• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Because if you sit there and go, I hope the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: next one doesn't come to me. That's what's happening. It's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: coming right to you. Hey.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, couple announcements before we begin.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Number one, how did Cody Clemens do yesterday after we
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: spoke to him? Aj?
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: I have no idea, Oh I have I have no
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: idea yesterday?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Nice, Hey, I have a question for you, actually, a
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: j Why do you like the White Sox so much
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: more than the Twins? Is it because you won the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: World Series there and you have more the success in
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the glory.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, you guys are pretty good on Minnesota.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Who said I did? I mean, I have to like
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: the White Sox we won there, But that doesn't mean
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I don't like the Twins. I mean, like I am,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I'm very much in touch with a lot of the
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: people on the Twins. Whether it's Mike Kerman, the travel
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Traveling Secretary, yes I called him that, Dustin Morris, the
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: you know, the PR guy who's been there forever, hot Rod,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: the equiment guy. I mean, I talked to those guys
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: a lot, the people that are still around. Heck, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: was just in four Myers at the Twins complex and
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: saw people that were still working there that I knew.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: So no, I have no dislike for the Twins at all.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: I just think people associate me more with the White Sox,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: so therefore I'm more involved or I was more involved
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: with them. But listen to Twins still invite me to
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Twins Fest every year. They invite me to do stuff
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: with them all the time. It's just the timing has
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: it worked out. But I will get to Twins Fest,
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: and I listen, I love my time in Minnesota, man,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I thought it was awesome.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Wait, let me rephrase. Why do you put yourself through
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the pain of watching the White Sox more than a
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: more lukewarm feeling of watching the Twins, which lately obviously
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: is a good feeling.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Right, you watch more White Sox.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: You have to remember, of course, I mean I do.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: But also you have to remember, I mean I did
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: work for the White Sox for a few years as
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: an ambassador to the fans, so and I still do
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: more things in Chicago than I do in minnesot So
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: it's not And plus, when you win in somewhere, it
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: makes you more a part of that, right Kratz, I
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: mean it's more of a more and like I said,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: more people remember me as a white suck than they do.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: People don't even barely remember that I played for the Twins.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Not a lot of people, I mean the people that
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: matter to but not not like the casual fan.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Krats, you're a Philly. You watch the Phillies the most.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: We know that. Who's second watch?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I watch all the teams.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: I know, you watch all the teams.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Brewers, Yankees. I would say it would probably be my
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: two second. If there's a second place, it's easier. It's
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: easier here because I can go out to eat in
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the games on I got to eat and there's no Brewers, Yankees,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Royals games on, nothing like that.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That's what I mean.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're naturally gonna usually catch a little bit
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: more of the local team, you know. For me, I'll
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: catch more Yankees and Mets, Raisin Marlins.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Although I will say I just feel like I.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Catch more West Coast because by the time everything's done
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: with FT, it's a calmer there's no meetings at eleven
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: PM usually, and then I watch games. But anyway, one
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: other note, the Mets have a day game today, so
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the Pete Alonzo interview schedule continues to push forward. Pete
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: would have joined us, but that would have happened during
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: in that bat and we wanted to let him play
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: his game. So Pete will play and he will join
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: us either later this week or early next week. We're
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: working on the schedule with him, and PR's been great
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: about figuring it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Out with us.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: He keeps trying. I know that he wanted to. He
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: told me when I.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Saw today was the day.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: No, I know, you know. When I saw him on Saturday,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: I was like, hey, did you cause I didn't know
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: he I thought he was supposed to be on last
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: week and I didn't know that he canceled. And so
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: I said to him, I said, man, I said, were
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: you on? He's like no, but I really want to
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: come on. I need to come on. And I said,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: all right, well let's do it this week. And then,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: you know, Pete didn't want to come on so badly.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: He had him change the game time from seven to one. So, jeez,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: there's been dodging us, and then there's been dodging us.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I want to name some other people that are dodging us, Manfred.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: But at least he didn't change a game schedule.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: True, true, he switched his daily schedule. But you can't
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: do that every day. You can't avoid us. We are
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: around Robert call us, you owe us. Let's charge charge
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: aj Are the Diamondbacks Okay, they're twenty seven and twenty eight.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I know it's early. They were up six to nothing
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: on the Pirates.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I was watching part of that game and kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: clicked away, and then I had to go back in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: because the Pirates stormed back, tied up the game. The
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: comeback be against Burns, completed itself against Ginkle, some of
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the bigger pitching names on that roster, and Brian Reynolds
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: with a four for four performance of three run homer
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that turned the game from six to six to nine
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: to six and the Pirate's dub. So that's one of
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: those that really stings for the Diamondbacks. And by the way,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we have a d back show called Snake's Territory. But
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: are they okay?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: No, you can't blow six sudden lead to a team
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: that can't score runs in the game. They went like
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a month without scoring five runs in the game and
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you give up nine. Now, listen, this is not you
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: can't put this on Corbyn Burns. I mean he went
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: seven innings two runs. So he pitched fine. But Ginkle
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: he was injured. It's not for Ginkle was injured. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: don't know if he's back all the way yet. He
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: was hurt in spring training. Great interview, but you know
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: he hasn't and Beaks and gravemen, but you know, they've
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: got to figure this out. The bullpen has kind of
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: been eh and they're you know, they're still scoring a
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: ton of runs. The Diamondbacks, they're just not pitching very well.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: And I mean, is that it's not on Tory, it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's on the pitching coach.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: But they got to figure this out because that division
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: is too tough because once you start having to play
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: in it all the time. They've kind of been lucky,
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: they've kind of been skirting it and they've played a
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: series here or there, but when you're in it, that
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: division is tough. You got to build these wins.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Now they do score runs, and obviously that bullpen is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: where it is. You're missing a few pieces. But to me,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: they scored six runs off of just so I get
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it right off of Burrows and Wentz and then they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: let them hang around in the game. To me, I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: get it. It's the same thing we're you know, sometimes
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: talking about the Orioles, like if your staff is going
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to give up runs, you assume Corbyn Burns is going
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: to do what he did last night, and he checked
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: those boxes. You have to keep adding on to allow
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: this stuff to not happen. But it's yeah, it's it's unfortunate.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It's unfortunate because of how they got to this spot.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: If you're a five hundred team and you blow a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: six run lead, it's way different than if you're a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: team it's ten games over five hundred you blow it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you're going to look back at this one.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: They wanted it later. Now it's like, holy crap, stuff's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: hitting the fan, and it is because this is the
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: day you were like, hey, we're winning. Our ace is
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: on the mound. Good news. They have Zach Gallon going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: again tonight, so they have the opportunity to crawl out
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of this. But it's getting late early, isn't that what
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Yogi said?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Krats, My pupp was picky not anymore with spotent tango unkibble,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: and it is about forty percent less expensive than frozen food,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: so we're saving in the wallet and we're making our
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: pups happier.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go apples to apples. I'm not cheap, but I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: don't want to waste my money on something that's good
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: for my dog. This is perfect.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they are very excited, both Bella crats Is pup
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and Penelope my little pup. For spot En Tango, you
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: can get your pup excited too, and there's no more
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: guessing how much to feed your dog either. Spoten Tango
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: creates a custom plan based on your dog's age, weight, breed,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and activity level.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It's a nice little survey.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: So upgrade your pets bowl with Spoten Tango Unkibble for
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: a limited time. Go to spotan tango dot com slash
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: foul use code foul to get fifty percent off your
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: first order. That's spotent tango dot com slash foul code
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: foul for fifty percent off your first order. Spoten tango
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: dot com slash foul code foul.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: When my thin crowds, you can't say they let them
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: hang around. They're up six to nothing in this game.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: That game's got to be a win. With your ace
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: on the mound and your ace gives you seven and
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: he leaves in its six to two, Like, that game's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: got to be over. There's the six nothing. That game
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: should be over. As soon as the game gets a
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: six nothing, it's over. You got Corbyn burds it gives
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: you seven. Yeah, he gave up a home run, but
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: that game can't You can't lose that game if you're
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: a serious playoff contender to go a long ways. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: know things can change, but they didn't let him hang around.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: It was six nothing. How many big league games were
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: you in that you came back from down six to
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: nothing in one.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: No, I get it. No, it shouldn't happen. It shouldn't happen.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But you're also facing not the best part of the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Pirates wrote pirates bullpen. You shouldn't have to face Bednar. Well,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Bednar comes in at the end of the game, like,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I get it. I mean, just it went off the rails.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: They scored six runs. I mean most of the time
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: when you're up six nothing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: You should be able to copy the records.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Look at every team, look at every team's record. If
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: usually five is the magic number, that score five or more,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: it's ridiculously good. I mean, you get to six runs,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: you score it's even better. I'm sure I don't know
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: the exact numbers, but every week when we do these games,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: every team we be like, oh, if they score three runs,
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: it's just their records is four or five. Once you
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: get the five and six runs, most big league teams
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: win those games.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: They need more bullpen help though, and I mean their
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: best bullpen arm obviously is Mia right now. And for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a team like them, really any team, when you're missing
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: the high leverage guys, it's not always easy to replace them.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Some guys will step up and fill in, and other
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: times you end up like the Diamondbacks, where you feel
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: like you have to score so many runs on a
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: nightly basis and you have to keep pouring it on.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So you can see, they're in fourth place already, seven
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: back of the Dodgers. Padres are two back of LA.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Giants are three back of LA. At the moment, it's
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a sub five hundred team. Now, if you hang around
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: the five hundred range and then take off late, you
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: can figure this out. I will say, you can put
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: together a nice run. But last year the bullpen was
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the problem Crats and they won eighty nine games, which
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: is great, but at the end of the day, you didn't.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Make the playoffs. They missed the playoffs by a game.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: And there were some bad, bad bullpen losses last year
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: for the Diamondbacks. So DBAX fans basically are getting a
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: lot of de ja vous right now with what's going on.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: And guess what Gallen does pitch tonight against Paul Skeens
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And I know the Pirates don't always support him, but
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that's not an easy dub.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It's not an easy dub. But here's what they have
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: that's different from last year. You have an extra starting
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: pitcher that obviously last night went seven. I know you
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: lost the game, but overall your bullpen will shouldn't continue
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: minus health concerns. I get it, guys are hurt they
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: can't pitch, But if you're not wearing your bullpen out
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: because you added another dude to the rotation at Buardo,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Riguez should pitch more than he did last year. Corbyn
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Burns is going to give you more innings. Hopefully, if
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you continue to add to your bullpen, they will be
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: healthier down the stretch and you won't have the same
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: collapse like they had last year. The issue is exactly
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the graphic we just showed. They're in the NL West.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I don't care about like not winning the n West,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: but they want to win a wild card spot. Look
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: at all those teams they have to play. You only
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: get a few laughers with the Rockies, like all those
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: teams upgraded this year or are playing better like the Padres,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: and you sit there and you go you got to
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: play all those teams. That's just gonna wear them down
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: when they have to chase teams like the Braves who
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: have been playing besides their slow start, have been playing
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: six hundred ball. They're gonna be chasing the Mets. They're
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be chasing possibly an Nlcentral team, most likely not,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: but it's gonna be an uphill battle that is gonna
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: wear on their bullpen and hopefully it doesn't come back
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: to bite them later in the season.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: There's not a lot of fixing you can do. That's
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: the problem.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: When you get closer to mid and July and trade
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: deadline time, you can get aggressive and try to outbid
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: teams for arms, but there's not much that you can
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: do right now. So we'll see if the Diamondbacks can
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: figure it out. I mean, I like the offense, I
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: like parts of the starting staff, I think this team
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: could be really dangerous in the playoffs, but you got
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to get there. We put up a pole just now,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: for the crowd that's watching online, how many teams make
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the playoffs from the National League West? If you had
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to decide right now, right now, it looks like three.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Just when you're playing the math game in the NL
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: could do this on the way out. I'll go three,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: So Dodgers, Padres, and then either the Diamondbacks or the Giants.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: If the Giants hang around, I still think the Diamondbacks
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: will get in and figure out the bullpen. So I'll
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: go three because then I'll go one in the National
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: League Central, and that would give us what two in
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the National League East, he'd get Mets, Phillies, Braves. One
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: of those wouldn't make it, which would be a pretty
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: big disappointment for one of those teams, a massive disappointment
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: for one of those teams.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: But I'll say three right now.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Anybody bold enough to say two and believe that the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: NL East will get three teams.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I'll take that.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'll take that.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I just don't know if the Giants and Diamondbacks can
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: hang on. I don't know if the Giants can hang
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: on the Diamondbacks figure it out. I think the Braves
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: are continue to climb. They're getting healthier, and one thing
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: we know about Antonpolis, he'll make the moves he needs
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: to make. Thinks they're out there. So that's why I think.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Mets I don't think are going anywhere.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I don't think the Phillies clearly aren't going anywhere. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: I think the Braves are going to continue to climb
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: because Anthopolis will get They got the Counya back, they're
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: getting Strider back. You know, everyone else is kind of
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: starting to come and Anthopolis will make the moves in
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: the bullpen he needs and they'll they'll figure it out.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll see, Kratz, did you make your decision?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't make my decision. I just feel like the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Diamonbacks are too good to miss the playoffs two years
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: in and have a tough time saying which of those
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: NLS teams isn't gonna make it.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: You have to decide.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, three from the west.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: There you go, three from the west, two from the east,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: one from the central. Let us know your thoughts. If
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you're watching.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Online right now on YouTube.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: All right, we're back is Bryce Harper, Okay, hit by
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a pitch yesterday first inning, Spencer Strider got him trying
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to pitch him in sidecrats and they're calling it a contusion,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: which is a fancy word for a Bruce. So it
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: sounds like he's gonna be okay, act rays, we're negative.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: But this happens to him almost every year.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets it. He gets hit a lot. Is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it the end of the world. I don't know. Man,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Like I I guess I'm not compassionate enough. Dudes get
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: hit in the elbow and they're out like you come
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: out of the game. I'm sitting there going, okay, he's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: done like to be And it was like immediate, Like
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: he knew it the other year when he got hit
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: in the hand, he knew it right away. So you're like, Okay,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: he broke something yesterday. You on the elbow. I think
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I'll I won't even take AJ's thunder. But there's something
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: that can that can solve that. But yeah, fortunately Strider's
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: not throwing his ninety nine right now, so it was
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: only ninety five. But the ball is a rubber center.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: What's the cure?
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Wear an elbow guard? I don't know they make a
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: billion different ones. I wore an elbow guard. Guess what
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: chan I do with my right arm? Guess to try
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I hit left hand? I guess with my lead obo
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: my right Guess what I got hit? I'll never forget
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Fort Myers. I was in spring training in the minor
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: league spring training. Guess who got hit in the elbow?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Me by some kid that didn't know what he was doing. Right,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I was in double A at the time. Right gets
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: smoked in the elbow swells up big, had to miss
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: a couple of days. Guess what next day? I had
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: the bike shin guard, the old bike one on my
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: elbow right or one ever since, because I was like,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not gonna miss a couple days by some guy
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: that can't throw a strike hit me in the elbow,
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Because what if you watch the video? What is Bryce
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Harper do sticks his elbow in front of him to
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: protect his ribs?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Ft FAM, you might have a boy old, crusty, unpretty
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: razor and it might be expensive, so AJ should they
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: consider another option?
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Look how cool this is? Look at the color scheme.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Look at it? Little sheath of what hide the blades
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: when you travel?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Works great?
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I mean using this for a couple of weeks now
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: on Harry's Clean, no bumps, no cuts, works great. And
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: you know the best part, it's a great price, especially
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: if you use the foul territory Cod Scott.
• 16:28

  Speaker 2: dollars at Harry's dot com slash foul. Use the exclusive
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: link Harry's dot com slash foul for a six dollars
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: trial set. Hey, we're back, and so is Orlando Ars
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: an agreement with the Rockies?
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: What was that?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I guess technically yesterday on an MLB deal, But the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: report from John Hammon is that the Yankees and Mets
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: also made offers to Urcia, but they were minor league offers.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: So the burning question, gentlemen, would you rather take a
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: minor league contract with the Mets or the Yankees. I'm
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: already seeing the head shake. No for aj or you
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: play for good old Dick Momfort's family, Colorado Rockies.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: You take where you get the opportunity to play in
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: the major leagues. For me, but that's just me. If
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: he goes there and he establishes, he gets a bat
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: and maybe he can get traded to the Rockies or
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the Mets. But why, there's no guarantees if he goes
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: either one of them's going to get called up. So
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: if he signs a major league deal, he's in the
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: big leagues. He doesn't want to go to Triple A.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I get it. I do the same thing.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yep, that makes sense. Yankees are Mets, you said Rockies.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: But I just want to stop the trolls. Yeah, morals
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: on fire today, so I want to stop him Kratz.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you take the big league job from a guy
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: who took a lot of mid season What should I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: take a minor league job had I gotten offered a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: big league job? One hundred percent, you take it. Those
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: teams will still be around if they need a job.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: They both have a pretty good shortstop right now. Not
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: saying the Rockies don't, but you have an opportunity to
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: play with the Rockies, and that's the only way to
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: increase your value.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Is he gonna play shortstop for the Rockies?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: No, No, he's got a better tense of getting at bets.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: He's got a better chance of getting big league at
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: bats with them than he does with the other two.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: All those whispers spreading rumors.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mooney from The Athletic and North Side Territory co
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: host with Sadev Sharma, Mooney putting this out. The Cubs
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: are open to negotiating an in season contract extension for
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Pete crow Armstrong. So apparently talks surfaced last month. Obviously
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: they asked Pete and he's just like, yeah, I'm here
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: to ball some comps here. Corbyn Carroll signed an eight year,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: one eleven extension, but that was I think with less
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: games under his belt. I was looking at Jackson Merrill
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: without doing a total comp on games played, but I
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: think there's more of a similarity there in terms of
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: how far into his big league career. Maybe Merrill was
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: a drop ahead, but those guys are different ballplayers. Yet
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: we'll stack up war young, super athletic center fielders that
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you want to have on your team for the next decade.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: My two questions aja number one, would you want Pete
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: crow Armstrong worrying about this during his breakout season? And
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: number two, would you take it? Ken Rosenthal just said,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: just play ball and worry about in the offseason if anything,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Because he's establishing his value right now. There are other
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: people that are like this. Dude's been doing this for
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: two months and has an opportunity to make one hundred
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: plus million dollars, go for it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: What do you think I tell.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: Him the hold off right now. I tell him to
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: wait till the end of the year. If if he
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: believes in himself, then you gamble on yourself and at
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: the end of the year that value is only going
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: to go. Of course, the team wants to do a
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: contract right now because they can get him cheaper if
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: he goes and he continues to play the way he's
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: playing right now, which is for me, like I said yesterday,
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: he's the MVP of the National League. You can make
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: that argument right now. I know, show hey and whatever
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: with this home runs, but you look at PCA's defense,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: home runs, stolen bases, all that. You can make that argument,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: especially for a good Cubs team that he kind of
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: came out of nowhere on. So if I'm him, I
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: played this year out and continue to do what I'm doing.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: If you believe it's real, you finish it and guess what,
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: your value only goes like this because it's another year
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: under your belt and you've proven you can do it
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: for a full year. So if he waits, he can
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: get more. And if they're not willing to negotiate now,
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: they'll be willing to negotiate in the offseason.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: And a player's psyche. If you're sitting there going, oh,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I hope I don't get hurt. You ain't gonna have
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: a good season anyway, player is sitting there going, oh,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I hope I don't get hurt. I need
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to sign this contract. If that's what he's thinking, Yeah,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: whatever they're offering, you go out and you take that deal.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: He's twenty three years old, he's got the world at
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: his fingertips right now. The way he's playing, his value
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: only goes up every single day because it looks like
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: his war goes up like zero point two every game.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: He steals bases, he plays elite defense in a premium position.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Oh and don't forget his team is winning, so there's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a lot that he's adding to his value every single
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: day that he waits. Of course the Cubs would love
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: to sign him. Cubs, if you want to sign him,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: it's going to have to be more than what you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: think because he's in it right now. He's in the fire,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: and I doubt he would sign something right now unless
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: it's monstrous.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Hey, Jay, I thought that you take your first massive
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: deal so that you're secured.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Then you do. You're doing an offseason before you're potentially
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: the most valuable player in the league. Yeah, if this
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: was the off season and they would have went to
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: him and said, hey, here's one hundred million, would he
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: have taken it. I think he would have taken it
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: and ran. But this ain't the offseason anymore, and he's
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: already putting up numbers this year. He's gonna be on
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: the All Star team unless some crazy happens. They're probably
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: gonna go to the postseason unless something crazy happens. All
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: this does is add value. His defense isn't going anywhere
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: unless something crazy happens. Right He's gonna play Gold Glove
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: center field. He's gonna win a Gold Glove right now.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: He's probably gonna win a silver slugger. He's gonna make
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: the All Star team. They're gonna be in the postseason.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Guess what.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Check check, chick, chick check. Every one of those checks
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: makes the check go bigger, bigger, bigger.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, let me present this from the Cub's front office. Pete.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: We understand what you're saying.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: We are going to pay you as if you are
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: going to project out what you're doing for the first
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: two months into the next four months of the season.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: We get it, We believe you. We'd just like to
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: see if this is a thing that we can get done,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: so we'll offer you the same deal that Jackson Merrill
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: was just offered.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Now, right now, right now, if you want to offer
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: him something that he would take and it would go
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in line with what AJ is saying about all you get,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you take your first deal, buy up a year of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: free agency, like that's to me as a player, with
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: all those things, in line with all those things, what
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: he's going to continue to pursue this year, like, I'll
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: take it. I'll take you know, some guaranteed money before
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: my before I reach free agency. If you want to
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: buy one year free agency or you want to just
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: buy up my arbitration years and maybe one team option
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: at an MVP rate. Then yeah, then I think about it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: But not a ten year, not a ten year Jackson
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Merrile type of deal.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, how about I go up from the Jackson merrill
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: deal and I offer you a Julio Rodriguez contract.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: So this was twenty twenty two. He signed it in
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: late August, after two hundred forty games in the Big League.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So if someone can look up how many games for Pete,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: I know it's less than that. Right now, Julio was
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: guaranteed twelve years two hundred ten million dollars. At the time,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: that sounded massive. It's crazy how quickly the numbers changed.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: He has player and club options in that deal, but
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: it was basically a seven year extension through twenty twenty nine.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: But it can be pushed all the way through the
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: twenty thirty nine season, and it could go as high
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: as seventeen years over four hundred and seventy million bucks,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: if you know, he gets some MVP finishes, all that
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But anyway, I like to look at
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the guarantee. If I said twelve to ten, there's all
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: kinds of fancy options in there. Is that something that
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: you could play ball with? Kraftz did you find the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: games played for twenty? Okay, so actually pretty close? Pretty close?
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Would you take the j Rod deal? If you're Pete
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: crow Armstrong, that's over two hundred million. How much more
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: are you getting in the offseason? I mean a lot
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: of this is played off of comps.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Jay Rudd's deal I think is a great deal for PCA.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: The other issue that the Cubs are going to run
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: into no idea, you know what kind of money you
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: had before. But he's first rounder, so he's not like
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he's not sitting there going, ooh, I'm hard up for
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: some cash. He can wait a little bit. That'll be
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: against the Cubs, not in the cubs favor, but to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: ten to ten guaranteed with those escalators, that would keep
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: him a Cub for life. Maybe, But that's that's a
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: big The Cubs don't go that high in my opinion, But.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: You know, agree, would he'd probably take that. If he
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: could get that deal right now, he probably take it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: But the Cubs ain't gonna go there. The Cubs ain't
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: gonna go there. If the Cubs. If the Cubs go there,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: the difference is who the Rodriguez was the face of
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: the Mariners. The face, I mean, the ultimate face, Like
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: he's the face of everything, Adidas, Team Mobile, the All
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Star Game, all that, right, and the Marriers knew that,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: so they wanted to lock him up. Pe Crow Armstrong
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: right now, the Cubs ain't gonna go there. They're just
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: not I wish, I mean, would they know? But Ricketts
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: ain't gonna go there. I'm sorry.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Hold up, hold up.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Let me also just drop the Jackson Merril contract extension,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: which was signed on April second, right when the season started.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Nine years, one thirty five is the guarantee and max
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: out at two hundred and four million dollars. There's a
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: thirty million dollar club option for a tenth season in there. Ken,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in one of his articles said, some people thought he
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: probably left one hundred and fifty to two hundred million
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: on the table, But that's if he gets the free agency.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: You look at the story of Jackson Merril, that's pretty cool.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: So wait, hold up, I have two counters here. Number one,
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: why can't he be the face of the Cubs for
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the next can he can?
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Amount of years?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're probably not going to resign Kyle Tucker,
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: So wouldn't.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: This be a good way to get the job done.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: He's charismatic, We've had him on our show. He's a
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: great interview. He's got different types of hair, right, He's
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: like he stands out on the field. He does everything right.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: He's an all out player. He plays really insane defense.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Like top of the League.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Runs pops here this year. What would prevent the face
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: versus Jay Rod?
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right now, it's it's Tucker. Because the Cubs fans
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: wanting to resign Tucker. They're not going to resign both
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: these So guess what if you're Peker Armstrong, they lose Tucker,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: Guess what it does to your You got him, you
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: got him, you got him. They're gonna have to sign somebody.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: I equate this to when Mark Burley left the White
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: Sox Freeenzy Grant. It was a long time ago. After
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: twenty eleven, Jerry reinserf goes, I won't sign a five
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: year deal to a picture. Burley signs in Miami for
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: five years. Guess what they do? They signed John Danks
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: to a five year deal. Because everyone's like, why the
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: hell didn't they sign Birley? Oh ah, he signed a
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: picture John Danks. Right, So if Tucker walks out the
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: door and Pek Armstrong throws up this monster year, he's
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: just gonna say, hey, look at me. It's my turn now.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, so hold on, I'm still trying to get a
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: deal done right now. Nine five was for Merril, to
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: ten was for Jay Rod. I'm going to go in between,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: but closer to Jay Rodd. I'm going to give you
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: ten years, and I'm gonna give you one hundred and
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: ninety million dollars and guaranteed there'll be some other fun
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: little bits in there. But ten years, one ninety right now,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: you're turning that down. Two months ago, if I told
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: you that, you'd be like, you're insane.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: This ain't my money. It ain't my job to turn
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: it down. It tis and he's got people telling him
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: to tell him.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think he turns that down.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: But I also think the Cubs see maybe his plate discipline,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: maybe the fact that he might be more of like
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: a two fifty with a three one hundred on base
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: percentage guy. They're not paying that much for defense. The
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: consistent part of his game is defense. Does speed age well,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: No does his body type. Say his speed is going
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: to age, well, no, is his defense going to age? Well? Yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: you got to me. If he's gonna win a gold Glove,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: he has a chance of winning a Gold Glove for
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: seven more years. So again, yes, I like the one ninety.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: He takes the one ninety he would be I think
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I think he takes that if that's the deal. Again, though,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: if you really want to get this done, it's not
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: about how long he's there for the Cubs. It's about
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: locking up some of these guaranteed years so that if
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: he does fall into the MVP this year, if Showhy
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't hit sixty five home runs, then you don't have
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to pay him as an MVP because then you're never
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: gonna You're just gonna get a year to year from
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: here on.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Now, these are the perfect guys that you try and
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: sign because in my mind, for these super athletes, the
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: prime years are right now. I don't know what eight
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: years from now is going to look like, but right now,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I mean what Arizona did with Corbyn Carl is insanely smart.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, while we have a minute aj.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Christian Camp, we'll get you get a little first base
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: time for the Red Sox signing up for this.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Someone's got to do it, anyone's I'll know he can
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: do it. He can do it, He'll he's played around enough.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: He'll be fine. But I don't know if you've seen
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: the if you've watched the Red Sox, first basis kind
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: of a whole for him right now. Do you see
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the game where the guy didn't know how to cover
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: first I mean, listen, first base is harder than what
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: people think it is. But yeah, they got to figure
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: out someone steady to play there, and it's Christian Campbell.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Great by the way. I know we talked about the Diamondbacks.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I watched that Red Sox game. That was pretty devastating
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: for them too. Chapman had been really good this year.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: It's his first blown save, sal Freelich cracks the code
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: and then Christian Yelich with the walk off grand slammer
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: later on.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: First ever walk off. Homer had no idea. I had no.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Idea me neither.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: You'd figure with the guy who's been in the league
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: for that long and has enough pop that he pulled
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: one of those off. Nope, hadn't been in on of
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: those spots. Are I hadn't come through in one of
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: those spots with a walk off homer. Walk off hits, yes,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: but not walk off homer.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Hey we're back.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Ronel Blanco is having season ending Tommy John surgery. The
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: announcement from the Astros today sucks for a rotation depth standpoint, AJ,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: this is a hit. I mean, it's a guy who
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: at the very least could have been, you know, a
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: back end starter for the rest of the year, filling
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: innings and at times we've seen flashes of brilliance from him.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: It was good for him last year. So yeah, this hurts,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: definitely hurts him, hurts their rotation. But Collers is back now,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: but Hunter, Hunter, old Hunter, my boy Hunter is still
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: pitching good. But yeah, they need they need Fromber to
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: pitch well, they need Hunter. This hurts their depth and
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: just definitely is a blow to them. And two years ago,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: before last year, we ever have thought man Ronel Blanco
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: is a big blow. But he just definitely hurts the
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Astros and their rotation depth.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: And he's starting pitching that sucks. I mean, it's really
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: touch for him too, because he kind of broke into
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the big leagues late. Now he gets the surgery. Better
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: have surgery in the big leagues and the minor leagues,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: but he was he was kind of becoming a piece
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: of this team. And the Astros just have to keep
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: doing what they're doing. They have to pick up from where.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: You know, nobody feels bad for the Astros because everyone's
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: gunning for him. It's a tough al West.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: This year, and they do have a say young candidate.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I mean Max Freed and Trek school will have been better,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: but Hunter Brown's pretty up there, so they've really found something.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: The Colors is back for the first time in years.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Ramber Valdez is still pretty much ramber Valdez, but I
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: mean they've gone through a lot of turnover. Todd father
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and I are from Jersey, so we're used to, oh
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I got a guy, but sometimes that just means when
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for a car, I go to car gurus.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think, honestly, the best part about this
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: communication which we love here in Jersey where we're from,
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: and this is a place where you can get a car.
• 32:53

• 32:55
  Speaker 5: They let you know when your car is ready and
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: when you can get it. The communication art is the
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: best thing for me.
• 33:01

• 33:48
  Speaker 2: this is the time for Krats to shine for the
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: next five minutes. I can't see anything I could do
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: not Kratz, So talk me through this one. Slappans is
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: all you, baby, but I'm here for you. I can talk.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: You gotta be my eyes and ears.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I mean. Ronnie Simon's being consoled by his teammates. He's
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: tearing up. He had like he made three airs, three
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: airs and four innings. He's making these mistakes as a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: young kid who is not not impervious to not being perfect.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: He tries to be perfect. He wants his he wants success,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: he wants to stay in the big leagues, absolutely, But
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: when you see absolute emotion like that, when you see
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: a kid who cares that much, a young kid, you
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: all can connect with that. Fans can connect with that,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: and Fernado Tetis can connect with it. His quote after
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the game was, it's baseball. It happens. This is Fernando Tatis,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: somebody from another team. Everyone who's won a goal Glove
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: or a Platinum Glove has had one of those games.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I definitely know he's a great player. He's backing him.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: He's backing him as a player. Fernando would sling some
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: balls around the yard. People probably don't remember he was
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a shortstop. He knows that playing in the infield you
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: need to make the plays and to have that vote
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: of confidence from not only your teammates patting him on
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the back, your manager consoling him on the mound. It's
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: okay to cry in the game, but having a a competitor,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: somebody you're playing against, say you know what, it's okay.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he'll be able to shake it off because the
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: beauty of baseball is also the horrors of baseball. As
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: a player, you go and get to play again today,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: you don't get to play again today in the big leagues.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: You get down, you get sent down to the minor leagues,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and you play again tomorrow. Like it's a game that
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to make up for your mistakes,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: but you also get an opportunity to get back out
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: there right away and say, oh no, I'm the only
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: person that's ever made three errors in four innings.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Well, Krats, let me ask you this. Yeah, let me
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: ask you this, Kratz. If you're his teammate and you're you,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: you're Crats, what do you do right Let's say you're
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: the backup catcher on the Marlins right now, what do
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: you personally do?
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: Do you completely avoid him? Let's say you guys are
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: not best friends.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Not like you don't know him, right, He's a teammate,
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: he's a normal teammate for you. How would you handle that?
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Would you just give him a pat? Would you drop
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: a joke? What would you do in your exact self.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Right there in that situation. I know my picture's pissed,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: because pictures do get mad when dudes make airs. You
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: know what a manager once told me to say, if
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you're going to have a mound visit after an air,
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: that person that made the air feels like that entire
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: mound visit is about them, and they feel like you're
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: talking about that. So he's in there. I would have Ronnie.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I would say, Ronnie, look me in the eye, look
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: me in the eye right now as I'm talking to you,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: because here's the reality of the situation. You're getting another
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: ground ball hit right to you. And if he's like no, no, no,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: it it of the time snaps guys out of it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: It's a big air. You didn't lose the game because
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: of your errors. The next one's coming to you. Because
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: if you sit there and go I hope the next
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: one doesn't come to me, guess what's happening, It's coming
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: right to you.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: That's right, very well done, crats. All right, we got
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: a minute to spare. Let me get some crats.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Hats kind of already showed it when Rube was on
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: because Driven got me traded to the Blue Jays. I
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: didn't want to go, but he traded me there. It's
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: kind of it's just like a sick I know the Jays,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: they like they changed their color schemes and everything, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: they had like the black and blue Blue Jay for
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit This new one is so fire because
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I like the I like the maple leaf, but I
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: really like the baby blue brim and a baby blue top.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Beautiful, beauty, beauty and FT fam.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Apologies, my eye is not cool right now, krats. You
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: ever had one of those moments where you're pretty much
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: fine for the day and all of a sudden, it
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: all hits you, and it's like, I don't care what
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: you're doing right now. I'm not talking about your eye.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about anything body wise. It just all hits you.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Some people at stomach right for me, I mean, dude,
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like suddenly, like sniffily, I'm like, I've been totally fine.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: It's like I got a cold and lost an eye
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: on the battlefield in the past hours. So not trying
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: to be a baby, but the eyes are not opening
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: right now. No matter what I can do, you gotta fight.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: You gotta fight through it, you fall through it. For
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: everybody with FT we all have it. Sometimes you just
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: can't play all nine innies.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's true, that's true. We do this every weekday.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Love your FT fam. We'll see tomorrow hopefully home run
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: blocks tonight. If you want to throw one out there,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: there's a little no sweat token to get your stake
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: back in bonus bets if that home run prop misses.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: Only on the bet MGM app gambling problem more concern.
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: Call one eight hundred gambler
