Latest / Foul Territory / MLB Power Rankings + Where should MLB host a special event in Canada?
Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: Power rankings are powered by Arena Club. Yes, go check
- 0:12Speaker 1: out the platform if you're into buying or selling cards. Okay, Cam,
- 0:17Speaker 1: We're gonna let you go first. Then KP's gonna follow you.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I'll go last. Give me your one through ten. We'll
- 0:22Speaker 1: throw the board up there and talk us through how
- 0:24Speaker 1: you got there.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I try to think outside of the box, right.
- 0:28Speaker 2: I don't like to be like everybody else. So I
- 0:30Speaker 2: love that we don't conversate before we send in our picks.
- 0:33Speaker 2: So for me, number one is the Milwaukee Brewers. We
- 0:35Speaker 2: talked about it the other day. They have a great
- 0:38Speaker 2: leader and man and Pat Murphy. I think you know
- 0:40Speaker 2: what they continue to do every year special. Then you
- 0:43Speaker 2: have the Cubs right there. You know the record doesn't lie.
- 0:46Speaker 2: I love the offense saying Suzuki should be getting a
- 0:49Speaker 2: lot more love as we talk about Kyle Tucker and PCA,
- 0:52Speaker 2: who's been phenomenal.
- 0:53Speaker 3: And then you got the Phillies. You talk about it
- 0:55Speaker 3: all the time, Scott.
- 0:56Speaker 2: If Phillies do what they do do in the regular
- 0:58Speaker 2: they went out and got one of the best bullpen
- 1:00Speaker 2: guys in the game. I love the setting when he
- 1:03Speaker 2: comes in. Now it's lit and the Blue Jays. Right,
- 1:06Speaker 2: they locked up their guy in Bladdy Junr. They're playing
- 1:08Speaker 2: good baseball right now. They look in thus they look
- 1:11Speaker 2: like they're excited to be back headed to the playoffs.
- 1:14Speaker 2: The Dodgers are have five for me right now, right
- 1:16Speaker 2: a little bit, still in first place, right, still doing
- 1:19Speaker 2: what they do and finding the way to win ball games.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I've got Padres at six. I told you, I love
- 1:25Speaker 2: the chemistry. I love the way they're playing for each other.
- 1:28Speaker 2: They have the most impressive trade deadline of anybody in
- 1:32Speaker 2: my eyes. I think, you know, filling up a lot
- 1:34Speaker 2: of different holes. You got the Mets at seven. Still
- 1:37Speaker 2: worried about their rotation a little bit. I love what
- 1:40Speaker 2: the Manners do. They have one of the best starting
- 1:42Speaker 2: rotations in the game. I mean it speaks for itself.
- 1:44Speaker 2: You talk about Josh Nayler still in bases. They got
- 1:47Speaker 2: one of the best, you know, first base coaches. I
- 1:49Speaker 2: still stand on it, even though AJ is probably watching.
- 1:52Speaker 2: They have one of the best hitting coaches and Kevin Seizer.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Then you got the Tigers rounding it out. Love what
- 1:57Speaker 2: they're doing. I still worry about that offense. The Astros,
- 2:00Speaker 2: like KP said, earlier teams like the Astros, the Guardians.
- 2:04Speaker 2: They just find a way to win when it's time
- 2:06Speaker 2: to win. And that's probably what a top ten power
- 2:09Speaker 2: ranking should look like. If you have anything different, I'm sorry,
- 2:12Speaker 2: you're probably wrong.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Okay, so then we're gonna quickly go to KP, but
- 2:17Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure I point out a couple of
- 2:18Speaker 1: things I noticed, KP, as you're going to walk us
- 2:21Speaker 1: through yours. I did not see the Red Sox or
- 2:24Speaker 1: the Rangers on CAMS lists, and they're not on mine either.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I'll get to that. I also noticed there is one
- 2:30Speaker 1: team that is in a very different spot KP on
- 2:33Speaker 1: yours compared to CAMS. Do you know the team that
- 2:37Speaker 1: I'm talking about.
- 2:40Speaker 4: I was really nervous doing this. This was my first
- 2:43Speaker 4: time doing this, and I was nervous. And I will
- 2:46Speaker 4: say that I factored in the standings, I factored in
- 2:51Speaker 4: trade deadline acquisitions, and really just how they played recently.
- 2:55Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know how everyone does their power
- 2:58Speaker 4: ranking board, and I will say I went a little
- 3:01Speaker 4: bit conservative here. I added an eleventh team. I had
- 3:05Speaker 4: to tie it too, But I will say teams probably
- 3:08Speaker 4: from five, five to ten are probably interchangeable. So if
- 3:12Speaker 4: we can get my list up there, But the very
- 3:14Speaker 4: obvious is I went with the Brewers number one. How
- 3:17Speaker 4: could you not go with the Blue Jays at number two?
- 3:19Speaker 4: With you know, they're in first place and probably the
- 3:22Speaker 4: toughest division in baseball. I know they just played the Rockies,
- 3:25Speaker 4: but you still got to beat bad teams, and you know,
- 3:29Speaker 4: winning games in the major leagues is hard, and what
- 3:31Speaker 4: they just did in Colorado was historic. You know, the
- 3:35Speaker 4: Phillies with their rotation, their star power, the Phillies are
- 3:39Speaker 4: the Phillies. The Mets was a team that as we
- 3:42Speaker 4: got into the conversation about the Mets a little bit,
- 3:44Speaker 4: I could have probably moved them down a little bit there.
- 3:47Speaker 4: But like I said, probably from this point on, I
- 3:50Speaker 4: think all those teams could kind of be interchangeable for me.
- 3:53Speaker 4: But I had to give my flowers to the Red Sox.
- 3:55Speaker 4: I have to give my flowers to the Rangers because
- 3:58Speaker 4: the way the Red Sox have been playing, uh after
- 4:01Speaker 4: the break and what the Rangers were able to do
- 4:05Speaker 4: after the trade deadline and you know, almost swept, almost swept.
- 4:10Speaker 4: The Yankees just swept the series before and I still
- 4:13Speaker 4: don't think they're firing on all cylinders offensively. I definitely
- 4:18Speaker 4: think they deserve to be in there, but I didn't
- 4:22Speaker 4: want any want to get upset with me, so I
- 4:23Speaker 4: had to go with the next team. I probably I
- 4:25Speaker 4: probably could have. I probably could have put the Tigers
- 4:28Speaker 4: in there too, but the Tigers aren't playing great right now.
- 4:31Speaker 4: I do believe that they are a top ten team,
- 4:33Speaker 4: but right now, the way that they've been playing over
- 4:36Speaker 4: their last ten or fifteen games, you know, they're just
- 4:39Speaker 4: the next team probably looking in for me. Wow.
- 4:42Speaker 1: All right, so Cam, first off, just with the obvious,
- 4:45Speaker 1: are we okay with eleven? When we.
- 4:49Speaker 3: KP? This?
- 4:50Speaker 2: Listen, if you ask anybody about KP, one of the
- 4:52Speaker 2: best guys you're ever gonna come across.
- 4:54Speaker 3: And it still shows. Still listen, this is what I
- 4:56Speaker 3: learned KP. And I had to learn this in my
- 4:58Speaker 3: first year.
- 4:59Speaker 2: You can't make it everybody happy, all right, man, Hey,
- 5:01Speaker 2: you know what, you'll have to leave somebody else. And
- 5:04Speaker 2: it's kind of fun when you go to your you know,
- 5:06Speaker 2: your little X page and you see people giving you,
- 5:08Speaker 2: you know, giving.
- 5:09Speaker 3: You hell a little bit. It's fun a little bit.
- 5:11Speaker 3: So I encourage you to tap in to Pisson somebody trouble.
- 5:14Speaker 4: Trouble finds me. Believe me, Believe me. I've been dealing
- 5:17Speaker 4: with it for a while. But I'll be honest with you.
- 5:20Speaker 4: I got the text from the group, you know, send
- 5:22Speaker 4: your power rankings in, so I was I looked at
- 5:26Speaker 4: the standings. I looked at like how they've been playing recently,
- 5:29Speaker 4: and then I just started typing names in the order
- 5:32Speaker 4: and I got to nine and ten so quick, and
- 5:34Speaker 4: I was like, dang, I forgot some teams. So that's
- 5:37Speaker 4: the that's the real reason why I put the eleventh
- 5:39Speaker 4: team in there is because I just started typing teams
- 5:41Speaker 4: and I'm like, dang, I forgot about the Cubs. And
- 5:43Speaker 4: instead of fully rearranging everything, I just, you know, took
- 5:48Speaker 4: the easy way out and I put you know, ten teams,
- 5:50Speaker 4: and you're lucky. I didn't really do what I wanted
- 5:52Speaker 4: to do, because after five, I believe all those teams
- 5:55Speaker 4: are interchangeable right now.
- 5:56Speaker 1: But that's why it's fun. That's why it's power rankings,
- 5:59Speaker 1: and that's why the Cubs two and you Yeah.
- 6:03Speaker 4: That's the other thing. I understand. It's my list. It's
- 6:05Speaker 4: my list. It's not it's not scientifically proven. I have
- 6:09Speaker 4: no hypothesis. It's my list. You can't argue with me
- 6:13Speaker 4: about my list. That is my opinion. You can go
- 6:16Speaker 4: out and have your top ten ranking and I'm not
- 6:18Speaker 4: going to argue you. We can have some friendly debate
- 6:20Speaker 4: about it, like, hey, why do you believe that this
- 6:22Speaker 4: team's in the four hole or not the sixth hole.
- 6:25Speaker 4: It's my list. Stop getting mad at me for how
- 6:27Speaker 4: I feel. And this is this is the list that
- 6:29Speaker 4: came up with.
- 6:32Speaker 3: I want to see Scotty's though. I want to see
- 6:34Speaker 3: what Scotty has.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Okay, so here, I'll walk you through it. I mean,
- 6:37Speaker 1: the Brewers are the smallest TV market, bottom third pay roll,
- 6:41Speaker 1: and they're like, don't care. They're one right now, best
- 6:43Speaker 1: record in baseball. I think it's a team that's going
- 6:46Speaker 1: to be really good. They've got it all going. Yes,
- 6:48Speaker 1: I factored in trade deadline. I didn't love what they
- 6:50Speaker 1: did obviously, but they're still cranking, so I'm good there.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Dodgers two for me, records still there, Guys are coming back,
- 6:55Speaker 1: like Muncie making a big difference, maybe Roki at some point,
- 6:59Speaker 1: Philly for me at three. They got stronger at the
- 7:02Speaker 1: trade deadline. I like what they're bringing to October with
- 7:05Speaker 1: that bullpen. Is it the best in baseball? No, but
- 7:07Speaker 1: it's going to be up there for October when you
- 7:09Speaker 1: shrink how many people you need to trust bullpen wise,
- 7:12Speaker 1: So I like what the Phillies are selling me, and
- 7:14Speaker 1: it's a really good regular season team. Padres jump up
- 7:17Speaker 1: there in the number four slot, and that could move
- 7:19Speaker 1: even quicker if they keep this up. That's a basically
- 7:22Speaker 1: new looking team to me. Mets five really strong year,
- 7:26Speaker 1: bad past week or so. I still don't love as
- 7:29Speaker 1: I always have the Frankie montass edition, and I think
- 7:32Speaker 1: he'll be booted at some point from the rotation, but
- 7:34Speaker 1: for now, still a very good team. I was close
- 7:36Speaker 1: with them in the Cubs. Cubs a better offense right now.
- 7:39Speaker 1: I don't trust their pitching as much as I do
- 7:42Speaker 1: the Mets. Mets starters probably in a similar spot, but
- 7:45Speaker 1: I like their bullpen better than the Cubs Blue Jays,
- 7:47Speaker 1: so this is the big difference for me. I've got
- 7:49Speaker 1: six teams in the National League and then I begin
- 7:51Speaker 1: the American League, which is exactly what I did last year.
- 7:54Speaker 1: And here we are again, Blue Jays, Tigers, Astros, Mariners
- 7:57Speaker 1: rounding it out for me. Tough one for me, guys
- 8:00Speaker 1: was Red Sox and Rangers. I think there's a top twelve,
- 8:02Speaker 1: and then I think it's a big drop off, but
- 8:04Speaker 1: that's not how this works. So anyway, that's my Hey,
- 8:07Speaker 1: it does work like that.
- 8:08Speaker 4: I have eleven teams. You could you could have done
- 8:10Speaker 4: what I did.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I can't do it.
- 8:12Speaker 4: You know I can't do it.
- 8:13Speaker 3: I will. I will say where I do agree with
- 8:15Speaker 3: you the most, Scotty, and.
- 8:16Speaker 2: Where I have my most difficult time, because I think
- 8:18Speaker 2: me and you are have been lockstep mckeeal on this.
- 8:21Speaker 2: I think the National League is so far superior than
- 8:24Speaker 2: the American League. But I do believe the Blue Jays
- 8:27Speaker 2: are the exception right now. I like what they have
- 8:29Speaker 2: and that's why they're in my top three. I do
- 8:32Speaker 2: as I as I look, and this is why I
- 8:34Speaker 2: love doing this because you guys.
- 8:35Speaker 3: I am, I want to say, easily swayed. But the
- 8:38Speaker 3: more I look at it, I do agree with you.
- 8:41Speaker 3: Agree with you guys.
- 8:42Speaker 2: If you did disagree with me that I probably could
- 8:45Speaker 2: move the Tigers down on my list for sure. Yeah,
- 8:50Speaker 2: I would, Scotty. I liked all the National League teams.
- 8:52Speaker 2: I like how you did it because I do agree
- 8:54Speaker 2: with you. I don't think like KP said, I don't
- 8:57Speaker 2: anymore think that's the toughest division in baseball. I really don't.
- 9:01Speaker 2: I think Tampa is, you know, I think they are
- 9:03Speaker 2: who they are. Who else The Orioles.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Are not what they've been the last two seasons.
- 9:08Speaker 2: So and the Yankees, just to be honest with you,
- 9:10Speaker 2: they are so inconsistent and they beat themselves so much
- 9:13Speaker 2: that it has hard for me to say that like
- 9:15Speaker 2: I used to believe that.
- 9:16Speaker 3: So I do agree with you, Scott, I do like
- 9:18Speaker 3: your list.
- 9:19Speaker 2: On the fact that I do believe the National League
- 9:21Speaker 2: is much more superior than the American League this year.
- 9:23Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I mean, just for my test, that's
- 9:26Speaker 1: what I'm seeing. And also someone from that top team
- 9:29Speaker 1: is waiting to join us, so we're going to get
- 9:30Speaker 1: to him. Let's show his teammate here on the way out,
- 9:32Speaker 1: Christian Yelich. There's one of thousands and thousands of cards
- 9:37Speaker 1: that you can acquire on Arena Club, either by buying

- 9:48Speaker 1: the Holy Grail. Look it up arenaclub dot com, slash foul.
- 9:51Speaker 1: I get the question all the time, Am I getting
- 9:53Speaker 1: the actual card? Of course, it's in your showroom, and
- 9:55Speaker 1: if you want the card itself, you ask for it
- 9:57Speaker 1: and you get it physically. But if you're trying to sell,
- 9:59Speaker 1: you don't need get the card physically. You can just
- 10:01Speaker 1: sell it within the platform. Use the code foul foul
- 10:04Speaker 1: for twenty percent off your first lab pack or card purchase.
- 10:09Speaker 4: Crats.
- 10:09Speaker 1: There are a lot of people out there that pay
- 10:11Speaker 1: rent and they don't get anything for it.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Might as well change that.

- 11:09Speaker 1: this up and then former Blue Jay Kevin Pilar is
- 11:12Speaker 1: gonna sizzle. So Jay's Journal with Jake Ferrara writing, put
- 11:16Speaker 1: something out called outside of Rogers Center. Is there somewhere
- 11:18Speaker 1: in Canada where MLB could showcase a Blue Jays game?
- 11:21Speaker 1: This is coming off the Speedway series. MLB always does
- 11:24Speaker 1: a few things per year in places outside of the
- 11:27Speaker 1: normal ballparks, or in Sacramento's case, they're doing that for years.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Sorry I had to, but anyway, they could play anywhere
- 11:36Speaker 1: in the country.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Right.
- 11:37Speaker 1: This is Canada's team, so they have played at Montreal's
- 11:40Speaker 1: Olympic Stadium. But there are other spots that are pointed
- 11:44Speaker 1: out in this article. They said BMO Field, which is
- 11:46Speaker 1: home to Toronto FC, although that's still in Toronto. Commonwealth
- 11:50Speaker 1: Stadium is the largest stadium capacity in all of Canada
- 11:53Speaker 1: fifty six thousand plus in Edmonton. And then they said
- 11:57Speaker 1: BC Place is the biggest stadium, which is British Columbia
- 12:01Speaker 1: located in Denver. That's got fifty four thousand and five
- 12:05Speaker 1: hundred and it hosts both the CFLBC Lions and the
- 12:08Speaker 1: MLS Vancouver white Caps. So, KP, what do you got
- 12:13Speaker 1: for us? What should they do to have a little
- 12:15Speaker 1: tour over the years, And they should definitely do this right,
- 12:18Speaker 1: try to set up some games across Canada for fans
- 12:20Speaker 1: that are living really far away from Toronto.
- 12:24Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys, sit this one out. Let me cook
- 12:26Speaker 4: here real quick. You mentioned the games in Montreal. I
- 12:29Speaker 4: got a chance to go play in those games in Montreal.
- 12:31Speaker 4: I think we played the Mets one year and we
- 12:33Speaker 4: played the Cardinals one year, And how could I forget that?
- 12:37Speaker 4: That was we brought Vladimirica Guerrera on that trip. He
- 12:40Speaker 4: was seventeen, eighteen years old at the time. Hit a
- 12:44Speaker 4: walk off home run in the ninth inning. You talk
- 12:46Speaker 4: about loud stadiums, these were exhibition games in Montreal. These
- 12:50Speaker 4: fans are dying for baseball there and just for these
- 12:53Speaker 4: exhibition games, you know, fifty sixty thousand people. I don't
- 12:56Speaker 4: know what the stadium holds, but it was sold out
- 12:58Speaker 4: for both nights. We talk about a couple of these
- 13:01Speaker 4: other places, Vancouver would be the very obvious one. They
- 13:04Speaker 4: love sports there. I had a chance to play there
- 13:07Speaker 4: in the minor leagues for the Vancouver Canadians. Great baseball town.
- 13:12Speaker 4: But the best part about being a Toronto Blue Jay
- 13:15Speaker 4: is when you go to places like Minnesota, when you
- 13:17Speaker 4: go to places like Seattle, when you go to any
- 13:20Speaker 4: bordering state to Canada, you were getting those type of
- 13:25Speaker 4: fans that are coming to see you for the first
- 13:26Speaker 4: time and they were selling out those stadiums. And another
- 13:30Speaker 4: great part about being a Toronto Blue Jay is where
- 13:33Speaker 4: most teams do fan fest, which is typically just in
- 13:35Speaker 4: your city, which Toronto is now doing. The Blue Jays
- 13:39Speaker 4: are now doing fan Fest in Toronto, which they had
- 13:41Speaker 4: never done. When I always a member there, we would
- 13:43Speaker 4: caravan across the entire country. We would pick different places
- 13:47Speaker 4: across the country and everywhere you go there were Blue
- 13:51Speaker 4: Jay fans. There is so many great places. I've been
- 13:54Speaker 4: to Edmonton, I've been to Alberta, But if I had
- 13:56Speaker 4: to pick my number one destination, which is probably the
- 13:59Speaker 4: most beautiful place on Earth. It would be in bands.
- 14:03Speaker 4: It has to be in the summer because it gets
- 14:05Speaker 4: really really cold in the winter.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Okay, do they have capacity there to host you guys
- 14:10Speaker 1: or to host the Jays?
- 14:12Speaker 4: No, but they need to start working on that.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Now, what about what about Calgary? I'm looking at like,
- 14:19Speaker 3: what about.
- 14:20Speaker 4: I mean Calgary Calgary. I've been to Calgary. I've been,
- 14:23Speaker 4: I've been to a Flames game there and obviously passionate fans,
- 14:26Speaker 4: But Calgary is also home to one of the biggest rodeos,
- 14:30Speaker 4: the Calgary Stampede, in the summertime. What would be better?
- 14:33Speaker 4: There would be no better event for me personally than
- 14:36Speaker 4: going to Calgary in the summertime going to the rodeo,
- 14:40Speaker 4: which I've heard is just the most insanely fun, insane event.
- 14:44Speaker 4: Pairing that with a Blue Jays game, there you go.
- 14:48Speaker 4: This would be unbelievable for baseball, This would be unbelievable
- 14:51Speaker 4: for Canada, for Blue Jays fans. We gotta make it happen.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Calgary Stampede meets Toronto Blue Jay What a What a
- 15:01Speaker 4: week what a weekend?
- 15:02Speaker 2: I'm there, Hey, somebody hits a homer. Guy comes out
- 15:06Speaker 2: of the pin on the ball, right, like, let's go. Hell,
- 15:09Speaker 2: I mean it, it would be awesome, right, it would
- 15:12Speaker 2: be sweet. I would love to see it.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Hey, let me let me be a dreamer. I'm not
- 15:16Speaker 4: a logistics guy. I'm not building the stadiums. I'm not
- 15:19Speaker 4: feeling them out. Let me dream on this. So my
- 15:22Speaker 4: two places Colgary during the Stampede and then Banff and
- 15:27Speaker 4: do they have the facilities? Not my problem, I'm just dreaming.
- 15:30Speaker 4: That's right.
- 15:31Speaker 1: Yeah, you hire outsource it and it's not going to
- 15:34Speaker 1: be the group that did the Speedway Classic. No offense
- 15:36Speaker 1: to them, but they had culinary issues. I will say though.
- 15:39Speaker 1: On the field, it was super cool to watch that
- 15:40Speaker 1: event and it gets me thinking of how they did
- 15:43Speaker 1: the race car doing a lap for a home run.
- 15:46Speaker 1: That kind of stuff's cool.
- 15:47Speaker 4: I loved that.
- 15:48Speaker 1: I mean from a from a visual perspective, it was great.
- 15:52Speaker 4: So I'm all, I want to see more. I want
- 15:54Speaker 4: to see more. I think it's a shame that, you
- 15:56Speaker 4: know some of the issues, and obviously the fans are
- 15:58Speaker 4: really important. They need to be treated correctly, especially with
- 16:02Speaker 4: the rain delay. And you know, I was away, but
- 16:05Speaker 4: I was watching the game on TV and I'm seeing
- 16:08Speaker 4: kids in there. You know, sitting with their parents with
- 16:10Speaker 4: their ponchos on and the fact that the food situation
- 16:13Speaker 4: wasn't very good. I don't want to let that overshadow
- 16:17Speaker 4: from you know, at least my point of view being
- 16:19Speaker 4: at home and seeing it on TV. What a really
- 16:22Speaker 4: cool event, the first time we had Major League Baseball
- 16:24Speaker 4: in the state of Tennessee. We need more of that,
- 16:27Speaker 4: and we can't overdo it. We can't have it every weekend.
- 16:30Speaker 4: But I love these events.
- 16:32Speaker 1: I agree, I love them too. So if you're doing
- 16:34Speaker 1: this in Canada, I know they have great food at
- 16:37Speaker 1: the ballpark at Rogers Center, but what are you making
- 16:40Speaker 1: sure that you show off in a showcase event that
- 16:43Speaker 1: everyone would be watching in a different destination in Canada?
- 16:47Speaker 1: What's the go to out there?
- 16:49Speaker 4: I mean the obvious is the pootine. You gotta go
- 16:51Speaker 4: poutine for people that don't know pooftine. That's basically not choose,
- 16:55Speaker 4: but use French fries and you could pretty much put
- 16:58Speaker 4: whatever type of toppings on this. Yes, and you go
- 17:00Speaker 4: as basic as you want. You can go as extreme
- 17:03Speaker 4: as you want, but you know, for ballpark food, you
- 17:06Speaker 4: have to have poutine.
- 17:08Speaker 3: That was my favorite thing as a visitor. I will
- 17:10Speaker 3: ask the you know, the guys.
- 17:11Speaker 2: In the kitchen, like, hey, anyway you could have me
- 17:13Speaker 2: some poutine after the game, please, Maybe some bacon, maybe
- 17:18Speaker 2: a little beef on there, you know, whatever you want
- 17:21Speaker 2: some jalapenos.
- 17:22Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, you're right.
- 17:24Speaker 4: I mean I will take this kind of I mean
- 17:26Speaker 4: we're in the same you know, realm of conversation. But
- 17:28Speaker 4: do you guys have somewhere that you would like to
- 17:30Speaker 4: see a game played? You know, maybe aside from like Canada.
- 17:34Speaker 4: But like, I mean, the racetrack idea was good. Could
- 17:37Speaker 4: they do it in like Daytona, Florida? I mean, obviously
- 17:39Speaker 4: the racetrack thing has been done, but there's so many
- 17:41Speaker 4: other great creative ideas.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Scott, you go, I got one. Yeah, I mean I
- 17:46Speaker 1: have a bunch. But the one that stands out to
- 17:48Speaker 1: me because it's part of a bigger problem in our
- 17:50Speaker 1: sport is Omaha. I would love them to play a
- 17:53Speaker 1: baseball game in Omaha and have the draft there during
- 17:57Speaker 1: the College World Series. Why is it a good idea?
- 18:00Speaker 1: Because it was an idea that was actually discussed and
- 18:02Speaker 1: I think was going to happen, and then COVID kind
- 18:04Speaker 1: of ruined it, and then somehow we took it to
- 18:06Speaker 1: the All Star Game, where I think it gets overshadowed.
- 18:08Speaker 1: So I think it would crush out there. Obviously, there's
- 18:11Speaker 1: plenty of players that are getting picked from high school
- 18:13Speaker 1: and the fans that show up for the College World
- 18:15Speaker 1: Series don't necessarily know them. But there are plenty of
- 18:18Speaker 1: college starts. It's a way to elevate them. So I
- 18:20Speaker 1: think you make that a showcase, you make that part
- 18:23Speaker 1: of the College World Series experience, and you get a
- 18:25Speaker 1: game over there plus the draft and now you're talking.
- 18:27Speaker 1: I like that idea. I think that would be super cool.
- 18:29Speaker 1: What do you guys think that would be cool?
- 18:33Speaker 3: I think that would be sweet. I think that would
- 18:35Speaker 3: be awesome. That would be so.
- 18:37Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be awesome to kind of integrate everybody
- 18:39Speaker 2: and everything together.
- 18:40Speaker 3: That would be sweet.
- 18:41Speaker 2: But for me, I think playing for the Padre is
- 18:44Speaker 2: one thing that I really really love so much was
- 18:46Speaker 2: honoring our militaries, and for.
- 18:49Speaker 3: Me, I think a naval base, like I know you
- 18:51Speaker 3: have to get around.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Like some security stuff, but I think like if you
- 18:54Speaker 2: could somehow put a you know, stadium or build something
- 18:59Speaker 2: like they did, like do everywhere, you know a field
- 19:01Speaker 2: and do it on a naval base just to kind
- 19:03Speaker 2: of on our military. Maybe have you know, different branches
- 19:06Speaker 2: of our military show up as well as some fans.
- 19:08Speaker 1: You.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I'm sure it would be some security checkpoints you have
- 19:10Speaker 2: to go through, but I think that would be so
- 19:12Speaker 2: cool to do it on like a you know, on
- 19:14Speaker 2: the water or something crazy or you know, some type
- 19:18Speaker 2: of bass.
- 19:18Speaker 1: I'm with you in cam Obviously, it would be a
- 19:20Speaker 1: smaller event, so I would say, just keep the military
- 19:23Speaker 1: personnel to keep it right. You know, it's not it's
- 19:27Speaker 1: not a money maker, although the TV side would be
- 19:30Speaker 1: right so that that covers the event. But I think
- 19:32Speaker 1: that would be sick. I'm all for.
- 19:34Speaker 2: I think that would be awesome, Like maybe like on
- 19:36Speaker 2: the water, like that would be crazy.
- 19:38Speaker 4: I'm gonna you know, I'm a piggyback the because I'm
- 19:40Speaker 4: a big military guy, and I think we we owe
- 19:43Speaker 4: it to them to you know, do a game at
- 19:45Speaker 4: a Navy base and kind of highlight what they do,
- 19:48Speaker 4: you know, for us in order to play baseball, what
- 19:50Speaker 4: they do for a country. To piggyback that it needs
- 19:54Speaker 4: to be done in Hawaii because I would love to
- 19:55Speaker 4: see baseball in Hawaii. I love going to Hawaii. I
- 19:59Speaker 4: know it has got a rich culture of baseball. So
- 20:01Speaker 4: do the military game at a naval base in Hawaii.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Boom, done, amazing. That would be awesome. Yeah, yeah, and
- 20:11Speaker 1: we got it. Okay, we'll bring attention to it. We'll
- 20:13Speaker 1: do the show their live ft from Hawaii, Hawaii.
- 20:15Speaker 4: We got it.
- 20:16Speaker 1: Yeah. But I'm with you. I agree. I would love
- 20:18Speaker 1: to see a game out.
- 20:19Speaker 3: There, a k pre and post game. We got it.
- 20:22Speaker 1: It's done, done, done.
- 20:23Speaker 4: We'll do the Hawaii I'm there.
