  Speaker 1: The leverage for him to say I'll go to New
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: York or I'll go to the Dodgers. Comes Okay, Well
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: what else can I get? Can I get an extra year?
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Can I get my player option declined on the end
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of the contract? Can I get it picked up automatically? Hey?
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Hey, you want to blow trivia to start the day?
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Get it? So?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You know how there have been a decent amount of
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: firings really this season with managers mid season and then
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: at GM just recently as well. They're all connected to
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: one name in baseball, and he has joined us on
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the show somewhat recently. He's a somewhat frequent guest on FT.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Do you know who it is?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Rob Manford.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Man mondays.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: See a player right now currently manager? Former? I mean,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: but another one Joe Joe Madden.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So Joe talked about this on his pod the other day.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Derek Shelton was a hitting coach with him in Tampa
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Bay bench coach bench coach Davy with Cubs and he
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: worked with him in with the Rays. Bud Black was
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: on the Angels staff. Brandon Hyde was part of that
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Cub's coaching staff and ready for the kicker. Mike Rizzo
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: played for Joe Madden in his first manager gig. I
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: mean that's everyone a Jay, that's everyone that's been.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Fired pretty much. Yeah that is you're right.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get out or it's time for Joe to come back.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: That might be it start a new web. All right,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that's your tribute today, sponsored guy nobody, thank you. Well
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: if you like us, let's all right. The miz is
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: so legit twelve strikeouts over six innings, wan and run
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in a win over the Dodgers. Otani got to him.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: But that's all, folks. He's got a two eight one
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: era AJ. He is a deal in. And it's not
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: just the confidence, it's the command. All I remember reading
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: about with Jacob Menzowski for years is how they're super
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: concerned about him consistently finding the zone and working the corners.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: And that's all I'm seeing from him. So he has
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: clearly figured it out. There were labels on him that
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: he might end up as a reliever, a dominant, high
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: leverage guy, which you totally could see. But you'd rather
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: take what you're seeing now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Oh he's good, Hey kidding me.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: He I'll do a little legend in Kershaw gave up
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the leadoff homer and then after that, what twelve punches
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: and six innings?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Was that?
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: What it was?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I think he was nasty. It was a fun game
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: to watch. Brewers did just an offensively their bullpen. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: got a little shaky at some points, but listen, ms
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: was Mis was real. Mis is real if he throws
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: it over the plate. He had the one clunker against
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: the Mets where they jumped him early and jumped on
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: his fastball early. But other than that, this guy's been
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: really good. Man, this kid's been good, and I'm happy
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: to see it because on team Poland, he's going to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: be the ace.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Ah yes, yes, that'll be a n i T tournament
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that team Poland's gonna make. Or are they gonna be
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: able to qualify? From now until then? We'll see. But
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to me, people are like, ah, man, you know, command, command,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. I think young pitchers need confidence, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he showed me a lot of confidence. And you gain
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: command from confidence. He's not afraid to throw the ball
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in the zone to get outs, which is even more
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: impressive because first at bat, Shoho Tani went deep sauce
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: off off the centerfield batters eye. That'll shake your confidence
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: because you know wait a minute, I got this. This
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: line is legit. I feel like I got this guy
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: two strikes, threw a decent pitch down in the zone
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and he clipped me. But he wasn't afraid. He wasn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: afraid to stay in the zone. If there's a value
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that you can tell any young pitcher, whatever level it is,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: throw the ball over the plate. They will not hit
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it as often and as hard as you think they will.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: And to me, that's what he's done. He had a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: few shaky you know, he walked a few guys in
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a few of his starts. But you gotta attack the zone,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: no matter if it's the Dodgers or if it's the Marlins.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: More trivia. Last picture before Mays to record twelve k's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: against the Dodgers, Corbyn Birds. I'll give you a hint.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: He's currently on the Dodgers. Blake snow sho hey Otani, Right,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: that's cool.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Did you see what Clayton Kershaw said about.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Man before before or after the game or.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Were there were there different quotes?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He didn't know who he was. He was like, was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he a guy that like tripped and rolled his ankle
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Like that's that's how Clayton Kershaw knew him, but Clayton
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Kershaw doesn't need to know. People are throwing shade at
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Clayton for that. After the game. What he said was
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: cool though. That's a that's a big, big respect.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Why does Clayton have to know who he is? He's
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: been in the league forever, is what does he need
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: to know about the opposing picture.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: He's not pitching against him, He's not pitching against him,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: he's not facing him. He doesn't care all he's worried
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: about the Brewers' hitters, and that was what he listen.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Kershaw had a nice outing too. Let's not forget I
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: mean he he had a nice outing. You know everyone
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: that said Clershaw is done. Kirshaw is having a nice
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: start to this year and he's doing all right. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: let's not let's not Barry Clayton yet either.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: He's always with you, always, So just look at his
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Baseball reference. There's no blips on the radar. It's unbelievable.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: People are like, ah, playoff, save it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Where are we are on the Brewers right now? Being
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that miss is pitching like a one and Freddy Parolt
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: is having a great season, He'll be at the All
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Star Game.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know if they have enough offense to catch
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the Cubs, but they got a shot out to make
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. For sure, They're definitely gonna probably be in
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: the playoffs, but I don't know if they're gonna catch
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: the Cubs, just because I don't think their offense is
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: good enough.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Honestly.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Now they're gonna have to make some moves and maybe
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: find a bat or two. And if they do that,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: we'll see. But right now, I don't think their offense.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Their pitching has always been a strength, and Murph and
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: those guys figure it out. Matt Arnold and miss if
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: he keeps doing this and Freddy p are gonna be
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: a tough out because if you go into a three
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: game series of Wildcard series and you get Paralta miz
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: and then whoever the heck they wood he Big Woo's
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: back and he's pitching good Woodrow, that's a pretty tough
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: threesome to deal with a short in a short series.

• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is what we've said about the Brewers
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the whole time. This is the year, because we'll say
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: it every year. Beginning of the year, people are like,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I don't no, Brewers probably aren't gonna be able to
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: do it. Well, here we are again two and a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: half games out behind behind the Cubs. They're they're up
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in the wild card right now. Don't Matt Arnold, don't
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: let this be another off or another trade deadline where
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: you don't go and get offense. Don't let it be.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be detrimental to the end of
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not gonna be the end of the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Brewers run in the playoffs. They have the pitching again.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: They're pitching the guy. The dudes are pitching so well,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Kingtana's pitching. Well, you know, the miz is gonna you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of nerves pitching in the playoffs. But
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you can't have another three and out, another two in out.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: You can't. You gotta make a deep run in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: playoffs when you have this type of pitching and with
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Reese Hoskins going down to me, you gotta make that move.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Is Josh Naylor Is he gonna be a Brewer? Is
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that Is that enough? Because if it's not enough, you
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: gotta make two moves.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: That's my thing. Aj Can this team pitch its way
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to a deep position in October? Can they surprise some people,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: upset them some people. If that's the case, let's go
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: for two bats.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you got you gotta. You gotta score. That's the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: biggest thing. Yelich, Yelich and Cheerio and those guys.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: They just don't score enough. Jilly Ortiz. Murf Urth kind
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: of went off on Jilli Ortiz the other day. But
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I always having a million chances and hasn't taken advantage
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: of it. I mean, yeah, you gotta find some offense somewhere,
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: whether that's I mean, Andrew Vaughan, you're not counting on
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Hoskins coming back. I mean, you just need to find
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: some offense. Three runs against some of the better teams
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: isn't going to get it done most of the time,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: especially in the postseason. So you've got to find some offense.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know where or who they could trade, but
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: they got to do it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, there are going to be plenty of upgradeable
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: bat opportunities for them if they're that route.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh great, but who or do they go third base?
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Who do they go? Get a third base?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Ry? I like man or what about the two for one? Gosh,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Naylor and Gino Suarez great Brewers.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: But who are the Brewers going to have to give up?
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: See that's the problem. The Brewers don't always want to
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: give up. The Brewers usually the guys trading the prospects
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: away or sorry, trading the guy away and getting the
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: prospects back. They're not the team normally that's saying, oh,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: we want to make a huge splash, so in order
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: to get it, to get Suarez a nailer, they're going
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: to have to give up some prospects, and the Brewers
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: don't normally do that. This would be something interesting to
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: see how it goes.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: They need to do that, and both of those players
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: are free agents after this season, so it could be
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: much worse. Aja, the asking price will be decent, but
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: it's not going to be an asking price like you're
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: getting Awan Soto or I mean even going a little
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: lower than that's somebody that has multiple years of team control.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: These are two rentals.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed, but still they got to give up somebody,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: and the Brewers don't normally do that. They go, they
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: try to they try to buy low and hope for
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the big win. Right I Frankie Montas whoever, whoever else
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: you want to talk about by we don't sorry about
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: a steamer in the background. Uh, but yeah, they you know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: they try to get the high upside rental guys that
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: can come in for two or three months.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: They can fix and get them right.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna step aside. Did you have something
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: you want to ask us? You want to do it
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: next segment, I'll do it next segment.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: It's from the Bruce Meyer conversation. I have a question.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I'll ask you you think if it's if it's feasible
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: or not. And see what you guys say.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: No problem. We're back and we're gonna go over some
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: breaking news coming up in a few minutes. So there
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: are some games we won't have time to get to.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I'll give you guys three options here. Stuff that I
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: was watching yesterday on Hell Martinez Grand Slam Top ten
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: off of Josh Hater for the Guardians who are on
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: life support. The Padres took away not one but two
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: home runs thanks to Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis Junior
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: in a one nothing win over Arizona. He Surris their
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: big power boy with his fifth home run of the year,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and aj your White Sox gave the Blue Jays their
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: tenth win of the season in a row.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Well the biggest one untd of that is that. Well,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: first of all, Hater gave up a grand Slam of
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: extra innings. But the other thing is is that the
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Padres you mentioned on life support, the Guardians, the Padres
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: need to turn it around. So any win they can
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: grab right now is huge. So the White Sox are
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: the White Sox. The Blue Jays might never lose again
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: the way they're playing because they just get clutch it
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: after clutch it. So but yeah, the Padres, they got
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: to win. They got to find a way to win
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: because right now, I mean, if they score one run,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: it's a rally. So they've got to figure this out
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: quickly because the rest of the division is starting to
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: kind of get a little bit away from them.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Some will say, some will say the White Sox are
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: playing like a high school team. They only played seven
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: innings last night, so maybe it's coming true.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: That's true. They called the game after seven, six to one.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: It was it was months sooning.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: By the way, I can't and by the way, speaking
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: of rain, rain killed my lock yesterday because Logan Gilbert
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: was shoving and then all of a sudden, raindo and
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: then he couldn't throw a strike after like sitting for
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: forty minutes a wait to go Yankee Stadium.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: FT breaking news. I am super excited for this. MLB
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: will use the ABS challenge system in the All Star Game.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: That means you tap your hat or your helmet and
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: we can do a little challenge. Each team gets two
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: of them and you can keep those challenges if you
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: are successful. Ak A, you are correct and the umpire
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: is wrong. A hitter can do this, a catcher can
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: do this, a pitcher can do this, and that is it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: My excitement level is ten. As you can see, Eric
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Kratz is already practicing his motion for Atlanta will be there. Krats,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: your thoughts.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Have to have it. I love it. It is a showcase game,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: showcase what's coming next young players, something that Major League
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Baseball is going to institute next year in the ABS,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know, like put some targets in the outfield
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: so people can hit them and like things explode. Like
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it's a showcase game. Take it seriously. We're still the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: only We're still the only All Star are still the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: only major sport that takes the game seriously. It's okay
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: to add some other like cool stuff because these players
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: actually want to win and play defense. And pitch and hit,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: So we have that going.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: I hope happens first two pitches of the game pitcher
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: throws them and goes like this, and then they lose
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: both of them. Then we get out. That'd be awesome.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: They'd be like, oh no, this doesn't work, so good
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: does it?
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Boom boom?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: First two pitches, someone does it and then it's over with.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: But I mean, are they gonna pick who us a
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: judge Raleigh on the other side, who's gonna get the
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: choice show?
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Hey? I mean, Freddy, everybody gets use these.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you only have two of them, if
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: you only have two of them and no one gets
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: them wrong early, and it's all over and everyone's whining.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: So it's gonna be an interesting test system. We'll see
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: how it goes.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Hey, Ja, I know someone who's not allowed to do it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Who's that?
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Andrew Abbott was just selected to the All Star Game,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: but his manager Terry Francona in spring training told his team, no,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: we are not practicing the challenge system, so he'll probably
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: tell Andrew before he heads to Atlanta, do not tip
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: your head. We do not want you to do anything
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: that would be different from today's game. Not tomorrow's game,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: today's game. You think I'm kidding It was actually a
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: true story. Back in spring training. I did not want to.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I think I think they were only they only had
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: it on the road.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I don't think they had in good years. So Terry
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: didn't want him to get used to used to it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: So he's like, why are we going to practice as
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: if we're not using it? It's smart, but.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I thought it was ridiculous. You guys are you guys
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: are so dialed that you can't do a little tap
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: during spring training?
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Not as not even there half the time? Not I
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: disagree with Tito on that one.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Anyway. What do we think about this for the fans?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: First off, Major League Baseball released that seventy two percent
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: of fans that they pulled during spring training said the
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: impact of ABS on their experience at the game was
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: a positive one sixty nine percent giggity said they'd like
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: it part of the game moving forward, and ten percent
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: expressed negativity towards it. I mean, that is a resounding
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: success and a jay This just furthers the narrative that
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: we are going to have this next year. It's not
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: going to be the full robo I'm calling every ball
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: and strike, but we are going to have the challenge system.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: And I cannot emphasize enough how this is a no
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: brainer addition to the game for fan engagement.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Agreed.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: The one thing I saw it live and in person,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: and it was awesome. The fans were into it. Were
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: the thing comes on the scoreboard and everyone's like, oh, strike,
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: ball boo, yeah, right, wrong, whatever it was, it was
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: pretty awesome and it happened pretty quick. The only thing
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: I worry about is the accuracy of it, because players
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: have said the accuracy isn't that great. So we'll see
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: if the accuracy is right. Because they always claim, oh, well,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: tennis they have the lion things. Well, the line things
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: aren't always right in tennis. Tennis plays over my shoulder here.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: But yeah, they always say, oh the cyclops thing whatever
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: it's called, isn't always perfect. So as long as the
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: technology is correct. And I'm all for being able to
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: tap your homet you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Know who else is imperfect? Crafts, human beings.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you got.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Nothing to argue, Scott. You need arguments, aren't we in
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: the entertainment bism business. Luke Panella coming out kicking dirt
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: all over the plate and throwing his hat in Lloyd
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: McClenny grabbing first base and taking it home with him
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: like a little child, right, Like that's entertaining to people,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Like arguments are entertaining.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know what else is entertaining? If there's
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: an ump that misses twenty calls in the game, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: it happens somewhat frequently, right, I mean I follow Empire auditor,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I mean fifteen, eighteen, twenty often the case. It'll be
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: interesting to see how many of those misses are challenged
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: because you have to do it instantaneously. This isn't a
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: let's look back quality control coach in the dugout tunnel.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: What does he say, relay it back? It's nope, I
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: see this. You're off boom tap, And you know players
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: are going to get pissed. Umpires might have some egos hurt,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the ones who like to kick people out of games,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: or have their own strike zone and not the regulation
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: strike zone. I think you're going to have plenty of
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: dissension aj over something like this. Don't you think there'll
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: still be plenty of ejections, people getting kicked out and
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: really just a battle of what the zone actually is.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be a uniform zone, not a
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: zone created by an umpire who's got a partial view
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: on a certain pitch.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: They're so they're so negative, Scott. Umpires don't do that.
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: Umpires don't have personal vendettas against guys on their mean
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: to them. That doesn't happen, Scott. So let's let's let's
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: get back to the news. Please, let's not let's not spread.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Who's going to be the first player, who's gonna be
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the first player to give this one shocked another one? Like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: let's let's check in it like the whole like sarcastic,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I know you got it wrong, like shocker, you're the
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: one that got another one wrong. Dudes will be thrown
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: out for that, if that's what you're If that's what
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you're looking for.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Are pictures allowed to do this at all?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Aj if they're not very good at it because they
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: don't see the ball.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: They only see where the catcher catches it, because most
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: of them go like this with their head, so they
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: lose sight of the ball when it crosses the plate.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: They only see it after the catcher catches it. And
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: we saw Max Schurzer do this early in spring just
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: to make a mockery of it and it worked.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: There we go, well, not.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Even close, but Max did it anyways, just to show that,
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: you know, we'll see, We'll see.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: AJ We're in Vegas right now and I have not
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: had a lot of time to eat during the day.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: No, what could we do?
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I could? I would love a HUEL right now.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: Vanilahuele would go down perfectly because I'll have to skip
• 19:57

  Speaker 2: use their heart and not their brain.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Mm hm, they won't.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: They won't.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: They won't.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be told to They're gonna be told to stop.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: They're not going to ruin it. They're just gonna be
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: told to stop. I mean pictures. Pitchers get fooled by
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: catchers mits. You know, catchers moving the ball more than anybody.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: True, right, Because again, so the fram.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the framing aj by the catchers should notify most
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: coaching staffs that they need to tell pitchers, you're not
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: the one. It's the catcher, and obviously.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: It's the hitter. M should be a catcher in the hitter.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Also, these are two challenges in general, So if whether
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you're on offense or defense, you have to be smart
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: about this. I'm sure there's all kinds of studying going
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: on already behind the scenes by teams to get themselves
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: prepared for this. During spring training, pitchers were less successful
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: than catchers. That's not a surprise. Catchers had a success
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: rate of fifty six percent, so more than every other
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: call went their way. Pitcher's success rate was forty one percent,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: so umpires had the edge there. Umpires are probably like, yeah,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: go for a pitcher, I got you beat.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: True, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see, we'll see if
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: anybody even does in the ulstreaum.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Somebody will do it just to say they did it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: But that's it.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: The success rate is going to be right around fifty
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: percent because you're not they're not missing. Umpires rarely miss
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: big ones, rarely miss those big ones. It's the fifty
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: to fifty ball. That's where all the framing metrics come from.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Do you get the umpire to call a fifty to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: fifty ball a strike? And I think the players are
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: going to get better and better as as the system's used.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: See I agree with that. I think that early on
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: you're going to have safer challenges and they're going to
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: be looking for the blatant misses. You're talking about fifty
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: to fifty balls, krats. If you're wrong on your fifty
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: to fifty ball, it might be the eighth or ninth inning.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: And there is a brutal call like, Oh, let's let's
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: use a very recent example. Did we not have three
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: consecutive misses two nights ago with Oryan kirkering against the
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: San Francisco Giants. Yep, so cuzy, So it'll be a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: boom boom boom.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: We need to save this. It would have been boom
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: strike three.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: True, it's gonna change at bats. It's not going to
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: just be like they're not just going to rack them
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: up act back to.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Back, right, But my point is you need to be
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: smart early on in a game. You can't look at
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty call that's on the borderline and
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: tap your head because if you're wrong, you might need
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that later for a blatant miss by an umpire. Right AJ,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: aren't you telling people to be careful early on in
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: a game?
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. And you better be real sure who
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: let challenge. Better be real sure who you let challenge.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: That's it's gonna come down to. There's gonna be some
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: interesting decisions on who's allowed to challenge and who's not.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Smart call by MLB to do this right now, Like
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: you guys said, it is an exhibition game and this
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: is an opportunity to highlight something in a sport. Obviously
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: we're highlighting the players. But a J I think this
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: is a cool little wrinkle. You know, it's it's an
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: exhibition game. The winner doesn't get home field advantage in
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the World Series anymore.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Why not try it out?
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know what else they should do, Scott,
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: They have a soft offense up in the truest park.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: They should try that.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: See you guys, you guys with your with your other
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: ideas are a little well.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: I mean everyone, you know, once it once a game
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: or twice a game, you can get the soft offense
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: brought out and if the guy hits a homer of
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: the soft offense, it's a home run.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Let's try that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I want to make sure that. I want to make
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: sure I clarify. So AJ wants a softball fence and
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Kratz wants dynamite markers that you hit. Do you guys
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: actually want that at the All Star Game? Do you
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: do you really want that in the All Star Game?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: And selfware Game's right? I mean I'm looking at the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: soft offense right out my window right now. I mean
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: it's like two hundred feet.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Think about take a the fun if you if the
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: National League was like, we have Shohey and whoever else
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: coming up, but we're gonna we're gonna tap our helmet.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: We want the softball fence, and they roll out a
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: two hundred foot fence and then if he hits it
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: over it, Let's say they're down five, it counts as
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: five runs or something.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't you be excited?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I think that's a little much.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, extreme, that's probably extreme, But I like I like
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the I like the way you're going. I did all.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I really want the only thing I want. If you're
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: not gonna have explosions and fire and stuff, I want
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the challenge. I want the challenge like fastest run or
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: hardest throw or farthest throw, all that stuff. I want
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: all of it. Put the ball on the t see
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: if you can hit the farthest. Like we already have
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the Home Run Derby, and that's what everybody's excited about.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: They're willing to put a million dollars into that. Let's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: have the Major League Baseball Challenge games like where they're
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: doing that stuff around the Home Run Derby too.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Never happen. Now, that'll never happen.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, it won't. But I want to
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: see it. I don't want to see it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, we think about You got to make a decision.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Do I pitch the show here? Do we intentionally WelCom
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: right because he might hit a five run homer? I
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: don't know, thoughts.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's for a homer that's a certain distance. If
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: you hit a four to fifty plus.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Make it fun. Let's think like young people. If you
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: can hit a ground ball into a bucket, you get
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: an extra run. I don't know. Something cool. Let's change
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: it up. You want to get crazy, Let's get crazy?
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: Scott Okay, Well, we'll ask Carlos Mendoza, Mets manager, about
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: this little news, and also remind everyone that we will
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: be in Atlanta to witness this the fourteenth and the fifteenth,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: which is the big days Monday and Tuesday, Derby Day
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and All Star Day one to three Eastern foul Territory,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Atlanta takeover live from the Truest Community Corner. We got
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: a bunch of replies yesterday when we put this out there,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: many of them from Braves fans asking if AJ and
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Kratz couldn't come out of retirement and help the Braves
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: current lineup. The answer I gave of them was maybe anyway,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: we'll see y'all one to three Eastern Monday and Tuesday Live.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: It's open to the public, so you can stop by,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: hang out. There's gonna be some VIPs stopping by in
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: addition to the ft Fam, some pretty big guests, so
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: we're excited about it. Hey, we had a walk off
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: inside the park home run from a catcher. Aj Patrick
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Bailey gets a fortuitous little bounce off the top of
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: the wall. They're down three to one, bottom nine, one out.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I was watching this one live, three run homer walk
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: off for three win for San Francisco.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: You see some crazy, crazy bounces off of that wall
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: in right center. I don't think Romano had this on
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: his bingo card when he threw that pitch. Okay, maybe
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: a double, maybe a tie game, but the bounce it
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: took was insane.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And I get Brandon Marsh's credit.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: Although people can say he wasn't in the right place,
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: he actually was in the right place. He just didn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: expect it to bounce that hard and that far to
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: the who's left. He was backing up. He was in
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: the right spot, So just a wild, wacky bounce. We
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: saw this in the All Star Game when Ichiro hit
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: it inside the park, home hit one of those weird
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: crevices and bounces somewhere where it's not supposed to go.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know physics, but maybe not in San Francisco.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Triples are the most exciting play in baseball, just because
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: you're like, is he gonna make it? Is he not
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: inside the parker for a walk off? Just he clips that?
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: For me, I mean to see the fans bouncing around
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and like they were in that entire run around the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: bases with Patrick Bailey, and like how he didn't pass
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: out after running that far, Like you know, he wasn't
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: breathing the entire halfway halfway from second to home like
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: crazy bounce tough. Oryan Kirkering probably should have been in
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: the game, but I guess they put Jordan Romano in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: because they need to figure something out with that bullpen.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: But hey, unbelievable inside the park walkoff epic.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Former Cy Young winner Dallas Kichel and the Royals agreed
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: to a minor league deal this According to Jeff pass In,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: he's thirty seven years old. Kykele not passing and Kaiko
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: held a workout last week. He got himself up to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: ninety two miles an hour. He's going to start in
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Triple A. If he gets to the big leagues, he
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: would make a pro rated version of two million dollars.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: So we're a little past halfway point, so I guess
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: a million or less for Dallas Kaykeel.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize before, what haven't we seen this skit before? Though?
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Hasn't he been doing this like the last three years?
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Or he goes and he doesn't start with the team,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: and then he goes and throws a bullpen, and so
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: team signs that he comes up for like one or
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: two starts, and then he's gone, and then he does
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: it again the next year.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: That's my point. My point was going to be that
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: it feels like it's been years since he pitched in
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: the big leagues, but it's been years since he pitched
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: consistently in the big leagues. He's actually made appearances every
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: year since his rookie season in twenty twelve. So aj
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I mean he's suddenly going to be thirteen maybe another year, two, fourteen,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: fifteen year career where where really it was during about
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: a nine or ten year stretch. Right last year he
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: made four starts.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, part we have a saying you have this many
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: years parts right, so he has parts of them many years.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: But I mean, yeah, cool.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: If the teams keep signs like Richill, teams keep signing them,
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: they keep calling them the big leagues, why would you
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: stop playing?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: But I don't know.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: At some point you got to say enough is enough?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Is it really worth going through all this to get
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: four starts in the big leagues? I guess there some
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: people it is who signed rich.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Hill earlier this year the Royals. The Royals and he
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: hit ninety two. That's my favorite part. Kaiko went to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: like the drive line before and they were like, oh,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: he got his velocity up and then it comes out
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: in the games in just regular Dallas Kaile, which is
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: all he needs to be. What's up? We're back? All right?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: So do you want to see the little trade that
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: was made between Bryce and Stott and a fan who
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: probably just put a baseball in the mccubby cove took
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: it out and said, oh, look what I've found. So
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: apparently Schwerber hit one into the cove and now he
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: joined Stott, Harper and Kody Ashy is the only Phillies
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: to do it in twenty five years. According to back
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Gelp covers, the team for the Athletic Scott said he
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: recently secured the ball from his splash hit in twenty
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: twenty three. A man in a kayak had been hanging
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: on to it. And while Scott Stott was skeptical that
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the dude that just plays the baseball in the water,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: he traded two signed baseballs for us, it for it
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: and he will cherish it forever. I mean, there's no
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: way to really authenticate that. I don't think if the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: baseball enters the water. So you got to just have
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: trust and say it's real.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: As long as he believes it's real, who cares if
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, my I don't even know if I actually
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: have my real first home run ball because it went
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: into the bushes in Citizens Bank Park, and so did
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: like twenty five other baseballs during batting practice every day.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: So they crawled in the bushes and they were like,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: sure this is the one authenticated. There you go, and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: don't don't even get twisted. He put that ball in
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a sink in his in his hotel room or in
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: his It wasn't even don't need to put it in
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: McCovey cove. It's not like Stott's testing it for McCovey
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: cove water.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Why does it matter. I mean, as long as he
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: thinks it is. As long as Bryson Stott thinks it is,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: then who cares. It's a memory as Yeah, who cares?
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, he can hang it on his wall and
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: that's it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Who cares?
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: What if I think I have it?
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Aj then you want it for money. It's the only
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: reason you want it.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: You think a lot of things that they're not right.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: No, I'm just believing in conspiracy theories and fairy tales.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: And if I have a baseball and I can say, oh, well,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: actually I got it from a guy who went underwater
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and found it.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Scott stopped. You're stop stop Scott.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Balls float, they don't go they don't go down.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Stop. That just proves that you don't have it, Scott.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: I actually do have something that is related to our
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: next topic, the bibble behind me here, show me for
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: a sec. The next topic is all about that guy me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: So when we're back in twenty seconds, we're going to
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: talk about how this day just got way better for
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: him and I think for everyone. Yeah, that's what he said,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: That's what he said, that's what he said.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Junior Cameranaro said, I'm in for the home Run Derby
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: and he was just named as a replacement for the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: All Star roster, so he will be out there in
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a big way in Atlanta. First off, he takes over
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: for Alex Spragman. Bregman was voted in by the players
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: even though he hasn't played in a long time. Junior
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Kamenara deserves to be in Kratz. He's got I believe,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: the most home runs among the third basemen. He just
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: turned twenty two years old, by the way, and this
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: season he's two fifty two, two ninety four, four ninety
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: six with the slugging percentage, and yes, he leads all
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: major league third basemen with twenty one home runs. Perfect
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: candidate for the home Run Derby. So we get to
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: see a guy who is one of the best in
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: baseball in exit vlow max, exit V low, batspeed, the
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: whole deal. These are the guys that you want in there.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Young can put on a show. Does it in BP.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Flash. He even came on here and said he would
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: love to do it a few weeks ago. To me,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: this is what you need, but you also need to
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: have guys who, like aj said yesterday, can hit the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: ball out of the ballpark in all directions Atlanta. The
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: ball flies, and I know the wall on right field
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: is a little bit high, but Junior can hit the
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: ball out there, he can pull it, he can go
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to center field, and you need to be able to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: do that as you get tired, you know you're not
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: all all the balls are just going to go directly
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: down the line. To me, I think possibly people don't
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: really know about Junior Cameron Arrow. I don't think they
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: know what kind of of juice he has without without
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: you saying that, Scott, I don't think people know where
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: he's at exit velocity. You look up his Baseball Savant page,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of red. This dude hits the ball hard,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: and people are gonna be like, well, you know, there's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: twenty one home runs. Twenty one home runs at the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: All Star Break is ridiculous for any player that's really
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: just getting his feet wet in the big leagues this
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: year for the first time.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Well, here's one thing I'll say about this. We're on
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: a lot today because the race game got pushed back,
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: so we're all over the Tampa Bay TV right now.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: So people in Tampa, in the Tampa Bay area, they
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: know Junior Cameranio. Most people don't. But I am so
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: happy for him because one, he deserved to be in
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: the All Star Game, even without Bregman getting hurt. But two,
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: he wants to do the home run Derby, So why
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: what even took so long for him to be considered
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: for this. He came on Foul Territory and said, I
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: want to do the home run Derby and I'm gonna
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: put on a show that should be like automatic rub
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Manfred calling him up and MLB saying, oh man, we
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: got a guy that wants to do this. Check Junior,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: you're in. I mean, O'Neil Cruz is in. He's on
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: an All Star But Junior Cavanaro had to wait. I
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: disagree with that. So good for him. Good that he's
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: on this team. He deserves it. He's a great player.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: He's going to be a star. And even if even
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: in Tampa Bay, but people in Tampa Bay know about
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Junior Camanaro.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I got a question. I mean what aj just said.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: We got to wait for Rob Manford, we got wait
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: for the league. The All Star Game is about what
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: the players or the league. Why can't why can't the
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: players make these decisions? Why can't the players Association be like,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: you know what we want to We want the best
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: product out there, because this showcase is junior Cameranaro, who
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: is in Tampa. And that's nothing against Tampa. It's not
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: a big media market. And I don't think people know
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the extent of his power prowess. And to me, like,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: why do we need to ask? Why couldn't the players
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: get together and be like, whoa, there's no way we
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: can have a home run derby without the best, the
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: most powerful dudes and the only way. And the other
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: thing I think they haven't they didn't ask him because
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I think they're just now going through the guys who
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: weren't voted into the All Star Game is how I
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: feel like it went down.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: I'm down for that if we take away the player
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: vote for the All Star Game and just give it
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: to the fans or to someone else, because they're losing
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: me on that.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: True, like like I don't see how. I don't see how,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and I always forget his first his first name, but McClung,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: who wins the who wins the dumb contest? The last
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: few years. Matt McClung, Mac mac Okay, there you go.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: So that shows you how much I know. There's no way.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: There's no way that the commissioner of the NBA is
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: like scouring the d League going, Hey, any of you
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: guys want to do it? Like there's there's definitely a
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: collaboration there that I feel like could happen. It doesn't
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: have to just be a league, like, hey, the league
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: is inviting you to do the home run derby. Have
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: a sign up, have a sign up, have like a
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, have a have a get in tournament,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: you know, a playback tournament where other dudes are doing
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: home run derby stuff to be able to get into
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the home run derby. I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: putting a home run derby up on too much of
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: a pedestal.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I think you're just over complicating things, you know. I
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: feel like they do a pretty good job.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you do a pretty good job. By
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: the end, you have to understand how many people say
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: no to this?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: So yes, a lot of nosy, a lot.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: They've asked a lot already you're saying yeah, yeah, I
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: mean they want to make sure even though he's pretty
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: much a lock.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: You always want to make the phone call. Hey, judge,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: not in cool, got it? Obviously, you got to make
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: the phone call to see if Pete's in for the derby.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: He's won two of them. He declined this year, and
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: you go down the line to some of the big
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: boys and make sure that you're not missing out on anyone.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: But I do agree, I want to go back to
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: where we started here. Regardless, I think that Junior Camonaro,
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: as the most home runs among third basemen and the
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: stat cast metrics that he brings to the table, deserve
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: to be in the Home Run Derby. He made it
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: to the All Star Game, which is great. He deserves
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: that too, But I think even if he didn't, the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: league should have put this invite out there at least
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: a week ago. And here's what he said on our
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: show about a month ago.
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: All Star Game Home Run Derby.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: You get to the All Star Game, which would be
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: awesome for you, would you do.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: The Home Run Derby?
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: No?
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: If I get selected and they give me the opportunity, yes,
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna win,
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: but I'm gonna put a great show for the fans
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: and it's gonna be entertained.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: There you go, and he got in there. And remember
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: later in the conversation he was like, please call me.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I want to be in. So now he's in, so
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: we're excited. We'll see him out there. There are two
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: spots left. I butchered it yesterday at one point because
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: I was essentially hungover, not sleeping, with twelve hours of
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: flight delays and a couple of fans. Let me know
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: that I missed out on not knowing what the whole
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Derby field was looking like at the moment you got me.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Thanks for watching. Anyway, let's get to Wan Sodo's comments.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: So AJ asked Carlos Mendoza live about a half hour
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: ago about Sodo's incentives. He gets one hundred thousand dollars
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: if he makes the All Star team, and so it
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: was like, yeah, that's a lot of money. He was
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: asked if he would have liked to make it. He's like,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: what do you think. I think it's a lot of
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: money on the table if I make it. At the
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: same time, AJ, one hundred thousand dollars for a guy
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: who is going to make close to eight hundred million dollars. Actually,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: in his total career, he's going to make close to
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars. That's chump change.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Great, this is this is not a lot. That's why
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: I was joking with Mendy that he should write him
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: a check.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: So you know, because most people is going, you man,
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: you're making seven hundred and sixty million and you're talking
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: about one hundred grand. So listen, it's still one hundred
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars. But yeah, I mean, I think it was
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: more about the fact that he didn't make the All
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Star team. The players didn't vote him in the the money.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Let's be serious here, m hm.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Would you go? Aj? Would you go if you were
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: him and he wasn't selected in? But now he gets
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: selected in like as like a spiteful thing. Would you
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: spitefully say no, I don't want to go, you don't
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: want to vote?
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Why would I not? Why would you not go? We
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: still still get to go. What's the point? What you
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: can't just not go? Did he just look like then
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: you just look like a I don't know.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: He just looks like There's a lot of players that
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: do that. Guys, over the last five years, there are
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of no's that are fake nos, and in
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: my mind, something has to be written in where you
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: must attend, even if you're hurt or whatever it is,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: you must go. This is for the fans. Fans mostly
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: voted you in, right, you should be going. We don't
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: have to go through that list, but it is a
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: very long list of guys who essentially don't give a crap,
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: and I think that there needs to be repercussions for that.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's okay, you're saying no and you're not going
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: to show up unless you have a very legit excuse,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: like you know, wife's having a baby, super family, a
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: medical emergency, something crazy, which obviously we're human beings, we
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: understand that. If it's just eh, don't care about it.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I want to take some time off. I think there
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: should be some type of penalty, including maybe that you
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: can't be voted in again after that. Right, if you
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: don't care enough, then you don't want to be part
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: of the All Star festivities. Oh well, but I don't know.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think we're ever going to get there. Just
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: wanted to throw it out there while we have one
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: more minute. This was put out there by front off
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: of Sports, so though they probably got it from somewhere else.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Only three of the ten highest paid players in Major
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: League Baseball are named All Stars this year, so this
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: game features many many people. Did they give a number?
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many under twenty six years old,
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: but heavy, heavy, young crew on the All Star roster
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: this year. Money cannot buy you happiness confirmed, just like
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: we heard yesterday. AJ Mets usually towards.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Included in that though is show hey included in.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: That great question? Numbers is cooked? These numbers might be
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: cooked a little bit like is that including everything Max
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: is making? Like Max is making more than everybody because
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: he's getting fifteen from the Nets, fifteen from the Mets
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: fifth like, oh.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: No, hey, let's do a little player spotlight thanks to
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Arena Club. AJ give me a player this season that
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: you think is underrated and you might want to try
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: and grab his card.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: James would.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington National's superstar
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: in the making, and the first slab pack I ever
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: opened had him in it, his rookie card, and the
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: value is only going to go up and up and up.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: And I'm not gonna sell it Kwi yet, Scott. I'm
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: gonna hold on to because after if he continues to
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: hit big homers and put up the stats make All
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Star teams, it's gonna get more expensive for someone to
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: buy for me.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: This is his first full season in the majors. Keep
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: that in mind. I think he's underrated.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: He's on a.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Nationals team that's may getting enough attention.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: He might underrated when he makes the All Star team
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: this year, They're not going to be underrated.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: That helps. He's been intentionally walked four times in a game. Anyway,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: if you want to try and find a wood rookie card,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: go check out slap packs on Arena Club and right
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: now you can get twenty percent off your first slab pack.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Or if you just want to go with a card purchase,
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: go to Arena club dot com. Slash foul, use code foul.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: If you buy, sell, trade, collect, go.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: For it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: Hopcorner fired by next Playground. You got to get the
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: console and check it out. We'll talk more about it
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: coming up. They've got a new home run Derby game,
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: but let's start with Jazz Chisholm. Moving back to second base,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Aaron Boone said, it's done. You played third for a
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: while since he was by from the IL he was
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: training all off season for second base, which is a
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: more natural position for him. Played a lot of third
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: last year. It was okay, the athleticism was shown, but
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: the inexperience was also there, and again this year. He's
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: a negative defender by metrics. So he's very vocal. He
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: likes to talk aj and he did say that he
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: was expecting to be a second baseman this year. So
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: now they place him back over there, and I will
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: say this, chances are high the Yankees get somebody at
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: third base to make this official and permanent for the
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: rest of the year.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: I think the bigger news in this is, yes, Jazz
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: is back at second he's happy. He can say he's
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: happy at second base. But DJ Lemayhew what Aaron Boone
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: said about DJ Lmayhew. He basically said, Nope, he ain't
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: gonna play third base for sure, and we don't know
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: where else. So that to me is almost a bigger
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: story than Jazz chism moving back to second base. Yeah,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I know he wants to play second. He's
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: been a second baseman. Remember the Marlins moved him to
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: center field for a time, the Yankees to third base.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: He said all the right things now he's back at second.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: Let's see if he can hold down the four, but
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: third base as a hole. Now for the Yankees, we'll
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: see who they go out and get.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Does he play third in the All Star Game? I mean,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: that's what I made you feel like, that's okay, just
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: one game. Even though he's super focused on just being
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: a second basement.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like he'll live. That's okay, he said. You know,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: I'll give you one or two of the quotes. Everybody
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: knows I'm a second basement. Of course I want to
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: play second base. But whatever it takes to help the
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: team win, if that's what the team chooses, that's what
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: I got to do. I don't write the lineups.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: You feel me.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: I'm playing every day, so it's hard to be upset. Yes,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: I know I'm a second baseman. I know him better
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: at second base, but at the end of the day,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: still have to play third. I just have to deal
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: with it. You know this was in the past what
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: week or so leading up to the change here? Do
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: you think that he privately started to express that he
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: didn't want to play third base anymore? Aj? I mean
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: he is by metrics, by eye test, by everything else.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: A second basement over a third baseman. I think that's obvious.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Plus yeah, I mean, he hasn't spent a lot of
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: time at third base. He has been pretty good for
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: the most part, saying he'll do whatever it takes. But
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: I could see him behind the scenes being like, hey, dude,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: I'm better there, so that helps the team. Plus for
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: him Selfishly, he gets looked at with defensive metrics, with
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: wins above replacement and those kind of proprietary metrics that
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: teams hold to try and sum up a player's value,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: and he gets hurt when he's playing a position that
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: he's not as good at.
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think, yeah, I think, yeah, sure, all
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: the things you just said, Scott. Yes, if he's come
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: more comfortable at second base, and stick him at second
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: base and hope that he goes out and does the
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: best he can. But again, just brings back the hole.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: It's the third base for the Yankees. Who do they get.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: Arnatto, Suarez?
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: I mean there's a list McMahon, There's a whole list
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: of guys that they could go out and try and get.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: So that's what's interesting here is who fills this hole
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: when they go out and make a move and.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Him coming out and saying this, do you think they
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to kind of keep this under wraps a little bit?
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Because isn't aren't trades anything at the reps, he can't
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: keep anything. But I'm saying, like, if you're Brian Cashman,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: trades and acquisitions and the trade deadline is all about negotiations.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: That's really one of the reasons it doesn't happen until
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline because everybody's like, oh, you want our
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: third baseman, we want all nine of your last first
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: round picks. No, okay, we have thirty seconds left to
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: do it. Okay, we'll give you your We'll take your tenth
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: best prospect. This really puts Cashman in the Yankees in
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: kind of a trade acquisition like negotiation corner because now
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: they're like, you don't even have a third baseman. Hi
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: were the Rockies. We know you love Ryan McMahon. We
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: want the world for him even though he's hitting two
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: twelve this year.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: How about key Brian Hayes.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: If you want defense and the Pirates ain't paying anything back,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: so the Pirates would have to buy back, they would
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: have to buy the other prospects because the Yankees is
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be taking on a lot of contract, and I
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: get it, it's defense, But one of the Yankees made
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, is is that the move bolster your offense
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: by bringing in Key Brian Hayes.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, that's not going to bolster the offense
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: unless you think he needs a change of scenery and
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: you can unlock something. He is an elite defender. But
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I'm just playing to your point of the Yanks not
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: having to give up much. I mean, you'd be giving
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: up money. They are no short supply of that. So
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: can't you make a case aj that the Pirates would
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: take practically nothing to dump the contract.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: You definitely could make that case. I don't know if
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: they'll do it, but you could definitely make that case
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: that the Pirates would like to maybe move on from that.
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know how would Pirates fans react to that.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: That's why always my question.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: They would probably not be very happy if they said
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: they were training Key Brian Hayes for a whole lot
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: of nothing.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: I know, I know he's not doing well, but his
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: contract is going the other way. Though a lot of
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: these contracts are back laden, this one is shorter in
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the back end. He's making less every year. Yeah, substantially
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: less every year. I think he made ten his first year.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: So cost certainty, cost certainty for the Pirates, I don't know.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know where that where that threshold is. Obviously
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: they would always love to get money back for anything.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Keep on hunting, right, I mean, if you look at
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: the numbers this year now, we're deep into the halfway point,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: what are we ninety ish games in sixty four ops
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: plus for Key Brian Hayes.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: Not very good. I don't know if that's that's not.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: A major league back for the last two years now
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: aj again, unless you think you can resurrect it. You know,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: he's all defense.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Is definitely for the Yankees. Maybe they're hoping that he
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: brings back some of that. You know, he did catch
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: you out last out in ninety six or ninety eight
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: World Series, one.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Of them, Charlie, Yeah, ninety six. I think sixty one
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: ohps plus the year before that for Key Brian. I
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: mean some Yankee fans might be watching right now screaming.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: I think Pirates fans would be okay at this point
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: because they have to play the budget game. They have
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: to go okay if we can clear some of that money,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: even though the contract is more backloaded, it's a win.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: He's not been a winning player for the team for
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: the past couple of seasons in terms of what he's
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: able to contribute. I mean, it's really below average contributions.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: If you add up what he's doing on offense.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: Well, they're not getting Brian Reynolds. We know that.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Well, let's go to that.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: So Brian Reynolds has a no trade list, and some
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: people don't understand how no trade lists work. It's a
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: short list for him. He is allowed to put six
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: teams on that list. And those six teams per sources
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: from Noah Hailes, who covers the team every day, Yankees, Mets,
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays, Dodgers, Giants, Padres. Why does this make total sense?
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: Eric and people should shut their trap.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Because they're all good teams. Some of these lists you
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: can make them. You can change them part way through
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: the season, halfway through you can change them. Usually can
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: change them at the beginning of the season. It's because
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: all they're they're all good teams. This gives him the
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: leverage to say, yeah, I'll go to New York. It's
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: not that Brian Reynolds doesn't want him play in the playoffs.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: He wants to play in the playoffs, but the leverage
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: for him to say I'll go to New York or
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: I'll go to the Dodgers comes Okay, Well, what else
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: can I get? Can I get an extra year? Can
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: I get my player option declined on the end of
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the contract? Can I get it picked up automatically? It
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: gives him so much. It gives him, so you don't
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: put You don't put crappy teams on there because you're
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: not blocking a trade to a crappy team because the
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: crappy team's never trading for Brian Reynolds.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the guys used to do this all the time.
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: Ten teams plus Brian Reynolds is from you know, he's
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: from the Nashal area. So if you notice he wants
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: to stay in the middle. He doesn't want to go
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: to the coast. Fine, he doesn't want to go Cleveland,
• 53:30
  Speaker 4: don't want to go to California, and he doesn't want
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: to go to New.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: York and Toronto. I get it.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: Guys have no trade clauses, and they picked teams for
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: all kinds of crazy reasons. Teammates would pick it because
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: they didn't like the city. They didn't like the hotel,
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: they didn't like the food, they didn't like this, they
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: didn't like that. I mean, guys have all kinds of crazy,
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: but if they're smart about it, they picked the teams
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: that could possibly trade for him, and then they get
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: something back.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Crawts is saying.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: They can get money, they can get this, they can
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: get that, and then it's all new negotiation when those
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: things come up. Look at Nolan R and he has
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: the no trade clause. Guess where he still is. He's
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: still in Saint Louis because he has the full note
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: trade and he's not waving it.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: To go to Wait.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: So I'll put this out there. I believe that Brian
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Reynolds would give a resounding yes to all six of
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: those teams on the no trade list if they covered
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: the tax dollar difference.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's it.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: Negotiation.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: That's it, because okay, I'm going to explain it nice
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: and simple, and this is the job of the agency. Brian.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: You play in Pennsylvania, Kratz, Do you not off the
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: top of your head or should I make up a
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: number for the state tax rate.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: Plus the city tax? They have the Pittsburgh city tax.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: So let's say it's eightish for his local tax number. Okay,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: eightish percent. Do we know what it is in New
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: York City? And in Los Angeles about double that. We're
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: close to it. If you're in that tax bracket, cool
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: fifteen yeah, okay, and then Toronto's same story. You get taxed, hardcore.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: We are not telling you this to be pufy bougie.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Here's how money works, and this is how guys get
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: around taxes. No, no, no, he signed a contract with
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: a team in Pennsylvania. They do the math on how
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: much income he will make post tax. If he gets
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: traded to one of those teams, which if he didn't
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: have a no trade clause could happen, he can lose
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: millions of dollars. This is just common sense business. Anyone
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: that's trying to maximize their value during a short playing
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: career would do the same thing. He can then go
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: to his organization Pittsburgh and say, okay, I will go
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: to that team. I'm happy to go to a team
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: that is a contender. You need to pick up the
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: tax numbers. I agree to a certain number here. So
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: let's say it's a few million bucks for the rest
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: of the contract. You need to pick that up for
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: me and then I will happily waive that. It is
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: that simple. He picked teams that tax you hardcore, right,
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: both New York teams LA. San Francisco's in California, so
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: is San die and Toronto's in Canada. Boom. He picked
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the high tax brackets. He's that's what pisses me off,
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: and I think you felt the same way, Kratz. He
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: is not trying to avoid going to a contender. I
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: think he would be happy to get himself out of Pittsburgh.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: He has been part of losing his entire career.
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: At this point, right, yep, one hundred percent. Okay, So I.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: Think it could happen. And if a team does want
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: him and thinks that, you know, this has just been
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: a little bit more of a down year for him,
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: but he's a really solid all around player with all
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: the tools, then then they go for it.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 56:36

• 57:43

• 57:47
  Speaker 1: teams uniforms to games or hats to games, like neither
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: of those teams are playing, So don't wear a different hat.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: There you go, AJ, you're up all right.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: So yesterday we had a conversation with Bruce Meyer and
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: of mine text me this about a signing deadline. What
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: if they incentivized teams by saying, if you sign a
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: guy before Thanksgiving, let's say you don't have to pay
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: fifty percent of that towards the competitive competitive balance tax.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: It gets to Christmas, it goes down to seventy five percent,
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: you know, and then etcetera, etcetera. And by the time
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: you get to, like, you know, February first, and one
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: hundred percent goes towards competitive balance tax.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's kind of a good idea.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: Incentivizes smaller market teams to sign guys earlier in the
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: free agent thing, and plus it gives them a reason
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: to sign guys. Bruce passes On he raised that the
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: other day. They absolutely said no, they said it was
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: da on arrival. But I thought that was kind of
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: a cool idea.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Wait that would help big market teams, not small market teams.
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: But it also gets signings. But also helps small market
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: teams too, because small market teams could jump in maybe
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: a little bit later when there's some guys, or jump
• 58:50
  Speaker 4: in early if they want.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: I thought it was a good idea.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good idea. I think incentivizing
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: teams to sign early with draft picks is fair for all.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: If you're saying it's going to help you with the CBT,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: that only helps the teams that dance around the CBT
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: that get be.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: I just thought it was an inventive idea, something that
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: both both sides could agree to, but apparently it was
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: shut down by the owners d OA.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: Well, think about it. Most of the owners are cheap,
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: so they're not going to do anything that's going to
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: prevent Basically, it hurts their soft salary cap, which is
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: their CBT, which punishes the big market teams. The picks
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: is the way to go. Hey, if you sign guys early,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: we'll give you comp picks. Teams love picks. That's the
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: way to do it. But again, they'll never do that
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: because they only want it to be created to punish,
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: not to incentivize. Punishes. Nothing can happen after this point.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: Incentivize is let's promote these things happening beforehand. It's that simple.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: They just don't want it to be for the good
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: of the game.
• 59:49
  Speaker 3: True, agreed. I just thought it was a cool idea.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Sorry, Scott, Well, do you like the picks better?
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, I like anything that incentivized teams to sign
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: guys yes for more money. I like anything that incentivizes
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: teams to spend their money that they're just putting in
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: their pocket.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Giving a crap helps. That usually helps, But I advise
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: everyone to listen to the combo yesterday. It was really insightful.
• 1:00:14
