  Speaker 1: Don't bet on baseball. Don't bet on baseball. That's all
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I can say. Don't bet on baseball.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: If you're involved in an organization, don't bet on baseball.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Vegas is over. We miss it. This is one more
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: show until no Friday, no ft live on Friday. It
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: is a holiday called July fourth. We're honoring it, so
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: we will not do a live show. There's still content.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: We'll have stuff on social channels and YouTube and all
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: of that. Bron, Prazinski and Kratz the OG crew here today.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: We're so busy today, AJ that we're not going to
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: have time for this topic. So I'm going to bring
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: it up now for a minute. Tightest division race in baseball.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Is Central Central, Central, East East, Al East.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Al East. Three teams, really, three teams within a half
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a game of each other. Two of them are tied
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: in the Blue Jays and the Yanks. Blue Jays and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yanks had an awesome, awesome back to back or back
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: and forth battle. Yeah, straight judge with a two run
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: homer in the eighth and then they got to Devin
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Williams in the bottom of the frame. And now they
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: play again later today and AJ the Jays have a
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: chance to take over sole possession of first place. So
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to point out that a month ago
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: where like, well a least is done the Yankees.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yankees can't score except when they hit homers. And by
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the way, to the fan who sent me on Twitter,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge hitting a clutch homer, and my response was
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and they still lost, So like, don't at me with
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: like Aaron Judge hitting a homer when they still lose
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, it was a cool homer, it didn't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: give him the lead. And Aaron Judge is really good,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but this was more and I think, you know, direct
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: comment because of me saying that Cal Rawly is the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: first half MVP, not Aaron Judge. So this Yankee fan
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: was like, here's Aaron Judge hitting a clutch homer. In
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: my response, again, and they still lost. So yeah, they're
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: tied the razor on their heels. It's gonna be a
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: fun race because I don't think the Blue Jays are
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. I don't think the Rays are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: going to go anywhere. And I think the biggest thing
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is the Blue Jays are finally starting to play up
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: to the potential that we have all said that they've
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: had for years. And you know, Bow's swinging it good
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: body swinging at Springer's back. So they're playing well and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: they're pitching has always been pretty good when they figure
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: out the bullpen in Hoffman going over there has really
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: solidified late innings for them.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: There's no I mean, this division's up for grabs. This
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: division is the Yankees allowed other teams to get back
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in it. They were hitting very well. It wasn't just
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the homer early and it has just become just the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: homer and teams are coming in and they're really kind
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: of dismantling this lineup bit by bit, and it's allowed.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: The Rays are technically you look at the expected wins
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and everything, not just based on run differential. The Rays
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: are technically should be better than the Jays. Here we
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: shall see. This is the beauty of it. But I
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: would love to see from Ken who is the most
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: who's going to be the most active, because everybody thinks
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: all the Yankees they're going to make a huge splash.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: That the Yankees rarely go out and get at the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: trade deadline, go out and get a monster in the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: off season. They go out and get their big fellas.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I think the Blue Jays might get a monster if
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: they keep this up. This is their time to strike
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: one word of advice, aj before, one line of advice
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: before we get to news today. When you pick someone
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: over someone else, you're going to have fans come after
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: you and try to justify that that other player is
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: good at ball. No one ever says some people think
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: that you're like, oh, Judge sucks.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: No, you have to pick.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: For one award, and no one ever each an opinion.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: No one ever said anything about Judge and the biggest
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: pat on the back, the biggest guy behind had my back.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Kellan Botanzis is Judge's guy, and he agreed and said
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that Cal it's only because he's had historic first half. Now,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: this season's not over, but he's had a historic first
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: half and it's hard to just it's hard to win anyone.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And again, we're only halfway through, so we'll see. Listen,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Catcher's numbers usually fade in the second half. He actually
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: got a day off last night. But yeah, I mean
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: right now, today, now, a month from now, if Judge
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: keeps doing what he's doing and Raley falls off, it'll
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: go back to Judge. But I don't think this is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the slam dunk much like the Al East that we
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if Riley stays on this pace, I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: don't know what else a catcher can do historically to
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: win an MVP Award. But anyway, let's table that we
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: talked about it a lot. Let's get to some breaking
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: news today. Charge about So the Cleveland Guardians picked up
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Luis Ortiz in the off season and he's given them
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: almost ninety innings a valuable starter. It's not super effective
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: innings low for Zra, but he's eating innings for a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Cleveland team that has and treading water. They're forty and
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: forty four. Here's the news portion of it, non disciplinary
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: paid leave. The Guardians put out a statement this morning,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and then Ken Rosenthal and the crew over at the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Athletic is all over the story. Here's Ken specifically saying
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: that he's been placed on leave due to MLB betting investigation.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: So there is a probe going on right now. You
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: will not see or tease through the end of the
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: All Star break. So it's paid leave while they see
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: what's going on. And Ken, I was just on with him,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: wanted me to remind everyone that there is a chance
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that there is nothing to see here, but it is
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: serious enough that he is sitting out now. Remember last
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: year MLB banned San Diego Padres, infielder and utility guy
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: who had bounced around a little bit to Competa Marcana
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: for life for betting on his own team, and the
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: league also suspended four other players for a year for
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: betting on baseball MLB Onpirepat Hoberg was fired earlier this
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: year after it was learned that he shared sports betting
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: accounts with a friend who bet on baseball games. This
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: would be the highest profile case. It's not a household name,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: but aj I mean, he's an effective starter, twenty six
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: years old, coming over from the Pirates and contributing to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the Guardians this year. Again, I don't want to speculate.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: This could be absolutely nothing, but we at least know
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: that there is a probe going on and the investigation
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is related to gambling of some form.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about it. Just Rob Manfreid will you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: get rid of if you get suspended.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Rob Manfreid will feel bad in a couple months years
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and he can come back. So what's the big deal?
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, right, I mean, Pete Rose, you can come back.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Who cares? You're good?
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Pete Sorry, place you're good. If this comes out to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: be something bad, they're fine. They're good, they're good. Well well,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: not well, not well, not well. This is rule number one.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I've been saying it from day one, Scott. There's no well, well, well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: if you bet on baseball, you're out of the game.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a I can come back.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: You're out. That's it.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. That's the way it should be. Toukipeda, what's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his name, Tuka Marcano.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: But but he's he's going to be reinstated according to
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the new rule that Manford came up with on the fly.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: He'll be reinstated after his life ends.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I mean that's how was was banned for life. He
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: got reinstated after a few years. I mean, he's not
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: back in baseball. I mean it was in for gambling
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it some else, right.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: He was on the permanently ineligible.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: That's what Pete Rose was on. That's what Pete Rose
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: was on. Don't bet on baseball. Don't bet on baseball.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: That's all I can say. Don't bet on baseball. Don't
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: bet on bait. Don't let if your friends bet on baseball,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: don't bet on baseball while you're playing. That's it. If
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you're involved in an organization, don't bet on baseball.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Hey, this episode is sponsored by Hewle, So I'm gonna
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: take a sip while Todd Father tells you about Hewele
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and Todd Father, you asked me, when should I drink it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: They'll tell you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Really, it's the best thing for you before a workout,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: after a workout, whatever you're feeling like. Sometimes I'll just
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: drink this just because because it tastes that good. The
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: flavor is very good, It's gonna make you feel it's
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: gonna fill you up to good protein, and it's very appetizing.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: So for you people out there who are starting to
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: work out or have been drink this, you're gonna feel
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: very much energized and very much full, which is a
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: great thing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, people that are having problems, you know, not having
• 8:25

• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Try quel today for complete nutrition. Okay, So again I'll
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: keep reminding everyone we're talking about this in general. This
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: player might not be convicted of anything according to MLB's
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: mini court that they play, but it is worth the
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: conversation because we did have situations like this pop up
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: last year. We've had this situation pop up in other sports.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I've got two questions for youcrats. One is do you
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: think that leagues need to do a better job not
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: just of education, but of preventing problems from happening. So
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: here's one idea I came up with this morning. You
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: have to sign up on the apps and give quite
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a bit of information. There is enough technology out there
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: to be able to isolate certain phones or accounts. So
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I know that players are allowed to bet on other sports.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: If you're a baseball player, you can bet on football
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: on the app. Stuff like that. Should we just say, hey,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: during your playing career, you can't bet on any sports
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: and just wipe the fact that you can't even have
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: an app on there and you're not even allowed to
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: sign up, then you would be resorting back to if
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: you are gambling, the illegal gambling that's been going on
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: for decades and decades, which was part of why regulation occurred,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: which is also why we're catching more people. These people
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: in the past that did things like this, we're still
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: able to place bets, right I've got friends who've bet,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: who've plays bets for twenty years on apps and they
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: never got caught. Players I'm talking about there are definitely
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: players out there who did bad things and there was
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: no way to regulate it because it was an underground
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: situation and most of that money was being funneled illegally
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: or all of it was so anyway, Krat's thoughts on
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: how we can better prevent situations like this from popping
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: up for players.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: The answer is not eliminating it from players, because then
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: exactly what you said will happen. They'll go to illegal sites,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: illegal bookmakers, all that stuff that will end up getting
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: them in trouble because they're going to be they're going
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to be connected to bed people or people that will
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: get put them down the wrong path. To me, all
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of these sites have. I don't know. We don't know
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: louis this situation. We don't know what happened, But I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: know some of the other ones, you know, kind of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: tied to the player. We need to educate the player
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: a little bit better because this is a huge thing.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You can't just read I forget what it is. Rule
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: forty one or whatever it is. We've read it every
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: spring training and I still forget what the rule number.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: We can't just read it. We have to make sure
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: everybody understands what that means. You sign up for an account,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you are now connected to the gambling site that has
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to give you the risk of clicking on
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: the baseball side of it. To me, the second part
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of it is all these teams have connections with all
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: these different sites. Each team has a different connection to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: different sites. You get an account as a player, the
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: team then connects you with said site, and they can
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: just eliminate the baseball portion of it. No way you
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: could possibly from your account. Anybody else could hack it,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: anybody else could use it anything bet on baseball. If
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: we're not willing to take that extreme of an effort,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: then we just can't have players gamble but then I
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: think that just means you know, they're going to find
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: other ways to do it in other sports, you can't.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: You can't just go and have a guy on a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: team get an app and say take away Baseball, because
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: then they get traded and the other team is traded
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the other team is one is by this group and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the other is by this group.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: So you can't.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: So then when they switch teams, then they have to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: go to a different app.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Like no, no, no, that's at.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You can you can keep the same app. I don't
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: care what it is. I don't care what company it is.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: The one that you sign up for as a baseball player,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: then we have connections. You just eliminate the baseball portion
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of your of your betting site. That helps players still
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: be able to bet on basketball, football, on Wimbledon right now,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: on soccer, but they have no access to getting into
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: their baseball part of their account. Doesn't matter what team
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: they're on. I just meant like the Pirates have a
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: connection to that company, and this team has a connection
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: to that company. It doesn't matter. You can go on
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: that app, doesn't have anything to do with the team affiliation.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's just they have a connection. Hey, we have a
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: player here, We have twenty six players that want to
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: download your app. I need you to eliminate the baseball
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: part of their site.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this would be an MLB thing aj where MLB
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: would have an agreement and say hey, let's get that off.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: I actually do see this point because sometimes you can
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: hit those those quick parlays and they'll combine sports. It
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: can get very complicated very quickly. So it's like, hey,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: per league, let's just if these guys want to do it,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: we inform them and educate them that there's a way
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: to do it, or we have your name linked, or
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: we are able to take that portion off of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: app so it's not in front of your face, and
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: so that you don't press a wrong button. That would
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: eliminate that situation.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, they're not pressing wrong buttons. These got Pete Rose.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: These guys did not press the wrong button. They bet
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: on baseball, don't bet on baseball.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: You can have whatever the frick app you want. I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: listen every day on the show. We have to do
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a lot in the day, right, But I never in
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: my life thought of placing a bet when I was
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: playing or a part of an organization, as a front
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: office person, as whatever you want to call it, because
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: it's wrong and as far as article twenty one goes krats,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: they read it to you and they make sure you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: sign something. So unless you weren't paying attention, I don't
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: know how you weren't educated enough. It says don't bet
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: on baseball. When you walk into clubhouse, it says, don't
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: bet on baseball.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Please.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You can bet on what football, you can bet on
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. So basically we're gonna give them a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: pass because they didn't check their parlay. Well, then you're
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: just dumb. I'm sorry, because every day when I send
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: my bets in, I have to check to make sure
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it's the right bet. And then Claudia goes, are you
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: correct with this bet?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Yes? Thank you. Okay.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Now we're gonna put it out there for the world
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to see how good or bad we are at it. Okay,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: but don't give me like people aren't educated. You're not
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: educated because you didn't pay attention. Because this happens every
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: spring training in every clubhouse. You get called up, you're
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: not big Ley camp, they make you sign an article
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: twenty one. They read it to you're sitting there So
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the education bar is like steroids to me. If you're
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: not educated, it's because you don't care and you just
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: don't care about breaking the rules. And as far as
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: like getting an app and taking it away, Okay, fine,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: you can't take away every app because you know what
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they're gonna do. If they want to bet that badly,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: they're gonna go to their friends app and use it,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: or they're gonna go to their cousins app, or their
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: uncle's app, or their grandfather's app, or their whatever app
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: they can find it has baseball. If they want to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: bet on baseball this badly, you don't care, They're gonna
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: find a way to do it, or they're gonna go illegal.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: So by saying let's take it away, like that's like
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: saying I don't know, there's so many things that you
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: could run off of this. I don't have en off
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the top of my head. But let's not Oh okay,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: we don't want car accidents. Let's take away cars. We
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: don't want you know this or that, Well, let's take
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: that away. Well guess what, that's not real life because
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Great point, That's why I brought it up. I'm trying
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: to think of ways that we can prevent this. Also,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: let's keep in mind we're not getting names floated out
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: every week every month, like we've had one situation that
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: popped up significantly last year in baseball. We don't even
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: know if this is a real situation yet in terms
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: of a conviction. This is just an investigation right now.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: It's not like it's popping up left and right. The
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: one thing I just want to make sure we stress
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: because you guys are players. You've been in a clubhouse,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: you played for you know decades, right, You've spanned decades
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: in terms of your playing career. Let's not act like
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: before regulation of betting companies and sports betting outside of
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Las Vegas, that guys didn't place bets. Right, Some fans
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: will be like, well, now you can just hop on
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: your phone. I'm like, you could do that for the
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: last twenty years, unless you're an idiot. You ask one person, Right,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: It's like it's like weed for the last twenty years.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: It's like you could get that pretty easily over the
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: last twenty years before they started making it legal. Right,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: It's like ask one friend and they know a guy.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: It was this same thing with betting, So AJ, did
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: you know people that bet on, say football games or
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: other things before it was legal? Thank you? Because some
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: people are like, oh well there's an app. I'm like,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you could do that. People used bookies for decades. You're
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: stupid people that going on.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: We were just in Las Vegas, right, And there's certain
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: city states where betting isn't legal on app. In Florida,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: there's one app you can use. It's hard rock. Okay, sorry,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that's the facts. Those are the facts. You can use
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: hard rock. You know how many people I know that
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: don't bet on hard rock and they do it another way.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: There's apps out there that are funneled through we all
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: know this funnel through other countries. And then there's people
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that you know, if you don't pay, it's like the movies,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: they come and get you. Right, bet is what it is.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, that's real life, okay, But to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: people bet, yes, listen, there's pools and for the basketball,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: there's pools for golf, there's pools for football, there's fantasy football.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: You think money's not passed around, and they say, heck,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: we saw Tommy Fams slap Jock Peterson over fantasy football.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You see more arguments and fights and things over fantasy
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: football then you do over baseball. Half the time. It's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: but it's not baseball. You just can't bet a baseball.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Don't bet on baseball.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Point taking.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And they need to make the rules. They need to
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: make the punishments strict. What AJ feels is the you
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: can yell and scream all you want, but if you
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: don't make the punishments strict, guys are gonna always just
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: tow the line a little bit.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, a.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Lifetime isn't strict enough. I don't understand what what other?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: What other? What else can you do? You're automous.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I'm saying they need to make sure that they stay
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: strict because Scott asked me what they what we need
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: to do from now on? They need to make sure
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: they stay strict because he let the door open a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: That well, lifetime band means until you die, Well, it
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: means until you apologize, or it means it's like, you
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: need to make it strict so everybody stays away.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Steroids wasn't strict enough. Dudes are doing it because they're
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: still getting paid. Has to be strict that's.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: A good point. That's a good point. By the way,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: fantasy football, when you're dropping tens of thousand dollars like
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: players do, that's betting.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Again, I'm not saying it's not. And I'm fine, listen,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I know, but it's fall I still play fantasy football, Listen.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I think golf pools. I was in golf Listen. Who
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: was it that who? He had a guest the other
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: day that was like, oh, this guy ran all the
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: pools who. I forget who it was. I don't know
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: who the guest was we had, but we had a guest.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It was like, oh, so and so was the runner
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of the pools in every clubhouse they were in, right,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the way it is because it
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: breaks up the monotony of the baseball season, of every day.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: So you go in there and the Masters is on,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and there's a pool of guys pick five golfers and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: everyone throws in twenty bucks or whatever it is. And
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: at the end, I mean, they do it in every
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: office in America. Right, But you just can't bet on baseball.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You can do whatever you want. I don't care what
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: you do as far as just don't bet on baseball.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're unrealistic fans. I'm sure we'll get one or
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: two in the comments that it's like they shouldn't allow
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: any betting of any kind and drinking and just any
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: any other vice in life. Right, we're just gonna all
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: sit and read a book in the library every day.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: You're being unrealistic. So make sure you take a step
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: back and really listen to what AJ said. There's one rule.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: It's just while you're playing. Follow it anyway. We'll see
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: what happens. Louis Ortiz again.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Or if you work for too, if you work like
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: after Post, if you're cod yes, so if you're involved

• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Here's some foul territory breaking news. We have more on
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: the investigation with Major League Baseball looking into Luis Ortiz,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: the Guardian's right handed pitcher. He is being looked at
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: for two individual pitches, one on June fifteenth, another on
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: June twenty seventh. They were flagged by a betting integrity firm.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: So they have firms like this that look into anything suspicion.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: And I don't have the rest of the details because
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: we're on the show right now, but Aja, I will
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: speculate a little bit. If you're looking at those two pitches,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: you can live bet on what a pitch is going
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to look like to start an inning, and it looks
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: like it was those two pitches to start an inning.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I think they were both pitches that were way off
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the plate. And what can happen here just knowing how
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: these firms work is they can find out if there's
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: been heavy, heavy activity on something like that, it's suspicious,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: and then you can start a real investigation. Here's the
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: two pitches. Not very competitive to start innings.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very random too. It's the first pitch of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: certain innings and it was a ball or a hit batsman,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and both of them that he threw were not close.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Now listen, this is not him gambling on baseball like
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: we talked about, like where he's betting on his team.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: This would fall into like the integrity of the game.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And you're telling people and again this is I'm not
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: saying he did this, okay, but this is what they're
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: looking at. This goes back to the integrity thing. Where
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: basically somebody he told someone, Hey, on the second inning,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw a ball first pitch, and dit a
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: bet on it. And that's what it looks like. They're
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: trying to see if that's what happened, not seeing it happen,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of what they're looking at. It's and
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: if it's a live betting, this is where what can happen.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And that's why baseball is trying to curtail the betting
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: on baseball and every other sport because you don't want
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: to question the integrity of the game.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Hold up, that is betting on baseball though, No, no, no,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: but I mean not betting on your team.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: It's a different thing than people think about, right, meaning
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: like wins and losses. Like well, we talked about Pete Rose.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: He was betting on his team to win or lose. Right,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: This is a different way of it. But it's not
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the typical like betting that people talk about.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: It's actually scarier because it's one that you can control more.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: And this stuff has happened before too, same thing. You
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: go back to the offshore books and all that, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: you can do individual, individual micro bet stuff like this.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: So again we're in a situation where we might have
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: caught something and that it's at least flagged.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: And it also has to do with people need to
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: understand has to do with the amount that was weirdly
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: bet on that pitch on those two specific pitches, not
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: just like oh, I've seen pitchers throw yard darts. Don't
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: just look at every Oh man, that guy, he definitely
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: threw a yard dart on that one, you know where
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: it's like the dot is in the grass on the
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: on the screen, like it's because the two matched up,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Like that's weird. There was a lot placed on that
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: individual pitch, so who knows. And this is not another thing.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I think people need to understand. This is not a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball thing, Like Major League Baseball is not
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: covering this up, like this is an investigation outside of
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. They're just placing him on leave right
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: now until it is cleared up.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the alerts were flagged for bets in Ohio, New York,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: and New Jersey betting on the result of the first pitch.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but to me, let's say the guys whoever's hitting
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: swings it, he made. What they're saying is basically he
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: knew what someone What they're looking into is if somebody
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: got to him and said, hey, first pitch in this inning,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: can you throw a ball right? And then he throws,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: you know, so far out that even whoever's hitting couldn't
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: swing at it to make sure it was a ball.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: That's that's what they're questioning, not saying he again, not
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: saying he did it, not saying that at all, but
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that's what the investigation is about.
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and if that does prove to be the case,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: then that probably will be you're betting on baseball, you're
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: banned from.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: The game's fixing.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Fixing a game fixing, you're fixing a game.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: They have good systems in place. So for example, let's
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: say they look at Ohio and they're like, usually the
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: average handle on betting first pitch in an inning or
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: the third inning is ten thousand dollars total, right from
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands of people whatever. They might be like, wait,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: there was a million dollars placed aggregate on this particular
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: pitch that gets flagged. That's how you catch things. We've
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: caught some people in college baseball doing things where they're like,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: why is this random midweek college baseball game getting so
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: much handle. That's how things get flagged. And sometimes there
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: are people that are really smart and they try to
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: spread it out across a number of books, and then
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: you have these integrity firms that have all of the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: books working together, or they at least have access, and
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: that's how you're able to look at this as an
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: investigation both for a league, and this stuff can turn
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: into criminal investigations as well. Keep all of that in mind.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: The coach at Alabama, I remember a couple of years ago,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: got in trouble and got fired for a game against
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: LSU that got flagged just like this, where his friends
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: allegedly bet on Alabama losing and the coach was somehow involved.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know the details, but it's kind of the
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: same thing, right. It's like we have a meeting. We
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: used to have a meeting in spring training with Michael
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Frances He was a mafia guy, right, and he would
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: come in and talk about how they used to get
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: guys to throw games or set up games or whatever,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: rig games, whatever it was. And you'd be like, if
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: someone approaches you about this, don't do it, say no,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: do not get involved in this. You know, don't bet,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: and then you owe money and then they come to
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you and say, hey, let's set up this game, you know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And it was there was a basketball team whatever, Boston College.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I think that they did whatever. I mean, there's once
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: people get behind the eight ball with money or whatever
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: it is, and then they will got to catch you up.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: You know that if it's illegal or even legal, Hey
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I got to make money fast boom. But it's not
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: the way to go. Don't try it. And but the
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: MLB used to have it. Mafia guy come in and
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: talk to us about this too, and they told us
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: this is something I think some guys forget. If anybody
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: ever approaches you as a player about this, just tell
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: somebody or else you don't tell them, you can be
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: considered liable. Like it's just it's it's saving just.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Dotting dotting, all your eyes, crossing on your teeth, that's it.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Just make sure you don't get it involved with this
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: While we have two minutes, What about the impact for
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: the guardians. Oh there you go, Krats, you can drink
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: some cuel we'll talk about this. I mean, aj, it's
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: almost ninety innings. I mean, he's in every you know,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: he's in the rotation He's a back end starter right
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: low four Zra for a Guardians team that's forty and
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: forty four cheering off. One of their exacts in the
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: front office was on Jim Bowden's show on the radio
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: the other day and said, Hey, I think we're more
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: of a second half team. Well, but are going I
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: mean they're within a few games of a wildcard spot.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: This definitely hurts. Is it a major hurt? No? But
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: where you at on the Guardians there are.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Four games out of a wildcard behind one, two, three,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: four or five five teams. So I mean they're not
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: catching the Tigers. They're fourteen, they're twelve and a half
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: behind the Tigers. They're not catching the Tigers this year.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Can they get in the wildcard?
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I mean sure, But so does the Rockies. I mean,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: come on, let's be serious.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: No stop Rockies.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I mean, I know, I'm just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: saying that. The Guardians. As much as we love Stephen
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Vode and we love some of the guys, I mean
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: I know they're going to get Biaver back at some point.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Their offense doesn't score enough. Other than Jose Ramiroz. Losing
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Naylor was a big deal. I'm sorry, and their pitching
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: hasn't been as great as it was last year, and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: their pitching has to carry them and right now it's
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: not doing it. So I don't I mean, losing a
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: guy that was what two to nine with a four
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: and six c R as a hurk as you lose innings.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: But I feel like they the Guardians have done a
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: good enough job of bringing guys up through their system
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and find someone else to do that.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, this is concerning aj Rapiel Devers has struck out
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: twenty four times in fifty five at bat since being
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: traded to the Giants. He's hitting two hundred with five
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: extra base hits. That tweet yesterday from Bob Nightingale. Do
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: you think this is something to keep an eye on
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: or did we see this at the beginning of the
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: season from Devers and then he adjusted to a new environment,
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: which was being a DH This is a new team.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: But is he one of the guys that just needs
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: a little time to adjust to change.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's trying too hard. I mean, he got traded.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: He wanted to prove to Boston that he was not
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: what they said he was. So he's in a new
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: team and this happens to a lot of guys. They
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: go to new teams and they take a little while,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: especially in the middle of the season. How many guys
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: go to a new team and we're like, man, he's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: not as good as he was on the old team. Well,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: because it's an adjustment period. Everything is different and you
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: try too hard, especially if you're Roffie Devers and you're
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: a star in this league and then you just went
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: through what you went through, and now you get traded
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: to a new team and they put all these expectations
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: on you. Just give him some time. He'll be fine.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: He'll be fine. I mean, it's not like he didn't
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: strike out in his career. I mean, look at his strikeouts.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, he strikes out a lot. So to see
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: him striking out is not that big of a deal.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: He'll figure it out. Just give him a little bit
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: of time, let him settle in. He'll be fine.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Could be worse. Ask Red Sox fans what he did
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: he did the start the season fifteen of eighteen or
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: fifteen of nineteen. So I feel like he's kind of hot.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Kratz. I am actually in the market for a new car. Yes, wow,

  Speaker 3: gurus dot com, c A r g U r us
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: dot com. We just learned about I believe our third
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: participant in the Home Run derby coming up. And I
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: think it also helps once you find out that you're
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: going to be an All Star. Ohthough wait, I don't know,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: did he officially get announced yet or no? James Wood
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: by the way, is making the derby.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: He's not announced yet.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: No, Okay, well he's going to be an All Star.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: James Wood is in the derby and he will join
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: cal Raley and Ronald Acuna Junior.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: This makes sense, totally young star and hopefully it makes
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: my arena club go up. Yes, I love this. We
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: want young guys that are stars on the rise to
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: do this and we want to see him. That's why
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I hope Junior Kevanaro gets in.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Also from somebody I talked to with the Nats, his
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: home run like his swings in VP, even when he's
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: not trying to hit homers, he hits homers. These are
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: the kind of guys that do it, especially when you
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: get a young guy in there like that. Knats fans
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: don't worry. It's not going to ruin his swing. It's
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: not like he'll be fine, like he's like sixteen years old,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: but he's got ridiculous pop to every part of the ballpark.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: And from a marketing perspective, I know James isn't necessarily
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: worried about this, but for the games purposes, this looks
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: like a guy who's going to be a star for
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: a long period of time, more people need to know
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: who he is. Great opportunity is to do a home
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: run derby early in your career. The Nationals haven't been
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: good for years now, what is new to the scene.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: This is his first full year perfect. So first off,
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: I want to announce a giveaway contest opportunity. It's on
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: chat BCC. It's a trivia game that they whipped up

• 34:28
  Speaker 3: give giveaways out their contest form as much as possible.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: So I'd like to see how AJ and Kratz do.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I'm going to participate in the trivia game a little
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: bit later on, but we can't win, so one of
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: you can go play and whoever has the best score.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: If there's a tie, we'll do a drawing with the
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: people who finish at the top. Good luck to you all.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: If you won the jersey, what jersey would you wear?
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Me?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Krats?
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Which team? Can't just say Krats?
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: All of them custom.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Costa, just a bunch of like a like a NASCAR
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: looking jersey, just tons of team names on it. Logos.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Have you seen when someone shows up with the fifty
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: to fifty it's the most It makes the most sense
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: when it's like a parent and they've got two kids playing.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: But sometimes you even see fans do it. So I
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: would do one where they have to do whatever twelve organizations,
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: split them all up, and then I'd put Crats on
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: the back and maybe maybe the front. The front would
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: say Grinder and would just have the little logos all
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: at the top. AJ didn't play for enough teams for
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: it to really go viral. I mean you played for
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: a good chunk of teams, but krats how many organizations? Twelve?
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: I mean nine in the big leagues. But if you
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: do all fourteen organizations that I played for, you gues
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: some minor league jerseys. But who would aj wear because
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: it's not a Florida jersey? Who would you wear?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd probably watch. I'd probably get a you know what,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: I'd probably get a show Hey jersey and get him
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: a sign up for me. That's probably what I would
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: do that next time I do a Dodgers game, I'd
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: sneak the I'd sneak the show Hey jersey and say, hey,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: show Hey, we signed this for me, please pretty please,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: and hanging.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: On my wall.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sell it, but I would probably what
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I would go with. I think that's what I was
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: leaning towards.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Okay, I was gonna ask you you would do show Hey,
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: and then you guys are going to try to make
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: it get it signed.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Or the or the show hey, the one with the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: gold letter for the whin I'm winning the World Series one.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: That's a little more rare than just the regular jersey.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: We're getting All Star game jersey and have him sign
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: it something like that, be cool.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: What about a Kevin Pilar Rangers jersey? So let's get
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: the KP here. We had him on the show yesterday.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: He was great, announced his retirement. We started asking him
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: about his play this year and being briefly on the Rangers.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: By the way, KP will be hosting an upcoming show
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: very soon this month, so look out for the exact
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: date shortly. But let's roll aps comments. First.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: I thought they would be a little bit tighter as
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: a group. I thought it would be like, you know,
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: kind of like my experience in Atlanta that was probably
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: one of the tightest groups since uh, you know, I
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: was in in Toronto. It's like everyone just you know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: pulled on the same rope. Everyone wanted to hang out,
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: everyone wanted to do everything together. Everyone, you know, winning
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: was the most important thing every day. And you know,
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: when I got in the clubhouse in Texas and there's
• 37:36
  Speaker 6: a there's a lot of talent in there, and there's
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: just a lot of individual stuff going on. A lot
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: of guys are doing their own thing. You might not
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: see people till the game goes on until yeah, guys.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Are kind of just doing their own thing.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: Whether they have their own room and and and there's
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: not a knock against people that have their own routines, right,
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: Some people, you know have routines where they do like
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: training room and they do their own in the weight room.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: You know, they have everything kind of timed out. You know,
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: as you get older in the game, you were in
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: that right to kind of like, this is how I
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: go through my routine.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: No BP, Yeah, not.
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: A lot of VP, not a lot of you know,
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: stretching together. And I just felt like maybe for me
• 38:18
  Speaker 6: just being kind of the outcast because a lot of
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: the it's a lot of the same guys there that
• 38:21
  Speaker 6: won the World Series, So maybe I was kind of
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: on the outside. I was kind of looking more of
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: a way to kind of, you know, get in that
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: inner circle and a lot of that times that comes to,
• 38:30
  Speaker 6: you know, stretch and VP where you know, you talk
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: about things other than baseball, you get to know guys
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: a little bit more.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: And then Chris Young, who's leading the front office and
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: is a former player and led the team to a
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: World Series title in twenty twenty three with the roster
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: that he helped to construct. So did John Daniels, who
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: he replaced. Anyway, he said, quote, Kevin's a really good guy.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think he means to cause any harm. I
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: think he just probably got asked a question in a
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: moment and gave an answer without maybe understanding of the
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: repercussions for the team. He's a good person, and you know,
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I wish him the best and we're grateful for what
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: he provided to the Rangers. AJ, what are the repercussions
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: for the team. It's not that big a deal.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a I don't have I mean,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: he said what he thought. I don't understand what the
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: repercussions were. You know, if you're on the team, you
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: just come on and say, we listen, he's not here
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: anymore and we move on. But that's his thoughts. And
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't think what he said. It was just his opinion.
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: He just he didn't bash anybody. He didn't name names.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: He just said, hey, I thought it would be closer.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: It was different experience, Listen. I was on seven big
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: league teams. Every experience, every year was different from one
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: year to the next. It wasn't the same. Guys come
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: and go, Guys lose, Guys change, But that's the way
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: big league baseball is now. Guys don't hit on the field.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: We know this.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Guys have their own hitting coaches, Guys have their own
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: pitching coaches. Guys are in the training room, Guys are here.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: There's so many places now in these clubhouses to hide.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't think this was that bad what he said.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, Chris Young has to respond, like Kevin Grant said,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: because it kind of called the culture into question and
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: they're not winning. But if if you know the Rangers guys,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of talkers, and that's not
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. That's what the Rangers have Simi and Sieger,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: even to Graham Ofvaldi, they're not big talkers. They're not
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: really throwing it out there a lot. That's the culture
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: they have, so that's the way they work. They won
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. It hasn't worked last year,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: it hasn't worked so far this year. But every team
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: is different. Kevin went in with one thought, it was
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: a different way. I went into certain teams thinking it
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: was one way, and it was different. It's just the
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: way baseball is.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: It definitely is clubhouse the clubhouse, but it's also like,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: how does that clubhouse assimilate somebody from the outside. It's
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: easy for them to be like, oh, Jacob de Gram,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: like welcome dude, Like we won a World Series last year,
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: like welcome in. This is gonna be so great, And
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: then like the twenty twentieth to twenty fifth man, how
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: do they bring them in? KP was there on a
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: forty five day contract. They don't see him as like
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: a long term piece. But how do you assimilate everybody
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: into this group? Because everybody will tell you that when
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: you win a World Series, when you make it to
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: a World Series, that group is always tighter than years
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: that you lose. Nobody you can't fake that. You can't
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: fake it. I've never been on a losing team or
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: a five hundred team that was like, man, that was
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: just the best group of guys I've ever been a
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: part of. Like, no, you have a better time winning,
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and they weren't winning. And KP was just telling you
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: what he felt. He saw some pretty brutal like togetherness
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: teams with the Blue Jays early and then they all
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: started coming together in fifteen sixteen they started being playoff teams.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: He saw it with the Braves. He mentioned it there.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: That's how you win, you bring everybody and everybody feels
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: like they're a part of it, and he didn't feel
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: like they're a part of it. Don't about Sea Why's comments.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's like, you know, maybe it's something that
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: see Why hasn't seen, or maybe he has seen it
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: and he didn't want to say no, that's not how
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: it is here because maybe he knows it's true.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: Fans are going to look at things. They're just the
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: general public's going to look at things and be like, oh,
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: KP's accusing the Rangers of being selfish. Well, news flash,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: every player has a level of selfishness. They have to
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: have some individual statistics to back up what they're doing
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: to an extent, or they're not going to be on
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: a big league roster. I mean, the team can be
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: absolutely thriving, but if you are not, you're going to
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: be in trouble.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: In n T and see that. Now that's that I
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: kind of if the team is winning, you kind of
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: get a different pass. Your numbers look better. If you're
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: on one hundred and fifteen win team and you don't
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: have the year you had, people find ways to say, well,
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he contributed in other ways. Now if you're one hundred
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: and fifteen lost team. Then they're like, man, what's wrong
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: with this guy? Well, you know, he didn't have the year.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: He's part of the problem. If you win, and craszle
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: back me up on this, if you win, it cures everything.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: You can have the worst year of your career and
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: everybody's just like he was on the World Series winning team,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: and then the next year you get kind of.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: A pass, right.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: But if you're on a bad team and you do crappy,
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: that's when you're like, I don't know about this guy.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, they what you did to help the team,
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: But I'm giving you guys that the examples that pop
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: up pretty frequently, like last year, jose Bray, you again
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: not playing well on a playoff team, and they're like,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: we need to make the playoffs, we need to keep
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: getting ourselves better.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: This is what they were playing. They were playing. That's
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: a bad example because they played terrible. They got off
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: to an awful start. He couldn't even catch a ground
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: ball at first, so they had to awful at the beginning.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: They were awful until they got rid of them, and
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: then they took off.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, but you're talking about wins and losses. What about
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Lamont Wade this year? Not hitting? Giants were in a
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: great spot in terms of wins and losses. They need
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: to improve the offense to keep continuing down the line,
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: and they're like, hey, this is a guy we're gonna cut.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: He was the spot I'm talking about. He was the
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: spot that they could get rid of and find someone else.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Though that's you're nitpicking players here and there. Right, I'm
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: talking about a team that's going really well for a
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: long stretch of time, and I'm not saying you have
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Lamont Wade was having an awful year, which is fine,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: But the Giants what did they need? They needed offense.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: If you're we'll use or we'll use Let's see Orlando
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Arcia with the Braves the last couple of years. Right,
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: he wasn't great offensively, but they were like, oh man,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: we're winning, but his defense is really holding the middle
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: infield together and.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: This and that.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Right, there's ways you can figure it out. But if
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: you're just there's also a line scout where you're just
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: so bad the team doesn't care and they're like, listen,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: we got to find somebody else. And that happens too.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, That's not where I was trying to go. The
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: other thing is there was a lot of comments like, oh, well,
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: you know he got cut, so he was pissed going
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: after them. I'm like, he played a long time. He
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: could have played the whole season with them and not
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: played a lot and then still said the same thing.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: And he did that with the braves, right, He wasn't
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: getting a ton of playing time with the braves, and
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: he pointed out how he felt like there was a
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: lot more cohesion and the braves are a mess this
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: year too. So anyway, all right, Harry's is going to
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: get an award here MVP in the shaving world, and
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: aj if you want to equate it to things that
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: we talk about, it's not expensive and it's super versatile
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: right the company itself, because there's other products that you

• 46:08
  Speaker 3: we're back, and so is Big WU. This weekend, Brandon
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Woodriff is scheduled to return to a big league mound
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: for the first time since twenty twenty three. He's going
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: to start on Sunday in Miami. Krats. I'm sure he's pumped.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: We got to get him on maybe soon after that.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the text is out there. I asked him. It's
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: been a long journey. He's been upbeat through part of it.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: He's been super frustrated through part of it, and obviously
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: the elbow shot that he took him a comebacker was
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: a level of frustration, but just kind of like hearing
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: what other people are saying, hearing what he was saying,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: it might be a blessing in disguise in the sense that, Okay,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: he gets to ramp it back up again because now
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: it's go time. Now it's he's shut it down, ramped
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: it up again, and it's go time. You're part of
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: a big league staff now where they need every win
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: if they're gonna try to catch the Cubs.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: This is why you sign a guy like this too.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: I mean you signed him for the two years for
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: the rehabit, then this year and then you try and
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: get value at him this year.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to him, and I'm happy that Big Wu
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: was coming back because like you said, it's a long,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: long rehab process and he's been so good and he's
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: such a good guy, and yeah, they need him if
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: they're gonna catch. They're only three games back of the Cubs,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: and we kind of thought that division was over too,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: so that if he can come back and give him
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: some quality stuff, maybe the bus can do it again.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: In surprise, the crap out of everybody in the weeds.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Let's dig deep. It is powered by Arena Club. Use
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: that code foul on the app. We'll show some cards
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: as we're talking about All Star starters that were announced.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Let's look at the National League first. Will Smith's catching,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman's at first, his teammate on the Dodgers can
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: tell Marte made it at second base, Many Machado beat
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: out Munzi for third, Lindor finally gets an All Star start,
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: as met A Coup, Pete Crow Armstrong and Kyle Tucker
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: in the outfields, pointing to really the reason why the
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: Cubs are so damn good this year in the National
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: League Central with the rise of PCA and the addition
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: of k t sho Heyo tani at d h anything
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: you like, don't like, want to pick out.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Did a Cuna do enough? I know he did a
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: lot in a little bit that he had. Wasn't enough
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: to take over James Woods spot.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. This is fan voting. The fans vote who
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: they want to see. It doesn't matter. I mean whether
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: he played one game. If the fans vote for him,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, did he do enough? Probably not. If you're
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: looking at just the numbers. But it helps that the
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: fans love him. He's popular, he's exciting, and they want
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: to see him in the All Star Game. I mean,
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: that's It's a popularity contest.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: James Wood's going to get in. My arena club card
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that I have, rookie card going to go up, so
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: he's going to get in. He's doing the derby. But listen,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: it's a popularity contest. And this is what we want.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: We want fans engaged, we want fans of vote. They
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: voted to Koon. You're good for him, go enjoy it.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: And it's and it's in Atlanta. Don't forget it's in Atlanta.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's big. That is big.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: I mean you can make an argument for Freddy and
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: other guys at first Base could have taken him over.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: But it's back in Atlanta. Freddie gets to go back
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: to Atlanta. It's a big deal. I'm sorry. I mean,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: you know what, Happy for Lindor to finally get his start.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, most of these guys, this is right, most
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: of the list. I mean, Acunie is really the only one.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: He could say, Oh he doesn't deserve it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm not saying he doesn't deserve it, I'm saying
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: because he played. I mean, if you're gonna talk about
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: his the amount he played, he could be an MVP
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: if you're only going by the amounts, you know the
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: bats that he played, But you just I always question that.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: But you're right, you have one Atlanta starter. That's good.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: It is, and I do think there should be some
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: track record involved to not make it solely based on
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: first half stats.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: No, along, Yes, it's first half, and sometimes it carries over.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: If you're a postseason team and the fans know you
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: from the season before it carries over, it carries away.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: How was the World Series for Freddie?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. The only guy you can make
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: is Michael Bush. You can say, all right, the Cubs,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: but Freddie Freeman, you know they're two points ops. Bush
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: is higher, and then Pete Alonzo is the one.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: But Peter A.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Lonzo is probably going to get in on the on
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the backside on the player voting, so you don't worry
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're trying to split hairs here. But Freddie Freeman, congratulations,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: you deserve You get to go back to Atlanta and
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: you kind of get to go. I won a World
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: Series and I'm starting in Atlanta in the All Star Game.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: You should have signed me. Okay, let's go to the
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: American League. Kyle Riley's catching shaker if Laddie Junior gets first,
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Glabor Torres is looking like one of the best offseason pickups.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: Man change of scenery is doing him well. Jose Ramirez
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: at third, no chaker there. Good for the fans getting
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Jacob Wilson in there for an A's team that is
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: very very small market right now in Sacramento and not
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: getting a ton of attention, but people recognizing how special
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: of the season that Wilson's having. Then you've got Judge
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Riley Green and Hobby Baias in the outfield. Ryan O'Hearn
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: at DH with a big thank you to Raffie Devers.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: That's cool. Abvey BIA's is the story here. I mean,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson obviously is awesome, good for him, But Hobby
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: bia isn't outfield. He's already started at second base, he
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: started at short sum night starts in the outfield. That's
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: a pretty awesome story. And again it shows you how
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: much the fans like Hobby Bayaz and what he's done
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: throughout his screer and how exciting he is. And you
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: know what, good for the Tiger fans for getting out
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: and getting what three starters in the Al Star Game
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: for Detroit. They have the best record, they deserve it.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Good job Tiger fans.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: I love the Jacob Wilson I love the Jacob Wilson thing.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: First shortstop voted in as a rookie to the All
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Star Game, first A's shortstop to ever start an All
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: Star Game. Like those are pretty those are pretty cool stats.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: I locked him up early for Rookie of the Year.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Keep him rolling in that sense. My two
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: things Labor Torres and we already hit it with the
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: National League Kyle Tucker. Two teams. We have a league
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: where a lot of teams cry, oh, I can't get
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: this guy. Everybody always gets the free agents. We don't
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: get those guys. They were both clearly available. Kyle Tucker
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: in a trade. Labor Torre is on a one year deal.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Now they're starting in the All Star Team in the
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: All Star Game. Just look at your team. Did your
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: team need a guy like that on their roster? They
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: were available. If you're going to wind and complain about, oh,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: we can't get any of these big time free agents.
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: Neither of those two guys were big time free agents,
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: but they were available to every team.
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, two quick notes here on the way out. Number one,
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: we haven't seen an A's position player start an All
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: Star Games since Josh Donaldson in twenty fourteen fourteen, over
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: a decade. It's a long time, that's what I'm talking about. Obviously,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: the A's have had a lot of bad seasons in
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: the last ten years, and also their household names have
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: not gotten in. Yeah, I guess not as a starter.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: We have to look back, but I mean that's the note.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't get the note, but we got it from
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: an article, so hopefully it's right. And second off, the
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: Yankees could have had Kyle Tucker. Bellinger's been doing a
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: nice job, but heel was who they wanted. Phillies too. Yeah,
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: we'll see, all right, use the code foul Jack Wilson.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Jack Wilson had one All Star game and now
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: his son already tied him in his first year. Sucking Jack.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you want to go get yourself a Jacob Wilson
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: rookie card arenaclub dot com slash foul their slab packs.
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: Open it up, get rid of all the common card crap.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: Get something good. Use the code foul twenty percent off
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: for your first slab pack. Or if you're just looking
• 53:56

  Speaker 3: looking at kind of buy stock in the card and
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: then sell it off. This is the platform.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: We've got two breaking news updates that happened during the show,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: so let's start with Jordon Alvarez. There was a video
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: circulating that was from last night, directly from Jordan himself.
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: This is from Matthew a Coin. I'm not gonna be
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: able to get this right. I don't know if he's
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: a fan or if he works in the industry. Sorry Matthew,
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: but good job on this directly from the man himself.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: My dad asked and he said, quote, my ligament popped
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: during my rehab stint and I won't be swinging for
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: six weeks. The ASH Shows came out with a statement today.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: During the show, jord On Alvarez and the Astros received
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: some encouraging news from a hand specialist that examined his
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: right hand on Wednesday, as part of the exam, additional
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: imaging was done on his right hand, which revealed the
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: main cause of his current pain is due to inflammation.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: The specialists also indicated at this point in the recovery process,
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: the small fracture that had been sustained is now a
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: non factor in the discomfort that Alvarez is currently experiencing.
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: As a result of the exam, he received two injections
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: in his hand on Wednesday. He's going to refrain from
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: any activity involving his hand in the coming upcoming days.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: This was not the first time that he had received
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: injections in his hand while on the injured list. Oh
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: and then it was really five paragraphs in that news really,
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: so we just started there. We don't have twenty minutes
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: to go through the whole thing. But they did describe
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: the diagnosis as quote encouraging news, so I don't think
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: there was And production team helped me out any timetable
• 55:35

• 55:48
  Speaker 1: got some like but he had that nice first class
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: so you can tell by the little the way, the
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: way I like to fly with the first class, little
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: divider there where no one can can just I'm high,
• 55:58

• 56:04
  Speaker 1: love to get him back. I know that I was
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: there last week. They won him back. They they just
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on. And again is this I
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: don't know who he went to see, but there's a
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: guy I know that I went to see that's like
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the best hand specialists in the world and Staves Thomas Graham.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: He's awesome, So go see him.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: Maybe, I don't know.
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: Not swinging the back for six weeks would be a problem.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: Looking at the end of August, you're looking almost September
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: to come back.
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: At this point, yeah, I don't think in the release
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: we got any timetable. Besides that, he's just shut down

  Speaker 3: for now.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Good news, good news, Pains PAINUS starting activities this weekend.
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: That's huge. But again it's a rib like, don't look
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: at Luke Weaver. I know he's a picture. I know.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: He said it's Neil. I didn't it with some bad breaks.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: But he's come back from that oblique side rib thing
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: and he hasn't thrown real well to me. The Astros
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: how they do this week. You never want to run
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: your stars back because then all of a sudden, let's
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: say they both come back in August. Now, all of
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: a sudden, you're picking up two stars that are like
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: trade deadline acquisitions, and they're fully healthy. If all of
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: a sudden the Mariners close the gap a little bit
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: and they have to try to rush them. That always,
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: that always scares me, especially with sides, your don hand wrist,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: all those small bones.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: With you. All right, we'll see what happens. We'll see
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: what the timetable is. I mean, see when you start
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: swinging a bat again. That'll be the determining factor.
