• 0:00
  Speaker 1: They'll go to Pro Bowl in a month after he
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: signs in the first round and they'll be like, you
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: get twenty five pitches. He's like, I just do one
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty pitch.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: No, Hinter, I missed the chaos. Yesterday, Hunter Goodman joined us.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Hit two homers two yeah, broke killed my lock. Two
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: homers killed my lock in the night, killed it.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I was texting with you, guys.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I was like, homer and then texted back like a
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: minute later, make it too.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He hit the second one,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: tied the game and then they went on to score
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and they're off in again. But I killed my killed
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: my luck.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Don't say we don't talk about the Colorado Rockies had.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: A player on yesterday. That's enough, Okay, I'm gonna get
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: back to the headliners.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Rocks are hot right now for the Rockies.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: You know how many of the Nationals lost in a row?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Now nine in a row. I believe man, they're starting
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to know, they're starting to feel some they're starting to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: feel a little bit of heat. David Martinez coming out
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: defending coaches that you fired last year. One and nine.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The Nationals are one and nine. And the Rockies are
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: three and seven and they won two in a row.
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: So they are hot.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: The Nationals didn't make I mean Davy didn't do it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: He fired the coaches or the front office did.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Who knows. We'll see.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: So last year the nasal comes.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: We saw it in Baltimore. Yeah, so the coaches get fired,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: then the manager gets fired with Brandon Hyde, normally happens.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: The coaches get fired. If there's not a market improvement,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: then it goes to the manager because the gamy fired himself.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The GM wants five more years. I'm gonna rebuild. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: got better players coming in five more years. Give me
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: five more years.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Have your plan?
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Do you think it matters when you're going through rebuild
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: if you win more games year after year. So the
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Nats were not expected to be a playoff team this year.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Seems like they've pushed their go back in plan to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: next year. Some people thought they should have gotten involved
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: this past offseason and been more active.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: They weren't.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: That's their choice. They feel like they're one more year away.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Last year they were seventy one and ninety one, so
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: four thirty eight winning percentage. This year they're thirty and
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: forty two, So it's a four to seventeen winning percentage, Like,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: does it matter if they end up winning seventy games?
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Should?
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: It should?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: The ultimate goal is to win games. It should if
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna get all, it's all about the way
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: they play and their way they're playing. Like who cares
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: like you? As Ozzie Game used to say, I could
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: get a monkey to play hard? Right, Like yeah, great,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: like I you know that's what everyone always says. Oh,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: they don't quit and they play hard, like it's cool.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But no, like good players play and bad players hustle.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Another Ozzy Game quote, Right, I like that?
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: So yeah, just learned to win?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've gotta.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Learn to win it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And I also think that it starts in the minor leagues.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Teams are trying to develop guys. You kind of teach
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: guys how to win baseball games. Winning in the minor
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: leagues should be important because then if you win, Like
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I remember when I was with Twins, went to the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: playoffs and a ball and double and triple A and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: all the way up, right, and it was cool because
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh, we know how to win baseball games. Yes,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: we never won the championship in any of those leagues.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: But we're like, oh, we know how to win games.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, minor leagues records, yep, yep. You definitely sometimes see
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a team with a good farm system have a lot
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: of success in the minor leagues, win a championship and
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: whatever minor league that they're in.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Anyway, let's get to the big leagues. Let's charge.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Charge about.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: He's back, baby, show Otani on Instagram. Quote, I'm back.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You're like, wait, he's been back. No, he's back back.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: He's unicorn back. He's pitching and krats, he's throwing hard.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: He had definitely into speedball working. They didn't have the
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: swing and miss speedball working. They were seeing it pretty good.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: There's so much I always I forgot. His pitch call
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: is like his PitchCom thing is tucked in his shirt,
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: so he's got a like pocket in his jersey, so
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: he's always reaching to that. His right arm has something
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: underneath his sleeve. I don't know if he's wearing like
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: something over his shoulder. And then he had a rush
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: in to go get is that bat? His coaches are
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: putting his shin guards out there. He's definitely gonna get
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: a pitch clock violation.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He touched a hondo a lot of ninety eight, ninety nine,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: twenty eight pitches. He was laboring, But I mean good
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to see him on the mound, come off the mound,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: healthy to RBI knocks.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just good to see him out there.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And the velocity is what the velocity is. He was
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he had a ton of adrenaline amped up.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I think it's more important what crowd said. There was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: no swing and miss. There was a lot of long
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: at bad's deep counts, not great contact all the padres,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: but they were putting the ball in play.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: We think a show, hey, with a split and one
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: hundred and the slider. We think of the Mike trout
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: about where he went three two slider, perfectly located, struck out.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That's the show, hey. We think about twenty eight pitches
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: in one inning. They probably would have liked it to
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: be around fifteen to twenty, but twenty eight. It's a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: little bit high. But he got out there and got
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: him out. Now next time he can maybe go two innings,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: could slowly keep building him up, but see how he
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: feels it is he saw his arm sore, his legs,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: sword well he played tonight. Well, I want to tell
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you that is the most important. How does he bounce back?
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: That's important.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: So yesterday we talked about Otani making his return to
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the mount and how he would bounce back. It was
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: some of the most tryhard troll vitriol that I've seen
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: on any video that we've posted on YouTube.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Fans were losing their mind. These guys don't watch baseball.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: They clearly didn't see his numbers from twenty twenty one
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to twenty twenty three. He didn't take days off, he
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: was feeling good, blah blah blah. You just had all
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of these Hall of Fame baseball players posting in there
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: saying that everything is completely fine and he's a machine,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: and how dare you speak poorly about him, which obviously
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: we didn't point was you're saying.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Surgeries later.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Age not by Yeah, let's see how things go, because
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: they're like he raked when he pitched, and he played
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: every day and all this, like we know the history
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the people that were you should see. I encourage you
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: to go back at some point to see how dumb
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the comments were. Trying to run through basic stats from
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty here's the thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He didn't play every day because he remember, there was
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: a whole thing where he's got to take the day
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: off before he pitches, right, I mean there.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Was this whole big but that was in the beginning
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: of his career.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but still there were times where he
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: had to do this.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And they ditched the rules. Yes, and then people are like, see,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: he did it every day. I'm like, for a little
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: but then he got hurt. Yes, then he got TJ
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: again or whatever else, and then.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They were trying to be careful because they wanted to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: save his legs, so they didn't want him to steal
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as many bases, right, I mean, listen, again, it's two
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: years ago we're talking about. It's been almost two years
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: since he's pitched. So yes, hey show, Hey, welcome back.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: We're happy to see you. But let's see how you react.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, two years is a big time in someone's life.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: By now, you know that Hello Fresh is America's number
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: one meal kit and that you can choose some sixty
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: recipes every week. But what you might not know is
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that AJ wants me to describe some of the recent
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: meals that are on the menu. So here we go,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Sun dried tomato, grilled cheese sandos that was easy, panco
• 7:27

  Speaker 1: Yes, let's go nail it. Let's go delicious too, by

  Speaker 2: I think people are looking at the comments that you
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: guys made and me, I guess too yesterday, like oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you're not rooting for him, Relax, I mean we know
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: who Most of the people that were commenting in there,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: were thinking, like, we are pointing out that this is
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: super uncommon and you need to be careful when you're
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: somebody in the league who has gone through quite a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: few injuries and surgeries at this point, and if you're
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, you don't want to mess with anything that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: you're getting production wise in the lineup. Is he more
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: important as a bat or a pitcher? Is it even
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: close for the Dodgers? Is he more important as a
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: bat or a pitcher? I guess you could make a
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: case because Kratz, the pitching is going through submission issues
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: You need both. I'm not saying nobody is saying he
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: shouldn't do this.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: We are just pointing out, let's see how the progression
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: goes for him, because because it.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Is all about preservation.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers are about preservation to get to October as
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: healthy as possible.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: And I don't know if they need twenty twenty four
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: show hey Otani or not. I don't know if they
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: need everything. But everybody who was hating on us, there
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: is a decently large sized drop from his production when
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: he was pitching to when he was not pitching. That's
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: all we were trying to say, Now, are we still
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: saying that he is the elite level?
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I mean you're talking about you're talking about a dude
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: to hit forty four homers and had ninety five RBIs
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: had one thousand ops when he was only a hitter.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: He had fifty four homers and one hundred and forty RBI. Like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: you sit there and you go, that is a difference
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: the year before thirty four homers ninety five RBIs, Like,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: there is a difference when he is pitching. That is
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: just that is a and you have to make sure
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: you're getting the most out of him. But to me,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: right now, they need him to pitch. I think that's
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: the only reason he's out on the mound already. They
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: need him to pitch because they don't have a lot
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: of starting pitching. But more importantly, what Dave Roberts said,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: they need him in October.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, and Kratz, I mean the claim that's going to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: go against you is well not in twenty twenty three.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, he had a one six six ops,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: which was his career high. His ops plus was very
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: similar to what it was Slash year is like a
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: few points down, So okay, claim is gone.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: We know he hit just as well. And then what
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: happened later in the year.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He got hurt.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: He pushed it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: He pushed the limit that year, he definitely pushed the limit.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: I get his OPS was higher, but if you're talking
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: about sheer production numbers, he missed a month. He was
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: probably gonna get pretty close to the same amount. But
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: he ran the engine too hot. When you run your
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: RPMs constantly at five thousand RPMs, there's a chance something breaks.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: The Dodgers don't want to do that, so that level
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: of production just can't be. He's not just going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: flatline and stay at sixty home run pace while he's pitching.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: A full a full schedule of pitching too.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't bring this up all the time,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: but I felt like it was worth it, just because
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: there were so many comments about it, and I'm just like,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: we get it. For example, I'll just read a few
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: he did both in twenty twenty three. How a higher
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: OPS in twenty three than twenty four? Do you even
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: know what you're talking about? That was the top comment.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: No, I don't, okay, don't.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: No, he did it when he pitched, he didn't take
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: time off.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: He was on pace to have a higher OPS while
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: pitching and batting in twenty twenty three than twenty twenty four.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: He's fine second high louse Armo.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: That's what we're trying to say. But people are going
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: to listen this deep into it.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: They're just going to hear my acinin comment that he
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: had a you know, we had lower production. You can't
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: push the limit that hard. And reality is Dodgers said
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: it the whole time. When Gomes and Doc we're talking,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: they were like, we really don't know. We'll see how
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: he feels. We're gonna go off of him because nobody knows.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: There's no plan to say, you know what, you just
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: threw seven innings and you legged out a triple. I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: sure your legs are fine. Go out for the eighth inning. No,
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: because something else is gonna go and it's this.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many I'm slicking through. But anyway, the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: point is this is awesome. We're celebrating it. If you're
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers, you want this exact weapon in the playoffs.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: How do you get there? How do you get Otani
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: to the playoffs to give you five six innings, whatever
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: he's going to do and be his best self at
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: the plate.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Now, the playoffs are different, especially as you get deeper,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot more off days they are built in, right, Yes,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: than a twenty game and twenty day stretch where he
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: might pitch three times in those twenty games. That's a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: completely different animal. So I don't know.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Listen, Britch are always the worst reporter in the world.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna throw that out there. So just
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: so she watching or she's just in her I don't know,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: she's just doing our chat that I suck. So you
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: know that's not nice. Be nice, Britt.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: I like you.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I like you, but now maybe I don't like you.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: She was just adding to the trolling that was going on.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Did you guys even watch Otani in twenty twenty.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: No, I was too busy watching your gnats, Britt lose
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: their nights game in a row.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Actually anyway, you know.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Watching her Orioles, who she used to report for, be
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in fourth place or actually they're in fifth place.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think we have to clarify this, but we
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: all love watching show tiny pitch.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I was were just like watching him play baseball, pitching, hitting,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. We wanted to be the best we
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: can be.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: We wanted to be at his best so that we
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: can all watch him.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Here here, let's finish with this, because then we're gonna
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: bring on Ken. You have a good chunk of our
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: audience who said is that we like the Dodgers too much?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And then a huge contingency last night that chimed in
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: that we absolutely hate them with a passion, and we
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: were not nice enough about him coming back to the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: mounds and making sure that he stayed healthy.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: How dare us bring that up?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I don't always bring up the comments, but the volume
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: of comments made me feel like I had to address it.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Shoho Tani is dumbed down how good he is and
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: how unique he is.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Like if somebody did with Shoeho Tani did at any
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: level of baseball college, Division one three, high school, doesn't matter.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: He's doing it in the big leagues at an elite level.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: He throws the ball as hard as everybody in a
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: ninety eight percentile, runs as fast as a ninety eight percentile,
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: hits the balls hard in a ninety one hundred, ninety
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: nine percentile, like we love show.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Hey, but you can't hurt him. Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I was super pumped watch yesterday and then the Dodgers
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: ended up winning the game.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: There was drama in that game. We'll get to that
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: later in the show. Ken Rosenthal standing by to join
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: us next and it happened.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: This week, so he doesn't watch.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I try to stay awake and I couldn't.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Roman Anthony to save the day. The Roman era.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: The game winning homer in the second as the Mariners
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: was shut out by Lucas Giolito, who looked a little different,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: which is good. I watched a good jump of that game.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: He did pitch well. We're gonna ask Pap about him later.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Ken Rosenthal's coming up soon. News flash. We're going to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: talk a lot about the Red Sox today based off
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: what happened last night after our show. A lot of
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: comments from a lot of people involved with the organization.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: But Roman Anthony with a nice danger.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: To go on to have a great career. How I
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: know this because only great people with great careers hit
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: their first career home run in Seattle rap Fields also
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: one of them. Yep, boom, so mine went more to center.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't really go to right center. I went more
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to Center.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: You love Seattle.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I love I love listen. I'm telling you, I love
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: playing there. I loved hitting there. I just liked Seattle.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know why, but I just biders. I didn't
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: bother that.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: It's an awesome ballpark experience. I'm a big fan.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: The whole thing is great. You eat some crickets, that
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: part not a.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Fan, but most of the rest, it is all natural,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: paleo all that. Yeah, yeah, you used to have this place.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. I don't know if crowds are went there
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: called Swane's. I don't know if you ever went there.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Crowds are probably gone by the time you were there.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It was a comedy club slash bar, and it was
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: across the street from where the Old Kingdom used to be,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: and they had a downstairs and they would have like
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: comedy shows and every all the players went there.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: And I showed you how deep the rabbit hole going
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: daya dish time.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Thirty five of Wan Soto's played appearances against right hand
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: to pitching this season, I've gotten a three ball counts
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: highest in the National League.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Anything to take from that.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: He walks a lot, doesn't swing. He doesn't swing a lot.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he counts to something we knew he works.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: That's a nice way of saying he didn't swing.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: You can still swing if you work account Yeah, but.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: He doesn't swing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I heard something about Wan Soda the other day and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know that one, and I don't know who
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: told me this, but it was one of those where
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he looks at the percentages of strikes that pitchers throw
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and there are times where he just won't swing because
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, there's a better chance of him throwing
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: four balls before he throws three strikes.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: You could look at that as smart. Yeah, if you're
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: trying to get on that's your name.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Proves to get on base, to get onto first as
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: a walker, and Dad is smart.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: He doesn't. He doesn't swing in a breaking ball early
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: in the count till two strikes.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: He just won't.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: He won't unless it is an RBI situation. Even then
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: he just he He considers dudes throwing a break curveball slider,
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: they won't land it for a strike, and when they
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: do late an account, that's when he puts it in play.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: It is summertime. We are in the thick of golf season.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: It's always golf season down in Florida, but we're in
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: the thick of golf season across the country and someone's
• 18:14

  Speaker 3: That's what he said.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: That's what he said, That's what he said.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, lots of quotes. I want to start with Craig Breslow,
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: who is we're still talking about this.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: We're still we didn't get you, all right, We'll make
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: this part quick then if you're sick.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: No, it's just funny that I said, Please, can we
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: stop talking Red Sox and Devor's just trade and we're
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: still talking about this. Okay, We've done three segments on this.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: We do. We do have a show of record vibe too.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Write if something happens.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: To Territory, can't we just kick Scott to Monster Territory
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and he can talk about this for three days straight.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: That's actually a good punishment one day.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: If we want to punish AJ, we make them do
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: a week of Monster Territory instead of about.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: Are we punishing or are we punishing AJ?
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: There's a problem. There's only one problem with that theory.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I'll be asleep by the time that two starts. Most
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: likely it's a postgame show, That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: especially on the West Coast.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I got no shot on the last night anyway.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Craig Breslow said, quote, I do think there's a real
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: chance that at the end of the season, we're looking
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: back and we've won more games than we otherwise would have.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: No way of knowing, no way of knowing.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: That's easy quote to make, like Chret said, you don't know,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I do you know, I don't know. You can't like
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: they can't go if they're gonna go based on like
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: wins above replacement, No chance they're gonna find somebody that's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: going to replace the production that Raffie Devers will give
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the Giants and then say, oh, well if we put
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: that in in our on our team, yeah, then then
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it'll definitely be replaced. No, it's such an arbitrary thing
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: that he's just saying that our clubhouse is going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: be so much better.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: Honestly, they're five hundred team. Maybe they're a five hundred
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: team with Raffi.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: The vibe I got from the execs was that it
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: was really bad. They made it like it was really.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: When people leave, they make them, they make them bet.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you talk crap.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: You know what they've done with pretty much everybody.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want to We don't even want someone
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: like that around the youngsters. It will poison their brains.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: What do they want then, do they just want people
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: getting in line? They just want people getting in line?
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Do they want they want mookie Bets to accept what
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: did you get offered? One hundred and eighty two million,
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy five million. They want Mookie Bets
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: to just get in line and accept that. Now, I'm
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: all about clubhouse vibes and all about clubhouse. You know,
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: dudes that are bad for the clubhouse, I have a
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: tough time. They have to come out and show me
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: how Raffi Devers was this bad for the clubhouse because
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: his production was that good and will be that good
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: for some time.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Agree, here's the thing, and Mookie signed. If you ask
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: David Ortiz, did once you sign, you have to do
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: whatever they tell you to do. That's not what David said. Basically,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: hey you sign, you can't you just have to do
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: whatever they say.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: There's no well, David's the perfect example, no kickback. He's
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: still signed with them. So when they said, hey, we
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: need you to get very vocal about this and trash Devers,
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: he did.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: What he was told.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know that happened, but that's that
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: definitely happened. Pobby even said, He said, the organization is
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: always going to be there. Players come and go. As
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: a player, sometimes you have to put your ego aside
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: and understand that once you get paid, you've got to
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: find a way to do what you're told. No, organizations
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: will always be there.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: You have one career.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: If Raffie Devers wants to stand on his pedestal and
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: say I will not do this, I will not be
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: pushed around.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: That is his one career. The Red Sox will.
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: Continue continue on if he like, if he doesn't believe
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: in what they're doing, that's his only chance to be
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Raffie Devers, the Hall of Famer, Raffi Devs, the multi
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: year All Star. And so I would disagree with Poppy
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: in that sense. Again, I feel like that's a company
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: line that he's saying. You can't just sit there and go, well,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: you know what, the team wants me to do this,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: I will do it. Maybe if you're a coach, but
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: your career is so short, he will be Raffie Devers
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: way longer than he will be Raffi Devers the player.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: So he has to take advantage of a short career.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna use this example. Probably it might be a
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: bad example when I'm still gonna use this example. I
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: played for the Red Sox in twenty fourteen. We weren't
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: very good.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I got DFA, fine whatever. But about two weeks before
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I got DFA from the Red Sox, John Farrell came
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: in and said, no more kids in the clubhouse. Their distraction.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: We're not letting kids. Every kid out. Guess who was
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the most mad and fought it like hell poppy David Ortiz. Right,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: guess who's kid who's still in the clubhouse and was
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: still doing everything and had his own TV show on
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Nessen after all this happened. David Ortiz. I love DiAngelo
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and I've known him since he was born, right, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: love David. I know David since we were in a
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: ball We literally were an a ball together, came all
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the way up.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: But he did he fought that they didn't trade him.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: They didn't trade him, right.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, so you're telling me that superstars sometimes get
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: treated differently, they get a little more leeway, or.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: They get to battle.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: What it's It's just amazing, shocked and appalled, Absolutely shocked
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: and appalled.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this much right now. And I
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: know we're only hitting us in the Red Sox side.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: But if I'm bust or Posy right now, I'm like,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I just got a great steal. Because people are talking
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: about this contract for Raffi Devers. It's a pretty good
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: contract for a twenty eight year old with the numbers
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: he's put up dh first base, third base, wherever you
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: want to stick him in the outfield, whatever it is.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: If he hits the way he's hit, and he drives
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in runs, which they don't do very well, this is
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: a steal for them. I know he has eight more years,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: but that puts him at thirty six. That's not We're
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: not talking Albert Pooles when you get into your forties contract.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: We're talking thirty six. Guys can survive to thirty six
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: as hitters. Okay, and Buster Post he's going he Craig
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Breslo called him. He was like, Buster, what about Devers.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I'll give you a Harrison and Jordan
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Hicks and I don't know these other two guys. And
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Bresil's like, done it. Bruster Posey probably put the phone.
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: Down, was like, hold up, hold up, guys, wait, hold up, Craig, Craig,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: give me two seconds hold on, hey, guys, they'll do
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: this for what we just gave him, And in front
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: of us, we're probably like.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, sign it, sign it, sign it, right, I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: mean seriously, like if you're that's the thing is like,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that's what Jim Biden said yesterday. But to me, that's
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the biggest deal. I don't know. To me, that's the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: thing is that the Giants got markedly better with this
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: duve for not only this year but for the next year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Is they got a star AJ You might disagree with
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: me on this, but I think on this show one
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: thing that we don't do is we don't talk about
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: players who are turns. We kind of like hint around it.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: We kind of as a player. You never really like
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: want to throw a player under the bus.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Us.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: I can tell you for a fact, I have never
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: heard anything remotely close to Raffie Devers being a bad guy.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: So that would be the only like question or the
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: Giants getting a clubhouse cancer. Not a chance, not a
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: chance Like this dude goes out there, plays hits, stingers
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: and drives guys in. I have not If if I
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: hear something, I will say it on the show. But
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: I have never once heard anything about Raffie Devers being
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: a clubhouse cancer, infecting the young guys that are coming up.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Really, he barely talks exactly.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: He doesn't talk. I mean, I don't never play with him,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: but I've known people that are around, and they always
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: said good things.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: He was happy.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: He's a good kid. He works hard, he cares.
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: He's not playing with superstars who are turns and will
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: infect the clubhouse. And I've seen teams guys who then
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: kind of take over and push that turd superstar like, hey,
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: we're gonna be cool right now, Like you gotta be cool,
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: like you can't just be a turd, and it changes it.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: That's adding people, not taking that superstar out of your lineup,
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: off your team forever.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, this might not be the best example either, but
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: he was the best position player on the Sox, right,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: the best bat on the Socks. So let's just take
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: their rival. Aaron Judge in spring training shows up to camp.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yankees go, hey, first base. Let's say they didn't get
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Goldie first base.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: We have a hole there.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: We have more outfielders. We want you to play first base.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: We need you to play first base. Didn't tell him
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: the thing over the offseason, just blitz him right when
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: he gets to spring training. Do you think he'd just
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: be like cool hopping over to first or do you
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: think that he might be a little pissed and be like, no,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I love outfield and I'm playing well there.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Well, we want to preserve you, and we need a
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: first base.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: At first, he'd be like, what's happening. Yeah, Over time,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: if it's communicated properly, he would understand it. It's all
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: about the way it's brought to you. It's all about
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the way it's presented to you. I'll use it. This
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: is a different example. And I don't know, I don't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if if it fits here. But two
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: thousand and seven, okay, two thousand and six, I'm gonna
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: make the All Star team. I had a really good
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: year two thousands and I played like one hundred and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: thirty games. Okay, two thousand and seven, we signed Toby Hall,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: who was a good, good catcher, and I was kind
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: of like, you know, kind of came out of the blue,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: and so I made some calls. I was like, what
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: are we doing. I can play every day. We don't
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: need to, you know, go here, and and some of
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the coaches were honestly, They're like, look, we don't know
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: that you can catch one hundred and thirty games. We're
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: gonna kill you if you keep catching a hundred thirty games.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: So we brought him in to.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Just give you some days off.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You're still gonna catch one hundred and ten, but he's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: gonna get fifty or so. And I was like, okay,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: I understand. Like communication is how it's all brought up, right,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: And I was like okay, But then Toby ended up
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: getting hurt, so it was a null and void but
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: which I feel awful for. But he it was the
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: way it was communicated to me, like they didn't say
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: any thing when it first happens. I was like, why
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: are we making this move? Like I could play one
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two. Then when I talk to people,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: they said, listen, calm down, take a step back, think
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: about this. This is why we're doing it. You're still
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: gonna get your one hundred and ten hundred fifteen games.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Oh did the other games? We have a better shot
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of winning when this guy's in the lineup than what
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: we had. And I was like, okay, understood, It's about
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: communication with the players.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: All right, one more layer here.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Let's show the line from Jeff Ponce on Baseball America
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Hachi yesterday that went viral about the mysterious offer.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: The conversation we have to have is unloading that contract
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: to them in their eyes, is that the best deal possible?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: Because I think it was.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: And you know what I've been told is that there
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: was another deal where they were taking on some of
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: the money. I do not know what pieces were included
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: within that particular deal that was vetoed by John Henry.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: And the reason it was vetoed is because they had
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: to take on money.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: There you go, and that's hot cheap for you.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: By the way, where we talk about the top prospects
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: in the sport, part of the Baseball America content that
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: we put together. Anyway, Craig Beslo came out said, not true.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: What's he gonna say. Of course he's gonna say, not true.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: What he gonna say? Yeah, there was another deal, guys,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: it was better, but man, we weren't gonna take on
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: that money because a couple extra million we couldn't afford.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Of course he's gonna say it's not true.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: My only thing is you better be careful because there's
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: some good insiders out there, and if someone does actually
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: unravel that story and Jeff was on the money, just
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: it doesn't make you look good.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: You better what what's gonna happen something?
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: There are trust issues right now with the fan base.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. He has to say this
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: was the best deal we could get, because if he
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: says no, we're too cheap to take make a better
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: deal because we don't want to pay ten million, fans
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: are gonna go crazy. They're already mad they treat right cratch.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Am I not right on this one. Like if they would,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: if they come out and say, oh, we could have
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: got way better prospects, way better players, well it would
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: cost us ten million dollars. The fans are gonna go crazy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: If there was, like say the Braves really quick after
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: that radio interview, he's like toopless, that never happened.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Never tell a soul that I turned that down anyway.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: This is actually a quote from Buster Posey, their president
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: based operations. I just think that the bat's so special,
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: so do I. My thoughts are it's really hard to
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: acquire the type of talent at this point in his career.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: I agree with that as well.
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: It's pretty unprecedented.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: Apps.
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: We're obviously taking on a lot of money. We're giving
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: up some pitching, giving up our first round pick from
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: last year, that's Tibbs. So this didn't come without a cost.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: But we felt like this was a chance to take
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: a shot. I fully agree if they're willing to get
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: rid of them. I think that the Giants got a
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: w here right. But like I said, personal problems. Who's
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: the third basement? Oh yeah, Matt Chapman, who got paid
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: a bunch of money last year. He's gonna be a
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: full time third baseman they don't have. They don't have
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: him right now. He is nursing a sprain I believe
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: in ankle sprain, but he will be the third baseman.
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: So that leaves first base for Offie. So now we're
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: back to where we were before, because guess who the
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: DH is.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Wilmer Flores, who just.
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: Happens to be leading the Giants in RBIs with fifty
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: one and having the best season he's had in years.
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: So like, you can't just be like, all right, Wilmer
• 32:35
  Speaker 8: was on the hot seat. He has earned a spot.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: He deserves to be out there.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: But again, he's a little bit of a defensive liability
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: as well, so like which guy are going to put
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: in the field?
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Good stuff from Trevor May a lot more that you
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: can get from Trevor his take on Devers to the

• 34:25
  Speaker 1: no chance. These dudes had no chan. Murry State's like,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: that's what the SEC is like. Oh boy, big problems
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Murray State.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: But I mean first round pick.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: He's supposed to be a first rounder. And you know
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: what the best part was too get his pitch count
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: one nineteen one nineteen. They let him finishing. His last
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: pitch was just as hard as his first pitch, ninety eight.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: That'll be the last time you ever go past one ten, buddy.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: No, No, he'll pitch again. He'll pitch again in the
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: next in the next round, and they'll push that man
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: to like one twenty.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Nine and then they gotta win.
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do have to win. That'll be the last time.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: Then they'll be like in a year and.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Then he'll go to Pro Bowl in a month after
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: he signs as the first round and they'll be like,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you get twenty five pitches. He's like, I just do
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty pitch.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: No hitter like.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: Paul.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Right now, he's getting paid well by Arkansas in a
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: huge game, sold out crowds in Omah, and he's gonna
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: blink and he's gonna be like, I'm in the Florida
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: State League or whatever.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: No one's here, and they're only letting me go an
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: inning in a court.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: He's doing this two years ago in Omaha, one hundred
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and twenty pitches routinely. He signs with the Pirates next year.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: They're like, you're gonna start out with one inning twice
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and then maybe by junior you'll get to three innings.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: He's like, man, I've been throwing one hundred and twenty
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: pitches every start.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: The best one that you ever pointed out was Noah Schulton.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I know you're more dialed on the White Sox prospects,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: but you are right because I you know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Well, this year he's actually made it into the fifth inning.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: No, I know that, but I haven't looked at him
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: in the past month. But before that he was really struggling,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, no shit, you'd never let him.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Bitch.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: You took this guy's soul away.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: You said, hey, you're gonna be a little baby starter
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: for a couple of years and then we'll maybe let
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: you walk, you crawl for a while.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: I can't imagine being at that level and then going
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: to rookie ball whatever, the Coast League, whatever it's called now,
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: the Complex League. You learn to run to first base.
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: This dude was just spitting and snorting through a no
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: hitter in the College World Series, and he's gonna go
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: and throw some touch and feels.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Bethan Box Scores. Let's start with the Yankees. John Carlo
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Santin's back. It's been a minute. Remember what he did
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: in October last year?
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they haven't scored a run in like four games.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: I feel it. I know, I got a couple comments.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: You guys gonna talk about the Yankees not scoring runs
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: in fifty something, and now I was trying to take
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: a break from the Yankees and talking about them. And also,
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, who cares? So the Yankees are in an
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: offensive rutt shocker. Every team goes through that. But here's
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: big g back for the Yanks, entertaining player to watch.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: So for me as a baseball fan, cool for Yankees fans,
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: they should be excited. And it's the same theory that
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: some of the playoff locks have.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: My question is because AJ will give us his comment
• 37:29
  Speaker 5: on g later. But John Carlos Stanton's up hitting and
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: he's got an extra pair of batting gloves in his
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: back pocket.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: He's so drippy like he is the he is the
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: quintessential drip king.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, John Carlos Stantons.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, story, it's awesome.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: But did you see how unlucky the Yankees gotten was?
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I think it was the ninth inning where they pinched
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: ran for him and the guy was stealing third and
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the grub ball went right to the third base. We
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: just tagged a guy and got crushed by the runner.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Did you see that play?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I did.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: It was crazy, so it was right Stanton hits a
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: leadoff double and whoever pitch someone pitch ran for him,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: and whoever pitch ran for him with stealing third, Jason
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the Marsian ringos and then Volpia I think hits a
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: ground ball right to the third base and just covered third.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: He tags him and they basically got out of the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: inning and then lost one nothing with eleven or twelve
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and Christian Moore got his first hit. So yep, but
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that was one of the crazier players I've ever seen
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: because normally the guy covers the ball goes right to
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: where he was standing and it's basin, the game's over.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: No right to the third basement, tags him out to
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: get out of the inning, and right that's the game
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Kenley was pitching. And you know, people get on against Kenley,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: they just take off.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's been his thing for a while. But yeah,
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: one nothing lost for the Yanks. Let's get to a
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: couple others. Ryan Pepio dominated start up his career, probably
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: unless I'm missing something, eight innings, wan and run eleven
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: punch outs. He's got a three to one one ERA
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: and actually he has better overall numbers than Glass now
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: has since the trade I mean, the Rays got themselves
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: something special.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Pepio is really damn good.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Well, definitely, as.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: He played for the Dodgers, there's no way they would
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: have let him throw this long dodd The Rays have
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: gone away from the opener because they're like, oh wait,
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: we have starters that can start and go. It's like
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: everybody will follow the Rays. Hey, we got to do
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: openers like the Rays, and the Rays are like, we
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: don't want to do this. We have to do it
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: based on who we.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: Have bingo and crats.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: To me, the theme that the Rays are rolling with
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: now is babying pitchers does nothing in a vacuum. In
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: maybe some cases you need to do it. In most cases,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: let it eat right. We're not doing the old days
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: of one hundred and thirty forty pitches.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: We need to see what organization figures out who who
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: did not hurt their pitchers, And to me, the only
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: way it happens before we go to Slaphands is somebody
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: has to lose their job if people get hurt. No
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: organization ever fires anybody because they're getting hurt.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Nobody's accountable except the pitchers are gone and they just
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: bring the next.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Guy up last th But yeah, anyway, Pepio dominated against
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I know the Orioles have been really bad this year,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: but they're playing much better lately. Their lineup is much more.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: In fact, he went through a good lineup. The lineup's
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: not the problem for the Oriols. It was a problem earlier.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Now it's goods good for him, Yeah, yeah, but.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Their whole starting staff has been good. That's kind of
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: why they're in and that's why they're playing so well
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: right now. Look at their numbers. They're crazy good right now.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: And then one more, Nick Kurtz walk off. Oh, just
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: a great moment.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, the A's have been going through it, especially
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: at home lately, but four hundred forty seven feet and
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: he had this genuine joy when he.
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: Looked back at the dugout. That felt collegey to me
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: because a year ago he was in college. Cool.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: His helmet almost came off, he swung so hard.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so they walk off the Astros the A's
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: three to one. Who wants to win the Al West?

• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Ayes have some dudes that that can swing it. Their

  Speaker 2: pictures have just been brutal, especially their bullpen, and it's
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: well documented that they're struggling to pitch at home, including
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: sever Reno. Last thought here thumbs up or thumbs down.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Luis Severino traded at the deadline. I actually think he's
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: gonna get dealt. No, I think I think this is
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: the time. There's not that many guys like him available.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: He's pitching insane on the road. He looks just as
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: good as he did last year. If you got him
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: out of that part.

  Speaker 1: Smarter than you. He made a movie about himself.
