  Speaker 1: He does, so Dave Dombrowski does. I'll tell he does.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: He trades his best players. He tries to win. Get
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: your team to the World Series. You might not win it.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: That's what he does, and I love it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I love this time of year. We're gonna talk about
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: a trade later. Trade season has begun again. I know
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Dever's already happened, and aj I feel like it doesn't
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: get a ton of attention because it's placed in the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: wrong spot and we're not going to rent on it forever.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: But do you know what Sunday night is?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: The Draft?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I do know what is the draft? Well, the first
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: just the first what round or two? What do they
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: do the first night? Just the first round? How does
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: this work?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: I believe it's one and maybe the comp something like that.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: I gotta look because I'm obviously not hosting it. So
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: maybe one through sixty five or something like that, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: then they do the rest the next day. I'm old
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: enough to remember when it was three days.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I remember when it was fifty rounds or it used
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to be. Actually was unlimited rounds at one point, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: then they decided, oh, we'll just cut it down to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: fifty rounds because you know that was unlimited was too
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: much because people were picking like daughters of gms and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: cousins of nephew's uncles, brothers, sister and all this stuff, right,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and then they cut it down to fifty rounds. And
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the fifty rounds was cool because there was dudes drafted
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: like in the thirty fifth, the fiftieth round that still
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: would make the big leagues every once in a while,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Mike Piazza, those kind of guys. But then there was
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: also the guys who were drafted that late then went
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to Juco and then they signed, They were you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: draft and follows. They got rid of all that because
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: they cut down all the minor league teams, got rid
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of development and just say hey, go play and we'll
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you know, don't pitch every don't start. But that's a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: whole week and do a whole subject on what they've
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: done to developing players by cutting all the minor leagues
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: down to save money. But we don't have time for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that today.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: What round were you? Krats?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Twenty ninth doesn't even exist anymore. I tell people I
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: was twenty ninth by the Blue Jays, and then they'll be.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Like, you can't say overall you have to just say, oh,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: twenty ninth.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Twenty ninth overall by the Blue Jays.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Right, twenty ninth pick by the Blue Jays.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that too, m hm.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, now, the narrative from MLB essentially is that
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: if you are in that range, go to the independent
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: league's and if you're good enough, they'll figure it out,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: which is not the worst case in the world in
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: terms of the debate, but it's still not.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: It's much harder. It's a much harder it's a much
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: harder road because they're not scouring the independently. You have
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to go to the independent leagues and just nash and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: do something incredible in order for an MLB scout to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: go find you there. I mean, yeah, it happens, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it doesn't happen as much as a twenty ninth rounder
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: getting into a minor leagues and surprising people because sometimes
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the crowds played at a D three school, right, So
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: people really not that they didn't know what he could do,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but a lot of peop people might have been surprised
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: by his power and what he could do, and then
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: they see him in life and they're like, oh, wow,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: this guy's better than we thought.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: And they don't know. There's no way because you're not
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: playing against great competition besides summer ball, but you're also
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: like indie ball, indie ball. As a ex pro guy
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: going back to indie ball, dudes get picked up rare, rare,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: rare cases. Guys go straight to indie ball and then
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: they get picked up with an affiliated team.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Draft is rounds one through three on Sunday and then
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: four through twenty on Monday morning. It's okay, Monday morning,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: there's nothing going on, just kidding. It's Derby Day and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: our show so gets a little bit overshadowed. But that's okay. Anyway.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Let's charge. Let's start with a good players, had a
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: good career and a big contract getting cut Aja. The
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yankees designated DJ Lemayhew for assignment, and then now today
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: they have officially released him from the roster. It sounds
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: like he's not pleased. He signed a six year, ninety
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: million dollar contract. There's twenty two million dollars left for
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the rest of this season plus next season. Important caveat.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: When they signed him, the winning bid was more in
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the five year range close to that number. What the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yankees did with him was say let's stretch it out.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You'll have a much lower average annual value. It will
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: help us going up against MLB's fight for a salary cap,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: which at the moment is called the collective bart or
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: not the collective barning the luxury tax number, which penalizes
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: a team for going over that numbers. The Yanks are like,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: help us out, Let's try and stay as close to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: under that number as possible, or barely over that number.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So I just want to reiterate that technically, I look
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: at this as the contract ending at the end of
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: this year, even though he did have one year left on.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: It would have been great, nice bonus if he could
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: still kick it. But the Yankees do not deem him
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: good enough to be on their roster. As Jazz moves
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to second, they don't want him at third, and we'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: see if someone else picks him up.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're eating twenty two million dollars still, even
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: if you can try to you can try to say, however,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you want to say that they added an extra year,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but they're still eating twenty two million dollars for this
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: yes year, next.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Year, I disagree, you disagreed.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: There twenty two million dollars they're eating. How can you
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: disagree they twenty two million? There's no disagreeing with that.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Wait, can I just explain my side here? So ninety,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: let's say you go, hey, this player's worth ninety million
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: over five years, right, that is the winning bid. The
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yankees say, can we just make it six because that'll
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: be the end of your career and we will pay
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: much less money on the tax on a per year basis.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So we deem you a five year ninety player, but
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: we would like to make it a six ninety because
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: you'll be essentially done by then. And I mean it
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: looks like he is. He's done at that exact time period.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So to me, it's like the money was already paid.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you look at that with these long term deals, right,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Trey Turner signed a what twelve year contracts something like that?
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Do they think Trey Turner is going to be start
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: forty one years old? He might not even be on
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the team, But it stretches the money out. So I
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: just look at it as they got their value during
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: that time period, or that's what they were paying for.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'm asked this question. Did they get the value out
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of dj Lem that they thought they were going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: get when they signed this deal, because if you look
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: at his numbers over the length of the contract, he
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: did not live up to what he did when he
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: first got to the Yankees. I'm sorry, that's just the facts, right,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, every Yankee fan was super excited when
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they signed him. Now that everyone, all the Yankee fans
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: are super excited they.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Got rid of him.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Which one is the Yankee fans can't have both.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: This sucks for DJ, but everyone Father times undefeated, It
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: catches everybody. And he's still making twenty two million dollars
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: this year next year. So if you want to right
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: off into the sunset, DJ, enjoy your money and go
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: enjoy your family. But I don't know, I mean, it
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: still sucks with guys get DFA and release late.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: In their career.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Harry's is going to get an award here
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: MVP in the shaving world and AJ if you want
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to equate it to things that we talk about, it's
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: not expensive and it's super versatile, right the company itself,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: because there's other products that you can get on the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: site do odorate, body wash, et cetera. But for your
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: everyday shaving needs Harry's. As you covered, and you look
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: at the pricing, you look at the quality, and you're like, wait,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: why was I using the old classic brand for a
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: long time.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Listen as somebody right now that needs a Harry's, I've
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: just been lazy. Harry's. I have plenty of them lined
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: up or need to use. You can use them for
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: more than one shave, which is huge for me, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the pricing is right. I gotta go get my Harries
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: because my neck beard is sick. But Harry's will fix that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: It'll line me up straight and no bumps, no cuts.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: It's exactly what I need for a great price.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: That's right. Get the edge on your shave with Harry's.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Normally their trial set is ten dollars, but right now
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you can get it for just six dollars at Harry's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: dot com slash val that's our exclusive link Harries dot
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: com slash foal for a six dollars trial set.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Does suck because he didn't want to leave yet his
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: body said he can't play third base. That was a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: big I was listening We're driving home last night and
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I was listening to the fan and Susan Waldman interviewed
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Brian Cashman, and sounds like DJ put up quite a fight.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Sounds like he was like you know, but he was
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: also honest with the team. Maybe sometimes you could be
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: like no, no, I can definitely play third. But DJ
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: didn't do that. He said physically he could not. Whatever
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the riggers of third base added to his body, he
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: wasn't able to recover from that. He wasn't able to
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: play every single day. So he was honest. Yankees made
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the move.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: He was a good not great player for most of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: his career with Colorado. Right, very good defender, what's putting up?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: What is him putting up? Monster War numbers? And offensively,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I mean OPS was below league average every year with
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Colorado except for twenty sixteen. What you're saying, I'm off
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: on one side or the other.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I mean you said he was good, not great with Colorado.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: He was below average offensively every time you look after
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, when you look at.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: His career, would you say he was above average player?
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Hold on, I was going through the career arc. Then
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: he signs with the Yankees for two years and for
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: those two years, one of them was a COVID year,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: So I get it. It was short, but he was the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: top four MVP finisher his first two years there and
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: obviously super clutch in the playoffs in twenty nineteen for them.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Then he signs the deal after that time period. Again
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: nice player on defense, but only had one season with
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the Yankees where he was above average offensively for them
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: ten percent above average offensively for the Yankees in twenty
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: twenty two. Besides that below average, and then ye had
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years the body down. So that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: why Yankee fans look and they're like, damn, he was
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: really good for us for a couple of years and
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the rest of the time the contract wasn't worth it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna answer your question. I'd say he was overall
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and above average player if you put the whole career together.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: On the whole career, yeah, I'm not knocking the whole career.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Good player, and I'm just using his words. These are
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: not This is not my opinion. The Rockies did nothing
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to help players get ready for their games when he
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: came over. There was so much information given to him.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: He goes and he doesn't say anything. His has a
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: big old' lipper in pre game and he's like so
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: much easier to hit when they tell you before the game,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: like this is probably what they're gonna throw. And he
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: used to watch him. He used to sit breaking. He
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: used to sit fastball, drive in to the opposite field,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: and when they throw a breaking ball to him and
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it was up in his zone, he would hammer it
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: to left like professional hitters. And I felt like he
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: was a above average hit or anybody that wins a
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: batting title in two leagues. First one to do that
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: in two leagues and then you come to a place
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: where they say, hey, did you ever do this? Did
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: you ever have pregame meetings that let you know what
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: guys percentages and tendencies are? And he's like huh. He's like, yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I'd love it. What do you guys got? And he feasted.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: He feasted for a while. And you know, foot injuries.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen anybody but Albert poolhos come back from
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: foot injuries and still be productive.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Does he have a case aj to be upset or
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: this is fine.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: You can't play third where they need you to play,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: then you can't be on the team. I mean, I
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: know he's personally upset. In a lot of times, your
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: ego gets in the way, But at the end of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the day, no, he doesn't have a case because they're
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: trying to win. They're trying to get back in this race,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: and they need every all hands on deck right now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And if he can't play third, and he can't do
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: things they need him to do, then the Yankees have
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: no other choice. I guess they could have tried the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: fan of my el trick again, but I mean, what
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: good z Thatcham to just send him to Tampa for
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks and hope he finds something and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: try to bring him back. But if you can't play third,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: there's no reason. Especially with Jazz moving a second. You
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: have a first baseman and Goldschman and Bellinger, they rotate
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: through their nicely. Volpi's gonna play shortstop. DJ doesn't play
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the outfield. DJ is not going to be your DH
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: as long as Stanton's on the field and on the team.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, there was no room for him. It sucks again,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: but that's just he doesn't I mean, your ego gets
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: in the way. As a player, We've all been there.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you have to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: understand the situation, the team and the organization is in
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and got to go from there.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're left side of the infield needs work right now.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Volpi's Volpi's gonna play. They're not gonna
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: replace him this year, even though Yankee fans lately have
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: been losing their mind about him. Let's show the clip
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: about who is it Boonie addressing Anthony Bolpi and then
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: or Cashman sorry, and then we can talk about the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: third base replacement options here.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember the viral TikTok of me and Jel
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Sherman discussing whether our development program produces hitters or not.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: So I'm a fan of Olpie. Uh yeah, I know
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: it's been streaky. You know, it depends on what month
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: he might ask, So right now, I know he's had
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: some struggles. The one thing I do tell you I
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: admire about Anthony Volpi is his strength and fortitude. Obviously,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: he's the starting short stop for the New York Yankees,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: helped us get to a World Series last year, performed
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: in the World Series last year, and lacks He does
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: not lack confidence. And yes, there's struggles that have happened.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: That's why you're asking the question understandably, So and yet
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: you know he's like this, you know, it's to him,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: it's you know, turn the page, and he's theocused on
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: tonight's game. And and I do have belief and optimism
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: that that he obviously will impact this in a really
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: positive way on both sides of the ball. And so, yeah,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: he's our shortstop. And as I said, doesn't I don't
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: forget where he was and what he was doing in
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: the biggest stage of the game last October. And yeah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: despite the twists in terms of how the season currently
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: is playing out, a lot of season left to be played,
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: so I would not I'm not counting him out. I
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: know he's going to be part of the solution and
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: rather than the.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Here's my thing with that. Yeah, that's great that you
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: think this and that. But he's right on pace for
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: where he's been for three years now. This is his
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: third year in the big leagues. He plays a good,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: solid short although he started making some throwing errors, which
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: has been kind of awkward for him. But offensively, I mean,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he was a eighty one ops plus his first year,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: eighty six last year. He's at nine. Obviously, that's still
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: got a ways to go. We got over almost half
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the season left, so he's right where they want him
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: to be. He's his numbers are lining up pretty much
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: with where he's been the last two years. So if
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that's what the Yankees went out of their short stop,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: then yeah. Brian Cashman believes in Anthony Volpe because he's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: defense first. He'll steal you some bases. He'll get a
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: hit every once in a while. Yea, he's streaky, but
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: when he goes bad, it goes bad. And that's but
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: this is what he is. This is what he's been
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: for three years. It's not like, oh my gosh, he
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: has a one forty oh ps plus one year and
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: then he fell back down to ninety. I mean, he's
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: been around eighty mid eighties his whole career. So he's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: right where he needs he's been.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Some teams have prospects that get overhyped and some teams
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: have prospects that get under hyped. The Cardinals seemed to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: be that team for years where you like, wouldn't hear
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: about anyone and then they would come out of nowhere
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: and be great. The Yankees are on the other side
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of the spectrum. That has helped them with some trades too.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: No Crats you disagree. I mean for Volpe and hey,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I live in the area. Where I lived in the area,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: people were like, oh, we got the next Jeter coming
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: up on this shit, dude, hold up, hold up. But
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: his defense has taken a little step back too. So
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: right now he's okay. I mean he's he's about an
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: average to a little slightly below average player.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Right now, he's a big league shortstop. I'm gonna go
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: out and say it. I get it. He's got eleven errors.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: He's leading the league right now, or he's leading shortstops
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: with the most errors right now at eleven. To me,
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: he's a big league shortstop. I think if the expectation
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: is that you have a Jeter, you have a a Rod,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: you have whatever whatever shortstop like from the past, I
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: guess ay Rod've never played short for the Yankees, but
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: you're not just gonna have a superstar at every position.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: And I would say temper your expectations because this guy
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: adds above average value to your team. Just don't expect
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: him to hit twenty five thirty homers. He's gonna steal
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: his fifteen to twenty two backs. He's going to play.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: To me, plays great short shortstop but this year he's
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: got a few airs. Maybe maybe he is incredible the
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: rest of the year and he ends with his fifteen
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to eighteen airs that you know, a slightly above average
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: shortstop mix.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think even for tempered expectations, he
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: has not hit them yet. And he's young. It could
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: still happen. But I think at this point we know
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: he's not going to be a superstar player. I think
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: that's pretty safe to say he's not going to all
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I bet he.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Could make an All Star team at some point in
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: his career. I think he could make an All Star team,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: and you don't get rid of that. So I would
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: tell Yankees fans, chillax, you got bigger issues than Anthony Volpi.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then last thing, so on the third base
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: replacement side for the Yanks, we actually talked about this
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: a lot on yesterday show. There's a video out there
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: on YouTube too, So if you want to click into
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that and see our take on a Gino Suarez, maybe
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a Ryan McMahon buying low at this point since the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: offensive numbers are down for him, then you can check
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: that out. And for LeMay, he you just give me
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: a thumbs up or thumbs down while I read this.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Do you think he latches on with another team? We've
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: had a few jokes in the chat saying maybe he
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: goes back to the Rockies. Joel Sherman said he was
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: mainly hitting the ball hard, but on the ground, swinging
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and missing more than ever. Range at second was small,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: so pro who can help someone's bench, But for the
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yankees they have Stanton as DH only three left handed
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: hitting catchers Lea Mayhew made their bench way too inflexible,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: not verstle enough. You guys think he'll latch on with someone, Okay,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I'll give you the thumbs up there too. You just
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: hope it's not just a call from the Rockies or
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: the White Sox or something like that. But we'll see
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: what happens. Yeah, we'll see see. I mean, it's not
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: like he wasn't hitting terribly. I think he was a
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: ninety ops plus and like Joel mentioned, hitting the ball hard.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But for now, the DJ Lem Mayhew
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: deal with the Yankees is now done. He has cut
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: his tenure with the Yankees is over. Hey, let's do
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a little player spotlight thanks to Arena Club AJ give
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: me a player this season that you think is underrated
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and you might want to try and grab his card.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: James would.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington National's superstar
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: in the making, and the first slab pack I ever
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: opened had him in it, his rookie card, and the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: value is only going to go up and up and up.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sell it Kwi yet. Scott. I'm
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: gonna hold on to because after he continues to hit
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: big homers and put up the stats make All Star teams,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: it's gonna get more expensive for someone to buy. For me.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: This is his first full season in the majors. Keep
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: that in mind. I think he's underrated. He's on a
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Nationals team that's man hadding enough attention.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: He might underrated. When he makes the All Star team
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: this year, they're not going to be underrated.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: That helps. He's been intentionally walked four times in a game. Anyway,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: If you want to try and find a wood rookie card,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: go check out slab packs on Arena Club and right
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: now you can get twenty percent off your first lab pack,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Or if you just want to go with a card purchase,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: go to Arena club dot com. Slash f oul, use
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: code foul. If you I sell, trade, collect go for it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Last year sy young winner and a strong contender. This year,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Tarry Scooble hates the good part of the lineup for
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: your favorite team. Here's some evidence two three four hitters
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: against Schoogle this season on base percentage one ninety six,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: best mark for schoobl against that portion of the order
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: among qualified starting pitching. So aj, we know he's clutch.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: We know he goes deep into games. He also gets
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the best hitters out.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: He's the best pitcher going right now. I mean in
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the American League for sure. I mean you can make
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: an argument for Skeens, I guess in the National League.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: But Terrek Scooble gets everybody out. And when I was
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it just in Atlanta, his face was right when I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: walked into the hotel, I said. An instagram posted him
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: actually pitching right handed, which looked so weird. And then
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Wheeler was next to him with throwing left handed because
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: it was the backside of this big giant sticker they
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: threw on this window. But man, this guy is the best,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and his personality is coming out. He's a great interview
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and he's great for baseball.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: He is great not only for all of baseball, but
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: especially baseball in Detroit. Man when it's schooball day in Detroit.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Who how place is electric.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: High corner time powered by Next Playgrounds. You want to
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: get active this summer, If you're inside AND's super hot
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: in an area of the country that you're at, then
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: check out Next Playground in the new home run Derby game.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: We'll give you more at the back end of this segment.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Let's go right to trade news. I think this one
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: was pretty significant. Aj It's a name that most of
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: baseball fan wise does not know, but he's had a
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: really nice year. The peripheral numbers are good. Brian Baker,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: he's got multiple years of control. So here it is
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Robert Murray reporting on it this morning. The Rays are
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: acquiring reliever Brian Baker from the Orioles, according to a
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: source familiar with the deal, And we can roll a
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: few of the other tweet tear gab two just to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: give her one more information on what Baker was bringing
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: to the table mid threes era for the Oriols this season.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: The Rays obviously have had a really surprising start to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: the year. The Orioles are ten games under five hundred
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: seven games back of a wild card with like six
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: or seven teams between them, and even teams that hold
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: a spot. So they're done. This is the beginning of
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the cell. John Haymon said, Orioles sold here, but there
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: was some urgency to make this deal since the Ras
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: are sending number thirty seven overall, pick a compensation balance
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: round pick to Baltimore or to Tampa Bay. I should
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: say for Baker, the Orils may be trending sale, according
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: to Hayman, but they have time to decide on bigger
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: pieces like o'hearne, Eflyn, Chicano, Mullins, Bautista. For me, by
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the way, I put Bautista in a different category because
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: he's got multiple years of control left. He costs nothing.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: But that is Baker, guys, Gay So here's stuff plus
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: from Alex Fast. We'll give you two more. Baker not
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: only has had the best change up on the ools,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: it's the fourth best change up in all of baseball.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm sure the Rays are drooling about that. Two of
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: five sleven percentage was top twenty amongst changeups. He said,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: no surprise. He started to increase the usage as the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: season went on and he's curious to see how the
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Rays utilize it. But Fast also, who's super dialed in
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: on the Ools in a front of the show, was
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: surprised by the movie figure the O's would sell. But
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: a good reliever with three years of control and a
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: thirty three percent strikeout rate wasn't who I thought would
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: be first to go, especially this far from the deadline.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: And to me, aj, I'm going to continue to pile
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: on the Orioles doing a terrible job of making trades
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: cute cool. You got to pick your winning window is
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: now stop playing the ten year game.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, But I don't know why they
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: traded this guy. He was having a really nice year
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: until he pitched against the Mets the other It was
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the Mets. He gave it, Yeah, the Mets the other day.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: His numbers are really good toil, you get the two
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: homers of Lindor and Alonso the other day. But I
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: don't get it. I just don't understand. You trade your
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: other guys first, And I get they wanted that thirty
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: seventh pick. That thirty seventh pick had also turned into nobody, Like,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. The Orioles have had all these
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: prospects for years and they have this guy and they
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: have that guy. Well, guess what, Kirston Here's dead. Gustin
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Herestad is back in Norfolk right now, right like they
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: had the chance to trade him. Look at Stours. They
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: traded him and he's going off right all these guys.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Norby's doing a nice job for Miami. But Koby Mayo
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: hasn't proven that he can do anything yet. So at
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: some point, prospects got to turn into suspects or the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: prospects got to turn into proven big league players. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: right now they're having a problem doing both. And they
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: got to proven big league player and Baker, why not
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: keep them and trade one of the other guys that
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: they could get some more prospects and try to turn
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: them into something. I don't know this. Migalaiaz is smarter
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: than me, so go Orioles.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Just to clarify, their winning window is over this five
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: year period. It's not this season. Because they didn't make
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: the right moves in the off season. We smash them
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to pieces and all of that has played out to
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: a t. We are often wrong, but when we are right,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: we have to make sure we emphasize how much they
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: messed up their offseason, and it wasn't the spending, it
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: was the way that they spent. Let's show this one
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: other tweet and then we'll get Kratz's thoughts, because again,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I think they're gushing way too much about the ten
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: year plan slot value for pick thirty seven. According to
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Jake Rill on Twitter, two point six million dollars. He said,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: this means the Oils will have the most bonus pool
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: money of any MLB team, increasing it to nineteen million dollars.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: No doubt. You need to draft and develop well, and
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you need to have players on league minimum and our
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: money and all of that that are stars and lock
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: them up long term. But krats enough, We're trading a
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: guy with three years of control. I mean, he could
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: be pitching in the World Series for you in the
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: seventh inning next year and you just got rid of him.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Unless they're not going for it, unless they don't know
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: how to go for it. I mean, basically, they're collecting
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: coupons and they're like, we're gonna get so much value
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: out of all of these coupons that we're collecting nineteenth
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: almost twenty million dollars that they can use in the
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: bone in the slot pool. Draft money like that does nothing.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Adlie Rutchman may not even be there when any of
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: those draft picks that they take this year are finally
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. Like right now, Addlie Rutchman, Gunner Henderson,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Jake Westberg, Coldn Kowser, these guys are the future World
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Series contenders for the Orioles, They're like, you know what, Scott,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: you were right. We did blow this offseason. We had
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: our opportunity. We actually got seventy I think three million
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: dollars to put to put into our roster. Some of
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: it was arbitration. We missed on a few trades. Sonny
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Gray didn't want to come over here, Corbyn Burns spurned us,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: and you know what, We're just gonna go back to
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: getting more prospects, hoarding all of them. And you know what,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: if the guys in the big leies don't do well,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: oh well, this trade, while it's not on the same
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: level at all, makes me feel like maybe they will
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: get rid of Felix Bautista. Maybe if you, if you
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: entice him with enough coupons, if the Phillies come and say, hey,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: you can have all of our bonus pool, We're not
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: even gonna draft anybody this year. We'll take Felix Bautista.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: They might be like, oh, we could have more coupons
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: for players that haven't ever done anything at the pro level.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Need oh gang.
• 27:00

  Speaker 2: gunslinger more than the Orioles Right now?
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: Dave Dombrowski would be drooling, He'd be like, he would

  Speaker 2: Aj they tanked for a half a decade, a half
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: a decade of a disgusting product, and then you reap
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: the benefits of having some really really nice core players.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: What the hell is going on there? Now?
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: We need to get Mike Elias on and ask him.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know what what.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Can we say?
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: We've said it, we've been We've been saying this for
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: how long?
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: How long are we talking about this? I mean it's
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: been for two years. They haven't won a playoff game
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: with this core? Right?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: They have it? Yes, that they had some injuries.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, has every other team had injuries?
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, they lost.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: They got swept by the Rangers two years ago, they
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: got swept by the Tigers last year. They haven't won
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: a playoff game. They're not going to the playoffs this year,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: so they ain't gonna win again. I don't I don't
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: know what there is to say. I really don't know
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: what to say other than you need proven big league players.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: It's great again have all the prospects you want, but
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: at some point they got to turn into players. And
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: if you don't have proven big league players, you usually
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: aren't making the playoffs, and you usually aren't winning in
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the playoffs if you do make it. So listen, Adlie
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Rutchman has had a downturn. He's doing a little better now.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Gunner hasn't had the year we expect. Jackson Holliday has
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: been better. But some of these other names we hear
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: firstad Kobe Mayo, all these names we've been here. Even
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: besides what's the name Basillo the catcher he's in he's
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: in the minor leagues right what they're gonna call him
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: up with Adley there and they're gonna split time at
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: dh Tyler O'Neill has been hurt this entire signing. Right
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: there's Ramon Loreano has been good. Trade him well. His
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: values as high as it can because he's been he's
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: been bouncing around every team. He's having a great year.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Trade him took a tender. I don't know. I don't
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: know what the answer is, but I know the answer
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: isn't what they're doing right now because they haven't won
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: a playoff game.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and blaming then injuries is soft. There's plenty of teams.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: To with injuries right now.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just bringing it up because I mean
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the owner said it. I think it was yesterday the
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: day before owner David Rubenstein, who's a new owner taking
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: over the team, and he's given payroll out. I mean,
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the thing is they increase peril. I think by like
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: fifty million bucks. That's a lot in Major League Baseball.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I'll give him a ton of credit for doing that part.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: The GM did not spend it well. Corbyn Burns didn't
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: spurn them, by the way, he got less money guaranteed
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: offered from Baltimore. Almost every pitcher, especially pitcher, is going
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: to take the higher guaranteed money. Now he ends up
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: needing TJ. They can look at it and be like,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: we dodged a bullet in terms of injuries whatever. We
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: didn't know that was coming. Max Freed would have been
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: nice on the Oriels right about now, but Rubenstein said,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: we have a lot of injuries. We lead the major leagues.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I think in injuries. No, you don't. And what are
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you supposed to say to a young person who injures
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: his arm. You can't say, go out and play when
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: your arm's injured. So it's difficult. I'm not able to
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: coach these players very much. I can't tell them what
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: to do. I'm seventy five. These guys are twenty one
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: to twenty two years old. No doubt, you should not
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: tell the players what to do. They know how to ball,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: and they know if they're hurt or not. But what
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: you should tell your GM is that you need to
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: win right now or I'm going to fire your behind
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: period next year. They better win playoff games or there
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: is no chance that that front office should be in place.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: Even going back, blaming Brandon Hyde for what happened just
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: now is obviously something that you have to use as
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: a scapegoat because this has been such a disastrous season,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: but geez, this is frustrating. Anyway, Hot Corner was powered
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: by Next Playground. Check out this little clip because we're
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: going to be playing this game and showing it to
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: you next week.
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Even Summer needs a back up with Pal, a little
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: sidekick in the big kind of chaos, the kind of
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: partner that turns living rooms into playgrounds and reminds us
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: what our bodies and our hearts were made for. Play
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: that moves you.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Anyone worried about the Dodgers six game losing streak, Show
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: of hands, Bueller Well, Buelier's not there anymore, but nobody cares.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Anyone cared, anyone worried. No, Okay, that's why we're only
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: spending a minute on it during a break with our favorites,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: our YouTube crowd, which, by the way, if you're watching
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: right now and you haven't subscribed, it'd be cool if
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: you pressed the button. But anyway, aj, what's gone on
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: in the past week for LA besides Max Mounsey not
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: being there?
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, the Brewers pitched really well against them. That
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: was one thing. They didn't get a lot of clutch hitting,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: and you know they came off the big the big
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: series against Houston or before Houston. Houston came in and
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: swept them. But Houston pitched really well and they knew
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: what was coming. So anytime the other team knows what's coming,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: according to orl hirsche as.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Or they hit better.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, but I mean they're pitching is destroyed. They're pitching.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: They're pitching for the for the Dodgers, especially against Houston
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: as we as Alana said on Monday, wasn't their best three.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: But then they went to Milwaukee and they did run Yamamoto,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: who didn't last very long. Kershaw pitched actually pretty well,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: but miss pitch better, and then they made They've also
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: made some slight mistakes defensively, which we normally don't see
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: from the Dodgers, throwing to the wrong base and doing
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: some fundamental things that we haven't seen from them in
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: the past. They'll clean it up. They'll be fine, but
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: they kind of get healthy and we glassed out pitch
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: pretty well yesterday, so they're getting their guys back. It's
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: just a matter of getting it all together. They're gonna
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: be fine. They haven't hit, but they have hitters. They'll
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: be fine.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Better than box scores, we go let's show the latest
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Home Run Derby participant announcement, and it is one we're
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: excited about because he's great for the game. He tweets,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: he does interviews, he's super smart, he's a great story in.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: His name is Brent Rooker. That's cool, hey, j I
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: love Brent Rooker getting into the derby.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Can we have a mic up live for FT during
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby and just have Michael out on
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the field with him during Home Run Derby and filming him.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: We can just run it on FT the next day
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: live and have him talk and just go like vlog it. Right,
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Let's have a vlog with Rooker and Michael and they've
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: vlogged the whole Home Run Derby and hopefully he makes
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: it past the first round and makes it to the finals.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: And we can have Scott run out there with the towel.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: We can have Crafts run out there with the half
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: drank Gatorade, and then we can have me just sit
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: back and watch and laugh at how sweaty you guys
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: are in Atlanta.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Only if Scott doesn't have a shirt on. Scott needs
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: to bring the towel out around his neck no shirt on,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: and then Rook takes the towel off his neck and
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: is like, I think I got this one, guys.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Well it's fine, guys. I mean it's a retractable roof
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: in Atlanta, so we'll all be oh wait, they built
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: the new ballpark wide open whatever. I like heat, so
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to complain. But I am excited for Rook.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, he has really earned everything that he's done
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. You signed the big extension in
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: the offseason. This was a guy who was what waved
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: by two three teams and then all of a sudden
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: latches on with the a's takes off and the power
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: is super impressive for him. He's, in my mind, one
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: of the more cerebral, intellectual, whatever you want to call
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: it hitters out there. We used the example earlier about
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: DJ Lemayhew and how he finally learned how to get
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: legit info once he went from the Rockies to the Yankees.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Brent Rooker is that kind of guy too. Uh, let's list.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Is sorry. Is Rook enough of a neanderthal to be
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: able to win the home run Derby in the sense
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: of like like just go out there and just you're exhausted,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: keep hitting those dangers, get the extra one that goes
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty five feet all that stuff.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be fine.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: He'll be fine. You think he could win it though.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: My only thing is I feel like Rooker is less
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: than natural born versus some of the other guys. So
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: can he do that consistently and put on a VP
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: show for a few rounds.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: As long as his matchups are good where he gets
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: a little break in between if he has to go
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: back to back like sometimes when you see most of
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: the guys get tired is when they have to go
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: quick back to back. That's when you really see it
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: catch up to him. As long as he gets that
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: break right in between, I think he can. He's gonna
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: go inside. You're gonna tell him off. Scott Kratz is
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: gonna give him the gate right, and Michael's gonna be
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: there to vlog it all. We need to make this happen.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, I need the mic.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: You have his number, Yeah, I need the mic on
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: you have his number a J So text him and
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: ask him and obviously if he says yes to all
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: of those things will make it happen. MLB won't let
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: me on the field. Probably in that form, they'd have
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: a heart attack. When I was working for them, they
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: wouldn't even let me have a beard. All right, Let's
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: get to the replacements on the All Star roster. Congratulations
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: in seriousness to Zach McKinstry, another guy who has fought
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: for everything that he has gotten on the field. He
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: replaces Jeremy Panya, who will be there but obviously can't
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: play because he's got the rib injury. Andrew Abbott, which
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: we talked about yesterday, takes over for Yamamoto who's starting
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. Esach Paratus replaces Jose Ramirez who's taking a break.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: He's dealing with some achilles issue. In Paratus has been
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: exactly what we expected in an astro's uniform pull power
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: for days. Joe Ryan replaces Hunter Brown, Trevor McGill, Bruce
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Closer replacing his buddy Freddy Peralta who's starting on Sunday,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: but Freddy p will be there, maybe he'll come on
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: the show. Junior Camonaro is now starting at third base
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: because of Ramirez and breg not involved. And then Robert Suarez,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: the Padres closer replaces Chris Sale, who also will be there.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I know who you want to shout out from that list.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I just said, Kratz.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: You don't know me.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Zach McKinstry.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: A hundred percent. The guy is. He's not a grinder,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: but I do love watching him. I love watching him play,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: and I think he embodies what the Tigers are doing.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Zach McKinstry should have been a starter, but it didn't happen.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Sometimes there's falls in the system. I'm glad they got him.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: In same congratulating deep right.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: After he was announced. Didn't he go deep last night yesterday,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: right after he was announced as an All Star like
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: the next to Batti went deep. It's pretty cool. It's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: pretty awesome for.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Him, very cool. Yeah. I mean they've been singing his
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: praises in Detroit and they were pushing for him and
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: it happened, So I'm happy about it. Those are the
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: kind of stories where it's like, I think grinder krats
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: playing in multiple orgs, plain multiple positions, not a big name,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: but a solid contributor now putting up All star level numbers. AJ,
• 38:10

• 39:10
  Speaker 2: tweet from Rob Bradford, who covers the Red Sox. An
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: interesting thing about Nervaia's throwing so many guys out. He
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: is using the same weighted ball program that pitchers work with,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: and for Carlos Narbias his throwing bloss he has gone
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: from about seventy four miles an hour last year to
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: seventy eight to seventy nine miles an hour this year.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Aj thoughts on the same program that pictures are using
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: for catchers.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Now it works. Someone at Ryan Jeffers, I think used
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: this last year or two years ago to do the
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: same thing. But here's the thing about way to balls.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Make sure you're physically developed before you start using them,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: because too many kids are like twelve years old are
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: doing this and they're like, oh my arm hurts ow. Well,
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: you're throwing a seven pound ball against the wall from
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: thirty feet Like no, Like, let's let's make sure you're
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: developed before you get into this stuff. Please. That's it.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: It's a p psa public service announcement. Yes it increases velocity. Yes,
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: it will increase your velocity. No, you should not do it.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: If you are I'm not even gonna say an age.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Just go out and throw an actual baseball that will
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: increase your arm strength. If you're a kid, but that's
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: awesome any I mean arm strength behind a dish that's huge,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: super important. Right.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm saying, if you're an established big league catcher
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: twenty five, twenty seven, whatever, most guys should do this right, increase.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: The It doesn't increase everybody's. It doesn't increase everybody's You're
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: not just going to automatically. I mean going to the
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: days where people are like, oh, go do this and
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: you just automatically increase your velocity. A lot of guys
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: use the weighted balls now for maintenance and armcare, like
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: to warm your shoulder up, so cool down postgame stuff.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: So Matt Gelb covers the Affilies for the Athletic and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: put out a story this morning saying, what we're hearing
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: at the Phillies straight headline plans? Will they take a
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: bigger swing? I mean I'll answer that it's Dave Dombrawski, yes,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: and the windows closing for them at some point. So
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: he talked about how Major League sources said initial indications
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: are the Phillies want to shop this July in a
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: more expensive aisle than the rental one, and they feel
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: like they have the prospects to pull it off. They
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: have a specific interest in the American League Central. Sounds
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: like they're scouting the Twins. There could be a match
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: with the Guardians as well. The first direction I'm going
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: if I hear those two teams Skratz is wanderand in
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: em manual class they want controllable, high leverage arms to
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: fix the bullpen. Do you think they can pull off
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: a deal like that?
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: Are you willing to give up some of your starting
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: pitching prospects, maybe even like a Justin Crawford, I mean
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: classe Is. That's actually I actually said this jokingly to
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: my son yesterday and we're driving home. Would you be
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: willing to give up Mick abel and two of your
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: best prospects? Obviously, I don't think. I think Andrew Paynter
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: is off the table. But Mick Abels shown he can
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: pitch in the big leagues. Is he elite yet?
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: No?
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: But the Guardians, the Guardians, in my opinion, they don't
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: want just like low level prospects. They always trade these
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: guys for guys who are either big league ready or
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: close to big league ready. So Class A.
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: May be a little bit of a push.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: But it's funny because strikeouts the Phillies really need and
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: want strikeouts in the back end of their bullpen. And
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: both of those guys, while they are elite arms, and
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: there's something like some ridiculousness coming out of them. You're
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: not talking about like dudes that are striking out fourteen
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: guys per nine. They're not striking out the world. And
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: will Philly fans be able to be okay with the
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: fact that Emmanuel Classe you know, didn't have a great
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: playoffs last year like that' say, that's a fear. But
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: if you have a chan has to get either one
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: of those closers, an actual bona fide closer, dom Browski
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: will do.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: It, Tod he does, so Dave Dombrowski does. That's what
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: he does. He trades his best players. He tries to win.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: He gets your team to the World Series. You might
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: not win it, but that's what he does and I
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: love it. Listen, Tobouz a Phillies fan who cares you're
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: gonna trade your best two prospects. You know what, there's
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: a draft that in about two days where they can
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: go get more prospects and he can refill the system
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: and hype them up and then trade them again for
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: big league players. This is what we just talked about.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: The anti Orioles, They're not that far away. Dobrowski goes
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: and does it good for you?
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Dave? I love you.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Plus you're Polish, and hey, they did multiple deals last
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: year that involve bullpen pieces going left and right with
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: the Orioles. I wouldn't sleep on them either. I mean,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Michael Ayas is already indicating that he's in more of
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: the ten year plan mode. If you want to backtrack
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: on the show from today, Felix Bautista is controllable for
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: multiple years. He I think can close out a big
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: playoff game, world series, whatever you want to call it,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: right against big hitters, and here's the night he would
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: look real nice. Yeah, I mean, I don't think the
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Oil should trade him, but I didn't think they should
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: trade the guy that we just talked about earlier in
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Brian Baker. But okay, so let's try and do this then.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: I mean the simple version, Kraft, you brought it up,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Mick Abel plus either Aiden Miller or Justin Crawford. Do
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: one of those guys combined with Mick Abel, I think
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: get it done on the Orioles, Guardians or twin side,
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I say, yes, Do the Phillies do that? Do they
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: take two of those guys and trade them away, Like
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: let's say Miller. I think Miller's rated higher on most
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: sites than Crawford. Okay, so let's go with the higher
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: rated prospect Aiden Miller and Mick Abel for one of
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: those closers. Do you think Philly fans would be okay
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: with that? Because that is a pretty big package. Those
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: are two A list prospects.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I think they definitely work, and I think that that
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: fit is in Cleveland looking for a shortstop. I only
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: the Orioles necessarily one. I mean Aiden Miller right now
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: is supposedly gonna play a third, so maybe that's where
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: where it where it goes. But he's a shortstop currently,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: and to me, I think I think Philly fans are
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: one hundred fine with that. Look at the history of
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Philly prospects that have been traded, and it's worked out
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: pretty well.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Or Craps, this is all you, baby. I just give
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: you a note. It probably didn't pop up because your
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: basement Wi Fi is slow mode. Yeah, well take it
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: there it is.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: It just came up the h So this is my
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: slap hands obviously, I'm gonna give you, give you my
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: NYPD Yankees hat cool. I just found it in the pile,
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: so I figured i'd throw that. John On but prospect baseball,
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: Carson Glows set the new world record for hardest pitch
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: at any prospect slash, any baseball game ever. He won
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: the pitchers on my son Ethan's team. He threw seven
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: hundred and seventy five miles an hour. I'm pretty sure
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: it's gonna rocket him up the draft board, even though
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: he's only sixteen years old. But if it's on the board,
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: it's not a lie. I was up there for a
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: few days.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: If he's got a repeatable delivery, I'm going Carson number
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: one this year. It was cute, cute little glitch there. Hey,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: it happens, it happens. What did Carson say?
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Carson said, I've been using the heavy balls for a
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: long time.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: I thought you said you can't do that until what age?
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: He's a full grown man. Carson's a full grown man.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm going throw seven hundred and seventy five
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: miles an hour. Then, yeah, he is a full grown man.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I agree, all right, So today's Thursday. That means Aj
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: not here tomorrow, but we'll see him on Monday in
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: at l Also, this weekend is big for you.
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Aj find Chicago tomorrow to do our twenty year reunion
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: for the White Sox for two thousand and five World Series.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting, it's gonna be fun, but there's
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be definitely some sad parts with Bobby Janks not
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: being able to be there and some other guys that
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: can't make it and and or weren't invited, which was
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: also an interesting play by certain people. It's weird, but
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: no comment on that, but certain people that did a
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: lot of things on that team. I actually saw Joe Borcherd,
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: who was on that team yesterday in Atlanta and he's like,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: enjoy the weekend. I wasn't invited, and he was on
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: that team and played it.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: He wasn't invited either.
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Nope. So yeah, it's amazing. I told you that place
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: I went to Maven Baseball. Joe Borcherd's kid was in there,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Andre Ethier was in there with his kid. All these
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: people were in this place. It was pretty it was
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: a pretty crazy place that we're in. But yeah, there's
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: definitely some people that were not invited.
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: What was the qualification for getting the invite because most
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: teams invite basically everyone.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Brandon McCarthy didn't get invited, and he
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: started like twelve games a year, so I don't know
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: what the what the cutoff was.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: Wow, I guess you'll find out. You'll be our reporter
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: on the scene.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I always thought again, I always thought,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: if you played in that in a game that season
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: and got a World Series, you probably should be at three.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: Now. I didn't get invited to the twenty fifteen World
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: Series reunion stuff for the Royals, but I got invited
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: to fourteen and I did nothing in fourteen.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know whatever, Hey, some mys. So I just
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I'm going to show up and be there for the fans,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: and I get to catch the first pitch from Canerico. Canerko,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: don't bounce it, because if you do, I'm gonna chuck
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: it so hard at your knees you're not gonna be
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: able to move.
• 48:46
