Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: That lineup. It sure is fun to watch. Top to bottom.
- 0:02Speaker 1: They create runs and tons of different ways and they
- 0:05Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on defenses.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Graati Friday, we got top other and kids.
- 0:14Speaker 1: A good right there got fielders.
- 0:17Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. This is a good
- 0:19Speaker 2: infield right here, very good, very good infield?
- 0:22Speaker 3: What position do you play?
- 0:23Speaker 2: I play base, brough, I broadcast on the field. Actually,
- 0:27Speaker 2: do you know what I did? I did first base
- 0:30Speaker 2: when I was because I was lefty, I did first base.
- 0:33Speaker 3: That's tall.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Yeah, with third, yep and second? Uh no, I right lefty.
- 0:39Speaker 2: You're one of those I right left e bat righty.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Golf Friday. I don't really go, but if I did,
- 0:45Speaker 2: I golf Friday. So anyway, Yeah, usually we have catchers.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Today we're going infielders. So we'll see how that makes
- 0:51Speaker 2: things a little different. Before we begin, super super random.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Someone was bringing this up to me. You know how
- 0:58Speaker 2: expansion teams or teams that switch their names have to
- 1:01Speaker 2: like do a bunch of checking for trademarks and all
- 1:03Speaker 2: that stuff. You also have to check the websites. Do
- 1:05Speaker 2: you know that the Rays don't have rais dot com?
- 1:09Speaker 3: Stop it.
- 1:11Speaker 2: It's a restaurant and No, it's no code foul. You
- 1:14Speaker 2: don't get any discount if you go to a restaurant.
- 1:16Speaker 2: But it's this Seattle seafood restaurant.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Kip.
- 1:21Speaker 1: If there was there was a team that I was
- 1:24Speaker 1: going to predict and not have their own team copyrighted
- 1:27Speaker 1: website there, it might have been the Raise.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Anyways, I thought it was going to be like the.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Second guest, but they've been around longer, they had the
- 1:36Speaker 1: history a little bit more.
- 1:37Speaker 2: But race, it's so, I mean, this place does weddings.
- 1:42Speaker 2: They it looks like a really cool boat house. They
- 1:44Speaker 2: I'll show it to top Father. It's a nice site
- 1:46Speaker 2: because they probably get a ridiculous amount of sight visits
- 1:50Speaker 2: because sometimes if you type it in on Google, it
- 1:52Speaker 2: actually goes to this instead of the race.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Do we know what the ras MLB side is? Is
- 1:57Speaker 3: a TB raise?
- 1:58Speaker 2: That's a good question. And these are the kind of
- 2:00Speaker 2: things that we need to investigate and figure out on
- 2:02Speaker 2: the fly. So I'm putting in Tampa Bay Rays dot com.
- 2:05Speaker 2: That took me in. Usually they try and get as
- 2:08Speaker 2: many as they can, right Like, they try and buy
- 2:10Speaker 2: out anything that they can, Like, what if the team
- 2:12Speaker 2: moves to Tampa, does Tampa Raise dot com work. Nope,
- 2:15Speaker 2: it's actually telling me it's not a secure website. So
- 2:17Speaker 2: before I get a virus and this whole show goes down,
- 2:20Speaker 2: let's charge the damn mount all right, kit, we got
- 2:27Speaker 2: a little Blue Jays Guardians beef Vladdie Junior hit by
- 2:32Speaker 2: a pitch And was this the second in the series.
- 2:35Speaker 1: This is the second in the series. So I was there.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I was doing pre and post for this whole series. Listen,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you're not happy when you get hit by the pitch.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You're definitely not happy when you get hit twice and
- 2:43Speaker 1: twice in the same series. So you saw the jose
- 2:46Speaker 1: one was kind of coming eye for an eye retaliation.
- 2:50Speaker 1: I think it was kind of expected. You want to ideally,
- 2:53Speaker 1: you want it to be below the belt. You don't
- 2:54Speaker 1: want to kind of go up near the wrists and
- 2:56Speaker 1: the hands and all that stuff where something might be broken.
- 2:58Speaker 1: You kind of want to send your message and on.
- 3:00Speaker 1: I think both sides are okay with messages being sent
- 3:03Speaker 1: the eye for the eye, but I like to keep
- 3:05Speaker 1: it between the belt and the knee. I think that's
- 3:07Speaker 1: where the meaty part is. That's where you can send
- 3:08Speaker 1: the message and nobody gets hurt, fair play.
- 3:10Speaker 3: Move on, understood, understood. I think we've had this question,
- 3:15Speaker 3: not on this circumstance, but I remember show he Got
- 3:18Speaker 3: hit and Dog weeka a week ago, and I was like,
- 3:22Speaker 3: I actually didn't mind the spot. It's not I think
- 3:25Speaker 3: he got hit up in this area here. I'm more
- 3:28Speaker 3: like the middle back and lower that. That's me because
- 3:31Speaker 3: just because that's.
- 3:34Speaker 1: What you like getting here, you want them to get
- 3:36Speaker 1: hit there.
- 3:37Speaker 3: No, well that and if they're going to retaliate, like
- 3:40Speaker 3: middle of the back, lower for me, just because yeah,
- 3:44Speaker 3: I'm just listen. You get them in the leg, that's great,
- 3:46Speaker 3: you know. But you know sometimes when you retaliate, you
- 3:49Speaker 3: might skim off a piece. You're like, god, I didn't,
- 3:51Speaker 3: I didn't get it. You know, aim for that like ribs,
- 3:55Speaker 3: part of the back when they turn to get that,
- 3:57Speaker 3: that that thud, you know what I mean?
- 3:59Speaker 1: But when does go pass him, when the ball hits
- 4:01Speaker 1: him and stops, oh you know, yeah, that's where you
- 4:03Speaker 1: do damage. That's where you'll send your biggest mess. I
- 4:06Speaker 1: think we all agree, get away from nothing above shoulders
- 4:10Speaker 1: and get away.
- 4:11Speaker 3: From the hands. Yeah, And I think that was just
- 4:14Speaker 3: kind of old school right there at the end of
- 4:15Speaker 3: the day. I mean two guys, two of their best
- 4:17Speaker 3: players getting hit. Uh you know, I hope both of
- 4:21Speaker 3: them are okay. Getting hit in the arm. That was
- 4:23Speaker 3: a little It's scary because you don't know how to react.
- 4:26Speaker 3: There's some guys. I think you played with a guy
- 4:28Speaker 3: I forget his name with the Guardians at the time,
- 4:31Speaker 3: shorter guy. What. Yeah, he would just stay in there
- 4:35Speaker 3: and take it. Like I always jumped out of the
- 4:37Speaker 3: way when the ball came my way. It was incredible
- 4:39Speaker 3: how he just like, oh it's coming boom. He didn't move.
- 4:43Speaker 1: He was an extreme case. He he was like good
- 4:46Speaker 1: at it. He like knew how to get the pitch.
- 4:49Speaker 1: So uh yeah. But he was also like a monster
- 4:52Speaker 1: in the gym too. He had like zero percent body
- 4:54Speaker 1: fact could take any of that.
- 4:56Speaker 3: It's kind of how Scott is right now.
- 4:57Speaker 2: It was part of his game. You know, I could
- 4:59Speaker 2: have made it. I just stand on the plate and.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Just step out their hope and just hey, hit one
- 5:03Speaker 1: of these. I could show it off more.
- 5:06Speaker 2: D happy gilmore it just take the hit. Hey, Brandon Geyer.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I'm trying to look up because he had actually more
- 5:12Speaker 2: at bs than I thought. Twelve almost thirteen hundred abs,
- 5:15Speaker 2: almost fifteen hundred plate appearances. Where's my HBP here eighty
- 5:19Speaker 2: five career hbps hit by a pitch eighty five times
- 5:24Speaker 2: in seven seasons, five hundred ish games, fifteen hundred plate appearances.
- 5:29Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. Go ahead, No, I was
- 5:32Speaker 3: thinking I've been hit probably in the seventies. Yeah, And
- 5:35Speaker 3: I can remember one instance where I was sitting. I
- 5:38Speaker 3: was sitting slider and Mike Pelfrey was pitching. He had
- 5:42Speaker 3: that two steamer and he like he threw like over
- 5:45Speaker 3: the top, weird angle, and I stood there and I
- 5:47Speaker 3: kept coming and booming hit me in the arm and
- 5:49Speaker 3: I didn't move him, like, oh, like that hurt. It
- 5:52Speaker 3: hurt really bad. But I was sitting slider. I was
- 5:54Speaker 3: waiting for it to slide, like if it was at
- 5:56Speaker 3: my face. I probably got hitting the naugat, But that
- 5:58Speaker 3: was the only time when I got hit it where
- 6:00Speaker 3: I was like, I didn't move or react. I felt
- 6:03Speaker 3: like a hero at the time because I walked the
- 6:06Speaker 3: first but it hurts so bad I didn't want to.
- 6:08Speaker 3: You can't touch it.
- 6:09Speaker 1: So yeah, I was gonna say, Guyer's not like a
- 6:12Speaker 1: Rizzo where you see him get hit a lot where
- 6:13Speaker 1: he would hang over the plate of these just a
- 6:15Speaker 1: bigger dude. He That was my The way you just
- 6:18Speaker 1: described that was when I was trying to like see
- 6:20Speaker 1: the ball travel on lefties, like left on the left,
- 6:22Speaker 1: and like I got to make sure this so I'm
- 6:24Speaker 1: coming in there, and I was like, oh, this isn't
- 6:25Speaker 1: a slider. This is a two scene coming right back
- 6:27Speaker 1: up in my face. And a couple of times just
- 6:29Speaker 1: a little chitty yeah.
- 6:32Speaker 3: No doubt, but again to button it up. I think,
- 6:34Speaker 3: honestly that was It was the perfect situation and scenario
- 6:37Speaker 3: for a game. You hit your guy, here comes left
- 6:39Speaker 3: and right. Nobody got thrown out. I mean, I guess
- 6:42Speaker 3: the warnings were valid, but I don't know. I felt
- 6:45Speaker 3: like they squashed it right there. Perfect. That's baseball and
- 6:48Speaker 3: that that's how the game should be played.
- 6:50Speaker 2: And both My only yeah, my only call out for
- 6:53Speaker 2: fans because we've talked about this a little bit. As
- 6:55Speaker 2: the weather heats up, you get more of this, there
- 6:57Speaker 2: are some fans because I get to see the comments
- 6:58Speaker 2: that were like, well, this one was intentional, this one
- 7:00Speaker 2: was intentional. Okay, if a star is getting hit multiple times,
- 7:04Speaker 2: what would you like to the team to do bow
- 7:06Speaker 2: down or call the front office be like, hey, you
- 7:09Speaker 2: should option that guy that doesn't have his control, like
- 7:11Speaker 2: this is the only way. If you have a better idea,
- 7:14Speaker 2: we're open to your comments. Well, if you're a normal human,
- 7:18Speaker 2: you can't speak English to your pup. But what you
- 7:22Speaker 2: can do to understand what they love, which is Spontan
- 7:25Speaker 2: tango on kibble, is to see how they react when
- 7:28Speaker 2: you put the unkibble in the bowl. And my pup,
- 7:32Speaker 2: penal Lope loves it, so does Bella.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Well, Bella speaks Spanish, so she says, moybeen, I love
- 7:40Speaker 1: this stuff.
- 7:43Speaker 2: She says, Wow, Dad, thanks for creating a custom plan
- 7:46Speaker 2: based on my age, weight, breed an activity level. You
- 7:50Speaker 2: nailed it. And also it's made with one hundred percent
- 7:53Speaker 2: whole fresh ingredients like real USDA meats, fruits and veggies.
- 7:57Speaker 2: But it's forty percent less expensive than frozen food. So
- 8:00Speaker 2: upgrade your pets bowl with spotan Tango unkibble and for
- 8:02Speaker 2: a limited time, go to spotantango dot com slash foul
- 8:06Speaker 2: and use code foul for fifty percent off your first order.
- 8:09Speaker 2: That's spotantango dot com slash foul code foul to get
- 8:14Speaker 2: fifty percent off your first order. Well, we got two
- 8:16Speaker 2: minutes here. There were other beef moments yesterday Wilmer Flores
- 8:20Speaker 2: and the Marlins, but the one we'll get to here
- 8:23Speaker 2: Wilson Contreras and the Chicago Cubs. His old boye. You know,
- 8:27Speaker 2: he didn't like how obviously here it is. The pitch
- 8:31Speaker 2: got him real tight, hit him, and so he you know,
- 8:35Speaker 2: made some gestures that Polone not Polonte. Uh gave me
- 8:40Speaker 2: the name blanking on the closer Plentcia for the Cubs. Okay.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Then Polentcia closes it out and looks back at him
- 8:47Speaker 2: like take it, and Contreres basically apologized postgame. He said,
- 8:51Speaker 2: last year I got two broken bones. I know he's
- 8:53Speaker 2: not trying to hit anybody there. I know he react
- 8:54Speaker 2: the way I react, and I know he's not trying
- 8:57Speaker 2: to He just told him throw strikes. He said, my
- 8:58Speaker 2: reaction was bad. I take that back. I apologize, So
- 9:02Speaker 2: I'll go listen.
- 9:04Speaker 3: It was up by his face, Okay, that that when
- 9:06Speaker 3: we just had this whole conversation about it. Anything up
- 9:09Speaker 3: by that face area, you have a right to say something,
- 9:13Speaker 3: excuse me or or move on. But I think it's
- 9:17Speaker 3: very scary up by the face. He's had some injuries
- 9:20Speaker 3: there before. I love how he apologizes in the heat
- 9:22Speaker 3: of the moment. Palencia, he got excited at the end,
- 9:27Speaker 3: won the game, struck the guy out looked at you,
- 9:29Speaker 3: and I think another case of great job. I'm glad
- 9:33Speaker 3: he apologized. That's nice. Didn't have to and they move on.
- 9:36Speaker 3: That's it, and this is this is what you know
- 9:38Speaker 3: baseball's about. You know, I don't think they hate each other.
- 9:42Speaker 3: I don't think. I think if they saw each other
- 9:43Speaker 3: before game, they probably say, hey, man, how silly was
- 9:47Speaker 3: that yesterday? You know, I didn't mean to you don't
- 9:48Speaker 3: mean to blah blah blah. That's baseball. A little argument
- 9:51Speaker 3: here and there is fine. But up by the face
- 9:52Speaker 3: is when when we start talking a little bit more.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Scott, I'm with you. Hey, how about this one from
- 9:56Speaker 2: Ryan Bassi covers the Rays No Raysor named his finalists
- 10:00Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty five All Star Game. He mentioned
- 10:02Speaker 2: Jonathan Ronda Junior, Cameron Arrao, who was on the show
- 10:05Speaker 2: the other day. Brandon Laud, despite better numbers than the finalists,
- 10:07Speaker 2: missed out. Dude to fan voting, they could all still
- 10:09Speaker 2: go as reserves, but he said Ronda definitely deserved to start.
- 10:13Speaker 2: I mean, it's a popularity contest, that's part of it.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Fans like to be able to participate. Obviously, keep the
- 10:19Speaker 2: league likes the participation. They literally make millions of dollars
- 10:22Speaker 2: off the clicks on the website.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Welcome to small Market. I mean I had to do
- 10:29Speaker 1: a lot of time, and Todd dealt with it for
- 10:31Speaker 1: a good amount too, where it's just like you're never
- 10:34Speaker 1: going to get that nationwide vote or the fan vote
- 10:36Speaker 1: just because you don't play in front of it many people.
- 10:38Speaker 1: You'll get many eyes on you. People will know your
- 10:41Speaker 1: name and all that stuff, and they'll they're going to
- 10:43Speaker 1: vote for their people that they see on TV. If
- 10:46Speaker 1: there's ever a coin flip between maybe a deserving guy
- 10:49Speaker 1: to a small market or a big market guy. But
- 10:50Speaker 1: that's just kind of how it plays out. I think also,
- 10:53Speaker 1: I want to hit it back on this real quick though,
- 10:55Speaker 1: to be able to play an All Star game in
- 10:57Speaker 1: your home plays. I was pissed off that I didn't
- 10:58Speaker 1: get to do it in nineteen. I didn't deserve to.
- 11:00Speaker 1: I wasn't I it wasn't have a great year. But
- 11:03Speaker 1: I want to give him as Flowers. My first All
- 11:04Speaker 1: Star Game was in Cincinnati, where I got to see
- 11:06Speaker 1: Todd win the home run derby and it was one
- 11:09Speaker 1: of the coolest things I got to witness live. So
- 11:11Speaker 1: it's got to be it's got to be such a
- 11:13Speaker 1: rush to play in front of the crowd.
- 11:16Speaker 3: You're you're not kidding, bro, and doing the home run
- 11:19Speaker 3: derby were Hey, I did the buzzer beater. Excuse me, Hey,
- 11:27Speaker 3: you did banana ball to a couple of times, right.
- 11:31Speaker 1: I appreciate you thinking banana ball's equivalent to winning the
- 11:34Speaker 1: home run derby at your home.
- 11:36Speaker 3: It was a flash, bro. I want to do whatever
- 11:38Speaker 3: you time.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Hot corner time.
- 11:44Speaker 3: All right.
- 11:45Speaker 2: So this isn't fun news to cover, but it's also
- 11:48Speaker 2: an awful, awful case that we have covered throughout the
- 11:50Speaker 2: last one. Ye're in change. Wander Franco, who was a
- 11:54Speaker 2: butting star with the Tampa Bay Rays, signed up to
- 11:58Speaker 2: a Monster Monster contract to a plus million dollars. I
- 12:01Speaker 2: was convicted of a very very serious crime in the
- 12:04Speaker 2: Dominican Republic, sexually abusing a fourteen year old girl. He
- 12:08Speaker 2: was convicted by a Dominican court. We got that sentencing
- 12:11Speaker 2: on Thursday afternoon, he was given a suspended two year
- 12:15Speaker 2: prison sentence. So it sounds like I don't know that
- 12:18Speaker 2: whole legal system there. Obviously that's not my specialty, but
- 12:20Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like he has to serve prison time
- 12:23Speaker 2: at the moment. The mother of the victim received a
- 12:25Speaker 2: ten year sentence for sexually trafficking her daughter. Prosecutors were
- 12:30Speaker 2: going after a five year sentence. The judge said Franco
- 12:34Speaker 2: would not serve further prison time unless he ran a
- 12:36Speaker 2: foul of certain conditions, including not contacting minors with sexual intentions.
- 12:41Speaker 2: MLB's investigation into all of it is still open, and
- 12:44Speaker 2: he could be further disciplined under the Domestic Violence, sexual
- 12:47Speaker 2: assault and Child Abuse Policy. Okay, so we had been
- 12:51Speaker 2: talking about this for a while. We got an answer,
- 12:54Speaker 2: and Number one, awful, there's a awful convicted of a
- 13:02Speaker 2: terrible crime. Number Two, I don't care what MLB does.
- 13:08Speaker 2: He's not playing again. Okay, I can say that with
- 13:11Speaker 2: utmost confidence at this point, Kip, He's not going to
- 13:13Speaker 2: play in the Biggs anymore. He's probably not even going
- 13:16Speaker 2: to be allowed in the country. So from a baseball perspective,
- 13:19Speaker 2: which is very clearly secondary here, he's out of the.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Sport doesn't deserve to kind of. It's a privilege to
- 13:28Speaker 1: be able to play in the MLB, and I think
- 13:29Speaker 1: that comes with the responsibility to hold yourself to a
- 13:32Speaker 1: higher level of a standard which he clearly did not
- 13:36Speaker 1: met him or I mean the mother getting ten years too.
- 13:39Speaker 1: I think, listen, we're gonna report it because it's news
- 13:43Speaker 1: and it has to do with it because he used
- 13:45Speaker 1: to be a player of who he is. But if
- 13:48Speaker 1: I guess you're going to start hearing his name less
- 13:50Speaker 1: and less and where, it's just not gonna be thing
- 13:53Speaker 1: to even give updates on him anymore because I just
- 13:56Speaker 1: don't think he's going to be part of the baseball
- 13:57Speaker 1: world much longer.
- 13:59Speaker 3: Ye, that's it. I'll be short and sweet. I was
- 14:01Speaker 3: going to just say that there's you know, it was
- 14:04Speaker 3: crazy what happened. It's not good. It's just it's sad,
- 14:08Speaker 3: to be honest with you, So, yeah, to give any
- 14:11Speaker 3: more updates about this is just not even worth it anymore,
- 14:16Speaker 3: just to sad, said day for that fourteen year old girl.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. So I wonder if you if you
- 14:22Speaker 2: go back a few years ago, signed eleven years, about
- 14:25Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty two million dollars with the Rays,
- 14:28Speaker 2: and that deal could have maxed out at twelve years
- 14:30Speaker 2: two twenty three. There was a twelve year option there,
- 14:34Speaker 2: just a long time, massive deal. Most of that money
- 14:38Speaker 2: is not going to be paid out too for fans
- 14:40Speaker 2: that are curious, like, oh, you know it if he's
- 14:43Speaker 2: not playing, you know, he's on the restricted list for
- 14:45Speaker 2: a while, and now obviously he's not going to be
- 14:46Speaker 2: able to play for really forever. MLB I'm sure will
- 14:50Speaker 2: come out with their own punishment Kip, but again, it's
- 14:53Speaker 2: not going to matter. He's not a citizen. They're not
- 14:55Speaker 2: going to let him back in, and he's a child
- 14:58Speaker 2: sex offender.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, okay, I.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Think anyway, move on, Yeah, you move on obviously, the
- 15:07Speaker 2: Rays move on. Yes, if you go years back, he
- 15:09Speaker 2: was supposed to be there, their superstar. They invested a
- 15:12Speaker 2: lot of money in him. The Rays have very clearly
- 15:14Speaker 2: moved on. Okay, they don't talk about it. They have
- 15:16Speaker 2: a really good ball club. They've moved on. They have
- 15:18Speaker 2: other young stars that they'll pay attention.
- 15:20Speaker 1: You've done a good job of handling it. I think,
- 15:22Speaker 1: like in the sense that it's not something that you're
- 15:24Speaker 1: prepared for there's no book on how to handle this situation.
- 15:27Speaker 1: I think they just did a good job of like
- 15:29Speaker 1: they distanced themselves as fast as possible, kind of because
- 15:32Speaker 1: they saw the writing out of the wall.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not in this obviously, this is a
- 15:38Speaker 2: criminal case mess, but there were some issues that were
- 15:42Speaker 2: arising there I'll put it that way with Wander within
- 15:45Speaker 2: the clubhouse towards the end of his tenure there with
- 15:48Speaker 2: the race. So just a troubled person and essentially gone
- 15:53Speaker 2: from our sport. FT fan, did you know that hu

- 16:54Speaker 2: with the code foul. All right, let's get to some
- 16:57Speaker 2: other crappy news. Griffin can left in the top of
- 17:01Speaker 2: the third inning. I was watching this game. I mean
- 17:03Speaker 2: a lot of people works. It was the only game
- 17:04Speaker 2: on a Thursday night, Braves and Mets matching up. Canning
- 17:08Speaker 2: having a really good year, bounce back year with the Mets.
- 17:12Speaker 2: And it looks like a left achilles injury. Todd father.
- 17:15Speaker 2: So we haven't gotten any word yet on how bad
- 17:17Speaker 2: it is. But the Mets lost Tyler McGill right elbow sprain.
- 17:20Speaker 2: They lost cold I sang it to a right hammy strain,
- 17:23Speaker 2: and now Canning is definitely going to miss some time.
- 17:25Speaker 2: You hope that it's not. You know, they're really bad
- 17:27Speaker 2: Achilles news.
- 17:30Speaker 3: I mean, you see these injuries on just stepping back
- 17:33Speaker 3: and going it's just a reaction. I I don't understand.
- 17:37Speaker 3: You see it happened in the NBA a lot. You
- 17:39Speaker 3: see a you know, a couple I think of Ryan
- 17:41Speaker 3: Howard coming out of the box that lasted Bat in
- 17:43Speaker 3: the World Series. Yeah, man, these guys are all in shape.
- 17:47Speaker 3: It's just unfortunate. It's just a weird reaction your body
- 17:51Speaker 3: wasn't ready for. And you know, we're hoping for the best.
- 17:53Speaker 3: We don't. I'm sure they know exactly what's going on
- 17:57Speaker 3: right now. Hopefully we'll hear about it and you know,
- 17:59Speaker 3: the day or two here. But when you see something
- 18:03Speaker 3: like this now, the only thing you really think about
- 18:05Speaker 3: is in Achilles. That's all you think about. And you
- 18:07Speaker 3: know we're speculating, of course, but we've seen it happen
- 18:10Speaker 3: too many times when someone goes step and you know,
- 18:13Speaker 3: go to a different direction. Seems like the CAF pops,
- 18:15Speaker 3: but it starts from below the ankle area. So praying
- 18:19Speaker 3: for the guy. Man, this would be a really tough
- 18:21Speaker 3: and bad break for the Mets.
- 18:25Speaker 1: Yeah, those videos are not fun to watch when you
- 18:27Speaker 1: see it. A lot of times a player looks back
- 18:29Speaker 1: like they thought they got hit by something, and it's scary,
- 18:32Speaker 1: it's unfortunate. You hope it's not what it is. It
- 18:35Speaker 1: just doesn't look good right now in you. But fingers
- 18:37Speaker 1: crossed that it's better than what it looked like because
- 18:40Speaker 1: it didn't look good.
- 18:42Speaker 2: I was excited for this start for him too, obviously
- 18:44Speaker 2: only made it a few innings in. So, first off,
- 18:47Speaker 2: he's an LA kid, and he pitched maybe a few
- 18:50Speaker 2: weeks ago when the Mets were taken on the Dodgers,
- 18:52Speaker 2: and he freaking dealt he's been doing it. Yeah, And
- 18:56Speaker 2: then so that one had extra meaning. And then Kip
- 18:59Speaker 2: so did this one, and as a betting man, I'm like, yeah,
- 19:02Speaker 2: I'm gonna I did. Okay, it wasn't my lock, but
- 19:04Speaker 2: I threw some money down on the Mets. I'm like,
- 19:07Speaker 2: hold up. Griffin Canning was traded from the Angels to
- 19:11Speaker 2: the Braves in the offseason in that Jorge sol Lair deal,
- 19:14Speaker 2: which ended up just being a money dump because the
- 19:17Speaker 2: Braves cut Canning and then the Mets picked him up.
- 19:20Speaker 2: So you know how that is. Kip I mean, he
- 19:22Speaker 2: has a little extra juice when he's pitching against the
- 19:24Speaker 2: team that didn't even give him a shot.
- 19:26Speaker 3: Right.
- 19:26Speaker 2: He probably thought at one point, Okay, this team's trading
- 19:29Speaker 2: for me. I'm gonna get a change of scenery and
- 19:31Speaker 2: I'm gonna try and put things together because he's got
- 19:33Speaker 2: a lot of pitches, and nope, Braves cut him loose
- 19:35Speaker 2: mets of all teams pick them up, and he's got
- 19:37Speaker 2: a sub you know, three seven seven. I know he
- 19:39Speaker 2: had a couple starts towards the end here that weren't
- 19:41Speaker 2: as good, but I mean it's been in the three
- 19:43Speaker 2: and a half range gra in his first sixteen starts
- 19:47Speaker 2: this season, after I think like a five and a
- 19:49Speaker 2: half last year.
- 19:51Speaker 1: You can always tell. We talked about a little bit
- 19:53Speaker 1: off air before the show came out once, like I
- 19:55Speaker 1: was in Cleveland this last series. There's a couple guys
- 19:59Speaker 1: on Toronto, former leveland players, whether it's Ernie Clement, him
- 20:03Speaker 1: and Az Straw, and it's like they're all Will Benson
- 20:07Speaker 1: on the Reds. I think had a great series versus Cleveland.
- 20:09Speaker 1: It's like when you go to a different team and
- 20:11Speaker 1: you're playing your old team, it's not there is just
- 20:14Speaker 1: a little bit more. It's not like anything against the fans.
- 20:16Speaker 1: It's not something like that. There's just that little oom
- 20:18Speaker 1: for your like trying to show them. They're like, this
- 20:20Speaker 1: is what you miss. This is like, don't you look
- 20:22Speaker 1: stupid or feel stupid now? It just it's added motivation
- 20:26Speaker 1: that just helps you kind of lock in for that game.
- 20:28Speaker 3: I guess.
- 20:28Speaker 1: So you always see these players kind of play better
- 20:30Speaker 1: when they go against their former team.
- 20:33Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, Metsica. I mean they've got a pitching machine
- 20:36Speaker 2: going right now. Right they're pitching programs really working well.
- 20:39Speaker 2: There's some guys that have gone over there the last
- 20:41Speaker 2: couple of years and shined. So here they are Mets
- 20:44Speaker 2: a half game better than the Phillies right now in
- 20:46Speaker 2: the East four. Yeah, it's tight. It's tight at the
- 20:50Speaker 2: top there. But now that they've lost three starters in
- 20:55Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, Todd father concerned or Montash
- 20:59Speaker 2: just came back, man, I had a set back, but
- 21:02Speaker 2: hopefully he's coming back soon. To concern level very really yeah,
- 21:07Speaker 2: I'm a concern turn.
- 21:08Speaker 3: The injury is a bummer. I mean yesterday they look good.
- 21:12Speaker 3: I you know, the Mets when we were talking the
- 21:15Speaker 3: beginning of the year, just one of those teams just
- 21:17Speaker 3: like the Yankees to I don't mind to bring them up,
- 21:19Speaker 3: but you looked at the pitcher and you had an injury.
- 21:21Speaker 3: I know they had certain guys that need to step up,
- 21:24Speaker 3: and they did. But if you were a Mets fan
- 21:26Speaker 3: saying where you were coming into the beginning the year,
- 21:28Speaker 3: you would take this all day, every day. But you
- 21:31Speaker 3: can't have any more of these injuries. These are big.
- 21:33Speaker 3: These guys have been playing very well. They won a
- 21:38Speaker 3: good game yesterday, didn't win the series, so they've kind
- 21:41Speaker 3: of gone into a little bit of a lull, just
- 21:43Speaker 3: like you know the crossdown team. But yes, a little bit,
- 21:46Speaker 3: I would say, a little bit concerned, not very concerned.
- 21:48Speaker 3: So I'm hoping they bounce back. There's nothing better when
- 21:51Speaker 3: both New York teams are playing great, and it would
- 21:53Speaker 3: be awesome to see the teams keep rolling. This race
- 21:56Speaker 3: is are in the East are getting very very tight, man,
- 21:59Speaker 3: and nobody's talking about the Tampa Bay Ray. So here
- 22:02Speaker 3: we go.
- 22:02Speaker 2: Yeah, you worried about the Mets, Kip. I mean the
- 22:08Speaker 2: thing for me is, I don't think that lineup is
- 22:10Speaker 2: fully hit it stride. I think now it's starting to
- 22:13Speaker 2: because Wan Soto's having a ridiculous, June.
- 22:17Speaker 1: I mean, the lineups their strength right now, it's kind
- 22:20Speaker 1: of well, the whole team's been playing well to get
- 22:22Speaker 1: to this point. I think a good thing about I'm
- 22:25Speaker 1: just going to talk from experience here is within our
- 22:27Speaker 1: sixteen team in Cleveland, which with Lindora on that though,
- 22:30Speaker 1: so he was part of that where we had a
- 22:31Speaker 1: bunch of injuries and it was kind of a next
- 22:33Speaker 1: guy up. So I think he's going to rely on
- 22:35Speaker 1: that and tell this team like, hey, I don't care
- 22:38Speaker 1: who goes down, next guy's up, fill in for it.
- 22:40Speaker 1: I know it's a cliche, but it's just kind of
- 22:43Speaker 1: you accept the role and you get by and you
- 22:45Speaker 1: hover until some of these guys come back, hopefully if
- 22:47Speaker 1: they can, and till the bats kind of get even
- 22:49Speaker 1: hotter than that. But they built out such a lead
- 22:52Speaker 1: right now that they can afford the little little lull
- 22:55Speaker 1: in the year. But I mean, again, the season so long,
- 22:58Speaker 1: all these other teams are going to have them too,
- 23:00Speaker 1: So I think they're off to a great start. I
- 23:01Speaker 1: think they're in a great position right now, but there's
- 23:03Speaker 1: a lot of time left for the Phillies and the Braves.
- 23:06Speaker 1: I'm not even going to count with the Braves just yet.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Agree in the division, I'm counting them out. They're not
- 23:12Speaker 2: counting the metal. Yeah, they're ten games back, two teams
- 23:16Speaker 2: in front of them.
- 23:17Speaker 1: That's not it's that many games of the season. It's
- 23:22Speaker 1: too early.
- 23:24Speaker 2: We got like seventy five ish games left and they
- 23:27Speaker 2: have to make up ten games on two teams. Can
- 23:31Speaker 2: they make the playoffs? Absolutely? They could?
- 23:33Speaker 3: They can?
- 23:33Speaker 2: They can they win the division?
- 23:35Speaker 3: No way that If we're talking about the last month
- 23:37Speaker 3: of the year, then we're talking about two teams. If
- 23:40Speaker 3: they go on like a like a ten and two
- 23:42Speaker 3: spurt all of a sudden, they're gonna be five to
- 23:44Speaker 3: six out, you know what I mean. So yeah, and
- 23:46Speaker 3: if they're beating the teams like the Mets in the Phillies,
- 23:49Speaker 3: so there are ten games spurred away from getting right
- 23:52Speaker 3: back into this in my opinion.
- 23:54Speaker 2: So yeah, they're thirty seven and forty three. How many
- 23:59Speaker 2: games do you think the division winner?
- 24:02Speaker 3: Eighty games? You said seventy five, They got eight, they
- 24:04Speaker 3: got a half.
- 24:04Speaker 2: A ye, yeah, they got eighty games. We're at the
- 24:06Speaker 2: midway mark. We're gonna do our NL mid season grades later.
- 24:09Speaker 2: But my point is, if you're winning the NL East.
- 24:10Speaker 2: How many games are you winning ish? Probably ninety five nineties, Yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 2: and they but do the math on the record they
- 24:18Speaker 2: have to put together to get to that number.
- 24:21Speaker 3: I'm telling you right now. They can go on a run. Okay,
- 24:25Speaker 3: well they will they I don't know. But you can't
- 24:27Speaker 3: count this team out. They've they've been good for so long. Okay,
- 24:30Speaker 3: especially playing at home. The Mets play them in Atlanta.
- 24:33Speaker 3: It's three games right there.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just saying wild card. I'm with you. Division.
- 24:38Speaker 2: That's that's a tough battle. All right, One more bit
- 24:40Speaker 2: of news then we'll get to Ken Rosenthal coming up.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Cal Raley in for the home run Derby, Big Dumper.
- 24:47Speaker 2: No catcher has ever won a home run derby?
- 24:52Speaker 1: A great nick, right, big dumper, Kip.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Now he's a top five player in the sport.
- 25:01Speaker 1: No catchers ever won the derby?
- 25:03Speaker 2: Did you say apparently not?
- 25:05Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 25:06Speaker 1: Wow, that's kind of interesting. I'm trying to think back
- 25:10Speaker 1: of who that maybe like a Salvy or someone else,
- 25:12Speaker 1: But who else would have done?
- 25:15Speaker 2: I would have gone further back to like the steroid
- 25:17Speaker 2: era and found a few notable names, but apparently Ude Piazza,
- 25:25Speaker 2: those kind of guys.
- 25:28Speaker 1: As never want to krats, never want to.
- 25:33Speaker 3: Cross. He won an Amish Derby.
- 25:40Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it's a stupid question, but he can
- 25:42Speaker 2: win it, right, You think he could win one?
- 25:44Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 25:45Speaker 1: Absolutely? All is hot the one night.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know there's some guys. I mean, I
- 25:54Speaker 2: guess the easy one to pick on is what was
- 25:56Speaker 2: it last year, the year before, two years ago. I
- 25:57Speaker 2: think it was Mookie was in and you're just like, man,
- 26:00Speaker 2: this guy's got pop, but it's not that kind of pop,
- 26:03Speaker 2: Like he doesn't look like he belongs with that group,
- 26:05Speaker 2: even though he's one of the best baseball players.
- 26:08Speaker 1: If there was like a pitcher on the mount throwing
- 26:09Speaker 1: ninety seven and all those guys were in a Mookie
- 26:11Speaker 1: might be the favorite, right right. My only my one
- 26:16Speaker 1: home run derby story is I won one in a
- 26:19Speaker 1: summer league under an alias under one of my teammates
- 26:24Speaker 1: couldn't make it or he went home or didn't know
- 26:26Speaker 1: he was in the derby and frigid. It was in
- 26:27Speaker 1: this Virginia Valley League and I entered. I was there
- 26:30Speaker 1: for the All Star Game that week and entered it
- 26:34Speaker 1: under his name, just because I was on the same
- 26:35Speaker 1: team and the only other teammate there so erzy and
- 26:38Speaker 1: ended up winning it.
- 26:40Speaker 2: No way, so like people thought that you were what
- 26:43Speaker 2: was the guy's name?
- 26:44Speaker 1: I was announced as Kevin Bishop. I was yeah, and
- 26:47Speaker 1: like I even heard someone of the stands, like I
- 26:49Speaker 1: thought he was righty when he when I got up
- 26:51Speaker 1: there and ended up yeah, I ended up going on
- 26:55Speaker 1: to tear. It was great, so much fun.
- 26:57Speaker 3: And I mean, but not you, because.
- 27:00Speaker 2: They sent him a million dollar check too. Kevin Bishop
- 27:03Speaker 2: made a million bucks on that dirty That's crazy, that's funny.
- 27:07Speaker 2: That's like a.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Movie, you know.
- 27:10Speaker 3: I I know we got to go to break, but
- 27:11Speaker 3: they did the million dollars the year after I was done.
- 27:15Speaker 3: I want it, of course. Pistol. Yeah, Clark appreciate you.
- 27:19Speaker 2: They're like, oh this is great. Let's let's give a
- 27:21Speaker 2: million bucks to the winner. So Pete a Lonzo's you
- 27:23Speaker 2: a lot of dinners. Al Phase two, So who advanced
- 27:26Speaker 2: for the American League side for this All Star voting?
- 27:28Speaker 2: Spend you know, a minute or two here, then we'll
- 27:30Speaker 2: do the National League later on. But you've got Kirk
- 27:33Speaker 2: against Riley for Catcher. I think that one's pretty obvious. Guys.
- 27:36Speaker 2: What about Bladdy Junior versus Goldschmidt. Um, just give me
- 27:42Speaker 2: quick hitters.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Who you got. I would say Goldie's not playing as
- 27:45Speaker 3: much right now. Yep.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Laddie Glabor Tours versus Jackson Holiday. That's a good one,
- 27:51Speaker 2: Oh boy Jackson.
- 27:54Speaker 3: I think.
- 27:57Speaker 2: Jacob Wilson versus Bobby Wood Junior Wilson's happened just as
- 28:00Speaker 2: good as a year of good luck.
- 28:01Speaker 3: I'll be with Yeah.
- 28:03Speaker 1: So wait, so round one is just strictly fan voting.
- 28:07Speaker 2: Round two is also fan voting, but now they narrow
- 28:10Speaker 2: it down so they can make more money and make
- 28:12Speaker 2: your vote ninety more times. So now it's just these
- 28:15Speaker 2: two matching up against each other, Alex Bregman against Jose Ramirez.
- 28:20Speaker 2: I mean Jay ram should take it, just because Bregman's
- 28:22Speaker 2: missed most of the first half, or at least half
- 28:24Speaker 2: the first half.
- 28:25Speaker 3: Now, No, I agree.
- 28:25Speaker 1: I'd kind of like to go into the All Star
- 28:27Speaker 1: voting a little bit. I'd almost like to see the
- 28:29Speaker 1: guys who deserve to be All Stars be in, and
- 28:31Speaker 1: then the fans can vote the reserves rather than flip flopped,
- 28:35Speaker 1: because it's cool fractual stuff in there, where it's like, hey,
- 28:38Speaker 1: I deserve to be an All Star. I have a
- 28:40Speaker 1: bonus on this. Why is this because a popular vote?
- 28:43Speaker 1: So I think the players who deserve to be in
- 28:45Speaker 1: there should be in there.
- 28:47Speaker 3: I think they should have player vote. You said player voting.
- 28:50Speaker 3: Is that what you said? Or I didn't hear you.
- 28:52Speaker 1: I'm sorry, yeah, player voting or just yeah sure early.
- 28:55Speaker 3: So I think it's great, but don't have that team
- 28:57Speaker 3: of the player vote, you know what I mean?
- 28:59Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can't.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Yeah, take out of it all.
- 29:02Speaker 2: I want to keep doing this. This is fun. So
- 29:04Speaker 2: the American League voting that's going on right now, next one.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Then we'll get to NL DH. Ryan O'Hearn or Ben
- 29:14Speaker 2: Rice made it as a finalist. He's fighting for playing
- 29:16Speaker 2: time right now.
- 29:17Speaker 3: Todd Father, Yeah, I'm biased. He's hit the ball very
- 29:21Speaker 3: hard this whole year. He's been a stud. I'm going
- 29:24Speaker 3: Ben reis Heer. He deserves it, I know, but he's
- 29:26Speaker 3: fighting for it. But when he's in he's really good.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Hey, O'Hearn might get trade. O'Hearn's got a one fifty
- 29:33Speaker 2: ops plus with the Oarls. He's gonna be a free agent.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Race is at one five averages one hundred. Well, he's
- 29:39Speaker 2: having a year and also he was on our Showkip
- 29:41Speaker 2: and thanked Craig Breslow for trading Rafael Devers away to
- 29:45Speaker 2: open up the slot.
- 29:50Speaker 1: I'm not going to comment on that too much, but
- 29:51Speaker 1: sometimes all you need is just to get your name
- 29:53Speaker 1: in that lineup to get going, and I think him
- 29:55Speaker 1: and Ben Reis are both taking advantage of that every
- 29:58Speaker 1: time they get the chance to be in that lineup,
- 30:00Speaker 1: are making damage.
- 30:01Speaker 3: M all right.
- 30:02Speaker 2: And then last one that we didn't get through from
- 30:04Speaker 2: the American League, Judge was voted in as a starter.
- 30:06Speaker 2: So here's the other two. So four for two spots,
- 30:09Speaker 2: Riley Green, Hobby Bayas, Mike Trout, Stephen Kwan.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Boy, I'm going answers on this one.
- 30:19Speaker 3: This is a tough one here, bro, because Trout's hurt.
- 30:21Speaker 3: He's been hurt as averages in there.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Just you could put Trout in and then you get
- 30:27Speaker 1: to replace him. So we get to pit two spots
- 30:30Speaker 1: with the other three. I'm gonna go with my Cleveland Walls.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Kwan. But can we tip the can
- 30:35Speaker 1: we tip the cap to Hobby Bias? I might go
- 30:37Speaker 1: Riley too, but can we tip the captain for like
- 30:40Speaker 1: going out and playing center and kind of reviving his
- 30:43Speaker 1: career a little bit.
- 30:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I'm tip I'm tipping it right now.

- 31:51Speaker 2: how you guys ready Catcher, Will Smith or Carson Kelly Smith?
- 31:57Speaker 3: Smith?
- 31:59Speaker 2: First? Is Freddie Freeman or Pete Alonzo. We've had this
- 32:02Speaker 2: battle a few weeks ago.
- 32:04Speaker 3: Remember it's tough for me, man, I love both of them,
- 32:08Speaker 3: but can't go wrong with either. I would, I would.
- 32:14Speaker 3: I'm with you on that one too as well. I
- 32:16Speaker 3: think you know I put everything in consideration. You know,
- 32:20Speaker 3: new guy Soto coming over, how you're gonna step up? Contract,
- 32:23Speaker 3: talks this blah blah, and he's coming out and he's banging.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got significantly better offensive stats now since a
- 32:30Speaker 2: few weeks ago. So I'm with you. I'm in. Could
- 32:32Speaker 2: tell Marte versus Tommy Edmond for second base, could tell
- 32:37Speaker 2: it he missed a month. But for me, I mean, man,
- 32:39Speaker 2: he finished what top three and m VP and all
- 32:41Speaker 2: that last year. I mean, I guess Edmund had a
- 32:42Speaker 2: pretty damn special year. That's there's cases there. What do
- 32:46Speaker 2: you got?
- 32:49Speaker 3: I think I'm sticking with Tommy.
- 32:50Speaker 1: I think I am too. Run the same page so.
- 32:52Speaker 2: Far, shortstop Lindor or bets.
- 32:58Speaker 1: I gotta go with my boyland Door.
- 33:00Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not close this year too, numbers wise with
- 33:02Speaker 2: those two Landor's got much better offensive end, defensive stats
- 33:06Speaker 2: Manny Machado or Max Munsey for third base. Oh man, here, hey,
- 33:12Speaker 2: let's look ahead. Let's check out some weekend matchups here,
- 33:15Speaker 2: So pick out something special.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Take a look.
- 33:20Speaker 2: I'll list some of the choices that you got. So
- 33:24Speaker 2: the Giants take on the White Sox, which is not
- 33:27Speaker 2: a sexy series. But they just got swept by the Marlins.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Not good. Not good if they're trying to keep up
- 33:33Speaker 2: for a wildcard spot in the NL West.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Oh, I got mine, all right? Then you can go
- 33:38Speaker 3: Seattle versus Texas, Gilbert versus Nathan Oh no, you can.
- 33:43Speaker 3: You can run with it with me because we're on
- 33:45Speaker 3: the same page this whole DAF Yeah, Logan Gilbert versus
- 33:50Speaker 3: Nathan Valdi. Texas is a half game out of the
- 33:52Speaker 3: wildcard Seahattle has the last spot. Hey, in Texas offense
- 33:57Speaker 3: has been struggle buses home as we talked about Ken,
- 33:59Speaker 3: will they still up up? This is too tall pitchers
- 34:03Speaker 3: going at it. I can't wait to see it.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, for Seattle, what do you got?
- 34:08Speaker 1: I was gonna say I'll pick another though, I will
- 34:10Speaker 1: go with the two division leaders. I'm gonna go with
- 34:12Speaker 1: the Cubs versus the Astros. I think that's gonna be
- 34:14Speaker 1: a good one. And I Tucker and uh Presley returned
- 34:17Speaker 1: to Houston, so I think that'll be a fun one
- 34:19Speaker 1: to watch, huh you?
- 34:21Speaker 2: So, Kip, you've got some Cubs work coming up.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be pre and posted
- 34:26Speaker 1: for the Cubs for the next week. It's gonna be fun.
- 34:28Speaker 2: Okay, So give me your take right now. And you've
- 34:31Speaker 2: been doing some homework on the Cubs. What do you
- 34:33Speaker 2: got for us?
- 34:34Speaker 1: No, I haven't. I haven't been doing any over.
- 34:38Speaker 3: Do you like them?
- 34:39Speaker 2: I love that the Cubs.
- 34:41Speaker 1: What's what's not to like? Their offense? I think they
- 34:44Speaker 1: just got to get the kind of guy to get
- 34:46Speaker 1: that bullpenal the pitching once that starts, even kind of
- 34:50Speaker 1: get on the same part as that lineup, because that
- 34:52Speaker 1: lineup is sure is fun to watch top to bottom.
- 34:54Speaker 1: They create runs and tons of different ways, and they
- 34:57Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on defenses. So I'm a
- 34:59Speaker 1: big fan of the Cubs lineup this year, as I'm
- 35:01Speaker 1: sure any Cubs fan is or anybody.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Yeah, they split the series with the Cardinals just now
- 35:07Speaker 2: and the big headliner actually was yesterday and in August back. Yeah,
- 35:12Speaker 2: five shouts, hit, a walk, three strikeouts, same manner ism.
- 35:17Speaker 2: Super fun to watch. Huge huge addition. I mean, he's
- 35:20Speaker 2: a one. They got their they got their one back.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Wait till he goes a little further in the game.
- 35:26Speaker 3: You have sixty seven pitches seven Yeah, yeah, that's not
- 35:29Speaker 3: bad at all. On the fifth you get him to
- 35:32Speaker 3: the seven there with that.
- 35:33Speaker 2: No, not bad at all. A couple others here and
- 35:37Speaker 2: by the way, North Side Territory, make sure you check
- 35:39Speaker 2: out the show on the Cubs with Sad Sharma and
- 35:41Speaker 2: Patrick Mooney and now merch available for you Cubs fans
- 35:44Speaker 2: out there North Side Territory shop dot com. Exactly cups?
- 35:50Speaker 2: You heard that? Hey, decent amount, A decent amount in life. Hey,
- 35:55Speaker 2: here's another one. Toronto's matching up against Boston. It's Burrios
- 35:58Speaker 2: against Bao. In game one of that series. I mentioned
- 36:01Speaker 2: how the Red Sox came crashing down. They've lost five
- 36:04Speaker 2: in a row, But forget them, what about Toronto? Where
- 36:06Speaker 2: are we at on Toronto? They're forty three and thirty seven.
- 36:09Speaker 2: I did a half hour this morning on their sports
- 36:11Speaker 2: network TSN. I was like, I would push chips in.
- 36:15Speaker 2: I mean, Springer's having a big, big bounce back year.
- 36:19Speaker 2: Bow's back on track, lady.
- 36:21Speaker 1: I was in Cleveland and Toronto was in town. They
- 36:24Speaker 1: look good. Gossman just threw a gem he absolutely shoved.
- 36:28Speaker 1: But yeah, no, their offense is starting to go. They've
- 36:30Speaker 1: got a lot of good little key pieces around their
- 36:34Speaker 1: big bats. So I think you said Springer and Vladdie
- 36:37Speaker 1: have been turning up the chets, having a little bit
- 36:38Speaker 1: of a bounce back year, But then it's the other
- 36:40Speaker 1: guys the bat. Their bottom of the order has been
- 36:43Speaker 1: it seems like every game there's one guy who's been
- 36:45Speaker 1: stepping up and having big games to in addition to
- 36:47Speaker 1: the middle of the order. So it's been fun to watch.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Dalton bar Show should be back. I mean, he
- 36:52Speaker 2: didn't give us an exact timetable when he was on
- 36:54Speaker 2: the show yesterday, but I would say within the next
- 36:57Speaker 2: couple of weeks would be my guest, and then Anthony Santander.
- 37:01Speaker 2: I don't know what the timetable is for him, but man,
- 37:03Speaker 2: if they could get a slice of what he did
- 37:05Speaker 2: last year because he was really bad to start and
- 37:07Speaker 2: now he's been on the shelf. But I mean that
- 37:10Speaker 2: was the big impact bat addition for them this offseason.
- 37:12Speaker 2: So we'll see Amenas hasn't really hit yet. I'm sure
- 37:15Speaker 2: you guys talked about that.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Yeah, not yet, but if he gets going, and he
- 37:18Speaker 1: always offers the glove though, he made some fantastic plays,
- 37:21Speaker 1: so he's just nasty on defense. So anything with the
- 37:23Speaker 1: bats just kind of added gravy.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Where are we at with Cleveland this weekend? Oh, they're
- 37:28Speaker 2: taking on the Cardinals. That's a good series.
- 37:32Speaker 1: Yeah, both teams kind of looking to get in the
- 37:34Speaker 1: win column right now.
- 37:35Speaker 2: Monday, Tuesday Wednesday shows in Vegas. We will see you
- 37:40Speaker 2: there with a star studded cast. For any of you
