  Speaker 3: Yeah, and now you'll call the Derby tonight even more

  Speaker 2: It's a lot.
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, the list here, eight guys, seven brand new
• 0:44
  Speaker 6: home run Derby contestants for the first time, a lot
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: of young guys that are gonna put their name on
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: the map here and hopefully it's a great show.
• 0:51
  Speaker 5: And I think it will be who's the returning guy
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: of the one?
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: It would be Olsen?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Oh right, Olson's done. Yeah, and he was a late
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: ad he would have been later.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Either.
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: We struggled in the one he had, but you never
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: know one of those things where it's like, just put
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: me in and all of a sudden he takes off.
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: Lefties are going to bode well this week or today.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Excuse and he's got home juice too exactly, which doesn't
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: hurt sometimes a hometown guy, you know, well.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: He did the hometown.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Yep, he's home hometown though he's Georgia and he plays yes, plays.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Right, Atlanta, double hometown. That's very true.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: All right, So right off the jump here we do
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: have something to cover, Like there is controversy heading into
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the All Star Game in terms of who's there and
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: who's not there. So let's charge the mound. It's Hot
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Corner powered by Next Playground. We'll talk about the game
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: coming up in a little bit. Podfather played some Derby,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: so did Krats and AJ. But let's get into the
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: All Star Game. When you first heard that five starts
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: into his big league career, the Maze got the call
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to atl you were probably so excited and said, yup,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: deserves it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's not exactly what I did.
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: I did exactly what the Phillies said, like, no, I'm sorry,
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: I love the kid, but five Stars. No, and this
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: is this is one hundred percent of league decision because
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: they got to pick whoever they wanted the one like
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: he was voted on by the players because when the
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: players vote happened, he hadn't even been probably pitching the
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: big leagues yet, or he maybe had one or two so.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: One didn't get in and he was the envy.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: He was the player of the month for June.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: They voted before that.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: They vote late June. I think they vote in like
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the Jukes.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Has less appearances on the mound than I do in
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the big League.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: How many appearances you got, I don't know.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I know it's more than five.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: So a lot of players are probably pissed about this,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: besides just the Phillies guys who were vocal because they
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: want there.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: But people know, but people have bonuses attached to this.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, right, So whether one Soto makes makes seven hundred million,
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: he still gets a big bonus for being elected an
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: All Stars. So for Misslerowski to get this, it's like, Okay,
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: Christopher Sanchez is the obvious choice, but there's other people
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: that have obvious choices, and there's a lot of people
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: that you know obviously aren't coming this year, which is
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: also disappointing, but the ones that like, you can find
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: someone to come that has been there all year and
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: done a lot of good things. And the fact that
• 3:15
  Speaker 7: Christopher Sanchez is in here in Misrowski is Philly summed
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: it up perfectly when they said as a.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Joke, they did.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: There is a breakdown of how Okay, Christopher Sanchez could
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: have gotten in but not. The rules are you can't
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: invite somebody, you can't replace somebody.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing, because this is important for the pitching
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: side of things, because this is a pitcher who's replacing
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: other pictures and Misrawski, the Phillies are pissed because they
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: have multiple guys that they think should.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Have gotten in.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: First off, just to clear the board here, Ranger Suarez
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: was asked he had plenty of arrest he declined, So, yes,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: we're good. There for Christopher Sanchez, he pitched this weekend
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: on Saturday, Saturday. So the call is, hey, you can
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: be a replacement, but you have to pitch an inning.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You have to be available for an inning. And he said,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to be So then they go, okay,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: we're moving on. We have to ask someone else. Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and then the Phillies players were saying, hey, he should
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: still be designated an All Star because he got the ask.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: But they're like, he got the ask and not the acceptance,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: so he's not an All Star. Then he doesn't get
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: the bonus the Phillies gave.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Him his team bonus. Obviously, these guys have other bonuses
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: off the field too.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: He should get to Jersey, he should get the hat,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I think he should be here then as a replacement,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: because their thing is we could go to ten replacements
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and we could have all these extra guys here, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: they can't actually pitch for us.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Well, I think that's the tough part about it, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: that's why All Stars is difficult. And I've talked to
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: you about this. Maybe give him a whole week off
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: so they can get those guys. And I know it's long,
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: don't get me wrong. It changes, you know, of getting
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: appearances and all that other jazz, But you want the
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: best of the best. As we talked about, you can't
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: hate Miz for getting picked to go there.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: It's not his fault. He's excited than ever.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: But they got to make the right decisions and maybe
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: there's something they need to look back and change for
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: the All Star break. Maybe make it so that on
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: that Sunday, they make it on a Friday, so everybody
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: can get a little more time off and get ready
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: and everybody can pitch. I don't know, there's something else
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: that's got to be done.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think any player would sit there and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: go Jacob Mizerowski is not supposed to be in. He
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: just shouldn't be in, or they're hating on him. That
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: is not at all what players are saying. I think
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: people are saying, you're jealous all this stuff, like these
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: are two guys that made All Star teams. It is
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: really hard to make an All Star team in the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: big leagues and there are other worthy people to make it.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler Rogers should be an All Star. I get it,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: he's a reliever, but he should be here based on
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the fact that he played the entire season. I'm not
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: saying rookies can't, but when you make it five games
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: into your career and the five games isn't even like
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: he wasn't elite dominance.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: He had really good stuff.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: And if he was, does it even matter.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It's like, Ellie, last year you were how hard were
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you fighting for Eli last year.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: No, Ellie played a full season, Like you mean two
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: years ago.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Or two years ago? Sorry, two years ago you were
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: like one hundred.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: And Ellie about Ellie had way more at Bad. Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Paul had what eleven started starts and people.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: Were freaking out. Parted the All Star Game, right, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: people were freaking out about that.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: Oh, the All Star Game to me used to be
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: a thing you were honored to do as a player, like,
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: oh my gosh, I made the All Star Team.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I have to go.
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: This might be the only one I get to go to.
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Now it's become like, oh, I made the All Star Team, like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: and I have to go.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I think it was a lot excited to make it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: And then they're like I don't want to go. Yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I think that needs to be addressed.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: How do we address that?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: How do we get the guys to show up? Now?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: More money, more money, And I hate to say it sounds.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Like bad but all run derby All of a sudden,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: it's a million dollars to the winner and now you
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: got seven first. For sure, you say.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: Yes if there's money like that on the line.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: And it's not trying to be bragging like, oh, well,
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: you guys get all the money in the world, but
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: you know you put a little dollar figure on it,
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: a little bit more, a little more institive to go.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I just don't.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: I don't know how you do it, because listen, there's
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: guys that are making the All Star team. You know,
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: last minute and they're coming. But it's kind of I
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: don't know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: There's like one hundred All Stars now.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: There used to be you know, you had your twenty
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: five on each league and it was man, it was
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: so hard to make these teams. But now there's like
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: seventy five guys on each team.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Makes me feel like I didn't.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I was really bad because I never made an All
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Star seventy you were.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: You were next guy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: It wasn't yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: And if you played now, you would be a lock
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: because callers would say no, and you'd be like, I'm in.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of no shows this year, in particular
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: where I did some research and I'm like, why aren't
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: they here. Some guys are hurt, okay, like Jose Ramira said,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I'm heurd, I'm battling.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: He's a fan. Vote that's not that's not coming though.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: That's not coming. But there's a lot of guys on
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the next list. Okay, I'll point one out. He's parades
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: two time. All sorry, this is second time he's been
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: voted in. He's not a superstar. This could be the
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: only other time that he ever gets voted in. He said, nah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: fam time, I'm out. Like, I get it. Everyone's everyone
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: agrees they understand fam time, just like Anthony Rendon doesn't
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: care about baseball and wants his fam time.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: It's a day and a half.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: And here's why.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: Bring your family here. And that's what I'm saying. I mean,
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: I know it takes it all the time.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Many vacation or something.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: They pay for everything here.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But bring your family here and have your kids on
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the field with you, and kids will remember.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the kids remember that stuff and get the cool
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: video of you and your kids and doing the whole thing.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, I just it is what it is.
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: People are gonna decline and people can say, oh, but
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry. This isn't against this isn't against Jacob Mezerowski
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: at all. But he just shouldn't be here.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: I don't and this is not a knock on him.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: It's not his fault. They picked him and he's gonna
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: say yes. Everyone wants to see the guy six seven,
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: guy throw one hundred and five.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: I think the players need to figure out how to
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: get the guys here, and if they have a problem
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: with the current ructure, it's in the CBA. So Ken
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: talked about this on Fair Territory and wrote about it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Up at the end of the next year.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: The CBA so try and fix this. The problem is,
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: this is pebbles.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: This is like the fiftieth most important thing compared to
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: what they have to sort through. But the CBA says,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: if you're not available to play in the game, you
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: cannot be named as a replacement, So you cannot be
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: named an All Star.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: So you won't be a replacement All Star.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Here's my thing with the guys that say no Todd Father,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: especially some of the guys that have only been named
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: once or twice. If you went back to when they're
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: twelve years old and you said, hey, Esach, you're gonna
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: make it to the BIGS, and you're gonna be so
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: unappreciative that you're not even gonna go when they ask
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: you to be an All Star. Could you imagine every
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: kid's scream and that spot is to make the bigs
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: let alone be an All Star. And he's just like, nah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: And I think they'll look back on their careers and
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: been like, man, maybe I should have Maybe I should
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: have did that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Or you know some of your kids like that eat
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: All Star Game? How many you have? Well I had one,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: I could have done three, or you know whatever.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Just the weirdest that didn't go.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, why didn't you go?
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: People would do anything to be an All Star.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, scot.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, my okay, here's this is obviously my
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: life that I lived. I played most of my career
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: in Triple A m H. In twenty seventeen, I got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: selected to the Triple A All Star Game. Okay, so
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'm thirty seven, I have three kids. We were in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: where was I at? I don't even remember Columbus. We
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: were going to the shore for the All Star break, okay,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: or I could go to Tacoma for the All Star Game.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: I named the Triple A All Star Games.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: This is Triple A for a thirty seven year old
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: who had parts of six years in the Big leis
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: at the point. At that time, yep I asked my kids,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: which would you rather do, go to the shore or
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: go to Tacoma?
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: And what they say?
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: They said, I want to go to the shore. So
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we went to the shore.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, and now let's now let's put that in the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: big league scenario. If you said, hey, kids, day and
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a half down the shore or day and a half
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: in atl plus you can still go to the shore,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: like you can leave and then go to the shore.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: It's what I do.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Do you think your kids would say, hey, let's go
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to atl to the All Star Game?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They would go to the All Star Game in the
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: big leagues. But maybe some guys aren't viewing it as
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that important.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Okay, you're wrong.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I disagree guys that I would agree they should do it.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah for me, aj, it's like if you've been there
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: ten times and I don't know, they're really getting tugged
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: to do something else.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Maybe you've got a case, but yeah.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So excuse me.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: He's a special designation this year as the commissioners.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: It's an honor.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Actually, most of those guys actually go right, like do
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: you We rarely see someone like a judge or a
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Harper or anybody that's in the A list say no,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not going because I just want to at home.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: It's good for baseball man.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Well, but here's the thing, Well, especially in a place
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: like the Battery right in Atlanta, there's assigning appearances that
• 12:09
  Speaker 7: you can do for sponsors. I saw Bobby Witt Junior
• 12:12
  Speaker 7: just not long ago doing a thing for he has
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: a water Burger appearance right over here. You can do,
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: especially in a place like Atlanta, where everything is right here.
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: They're staying right here there, they're all these restaurants, bars,
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: everything is right here.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Stores. You can make a lot of money.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: If you just show up and do something here.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It takes an hour out of your day at twelve o'clock. Like, oh,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: it showed up from twelve.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: To one at whatever the truest community corner and I
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: made fifty thousand dollars or one hundred thousand dollars Like that's
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: it's not a big deal.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: The problem is that some guys are on really nice
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: contract that'll pay.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: For that vacation when the season's over with.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: That really well, But if you're one of the guys
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: that's on like a one fifty mili contract and like
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: it's cool to make one hundred k for a couple
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: of days.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: But it's actually not going to change your life.
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: It's the incentive of family, it's incentive of thinking about
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: not just yourself, but other things along the way. You know,
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: they like going on that vacation right when the season's
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: then you'd go home, Guys, meet me wherever. Let's go somewhere.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: It's still money in your pocket. So I talked to
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Joey bought it back a day. Man, make as much
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: money as you can. And that's one guy that did.
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: And ultimately now he's living a great life, which he
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: was before. Still, but yeah, I don't care if it's
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: fifty thousand or one hundred thousand or ten thousand. It's
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: still a good chunk of change which anybody can use,
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And hey, nobody is more excited than the miss himself.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: We've had him on the show at a few weeks ago.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Jacob Izerawski, I will say, from a fan perspective, aside
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: from the whole debate of oh he should make he
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: should make it, I'm excited to see him pitch. I mean,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: he's one of the most unique pitchers in the game
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: right now. He throws one oh three his Slider's mid nineties.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: He's got control of it, like he's the new it
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: thing right now in baseball. And we do get to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: see him face big league hitters. And here's his reaction
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: after he found out.
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: And picked someone else to represent the Brewers and uh,
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: pitching the All Star Game. This is a guy that's
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: generated a lot of excitement. Really proud announced this that
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: our version of Forrest Cup, Jacobzowski, is going to the.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I honestly have no word, guys, I don't I don't
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: know if that. I mean, it's an.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Honor and uh, you know, there's a lot of older
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: guys around that's been around for a lot more than
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: I have.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: So I I just wanted to send to thank so all.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: Help you guys, give me you get through these a
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: couple of weeks that have been here.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: So it's a huge.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: He was called up exactly a month ago.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: You know what, somebody said, I forget if it was
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Castianus or if it was Turner said, oh, it's like
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: a popularity contest, Like it's maybe if people are really
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: pissed about it, maybe you could just go ahead and
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: sell yourself. Like we have a problem with players themselves
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: in the game. Maybe don't wait for the team to say, hey,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: we got something for you. Go ahead and put yourself
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: out there. Maybe that's maybe that's what helped. I'm not saying,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: miss Rowski is not like this social media darling or
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: anything like that. Go ahead and sell yourself. If the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: game's not gonna it's your career. Sell you do what
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you need to do to get yourself out there.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: How do we find out? Find out who the starters are?
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Who goes?
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: The fans vote?
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: So it is a popular it's a popularity contest, like
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: the players too.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Don't let them.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: Don't let people say that it's not a popularity contest
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: with the players because people are like, how many times
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: did you guys vote? You're like that guy he threw
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: at me. I'm not voting for him. I'm not voting
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: for him. It's a popularity It's a popularity contest.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: It is it is. I'm making it into something.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: It's a popularity contest from the fans, the players, and
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: whoever else gets to vote.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just to pick out a name on
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: that side, like Julio Rodriguez has not had a great
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: first half, but he's a known name and players voted
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: for him. He's not here, he didn't come, but players
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: voted for him period. There were other outfielders that have
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: had better first halfs than him.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of outfielders first in him.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: So that's the point.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: The last thing here we found out skens against Google
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: for starting and then also I just wanted to give
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: a shout out to the unsung guys.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: The Padres have three relievers voted in. I mean that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: I think that's never happened before.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, first team in MLB history to send three relievers
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: to the All Star Game from one team, Robert Suarez,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: their closer, Jason Adam and Adrian Morejone, two of their
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: setup guys.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: That's pretty cool.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: But this is the picture problem though, how many pitchers
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: have declined that we start getting out of San Diego.
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: Who could have named those three guys outside of hardcore
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: hardcore baseball fans, who could have named who could have
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: told you who Andre Morohane was.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I'm not I don't mean that. It's great, congratulations Adrian.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: I'm happy that you're coming to the All Star Game,
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: but that's because of all the all the people that
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: have said, no, I'm not coming. I don't want to pitch.
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: I don't want to do this. I can't pitch on Sunday.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: I'm pitching on Sunday. So I can't pitch like that.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: But that's what it starts becoming. And who gets to
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: pick the replacements? The commissioner, right, because so get your
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: name out there.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: You think you think Zach Wheeler got the option that
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: he was going to start.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know what the backstory is there.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Even if he has a bad year, he should have
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: an option that good.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Like I thought he was going to start. I thought
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: he'd show up.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: He's from Georgia and he's not coming, right, I don't know.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's not coming or not. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: didn't see a list of that. But my thing is,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: my thing is this guy's from here. He started last year.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they went to him and was like, hey,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Skeens is going to start, and he's like, all right,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I'll be right up the road at my house. And
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's in like Decatur, d Kolb or something like.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know that completely. I'm not breaking news or
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: anything like that. I want to know if he got
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the option, because the only reason I think that is
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: because Max Freed called Perk scuble. So there is conversation
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: and I don't know, we'll see, hopefully one day we'll
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: find out you can't.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Argue with schemes. Were scooble though.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Let mean, come on, like I'm saying, I thought Wheeler
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: would have gotten the start h h and then when
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: he didn't, and then when he didn't, then he said nah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: So let me ask you this, because Skeins is probably
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: the more electric guy right now, like the name. You
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, who's I don't have the numbers
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: in front of the who has the better numbers in
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: the first half, and he still does even though he's
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: kind of.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Like ga is under a two ear eight, not winning
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: any games. He can't score any run. His era is better,
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: has better more, way more, not way more. He has
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: some more is a few more innings because Skeens is
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: going long and Wheeler has more punches.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Gotcha.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Their numbers are both ridiculous. Yeah yeah, but but again
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: no offense. Skeens is the star. He's the bigger star
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to people out there. Yeah right, he's and he started
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: last year and then they get him ver Schooble. I'm
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: not arguing with you that Wheeler maybe shouldn't have gotten
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: the start Max Freed. They were talking about getting a
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: start for the American League, but schemes were Schooble.
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: Those are probably the two biggest names of pitching right now,
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: so it's an exhibition.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Run them out there.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Skeins does have better numbers, I mean with a quick look,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: but they're almost identical on innings one twenty two for Wheeler,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: one twenty one for Skeins. E r A plus Skeins
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: is at two twelve, Wheeler's at one eighty two. Strikeout
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: numbers are probably in a similar spot. I mean, k
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: P nine a little higher for Wheeler, but like now
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: we're getting into semantics run prevention.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: Skeins is winning.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Skeins is a better picture right now. I'm sorry he is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying he shouldn't.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: I'm say I wonder if you found out, and then
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Wheeler's like, well, if I'm not starting, I'm gonna do
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: everything I can to recover and at the house, brand
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: new baby at home, all that stuff goes into it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Good play, yep, all right, we're gonna step aside. We'll
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: get into the derby. You got other things to hit
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: here obviously on FT and also make sure you tap
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: into get twenty percent off Next Playground.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: These guys all played in the past week.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: We'll show you a little bit of Todd Father's action
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: today and then Kratz and AJ tomorrow. A fifty dollars
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: savings if you hit that QR code. It's really cool,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: very interactive. If it's hot at wherever you are and
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: your kids are playing video games, you want to play
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: with them. This is the best way to play technology wise.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Over forty five games on Next Playground. They'll take us
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: into break and we'll be right back.
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: Even Summer needs a back up, well pal, a little
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: sidekick in the big kyd of chaos, the kind of
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: partner that turns living rooms into playgrounds and reminds us
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: what our bodies and our hearts were made. Play that
• 21:01
  Speaker 9: moves you.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Hey, we're back. Let's take a question or two. In
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: the YouTube live chat, Mike g saying let's call it
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: what it is. The miss selection was for casual baseball
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: fans at the expense of real baseball fans, and then
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: brought up a name, Cubs closer Danny Plentcia, just like
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: you brought up Tyler Rodgers, who's another great candidate.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: True, Dave Plentcy throws one hundred and one. If that's
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: what you're looking for, you're looking He's fun to watch.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: One positive thing is they're promoting a player. I like
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: that part of it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: And they're promoting I and a starter.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: We have a starting pitching problem too, with guys that
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: you can kind of look at the headline and say,
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: I'm going today because of him.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: Miss is that guy right now?
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Anybody miss? Anytime MS goes up against the other team's best,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: it's must TV.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Right Yeah, I mean midweek Midwest game had great ratings.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It was sold out for MIS versus Schimes. What two
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: weeks ago? Oh it was they both happened. They both happen. Yeah, yeah,
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: they both happened, and they both obviously had great ratings.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Great turnouts matters. Let's not forget is entertainment, So it matters.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: This guy throws that hard. People are gonna be like, whoa,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: here we go.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: People will tune in to see someone like that, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: they want to see what he looks like against the
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: game's best, just like schemes last year. Ever, what was
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: the most exciting part last year that you remember Skins
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: matching up against the big boys, right yeah, and the out.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: The home run Durant Homer winning the m v P.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Now you know, I know what you meant, Scott.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: You have a Built Rewards card, Right.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I do, CRATS.

  Speaker 3: sure to use our URL so that they know we
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: sent you.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: And the weeds.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: Let's dig into the home run derby field now that
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: it's set. And it took a second to reset because
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: remember the last guy named in for the eight was
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Jazz Chisholm.
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: That was I think on Thursday, and.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Then on Friday we find out that Ronald o'cuna dipped out.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: He's having some back issues. He just came back the
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: knee surgery. Nobody's faulting Ronald, who loves to play ball.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I mean he tries to convince the Braves to let
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: him play more winter balls.
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: So it sucks to not have him in.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: But then they do the right thing here, No aj
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: replace him with a guy so that they have someone
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: from Atlanta.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you a big home run batch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: You got to have a hometown guy.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So this is this was the right move.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: Okay, Yes, as much as it stinks to Decuna is
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: not in it but yeah, yes, and Alson being in
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: was the right move.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Premiere power back in the league for a while two
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: years ago led baseball and homers with I think fifty
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: three or fifty four. I mean, he deserves to be here.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, at home, it's gonna hit some He's gonna hit
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: the chop house like six times. I can't wait to
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: see how ball, how far the ball flies here because
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: we've been watching humidor balls here because it's a little
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: bit it's the second highest elevation here and now they're
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: going to use the home run derby balls.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: No humidor these are gonna go humidor there.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: And so far the weather is perfection for balls flying
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: because there's actually a threshold where if it's too hot,
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: then like there's a there's a median range where it's
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: like I don't know what it is, like eight in
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: and ninety five or something like that, where the ball
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: will travel the further out there.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: We should have got him in here.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Listen, five out of the eight guys are left handed.
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: I think they have advantage with cal Raley can go
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: both ways. Who's hitting first, who's hitting last? James Wood
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: a guy got some light tower power. Who's gonna hit
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: the furthest home run O'Neil Cruz might be that guy Buxton.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: I mean, he's hit a ball for four eighty plus
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: already this year, if not over. Just a lot of
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: good backstories here. Kyle Rally's brother is gonna be catching.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: I want to get him miked up. I think that'd
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: be pretty cool. Chisholm, he's got stepfather throwing to him.
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: I think that's awesome. Is he gonna take it serious?
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: He just came off injury too, with an oblique So
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: you know, there's a lot of things to take into
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: consideration about all these guys. I mean, it's just really cool.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: Junior Camanaro, he's electric too, with the whole running hit overseas.
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Is he gonna have that energy when he comes to play.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: So it's gonna be a tough, tough one to pick.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: But at the same time, I think it's gonna be
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: one of the most electric ones. We're gonna see how.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Much does stamina matter later on.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: Big Time, Big Time, especially in the seat. Yeah, there's
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: no there's no way ce in this one. And I
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: always tell everybody drink your electro lights, don't chug it
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: in between. You don't need extra swings, you know, aj
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: you've done it before, but never time. But at the
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: same time, like people get in the cage and they
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: get after and after every time.
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: You're just gonna drain yourself beforehand and in between and
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: in between. Guys will go in between and take more swings.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, they want yeah.
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Stupid right, I mean, hey.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: As far as I look at it, yeah, yeah, especially
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: when it's one hundred and fifty degrees and it's not.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: A number of swings. Before it was like the outs,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: so you could take your time. Now you gotta be
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: fresh for that. And that's that's another reason James Wood
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: is going for first. For me, he's gonna have to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: sit through seven other guys and then go again. What
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: if he wins the first round, He's had to sit
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: through three other guys after that, so he had to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: watch ten guys hit before he has to go again.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: But he's young.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: Is that good or bad? Because like you do, you
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: get colder, you get some rest.
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: It's a little bit of both. But again, you want
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: to get in the kid, get on a bike, get
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: on a cage, something, just to keep moving, Like when
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: I did it, my brother threw to me. I just
• 27:27
  Speaker 6: played pepper in the cage. I just wanted to keep moving,
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: not aggressively. I was just hitting and I would like
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: barely touch the back of the net. Just saw my
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: body was still in that motion to swing.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: So you'd run inside and do that and then close
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: to when it's your time come back out.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I went back in my locker. I would
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: sit there in the cool air. Cincinnati was disgustingly hot. Yep,
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: drink the pedia light that I was drinking. Maybe have
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: a banana in between, and get on the bike pedal.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Watch it while I'm doing a nice easy pedal. And
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: then two guys in front of me. I got in
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: the cage just playing up.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: That's all.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Is it more tiring than playing a nine inning game?
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, yes, it is absolutely absolutely.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Like not even close.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: How much more tiring?
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Is it twenty times more time?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you're exhausted if you do the three straight round,
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: if you do one round, no, but if you make
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: it to the championship, it's draining. I've been four minutes.
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: Each round was four minutes long. Geez, it goes three,
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: then it goes to two.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's different now. So yes, they tightened it up. Okay,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: size up the field.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: What do you like?
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: You can give your winner here and we'll do it
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: again later.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: But Vanaro's gonna win because he announced it on our
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: show that he wanted to be in it, so therefore.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: He's got to win, and then he got in. So yeah,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: it's got to be Junior.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Who else do you like? If you're like all right,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: if he doesn't win, I could see I like.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Cal because Cal is bigger.
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Cals to me, has the least violent swing out of
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: everybody else, so he can just kind of flick balls.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: And Olsen is Olsen also can just flick balls to left,
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: the center, to right. Cal's not feeling a left handed,
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: he can always just switch sides and then try the
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: other side.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: So those are the three for me that I like you.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I would say I have one A and one B.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: James Wood and Junior Cameranaro. I just think there's something
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: about Junior Cameraro being able to go opposite field if
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: it's if it's not flying to left for some reason,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: or it's easier, he can dump a few over that wall.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: And I just think I think the young guys, the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: youth plays.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: In the sport.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah for me, I'm also with Aj.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Obviously I'm biased because the guy announced it on our show,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: but also I like to try and pick a guy
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: who's on the younger side.
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: That doesn't necessarily matter. I mean top five.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: You called it last year to Oscar Nandez won, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: he was probably one of the older guys in the derby,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: because the derby will have a lot of twenty two
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: to twenty three twenty four year olds. Tao's probably thirty ish.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: He had some easy pop too, Yeah, off his bat
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: so easy loft.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be different. It'll be different because last year
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the ball was not traveling.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: If there were as many home runs, if you were
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: here Atlantean range, you have an opportunity to get to
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: move up. There wasn't many twenty five to thirty five
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: at all, if any if you want the truth, if
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: I recall so, we'll see how much the ball goes.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: It's weird about this place is the first couple of
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: years when it opened that everyone was talking about how
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: the ball is flying, and over the last few years
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: it's kind of almost been more. It's almost flipped and
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it's a human door or what.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: But it's weird because he I mean, this place. The
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: first couple of years, it was like get a ball
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: up in the air out here.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: It was like in the second deck over the bull.
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's changed, but what they changed, but they changed
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: something like Toronto. Toronto used to be one of the
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: best hitting parks in the world, and that with defenses.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: And not only can be that was that was different construction. Yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: but they didn't. It's not like they changed the building.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: True, a lot of it has to do with airflows,
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: but I heard that.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: That's That's what I'm saying, and they don't even I mean,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's a I'm sure there's a
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: way to test this out, but some of it's like
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: you don't know until they actually changed the structure renovation.
• 31:07
  Speaker 5: Wise, and then they're like, uh, oh, it's not traveling
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: there anymore.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: That's happened, didn't That happen in San Diego where nothing
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: was moving for X amount of years and then something
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: went up or down ball bar buildings went up and
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: buildings went up and Arlington, Yeah, but that was that
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: was the wind came in and went out and then
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: they glassed it up before they before they toured or
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: before they moved the new stadium, they put glass in
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: the suites behind, and then the wind wasn't flying out
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: and it became more of a pictures park.
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Well, Globe Life this year is the number one pictures
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: park in baseball Giganic.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they have good pictures and Atlanta is usually
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: up there in terms of the power department.
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: So it's a better show it stick the old Metrodome
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: when they used to say the Twins would turn the
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: fans on behind and were hitting and turn them off
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: when the visiting.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Thing was hitting, which were like I was like, man,
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: they never turned it on when I hit.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: I listen, guy, yeah, you have here.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Whatever made it? If they if the Braves know what
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: made it? Like squash the home runs, turn it all off,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. I want to see balls. I want
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to see five hundred and fifteen feet tonight.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: That's what everyone wants. Remember Miami. Also, I think John
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and Judge were.
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: In there, and it's not easy to hit balls out
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: of that park. But whatever they did, however, they were different.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Balls are different. It was flying balls, Todd, you know
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the balls are different.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: For the home God, I need I need a ball,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Give me a ball of Friday. I want a Big
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: League All Star. I went the home run Derby, the color,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the tight because I want to see outside. I've never
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: seen how small.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: They're not smaller, they're just harder. That's why have the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: same ball.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: They just want to think.
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: One they gave it away to me was I don't
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: know what year was in Detroit. The home run Derby
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: was in Detroit. Bobby and Bray you in Detroit hit
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: one in right field over the stands up like on
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: top and you can't you can't not hit a ball.
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: You could stand at second base and guys couldn't hit
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: a ball there. And he did it Derby, and I'm like,
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: this is this is ridiculous.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: One.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: The one as for me was Judge in Miami, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: literally since then NASA has come out and said they're engineers,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: said the roof cannot be hit, physically cannot be hit,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: but they were going with the dimensions of a real
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: baseball normal humans. And so you put those two together
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and he hit the roof, so it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: Was not a real baseball or Judge is an alien bro.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: And Milwaukee was incredible too.
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: Out the window, Yeah, but he hit balls out the windows.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he opened a fine bottle of wine,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: took the quirk out, put it in.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Nob That whole home run Derby I was at that
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: All Star game. That whole home run Derby was ridiculous.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Johnby was hitting balls to right that were I mean
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: in the upper upper deck, like over the upper deck
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: out there.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: Sammy was hitting them out the window. But I forgot
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: my guy was in that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: He had no chance against those guys like Toy. Yeah,
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: it was just a Derekson Profar All Star Game.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there were some advantages back then that made it
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: a little bit lopsided.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: Anyway.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: All right, Todd, Father is gonna go. We got Dell
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Murphy coming up. Good to see you, dude. We're gonna yeah,
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: we'll be watching and listening. Let's go Hot Father tonight
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: on ESPN.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: All right, take it to Derby, Todd.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: Let's go get time for truest money moves.
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Let's hit the draft because a lot of youngsters just
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: got a lot richer, including the youngest number one overall
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: pick ever and the youngest pick in the draft yesterday,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Eli willits number overall shocker. We're gonna have hot sheet
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: later from here. Baseball America Hot Sheet. I'll be hosting
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: JJ Cooper's here. We'll have some others joining us remotely,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna go full scale through the entire draft.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: So if you want to nerd out on the draft,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: we'll do that, but we'll give you the big picture
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: I know, at least for the top two.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: People were like, hunh huh no, Okay, So here's something
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: that happened. And I and I again hearsay because I
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: was here last night.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: I went over to the draft.
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Will, it's the Nationals. We all know it's about pool.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: We all know it's about how much money you have.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: From what I was told, nobody was even talking about
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: Will It's making being the first pick until about twenty
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: four hours before the draft, and then people here started
• 35:24
  Speaker 7: hearing it because they had a day usually get deals
• 35:27
  Speaker 7: done before and he probably took less money to be
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: the number one pick. And I don't think that everyone
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: expected Holiday to go one, and he it actually fell
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: to a perfect.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Team for him and his family, Colorado one. They know well.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: But maybe he.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: Wasn't willing to take a little bit less, because what
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: I was hearing is he was gonna take maybe a
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: little less to be the one like his brother was
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: was one to one, but will it's apparently maybe.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Whatever probably took me, Eli Willis.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Here's my thing though, if you're going to make a
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: pick based on money over your board, which the National
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: claim he was number one, anyway, they have.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: To say that.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: I don't think Travis Bozana last year was number one
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: over some of the guys who went behind, I do not, Okay,
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: So that is my thing with.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: The number one overall pick is that you don't get
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: it often, especially nowadays with the lottery, you better nail it.
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: So if you're saving money to get someone later on,
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: that's fine.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: That works sometimes, but if it doesn't, catastrophe in my mind,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: if we look back and we say, how did they
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: miss on Ethan Holiday or Seth Hernandez and we go, oh, well,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: they save money for Joe Schmoe in round two and
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: he never made it, travesty.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: They're trying to spread their money out, trying to get
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the most they can out of it, and this is
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: not taking anything away from Eli Willis. Eli graduated high
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: school early to be able to go into the draft
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: when some people even in his own family, were like
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't he moved up to like top ten pick.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: He was on the top ten board pre draft, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you know what, he took advantage of it. But as
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: an organization, do you want to go all in on
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: one guy or do you say that's too much of
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: a crap. Shoot, we're just gonna because they're gonna all
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: spend their pull money.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not being cheap just for yeah no, no, no,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: that's all the time. But this money moves conversation. You
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: spend the money that you're giving for the draft.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I think I think the NAT's had like fifteen or
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: sixteen million. The highest was the Orioles Shocker. That just
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: build up pull money for the draft. But yeah, of course,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: so they're spreading that fifteen million out. Can they go
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: and get Joe Schmoe like you said in the third round,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: who says, no, I'm not signing for anything less than
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: a million. Well that's more than you're gonna get in
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the third round.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: So they go and get it.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: It's a it's a it's a move. But honestly, now
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: too nobody's around to take credit for it. Mike Criso's
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: not there.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well no, I mean they there.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Everyone else is still intact. I know what you're saying.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, but Rizzo did well, this is it's a fault.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Like if it doesn't work out, they can be like, oh,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: it's Rizzo's fault.
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but Rizzo didn't make this pick. The new GM
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: made this pick. So they'll be like, well he told
• 38:08
  Speaker 7: us to make the pick.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: No no, Because they negotiate with the guys pretty late,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: pretty close to change the day before.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: They were like, whoa, we can get him for save
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: four hundred, five hundred thousand, and we can use it.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Because you have to understand how the draft works. Now,
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: every kid is called before the draft and said, hey,
• 38:29
  Speaker 7: what what what's your number? Right, they call you and
• 38:33
  Speaker 7: say what's your number? And whatever number. Some kids price
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: themselves out of getting drafted at all because and then
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: and then so, but when you talk about the pool money,
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: it's about the top ten rounds. And after you get
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: past the ten round, you can offer creads. You can
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: take a twenty rounder and off from two million dollars
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: if you have it left over. So it's all about that, right.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: So that's why you'll see some kids that were it's
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: not about what round you're drafted in. It's about how
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: much money you'll accept because it doesn't matter. You can
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: be a first because teams will take college seniors the seven, eight,
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: ninth round, sign them for fifty grand and be like
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: we're gonna draft you and you have to sign for
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: fifty grand and you have nowhere else to go. They
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: have to sign, and then they save the slot money
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: and they can use it after the tenth round or
• 39:11
  Speaker 7: in the tenth round to get kids that they they
• 39:14
  Speaker 7: will they're willing to overpay for.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I want to know what seniors are getting now. As
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I signed, senior signed it like fift thousand, I think it.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: I think it's fifty. I think they have I think
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: it's like ten. No, I think it's I think it's thousand.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I signed for one thousand dollars and that was like
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the standard senior sign.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: I got a text JJ, we'll ask well act and
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: also what we're talking about as senior that's in the
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: fifth round versus a.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Senior, it doesn't matter, they'll do it. I'm telling you, no, No,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: I'm saying that the lower I think is still in
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: like the ten.
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Because what's the SPA because then you'd have all these
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: teams drafting a guy or two in the seniors and
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: saying one thousand dollars, like you got to get a
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: little bit of a nick to their money.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it can't be a thousand because it would
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: be too low.
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: Right well, because then then you have to then you
• 40:00
  Speaker 7: like the Brewers and the Orioles had the most fix.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: Right well, then they spend all their money on their
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: first five rounds or first five picks, and then they're
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: six through nine, they'd be like, oh, we only have
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: to spend one thousand dollars on these, right No, and
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: there I think it's fifty because they have to have
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: a little.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Nick where nick it's slot range. But either way, to me,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: the best story Ethan Holidays going to the Rockies. I
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: think it's cool. I think it's cool. One one b
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: best story. Two kids from the same high school get
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: picked in the first ten ricks, three kids in the
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: first round in the first round. That story is any
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: whin didn't win their state championship. That is, they got
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: more calm, the got more, they got more.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and when those three make the big leage on
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: the day, we know what question ag is gonna ask
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: them when they're on foul tarritory when you play first
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: county and how did you guys not win?
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: And with three of you, and not only that, how
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: did you guys all get to the same high school.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the part where you're driving.
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: The Evil kids are two of them, and the kid
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: next year supposed to better than his brother was. Do
• 41:09
  Speaker 7: you know Evil's third base coach for the Dodgers, his
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: two kids. Then they had seth Rnandez.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: They had the kid that went to some of them
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: coming in as a senior.
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: They went to the kid, the kid who went to
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: the Billy Carlson and went to the White Sox. And
• 41:20
  Speaker 7: those are three first rounders the next year Evil's brother.
• 41:23
  Speaker 7: And then they have a center fielder that's supposed to
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: be a high pick next year too.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: There's five.
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: You got five first round picks on a high school team.
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: You don't win, you're but they don't do a state game.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: They do like a Southern They didn't win.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: But still that's even more.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: Whatever didn't line up our pitching correctly for that one.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have Cethrnandez.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: That's crazy, But anyway, it was.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: It was a wild start to the draft for a
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: lot of people just even though there is more to
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: the story with how the money gets allocated for people
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: to understand, it was still while because Tyler Bremner wasn't
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: necessarily on many boards to go number two to the
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Angels and guess what he's actually starting on Friday for
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: the Angel for thee probably I said, hey, Bud Friday,
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: are you around, Yeah, okay, we need you to go
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: six on Friday if you're kidding.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: But if you get a call, if you get a
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: call from a team and it's the Angels, you're willing
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: to take less because of the history. If you're a
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: college kid, you're like, yeah, one hundred percent, I would
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: love to I think organization matters. I think Gage would
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: go into the Phillies. Well, a lot of guys will
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: say his, his stuff can play in the big Leaves
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: right now. Are the Phillies willing to do it or not?
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: You know, that's that's a reach because they have other guys.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: But if you're called it as a second pick and
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: you're like, no, I wanted six million dollars and they're like, well,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: the Angels want you, will you take five point five?
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: The Angels netto Christian Moore, Shanna will ben Joyce, all
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: dudes that got called up within the first year. Nobody
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: wants to go to the bushes.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to go to minor leagues.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: If I was playing right now, that would be the
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: number one team by far, because also it's not like
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: a mess of a friend.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, they haven't made the playoffs in a long time,
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: but like they'll spend on the roster. There's some good
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: names there. Right you get to play with trout and
• 43:13
  Speaker 5: you get called up to the show. If you're ready
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: to go, that's the most enticing place by far, I
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: agree easily. Wouldn't you feel that way? So if right
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: now you're in high school m hm, or let's say
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: college because they call it college.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Organization matter, organization matter.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: You're a college player in the SEC, you're like an
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: elite bat that could hitting the big leagues in a heartbeat.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: What's the number one team you're hoping, Pixie, No.
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: The Angel, especially if you're a college guy, if you
• 43:39
  Speaker 7: could be there that year. They were going to call
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: Christian worbup that year. They were, but he got hurt
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: because college.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Now, no, I don't say it is using is using
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: some of the development and organizations are like, oh, well,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: these guys have know how to read their track man,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: they know how to read what's going on. They're doing shifts.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: They have a pitch com not the same as a
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: big league PitchCom. But they're using things that guys are like, hey,
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: you know, or organizations are like, ah, this is easy.
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: We don't have to develop. We're not good at developing them.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: We'll pick them throw them up there.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: College is the new minor leagues. In some cases, they're
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: cutting minor league teams down, and then if you go
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: to the right school, your facilities are worlds better than
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: the minor league team that you're playing on.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Yes, but they're not teaching them. They're teaching them to win.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: They're not developing the player like you develop in the
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: minor leagues. Minor leagues doesn't do a good job of
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: developing players to win. Most organizations, some organizations keep prospects
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: together and go, yes, you're gonna stay together, you're gonna
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: learn to win, because there's this thing about winning, like
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you got to learn to win. But big but because
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: in college they're like, well, we could develop you, or
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: we could just do whatever it takes to win. That's different.
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: That's why dudes are throwing one hundred and forty pitches
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: in games.
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: True, True, I think there's a balance with some of
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: the schools.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: That's how they recruit guys and say, hey, we're gonna
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: take care of you, and we have a pitch lab
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: that twenty other Big League teams don't even have.
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: So come here right there.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: There's certain schools.
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: There's certain schools that are pitching schools, or certain schools
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: that are hitting schools, no doubt, you know they have reputations.
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: But for me, the organization is the thing, because organizations
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: will rush you if you get drafted. There's certain organizations
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: that hold guys down a little bit longer. There are
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: certain organizations that throw you right into the fire and
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: say go get them, and they in some new organizations.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Are better developing pitching. Some are better developing hitters.
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: My only thing with Ethan Holliday is it's really cool
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: and sentimental. But the Rockies are a mess right now,
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: and they they are one of the few teams that
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: I think are worlds behind on information.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: But has many He has his dad and if he hits,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: he'll bring him up.
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: He'll do his own thing, right, yes, and they know that.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, so it's different.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Okay, if you have more thoughts on the draft or
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: questions for us hot sheet coming up later, foul territory,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: drafted uniform, who is not game anyway? All right, let's
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: step aside. Richard Grisham is going to join us next
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: for some video game talk, and then we're going to
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: go over the all star starting lineups a little bit
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: later on at the truest stop by or in the battery, say,
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: what's a The way to buy, sell or trade your
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: cards is Arena Club. It is the top marketplace in
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: the biz to get that done.
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: And crats. We love the slab pack situation because rolling
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: through a ton of cards.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Physically opening them, finding all kinds of commons that end
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: up folded or in the garbage is old news. Why
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: not get a slab pack and get a chance at
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: a card wheth thousands of dollars.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: I was a common card.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: It's okay if you don't get me in your slab pack,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: because you put as little as twenty five dollars into
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: for a slab pack, and you could pull out something
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: that's worth thousands of dollars and it's a keepsake that
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: you get to like, wait, you know what, it might
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: be worth this much today, but I get to watch
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: the value grow.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: And right now, you can get twenty percent off your
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: first slab pack or card purchase by going to Arena
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: club dot com slash foul and use the code foul.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: That's twenty percent off your first card purchase or slab
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: pack at Arena club dot com slash foul code foul.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: All right, we're back. We got a minute. Let's do
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: a quick hitter question then we'll do our segment.
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: So just with the YouTube crowd right now, Andrew said,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: are you guys gonna talk about the Angels and Rangers
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: having no representatives at the All Star Game? And he said,
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: why would either fan base watch? Well, I mean you
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: can watch other players. I think we don't need every
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: team represented.
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: And now we're in a.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Position where Kikuchi's not pitching, so he doesn't go what
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: mlbs to just keep going down the line and ask
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: every Angel come on?
• 47:41
  Speaker 5: I think that part is a non story.
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: Sorry sorry to that fan base, but to me, it's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: it's not like they had their guys in. They could
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: show up and do the hat tip. I don't think
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: they need to. You don't want them pitching like they
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: just pitched.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you have the fans that don't want
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: their guys pitch. So it's like you can't make everyone happy,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: but they cannot satisfy all thirty.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: They get as close to it as possible. Do you
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: think they even need to make sure that all thirty
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: are represent it?
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: I don't either.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: An All Star would be better to answer that.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: I know it means something to some and you know
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: some kids are like, I want to see my guy there.
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: If the Rockies didn't have Goodman this year, should there
• 48:20
  Speaker 7: have been an All Star from the Rockies twenty two
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: wins or two and seventy four?
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Should they have had it all?
• 48:26
  Speaker 7: I look at the White Sox change Smith made it
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: cool story? Should he have made the All Star team?
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Say for him?
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: Player, you should complain about that part too, Hey, so
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: and so didn't make it. My guy didn't make it.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Because we're playing that. Everyone gets the metal game. Let's
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: slap we're doing those here. So today we'll have Hot
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Sheet coming up at three thirty Eastern time, so this
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: show ending in a few minutes, and then Hot Sheet
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: will get rolling. We're gonna go over the entire MLB draft,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: So if you missed anything or you want to be
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: able to tell your friends what you know some good
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: tidbit about the draft. Then Baseball America obviously is all
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: over the coverage there. JJ Cooper is gonna be sitting
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: next to me, and we'll have some friends joining us
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: remotely as well.
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: Starting lineups were announced already. Anything stand out to you?
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I like?
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: On the American League side, Labor Torrez leading off, sneaky,
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: great first half of.
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: So on base Machine, which I think really cranked in
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, he looked like a different version of himself
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: and then has carried that out into the first half
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: of this year.
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: He's on a one year proven deal.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: So American League's got Glabor, Riley Green, Judge, Raleigh Bladdie Junior,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: Rhin O'Hearn junior, Cameronaro, Hobby Bye as Jacob Wilson. And
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: then on the National league side, you're starting nine. Otani
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: will bat first, then Akunya could tell Marte three, Eddie Freeman,
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: Manny Machado, Will Smith, and then the last three are
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker, Francisco Lindoor and pc A, Peter Armstrong.
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: Come on, Tiger's won too. Tigers won too in the
• 50:10
  Speaker 7: American League. By the way, the lineup, that's awesome. Schooballs
• 50:13
  Speaker 7: starting three starters for the best record in the American League.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: And then the big thing.
• 50:16
  Speaker 7: What kind of ovation is Freddy gonna get when he
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: comes up to best, right, it'd be a long standing ovation.
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: Biggest hitting ninth.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: I'm the last same you think Pete r Arms are
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: hitting ninth.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Never never maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe last year when he first got bet, yeah, probably
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: still didn't hit him night.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, just is like a you know, a guy
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: to have some speed for the top of the lineup.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: You can steal bases maybe, but the lineup, it's not
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: even close. National League lineup is sorry. I mean, maybe
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: that means americ leg is gonna win, but that lineup
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: is predunculous.
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: I agree, it's definitely in favor of the n L.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter. A wins always no not.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's an American League guy usually the case.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: But is the n O one two in a row
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: or they went two years ago? Remember Elias Diaz was
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: the MVP like the most random.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: And I remember we all picked it.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: Who won last year?
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Jared Graham.
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, so American League one could win. Yeah, America League, yes,
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: al it does usually win.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: But this is like a showcase for kids. The pitchers
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: usually win because dudes just come out. I remember when
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Chris Sale came out, and you know, Chris Sale was
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: normally like a ninety six to ninety nine guy, and
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: he came out in the All Star Game was like
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: one hundred and one hundred and two. Like now, like, dudes, dudes,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: let it eat. So you're gonna see some just ridiculousness
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: and you're not working at bats. You're just hoping you
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: run into.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: One crats hats on the way out. And we're staying

  Speaker 1: is in the American League.

  Speaker 3: True, although there's now multiple teams catching them, including the
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: Red Sox who have won ten games in a row.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Haven't lost since he went to the Oval office.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Just say it.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: And how about the Brewers who have won seven games
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: in a row. There who's a damis lose.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: Devon Williams figure it out and now they have a
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: better starting rotation than anybody ever thought.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: And they have dudes.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: Chad Patrick was close to the NL Rookie of the
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Year voting. Yeah, he's in the bushes. That's right back
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: for a bonus three minutes. Dodgers territory coming up next.
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: We'll throw you to that YouTube channel and then hot
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: Cheet will be after that on the Baseball America YouTube channel.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: We love the YouTube crowd. Subscribe. This is a big
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: week for us. We're here in Atlanta, everyone working hard
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes. So while we have two and a
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: half minutes, let's give a little love to Toni three
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: innings this weekend. It's working his way back. I mean,
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: he looks as good as ever on the mound. I know,
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: short stints right now, but pumping a hondo top of
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: the zone breakers are good.
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's gonna be hard for them to hold
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: him back in the second half.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: True, true, they're.
• 53:07
  Speaker 7: Gonna and they need him too, so they keep just
• 53:09
  Speaker 7: adding guys slowly in inning inning, But he's starting to
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: mix more pitches in, starting to go deeper. The velocity
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: is held steady, so we'll see, But then we're also
• 53:17
  Speaker 7: gonna see how it is affects is hitting, because you
• 53:19
  Speaker 7: can't tell me it's not.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Going to at some point if if there's something that's
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: gonna take him to where I think he wants to
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: go to seven innings, where with the Dodgers it'll let
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: guys go seven innings. He if he wants to get
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: up to that point, based on what I've seen so far,
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: he needs to start putting guys away early. He's striking
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: out the side, but it's on like seventeen and eighteen
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: pitches an inning, and I don't think the Dodgers are
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: gonna allow his pitch down to get up high enough
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: to where I mean, let do you strike out like
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: seven straight guys between his last start and then this
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: start Like he's dominant. His stuff is dominant, and I
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: don't know if they'll ever stretch him out, if they'll
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: let him be seen more than no, they they.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: Will, you think.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: So here's why he's dictating because he wants to.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: He's going to say, listen, I'm feeling good, let me eat,
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: And what are they gonna do hold him back? He
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: signed up long term and they're trying to be the
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: first team in a quarter century to win back to
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: back World Series titles, and he might be their best
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: pitcher at that point.
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: He might be their best starter stuff wise. Is anyone
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: better than him?
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: Stuff wise?
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously they have guys that can keep up
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: with him if Snell gets healthy. Class now, Yamamoto is good.
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: They said Roki Sazaki could come back in about a
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: month he started throwing. But for me, if that version
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: of Sho Heo Tani is pitching for them in October
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: six innings please.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm just going based on the the track record
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: of the Dodgers.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: Heyj do you think that they're gonna have the power
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: to stop not stop him, but say, hey, we only
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: want you.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: To go four or five, no five and this year
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: because you're just coming back good.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: Do you think he will make a six inning outing
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: at some point in the regular season or postseason six.
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: Innings over under? Maybe regular season, but you think regular
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: season they'll get to six. Okay, he keeps going to
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: this pace, yes, Okay, I'm sure.
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: They'll talk about it coming up on Dodgers territory. So
