  Speaker 1: On back streets.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it is the Jackson Tuesday here.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I'm thirteen under the sign.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: As we said, the return cuts on Tuesdays are not
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: limited to, but certainly inclusive of the immortal Steamy Ravon
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: in the two o'clock hour, the iconic Willie Nelson in
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the three o'clock hour, and the King George Street here
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: in the four o'clock hour. I got a feeling I
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: know why you selected this particular piece at the road
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Less Travel, the little snippet from Field of Dreams in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the beginning.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I would not say that our next guest right now
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: is on the.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Road less Travel.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: In fact, if you've driven Interstate eighty between Chicago and Iowa,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you know that it's a road quite well traveled. But
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: then again, Geene Watson, our MLB insider, has traveled down
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: many roads. Am I right, Gino, you're on I eighty
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: right now going west from Chicago.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I think that's exactly right now. I will tell you
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I've been all over the world, but I've never been
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: on this highway. So it's actually pretty exciting. It's a
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: beautiful day. We had some really big time storms in
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Chicago this morning, so we're off till at late start.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: But we're on our way and it's a beautiful day.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: All right. Two things.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: First of all, I want you to tell everybody why
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you're headed there, and then I want you to tell
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: everybody when you say we, who is in the car
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: with you. But let's start off first of all, the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: destination and the assignment for you.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: The destination is the Field of Dreams for the high
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: school All American Game and also the Major League game
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Minnesota Twins, which will
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: lead to my person I'm traveling with is the one
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: and only Jim Toldy Hall of Famer and a dear friend,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: and we worked together, and so we're like, we got
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: bags of food and we're headed west and it's a
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: great day.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well, anytime you can be doing that, especially
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: if you're if you're rolling with the Hall of Famer,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: you know, I was looking and I couldn't remember exactly
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: who all that Jim went into the Hall of Fame with,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and I went back and then for folks, I didn't
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: know it was in twenty eighteen, but.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: This class was amazing.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Trevor Hopp and Vladimir Guerrero senior and Chipper Jones, I mean,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and he fit right in with that group. That's that's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: an amazing We get real good Hall of Fame classes
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: every year, but that's one of the best to all
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: for those guys all going in together, don't you think.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Our our relationship kind of began because we worked together
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: with the White Sox and he found out that I
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: was close with Nolan, and so he and I facetimed.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Nolan one day.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: He was in his golf cart and I said, Nolan,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I'm here with Jim to me and he said, hey, Jim,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: how are you doing? And Jim responded, Hey, Noley, how
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: are you? And I said, Nolan, Jim's been sitting here
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: talking about how he used to wear you out. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: it got some good laughs. But yeah, that's a great class.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I was sad because I would have loved to have
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: been there that day. Jim has been such a great
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: friend and mentor to me, and we talk about all
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the time how it would have been nice to have
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: known each other, you know, ten fifteen years ago. But
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: it's great being with him now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And glad he's rolling alongside.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Let me jump right in and get your thoughts of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: what you said we talked about right after the trade deadline.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I've noticed some pieces today where people are doing a
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: further review of what's happened with the trade deadline. I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: want to get, first of all, your take on the
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: teams that really have caught fire, because you predicted this.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: You said this, keep.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: An eye, continue to keep an eye on the Red Sox,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and then you said, keep an eye. The Tigers are
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: not yet done. And and then you said, uh, the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Rangers are not dead, not dead yet, and they've been
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: going well. You said the Phillies would catch fire again
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: and they've been doing pretty well, and uh, and then
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and then you also said the Padres were not dead yet.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And all they've done is win seven of their last
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: eight BAUL games. What have you seen from those teams
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that have stood out to why they were able to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: catch fire here as we're, you know, going through the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: dark days of summer.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Well with every team except for the Tigers, I would
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: say that it begins and ends with starting pitching. I mean,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: it's going to be the currency of the game forever.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: We were actually just talking about that. I think at
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: some point the loss of Scoobel and Mize will begin
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: to take its toll as you begin to make three
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: and four turns around the rotation. I don't think you
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: can replace a Scoobol or Amis Now. They do have
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Jackson Joe Back, who is one of the best young
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: pitchers in the game of baseball, but even he's going
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: to have to be monitored down the stretch coming back
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: from Tommy John. But with everybody else, it's really been
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: the starting pitching. It is the summer months begin to
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: heat up and hitters starting to eat up. When you've
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: got that solid starting pitching and having guys that can
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: go deep into games and you're not taxing your bullpen,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: that's gonna be quite the advantage for those teams. And
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I think that's what you've seen with Boston, with San Diego,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: with with Phil delph Is. They've got bell cow type
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: starters that can go deep in the games. And when
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: you have that and your bullpen's not being taxed every night,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: you got a chance to win baseball game, no.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Doubt about it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And I would be remiss if I didn't mention another
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: team in the National League, West Arizona, which if the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: playoffs began today would be in the postseason. Here's another
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: teams that's pushing They at one time or fifteen games
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: back of the Dodgers in the West. They cut exactly
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: half of that depth sit off there within seven and
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a half. How about what Tory Leavello has done with
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: his guys here as the second half is cranked up.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Truly amazing what they've done, especially with the injury they've
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: taken on the mound, not only to their stars but
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: to their bullpen. But they have a very young, productive offense.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: They play with a lot of excitement on the field,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: and you know, Craig, all we hear about is competitive imbalance,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: and all we're seeing is a lot of teams that
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: still have a chance to go on a seven to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: ten game streak and push their way into the playoffs
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: and those wild card those are really going to be
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: great races down to the last week.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: No doubt about it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: All Right on the other side of that, eyebrows are
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: being raised about the team that I like so much
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: about the Dodgers who lost seven in a row, lost
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: eight of nine. Now they didn't win last night, And
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the things that are catching people's eye. You said from
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the start and others have said it as well. They're
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: trying to get to the finish line. Last year at
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: this same time in August, they went through a slump.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They lost seven in a row, just like this year,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: kind of recovered in September and ended up not having
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: a home field advantage. We weren't even the top two seat.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: They were a three seed and had to do it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the hard way. As it stands right now, they would
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: be a three seed. They do have Milwaukee come in
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to town this weekend, which will be really big. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the things that stood out to me and what are
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: standing out to people is the starting pigeon that was
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: so good for them has fallen off of late. Justin Robleski,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: an All Star, has lost three consecutive outings. They've had
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: other even Yama Motor has not been able to go
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: as deep in the games. And the thing that was
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: really alarming for a bit was Edwin Diaz coming off injury.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: What going into coming out of the bullpen last night
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: was oh to one with a ten to four oeer.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Now he looked like the old Edwin Dz last night
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: had his first one, two three inning as a Dodger. Bam, bam,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Bam and closed it out, had that slider work and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: then got the save off of that, And they do
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: get Snell back tonight, so he'll go back into the
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: rotation tonight for the Dodgers. But is this a team
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: still just trying to bite its time to get to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that or do they have to kind of kick it
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: in high gear a little bit here, especially with guys
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: like Mookie bats batt and two twenty nine and some
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of the other guys in the two thirty five to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: two forty range a Kyle Tucker another one of those guys.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't think you can ever turn it off
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and turn it back on. I do think there's a
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: real tax to having two long seasons like this team
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: has had. I think the addition of Scooball is tremendous
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: for them, because whenever you have a team that's won,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: like they've won together for two years, you kind of
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: want to put on top. You want to pile on
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: with players that are really talented that haven't won world championships,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: because they're going to be the driving force behind the energy.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: But I don't think you can begin to panic. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: still think they're the favorites to win the World Series.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: You know, we just came out of a big statement
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: series this past weekend with Cleveland coming to town. We
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: were able to win two out of three, which ensured
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: the tie breaker. Should we they sweep us, the next
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: time we play.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Them, we have the tiebreaker.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: This is a big statement series for Milwaukee and LA.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: This weekend to Milwaukee will tell you they believe they're
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the most talented, most fundamentally sound team in baseball, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: so they're coming in there with a real edge. So
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: if ever the Dodgers, we're going to pick it up
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: and turn it on. This weekend's going to be the
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: weekend where they want to do that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Here's a popular question, GINO, how does a guy like
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Miserowski throw as many one hundred plus mile per hour
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: pitches in and outing? I think everybody's just waiting for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the other shoot to drop, and all of a sudden,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you hear, alwa, he's got a UCL issue.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: He's going to have to have Tommy John.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: But he continues to go out night after night and
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: just throw a bucket full of one hundred mile per
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: hour plus pitches.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Well, I've said it before. Mazerowski's from a small town
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: in Missouri, one one blinking light in Missouri, and we
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: all know of a Hall of Fame pitcher from a
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: really small town in South Texas. And Jacob Mizerowski is
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: as close to Nolan Ryan as I've ever seen in
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: my life. If you could ever compare one young picture
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to what a picture looked like young in his career,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Jacob Miserowski looks just like Nolan early in his career.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: And I think when you look at his size and
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: strength and leverage and the way he moves down the
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: mound and the athlete that he is and the cleanness
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: to his delivery, I think this one's a little bit different.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I understand where you've got a lot of guys that
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: are effort off the mound and blowing it out and
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: blowing and going, and you can say, yeah, that guy
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: is going to blow eventually. I'm not so sure with Jacob,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: because he works down the mound so well, he's in
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: his legs, in his delivery's so good, and that arm
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: is just so loose that I think we're seeing the
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: very beginning of what I think expect to be a
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: great career.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Out of Jacob Ezrawski.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, So for the ogs out there, like myself, you know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: so the old timers, they'll recall since you were talking about,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you know, fireballing pictures from what you know, a very
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: small town. Since you're headed to the state of Iowa,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it makes me think about that guy from Van Meter
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: or Iowa, Bob Feller, who who Nolan was compared to.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Back in the day because of the heat.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Now, Feller wasn't as big as either Nolan was in
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: his career or Miseroski as.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: But that's that's all about.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: That heat and the way those guys conditioned themselves to
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: be able to throw that that hard, that long on
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: a regular basis, isn't it. It is?
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: And there was a different time back then where guys
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: are living in the weight room and living in the
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: pitch labs. Now, back then, these guys took jobs and
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: they were working in fields and they were you know,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: they were doing a lot of manual labor that kept
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: their their bodies into shape. And I was able to
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: get to know Bob Feller toward the end of his
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: lifetime and just just an incredible human being that that
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: really loved to talk about, you know, the military and
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: his time in the military. Then he did baseball and
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: and it was honored to be able to get to
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: know him some. But it's just different time, it's different
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: ways of getting to where you want to be as
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: a development of a pitcher. But but Jacob Misarowski, for me,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: is one of the throwbacks right now.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Teen Watson MLB insider Forest from the Chicago White Sox
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: front office joining us here on thirteen hundred zone. Gin know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: let me get your thoughts in the American League West.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I caught the Rangers in action last Friday night against Baltimore,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and it looks like they're hitting better than they had now.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: They took two or three from the Oriels.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: They lost a Sunday game, but seeing as Corey Seeger
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: tries to fight his way back through it to see you,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Jack Peterson, he swinging the bat better for that ball
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: club as well. And several of those guys have pitched
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: pretty well for them lats out of the bullpen. How
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: about the Rangers and the Astros, who have clearly the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: guy who's gonna win the American League MVP, barring some
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: strange thing happening in Jordan Alvarez.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Two sides to the coin. I think with Texas, you've
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: seen in spurts where they can go on a really
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: good run offensively, they can go a really good run
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: with their starting pitching, and they can go on a
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: decent run with their bullpen. And the bullpen was the
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: one area I think they want to.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Address the most.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: When they get things going consistently with all three phases
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: of the game, they have a chance to be very
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: dangerous because Skip Schumacher is such a great young manager
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: and they have really good starting pitching. So if they
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: can get it together and mesh those three entities, they're
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: going to be tough to beat the Astros. It's all
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: going to be about their starting pitching and can they stay.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Healthy on the mouth.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously Yourdell's the best player in the American League.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Jeremy Penia is a star.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Adding Dalton Varshow has been kind of a pick me
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: up for them. But they've got to get innings out
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: of their starters. They cannot continue to tax the bullpen,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and so if they can do that, that's going to
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: be a great race between those two teams down the stretch.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: And we go in four big games the first week
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: of September, looking forward to seeing what that matchup looks like.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You bet all right, So Gino, let me give you
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: a chance to talk a little bit about what exactly
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: are you going to be doing with this with this
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: all star game, and tell folks a little bit about it,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: because it's gotta be a lot of fun. I would
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: imagine to be a part of something like this in
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the field of dreams there in Dyersville.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Well, anytime you can get the best high school players
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: together in one spot, not only do you get a
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: chance to see, like, who of all the great players,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: who's the guy that wants to stand up and be
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: the guy? And when you're talking about giving players of
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: millions of dollars in the draft to be able to
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: interact with the players and get a fill for their makeup,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: and I think there's like six or seven Texans in
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: this game. But to see the best of the best
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: from across the country come together and who are the
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: secure players, who are the insecure players? Who wants to
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: be the guy? You can create some separation in your
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: mind from a makeup standpoint, and then once you get
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: in between the white Liones, you're just evaluating the tools
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: and the talent. And it's the very earliest event that
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: there is for the twenty twenty seven draft, and so
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: this is really the starting line in what will be
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: a long journey into the draft next July. But it's
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: going to be a lot of fun coupled with the
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Major League game on third.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you say to these kids when you
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: get a chance of visiting with them.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I like to hear about their families. I like to
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: hear about what makes them tick. You know, there are
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: some kids that have been through a great deal of
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: adversity in their lives, and those ones that can tend
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: to assimilate into pro ball a little better because they've
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: had some adversity. The game means a little bit more
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: to them because they it's their means for getting out
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: of a tough situation in life for their family. But
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: it's just getting to know the kids and what makes
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: them tick and what kind of competitors they are. You know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: are they driven by their own personal motivation? Are they
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: driven by the life of comparison, which in the social
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: media world today, so many of these young players are
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: driven by the life of comparison and rankings by certain groups.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: And so it's just sitting inside in the heart and
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: the mind of the player and what makes them tick
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and what drives them to be great.
• 15:56
