• 0:03
  Speaker 1: You know how we regularly do injury set. What you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: know how we do injury set?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, regularly. The segment.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Today happens to be one of those days where a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: lot of guys are actually returning. We'll get to some
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of them later, but there were a few that I
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: just had mentioned here at the top on my notes.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Cal Raley coming back from his oblique.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: They're still missing Brendan Donovan, but the Mariners are in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: basically the same spot as last year. So M's fans,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you're good, and the three visions worse and divisions I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: would say worse if you significantly worse. The A's are
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: starting to ball out a little bit.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Nick Kurtz is.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Six homers in his last eight games to yesterday, five,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Ribby's four forty something.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: OBP.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: OBP has never been his problem, no strikeouts, starts out
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: a lot.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: He's an outcomes guy, but he's the top of that list.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Him and your boy Murakami do that right, right, If
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you're going to be three true outcomes, do it like
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Nick Kurtz and Murakami if you can. Yes, Drake Baldwin
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: coming back, Yes, I don't know. Did he play one
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: rehab game?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: They're probably like everyone's turt we need you.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I know he like one ten exit blast. They're like
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: he's good hitting, my heart.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Let's go rehab against the against big league teams.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, rehab rated overrated under.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: I think it matters you do. I think as on
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: how long you're out, I think you need. Most people
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: needed at least two games. Okay, at least two games.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: He played one guys he got three at bats. Some
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: guys don't.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: The thing for him, though, is the catching, just jumping
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: back in after missing like over a month, you're not catching.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: It's been just under a month. Sorry, So I think
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: he went out on May eighteen. He hasn't caught anything.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: So that's going to be for me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: They were the problem.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: So they'll probably manage the workload.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Is DHM to start.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: You could do some of that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: He certainly deserves every day bees if he looks like
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: he did before the injured listent.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, true.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're charging the mound with Dustin May. Dustin May
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: going cg look at the CGS lately. Yeah, nine k's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: one hit, one walk.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: He was doing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He was carried in a perfect game into the seventh.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say no, no, but it's perfect. Machada
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: broke it up well a walk to Tatista and Machado
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: knock broke it up in the seventh.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But just the thing with the great job justin Maybe
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: this is the thing with the Potters don't hit. They
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: we talked about it.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: I think yesterday we were like, oh, Crat said oh
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Gavin Chets and went on Gavin Cheeks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: But they just they don't hit. They don't hit consistently enough.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: And when you have Manny and Pities and Meryll all struggling,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: it's a hard way to live.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You know they're missing Louis. It shows.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry some people owe me apologies about Louisa.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Rice spoke about him in the off season. You don't agree.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You think Louis Rise changes this lineup? Yes, stop, he's
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a great piece. He's a great piece to add to
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: your lineup. But he's not. People are like, oh, the
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Padres lineup is deadly with Louisa Rise. No, it's just
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: another swingles hitter, swing and sway and hit your singles.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: They need some thump and they have thump. It's just
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: crazy that these guys don't thump. As a team, they
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: make a collective effort to stay in the at bat.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: They make a collective effort to not strike out. At
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: some point, we need these guys to be able to
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: help their starting pitchers go past four or five innings
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: because their bullpens delicious, but their offense is just it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: not there right now.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: It's not it's not it's been a struggle for him.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: It's been a struggle for him. Sorry, it's been a
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: struggle for Louisa Rise. I mean, he's gonna take the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: first pitch, he's gonna hit a single. Oh, he's their best.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Like if you add him to their lineup right now, Scott,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: you can't tell me that. You're like, oh, the West
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: top spot in the wild card.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: It's yours. And you guys are overstating it.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'm saying when I'm watching a game with the Padres,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: pictures get in such a rhythm.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Sometimes against them, they're like, are.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: They going to do anything any traffic, Because that's what
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: we're looking at this is there's a power problem for years,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: right that was a problem last year, but it's beyond that.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Now you're starting to see a team that can't get
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on base. Luisa Rice can get on base.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I mean he doesn't get on base. No, he doesn't
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: get on base. He's an average guy, I.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Know, but he's three nineteen, three point fifty two four
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: thirty five.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but they need where's crone zone? They need cron zone? Well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: he was an on base guy. That's ja Marra was
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: supposed to be an.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: On base guy.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he hasn't been their catchers.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Of There's just a lot of holes on this team.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: That's why I said it a couple weeks ago. Remember
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I said, are they fools goal? Do we really believe
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: in the Padreds or do we not believe in the Padres?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: And slowly they've kind of making pitch. I want to
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: believe I do. I want to see this team. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: want to see this fan base that supported this team.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I want to see them succeed. I think they've built
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: a devastating bullpen for the playoffs. I think they're starting
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: pitching is how it is. I love Michael King. I
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: want to see this team succeed with all the athletes
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: that they have and how the team was built. But
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I don't see it. I don't see where this turnaround
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: is gonna be. I think they can make the playoffs,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: but I want to see them go deep into the playoffs.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I want to see how the team was built have
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: success to other teams are like, okay, well we can
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: do that too.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, cronin Worth will help if he figures the concussion
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: symptoms situation out. Did you see the batting average board
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: while Kratz was talking not very good? Tatisa's two seventy nine.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Nobody else is over two thirty.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: That's crazy.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Two thirty nobody else.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: They had one of the best hitting coaches, and I'm
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: not blaming the hitting coach. I'm not blaming the hitting coach,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: but they had Victor RODRIGUEZU form me as one of
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the best, and they got rid of him. For a
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: guy who's steven SUSA, who's played in the big leagues,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I get that he had a lot of homers in
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the big leagues, but he's never been a hitting coach
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: at this level, and there's something to that, especially when
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: a team that's trying to win, unless you have a
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: guy that's really been a hitting coach and really done
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: some things.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Again, I'm not blaming him, but you know, from what
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I've heard, he's gone heavy analytics. We've already seen Manny
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Machado come out and say it's not all about analytics.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: So maybe there's some two I don't know. It's just
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: an easy blame and I shouldn't say that. I should
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: take the easy way out. But they can't hit.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's part of it. It's a whole village. It's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the personnel, it's the coaching. All of that can contribute
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to the lack of hitting. Support for today's episode comes
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: from Square, and they've got big news. During Squar's biannual
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Releases event, they launched a wave of innovative new tools

• 8:35
  Speaker 1: positive though. Dustin May draft season signing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: He's been great for the Cardinals all since he got there.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: He's been awesome. He's kind of like the one veteran
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: guy they have in their rotation. I guess him and Liberatore.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: But if he's healthy, this is the potential that everyone
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: saw if he could stay healthy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: And right now he's healthy and he's dealing.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Remember last year he was dealt to Boston. He didn't
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: really pitch well there. I mean, how many starts you
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: make five and a relief appearance close to thirty innings
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: five and a half is ra red, SOX fans were
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: like bye, and now, as you can see, our friend
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Gabrielle Star covers the red Sox said, the list of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: pitchers who struggle with the Red Sox and then become
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: elite immediately with a new team is no longer or
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is longer than a CBS receipt, and that's a longer seat.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We've spoken a lot about Harrison, but it's time to
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: give Dustin May some flowers here three seven five earned
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: run average, eighty one and two thirds innings.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: This guy's got it right now.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He's been really, really solid for a team that can
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: bang so Kratz. What do you need guys that are
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: gonna post, put up innings and keep you in games.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Dustin May doing that to a t as we check
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: out the rotation here right now and then click in
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: on May. But others too, right I think Plante is
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: pitching tonight. There's some guys that you know, most aren't
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: paying attention to that are helping the Cardinals stay in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the mix. And it's why the Cardinals and the Nowationals
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: hold playoff seats right now.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's I don't I'm not gonna lie
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: like I couldn't be more surprised. I think Dustin May
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I thought he was going to give them solid innings.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: The question was always will he stay healthy, which hasn't
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: been the case for his career. He lines himself to throw.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: You know, if he can throw his thirty starts here
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: like that would be just a massive turnaround for him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: It just seems like he's not afraid to throw strikes
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: in the zone. And just like the rest of this rotation,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: they don't really rack up a lot of strikeouts. They're
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: not afraid of contact, which is such an old school,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: old school mentality that I think a lot of people
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: are surprised by it. I think a lot of people
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: are like, well, I don't know how it's gonna last,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: including me. You gotta strike you gotta strike dudes out,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: but it's not the end all be all, And if
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you're only throwing throwing pitches for strikeouts, you're never gonna
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: get to where Dustin may have got yesterday to the
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: ninth inning, because it takes a lot of pitches to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: try to rack up strikeouts and try to get swings
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: and misses.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But their defense is so good because the defense
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: are actually defense is so good.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: So sometimes though, but sometimes even you know, strikeouts, yes,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: is great if you get strikeouts, obviously, but if you
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: have a team that can put the ball in play,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: and you have a team that just catches everything you
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: don't don't necessarily need. Now when the playoffs, it's nice,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: and there are certain times where it's nice, But man,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: it's nice. If you know of a pitcher, what do
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: they always tell? Let them put it in play?
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Right forever? Let them put in play. We'll catch it. Well,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the Cardinals, you know what they do. They catch it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: They catch it everywhere they catch, they hit, and they're
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: pitching well enough, well enough to be here right.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: And Walker, Jordan Walker should be in the all three game. Yeah,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: of course he's not even I think he's like six
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: or seven in the voting.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Him and James would need to get more, of course,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: so we'll we'll look at that. Uh can we get
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the dustin may quote? It's like five seconds, let's running.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: He walked down and said, how do you feel? I said,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: is that a question? Like I'm going back out there?
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I felt great.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: It was a good outing, great defense, great great teamwork.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: As I checked in with him just to make sure
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: he had enough in the tank. It was a three
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: second conversation. But man, when you're feeding off of the outing,
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: it's a Monday night. This place was The energy was awesome,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: and I appreciate it. I could tell you our players
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: appreciate it. You had the place was fun of playing,
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: and you have the tarpsof section. I mean by the
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: ninth thing, that place was packed out. So you feed
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: off of all of that. I asked him if he
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: had enough in the tank. He gave me a quick
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: glance and I walked away.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Six biggest differences twenty twenty six to twenty twenty five
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: looking at this year back to last year, walk great
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: down a lot out of his own swing percentage up
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: a lot. Talking about Dustin May, of course expect batting
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: average is going to go down a lot when we're
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: going over these stats. Velocity up a tick and change
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: almost aero point and a half. Slugging percentage down a lot,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Viral percentage down a lot. Those are some big key
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: stats Dustin May is looking at right now that are
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: working for him.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You know, he joins a new party here.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: He had been with the Dodgers for a long time,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Red Sox for a second, and then with Saint Louis.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: What did he tell us he didn't feel like he
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: was doing what he wanted to do. Wasn't he one
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of those guys you know sometimes you ask the pictures
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: are interesting because you got the team philosophy, the picture
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: thinks they know themself, and there's a back and forth
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: there sometimes where team's like, hey, we've got the answer
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: for you might wrong on this one, Kratz.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: You think Kyle Harrison said he wasn't doing what the
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Red Sox were kind of making him do. What he
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: you're talking about from spring training when we talked to him.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Right, we talked to Dustin May though I remember both
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I don't remember him saying that, but yeah
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't remember him saying that either. But
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: you do have to pitch. He did say that, but
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: he talked to a lot of people we have last
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: couple of years. You do have to pitch your game.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I don't care if AJ's your catcher, if I'm your catcher,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: if the picture's out there and they're like, he just
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: never calls what I want to throw. This organization never,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: They're never shifted where I want to be shifted. Boom,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: it's your career.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Dave Roberts yesterday said Edmund Diaz coming along really well,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: set to throw a bullpen this week. Still looking at
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: post All Star Break return for him. Encouraged with his progress.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now is still not throwing or making much
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: progress with his back injury.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Remember it was like we didn't even know if he
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: was going to go on.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I l and it wasn't even like a thing.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: He goes down.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Always curious. I mean, maybe we'll get Tyler at some
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: point to ask him about that. And then Tommy Edmund
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: back today. Edmund's back. They're gonna I.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Forgot he was even on the dust.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I know he's good. I know they're gonna work him in.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: He's going to play a few different positions, a little infield,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: little outfield, a few days a week, ramp up.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, we'll come back. Yeah, I forgot that he was
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: even on the team. Honestly, is it been so long.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's been a minute, and you know, and he was
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: bothered by things last year too, But still helpful.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Miggy row by the way, yesterday I had the big
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: pinch hit danger. That was a good game. Dodgers raised. Yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Eric lower quality start.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm. It's weird.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Nobody wanted he gets a start and not have an
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: opener and.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers got him like for free. Nobody wanted him.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: It's not a money thing.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Teams don't need starters. They don't, especially quality left hander
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: ones that were good last night. They don't need those.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Did anybody watch him last year?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: No, I'm that one.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers ended up with him. Of all people, it's
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: unfair of all teams, Scott, it's unfair.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: We need a cap.

  Speaker 3: to avenge? That poor guy that Garrett Cole threw at
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: an a ball after he took him deep. They're gonna
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: forget his name, Boomer Boomer bro. He was like a
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: he was like a big prospect. Right, it's a revenge game.
• 16:59

• 17:27
  Speaker 3: ton of utes on the team, like they're all they're
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: all young guys, so why would they not know him?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You're right?
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I need it true? I mean raised Dodgers Rasmussen versus
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: Robleski's a good matchup. Rasmussen's nasty and then Guardians at

  Speaker 3: So did you say that?
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yes?

• 18:29
  Speaker 1: out there, man, it's the back barking now him and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Troy Melton. I don't Melton, I don't think hit the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: shelf yet as far as I know, but he was
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to pitch yesterday and he got scratched with back tightness.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But for Grayson, it's the back low back inflammation Drew
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Pomerant's dfade. If you don't recognize the current Angels, it's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: because most of the roster doesn't look like it did
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: at the start of the year.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: No, but they do have one guy that's pretty good
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: and he's pitching to night.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Oh is thats Thatmer's pitching tonight. Yeah.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Talk to Grayce and we just had him all and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: he was so excited to be back out there. He
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: missed a year. So it sucks. Man. Injury suck. We
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: always talk about it, but injuries suck.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: They do.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Demers have better numbers than Soriano. Now close, let's see
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: probably two seven nine for Soriano eighty seven innings.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, he's got better numbers.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Strikes out a lot of guys.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he doesn't. He's got a four. He's got
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a four. Yeah, he strikes out way more. Yeah, he
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: still got a four. I mean, he had a pretty
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: slow start, but then he's he's rolling right. Now, there's
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the rotation of ninety one innings that'll play.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I found out. I found out it was November nineteenth
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: that I said, how do the Orioles trade? Or yeah,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: trade Grayson Rodriguez with years of control as a starting pitcher,
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: and somebody hit me back on Twitter and I said, well,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: you know what, I was wrong, but the reality is
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: and figure it out. They still have control of them.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Taylor Award, he's gone after this year. So yep, I
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: just have a hard time getting rid of starting pitching,
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: youthful starting pitching. I get it, he's been hurt. You
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: don't want to see this. I was wrong. I didn't
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: say he wasn't going to get hurt. I just have
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: a hard time seeing teams get rid of really good
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: starting pitching that's young.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: And for the Angels, I mean they've struggled in that
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: department forever, so they weren't going to win this year regardless.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Taylor Ward was not going to be the difference maker
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: for the Angels for sure.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: That Mars.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: You know, it's surprising that Mers.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I mean these the last what a few starts, he's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: been on a heater, but I mean he had May nineteenth,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: eight runs and five and two thirds.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: That really Yeah.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's starting to get on a roll. He's got
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: good stuff. Teams want him. He's a guy team.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Can definitely see being moved.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: The dude's entertaining Pete Crow Armstrong with a cycle. It
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: was a reverse straight homer, then a triple, then a
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: double finished for the single was picked off right after
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that next pitch.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: But let's focus on the positives.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Thirteenth Cubs player to do it first since Lash July
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Byron Buxton.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: And it was a wild game.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: They would have lost, they came back and won.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: For granted, they were playing the Rockies.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Rockies have been given him a fight, yeah, but I.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Mean the Rockies bullpen Is. But if he hit the
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: cycle and they were losing, and I was like, they're
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: losing and he's got the Usually when the team.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Guy hits for the cycle, your team is crushing the
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: other team. And they were losing four to two at
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: the time, and then they came back and scored three
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: and all that. So but PCA, you talk about being
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: on a heater. PCA has been on a heater ever since.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: You know, the team hasn't been doing good, but PCA
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: has been doing good.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: He's like the one player when you turn on the
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Cubs game, You're like, all right, I want to see PCA.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: What he's gonna do.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: He's made some he has made some mistakes. In the field,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: but he's improved out. I mean, look, i mean he
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: to seventy seven, which you used to not be that great.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: But I mean, I'm just amazed. Every time we show these.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Betting everages for every team, it's like, damn, but you
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: see his numbers. I mean, he's one of the best
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: players going right now, and he is fun as hell
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: to watch. I love this guy, said it's in State one.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: I love watching this dude play. And he's an All
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: Star right now. He truly is an All Star right now.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, crats.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I mean he's been inconsistent, although that was the case
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: last year where it was a tale of two halves,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: this year it's been more like a tale of different months.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: But the defense is always there too, And even if
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: there's a gaff here and there, he's the best defender
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in center field in the sport.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Heirs. Dwayne Murphy, I think he won three Gold Gloves
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: said about playing elite outfield defense. He was like, you
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: know what, you're gonna have airs. But the good outfielders,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: especially good center fielders, they track balls down, they get
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: they just they make your right and left fielders better.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: And that's what PCA does. Yes, I get it. He's
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: lost balls in the sun. He dropped a fly ball, Like,
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: those are things that happen. You're gonna have your airs.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: It's just a matter of what balls he gets to.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Those are the game changers, Those are the games that
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: or those are the plays that keep them in the game.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: And the fact that the cycle, the one cycle I'll
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: never forget was Christian Yelich hit for a second cycle
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: and it was against the Reds. I think we ended
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: up winning the game, like thirteen to eleven, but every
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: single one of his I think he had five hits
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: that game. Every single one of his hits went for
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: like the game tying RBI or go ahead RBI at
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: each point in the game. So for PCA to have
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: they were losing two to one and he had the
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: cycle at first base, You're like, all right, wait what
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: he gets picked off? Well, that's kind of a big deal.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Like it was crazy. It's so rare that you see
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: something like. Let alone the fact that he did it
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: in reverse order, like hardest to easiest. He rarely goes
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: that way.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. It was unique.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: But the hardest is the triple yes, so he but
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: he did it. He did a reverse. Yeah, there were
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: triple double single pickoff.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Not easy to triple, and it's hard.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Not even I could get a triple on it and
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I had speed.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: You couldn't do it. Who could?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: That was my only chance of a triple when I
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: found out I didn't have a triple at the end
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: of my career. My only chance for a triple was
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: thwarted by ben's Obrist. I hit a lester back door
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: cutter down the first baseline and ben Zobrist made this
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: like dive against the wall because you know there's no
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: there's no foul territory there. It was like rolling right
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: down the line and he like dove to stop it,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: and Moose was on first and I got to second.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Had it had it gone by him, it would have
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: been easy stand up triple. My only triple on my career,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: So I could have said I had a cycle in
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: my career, not in a game in my entire career. Well,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: you know some of us have walk off triples. Cratch sorry,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: figure out how you get a figure out how you
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: get a walk off triple by the way, mm hmm
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: speed speed. I can't stand when announcers say he's a
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: triple triple shy of the cycle. Please don't say that.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: That's not you're just having a good day. You have
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: three hits. Let's let's keep it at that.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: If you're like a single shy, double shy, that's fine.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Don't say a triple shy of the cycle. Like triples
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: in the big leaues are really hard to come by.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Ken in the chat said, why does anyone throw a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: PCA strike? Makes no sense? Chase right, it's like forty percent.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: We used to say that about Hide Bayaz when he
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: was the star and about aj.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: So answer that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: You want to know why they do because pictures are
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: conditioned to throw strikes, yes, and they throws the can.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: They're not conditioned to throw balls. They're told their whole
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: life throw it over the plate, especially, you know what,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: especially the really good pictures. That's that's what's funny, is
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: like people were like, oh, who'd you hit well? And
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: I'm like, Maddox, why because he threw it over the plate.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: It was the guys that couldn't throw it over the
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: plate that I was suck against because cranky, Sure, I'll
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: hit him all day long because he threw it over
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: the plate.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: It was the dudes that couldn't throw a strike, and
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, swing at the one up here.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: The guys threw it over the plate.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Those dudes you can hit guys that got you out
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: of the zone. Worse quality of contact generally.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: But even but like, yes, but their misses are smaller too,
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Like those guys addicts and those guys that were strike throwers,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: their missus were smaller. Even if they're trying to throw
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: it out of the strike zone. Max's out of the
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: zone was like this far I could hit that.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Still, Well, that's the blessing in the curse is you
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: can get to those pitches out of the zone and
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: that leads to hits. Now there's a line if it's
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: a non competitive pitch, I mean it gets spit out
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: by you PCA. But I mean the point is there.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: The chase percentage actual thirty eight percent, it's eleventh percentile.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: It's not actually that bad. There's people that are way
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: higher or not.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, way ten percent of the league is worse than that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: So to try to get a big, big picture, who's
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: been established when you tell them, like this guy is
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: O two. We used to say about Hobby Bias, He's
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: O two all the time. They'd be like, huh, what
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: does that mean? Means if you're two? Oh, you're still
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: in O two count because two oh big league pictures.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: They're now like, okay, I'm missing on half the plate here.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I might even just throw throw one, you know, in
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: that area, and I'm totally fine. We'll see a contact.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Those type of guys, you got to be like, hey,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: who cares, I don't care. If it's three to one,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: you're O two. Think you're O two. And they're like, huh.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: It just means that you expand the zone at all
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: times because they'll help you out. But let's put it
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: this way. PCA is not hobby bias. We're not trying
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: to Hobby Bayas was another elite level as far as
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: chase and contact and damage outside of the zone is
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: pretty good though.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Right now he's good.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: It got paid too. Oh no, no, I mean I
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: mean Hobby chased everything. Yeah, he's gotten a lot better
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: than where he was too.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: He's gotten better. And chasing is chasing.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: If it's out of the zone, right, if it's a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: few inches out of the zone, you chased, right, watch
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: PA chases. There's some that are like whoa, but watch
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Hobby bias chases. That's another level chase.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's memes all over the place of him.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah where like that's in another area code and he
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: went for it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: That's just how unique Hobby Baias is.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And when he had that little run where he was
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: getting empty p voats, it's pretty incredible that he was
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: able to do that, hitting you know, many pitches that
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: were well outside of the zone and turning the legit contact.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. Oh here's your boy, Kratz.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Gabriel Rincones junior first career hit was a homer yesterday
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: against Miami in a shutout win for Zach Wheeler, who's
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: been dealing quietly.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Thoughts on this one.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I mean I heard I heard a lot about him.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: One of the coaches on my high school team is
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: the bullpen catcher with the Phillies, and I'd heard like, Hey,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: you know what this guy he's he's a little bit different.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: They don't have a lot going on down at Lehigh
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: right now, but he was a little bit different in
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: the fact that his first big league hits a homer.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I always thought that would be so cool. I know
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: it took him a couple of days I think he
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: made his debut on Friday, so you hit your first
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: hit then Monday at home and it's a dinger. That's
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: pretty cool.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: One more from Bomb by the way too, you didn't
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: see it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a few bombs from Cold Heath yesterday too.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: I know he had won, didn't he going into.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: There and come a while to get one. I think
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: he had won.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: And then he got one. Four. He doubled him.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: He's strong. I mean he should have. He's a big guy. Yes,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: So that was a nine to three win for the
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Tigers yesterday. Kwa Tang had been really good and then
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: he's starting to unravel. For the Astros, they're patching together.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: The rotation it's been Brown back to Hunter Brown is good.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: That will help.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll see how I mean first start back, We'll see.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: But again, it psych school. You can't throw all the
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: team's hopes on one guy. Everyone.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, once a week relying on the guy. It does
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: help if they can go deep into games, because it
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: starts to fall apart with the bullpens when guys aren't
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: giving you length.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Ma has been a huge issue with that where it's
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: like you watching like, oh, he doesn't have it, get
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: the bullpen going early.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: That's part of the problem here too.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You hope that some of these guys come back and
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: even on their worst days they gave you six, maybe seven.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: You know, stuff like that's important too. Go ahead, Gretz.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I was just gonna say, you don't have
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: six guys in the bullpen that are just going to
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: be able to cover six innings on certain nights. So
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: when guys are only giving you three or four, you're
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: gonna get to the underbelly of your bullpen, which is
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: just going to cause more havoc later down the road
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: in the series. All that stuff. It's it's a tough
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: spot to be for a Spota when he's making those moves.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Mike Trott hasn't played, hadn't played at Chase Field in
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: eleven years. Oplahomer in the fifth first career at that park,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth part.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: He's homewarding, so good for him.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: A couple other things from yesterday, and get to remember
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: we talked about the padres orioles beef.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: They suspended Mayernachi although he's appealing.
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: I know they have to do it, but come on,
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, I know, why don't they used to spend
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: the guy who hit overts in the.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Head, because the person who retaliates always get to punish
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: the hardest.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Poor Trey Gibson, he's already been called up and sent
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: down five times. Don't find the guy too, Trey Gibson
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: hit him.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to get to the Mets,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: so I'll throw it in here. Christian Scott iieled hip
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: and pingement. Mets got blasted yesterday. Tobias Myers was Sheldy's
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: around the.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: Ghost fork is back anywhere close to the plate. Not
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: in Great American small park. Please do not make him
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: throw in that park. Oh wait, he's starting tonight.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: He's starting. They need it. I mean, they're they're hurting again.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: It's it's one of those you know for some teams
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: they fall apart and you're like, oh, they couldn't hit
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: it all in the beginning, and they couldn't yesterday, But like,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: offense getting going a little bit now, they're rotations in
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: shambles twentieth and starting pitching RRA guys are going down.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Like that's how nightmare seasons go, where you're like, oh, look,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Bow's hitting now, and then you're like, oh, wait, now,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: our starting pitching is a mess. Bullpen's been pretty good
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: for them, but they're on a track to sell it
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: the deadline and that is that is the wild stuff.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Second highest payroll in baseball.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Did you guys see the bat of Chase Burns and
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: Juan Soto last night? Oh? Yeah?
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: All the time out and then Burn's like, oh yeah,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: I watch his doors gone.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: He knew exactly who he's facing. And credit to Chase Burns.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: First one goes to him. I mean he went. I
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: mean that was that was a fun at bat to watch.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Chase Burns doors stupid good stuff wise, he's just getting
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the training wheels off and learning on the fly and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: it's really impressive.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: It's two drafts ago. I mean this, this guy's lights out.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: And remember the whole thing was wait, they didn't pick
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Charlie Condon. No, because the Reds need arms and it's
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: not easy to recruit arms out there, and that method works.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: You draft him. It's smart.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Let us slap. I was looking at the guest list
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the week. Jeff Passen is scheduled
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to join us tomorrow. We haven't had him on in
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a minute. Brandon Hyde, former Oriols manager is scheduled to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: join us on Thursday.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Where is he, crats, You know, I do not know.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Is he in Orlando? Because his daughter used to play
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: volleyball and there's a huge volleyball tournament.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: We can get him on live raise what I was
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: just told.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Where at.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: He's a senior advisor to the Baseball Operations department with
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the race.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: That's some pray for him because he lives in the
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Tampa area.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: It is, and he's slat on with a good team
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: I love when you run into a random X big
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: League manager. Freddie Gonzalez just randomly showed up at a
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: at a game in the fall, and I was like,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: what on earth are you doing here in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: He lives there. I'm around there. Some guys are home.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: You just don't think of those guys being home. He
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: lives there. He lives in outside Philly.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were two firings last year. I might be
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: missing others, but Brandon Hyde and Derek Shelton not your fault.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Derek Shelton is.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Management Twins team that has no business being this good
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: I mean they're not great.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: But Brandon had that team in the playoffs two years
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: in a row.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: And then they gave him negative pitching and they fell apart. Shocker,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: those two both got the raw end.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: And now Craig Alburnos is dealing with it.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: He is, but they had a much better offseason and
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: that's why they're at least in the mix. Last year
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: they were already a disaster.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: The Eorls, yeah, I mean, for all that's gone wrong,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: they're what a few games under.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Five hundredybody in the wild card in the American League, right.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: But they're not like fifteen under five hundred or whatever.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're there. Pete's playing well lately again
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: obviously not surprising, but the bats coming along there. Mark
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Trumbo is good. He delivers it if things are going well,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: if things are not going well, and of course for
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the Angels things are not going well. He does not
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: hold back, and he watches every game and when you
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: hear him go over what's going on with netto right now?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Both defensively and at the plate.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he lays it out and it's a guy
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: with credibility, this guy who's watching the games, and he
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: delivers in an entertaining way. So you don't want to
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: see a guy play this poorly. But if that's happening,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you're there for therapy. Halo Territory has a Foriocrats, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I mean we were cracking up to Trombo's delivery is good.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I mean sometimes, don't you think sometimes a player like that.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily saying that Oakuse he's never come on
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the show. I don't know him for anything. He won't
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: do interviews. But don't you think sometimes a player needs
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: that kind of combo, like, hey, dude, stop pimping singles
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: or whatever he was talking about.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I think everybody needs to be
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: kept in check. Obviously I haven't watched enough Angels games.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: But what Trumbo's saying is what he's seeing. And this
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: is a dude who was in the clubhouse. He's talked
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: about it a lot in the clubhouse, and some things
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: need to be said. It's cool on that show because
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: he's saying what needs to be said and fans get
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: to hear it.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we're just mentioning the Oriols. They're two and
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: a half out of a while card. The Astros are
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: four out, they're thirty three and forty one.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Like that. That's not good. But Hunter Brown is returning tonight.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: From ravel does is returning well other side, you're different team.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: They also have a top five hitteror easy in baseball.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: He might be number won this year for act for
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: players that are playing right now, I mean Judge is
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: hurting not the same, you know, with the injury right now,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: you're not abreas is. He's a monster, ridiculous. He's so
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: fun to watch on ABS too. He is putting up
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: MVP caliber numbers. Yeah, he's got a shot.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: He's a monster. If he stays healthy.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and if he keeps the astros in the mix.
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: We always say if, why is it always if he's
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: because I's not like it's always if. It's always if
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: if if if if if? Because I hope he wins.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: We need more. I hope he wins the MVP because
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: we'll go back and I'm gonna have somebody go back
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: and clip Scott saying he's an MVP. There's no chance
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: he's ever gonna win an MVP. I mean, he's he's
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: a DH. There's no chance he wins an MVP. So
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: he'll be my vindication. Come on, you are don hit
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: fifty six homers with one hundred and thirty four RBIs
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: for your.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Last place, Astros. I hope he does.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: They're not the last place because they have the Angels
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: in their division. Okay, second to last place.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: Good game tonight, watch that one Bramber against Hunter Brown.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Fun show. Thanks Tommy fam great interview.
