Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Every team needs guy like this. He pitched in the playoffs.
- 0:03Speaker 1: I'm on Phil side on this one. I think he's
- 0:05Speaker 1: a legit reliever and these kind of guys should have
- 0:09Speaker 1: a nice little four to six million dollar contract every year.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Hey, it's not Fraser Friday, Okay, it's Toddfather Technology day Father.
- 0:23Speaker 2: I think this is your first show away from your

- 0:52Speaker 4: get the lined up a little bit. Now ready to rock?
- 0:55Speaker 1: Man?

- 0:58Speaker 4: want to go home.
- 1:00Speaker 3: So nice.
- 1:00Speaker 2: It's just you don't have to look. It's eighty and
- 1:03Speaker 2: sonny every day. It's not even raining lately, which is weird.
- 1:06Speaker 3: I could use a.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Little, you know, one thirty pm Eastern Rain. We're in
- 1:10Speaker 2: the show. Anyway, I get a nice free car wash,
- 1:12Speaker 2: but it's okay, it'll come back anyway. We're gonna charge
- 1:17Speaker 2: right away because we have a lot to get to
- 1:18Speaker 2: and it's related to a game that Todd Father knows
- 1:21Speaker 2: more about than basically anyone.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Else because he was there.
- 1:29Speaker 2: The Yankees are the road team in their spring training
- 1:32Speaker 2: home but most importantly, Todd Father and Aaron Judge were
- 1:37Speaker 2: giggling and giggling and having the best conversation. We've got
- 1:41Speaker 2: a nice photo here. If you're listening to us later on,
- 1:43Speaker 2: i'd advise you to check it out. It was posted
- 1:45Speaker 2: by the Yankees. Todd Father and Aaron Judge.
- 1:48Speaker 3: What are you guys giggling about?
- 1:50Speaker 4: Yeah, that was a good one. We were, you know,
- 1:52Speaker 4: we were chit chatting before, just catching up and then
- 1:55Speaker 4: you know, he's asked how my son was doing. To
- 1:57Speaker 4: explain him he hit his first home run and he's like,
- 2:00Speaker 4: let me see. So I show him the video and
- 2:02Speaker 4: I showed him basically, our little, our little thing we did.
- 2:05Speaker 4: He that he promised me. I had to promise him
- 2:07Speaker 4: to do like fake hand off as he's rounding a
- 2:10Speaker 4: third and pretend to throw him a touchdown pass and
- 2:13Speaker 4: him and I just started laughing out loud, and then
- 2:15Speaker 4: he did this euro step thing. I'm like, dude, you
- 2:18Speaker 4: gotta act like you've been there before. And we just
- 2:19Speaker 4: we were just laughing about the whole thing. Man, I
- 2:21Speaker 4: told my son he was He's like, you gotta be
- 2:24Speaker 4: kidding me. This is so cool. I'm like, yeah, yeah.
- 2:26Speaker 4: So we had a good laugh before the game. And
- 2:30Speaker 4: you know, it's good to catch up with some old buddies.
- 2:32Speaker 4: There's not too many cratzy out there that you and
- 2:34Speaker 4: I played with, so we gotta we gotta stick together.
- 2:37Speaker 4: And when we go see some guys and when they play.
- 2:39Speaker 1: There's still tons that I played with because I played
- 2:41Speaker 1: with so many of them and they were all super young.
- 2:44Speaker 1: So I'm good to go. But a couple things. First
- 2:48Speaker 1: of all, your son isn't isn't Ge, isn't John Carlow Stanton.
- 2:52Speaker 1: You can't take his hand off to throw the pass,
- 2:55Speaker 1: so let your son be created, let him do his
- 2:57Speaker 1: own thing. Secondly, you get haircuts because you go on
- 3:02Speaker 1: the net on that network without and you're not getting
- 3:05Speaker 1: a haircut for foul territory. And three, how soon. Is
- 3:09Speaker 1: John's coming on the show, because you're over here, so
- 3:14Speaker 1: when's he coming on the show? Was that one of
- 3:16Speaker 1: the questions or is that what you guys were laughing about.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Listen, it's hard. It's hard to get these guys to
- 3:25Speaker 4: come on the show man. It's like, you know, when
- 3:28Speaker 4: you're having a good conversation, it's tough just to you know,
- 3:30Speaker 4: go in there and be like, oh, and by the way,
- 3:32Speaker 4: it's hard. I'm gonna work. I'm gonna work at that today.
- 3:35Speaker 4: I'm gonna work at that today. Now there you go.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Hmm. We need Fraser Fridays to include a little Yanks love. Yeah,
- 3:42Speaker 2: Judge is one of the last remaining superstars to shield
- 3:47Speaker 2: us off.
- 3:47Speaker 3: But we might be able to get them. We might.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I think that giggle might put it over the top.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Might it might?
- 3:53Speaker 1: It might.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I think we got a shot, all right. Before we
- 3:58Speaker 2: get to jazz, one more thing, you know. Aaron Boone
- 4:01Speaker 2: said it was a little bit odd that he shows
- 4:04Speaker 2: back up to his home Spring Training Park and he's
- 4:09Speaker 2: a visitor. He left a good luck note and a
- 4:11Speaker 2: bottle of tequila in Kevin Cash's desk, manager of the race,
- 4:17Speaker 2: and Boone said, just my housewarming gifts like, hey, take
- 4:20Speaker 2: care of the place. So what was it like scene wise?
- 4:24Speaker 2: I haven't been there yet. I know that it's spring
- 4:26Speaker 2: break and a lot of people have off for holidays
- 4:28Speaker 2: and all kinds of stuff up north, so it seemed
- 4:31Speaker 2: like it was flooded with Yankee fans.
- 4:33Speaker 3: But what was the whole scene like.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was weird. You've seen you know,
- 4:38Speaker 4: a new race sign over Yankee signs raise up. Dates
- 4:44Speaker 4: had a big sign in the outfield looking you know,
- 4:46Speaker 4: out over Dell Maybury Highway over there and explaining to
- 4:51Speaker 4: it says, you know, raise up, and then it says
- 4:53Speaker 4: thank you Yankees on the bottom. I thought that was
- 4:55Speaker 4: pretty cool. The clubhouse, the home clubhouse is all renovated
- 4:58Speaker 4: and absolutely it looks like a big league clubhouse. The
- 5:03Speaker 4: visiting side is still pretty much the same. It actually
- 5:06Speaker 4: looks a little bit better than what it was. A
- 5:08Speaker 4: little crammed in there, you know, they had, you know,
- 5:11Speaker 4: it seemed like one of those COVID years, Like where
- 5:14Speaker 4: the media used to eat is now the lunch and
- 5:17Speaker 4: dinner room for the visiting teams. You know, the training
- 5:22Speaker 4: room is all the way on the opposite side, the
- 5:24Speaker 4: weight room is state of the art. It's absolutely incredible.
- 5:27Speaker 4: There's still some Yankee things. Uh, you know, it's George
- 5:30Speaker 4: Steinbrunners statue is one thing. They said, you can't touch
- 5:33Speaker 4: that staying up. There's little Yankee logos on the chairs.
- 5:37Speaker 4: You know, there's some things that they really you know,
- 5:40Speaker 4: if you're gonna nitpick everything, I mean, it's just not
- 5:43Speaker 4: even worth it, but it is. It's it's still a nice,
- 5:45Speaker 4: beautiful stadium. It was packed house last night, and you know,
- 5:49Speaker 4: the amenities for the home side are absolutely incredible. They
- 5:52Speaker 4: did a really good job.
- 5:54Speaker 1: You did a great job last night in the game.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I made sure I listened to the Yes Network. When
- 5:58Speaker 1: you use so you're a natural at it. You flow,
- 6:01Speaker 1: it sounds good. What I thought was cool. What Boonie
- 6:05Speaker 1: said was about how it's weird Todd. You can attest
- 6:09Speaker 1: to this. You played for a couple different teams. When
- 6:11Speaker 1: you go to spring training, especially when you go to
- 6:13Speaker 1: spring training like a couple of years in a row
- 6:16Speaker 1: at one place and you're like, oh wait, I'm going
- 6:20Speaker 1: back to that place again as a visitor, you almost
- 6:24Speaker 1: like you start walking down the hall to go to
- 6:26Speaker 1: the because the Yankees walk in the hallway is really
- 6:29Speaker 1: far to get to the clubhouse at Steinbrenner. You almost
- 6:33Speaker 1: like you almost missed the door. If you're not thinking,
- 6:35Speaker 1: you're on the phone, you're taxing something like that, you
- 6:38Speaker 1: forget oh wait, yeah, I'm going in as a visitor.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And you look around in your teammates they all are like,
- 6:44Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like, we're just going right in
- 6:45Speaker 1: here as a visitor. But you did it so much.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I wonder how it is for the Yankees, because everybody
- 6:52Speaker 1: gets off the bus and they're like, oh, yeah, we're
- 6:53Speaker 1: just gonna go wait a minute, Nope, nope, we're going
- 6:55Speaker 1: to the visiting I think it'll be weird.
- 6:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, you know. I we took the last
- 7:00Speaker 4: bus and there was three four guys on there, Bellinger
- 7:03Speaker 4: and you know, Jazz and a couple guys. They went
- 7:06Speaker 4: straight on the field. They didn't even walk in the back,
- 7:09Speaker 4: so you know, to get that impression, I walked on
- 7:12Speaker 4: the back and you know, just you know, that's their
- 7:13Speaker 4: first stop is the visiting clubhouse. And yeah, I mean,
- 7:18Speaker 4: not much was really said about it. It just clubhouses
- 7:21Speaker 4: was usually it was really empty. You know, it's kind
- 7:23Speaker 4: of not the spot to be in the spots to
- 7:25Speaker 4: be out there or you know, go in the training
- 7:28Speaker 4: room or the weight room wherever you have to be.
- 7:30Speaker 4: But yeah, not many guys are sitting in there, and
- 7:32Speaker 4: just you know, it's one of those it's a minor
- 7:35Speaker 4: league park, dude. I mean, it gets crammed in there.
- 7:37Speaker 4: So when you got the media and everybody in there,
- 7:39Speaker 4: it was kind of tough. But I was in the
- 7:41Speaker 4: dugout the whole time. Man, it was beautiful out watching
- 7:44Speaker 4: some VP and chit chatting away with some you know,
- 7:46Speaker 4: people you haven't seen in a while.
- 7:49Speaker 1: I like it.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Yeah, crafts that his flex was that yesterday. Oh it
- 7:54Speaker 2: wasn't just BEP passes.
- 7:55Speaker 3: I was just roaming along the legally, yeah, illegally. So
- 8:02Speaker 3: all right, that's great though. I agree. I was listening
- 8:04Speaker 3: to Todd Father. It was awesome.

- 9:07Speaker 3: Now. Let's talk Jazz. I'm showtime, Steve Right.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Raiser up three to one. They end up falling six
- 9:19Speaker 2: to three. Here's where the game is already six y three.
- 9:21Speaker 2: In the top of the seventh Jazz gets wrung up
- 9:23Speaker 2: on a three to two pitch from Mason Montgomery and
- 9:27Speaker 2: it was not a strike and so he gets booted.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Jazz said afterward that he felt like he didn't say
- 9:31Speaker 2: anything wrong before he got wrung up, and he said
- 9:34Speaker 2: he definitely said wrong things after he got wrung up
- 9:37Speaker 2: that would lead to an injection. He then went to
- 9:40Speaker 2: the clubhouse and tweeted not even bleeping close. And there
- 9:47Speaker 2: were some people that threw out there in MLBPA policy,
- 9:50Speaker 2: that's not true.
- 9:51Speaker 3: I actually fact checked with multiple sources.
- 9:53Speaker 2: It's an MLB policy obviously, which makes much more sense
- 9:57Speaker 2: about being able to do the social media thing technically
- 10:01Speaker 2: during a game and in the clubhouse, Jazz basically said,
- 10:04Speaker 2: I don't care, I'll pay whatever fine. It's not like
- 10:05Speaker 2: he's going to get suspended for that. So Todd, father,
- 10:09Speaker 2: what did we see? And also in the at bat earlier,
- 10:13Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that he missed a call. On the
- 10:17Speaker 2: other side, I'm trying to remember what the home plate
- 10:19Speaker 2: on the team was, right, Yeah, Tom Payne, did he
- 10:25Speaker 2: try to give one back?
- 10:28Speaker 4: Now?
- 10:28Speaker 1: So here?
- 10:30Speaker 4: John John Bacon was the guy's name. I honestly felt
- 10:35Speaker 4: like there there was you know, it was a I
- 10:37Speaker 4: think it was a tough day for John at the
- 10:39Speaker 4: end of the day. I feel like there was a
- 10:41Speaker 4: lot of calls. You know, we we could have talked
- 10:43Speaker 4: about on the broadcast, but you know, you don't want
- 10:47Speaker 4: to nitpick every single call. The pitch before he got
- 10:50Speaker 4: thrown out was strike three. I mean that was that
- 10:53Speaker 4: was a blatant strike. He missed that call, and you know,
- 10:57Speaker 4: I go back as a player, you know, the first
- 10:58Speaker 4: thing is I think of his Is it a makeup call?
- 11:01Speaker 4: You know, and you don't always want to think about that,
- 11:03Speaker 4: but you know it does happen in the game. But again,
- 11:07Speaker 4: that next pitch was was really a ball, and you
- 11:10Speaker 4: know that's the frustrating part. You're facing Montgomery left hander
- 11:14Speaker 4: who's throwing one hundred plus miles an hour, and you're
- 11:17Speaker 4: working your butt off to get to a three to
- 11:18Speaker 4: two count, and I feel Jazz is pain at the
- 11:20Speaker 4: end of the day. You missed the call, not my problem,
- 11:23Speaker 4: you know, And it's like, well, I didn't swing the bat,
- 11:25Speaker 4: so if I'm an umpire, it's not my problem. He
- 11:27Speaker 4: struck out, so it's vice versa. But then the next
- 11:30Speaker 4: pitch is a good ball down and you ring them
- 11:33Speaker 4: up on strike three. Yeah, that's frustrating. You're up six
- 11:35Speaker 4: to three in the game. You don't want to get
- 11:36Speaker 4: thrown out in the seventh inning. But that's very frustrating. Part.
- 11:40Speaker 4: You know, Jazz loss is cool. He even said that
- 11:43Speaker 4: he says he's gotten better at all this kind of stuff.
- 11:45Speaker 4: But again, as an umpire, you got to just lock
- 11:48Speaker 4: it in a little more. And I thought, you know,
- 11:50Speaker 4: he did call some pitches that were you know, that
- 11:53Speaker 4: should have gone the other way during the whole game,
- 11:55Speaker 4: and it was for both teams.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Though it was for both teams. It was, you know,
- 11:59Speaker 1: one on the play ball, one off the play strike.
- 12:02Speaker 1: He didn't have the best game, but I means I'm
- 12:04Speaker 1: scorecard wasn't awful. But I was always funny was I
- 12:07Speaker 1: was watching the game with my with my family, and
- 12:10Speaker 1: every time it was a strike three call, he was
- 12:12Speaker 1: like and it was like it was like he was
- 12:16Speaker 1: he was flipping the bird to the guy who just
- 12:18Speaker 1: struck out. Every time I've never seen. I mean, I
- 12:21Speaker 1: John Bacon came up in the minor leagues with me
- 12:23Speaker 1: and I just never never really saw. But that was
- 12:25Speaker 1: a strike three call. He gave Jazz the bird. And
- 12:28Speaker 1: are we supposed to not be on Should Major League
- 12:31Speaker 1: Baseball change that? Like why can't people be on Twitter
- 12:35Speaker 1: during games? Would that be live interaction or is there
- 12:38Speaker 1: something that we're worried about guys.
- 12:39Speaker 3: But it's stupid.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Yeah, it's you know what I'm.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Saying, like, yeah, they don't want.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Anybody on internet. They don't want anybody out of the game.
- 12:51Speaker 3: What are you worried about he's out of the game.
- 12:53Speaker 4: I mean, well, I mean in my opinion that he
- 12:55Speaker 4: can look, he can go back and you know, look
- 12:57Speaker 4: at some things during the game and you know the
- 12:59Speaker 4: next thing like, yo, you guys got to see this.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Look what this guy umpire did? You know you got
- 13:04Speaker 4: to see you know, I don't know, I'm not one
- 13:05Speaker 4: hundred percent sure, but there's you know, you know how
- 13:08Speaker 4: the internet can be. I don't remember that. I remember
- 13:11Speaker 4: when they put that rule in and they had people
- 13:14Speaker 4: walking around in the clubhouse watching you basically, you know,
- 13:18Speaker 4: change and don't touch your phone. Don't you dare go
- 13:21Speaker 4: to a computer like it was. It was really strange,
- 13:24Speaker 4: but it was they would find you and stuff. It
- 13:27Speaker 4: was weird.
- 13:29Speaker 1: So Major League Baseball change that to no social media
- 13:32Speaker 1: because I think one of the best things that the
- 13:35Speaker 1: big Major League Baseball like objectives is more connection with players.
- 13:41Speaker 1: And one of the cool things that they've done is
- 13:44Speaker 1: they've miked up guys. Every not one person has has
- 13:47Speaker 1: been like dumb, like fans enjoy it overall, they enjoy it.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Isn't there something that we could do, like if players
- 13:56Speaker 1: and teams don't feel like it's a distraction, isn't there
- 14:00Speaker 1: like a way that people could really connect? Oh my gosh,
- 14:04Speaker 1: Jazz is going to be tweeting during the third inning
- 14:07Speaker 1: being like, I don't know, are we are? Am? I am?
- 14:10Speaker 1: I thinking way too outside the box there.
- 14:13Speaker 4: I think. I honestly think they'll be afraid of what
- 14:16Speaker 4: some people are going to say. You know, I you know,
- 14:18Speaker 4: you don't want to crush anybody. I mean, if you're
- 14:20Speaker 4: going to go up there and be like, hey man,
- 14:22Speaker 4: I saw a nice two to two pitch. I was
- 14:25Speaker 4: thinking this, thinking that, and I got a good pitch
- 14:27Speaker 4: to hit and I hit it out of the park.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Let's go Yankees. I mean, that's pretty cool. But I
- 14:32Speaker 4: would I would say that baseball is probably the only
- 14:34Speaker 4: sport you could probably do that because there's so much
- 14:36Speaker 4: downtime in between, and it would be the only sport
- 14:40Speaker 4: you couldn't do that really for you know, you think
- 14:42Speaker 4: of basketball, halftime would be the only time you could
- 14:44Speaker 4: really do a football I mean halftime as well. But
- 14:47Speaker 4: you only got fifteen minutes to really get after it.
- 14:50Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't see it in game. But my
- 14:54Speaker 2: thing is postgame, who cares if Jazz heads to his
- 14:57Speaker 2: phone says that umpire had a bad day, or the
- 15:01Speaker 2: pitcher who just went eight shutout innings is you know
- 15:05Speaker 2: in the clubhouse and says, I was pitching today for
- 15:08Speaker 2: you know, my son. He told me that he wanted
- 15:10Speaker 2: me to do X y Z. I mean that stuff's cool.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Obviously they'll say that to the media after the game,
- 15:15Speaker 2: But you also are only affecting how many players scrats
- 15:20Speaker 2: if you suddenly said, as MLB, hey you can tweet
- 15:25Speaker 2: after you're out of a game, even if it's still
- 15:28Speaker 2: during the game, how many players would actually take them
- 15:30Speaker 2: up on that?
- 15:31Speaker 1: Ten there were I think there'd be a generation of
- 15:35Speaker 1: players that would that would start it. I couldn't have.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I couldn't have. That would have been distracting to me
- 15:40Speaker 1: as a player. But I'm saying, like, what their fans.
- 15:43Speaker 1: What do fans do? Let's say there's a there's a
- 15:47Speaker 1: pitching change, but there's something you know, even in between
- 15:50Speaker 1: innings fans. I was just at the Pirates game, the
- 15:54Speaker 1: hundred to hundred two hundred fans that were there, they
- 15:57Speaker 1: picked their phone up and they go when there's down time.
- 16:01Speaker 1: What if now there's something there that's interacting them from
- 16:05Speaker 1: the game. Oh you see what Reee Hoskins said after
- 16:09Speaker 1: his bat like this, like I don't know, I don't.
- 16:12Speaker 2: Know, Jamon and said in the chat first bad crats take,
- 16:18Speaker 2: I may have ever heard on this program.
- 16:22Speaker 3: That's really great. That's a compliment.
- 16:25Speaker 1: Thank you, that's a compliment.
- 16:27Speaker 3: Yes, the game, that's true, right, one mess up?
- 16:32Speaker 1: You know. Nine.
- 16:34Speaker 2: But during the game, even if the league said it
- 16:37Speaker 2: was okay, you'd get a lot of pushback from teams.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Teams aren't gonna want players putting out their thoughts to
- 16:44Speaker 2: the world on a device during a game.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Or we just talked about.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Yeah, but we just talked about also a team that
- 16:52Speaker 2: doesn't even want their players on their phones in the
- 16:55Speaker 2: clubhouse at all.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. I get it. Sorry, Jamon, I'm
- 17:00Speaker 1: thinking outside the box.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Hey, you know me, I'm all for all that stuff. Anyway.
- 17:06Speaker 2: The Yankees win the game six to three. Will Warren
- 17:09Speaker 2: only went only it went one in two thirds, got
- 17:11Speaker 2: five outs. Bullpen picked up the pace the rest of
- 17:13Speaker 2: the way. Junior Camenaro had a two run dinger. Apparently
- 17:16Speaker 2: Stanton left them all a nice little what was it
- 17:18Speaker 2: a bat that he left that was it a torp?
- 17:23Speaker 3: Because he's a.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not one hundred on that, but I did
- 17:28Speaker 4: find out that's where Bernie Williams was too as well.
- 17:31Speaker 4: So there's some good company that in that uh, in
- 17:33Speaker 4: that locker room right there.
- 17:35Speaker 2: And lastly, Todd Father anything else we should know for
- 17:38Speaker 2: the weekend Yankster twelve and seven Rais are okay for now.
- 17:41Speaker 2: I don't remember what their record is at the moment.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Ben Rice looks pretty damn good.
- 17:45Speaker 3: And yeah, he worked.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Out a ton in the offseason, because I saw him
- 17:49Speaker 2: in person. I've seen him, you know, on our show
- 17:52Speaker 2: a couple of times.
- 17:53Speaker 3: His next got beef.
- 17:55Speaker 4: Now, dude, these guys, these guys are huge, man, And
- 18:00Speaker 4: they might some of them might not be the tallest,
- 18:03Speaker 4: but they are absolutely monsters of human beings and they're
- 18:07Speaker 4: are strong, and yeah, I would say Ben Rice, man,
- 18:10Speaker 4: this guy is so short and sweet to the baseball
- 18:12Speaker 4: right now and a career high four hits, probably probably
- 18:16Speaker 4: almost got five hits. Hit the ball hard to first
- 18:18Speaker 4: base as last the bat, but had some clutch hits.
- 18:21Speaker 4: I mean him in the two hole. I mean that
- 18:23Speaker 4: looks pretty good. Get on base for Judge and the
- 18:26Speaker 4: other guys. I mean, whould thow Paul Boltschman be a
- 18:28Speaker 4: leadoff guy? So I find that absolutely amazing too as well.
- 18:31Speaker 4: So they look pretty good, man, they look really good.
- 18:36Speaker 2: Yep, all right, Well you can listen to Todd Father
- 18:38Speaker 2: all weekend along on the Yankees broadcast. Patrick Corbin apparently
- 18:42Speaker 2: got bit by something venomous that caused his foot to
- 18:46Speaker 2: get all swollen and he was barely walking around the clubhouse.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Did you guys see this? Yeah, the lead was buried.
- 18:52Speaker 2: He ended up still pitching on Wednesday, gave up one
- 18:55Speaker 2: run in five and a third, and he's been pretty
- 18:57Speaker 2: decent for them. And they told us all the news
- 18:59Speaker 2: about out how you got messed up. There's all the quotes.
- 19:03Speaker 2: I don't know if we'll have time to read it
- 19:05Speaker 2: all during the break here. But anyway, Todd Father, I
- 19:07Speaker 2: don't know if I've ever heard of this one of you.
- 19:10Speaker 4: No, man, this is this is crazy. I know there,
- 19:13Speaker 4: you know, when I see a spider in the house,
- 19:15Speaker 4: I gotta see you later. Bro. I'm not a big
- 19:18Speaker 4: insect guy. I'm not a big bug guy at all.
- 19:21Speaker 4: And you know that, Wow, that's that's crazy. Man. I
- 19:24Speaker 4: hope he feels better. I hope he gets better soon.
- 19:26Speaker 4: But that that's scary. That's scary, man. And that little
- 19:30Speaker 4: thing like that cannot make you move and you feel terrible.
- 19:33Speaker 4: Oh man, that's that's spooky.
- 19:39Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody. Spider he's got some Spidey sense. He's got
- 19:43Speaker 1: an extra tackle like on that pitch, on his pitches
- 19:46Speaker 1: now every time they check him, just like Spider Man.
- 19:50Speaker 1: You don't know the joke.
- 19:52Speaker 2: I was like, Krats has to give us something on this.
- 19:54Speaker 2: There's got to be something. So there you go. And
- 19:57Speaker 2: it was part of the Rangers sweeping the Angels, by
- 19:59Speaker 2: the way, I was, it's a tough sweep for the Angels.
- 20:01Speaker 3: Yesterday the Rangers one to five to three.

- 21:26Speaker 2: switching hitting coaches. Veteran coach Hensley Mullins is being replaced
- 21:31Speaker 2: by Clint Hurdle, who used to be the manager of
- 21:34Speaker 2: the Rockies and he has been the assistant to the
- 21:37Speaker 2: general manager, Bill Schmidt, and now he is going to
- 21:40Speaker 2: be their hitting coach.
- 21:41Speaker 3: I know you've had some time with Clint in the past.
- 21:44Speaker 3: He's been on this show too.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Kratz man that Rockies offense doesn't look good after a
- 21:50Speaker 2: few weeks. Whoop onto the next hitting coach, and now
- 21:53Speaker 2: they're going to lead the league, aren't they.
- 21:58Speaker 1: Indy breath before I answer this one, because Bam bam.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Hensley Mullins is one of the best hitting coaches that
- 22:04Speaker 1: I've ever had, not because of his hitting techniques that
- 22:09Speaker 1: he teaches, just about how he connects with guys. He
- 22:13Speaker 1: was my first hitting coach in the Arizona Fall League
- 22:16Speaker 1: in two thousand and five. Then he ended up being
- 22:19Speaker 1: the hitting coach for the Giants for a millennium and
- 22:24Speaker 1: I think he left there Bochi left and like, this
- 22:27Speaker 1: guy just knows how to connect with each player and
- 22:32Speaker 1: to fire him, I don't know. Yeah, I'm not just
- 22:37Speaker 1: gonna I'm not just gonna bustle the Rockies, but you
- 22:40Speaker 1: brought in Clint Hurdle because you know him, Like, I
- 22:44Speaker 1: don't know what the Clint Hurdle. You know, he sent
- 22:47Speaker 1: out like really inspiring emails and stuff to people. He's big, voisterous,
- 22:53Speaker 1: loud guy. I guess the Rockies know him. You bring
- 22:55Speaker 1: him back. I don't really know. I mean, it's it's tough.
- 22:59Speaker 1: I hope it work out. The hitters because they lost
- 23:02Speaker 1: a good hitting coach in Bam Bam unless Bam BAM's
- 23:05Speaker 1: changed in the last five years, which I doubt, and
- 23:08Speaker 1: you know, good luck, good luck with click.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Yeah, there's not not much to say. Bam Bam is
- 23:16Speaker 4: one of the best out there. He's not only a
- 23:18Speaker 4: good hitting coach, he's a good friend. He's he's a
- 23:21Speaker 4: funny guy. Man, he's a jokester. Everybody flocks to him
- 23:25Speaker 4: when he you know, he has something to say. You know,
- 23:28Speaker 4: we text all the time, especially during the Litle League
- 23:30Speaker 4: World Series. You know, Carasal's in there. He's like fredyseh,
- 23:34Speaker 4: take care of my boys, you know this and that.
- 23:35Speaker 4: So we still have a good little relationship. Man is
- 23:40Speaker 4: these are one of the better guys to let go.
- 23:42Speaker 4: I mean, you can't always blame a coach, you know,
- 23:46Speaker 4: for you know, other people's downfalls. I mean, it's not
- 23:49Speaker 4: his fault that they're not hitting. I mean, I mean
- 23:52Speaker 4: maybe you know there's part of it, don't get me wrong,
- 23:55Speaker 4: but knowing bam bam, he's in there every day. You know,
- 23:58Speaker 4: you can only lead a horse to you can't make
- 24:00Speaker 4: him drink it sometimes, you know, the old saying, this
- 24:02Speaker 4: dude is an absolute beast. I hope he finds himself
- 24:05Speaker 4: on his feet again with another team, because just a guy,
- 24:08Speaker 4: just a glue guy as a coach, per se.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, Muelens has had a really successful career, I mean
- 24:15Speaker 2: for the Rockies, and they're the worst team in baseball
- 24:18Speaker 2: right now. They have the worst run deferential in baseball
- 24:22Speaker 2: right now. Most of their offensive stats look putrid. Is
- 24:25Speaker 2: anyone surprised? I mean, what did we expect?
- 24:31Speaker 1: I mean, they got rid of Nolan Jones, the one
- 24:34Speaker 1: guy that was raking before. Like, what do we what
- 24:37Speaker 1: did you say? Twenty how many games in?
- 24:41Speaker 3: They're eighteen?
- 24:42Speaker 1: I believe games in this this goes to a larger,
- 24:47Speaker 1: a larger to me, what the larger problem with the
- 24:50Speaker 1: Rockies is it is a small group. Think it's the
- 24:54Speaker 1: same guys, And I don't think bam bam, it's part
- 24:58Speaker 1: of that group. Now, I'm not saying that's what he
- 25:00Speaker 1: was run out. I'm saying he's innocent of everything. But
- 25:04Speaker 1: like if you're brought in from the outside, there might
- 25:07Speaker 1: be some new things, there might be some ways. Whatever
- 25:10Speaker 1: it is, he can connect with players. He's done it
- 25:15Speaker 1: for a long time. It's okay if he's saying different
- 25:17Speaker 1: things that he's seen with other organizations where he has
- 25:21Speaker 1: all these rings on his finger from like maybe maybe
- 25:25Speaker 1: just listen and let it, let it, just let it
- 25:27Speaker 1: marinate for a little bit and not just go back to, oh, well,
- 25:30Speaker 1: you know, I'm just gonna go get my Clint from
- 25:32Speaker 1: the block. He's gonna get Clint Hurtle from our from
- 25:35Speaker 1: our run back in the day.
- 25:39Speaker 3: It's weird.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Can I ask you guys a question on a player
- 25:42Speaker 2: specifically Todd Father, Like what a hitting coach can do
- 25:45Speaker 2: with a player like this. Ezekiel Tobar is very talented,
- 25:49Speaker 2: very toolsy, very good on defense. He's hobby by as light.
- 25:54Speaker 2: He swings at everything. If you watch an a with him,
- 25:57Speaker 2: he swings at everything. So if you deliver something in
- 26:01Speaker 2: the zone, he's all over it. If you don't which
- 26:05Speaker 2: most pictures are adjusting to, he's still all over it
- 26:08Speaker 2: and he's not hitting it, or he's making poor contact.
- 26:11Speaker 3: How do you work with a guy on that.
- 26:14Speaker 4: Well, you try and get in his head. Like first off,
- 26:17Speaker 4: I'd be like, what is your game plan? What are
- 26:19Speaker 4: you thinking when you go up to the plate? Have
- 26:22Speaker 4: you studied you know? Have you looked at film? Have
- 26:25Speaker 4: you looked at your last twenty thirty at bats on
- 26:28Speaker 4: the computer to see, you know, making sure you're in
- 26:30Speaker 4: the right position to hit. Have you looked at twenty
- 26:33Speaker 4: to thirty eight bats of what the picture you're facing today?
- 26:37Speaker 4: What is your where do you hit well? What don't
- 26:40Speaker 4: you hit well? As a hitting coach, you go over
- 26:42Speaker 4: every little thing. You know, it's a matter of whether
- 26:44Speaker 4: they want to listen and do the homework. This is
- 26:46Speaker 4: your job, you know. And at the end of the
- 26:48Speaker 4: day as a hitting coach, you're in the cage waiting
- 26:51Speaker 4: to do some stuff. But you also get in there
- 26:53Speaker 4: mentally a little bit too as well. So what's your
- 26:57Speaker 4: game plan? Buddy?
- 26:58Speaker 1: You know?
- 26:58Speaker 4: What are you doing when you're in the b What
- 27:00Speaker 4: are you thinking? Of and then you can go from there,
- 27:03Speaker 4: because you can't change somebody swing overnight, especially since they're
- 27:06Speaker 4: in the major leagues, that's going to be their swing.
- 27:08Speaker 4: You know, you can move them inside the box outside,
- 27:10Speaker 4: you know. I remember the late great Pete Rose used
- 27:12Speaker 4: to tell me when I was struggling, you know, move
- 27:14Speaker 4: around a little bit, choke up on the bat, move
- 27:16Speaker 4: up in the box, move back, you know, in out, whatever, whatever,
- 27:20Speaker 4: it is, something different because you have to have a
- 27:24Speaker 4: game plan going up there, and you can't just throw
- 27:26Speaker 4: it out the window just because you see a pitch
- 27:28Speaker 4: you want to mash and it's not a strike. You
- 27:30Speaker 4: got to you gotta have a game plan.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's why that's why Todd and I didn't
- 27:36Speaker 1: say anything about how Bam Bam teaches the swing path
- 27:41Speaker 1: or like your shoulder placement or anything. Hits about the
- 27:45Speaker 1: conversation that you're having with that particular guy. And he
- 27:51Speaker 1: came from a land of success, and that kind of
- 27:55Speaker 1: stuff takes time to develop. It not eighteen games, so
- 28:00Speaker 1: so to far is still learning. Tovar is going to
- 28:03Speaker 1: be a huge piece in this organization. He's going to
- 28:06Speaker 1: have to know that he swings in a lot of pitches,
- 28:08Speaker 1: but how can we get him to make better swing
- 28:10Speaker 1: decisions and bam BAM's great at that stuff.
- 28:17Speaker 2: Yeah, well, now he'll be able to help another team
- 28:20Speaker 2: that is willing to accept someone from the outside, because
- 28:23Speaker 2: apparently it's almost like a college professor. You have to
- 28:26Speaker 2: have tenure with the Rockies and then they'll respect you.
- 28:30Speaker 2: It's just weird, but I feel for Rockies fans. The
- 28:33Speaker 2: organization definitely needs to get more outside voices, more outside help,
- 28:37Speaker 2: and for now that's just not happening. Sometimes they do
- 28:40Speaker 2: a decent job of drafting, like Chase Dolander looks like
- 28:44Speaker 2: he could be a star for them towards the top
- 28:46Speaker 2: of a rotation, but there's a lot that needs to
- 28:48Speaker 2: be fixed there and there are four pretty well run
- 28:52Speaker 2: organizations in front of them. That makes it even more
- 28:55Speaker 2: difficult because it looks right now like it's the top
- 28:57Speaker 2: division in baseball and that will really hold do down
- 29:00Speaker 2: and it doesn't look like it's going to get any
- 29:02Speaker 2: easier for the next few years. So if that didn't
- 29:05Speaker 2: make you feel good as a Rockies fan, only advice
- 29:09Speaker 2: I can offer you enjoy the games when you're there
- 29:11Speaker 2: and root for someone else, or have a secondary team.
- 29:13Speaker 2: That's probably the best way to look at it. They're
- 29:15Speaker 2: three and fifteen. They're not making the playoffs this year.
- 29:17Speaker 2: They're going to lose one hundred plus games. A couple
- 29:20Speaker 2: injury updates. Here's one on Grayson Rodriguez. He was scratched
- 29:24Speaker 2: from his side session yesterday. He's got a sore shoulder.
- 29:27Speaker 3: He had an MRI.
- 29:28Speaker 2: We haven't heard anything since that was yesterday late afternoon.
- 29:32Speaker 3: We'll let you know.
- 29:34Speaker 2: That's not great, and we are going to talk Oriols
- 29:37Speaker 2: a little bit with Kenny ballgame Rosenthal coming up.
- 29:40Speaker 3: But it's a bummer.
- 29:41Speaker 4: You know.
- 29:41Speaker 2: Grayson's obviously really good. He's got top end stuff. It's
- 29:45Speaker 2: also good for the game, which we always root for
- 29:48Speaker 2: as well. He comes on the show pretty frequently and
- 29:50Speaker 2: he's really fun to listen to.
- 29:52Speaker 3: So overall, that's a bad loss.
- 29:54Speaker 2: For the Orioles if they can't get them back on
- 29:56Speaker 2: the mound somewhat soon.
- 29:57Speaker 4: Guys, and I think sorece shoulder. It's bland to me,
- 30:05Speaker 4: you know, it's one of those things where I'm hoping
- 30:07Speaker 4: it's nothing more serious labor them. I don't know, I
- 30:12Speaker 4: you know, hopefully it's just dead arm or something something
- 30:14Speaker 4: that hopefully it's just sorece shoulder like. But when you
- 30:18Speaker 4: hear something like that and the guy's not gonna be
- 30:20Speaker 4: able to pitch, there's some underlying factors there. They're gonna
- 30:23Speaker 4: have to go in and really look at that. For sure.
- 30:26Speaker 1: I never want to see it, especially when we had
- 30:28Speaker 1: an elbow. Now it's a shoulder like. We've got to
- 30:31Speaker 1: get it all right or else something else gets affected
- 30:34Speaker 1: because he's a good one and the o's need him.

- 31:42Speaker 3: That's what he said.
- 31:45Speaker 6: Well, what I see I mean is the simple thing.
- 31:47Speaker 6: They're coming in, throw on strikes. They're being very aggressive
- 31:50Speaker 6: every time they come in. But here's the great part is,
- 31:53Speaker 6: usually when you're with a great bullpen, you have really
- 31:55Speaker 6: good bullpens, you got two lockdown guys. If you're very blessed,
- 31:58Speaker 6: you got three lockdown guys. We got four lockdown guys,
- 32:02Speaker 6: and even the guys that were not even talking about
- 32:04Speaker 6: they're coming in pounding the zone and giving.
- 32:07Speaker 4: Breathers toy everybody else.
- 32:09Speaker 6: But when you have four guys, most of the time,
- 32:13Speaker 6: you need three guys for a lockdown bullpen, but they're
- 32:16Speaker 6: coming in pounding the zone. And really, the bullpen is
- 32:20Speaker 6: one of those things that I don't think a lot
- 32:21Speaker 6: of people are talking about.
- 32:22Speaker 1: And that's fine.
- 32:24Speaker 6: Every bullpen guy will say that, Hey, talk about the offense,
- 32:27Speaker 6: talk about the starters. Don't worry because at the end
- 32:29Speaker 6: of the season, you're all gonna want us, you know,
- 32:32Speaker 6: that's when it counts. And that's what I love about
- 32:35Speaker 6: these guys right now. Robert Suarez and all those guys
- 32:38Speaker 6: are not eating up the limelight and you know, the interviews,
- 32:42Speaker 6: this and that, They're just going to do their job.
- 32:46Speaker 2: So that's Heath Bell former Padres closer also chicken wing king.
- 32:52Speaker 2: That's what the shirt said, so he can down those
- 32:55Speaker 2: chicken wings, which Jim Palmer had never tried in his
- 32:58Speaker 2: life and he's eighty years old.
- 33:01Speaker 4: Sorry, I saw that serious.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked. He looked freaked out by the bones
- 33:09Speaker 1: part because he was like, he's like, what's that. He
- 33:11Speaker 1: goes chicken tenders. He's like, oh, yeah, I'll eat the
- 33:14Speaker 1: chicken tendors. But he was like he's like, I just
- 33:18Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just not. I'm not messing with the
- 33:20Speaker 1: bone like I'm not. He didn't like it. He didn't
- 33:22Speaker 1: like it. That was crazy to me. He didn't know.
- 33:26Speaker 4: He said it was more than Remember he's brought up
- 33:28Speaker 4: the skin party. Doesn't like the skin too. He don't
- 33:32Speaker 4: like skin on an.
- 33:33Speaker 1: I didn't hear that part of it.
- 33:34Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the skin part that it brought up.
- 33:37Speaker 4: I don't like skin. Well, there you go. Yeah, never
- 33:42Speaker 4: tried the chicken. Okay.
- 33:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 33:45Speaker 2: He did point out that the skin is freaking them out.
- 33:48Speaker 2: The bones, so it just it's a little too close
- 33:50Speaker 2: to human similarities.
- 33:52Speaker 3: I guess for him, I don't know. Skin and bones.
- 33:57Speaker 4: I like that.
- 33:57Speaker 1: I love that kind of stuff. I think that makes
- 33:59Speaker 1: me really Yeah.
- 34:00Speaker 3: We tweeted about it the other day.
- 34:02Speaker 2: FT twitter is the best, so if you want to
- 34:04Speaker 2: check it out out FU Territory TV. Anyway, The Padres
- 34:06Speaker 2: bullpen so Kyle Glazer tweeted about how the combination of
- 34:11Speaker 2: Adrian moriy Hone, Jeremiah Estrada, Jason Adam who's joining US soon,
- 34:17Speaker 2: and Robert Suarez have this combined line thirty nine innings,
- 34:22Speaker 2: sixteen hits, three runs, three or thirteen walks, forty six strikeouts.
- 34:29Speaker 3: That is lights out and Kratz.
- 34:32Speaker 2: Is a bullpen that lost a guy who they acquired
- 34:36Speaker 2: at the trade deadline and were very excited about, and
- 34:38Speaker 2: he was great, and they were very close to taking
- 34:40Speaker 2: down the Dodgers and probably winning a World Series. That name,
- 34:44Speaker 2: by the way, is Tanner Scott, who's now on the Dodgers.
- 34:47Speaker 2: But the Padres bullpen is still really damn good.
- 34:51Speaker 1: They're so good, and they've kind of created these guys
- 34:55Speaker 1: they've kind of putt I gotta go back to the
- 34:58Speaker 1: to the list here, but I know was at a
- 35:02Speaker 1: Cuba I think, and he was up in the big
- 35:04Speaker 1: leagues with the Padres first at like twenty that was
- 35:07Speaker 1: I don't know how many years ago. And then you
- 35:09Speaker 1: also have Estrata. He came out of nowhere. Jason Adam.
- 35:13Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get to when we talked to him,
- 35:15Speaker 1: like this has been cast off by a lot of people.
- 35:17Speaker 1: If you watch him throw, he kind of fits into
- 35:21Speaker 1: what the Padres are doing in the sense that you
- 35:25Speaker 1: have somebody from all different angles everywhere. I mean Jason Adam,
- 35:30Speaker 1: I mean, Jason Adams. You would never teach somebody to
- 35:34Speaker 1: throw like that, and yet he's had to battle through
- 35:37Speaker 1: injuries he's had to battle through all that stuff to
- 35:39Speaker 1: be able to get where he's at. And like this
- 35:43Speaker 1: team built, like the Padres built this. Kudos to aj
- 35:46Speaker 1: Pereller and kudos to to Rubin Dieblo. They're pitching coach like,
- 35:51Speaker 1: not creating something out of nothing. But did we know
- 35:54Speaker 1: who Rob Suarez was when he came from Japan? Padres did? Uh?
- 36:00Speaker 1: He figured it out and then the Padres locked them
- 36:02Speaker 1: up like they have something brewing. And this season so
- 36:07Speaker 1: far has been historic how they've started.
- 36:12Speaker 4: And listen, and I won't be long with this, but
- 36:15Speaker 4: when you have a good bullpen, there is really you know,
- 36:18Speaker 4: you can have a bad day hitting, you can have
- 36:20Speaker 4: a bad starting guy come out, you know, twice versus
- 36:23Speaker 4: one way or another. But when you get to that bullpen,
- 36:26Speaker 4: it's like, oh man, we're okay, We're okay, we can
- 36:29Speaker 4: find a way. And they'll be in all these games
- 36:32Speaker 4: because of this bullpen. And then eventually they start hitting
- 36:35Speaker 4: and they play well at home and they have good
- 36:37Speaker 4: starting pitching too as well. I mean, it's it's a
- 36:40Speaker 4: really really good team and they got some guys to
- 36:44Speaker 4: prove it. And this is it's very satisfying. If I'm
- 36:46Speaker 4: a San Diego fan. I'm very happy right now. And
- 36:48Speaker 4: they just got to keep on cruising along.
- 36:50Speaker 5: Man.
- 36:50Speaker 4: And you think about the Dodgers, Yeah, they're gonna do well,
- 36:52Speaker 4: but this Padres team is going to be great on
- 36:55Speaker 4: their heels for the rest of the I mean for
- 36:56Speaker 4: the rest of the year in my opinion.
- 36:59Speaker 3: And there's a great check with great info. So we're
- 37:01Speaker 3: gonna plug it.
- 37:01Speaker 2: It's right next to me on your screen in the
- 37:03Speaker 2: QR code, but we'll have it take up the whole
- 37:05Speaker 2: screen for a moment. Because Kyle Glazer works his tail off.
- 37:09Speaker 2: He's really dialed in. He's the host of that show
- 37:11Speaker 2: Friar Territory.
- 37:13Speaker 3: Look it up.
- 37:14Speaker 2: Mike Cameron's on there, and so's heat Fell who you
- 37:16Speaker 2: just heard from. So you got two former big leaguers
- 37:18Speaker 2: with Padres ties and they're watching the games.
- 37:21Speaker 3: They're breaking it down.
- 37:22Speaker 2: Kyle covered the team as a beat writer in the past,
- 37:24Speaker 2: so it's really good stuff. Give it a listen, all right,
- 37:29Speaker 2: let's get to film aton So he told The New
- 37:33Speaker 2: York Post he's out for revenge against twenty nine teams,
- 37:36Speaker 2: including the Mets. Mets are in a series with the
- 37:38Speaker 2: Cardinals right now. Because he felt like the free agency.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Snub was personal.
- 37:44Speaker 2: He signed on March thirteenth, which is very late. One year,
- 37:48Speaker 2: two million bucks a major league deal with the Cardinals.
- 37:51Speaker 3: He's a set up.
- 37:51Speaker 2: Guy for them right now. He's off to a fire
- 37:53Speaker 2: start too. I mean, probably gonna get traded in a
- 37:56Speaker 2: couple months. So he better not talk too much smack
- 38:00Speaker 2: about anyone because the Mets might be like, wait, wait,
- 38:03Speaker 2: don't be mad, but we want you back.
- 38:05Speaker 3: We didn't have room then, but we want you back.
- 38:08Speaker 2: You and your nine and a third, no runs, four
- 38:10Speaker 2: hits and eleven punchouts, oh and no walks. I mean,
- 38:13Speaker 2: he's been one of the best relievers in baseball so
- 38:16Speaker 2: far this year. So I'll take the smoke top bother.
- 38:20Speaker 2: If he's pissed right now at everyone else, Okay, I mean,
- 38:24Speaker 2: let that narrative ride out the whole year, have a
- 38:26Speaker 2: great season, probably get dealt to another team, and you'll
- 38:30Speaker 2: get more money next offseason.
- 38:33Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know you, Scott, you love this talk
- 38:36Speaker 4: right here. You're like, yeah, yeah, babe, he'd let everybody
- 38:39Speaker 4: know and listen if you got it, you got it.
- 38:42Speaker 4: He's flawing it right now, little under ten innings as
- 38:45Speaker 4: you said, absolutely dominant. I love the talk. I love
- 38:50Speaker 4: you know when you get interviewed by somebody that give
- 38:52Speaker 4: you like a little juice there, a little little flair
- 38:54Speaker 4: like yeah, okay, I believe in this guy too as well,
- 38:57Speaker 4: and yeah he is. He's a really good pitcher. And
- 39:00Speaker 4: I think he's having a lot of fun out there
- 39:02Speaker 4: too as well. Like if you're going to have a
- 39:03Speaker 4: quote like this, you know you were having fun and
- 39:06Speaker 4: you are dominating. So again, yeah, yeah, he's got an
- 39:10Speaker 4: opportunity to get traded, but you know, also an opportunity
- 39:12Speaker 4: to help his ball club out too as well, and
- 39:14Speaker 4: you never know what could happen at the end.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I would just say, keep that, keep that fire. He's
- 39:23Speaker 1: a fifteenth rounder. Like the career he's had, I feel
- 39:26Speaker 1: like you always kind of have that like nobody really
- 39:30Speaker 1: wants me. It's not like when a dude gets picked
- 39:32Speaker 1: in the first round, but it's like the twentieth pick
- 39:35Speaker 1: in the first round, and he's like, oh, everybody's always
- 39:38Speaker 1: just bet against me, Like it's like whoa pump the brakes?
- 39:42Speaker 1: People have always been betting against Phil Maton. He doesn't
- 39:45Speaker 1: throw ninety five to one hundred. He just gets out,
- 39:49Speaker 1: he gets outs. And he had a little blip in
- 39:51Speaker 1: his season last year when he was with the Rays,
- 39:53Speaker 1: but if you look at his numbers when he was
- 39:55Speaker 1: with the Mets, like he figured it back out to
- 39:58Speaker 1: be the phil Maton. But he's getting up there in age.
- 40:01Speaker 1: And I guess clearly we weren't going to spend on
- 40:04Speaker 1: anybody but and Er Scott and Carlos Stevaz this offseason.
- 40:09Speaker 1: David Roberts is still out there, like I'm sure they're
- 40:12Speaker 1: probably offering him the two to four million, four to
- 40:14Speaker 1: five million dollar deals. Phil Haytown's not asking for probably
- 40:19Speaker 1: not asking for a multi year deal. I don't know.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Hopefully one day we can get him on, we can
- 40:23Speaker 1: ask him because I love when dudes talk like this,
- 40:25Speaker 1: because this is the mentality unless you're one of the
- 40:29Speaker 1: dudes that throws a billion or you hit all the dingers,
- 40:31Speaker 1: this is the mentality you have to have because screw
- 40:34Speaker 1: everybody else for not getting for not picking me up.
- 40:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna shove it to you in the sixth, seventh
- 40:40Speaker 1: or eighth or ninth inning.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's gotten some respect in the past, like
- 40:44Speaker 2: he was on a deal last year for six and
- 40:46Speaker 2: a half mil for a reliever of his caliber, that's
- 40:50Speaker 2: pretty good, and he's made fourteen mil in his career.
- 40:53Speaker 2: Now I'm totally on his side with the way that
- 40:56Speaker 2: he performed with the Mets, But that is the problem, Krats.
- 40:59Speaker 2: I mean, he had a four and a half FRA
- 41:00Speaker 2: with the Rays. Again, we're not just going off the RA.
- 41:02Speaker 2: In fact, if we were, he would have been paid
- 41:05Speaker 2: more this offseason because he had a two and a
- 41:07Speaker 2: half in twenty eight and two thirds with the Mets.
- 41:10Speaker 2: And that's some struggles in the playoffs. But teams evaluate players,
- 41:16Speaker 2: especially pitchers, differently. Now I feel like that's pretty fair
- 41:20Speaker 2: to say, Kratz. Sometimes that's a good thing, right. We
- 41:23Speaker 2: see some players that have stuff that project, that haven't
- 41:27Speaker 2: really produced the way you think they should, and they
- 41:29Speaker 2: get paid pretty well, and then you have the reverse
- 41:32Speaker 2: of this where you're like, this guy's good.
- 41:33Speaker 3: What am I missing?
- 41:34Speaker 2: Jose Kintana versus Frankie Montass we talk a lot about
- 41:37Speaker 2: in this show about this. Kintana is making significantly less.
- 41:41Speaker 2: I think he is much better at run prevention, which
- 41:43Speaker 2: is the name of the game, but it's not sexy stuff.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Montash showed some more swing and miss with what he got.
- 41:49Speaker 2: You know, this started in my mind in the modern
- 41:52Speaker 2: revolution of baseball and free agent signings with someone like
- 41:55Speaker 2: wasn't it Morton who signed for big money? Or there
- 41:59Speaker 2: might have been even someone after him. There's been a
- 42:01Speaker 2: few where they sign and you're like, that seems like
- 42:04Speaker 2: an overpay, and then you're like, oh, they saw something.
- 42:07Speaker 2: I mean, Zach Wheeler when you're going to the top
- 42:09Speaker 2: of the food chain didn't sign for that much with
- 42:12Speaker 2: that initial contract with the Phillies, and people are like,
- 42:15Speaker 2: you got that much, and it's like, actually he deserved
- 42:18Speaker 2: triple exactly.
- 42:20Speaker 1: They saw they Yeah, I mean that contract was ridiculous.
- 42:23Speaker 1: But I remember back in the day when Ian Kennedy signed,
- 42:27Speaker 1: I think with the Royals, it was like whoa, But
- 42:31Speaker 1: this dude just goes out and he produces, and they
- 42:34Speaker 1: found a value in him that would play at their park.
- 42:37Speaker 1: I don't see how teams don't find value in film Aton.
- 42:42Speaker 1: Do they want him over Tanner Scott? No? Do the
- 42:46Speaker 1: Yankees need a guy like that in their bullpen right now?
- 42:49Speaker 1: Because Will Warren went one two thirds? Yes, I'm saying
- 42:54Speaker 1: the Yankees, I'm not saying they need them specifically. I'm
- 42:56Speaker 1: saying every team needs guy like this. He pitched in
- 43:00Speaker 1: the playoffs, they're gonna look at it and go, I
- 43:02Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if his stuff plays in
- 43:05Speaker 1: the playoffs or not. Like, look at what he does
- 43:08Speaker 1: in the full A full season. You need to get
- 43:11Speaker 1: through the full season to make it to the playoffs. Tonight.
- 43:14Speaker 1: I'm on Phil side on this one. I think he's
- 43:16Speaker 1: a legit reliever and these kind of guys should have
- 43:20Speaker 1: a nice little four to six million dollar contract every
- 43:23Speaker 1: year until they prove they shouldn't. And he didn't prove
- 43:27Speaker 1: that last year.
- 43:30Speaker 2: Ian Kennedy got five year, seventy million a long time ago.
- 43:35Speaker 2: I think it was twenty fifteen or sixteen with the Royals.
- 43:41Speaker 2: That was a lot for him, but they were buying
- 43:44Speaker 2: the potential.
- 43:45Speaker 3: Yeah, that happened.
- 43:46Speaker 2: There was a time period where spin rate was kind
- 43:48Speaker 2: of new for front offices and they'd look at anybody
- 43:50Speaker 2: that had high spin and throw a bunch of money
- 43:53Speaker 2: at him.
- 43:54Speaker 3: And some of them worked really well and some of
- 43:56Speaker 3: them bombed.
- 43:58Speaker 1: And he made all his starts. The value in being
- 44:00Speaker 1: out there, if you're healthy, you're out there. They're super
- 44:04Speaker 1: value in that, and he did it.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Justin Steele is getting surgery today. Good guy, and he
- 44:11Speaker 2: put this out to the world just to thank everyone
- 44:14Speaker 2: and show them the photo there too.
- 44:17Speaker 3: So he said, appreciate the prayers and thoughts. God is good.
- 44:20Speaker 3: He had said, surgery today.
- 44:21Speaker 2: I wanted to take some time to thank everyone sent
- 44:23Speaker 2: their thoughts and you know, went through the whole deal
- 44:25Speaker 2: of you know, going through that process.
- 44:27Speaker 3: He'll miss the rest of the season.
- 44:29Speaker 2: I don't think we found out what type of elbow surgery,
- 44:32Speaker 2: but I know there's a lot of internal brace going
- 44:35Speaker 2: on these days. That gets you the quicker recovery. Sounds
- 44:38Speaker 2: like it's a little less invasive. If I say anything else,
- 44:41Speaker 2: some doctors going to DM me and say I'm not
- 44:45Speaker 2: stating it correctly. So that's the farthest I'll go. But
- 44:49Speaker 2: get well soon. To Justin Steele, Yes, tough.
- 44:53Speaker 1: He wants to be around for this year. This team's
- 44:55Speaker 1: been something. They're playing well right now, I mean minus
- 44:59Speaker 1: low to the Dodgers early, like this team's this team's playing.
- 45:03Speaker 1: They got a tough series right now. But it's tough
- 45:05Speaker 1: when a guy's with a team when they just kind
- 45:07Speaker 1: of me through mediocrity. And he was one of their
- 45:10Speaker 1: better players. Now it's like, bang, we're ready to go
- 45:13Speaker 1: make the move for Tucker. He's on this this season.
- 45:17Speaker 1: That's tough.
- 45:20Speaker 4: Yeah, and he and he's there. He's their workhorse too,
- 45:22Speaker 4: so he was there. They're one of their big guys.
- 45:25Speaker 4: So you know, you look back, oh man, could it
- 45:27Speaker 4: be spring training? Could it be going to Japan? No,
- 45:31Speaker 4: it just you know, with the way this this is
- 45:33Speaker 4: just happens to a bunch of pitchers, and you know,
- 45:36Speaker 4: hopefully he gets better soon and never has to look
- 45:38Speaker 4: back on this again.
- 45:52Speaker 2: So I don't forget because the show will end. The
- 45:54Speaker 2: crowd ends today, no bonus time, crats your hats.
- 45:59Speaker 1: I mean we'll still it off to So no, Curio,
- 46:02Speaker 1: he let me both.
- 46:02Speaker 3: Keep There's no chance he knows.
- 46:05Speaker 2: You not know why his favorite player is Julio Rodriguez
- 46:11Speaker 2: to watch Greg put.
- 46:13Speaker 1: That's what I put in the chat. I said he
- 46:15Speaker 1: has he thinks Julio Rodriguez is old. Julio's like twenty
- 46:19Speaker 1: four reality. Think about it. When you were a freshman
- 46:23Speaker 1: in high school, you looked up to the seniors. Julio
- 46:26Speaker 1: is a senior to Taxon Jurio.
- 46:30Speaker 3: That is why, Yeah, Curios and love Julio's twenty four.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Yeah, freshman senior. That's so cool. I love that.
- 46:40Speaker 2: Three year differential. That's crazy. Uh, we're going to try
- 46:44Speaker 2: to do more of that.
- 46:45Speaker 3: Yeah. Jackson, by the way, just turned twenty one years old.
- 46:49Speaker 1: Who he has birthday in spring training cake every year.
- 46:53Speaker 1: I love birthday cake. I love birthday cake.
