  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: That's what he said. For all you sickos out there.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Zach Wheeler had a rim moved and he's keeping it.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: What do we want to take it out the first ripe? Yeah? Uh,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Paul preserved it for me. Uh, you have to like
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: do a bunch of stuff to it. So I guess,
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know something to guess it doesn't decay, I don't know.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: But he did that for me, and I just have
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: it sitting.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: At the house. We're in the house.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: That's in my closet. No, it's just like in Uh,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: it's like a little case.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Why'd you want to keep it?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I think probably everybody they give it to you after
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: the surgery. And so the doctor walked in. He was like,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: usually I give these two people like a month or
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: a month later, like a week eight or something. I
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: forget what exactly you said, but he's like, I wanted
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: to give it to you personally. So he just walked
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: in and gave it to me like in a bag.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: That's pretty great.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Zach Whaler has his rib and if his house ever
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: gets searched, they're gonna be like, wait, a second.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, Okay. What's weird about this is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: we talked about the hamdmates yesterday and I talked about
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: handmade surgery.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you get your bone?
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: No, that's the story I'm gonna tell. So when they
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: did my surgery, they didn't put me under well, they
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: just kind of you lay on a table in your arms.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They just numb your arm. So you can't why it was.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: It was early. I had like seven in the morning,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: so I just went to sleep. Well, I woke up
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the surgery and I'm talking to
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: the doctor. He's like, oh, you're awake. I'm like yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: He's like, you know it's going well, We're almost done.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: There's not a long surgery. And I was like, oh, yeah,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I know. Hopefully you know, everything goes good. I said, hey,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: by the way, what do you do with the bone
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you take out? Because they take the little hook out
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and he goes, do you want it? And I'm like, well,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: it's mine. It came out of me, so it's mine. Yeah,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I want it. He goes, it's against the law, you
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: can't have it, you know. I was like, but that song,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: bitch came out of me.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it was the state you're in.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I was in Florida.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: No anything goes. I don't know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I was like, what do you mean?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I can't have it? And this is all happening while
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: he was taking it out. So maybe I don't know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: but he's like, no, you can't have it. It's against
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the law.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe ribs are okay, but or not.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I wanted to like get it,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: and I would have put on like a necklace or
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: something would have been like a cool maybe hearing like
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Barry Bond's ear ring and the dangling while I'm hitting
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to Timiday Pictures. I don't have a hamdmate. I can
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: do whatever I want.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Crat's Artepend ninety eight, Section d four in the Constitution,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: thou shall not keep thy hammet bone that top ribs
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: are okay, that's fine.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: And they'll always say Zach Wheeler's got skeletons in his closet.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: That was like the what was the movie Chris Rock
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: when he was like the homeless guy and he goes
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: into this store and he's like how much for some ribs?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He's like, how much with just one rib? Have you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: never seen that, and he's like, how much for pepsi? Which, gosh,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it was like the O g the O G one
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: or the guy over gold. You've never seen that. I'm
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: gonna get you over gold. Yeah, but I'm gonna get
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you stuck her and he's like the homeless guy and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: he's like, how much for a rib? How much for
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just one rib? How much for the pepsi? Pepsi? He's like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: how about if I just licked the dispenser? You never
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: seen that? It's a great I don't know s I have?
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: But he said, oh he got over goolded under under change.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe that was a new Jack City. I don't know.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: You never seen that either, have you?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah? Anyway, well, if you want to be confused,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: this next one is taking the social media world by
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: storm lately. I honestly kind of feel bad, but let's
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: run it.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: You know, he's got he's got a lot of potential.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: He can play all over the diamond. He's a strong defender,
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: base runner, switch hitter. He can do a lot of
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: different things to to help you win.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: I want to bring someone in that that you're excited about, right,
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: and and our evaluations on Akunya are very strong you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: for the reasons you stated, very strong defensively switch hitter.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He can run.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: He's got great instincts to bring in a.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Player that is young, who's got pedigree, he's got blood
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: lines with his brother, can play all over the field.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: He's a switch hitter. He's one of the top base runners.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: All right. So that's Chris Gatz talking about Louis hend Halocunya,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: who was acquired recently via trade from the Mets and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the Luis Robert deal. He is, in fact not a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: switch hitter. And that clip was put together. I want
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to make sure I shout him out Sam Falen on Twitter, right,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he put all the clips together and then gets put
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: out a quote today. So I probably have been getting
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: carried away describing his versatility. He can play every position
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: on the field. Why does it have to stop there?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I called Louis en Helen told him that even though
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: he's just right handed, we still love him. So he
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: made light of it. It's embarrassing. No comment, you got nothing.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I'll comment.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: It's a talk show. It's a talk show. I actually, legitimately,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Should I not feel bad? Should I
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: feel bad for who? Chris? It's embarrassing.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, I mean you can feel bad for him? Why
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: would you feel bad for him?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: It's taking over the internet today.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Did you feel bad for him? I mean that he
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: didn't know the guy he just traded for didn't switch hit,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: So you feel bad you feel bad for him? Kind
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of Okay, that's fair.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Clearly you should know that he's not a switch hitter.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, you know what I feel bad for? Oh, crash,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you go, and then I'm gonna say my piece.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Earlier in the show, a j accidentally said Wilson Contreres.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Two names later, Scott you corrected him and said William Contreres.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: Why is that because we feel like we.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Should be held accountable.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: We feel like we want people to listen to what
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: we have to say, because we really do a freaking
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: lot of work behind the scenes to create a good product.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: If your general manager is calling one of the pieces
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: that they got in a big quote air quotes big
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: trade a switch hitter, somebody that may or may not
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: get significant time for your team, and you keep calling
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: him a switch hitter? What kind of what kind of
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: look does that give your organization? I'm sorry, I really
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: like Chris Getz as a person. We had a teammate,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: but like you do the little things really well, he
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: made a mistake. He has since said, you know what,
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I shoot, I shouldn't have I shouldn't.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Have done that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Like, I get it, But what kind of message does
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: that send? Like it's just like you do the little
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: things great, You're gonna do the big things great too,
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: And it's a mistake. But to me, I just feel
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: like it's one of those things that where were the
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: other Hey, I just saw you did that. You did
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: that spot on the Chicago network whatever he did it on.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, you called him a switch hitter.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Don't do that again.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: He's like, oh, shoot, he did it four times.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Nobody's corrected him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: So where are the other people around him?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Hey? Sometimes we do a little game on foul Territory
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: called role play. It's not what you think. We're just
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: picking up our phones and we're talking as if we're
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: somebody in baseball. But if you'd like that phone to

  Speaker 1: That's why that was my thing is where are the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: people after he says it the first time that say
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: hey Chris, he's not a switch hitter. Where the media
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: people that should say, hey Chris, you made a mistake,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: like Wilson William Conturras, Yo, I'm sorry. They're brothers. I apologize,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: but it happened. I also thought maybe Chris gets they
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: had unlocked a new skill and they were and just
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: hadn't told anybody since he hasn't gotten a camp yet,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: and maybe he has actually switched hitting this year because
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he's a Ray handed hitter. Maybe he actually is a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: left handed hitter and we just didn't know about it.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just throwing things out there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: That's the new value. That's the new value, like pictures unlocked,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: different pitches, Like I used.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: To throw a curveball, Now I throw a sweeper.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Whenever I got to this team, they were like, we've
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: watched you hit right handed. I'm pretty sure you're left handed.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: I think somebody said that about me in my career.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: They're like, we've watched you hit right handed. You actually
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: might be left handed. We don't know, do you guys?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Ever hear the story about the Diamondbacks trading for the
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: wrong Yes.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I thought we did that. I told this story before.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Phillies have released castianos. Here you go, boom so but
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: breaking news. But when we when the Twins traded for
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: David Ortiz, he was originally known as David Arias when
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I played against him in a ball the year before,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: when he was still with the Mariners and they and
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they traded for him, and they're like, oh, they traded
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: I think it was Dave Hollins. Dave Hollins maybe for
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: David Ortiz, David Arius. But when it came across the wire,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: it was for David Ortiz. So we all we all
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: called Terry Ryan and we're like, hey, we traded for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the wrong David. And he's like, what do you mean.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: We're like, no, no, no, we wanted David Aria's not David
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Ortiz's like, it's the same guy. Changed his name that
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: offseason and he lost seven years of age. I'm just
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: kidding little. That was the joke. Say no, he actually
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: did it, but everything changed. That was the joke we
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: used to make with him because he switched Froim, like
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: his dad's name to his mom's name or something whatever
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: it was. But we used to be like, oh, David,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and he lost seven years on your age because that
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was kind of right about when all the age stuff
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was happening. Yes, but it wasn't true with David. So
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: but it was just we're like, Terry Ryan, you traded
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: for the wrong dude.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks had Brad Ziggler and many teams wanted him,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and they ended up trading him to Boston. This was
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: about ten years ago. Yeah, I think it was when
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: it was Dave Stewart and some of his guys running
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the front office. I believe, I don't know. I shouldn't
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: say that. I don't know who it was. And then
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: some front office people were like, hey, we offered better
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: than they did. We feel like we offered significantly better
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: than they did. And then they go, wait a second,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: did they know they traded for the wrong Basabe. There
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: were two Bassames, so.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Red Sox were like, sure, we'll do that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they said, I'm pulling this from from a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Jeff Passon article back when he was working for Yahoo said,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: before Zigler was traded to Boston, the Diamondbacks were asking
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: teams for front line prospects, all top one hundred type guys,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: some top fifty even higher. Cleveland, Toronto, the cups. They
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: all wanted Ziggler, and all were gobsmacked by what the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Diamondbacks ended up taking from Boston Luis Alejandro bisab and
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: right hander Jose Almonte, and one GM in the story said,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I wonder if they know they got the wrong Basabe,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: referencing Luis Alejandro's twin, Luis Alexander Bissabe, who was considered
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: by scouts the better player of the two, ever make
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: neither of them had made anything.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: His brother made.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: His brother at fourteen bets Alexander.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So even if they had gotten that, imagine.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: There's no bread. Brad Ziegler, he's in the book.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: No I thought.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I booked him. I can call him whatever I want.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: When you book someone anytime, home off you, all right,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: That's why the book In conclusion, people make mistakes. People
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: should try and remind people when they're making mistakes.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: And yes, this is a big deal because one it's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the White Sox and they've had a rough go of
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: it lately. Yes, And also if it would have happened
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: one time, then I think people would have been like, oh,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he made a mistake. But when it repeatedly happens, that's
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: when I think someone needs to step up to the play,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: whoever that person is, and say, hey, Chris, sorry, but
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: now that it got called out on the internet because
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I got a bunch of textiles is kind of funny.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: He knew he was going to get asked about it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: So then they had to put out this statement, which
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: was clearly a PR let's jump ahead of this, yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: which statement, which is fine, which is what the PR departments,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: these teams do. They did a good job of this
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to kind of make a joke out of it and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. But that's the thing is like once
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it became more than But again it goes back to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he did one of these at the socks Fest, the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: fan fest, right, so you don't think there was a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: fan that was like, wait, what can And then and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: then when he did the one with Dave Kaplan who's
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: a Cubs fan, so he doesn't know which side of
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the plate Luisa Kunya it's from and Eluna it's from right.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So that was the one who did that I saw.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Can I throw a theory out there? A GM might
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: do many interviews and then and I mean players are
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: victim of this sometimes too. Anybody that does many interviews
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: sometimes they get an autopilot.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But again that's where the PR person has to step
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: up and say.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, you're auto pilot's off, like fix this because they
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: say the same things over and over.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Of course, they all have their talk. They're talking pot Yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: If you listen to those inn the four that we showed,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they're the exact same quotes for like, yeah, he can
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: play anywhere in the field, he has good speed, he's
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a switch hitter, he's versus traded for me.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Pliticians do that yeah, say the same things over and
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: over again. You come up with your talking points. So
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: they just had.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: The I looked it up.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I'm literally just showing compassion, saying I feel bad for him.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're embarrassed for him, like you're like you're you're
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: cringing for I looked it up to see if their
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: other brother, who was actually born when I played with
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: their dad, if he was if he was a switch hitter.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: He's also right handed, so their dad, their cousins, all
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: of them right handed. So there was no switch hitters
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: in the Acuna family that I'm aware of.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: He was just thinking, you know, he plays a lot
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of positions and he can just do it all on
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the field. You get him from the left side the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: right side.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Oops.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: I've I think it's a little bit bigger a deal
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: than what you guys said.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm just saying it's not a big deal. All
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I said, who whoa, whoa. Don't misquote me.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: No, I said it wasn't a big deal.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal. You need to know your players
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and who you're trading for. I'm making fun of the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Diamondbacks trading for a player that they did not know
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: was the wrong player. What I'm saying is I also
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: feel bad. It's like when my dog barks and goes
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: crazy and thinks there's someone in the hallway and I
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: opened the door and I'm like, you were freaking out,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: there's nothing here. I'm embarrassed for them, that's all.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: It is. What it is. It'll go away in one day.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: But it's just you know what it is. It's just funny.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: It's just funny because obviously people know I'm a white
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Sox fan, so people just text me this all the time, yeah,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and say, what is your GAM doing? I'm like, ya,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: there's no answer, Like you made a mistake.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Let's just see what the results look like. Is the
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: team gonna be better, the team gonna be good or not?
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it's probably not gonna be good, but the better I'll.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Tell you one more thing. Folks, back in when the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Winter Meetings were really fun, a bunch of gms would
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: just sit at the bar, get drunk and make trades.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: That's what the GM or the Winter Meetings was about.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: And I think there's a little bit of the GM meetings.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: They might have like a cocktail and play pickleball or whatever.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: They don't really get much done. But you know, the
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: real winter meetings back in the day.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Back in the day was great. Everything happened.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Drunk trades, real, real drunk trades. Not in nineteen twenty four.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I'm talking in when do you think that ended? Yeah?
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Now they just take an edible and they don't trade
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: anybody because everything's terrible. Bro, we don't have any money.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: That guy sucks in bass mall. What did your algorithm say, careful.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Don't do that. It's WBC season. We can't talk about
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: that stuff. They'll suspend you.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: That's Jobby Bias.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: You missed that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: There's gonna be nobody left.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: This is so fun.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I know we're gonna get into WBC's it gets closer
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and I have to do the games. Yeah, why do
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: they have different drug rules when it's the same.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you're bringing up the topic from Priday?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: And then also why is there no abs? If they're
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: throwing abs into the regular season, why don't we just
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: throw abs into this thing too? You know what, you
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: would get it. But if you're Major League Baseball, a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: free trial of it on TV so everyone sees it, why.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Would you not?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Why would you not do that?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Stupid? And also you have all the leverage in the world.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: If I'm baseball, I'm just like, hey, whatever federation you are, like,

• 18:43
  Speaker 2: They probably have that, don't They can't.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: I don't ship one.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: They can't ship one over there to get this done.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: That's why they played a Big League game last year
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: in the Tokyo Dome. They can't. They didn't put it.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: They didn't have all this stuff in. It's going to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: be part of it.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be part of They're gonna have to set
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: up Hawkeye for the children of the corn game.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Or I think can do that at Fields of Dreams.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: That's what I mean.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Like this is you're gonna have a guy dressed up.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: You're gonna have one of the bad bunny people that
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: was dressed up like the planting to be the howt
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: guy guy it's a corn.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: And hold up on the weeds in the weeds.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like seriously, that was kind of cool, though. I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: did like the people that were plants that if you
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: see the videos and the running out there. Yeah, and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: you're like, what the hell was on there too?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Ronald Cerney was there. All right, Shall we try to
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: get back on track for a second. No, No, you
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: don't want to.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: What's the point this point?
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Jose Burrios apologized for kind of ditching the team in
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the World Series last year. He wasn't going to pitch
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: unless they needed him. He wasn't on the roster. He
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: was frustrated about it. He is a really good dude,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: nice guy. I know I say that a lot, but
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: if you can do the math, often we don't say
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: that about someone, so maybe you can and for something.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: But with Jose, well like apologize to his teammates, bad decision,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: went home during the World Series, wanted to rehab with
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: his family. Blue Jays players had been treating me amazing.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: They understand me. According to Brios, here's another case. I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: going to say, good guy. I don't think this is
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: a testament to his character the whole way through. But
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: that's a pretty big mistake. And if you go back
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to when we talked about this during the winter meetings,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: what if they needed him and he's not there.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Well, my thing is like, I get you want to
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: be with your family, but you want to rehab with
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: your family. Like it's a week, dude, like ten days
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and most like you can have your family fly with
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: you around. You have ton of money.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It's the World Series, the World Series.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: You might never get back to one.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I get it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: He apologized. So he did do the right thing. I'll
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: give him credit.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: That's the right thing.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: He did the right thing. He apologized. And listen, as
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we all know and Kratz knows this too, when you're
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: in a clubhouse and a guy apologizes, you always are like,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: it's cool, man. But there's always right, There's always you know, crotch,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: there's always like that little bit of you that's like, okay,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: because we all we all screw up. We all screwed up, right,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: But there there are certain things as teammates. And I'm
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: not saying jose Bris is a bad teammate, but there's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: a there's there's always that little bit in the back
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: of your mind. It's like, damn, we were in the
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: World Series and he chose not to be here because again,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: because he wanted to go with this, because he wanted
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to go rehab with his family.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Because he was pissed that he wasn't on the roster.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: There, that's that's what AJ's saying is in his mind,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: he was pissed in that moment. Are you going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: choose yourself over the team in another situation? Is what
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: AJ was inferring right there. I'm not saying I think
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: he did the right thing. I think the dudes know
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: him because a week of a mistake is way different
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: than an entire year of a mistake. But it's just
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: like when somebody lies to you. If you're gonna lie
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: about something, are you gonna lie about something? Big Jose
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: Burrios is on this team. He has been a very
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: He's been a huge piece to this team. He makes
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: his starts, and he was pissed. Every single dude in
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: that locker room would have been pissed unless they weren't
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: worth their weren't worth their weight and salt like everybody
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: gets that part of it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: But you did leave. Do you forgive him?
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Yes? Do you remember it? Absolutely? Another thing? Cool stat?
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: Look up how many earned runs he has given up
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: in the last three years. It's one of those cool stats.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: He's given up seventy seven earned runs exactly in twenty
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: twenty three, twenty four and twenty five anyway, completely off top.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It's no Chris Davis a hit at two forty nine
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: for like seven years in a rown. Oh my gosh,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: every year he get the same yeah a bunch. But
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: so I mean, listen, this happened to me into my
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: carew twenty fourteen. When I was at the Cardinals, right,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: they called me and say, hey, you're not going to
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: be on the DS roster and I was like okay,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Like I kind of knew it was coming, which is fine.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Like I was like, okay, you know, why not and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we need an extra pitch or whatever.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I was like okay. And the Mike Atheni when he
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: called me, he was like, hey, you can go home
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: and then just come back for the you know, if
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: we win for the LCS, you know, da da da
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: da or whatever. And I was like no, I'm like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: why would I go home? And he's like, I don't know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: if you just want to go hang out with your
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: family or no. He goes, you can go home for
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of days and then you can come meet
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: us in La or whatever, and I'm like no, He's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: like you don't have to come to the workouts or anything.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, dude, like I'm there. He's like, what
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: do you mean. I go, I'm part of it. I'm
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: still part of the team, right, He's like, yeah, I go,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: then I'm going to be part of the team.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Like yeah, like I'm going. And I ended up having
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: to play in the LCS because yeah, he got hurt, right,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: But I'm like, yeah, like, I'm not just commuting. It
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: was my last chance to go to the playoffs. I'm like,

• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Game I was what you weren't You weren't on the roster.

  Speaker 5: you drink a little bit of Kolu in your coffee.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: But no, you guys would have won it.

• 25:02
  Speaker 5: is like blue super Mario Brothers.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Hey you retired, man, I get to go. Yeah, I'm
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: snowboarding now.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: So oh I love it. I love it. Are we
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: fresh off the mountain right now? Sure?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I am?
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Let's I don't know if I can turn it. No,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I got no clue how to do that.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: That's okay, y, we'll get yelled that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I just before we get into the baseball. So, so
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you're one of those people that's a snowboarder. Huh, you're
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: one of those people that I am.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Now. I didn't know I was until after baseball, and
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: I I like snowboarding. I'm one of those guys. I'm
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: not a skier, Is that what you're implying.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, because skiers, I don't like snowboarders because when you're
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: a skier and you actually have skill and you actually
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: just going down the mountain, then a snowboarder runs by
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: and like take your knee on, Like I'm on the rail, bro,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I got out on the edge.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: B I'm shredding the gnarl right, yeah, exactly, punk rock
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: and their headphones.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Oh they got their beats by dres Yeah, their crazy
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: hat helmet with like the slowhawk.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: And then you're just like you just to close games
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: for the Brewers.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, you have no idea.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: All right, that's good. All right. So anyway, what do
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: you think about the Brewers this year?
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, there's been a lot of moves recently.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: I'm still excited to watch you. I'm excited to be
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: a part of this, but man, you know, losing Freddy,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I completely understand the moves, but you know, also and
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: then you go in and losing Durban. So it's just,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: you know, Matt Arnold's got something up to sleep from sugar,
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: and I think there's a lot of opportunities for a
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: lot of young guys to come and I prove themselves.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: Wait, wait, do you work for our fould Territory network
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: or do you work for the Brewers? I mean, you
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: don't have to drink the whole kool aid like they
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: got rid of everybody for like they got rid of
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: their ace a year after having the most wins, I know,
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: rid of the number three and number four rookies of
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: the year.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Are they gonna be MVPs this year? No, that's not
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: No, but you still have what he You still haven't
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: seen him to get up his to his full potential.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: I think that's what they're trying to get him into
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: is maybe let him step into his ACE role that
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: he's familiar with being in. And you got miss who's
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: you know, obviously going to be your perfect one two punch.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: And then yeah, obviously we just got Henderson in the trade.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see a couple of these guys.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: But I mean, I can't be too optimistic about it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: You know, we had a lot of young guys in
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, and look what we did. I guess we
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: had crats, but there's a little different.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: It is different.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: But as as a Brewers fan, do you want to
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: see this team make it to the playoffs with Freddie
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Peralta or without Freddie Parolta Because the overarching and I
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: think it's what you're saying, is well, it doesn't really
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: matter because Matt Arnold's got something up his sleeve and
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be these young prospects and they're gonna make
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: it back to the playoffs. But wouldn't it be awesome
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: if miz takes that next step, if Big.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Wu returns to his number one form, to.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: Have a number three because last year they were going
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: into Game three with a spot starter as a team
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: with the most wins in baseball, Like, that's not what
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: I assume Brewers fans won.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I would agree. I think this surprised a lot of people.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: And obviously, like you said, there's a lot of ifs,
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: a lot of ifs in that situation, so you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: a lot of things have to kind of fall into
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: place here. But man, it's who knows what else is
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: left though, you know, there's a lot of big trades,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of prospects coming in, and there could still
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: be some was made obviously, you know, seeing Hamilton come over,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I think that third base is still up for grabs.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Bullpen at the end of the end of the game
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: looks solid. Still, I don't know. I mean, there's still
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: they need to get some bats. Obviously, there's still a
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: lot of this. I know it's.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Wait, but hold on in a second. You were just
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: talking about him winning the World Series. Now sudden there's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: I like, wait a second.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: There's no bats.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Stop, I'll stop.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: There's if there's if there I mean, you're hopeful, you know,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: you hope, you hope you can make a good run.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: You sound like a Brewers fan that we'd be talking to,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: like on the side of the street. That's like, well,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: if if Wilson Contreras hits sixty like cal Rawly did,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: If Bryce Terraang hits forty, if Christian Yeax plays one
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two, if Jackson Tario doesn't get hurt
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and hits forty, if Woody doesn't get hurt, if miss
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: can figure out how to throw it over the played
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: for thirty starts. If yeah, I mean, if everything goes perfect. Yeah,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: if but didn't we just sign Gary Sanchez too. Okay,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: there's another bat do what el Gary? Yeah? Yeah, Gary.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: So there's I mean there's another bat hopefully get back
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: to his his all star form as well. There's a
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: lot of this, but it's still it's still the Al Central.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: There's still Brewers trying to think of who you got
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: in there. I mean, there there's gonna be some competition
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: obviously with the Cubs and the Reds are always going
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: to have their bats. So I think that there's still
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: a good opportunity that they win. They can at least
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: win the division, get get into the wild Card. There's
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: a lot of opportunities now with baseball, but there is
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: also a lot of this. Let's just let's how it is, man.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, yo, if everyone can stay healthy the Dodgers, right,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: if everyone can stay healthy every year with the Dodgers,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: they're gonna they're gonna have a chance to win it
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: every year. And last year everything fell into place.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: So all right, listen, listen, you blue your blue smurf.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go to an area that you can't give
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: me an ifs or butts. You know, you know Hooky,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: you know Chris the pitching coach for the Brewers, can
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: he help Kyle Harrison learn to throw strikes, be more consistent,
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: be that like super high ceiling pitcher that everybody in
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: baseball has always ranked.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Him hat as.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: And if he can do it, how does he do that?
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I couldn't tell you how he's gonna do it, obviously,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: that's what Hookey knows and only Hooky knows. But I
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: do have faith in Hookie obviously, seeing what he's done
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: over the years in his career in the minor league
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: level and the major league level. I think Hookie knows
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: exactly how to work with these guys. He sees the
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: spin rate of these guys, he knows where these guys
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: need to throw to be successful. And I mean they've
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: done a really good job obviously the past couple of years,
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: past few years of having a very strong starting rotation
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: and bullpen getting ahead throwing strikes, knowing that what you
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: have is enough. Yeah, of course, I think Hookie knows
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: exactly what he's doing with this guy, and he's gonna
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: he's gonna do everything that he can possibly so high
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: spin rate, good change up. Like you said, I mean,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: if he can just learn to throw strikes just what
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: twenty thirty percent more of the time, then he's going
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: to be very successful.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's a big jump. But it's another if just
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: saying twenty to thirty, there's another that's a giant jump.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: By the way, I thought you said like five percent maybe,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: but twenty to thirty Damn, that's a lot of Man.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: If I was twenty twenty to thirty percent more homers,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: I'd be at the.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: All thing exactly. If I'm throwing eight percent over my
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: fifty percent, I'd probably still be playing right now. So
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: you're right, You're.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, what I just want to know, you were
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: a Brewer guy, you were a bullpen guy. You were
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: on a couple of teams before you got to the Brewers.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: What are the Brewers telling you? Said, I don't know
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: what Hooky tells them. What did he tell you? And
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: what do they tell their bullpen that makes them so
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: successful at finding guys off waivers, finding guys other teams
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: dump and make them so great, especially the bullpen guys
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: they have, Uh I mean, and.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: From my experience in Milwaukee was, look, they want to
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: find guys that are coming in that are gonna throw strikes.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Obviously they love guys that throw hard. You see it,
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: You've got plenty of guys in the bullpen that are
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: flame throwers. And you can always work with flame throwers, right,
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: but guys that come in that are I spin rate
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: or they've got you know, your sinker, slider, chain jump. Now,
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: the sweepers, anybody that knows they're coming in and they're
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: gonna throw strikes, they're not gonna come in and be timid,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: be afraid. They're coming in. And look, Milwaukee's always had, right,
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: some really good starting pitchers who are gonna get you
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: five to six innings, and so you know that the
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: bullpen's probably coming in for three to four innings to
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: find two to three innings to finish out the game. So,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know how they find them, but
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: they do.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: They find They found you.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: They found me the hours before Hooky, but I worked
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: with Hookey in Double A and the spring training. But look,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: that's where I think Matt Arnold has a great relationship
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: with Murphy and Hooky, and they know what they're looking for.
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: They know the guys they are looking for. I don't
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: know who that who those guys are, but they have
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: found those guys right the past. What is it we're
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six season now, So they have found
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: those guys since really twenty eighteen. I mean they've been
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: making playoff runs since then.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: So who's the guy.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Who's the guy that you're watching, Somebody you haven't mentioned
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: yet that you're like, if this guy can take the
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: next step, if this guy can come Obviously A's gonna
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: give you a hard time because it's ifs, but there's
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: always somebody that you're like, this guy takes that next step,
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: the Brewers are going to be, oh okay.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Honestly, man, I mean, it's not a taking the next
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: step for me. I want to see Woodriff. I want
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: to see Woodroff get back to his Obviously, these injuries,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: the surgeries that he's been having, you know, it's it's
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: part of the business, but I want to see him
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: get back. You know, he he started looking really good
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: last year and then he had some you know, inflammation
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: build up and he was out all postseason, you know.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: So I think I want to see him get back
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: to his his form, his all star form, his the
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: numbers that he has in the playoffs. I want to
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: see him back. And if if wood he can come back,
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: I think that having that ace is going to be
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: a very solid start for the Brewers.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: It's fair. Yeah, help all the f's work out for
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: the Brewers. Big fan of a big fan of the Brewers,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: big fan of a sala hurts my heart.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: They won ninety seven games last year. They got beat
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: by the World Champs. They had a really nice season
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: last year. Now are they weaker on paper this year? Yes?
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you can make that argument.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: But it's I do you think they went from ninety
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: seven to what?
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of young guys. Yeah, we don't
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: know how that would be. Oh yeah, did you say sorry?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So yeah, I said I'd like to sell as
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: much as it pains me to say that.
