• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Ft in the summer.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It's that time of year where people are going to
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: be in places. KP is in a place Aircrats is
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: visibly in a unique location today.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Krats. Is that a press box?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: It is a press No, not a press box. It's
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: a tower, a tower overlooking like a clover leaf.
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: Type of John Oh.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: It's great baseball everywhere, high quality baseball too these days.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: At the end of the tournament, it gets better.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: And if anyone wants to leave KP, they have the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: three sixty view in the tower to make sure that
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: nobody leaves the grounds.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: No quitters today.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Hey, is your air conditioning in that tower?
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: By any chance?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Good Assis deals for the air conditioning, because I would
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: be sweating. I would be sweating like Francisco Survelli at
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: a drum test right now if I was sitting down
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: in the Georgia heat.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And you can insert that name with many many others.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Actually, real quick, did you hear Brian Anderson on the
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: race broadcast the other day?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I wanted the TEXTBA so bad, but I didn't have
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: his number when he said that, just a this is
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: large shout out. He had a Max Kapler hit a
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: fly ball to center field. Right to the track, right
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: the wall, caught and then he goes eighty games ago.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: That would have been a homer too soon.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Never, No, that should be part of the lexicon. I
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: respect that. I really like it. Yeah, I mean it
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: is part of the game. We don't have to hide
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it. It shouldn't be awkward. It should just be like, hey,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: this person juiced up. They got caught. Now we can
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: make fun of it.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Do the crime you do the.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: Time exactly, and the time and the time is forever.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: You didn't until you can come out and tell me
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: it wasn't cream. That's right.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: No weird virus or any of that. Hey, we have
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a superhero graphic from an FT fan. I was just
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: scrolling through mentions. I was like, oh, this was fun.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Noah put this together on X sent it over to us.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It's the Foul Territory League crafts.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Any complaints zero, I mean, besides the fact that AJ
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: is not the Flash. Yeah, exactly, like I put in Twitter.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: But you have to know who I am. People are like,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: people are like, who.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Is the Green?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Why is Krats Green? The Martian Manhunter essentially put together
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: the Justice League. I mean, one time read a DC
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: comic he is shape shifting, teleportation and flying abilities, Like
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: what else? What else do I need to have as
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: a power legendary?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I love that KP.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: You're not on there because this fan was clearly a
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Dodger fan, so they included the Dodgers' Territory show. But
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: if any Bluebird fans want to get involved at some point.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Who would you be?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I think this is the most lay up question of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: all time.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, Superman is kind of the name that
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: I was given, but in it's kind of odd because
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I got it after robbing the home Run, so I
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: thought spider Man would have been more fitting. But the
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Superman name is kind of started in Toronto, It's kind
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: of followed me throughout my career. It's kind of cool though.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: My kids are starting to like be of age and
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: they understand that I used to be as someone not
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: just a media a personality. So and I do have
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: the Superman logo tattooed on my elbow, so every once
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: in a while my son will be like, where's where's
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: the Superman tattoo? Yes?
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Right here though, that's cool, that's so cool, that's so cool.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: When I when I was playing my kids were young,
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I played for the Phillies and somebody, I don't know
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: if it's called cgi'ed or they made a picture that
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: made my arm turn into like a like a laser
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and so it was me throwing a ball, but it
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was my laser arm. And my one son, he was
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: probably three or four, and he goes just in the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: middle of a meal with a bunch of people at
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: our house.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: He walks up to me.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: He goes, Dad on the laser arm, and it was
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: like the cutest thing ever because all he had seen
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: was the picture and he truly thought I had a
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: laser arm like a Transformer. Not DC comics, but a superpower.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: And that's how your kids see it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: That is cool. You can get away.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: You were naming.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: You were naming all those superpowers that your guy has.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: And before my kids started watching certain TV shows, I
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: wouldn't have known what some of those are. But those
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: are the hottest topics in my house every day, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: my kids are like, what superpower would you want? I'm like, well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: I answered that yesterday, the day before, the day before.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: That's the best. And nap time, those are the best.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: That's where you're at right now, nap time. Now I'm
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: in screen time land, So I gotta get him out
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: of screen time lane.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: That's not the.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Best, right You're trying to get some time for yourself,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: and then eventually you're trying to get time.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Back back with them with them.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, I got it, noted, Let's charge charge about what
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: happen been here in the Al East, KP. We're gonna
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: skip your Blue Jays for now since they got swept
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: over the weekend, but we'll start with the super sweep
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: four games for the Red Sox over the Yankees, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the Yankees offense looked like it needed Aaron Judge finally.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I mean, obviously the big story Sonny
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: yesterday kind of making his presence known, you know about
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: his dislike for the Yankees organization, almost throwing a no hitter.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean baseball. I mean, do you guys
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: do this every single day? Obviously I cover the Blue
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: Jays a little bit more I fill in on this show.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: But has this not been the strangest baseball season of
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: all time? Right now? There's legitimately like four or five
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: really good teams and then everything else is kind of
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: just mixed up. It makes it almost impossible to lay
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: out some bets because going into a series like this,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: the Yankees obviously one of the best teams in baseball.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: The Red Sox have really underperformed this year, and then
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: you get a four game sweep. So I don't really
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: even really know what to make of it anymore. It's
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: just the baseball. Well, you know, the parody in the
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: game right now is making it for a wild Wild
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: West right now.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Parody. There's no way, there's no way there's parody. There's
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: no way.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: There's a chance for everybody to win on every night.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: But my team will never win a World Series going
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: to the Red Sox. I think it's like eleven straight
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: quality starts in a row. This is all without Garrett
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Cochet to me that that was the biggest thing, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I think that's the biggest thing, with or without Aaron Judge.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I think in a team, a team starting pitching can
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: pitch to the Red Sox lineup. Yes, there's guys with
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: ridiculous stuff that can also pitch, but you don't need
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: to have guys that are just pumping ninety nine ninety
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: nine to be able to beat the Yankees. In my opinion,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: you have guys like you had last night with Sonny
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Gray and Sonny Gray was he was on one last night.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I mean I think he had like sixteen or twenty
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: first pitch strikes like it was rediculous. The fact that
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: he gave up a hit and a walk to I'm
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: at Rosario, like I'm at Rosario never walks. That was
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the anomaly of the game that he actually walked in
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: that game. But to me, you can pitch to the Yankees,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and if you can pitch those spots, you see what
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: happens really makes quick work of a team that is
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: a much better hitting team than what they showed. But
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: again they were pitched to not thrown two.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: All right, what are we working with this week?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Seek giving us some game previews so you can see
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: where you want to purchase a ticket to watch a
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: game on the app. Kratz always gives me an indicator here, KP,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Like your indicator is shaking.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Oh really okay? So krats you first and then KP
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: will follow.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, how can you not go to the poop game,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the Pirates versus the Phillies.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: It's the poop game. Anytime you get a team that's trying.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: To buy for first place, you know, the three games
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: back in the Phillies and the Pirates.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: They got a nice little arm on the mound too.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Braxton Ashcraft is mister consistency for this team that needs
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: that second, third, fourth eye in the rotation right now.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm a Homer. You know, I love my
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Toronto Blue Jays, but I would have loved to be
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: in the Rogers Center to night for Boba Sheet's return.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: That's a good ticket. That is a really good ticket. Yeah,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I know, you guys just re territory.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Yep, there you go.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Mitch Bannon put out an article that I think we're
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: going to get into tomorrow that regards return.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Did he mention it at all today? KP.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: We didn't talk about it. I mean, he told us
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: about the article, but he he dropped it after, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: our episode. But yeah, it's about guys kind of making
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: their returns. He went around the game asking guys what
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: it's like to come back to a place, and we
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: we did do a Mitch was gone at a wedding
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: during the Rangers series, so we did kind of preview
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: Bobashett's return today a couple of days ago, and I said,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: I think he gets emotional. I know, Bo's been a
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: very stoic guy. But I think everything that he's gone
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: through in his time in New York and then getting
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: a chance to come back to a place where he's
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: like really beloved and he's going to see a lot
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: of his you know, former teammates. He's going to be
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: on that left side of the diamond towards the Blue
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Jay's third base, Dugo. I know it meant a lot
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: to him playing there. You know, his career, he got drafted, developed,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: came up with that, he ultimately made the choice to leave.
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: He was a much better player than me. But I
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: remember when I got a chance to come back to Toronto,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: just the love that the fans gave me. And it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: going to be sold out tonight and he's going to
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: get a hell of a video and he meant a
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: lot to that organization.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're looking for a quick ticket there, I
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: mean it's sold out. So sea Geek is the spot

  Speaker 2: and have the code automatically added to your account so
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: that you can use it later, and there are other
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: games to check out too. Maybe you're in Seattle and
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: you want to watch George Kirby go for a non
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: piggyback Mariners rotation or selective piggyback rotation. Rodrigaz as a
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: low two Zra in Arizona. So plenty to choose from Kratz.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Did you hear what Anthony Rizzo said about Jazz Chisholm,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and you know he's on the broadcast on Sunday night.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Rizzo is not too far removed from being a part
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: of the Yankees. Jazz was booted from the game for
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: arguing a check swing call.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Was he right? I think so? I mean, I'll let
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: you guys decide.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: But even if you are right, you want to stay
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: in the game because then you get a cold player
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and a player not as good as you that has
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: to fill in. So Rizzo said, quote it shows a
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: little bit of immaturity for Jazz to get himself ejected.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Quote the team scuffling, they need him in the lineup,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: and now he puts Folpy in a tough position, coming
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in completely cold. Chris Kershner, who writes for the Athletics,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: said this is why in my opinion, it's not a
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: good look for Jazz to skip talking to the media.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Rizzo is still tight with many of the current Yankees,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: including Judge. Believe it or not, this stuff does matter
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. So the other piece of the puzzle
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: here is Jazz, who always always has fun with the media,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: decided to not speak with them afterwards.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: As we always go over in this show, everyone else
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: has to speak for you and handle that crats your
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: thoughts on all of this.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: That's the only distraction that it is. Somebody else has
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to do it, whether they want to or not, whether
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: they give any answers or not. Somebody else has to
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: be the guy that has to say, yeah, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: you know, you'll have to talk to Jazz or you
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: have to. And you always get those type of answers.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: And it's like if he would if he would stand up,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: if he would have stand up, stood up and spoken,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: he would have got on his side of it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: Bing bang, it's over. It's probably.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: But now he's got to come to the ballpark again
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: the next day and they'll approach it, or they'll approach
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: other guys, or he has to duck during the forty
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: five minutes that the media is in the locker room
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: before the game. Like, it's stuff that can be distracting,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: and you have to be an undistracting player or small
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: distractions player when you're looking to get over one hundred
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: million dollars in your free agent contract.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I think, you know, considering everything
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: Jazz said going into the season, talking about, you know,
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: wanting to be a forty to forty guy and holding
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: himself to this standard, and the best one of the
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: best players, if not the best player in the world,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: is out.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Of this lineup for a significant amount of time. It's
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: time for him to step up. So for Anthony Rizzo
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: to come out and call it immaturity, I would agree.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Obviously there's certain things he's done recently on the field
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: that would suggest some immaturity as well too. But you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: when you put your team in a situation like that
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: where you have to bring a guy off the bench
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: who's probably not the quality of player that you are,
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: he has to come into the game, Cole, But you're
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: also talking about a lineup that is struggling without Aaron Judge,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: it's your time to kind of put the team on
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: your back and then you decide after the first inning,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: your first at bat, that you no longer want to
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: be in this game anymore. Just is a level of
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: uh immature. And these are all the little things. You know,
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: we talked about Framber and what he did, and obviously
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: these are kind of different layers to it. But when
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: you are an impending free agent and you're looking to
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: you know, secure a huge bag, these are all the
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: little things that matter to front office. There's no doubt
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Jazz Chisholm has this level of talent that you know,
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: can be unmatched at sometimes the combination of speed and power,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: you know, the ability to play a great second base,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: some position of versatility. Obviously, the confidence, the belief, the swagger,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: these are all pluses. But when you talk about certain
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: things that he's been doing on the field recently, I
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: always tell people in this game, whether it's about going
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: into free agent and trying to make money, we're just
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: trying to keep your job in the big leagues. Don't
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: give people a reason to write you off. And right
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: now he's giving people a reason to write them off.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: That's so true.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm at a high school basically showcase tournament,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: with scouts galore here. Don't give them a reason. Don't
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: not run it up to first, don't not run out
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: to your position, all that stuff that big leaguers should
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: know and you know, live by a different level. But
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: to me last night, yes, he was correct. He did
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: check swing and he should have checked it down to third.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Adam Hamari, the homeplate umpire gave him every chance to
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: stay in that game, every chance Boone came out got
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: in the way, and he chose to turn around and
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: slam his helmet, and it just showed exactly exactly what
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Rizzo said, a level of immaturity that teams will question
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: when they go to free agency.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I have a question for you guys on the position
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: player sign for Boston. First off, for Boston huge. I mean,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: you're seasons on the brink here. Now they're within some
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: level of striking distance. I still think they're in trouble,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: but it at least helps you stay relevant for now
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: and not think, oh, we're going to sell, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: weeks in advance. Right, they're probably one of many teams
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: that will go right up against the trade deadline. They
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: did lose Marcelo Meyer to the injury list bone stress
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: reaction for him that he's been dealing with on and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: off for a while. Apparently it's similar to Isaiah Kinner
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: FILEFA KP. Since you're fresher out of the game and
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: you probably saw some of this with the bat speed
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: craze that's going on. I didn't get to read the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: article because it popped up for me right before the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: show started. But apparently IKF had this, you know, bat
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: speed increase, and he was focusing on that hardcore and
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: maybe that led to the injuries. So I'm just trying
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to put two and two together. Are there some teams
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: that might be pushing it a little bit? The Red
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Sox are losing a lot of young players too, Meyer,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Roman Anthony has been out most of the year. Do
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: you think we're going to run into this? I don't
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: want to say epidemic. We have that with the arms,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: but some type of issues here where we're enforcing bat
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: speed so much with everybody that it's going to lead
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to more injuries, especially for the youngsters.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: No, I don't think you're off in saying it could
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: be an epidemic. Obviously, we saw kind of the epidemic
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: of chasing velocity and what it's done to Pitcher's arms.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: How can it be any different when you're chasing bat
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: speed like the human body, especially your own human body,
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: but he is probably only supposed to operate at a
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: certain speed. Yes, you can kind of gain, you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: marginal increases in certain things. But I feel like you
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: can't take a guy who's throwing, you know, ninety, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: then get him up to one hundred miles an hour
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: and not expect there to be extra stress that his
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: body's really not accustomed to having. I don't think it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: any different when you're talking about guys now chasing bat speed.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I don't fully I understand like the science behind if
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: you swing harder and you swear it up and the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: ball could potentially be hit harder and further and all
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: that stuff, but I still don't believe that swing speed
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: is the end all be all, Because I do know this.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I looked it up last year during the postseason. I
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: was like a guy, I think my average bat speed
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: was sixty nine miles an hour, and I wanted to
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: look up really like good hitters that had sixty nine
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: as their average, and Bobaschet came up, and I think
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: last year before his injury Bobaschet was one of the
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: best hitters in the world. What he's really good at
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: is squaring up the baseball, regardless off his bat speed
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: sixty nine or eighty nine, Like, he has the ability
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: to score up the ball. So I think it's not
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: the end all be all when chasing bat speed. I
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: think there's still this ability of squaring up the baseball,
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: hitting it at the right point, creating the right sort
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: of you know, angle off your bat. But yeah, I
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: do believe if guys are going to just continue to
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: just chase bat speed, not understanding these other parts of
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: hitting first, that there's going to be an epidemic in
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: this game of guys getting you know, side injuries, oblique injuries,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: hand injuries, wrist injuries. And apparently there's this what did
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: you call the injury a forearm stress reaction.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, bone stress reaction in the forearm.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: We never heard of it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I saw one guy get it and it wasn't He
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: wasn't where john Ford Griffin. He was an elite prospect
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: for a little while out of Florida. But anyway, yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if it'll create an epidemic.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: But first of all, to what KP said giggoty. Second
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: of all, anytime you push yourself and you want immediate results,
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: pitch throwing ninety getting to one hundred, like by the
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: next offseason, you're like, Okay, what did it take to
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: get to that point? And did we build enough of
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: a foundation to withstand that. It's why all the dudes
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: when I first started playing that were on steroids got
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: hurt after they got off steroids, because their bodies went
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: big muscles, running faster, throwing harder, doing everything faster, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, their bodies like, thank you, we
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: took it to the limit.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Now we're going to break down.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: And that's my fear, and that's why I try to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: tell kids and anybody trying to prove it anything, the
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: daily work is what's going to get you those gains,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: not one bang, quick jump.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: And just to confirm it was in the Boston Globe,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I believe it was Tim Healy, but I'll double check
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: who wrote that. But yeah, I'm just getting the AI
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: summary here. All the aggressive swing increases came with tangible
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: power upgrades and one of the better stretches of his
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: career heading into the IL. The extreme workload led to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: a robbing arm pain and this strection stress reaction injury.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: So he was like, okay, I got it up to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: that speed.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: The way I read it was just like a bat flexes.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: You watch a bat flex, I saw doctor wrote about it.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: You're at your bones can actually flex slightly. And if
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: you're doing that, if he's taken a lot of swings,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: if he's doing that at a higher rep speed, all
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: that stuff, you know, it creates not a fracture, but
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I mean not a break, but a fracture where a
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: stress fracture could turn into a break.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I mean we don't like that, but hey, Red Sox
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: fans should be excited at least from the weekend. The
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: pitching was money for the team to keep them alive,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: and the Rays are in first place right now. In
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the al East, people dehydration sucks, quints, electrolyte stick packs
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: to the rescue.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I order them, I use them all of the time.
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: Somebody who may or may not have had some adult
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: beverages in their life. The next day, you know what flavor,
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: I like watermelon, and I don't like watermelon. I'll go
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: raspberry and it helps me to get my citrus salt in.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: But if I do, it helps me to get back
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: to normal, feeling good and ready to go the next day.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Yep, tough workout or dry mouth in the morning, whatever

• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Evan carter back for a Rangers team that cannot afford
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: to lose dudes.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Although, hey, aren't they in first place right now?
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: I didn't even five hundred after the weekend of the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: sweep and the Mariners.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: All gotta get ready.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: They're in first place. They're in first place.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Unreal, unreal.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: Hey, Kratzy, have you ever played with a guy, because
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: you know why, at Langford man like I was around him.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: He was twenty three years old, fresh out of college,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: and he missed him time when I was there. But
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: he just possesses all the tools to be an absolute
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: superstar in this game. But he has one of those
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: body types that's like there's just muscles on muscles on muscles,
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: and you just worry he's just never gonna be able
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: to stay healthy.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, I've never seen somebody that is super jacked,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: like you said, muscles on muscles that stays healthy for
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty two games. It's it's a skill
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to stay healthy. You need a little bit of fat,
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: you need your you need your body to like move
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: around a little bit. You can you can't hold fat.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: So no, I've never seen it. I can't think of
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: anybody that's jacked.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: And he's just so explosive like he he he rotates fast,
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: he can jump high, you know. Yeah, it's just like
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: it's just he's just wound so tight that he's like
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: this freak athlete. But with that comes you know, the
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: risk of you know, hamstring injuries, soft tissue things. It's
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: just it's a shame because he possesses all the tools
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: of being one of the best players in the game.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I've seen it, I've been around him. His work ethic
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: is incredible. It's just sometimes you have one of those
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: body types.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: And he's having a Gamsberger Dan jams Berger.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: When he's on the field, he is hit.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: We switched miss Fridays to ms Mondays so that we
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: can break it down the next morning or afternoon on
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: FT plus. You know the MM thing going on. Wow,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Fridays have been electric. Mis went one oh five point
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: five and didn't feel like he got it all, which
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: is insane. So we can play the sound first and
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: then I'll get you guys to react to the fact
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: that we might have a picture in miss Hit one
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: O seven at some point in the.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Next year or two, I don't know.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Let's just hear what he has to say first and
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: then we'll get your thoughts.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: I actually I heard it from Sprouder after I was done,
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: so it was it's cool.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I know, I think I slipped a little bit on
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: that pitch.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: I think that was the one I.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Saw on the board, said.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: One of five.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: Uh No, I think I got a little bit more.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: So can you slip?
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if you watch the video, my front foot like
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: kind of slides out from under me.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: So I think I got a little bit more.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: More than one oh five point five. Guys, why is
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: one o seven crazy? Crats? He's already at one oh
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: five point five and he slipped, and he's young.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: This is this is just the same argument when somebody
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: hits hits twenty five homers and they're like, he's got
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: forty forty home run potential, Like that's a lot more.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Let's let him hit one oh six first, and then
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: we'll talk about one o seven. All right, let's just
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: one mile per hour out of time. Let's let's just
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: go with like point miles per hour, Like we haven't
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: seen him over one hundred and five yet he slipped.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: I get it, it's in there. Let's just pump the brakes.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Let's get to one oh six before we get to
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: before we get to one oh seven.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: You know, you were talking about the the stress of
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: the game and what it did to Perrymanazzy and you
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: see these like wrinkles on the side. That's from, you know,
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: having to think about facing guys that could potentially hit
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: one oh five. I'm starting to like they're starting to
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: go away a little bit because I don't have to
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: worry about hitting those guys anymore. I just get to
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: sit here and talk about them.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you need a more skin skin care routine for that, KP.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: But also like, oh, I just I.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Need to just get out of the game.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: I just need to get out of it because it
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: was aging me at a rapid pay sticking. The fact
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: that he even thinks that it's a possibility that there's
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: more in the tank is the thing that would keep
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: me up at night. Now I don't even have to
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: worry about it. I just get to talk about it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you can't even conceptualize, Like for me, I
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: would do it in chunks. Somebody throwing ninety to ninety five. Wow,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: big difference ninety to ninety or ninety ninety three. Like
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: looking from the side, I'd be like, Eh, it's fine,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: I can react differently. It's you know, what kind of
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: life does it have? Sync all that stuff. When you
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: talk about somebody that consistently sits ninety five, and then
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: you say, somebody that can go up and touch one
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: oh five ten miles an hour difference ninety five to
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: one hundreds big one hundred to one hundred and five.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Is crazy, and he knows where it's going.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: And I love the heater. I love the heater, but
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: this is my biggest thing. He releases it closer to
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: you KP. The best extension in the game was seven
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: point three, and I think it was either Chapman or.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Hater.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: He is at seven point six. He is that much farther,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: He's that much closer to home plate. When he releases
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: the baseball and he's thrown it one hundred and five, it's.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Hard to imagine. I'm thankful and I was like you Cratzy,
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: I love the heater, but there's levels to heaters. Like
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: you said, you know, you could kind of group those
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: guys the ninety to ninety five you kind of know,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: like you know, when you need to get started ninety
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: five to one hundred, you're like, okay, man, this is
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: gonna be really tough. Like one hundred plus you're really
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: not even seeing it. You're you're you're kind of getting
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: lucky if you hit it at that point.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: There's a metric for this, two guys, It's called perceived velocity.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Do you know what his perceived velocity was on the
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: one oh five point five because that also hit a
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: perceived velocity record for him and probably the person record.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Seven point eight. That's what it looks like to you, guys.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: That's but no, you don't see. But you can't even
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: I don't even know if conceptualize is the word. But
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: you can't conceptualize. You can't your brain can't figure out
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: what that looks like because you're like, oh, I remember
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: what one hundred and one looks like. I remember turning
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: around one oh one two different times hitting it into
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: the seats one oh seven, Like, yes, that's a perceived velocity.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: What does that mean? That means that John's getting on
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: you quick?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Hey, say Suzuki had a home or off
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: them though that was the first homer up in like
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: two months.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: His second homer against him. There are guys that see
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: certain guys really well. Josh Hater Jose Martinez. Do you
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: guys remember Jose Martinez had like a quick minute right
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: handed hitter with the Cardinals he crushed Josh Hater crushed him.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Everybody else one dude, free strikes, you're out, and he
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: would just crush him. Certain guys can see certain pitches
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: and swing at the right spot to be able to
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: connect with them.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and actually we have Jose Martinez on Cardinal Territory
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: maybe a month and a half ago, if you.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Want to listen him.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what a great man.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Super nice, big, big giant, big gentle giant. But yeah,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: the Brewers are, you know, still humming along, feeling really good.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: Just hoping that MS stays healthy since he's doing things
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: that nobody else can do. The Pirates have dropped now
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: the last eight starts by Paul Skeans, yet they're still
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: hanging around. That's crazy. I did not expect that to happen,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: for him to have a rut like that in the
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: four and a half era range, which isn't crazy. It's
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: also I mean there's some run support in some of
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: those starts, but he's definitely not looking himself. And then
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: the Cubs are on another run. So the Cubs, I mean,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I'm wear in my North Side Territory shirt today. So
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: if you want to listen to Patrick Mooney and sah
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Dave Sharma break down the team and potentially have a
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: huge new addition to their show coming soon.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Are they the ultimate seesaw team this year? They have
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to be, right?
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe, I mean, you win ten, you loose tand
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I mean I don't think he gets much bigger than that. Obviously,
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: I'm a Toronto guy. I've been watching him this year.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: It's a little bit We've been referred to it more
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: of a roller coaster, but it seems lately we're on
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: that kind of downtick a little bit more. But early
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: on it was just like they had the ability to win,
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: to lose one, you know, lose to lose win one,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: and then you know they finally, you know, before this
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: six game louse streak, they finally grinded back and they
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: got to five hundred, and they had an opportunity to
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: win that game, they let it slip and then it's
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: led to six in a row. So, in my opinion,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: they've been a huge kind of seesaw Obviously, like you mentioned,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: with the Cubs winning ten losing ten, it doesn't get
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: any bigger extremes than that.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: Ye story will run the Cubs right now again. Now
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: they're playing ball again, Kratz.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: It's historic. I forget who wrote the article, but there
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: have been no teams in the history of baseball since
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: they've been tracking records, which I'm pretty sure they know
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: who won the first game, so they were tracking records
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: right out the gate that no team has had that
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: this many winning streaks and also like fifteen game stretches
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: of the least amount of wins and the most amount
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: of wins.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: All right, let's flip it to Al East for a moment.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: Will highlight and better than box scores, Junior camon Naro
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: on an absolute tear. He's had a homer in four
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: straight and I think a homer in six out of
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: his last seven games.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had a year last year.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: He's so young, to what he's doing in terms of
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: damage at the plate is really incredible and a big
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: part of why the Rays are where they are right now,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: back in first place.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: So they've won five in a row and.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: They had a long skid for a month. What they
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: lost eighteen of twenty seven leading up to this five
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: games in a row. Now that they've won and the
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: race swept the Diamondbacks over the weekend. But Crats, I
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: mean we've had him on the show, We've talked about
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: him to the highest degree.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: He's twenty two years old.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Like one of the shots this weekend, the one off
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Merril Kelly, Did you see that one?
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Four hundred sixty three feet?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, okay, well then KP saw it because he
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: nodded his head saw it.
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: I saw it.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: You know. Obviously, the Trump is a place I played
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: a ton of my career. Obviously, me and Kratsey have
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: been everywhere, but certain stadiums you know really well, especially
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: being an outfielder, and I know where that is. You know,
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: I've I've ran out to my position and I've looked
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: there before and I'm like, man, that's so far. And
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: then when you see a guy hit a ball there,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: it's really impressive, and you know he's he In my opinion,
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: he's a top ten player in this game. I think
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: he just doesn't get enough respect because it's kind of
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: the knock on Tampa. You know, they don't draw well.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: You know, they're not a big market. They're a team
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: that just always is in it. You know, they're a
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: team at the beginning of the year. The projections don't
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: necessarily always love them, but you just know Tampa is
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: going to figure out a way to be you know,
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: right in it to the very end. And I just
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, look at those numbers. I mean, every team
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: in baseball would love to have this guy, especially the
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: fact that he's twenty two years old. It's just really impressive.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: Like he's just a really polished hitter who has a
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: ton of power.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Where did he hit it to KP because I missed it?
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Where did it go?
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Was? It was left center field and there's like the
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: like the seats and then there's that kind of like
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: thing above the seats. You know you've seen guys more
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: to left field that has like that raise like banner
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: up there. He hit it almost to like it was
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: like left of the Uh it would kind of be
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: equivalent to where the race the stingrays are, but on
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: the left side.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, so like deep left center because I saw Hunter
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Pence hit the banners that they hang in left field
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: in BP, So I just wanted to know how far
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: we're talking like big, big distance.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah it was big.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: It was big, but not banner big but big.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but that was big p too. So let's let's
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: pump the brakes.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is real games, and it's seven homers in
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: this last six games, and it's twenty two on the season.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: He had forty five last year.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: So he's on pace for almost the exact amount as
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: we're just about at the halfway mark that I was
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: trying to do the math on Schober the other day,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: who we'll talk about later, but you can just about
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: double the numbers right now if you're looking at pace
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: on pace for almost the exact same amount. So Ray's
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: still playing some good ball. Hey, some transaction news over
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: the weekend. There were some ads, there's some subtraction. Here's
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: a subtraction. Christopher Morrell, who the Marlins took a shot at.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: He gets cut man. He was toolsy guys, But you
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: got to be able to get on base. You gotta
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta field your position. There were kp
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of things to like and a lot of
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: things to not like about his game.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: And the Rays tried it out too.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: There were teams that are pretty analytic focused that tried
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: to grab that and see if they could make them
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: a complete player, and it hasn't worked.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: I think it just speaks to the difficulty it is
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: to stay in this game and perform at a high
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: level for a long time. We take for granted that
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: there's these guys that are successful for a long period
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: of time, and then there's other guys like me and
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: Krats who just kind of figure out how to stay
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: in the game for a long time. It's it's very
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: difficult because you know, you think about his little run
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: he had in Chicago and the tools he possesses, you know,
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: the how far he can hit the ball, how hard
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: he can.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Hit the ball.
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Like, this game is so much more about the tools
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: than that you possess. It's about constantly making adjustments and
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: learning and adapting, and you know, when the bat's not there,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: you have to be really elite with your glove in
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: order to survive this game.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: It is crazy to think about the guy that has
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: that kind of power, that kind of bat speed currently
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: has less service time in the big leagues than you
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: do than I do. Like it's that's what's crazy about
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: the game. But it's also hard to go from a
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: guy who has been elite his whole time to like
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: a journeyman and like figuring out how to be on
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: the bench get two hundred at bats instead of six hundred,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Like it's crazy it's a crazy game.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Health too, you know, he's went through issues too.
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's that's part of that's also part of
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: the you know, living and learning and adapting at this game.
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: It's so much about constantly kind of changing your diet
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: or your workout program and or you know, how your
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: off seasons go, how your training end season goes, in
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: order to unless you're just you know, a superstar who's
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: just gonna, you know, play at peak performance till as
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: long as he wants to play. When you're kind of
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: that guy who has his ups and downs in his career,
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: you constantly have to evolve in this game. And if
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: you're not willing to evolve in this game, you're going
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: to find yourself getting released and kind of bouncing around,
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: and eventually you're going to be out of the game.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: The only success he really had was right at the
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: top of his career talking about morel you know, twenty
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: twenty two and twenty twenty three with the Cubs.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: He did some good things and he put up some homers.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I mean in those two seasons combined, let's see sixteen
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: homers year one, twenty six year two, but dropped off
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: after that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: A lot of bunch outs.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bad D two. Hey we're back. Tommy fam signed.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: He was on with us about a week and a
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: half ago, and then he signed a minor league contract
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: with the Phillies so he could find his way up with.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: The big league club.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Hey Kratz, you've seen Derek Hill stand out with the
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Phillies and he's bounced around the league a little bit.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Always a super athlete, incredible defender. He's shown up a
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: little bit more with the bat right now. But maybe
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Tommy will join him at some point.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully the guys can figure out how you know,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: the staff with the Phillies can figure out how to
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: get the most value out of both those guys. Obviously,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Tommy brings that veteran leadership, you know, grind it mentality.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Derek Hill's playing right now like if a superstar player
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: makes the cash that he made, I think it gets
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: more notoriety. That was a ridiculous catch and offensively he's
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: kicking it right now for a team who needs some offense.
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it's a nice, nice insurance policy.
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: Nice Derek Hills. Or he's possessed all the tools that
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: you would want out of a center fielder, like he
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: can really go play defense. He's super athletic. He's swinging
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: the back right now, Like to me, you just got
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: to let it run, you know. Obviously his track record
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: has shown that he hasn't been able to do it
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: for a long period of time. Going out and getting
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: a guy like Tommy Fam and I did listen to
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: him on your show, keep him in the minor leagues
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: long enough where he feels like he's ready to go, Like,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: don't rush him up to the big leaves, because that's
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: what he kind of said. His kind of downfall was
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: the combination of that and then not getting consistent run
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: didn't allow him to do what Tommy Fam does best,
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: and it's really grind out at bats and fine way
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: on base and then you know, steal some bases when
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: you need it.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: The vision got seat the ball.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no doubt, and then at least is going
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: to get interesting. The Marlins are eighteen and six in June.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: The Braves are in a four and twelve slump, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: they're starting pitching as a problem, which is what people
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: thought was going to be the problem heading into the season.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Remember we talked about this with the Mets last year.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: They're twenty ninth in starting pitching the ra in those
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: sixteen games, and they're definitely going to need some reinforcements.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: While the Phillies are just roaring right now, they're thirty
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: eight and eighteen. I looked at their schedule for the
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: next couple of weeks. It still looks kind of soft
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: in terms of a pone. And so things are happening.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: They're three games back. Schwerber with his what was that
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: his thirtieth already to run shot off Sanga yesterday to
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: win the series. Steam's clicking. We're gonna do an unusual slapans.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring the slappans topic to this particular segment.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Cooper Ingle was scrolling through social media in his hotel
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: room in Omaha when there was a knock at the door.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: I figured it was housekeeping, plately declined, another knock, another decline,
• 38:24

  Speaker 1: Just say hey, it's the manager. Can I talk to you?
