0:00
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the three O take where we talk
0:04
all things Major League Baseball.
0:06
Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
0:10
It all starts right now. Oh, welcome back to the three O
0:17
10% by Chinook Cedary. This episode 568 I'll be host
0:20
Kyle Corden. I'm here with my Co host Nate.
0:22
Ray is Nate. Que Paso Que Paso.
0:30
Big, big night last night, that was.
0:34
That was monumental. Really it was.
0:38
That was a first. I felt bad.
0:41
I was, I asked Paige, like what she thought when it was done.
0:46
And I was like, did you, did you like have fun?
0:49
You were, you were like a little quieter than normal.
0:52
She's like, I was, I was like, yeah, like it normally you're
0:55
just, you're just not that quiet.
0:57
And she's like, well, I was kind of nervous.
0:59
She was. Dialed, that's what she was.
1:02
I was like, wait, you were nervous?
1:04
She's like, yes, there's like you can see that there's people
1:07
on there staring at you. And I was like, yeah, that's my
1:11
bad. I kind of forgot.
1:12
Like it's the nerves. Just I get that in the first
1:15
part of it, but yeah, now it's just like, I don't know, I don't
1:18
even think about it. Yeah, we had.
1:22
If you missed it, we had. We had both wives on last night
1:25
for our what ended up being our final learning how to keep book,
1:30
learning how to score, keep live stream of the season.
1:34
Think we ended up with, well, how many we finish up with June,
1:39
July, August, September, we got 455 or so.
1:46
Yeah, that was good. That was good.
1:48
We had, like I said, we had the wives on.
1:50
They enjoyed it. I she can Paige can say she was
1:53
nervous, but I from what I could tell, she just seemed like she
1:56
was dialed in. They were both dialed in.
1:57
There was a couple Indians where once Meredith figured it out, I
2:02
was just sitting back watching the game and I'm I see you over
2:04
there, like filling in squares and.
2:07
Yeah, moving guys around the diamond, I'm like our work here
2:11
is done. Your work here, Nate, as as our
2:14
leader is done it. Was nice.
2:16
It was like the 6th inning and she's like, is that a 643 double
2:20
play? And I was like, what?
2:22
Yeah, take it, lady. Yeah.
2:27
I mean, there was questions that or not even questions, but, you
2:32
know, assumptions that Meredith was making based on what she had
2:35
learned in just a brief amount of time that I I wouldn't have
2:38
been making until like the third or fourth time I was keeping
2:42
books so quick learners smarter than you and I yeah, obviously
2:49
go ahead and acknowledge that. But yeah, that was that was.
2:51
Not much smarter for for them to sign up for life with us.
2:54
It's clearly something a little. Twisted on them.
2:58
But. That's a decision they'll have
3:00
to live with. Any who's let's talk some ball.
3:04
It is officially clinch season. We're on, we're on clinch watch.
3:08
Some teams have already have already punched their ticket,
3:11
including the Brewers and the Phillies.
3:15
But it's that I I mean, I keep saying it.
3:20
I don't know how many more times I can say it.
3:21
We are. We are.
3:25
Quickly approaching the best time of year.
3:27
And let me just say this, I have some mad respect and I've maybe
3:36
I've said this in one way shape or form before, but I have mad
3:39
respect for the people that are locked into baseball right now
3:47
in a way that makes them stand out.
3:52
Like if your team is is checked out, like if, if your team is
3:57
checked out out of the race and you're still because I was
4:02
thinking about it when I went to the Naz Pirates game this
4:04
weekend because it was brought to my attention like you went to
4:06
a Naz Pirates game in middle of September.
4:10
It's like it's a hard home move. For sure.
4:11
Well, look, these tickets were purchased by my mother for my
4:17
wife and I last Christmas, presented to us as Christmas
4:21
gifts last year. So this was already
4:23
predetermined. However, I thought about it as I
4:28
was at the game. And I'm like, I'm looking
4:30
around. I'm like the people that are
4:31
here assuming they're not just here for, you know, the
4:34
socializing and the beer, which could have been a lot.
4:37
But I know that there was people there that were there because
4:41
they're sick baseball fans. Those are my kind of people.
4:45
A little sick in the head. Those are my kind of people.
4:49
And even even more so, you want to take it up another level.
4:53
The people that choose to put off football.
4:57
I know you're not one of those people.
4:58
You, you welcome football with open arms once September hits,
5:02
you know, so I'm not going to judge you for it.
5:04
I'm, I'm simply saying, and I'm not going to judge anybody else
5:06
that does it. I'm simply saying that people
5:07
that maintain their baseball focus until November, those are
5:15
winners in my book. Especially people that are fans
5:18
of teams that have been eliminated.
5:19
Exactly. That's yeah, I mean it.
5:22
The people that stay locked in until November, you know, if
5:25
their team's in it, that's one thing.
5:27
But the people like I said, if your if your team is so far gone
5:31
and has been eliminated for weeks.
5:33
Yeah. More power to you.
5:37
I'd maybe, I'd maybe visit a doctor some sort of, you know,
5:42
some sort of, you know, get some, some mental check
5:45
insurance. But you're you're my kind of
5:49
people though, at the end of the day.
5:51
I'll say like even for myself, I'm struggling to I'm pretty
5:56
just like locked in on on the Yankees season finish more than
6:00
anything else. Like I'm catching some some some
6:04
other highlights and like couple innings of games.
6:11
It's hard for me to like just sit there and watch a whole
6:15
other game at this point in the season for me.
6:19
So props to those people that have absolutely nothing riding
6:25
like they're just, they're just there for the baseball in
6:29
general. Just baseball.
6:31
You're different. You're just a different bunch
6:35
and I can appreciate that. I I really got to wonder though,
6:40
like what it what's the driving force there for those kind of
6:42
people? If your team's out of it, like
6:45
what do you? Are you just tuning in for
6:47
nothing more than the love of the game?
6:50
Or like, are you? Just I will say no disrespect
6:53
or. Like, are you intrigued in in
6:55
these other playoff races? Like, what's the deal there?
6:57
I need to talk to somebody. Somebody needs to reach out to
7:01
me that fits that description of my team's been out of it for
7:05
weeks, if not months, and I'm still locked into the MLB scene.
7:11
I need to talk to one of those people to like, let me pick your
7:14
brain. Here's the thing, if you look at
7:15
the current standings, I would say the only true, like you
7:25
never see him down here lately kind of finishes the Braves.
7:29
I feel like for the most part, everyone else that's starting to
7:33
trickle off, they got the little E next to their blow go in the
7:37
standings. Look, no disrespect.
7:39
I think these fan bases are kind of used to what the middle and
7:45
end of September looks like for them.
7:49
So I think that it's you can't just sit there and say like, I'm
7:54
only here until my seat my my team is eliminated because
7:59
they're kind of used to this. They, I think they've spent a
8:03
chunk of their lives having to look forward to the postseason
8:08
without their team being in it. No disrespect.
8:12
Do the Orioles that fit that description?
8:14
You mentioned the Braves. Can't quite put them in this
8:19
like, oh, I'm super shocked and surprised.
8:21
I mean, this year, yes, but the brave, I mean for like the last
8:25
decade. Oh, you're going.
8:26
OK, I see. You're going like years back.
8:28
OK, that's fair. That's fair.
8:29
I mean, I get like, I don't, I think people that are Minnesota
8:33
Twins fans are already kind of sick in the head, so I don't
8:36
know if I can maybe include them.
8:38
They always sneak into the wild card, it seems.
8:40
But I'll say that everyone else is like, yeah, this is par for
8:44
the course, you know, which is just too Dang bad.
8:51
Love those teams, by the way. If you're not familiar, you
8:53
haven't been looking at the standings.
8:54
And maybe you are slightly checked out.
8:55
Maybe you're just here to hang out with us and listen to our
8:58
dumb voices, which is awesome. Much appreciated there.
9:03
Honestly to that you, you might be honest, something there.
9:06
Maybe there's people that are checked out, but they're like
9:08
all all tuned in to see what Nate and Kyle are talking about.
9:12
Just to get my baseball fixed. But I'm not turning on.
9:16
I'm not turning on MLBTV night in and night out.
9:19
Yeah, very true. Well, we're going to get into
9:22
the clinchers, but we can talk about the eliminated next to
9:27
their name, the Rockies, the Nationals, the White Sox and the
9:32
Twins. At this moment, day and time,
9:37
those are the teams that have been eliminated.
9:39
RIP. Good luck.
9:41
We'll see you next year. Kinda.
9:48
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
9:54
That is correct. Tough look.
10:01
Let's talk. I don't want to spend any time
10:04
talking about those teams. Let's talk.
10:07
Let's talk about a team that I kid you not.
10:11
I had the thought today of like, my goodness, am I am I inching
10:17
closer to jumping on the bandwagon just based on the more
10:23
like the more and more that I see come out of their camp.
10:26
I'm like, I just have not been able to get on board for how the
10:31
last however many years, but there's something of.
10:34
I know you're going. I don't know what it is about
10:36
this team. Yeah, this year, specifically
10:39
this year, the Milwaukee Brewers, the first team in
10:44
baseball to punch their ticket to the postseason, seventh time
10:50
in the last eight years that they'll be heading to the dance.
10:55
They did it in rather dramatic fashion.
10:57
I was actually, I was actually sort of checked into that game
11:02
on Saturday when they came back to beat the Cards.
11:05
I think they think they I think they were down like 5.
11:10
And it was one of those situations where it's like, OK,
11:11
they're they're about ready to punch their ticket, but are they
11:15
going to, Is this going to be one of those like back your way?
11:18
And there's nothing more I hate, by the way, at this time of year
11:23
then when a team backs their way in.
11:26
Like like you lost but because the team below.
11:29
I hate it, I hate it and I would love, I would love to see the
11:34
the data, the numbers run on that.
11:36
How many teams? There's got to be a way to
11:39
figure this out. I I mean, I can't imagine it
11:41
being too difficult. How many teams over the last, I
11:45
don't know, maybe we go back to maybe we just look at like the
11:50
wild card era or even, you know, from when they expanded the
11:53
postseason, how many teams went on to win the World Series that
11:58
received that kiss of death to get into the dance by losing and
12:04
getting their ticket. That's such a.
12:07
That's why I hated that double header last year between the
12:10
Mets and the Braves. That was the that's why I was
12:14
out on both teams in a way where I was just like, OK, like
12:18
instead of wanting to eliminate the other person and like make
12:21
sure they don't get in, we'll just, we'll just split this.
12:24
We'll take one, you take 1 instead of throwing my ace and
12:28
ending your season. Nah, my ticket's punched.
12:33
I'm not worried about your ticket.
12:34
It's just weird. I don't know, I get it.
12:37
It is a marathon it. And it's like hard to like sit
12:40
there and just define A-Team based on just one or a few
12:45
games. But these I there's a level to
12:51
these, there's a level to these games.
12:55
There's a level to this time of year that like, I'm just so over
12:59
and done with teams or players answering questions and acting
13:03
like, oh, like it's just another game.
13:05
No, it's not like you. We know these games mean a
13:08
little bit more. We know that you can see it.
13:11
It means enough to us. And it's like these players are
13:15
human. They're obviously scrolling
13:17
through social media because what person isn't?
13:22
I understand there's people that maybe delete like LeBron, that
13:25
famously every year's like going off of social media for this
13:28
playoff run. Don't get me started on LeBron,
13:30
but. Tell me about your thoughts on.
13:33
LeBron, you can't sit there and say that baseball players are
13:36
like, I'm going without social media for six months.
13:38
No, you're not. You're you're not.
13:40
I'm sorry. No, you're not.
13:42
So these games mean more. They see that it means more.
13:46
I like how you can see it come out in the way they're playing,
13:51
in their emotion and how they're going about their business
13:54
during this time of year. That's what makes that's what
13:57
makes this game great. That's what makes it
13:59
entertaining. That's what makes this time of
14:00
year incredible. So I think there's something to
14:03
be said of what you're saying I got.
14:05
I think there's there's a little something there.
14:07
The Birds did it with a little. Yeah, yeah.
14:12
You know, yeah. Do you agree though, with what
14:16
I'm saying about? I mean, I'm not, I'm not
14:18
suggesting that either of us jump on the bandwagon because
14:21
I'm not much of A bandwagon guy. I have, I'm very, I don't just I
14:26
don't just solicit my bandwagon services that easily.
14:30
Like I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the town, the town hussy.
14:36
You know, I'm, I'm keeping it classy.
14:41
I'm, I'm not just going to say like, I'm not just going to fall
14:45
in love with the warm and fuzzy storyline.
14:47
Why? You because I haven't heard
14:49
someone say hussy and. So I was racking my brain.
14:53
I was like, how can I put this? How can I put this politely?
14:57
Yeah, you know, I'm just at the town hussy and I'm not just
15:00
going to be like, oh, this is a cute story.
15:01
Let me hop on board. I mean, sure, I'll I'll maybe be
15:05
drawn to a particular storyline in a given post season, but I'm
15:09
not just going to go full blown like Phillies honorary Phillies
15:13
fan that I've been for the last however many years.
15:15
Sure, but taking it a step, maybe dropping it, dropping it
15:20
down a level, maybe not to that extent.
15:22
Do you agree, though, with what I'm saying about the brew?
15:24
Like, and we talked about, I think it was last week, there's
15:27
something about this Brewers team where I'm like, there's
15:30
something, there's something about this team that I don't
15:34
feel like we've seen in some time. 100% agree.
15:40
Does in the Bob Euchre letter was the cherry on top.
15:45
I'm glad you brought that up. I can we can we get to the
15:51
bottom of this? Because I saw some conflicting
15:55
things. That saying that's not real.
15:57
About the letter, I'm not saying this, I'm simply saying what I
16:01
because I, you know, I was, I wanted to learn more about it,
16:03
like, OK, maybe get some, some background, some details on, on
16:08
maybe do like, do we know when this was written or when this
16:12
was handed over to the person that was going to eventually be
16:15
the middle man to pass this to Pat Murphy?
16:19
And the more I was digging around, I saw which, you know,
16:23
Twitter is not the, the ideal place to look for this kind of
16:26
information, But I see people be that were on there being like,
16:30
you know, like very clearly fake.
16:33
I wish the Brewers would have, you know, acknowledged that.
16:36
And then I saw people saying, well, the Brewers did
16:40
acknowledge it. And then people are like, well,
16:42
where did they acknowledge that it wasn't completely real?
16:46
I don't, I'm not trying to take away from the moment.
16:48
It was very cool regardless. But I just, I didn't want to,
16:54
you know, I just didn't want to fall quite in love with that
16:59
story until we figured out like, OK.
17:01
Did Did, did he actually write this letter or Because there was
17:05
another thing where I said that I saw that Pat Murphy just
17:08
wanted to use that as a way to involve him in the celebration.
17:12
I mean. I'm clipping it to Google AI.
17:16
It's not real. Pat Murphy wrote it in Euchre's
17:22
and like, read it and wrote it with like his voice.
17:24
In mind yeah that and whether Google AI is is accurate who
17:29
really knows so that's. That's also another Yeah, dive
17:33
deeper into AI mode. Let's do it.
17:35
Let me click that That's. All in all, not I did.
17:43
I did not. I cannot stress enough, I did
17:45
not bring this up to, you know, to take away from that moment
17:48
because it was a very cool moment.
17:50
Oh, here we go. I have confirmation.
17:54
What do you got? I delve deeper.
17:56
AI delivered. While the letter was attributed
17:59
to Euchre, the Brewers have clarified that it was actually
18:01
written by Murphy as a way for the team to remember, honor, and
18:05
include Euchre in the celebration.
18:06
The letter itself expressed Euchre's pride in the team and
18:09
their performance, noting their hard work, fearlessness, and
18:12
best record in baseball, according to CBS58I.
18:18
Click on the link for CBS 58 dot com and this appears to be taken
18:29
to an actual article and this is CBS in Milwaukee.
18:36
So there you go, there you go, moving on.
18:43
Got to the bottom of it. All right, well, still a cool
18:46
thing. That's zillion.
18:49
I mean, I was always ready to bet the house if if Bob Euchre
18:53
had left, if he there, if there was a letter read beyond the
18:56
grave and it was Bob Euchre. About the six like I'm in, I'm
19:02
fully in on this team. What do you want from me?
19:04
Like what You had me at Hello, you know.
19:07
Exactly. So but now that I'm I'm a little
19:11
OK, hey. Look, I didn't mean to shatter
19:13
the glass. I just I, I.
19:16
Just wanted you are man. That's what you're out here
19:18
doing. OK.
19:19
Well, I just wanted to, you know, make sure that we weren't,
19:23
you know, falling in love with the wrong storylines.
19:25
You know, I want us to fall in love with a team for the right
19:28
reasons. I did have that thought though,
19:30
because there is like this weird like like sometimes the with
19:37
those stupid Joe Rogan videos that it's like that shows the
19:40
first half second of the video of his face and then it doesn't
19:44
and then you're like listening to it and you're like, oh, this
19:45
is very clearly AI. Yeah yeah, like that's what I
19:49
was worried about. I did have that thought because
19:51
you didn't see the full on video.
19:53
It just showed like Brewers clips.
19:57
So glass shattered. But all I have to say real good
20:02
ball club and I love Pat Murphy so I.
20:11
I have these thoughts and I have to get them out there, but I'm
20:14
I'm now seeing a trend that they're going against the
20:17
positivity that I was really trying to build this team up
20:20
with initially. But you just say it.
20:23
I saw it. I saw a comment today that said
20:27
Pat Murphy can never leave. And I'm like, man, are Brewers
20:32
fans becoming victims of the moment?
20:35
Because how many times we, I feel like we just had this
20:38
conversation. I, I don't even remember who was
20:39
maybe a snicker, maybe where it's like, how many times have
20:42
we seen a guy take a team, go on a run, win it all, and fans are
20:50
like, this is our guy, give him the keys to the city.
20:55
And then, you know, the team starts two and seven the next
21:00
season and they're just like, this guy doesn't know ball, get
21:05
him out of town like. That turn on snicker needs to be
21:09
well studied. Oh my goodness, dude.
21:12
Which I, we didn't even talk about it, but I, I saw the
21:14
report that he's likely considering stepping down at the
21:18
end of this year. Yeah, yeah, I like that.
21:23
But I also saw that he was maybe not wanting to end it on a year
21:27
like this. But yeah, I don't know if you
21:28
really have a choice. After a year like this, yeah,
21:31
it's this. Yeah, we're we're creeping into
21:33
the mutually agree to part ways statement.
21:41
Yeah, we are. We are quickly, quickly headed
21:46
there. But yeah, I'm with you, Pat
21:51
Murphy seems like a great guy, Seems like a player's manager.
21:54
Seems like a guy that is more than capable of leading a very
21:59
talented Brewers team deep in October.
22:02
Honestly, his work may not require much of him because I
22:09
think this Brewers team as currently constructed and as
22:11
we've talked about for the last. A little sprinkle of destiny in
22:15
there. I mean, I don't even know if
22:18
it's. Well, yeah, yeah.
22:20
I mean, if, if we're looking at it through the lens of, you
22:24
know, the way I like to look at it, like if, if you've got a
22:26
thing or two to rally around and they have a thing or two to
22:29
rally around, then yeah. I, I mean, I don't care how good
22:32
you are, whether you're an underdog or not, it, if you've
22:36
got something to rally around and, and there's a greater, I
22:38
don't want to say a greater purpose, but you know,
22:41
something, something bigger to play for it.
22:45
Probably means it's sprinkly destiny.
22:49
Yeah, it's it's because Devin Williams isn't there to give up
22:52
a tank in the top of the ninth, so he'll do that for me.
23:02
Yeah, no, let's go Brewers though, you know, let's.
23:06
Go brew, crew. More important, more
23:09
importantly, let's go Phillies. Phillies, the most recent team
23:12
to clinch as of this as of this moment, one of the teams that
23:20
punched their ticket after. Losing, yeah, it's got to be
23:29
like a weird celebration moment. It's got to subdue the
23:34
celebrating. Yeah, and I mean, if I'm a man
23:38
of integrity, if I'm, you know, if I, if I'm to be consistent
23:42
with my takes, I don't, I don't know that I like the Phillies
23:46
odds now. I kind of got to you with my
23:50
with my comments last week, didn't I?
23:53
Playing a month of meaningless baseball?
23:57
I don't know man. Yeah.
23:59
And the concern that I've I've had that I've tried to keep, I
24:04
don't want to say secret, but just at Bay, I don't know how
24:08
much longer I can do it. The the take that is growing in
24:12
its amount of concern for me is the fact that I just don't feel
24:17
like I'm seeing a fiery Bryce Harper this year, and that
24:21
really, that really concerns me. That's a big statement coming
24:25
from you. It's a huge statement.
24:28
I, I mean, I try to watch as much of Bryce Harper as I can,
24:34
as many ABS as I can catch, you know, if he makes headlines for
24:39
this reason or that, if he gets into it with an umpire, if he,
24:42
you know, the, whatever it is, whatever it is, I try to, I try
24:47
to lock in for that. And I all things rice, all
24:50
things sweet young Prince, young, young, sweet, sweet young
24:58
Prince. What is it?
25:00
Sweet young. Prince, Sweet young Prince.
25:01
Yeah, all things sweet young Prince.
25:03
I I just sweet and sweet and sour Prince.
25:09
Sweet young Prince. I just don't know if I've seen
25:12
it from him. Kung Pao Prince.
25:15
Orange chicken Prince, Beef and broccoli Prince.
25:22
Beef and Brice and Broccoli Prince No.
25:26
General Tao. That's mine.
25:27
That's not how you say it. General so.
25:32
General T so you know what I'm talking.
25:36
About. That's the one.
25:39
I don't. I actually had that on Friday.
25:43
And what did you say when you ordered it?
25:46
I well, Meredith ordered it. That was her order.
25:48
I got orange Chicken, which I'm learning is kind of the same
25:53
thing. Not far off, not far off,
25:55
General. So like a little kick added to
25:58
it. It's about the same.
25:59
I said General So's by the way. I'd like to hear.
26:03
Yeah, I'd like to know that actually.
26:06
Should I ask AI again or? No, Nope, we're not doing that.
26:10
See how we ordered ordered. Take out, love me good Chinese
26:14
take out man. That gets you through all the
26:18
next day, you know. No, it sure didn't.
26:21
No, we really we. Hammered it.
26:25
That's a big, that's a big dog step.
26:27
Hammered it. We went in on Whataburger last
26:30
night after the after the stream went in.
26:36
You got Whataburger. You didn't go.
26:38
You said you were going Jersey Mike's giant sub.
26:41
No, I needed a drive through moment.
26:42
I was wearing, I was wearing sleep shorts without any boxers
26:46
underneath. And I was like, I'm.
26:47
Walking in, we don't need to know.
26:49
People don't need to know this. Yeah, but that's, that's the
26:51
move, that's the comfort. That's the Sunday night comfort
26:54
move. I'm wearing boxers for at least
26:58
12 to 15 hours leading up to my work day.
27:01
We got to we got to be better as a society about being a OK with
27:06
being a little less comfortable in public, the amount of pyjamas
27:10
and. I agree, that wasn't going to be
27:12
that. Shorts and flip flop like we, we
27:15
got to have a bare minimum, you know, just a bare minimum.
27:18
I don't want, I don't think flip flops deserve to be in that
27:21
camp. No, but you know, flop guy.
27:25
Here's the thing though, and this is a very real thing.
27:28
If you're out in public and something goes down, you don't
27:34
want to be the guy trying to get get out of dodge and flip flops.
27:40
I've had to be my first weapon. I've had to be.
27:42
More conscious of that and whip it at somebody.
27:46
Don't even know what that is. So uncultured.
27:53
I guess so A chonkla. Yeah, man, Chonklas, that's not
28:02
a real thing. What are what are we looking at
28:03
here? Chonkla is.
28:04
That it's in the Hispanic community.
28:07
Is that exactly how you spell it, CHANCLA?
28:15
It's in the Hispanic community. Oh, I thought this was like a.
28:20
Like a brand. Yeah.
28:21
Like what's that? What's that other sandal brand
28:24
that I'm thinking of that's really popular?
28:27
Crocs. No.
28:28
How did we get here? I have reefs.
28:37
Chacos. That's what I was thinking of.
28:38
Have you heard of Chacos? Yeah.
28:40
No, it's have you seen the little kid?
28:42
Like the little You remember the Vine days back in the day.
28:45
Yeah, there's like a little, a little like chubby Mexican kid
28:48
and like his sister's like teasing him or something.
28:52
And like takes away his, his flip flops.
28:56
He goes not my chocolas. That's yeah, chocolate.
29:04
Not my chocolates. I'll have to look that up.
29:07
That's. There's like the, you know, like
29:08
the whole, like, what are those like that, those types of
29:11
videos? I think it was one of those He's
29:13
like my chocolates. What an era.
29:16
Yeah. Oh, here you go.
29:18
OK, sorry, going back getting it on on topic.
29:25
Actually, no, this was the tweet that I saw that made me question
29:28
to begin with. But for those for those
29:30
wondering about the Pat or the Bob Bucher thing, sorry, not the
29:33
backtrack. Kurt Hogg.
29:35
The Brewers clarified that this wasn't an actual letter from
29:38
you. Pat Murphy wrote it as a way to
29:40
include Bob Bucher in the clinch celebration.
29:41
The team said. Not from the Brewers, but my
29:44
understanding is they quote Rd. record comments, etcetera were
29:47
included to make that evident. I don't know, not important.
29:53
Back to the chocolates. Back to the chocolates.
29:59
How did we where? What were we even talking about?
30:04
Give me the road map. My my choice of not wearing
30:08
boxers under my shorts, not wanting to go into Jersey
30:11
Whataburger. Whataburger because of the drive
30:14
through, the amount of food I had at Whataburger, the amount
30:17
of food you had when you ordered Chinese.
30:19
Hey, Guy, General. So broccoli, beef and broccoli,
30:26
Bryce, sweet young Prince. Have not seen a fired up Bryce.
30:30
That's it. Well done.
30:31
Well done. Thank you.
30:33
Holy cow, what a road map. But yeah, that's that's one of
30:37
the biggest concerns for me combined with the fact that like
30:40
you said, all All in all really playing a month's worth of give
30:46
or take of rather meaningless. Ball do are they going to just
30:53
trip and fall on their feet? No, I like or fall on their
30:55
face. I should say falling on your
30:57
feet would be crazy, but. Maybe if you had chocolates.
31:01
Chocolates, if you yeah, dude, like I'm not saying they're
31:04
going to just like implode or like go nowhere.
31:07
I think they're deep enough as a roster to like do damage, but I
31:14
don't know, it just doesn't. It's not feeling the way it
31:17
should feel there. Sure.
31:23
I mean, I'm not like you said that I don't think they're I
31:26
don't think they're going to fall on their feet.
31:28
I think I think they're they're going to be OK.
31:33
I'm not worried about the Phillies.
31:35
That's just a concern of mine. Sort of.
31:38
I don't want to say independent of, you know, their post season
31:44
chances, but it's not it's I don't think it's going to be an
31:51
ultimate or determining fact. I I will give you your flowers,
31:55
I will give you your credit, is that you have done a very solid
31:59
job over these last chunk of years identifying destiny in
32:07
postseason teams. You have a weird destiny radar,
32:13
and I think we should, I think we should all trust this radar,
32:16
not being loud and proud about the crew in Philly.
32:22
I like the Phillies. I think, like I said, I think
32:25
they're going to first of all, yes, thank you.
32:26
I that means a lot. But yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm not,
32:30
I'm like I said, I'm not worried about them, but I would, I would
32:34
feel so much better about them if we weren't seeing a, you
32:44
know, a Bryce. It's kind of just happened to be
32:47
here. You know, I'm just, I haven't
32:48
seen that that edge honestly in in a in a very similar way, not
32:55
even the same sport, but there was a very clear fall off for
32:59
Conor McGregor guy who was very fiery.
33:02
Needs to be studied as well. Is going to is going to let you
33:06
hear it. Not that Bryce was always
33:08
yapping, but you know, he he had a little bit more edge to him.
33:12
But you know, there was a point where I think, I think the
33:15
success caught up with Conor and it's like, you know, he's not
33:18
he's not, he didn't have that underdog chip on his shoulder
33:21
that I feel like he always had. And I kind of almost feel the
33:25
same way with Bryce. And I don't, I don't know that
33:27
it's for the same reasons, but maybe it's just coming with age.
33:31
Been in the league longer now he's got a family he's got to
33:34
worry about. I don't know.
33:36
I just don't. I don't know what it is.
33:40
Little little side little side sidebar here.
33:46
I don't remember. I think I think Paige was going
33:49
to like some like work like Co worker brunch thing last
33:54
weekend. And I I watched that new
33:57
Roadhouse movie with Conor McGregor in it.
34:04
Got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
34:06
It's like, like I finish it. And I was like, I can't believe
34:11
I mustered the strength to finish this whole thing.
34:13
Can't imagine Conor McGregor being a great actor.
34:16
Horrendous. I didn't know that was where the
34:19
where he like walks in. He's like, hey, where is
34:23
everybody? Like that's from that movie.
34:25
Have you seen him in those videos?
34:29
I sound like I'm 100 when I say that you haven't seen him like
34:32
green screened over or something.
34:35
He's like, hey, where the is everybody?
34:38
It's from this stupid movie. Ah, OK.
34:41
Anyway, Jake Gyllenhaal is the main character and I think he
34:43
says like 37 words the whole movie.
34:46
It's just the most ridiculous, ridiculous movie.
34:53
So we've talked about, Whataburger wrote.
34:56
Has a societal need to step up our collective communal.
35:02
Attire. I've introduced you to the term
35:05
Chonkla's. Chonkla's Roadhouse and Take
35:12
Out. Still plenty of time left on the
35:15
clock. Still plenty as I'm left.
35:17
This is great. But yes, all things considered,
35:23
Brewers have clinched, Phillies have clinched another team that
35:29
could be well on their way. And this is going to be, this is
35:32
going to be painful for you to hear.
35:36
The Mariners have won nine games in a row and now sits atop alone
35:46
atop the American League West. Little choking going on by the
35:51
Strohs or what? How can you say that they're
35:54
choking if they've won nine? If the Mariners have won nine
35:58
games in a row, how is that on the Astros?
36:00
I mean, I don't know, it's just this was a fairly decent sized
36:04
lead a a month ago, wasn't it? I don't.
36:08
I don't think it. Was I thought it was OK I.
36:11
Thought I mean it was OK, but it was a manageable. 5-6 game lead.
36:15
That's all. I good.
36:19
Good for the M's, man, good for the M's.
36:22
I mean, that's let's look at what about the Mariners?
36:24
I've said it before that like I that's a team that's, you know,
36:29
it's a little tricky if they get in that rotation can kind of be
36:33
a little scary to face. Looking at their last thirty
36:37
games, the Astros are 14 and 16. So, you know, like they're not,
36:41
it's not a it's not a collapse. The Mariners have just heated
36:46
up. They went seven and O on their
36:50
home stand. As I mentioned, nine in a row.
36:55
Where they got left Mariners. The three-game set against the
36:58
Astros this weekend has got to be.
37:01
Well, even before that, the Astros, you're talking about the
37:04
Mariners, right, going up against the Astros.
37:06
The Astros, even before that, I think starting tonight, have a
37:10
three-game set against the Rangers, who I'm not mistaken.
37:15
Are also kind of there. Are also in the mix, so a lot of
37:20
play here. Rangers only three games back.
37:23
And only two back of the wild card.
37:27
Right interest, Sante. That is, yeah, starts tonight,
37:32
three games set with the Astros, Rangers and.
37:36
Astros. Astros have left, let's say.
37:38
Wow. Man, what?
37:41
Who they? End Oh, The last six games for
37:43
the Astros are the A's and the Angels.
37:46
Dude, they it's only a it's AL West.
37:49
The rest of the way it's Astros or no, excuse me, this is the
37:53
Astros. It's Rangers, Mariners, A's,
37:57
Angels. Different.
38:00
That's crazy. It's almost like they knew, hey,
38:05
this is going to be entertaining down the stretch.
38:07
Let's let's give everybody a shot.
38:10
You know, you never know, angels might fight their way back in it
38:14
towards the end of the year. I think that I think I saw the
38:27
officially eliminated graphic today.
38:32
I think farts will never not be funny, yeah.
38:36
I need to. That's on me though.
38:37
I need to. I need to bump up the variety.
38:41
Get a couple different farts. Yeah, yeah.
38:43
No, that's on me. That's on me.
38:45
Yeah. Speaking of which, Speaking of
38:47
which, angels I saw now hold the longest.
38:54
Post season lists, yeah. Longest active streak in Major
38:58
League Baseball 11 years. Miserable.
39:05
Not that we have to go down this this rabbit trail rabbit hole,
39:10
whichever I can never remember. Fall on your feet already.
39:15
I don't want to spend extended time talking about Mike Trout
39:18
since we're on the subject, but we are on the subject, so I'm
39:21
just going to bring it up. Where are we?
39:24
At just make him a player manager.
39:26
No. Where are we at Hindsight now,
39:32
looking back at his decision to essentially sign off the rest of
39:37
his career to play here? Is there any way he could have
39:44
seen this coming? Was he naive?
39:48
Did he just not care about the postseason element?
39:56
Because it's not hard to. Say, I think it's hard to say
39:58
based on, I know, just motivation, just because it's
40:01
like some players, there's aspects to it where I love
40:08
loyalty. I love a guy that sticks around
40:12
for the long haul, right? But I think there's like that's
40:21
I, I, I got to assume that's just his motivation.
40:24
Like we've always talked about him being like kind of this
40:28
Blase wonder bread type, like he's never, you know, too high,
40:31
too low. He's you know, it's just is what
40:33
it is. Like love him or hate him,
40:36
that's just who he is, right? And it makes you wonders, like,
40:39
what is your overall motivation? Is it to come in and be the guy
40:44
for a franchise and just, you know, handcuff yourself to them
40:47
no matter what, however they go is how I go.
40:51
Is there any level of selfishness in there?
40:54
And there has to be an ounce of selfishness in there to say I'd
40:59
like to leave a legacy of winning and shame on the angels
41:03
for wasting his career because that's what it is going to be.
41:07
As good as he is. I think the injuries really hurt
41:11
him. The career numbers are not going
41:15
to be where they should be, where we all thought they'd be.
41:19
And I'd at this point, like, I don't think he's even going to
41:22
be in that Ken Griffey junior conversation, which sucks.
41:32
Sure. So yeah, I think there's regret
41:35
there. To answer your question, I think
41:36
there should do your You're crazy if you don't regret that
41:40
decision. Yeah, I, I mean, I just can't
41:47
imagine you putting pen to paper like if you could, if you could
41:53
look into the future and be like there.
41:56
I mean, there's a, there's a chance that we don't make the
41:59
postseason. We go on like an 11 year
42:01
drought. But I'm OK with that.
42:06
I just don't know, like if that, if that's an element that plays
42:10
for Mike Trout, Like I just don't know how much, you know,
42:12
how much attention is given to something like that, if at all.
42:16
He's not that kind of guy to walk into the GM's office and be
42:18
like, I, I need to go, I need out.
42:21
You know, he's not going to hop ship.
42:23
You know, she's not who he is. From what it seems like anyway.
42:26
Especially especially if he's wearing Shonklos.
42:30
You can call all the shots and shonklos.
42:33
No, I'm just saying you can't. You can't.
42:35
It'd be tough to probably jump ship and chunk clothes.
42:40
Flotation device. I'm giving you so many tips.
42:44
A weapon when things are getting crazy.
42:46
What are you talking? About how are you using that as
42:49
a flotation device? They float.
42:54
I'm going to go ahead and say they're probably not keeping a a
42:57
215 LB man. Afloat.
43:00
I think if you know how to, you know how to, have you seen that
43:03
trick where you lay on your your back and you just breathe in and
43:06
fill your lungs? Yeah.
43:08
But that's not, that's not, I'm not crediting the Chonkla for
43:11
that. Armrests at the very least while
43:14
you're on your back. I mean, maybe if you're the
43:17
Jolly Green Giant, you don't. Even know what choncas are.
43:20
If you're using his choncas, but I don't know how you're using
43:23
mirror flip flops, says armrests.
43:25
Any who let carry carrying on, let me just ask you before we
43:34
wrap up our Mariners talk here. It was a big, it was a good, it
43:38
was a good deep dive into the Mariners.
43:41
Yeah, Yeah. We talked, you know, got got
43:43
time to talk Mariners. So we talked Mike Trout and and
43:47
floaties really do you think, do you think they've got what it
43:53
takes to to take this the rest of the way as it as it pertains?
43:58
Oh no. As it pertains to the American
44:02
League West. Look, 'cause we looked at, I'm
44:10
the first to say, like, I'm not sitting here tuning into a ton
44:13
of Mariners games. No, but I'm just saying
44:16
comparatively 'cause we we just looked at the Astros schedule.
44:19
So and with the Mariners, you've got three against the Royals
44:24
starting tomorrow, and then the Astros as we mentioned, and then
44:29
you've got three against the Rockies and you finish out with
44:33
a three-game set at home against the Dodgers.
44:41
Yeah, I mean. No, I'm no still.
44:45
I'm still going Stros. I think they're going to,
44:47
really, yeah. Well, think about it.
44:50
You went on a nine game-winning streak.
44:53
You still have a one game lead. And you have a game on the
44:57
Astros. Yeah.
44:59
What's? Their versus each.
45:04
Other When the losses eventually hit, things are gonna.
45:07
Well, I got to account for this because like the way I look at
45:10
the way I look at the Yankees in the in the Blue Jays is like
45:13
it's a four-game lead. But because the Blue Jays have
45:15
the tiebreaker, it's really A5 game lead.
45:18
So what's the Mariners and Astros versus each other this
45:22
year? Let's see, Seattle Mariners are
45:30
five and five against the Astros this season.
45:32
Of course they are. So this three-game set is going
45:35
to mean a lot. A lot, duh.
45:38
But that's also even more sure. That's an extra thing.
45:45
Added layer to the mix. I don't know man, it's hard to
45:51
say. Like there, there's always a
45:52
good time to heat up. Are you saying that the nine
45:55
game win streak came a little too soon?
45:57
Like what is what's your or you just going off of off of vibes
46:01
only Like what? It's it's not about the timing
46:05
As for me, Well, I mean, I guess by default, yeah, it because we
46:09
only have what, two, 2 1/2 weeks left.
46:12
I just think you, you and they're still like the the win
46:17
streak hasn't ended, like they're still on this streak.
46:20
But what I'm saying is that unless you ride this thing out
46:24
and when you're last what, what did we say?
46:26
Is that just 12 games? Like I mean, which I don't think
46:35
is going to happen then. Just a cool little freaking 21
46:42
game win streak to end the. Season and the season, you know,
46:45
casual, I'm a big believe, as I've said before, big believer
46:50
in law of averages. So I think when these losses
46:52
inevitably hit, but the last two weeks left in the season, the
46:57
strokes are going to rise back to the top.
46:59
It's it's not that hard to do. I'll go through the Mariners,
47:04
then let's say they take. You want to project out.
47:07
You just want to be a little little.
47:08
Guesstimation here, so let's say I'll give them two out of three
47:12
against the Royals. Are you going with the Mariners?
47:15
I don't know yet. No, no, that's the whole point
47:17
of the. Schedule, schedule.
47:18
I mean, are you looking at the Mariners schedule?
47:21
Yes, I I got what you're saying all right.
47:23
I've got a Houston schedule pulled up.
47:24
OK, now I'm going to say Mariners take two out of three
47:27
against the Royals. Is that cool?
47:30
Against the Royals, yeah. Royals.
47:31
Sorry, Mariners against the Royals.
47:33
Two out of three. Astros.
47:38
Let's just give the Astros the benefit of the doubt here and
47:40
say they only take Mariners, only take one out of the three.
47:47
They lose that series, OK. Which would also give the Astros
47:51
the tiebreaker. They'd be 3 and 3.
47:57
I'm going to go sweep against the Rockies, Bear.
48:00
They'd be 6 and three, six and three.
48:03
The Dodgers. Based on how the Dodgers been
48:07
going lately, I don't think 2 out of the three is crazy.
48:11
So if they did 2 out of 3, they'd be, what, 8:00 and 4:00
48:15
during that stretch? If they only won one out of
48:18
three, it'd be 7:00 and 5:00 in that stretch.
48:24
OK, you go. So what are you?
48:26
What are you sticking with? You going?
48:27
You, are you going to? I don't know.
48:29
You do your part. No, no, commit.
48:31
Commit to 7:00 and 5:00 or 8:00 and 4:00.
48:33
Before I do this, what do you realistically think the Mariners
48:39
will do? I'll go 8:00 and 4:00 because I
48:41
think they'll take two out of the three.
48:43
It's in Houston though, Dang. Final answer.
48:49
I got to see the pitching line up man.
48:51
Like how? Are no stop.
48:55
Well, yeah, I guess that is soon enough where you can probably
48:58
see those. Oh my, Friday we got Brian Wu
49:01
going against Hunter Brown. Boys, if you don't have anything
49:04
going Friday night, that's got to be the commitment.
49:07
George Kirby versus Framber Valdez Saturday.
49:11
My goodness. So this tells us nothing.
49:14
Logan Gilbert going Sunday. This is a great, great versus
49:18
Jason Alexander. Look no disrespect.
49:20
Hey, Jason, Alexander's been throwing it well over the last I
49:23
think couple months. Give me Ms. I'm going Ms. and
49:28
I'm going 8:00 and 4:00 because that means they can go.
49:31
I don't think they go 1:00 and 3:00 or 1:00 and 2:00 versus
49:36
both the Astros and the Dodgers. I think they take one of those
49:39
series. So I'm going to go 8 and 4
49:41
Mariners. And you're giving them the the
49:45
series win versus the Astros, is what you're saying?
49:47
I haven't even seen who the Astros are playing yet, so you
49:49
go. You're not listening to me in
49:52
their specific matchup, you are getting.
49:55
I don't know. I don't know.
50:01
No, I'm not fine. Fine.
50:03
I'll just commit. I'll just, I'll just say the
50:06
Mariners are going to win the series in the division.
50:08
Are you happy now? So 8 and 4, two and one against
50:13
the Astros. Yes.
50:14
All right, now let's let's look at the Astros three-game set
50:19
versus the Rangers at home. I'm going to say I'll go two and
50:27
one. I'll allow that.
50:30
Astros it'll be it'll be a good series, but I'm going to go 2
50:33
and two and one for the Astros. Mariners, Astros.
50:47
Who'd you say was that final match up Jason Alexander for for
50:51
Houston and was that Logan Gilbert?
50:53
Logan Logan Gilbert Fine. I'll also give the Mariners that
51:00
series good. So that would be 2:00 and 1:00
51:04
and then 1:00 and 2:00. That's three and three.
51:10
I'm actually even say 2 and one against the the A's.
51:14
A's can be pesky in Sacramento, in Sacramento, Baldy flying SEC
51:22
town, SEC town. So that's eight and four or?
51:27
No, no, 5:00 and 5:00 and 4:00. There were three and three going
51:33
into the A's series. Now they're 5:00 and 4:00. 5:00
51:36
and 4:00 and that might go a sweep against the angels,
51:40
because the angels suck. 8:00 and 4:00 so.
51:43
It's 8:00 and 4:00. Interesting.
51:48
So it really does come down to this, this series, man, because
51:51
the tiebreakers involved being five and five against each other
51:55
and the pitching line like this is, I'd hate to say it, man.
51:59
I never thought I'd be like, I can't wait to tune into a
52:02
Mariners Astros series, but like, I'm watching that.
52:19
What you I don't know what you want to tell you.
52:22
I'm watching it too. I gave you my prediction.
52:25
What are you doing over there? I.
52:27
What do you mean I said 8:00 and 4:00?
52:31
So it ends this way. The Mariners take the division.
52:37
Well, I can't control what your prediction for the Mariners is
52:41
going to be. I'm just, I'm simply saying I
52:43
think the Mariners are going to or the Astros are going to go 8
52:46
in four, which if I'm sticking with my tank that I think before
52:51
that's what I'm saying I and you trust your that just well that
52:53
just, well, that just means that I don't think the Mariners will
52:56
be able to go 8 in four. If I think the Astros are going
52:59
to go 8 in four and still win the division, that means the
53:01
Mariners by. Default you are in on the Astros
53:04
fully now after that exercise that didn't change your mind at
53:09
all. Nope, no sway.
53:12
Astros go. Astros go 8 and four, actually
53:21
forget, forget specific matchups.
53:24
Forget, forget what I said about record or you know, series
53:28
breakdown for each of those series they're going to win.
53:33
They're going to go 8 and 4 still, but they're going to, I'm
53:35
going to make a make a change. They're going to win that series
53:38
against against Seattle. OK.
53:41
Giving them the tiebreaker and I'll give you 7 and five for the
53:47
mayor. So it it will be very, very
53:48
close, but I'm still giving the edge to Houston.
53:50
Whoever made the schedule knew what they were doing.
53:54
They knew. They were like, hey, Mariners,
53:57
we'll give you a three against the Rockies for your second to
54:00
last series. Hey, Astros, we give you the
54:04
Angels to end the season. You know, like they knew.
54:07
We've talked about this though, isn't it just AI?
54:10
These schedules are just AI generated generated now aren't
54:12
they? Yeah, but I think AI is a
54:14
person, not Allen Iverson. I think that there is a, there's
54:18
something there, especially these conversations that people
54:23
are having now, you know, anyway.
54:30
I know you want to talk about the New York Mets.
54:34
We have to. 8 game losing streaks snapped yesterday,
54:37
Sunday. They had lost eight games in a
54:41
row and nine of their previous 10 coming into the final day of
54:47
the weekend. As of right now, including
54:51
yesterday's win, they are 22 and 31 since the All Star break.
54:56
permlb.com's Anthony De Como, the Mets have never lost nine
55:01
games in a row and qualified for the play offs.
55:05
Hello. So they're, as we know, they're
55:08
knocking on the door. It's not like they got anything
55:12
locked up. You throw that.
55:15
Back It's not like the freaking Giants or D backs are really
55:19
taking taking advantage of the situation.
55:24
Both are basically hovering around 500 for the last 10
55:27
games. I mean, the D backs quite
55:31
literally are 500. It's less about those two for me
55:39
and more about the Reds. Like what happened?
55:41
Reds. Really.
55:42
Just yeah, just drop half back. Just.
55:48
I, well, I don't, I don't know. I just feel like they dropped
55:50
the ball. What's crazy though is we're a
56:01
we're an insane 2 1/2 weeks out from a scenario where the
56:07
Cardinals could be in the play offs.
56:11
Sorry, I just, I like looking at ridiculous things like that.
56:14
It's not going to happen. But you like saying it too.
56:16
Just the fact that it's, you know, a possibility.
56:18
But no, let's talk about the Mets.
56:20
Mets, Padres starting tomorrow. The the issue with the Mets is
56:29
that they've been booty longer than just this nine game
56:33
stretch. As Mets fans would hopefully
56:36
tell you. Got a got a couple Nuggets here
56:41
for you Nate. The Mets since June 12th or no,
56:46
Excuse me. On June 12th the Mets improved
56:50
to 45 and 24 best record in the majors.
56:53
They led the East by 5 1/2 games and according to Fangrass had a
56:58
75% chance of winning the division and 96% chance of
57:02
making the play offs since that date.
57:05
However, June 12th where again they held the best record in the
57:08
majors at 45 and 24. Since that date, only the
57:14
Rockies and Twins have had worse records at 32 and 49.
57:21
So this goes this this issue, this slide goes far beyond the
57:28
last. Two weeks.
57:29
They are who we thought they were.
57:33
I'd like to pull some receipts on those on those episodes when
57:39
when the going was good, you know, just to see where we were.
57:42
I'd be hesitant because I feel like I'd maybe try to throw them
57:49
some bones when things were going good.
57:52
So I'd be hesitant to uncover those receipts.
57:58
You maybe not as much. I feel like you were, you were
58:01
kind of just where you were with them throughout, but I, I feel
58:04
like I had bounced back and forth a little bit.
58:07
Feel like I remember specifically talking about their
58:10
lack of starting pitching and it would fizzle eventually.
58:16
Yeah, 'cause you were coming at it from the angle of knowing,
58:20
you know, the lack of what Clay Holmes was going to be able to
58:23
provide you and then the rest of the guy.
58:27
I don't think we any of us, could have predicted just how
58:29
much of a fall off the other arms would have.
58:32
Like no disrespect, even when healthy, I don't think Frankie
58:35
Montas and Sean Manaya are going to be like your horses division
58:43
now in June. Like no disrespect.
58:47
Not going to be your horses in October, sadly.
58:50
Sorry. Mets in the post season or not?
58:58
Yeah, just because it's clear that the Giants and D backs and
59:02
Reds just have no sense of urgency, and I think the Mets
59:08
lineup is good enough to squeak it out.
59:15
That's fair. That's fair take.
59:16
I mean, I don't want to give the Mets any any unnecessary credit,
59:22
so I'll I'll favor the first part of that take where you said
59:25
that there's a lack of urgency on behalf of those other teams,
59:27
which I, I, I could agree with. I mean, they're literally, quite
59:31
literally hovering around 500 ball over the I mean for the
59:35
season, obviously, but for even over the last two weeks, just no
59:42
real, no real push. So I'm with you on that.
59:48
Anything else looking around the, the, the playoff picture, I
59:53
mean, it is that time of year where this is, this is, these
59:55
are just the conversations we have.
59:56
I mean, there's. No, a lot of scoreboard
59:57
watching. There's no real main headlines
1:00:01
at the moment outside of what we talked about.
1:00:03
So it's really just, you know, bopping around to the rest of
1:00:05
the league. A Sox coming off a huge win
1:00:10
prime time last night. I'm glad we were all there for
1:00:13
that. That was that was good.
1:00:15
The fact that you had crochet going, the fact that you how
1:00:21
many punch outs did you have? Like 1012 you get 1,000,000.
1:00:24
I think it was 12 the. Fact that you had a six run
1:00:29
first inning and the game finished out with like those
1:00:38
those 9th inning at bats mattered.
1:00:41
I think that's pretty interesting.
1:00:42
I'm I'm OK with how that series went as the Yankees fan so.
1:00:47
I mean, the eyes of the world were upon them, and socks came
1:00:55
through on on a national. Right.
1:00:59
On a national stage, I don't know, I don't know what else to
1:01:01
tell you, but you know, big, big win for the the boys in Beantown
1:01:06
to close out the weekends. Your last six games are not fun.
1:01:14
Jay's just keep winning. Jay's Tigers.
1:01:19
Oh, well, I guess I can say this because she told me.
1:01:22
So there's no reason I couldn't tell anybody else.
1:01:27
Meredith, last night was like, hey, your birthday is coming up.
1:01:32
But I kind of have to tell you now because, you know, there's
1:01:37
might be some planning that has to go into this.
1:01:39
And she's like, I got tickets for the last series of the
1:01:44
season against the Tigers and I'm like, that's sick.
1:01:49
Like it's been a minute since we've been.
1:01:51
In fact, I think the last time we're I was in Boston was the
1:01:53
Wild Card game. Really.
1:01:56
That doesn't sound right right now.
1:01:58
I think you went up with her since then.
1:02:07
I don't know that I have. I'd have to go out and look,
1:02:09
Maybe we did. Maybe we stopped in there on our
1:02:11
way to somewhere else. Either way, have not been to
1:02:15
Boston as much as I would have liked to.
1:02:16
So I was like, shoot, that'd be a nice trip.
1:02:20
But then in my in the back of my head, I'm like could.
1:02:22
Be a terrible trip. I'm like, these are going to
1:02:27
potentially be some really important games and I'm going to
1:02:29
be pretty high strung. You are like, yeah, it's not
1:02:33
going to be. It's not going to be a fun ride.
1:02:37
You know, it's like the drive back down if it's a bad series.
1:02:40
Oh boy, don't, don't put that on me.
1:02:43
Thanks, wife. Thank you for these incredible
1:02:46
tickets. I'm going to be the crappiest
1:02:48
person you'll ever meet on the way home.
1:02:51
How long is that drive? Six hours.
1:02:54
No, it's longer than that. It's like. 8.
1:02:58
Yeah, well, because what was funny is she was like, you'd
1:03:01
have to, we'd have to take off Friday because she was like, I
1:03:04
would the plane is get tickets for Friday night and Saturday
1:03:07
night. So I'm like, shoot, so if the
1:03:10
game's at 7, when would we have to leave?
1:03:12
And I went back and looked at our vlog from the, oh, the 21
1:03:16
wild card because I had time stamped it on the video and I
1:03:19
think I left out of my apartment at 5:00 and we got there I think
1:03:25
at 2:00. So that was 9 hours, Yeah, with
1:03:31
a couple stops. Couple lunch stops, Couple P
1:03:35
stops. Yeah, So hasn't been confirmed
1:03:41
yet. We still got to figure out a
1:03:42
potential lodging situation because we might want to take
1:03:46
take rookie up there, which would be cool.
1:03:48
But if that does happen, that's that could be a stressful
1:03:52
weekend for me. Yeah, looking forward to it.
1:04:01
Any who's That's all I really had.
1:04:04
Closing the book. You see Anthony Anthony Rizzo at
1:04:06
Wrigley over the weekend. I did.
1:04:08
It's cool, very cool. I would be I you could just tell
1:04:14
you'd be homies with them. Like you could just tell about
1:04:16
certain people. You'd be like we'd be boys, we'd
1:04:20
be boys. It was good seeing the
1:04:24
pinstripes that he belongs in, it helped.
1:04:29
Those are just vertical stripes. That's I don't they're not.
1:04:32
It, it helped me, it helped me get back to viewing Anthony
1:04:38
Rizzo the way I used to. I, I didn't look at him with
1:04:40
contempt anymore. When I, when I saw him on the
1:04:43
broadcast, I was like, that's our guy, That's our boy.
1:04:46
That's the guy that we know and love, not whoever this previous
1:04:50
version, this most recent version of him was.
1:04:53
Great version, great version. Look, there's.
1:04:56
So great, so great that he was looking for a job, you know?
1:04:59
Some, there's some sequels that are really, really good.
1:05:03
They're not as good as the first one, but they're still really,
1:05:06
really good. You know, this was a good
1:05:09
sequel, but the OG one is the OG one, you know?
1:05:17
I'll allow that. Take it.
1:05:18
Was cool. It was cool for Ryan Dempster.
1:05:19
Hang out with him. Did you see that?
1:05:23
Yeah, I saw. Him like sitting behind him,
1:05:25
chopping it up. Saw him working.
1:05:28
What are those? What do they call him?
1:05:29
The the snakes? The beer cup snakes.
1:05:32
Yeah, the snag the pic where he where he snags it and someone's
1:05:37
throwing it to him. Then he starts talking to
1:05:39
another guy and he's like, that's how you catch it.
1:05:42
Do you see how he was, what, one or two rows over from that home
1:05:47
run ball? Yeah, that would have been nuts.
1:05:50
Yeah, that would have been crazy cool.
1:05:53
Yeah, Man, I love her, though. Just a good guy.
1:05:56
Just a. It's too too easy to root for.
1:06:01
Just a good fella. Yeah.
