• 1:36
  Speaker 10: Gotta go home, Williard. So really looking forward to that.
• 1:41
  Speaker 10: Not yep, but it has to be done right.
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I wonder how many people are listening to us right
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: now while they're mowing the yard. I feel like it
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: might be a few, you know.
• 1:51
  Speaker 10: One of the things I do with I'm Molliard. I've
• 1:53
  Speaker 10: got like an acre and I trying to get my
• 1:56
  Speaker 10: steps in. So I got this big commercial walk behind
• 1:58
  Speaker 10: you know. Yeah ship helped me out and uh with
• 2:01
  Speaker 10: one of its sponsors and so. But yeah, I listened
• 2:05
  Speaker 10: to a ballgame, listen to a book, or listen to
• 2:08
  Speaker 10: some kind of radio. Just it kind of like numbs,
• 2:13
  Speaker 10: you kind of like, you know, you kind of forget
• 2:15
  Speaker 10: about how steps taking right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: How hot it is.
• 2:18
  Speaker 10: And then with my mother backyard, I have to deal
• 2:21
  Speaker 10: with my dog because I've got a silver lab and
• 2:23
  Speaker 10: she's very very smart. So she drops the ball in
• 2:26
  Speaker 10: front of the lawnmore so that I have to stop
• 2:28
  Speaker 10: the lawnmower. Of course, pick it up, throw it and
• 2:31
  Speaker 10: then she runs fetches it. Then she runs up to
• 2:34
  Speaker 10: the pool, drops it into the pool, jumps in the
• 2:37
  Speaker 10: pool like it's I mean, I don't hunt, but if
• 2:39
  Speaker 10: if I did, she'd be a heck of a hunting
• 2:41
  Speaker 10: dog because she would be going to get the ducks
• 2:43
  Speaker 10: and whatever in the water.
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: She thinks we built that swimming pool for her. I mean,
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: she lives.
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: I clean that filter out ever so often it's just
• 2:50
  Speaker 10: full of silver hair, Like nothing but the silver hair.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Right, it's always the dogs that aren't supposed to be
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: hunting dogs that act like them.
• 2:58
  Speaker 10: Oh she she she's a lab, so I mean it's
• 3:02
  Speaker 10: in her. But yeah, she since I don't hunt, maybe
• 3:07
  Speaker 10: she should go out with chips sometimes.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm similar to you with the mow in the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: lawn whenever, whenever it needs to be done, which I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: mean we're I live in an apartment complex right now,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: so I don't really have that. But when I lived
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: at home back you know, in the country, that was
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: kind of my job. That's how I contributed to the household,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: was mowing the yard.
• 3:26
  Speaker 10: It's mindless, but it's also instant gratification, you know. Like
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: my wife makes fun of me all the time because
• 3:33
  Speaker 10: she's like, you actually enjoy mowing the yard. Like I
• 3:36
  Speaker 10: don't know if I enjoy moaning the yard, but I
• 3:39
  Speaker 10: enjoy having mowed the yard.
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: You know what.
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: It's like the same thing with working out.
• 3:43
  Speaker 10: I don't know if I really enjoy working out, but
• 3:45
  Speaker 10: I love to have worked out, sure, And so that
• 3:48
  Speaker 10: that makes any sense, Yeah, because I like, like try
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: to stripe the front yard.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I never I never tried to do that. I don't
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: think we ever had a nice enough mowhere to try
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 3:58
  Speaker 10: Well, it's a pretty decent mower, but I've got to
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: go replace the brutt Blaze today before I start. So anyway,
• 4:06
  Speaker 10: lots of fun things going on in the rest of
• 4:09
  Speaker 10: the week.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I didn't think that we would start this by talking
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: about mowing for five minutes. But you know, whatever, whatever
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we there is to talk about during the summer is
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: what we're gonna talk about.
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: I still have summertime.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I still have memories, and I'm gonna keep talking
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: about mowing the yard because I still I remember the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four in Baseball run. Most of those games
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I listened to while mowing the yard, So I just
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: associated with that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: Now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, Well, I was on Lewis Show last Thursday, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: somehow we got onto mowing the yard too. He made
• 4:36
  Speaker 10: that a promo Yeah, I ended up mowing Billy Luci's yard.
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: Somehow my son has got a job, and then I
• 4:43
  Speaker 10: ended up mowing the yard for him and I you
• 4:47
  Speaker 10: know what in apartment complex.
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: So in high school, our coaches would get some of
• 4:52
  Speaker 9: the football players jobs.
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: And so yeah, like this landscaping company came to him
• 4:57
  Speaker 10: four seasons, so he picked out like four or five players,
• 5:00
  Speaker 10: and like outdoor work, you know, you're gonna get used,
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: You're gonna get used to the heat for two days.
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: And so we mowed department complexes. And I just had this.
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: Horrific dream of starting in Dallas and mowe and I
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: forty five, like all the way down to Houston, turn
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: around and go back, you know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 9: So that was my dream.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Each stripe is there, yeah and back.
• 5:24
  Speaker 10: Well, it was like the five we all just put
• 5:27
  Speaker 10: had these little bitty push mowers, you know that was.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: That sounds like a like a dystopian movie, almost like
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: like The Long Walk, but with lawnmowers. Yes, indeed, so
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: it's trade deadline season now. Uh, now that we've gotten
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: our our summer yard work segment segment out of the way,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you know, we talk about whatever we can find to
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: talk about here days of summer. But we're I feel
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: like we're back almost fully to having all the sports
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: to talk about. You know, we just had sec media days,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: MLB trade deadlines coming up, so you know, football's almost here.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Baseball is getting into the really interesting part of the season.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So I don't think we're gonna have to try too
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: hard to have things to talk about anymore, which is
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: always nice. I kind of wanted to hear some of
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on this trade deadline that we've got. You know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: it's one of those interesting situations where there's a lot
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: of teams in contention, so you know, on the surface,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: you think, oh, there's gonna be a lot of moves,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: but with a lot of teams competing for the playoffs,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: we might not see as many big names this year.
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: You know, the.
• 6:35
  Speaker 10: Rangers just got through with a four game series with
• 6:38
  Speaker 10: the Mariners. They took three out of four, They should
• 6:40
  Speaker 10: have taken four out of four. Their bullpen blew up yesterday,
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: and so I think the Rangers really might look seriously
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: at adding not a closer, because they don't need a closer,
• 6:57
  Speaker 10: right They've got a closer, but so they don't have
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: to go out like the twenty twenty three team went
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: out and got Chappin. Chapman's having a great year with
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: the Red Sox, but Lats has been a very very
• 7:09
  Speaker 10: good closer for the Rangers so far this year. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: saw the athletic projected that they went out and they
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: got Kyle Weaver from the Mets, who's a very very
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: solid or should be Luke Weaver from the Mets, who
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: very very solid reliever, would really be an upgrade in
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: that bullpen. On the other hand, I'm not sure Cody
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: Bradford has looked really really good in the minors. He
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: hasn't been stretched out to starter stuff, but I don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: think he needs to.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: And so I think Cody Bradford could be back.
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: As soon as, you know, a week and a half,
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: and if you put him in the bullpen, and then
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: it's gonna be interesting because they're going to Tampa Bay today,
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: So they played Tampa Bay the next three games, and
• 7:57
  Speaker 10: then they have the three games at Houston.
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: They're projecting.
• 8:02
  Speaker 10: This is not official by any means, but the radio
• 8:04
  Speaker 10: broadcasters were speculating on the broadcast today about Jordan Montgomery
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: making a start in Tampa. Montgomery has been up and down,
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: but his last start was really really good and he
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: went five innings again one run. You know, I mean,
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: he's not going to overpower you. But he was so
• 8:24
  Speaker 10: critical in that twenty twenty three World Series run for
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: the Rangers, and quite frankly, he started it off in Tampa,
• 8:32
  Speaker 10: so projecting him to make a start in Tampa and
• 8:38
  Speaker 10: that way, if they did, it would line up so
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: that with the Astros, which is going to be a
• 8:44
  Speaker 10: huge series for both teams, the Rangers would line up
• 8:49
  Speaker 10: with Evaldi, de Gram and Rocker against the Astros, which ideally,
• 8:55
  Speaker 10: I mean, right now, that's the best the Rangers can throw,
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: because I mean quite Rocker has been really good the
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: last couple appearances. He didn't start off great today, he
• 9:06
  Speaker 10: was wild inside the strike zone.
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: Gave him a couple really really hard hits.
• 9:11
  Speaker 10: Home run to Rose Arena, but then he really got
• 9:14
  Speaker 10: his slider going, and when he gets that going, he's tough.
• 9:19
  Speaker 10: And so he's had, you know, three quality starts out
• 9:22
  Speaker 10: of his last four. The one quality start or the
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: one non quality start was against the Astros when the
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Astros just lit him up. So I'm sure he would
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: love another opportunity of that, but that's gonna be a
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: big series. The Astros won five out of six. They've
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: got some very very difficult decisions to make too. I
• 9:40
  Speaker 10: saw this just everybody's got their own projections about the
• 9:44
  Speaker 10: trade deadline. I saw that the athletics big projection was
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: that the Astros take advantage of Paina and his value
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: right now and go really build the farm system.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Up, really big move, he would.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: But I just don't know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: You you're only two and a half out, You've won
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: five out of six. It's really hard to kind of
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: give up on one of your really star players right now.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: I just, I mean, it's probably wise. But on the
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: other hand, you're so close, and.
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: I really think the AL West is going to be
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: decided in the last week this season.
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: I just can't see any other way.
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: And you and I talked about last week thinking that.
• 10:28
  Speaker 9: The Mariners on paper are still the.
• 10:30
  Speaker 10: Strongest team, But after watching them for the last four games,
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: I mean, tell you what, I don't think I've seen
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: very many players regress as much as I've seen with
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: cal Raley. I mean, that guy should have been I think,
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: in my opinion, he should have been the MVP last year.
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: I mean, my switch hitting catcher playing almost every day,
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: and you know, the guy's got no confidence and his
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: swing looks so bad right now. I mean he's hitting
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: them like a buck sixty And I mean, this is
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: a guy who hit sixty home runs last year and
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: he's nowhere close and he looks like he's lost, right
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: And rarely now we all see these guys who have
• 11:08
  Speaker 10: career years that, you know, I saw it with Joanaheim
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: in twenty twenty three with the Rangers.
• 11:15
  Speaker 9: It was a career year. Yeah, but he didn't follow
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: that much, you know, it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Wasn't He also didn't jump up that much yet.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: Well that's true, that's very very true.
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: But Raleigh just looks like someone who's just lost it
• 11:27
  Speaker 10: in that Seattle offense, except for you know, they got
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: some good young players there that can zone. Uh, he's
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: a really good young player. Had four RBIs against the Rangers, Yester.
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: They hit the big three run homer that turned that
• 11:41
  Speaker 10: game around. Aside from that pitch and the bullpen blew it,
• 11:47
  Speaker 10: the Rangers probably would have swept the series.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I just wanted to go back real quick to
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Jordan Montgomery. He's had a very really interesting career.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Really the head with Aaron Yeah, well, It's just funny
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: how he went from you know, he was a Yankee,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: came up through their system, was really solid for them
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: a few years, and then gets traded in back to
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: back trade deadlines, which is always just that, right, Yeah,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Yankee to the Cardinals for Harrison Bader. So it was
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: a major leaguer for major leaguer situation in twenty twenty two.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Then twenty twenty three, the Cardinals sent him to the Rangers,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: and the Rangers, you know, obviously won the World Series
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: over Arizona that year, and he was big in that because.
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: He pitched so well. He pitched so well to.
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: Open the playoffs against Tampa. He pitched really well in Houston,
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: not in Arlington, but I think the Astros beat him
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: up in Orland. That was the series when the Astros
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: won ever game in Arlington and Rangers won ever game
• 12:50
  Speaker 10: in Houston.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yesz are so he pitched.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: He was.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: He pitched in three games in the ALCS, two starts
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: and one relief appearance, fourteen innings, only two earned runs,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: ten strikeouts.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: Okay, well that was better than I remember.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: He wasn't as he only made one World Series start,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: six innings, four runs.
• 13:07
  Speaker 10: Okay, that may have been it, because that may have
• 13:09
  Speaker 10: been Game two begainst the Diamondbacks and he wasn't very good.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it's just it's funny to me that
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: he wins the World Series over the Diamondbacks and then
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks say all right, well you're playing for us
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: now then and they go sign up.
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: Well, they made a real well, very lucrative free agent signing,
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: and the Rangers evaluated and said, no, we're not going
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: to take a.
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: Chance on that. So interesting.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: It's just really strange to me that they didn't learn
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: from Madison, Bump and Garner and did the exact same
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: thing with Jordan Montgomery. And now Manty's back on the
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Rangers and.
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: And we'll see, because I mean, if you get money,
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: money to me is not as important as Cody Bradford.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: Cody Bradford's the young guy. I mean, when he's been healthy,
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: he's been really good. He's got he's you know, he's
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: so just same because he only throws in those the
• 14:02
  Speaker 10: low nineties, but he has such great length that it
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: really appears like the fastball is more like ninety five
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: to nice seven, when really it's sitting like ninety two
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: ninety three. Montgomery has been like that same thing ninety
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: two ninety three. But he also he's also pitched in
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: the eighties, which is, you know, we we've seen guys
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: be effective. I mean, yeah, we all remit I remember Maddis,
• 14:29
  Speaker 10: but uh yeah, I'm old enough to remember some guys
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: who are really really good pitchers nowadays. Yeah, nowadays it's
• 14:36
  Speaker 10: like everybody's throwing ninety six nice seven, you know, but
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: you can still if you can locate and still pitch,
• 14:43
  Speaker 10: it's still about location, location, location.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The Rangers are in a similar situation where they
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: have on paper a lot of pitchers, but about half
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: of them are hurt so.
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: Well and on paper there Seeger has gone like three
• 14:58
  Speaker 10: days with workouts.
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: Now.
• 14:59
  Speaker 9: He took it.
• 15:00
  Speaker 10: He battered against left hand and pitching today. Yesterday he
• 15:04
  Speaker 10: did a full arrangement of fielding, hitting and running. Everything
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: felt good with the back, So he's actually there. He
• 15:16
  Speaker 10: has to agree to it, but he's already okated to
• 15:19
  Speaker 10: go do a like one game rehab, and so he
• 15:22
  Speaker 10: may go depending on what schedule. I mean, he made
• 15:26
  Speaker 10: it go to Round Rock or he made.
• 15:28
  Speaker 9: A double a whatever Frisco. But he's getting close.
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: Josh Young who had the hamster, not the hamstring that
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: he had.
• 15:39
  Speaker 9: The calf issue.
• 15:41
  Speaker 10: He's expected to come back for the Astro series and
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: then you know, I mean they had a scare today
• 15:48
  Speaker 10: with you know, Diaz getting hit in the left hand,
• 15:52
  Speaker 10: and they don't have any catchers anymore. It's like who's
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: gonna who's gonna catch? But so they're close to possibly
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: getting healthy for the first time really all year long.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: It would be pretty Yeah, that would have been very
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: unfortunate Diaz would have gone down because then you have Diez,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Kyle Higashioka, and Danny Jansen. All that's insane and you're
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: stuck with Austin Wins.
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: Austin Wins with what one thirty something bad and average or.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: For his career, Yes, exactly. He's kind of like that
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Austin Hedges type of player where the bat is not
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: why you keep them Boston.
• 16:30
  Speaker 9: Hedges has been great this.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Year, that's true, but that's not what he's known for.
• 16:35
  Speaker 9: You No, definitely not.
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: He's known as the great cheerleader, right, a defensive catcher,
• 16:40
  Speaker 10: a cheerleader.
• 16:41
  Speaker 9: I loved him in that twenty twenty three.
• 16:43
  Speaker 10: Run just because he was such a cheerleader, but not
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: much of a bat until this year.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: At He's one of my favorite players just because of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the personality.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: So yeah, let me throw this at it. The school
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: get traded.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: So I think if you're the Tigers, you know they showed,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: they've shown the last couple of years like they're a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: young team on the up and up and the starting
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to gain trace. They surprise everybody as right, right, But
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I feel like with the position you're in right now,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you should you should capitalize and get rid of him.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: So if it's me, I think I think you trade him.
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: But so, how do you feel as a Nashros fan
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: about Painya?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: So with Painya, I think it's similar to the Kyle
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Tucker situation from a couple of years ago now, where yes,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: I would love to keep him around, and if Jim
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Crane would open up his pocketbook and pay him, I
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: would be all. I'd be fully on board with that.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: But we've seen over and over again that Jim Crane
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: is willing to let players walk if he thinks they
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: want too much money. We've seen it with Alex Bregman,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Carlos Korea, George Springer, all legends of the Dynasty Astros,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: and he let him go which that's how he wants
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: to run his organization. I don't necessarily agree with it,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: but you know, he's the owner. So if that's what's
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: gonna happen with Pana, if he keeps having these because
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: he's been really solid this year, especially as the season
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: has gone on. I feel like he's gotten better even
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: though he you know, started on injured list. But he's
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: going to command a lot of money. I think he's
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: a Scott Boris guy yeap, So he's gonna want a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: lot of money. But he won't be a free agent
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: until after the twenty twenty seven season. So if I'm.
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: So, he loses a lot of value in what you
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: get back if you wait till next year.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's true. But I would be okay with them holding
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: on to him for the end of this year. And
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: I was talking about earlier there was a report that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox inquired about him and got shut down immediately,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: So I would be okay with keeping him for this
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: season trying to add, which if they add, they're not
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: going to like give up any big prospects because they
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: don't have any big prospects, so it's not like it's
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: going to matter that much.
• 18:58
  Speaker 10: So the question though is, and it's the same question
• 19:01
  Speaker 10: the Mariners and Rangers have to ask themselves. Okay, in
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: six days, what happens the next six days can go
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: a long way towards determining. I mean, because the Rangers
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: are up by two and a half games over the
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: Mariners and Astros. One bad week or one good week,
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: Like the Astros just had a really good week. It
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: took five out of they've won five out of the
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: last six, right, so, and they beat a good team
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: in the White Sox two out three, and they were
• 19:26
  Speaker 10: up and early in yesterday's game too.
• 19:28
  Speaker 9: So you either go all in.
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: Or you just kind of nickel and dominated. So it
• 19:37
  Speaker 10: becomes like watching the Dallas Cowboys. I've been watching the
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: Cowboys since, you know, I was a little kid, and
• 19:43
  Speaker 10: I remember when you know, stabauch Era and I remember
• 19:46
  Speaker 10: the great Jimmy Johnson, you know teams and then but
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: they haven't done anything, seriously, they haven't been bad enough
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: to get the number one draft pick.
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: Like the Astros.
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: They got really bad enough and they traded away some
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: very very memorable guys, some some guys that were you know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: Houston icons, and they all they went all in so
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: Houston's got to decide, Okay, do we trade Paenya and
• 20:12
  Speaker 10: if Payna, if we trade Painya, are we wasting yourd on?
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: I mean, because if the Astros truly wanted to repeat
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: what they what they did, like you you trade those
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: two guys.
• 20:25
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: I don't think necessarily that they should. Yeah, because they're
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: so close to the division lead. But but by the
• 20:34
  Speaker 9: same token, if.
• 20:35
  Speaker 10: You really be the White Sox, I mean, the White
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: Sox have got a huge, great future, but they lost
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: one hundred games three years. Same thing with the Astros.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: The Astros lost, you know, three hundred games in the
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: span of three years, but then they created a dynasty
• 20:52
  Speaker 10: and they hit right with all the draft picks. So
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: it's just one of those difficult situations. And that's why
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: they pay those g Hills some big money.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Well, so the thing about you know, you said, we
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: have a week left to the trade deadline. How you
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: do in this week can kind of determine whether or
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: not you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: Buy so right, Yeah, that you play one hundred sixty
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: two games, you're like, Okay, well what happens in the
• 21:14
  Speaker 10: next week, right, right?
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: But so I don't know that it will really determine
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that much for the Astros because for months Dana Brown
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: has said we are adding, even when they were eleven
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: games below five hundreds back in May, he said he
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: came out and said we're going to add at the
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: trade deadline two months ago. So Dana Brown has the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: whole year because I think his job's on the line
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: first of all. So I think he's gonna add no
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: matter what.
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: So the Rangers, this is the window.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: I think they're only looking at this little window right
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: now because they traded five prospects in the offseason to
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: get Mackenzie Gore.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Who is so up and down. Yeah, I didn't really
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: love that move.
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: No, I mean, if he's if he lived up to
• 21:56
  Speaker 10: his potential, like the first half last year he was
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: an All Star for the Nationals. Yeah, but then he
• 22:01
  Speaker 10: had a miserable second half. Well, so far, he hadn't
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: been that great in the first half or the second half.
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: He's shown flashes, but he's so frustrated sometimes because he
• 22:11
  Speaker 10: has that one inning and he may be cruising along
• 22:15
  Speaker 10: through the first three innings and all of a sudden,
• 22:17
  Speaker 10: in any number four he can't find the plate, or
• 22:20
  Speaker 10: if he finds a plate, it's dead center. Yeah, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: that's what I've seen him so far. So I don't
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: think the Rangers have anything in the farm system I've seen.
• 22:31
  Speaker 10: You know, I think we may have talked about this
• 22:34
  Speaker 10: last week, but they took all the averages of all
• 22:37
  Speaker 10: like Baseball America and the ESPN how they ranked the
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: farm system, and the Rangers were twenty and the Astros
• 22:42
  Speaker 10: were twenty eight.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Astros have never had a high farm but.
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: The Mariners were seven. So if they and I think
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: we did talk about this, if any of those three
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: teams can actually make a big move, it's the Mariners
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: with prospects, right, I agree, But I don't know if
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: I don't know what they need. Obviously they need a
• 23:01
  Speaker 10: lot because they were banking on Cal Rawley, maybe not
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: being you know, ALV MVP cal raleyh but certainly better
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: than this. I mean, he's been more disappointing core seeker.
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: I mean.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: That's a high bar right there. I mean it's close, right, Yeah,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Rally has been rough, But yeah, you don't really go
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: get a catcher because and they also still have Mitch Garver,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: so if they wanted to not play him as much,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: they have another guy. That they could throw in there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I mean who knows.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I mean that.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: Obviously Langaliers is not an option anymore because he tours meniscus.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: Unfortunately, that was gonna be I mean, the A's.
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: I would have seen them trading Langaliers because that's what
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: the A's do, right, I mean, if they've got a
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: super valuable chip, then they're gonna go ahead and get
• 23:52
  Speaker 10: all the prospects.
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: And the A's have been very successful doing that.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: So I think there's just a couple catchers that are
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: really contributors that are on market. I mean assumings. Yeah,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Ryan Jeffers, and I'm guessing Hunter Goodman is still available.
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: Yes he is, Okay, but that's the one player the
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: Rockies have.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, McCarthy's solid, too, but that's also a one
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: year breakout, not really a kind of.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: Not really rock I go ahead and trade him.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: McCarthy or a good Man Goodman Okay, yeah, yeah, I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: think that might be. If Scoobale doesn't get dealt and
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: and uh Goodman does, then that's probably gonna be the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: biggest haul of prospects that gets traded.
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: You know.
• 24:40
  Speaker 10: It's interesting because the Nats are kind of like flirting
• 24:43
  Speaker 10: with C. J. Abrams out there, but he's having a you.
• 24:45
  Speaker 9: Know, all star year.
• 24:48
  Speaker 10: And you know, there for a while they were looking
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: like a legit playoff team. I don't think that they really.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Are, so just a game out of the wild card.
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: The Marlins have fallen off in a hurry.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Twelve game losing streak.
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: Which is almost as amazing as the Red Sox what
• 25:05
  Speaker 10: they've done.
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: I mean, the Red Sox were out of it, forget.
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: Them, and then they won sixteen in a row, and
• 25:12
  Speaker 10: you know, I think they won again, so they've won
• 25:14
  Speaker 10: eighteen and nineteen.
• 25:15
  Speaker 9: That's just crazy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, whatever juju. The Marlins had literally just went straight
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: to the Red Sox exactly right, because the Red Sox
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: were I think it was ten games below five hundred
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: in June and now they're four games above. So there
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: might have been more than that. It was something wild.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I was looking at it the other day and it
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: was something really insane. It was a yeah, thirty two
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: and forty six. On June twenty fourth, the Red Sox
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: were thirty two and forty six. So they've gone twenty
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: two and four in their last twenty six games.
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: It's just amazing. The parody in baseball, and like you
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: look at the Blue Jays. They were just a step
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: away from winning the World Series last year. I mean
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: literally a step. Right.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: What was the guy's name that jumped on top of
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Key k Hernandez Paz. Yes, yeah, if he drops that
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: ball when they collide, right, then the Jays won the
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: World Series, right.
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's just amazing that and then this turnaround
• 26:15
  Speaker 10: and Flat's been terrible, So I mean, throw him in
• 26:19
  Speaker 10: the Raleigh Seeger category for like released valuable players in
• 26:23
  Speaker 10: the American League. But anything can happen in baseball. We've
• 26:29
  Speaker 10: seen that. I mean in the Red Sox and the Marlins.
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: Those are two two perfect cases of the best.
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: And the worst once the team gets on a roll
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: one way or another.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Right, Well, we have plenty to talk about for the
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: rest of the hour, but we're going to take our
• 26:44

• 32:15
  Speaker 2: here filling in for Chip alongside mister Rusty Berson, and
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: we are going to continue to do some MLB trade
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: deadline talk. You know, a lot of big names to
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: be moved, a lot of big names removed last year,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and you said you wanted to take a look back
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: at some of those.
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm gonna throw out a few trades that actually
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: happened last year. We'll talk about them what you think now.
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: And because the only way you actually a lot of
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: times you can't determine these these things for five, six,
• 32:43
  Speaker 10: seven years because of the prospects.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: Right, So we I don't know if we talked about.
• 32:48
  Speaker 10: Mason Miller, but he's certainly on the on the trading.
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: He's certainly kind of one of the leaders of the
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: Padres with they trade him. If you remember, it was
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: only last year that the Padres got him and they
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: sent five prospects to the A's and one of those prospects,
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: shortstop Leo de Veries is killing it at double A
• 33:08
  Speaker 10: and he's not even twenty yet. So here are the
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: Padres missing five of the prospects, five really good prospects,
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: and now they're sitting there turning around thinking about trading.
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: Mason Miller right now. Sometimes these things don't work out.
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: What what would you say about that trade? Now?
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: So the Padres, you know, they were trying to go
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: all in, just like we always encouraged teams to do
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: when when you know they have a chance. But they
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: made the playoffs obviously didn't make it that far. It's
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: very unfortunate that and it's it's the same thing that
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: happened with the Blue Jays. Other than that, the Blue
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Jays didn't really make a big move where they gave
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: up a bunch of prospects. So Leod, like when people
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: were talking about them shopping Leo di Rerees like for
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the name like that, most most people were saying, don't
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: trade him because he's going to be a star. Like
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I think he was the number three prospect in baseball
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: at the time then and now he's number two and
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: he's still just nineteen.
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: So and he's killing it double A, right.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not. It's not just that he's, oh he's
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: only nineteen, he's also playing very well. An eight twenty
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: seven ops for a guy in Double A at nineteen
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: years old is pretty insane. So I don't know if
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: this is really like the Padres fault for going after
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: a big guy. But I don't love it. I didn't
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: love it at the time, just because I don't love
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: giving up that big of a prospect for reliever in
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: any situation, even though because right he's dominant.
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah, but the potters that I had trebles scoring this year.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: So if you're going to give up your number one prospect,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: who's a top five guy in all of baseball, I
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: feel like you got to get somebody that either plays
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: every day position player or is a top line starter.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I have a hard time justifying it for a closer.
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: You know, if it works out and that team gets
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: the World Series, it's worth it.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I agree with that. Yeah, they didn't.
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: Exactly, it didn't work out, So I'll throw one that
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: I thought was good out at you. The Mariners, who
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: came very very close to winning the American League and
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: going to the World Series for their first time ever.
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: They got Josh Naylor for two pitchers, uh Braden Garcia
• 35:24
  Speaker 10: and Ashton Izzy sent them to the d Backs. In hindsight,
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: Josh Naylor was huge in the playoffs for them.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, see, that's that's the kind of move that
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I like at the deadline, is when it's a position
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: player that is going to contribute a lot like he did.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: And then you know, even just down the stretch in
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the regular season, he was really good. He had almost
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: three hundred. So I just don't love giving up big
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: prospects for relievers. But when you do it, like even
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: if you don't win, if you get a guy that's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: a position player that plays every day and you hold
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: on to him for a little while, which the Mariners,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: you know, they have him till twenty thirty, right, So
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: that's a great move even though they didn't win it
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: this past year. He's gonna be on the team until
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: he's thirty three years old in twenty thirty. So that's
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a good move regardless in my opinion.
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: Okay, I throw another one that's pretty good. Phillies upgrade
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: the outfield with Harrison Bader for the Twins. Twins get
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: hit outfielder Henry Menendez right hand to pitcher Jeremy Villa Aria.
• 36:24
  Speaker 9: Baters was very good for the Phillies.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, didn't cost that much to get
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: him either. It's another big part of it, right because
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Bater's Baiter's always kind of been that defensive first guy
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: for most of his career and he's, you know, he's
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: a solid hitter. But that was definitely the best stretch
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: of his career was with the Phillies in those fifty
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: games that he played. So yeah, that's that's like a
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: plus move, even though again they didn't win anything, or
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: at least not anything of consequence, didn't make the World Series.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: But you know, kind of kind of a by low
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Vader was having a mediocre year offensively, but then comes
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: over and has an insane fifty game stretch to propel
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: them to the playoffs and didn't work out. But again,
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: that was kind of a low risk trade that ended
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: up working out really well.
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: Okay, here's an interesting one because the Astros didn't give
• 37:22
  Speaker 10: up anything they got. They gave up Matt mcculski, who's
• 37:25
  Speaker 10: already been released by the Twins, right to bring Carlos
• 37:27
  Speaker 10: Corea back.
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: What thoughts about that?
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: So I loved that trade when it was announced, and
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: I still do. And it's it sucks that he got hurt, right,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: But my issue with that one was if Jim Crane's
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: willing to spend money on somebody, why is he doing
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: it on Carlos Korea who's thirty something and injury prone? Right, So,
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: and I love Korea. I was super excited. I thought,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: just because of honestly, just because of the vibes, we
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: were going to make the playoffs and make a run
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: just in Korea back together like that, would we not?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: And then you know, it didn't end up working out.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: But I loved that move. I just wish that Jim
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Crane would make more big money moves like that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: So here's another one that I felt.
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: I mean, we'll see how this all works out because
• 38:15
  Speaker 10: of the prospects twins saying Johann Duran to the Phillies
• 38:22
  Speaker 10: and mick Abel right handed pitcher Mickabel and catcher Eduardo Tate.
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: Obviously Duran fantastic with the twins. Jerry still out right.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Uh So this is kind of the the Billy Dean
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: playbook from back in the early two thousands, right, He
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: would just try to get a solid picture, put him
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: in the closure.
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: Role.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: If you get a bunch of saves, trade him and
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: get prospects.
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: So I'm not saying Joan Duran is just any old
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: guy that can be a closer, he's great. But anytime
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: a team is mediocre and has a closer that's amazing,
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: Trade them. Trade even if he has three years of
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: control left, trade them and get prospects, because with bullpen guys,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: you never know when they're just gonna completely fall off, right,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: So I that's a great move for them. I think
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: that's kind of a win win situation because you know
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: he continues to be great with the Phillies, the Twins
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: get prospects. They don't need a closer. When you know
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: a middling team doesn't need a good closer, there's no
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: reason to happen.
• 39:26
  Speaker 10: So what is your favorite Astros move as you're as
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: a fan that they made the trade deadline that you
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: that still sticks out is like, Okay, got him over
• 39:37
  Speaker 10: the hump, got him into the World Series exactly.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, even though that wasn't a technically the normal trade.
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: Deadline because it was after the deadline r right.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: But it's a it's the waiver trade. I still don't
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: understand how all that works, but and that that doesn't
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: exist anymore, so I don't have to understand how work, right,
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that was easily the best move. I don't
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: care who who you give up for, and they did
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: give up, you know, a future major leaguer, Jake Rogers
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: was in that trade, but they didn't. I really don't
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: think they gave up any big, big names that I
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: can remember, unless I'm just forgetting somebody obvious.
• 40:12
  Speaker 9: But yeah, I don't remember who they gave up.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: And like the Garrett Cole trade, I don't think that
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: wasn't trade deadline, but they gave up some big names
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: in that, like Joe Musgrove, and I think I want
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: to say there was another outfielder that they gave up.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: But anytime you give up big names for a proven
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: starting pitcher or position player, I'm okay with it because
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: those are the kind of guys that are usually consistent.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: When you give up big prospects for relievers, I just
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: hate those moves all the time because believers are so mulatile.
• 40:45
  Speaker 9: So I have two.
• 40:46
  Speaker 10: Moves as a lifetime Rangers fan, but I'll never forget
• 40:50
  Speaker 10: twenty ten, they're leading the division, they make a move
• 40:54
  Speaker 10: it's in three prospects who really didn't pan out.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, get cliff Ley.
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: Cliff Lee is the reason the Rangers got to the
• 41:03
  Speaker 10: World Series. He did not pitch well in Arlington, but
• 41:06
  Speaker 10: oh he pitched so well against the Rays and the
• 41:08
  Speaker 10: Yankees and American League Championship Series. Didn't pitch well in
• 41:11
  Speaker 10: the World Series, but he got him to the World
• 41:14
  Speaker 10: Series the first time and the Rangers' history and then
• 41:18
  Speaker 10: twenty twenty three, this was actually pre deadline when the
• 41:22
  Speaker 10: Rangers were struggling bullpen, I mean blown save after blown save,
• 41:27
  Speaker 10: and they went out and they got rolled. As Chapman,
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: they gave up Cole Reagan's who was really really good
• 41:31
  Speaker 10: for Kansas City, and it doesn't look like his careers
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: on the same path it was. But there for a while,
• 41:38
  Speaker 10: Cole Reagans was gonna be being talked about as being
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: an elite pitcher in the American League for a while.
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: Again, I think.
• 41:44
  Speaker 10: He's falling off that, But it didn't matter to me.
• 41:48
  Speaker 10: Cole Reagans could be the next he could win ten
• 41:52
  Speaker 10: Cy Youngs in a row, and it wouldn't bother me
• 41:54
  Speaker 10: because Chapman was a huge part of not only winning
• 41:58
  Speaker 10: the World series even though the Astros owned him, I
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: mean literally owned him.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they still do.
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: But against everybody else, he was really good and I
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: mean he he just made me nervous every time, uh
• 42:11
  Speaker 10: he came in against the Astros. But but they, for
• 42:15
  Speaker 10: whatever reason, the Astros just own him.
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: And then, of course the other moves we talked about was.
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: You know, they sent Akunya, who was a pretty big
• 42:23
  Speaker 10: prospect to get Shreser.
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: Shuser was pretty decent.
• 42:29
  Speaker 10: And not fantastic, not overpowering, but he was a steady
• 42:33
  Speaker 10: and force.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: In that rotation.
• 42:34
  Speaker 10: And then obviously the Jordan Montgomery and Chris Stratton and
• 42:38
  Speaker 10: gave up some guys that I don't know, Thomas the
• 42:42
  Speaker 10: Geese may still be good for the Cardinals.
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: I don't know at the time, but it all worked out.
• 42:48
  Speaker 10: They won a World Series and so I don't care
• 42:49
  Speaker 10: what they gave up as long as they went. Now,
• 42:52
  Speaker 10: there's other trades that they've made that were terrible and
• 42:56
  Speaker 10: they didn't work out, and that's just a risky run.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: So in my opinion, they.
• 43:01
  Speaker 10: Said a guy named Sammy Sosa to the White Sox, Yeah,
• 43:06
  Speaker 10: that didn't work out very well.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But in my opinion, anytime you make a move,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: especially if it's somebody that ends up being a big contributor,
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: and you win the big one, it doesn't matter what
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: happens to the players you gave up, Like like you
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: said with Cole Reagan's even if he wins Tensai Young's,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: you don't wish they didn't make that trade because they
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: won the World Series. I will trade, you know, five
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: years of being a terrible team for one World Series
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: in a party.
• 43:31
  Speaker 9: So of the Seattle Mariners who've ever been there exactly.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: But like you look at, you know, when the Rams
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: gave up all those players and picks to go be
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: able to get Matt Stafford from the Lions, and those
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: picks ended up being like Jamior Gibbs and Sam Laporta,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: they don't care. They won a Super Bowl even if
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: they and they did well. The Rams didn't end up
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: being bad after that, But if they would have ended
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: up being bad, nobody would have cared because they won
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.
• 43:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, you can always go back and say, well, what
• 43:56
  Speaker 10: if I mean is as long as it works out,
• 43:59
  Speaker 10: it pans out, Because like we're talking about the Blue Jays,
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: they went from almost winning the World Series knocking off
• 44:07
  Speaker 10: the Evil Empire, the other evil Empire on the West coast, right, Yeah,
• 44:12
  Speaker 10: and they were so close to winning it, and now
• 44:14
  Speaker 10: they're not really seriously a playoff team, I don't think.
• 44:18
  Speaker 10: And so from one year to the next, I feel
• 44:21
  Speaker 10: like it's worth it to go in.
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: What the Astros did, What the Rangers did?
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 44:26
  Speaker 9: They this made the farm system.
• 44:27
  Speaker 10: It's fine because the Astros won two World Series and
• 44:30
  Speaker 10: went to others. The Rangers won a World Series yep,
• 44:32
  Speaker 10: first one in their franchise history.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: So it was the first one for the Astros in
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen.
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, right, so it's worth it.
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: And then again it was like to get there for
• 44:41
  Speaker 10: the first time, to get over the hump.
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: Cliff Lee only pitched for that He was.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: A rental, but he was a heck of a good
• 44:48
  Speaker 10: rental and so they couldn't resign him because he hated
• 44:52
  Speaker 10: pitching in the heat.
• 44:53
  Speaker 9: He was terrible in Arlington.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they imagine if they'd had Globe black Field.
• 44:58
  Speaker 10: But they used that money they couldn't sign Cliff Lee
• 45:01
  Speaker 10: with to go get a guy named Adrian Beltray. So
• 45:04
  Speaker 10: it was pretty good exchange right there.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: That's one of the most I'm not even a Rangers fan,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and I love Adrian Beltray. He's just iconic.
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: Well, I'm not a Nationals fan, and I love Jordon.
• 45:14
  Speaker 10: I mean, I love to watch jord On. I just
• 45:17
  Speaker 10: that guy.
• 45:19
  Speaker 9: I don't I don't understand how anybody could not like
• 45:22
  Speaker 9: that guy.
• 45:22
  Speaker 10: He's just so so steady. So I think we talked
• 45:27
  Speaker 10: about last week when when he hit a home that
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: was a single against the Rangers, that was like an
• 45:32
  Speaker 10: impossible pitch to hit so far inside and he kept
• 45:36
  Speaker 10: it fair. It's just amazing when it.
• 45:38
  Speaker 9: Beltray was just a character though.
• 45:40
  Speaker 10: I mean he just getting thrown out of the game
• 45:42
  Speaker 10: from moving the on deck circle. I mean the fun
• 45:45
  Speaker 10: that he had, you know, kidding around with Elvis or
• 45:49
  Speaker 10: you know, just the funn he had with other with
• 45:52
  Speaker 10: other teams and opponents and umpires, just with some enjoyable
• 45:56
  Speaker 10: guy to watch.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But you know, the moral of the story, if
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: you are in a position to win big, go go
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: for it. Yeah all yeah, pull out all the stops.
• 46:06

  Speaker 2: To Powered Sports. Talk final segment of the show here
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: on A monday, Evening Caleb rapley filling in For chip
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Alongside Rescy person and we will continue OUR Mlb Rangers
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: astros trade deadline talks. Here this has been the twenty
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: twenty sixth. SEASON i think it might might be the
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: most parody that we've seen in A Major League baseball
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: season in recent memory at. Least AND i think it
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: has to do with the expanded wild, card which you
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: know we're used to at this, point but it's only
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: been four years something like that since we've had. It
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: so it's still you, know it's still very, new but
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: it's just it's part of life IN mlb now and
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: it's definitely CREATED i, think more teams having an opportunity to,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: contend AND i think it might impact this year's it's
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: gonna have a big impact on this year's trade, deadline
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: just because there's so many teams that are still can
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: see a path to the playoffs THAT i don't know
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: how many of them are going to. Sell like we've
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: talked About Trek scouble and whether or not he gets.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Traded you, know The tigers are six games below five,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: hundred but only three and a half out of a wildcard.
• 50:31
  Speaker 10: Spot so BUT i think you have to look at
• 50:34
  Speaker 10: how many teams are in front of you in the wildcard,
• 50:36
  Speaker 10: too because that's a big deal because if you have
• 50:39
  Speaker 10: to jump one, Team.
• 50:41
  Speaker 9: Okay that's, fine that's.
• 50:43
  Speaker 10: Doable but if you have to jump four or, five six,
• 50:47
  Speaker 10: teams then you're gonna need a lot of help from other. Teams,
• 50:50
  Speaker 10: sure and at some point in, time like The, orioles
• 50:53
  Speaker 10: okay they're fifty one and fifty five are they're two
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: and a half back of the final. Wildcard but they're
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: they've got to jump a bunch of teams to. Do
• 51:03
  Speaker 10: they gotta, there they gotta jump To, twins The, mariners The.
• 51:06
  Speaker 10: Astros so are they? BUYERS i mean? REALLY i mean.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: Twenty twenty, Three baltimore was supposed to be the team.
• 51:16
  Speaker 10: On the, rise, RIGHT i mean they were they, Were,
• 51:19
  Speaker 10: yeah they were going to be the team for the
• 51:21
  Speaker 10: next you, know ten years that we we thought and
• 51:25
  Speaker 10: then they've just kind of fallen off or like we've
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: already talked About toronto worst record in The American League.
• 51:31
  Speaker 9: East they were The American league champions last. Year who
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: would have thought The WHITE soxd be in first place
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: this deep into the.
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: Season and The central is not not that. Good it's
• 51:41
  Speaker 10: it's better than The, west but it's not that. Good
• 51:45
  Speaker 10: there's only a handful of really good. TEAMS i mean
• 51:47
  Speaker 10: you you look at The, dodgers you look at The,
• 51:49
  Speaker 10: brewers The.
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: Braves in The.
• 51:51
  Speaker 10: National, league The phillies have come, on but they're still
• 51:54
  Speaker 10: five and a half back of The. Braves and then
• 51:57
  Speaker 10: the team in The American league has been the best
• 52:00
  Speaker 10: pretty much all year.
• 52:00
  Speaker 9: Long is the?
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Race and where did they come? From because the last
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: year was the first, time AND i don't know how
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: long they missed the playoffs right.
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: Well and they've gotten some big performances and again they're
• 52:13
  Speaker 10: pitching really well like they always. Do AND i, guess you,
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: know being back in that dumpy little ballpark has really
• 52:19
  Speaker 10: uh given them a, lift you.
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Know, YEAH i mean it helps The trots for. Sure,
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: yeah it's you know what it's, Like.
• 52:29
  Speaker 10: We've played so many games already and they're the difference
• 52:32
  Speaker 10: between so many of these teams is so, little and
• 52:35
  Speaker 10: so that's, why you, Know i've already said, this BUT
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: i think The American Leg west is probably gonna come
• 52:38
  Speaker 10: down the last week the season and who can stay
• 52:41
  Speaker 10: the healthiest and you, know who gets hot at the right.
• 52:45
  Speaker 10: Time and you know that's The astros have won five
• 52:49
  Speaker 10: out of six and if they can keep that, going
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: then you know that they suddenly become. Buyers And i'm
• 52:55
  Speaker 10: as a Longtime rangers, Fan i'm leary of The astros for.
• 52:59
  Speaker 9: Sure if they get high.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: And absolutely they can.
• 53:02
  Speaker 10: Score and you know that's one thing that The rangers
• 53:05
  Speaker 10: have struggled with for most of the. Year The mariners can't.
• 53:09
  Speaker 10: Score so the one team in The west who can.
• 53:12
  Speaker 10: Outslug you is The.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Astros so The west is really the only division that
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: there haven't, been you, know just a couple contenders separate
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: themselves with every other. Division like there's this WEBSITE i
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: like to go. On that's the division race. Charts so
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: it's like got all the teams on their own separate
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: line and it's you, know it's a line. Graph so
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: with The central you can see The White sox and
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: The guardians separate themselves from pretty much everybody else about Mid.
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: May in The Al, east it was pretty much the
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: end Of april that The yankees And rays separated themselves
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: from everybody. Else in The Al, west it has been
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: back and forth and back and forth and back and. Forth,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: right it was The, a's it was The. Mariners now
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: it's The. Rangers it was The astros for like two
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: days In, april.
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: Wasn't it The angels? Early weren't they.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Like The angels for like the first four games of the.
• 54:05
  Speaker 9: Season, okay, yeah they got off to a fairly decent,
• 54:08
  Speaker 9: start you, know and so but, yeah you're you're exactly.
• 54:12
  Speaker 9: Right it's, crazy crazy.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: YEAR i THINK i don't know if this is a
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent, true BUT i think that every team
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: in the division has been in every place in the.
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: DIVISION i think that's probably. TRUE i think every team's been, first, second, third,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: fourth fifth at some.
• 54:27
  Speaker 10: Point so The astros got a challenge in terms of
• 54:30
  Speaker 10: not overlooking The angels and when you go out there
• 54:34
  Speaker 10: and there's nobody out there In anaheim and there's no
• 54:37
  Speaker 10: excitement out, there but they face a really strong picture
• 54:40
  Speaker 10: tonight In you're, right The rangers went out there In
• 54:44
  Speaker 10: june and got. Swept i'm, like you've got to be kidding.
• 54:47
  Speaker 10: Me but, yeah it's, baseball so anything can, happen and
• 54:51
  Speaker 10: so that's why you got to bring it. In if
• 54:56
  Speaker 10: The astros can stay, hot then that makes this series
• 54:59
  Speaker 10: this weekend really really big because if The rangers take
• 55:03
  Speaker 10: one out of three In, tampa that'd be fine with.
• 55:07
  Speaker 10: Me but it's gonna be a big series In.
• 55:11
  Speaker 9: Houston.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah before The Rangers mariners game, today each of the
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: top three, Teams, Rangers, Mariners astros were five and five
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: in their last. Ten so nobody wants right to win the.
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: Division it's, Hilarious.
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: But no one is so bad that they're falling completely off.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Exactly, yeah well that is no.
• 55:28
  Speaker 10: One no one except for the a's or a threat
• 55:30
  Speaker 10: to be and the a's and the angels are thought to
• 55:32
  Speaker 10: be The, marlins right.
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly, well that's about all the time we have. Today
