  Speaker 4: Okay, what do you say?

  Speaker 2: All right, there we go.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Ja Now a little different doing it at the beginning
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: of the segment, but we got a little different segment
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: due to you know, this week's show. But man, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: want to highlight today today's segment of j Now just
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: being at the ballpark on Wednesday's game and you know,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: witnessing that six to one on you know, deficit being
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: overcome you know by I think it was eight runs
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: over the seventh and eighth inning. To be able to
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you know, be there and experience that in the time.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: As I said, you know, I mentioned it in one
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: of our podcasts about Opening Day that you could feel
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the energy through the screen. It was pretty cool to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: be there to experience that, especially you know on old
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: tiny day when Tony you know, he actually threw the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: ball pretty well, and you know, it was one thing
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: that you know has helped the privates throughout the season
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: is you know, offenses stuck through it, you know, for
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: the course of nine innings and you know, for me
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: to be there and see them, you know, do that
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: and come through in the clutch in those last couple
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of winnings, you know, it's pretty cool to you know
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: feel the energy from the crowd and you know, see
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: some of the guys. So my Jay Hay now was
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: just waitness send the guys you know in person, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: being down to a good Dodgers team and uh, you know,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: overcoming that.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I had to laugh. If you guys haven't
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: watched yet, make sure to tune into our vlog we
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: just released Thursday morning where we dig into we show
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: some of the behind the scenes clips of j Hay
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: interacting with former teammates and people within the organization, current players,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So make sure tune in for that. But at the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: end of that we were talking, Josh, I was interviewing
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you about how it was being back, and you mentioned
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, scoreboards a little tough right now for
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Pirates fans because it was six to one, and within
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: probably like I think, like ten twenty minutes after we
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: finished that interview, that rally started right away, and I
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: love to see that. Like Spencer Horwitz that batflip, we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: couldn't really see it from the club because he threw
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: it so bad. Yeah, I know, I like, I was like,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: how did I not see that? I was like, oh, yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: there's there's people in front of us. But that batflip,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I mean the confidence that that gives to a team.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Do you think that like that catches on? Is that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: tageous that kind of belief that, like a team like
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers the Pirates didn't count themselves out? Uh, how
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: do you think that materializes? Like what what would the
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: vibes be like in the dugout to continue to battle
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: against one of the best pitchers in the league, hang
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in there, wait till the bullpen gets in, and then
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: beat them up.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you got to like the way
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: that the vibes are going right now, just given how
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: everything's going the past week or so, you know, with
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit of pitching, starting bullpen, whether it be
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: either of those injuries, just a lot of uncertainty the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: past week, so to you know, being a moment where
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: you're down six to one in the latter part of
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: the game, there's a lot of uncertainty in that. And
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you know it's a good testament to them having a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: good team win and you know, doing things that you
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: know they continue to talk about as you know, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: think Noah mentioned that, you know, they're learning how to
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: win and teamsactly know are are going to make pushes
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: you know later in the scene.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: And those are games that you know, you kind of highlight.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Because those are come from behind winds, as you mentioned,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: against a good Dodgers team.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we saw the bullpen again struggle for the pirates,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: but again this offense was able to overcome those struggles
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we saw. Josh, you were up in the radio booth.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You got to be on the call for Carmen Machinski
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: giving up a Grand slim. He did look pretty good
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: before that. Some a couple of nice strikeouts, but tough
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to you know, get kicked like that when Jerry Jones
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: had a pretty decent outing And yeah, so I just
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: love to see the response to after lost Tuesday night.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: That was deflating, felt like a gut punch. It's like, oh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: we're not close to the Dodgers. And then turns out
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Tyler Callahan had something else to say about that, which
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: will get into here in a second. But quick, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: just want to stop for a word from our sponsors.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Crouch.
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: You know, I travel all the time and I'm always
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: looking for possible tickets to go see Evans concerts MLB games.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: When I do, I always find Seakeek. Yeah, I'm not
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: traveling so pretty much. I'm looking for the games all
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: in my area. I'm gonna look for an Orioles game.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna look for the Phillies game, the Mets game,
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: the Yankees game. But you know what else is coming up?
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: The All Star Game. Sea Geeks got me.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Hey, you're gonna need them tickets for the All Star Game.

• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Seek all right, now moving on to mister clutch himself,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Tyler Callahan hitting two home runs in his MLB or
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: his first two home runs in the same game. Unfortunately,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: he did not get his first home run ball that
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was sacrificed to the Allegheny. Apparently he was able to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: make a trade for his second home run ball, So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that's cool. I think, you know, if you had to,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: if there's a reason why you didn't have your first
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: home run ball, the ball being wet and in the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: alleghany has to be a pretty decent excuse not to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: have it. But to have a ball from the same
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: game pretty cool. And I just wanted to talk a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: really bit really quickly about Tyler Callahan as a player.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: The Pirates acquired him after they dfa Kyle Nicholas. So
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the Reds traded Tyler Callahan, who they had drafted in
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the third round back in twenty nineteen. Similar situation with
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: like bubblic Chandler. The Reds gave him one point five million,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: which was way overslot for the third round out of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: high school, and then his first full season was cut short.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So twenty twenty pandemic no minor league baseball twenty twenty one.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Two months in he has an injury and is outmostly
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: or he has Tommy John then he has another two
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: years injury free. Twenty twenty four has like a wrist injury,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I believe. Twenty twenty five, he fractures his forearm right
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: after the Reds call him up and left field. Very
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: nasty collision with the wall. So this guy has just
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: been beaten, bruised. Baseball's tried to keep him down and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he gets a shot with the injury to counter Griffin
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: with the infield a little bit banged up with O'Neill,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Cruz now down and he gets a shot as a
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: utility guy to come in and making him act. And
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: boy did he make an impact uh in Thursday night's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: game because or Wednesday night's game. Excuse me, because that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: was that was special to get one off of show
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: hey like that and then to seal the deal, uh
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: at the end there with the go ahead home run,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: especially when it was a situation where like you thought
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you might be getting a bunt signed out like and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: was just locked in and just said Beasley said no,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: let this kid swing, And Uh, I think that was
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the right call. So Josh as a you know, like
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: a former utility player yourself. With Calahan, you know he's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: played second base, UH might be filling in like corner outfields.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: How is he gonna be able to continue the success
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and state mentally prepared when everything is kind of up
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: in the air with him filling in for injured players
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I think we've had a conversation.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Multiple times just about the depth of the infield, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: you know, I think I mentioned it on one of
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the pre recent episodes about somebody's gonna have to step up.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Obviously with you not knowing what was going on with
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: O'Neill at the time, Connor Griffin, I think O'Hearn was
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: just making his way back. I had mentioned that there's
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: going to have to be somebody that's gonna step up,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: somebody that you know, otherwise, you know, somebody I don't
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: want to say isn't relying on, but somebody is going
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: to make a name for themselves. Yeah, you mentioned, you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: the headlines is clutch Callahan first career homer off show.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, as you said, lost it to you know the Alleghany.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Then the second one is a go ahead, you know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: home run in the eighth inning.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: You know that that got the you know, the crowd
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: even more juiced.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: And you know, one of those things where as you said,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: been a utility guy or when you come up with
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: you get opportunity to bounce around. It's not easy, especially
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: when you know, for the most part, guys have come
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: up growing up playing one position. And then you mentioned,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: you know, the injury, you know, the injury bug that
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: he's had, you know, throughout his career.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: You know, it makes it, you know, success.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Stories like this when when things like this happened, you know,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: you you love to hear stories like that because as
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: you mentioned, you said baseball, you know, try to keep
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: him down and you.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Know, injuries are part of the game and is how
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you respond.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: And you know, myself personally getting a chance to know
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Tyler Callahan a little bit from my spring training with
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the Reds in twenty four and obviously my older my
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: older brother Vince spent time coaching he. You know, it
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: felt a little more you know, special for me to
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: see that for him, because on my drive home, my
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: brother Vince called me and was like, hey, you was
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: at the game, right, you know, He's like because the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: day that Callahan got traded, my brother was actually with
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: him like an hour before he got traded, so kind
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: of full circle moment, and I didn't get to you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: I talked to him during VP, But after the game
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I did see him exchanging a bat with the guy
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: they called his second home run, So as he was
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: explaining that, I was watching it in real time underneath,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: you know, so like sand those moments are cool. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: then obviously when you know the guy's story and you
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: spent a little bit of time with him, as I
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: did myself in twenty four before debut, you know, it's
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: always cool to kind of experience that, especially in person
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: for people that you root for. Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I love rooting for guys that have overcome
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: that much adversity in their career because those are the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: guys that really really want this, that are working harder
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: than anyone else to get to overcome these hurdles. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: he's had a lot of very high hurdles in his
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: career already, and you know here he is still running,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: still running the race, still fighting and making his mark
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: on a major league roster. So just wanted to highlight
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler there. Shout out for PNC was so loud after that.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I have I like living in Michigan,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I don't get to go to P and C too often.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I've heard p andc that loud
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: since maybe like Paul Skin's debut when he was like
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: throwing strikes and everyone was on their feet. So that's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a quite the comparison there for mister Tyler callahan uh
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and just love it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: And as you said, right on time with you know
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the uncertain deal.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: You know who's gonna be in the lineup, so you
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: know you need guys like that that's gonna you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: make the impact felt. And not that she expected Callahana
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: hit two home runs every game, but you know, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: just won't good at bats. You know play, you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: you know sound defense, and you know keep the ship floating.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: You do that, you will continue to make a name
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: for yourself and they will find a way to say, hey,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: we got to keep this guy around. You know, he
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: stepped in when we had some of our important guys out.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: So that was nice to see, especially as you mentioned,
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: against a good Dodger stick.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, we're gonna take a quick break for
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: another word from our sponsors, but when we come back,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the impact of O'Neil Cruz heading.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: To the IL.

  Speaker 1: All right, now, moving on to Onio Cruiz to theil.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: This is really really tough news, I think for Pirates fans.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: He has to add to what's been going on.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, and so this this news came out Wednesday
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: before the game. Injury happened back on I believe it
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: was Saturday. He was able to play as a play it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He was a pinch runner for Brandon Low Sunday night
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, and then he was scheduled in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the lineup after the off day Monday. He was in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the lineup on Tuesday and was scratched about like an
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: hour before the game, and everyone was like, it's not
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: a great sign, but at least he was in the lineup,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: so hopefully it's not too bad. And then he gets
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: placed on the ten day IO I have to read this.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: It's fourth and fifth meta carpal non displaced fractures in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: his left hand, which should keep him out about like
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: four to six weeks, I think is the expected timeline.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: But all about.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Is this an injury that you had?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I broke my fifth metal corporal twice, non displaced?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, what's that recovery?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: What's that feel like? As a hitter?
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: So how did his happen?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Slagging ironically sliding into home with a Tyler Callahan RBI
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: in the fourth inning.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: He had like the catcher's cleat or something. Did it
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: catch on anything.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure, because he could. I don't think he
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: was removed from the game right away, so I think
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he might have had a couple of bats after that,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: because I.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Obviously broke mind on ninety six mile in our fastballs.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: But when you said none displaced, yeah, there are so
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: many things with that because the hands. Obviously, baseball's a
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: hand oye coordination sport. You gotta be able to catch,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: you gotta be able to throw. That's what you used
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: to hit with, and non displaced means that everything's intact,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: but there's a fracture and the possibility of him making
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: a clean fracture to have surgery is increased if he plays.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: And it's not just from swinging the back. He can
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: do that sliding, as you mentioned.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: He can do that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Well that's that's the hand that I and I mean
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I played middle infield. They're like, oh, you could break
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: it making a tag, you could break it catching a
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: line drive. So it's one of those things that obviously
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: mind was due to a hit by pitch, so it
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: caused immediate attention. Right, his might have been something that
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: might have felt like just a jammed finger or like
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: oh man, I just bang my hand, you know, because
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: you don't have a fastball or a baseball that was like,
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: oh that was direct impact. Maybe his was from you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: hitting the corner of you know, the plate or hitting
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: the corner of the cleat and then it's oh man,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: my hand's okay. But then you know, it doesn't get better.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: After a couple of days.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: They probably did some imaging and saw the fracture and said,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: you know what, let's.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Go get some more imaging, and you know, probably just
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: confirms say, you know what, it's non displaced. And if
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: you don't want to miss the rest of the season
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: with surgery on your hand, it's best that you know,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: rested for you know, these four to six weeks. And
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they're gonna be aggressive with you know, doing
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: everything they can that let it heal. But I mean realistically,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: it's gonna take rest, you know, not catching, not impacting.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: So he's gonna be in probably a removable soft cast
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: that he is gonna have to protect. Just because you
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: can hit your hand. Think about all the random things
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: you can hit your hand on the side of the table. Yeah,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: and those small movements. So I'm sure he's gonna have
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: some protective braces because I had to do it twice
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: in a matter of seven months. But the good thing
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: about the good thing about that is the rest of
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: your body will still be fresh. He's gonna still be
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: able to keep his legs fresh, He's still gonna work out.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: He's just not gonna bar anyway. And that's not his
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: throwing man. So that's the good thing about it. Is
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: the top hand for him, which you know, he'll still
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: be able to do one hand drills. So, yes, it's
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: unfortunate the timing of it, but it's something that he
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: should return from because for me, I had three hand
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: injuries and the two broken hands weren't that crazy to
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: come back from it.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: It was more of the torn ligament in my thumb.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: So the four to six weeks, Yes, the timing of
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: it is unfortunate, but you look around and as I said,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Callahan stuffed up Plutch Mangum played a pretty good center
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: field yesterday.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: You had contributions from a lot of people. Uh, Brian
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: runs robbed a home run. Oh yeah, yeah, you know.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: There's gonna have to be some guys are stepping up
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: offensively like Callahan did, and also defensively as you saw
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: with you know, Brian RUMs robbing a home run.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest concern right now for me with
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the Neil Cruz injury is just the depth. If you
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: look at the Pirates bench right now, you got Rafael
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Flores h Henry Davis will be back from the paternial
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: list at some point, Marcell Davis, Wincel and Billy Cook.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And that's assuming that you have Tyler Callahan starting and
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: probably either o'hearne or Reynolds at d H with Azuna
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: on the bench. So your depth is getting pretty thin.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And you Rodriguez was yeah on the seventh thing. So
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: we have we're recording this Thursday afternoon at about one thirty.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Uh so we haven't gotten any updates on nd Hopefully
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the hip is okay. Maybe it was just need to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: get off his feet a little bit. Either way, though,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, this team is starting to get a little thin.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Hopefully.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: We saw Connor was throwing for the first time on Wednesday,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: so that's encouraging. But again, you know, he's still probably
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks away.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Yet they're not going to rest at.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I mean No, it makes sense.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Like I think how they've handled both Connor Griffin and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: O'Neill Cruiz's injuries have been exactly what you want, considering
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: both seem like if they don't get the rest of
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: they it could spiral.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: They're gonna right exactly.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: And just to add to that is, you know you
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: mentioned both Connor and don't know that's that's the speed
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: on the team, you know, So you're gonna need some
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: guys to step up because you know that you know
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: he couldn't hit, but he went and pitched ran for
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: loud the other day. So you're talking to your your
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: speech on the bases, you want those guys to be healthy.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we need guys like Jake Ingham to really
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: step up. He's going to be playing a lot of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: the center field probably and he brings a lot of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that speed that we're lacking now with both Connor and
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: o'neel out. So hopefully Jake Maingham can really take a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: big step forward with this opportunity. I know, I believe
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in him. Looked pretty good on Wednesday, so hopefully he'll
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: keep that Wednesday. Yeah, I mean just the grit, the hustle,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: love it, uh made some nice catches as well. So yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: any any final thoughts here, Jay, Hey.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: My final thoughts before you know, I'll tell you hit
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: that subscribe button is gonna be to you know, tell
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: those guys to limit their mistakes because obviously with these
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: injuries down the key players, you want to limit the
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: mistakes on defense, on offense, obviously pitching things are gonna happen.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: You know, you you want to limit the mistakes pitching
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: as well. But you know that means not giving away
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: extra outs, you know, first to thirds or dirt balls.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: You got to play really clean, especially when you're missing
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: your guys. And as I mentioned clean, you know it's clean.
• 22:43
