  Speaker 1: In Canfield. News Radio 570 WKBN. All right, 625, some
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: quick calls, if you will. You're on.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Air.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: You too.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I think this is important. There were two different instances.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: One was the Henry Novak situation in England, and that
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: actually happened in December. Six months had passed, and they
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: covered it up. Six months had passed. Finally, stuff starts
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to come out because of the trial. And that's why
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the English are so upset. And then this whole other
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: gentleman in Ireland that got attacked, you know, that was
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: just a couple days ago. And so now Ireland is
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on fire. And it happened in Belfast. So the one
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: was by a EU and the other was by a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Sudanese man. But my question is, like, so is there
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: any hope for the members of the EU? Are you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: familiar at all with their charter, and can they remove
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: von der Leyen, or is it just a matter of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: they just need to leave?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: It's sort of like John Thune here, right? I mean,
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: he does nothing that he was hired to do, and
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: yet we can't remove him. It's kind of the same thing,
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: because she's elected by the members of the parliament. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: so you've got to go through cycles of elections, and
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: you've got to win. and they continue to elect radicals.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: But if you look at some of the, like the
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: AFD in Germany is growing in popularity very well in
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: the last election. You see groups now in England that
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: are beginning to get traction who are absolutely pro-UK.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Reform UK.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, reform, exactly. So you've got these groups getting traction
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: across Europe, and the truth is it takes a massive...
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: a massive effort by the population to really make the
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: change because, like here, so much of the population is
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: ignorant and complacent, or duped, like the Marxist leftists here,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: that they won't, they'll let their country be taken over.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: They don't care as long as they get another party.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Colin, go ahead. It's hard to comprehend because,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you know, we elect a president every four years, yet
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Keir Starmer seems to be losing power, yet, you know,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he says he's just going to stay. Like, that's just
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: his edict.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Well, he could stay until the government falls, but look
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: at the last few when they fell. I mean, Theresa
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: May may have tried to do a couple things, but
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: she was only there for a few minutes. And, you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: that Rashid, I can't remember his last name. You know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: they've had a series of prime ministers. It really doesn't
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: matter if they take one out because the one that
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: comes after them is the same until the English people
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: rise up and begin to take back their city governments
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: in places like London and Birmingham. I don't think they're
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: going to have to do the same thing in Parliament.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: It's going to take a massive turnout that overcomes fraud
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: and where the political landscape is dramatically changed quickly.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with what G2 has been saying about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the situation in the EU and Ireland, caller?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. I just wanted to emphasize that they were
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: separate attacks because this isn't an isolated incident. This is
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: happening all over Western Europe. For Western Europe.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: You've got the knife attacks. You've got the acid attacks.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Remember when acid attacks were coming?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And a rape that's going on. Why do you think
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: this is happening, caller?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously, it's because of the import of, like G2
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: has been saying, I mean, fighter-age males. You notice they
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: never bring females over.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I'm out of time. Thank you for your call. Thank you, G2.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: We'll pick it up next week. Appreciate it. Guardians coming up.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: For the first of three against the Tigers here at
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Progressive Field. And it's the weekly minor league report with
• 4:03

  Speaker 4: Good evening, everyone.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Welcome to the Bet365 Guardians warm-up show. Tonight, from Progressive
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: Field in downtown Cleveland, it's the Guardians and the Detroit Tigers'
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: opening game of a three-game weekend series. Jim Rosenhouse, along
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: with you, about a half hour prior to tonight's first
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: pitch on a great baseball night downtown, and a Guardians
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: ball club trying to get back on the winning track,
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: they've dropped four straight. And they find themselves in second
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: place in the division for the first time in a
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: long time. They are a half game behind the White
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Sox in the AL Central heading into play tonight. They're
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: facing a suddenly surging Tiger Ball Club that is 7-2
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: in the month of June. And they're still in fourth place,
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: eight games off the pace being set by the White Sox.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Stay tuned. We'll have more to come after this. Welcome
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: back to Guardians Warm-Up. We are joined now by the
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Assistant Director of Player Development, Will Huntington, who's going to
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: bring us up to date on all the good things
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: going on with the Akron Rubber Ducks. They've been in
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Erie for a little bit, and Will, you had a
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: chance to see that club up there, and I know
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: some players have moved on to AAA Columbus, but some
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: others have moved in, and why don't we start right
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: there with Luke Hill, who started his year at Lake County,
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: but now is at AA, and It seems like he
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: hasn't missed a beat moving up a level.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It's been awesome to see the way Luke's kind of
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: just continued to do what he was doing in Lake
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: County once reaching the AA level.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: You know, Luke's a really high-energy guy. He's a competitor.
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: He's a worker.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: It's really cool to see the energy he brings to
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: the dugout, to infield work, to batting practice, everything he does.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And that shows up in the way his game translates to.
• 7:16
  Speaker 8: The AA level.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: He does some things that are really exciting from an
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: offensive perspective. He's a really good decision-maker at the plate.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: He's a guy that's going to hunt and attack pitches
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: in zone, while also being a guy that's going to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: be able to work the count, not going to chase
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: a ton. So that's something we've seen that's really exciting.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: He's a guy with some bat speed, some strength, some
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: ability to impact the baseball. Kind of a swing that
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: typically sets up to impact the ball to the opposite
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: field and kind of use the whole field. He's learning
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: to pull the ball a little bit and kind of
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: use all fields, which is really exciting for us. You know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: he's a guy we've seen play both second and third. And,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: you know, there's some really exciting physical tools that we're
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: seeing out of Luke. You know, he can really throw
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the baseball.
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: He can run.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: We think that's going to translate to a really well-rounded
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: overall player. Someone who's going to get on base a ton.
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: Someone who's going to hit for power. Someone who's going
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: to be able to, when he's on base, steal bases
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: and impact the game in that way and be able
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: to play a couple positions.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Also, again, being that, you know, guy that's going to
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: bring some energy, bring some competitiveness to the dugout.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: It's interesting it. He was part of that draft class
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: a year ago of college-drafted players who it seemed like
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: they all ended up at Lake County to start the season,
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: and now he's on the move. But that group as
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a whole, it seems like it's really exciting, and it
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: sounds like he maybe set himself apart, at least initially,
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: to get that call to Akron.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's one of those things where, to
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: your point, that draft class as a whole has been
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: really exciting and can't say enough good things about the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: strides that a lot of those guys have made, whether
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: it's Luke or some of the other guys that have
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: been at that level, just lined up that there was
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: a great opportunity.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: And, you know, Luke really did, you know, perform extremely well.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: If you look at his month of May, he was
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: named the, I think, the Midwest League Player of the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Month for May. And so obviously a lot of the
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: things that we've been able to see from him on
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the field have been really, really impressive and kind of
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: helped him make that jump up to double A.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: We'll switch to the mound in just a moment, but
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: we'll take a short break and be back with more
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: with Will Huntington after this.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: Here's the Bet365 Minute, where winning is everything, with Scott Davidson.
• 9:17
  Speaker 10: Let's check the numbers tonight, game one from Progressive Field.
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: The Guardians, the favorite, they're minus 125, and the total
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: is 8.5. And off that winter Wednesday on Tampa Bay,
• 9:26
  Speaker 10: let's get a weekend run going here. I like the
• 9:28
  Speaker 10: Dodgers on the money line tonight over the first place
• 9:31
  Speaker 10: White Sox. Now, The Dodgers are the best in baseball
• 9:34
  Speaker 10: offensively at 5.4. The White Sox hang with them. They
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: average 4.7 runs a game. The difference is defensively. The
• 9:41
  Speaker 10: Dodgers are number one overall. They only allow 3.3 runs
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: a game, and their bats are on fire. They've scored
• 9:47
  Speaker 10: eight or more in three consecutive games. Dodgers money line.
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: That's my play of the day today. Now, you can
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: join me when you download the Bet365 app. Remember, you
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: bet this or any money line all season long, your
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: team ever goes up by five runs or more, you
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: win even if they don't. It's the MLB early payout.
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: Terms and conditions apply. And that's the Bet365 Minute. I'm
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: Scott Davidson.

  Speaker 1: Welcome back.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: It's Guardians Warm-Up. Will Huntington's joining us. He's the Assistant
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Director of Player Development. Our weekly minor league report. We're
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: talking AA Akron this week, and we switched to the mound. Will,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of people are excited to see
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: the continued progress of Justin Campbell. Man, it took him
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: a long time to get healthy enough to show what
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: he can do, but it seems like it's starting to
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: get there now at the AA level. For fans who
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: don't know, how much has he overcome injury-wise? to be
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: able to go out there and pitch now at Akron.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Justin's been able, I mean, he's overcome, it's been
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a long road for him to get here and it's
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: been incredible to see what he's been able to do
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: since getting back. He's a guy that, you know, he
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: was part of the same draft class as guys like
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Chase DeLauder, Parker Messick, out of college as well with
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: those guys and just several years of kind of recurring injuries.
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: But the way he's gone about his business, the way
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: he's gone.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: About his rehab and the way he's partnered with our
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: staff to get him here, we've had a ton of
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: people that have poured time and effort as well as
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Justin has into getting him back to where he is today.
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: And it's been awesome. It's been such an organizational win.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: It's been such a cool thing to see the way
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: he's shown up and not only gotten back on the mound,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: but done so in a way that's been, you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: truly dominant, you know, some of the performance he put
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: up in high A in the Midwest league with Lake
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: County was, you know, striking out a ton of hitters,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: limiting walks at a good clip, limiting damage, And we've
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: seen a lot of that, you know, a lot of
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the really exciting things that he's been able to do,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: carry over to the AA level. We've been able to
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: see him, you know, take on a little bit larger workload,
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: work deeper into games. Obviously a guy that, you know,
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: big frame, striker, there's a lot of things to be
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: really excited about. Also trying to be mindful of, you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: the best buildup and, you know, what's going to work
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: best for him.
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: But really, I mean, we've seen about as good as
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: we could.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Have, you know, hoped for and expected with Justin, some
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: of the things he's been able to show.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: It's a well-rounded mix.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It's five pitches, the ability to get lefties and righties out,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: a guy that's.
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: Kind of finding his way in affiliate life and also
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: kind of emerging as a bit of a leader on staff.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: So it's been really cool to see the way that
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Justin has kind of been putting the pieces together both
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: on and off the field after all that he's overcome.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: All good stuff at AA Akron, to be sure. Will,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: thanks a lot for coming by this week, and we'll
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: catch up with you down the road.

  Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Bet365 Guardians Warm-Up Show. Let's check
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: in on our Northeast Ohio pregame weather forecast from WKYC.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: It's presented by Window World.
• 14:50
  Speaker 18: Cold front has moved by, and now it's cooler and
• 14:53
  Speaker 18: less humid. Clear skies all evening and overnight long. Evening
• 14:56
  Speaker 18: temps falling out of the 70s. Overnight lows in the
• 14:59
  Speaker 18: lower 60s. Saturday, we're heating up, but humidity staying low.
• 15:03
  Speaker 18: Bright sun, a high of 88. From the 3 News
• 15:06
  Speaker 18: Weather Center, I'm Mark Johnson.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Couldn't ask for a better night at the ballpark? Tom
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Hamilton will check in with manager Stephen Vogt when we
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: come back. It's the Key Bank Manager Show next.
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: 855-815-GOLD.
• 15:19
  Speaker 16: Hi again, everybody.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: With Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt, this is Tom Hamilton. Welcome.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: It's the Manager Show brought to you by Key Bank. Well,
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: the Yankees are out of town. You're done playing them
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: until hopefully October, and you get back in the division.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: And before we start talking in specifics here, you have
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: not played many games in the division. Now, you'll end
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: up with the same amount, but it's kind of bizarre
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: that way.
• 15:55
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I feel like we've played a lot of National
• 15:56
  Speaker 14: League teams so far this year and some really good ones.
• 15:59
  Speaker 14: And so it's been a different schedule. It's been a
• 16:02
  Speaker 14: different balance. But like you said, everyone plays everyone. Everyone
• 16:04
  Speaker 14: plays the same amount of games in division.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: And Here we go.
• 16:07
  Speaker 14: We've got our second go at it with the Tigers.
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Voter, even though you're not 19 games per division full,
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: you're still 13, and you won the division title last
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: year because you were the best team within the division.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: Is that still critically important?
• 16:22
  Speaker 14: I think so. Again, we love playing our divisional opponents.
• 16:26
  Speaker 14: We know that the games mean more. We know that
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: they help us in the long run, but If anything else,
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: we're familiar with them, and they're familiar with us. So
• 16:34
  Speaker 14: that's why these games are always battles when we play
• 16:37
  Speaker 14: divisional opponents.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: Seems like a long time ago that you swept the
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: four-game series in Detroit. It's a totally different club now.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're healthy.
• 16:45
  Speaker 14: I mean, they're getting healthier, and obviously we're going to
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: see some different pitching this weekend. But, you know, again,
• 16:52
  Speaker 14: these two teams know each other. Even though they were hurt,
• 16:55
  Speaker 14: we know about these guys. We know what they can do,
• 16:58
  Speaker 14: and it's going to be a really fun weekend.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: The thing they've turned it around with has been their offense,
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: and they get a number of those guys back, but
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: they lead the league in slug, they lead the league
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: in runs scored in the month of June. You've gone
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: the other way. How do you get that back?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Go play.
• 17:15
  Speaker 14: Everybody goes through ebbs and flows, and it's like I
• 17:18
  Speaker 14: always tell the guys, there's no prize for first place
• 17:20
  Speaker 14: in May, or there's no prize for first place in June.
• 17:23
  Speaker 14: All that matters is at the end of the year,
• 17:24
  Speaker 14: we're playing our best baseball, and we're at the top,
• 17:26
  Speaker 14: and we have to grind through these times tough stretches.
• 17:29
  Speaker 14: Every team's going to go through little lulls. Every team's
• 17:32
  Speaker 14: going to have, oh man, what's going on with the
• 17:34
  Speaker 14: offense the last week? You guys haven't gotten a hit. Well, yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 14: what about the seven weeks before that? We were getting
• 17:38
  Speaker 14: some hits. So we got to continue to stay consistent
• 17:41
  Speaker 14: with our work and stay consistent with helping these guys
• 17:44
  Speaker 14: develop and get better. And that's what the coaching staff
• 17:46
  Speaker 14: is doing.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Well, and obviously it seems like every game comes down
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: to innings seven, eight, and nine. One thing about your
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: young kids, they're getting Battle tested as far as batting
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: with the game on the line late. Yeah.
• 18:00
  Speaker 14: And, you know, the other thing, too, that I talked
• 18:02
  Speaker 14: with Travis and Chase both this last week of you
• 18:05
  Speaker 14: guys just got a taste of playing the New York Yankees.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: And those games were not comfortable.
• 18:11
  Speaker 14: They were close. And you guys are hitting at the
• 18:13
  Speaker 14: top of the order, which means you're facing the starter
• 18:15
  Speaker 14: three times and you're facing the cream of the crop bullpen.
• 18:18
  Speaker 14: And so helping them understand this experience that you're getting
• 18:21
  Speaker 14: playing these meaningful games.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: How tired are you?
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 18:25
  Speaker 14: Exhausted because mentally physically emotionally it is exhausting when you're
• 18:29
  Speaker 14: playing these type of games and so i think these
• 18:31
  Speaker 14: learning opportunities are going to be huge in the long
• 18:34
  Speaker 14: run for these guys.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: And it's obviously important you keep your pulse on them
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: too right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 14: Yeah absolutely check in with them almost every day so
• 18:41
  Speaker 14: um all of our coaches all of our staff we
• 18:44
  Speaker 14: are working our backsides off to help these guys develop
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: and learn and boy are they fun to watch.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: This might be one of the best days ever. Could
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: be today, could be tomorrow, could be Sunday, but Daniel
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: Espino is here. It is such a good story.
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: Just so thrilled for Daniel, his family, everything he's been
• 19:02
  Speaker 14: through injury-wise, and what a really cool story for our organization,
• 19:07
  Speaker 14: the medical staff in particular, that we helped this kid
• 19:11
  Speaker 14: get through this. He was an unbelievable person and teammate
• 19:14
  Speaker 14: through the process, and I couldn't be more happy that
• 19:17
  Speaker 14: Daniel Espino is going to get to throw a major
• 19:18
  Speaker 14: league pitch here this weekend at some point.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: How much can you use him?
• 19:23
  Speaker 14: I mean, he's built up. He's ready to be a
• 19:24
  Speaker 14: bullpen arm. He's ready to handle the rigors of that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 14: Obviously we're going to be very mindful of how we
• 19:30
  Speaker 14: use him, but he is healthy. He is pitching and
• 19:33
  Speaker 14: we can't wait to give him the ball late.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: In the game. Well, there are obviously perfect scenarios. You're
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: up eight to nothing. He gets to make his debut.
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: Never works that way, does it?
• 19:43
  Speaker 14: No, it doesn't. Um, We always look for a soft landing,
• 19:47
  Speaker 14: so to speak. There's no soft landings in the big leagues.
• 19:49
  Speaker 14: and there's no soft landings with us. So Daniel will
• 19:52
  Speaker 14: get the ball when it's his turn, and like I said,
• 19:54
  Speaker 14: we're just beyond thrilled for him.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Hey, what about Eric Sabrowski? Is he getting close?
• 19:59
  Speaker 14: He threw a live batting practice yesterday, so he faced
• 20:01
  Speaker 14: hitters for the first time. So we need to see
• 20:04
  Speaker 14: how he feels playing catch today, and then we'll determine
• 20:06
  Speaker 14: the next steps for him.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Will he have to go out on a rehab before
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: you bring him back?
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 20:10
  Speaker 14: Yeah, we need to make sure that he throws at
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: least once, if not twice, to make sure that he's
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: not feeling anything because we know how valuable he is
• 20:18
  Speaker 14: to us, and we need to do what's right for
• 20:20
  Speaker 14: him and for us in the long term.
• 20:22
