  Speaker 2: enters the media and leads the baseball playing world.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Do not look at your Twitter, Do not look at
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: your Instagram because people are going to say stupid stuff
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to you. Just ignore it because people are stupid. That's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: all I can really say. Because they're gonna say, oh,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you know, Ross, You've pitched that one bad game back
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen and I still remember, and I cost
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: me my Fantasy League championship. Like nobody cares.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Well for one. Thank you for the welcome, aj. Your
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: retirement must have been a little different because mine is
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: mostly people say nice things. So I'll have to I'll
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: have to go back and read those read those comments
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: about you for a good laugh.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: There is a difference, a J. I don't think Ross
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: ruffled feathers the same way that you did.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: When you were playing.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I think that's a very nice statement.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ross is too nice and I understand. Ross is nice. Listen,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I get it. I get it, and I'm jealous of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the fact that Ross could retire and nobody gave him
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: any crap because listen, I haven't retired yet, Ross, so
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I could still come back and make an appearance and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: who knows, maybe.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Do it. No, hey, Ross could do the same. So anyway,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: all right, we'll do a few minutes. I want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: do a few minutes with Ross here and then we'll
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: dive into news and everything else. But we'll actually have
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: chat BCC help us out with fan questions.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: There you go if you want to ask him right
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: now live for the next few minutes, I'll give it
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: a look. Foul territory dot chat. Okay, Strip, let's start
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: at the top. I'm going to start with my own
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: question because I get to pick these questions. What went
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: into the retirement decision for Ross Strippling at this very time?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Was it difficult? What was the process?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, sure of course it's difficult, right, that's you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the massive chunk of my life that you're now you know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: quote unquote hanging up your cleats and moving on to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: what's next. It was a lot of things going on
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: in that decision. You know, I showed up to spring
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: training with the Royals on a minor league deal, feeling
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: good about where I was at and definitely thought I
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: had a chance to make that team, and it ended
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: up just kind of being more the same of the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: last two seasons in spring training for me, which was
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: like I felt like I was throwing the ball really
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: well and just had nothing to show for it. And
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I just think, you know, now a few months past
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: my playing career, you can look back and just kind
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: of think, you know, the game had kind of passed
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: me by in a couple of ways where my stuff
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: was still the same, maybe even better when I was
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: young and having success, yet it was leading to nothing
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: successful on the field for me. So I just think,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: you know, I couldn't put anybody a way, I couldn't
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: get strikeouts, and I think if you look at my
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: last two seasons, I just had to be perfect to
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: have success out on the field, and you know, that
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: just caught up with me. And I'm at peace with
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that for and you know, I feel good about where
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I'm at. I also had a kid on opening Day,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: my third son, so that made decision easier than you know,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: going to Omaha or somewhere to try and pitch right now.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: So actually thankful for that. That was a kind of
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: able to like sever it right there and just say, Okay,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: that's my career. Let's move on to dad life and
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: whatever comes next.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Congrats that of three. So how does that work?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: What most kids are like three or four kids, they
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: keep playing until they're like fifty, see Jamie Moore, see
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like some of these people that just can't. I mean,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Richill has kids, but he won't
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: quit playing either. So Ross, I mean, drop down, throw
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: big curveballs that you know you can pitch all up
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: you're one hundred.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know at the part of me thought
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I was going to do that and it just wasn't
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: in the cards. So you know, here here we are
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: talking to you guys in the in the late June,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: so it's it changed in a hurry.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: One follow up here from a stuff perspective, how do
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: you know when you're not getting the results. Obviously you're
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: seeing the hitting results, it's coming at you, But is
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: there something that you can pinpoint because usually we're just
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: looking at velocity numbers, But what else was it that
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you noticed where you're like, hey, this is just not
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: clicking for me to get the outs that I'm used
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: to getting.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, biggest thing that I touched on was swing and miss. Right.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I just I really lost my ability to put someone away.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: So what you notice is really with any lineup. But
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: let's say a good lineup Dodgers, Mets, Yankees, etc. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you get to like the show, Hey Mookie Freddie Combo
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a second time through, and you're just like, I don't
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: have anything to get these guys. I don't have anything
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to put them away with. So I would get to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: two strikes on really slightly above to really good hitters,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and you could tell they were still getting their a
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: swing off against me. Right, They weren't going into any
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: two strike adjustment. They weren't scared of anything that was
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: going to throw up there. They still felt like they
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: could get their best swing off. And I think when
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: you're still giving up a lot of hits and specifically
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of damage with two strikes, that's when you know, like,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: all right, I just you know it's not what it
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: used to be here.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So AJ let's bring in a fan
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: question or two. I'm gonna see if we can get
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: like a angry yeah.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: BCC October eleventh, Florida at Texas A and m is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Ross getting me tickets and he's giving me those field passes.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, how are we going to work this out here? Ross? Like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I'll reciprocate in Gainesville. But you know, October eleven, Florida,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Johnny Manziel's But I mean, where are we at here?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, we'll make that happen. Guarantee it. If you make
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: your way to College Station, Texas, I'll meet you up
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: there and we'll we'll get you right down on the
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: field next to those big boys and we'll watch it
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: in person.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: A J. Let's put Ross on the hot seat for
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a couple more minutes here. So this is this is
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: a softball question. It's a layup question, but then it's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: got some spice on the back end of it. So
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: from Abe Heystrip, what was the biggest difference between the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Dodgers and the A's And why does John Fisher have
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: no feel as an owner?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I saw I saw May May took some shots at
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: John Fisher yesterday. Maybe I'll just let those rest in
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: the ether and let him take on that one. You know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: the biggest difference between the Dodgers and the A's are
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: really the obvious things that everyone knows, which is just
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the investment in the stuff even outside of players, right,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: which is like in the analytics department, in the scouting department.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: You know, Friedman has nine other assistant gms that have
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: been gms of other teams, are going to be gms
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: in the future, that are you know, along his side
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: when he makes decisions. Their strength training staff is amazing. Like,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you know, the the investment that the Dodgers have done
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: in like human capital is bar nunn as far as
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the other teams that I've played for, and then and
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: then their ability to relay information down to the players
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: through all those people that I just talked about is
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: also elite. So you know, one thing that I said,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I think I might even said on the show is
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: like when I was really scuffling as an A and
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: maybe I had three four bad outings in a H
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: and I was like looking for answers, it was very
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: much like, hey, strip, like we're seeing a lot of
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: good things. Things are going to turn around for you,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Versus the Dodgers were like, hey, let's get Andrew Friedman
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: two pitching coaches and one of our analysts in a
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: room and we're not gonna leave this room until we
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: put a plan together. And your next outing is gonna
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: be better. I guarantee it. And I just I think
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the proactiveness of the Dodgers, as well as like the
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: wealth of information, their ability to relay it is just
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you know, that's the reason they're the juggernaut they are.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Obviously they pay for the talent they have, but then
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: their ability to develop and then get information to those
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: talented players is just it's elite.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Boom.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I'll did two quick hitters for you, and then we'll
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: touch on our charge the Mound topic for a few
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: minutes before we get to guests, which includes two of
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: strips friends, Gavin Lux and Joe Kelly coming up later.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: All right, here's sean hardest hitter you ever faced.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mine's I get this one all the time. It's
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: an easy one to answer. It's Mike Trout, which I
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: will take happily to say. You know, arguably one of
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the best hitters of all time is you know, as
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: my kryptonite. But it is true. The facts are right there.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: You can go look him up. He's something like nine
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: for fourteen with three homers in like a two thousand
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: ops against me or something. I don't think, you know,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: a debut in sixteen. I don't think I got him
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: out until twenty nineteen. And keep in mind, this is
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Dodger's Angels, so I play him like six times a year,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: so it's not like I'm only facing him every now
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: and then. So yeah, he had my number. Well, talk
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: about like not having something to get someone out. You know,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: you can beat Trout up with v LO, Like if
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: you throw ninety five plus, you can live up in
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: the zone and you can get Trout out pretty consistently.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't have that at my rshals, So I was
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: throwing him soft down on a way which he likes
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: to just pull about four hundred and fifty feet into
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: the stands, so that he is just a horrific matchup
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: That's a fine name to include there. And then Joseph
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: asks favorite ballpark to pitch in, and obviously let's well,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess we could include Dodger Stadium, but
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: favorite ballpark to pitch in?
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the two ones that are stuck in
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: time are always my favorite. Finwayne Wrigley, There's just there's
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: nothing like it. You know, it feels like you're still
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: playing baseball in like the nineteen thirties, which I think
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: is so cool. And then obviously they update, especially Wrigly
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: updated as far as the amenities for players, so then
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: it became an awesome place to go as a player,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: and then obviously awesome once you're on the field. Was
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: able to pitch and play in both in the postseason,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: which you know, those places were rocking during that. So
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: I think that's an easy answer. Wrigley and Infant way Boom.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: You're off the hot teap for now, but there could
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: be more later. We answer questions throughout the show every
• 9:29

• 9:32

  Speaker 2: you have any questions, I'll check them out too, for
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Joe Kelly and for Gavin Lux coming up later. Just
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: reply to the same thing I threw out there for
• 9:42

  Speaker 2: with the code foul Now, let's charge. Let's charge the bell?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: All right, AJ, what do you got on the first
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: team to fifty wins? Trek Schoogle and the Tigers dominating.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Ohoo, Well, Scoople didn't domin by the way, he actually
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: gave up to two run homers one door guy Brent Rooker,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: but and our other guy Denzel Clark, so he gave
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: up two homers and after that he settled in nicely.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: The Tigers are good, man. I don't know how you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: don't say they're the best team in the AL with
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: their lineup. If you have this guy leading your rotation
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and Claherty my some of the guys backing him, Olsen
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: whoever it is, and the way aj Hinch the hitch
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: can can manage a bullpen. I think they're the best
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: team in the American League and they have a great
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: shot to make the World Series.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: They've got the best record in baseball right now. Strip
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: they're nine and a half games clear of first place
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: in the AL Central. What do you think of the Tigers?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And you know, when you watch Tarrek scoogl who yes,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I should say the team dominated score wise, but for
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: him it was actually a bad outing. What do you
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: think of what you see there?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think we're gonna get it to
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: it later when we talk about five of our you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: current favorite starting pitchers. I think we're both gonna have
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Schooble at the top of our list. I mean, he he,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you know, night and night out, when he takes the
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: ball is going to do something special and as much
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: watch TV as far as a starting pitcher goes, and
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: then when you look at him, I just think they've
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: done it the right way. You know, they have drafted well,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: torkl Sin and Miz and some of their big picks
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: are coming into their own as well as you know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: just like a young corps. And it's not like this
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: is a team that's just going to be good this year.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Like they look like they're starting in a little era
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: here where they could run their division here for a while.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: So I just think, you know, if you look back
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: at like the Astros who did it, you know when
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: they started getting Arrea on al Tuo, Bay and Springer
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: and those guys, like this kind of feels like it
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: could be the start of a run like that and
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: a winnable division with good young talent that they've built
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: from within. I think the sky's the limit for these guys.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: The thing I would be excited about if I'm a
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Tigers fan is the fact that they went for Alex Bregman,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: even though they didn't end up landing him, and I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: think they had the best overall guaranteed dollars offer, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Bregman went with the opt out after year one. Here
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it is showing you that the Tigers are not going
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: to hold back at the trade deadline and then of
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: course after the season. But if you're worried about twenty
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: twenty five, they're not going to be concerned about taking
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: on a big contract if need be, if it's going
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to help the team compete for a title in twenty
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: twenty five. Do you think that the Tigers can slay
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a team like the Dodgers, or even go down the
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: line strip in the National League to a lot of Juggernauts,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the Mets, the Billies, You can make a case for
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the Padres. I would say the Cubs are entering that
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: realm as well. Do you think the Tigers could have
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: win a World Series and slay one of those teams
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in the n L if they make it that far.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: No, I disagree with AJ there. I think when you
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: look at like what the Oklahoma City Thunder just did
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: in the NBA as far as two years ago, getting
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: some playoff Christening where they won a couple rounds and
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: then you get beat out. Last year that was kind
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: of Detroit right where they were able to get into
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: the postseason when it's insane, run in September and make
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: some noise, beat the Astros and you know, so they
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: were able to like kind of get their feet wet
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs there, which I think is huge, and
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: that experience is like, you know, you just have to
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: have it to get to the next level. But I
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: think when you're talking about meeting a team, let's say
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: specifically the Dodgers in the World Series, who's been in
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: how many five of the last nine of those things,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: like they that's a different level experience where I just
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think they'd be able to get over that hump.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be huge for them to get that
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: experience and go play a team like the Dodgers on
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: a stage like that. But as far as winning it,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, no, no fault to the Tigers, but I'd
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: take like the Dodgers in five maybe four if they
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: were to meet in the in the World Series.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: AJ you know what that sounds like that that sounds
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: like the Dodgers after they tore apart the Yankees in
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the World Series last year.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: You can tell the Ross pitcher with the Dodgers. Although
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the stats against me, I think
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I was one for one off Old Rossie there with
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a DARBI. He walked to me, which he walked me
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: by the way, which was impossible to do. So I'm
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: trying to look him up, but I'm having a hard
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: time finding him here. But twenty sixteen, I know I
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: got a hit in an RBI in a walk, so
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that's I'm sorry.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Ross.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've done this before. A j I think this
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: is now the third time that you've said this. I don't.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: It's not There's not many people I can do this against.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: But yes, he's right. Listen, the American League is weaker
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: than the National League. And I honestly believe if there's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: one team in the American League that can do it,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: maybe too the Yankees if freed and and he'll come
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: back and they get it Ryan. But I honestly believe
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that Tigers with schoobl Flairty gets to going mice, their
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: bullpen and their offense is the one team that can
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: really maybe do some damage against some of these National
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: League powers.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, something to think about would be like the road
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: to get there, right, Like if the Dodgers really have
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: to go through like maybe a tough series with the
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Padres and then a really tough series against the Mets,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: and they're like kind of beat up going into the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: World Series, versus let's say the Tigers just roll through
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: whoever it is they get in in the weak American League.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Like you say, like that that comes into play. You know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: if the Dodgers have had to play some seven game
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: series and the Tigers have been rolling people four or
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: five games, you know that that energy and freshness that
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: the Tigers would have I think would come into play.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: But I still think even in that case, I'm taking
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: l A in A in a World Series this year.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Also, who's pitching for them at that time? We don't
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: know that yet either. I mean, we've got a lot
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of rehabbing going on.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, does it matter? Did it?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: You know what they did the whole thing last year?
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: They have a single starter go more than five innings
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: in last year's postseason run. You know, I think it's
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: just yeah, but agreed, eventually those guys will come off
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the I L and then there'll be too many guys
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: to throw out there, So I'm not gonna hold that
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: against them until we see it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're back and we're kind of serving as a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: pregame show today because at two o'clock Eastern time, you're
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: you're totally good. Everyone watching White Talks and diamonds the
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: miss White. Yeah, exactly for AJ, but just leave us
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: on in the background to listen to us, please, that
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: would be great schemes again to Miserowski, that's the good
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: stuff right there, Aja. And it's packed. It's it's either
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: sold out or standing room only. As of last night.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Did you see the tweets that the Brewers are sending
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: out there's no parking in the main lots. You have
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to park in adjacent loss good for baseball. And if
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you see my tweet what I or X whatever you
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: call it, tweet dex whatever it's called. Can we get
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: a flex? Can we flex this game somehow to national TV?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Because this is the game everyone should want to watch.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Two young stud starters that throw a hundred and have
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: both been dominant so far in their careers. This should
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: be a game that should be put on TV somewhere
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: so everyone has easy access to it, not having to
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: go look for it and not have to find it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: But this should be a game that everyone has easy
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: access to see. You want to grow the game, Scott Ross,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you want to grow the game. Put this game on
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: national television.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agreed. I mean, do we even have that ability? Like,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: what does that exist in baseball?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: No? It doesn't. That's kind of what I'm saying. It's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: kind of what I'm saying, right Like, this should be
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know, I work for Fox, so obviously I'm biased,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: but like Fox, put it on Fox National New Fox
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: National on a Wednesday, and move this game to a
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: primetime game, not at two o'clock, one o'clock local game.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I know there's but it can't happen yet, but it
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: should at some point.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Here we are for two minutes, Strip, give us the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: call cal Rally or Aaron Judge from MVP right now.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: And this was through seventy seven games. He had another
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: RBI yesterday, so he's at sixty nine giggody, but thirty
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: two home runs ops is insane right now for cal Raley,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: and Fox showed a graphic the other day comparing him
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: to Barry Bonds through his first basically half of the season.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's still Judge for me, but it is close
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: and getting closer by the day. I would like to
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: see us side by side with Judge on where they
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: are currently. But I think it's is Cal only leading
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: in homers or does he passed him up in ops
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: and some other stuff?
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Now ops shouldn't count the Judge in Yankee Stadium versus Cal, Like,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: don't you want to go at least with an OPS
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: play us for those two on that one?
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Sure? Yeah? Yeah, where are we at on that? Any idea?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I'll look as AJ's comment because I know only I want.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: To go on the fact that Judge plays right field
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: and Cal Rawley catches every game. I mean that needs
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the matter more than anything. He catches. He doesn't play
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: right field. He catches every game, and he's got a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: big Dumper, great nickname.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: He does. He does. He catch every game, AJ.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Pretty much pretty much, and he doesn't catch dhs. He's
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: pretty incredible. I mean, I never thought I'd see a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: season like this from a catcher, but he's he's doing
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: it and it takes a historic season. And by the way,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that's a great sign. I like Big Dumper and I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: cannot lie. It's pretty awesome.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: He's at two oh three strip ops plus and Judge
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: is at two twenty eight, so he's still got a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: nice sat on the hitting side. Well, if you're a
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: normal human, you can't speak English to your pup. But
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: what you can do understand what they love, which is
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: spottan Tango nkibble, is to see how they react when
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: you put the unkibble in the bowl. And my pup,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: pen Lope loves it. So does Bella.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Well, Bella speaks Spanish, so she says, moybien, I love
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: this stuff.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: She says, Wow, Dad, thanks for creating a custom plan
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: based on my age, weight, breed an activity level. You
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: nailed it. And also it's made with one hundred percent
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: whole fresh ingredients like real USDA meats, fruits and veggies.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: But it's forty percent less expensive than frozen food. So
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: upgrade your pets bowl with spotan Tango unkibble and for
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: a limited time, go to spotantango dot com slash foul
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and use code foul for fifty percent off your first order.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: That's spotantango dot com slash foul, code foul to get
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: fifty percent off your first order. Hey, it's hot corner
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: time and yesterday to tell Marte was actually in tears
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: in the game. There was a spectator that was yelling
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: something to him about his late mother. Tells you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: mother passed away and it was during in that bat.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So after that he was, you know, kind of visibly upset,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and they ended up booting the fan. I think since
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: then they've banned the fan from either that ballpark in
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Chicago or all ballparks across the league. I think it's
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: all and you know, a bunch of the guys, like
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Perdomo commented after the game that can't happen. We can't
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: continue to do that. Yes, in here he used a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: bigger word that I can't use right now, and that
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the fan should be banned. AJA thoughts.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: This is tough because, first of all, let me say this,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I feel terrible for to tell Martine when happened to
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: his mother. Okay, I just want to let that people
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: know that. Here's here's my thing with this is this
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: is one why you shouldn't drink a games, because I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: don't know if this guy was drinking or not. Usue,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: when people drink, they get out of hand and they
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: say things they probably don't even know what they're saying
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I get it, it happens, and strip I think you
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: agree with me. People have said a lot of things
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: to me over my career, whatever you want to call it,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, they've said those things to me.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I just don't know where you draw the line. You
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: can't control every single fan that says something, and to me,
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: this is not knocking or putting down what happened to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: can tell Marte's mother at all, But where do you
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: draw the line. You know, he didn't physically attack him.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: He didn't do what they did against Mookie Betts. So
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: they grabbed his arm. They didn't do when the White
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Sox fans jumped on the field and beat up the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: first base coach, you know, back in what two thousand
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and three. So I just don't know. Just don't say
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: anything if you're a fan and just try to be
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: as nice as you can. I know you get mad,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: but again it goes back to alcohol probably, And I
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: don't know if this was a young kid. I think
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: he was twenty two years old, and from what I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: seeing on Twitter and being reported again, I don't know this.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: But just don't say anything about people's family, like the
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: line has to be drawn somewhere, and I don't know
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: where that line is, but this is a bad situation.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I feel sorry for could tell Martin what was said,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: but I just don't know where to draw the line.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Now we're going to suspend people that yell things at players.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: You got to spend half the damn fan base because
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: they yell stuff all the time on the road.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed, aj Man, Like, you know, it's a shame
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: that we're sitting here having to say, don't yell something
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: to a player about his mother, But you know that
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: that's where we are, and I agree that it's an
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: impossible line to draw. So I think what you have
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: to do is when things like this happen, it's it's
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: a real shame. But I think you have to bring
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: awareness and exposure to it and show Marte crying out
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: on the field so that some fans can see that
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: and see how it affects us. And you know, ninety
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: five ninety nine percent of fans are great and they're
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: not going to yell something about your mom. But the
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: one percent that do can see how it affects us,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: and maybe it makes them think twice, and then this
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: happens less and less so it really is. It's awful
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: to see and we all feel for Marte for sure,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: you know, but I totally agree. I don't know. I
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: don't know where you draw the line. Like most of
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: it is a good fun Like if you ever had
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: the chance to sit out by the Yankees visiting Bullpen
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: or the Phillies visiting Bullpen, you're gonna hear some of
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: the funniest, most outlandish I guess crap talking that you
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: can hear, you know. But when when it crosses a
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: line like this, I think we need to be able
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: to bring awareness to it, to show that it's going
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: too far and it can't happen.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: So my thing is I'm kind of in between here.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: I'm definitely all for setting a precedent and telling fans
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: like be like you want to say, hey, you stink,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: you can't hit whatever, but let's create a line. It
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: does get difficult because you're getting into semantics of what
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: someone can and can't say. What I would like to
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: see is for in my mind, some of the bigger
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: physical issues that sometimes pop up create a fan band
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: from all stadium situations, because that's apparently what we have here.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's for life or just for
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: this year, but he's at least banned from all MLB stadiums.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: It could be deeper life. So strip the difference between
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: that which is awful to screen words like that at
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: someone versus two fans trying to rip Mooki Betts's arm
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: off last year in the World Series. Are we serious?
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Both are awful? Right any anytime a fan is
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: physically making uh, you know, putting their hands on a player,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: that that we you never see that, right, I mean
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: that that never happened, So that that was an insane
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: visual where that fans pulls Yankees, pulls Mooki's arm and
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: is you know, almost being violent with the with the
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: face that he's making. That that was disturbing in a
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: lot of ways. So that that guy lifetime band for sure.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: As far as you know, yelling some stuff, you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: we keep harping on it's impossible to draw the line.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: But yeah, when you're crossing like the line of physical
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: physical violence or physically you know, altering player, I mean
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: that that's that's totally different.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: But that's my thing is I don't know, I got
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to look back to see if they're banned for life.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: I know that they got somewhat of an indefinite ban,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: but the point making originally when it happened, what.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Well, how does the band work, Like how can we
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: actually enforce it that player? Did they have facial recognition
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: so that that's it's effective, like all thirty stadiums can
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: see like.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: They don't have those cameras, and they they do. I know,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I know that they get a list right like that
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: they have of people that you shouldn't let in the ballpark.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: So that's a thing too. I mean, not every fan
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: showing their face obviously when you're entering a ballpark, that
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: is probably going to eventually happen. I mean, that's what
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: they have at the airport. But yeah, I mean it's
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: not perfect. You can try and show up with the
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Bobby Valentine disguise and see what happens, but I think
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: then you're trespassing and can get put in prison. But
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: my point is, I mean, Aja, you remember this was
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a huge topic for us when it happened last year,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: and you know some podcasts were like joking about it
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: and a hahaha, it's so funny. But if like you
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: broke the dude's arm and those guys were trying to
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: get all the press and then they're crying about it afterward.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: They originally didn't get banned for like I think that
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: they originally were like gonna come back the next day
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: or something, weren't they.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, the Yankee idiots that did what they did
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: with Mookie, We're gonna come back. And now only that
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: they were on like talk shows and podcasts saying like, oh,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: we do it again. Man, we did it, We did
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: it right, and we're the it's our our place and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we're defending our corner like kick Rocks bro Like, no,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: you don't need to touch a player. You don't need
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: to yell at player. Listen, I understand booing. And you know,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: I mean if I try to get every fan that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: yelled something bad at me, Van heck Hatha legally be
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: banned because especially in places like Wrigley, Are you kidding me?
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: When I played for the White Sox, there were things
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that were yelled that you don't want to tell people.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Felt bad for my family sitting in the stands. But
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you know what, it's it's a difficult line to draw,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and I feel bad for kid. Tell Marte that it
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: affected him this way. I do, I honestly do. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the fan yelled. There's reports kind
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: of coming out on what he said, and it sucks
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: that disaffected him the way it did. And I love
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Tory Lovello for standing up for his guys, Perdomo for
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: standing up for for Cotel Marte and having his back.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: That's what That's what teammates and brotherhood and being in
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: a major league clubhouse is all about, is defending your guys.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I just I just wish there was a way where
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: we could get people to understand, like getting personal with
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: a baseball player, well, you feel cool for five seconds
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and then oh okay, and then everyone's like, oh, look
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: at you, You're funny ha ha. But it doesn't it
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be like that. I don't know. It's a bad situation,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: and I wish, obviously, I wish it wasn't a white
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Tuck fan. I wish it wasn't any fan. But come on, guys, Like,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: if I went to your job, this is what I
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: always tell fans. If you're sitting at a desk job
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: right wherever it is, and ross you know this. If
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: you're running your financial projections. And I came up to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: you and just started wearing you out. You suck, you suck.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: This about your mom, or this about your wife, or
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: this about your kids. Right, would you what would happen?
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: You would turn around and probably say something, maybe get physical.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: But baseball players and athletes in general just told to
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: sit there and wear it. Well, why, I mean, I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: not advocating guys going in the stands. I'm not advocating
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: fights at all, But why do we have that notion like, oh, yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: because you're on the field and I pay for a ticket,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I can say whatever I want. Like, let's not have
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that and let's look at it like if you were
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: at your job, whatever your job may be, whatever your
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: life is, if I came to your job and yelled
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: at you like that, would you get upset? Ninety nine
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: percent of the world would say, yes, guess what. Don't
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: do it to an athlete?
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Yep, No, it's thought that should be like an old
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: school and TV show where you actually get athletes to
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: go to people's workplace and do that. I think that
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: would be fascinating.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you wikipedia the guy that's sitting at a computer
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: and you're sitting there and I'm like, ross, you suck.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: They're terrible, and then try to type on the keyboard
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and let me know how it works out right. I mean, listen,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: most athletes have an incredible sense of ignoring people and
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: also just not letting things bother you. But every once
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: in a while, guy hits the right at home and
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a person hits hits you too deep, and people say
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: things back and it affects them, and it's it's a
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: sad state that it's come to this.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that fan is banned from all stadiums. Can
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: you imagine at a at an office, Hey, your TPS
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: report suck, They're not organized.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Chase Burns, but he punched out the first six guys
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: he saw. First six outs were punches. And by the way,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: nail my lock boom boom, five innings? Would I say,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Terry Franko and I'm gonna let him go five on
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: the number bang Lock checked in. He was he was electric.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: The Yankees got to him second time through Ben Rice
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: had an absolute bomb off of him. And but the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: biggest thing takeaway from this game is not only Chase
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Burns was really good and he's got unbelievable stuff. Yankees
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: suck an extra innings. We're gonna get into with Derek
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: the Yankee suck an extra innings.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: It was the first five, by the way that he
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: struck out.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Sorry almost, that's right. Somebody went round ball.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, three runs in five innings, a lot of ninety eight,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: ninety nine hundred on the fastball, a lot of ninety one,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: ninety two, even ninety three on the slider. I mean
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: he looks really damn good. And then one other note
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: too about the Reds. Jamie Candelario was dfaid. We didn't
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: have time to mention it yesterday, but we actually talked
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: about it, what two hours before it happened, aj when
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: we had c Trent rosecrants on the day before you.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Did, Scot kudos to you, patch yourself on the back.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: You said, when is Heimer Candelario going to get DFA
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: And then about two hours later you spoke it right
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: into existence because he was on well was aty on
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: rehabit climent.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I also brought it up because the signing was
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: weird at the time. Let's it better than box scores.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: It was a good Tuesday slate, tight Series eight seven
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: win for the Cardinals.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Hell shut the.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Door on the Cubs and what happened out here in
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: center field. Aj PCA or MVP candidate who's doing everything
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: right finally did something wrong.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah he was. He was the MVP for the Cardinals yesterday. Also,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: let's not forget, but he also had a couple of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: piss missiles in this game too, so uh yeah, I know,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: he just forgot it happens. Listen, Strip, have you ever
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: forgot how many outs? And we're I've done it before,
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: I've forgot how many outs, So we're it just is
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, he thought he made
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: a nice catch, He's like eh, and then the winning
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: run happened to score. But the Cardinals are playing well.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: The Cardinals won the first two games of this series.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: It's an important series, and they won the first two
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: games and they're going to continue to push, so we'll see.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: But the Cubs, like the Yankees, are starting to falter
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit and they're starting to feel a little
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: bit of heat from other teams in the division.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a little bit of a of a
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: black guy there on a perfect resume for him so
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: far this year, as far as like perfect scenario of
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: who is on second able to capitalize on that situation.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: One of the fastest guys in the big leagues. Uh,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: scoring from second there and then you know, ends up
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: being the winning run. So it stinks for him. It's
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: gonna be eye opening, and I think, uh, you know,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: an awakening. I guess of sorts of it. But if
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: you're gonna give anybody the benefit of the adapt the doubt,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I think it's outfielders. They're standing out there. We talked
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: earlier about fans chirping and stuff. You're you're you're listening
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: out of both the ears of people chirping at you
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: from both sides, and uh, yeah, you can get loose
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: focus every now and then. But my goodness, man, there's
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: only three outs. You got to count one, two, three,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: and uh, you're gonna do it a million times of
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: the course of your career. I just, uh, in my opinion,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: there's no excuses, but I do know what happens.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it led to Mason Winn scoring. Uh pesky
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Cardinals team shaking your head.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Agent, Now listen, all I've done it. I've done it
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: on the bases, get get thrown out. I think it's
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: three outs. I did a catching one time. I ran
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: into the dugout and Ozzie was Ozzie and Joey Kord
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: just stick to me and was like two. And I
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: was already in the dog because I think I was
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: leading off, so I was trying to get there quick.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And it was a second out and they're like, that's
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: only two and I was like, oh, so then you
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: just tuck your head down back to your position. Luckily
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: as a catcher though nobody scored, but still it's it's embarrassing.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: He knows it. And as Lupannela once told Milton Bradley
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in Chicago, you gotta put sunflower seeds in your pocket.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: One to three, we need three outs in this game.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: One that's crazy to me. The one that's crazy to
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: me is when the pitcher doesn't know he got three outs.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: Like sometimes he get the third out and like go
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: back on the mound like he's gonna get the ball
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: and get another out, and it's like, no, you got
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: three outs. You can walk to the dugout now. That's
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: that's the one that's crazy to me.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: That's when you're really dialed in and you just want to
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: keep going.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: The one that gets me. I never understood this listening.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: I made the mistake, but I always knew the count,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: especially when I was hitting. So when I was catching
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and hitters would go, what's the count? I was like,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: how do you not know what the count is? Right now?
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: There's there's a million scoreboards and this again, I made
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: the mistake of not knowing the outs, but the count
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: to me, especially when I was hitting, that's my bat, Like,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I have to own this avat so I know every
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: pitch and ball and straight here's we go. What's the count?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, we got this, dude.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I only hit like ninety three times in my
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: career or something like that, but I guarantee you I
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: knew the count in all ninety three of them. Yeah
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I can't. I can't that that. Yeah, just like lock
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: it in for those couple of minutes. How you could
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: ever forget the count is beyond me.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Let's get to the Mets and the Braves. Spencer Schreider
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: versus Juan Soto, I'm here for it. You gotta love this.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: SODA's like, nah, that's not strike three. He got wrung up,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: and Strider's like, it's right down the middle. I'm gonna
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: play the you know, the middleman here. It is strike three.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: It's not down the middle.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: No it's not, but you know what, I love it.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: Spencer Strider's tired of Umpires giving one Soda the benefit
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: of the doubt. That's a strike. I'm sorry. It's a
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: great pitch down and in and if you know, to Sodo,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Soda does this a lot where he's already flipping the
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: bat to take his walk, like we all know, he's
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: got a great eye. And Umpire's fall into the trap
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and this time the home I'm fired in. Do it
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: and Spencer Strider let him know the stuff. I love.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: It's a division rival. The Brave's not how important this
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: series is. They won the first two. But listen, Spencer
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Strider's letting want so I don't know. Look, dude, that's
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: a strike.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Swing the bat, Yeah, spot on, man, it's a strike.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: The only thing I would change is I would change
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: my verbiage. I would have said that's paint. That's paint.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I painted that pitch. I'm not gonna admit that I
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: threw it down the middle. I'm gonna say that's corner,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: that's paint, or that's right on the black, or that's
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: right where I wanted it, or something like that. You know,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna sit there and say it
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: through the ball down the middle.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Did you ever get into it with guys that were
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: trying to coax their way into a walk?
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: The famous one is that I went viral for on
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: this show is my Stanton one, which is is totally different.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: If you if you need a couple of minutes, just
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: google Ross strippling Stanton where I was a young guy
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: having to having to throw high end inside the Stanton.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: He starts coming at me yelling some words that I
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: can't repeat here, and me saying you're someone, come help me.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: But no, you know none that none that come none
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: that come to mind. But it happens all the time. Man,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's normal and across sports man. You watch
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: like basketball or something that people chirping it refs and umpires.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: It's just it's part of the game. Unfortunately, I try
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: a little time.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Dude. Oh there were guys that would take pictures. I'd
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: be like, strike, dude, swing the bat, bro, you don't
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: want to walk, like you get paid to swing the bat.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Swing the bat. They'd be like, oh I want to walk.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I'm like no, no, no, no, swing the bat. That's a strike.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I'd be hitting in it, and sometimes I pitchers would
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: be I'd take one. I'd kind of argue the umpire
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: and the catcher look at me and be like, that's
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a strike. I was like, okay, I'll shut them down,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: thank you.
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: You know, you know the one I get aj that uh,
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: that as funny as the opposite were. Like, let's say
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: I got two oh, and I'd throw a wrinkle too oh,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: like a change up or a slider or something two
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: oh and the guy grounds out, pops out or whatever,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: and then you know you're doing that inevitable run back
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: past the picture to get back to your dugout and
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: they'd mumble something out of your breath that once again,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: I can't repeat here, but like you know, some of
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: the lines of like throw me a fastball, you went
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: and you'd be like, dude, I throw ninety one. I'm
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: not going to give you a strike fastball on a
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: two account. This is the only reason I'm here is
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: because I can throw something in a two occount. That
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: those were always my favorite.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: One.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Guys would run by and just mother f me for
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: throwing him a wrinkle on a two occount. It's like, dude,
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: that's that's the only game I have here.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I would never do that. I would have never have
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: done that. I would never have been that guy. We
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and Justin Berlinder got into it one time because I
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: kind of did that with him one time. If you
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: ask the White Sox people, it's kind of a funny story.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: And then the next to back you know what he did.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: He threw one hundred by me three times and I
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: was like, you win, yeah, because he went yeah, and
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I was yelling at him from the dugout. I was like, well, fastball,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: you bleep that he bleep, and he next about he's
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: like okay. When I sat down real quick, and I
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, you win, so listen. Yeah. I would
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: never have done that to anybody.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's the difference. I didn't have that in my
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: back pocket. So when that guy came up next, I
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: let off with the pitch that I got him out
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: with last time, just to hopefully make him so mad
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: that then he sees red and then I can just
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: get him out easier.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Hey. Another note from Matt's braves. Uh Frankie Montas return
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: five shot out innings, three hits, three walks, five k's,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: so whatever they were trying to fix in the minors.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: They fixed it just in time. That's good for them because.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Their bullpen imploded.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Yeahed their bullpen had been so good in the beginning.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: But yeah, and then you had some guys.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: There so much. Here's the problem. Threw a lot early
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: in the year. So there, Strip, you can speak to this, man.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: They got tired. They're starting to get worn down. They've
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: thrown so many innings, their innings for a long time.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: They were one in baseball and innings. It's come down
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: But man, yeah, it's tough, especially you know, we're we're
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: not even at the All Star break yet, and if
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: you're starting to see some fatigue set in like that,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: that's that's no good. So it's you got to get
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: some some rush life in there. Give those guys breaks
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: where you can because it's a long season. We're not
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: even here in July yet. So yeah, that's the thing
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: for sure. Man. The teams that are elite at running bullpens.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: You talked about it earlier. I can't remember who we
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: were talking about. You said, Oh, Hinch is elite at
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: running a bullpen. Man, that's a skill and it shows
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: its way over the course of one hundred and sixty
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: two games. And it's a thing man, no doubt.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And also Sean Mania shut down for two to
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: three days is comfort from a loose body. And his
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: left at elbow will keep you posted on that one.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: People like this last time, so we're gonna do it again.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Read one of the fantastic unique creative recipes dishes on
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: Hello Fresh, Creamy Alfredo, truffle cabit, tappy pasta.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Have a toppy maybe, but I'll just go with the
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: Indian inspired chicken paired with turmeric rice. That sounds awesome.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Everything about this is delicious. Fresh comes in a little
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: bag and I like to cook, so I like to

  Speaker 2: The Rays one again last night. That's probably the quietest
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: run of dominance that we've seen this season. So their
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: record since May ninth, AJ for the Tampa Rays is
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: twenty eight and fourteen.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: The Tampa is working. Yeah, it's Tampa Bay Rays. Because
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the people in Saint Pete Sarasotol cry if you don't
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: call them Tampa Bay. So they're great, like Dirk something.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: They don't even talk about them. They don't even talk
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: about them. We had just had Derek on mister Yankee guy.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: They don't even talk about them.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: They're They're a good team. They can pitch, they got
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: timely hitting in junior common narrow. Let's get him in
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: the home run derby please.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: We mentioned Horondo is really good too, and TODs Bradley
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: dominated yesterday and there I think it was a five
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: to one win over the Royals.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Rondo's just had one thousand ops and triple A
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: the last two years and they finally decided to call
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: him up and let him go and here he is.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, the Rays just continue to do Rays stuff. Man.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Used to have the excuse of being like the trop
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: You go to the Trap, that's where you go to die,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: and they just, you know, beat you two to one
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: in the Trop in ninety two minutes, and you'd be like,
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: what the heck just happened. But now they're doing it
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: in this other park and making that an advantage for
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: them as well, all the while having the best road record.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Like it just said. So it's just like in the
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: Al East you got Juggernauts, and then you have the
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Rays just quietly doing what they do and sneaking their
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: way probably into the playoff picture and making some noise. Man,
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: it just they're they're impressive. They're you know, their model
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: driven whatever all that's is that they do, and it works.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: They're hot on the Yankees. Tell they're one game back
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: of first place in the American way.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: We changed too, Listen, they've changed their philosophy. Remember it
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: was opener and short starts. Now their starters go deep. Pepio, Yeah,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Taj Bradley and all these guys tell they go deep
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: into games. Now it's completely flipped.
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they've had five dudes make sixteen starts. I wonder
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: how many teams have that. I mean, when you have
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: that kind of stability and consistency, man, that goes a
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: long way. They don't need to do any of that
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: creative stuff. They're just running five dudes out there and
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: let them go.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: They're going against the grain they did back then. Now
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: they're going against the grain again while they're letting everyone
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: go a little bit deeper into their starts. And obviously
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: that's going to help the bullpen too. So very impressive
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: run right now from the race. Hey, yesterday, manager Don
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Kelly removed O'Neil Cruz from the Pirates game due to
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: quote energy and effort on the double play he hit
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: into in his final ab b DK was unwilling to
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: say if Cruise will be in the lineup before the
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: next one. Well, that was yesterday, and the Pirates and
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: the Brewers are playing right now, of course that's the
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: big matchup, and Cruise is back in that lineup for
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: a Pirates scene that's down three nothing. The miss is
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: outshining schemes right now. But what do we think here?
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Three nothing? Right? Oh, it's four now.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Jelli just got to hit with two outs some week.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: It four a lot of questionable defensive plays, including one
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: by O'Neil Cruz, but he did hustle after he missed it,
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: so we'll give him.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: That, okay. Yeah, and the Pirates are bad. It's been
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: a long time. He's only been on losing teams his
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: whole career so far. Strip dude's got a ton of talent,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: and obviously the Pirates, I feel like, are just trying
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: to send some messages like we can't be one hundred
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: lost team. Let's try and sit a guy for two innings.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's exactly what that is. You know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: the one in center field was a pretty bad look
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: and then double down on the double play. You know,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: that's normally the kind of thing you want settled from
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: like Andrew McCutcheon and in the locker room, you know,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: where a veteran guy comes over and has something to say.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: But sometimes that doesn't get it done. Who knows whether
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Couch did that or not, but sometimes the manager has
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: to go old school and do some of that stuff
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: on his own. And, like you said, on a bad team,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: trying to set the tone a little bit. So I
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: think that's what we're seeing here.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I actually think the Pirates could
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: be a sneaky team at the trade headline where you know,
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: somebody that you don't expect gets dealt because it still
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: seems like they're winning windows far away, so it could
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: clear payroll. I don't know, just something to keep in
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: mind because there aren't many sellers right now. I got
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: a few minutes for slap hands. First off, congratulations to
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: wit Merryfields, who officially announced his retirement with some social
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: media posts and what does he do? Also hop right
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: into the ft roster. So he's going to make his
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: guest hosting debut tomorrow with just like Ross's been on
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: the show many times, so we're looking forward to that.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: And in his retirement letter included a note that said, Philly,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: I liked you way more than you liked me. Sorry,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: I stopped for you. That's funny. It's a good little
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: line there.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: For keeping it so keeping it real. Listen, we all
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: we all went places where it didn't work out, and
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: you try your best. Sometimes it doesn't work out and
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: you feel bad for the fans. The fans would boo
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: you or clap for you or cheer for you. But
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: there were times where you just were like, man, I
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: can't do anything right and you feel bad, but not
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: like you were trying to be bad. You just were
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: very good.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm, got it.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: I got oh go ahead trip now I was gonna say,
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: I got two stops on my resume that didn't go
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: as well as I would have liked. And then last
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: thing with all time good dude played with them in Toronto.
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: Just a grinder of a player. Man was really good
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: on those Royals teams that weren't very good, and he
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: was like one of the only guys you had to
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: worry about, and if you got him first, he almost
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: certainly was going to steal his way a second. Really
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: enjoyed watching him play and playing with him.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Three time All Star mm hmm.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Great career, great career. By the way, before we go,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: I know we got to get off there quickly. But
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: it's my mom's a birthday today, So happy birthday mine.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: We love you and appreciate everything you did for me,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and as an only child, I'm your only child, So
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: happy birthday, Mom, I love you.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: She said, your favorite and least favorite kid. Happy.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: You know what I tell people, they say, what's it
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: like being the only child, and I told them after
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: my parents had perfection, they couldn't go anywhere but down.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: So they stopped.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Such an a line. And then the news on the
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: way out here h Cutter Crawford, who had not been
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: good but is out for the year. Apparently something happened
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: off the field. They said it was an accident. Here
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: it is off the field accident, not anything quote irresponsible
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: according to Alex cor We'll see if we get an
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: answer on that. But you know, it's it's been an
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: interesting turn.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I'll use the line that I've used nine thousand times
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: documentary on the Red Sox. Mistake should have been this year,
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: not last year. Last year was boring. This year is
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: non stop drama. Anyway, Strip this was awesome, man, you
