  Speaker 1: Oh, let's have some fun with Jim Hayes, Cardinals TV
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: and Cardinal Territory. Give us one flip.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't think it was possible, Jim, but you
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: just got uglier.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: I knew that it would be great coming on with AJ.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: You're supposed to hold it up higher, so you look
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: hand you look handsomer.
• 0:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but now we can't see your chin and that's
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: the best part of you that listen.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry that I don't have a hat on backwards
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: and I have a tie.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Because I have to go work. I apologize for that.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: We're working. We are working.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: He won't talk to you. Yeah, you're working. That's a
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: nice hat, a j That's a great look.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: It's you know, I was wondering when you guys invited
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: me if I was going to be on with AJ,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: because this guy is the rusty nail, as John Mizaylok
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: put it, that the Cardinals needed to throw into the barrel.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: And uh, you weren't that rusty. You were kind of nice, AJ.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: And I also want to go on the record of
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: saying that AJ pointed out to me that I've been
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: doing broadcasting a long time, not at a very high level.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: AJ already had two national Emmys and was still playing
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: and was better at me than me at my job.
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: But you know, you know what's sad about that, Jim,
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: is you probably actually have Emmys in your house, like
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: regional emmys. I don't actually have an emmy. I it
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: was part of a crew that won woe, but they
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: didn't give us those back and then, So I'm sure
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: you probably have them. You're not showing them because you're
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: so humble. But if I had one, it would be
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: right here.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: It's listen, it's a joke to win them anyway. Well,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: you know how they do it. It used to be
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: that some guy from the local affiliate would have a
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: bunch of tapes and invite you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Over and then and then order pizza.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: When the pizza arrived, no one was watching the videos,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: so they just awarded it. They're meaningless, okay, agreed, regional
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: regional ones?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So is this what you have to do to get
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: your attention now? I mean, I'm not going to take
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: my shirt off, but with a shirt attention.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, Look, you can say what you want about the
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: tarps off crew that came in like a bolt of
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: lightning from Steven f. Austin, Texas, a club baseball team
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: in for the Club Baseball World Series.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I didn't know they had that.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: They came to the Cardinals game Friday night, about twenty
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: of them. One guy decided, in his own words, should
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: we take our shirts off?
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Screw it, I'll do it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: He did it, and next thing you know, there were hundreds,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: maybe thousands of people with their shirts off, and there
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: was energy in the ballpark like I hadn't seen all
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: season long. Now, the Cardinals are a team that's playing
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: really good baseball, slowly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: But surely, ali Heim.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: They're winning fans back because I think they're doing things
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the right way. But they needed a jolt, and the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: tarps off crew provided that jolt. And they're three and
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: ozero because they stayed. They were here yesterday, they weren't
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: there for Sunday's game Cardinal's loss.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So they are three and oh and you can't argue
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: with results, Jim.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: There was only one thing that I want to know,
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: Why didn't you take your shirt off when you're interviewing
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Chip and Brad at least had fake shirts off while
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: you were doing it, But you did not take your
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: shirt off. That is why you don't have any Emmys.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: If you would have taken your shirt off showed us
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: that body made by what is it is?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: He's pizza? What's the pizza place? Since pizza, then maybe
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you would be in line for one.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Don't you have a researcher? Because I put it on Twitter?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: There it is?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: You stole that from Chip and Brad they had those
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: shirts on. I need to see the real cat's body,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: not the thing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Listen. I don't know what your viewership is. It's a
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: lot better than Cardinal Territory. But I don't want to
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: scare anyone away, So let's get off that subject for now.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: If Cardinal Territory.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Can get to seven thousands, of which we've been slogging
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: along for two months to try to get there, maybe
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I will do it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: That was what they said on Cardinal Territory. That's what
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I heard. So actually it's not that crazy of a claim. Hey,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: j they're at six point sixty seven. He's not saying like, oh,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: get me to seventy thousand. He's saying, get me like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: four hundred subs.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's been two months, Kat, what are you expecting?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Listen? We have Izzy, No, we don't have Busy. He
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: turned us down as a guest.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: We have Lance Lynn, we have Kyle Gibson, we have
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Matt Holliday once every two months.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And we have former Cardinals on the show.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: We should get more subs, so hopefully you guys can
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: push for that. And as for the Cardinals, you guys
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: are talking about the NL Central and the Brewers and
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: the Cubs, and I knows you don't even give the
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Cardinals a sniff. I think you guys are making a
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: mistake because this team has belief. Maybe wouldn't be there
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: if they started the season slow, but they have won
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: five walkoffs already, seven and one in extra inning games,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: an unbelievable record in close games.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: This team doesn't.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Have guys on the roster, as you guys were saying,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: he scares me. He's the stopper, but everyone on this
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: roster brings something that can beat you. And I think
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: they've done a marvelous job, the coaching staff and preparing
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: these guys. They're always prepared with a tell or something
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: on the starter or something on a hitter that they
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: go after. And they've been playing really, really good baseball
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and it's a rebuilding year and they're rebuilding at the
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: same time they're winning. It'll be interesting come closer to
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: the trade deadline how they navigate that. Jims said, they'll
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: have to be creative because they.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Want to build for the future, not the now.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: But it's been fun and outside of you know, shirtless
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: dudes in the stands, there's also a lot of really
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: good baseball.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Not many Cardinals fans have come back because of the
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: fact that Carlals fans want a product that the ownership
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: might might be putting something into and not just sucking
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: away from.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Some Wireless plans can get a little bit crazy, a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: little bit off the charts expensive. Mint Mobile can get
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you started with three months of premium wireless for fifteen
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: bucks a month.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Could it pretty good?
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: I like that the way gas prices are going up, Scott,
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: We've got to keep more mobile plan down and mint
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Mobile is your location to keep your mobile plan down.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Can add family members. You can do all that for
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: just fifteen bucks a month.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: That's less than a drink in many cities these days
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: if you like bougie drinks. All plans come with high
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: speed data and unlimited talk and text delivered on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: nation's largest five G network. If you like your money
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: mint mobile is for you. Shot plans at mintmobile dot
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: com slash territory. That's mintmobile dot com slash territory. Upfront
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: payment of forty five dollars for three month five gigabyte
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: plan required equivalent to fifteen bucks a month. New customer
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: offer for first three months only than full price plan
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: options available, taxes and fees extra cementt Mobile for details.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Do you feel like this change in these young guys
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: playing was what they thought was going to happen before,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: but because of the way that maybe Mo had constructed
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: the lineup, that some of these guys never got to
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: play just one position. And now they're solidified. They know
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: they come to the ballpark and they are playing every day,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: minus like three guys that kind of rotate in and
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: out of different spots.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to hang this on Mo, but clearly
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: part of the rebuild is giving guys more of a path,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: giving them more playing time, and that's certainly been a
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: plus for this ball club. I just think what happened
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: early on is that I don't think anyone saw them
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: playing at this level.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I think they thought these guys.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Can compete, They're gonna be good, and then they'll be
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: good going into next year, and going forward, we'll see
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: what they are. But these guys were confident from day
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: one and they got off to a good start. And
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: the one thing this team really has is belief, right,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: They believe that they were gonna win games. They all
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: say the same thing, so it's not just some guy
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: talking in a post game or pregame interview. They do
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: take it every game separately. They start fresh and we're
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: gonna beat the team in front of us. We're going
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: to find a way to win a game.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: And look at last night.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I mean the Cardinals committed errors, they were hitting, the pitchers,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: were walking guys and hitting guys, and the Cardinals won
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: it with four homers, right, four home runs. They find
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: different ways to win. They all do believe in each other.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: And it's always late in a game that you figure
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: they're gonna make their move, and most times they really do.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: And I don't really know how they got.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: To this point except they're all buying in and from
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals standpoint, you know they're building for the future.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: They restock the minor leagues, they added coaching staff, so
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I think the next wave of players that are going
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: to come up are going to be better prepared. But
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals became good using two words as a philosophy,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: cost certainty and between fan duel going under which that
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: was partly my fault is I was a fan duel employee.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: The Cardinals had to take a haircut of millions of dollars,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: plus with the labor dispute looming in the future, there's
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: no cost certainty. So I think they looked at it
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: as now's the time to let him do his thing
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: and restock and rebuild, because what him wants to do
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: is make them every season, you know, gunning for the
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: postseason and for a deep run in the postseason. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: right now to me, they look like they could possibly
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: be headed for the postseason.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: We'll have to see. I know it's only mid May.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: We had the stat sheet up and it had the
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: rankings and the league league just when you first started talking,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: and it was fifteenth in hitting, seventeenth in overall pitching.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Are they just a middle tier team that's finding ways
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: to win these games or is it really this timely
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: hitting that they've been getting Because this pitching staff isn't
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: quite the staff that's going to be able to last
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: for an entire one sixty two because they don't strike
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: out a lot of guys, because they have some issues
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: with maybe giving too many free passes.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I understand baseball has a funny way of evening things out.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I get that right.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: And you look at the roster and it certainly doesn't
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: knock you over. However, the fact that, like take for example,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: they're starting rotation, right, you think, all right, you know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: they're not so great starting rotation. Their starters in the
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: month of May. Take last night's start out of it
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: had a what two point eight sub three er. Look
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: at their defense, You look at some of the analytics
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: on their defense, and they're like, that doesn't knock you down.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: But then you watch the games and every game someone
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: makes an unbelievable.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Game saving play. Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I do think there's an element of the Cardinals rising
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: to the occasion at the right time, and perhaps that
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: will even out. But right now, it's not like they're
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: leaning on homers or pitching or defense. They get a
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: lot of that in key situations, but it's finding different
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: ways to beat you.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And you know, when.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Games go to extra innings seven and one, they's seven
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: and one in extra innings, right, It always feels like
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the pressure is on the other team because the Cardinals
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: have been there and again since day one. They've kind
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: of instilled this belief into their ball club that they're
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: going to find.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: A way to win. So will this hold up?
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Look, I don't know, but I think there's a good
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: chance it may as the season rolls along. I'm not
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: seeing a lot of things diminish. I see some improvements
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: to the Cardinals starting rotation. Has been an uptick in
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: their ability to strike guys out. You know, they figured
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: out that they were falling behind early incounts. They're not
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: oh pitches, they're jumping ahead and counts. They're doing things,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you know, to put themselves in a position to maybe
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: go six, maybe seven. And another thing they've done with
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: their young with their rotation, which is young, they're spacing
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: about many cases, are getting an extra day arrest. They're
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: not pushing them even if they're pitching well, to go
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: seven or eight. And so these guys, hopefully because a
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: lot of them are going multiple innings as a big
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: league starter for the first time, and they're kind of
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: learning and adapting and maybe maybe they will be fresh.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Jim, what has Oli done to this team? To make
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: him so good. What's all these message for John Jay?
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: I know John Jay and descalso have probably brought tried
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: to bring him down. But what has Olie done.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: To boost up these other two, especially those two coaches.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he's brought players have always liked Dolly,
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: even when they weren't winning. Everyone played for I didn't
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: hear things in the clubhouse against Oli. I think he
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: has the ability to motivate, to appease the higher ups,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: if it's Mow or hein bloom and this year.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: And first of all, he's adorable like you.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: He wears his hat backwards and you know, he walks
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: around like he's got groceries under his arms. He's done
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: a brilliant jumb job of managing. Aside from that, right,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: he's he's got everyone to buy into what they need
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: to do, to listen to the coaching staff, even like
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: when the process for Walker wasn't working, when the process
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: for Gorman wasn't working, He's got guys to stay the course.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: And the other thing he's done is.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: He's reached out to fans and media and got them
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: on his side. I'm telling you there was a time
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: where you know, Ali wasn't beloved in this town. Now
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: he's buying blocks of tickets for people. He's on everybody's podcast.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: If you have you know, three listeners, he'll come on
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: your podcast. He's winning people over. He already want his
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: team over. The organization is confidence. He's starting to win
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: over the fan base and they're winning. How can you
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: argue with that?
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Jim? You know where he got that from, right.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: The hat backwards, just this whole thing, his whole skit.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Ask him who is Ask him who his favorite player
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: was growing up as a kid.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Who is it? You?
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Yep? I know I know that. Did you know he
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: went to the same high school?
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, but I didn't mean I didn't know.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: Is there anybody else that if you went to the
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: high school I went to, Jim, that anyone else that
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: you would say he was your favorite player?
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe depends on the fan base. That was part of.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Did you also teach him to walk around like he's
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: got groceries under his arm, like he's a tough guy.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: I try to tell him, I try to tell him
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: to put those down, but you know we're all jacked
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: from that school, so you know, that's just.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: The way it is.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: He is adorable. Don't you think.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Adorable is not the proper terminology? Jim, He's cute him.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: Look, we we have the little meetings with Ali with
• 15:07

  Speaker 4: guys in there, we weren't sure who's the most adorable
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: if it's Schumacher or Ali, but they're the top two.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Schoemacher vocal with Schumacher.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Did you ever try that line with Larissa? You look adorable?
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: And he was not adorable? He was Look, I love
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: that guy he was. He was cranky. He didn't have
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: that kind of fun.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: We love our dog Fella, who splays out in the
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: open sun on our floor like she's an underwear model,

  Speaker 4: Do any of you guys Show of Hands, believe that
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals or a possibility to make the postseason at
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: this point.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: One and that's.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Everybody. He's going to go meet them at some point
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: during the season for Fox.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Do I think that they can They can mess around
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and like.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: A little bit, but I think they can make They
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: can get a while. I don't know they win the division,
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: but I think they can get a wildcard. H I
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: think if now listen, Heine Blue is gonna have to
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: get some reinforcements at some point, probably in the starting rotation.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: But I think they can do it. I think that sure.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, no one thought they'd be even close to
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: where they are now. They have a nice little they
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: have a nice start already under their belt, and that's
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: huge if it would have got off to you know,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: ten games under five hundred right now.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: No chance.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: They're getting rid of the people they could get rid
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: of and they're moving on. But they have a they
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: have a nice little cushion to where, you know, if
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: someone falters, they I mean, I'm not saying it's gonna happen,
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: but they have a chance. They have a better chance
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: than I would say the Marlins or the Mets or
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: some of the other teams do because they got off
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: to such.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: A bad start.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: One more point too, I consider I feel like we
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: don't talk about this enough on our show.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Injuries suck a segment on this all the time. You
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: tell me if I'm wrong. One of the more healthy
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: teams knock on wood for them in baseball at the moment,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: we're not going over injury after injury, and fan bases
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: don't really consider that because they're so focused on their
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: own team and those two or three injuries that pop up.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But we're talking about some teams that have like double
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: digit injuries. The Astros don't have their top three starters
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and some depth pieces in their attition. And we can
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: go down the line of all these teams missing a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: ton of guys. Everyone's missing something, right, But the Cardinals
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: aren't missing a ton right now. Most of their guys
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: are healthy.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and an they dodged a bullet with Mason Wynn
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: who had left knee discomfort. They did the imaging and
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: they said it came back clean, so he's good. You know,
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: you look at the cardinals last year starting rotation, I
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: mean started. I've been covering teams where you can't get
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: out of spring training without three starting pictures going down.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: They had no injuries in their starting rotation last year.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I think they learned from that. Look, there's no way
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: to avoid injuries, but I do think the Cardinals have
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: a good plan on how to keep their guys as
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: healthy as possible. They also got some guys at Triple
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: A that I think they could plug into the starting rotation.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: But that's I think a fair assessment. You take away
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: one of their key guys, you know, a walk or
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: a burly and uh, they got they got a lot
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: to make up for and to cover for that.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's fair. Right now they're healthy.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Do we give CC credit? Do we give CC credit?
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Not that CC is not Chip carry by the way,
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: do we give Cec the trainer credit? And the fact
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: that he dyed his hair blonde for Team Puerto Rico
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: and he's a team player and he cuts everyone's hair
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: in the training room.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Does he deserve a lot of credit for everyone.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: The keepsake baseballs, you know, for when a young player
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: does he does everything. Yeah, I'll give him credit. I've
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: seen a massage some guys. He's he's got the healing hands.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: There's no question.
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: All right, Jim, I got one. Since I watched Cardinals Territory,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: what are the chances because you said what are the
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: chances about playoffs for Cardinals? What are the chances when
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Matt Holliday comes on that he's doing the show from
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: an actual sittings spot and not his car.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Zero this guy, look, this guy, great player, great guy
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: and really smart.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Right, he was going through him like an Arby's drive
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: through with his kids one time doing the show. But
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you don't get it, you see, you guys don't get it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Look when you're doing the show with former.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Professional athletes, and I guess AJ could be in that mix.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: He's more broadcaster. But it's like hurting cats. Hey, everyone
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: says we're gonna do the show tomorrow at eleven thirty. Hey,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: why are we doing at eleven thirty. I'm gonna be here.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be there. Lance Linn is going to be
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: riding a horse.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: What are we doing? It's not easy, but we get
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: it done.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they don't. He doesn't even eat Arby's.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: He doesn't even like Matt never never ate anything except
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: for fish and like seven orders of savice when you
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: would go out to heat. He never eats at Arby's.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: But on your on your show, he's always going through
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: fast screw drive through.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Well, his kids are with him sometime. And let me
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: tell you a story about Mount Holli. This is a
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: good one. So when Matt was playing for the Cardinals,
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: they had their own chef, right, and you know on
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: the road trips there'd be junk food burgers or you know,
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: chips and stuff like that. But Matt wanted to eat healthy.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: So the chef was offering different healthy varieties that could
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: be your food for the road trip. And you know,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Matt was telling the other guys to eat healthy, you know,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: look like me and everything. And that lasted, I don't know,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: like a month, maybe two months because Matt was the
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: only one ordering the healthy food.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: He wasn't eating healthy when I was on the Cardinals,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I know that. Don't want to fool you. Yeah he was.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: He was the fake healthy guy.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: She was like ma, she was like Matt Carpenter. Matt Carpenter,
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: he was like mac.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was huge. He was no, he did actually
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: eat well.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: You know what.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Matt Carpenter was the one who always thought he was
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: eating healthy and he'd sneaking ice cream bars everywhere. He
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: was the sneaky He was the skinny, fat guy.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Matt Carpenter where he would like have to disrupt everything,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: like no, I can only have this. But then you'd
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: see him on the desert and.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Cat knows him right, you see Carboner over there with
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: ice cream. After he's likely what grilled chicken and salad,
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: and then he'd be over in the corner eating ice cream.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: He got too skinny though, you need to know on
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: those bones. Holy, he got too skinny.
• 22:23
