- 0:02Speaker 1: you a j thank you.
- 0:04Speaker 2: This has been the one thing that's been driving me
- 0:06Speaker 2: crazy about this damn spotty mow for the last few years.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Happy Monday, busy weekend. By the way, I watched our
- 0:18Speaker 3: shows when I was out and I saw at one
- 0:20Speaker 3: point Alana going, oh, Scott should be back tomorrow. And
- 0:24Speaker 3: you didn't even say anything. You were just like, I
- 0:28Speaker 3: don't know, was that wrong? No, you weren't wrong. I
- 0:33Speaker 3: wasn't there on Friday. I'm back working with about one eye.
- 0:37Speaker 3: But that means your other senses are better. My senses
- 0:41Speaker 3: smell off the charts right now.
- 0:44Speaker 2: What else taste is incredible? Yeah, you hear you, hear
- 0:51Speaker 2: everything they say about you right now, right, I know you.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I mean the spotty senses are up right now. When
- 0:58Speaker 2: one diminishes a little bit, the others heightened. So just hey,
- 1:02Speaker 2: that's a that's what I love you, bro. You always
- 1:04Speaker 2: have a positive mindset. It's all about how you perceive.
- 1:07Speaker 3: It, right exactly. Yeah, you lose part of your body
- 1:10Speaker 3: and you gain strength in other parts or something like that.
- 1:14Speaker 3: So I'll be Peter Parker today, are you am?
- 1:18Speaker 1: I I don't know you kind of look like.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Right, I don't.
- 1:21Speaker 2: You're definitely giving the sequel Peter Peter Parker.
- 1:27Speaker 3: Hey, I didn't play ball, but I do know what
- 1:29Speaker 3: it likes, what it's like to live with basically when
- 1:32Speaker 3: I right now, So it would it would not be
- 1:35Speaker 3: good for baseball. You know who I have respect for?
- 1:38Speaker 3: I already did. It's someone you have a ton of
- 1:41Speaker 3: respect for. Tommy Fam has a serious eye condition. The
- 1:45Speaker 3: fact that he has dealt with that for a long
- 1:49Speaker 3: time and been able to play Major League baseball and
- 1:52Speaker 3: see a baseball that's incredible. I know you know about
- 1:55Speaker 3: that too, obviously, but.
- 1:56Speaker 1: No, I know all about that. That's crazy. Yeah, what
- 2:00Speaker 1: he has.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Yeah, one of our ex teammates is will A j.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I don't know if you ever remember Michael Bourne literally
- 2:09Speaker 2: like can't see in one of his eyes.
- 2:11Speaker 4: It's crazy.
- 2:14Speaker 3: How do you hit a baseball?
- 2:15Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, what Tommy Fam goes every day,
- 2:17Speaker 1: what Tammy, What Tommy Fam goes through every day is
- 2:21Speaker 1: ridiculous because he I mean I've seen his routine and
- 2:25Speaker 1: what he has to do with his contacts, and he
- 2:27Speaker 1: changes contacts and he wears hard contacts, which is a
- 2:30Speaker 1: different animal. You feel those, Yeah, he feels those. That's
- 2:32Speaker 1: why if you see Tommy, he's always like kind of
- 2:34Speaker 1: like putting drops in his eyes and stuff like, it's
- 2:37Speaker 1: it's crazy. What do he has to go through? Yeah,
- 2:39Speaker 1: ex fact he's still doing it is pretty impressive because
- 2:41Speaker 1: not many people could do what he's done.
- 2:44Speaker 3: No, I mean I think he's been in the bigs
- 2:45Speaker 3: now for a decade plus, right.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, he came up in twenty fourteen.
- 2:50Speaker 3: So twelve years twelve year pro anyway, respect, we'll have
- 2:55Speaker 3: to get him back on the show again soon. Let's
- 2:57Speaker 3: charge busy weekend, just charging about Dodgers take two out
- 3:04Speaker 3: of three from the Yankees. Do you know that Friday
- 3:07Speaker 3: was the first time the Dodgers were underdogs I think
- 3:11Speaker 3: at home? Yep, first time all season they were underdogs
- 3:13Speaker 3: at home because they were taken on free. They still won.
- 3:17Speaker 3: That was a good game on Friday. And then yes,
- 3:20Speaker 3: Saturday was not a good game. Eighteen to two Dodgers
- 3:25Speaker 3: gets good for Dodger fans. And then Sunday Ay baseball
- 3:28Speaker 3: Yanks win seven three.
- 3:29Speaker 1: Well, I'd be lying if I said I watched one
- 3:31Speaker 1: second of these three games.
- 3:32Speaker 3: You didn't watch any of them.
- 3:33Speaker 1: I was watching college baseball weekend, dude, forgetting I was not.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I was not. I had to squeeze play on. I
- 3:43Speaker 1: had the other game. I listened. I did not watch.
- 3:45Speaker 1: When I saw the highlights, I saw the college baseball highlights.
- 3:50Speaker 4: All right, No, I'll tell you.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, Scotty, I'll tell you what I took
- 3:53Speaker 2: away from it if you want me to, because I
- 3:54Speaker 2: did watch.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll take.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Your takeaway since I mean I definitely watched more of
- 3:59Speaker 3: one game and you guys watched the ball three combined.
- 4:03Speaker 4: No, no, I actually watched. I probably watched seven innings
- 4:06Speaker 4: of every game of Oh.
- 4:09Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I watch every game and is hot as
- 4:12Speaker 2: The Yankees were as good as they've looked this season,
- 4:15Speaker 2: and I still don't won't take anything away from them.
- 4:17Speaker 4: But what I took away after this season, after this
- 4:22Speaker 4: series was over, is that the.
- 4:23Speaker 2: One thing that the Yankees or any team is gonna
- 4:26Speaker 2: need to beat the Dodgers is a full staff. I mean,
- 4:29Speaker 2: you think about the Dodgers having you know, fourteen plus
- 4:33Speaker 2: guys on IL right now, and their lineup is still
- 4:36Speaker 2: incredibly formidable. They just have professional at bats up and
- 4:39Speaker 2: down the lineup. They stress you out, especially when you
- 4:42Speaker 2: don't have that depth and the starting rotation or in
- 4:45Speaker 2: your bullpen.
- 4:46Speaker 4: And for me, when you look at the guys that
- 4:48Speaker 4: will be getting healthy.
- 4:50Speaker 2: It just says you're gonna need a full slay, a
- 4:52Speaker 2: full loaded, healthy rotation to beat this team. And as
- 4:56Speaker 2: good as the Yankees have been playing, it makes me wonder,
- 4:59Speaker 2: you know, when it comes October, I'm starting to wonder
- 5:02Speaker 2: who can beat the Dodgers with their rotation And it's
- 5:04Speaker 2: only one team kind of right now sticking out of
- 5:06Speaker 2: my mind, and we'll see how it goes moving forward.
- 5:08Speaker 2: But uh, the Dodgers is just so deep and you
- 5:11Speaker 2: and you go out and you realize now why they
- 5:14Speaker 2: went out and acquired all of those extra pieces. At
- 5:17Speaker 2: times we wonder where we're gonna they're gonna use them,
- 5:19Speaker 2: But now you see how it's gonna shake out, and
- 5:21Speaker 2: they just they're so deep.
- 5:22Speaker 4: It's gonna be hard for any team to be able
- 5:25Speaker 4: to withstand that in the series.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Who's the team that you're talking about?
- 5:31Speaker 4: AJ?
- 5:31Speaker 2: I don't know if AJ wants to hear this, but
- 5:33Speaker 2: right now I'm gonna say if they if they're able
- 5:36Speaker 2: to make him move, I think they still need a
- 5:38Speaker 2: bad The Seattle Mariners. Man, with the way that they're
- 5:41Speaker 2: swinging the bad they have started, they started to embrace
- 5:44Speaker 2: where they play right and have a gap to gap
- 5:47Speaker 2: approach and take the homer when they get it. Cal Rally,
- 5:50Speaker 2: the big Dumper has been providing all the power that
- 5:52Speaker 2: they need. But I think they still need that bad.
- 5:54Speaker 2: But when you look at just from a rotation standpoint,
- 5:57Speaker 2: a team that could go out in there and actually compete,
- 6:00Speaker 2: you know, come October, I think the Seattle manners man,
- 6:03Speaker 2: I think they're starting to find the real identity and
- 6:05Speaker 2: trust you know, what they do offensively, and if they
- 6:07Speaker 2: can add maybe one more bat, I think they're gonna
- 6:10Speaker 2: be tough to beat in the series.
- 6:13Speaker 1: No, I thought you were gonna say the Tigers. Tigers.
- 6:17Speaker 1: That's my others. The Mariners know the Mariners.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Listen, Yeah, the Tigers are the d Backs of the
- 6:25Speaker 4: American League. I totally agree, But.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I didn't say But I didn't say the Tigers because
- 6:32Speaker 2: they're already up there. For me, I just mean a
- 6:34Speaker 2: team that nobody's thinking about that could have a chance.
- 6:36Speaker 2: I agree with you on hundred percent, but I mean
- 6:38Speaker 2: the team that, even with the weather playing nobody can
- 6:41Speaker 2: see happening.
- 6:42Speaker 4: I just still think that rotation is that good.
- 6:44Speaker 2: But I agree the Tigers are still my favorites in
- 6:46Speaker 2: the American League right now.
- 6:47Speaker 4: I agree, disagreement.
- 6:52Speaker 1: No, here's here's the problem with the Mariners, though their
- 6:54Speaker 1: their their rotation is kind of beat up from all
- 6:56Speaker 1: the innings they threw last year. And they really have
- 6:58Speaker 1: one guy swinging the bass, Kyle Rawley right now and
- 7:01Speaker 1: cal Rawley. Listen, I know what Aaron Judge is doing,
- 7:03Speaker 1: but for the defense and what Cal Rawly brings the mirrors.
- 7:06Speaker 1: He's gotta be in the MVP conversation and got left
- 7:09Speaker 1: when I said I would take him him in my
- 7:11Speaker 1: top three players in baseball. You guys all left you
- 7:13Speaker 1: and crats, but I didn't listen. He's there, he platinum
- 7:16Speaker 1: globe right there in the league, lead for home runs,
- 7:20Speaker 1: catches every day, catches every day, like every single day
- 7:23Speaker 1: now only more than likely. Yes, I mean, but here
- 7:28Speaker 1: here's the thing about the Yankees. Here's what I here's
- 7:30Speaker 1: my takeaway from the series. And I didn't watch it,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I admit it, but I did see the highlights and
- 7:34Speaker 1: I did look at the box scores every morning. First
- 7:36Speaker 1: of all, the first time Free got roughed up. He
- 7:38Speaker 1: got roughed up. Team that has faced him a few times,
- 7:40Speaker 1: they roughed him up. Okay, show Hey, two homers, big deal,
- 7:43Speaker 1: you know, left on left obviously, Judge and Otani hitting
- 7:46Speaker 1: homers in the same inning kind of cool, first time
- 7:48Speaker 1: it ever happened. Cool. Okay, second game is a wash.
- 7:51Speaker 1: But Will Warren ain't the answer for the Yankees, so
- 7:52Speaker 1: they're gonna have to find another starts. He's not gonna
- 7:55Speaker 1: make it. I'm sorry, Well you're I'm sure you're a
- 7:57Speaker 1: fabulous fellow, but.
- 7:59Speaker 3: Stop Strumman's coming back.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Okay, maybe maybe he's the answer. I don't know, but
- 8:03Speaker 1: they're gonna have to find a starting pitcher. And Kik
- 8:05Speaker 1: pitching is always fun yeah versus Pablo Reyis is pretty awesome.
- 8:09Speaker 1: Dalton rushing by the way, first homere off of position
- 8:12Speaker 1: player is kind of funny. Hit his home kind of funny.
- 8:16Speaker 1: And then last but not least, the game last night,
- 8:18Speaker 1: first time Yamamotos really got roughed up, Like the Yankees
- 8:21Speaker 1: roughed him up a little bit. I hadn't seen that
- 8:23Speaker 1: out out of anybody.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Hit the one bad start against the diamondback yeah, but
- 8:27Speaker 3: I mean this was.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Like, this was this was this was one of those
- 8:30Speaker 1: where you're like, okay, is he human? Because he had
- 8:32Speaker 1: been so good the whole year. So listen, the Dodgers
- 8:35Speaker 1: beat the Yankees two out of three. At least they're
- 8:37Speaker 1: not having parties and telling everyone that we knew they
- 8:39Speaker 1: were gonna beat the Yankees. But uh, I don't know.
- 8:42Speaker 1: It's may, it's soon second. I mean, can we really
- 8:45Speaker 1: take a lot of it because these teams are gonna
- 8:46Speaker 1: be different when they get to the Postseasonokie bets, By
- 8:50Speaker 1: the way, that's a big deal. He stubbed his toe
- 8:51Speaker 1: and broke his toe. Yeah, how do you do that?
- 8:55Speaker 3: It's the one next to the big toast, the second toe,
- 8:58Speaker 3: So apparently you can.
- 8:58Speaker 1: I've done again.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Yeah, I've done getting out of the shower.
- 9:02Speaker 3: You've done.
- 9:02Speaker 2: It happened getting out the shower. I got the shower,
- 9:05Speaker 2: had like a little leg you have to step over,
- 9:07Speaker 2: and I got on the way out.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Yeah, broken toe, it happens. Happens. Everybody's not as agile
- 9:13Speaker 4: as you.
- 9:13Speaker 1: Aj How how long were you out for with a
- 9:16Speaker 1: broken toe?
- 9:17Speaker 4: I wasn't out though. He just played through it. I
- 9:19Speaker 4: mean that was me. I didn't have mookie best money,
- 9:22Speaker 4: so I had.
- 9:23Speaker 1: You had.
- 9:23Speaker 4: I had to grind through it, so.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Yeah, you had.
- 9:27Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. There's one thing I mean. I
- 9:29Speaker 1: love Moki. I know Mookie forever since he first came up.
- 9:32Speaker 1: People people are still amazed. They were like, man, you
- 9:34Speaker 1: were Mooki's first RBI. I was like, no kidding, I
- 9:37Speaker 1: played with Mookie when he first came up. Okay, but man,
- 9:41Speaker 1: if you're a Mookie betch, you gotta make up a
- 9:42Speaker 1: better story, like a shower whatever he did, I don't know,
- 9:47Speaker 1: something like I was playing kickball my kids or something like,
- 9:50Speaker 1: I don't know something. But he's too aletic to stub
- 9:54Speaker 1: his toe and break his toe.
- 9:56Speaker 2: He needs Uncle Rico's story. I kicked the kickball clear
- 9:59Speaker 2: across those mountains.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, something like that.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Your Mookie bets his was he stubbed it on some
- 10:05Speaker 3: furniture walking to the bathroom in the dark.
- 10:08Speaker 1: You know what. Okay, funny story. So and I'm in
- 10:11Speaker 1: a lot of hotels, like cam I'm in I see
- 10:13Speaker 1: in a lot of hotels, So I wear my trusty
- 10:15Speaker 1: Nixon watch right here and see it a hundred bucks
- 10:18Speaker 1: And was like why do you sleep in your watch?
- 10:19Speaker 1: Because when I wake up in the middle of the
- 10:21Speaker 1: night and I gotta go to the bathroom and has
- 10:22Speaker 1: an led light that I go like this and it
- 10:25Speaker 1: shows me what had to walk, so I don't stub
- 10:28Speaker 1: my toes. So Mookie, invest in a watch. It has
- 10:30Speaker 1: a light on it.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Not just to watch a Nixon. Shout out, not those.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Not those damn Rolexes and all that stuff. You'd be
- 10:36Speaker 1: watching the Fatiques and the Richard Meals and all those
- 10:40Speaker 1: like they don't have lights. But this little Nixon that's
- 10:42Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. It gets me to the bathroom when
- 10:44Speaker 1: I need to go to the bathroom in the middle
- 10:45Speaker 1: of the night. Doesn't wake anybody.
- 10:47Speaker 3: Yep. So yes, you're right, we will see totally different
- 10:50Speaker 3: looking teams, or at least somewhat different looking teams when
- 10:53Speaker 3: we get later in the year. I mean, you would
- 10:54Speaker 3: think one of, if not both, of Snelling Glass now
- 10:57Speaker 3: could be pitching late in the season for the Dodgers
- 10:59Speaker 3: if they eventually get themselves back on track. My other
- 11:02Speaker 3: thing that also holds true, I think still is that
- 11:06Speaker 3: the National League is far superior to the American League.
- 11:10Speaker 3: I think the Tigers might the Tigers and the Yankees.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Sure, Tigers and Yankees have separated themselves from the whole
- 11:16Speaker 1: American League.
- 11:17Speaker 3: I agree. And then then you go to the National
- 11:19Speaker 3: League and you're like, there's teams that can I think
- 11:23Speaker 3: play ball with the Dodgers, right, I think the Padras,
- 11:26Speaker 3: I think the Mets. I think the Phillies if they
- 11:29Speaker 3: fix the bullpen a little bit. I think there's quite
- 11:31Speaker 3: a few teams, three or four teams in the National
- 11:32Speaker 3: League that can put up a pretty damn good fight
- 11:35Speaker 3: and you could make a case that they're better than
- 11:37Speaker 3: the Tigers and the Yankees. So this was a good
- 11:39Speaker 3: litmus test. But with the Yankees using I mean they're
- 11:42Speaker 3: twenty twenty five ACE on Friday, they still lost that game.
- 11:45Speaker 3: To me, that was like the big one.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Yeah, of course.
- 11:48Speaker 2: And also to the Yankees again, well where's were they
- 11:52Speaker 2: still wait for the homer before yesterday?
- 11:54Speaker 4: All the runs via homer.
- 11:57Speaker 3: That's a good call. Yeah, it is a run.
- 11:59Speaker 4: Relat it is still even now.
- 12:04Speaker 3: FT fan by now you know, if you're buying, selling,
- 12:07Speaker 3: trading collecting cards, Arena Club is the spot. We've been
- 12:11Speaker 3: talking about them all season long. But I do want
- 12:13Speaker 3: to focus on the slab pack experience crats. Since you've
- 12:17Speaker 3: been ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens.
- 12:21Speaker 1: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open
- 12:22Speaker 1: the packs. How can they do this digitally?
- 12:25Speaker 5: Oh baby, this is exciting how the graphics come out
- 12:28Speaker 5: and everything. And oh yeah, the card that you pull
- 12:31Speaker 5: you can actually get that John physically, so it's perfect.
- 12:35Speaker 5: It's all in one place and it's a super exciting experience.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Yeah, they send that to you from the vault if
- 12:41Speaker 3: you want it. But if you look at it and
- 12:42Speaker 3: you're like, it's not the card for me, I want
- 12:45Speaker 3: to sell back.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Go for it.

- 13:00Speaker 3: dot com slash foul and use code foul, rinaclub dot
- 13:02Speaker 3: com slash foul, use code foul. Little board of the
- 13:05Speaker 3: lowest dras after the first twelve starts of the season.
- 13:08Speaker 3: In Astro's history, they've had some good ones. Justin Verlander
- 13:11Speaker 3: one one one, Nolan Ryan won three eight among others.
- 13:15Speaker 3: But you go a little further down and number six
- 13:18Speaker 3: on this list is Hunter Brown. He has a one
- 13:20Speaker 3: eight three earned on average.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I said it. I've been saying it for a while now,
- 13:25Speaker 1: Dark Horse Cy Young Award candidate. If you watch this
- 13:28Speaker 1: dude pitch the best part about the Hunter Brown story.
- 13:31Speaker 1: He's completely changed the way he throws. I mean, he
- 13:34Speaker 1: was a Justin Verlander clone and he went to the
- 13:36Speaker 1: sinkers and is now just dirty. Nobody can elevate him,
- 13:40Speaker 1: nobody can get him in the air. He punches out
- 13:42Speaker 1: the world. This dude is good.
- 13:44Speaker 3: He's got a better era than Trek Scougle right now. Cam, Yeah, you.
- 13:48Speaker 4: Know, I'm with aj.
- 13:49Speaker 2: I love the fact that he was willing to make
- 13:52Speaker 2: an adjustment because he was. I remember they were talking
- 13:55Speaker 2: about him being the next Justin Berlander, and when you
- 13:57Speaker 2: hear that, it's easy to buy in trying to be
- 14:00Speaker 2: that clone. So I love that he said, you know what, Actually,
- 14:03Speaker 2: I'm willing to try something different and it's working for him.
- 14:05Speaker 4: And listen, when this broke, don't fix it.
- 14:07Speaker 2: He's showing how dominant he really is right now, and
- 14:10Speaker 2: the numbers do not lie. He has been one of
- 14:13Speaker 2: the bright spots for the Houston Astros as they start
- 14:16Speaker 2: to try to play a little bit better baseball.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 3: By the way, the Astros have won six of eight.
- 14:22Speaker 3: They're a half game back from the Seattle They're thirty
- 14:24Speaker 3: two and twenty seven. Ramber had a complete game the
- 14:27Speaker 3: other day. What eighty something pitches. I mean, they're still
- 14:30Speaker 3: damn good. We're gonna talk about one of their prospect
- 14:33Speaker 3: call ups later with Jonathan Mayo. It's a good team.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, they're no two days to getting hot. They're
- 14:39Speaker 1: for getting over us bad Painia, Yeah out yeah.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Painia is swinging the bat better, probably the best stretch
- 14:44Speaker 2: he's had. He's not chasing as much as he nearly
- 14:47Speaker 2: as much as he has in the pass. So you know,
- 14:49Speaker 2: they still find they're still finding ways to win. And
- 14:51Speaker 2: I think that goes back to AJ's point against me
- 14:54Speaker 2: talking about Seattle. When you look at Seattle and you
- 14:58Speaker 2: look at right now, for that to still just be
- 15:01Speaker 2: that close to Seattle in this division, I think that's
- 15:04Speaker 2: what AJ's talking about, that lack of offense still out
- 15:07Speaker 2: there in Seattle.
- 15:17Speaker 3: It's better than box scores. Let's get caught up on
- 15:20Speaker 3: a series sweep from the weekend with two playoff contenders,
- 15:24Speaker 3: the Brewers swept the Phillies. The Brewers have won seven
- 15:27Speaker 3: games in a row. The Phillies have dropped four straight.
- 15:31Speaker 3: What'd you take out of this one?
- 15:33Speaker 1: That the Phillies are in a rough patch right now
- 15:35Speaker 1: and Brewers are playing well. And the krats was crying
- 15:38Speaker 1: because he didn't know who to root for teams and
- 15:41Speaker 1: he's not here today. I mean, I don't know who
- 15:43Speaker 1: he was. Who was he rooting for? Crying?
- 15:48Speaker 3: Yeah, then he was crying. I mean, the Phillies are
- 15:50Speaker 3: gonna be okay.
- 15:50Speaker 1: The Phillies are going to be fine. I mean, you know,
- 15:52Speaker 1: the first sweep since you know, twenty fifteen, I mean whatever.
- 15:56Speaker 1: I mean they played one series or year.
- 15:57Speaker 3: So first we've in Phillies by the Brewers since whatever.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I mean whatever. It's not like this is like, you know,
- 16:02Speaker 1: haven't played there, but whatever, Listen, the Brewers are playing better.
- 16:06Speaker 1: I don't know the Brewers can maintain this because it's
- 16:08Speaker 1: just I don't know if they're that good. The Phillies
- 16:10Speaker 1: are gonna be fine. Everyone goes through a lull. It happens.
- 16:13Speaker 1: They remember how hot the Phillies were two weeks ago,
- 16:16Speaker 1: a week ago, and now we're like, oh no, late,
- 16:18Speaker 1: world is falling on the Phillies. It's not. They're gonna
- 16:21Speaker 1: be fun. They're gonna be just fun.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Yeah, and they've still got pitching depth.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Cam.
- 16:24Speaker 3: The thing that stands out to me is Mick Abel
- 16:27Speaker 3: made his debut then they optioned him. Right. It was
- 16:29Speaker 3: six shout out innings, nine strikeouts. He's been a big
- 16:31Speaker 3: deal prospect for them. It seems like he's harnessed the
- 16:34Speaker 3: control now dominating in the minors. He's called back up
- 16:37Speaker 3: might be for good. He's gonna pitch on Tuesday Taiwan.
- 16:40Speaker 3: Walker might have his stuff play up in a one
- 16:42Speaker 3: inning role for them out of the bullpen. He's got
- 16:45Speaker 3: kind of a newer slider. He thinks his stuff's gonna
- 16:47Speaker 3: play up well, so they pushed him to the bullpen.
- 16:50Speaker 3: That was news from this weekend.
- 16:51Speaker 4: I like it, well, listen, I like it.
- 16:54Speaker 2: I think the Phillies are also in a spot where
- 16:57Speaker 2: they have to try something, right. When you look at
- 16:59Speaker 2: Alvarado getting suspended, you look at some of what they went.
- 17:03Speaker 4: Through, and Tyler Walker also trying to keep him healthy.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Right, So I think this covers a lot of different,
- 17:09Speaker 2: you know, avenues for the Phillies.
- 17:10Speaker 4: You know, you get a chance to make him you know.
- 17:13Speaker 2: He can give you length for that bullpen, and you
- 17:16Speaker 2: also can have a chance to keep him healthy. But
- 17:18Speaker 2: for me, this series is just another reason for me
- 17:21Speaker 2: to shine light on Pat Murphy.
- 17:22Speaker 4: You know, I'm with aj.
- 17:24Speaker 2: I don't really know how good I believe the Brewers are,
- 17:26Speaker 2: but it says a lot about a manager who can
- 17:29Speaker 2: get guys to play hard and play competitive baseball day
- 17:33Speaker 2: and day out, whether you have the pieces or not.
- 17:35Speaker 4: This is what the Phillies go through every year. We
- 17:37Speaker 4: see this every year for the Phillies.
- 17:39Speaker 2: A hot start and they hit a little stretch and
- 17:41Speaker 2: at the end, at the end of the day, come October,
- 17:43Speaker 2: they're going to be right there in the mix.
- 17:45Speaker 4: So this is what we see from the Phillies.
- 17:47Speaker 2: But for me, I think it's just another reason to
- 17:49Speaker 2: continue to give Pat Murphy credit. He knows how to
- 17:52Speaker 2: lead man, and he's getting the best out of the
- 17:54Speaker 2: out of a Brewers team that I think is overachieving
- 17:56Speaker 2: right now.
- 17:57Speaker 3: By the way, what happened to Hazuslids over the weekend?
- 18:01Speaker 1: And why do you said he had a bad inding.
- 18:03Speaker 3: But but why do you allow him to give up
- 18:05Speaker 3: eight runs in the fourth Topper got booted from that game,
- 18:09Speaker 3: so he was out in that fourth inning.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Nobody. I don't really think that a manager, just because
- 18:15Speaker 1: they get objective isn't still pulling the strengths behind the scenes.
- 18:18Speaker 3: So you think the communication line is just as good
- 18:20Speaker 3: that he can.
- 18:21Speaker 1: He's good. Trust me. There's clubhouse guys that can run
- 18:23Speaker 1: back and forth. There's a phone they can pick up.
- 18:25Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of ways to trust me,
- 18:27Speaker 1: bat boys, clubhouse guys, people on the bench, pr people.
- 18:32Speaker 1: I mean, there's trusty. There's people that can get the
- 18:35Speaker 1: point to what they need to do. I mean, it's
- 18:38Speaker 1: not like they just go and hide in a in
- 18:40Speaker 1: a padded room where they have no communication.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Joe Madden used to make it like he goes to
- 18:45Speaker 3: his office and then gets a bottle of wine, which
- 18:48Speaker 3: is fun going to have a beer.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Toppers Canadian. He probably went in there,
- 18:53Speaker 1: had a Mulson.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Right, But why is Lazardo getting twelver and runs.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Well, it wasn't because he came well, he came out and.
- 18:59Speaker 3: Then right there were more out.
- 19:01Speaker 1: It was more Yes, I mean they all scored.
- 19:04Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
- 19:06Speaker 4: Runs bad, some bad looking on the runs inherited.
- 19:10Speaker 3: So he said his arm felt the best it had
- 19:15Speaker 3: in a month and a half. And obviously the Brewers
- 19:18Speaker 3: got to him. Also, brewis just a hot team. Reese
- 19:20Speaker 3: Hoskins with some whatever you want to call it, extra
- 19:23Speaker 3: emotions had two three run homers in that game.
- 19:27Speaker 1: So just a good series for a great series. Yeah,
- 19:30Speaker 1: and before the series, I remember watching the Phillies game
- 19:33Speaker 1: and the announcers for Phillies were like, Ree Hoskins would
- 19:36Speaker 1: look really good in the Phillies uniform, and you're like, well,
- 19:39Speaker 1: the Brewer's got to fall out of it first, but yeah,
- 19:41Speaker 1: of course recould look at the Phillies uniform, especially if
- 19:43Speaker 1: swing it. Because he's had a good year this.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Year, much better so last year, just for time purposes,
- 19:49Speaker 3: one hundred ops plus so League average hitter. This year
- 19:52Speaker 3: he's at one thirty three through the first couple of months.
- 19:54Speaker 3: Strike k's are down. Yeah, he made some tweaks and
- 19:57Speaker 3: they're working for him right now, so that helped. I mean,
- 20:00Speaker 3: the Brewers need him more than the Phillies need him
- 20:02Speaker 3: right now.
- 20:03Speaker 1: They wear an elbow guard.
- 20:05Speaker 3: He's supposed to be back Tuesday.
- 20:07Speaker 1: Were a week.
- 20:10Speaker 3: It's costly, all right, We're back a couple injury updates.
- 20:15Speaker 3: We're not gonna have time for everything, so we'll we'll
- 20:18Speaker 3: touch on some Yankee stuff here. Jason Dominguez having difficulty
- 20:21Speaker 3: grabbing a bat cam after he hurt his thumb on
- 20:23Speaker 3: a fifth inning slide. He's gonna have tests. He said,
- 20:25Speaker 3: he's gonna consider wearing two sliding mits this place to
- 20:28Speaker 3: AJ's theory of the more armor the better. And then
- 20:32Speaker 3: also Luke Weaver was not able to pitch. He had
- 20:34Speaker 3: a hamstring discomfort, getting some treatment, so we'll get more info,
- 20:38Speaker 3: they said after their Monday off day. Yanks will be okay.
- 20:42Speaker 3: I wouldn't be too concerned about either of these, especially obviously,
- 20:45Speaker 3: you don't want to pitch a hurt. But if it's
- 20:47Speaker 3: a hamstring, that's much better than elbow, shoulder, et cetera.
- 20:52Speaker 1: No, No, Domenico's to me is the one. He so
- 20:55Speaker 1: he heard it. He has a sliding mit on his
- 20:57Speaker 1: right hand, but he slides into second with his left hand.
- 21:01Speaker 1: What are we doing, hey, Joe? Anything one on the
- 21:04Speaker 1: right aid for show cam. It's all for joke. It's
- 21:07Speaker 1: all for shows. Oh my god, thank you, thank you,
- 21:10Speaker 1: aj thank you.
- 21:12Speaker 2: This has been the one thing that's been driving me
- 21:14Speaker 2: crazy about this damn sliding min for the last few years. Listen,
- 21:18Speaker 2: I get it right. You go back into the bag,
- 21:21Speaker 2: you know, with your right hand. But when you're stealing
- 21:23Speaker 2: your bag second or third, if you're a head first stealer,
- 21:27Speaker 2: you go.
- 21:27Speaker 4: Back in with your left hand. Why are we not
- 21:30Speaker 4: putting the mit on the left hand?
- 21:33Speaker 1: Make it make sense?
- 21:34Speaker 2: Or just like you said jokingly, he he ha ha,
- 21:38Speaker 2: put two mits on.
- 21:39Speaker 4: It makes no sense.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Like you said, the right one is for show. And
- 21:42Speaker 2: I'm so glad you said it. This is the one
- 21:44Speaker 2: thing that's been pissing me off for years. Put the
- 21:46Speaker 2: sliding min on the left hand. Base stealers, what are
- 21:50Speaker 2: we doing?
- 21:54Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't get it.
- 21:55Speaker 1: I don't I ain't steal bases. But I'm the first
- 21:58Speaker 1: dude I ever remember wearing one of these things with Scott,
- 22:00Speaker 1: said Nick. And his was like six inches long, was he? Yeah?
- 22:03Speaker 1: I had he had like this on his hand. It
- 22:06Speaker 1: was like this and it was like a cast and that. Yeah,
- 22:12Speaker 1: but his literally was like he had his book on
- 22:14Speaker 1: his hand.
- 22:14Speaker 3: It was like this right, which is a huge advantage.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Hell yeah, but yeah, they made it to where they
- 22:19Speaker 1: could only be a certain length. But if you're as base,
- 22:21Speaker 1: you don't need it on your right hand unless you,
- 22:24Speaker 1: I guess slide feet first, because ice to slide feet.
- 22:28Speaker 1: But you do it for your thumb. I always thought
- 22:30Speaker 1: it was to protect your fingers and your thumb. But
- 22:32Speaker 1: you're not gonna slide in this This hand never touches
- 22:35Speaker 1: the base. The base is always over here because you
- 22:37Speaker 1: always were like Nascar, we always turn left right, so
- 22:40Speaker 1: we always go left. So this hand is the one
- 22:42Speaker 1: that you're gonna slide into. So you would want it
- 22:44Speaker 1: on this hand. Why we got it on this hand? Stupid?
- 22:47Speaker 3: So then we need him on both hands or pick your.
- 22:49Speaker 1: Left has on Kim and we talked about he has
- 22:52Speaker 1: them on both Yeah, Scott, you need to check out
- 22:56Speaker 1: this Roe back hoodie I have. It's eighty five plus
- 22:58Speaker 1: degrees here in Florida. Look lightweight, feels great, cool colors
- 23:03Speaker 1: perfect for those hot Florida days.
- 23:05Speaker 3: I agree. Aj color looks fire and you can get

- 23:35Speaker 1: I mean the os are hot, now, yeah, they're hot.
- 23:37Speaker 1: You want to get hot and you play the Rockies
- 23:39Speaker 1: in the White Sox.
- 23:40Speaker 3: That's right, they're still what fifteen games on there, They're
- 23:42Speaker 3: going to be really fun to talk about. Come trade
- 23:44Speaker 3: deadline time to see who they're selling. But Kobe Meyo
- 23:47Speaker 3: actually registered his first RBI in the major leagues, right.
- 23:51Speaker 3: He's gotten up and down time with the team over
- 23:53Speaker 3: the last couple of years. But the controversy comes when
- 23:56Speaker 3: he tries to create a little obstruction by flop and
- 24:00Speaker 3: then the White Socks were pissed, and then eventually he
- 24:02Speaker 3: gives them a little shoved. So, ah, tell me what
- 24:05Speaker 3: you saw here, because we don't get flopping in baseball
- 24:07Speaker 3: very often. But this was some performance.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Okay. So what they tell you as a base runner
- 24:11Speaker 1: is find somebody you can run into, because it'll get
- 24:15Speaker 1: you out of the gym. I've done this before. I
- 24:16Speaker 1: did this once against the Rays and Joe Madden got ejected.
- 24:20Speaker 1: I didn't go. I didn't make it that obvious. You
- 24:22Speaker 1: got to make it a little less obvious than trying
- 24:24Speaker 1: to dive and tackle the guy. Like just get near
- 24:27Speaker 1: a guy and fall down and they'll call instructure. You
- 24:29Speaker 1: get the next big right, but what he did, listen,
- 24:32Speaker 1: I got no reason. I got no beef at all
- 24:35Speaker 1: with White Sox being mad because what Kobe Mayo did
- 24:37Speaker 1: right there was bad, Like that was bad bad. It
- 24:40Speaker 1: was just too obvious. You can't make it that like
- 24:42Speaker 1: if he got near you just kind of fall down
- 24:44Speaker 1: and be like, oh he touched my arm. It's all
- 24:45Speaker 1: you gotta do, and you get the next pace. Asked,
- 24:47Speaker 1: if you haven't seen in two thousand and eight, google
- 24:49Speaker 1: what I did to the Rays and Doug Eddings my
- 24:52Speaker 1: guy and gumpiring Joe Madden the conversation they had. But
- 24:57Speaker 1: this is what you're taught to do. Get in a rundown,
- 24:59Speaker 1: you look for somebody gets too close to you, and
- 25:01Speaker 1: you get close to him and fall down and you
- 25:03Speaker 1: get out of it and you get the next space
- 25:04Speaker 1: because it's obstruction, interference whatever.
- 25:06Speaker 3: They like they don't have the ball.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Yes and so yes, but what he did he like
- 25:11Speaker 1: solve Sosa and he like dove at him. He's like, ah,
- 25:14Speaker 1: let me grab this guy. And oh, it's like the
- 25:16Speaker 1: guy in the fight. There's certain guys that were in
- 25:18Speaker 1: baseball fights. Oh hold me back, hey, mister umpire, hold
- 25:21Speaker 1: me back so I can't go get the picture. But
- 25:23Speaker 1: you're not really holding me back. I don't act like
- 25:25Speaker 1: you're holding like you can't dive at the guy and
- 25:27Speaker 1: then have the.
- 25:29Speaker 4: Whatever.
- 25:29Speaker 1: It was bad, It was all about nothing. But the
- 25:31Speaker 1: best is I love when the relievers have to run in,
- 25:33Speaker 1: especially in Baltimore because they come through the same gate,
- 25:36Speaker 1: so the Orioles have to go first and the White
- 25:38Speaker 1: Sox have to wait for him. I say, if you
- 25:40Speaker 1: want to fight, we just have a cage match in
- 25:43Speaker 1: the bullpen. Like did White Sox have the high ground
- 25:45Speaker 1: in Candy Yards, Like they can have guys coming off
- 25:47Speaker 1: the top rope at the elbows. Now we're talking.
- 25:50Speaker 3: That would sell. That would make that series much more interesting.
- 25:54Speaker 4: Oh man, that's so good.
- 25:55Speaker 2: Yeah right right though, bad execution by Kebbe Mayow listen.
- 25:59Speaker 4: I thought it was just I thought he was going
- 26:00Speaker 4: to turn around and just wrap him up.
- 26:02Speaker 2: I know, football season's coming, OTAs and things have started.
- 26:05Speaker 2: I thought, I'm like, just go for the wrap up
- 26:07Speaker 2: and scoop them up and just drop them like whatnot.
- 26:09Speaker 2: But I'm with aj. He had the right idea, just
- 26:13Speaker 2: poor execution. So I'm sure listen the White Sox and Orioles,
- 26:19Speaker 2: they're all pissed off about a lot of things right now.
- 26:21Speaker 2: So that was just a little bit of bowling frustrations
- 26:24Speaker 2: from both sides bowling over. So that's what we got
- 26:27Speaker 2: right there. Two pissed off organizations right now.
- 26:30Speaker 3: All right, Next up to organizations with the little pettiness.
- 26:34Speaker 3: This tweet from Mark Bowming. No music played for Red
- 26:39Speaker 3: Sox BP over the weekend. It was something that the
- 26:41Speaker 3: Braves players requested after they took BP without any music
- 26:46Speaker 3: playing at Fenway two weeks ago. Cam have you seen
- 26:49Speaker 3: this before?
- 26:51Speaker 4: Absolutely?
- 26:52Speaker 2: I've been at Fenway, you know, as a Yankee, and
- 26:55Speaker 2: we've taken DP and everybody's at the Turtle and they're
- 26:59Speaker 2: looking back, you know usually kind of you don't really
- 27:02Speaker 2: know where the audio is, but you know where the
- 27:03Speaker 2: box office, you know the skybox is, and you know
- 27:06Speaker 2: where all the media people are. You're trying to get
- 27:09Speaker 2: their attention to turn some music on, So listen. I've
- 27:12Speaker 2: seen it before. I know AJ probably has as well.
- 27:14Speaker 2: If this is these aren't the only teams that have
- 27:17Speaker 2: done it. Hey, it's gaming ship, right, I'm not supposed
- 27:20Speaker 2: to make everything comfortable comfortable for you when you come
- 27:22Speaker 2: to my home, right, I'm gonna make it a little
- 27:24Speaker 2: bit uncomfortable. I'm gonna make do things that you may
- 27:27Speaker 2: not like and see if I can get them to
- 27:28Speaker 2: your skin.
- 27:29Speaker 4: They clearly got into the.
- 27:30Speaker 2: Brave skin with it, and then the Braves clearly got
- 27:33Speaker 2: them in the red sauce skin with it.
- 27:34Speaker 4: So hey, I mean, I don't, I don't know, I don't.
- 27:37Speaker 2: I don't think we should look too much into It's
- 27:39Speaker 2: a part of the gaming ship that happens when you
- 27:42Speaker 2: go from stadium to stadium, and.
- 27:43Speaker 4: Personally, I love it.
- 27:44Speaker 2: I thought it was funny, and then it was one
- 27:46Speaker 2: of those things where we just go, you know what,
- 27:47Speaker 2: We'll just kick their We'll just kick their butts because
- 27:49Speaker 2: they want to be this way.
- 27:50Speaker 4: I think that's the way you handle that situation.
- 27:53Speaker 1: This is so petty, it's awesome. So petty. It's awesome
- 27:56Speaker 1: because all right. So the first time I ever remember
- 27:59Speaker 1: this is even a thing was when we go to
- 28:01Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, the old Yankee Stadium, and they'd run like
- 28:03Speaker 1: a yankeeography of Chris Widger and you're like, what the hell,
- 28:08Speaker 1: like what are we watching? And they make you watch
- 28:09Speaker 1: this during VP instead of music. It'd be literally a
- 28:12Speaker 1: yankeeography on like Luis Soho and you're like, dude, like
- 28:16Speaker 1: come on, like nankey Man, Ol bay Ruth, we get
- 28:18Speaker 1: but they run that right. So then Jason Worth was
- 28:22Speaker 1: the guy when you went to Washington, he would he
- 28:24Speaker 1: would play like classical music to try to put you
- 28:27Speaker 1: to sleep. So we started doing it back to him,
- 28:30Speaker 1: and it was the thing. It was when I was
- 28:31Speaker 1: in Atlanta. In Atlanta, Cam you might have been there,
- 28:34Speaker 1: he did it. We went to Yesse and when they
- 28:36Speaker 1: came back to Atlanta, we're like, all right, well, we're
- 28:38Speaker 1: just not gonna play music. And then we went back
- 28:40Speaker 1: to DC. Guess what we had regular music Because so
- 28:43Speaker 1: like this has happened a lot. It's so petty that
- 28:46Speaker 1: it's awesome. But Jason Worth could play like Mozart because
- 28:49Speaker 1: he's like, oh, it puts him to sleep before the game,
- 28:52Speaker 1: like okay, whatever, dude, you know, it was kind of
- 28:55Speaker 1: a thing, but it's so petty. It's great just because
- 28:58Speaker 1: like the people even I don't even half the time
- 29:00Speaker 1: they even know what music was playing during b I
- 29:04Speaker 1: was out there for the first group and was going side,
- 29:06Speaker 1: But I mean, dude, judges another for four groups better
- 29:09Speaker 1: than me.
- 29:10Speaker 2: And the beauty of it is this is way beyond
- 29:13Speaker 2: the field, right, This is this is like the media
- 29:15Speaker 2: department taking it on their own. Like sometimes like that,
- 29:18Speaker 2: I love Jason Wirth did it, but aj No, sometimes
- 29:21Speaker 2: like this is just like battle of the media departments, right,
- 29:24Speaker 2: Like we're they're just gonna be like, yay, you know what,
- 29:26Speaker 2: We're not giving these guys music. Like I love how
- 29:28Speaker 2: bested the people behind the scenes get. And I think
- 29:31Speaker 2: that's the conversation that people don't realize. It's not always
- 29:33Speaker 2: like the players going, hey, don't play these guys music.
- 29:36Speaker 2: It just might be those guys up up in the
- 29:38Speaker 2: booth going we're not giving them anything.
- 29:41Speaker 4: We're not gonna get it. Let them get any type of.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Vibe, country rock, hip hop, R and B giving sounds
- 29:46Speaker 2: of baseball.
- 29:47Speaker 1: Listen to the ball, hit the bat, that's it.
- 29:49Speaker 3: I love it and you can give it right back.
- 29:52Speaker 3: Like AJ said, Okay, we see how it is. Then
- 29:55Speaker 3: when you come to town, this is how it's gonna be.
- 29:57Speaker 1: And that's what they.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Did to a t I love it. Okay. Next up,
- 30:01Speaker 3: something we've talked about since spring training happened. It might
- 30:05Speaker 3: have happened already, but this is when I caught that
- 30:07Speaker 3: was pretty often the first Okay, good Taylor Walls of
- 30:12Speaker 3: the Rays was booted by homeplate umpire Nick Lentz for
- 30:17Speaker 3: doing a little not so subtle helmet tap when he
- 30:21Speaker 3: did not agree with a strike call. Boom, there it
- 30:24Speaker 3: is and that is a miss. Close, but that is
- 30:27Speaker 3: a miss from Lentz Walls giving it to him and
- 30:30Speaker 3: then tapping his Yeah you know.
- 30:33Speaker 1: What, Listen, this is bad umpiring because it's not like
- 30:36Speaker 1: he did it. He didn't make like a show of it.
- 30:38Speaker 1: He was kind of fixing his helmet and listen, we
- 30:41Speaker 1: all fixed our helmet. I don't know.
- 30:43Speaker 3: I think that's why he did it.
- 30:44Speaker 1: I know why I did it. But it was so
- 30:46Speaker 1: awesome that he shouldn't have been ejected for it. Like
- 30:48Speaker 1: there were like if a guy gives you like a
- 30:52Speaker 1: really good line, you just don't inject him. You laughing,
- 30:54Speaker 1: He'm like that was good, or because he didn't do
- 30:57Speaker 1: it all. It wasn't like he was like I mean,
- 31:00Speaker 1: and he kind of fixed his home and then he
- 31:01Speaker 1: just kind of gave it a little top and the
- 31:03Speaker 1: umpires like what he was a young guy.
- 31:05Speaker 3: So he's because he's got to follow the fraternity rules.
- 31:08Speaker 3: And I guarantee you cam the fraternity rules this year,
- 31:12Speaker 3: or that if a player taps his helmet, you eject him,
- 31:15Speaker 3: and if you don't, all the other umps will know
- 31:17Speaker 3: about it and you will not be invited to whatever
- 31:20Speaker 3: they do.
- 31:20Speaker 4: Altogether, absolutely, aj just said.
- 31:23Speaker 2: The most important thing that goes along with that, Scott
- 31:26Speaker 2: is the umpires are telling a young ump, don't let
- 31:28Speaker 2: any of these guys show you up. So they're already
- 31:31Speaker 2: we call them rabbit ears. They hear every little thing
- 31:33Speaker 2: that comes from the dugout. Anything you say, hey.
- 31:36Speaker 4: Where's that pitch?
- 31:37Speaker 2: That's a good pitch, camer It's like I'm just asking
- 31:39Speaker 2: where that pitch is. Dude, just calm down, Like those
- 31:42Speaker 2: young guys are already on edge. So again you know
- 31:45Speaker 2: they have the better guys going, hey, you had something happens,
- 31:48Speaker 2: Don't let them show you up for a second, you
- 31:50Speaker 2: put your foot down, you let them know who's in charge.
- 31:53Speaker 2: So I think that was a little bit of that.
- 31:54Speaker 2: But again he had to he had to touss them.
- 31:58Speaker 2: But I love it. I love it was smooth and
- 32:00Speaker 2: I'm just surprised this is the first one of the year.
- 32:02Speaker 4: Because we've seen some really.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Bad brutal calls behind a dish and I I appla
- 32:08Speaker 2: Taylor Walls. Hey, you are the first to get it in.
- 32:11Speaker 2: It was pretty subtle, and I thought it was pretty good.
- 32:12Speaker 4: I'm with aj. I thought it was so good he
- 32:14Speaker 4: should have got away with it.
- 32:16Speaker 3: That was history right there. Next up George Springer with
- 32:21Speaker 3: a little hop on third base and a heads up
- 32:25Speaker 3: play leads to replay with Springer out. Now, he had
- 32:29Speaker 3: a nice weekend. He had a two homer game. Was
- 32:32Speaker 3: it the same game or the game before maybe whatever,
- 32:34Speaker 3: He had a nice weekend. So yays, Yeah, the A's
- 32:38Speaker 3: are disaster right now. But they did one thing right.
- 32:42Speaker 3: They got Springer. So I think we've got the hop.
- 32:45Speaker 3: We'll show it to you and then here it is,
- 32:48Speaker 3: So Springer's gonna head to third on this Sallejandro Kirk
- 32:52Speaker 3: smack into left. Here comes Springer won two three hops
- 32:56Speaker 3: and on the third hop, who is that over at third?
- 32:59Speaker 1: I don't have ice to shreaming Schneman. What's his name, Schneman?
- 33:04Speaker 1: I don't know schneaming. I think his name is to.
- 33:07Speaker 3: There it is he caught him in the air, brilliant.
- 33:10Speaker 1: So okay, this, first of all, this is not what
- 33:13Speaker 1: replay is for. This is not what replay is for.
- 33:17Speaker 3: They went to replay if the I'm caught that initially
- 33:20Speaker 3: he can say, I know, but this is not.
- 33:22Speaker 1: What replay is for. Okay, this is what drives me crazy.
- 33:25Speaker 1: The guy slides and he comes like, keep you guys
- 33:26Speaker 1: clearly safe. I get you, you know, but this is
- 33:29Speaker 1: not what replay was originally intended for. It was intended
- 33:31Speaker 1: for by the way, happy anniversary Andreas Scalaraga and Jim
- 33:34Speaker 1: Joyce because today is the day where the perfect game
- 33:36Speaker 1: didn't count and it led to replay, right, which is
- 33:40Speaker 1: not a happy anniversary for certain people, which sucks. But
- 33:45Speaker 1: here's a lesson cam for your team. Don't jump around
- 33:47Speaker 1: and act like a fool until the guy has the
- 33:49Speaker 1: ball not close to you. Okay, so if you're out
- 33:52Speaker 1: there like jump around, act the fool, and do whatever
- 33:54Speaker 1: you want, because listen, I got a kid and the
- 33:56Speaker 1: team did all the the who ha he ha. Whatever. Fine,
- 33:59Speaker 1: you want to have kids, have fun, I'm all for it.
- 34:02Speaker 1: But make sure the guy with the ball ain't standing
- 34:04Speaker 1: right there and can just touch you and call you out.
- 34:05Speaker 1: All right, just look around, have a little bit, wait
- 34:07Speaker 1: a second, and then do the jump around or whatever
- 34:09Speaker 1: you're doing. But this isn't what we play was for.
- 34:13Speaker 1: It happened. It's funny. They still won. They would have
- 34:16Speaker 1: lost by yeah, conversation.
- 34:19Speaker 3: Right, Blue Jays one they swept. They beat the crap
- 34:22Speaker 3: out of the A's this weekend.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Of these are becoming the Rockies.
- 34:27Speaker 3: There are seasons over, just in the last couple of weeks,
- 34:29Speaker 3: their seasons over.
- 34:30Speaker 4: You know, but you know you know what worse? Yeah,
- 34:34Speaker 4: they they placed. Listen.
- 34:36Speaker 2: The difference though, the difference though, whether they believe it
- 34:40Speaker 2: or not, that they're they're telling themselves they believe it.
- 34:43Speaker 2: I truly feel like the A's actually believe they're gonna win.
- 34:46Speaker 2: When they played the Rockies, they know they know it,
- 34:48Speaker 2: so they know what's gonna happen. Like the A's they
- 34:50Speaker 2: play so much harder, right, they really give effort through.
- 34:54Speaker 2: I mean all twenty seven outs, that's the difference. It's bad,
- 34:57Speaker 2: but at least they they're not not fun to watch.
- 35:01Speaker 2: I'd say there's some teams now are much rather not
- 35:04Speaker 2: watch than Oakland Athlete.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Oh then excuse me, the Sacramento Athletics.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just a bad team.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Jacob so team Jacob Song said, they're not that bad.
- 35:13Speaker 1: They're real close to the Rockies and they're they're just
- 35:15Speaker 1: they just need to figure it out. They're going to
- 35:17Speaker 1: turn a corner. I'm like, wait, what, Jacob Song is
- 35:20Speaker 1: their catcher. After they lost their fiftieth game and fifty
- 35:24Speaker 1: nine games, he came out and said, we're not that
- 35:26Speaker 1: far off. We're close. We're like right there.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Oh, James, our brave scene would have smacked the Rockies, Oh,
- 35:35Speaker 2: no doubt.
- 35:35Speaker 1: And we were thinking about that. Think about man, we
- 35:38Speaker 1: were awful. White. The White Sox team last year would
- 35:41Speaker 1: have smacked this team and the White of all time.
- 35:45Speaker 3: Okay, last thing. Because we're not gonna spend a ton
- 35:47Speaker 3: of time on the Rocks. But this is the time
- 35:48Speaker 3: for it.
- 35:48Speaker 1: Why not. They deserve all the attention because they sucked.
- 35:51Speaker 3: So that team this year, can they win more than
- 35:54Speaker 3: ten games at this point. Yes, okay, so this is
- 35:57Speaker 3: a minor league team that we're watching.
- 35:58Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not going to call them that, not going
- 36:00Speaker 1: to say that. But that's if you find the best
- 36:02Speaker 1: Triple A team right now, they could make it. It
- 36:05Speaker 1: would be a run for the money.
- 36:07Speaker 3: Okay, that's very telling.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Because there would be a prospect there'd be a couple
- 36:11Speaker 1: of prospects on the best Triple A team. Pitching wise,
- 36:14Speaker 1: there'd be some hitters that would run into some homers.
- 36:17Speaker 1: It would be it would be interesting if they played
- 36:19Speaker 1: like a seven game series, as you would win.
- 36:22Speaker 3: We're gonna talk to Jonathan.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Am I wrong? Camp? Am I wrong?
- 36:26Speaker 2: I'm laughing because you are so right. That's why I'm laughing,
- 36:30Speaker 2: Like the fact that we're even having this conversation and
- 36:32Speaker 2: that you actually really it's a validity to what you're saying.
- 36:35Speaker 2: It's just comical to me, Like, tell you what the
- 36:37Speaker 2: Rockies are comical at this point.
- 36:39Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll take my I played in
- 36:41Speaker 1: Salt Lake City in two thousand. I'll take my two
- 36:43Speaker 1: thousand Salt Lake City team and we would whoop their ass.
- 36:47Speaker 1: We would whoop their ass, and we had Tory Hunter,
- 36:49Speaker 1: Todd Walker. I mean we had dudes. We had dude
- 36:53Speaker 1: Dudeskavich Me, I mean, our whole team was.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Botting that team.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was an All Star that year, but
- 37:00Speaker 1: we scored like we would. We would play that team
- 37:02Speaker 1: right now, and it would be it might be real
- 37:05Speaker 1: bad for the other teams because we were good good,
- 37:08Speaker 1: We just did. We all just weren't Triple A because
- 37:10Speaker 1: we were all a bunch of assholes. But that was
- 37:13Speaker 1: That's a whole different story. But I mean we had
- 37:15Speaker 1: I think Ourtis came down for a little while on
- 37:16Speaker 1: that team, but Husky was on that team. I mean,
- 37:19Speaker 1: we had a team that was like big. It was
- 37:20Speaker 1: all big leaguers, but we just weren't Triple.
- 37:22Speaker 3: A, right, Yeah, the Twins had a good farm.
- 37:24Speaker 1: So some set up.
- 37:25Speaker 3: So here's what we'll do it. Last question for Jonathan Mayt.
- 37:28Speaker 3: We can ask him which is the best maybe Triple
- 37:30Speaker 3: A team that he's seen or that he thinks is
- 37:32Speaker 3: out there, and we'll get a little check on how
- 37:33Speaker 3: many wins he thinks they would have at this point
- 37:36Speaker 3: in the season. But first we'll get to all the
- 37:37Speaker 3: prospects with him. Last thing before we hit the brake
- 37:40Speaker 3: so I mentioned earlier chat BCC, we just put up
- 37:43Speaker 3: a pole there if you want to join. Was Kobe
- 37:45Speaker 3: Mayo's play Cleaner Dirty and if you have thoughts too,
- 37:48Speaker 3: we put it up in the host chat so you
- 37:49Speaker 3: can go check that out. That's the new spot where
- 37:52Speaker 3: we'll be hanging and chatting with everyone. And again, if
- 37:55Speaker 3: you want to go there and get involved, then you
- 37:57Speaker 3: go to foul Territory dot chat. You see this new
- 38:01Speaker 3: glove from Jack Lighter, who I guess was worried about
- 38:04Speaker 3: pitch tipping. It's a bigger glove. It's a longer glove.
- 38:08Speaker 3: There's no holes for the index finger. Do you think
- 38:13Speaker 3: that helps?
- 38:14Speaker 1: Bro? You know how many pictures have done this is
- 38:16Speaker 1: you guys are like this the first time this seven
- 38:18Speaker 1: That's why I love this show. Y'all liket like this
- 38:20Speaker 1: the first time there's a been a picture that didn't
- 38:21Speaker 1: have his finger sticking out because he was tipping with
- 38:23Speaker 1: his finger. Listen, there's guys sticking out for a fastball.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Curl it for a fastball. I mean it's been going
- 38:29Speaker 1: on for years. Almost every pitcher now covers that finger
- 38:31Speaker 1: because they do some with their finger to give away
- 38:33Speaker 1: their pitches, like what took The question is what took
- 38:35Speaker 1: them so long to figure this out?
- 38:38Speaker 3: Somebody gave him some advice.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Maybe his dad is dad pitching the big legs like
- 38:43Speaker 1: out and call him and say, hey, you might be
- 38:44Speaker 1: tipping with your finger.
- 38:46Speaker 3: You probably did.
- 38:48Speaker 1: I mean, why did it take so long? I don't know.
- 38:51Speaker 1: I don't know cam your thoughts because I think this
- 38:53Speaker 1: is funny at I don't notice. Dude, I'm with you.
- 38:55Speaker 2: This is it's dumb, like all right, you gotta fix now,
- 38:58Speaker 2: like not glad to show.
- 39:00Speaker 1: You better not give up a run ever. Now you
- 39:02Speaker 1: can like glove like.
- 39:05Speaker 2: This glove isn't like a torpedo. Man, Oh here we go,
- 39:08Speaker 2: Like he's got the glove that's gonna make him do
- 39:10Speaker 2: Like it's like AJ said, like you've been they made
- 39:13Speaker 2: that finger whole years ago for that because guys to like,
- 39:16Speaker 2: he didn't invent anything new. Now go out and show
- 39:18Speaker 2: me that they don't have your pitches. That's it, go
- 39:21Speaker 2: go deal. I mean, no reason, no reason to spend
- 39:25Speaker 2: a lot of time on that.
- 39:27Speaker 3: No, no, that's fine. I mean they need him. He's
- 39:29Speaker 3: pitching for a team.
- 39:31Speaker 1: That can't much.
- 39:32Speaker 3: I can't hit, they're a pitching heavy team, even though
- 39:35Speaker 3: you'd be surprised. It's not usually. Man, you can't hit,
- 39:40Speaker 3: and Jack's gotta the r's been good and Baldi just
- 39:44Speaker 3: hit the shelf.
- 39:45Speaker 1: It sucks.
- 39:45Speaker 3: Yeah, and he'd been really good. The rotation was looking
- 39:48Speaker 3: pretty good.
- 39:49Speaker 1: They still figure out the bullpenhow.
- 39:50Speaker 3: Figure out the bullpen?
- 39:51Speaker 1: And man, maybe they all need new gloves. But they
- 39:54Speaker 1: ain't tipped their pitches with their fingers.
- 39:57Speaker 3: This might become a trend, but already this yeah, all.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Right, coming up next, by the way, you want to
- 40:06Speaker 1: do a chat on chat BCC, I want people to
- 40:09Speaker 1: watch the game and tell me how many pitchers in
- 40:11Speaker 1: the big leagues you can see their finger on. It'd
- 40:13Speaker 1: be like two. There ain't none because I all got
- 40:15Speaker 1: the thing over their finger. We can't see it.
- 40:17Speaker 3: Hell, I got a glove over here, is it covered?
- 40:21Speaker 4: No?
- 40:21Speaker 1: So this is from the All Star Game two thousand
- 40:23Speaker 1: and six, right, So pictures all used to be like this.
- 40:27Speaker 1: So they would and they go like fastball straight out right.
- 40:30Speaker 1: So when they turn you see their finger or they'd
- 40:32Speaker 1: be like, oh, fastball because they're they're squeezing it, or
- 40:35Speaker 1: they'd be like, oh, change up. That was like the
- 40:37Speaker 1: easiest fix in the world because they just put a
- 40:38Speaker 1: little thing over where it covered their finger.
- 40:41Speaker 3: There you go.
- 40:42Speaker 1: I mean that was the easiest tip of all time.
- 40:45Speaker 3: So most pitchers don't have the finger shine.
- 40:47Speaker 1: No, we should see how many there are right time.
- 40:50Speaker 3: We'll throw it out there left over time, new segment.
- 41:02Speaker 3: I mean, we don't get to things, so we save
- 41:04Speaker 3: it for late in the show. And I like doing
- 41:06Speaker 3: that exact open late in the show because it makes
- 41:08Speaker 3: people hungry, so we don't want to do it early
- 41:10Speaker 3: in the show. We've got about ten minutes left. Let's
- 41:12Speaker 3: start with some college baseball. We got the playoffs up
- 41:16Speaker 3: and running right now. We're gonna talk more college baseball
- 41:19Speaker 3: on Baseball America Hot Sheet later. If you're watching on YouTube,
- 41:22Speaker 3: you go to the Baseball America YouTube channel. But let's
- 41:24Speaker 3: start with Clemson's visitors bullpen. Did you see this is.
- 41:27Speaker 1: No big deal because this is done to me. Did
- 41:31Speaker 1: you ever play it regularly when the bullpen and the
- 41:33Speaker 1: dudes are taking people's hats off and stealing them, and
- 41:35Speaker 1: Chack Cruiser's got to go up in the in the
- 41:38Speaker 1: stands and whoops some mask in his hat back.
- 41:39Speaker 3: But they don't do that anymore.
- 41:41Speaker 1: I know they got rid of them at all, So
- 41:42Speaker 1: wh aren't we going back to Giants. It's a Giants
- 41:44Speaker 1: bullpen was on the field. The A's bullpen was on
- 41:47Speaker 1: the field forever.
- 41:47Speaker 3: But they had a walled off area. And now I
- 41:50Speaker 3: love it on the field right in front. I love students.
- 41:53Speaker 1: I love it, love it, love it. Let's go. You
- 41:57Speaker 1: want to deal with it? There it is right there.
- 41:59Speaker 1: Look at them. You can concentrate.
- 42:02Speaker 3: They're pitch by pitch. Obviously.
- 42:04Speaker 1: I love it.
- 42:05Speaker 4: I love it, I stink and love it. This for me,
- 42:09Speaker 4: this is what college baseball should be about.
- 42:11Speaker 2: First off, when you watch a college baseball game, there's
- 42:14Speaker 2: nothing but antics.
- 42:15Speaker 1: Right.
- 42:15Speaker 2: This is kind of the reason why a little part
- 42:17Speaker 2: of me hates college baseball because I didn't get the experience.
- 42:19Speaker 4: But there's so many antics going on that I love it.
- 42:22Speaker 2: This is what it should be about, right, the yelling,
- 42:25Speaker 2: the hooplae fans feel like you feel like they're in
- 42:28Speaker 2: the bullpen with you. For me, when I watch a
- 42:30Speaker 2: college baseball game, everything I saw right there, it fits.
- 42:34Speaker 4: It makes sense to me, and I love it.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I think more bullpens should be like this. This is
- 42:38Speaker 2: this what, this is what makes it fun and we
- 42:41Speaker 2: get to see who has the real thick skin out there.
- 42:43Speaker 2: We get to see who really can handle the pression.
- 42:46Speaker 1: By the way, speaking of antics, the Duke guy that
- 42:48Speaker 1: got kicked out of the game, that was freaking ridiculous. Dude,
- 42:51Speaker 1: the guy in a home run and he got kicked
- 42:55Speaker 1: out of the game. That was bull for cheering, for
- 42:57Speaker 1: cheeritying him up. Like then, they want to make the
- 43:00Speaker 1: game fun, and they want to have the kids love it,
- 43:02Speaker 1: and you let kids flip their bats and do all
- 43:04Speaker 1: kinds of stuff and they have a celebration and he's
- 43:07Speaker 1: not doing it to the other team. He had his
- 43:09Speaker 1: hat on the umpire kicked him out. Was bull crap?
- 43:11Speaker 1: Good for you to do? I don't know what the
- 43:12Speaker 1: duke's coach name is. Good for you on the duke
- 43:14Speaker 1: coach coach Pollard. But if you ain't watched college baseball,
- 43:18Speaker 1: that's we're gonna know. This is an MLB show. But
- 43:20Speaker 1: if you didn't see the Oklahoma State Georgia game the
- 43:22Speaker 1: way that game ended and walked them off, like if
- 43:25Speaker 1: you didn't watch some of these games, Wright State beat
- 43:27Speaker 1: Vanderbilt twice, UTSA beat Texas twice. Like this stuff means
- 43:32Speaker 1: something man to these kids and good for them. And
- 43:34Speaker 1: then the Oregon play was crap too. I know Oregon
- 43:37Speaker 1: got out it, but the game where the kids slid
- 43:39Speaker 1: into home plate, I thought that was a bad call.
- 43:40Speaker 1: I mean, he was trying to slide, he was nowhere
- 43:42Speaker 1: to go. But listen, there's some things in college baseball
- 43:44Speaker 1: that I don't love, like camp, but a lot of
- 43:46Speaker 1: it is pretty awesome. The kids, man, they got to play,
- 43:49Speaker 1: they get to have fun. And if you can't get
- 43:51Speaker 1: into college baseball when it gets in the regionals and
- 43:53Speaker 1: the super regions, you're watching a team like Stetson play
- 43:56Speaker 1: NC State and beat them, Like, then, how do you
- 43:59Speaker 1: not get exciting? You? Yes, they took out Texas. You tes,
- 44:01Speaker 1: they beat Texas the number two national season three times
- 44:04Speaker 1: this year, and they knocked them out of the regional
- 44:07Speaker 1: at their home park. Like, if you can't get excited
- 44:09Speaker 1: about that, I don't know what you're watching, because it's
- 44:11Speaker 1: pretty freaking off.
- 44:12Speaker 3: We gotta get you on hot sheet at some point
- 44:14Speaker 3: in the next couple.
- 44:15Speaker 1: I love college baseball. I think college baseball because it's
- 44:18Speaker 1: high school is a little bit water. High school's a
- 44:21Speaker 1: little bit too lower of a level for me, Like
- 44:23Speaker 1: I love watching it, but it's not it's not quality enough.
- 44:26Speaker 1: You get into like these Division I Baseball's games, like
- 44:29Speaker 1: they're fun to watch because the kids are good and
- 44:31Speaker 1: they know what they're doing and they're usually pretty well coached.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Oh I mean obviously it's bad coaches, but yeah, but
- 44:37Speaker 1: it's fun because they're so into these games and every
- 44:40Speaker 1: game is like life or death and they are into
- 44:43Speaker 1: it and they're cheering for their teammates. Like this is
- 44:45Speaker 1: what it's supposed to.
- 44:46Speaker 3: It is June Madness, it's June Madison Baseball. Absolutely happy
- 45:06Speaker 3: retirement to Josh Harrison.
