Aaron Judge vs. Cal Raleigh MVP Debate · The 3-0 Take

0:00
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take where we talk
0:04
all things Major League Baseball.
0:06
Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
0:10
It all starts right now. Welcome back to the Three O Take
0:16
presented by Schnook Cedry this episode 542, I'll be your host,
0:21
Kyle Korne. I'm here with my Co host Nate
0:23
Reyes. Nate.
0:29
KC How are we? I'll be honest with you, my MVP
0:36
2005 dynasty is not off to a a banner start dusted off the old
0:45
OG Xbox said let's let's run it with a dynasty.
0:50
I I'm going to cut you off and think that there's probably not
0:55
a ton of dust on that. I mean, I, I, I break it out a
1:02
few times a. Year like I I don't know if it's
1:05
if it's around long enough. Literally, like probably during
1:08
baseball season I'll break it out, play a little MVPO 5, play
1:11
a little NC, double AO6, and then when the fall rolls around
1:15
a little. Depressed around like November
1:17
December range. Well, that's when I break out
1:20
College football 08 OK, so I'm I'm I'm covering my bases.
1:24
So you that's a that's a valid point.
1:26
Not too much dust on this thing. But anyway I started dynasty.
1:30
I left it up to our fantasy league said what what team you
1:35
want me to run it with? They said are they is that still
1:39
the devil rays on MVPO? 5I said it is that was the team
1:43
that was decided upon. I made my I, I did my fantasy
1:47
draft. And so right now the the team is
1:51
looking pretty solid, but we're off to an O and two start.
1:54
And in both games the Blue Jays took, believe it or not, Bob
2:00
Gibson, my ace, and Nolan Ryan, my #2 out to the woodshed in
2:04
both games. So.
2:05
That's tough, man. Where are you?
2:08
Are you playing on a certain difficulty?
2:10
MVP the Mac the the Max level. I'm proud of you for that.
2:16
I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to run it.
2:17
I'm going to try to run it 162. My plan was to set it at 3
2:21
innings and started the started the league and they were like
2:26
we're not giving you that option at the moment.
2:28
So I had to commit to 9 innings. So here we are.
2:33
I I feel like there's a fine line with I don't know where,
2:40
what at what age level that you pass where you change the
2:50
difficulty of a video game just because you need a freaking
2:54
break in life and you're like. Just I, I need a win man.
2:58
Just give me a win. I just need to enjoy this.
3:00
I don't need to throw my controller through the drywall,
3:04
you know what I mean? Like I don't know where that
3:08
that turning point is, but I feel like there is a turning
3:11
point eventually. Yeah, when the responsibility,
3:15
the like, the real life adult responsibility starts stacking
3:18
up, it's like those videos after a team loses a World Series and
3:21
you'll see the guy where he's like and it pans.
3:26
To the TV, it's like a yeah, it's a nothing in the third
3:30
inning. That's the kind of wins you
3:32
need, I guess once you once you crossover in your late 20s or
3:35
something, I don't know, but yeah.
3:38
That's why like I, I think I had to stop.
3:40
Not that like I was super into it.
3:42
It was mainly A COVID thing. But like Call of Duty online,
3:46
you're just like I, I, I bother 11 hours.
3:52
I don't need to get absolutely wrecked by an 11 year old in
3:56
Call of Duty like I did. I just, I need to enjoy
4:00
something. I just need some peace.
4:04
Well, to your point, that difficulty change might be
4:06
coming very soon because I mean, if I can't, if I can't win with
4:10
Bob Gibson rocking, rocking the 1998 devil race throwback uni, I
4:16
might add, or Nolan Ryan were in the alternate force green.
4:21
What what what? What else is that rotation
4:23
looking like? It's not great.
4:26
After that. It's like Tim.
4:27
I think Tim Wakefield's like my #3 yeah, it's, it's a little bit
4:32
of a steep fall off. I went heavy on the the aces
4:35
right out of the gate. It was like a draft draft.
4:37
Oh yeah, full finish draft. Got Yogi behind the dish?
4:41
Did you make yourself the first pick?
4:44
I did, yeah. You have to.
4:47
I was like, I'm in for, I'm in for a rude awakening here, so I
4:50
at least need to take the first pick.
4:52
Yeah. Willy MO Pena is my left
4:54
fielder. Dude, the names on this this
4:55
roster, Let me just run you around the diamond real quick.
4:57
I got Bob Gibson, my #1 Yogi behind the dish.
5:01
I got Shipper at 3rd. What's his name?
5:08
Was it Jimmy Rollins? No, he was he in that game.
5:14
That would have been his. Yeah.
5:15
Jimmy, I think Jimmy Rollins was much short stuff.
5:19
Yeah. That's The thing is some of
5:20
these guys like you think like, oh, Chipper Jones, like you got
5:23
to keep in mind like where this is at, where this is at in his
5:25
career. I think Jimmy Rollins is a
5:27
short. I got Pokey Reese at second.
5:30
I got, I think David Ortiz. No, he's my dhi.
5:35
Don't remember who I have at first left.
5:37
Willie MO Pena, Griffin center Orlando Cepeda.
5:42
Is it somewhere? Maybe he I guess he's my first
5:44
baseman. It's it's a pretty solid squad.
5:46
Doesn't sound like an on two team.
5:48
No, it's not. Drop that down the Hall of Fame
5:52
or whatever is below. MVP veteran.
5:56
Veteran probably we'll figure it out.
5:58
I'll I'll keep you guys updated, but let's talk let's talk
6:01
current events baseball here. Let's talk about the here and
6:03
now, not 2005. This MVP conversation has piqued
6:11
my interest and I know it's piqued yours because your guy is
6:15
one of the two names leading the charge in this ALMVP race and
6:18
Aaron Judge, but his counter in the race is a catcher out in
6:27
Seattle by the name of Cal Raleigh Nate.
6:31
Before we get into specifics here, gut reaction.
6:36
I would say take off your bias hat, but I that would be silly.
6:40
I know that this is going to play into it.
6:43
Gut reaction. Gut reaction.
6:45
When you hear somebody say Cal Raleigh has a case for the
6:49
ALMVP, what is your response? It's an understandable case, I
6:59
think. I I, I believe we've talked
7:03
about this a lot in the past, you and I, at least I do.
7:08
I don't know how you feel are in the camp that like the value to
7:15
the team holds a little bit more weight in my voting, right.
7:21
It's not entirely in that, but I think of like the value that
7:26
that specific player brings to that specific team.
7:32
I think that makes up a a solid chunk of it.
7:35
I think that's, I'm not going to say half, I'm going to say 33%
7:44
of my decision on the vote is the just sheer value of like, if
7:50
you take this guy out of the lineup, what does that do,
7:55
right? How successful is that team
7:58
without him? So that's where I think I
8:01
understand the argument for Cal Raleigh just 'cause obviously
8:08
it's not a super deep line up in Seattle.
8:12
Yeah, he's absolutely that offense.
8:14
He is like that offense without question.
8:16
He is obviously having his best season of his career, a lot of
8:25
power showing up like, like and and as a catcher.
8:28
I don't think that that's stressed enough how difficult
8:33
that is. Like, can I jump in?
8:37
Can I jump in real quick talk about talk about those numbers.
8:40
You're talking about career year.
8:42
And again, we're we're at the beginning of June.
8:45
So I understand that, you know, in order for this to to hold
8:48
true, he's got to pace this or pace this to even a slightly
8:53
lesser degree for this conversation be relevant.
8:55
But as of as it stands right now coming into today, Wednesday,
9:00
his 259 average is 36 points higher than his career average.
9:07
His OBP is 68 points higher, slugging is almost 200 points
9:17
higher, OPS220 give or take points higher.
9:21
And his OPS plus is his 189 OPS plus right now is significantly
9:28
higher than his career OPS mark of OPS plus mark of 121.
9:32
So to your point, I mean, and and we kind of knew this
9:35
already, but when you look at the just the simple county
9:38
numbers, you're like. Yeah, he.
9:40
Certainly does have a case. And and I do think that this if
9:46
if the season stops now, he's he's in the top three.
9:52
I think we really got to stress like as a catcher, it's just I
9:55
don't I don't know if that's truly understood.
9:58
Like, I don't know if we just like take numbers for granted at
10:02
times. I don't know if we remember.
10:07
And it's not like it's your hands, bro.
10:13
Like your hands are getting beat up over and over and over all
10:20
the time, No days off. Like, I, I don't think people
10:27
understand what it's like to catch 95 + 150 times in a game
10:35
and to still be able to hold a baseball bat and, and have some
10:41
pop in that swing. Like that's different.
10:45
That's very hard to do. There's a reason why offensive
10:48
catchers are a dime a dozen. There's a reason why they stand
10:53
out so much in the history of our game.
10:57
There's a reason why majority around the league, it's like
11:00
that. That's why they platoon guys.
11:02
That's why you have a 2 headed monster behind the dish to allow
11:05
those guys to have days off. It's not just, it's not like
11:08
knees, it's not like getting foul balls hit off of your, you
11:11
know, off your groin or off of your neck or like just missing
11:16
pads. It's like it's a combination of
11:18
that. It's the mental capacity of
11:20
having to handle an entire staff.
11:22
It's staying tapped in every single pitch.
11:26
And then it's also the physical, you know, attributes of like, I
11:29
got to keep my hands feeling good for hitting.
11:32
That's a very hard thing to do. I think catching is one of the
11:36
hardest positions in sports. I think it's definitely the
11:39
hardest position in baseball, however, and this isn't, this
11:48
isn't. Why you're you're going full
11:51
judge mode here? Can I just get one last note?
11:53
I'm not going to go full. Judge mode.
11:54
All I know is that like I just want you, you just read off how
11:58
much of A tick up his stats are from his career average.
12:04
When we get in to judge, I want you to read off the difference
12:09
in those categories between the two guys.
12:15
Look, I, I don't think any, nobody with with a brain is
12:22
disputing what Aaron Judge is doing this year.
12:25
And I'll just got spoiler alert, I still believe Aaron Judge to
12:29
be the leader in the clubhouse when it comes to MVP votes.
12:34
I understand that. Yeah.
12:37
But again, we had this conversation every year and
12:40
granted, for the longest time it was between it was a
12:44
conversation about Judge and Otani.
12:46
When we're talking about what does the V represent in MVP?
12:52
Like is it is it a, a player that actually it, it like serves
12:59
as a value to his team? Yeah.
13:03
Or is it just the guy that has the most home runs at the end of
13:06
the year? Because I feel like they're for
13:07
a stretch. That seemed to be what it was.
13:10
I mean, sure, it may be a little more nuanced to to in some.
13:13
Cases that that has the story to it.
13:15
Yeah, that it that. And maybe it wasn't the only
13:19
thing that they were leading in, but it was it was the one that
13:22
was most often talked about. However, this is a different
13:26
situation. We're not talking Judge and and
13:28
Otani coming out of the American League.
13:30
We're talking about Aaron Judge and a catcher.
13:33
Now, if you want to take the the traditional route and and dial
13:37
it back to maybe what they used to think MVP represented.
13:41
And it was it was about a guy who actually provided value to a
13:45
team. Cal Raleigh does that.
13:47
And I'm not saying Aaron Judge, Aaron Judge doesn't, but as a
13:51
catcher, we've and you've already touched on it, but you
13:55
have to do so much. I it's a challenging position,
14:00
arguably the the most challenging on a baseball
14:02
diamond. But it's not, it's not just that
14:06
Cal Raleigh is doing all of these, all of these things.
14:08
It's not that he's, he's hitting for power.
14:11
It's not that he's, he's leading.
14:13
He's he's managing A pitching staff.
14:15
It's not that he's he's a good defender.
14:18
He's doing all of these things at an exceptional rate like he
14:23
is a platinum, He is a platinum glove defender behind the dish.
14:28
We already know what he's doing offensively with the home runs,
14:31
the power, the OPS, plus all of that.
14:33
We know it, but and and he's he's doing all of this as a
14:38
catcher and at the very least given, given Aaron Judge a run
14:43
for his money. Now, how strong of a run you
14:46
want to look at or you want to, you want to label that as that's
14:49
up to you. But I think it's interesting
14:52
that as of June 4th, we're looking at Cal Raleigh as the,
14:57
the, the, the threat to Aaron Judge.
15:06
It's big numbers, so it's got 6 wipes by the way.
15:15
With that said, with that said, I read I.
15:17
Mean it's just it's tough when if if judge was hitting 280,
15:25
then yeah, I think this is a very different conversation.
15:30
I'm with you. I'm with you.
15:33
It's June 4th and he's hitting 390.
15:40
It's also June 4th and Cal Raleigh is pacing for like he's
15:44
on pace like 63 home runs or something like that, which I
15:53
look and look, I, I, as we speak, I'm looking at a
15:57
notification right now from our Facebook group, which by the
16:00
way, I don't, I feel like I've never plugged that on here maybe
16:03
once. Plug the heck out of it.
16:05
Check out our Facebook group. It's not, I'm not talking about
16:07
the page itself like the three O take, but we have a Facebook
16:10
group called Today in Baseball. It's a bunch of baseball fans in
16:13
there sharing posts that they come across, sharing interesting
16:16
facts, experiences, stories, pictures from the games they go
16:20
to. I'm looking at one right now
16:24
where somebody is requesting that we not have MVP
16:31
conversations in June. And look, I'm with you.
16:36
I understand it's early, but you have to think with with the
16:42
offensive prowess that Cal Raleigh brings to the table,
16:48
there's a very good chance we're going to be looking at an August
16:51
conversation where Cal Raleigh is still going to be in the top
16:55
three of the conversation. Maybe Bobby Witt finds a little
16:57
bit of a resurgence. Maybe he, you know, maybe maybe
17:00
jumps Cal Raleigh because he he. I mean, I think Jose Ramirez is
17:06
probably the next one that we need to discuss.
17:08
Well, I was looking at the betting or the, the, the, the
17:12
betting odds today and I think, I think they actually had Bobby
17:16
Witt some some vendor or some outlets had Bobby Witt like
17:20
second even above Cal Raleigh right now.
17:22
And I'm like, yeah, that's a little a little strong, but.
17:25
Not this year, not so far. But anyway, I think we could, I
17:29
think it could be August and it's a very realistic
17:33
possibility that Cal Raleigh is still in the conversation.
17:36
Top three for MVP race. That's all I'm saying.
17:40
But to your point, getting to the Aaron, Aaron Judges numbers
17:43
coming into today, Wednesday, he's hitting 38721 homers, which
17:48
is coming into today, two behind Cal Raleigh's 23.
17:52
He's got 50 RBIs on base, a 485, a slug of 757, his OPS is 1242
18:02
and his OPS plus is 248. He's already it's June 4th.
18:08
He's already accumulated 4.7 WAR.
18:15
It, it, I don't, I don't even think like it.
18:17
It's not a conversation of bias in any way.
18:19
Like I don't even need to be biased.
18:21
I think if it's, if it's just player A versus player B and if
18:25
we strictly look at numbers, that's a conversation.
18:28
And again, that's not my full conversation.
18:31
That's not the whole part of it. I do think that there's a chunk
18:35
of the conversation that has to go towards the value of the team
18:39
and being a catcher, being above average catcher, playing so
18:46
often, that's a big deal that has a lot of value.
18:50
So I don't want to discredit it. I don't think there's any need
18:53
to tear down Cal Raleigh in order to make the argument for
18:56
Aaron Judge and vice versa. I think it's just it's June 4th
19:06
and he's hitting 390. Like that's, that's something
19:09
that like he's he's found a new gear that like we're we're not
19:14
used to seeing like we're we're it's fine seeing a power hitter
19:19
who has a ton of strikeouts who hits 28290 and you're like,
19:25
that's a good MVP year. Like wow, like almost 300.
19:31
And then there's this. It is interesting though.
19:35
Yeah, I've heard you say multiple times already like it's
19:37
June 4th. It's so interesting as we're
19:40
having this conversation that in in one breath you can say it's
19:44
so early, it's only June 4th. How are we having an MVP
19:48
conversation already? But in some of these numbers,
19:51
it's like it's June. 4th in the same breath, you're like their
19:54
judge is hitting 387 on June 4th.
19:57
Like somehow it seems early, but it's also late for some of the
20:01
for some facets of this conversation.
20:03
It's very, it's very interesting, but.
20:05
I I will say, and we don't have to, you know, belabor this
20:08
conversation too much because again, it is early for the MVP
20:11
conversation itself. I just wanted to touch on it.
20:13
But I will say, I do feel like I don't feel like I owe him an
20:20
apology. But I will say that with the way
20:24
that this year has gone, building off of the historic
20:28
year he had last year and and even seasons prior, I feel like
20:34
I do need to revisit the best player in Major League Baseball
20:39
conversation a little bit like I I do.
20:43
I still think it's Shohei once he comes back as a pitcher and
20:49
is is putting up respectable numbers.
20:51
Assuming that's the case, I feel like that has to be the answer.
20:57
But as it stands right now, I mean, if you're just talking
21:00
hitting, like we're seeing things from Aaron Judge right
21:02
now that I don't think we've seen since like Barry Bonds.
21:06
Yeah, you're talking to near what was it is is on base is
21:10
480. 485. People, he's getting on base 48
21:17
1/2% of the time. We'll just call it a clean fit.
21:22
Let's just call it half the time.
21:23
He's getting on base half the time.
21:26
That's a big deal. Like, I don't care.
21:30
I don't care about with a number like that.
21:32
I don't care about advanced analytics.
21:34
I, I'm sorry if you like, I don't care how you're getting on
21:38
base if you're hitting like if you are getting on base half the
21:41
time you are providing value to your team.
21:44
End of conversation. And I think that's going to
21:47
continue to be something that holds that average up.
21:51
I think that average, I'm not going to say he's going to hit
21:53
380 plus for the season, but I think I think you can.
22:00
I don't think it's crazy to say that he's going to hit over 300,
22:04
potentially 320 this year. Like I don't think that's absurd
22:08
to just say, yeah, I I could see that happening because the walks
22:11
aren't going anywhere. He's clearly walking.
22:15
And until there is like a legitimate threat behind him in
22:22
the lineup, teams are going to continue to work around him.
22:25
So I don't think the walks are going anywhere.
22:28
That's valid point. The last thing that I was just
22:32
curious before we move on, I wanted to see what his splits
22:36
were. And you might you may even have
22:38
an idea. No, no, no months.
22:41
That's that's one of my like, like things I like nerding out
22:46
about like some people have certain stats that they like.
22:49
Yeah. But I, that's one of the things
22:51
for some reason that really intrigues me is how a guy's
22:55
season trajectory plays out over, you know, a month by month
22:59
basis. And I'm, I'm trying to pull up
23:03
what his, what his career splits are for the month.
23:10
So average he drops over his core over the course of his
23:16
career. He drops from a 330 hitter in
23:19
May to a 290 hitter in June, and then July goes drops to 289.
23:26
So just a point. August 279, September, October
23:30
275 S. History would tell you it's
23:35
going to only go down from here, but.
23:38
And he's he's been slumping a little bit.
23:40
But to your point, you know, if he's going to be pitched around
23:43
that might, you know, buy him some ABS, if you will, maybe
23:47
props up that average a little more than he would if if he had
23:51
somebody behind him. But yeah, anyway, yeah, let
23:54
putting a bow on the the whole ALMVP thing again, I know it's
23:57
June, but it, it's at the very least it's worth giving props to
24:02
Cal Raleigh for having just, I mean, we know again, we know
24:06
what Aaron Judge is doing. But if nothing else, if you take
24:08
nothing else away from this conversation conversation, the
24:11
fact that Cal Raleigh is doing this as again, not like a
24:16
slightly below league average catcher, he is doing this at an
24:20
elite level. Yeah, my last thing and then we
24:24
can move on that specifically. And and I it's I think it's just
24:32
important to like remind yourself that like don't take
24:36
this Aaron Judge offensive season for granted and just like
24:41
shit, like throw an umbrella of like, oh, he's doing great.
24:44
Like, let's not look like pay attention to what the numbers
24:49
are, are saying, because it's not normal.
24:53
You're not you don't see this every year, much less
24:55
consecutive years, much less someone in their, you know, 30s.
24:59
So something that I like consider, but my last question
25:03
and then we can move on. How I, I'm not saying team
25:07
success is like a huge important factor, but like if the Mariners
25:12
slide and maybe miss the playoffs, like does that sway
25:16
your, your vote personally on an MVP?
25:20
And I don't, I don't think team success is a big part of what
25:23
we're talking like percentages of what makes up an MVP vote.
25:28
I'm I'm putting like maybe 10%. Sure, I here's my.
25:33
Take on a team success then. Here's my take.
25:35
I think we're at a point in the game now, and maybe this is just
25:38
me, maybe I'm maybe I'm on an island here, but I think team
25:43
success in the year 2025, or really we'll just call it like
25:47
the twenty 20s, we're at a we're at a point in the game now where
25:50
I feel like team success can only it's not going to serve as
25:55
a detractor. It's only going to add to a
25:58
narrative if the team is doing well.
26:01
Like in Cal Raleigh's situation, he's going to get a little bit
26:05
of a bias bump at the end of the season.
26:08
If the Mariners somehow figure out a way to to run away with
26:11
this division, they're going to go look at what he'd look at
26:14
what Cal Raleigh did. He put the literally put the
26:16
entire team on his back, on his on his rear big dumper and took
26:22
him, led him to a division crown.
26:26
But if they finish in 3rd place, I don't think anybody's going to
26:30
point to Cal Raleigh and be like, well, if he did, if he
26:32
performed a little better, maybe they would have finished second
26:34
or even won the division. Yeah, I.
26:36
Don't know, 'cause he, like we said, he is like he, he is the
26:40
Mariners right now. Right.
26:41
And I and I know that I don't we don't need to pull this thread.
26:44
I I know the AL. East No, no.
26:46
Last thing. Last thing.
26:48
As the AL West and then like, I don't need to go down that road.
26:53
I don't think it's fair to go like apples to apples between
26:56
the Yankees and the and the Mariners.
26:57
It's just it's just different. But it is something that I'm I
27:01
think I put a little value into team success.
27:05
And I think it does lose its luster a little bit.
27:08
But we saw Shohei, you know, winning in an Angels uniform and
27:14
and not make it to the playoffs. We saw Trout do the same thing
27:16
like I. Have so it's.
27:18
I don't think it's a huge part of the equation.
27:22
Last thing and then we'll move on.
27:23
No, no, I'm, I'm done. We're we're talking.
27:25
We're talking. Jack Caglione now called up this
27:28
week and made his debut. My days are getting mixed up.
27:32
Was that last night debut last night?
27:35
I believe Tuesday, yeah 'cause they they were off Monday, yeah,
27:39
yeah. So Tuesday over 5.
27:44
But did you see the numbers behind?
27:47
Do you see some of the numbers behind his ABS last night He he
27:55
had OK, so 4 out of the five balls that he hit were 96 plus
28:03
on expecting. Expecting battery average is
28:05
huge. Then Oh yeah, yeah, he I think
28:09
he, I think his finally B was 113.1 miles an hour.
28:14
Oh, I did. In his debut.
28:17
Yeah, I was going to say. He achieved the fourth highest
28:22
exit V low of all Royals hitters this season in one game.
28:27
This is why this needed to happen.
28:29
This is why we were, everybody was calling for this to happen.
28:33
And granted, I like I say that with like a little bit of
28:37
frustration because it was like, what are we doing?
28:40
But I look at the Royals and I'm like, OK, well, at least you
28:43
pulled the trigger. I'm sitting here thinking about
28:45
my Red Sox and wondering why Roman Anthony is annihilating
28:50
the AAA level and is still in AAA.
28:53
So, you know, I can only get so frustrated with the Royals for
28:57
for quote UN quote like mishandling this.
29:00
It sounds like, you know, maybe they went a little longer than
29:03
they would have liked, but good on them for actually pulling up
29:08
a guy that's going to help the team and and help specifically
29:12
the offense that, as we've talked about, is one of the
29:14
worst in baseball. Yeah, I did see.
29:19
I think I saw. Was it his first at bat that he
29:21
had that fly out to right center?
29:23
That was like deep? Yeah, like against the wall.
29:26
Yeah, yeah. Like shade to the right center,
29:29
Victor Scott snagged it, robbed him of extra bases.
29:34
That was that was a good swing. And that was the other thing
29:37
that impressed me in, in watching his ABS is and this, I
29:41
feel like this was sort of the description or the, the scouting
29:46
report, if you will, of, of, of him and the minors and really
29:51
just throughout his like amateur career, I guess you could say is
29:56
he just seemed like calm. His demeanor is so calm, a slow
30:01
heartbeat. He didn't look overpowered in
30:04
his in his ABS in his debut. Like his hands were still quick.
30:09
He was still getting the balls. And as as I just said, he was
30:13
hitting them hard, like hard contact.
30:17
But that's got that's got to be so encouraging for the Royals to
30:20
know that like this guy is not going to shy away from from the
30:26
the spotlight that that the Major League level brings.
30:32
So good for good for him. And I'm I'm hoping he can.
30:35
I don't even they're playing at night, I believe.
30:38
So I don't even know what he's got.
30:40
Postponed. Oh, did he get?
30:41
Did he get? Postponed.
30:42
Well, hope hopefully he can he can notch his hit his first hit
30:47
soon, but I'm thinking one of his first hits just like it's
30:51
got to be a tank, right? I mean, that's just.
30:54
I mean, it takes gangster hacks dude.
30:56
I mean, there's, there's only, I feel like there's only so many
30:58
guys when you get called up that you can say that about.
31:00
He's one of them. Yeah, those are those are daddy
31:04
hacks. He does.
31:06
He just it looks very, very good.
31:09
He he looks like a star, but he's got the make up of a star,
31:15
the demeanor of a star. Like you were saying, I like a
31:20
good number. I don't know what it is about
31:23
debuts, but I like a good number on the jersey and 14 is a good
31:28
number. It's not a great number, but it
31:30
is a good number. That's a football number, but
31:32
I'll take. It in baseball, it's better than
31:38
like anything 30 and above, you know what I mean?
31:41
I'm not kind of out on what is. Yeah, Marcella Myers wearing 39,
31:46
which I'm like. Bro.
31:48
Come on. Awful and we know the story of
31:51
the Yankees. So like any time I see a young
31:53
guy come up, I'm like, oh, number 89.
31:58
So I 14 solid. I like 14.
32:01
I he bro just looks good in a uniform.
32:05
I'm not going to lie. He just, he's a good looking
32:07
cat. I he just, he's got all the
32:10
makeup, man. I don't know.
32:12
I haven't. It's a handsome fell.
32:14
I haven't seen enough of like his like interviews or, you
32:17
know, like anything like that. I'm curious if if like if he's
32:24
quite like, I think Bobby Witt's quiet, but at the same time like
32:29
his, he's got drip. Well, let's not go slander and
32:35
Bobby our guy Bobby. Witt.
32:37
I'm saying like Bobby Witt's like quiet, but like has.
32:39
Drip. I thought you were talking about
32:41
Jack. I got.
32:41
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bobby for sure.
32:42
Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
32:44
I don't know what Jack Hagley, I don't know what that's like.
32:48
I don't I don't know if he's a little louder.
32:50
I don't know if he's a little more confident.
32:52
I don't know if he's he's got like no drip and just like all
32:56
like he seems. Like a classic Who's who's was
33:01
that? Teddy Roosevelt.
33:08
Teddy Teddy Roosevelt speak softly and carry a big stick
33:12
that seems like kind of where Jack Caglione that's.
33:14
What I was wondering, yeah, like.
33:17
I've been I would venture to say the confidence is a pretty high.
33:23
This is just from what I've like the the very limited things I've
33:28
seen on Jack so far. But I would venture to say that
33:31
the confidence is more apparent with Jack versus Bobby.
33:36
Like it would take you a while to really get to the heart of
33:40
Bobby's confidence in a conversation with him.
33:42
Like it would take him a while to really open up.
33:45
Like, yeah, I know I'm like literally one of the greatest
33:47
players in the game. He wouldn't say that.
33:49
And I'm not saying Jack would either.
33:51
But I feel like if he, if both of them were to walk into a
33:54
room, I feel like Jack is going to maybe maybe steal the show a
33:58
little bit more from like a aura perspective.
34:01
It's. A presence that's a big boy.
34:03
That is a big boy. I don't know if this has been
34:08
discussed at any point recently. So pitching's just dead?
34:14
That's just like officially pitching is just like out of the
34:19
Royals. What context here?
34:20
Are we talking just a general statement, pitching's dead, or
34:25
for Jack? Like it's just like the option
34:28
of him getting off again. Yeah.
34:30
Sorry, I was not tracking with you there.
34:32
You're saying specifically for Jack?
34:34
Yeah. Those days are just done.
34:38
It's kind of sad. It is sad, like it definitely
34:41
gave us some fun headlines, but maybe the Royals just look at
34:44
this like and I'm not I'm not saying he's show hey, but it
34:49
might be a similar. There might be a similar, albeit
34:53
more premature conversation going on here as is happening in
34:58
LA with the Dodgers and show, Hey, being like, hey, look, we
35:02
could do this, but do we need to?
35:05
Should we do we need to push the envelope here or can we just be
35:09
happy with the offense that we know we're going, that we know
35:11
we're going to get from this guy?
35:14
And again, I know he literally Jack just made his debut.
35:17
I understand that. But if, if, if it if everything
35:20
pans out the way that it's supposed to, he's going to be an
35:25
offensive threat in this league for some time to come.
35:30
And maybe they just don't want to mess with that.
35:31
I don't. It's hard to say.
35:32
It's understandable. I don't, I don't hate on it.
35:35
I just, it would have been nice to see, you know?
35:41
Hey, I'm with you, man. I'm with you.
35:46
Let's you want to talk about some dudes that have been some
35:50
dudes that been deserving of some credit it's.
35:57
That sound? Let's talk credit.
36:04
Cannon Junior Caminero's hitting 395.
36:11
That's seventeen hits, including six homers, 18 ribbies, and an
36:16
OPS of 1412. And just as a cherry on top,
36:20
thirteen runs scored in his last 11 games.
36:23
Again, that's a 395 average over his last 11 games coming into
36:28
Wednesday. And fun little nugget here that
36:30
I came across. Am I, am I digging around?
36:32
Courtesy of Foul Territory TV on Twitter, Junior Caminero is
36:37
batting 625 off of relief pitchers over the last 14 days,
36:41
which is the best in the American League, which makes me
36:45
wonder like if that's just the American League like who's the
36:49
who's higher than that in the National League?
36:52
That's. A good point.
36:56
That's a good question. Is that like a show hey
36:59
situation? Are we talking like a Luis arise
37:02
situation? Like am I overthinking this or
37:05
or? What?
37:06
No, it's a valid question. I don't know either way.
37:12
Stud good for this young young man.
37:14
There's only stud one dude. Yeah, that talk about
37:18
confidence, by the way. 14 jacks on the year coming into the day.
37:24
Love that good good ballpark to hit in so far.
37:27
OPS 811 OPS plus the 1:28. Yeah, that we knew.
37:31
The pop is there. It's just swinging this stuff.
37:34
Some discipline. Kids good though.
37:38
Kids real good. Speaking of good, Max Muncie's
37:43
hitting 324. That's twelve hits, including
37:47
six homers, 17 rubies and a 1248 OPS over the last 15 days.
37:55
Shout out Jacob in the chat. What's up Jacob?
37:58
Welcome, by the way, shout out to all of the all all of you
38:01
hanging out in the chat with us tonight on this.
38:04
Love the chat? Wednesday Night Live stream the
38:07
Max Muncie. When did this start?
38:11
Was this the Mets series when it started taking off?
38:20
So I know he did his thing against the Yanks.
38:23
Well, he. So here's the thing with Max
38:25
Muncie. And if you've been following him
38:29
at any point, you know that he's made some switches when it comes
38:33
to his eyes. Yeah, but we know he's been
38:36
wearing glasses, but did he also get, did he get surgery at some
38:40
point? I thought I heard, I thought it
38:41
was just the glasses, but I. Think it was probably both.
38:46
Well I feel like if you got surgery it would eliminate the
38:48
need for glasses, but I feel like I just saw him wearing
38:50
glasses the other day. Maybe not.
38:52
Surgery is kind of overrated. I've heard some success stories
38:59
from the from. The a lot of failure stuff.
39:01
So, Well, to be fair, I've I've been blessed with good eyes.
39:05
Dad got the LASIK years ago and said it was one of the greatest
39:09
decisions he ever made, so I can only imagine how much something
39:13
like that would impact a Major League hitter.
39:16
But courtesy underdog MLB on Twitter, without glasses he was
39:22
hitting 180 zero home runs and had 34 strikeouts. 04 RB is 34
39:29
strikeouts with glasses, which by the way, 28 without, 29 with.
39:35
OK, perfect. He went from hitting 180 to now
39:40
hitting 275. Zero homers to 8 homers. 4
39:46
ribbies to 30 ribbies. 34 strikeouts to 18.
39:52
I mean, if there was pudding, there'd be proof in it.
39:55
It's crazy what being able to see can do for you, not just as
40:00
a Major League like we talked about, but just as a human
40:02
being. True, very true.
40:05
I mean you can do a lot of stuff if you can see.
40:07
Yeah, homies locked and. Good on Max.
40:12
Just makes that line up even deeper.
40:17
It's a good bought like this is a good run for him too.
40:19
He needs it like he's hitting like that span or the the 15 day
40:25
span that I told you where he's hitting 324, six homers, He's a
40:29
2, He's a 228 career hitter and he's had a little bit of a down
40:37
year based on the certain metrics that you might look at.
40:43
OPS is down on bases down, OPS plus is down.
40:48
So he needed this. This is this is big for big for
40:51
Max, big for the Dodges, who by the way, are fighting off.
40:56
Again, it's early, I know, but they're fighting off the pods
41:03
were only a game back coming into today.
41:06
How about it? I'm sure Sante.
41:11
How about it? Next up, Addison Barger making
41:17
his credit cannon debut coming into today for and I don't I
41:25
think the Jays game actually just ended on a walk off.
41:29
I think it was Alejandra Kirk actually.
41:31
I don't know if he got one, but coming into the day 4
41:35
consecutive games with a Homer. He went out for 4:00 today.
41:41
That yeah, I think I saw his last at bat and he was over
41:43
three at that point. So yeah, I guess I didn't miss
41:46
anything. Courtesy of just Baseball on
41:50
Twitter. No one in the AL has a better
41:52
hard hit percentage since May 1st than Addison Barger in that
41:56
time slashing 299 three 7567 with an OPS of 937, six homers,
42:04
163 weighted runs created plus and a 1.5 F 4.
42:10
Deese, deese, Deese. I mean Toronto seven and three
42:16
in their last ten man. 2nd place in the East.
42:19
Like that's. Only 6 pack.
42:22
There's a lot of people out there that had them pretty low
42:26
on the list. No, they suck.
42:29
They suck. If, if, if this, if the theme of
42:32
this episode is it's June. It's so early.
42:37
I think we can apply that line of thinking to the Blue Jays and
42:42
saying, you know, what is little run has been cute.
42:45
The fact that they're only 6 pack in the in a pretty crappy E
42:49
Great, awesome. But this is I mean, go ahead,
42:55
write it, etch it in stone. Save this receipt.
42:59
I know, Nate, you're big in you're big in receipts.
43:02
Now go ahead and Sharpie it. The Jay.
43:04
This is this is not going to pan out to be anything that we
43:10
haven't seen for the last however many seasons.
43:14
This is the Jays of old will return.
43:18
Wow. But not if Addison Barger has
43:23
anything to say about it. So good.
43:25
Good for him. And lastly here, Andrew Abbott
43:31
of the Cincinnati Reds, outside of today's little fart start
43:39
where he gave up five against the Brewers from May 6th, from
43:48
May 6th to May 30th, was 3 and O with an ERA of .63 and 30
43:53
strikeouts across 5 starts. His best start in that span was
43:57
actually against the National League's best Chicago Cubs where
44:03
he went 7 innings, only gave up one hit, had zero in runs and
44:07
eight KS. And that was actually the start
44:09
before this far to start today. So that that was back.
44:14
That start against the Cubs was May 30th.
44:16
So been looking very, very sharp for the Reds.
44:21
So you love to see that, especially considering the fact
44:24
that Hunter green, which I forgot to even include that in
44:27
my notes, but Hunter Green back on the shelf with a re
44:30
aggravated groin injury. You don't like to see that.
44:33
I don't like to see that, man. Like I was feeling really good
44:37
about my Cy Young pick, but dude just can't, can't stay on the
44:42
bump. Cannot.
44:45
Hard to win an award when you're not playing, you know?
44:47
It's true. It's true.
44:49
It's hard. To get so I've been.
44:50
Told fired for you. So I've been told.
45:00
How you doing guy? The Rockies, well, I mean, can
45:06
we gig? I, I guess we go ahead and give,
45:09
give it to him, the Colorado Rockies.
45:11
I just man. Wow, that I don't even know if
45:15
you heard, but even not. It like cocked it, Yeah, it was
45:18
like didn't fire. Which actually is very fitting
45:21
for if we're going to give the credit card to the Rockies, I'd
45:23
give you a little false start there.
45:25
OK, I'm glad you heard that because I thought I was the only
45:27
one. Rockies sweep the Miami Marlins,
45:33
their first series win of the year.
45:36
It's actually their first series win dating back to September
45:41
16th through 18th of last year. First, the D backs.
45:50
Look, I know we just shot the cannon for the Rockies, but this
45:54
is less about the accomplishment on behalf of the Colorado
45:57
Rockies and more of a what are you doing?
46:01
Miami Marlins? How do you how do you let A-Team
46:05
come in and get their 10th, 11th and 12th wins of the season in
46:10
again, early June? If we're going to label this
46:15
episode title this episode, we're just going to call it,
46:17
it's June. How are you going to let A-Team
46:20
come in in June and get their 10th, 11th, 12th wins and just
46:27
go on about your day, not fire somebody, not burn the stadium
46:30
down? How do how do you let that
46:31
happen? Miami Marlins That That's
46:33
pathetic. I mean, they're also an
46:35
embarrassing organization. That's pathetic.
46:37
I mean, we know this, but to get swept, I know, I know crazier
46:44
things have happened in baseball, but my goodness, they
46:48
they didn't even have double digit wins.
46:50
The Rockies didn't even have double digit wins coming into
46:52
your ballpark when they when they when they arrived via plane
46:56
or train or limo. I don't know how they arrived to
47:00
the park. Hold on, I want to do something
47:03
a little fun here. Keep oh boy, keep stalling for
47:05
me. By the way, going dating back to
47:08
that mark that I mentioned, September 16th through the 18th
47:12
of last year, their last series win, this sweep snaps a streak
47:17
of 22 straight series losses. 22 You have to be so it goes
47:26
without saying, but you have to be so bad to not even luck into
47:30
winning a series in that amount of in that amount of series.
47:33
That's crazy. What do you got?
47:37
Based on the ESPN app, can you guess the total attendance of
47:44
the three games? Oh, I OK, so I did.
47:48
You already saw some. No, I, I saw the first game on
47:52
Friday 'cause that was the, the picture.
47:54
I don't know if you saw but there was like a picture
47:56
floating around viral or whatever it.
47:58
Seemed well above what was shown in the picture.
48:03
You know what I mean? Like the number, right?
48:05
Yeah, way higher than. OK, so, well, the picture I saw
48:09
somebody had like tweeted out, I'm, I'm guessing at this point
48:12
it's sarcastically, but they're like 157 people.
48:16
Tonight's Marlins, Rockies game. I didn't even think twice about
48:19
it until I saw the actual number.
48:21
I was like, that totally makes sense.
48:23
I'm looking at this picture right now.
48:25
There's probably about little, little under 200 people here.
48:29
And then it came out reported that it was like 3500 or
48:32
something. I'm like that's just wrong.
48:35
Yeah, well, I'm going off the ESPN app just because it was the
48:39
quickest. So give me the give me a guess
48:42
on the total for the three games.
48:47
I'm probably way off here, but I, I would guess that their
48:51
highest total would have been Friday, because people have
48:55
things to do on the weekend. Like I, I, I know Friday night
48:58
is the weekend. Like, yeah, like you've got the
49:01
like, Saturday, Sunday, Saturday.
49:03
You're trying, yeah. You're trying to take care of
49:04
home projects. Sunday.
49:06
You're trying to like, wind down for the week.
49:07
You're not trying to go watch a combined, like 30 wins of
49:13
baseball being played. Actually, how many?
49:19
How many wins of the Rockies got?
49:22
They're 11 and 50. OK, so like 30?
49:25
Four wins. No 12 and 50. 12 and 50 Sorry I
49:29
was looking at the last. Yeah, so I was close. 35 wins
49:33
between the two of them. Yeah, so I'm guessing Friday
49:36
night was actually the the big ticket game.
49:39
Wrong. Saturday.
49:42
Yeah, nothing makes sense with the Marlins, man, I swear.
49:45
My goodness. OK, if that that Friday game was
49:48
35, I'm going to say like I'm going to say like 13,000 over
50:04
the weekend. According to ESPN, it was, it
50:09
was 19,738. We had 5894.
50:15
So I don't know what the 3500 number was.
50:17
I don't know where these numbers I think I saw.
50:20
That. I thought I did too, but the
50:23
five 894 on Friday, 7583 on Saturday, 6261 on Sunday, it's.
50:34
Quality baseball. Am I saying the right days, by
50:36
the way, days of the week? I'm not.
50:38
It's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I don't know what I'm making up.
50:41
You messed me up with the weekends.
50:43
Oh, you're so right. That's on me.
50:47
Hey, I'll take the. Monday.
50:49
I'll take the. Start of this series.
50:52
That's that's on me. I got confused.
50:59
He he threw me off. He threw a wrench in there.
51:03
Yeah, that's amazing. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
51:05
The series just ended today. Yesterday, Today.
51:13
What's today? What's Wednesday?
51:15
Yeah, the sweep. The sweep happened today,
51:17
Wednesday. Sweep happened yeah.
51:18
So yeah, 19,000 people that I did see the TikTok of like this
51:25
group of guys, you know those like 5050 tickets that you can
51:29
buy yes, there's a guy that bought like 2050 fifty tickets.
51:38
I don't know if you won or not. I'm going to have to look back,
51:40
but like of what are the chances?
51:42
That you, I mean you got to, but then again, like your chances
51:45
are better, but the payouts going to be garbage.
51:48
He spent like he spent like $400.00 in the 5050 raffle
51:52
thing. Imagine losing that.
51:58
No disrespect, No disrespect. Disrespect.
52:01
Rockies suck. The Marlins suck.
52:03
No disrespect. No disrespect.
52:09
Speaking of sucking, the Padres suck for thinking they're just
52:13
going to come in and snatch up Jaron Duran.
52:15
I'm not a fan of this. Yeah, fill me in on this.
52:19
What's this? About No, there's just there was
52:21
reported that the Padres were interested in Jaron Duran and
52:26
this actually dates back to I think what year is it, 2025?
52:30
Yeah, dates back to last year. Like they were, they were
52:34
apparently checking in on him last year as well.
52:36
So they've liked him for some time.
52:38
I've liked him for some time. Big, big Jaron Duran guy the
52:41
last couple these last couple years.
52:44
I I'm probably on record as having said at one point like I
52:51
I would be OK parting ways with Jaron Duran, but this was
52:55
before. That's crazy to say all that.
52:59
No. Well, my reasoning was that I
53:01
just didn't. I knew he was like, I know he's
53:05
good, but I'm, I'm looking at what he did last year and I'm
53:08
just like we. Can't.
53:10
Was that the peak? Yeah, like we can't fall victim
53:14
victim to thinking that this this, this is going to be the
53:19
normal moving forward. Like this is the normal moving
53:23
forward. We just can't, however.
53:27
OK, sorry, keep going. No, I was just going to say
53:29
however, like he's had an obviously as you would expect,
53:35
numbers are are down from last year even I think defensively as
53:39
well has since I've been moved over to the left.
53:43
But like comparatively like he's like he's putting up a probably
53:47
a better year then I would have anticipated being the bounce
53:54
back otherwise, if that makes sense.
54:00
What I was going to say is, isn't he also one of those
54:02
sneaky guys that like kind of late, late bloomer than you
54:06
would guess? Well, that, well, yeah, I was
54:09
thinking you're talking like in terms of the season itself, but
54:12
like, because like offensively people are pointed like his lack
54:15
of power. But if you look at what he did
54:16
last year, he didn't, he didn't start popping off with power
54:20
until the second-half of the year anyway.
54:22
In fact, I'm pretty sure he was at this point in time last year,
54:25
he was pretty close in terms of homers, maybe off by like a
54:29
couple, two or three. But yeah, he like last year, he
54:34
was like an he was like an MVP conversations and was comparable
54:40
at this point of the year last year.
54:41
So anyway, yeah, Padres, Padres, yeah.
54:49
And at a much like larger level, at a macro level, to your point,
54:53
yeah, late bloomer, but I'm here for it.
54:55
And Padres can just go ahead and keep on moving it down the line,
54:59
looking, looking elsewhere. Just got three more years of
55:06
control. Why trade him that's.
55:09
Yeah, Speaking of just free, Speaking of control, I think
55:17
Paul Skeens is really wishing that the whole years of control
55:23
thing was like a myth or just didn't exist, because he's
55:29
probably hating life right now. And I'll tell you why.
55:32
This is his second start. In the last four starts where he
55:40
has gone, 8 Indians gave up a single run, not plural singular
55:47
run and lost the game. And look, I know people are go
55:54
with win loss records don't matter for pitchers.
55:57
If I'm Paul Skeens and I'm going out there and giving you.
56:01
It matters to them. That's what Indians, right?
56:05
Eight Indians of one run ball on multiple occasions and I'm
56:12
getting handed the loss. Yeah, it's going to all.
56:16
Even if it didn't matter to me before, like even in college,
56:18
it's going to matter to me now because that's pitiful.
56:22
I'd like to know if there was like some type of interaction
56:25
between him and degrom and there was just like a Space Jam thing
56:30
of like just spreading it. It's contagious.
56:35
Yeah, Paul Skeens was like, we were just talking like pitch
56:38
grips or whatever. He's he's like, show me your
56:40
grip. He had the Skeens had the ball
56:43
in his hand and then Jacob degrom grabs it.
56:46
And then all of a sudden they both light up.
56:48
And then you see this transfer of power or that's right, I
56:51
guess lack thereof because, well, no, it's not even it's not
56:55
even a lack of power. Skeens is doing what Skeens is
56:57
doing. It's the bums around him.
56:59
They can't figure out a way to win.
57:01
And by the way, I think I saw the night that they they shut
57:03
they put up a shut out. So I'm like, OK, go figure the
57:07
neck the next night we can hold them score the held the Astros
57:10
scoreless. Whatever Scrubs guy can't wait
57:14
to talk extension. I think it's time to get rid of
57:18
the Pirates button, the Jolly Roger button, that music.
57:24
I think it's, I think we have to replace it with something else.
57:26
Don't play it. I mean, just as a way to like
57:32
honor. It's like the last time, not the
57:37
whole thing, right? RIP.
57:43
Yeah, they don't even get the beat drop or they don't even get
57:46
the the crescendo. They're they're not worthy of
57:48
that. RIP they didn't even get a.
57:50
Quarter. Curious to see what you replace
57:52
it with. Yeah, I'll have to think on
57:55
that. That's interesting.
57:56
I really like that button. I'll be honest with you, I.
57:59
Know. It's truthfully it's turned into
58:02
the Paul Skeens button like it it lost the Pirates button
58:06
privileges. It's.
58:07
Got to be returned. Months ago.
58:11
What a shame. We could do this for every every
58:14
every quality start that he loses and play the song.
58:20
Yeah, oh, another 88 inning effort by Paul Skeens.
58:22
Another loss. The Button's going to get
58:24
overused, yeah. According to What did we settle
58:29
on? Is it codify?
58:30
Codify baseball. I want to I want to go with
58:33
codify because codify codify sounds it makes me
58:37
uncomfortable. I think that's.
58:40
I think that is the correct pronunciation, but I'm not.
58:42
I'm not great with. I I'd like to think a guy named
58:45
Cody started it and that's what he's going for.
58:48
Chances are very slim, but we'll go with it.
58:50
According to Codify Baseball on Twitter, Paul Skeens has allowed
58:53
nine only 19 earned runs and 13 starts this year, but the
58:58
Pirates have lost eight of those games.
59:02
Keep it up. Black and yellow, keep it up.
59:05
I'm not going to name names, but there's people in our circle
59:08
that believe that he's open to an extension.
59:13
That could not be a bigger lie. I'm sorry, I don't know, I, I
59:18
don't know what kind of, what kind of drugs, illicit drugs.
59:21
They're they're floating around up there in, in Pittsburgh, but
59:26
get off them because Paul Skeads is going elsewhere.
59:29
Has to step in, it's our last hope and will be Has to step in,
59:32
force the sale. Insane.
59:34
Last thing on that your guy Justin Havens, Nugget chef on
59:39
Twitter. Paul Skeens is the first pitcher
59:41
since Pedro Martinez in 2000 to lose twice in a season and
59:45
starts of eight plus innings. One or zero earned runs or just
59:49
runs general one or zero walks and eight KS.
59:54
Yeah, I hate to see it. That sounds like a team I want
59:59
to sign up a long term commitment for.
1:00:03
Anyway, that's all I got. Let's have a let's have a
1:00:09
weekend folks. Let's that's Wednesday crap.
1:00:12
Yeah, he's up on that. I got, I got a fun one.
1:00:16
Did you see the Cole Young kid with Seattle?
1:00:19
The debut. Yes, I did.
1:00:22
Call up video. Call up video was great.
1:00:25
Incredible and then the debut gets his first knock and then
1:00:30
gets his first RBI and let's we don't need it.
1:00:33
We don't need to talk about what it was.
1:00:35
You know, it's just a little rollover dinker to 1st baseman,
1:00:40
but still a walk off to like to celebrate.
1:00:43
Yeah. To your It's your debut.
1:00:46
You're celebrating your jersey ripped off.
1:00:49
You get the cooler dump at the end of the game, you get the
1:00:52
interview like. Well, I did that TikTok about
1:00:54
it, one of the better call up videos.
1:00:56
Like I mean, most call up videos are great, but that was one of
1:01:00
the better ones I've seen. Dude.
1:01:01
Like when when you get emotional when the parents are on the
1:01:03
call. Yeah, getting emotional, yeah.
1:01:06
All in all, just a very, very awesome debut.
1:01:11
Very cool. Can we?
1:01:16
Is it just me or like I swear it's like 8 out of every 10
1:01:22
prospects that get called up their first game like one of
1:01:27
their first ABS or sometimes it ends up being their first hit.
1:01:31
They're like legging out like an infield dribbler.
1:01:34
What? What is that?
1:01:35
Why is that? Yeah.
1:01:38
Am I just, am I just like convincing myself that that
1:01:41
happens more than it does 'cause I feel like with a lot of these
1:01:45
guys that gets called up you, they're like legging out little
1:01:48
like now that now that I've said that, remember that and and
1:01:51
watch. I mean, you're probably.
1:01:52
Right. Watch these prospects feel their
1:01:54
legs. Dude, it's just like I'm going
1:01:56
to please dear Lord, make contact with something today
1:02:00
like that. Just got to be the only
1:02:03
mentality. And you're barely getting and
1:02:05
then you have it. Grown men like Jack Caglion,
1:02:08
it's like, no, I'm going to hit a ball 115.
1:02:12
I'm going to basically have the hardest hit ball this team's had
1:02:15
all year, and this is like my first at bat.
1:02:17
Anyway, that's all I got. Yeah, let's have a let's have a
1:02:21
good rest of the week, I guess. Sorry to.
1:02:23
Whatever that means. Yeah, pull.
1:02:25
The trigger too early there, but yeah, let's let's have a good
1:02:29
rest of the week trying to think anything we've got to plug.
1:02:33
Let's keep an eye on dates for a next Keeping book.
1:02:37
Yeah, we have to pick something. Learning how to keep score with
1:02:40
Nate Sunday Night baseball broadcast.
1:02:45
We'll, we'll, we'll pick one. Keep an eye out.
1:02:47
If you're listening or watching. Keep an eye out.
1:02:48
We'll, we'll figure out a, a next date for that.
1:02:50
Sox Yankees. Oh, last thing, I'll say Sox
1:02:54
Yankees this weekend. Don't ask me to engage in any
1:02:59
sort of bets. Don't ask me to to make any sort
1:03:02
of predictions. I couldn't be.
1:03:05
Well, I won't say I couldn't be more out on this team because
1:03:07
I'm so back in on this team after our walk off today, Saddam
1:03:10
Rafaela with a three O 8. Did you see a 308 foot walk off
1:03:14
Homer snuck it right inside the pole.
1:03:18
No, but I'm on at a larger scale.
1:03:22
I'm this team frustrates me. Another weekend of nationally
1:03:27
broadcast games. Oh.
1:03:30
So annoying. I'm so I'm so weary having to
1:03:34
watch my team. Do you like I hate National?
1:03:37
No, I'm, I'm, I'm with you. No, it's just funny because
1:03:40
you're like, Oh, my team is so good and everyone wants to talk
1:03:43
about my team. No, it's just it's ESPN I
1:03:47
absolutely solidifying. I get it.
1:03:50
At least one to three Sunday Night Baseball Yankee Red Sox
1:03:57
matchups. I think Nessen only gets what,
1:04:00
the Friday game 'cause I guess what's Fox's Saturday?
1:04:03
ESPN Sunday. I see MLB Network on Friday, but
1:04:08
I don't think they dominate the. Way the other not with the
1:04:12
rights yeah yeah but yeah don't ask me to make any sort of bets
1:04:17
I I have no interest in doing that right now but.
1:04:20
Super interesting that they go 3 and then come back two series
1:04:28
later to face each other in Fenway.
1:04:30
Well, it makes sense because I get this is the first match up
1:04:33
of the season. Yeah.
1:04:35
So it was again, it's June, we've mentioned it already, it's
1:04:39
June and they're just now meeting.
1:04:41
So we're probably going to see some some match ups stacked over
1:04:44
the next couple months. I'm not overly confident in my
1:04:47
team at the moment either so. Oh yeah, it's got to be so hard
1:04:51
being in first place right now. Anyway, check out the shop,
