for show Hey
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: for for a couple of months trading them away. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you know, if you if you're not gonna go into
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: that offseason and pretty much give show Hey a blank
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: check and say whatever you want, whatever terms you want
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: in order to bring them back, then you did that
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: organization a disservice by not trading away for the last
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: couple of months.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Because the Angels weren't going to the postseason and you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Potentially had an opportunity to get you know, a player
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: that you know really kind of changes the trajectory of
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: your your franchise. And they probably could have got more
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: than that. I think, you know, being there and being
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: around guys, I think it was even rumored to be
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: more from Tampa. And I know there were some other
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: offers from some other teams out there that would have
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: dramatically changed the depth of players that the Angels had
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: in their organization.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: Some wireless plans can get a little bit crazy, a
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: little bit off the charts expensive. Mint Mobile can get
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: you started with three months of premium wireless for fifteen
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: bucks a month.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Is it pretty good?
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I like that the way gas prices are going up, Scott,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We've got to keep more mobile plan down and mint
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Mobile is your location to keep your mobile plan down,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: can add family members. You can do all that for
• 17:41

• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously the anybody that is brought up
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: in a room or you sit there and you go,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: that would have looked nice to an angel's uniform. Of
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: course we could have used that, Like, but I love
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: that picture. If we can bring that picture back up,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: show hey, looks right at home in the Ray's uniform.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: I love that are behind the scenes staff made that
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: like he would have looked legit. But the reality is, yes,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: we all know the Rays would not have would not
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: have kept him. Yes, we know the Rays would not
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: have have forty home run threat this year with junior
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Cameronaro still in the lineup, but they were a playoff team.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Show hey, does he still blow out? People are like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter, he wouldn't have been pitching. Does he still
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: blow out? Maybe maybe I'm not saying he does, or
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: he doesn't. That's an argument or a discussion that I'll
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: have with God when I go to heaven one day.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Because there is a world where you build a baseball
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: team to make the playoffs, which the Rays have been
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: doing forever, and then you do things to push yourself
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: over the limit, you push yourself to win the World Series.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Because yes, the Rays have gone to the playoffs. They've
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: not perfected it, but they've done a really good job
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: of saying, you know what, we don't need to spend money.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: We're going to go to the playoffs. And if you're
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: able to have a guy like show Hey push you
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: across the line, there is no better pickup than and
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: you should push as hard all in as you can
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: for that type of player, because in the moment, they
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: had no idea he was going to blow out and
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: he needed his second Tommy John or whatever it was reconstruction.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Because during that time I had also heard Jackson Holliday,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: who was a number one pick, I mean, the number
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: one prospect in baseball, was being offered for sho Hao Tani. Now,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: obviously the Orioles, if they're the ones that balked at
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: it because they didn't want to give him up. But
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: if you remember the twenty twenty three what did the
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Orioles look like? They look like the team that Bob
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: had just mentioned that was going to be the next group.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Were they going to resign show? Hey? Probably not. That's
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: not the discussion here. The discussion is what does it
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: take to win game five in a five game series?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: It takes a player like Shoeo Tani. What does it
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: take to win game seven? Like any team that has
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: ever fallen short by a game in the regular season
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: or by a game in the postseason, you will always say, well,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: what if, what if we had this? You don't, But
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: as a front office you need to make the push
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: to make sure you get that guy, even if it
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: does mean Junior Camenero in my opinion.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned the Orioles. There's other rumors out there
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: about him possibly to the Yankees, possibly going to the Race,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: possibly going to the Orioles. I mean, look at these uniforms.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Which one does he look the best in?
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: Oh Man, I think I really think the Yankees. I
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: like the rings. I really love the race. The first
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: picture that we saw. I loved the Race. The Orioles
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: is good. Orange may not be his thing. The Yankees,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: and he would have gotten he would have gotten an
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: opportunity and where this is all hypothetical, but he would
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: have gotten opportunity to see the professionalism, to see how
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: the Yankees do it, and it would have been something that,
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: you know what, he would have helped that team. Even
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: if he's not pitching, if he's only dhing, if he's
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: only in and people say, wow, Gihn, Carlos Stanton's the
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: DH and he's stuck there, you have to as a
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: front office do all you can, because there's no doubt
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: in my mind, any team I've ever been on that
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: makes a playoff push, the players are pushing and giving
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: everything they have need to be willing to get rid
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: of whatever that prospect is. I'm sure in twenty twenty three,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I could look back and see the Yankees prospects. But
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: if it's Spencer Jones, do you get rid of him?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: If it was Ben Rice, do you get rid of
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: him yes? Because in twenty twenty three you didn't know
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: what you had. I don't think I think Jason Dimingez
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: was probably already up at that point, but he was
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: he was the Martian. You look at what guys have done.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: And you say, yeah, I would give that up. I
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: don't think there's one player I would give up if
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: it meant you win a World Series. I know that's
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: not guaranteed, but I have a hard time believing I
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: wouldn't trade any one player, even if you tell me
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: what he does. If you can guarantee me we win
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: a World Series, I'll trade that player.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if memory serves me correct. I believe it was
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: a combination of Jason Domingus, Anthony Volpi and Luis Hill
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: were rumored to be traded for show Hay in twenty
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: twenty three. They've had their ups and downs, but I
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: think those three guys going over to the Angels would
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: have dramatically changed the way that people viewed the Angels.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I mean those all three of those guys have had
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: moments in the big leagues. Obviously, Volpi's kind of had
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: up and down, Luis Hill has had up and down.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: The Martian hasn't really gotten going, but who's to say
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: he wouldn't have gotten going if he was getting every
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: day opportunities to play left field in Anaheim. But I
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: think what you said earlier too, Kratz, I think when
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: you are so close to making the push to get
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: into the postseason, or to win playoff games.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Or to win a World Series, Especially when you're.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: A team that has a legitimate chance to sign this
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: guy in free agency, like the Yankees probably would have.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: There is no better endorsement than getting a guy over
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: into your clubhouse, into your ecosystem, into your organization. There's
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: no better sell to a guy when you can go
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: over to New York and when you're a beloved figure
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: by that fan base, when you're in that clubhouse with
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: a guy like Aaron Judge and some of the other guys,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: when you see how first class that organization is, when
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: you see the way that they travel, when they see
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the way you know the chefs take care of the
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: players and the clubs take care of the players, that's
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: even more important to go all in when you do
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: feel like you are going to be targeting this guy
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: in free agency, even if you do have to give up.
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: You know a lot of these great players or these
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: players that end up being great big leaguers. But when
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you're a team like the Yankees, when you're a team
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: like the Dodgers, when you're a team like the Phillies,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and you have the ability to go out and spend.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: You go out and you get these guys into your organization.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: There's no better sell for a player than and being there,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: putting the uniform, mom being in that environment, and it
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: makes it even more tough when they go to free agency.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: Do they want to leave somewhere that you know, they've
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: been beloved and they love and they understand that it's
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: first class And you know, when you're a free agent,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: you go on all these trips to all these different
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: organizations get their cell There's no better sell than actually
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: being there.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Right well, show hey, we know didn't get traded because,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: as we've mentioned many times, the Angels don't make trades
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: like this because Artie Moreno wants to hold onto guys
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes for too long, like he held on to show hey.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: There's also the other trade that Joe Davis mentioned.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Ross strippling Jock Peterson and Andy Pajes who's turning into
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: a star himself, for Luis Renhifo, who now I believe
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: is a brewer, and a couple of minor leaguers. But
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Arti Moreno nixed it because he didn't want to wait longer,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: because it was because of the Dodgers or whatever, whatever
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the reason was. Does Arti Moreno have too much say
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: with the Angels and making decisions on this guys.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, he is the owner, but I would say so.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: But I think there has to be a little bit
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: less pride and who where you trade a guy, would
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: it have made the Dodgers potentially better or I don't know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, if you feel
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: like you were making your organization better because of the
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: players that you're getting, it shouldn't necessarily matter who you're
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: trading with.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I could understand.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: And like, if you're in the Alas, trading in within
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: division potentially because you got to compete against them and
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: you see him, But just because they're up the road
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: and you both you know, have Los Angeles in front
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: of your name, it's not a reason not the trade
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: with a certainty because you despise them or dislike him,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: and you guys are competing somewhat in the same market,
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: but you're not even in the same league. So if
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: it's going to go out and make your organization better,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: you got to go make that trade.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: Is he is Arty Moreno the Jerry Jones of baseball?
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: Is he too? Is he too involved in, in my opinion,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: the stories that we're getting because we haven't heard we
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: haven't heard it come out, or we haven't heard Arty
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Moreno say these things. We're only getting them from essentially
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: second and third hand stories. It seems like he feels
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: like there is decisions that need to be made, that
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: he hires people to make the decisions, but then he
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: goes ahead and makes those decisions or or goes over
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: top of over Trump's Trump's their decisions and says, you
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: know what, I'm sick of waiting. Like the Dodgers had
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: a basically the story that Joe Davis said was they
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: had to wait until the Mookie Bets trade, which is,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: if you remember, kind of a big deal that the
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Dodgers picked up Mookie Bets for essentially now Connor wong
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: to the Red Sox because the Red Sox didn't want
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: to pay Mookie Bets what he was worth to be
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: their franchise star. That's a Red Sox are a whole
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: nother story, John Henry. But and so he got he
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: got impatient, He got impatient and said, nah, we're not
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: going to do it. I just it just seems like
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: a little bit of measured decision making needs to be
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: happening at that level. And I've heard I've heard different stories.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I've heard people that he was going to hire to
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: be high up in his organization say Okay, I'll take
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: this job. I'll work for you, and very respected people
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: in those positions. But you have to be willing to
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: make these changes. And his exact answer was, I don't
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: think those things are important, So we're going to continue
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: to go in a different direction. And these are people
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: that start helped organizations change around their systems. I'm being
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: very vague because of who told me this, but change
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: their systems created a World Series winning team and with
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: those systems have created a winner for a decent amount
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: of time here, so it and he was willing to
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: go and help Artie, and Artie said, nah, I don't
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: think those things are worth it. Thank you for your time.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: We'll go a different direction.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that Joe Davis brought this up on the broadcast.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Did you guys see that the New York fans or
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: not the New York fans the New York Well, the
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: fans do and the radio guys are crush Joe Davis
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: when he made the comment of out the Mets. Oh no,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the Mets when they drop the pop ups over the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: weekend against the Yankees. And now Joe Davis is getting
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: annihilated because he's a homer for the Dodgers, even though
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: he's doing a national game. I mean, Jason Bennetti does
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: national games. He's a homer for the Tigers. I'm sorry, right,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Wayne Rendazo does national games. He's the Angels guy. Aaron
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Goldsmith does Fox games. Who else? I'm working with Brandon
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Gawdon in a couple weeks he does Braves games. Do
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: you guys think this is a thing? Because I've worked
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: with Joe Davis a lot. He does a lot of
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: things to try to not make him look like a homer.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Do you guys think this is a real thing, because
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I think it's usually with guys I work with, they
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: try to go the opposite way and make it less Now.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: I know he did the Dodgers' World Series parade last year,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and that's the thing they're mentioning. But he is the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: voice of the Dodgers. He does do one hundred and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: forty five games of him plus the postseason last year.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Do you think this is a thing or do you
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: guys just think this is New York fans being mad
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: and being a little upset because the Mets aren't playing Will.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: I think it's more of a New York thing.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: And I know exactly what you're referring to, because I
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: went back and watched the highlight of it and I
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: saw him drop it, and you know, this is we're
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: major leaguers, we're outfielders. Like you know, we talked about
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: it off camera, like there's no bad hops in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: sky right, like we're just seeing a lot of these
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: fly balls being dropped.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: And I know it's a young kid.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: And he's not typically a right fielder, and you know,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: things happened, but I felt like he just kind of
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: reacted in the moment because it is a little bit
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: shocking to see a routine play drop by a major
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: league outfield. But Joe's got a very difficult job to
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: do because he is the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: but he does national games and he was probably put
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: in a tough spot last year, you know, covering the
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: World Series which the Dodgers were in and trying to
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: be neutral. And if you go back and listen to
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of the calls, he made.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: He does a really good job of staying neutral, in
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: my opinion, And.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Obviously you have a lot more experience sitting next to
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: these guys calling these national games, and sometimes they do
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: call games that you know they work for. It has
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: to be a difficult thing to do.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Go back to our conversation with John Schneider in spring training.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: He even said it, he was like, oh, Joe Davis
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: was cheering for the Dodgers, So Joe Davis is going
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: to get a ring. Just go back to the conversation
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: we had. I love Joe Davis. I think his reactions
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: are perfect, they're natural. I love hearing his voice, his
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: cadence to take over for the guys that he's taken
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: over for, Vince Scully, Joe Buck. He's doing a really
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: freaking good job.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, let's not forget how hard that is.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: And it's interesting.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Did you feel like, let's ask Kping, he's a Bluejet fan,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: did you feel like you were listening to a Dodgers
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: announcer in the World Series or were you listening to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a guy that was just doing a game and excited
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: for whoever was winning.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, I think naturally, you're always going to
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: be a little bit biased, because I mean, we watch
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of baseball games, and when you hear his voice,
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: you think Dodgers. So when you turn on the Fox
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: broadcast for the World Series, like it feels like a
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Dodger game, But when you actually listen to him call
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: the game, I think he does a tremendous job of
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: staying neutral. And it's got to be an extremely hard
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: position to be in because, as you know, when you
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: are somewhat affiliated with the team, and he's more than somewhat,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: he is the voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers, you
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: become a fan of the guys. You become a fan
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: of the team, You become a fan of the organization.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: You are part of that organization. The players embrace you
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: when you are the announcer of the team, you know.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: But going back listening to do certain calls during the
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: World Series, I mean, just think about the home run
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: that Bobaschett hit off Otani in Game seven. You're telling
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: me that that sounded like a guy who was a
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: homer for the Dodgers in that moment. He was equally
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: as excited for that home run as he was for
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: the Miguel Rojas home run. He just has a knack
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: for playing to the moment of the game, no matter
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: what teams in that moment.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a little biased, but Joe Davis and Adam
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Amin are two of the best baseball announcers out there,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: So I love those guys. Obviously I have to work
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: with them, so I have to kiss up to him
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit so they'll still talk to me. And well,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna pass this along because I
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: work with Joe Davis on Saturday. Guess what team he's
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: broadcasting on Saturday.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, please tell me. It's the Dodgers.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Dodgers against Brewer. That's his favorite, the Brewers. Yeah, so
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: I'll ask, We'll come on Monday and ask. We'll ask
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: all the Brewers fan. Maybe we can get someone from
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the Brewers on and we can ask him how bias
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Joe Davis wasn't that way, Adam Wayne Right now, I
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: will try to be biased for the Brewers and try
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to even things out. But yes, we'll see how it
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: goes this weekend. Okay, should I let you handle this
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: since it's Miller time?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love a good Miller. Let's do it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, Ricky Romero. Every time I watch Bluebird Territory
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: has the Miller light had on? So I mean apparently
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you guys love Miller Light. Yeah, I mean they have
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: it on so often.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I don't even get a chance to wear mine.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Love.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I'm more of the I'm more of the Hawaiian button
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: down guy.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: When when when I wrap Miller Light on the show?
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Are you really?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Oh?
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: The phone finger? The kids love the phone finger.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: Kids love the phone finger. They don't even know what
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: it says, but they love the phone finger. They're like, eh,
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: number one, number one, foul tair tory number one.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: My kids used my kids still from watching White Sox games.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. They used to always have a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: commercial for Miller Line, and it'd be like, it's Miller Time.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: My kids never knew what it meant. They always just go, dad,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: is it Miller time? Time? Is the kids?
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Exactly? Is it an off day? All right, let's get
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to the six pack of Miller Lite. Questions? Where are
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: we starting right here?
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: KP, I'm assuming user for you? Yes? Are they for
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: all of us?
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Just for KP? Oh we can go collaborative.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll let you guys answer I'll ask the question.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I'll ask the questions to you.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, you guys, hear the blue Jay. He's the
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: blue Jay Homer. Okay, true, he can sing, he can
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: sing the song.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, all right, here we go. First question, is there
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: concern about the Blue Jays pitching depth without Jose Burrios
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: this season?
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I think they got a little clarity.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I think he was kind of a guy they were
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: potentially banking on maybe coming back. Obviously they made a
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: tough decision and letting Eric Lower go. But yeah, I
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: think it's definitely a concern. I think Bieber is really
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: the guy that they're kind of banking on coming back.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: But they do have a young kid, Spencer Miles, who
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: was a Rule five pick who's been kind of a
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: saving grace with him over his last three appearances. He's
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: kind of been the bull guy out of the bullpen,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: and he's he's looked really really good.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Nice. I like it. Okay. Clarity is always good for
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: any team, KP. Clarity is always good. The next question
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: is the bla Jay's chase rate the root of their
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: offensive skid and where the heck is Vladimir Guerrero's Junior's power.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: I think it has a big part in their offensive struggles. Obviously,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: you guys are both catchers. When you have guys consistently
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: swinging out of the zone, there's no reason to go
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: in the zone. And hitting's already difficult enough. When you're
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: swinging at strikes, when you're chasing the pitches all around
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: the zone, it makes it really difficult. I think the
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays were at their best last year when teams
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: just kind of referred to them as being tough outs.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: We all know we're going to fail in baseball. We're
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: going to make outs, but if you can make the
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: pitcher work, it has a long term effect. And Vladdie's just,
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: you know, been struggling. He's had this extended period of
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: struggle kind of dating back from their last road trip
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: starting in Minnesota. I think he had one extra base
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: hit on like a nine game road trip. He finally
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: hit a home run in Detroit the other day. Hitting
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: a lot of balls on the ground, on the grounds,
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: he's not really driving a lot of base I think
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Blue Jay fans were really looking for Vladdie to kind
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: of take that next step. What we saw and what
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: we referred to as playoff Laddie where he really kind
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: of put that team on his back. But I think
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: holistically it's a big problem that they're chasing out of
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: the zone. They're not having really competitive at bats so
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: much so it feels like it falls on Vlattie and
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: maybe a George Springer's plate to feel like they need
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: to go up and have heroic at bats when their
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: success was just kind of the some of their parts
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Before the show, we talked about this, and the behind
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: the scenes people put together a graphic for me that
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: is ridiculous and it's showing what I My question to
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: you is people say, and I know you were still
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: playing last year, KP, but people are saying, well, you
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: know this is the same team, this is how they
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: did it last year. Eh. Kind of this isn't really
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: how they did it last year. I mean, if you
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: look at the they're doing way less damage slugging than
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: they did last year. At this time. Their barrel percentages down,
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: they're hard hit percentages down. Their ex of a loss
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: is pretty close when it's down a little bit, but
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: they're making more contact, so that means the balls they're
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: putting in play are being hit weaker. And they're swinging
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: at more balls, so it means they're chasing more. So
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: while it looks like the same team, is this really
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: just was last year kind of an anomaly or obviously
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: any team can change it around, but it's not really
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: what they were doing last year. And I think maybe
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Jays fans are in denial of that because they remembered
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: Game seven of the World Series.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: No, I think what you're saying is fair. I think
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: the verdicts still out. I mean, I know we're a
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: fourth end of the season. We still got a long
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: way to go. But it's not a small sample size.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: It is a pretty bulky sample size of maybe this
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: is who they are. I do think they have an
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: opportunity to turn it around. And I'm not going to
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: sit here and play the violin because I tried that
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: a couple days ago on X and I got killed
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: for it. Because there was a lot of teams out
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: there that are going through a ton of injuries too.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: You think about the Atlanta Braves all the injuries they've
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: gone and it hasn't affected then. But the Blue Jays
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: have had a lot of injuries this year. Addison Barger
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: hasn't been in the lineup. Alejandro Kirk, probably their most
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: important player, is missed majority of the season.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: You know Nathan Lucas, who was.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: A huge surprise to a lot of people last year,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: and he just brings a level of kind of professionalism
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: in his bats. And I know Bo Bashett isn't necessarily
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: getting off hasn't gotten off to the best start to
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: his Mets career.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: But the one thing.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: That Bo does, and even when you watch him when
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: he's struggling, and he brings a level of professional into
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: his at bats.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: He's very disciplined.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: He stays in the strike zone, he takes a ton
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: of pitches, and I think they're just really missing that.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: And I think I think for everything that the Blue Jays.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Did last year in terms of you know, they they
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: got labeled this team that put the ball in play
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: a ton, right, They didn't strike out lot and that
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: was kind of their mo in the postseason. They did
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: slug too, But I think when you get back into
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: the strike zone a little bit more, and when you're
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: consistently out of the strike zone and you're putting the
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: ball in play, the percentages of you hitting it hard
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: are not very high. So they're having a lot of
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: weak contact. I think if they can reduce that chase rate,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: get into the strike zone a little bit more, I
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: think you'll start to see the slug go up a
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: little bit more as well.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Let's run through these last few. We have four more questions.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Let's try to get to them quickly. Okay, before making
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: moniac joins us. One word to describe Kevin Gossam consistent.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: Crat So I was easy. That was easy, Yeah, workse Okay,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: How do you guys prefer to spend to rain delay?
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Treya Savage that he just sat in there and drank
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: Red Bull and watched the guys play cards. What'd you
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: guys like to do during rain delays? I like to
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: just eat. That's why I hated them, because I just
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: got fatter.
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean when you're not an everyday player and
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: you're not in the lineup. It was definitely eight. When
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: I was in the lineup, it was like anxiety. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: just like kind of pace around. I'd pop my head
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: in the cage the weight room. I had hard time
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: just kind of sitting around when.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I wasn't playing.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: It was tremendous. I was relaxed, maybe even in like
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: a second big league shower who knows. When I was playing,
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: I would keep my headphones on and I would just
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: I would spend that entire time like the game was
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: gonna start in thirty minutes. I couldn't check out isn't
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: the right word. But I couldn't like not be focused
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: and then oh, game thirty five minutes and then just
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: turn it right on. I couldn't do that.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: All right, quick, we're gonna get a bonus question here.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Better for rain delay before the game starts or in
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: the middle. Harder to concentrate, I think before the game,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: because you especially if you've gone through BP and everything
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: and then you're kind of on schedule, your in routine
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: and then you walk out to the dugout and the
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: tarps on, that's really hard.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I think. You know, in the middle of the game,
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: you could.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: Kind of see it coming, you could see the clouds change,
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: maybe you know there's potentially rain.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I find that to be a little bit easier.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree. We got a window. We got
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: a window.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: More optimism for sure, more optimism in the middle of
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you could, if you could bottle up
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: the energy. Always yelled at guys, you could bottle up
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the energy when they get find out they're rained out,
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: and then you take as positive as everybody is, and
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: then as negative they are when they have to play
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: that split doubleheader at one and seven, how miserable they are, Like, remember, guys,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: this energy, how happy you are we got rained out.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Now take it to that doubleheader six weeks from now
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: when you have two games, just.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Remember or when the rain out sounds great and then
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: you find out it's scheduled later in the year on
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: an off day and you got to go back to
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: the city. That that's a very bitter group, all right,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: last one the KP This was really for you. I
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: guess crowds is a Blue Jay legend too. Is the
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: Al East out of reach for the Toronto Blue Jay
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: is currently eleven in a game, eleven and a half
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: games out right now?
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: I think so? I think. I think.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: I think the staving grace for the Blue Jays at
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: this point of the season is that the American League,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: if you take away the Yankees and what the Rays
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: have done is and the Guardians. You can't discredit the
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Guardians too, but I think that wild card is a spot.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: That they should be targeting.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think eleven games at this point, I don't think.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: I don't think they have the firepower right now to
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: overcome that. I think they should focus on staying relevant,
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: staying around that five hundred, get guys healthy, and then
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: make a push.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: No chance. Players don't really care. They're going to try
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: to win every game. I get that part, but no,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Al East two good teams up top, too tough to
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: get to. Can still be a playoff team because American
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: League sucks, but al least out of reach.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they ain't catching the White Sox. Good answer. Oh wait,
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: they're in a different division. Sorry, sorry, why not go
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: grab some Miller like today? Guys, if you like beer,
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: try and Miller lite because game time is Miller time
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: must be legal drinking age. Celebrate responsibly, all right, slaphands,
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: there it is. I was there for this. By the way,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Pope Leo finally received his autograph paulk in Erco Jersey.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: I was there when they made this for him and
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Paul signed it, and I just can't believe it took
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: almost a year for it to get to him. So
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: we have the Pope on our side. That's why the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: White Sox are having a better year this year than
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: they had the last few years. And also, I'm just
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: gonna say this, I'm throwing it out there. There is
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: a chance, and it's a good chance, and I will
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: get to meet the Pope and when I do, I
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: will not rub it in your face, as I promise.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: Where is this gonna happen.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna happen at this place called the Vatican. Kevin,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: are you going?
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't know if he was coming to Chicago.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: He's flying to Florida. He's flying in Florida just to
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: see me. He's flying to Florida just to hang out.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: He just wants to talk to me. He might need
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: to pray. He might need to pray for Orlando, if
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: for them to get a team, because they got a
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: bunch of dreamers there. But shouldn't have been a Canerica
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: Jersey like when he was fourteen.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: That's why he was four Because you know what, I'm
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: gonna take one to him for that. I'm gonna you
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna hand you know what else I
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: want to do. And I've said this and I'm gonna
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: do this. He was at Game one of the World
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Series in two thousand and five, I have the last
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: out ball. It's hanging in my wall. I mean, it's
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: just sitting there. I'm gonna take it to him and
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: give it to him. It's better protected in the Vatican
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: than it is in my in the in the room
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: that Scott comes into every day and sneezes all over it.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Is there any chance, I know, I know the Pope's
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: kind of job description is to be a loving person.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: But is there any chance that he hates the Cubs
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: as much as you do?
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, if you're a White Sox fan you don't like
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: the Cubs, you can't. You can't do both. You can't
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: do you live in Texas, now you can. You can't
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: be an A and M and a Longhorn fan, right,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You just.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Can't talk to him.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: When you talk to him, do you think there's a
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: greater chance that you talk to him about the White
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: Sox or your hatred of the White Sox?
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I mean the Cubs? The Cubs, the hatred of the
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Cubs could and by the way, he also went to
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Villanova Crats, so there is a Philly connection, So that
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be that far fetched. That was a Villanova. And
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: by the way, we'll definitely talk White Sox. We'll definitely
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: talk about him knowing my name, which he doesn't know
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Kevin Blar is. He doesn't know Aircrats is, but he
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: knows who aj Prazinski is. And that's a big deal.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: I mean in my world, my mom, I mean I
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: was raised Catholic. My mom still is heavy Catholic, goes
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: to church twice a week, works at the church every weekend.
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: I mean she is. She prayed so many rosaries for
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: me over my career. I mean she wore out every
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: time I go to somewhere, you know, Notre Dame or
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the Vatican. I always buy her a new rosary because
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: she makes She's had to pray for me so much.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: The beads are worn out. So uh, it's it's it
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: would be awesome if it happens, and I'm counting on it.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: So you know, there's people out there that know who
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: they are. There's a lot of pressure on them.
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: For the podcast Crowd, we had shown two pictures. One
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: was Aji the Pope holding up Perzienski jerer. The other
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: one was the Pope holding my jersey. We don't know
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: if the Perzinsky one is fake, but we know the
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: one with my jersey's fake because if they were whole,
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: if he had one of my jerseys, it would have
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: been a shersey. There's certain players that are jersey people
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: like they sell Prazinski Pollard Blue Jay jerseys. I was like,
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: I was like, top seven jersey sales. Okay, so there's
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of jerseys out there of mine, did you guys?
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, yea, there it is. Yeah.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: I forgot to tell you guys that that that happened
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: last week.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: That's why I was busy. I couldn't come on.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: I was the pope bless Yes, yes, I love it.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: I love it. By the way, have you did you
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: guys ever switch numbers in the middle of a season
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: before we get out of here?
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: No, the one time I never liked on the same team,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: on the same team, on.
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: The same team. So when I went to the Red
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Sox of the Cardinals, they didn't asked me, which I
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: thought this was odd. They never asked me for a number.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: They just gave me thirty five, and I was like,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: I'm thirty five, okay, Frank Thomas whatever. Cool. Well, then
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I said, hey, I found out twelve was open. I said, hey,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: can I switch to twelve, and they're like, we don't know.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: We got to check with major League Baseball. You're gonna
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: have to buy all the jerseys that they made for you.
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm in Saint Louis. I've been here
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: for about three weeks. You think that a lot of
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: people are buying Prazinski jerseys in Saint Louis for those
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: three weeks? And I don't think so. And then they
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: called major League Baseball. They're like, yeah, you're good. There's
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: like one jersey out there that's your family in Saint Louis,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: so I think you can afford to cover it. So
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that though, if you switch numbers, you
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: have to buy all the old jerseys, and said that
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: they try to discourage you from switching numbers.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: That's weird.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: Learn something new every day.
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: It was weird.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: All the teams, all the teams I changed, not once,
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: and they asked me. They were like, they're not going
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: to be here very long. Wow, I never want that.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: They never asked you, They never asked you a jersey number.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: Team USA was the only only team that ever asked. Ironically,
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: I started with the Pirates is thirty eight. I ended
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: with the Yankees as thirty eight. But I had two
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: stints with the Yankees, and I was thirty six the
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: one time and thirty eight the other time. So but
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: ironically I got thirty eight both times.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Hey, but the great thing about thirty six and thirty
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: eight is if you just kind of squinch your eyes
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: a little bit, it looks like thirty eight.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: It does, it does. You're right, you're right.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: You don't have names. Yank, you don't have names. Crass,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: what's your hat? Real quick.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Dragons, absolute absolute domination of the padres.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: No.
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: Actually it was just the one that was sitting on
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: my table today, so I had no actually actually didn't.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: It didn't mesh with my WBC hat. My shirt didn't
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: match the WBC hat.
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: That I had on.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna have to wear that one again. And
