  Speaker 1: Aj Ramo sits here. How we doing, Aj, it's been
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a minute, man.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: You're doing great, man, Yeah, thanks for having me. It's
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: been a while, but doing great. I'm back in Texas.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I moved back here in Texas. I'm not in Arizona anymore,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: so back here around family. Uh So it's been a
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: great transition so far.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Well give me everything you got on Joshua Biez from
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the weekend, and then Krats will chime in, how crazy
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was that? We've never seen it before? First three abs,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: welcome to the big leagues, like nobody's ever done it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was really cool to see.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And Oliver Maml's take on it where he's like that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: smile of looking in the dugout like he's happy to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: be here and like he deserves to be here, that
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: type of confidence, and for him to go out there
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and against a great pitcher in Boyd as well, he's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: been doing well, so for him to be able to
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: go out there and slow the game down, I know,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: like a lot of times when it's your first game,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: it seems like everything's moving really fast and you're trying
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: to make it as compared to the minor leagues, as
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: most as possible to get some sort of like get
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: your feet under your the on the ground basically because
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you feel like you're floating. And so for him to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: slow down the ball game and hit those three homers,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the first one on the first pitch. The next one
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: was like on a two, he was down, oh two,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: came back and then boy tried to backdoor a slider
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to do something different to like, all right, this guy's
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: had seen me very well, hits the opposite field home run.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was amazing to see and it was
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: also really cool to see the Chicago fans give him
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a standing ovation basically when he was coming off the
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: field after he lined out.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Uh, so that was a really.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Cool I mean, I wouldn't expect anything different from a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: baseball fan. Uh people in Chicago that know baseball and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: love to see what even an opposing player was doing.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, anytime you get win this history, that's pretty sick.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: And dudes are making his debut hits three homers. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: think everybody thinks that's what they're gonna do when they
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: make it to the big leagues. But the advice I
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: ever got and I ever give to anybody about their
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: big league debut is do what is comfortable to you.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: And fortunately for me as a catcher, I go out
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: there warm the pitcher up before the game. We walk
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: in all that stuff. You know, what's comfortable for Joshua
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Bias hitting dingers. The dudes got thirty four in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: bushes already. And then he puts and then he goes
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: out there. First pitch, He's like, why not? And that ball,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: like yes, oppo anytime is impressive. Three homers is impressive.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Where that first one went to center was deep sauce.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: So he's been hitting dingers and he's like, oh, I
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: might as well keep hitting dingers.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's not like he's been talked about as
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the next big thing in the sport for years. It
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: actually took him five years and the miners. We're looking
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: at the reaction right now from his minor league teammates,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Memphis Redbirds watching it live, freaking out in the clubhouse.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: That's the Triple A affiliate of the Cardinals, and that's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: where he was small and homers all year. I will
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: say this too, Kratz. Jim Boden, our resident general manager
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: here on FT, has been calling for the Cardinals to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: call him up all year. In fact, going back to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: spring training, he thought that he should have been called
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: up by the Cards, and then just recently JB was
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: mentioning how maybe the Cardinals would be in the thick
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of the wild card race, you know, even more so,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: even closer if he was there. I know, you can't
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: look back at that, and some people are looking at
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: him from the weekend like wait, what we're we waiting for? Well,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: he did have a high strikeout rate in the minor
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: leagues for years, and it went down a little bit
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: last year and then ticked back up again this year.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But I mean, sometimes you got to look at a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: guy and just say he is what he is, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: hopefully he'll continue to improve on pitch selection and chasing
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: outside the zone. It's also okay to have some guys
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that are high swing and miss and just going to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: hit a ton of homers.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: It's a nice young core for the Cardinals scrats, but
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: he might be the guy that's capable of hitting forty
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to fifty and have a little more swing and miss
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: than some of the other guys that are going to
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: be part of that core for a while. Alec burrows In,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jordan Walker, Mason Win, JJ weatherhole.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Like the league adjusts. The league will always adjust, and
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: you have to adjust back. So for some reason the
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Cardinals said, nah, you're not ready. Maybe it was you know,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: he only had twenty homers last year in the bushes
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: in the same amount of at bat So you got
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to go out and you gotta continue to produce. Yes,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: but there's no better way. We always said, like if
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you got called up for one day. We always talked
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: about this in the bushes. You got called up for
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: one day and they said, sorry, it's only going to
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: be one day. What do you have to do that
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: day to make sure you stay for a second day?
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Three homers?
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Three homers? I think definitely gets you more. And it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: going to give him a ton of looks here like
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: they don't have. They got rid of Newt bar in
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: the outfield. If he can play admirably out there and
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: he can give you twenty five homers in the big leagues,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: that's a lot of home runs actually for a Cardinals
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: team that I think can continue to use what they
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: have in the farm system and hopefully they can add
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: some pitching in the offseason.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they might be a playoff contender again next year.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I know they're not completely out of it yet, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: this is not a total scrap it all down rebuilt situation.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: They've already had some nice pieces in place, and it
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: looks like they'll continue to add to that. You're not
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: feeling innocrats if they pick up some arms in the offseason.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think this is a very him Bloom team.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Hem Bloom's fingerprint is on this, having hired not fired
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: a bunch of people in the minor leagues last year
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: before he became a GM, And you're kind of seeing
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the same thing that happened in Boston a few years
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: ago when he was at the Helm, that's now happening
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: in Saint Louis. It's not his guys, but it's more
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: of that mentality, belief in the guys in the system
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: and giving those guys opportunities. And here they go again.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: So will they make a move? You know what Cardinals
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: ownership I think is like the fourth richest ownership in
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Major League Baseball? Do they want to pay for pitching?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Who knows? They never really paid for pitching before. But
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: they also had Yati here Molina, and he made average
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: pitching really good and really good pitching fringe Hall of Famers.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: M hm oh the quote. Yeah, let's finish with this. So,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: first of all, yes, props to the Wrigley Field crowd.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But Bias said, I had a be that was with
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: me every single inning in the outfield. I found it strange.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: At first.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I was a bit scared, but then I kind of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: let it go and I knew that it was going.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: It wasn't going to sting me.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I kind of took that as if he was the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: bee talking about his late father, right, because it was
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: right on me every single inning and just talking about
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: how he knows he's super proud and that he's with
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: him in spirit.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a really cool thing.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: And I feel like when you lose someone like that,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: you kind of look for things to kind of show
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: that they're watching there around and for a b to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: be hanging around him and in the outfut he said,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: there's been nothing like that. He's never had any animals.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: He's not snow white wherever. All the animals come to him.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So to have that type of moment and to be
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that be around him the whole game, I bet was
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: a special moment because that was a promise to his
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: dad to make it to the big leagues, and he
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: delivered on that promise and also hit three homers. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: so it was one of those things where I can
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: imagine he felt his presence and maybe that Bee was him.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell someone that it was or not,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but it was. It was a really cool moment for
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that he shared to give a little insight into the
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: human behind the machine that people try to make it
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: for baseball players.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the spiritual answer after the game from Bias an
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: out of this world experience, even to view I mean
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: people saying it was the craziest experience they've seen. Somebody
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: come up to the show and hit three homers in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: their first three abs. We've never seen it before. Hey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: for those of you that are on your phones very often,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: or even if you don't use it much, you should
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: check out your wireless bill and make sure that it
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: is treating you well. It's summertime, you're feeling good, right,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: aj But are you spending too much on your wireless bill?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: And should mint Mobile get involved?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: Some of them has two college aged kids got They
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: are always on their phone, whether it's they're checking their snap,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: they're checking their DMS, they're checking their Twitter. I need
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: fifteen dollars a month because I need unlimited quality coverage
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: that mintmobile provides.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They get that new wireless plan for just fifteen bucks

  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 8:48

• 8:51
  Speaker 1: ninety dollars for six months, or one hundred eighty dollars
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: for twelve month. Plan required fifteen dollars per month equivalent

  Speaker 1: taxes and fees extra initial plan term only greater than

• 9:00
  Speaker 1: up to twenty gigabyte hotspot capable device required availability, speed
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and coverage barriers mobile dot com.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: Obviously, Joshua Bias is not going to hit three homers
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: in every game, and obviously he won't strike out three
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: times in every game like he did on Sunday. We
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: saw the bet, the good and the bad of Joshua
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: Bias this weekend, But as we go forward, I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: what you are going to see is a little bit
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: of both. Bias is a legitimate slugger, but at the
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: same time, he's probably at his best when he's not
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: drawing the home runs. When his swing gets a little
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: bit more level, he does hit for average much more,
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: makes more contact. But it's kind of that balance of
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: how much do you want to go for the power
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: versus how much do you want to make contact. Bias
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: is always going to be on a little bit on
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: the balance beam of that of just at that edge
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: of a strikeout rate that that won't work, or maybe
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: it will, especially if he's hitting for power. I think
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: the key thing for him is that there is some athleticism,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: some straight line speed here as well, and so unlike
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of these sluggers we've seen in recent years
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: who have big numbers and the miners but don't stick around,
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: you can legitimately play in a corner outfield spot. That's
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: a much better profile than being a first baseman with
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: this kind of profile. So we'll see that for Joshua
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: Bias going forward for the Cardinals.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: That's JJ Cooper from Baseball America on Joshua o By
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: as any other thoughts from that guy's While we have
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: like forty five seconds go.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: Ahead, chriss Oh, I was just gonna say, just the
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: strikeouts to me, there's different types of strikeouts we had
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Andrew Fisher on earlier, and sometimes in development you can
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: strike out, but hey, you know what you're looking for
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: a certain pitch, things that will help you develop to
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: be a better big league hitter. So hopefully those are
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: the things that they worked on in the minor leagues
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: with him, and five years as a high school kid,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: it's not that long to make it to the big leagues,
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: like he was moving at a good pace.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: A lot to dig into here, aj, what do you
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: think of the Brewers winning the season series against the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Dodgers that'll give him a tiebreaker in case there's anything
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: dicey with home field advantage or even a bye heading
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: into the postseason. The Brewers outmatched the Dodgers. The Dodgers
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: are going through one of their stretches right now where
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of things don't look great. Bullpen looks shaky,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: blow up average offensive production for the past month plus.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: They're figuring out what their rotation is going to look like.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Guys are coming back, Snell, Glaston should be back soon.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Let's start with the Brewers, though Logan Henderson showed up,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the offense showed up. They did lose Abnuary Rebay on Friday,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Il stint for Game two, but overall, this Brewers team
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: punched at the Dodgers just like they did last regular season.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Do you believe this could be an indicator of anything
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: for the playoffs or it doesn't teach you much yet?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I think it teaches you a little bit.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I liked the way that Misarowski pitched against a team
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: and the Dodgers. I feel like that's comfort to know
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: that you know he's been pitching well all season.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: But when you're in.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: These situations where it's a big series, it's a tiebreaker.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: If you win the series, you have the season series
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: on lock, and that can be big when you're talking
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: about having home field advantage in the playoffs.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: So the way that he pitched was amazing.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: The way that the Brewers basically came together and really
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: started to play well against a struggling Dodgers team right now,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: but it tells you a little bit. But the biggest
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: thing is they won the most games.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Last year or a couple of years ago, whatever it was.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: And they didn't make it that deep into the playoffs,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: so I want to see more of this when it
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: really counts, which is in the playoffs. The Dodgers right
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: now are going through one of those type of stretches
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: where you know it's their downtime. But I'm always looking
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: for trends and when teams go down, how much time
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: do they have to go up? And when they go up, is.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: It closer to the playoff time, because that's where you
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: need to be the hottest.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: The Brewers have been steady. They just got off that
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: seventeen game in a row streak. They went ten and seven,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I believe, or yeah, ten and seven, So that's something
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: that it was a grind to cap it off beating
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Can definitely build some more momentum into that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: off day, into the next series and then continue on
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: this nice little run that they're on. Then try to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: figure out how do we go deep into the playoffs
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and just refine that whole process so that they can
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: achieve expectations.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: Now, they did go to the National League Championship Series
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: last year they lost to the Dodgers, so it's kind
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: of deep into the playoffs, but they only played one
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: series before that, and I think that really is what
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers want. The Dodgers want that buy and this series,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: while yes, the home field advantage, all that stuff, were
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: set up to be exactly where we were last year.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: The Brewers swept the season series from the Dodgers. The
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: reality is what can they learn from this series that
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: they can take into the playoffs, because most likely you're
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: going to face the Dodgers at some point. Maybe they don't,
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: maybe somebody knocks them off before they get to the Brewers.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: But I think the Brewers, if they needed any confidence,
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: they gained it from this and they gained it from
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: this series. But I don't think they need confidence. To me,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: I would have figured out a way if I was
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: the Brewers to possibly, you know, maybe bump miss maybe
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: bump Logan Henderson, the two guys that you're going to
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: be throwing against the Dodgers, because the Dodgers are a
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: veteran team and that lineup learns Okay, we've seen missus fastball,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: We've seen that we have to swing two balls above.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: We've seen that we have to make these adjustments. And
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: with the Dodgers, to me, I think the whole Tucker
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I think he went hitless for the entire homestand I
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: think there's questions that they need to ask there it is.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Alden Gonzalez tweeted, Kyle Tucker is zero for nineteen on
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: his home stand and is slashing nine, two eighty six
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: and two seventy two at Dodgers Stadium this year. Do
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: you think Dave Roberts, who won a World Series with
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: all bullpen and not much starting pitching and then the
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: next year won a World Series with all starting pitching
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: and not much bullpen, is not evaluating You think he's
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: not seeing what you know, seeing what's going on out there. No,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: he's doing it every single day. He knows what these
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: guys can and can't do. And I think Tucker those
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: numbers at Dodger Stadium, something's going on. Does he not
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: feel comfortable where he stays? Does he not see the ball?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's too much pressure. I mean, the
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: dude's been a big leader for a long time. But
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: those numbers. I don't think Dave Roberts is afraid of
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: making the big moves that the team needs. And if
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: he doesn't turn it around, what kind of adjustments does
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Dave make when we get to the postseason.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the highest paid single season I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: think in in baseball history, right.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: And salary and value because technically technically show haze higher.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But then because of it's this, I mean, because this
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: one's no, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Is it eighty this year? But with the luxury tax
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: it's something like one to eighteen.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how much it costs them on the luxury tax
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: is nut. And also for Otani, I mean, we we've
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: done enough education on this show. Deferrals value present value,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: it's not even close. Okay, So it's a four year,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty million dollar contract, it's a sixty
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: four million dollars signing bonus, and then a one million
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: dollar salary fifty four million dollars up front. Get confused
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: here ready, I'm going to keep going thirty million deferred
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in each of the last three seasons, and then he's
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: got the opt outs after year two and year three
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: net present value. This is the number we're looking for,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: because that's where Otani's number is much lower than the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: seventy that it looks like, which is a fake number.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Fifty seven million dollars a year for Kyle Tucker which
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: beats Juan Sota's record by over six million dollars. That
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: is not including how much it costs the Dodgers in
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: luxury tax, which is at least double that number. So
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: we're talking about, yes, about one hundred and what fourteen
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: million something like that, maybe a little bit more in
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: terms of how much he costs the Dodgers just for
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. And those are the home numbers. Those
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: home numbers I think are the worst in baseball. So
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it gets interesting when we get to October. He's not
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: hitting at home and your doc and you can't even
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: figure out a reason for it. It doesn't matter if
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: he's not producing at home or if he's not producing period.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: They're not going to play him. They don't care.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's been tough, man, It's been really tough
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: for Cole Tucker, and also Kyle Tucker.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Kyle Yeah, yeah, Kyle Tucker. And even him dropping that
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: pop up the other day.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't look good, even though it was in
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: the sun. It's a tough one. It just doesn't look good.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: But other than that's that's the other thing I was
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: gonna say, Other than Kyle Tucker, Otani Freeman bets those
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: guys haven't been producing either.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Those are the core pieces of your lineup that haven't
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: been producing.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: So yes, it's you know, Kyle Tucker has been struggling
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: and who knows why it definitely needs to figure it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: They need to do something to figure that out, because
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: once he gets going, that makes that line up people
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: more deadly. But the guy, the their core pieces have
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: to get going as well.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Along with Edwin Diaz.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: He had a little bit better outing last outing, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: but his velocity is two miles an hour down of
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: what it was before. So I imagine some of that is
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: coming back from the injury, and so it takes a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: little bit to get comfortable on the mound. And I'm
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: sure that a lot of these guys are tinkering with
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: certain things because the Dodgers are the best at being
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: able to get to maximize your stuff. So some of
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: those tweaks, even though they can result in really good endings,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: getting to that ending sometimes takes a little bit of time.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: And for Tucker, he hasn't seemed to figure hit that switch.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: So at this point, I don't know, you know, Kratzy,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: it could be one of those things where it's like
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: all right, Do I switch back to the old version
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: of myself or keep going with this because at the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: end of last year with the Cubs, he also wasn't producing,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: So it's it's a mysterious thing. But the Dodgers are
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: going to have to figure it out if they want
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to go back to a three, if they want to
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: win a three.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: P Yeah, I mean they need all those pieces. People
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: are gonna complain, Ah, they pay for all these guys.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: They should they should be like, this is where their
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: depth will come into play if Doc really is willing
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: to make that change. And you know, hey, Tucker may
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: not start against this type of pitcher, but he's gonna
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: play a huge role in their playoff run. So he
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: has to get right to me. The guy that I
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: think is still having a very productive year, Mookie Bets.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: I think I think Freeman's totally his His season's been fine,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and show hey is I mean they both have raked Mookie.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: I'm wondering if he's a little tired, and think give
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: him a little bit of a break coming up here
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: and kind of give that Dodger break right before they
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: go into the postseason, because this is also what I'm saying,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: you saw all those numbers about that series. I just
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: am fearful of seeing your best pitchers, letting this lineup
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: see your best pictures, make adjustments for when they face
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: them in the postseason.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Mookie well below what he usually contributes, especially offensively.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: He's at a ninety two ops plus one hundred is
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: league average. Dodgers lose Robleski left forearm inflammation, although they
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: said they're not too concerned and mentioned him needing a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: break as he approaches the career high endings total for him,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: so maybe that's part of the mix there. Otani threw
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: a bullpen session on Friday, thirty four pitches, first time
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in over three weeks. We'll see what that looks like.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: And on the Brewers side, yeah, they take three out
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: of four here and miss looks like a cy Young
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: lock a one seven five era for him. And he
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: had that huge moment where he got out of the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: bases loaded jam getting Otanian frame and he just looked
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: like he's ready for October. Just enter October right now.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: If you're Milwaukee, you just want to replicate that. There
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: so fun series over the weekend in LA and we'll
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: be right back on FT. We have pop in colors
• 21:17

• 22:16
  Speaker 1: The heck is going on with the AL wildcard. Who
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: wants it? It's ridiculous right now, Aja, tell me about it.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: And also the chance that we could see four teams
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: in the American League East, four teams make the postseason.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Right the Rays look like they're in good shape for
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: the division, The Yankees and even the Red Sox should
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: take those two wildcard seats unless something crazy happens. And
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: then that last spot, it could be Baltimore, it could
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: be Toronto, but one of those teams could grab it,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: and then you'd have four out of five grabbing a
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: playoff seat.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and well, it'll make me look cool because on
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: a show that I was on before, I said, litt'll
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: be four of the teams in the American League East
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: that are that are going to be in the playoffs.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: So I'm kind of rooting for it. I guess you
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: can say a little bit.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: But it is crazy, and honestly, it's kind of good
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: for the game as far as the action because every
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: team feels like they're close to it. I mean, yeah,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: there's like six teams right now that could be involved
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: in that, and so it makes everyone play hard towards
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the end of the year and continue to try to
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: move up. I mean, we've counted out the Orioles earlier
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the season, counted out the Blue
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Jays in the middle of the season, even counting out
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: the Twins and the Tigers, especially after trading True.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Schoobo in MI.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: So like, it's one of those things where it's up
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: for grabs and nobody has played consistent baseball enough to
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: be able to take that last spot. Everyone's playing around
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: five hundred baseball. They'll win three in a row and
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: then lose three in a row, and then it's kind
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: of one of those crazy things to where it's up
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: for grabs. And as far as how it's going for me, again,
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: I mentioned about the trends.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: The Orioles are starting.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: To play better baseball, the Blue Jays are starting to
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: play better baseball. So I feel like the teams that
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: are starting to kind of get it together are gonna
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: have the best chances to secure those last spots. The
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Rangers have been inconsistent all year for the most part,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: playing a little bit better every once in a while,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: but it hasn't been consistent enough. So whatever team just
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: is consistent in winning some ballgames is gonna be the
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: one to grab that last spot. But right now everyone's like, no,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you take it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Oh you take it. I'll take it. You take it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: So somebody has to step up there.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: That's it. Somebody has to step up. I don't know
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: if you guys ever had the dream, but I've had
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: dreams before where I'm going to punch somebody and you're
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: going to punch them and it's just like pewh you
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: got nothing. That's what it looks like right now for
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the American League Wildcard. I mean, we're gonna take our
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: best swing and we're going into We're going into Houston
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: as the Mariners, and we're gonna go and take this shit.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: We're gonna blow two games and then we're gonna win
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: the third game, like, oh man, we're the Orioles. We
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: got this. We're totally gonna and then we go and
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: lose two or three and then we're the Rangers and
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: de gram goes down. Like there's just so many things,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: and it's wild to me that the Ools have made
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: this run after getting rid of Rutchman. The Tigers have
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: made this run, like AJ said, after getting real Schooble
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: and Miz And you look at it and you say,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: oh man, well, maybe this team has turned the corner,
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: or maybe they're all just beating each other up because
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: they're all just kind of not that great.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean these are sub five hundred teams. We
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: might have a sub five hundred wildcard team. Sure one
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: of these teams can go on a run and finally
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: not be inconsistent for the last forty games or whatever
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: it is to end the year. But right now it's
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: just a splash of crap and then a splash of
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: The Ools are a perfect example here, right, So they
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: head into that race series, Rays are coming off the
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: road trip where they went nine to zero there. I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: think the best records still at home, or at least
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: entering that series. I think there were forty one and eighteen.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: What happens Oils thump them offense completely shows up and
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: smacks them in the face in the first three. There's
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: one more to go that's gonna come after we're doing
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: this segment right now. But impressive showing from Baltimore. And
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: you look at all these teams, that's the thing, Crats,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: they all have some positive pieces. Right, Like if we
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: said entering the year, when you look at Baltimore, Okay,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: this team could be a wildcard club, you beg Yeah,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: I can buy that, you could buy. Obviously, the Mariners
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: have been one of the most disappointing because we thought
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: they'd be running for the division and they're still in
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: that race. Tigers were supposed to be much better than
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: they are. Blue Jays were supposed to be much better
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: than they are. To me, I think a lot of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: people are looking at these teams like they're bad teams.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think they're bad teams. I think most of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: them have underperformed and they're in the same list here.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know. I don't think you
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: underperform for one hundred and twenty games. I think you
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: are what you are. I think you're five hundred team
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: that underperformed by what three games? Four games? To me,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: you have to if you're gonna, if you're gonna put
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the odds on the field, gonna have to say, what
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: do you think wins games down the stretch here? If
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: you say the team that just beats the other team's
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: brains in, okay, then you say, okay, Tigers are gonna
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: grab that last spot. If you say, well, it's gonna
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: be youth, Okay, Well then the Tigers. You know, they
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: still might be that spot, or it's gonna be pitching.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: To me, I think it's the Guardians. What pitching is
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: most intact for a team right now, I think it's
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the Guardians. I think the Orioles have some good pitching
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: with Boz and Braddock. And you sit there and you go,
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: what I say, Braddick Bradish? Yes, like you say, you
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: say what you think wins down the stretch, and then
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: you say, Okay, well that's who should be able to
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: pull out on top here. And that's why I thought
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: the Mariners. A week ago before I went on vacation,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, Mariners, this is their time. They're
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: gonna do it here. They are two and a half
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: games out. They had a shot at winning the first
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: two games of that series against the Astros. Then it
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: would be a game and a half out of or
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: two game of the division, which you'd rather win.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I still mean, I guess sorry to your
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: point Kratz on that, you know, I look at the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: run differential and the only team that is in this
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: wild card race in the AL, the only team with
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: the positive run differential are the Tigers. Everyone else has
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: a negative run differential. The Rangers have a negative forty
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: seven and the Blue Jays negative fifty seven, So it
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: seems like if you go off of that, that means
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: they pitch, they hit more, hit well, and then they're
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: pitching holds runners or keep scores down. So if I
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: had to go with that, I mean I would go
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with the Tigers. But then you're like, how does that happen?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Is a lot of that because Schooble and Mice were
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: there at the beginning, And now does that drop because
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: you lose.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Those two pitchers? So yeah, it's it's up up for grabs.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Now, there's so many people that think losing Schooble and
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Minds meant nothing, and they all have receipts sent to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: a j. Perzinski over the life two weeks. So how
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: did that weekend series go for the team? And how
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: did Casey Mais pitch for the Padres on Sunday? Oh
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: he shoved okay, Mike drop, Let's move on. This was
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the Sarah Langx famous we for the win probability meter
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: for the game on Friday, Astros with an epic win
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and Christian Walker had the three run walk off homer.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: But this is the sport we live in aj then
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the Mariners state the next two. So they won the series, right,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: you're watching that one.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Oh, here they go.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Astros are gonna have a powerful series, and they had
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: a great Friday. And sure, I mean not a lot
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: of movement in the standings from that series. One game
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: up for Seattle, but overall, I mean Houston didn't play
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: great the rest of the way there and now at
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: home they'll welcome in. I believe it's the Angels and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the A's are coming for the next two for them.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So that's the perfect dose of medicine for a team
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that had a disappointing series.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's something that you got to try to find
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the positives of that and try to figure out how
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: to replicate the positives.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: When you have a series like that. Hunter Brown has
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: been he's been struggling a bit. Man. That's a guy
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: that I feel like that has dropped off a bit.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: He came out from an injury earlier this year, so
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: it could be one of those things where he's trying
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: to figure out his stuff, trying to get the feels back.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: A lot of times when you come back from injury,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: it feels like you're waiting for that same pain to
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: kind of come back, and maybe he is in one
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: of those type of stretches.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: But it's been, it's been. It's been tough.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: But you got two teams where you can feel like
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: you can pick up some slack with But again, baseball
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: is one of those funny sports where that that's what
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it says on paper, but what actually happens could be
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: very different. So you still got to go out there
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: still another you know, two major league teams with some
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: major league talent on there, and you have to to
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: do your business. So but it's something that they get
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: they if they want to, you know, write this ship
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and you can get back in the right direction. They
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: have to do well these next two series.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: A little look ahead thanks to Seekeek. What do we
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: got this week? What's looking good? What should we be
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: grabbing tickets to? What's catching your eye? Kratz, you want
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: to see one of the eighty teams that are in
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the ale wildcard race.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I do not want to see any of the al teams.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: I don't care about that wildcard. No, I do care
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: about it. It's fun, it's cool stories. I mean, you
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: gotta go to the North Side they're going to Wrigley,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: the White Sox versus the Cubs. Prazinski's not on here today,
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: but if you don't want to go to that, both
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: teams are very relevant, very good. So to me, that's
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: that's the ticket. That's the ticket that you got to
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: go out and seek you can get.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: M hm, that's fair.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is probably our only chance to talk about
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: the Marlin tier Aj. You're a big part of that show,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: right fish on first and what they bring to the table,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and I know it was an exciting start and now
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: it's kind of been tempered. But where we at on
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the Marlins, you know, and what you learned from them
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: this season.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: They're a very resilient team. You know, earlier in the
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: season when Yuri Perez and Jansen Junk, who had been
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: throwing well in the season, both went down. Shortly after that,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: they went on a crazy June and had.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: A good stretch. They just lost Kyle Stowers to.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: A hamstring injury, and you know, that was one of
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: their most power production of hitters. And Griffin Knin starts
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: to go off, and then Herbert and Hernandez starts to
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: go off. So there's a team where when you say,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: all right, that's it. You know, that's probably going to
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: be it. You know, this is the straw that breaks
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the camel's back because another injury. Also Max Meyer, who
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: who was an All Star, is injured. But they're still
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: finding out ways to win ball games. And it's really
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: good to be a Marlin fan to see that because
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: it's such a young team and they're playing very meaningful games,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: whether three and a half games out or two and
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: a half games out right now of the wildcard this
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: late in the season, So this is something that's good
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: for these young guys to gain experience of what it's
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: like to play in these conditions. And they have a
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: big series coming up with the Phillies. I think that's
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: gonna be a huge wild card type implication type thing.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Last time they faced them, they did really good against them.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: So it just shows that when you think about counting
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: out this team, they're finding out different ways to win
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: and they're.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: Still way ahead of the curve of where they thought they.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Would be at this point. So it's one of those
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: things where it's fun time to be a Marlins fan.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and one more series here is we're looking at Seegeek,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: where you can use the code territory ten for ten
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: percent off MLB tickets. Diamondbacks red Sox is interesting. Diamondbacks
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: lose at home to the Rockies, then go on the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: road to Atlanta and win that series. Now they'll head
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to Boston. Also, Brandon Foughts on an insane run right now,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: it's Mitch Bratt in the first one of that one.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: But check it out. We're tracking Aaron Judges progress, so
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: he's starting to throw a little bit, working through the
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: rib injury. You got a ticket slow so you don't
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: have a setback because at this point, when you're now
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: getting close to late August, a setback would be devastating.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: So they got to slow play at Krats and balance
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: him coming back to be as close to a full
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: strength as possible for a playoff run. For the Yankees,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: they did fall in two out of three against the
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays. They scraped to win. What was that on
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Sunday with actually our our shirt right here, Bena Rose.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Makeup for it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man, Like, do we look at injuries the same
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: for the Yankees as we do for the Dodgers, in
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: the sense that the Dodgers are in you know, hey,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: we're gonna sit Blake Snell most of the year, Tyler Glass, now,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: get him ready, No, we don't. AJ's shaking his head no,
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: and I agree you don't. And so a J Aaron Judge,
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: you gotta get him back, and you gotta get that
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: timing down. You gotta get g on the field. Yes,
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: he's a playoff monster, but you gotta get him on
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: the field to be able to get that timing down
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: to be able to do what they want to do
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: in the postseason.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that he means so much more to that lineup
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: than anybody on the Dodgers lineup. They have just a
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: bunch of guys that are coming in so that seem
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: to produce really well. So yeah, I mean you see
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: with Judge out and obviously then it just got even
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: worse when Bellinger got hurt. So when you miss those
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: two guys, those are like that's the heart of your line.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: But then you add g in there, who's dangerous as
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: well whenever he's on point. It's one of those things
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: that they you see the holes a lot more because
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: their defense has been boo boo. Man, it's hard for
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: them to like I believe that they can play better defense.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: But for some reason they're not, And I don't know
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: what the reason behind that is.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: They just they're a little bit sloppy.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: And you can see the Dodgers got a little bit
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: sloppy with their defense. Tommy Edmand missed those two balls
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: or whatever it was. But you don't see that as
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: much as happening with the Dodgers as the Yankees. And
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: when you don't play clean the defense and you're not hitting,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: then that makes you look even worse, even though you
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: have some good pitching, good bullpen as well. So yeah,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: it definitely means a lot more when Aaron Judge isn't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: in the lineup than anybody out being out.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: For the Dodgers, Yeah.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: They're relying on their pitching a lot to spend some
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: low scoring games, whether their wins or losses. For the Yankees,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: who just seem like they are treading water. They're not
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: hitting their strike, that's for sure.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Like do we not talk about the Yankees pitching staff enough?
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: Cam Schlittler, al Cy Young, like Max Free, Like are
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: we talking Garrett Cole, Like this is a great, great
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: pitching staff.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Hey do you guys see this on Friday? C. J.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Abrams is going to spend most of his time at
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: second base over the last month plus of the season.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: He doesn't rate well defensively krats at shortstop. He did
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: say he sees himself as a shortstop long term. I
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: don't know if the organization feels that way. They're moving
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: him to second base. He is an outstanding offensive player,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: and they have a number of shortstops in the minor
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: leagues who could be up with the team over the
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: next couple of years. Sever King was a former I
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: think first round pick, and then Willetts of course was
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the one one. So there's guys that are natural shortstops
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: that are eventually going to be up in the show.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think happens long term?
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, I seem nuniaz. I think is like I
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: think he's got like thirteen defensive runs saved or something
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: at second base. So they're like, we're gonna try it.
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: It's an upgrade. CJ. Abrams wants to be a shortstop.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Why because aj Ramos wanted to be a shortstop until
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: they told him he wasn't good enough. I wanted to
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: be a shortstop till they told me I wasn't good enough.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it happens in Little League sometimes it happens the
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: year before you're gonna turn a free agent. So cj.
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: Abrams wants to be a short stop because that's what
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: he's always done and that's where you're gonna make the
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: most money. But is this what's best for the team.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: That's where the org feels, and he's close to me.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: I think if this happens, truly happens the rest of
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: the year, they say it's going to for the last
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: month and a half, it truly happens. I think CJ.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: Abrams is traded in the offseason, and I'm not saying
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: he's traded a shortstop. I'm saying another team will probably
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: rate him the same way defensive.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest things is for him
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: to be able to play some plays defensively.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: To be in the lineup.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, that bat is unreal, so you definitely want
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: to make sure that you figure out a position to
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: put him in that best fits your your organization. And
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know who knows. He may it may work
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: out better as a second base, and maybe it's less thought.
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: Shortstop is one of the toughest positions to play. He's
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: he's not rated very well, but he's athletic enough to play.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: So if this is something that he really wants to do,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: then he's got to get to work in the off
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: season to figure out how to at least be better
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: metrically or whatever that is.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Something to where it's like, all right, you know, figure
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: out a way to be on the field, to use
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: that bat in that lineup, and that's the biggest thing.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: You want to be on a team that's gonna win
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: a championship. You don't want to be playing shortstop for
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: a team that's not gonna win anything. So if you
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: get traded or whatever it is, you show that you
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: can play shortstop or you can be there and you
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: can play second, you just open up more opportunities for
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: yourself to you do get traded.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, while we have a moment, Danzby Swanson's hitting the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: injured list krats. I mean, he hasn't been hurt much
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: since joining the Cubs and really in general in his career.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I thinks first time he's hit in the aisle in
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: two three years. It's the oblique, the side he leaves
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: mid at bat. So we'll see how bad it is.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I know it's not been the best season overall hitting
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: for him, but he's still top five on the team
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: and wins above replacement. He's a defensive wiz and it's
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: a team that relies on that. So you hope he
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: just gets himself together over the next couple weeks if
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that's what he's gonna miss. And then Edward Cabrera is
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: dealing with a blister. They didn't commit to him being
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: in the rotation, so yeah, there it is. The bullpen
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: could be in his future. They've got options now, so
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: that's good for them. They don't have to rely on
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Cobra and maybe he does help them out of the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: bullpen in the playoffs.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: That's not what they had envisioned when they traded for him.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: It's not what they were hoping for. So yeah, they
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: should be pissed. I mean he has When you have
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: an inconsistent year and you're hurt, it's tough. But the
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: the Dansby Swanson most underrated shortstop. Even when he was
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: a free agent and signed with the Cubs, I thought
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: the class that he was in. I was like, this
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: is the guy that I want out of that entire class.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: I mean you're talking about many was in there Xander
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: was in there. The reason I loved him so much
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: was because he's able to hit the all fields and
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: he stays on the field. He's part of that, Like
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: he came up and he just learned, like, gotta be
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: on the field. Manny and Xander both the same way.
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: They both stay on the field. And you know, but
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Dansby's been super underrated. I think he's a leader, and
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you replace that. You don't just
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: throw Nico into shortstop. You don't just throw Matt Shall
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: into shortstop. Like shortstop is a tough position, and the
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Cubs are gonna be tested here with that.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those things. Man Dan's he is
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: a leader in that clubhouse, and for him to go
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: down on something like this, you know, it could be
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: something that's really tough because he's a tough guy and
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: on Edward Carbrera. It's something that I was wondering how
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: he's going to translate to a place where there's a
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: lot more pressure as opposed to the way he performed
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: in Miami.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: But he can still redeem himself.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Let's say they go to the playoffs, or they go
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: to the playoffs and he comes out of the bullpen.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: He has nasty stuff. His stuff is never the stuff
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: that's in question. It's between the ears. If he can
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: lock it in with it mentally, that's when his stuff
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: is going to play even higher. So he can still
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: redeem himself and Cubs fans can still love him if
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: he does make that bullpen move and he's successful.
• 41:48

• 42:57
  Speaker 1: legend and our sport. Tommy John passed away for the weekend.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: Tim Kirkchen just does an excellent job of documenting careers,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and they spoke about Tommy John about a week ago.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: We'll give you a little clip from is this a
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: great game or what?
• 43:10
  Speaker 7: One of the most underrated pitchers for me in baseball
• 43:13
  Speaker 7: history and a guy who has really changed baseball because
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: they named the Tommy John injury after him. He was
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: the first one to have the surgery. It extended his career.
• 43:24
  Speaker 7: On how many guys have had Tommy John.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
• 43:28
  Speaker 7: Sim But he was supposed to be well, I don't
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: know if he was supposed to go, but he did
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: not go to the Yankees Old Timers game, and he
• 43:34
  Speaker 7: left a note for everyone just saying I will never
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: forget you. I don't know what that means, and I'm
• 43:40
  Speaker 7: not even going to go there in case something bad
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: is on the way. I'm not going there because I'm
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: not going to believe that for anything. I just want
• 43:47
  Speaker 7: everyone to know how good Tommy John was. He won
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: two hundred and eighty eight games. He started exactly seven
• 43:55
  Speaker 7: hundred games in his career, Jeff. He had a career
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: era of three point three to four. He was one
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: of the great control artists that we've ever seen. He
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: didn't throw hard, but he really knew what he's doing,
• 44:07
  Speaker 7: and he threw forty six shutouts. You have forty six shutouts.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: His first shutout was on May Or nineteen sixty four,
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: and the game lasted an hour and thirty four minutes. Yes,
• 44:20
  Speaker 7: that's a commissioner's dream right there, and that's without a
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: pitch clock. But he threw strikes. And just like we
• 44:26
  Speaker 7: talked last week about two weeks ago about the three pitch,
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: three out inning, I'm sure Tommy John had a few
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: of those. But best to Tommy John. He should be
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: in the Hall of Fame.
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: There you go, he should be in the Hall of fame.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: That's strong words from Tim Kirkton too, and I think
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: back up the case with the stats and all that.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: So a j obviously we know him for you know,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: the surgery. But let's not forget the career too.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: Now. The career is amazing.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I was reading over some of those stats last night
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: and it was just unreal to just see what he did.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: He pitched too, he's forty seven. It's unheard of now,
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: so he's definitely a legend in the sport. The way
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: you win bout this game, and honestly, he helped a
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: lot of guys extend their careers.
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: Meet included.
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: All right, we're back for a few extra bonus minutes
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: on YouTube Fun Show today. This is a fun way
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: to finish, So we have a little bit of video
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: from the fantasy football draft that the Toronto Blue Jays
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: players held. How do they determine draft order in a
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: much more fun way than your league probably does it?
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: So they have the Blue Jays support staff on the
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: field and then they go by who throws the hardest.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Whoever throws the hardest via radar gun gets to choose first,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: and that's how we go one through twelve on the order. Here, Kratz,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I mean you were once a Blue Jay. I don't
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: know if they did this back then, but what other
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: insight can you give us here, like who would be
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: the Ringer in all of this.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: For me, it has to be I just saw the Jays.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if this is Lannon throw,
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: but John Lannon pitched in the big leagues. Like John
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: Lannon was one of my teammates. If there's a support
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: staff that throws harder than him, it would be maybe
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Drew but Terra Catcher, pooh pooh bat, but an absolute
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: rocket of an arm. So that's what I'm saying, are
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: gonna be the top two.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: This is one of those fun things that you do
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: in the clubhouse that a lot of people maybe don't
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: see now because there's videos and stuff. Now you get
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: to a little bit of insight of what goes in
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: the clubhouse. I know whenever I was with the Marlins,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: we had a similar thing, but it wasn't for It
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't for the what's it called the why am I Blanket?
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: I hear the fantasy? It was just it was called
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: the Club Olympics. And in spring training we have all
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: the club's come out and we have different various things.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: Like one of the things was that they had the
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: machine that shoots straight up in the air to see
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: if they can catch the pop ups and they're fully dressed.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: They also had a stations where they'd run and had
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: to fold clothes at a certain time, and it's called
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: the Club Olympics, and we all pitched in and the.
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: Top three got a good amount of money.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: I will say, so these are the things that you
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: have to have in your clubhouse to keep everything light
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: because every day you play, and you know, sometimes you
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: go through these rough stretches. But any way you can
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: kind of get some fun into that locker room, especially
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: if you're.
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: Not having been playing well.
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: It kind of loosens up the guys, brings some camaraderie together,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: and it helps guys stay on the field and play
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: even at a higher level because you're having fun as well.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: I love clubby Olympics. And we had one klubby in Milwaukee.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: He talks so much smack that he used to play
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Division III football, and a assistant strength guy in the
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: minor leagues was also talking smack that he played football.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: And guess who came into spring training. Baker Mayfield came
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: in and threw the boys some passes, and the klubby
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: who played D three football was even impressed Baker, who
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: was absolutely slinging the pig skin and the strength coach,
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: I mean hands like a bricks.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: That's awesome.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: So you got to see who really had the sauce there,
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: truly right, Yes, I like it. Some cool perks of
• 48:17
