0:11
All starts. Right now.
0:15
Welcome back to the three O take presented by Shook Cedary this
0:18

0:20
I'm you and my Co host Nate Reyes.
0:23
Nate. KCJB Been a minute, been a
0:29
minute, how are we? Been a minute, it's going to be
0:33
back. Do you have a good Easter?
0:36
Yeah, yeah, good Easter. We we, we tried to go like the,
0:45
the all the grandparents or all the grandkids basically tried to
0:49
this is my in lost side. We went over to Paige's
0:53
grandma's and we tried to like take over the food.
0:57
She's not a good cook. She's it's real bad.
1:01
She'll like get like a Stouffer's lasagna and like this
1:05
somehow messes that up. So we were like, why don't we
1:07
like we got this and we messed it up too.
1:11
We messed it up too. We went to we went like on the
1:15
lighter side and we went to Costco and we got those like
1:19
little like wraps that are like cut up and like small little
1:23
pieces. Well, the problem was is that
1:26
like we were super busy Saturday.
1:29
Obviously you're not going to get them there Sunday.
1:32
So we got them Friday night and those suckers did not hold up.
1:36
Let me tell you the. Soggy.
1:38
Some soggy torts and those things, dude.
1:42
Soggy torts. So.
1:44
So we messed that part up. So yeah.
1:49
But outside I had no Easter was great.
1:52
Was that the main? That was the main the main dish.
1:55
It was like a lot of finger stuff.
1:57
It was like a lot of finger food stuff.
1:59
So I mean, there was the other, the other grandkids delivered.
2:03
We did not. We get shrimp, like the shrimp
2:07
little thing from Costco. That thing hit.
2:10
Shrimp always hits. So.
2:13
But outside of that, no, we kind of dropped the ball and
2:15
everything else. The outside of that.
2:18
Easter is great. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:25
JB. Yeah, that was great.
2:28
I I'm, I'm just, we don't have to get into it, right?
2:32
But I mean, you guys know some of the back story, but we're
2:36
just, you know, I'm able to just eat normal things mostly.
2:39
And that feels good to just go into a holiday and not worried
2:42
about whether or not I can eat. What did you eat?
2:46
We had ham, we had Mac and cheese.
2:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was very traditional.
2:51
Yep. Good for you.
2:52
So went that route. Yeah, the same, the same foods.
2:57
They were eaten on Easter Sunday.
3:03
What? It was a Micra.
3:07
Back on the original Easter Sunday.
3:10
So, you know the traditional the traditional Easter lunch of ham,
3:13
Mac and cheese. I did not follow what you were
3:16
saying. I was waiting for the punchline.
3:18
No, I yeah, for sure. Just yeah.
3:21
It's not like we're ripping pita bread and right dipping it in
3:25
oils and stuff. JB, lead the charge here.
3:33
Let's start with your guy, Connor Griffin.
3:37
My God. Your guy 9 year extension, 140
3:45
million bones. Yeah, highest paid Pittsburgh
3:52
Pirate ever. Highest paid teenager ever.
3:56
Highest paid prospect ever. Who would have thought the
3:59
Pirates would be breaking records with salaries?
4:03
Tell me, tell me things aren't looking, they're looking up.
4:07
All things pirates looking up, man.
4:09
How about it? Vibes are vibes are good right
4:13
now. Vibes are good right now and
4:16
this team is not. They're not really playing well
4:20
yet, and I think that's probably the best part about it.
4:23
There's still a lot of things that need cleaned up and they're
4:26
still drop the series against the Padres, But before that, you
4:32
know, running off 5 and and just you're staying in all of them
4:38
doing things differently. They've won games in a lot of
4:40
different ways. I mean, they're don't look now,
4:45
they're only a game out of the Central.
4:49
Nobody's talking about it and I don't know why.
4:52
You can get into the debut though 'cause it's been a little
4:54
while. You called it for Pat yourself
4:56
in the back. You called the the call up right
4:58
before the home debut. Jamie was there, by the way.
5:01
Hold. On are we just going to gloss
5:03
over the fact that I called the the extension situation?
5:09
I feel like JB called everything.
5:11
I think Kyle was on the same page though, I think.
5:14
I think we were both there. We knew kind of the the ideal.
5:18
World just ride coattails. This guy had everything.
5:21
I had a. Doubt.
5:22
I mean, it didn't happen to AT, but I literally said I was like,
5:26
announce the extension. What that would have been what
5:29
Thursday? Have him show up Friday in a
5:35
suit pen ready to go. And I mean it.
5:39
I was awfully close. So yeah, obviously he was close.
5:43
Obviously that's not what what happened.
5:46
We had a Buster only leak that things were close on Thursday.
5:51
Nothing else materialized from that and nothing really got
5:55
finalized until this week, specifically this morning,
6:00
Wednesday morning. But I mean, however you want to
6:04
look through whatever lens you want to look through from that,
6:09
they know the rules, right? So he had to debut before he
6:12
signed or else they lose the the prospect promotion incentive
6:18
draft pick. So whether they had an, a verbal
6:23
agreement going into that, that, you know, say, say what you will
6:27
seemed like there's a a chance they did.
6:31
There's a chance there were some things to get figured out.
6:33
There's escalators up to 150 million.
6:36
There's a there's a signing bonus of 12 1/2 that gets
6:41
dispersed a certain way and are those like?
6:44
Performance based or just like games played or?
6:47
I think it's illegal to technically do performance
6:50
based, but I don't know it could be like if you if it's like a
6:56
ward base, right? Yeah, but I don't I actually
7:00
don't know what they are. I I just know that there's an
7:02
extra $10 million that he can earn within that time, but.
7:06
That's illegal. You're not allowed to in a
7:10
contract, you're not allowed to put like, oh, if you get 150
7:13
hits, you earn more money. It's, it's games played.
7:18
Yeah, but they have a different collective bargaining agreement.
7:24
I'm pretty sure. I, I could be wrong about that,
7:26
but I'm pretty sure that there are no such thing as
7:28
performance. There's awards.
7:31
You can you can earn more money with the with awards or games
7:35
played. Yeah.
7:38
All right. I'll take it.
7:41
Either way. I'll say my first impressions
7:44
and then I'll get out of the way.
7:45
Watching the debut number one, I think all he got was sliders in
7:52
that first AB sliders away, sliders away, sliders away, and
7:59
to rope that double to left center on a slider that was
8:04
right on the corner. He chased the 1st 2:00 I think
8:07
kind of worked to like a 22 count but to hit that double to
8:11
left center vibes come on. This girl is freaking good dude.
8:18
Guys, I'm trending on today's Twitter news.
8:24
Oh no. No, this is Pirates related.
8:28
Literally on on the sidebar where it shows you the trending
8:30
topics. Yeah, today's news.
8:33
The top one says, should all pro teams in a city share one color
8:37
scheme? That's the tweet I put out
8:39
today. Oh yeah, it is.
8:40
It actually is on today's. News and you click it and it
8:43
says. Corwin's post drew over 27,000
8:46
likes 1 million views, spotlighting Pittsburgh as the
8:48
only US city where Steelers, Penguins and Pirates all use
8:52
black and yellow. Yeah, those are the City of
8:56
Pittsburgh colors as well. Go.
8:59
So not just are they all the same, but that is that is
9:02
actually the yeah, that's the like the yeah.
9:08
Sorry, I just wanted to throw that out there, but that's cool.
9:11
Whatever, man. You were talking sliders first,
9:13
that was. Breaking news.
9:14
You couldn't. You couldn't interrupt you.
9:16
You couldn't. Interrupt.
9:17
You just saw it. I didn't want it to disappear
9:19
and go away. Give.
9:21
It to a little bit. Was it a second AB that he got
9:23
the hit the double? It was the first.
9:25
Yeah, it was the first. It was the first, yeah.
9:28
And it and it was, it was four straight sliders fouled off,
9:33
fouled off the the one that could have put him away.
9:36
And then they dropped a curveball in.
9:37
That's the one he hit for the double.
9:39
Yeah. It's just, I don't know, it was
9:41
it was impressive play coverage barreled it.
9:46
The more impressive thing for me, though, was was scoring on
9:50
that single to right field from second base and watching him
9:52
run. I was like, yeah, oh, Oh my.
9:55
Just super long strides, super athletic.
10:00
I think MLB. What is it now?
10:03
Which one's Brian Kenney Think it's a movie now you got it was
10:06
saying that he's already like his his run foot speed per
10:14
second or speed for per foot, whatever.
10:16
I don't know, but it was. On.
10:18
Yeah, it was already top ten in baseball, so it's impressive.
10:22
I I was thinking like any time I've created myself in video
10:25
games, that's the size that I make myself, that's the build I
10:30
give myself. I'm obviously not that, but in
10:34
in video game world I am close. Then I'm a shortstop.
10:38
So yeah, I mean, it's he's, he's a video game character, dude.
10:42
He's just, he looks really good. I'm impressed so far.
10:46
Yeah, Tuesday beat out an infield single on a on a ball
10:50
that he hit 93 right at Machado. Now it was straight into the
10:56
ground, so it wasn't 93 for long.
11:00
It looked like a slow roller, 30.2 feet per second, one of the
11:05
top Sprint speeds in MLB so far in this very young season.
11:10
But then right after that, O'Neill Cruz fights off A2
11:13
strike pitch down the left field line and he scored from first
11:17
and this ball didn't even get to the corner.
11:21
It's it's crazy. I mean, he's.
11:24
It's the strides that it's. A game changer.
11:26
You can tell like certain, we watch Bobby Witt.
11:29
You watch some of these guys that have a ton of speed in it,
11:31
like it kind of they kind of glide in a way.
11:37
And for him, it's like he he he just takes up a ton of just so
11:42
just big strides and it does glide, but it doesn't look like
11:47
he's as fast as everyone else, but he's like gaining so much
11:51
more ground. It's hard to explain, but I like
11:54
him. He looks good.
11:54
Looks good, a short. I I think he did an exceptional
11:58
job explaining it. Thank you.
12:00
Appreciate it. Moving on.
12:04
I will say loudest, loudest I've ever heard of stadium in my life
12:10
when he hit that double. JP, we got to get you some more
12:13
baseball games. I'm, I'm telling you, it was,
12:16
there was. I was not at the 2013 Wild Card
12:20
game in Pittsburgh, which most people.
12:22
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Was that not 2015?
12:27
There was a wild card game in 1314 and 15.
12:31
They lost 14 and 15. Cueto was 2013.
12:37
Wow. And that was well, and that what
12:39
makes that significant is that was the first one, right?
12:41
That was when they made it and and that city just starving for
12:46
relevant baseball and and made it to that point.
12:51
I've heard there's nothing there's been nothing else as as
12:55
loud like actually when they measure it.
12:56
I don't know. But either way, I wasn't at that
12:59
game, so I can't. Yeah, thank you.
13:01
I can't say if you know what I mean, the difference between
13:05
that, but I've never been at a baseball game.
13:09
Look it up. Yeah, I've never been at a
13:11
baseball game where it was like where I've said that.
13:15
That's the loudest I've ever heard and at the same time the
13:18
quietest I've ever heard because there was no one talking before
13:23
every pitch. Like I could have snapped my
13:26
fingers and somebody in the next section over would have heard
13:29
it. It was radio silence.
13:31
It was unbelievable. I've never, I've never been at a
13:34
stadium where I felt like 38,000 people were actually paying
13:37
attention to the game. Yeah, that's sick.
13:41
It was a really cool, really cool.
13:42
Family in the suite, just jumping around all over the
13:46
place. It was.
13:48
That's a cool debut, man. Especially just get out of the
13:51
way. You get your rib out of the way,
13:52
you get your extra base hit out of the way.
13:54
Yeah. And their struggle after that,
13:56
right? Kangaroo Junior doubled in his
13:58
first at bat when he was 19. He went over his next 17.
14:01
So it's, that's very normal to have the adrenaline and do
14:05
something like that. So the, the parallels there was,
14:08
I thought was pretty cool 'cause Kangaroo Junior is my favorite
14:10
player. So the hope the, the, the way
14:14
that they talk about this kid, I mean, the, the, the, the
14:18
drooling that fan grafts did over this kid before he made his
14:21
debut is bizarre in a way. But the hope that that comes
14:27
with that and the fact that this team actually put a, a team on
14:31
the field that can, can hang somehow, like, not like what
14:36
we've seen the past few years, I think is what fed into that.
14:41
It's, it's been really cool. I will say Major League debuts
14:45
in general will get me, but this one were you crying?
14:51
You crying? Oh, I mean, I I shed a tear.
14:53
Listen, I I will shed a tear for any Major League debut or
14:55
baptism. That's just the way I roll.
14:57
OK, baseball guy, man, just the way it goes.
15:01
It could be somebody for the other team.
15:03
And I'm like, man, this guy worked all this time for this.
15:07
But for Connor, it's like he didn't.
15:10
He's. Yeah, he's. 19, he's 19, but it
15:13
still is. I think it was a little bit less
15:16
than that in that sense. But no, they all all the debuts,
15:20
which is why I bring it up all the time.
15:22
All these young guys coming up and doing well.
15:24
Is this is Conor Griffin the real deal?
15:27
And I'm trying, I'm asking you to try to take off your go
15:31
Pirates hat and and look and answer this as as objectively as
15:38
you can, because I feel like we've seen this play out before.
15:44
I I mean, I can't think of a comp off the top ahead, but
15:46
we've, we've seen top prospects come through the the the hype is
15:51
real. The debut is, is worth writing
15:56
home about. Maybe has a moment or two in the
16:00
first game or or two or three. And then thing, like you said,
16:05
maybe not O for 17, O for 20 kind of deal, but like it is
16:13
Connor Griffin going to be a name that we're going to be
16:15
talking about with as much promise and hype years down the
16:21
road as we are now? Or is this going to be something
16:25
that potentially fizzles out? I mean, there's obviously no way
16:28
of knowing, but it is. Is there something different
16:30
about Connor Griffin than previous top prospects in the
16:34
past? Everything that I read says yes,
16:38
there are certain prospects that are the number one prospect
16:41
because they are everything that that they write about them.
16:46
There are other #1 prospects who are #1 prospects because they're
16:50
currently the top guy in the pool that exists.
16:54
And the way that they talk about this is he's a #1 prospect
16:58
regardless of the pool that exists, he's a guy that you're
17:02
going to count on. And I mean the, the most recent
17:04
#1 prospect that was as much of A slam dunk as you could say was
17:10
not that long ago. It was literally just Roman
17:12
Anthony. And you know what I'm saying?
17:13
You're looking at this guy like, no, like things always can go
17:17
bad. Things could go bad for a guy
17:19
who's good for three years at any time can happen in baseball.
17:24
But as sure a thing as you can have like he's there and I could
17:30
start with the tools. They I've heard him regarded as
17:33
a six tool player, the six tool being character and when that
17:37
starts to come into play, it it makes you just it makes you kind
17:41
of believe in the player a little bit more.
17:45
I I don't know how I don't know how you quantify being 19 years
17:48
old, married rich and then sign a contract to make you filthy
17:53
stinking rich like I don't know. I will never amount to what he's
17:57
done in 19 official vehicle of. Making.
18:01
What are we doing? Who's that?
18:04
Who's playing sound bites? Not.
18:06
Me. Not me.
18:10
What you doing, Speaker? Yeah.
18:12
What you doing guy? Cleaned it up.
18:15
Gay men? Did I just put on quick pitch?
18:19
No, it just, it makes me wonder. It makes me wonder about a guy.
18:24
Like I know I said I didn't have any comps, but a guy that came
18:27
to mind was like a Dylan Cruz where it's like the hype's
18:31
running him was real. Granted, maybe not to the same
18:36
level, I can acknowledge that, but are we talking about Dylan
18:40
Cruz right now? I.
18:42
Don't think so. And he he got up to I think 3 or
18:46
4 on the on the top 100 list. So and I know different
18:51
different position, different story but.
18:53
Just didn't think was Jackson Merrill ever that high as far as
18:59
prospect ranking going. No, I mean it came up the same
19:02
time as Paul Skeens. I'm wasn't skeens #1.
19:08
Yeah #9 is what I'm seeing. Yeah, I mean the comps that are
19:14
that have come out not from Pirates fans, obviously, like
19:17
I'm, I'm, I've removed that cap, right?
19:19
The comps, the the fan graphs right up the Baseball America,
19:23
the pipeline, all those things. The comps that they're saying
19:26
he's closely relating to is names like Bobby Witt Junior,
19:31
Mike Trout, Juan Soto, Ken Griffey Junior.
19:34
Like this is what they're saying, which as a Pirates fan,
19:37
like to put the hat back on. That made me nervous because I
19:40
was like, man, don't like, don't go all the way there.
19:43
And then what's that? It was never.
19:45
Wrong, he said. It's never wrong.
19:46
Well, I know, I know those comps are wrong because nobody is
19:49
Bobby Witt Junior. He is one of one.
19:55
Certainly he can. He can be close.
19:57
I guess I'll allow it. No, but for.
20:00
Real. The expectations are there.
20:02
Like look what? Look what Bobby Wood Junior was
20:04
in his first year. Like those are realistic
20:06
expectations. Like you're a 250 hitter.
20:08
Hey, you know what I mean. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
20:13
Yeah, do I need to check? No, we don't need you to pull up
20:19
any numbers. I mean, we can.
20:20
Pull up numbers. No, no, no.
20:22
No, no, no. I don't want.
20:23
I don't. I don't.
20:24
We don't need to pigeonhole Bobby Witt as a 250 hitter.
20:28
No, we're not doing that. But literally his first season,
20:31
150 games, he he had 254 with a 294 on base.
20:35
He had a one O 2 OPS plus he had 20 homers.
20:38
Like, if that's the line at the end of the year for Conor
20:40
Griffin, I'm pretty excited about it.
20:43
Ken Griffin, junior at 16 home runs his first year, was third
20:47
in rookie of the year at 16, though.
20:49
Like, I'm just saying like, these are the expectations for a
20:52
guy. And Bobby Witt was 22.
20:54
I don't like the guy but like it.
20:56
Is it closer to? It's just as far as like build
20:59
and like? What is his build?
21:02
How tall is this guy? He's like 64225 isn't he?
21:06
I think he's 6. Four.
21:08
I think he's 63. 63225. Yeah, listed 63222.
21:14
I was thinking more like a rod and I don't like I don't, no one
21:17
here likes a rod, but like as far as like the build and the
21:20
athleticism being being at shortstop, like I think we can
21:24
like like that comp makes more sense.
21:28
Yeah. There's a lot of those.
21:30
Speaking of a rod, there's a lot of those videos I watched as a
21:32
kid where it talked about, well, obviously pre a rod, but those
21:38
Ripken videos that I like, the VHS tapes that I watched as a
21:41
kid talked about how he forever changed the position.
21:45
Yeah, with his size. And then a guy like a rod comes
21:48
down the pipe where similar, similar build and that and now
21:51
you just see it more and more. Right.
21:53
Yeah, he he changed Cal Ripken changed the whole game with
21:55
that. Yeah.
21:58
And that's, that's another one I've heard, I've heard this is
22:01
what it looks like. You know, I, I, I, I don't think
22:04
Cal could have ever swiped 65 bags, but you know what I mean?
22:09
That's I think that's a different story.
22:12
But everything else, you know what of what people are saying,
22:16
it's he's shown off the defensive skill already.
22:19
I think the power has yet to really, really show up.
22:22
I mean, he had a base hit the other day, 113 and so like
22:27
there's obviously elite exit velocity, bat speed is, is in
22:33
the mid 70s. It's all there.
22:37
It just, it's baseball. It's a hard sport.
22:43
We good on Conor Griffin. Speaking of hard, we good on
22:48
Conor Griffin. No, I just looked up and
22:50
realized you've been talking Conor Griffin for 20 minutes.
22:54
We murdered this thing, dude. Crush it man pretty much covered
23:01
every angle that we could. I'll run, I'll run another 20
23:05
He. Salivate over there.
23:06
He's like, just keep it going. Speaking of keeping it going.
23:13
Speaking of keeping it going, I LED by the way, I don't think I
23:17
told you guys I should have texted you guys, but I had to.
23:20
I was tasked with leading our our small group the other last
23:24
week. You had the Segways just dialed?
23:27
Boy did I they and they had no idea what was coming, but they
23:32
picked up on it about two or three in and they go.
23:35
They were like, man, you love transitioning this stuff and I
23:38
was like, you don't even know the half of it.
23:43
But anyway. Speaking of Paul, let's.
23:51
Speaking of Simon, let's head on over to.
23:54
Speaking of Jesus is risen. No, let's talk.
24:00
Let's switch gears here. Let's talk.
24:01
Let's talk some beefs. Let's start with the let's start
24:05
with the the, the Braves Angel's brawl.
24:09
We'll start there. I liked it, I was a fan.
24:16
I wish some of these punches would land.
24:20
I need I need AI need a Rugi odor Joey bats type landing of a
24:27
of a fist. No, because then it gets watered
24:29
down. No, no, it's that was iconic 15
24:35
years ago. Yeah, it's been, it's like long.
24:37
It's iconic. We're due.
24:41
Jose Ramirez, Jose Ramirez, Tim Anderson.
24:45
Great. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one
24:47
too. I just need I need one to land
24:49
the flailing and the running backwards and to.
24:52
Be fair, Lopez to I don't know if you saw, he saw the baseball.
24:55
Yes. Why he he?
24:57
Clocked him in the side of the face with it too.
24:59
He did land one in the side with.
25:01
The gosh. I'm rigging my pitching hand
25:04
dude. I saw, I saw one somebody share
25:06
that they just said hit by pitch.
25:11
It reminded me of like, did you see that movie Central
25:12
Intelligence where the Rock like grabs a banana and he's like,
25:15
anything in your hand is better than just a fist?
25:19
That it was a great brawl. Great brawl.
25:22
Walt wise. Shout out Walt Wise.
25:24
Yeah, my goodness. I mean, just talk about.
25:28
Putting your head down and just getting a tackle for the squad,
25:31
you know what I mean? Like, that's a big deal.
25:34
Was that real? There's a big boy.
25:36
Was that martial arts background?
25:38
Was that legit? I think so.
25:41
Dude. He's he's thick.
25:43
With two CS Yeah, the Falcons. I know I sent sent the group the
25:48
screenshot today. But the Falcons were like, they
25:51
put out a post with the screenshot of him just taking
25:55
out it was Lopez, right or no? Who was it?
26:00
Who was he? Taking out Solaire.
26:01
Solaire, Solaire. Yeah.
26:05
And they put out a put out a post and they're like grab some
26:08
pads. Yeah, that hit was clean.
26:12
I mean it was might have a shot. Yeah, I, I, I liked the clip of
26:19
like kind of watching the build up too, because a lot of it was
26:23
a lot of the clips that I saw were just immediately Solaire
26:26
like taking off. So seeing like the build up of,
26:30
of the chirping back and forth. And I think it had to do with
26:34
Solaire's history against him, right.
26:36
And you have a couple gobble dingers off of him.
26:39
Dude, he's, if this is correct, 14 for 23 with five homers.
26:48
I don't think it. I mean, that's, that's, that's
26:51
Devers coal territory. In fact, that's that that might
26:55
even get better. I don't even I don't even know
26:58
what those numbers are at. But I mean, my goodness, it
27:00
doesn't get much better than that.
27:02
So he had the he had the Homer and then was hit by the pitch.
27:07
Is that correct or, or did he come in?
27:10
Did he come up and in a couple times I.
27:14
Don't remember. From what I from what I know is
27:17
the IT was the breaking ball that hit him on the hands and
27:19
the second at bat. This happened in his third at
27:22
bat. Right, right, right.
27:23
OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
27:26
And then came up and in. Yeah, it was like a apparently a
27:30
slider that on like a 22 count. So you kind of wonder, I think
27:35
we all know there's no intent there.
27:38
But yeah, I don't. I mean, I wouldn't want to take
27:42
on Solaire, I know that much. That guy's.
27:46
What's that guy's build? Built like a superhero but I
27:54
don't what what's the deal? They already changed the Lopez's
28:00
suspension. They already dropped it down to
28:02
5. Games 7:00 to 5:00.
28:05
What are what's the appealing thing going on?
28:09
Like? What is this?
28:10
Why do you it's every time we lay down in the law, appeal
28:15
happens right away and it's like what?
28:19
Why, what, why what it what is the difference between A7 game
28:23
and A5 game suspension? What's the difference?
28:26
Pay I guess. That's that is the answer.
28:34
Why? What are you saying?
28:36
Like we look at that was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's not
28:39
7. That's clearly five games.
28:40
Like what? Where did the change come from?
28:44
I don't understand how that works.
28:47
Is it? Is it?
28:48
Like selection is. It like the.
28:50
Pastigating. Or then like take longer to just
28:54
randomly throw out seven games. Like take longer to figure out
28:59
what the sentence should be. I mean, it's, it's very likely,
29:02
I, I don't know for certain, but it's, it's very likely that
29:05
they've got a sort of a guide that they're following for
29:08
things like this. I mean, if it's, if it's so
29:12
out-of-the-box, maybe they do have to take a little time back.
29:15
I, we don't know what to assign the suspension for, but a brawl
29:21
that we've, you know, we've seen these types of skirmishes time
29:25
and time again. Well, you would have to, I'm,
29:28
I'm just, I'm guessing here, you would have to imagine that the
29:31
appeal system was put into place by the OR or presented by the
29:39
association. So blame them, I guess.
29:43
What are you, what are you arguing?
29:44
Are you saying you just wish it was like a, a suspension and
29:48
that was it? Or are you saying the selection
29:51
is arbitrary? I think.
29:56
I guess I don't understand the the point of an appeal if like
30:02
you click, like you, I don't know, like the brawl clearly
30:05
happened. You clearly threw punches.
30:08
It's it's for exactly this is what it is.
30:11
Get a couple games back, save some, save some money in your
30:15
pocket. Yeah, I mean, I get that they
30:17
lose game checks, like that's fair, I understand that.
30:20
But just like it's dumb. Did Slayer appeal?
30:26
70 Did he appeal? I I would imagine.
30:31
Like he did because I think he hit a home run, didn't he?
30:33
Didn't he hit a home run today? Oh, yeah, we were talking about
30:37
that earlier. He did.
30:38
He did play today. Yeah.
30:39
So he he did appeal. I, I don't know why you
30:41
wouldn't. I mean, you could plot a gun and
30:44
shoot a guy and you probably you could probably still appeal.
30:48
I think that one, that one, yeah, that one's probably not
30:50
going to I. Only shot him in the leg, you
30:52
know what I mean? Like.
30:55
It's the second time we've pulled out a gun and shot
30:57
someone here. The last few weeks, yeah.
30:59
Yeah. So let me let me clarify here a
31:02
little. Bit quick on that.
31:03
Can I, can I, can I take that ball and run with it?
31:06
Because you mentioned the other reference where I talked about a
31:09
guy pulling out a gun and shooting.
31:11
That was the Paul Skeens bit that I did.
31:15
Did you see his comments by the way, today?
31:18
I'm guessing there today, maybe it was yesterday about Conor
31:21
Griffin. I mean, who's the same man?
31:26
He let me pull it up. It was.
31:30
It was that. I see a lot of comments so.
31:33
There, no, from skiing. It's like, not right, Yeah,
31:36
yeah, he said when they asked him about Griffin's extension.
31:41
He said he's going to be the face of the Pirates for a long
31:43
time, to which I responded translation.
31:48
And that dropped the magic GIF where he's like, I ain't going
31:50
to be here. I mean, what does that say?
31:55
I mean, we're talking about, we're talking about a a
31:58
perennial Cy Young threat. He's been.
32:05
Yeah, this guy is going to be the face of the franchise for a
32:07
long time. What are we talking about?
32:09
Well. He's there for a six year
32:12
minimum and or. Minimum.
32:13
No, no, I I get it. But you're the one telling me
32:19
the schemes doesn't want to go anywhere.
32:21
So schemes will be there for a a long time too, won't he?
32:25
Are we going back to this? What?
32:27
No how does. All things come back to Pirates
32:30
now. Listen, I'm going to just for
32:32
the sake of everybody blaming me, just for the sake of
32:36
everybody blaming me. I will go back because the Jorge
32:38
Solera bat that we have are calling a slider up and in was
32:43
not the case we had. My source was a Braves fan in
32:49
our group chat. That's right, mine too.
32:51
I I'm but I'm fact checking as I do.
32:54
We have we have a 12 count and he goes ball in the dirt low and
33:00
away for ball 2 and the very next pitch is 96 that hit him up
33:07
in it. No, that's.
33:08
Not guys don't like going a low and away off speed and then
33:13
coming up and in. Like hitters don't like that.
33:16
So there's reason there. I mean, it's still kind of silly
33:19
to get you to two strikes and hit you.
33:21
I don't think there's intent there, but hitters will almost
33:24
always have a problem with it if you're getting me leaning out
33:28
over the plate and then you come up and in.
33:30
Yeah, and I said in the group chat where it's like it's just
33:33
pitching is better, pitching is better, tunneling is better.
33:37
Hitters have to stay in longer and more often than not, hitters
33:43
are going to dive a little bit and kind of lean into the strike
33:46
zone a little bit. And I don't know, I'm fine with
33:50
it. The game, this is how the game's
33:54
always been. This is nothing new.
33:55
Like pitchers are going to work you off the plate and then
34:00
they're going to jam you up inside and brush you off a
34:03
little bit. Like that's Tales all this time.
34:07
And hitters are going to charge them out.
34:10
Yeah. Like the same the same thing
34:11
like right? Yeah, I don't.
34:13
I'm good with all of it. If you're going to throw inside,
34:16
you better be able to control it, is what they say.
34:18
A lot, you know. I I just wish there was like a
34:20
slight delay, like let's let the hitter and pitcher kind of Duke
34:25
it out for a SEC before everyone gets there.
34:26
Like a hockey fight. Like, let's wait until
34:28
somebody's getting their butt kicked before we step in.
34:32
Yeah, put that jersey over his head and land some punches.
34:37
That's the method. By the way, you RIP the jersey
34:39
over there and. Isn't there a thing with those
34:43
hockey jerseys? There's like a a special part to
34:45
the jersey, right? That's like related to fighting.
34:50
I'm not crazy. Do you do you guys know what I'm
34:52
talking about? I don't.
34:55
And now you're going to make me look it up.
34:57
No, we'll trust you, but. I don't understand personally,
35:03
but I'll trust it. It's called the fight Strap.
35:08
It's the Velcro. Strap to the to the shoulder.
35:12
It's the Velcro strap sewn on to the inside back of the authentic
35:16
jerseys that loops through the player's pants, preventing the
35:19
jersey from being pulled up over their head during a fight.
35:24
That's the method. The fight strap, love that.
35:28
Just give me, give me just a couple seconds.
35:30
It's a little delay, you know, because then you get like the
35:38
weird backpedaling and the flailing.
35:41
It's just, it's not a good look for baseball players.
35:43
It's it's never a good look. I'm trying to imagine the
35:46
perspective of a non baseball fan watching this fight labeled
35:50
as a brawl where it's just like it's just some of the worst
35:54
punching forms we could ever ask for.
35:59
Yeah, but going back to hockey, hockey's very much, in most
36:04
cases A1V1 type showdown, you're not going to.
36:07
Yeah, that's what I want. No.
36:08
No, I agree with you, but I'm I'm just saying like it's not
36:12
like these these non baseball fans that you're talking like
36:15
tuning in, they don't necessarily have anything to
36:18
compare to from a sports sense because yeah, I guess the
36:22
numbers just aren't aren't comparable.
36:24
Like you have entire dugouts empty and you have bullpens
36:27
empty. Like you're just not getting
36:28
that anywhere else. Yeah, I suppose.
36:31
But I'm with you, one V1 all day, give it to me.
36:34
Yeah, I think the goal of just about everybody except for the
36:37
two fighting is to break up the fight too.
36:39
Which is also lame. Like I need people to be down
36:41
for the cause like. I know for this, like I'm coming
36:44
for your head, like if I'm the first one, pick out a guy,
36:47
getting the other guy's first guy on the scene.
36:49
That's correct. I know my guy has his guy.
36:53
And then you get. My guy.
36:54
And then you just fall into line after that 2 gets 233 gets 3.
36:59
Beat up an old man. Just be down for the 'cause
37:02
that's all I'm asking. Yeah.
37:06
Every once in a while you see those.
37:07
You do if you've got a guy on your team that's down for the
37:11
cause. Like the Yankees, Tigers won a
37:13
few years ago, was solid and that one was like up against the
37:17
backstop at one point. I love.
37:19
Him, that's the key. That's the key.
37:21
We got to stop funneling these fights to the sides.
37:24
You got to just go straight to home plate because then you have
37:28
nowhere else to go. Yeah.
37:30
Granted, having said that, I would be curious to see what a
37:34
fight would look like making its way out to center field.
37:38
Sure. Shorten the distance a little
37:39
bit for these boys. In, out, in the pen, maybe.
37:41
Yeah, maybe then because you know, they're down for the
37:44
calls. Interestingly enough, the two
37:47
that we mentioned at the beginning of this was was done.
37:51
It's around second base was the Odor and Jose Ramirez.
37:57
Oh yeah, true. Those were both at second base.
38:00
Yeah, that's a great example. The specifically the the J Ram
38:03
one that I mean that's. That's right there.
38:07
I know it would have to be almost perfect.
38:10
Like you would have to as a like if you had, if you're a hitter,
38:14
you had beef at the pitcher, it'd be perfect.
38:17
Like you were a lefty and you rolled over to first base and it
38:20
was like a flip to the to the pitcher covering.
38:23
Then you can just go at it, dude, because no one's around.
38:26
You guys are already right next to each other.
38:29
That would be ideal. Or Nolan in Ventura.
38:33
Same thing. Same thing.
38:34
Just like. Beating up a pitcher covering
38:36
first base for no reason. Unprovoked beef.
38:38
Just have beef, obviously, like it's it's been established.
38:43
Well, you didn't just let's find a better opportunity or let's
38:46
immediately Sprint again. Let's let's get the hitters just
38:50
beelining right. It's the build up that's like,
38:54
Oh no. And then like the catcher
38:56
figures it out. Yeah.
38:57
And at that point, guys are already clearing out the dugout
38:59
by the time you know, I. Think a lot of the flailing, I,
39:02
I don't remember the actual, like image of this, but is a lot
39:06
of the flailing because you have a guy holding onto your hip
39:09
pulling you away. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:11
So really there's no chance to land because they're constantly
39:15
being pulled. The one, the two that come to
39:18
mind, the the Bryce Harper one is tough because there was a lot
39:21
of flailing on that one, not to mention the horrible helmet
39:24
throw. But the other one that comes to
39:26
mind, I don't remember who was with when Nolan Arenado was a
39:29
Rocky and he was like chasing somebody down and his hair was
39:34
like a lion's mane dude. It was just.
39:36
I remember that. Yeah.
39:38
And he's like just coming pause. But the Luis Perdomo.
39:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Did you really just RIP that
39:48
name or did you look it up? I looked it up.
39:51
Oh, man, that's what he's here for.
39:52
Nate Yeah. I just I was going to be super
39:55
impressed if he. No, but talking about talking
39:59
about the pulling away thing, going back, putting a bow on my
40:02
being down for the cause point seeing Trout pulling Lopez away,
40:07
I'm like, well, Trout's not a great example because I don't, I
40:09
don't particularly know that Trout's down for the cause in
40:12
any situation. No disrespect, but a situation
40:15
like that, yeah, it's hard to tell, but.
40:18
It's like a linebacker. It's a situation like that where
40:21
you could have Trout just turn and heal.
40:25
Isn't that what they say in in wrestling?
40:28
You turn to heal, Yeah. Yeah, and just like you said,
40:32
just pick out a guy and. Start it up again.
40:35
Almost. Take him.
40:36
Yeah. Like it starts to fizzle and
40:38
then you're like, that's the best.
40:40
When the broadcasters are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we got some.
40:44
Cameron's like, whoa, got to slide over.
40:47
Yeah. Oh my gosh, the best.
40:51
What was what was the Amir Garrett one?
40:53
Yeah, that's. That's where he just went,
40:55
right? At the dugout took on the
40:58
Pittsburgh. Dude, they took him out of the
41:00
game and he just said OK here and he just threw his glove down
41:03
and took off. That's hard, dude.
41:05
Yeah, that's. I love.
41:06
Baller status. I don't care if my guy's behind
41:09
me or not, I'm taking everyone on.
41:11
I think I'm I'm not going to make that comment.
41:15
I did just watch the Nolan Aronado 1 and Perdomo just takes
41:19
his glove off and throws it at Aronado when he's going there
41:23
and he starts backing up. Aronado would have hit with a
41:26
serious, serious. Punch.
41:29
If he wasn't ripped out of that. Oddly enough, it looks like Mark
41:34
McGwire was involved in calming Aronado down in that.
41:37
Didn't see that one coming when I was watching this.
41:41
See what I mean? Rude rage days were behind him
41:44
at that point. Yeah.
41:46
What's the other beef? Oh, let's, let's get into your
41:48
beef. Let's get into your little your
41:50
little Wilson Contreras Brewer beef.
41:56
I don't know first base. Boom, I look man, people are
42:02
being like Wilson Contreras is a baby.
42:04
Just suck it up. It's like they don't.
42:07
A lot of the people saying that don't have the context.
42:10
He's been, he's been a lot, a lot of people, people.
42:18
So many people have been saying that Wilson can trade as a baby,
42:21
but they don't have the context that he's been hit by the
42:23
Brewers 24 times. Not to mention six of those have
42:28
been by Brandon Woodruff. Now, was this, Was this at the
42:34
head, this most recent instance this week?
42:37
No, but you can understand the frustration.
42:40
And I know, Nate, you texted me, to which I responded, it's the
42:44
Manny Clemens vibes. Granted, much, you know.
42:48
Yeah, I said the T move version. Yeah, the T move version of the
42:51
Clemens mini vibe, but you get to a point where you're looking
42:53
for something You're just looking for the first thing to
42:56
justify going off on these guys and he wasn't happy.
43:01
And I get it. And like I said, you're dealing
43:04
with two, two different contexts here where you've got a history
43:07
with this guy, but you've also got a a much longer history with
43:11
the team 24 times. That's that's insane.
43:15
But my I think I think the funniest part of all this for me
43:20
was Yelich's comments after the game.
43:24
I don't know if you saw. I think I did, but remind me so
43:28
Contreras. After the game was talking about
43:33
if they hit me, I think he said something like if they hit me
43:35
again, I'm going to take one of them out.
43:37
Which for the record, big fan enough of the like dancing
43:40
around like, you know what, I'm just trying to this and that.
43:44
Yeah, no, I'm. Go ahead, take a stance.
43:47
If you're going to take a stance, take a stance, yeah, he
43:50
said. I'm going to take one of them
43:51
out, he said. That's my message.
43:53
And then I think it was, it was either minutes before or minutes
43:57
after Christian Yelich. They were interviewing him in in
44:00
the other locker room and he was like, yeah, we've seen this skip
44:03
before. Like it's and I'm like, well,
44:06
that I mean nothing like just popping the balloon, man.
44:09
Like I had, we had something, no pun intended here.
44:11
We had something brewing. And then Yelich is just like,
44:14
yeah, I mean, this guy is a dweeb, but.
44:20
Popular word for Eve lately. I like who wins in a fight, Pat
44:25
Murphy or Wilson Katuras. Oh.
44:28
Actually, I mean, that's come on good.
44:29
Question. What are we doing?
44:30
I'm going Pat, dude, you're marking it.
44:33
Oh yeah, I'm. Going no, you're not that guy's
44:37
Oh yeah. All right, let's.
44:39
I'm going experience on that one.
44:41
If I see anything on his Wikipedia hinting at a bat, a a
44:47
football background, anything with martial arts, then I'll
44:51
seed you this point. But if his, if he's just a
44:55
baseball lifer, I don't know that I can give that point to
44:58
you because he's 67. Yeah, I'm giving him the edge.
45:03
I, I, I I can't do. That but it that's where it all
45:08
was mostly starting right because those two you're you're
45:11
yelling at each other quite a bit he.
45:16
Who? Murphy and Wilson?
45:18
Yeah, they were. They were yabbing at each other
45:20
for sure. Murphy served as a head baseball
45:24
coach and assistant football coach for the Maryville College
45:27
Fighting Scots. There you go.
45:29
He was probably, he probably played football with leather
45:32
helmets back in the day. Like you don't mess with guys
45:34
like that. Oh, we played Maryville in
45:39
baseball. There you go.
45:41
Shout out that D3 life. Yeah.
45:45
So maybe he does have a little bit of a football edge to him.
45:48
He's still I think I'm. Scared of him.
45:50
I think I'm scared of him. I'd be, I'd be scared of him.
45:54
He's intimidating. Oh yeah, I mean, I respected the
45:57
the John back at Contreras basically just being like, shut
46:00
up, dude. Like shut up.
46:01
I love, I love seeing that from guys.
46:05
But he's 67. I'm giving, I'm giving him the
46:09
edge. Yeah, I don't know, but I'll
46:12
have to say, I mean, main take away from the whole situation is
46:17
the Sox took the series from the Brewers.
46:19
Who prior to it's your first series win?
46:24
It is. How about that They're now let
46:30
me just double check here. It's 4:00 and 7:00.
46:34
Now worse like 4:00 and 8:00, Yeah, they went into they, they
46:43
took the first game of the series to push us to 2:00 and
46:46
8:00. And then at that time, I believe
46:49
they were eight and two. At the time you were.
46:54
And. You're in a rough spot.
46:56
Are you in a less rough spot? They lost the series to a team
47:00
that at one point in the series was two and eight.
47:03
What does that say about the Brewers?
47:04
There is a lot of I think I remember.
47:06
What does that say about Mizarowski?
47:08
The. The broadcast talking like the
47:12
weird ties between the two teams, like the Wilson Contreras
47:15
obviously being in the division for most of his career and there
47:18
was like the Caleb Durbin, who else there was a lot of like
47:23
his. Brother.
47:25
There's a lot of like. Yeah.
47:26
Interesting. Oh yeah, William Contreras being
47:29
there. Yeah, there's like a lot in
47:31
there, but those. Which has got to put him in some
47:34
kind of awkward situation right there.
47:36
Yeah, yeah. Pick a different team, you know,
47:43
and there's, it's been a long history, right?
47:46
I mean, he's cleated several guys.
47:47
He's backed, he's caught up, you know, he's backed up and ran
47:51
into the base, like backed into the baseline to knock guys out.
47:54
And I mean that, you know, there's it's been a little back
47:57
and forth. It's not just he's been hit.
47:58
Yeah. You saw his slide, he took it
48:00
second. Yeah, yeah.
48:02
That's not the first. That was the other tie.
48:04
David Hamilton, former Red Sox, the guy he, he tried to take out
48:09
at at second or he, he clipped him.
48:12
But yeah, it was just a wild, wild couple of days for you.
48:19
Guys won't see each other again unless you both make the World
48:21
Series, so. Yeah, which I hate, man 'cause
48:26
like I said, I. Kind of liked a little.
48:28
Something was brewing there a little bit.
48:31
I want to see, I want to give me, give me Jacob Mesorowski on
48:35
a, on a silver platter. We own that guy.
48:41
OK. That's a lot, yeah.
48:46
Tell me I'm wrong, What? Do you give up to?
48:51
I think he, I think they charged.
48:53
I think they charged the third run to him.
48:55
Yeah, I'd say we own him, considering we were two and
48:59
eight at the time. Your defense looked impeccable
49:01
all week. So sorry that was a shot.
49:05
That was a shot. No, it was fair, fair.
49:09
No look we saw, but we took the series against Mitzerowski's
49:12
Brewers and I'm so I'm I'm cool, I'm cool.
49:17
Any other any other news items we got to cover?
49:22
Wasn't just. Me.
49:22
Or did that Dodgers? The Blue Jays series felt like
49:25
it was a week and a half long. I that I swore that started on
49:29
like last Friday. Who ended up winning today?
49:32
Did the Dodgers end up sweeping that thing?
49:34
Toronto won. Otani started the first start of
49:38
this year, first start of the season today.
49:42
His his scoreless streak is going back to like last year.
49:45
I think I just saw it was like what, 27 or 23, Yeah. 23 and
49:51
change. I'm I'm in on Otani.
49:53
Now that he's on my fantasy squad, I'm I'm all tapped in.
49:57
It's kind of hard to manage when you see the SI know I'm like
50:01
like is he start? What do you mean?
50:03
Was is he in the lineup or is he it's hard?
50:08
Is he in the ME the other day? Yeah, well, like what?
50:11
What side of the ball we we working with here that first
50:15
game of the series? I was Speaking of that.
50:16
Do do you see that little, little insult to injury?
50:21
We're putting Miggy Roe in to close it out.
50:24
Yeah, I think that was for sure on purpose. 14 to two, Yeah, big
50:29
fan of that. That's insulting.
50:31
Yeah, big fan of that. Big fan, huge fan.
50:38
Suck it, Canada. I just got you asked me that the
50:41
other day. You're like, do you still hate
50:42
the Blue Jays? I'm just like, honestly, I who
50:46
like, who is there to hate on the Blue Jays right now?
50:48
All of them I had all. Who I I can understand.
50:53
Bugs me now because of being a blue Jay.
50:56
He's on his way out, though. George Gladdy.
50:59
Gladdy, I could understand as you being the Yankees fan.
51:02
I get that. George Springer.
51:05
Whatever. I.
51:06
Can't stand George Springer. I don't.
51:09
I don't know. I can't explain it.
51:11
Can't explain it. I mean, you probably could 2017.
51:18
There's a lot of it, yeah, I think carried over from the
51:20
Astros hate and he, he just owns us.
51:24
That's probably. There you go.
51:26
There it is. Yeah, he explained it.
51:28
You know Guzman played against him in high school.
51:31
Like I, I kind. Of no way dude.
51:34
Hated him, then somehow I kind of still hate him.
51:37
Wow. Yeah, but I also kind of like,
51:41
hope he succeeds. It's weird.
51:43
It's a weird thing. Let's move on.
51:45
Let's move on. No, I'm asking you guys because
51:50
I admittedly was, I've been a little, little checked out last
51:52
few days trying to get this new floor in my office.
51:55
So I've, I've been sick flex, little tapped out.
52:02
No, it's not a sick flex. It'd be a sick flex if I said I
52:06
paid somebody to do it because we had the money to do it.
52:09
I'm doing it myself. How about my Rockies?
52:15
How about my being 6:00 and 6:00?
52:17
How about my White Sox? I mean it on the Asher.
52:20
I don't think your White Sox are 6 and 6.
52:22
They're 4:00 and 8:00, but they swept the Blue Jays.
52:26
We're just going to, we're going to roll right past that.
52:29
The defending American League champs.
52:32
And last in their division. I don't care.
52:36
I'm taking, I mean, I got the, I got the over.
52:38
I, I, what are that's the hill I'm dying on.
52:40
I'm I'm a big Rocky guy. What was the hill you?
52:44
What was the hill that. Was the hill I'm dying on.
52:47
So they're going to win more than I think.
52:48
I don't remember the line. It was 50 something, 55 I think.
52:52
55 games. That's the hill I'm dying on the
52:54
whole year. I don't care if everything else
52:56
is wrong. I will be right about that one
52:59
six and six. Hot start.
53:03
Put up a nine spot against the Astros today.
53:05
Let's go. 49 wins ago, yeah. Or I guess, no, I guess it'd be
53:11
50 because you said more than 55 if that was the number.
53:14
So it'd have to be 56. Means you got 50 countdown, 50
53:19
wins to go for the Rockies. That's it.
53:21
That's all we got to do, just chip away, just.
53:23
Chip away. You got you got what, 150 games
53:28
to do it? Yeah, You just got to win a
53:33
third of your games if you're the Rockies.
53:34
Like that winning percentage of 333.
53:37
Pretty hard to screw up. Speaking of, that's what the
53:42
White Sox have right now. What?
53:45
333. We're not here to talk about the
53:50
White Sox. I said my piece about the White
53:53
Sox and we moved on. I would say to all the fan bases
54:00
like Boston Red Sox fans and Detroit Tigers and hold on,
54:05
listen, let's. Talk about the White Sox.
54:07
He's like, yeah, so here's the reason the Red Sox are just.
54:10
I'm saying. Poop I have.
54:12
I'm just saying Red Sox specifically calling out these
54:16
teams in specific in in particular Tigers, Mariners, Red
54:19
Sox. I'll even throw in the the Cubs,
54:22
the Phillies. It's very early.
54:27
This season's not over. This is the same reason that
54:31
that, you know, some of these teams are hot, are hot or wait
54:36
it out. It's fine.
54:38
Hang in there. You do UKC don't sell the team.
54:41
Who? Cares, don't be crazy.
54:42
Don't listen to him. You're fine.
54:44
We would have gone to react if we would have gone, I mean, I
54:46
still think they should sell the team, but if we would have gone
54:47
to 2 and 10, if we would have gotten swept, I I don't know
54:51
what I would have done, but I tell you what I'm going to do
54:54
right now, I'm going to give you.
54:57
Marey's Question of the Week. Marey's question of the week.
55:02
It's been a minute. Glad to have Marey back in the
55:04
mix. Marey's question of the week.
55:07
And we don't have to. We don't have to drag this out.
55:10
So I know J BS already got his answer.
55:13
Locked and loaded. Marey's Question of the Week is
55:16
top three movie or show quotes you use on a daily or weekly
55:20
basis. I just, I feel, I feel like
55:28
that's what she said. It's just like too much of A
55:31
layup, you know? But it is, it's just, it's, it
55:37
never misses for me. It never misses.
55:40
It's never going to fade. I'm going to pass it on to my
55:45
kids. I'm going to pass it on
55:47
generations. I've got an office one that I
55:51
use a lot and I don't know that people necessarily catch catch
55:55
on to it because it's not the quote per SE, but it's the tone.
56:02
You know that scene for those who watch The Office, you know
56:04
that scene where Pam and Dwight are sitting in the break room
56:09
and Pam is talking to Dwight about Angela and, and give and
56:16
suggesting that he get her something that says how much he
56:21
cares about her. And he goes like a ham and she
56:23
goes, no, not like a ham. I use that inflection probably
56:30
10 times a day. And it'll be it'll be.
56:33
No, not fill in the blank. Yeah, I I mean I use that all.
56:38
That's a, that's a deep cut. That's.
56:40
A. It is a deep cut.
56:41
Yeah, well, we do our How I Met your mother thing all the time,
56:47
you know. Oh, right, that is what that's
56:49
from. Yeah.
56:50
Well, I'm I'm guessing, I don't know if it's out there.
56:57
I'm all jacked up on Mountain Dew, Talladega Nights, that's.
57:01
You say that a lot. Oh yeah, I'm.
57:04
Going to come at you like a spider monkey.
57:08
They were grandpa's wore medals off the bridge.
57:16
I think there are probably several movies that are just.
57:19
I could quote Tommy Boy, Dumb and Dumber.
57:22
Like in almost any context of life, almost heroes like these
57:29
are. Set generation right above us,
57:31
you know, Keep going. Those are timeless movies
57:35
though. Timeless.
57:38
But those movies in particular are are just forever Dang it
57:43
Bobby from King of the Hill. I I mean like if I stub my toe,
57:46
I say Dang it Bobby. It's, it's just, it's a part of
57:50
my everyday reaction to things. I mean, to the point where like
57:57
my 3 year old I've heard say Dang it Bobby before.
58:00
It's no clue what that's from other than hearing me say it.
58:07
Oh man, I'm going to think of some other ones.
58:09
I will also say Katie tells me all the time, like I will try to
58:14
avoid using the ones that I use all the time and she'll just
58:20
give me a look and say go ahead because she knows what's coming.
58:23
It's so predictable. Anytime anyone says both of
58:27
them, I just think of the Dumb and Dumber scene where I go both
58:30
of them. I have to do it.
58:36
I I wouldn't say it's a direct quote, but it's an inflection
58:40
kind of similar what you were saying.
58:43
Big, big king of Queens guy. So it's like the you know, like
58:52
the you know what, what what is I mean, some of the words that
58:57
he says is like fornicacion. You know what I mean?
59:00
Like that I'll do. If there's like a shun at the
59:04
end of a of a word like tion, it's gonna eon.
59:09
I'm gonna RIP that. I will never see Domino's Pizza
59:13
without thinking of the the opening scene of 1 like.
59:16
Domino's the. Local joint Domino's.
59:19
You talking about Domino's? Pass the cats up.
59:25
And he he tells him how to dial the number and he says 16.
59:28
He's like, I can't go back in time and throw a one in there.
59:32
How about use a little phone number etiquette?
59:36
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba. That's it's a great show.
59:41
I'm going to run it back. I'm I'm inspired.
59:42
It is a great show. The the I'm not superstitious,
59:46
but I'm a little sicious. Yep.
59:49
Yep. Oh, when Kevin's like my dogs
59:52
are barking, I say that all the time, especially at this ripe
59:56
age of 32. Is that how he puts his feet in
59:58
the in the tissue? Boxes.
1:00:00
No, he puts him in the ER. Like after the wedding, yeah.
1:00:04
After the fact, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:05
Puts him in the ice chest in the in the hotel.
1:00:09
My dogs are barking, all right, that I think that satisfies her.
1:00:14
That was good, yeah. He's killing me, Smalls.
1:00:16
That's. A good one.
1:00:19
JB, you got you Got some quick trivia for us.
1:00:22
Yeah, yeah. Hey, this this past Monday.
1:00:27
Hey. Let's let's give a a little
1:00:31
shout out to Jose Ramirez surpassing Terry Turner as the
1:00:34
franchise leader in games played for Cleveland with 1600.
1:00:38
And 20 games. Played Terry Turner, that was.
1:00:42
That's not one anybody's pulling, I don't think.
1:00:44
You know him, you love him. At this point, you know, nobody
1:00:48
really likes the name Guardians. So it seems nobody in in that
1:00:51
area of the country. Let's just rename it to the
1:00:53
Hosies. That's what that's what Tom
1:00:56
Hamilton likes to refer to him as.
1:00:59
I mean, they, they did this before with, with my guy and
1:01:03
then my name game guy, Napoleon Lajaway.
1:01:06
They renamed the the team the Cleveland Naps because he was on
1:01:11
the team. Been done before.
1:01:13
Been done before, let's do it again.
1:01:15
Who says? No, this is all new to me, dude.
1:01:19
All new. No idea.
1:01:22
You didn't know that. There you go.
1:01:24
No idea. All right, so listen, Cleveland
1:01:28
is. Rarely on my mind, JB.
1:01:30
We are not going to obviously go through.
1:01:32
All the Ray Charles song that he wrote Cleveland.
1:01:41
They use it for the masters. It's the theme song for the
1:01:44
masters anyway. Anyway, go ahead.
1:01:47
All right. So obviously.
1:01:49
Ohio. It's on the river.
1:01:52
Everybody knows this. Or the the lake, whatever.
1:01:54
Everybody knows this. All right, What's the trivia?
1:01:57
All right. So we're not going to go through
1:01:58
all the teams, right. So you can you can hand pick
1:02:01
what you want, but is there any, is there any teams that you can
1:02:04
tell me to the the team leader and games played?
1:02:08
You want to go Brewers? I don't know if you do, what do
1:02:12
you got? Here's what I have here.
1:02:14
I have I have the team leader, the all time leader.
1:02:18
I've got a runner up that probably doesn't matter much,
1:02:21
but I could tell if you're close.
1:02:23
And then we have an active player leader in games played.
1:02:27
So you know what I mean? So for any team, you can throw a
1:02:30
team out there and see if you can get the the all time leader
1:02:34
in games played or the active leader.
1:02:37
Now they don't have to be playing for that team right now.
1:02:40
You want to cheat? I think we can cheat a little
1:02:42
bit. Ryan Zimmerman, Nationals.
1:02:44
Why is that cheating? Because it's like, is it the
1:02:48
whole franchise or we just, you know, like the history of the
1:02:52
whole? French nationals, are we talking
1:02:54
Expos? Right, right.
1:02:55
Right. I will say it doesn't matter.
1:02:57
That is true. He is the leader.
1:03:00
Bang, let's. Go bang.
1:03:05
So there is an active player who would be the active leader in
1:03:10
games played. And this is interesting because
1:03:17
you're also, he's also the active leader for another team.
1:03:22
That specifically the Nationals. The guy who's the the active,
1:03:27
the player who's still active, who has the most games for the
1:03:30
nationals, also has the most games as an active player for
1:03:34
another team. Whoa.
1:03:39
You're saying we established Zimmerman as all time, but
1:03:44
you're saying. He's all time, yeah, but he's
1:03:45
not that. Guy for the Nats, yes.
1:03:48
Yeah, he's the all time there is a guy who is still active.
1:03:52
So that's what this number is. It's just anyone who's active
1:03:55
who has the most for a team among other active.
1:04:02
Players. No, I yeah, I know that.
1:04:04
OK, he's saying. I was just making sure active
1:04:06
question. Current national who's also no
1:04:10
no no. An active leader for another
1:04:12
team. No, he's saying the Nationals
1:04:15
are one of the teams. Yeah, could be, could also be
1:04:19
active still for the other team, could be active for a third team
1:04:21
and still have done this. Gotcha.
1:04:24
Hint, he's not, and he's not currently active for the for the
1:04:28
Nationals either. So this has nothing to do with
1:04:33
the Nationals, Harper. Harper, Harper As far as active
1:04:38
players, he's played the most games for the Nationals and the
1:04:40
Phillies now obviously, so we'll pivot that.
1:04:46
Who is the all time Phillies games played leader?
1:04:50
Schmidt. Killing it.
1:04:52
You guys are killing it. Do your teams now?
1:04:55
Give me the Yankees, Nate. Jeter's all time.
1:05:00
That's it. This one's easy.
1:05:04
Guy was a liability of short. Active Stanton.
1:05:09
No. Judge, Yeah.
1:05:13
What? Judge Judge, the active leader
1:05:16
for the Yankees. Wow all.
1:05:19
Right. How about Red Sox, Kyle?
1:05:20
Is Stanton the leader for the Marlins?
1:05:23
He is. Hey, I'm killing her right now.
1:05:28
Just the active though, not the all time, yeah.
1:05:30
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What do you got for the Red Sox,
1:05:33
Kyle? Can we do that one real quick?
1:05:35
Can we do all time? Marlins Yeah, What do you got?
1:05:48
Full time. Marlins.
1:05:50
You wanted to, which isn't very long, so I feel like this is one
1:05:53
of the more gettable I. Don't know if he's there,
1:05:59
Hanley. Not Hanley, he spent some time
1:06:03
other places, like quite a bit. Yeah, yeah.
1:06:06
I just figured he was young when he came up.
1:06:09
Red Sox all time great Hanley Ramirez.
1:06:18
Did you hear that super quick tangent?
1:06:21
Did you hear that's you probably didn't the story that Brock Holt
1:06:24
shared about the reason they let him go or one of the reasons
1:06:28
they let him go just out of nowhere.
1:06:31
He said Brock Holt was telling the story.
1:06:33
He said he Hanley Ramirez looked at him one day they were get
1:06:36
they're warming up for a game. Hanley Ramirez looked at him.
1:06:39
They're stretching the outfield and goes I'm going to, I'm going
1:06:43
to bring a gun tomorrow and shoot you or something or
1:06:47
something like this. It was something about.
1:06:50
Guns isn't 2 episodes. Yeah, what?
1:06:53
What about What about 3? What's going on?
1:06:56
There 3 gun references. Yeah.
1:06:59
Anyway, they're on fire. Oh, I don't even know.
1:07:03
Marlins all time? Is it an infielder?
1:07:05
It is. Oh, Miguel Cabrera.
1:07:09
It's not Miguel Cabrera. Do you think Mike Lowell was
1:07:11
there long enough? It's kind of like my way of
1:07:14
guessing. No, not my.
1:07:16
Conine. Conine's number 2.
1:07:18
He is the runner up shoot. Bang, I'll take #2 that's pretty
1:07:25
good. All right, Luis Castillo was #1
1:07:28
Nah. It wasn't getting.
1:07:29
Loose So Red Sox, though, Kyle, I need you to give me the Red
1:07:31
Sox. I mean, Ted Williams seems like
1:07:39
a good place to start. Not Ted Williams you missed.
1:07:43
He missed a few years there. Yeah, that's true.
1:07:46
Because he's a freaking legend. It's probably somebody from like
1:07:55
the Free. It's probably like, Nope, Billy
1:07:57
Bob. Billy Bob Millworker.
1:08:01
No, you can get this. Not like not super recent, but.
1:08:05
David Ortiz. Not David Ortiz.
1:08:07
Nope. But Pedroia, not Pedroia.
1:08:11
Definitely not Petroia. It was like a guy that missed
1:08:14
time. Yeah, that's true.
1:08:16
He. Was only there.
1:08:19
Coco Krish. No, I'm just kidding.
1:08:21
No, that's not. Like, I just listened to to a
1:08:24
podcast that had Pat Murphy, another guy we brought up in
1:08:28
this episode, talking about Dustin Pedroia and his case to
1:08:31
be in the Hall of Fame is pretty interesting.
1:08:32
ASU guy. Oh my gosh.
1:08:40
It's a tough look. It was a tough look.
1:08:46
Jason Varitek. Not Varitek.
1:08:49
Older, older. Keep going back, but not like
1:08:55
the actual red sock on the jersey that far back.
1:08:58
Fair, fair, fair. What am I missing here?
1:09:03
Yeah, I mean, this is a. What decade?
1:09:07
That's a good question. I mean by.
1:09:08
Ballpark just. Pulling out decades, I can give
1:09:11
it to you, but 60s to 80s, sixties, 70s mostly we'll say
1:09:19
that is. That Carlton Fisk.
1:09:23
No, no. But you're you're close there
1:09:25
with the first name, not. That Carlos Shrimpski.
1:09:28
There you go. Any guesses on the active player
1:09:32
who's played the most games for the Red Sox?
1:09:40
And it he wouldn't have to currently be playing for the
1:09:42
red. Sox Yeah, and I'll give you the
1:09:43
hint, since, you know, I'll give you the hint.
1:09:46
He's not I. I yeah, I know He's not.
1:09:48
He's definitely not on this team.
1:09:51
Let's go. It's Xander Bogart.
1:09:59
There you go, you got it. You got it.
1:10:02
Brian. I don't know if there's any
1:10:07
other teams that that are that are worth it, but Paul
1:10:10
Goldschmidt is the active leader for the Diamondbacks and the
1:10:15
Cardinals. I thought that was interesting.
1:10:18
Manny Machado, the Orioles and the Padres.
1:10:22
Yeah, wow. Wait.
1:10:24
Don't keep giving them to us, Nate.
1:10:25
Pick a team. I didn't know how far you wanted
1:10:26
to go. Let's let's close with one more.
1:10:29
All right, I'll, I'll give you 1 here that you just named.
1:10:33
This is a I'm going to tie it in with what with the Red Sox guy,
1:10:37
active leader for the Giants. Oh yeah, that's a good one to
1:10:41
end with active the Giants. And there's a tie.
1:10:52
This one shocked me. This one shocked me.
1:11:04
Let's go. Trying to think of the tie it.
1:11:12
Was with the Red Sox. He was at one point with the Red
1:11:20
Sox. No, that the the tie is with
1:11:23
what is with one of the Red Sox answers.
1:11:36
The all time leader in games played for the Red Sox has a
1:11:39
very specific tie with this player.
1:11:41
Oh, Mike. Yes, Mike Ostremsky.
1:11:45
Brenda the Pot. No.
1:11:47
Well, yeah, I thought you said connection.
1:11:48
I thought you meant my Xander guests.
1:11:54
I thought you were tying that to Devers.
1:11:55
And I'm like Devers has been there for like 3 days so it
1:11:59
couldn't be Devers. Right.
1:12:00
Yeah. OK.
1:12:02
Wait, So that's that's active all time would be Willie Mays,
1:12:07
correct? Willie Mays is correct.
1:12:10
There is there is one team with two players at the top.
1:12:15
We're going to do the whole league, aren't we?
1:12:17
One, well, no, I'm just going to tell you just because it's it's
1:12:20
relevant to this, to this episode specifically, one team
1:12:25
with two players at the very top and that is Roberto Clementi,
1:12:30
Honus Wagner, same amount of games played.
1:12:32
They are the franchise leaders for the buyers.
1:12:34
For now, Till Connor Griffin entered the same.
1:12:38
He'll be out of the league by 20-30.
1:12:42
Just kidding. Just kidding.
1:12:46
By the way, Bobby Benny is still getting paid one more year
1:12:50
longer than Connor Griffin. Of that.
1:12:54
Same 2433 games for Clementi and Wagner.
1:13:02
Speaking of games, we're going to be watching some games this
1:13:05
Sunday. Let's go.
1:13:08
Sunday Clubhouse making its debut.
1:13:10
I'm pumped. Making his way downtown.
1:13:14
What? What?
1:13:15
Keep going with that. Going back to the quote thing,
1:13:19
it's not from a movie or show, but Nate does it.
1:13:21
Nate started doing that a long time ago and I do that all the
1:13:24
time now. Or I'll look at somebody like
1:13:26
what? But yeah, Sunday clubhouse will
1:13:31
be literally it's just hanging out.
1:13:33
There's no agenda. There's literally no agenda.
1:13:36
Hanging out, talking ball, watching ball, maybe, maybe no
1:13:40
pressure, just hanging with the boys, I think.
1:13:44
JB, will you be in attendance? Yeah.
1:13:48
JB will be in attendance, maybe sprinkling in some trivia as we
1:13:52
go. But yeah, we're just going to.
1:13:53
We're going to pull up the afternoon slate on on Sunday,
1:13:58
eat some seeds just hanging out. If you're not able to do that on
1:14:03
Sunday, the only other way to see this hang out and live this
1:14:07
