  10 gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take, where we talk all
• 0:04
  things Major League Baseball. Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate
• 0:09
  Reyes. It all starts right now.
• 0:14
  Welcome back to the three O take presented by Chinook Seatery.

  This is episode 531. I'll be your host, Kyle Cord.
• 0:19
  I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes.
• 0:22
  Nate Casey, how are we? Hey, hey, hey.
• 0:29
  What you got to say? It's the best New Balance?
• 0:37
  What if someday we're sponsoring New Balance and they pull up
• 0:40
  receipts? What about what about what we're
• 0:44
  doing is, is worthy of, like revoking said, sponsorship?
• 0:49
  I mean, we're vibing with what they're putting out there.
• 0:54
  I said last episode, when's the last time you bought something
• 0:57
  or wore something? New Balance.
• 1:01
  That could change. I feel like I would shift gears.
• 1:04
  Yeah, if that if we if we hauled in a hauled in a big fish like
• 1:08
  that you. Know I mean no free ads, but
• 1:10
  don't sleep on New Balance. I mean they not baseball.
• 1:14
  By the way, did you know that Shohei is?
• 1:18
  Really. Yeah, actually, yeah.
• 1:20
  He's a big, big time New Balance guy.
• 1:24
  In case, in case you didn't know, watching MLB Network, Big,
• 1:29
  big New Balance guy. He's pretty good at baseball.
• 1:32
  And it's a little known fact around this business they call
• 1:38
  Show where you want to start, You want to start?
• 1:44
  How about no? You know what, let's start with
• 1:46
  this. Let's start by you or, or with
• 1:52
  you introducing a little idea you had over the weekend.
• 1:57
  You hit me up with. A new Sunday segment.
• 2:01
  It's a new Sunday segment. We're going to pull some type of
• 2:09
  broadcast call, whether it be TV or radio.
• 2:15
  Might have a clip, might not. We're going to play it and then
• 2:18
  we're going to rate it and I feel like what a great way to
• 2:23
  kick it off with something historic that was done this
• 2:27
  weekend. You set me up, Is that?
• 2:35
  Is that my cue? That was teeing you up.
• 2:36
  Yeah. All right.
• 2:37
  All right. Here we go.
• 2:38
  Here we go. You're texting.
• 2:39
  What do we? What do we?
• 2:40
  Go. I'm getting the word out about
• 2:42
  lock it in. What we're doing.
• 2:43
  All right, I'm locked in. Here we go.
• 2:44
  Here we go. Historic Eugenio Suarez.
• 2:51
  Libel. There's 4.
• 2:55
  Edward Town. 5. There have been 19 four Homer
• 3:15
  games in Major League history, the last two by the Arizona
• 3:20
  Diamondbacks. JD Martinez in 2017 at Dodger
• 3:24
  Stadium and today at Chase Field.
• 3:32
  Eugenio Suarez A4 Homer game we're.
• 3:34
  Going to rate the call first. Hold on, I'm laying the
• 3:37
  groundwork, man. I'm laying the groundwork.
• 3:39
  Eugenio Suarez, 19 player in Major League history to hit 4
• 3:44
  homers in a game, in a game in which they would go on to lose
• 3:49
  to the Atlanta Braves. That was a great game by the
• 3:52
  way. Don't know how much of that you
• 3:54
  caught. Wish I could have watched.
• 3:57
  Yeah, it's that's on Uncle Robbie, isn't it?
• 4:02
  The call, though, Take us away. I think it was solid.
• 4:11
  I don't think it was fantastic. The my my struggle with this is
• 4:15
  that it is an historic moment like that.
• 4:20
  These are more rare than perfect games, which is crazy.
• 4:26
  There's been, I think 24. As our as our triple plays if
• 4:30
  I'm not mistaken. No triple blaze are huge.
• 4:32
  I saw a graphic today. No.
• 4:34
  Then what am I thinking of? There's something that we've
• 4:36
  talked about before where it's like even more rare than a.
• 4:40
  There was the Yankees graphic today during the broadcast
• 4:45
  showed like there was, this is the 19th, 4th home run, four
• 4:50
  home run game. There's been 24 perfect games
• 4:52
  and there's like a huge jump to like six hit games and then
• 4:58
  triple plays. There's been like like almost
• 5:03
  200 triple plays. So it's, yeah, maybe.
• 5:07
  Four Homer. Yeah, maybe that is what we were
• 5:09
  talking about. Yeah, I think this is like the
• 5:11
  most, it's the most rare thing. Maybe we were talking like 20
• 5:17
  Strikeout games, something like that.
• 5:19
  That's obviously more rare. Could have been that.
• 5:23
  Hold on, I got to get to the bottom of this.
• 5:27
  Is a triple play more rare? Why?
• 5:33
  Just put in how many? Unassisted, that's what it was.
• 5:36
  That's what we OK, because I was like, we haven't talked about a
• 5:39
  four Homer game in a minute. It's the unassisted triple play.
• 5:42
  That's what's more rare than a perfect game.
• 5:44
  Noted. OK, but back to this call anyway
• 5:48
  I think. You want to run it back?
• 5:50
  Should we run it back? Should we?
• 5:51
  Should we run it back? Let's give it one more.
• 5:53
  Did you already give a grade? Sorry, I was looking that up.
• 5:55
  OK, let's run it back one more time.
• 5:56
  You're all. Over.
• 5:58
  The place today there's 4 Edward tied.
• 6:19
  There have been 19 four Homer games in Major League history,
• 6:24
  the last two by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
• 6:28
  JD Martinez in 2017 at Dodger Stadium and today at Chase.
• 6:38
  I'm going to give it a 6.7. I think it was.
• 6:42
  I think it was exciting. I think it was solid.
• 6:47
  We have heard that broadcasters have this moment where they let
• 6:54
  the crowd, like they call at the moment, breathe or like let the
• 6:57
  crowd kind of come through. In the chat, Andrew says his
• 7:00
  call is pretty legendary. I love when the announcer just
• 7:02
  shut up for a SEC. Let the crowd noise shine.
• 7:04
  I think that's that's an important aspect to it.
• 7:09
  I think it was cool that he tied in some history and kind of
• 7:12
  talked about that because like I in reality, you don't you don't
• 7:19
  prep that before a game. Once he hit his third, I'm sure
• 7:23
  there was some notes that were thrown his way in preparation
• 7:25
  for it, but I think I think it's a 6.7.
• 7:28
  I think there was almost too much time to let the crowd
• 7:32
  breathe and. Yeah, that's a good call.
• 7:34
  That's a good call. I think it was.
• 7:39
  It was probably caught up in the fact that it was such a back and
• 7:43
  forth game that you almost lost the moment as much if it was a
• 7:48
  blowout or if it was like a even like a three or four run game.
• 7:52
  But the fact that it was like it was to tie the game is late in
• 7:56
  the game. Those kind of spilled into what
• 7:59
  could have been like a super historic thing.
• 8:03
  So that that's why I'm going 6-7.
• 8:06
  I'm going to, I'm going to jot these numbers down, maybe keep a
• 8:09
  running, running tally as we go along.
• 8:13
  Yeah, I'm with you. A little too much, little too
• 8:15
  much dead time there in between, but.
• 8:17
  A little, a little too much. I think I'd probably prefer a
• 8:21
  little more than not enough because if you're just running
• 8:23
  your mouth, yeah, sometimes it takes away my.
• 8:28
  OK, here's my thing. My favorite element of a good
• 8:31
  call is when you got the color guy, the like the partner beside
• 8:36
  him freaking out. Yeah, behind, like behind
• 8:41
  whatever he's saying. And he was losing it.
• 8:43
  It just adds a little bit of flair.
• 8:48
  But I would have loved. I mean, it's tough to to go up
• 8:53
  into like the sevenths or eights on something like this.
• 8:55
  I mean, I'm going to need a little more juice, adequate
• 8:58
  juice. Adequate juice, but I'm going to
• 9:03
  go I'm. Going to go 6/4.
• 9:08
  Oh, all right. I'm.
• 9:09
  Going to go 6/4. I thought it was.
• 9:11
  I thought it was harsh at 6-7 so.
• 9:14
  I mean 6-4 is nothing to turn your nose.
• 9:16
  Around the same page, but either way, look, new segment, we're
• 9:21
  going to this. I think this is the Sunday
• 9:22
  segment. I mean, I like that we're
• 9:25
  starting sort of like middle of the road.
• 9:27
  I mean, it was a, it was a good call.
• 9:28
  But I mean, if you start, if you start with the the call of the
• 9:32
  season, then it's only downhill from here.
• 9:35
  Yeah. So this, this is this is a big
• 9:39
  we're going to need, you're going to need your help as a
• 9:42
  listener. You know, if you got moments,
• 9:44
  you got calls. Doesn't have to be like it
• 9:46
  doesn't have to be a home run. It could be a but a diving play.
• 9:49
  It could be. It could be radio.
• 9:51
  By the way, it doesn't have to be TV.
• 9:52
  Oh, radios, radio, they have to make it work because you got as
• 9:56
  a as a on the radio call, you got to paint a picture.
• 10:00
  Sometimes those are better. Than than than so I think what
• 10:04
  this will do. Can we give him his flowers?
• 10:06
  By the way, I don't know this this broadcaster's name.
• 10:13
  I think that's something important too.
• 10:15
  We can get that's. True.
• 10:16
  Yeah, let's, let's spread. The name of broadcasters 'cause
• 10:20
  that's not overly common unless you're like a fan of that team.
• 10:25
  Isn't Bob Brendley in the booth? Well, he was.
• 10:31
  I don't know if he is since this new.
• 10:34
  Yeah, Bob Brendley's in the booth.
• 10:35
  Is he? Steve D Backs fans going to have
• 10:39
  to help me out here. I can never pronounce his name.
• 10:41
  Steve Burethane, Bure fame, BERTHIAUME.
• 10:53
  That's a tough one. That is tough.
• 10:55
  Tough one to start out, but. Anyway, it's easy for you to sit
• 10:58
  there and and scoff at my pronunciations when I'm always
• 11:01
  the guy that's doing the pronunciating.
• 11:03
  He. Could he?
• 11:04
  I feel like he used to be like an ESPN guy too, or like like a
• 11:08
  Sports Center guy back in the day.
• 11:11
  Steve Berthum, maybe? That sounds right, but anyway
• 11:15
  would love, would love help on this.
• 11:18
  Send us, send us certain plays we can dig up calls.
• 11:21
  He was. ESPN Guy Sports Center.
• 11:22
  Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 11:25
  But yeah, send us stuff. Could be throughout the week,
• 11:28
  but Sunday, Sunday segment, I don't know.
• 11:32
  We don't have a name for it yet, but we'll figure out.
• 11:35
  I like this. I like it.
• 11:39
  Yeah, Eugenio Suarez all coming in a loss, which is certainly
• 11:45
  unfortunate, but what can you do?
• 11:51
  Speaking of what can you do? Devin Williams removed as a
• 11:53
  closer the very next episode after we talked about where the
• 11:58
  panic meter is at for certain closers around the league, one
• 12:02
  of one of whom being Devin Williams.
• 12:05
  No longer the closer for the time being.
• 12:08
  Did he blow a save that night or was it the next night your.
• 12:11
  Guy it. Was the next night.
• 12:13
  He made the announcement today, I think.
• 12:16
  Yeah, but he blew a save. Friday, I think it would have
• 12:21
  been Thursday. Well when we recorded he, I
• 12:24
  think he only had 9 appearances at that point last time we
• 12:27
  talked. So if he did, because I think
• 12:29
  he's only got 10 now. Yeah, I think it was Friday.
• 12:35
  Yeah, I mean, tough man. I like that Luke Weaver we
• 12:45
  talked about this last episode. I like that Luke Weaver is kind
• 12:49
  of getting his opportunity again.
• 12:52
  Yeah, because I I hate to say it, but I liked him in that
• 12:55
  spot. I, I think he's a like mentally,
• 12:58
  I think he's got the make up for it, it seems.
• 13:03
  And he's something that doesn't really matter or, or impact what
• 13:09
  he's doing this year or really any other year for that matter.
• 13:11
  I just think it's an interesting observation.
• 13:13
  And I've mentioned this, I think last year during the postseason
• 13:17
  when he was really getting a shine.
• 13:19
  Very similar build to Young MO, if if we're being honest, that's
• 13:24
  true. Very, very similar build.
• 13:27
  So who knows, maybe Luke Weaver. What was that comp I made the
• 13:34
  other day? Chris Bassett is this
• 13:37
  generation's Nolan Ryan, Maybe. Maybe Luke Weaver is this
• 13:41
  generation's Mariano. Yeah, maybe that's tough.
• 13:47
  Sorry I was looking something up but.
• 13:50
  Man, yeah, I tough crowd with Nate today.
• 13:54
  He is just not. Not dialed.
• 13:59
  He's not dialed. He's not he's not letting me be
• 14:03
  me. He's not letting me be me.
• 14:05
  Is is what I'm gathering. He's.
• 14:06
  Yeah, I'm I'm the problem here. Real critical.
• 14:10
  Trying to have a good time on this on this Sunday evening.
• 14:14
  Yeah, like I said, I'm glad we're here Sunday.
• 14:16
  At least it's not Monday. Preach.
• 14:20
  Yeah, dude, we talked about it already.
• 14:22
  He's not spotting fastball. And when you're a two pitch
• 14:26
  pitcher, the the change up, it needs the fastball, it needs
• 14:30
  that it's it's it's not effective without it.
• 14:36
  I've got a number here for you. It's.
• 14:39
  Going to be ugly. Where is it?
• 14:42
  Let me make sure I got it. Batters had an O97 average last
• 14:47
  year against his change up. They're hitting 27273 against it
• 14:52
  this season. Yeah, dude, 'cause like he's hit
• 14:55
  it. They're they're hitting 462
• 14:57
  against his fastball, which is up from 111 last year.
• 15:02
  Yeah, dude, if you're at least the last few appearances he's
• 15:07
  been yanking, he's been yanking fastball like glove side and
• 15:13
  just not being able to throw for a strike.
• 15:16
  So it's like guys are able to sit in that change up.
• 15:18
  If you see a change up down, you can leave it down.
• 15:22
  If you see that change up up in the zone, you know the fastball
• 15:25
  is not going to be in the zone. It has to be the change up.
• 15:27
  So get after it. And that's what's been
• 15:29
  happening. He's walking guys.
• 15:32
  It's just, it hasn't looked good.
• 15:34
  He's not getting ahead. It's it's a lot of full counts.
• 15:36
  It's just, it's super ugly. I said it before, I'm I'm still
• 15:42
  on the fence of like whether he's it, whether New York is, is
• 15:46
  the right fit. I don't know if I'm just picking
• 15:50
  up on like his vibe and pressers and and interviews and stuff.
• 15:57
  It's hard to tell because there's, it's weird.
• 16:01
  Like there's, there's this level of like accountability that you
• 16:04
  feel like you want a player to have and take like take on an
• 16:07
  accountability ability with the struggles.
• 16:15
  But at the same time, like I, it's weird.
• 16:17
  I I don't, I can't pick up on on the way he's saying stuff.
• 16:22
  It just doesn't seem super accountable.
• 16:24
  And then it's it's also it's tough, man.
• 16:27
  Like it's not easy to again, coming over from Milwaukee, a
• 16:31
  long established career going to New York, but like he didn't do
• 16:39
  well in spring. Pete may have broke him, dude.
• 16:43
  That's very possible, but don't make me feel old.
• 16:46
  You said long established career.
• 16:48
  Don't make me feel old with this.
• 16:50
  How long was he in Milwaukee? How long was he in Milwaukee?
• 16:56
  Well, he's the setup man behind Hater for at least he was in.
• 17:01
  Milwaukee for six years, that's. What I was going to say 6.
• 17:07
  That's right, because that he would have been the setup guy
• 17:10
  for hater, like you said, 19 or he was at least in the mix in 19
• 17:18
  his first year, the year the that was the nationals World
• 17:22
  Series year. Not that's who they random
• 17:25
  tidbit, that's who they played in the wild card game.
• 17:28
  I don't know man, but. It's this is the guy that they
• 17:31
  this is the guy they changed the beard rule for.
• 17:34
  This guy. What?
• 17:38
  No, what it what's? Who was the most vocal about?
• 17:42
  It he wasn't that vocal about it, he didn't really say
• 17:47
  anything. It was.
• 17:48
  It was all the fans making fun of the way he looked because he
• 17:52
  doesn't have a chin, which was probably a part I would, I
• 17:56
  would. This headline This headline from
• 17:59
  ESPN Devin Williams help spur new facial hair rule I.
• 18:07
  Don't know. I don't know how how much I'm
• 18:09
  buying in on it. You say you're not buying Jeff
• 18:11
  Passan's article. Is that what you're telling me?
• 18:14
  No, because every every other article said that this this
• 18:18
  wasn't the the deciding factor. But whatever, it is what it is.
• 18:25
  I hopefully steps into a different role and and figures
• 18:29
  it out. But I got I don't have much
• 18:35
  expectation in that area. I got the I got short porch
• 18:41
  today. I I saw what is that?
• 18:50
  What's I can never remember the handle.
• 18:52
  But if you know, if you know, you know the New York Post short
• 18:57
  porch. It's like the it's like the the
• 18:59
  parody account they said they tweeted out today or today or
• 19:03
  yesterday or something, something New York, something,
• 19:09
  something to the effect of Yankees have announced that they
• 19:12
  are changing or that they are forcing Devin Williams to shave
• 19:19
  in hopes that it will motivate him to return complete status.
• 19:24
  I'm like, I mean, if there was a team that was going to get weird
• 19:27
  with their kind of already weird facial hair system that they've
• 19:34
  already made tweaks to this year, obviously it'd be the
• 19:37
  Yankees. So yeah, that was not a good
• 19:41
  look for me. But I use critical thinking.
• 19:43
  And I said, let me go back and check my source.
• 19:45
  And I read it again and realized that good for you.
• 19:49
  Not the case. How long do you think this
• 19:53
  lasts? How long, or I should say how
• 19:58
  long do you think it's till he's back in the close role?
• 20:03
  Because he's, he's not, he's not being demoted.
• 20:05
  I mean, he's not being sent down, I should say.
• 20:08
  He's just being given low leverage.
• 20:10
  Barring injury, can we just say post All Star break?
• 20:18
  You think that long? Yeah, really, Weaver's not going
• 20:22
  to. He's not going to lose this role
• 20:26
  unless he's hurt. He's not going to lose this
• 20:28
  role. This is going to have to be
• 20:29
  something of like Weaver has has closed out two or three
• 20:37
  consecutive games and it's a close one.
• 20:40
  And and you know, the bullpens tax, like we got to go to him
• 20:44
  again, like, and that's after, I don't know, at least 10 or 15
• 20:51
  solid appearances, which isn't looking to be happening anytime
• 20:56
  soon. Like he's clearly going to have
• 20:58
  to figure something out. I don't know man.
• 21:02
  But is Devin Williams not the de facto closer?
• 21:06
  And if he shows that he can, at least that he's not.
• 21:09
  He's not giving up run after run after run that just it's a it'd
• 21:14
  be a matter of time before he's back into the role that he was
• 21:16
  given. I think he would have to not
• 21:21
  only figure his stuff out, he would have to outperform Weaver.
• 21:31
  Which is hard to judge as a lower leverage guy at that
• 21:34
  point, yeah. Which is like, I don't, that's
• 21:37
  what I'm saying. Like I don't, I don't think it's
• 21:41
  going to be anytime soon. I don't think it's going to be
• 21:44
  anytime soon. I was.
• 21:45
  Thinking like a month but. You're saying post break?
• 21:51
  I was looking something up earlier because Michael Kay said
• 21:55
  something kind of crazy on the broadcast when they were talking
• 21:57
  about it. And he said that I didn't know
• 22:00
  this. It was like back in the late
• 22:01
  70s, Sparky Lyle won the Cy Young as a closer.
• 22:06
  And then the next year, the Yankees brought in Goose
• 22:13
  Gossage. And it's just like, it's just
• 22:16
  wild to hear that. It's wild to hear that, man.
• 22:20
  It's just it's, it's a crazy position.
• 22:22
  We talked about the last episode.
• 22:24
  It's it's a very one of the most difficult positions roles to
• 22:30
  have in baseball. And I I don't dislike Devin
• 22:35
  Williams and in fact, I think Mark Leiter junior is more of a
• 22:39
  bomb than Devin Williams is right now.
• 22:40
  So that's where I'm at. The bullpen is is shaky, man.
• 22:46
  They have Loaisiga potentially coming back soon.
• 22:50
  This Fernando Cruz cat, if you haven't watched that splitter
• 22:54
  that he throws, it's unreal. It's just it's kind of like a
• 22:59
  knuckleball. It's insane.
• 23:02
  That is likely going to step into a bigger role.
• 23:04
  So I don't know, man, I don't know.
• 23:08
  They put up some good runs this weekend.
• 23:09
  But like, outside of that, this bullpen does not give me a ton
• 23:13
  of faith. Nate, we are one month
• 23:19
  officially into the MLB season, having started having started
• 23:23
  the season with Opening Day on March 27th.
• 23:26
  It is. Did that happen fast for you or
• 23:29
  or slow? It's hard to say, right?
• 23:39
  I feel like a lot has happened in a month.
• 23:41
  A lot has happened. I'm kind of with you where
• 23:45
  you're like, how are we still in April?
• 23:48
  There's a, there's a lot of mixed emotions there, but the,
• 23:51
  the fact of the matter is we're a month in and to your point, a
• 23:55
  lot has happened. So let's let's sort of talk
• 23:58
  about where, where we're at a month in.
• 24:01
  And to those saying, well, how can you really take stock and
• 24:04
  anything that's going on a month into the season like we talked
• 24:08
  about? What else we have to go off
• 24:11
  well. Yeah, what else we have to go
• 24:13
  off of? But you got to keep in mind.
• 24:15
  Recording in June, I don't. Know, yeah, I mean, we could.
• 24:20
  We could, we could. I mean, if we, if we sign off
• 24:24
  here, if, if, if it's what the people prefer, we can, we can.
• 24:28
  I think that's rude. We lay low until July, baby,
• 24:32
  post post break. No, but the the, the fact of the
• 24:37
  matter is, is these games that people don't want to talk about
• 24:39
  it, they don't want to acknowledge it, they don't want
• 24:40
  to admit it, but these games are just as important as the games
• 24:43
  that happened in the second-half, last third of the
• 24:46
  season. Because like we talked about, if
• 24:48
  you're able to stack wins, you're able to offset the
• 24:52
  inevitable slide that always hits.
• 24:53
  No matter the team, no matter the division, no matter the
• 24:55
  league, the slide is coming for your team.
• 24:58
  Some, some teams are just in a, a perpetual slide, it seems.
• 25:06
  Colorado Rockies. I'm looking at you, Nate.
• 25:08
  Did you? I laughed when before we started
• 25:11
  recording, I laughed and I was laughing because I I'd actually
• 25:15
  looked. I did myself a disservice and I
• 25:17
  looked at the bottom of the National League West.
• 25:21
  Nate, they're 4 and 23. They've won one game on the
• 25:26
  road. For there there are one in 14 on
• 25:33
  the road they're. 69 negative, 69 in.
• 25:39
  The differential The Chicago White Sox, who were the worst
• 25:43
  team of all time last year, have won three more games.
• 25:53
  The Rockies could be on. Won't watch already?
• 25:57
  The a year, a season after the White Sox do it, is what you're
• 26:07
  saying? Is that where we're at?
• 26:09
  I think that's where we're at. They're closing out with the
• 26:12
  Braves. They're closing out the month
• 26:13
  with the Braves. Wow.
• 26:15
  I mean, talk about a chance to get back on track.
• 26:22
  No, I'm just. Kidding, Braves are 7 and Braves
• 26:24
  are 7 and three in the last 10. Give them their give them their
• 26:26
  credit, give them their credit. But looking around the league
• 26:28
  though, anything, anything jump out at you at month in?
• 26:36
  I knew the Orioles pitching was going to be was going to be
• 26:39
  rough. I just didn't expect them to be
• 26:46
  this this bad this early, running out the bottom of the AO
• 26:52
  E at 10 and 17. Orioles fans are, and I, I, I
• 26:57
  hate going back to this. Well, but Orioles fans are down
• 27:00
  real bad right now because I'm seeing too many tweets being
• 27:03
  like, man, we just really need Zach Eflin to get back.
• 27:06
  Do you hear yourselves? Do you?
• 27:08
  Is that is that your savior? Is that what?
• 27:10
  Is that where we're at? Baltimore Orioles?
• 27:13
  Come on. That's a low.
• 27:15
  It has to be. I've been throwing way too much
• 27:18
  shade at Zac Eflin but it's it's more.
• 27:20
  Yeah. I mean that's it's more.
• 27:21
  About the state of their staff. Yeah, that's what it is.
• 27:23
  It's absolutely a ricochet. But it's a valid point because
• 27:29
  that guy should not be here to save the day for you.
• 27:34
  It's just rough, man. I you got to wonder.
• 27:42
  You got to wonder when. I mean, I know it's not even may
• 27:46
  yet, but like how long of a leash does Brandon I'd have?
• 27:50
  Let's be honest, I think that's a legitimate question.
• 27:54
  How long of a leash do you think he has?
• 28:00
  I mean. Is it on him though?
• 28:02
  We spent we spent all offseason saying all do something, do
• 28:08
  something. Absolutely think it's on the
• 28:10
  front office but someone heads are heads have to roll.
• 28:14
  As they always do. But it's just, it just seems
• 28:17
  unfair. It does it really seems unfair
• 28:20
  because this is the guy who we talked years ago about you, you
• 28:25
  brought back after, after how many seasons of just total slop.
• 28:30
  You're like, all right, you, you earned, you earned this an
• 28:34
  opportunity to yeah, you earned this opportunity to to ride it
• 28:37
  out with these young guns and a, a, a team that we're going to
• 28:41
  supplement with talent. They didn't do that.
• 28:43
  They just they continued to ride this, this train of like 18 year
• 28:49
  old blondies that look like they're 12.
• 28:53
  And they said this is what we've got.
• 28:55
  Best of luck. And while they haven't exactly
• 28:58
  been terrible, you're you need more than than that.
• 29:02
  Yeah, the roster configuration is just.
• 29:05
  It's bad, but. Because as we saw, as we saw in
• 29:11
  the postseason back-to-back years, young, young talent can
• 29:17
  only get you so far. You need experience, you need
• 29:20
  veterans, you need guys that have been around the block.
• 29:22
  They didn't do that. And if they, if they, if they
• 29:24
  consider Tyler O'Neill that guy, yeah, I hate to break it to you,
• 29:29
  that's not going to get it. It's been terrible, by the way.
• 29:32
  Terrible. He had his opening day shine and
• 29:36
  really hasn't been in the news since.
• 29:37
  So. You want to popcorn this or do
• 29:40
  you want me to hit you with another one?
• 29:42
  Hit me with another one. That's a good point in the chat,
• 29:47
  Laura in the chat. Well, last thing on the OS last
• 29:50
  thing on the OS, Laura makes a good point.
• 29:51
  Hyde changes the lineup almost every day.
• 29:53
  I'm seeing a lot of that from Royals fans that they're just
• 29:56
  like, even if the lineup is bad, give us give us a little
• 30:00
  consistency, like give these guys a chance to because I mean,
• 30:05
  you and I both know sometimes you need to, to get settled in a
• 30:11
  position in the lineup. Like if you're, if you're going
• 30:13
  to be a bottom half guy, you know, you're going to get
• 30:16
  attacked pretty early. So like that changes your
• 30:18
  approach. If you're going to, if you're
• 30:21
  one through 4 guy, you're going to get approached differently.
• 30:24
  But if you're if you're constantly being bounced around,
• 30:27
  you have no one, you're not, you're not, you don't have any
• 30:30
  consistency in a slot. And two, you don't have the
• 30:32
  opportunity to mentally prepare for how you're going to be
• 30:35
  approached as a hitter in a given slot because you're going
• 30:38
  to be in a different slot the next night.
• 30:40
  I agree. I, I, I'm not saying he's
• 30:43
  blameless. I'm not saying that he deserves
• 30:45
  all the blame, but it's a little bit different when when you're
• 30:51
  managing a team with expectations and he's been there
• 30:55
  long enough where majority of the seasons didn't have
• 30:59
  expectations. And I feel like the sample size
• 31:02
  has been big enough. We're we're, we're over 2 years
• 31:07
  at this point with young talent and a lot of hype and a lot of
• 31:12
  excitement and especially new ownership and new vibes around
• 31:16
  the city. Like I just don't think the
• 31:20
  leash is super long. I saw it's not all his fault,
• 31:24
  but. I saw a tweet or a comment or
• 31:27
  something talking about how Orioles fans got duped by
• 31:31
  Rubenstein's optimism, saying he's going to come in and and
• 31:35
  chain change, change the narrative, and people bought it,
• 31:39
  including myself. I was like, all right, this guy,
• 31:42
  this guy seems legit. It's tough, man.
• 31:45
  Kind of like the Stevie Cohen route, but Stevie Cohen actually
• 31:48
  backed it up. And he was, I mean, he's in the
• 31:51
  crowd, he's tossing out hats, he's in the splash zone.
• 31:56
  It's tough to see. It's tough to see.
• 31:57
  Maybe we need to get Ryan on soon and and kind of pick his
• 32:00
  brain that he's so optimistic, but.
• 32:03
  Ryan needs to be manager maybe I think this is where is where
• 32:07
  this. Maybe.
• 32:08
  This story goes next. Anyway, I was, I was starting to
• 32:11
  get after it, but how about the A's at at 500 ball right now?
• 32:16
  You know, go ahead. And that's solid.
• 32:18
  You don't need to convince me, guy.
• 32:22
  You need to take a look in the mirror because.
• 32:24
  I don't need to take a look in the mirror, I just.
• 32:26
  Don't have You need to look, you need to take a look in the
• 32:29
  mirror. Is what you need to do.
• 32:33
  You're insane. There's a happy medium of the
• 32:36
  way we need to look at this team and the way you're looking at it
• 32:39
  and the way a lot of people have been looking at it in the past.
• 32:42
  But anyway, I don't want to I don't want to waste time on
• 32:45
  that. I'd like to talk about it looks
• 32:49
  good. It looks impressive.
• 32:50
  I get that it's, you know, it's a minor league ballpark and
• 32:53
  maybe the offense is over performing, but like, I don't
• 32:56
  know, man, I like the young kids.
• 32:58
  I like that Severino has like what I would assume stepped into
• 33:04
  like a pretty cool unique roll over there.
• 33:09
  Seems like he's doing pretty well with it.
• 33:11
  So that was my other thing that I just looking at this kind of
• 33:17
  jumped out at me. You got anything?
• 33:23
  Sorry, I was trying to confirm a stat.
• 33:26
  You said A's and who did you follow up with?
• 33:29
  No one. Just ace.
• 33:32
  Just. Ace, you're just so locked in
• 33:33
  today, man. Just got the got the beach
• 33:36
  mentality that you're trying to you still got sand in in your
• 33:39
  shorts over there sand. Everywhere, dude, no, but you're
• 33:43
  talking about the apes keeping it in that division, though.
• 33:45
  I was going to say I'm, I'm, I'm pleasantly surprised with what
• 33:48
  the Mariners have done this far. Kind of I, I think people had
• 33:52
  them in the mix and I it's a month in, not saying they're
• 33:58
  running away with the West by double digit games, but the fact
• 34:03
  that I mean, the Rangers are doing, I think what we thought
• 34:05
  they would do the Astros right there sort of in in the hunt in
• 34:11
  that division as well. And I think that's going to be
• 34:13
  the case. But the Mariners being the ones
• 34:15
  that are out front a month in is, is surprising.
• 34:17
  The Angels, Whatever. I mean, there's guys with it
• 34:21
  going back to the Mariners. There's guys that are hitting
• 34:23
  that. This is what we've said, This is
• 34:25
  what's been said for a few years now is that like somebody has to
• 34:28
  start hitting there and it's starting to happen.
• 34:31
  Not Julio Rodriguez, but. Which is, I don't want to go
• 34:37
  down this rabbit hole, but what's going on there, man?
• 34:41
  Like I've. I've been saying it, I what's
• 34:44
  what's happening? I've been saying it like.
• 34:46
  Where? When does the narrative change
• 34:49
  with Julio Rodriguez? And I'm not trying like I'm I'm
• 34:52
  really not trying to to to crap on the guy.
• 34:55
  I'm really not. But she.
• 34:58
  Got a 674 OPS you struck out 31 times already I mean.
• 35:07
  What is it about? Are we is are.
• 35:17
  Are we going to start going down like a Louise Robert path?
• 35:20
  At least Louise Robert had like injuries to blame.
• 35:24
  I don't know what's going on with this, this fall off.
• 35:28
  I know it's early. I know that I, I, I may look at
• 35:32
  Julio Rodriguez in a different light than most fans.
• 35:35
  I just don't. I don't see enough there.
• 35:41
  I think he was just overhyped. I I think it was a disservice to
• 35:44
  him. I don't like I he he's over the
• 35:48
  course of his very short career, like he's putting up good
• 35:51
  numbers, but not to the superstar.
• 35:53
  No, not to the extent that people I think are are trying to
• 35:56
  make it out to be. Yeah.
• 35:58
  Which is not his fault, but it no, it's sort of unfair in a
• 36:03
  way. Cal Raleigh and Jorge Polanco
• 36:07
  are clearly the ones carrying the load here.
• 36:12
  Cal Raleigh's carrying a load for sure.
• 36:19
  I mean, not not that. Not that we got to rehash this
• 36:24
  because this has already been one of the more prominent
• 36:27
  storylines thus far, but the NL West, dude.
• 36:34
  This I don't. I can't explain the Giants.
• 36:36
  I don't know what. Juggernaut Yeah, I know you
• 36:39
  can't, can you? You don't like, you don't like
• 36:41
  giving the credits their due, but they don't need they don't
• 36:46
  need your credit essentially, that's what they're that's what
• 36:49
  they're. I ain't stressed.
• 36:50
  That's what they're saying. You you prematurely, prematurely
• 36:55
  calling for a fall off in San Francisco.
• 36:58
  Of course, of course, there's a fall off coming.
• 37:01
  Go ahead, put that on record. I'll put it on record.
• 37:04
  Go ahead, put that on record. I'll say the 27th.
• 37:07
  April 27th soon, soon to be the 28th I'll.
• 37:11
  Put that on record, Fall off's coming.
• 37:17
  How long you think this? How long you think this train
• 37:19
  stays on the tracks before the fall off?
• 37:21
  Let me just see. I got to see how this is
• 37:24
  happening. Let me look at some stats here.
• 37:26
  Tell you what, Wilmer Flores making a name for face of
• 37:30
  baseball? Yeah, early, at least was early
• 37:33
  on. Legit I'm that's that's my
• 37:36
  bright spot and friend of the pod yeah of.
• 37:39
  Course stop. I'm trying to.
• 37:40
  I'm trying to pick him up in fantasy.
• 37:42
  Don't just say, he's saying. He's.
• 37:45
  Say he's fighting to remain adequate.
• 37:48
  Say he's fighting to be relevant.
• 37:51
  Just does not swing and miss very often.
• 37:53
  He's fighting for his career is what I'm crazy.
• 37:58
  That doesn't matter in fantasy, but.
• 38:01
  I'm seeing in the Chad Giants will fall off, Padres will fall
• 38:04
  off. I not so fast on the Padres.
• 38:06
  They made they made a good point.
• 38:09
  I, I don't remember where I where I heard it, where I saw
• 38:11
  it, but talking about the injury, injury bug, like if you
• 38:14
  can, if you can skate through like you, you, you're not at
• 38:18
  full strength and you're holding your own in the toughest
• 38:22
  division of baseball. Yeah, Logan Webb looking real
• 38:29
  good. Looks like he's back to what we
• 38:33
  saw a few years ago. I mean, what do you mean back to
• 38:39
  what we saw, Logan, I thought Logan Webb has been.
• 38:42
  I don't think he was great last year.
• 38:46
  I could be wrong, I don't know. A.
• 38:48
  Good A good Logan Webb is still. I don't pay attention to.
• 38:54
  He led the NL and he. Was tall.
• 38:56
  He was solid last year. Yeah, 202 hundred innings.
• 38:59
  An All Star 347 URA, what's your point before that three to
• 39:03
  529-0303. So like, yeah, still it was not
• 39:09
  vintage Logan Webb, but still very, very good.
• 39:13
  But yeah, he's, I mean, he's let.
• 39:16
  Me see how many games have they played at home?
• 39:18
  They've played thirteen games at home.
• 39:21
  They're doing well on the road. They're ten and six on the road.
• 39:25
  Yeah. Some of these things you just
• 39:26
  like, you wonder, I don't know, you wonder what that ballpark,
• 39:32
  the way it plays now versus the way it plays in June and July.
• 39:36
  And it's just, you know, other teams are eventually going to
• 39:41
  start hitting there. I think so.
• 39:45
  Even in the NL Cincinnati Reds. Yeah, look at that.
• 39:51
  Nate Second highest run differential in baseball.
• 39:57
  That's legit. Behind the 42 + 42 of the
• 40:01
  Yankees Tigers. Those two, that's it.
• 40:07
  Yeah. Tied with the Cubs, at least in
• 40:11
  that category. Six and six at home.
• 40:15
  You'd like to see that get a little better.
• 40:16
  But this is what Tito does, man. This is what Tito does.
• 40:20
  We knew this was coming. We knew that there was a new a
• 40:23
  new day. I think Hunter Green is still
• 40:28
  looked great, hasn't he? He sure has.
• 40:34
  Must be nice. He's coming for that Cy Young.
• 40:37
  Yeah, must be nice having him in fantasy.
• 40:40
  It's been. It's been fun to watch, huh?
• 40:44
  It's been everything I I hoped for and more.
• 40:47
  Yeah, I'll say that. Yeah.
• 40:50
  Insane. Let me see what else is going on
• 40:57
  in here. I don't know W you're right, man
• 41:01
  them I we might have to look at that as the best division in
• 41:06
  baseball, like moving forward for at least a few years.
• 41:15
  Well, I mean, what what would rival it?
• 41:17
  The American League East, sort of the the previous placeholder
• 41:25
  unless something changes with unless something changes with
• 41:32
  the Orioles. Yeah, if if the Blue Jays don't
• 41:36
  look. Blue Jays don't have any.
• 41:40
  I I wouldn't, I, I would say not exactly the brightest future.
• 41:44
  I mean Vladdy, I think it was everything they could do and
• 41:48
  then some to get Vladdy to stay put.
• 41:50
  Beau Bichette looks depressed, by the way.
• 41:52
  Watching him all weekend I was like, bro, you look like you, a
• 41:55
  shell of yourself. And we just got done talking
• 41:58
  about the Orioles. So that leaves, I mean, not to
• 42:01
  play Homer here, but like if, if the Red Sox are back to their
• 42:05
  ways, if the Yankees continue to find ways, I mean, whether or
• 42:10
  not a guy like Juan Soto's in the lineup or not, if they
• 42:12
  continue to find find ways to win games, then it's sort of a
• 42:17
  top heavy division. But you're looking at four teams
• 42:22
  out of the five in the national inquest being a a legitimate
• 42:26
  threat to take that division. Yeah, yeah, Then at least also
• 42:33
  solid, I would say then at least has now surpassed the AL East as
• 42:38
  far as competitiveness. So I mean, look at Miami 12 and
• 42:43
  15. Like, who'd have thunk that?
• 42:46
  You could have, you could have told me that they were the one
• 42:48
  that was 4 and 23. And I would have been like,
• 42:50
  yeah, I see that. But 12 and 15 like that's
• 42:53
  respectable. For the Marlins, yeah.
• 42:56
  Yeah, I think the Nats are, we've said this before like
• 43:00
  they're they're on the come up. I don't think they're in the in
• 43:04
  wild card territory at all, but like they're making moves and
• 43:08
  and they have some studs and yeah, man, I mean, the NL, it's
• 43:13
  just, it's, it's just so much better than the AL And things
• 43:16
  are just like even this early, it's just easy to see that
• 43:21
  you're really evident in a lot of different places.
• 43:29
  I told you the twins were done by the way, I'm I'm calling
• 43:32
  that. I'm calling that now too.
• 43:34
  Call that early. That's an early call.
• 43:38
  It's an early call. Oh, I mean you yeah, you already
• 43:40
  made that proclamation, so you're really just reminding
• 43:42
  people you're not you're not updating that take you.
• 43:45
  You said that. Yeah, you said that a while ago.
• 43:48
  That's bold. After after what, sweeping this
• 43:51
  weekend. I.
• 43:52
  Don't know, Correa might get released just playing Buxton.
• 43:57
  Looks like he's kind of starting to find some low power surge
• 43:59
  though. Ran into.
• 44:01
  Yeah, but the pessimist in me, Yeah, the pessimist in me
• 44:06
  wonders for how long? Yeah, yeah, I, I think I saw a
• 44:15
  brief appearance by Class A yesterday.
• 44:20
  I didn't see how he did. Interested to see how that
• 44:25
  situation goes forward for Cleveland.
• 44:28
  That's something to watch. But I mean, we got to give the
• 44:32
  Tigers their flowers and they're they're hitting the ball.
• 44:36
  They're hitting the ball. Casey Mize looks like he's like,
• 44:38
  really starting to settle in. What's that staff look like
• 44:42
  right now? I mean those three, like if you
• 44:46
  say that that's that's going to carry it moving forward.
• 44:49
  Scubble, Mize, Flaherty, Rhys Olson Looks good.
• 44:54
  Dude, second best rotation in in baseball.
• 44:57
  I mean, if you're just looking at ERA28-O to the Mets 253.
• 45:03
  This one I trust, I trust this rotation more than what the Mets
• 45:07
  are doing because, you know, school's a guy.
• 45:11
  We saw what Flaherty has in him. Seems like that just Detroit is
• 45:15
  like the right place for him. And I maybe I'm a little biased
• 45:22
  series. I snagged him in fantasy and
• 45:24
  he's been doing well but KC Mies looks like.
• 45:27
  Finally getting to the point where it's like, OK, this is,
• 45:31
  this is kind of what we were hoping to see.
• 45:35
  Him and Torkelson have like this like same arc that they're like
• 45:38
  they're following together like 2 first round picks that like
• 45:43
  just haven't lived up to the hype and then finally they're
• 45:46
  starting to go. I like what I'm seeing, man.
• 45:51
  I really do. I'd like to see Riley Green get
• 45:55
  it going, though. I'd like to see, I'd like to see
• 45:59
  him get it, get it hot because he's, I think like the, the
• 46:03
  peace. I think he's like the if he goes
• 46:07
  and he is what he's supposed to be and the Tigers are going to
• 46:12
  be a problem. Which reminds me, checking in on
• 46:18
  our pre season predictions, did I please tell me I didn't sleep
• 46:23
  on the Tigers? I think I slept on them.
• 46:27
  Well, I had the Royals. Winning the division?
• 46:30
  Yeah, I think I slept on the Tigers.
• 46:37
  Did you had him in the postseason?
• 46:38
  No. The Tigers let me see.
• 46:43
  They'd be sick. I'd be proud of that.
• 46:47
  Nate most certainly did not have them in the postseason. 3rd I
• 46:51
  still have the guardians taking. That division, neither of us had
• 46:54
  them in the postseason. That's a, that's a, that's a
• 46:59
  tough look. Well, I mean, we're a month in,
• 47:02
  as we talked about. Yeah, yeah, it's chill.
• 47:04
  It's not even May. It's not even May.
• 47:06
  Not even May. It's got to be May.
• 47:10
  It's April. Zach Mckinstry.
• 47:14
  What's going on there? I really regret, I'm just
• 47:20
  looking at my pics, Sorry. I really regret giving the
• 47:23
  Orioles any sort of notoriety this year.
• 47:26
  I I should have known. I should have known.
• 47:29
  And for the people that are saying, well, well, guys, you
• 47:32
  just said it's not even, it's not even me yet.
• 47:34
  No, the Orioles are who we thought they were.
• 47:39
  I'm, I'm going to go ahead and go on record April 27th.
• 47:41
  I'll go on record myself. No, I'm not going to call them
• 47:43
  dead. I'm just saying that they are
• 47:45
  who we thought they were. And you can, you can interpret
• 47:48
  that however you want. What they were, who we who we
• 47:50
  thought they were. And however this season ends up
• 47:53
  for them, just know that that that's what I thought was going
• 47:56
  to happen because they are who we thought they were.
• 48:00
  Why? Do I have this sense that that
• 48:06
  the Astros are just kind of hanging around?
• 48:09
  Because that's what they do. That's just what they do, right?
• 48:12
  Story every season. Like they've been doing this.
• 48:16
  They've been doing this and like, and then your Don has been
• 48:20
  miserable and he's been miserable.
• 48:23
  Yeah, well, I think he just, I think he went yard today.
• 48:26
  That's what I'm saying. He's coming.
• 48:27
  Yeah. Oh, he's coming.
• 48:28
  He's he's he's coming. I, I swear I just had whoa, I
• 48:32
  had just had little Deja vu. I, I flashback to the clip that
• 48:37
  you put out maybe a year or two ago where the what was the year
• 48:41
  that the Astro started off just horrendous.
• 48:44
  Do you know you remember this? I think it was last year, was
• 48:46
  it? Was it?
• 48:47
  Last year and you were like, so all the people out there talking
• 48:50
  noise on the on the Astros, just sit tight.
• 48:53
  Just sit tight. And what happened?
• 48:55
  They literally turned into the hottest team in baseball for
• 48:59
  what felt like the better part of 2-3 months.
• 49:01
  Yeah, man. And I feel like that's maybe
• 49:04
  not, that's not what's fully going to happen this year.
• 49:08
  But to your point, if you if you've got your Don coming,
• 49:10
  they're certainly not going to get worse.
• 49:12
  Yeah, they're not, they're not running away with the division
• 49:15
  by any means, but and they're going to have to do it
• 49:17
  differently. We talked about this before.
• 49:19
  I just, it's just interesting that you haven't seen anything
• 49:25
  out of them that's like spectacular.
• 49:27
  They're just having around 14 and 13.
• 49:30
  You've got absolutely nothing out of your out of your All
• 49:35
  Star. You've got nothing out of the
• 49:38
  out of the staff really. Well, Hunter Brown's been great.
• 49:40
  But yeah, like, it's it's just there.
• 49:43
  There's just a matter of time before like Framber Valdez goes
• 49:47
  on like a like a 30 scoreless streak, innings, inning streak,
• 49:52
  you know what I mean? Like there's just something
• 49:53
  that's coming. And then the Astros just bang.
• 49:56
  All of a sudden you get 2-3 game lead in the division so.
• 50:01
  And then we get to the offseason where Kyle is asking, are we
• 50:06
  finally at the point where the Astros window has has come to a
• 50:10
  close? I think this is the year and
• 50:13
  then Kyle and then Kyle is is looking like a fool at the end
• 50:18
  of yet of another season. But yeah, looking at the looking
• 50:25
  at the numbers here, Reyes, this is surprising the right word.
• 50:34
  Ya, Ray, they're 8th and all the baseball 346.
• 50:37
  The Giants 7th, Royals, Rangers, Astros, Padres, Padres.
• 50:41
  We already talked about their staff is gross right now and
• 50:47
  they're like we said, as a team, they're just not even at full
• 50:50
  health. So curious to see what that
• 50:54
  turns into when they finally get to that point.
• 50:58
  Reds Knight Reds top top ten staff in baseball.
• 51:02
  Love to see that. Feel like the Phillies are
• 51:08
  coming soon. They're due.
• 51:11
  They're due. That offense has looked kind of
• 51:14
  bleak. Put up 10 yesterday and I went
• 51:19
  in tonight's game. They have a run differential of
• 51:21
  0. So I mean, they're, they're
• 51:23
  about as mid as it gets right now, yeah.
• 51:26
  Five and five in the last 10, yeah, 6:00 and 9:00 on the road.
• 51:32
  I mean, that's just yeah, I'm, I'm everyone's talking about how
• 51:36
  like great of a start the Mets have had.
• 51:38
  And I agree, I'm not disagreeing there, But like that division is
• 51:42
  just it's not going to be a landslide at all.
• 51:46
  It's no matter what. This is a division to watch the
• 51:50
  entire season and I could see them just rotating on those
• 51:55
  types of months. You know, Mets are potentially
• 51:59
  going to finish this month with the 2020 wins.
• 52:01
  Like I could see the fillings, Phillies having a 20 win month,
• 52:04
  see the Braves having a 20 win month.
• 52:05
  It's just going to be cool to watch the whole time.
• 52:10
  I'm not dead on the Braves yet. I can't be.
• 52:14
  I have to ride this train because I had them winning the
• 52:16
  division. I think I did too.
• 52:18
  In the face of the critics calling for said landslide on
• 52:24
  behalf of the Mets, I just can't.
• 52:26
  I can't pull myself to to get to that point.
• 52:31
  No, you actually had the Phillies one in the East.
• 52:33
  Did I? Yeah, that's right.
• 52:36
  That was the last minute change up.
• 52:38
  Yeah, I had the Phillies in the east, Cubs in the central D,
• 52:40
  backs in the West. I ain't dead on that idea.
• 52:43
  Which was which was a take that I was not willing.
• 52:46
  I also was not willing to to come around on.
• 52:49
  But you know, credit to you. Great to see you name or Nate, a
• 52:53
  name that I want to throw out there.
• 52:57
  Just kind of kind of putting some feelers out there.
• 53:03
  Michael Bush, 11th Best OPS in Baseball, 9:30.
• 53:09
  Legit legit comes to legit man. I feel like we mentioned his
• 53:18
  name more than once coming into this year saying keep an eye out
• 53:22
  on, keep an eye on Michael Bush. Yeah, yeah, I like what's going
• 53:28
  on over there. Not a whole lot going wrong.
• 53:31
  Jonathan Aranda, 968 for the Rays.
• 53:38
  This is what they do, bro. It's it's so annoying.
• 53:41
  Like they're they have these names that are just like
• 53:44
  prospects that it seems like no one really talks about.
• 53:48
  And then all of a sudden, bang, they're on the scene.
• 53:50
  They look amazing. And then they sprinkle in some
• 53:53
  vets that just maybe haven't had like the greatest track record
• 53:58
  elsewhere. Wasn't he a twin for a long
• 54:00
  time, Aranda? No, he's only He's been in the
• 54:04
  Rays organization for just a few years.
• 54:08
  Is there another Aranda that played for the Twins?
• 54:13
  That's going to be some phenomenal recall if so.
• 54:21
  The Aranda twins, Who's the other twin?
• 54:23
  Or wait, he's a Twin. Hold on.
• 54:29
  Not a Minnesota Twin, but like a Twin with another Aranda.
• 54:32
  I I'm I'm trying, I'm getting to the bottom of it.
• 54:36
  I like this. I don't think, no, I don't think
• 54:39
  there's no not a Twin, not a not a, not a brother twin and was
• 54:48
  never a Minnesota Twin. He has AO91 batting average
• 54:55
  against the Twins. That's all I have for you on
• 55:00
  Aranda and the Twins. Take me to Baseball Reference
• 55:03
  right now. He wasn't a twin dude.
• 55:07
  He was. He's an only child now.
• 55:15
  I'm kidding, I get what you're saying, but.
• 55:18
  Swear there's another Rhonda that I've anyway, but this is
• 55:22
  what the Rays do, man. They just have young guys that
• 55:24
  just you never hear of them and then all of a sudden they're on
• 55:27
  the scene, they're super successful and then they just
• 55:30
  sprinkle in a couple other vets and and they're just in the
• 55:33
  hunt. It's just what the Rays do.
• 55:36
  And now you place them in a ballpark that seems to be an
• 55:39
  absolute frenzy offensively, and they're going to be in the
• 55:44
  conversation this year. Big surprise.
• 55:52
  Wanted to look real quickly here.
• 55:58
  A name that I want like. Is this like a semi semi Canon
• 56:05
  list or what do we got here? No, I would never.
• 56:09
  I would never, I would never pull out the canons on a Sunday.
• 56:16
  This is the Lord's Day. I wouldn't, I wouldn't pull out
• 56:19
  the canons on the on the Lord's Day.
• 56:21
  It just feels that way a little. Bit it does, it does.
• 56:24
  I'm just trying to give credit where credit's due and and
• 56:26
  again, this is looking at the body of work through the through
• 56:30
  the course of a month. The canons are more of more
• 56:33
  often than not, yeah, like the last week or two.
• 56:39
  And obviously when I was doing the canons the first few times,
• 56:42
  that's all we really had to go off of because that's how long,
• 56:44
  that's how old the season was. But as, as the season goes on,
• 56:51
  it'll be like a week or two. So don't be hitting me up.
• 56:55
  Which by the way, I've had people message me like it was a
• 56:58
  it was atrocious that that such and such.
• 57:04
  I like it. I like it.
• 57:06
  They're holding you accountable. They're holding me accountable.
• 57:08
  And you know what? It was requested it, it, or
• 57:15
  rather it was. It was relayed to me that it
• 57:17
  was. It was a shame that Dylan Moore
• 57:22
  didn't get the cannon. So Dylan Moore, Dylan Moore,
• 57:29
  Credit Cannon. Well, it's like an hour and a
• 57:34
  half until Monday, so it's fine. Anyway, a name that I wanted to
• 57:42
  we already mentioned Hunter Brown, Mackenzie Gore.
• 57:49
  Yeah. In fact, the then that's a
• 57:53
  couple names in that's well outside of today.
• 57:55
  I think he had a he had a rough go of it, but Mitchell Parker
• 57:57
  too couple couple of the guys in that in that rotation looking
• 58:03
  rather good this year. Metro Parker again outside of
• 58:06
  today was off to I mean without without getting into like credit
• 58:13
  Canon territory here. To your point, let's look at
• 58:18
  this quick game Hawk here real quick, and I know you're going
• 58:21
  whoa, this is literally credit Canon verbiage, but.
• 58:28
  Yeah, man. I mean, his last start out
• 58:30
  before today, 8 innings against the the star-studded Baltimore
• 58:36
  Orioles, 8 shut, and he's looks good pretty much every other
• 58:44
  start of the way. I got a legitimate question.
• 58:47
  No knock. No knock here.
• 58:49
  Do we have a mustache problem? Like, is it an epidemic?
• 58:54
  Yeah. It's not Could be.
• 58:58
  Culture wide here. I I kind of want to blame Morgan
• 59:01
  Wall in a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
• 59:06
  I mean, the look, the reality is, and not that we got to go
• 59:11
  like this isn't like a boom or take, but like men used to go to
• 59:15
  war and now they're making TikTok dances.
• 59:19
  So there's got to be a correlation to like testosterone
• 59:23
  here now, right? I mean, at the end of the day, I
• 59:27
  mean, that's why, that's why these mustaches look a little
• 59:30
  weak. Yeah, yeah.
• 59:33
  I just, I don't, I don't think everyone, I don't think, I don't
• 59:40
  think it should be as as, as utilized as it is.
• 59:45
  But if you keep pitching this way.
• 59:46
  Just what's that? What's that quote from Jurassic
• 59:49
  Park? They they spent so much time
• 59:51
  figuring out whether they could that they didn't stop to think
• 59:56
  they. Should what a bar?
• 59:59
  That's kind of where we're at here with the the mustache
• 1:00:02
  epidemic across baseball. What a bar.
• 1:00:06
  Do you think Devin Williams makes a change to a mustache
• 1:00:11
  make? Maybe takes a go with that?
• 1:00:14
  Maybe that fixes things. Brothers, you got to change
• 1:00:16
  something. We got to shake something up.
• 1:00:21
  Got to change something. Any other?
• 1:00:22
  Any other thoughts on on the state of the league a month end
• 1:00:28
  of the season? No, I mean that's that was a
• 1:00:34
  good, that was a good round table discussion there.
• 1:00:36
  My Orioles prediction of of leading the league in homers
• 1:00:41
  really took a turn. Oh, they're tied.
• 1:00:45
  Tied for ninth with 33. The Dodgers are good.
• 1:00:48
  Half of those on opening day. The Dodgers and Yankees are tied
• 1:00:52
  for first with 45 apiece, so that's that's not looking great
• 1:00:59
  for for me, but at least I'm not an Orioles fan.
• 1:01:05
  Anyway, any other thoughts? That's it.
• 1:01:11
  Closing the book, Tyler Glass, now for the second straight
• 1:01:15
  outing, was removed early due to an injury.
• 1:01:21
  Right shoulder discomfort is what I'm is what I'm I'm.
• 1:01:24
  Hearing I couldn't tell I was watching Sunday Night Countdown
• 1:01:27
  for Sunday Night Baseball and which, by the way, I don't love.
• 1:01:33
  Sunday Night Countdown is for Sunday Night Football.
• 1:01:37
  Change ESPN is so freaking lazy. Change it for baseball, please.
• 1:01:43
  Anyway, I was watching that and they're like running through the
• 1:01:46
  league and they're showing highlights and he's like, it's
• 1:01:48
  in between innings. And then he like you can see
• 1:01:51
  that he like bends. I saw it as him like bending
• 1:01:53
  over to get out of the way from like the catcher's throw down in
• 1:01:57
  between innings. And then all of a sudden he's
• 1:02:00
  walking off the field. And I was like, I thought he was
• 1:02:02
  just bending over out of the way.
• 1:02:04
  So now it's a shoulder thing. So it's back shoulder of it's,
• 1:02:14
  they don't need to be full of strength.
• 1:02:18
  This is why I hammered the under on 105 wins this year because I
• 1:02:23
  think it's just load management across their entire roster.
• 1:02:27
  Yeah. I think they're going to win a
• 1:02:28
  lot of ball games. They're still going to win 90
• 1:02:30
  games. I just, I don't think one O 5 is
• 1:02:32
  in the mix because you have a lot of these names.
• 1:02:35
  They're just you don't need them the whole time.
• 1:02:38
  They don't need a full season. Yeah, And, and I get it.
• 1:02:41
  Look, we talked about how deep the Dodgers were and I'm not I'm
• 1:02:44
  not like walking that back. I'm not changing my stance on
• 1:02:47
  how good I think the Dodgers are going to be this year.
• 1:02:49
  But this is like we've already said, this is now this, this
• 1:02:54
  makes it like a multiple times this season where we've already
• 1:02:59
  said like they'll be fine. Like, yeah, that's true, but
• 1:03:05
  let's try to, let's try to like dial that, the need to say that
• 1:03:11
  back a little bit if you're the Dodgers, like, yeah, we'll be
• 1:03:13
  fine. We'll be fine.
• 1:03:14
  We're deep, We're deep. Another guy goes down, another
• 1:03:17
  guy goes down. Like, like you're deep, but.
• 1:03:24
  Just be cautious. I don't know it's.
• 1:03:25
  Cautious. It's tough, man.
• 1:03:28
  I'm glad I'm not a Tyler Glass now fantasy owner.
• 1:03:32
  I wouldn't want to manage that. Shots fired.
• 1:03:36
  Shots fired. Other In other news, Jaron Duran
• 1:03:40
  was held back in a confrontation today.
• 1:03:43
  I don't know if you saw that, but apparently there's a fan in
• 1:03:45
  in Cleveland that was allegedly heckling him regarding his
• 1:03:51
  mental health issues. Oh boy, just a.
• 1:03:54
  Loser move, but I do want to give in.
• 1:03:57
  Cleveland, which is a little shocking.
• 1:04:02
  That's Cleveland. I just.
• 1:04:03
  Thought Kyle was just filled with like.
• 1:04:06
  Careful, careful. I thought everyone was polite
• 1:04:09
  there. I don't.
• 1:04:09
  Oh, I see what you're saying. I got you.
• 1:04:10
  I thought you were just saying, yeah, OK, I got you.
• 1:04:14
  No, But to to your point, I, I I do want to give credit to the
• 1:04:18
  Guardian fans because apparently this was the only guy nobody
• 1:04:22
  else was joining in. And in fact, from what?
• 1:04:26
  Because I was, I was watch, well, I was watching the game
• 1:04:29
  driving back today, but I I had the game on, sure, and I wasn't.
• 1:04:33
  You think, you think Meredith's going to sit there and let me
• 1:04:35
  watch a game as I'm driving down 95?
• 1:04:42
  No, not. Out my wife does.
• 1:04:46
  Well, you also don't stop at at at stop signs in your
• 1:04:50
  neighborhood, so. It's a neighborhood.
• 1:04:51
  Thing. I'm not surprised.
• 1:04:53
  Anyway. Authorities, if you're out there
• 1:04:57
  listening, I can, if you read, if you contact me, I can give
• 1:05:01
  you this man's address and we can handle this, handle this
• 1:05:03
  like gentleman. You can have him removed from
• 1:05:07
  the neighborhood. No, but they, they turned on
• 1:05:11
  this guy. They started booing this guy
• 1:05:14
  that was heckling Jaron Duran. See.
• 1:05:16
  That sounds. Like they all, they all join
• 1:05:18
  classic Cleveland. They all joined forces and and
• 1:05:21
  got this guy today, they're booing him on the way out.
• 1:05:23
  He got removed from the from the park.
• 1:05:26
  Don't know if a ban of any sorts is is incoming for that
• 1:05:31
  particular individual, but just a loser move.
• 1:05:34
  Like especially in light of the documentary that came out and
• 1:05:38
  everything. And not to say that everybody
• 1:05:40
  has to be aware of what was like shared in the documentary,
• 1:05:42
  because unless you're a Red Sox fan or like just a die hard
• 1:05:45
  baseball fan, you may not. It's also a loser move to like
• 1:05:49
  be aware of it because clearly you're.
• 1:05:50
  True. Yeah, if you're heckling him,
• 1:05:52
  you're Yeah, you're aware of the issue.
• 1:05:54
  So, like, just just be better. Just be better, man.
• 1:05:57
  Come on. And lastly, do you wanted to
• 1:06:01
  bring up a a, a story about Jaycee Escara?
• 1:06:06
  Yeah, dude. Sick, sick story.
• 1:06:09
  Yankees backup catcher hit his first career home run today and
• 1:06:17
  he's 30. Bro was drafted I think twice.
• 1:06:23
  He was drafted in like 2015, 2017, but he was like the Super
• 1:06:31
  late was like 15th round with the Orioles.
• 1:06:34
  Didn't pan out. Spent some years in minor league
• 1:06:38
  system. Started playing Indy ball while
• 1:06:40
  he was playing Indy ball. He's a substitute teacher and an
• 1:06:43
  Uber driver and then last year gets a minor league deal with
• 1:06:48
  the Yankees, looks really good in camp, breaks camp with the
• 1:06:52
  big league team this year as the backup catcher.
• 1:06:55
  And today hit his first big league home run and it was a
• 1:06:59
  shot. It was a shot.
• 1:07:01
  So it's cool. It's a good story, man.
• 1:07:03
  Like it, it's 30 years old. This guy's not he's a backup
• 1:07:07
  catcher. It's this is probably the
• 1:07:09
  highlight of of his baseball career.
• 1:07:11
  And it's just I think it's very neat and I don't know if any
• 1:07:16
  guys listening that maybe their wives like don't know a ton
• 1:07:21
  about baseball, kind of like mine.
• 1:07:23
  She always. Likes to like fired, shots
• 1:07:26
  fired. Always.
• 1:07:27
  But she likes to latch on. She likes to latch on he.
• 1:07:32
  Doubled down, he said. Yeah, I'll let her know.
• 1:07:35
  She likes to latch on on stories and and like, she loves
• 1:07:38
  underdogs. So like she was like, who who's
• 1:07:40
  like the Yankee I need to be rooting for this year?
• 1:07:43
  And I was like, it's no better story than Jaycee Escara, so.
• 1:07:48
  Yeah, how many, how many ABS is this guy expected to get?
• 1:07:51
  Not much I mean I think he's he's gotten into like 9 or 10
• 1:07:54
  games already this year, but that's like a late blow out AB
• 1:07:59
  kind of thing. Today was a double header.
• 1:08:02
  So he's caught the second game. So like it's just rare stuff
• 1:08:05
  like that. But it's just cool to see, man,
• 1:08:08
  cool to see that's it's pretty insane.
• 1:08:11
  And I I just love those stories, guys that understand what it's
• 1:08:18
  it's this close to being real world life.
• 1:08:22
  You see that Brandon Marsh interview with him in in.
• 1:08:25
  I saw, I saw his name. What happened?
• 1:08:27
  He's in the minor league uniform and he's just like, you know,
• 1:08:29
  like, hey, man, it's been tough. But like, I'm blessed.
• 1:08:32
  I'm blessed to still be here. Dude, never, never would have
• 1:08:35
  thought I was playing ball until 27.
• 1:08:36
  Like, you know, it's, it's an incredibly humble response and
• 1:08:43
  it's very easy when we get so caught up with, with big
• 1:08:46
  leaguers or professional athletes in general that feel so
• 1:08:50
  entitled. So it's just, it's cool to see
• 1:08:53
  stories like this and to hear sound bites like Brandon Marsh
• 1:08:56
  and I, it's, I think stuff we should shed light on.
• 1:09:01
  I love it. Yeah.
• 1:09:05
  Anything else for to get this week underway?
• 1:09:09
  I'm going to go eat some dinner. So that's it.
• 1:09:10
  That's all I got. Kind of same honestly.
• 1:09:13
  It's like almost midnight here. Tough, tough.
• 1:09:18
  I got I got one for you. Last thing, what you got I heard
• 1:09:22
  this not it's super non baseball related.
• 1:09:25
  Could be could be slightly baseball related depending on
• 1:09:28
  your answer. But I heard this question and I
• 1:09:31
  was like, this is a great KC question here.
• 1:09:36
  Do you remember a few episodes ago we were talking about?
• 1:09:38
  Sorry, before I forget, remind me to update you on the MLBTV
• 1:09:42
  commercial thing before we. OK, OK, OK, what do you got?
• 1:09:45
  What do you got? Do you remember we were talking
• 1:09:47
  a couple episodes ago about like our our punch most punchable
• 1:09:49
  faces, yes, in baseball, right. If we want to like take a tick
• 1:09:54
  back from the violence and just say.
• 1:09:56
  Especially on the Lord's day, just.
• 1:09:59
  Say if there was like a minor inconvenience that you could
• 1:10:03
  give an enemy, what would that minor inconvenience be?
• 1:10:09
  And I have an answer, but let me know if you have one or if you
• 1:10:12
  want to hear mine. And I was thinking about it
• 1:10:15
  yesterday. Well, you've, you've let this
• 1:10:18
  marinate, so let me hear yours because I'm, I'm are you saying
• 1:10:21
  just like like this could apply to anybody that you're kind of
• 1:10:24
  like not a fan of in the league? Yeah, like, OK, maybe we take a
• 1:10:28
  step back from, you know, them being super punchable and just
• 1:10:31
  be like, I want to give you the most minor inconvenience, You
• 1:10:36
  know what I mean? I've got kind of a relevant one
• 1:10:38
  from this weekend, but please hit me.
• 1:10:40
  Well, OK, yeah, I'll start it. So you'll probably come up with
• 1:10:43
  a better one. I tell you what, I I think
• 1:10:47
  you're right. I think we, I think we step back
• 1:10:49
  from the most punchable face and and take this minor
• 1:10:51
  inconvenience route. I hope.
• 1:10:56
  Who do you have a name too? Well, remind me.
• 1:10:58
  I was. I was just going to ask you.
• 1:10:59
  Remind me who was on my list. Well.
• 1:11:02
  I mean the, you know, the typical names.
• 1:11:03
  You had a rod on your list. A rod, but there was like some
• 1:11:06
  current day guys though. I mean, I said, I said, I said
• 1:11:11
  Robbie Ray. Sure.
• 1:11:14
  Sure. There was somebody else.
• 1:11:18
  It was the one that just clicked, that just clicked.
• 1:11:21
  Who was it? Oh my goodness.
• 1:11:23
  We're. Going to think around the league
• 1:11:26
  a little bit. Who is the guy?
• 1:11:28
  Is he a met? Sorry.
• 1:11:32
  I didn't say Tommy another. Shots fired.
• 1:11:36
  I didn't say. Shots.
• 1:11:38
  Fired. I didn't say Tommy Pham.
• 1:11:40
  Who did I say was it? It wasn't Pete Alonso.
• 1:11:45
  No. Anyway, whoever it was the the
• 1:11:51
  guys that I I like least around the league, I hope that anytime
• 1:11:54
  you go to the beach as I did this weekend that it's upwards
• 1:12:01
  of 2025 mile an hour winds because there is nothing worse
• 1:12:06
  than going to the I I let me let me preface this by saying I
• 1:12:10
  thoroughly enjoyed our weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed this weekend.
• 1:12:13
  It was great. And you're not expecting like
• 1:12:15
  you're not expecting 90 in in sunshine when you go in in
• 1:12:19
  April. But we go because we got the dog
• 1:12:20
  and the weather's still great. The wind, though, I don't know
• 1:12:24
  if you've been on a beach when it's like it's the when the
• 1:12:26
  wind's kicking up, yeah, it feels like you're getting
• 1:12:29
  stabbed and shot and pelted all at once.
• 1:12:33
  Yeah, 'cause you're not wearing layers when you.
• 1:12:35
  Go to the correct. Feels like you're a lot of
• 1:12:38
  exposed. Skin that's just getting not fun
• 1:12:40
  hammered. That's that's my.
• 1:12:42
  That's my timely, relevant minor inconvenience.
• 1:12:46
  So every time they go, it's windy.
• 1:12:49
  This is the one I thought of yesterday.
• 1:12:56
  Every whatever enemy, I don't care.
• 1:12:59
  We could say I'm going to give it to Jose Siri, to be honest
• 1:13:05
  with you. And not because, not because
• 1:13:08
  he's a MET, just I've always disliked him.
• 1:13:11
  Jose, Siri, you know when you're opening a Chick-fil-A sauce
• 1:13:17
  packet and only half of the tab rips open versus the whole lid
• 1:13:22
  ripping open? Yes, every every sauce packet
• 1:13:26
  that I would say Siri opens up. I hate.
• 1:13:30
  It half ripped. So much I just about every,
• 1:13:34
  every sauce container I've opened, I throw away with half
• 1:13:38
  of the sauce still in it because I'm like, it's not worth, it's
• 1:13:40
  not worth the effort. Get my thumb up in that sauce to
• 1:13:44
  take the rest off. No, I'm not.
• 1:13:46
  I'm absolutely not doing that. Yeah, well, we, I was crushing
• 1:13:49
  some chicken minis yesterday morning, So and every
• 1:13:53
  Chick-fil-A sauce that I was opening up, it was halfway.
• 1:13:55
  And I was like, this is the most inconvenient thing, Bang light
• 1:13:59
  bulb. So maybe that should be a
• 1:14:02
  running segment. Minor inconveniences.
• 1:14:08
  I would really like to remember who that guy was that clicked
• 1:14:15
  most punchable face. I cannot think of it for the
• 1:14:18
  life of me. I thought Robbie Ray was
• 1:14:20
  definitely a oh, it was Stroman, it was Marcus Stroman.
• 1:14:27
  It was Marcus Stroman. Yeah, yeah, Marcus Stroman.
• 1:14:30
  I hope when you hit the beach early this year because you're
• 1:14:35
  not playing post season baseball, I hope.
• 1:14:39
  I hope. He's not playing because he's
• 1:14:41
  not going to be a Yankee Perfect.
• 1:14:42
  I get what you're saying. Either or, I hope.
• 1:14:47
  I hope you're looking at upwards of 45 mile an hour winds.
• 1:14:52
  I don't know how minor that is, but I'll take it.
• 1:14:54
  It's a good answer all right. Oh last thing, update on the.
• 1:14:59
  MLBTV Curve You got a new one. All right, no.
• 1:15:02
  So I think I'm, I'm, I'm starting like a little bit of a
• 1:15:06
  conspiracy here. I think Major League Baseball
• 1:15:10
  television as its former, as it's formally and properly
• 1:15:16
  known, has bugged my home. Because literally since the day
• 1:15:25
  I told you that the only commercial that I saw focused on
• 1:15:32
  a team on MLBTV, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California,
• 1:15:42
  I have seen. Every other team.
• 1:15:46
  Every other, I kid you not, I don't see, I have not seen other
• 1:15:50
  commercials for like products, for businesses, for brands.
• 1:15:54
  I only see commercials for players and teams.
• 1:15:58
  Now they're like, you know what, We're not even going to try to
• 1:16:00
  sell you anything. We're just going to let you know
• 1:16:03
  that we're not as high on the angels as you thought.
• 1:16:08
  And if you think that's me walking back my take, it's it's
• 1:16:11
  absolutely not. I think that there's something
• 1:16:13
  going on though. I think they.
• 1:16:14
  We're all in our own little matrix of they MLBTV
• 1:16:19
  commercials. They turned the dial or
• 1:16:21
  something and they said, you know what we're going to, we're
• 1:16:24
  going to let him know what's what.
• 1:16:25
  Did you ever did you ever see lost the show?
• 1:16:30
  And I regret ever seen that show like the numbers, like yeah, it
• 1:16:35
  just, there's just a guy in the controller.
• 1:16:38
  Room. That's it.
• 1:16:40
  Controlling the commercials just focused on the numbers the whole
• 1:16:45
  time. That's it, they said.
• 1:16:47
  They said, oh, this guy, this guy's on to us.
• 1:16:50
  Pump pump him with some giant stuff.
• 1:16:53
  He's in the bunker just oh, that's so.
• 1:16:57
  Good, which last thing I'll say on that like I as much as I
• 1:17:01
  hated them only showing me one team, it's equally as bad, if
• 1:17:06
  not worse that they show me every team now, because it's
• 1:17:09
  like you can't genuinely believe that every all 30 teams are this
• 1:17:14
  sneaky dark horse team like some of these teams.
• 1:17:17
  Like I'm waiting for the Rockies promo.
• 1:17:21
  I'm I'm waiting for the Rockies promo because how you going to
• 1:17:24
  how you going to incorporate that MLBTV?
• 1:17:26
  Very true. Well, test your artistic talents
• 1:17:30
  and abilities with that one anyway.
• 1:17:32
  OK, that's all I had. I'm out.
• 1:17:36
  Go go buy some Chinook seeds. Other than that, don't go
• 1:17:41
  chasing curveballs. We love you all and as always,
• 1:17:43
  looking forward to talking more baseball with you guys soon.
• 1:17:45
  Until next time, stay filthy.
