  Speaker 1: A lot to catch up on happy tuesday people it's
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: ft braun pierzinski kratz hey did you guys see we
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: had a perfect game over the weekend a perfecto in the.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Money leagues so it's pretty awesome i mean yeah it
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: never happens it's the first one in forever right since
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: 17 it's almost 10 years in between them it's crazy
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: it shows you how hard it is to do at
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: any level i don't care if you know Little League,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: high school, college. I mean, they get progressively tougher, but
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, to throw on a triple A is pretty awesome.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: First single pitcher, nine inning perfecto in the minor leagues
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: since 2017. So maybe there's been the shortened version. Maybe
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: there's been a little combined perfecto, which none of us
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: are huge fans of. Agreed. Nothing in the same category there. Good.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: So 32-year-old Thomas Pannone. for Nashville against Durham. 93 pitches
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and crats. J.J. Cooper tweeted that the first three-ball count
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for him since the second inning was in the ninth inning.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Last batter, it's a 3-0 count. He pulled it off.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh. That's impressive. And Durham's a great place
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to hit, too. Usually they have a good lineup. I
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: think it's awesome.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: A lot of people kind of hate on it because
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of whatever, and.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It's like, dude, it's so tough to do And he
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: did it under 100 pitches, too.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Very impressive. And congrats to him, 32-year-old. Hope he lands
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: himself back up in the show. Nonetheless, awesome accomplishment.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: There was one story that I think dominated the headlines
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for days, really. And it's still going. Let's hit it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: That's what she said.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said, presented by Lorraine Co. Let's
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: get into Doug Eddings' field and how he did not
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: like the way that the hat was tilted. And then
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: suddenly the hats are getting tilted all across Major League Baseball. So, AJ,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: where do we begin? There's actually a lot to unpack here.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: People want to know if he should be suspended. People
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: want to know why he accused someone else. Some thought
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman, but others thought maybe other Rockies hitters of saying, hey,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not cool with a reliever making his debut with
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a tilted hat that turned out to be fiction. Where
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: would you like to begin here with Doug Eddings trying
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to take over the game a little bit too much?
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: First of all, I have, I love Doug Eddings. He's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: my favorite umpire of all time. Um, so I can't
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: bad mouth Doug Eddings. Um, he, uh, it's interesting because
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Fernando Rodney and there's been a lot of guys, Pedro
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Stroop have worn their hat sideways and, It was always
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: kind of a thing. Now guys have gotten more and more.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Sonny Gray does it a little bit. Left-handed pitchers. There's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: been some lefties that have kind of worn it a
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: little sideways. I don't know. You can't wear it backwards.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: It has to be front-facing, so there's no rule against it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Whether someone said something or not, I don't know. It's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: just kind of funny that an umpire is now telling
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: people how to wear their hat and how to wear
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: their uniform. I thought we kind of got past this
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: once we got rid of the 51% black. Your shoes
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: had to be. Now you can wear any color shoes,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: any color batting gloves, any color anything you kind of want, belts.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. It's kind of funny that it
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: turned into such a big deal. I guess it didn't help.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I think he went out and didn't pitch very well either.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: If he would have gone out and gone three up,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: three down, it wouldn't have been a story, but he
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: didn't pitch very well. So was it his major league
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: debut or was it the fact that he was told
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to straighten out his hat? I don't know.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: I hope it wasn't the fact that he was told
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to straighten out his hat because then it would be like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: something little like that, but everybody's nervous in their big
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: league debut. And for an umpire to, I don't want
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to say ruin it, but to kind of take it
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: over in that sense, to kind of try to impose
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: his will on the situation. I just, I, that is
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: when players say, okay, this guy's a good umpire. This
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: guy's a bad umpire. It's rarely about strikes and balls
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: and strikes and how they're called. Like, you know, who's
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the worst in that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: It's just the interaction with guys.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And unfortunately, this is kind of, not kind of, it
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: has really taken a life of its own. And it's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, what is in the umpire's discretion? Okay, well,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: why would you need to tell him to change the
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: way his hat is? I hear it on Twitter all
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the time. Why do I need to turn my hat around?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Because I look like Limp Bizkit? Like, I get it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: There's people who think it's disrespectful or whatever, but Maybe
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: a second outing, not his first outing, or maybe when
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: he walks off the field, say something if you really
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: think it's that important.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I like the way you put it. I mean, you're
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: robbing the debut. You only get one of those for
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Hansel Rincon. And Eddings did apologize, although with Ken Rosenthal's story,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it sounded like the league spoke to him. Then he
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: went out to apologize to the youngster a day later.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: But what I thought was cool was that instantly everyone
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: had his back. from manager to players around Major League Baseball.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: So let's start with Ali Marmal, who was booted from
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: this game shortly afterwards.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Obviously, the fireworks in the sixth inning.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: What was up with you and Doug Eddings?
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, some words exchanged there. Quite honestly, I thought it
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: was pretty embarrassing on his end. We have a kid
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: making his debut, and in between a net bat, he
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: tells them that he needs to fix his hat, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the kid's not going to wear his hat like that
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: on my field. So last I checked, this was Coors Field.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: So I took issues with it. And then the pitch
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: violation while I'm out there having a discussion, that's also
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: stupid in my opinion. So there's a lot of moving
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: parts to that one. At the end of the day,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I thought they handled it poorly, and I'd like.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: An explanation at some point. Fair. Everything you said is fair.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Mic drop. That was a great answer from Ali. He
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: nailed it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, the fact that he got a pitch clock
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: violation is also hilarious because he's out there arguing with
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the umpire. Like, come on. That's like the old video of,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: what is it, the Cubs and the Cardinals? where the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: manager's arguing and the pitcher throws the pitch and the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: umpire calls a strike three while the manager's umpiring. I
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: think the hitter even tried to swing at it. It
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: was a crazy scene. Google it, kids, if you haven't
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: seen it. But, I mean, Ali nailed the answer. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: actually texted Ali a little bit. I'm like, hey, you
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: stop yelling at my buddy, Doug Eddings, and he was laughing.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You know, his response was like, that was– one of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the worst things I've ever seen. And to be honest
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: with you, I've never seen anything like this. I've seen
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: managers say stuff to players when they first come up
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: about stuff that they are doing or, you know, their hair,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: their facial hair or their hat or whatever it is.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But I've never seen an umpire get involved in that
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: because usually they stay in their lane. So it was
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: just a weird thing. It was funny, but it gave
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: us something to talk about. I don't know that it'll
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: be a thing forever, but for the rest of this year,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: for the Cardinals, it'll be something they can rally around.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not totally in this camp that umpires, all umpires,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: have vendettas against guys, but there's emotion because they're humans.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And this shows the emotion or dislike of how Rincon
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: was wearing his hat by Doug Eddings. Doug Eddings then
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: still had his emotion going and gave Oli Marmal... the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: pitch clock violation while he was arguing. Like you could
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: tell there was emotions that were spilling over. And this
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: is the part where the robo umpire crowd says, see,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: we just need robo umpires. We don't even need somebody
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: back there. Just like, let's calm that down. We just
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: need to know there are emotions and umpires need to
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: be held in check too and held accountable for what
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: they do.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Dehydration is real, people. So are quince electrolyte stick packs.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you don't need some big bottle
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to carry around. Just these little packets if you suddenly
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: feel like you need a little hydration. Raspberry salt, delicious.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Citrus salt, my personal favorite. And watermelon salt for those
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: watermelon lovers out there. Very solid. Just in your water bottle.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: I'm a watermelon guy. It's quick, easy in the morning.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Wake up, feeling a little down. Throw some in there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: feeling great. Throw some in there because it'll keep that
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: high going. So stay on it. It hydrates you because
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of that fermented rice, great tasting, and it makes you
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: feel better.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: They're made in the USA, rigorously third-party tested. Give your
• 8:36

• 8:58
  Speaker 1: players the next day had tilted caps, many of them
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: in the dugout. They turned it into a celebration for
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: the team too. FT did a nice job covering this
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: on the socials. So if you don't follow FT, by
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the way, do that. Here's the Selly little tip. That's smooth.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I like that. AJ, teams are always looking for an
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: organic celebration on the base paths. Well, it's late in
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the season, but they found one.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Agreed. That's what I said. For the rest of the year,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals are the, what, 18 or 19 games they
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: have remaining around there. I mean, they'll have something to
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: rally behind. Yeah, you're always looking for something to do.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: That starts with something simple. This wasn't simple. But now
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals have something. Doug Eddings, his name is in
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the news again. I don't know. It's kind of funny.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: It's awesome that all the players are doing this. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: don't know if they're doing it, but it's uncomfortable to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: wear your hat like that for Some people. So, I mean,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you have to get a looser hat, right, Crouch? You
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: can't just wear your normal hat because normally your hat's
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: kind of tight. So you have to get a bigger hat.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: It's tough.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Like you're going to have to really, I mean, to
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: put this, like, you just got to pull it down
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: hard if you're going to wear it to the side.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, so many people have worn their hats to
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: the side. I would say 80% of left-handers wear their
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: hats to the side. Like, they don't know it. Like,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you talk to a lefty, and they'll be like, hey,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: put your hat on straight, and they're like, Is.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It straight now?
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: It's like something wrong with them. They can't tell when
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: it's straight. They're like, figure it out.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm a lefty. You guys created everything for righty, so
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: we're just messed up in life.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: John Lester used to wear his hat crooked. Nobody complained
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: about him. He used to wear his hat a little
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: bit crooked. Nobody said anything about him.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Abe Alvarez, back in the day, I think he had
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: some lost vision in his one eye, and his hat
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: would By the end of the game, his hat was
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: like down over his eye.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: He made his debut with the Red Sox way back
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: in the day.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Should there be punishment for Doug?
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know. They're getting into a slippery slope here.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Punishment and all. I don't know. I mean, do we
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: know that– did one of the Rockies say something? Do
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: we know that? I mean, I know they've all denied it,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: but do we.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Know– They deny it hard.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Doug says they did.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: So then why would Doug Eddings make that up? That
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: seems like something very strange. Does it not seem like
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: something strange to make up, Kratz? Like, I feel like
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: that's something strange. I felt like he was kind of
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: in a spot. And without anybody coming out, we have
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: to believe that maybe he lied and said somebody told him.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Because Hunter Goodman flat denied it. He was the one
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: that was like, it wasn't just like, no, I didn't.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Hunter Goodman said, uh-uh, I didn't ask anybody to change
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: anybody's hat direction.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Adamantly. Do you know why? He was getting a lot
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: of flack online. People are like, how dare you? Because
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: this really picked up quickly on social media.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: But you have to know if you're Doug Eddings and
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: you come out and you say something like this, that
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: it's going to get back to the Rockies guys. So
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: if you make up that lie, then you know that
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: they're going to have to get questions about it. That's
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: why it seems like a strange thing to lie about
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: instead of just saying, I didn't like the way it looked.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: I wanted him to fix it. There is a– There
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: is a uniform guide in every clubhouse. I mean, it's
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: loosely loose guide, but there is a uniform guide. So
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: he could have just said, oh, the uniform guide says
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: you have to wear your hat a certain way. But
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to say the Rockies guys and name a player specifically
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: seems a little odd to me.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Also, I mean, there's a lot of other things to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: worry about in a game. If you feel like you've
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: got so much time that you can worry about the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: way someone's hat is and it's not a distraction, right?
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: We know there's certain things occasionally that someone's wearing or
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: doing that can actually be distracting to the hitter and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: it's warranted. We see that usually a couple of times
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: a year. Right. But it's not like, you know, the
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: person had a laser pointer on or something.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Remember when Arthur Rhodes had the earrings too big and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Omar Vizquel complained his earrings were too big. You guys
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: remember that one? That was a funny one. I do
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: remember that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Too much.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Too much. His earrings were distracting him. They were too large.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of funny.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I can never say a hat has ever distracted me
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: while I was hitting.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I can never say.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the point. I mean, players were pissed about it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They're like, dude, it's not like you're the best at
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: calling balls and strikes in the world here. Just focus
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: on your job. So it's an easy way to unite
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: players really across Major League Baseball.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: He used to be the best at throwing the ball
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: back to the pitcher hard. He used to throw the
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: ball back to the pitcher so hard.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He's got a good snap throw, Doug Eddings?
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: He used to. I don't know if he still does,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: but he used to fire it back at the pitchers.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Doug Eddings, Wolfie.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Wolfie would throw knuckleballs back to the pitcher. I'm trying
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: to think there was one other.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: That's all right. You'll come up with it. We've got
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: to jump, but if anyone has thoughts, and I'm sure
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you do, that differ with us or... are similar to
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: what we're thinking, let us know. Otherwise, also make sure
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you lock in. This is what you should be paying
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: attention to then. Lorraine Co. remineralizing pouches are nicotine-free. They're

• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Jesus Lizardo's pitching. One hour, 51 minutes for his first
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: career complete game and shutout. He's been actually one of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the more underrated pitchers this season. Yes, I know he's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: on the Phillies and I know he's been around for
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: a minute, but people weren't talking about him as one
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: of the best in the game. Stuff-wise right now, he
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: looks like that. What are people saying in Philly, Kratz?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, that Dombrowski gave an extension at the right
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: time because this guy would have been... getting absolutely paid
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: and even during a time when wheeler and christopher sanchez
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: haven't been perfect lizardo's really taken over that helm and
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: was perfect and needed to be perfect because grant holmes
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: on the other side was doing his thing against the
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: phillies lineup that's like hey you need to do some
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: damage against grant holmes guy's nasty man you guys figured
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: something out since he's gone to phillies that's i mean
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: that's that's it he He's gotten better. He was good,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and then he's just taken the next step, right, once
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: he's got to Philadelphia, especially this year.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: His stuff, his strikes, everything is up. He is fun
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: to watch. Anytime he takes them out, he is fun
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: to watch. It was a big game for the Phillies.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: It kind of kept them alive in the divisional race.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: If they would have lost that game, they wouldn't have
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: split the series with the Braves. So 1-0 win, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: what was it, like an out? What was the time? 159?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: What was the time?
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: 151.
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: 151.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, anytime you get under a two-hour game, Jesus,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I need you to pitch next time I do a
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Phillies game, please. Oh, getaway day.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Everybody was ready. Getaway day. Try to get on the plane.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And they let him eat 109 pitches. Shouldn't be anything
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: crazy this time of year. Two hits, 12 Ks. Lizardo, ballin'.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: All right, let's look at the week. SeatGeek helping us
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: out and picking out some seats for us. I mean,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: to me, there's two dudes coming back from injuries tonight
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that are massive names. So if you happen to be
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in those portions of the country, you would like to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: see Aaron Judge and A.J. Corbin Burns finally is back
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: for the Diamondbacks, and he'll have to work his way up.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, those are the two, right, that stand out.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Without really digging into the schedule, I mean, you want
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to see Aaron Judge return? Yes. You want to see
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Corbin Burns return? Absolutely. We're also getting deep into the
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: playoff stretch right now, where teams, every game kind of matters,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and I know you might say, oh, this matchup or
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: this matchup, but I mean, the White Sox have a
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: chance to really– I mean, not that the Pirates are
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: in it, but they could really crush them. Guardians, Orioles
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: for that last wild card spot, even after the Orioles
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: have got smashed by the Red Sox this past weekend.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot of good Astros-Phillies. That's a good
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: one just because the Astros are trying to hang on
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: to the West. So, I mean, there's a lot. Rays-Braves
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: is another great series this week. There's a ton of
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: great matchups this week that have playoff implications all over them.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: The one I'm going to is definitely the Orioles– Orioles,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: while I'm not saying they're going to get back into it,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: they have a chance to now kind of be the spoiler,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: be the team that could beat the Guardians and allow
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: another team to get in. I think three games at
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: this point, the way they're playing, I'm not saying it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: pointless to make the postseason, but it just seems like
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: they're not going to do it, and I think they
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: can play a role that could do some damage to
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: the Guardians' season just in this series.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they won the first one. in that set and
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: more to go for Baltimore after losing six in a
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: row and scoring 13 runs during that span. They got
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: back on the board. Twins are done too. You know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: we saw them kind of fall apart again over the weekend.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: It really, in the second half, it's been the last
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: couple of years, right? I mean, AJ, the White Sox.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Did what they had to do. They don't add reinforcements.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: They don't add reinforcements.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Well, they claim they did. They tried. They tried very
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: lightly this straight deadline to add a little bit to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: their bullpen. Their bullpen was really bad. It got a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: little better But overall, there's just not enough there. Buxton's hurt.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Organizational depth isn't there. So at least the owner can
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: say that he tried this year and they didn't sell
• 18:31

• 18:56
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: He was the ultimate heel in Philadelphia. A curtain call
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: for himself. Philly fans called for it via booze. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Acuna had a big series. It ends up being a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: series split, Kratz, so we didn't really do much in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the standings. But what was the temperament of Philly fans
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: for Ronald Acuna Jr. stepping foot in there and acting
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like he owned the place?
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, not acting like he did own the place
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: for the first three games. They've had an issue, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: I think some of it's been riled up by, you know, L.A.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: on the radio, Kruk on TV, like some of the
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: older guys that don't appreciate the trot around the bases,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: the gimmicks at each base, the arms flapping.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Every team does it.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: This goes way back to like at a boy Harper
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: with the Orlando RCA stuff. Like there is a rivalry
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: that is not just renewed, but back in it because
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the Phillies aren't that far aren't, aren't as ahead as
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: they were last year. The Braves and the Phillies are
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: probably the, you know, top four best teams in the
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: National League. And so it gets a little extra heated
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: in September. Phillies fans want to win. They didn't win early.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: They squeaked the last one out.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: So you know what? Ronald Acuna Jr.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Is now enemy number one, except I still don't think
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: he's the best, most potent player on that team. Although
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: this series, he stepped up and came up big time
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: for the Braves.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Who's the most potent?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I think Matt Olsen's having– he's going to be the MVP,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: and I think he has the ability to do so
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: much damage.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I get it. Acuna can run. He can do– you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: he's that.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Wild horse out there. But I think Olsen is– should
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: be their most feared threat in the lineup right now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: I can't argue that. I can't argue that. But it's fun.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: It's fun. We want them to have fun, right? Acuna's
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: having fun. He's playing to the Philly fans. The Philly
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: fans eat it up. It's fun. You want to be,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you want to be the heel. You want to be
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: the bad guy. If that gets you going, Ronald, then
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: do it. And he did it perfectly. I think this
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: was awesome. It's awesome with the game. We always, we
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: always want this, right? We always ask for this. We
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: want fans and people to players to be more open
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: and more honest. Well, here he was, he was showing it.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And I don't think the emotion, right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: AJ, I mean, you obviously can speak to anything bad. That's,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: that's my question to you is like, I don't think
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: he did anything wrong and he wasn't trying to show
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: up the, Philly dugout either it's not like he's pointing
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and screaming at the Philly dugout he's just he's kind
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of playing to the fans PCA has kind of done
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: this now in some spots especially in LA with his
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: words right becoming a heel out there in terms of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: calling out the fans so my question let's let's run
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the sound from Zach Wheeler and then I'll throw it
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: back to you because my question is wouldn't Bryce Harper
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: do potentially the same thing if fans were giving it
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to him and he had a big three run home
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: run to get his team back in it here's Wheeler
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: first on And obviously there were multiple homers here from
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Acuna over the weekend, but the Phillies not loving the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: way he was celebrating.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: We've seen him do his home run trap before, but
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: how much did that bother you tonight? And did that
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: motivate you moving forward in the rest of your outing?
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Um, I mean, it doesn't really bother me all that much, uh,
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: do whatever he wants in a home run. So, um,
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's up to him to do what he wants.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Our guy just rounds the bases. It's 50 years.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: So, um, but do whatever he wants you're able to
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: so that was saturday 4-2 win for the phillies wheeler
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: didn't even give up a hit after the acuna home
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: run he allowed so aj he can do whatever he
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: wants blah blah blah but our guy hits 50 and
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't do any of that i'm like okay so then
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: you didn't love it and that's fine but i don't
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: think he did anything wrong no and in.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Zach wheeler we love zach wheeler i love zach wheeler
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: i think he's awesome but if he would have pitched
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: bad after that, then his answer would have been different,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: but he pitched really well. So of course he's going
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: to say it didn't bother him. You know, it may
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: be motivated him a little bit in, in the thing
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: about his guy hits 50 and runs. I mean, you know,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Bryce Harper does the thing to the, to the bullpen.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: He's the one that started that, right. When he runs
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: around the bases every time.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, Bryce Harper, he has guys on his team
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: that do stuff. So you can't really say that. And
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber is just different. He hits 50 and he
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: runs around the bases. Cool. I mean, there's guys in
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: their career that hit 50 and ran around the bases.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: There's guys that hit 10 and, and flip their bat.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, one of the all-time Phillies, Oduble Herrera, had
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: more antics than anyone of all time, right? But it
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: is what it is. I mean, guys do their own thing.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: They always have their own skits, and that's fine. That's
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the way the game has gone. It shouldn't bother you
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: because everyone has their own skits. The world is traveling.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Strikes a guy out to end the game, he just
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: stands there and stares at home plate, right? And then
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: there's guys who do fist pumps and all kinds of stuff.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: So every guy has their own skit. It's all about
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the way you handle it. In today's game, you can't
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: really get mad at anybody because nobody's allowed to, and
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: that's the way it's played, and that's the way we
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: want it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it definitely made Wheeler mad. Or I should say,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: it's noticed because of the last part of his comment.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: The fact that he's like, you know, our guy does it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: But everybody has their own way of doing things. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: people say, well, it's ruining the game. How is it
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: ruining the game? It's not right or wrong. However you
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: do it, it's not right or wrong. Like, you probably
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: shouldn't celebrate if you're down 7-1 and hitting a home
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: run that, you know, you're now losing 7-2.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: But you know what?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: It's really tough to hit a home run in the
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: big leagues. So if you want to celebrate it a
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: certain way, make it be genuine. That's my biggest thing.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: And people are like, oh, ruin it for the kids.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Believe me, I coach kids. I got dudes that have
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: never hit one home run that are practicing home run
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: celebrations before the season starts. I'm like, We don't even
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: hit homers on these small fields. How are we practicing
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: this stuff? But it's part of the game that if
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: people want it to stop, then you know exactly what
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: you need to do as a pitcher to make it stop.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: And I think it's not right or wrong. It's what
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: it is, and it's going to make people feel a
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: type of way.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: And hey, for Braves fans, biggest thing you should be
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: excited about, Ronald Acuna Jr. looking like that, where he
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: can take over a series. What?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: That's agreed, 100%. The fact that he did what he
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: did and was back to having fun and being Ronald
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Acuna that we had seen in the past, that was
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: a big deal if you're the Braves going forward. You
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: need him to finish strong and then go into the
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: postseason if you're going to make a deep run hot.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like scouting report lately was four seamers. He was
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: brutal against them for a little stretch, and then now
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: he's smoking them. So you're like, uh-oh, Acuna's getting the heaters.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Is the timing right at the right time for him?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: By the way, I mean, you know, you can say
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: whatever you want, but the Braves splitting this series was
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: just as important as the Phillies splitting this series because
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: four games checked off the schedule, and, you know, they
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: didn't gain any ground. So now we're still in a
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: good spot. You know, Sale pitched great. You know, it
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: was actually a really well-pitched series by both sides, and
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the Braves checked four games off the schedule head-to-head and
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: didn't lose any ground, just like the Phillies didn't make
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: up any ground.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Gratz football season is back, and Fabletics knows all about it.
• 26:15

• 27:17
  Speaker 1: But Donovan said, I get on the field, I feel
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: like I'm going to throw up. Then I take around balls.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I have to take every other one because I'm going
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: to throw up. So that's kind of been the process
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: to this point. AJ, man, this Mariners season is a disaster.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not Brendan Donovan's fault. I mean, but wow,

  Speaker 2: had any of this stuff, so I don't know. But
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: I've heard stories about it. Sounds awful.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Concussion on August 22nd. Batting cages pregame got not clocked.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: And yeah, at this point, Kratz, I mean, they're days
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: away from being like, dude, just shut it down. We're
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: not in this anyway.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, we know so much about concussion protocol, about
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: getting back. Most of the time, it's over the top.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: But when you get stuff like this, when you have
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: symptoms like this, I'm not even fearful of this season.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: I'm fearful of what AJ said. Like, how long does
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: this last? Because when you get this, you've got to
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: get it out.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: You have to.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Completely heal from it before you can just ramp it
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: up and be 100% because you never want this to linger.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. What an awful, awful series for them. You dropped
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the first three against the A's. Then Brian Wu shoved,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: but kind of felt like too little too late. You
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: got to take three out of four against them. You
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: lose three out of four. You're like, whoa, that's how
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you're starting the soft spot on the schedule? Was this
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: team really capable of winning 10 games in a row
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: or something? I doubt it.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: There's not enough time. The problem is they've gone too
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: far behind now.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, too many teams in front, too.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Good moves in the offseason, not enough.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Hey, did you guys see this? Jake Cronenworth has been
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: trying to hit an opposite field home run. No, he's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: well aware of it. He's talked about it, guys. And
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: in fact, I went back to look up my nerdy research. Kratz,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you know my nerdy notes I keep. He actually had
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: one this March in spring training. It was a windy day.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: He got to the left center field berm there. So
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that was the first one I think he had done
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: in spring training or majors, but hadn't gotten it in
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: a regular season game. And then Got one here over
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the weekend. We just showed the chart. AJ, first opposite
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: field homer. And it was a cheapie, but it got there.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Doesn't matter. It's a homer. Cheapie or not, it's a homerun.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Ask Trevor if you like giving up cheapies or matter.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It's a homer. It's pretty awesome. I
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: think if you look at my chart, I didn't have
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: many opposite field homers either. Most of mine were pull.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Today's game, most of them were pull. Look at Isak Faraday's.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: All the homeruns he's hit, they're all pull. So this
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: is kind of what they're teaching now. But Krohn's zone,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: he snuck one in there. So good job, Krohn's zone.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: You know what sucks about a cheap home run, AJ? Nothing.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing. It's like a broken bat base hit. That's
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: a knock. That's a knock.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: But it is kind of crazy. I mean, but the
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: reality is most of your homers are going to be
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: to the poolside, like AJ said. But everybody's like, oh, man,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: he's got oppo power. Okay, well, let's see him actually
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: dip into it here. You know, the short porch will
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: get you. That's why I think... A place like Yankee
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Stadium is actually really, really good for a right-handed hitter
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: and not as like, oh, this is the best for
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: a lefty. Because pull swings consistently don't work out well.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: You want to stay to the big parts of the ballpark.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: And then when you can stay on a baseball a
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: little bit longer for a righty and it's a pop-up
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: to right and that goes out, that's where I think
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: there's super value. Or David Ortiz, any lefty in Fenway.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Those things are sneaky, make you a better hitter overall.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: True.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: There are some guys who have thrived in the opposite field,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: power department, where you see the spray chart and it's
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: really balanced.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: It doesn't happen often. No, but now.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: It's becoming more of a lost art. No? I mean,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: we're seeing less and less of it than we used to.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: You think we see the same amount?
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: No, we see more pull now because that's what everyone's
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: talking about. Yeah, more pull. That's what they promote. No, 100%.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: But I'm saying, even back in the day, though, I
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: remember Jim Tomey was the guy that had the most
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: off-ball power I ever remember, right? But most guys still
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: back then, most home runs are pole-side mistakes. When you
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: talk to most hitters, and Pete Alonzo said this, you
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: catch a breaking ball out front, that's how you hit
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: a home run. It's a mistake.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Better than Bosco is for a few minutes. We give
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a little love to the Red Sox back on a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: roll again, AJ. I mean, they took all four against
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: the Orioles. They probably buried their season and the Orioles
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: pissed them off. Blaze Alexander kept trying to rile up
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the crowd. It was IKF mocking him on the bases.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Sonny Gray also had some words about him too. He
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't know. He basically was like kind
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: of acting like, I don't know who that guy is, but,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what he was doing, but I
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: don't like it.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: It was kind of what Trevor May said, remember, when
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: he said that Pete Alonzo told him when Michael Harris
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: hit the ball and got a single. Or when Zach
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Wheeler was like, yeah, it didn't really bother me. And
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: then Sonny Gray was like, I don't know who that
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: dude is, right, but what is he doing? Anyways, the
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Red Sox ended the Orioles season. I'm sorry. They went
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: into that series four games, had a chance to gain
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: some ground. And Adley Rutschman, first game, went off the
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: game I did, the two homers. And then after that,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox just literally just beat their ass and
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: ended the Orioles season. So we can probably tombstone the
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Orioles after the four-game series against the Red Sox. It
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: just put too much space between them and the rest
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: of the teams.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Does Blaise Alexander have a little bit of Sean Rodriguez
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: in him? He's been in a few things this year,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: hasn't he?
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: What else was he in?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: He was in another thing, at least one other thing.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that in a bad way. I mean, obviously,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Sean Rodriguez was incredibly entertaining. from a fan perspective, right?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: There was something going on. He was in the middle
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: of it. He was fiery. He might want to get
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: involved in a fight. You'd always see him getting held back.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Blaze was getting held back in this case with the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: benches clearing. So one of those guys sometimes can spark
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: you in the right way. Hey, the Red Sox have
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: that guy.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Congrats.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras, I think has been a necessary spark at
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: times to wake the team up. Yeah. Yeah.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. No, I get it. I get it. Maybe
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: a little over the top.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: I think Wilson was a little over the top too,
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: but I think he was trying to feel out his
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: new role where he was never really a leader other
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: times and then kind of was the veteran leader on
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: this team. So I think Wilson Contreras is a little
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: bit different. I love this stuff.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Like, it's still– like, yes, I get it. The Red
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Sox are way better than the Orioles this year, but
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: it's still a division rival. Like, it doesn't matter where
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: you're at. When you're playing division rivals, when you're playing
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: teams within your division– Things get heated on.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Both sides, whether it's a player that's been in the
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: league for a long time or somebody like Blaze who
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: hasn't been in the league as long.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I got a good stat for you, too, on the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Red Sox. Or, sorry, on the Orioles. Their number, I'm
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: just trying to make sure I get it exactly right.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I think I have it 6 and I think it's
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: 6 and 17 against the Red Sox and the Yankees
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: this year for Baltimore.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: That's not a good number. By the way, I know
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: they're only three games out, but this weekend felt like
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: their chance to really get back into it. I know
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: they beat the Guardians last night as a team they're chasing, too.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're not officially done, but it just feels like
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: when you get swept in that, you're kind of just
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: out of it. They could sweep the Guardians and, who knows,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: be right back in this thing.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: That's true. That's the team they're chasing.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: By the way, Tanner Bybee's pitching tonight. He's 5-15.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: 5-15?
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: He's got a 4 ERA. He's barely got a 4 ERA.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Score some runs for the guy, please.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Right, on a decent team, a team that's lacking some offense.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: It's a pitching team.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: 2003 Tigers were Roth and Bonderman. Roth lost 20 and Bonderman,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I think, lost 19 on a team that was just
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: completely awful. The Guardians are over. 500. Yeah, right.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: That Tigers team was 100 loss plus. This Guardians team,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: it's pitching and defense. But, yeah, maybe they get some
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: runs on the board. If they don't, they're going to
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: be in some trouble again. I mean, all of a sudden,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: that would, what, put Baltimore 2 back and the Blue Jays,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: depending on what they do, would leave them. So, yeah,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: this thing's not done yet.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: By the way, Brandon Young has been really good for
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: the Orioles. He's pitching tonight. He's been really good. Except
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: for the two home runs he gave to Adley on Thursday.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: He was good in that game, too. Right.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: That was in game two. Adley knew what was coming.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: The old catcher. Old catcher tricks.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: He's looking good in the past.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Standing ovation. Whack. Homer, not a standing ovation.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Not as much.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Not as many people standing. That ball he hit yesterday,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: by the way, also, side note, Adley off the pesky pole.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I think he hit it off the top of the
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: pesky pole at like 112.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: It's short. It was 112 EV.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: It was. It was like, bing, bing. Like, quick. Quick.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: It got a home or anywhere else. Not a home
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: or anywhere else. Cause it goes foul every other park.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: You mean it, you mean it would have hooked foul.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Hmm.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, this from Ryan Bass on raise TV in response
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: to Shane McClanahan, hitting the shelf left forearm tightness for him. Well,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: he tweeted about McClanahan's quotes and Shane Mack said, I
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: don't think it's anything too serious to, You mentioned that
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it's tightness and not pain. They're trying to nip it
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: in the butt as early as they can. He is
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: expected to pitch again this season. Well, you know what helps, AJ?
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Getting Freddy Peralta at the trade deadline.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: You know what else helps? Nipping it in the bud,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: not in the butt. You never want to nip it
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: in the bud. I thought it was bud, too. It's bud.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Nip it in the bud. It's not the bud. You
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: wrote bud.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I'm just Ron Bergen reading the quote.
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: I know. They're doing it the Ray way. It's fine.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: It's fine. You know, it's fine.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Ray's like butts over buds.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some people do. You never know. I mean, I
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: like big butts and I cannot lie. Who knows? But yeah,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, hopefully he's back. I mean, but Freddy Peralta,
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: they still have a strong rotation even without McClanahan. McClanahan
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: was just kind of icing on the cake. Much like
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Luis Robert Jr., he's hurt a lot. It's always something.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: And it sucks because this dude is really good when
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: he's right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I'm glad he came out and said what it was.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Because maybe through these injuries, because you see how much
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: of a gamer Shane McClanahan is in different interviews.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: He's out there.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: He's not punching out the world right now this year.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Hopefully he's able to say it's tight. I want to
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: get this taken care of instead of I'm going to
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: pitch through this and then it becomes something more.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Rays don't have the division wrapped up yet.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: They're keeping the Yankees just close enough. to think about this.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's three games right now. I don't have
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: every single race memorized right now. Yeah, I understand.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't know where the season
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: series is at. Rays have been playing 500 ball for
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the past like month or so, but I mean, that's fine.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: You're going to go through stretches like that. You just
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: want to make sure if you're the Rays that the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: pitching is feeling good heading into October. Right. I mean,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: obviously you want to win the division. You got to
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: do your thing.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: You love to get the buy too. You love to
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: get the buy to get everyone there. And by the way,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: if you Google nip it in the bud, it says
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: the correct phrase, nip it in the bud, not nip
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: it in the butt. Just FYI. So Google it. They'll
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: tell you not nip.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: It in the butt. Yeah, but everybody, you know, the
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: league likes to, the theme of the day, do the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: pull side homers. The Rays don't. Opposite fields, running, Brewers
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: the same way. So the Brewers also do a nip
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: it in the butt, not a nip it in the butt.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: They just like to zigzag in a different direction from
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: everyone else. But for everyone else, it's bud. If you
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: learned one thing today. Hey, we tweeted this a couple
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: days ago, and this is just not an injury you
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: hear about as frequently, but Luke Weaver's been dealing with
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: poison ivy for about a month, hasn't slept during that time.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: We had him on during that time. He didn't mention anything, but,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not pitching as well with the Pirates
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: as he was with the Mets. Small sample size, but
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: just throwing that out there. Did you guys ever know
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: anyone that was dealing with poison ivy?
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: No, I thought you just put lotion on and went away.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Definitely. No way. No, well, somebody said the best way
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to get rid of it is a steroid cream, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. Well, no, but you can't do
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: a steroid cream, though.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: You can't? They have to have something they can give him.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: There has to be something approved by Major League Baseball. Yes.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: The steroid cream is not anabolic steroid cream.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you can give a guy a steroid
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: for a ringworm. And you can give a guy a
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: steroid for poison ivy.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you can't.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Poison ivy sucks. Hopefully, he didn't get it where it
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: really sucks. But that's all.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: How do you get poison ivy? I don't even know
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: if poison ivy was a thing anymore. Oh, yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I've gotten it. You never got poison ivy when you
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: were a kid walking around in the backyard or in
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the woods or whatever?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: No? You don't have it in Florida? I don't know.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Maybe we don't. I mean, we had red bugs. You
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: ever had red bugs? Those things suck.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: They're like these little bugs. You get them if you
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: play in moss. Like in the oak trees here, they
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: all have the Spanish moss. And if you get in there,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: you know, when you're a kid, you put it all
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: over yourself. You're trying to get around and you get red. Oh, man.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: It's like hell. No, definitely never.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know about those. But poison ivy in the northeast.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Poison ivy and ticks. Big.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Ticks are bad. Ticks are bad, by the way. After
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: going to Martha's Vineyard with my son all this summer,
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: all I heard was about ticks and alpha gal. Like,
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: I ain't want no alpha gal. That's for sure. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: don't know what alpha gal is, but. Alpha-gal is where
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: you get bit by a tick. You can't eat red
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: meat or any red meat products. No cheese, no milk,
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: no nothing. It's way worse than Lyme disease. If you
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: eat a piece of red meat, you go into shock, basically.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: That sounds like something Scott will get.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: It does sound like something. I get all the unique
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: exotic stuff. The problem is I'm basically just down to
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: paleo red Red meat is a big part of the diet.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: So if I get that, I'm screwed. I'm not eating
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: much after that.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Google it. Google it, kids. It's great. Because you even
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: go in the Northeast, they're like alpha gal friendly. I'm like,
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I thought this was a joke. It ain't no joke.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: That's bad. Yeah, Northeast has too many ticks. It's a thing.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: All right, last thing while we have a minute, AJ.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: And we didn't even get your thoughts on the Tampa Stadium.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: We'll do a segment on it at some point. But
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: did you also see the White Sox throwing some renderings
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: out there? Yes.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Right by the soccer stadium. You
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: see the soccer stadium next to it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing I worry about is where
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: do you put the thing that everyone wants, which is
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: the shops and all that. I mean, there's a little
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: area there, but is that big enough? I don't know.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: But you're going to need, you know, something. Everyone wants
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: 100 plus acres. That's what's hard to find. But that
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: is what the Rays got. They got over 100 acres.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: And that's good for my boy Patrick and good for
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: the Rays because I think it's going to do great
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: where it is.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: It's going to need to be at least six times
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: that side. What is that, a stadium for ants?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: They're going to switch the name of the team to
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the Chicago Ants. The Crane Chicago had the credit on
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the footage there, but Sox Machine, our show on the
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: FT Network, has been covering that quite a bit. So
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: that's it for a Tuesday. Welcome back, everyone, from the
• 43:24
