Speaker 1: For me. I grew up playing in the big media,
0:02
Speaker 1: big big market with the Yankees and Mets, and I
0:04
Speaker 1: embraced it. Anytime you played for a team that you
0:07
Speaker 1: expected to win every day, I think that's the best
0:09
Speaker 1: feeling as a player.
0:14
Speaker 2: This is a little look at the Big League live
0:16
Speaker 2: stream from a couple of days ago. The winner, Dylan
0:20
Speaker 2: the chantas now you and him, I tied a j
0:25
Speaker 2: one one.
0:27
Speaker 3: He wishes he was as good as a poker players
0:29
Speaker 3: because he didn't take me out.
0:30
Speaker 4: I took him out. So I'm up.
0:31
Speaker 1: Actually I'm up on him.
0:33
Speaker 2: That is that's an intimidating stand right there.
0:35
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm gonna give Dylan a little hint. If he
0:38
Speaker 3: stands up, that means he's got good cards.
0:41
Speaker 5: He was standing up with six seven. I'm thinking his tail.
0:46
Speaker 5: And the man is always standing up because I played
0:48
Speaker 5: with him yesterday at his table, He's always standing up
0:52
Speaker 5: because the chairs are like he sits down like this,
0:55
Speaker 5: And the one dude was like, do I know that guy?
0:57
Speaker 5: I was like, when he stands up, you're gonna know
0:59
Speaker 5: him and do right next to him, goes. I wasn't
1:01
Speaker 5: going to blow up a spot. That is Dylan Betansas.
1:05
Speaker 5: He was the nastiest dude ever. I wish he ain't
1:08
Speaker 5: never heard his shoulder.
1:10
Speaker 1: That's what he said.
1:10
Speaker 2: That's what the guy said.
1:11
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
1:13
Speaker 2: Well, Dylan's going to join us in about thirty seconds.
1:16
Speaker 2: He's still ripping up the poker tables for the next
1:19
Speaker 2: couple of days here in Vegas. But we'll get into
1:21
Speaker 2: some baseball talk coming up. We're back with the great
1:24
Speaker 2: former closer, super reliever, the whole deal, Dellan Betansas, joining
1:28
Speaker 2: us again on It Till you get to see you, man.
1:30
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you for having me. It feels a
1:31
Speaker 1: lot better as thom since I was able to take.
1:35
Speaker 3: By the way, so when they gave you a gold
1:37
Speaker 3: helmet for winning, they should have given you since you're
1:40
Speaker 3: a picture, they should have given you the helmet that
1:42
Speaker 3: key k Hernandez, where is the picture helmet? Yeah?
1:45
Speaker 1: Right, that that is. That is a sick helmet. I mean,
1:48
Speaker 1: obviously k knows how to stand out, and that helmet
1:53
Speaker 1: makes him Sandu.
1:53
Speaker 2: Would you wear that?
1:55
Speaker 1: No? We about safety to and I struck people up.
2:03
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I was gonna say, I'm looking
2:04
Speaker 5: at all the strikeouts.
2:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, women distract you would it distract you to have
2:08
Speaker 2: that thing on?
2:09
Speaker 4: It has to be light.
2:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, if it's light, I guess, you know, but
2:13
Speaker 1: it just doesn't look good.
2:17
Speaker 4: Someone has to be the first. Yeah, he could have
2:19
Speaker 4: been the first. I guess. He does pitches like every
2:23
Speaker 4: fifth day.
2:23
Speaker 1: So we have got rid of position players trying to pitch.
2:28
Speaker 1: Why it is entertain it's only it's only entertaining for
2:33
Speaker 1: the for the guy actually pitching for the player, and
2:39
Speaker 1: and and but you're getting your ass kicked at that.
2:41
Speaker 4: Point, comes in and closes when they're up, like.
2:44
Speaker 1: You're right, you're right, you're right. Yeah, but you don't
2:46
Speaker 1: like that in the pen, like maybe mercy run rule
2:48
Speaker 1: after seven ten runs. That eliminates some of the position
2:53
Speaker 1: players pitching.
2:54
Speaker 2: The problem is what if it's twelve to in the
2:56
Speaker 2: second inning and you would wait until.
3:00
Speaker 1: Yeah once once concession stand close.
3:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then here's the problem.
3:03
Speaker 3: Then you lose chances of her records and games are different,
3:06
Speaker 3: you know, come.
3:07
Speaker 1: Back at that at that point, if kick Aernandez is
3:12
Speaker 1: coming in.
3:13
Speaker 4: A homer is a homer, I don't count the same. Yes,
3:17
Speaker 4: they do when you go to arbitration.
3:19
Speaker 3: They don't when you're the table arbitration is and you
3:22
Speaker 3: hit two homers off Hernandez, not Delan, but Tanzas.
3:25
Speaker 4: That guy don't know what.
3:25
Speaker 1: That means an arbitration. They'll say whatever it takes, but true,
3:30
Speaker 1: I would. I don't know.
3:31
Speaker 2: Kratz is offended because he's had success.
3:33
Speaker 6: I thought I was helping pitch. I'm coming into like, Hey,
3:37
Speaker 6: you don't got to throw it that you're down. Hater, Hater,
3:40
Speaker 6: you're down, Corey Canabel, You're down. I'm coming in. I'm
3:43
Speaker 6: gonna give you any I thought I was helping to you.
3:45
Speaker 6: Now you just take something else went from me.
3:46
Speaker 1: There's times of pitch when we were winning eleven one,
3:49
Speaker 1: so you didn't want to was like, Dylan, you gotta
3:52
Speaker 1: come in there today. You need some mark the loving.
3:55
Speaker 2: One in the Hey, let's bring that other combo to
3:59
Speaker 2: del Do you think that they should publicize managers and
4:05
Speaker 2: certain front office members in terms of their contracts, just
4:07
Speaker 2: like the players do, so that fans are aware of
4:10
Speaker 2: how long a term is left for someone and even
4:13
Speaker 2: how much they're making. Because we do it for players.
4:16
Speaker 2: They were saying, it's not like a mandatory thing, and
4:19
Speaker 2: it ends up just leaking.
4:21
Speaker 1: Don't you feel it I mean, isn't it public knowledge,
4:24
Speaker 1: like how much CA.
4:25
Speaker 2: There's certain teams that will announce it part of their policy.
4:28
Speaker 2: Most don't, and the numbers come out from the insiders
4:31
Speaker 2: who get them from the agents or a team executive.
4:34
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen the contracts of public manance with players.
4:39
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. Here's the thing.
4:40
Speaker 3: Teams don't want coaches sellers out there because they don't
4:44
Speaker 3: want if your Yankee coach is making two hundred grand
4:48
Speaker 3: and the White Sox coach is making one hundred grand
4:50
Speaker 3: for the same position, and the guy in the White
4:52
Speaker 3: Sox is I want the two hundred grand and the
4:53
Speaker 3: Yankee guys. See, that's why they don't want the coaches
4:56
Speaker 3: sellers out there.
4:56
Speaker 1: You don't think guys are talking. They're not supposed to. Yeah,
5:00
Speaker 1: but they are.
5:01
Speaker 4: But still, but he puts it.
5:03
Speaker 3: Puts more like if you have a really good pitching
5:05
Speaker 3: coach in the White Sox, right, or hitting coach whatever
5:08
Speaker 3: it is, their team's raking, and then the fans are like, well,
5:11
Speaker 3: he only makes a hundred grand, but the Yankees guy
5:13
Speaker 3: and they stink. Is all hypothetical obviously, Yeah, but he's
5:16
Speaker 3: making five hundred thousand. Man we can get this guy
5:18
Speaker 3: for a one hundred and fifty thousand, we need to
5:20
Speaker 3: fire the five hundred thousand guys.
5:21
Speaker 1: I mean that's when, Yeah, Ethan gotta do their due
5:24
Speaker 1: diligence and make sure he ASTs around and make make
5:29
Speaker 1: the deal work for those guys.
5:32
Speaker 2: We're gonna take you through the latest card that I
5:34
Speaker 2: pulled in my Arena club slab pack Aja, And here
5:38
Speaker 2: it is. I pulled a Jared Jones card. So Jared
5:42
Speaker 2: Jones is gonna be out for a minute, but I'm
5:43
Speaker 2: gonna hold onto this one for the long term. He
5:45
Speaker 2: was nasty in his rookie season, greed.
5:49
Speaker 4: This is a great card to pull.
5:50
Speaker 3: It's gonna go up in value once he comes back
5:52
Speaker 3: because this guy dealt in his rookie season, gets punch outs,
5:56
Speaker 3: he gives the innings.
5:57
Speaker 4: Once he's backs good, You're in it for the long term.
6:00
Speaker 3: Don't give up on Jared Jones or this card you
6:02
Speaker 3: got from Marina Club.
6:04
Speaker 2: Yep, there it is. That's how you pull a slab
6:06
Speaker 2: pack card. It's very cool. It's all fancy and digital.
6:09
Speaker 2: You can get it sent to you physically, and if
6:11
Speaker 2: you want to sell it right back to Arena Club,
6:14
Speaker 2: you can do that with their buy back option right away,
6:16
Speaker 2: or you can hold it right now. You can get
6:18
Speaker 2: twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase.
6:21
Speaker 2: Just go to Arena club dot com slash f o
6:23
Speaker 2: U l use code foul. We've been talking about Arena
6:26
Speaker 2: Club all season long because they dominate the hobby. If
6:29
Speaker 2: you buy, sell, trade, collect, go for it. I got
6:33
Speaker 2: one for you. We had Clint Fraser on the show
6:35
Speaker 2: the other day. Let's go Yeah, do you want to
6:38
Speaker 2: get part two of the Jordan's prank story?
6:42
Speaker 1: Did he did? He? Did he say anything back? I
6:45
Speaker 1: actually liked com No, not at all. He said he
6:48
Speaker 1: was pissed at the time, but oh yeah, I don't
6:51
Speaker 1: think he was pissed. But so this was Clint Fraser
6:55
Speaker 1: always asked you remember Clint, Like he always asked for
6:59
Speaker 1: certain stuff. So like he always was, you know, he
7:02
Speaker 1: was speaking his mind, non filter claim right. So I
7:06
Speaker 1: remember he always had his shoe game was unbelievable, Like
7:12
Speaker 1: he had custom air Jordan's like all the time. And
7:18
Speaker 1: his dream was, you know, become a Jordan client. And
7:22
Speaker 1: I forget who it was at the time. I think
7:24
Speaker 1: I said Guardy, you know, Guardi's big parents there and
7:27
Speaker 1: you know, always always get times to guardy. But I
7:29
Speaker 1: think we made this letter from Jordans came from Jordan, right,
7:34
Speaker 1: So put the letter in his in his locker. So
7:39
Speaker 1: when he opens the letter, it says, you know, congratulations Faser,
7:43
Speaker 1: you're part of a Jordan brand. So he he like
7:48
Speaker 1: he lost it, like he bought it.
7:51
Speaker 3: I think if that happened to me, his agent would
7:54
Speaker 3: have already called him and said something or like they're
7:58
Speaker 3: not just going to send you a letter.
7:59
Speaker 4: They would have called you. I mean c phones were around.
8:01
Speaker 4: This isn't like it was like in the eighteen hundreds.
8:03
Speaker 1: Well, I think I was part of the issue. You know,
8:05
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be, you know, a serious guy, nice guy,
8:09
Speaker 1: which I consider myself that. But I let this story on.
8:13
Speaker 1: So Clint Fraser comes to the training room and he's
8:17
Speaker 1: obviously losing his mind. He this was his dream to
8:22
Speaker 1: be with Jordan. Right. He goes, Dylan, man, I just
8:27
Speaker 1: got this letter from Team Jordan, like like this is
8:31
Speaker 1: pretty crazy. I was like, you know what, clim when
8:33
Speaker 1: I got put on, I got that same letter. So
8:36
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, this is real. It's coming from Dylan.
8:38
Speaker 1: Dylan's not playing around. So he told me. I remember
8:42
Speaker 1: he tell me, he told me, I don't think I
8:44
Speaker 1: can play today. I'm gonna go to Aaron Boone and
8:46
Speaker 1: tell him to take me out the line of myself.
8:49
Speaker 1: It's just it'd be all right, like just like it's okay.
8:53
Speaker 2: Like he was freaking out.
8:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was freaking out. Yeah, he was freaking out.
8:57
Speaker 1: He was going to Aaron Bone to take himself out
8:59
Speaker 1: them like, oh, we got a game to play, just play.
9:02
Speaker 1: And we kept this story for about a day. I
9:04
Speaker 1: think his agent he must have reached out to his agent,
9:07
Speaker 1: and his agent probably made the call and you know,
9:11
Speaker 1: obviously we had to tell him it was it was
9:13
Speaker 1: not real. But he was losing his mind. I think
9:15
Speaker 1: he was like he really was going to ask out.
9:17
Speaker 1: He was telling guys like I told you guys, I
9:19
Speaker 1: was going to get on this. I told you guys,
9:21
Speaker 1: But he was.
9:22
Speaker 2: Going to ask out, Like how did he end up playing?
9:24
Speaker 1: Well?
9:24
Speaker 2: Do you remember, I mean.
9:26
Speaker 1: Clint Fraser at the time obviously at the time had
9:31
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's that speed was insane. Like at
9:36
Speaker 1: that time, I don't think he was playing as good.
9:38
Speaker 1: But then I remember, like a year later he was
9:40
Speaker 1: fighting for a spot with Guardian spring training, and then
9:44
Speaker 1: he had I don't know if it was during COVID,
9:46
Speaker 1: he had a really good, really good run where they
9:48
Speaker 1: were like, oh, man, like he got something here, like
9:51
Speaker 1: because you know he was he did, he did he
9:55
Speaker 1: That's why he were the mess. You remember how he
9:57
Speaker 1: was always out.
9:57
Speaker 4: You were, well, you were on the Mets.
9:58
Speaker 1: But that was on the Mets.
10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on the mess during COVID. People are like, wow,
10:02
Speaker 2: he wore the mask outside unnecessary and then he's like, nah,
10:07
Speaker 2: I was wearing a beard.
10:09
Speaker 1: I can't always ask for I'm telling you this would.
10:16
Speaker 2: But as a rookie, this kind of stuff happens.
10:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, Guardy. My favorite Guardy thing.
10:21
Speaker 5: We used to have a smoothie fridge, which me and
10:24
Speaker 5: Guardy thought was the funniest thing ever that like rookies
10:27
Speaker 5: would have their names on smoothies.
10:29
Speaker 1: He's like, they should all be thrown away, Guardy.
10:32
Speaker 5: They would put the strength coach would put the straw
10:35
Speaker 5: in their smoothies, and it was like, you know, not
10:38
Speaker 5: even just rookies, like dudes that were bigly camp that
10:40
Speaker 5: weren't going to make the team. Guardy would go through
10:43
Speaker 5: and he would take the mustard and he would squirt
10:47
Speaker 5: mustard down in their smoothie so you could never see it.
10:50
Speaker 1: And these these rookies would come in there, they smoothie.
10:56
Speaker 4: Guardy was long gone.
10:57
Speaker 1: Guardy was already gone. He was nobody was safe around
11:02
Speaker 1: guard He probably one of the better, better team myself had.
11:05
Speaker 1: But yes, big parents, for sure. Yeah.
11:09
Speaker 2: My one other follow up to this is you got
11:11
Speaker 2: a letter from a company that says, congrats you're a client.
11:15
Speaker 2: I don't even know the terms.
11:16
Speaker 1: I don't know.
11:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
11:18
Speaker 2: We got even money. It could be like and we
11:20
Speaker 2: own all the rights to your ni L forever. Like
11:24
Speaker 2: there has to be further.
11:26
Speaker 3: Didn't he get cut from Nike because he was making
11:28
Speaker 3: fake shoes? Wasn't he a knife for well, they were
11:32
Speaker 3: real shoes Nike. There was a thing where Nike guy
11:34
Speaker 3: started doing this and Nike was cutting them because he
11:37
Speaker 3: wasn't safe because they were putting their shoes on the
11:39
Speaker 3: cleats on shoes that weren't meant to have cleats on,
11:42
Speaker 3: and they were worried about someone hurting an ankle or
11:43
Speaker 3: a leg.
11:44
Speaker 1: And then they're like, he didn't he didn't care about
11:47
Speaker 1: that as long as he looks like he wanted to look.
11:53
Speaker 1: I think he was worried more about his apparel than
11:56
Speaker 1: playing that time, and that probably got it. Yeah yeah,
12:00
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean he looked good though his shoot
12:03
Speaker 1: game was good. He has some nice custom pleats for sure.
12:07
Speaker 2: He might make for a good broadcaster personality. We had
12:09
Speaker 2: him on yours.
12:11
Speaker 1: He's not filtered. He's non filtered. Cliff Rade will let you,
12:14
Speaker 1: let you have that's what you want? Yeah, you want that?
12:17
Speaker 2: What do you got for us on this season? What
12:19
Speaker 2: stands out? Are you watching a lot of Yanks.
12:21
Speaker 3: Or just let's just start it right now? What the
12:23
Speaker 3: heck's roll of the Yankees and the Mets, both your teams.
12:26
Speaker 1: I know that if we were just talking. I was
12:28
Speaker 1: talking to Allie about that. She's a big mess fan
12:32
Speaker 1: obviously from MGM. But both teams at the same time
12:38
Speaker 1: are playing like they're you know, they started off really good.
12:43
Speaker 1: Both teams were in first and then all of a sudden,
12:46
Speaker 1: you know, for the match, the starting pitching hasn't been
12:48
Speaker 1: as good as they wanted. They had big injuries with
12:51
Speaker 1: Cannon and Senga, and the Yankees they just stop hitting
12:55
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. I remember covering the k C
12:57
Speaker 1: game and they score. First couple of games they score
12:59
Speaker 1: like ten runs, eight runs. Then after that, I kid
13:03
Speaker 1: you now, like they went one run and then they
13:06
Speaker 1: went to Boston and the Bats went complete silence. Bullpen's
13:11
Speaker 1: been struggling last couple, like last couple of weeks. I
13:14
Speaker 1: think both teams hit a rough patch. But you know
13:16
Speaker 1: that's a long season. You play one hundred and sixty two.
13:19
Speaker 1: Good thing that they started off so well that they
13:22
Speaker 1: could kind of withstand some of this, but you know
13:26
Speaker 1: it helps that the break is coming, and then you
13:28
Speaker 1: have to trade deadline, so now you know it's like
13:30
Speaker 1: you can't just stand pass. You got to make something happen,
13:33
Speaker 1: whether it's getting a starting pitcher for the Yankees or
13:36
Speaker 1: maybe adding some relief death in the bullpen for the Yankees,
13:41
Speaker 1: starting for the Mets, And you know kind of figure
13:44
Speaker 1: that part out.
13:44
Speaker 5: Is there a time of the year, because you played
13:46
Speaker 5: for both New York teams, is there a time.
13:48
Speaker 4: Of year where you're like.
13:51
Speaker 5: The New York media, the New York pressure gets to
13:55
Speaker 5: you more because you see, because you said, you see
13:57
Speaker 5: the All Star break coming. If either of these teams
13:59
Speaker 5: are get you all start breaking they got a lot
14:01
Speaker 5: of games to go to, you know, even fall more
14:05
Speaker 5: if they're waiting for that.
14:06
Speaker 4: But is there a time of year where you're.
14:07
Speaker 5: Like, like this time of year in New York, it's
14:10
Speaker 5: getting hot, the media starts really getting on.
14:13
Speaker 4: You know, this bugs me a little bit more.
14:16
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, when when you're not playing as good, Uh,
14:20
Speaker 1: you know that feeling in the clubhouse. Uh, at times
14:25
Speaker 1: it's not as enjoyable, but but you know, it's what
14:29
Speaker 1: is expected. Right for me, I grew up playing in
14:31
Speaker 1: a big media place, a big, big market with the
14:35
Speaker 1: Yankees and Mets, and I embraced it. Anytime you play
14:39
Speaker 1: for a team that you expected to win every day,
14:42
Speaker 1: I think that's the best feeling as a player. I've
14:45
Speaker 1: told people like, sometimes it sucks if you play for
14:47
Speaker 1: a team that you know, you have no expectations, right, Like,
14:52
Speaker 1: you don't want to be in that clubhouse. I think
14:54
Speaker 1: the Yankees, I mean, obviously they've been struggling, but they're
14:56
Speaker 1: still in first place, and I think it makes for
14:59
Speaker 1: good baseball when the division is kind of creeping up
15:01
Speaker 1: on you. I think a lot of people, you know,
15:05
Speaker 1: obviously not in New York, they want as much distance
15:07
Speaker 1: as you want, but as a baseball fan, you you
15:09
Speaker 1: want you want some of that. You want that closeness
15:12
Speaker 1: going down.
15:14
Speaker 3: I mean, as someone that grew up in the area,
15:15
Speaker 3: you're you have friends and family that are probably Yankee
15:18
Speaker 3: fans right there, they're panicking a little bit.
15:20
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because they had a big lead.
15:22
Speaker 3: It's down to a game, game and a half over
15:24
Speaker 3: the two teams. I mean, they're they've been basically caught.
15:28
Speaker 3: I mean, there's gotta be I know, you're like, oh,
15:30
Speaker 3: it's great as a player the other but as a fan,
15:33
Speaker 3: the fans and the Yankee Yankee fandom are like, oh.
15:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, second, Yankee fans are definitely you know, any any
15:39
Speaker 1: loss for them is a big deal. So they're definitely panicking.
15:44
Speaker 1: You know, they want some moves. So but in a
15:49
Speaker 1: long season, you go through these things, right. But obviously
15:52
Speaker 1: as a fan, if you can have a big the
15:55
Speaker 1: big of the lead, that's just more comfortable you feel.
15:57
Speaker 1: But you know, it just shows you maybe you have
15:59
Speaker 1: to make big move here to make sure that for
16:02
Speaker 1: the Yankees they can get back to that that promised land,
16:04
Speaker 1: which is the World Service.
16:06
Speaker 5: All right, discussion we had yesterday and I will tell
16:09
Speaker 5: you whose side anybody was on first half MVP, Aaron
16:13
Speaker 5: Judge or cal Rally and then who wins the MVP
16:16
Speaker 5: to finish the season.
16:18
Speaker 1: So for me, obviously Homer, I I you know, Homer,
16:23
Speaker 1: you didn't even say the end said. You know. For me,
16:27
Speaker 1: I think what Kyle Rawley has done hasn't been done,
16:30
Speaker 1: so that shows a lot. So if I was to
16:33
Speaker 1: get a first half MVP, I'll probably give it a
16:35
Speaker 1: Kyle Raley. Obviously. For me, Aaron Judge, what he's doing,
16:40
Speaker 1: he just gets better every year, so that in itself
16:43
Speaker 1: is impressive. And obviously he's his average has dipped down,
16:47
Speaker 1: but he was heading over before and he's still heading
16:49
Speaker 1: three fifty right, Like what he's done every year has
16:52
Speaker 1: been pretty impressive. But you know, we've seen Aaron Judge
16:59
Speaker 1: forward with Aaron Judge. No, no, we've seen Aaron Judge
17:02
Speaker 1: phenomenal season before and this year is even a step above.
17:05
Speaker 1: But Kyle Raley, like thirty three home runs by by
17:09
Speaker 1: not even to break yet, Like I mean, come on, man,
17:12
Speaker 1: like you know you got to give credit where it's due.
17:14
Speaker 1: I mean, Judge is my guy, and he's probably gonna
17:16
Speaker 1: hear this and give me some slack, but you're not
17:19
Speaker 1: just being honest, Like I think is a close. It's close,
17:22
Speaker 1: but you know, if I was the vote, I'll probably
17:25
Speaker 1: put before you get.
17:27
Speaker 2: That's a good way to put it though, because we've
17:29
Speaker 2: never seen this before as a historic cason, right, doesn't
17:32
Speaker 2: that put things to take context for you? No catcher
17:35
Speaker 2: has ever done this ever? So how much better? Like
17:37
Speaker 2: what more do you want from the catcher?
17:39
Speaker 4: Are you not entertained?
17:40
Speaker 1: Right? That's that's that's exactly for me. Is a historic season, right,
17:45
Speaker 1: Like we're kind of seeing what Kyle Raley's do is
17:48
Speaker 1: what we've seen growing up, like the big like Mike
17:50
Speaker 1: Piazza catch and you know, the Evon Rodriguez guy's showing
17:55
Speaker 1: a lot of power, like we haven't seen that in
17:57
Speaker 1: years past, like that, And I mean, you know, that's
18:00
Speaker 1: why what he's doing right now, Like I think areon
18:03
Speaker 1: judge the second half, he's gonna he's gonna hit a
18:08
Speaker 1: lot of home runs, so I think he'll put him behind.
18:10
Speaker 1: But right now, I'll give it a car up.
18:13
Speaker 3: By the way, I know you got to go to
18:14
Speaker 3: get poker. Are you able to? Is the reason that
18:17
Speaker 3: you haven't done your best at poker is because you're
18:19
Speaker 3: sore from pitching at rick Wood. What was it a
18:21
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, and you had.
18:22
Speaker 4: To throw it in and you can't get all the
18:24
Speaker 4: way in there to get your chips out.
18:26
Speaker 1: I tell you what, man, that that that was probably
18:28
Speaker 1: one of the best experience I've had. I had three years,
18:31
Speaker 1: three years without picking up a baseball. But my goal
18:33
Speaker 1: was to face see why Chris Young, he's been talking
18:37
Speaker 1: a lot of smack for the past year or two.
18:39
Speaker 1: I said, look, if I get the chance to face
18:41
Speaker 1: you in one of these uh East West Classic, I'm
18:45
Speaker 1: striking you out. So I struck him out, so I
18:48
Speaker 1: got you know that was on him? Yes, but my
18:54
Speaker 1: should I kill you? Now? Every through every pitch I made,
18:57
Speaker 1: my shoulder was killing me. Don't pick up a baseball
19:01
Speaker 1: for three years and think it's gonna work. I'll tell
19:03
Speaker 1: you why I was around the plate. Man. I probably
19:05
Speaker 1: threw more strikes than you.
19:07
Speaker 4: Can always you can always throw breaking ball for a strike.
19:10
Speaker 4: The fastball was with some kind.
19:11
Speaker 1: Of got it okay. Sometimes you throw it up and
19:14
Speaker 1: then you gotta get the hitters. How fast you I
19:19
Speaker 1: probably no more than eighty five. They didn't have the radar.
19:23
Speaker 1: Thank god, I would have been embarrassed. Maybe. I think
19:27
Speaker 1: if I train, if I trained, I could throw over
19:29
Speaker 1: ninety for sure. Like when I starpped playing, I was
19:32
Speaker 1: ninety two. You know ninety three. That don't work no more.
19:36
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, unless you're spotting up. And
19:40
Speaker 1: I wasn't gregmatics out there. I was coming out well down.
19:45
Speaker 2: Good to see you man, good luck, Thank you guys.
19:48
Speaker 1: We got we gotta win one so we can, like
19:51
Speaker 1: I think, bragging rights, right, we can't just keep coming here.
19:54
Speaker 1: I mean obviously dominated dominated entries. No, I mean we go.
20:00
Speaker 5: You can have a trophy that we can show show
20:02
Speaker 5: I think, so I need a bracelet.
20:04
Speaker 4: Forget a trophy.
20:04
Speaker 1: Ye, bracelet, give me a bracelet. Yeah that helmet, that
20:08
Speaker 1: helmet was cool, but it didn't it didn't flit my head.
20:10
Speaker 5: Make sure let me watch the show trophy online trophy.
20:19
Speaker 1: I've won multiple first place on I need live baby.
20:24
Speaker 1: You know what yesterday first place.
20:27
Speaker 4: That's the way you get a trophy.
20:28
Speaker 1: This is what's gonna take me over the edge. Because
20:30
Speaker 1: yesterday there was a hand that I was playing, and
20:33
Speaker 1: I knew at the time I shouldn't go, so hard
20:36
Speaker 1: and I went super hard. It's like when you're you're
20:39
Speaker 1: thinking and crashcos that I think we should throw fast
20:42
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, the curveball works here. And I
20:44
Speaker 1: throw fast one I give up a home line and
20:46
Speaker 1: I knew I should have not thrown that picture. And
20:48
Speaker 1: that's what happened to me yesterday and lost. Well, good luck, dude,
20:53
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. I appreciate you, guys,
