  Speaker 1: But that was fun. Yesterday.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: I was my first Opening Day experience in Cincinnati. I
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: did some radio appearances this morning, and I was their
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: best promoter.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: My Opening days have been to many of them. They're good.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: This is holiday pomp and circumstance. Parade almost has an
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: All Star Game vibe to it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know about All Star Games. I
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: know about all for sure. No, it was there was
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: definitely a beautiful thing. Again, one of the best places
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to come for Opening Day. It's fantastic to bed the
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: ninth in it came. That was unfortunate, but again the
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: crowd was still bumping afterwards, and it's exciting times during
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: the Queen don't worry about one game and focus on.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: The whole rest of the year.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a special day Opening Day in Cincinnati
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: every year. I really feel like we've talked about it yesterday.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: It should be a national holiday, but it certainly should
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: be a holiday here in Cincinnati for everybody. But yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: even after the tough loss, the crowd was still going nuts.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: The streets were still packed, and I had to go
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: to bed early or try to go to bed early because.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I couldn't walk around. They understood that it is just
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: one game. Yeah, because not everybody does, which we'll get
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: into in just a moment. But also, this will be
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: our last show from Cincinnati, and there's our first show
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: of a new era at one o'clock Eastern Era for
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year. So every show the rest
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: of the year, weekdays for the most part, will be
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: one o'clock Eastern time. We're back at our normal time.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Thanks to the Nation Kitchen and Bar at the Banks
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: for hosting us, beating us great specials this week to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: shouting them out. This's our last show here they you

• 2:04
  Speaker 3: shirt too. I got a little Nation representation right here,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: yes exactly. And lastly, before we get into overreactions and
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: underreactions from opening day krats, let's shout out the FT network.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We'll look at some of the fifteen total shows that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: are under the FT Network. We don't need you to
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: name them all, but if you want to shout out
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: maybe one or two, Oh, this is nice, like this graphic.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Our guy Derek with Pinstrip Territory. Obviously, right down the
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: street we got Philly's show messed up that. I mean,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: there might be there might be just anarchy on the
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Mets up show right now. They're on to one. Juan
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Soda was supposed to make them one sixty two, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Oher and Austin Wells of Cheap Home Run and Yankee
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: Stadium mess up is so pissed.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You know who else is very ticked off? Hammer Territory.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Listen to about three quarters of the episode this morning.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: They were freaking out. We'll get into that later, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: let's dive into overreactions and maybe under reactions. Let's charge toodfather.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: What do you think was the least big deal from
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: yesterday that had some people worked up?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean it coincides with both of them here.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about the New York Mets they're gonna win games. Guys,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: they're gonna score runs. Understand that the focus is over
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a long haul. We know Jan Soda is gonna be
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: really good as well, so pump the brakes there. The
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Mets are gonna be a pretty good team. The Astros
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: just brought it. Framburg Valdez had a really good game.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: We didn't know which Frameburgh we're gonna get. And understand
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be really good. So relax, Queen City or Queens,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it's Queen. Excuse me, I'm great Queen Queen City. Relax
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: New York Mets fans and understand they will be good.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Focus on what you can control, and that's tomorrow's day,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: meaning today, go get him today.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, Danny, do you have an overreaction?
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I do, so I know the we just talked about
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the Reds bullpen kind of giving it up yesterday, and
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: the over reaction for me is people are saying it's
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: just game one of one sixty two. That is absolutely correct,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: but that still doesn't fix the bullpen for the red
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: So that's why I think it's an overreaction. Everybody's like, oh,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: they'll be okay, Well, the team will be Okay, but
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that they're going to win unless they
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: fix the bullpen somehow and whether they have somebody else
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: as a closer trade for a closer. I know it's
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: still early. Yeah, but he's also got some not just
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: physical issues. I think it's confidence issues when he's when
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: he's out there, and that's what's what's a big deal.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: So when he comes back or whenever he comes back,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: they got to do something in the meantime.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So Alexis Diez. Hopefully we'll be back in maybe
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: a week or two ish. I don't know the exact timeline.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: But yesterday Hunter Green was a strikeout machine for Cincinnati
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: and their six to four loss to the Giants. Punched
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: out eight in his five innings. I mean he did
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: his job right. Yeah, them in a position to win.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Scott Barlow one scoreless inning, Millio Pagan one scoreless inning,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: and all these guys I'm listening to at a couple
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: punch outs. Tony Centien also with two strikeouts in his
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: scoreless inning, and the problem was Ian Jibo, who ended
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: up being charged with four total earned runs, including the
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: three run home run to Wilmer Flores and then Sam
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: mule came in to clean things up.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Where was Rogers? Good question, that's a really good question.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: They spent a lot of money on him this offseason
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and he's at US career saves, right. Yeah, so yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: maybe there was something physically wrong.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: With them, something that we might not know about. I mean,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: or maybe Twoto was like, let me give let me
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: give this guy a chance, you know. Yeah, Yeah, he
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: got the first out in the ninth and they're like, ah, cruising.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And then what was it?
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: A walk started it?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then a single to ride first and third,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: another single and then the big one by Wilmer. Wilmer
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Flores has been doing this for a long time. I've
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: seen it first hand. That's one guy you don't want
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: to see in the ninth inning for sure. He's probably
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: got seven or eight game winners.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Put him on base and see what you can do
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: after that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I think I saw it was seven.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably five of them, which was pretty cool.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But again, it is what it is. The Reds are
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: gonna be okay, the Giants are gonna be okay. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: that's a good start for San Francisco coming here to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the Cincinnati and taking care of business.
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: Air Thinning is very common, very frustrating problem that many
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: men deal with. From stress and nutrition to hormones to lifestyle.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: So many internal factors affect what you see on the outside. Luckily,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: Neutrifoil is here to help.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: Thinning hair is different for men and women, so a
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: one sized fits all approach their hair growth doesn't cut it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: Neutrafoil has there's multiple formulas for men and women that
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: are tailored to different life stages and lifestyle factors.
• 7:06

• 7:10
  Speaker 6: trusted by over one and a half million people. See thicker, stronger,
• 7:13

• 7:39
  Speaker 3: r a f O L dot com promo code foul.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Those two teams made a trade this offseason, and Taylor
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Rogers is a pretty expensive reliever. He's making twelve million dollars.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: The Giants picked up a little bit of the money,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: but Cincinnati's taken on a good chunk of it. You
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: would think Kratz, that's the guy, right, How does he
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: not pitch on opening Day?
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Not his lane? There's a lot of bullpen questions of
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: how teams use certain guys. That was kind of my overreaction.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: But maybe it's not his lane. Maybe the Reds don't
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: view him as the guy that should have stepped in
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: when they were at that spot in the lineup. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: don't know. That's it's perplexing to me.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: H Okay, let's keep running through over reactions. We're gonna
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: get help from fans on socials. So we did some
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: digging on social media and found fans losing their mind.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Let's start with the team that I think is going
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to win it all, the Arizona Diamondbacks. I watched almost
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: that entire game. I was back and forth between that
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: and the A's and the Mariners. They fall to the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Cubs ten to six last night, and one fan said,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: I'm officially.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Done with the Bats.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: This is it must be from New York, right he
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: retired out there, done with the Diamondbacks after one game.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Crats, that's harsh.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: That's fine. There's a lot of other teams that you
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: can cheer on. I mean, go be a Dodgers fan
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: if you're if you're done with what I think is
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: a top five team in all of baseball, not just
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: the National League. So hey, if you're done, go be
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: a Dodgers fan, or actually just go north, go north
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: up into the Rockies and be a Rockies fan. If
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: you're done with.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: A right, if you want to really get kicked off,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: then there's a team in your division. So anyway, next up,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: this fan, Laker guy so out in La Area, says
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Ron Washington.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Gotta go.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: That was embarrassing in so many ways. One game into
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: the season. It is the second year for Ron Washington
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: running the Angels, and they did get embarrassed Podfather by Chicago.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: The White Sox pick up an eight to one dub.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: The Angels have a position player pitching in game one
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: of the season. That's never good.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I listen, the Angels make all these acquisitions off season.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: You and I were talking. We're like, well, at least
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: they're doing something. And then they go out here. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: mean it's not a goosegg, but you know, pretty much
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: a gooseg out there, and you're like, what the heck
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: is going on here? We thought there would be just
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: an okay team and they come out and all of
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: a sudden, we're like one game. We know it's one game,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: but giving up eight runs to the White Sox. Wow,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: that's not a good sign to start the year.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Well, I think Laker guy should be worried about more
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: what the Lakers did last night. Oh, they're going against
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: the Bulls. I wonder what he said about them.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in trouble both ways. He was trying to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: get double dip.
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: Why should run Washington go? Ron Washington scored zero runs
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: through the first twenty five outs of the game. They
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: were losing three to one. Kakuchi, he did fine, Ron Washington.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Ain't the hitting coach. Beat it hitting coach. If you're
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: firing people like, relax, they're gonna come out today and
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: win and beat the White Sock So you'll be fine.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you think they'll recover and win this series?
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, we know where he's going to that.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: There, there's an Orioles Blue Jays series going on. Let's
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: table that part of the discussion. Krats The biggest l
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: from yesterday the MLBA dot tv app and games outages.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Early on they were running the wrong intro for one
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: of the games. Then for me late night this didn't
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: get a lot of coverage. But I'm a diehard. I'm
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: on that thing every day just about right. I'm watching
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: games either on there or on one of the apps
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: that has games for whatever particular team I'm looking for.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: And what happens every ten minutes, it just scrolls you
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: back to the beginning of the game automatically. Oh no,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: like really, I gotta switch and go back to Live
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: every ten minutes. So perfectly put together meme here by
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: our fearless Twitter leader Michael.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, they had how long to get this right?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I's only one open Yeah, that's true. You only have
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: one opening day, man, So if I'm a fan, I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: frustrated and understandably you got to be able to fix
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: this and get after it here an opening day that's tough.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: That's unacceptable.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, that should have had some uh people tweeting about
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: that or exing about that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: There are tons.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it took over for the first hour or so
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: of opening day. That was the problem. And they want
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to run crats all of the teams. So we have
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I think they have five. Maybe I'm like, let's hold
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: our horses here. You can't cut employees and then add teams.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Bad.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: But they already got their yearly subscriptions so they don't care.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: And they show a mini injury suck here during the break,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: William Hendrix goes down for.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Right Fifteenji l It's okay. The guy is coming off
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: of quite a significant last three years of injuries off injuries,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: Tommy John, It's okay. You want this guy full boat.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: They got the bullpen loped down. If they score like
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: they did the other day, you don't need Liam right away.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: But he's gonna be a good insurance policy when he
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: comes back fully healthy. And he knows when he's fully healthy.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Will Yard Brady was a one man wrecking machine for
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Boston yesterday and that Texas wain. I don't know if
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: we'll get time for it, I mean, for the Red
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Sox went over Texas. I think we will. Actually, we're
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: going to talk about it more. Actually in the next
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: break stee right, the Ump Show is back. The Marlins
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: walked off the Pirates yesterday. But wait, there was a
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: questionable call Bill Miller, Oh, Colin balls and strikes yesterday
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: and everyone was shaking their head and actually everyone was
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: trying to tap their head. But we were like, nope,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: that's not until next year the abs challenge system.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So here it is one two oh oh bye. I'm fortunate.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Break for Dane Myers.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Can he make him pay lines?
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Set feel the patent for Myers?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Here comes the low pez.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: We're tied on opening day. There you go, Kratz, there's
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: your boy. That's a strike, and then you get an
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: extra life and you come through. Good for Dane Myers,
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: but bad call.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: Bag call, I get it. You know Joey Joey Bart
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: caught it well. You know he moved the glove. Analytics
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: would say he moved the glove well, but if you
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: watch the video, he actually moves his whole body and
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: moves the glove. Well. To me, I think that's what
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: lost it for him, and he lost me two hundred
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: and seventy four bones on my lock?
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Are you saying anything to Bill Miller after that cratzy.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: After he gets the hit. Yeah yeah, not after the pitch,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: because dudes miss him after he get it's the hit.
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: Oh man, I am so pissed. I am so pissed.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: There's there's one Brian Knight called a ball on Cody
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: Bellinger in eighteen, and Cody the next pitch hits a
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: grand slam. He Brian Knight called every single pitch a
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: strike the rest of the game. I think it was
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: maybe my best framing game of all time, but we
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: were already down by four runs by that time. I
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: was so pissed and he knew he missed the call.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: That's the other hard part is you get pissed because
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: your team is now well, in their case, tied up
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: or in our case, we're losing by four and he
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: knows he missed it, and so you sit there and
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: you're like, he knows he missed it. Ah, Like what
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: am I supposed to say?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Let him know right away, dude.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Right we're in the pitcher, we're about to throw to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: first because the enning's all with You're like, hey, where
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: you got that one?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Dude? That's strike three? You know, Miller.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Miller's a fisty guy back there. But at the end
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: of the day, Now, when the guy gets the hit,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: you're like, thank you.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I would have to say something.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's when you get it, That's when you let it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: That's when you let it eat. I'm letting it eat.
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: But I'm never I'm not turning around and yelling at him.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: I'm letting it eat ahead of time. And Bill Miller
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: is not the most talkative during game off the field. Awesome,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: super talkative on the field. No, nope, mess it yeah, nope.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: It wasn't there borderline and you're like, I don't say
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: something more.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: I don't want to overreact. But I think we all
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: know that Pittsburgh needs every win that it can get.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: You have Paul Skins opening day, Sandi al Contra looked
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: really good too, right, It wasn't that. I mean, I
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: think they basically canceled each other out right, Yeah, five
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and a third from Schemes to earn run seven punchouts
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: and four and two thirds from al Contra to earn
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: run seven strikeouts. But still Skien's day. No team that
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: didn't do anything as usual for the most part in
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: the off season. They do have a good starting staff
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: this is not good. And actually did I say it
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: to you, Danny yesterday? I was like worried about the bullpen.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to put it all on one pitch.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: But Holderman does blow the save. Bednar was not good
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: yes or last year. Yesterday gives up the walk off
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: hit to Sours. So here we go again. It's just
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: not the way you want to start things off for
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: a team that actually usually starts off hot.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Well, it's not good for the Pirates to lose the
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Paul Skiing start, but especially not good for Derek Shelton
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: and his you know, job security. He's a guy that's
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: been around for a few years with the Pirates and
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: just kind of, you know, trying to get them through this.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: But if they're not winning Paul Skien starts, you're in trouble.

• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I think this is your five or six that he's
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: running the team. Isn't he on the hot seat just
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: as much as the manager?
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I couldn't. I couldn't have. I mean, when you get
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: the when you get the Pirates job, you you you
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: pick some you pick somebody from a Latin country, from
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: Theminican Republicans saying, well, you know these guys, they don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: make it to the big leagues till you know, at
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: least six years, and you're just you're paving your road
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: for that five to six year plan. You know, oh,
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: five to six years out, we're gonna be good. Ben Cherrington,
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: you've been there a minute now. I think this is
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: actually his sixth or seventh year, if I'm not mistaken,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: six or seventh season. But either way, didn't do enough.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I think last offseason he had a good offseason in
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: a pirate sense where he was going out and getting
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: little supmental pieces that could give them some depth. Hey,
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: you know what, it didn't work out. They lost ten
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: straight after the trade deadline or like leading up the
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: trade deadline, and they didn't trade. You know, they're raw
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: of this Chapman. We didn't agree with it, but hey,
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: you know he pushed in. Now you start doing that
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: kind of stuff, you got to you gotta push, you
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: gotta keep pushing, you gotta you can't just keep adding
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: the you know, the veteran pieces there that you got
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: to make something happen. Trade from some of your prospect
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: depth and make a player happen that comes in and
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: is a difference maker.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Hold on, they didn't do anything last year at the deadline,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: they just did nothing. I mean they added what Brian
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Dala cruise, I mean Isaiah Connor fileff Okay, okay, I'm
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: just making sure like they didn't sell, which was fine,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: but were you going for it or you were just
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: cruising through the rest of the season.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: He went up my set. What I meant was he
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: went on his path. He's like, we're gonna keep Eroaldis Chapman,
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: We're gonna add Connor Philip for next year. The Brian
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: Dayla cruise thing, I have no idea. I mean, they
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: def hate him, but there was no four shadowing for
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: planning there. It was just we just did it. To me,
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: that was their plan, and to me, if you're gonna
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: if you're gonna say, well, I got a five year plan.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: That was a bold move in the Pirates landscape of
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: player development, because it's nothing compared to what to me,
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: I think they need to do. But it's also like
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: that was their bold move. So you put yourself in
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: the hot seat, which gms don't ever want to do.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: GM's are always saying five years out. We always got
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: these guys in low. Ah. This class is unbelievable. Baba
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Chandler he's gonna be so awesome. He is. But you
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: need this team to start playing together now because Paul
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Skeene's clock, just like Marissa Tomay said, my biological clock
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: is ticking.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Well, they used to call it a five year plan.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's an eight year plan over there. All right,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: let's go to Seattle. So that was a fun game.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I got to check most of that one out. It
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: was the Tyler schudershrom show for a little bit too.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: He had a couple of home runs in this one. Y. Yeah,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: it was looking like a classic Mariners game for a while.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert was great. Looks like a Cy Young contender.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Some of us picked him for Cy Young this year.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: It's one nothing late. They did score late. They also
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: had a really tough play where, uh, there was a
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: bunch attempt from I think it was Roblaze.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Did you see this play?
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: And then Ryan Bliss was chugging home he scores because
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: some people thought there was contact with the bat, there wasn't,
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: so it was just missed by Sodershum here comes Bliss
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: scores tying run with who he popped up? You never
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: touched the home plate.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You see this too often now you teach us at
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the little league level. When you slide that front foot,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: it's got to come down. But sometimes when you slide, boom,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: the heel hits and it pops up. That was the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: easy one there, I mean there was. This is why
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: baseball is the best board in the world. I tell
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: people this all the time. Game of interes and you
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: don't know how to slide? Did they do that in
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: spring training? We do it all the time. Get that
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: front foot down.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Pitchers used to practice sliding too when they were allowed
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: to hit. They also made us put our hands way
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: up like this, and I never see a guy sliding
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: like this, So yeah, you.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: See people sliding in there.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: It's popping up all the time, and that's when usually
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: the middle infielders keep their their glove on the guy
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: it bumps up.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: One atch, you're out dragon throw. Well, they ended up
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: getting laid offense, so they did winn. Randy Rose Arena
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: had a home run and a really epic batspike. There's
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Julio Rodriguez entering the ballpark with Old U. He was
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: using his Adidas clets as a phone, which hey, I
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: mean it worked out for him. He was styling the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: cleats were awesome by the way too. But this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: a big year for him. He's been off the slow
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: starts in the past. His teammates picked up the pace
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: yesterday late. Like I mentioned, it was Randy and Kratz.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: It was also Jorge Polanco, who they did retain right
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: he was a free agent this year.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: They kept him.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Three for three, get a big two run home run
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: to center field for the dub.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Guess the balls flying. I guess the balls flying and
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: they and they straightened out the batter's eye. It was
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: the same. But Luk who got the game winning run?
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Or was it the game winning run because it wasn't
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: a walkof JP Crawford was all over this game. JP
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: Crawford was making plays. He was to me when he's healthy.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: Obviously you have the captain behind a dish. Obviously you
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: have the every year Julio should be a rookie, I mean,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: a MVP candidate. JP Crawford anchoring shortstop me. He's got
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: that energy. You see him after the game, everybody's kind
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: of crowding around him. He just got that. He's he's
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: just he's just got it. He's he's him, He's him
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: for that team. I think.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: More than Julio.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: I think because of the energy that he brings. I
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: think Julio is the best player. I think he has
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: the highest ceiling. I think Cal is the steadiest rock
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: on that team. I think your shortstop you look at,
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: you look at really good teams. Shortstops have that, teams
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: that have that alpha male, and obviously this pitching staff
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: is the alpha male on the tired in the entire league.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: But Jp, to me, just brings something and he's matured
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: ever since they gave him that contract. I think it
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: was five years sixty or something. It almost felt like
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: he looked like he was he was like, Okay, I'm here,
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: this is my place. Let's go boys, And he's missed
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: some time, and I feel like the team kind of
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: suffers when he's not in there, obviously, as any team
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: would when you don't have a big lead shortstop playing
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: your position. Not saying Dylan Moore is not a big
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: lead shortstop. He's not JP Crawford, and I think he's
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: a guy that kind of gets an engine going.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, five years fifty one was that extension a few
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: years ago? I think it was opening day of twenty
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: twenty two, so that play that Crawford made end the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: game last night too. Was was ridiculous.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: To sprint on that little chopper and to be able
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to get Lawrence Butler before he got by him and
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: still complete the double play.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: That's huge, and I mean not many guys can do.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: That at.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're built on what they've got up the middle.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: So good for the Mariners they start. Want to know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna read this quote from Dan Shaughnessy and the
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Boston Globe. In a refreshing burst of innocence, Alex Cora,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Red Sox manager revealed that when he told Christian Campbell
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: he was making the big league club, Campbell asked his manager, quote,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Who's going to be my roommate?
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Really funny? That is funny. Where's the veteran guys that
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: letting him know?
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I think is coming up?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: I think he was trolling them? Roommate? Y'all talk about
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: that all the time. Kreak Campbell, he was a stun
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: in the minor leagues. He probably didn't even live with
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: anybody in the minor leagues. No, he ain't got no roommate.
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: But it is an idea because I know a lot
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: of guys really like roommates, and so they would get
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: joining rooms and they'd open the center door and just
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: yell at each other as long as the other dude
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: doesn't like me. I couldn't be a roommate with somebody
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: in the big leagues. I snored too much.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Well, I did have a roommate in the big leagues
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: when I first got called up, because you had to
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: and I had to do. Well was thankfully it was
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: only for a couple of months. But Brian Giles was
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: my roommate. Oh that's a big boy roommate, right, talented roommate.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: I got to watch him shave his body every day.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Now you're going to clean this up?
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Wait, so what happened? Did they get rid of it
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: soon after that?
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I think it was the next year Player Association put
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: it in that we couldn't have roommates.
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: Okay, hmmm, we always talk what about why do they
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: have the CBA? Oh, thank you Danny Graves for the
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: CBA getting changed that we don't have to have a
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: roommate and grown men don't we need to share a
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: room in the ritz?
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Right, and especially back then there was no cell phone,
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: so we had to share the one phone.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Wow, right, I got the hotel phone to make the
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: phone call to fam.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who gets to pay for the long distance call
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: at the end of the road trip.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're a dinosaur. You're a dinosaur.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: Danny ninety eight years old. Yeah, that was something for me.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Said first. Better than box Scores of the year, Tiger's
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Dodgers was awesome, really good, feeally good. They obviously were
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: doing all the big stuff beforehand to celebrate the.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Title with the home crowd.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Then the game was back and forth star power. It
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: was fun and also a flashback from last playoffs because
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: you had Tommy Tanks Tommy Edmond with a homer. Suddenly
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: he's a home run hitter with the Dodgers. It's crazy.
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: The oscar and ed has had a huge homer late.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Of course, sho Hey had the massive home run that
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: made it what five to three in the bottom of
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: the seventh, so technically that was the one that put
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: him over the top. You had Scooble against Snell making
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: his debut with the Dodgers. That had it all man.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: That was really fun.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: And the Tigers probably should have won that game. They
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: were I think at one point they were one for
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: thirteen with the runners in scoring position. It could have
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: been a lot worse too, as well. Snell got his
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: way out of a couple of gams. Uh Tokosen made
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: a bad base running mistake at third base when the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: ball got nubbed right in front of home plate, was
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: gonna go to first, Snell told him to go to third.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Gotten a quick rundown out. Just a couple of mistakes
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: by the Tigers. If they they limit half of that,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: they might have won that game.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Danny, Yeah, it was almost like no chance to win though,
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: when ice Cube shows up before the game and he's
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: hanging out with the lineup bringing the World Series trophy.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: You really have no chance when ice Cube shows up.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: It was a great game.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: I think the Dodgers had a great game plan against
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Scooball Scooble broke some bats, broke Show Hayes bat before
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: the homer, but he only struck.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Out two batters.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: They they know that Scoobale is in the strike zone,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: so they were attacking pitches early in the strike zone.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: So it was a great game plan game.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I thought was gonna be a lot of punchies. This
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: homer by Show Hey, like, this is a homer, that
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: righty's that righty's hit like it looked like like the
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: ball just was rocket to go to the opposite field. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: love that homer, and I love Torkelsen's homer. Torkleson getting
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: walked three times, this dude was ticketed for triple A
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: was all the talk. There's no spot. He comes out
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: and gets an opportunity versus a lefty hits a dinger
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: on a pitch way in off by Vessia that he
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: kept fair and three walks. To me, that's a you
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: can't have much of a better first day in the
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: big leagues when they were talking about possibly optioning you
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: to triple A before the season, but I couldn't believe
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: there wasn't more strikeouts. If you tell me to pick
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: the over in the game, it's gonna be Snell and
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Derek Skubele to have over. Whatever the strikeouts were gonna
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: be in I think they each have two because those
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: dudes are gonna be double digit k all year long.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I think if you're a Tigers fan, you should be like, Okay,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: this could be a really good year. You lost by
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: a run to the best team in baseball. They're missing
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: some outfielders right now, including Parker Meadows. He had actually
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: a guy like Manny Margo who's just picked up with
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: a nice game. But here's the biggest thing for Tigers fans,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: because this is unexpected if it happens. Spencer Torkelsen was
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: on fire yesterday and he was seeing the zone great.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: He's got a new swing that was showed off yesterday
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: to three walks in the game yesterday plus a homer
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: and a good one four walk. Sorry I shorted him
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: one walk, four walks yesterday plus a homer. Former first
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: overall pick. At this point you're looking at him and
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: saying bust. But he's still young, and he was humbled,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: especially this offseason by the moves that they made to
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: pick up Labor Torres, move Cole Keith over to first.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: He's trying out anything he can do. He's like, I'll
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: play obviously first. H outfield time now for him too,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, if he looks like I
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: want to say, a star, But if he looks like
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: a different player and even a shell of what we
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: thought he was going to be, it completely changes the
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: dynamic of the lineup for me.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: I get it. One game.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: I'm sounding like I'm overreacting, but he looked different.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: He certainly looked different, especially the last at bad against
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Blake Trinon and Tryon's got that filthy sweeper and Torklesen
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: spit on those pitches and ends up getting a walk
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: to extend the inning. But just he looked completely last year.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: That would ate him up, and kudos for him.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It's hard to change when you're already established as a
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: major league hitter. But going through struggles and saying, you
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: know what, let me change my approach, let me change
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: my path, it looked pretty darn good. He looked so smooth,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: nice and slow. His lower half was so slow to
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: the ball, and he let his hands work. It was
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: nice to watch.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Did you see on the broadcast they showed the line, Yeah,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: of his perfectly Yeah, yeah, well I don't know body struck.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you didn't see that grounds the money, I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: didn't see it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: No, they were showing the difference and and how they
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: felt like he was off mechanically.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: More center of the hitter.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Like he was leaned over, or he was more upright
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: or something.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Well, on the actual home run at the point of contact,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: how his body wasn't like off centered where one part
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: is going too much forward. His head's not centered over
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: his body.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: It was like a standing behind the ball.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, perfectly straight line.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: Scott, you love ops plus after that game by Torkilsen.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: What do you think his ops plus plu was after
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: one game?
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I would say three fifty.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: One and ninety three was his is his ops plus
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: now he's.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Leading stop the rest of the season.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Just walk outdoped the mic.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: So there you go. If you ever wondered what op
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: yes plus really means, there it is.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: It means they love you, they love them some walks
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: and Homer and nothing else out at all. Yeah, I
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: wait on that staff for about a month. But still
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I was a big performance. But I like that though.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I'm glad you look that up for me. All right,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: let's get to the White Sox again. I know we
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: touched on them for a moment, but I really want
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: to show the Will Venable celebration that we had too.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: So the Angels got beat up by the White Sox
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: and Venable gets his first win as manager. Some people online,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: of course, are like, oh, this is too much. I'm like, no,
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: it's not. I mean, you guys know when a dude
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: gets his first hit or any big moment right a picture,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: gets what his first win or something like that. You
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: throw a part, you throw baby powder, catch up. Yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: it's a little party. It's like, hey, you made it
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: and you're doing things. So they've done this for managers before.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: The White Socks are just going to catch the brunt
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: of jokes because of what they experienced last year.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And obviously it's.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Not going to be a good team.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be a playoff team.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: But when you went on opening day and Will Vena,
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Will gets his first crack as manager and gets it up,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: yeah you party.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You should one hundred. Listen.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: You're a first time manager. You've been, you've played, you're
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: a third base coach, you're a first base coach, and now,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you get your first win when
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: everybody's expecting this team to just.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: Tank the whole year and not be that good.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: You celebrate as much as you can, and you stay
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: in that locker room as long as you can too,
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: and then you give your wife or whoever your significant
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: others are hugs and kisses. But you get the the scorecard,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you get everything, and you make a nice little mantle
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: out of it.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: I mean they were supposed to lose one hundred and
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: sixty two, so he's already beat that, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Then when we watched this last night at home at supper,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: I think it was at supper that my kids watch it,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: and my boys go, what did they do for your
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: first hit? Because they were like, well, that's weird. Do
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: they always do that? Like, oh, yeah, you take them,
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: you take them in the shower, you dump mayonnaise, mustard, gatorade,
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: baby powder, shampoo, anything you can dump on them. So
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: it's a fun celebration. And my buddy, my sons go,
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: what did they do for your first big league hit?
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: And I was like, we weren't a very good team.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: And I specifically remember it's a long walk from the
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: dugout all the way up to the clubhouse in Pittsburgh.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: There was guys. As I was coming into the locker
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: room showering to already showered and leaving. There was no celebration.
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: There's and my son's like, oh that is so sad, Dad,
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: maybe we should have a celebration for you now. I
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: was like, no, thank you, but do you have the ball?
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: I do, and normally like some teams they do, like
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: a ball and a bat, like in like a nice
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: case hold boomed, Scottie Bonet wrote, wrote on my ball
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: for me, and so I still have it.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: But you didn't get the fancy souped up gift for it.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: No, I gotta I got the lineup card as Diaz
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: gave me his lineup card, and I think the bench
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: coach gave me. Yeah, Gary Varshow gave me his lineup card.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: They stacked him on my on my care so that
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: could take them home. Like some teams they put together
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: like the whole, like plaque and like three D case
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff that plays a continuous loop of
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: your first hit.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Ever, No, well we have we have some video evidence
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: of Venable partying here it is.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: Hey, thank you guys, a lot more to come, way
• 37:45
  Speaker 6: to go, dude, thank you man.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: That's cool. That's awesome.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Good things young and good to get out of that bat.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, ketchup mustard mayonnaise, not hot sauce.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: That was that was coin. That was coin.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: That's nice little league vibes, but in a good way.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: They all still they all still want playing times. So
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: nobody's dumping mayonnaise on the amazed on how young the
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: White Socks are. They might be doing this every night.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: They might be just running through stuff. You know, any
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: young team, the Marlins, they're just pushing guys in the
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: shower all the time.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: All right, lastly, let's get to the Braves falling to
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: the Padres.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: So Atlanta looked good.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Early Braves fans, including our Hammer Territory hosts, were very
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: critical of the bullpen usage by Brian Snicker, which included
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Hector Nary's in a big spot. They didn't like how
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Dave spell Hernandez wasn't used, and they talked about it
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: in the off season as a reason why they didn't
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: go after another big gun reliever. They're like, well, then
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: why are you using him in the big Scott Coleman
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: of Hammer Territory tweeted Snicker's gonna use Naries over a
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: day spell or Bummer in a one run game after
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the team had six months off, It's just awesome. So
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: later says, Hey, this guy who was available in March
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: on a minor league deal and got one strikeout in
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: three spring training appearances, Let's make him our seventh inning
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: setup men. On the very first day of the season.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: So they fall seven to four on opening day. They
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: also went zero for seven with runners in scoring position.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: They left ten on days right, they scored four. They
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: didn't score ten. But there was, you know, a very
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: large critical base of fans about how they use their bullpen. Yesterday,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Kratz is shaking his head. I think Snicker said after
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: the game something along the lines of, hey, it's seven
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: games in a row, Padres and Dodgers. They're gonna have
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: to spread it out. Can't use all the big guns
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: at once. The Hammer hosts said, that's cool, but let's
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: win game one. If you're there and you're winning, and
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: even later in the game then they're losing. They bring
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: in Grant Holmes, who's gonna start, I guess in a
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: few days. So what are you puzzled about.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: I'm puzzled about, Like Hector Narius isn't good just because
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: you picked him up part way through March, Like you
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: picked him up to be a piece of your bullpen.
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: You needed a dude to come in. That was his lane.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: I know, I've said it twice now. That was his
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: lane in the lineup, And like, don't like one strikeout
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: in three spring training innings. I was just compiling some
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: stats here. Matt Olsen hit one eighty four in spring training,
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: Austin Riley hit two sixty one. So are we are
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: we benching those guys? Are we moving them down in
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: the lineup? Stop? You didn't have six months to prepare
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: for this game. You came out, you put the best
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: players out there. Brian Sinecker is taking this team to
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: a World Series. This was gonna be my over over reaction. Oh,
• 40:50
  Speaker 5: we don't have defined roles. Look around baseball, nobody has
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: to find roles. The Dodgers three and zero, they don't
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: know who's gonna close because everybody can. Hector Narius is
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: gonna be a big part of this bullpen. I mean
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: they have Pierce Johnson, they have you know, they have
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: Aaron Bummer, they have they have so many pieces. They
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: have Rice Iglesias, they have they have a lot down there.
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: It's okay, They're gonna be fine. Going to Hector Narius
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: was not a bad call. It didn't work out.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Hector Naris has over six hundred career games pitching the
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: big leagues with a three to three something e er.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: The dude has been successful in those roles. I don't
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: see a problem bringing him in.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the seventh, it was the seventh, Dinny. But I'm
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: gonna go on the other side. I know you guys
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: are with He's got two pitches, okay, yeah, fastball and
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: that's what right, right, Eric, If I'm mistaken, split Chames
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: and fastball, he's been good. But I mean, for me
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: from recently, I don't know if you put him in
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: that situation, he's he's not a guy that has anything else.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: You sit on one pitch and hopefully you get it. So again,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I do hear where the rights guys are coming from.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it's that big of a deal.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, he's got to find a
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: mix and match one to put him in.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: He's not that guy anymore. In my opinion, I.
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: Disagree he's in that bullpen to get you big outs.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: He got hurt. To me, if you want a second,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: get something, he got hurt on a heater up in
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: the zone. Like Hector Narrys doesn't throw heaters for strikes.
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: He doesn't throw splitters for strikes. And yet he has
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: what did you say, Danny? Six hundred appearances with a below.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: A three three era it's three yep, yep.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: He's had two pitches since he came out the womb.
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: He's he doesn't he doesn't throw any more pitches. He's
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: just a straight top to bottom guy, and he gets
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: those swings and misses. He left a fastball flat in
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: the zone up and he never his fastball. Even when
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: he was like ninety seven to ninety eight, his fastball
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: wouldn't get by guys. It was just the fear of
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: that because that splitters almost like fork sometimes it almot
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: is like a forkball where it just drops off the
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: table and it's tough to it's tough to keep in
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: his own but dude just keeps swinging and he keeps pitching.
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Also, the Braves knocked out Michael King pretty early and
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: make it through the third inning. The Braves are gonna
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: be fine, Okay. And I said this. I was on
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: a radio station this morning talking about the Braves. They're
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: about to face more Padres and then Dodgers to start
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: the season, and it's seven games in a row. Don't
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: be surprised if they return home two and five and
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: don't care.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: They're going to be good. They just happen to be
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: going through a gauntlet right away to start the year.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Dodgers are totally feeling themselves and they're healthy. Usually there's
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: problems as the year goes on for them. Padre is
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: the same thing. They're a little bit thinner this year.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: But Jackson Merrill four RBIs he looks like he's going
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: to be a stud again, just like he was last year.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Tatist was a big story too. He stole two bags.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: He didn't steal two bags in one game all of
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: last year. And he's fast and he spoke postgame and
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: it sounds like krats. You better check out a little
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: over under on the stolen basis for Fernando Tatis, because
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: apparently he went from one leg to two.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Be the quote.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: That's the first time I saw it. When I saw
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: the quote today, I was like, I didn't know about
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't about that, and I forget who it was.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: Was it profar was profar On talking about how like
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: Acunya Tatus Soto like he put Tatis, whoever it was
• 44:35
  Speaker 5: I was talking about it put Tatis in a category.
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know, like I don't know
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: if he's in that category, but if he was, literally
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: did what he did last year on one leg, Like
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: if he was if he was grinding through something, there's
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: another gear. There's another gear for that dude, Because maybe
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: he could be the electric player that we saw when
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: he first came up. He had that, he had that
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: little break that he took for a little bit of
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: a good good And yeah, maybe he's mature. Maybe he's
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: got his body healthy now. And two bags two bags
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: in one game and zero multi stolen based games all
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: of last year. So that's a telling sign.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Here, it is he goes. I mean last year I
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: was standing on one leg. You can really see how
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: healthy I am right now. It's a huge part of
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: my game, one of my favorite parts of the game.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: I really missed it. They're gonna let him run loose
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: a little bit, That's what I was saying about the Padres.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at this lineup.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: If you think Tatis is Tatis, I mean that's an
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: MVP candidate.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: He went three for four, scored a couple times yesterday.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: Obviously, I'm a big fan of Luisa Rise and the
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: kind of difference that he makes in a lineup because
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: he's such a contact king. Of course, he didn't strike
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: out yesterday, I didn't do anything, but he had an
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: RBI machado. If he's feeling better, because remember last year,
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: especially in the first half of the year, he was
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: still coming back from big surgery. Bogarts should at least
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: still be an average bat, if not a little bit better.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, they expect more from him.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Now you're already down to Jackson Merrill, who I mean
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: could be an MVP candidate.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: He's that good. I'm just saying this lineup is pretty good.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Obviously, she said the big home run late and he
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: moves away from the White Sox. So the Padres were
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: went away from taking down the Dodgers and probably winning
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: the World Series. They lost the guys, but not everybody.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's true, it's true.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: I just I feel like they got kicked this offseason
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: by some people in their lists. They're like, oh, you know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: they're looking at our predictions yesterday even or just our
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: power rankings, like I had him in my top ten
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: power ranks, and people I got watched baseball like I
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: watched baseball and I saw them almost beat the best
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: team in baseball last year.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have them making the playoffs too. Do
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: I think the Dodgers will win the division, of course,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: but yes, they have a squad man and they play
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: and now Tatis is healthy. I mean, look out, King
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: didn't have his best outing yesterday. He's still going to
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: be a really good pitcher and they're ready to rock Man.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: So watch out for them to make a move. Beating
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: a good Braves team. That's a really good start. They
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: got a couple more to go.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: You also had Profar returning to San Diego and that
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: was cool. That was a big deal for him. Kratz
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: to not only put the season together that he did
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: last year and completely change generations of family with the
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: money that he made with that contract. Right, he was
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: coming off of one year, one million dollar deal there
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: it is. I mean, he was one step away from
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: being out of the game, and now look at him.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: A big signing for the Braves. He wanted to return
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: to the Padres, they were not going to be able
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: to offer him that much based on budgeting, and he
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: gets a really, really nice ovation. If he's on your team,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: he is really fun to root for.
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: It yeah, one hundred percent, and he was he was
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: their team last year. To come out and do that's
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: that's where I have the Padres out of the top ten.
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Where are they going to get enough depth from their
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: starting pitching and how are they going to be able
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: to make up for what he provided? Is somebody gonna
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: step up? Is is Jackson Merrill going to have the
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: same season plus what Profar did? And to me, you know,
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: he was in the middle of some scrums like that
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: play where they you know, he got I think it
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: was the Nats got pissed off because they walked the guy.
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: They walked somebody in front of him and then he
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: got the walk off hit. That's the kind of stuff
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: that brings teams together. Who's going to make make up
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: for the production on the field that he left? But
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: also that energy?
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Yep, and you think about this guy too as well.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Like before last year, you know he was he was
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: a good player, but he wasn't he bet on himself.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: You know what was it?
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: A one year, one million dollar contract and all of
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: a sudden he comes out and tears it up. Good
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: for him, good moment for him and his family too
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: as well. This is awesome And to see the crowd
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: cheer for him like that. He had an impact not
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: only with the team, but with the city as well.
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, good player, really really good on bass. Guy very good.
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: And he raised his average ex of velocity, his average
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: ex of velocity by five mile per hour.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Wow, which is insane.
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: Which is insane at that point in your career. I
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: don't know how you.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Do that, That is true.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Probably went down a weight size and bat.
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: Is that what it was? He went higher, he went
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: a longer and heavier bat, and so he just started hitting.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Longer and longer and shorter, longer.
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: Shorter, darker, and lighter bat. Yes, two tones, flame tempered bats.
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: And he was taking he was taking a bone and
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: boning down the bat, That's what it.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Was, and not the knob was not there anymore. And
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: do that with your hands.
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: Don't do that with that.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: All right, let's slap. We're gonna go over matchups for tonight.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: But first, I actually really want to know what is
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: Crafts wearing today?
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: What do you guess?
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: Take a guess before I spin it around?
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Pirates?
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: I think that would be too easy. Yeah, what about
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Rwards where it's.
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: Got the yellow and I'm going I'm going Padres yellow
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: and brown.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe Arizona can't be the pirates. Oh, I think you're right, nice,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: very nice.
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: So it is so clean. If I had some yellow Jordan's,
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: I would rock these Jones with this hat. It's a
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: clean hat.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: Let's tell you what four crats is on that picture.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: That's that's scary. Yeah, that's a lot of crats.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: There's a minimal hair.
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: All right, let's go over matchups. Anything stand out for
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: this evening. So I think for the Rangers, I mentioned
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: how Tanner Hawk's pitching on the red Sox side, we
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: get Jack Lighter cracking the open rotation as well.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Pick it up.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it hasn't been a smooth ride to this path.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: At one point, he was, if not the best past
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: whatever pitcher in college baseball. Road's like, oh, this guy's
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: gonna be fast to the bigs. It's taking some time.
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: So we'll see.
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: If you know, he did things in the off season
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: in spring training that'll lead to more success here he needs.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: This is a big year for him, big year, Cratzy, Sorry,
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: this is let's see what he's touted to be. He's
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: a very good ballplayer. Let's see what the adjustments he made.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: I know Big Al's gonna probably be there supporting them.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: Go out there and just be who you are, find
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: his own throw strikes. You're not going to overpower these guys.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: You gotta find a way to manipulate the zone on
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: them and focus on what you can control and let
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: your catcher call a really good game.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: If we can get an explanation of why the Rays
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: and Rockies didn't play on opening Day, today's their opening day. Yay.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Someone must have been going on at George Steinbrenner Field,
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: but they.
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: Had a birthday party. They couldn't have the game because
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: they didn't think anybody was gonna be playing there because
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: it's a mighty league park.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: True, it is very true.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: We're gonna see the first game of the year here
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: at a minor league park. Ryan Pepio pitching for the
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: Rays against Kyle Freeland. Weird, weird, but packed. It'll be
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: sold out. They're gonna do really well on attendance. Their
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: percentage of ballpark filled is going to be maybe highest
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: in baseball because they've been waiting to go to games
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: and not sit through an extra hour of traffic across
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: the causeway. It's true, yeah, very true. So easy to
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: get to that place. It's a game changer for me too.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: AJ and me. We did not get to a race
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: game last year because we always would look the show ends,
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: we want to get there a little early, and we're like,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: by the time we leave, we're not gonna get there
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: until after first pitch. So this year it's gonna happen. Especially,
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: they're gonna be some history.
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: But the fans are gonna be sweating like milky compared
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: to drum Test. Like it's gonna be so hot that's
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: being driven, like it's gonna suck.
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: Gratz is on fire today. It's right, you're right, not
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: yet though it's actually gorgeous right now. It's like a
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: good eighty in July. Get back to me and we'll
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: go over things, all right. A couple others that stand
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: out before we go. Jeffrey Springs is making his A's
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: debut in that matchup against the Mariners, and then the
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: night clarity against Yamamoto Tigers Dodgers Round two.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Sign me up.
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really good.
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
