• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I think I was glad, and I've known Blaid for years.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: There's no way he's throwing a punch.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: All right, let's hit a legendary arena club segment. So
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: here's the game we're gonna play. I was on a
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: radio station the other day, the fan in Atlanta, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: they asked this, and I'm like, I'm gonna use this.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Three players you start your team with treated as you
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: can take anyone in baseball, and then you're taking one, two, three,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: any players. The money is not a factor. You just
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: pluck three players.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: See, we did this differently, though, I want to I
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: want to preface this. I did it as like we
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: were doing a draft and there were supposed to be
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: in a certain order. Like if if the three of
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: us were going to do a draft and you said, okay,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: any three players and I was trying to build a
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: real team. Okay, you did this where you're trying to
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: build a fantasy team that's not a real team.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: No, I want it to be a real team.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Well, you can't have the same person as me, though,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: because I drafted ahead of you.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: That's not how I'm doing it. I'm just saying you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: can pick three players that you want Why does it
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: matter if you and me are the same player in
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: our dream team that we're building.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: That wasn't the assignment I was given.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Well, we're arguing we didn't even start yet, Eric, you
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: go first, Okay.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: I picked Atalie Rushman, Sandy Data in this order. No, no, no, no, no,
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: just the three and Sandy Alcnteta and Gunner Henderson. To me,
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: I'm set up the middle when I do this. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: obviously have been high on the Orioles, so I tacked
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: two Orioles. But I think Gunnar Henderson's not only one
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: of the top two shortstops in the game, but I
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: think he's a top five player in the game. And
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: he's young. I can build around that. I can build
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: around a shortstop. I have a pitcher in Sandy Alcntara. Now,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: I thought I was gonna take Hunter Brown, but I said,
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: maybe that's a little more recncy biased. When Alcatra gets
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: his full health back, and I know he said he
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: wants to still pitch like he's not injured the year before,
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: but when he's fully healthy, he wants the ball every
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: single day. He doesn't care about his strikeouts, he doesn't
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: care about anything but winning.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Talking to him.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: This is the type of young pitcher that I want,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: and he's not super young. And I could have taken schemes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I get that, but this guy has done it and
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: he is a guy that can anchor rotation and Adalie
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: will lead them all. Adlie Rutchman behind a dish catching
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: is super important to me and I think he's one
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: of the best ones out there.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair, fine, he's at oriole heavy, he's going homeward.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: My quick quick question here, Okay, first off, with al
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Contra going, you feel like there's other pitchers right now
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: that are better than him. Likes Google and schemes, and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you're building this for the long term. I love him,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: but why did you overlook them?
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Why did I?
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: Because I was going after a guy who has done
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: it and maybe less the recency bias of him being hurt,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: something about his mentality. Because we're not playing a three
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: on three tournament here, We're playing you have to build
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: around a team, and I there is the level respect
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: that I have for Sandy just from talking to him
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: two different times. He is that guy that I would
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: want to build around. Is he the best pitcher in
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: the game? Absolutely not. That's the route I was going.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair for me to go yep.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, So I didn't mind a little different. I didn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: mind like a draft, like if we were going to
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: do a draft. Okay, and in this order is how
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: so I take Bobby Wedge in your first Okay, because he.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Can kind of do it all.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Plays shortstop, which is super important to me, can hit
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: for power, can run, plays unbelievable defense.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: My next guy I took was cal Rawley, big dumper,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: because platinum Glove winner catcher plays every day, which is
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: super duper important to me. Yes, Adley plays, but he
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: dhs cal Rawley, he catches every day, and he's already
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: got one hundred homers he's on plus he's SI. I know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: contracts don't matter, but switch hitter like Adley plays every
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: single day and knows how to handle a pitching staff,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: wants to play every day. And then third, you can
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: say whatever you want. But again I thought this was
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: like round one, Round two, Round three. I took Logan
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Web Why because you know what, he's super reliable. He
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: takes the ball at a fifth day, thirty three, thirty three,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: thirty two, starts the last three years. He's got a
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: three to three era in his career. He takes the ball,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: he gets ground balls, which Bobby Wick and Gofield right,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And he thinks farts are funny, which farts are always funny,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: so I mean, and they're never gonna not be funny.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: So I had to add him in there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: And I know it's a little bit off the beaten path,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: but I like guys to take the ball every fifth day.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have an injury history, and why not, Skians
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: are school school. I know has been great, but he
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: also hurt his arm before. Skeens hasn't pitched enough yet.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: I need to see him make thirty plus starts and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: do it for a whole year, whereas Logan Web has
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: done it for a long time. And I think if
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: you start off an organization with those three guys, you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: can build around those two guys. Look, Web's gonna get sinkers,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: what's gonna field them? And cal Rowly knows how to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: catch it and throw the dudes out on the steel.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I did a different We all kind of
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: did this different, Yeah, we did. And also keep in
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: mind that you have to build really a forty man
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: roster these days. So you don't know what the rest
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of this all looks like. You're just picking what you
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: think is important to you, that's all. Yeah, okay, so
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Farts is important to me, just right exactly. If you
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: haven't seen the video of people, go look at it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, look it up.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It's your team. You get to do what you want
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: with it and see what happens for me. Show hey,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Otani's best player on the planet right now. He hits,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: he should pitch again. Even if he doesn't, I think
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: he would be an elite outfielder. So I'm good there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Best player on the planet should be the case. Still
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: four years to come, Bobby Witt Junior for me, sure player.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: This isn't a draft. No one ever made that rule.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: That's a faker picked ahead of you.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: So I've got Otani and Wit. That's a good start.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I've got a pitcher, a dh future outfielder okay, whatever,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a future outfielder. Guys, don't start knocking, show hey Otani.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: We're not. But it's a pitcher. I can knock him
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: because he doesn't pitch. Fine, okay, what you said, not
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: show hey, yes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, best hitter eventual elite outfielder, could be a pitcher
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: still this year, he's going to pitch Bobby wit junior
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: all around player. Kind of easy one, retweeting what Aj said.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Third one, for me, I'm like, who do I want
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: with one at bat in a postseason game or just
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: all your consistency plays every day, the whole deal. Highest
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: paid player in baseball, I'm taking Sodo. Actually was thinking
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: about Tucker a little bit because he's much more of
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: an all around player. But for me, I went with Soto.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I'm like, take that wit Otani Sodo all year and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. Yes, Judge was in consideration as well,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He's a little bit older.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: For me.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: One at bat, for my life, I'm going Soto over Judge,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: especially in the playoffs. Right now, I think that Soto
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is a tougher out right. He's either gonna get on
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: base or he's gonna do something clutch. So those are
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: my three, Okay, I still got myself premium bats. I've
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: got a potential ace pitcher, and if not, an elite outfielder,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I've got my shortstop up the middle, and then I'll
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: figure out the rest. You guys are catchers. You focused
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: on that. I love catchers too, But I'm okay getting
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a really good receiver who's not a great hitter, and
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: he's towards the bottom of my lineup. I don't think
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that we're in a point right now in an era
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: where there are these insane superstar catchers. So for me,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I wasn't going to go there based on the talent
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: pool right now.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, cal Rawley argues with you. Okay, by the way,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: I love when guys we have on the show. Homer
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: and Jahn just went yeah, see, so he needs to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: come back on again, justin Henry Malloyd.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: But in case things who Jahn is?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: But yes, he is a big FT fan and he's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a great dude and maybe a future host on FT
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: in ten years. What's wrong with my list?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: You did fantasy drift? Krafts and I were actually trying
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: to build an organization.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I can build an organization with those three.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: You can't pay them all though you're the cubs. You
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: can't pay them all.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: What was the first rule I put in the text
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: group this morning?
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Krafts, Nope, no matter, no matter the money, I think
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: I think it has to be less of a We
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: need parameters because you're You're sitting there going who do
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: I want with one at bat? And the player like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: are you playing for just this year? Are you building
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: the team for just this year? I had more of
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: a long You got no pitch.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You're going to fill out the rest of the Rocott.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: You got a lot of runs.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: What I'm just worried about this year? What about twenty
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: twenty six? Oh and you got who's going to pitch?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Game two? In game three? If that's not how this
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: got one game, franchise.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Play take my guy, I'll take this. I'll take Crowd's
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: a nice team over years.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: This is three years to come because.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: We can at least get somebody out.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, Tony can get people out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Let's put it this way. Let's put it this way.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: You have to be three to a pole.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, YouTube post which team do you like the best? Okay?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And some people are participating. You want me to give
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you some answers from our fans? Sure, okay, Ellie said
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Skeen's Soto wit. Okay, that was good. And I was
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: considering a picture and I put.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Again, we all did it different ways, right, So, like
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: I thought it was like a draft, and I thought
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: crowds did his day, and I don't know what you
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: were thinking.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Ricky, said gunner Henderson Jackson s curio Paul skeins, he's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: definitely playing.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: The long honk long game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Ali, you have to.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: When you when you do this and you pick three guys,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: if you're picking for a whole organization and a whole team,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: I have a hard time not picking the central location.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: If there's an elite center fielder in the game, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: have to take an elite centerfielder catching. I gotta be
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: solid behind a dish and shortstop. And then you have
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: to have that starting pitcher that's gonna start game one
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: of your playoffs. And I think that's if your team
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: isn't built around that, that's tough off to build a
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: team around. If it's not those positions. Okay, find me
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: a good team that doesn't have a catcher. Scott seems
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: not good. You don't have a catcher.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Does it need to be an elite hitter?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: See that? Look, I just got those.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Took care of DH the position that every organization has
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: a d H in triple A that's going to hit
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: thirty homers. But he took care of d H because
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: he took the best hitter, and he thinks he's also
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: going to.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Pick the biggest contracts. He just wanted to take the
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: biggest contracts. His money is no object. That's all you
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: want to do is just take.
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: He's a contractman.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Oh Tani Soto. What's not up there with the rest?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got a big contract. Pa, guys trying
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: to find a bargain. The numbers are all the same,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: everything zero right now, we're just trying to find I'm projecting.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: So we're gonna talking about and by the way, money also,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: by the way, producer Lady made it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: Third place.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I don't I still wait, this is this is how
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: we should cap this. I I genuinely don't understand what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: you're talking about with this draft. To think, like you said,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Logan Web round three, you don't know who else got taken?
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: What is this draft?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Who said Logan Web? Is this?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: There's thirty teams. There's thirty teams, but.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: You're just making up like you said, you said, if
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: you got to pick a team, then pick a team.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: And I'm assuming there's twenty nine other teams, not just
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: one team. But my point is I was like, okay, well, first,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: if I have the first pick, I'm gonna take wit
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: because it's short sop. And then by the time it
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: gets back to me, cawl still be there. And then
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: it gets back to me again.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: So you're saying with like the see I'm going I'm
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: doing it like a real life.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: You're doing it like money right. You're saying like like
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I never won with the sixties, you're doing money ball
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: than never one. I'm doing real life.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: The sixty something pick was Logan Web. But wait and
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: your fan of see World, what if someone grabbed them
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: at forty eight. You're just like, well, Web's still here.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We're at pick number sixty four.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: Now up, that's right.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: That's why it's fun.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Though my world's gone, you're just living it.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: That's your world.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: My world has and I had the.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: First pick and then it snaked around to me and
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I had like sixty one sixty two.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to face you guys in the playoffs with
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: my team.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: But no pitching and catching.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: No, we should do Should we do this where we
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: actually draft teams based.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: On the money is no object?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, based on how you build a team and what
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: it looks like. Well, no, that's like fantasy.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: Can I bring in a special guest picker because you
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: just don't want to do it? Pretty much gets it problem?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Probably not.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe AJ just simulates the draft and he's like, well,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I guess logan Web's available.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Nailed it, crushed it. Sorry that you guys don't like

• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Thirty six lost gotta where there it is Boom.
• 13:10

• 13:13
  Speaker 5: for the Rangers. I hit almost as good for the Giants.

  Speaker 7: I was gonna be nice today, but then both of
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: you guys came in pretty hostile and I'm not dealing
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: with it today.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Now, Who is hostile?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I just asked, if you hit in the cage where
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the bar is, where the people stand there and watch
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: you while you're hitting, that was that a hostile quick?
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: No? Because you were insinuating something else.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: No, I wasn't the case.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I said, with all the people watching, are you? Is
• 15:12

• 15:24
  Speaker 1: here you go.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: He's not an insidesman.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: No, but I have seen a couple of things. Did
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: you guys see Terry Francona do that the other day?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I think, no, No, what did he do?
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I saw it on TV.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it was the other day, but
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: I saw on TV him without a shirt the other day.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: It's kind of funny.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: For his birthday?
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Was his birthday?
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: Was his birthday?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Was his birth yesterday?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Yesterday?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Rowdy? How is Toronto? How is the series?
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: Uh? It was good and it took two or three
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: I was it was. It was nice to be back
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: at you know, it's always fun to go back there
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: and see familiar faces. There's just not a lot of
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: guys left. Definitely played with bow And and Vlaid with
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: the only two guys left there that I played with,
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: but did see everybody's always good.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Did you feel like, here's your classic broadcaster question. Did
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: you feel like you were amped for a series like
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: this because you've got, you know, emotional connection to playing there.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't say that, but I did. We did have
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: communication with him in the offseason, and you know, it
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: was a destination that was a possibility to go.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And I ultimately ended up here and happy to be here.
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: And so it was kind of like a you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: just a little bit of like, hey, I can still
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: do it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: How close?
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: How close were you just going there? How close were
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: you just signing back there this offseason?
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: Not very close, but it was like a team that
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: reached out and they kind of said, oh, we don't
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: want to have time for you type of thing. They
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: were waiting on Peter Alonzo, and then when Pete didn't sign,
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: you know, they had try to get some other guys,
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: and then.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: By then I was you know, and it was with Seattle.
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: So I wouldn't say it was like crazy close, but
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: you know, it was definitely a team that reached out
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: and had communication more than once.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: Is that why you tried to kill a man at
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: first base? Or is that just what you do? Is
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: that just what you do? You're just that much in
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: a unit that nobody can even run run you over.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I mean, Roden didn't even do nothing to you, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: you dropped that man, and then you tagged him afterwards
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: like like he was what a video like.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: He was going to be.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I did not kick his helmet. See there's this, this
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: is one I'm talking about.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: There you go, I'll tell you what I did want.
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: I wanted to kick his helmets. Why I walk out
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: next to it was.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But the throw. The throw just took me in the line.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: And for a physics major like he is, he would
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: think that he would know those things that you know,
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: when a little older person tries to run over somebody
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: that's bigger, it's not gonna go well.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: But he ultimately he was okay.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: I mean I think it for for for what had happened,
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: it could have been worse, you know, like a good thing.
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: I wasn't traveling forward or momentum going forward or anything.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: I was trying to get out of the way. So
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: but you know, ultimately it was okay. I think knock
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: the win at himself pretty good. But yeah, I told
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: my picture. I'm like, hey, I told you guys, I
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: would get run over for you guys, But I didn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: tell that the other kid was gonna be okay.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he is a tough catch.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: That was a tough catch.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: You had to catch it on the other side of
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: the runner, like, that's that's something that you see a
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: lot of first basemen who are like on big contracts,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: kind of short arm and let that John go in
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: the right field. You have to earn your spot and
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: you're like, no, I'm gonna go get it on the
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: other side of the runner. So hat tip from me
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: for hanging in there and making that play, because a
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: lot of dudes give the old like Ricky Waters, Nope, nope,
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: hold by my arm back and just let someone else
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: go get it now.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, dude, you gotta do We gotta get.
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Out, you know, sometimes it just it happens. I just
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: I thought I could get out of the way, But
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: sometimes I forget how you I actually am, you know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: kind of nimble over.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: There, you're not spry.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: But did did you go up to cal Rawle and say,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: I'm big dumper now after taking that dude out with
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: your dumper?
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: No, he's I give him a new name every day
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: for that thing back there, you know, big backside BBL.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Whatever can come to mind that day is is what
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I give him.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: But no, I'm still got a flat ass.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Hey, what would have happened?
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Hey?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I want to know because I text you and I
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: told the story. What would happen if I would have
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: run your ass over?
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: You wouldn't have kicked my home?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: No?
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They stretcher, do you off?
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: There's no chance?
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, you tried to run. You want me to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: tell a story.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I read the text right live. I've told the text
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: right on the air, live on the air.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: I said it wouldn't go well for you.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I said, you're lucky that I wasn't the one running,
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: And you said, ha ha, you're lucky.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're lucky.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: If it was you, you'd be faced down on the ground. No,
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't even tried to catch the ball. I would
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: have just put an elbow right in your jugular.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: But we would have won the game. I would have
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: been on third.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: No, No, you'd have been eating out of a trachea
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: for a week, rowdy.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: Should we have? Should we have? Should we have competitions?
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not saying that box give me boxing. We're
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: talking about We're going.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: At it like back, like back when day.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: They used to they used to have dudes that would
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: compete in like different competitions. Baseball guys are always like
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: they're always talking smack, like you two are talking smack
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: to each other. Should we have some type of like
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: wide world of sports competition where like anybody can anybody
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: can join. It's like five different events, boxing, wrestling, shooting
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: hoops and see who the best athlete is in Major
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: League Baseball?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Oh that'd be good.
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, do some some stuff that like we don't ever
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: really get to do, right, you know, there's the age
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: long debate and who the best athletes are.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I said baseball players are able to play the most sports.
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: I've never said we are the most athletic, but I
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: do think we are capable of playing the most sports
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: at a pretty high level, just because I think baseball
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: is the hardest sport to play. So I think, you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: we can catch football as we can throw football pretty well.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Most of us are pretty good at shooting hoops, soccer.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: I don't know if the running aspects really in the
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: cards for us, but golf golf definitely. But yeah, you know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: I think we can play the most sports. But yeah,
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: you've got to do like obscure sports up and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: oo type stuff.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, god, beer pong, dodgeball, dodgeball, beer pong.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Baseball players would be good at dodgeball or yeah, wait,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: I got shamboo, I got one. Were you guys ready
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: to throw down with the Jays over the sign stealing
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: accusations against your boy cow?
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: I don't know what happened because I was the one
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: that was hitting, and I punched out on like three pitches,
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: So I don't know how that really works.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: But hell, you the wrong ones on purpose?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. I think he was a think
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: he's jealous of my haircut. I don't know. Yeah, I
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: What happened because when you look in and read lips,
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: looks like he said I didn't have them, and Embarrio
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: says okay, and then kind of just fizzled out. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: don't know what was going on, But you know, I
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: don't know. That was the second game of the series. Yeah,
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: I just I think there's just a lot of a
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: lot of stuff going on. But yeah, if we had
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: the signs, two things, I missed it and I missed
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: the ball, so we definitely didn't.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: Have Do you guys talk about that trying to steal signs?
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Do you talk about trying to see like the teams
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: that use because the braves are they're still using signs,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: so do you try to like do you guys talk
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: about like trying to ooh, I think I know which
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: button he's hitting. Do you guys talk about that on
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: the bench or is that kind of just fizzled out?
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: No?
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: I mean most of those catchers cover up the buttons
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: and then there's only like one or two teams that
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: even use signs. That's what I said. All these pitch
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: coms that don't work, they always like, oh I need
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: a new one. I'm like, whatever happened to just one?
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: Heaters two's curveball, wiggles A change up? Fucking we have
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: everybody every pitcher has fourteen pitches now, so probably need
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: an extra hand for sweepers and cutters and two seamers
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: and one seamers and rise balls. And I don't know,
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: but yeah, change can't really get it from the catcher.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: You run out, they're running out of button drawd is
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: the problem?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I just don't get it done. Like why why
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: do you think that you think they were just trying
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: to like start something like why do you think a
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: modern team would be looking at this scenario and looking
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: back and thinking Cow's doing that? And then also, like
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: you mentioned, looking at the results of the fourth I
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: think and the fifth inning or something like that, And
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: it's not like you guys, you know, I'd put a
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: ten spot on them.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, like honestly, I mean, it's something
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: that trying to figure out too. Like Barris was down
• 24:47
  Speaker 7: a good game, so it wasn't like we were doing anything,
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: you know, it's just down a good game.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: And I think it made like one mistake all all game,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: maybe two because Ben ended a hitting a home run.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know.
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: I think there was just maybe a little frustration or
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: I know in twenty twenty two there was a big
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: series against them and in the playoffs or to go
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: to the playoffs or something, and yeah, I could still
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: be a build up, but I wasn't there for that,
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: so I honestly don't know. It caught me off guard
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: because I was actually I think I was going to
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: the bathroom. I think I was taking a leak and
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: I came running out of the bathroom because everybody.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Was like yelling. I was just walking back up the steps. So, yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I it caught me off guard. I'll tell you that.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Is that why you weren't in that video trying to
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: get it Vlad Junior, because he took his glove off,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and I didn't see rowdy anywhere in that video.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: We just showed.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Probably, I'm gonna be honest with you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, I mean I watched when I got like,
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: let's go.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, he did not. He just didn't want to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: have his glove.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: On right here.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: What he's like, all right, I played was glad and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I've known him Glad for years. There's no way he's
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: throwing a punch.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: He's too nice to the guy cal talk about how
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: much he kills the Blue Jays?
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: Did he talk about it before the series? Like, man,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: these guys like we talked.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: We talked about it on the bench.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: We were talking about just like pictures that you had
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: success off of and stuff like that, and.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: He was like.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: He I asked him. I was like, Who's who's your
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: like team?
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: You know, like playing in the NL Central all those years,
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: Like I was like, uh, you know, you get to
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: face all these people.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But he's playing in the AL his whole career.
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: He doesn't say that doesn't mean he has a ton
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: of games against the Blue Jays, but he said that
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: he has like nine or ten homers, and he just
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: really he.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Likes likes facing him.
• 26:54
  Speaker 7: And I was like, everybody's got one, everybody's got a
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: team that they just love to face.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: So hed it say he does like facing the Blue Jays.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Do you like facing the Blue Ches after three homers
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: in three games?
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: M M, it's not It's not terrible. I mean, if
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that's the result every.
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: Time you play him, then I think, I'm I got
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: you gotta take that. But no, you know somewhere where
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: I'd hit before, spent a lot of time in the
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: Roger Center, so you kind of.
• 27:26
