Speaker 4: and armand Sorry, and it's fire your Agent Wednesday. What
1:50
Speaker 4: are we doing here on the slowest sports week of
1:52
Speaker 4: the year talking about the slowest All Star game in
1:55
Speaker 4: memory at least in ten years, first shutout in more
1:59
Speaker 4: than ten years. Twenty thirteen. Welcome in, boys, I'm Drew,
2:02
Speaker 4: There's Billy.
2:02
Speaker 1: How are we doing it?
2:03
Speaker 3: Seems like the National leaguers Drew just decided that they
2:07
Speaker 3: were going to take the Phillies crowds direction and just
2:10
Speaker 3: boo them throughout the entire game and not show up
2:13
Speaker 3: for most of the nine innings.
2:14
Speaker 1: Three hits.
2:15
Speaker 3: I know the pitching is good in Major League baseball.
2:18
Speaker 3: I didn't realize it was that damn good over on
2:20
Speaker 3: the American League side because all the wins during the
2:23
Speaker 3: regular season have been over on the National League side.
2:25
Speaker 4: So combined, I think what twenty seven strikeouts between the
2:28
Speaker 4: two teams?
2:29
Speaker 1: Wow, fifteen by the National League.
2:31
Speaker 4: The National League had three hits, all singles, a couple
2:35
Speaker 4: of walks, and did not advance a runner pass first base.
2:38
Speaker 4: Not a recipe for success in baseball of any type.
2:42
Speaker 3: Got that big market manager, he hit Pat Murphy and
2:44
Speaker 3: there would have these guys.
2:45
Speaker 1: Bunting the dudes over moving the runner. Thank you, Billy exactly.
2:49
Speaker 2: You know, it does kind of personify I guess the
2:52
Speaker 2: game of flame throwers, right, or dominating in that sense,
2:55
Speaker 2: or or this is maybe the era of the pitcher
2:58
Speaker 2: and so many good arms. But yeah, I mean, forgive
3:02
Speaker 2: me if this is like a time maybe a casual take.
3:05
Speaker 1: It's boring this way. I'm sorry.
3:07
Speaker 2: I understand the dominance of pictures, but you do want
3:09
Speaker 2: to see a little.
3:10
Speaker 1: Bit of action. It was all Star game, Harman. Did
3:13
Speaker 1: you stay awake. Did you see the Sandlota tribute?
3:16
Speaker 2: You know, I saw a lot of stuff on social
3:19
Speaker 2: media about it today, of which, by the way, yes,
3:22
Speaker 2: I was able to see again, which is nice because
3:24
Speaker 2: I'm back on Twitter.
3:25
Speaker 1: But I must have missed that.
3:26
Speaker 2: I must have been dozing in and out and I
3:28
Speaker 2: must have you know, had the sleep time around on
3:31
Speaker 2: the TV because I'm kind of dozing on. I must
3:33
Speaker 2: have missed that one somehow, and I'm all disappointed I did,
3:36
Speaker 2: because I would have liked to see that live.
3:37
Speaker 3: But Joe Davis teased it as I was going in
3:40
Speaker 3: and out on the audio onto the the second screen,
3:43
Speaker 3: and he said, we will have a special presentation coming
3:46
Speaker 3: up on the other side. And I'm like, all right, Joe,
3:50
Speaker 3: You're you're sending a radio teas into the sixth inning.
3:52
Speaker 3: I knew, I know the game slow.
3:54
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was that slow, but I was
3:57
Speaker 1: glad I saw it. Drew. I heard the song and
4:01
Speaker 1: immediately thought of the scene. It lasted.
4:03
Speaker 3: Now, maybe I'm going to be the bad guy here.
4:05
Speaker 3: It lasted like two minutes longer than I thought it
4:08
Speaker 3: was going.
4:08
Speaker 1: To But they uh five minutes, they went, They.
4:11
Speaker 3: Went full five minutes on it, and uh, they're getting
4:14
Speaker 3: a lot of reaction online for it, that's for sure.
4:17
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, a lot of love. It's cool.
4:19
Speaker 2: I think people a right in the fields, yes, I mean,
4:21
Speaker 2: and for a lot of us have a certain vintage.
4:23
Speaker 2: It was a great, obviously movie, and it was great
4:25
Speaker 2: because it represented what what our lives were like in
4:28
Speaker 2: an idyllic childhood, if you went out playing baseball and
4:31
Speaker 2: playing with your friends. And you know, I've talked about
4:33
Speaker 2: that a lot, but I will say one thing if
4:35
Speaker 2: you want to make it accurate. These kids riding bikes.
4:38
Speaker 2: I mean, Issu's giving them electric bikes now, because that
4:41
Speaker 2: probably riding bikes anymore.
4:43
Speaker 1: Billy, it's a riding bikes.
4:45
Speaker 3: Don't let your cynical ass at five oh five in
4:48
Speaker 3: the morning you not think that kids are riding bikes.
4:50
Speaker 1: You're you're pous. No, I'm not.
4:53
Speaker 3: Your two year old is gonna be riding a bike
4:55
Speaker 3: within the next year, and then an electric bike in
4:57
Speaker 3: five years.
4:58
Speaker 1: There's levels of this thing.
5:00
Speaker 3: You still got to learn how to ride the first
5:01
Speaker 3: one to be able to go to the mechanical bowl.
5:03
Speaker 3: You can't just step right up on the steel horse. No,
5:06
Speaker 3: you're right, and it was it was it was watching
5:08
Speaker 3: it back. It was super cool. It hits you right
5:10
Speaker 3: in the fields.
5:11
Speaker 2: We we do, we do need a little bit of
5:13
Speaker 2: the emotional tapestry woven in when we get when we
5:16
Speaker 2: think of baseball, right, it's it's our pastime. It's uh
5:20
Speaker 2: it connects our past to our president. It's our you know,
5:22
Speaker 2: it's this game of our youth in America.
5:25
Speaker 1: It's very you know.
5:26
Speaker 3: I don't know when uh yeah, Now they had the
5:29
Speaker 3: video of Ray singing in life.
5:30
Speaker 1: Was that that was in Seattle at an All Star game.
5:33
Speaker 3: It looked like it looked like Seattle or Arizona at
5:36
Speaker 3: the All Star Game, potentially for for Ray. When they
5:39
Speaker 3: they played the song of him singing it, it was
5:42
Speaker 3: incredible fireworks display. But I did find myself wondering as
5:46
Speaker 3: they zoomed in on Yamamoto. He's like, man, what the
5:50
Speaker 3: heck is going on here? I'd like it, it's cool, but
5:53
Speaker 3: I got no idea. There's a lot of players on
5:56
Speaker 3: the field. I can imagine Drew we're not familiar with,
6:00
Speaker 3: and Benny the Chet Rodriguez as much as the folks
6:03
Speaker 3: in the crowd, they're like, wait a second, I get it.
6:06
Speaker 3: But do I like what the players on the bench
6:08
Speaker 3: holding the sparklers. That was something I wasn't anticipating them
6:11
Speaker 3: being able to do. Get a bunch of Major League
6:13
Speaker 3: all starts to be able to hold a sparkler job?
6:15
Speaker 3: I want, just outside of the dugout, whose job was?
6:17
Speaker 3: That was the task?
6:18
Speaker 1: Everyone like, you're supposed to guys, guys supposed to hold
6:20
Speaker 1: his right?
6:20
Speaker 2: Now?
6:20
Speaker 1: What are you serious? Man?
6:21
Speaker 2: Like it?
6:23
Speaker 1: When the intern was a passage?
6:24
Speaker 3: Oh, there's a producer that with a big old headset
6:27
Speaker 3: on and she was running all over the place making
6:30
Speaker 3: sure that those guys were holding the sparkler I assume
6:33
Speaker 3: in the left hand at the right angle, making sure
6:35
Speaker 3: everybody was ready for the one shot.
6:37
Speaker 1: And you're and you're right, Billy.
6:38
Speaker 2: And we have to be realistic about this, and it
6:40
Speaker 2: might hurt a lot of us, but those of us
6:41
Speaker 2: that grew up with that movie or that feeling, none
6:44
Speaker 2: of us would be in MLB age now. I mean,
6:46
Speaker 2: everybody that's playing now has no idea what's going on.
6:50
Speaker 2: And none of them grew up with that unless they
6:51
Speaker 2: heard their dad's talking about it, or their older cousins
6:54
Speaker 2: or brothers maybe or siblings. But yeah, it still hit
6:58
Speaker 2: some of us in the right spot. But that's true.
7:00
Speaker 2: These the players are probably like, yeah, I've never seen
7:03
Speaker 2: this movie.
7:03
Speaker 1: What is this that we're doing. Yeah, you wonder about that,
7:06
Speaker 1: you wonder about that Black and White days for them
7:08
Speaker 1: minute we're burying the lead.
7:09
Speaker 4: Armand Sarian has his Twitter name back. He's regained his
7:13
Speaker 4: name and you can go find him at armand Sarian
7:17
Speaker 4: on the X.
7:17
Speaker 1: How does it feel good to be back?
7:20
Speaker 2: Much to my pleasant surprise, I was able to get
7:22
Speaker 2: the original username back and we were talking a lot
7:25
Speaker 2: about that.
7:26
Speaker 1: Guy's a little bit like what should my username?
7:28
Speaker 2: Man wouldn't be but not my original count So I
7:31
Speaker 2: feel like the new expansion Cleveland Browns, if that makes sense.
7:34
Speaker 3: That's a perfect example of it. Yes, Art Modell blew
7:38
Speaker 3: up your original account.
7:39
Speaker 1: Right he moved the team.
7:41
Speaker 2: All my history records and tradition and banners are with
7:44
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens right now, sort of like the current
7:47
Speaker 2: what is it the Drew the Baltimore Orioles were the
7:49
Speaker 2: nineteen oh one Brewers, I believe, like maybe yeah originally
7:53
Speaker 2: like so my my you know, original account is somewhat gone.
7:57
Speaker 1: But you didn't on the top of her American I
8:01
Speaker 1: don't know where they went.
8:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can see it on baseall reference. So
8:04
Speaker 2: sorry about that. Kind of an odd round. I'll stick
8:06
Speaker 2: with the Browns reference anyway. I'm the Expansion Cleveland Browns.
8:09
Speaker 2: I do have my original user name at armand Sorry,
8:14
Speaker 2: and go back and follow me.
8:16
Speaker 1: It is me.
8:17
Speaker 2: I did post a video. It is not AI that
8:19
Speaker 2: I posted, but the original account with all my old
8:24
Speaker 2: tweets and content and stuff like that and followers is
8:27
Speaker 2: gone to forever.
8:30
Speaker 1: It was.
8:31
Speaker 3: Let's not harp on the past. Let's worry about that.
8:32
Speaker 3: Let's worry about the good stuff.
8:33
Speaker 2: It was deleted, which might have been the best thing
8:35
Speaker 2: that ever happened, because because it was deleted and changed,
8:39
Speaker 2: I was able to the account name was available, So
8:42
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, well, this is kind of a
8:43
Speaker 2: pleasant surprise.
8:44
Speaker 1: I didn't know.
8:44
Speaker 3: Did you get like a notification allowing you to go
8:47
Speaker 3: and acquire it or did you just stumble upon it
8:49
Speaker 3: as you were trying to change your name from Arman
8:51
Speaker 3: Sorry in nineteen eighty four.
8:52
Speaker 2: No, so I it was like, yeah, armand Sorry in
8:55
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four is my temporary burner. I went to
8:58
Speaker 2: change it on the mobile and it wasn't like work,
9:00
Speaker 2: you know, like, all right, well maybe I'll try on
9:01
Speaker 2: a you know, desktop, a laptop and internet. And I
9:05
Speaker 2: had to keep yes, well that's what we got here,
9:07
Speaker 2: and I had to keep like putting in uh, you know,
9:11
Speaker 2: password changes, authentication. All of a sudden, the security is
9:14
Speaker 2: very good, which I appreciate. Didn't help me before then
9:17
Speaker 2: I realized, wait a minute, theyre letting me have the
9:18
Speaker 2: old account at armand Sorry, and so that was that
9:21
Speaker 2: was pretty exciting.
9:22
Speaker 1: And it won't let me.
9:23
Speaker 2: It won't let me follow more than like ten people
9:25
Speaker 2: at a time within like a ten minute frame. I
9:28
Speaker 2: guess that's like a security thing. So if you're out
9:30
Speaker 2: there and you're waiting for a file for me, just
9:32
Speaker 2: hang tight. I'll get everybody trying to trying to you know,
9:35
Speaker 2: he's a busy guy. I'll get around to it. Go
9:37
Speaker 2: to rebuild the account I got. I can only follow
9:38
Speaker 2: so many people at once. But it's good to have
9:41
Speaker 2: the name, the user name back. I was. I was
9:43
Speaker 2: settled into having to go with armand Sorry at Underscore
9:46
Speaker 2: or something like that, but I was pleasantly surprised to see,
9:49
Speaker 2: you know what, you can use this name again.
9:51
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, well I'll do it. So
9:53
Speaker 1: he's back. Maybe I'm back, and he's back for tortured takes.
9:57
Speaker 1: That's amazing.
9:58
Speaker 3: Just in time for football season, Drew Yes to let
10:00
Speaker 3: a lot of Bears fans get right into their feels
10:03
Speaker 3: talking a lot of trash about Kayla Williams. Just in
10:05
Speaker 3: time for Madden season with the cover athlete Kaylab Williams
10:08
Speaker 3: to come out stretch round of the Brewers. I don't
10:10
Speaker 3: know that it could have come at a better time,
10:13
Speaker 3: and even even moreover, just in time for you to
10:17
Speaker 3: get the final two pieces of this day five years
10:20
Speaker 3: ago for the Bucks championship and the videos and those
10:24
Speaker 3: emotional memories to flood back. Yeah, I would beg to
10:27
Speaker 3: argue Drew that this is the best moment that Armon
10:29
Speaker 3: could have possibly gotten his account back.
10:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is good timing.
10:33
Speaker 2: I will I will definitely say this is good timing
10:35
Speaker 2: because you're right, Billy, I don't have to search for
10:36
Speaker 2: some of those those great.
10:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, the game four on this day five years ago.
10:40
Speaker 3: Yesterday, ooh, and getting to see the sun block once
10:43
Speaker 3: again was just a beautiful, beautiful moment. Sounded a little different,
10:46
Speaker 3: felt a little different now, yeah, but still worked.
10:49
Speaker 2: Hurt said, it's five years. I cannot tell you. I
10:52
Speaker 2: know everyone feels differently about this. You guys have said it,
10:54
Speaker 2: but it doesn't feel that long ago to me. And
10:57
Speaker 2: maybe that's because I've kept that memory so cherished inside
10:59
Speaker 2: of my mind, into my heart and my DNA.
11:01
Speaker 1: But it just does not mind field five years. I
11:05
Speaker 1: don't know. It just a poster somewhere my heart, DNA. Okay,
11:13
Speaker 1: that sounds that. That sounds very Vince Lombardi.
11:16
Speaker 3: The things that you're gonna worry about, a god family
11:18
Speaker 3: and the Green Bay Packers, my heart, mind, my DNA NA,
11:22
Speaker 3: that's where I keep this team.
11:23
Speaker 1: It seems like a hundred years ago to me.
11:25
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny how that works, the time warp of time, because.
11:28
Speaker 1: It was sort of you know, and it was also
11:30
Speaker 1: that Monday, by the way, is our will be the
11:32
Speaker 1: one year university to celebrate without me, But Monday will
11:36
Speaker 1: be the five year anniversary of the Bucks winning the chap.
11:38
Speaker 2: We'll do it, We'll be will go, best memories, will go,
11:40
Speaker 2: best moment, We'll let people share. But the funny thing is, uh,
11:44
Speaker 2: it does also remind me how the calendar was pushed
11:46
Speaker 2: back that summer right because of.
11:48
Speaker 3: The totally and how beautiful that was for the NBA,
11:51
Speaker 3: it was, how beautiful it was.
11:52
Speaker 4: It was for the city of Milwaukee and for fans
11:55
Speaker 4: to gather in the Deer District kind of warm nights, like.
11:57
Speaker 3: You know, well, yeah, but I'm saying, like from the
12:00
Speaker 3: for having the full runway, having the World Cup calendar
12:04
Speaker 3: right now, where your whole playoffs and the best part
12:06
Speaker 3: of your playoffs was in a completely uninterrupted portion of
12:10
Speaker 3: the sports calendar.
12:11
Speaker 1: That was a beautiful thing.
12:12
Speaker 3: And then they messed it up and went right back
12:13
Speaker 3: to starting in the beginning of October, where that December
12:17
Speaker 3: first was a beautiful lead and a beautiful start. But
12:20
Speaker 3: it is nice because now all your all our memories
12:22
Speaker 3: are isolated. There's it's not clouded with a bunch of
12:25
Speaker 3: different ones. Instead, it's just you know, random MLB trades
12:28
Speaker 3: that leaked out a week and a half before the
12:30
Speaker 3: deadline on this day, a history moment, so you get
12:33
Speaker 3: to live those ones a little bit differently.
12:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a it's a little bit different. So yeah,
12:38
Speaker 4: it's a little dose of perspective. Another All Star game
12:40
Speaker 4: in the books. William Conturras hacked at three pitches.
12:43
Speaker 1: He was getting in and out of that thing real quick.
12:45
Speaker 1: Drew he was done.
12:46
Speaker 4: Miss did not play, but seemed to have a good time,
12:48
Speaker 4: got a lot of attention, got interviewed during the game.
12:51
Speaker 3: He even at the interview table before he's like, you know,
12:53
Speaker 3: this is kind of fun. I don't have to worry
12:55
Speaker 3: about pitching. Yeah, you know, I don't have to worry
12:57
Speaker 3: about star games. And the goal number one is just
13:00
Speaker 3: don't embarrass yourself.
13:00
Speaker 4: Don't do something, don't fall down, don't go up there
13:02
Speaker 4: with your zipper open, don't do anything to you know,
13:05
Speaker 4: to make be a meme.
13:06
Speaker 1: Don't have something breaking about you while you're on the mound.
13:08
Speaker 4: Nobody dreams about being the uh nobody dreams about being
13:11
Speaker 4: the hero of the alcer game. So just don't trip
13:14
Speaker 4: over the foul line when you're getting introduced.
13:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't do it.
13:18
Speaker 4: Just don't do anything to draw attenst yourself in a
13:20
Speaker 4: negative way, and you win because you can strike out.
13:23
Speaker 1: Hell, everybody struck. Everyone has to strike out, yeah, hundred percent,
13:25
Speaker 1: and do whatever.
13:26
Speaker 4: You can, even make an error, but just don't do
13:28
Speaker 4: anything like really really, you know, egregious and well. Junior
13:33
Speaker 4: Cammon Arrow got hit, and that scared a lot of people.
13:36
Speaker 3: I was going to say, the worst thing was a
13:38
Speaker 3: man O'Brien from the Cardinals going high and inside on
13:40
Speaker 3: Cammon Arrow.
13:41
Speaker 1: Gammon Arrow gets hit.
13:42
Speaker 4: Then he looks like he's gonna be okay, But that
13:45
Speaker 4: would be awful break a bone in your hand in
13:47
Speaker 4: the Alcar game. But the pitching dominated, which is the
13:49
Speaker 4: state of modern baseball. That line, you know, a game
13:53
Speaker 4: like that, how many games, how many nights of the
13:55
Speaker 4: Brewers pictures had now and the Brewers have never had
13:58
Speaker 4: ten different pictures strike out at won batter in a
14:00
Speaker 4: nine any game because the only other time that's happened
14:02
Speaker 4: is in an All Star game a while bo.
14:04
Speaker 1: Sure, but you have ten different.
14:06
Speaker 4: Pitchers, everybody strikes one out and that's crazy. But yeah,
14:12
Speaker 4: arming to your point, it's like, do you like defensive football,
14:14
Speaker 4: because that's the state of the game today is all
14:16
Speaker 4: about pitching.
14:17
Speaker 1: Now.
14:17
Speaker 4: The American League is the league that where the teams
14:20
Speaker 4: can't win and they only have a couple of teams
14:21
Speaker 4: with winning.
14:21
Speaker 1: Records, and yet their pitching shoved.
14:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, and as great as the pitching was across the board,
14:26
Speaker 4: with twenty seven combined strikeouts, there's like eight or nine
14:29
Speaker 4: top pitchers who didn't take a part, including Mizzen, Schemes
14:31
Speaker 4: and Otani, and like, it's ridiculous all the guys who
14:34
Speaker 4: were ineligible and Wheeler and guys who chose not to go.
14:37
Speaker 3: I was gonna say the guys that chose not to go,
14:39
Speaker 3: the ones that decided it was the rest better.
14:41
Speaker 1: So it is.
14:42
Speaker 4: It's a reminder, like, hey, the All Star Game is
14:44
Speaker 4: a it's an amalgamation. It's a It's a gathering of
14:48
Speaker 4: the best hitters in the world who then have to
14:50
Speaker 4: face the best pitchers in the world.
14:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, who are now in a world of and in
14:54
Speaker 3: the world a pitch clock drew where you're not necessarily
14:57
Speaker 3: allowed to just tune up your best stuff every single pitch.
15:01
Speaker 3: The starters like uh Waka and Ryan Joe Ryan hopefully
15:06
Speaker 3: soon to be future Milwaukee Brewer through sixteen pitches, twelve
15:09
Speaker 3: strikes and my man got in and out. You can
15:11
Speaker 3: dial up your best stuff. Granted, you're basically throwing your
15:14
Speaker 3: bullpen in the middle of your your work week, right
15:17
Speaker 3: to keep yourself loose for once you return to the team,
15:20
Speaker 3: but you're able to unload your best bullets.
15:22
Speaker 1: That's a dangerous thing for hitters to have to have.
15:25
Speaker 1: Eight and a half was.
15:26
Speaker 3: The number at the Potawatami Sportsbook for total runs yesterday.
15:29
Speaker 3: After the first three outs, like, holy cop, it's gonna
15:32
Speaker 3: be a great night. Instead, it was all silence from
15:36
Speaker 3: there and Sanchez who gets to start the All Star
15:39
Speaker 3: Game in front of the home crowd. I don't necessarily
15:42
Speaker 3: even know that it was nerves. His putaway pitches just weren't.
15:45
Speaker 3: He wasn't able to get anybody out.
15:47
Speaker 1: He had.
15:50
Speaker 3: Went two goes to three to two walks him and
15:53
Speaker 3: then quickly back to back base hits and the game
15:55
Speaker 3: was basically over.
15:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty crazy that way, with just the
16:00
Speaker 1: whole night. I mean, it was a show about nothing.
16:03
Speaker 4: You can bitch about it, but it's a reminder of
16:05
Speaker 4: how hard it is to hit a baseball when you're
16:07
Speaker 4: facing the best guys who guess it up for just
16:09
Speaker 4: one hitting like I got fifteen pitches, I'm gonna go
16:11
Speaker 4: throw everything I got.
16:13
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's basically what story I think.
16:15
Speaker 3: And I think the funniest part is there is a
16:17
Speaker 3: little bit, Like you said, you can bitch about it,
16:19
Speaker 3: I generally.
16:21
Speaker 1: Generally and genuinely believe.
16:25
Speaker 3: People have to gas themselves up to be upset about
16:27
Speaker 3: All Star games, right, like the NBA All Star Game.
16:29
Speaker 3: You're choosing to watch that to then make yourself upset
16:32
Speaker 3: if it's not the same as it was in nineteen
16:34
Speaker 3: eighty six, nineteen eighty five. This one, people, those people
16:37
Speaker 3: are mad. In the Pro Bowl, no one tries, No
16:40
Speaker 3: one tries. In the NBA All Star Game?
16:41
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? NHL all starry three on three,
16:43
Speaker 1: the same real.
16:44
Speaker 3: Hockey, this one. You're almost upset that they try so hard,
16:47
Speaker 3: to try too hard, they try too hard, and that
16:49
Speaker 3: they're too good and the game wasn't as competitive.
16:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, so in that sense, you would have no grounds
16:54
Speaker 2: to complain. I mean in that sense, I mean you can.
16:56
Speaker 2: You could say you wish you had more of an
16:58
Speaker 2: offensive game, but you can't complain about effort things like that.
17:00
Speaker 1: Guys.
17:01
Speaker 2: Clearly, I mean it clearly tried. I mean, you don't
17:04
Speaker 2: get fifteen strike CAUs as a team without trying to
17:06
Speaker 2: throw hard. So I agree, Billy, and that probably is
17:09
Speaker 2: further approved that this is still the best iteration of
17:11
Speaker 2: the All Star Game.
17:12
Speaker 1: Guys miked up. How'd you feel about it?
17:14
Speaker 2: Guy?
17:14
Speaker 1: I kind of enjoyed.
17:15
Speaker 2: Harper was funny. I thought when he was miked up, Yeah,
17:18
Speaker 2: this guy's nasty. We'll see what happens.
17:20
Speaker 3: So I'm usually more positive on the player interviews than most.
17:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought the coolest one.
17:25
Speaker 3: Now, the difficult one is you couldn't hear Langleirs underneath
17:28
Speaker 3: the mask in the first inning when him and Cease
17:31
Speaker 3: were miked up for their first inning. But when Dylan
17:33
Speaker 3: Cease is putting the glove over the mouth and telling
17:35
Speaker 3: you what pitch he's about to throw, and then Kate's
17:39
Speaker 3: Kates upon Soto on the fastball low and outside, that
17:43
Speaker 3: was sweet.
17:44
Speaker 1: That is about as cool as the content can get.
17:46
Speaker 2: I do think it is kind of funny that, you know,
17:48
Speaker 2: I guess it's just reaction or instinct to cover your
17:51
Speaker 2: mouth up, but it's like, you know, you don't have
17:53
Speaker 2: to like cover it up. You're about to tell everybody,
17:56
Speaker 2: like it doesn't matter if people read your lips here.
17:58
Speaker 1: Like, is that what?
17:58
Speaker 3: The The only guy that matters if he reads the
18:00
Speaker 3: lips is the one in the batters box.
18:02
Speaker 2: Sure, but yeah, I guess you're right because he's not
18:04
Speaker 2: listening to the broadcast.
18:05
Speaker 1: But it's just kind of it was just that would.
18:08
Speaker 3: Be chess, not checkers if Jan Soda went up there
18:10
Speaker 3: with a direct feed to the box.
18:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was also the pitch that was coming up.
18:15
Speaker 2: I just and I think there are a lot of
18:17
Speaker 2: it is it's just cool now to do that. It's instinct,
18:19
Speaker 2: like it just feels cool to cover your mouth up
18:21
Speaker 2: and trying to But you're right, you know, with all
18:23
Speaker 2: the John Boys of the world now, you have to
18:25
Speaker 2: be more and more careful these days. So yeah, I
18:28
Speaker 2: thought that was a fun I thought Bryce Harper was funny.
18:30
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that interaction during that bad so you know,
18:33
Speaker 2: it was a nice twist.
18:34
Speaker 1: I generally don't like full.
18:36
Speaker 2: Interviews during the game, but if it's an all star game,
18:39
Speaker 2: that's that's cool.
18:40
Speaker 3: They were definitely not anticipating Drew that that Miss Verlander
18:44
Speaker 3: and Cam Schlitzler, right, it was those three that were
18:48
Speaker 3: on the micro front at the same time. They definitely
18:50
Speaker 3: weren't anticipating that first inning to be the the Matt
18:53
Speaker 3: Arnold Special. No, all of a sudden, ten pitches, seven
18:56
Speaker 3: strikes happening over, They're like, hey, we're gonna have to
18:58
Speaker 3: hold you guys over. We're gonna need one more session
19:03
Speaker 3: of three outs. Then the next half in and goes
19:05
Speaker 3: six pitches, five strikes, and you're out of the inning,
19:08
Speaker 3: and they're sweet.
19:09
Speaker 1: That was an easy tip of the cap.
19:11
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it, and now let's enjoy getting back to
19:14
Speaker 3: standing here and watching. I do wish somehow they would
19:17
Speaker 3: have been able to get Verlander out there. Obviously he's
19:20
Speaker 3: injured or working himself back, so it wasn't gonna work.
19:23
Speaker 3: I thought Schneider did the best job, though, Drew, of
19:25
Speaker 3: everybody gets in and out. I mean even at the
19:27
Speaker 3: back end. He's like, I gotta get Rasmussen in. I
19:29
Speaker 3: want to get Lats in, I want to get Chapman in.
19:31
Speaker 3: He let everybody unload a bullet and get the tip
19:34
Speaker 3: of the cap. Where if you're gonna have everybody on
19:37
Speaker 3: the team, everybody might as well play. If you're able
19:41
Speaker 3: to do it, everybody's there, and everybody's got to have
19:43
Speaker 3: a representative. Every team might as well get the representative
19:46
Speaker 3: in the game. Maybe feel nice, you know, for the
19:48
Speaker 3: moments we waited for Dan coleb Yes to get himself
19:52
Speaker 3: in there and all this no that goes.
19:54
Speaker 1: He was sitting in the in the bullpen. He wasn't
19:56
Speaker 1: moving small thumbs up, thumbs down. What'd you guys think
19:58
Speaker 1: in general of Smolty.
20:00
Speaker 4: I don't mind him, but yeah, I'm not not the
20:04
Speaker 4: I'm not on his fan club.
20:06
Speaker 3: I'm too big of a fan of Joe Davis, so
20:08
Speaker 3: like not not like the broadcast.
20:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he's kinda I'm kind of agnostic.
20:12
Speaker 2: Had a weird moment I think Doug tweeted, but I
20:14
Speaker 2: had a weird moment that he mentioned the Cubs with
20:17
Speaker 2: the PCAs like, you guys are at the top of
20:18
Speaker 2: the standings.
20:19
Speaker 1: I'm like, you're not, like they got little wildcard standing. Yeah.
20:22
Speaker 2: I guess that's a good point, Billy. A wildcard depends
20:25
Speaker 2: what standings. That's all you look at life, right.
20:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's all about the prison that you're viewing something through.
20:30
Speaker 1: What a classic?
20:31
Speaker 3: All right?
20:31
Speaker 4: We are often running shooting shirts titles. That's all they did.
20:35
Speaker 4: Sure we got one for you, there was. I guess
20:38
Speaker 4: if there's a negative aspect to the All Star Game
20:41
Speaker 4: for the Bridge, you kind of got to look for it.
20:43
Speaker 4: You kind of got to get out the telescope. But
20:45
Speaker 4: we can find it. I'm ready for about that. Next
20:47

Speaker 2: which we like. Paul from Kenosha, Good morning everybody, Thanks
21:47
Speaker 2: for checking in guys.
21:48
Speaker 4: All right, so we mentioned the All Star Game not
21:51
Speaker 4: a lot of brush representation. Last night they interviewed mis
21:54
Speaker 4: Contreus had a three pitch at bat made it out.
21:57
Speaker 1: There were a lot of outs. Madet least he didn't
21:58
Speaker 1: punch out like everybody else. A lot of outs. Man.
22:01
Speaker 4: But if you're looking for a negative, if you wanna,
22:03
Speaker 4: if you prefer that side, if you see the glass
22:06
Speaker 4: half empty and fetishize it, if you're the if you're
22:09
Speaker 4: one of the you know, nattering nabobs of negativism, if
22:13
Speaker 4: you're that right, if you're mister Happy, if you're BJ
22:16
Speaker 4: sir off. There was an All Star connection that might
22:20
Speaker 4: make you mad. And this I'm looking at squarely at
22:23
Speaker 4: David gasper.
22:24
Speaker 1: Ooh okay, sure this is this excites me. Yep, poor Dave.
22:29
Speaker 1: Because one of the representatives of the American League in
22:34
Speaker 1: the Chicago White Sox was Tristan Peters.
22:37
Speaker 3: Which I can I'll hand raise an air and Drew
22:40
Speaker 3: I was unfamiliar with his UH connection in that game.
22:43
Speaker 3: I was unfamiliar with that. With that acquir and send out.
22:47
Speaker 4: Tristan Peters is a rookie for the UH, for the
22:49
Speaker 4: White Sox, deserving All Star.
22:51
Speaker 1: He's put up some good numbers this year.
22:53
Speaker 4: He was once a Brewer, drafted by the Brewers a
22:56
Speaker 4: seventh round pick in twenty twenty one, and he was
23:00
Speaker 4: part of the final trade that David Stearns made as
23:03
Speaker 4: general manager of the Brewers when needing an arm, he
23:08
Speaker 4: traded an a ball, not even really a prospect, seventh
23:11
Speaker 4: round pick, but like guy that was like, ah, he's
23:13
Speaker 4: gonna be.
23:13
Speaker 1: An organizational player. We don't know if he's going to
23:15
Speaker 1: be any good or not.
23:16
Speaker 4: They traded an outfielder for Trevor Rosenthal, and they wanted
23:20
Speaker 4: that arm. And Trevor Rosenthal with the Giants was recovering
23:23
Speaker 4: from thoracic outlet syndrome and hip surgery, and he had
23:27
Speaker 4: strained his hamstring during a throwing program before the trade
23:30
Speaker 4: and then got to the Brewers and pitching on a
23:32
Speaker 4: rehab assignment and he suffered a.
23:33
Speaker 1: Lat strain and he never threw a pitch for the Brewers.
23:37
Speaker 3: And it was the response the day after crab if
23:40
Speaker 3: I'm wrong of them making the Josh Hater deal.
23:43
Speaker 1: So it's like, don't worry, we're still adding. We just
23:45
Speaker 1: grabbed him. He's pitching maybe at some point.
23:50
Speaker 4: So now after the trade, Kristan Peters went to the
23:54
Speaker 4: minor leagues with the Giants, and he hit two twelve
23:57
Speaker 4: the rest of the season, kind of like fish out
23:59
Speaker 4: of water, and then they traded him Tampa. Well, Tampa
24:02
Speaker 4: knows what they're doing with player development, right and okay, yep, Well,
24:05
Speaker 4: he spent all of twenty twenty four at Triple A
24:07
Speaker 4: and then nearly all of twenty twenty five, and then
24:11
Speaker 4: the Race finally called him up at last season and
24:14
Speaker 4: he went over twelve and the Rays, who know their
24:18
Speaker 4: way around player development, had a forty man logjam, and
24:22
Speaker 4: they designated him for assignment and they sent him to
24:25
Speaker 4: the White Sox for cash.
24:28
Speaker 1: So the Rays didn't passed on him too.
24:30
Speaker 3: That makes me feel a little bit better in this
24:32
Speaker 3: in this winding.
24:33
Speaker 4: Tale, Okay, this is the guy who spent some time
24:35
Speaker 4: playing for the Savannah Bananas as well. The story one
24:39
Speaker 4: right and listen, we've been He didn't even think he'd
24:42
Speaker 4: make the team out of spring training, but now he's
24:44
Speaker 4: hitting three oh one in his ops is eight thirty two.
24:47
Speaker 4: He hit for the cycle over the weekend. Nobody knew
24:51
Speaker 4: he was going to be this good and be an
24:53
Speaker 4: All Star, and he deserved it. But there are some
24:57
Speaker 4: burs fans and again our former teammate David gass Verus
25:00
Speaker 4: spinning this like this is a whole. I think what
25:02
Speaker 4: happened was Gasper hated at a time because he loves
25:04
Speaker 4: those prospects. He loves this guy a ball that I've
25:09
Speaker 4: been monitoring and he's probably watched. And the crazy thing
25:12
Speaker 4: history he probably had watched at bats of this guy,
25:15
Speaker 4: and I'm like, I don't even know how you can
25:17
Speaker 4: even though put your eyes on that greeny footage. This
25:21
Speaker 4: is the guy who played with the Timber Rattlers in
25:22
Speaker 4: twenty twenty two alongside Jackson Tario and South Freelick, and
25:25
Speaker 4: he made the All Star Game.
25:27
Speaker 2: And he's the All Star I think, I I mean,
25:30
Speaker 2: I could say this, I think I'd rather have Jackson,
25:33
Speaker 2: like I think this guy's having a nice first half.
25:35
Speaker 2: Who knows if it's sustainable, but sometimes you will be
25:38
Speaker 2: on the other side of it.
25:38
Speaker 1: We've been there and that's the thing. It's like, please
25:41
Speaker 1: prepare yourself.
25:42
Speaker 4: And there are folks trying to make this like he's
25:44
Speaker 4: he's the next Nelson.
25:45
Speaker 1: Cruise, which probably the number eight the A plus example, right.
25:49
Speaker 4: Nelson Cruise was the guy that the Brewers had in
25:51
Speaker 4: the two thousands, early two thousand and two thousand and
25:54
Speaker 4: five was his one season with the Brewers in the
25:56
Speaker 4: big leagues. And then they traded him with Carlos Lee
25:59
Speaker 4: and they Francisco Cordero, Lance Knicks, Kevin Mens Shield between,
26:03
Speaker 4: Doug Melvin peeled him off and sent him there. And
26:06
Speaker 4: the thing was that I remember at the time. Now,
26:08
Speaker 4: Nelson Cruse went on to have a pretty good career,
26:11
Speaker 4: Oh for sure, clouded a little bit by performance and hansion,
26:13
Speaker 4: but they ended a number of different teams played around.
26:16
Speaker 4: We were talking about BJ Surf too. He played nineteen
26:18
Speaker 4: seasons and.
26:19
Speaker 2: I think he would be our all time home run
26:20
Speaker 2: leader as a franchise, Nelson.
26:22
Speaker 4: Nelson Cruise had four hundred and sixty four homes.
26:25
Speaker 1: Never mind easily. I didn't know.
26:28
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, totally. I thought it was like he was
26:30
Speaker 3: a big hit. Yeah, he was a big hired gun
26:32
Speaker 3: to a big hired gun. I played in Seattle, Texas.
26:35
Speaker 3: I played with the.
26:36
Speaker 4: Twins, Washington, finished with San Diego, so he played with
26:41
Speaker 4: a bunch of teams.
26:42
Speaker 1: He played till he was forty two, and it was
26:45
Speaker 1: like a DH two.
26:46
Speaker 4: But I remember watching the guy and I'm like, I
26:48
Speaker 4: don't think this guy's ever going to hit a breaking ball.
26:49
Speaker 4: It's like he looks like he's got some good tools,
26:51
Speaker 4: but boy he locked it in and you know the
26:54
Speaker 4: juice and the stereos, but that might have helped.
26:56
Speaker 1: He's he's regarded as the one that got away and
26:58
Speaker 1: what happened, and this is always what happens.
27:00
Speaker 4: Like, look Tampa Bay, Kristin Peters, they designated for assignment,
27:04
Speaker 4: Bruce could have gone and got him. Uh, when the
27:06
Speaker 4: Brewers sent him to Texas. The year after they sent
27:08
Speaker 4: him to Texas, he was like twenty four mid twenty
27:11
Speaker 4: twenty four twenty five, the Rangers like took him off
27:15
Speaker 4: the forty man.
27:17
Speaker 3: And nobody had end up claiming him claimed him, and
27:19
Speaker 3: then he worked his way back on.
27:22
Speaker 4: He worked his way back on to the forty man,
27:24
Speaker 4: and Doug Mall was like, yeah, it wasn't bad that
27:26
Speaker 4: we traded him, but we had a chance to get
27:28
Speaker 4: him back and it would have been like not giving
27:29
Speaker 4: him up and we should have, you know, sure.
27:31
Speaker 1: That was the one that they should have put claim.
27:33
Speaker 4: So that's the thing is like trading him in the aggregate,
27:36
Speaker 4: like trading him for Trevor Roosevelt. Even though Rosenhald ended
27:39
Speaker 4: up not throwing a pitch, that's not the worst move.
27:41
Speaker 4: Trading a guy that he might be something we don't know,
27:44
Speaker 4: and you throw him in like you send him out,
27:46
Speaker 4: and then he does nothing for the Giants his original
27:48
Speaker 4: organization out Tampa yet. But they had a chance to
27:51
Speaker 4: reget it, for sure, but they didn't. And they've moved on,
27:54
Speaker 4: and they had Freelick in Churio and like they didn't.
27:56
Speaker 3: They got a lot of guys in minor league spots
27:58
Speaker 3: and that this guy probably wasn't. So he's on your
28:01
Speaker 3: Nashville route.
28:02
Speaker 4: If you want to be like, oh that Sterns what
28:04
Speaker 4: a stupid move, Well, yeah, in retrospect and there's a
28:07
Speaker 4: guy who's an All star and here's a guy but
28:09
Speaker 4: he took a swing on Trevor Rosenthal and you're right,
28:11
Speaker 4: you had just trade a hater.
28:12
Speaker 1: You needed arms and at the time it was a
28:13
Speaker 1: low cost.
28:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, guy who you don't know is ever gonna hit
28:16
Speaker 4: and get even make it to Triple A.
28:18
Speaker 1: I can't hate this deal.
28:20
Speaker 4: David Gasper does stuff like this happens like Okay, it's
28:22
Speaker 4: like yeah, and if you if you screamed about it
28:25
Speaker 4: at the time.
28:26
Speaker 1: I guess you can speke the ball and say told you,
28:28
Speaker 1: told you so.
28:29
Speaker 3: I don't even and and I think the other part
28:31
Speaker 3: of why it's so forgettable, Drew, is because it was
28:33
Speaker 3: such a forgettable deal in that week because nobody, nobody
28:37
Speaker 3: thought about it. The only conversation for the next two
28:39
Speaker 3: and a half weeks was the fact that you shipped
28:41
Speaker 3: off Josh Hater and that you were trying to trying
28:44
Speaker 3: to backpedal your way out of that mistake or lack
28:47
Speaker 3: their of a mistake, but of the you know, blow
28:49
Speaker 3: up in the clubhouse that you had as a first place.
28:51
Speaker 1: Which fan base should be more upset, like the Giants
28:54
Speaker 1: for not keeping him, or the Race for not keeping him,
28:56
Speaker 1: or the Brewers for not keeping.
28:57
Speaker 2: I would say it's the race because you're supposed to spend.
29:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're also I mean, like, if we're gonna
29:03
Speaker 3: make the same thing of well, what would if he
29:06
Speaker 3: was on their team, what would have happened? Oh, they
29:08
Speaker 3: would be in first place, just like the Rays are
29:11
Speaker 3: in first place, just like the Brewers.
29:12
Speaker 1: Uh.
29:12
Speaker 3: I think if you're anybody, you're you're upset about a
29:15
Speaker 3: lot of things. As a Giant, Yeah, maybe Yeah, the Giants.
29:17
Speaker 3: I guess the lesson here is nobody should be upset.
29:19
Speaker 3: This is the way it's supposed to work. Instead, maybe
29:21
Speaker 3: celebrate the young man like it's an incredible, incredible story
29:25
Speaker 3: and like you said, I mean the bananas, the the
29:27
Speaker 3: addition of the Savannah Banana's logo on his jacket, with
29:30
Speaker 3: his young family. Uh, it's it's an incredible story of perseveres.
29:34
Speaker 3: More than anything, It's another one of these stories for
29:38
Speaker 3: the biggest surprise, not not Tristan Peters in Major League Baseball,
29:41
Speaker 3: but it's the Chicago White Sox, right, I mean, like
29:44
Speaker 3: they are in and Vargas goes yard last night. He's
29:46
Speaker 3: been phenomenal and he was really good when he was
29:48
Speaker 3: on the MLB Central Show a couple of weeks ago.
29:51
Speaker 3: But that to me is the bigger one of damn
29:55
Speaker 3: Chris Getzon company.
29:56
Speaker 1: They're in Chicago.
29:57
Speaker 3: It figured something out and they were clowning when they
29:59
Speaker 3: hired him as the lead baseball guy. And all of
30:02
Speaker 3: a sudden, everything that he's touched in the last ten
30:05
Speaker 3: or eleven months has turned to gold. He will have
30:07
Speaker 3: that moment too, David Stearns. Otherwise, before it was the
30:09
Speaker 3: Trevor Rosenthal. You know, people that would dismiss some of
30:12
Speaker 3: the great things he did, like myself, would have to
30:14
Speaker 3: bring up to Jonathan scope One. I appreciate Tristan Peters
30:18
Speaker 3: coming to the limelight because now we could throw that
30:19
Speaker 3: one in there and maybe you just leave this story
30:23
Speaker 3: at the feet of like Mets fans right now. Yeah,
30:26
Speaker 3: and then we do like what you used to when
30:28
Speaker 3: you have the you know, bag of dog stuff and
30:31
Speaker 3: then you'd light it on fire and leave it on
30:32
Speaker 3: the neighbor's porch and ringing the doorbell. Now you just
30:34
Speaker 3: go and sit and watch them try to stomp it
30:36
Speaker 3: out and stomp on David Stearns while they get some
30:39
Speaker 3: news of this trade. Yeah, that shit been part of
30:41
Speaker 3: the Sandlot video because that's what kids really did in
30:43
Speaker 3: the summer.
30:43
Speaker 2: You know.
30:43
Speaker 1: I mean, but now we're in cams kill. That begging
30:45
Speaker 1: was a real thing.
30:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, the reality is, I mean, these things are going
30:50
Speaker 2: to happen if you are trying to use prospects to
30:53
Speaker 2: acquire talent. And that's okay, that's the way it's supposed
30:56
Speaker 2: to work. You will never ever bat a thousand, You
30:58
Speaker 2: will never be perfect in the you can you can
31:01
Speaker 2: be as good as you can realistically be. And I
31:03
Speaker 2: think the Brewers have been in a lot of their transactions,
31:05
Speaker 2: and still, you know, that's always going to be the
31:07
Speaker 2: fear of the end, that Dave. You know, we're singling
31:10
Speaker 2: out Dave because he's a prospect hugger. The Dave Gaspers
31:12
Speaker 2: of the world will always love the old Fairy Rodriguez good,
31:16
Speaker 2: you know, dropped over dead when Yeah, And the reality
31:20
Speaker 2: is that worked out very well for the short being,
31:23
Speaker 2: for the short time.
31:24
Speaker 1: Last year worked out well well. We don't know. Maybe
31:27
Speaker 1: you Fairy will be the Hall of.
31:28
Speaker 2: Famer one day, But that's always the risk you run
31:30
Speaker 2: when you trade it prospect, even if it's a low
31:32
Speaker 2: level one. And the reality is that's the way it
31:34
Speaker 2: should work, or else you're never going to be able
31:36
Speaker 2: to get anything back if you don't give anything of
31:38
Speaker 2: any value, If you don't give every now and then
31:41
Speaker 2: a player will turn out to be good. And that's
31:43
Speaker 2: just the way it has to happen. It doesn't mean
31:45
Speaker 2: you're doing a bad job. It means you operated with
31:47
Speaker 2: the best thought process you did you did at the time,
31:50
Speaker 2: and if it helps your team at that time, it
31:53
Speaker 2: doesn't mean it was bad just because the other player
31:55
Speaker 2: turned out.
31:55
Speaker 1: But you do have to go in there.
31:57
Speaker 3: You can't always just say while it was good at
31:58
Speaker 3: the time, because I don't I don't know. Was the
32:00
Speaker 3: Fernando Tatist junior miss on mathematics good at the time
32:04
Speaker 3: when they traded when the White Sox traded him for
32:05
Speaker 3: James Shield.
32:06
Speaker 2: No, you will miss you will miss on some some
32:08
Speaker 2: will be better or worse. Some decisions will we looked
32:10
Speaker 2: at better than worse.
32:11
Speaker 4: The old timer for this was the Red Sox and Astros.
32:16
Speaker 4: At the deadline, the second deadline up August thirtieth, nineteen ninety,
32:21
Speaker 4: Boston sent a twenty two year old double a third
32:24
Speaker 4: base prospect, Jeff Bagwell.
32:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bagwell right to Boston for thirty seven year old
32:29
Speaker 1: reliever Larry Anderson, Larry tough one.
32:32
Speaker 2: And that's always yea to be the caution the while
32:36
Speaker 2: of saying, don't fall in love with what we need
32:38
Speaker 2: a reliever, we need to start.
32:39
Speaker 4: Larry Anderson pitch well for them, and they clinched the
32:41
Speaker 4: East that year, so it kind of worked, and then
32:43
Speaker 4: Bagwell went on to be a Hall of Famer. We
32:45
Speaker 4: moved into first base and he played it his way.
32:47
Speaker 4: To Cooperstown over the next fifteen.
32:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gala wanted Jordan Alvare has traded from the Dodgers
32:52
Speaker 3: for a reliever that doesn't even make the playoff roster.
32:54
Speaker 4: By the way, Bagwell had four hundred and forty nine homers,
32:57
Speaker 4: and that's like Nelson Cruz territory.
32:59
Speaker 3: He Jeff Bagwell also had one of the best and
33:04
Speaker 3: easiest to mimic batting stances of all. Oh yeah, right,
33:08
Speaker 3: Like I mean that big squat was definitely one of
33:10
Speaker 3: the most fun while you're playing wiffleball in the backyard
33:13
Speaker 3: to try to imitate like you're like you were playing
33:15
Speaker 3: ass him a council right or maybe you.
33:17
Speaker 1: Know the councils was definitely there. That's up there.
33:20
Speaker 2: But the thing is this, you will always run this
33:22
Speaker 2: risk in that sense, and that's that's the way it's
33:25
Speaker 2: gonna work. So you you you have to hope that well,
33:28
Speaker 2: you're never going to bat a thousand on it. You
33:31
Speaker 2: hope to do much better than worse. And the Brewers
33:33
Speaker 2: have done that more than anybody else.
33:34
Speaker 4: Will prepare yourselves because the Brewers might trade a guy
33:37
Speaker 4: in the coming weeks who goes on to have a
33:38
Speaker 4: great career it's a cost of doing business, yes, And.
33:40
Speaker 2: If you fear him, you'll never make the trades that
33:42
Speaker 2: we've been talking about for a week. The Brewers should
33:45
Speaker 2: make is like, well, you need to get a starter
33:47
Speaker 2: if you're serious.
33:48
Speaker 4: Now you could say you can if you do a
33:51
Speaker 4: deep enough dive. As great as C. C was, Michael
33:54
Speaker 4: Brantley played pretty well in Cleveland. Headed Now, Laporta was
33:58
Speaker 4: like the centerpiece of that trade and Brandley was another guy,
34:00
Speaker 4: but he ended up being really good and making an
34:02
Speaker 4: All Star Game and playing well for Cleveland.
34:05
Speaker 2: And raise your head if you don't think that was
34:06
Speaker 2: worth it, Like come on, of course, anybody would have
34:09
Speaker 2: said that Laporta could have been a Hall of Famer
34:11
Speaker 2: and that one was, Yeah, that's the way, the granky
34:13
Speaker 2: one worth it.
34:13
Speaker 1: Laporta was supposed to be. I do think Chris Fielders
34:16
Speaker 1: replaced it was an ideal, But we made a run
34:19
Speaker 1: at the.
34:20
Speaker 3: Granky trade was absolutely you know, because I mean then
34:22
Speaker 3: they go on and win the World Series with three
34:24
Speaker 3: or four of the main pieces that you had right
34:26
Speaker 3: there in the eddle of it like that. That one,
34:28
Speaker 3: to me is also where you see a core amount
34:31
Speaker 3: of pieces go somewhere and then you know, Kane comes
34:34
Speaker 3: back and ends up being a big piece for you,
34:36
Speaker 3: like Justin and Jacksonville said, hey, Nelson Cruz, he was
34:39
Speaker 3: also great for the Orioles in twenty fourteen. Then they
34:43
Speaker 3: let him walk and signed Chris Davis. All right, so
34:46
Speaker 3: that might be the worst one. That might be even
34:48
Speaker 3: worse because then they got Chris Davis. They allowed him
34:51
Speaker 3: to have a Chris Carter number thirty three for your
34:53
Speaker 3: Milwaukee Brewers type year and then give him what one
34:56
Speaker 3: hundred and seventeen million crusher.
34:59
Speaker 2: Couldn't get a job at Arsities wild that still wild right,
35:03
Speaker 2: well with small deal.
35:05
Speaker 1: With the Yankees for one year.
35:06
Speaker 4: But yeah, so Tristan Pearce just tip your caps business.
35:09
Speaker 4: And nobody committed malpractice by trading an a ball guy
35:12
Speaker 4: who then was drizzled through two other organizations before he
35:16
Speaker 4: made me before he cashed in.
35:18
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say it, performance is nonlinear. We still
35:20
Speaker 2: don't know how good this kid's gonna be. We know
35:22
Speaker 2: he had a good first half of a year. Okay,
35:24
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna it's not that I'm cheering against him,
35:26
Speaker 2: but we don't really know.
35:27
Speaker 3: Now you are, though, now that this is on your radar.
35:29
Speaker 3: You will be well cheering against him in your white soxe.
35:33
Speaker 2: They lit me up for saying I was cheering against
35:34
Speaker 2: your Ferry Rodriguez the rest of his career because I
35:36
Speaker 2: wanted us to be on the right side of the trade.
35:38
Speaker 1: I got lit up for it. Oh, gidea up all right?
35:40
Speaker 1: Still well, we are off and running.
35:42
Speaker 4: We're gonna fire up the hot take hump day Oven.
35:45

36:47
Speaker 3: appreciating Jeremy Fowler deciding to write the UH top ten
36:52
Speaker 3: list at every position. He's the I hear him on
36:56
Speaker 3: every show I tune in Captain All Star Break. At
36:58
Speaker 3: this point, you can come up with something like that.
37:01
Speaker 3: That's that strategic planning and very well timed.
37:05
Speaker 1: I would since we're in the prediction market.
37:07
Speaker 4: We're not Calci or probably market, but we once in
37:09
Speaker 4: a while throw predictions. We did say that later, we
37:12
Speaker 4: did say that this was gonna be Lebrona palooza. Yeah,
37:16
Speaker 4: Rich Paul looking at the counter. Now, what if it
37:18
Speaker 4: broke during the SP's.
37:20
Speaker 1: Oh, they would love that one up everybody.
37:23
Speaker 3: Now, there's got to be a contractual deal with ESPN.
37:25
Speaker 3: Can't can't take away from their big special night. I
37:27
Speaker 3: thought the crazy one for me, Drew was gonna be
37:32
Speaker 3: last night. I get a notification maybe twenty five to
37:34
Speaker 3: thirty minutes before the before the first pitch of the
37:37
Speaker 3: All Star Game, and it's one of those super special
37:40
Speaker 3: shams ESPN alerts to your phone of Sixers versus pardon me,
37:45
Speaker 3: Dave mcmanhamon Sixers Courting the King. Tyrese, Maxi, Joel and Beid,
37:50
Speaker 3: and Jaylen Brown have all been in contact with Lebron,
37:52
Speaker 3: with Maxi leading the way. I thought that was setting
37:55
Speaker 3: up for all of a sudden Lebron to be sitting
37:56
Speaker 3: in one of the suites there with all the seventy
37:59
Speaker 3: six ers watching some of the All Star Game, and
38:01
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, the camera pans over.
38:03
Speaker 1: He's in Tyree's Maxi's box. Is it Tyree's Maxi's box?
38:10
Speaker 3: Instead, we'll have to wait, probably for tomorrow, because again
38:12
Speaker 3: they're gonna want to build up all the conversation today
38:16
Speaker 3: and then strike tomorrow, probably right in the middle of
38:18
Speaker 3: stephen A show.
38:19
Speaker 4: I I don't know, Billy, I'm you're more of a
38:22
Speaker 4: cock eyed optimist than me.
38:24
Speaker 1: You probably watched the SPS. I stopped watching that years ago.
38:27
Speaker 3: Well, I saw McAfee and company at the SP's yesterday
38:31
Speaker 3: and I thought they were tonight.
38:32
Speaker 1: I was.
38:32
Speaker 3: I was caught off guard. I did not and I
38:34
Speaker 3: did not know that one right there. Well, yeah, the
38:37
Speaker 3: SP's are in New York this year, which is weird.
38:39
Speaker 3: Usually I was gonna say, isn't it usually in La?
38:41
Speaker 1: Okay, it's in New York and then the kid from
38:44
Speaker 1: Marcelo Marcello's hosting. That's why my house is excited about it.
38:48
Speaker 2: Okay, did you hear about this ESPN show that Marcello
38:51
Speaker 2: is gonna be on?
38:52
Speaker 1: Yeah, the SPS Lara's Lara's a big Marcelo fan, like
38:55
Speaker 1: say she.
38:56
Speaker 2: She likes Uh, we used to watch SNL a lot more,
38:59
Speaker 2: but now we're mostly by then. But uh, yeah, Marcelo
39:02
Speaker 2: and Arman.
39:03
Speaker 4: There's this thing called YouTube that doesn't just show highlights
39:05
Speaker 4: from the nineteen nineties Eastern Conference finals.
39:08
Speaker 1: You can actually watch there's clips. Yeah. No, Herd or
39:10
Speaker 1: Mom both love Marcelo a lot. But that'll be good.
39:13
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just you know, it was funny because
39:16
Speaker 2: I don't know what you thought of When I read
39:18
Speaker 2: that that Maxi and Mbat and Jaylen Brown were recording
39:20
Speaker 2: him and we're recruiting him. I thought of that DeAndre
39:23
Speaker 2: Jordan getting locked in his house.
39:24
Speaker 1: Deal.
39:24
Speaker 2: Remember that wild summer where everybody was on Twitter trying
39:27
Speaker 2: to get DeAndre?
39:28
Speaker 1: Was it DeAndre Jordan? Am I wrong in my memory? Guys?
39:32
Speaker 1: I thought that was it?
39:33
Speaker 2: That wild day on Twitter when everybody was locking him
39:35
Speaker 2: in their house and saying, Hey, we're gonna get him
39:37
Speaker 2: and tweeting emojis and things like.
39:39
Speaker 3: The famous hostage situation involving DeAndre Jordan occurred on July eight,
39:43
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, during NBA free agency. After verbally agreeing to
39:47
Speaker 3: a four year, eighty million dollar contract with the Dallas Mavericks,
39:50
Speaker 3: he experienced a change of heart and wanted to prevent
39:53
Speaker 3: him from leaving the Los Angeles Clippers. You Chris Paul,
39:56
Speaker 3: Blake Griffin and then head coach Doc Rivers, of course, right, yeah, So.
40:01
Speaker 2: That's the first thing I thought of, is that we're
40:03
Speaker 2: gonna have a crazy internet situation like that again.
40:06
Speaker 3: But it wasn't to be, no incid. It would have
40:08
Speaker 3: been more like, you know, Ryan Longwell and Jared Jared
40:11
Speaker 3: Allen getting on the plane and going and picking up
40:13
Speaker 3: brett Les. No, come on, now, we gotta we got
40:16
Speaker 3: a jet for you. Come on over here to the
40:18
Speaker 3: City of brother Lee, Love and play with us.
40:20
Speaker 1: It does.
40:20
Speaker 2: The Sixers do make a lot of sense for him
40:22
Speaker 2: until you hear stuff like, well, he's not chasing a ring.
40:25
Speaker 2: It's not about winning, it's about lifestyle. It's about this.
40:27
Speaker 2: So well, we'll see Lebron's getting his UH. I would
40:31
Speaker 2: say his last turn as the decision, but that might
40:33
Speaker 2: not be.
40:34
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll have more of these in the future.
40:36
Speaker 4: Never know, You never know eight seven, seven, seven, nine
40:38
Speaker 4: four one ninety seven to three that that would have been,
40:43
Speaker 4: like maybe this will be Lebron' se'son between now and
40:46
Speaker 4: Friday or between now and Yeah.
40:48
Speaker 3: Oh this this has been circled because the other, the
40:51
Speaker 3: other thing is now. The league is also hoping that
40:53
Speaker 3: it happens because the last thing they want is UH
40:56
Speaker 3: more and more conversation about this Kawhi Leonard deal.
40:59
Speaker 4: That is UH had another job. Apparently there's another sponsor
41:02
Speaker 4: that he was getting paid.
41:03
Speaker 1: The incredible deal.
41:05
Speaker 3: Apparently his uncle was negotiating and hold a heavy bargain
41:08
Speaker 3: and they have another one that they've tapped into. Before
41:12
Speaker 3: he finds out needs to be on the case, drew
41:14
Speaker 3: the brighter.
41:14
Speaker 4: The spotlight on Kawhi Leonard and that that trade, the
41:18
Speaker 4: dimmer the spotlight on Gary Trent Junior circumventing with the Bucks.
41:22
Speaker 1: Yes, they're way too busy with this one.
41:25
Speaker 3: Let's just they'll let that sixty five million, what that
41:28
Speaker 3: sixty four million?
41:29
Speaker 1: What's that?
41:29
Speaker 3: Amongst friends? We'll figure it out. Gary, enjoy your money.
41:32
Speaker 3: This uh now, it was pushed back to Tuesday. Adam
41:38
Speaker 3: Silver said he's hopeful that it'll be wrapped up this summer.
41:43
Speaker 1: Brother, you said six months.
41:44
Speaker 3: Ago that it need we needed to have a decision here,
41:47
Speaker 3: We need to figure.
41:48
Speaker 1: This thing out.
41:49
Speaker 3: But before the playoffs began, he had said that now
41:52
Speaker 3: it might. I'm hopeful it'll get wrapped up this summer.
41:55
Speaker 3: That's a crazy curve ball, because it wouldn't. It would
41:58
Speaker 3: assume the way this is true ending and that Leonard
42:01
Speaker 3: trade being paused to the Raptors, yep, this would indicate
42:06
Speaker 3: he's getting suspended for a significant amount of time. Well right,
42:10
Speaker 3: like them pulling that thing back would indicate that they've
42:13
Speaker 3: found out all right, twenty five thirty games, if not more,
42:17
Speaker 3: that's going to rage some trade value and change maybe
42:20
Speaker 3: some things in this Eastern Conference.
42:22
Speaker 1: That's fun. The amount of games that would have been
42:23
Speaker 1: hiss load management anyway.
42:25
Speaker 3: Maybe so well, it helped out Paul George in that
42:27
Speaker 3: first round series. Yeah, well, you just pop something and
42:30
Speaker 3: then get twenty five games off and you're able to
42:33
Speaker 3: ball out and I'll get a new team.
42:34
Speaker 4: And it's true. That is true. All right, we're getting close.
42:36
Speaker 4: We're going to fire up the hot take hump day machine.
42:39
Speaker 4: We want him be about the All Star Game, but
42:41
Speaker 4: the Brewers will allow some predictions if you'd like. It
42:45
Speaker 4: could be about the wonderful match yesterday by Spain. France
42:51
Speaker 4: just goes to show you. On any given ball, that's right.
42:55
Speaker 4: France was supposed to this cruise to the final. Nope,
42:58
Speaker 4: not so fast. Spain punches the ticket. Talk about all
43:02
Speaker 4: that more as we move forward. You are in the huddle.
