- 0:03Speaker 1: Fraser Friday, everybody's together. Oh here we go right off
- 0:06Speaker 1: the right off the job. The other day, I.
- 0:11Speaker 2: Would cross you up right away. What I got to
- 0:19Speaker 2: bed late last night. Don't be angry anyway.
- 0:23Speaker 1: I have so many things to say, and I know
- 0:25Speaker 1: we do have to get to bis eventually. But did
- 0:28Speaker 1: you like hitting pitchers that were north south or east west?
- 0:34Speaker 3: I don't know what would you say?
- 0:36Speaker 2: You had an instant you were better. You were better
- 0:39Speaker 2: on up and down north south. Because he would chase,
- 0:43Speaker 2: he would chase far. He had good he had good range.
- 0:46Speaker 2: But that's how you get him out. You get him
- 0:48Speaker 2: out because he'd run out of he'd run out of
- 0:51Speaker 2: bat He never he always stayed through the ball so well.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Like people be like, oh, DoD Frasier slider batspeed, I'm like,
- 0:59Speaker 2: not slider, that's.
- 1:01Speaker 1: All change up.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Guys just threw the zone so long I was. I
- 1:06Speaker 2: was in and out of the zone. That's why my
- 1:08Speaker 2: numbers weren't as good. And then when he was able
- 1:11Speaker 2: to control the zone better with sliders, that's what made him.
- 1:16Speaker 1: There's some guys that like sinker slider right, especially nowadays
- 1:20Speaker 1: because they're seeing so many sliders and.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Sweepers, sinker. I didn't like when the inside I couldn't.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Right, that's and that's, and that's the east and west like.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I mean, you guys didn't have the sweeper area. It
- 1:34Speaker 1: came right out.
- 1:35Speaker 4: I were still throwing Hold up, hold out, don't start
- 1:39Speaker 4: that crap.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Yeah, but they throw way more of those now, you
- 1:45Speaker 1: think they threw just as many.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I think it was sliders. I think it was just
- 1:51Speaker 3: an actual.
- 1:51Speaker 2: How many guys, How many guys would throw? How many
- 1:54Speaker 2: guys would you say throw? You'd say, Oh, he's got
- 1:57Speaker 2: a curveball and a slider, and he'll blend it sometimes
- 2:02Speaker 2: in the counts. That's it.
- 2:04Speaker 4: Coy Kluber was one of the guys where I saw
- 2:06Speaker 4: one of the most filthy sweeper.
- 2:08Speaker 3: He could have.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Yeah, but he just called it a curveball.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:12Speaker 4: It would go and it would start, it would go
- 2:13Speaker 4: straight and then have that little hooky took.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Up a hill down.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Well. It never like if a guy's breaking ball, we're
- 2:20Speaker 2: getting too far into it here. But if a guy's
- 2:21Speaker 2: breaking ball pops out of his hand, you're all over it.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Even I would be all over it. Clubbers would go
- 2:31Speaker 2: and you're like, and he goes it's a curveball, and
- 2:34Speaker 2: I was catching it in seventeen in spring trail. I
- 2:36Speaker 2: was like, you do know it's not a curve ball,
- 2:39Speaker 2: and he.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Goes, yeah, yeah, bugs, bunny.
- 2:45Speaker 2: We called out, yeah, you just you just take a
- 2:48Speaker 2: day off or you try your best.
- 2:51Speaker 1: One other quick thing at night will give you nightmares.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You weren't on the other day. But you saw the
- 2:59Speaker 1: Rockies Giant in fight. So I was saying like, oh,
- 3:02Speaker 1: it's so exciting to at least see like real fighting.
- 3:04Speaker 1: And then someone was like, well, there weren't real punches thrown.
- 3:07Speaker 1: So I was going back and forth on that. But
- 3:08Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, my bar has been set
- 3:11Speaker 1: so low now that even just a Matt Chapman shove like.
- 3:15Speaker 2: A Willia Domus slap, if you watch it, you kind
- 3:17Speaker 2: of slap at them.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Yeah, but think about it. Bench is clear every what
- 3:22Speaker 1: every other week, maybe or so in a game, maybe
- 3:24Speaker 1: even a little less than that, maybe once.
- 3:26Speaker 3: A week or so what every other week?
- 3:28Speaker 2: Bench is clear every other week.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Every other week they clear and they'll go and then
- 3:34Speaker 1: they go back. So when there's some level of physical contact.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Right, yeah, you're like, all of a sudden, you're like this.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's a little bit.
- 3:51Speaker 2: You need. You need one designated player to just go
- 3:53Speaker 2: charge the mound and put hands on the picture. But
- 3:56Speaker 2: make sure he puts hands on you, because if it
- 3:58Speaker 2: just takes a punch being thrown like Freeland, Freeland threw
- 4:02Speaker 2: a punch, So threw him out, Like who are facing today?
- 4:06Speaker 2: Who's gonna get him to punch? Get him out of
- 4:09Speaker 2: the game, Take offense and go and go. That's the
- 4:14Speaker 2: only reason you're in this lineup.
- 4:15Speaker 3: Let him hit.
- 4:16Speaker 1: It's actually a good strategy.
- 4:17Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, see how it plays out for you.
- 4:21Speaker 1: On that note, let's charge the mount. Well, Todd Father
- 4:29Speaker 1: was on coverage of this Yankees astro series all week
- 4:32Speaker 1: and it has taken center stage. Yes, we're leading off
- 4:34Speaker 1: most shows with it, rightfully. So a lot has gone on.
- 4:38Speaker 1: So the latest that Gate.
- 4:41Speaker 3: Oh god, they're calling it? Are you calling that?
- 4:43Speaker 1: I'm just calling it that. I haven't seen anything, but
- 4:46Speaker 1: everyone puts Gate on top of things. So Taylor Tremmel
- 4:49Speaker 1: getting his bat checked. Who had that one on their
- 4:52Speaker 1: Bengo card?
- 4:52Speaker 3: No?
- 4:53Speaker 4: And we and we were watching the game and we
- 4:55Speaker 4: didn't see it until the bat was picked up and
- 4:57Speaker 4: We're like, okay, there's a white there's a big old
- 4:59Speaker 4: white spot on there. Only time I've seen a bat
- 5:02Speaker 4: like that, I remember it was it was Brandon Philts.
- 5:04Speaker 4: He would use it during batting practice because the the
- 5:08Speaker 4: black part of the bat from over use got worn
- 5:12Speaker 4: down and that he said it right, the gloss got
- 5:14Speaker 4: worn down.
- 5:14Speaker 3: It doesn't look like he shaved anything. I don't know
- 5:17Speaker 3: how you do that.
- 5:17Speaker 4: We were talking and we were saying, oh, you know,
- 5:20Speaker 4: maybe he's trying to flatten it out.
- 5:21Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't.
- 5:22Speaker 4: I've never seen anybody trying to flatten a bat out
- 5:24Speaker 4: and square it up, you know, I.
- 5:26Speaker 3: It looks totally different. It looks weird.
- 5:29Speaker 4: I could see why Boone was like, all right, let's
- 5:31Speaker 4: take a look at it. But I don't think there's
- 5:35Speaker 4: anything to it. And I and I think, honestly, only
- 5:38Speaker 4: time I've seen those is during batting practice. Why would
- 5:40Speaker 4: anybody want to bring that bat up to hit? I
- 5:42Speaker 4: don't know that would that would mess with my psyche
- 5:45Speaker 4: a little bit, and I'd be like, all right, but
- 5:47Speaker 4: it's just a bald spot.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I would call it. It's is that why you went
- 5:52Speaker 2: right to me? A bolt spot?
- 5:54Speaker 1: No, you went to him first. Yeah, yeah, dang it.
- 5:57Speaker 3: That good.
- 5:58Speaker 2: It's a big enough sandwich. It's a big nothing sandwich.
- 6:01Speaker 1: If you say that, though, I want to make sure
- 6:03Speaker 1: you include this in your answer. If it's a big
- 6:04Speaker 1: nothing sandwich, then why would you start beef.
- 6:09Speaker 2: I don't think they want to start beef. I think
- 6:10Speaker 2: they Boone said they noticed it, and they and they
- 6:14Speaker 2: waited for him to get a hit just to see.
- 6:18Speaker 1: So then it's not a nothing sandwich because you're starting
- 6:20Speaker 1: something with a team and now they're like, okay, you
- 6:22Speaker 1: think my bat's illegal?
- 6:24Speaker 4: Okay, I mean anybody's going to take offense to it. Honestly,
- 6:26Speaker 4: I would take offense to it, like just a little more,
- 6:30Speaker 4: you know, reading material for the next time they play whatever.
- 6:33Speaker 4: I don't want to look too far into it and
- 6:35Speaker 4: make it that big of a deal. Tremmelle talks about
- 6:38Speaker 4: to mess with my character. He used to be there,
- 6:40Speaker 4: he used to you know, he was a Yankee too,
- 6:42Speaker 4: So it's like I get where he's coming from. I
- 6:46Speaker 4: understand it because from where I'm at, I take offense
- 6:49Speaker 4: to everything, and that's just who I am and my
- 6:51Speaker 4: natural ability. But at the same time, you got to
- 6:54Speaker 4: understand it's very unnatural bet to look at and swing.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Would you agree with me on that?
- 7:01Speaker 1: Ftfam designer clothes can be expensive, but we want our
- 7:04Speaker 1: clothes to look good, we want to feel good. We
- 7:06Speaker 1: want them to be affordable and krats. If you tell
- 7:09Speaker 1: me that I can wear a T shirt that looks

- 7:56Speaker 1: Slash foul to save. That's True Classic dot com slash fou.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Well it is, but.
- 8:01Speaker 2: If you look at other guys old Hicks that they
- 8:03Speaker 2: used during BP, it would take three seconds to look
- 8:06Speaker 2: at it and be like, oh, old Hicks paint rubs off. Yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 2: that's what it does, as you usual, we used to.
- 8:12Speaker 2: I forget who it was, and ever since this happened
- 8:14Speaker 2: last night, I was talking to Derek at Pinstriped Territory,
- 8:18Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out who it was. I played
- 8:20Speaker 2: with a guy who uses BP bat every single day,
- 8:23Speaker 2: and I felt like it was Adam Lynn, but Adam
- 8:25Speaker 2: Lynn and Kevin Franzen didn't cross, so I don't know
- 8:28Speaker 2: where it was, but I remember it was old Hick bat.
- 8:31Speaker 2: And Kevin Franzen was like, oh, man, like that guy's
- 8:34Speaker 2: got he's got like like he just must wear out
- 8:37Speaker 2: his bat all the time. You always hit the same
- 8:38Speaker 2: spot on my Wow, that's impressive. Perfect spot, perfect spot.
- 8:42Speaker 2: And he was like, he was like, I need to
- 8:44Speaker 2: do that. So he took the sand paper and starts
- 8:47Speaker 2: sandpaper and his BP bat and the paint off, and
- 8:50Speaker 2: I'm like, this is sick, Like it makes us look
- 8:52Speaker 2: like good hitters, but it's just a BP bat that's
- 8:55Speaker 2: not what like, I don't know if you bone your bat,
- 8:58Speaker 2: which is helpful in my opinion, less helpful, less helpful
- 9:02Speaker 2: for a maple bat, which that is clearly a maple bat.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Nobody the damn ashbour got ash out of the out
- 9:08Speaker 2: of the game. But you don't need to bone maple bats.
- 9:12Speaker 2: So yeah, I just think if they were able to
- 9:15Speaker 2: get a closer look at it, I don't think they
- 9:17Speaker 2: would have done this.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Just just a lot of overuse. It is what it is,
- 9:22Speaker 3: you know.
- 9:22Speaker 4: And and and Boone did say he called before and
- 9:26Speaker 4: asked about it, and they said, yeah, if he goes
- 9:28Speaker 4: up again, you know, and see what you can do.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I guess from what from what I'm hearing.
- 9:31Speaker 1: He said that they indicated it could be good.
- 9:35Speaker 2: I don't think it's like I just watched the video
- 9:37Speaker 2: of Davy Johnson calling out a rod right before is
- 9:43Speaker 2: that bat to confiscate his bat? And grim if you
- 9:46Speaker 2: watch the video, Griffy's like airing out Davy Johnson. Davy Johnson,
- 9:50Speaker 2: manager of the Orioles, is just sitting there like, uh,
- 9:53Speaker 2: you know, they just wanted to because a rod was
- 9:55Speaker 2: killing him. Yeah, Griffy gave a rod his bat hit
- 9:59Speaker 2: a danger and so you're all they're thinking is a
- 10:03Speaker 2: corked bat. That's what they're thinking. I don't know what
- 10:05Speaker 2: the Yankees are thinking, but in the a Rod situation,
- 10:08Speaker 2: they're thinking a corked bat. I don't know what they
- 10:10Speaker 2: could have been thinking on this one Pine tar.
- 10:13Speaker 4: Maybe you know what the funny thing was, Adrian john Johnson.
- 10:16Speaker 4: He put the bat the umpire excuse me, put the
- 10:20Speaker 4: bat over home play. So at first we're like, well,
- 10:22Speaker 4: it's the pine tar too. They were trying everything. I
- 10:26Speaker 4: think maybe Boone's like, you know, check this, check that.
- 10:28Speaker 4: I don't know, but it's in circumstantial. They had still
- 10:31Speaker 4: ended up losing the game. Yankees Tiff two out of three.
- 10:34Speaker 4: And you know, the biggest part about this Yankee team,
- 10:36Speaker 4: as you win series, you're gonna move up in the ranks.
- 10:38Speaker 3: And that's what they gotta do.
- 10:39Speaker 4: They probably should have swept them, you know, but bullpen
- 10:43Speaker 4: give it away on day number two.
- 10:45Speaker 1: If I'm Taylor Tremmell and I was in the Yankees
- 10:49Speaker 1: org and I knew they were doing something, I'm like, oh,
- 10:52Speaker 1: now it's on course right, anything big or small, I'm like,
- 10:55Speaker 1: if there's one thing that I caught there, during the order.
- 10:58Speaker 1: One thing, someone told me they have opened up the floodgates. Right,
- 11:02Speaker 1: one picture is kind of using a little sticky stuff
- 11:05Speaker 1: and getting away with it or whatever. Right, Well, next
- 11:08Speaker 1: time they face each other in the playoffs, they're like,
- 11:10Speaker 1: I'm coming for you.
- 11:11Speaker 3: If I'm out check.
- 11:14Speaker 1: It's kind of like shot for shot, right, wouldn't you
- 11:16Speaker 1: feel that way. Let's let's say you're in that situation
- 11:19Speaker 1: and you're like, I know one picture that does something
- 11:21Speaker 1: that's wrong, and I'm going to meet him up in
- 11:23Speaker 1: the alds and burn them.
- 11:26Speaker 3: Now you gotta remember you know what rumors or what things? Yeah,
- 11:30Speaker 3: go ahead.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Then I'm saying he's too late. As soon as I
- 11:33Speaker 2: go over to a new organization, I'm telling them every
- 11:35Speaker 2: single this guy, first base coach on this team moves
- 11:39Speaker 2: when when the catcher moves, this is how he does it.
- 11:43Speaker 1: It was not that, not like tips and stuff. I'm
- 11:45Speaker 1: saying something that's like a little bit shady everything the
- 11:49Speaker 1: shady stuff one game, But are you calling it out?
- 11:53Speaker 2: I'm telling my team and they are going to do
- 11:56Speaker 2: what they want with it.
- 11:57Speaker 1: But Joe Spotom might say, you know what, we know
- 11:59Speaker 1: some guys doing that. But now it's like, it's on
- 12:03Speaker 1: They just called out our dude for having an illegal
- 12:05Speaker 1: bat and we believe it's not.
- 12:07Speaker 2: It's on Taylor Tremil if he's with the Yankees, and
- 12:11Speaker 2: then go see Astros if he truly wants to win.
- 12:14Speaker 2: He's already telling them what their signs were. Hey, what
- 12:18Speaker 2: were your signs?
- 12:18Speaker 3: Hey?
- 12:19Speaker 2: What is the approach in this situation?
- 12:21Speaker 1: Illegal things?
- 12:23Speaker 2: Everything? Yeah, everything, there's not there's.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Not one sunscreen under his hat.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Watch his everything's right.
- 12:31Speaker 2: Watch this.
- 12:32Speaker 4: It's just a lot instead of just playing the game.
- 12:35Speaker 4: It's a lot on his plate. And I don't know,
- 12:36Speaker 4: you know, if he's that guy that you know would
- 12:38Speaker 4: want to do that. But we'll see.
- 12:40Speaker 1: They said, you're cheating the rules when you asking him
- 12:42Speaker 1: to check something. It's not like, oh, I'm curious, Like
- 12:45Speaker 1: this doesn't happen. How often does this happen during the year?
- 12:48Speaker 1: Three times?
- 12:48Speaker 2: Maybe it was definitely a unique situation. I don't know
- 12:52Speaker 2: that they were like, I don't know if I would
- 12:54Speaker 2: have felt so offended that, like you think I'm a cheater.
- 13:01Speaker 4: I'm gonna taken a little offense to it. I'm like, man,
- 13:04Speaker 4: what do you guys think I am? But Ultimately, you're
- 13:08Speaker 4: allowed to ask that.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Question, no doubt. But then they might do the same
- 13:12Speaker 1: thing later on, and if that's the case, you gotta go, yep,
- 13:15Speaker 1: that's fair.
- 13:16Speaker 2: You ever hit with you ever hit with a cork bat?
- 13:20Speaker 1: I've never hit with a cork You don't even try it.
- 13:23Speaker 1: I don't know how to make I was hitting ingers.
- 13:25Speaker 3: No, I'm kidding.
- 13:25Speaker 2: But did you ever hear MVP? Not that big a deal? Like,
- 13:30Speaker 2: it wasn't that much. I was like, whoa it was?
- 13:33Speaker 4: It was the manager when you swing a newspaper, that's
- 13:35Speaker 4: usually what happened.
- 13:36Speaker 2: See, I always swung. I always swung a heavy bat anyway,
- 13:39Speaker 2: So my batsy was elite. It just wasn't in the
- 13:42Speaker 2: It just wasn't in the zone very long right there.
- 13:45Speaker 2: But it was actually John Schneider, the manager of the
- 13:49Speaker 2: Blue Jays. It was his bat, and he was like, dude,
- 13:52Speaker 2: this guy made this for me in the off season.
- 13:53Speaker 2: He's like, we gotta try it, and I'm like, sure,
- 13:56Speaker 2: I'll try it.
- 13:57Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't all it typed up to be not as.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Not as much to like use it in a game
- 14:03Speaker 2: and like risk beer, Yeah, risk your reputation stuff.
- 14:09Speaker 1: Sammy Sosa was digging it. You got busted.
- 14:12Speaker 2: He was trying to get He was trying to get
- 14:14Speaker 2: edges in a lot of different.
- 14:15Speaker 1: Inscts, and he did for a long time. It worked
- 14:17Speaker 1: for him. Anyway, Thoughts on this one, obviously, if you're
- 14:20Speaker 1: catching it later on, drop a comment let us know.
- 14:23Speaker 1: But great series, and yes, the Yankees took two out
- 14:26Speaker 1: of three from the Astros. On the Houston side, you'red on.
- 14:28Speaker 1: Alvarez had eight hits in the last two games.
- 14:30Speaker 3: He's back.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I love when those two teams matchup. I said it yesterday,
- 14:35Speaker 1: I'll say it again, all right. One other thing, remember
- 14:38Speaker 1: when Austin Wells said they had the PitchCom issue and
- 14:41Speaker 1: there's only one that's in Spanish, so we looked into it.
- 14:46Speaker 1: The rules are each team gets twelve of the PitchCom
- 14:49Speaker 1: devices the receivers for their caps, and six of those
- 14:54Speaker 1: are on the field and can be used in any
- 14:56Speaker 1: given time. Right, so you get six on the field,
- 14:58Speaker 1: twelve totally got your back. All of them can be
- 15:02Speaker 1: programmed into multiple languages, so you can put Spanish on
- 15:05Speaker 1: their Japanese, Korean, whatever you need. So when Austin Wells
- 15:10Speaker 1: was like, well, we only have one in Spanish. I
- 15:12Speaker 1: was screaming yesterday, I'm.
- 15:13Speaker 3: Like, put more of them with Spanish.
- 15:16Speaker 2: What are you doing? You got twelve?
- 15:18Speaker 1: Why wouldn't they do that?
- 15:21Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at their bullpen, if you
- 15:24Speaker 4: look at their pitching staff, I mean, how many Spanish
- 15:27Speaker 4: guys do they have that come in?
- 15:28Speaker 3: You know what I mean? So it's really I mean.
- 15:31Speaker 1: I gotta have more than one though, because you need
- 15:32Speaker 1: a backup. That was my thing. I'm like these things.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Those John's always die.
- 15:36Speaker 1: They die all the time.
- 15:38Speaker 4: I think Michael Kay said, why don't they understand like
- 15:42Speaker 4: before the ending starts and making sure this is good,
- 15:44Speaker 4: like before the games.
- 15:46Speaker 3: I don't get it. I don't either.
- 15:48Speaker 2: I mean Fernando Cruz, I mean, I'm sorry, not for now.
- 15:51Speaker 2: And Yellow Dela Santos last night forgot to put it
- 15:54Speaker 2: in his cap. He got a pitch violation. He got
- 15:58Speaker 2: deaked by Cabairo. That was very nice, that was a
- 16:01Speaker 2: great deck. But and then there was one other one
- 16:04Speaker 2: to wells that there's another pitch violation, but forget to
- 16:06Speaker 2: put in their hat, Like I just think you have
- 16:09Speaker 2: to be so on top of so many things to
- 16:12Speaker 2: be a World Series team, that to have one Spanish
- 16:16Speaker 2: in your cap. Pitch com is just poor poor planning.
- 16:22Speaker 1: Also, wells is the catcher. Can't he then go to
- 16:25Speaker 1: the team that we need two, three.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Four somebody. But like you don't ever think, hey, how's
- 16:32Speaker 2: our backup? You have? You have a backup for my Like, dude,
- 16:35Speaker 2: I do we have.
- 16:36Speaker 3: These freaking you're allowed six? Right, so the catcher and
- 16:39Speaker 3: pitt six on the field, yeah, yeah, and then the.
- 16:41Speaker 2: Other four or no, the other six are sitting on
- 16:44Speaker 2: the bench waiting for what fastball.
- 16:49Speaker 4: Fielders, any fielder that you wanted, right, So, I mean
- 16:52Speaker 4: they don't have all their fielders aren't Spanish, so why
- 16:55Speaker 4: would you need it?
- 16:56Speaker 1: And I'm just saying you got.
- 16:57Speaker 3: All the backup ones you're talking about?
- 16:59Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So who already has pitch clock on the bench?
- 17:03Speaker 1: I got you Spanish one malfunctioning. Okay, where's the next
- 17:06Speaker 1: Spanish one?
- 17:07Speaker 3: There should be?
- 17:08Speaker 2: Hell, we don't have it a little bit.
- 17:14Speaker 1: I'll throw this in here now because I mean we
- 17:16Speaker 1: talked about it the other day. But Mets moves, Francisco
- 17:18Speaker 1: Avres activated even though both hands have been beaten up.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Hopefully he's okay, and then Kodai Sanga optioned, so he said,
- 17:25Speaker 1: okay to the option. He had to approve that. Gotta
- 17:30Speaker 1: work on things. I mean, it's that or they're probably like, dude,
- 17:33Speaker 1: you're in trouble. I mean, what were they going to do?
- 17:35Speaker 1: Just let him sit on the roster.
- 17:39Speaker 2: A little easier in September because of the extra true
- 17:42Speaker 2: guys that you get. But he's got a pitch they
- 17:45Speaker 2: weren't gonna throw. He probably was like, I'm not throwing
- 17:47Speaker 2: out of the pen. So go down to Syracuse get
- 17:50Speaker 2: your starts. Although if he gets rocked, is that bad?
- 17:56Speaker 2: If he deals, is that good enough?
- 17:59Speaker 1: Yeah, if he deals, it could be good to me.
- 18:01Speaker 2: You have to have a plan. If they don't have
- 18:02Speaker 2: a plan, then I'm like, no, I'm not getting options down.
- 18:05Speaker 1: They have a plane.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Anybody can get options.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Hey.
- 18:21Speaker 1: So the Padres have been struggling, but so have the Dodgers.
- 18:24Speaker 1: It's funny. There are a lot of good memes online
- 18:28Speaker 1: where both fan bases are pissed off because they can't
- 18:31Speaker 1: take advantage of the other fan base right now and
- 18:33Speaker 1: be like your team's trash because they're both really going
- 18:36Speaker 1: through it. But for the Dodgers side, pod Father, they
- 18:39Speaker 1: lost a couple of games to the Pirates and then
- 18:41Speaker 1: it's like, all right, guys, we'll take the last one.
- 18:43Speaker 1: And you look up and you're.
- 18:44Speaker 2: Like, oh, it's.
- 18:48Speaker 4: No, no, yeah, this is it's kind of a it's
- 18:53Speaker 4: amazing to me, like because you come into the season,
- 18:56Speaker 4: how I did I said, Dodgers verse, everybody there not
- 19:00Speaker 4: gonna lose this, and that they've had their struggles this year,
- 19:04Speaker 4: They've had their injuries. I'm not making excuses, but they
- 19:07Speaker 4: had like five or six guys for every five or
- 19:09Speaker 4: six guys. So you're sitting there, you're looking now you're like,
- 19:12Speaker 4: my goodness, like seventy eight and sixty two, Holy cow.
- 19:16Speaker 1: That's it.
- 19:17Speaker 4: That's it. They might they're not even going to reach
- 19:19Speaker 4: one hundred wins. So it's like, yeah, Paul Skins are not.
- 19:22Speaker 4: They got to find a way to win these games
- 19:24Speaker 4: against one of the worst teams in the league. So, yeah,
- 19:27Speaker 4: it hasn't been pretty for the Dodgers, is it.
- 19:29Speaker 3: You know?
- 19:30Speaker 4: Is that one of those things where once the playoffs come,
- 19:32Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you know, Mookie Bets turns into
- 19:34Speaker 4: Mookie Bets and Freddie Freemans comes the hero.
- 19:36Speaker 3: Of all heroes.
- 19:37Speaker 4: So there's been some good things about this, But god,
- 19:41Speaker 4: if you're the Padres, this was an opportunity right now. Man,
- 19:45Speaker 4: they got you know, they lost back to back games
- 19:48Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Not to move on. You talked about it.
- 19:50Speaker 4: They had a chance to win it off they did.
- 19:52Speaker 4: This was their opportunity. Let's go put the pedal to
- 19:55Speaker 4: the medal. So it's unfortunate for the Padres.
- 19:58Speaker 3: The Dodgers. They're gonna find a way to win a division.
- 20:00Speaker 4: But the Dodgers or the Podgers had a really good
- 20:02Speaker 4: opportunity here.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Does this most recent stint I think it's the last
- 20:07Speaker 2: like forty three games. I think they're nineteen and twenty two.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Does that make you think they're not a good team
- 20:14Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
- 20:15Speaker 4: I still think they're gonna be because when those lights
- 20:18Speaker 4: come on, the playoffs come on, it's a new season,
- 20:20Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, the stats go out the
- 20:22Speaker 4: window and they and all of a sudden, they what
- 20:25Speaker 4: is that muscle memory? All right, oh we're in the
- 20:26Speaker 4: playoffs now, let me let me, let me show the world.
- 20:29Speaker 4: I feel like they'll be just fine. It's just very it.
- 20:32Speaker 4: Just make sure wonder a little bit what's going on there.
- 20:35Speaker 2: But last year, the rhetoric was they go to the playoffs,
- 20:40Speaker 2: are they a regular season team? Max Munsey was on
- 20:43Speaker 2: the show talking about, you know, we know there's different
- 20:46Speaker 2: things that maybe don't play in the playoffs that play
- 20:51Speaker 2: during the season. Yeah, and now it's kind of flip flopped. Listen, like,
- 20:56Speaker 2: we're we're not Dodger hating, like everybody as soon die.
- 21:00Speaker 2: The best record in the National League and that would
- 21:04Speaker 2: be it, and they're showing their mortal with some super
- 21:09Speaker 2: human players on their team. I just don't know if
- 21:12Speaker 2: you have it confirms what I thought before the season.
- 21:18Speaker 2: No team is a super team. Yeah, they just have
- 21:20Speaker 2: a lot of depth.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Do they also have a problem against teams that are
- 21:24Speaker 1: kind of garbage? This doesn't have to do with schemes, right,
- 21:28Speaker 1: let's look at the bigger picture. But since August first,
- 21:31Speaker 1: against teams with a five hundred record or better, they're
- 21:33Speaker 1: eleven and four. That's electric, that's awesome. It is very
- 21:37Speaker 1: hard to keep that up, right.
- 21:39Speaker 2: That's who they're going to face in the playoffs.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Point is that now they're four and twelve in that
- 21:45Speaker 1: same stretch against teams that are below five hundred. How
- 21:48Speaker 1: many of those teams are going to face in the playoffs. Anne,
- 21:53Speaker 1: you got to be good teams. But do you have
- 21:55Speaker 1: to be good teams that you're the Dodgers?
- 21:57Speaker 2: No? No, you have to win the World Series.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Right, That's my point. So Todd Father, if you were
- 22:03Speaker 1: try to put yourself in this exact spot. I'm on
- 22:06Speaker 1: the Dodgers right now. I've been in the league for
- 22:08Speaker 1: a while. I'm not worried about my roster spot. I
- 22:10Speaker 1: am focused on getting ready for the playoffs. It's not
- 22:12Speaker 1: like I'm not trying. But do you feel different when
- 22:16Speaker 1: you're in Pittsburgh playing a game that matters? But again,
- 22:21Speaker 1: you're gonna be in October baseball versus I'm facing the
- 22:25Speaker 1: Padres in this Monster Series.
- 22:28Speaker 4: I think you're more confused, like, why are we not
- 22:31Speaker 4: clicking on all cylinders right now? Why are we not
- 22:33Speaker 4: winning these games that we should? I mean, you look
- 22:37Speaker 4: at the Yankees. It's like a flip flop. You know,
- 22:39Speaker 4: Yankees are around a little over five hundred against good teams,
- 22:42Speaker 4: but they're crushing the teams that they should beat.
- 22:45Speaker 3: So what side of the cake do you want? You know,
- 22:48Speaker 3: do you want one or the other?
- 22:49Speaker 4: If you're first in the division, you know, you're gonna
- 22:52Speaker 4: make the playoffs. I think I want the Dodger side,
- 22:54Speaker 4: knowing that I'm beating the teams that most likely are
- 22:57Speaker 4: going to be in the playoffs, and then I'm gonna
- 22:59Speaker 4: have to face I. I would say Dodgers just confused
- 23:03Speaker 4: more than upset. It's like, oh, this is an easy victory.
- 23:06Speaker 4: Not easy, but this is a victory we should win.
- 23:08Speaker 1: But not jaded. Where like Krats mentioned, you're taking on
- 23:12Speaker 1: the Pirates, this is their world series. Hey, guys, season's
- 23:15Speaker 1: been a mess. We get to face the Dodgers. We'll
- 23:17Speaker 1: probably have a few extra butts in seats because they
- 23:19Speaker 1: want to see o Tani. Let's really bring our all, Like,
- 23:22Speaker 1: let's empty everything out of the tank?
- 23:24Speaker 3: Why not do that every game?
- 23:27Speaker 1: But I thought it's a marathon. It's hard to do that.
- 23:29Speaker 3: No, no, it is. It is hard.
- 23:31Speaker 4: Excuse me, I'm gonna come up a little bit here,
- 23:33Speaker 4: but yeah, it is. Uh, it's a little difficult. But again,
- 23:37Speaker 4: I'm it's just more confusing. After you lose a game
- 23:40Speaker 4: like that, you get in the clubhouse like, huh.
- 23:44Speaker 2: Just have a game a series like that. They went
- 23:46Speaker 2: sixteen straight innings getting shut out by the Pirates. Pitching staff. Wow,
- 23:51Speaker 2: then they scored three in the night, and then Paul
- 23:53Speaker 2: Skeens came out, like, you know, Paul Skeens is gonna
- 23:55Speaker 2: do Paul Skeen's things against throwing the entire roster is Yeah,
- 24:01Speaker 2: But it's also kind of a narrative, like Scott just said, oh, yeah,
- 24:06Speaker 2: you know the Yankees they lose against teams over five hundred.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Who do you think has more wins over teams that
- 24:12Speaker 2: have a five hundred or better record? Because I'm saying
- 24:15Speaker 2: it the Yankees. Yankees at forty six. The Dodgers have
- 24:19Speaker 2: only beaten teams with a five hundred or greater record
- 24:23Speaker 2: forty one times, say five. Yankees have five more wins
- 24:26Speaker 2: against five hundred teams five hundred or greater. So I think,
- 24:33Speaker 2: look like there's certain teams that are not on the bubble.
- 24:37Speaker 2: The Dodgers are not a bubble team. The Dodgers do
- 24:40Speaker 2: need to clean some stuff up in the lineup, but
- 24:43Speaker 2: they've shown they can be pitched to. I think other
- 24:46Speaker 2: I think the when you win the World Series and
- 24:48Speaker 2: you have superstars, you forget like they can be pitched too.
- 24:54Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Yeah, like everybody knows the Yankees' weaknesses are they swing
- 24:58Speaker 2: and miss too much? They can be pitched to, they
- 25:01Speaker 2: strike out, And I think because they didn't win the
- 25:04Speaker 2: World Series, everybody's rhetoric in their mind is, yeah, we're
- 25:08Speaker 2: good like we can we can easily beat those guys.
- 25:11Speaker 2: The Dodgers have shown they're not invincible. There's still one
- 25:15Speaker 2: of the top three teams in the league.
- 25:17Speaker 4: I'll finish it with this any team right now going
- 25:19Speaker 4: to the playoffs facing the Dodger. I don't want to
- 25:23Speaker 4: face the Dodgers in the playoffs. That's what they're saying. Oh,
- 25:25Speaker 4: we gotta face them. I don't care what their record is,
- 25:27Speaker 4: If the Dodgers in the playoffs, what they're gonna be. Shoot,
- 25:30Speaker 4: we gotta beat this team, you know, best out of
- 25:32Speaker 4: five hang with them.
- 25:34Speaker 2: It's been the offense right now. I said it yesterday,
- 25:36Speaker 2: I'll say it every single day we're on the show.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Without Max Munsey in the lineup, that is a game
- 25:42Speaker 2: change or somebody has to have big time at bats. Yeah,
- 25:44Speaker 2: but during this last forty games, the starting rotation for
- 25:49Speaker 2: the Dodgers has the lowest ERA in all of baseball.
- 25:53Speaker 2: That is a stat that if you're going to play
- 25:56Speaker 2: the Dodgers in the postseason. You're like, it's freaking ay,
- 26:02Speaker 2: Like that's a I talked about. The The Padres bullpen
- 26:05Speaker 2: yesterday is a superpower. The Dodgers rotation was built to
- 26:10Speaker 2: be a superpower. They didn't want to go into the
- 26:12Speaker 2: postseason with just a bullpen. Again, they've done it. So
- 26:17Speaker 2: watch out because Max Monsey's coming back and he's gonna
- 26:19Speaker 2: start doing the Max Mountsey things and then this lineup
- 26:23Speaker 2: is just gonna start clicking. I'm they're very they're a
- 26:26Speaker 2: very good team.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Yeah they're lurking. They look I'm like whatever everyone's going
- 26:31Speaker 1: through Lells scary, scary team. But yes, they're not a
- 26:34Speaker 1: one win team, as we continue to remind everyone.
- 26:37Speaker 2: But we need salary cap, right, it's not fair.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Not fair, not fair that they're in the same pack
- 26:43Speaker 1: as Poppy. Thank you, Freddy Peralta. Five more scoreless innings yesterday.
- 26:51Speaker 4: It looked good. A lot of pictures. That's that's my
- 26:54Speaker 4: only problem, just too many pitches.
- 26:56Speaker 1: But to get there, yeah, it looked.
- 26:58Speaker 3: It looked really good.
- 26:59Speaker 4: And he's just the energy, the poise, the movements, the
- 27:03Speaker 4: force coming up and boom, here we go. And he
- 27:06Speaker 4: threw a lot of fastballs and got a lot of
- 27:07Speaker 4: fellows guys out on two strike fastballs.
- 27:10Speaker 3: In my opinion, it's heavy. It's heavy.
- 27:12Speaker 2: He's always been. He's always been Freddy fastball now fast now,
- 27:18Speaker 2: but now he's mixing in more breaking balls. He can
- 27:21Speaker 2: add that sweeper that gives him length to the side.
- 27:24Speaker 2: Before when I caught him, his slider was more like
- 27:28Speaker 2: because his fastball cuts, so slider just kind of cut
- 27:30Speaker 2: off of that. And guys that would stay on plane with.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Him, he didn't trust them.
- 27:34Speaker 2: He was it was easy. He didn't think you could
- 27:36Speaker 2: catch those. I never caught Freddy, That's what Freddy was.
- 27:40Speaker 2: I caught the veteran guys, bro But but.
- 27:48Speaker 3: Out of the.
- 27:50Speaker 2: They were rookies at the.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Time, So who were the veterans.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I didn't catch Wade Miley in the ball. Yeah, and
- 28:00Speaker 2: then many many p would catch Freddy, Chase Anderson, and
- 28:05Speaker 2: then I would get the fifth guy. Whoever the fifth
- 28:07Speaker 2: guy was the.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Guy with the splitter on the Brewers. Did you catch him?
- 28:10Speaker 1: It was a little before that, or it might have
- 28:12Speaker 1: been around that time. Remember there was one guy who
- 28:14Speaker 1: had a really good splitter. Everybody on the br was like, no,
- 28:17Speaker 1: there was one guy. It was a little before that group,
- 28:20Speaker 1: but I think he caught the end of it. I'm
- 28:23Speaker 1: gonna get it. It might be my thing.
- 28:25Speaker 2: The entire Mike fires. They had Gardo, they had they
- 28:30Speaker 2: had figaroa Figuaro.
- 28:33Speaker 1: When I say this name, you're gonna be like, I'll
- 28:35Speaker 1: find it. I'll find it for the next break. I
- 28:38Speaker 1: love that where someone else might find it first, but
- 28:40Speaker 1: I love those games. Find it. He like added a
- 28:43Speaker 1: splitter and it was by far his best pitch. It
- 28:44Speaker 1: got him back to the bigs. I think it was
- 28:45Speaker 1: pitching in Mexico. And then he had like a decent
- 28:48Speaker 1: two three year run.
- 28:49Speaker 2: And oh, how your Gara he was on the team.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Garrett Hoby.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably.
- 28:57Speaker 1: Grett Garra.
- 28:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I was a fair guy that I caught. Yes,
- 29:02Speaker 2: I would catch him. And he was, yeah, all right.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I guess we'll do this here because the YouTube crowd
- 29:09Speaker 1: gets all the good stuff.
- 29:10Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Of course, the o g.
- 29:12Speaker 1: MLB came out with the ruling, so Taylor Tremmel's bat
- 29:16Speaker 1: was technically illegal, but the Office of the League determined
- 29:20Speaker 1: that Tremail's bat did not give him a competitive advantage,
- 29:24Speaker 1: and the umpires treated the situation like an impermissible glove
- 29:27Speaker 1: color or design until the player he was no longer
- 29:30Speaker 1: permitted to use the bat. And that's happened before. Right, hey,
- 29:33Speaker 1: you can't have that coloring on your glove. Sure this
- 29:37Speaker 1: piece of equipment on your hat, blah blah blah.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Right no, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, it doesn't happen
- 29:44Speaker 4: really anymore with the glove.
- 29:46Speaker 1: With the glove definite. They didn't let him do his
- 29:50Speaker 1: thing on that.
- 29:53Speaker 2: All the kids from the hospital signed. Baseball was like, no, no, no,
- 29:56Speaker 2: it's a white club, you can't so so but players
- 29:59Speaker 2: weekend we can have like we can have like swords
- 30:03Speaker 2: and you know, the fanatic on bats, and we can
- 30:06Speaker 2: have poke pokemon on bats. But we can't have we
- 30:10Speaker 2: can't have a guy using his VP bat that has
- 30:12Speaker 2: a worn off spot on it. Why because us to
- 30:17Speaker 2: make rules. There's no advantage now if they find like
- 30:21Speaker 2: pine tar on there. Sure some guys used to groove
- 30:24Speaker 2: their bats. That adds extra pace to the ball, a
- 30:28Speaker 2: little back spin, just like a golf ball and a
- 30:30Speaker 2: golf club and a golf That's not the thing we changed.
- 30:35Speaker 3: They changed that. It's called launch spin.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Launch Nobody nobody backspin baseball. I actually heard a guy
- 30:42Speaker 2: say that. I heard I heard a guy say that
- 30:46Speaker 2: people don't back spin baseballs. They square them up at
- 30:49Speaker 2: the right angle.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no square in a baseball.
- 30:53Speaker 2: What happens? What happens when you scare? What happens when
- 30:54Speaker 2: you square up a baseball with your swing?
- 30:57Speaker 3: With my swing, we go right into the ground. I
- 31:01Speaker 3: don't know.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Knuckleball? Oh yeah, you would hit it and be like, so,
- 31:05Speaker 2: now if you square it up perfectly, square it up
- 31:07Speaker 2: with this, you're gonna hit a knuckleball in the air.
- 31:10Speaker 2: No backspins. You want to click the bottom third of it.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Cut that ball top.
- 31:17Speaker 1: I can. I can feel the backspin when you do that.
- 31:19Speaker 3: I'm gonna get some swings after this. I gotta get
- 31:21Speaker 3: ready for the home run derby again. Let's go.
- 31:24Speaker 1: So everyone's okay. Taylor Trammel has a bat that doesn't
- 31:29Speaker 1: give him an advantage, but he can't use it because
- 31:32Speaker 1: it's not I hope.
- 31:33Speaker 2: They gave it back because it it looks indifferent.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Yeah, that's part of baseball, Okay, and we move on.
- 31:40Speaker 1: We contribute to a blog called The Roarer Blog, part
- 31:45Speaker 1: of the bet MGM network. So the latest article we
- 31:48Speaker 1: put up three MLB bat speed Kings. You should know
- 31:54Speaker 1: you know who that is on the screen.
- 31:57Speaker 2: Barger Arger. He looks like he has great batspeed.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Name has good bats.
- 32:04Speaker 2: You'll see it this weekend when the Jays. This man
- 32:07Speaker 2: is not getting cheated.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Nine th percentile bats because some of the batsfeed guys
- 32:11Speaker 1: at the top. It's like, okay, we know John Carra. Uh.
- 32:15Speaker 1: We were looking for guys that ever emerged. Yeah, we
- 32:18Speaker 1: were looking for guys that have emerged that if you're
- 32:21Speaker 1: talking to a more casual fan, they probably don't know
- 32:24Speaker 1: who he is. So the three names we put on
- 32:25Speaker 1: there were Addison Barger, Kyle Stowers, and Hunter Goodman. They're
- 32:30Speaker 1: all in the top fifty and before the season, if
- 32:35Speaker 1: you even talk to most moderate baseball fans, they'd be like, huh,
- 32:39Speaker 1: who what board? They've all had great years. Barger's falling
- 32:45Speaker 1: off a little bit. He's He's definitely a kind of
- 32:49Speaker 1: a hit or miss guy, right.
- 32:51Speaker 2: I think they all have.
- 32:53Speaker 1: I mean, Goodman's probably kept it the most of the three,
- 32:56Speaker 1: but Sours also is hurt right now.
- 32:58Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say Stow. I would say Stours if
- 33:01Speaker 2: if you're talking about like who could who could keep
- 33:04Speaker 2: it going? I think stowurs has the the best approach.
- 33:08Speaker 2: But with these guys, bat speed normally coincides with dudes
- 33:14Speaker 2: that go straight up and then and then back up again.
- 33:18Speaker 2: It's hard to see a guy stay consistent when they're
- 33:22Speaker 2: just absolutely just rolling the pole. I would like to
- 33:26Speaker 2: know what your bad speed was. I would like to
- 33:27Speaker 2: know what guys who played I played against what their
- 33:31Speaker 2: bat speed was, because they used to have that like
- 33:34Speaker 2: thing you put on your noma.
- 33:37Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 33:38Speaker 4: I mean, it just depends on you know, I've I've
- 33:41Speaker 4: reached like one fifteen couple of times velocity.
- 33:45Speaker 1: This is bad speed different because it's new.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you mention that they have been they
- 33:51Speaker 2: have Yeah.
- 33:51Speaker 1: They have miles.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just I would just wouldn't want to
- 33:55Speaker 2: know what I was playing?
- 33:56Speaker 3: Would is that is that from here to here? Or
- 33:58Speaker 3: is that on costay.
- 34:00Speaker 2: Your highest swing speed? It captures it from the Hawkeye
- 34:03Speaker 2: cameras or the cameras that they have.
- 34:06Speaker 3: No, I would have loved to know too.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Now there's a lot of guys there's a delineation for
- 34:11Speaker 1: prospects where they're like, oh, he's not at seventy yep,
- 34:14Speaker 1: not worth a look, what do we like this week?
- 34:18Speaker 1: And what do we like this weekend?
- 34:21Speaker 2: I mean, what do you watch it?
- 34:22Speaker 4: I mean, there's I'm watching the Yankees. I'm sorry, you
- 34:26Speaker 4: know I've been talking about them a lot. This is
- 34:27Speaker 4: a huge series. Even they have nine games left against
- 34:32Speaker 4: teams over five hundred that are most likely going to
- 34:34Speaker 4: be in the playoffs, and then they have twelve or
- 34:38Speaker 4: excuse me, thirteen games of guys under five hundred. So
- 34:42Speaker 4: if they could stay and you know, win two out
- 34:44Speaker 4: of three, maybe you know, they have a chance to
- 34:47Speaker 4: win this division in my opinion, knowing who the other
- 34:50Speaker 4: teams have to face.
- 34:51Speaker 3: So let's see what the Yankees got. This guy camp Schletter.
- 34:54Speaker 4: I'm just really impressed with the way he pitches, with
- 34:57Speaker 4: his extension and you know, the short arm and bam,
- 35:00Speaker 4: here we go. He's a lot of fun to watch.
- 35:03Speaker 4: Schlitler Schler.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Nailing the pronunciation, yes you have, you've been nailing it
- 35:10Speaker 1: because some people have gotten a little dicey when.
- 35:12Speaker 2: It's not splitter, it's splitler. When I first came up,
- 35:17Speaker 2: I thought it was slitter. Spit spitter.
- 35:21Speaker 1: That's that's it would be cool if you're like he
- 35:23Speaker 1: he throws a slitter, Yeah.
- 35:28Speaker 2: Slighter anyway, I think that's the series because every other
- 35:33Speaker 2: series it's playoff team versus non playoff team. There's not
- 35:39Speaker 2: one team that's in the playoffs that's matching up against
- 35:43Speaker 2: another playoff team. Here we go to me, that to me,
- 35:46Speaker 2: that's the series. Yes, I want to see how I
- 35:49Speaker 2: want to see how the Cubs, like the Cubs could
- 35:51Speaker 2: sweep here and their offense could look really good because
- 35:54Speaker 2: they're playing the Gnats. Yes, I want to see if
- 35:57Speaker 2: Milwaukee does what everyone else is doing against the Pirates
- 36:01Speaker 2: recently and loses. Yes, but that to me, the Yankees
- 36:06Speaker 2: blue Jays are a very good litanus test. Yea, not
- 36:16Speaker 2: just the Blue Jays, because Blue Jay's bullpen is brutes
- 36:19Speaker 2: mcgoots and if they want to do good in the playoffs,
- 36:22Speaker 2: they would do good in the playoffs. The best way
- 36:25Speaker 2: to test it is the Yankees lineup, because you have
- 36:28Speaker 2: to be able to execute pitches to beat the Yankees,
- 36:31Speaker 2: and the Yankees have been giving them a lot of
- 36:33Speaker 2: games by what they have eleven heirs the last series
- 36:38Speaker 2: that they played. But Ben Rice last night dropped two balls.
- 36:42Speaker 4: Yeah, the one, the one from third from McMahon was
- 36:45Speaker 4: a little harder, I thought, But the one the double
- 36:47Speaker 4: player should have been caught.
- 36:50Speaker 2: The one from third because because.
- 36:51Speaker 4: It's you know, and he's still trying to understand, you know,
- 36:57Speaker 4: how far he can go.
- 36:58Speaker 3: It's it's it's a hard it's I give him that position.
- 37:01Speaker 4: Yeah it is, and people don't think of it is
- 37:03Speaker 4: I'll just throw him over at first base because he hit.
- 37:05Speaker 4: But here's the thing with the Yankees right now, Judge Stanton,
- 37:09Speaker 4: I mean, Judge is doing okay, stand kind of fizzled
- 37:11Speaker 4: a little bit. Well, these other guys are raking the
- 37:15Speaker 4: ball they got, and they got eight guys that are
- 37:17Speaker 4: gonna hit two on of your plus home runs, Grisham,
- 37:21Speaker 4: you know, Rice Bellinger, McMahon, just to name a few
- 37:24Speaker 4: wells they are doing. Really it's magical. So to see
- 37:28Speaker 4: that and the big boys aren't doing what they're supposed
- 37:31Speaker 4: to be doing, you know. On on a little bit
- 37:33Speaker 4: of a note, this is a team. They're clicking right
- 37:36Speaker 4: now at the right time.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Of those guys, non g non Judge. None of the
- 37:40Speaker 2: pictures of those guys in the lineup. Who's the most
- 37:43Speaker 2: important or impressive season?
- 37:47Speaker 3: I would say the most impressive is is Grisham.
- 37:49Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty hundred, that's crazy.
- 37:52Speaker 1: Nobody had that.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Who's the most important? The Yankees didn't even have it.
- 37:56Speaker 1: They gave him, Like I said, nobody.
- 37:58Speaker 2: I would say the.
- 37:59Speaker 4: Most important probably Ollinger in my opinion, he's got a hit.
- 38:02Speaker 4: He's the one hitting either in between or right after
- 38:05Speaker 4: those guys.
- 38:05Speaker 3: So it's if he stays hot.
- 38:08Speaker 2: I mean, oh god, how about how about Jazz not
- 38:12Speaker 2: playing after he got two booboos on his knees?
- 38:15Speaker 1: That was he said that the knees have been a thing.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's that's kind of rude to you.
- 38:20Speaker 2: I'm just saying because they had a late game last night,
- 38:24Speaker 2: they got to fly to play.
- 38:25Speaker 3: They probably didn't go to bed till five o'clock.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Oh man, how long it takes to get most of
- 38:31Speaker 2: them live forty five from the stadium.
- 38:33Speaker 3: And you got to go through customs. No, it's at home.
- 38:37Speaker 2: While they're at home, they're in the Bronx.
- 38:38Speaker 3: Are you sure?
- 38:40Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure.
- 38:41Speaker 3: I did, Like you're right, my.
- 38:42Speaker 2: Yeah, six Toronto six Toronto radio things this morning?
- 38:46Speaker 3: So yes you.
- 38:47Speaker 4: Dial yeah, and yeah, they got a you got a
- 38:50Speaker 4: good little ride ahead of them going home.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Okay, my turn. Now I'm gonna pick No, I'm gonna
- 38:57Speaker 1: pick weird stuff.
- 38:58Speaker 2: We have like three weird let's get weird.
- 39:00Speaker 1: I mean they're not weird, but I route for chaos, Okay,
- 39:03Speaker 1: I enjoy chaos. I like when September first hits and
- 39:09Speaker 1: people go, oh, there's no races, it's already decided, and
- 39:12Speaker 1: then it's like, but wait, what's going on here? In
- 39:15Speaker 1: the AL Wildcard that's a real thing. I'll start with
- 39:19Speaker 1: the more boring side, but it's still a puncher's chance.
- 39:22Speaker 1: If the Reds sweep the Mets, they're two games out.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Is it likely? No?
- 39:27Speaker 1: But if they sweep the Mets, this is the direct
- 39:30Speaker 1: team that you have to take down in the wild
- 39:31Speaker 1: card standings, they're two games out. Also, if they sweep
- 39:34Speaker 1: the Mets and the Giants have a good weekend, you know,
- 39:37Speaker 1: things could change. Is it likely? No, very much, not likely.
- 39:40Speaker 1: But on the American League side, we have a real race.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Seattle is a game and a half clear of Texas
- 39:47Speaker 1: too in the lost column. As AJ always tells you,
- 39:50Speaker 1: the same with Kansas City and Tampa Bay. Here's the
- 39:53Speaker 1: thing that starts to get interesting. Right, We're not talking
- 39:56Speaker 1: about four or five games. We're talking about two games
- 40:00Speaker 1: or fewer away For three teams. So what does that
- 40:04Speaker 1: mean to me? Your percentage chance of one of those
- 40:07Speaker 1: teams getting hot as hell or keeping that streak alive
- 40:12Speaker 1: like the Rays.
- 40:13Speaker 2: It's there, it is.
- 40:14Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying is Seattle might finish nicely, right Seattle.
- 40:18Speaker 1: How many games are left for teams, like twenty ish,
- 40:20Speaker 1: twenty two. So let's say Seattle finishes twelve and ten.
- 40:23Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, they finished nicely. But what if one
- 40:25Speaker 1: of these teams finishes sixteen and whatever? That is six sixty.
- 40:30Speaker 4: But Kratzy always said, if you're three games are more
- 40:32Speaker 4: in September, you have no shot.
- 40:33Speaker 1: But that's why we got We got two, one and
- 40:36Speaker 1: a half on one of them. So Texas, Canton, Tampa Bay.
- 40:40Speaker 2: You're repeating what I said, and then I repeat the repeater.
- 40:44Speaker 1: So my point is tonight Cleveland and Tampa Bay face off.
- 40:50Speaker 1: That meant nothing a week ago. No, it's got a
- 40:53Speaker 1: little juice.
- 40:53Speaker 3: I like that.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Minnesota and Kansas City. Kansas City should have handled biz,
- 41:00Speaker 1: but they didn't, although they did last night big win
- 41:03Speaker 1: over the Angels to at least get a game there, Right, we.
- 41:06Speaker 2: Have them four home runs to do it.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Whatever is unlikely for them, so now they got Minnesota.
- 41:13Speaker 1: You're looking for them to sweep a series here and say, hey,
- 41:18Speaker 1: Seattle had some trouble in Atlanta. Now we're a game now.
- 41:23Speaker 2: So this is your turn. This is your turn, Scott.
- 41:26Speaker 1: These are the series that I'm watching. That's my point
- 41:28Speaker 1: is Toronto and the Yankees. Cool little playoff preview, but
- 41:33Speaker 1: they're both in the playoffs, so you're good. Whatever happens happens.
- 41:38Speaker 1: I'm moving to what if Seattle gets swept this weekend
- 41:41Speaker 1: in Atlanta? What if the Royals sweep the Twins. What
- 41:43Speaker 1: if the Race sweep the Guardians And then we show
- 41:45Speaker 1: up Monday and there's a different team in a wild card?
- 41:48Speaker 2: Which that's the good? Which? Which one is it gonna be?
- 41:53Speaker 2: Uh answer?
- 41:57Speaker 1: I always give you an answer. I always give you
- 41:59Speaker 1: an answer. I think on Monday, I think that Cleveland's
- 42:04Speaker 1: gonna be a tough test for Tampa Bay. Cleveland they
- 42:07Speaker 1: still got a solid team. That's an annoying spoiler. Minnesota
- 42:12Speaker 1: is bad right now. They're really bad all year besides
- 42:15Speaker 1: that fluke winning streak that they had, and it's not
- 42:17Speaker 1: the same team. Kansas City has a chance to take
- 42:21Speaker 1: it to them for a few games, and Seattle is
- 42:24Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Seattle is in a bad spot right now.
- 42:27Speaker 1: They desperately want to get home, and instead you're in
- 42:30Speaker 1: hot Atlanta, You're facing Chris Sale to open up the series,
- 42:33Speaker 1: and there's still plenty of boppers in that lineup. So
- 42:36Speaker 1: that's all. I'm just throwing that out there. So the
- 42:38Speaker 1: two is, could I see Seattle dropping two at a
- 42:42Speaker 1: three to Atlanta, Kansas City winning two at a three
- 42:45Speaker 1: and against Minnesota and all of a sudden Monday, we're
- 42:49Speaker 1: talking about a tie for that third wildcard seat. That's
- 42:52Speaker 1: the good stuff. That's what I'm throwing out there. Because
- 42:54Speaker 1: most people were like, it's all decided already. I said
- 42:58Speaker 1: that at one point because it looked like that, Hey,
- 43:00Speaker 1: we know all twelve teams already. It seems like we
- 43:03Speaker 1: know eleven now. Are we sure the Mariners are getting in?
- 43:07Speaker 1: Because it's not just where you're at, it's schedule. Watch now,
- 43:10Speaker 1: like we're on schedule Watch would you rather face Atlanta
- 43:14Speaker 1: or Minnesota right now? To me, it's not close. It's
- 43:17Speaker 1: just like when we talked about Baltimore. Baltimore is not
- 43:19Speaker 1: a fun team to face right now. Bradish is back.
- 43:22Speaker 1: Tyler Wells is back. Some of the guys that are
- 43:23Speaker 1: trying out, and the bullpen are playing pretty well. They've
- 43:26Speaker 1: got some hitters. That's not a fun team to face.
- 43:29Speaker 1: Atlanta definitely has pitching problems, but not a fun team
- 43:33Speaker 1: to face, especially on a sale Friday night. Minnesota should
- 43:37Speaker 1: be a fun team to face right now. White Sox
- 43:41Speaker 1: just dusted them. I get it, it's baseball. Anything can happen,
- 43:44Speaker 1: but you want to face them. You want to face
- 43:46Speaker 1: the Nats right now. We went over It's not just
- 43:49Speaker 1: the bad teams. Where are the bad teams at right now?
- 43:51Speaker 3: In Texas? I'm looking their last nine games.
- 43:53Speaker 4: They got Miami, Minnesota and then Cleveland.
- 43:59Speaker 1: You've got a chance.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Feel like Cleveland might be out by that time.
- 44:02Speaker 1: But you've got a chance in those nine games to
- 44:04Speaker 1: go seven intil.
- 44:04Speaker 4: They have a quantlet going right now. They got the Astros, Milwaukee,
- 44:08Speaker 4: New York Astros.
- 44:09Speaker 1: That's the problem. You got to get through that anyway.
- 44:12Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm excited about. I root for chaos.
- 44:15Speaker 3: Who's gonna who's gonna get hot?
- 44:16Speaker 1: That's all razorre already hot? Can they stay hot? All right?
- 44:30Speaker 1: We got a quick time here for slap. First off,
- 44:33Speaker 1: a lot of people were asking about the Emmett shean
- 44:35Speaker 1: baseball thing you sent that. I saw it. I was like,
- 44:38Speaker 1: is this a segment? But I mean a lot of.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Yeah, what what was that about?
- 44:42Speaker 1: By accident? Right?
- 44:43Speaker 3: No?
- 44:44Speaker 1: It was on purpose. No, I don't know. I didn't
- 44:47Speaker 1: do enough homework on this. So you got what.
- 44:49Speaker 2: Pitchers want the ball sometimes, what are you doing? They
- 44:51Speaker 2: threw him a new ball and he went, that was
- 44:55Speaker 2: so back end.
- 44:56Speaker 1: He wanted to use the baseball.
- 44:58Speaker 2: Still, hey, only he can answer. He definitely think.
- 45:02Speaker 1: He said postgame, like, my bad, I messed up.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I don't that's it.
- 45:06Speaker 2: It's fine, okay. Or he was pissed he gave up
- 45:09Speaker 2: a hit to first big hit. I don't know. I
- 45:13Speaker 2: don't know.
- 45:13Speaker 4: At least he said if he was trying to be funny,
- 45:16Speaker 4: it wasn't funny.
- 45:17Speaker 2: Pete, Pete accidentally. I don't think he was trying to
- 45:20Speaker 2: be fun I think jc's first hit, Pete Alonzo accidentally
- 45:24Speaker 2: threw it in. He was frustrated. Now because we've interacted
- 45:28Speaker 2: with Pete. You know, Pete, I don't think he's going
- 45:30Speaker 2: to nefariously do that. I don't. I don't I don't
- 45:34Speaker 2: know she in. Maybe in the moment he was pissed,
- 45:36Speaker 2: but he said it was his dad. Everybody's like the idea.
- 45:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 45:44Speaker 1: For some reason, I believe him, coming off a week
- 45:47Speaker 1: where remember Valdez said he didn't cross up on purpose.
- 45:51Speaker 2: What fast no nor no no.
- 45:56Speaker 1: He called for a drilling in the ribs. Drill me
