0:28
[SPEAKER_01]: here to talk some baseball it's been a couple of weeks you guys were both otherwise occupied last week so we with so much else going on decided just to give it a week off but now no more basketball no more football baseball's kind of no more hockey baseball's kind of in the world to itself now and as we had past the halfway point to the all star break guys
0:55
[SPEAKER_01]: When I talk nationally, central, we get need to talk all stars.
0:57
[SPEAKER_01]: There's all kinds of headlines from the last couple of weeks, Cody.
1:01
[SPEAKER_01]: You take the lead.
1:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Where do we start?
1:04
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I think as we always typically do with the NL central and it's been the reds have just been not it's been one of those things where they've kind of cooled off.
1:21
[SPEAKER_02]: to look at the standings.
1:22
[SPEAKER_02]: They're fifty and forty seven.
1:25
[SPEAKER_02]: They're five and five.
1:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they haven't played poorly and they're not great.
1:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Easy schedule.
1:33
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.
1:35
[SPEAKER_01]: They haven't taken advantage of the schedule as much as they should have.
1:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I mean, it's that in all central.
1:41
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all on.
1:42
[SPEAKER_02]: It's looking like the brewers are right there.
1:44
[SPEAKER_02]: The brewers are one seven straight.
1:46
[SPEAKER_02]: They're getting hot in the
1:48
[SPEAKER_02]: The Cardinals is it's still a four team racing.
1:51
[SPEAKER_02]: It's only seven and a half back for Paul and the NL Central.
1:54
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still a pretty mighty competitive still.
1:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes indeed.
1:58
[SPEAKER_03]: The that's one game separating the brewers and the cubs right now.
2:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, here come those brewers, huh?
2:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They're always right there.
2:06
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems they're like that zombie that can't be killed.
2:11
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the reds you just take a look at kind of what they've
2:16
[SPEAKER_02]: what they've done and it like said it's not awful, but it's, you know, you've got, losing, you take a series from Colorado, you've taken, you've won, or no, it's split, I guess.
2:27
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, like, the Marlins, it's, you want to win that series more, you don't want to split, especially chasing.
2:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Three, one, run losses.
2:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the two losses in that series are five, one, and twelve, two.
2:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
2:44
[SPEAKER_01]: but the rocket was a one-run loss.
2:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
2:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
2:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they barely striped by the Rockies.
2:50
[SPEAKER_02]: The Lost two, three, and one, four, three, and four, two, so I guess you'll take it.
2:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you take it.
2:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Not much more you can do, but take it.
2:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And then today, the Reds drafted a guy by the name of Steel.
3:06
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he's going to be good, right?
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: His name is Steel.
3:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I was seeing some people on, I've, between my people work and some of my friends are Reds fans.
3:17
[SPEAKER_02]: They, I'm just another, it seems like the Reds just like having a cluster of influencers.
3:28
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, I mean, trading for, I mean, go back all the way.
3:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So they've gone for sure.
3:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's, especially on the corner.
3:34
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
3:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't want to say that was probably their top need, but
3:39
[SPEAKER_03]: mean the baseball draft is always so won't it's like your best player available you never know what's going to be happening by the time they get to the majors Paul that's why you always go best player available right I guess so I saw that the Rockies draft that again in holiday in the first round should that name ring a bill yeah and now isn't that weird that could work
4:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I was kind of shocked a little, but I knew he was the top prospect, basically for quite a while.
4:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, I mean, Grant, as far as, you know, like you said, Greg with as far as team need goes.
4:18
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's, it's kind of a cool story, I guess, that he ends up, he's an ends up kind of wears dad.
4:25
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's a, that's a cool.
4:28
[SPEAKER_02]: You can never,
4:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he played five years there as things in Colorado.
4:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, Paul team need for the Colorado Rockies would be everything.
4:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything.
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Even catch them.
4:42
[SPEAKER_01]: They could probably upgrade them.
4:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, it's just absurd that they continue.
4:46
[SPEAKER_01]: This every team needs an all-star of thing.
4:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Just absurd.
4:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't get it at all.
4:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't the Rockies have like, I can't.
4:58
[SPEAKER_02]: hitting very well.
4:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember.
5:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
5:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they're catching up.
5:03
[SPEAKER_02]: There's, yeah, I think it's fine.
5:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep up with the Rockies.
5:07
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's not a player on that roster who should be an all star.
5:10
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the bottom line.
5:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And there are lots of years.
5:14
[SPEAKER_01]: There are players from teams who just don't need an all star.
5:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just don't understand why you're taking the place of an honor of someone who deserves it.
5:24
[SPEAKER_01]: to give to somebody just because he happens to be the best player on the worst team.
5:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Doesn't make any sense to me.
5:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an honor to be an all star.
5:34
[SPEAKER_02]: Point, point.
5:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I tend to agree with Greg.
5:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm kind of in that.
5:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been in that same boat.
5:42
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
5:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at the team is playing a home.
5:44
[SPEAKER_01]: You say the home team has to have an all star.
5:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We get it.
5:47
[SPEAKER_01]: The thought be was was always
5:49
[SPEAKER_01]: that you don't want to go into a stadium and the team doesn't have an all-star but if they're playing at home then you do it if they're not then you don't what I don't know even don't even anyway moving on to the all-stars what stood out to you Paul
6:04
[SPEAKER_03]: The big story to me was taking a rookie pitcher who's only been on the mound for five games and making Mizorowski and all star.
6:15
[SPEAKER_03]: Apparently it has peaved the Philadelphia Phillies quite a bit.
6:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure about it.
6:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not sure about other teams, but they were very adamant.
6:26
[SPEAKER_02]: This was the one time that I will defend the Phillies ever.
6:32
[SPEAKER_02]: So keep it on record.
6:34
[SPEAKER_02]: The Cody Emerson on July thirteenth, twenty twenty five defended the Philadelphia Phillies.
6:42
[SPEAKER_02]: I was saw this last year with schemes, but schemes had a little more work.
6:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't remember exactly how many innings he had pitched.
6:49
[SPEAKER_02]: I was a little on the fence about it, but I was still slightly all right with it.
6:53
[SPEAKER_02]: This one, he's five starts twenty five minutes.
6:57
[SPEAKER_02]: That's five minutes.
6:57
[SPEAKER_02]: He hasn't even gone six felonings and any of us starts has he been very ridiculous.
7:03
[SPEAKER_02]: Has he has he been great in those twenty five binnings?
7:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
7:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Still, if there was nobody else to pick, maybe, but they're plenty of other guys who deserve to be all stars.
7:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just going down the list.
7:18
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, I really think, you know, speaking of the reds, Ellie should be the, at least should be.
7:24
[SPEAKER_02]: He should be overlandour in my opinion.
7:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I understand why I, I understand while indoors the starter.
7:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.
7:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of a, you kind of a crew votes over time with the major league baseball vote.
7:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.
7:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, he's an all-time great.
7:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, in some ways.
7:41
[SPEAKER_02]: That's not what the star games about.
7:45
[SPEAKER_01]: It's what it should be.
7:46
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a long time when a lot of years that Derek Geter was not the best player at his position.
7:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I, you know, it's just kind of the way it is.
7:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And as long as they look Ellie is an all star, I think everybody should be pretty happy with that.
8:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He's an all star for the first time.
8:03
[SPEAKER_01]: That's great.
8:05
[SPEAKER_02]: We are going to get a fantastic pitching match up though.
8:08
[SPEAKER_02]: We were going to, and I think it was
8:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, a couple episodes ago when we were talking about the pirates and the tigers playing that we weren't going to get scenes as scuba.
8:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I know it's the all star game, but we're at least going to get back.
8:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go back to because I found it.
8:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Hunter Goodman has seventeen home runs in fifty two RB guys.
8:30
[SPEAKER_02]: That's an all star.
8:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I know he's with my point.
8:32
[SPEAKER_01]: My point being that so I
8:35
[SPEAKER_01]: team that is one of the worst in history.
8:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care how good is step well at.
8:39
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not quite true.
8:40
[SPEAKER_02]: That's on pace for thirty and one hundred.
8:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Fine.
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: You made compelling argument.
8:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still going to say the Rockies deserve to have nobody in the all-star game.
8:49
[SPEAKER_01]: That's done to my post.
8:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's I would agree.
8:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
8:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Most of your side, but give the kids some credit.
8:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, because I, he's only twenty five years old, too.
8:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not easy to do when you have nobody.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm not.
9:02
[SPEAKER_03]: They're also should not be five Dodgers from the on the all start team.
9:08
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, that's going to happen every year, though, because, you know, if I get it for the Dodgers who shouldn't.
9:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Pahads.
9:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Pahads.
9:17
[SPEAKER_02]: The legend, the commissioners pick which that's another thing I wanted to get it.
9:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll want to see the greatest of all time in the all star game, guys.
9:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of the greatest of all time.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Negative.
9:32
[SPEAKER_01]: You're just wrong.
9:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Has been to it both ways.
9:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Let him go in there for two or three badgers.
9:39
[SPEAKER_03]: We might as well bring Justin Verlander in for the American LinkedIn too.
9:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Some day, someday, when he's a legend, when he reaches Clayton Kershaw status, then we'll, uh, then we'll get there.
9:53
[SPEAKER_02]: The Dodgers have Will Smith, Otonning, Freddie Freeman.
10:00
[SPEAKER_01]: They're all three.
10:01
[SPEAKER_01]: No brainers.
10:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but he's right about the others that those should probably just be those three.
10:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I could see that argument first.
10:10
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
10:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Uncle Paul, it is time to talk some Toronto Blue Jays.
10:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You've been itching for weeks.
10:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I I've been telling you that that was going to be in there.
10:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Although I kept
10:27
[SPEAKER_03]: I kept saying the rays were going to be there and now I think I think it might be another team that we'll talk about.
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the rays.
10:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, since the last time we talked, we had so much praise for the rays.
10:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, there are there are a funny team.
10:41
[SPEAKER_03]: Have they once in thought for many to remain their last ten so they now have the same record as the red.
10:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I have to tell you though that the American League East has more victories than any other division in baseball.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's crazy.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the Orioles have been a little better.
10:59
[SPEAKER_01]: That's part of that, for sure.
11:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
11:01
[SPEAKER_01]: The Orioles are starting to look like the Orioles would kind of expect it.
11:06
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
11:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Every human that division is pretty good.
11:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They're definitely no Gemi is in that division.
11:12
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
11:13
[SPEAKER_02]: A little too late though for Baltimore.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, for sure.
11:18
[SPEAKER_01]: If they were in a different division, it might not be.
11:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Unless they get like scorching earth, red hot and some luck falls their way.
11:27
[SPEAKER_02]: If they were in the west, they'd have a train.
11:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's my question for you guys.
11:31
[SPEAKER_03]: The bread socks lose Raphael Devers.
11:35
[SPEAKER_03]: And everybody, all their fans are up in arms and there's all these questions about what they're going to do.
11:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And now they've won ten confidence and confidence in the front office.
11:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
11:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They did the same thing with bats.
11:49
[SPEAKER_01]: And now here they are.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: It's amazing.
11:54
[SPEAKER_02]: They're also.
11:57
[SPEAKER_02]: They're taking advantage.
12:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, okay, sweeping the race.
12:01
[SPEAKER_02]: That's pretty impressive.
12:04
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're taking advantage of a very easy schedule.
12:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
12:08
[SPEAKER_01]: You went ten games at a row.
12:09
[SPEAKER_01]: You went ten games at a row.
12:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care if they're all against the race.
12:14
[SPEAKER_01]: The Rockies in the race.
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't care.
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care if it's ten against the Rockies.
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not easy to do.
12:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Ten euro is very difficult to do in major league.
12:27
[SPEAKER_03]: It's something that you sure sure.
12:29
[SPEAKER_02]: We can wins in a row.
12:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's impressive.
12:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not surprised the Red Sox of or on this for surgeons, though.
12:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm stunned.
12:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they were done.
12:38
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see come like right out of the all starbreak.
12:41
[SPEAKER_02]: The Cubs, the fillies and the Dodgers.
12:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I'm that'll be the end of the Red Sox is my guess.
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be our perfect hope.
12:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it would.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the National League has the better all star line up.
12:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
12:58
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
12:58
[SPEAKER_03]: So you're predicting an NL victory on Tuesday.
13:02
[SPEAKER_01]: That was going to ask you.
13:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have the better roster.
13:04
[SPEAKER_01]: That doesn't necessarily mean they're going to win.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would I would favor the National League.
13:09
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in Atlanta.
13:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're going to walk off Craig.
13:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd if Matt Olson has the game.
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Matt Olson.
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Matt Olson walk off.
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's call it.
13:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh oh.
13:23
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be the highlight of the Atlanta bridge season.
13:27
[SPEAKER_02]: There's how much else going.
13:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I would all get into in quite a minute.
13:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, you will.
13:31
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have our weekly Cody Emerson rant.
13:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And you got to.
13:37
[SPEAKER_02]: You look at it overall.
13:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the nationally does have the better.
13:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm raw because you look at Freeman Marte, Lendor, Machado, PCA, Acunicile Tucker and show hey.
13:53
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the American leagues got Raleigh Vlad, Labor Torres, Jacob Wilson of the A's.
13:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Greg, now are you saying he's could not be an all-star Greg, because the A's are bad.
14:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm curious.
14:09
[SPEAKER_01]: That necessarily note, because the A's aren't all-time historically bad.
14:14
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I can get on board with that.
14:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you got J-Ram, yeah, I'm such a judge.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: and rightly green hobby bias in Rano.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: The nationally, my opinion has a way better outfield.
14:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Third base, I'm giving to J. R. M. Over Machado, short stoplindo, or I'll give over Wilson's second base, Marte, over Torres, first base, Freeman, over Guerrero, and but I'll take Colorado over Wilson's.
14:40
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I mean, if you're comparing position by position, at least for the batting order,
14:47
[SPEAKER_02]: But the question is, how are they going to fare against like, tree school?
14:51
[SPEAKER_02]: And crum-shade?
14:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm always interested to see the pitching matchups.
14:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like that.
14:58
[SPEAKER_02]: That's really pitching through.
15:01
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we've got sale won't be in there anymore.
15:05
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it'll be a good test for skins.
15:08
[SPEAKER_02]: And, but I'll gladly take the national league.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's a minute.
15:12
[SPEAKER_02]: No more.
15:13
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the old man's prediction.
15:14
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you ready?
15:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Go right ahead.
15:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, um, American League wins and the MVP is going to be a batter and it will be a non starter in the game.
15:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I got one for you.
15:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I got one for you.
15:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Byron bucks them.
15:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like a kind of guy who would do that.
15:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of bucks, and he just hit the, he just hit for the cycle yesterday on his birthday.
15:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, it's been his bubble head debt.
15:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, it's bubble head day.
15:44
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
15:47
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of my favorite players in the American League.
15:50
[SPEAKER_02]: He's one of mine, too.
15:51
[SPEAKER_02]: He's knock on wood, and he's finally staying healthy.
15:55
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been injury-plaked like the last two or three years.
16:00
[SPEAKER_02]: And now that he's finally, he's been, I've had no reason to hate the twins, but he's been one of the, he's an insane center field.
16:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's speed, power, all the kind of things you want to play.
16:14
[SPEAKER_02]: He just simply has it.
16:15
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's fun to watch.
16:18
[SPEAKER_03]: What else you got Paul?
16:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Max Monsi and Max Monsi from Oakland and the Dodgers.
16:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Have the.
16:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Have the.
16:28
[SPEAKER_03]: No, they.
16:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you kidding me?
16:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Not in the same year, but the same month and day.
16:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
16:37
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a sports bar trivia fact that I will take with me for the only for the central Indiana sports report listeners.
16:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I will be using that bar fact trivia, whatever for the rest of my life.
16:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Feel free.
16:52
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Paul.
16:55
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a shame about the brave so because the fillies and the mats just don't seem to want to run away with anything yet.
17:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It's true.
17:05
[SPEAKER_01]: There are only twelve games back.
17:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Cody, weekly rant.
17:11
[SPEAKER_02]: When I think things can't get worse, they seem to
17:14
[SPEAKER_02]: the lack of pitching is, it's bad.
17:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're relying on just relied on for like three starts, DDA Fuentes who's a twenty year old kid who has no business being in a major league.
17:32
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's not
17:34
[SPEAKER_02]: trapping on him.
17:35
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how desperate the Braves were for did start pitching.
17:40
[SPEAKER_03]: They lose that game today.
17:41
[SPEAKER_03]: The world's longest game.
17:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, with about eighteen thousand ring delays.
17:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Just won't fly up.
17:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Actually five before.
17:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
17:50
[SPEAKER_03]: That was not it is almost like we didn't want to start the all-star break.
17:53
[SPEAKER_02]: We took the series, but that doesn't mean anything anymore.
17:58
[SPEAKER_02]: They're treading water right now.
18:01
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Michael Harris.
18:03
[SPEAKER_02]: is an atrocity at the plate.
18:07
[SPEAKER_02]: He's barely batting two hundred.
18:08
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably should get sent down to one of that.
18:11
[SPEAKER_02]: The only bright spots are continue to be metals in the Puneo.
18:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm disappointed that a Puneo is not going to do the home run derby, but metals in his taking his place.
18:24
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, he'll have some reservations in the chop house.
18:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So all this great my hitting that Matt Olson's doing right now is about to go away.
18:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably that's that's how it's going to happen.
18:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably it's just it's a lost season.
18:45
[SPEAKER_03]: No, not yet.
18:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, you're not to that point yet.
18:49
[SPEAKER_03]: We may get there depending.
18:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the might have had a different answer if the end swept the Mariners.
18:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
18:57
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's not been good the last three weeks or so.
19:02
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I can see tight races in both the East, three way race probably in the American League East.
19:09
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you have the exciting National Accentrol with all sorts possibilities, including the reds.
19:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and both wild cards as well.
19:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, correct.
19:22
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just for the vote.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So tight.
19:25
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to ask you all real quick.
19:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw a report may be that the.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: Think the diamond back shop.
19:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of these guys are what do you think they're doing.
19:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they might be shopping Zach gallon.
19:39
[SPEAKER_02]: That's that's one of the names I've heard you might.
19:42
[SPEAKER_03]: He might have enough value.
19:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's all to the red.
19:46
[SPEAKER_03]: No, not.
19:48
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all martyred to the red.
19:50
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't I don't think a carol or martyred, but they're trying to they're trying to shop your old friend, uh, eugenio, uh, that's another name.
19:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't blame him.
19:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
20:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
20:01
[SPEAKER_03]: He strikes that too much, but the way too much.
20:04
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of people who liked the long ball.
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, he had a four hundred.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: If he ever hit one, there is important that would be something that's exactly right.
20:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, very, very well said.
20:14
[SPEAKER_02]: So if he had won this, he had his fourth and final on which was part of his four home run game was a what was the game winner against the brave.
20:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So don't remind me.
20:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Was it a, was it a big game?
20:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he'd never played in one for the reds that they won.
20:33
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no.
20:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Including the game Ray had about eight chances in a eighteen inning game against the Braves in a playoff game and that neither team could score.
20:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it was eighteen, but I hear your point.
20:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I was exaggerating to make a point.
20:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I often exaggerate.
20:57
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a, it's a, it's a, it's probably something that a good quality.
21:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's for a quarter.
21:04
