Tatis and Raleigh: Time to Panic? · The 3-0 Take

• 0:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take where we talk
• 0:04
  all things Major League Baseball.
• 0:06
  Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
• 0:10
  It all starts right now. Welcome back to the Three O Take
• 0:19
  presented by Chinook Cederys Episode 6 O 8.
• 0:24
  I'll be your host, Kyle Corn. I'm here with my Co host Nate
• 0:26
  Reyes. Nate.
• 0:29
  KCJB how are we? It's been a while.
• 0:34
  Yeah. Too long, we're back.
• 0:39
  We're back. We're talking ball pet peeve
• 0:45
  right off the top here real quick.
• 0:47
  Love it. When the score bug the broadcast
• 0:52
  has features two teams that share share a color in both of
• 1:02
  their respective schemes, but the broadcast chooses to go with
• 1:06
  that color for both teams. Like just go with the secondary
• 1:10
  color for that team. You know, like, is it that hard?
• 1:14
  Are we Which? Are we talking Washington?
• 1:16
  Cincinnati. Yeah, no, that, well, that was
• 1:20
  an example of of, of a team doing or a broadcast doing it
• 1:23
  the right way. They gave the Nationals the Navy
• 1:25
  blue, obviously gave the Reds the red.
• 1:27
  But it made me think of teams as in fact, the Red Sox do that
• 1:31
  where they just put, they'll throw out both Reds under shame.
• 1:33
  They they don't care. They like deal with it.
• 1:35
  A lot of red on tonight's broadcast.
• 1:38
  Hope you like red. If you don't, screw you.
• 1:43
  Yeah. Just a pet peeve.
• 1:44
  If I could. It's a, it's a, it's an
• 1:46
  aesthetic thing. It's a.
• 1:47
  Small little bugaboo. It's just a a really easily
• 1:51
  avoidable thing, you know? Are you?
• 1:55
  Are you? I personally like the logo more
• 1:58
  than the three letter abbreviation.
• 2:04
  Yeah. Yeah, they just slapped the logo
• 2:06
  on there. Yeah, like Padres, Brewers.
• 2:08
  Right now we got Reds, Reds, Nats, which I guess is, I don't
• 2:13
  know, it's it looked like the same bug.
• 2:15
  But yeah, like the logo's a nice touch.
• 2:18
  Yeah, that's Mets. Mets.
• 2:19
  Tigers. Yeah, the Blue Jay Rays 1 I
• 2:25
  don't like, but it's the Blue Jays, so you know, there you go.
• 2:33
  Pirates do the pirates do the three letters on theirs.
• 2:40
  I know because like we, we were just looking at it last night
• 2:44
  when the game started and it says like Col. that has a zero.
• 2:48
  And then So what it looks like is Colopito.
• 2:51
  And so like when we're playing, when we're playing Milwaukee, it
• 2:55
  says Milo, which is our son's name.
• 2:57
  So it's kind of. Sounds like a sounds like an
• 2:59
  alcoholic beverage. Kolopito Yeah, it does.
• 3:04
  Tell me that wouldn't just be flying off the shelves.
• 3:07
  Oh man, they can start. Just imagine we were watching
• 3:11
  that commercial every commercial break on MLB Network.
• 3:14
  Dude, I'm so MLBTV. Oh, that tweet you put out,
• 3:18
  dude, that Google One. I hate that commercial man.
• 3:24
  And it sucks because it's like if you know that when it does
• 3:29
  happen in the game, that's the only commercial you're getting
• 3:32
  for the rest of the game. I don't know why.
• 3:35
  Like you'll get two or three innings of like random stuff and
• 3:38
  then it's just the rest of the game of that Google sound.
• 3:41
  It's not even that for me. It's the fact that and somebody,
• 3:44
  somebody pointed it out. They said, you know, when you're
• 3:47
  getting that commercial that you're getting double time,
• 3:49
  you're, you're, they're running it back and I'm just like.
• 3:52
  More than I mean, they're. The guy, the sound effect guy, I
• 3:57
  think just discovered what a wood bat sounds like like
• 4:00
  yesterday. And guy just can't get enough of
• 4:03
  it. He's like, oh, wooden bat drop,
• 4:04
  wooden bat drop. Yeah, it's terrible.
• 4:07
  But anyway, we're we're generally positive people,
• 4:11
  General Lee, General Lee, positive people.
• 4:15
  Let's talk, let's talk Rafael Devers right off the top here.
• 4:20
  Giants reportedly, according to Bob Nightingale of USA TODAY.
• 4:26
  What are we doing? Force it?
• 4:29
  No, I kind of believe it, honestly.
• 4:30
  Like you, you got to pick and choose your battles with Bob.
• 4:33
  I kind of believe that the Giants are having buyer's
• 4:37
  remorse with the Rafael Devers situation, which makes sense and
• 4:44
  doesn't make sense. At the same time, I feel like
• 4:46
  you just got to know that with this guy's track record with his
• 4:49
  career that you'd know he's eventually going to heat up and
• 4:51
  he he has started to heat up if you look at his numbers.
• 4:53
  I trade him for him in fantasy just at the right time.
• 4:56
  But at the same time, I do understand maybe rushing into
• 5:03
  that decision thinking like, oh, we can get a star player, but
• 5:06
  maybe failing to really take into account we'd and I'd I
• 5:10
  brought up this point when the trade happened, is that his game
• 5:14
  doesn't play in San Francisco. I mean, nobody's game really
• 5:18
  plays in San Francisco, but particularly his.
• 5:21
  And you're seeing the lack of, you know, explosiveness at the
• 5:25
  plate because of that, because he can't, he can't lean into the
• 5:29
  monster like he usually does. He can't, he can't play to to
• 5:33
  his his sides of the field that he likes to, you know, play on.
• 5:37
  So I, I don't know what, what do we think about this?
• 5:40
  Do we think it, do we think that this is just a, a blip on the
• 5:44
  radar? Do we think that this could turn
• 5:46
  into something more? I don't.
• 5:49
  I wouldn't hit the reset button with him.
• 5:52
  You have other. Value, that's fair.
• 5:54
  There's there are a lot of big money contracts on that.
• 5:56
  Yeah, like there's other pieces that you can, you can move and
• 5:59
  shed and shed some salary and, and, and at least give this a
• 6:06
  little bit of a longer sample size.
• 6:08
  It just, it hasn't been long enough.
• 6:10
  I mean, you're, you're not wrong.
• 6:12
  Like we knew that the second that trade went down, it was
• 6:15
  like you got to expect those offensive numbers to go down,
• 6:19
  especially when he started really tapping into, like you
• 6:22
  said, going the other way up, you know, off the wall.
• 6:25
  Can't do that. San Francisco's massive so and,
• 6:29
  and you're going to spend, you know, half your season in kind
• 6:32
  of miserable weather anyway, right?
• 6:35
  So I, I, I would probably let it ride a little bit longer.
• 6:43
  You know, I'd be quicker to move on from Matt Chapman.
• 6:48
  I think Willy Adamus still holds a lot of value.
• 6:54
  Even, you know, it's, it may be like a sell low situation, but I
• 6:59
  think some of those names I would move on 1st.
• 7:02
  I mean, you saw a move that I know it's not like a super
• 7:05
  noteworthy move, but they moved on from Patrick Bailey.
• 7:08
  And like, you know, you maybe there's this, maybe there's this
• 7:15
  notion that they can find a way to adjust mid season without
• 7:20
  blowing it up entirely. And I feel like Devers moving
• 7:23
  would be a massive blow up. Matt Chapman, four more years on
• 7:29
  his deal, 25,000,000 apiece after this, after this year,
• 7:34
  Willie Adamus, 5 more years at 31.
• 7:38
  Devers seven more years at 33 and then eventually flips to 31.
• 7:45
  I, I don't know what you think you're going to get for him.
• 7:48
  You, you're just, it's a salary dump.
• 7:51
  And I, I just don't know that. I don't know that any of those
• 7:56
  guys are really washed. I mean, Adamus just last year
• 8:02
  hit 30 homers in San Francisco. First one to do it since bonds,
• 8:07
  yeah. 3.7 war and and Chapman last year 21 but it's still, I
• 8:16
  mean the defense. So 4.1 as far as baseball
• 8:19
  reference war goes. I mean like, they're still good
• 8:24
  players. They're not Chapman's 33 right
• 8:27
  now, but Devers and Adamus are 29 and 30.
• 8:30
  It's not like they're old. I mean, they still got years
• 8:33
  left in them. I, I don't know, I maybe
• 8:38
  Chapman, because of the defense probably and has the shortest
• 8:41
  amount of money and the smallest amount of money owed that maybe
• 8:45
  he's the only guy that you could legitimately trade and have it
• 8:49
  actually get you anything in return at all.
• 8:53
  I mean, I'm not saying I would do this.
• 8:55
  I'm not even saying it's a good idea, but in is there any world
• 9:01
  that they do move on from Chapman and they slide Devers
• 9:04
  back to 3rd? I know it's obviously a
• 9:09
  downgrade defensively, but like, is there any world where that
• 9:13
  happens? Say move on from and why not?
• 9:17
  I mean. Yeah, like it, this is a
• 9:22
  conversation we had when he was still a Red Sox.
• 9:24
  Like, you know, the the full time DH thing isn't for
• 9:27
  everybody. You can't, you know, there's a
• 9:29
  lot of people mentally that can't just sit in the dugout,
• 9:32
  you know, and and take so much time off to tap back in for ABS.
• 9:38
  He has looked good at first, but I think it's it's been it's been
• 9:43
  pretty decent. But like, I don't know, I mean,
• 9:50
  that team's just like it's very underperforming.
• 9:53
  Robbie Ray. What does that contract look
• 9:55
  like? When you're talking, when you're
• 9:58
  talking downgrade, I mean we it was well documented when that
• 10:02
  trade went down. Statistically, I want to say the
• 10:05
  worst from the time of his call up to the time of the trade.
• 10:09
  Statistically the worst defensive third baseman in
• 10:12
  baseball. Yeah, but you also have Ron
• 10:18
  Washington there who has seemingly completely turned
• 10:22
  Louis Arise around defensively completely.
• 10:26
  This is it for Robbie Ray. Like Louis Arise is now I
• 10:31
  correct me if I'm wrong, I don't I maybe it's too short of a
• 10:33
  season to know, but like, he's looked really good that second
• 10:40
  and that's all wash. Yeah, did I?
• 10:41
  Did I see him on some like outs above average leaderboards
• 10:45
  recently where I'm like what is he doing?
• 10:47
  There it's Ron Washington, man, like that's that's. 4 defensive
• 10:51
  runs saved already. Yeah.
• 10:53
  Or maybe that's what I was thinking.
• 10:54
  Like so if you're saying I I just, I don't see the point of
• 11:01
  him being the first one to move if you want to adjust things.
• 11:05
  Devers -3 by the way. Love that I think the wash
• 11:11
  effect gets him to the league average.
• 11:13
  I think it gets, you know, yeah, Willy, Willy, you could you
• 11:20
  could probably get some pieces for for sure.
• 11:22
  I don't know if it's it'd be time to move on from that, but.
• 11:26
  Not with that money though. That's the whole thing.
• 11:29
  Like you're going to have to eat money.
• 11:31
  And I think if that's what you're trying to do, yeah, or
• 11:33
  you're not getting anything. So it really depends on where
• 11:36
  you're sitting. If this is a money move, then
• 11:39
  you're just not getting anything.
• 11:40
  You're going to have to figure out something else.
• 11:42
  But if it's not a money move and you're just trying to stockpile
• 11:47
  like young players or or something trying to re rebrand,
• 11:51
  whatever you're trying to do it, it's you're going to have to eat
• 11:55
  a lot of that money in order to to to get something in return.
• 11:59
  How do we feel about how do we feel about Devers in Atlanta?
• 12:09
  They're scoring more runs than anybody else.
• 12:11
  What are they? Why?
• 12:12
  Why would they? Why would they take on that
• 12:15
  money for somebody who's not performing right now?
• 12:19
  Well, the assumption is that they wouldn't be taking on the
• 12:24
  entirety of the money. See, I Atlanta came to mind for
• 12:32
  me, more so towards Willie. I that was my, that was my
• 12:39
  landing spot for him when when he was on the trade market.
• 12:43
  Yeah, what? Two years.
• 12:44
  Ago. Feel like that would probably
• 12:46
  make a little bit more sense. Yeah, that's a good call.
• 12:48
  Send Kim back in that deal. Why?
• 12:53
  Why do we not like Devers to the Braves though?
• 12:57
  I'm not saying I dislike it. I.
• 13:00
  The Braves were kind of leery of, of go and any further in
• 13:04
  like on in the offseason, spending any more money.
• 13:07
  They were kind of saying what I think this is where we are.
• 13:10
  And so I, I don't see them taking on that much money.
• 13:14
  They're going to have to take on a significant amount of even
• 13:17
  even if it's half the contract, that's a lot of money.
• 13:20
  That's, that's, you know, 15,000,000 for the next seven
• 13:23
  years. No, I get it.
• 13:24
  I'm just, I'm looking at it from the point of view of like this
• 13:27
  is the this would be their chance to get a major run
• 13:30
  producer, major run producer, major run producer.
• 13:34
  That's it. I haven't dropped a major on
• 13:36
  here. That's a good one.
• 13:38
  Major run producer at a discount in a year where they're taking
• 13:45
  the league by storm. Like, why not?
• 13:47
  Why not, you know, step on the rest of the league's throat, you
• 13:51
  know? I think if, I think if it's, if
• 13:53
  they're going to do that, though, don't you think they
• 13:55
  would try to do, they would try to go after somebody with lower,
• 14:01
  with a, a shorter term, you know what I mean?
• 14:05
  I, I would think just because of the money, like yes, to push
• 14:09
  this year, but I, I could get a guy who's a free agent at the
• 14:12
  end of the year and, and possibly make that run and then,
• 14:18
  you know, they've can figure that the rest of that out later,
• 14:21
  but. I also threw the I threw the
• 14:23
  Padres out as an option. I don't hate that either.
• 14:30
  Get back with his guy. Bogey, Big Brother Bogey.
• 14:37
  Actually, I like that fit way more than Atlanta.
• 14:41
  I'm not. Going to lie, Andy Harr right
• 14:44
  now is listed as their DH but that's against righties.
• 14:48
  Yeah, we're talking about a team that is not afraid to bring on
• 14:51
  money. Yeah, right.
• 14:53
  Also valid. Oh, Gavin Sheets playing first
• 14:55
  base form Thai France probably a little bit.
• 14:57
  So, yeah, I mean you certainly have a spot.
• 15:03
  How do you feel about, how do you feel about trading within
• 15:05
  the division in that in that sense?
• 15:07
  That's a team by team approach. I feel like certain teams are OK
• 15:11
  with it, other teams absolutely not.
• 15:13
  I I'm drawing a major blank. Major blank.
• 15:16
  Major Blank, who's 2:00 and 1:00?
• 15:21
  Yeah, that's crazy. Who's that happens?
• 15:25
  I get fixated on a word and then I just, you know, I just start
• 15:27
  lumping in and without we've noticed, we've noticed
• 15:29
  situations that don't even make sense.
• 15:33
  Who's playing third in San Diego right now?
• 15:36
  It's a stupid question, I know, but I'm.
• 15:37
  I'm Manny Ranchata. You said Gavin cheats and I was
• 15:43
  like, yeah, well, you wouldn't move him, but maybe you could
• 15:46
  slide a minute 3rd. I'm like, no, they got a, they
• 15:48
  got a cornerstone. Guy over there the all time
• 15:51
  franchise leader in home runs. I'm going to need you to clip
• 15:54
  that just so I can see all the comments of make make podcast
• 15:59
  equipment more expensive. What did I say?
• 16:04
  What did I say before I said? It's a stupid question.
• 16:07
  Hey look man, I've I've been my brains been going in 1000
• 16:11
  places. At once.
• 16:15
  Whereas Michael Scott says my brains going a mile an hour.
• 16:18
  So, you know, sorry, I, I was just, I was thinking devours.
• 16:25
  I wasn't thinking franchise cornerstones.
• 16:28
  That's why I said just a stupid question.
• 16:30
  Anyway, we love Manny Machado on this show.
• 16:38
  OK, moving on, Tempeh Rays, we just talked about the Braves
• 16:45
  A-Team that's on a heater right now has been on one.
• 16:50
  Rays also on a heater. Gavin Sheets tater, by the way,
• 16:55
  as we were just talking. Right as we were talking about
• 16:57
  him. Yeah, three run shot in the top
• 16:59
  of the ninth. Take the lead Tampa Bay Rays
• 17:05
  Rabbit Tay Bays. Throwback only the real ones
• 17:09
  now. Yeah.
• 17:13
  Is this? Is this for real?
• 17:20
  Kind of seems like it, don't it? This is what they do, man.
• 17:26
  No, but this is different though I it was what was it for their
• 17:35
  for this 40 they. Just got walked off by a
• 17:38
  Dartinville dart. Dart Show.
• 17:41
  Grand Slam. That's a great.
• 17:43
  Yeah, walk off, Granny. Wow.
• 17:53
  That's probably what it sounds like in Rogers Center right now.
• 17:55
  Oh yeah, it. Does that's tough?
• 18:01
  Yeah, dude, I, I mean, this is just, this is what they do.
• 18:05
  No, but what I was going to say is I that's where I maybe
• 18:07
  disagree because I've got a note here. 3rd best 40 game start in
• 18:17
  franchise history. They started the year 27 and 13.
• 18:30
  So now you're saying this isn't what they do.
• 18:32
  What are you saying? Yeah, yeah.
• 18:35
  You're saying it's much better than what they do?
• 18:38
  Well, according to franchise history, yeah.
• 18:42
  I mean, I, I don't know. I don't me personally, I don't
• 18:48
  get super wrapped up in these, these ridiculous stretches.
• 18:54
  I think it happens just because it's baseball.
• 18:58
  Like, you know, the stretch that the Cubs just went through this,
• 19:02
  this start that the Braves are going through at the moment.
• 19:05
  Like I think things will even out a little bit as it pertains
• 19:14
  to the Rays. But they're always going to be a
• 19:18
  pain. They're always going to be in
• 19:20
  the mix. This is just what they are.
• 19:21
  This is what they do. Rhonda is legit.
• 19:26
  Yandi's been Yandi shout out what's his face?
• 19:34
  Chandler Simpson for like changing his game.
• 19:38
  You know what I mean? Like really, how rare is it?
• 19:42
  You know, we we saw it like David Hamilton back in the day
• 19:45
  where it was like, OK, you have elite of elite speed.
• 19:49
  You just can't seem to have the right approach at the plate.
• 19:52
  Not Chandler Simpson completely changed everything and has fully
• 19:59
  turned into what he needs to be to be productive.
• 20:04
  Pretty sure he's like top three in the league and and hits the
• 20:08
  guys just doing exactly what he needs to do.
• 20:10
  So I it's this is par for the course man.
• 20:14
  They they develop well, they they get guys to buy in and they
• 20:20
  come up short at the end of the year.
• 20:24
  It's always, it's always a where did they get this guy situation.
• 20:29
  The guy that comes to mind, Brian Baker, who has now taken
• 20:32
  over the closer role for them with Griffin.
• 20:34
  Griffin Jax is now a starter. Right.
• 20:38
  Well, an opener, right? Well, they're stretching him out
• 20:41
  to start, yeah. He went five innings tonight.
• 20:44
  Yeah, I did not see that. I thought they were just they
• 20:47
  were slotting him in as an opener.
• 20:49
  Which is all the Rays starters go, Yeah.
• 20:52
  Yeah, I know. But like, Mcclanahan looks like
• 20:55
  he's back. You know, like the they, they
• 20:58
  just, they know stuff that no one else knows and they're just
• 21:03
  pesky. The Rays get the best out of
• 21:06
  guys in whatever situation they put him in.
• 21:12
  Yeah, Nick Martinez has been fantastic.
• 21:18
  Yeah. So the Rays have only lost five
• 21:20
  series. There you go.
• 21:23
  Well done. Thank you.
• 21:24
  Proud of you. Coincidentally, the five they've
• 21:29
  played against the NL Central, Everyone else they've beat until
• 21:35
  this loss. Tonight against Toronto they
• 21:36
  were five and O against Toronto, 3 and O against the Yankees, two
• 21:40
  and one against Boston. And they haven't played
• 21:45
  Baltimore yet. So like they're taking care of
• 21:48
  their Division 2. Yeah, they have the 4th
• 21:54
  strongest schedule according to ESPN, so.
• 22:02
  Bobby. Yeah, they are 9 and one in one
• 22:08
  run games. That's what I'm saying is that I
• 22:12
  think things will start to bounce out eventually.
• 22:14
  This is obviously a really good start, a really good stretch.
• 22:17
  I I'm not ready to throw in the towel for teams that have
• 22:21
  started out rough, and I'm not ready to award trophies to teams
• 22:27
  that have started off hot. No, but but the the the factor
• 22:32
  here is the league in which they play in.
• 22:34
  And I know we've talked about this multiple times.
• 22:36
  That's super. Valid point.
• 22:38
  Nothing. I mean somebody fact checked me.
• 22:41
  I haven't looked at the overall league standing trend over the
• 22:45
  last week, but I would venture to say not much has changed with
• 22:48
  the overall direction of the American League.
• 22:52
  So if this is just kind of what the American League is going to
• 22:56
  be this year, I don't, I think maybe you, you do have to put a
• 23:03
  little more stock into a team that that has a run or, or
• 23:07
  multiple runs, as we've seen with a team like the Cubs, who
• 23:09
  obviously nationally, but as an example, like it may not, it may
• 23:15
  not take as much as you would traditionally need to to get the
• 23:19
  job done in the AL this year. So I don't know, just keep an
• 23:22
  eye on the Rays. That's that's all I'll say.
• 23:25
  Yeah, the Rays and the Yankees right now are essentially looks
• 23:30
  like the Rays have that division.
• 23:31
  The the Yankees are right there and even the Yankees are 5 1/2
• 23:35
  games up in that first wild card spot.
• 23:37
  So the Rays are obviously more than that.
• 23:40
  It's, I mean, the number two wild card team is under 500 and
• 23:45
  that's the Mariners. Look.
• 23:48
  Literally anything can happen. I mean, you're looking at the
• 23:51
  very bottom team, the the LA Angels are only 5 1/2 out.
• 23:56
  The Angels have a chance of making the postseason still.
• 24:00
  I mean, we're not looking at their roster, but just based on
• 24:02
  games, you can still, you can still cover that.
• 24:05
  They're also, like the you said, they are the worst team in the
• 24:09
  American League. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:11
  Which unless. Unless the Astros are losing,
• 24:15
  then they'll be right with them. Kudos to me for that pick for
• 24:19
  our worst teams draft at the beginning of the season.
• 24:22
  Did you get them? Yeah, I got them.
• 24:25
  I got them in the Nationals. Looking good, man.
• 24:31
  Kind of. That's need to stop being so
• 24:33
  scrappy. But yeah, looking good.
• 24:36
  You mentioned the Mariners. Let's talk.
• 24:38
  Let's talk Mariners, specifically Cal Raleigh
• 24:41
  specifically snapping the O for 38 skid, specifically due in
• 24:49
  part to the full uni shower. Mm hmm.
• 24:55
  I'll be the first, I'll be the first to say, OK, I'll be the
• 24:57
  second to say that I love that. Jamie, you should have heard
• 25:04
  what this guy said in the change up episode.
• 25:07
  Don't. Say it, don't say it.
• 25:09
  Worst one yet? Yeah, it was.
• 25:11
  It was not a good one. Way worse than that.
• 25:15
  Worse than what? That wasn't even an innuendo.
• 25:19
  Well, just the fact that you love a guy in the shower.
• 25:23
  Oh, but I. He said it first, if you'd
• 25:26
  listen. I did say that first.
• 25:29
  That was the whole the whole reason we just had that.
• 25:32
  I cut him off. I was trying to say something
• 25:34
  underneath. I didn't realize he was going to
• 25:36
  come in with the same thing. That's my bad.
• 25:39
  But yeah, I do love that. That's that's the kind of
• 25:41
  baseball stuff I love. Yeah.
• 25:43
  Superstition stuff. And you know I love it.
• 25:47
  Try something out. There is, there is.
• 25:49
  Something mentally freeing about like, you know, what is it?
• 25:54
  Is it stupid that I'm getting in the shower with my full uniform
• 25:57
  on? Absolutely.
• 25:59
  But like mentally it's crazy, dude.
• 26:03
  Like when you're, when you're struggling that bad in this
• 26:06
  game, if you can just even just like psych yourself into
• 26:13
  thinking like, OK, the outcome of tonight's game is on the
• 26:17
  shower in the clubhouse. Like, it's up to the shower to
• 26:21
  fix, fix my performance at the plate.
• 26:24
  And it's like at that point you, you know, muscle memory kicks in
• 26:28
  and you don't, you're not in your head as much.
• 26:30
  You're just like, hey, it's on the shower now.
• 26:33
  And the shower came through. So honestly, yeah, like Nate
• 26:38
  said, let's get weird. And it it works out sometimes.
• 26:41
  You have to find something to blame it on, right?
• 26:43
  What what Yogi say? I never blame myself when I'm in
• 26:45
  a slump. I blame I blame my bat.
• 26:47
  And if it keeps it up, I'll switch bats right.
• 26:50
  And so it's the same thing like you have to do something mental.
• 26:53
  I washed all that out. I wonder how many requests the
• 26:56
  the the club he's get like saying I want a whole new
• 26:59
  uniform. Get this one out.
• 27:00
  Give me a brand new. Yeah, respect.
• 27:05
  It has to get weird in those clubhouses, man, 162 games, like
• 27:10
  there's stuff that you we would never even hear about that you
• 27:14
  just have to assume is is going on like you guys are trying all
• 27:17
  sorts of weird things. It's it's.
• 27:22
  What you got to do sometimes? It's a it's a crazy sport, but.
• 27:25
  It was a long stretch though over 38 is a long time.
• 27:29
  What was What was Chris Davis's again?
• 27:32
  Oh, for like 5056. 54 sounds right.
• 27:38
  I don't remember. It's one of those two.
• 27:42
  I think 56 or 54. Yeah, shout out, Jake. 62.
• 27:53
  What? Whoa, shout out Jake for calling
• 27:57
  this in our in our fantasy draft this year.
• 28:00
  He was like, I think he has a down year this year.
• 28:03
  I I'm not high on him. Don't know why I can't explain
• 28:06
  it, but it's going to happen. I mean this like the fall off to
• 28:10
  this level, I don't think many people could have seen coming,
• 28:13
  but the the regression was the could not have been more
• 28:17
  obvious. There's no way he comes back
• 28:20
  after last year and puts up even 90% of that.
• 28:23
  There's there was no way. I'm going to I'm going to say
• 28:27
  something that is going to sound like an annoying Yankee fan, and
• 28:32
  I understand, OK? There are parts of me that are
• 28:43
  glad that he didn't beat the AL Home run record because of the
• 28:50
  fact that it's like, we don't know if he's going to end up
• 28:55
  being a legendary name, you know?
• 28:59
  Yeah, that's a. That's a like I I like, I don't
• 29:02
  love the idea of something of that level of a stat and
• 29:07
  milestone and record being held by someone who.
• 29:12
  It's. Like maybe kind of a dud at the
• 29:14
  end, you know? It's like if Marco Scudero ended
• 29:19
  up beating out Joe D's hit streak.
• 29:22
  Yeah, It's like, come on. No disrespect to Marcos
• 29:26
  Coutereau, but like, come on. You know, like, it's, it's.
• 29:29
  Yeah, no, I get it. I mean, it's like it is it's
• 29:32
  baseball. So like obviously like it's it's
• 29:35
  going to happen at some point. I'm sure it's probably going to
• 29:38
  be weird. We don't know how legendary the
• 29:40
  name is going to be, but like, I, I don't know.
• 29:43
  I, I like the fact that it like all the ties of like the Judge
• 29:47
  and Maris thing. And I, I just, to me, I think
• 29:51
  that part is really cool. I'd like to see that ride a
• 29:53
  little bit longer. And I, I, I personally was happy
• 29:59
  that he didn't break the record for the AL last year.
• 30:04
  Felt pretty Brady Anderson of him.
• 30:07
  Sure. What did Brady do?
• 30:09
  50 homers in one year. He only got to 20 in one other
• 30:13
  season. Yeah, but I don't know, maybe
• 30:16
  it's just because I grew up going to those Orioles games.
• 30:19
  I just feel like Brady Anderson was more of a household name,
• 30:21
  but maybe not. I don't take that back.
• 30:23
  I just pulled it up. He had 21 one year and 24
• 30:26
  another year. More of a household name than
• 30:28
  Cal Raleigh. Well, he was a good player, he
• 30:32
  just wasn't. A50 Homer guy.
• 30:34
  Sorry, I was, I was looking, I was talking about it through the
• 30:37
  lens of like, yeah, like comparing it to like a Marcos
• 30:40
  Kudrow. It's.
• 30:41
  Like, Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, Brady Anderson, look
• 30:44
  at this like. I, I just, I just meant the, the
• 30:47
  one year of power, like, you know, Cal Raleigh hit what, 2731
• 30:52
  and 32 in the three years before that, 2730 and 34 in the three
• 31:02
  years before that. He still has that for the
• 31:06
  season. You know what I'm saying?
• 31:07
  Like. He's even just he's.
• 31:08
  Going to go back to what Cal Raleigh probably is, which is
• 31:12
  still a really good player. I mean, just 60 is just a huge
• 31:18
  number and. Yeah.
• 31:20
  Going back to your point though, sort sort of on a related note,
• 31:23
  I, I and I, I was only thinking about this because I saw his
• 31:26
  name the other day. But it makes it makes me think
• 31:28
  of when you, when you see the list of guys who have thrown
• 31:31
  like no hitters in perfect games, you're like, yeah.
• 31:34
  Who? Yeah, here I'll do, I'll do a an
• 31:37
  anti Yankee thing like Domingo Herman.
• 31:39
  Having a perfect game to me feels super dirty and
• 31:43
  ridiculous. I don't.
• 31:44
  Like it, no disrespects and I apologize if maybe I'm just not
• 31:49
  familiar with his game, but like Phillip Humber throwing a
• 31:52
  perfect game in 2012? What?
• 31:57
  Old Phil Humber, Yeah. You know, and then that and
• 32:01
  that's a perfect game, but like you go, you look back at like
• 32:03
  some of the no hitters and you're just like Bud Smith.
• 32:07
  Yeah, that's, I mean, that's all Like it's going.
• 32:10
  I think I get what you're saying, but it's the same.
• 32:13
  I like I think this is even bigger.
• 32:15
  You know what I mean? This is like the AL home run
• 32:17
  record to me for sure for lasting so long and like, I
• 32:21
  don't know, I just I I would hate to see a record go and be
• 32:25
  held by a flash in the pan season.
• 32:29
  You know, I think what's that's what's cool about some of these
• 32:31
  and I think baseball kind of works its itself out in that
• 32:34
  way. Homer Bailey having the.
• 32:40
  The the only difference I would call out on that is that, yeah,
• 32:44
  the what's that? Who?
• 32:46
  Homer, I said. Shout out to Homer Bailey for
• 32:48
  having back-to-back no hitters. He threw one in 2012.
• 32:51
  There wasn't one until he threw another one in 2013.
• 32:54
  Right. Yep.
• 32:55
  I was going to bring him up too. And, and, and so it's part of my
• 32:58
  point there is the difference between the two is what Cal
• 33:01
  really did. He did for an entire season, but
• 33:04
  anyone, any specifically any pitcher, any pitcher that makes
• 33:08
  it to the, to the major leagues, he has that in the tank.
• 33:12
  Every single one of them. You know what I'm saying?
• 33:14
  And so like when you, when you think of like a, even a perfect
• 33:17
  game, I mean, 'cause I don't care who you are, like, I don't
• 33:21
  care if you're Nolan Ryan, you're going to rely a little
• 33:23
  bit on luck to do that too. Yeah.
• 33:25
  For sure. So I, I think that's different.
• 33:27
  What what's that? What?
• 33:33
  Yeah. So anyway, it's to me that's a
• 33:37
  little different because he did that for a full season.
• 33:40
  Yeah, yeah, I get it. Trying to find.
• 33:51
  Career average of 222. Like he can get back to that.
• 33:55
  Yeah, on the picture thing, it, it reminds me when we talked to,
• 33:59
  talked to our guy Dallas Braden on here and I remember asking
• 34:03
  him like, are you like, how do you feel?
• 34:05
  Like, are you OK with having sort of your career defined by
• 34:09
  like 1 good day at the park? And he was like, how could I
• 34:12
  not? I mean, I don't remember exactly
• 34:13
  what he said verbatim, but it was basically just like, how
• 34:16
  could I not be OK with that? Like, yeah, that's baseball.
• 34:20
  Like you, you know, you just go out there, you have a great day
• 34:23
  and things just work in your favor.
• 34:25
  And that's that's kind of the kind of the same thing.
• 34:27
  But yeah, it's like you're like we've been sort of dancing
• 34:30
  around. It's it's a it's a funny sport,
• 34:34
  man. And and you will over the course
• 34:36
  of 162 games a year, year after year after year, you're going to
• 34:40
  have just names pop up. And I'm not saying Cal Raleigh's
• 34:43
  some No Name, but you, you're just going to have, you know,
• 34:46
  different guys holding different records and sometimes they get
• 34:49
  close, sometimes they don't. I think even on the opposite of
• 34:52
  that, sometimes I, I sometimes I would root for him to get the
• 34:57
  MVP, knowing he may never get that chance again.
• 35:01
  Sure. So I kind of want that, you know
• 35:03
  what I mean? For him and it's like.
• 35:05
  You know. Oh, it's him or Judge.
• 35:06
  Well, Judge has a few. Let's.
• 35:08
  Yeah, get that argument. Ultimately, Judge had the
• 35:11
  numbers he had and and I don't think that he right it
• 35:15
  wrongfully. Got it.
• 35:16
  I'm just saying sometimes it's like, oh, let's get another name
• 35:19
  in there who probably won't repeat this.
• 35:23
  Sounds like. Sounds like JB is just saying he
• 35:26
  hates Aaron Judge. Honestly.
• 35:31
  Another name. Maybe a little concern
• 35:34
  surrounding Fernando Tati's junior.
• 35:37
  It is May 13th, 10:24 PM Eastern Time, Eastern Standard Time, and
• 35:48
  he has yet to hit a Homer. Are we?
• 35:52
  Are we worried? No, no, I don't think so.
• 36:02
  I'm the hard hit rate still there.
• 36:08
  Isn't it like he's still barreling balls?
• 36:11
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, he he's fine and red for sure.
• 36:14
  And he's he's still getting on base.
• 36:17
  But I mean it like, I get I get the on base argument because I
• 36:24
  know what I know that's probably where JB is going to go with it.
• 36:26
  And I know that that's about there's value there.
• 36:29
  But that argument more so applies to a guy like Luis
• 36:34
  Arise. Like, OK, yeah, great.
• 36:36
  He's getting on base. That's what he's supposed to do.
• 36:37
  We're talking about Fernando Tatis Junior.
• 36:40
  There's a guy that's supposed to have pop who has shown that he's
• 36:42
  had pop and has gotten popped. If you will.
• 36:48
  But it's like I said, I mean, it's the middle of May and you
• 36:54
  know, but people were people were.
• 36:57
  I was going back and forth to people on the whole Jazz
• 36:59
  Chisholm quote about the 5050 year, and he got one, I think.
• 37:03
  What was it like at the end of April?
• 37:06
  And people are like, see, see, he's fine.
• 37:08
  I'm like a whole month is gone by.
• 37:12
  A month plus has gone by. So it's like, even if even if
• 37:15
  Tatis had like a multi Homer game tonight or, or tomorrow or
• 37:19
  whatever the next game is, it's like, OK, he's heating up.
• 37:23
  But when you look back on it at the end of the year, like what
• 37:26
  are those numbers going to look like?
• 37:27
  And I just don't know that it's it's this is going to be one of
• 37:30
  his better years. And and maybe he just goes on an
• 37:32
  absolute tear. That's that's certainly within
• 37:36
  the realm of possibility. But if we start getting closer
• 37:41
  to the end of May, talking 2 plus months without a Homer.
• 37:46
  I mean, I will say it's a tough look when you take the league by
• 37:51
  storm with 969 OPS, 937 OPS, 975 OPS with 42 home runs and then
• 38:05
  you get popped. Yep.
• 38:07
  And then your OPS doesn't sniff the nines again.
• 38:11
  Listen, I. 3 1/2 years. I don't know what side of the
• 38:15
  fence you're on, but it has to be part of the conversation.
• 38:19
  Yeah. Like your your home run
• 38:22
  percentage 5.96.67.7 and then afterwards 394836 and obviously
• 38:31
  zero this year but. But can we revisit that?
• 38:34
  What was what was that proven to be, though?
• 38:37
  Wasn't it just like a? Wasn't it just like because it?
• 38:40
  Was a ringworm cream or something?
• 38:42
  Yeah. Like, how so?
• 38:44
  Can we really attribute to that? Like, yeah, well, is it funny?
• 38:47
  Like, are are Dodgers fans, for example, just having a field day
• 38:50
  with the fact he got busted? Sure.
• 38:52
  But like this, we're not talking traditional PEDs here, correct?
• 38:58
  We don't know. Yeah, that's.
• 38:59
  The thing is, you don't know. You don't know what what you
• 39:02
  flagged, what doesn't like what shows up on the you know, the
• 39:05
  blip on the radar and what doesn't.
• 39:07
  Right. You don't know what else was
• 39:08
  alongside that is what some of the arguments can be is that if
• 39:13
  you have something that could be this strong and you could mask
• 39:16
  something that you're really doing with this.
• 39:19
  I mean, I'm not saying it is. And I like I'm clear, like I
• 39:22
  want to be clear about the fact that like I'm not saying he's
• 39:25
  probably just taking straight UPS steroids and masking with
• 39:29
  this. I'm just saying like it, it's
• 39:32
  part of the conversation and and there is a question there.
• 39:36
  I I don't I don't it's the benefit of the doubt for me.
• 39:39
  But I mean, it's been 2521 and 25 homers.
• 39:42
  And I think it's also the part of the conversation that, like,
• 39:45
  he, you moved them off a shortstop and you kind of like
• 39:50
  took some superpowers away. And I know he just won a
• 39:53
  Platinum glove and right, And he's been great defensively,
• 39:56
  obviously the better position for him.
• 39:59
  But when you're talking about a guy who's like, on top of the
• 40:02
  world. It is an aura thing for sure,
• 40:04
  like moving from short to right, yeah.
• 40:06
  Yeah, Like, no doubt I no disrespect, JV, but like there's
• 40:12
  something about being a shortstop that like the mindset
• 40:16
  is nice, you know what I mean? Like you kind of, you kind of
• 40:19
  carry that with you anywhere and everywhere you go.
• 40:23
  And I didn't even come close to sniffing the success that he had
• 40:25
  it short. Like it's just, I can't even
• 40:28
  imagine what that would be like to almost be embarrassed to be
• 40:33
  moved off of that position after just ripping off the starting
• 40:38
  line and having the start of the career that he did.
• 40:42
  So like you said, I think it docked the aura a little bit and
• 40:44
  like then getting popped. I don't, I don't think we can
• 40:48
  sit here and just say like, oh, your power is totally gone
• 40:50
  because you're not taking steroids anymore if you were
• 40:53
  taking them. I think it's, I think it's just
• 40:56
  a combination of a bad cocktail. I don't think I realized that.
• 41:01
  And maybe I'm just naive. I, I don't, I didn't think I
• 41:04
  realized that the masking conversation was part of the the
• 41:08
  overall conversation. I just thought the two sides to
• 41:11
  that whole scenario were the people that realized that it was
• 41:16
  just a cream, but that it was still funny and they were going
• 41:19
  to lump Tatis in with all these other like freaking meatheads
• 41:24
  being like, oh, this guy's XPDS. But then I thought there was on
• 41:28
  the other side of it, there was people who were just ignorant
• 41:35
  and and lumped and did want to lump him in.
• 41:38
  They're like, oh, this guy, this guy like is just using out like
• 41:42
  you were saying, JB, like just outright using traditional
• 41:46
  steroids. I didn't realize there was like
• 41:48
  a a factor to that conversation where there was a possibility
• 41:51
  like, oh, maybe he was masking. Who knows?
• 41:53
  That's why people don't fully understand steroids.
• 41:56
  You know what I mean? Like there's a difference
• 41:58
  between the HGH that we watched in our childhood of like,
• 42:03
  literally your feet and your head are growing because you're
• 42:06
  now suddenly growing in your 30s.
• 42:11
  And like, you know, probably certain things that are banned
• 42:15
  for recovery, right? Like maybe he's taking stuff
• 42:18
  that's like helping with muscle recovery and that's going to
• 42:24
  show up. And I think the steroids are
• 42:28
  like, it's you got to still put it to use, you know what I mean?
• 42:31
  Like, it's not like it's not like what we saw on Space Jam
• 42:36
  where you can just like it immediately steps in and like
• 42:39
  you're a better baseball player, right?
• 42:41
  Like you, you have to get in the gym.
• 42:43
  But it's more so about like, OK, it's just helping you recover
• 42:46
  faster so you can get in the gym again and recover gym, recover
• 42:50
  gym. And you're not ever having that
• 42:52
  like, yeah, downtime. I think that's what most of
• 42:55
  these guys are getting, yeah. I mean, that's what they're
• 42:58
  trying to do, and I know. Like recovery stuff you.
• 43:01
  You probably all like anybody listen to this, has a guy for
• 43:04
  their team that's probably gotten popped and probably has a
• 43:06
  story. Mine goes back to Starling Marte
• 43:08
  and it was he was injured every single year.
• 43:12
  Guy told him this is going to keep you from being injured.
• 43:15
  We're going to do this workout and we're going to take this
• 43:17
  stuff so we can do the workout. And a lot of these guys are only
• 43:20
  taking this stuff in the offseason because they're just
• 43:23
  trying to do it for like exactly what Nate was saying.
• 43:27
  I personally, I mean, I don't know.
• 43:29
  I mean, he's still hitting the ball hard.
• 43:30
  Is he just not lifting it? I I, it's kind of hard to say
• 43:34
  that it's really a a strength thing.
• 43:36
  It's not. He played more games in two
• 43:38
  seasons since then. So it's not like a recovery
• 43:41
  thing. So like I would give him benefit
• 43:44
  of the doubt in this scenario, just making the call of what
• 43:47
  what people are saying. But I mean, it's through and
• 43:50
  through. He's hitting the ball hard and
• 43:52
  we talked about, you know, you mentioned on base and, and like
• 43:55
  Luis Horizon, he's 324 on base. Like 324 on base is good if you
• 44:00
  have power if you're not hitting for any power.
• 44:03
  Needs to. Be in the force, get me around
• 44:04
  3:50, get me above that and do something else.
• 44:07
  I mean, he does have 15 RB is so he's driving the ball in a
• 44:10
  little bit, but 5 double s, like there's no power 2 platinum
• 44:17
  gloves in right field, which the only argument I would make for
• 44:20
  that is the fact, yeah, whatever that is.
• 44:24
  But either way, he's he's like -4 defensive run saved in right
• 44:30
  field. Now he's made errors or or at
• 44:32
  least mistakes. Not, you know, it's harder to
• 44:34
  make an error, but it it's all around.
• 44:36
  He's been caught stealing more than anybody else in the league
• 44:40
  this year, so you know, it's kind of a whole thing that
• 44:43
  matches with you. Talking about a bad look, you
• 44:46
  said earlier Nate, the bad look for Tatis is the fact that Nick
• 44:50
  Casianos used his bat to hit a game time Homer.
• 44:58
  So his bat has has the Homer but he does not.
• 45:02
  That does not get attributed to him.
• 45:05
  Can't use the Yogi quote there. Yeah, exactly.
• 45:08
  So tough look there but and you could.
• 45:12
  Make. You could make the argument one
• 45:14
  one other bad look. He's given up more home runs
• 45:18
  than he has hit home runs. Sure.
• 45:20
  Shout out inside the park Little League home run.
• 45:24
  Do you, do you think they, I mean do you think they move
• 45:28
  them? I'm not saying even this year,
• 45:29
  but like during the contract. That's like 8 years.
• 45:34
  So I mean, it's hard to because of this.
• 45:37
  I, I wouldn't say it would be because of this.
• 45:40
  I do think he'll be OK. Yeah.
• 45:43
  But we've seen this happen before and and guys are not so.
• 45:47
  Well what? What does he make a year 30?
• 45:51
  Right now, 20, that goes to 25 next year for two years and then
• 45:56
  it jumps to 36 for the rest of the contract.
• 45:58
  What was that contract 3:30? That sounds right.
• 46:04
  I don't. Let me.
• 46:05
  So let's bump it up to 36. What's acceptable as far as
• 46:10
  stats go? Like do you what do what do you
• 46:12
  need for your guy to be making 36 mil?
• 46:16
  Me personally, I need I need minimum of 30 bombs a year. 3000
• 46:23
  minimum. Yeah.
• 46:24
  And I need 140 OPS plus minimum. I think that's kind of where I'm
• 46:35
  sitting for 36 a year. It's 3:40 for 14 years for me.
• 46:44
  I just need him to be. I need him to to not be this.
• 46:50
  I need him to be a big name. The month, the amount of money
• 46:53
  that you make, the amount of money that I'm paying you just
• 46:58
  has to equal some something of a amount of money that you're,
• 47:03
  you're bringing back to me, win a World Series and the whole
• 47:08
  thing is paid for. I don't care what you do.
• 47:11
  And that's kind of the idea of that.
• 47:13
  Like money doesn't buy 30 homers, Like 30 homers can come
• 47:17
  from a guy who's making his first year in the in the Show.
• 47:20
  The thing is, is like, I just need to be able, I just need to
• 47:23
  know that I'm going to get my return on my investment here.
• 47:28
  And I, I think I've, I, you'll hear a lot of guys say if we win
• 47:32
  one World Series that covers this, oh, Tawny's contract is
• 47:35
  paid for. It's been.
• 47:37
  Paid for, you know what I mean? He needs to.
• 47:40
  Tatis needs to be marketable like numbers are important, but
• 47:44
  more so for him than other guys around the league.
• 47:48
  He needs to be marketable and and the.
• 47:50
  Check those boxes like he's still a fan favorite.
• 47:52
  He's still, you still go to the ballpark to watch him.
• 47:55
  For sure. But when is we just talked about
• 47:58
  it, when is Tatis like really feeling himself?
• 48:00
  When is he really in his element?
• 48:02
  Like when things are clicking? And I get that that's the case
• 48:04
  for a lot of guys. Like it naturally, like if
• 48:06
  you're succeeding, you're going to be, you're going to be
• 48:09
  looser, you're going to be more yourself.
• 48:11
  But you, you see that shine more with Tatis than almost anybody
• 48:15
  else in the league. And when, when he's, when he has
• 48:18
  had his power zapped, you going back to like the space jam
• 48:21
  example, it's like you're, we're not talking about the same guy.
• 48:25
  We're we're watching sort of a, a shell of himself.
• 48:28
  And until he gets that power back, which who knows?
• 48:31
  And we're talking about the, the, the drop off, if who knows
• 48:35
  when he gets that back and who knows when we get, you know,
• 48:37
  vintage Tatis again. For any of my mechanical nerds,
• 48:42
  he was also a big leg kick guy back then and he is not anymore.
• 48:47
  It is a toe tap, heel up, heel down type guy.
• 48:52
  So you got to kind of think of that a little bit as well.
• 48:58
  Maybe there is some mechanical adjustment that he wants to get
• 49:01
  back to at that point. But like, yeah, he's that's
• 49:05
  changed a lot too. He kind of seems out of his
• 49:07
  legs, but he's still squaring balls up.
• 49:10
  He's still a premier athlete. You.
• 49:13
  Know, I think it's going to come.
• 49:14
  Even if it's even if it's bad all year, I'm not surprised if
• 49:19
  he comes right back and hits 2530 homers next year.
• 49:23
  Like that's just, that's just the way it is.
• 49:25
  A lot of these guys don't don't change a swing.
• 49:29
  That's an offseason thing to do. So if he made a, if he made a
• 49:32
  tweak to his swing and, and it's and it's causing him less lift,
• 49:38
  he might not, he may not change that.
• 49:41
  He could change different things with his feed, with his setup
• 49:44
  and all that stuff. But they don't.
• 49:46
  A lot of times they don't touch swings because man, you start
• 49:49
  messing with that in season and it could get worse.
• 49:51
  Yeah, you're. Not wrong, but I, I don't know,
• 49:54
  I, he's only 27. I, I think you know, it's, it's
• 50:01
  certainly, certainly something to watch.
• 50:04
  I I tend to think he'd be OK. We've seen this before though.
• 50:08
  Yeah. I'd bet on him.
• 50:12
  I'd bet on him. Like can I say that?
• 50:14
  Yeah, I would too. I'd be thrilled if he was on my
• 50:17
  team. I would be thrilled.
• 50:20
  Well, he was on my team and there was rumor that we'd be
• 50:24
  able to bring him back. But we're broke boys and we're
• 50:28
  behaving like a mid market team, so we didn't bring him back.
• 50:31
  Kyle Schwarber. Kyle Schwaber Coming into
• 50:36
  Wednesday, a Homer in five straight games, including two on
• 50:47
  the May 10th game against the Rockies, leaves all of baseball.
• 50:52
  Well, you may have to double check me on this 'cause this
• 50:54
  was, at the time of that fifth Homer, 17 homers.
• 50:58
  Does that still lead all of baseball?
• 51:01
  JB? Yeah, he's still got 17.
• 51:04
  Didn't hit anything today. Right.
• 51:06
  But where does that stand league wide?
• 51:08
  We still still in the lead for for Schwarbs because it's coming
• 51:11
  into the day, I believe, OK. Coming into today, yeah, I would
• 51:15
  say coming into today, I'll double check that.
• 51:19
  Yeah. So Schwarber back to doing
• 51:22
  Schwarber things. The last the last week coming
• 51:25
  into today, Wednesday, was slugging 1120.
• 51:34
  It's pretty good. It's fairly it's fairly decent.
• 51:40
  Yeah, another guy who's been fairly decent as of late, the
• 51:45
  reigning American League Player of the Week.
• 51:49
  Bobby Witt. Junior, my guy, our guy over the
• 51:55
  last the last week, 3 homers, hitting 417, slugging 833 and
• 52:04
  then I think we just saw tonight, right?
• 52:06
  Hit a hit another one tonight, so you know.
• 52:13
  He's good. He's.
• 52:14
  Good, I mean he's he he could if he wanted to.
• 52:20
  He could just be a staple in the credit cannon segment.
• 52:23
  I can't. I would love to, but he did.
• 52:26
  He really wanted to. He could because he's Bobby
• 52:28
  baseball J. This is honestly, this has been
• 52:33
  my like. It's it's a little biased
• 52:35
  because the names are just pretty pretty star heavy in this
• 52:40
  one, I would say, but just a good collection of names.
• 52:45
  JB, your guy Paul Skeens, the last two, I mean, we on the
• 52:52
  year, he's got an ERA of 198. We know what he's been doing
• 52:55
  this year, but the last two starts alone, just disgusting. 8
• 53:02
  innings. I mean, obviously it's 8
• 53:04
  innings. You're never going to see a nine
• 53:05
  next to Paul Skeens name because the Pirates just don't don't
• 53:10
  know what that is. The last two starts alone, 8
• 53:14
  innings each, two hits allowed in each.
• 53:17
  I mean almost almost identical outings. 8 innings each apiece,
• 53:22
  two hits each. 0 earned runs, zero walks, 7 KS in the May 6th
• 53:27
  start against the the D backs. 10 KS against the Rockies.
• 53:34
  Tuesday, May 12th again. Yeah, against the Rockies.
• 53:37
  Just just otherworldly stuff. What'd you say in the group chat
• 53:42
  the other day, JB? His last walk in like a.
• 53:43
  Walk his last His last walk was in the third inning of his start
• 53:47
  on April 13th. That's so stupid.
• 53:51
  That's. His last walk.
• 53:54
  That's so happening. OK, So remember the opening day,
• 53:58
  you know, where people are going is, is schemes washed.
• 54:01
  Like what's OK It was against the Mets of all teams who, by
• 54:04
  the way are are project. I I think I saw today are the
• 54:07
  only team currently tracking for 100 losses on the year, which is
• 54:11
  just insane. The after since the opening day
• 54:17
  start. He has a one O 9 ERAA .53 whip
• 54:23
  and a 31 strikeout. A 31% strikeout, right?
• 54:31
  I mean, it's. That's ridiculous.
• 54:33
  That's not fun. It's not.
• 54:36
  It's not real. It's not dude, those are video
• 54:38
  game numbers and and I and I've also seen the the narrative
• 54:42
  which call it unfair, call it fair, whatever.
• 54:45
  I I just think it's an interesting talking point is
• 54:48
  that now that Scuba's on the on the shelf, it it like there is,
• 54:55
  there is no question as to who the best pitcher in baseball is
• 54:58
  at this very moment. Yeah, I have you guys seen that
• 55:02
  video that's been going around of him like his hour and a half
• 55:05
  workout routine on bullpen day before he throws a pitch, it's
• 55:11
  like an hour and a half of like stretching everything, all
• 55:16
  different kinds of things. It's nuts.
• 55:18
  It's like a 3 minute video and you just watch his routine.
• 55:24
  It's sick. He takes care of himself.
• 55:27
  So I think that's my favorite part about him by the way.
• 55:32
  So he's not going anywhere like he's not.
• 55:36
  He's going to be durable. And he doesn't have a ton of
• 55:40
  mileage on that. He didn't really start pitching
• 55:43
  all that much until he went to LSU for junior and senior year.
• 55:48
  Also, so all those bozos out there talking about the impact
• 55:52
  of the WBC being like, whoa, look at the names that are
• 55:55
  really scuffling. Well, let's look at the names
• 55:57
  who are. To take care of their body.
• 56:01
  Setting the baseball world on fire like Paul Skean's best
• 56:04
  pitcher in the universe. Nay, the Galaxy.
• 56:08
  We just talked about Bobby Witt. Bobby Witt's doing just fine.
• 56:13
  Bryce Harper got an OPS north of 900.
• 56:15
  Like, we're the guys. The the guys are OK, OK, guys
• 56:20
  are OK. It's 56 strikeouts to seven
• 56:24
  walks. Yeah, that's and how many walks
• 56:28
  do you have in that first start, like 4?
• 56:33
  I feel like, yeah, I feel like. It dude, I, I legitimately what
• 56:36
  you what was that ratio 56 to 756 to seven?
• 56:42
  I truthfully, I don't think I could do that in a video game.
• 56:47
  Like I'm, I'm missing, I'm missing that zone with the pitch
• 56:52
  meter more than seven times. Yeah.
• 56:57
  That's stupid. Yeah, he had.
• 56:59
  He had two walks in each of his first three starts and then he
• 57:04
  walked one on April 13th and he hasn't walked somebody since.
• 57:10
  My goodness. Speaking of Speaking of nasty,
• 57:13
  another another name. Nasty.
• 57:16
  Also in Pennsylvania, Christopher Sanchez the last two
• 57:22
  start Last three starts have been exceptional, but in
• 57:26
  particular the last two. His May 5th outing against the
• 57:30
  Athletics went 8 innings, allowed just three hits, zero in
• 57:33
  runs, one walk, 10 KS. And then his last start against
• 57:38
  the Rockies 7 innings, six hits, zero and run, zero walks, 7 KS.
• 57:45
  On the year he's got an ERA of 211 with a WHIP of 12867 KS to
• 57:52
  14 walks. Christopher Sanchez.
• 57:55
  Two Phillies on the Credit Canyon this week.
• 57:57
  Yeah. Number 7 and three in their last
• 57:59
  10. How about it?
• 58:01
  That's my, that's my National League representative.
• 58:05
  Don't you forget it. We never will.
• 58:09
  You don't let us. You won't let us.
• 58:16
  Let's go Pirates closing the book.
• 58:19
  Did you guys see Did you guys see the the giant celebration
• 58:23
  drama? Yeah, what?
• 58:26
  How was some flak, huh? What did I mean?
• 58:29
  I knowing, knowing and watching him for a good chunk of a
• 58:33
  season. That was all Harrison Vader by
• 58:36
  the way. No doubt that is the culprit of
• 58:39
  that celebration 100%. Well, he wasn't even in it like
• 58:43
  he was in the build up, but the one where they were just he
• 58:49
  wasn't even out there. So like he, he really must have
• 58:52
  had, he really must have had a that started impact.
• 58:55
  I don't care if it's that's him. Yeah, they did it.
• 59:02
  After the 993 win against the Dodgers on Monday.
• 59:06
  It was again the one where they were.
• 59:11
  It happened once. Just.
• 59:12
  Going to have to watch all the video guys.
• 59:14
  And then somebody said, I don't know which I'm, I'm intrigued.
• 59:18
  I, I want to know. I want to find out who, who who
• 59:21
  acts luster maybe. But I, I would, I would be more
• 59:29
  hopeful that it came from outside of the organization.
• 59:31
  Like I want to, I want to find out that it was like Manfred or
• 59:37
  Griffey or somebody in the in the MLB office being like, Nah,
• 59:42
  no, no, Nope. I would hope it came from their
• 59:45
  infield, their pitching staff, their coaching staff, Buster
• 59:50
  Posey. I would hope it came from
• 59:53
  everywhere. These dudes get weird together.
• 59:57
  I'm not normally that weird, but where do we draw the line?
• 1:00:01
  Where do we draw the line before that?
• 1:00:03
  Right there. Yeah, let's hope.
• 1:00:05
  It felt like Jung Huli was just a he was not.
• 1:00:08
  He was a victim of that. I don't think he he's.
• 1:00:11
  Like he's like, guys, don't, don't do this, don't do this.
• 1:00:15
  He's walking up to him. He's like, no, please, please.
• 1:00:17
  Anything else but this, anything but that.
• 1:00:18
  And then next thing you know, he's sitting there like.
• 1:00:21
  Yeah, dude, guys, arms were up in the air.
• 1:00:23
  Like please stop. Yeah, that was.
• 1:00:28
  That was, I mean, I mean, did did he provide consent for this?
• 1:00:35
  Because that looked like a violation.
• 1:00:36
  Maybe he's the one that said please don't do that again.
• 1:00:41
  Again, maybe John Hooley is the guy that my.
• 1:00:43
  Entire country was watching this game and they're worried for me.
• 1:00:50
  I hope everybody involves like, yeah, probably.
• 1:00:52
  Not again. We're not going to do that.
• 1:00:54
  I mean, that was insane. I did see some memes about it
• 1:00:58
  afterwards and there was like, I think it was like a Dodgers fan.
• 1:01:01
  It was like, come on, guys, we can't be out gaed by the San
• 1:01:04
  Francisco Giants. I'm like, what is what is
• 1:01:08
  happening to our sport? Man?
• 1:01:10
  This is unbelievable. Was that Murray?
• 1:01:12
  That had to have been Murray. No insane Max Freed.
• 1:01:21
  Any update on that? The imaging I guess is tomorrow,
• 1:01:24
  Thursday, right? Yeah, he came out with a quote
• 1:01:27
  saying he's not that worried and that he plans to make his next
• 1:01:30
  start. But who knows, man?
• 1:01:32
  I mean, this is this is what happens in Yankee land.
• 1:01:37
  Start off the season hot and stuff starts to go downhill.
• 1:01:40
  I mean, it's what happens all across the game, but yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:45
  Yeah. JB said shut up Nate, nobody
• 1:01:47
  wants to hear. About no, no, I'm just saying
• 1:01:49
  like this, this is the part of the of the sport right now.
• 1:01:55
  Yeah, we shall see. He hasn't been himself this year
• 1:01:59
  yet at all, so. Am I crazy?
• 1:02:03
  Didn't he? Didn't he start the year off
• 1:02:05
  well? No, no, he's had a couple.
• 1:02:09
  He's he's had decent starts. But when you watch like a Max
• 1:02:13
  Freed start, you're like he's labouring dominant and pretty
• 1:02:18
  much all year he's been like an escape artist.
• 1:02:23
  He's been he's really struggled in the wind up.
• 1:02:25
  So like they've they've tried to like navigate around that and
• 1:02:29
  get him in the stretch more. It's it's all been pretty weird.
• 1:02:34
  Very Blake Snell esque putting up good numbers.
• 1:02:37
  But it it's not without tracking.
• 1:02:39
  It hasn't. Yeah.
• 1:02:39
  Not without labour, Yeah, but. I don't know, it must have had
• 1:02:43
  some like really dominant starts.
• 1:02:45
  The numbers are still good, 199 average against one.
• 1:02:49
  Because he's Max freed like. He's one O 1 whip.
• 1:02:52
  Yeah, but he's really good guys. And there's been a little bit
• 1:02:56
  of, you know, bad luck and stuff, but like, he hasn't been
• 1:03:00
  the normal Max Freed yet and he hasn't even tapped into what he
• 1:03:03
  normally is. The last time he had a a whip as
• 1:03:06
  low as one O 1, he had a 248 ERA and he's at 321 right now.
• 1:03:10
  So you can see a little bit of that.
• 1:03:13
  Still only one home run. I mean, he's been really good.
• 1:03:17
  I know that's what's scary. More home runs than Fernando
• 1:03:21
  Tatis. I'm just kidding.
• 1:03:22
  That doesn't even make sense. We know who he didn't give up a
• 1:03:25
  home run to. Boom.
• 1:03:31
  Lastly, here on closing the book, Bobby Cox would be remiss
• 1:03:34
  without mentioning Bobby Cox, 84 years old, has passed away.
• 1:03:39
  Led the Braves to the 95 World Series, 5 NMNL pennants, and 4th
• 1:03:44
  all time in wins. One of one of baseball's great
• 1:03:50
  managers, but also one of baseball's greatest
• 1:03:55
  personalities. One of my.
• 1:03:58
  I think, I think my favorite. I mean, there's so many, so
• 1:04:01
  many, you know, favorite stats or accolades that he collected
• 1:04:05
  that could be 1's favorite. But I think mine is the fact
• 1:04:09
  that he he got tossed exactly 162 * a full season's worth over
• 1:04:15
  the course of his career, which is just so on par.
• 1:04:18
  It's like so on brand for Bobby Cox.
• 1:04:21
  I love that. I love that for him.
• 1:04:23
  And honestly, been spending a lot of this week thinking about
• 1:04:26
  and I haven't, I haven't tweeted about it.
• 1:04:28
  Like, I just think baseball was better when managerial ejections
• 1:04:32
  were just a regular part of the game and people were like, well,
• 1:04:34
  so you're saying you don't want the right calls?
• 1:04:36
  It's like, no, I want mostly right calls with the occasional
• 1:04:40
  we had the. Right, we had the right setup.
• 1:04:42
  We. Had it, we had the perfect mix,
• 1:04:44
  we had the perfect blend and we went and mess it all up.
• 1:04:46
  I, I just want the occasional semi regular, you know, beef
• 1:04:52
  between the UMP and the manager. It's, it makes for good
• 1:04:55
  entertainment. We need to stop taking ourselves
• 1:04:56
  so seriously all the time. Exactly.
• 1:05:00
  Yeah, I was pretty sad to see that news come through.
• 1:05:03
  Just such a legend. And like, I I mean, any of us or
• 1:05:08
  our generation, like part of us grew up with more Braves
• 1:05:12
  exposure than almost any other team.
• 1:05:14
  Just the fact that it was, it's always on TBS and like you just,
• 1:05:19
  you got to see, you know, pre MLBTV days, like you got to have
• 1:05:23
  that exposure and, and that those are the years that you,
• 1:05:26
  you know, I grew up with, you know, the rocking in the in the
• 1:05:31
  dugout. I'll, I'll just, I can always
• 1:05:33
  picture that. And yeah, I'd be sad too, man,
• 1:05:37
  if I was a Braves fan. It's it's like him and Joe Torre
• 1:05:39
  to me are like the two that like are most comparable to each
• 1:05:43
  other as far as just being so well revered for for each
• 1:05:48
  respective franchise. But sad to see him go.
• 1:05:51
  That's what's an OG right there. Unless you guys got anything
• 1:06:02
  else going to wrap up with our favorite segment of the show?
• 1:06:09
  I do have trivia if you want if you want time.
• 1:06:11
  After this too, Meredith, before we start, before we hopped on,
• 1:06:16
  she goes, oh, so like, I'm not going to see you guys.
• 1:06:18
  Am I going to see you like at 11 tonight?
• 1:06:20
  I was like, no, no, no, like we'll, I'll be up.
• 1:06:24
  Here we are, same thing. It's 1054 and we have yet to do.
• 1:06:27
  All right, let's How is this like a?
• 1:06:29
  Do we need to put a timer on? It we can skip it, we're already
• 1:06:33
  at a point where if we do the question of the week here, we
• 1:06:35
  can see wrap up with that. Yeah, let's do the question.
• 1:06:39
  Oh, oh, didn't mean to jump the gun there.
• 1:06:40
  Let's do. Mirez Question of the Week.
• 1:06:44
  And then it should be, I think it should be somewhat quick and
• 1:06:48
  then maybe we can wrap with trivia.
• 1:06:50
  All right, so. Mirez Question of the Week.
• 1:06:54
  Is since you started driving, OK, So put yourself in that
• 1:06:58
  mindset, OK, Figure out what age that was, approximately 15 and a
• 1:07:02
  half, 16 depending upon when you get your permit, the license and
• 1:07:06
  all that. 18. Wait, did I have that right?
• 1:07:13
  Yeah, me. I was 18.
• 1:07:14
  No. No, what?
• 1:07:15
  I'm saying I got those numbers right. 16.
• 1:07:19
  Yeah. OK.
• 1:07:20
  I thought I had a had a moment there.
• 1:07:22
  But you're saying you got yours at 18.
• 1:07:24
  Fair enough. OK, so put yourself.
• 1:07:26
  Afforded cars and I'd live right next to the school so I was
• 1:07:28
  like. What's the point?
• 1:07:30
  Why? Why wait it out?
• 1:07:32
  Yeah, put yourself in that frame of mind.
• 1:07:34
  The question is, since you started driving, what have you
• 1:07:38
  done more? Drive in reverse or walk side to
• 1:07:43
  side? So this is like a super.
• 1:07:48
  Like this is like the whole like more doors or wheels question.
• 1:07:52
  Yes, exactly or side to side. What?
• 1:07:58
  What does that? Even mean so his, his, his
• 1:08:01
  clarifications are that for driving in reverse, what's
• 1:08:05
  included, backing out of a parking lot, parallel parking,
• 1:08:09
  driving the wrong way, all counts.
• 1:08:14
  That's only you, Ray all. Counts for walking side to side
• 1:08:19
  what's included or examples I should say, but not limited to
• 1:08:23
  during games to get to your seats.
• 1:08:26
  Movies when you're in the theater trying to get to your
• 1:08:29
  seat, large crowds trying to sidestep right, You know, foot
• 1:08:34
  traffic, things like that all count.
• 1:08:36
  What do you think you've done more of?
• 1:08:39
  I was going to say something that it's a good thing that he
• 1:08:41
  had the caveat of since I started driving, right?
• 1:08:45
  This is my whole life. Yeah, leading off first base.
• 1:08:50
  Oh. Yeah, that's huge.
• 1:08:51
  Like that's, yeah. Well, that's still a, that's
• 1:08:53
  still a factor though, because you, you got, yeah, yeah, you
• 1:08:56
  got an 18 and that and you went on to what, 20?
• 1:08:59
  Two, yeah, I guess I think I'm still going to go driving in
• 1:09:04
  reverse, man. I I think, I mean, I pull into
• 1:09:07
  my garage and every day and I reverse out of it.
• 1:09:09
  Every day I think I'm going to reverse.
• 1:09:13
  I think I'm actually going reverse too.
• 1:09:15
  Yeah, because that's, that's a good point.
• 1:09:16
  That's my default part everyday. Yeah, is is like when I can I'm
• 1:09:21
  backing in. I do love a good back in, yeah.
• 1:09:25
  And when people say like, oh, do you yeah, pause, hold on.
• 1:09:28
  When people say like, oh, do you just think you're better than
• 1:09:30
  everybody else? Yes, actually, that's that's why
• 1:09:33
  out of there faster. That's why I.
• 1:09:35
  Do it and I can do it. That's why I do it.
• 1:09:38
  I can do it, so I do it. Yeah, I just like to pull up
• 1:09:41
  beside a car and put my turn signal on and have the guy
• 1:09:43
  behind me come right up there and then me throw my arms in the
• 1:09:47
  air and complain about him and drive around the block and do
• 1:09:48
  the thing whole all over again. That is so on brand that's.
• 1:09:53
  How it happens? Yeah, give me reverse, honestly.
• 1:09:58
  Yeah, Yeah, I think so too. Yeah.
• 1:10:00
  'Cause these, these hips, man, they've, they locked up.
• 1:10:02
  There's, there's not, there's no lateral, there's not much
• 1:10:05
  lateral movement in my life anymore these days.
• 1:10:08
  It's it's it's to and from. There's no sidestepping.
• 1:10:12
  Yeah, yeah, I agree. Trivia.
• 1:10:18
  Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it.
• 1:10:21
  I had a couple that I could have went with here and I was going
• 1:10:23
  to see what we what we talked about and how we went through it
• 1:10:26
  before I decided which one to go with.
• 1:10:28
  This is probably the better one anyway.
• 1:10:32
  Bailey Ober through a Maddox Tuesday night. 89.
• 1:10:36
  Against the Marlins 89 pitch complete game shut out, there
• 1:10:41
  have been 14 complete game shutouts of 90 or less pitches.
• 1:10:46
  Name all 14. Since 2010, so not that long
• 1:10:51
  ago. And the question was how many
• 1:10:54
  can you name which? Which actually works for today
• 1:10:58
  because it does give you the ability to put a timer on it if
• 1:11:01
  you want. How many of those can you name?
• 1:11:04
  Or can we get 5 of them? Well, I know Paul's Keynes is
• 1:11:08
  not that list, so we. Can limit that list and if you
• 1:11:11
  go listen to his quotes he's on the same page.
• 1:11:14
  His first fastball, that 8th inning, was 94 miles an hour.
• 1:11:18
  Did Sandy do it? He said.
• 1:11:19
  A million complete games. Yes, yes, he did it 89 pitches
• 1:11:24
  back on May 19th of 2019. There's one.
• 1:11:27
  Nathan Niavaldi. Not on the list.
• 1:11:31
  Wait, hold, what was the category or we?
• 1:11:33
  Just went mad. Less than 90 or 90 or less than
• 1:11:36
  90. I I said 90 or less, but none of
• 1:11:38
  these are right at 90. So less than 90.
• 1:11:40
  Patients. Oh so this is like a Maddox 2
• 1:11:42
  point O? Yeah, I mean like because he was
• 1:11:44
  89. So I'm like, hey, we if we go up
• 1:11:46
  to 100 there's it's going to expand this list quite you.
• 1:11:49
  Know I was going to say yeah because he have all the I think
• 1:11:51
  started last year like one of his early starts was a Maddox I
• 1:11:57
  remember putting a graphic out about for some reason but or
• 1:11:59
  another. Since what year?
• 1:12:02
  Since 2010. 2010 Let's throw like a Logan Webb out there.
• 1:12:12
  No, not on the list. Cool.
• 1:12:15
  Give me a, Give me a We got Clayton Kershaw on the list.
• 1:12:21
  No, Kersh. Max Reed.
• 1:12:28
  No Max Reed. So there's one in 2025 and there
• 1:12:37
  wasn't one in since 2021. Give me give me a Rick Porcello.
• 1:12:47
  Not on the list, the one in 2010, one of the ones in 2010
• 1:12:50
  there was 2, but the old the the first one on this is a very
• 1:12:57
  notable, very famous complete game.
• 1:13:01
  Shut out. Very famous, not linsicum.
• 1:13:05
  Golly, man. This is a tough look, very.
• 1:13:10
  Some of those older names, except for the one that I just
• 1:13:12
  gave you a big hint of. Some of these older ones are
• 1:13:16
  probably a lot harder to get. Scherzer.
• 1:13:19
  Not Scherzer either. Why was it so notable?
• 1:13:24
  It's extremely Who's that one pitcher from like, what, three
• 1:13:29
  to four years ago that works insanely fast?
• 1:13:34
  Who's like the guy that's notorious for working fast?
• 1:13:42
  Can somebody help me out here? I'm not sure who you're going
• 1:13:49
  with, but there is somebody on this list.
• 1:13:51
  He threw only 81 pitches and it was kind of his thing that he
• 1:13:58
  that he didn't throw a lot of pitches, didn't strike out a lot
• 1:14:00
  of guys. Kind of his thing.
• 1:14:07
  Just efficiency pitcher didn't overpower you, he was just you
• 1:14:12
  just granted all the time not that grinky that's.
• 1:14:14
  Mark Burley. Not Burley at he might be a
• 1:14:18
  little older than that. Oh, duh, you said. 20. 10 you
• 1:14:22
  said 2010. 2010. Who is the guy that I'm thinking
• 1:14:26
  of this? Guy Michael Walker.
• 1:14:32
  What? Not Michael Walker, one of his
• 1:14:36
  teammates. Seth Lugo.
• 1:14:43
  Not one of his current teammates.
• 1:14:50
  Let's go with Adam Wainwright. There you go.
• 1:14:55
  That's Yep, that's the 2021. So you've got 1 from 2019 and 1
• 1:15:00
  from 2021, and obviously Bailey Ober is one of the 14.
• 1:15:07
  Obviously. There's one guy you guys are
• 1:15:11
  very familiar with who I don't think is surprising on this
• 1:15:17
  list. He's the He's last year's and
• 1:15:24
  did it with 11 strikeouts on 89 pitches.
• 1:15:29
  Dang. Yeah. 2010.
• 1:15:36
  Last year with 11 punches, last year with 11.
• 1:15:48
  Give me the position, all right? What's the team from last year?
• 1:15:54
  Saint Louis. Sounded great.
• 1:16:00
  There it is. Good pull.
• 1:16:04
  All right, so we've actually got one through 4, Ober, Gray,
• 1:16:07
  Wainwright, Alcantra. Ober doesn't count for a pick.
• 1:16:11
  But now we're going, I mean, now we're going 2019 and then 2015
• 1:16:19
  and and earlier one more in 2019, which is the guy I was
• 1:16:22
  talking about who plays for one of the teams in Chicago.
• 1:16:25
  Wade, Miley. Not Wade Miley.
• 1:16:30
  This was the one I was telling you that he's he was just kind
• 1:16:33
  of known for this. He did an 81 pitches.
• 1:16:36
  Greg Maddox. No, imagine Maddox in 2019.
• 1:16:43
  I mean he. Does.
• 1:16:45
  I bet he could still do it. Rich Hill.
• 1:16:48
  No, he. Bartolo, Cologne.
• 1:16:53
  Not Cologne. Jesse Chavez.
• 1:16:59
  No. He was like, oh.
• 1:17:05
  Oh boy, she's. All right, so I'll do this.
• 1:17:08
  He played for the Cubs. You said that.
• 1:17:11
  I said one of the teams in Chicago, the.
• 1:17:16
  Other ones count. Yeah, that one count.
• 1:17:18
  Well, hey, numbers respect my white number six.
• 1:17:21
  Was the White Sox, but it was a guy who also played for the
• 1:17:24
  Cubs, but he did it with the White Sox.
• 1:17:26
  Shoot. One one guy for Boston, but it's
• 1:17:33
  not a guy I would, I would think one guy for Boston did an 81
• 1:17:36
  pitches. What year?
• 1:17:40
  What year was this? 2012.
• 1:17:43
  Oh gosh, yeah, I wouldn't. John Smoltz.
• 1:17:47
  No, I, I no. No, that was.
• 1:17:50
  Not that. Not that kind of a name.
• 1:17:51
  Slight early. I saw that earlier 20/12/2012.
• 1:17:58
  We could just get one more, I think.
• 1:18:00
  Oh, John Lackey. No.
• 1:18:04
  Or no? Do they bring him in in 13 Clay
• 1:18:10
  Buckholtz? No, I'm telling you that this
• 1:18:14
  name is It's a tough one. I think he spent some time in
• 1:18:19
  Colorado. The most famous one, the most
• 1:18:27
  like extremely famous one because it was a complete game
• 1:18:34
  shut out, but it could have been more.
• 1:18:36
  Cy Young. In 2010, Lily No, it could have
• 1:18:41
  been more than a complete game shut out.
• 1:18:45
  It could. What does that mean?
• 1:18:46
  It could have been more than a complete game shut out.
• 1:18:48
  It was only one hit and that hit came very late in the game.
• 1:18:53
  Oh. Extremely famous.
• 1:19:00
  Andres Galaraga. I feel like you kind of are
• 1:19:08
  like, you know exactly who this is, but obviously not Andres
• 1:19:12
  Galaraga. Ramon Galaraga.
• 1:19:16
  That was Andres was closer. We got to be able to get this.
• 1:19:23
  Man, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh yes, you Baldo Jimenez.
• 1:19:26
  No, you went further away. What other Galarraga?
• 1:19:31
  Literally the Galarraga who had a perfect game taken from him.
• 1:19:37
  Is that not Andre? Wait, what year was that?
• 1:19:39
  No. Andres Galarraga was the first
• 1:19:41
  baseman. Oh yeah, What was?
• 1:19:42
  What was Armando's name? Armando Armando Galarraga.
• 1:19:49
  I I just forgot? That's what I was trying to get
• 1:19:52
  you to get the name right. He said Armando, but it he.
• 1:19:55
  Said Andre. Sounded like Ted Lilly.
• 1:19:57
  Yeah, it's a common sense. It's an accent.
• 1:20:00
  No I literally said that his fashion was him.
• 1:20:03
  I just forgot the. First name?
• 1:20:04
  Yes, the Red Sox was Aaron Cook. Yeah.
• 1:20:08
  No, the cub I was trying to get you to say was Kyle Hendricks.
• 1:20:13
  Also on I was. Thinking of him?
• 1:20:14
  Wait, you said he played for the White Sox too?
• 1:20:17
  No, that was the next one. Jeff Samarja did it with the
• 1:20:21
  White Sox. Corey Kluber with Cleveland.
• 1:20:25
  Henderson Alvarez the third with Miami.
• 1:20:28
  Kyle Loesch with Milwaukee. Oh, yeah.
• 1:20:30
  Joe Blanton, Philly. Jeff Carstens, Pittsburgh.
• 1:20:34
  Oh, you know, Jime Garcia, Saint Louis Cardinals, Armando
• 1:20:38
  Galarrago. What is his?
• 1:20:39
  Name Insane collection. Yeah.
• 1:20:42
  Of names. It is, and that's why I was
• 1:20:44
  like, we're not getting all of these for sure.
• 1:20:47
  Dude, we would have. Nobody's pulling Aaron Cook.
• 1:20:49
  I would have Joe Bland. I would have.
• 1:20:51
  I would have been stuck here for days.
• 1:20:53
  There's Jeff. Carsten I would have never, I
• 1:20:55
  would have never tried Jeff Carter.
• 1:20:57
  'S yeah, Jeff Samarja either. Like I'm not pulling that name
• 1:21:01
  out. No Henderson Alvarez.
• 1:21:05
  I don't know who that is. Exactly.
• 1:21:07
  I don't. I've never heard of that guy.
• 1:21:10
  I remembered him once. I saw the name.
• 1:21:12
  He he played. I thought he pitched in
• 1:21:15
  Washington. I'm upset that I said Andres.
• 1:21:18
  I was literally thinking Galarago and you guys started
• 1:21:20
  laughing at me and I was like, I don't think that was that bad of
• 1:21:22
  a guess. I was laughing because it's
• 1:21:24
  Andres Go. I was like, no, but you're,
• 1:21:26
  you're there. It's.
• 1:21:28
  Another galarago I'm. Thinking of that.
• 1:21:29
  Yeah. Thanks a lot, Jim Joyce.
• 1:21:32
  Jim Joyce. I, I'm at the point with that
• 1:21:35
  whole thing that I, I mean, at this point, how are you as a, as
• 1:21:41
  an outsider, not, I'm not saying Galaraki, like obviously I'd
• 1:21:43
  probably feel differently if I was him, but as an outsider,
• 1:21:48
  it's got it. It's so much better of a story
• 1:21:53
  that he didn't get it because we're still talking about it.
• 1:21:56
  What, what was it? Who was the name trivia Pop
• 1:21:58
  quiz? Who is the name I mentioned
• 1:22:00
  earlier that threw the perfect game in 2012?
• 1:22:04
  Exactly number exactly. You had to think about it.
• 1:22:07
  But if I say who's the guy that almost had the perfect game,
• 1:22:10
  that name comes to you immediately, it's because.
• 1:22:12
  It's but more Andre. Part of his name.
• 1:22:14
  His last name comes part of his. Name well regular baseball
• 1:22:17
  people that the no ball make podcast equipment more
• 1:22:23
  expensive, more expensive. But you see what I mean though?
• 1:22:26
  Like obviously if you're a gala Rocky, you feel differently, but
• 1:22:28
  as an outsider, I, I think it's, the longer it goes, I think it
• 1:22:32
  you look back on it as a, as an even better story.
• 1:22:35
  It's the only reason I know Jim Joyce's name.
• 1:22:37
  Exactly. Yeah, or Kyle.
• 1:22:40
  Rocka's name, for that reason known.
• 1:22:42
  And I think that's the point. And I think that he actually
• 1:22:44
  does. I think he recognizes that.
• 1:22:47
  Yeah. And he like he knows he's, I
• 1:22:51
  think he is fine with the way it is if like I've seen some things
• 1:22:55
  with him and he's just like, no, I mean, I still get to show my
• 1:22:59
  grandkids I pitched a perfect game.
• 1:23:01
  Yeah, everybody knows he pitched a perfect game.
• 1:23:03
  But right, because it's not in the books as such, we get to
• 1:23:06
  keep talking about it. Anyway, what are you laughing
• 1:23:10
  at? My wife's gift that she sent me.
• 1:23:18
  Even now, be over there in a minute.
• 1:23:21
  Shoot. All right, good stuff.
• 1:23:25
  JB, over to you. Go baseball.
• 1:23:31
  See you guys Sunday just. Maybe.
• 1:23:34
  Real, real talk though, I, I think I've mentioned it, I don't
• 1:23:38
  know. I'm on a, I'm on a, I'm on a.
• 1:23:40
  Your day-to-day. I'm day-to-day, you know, I
• 1:23:43
  could be this thing this this little guy could be popping out
• 1:23:47
  any day. So it's TBD.
• 1:23:49
  I'm a game time decision on on maybe.
• 1:23:52
  Just make that lobby for us just in case.
• 1:23:55
  Yeah, I think I was like you guys.
• 1:23:56
  Can run the. Show show me how to make a
• 1:23:58
  lobby. Yeah.
• 1:24:00
  That'll end. That'll end my consecutive game
• 1:24:03
  streak on this podcast. I'll be the first one I haven't
• 1:24:05
  hosted. That's fair.
• 1:24:07
  When that time comes, I might just kick you guys off the
• 1:24:12
  account and then you can't enter the.
• 1:24:13
  Lobby we can't do. It we just want podcast.
• 1:24:16
  Whatever works. It's like I'm fine with that.
• 1:24:19
  Just like the better division in our fantasy league, don't go
• 1:24:25
  chasing curveballs. OK, we love you all as always.
• 1:24:27
  Looking forward to talking more baseball with you guys soon.
• 1:24:30
  Until next time, stay filthy.
