• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: That is sick. You're bad.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: World major. Dude, the marathon was a grind. I mean,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it was so much fun for how much pain you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: put yourself through. I'm not kidding. I thought I was
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in the depths of hell at one point. I didn't
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: think I was going to make it, and you just
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: got to dig deep, but the people at bank of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: America who, who put on this marathon, the entire city
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of Chicago, it, it was incredible. Like I can't say
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: enough good things on how they treated me and my family. Um,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I partnered with Brooks and they were incredible. Got to
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: hang out at their, um, activation site one day, just
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: so many cool things. So many, it's just such an
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: emotional day, bro. It was, I don't know how I
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: did it.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Honestly. I saw pictures, bro. Like your shorts look like
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you went swimming. It was, it looked, it looked, it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: looked nasty. It looked really bad. Was there, when did
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you go to the playlist? Like, was it early or,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: or were we like halfway? I saw Emily did a
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: keg stand. Is that right? Like she did a keg stand.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Emily did a keg stand on mile like 11, 12. Right. And,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, she was just partying. Like she was just,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: she was going into this running at my pace and
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: her best friend's pace. Sam Judge, Aaron's wife, Brandon as well.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: She's a beast. But Emily was just kind of enjoying
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the atmosphere. She trained really hard for New York and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: crushed that. So this one, she was kind of just
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: going to go at everyone else's pace. She did a
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: keg stand. I went to the play this probably, we
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: saw our family at mile five for the first time.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So that was really cool seeing the baby and everyone
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: there cheering. And then right after that, it got a
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: little quiet. So I popped in the headphones and was running. Dude,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: it was just nonstop.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Rizzo!
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It was so cool hearing everyone cheer. So I play
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the playlist. Then I take them out around mile 11
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: when we see our family again. And they have all
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: these drink stations, aid stations. So I'm just dumping water
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: on my head. Broke my headphones. These are another pair.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: So I ended up raw-dawing. the second half of the marathon,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: no music, which is fine because you could just go
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: off the energy of the crowd. But my SOS playlist was,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: was not to be heard once, which is kind of depressing.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Um, all that work, all that work. You did it though, bro.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: That's bucket list stuff, man. I, I, I'm jealous. There's
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: no way I could, I could do that. That was, that's, uh,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: that's impressive. I saw Jake Arrieta. You, you raise a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: lot of money for the Rizzo family foundation. Yeah, we raised,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I believe, well over $ 500, 000. So it's just so many
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: great causes in this marathon. Dude, I saw, so it
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: was like mile.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe 16, 17 where there was a Livestrong tent. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: when I was going through my cancer treatment, Livestrong was,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you know, everything. It was the Livestrong, Lance Armstrong's Livestrong Foundation.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And I saw that tent and I crossed over To
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it And I got uh One of the yellow Livestrong
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: bands That I haven't seen In probably.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: 15 years Yeah yeah Dude I almost started Freaking bawling
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It was like You know Emotional Yeah you're just In
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: your own mental state Running I'm like About to die
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: It feels like And It was just It was an
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: emotional Emotional point but That's cool.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: The crowd The crowd man It's like Nothing you've ever
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: experienced It's just so positive Uh Got people handing out beer,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: pickle shots, Malort shots. You name it, people were handing
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: it to you. Everyone's so nice and encouraging. It was
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: just a special day. And then my brother and I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: ended up running the second half together. We just stuck
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: together because we were the cabooses. Well, at least I
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: was the caboose. My brother stayed with me. And we
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: ended up doing a keg stand at mile 24. So
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I need to get that video. Someone has to have
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a video somewhere out there.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Send it in, people.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Well, congrats, bro. That's awesome. And to you and all
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: your family over there supporting you.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'll do the rest of the show like this.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Don't do that. Don't do that. Let's get back to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the Brewers Dodgers. That was great. That was cool stuff. Yeah, man. Like,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: first of all, I thought. the American family field was electric.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: That looked super loud in there. And you know how
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the roof was open, like a beautiful night. And the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Dodgers got off. I wrote down in my notes, man,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's like, it looked like they were playing pepper. Like
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: they weren't trying to do too much, just trying to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: take base hits. A lot of just singles and, you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: making Miz, Jacob Mizorowski throw strikes and get in the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: zone and hitting the ball the other way to score,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: go up one, nothing. I was like, it looked like
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: trouble to me for the Miz to, the way the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Dodgers were approaching the at-bats.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: No doubt. I mean, dude, that's such a veteran lineup.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? No one, no ace in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: this league. It doesn't matter who you are. He's the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: National League Cy Young Award winner. They're not going to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: be phased by him. And they had a great game plan.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Miz has a what? A 40% clip of swing and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: miss rate. The Dodgers last night were 18%. So that
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: just goes to tell you that maybe in that pregame season,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: hitters meeting they were like hey let's just emphasize not
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: trying to do too much off this guy let's take
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: what he gives us put the ball in play and
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: we'll go from there and they took a one one
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: run lead which last year a year ago the Brewers
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: got swept by the Dodgers so them taking a one
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: run lead you know the site game of Milwaukee's oh
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: man like the Dodgers coming in back-to-back champs who got
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: swept by them last year and they tie it up
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and then What I loved is the small ball, bro.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Cooper Pratt dropping a bunt down, getting the guy over
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to second. Then the next hitter drives him in. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that's Brewers baseball. And that's playoff baseball. If you can
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: execute those things in the playoffs, you have a really
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: good chance at winning. And I know they won 2-1.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: The defense in this game was amazing. There's a ton
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of double plays, but I love the small ball.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what I wrote down that too. Some of
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the stats they were talking about on TV, like Dodgers
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: led in NL and double plays that they hit into. So,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you know, for them to get out of that early on,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: you know, one out bases loaded, getting that big double
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: play was huge for, for Jacob Mizorowski, but I got
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: to get some love. Bryce Terang was one of my
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: favorite players on the, on the WBC. I got to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: be around him and watch his power for a second baseman.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I don't, I don't think I appreciate it. And, Mark
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: DeRosa talks about this all the time, like watching him
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hit with the Schwarbers and the Harpers in that group.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: He was launching balls and goes oppo off Scooble left
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: on left, just sell out to that 2-0 hit was really,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: really cool. And then, you know, like you said, bottom
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of the order, Luis Lora, just getting that base hit
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: RBI to put them up 2-1. That had to be
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: great breathing room for the Brewers who, like you said,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: felt like we need to break this seal. They're up 1-0.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: They swept us last time. You got to get that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: monkey off your back a little bit. And they go
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: on to win the game. The bullpens, the bullpens.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Lights out.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Man, man. I mean, we, I don't know. I keep,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I keep saying this, but I don't think I gave
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the Brewers bullpen enough credit during the season, how good
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they were. And the way, you know, Ashby to me
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is one of the just secret weapons in the game.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I played with his uncle, Andy Ashby. And, and I just, I,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I smile. He's one of my favorite. teammates all the time. Andy,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Andy Ashby, he'd be in the bullpen. He was a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: starter for a while, but came down when he was
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: kind of a swing man when I was there. And, uh, I,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he would come down to the bullpen. I'm like, Ash,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: how we, how's it feel it? He was like coming
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: out like a cotton ball, Rossi, one of my all
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: time favorite lines, but his, uh, nephew, uh, just absolutely
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: dominant from the left side. He's got unhittable stuff. Electric,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: 96-plus from the left side, a dirty change and a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: nasty breaking ball. Two-and-a-half ERA over the last two years.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He's been really good in that role for them. Struggled
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit as a starter, as a rookie, and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he's found a home in the bullpen kind of as
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a long guy and been great. Those bullpens are nasty. D.L.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Hall, too, yesterday, I believe.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Two innings. And then McGill, big McGill, Magoo, in the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: back end just shutting it down. So he's been perfect
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: this postseason. But, bro, that Terang home run, Oppo left
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: on left, like– My God, bro. What a superstar. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: this Brewers team, you know, best team in baseball, best record.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: They fly under the radar all year because they play Milwaukee,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: which I say that with all due respect. But now
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: these guys on the biggest stage playing the Dodgers, seeing them,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: these guys shine and seeing this team shine is, you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: good for these players, man. Like they deserve these flowers.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I know it's one game. And Dave Roberts said after
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: the game, look, It's a seven-game series. You can't expect
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to beat the best team in baseball in four games.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So the Dodgers have the right mentality. They have the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: right attitude. But, man, is this a huge win for
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Brewers. This is, I feel like game one
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: for the Brewers was a must win. And if you're
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, like, all right, it's just one game.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we've talked about it already, but their veteran presence,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the way they approached the first couple at-bats, like, they're
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: not worried about anything. And you saw there, like, two
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: quick outs from Trevor McGill to end the game to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: add the back end of the game. And then they
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: got traffic, a really, uh, poised at bat from, um, um,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the right fielder, uh, Tucker, sorry. And yeah. And the,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and the young kid, I mean, they just to.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Get first, walking in the ninth.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Walkie.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was in that environment for, to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: 21 years old and to take that, to take that
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: walk and not try to get too amped up. And
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: then Mookie hit that ball pretty solid to right center.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But for now, yeah, we've got their work cut out
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for us. I've got here teams that have won game
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: one in the current 2-3-2 format have won the series 67%
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: of the time. So getting some stats to throw out
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: there for the folks. The Brewers are in a good position.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Dodgers are going away. I'm going
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to get my polymarket pick right now. Dodgers are 55%
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to the yes to win game two, $ 100. Trade will
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: get you back 174. The Brewers are 45% to the
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: yes to win game two. And $ 100 will get you 214.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I really believe this is going to be a back-and-forth series.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: It's probably going to go seven games. And with Yamamoto
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: on the mound, I'm picking the Dodgers, 55% to the yes.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So that $ 100 will get you 174. But who doesn't
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: want to make $ 74? You like your money. I like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: my money.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I like to have money. Look, as good as the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Brewers have to be feeling after game one, you got
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Yamamoto game two. You got Blake Snell game three. You
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: got Tyler Glass now game four. Then you got a
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: version of Scooble and Yamamoto again for five, six, and seven. So,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just like these are the way these
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: games are going to have to be won. And the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: good thing for the Brewers is this is how they've
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: won games all year. They've come back. They scratch and claw.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: They do the little things. So, I mean, this is
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: just one round of this series. And hopefully this National
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: League Championship Series gives us, you know, a deep 6-7
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: game round because both of these teams deserve it. Both
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: of these teams will be on full display. So, I'm
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: excited for Game 2 tonight. It's– now we– these seven-game
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: series for– for all the fans. These are the big
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: boy series, right? I know it's deeper in the playoffs
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: when you go to the World Series, but these seven-game series,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: this tests your entire depth. This tests the whole roster.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: You can't just throw your same bullpen guys every day
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: because game five, six, and seven, these guys will be gassed.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: So this is when... the depth of your team really shines.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And they'll see him a lot with all those at-bats,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: like we said.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, their bullpens had to be worked, what,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: four innings? Both bullpens had to be worked four or
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: five innings?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's going to catch up. There's something about the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: warm summer air and a cold corona with Lyme that
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: makes the roar of the crowd sound a lot like
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the roar of the waves.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: That's because this is our playa, and the best seats
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: are always wherever you're sitting.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Whether it's a weeknight game under the lights or a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon in the sun, You know baseball isn't about
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: rushing around. It's about settling in, letting the game come
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to you. And nothing pairs better than an ice-cold Corona. Nothing.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: So find your seat, your Corona, and your line. Because
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: real fans know the only thing better than nine innings

  Speaker 1: Crown Imports, Chicago, Illinois. What's up, guys? I need to
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: tell you about this new prediction market called Polymarket. It's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the best new way to trade in sports. In the past,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: if you wanted action on the game, you put some
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: money in, and if your team was doing well and
• 15:09

• 15:51
  Speaker 1: got to talk a little bit about the Rays-Guardias. Just
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: touch on that series, man. That's going to be a
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: good one down in Tampa. It's kicking off tonight.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, dude, the Guardians, man. Coming back down 0-2.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Winning at home in the Game 5 was just incredible.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Congrats to Stephen Vogt and that team. They just, I
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: feel like that team is.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez doing Hall of Fame shit.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, that ball out of the dirt. Just incredible. Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: good for him. He had a down year. He was
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: hurt throughout the year, and he comes back and has
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: the big hit to send him to the championship series.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: So just the fact that they were down 0-2, Rossi,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: it was raining. It was raining in Chicago, right? Or
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it was raining in Cleveland, and they're playing
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: a team from Chicago in game five.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be bad vibes for Cleveland.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's– they needed to break that curse.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean– Do the Guardians have a shot
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: against the Rays in this series?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Doesn't it feel like the... Here's the two narratives. They
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: spent all their bullets to get through that tough series
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: against the White Sox, where it's back and forth, down 0-2,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and they come back, and they got all the momentum,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and you could see the excitement in that team, or...
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: do they carry that momentum into this round and whatever goes, right?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's two sides to the coin. And it
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: feels like, to me, they spent a lot of bullets.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: And they didn't hit. They still haven't really busted out.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: A couple of those nine-run games. But, again, back when
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it was really good pitching and that last game, I
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: thought the two starters were great in that game five
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: against the White Sox. You know, it was a 2-0 game.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Nobody really hit. And the Rays have really good pitches.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Got Drew Raffinson on the mound tonight, and we know
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: how nasty he can be. I'm excited for this series.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: What do you think? Do you think the momentum carries,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: or do you think they spend a lot of bullets?
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I think it could carry. Maybe they steal game one
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: versus Rasmussen, but Rasmussen's another guy that just kind of
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: goes under the radar year in and year out and
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: is just a front-line ace. So the Rays are totally–
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: set up. Bullpen, everything set up. Their guys are rested.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: They just swept the Yankees. They can ride. The Guardians
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: can ride some momentum and maybe steal game one, but
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: their depth is going to show. I believe they just
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: don't have the depth to carry them through a seven-game
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: series versus the Rays, unless their offense starts going off. Obviously,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: if guys get hot and they score five, six runs
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: a game, I think for sure they can, but This
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Rays team is really good, man, and hopefully it's a
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: good series. I mean, look, Rossi, the Rays and Brewers
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: in the World Series, you manifested it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Hey, I just want to say I'm four from four
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: this round. All my teams are in. I just want
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to throw that out there as just a little bit
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of shade real quick. You know what I mean?
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Let's get to these 10-plus callbacks. Yes. Hey, I was
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: after the marathon yesterday. We were hanging out, and I
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: was with Emily's cousin, And he just graduated Ohio State
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: a few years ago. Shout out, OH, all the OH
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: fans out there. But his friends were here, and they
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: listened to the show, big fans of the program. And
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: I would give us, what do you got? Like, what
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: do you like about the show? Give me some constructive criticism.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Give me feedback. And he's like, bro, the best part
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: are the questions. Like, I love the baseball insight of
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: some things people don't know. So thank you, everyone, for
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: sending the questions in.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: RossandRizzo at GMA.com. You can leave a YouTube comment or
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: a social comment. We love answering these questions about things
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that maybe you don't understand that we could bring you
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: inside the game or in the clubhouse. so first emails
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: from Adam Mays tipping pitches when tipping pitches when playing
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: did you guys see reoccurring tipping from the same pitchers
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: in other words multiple times you saw someone where they're
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: tipping the same way do you think tipping is more
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: of a short-term thing due to other teammates and slash
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: coaches figuring it out quickly?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Well, good question. I had a teammate by the name
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of Sean Green, great Dodger player, one of my favorite
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: teammates of all time. And his line was always, once
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a tipper, always a tipper. You may change something and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you may try to fix, but something else is going
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to pop up. You know, there's so many camera angles
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and so many things. I think earlier on in my career, guys–
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: the word didn't get around as much, you know, you
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: weren't so friendly with other teammates, other guys on the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: other team. And I think now everybody's kind of in
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: the same boat. It's so, you know, similar agencies, the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: agencies have gotten so big, stuff like that. So word
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: travels pretty fast and guys fix it. Or you just
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: have an outlier of an, of a day of an outing.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: And you're like, wait a minute, something was off. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: was executing pitches. That was a red flag for me
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: as a catcher. Like, they should be set up here.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: They can't be taking that good of a swing on
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: this pitch. And so that was the red flag for me.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And you'd start kind of having your coaching staff dive
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: deep into like, what do you see? Am I doing anything?
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I think I told the story about Marcus Stroman. We
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: were in, he was having a great year for us
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: when I was managing and we go to Minnesota and
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: he couldn't get, I think I gave up four runs,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: five runs and two innings. I had to take him out.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I'm just a weird game. They were hitting everything hard.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Come to find out afterwards, every off-speed pitch, he was
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: sticking his tongue out.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Every off-speed pitch. So, like, they had that, and they
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: found that on a camera. He had no idea. We
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: had no idea. And he was pitching great. Nobody else
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: had caught it. But that's one of the ones that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: come to mind right away. And you try to fix it,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: but sometimes something else may pop up.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. In today's game, the tips go quick, right? And
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: pitchers are aware of it. They have pretty much every
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: team I would imagine has their own guys on the inside,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: always monitoring their pitchers and other pitchers. But there are
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: things that pop up all the time and pitchers don't
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: realize that they're doing it, right? Whether it's with the mouth,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: whether it's how they grip the ball. I used to
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: love guys who grip split all the time, preset split,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: because then when they would go in their glove, if
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: you saw movement, if you saw a certain type of movement,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: you knew he was switching off the split. And then
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: some guys would always dig in there, so you had
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: to tell what movement it was. Was it the exaggerated
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: one or was it the less? Where was his glove positioning?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Some guys had different glove positioning. Some guys were tipping
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: their pitches from the third base coach or the first
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: base coach. Some guys tipped from second base. So that
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: cat and mouse game will always be played because it's
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: so hard to hit and any edge you can get.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: But right now, I do think it's a lot more
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: of a short-term thing. And also... For the pitchers, I
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: think that if they know they had a tip one game,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I would use that in my advantage, and I would
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: be reverse tipping. You know what I mean? If I'm
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: doing something with my mouth on curveball, like opening my mouth,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: I would start opening my mouth in a big spot
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: and throw a fastball.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You know, if you can think about that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Well, that was the– I was talking about this on
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: McAfee the other day. We're talking about stealing signs, and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I would set guys up at second to– to if
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: we've got the at bat and they thought, okay, I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: know they got it. I can tell their signs. And
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: now like a three, two big pitch, I would, I'd
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: be able to go with, set them up. Like I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: would throw a fastball and then throw a split or
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: something like that. Yeah. It's good to, if you can,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that's the game with it inside the game, which is so,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: so fun to me. We had this guy, Russ Ortiz
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that I face in the nationals at the old park. When,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: when I first got called up and he had one where, Like,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: his body, if he stepped back fast and went really fast,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it was slow. And if he stepped back slow, it
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: was fast. So, like, his body language. And I hit
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a ball on the upper deck there. I wasn't good
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: at the ones where you, like, had to look last
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: minute and then get ready.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: But if it was that obvious.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Toe tap.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: People tapping their toes. Some guy tapped their toe three
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: times on. and only two times on fastball. There's so
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: many different variables to look at.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: There's some fun ones. All right. This next email is
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: from Zane Akbari. I'm visiting Tokyo and was at the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Giants-Bay Stars playoff game, and the atmosphere was outstanding. It
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: got me thinking about Japanese players when they come over
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: to MLB. What is the biggest adjustment that they have
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: coming over here since the crowds and atmosphere are similar
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in Japan as they are here?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: We were on the number one team in the world,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: so it only makes sense that we partner with the
• 24:58

• 25:45
  Speaker 1: We thank you, Blue Chew, for sponsoring the pod and
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the bedrooms.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, everything, adjusting to everything here. It's a completely
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: different culture in America as it is in Japan, starting
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: with our food, language, housing, driving, manners, cleanliness, right? Like
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: you name it, it's an adjustment. I mean, just think
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: about us going anywhere in the country and the adjustment
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: you have to make. So The biggest thing has to
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: be in the clubhouse. Because when you get to baseball,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: it's baseball. It has to probably be how the schedule
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: is ran, like spring training schedule. Because in Japan, I mean,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: they're grinding. They practice like crazy, right? So that and
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: then the language barrier. I mean, the language barrier has
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: to be hard. For pitchers, they're pitching every five days
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: instead of once a week. So that's a huge adjustment
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: for hitters. it's adjusting to different styles because the Japanese
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: style pitchers have their own kind of quirky style, you know,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: how they, how they, I don't know. I just feel
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: like most Japanese guys have like a little pause or
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: hitch where here it's maybe a little more fluid. Yeah.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of adjustments.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I was with Seiya when he first came over and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: managing Seiya Suzuki for the Cubs. And the biggest, you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: hit on it. First thing you said was the food.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I think one of the hardest thing for them to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: adjust with is like, in the clubhouse and where they're
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: going to get their food from. They've got interpreters to
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: kind of help with that, that language barrier. But, um,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: you know, he lost a little bit of weight early
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: on trying to just make, you know, find the stuff
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: that he liked to eat over here. So, um, good questions, Zane.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: That was a really good question.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: One more email from Javier Bennett's, I believe from Spain
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: with all the love and respect for you guys. Thank you.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Shout out to Spain. Massive shout out to the show.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You are putting together every week, every day now, Javier.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Huge fan. How would you develop pitching at an organizational level?
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is something as an organization we,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: the Cubs, are not getting to the right place, especially
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: when looking at how teams like the Brewers and Rays
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: have developed their pitchers.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Ooh, good question.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Well, Javier, thankfully for you, you have a manager who,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: ran an organization, and two former pitchers. So we can
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: easily comment on this one. Go ahead, Rossi.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: You know, Javier, maybe I'm old school, but I go
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: back to everybody's trying to throw the ball as hard
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: as they possibly can, and velocity wins. It creates the
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: ability to get away with mistakes. But I don't think
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: we focus on in our bullpens, and if I'm talking
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: about developing pitchers and I'm talking about minor leagues pitching,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I would love to see a routine in a bullpen
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: where guys have to execute the fastball maybe two or
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: three times. Like, we're going to start down and away.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Here's what the good pitchers I caught with. We're going
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to get loose. I'm going to get you down. I'm
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: going to get loose. And then I'm going to start
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: my routine. We're going to go three fastballs down and away,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: which is glove side extension. And then whether you're righty
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: or lefty, and then we're going to go three fastballs
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: in and you don't move to the next spot until
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you execute three in a row. So it just teach
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: you a little bit to, to kind of lock in
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: those mechanics of where that release point is on both sides.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: And then we'll start spinning some, then we'll start elevating.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: And then we'll start some change ups, stuff like that.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: But I just think fastball command is so great. And
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: I'm probably, you know, if, There was a front office
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: listening to me talk. They'd probably blast me and saying
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter and the race hit up middle and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: they could do all the spin rate stuff and just...
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: just let it eat. But I think some of the
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: guys that don't make it to the big leagues with
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: velocity could really benefit. You're going to get more out
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: of your whole organization. I think if you have some
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: guys that can command the baseball and work on a routine,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: at least trying to get some of those release point
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: and mechanics locked in, but. What do I know? I
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: only caught 15 years in the show.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Well, I think, Rossi, from an organizational standpoint, right,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: you get these guys in that are raw. You get
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: them in from college or high school that have stuff.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: And being a professional organization, we have all the technology
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: at our forefront, which is amazing. I think, and this
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: is just the basics, like the biomechanics of it, unlocking
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: your hips, unlocking your torso, getting, figuring out where you're tight.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Like you hear Jacob Mizorowski talk about how he kind
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: of got more into his glutes more.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: And he's producing one Oh five. Now he always threw hard,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: but it's like Michael King used to say this all
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: the time in New York. Like there was a couple
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: of starts where he was 93, 94. And in between starts,
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: I'm talking, I was like, Oh no, I like, I
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: figured it out. I wasn't driving into my backside as
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: much or my legs as much. Next start, he was 97, 98.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: So from an organizational standpoint, if you could identify people's
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: biomechanics in that aspect, the velocity will come. I mean,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: you look at Cam Schlittler. When he first came into
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: the minor leagues, he was not throwing 98 to 100.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: So the Yankees unlocked his potential.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like in talking to Craig Breslow, to your point, Riz,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: we can, he used to say, we can teach velocity.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: We can't teach command as well. Basically, you know, we
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: can get guys to throw harder. It's, it's more difficult
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: for us to get guys to command the ball. So
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that's what I would say, you know, draft, maybe guys
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: that command the ball and see if you can get
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: a little more out of them. But again, that's hard.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: And the biggest thing too, for a young pitcher is
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: that watch the game, watch every single pitch. When I was, playing,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: I watched every pitch, righty or lefty. And if I
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: missed a pitch, especially the first pitch, and especially on defense,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: if a guy first pitch swings his first at bat,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: if I got out my first at bat on the
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: first pitch, I probably 98% of the time unless it
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: was bases loaded one out or runner on third less
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: than two outs, was taking my second at bat. You
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? So there's so many times where
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I watch like a guy will show me a pitch.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: My second at bat that I'm taking, I'm like, why
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: would you show me that pitch? You just throw me
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: a fastball on the middle, right? Obviously sometimes you get
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: burned on that, but if you could watch the game
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and have, just be a student of the game as
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: well in a competitor, because you have your scouting reports,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: but then when the game gets going, you have to
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: make the adjustments. So I don't know how you teach that.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, you just have to watch more, but.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Um, They got to listen to the pod. They got
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: to listen to the pod and get advice from us.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Because it's a lot different now than when I came up, obviously. Like,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you know, guys used to be sinking and cutting it
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: at 91, 92. Like, yeah, nobody in the big leagues
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: is hardly throwing 91, 92 anymore.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: For example, when I was with the Red Sox, Rossi,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: and this is just on the hitting side, which I'm
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: sure on the pitching side, they were doing something similar.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: After every at-bat, we had a binder in our dugout.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: And we had to go– write down the pitch sequence
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: that they threw to us and write notes on how
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: you felt.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: So it was all, it was awesome because it was like,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: he threw me hard and then soft away. Hey, I
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: really saw his curve ball. Well, you don't have to
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: worry about that pitch. Like just stay on the fastball.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: You'll react to the curve ball. So then a few,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: you know, a few weeks later, a month later, when
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: you play that same team, you go back over those
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: notes and you're like, Oh, I saw that curve ball. Well, okay,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: that's good. And then you, then you, verify it again
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: by when you see it again oh i did see
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that well so it's things like that where if pitchers
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: can really break down their their pitch execution or their
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: pitch sequencing pitch sequencing is everything i feel like if
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: you throw the right pitches to us hitters where we
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: don't have actually a single chance you know if you
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: know what we're thinking yeah so yeah good question so
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: many different ways so many different ways to skin the
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: cat out of here.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: That was, when we elaborate that much, you know it's
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: a good question. That was a, that we got to
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: go in depth.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you everyone for watching and listening. Reminder, Ross
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and Rizzo at gmail.com to send in your daily Tim
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Buss ball bag questions of the day. NLCS game two tonight.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: American League Championship Series gets off and running tonight with
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the Rays and the Guardians. Fun baseball, Rossi. The World
• 34:35
