  Speaker 1: Happy Monday hipness, Bron, Are you allergic to Monday's skip?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: A little bit? I was hoping to sneak that little
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: last tissue, and before that came.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Out, I obviously would ignore you, but I couldn't if
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: they heard it, so then I have to acknowledge it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: so that I don't ignore it, or they say why
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: did you ignore his sneeze and say, actually, what are
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you supposed to say?
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Bless?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I wore this hat for AJ returning back to the
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: States from a fun Scotland trip, it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Looked like, Yeah, it was good.
• 0:29
  Speaker 5: It was fun, a lot of golf, a lot of walking,
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: got all my steps in, a little bit more drinking
• 0:35
  Speaker 5: than I would have liked to have.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: I don't actually know.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: It wasn't more than I would have liked to but
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: we drink a lot of alcohol. Got to play some
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: awesome courses. I know, kid, you were over there not
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: too long ago.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Beautiful country, beautiful people, fun people, man, what a group
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: of fun people. Scottish people were great.
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: Golf courses are great, as you would expect in Scotland,
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: where golf was kind of invented.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Oh you know what we call best more than anything?
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Kip all good weather only had two holes where it
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: rained on us the whole week. Other than that it
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: was like seven. I was sixty five ish to seventy
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: and sunny and barely any wind.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It was fabulous, barely any wind. That's impressive. That makes
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the whole trip though, is getting good weather. I think
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we only got rained on the first day and the last.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: But the first day we got hailed too. Oh no, yeah, no,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I think trying to line up a pot it looks
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: up and starts getting pelted in the forehead with.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Nope, we would have walked right off the course, bath,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: right off the course. It was great. There was a
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: wonderful trip. I'm happy to be back. Yeah, it was.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: It was great.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: As you know, people are great. Foods kind of man.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: It's gotten better, though, I will say the food has
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: gotten better. But if you haven't had hagas, haggis is hagis.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: But we drank it's like some kind of sausage in
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Scotland's famous for it. You know what. We drank a
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: lot of.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fat ish, yeah, of course things. I don't know.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's not it's not good.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: It's terrible, unappealing name. I'll tell you that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: You know we uh drank a lot of baby Guinness.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: We ever had a baby Guinness. It's in Bailey's. It's
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: a shot and it's only and it tastes like guinness.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: We drank.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: A lot of these because they were easy and every time,
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: I mean it was like as soon as one was
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: gone and there was there was what six or eight six.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Eight of us.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: That's like a dessert.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: I mean it was.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, do you have any fun caddies?
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I had one.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: There was two caddies I couldn't understand. One was that
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: Trump Turnberry and one was.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Uh at uh.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Not of course uh Western Gales. I couldn't understand the
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: guy Trump, the Trump the caddy I had at Trump Turnberry.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I was like, dude, you're not You're not speaking English.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: I know you are, but you're not speaking English.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Well we're gonna spek English for most of the next
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: hour and a half. So yeah, let's do that. Let's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: actually charge. We'll save that other thing for slap. Let's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: charge since it's some breaking news here. Right before the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: show started out, Dana Brown not coming back to the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: astros like today, so he was on a lame duck contract,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: which is always fun and Jim Crane, the owner of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the Astros, said I've seen enough. You're in first place.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I've seen enough. So Brown is fired whatever they call it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: In the press release, he was let go. He is
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a super talented scout and talent evaluator in our sport
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for over thirty years. He had basically a four year
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: run with the Astros, and Bob Knightinge reported that they
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: didn't have an intention of giving him a contract after
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: this season. Well, you know what happens to AJ when
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you don't have a contract after a season where your
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: contract's expiring.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Yet let go.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I agree with Bob on this one. I don't understand
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: why you do it now? What's the point Kivia doing it?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: You're in first place, You're in the playoffs, you know.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: I don't know Jim Crane other than he's got a great.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Golf course in Florida called The Flirting, which is beautiful.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: And I've probably said hide him once or twice in
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: an elevator in Houston because I've done a million games there.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: But other than that, I don't understand why.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Now this is the second time where the the Askers
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: have fired their GM in the middle of a season
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: where they're doing really well. Remember they won the World
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Series a few years ago and they got rid of
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: their GM before they hired Dana Brown. So I don't
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: understand what what the timing of this makes sense. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: guess you can get a jump on next year, but
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the Astros are in it. I think Dana Brown's doing
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: a good job with what he's been given.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I mean the place, I don't yeah, I agree with you,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I want doing very well. I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they have a losing record. It's one of the one
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: divisions where nobody has a winning record. But it is
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: a weird timing to me. I'm trying to think if
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: where you're talking about getting a jump on someone is
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: there unbeknownst to me, is there someone available that they
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: want to get a head started on trying to high
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: or anything like that, because otherwise I'm not sure what
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: this signifies or why this they think this would be
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the right time to do it. Is this gonna boost
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the team?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Is this gonna boost the teams morale? Does it?
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Why after the trade deadline? Why don't do it before
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: the season. You just made the trades of the trade
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: deadline to try to help them, and now you get
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: rid of them because they had a bad homestand they
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: had a bad home stand because they couldn't pitch.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure when I looked.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But feels like we're not. I feel like there's got
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to be something more to it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: No, I think he's trying to send a message.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: But do you really send a message to your team
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: by firing your general manager in late August?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: No, players don't care at that point, trade deadline's done.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: What does it prove? What does it prove? I don't know.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I don't understand the timing.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, Jim Crane knows way Moore, but I mean
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: you've handcuffed Jana Brown since he's been there. They won't
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: do long term contracts with pitchers, they won't spend any money.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: They go out and trade for Carlos Korea, who Jim
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: Crane had to agree to, and then he's hurting.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: He misses the whole year. How is this Dana Brown's fault?
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: They have a very specific format.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Kip so the largest contract they've given out, and I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: would say they should be more of an upper echelon
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: team than they are. Most of the time. They largely
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: treat the luxury tax as a salary cap. They hover
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: around that number, right, So the largest contract they've ever
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: given out is one hundred and fifty one million dollars.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: That's one of the l two Vay extensions.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Sounds big, but it's not big in baseball terms for
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the history of a franchise that's also had a lot
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of success. I mean, they had a lot of success
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: over the last ten to fifteen years. They also hadn't
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: given out a free agent contract above I think it
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: was fifty eight million dollars up until two years ago.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: They finally did it with Josh Hater and how did
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: that work out? I mean, I know he's had some injuries,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: but he's been freaking awesome as a signing for them.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So a lot of guys leave, right and a lot
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: of times the guys that leave, you know, they end
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: up not regretting.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Carlos Kre has had plenty of injuries.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker doesn't look good right now, and they traded him,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of course, even before his platform season. So when you
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: look at Dana Brown taking over after James Klick was
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: essentially whatever you want to call it, let go or
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: given a one year deal again after they won a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: World Series.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: There was also a gap there.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: During that gap, Jim Crane and some others took over
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and they signed Jose Bray terrible idea. They gave more
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: money to Rafael Montero, terrible idea.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They had draft picks.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: That were punished and taken away from them from the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: science dealing scandal.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: And I know that was a few years ago.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: But my point is Dana Brown came in when all
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of that was hitting him in the face. I think
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: he's done a pretty good job. It's hard to maintain
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a winning team every year, and he's been in it.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: They didn't make the playoffs last year for the first
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: time in what eight seasons, and they're in first place
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: right now. So I don't know what you're looking for,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: but it sounds to me like they're going to go
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the complete opposite route. They're going to nowdate someone who's
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: like super analytical. Everything is computer models, like Dana Brown
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: had that, but he also had the supreme scouting background.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: That's my guess.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: But also, what will happen just means Joe Spot is probably
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: gone too.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Yeah, he's on this is it for his contract too?
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Will gobble him up. He's awesome.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's some saying. Teams are brought to gobble up
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: in a brown too. I think that's why I'm like,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: there's got to be something that we're missing here, because
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: it just doesn't make sense of the timing or the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: reasoning where he's done well. The Ashers has been a
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: top of the AL for a while. They said this
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: last year is the first year they didn't make the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: playoffs in eight seasons, and they're back in first place
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: this year. Whether they're not playing up to their capabilities
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: or whatever, that's a different conversation. But I don't know.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: It just seems like I just don't understand this move.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: It just seems out of nowhere, like I don't know. Again,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I stick by I don't We don't have all the information.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: It's just got to be some other story that comes
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: out later, or why does this happen here? I'd like
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: to hear a reasoning by them.
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: One of the things that I wasn't very good at, well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: it's playing major League baseball. One of the things that
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: I'm really good at is sweating. Even now when I'm
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: not playing, I need hydration. I need to make sure
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: it's convenient. That's why I choose Quints.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yep Quints Electrolyades sticks to the Rescue Kratz. They taste
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: great and the zero sugar options are Stevia free. They're
• 9:05

• 9:37
  Speaker 1: or prevent any disease. I don't think there's some other
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: story that you're gonna find. I think Jim Crane is
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: looking at this going, hey, you signed like six seven
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: pitchers in the off season, and two of them were
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: for big money or I guess, let me rephrase that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: one was for big money and ami that hasn't worked.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Out. Mike Burrows was acquired. That hasn't worked out.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: It's the fine though, he's Mike Burrows has been fine.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: He wasn't big money, yeah, right, but he was sent
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: down like he was bad that he was sent down,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: And I mean he hasn't been a success.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Again, we're talking about like you're not working with much here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: You're not talking about signing who was the biggest free
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: agent in this offseason Kyle Tucker.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Well, right, they lost him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: They traded him and.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Got back Cam Smith parades, they got back starting players.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: It was a great trade by Dana Brown. Right, So
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: I don't understand this is That's why it doesn't make sense.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Dana Brown's dealt with the hand he's been dealt, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: I think he's done a pretty good job with what
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: he's been dealt. Now, you can you can argue that,
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: but I mean the Astros have been always finished over
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: five hundred. Last year they were way down. They almost
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: got to the postseason. I mean, everyone in the American
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: League sucks this year except for the Rays and Yankees
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: pretty much.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: So, I mean he's in.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: First place, could be worse. It could be the Mariners.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Jered Depoto's on danger fire.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's been there for a long time.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: To me, I actually don't think what Kip is talking
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: about is a real thing. I look, I legitimately don't
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: think there's like something else that went on behind the scenes.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I think that Jim Crane is one of the most
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: demanding owners in baseball. I think he's one of the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: better owners in baseball because he played college ball and
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: he knows ball. He's one of whatever five to seven
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: owners that actually know baseball. So I think that's an
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: advantage but can also be a disadvantage. And he has
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: said there will never not be a winning window during
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: my tenure. That's that's demanding, that's tough. We'll always have
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a winning window. But we also can't sign any guys
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to long term deals at this level.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of rules.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but they also have a bad farm system because
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: the only way they can get players is they have
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: to trade them away or they you know, they have
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: to trade for big name players to get them there
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: because they won't sign anybody to long term deals. So
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: how do you diminish a farm system quicker than anything?
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: You trade away all your prospects for players to try
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: to keep your winning window. Eventually, listen to a J Peler, Yes,
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: has he kept it going by trading guys away? Yes,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: but they also signed big name propect, I mean big
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: name free ages Bogerts. You can say what you want
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: about their contract man, Nay Machado. Right, they signed these
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: guys to free agent deals, or they sign their guys
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: to stay there. Right, it's not always a trade. It's
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: tough sledding. If your longest free agent deal you'll sign
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: a pitcher two is like three years, it's hard to
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: get guys to come there.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Playing to your point, this year they made one deal
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: at the deadline. They didn't have the prospect capital acquire
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: any of the big starters. Based on what you're saying,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and their trade for Dalton bar Show included Spencer Aarraghetti
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that's a big league starter on many other teams, they're
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: trading a prospect. But when you feel like you don't
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have enough because of this problem, that's where you run
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: into a challenging job. And they're in first place. Yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the American League West is a dumpster fire, but they're
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: tied for first place in the dumpster fire.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, fair point. I believe you that there may might
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: not be anything more to this that it is just
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: coming from the top down and the decision making process.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: But it's just peculiar. That doesn't make sense. And if
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: it is the president just having that kind of tite
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: of a ship to run, then so be it. That sucks.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: But I think David Brown will land on his feet
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: somewhere for sure. If he's that good of a scouter
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: like we talked about, then I think he's pushed enough
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: right buns in his time there that he should be
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: laying on his feet. Someone should be happy that he
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: just got let go of.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jim Crane's gonna run baseball operations in the meantime
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: and a number of assistant gms and advisors.
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, Jim Crane, what does he know about? I
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: mean there are still waiver claims that can be made.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like who is it?
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Zach Ltel just got put got defade right, that wouldn't
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: be a maybe a bad pickup for someone like Houston.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: But if they don't have a GM, what is Jim
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Crane gonna put in the waiver claim?
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I don't think he should his team.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: He can do whatever he wants.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, kids on a team. Someday you can do whatever
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: you want and success.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So that's the thing is, you can only do so
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: much critiquing on someone who's won a lot.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, he said, but now turned out to be interesting.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Well, there was trouble back then. Yes, they won a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: World Series without the trouble too. If they fired the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: g I know in the middle of the year. I'm
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: not I'm saying they've had the success though. Yes, it's
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: weird how it's played out.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: So you know what he's hoping. They fired Dana Brown.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: They going to run they win a World Series. That's
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: what Jim Crane in his mind is thinking. We did
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: this once, it'll work again.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, nobody's that important. It's about the team. It's about
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: the astros on the front of the uniform. So the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: astros are in there. I know they haven't played well, right,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: They've lost seven of e or they're seven and eleven
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: since the beginning of August. August second, Yeah, they had
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a bad stretcher. Everybody in that division is having a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: bad stretch. The Rangers just tied them in the standings.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: They're six and seven in the past two weeks against
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the A's. The Angels, the Nats, like they all are
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: not playing. Well, it's not you, it's everyone.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: So yeah, nobody, nobody in that division is good.
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: Nobody in the American League, he said, for the Rays,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: I mean, I guess the White Sox are considered good
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Yankees and the Yankees raising Yankees are the Red Sox
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Red Sox. Yeah, yeah, so I guess you could throw
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the Red Sox in there. Yeah, but they weren't a
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: month ago.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Now they're good.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: There's four teams with winning records in the American League.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: So everybody, I know, the White Sox hiring their jam
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: White Sox two seed with a bye by the way,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: how you don't, but now it would be the White
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Sox was the winner of the Astros and the Guardian
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Slash Rangers to go to the LCS.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, everybody think about that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: And then the Rays and the Yankees are probably gonna
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: have to play each other, and the Yankees are gonna
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: have to probably play the Red.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Sox beat up on each other.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Then they're gonna play the Rays and then they're probably
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: gonna have to play the White Sox to go to
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: the World Series.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: That's weird. The Als for the White Sox White Sox.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: What happened?
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Teams in the al were in the race and they sold.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: That's just that's more of a sport problem.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: And Tiger fans, how are we doing? Love you? We're
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: gonna talk about all the Tiger fans. How we doing
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: out there? I love you guys.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: A J also loves Ken Rose and thal Who's back.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Some people were like, where did Ken go? He takes
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: like one break the whole year, and he took it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and now he's back. Fair Territory. This Morning also covers

  Speaker 1: Two homers and he had an outfield assists, right, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: that was in that game too, So he had one
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: good one.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: He had one good game and then I mean he
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: was Luise Robert and the other ones.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, somebody like, I know some Diard Mets fans.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: They were like, do you think the Mets will keep
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Robert as a fourth outfielder and pick up his option?
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh my god, now they want him?
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: What anyway, let's talk about the positives there. Rogers nice
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: for the White Sox.

• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Homer by uh Trustan Peters yesterday after blowing the leading

  Speaker 5: to night, which listen Greg Taylor has done.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: But there.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I still wish they would have went out
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: and got some like a closer, closer, But.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't get it much. Bullpender, Well they got
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: who do they get? Bro?
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: They got pros?
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Was it?
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Yes? They got a starter, Brough, they got a starter
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: they got they got Joey.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Bart They it was okay, it was. It was a
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: good White Sox trade.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Well they're being cautious about the futures. The winning window
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: there in first place. Hey, they're in first place. They're
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: going to win this division.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Kip, but the Guardians ain't it, The Tigers,
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: ain't it, the Twins ain't it.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Sorry, we'll see, we'll see. We got time.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: No regrets.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: What movie was that we're the Millers. Yeah, not even
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: one letter.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Raphael Devers, when asked if there were any regrets about
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: how things ended in Boston, quick.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: No, what's he supposed to say? He got traded. He
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: didn't ask to He got traded. He couldn't stop him.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Also, I don't think he wanted to be there.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: He was at the point where he didn't want to
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: be there.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: Wait, Kip, we can't hear you. You look great, I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: admit yourself. Oh your Mike maybe touched the mic. It
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: might be read and then you can make it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: It wasn't wasn't mute.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: We got you, got you, we got you?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Yep, technology Sorry, what do you got he wasn't. Yes,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: he was traded, but he kind of like forced his
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: hand out of there, not switching positions, not doing a
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: couple of stuff. So I think that's what they're more
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: asking about. And if I were him, I would have
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: some regrets. I think the way he handled himself, not
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: maybe about leaving Boston and Boston traded him.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Then.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he has no say on that. I guess the
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: final decision, but I think he has he should have
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: some regrets the way he handled some things.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but You can't admit that. You can't admit that
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: to the Boston because then it's over.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Then they're going to destroy you more than they already did.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: There'll be books, they'll never stop.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just listen. He got traded. They weren't.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: He didn't like the way they handled him, having to
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: move to first base. He's a big boy, he said
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: his thing, and then they.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Got take got whooped.
• 19:06

  Speaker 3: Block Corner Today is presented by New York Life.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: We had the MLB Little League Classic presented by New
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: York Life on Sunday. It's one of my favorite events
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: of the year. I know the Braves won the game,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: they lost the series, and there were some good things
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to point out from the actual game itself, but I
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: just always look for the moments, the post game slap
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: pans with both sides, the kids interacting with the players,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: all of that is super cool.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: It was fun.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I didn't watch it.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I was a little jet lag, so I didn't
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: watch it. I saw score moving to kit Yeah, I
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: am sorry. I'm gonna be honest. I didn't watch it.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I thought it was cool.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: I thought I'd like to also give another shout out.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I liked how the players gave some shoutouts to Carl Ravich.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I think that was his last game for the honor.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: I thought that was cool. It is fun. I forget
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: who had the quote where it's kind of a good
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: reminder to all the big leaguers of what where we
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: all started, when the love of the game was the
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: only thing that got us to the field and all
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: that stuff, where it wasn't a business yet and you're
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: just playing because you enjoyed putting on spikes and being
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: with friends. And I think that it's it brings you
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: back and it kind of recenters your perspective on it
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: if it ever gets if it ever needs to. So
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I thought it was cool.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Now that part I can agree with.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I think it's cool every year they do this because
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: it does show what the big league players and how
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: much they do enjoy playing baseball just on the on
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: the smaller level. And then when you watch the Little
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: League World Series, how fun it is.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: And I promise you, if you go into every big
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: league clubhouse the Little League World Series is on in
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: the clubhouse, they're watching it. They're they're like.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, look at this crazy kid or whatever. You know,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: whenever someone hits a bomb, players go crazy. So in
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: that regard, I think it's awesome. I think it's great.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: The call ravaging to me is unbelievable what a professional
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: call ravits is because I know this. If someone tells
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: me we're laying you off, I'm not going to continue
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: to work. Why would you continue to work?
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Like? See you later, dude. So Carl, I tip my
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: cap to You're on our network. You're the man. I
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: think that you know the fact that you went so
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: professional like that is pretty awesome. Good for you.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: Sorry that it's over, because you were one of the
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: voices of baseball for a really long time on a
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: channel right now that doesn't seem to love baseball.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Well, take a mis er ask he loves baseball, and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: we have a good clip of him.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: This was one of the moments that sold the show.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: And with the Miz today came up to the arcade
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: room while I was playing on Gonna Be the Show,
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: So he just said I asked him for the same
• 22:30
  Speaker 7: advice and he said, throw middle, middle and pray.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Well, when you're one hundred and four, I was gonna say,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: when you're flinging one hundred and five, there's a lot
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: lot more, a lot more throwing, a lot less praying
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: for him.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: So that was Chris sl on the broadcast.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You know, talking to a little leaguer who was going
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: over the advice from the miz who can give different advice.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: He might have that different perspective.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: We've talked about this with like a Miggey or somebody
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: who has the natural ability and tries to give advice,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't really necessarily apply since they're superhuman.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, usually the best hitters weren't very good hitting coaches, Kip,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: I'm sure. I don't know if you were around that
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: very often, but a lot of the times the best
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: hitters aren't the best hitting coaches.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: And yeah, yeah, miss is like throw a middle middle.
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well in the mist throws one hundred and five,
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: you can throw it down in the middle, and then
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: everyone's looking for one hundred and five and he throws
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: a slider. So yeah, I think that, uh is pretty
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: funny that he said that when he gets it, when
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: he when he loses some of that velo and he's
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: only throwing ninety five, let's see how good he.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: Is throwing it down the middle.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: But I was gonna say that that was a very
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: professional way by Sale and Eduardo and Carl to just
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: be like shut up, like you're you're not the same
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: way one O five gets doesn't get touched like that.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I think I love I do love the interactions. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: love that all the major league players get to hang
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: out the little guys. And you're absolutely right. I think
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: some of the best ones where they're like, oh, just
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: just hit the ball the other way. When it's away,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: You're like, I need to know a little bit more information.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Some some of the best hitters do not make the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: best hitting coaches. That is an understatement for that.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: We had some good names there with two of the
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: better teams in baseball. Ron Lukun junior footage where the
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: kids are crowding him, Jackson Churio. Is there some young
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: stars in the sport that we're getting some interaction time
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: with some of the little leaguers so we can show
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that there.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: That because I think those kids are going to be
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: excited to get any autograph and to see anybody the
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: big leaguer. They might not even know any some of
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: the players, and they're still going to be excited. But
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to have the bigger names Yacuna Juniors and like that
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: to go and spend time with that, I think that
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: means a lot in both ways.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: So Michael Harris hit a home run, and he said postgame,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a bunch of kids were going hit a homer and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: he said they were saying it before every ab and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: so he's like, I felt like I was letting them down.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Eventually I had to do it. I'm glad he got
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: it done for a little insurance run for the Brave.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: It's not that easy. It's not the episode where the
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: kid tells Paul O'Neil to hit two. It's not that easy. People.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: People yell at you all the time. Hit a home run.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: You're killing my fantasy team. Dude, it's not that easy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Trust me. I care way more about my stats than
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: you do for your fantasy team.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: I promise fact.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Next Little Classic Blue Jays Cubs. So it's a good one,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: some good ones. It'll be another some more good names.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I agree, Yes, uh Bragman, PCA Blattie, Junior Savage Geese.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, those two teams.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Good name.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: We last time I was on here, we talked about
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the Iowa game, the Field of Dreams game. Are they
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: going to try to do it where it's like kind
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: of one big market team one small market team, or like,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: how is that what they try to do with this too.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Those are two big markets.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there are big big boys right there, Jays and Cubs.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: So I'm saying I was like, it doesn't seem like
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: it's the same process for as the Iowa game, where
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: they kind of even it out or try to get
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: everybody that national uh television game. I think they're going
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: big game, big guys for this one.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah they are.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Yep, it's a different setup for this one. So yeah,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: got some big boy teams and even in this case
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: this year, I mean, the Braves are one of the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: most popular teams in the country. Of course in Milwaukee,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: even though they're in a small market, you basically know
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a competitive team, you know, every year
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: for the past almost decade.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: So it was a good mix there. It was fun.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And also our boy Todd Frazier's out there hustling, working hard.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: He was at the New York Life area and the
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: fan zone and he was talking to fans and signing
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: items and he did a little thang for us, Todd father.
• 26:36

• 28:07

• 28:12
  Speaker 1: but many were handwritten.
• 28:14

  Speaker 1: the roup of the Braves, Christopher Sanchez, gives up fourth.

  Speaker 1: That's a lot for him. Aj they're down to their

  Speaker 5: Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't even know what to say.

  Speaker 4: how hard it is to make up this many games
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: at the end.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: How many games are the White Socks above Cleveland?
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Uh, four and a half. I think more than three.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: So I know that it's more than three.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say that one. You guys are too late.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Three and a half compared to that. One's down?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, all right?
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: For in the lost, for in the lost, and they
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: have this and they have the season series, so that's
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: really five.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: So Detroit thought, enjoy the thought it was last year too.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Detroit thought it was last year.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they had one. Now there they had scoobl and
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: now they're better without school.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: We will get to that. By the way.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: For the Phillies, it wasn't just I mean, Schwarber had
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the schwar bomb walk off, Boom has been on fire.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Sosa had the ball shot down the line to or
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: whatever they shot the whatever. I can't say anything creative.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Sosa had a hit that cleared the bags and they
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: scored a lot of runs.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: De la Cruz like. It was some of the depth
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: guys coming through.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, So the Catl Marte saga continues. We
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: cover it almost every day for the past week because
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: we keep getting more quotes from teammates. From manager Tory Lebelo,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: who is known as one of the nicest guys in
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: the game, but he's been very frustrated and out of
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: the loop on the situation. The real part that went
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: super viral to was Katel Marte at a casino playing
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: roulette while the team's playing their game, and Tory said
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: he can do what he wants to do after he
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: does his rehab. Other people at other thoughts. This is
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: just prime foul territory. Tell me, what is the perception
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: of a team when a guy ditches the team. We
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: don't know everything going on, but ditches the team. Team
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: places him on the il from the restricted list. He's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: going to battle himself back from rehab. Whatever the heck
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: it is. Right, the knee popped up and you see
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: him at a casino. He's allowed to do what he wants.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: But do you want him at the casino during the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Diamondbacks game? What's the optics from the team?
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: AJ?
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: How do I say this nicely without someone wanting to
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: kill me.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody is going to disagree with what
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you're about to say.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Sit your ass at home, yes, or go to the
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: game you're in there, I mean wherever they are.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: If they're in Arizona, you should be at the game.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: They were in Arizona.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: If you should be at the game, what.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: The hell are you doing?
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: Okay, I don't I've never seen anything. I mean, listen,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: C J.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Abras is at the casino at two in the morning. Whatever, Okay,
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: that's happened. I've seen him in the game though, great,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: that's my point, Like, I've seen that everyone went in
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: a tizzy for this. Co tell Marte, first of all,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: this is not the first time he hasn't shown up
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: and they don't know where he is. It happened last
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: year and they all came out and defended him, said
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: something's going on. He just and then they go to
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Boston for, by the way, a very important series, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: they don't mention that he was hurt.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: They throw his ass on the restricted list. So that
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: tells you that they had no idea where he was.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: And then miraculously he hurts his knee and he goes
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: on the IL. Now someone something happened, some negotiation happened
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: with the agent and the team and the player and
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: the owner.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Because he didn't go from the restricted list of the IL.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: And then we actually show up back in Arizona and
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: has to go to the you know, the rehab facility,
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: which is their minor Leaue complex, which by the way,
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: isn't in a Florida versus Arizona.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: It's ten minutes from their stadium. Why is he rehabbing
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: with the team in Chase Field.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Can he be in the dugout?
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, can be in the dugouts?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: So what am I missing here.
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: That's what I don't understand. Why is he not rehaving
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: with the major league trainers. It's just it's a terrible look.
• 34:10
  Speaker 9: I mean, the whole thing is a terrible look. It's
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: just nonsense.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: You're dealing with the player who's kind of becoming more
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: and more unreliable a little bit, and he's, for all
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: intents and purposes, it sounds like he's a good guy.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: It sounds like he's very loved in that clubhouse or
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I mean one of the leaders he should be. He's
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: been there for the longest tenured, i want to say,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: of that team, or at least one of them, which
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: kind of means he's going a little bit unchecked because
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: you need someone to sell him just to hey, sit
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: your ass at home or in the dugout. Those are
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: your two options. Why because then if you don't and
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: you go to a casino, it's gonna look terrible. You're
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: gonna have shows like us talking about you, an unneeded
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: coverage that doesn't need it. So you got no one
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: telling him just to get his butt in the dugout
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: or do something the right way, because you weren't doing
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: it the right way a little bit nobody knows what
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: if you got something going on, We're gonna be there
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: for you. We're gonna help you. But let us help you.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Don't make us look by going to casino while the
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: game's going on ten minutes away.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: But also Tory Levello, let's not forget. They had to
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: have a press conference with uh Deheraldo Perdomo and Tory
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Leavello saying he's a good guy, he's a great guy.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: He missed time. He's remember he missed those games and
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: they didn't know where he was. And then it's something
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: with his mom. I think came up where his mom
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: was sick or something happened. There was a family issue
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: back in Dominican and he just missed games.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: This time, they didn't know where he was.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: They show up to Boston, They're like, oh, I guess
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Cautel's gonna show up tomorrow.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: We don't know.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: Just it's not that hard to send it if something's
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: going on, Like Kip, I know this for a fact,
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: Like I went through stuff when I played, right, you
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: went through stuff when you played, whether it's family issues,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: personal issues. Guys, you played with personal issues.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Things that you go.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: Go to funerals like there's stuff.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Pops up, and you know what you do.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: You pick up the phone, you say, skip, whoever you'r Tory, sorry,
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna miss today's game. And you know what they do,
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: They say, Hey, he had a personal issue. We don't
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: want to talk about it, but he's going to miss
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: a game or two. We'll put him on the another,
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: the bereavement list for a couple of days. But to
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: just not show up and to not puts everybody in
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: your team in a bad spot. I'm sorry, yeah, put
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: your team or organization. And then Tory is tired of
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: talking about it. You already see it. Tory's covered your
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: ass once. He's like, I'm not going again.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Help them, help you, give
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: them a heads up, let them know what's going on
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: so they can cover your back. And so so like
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Toy doesn't have to keep talking about this, don't go
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to the casino. So he has to keep and bringing
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: it up again when he wants to talk about his
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: team and keep baseball the focus, especially in the playoff race.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: It's just I'm very curious what the full tone of
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: the locker room is of what other players, because if
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: it is something serious if it was with his mom.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Obviously you are empathetic towards that and you want to
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: be there for a friend and a teammate. But at
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: the same time, he's just going about things the wrong
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: way and he's not doing himself any anything by the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: way he's approaching it.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I tried to check with some people I know in
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: baseball and say, hey, how is Friday night not a
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: massive slap in the face to everybody that's trying to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: cover for you. There's so many parts where I feel
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: like we can't necessarily go all in, and this was
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the first time where I felt like we could go
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: all in. Why because if you're hearing from people that
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: know him better, hey, he's going through things all that.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: You don't know what he's going through.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: But what I do know is if you're going through stuff,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you're not then ripping roulette at the casino on a
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Friday night while your team's playing ball.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Like, to me, that's my line.
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know how you guys agreed, Okay, But first
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: of all, the line was when you don't show up
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: and nobody knows where you are, that's that's not yeah,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: and it's not the first time he's done this sure,
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: trust me. Guys in this locker room were like, wtf
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: is to tell Marte? Yep, And that was all they
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: talked about all day. And then they went to Boston.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: I don't think they did very won that series, did they?
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: That one game they got smacked. I think they maybe
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: lost two out of three. They got smacked that one
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: day when he didn't show up.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: All they were worried about is and they're in a
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: playoff hunt. Every game matters for him. And then to
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: have your best player just no show you that's just
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: not cool. Remember they were talking about, Oh, we're gonna
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: trade them. We should trade them. We should trade them,
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: We should trade them, we should trade them. I don't
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: think they can. I think he has ten to five
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: now that he does. Yeah, so guess what now they
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: can't trade them.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they lost that series to Boston two out
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: of three. That first day when he didn't show up,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: they lost eleven to one. It's also beyond that, like
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I was banged up, then he has to jump in
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and play, you know, out in the field, like it
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: affects more than just one game.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Well, especially when you're playing a guy short in today's game.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he didn't show up. And by the way,
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: you know what he should have to do. There should
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: be reporters in front of his locker whenever he were
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: in talking stick resort and say to tell where were you?
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: And make him and have it. He can't say no English,
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I don't speak English. Have an interpreter there
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: and say, could tell I answer the questions where were you?
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: I don't think And if he wants to say I
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: had a personal problem, yeah, fine, but at least he
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: said it instead of having to have Tory LEVELO, Mike
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: cays In, uh, Nolan Arnatto, whoever you want on your
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: team have to answer that question.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: He should have to answer the question.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: All right, let's look at the week. Seekeek helping us out.

• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Philly story.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Roman Anthony Crochet is actually progressing, progressing to be a
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: bullpen guy Crochet.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Like, let's say Yankees Red to bring Crochet.
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: Hopefully pitches on Saturday when I'm in New York.

• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you gers.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Roman Anthony might be back though, because I think he's
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: got maybe a couple more rehab games and then he's gonna.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: By the way, if the Philly stay hot, they could
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: actually end the Mariners this weekend the next games.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they could.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: They could actually end him.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Tough year for Seattle.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Kate Anderson debuted, so you can catch the next Kate
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Anderson game.
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: He pitched.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Well, they I don't want to say they left him
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: in too long, but somebody said, like they barely let
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: him go to like I don't know if he had
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: gone eighty pitches or something. Surprise, he comes up and
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: because he was good for what the first four was scoreless.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: Randy helped him out with the robbery and then started
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: to unrabble.
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but how do you keep how do you not
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: let a guy go more than eighty pitches, Kip, and
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: then you expect him to come up to a Pennant
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: race and throw a hundred.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: He's never done it. That's that's why I just don't understand.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: There's some Dan Wilson decisions right now to Jose Ferrere
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: was pitching too much in a blowout game and they
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: need him badly against all the Philly lefties, and everyone's like,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: why is he still in the game right now? It's
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: a billion to nothing, Like, I don't know, there's some
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: weird stuff going on there.
• 41:05

  Speaker 2: This week, Teammates get tired of answering questions for other people.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: After a certain point one you get tired of talking
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: about stuff that's not about the baseball. So I would
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: I would found was Arizona. I would make him do
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: that too. AJ, are you welcoming him back? If let's
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: say he is going through something?
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: What are is?
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: How is a J. Prazinski the teammate towards him when
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: he if he pulled this and you were his teammate.
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: We're having a cop Okay, so I'm gonna tell this story,
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: and it's not the same because to tell, Marte is
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: obviously a better player than this person.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Two thousand and five, we had Demaso Marte on our team.
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: Okay, him and Ozzie get into it. He kind of
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: refuses to pitch. Ozzy literally took his stuff in Chicago
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: and threw it in the in the tunnel and said,
• 42:26
  Speaker 5: you're off the team. We don't want you ever back.
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Okay. We then flew to Kansas City. Kenny Williams had
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: a meeting with.
• 42:34
  Speaker 5: Ozzy's like, you can't just throw a guy off the
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: team for just because you don't like him.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: Now, DeMarco had hadn't done some stuff that wasn't cool,
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: like kind of didn't show.
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: Up r on time.
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: It was just there was a bunch of stuff that
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: happened and Ozzy was tired of it. And then so
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: Ozzie comes to the players and says, hey, guys, I
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: know I kicked Demaso off the team. You guys have
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: to have a meeting and will you guys welcome.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: I'm back.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: And so we all met in Kansas City. There's a
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: little private in Kansas City, like the laundry room, me Jermaine,
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Kenarko Burley, there's about ten of us in there, and
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: we all look at each other like, yeah, he's pretty good.
• 43:07
  Speaker 5: We need him, so yeah, we'll take him back, right,
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: So we go to Ozzie said we'll take him back. Well,
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: then we go to Minnesota. Were only in Kansasity for
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: like two so I think he missed like two games.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: We go to Minnesota. First day, Demaso's back right, and
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: he had and we're like, we'll have him back on
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: one condition. He has to apologize to everybody on the team.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: And I give him credit in front of the whole team.
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: And this guy didn't speak very good English. He had.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: He's crying five minutes and you could tell it he
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: made a mistake. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I love baseball,
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: I love the White Sogs. Fine, cool, you're back. The
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: difference is this was could tell Marte's choice, not Demassa
• 43:40
  Speaker 5: marteke I kicked off the team. He knew he made
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: a mistake. He came back and apologized. He's at the minimum.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: You got to have a team meeting and apologize to
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: your boys for not showing up. I'm sorry.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: You have to.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Before you step foot on that field again.
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: Now, back in the old days, the veteran will grab
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: you by the shirt and say, hey, we're going outside.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: We're gonna have a man Deman conversation. Doesn't happen fired,
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: probably for the probably for the better, okay, but he's
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: gonna have to apologize to it before he gets in
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: that on that field, in that clubhouse. As soon as
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: he walks through team meeting three o'clock to tell speaking
• 44:11
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, you know whatever, and he's got to mean it,
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: because if he doesn't mean it, guys the whole time
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: be like this freaking guy. Look at this guy. He
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: doesn't care.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Trust me, it happens. I've seen it.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: So playing to what AJ's point is, they're not holding
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: back anymore.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Coaches, players, et cetera.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: So here's Kevin Ginkel, bettering teammate of Martes on the Diamondbacks.
• 44:35
  Speaker 7: It's disappointing. How you know, the things that happened happened.
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: You know, there's really no explanation for it. But you know,
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: we've got thirty some games left here and hopefully we
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: can get him back here and you know, give us
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: a nice little push into the playoffs.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Are you expecting an explanation from him at some point?
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: I think it'd be nice to hear it, for sure.
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: You know, I think a lot of players are kind
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: of frustrated with how how it just happened. But yeah,
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: I think first and foremost it's him getting his knee
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: right and mentally being in a good place to where
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: he can come back and help contribute.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: So you're a top three player on the team, you
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: left the team.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: And did his he hurt before?
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Apparently they I don't know.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: I don't like because I haven't heard anything about me
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: being a problem. Maybe I missed it.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: But whatever to me, Like, let's move forward.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Why are you at a casino on a Friday night
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: in Arizona.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: That's just playing to me, it's icing on the case.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: That's a punch in the face, it is, That's what
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: I'm saying.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Gego, I think summed it up perfectly right there.
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it'd be nice if we heard from them, because
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: apparently they haven't hurt from him either.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: No, no explanation, no nothing. That's the thing. It's just
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: it's a tough. Look.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: It's not like you flew somewhere home or you like,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: there are crazy things that can happen in people's lives,
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: but it's not crazy enough that you can't be out
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: having a good night on a Friday night while your
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: team's playing. That's where you kind of to lose me.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, what's going on? You're not telling us, but
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: you're good enough to go rip roulette.
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: No, I agree, that's where.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: You lose me, because it's true.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: I called me like Scott, there's something so crazy going
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: on like I just need to disappear for a week.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I can come up with a lot of scenario.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: You'll cover it.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But but if I see you at a casino
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: while I'm playing, I mean, you guys are the players.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: You tell me, I don't know how you come up
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: with an excuse on that one.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: You can hear what you can hear it in his
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: tone of voice. The teammates are getting a little bit
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: more pissed. I think, listen, you have all these other
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: guys that have been grinding since spring training with the
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: goal to win a World Series, goal to get to
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, and you're coming into crunch time and you
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: just abandoned them without saying a word. Pretty much, I'm
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: pissed off if I'm a teammate.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: And drey Lavello will cover for almost anything. He even
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: covered him a little bit on this one because he
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: knew would be bad. He's like, you know, you're free
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: to have an evening with your family after your you know,
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: with the rehab team.
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, fine, you want to go to dinner. Yeah, you
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: want to go to a dinner. Cool, don't be don't
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: be seen at a club or casino.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: While the game's happening togularly covered.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: Well, he looks bad yep.
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: To the Al West, positive story, fun story. One of
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the top pitching prospects in the sports. Some would call
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: him the top pitching prospect at the moment. Kate Anderson
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: debuted on Saturday and was really good for four innings.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Randy Roseraina took that game over. He had two armors,
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: including the walk off. They were down.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: That's always cool.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: You're watching a scenario where next pitch could end the
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: game and instead and their team's down a run and
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Randy walks him off. He saved Anderson with the nice robbery.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: The way I thought kan Anderson threw harder than that.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: What was just sitting.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: Seven. I don't think he's one of those, but it's funny.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: I love Lance's the pitchability guy.
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Lance Predasky my boy with the tweet double ninety three
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: point seven, MLBWU ninety three point six, but all his
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: all his inverted break and all that was down because
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: the baseballs are a wee bit different.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Yep, they're different all over, the brown balls, the white balls,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: the minor league balls.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: That's right, yeah, but.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Usually triple A. I thought Triple A and the big
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: leagues are close. But he skipped triple A, didn't.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: He Yes, Triple A and and the bigs are close.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: But then I guess double A is a little bit different,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: so he didn't get the experience.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: So his inverted break, his vertical break is not as
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: good there it is. Here's the tweet.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: I like that the number one prospect or pitching prospect
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: is kind of getting back to pitchability and moving the
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: ball around instead of just one hundred and five.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: I like that me too. And that's really the case
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: with Kate. I mean, he's got four pitches.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: We can't have the same baseball at every level.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Too complicated.
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: It's too hard to make more baseballs.
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: What what's the have a laser to judge fair fount No.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: That's no too much to ask for. You know, we
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: need every stadium those lights. I mean we have him
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: at Disney, we have a universal lighting. See you probably
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: see him on Mars to shoot up off the foul
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: poles straight up.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's too too complicated.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: Did you hear love that one?
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: Did you hear Chris Bassett said about that? We had
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: we covered all this last week. Battle was just like
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: they just don't want to pay for it. He was like,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just being well with you. I'm on the PA.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: They don't want to pay for it. He's like, I'm
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: being very straightforward. It costs money and they just don't
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: want to deal with it. They pay for other stuff.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: Uh, Kate Anderson though good at.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: Ball, Chrys Miller had a couple of good starts.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, well he's hurt. They had another scenario
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: where he's hurt and that happened with cold Emerson.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: See the first picture to lose games by seventeen more
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: or something like that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: Start to oh, anyways, a.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Lot going on.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Hey we're back, and actually today there's Race Tigers. That's
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: one of the games that you can catch on the
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Fox one app. So this is our opportunity. You need
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: to talk about those two races are slipping a little bit.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: They've been in a rut. So they have to look
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: back and say, okay, Yankees are three games back.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: This isn't done yet. This is this division, right.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: And Ryan Bass, who is one of their broadcasters, said
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: when they had the nine to zer road trip, they
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: were two out RBI machines. Lately in their two and
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: seven stretch not so much. Okay, that's the race side
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: of the story. For the Tiger side of the story,
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: they've lost what eight of nine AJ, Yeah that sounds right.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I'll double check it.
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: But Town last week, I just know their record isn't.
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: Good Ajor or Casey Mice, but you're better without them.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Schoogle didn't look good on the weekend.
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: They've lost five in a row.
• 50:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean the Rays listen are great. I mean,
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: tune into Fox wanted to see this game because the
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: Rays are really fun to watch. If you haven't seen

• 54:10
  Speaker 1: got in like a tiny bit of trouble for it
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: in my old job. And then I got over it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: But I was pissed at the time. I was like,
• 54:16

• 54:20

• 54:27
  Speaker 1: was pissed, and I was getting a little too opinionated
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: on at my old job. Yes, and I was getting back.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: I was going back and forth with Victor Rojas, who
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you know, find out, It's not like we were going
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: after each other personally. He was just like he's gonna
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: be in there, like like that's you don't watch ball.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: I was like, no, they're bad.

  Speaker 4: Oh, here we go, we got it here it is
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: by the I'm.
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: Catching, which is unbelievable. So he thinks Joe Creedy caught it.
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: So he stops. Pablo Zuna, picks it up, throws a strike,
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: and Sean Casey then has ruled out. And it was
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: one of the more hilarious things to happen to such
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: a great guy. It seriously watches. He's mad because he
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: thinks they catch it. He's gonna snap. Then he realized, oh,
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: I gotta go, and then he gets thrown out, and
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: then he wants to throw his homet again and he doesn't.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, it was every time I see case
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: that was the left field out.
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: Some grounded out to right fields, not many, but some
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: to left.
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: Seven three, No five seven three because he thought that
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: the third base would caught it, which is, by the way,
• 55:50
  Speaker 5: Michael Harrison, Oh my, Sean, I love you.
