• 1:39
  Speaker 2: That's why to mayor, I'm not.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not arguing that, but to say nightmare nightmare like,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it feels like I have to do something different with
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: my with my tongue and my vocabulary ears.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: I have this issue at home. So my girl says

• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Tournament's fine, tournament.

  Speaker 1: Tournament. It's not a tournament. It's a tournament.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Tournament.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Kids want to play in a baseball tournament.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fine, tournament.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's much there nightmare versus nightmare is
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: definitely a problem, is a nightmare.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: We all have things that we do. Yeah, it's all
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: about where you're from. It's all good.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's all good.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: It was just funny when obviously Todd Father was losing
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: his mind.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He was like, out of all the people on on
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this show that should talk about the way things are said,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Tod's probably the last on.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: A total Godfather has perfect American English.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Here's a Tom's River perfect.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: How you doing American English? I got a little bit
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: of that too. Actually it comes out when I'm sitting
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: next to him. Sometimes it brings me back to my
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: high school days. Anyway, let's get to some controversy ish
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: and charge them out.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Charge them out.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So when a team goes through struggles, they'll blame things
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: on someone. Often it's the hitting coach, if not the manager.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: The Braves are struggling, they're more towards the bottom than
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the top. And the move they made was essentially firing
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: third base coach Matt Tuiasosopo from his job. He's been
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: reassigned and Freddy Gonzalez replaces him. Freddy Gonzalez was the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: former manager of the Braves.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: They let him go.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Brian Snicker took over as the inter or a manager,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and how did that go?
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I was there. I know how exactly how it went.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I was on the team the year that Schmid took
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: over and Freddie got fired. We were in Pittsburgh. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: think I saw the voicemail from Freddy and called me
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and told me he was let go. It was like
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: early in the morning. It was like nine and eight
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. He called me. We flew in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: from somewhere the night before and we played a game, lost,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and we were terrible. At sixteen, that was here we
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: started going nine. It wasn't Freddy's fault. He just born
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: very good.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: But then Snicker takes over, Nicker takes over, wins the.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: World Series been there forever. But now they're bringing Freddy back,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: which listen, I'm happy for Freddy because he got a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: raw deal in Baltimore. He got fired in Baltimore for
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: being the bench coach. I was fault. They couldn't bitch again.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: M hm.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: So. And then he was was the umpire. He was
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: doing some of the umpires. I don't know what he was.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He told me he's doing some of the umpires.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he coaching at a school too.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because he lives in Philly. He talked to me.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He came to one of our scrimmage games and uh
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: before the season started, so two months ago, yeah, he
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: said he was. He lives right outside of where I'm
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: at right now, like twenty five minutes, and he was
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: helping at a school. He was helping at different stuff.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: But he was doing stuff with the umpires. I'm like,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you're evaluating umpires. I was like, they're letting you do that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He's like, it's not really evaluating umpires, but it's just
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: kind of kind of something to stay in the game.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He was he was blindsided by the Orioles thing that was.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: That was tough. But I think him and Snit are boys. No, yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I mean they knew each other.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: It was just weird.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It was a weird thing when Freddy got fired because
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Snit took over right and they literally I remember they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: were like, well, we didn't know who to hire to
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: take over, because they wanted Terry Pendleton, I think, to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: take over, but Terry said no, and so they went
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: to Snid said snin Stick said, only do it if
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Terry is one of my is my bench coach. I
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: think TP became the bench coach, Eddie Perez went to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: first base. I think everyone else stayed the same. Carlos Tosca,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the bench coach, got fired with Freddy because they were,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you know, they were considered to be like this, they're buddies.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So if Terry Pendleton takes the job, he was number
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: one than.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: So I think now I don't know exactly, Okay, how
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it happened exactly. I remember hearing that that they said
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they had a hard time because I thought they said
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: they wanted TP to take over, but they were just
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: thinking a TP would take over for that year, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: then Snick came in and took over, and then they
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: signed him to a long term deal and then he's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: been there ever since.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it worked out really well.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I remember Snid said he would not take the job
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: unless TP was his bench coach, and TV said.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Okay, wow, Todd father and I are from Jersey, so
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: we're used to oh I got a guy, But sometimes
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that just means when I'm looking for a car, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: go to car gurus.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think, honestly the best part about this communication,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: which we love here in Jersey where we're from, and
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: this is a place where you can get a car.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: The price drops all the time, and they let you know.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: They let you know when your car is ready and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: when you can get it. The communication part is the
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: best thing for.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Me, Scott agreed in depth vehicle reviews. Car grew will
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: connect you with trusted dealerships when you're ready, insuring and
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: transparent and hassle free buying process. With over four million listings,
• 7:07

  Speaker 3: gurus dot com to make sure your big deal is
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: the best deal that's c r g r us dot com,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: car gurus dot com. Okay, so here's the reason for
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: the firing, I mean whatever you want to call it,
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: reassignment to a minor league infield coordinator job.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You got fired from the third base coach.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Job, which you never hear of. The third base coach
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is usually last on the firing list.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: So then let me know if this tracks.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Alexanthopolis is usually really straightforward and good on interviews, said quote.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: There's been some aggressive sens and that's part of the job.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: But the results from my standpoint, and in talking to
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Brian Snicker, he understood and he ultimately agreed, I felt
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: like we could do better.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: How did you feel like you could do better?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Were you evaluating other third base coaches? Does this bring
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Freddie out to the field and is he worried? Like
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: is he worried that guys are guys are being sent
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Like Okay, well, you know the other guy got fired.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I don't want to fight. I don't want to send him. Fortunately,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Freddie's way more experienced than that, and Freddie probably isn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: worried about losing his job. But I don't know. I
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: feel like I feel like there's something that we don't
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: know because Matt Matt was I mean, he was this
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: guy over there. And I haven't watched enough Braves games
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to say there's too many aggressive sins. But I feel
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: like maybe this is not his fault and more of
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a Hey, the team's not winning, so who else could
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we fired? That doesn't make sense to me. The reason
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: they said what they said is doesn't make any sense.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're having a hard time, uh scoring runs,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: so he's being aggressive? I mean, wave him home window.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Kim Joey Kora waved home everybody when he was a
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: third base coach. I mean, we had Jeff Cox who
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: didn't even know if he was sending you. Sometimes he
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: was so great he was laughing and talking to you,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: but he's like, do you go to your stay? I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: don't know what you mean. I don't know.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: No, he's decided yourself.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty much. But no, I mean, listen, the third
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: base coach. The third base coach doesn't have to make
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of decisions other than when to send guys.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, most of the time, as a base runner,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you should know whether you go first to third way.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: You have a pretty good idea.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You should.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Now, not all guys do, but most of the time
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you have an idea when you're gonna score and when
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: you're not. You should know your own speed, know the outfitters,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: know your third base coach.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But whatever, So I have two questions.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Say that Scott like the other thing too, what Aj said.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He kind of glazed over. They're struggling to score runs.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: They're all so not a lineup that has seven all
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: stars in it. Right now, You're going to be more
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: aggressive because you're like as a third base coach, You're like,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know if the next guy can get it done.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Like you're watching the game, You're watching how guys are
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: gonna face. You know, the pitcher that's out on the mound, Okay,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe there's a bed right on the right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Matchup that's coming up, the guy that's coming up to hit,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna send him here. We're going to maybe take
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: more of a chance. If you're just a team that mashes,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you don't ever get anybody thrown out the plate, and
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you're super super passive at third base because it's like, well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the next guy is probably gonna get a hit because
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: we rake. Although the Yankees fired Phil Nevin, remember Phil
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Nevian took the follow that one year he sent a
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: guy from third It was it was a bang. They
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: weren't scoring any runs. He sent a guy aggressive league.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I forget who was maybe Glabor Torres got thrown out
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of the play They fired him the next offseason. He
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: was like the scapegoat. Oh, he didn't win because Aaron
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: or because Phil Nevin sent the guy and it wasn't
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I agreed with the sin. It was in the playoffs,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: and I don't know what they lost to somebody obviously,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: but I mean it's not it's not the third base
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: coach as well. Once they're base coaches have another role
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on the team. Whatever that role is infield, outfield, camaraderie, guy,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, whatever you want to call it. But I
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: mean third base coach gives signs that the manager gives them.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: But so all and he has to listen. They have
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to make split second decisions. But most of them are
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: pretty good at it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: So is this a team forcing something? Just try themselves.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I think they're just trying something, send a wake up
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: call whatever. I don't know in this article that I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: find interesting, Snitt said, what did Snith say that? You
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: know he saw it? And he Snit agreed. What's Snick
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: gonna say? No, snit's in a contract year. Let's not
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: forget Snick wants to get that one more year to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: get to fifty in the organization, fifty years. Like he's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not going to argue with Alan? What's he what can
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: he say?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: No, let's not. Because here's the thing. I know managers
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: for a factive that I've played for and ended up
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: losing their job say I'm not going because they'll come
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to him say, listen, if you don't fire this person,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: then you're going with him. And I know managers have
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: said I'm gone, and I've seen it happen, right, So
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I guarantee if Snitt wasn't like they went him and said, hey,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we're gonna fire two. Yes, Soapo Matt. But snow it's
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Snick gonna say no, like, don't do that. They're gonna
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: be like, okay, well we'll get rid of you and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: we'll bring Freddy Gonzalez back to finish the rest of
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the years. The manager like, what, what, what's he gonna say?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Of course, he agrees, he has to. He's in a
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: free he's his free agent year.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: He also doesn't have the final say, like he's the
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: manager exactly.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: He has bosses, he has what three used to be
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: the manager.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Listen, the manager used to be the boss, and the
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: manager pretty much ran every organization. Now the GM was there,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: but the manager ultimately made the decision who played, who
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: didn't play, who was on his team, who wasn't on
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: his team, and the GM brought players in. The would
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: talk about it. The roles are reverse. Now it's the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: GM and the President of baseball. They make all the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: decisions now, and the manager just has to kind of say, okay,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: make them work a lot of times now. The ones
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: that are good at it, they work with their front
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: office people. The ones that aren't are the ones that
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you see always complaining and fighting and not working.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Right, Braves are twenty seven and thirty one. They're a
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: half game worse than the Nationals right now. They're ten
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: games away from the Phillies and the Mets.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It seems like a tall task for.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Them to try and climb back into the division wild
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: card though.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, if they get it and are healthy, do you
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: want to face sales strider.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Schwellenbachkun is looking good?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to face that lineup in
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a three game wild card series? Nope, and you get
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: sales strider Schwellenbach.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: They just don't want to get too off the mark
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: right now. Also, they started zho and seven, they haven't
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: gone on a great, great run.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: They got back to five hundred, which yeah, and then they.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Fell back a little. But like, I don't know, I'm.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Not that worried, but okay, it's it's an interesting story.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: The Mets are calling up Ronnie Mauricio ahead of Tuesday's game,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: Mark Bianos hamstring injury. I l and I saw him
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: not head to first, trying to remember it's late in
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the game, and you're like, wait, where's Bientos And out
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: of the box he yanked it, so he's gonna miss
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: some time.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: But by the way, can we discuss that. Are we
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: worried about Tanner Scott?
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You know, think it's just a rough patch.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: He's throwing four and a half ra Yeah, he's been
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: giving it up every time I look at the box
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: score for the Dodgers's it hasn't been good.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Basketball command issue.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Then he's using more sliders than usual, so I'm wondering
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: if that's.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: He used to be a one. He used to just
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: throw heaters up in the zone and nobody could get
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Right, So do you think that he just lost his command?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's a bil issue.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Nolo's there. I don't know. I'm just I'm just is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it time to worry about him? I don't know. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: feel like it's just a run. He blew a couple saves,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: but they also brought him in in some games where
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they weren't safe situations and he gave it up. Gave
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: it up a little bit. I don't know. I don't
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: know if there's like a feeling comfortable as the closer
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. Hey, you're not the closer, but you
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: are the closer. Is there something to do with that?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Like that kind of dodgers undefined role thing?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Ft FAM.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: You might have a boring, old, crusty, unpretty razor and
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: it might be expensive, so AJ should they consider another option?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Look how cool this is? Look at the color scheme,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Look at it little sheath, what hide the blades when
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: you travel? Works great? I mean using this for a
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks now with Harry's Clean, no bumps, no cuts,
• 15:49

  Speaker 3: trial set. You know, Harry's is so good that they
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: were even able to shave most of the fans off
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: of the photo down in Miami.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Did you see that? They basically shaved it? Crats is
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: horrible mustard that's gone too. Did you see this, Kratz?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Most of the fans are shaved off here. It's almost
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a clean shave.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I want to recount. I want to recount. Shocker, it's Florida.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I need a recount. No way, whoever whoever got that
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: count did not go around like we used to do
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in the Florida State League games and count how many
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: people were in the game opening opening pitch, first pitch
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of the game. No way, I'm going for a recount.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going for challenge system comes back. We're taking the under.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Forget all that. When I played in the Metrodome, we
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: used to do that because there was that few people.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: We played the Orioles one time and they were seriously
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I remember we were like one, two, you sit down,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: don't go up and get a hot dog, four, five, six, seven.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: How far do you think you got.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: We got into the hundreds and it was that's it,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and there wasn't anymore. I'm telling you back in the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: day we played like it. There were some ten am
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: games we played because of football.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: There was more staff than than fans.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: We played some noon games in the Metronome against some
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: bad teams and we weren't very good and it was bad.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: And if there was three thousand people, I would have
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: been shocked.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: We caught this little bit of news in David O'Brien's notebook.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Stephen from Hammer Territory Our Brave Show said, I'm sorry,
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Marcela Zuna has a ear in his hip.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: That feels like news.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: He said in that little note calm the quote, I
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: don't want to rotate because my hip is shut down.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: So are you guys alarmed by that?
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Or Marcela Zoon is a DH with a nine hundred
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: plus ops and we're good confused.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: No one knows about this.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Snuck in the notes. It wasn't very elaborate with the description, and.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Wish you had Dave O'Brien on and ask him he's.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Got an open invite, text him he's got an open.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Anyone else's reporting this, Bowman's are reporting.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Us text him.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Text Bowman be like, does Marcelo Zuna have a tear
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: in his hip? And also, if so, I'll take a
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: tear in my hip with a four to twenty seven
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: on base and ops plus, he's been pretty good, Kratz.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: If you look at the body of work for the
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: first two and a half months, I.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Would love to see what the trainers have to say
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: about this, because they talk about all like, hey, don't
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: tell anybody this, tell okay, this is fine. All of
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a sudden, he's just like, well, you know what, got
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: a little tear in my hip? I was, I was
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: on pace to you know, the MVP of the team
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: last year. I'll just take my nine hundred ops with
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: my tear and my hip. I don't know. Some guys
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: are just better than others.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, put our investigators on the case. Whoever wants
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: to text dB or Bowman, let's say better than box scores.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: The attention was from this weekend with the World Series
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: rematch and the Yankees taking on the Dodgers. This is
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: a really strong second place, Kratz. The NLCS rematch between
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the Mets and the Dodgers it's a four game series,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: and it was off to a bang and start. Dustin
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: May gave up i think a second pitch homer to
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Francisco Lindor, but then pitched really well. Paul Blackburn put
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: on a clinic. Dude's got six to seven pitches and
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: pitched really well against Otani. This went ten. Mets won
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: by a run in ten innings. They've beaten the Dodgers
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: in three of four meetings so far this season. I
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: feel like there's a lot to unpack here. We touched
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: on Tanner Scott already and if he's okay. He actually
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: talked about fastball command issues after the game, but also
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: Edwin Diaz with his first blown save of the year
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: that came in the bottom of the ninth and I
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: know you'll like this, Kratz. So the Dodgers do a
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: lot of promos. Yesterday was Tommy Edmund babblehead Day. I
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: felt like every time he came up, it was like
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: the most critical point in the game and you're just thinking, oh,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: here comes the Hollywood script. And he came through on
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: one of those abs. But for the most part, obviously
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: the Mets pitched him pretty well, including the last out
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: of the game a comebacker to Jose Bhutto.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: What did you think I.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Mean, that could have been a base hit to end
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the game of Buddha doesn't if Buddha doesn't feel that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, this had everything. This had the drama of
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Otani almost going Apo. Yes, I got you got the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: game tying sack fly, but the fact that Diaz was
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: in there, and I mean, that isn't that what we want?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: We want the marquee matchups. We talk all the time
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: about the starting pitchers. We don't We rarely get the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: starting pitcher marquee matchups because of bullpen games and all
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: this stuff. But the closer for your team that has
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: not blown a save, the best best record in the
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: National League. I think the Mets had the best record
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: going into the game, going and going up against Otani,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: who was hotter than he was last year and he's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the MVP, Like that's what you want. It was the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: drama of the fact that it almost dunked right over
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: that short little left I mean, right down the left
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: field line there in Dodger Stadium. It was. It was
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: awesome back and forth.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Confirmed Mets do have the best record. Andy Fletcher at
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: one point stole the show. There was a pitch down
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the middle, completely down the middle. It was in the
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: lower quadrant there, it is towards the top of it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Everyone's like, what.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: This is. I'm gonna I'm gonna try to make sure
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: we stay on topic here. But this is exactly what
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I think sometimes the framing people get wrong. I get it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Francisco was looking to try to get you know, try
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to decman. You know, maybe they were sending signs in that,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: hey we want to we want the fastball up right here.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: He was doing that. But the more you move around
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: back there, there is a chance that the umpire can
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: miss the call because they're human. He shouldn't have missed
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: this call. If you watch him the highlight. Alvarez, Yeah,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: he's up. He's trying to show, you know, hey, we're
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna call fastball up here. And then they
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: wanted it I assume they wanted it down and DS
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: threw a right down the middle. Andy Fletcher again we
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: talked about it is set up essentially underneath Otani's elbow.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Why is he not over the middle of the plate
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: because they're afraid of concussions, Like to me, to me,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you can help these umpires out by being like, hey,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: we saw your setup was a little off, and you
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: won't miss this. And Andy's Andy's had a week. He's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: umpire of the week so far this week. Yes, but
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: they all set up on the inside shoulders, so that's
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: nothing new. They're always too much. Why does it matter
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: how the catcher sets up or where he puts his glove,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Like the ball is being thrown in a certain spot.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I never understood that when umpires would say you didn't
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: catch that one very well? What doesn't matter was right
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: down the middle, like it should be a strike. Also
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: in the borderline ones, I understand like that, but like
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that ball is that's a strike a hundred out of
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred. It should be a million out of a million.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Ball center cut, thigh high.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Also, a lot of catchers set up late.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they all nobody gives a target. They all
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: give targets down in the dirt. So him going like this,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I have nothing to do with anything.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: That pitch was bold too. That's in the nitro zone
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: for a tiny where he was.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Thinking he's getting a slider.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but that that messes up the whole a b right.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I mean if you're behind the plate. Doesn't that screw
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: things up? There's a difference.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Listen, if they miss it with two strikes, I get
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: a little more angry because then it changes then the
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: bats over. When they miss it with oh no, you're like, okay,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you're a little bit angry. But then he'd wait to
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: see how they had bad plays out Like I used
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: to wait till if the guy got out, like Otani
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: did get Ali, but he did hit the sack fly.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: You're like, you know if he would have got a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: hit or hit a home run right there, and then
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you're then I'm.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Like, full will go right like that doubts you.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: There are many times where we go miss a call
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and I'd be like, that hits on you, like you
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: let him get another pitch, that's your fault. I fall
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: threw a bad pitch. I'm like, well, already struck him
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: out twice.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: He missed the tip too.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Don't you hear that you missed a.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Foul and Francisco missed it too. Francisco ran after it,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: So you know, the noise isn't always the same. I'm
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: not trying to be an apologist for Andy Fletcher, but
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Francisco ran after it. Francisco doesn't run after it like
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the one the other year. Last year, Jonaheim think he
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't Like the ninth inning, he was like, he didn't
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: even go after the ball because he knew it tipped.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And I'm not sure who missed it. Chad Fairchild may
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: have missed it. So guys miss it. But Alvarez, you know,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: he confirmed he confirmed what Andy Fletcher didn't hear.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, So one more piece of the puzzle. I want
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to go to the tenth.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Mets score twice, including Starling Marte coming in to replace
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Alvarez as a pinch runner and then Lindor brings him
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: home right, so they have a two run advantage.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: We had to the bottom of the tent.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Jose Castillo on the mound for the Mets never picked
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: up a saving his life still hasn't because Budo replaced him.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Eventually looked like he he was ol shook or just
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: wasn't locating well. He walked Freddy and then Pajes handled
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: a sinker for an RBI knock, made it four to
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: three right.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Monty steps in and.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I think on both broadcasts that were like, oh this
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: this could be a spot for Will Smith because Will
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Smith ended up coming in for the next AB and
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Castill can't get taken out yet because you have the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: three batter minimum rule. So a lot of people on
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: social that are watching too are like, hey, this is
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: probably that time. Will Smith is a four to sixty
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: eight hitter in forty seven abs with runners in scoring position,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: and during last night's game, he is the hottest hitter
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: in clutch spots in baseball this year, and he's ready
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: to go, like he was told he's gonna pinch hit
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: and he did next AB. Do you think they just
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: made a mistake there, because then they even let Comporto
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: dig in, I mean, you know, step up, and then
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: he replaced him. But do you think that Doc was
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: considering putting Smith in for Munsie. Comporto's hitting lefties well
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: this year once he's been hot too. Yeah, right, but
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: he's he's actually been weird with splits. He's hitting lefties
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: much better than righty's. So you think Doc's just like, Hey,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Moncey's my guy. I want to let him hit because
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: he's on fire right now.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe the numbers in his card didn't say to it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just never know. If they have a consistent track,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: we're doing something, you can go with it. But you know,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: they pick up these cards and they're like, oh what
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: does this card say? Oh, well you can't pinch h
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: it monthy.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, because it looked like Castillo was a little on
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: the ropes, you know, and they let him stay in
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: for Monty. He just got the advantage there, gets the
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: strikeout and then they yank them.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: But it's one game. Just was a question popping up,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: including from our fans in this one FT fan by.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Now you know, if you're buying, selling, trading collecting cards,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Arena Club is the spot. We've been talking about them
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: all season long. But I do want to focus on
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: the slab pack experience Scrats, since you've been ripping some
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: slab packs digitally and what happened.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the packs. How can they do this digitally? Oh? Baby,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: this is exciting. How the graphics come out and everything,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and oh yeah the card that you pull you can
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: actually get that John physically, so it's perfect. It's all
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in one place and it's a super exciting experience.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they send that to you from the vault if
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: you want it. But if you look at it and
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: you're like, it's not the card for me, I want
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: to sell back.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Go for it.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: You can do any of that on Arena Club, and
• 28:28

  Speaker 3: slash foul, use code foul. Let's get to the Brewers
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: and Reds crats. You weren't on yesterday, so you get
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: to talk nicely about your former teammate, Christian Yelich, who
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: had the game, the game winning homer essentially for the Brewers.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: That was the difference maker in two game, they're down
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: to nothing, they catch up and then that was a
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: blast to center field and they closed out the Reds
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: three to two. They've won eight straight. How dangerous are they?
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: He just, yeah, if Christianeliz keeps hitting like he has
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the last nine games, yeah, they're dangerous. It just feels
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: like it feels like they might be a little short.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: They got the first win when Savali has been on
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: the mound this year. I feel like they're just gonna
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: be a little short on the starting pitching side because
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: of injury, because of the fact that you're pretty much
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: just running Freddy Peroult out there. If Josey Kintana would
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: come back, there's a lot of ifs, but they're hanging around.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: The issue is they're hanging around with a nine game,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: eight game winning streak. And if there's one thing you
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: can guarantee, it's Christian Yelis in Cincinnati. This dude crushes
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the Reds. There could be no team wants to see
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: anybody less than Christian Yelch.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Yep, Great American Small Park is his friend.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, you know why crowds can't give him
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: credit because they swept the Phillies this weekend. So he's like,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I can't give the Brewers credit. Theypt the Phillies this weekend,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: and that means they're actually doing pretty good. But the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: Phillies are my team, so I don't know who do
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: I Homer for.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: But the Brewers needed the wins more, of course.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Phillies laid an egg. They dominated I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: mean they dominated them. They dominated the Phillies. They beat
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: their bullpen, they blew them out. They I mean it
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: was like the fact that and Reece Hoskins. You knew
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: ree Haskins was going to come back and into Philly
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: and do some of his work. He loves hitting in
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that place.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we saw it. Two three run homers in
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: that game against Lozardo. All right, Next up Padres and Giants.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Logan Web was awesome, hid out inning seven strikeouts. You
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: saw when they fall one nothing in ten to the Andre.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Some of the reactions from the Giants players, they are like,
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, we.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Couldn't give this guy any support.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: In yesterday's game, Stephen Coley pitched well for the Padres
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: and then of course the bullpen the way.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: But what else did you notice in this game?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Uh? Did you see the call?
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I don't. We got to show this. I just the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: game was The game was one nothing that one this call?
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: How do we miss this call? Have you seen this
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: play crash?
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: It was replay reviewed.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: I know That's what I'm saying. How do you can
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: we I don't know if we can show the still
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: or if we can show the William Domas got thrown
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: out at second base, mac pick I think here here
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: it is here, it's a backup by the catcher and safe. Okay.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: They then show it from the like right here, there's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: not anything touched in the base. He's Bogerts. This is
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: the shot right here. I mean he's first of all,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he's out there, but then he comes off off he's
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: still got the glove on him. After review of Lance
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Parksdale said he's safe. What huh?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I think I was in New York with my one eye.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: There was a blind guy in New York that did
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that replay review.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: That's the worst one I've ever seen. He's out twice.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: That's the worst one. I mean, there's a still shot
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: of him with his both feet off the base. Bogerts
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: is lying on top of them with the glove like
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: in his gut, and they're like, so see, this is
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: when the guy in New York should have to answer
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a question about well, I was actually drinking when this
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: play happens. I didn't really notice it because it was
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: one in the morning on the East Coast.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know it was really wasn't drinking.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, like, come on, how do you miss this?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: I don't what are your crafts? I mean, how do
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: you miss that one? I did not see it? Did
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you see it live? Or did you just see the
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: replay of it? I just saw the replay, Like, what
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: do you need to see live or replay like you
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: did they? Did they go? Did they go real quick
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: with their like? Was it like a long review? Because
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: who cares? There should have been five seconds? He's out,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean, Like, why how do we how
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: do we not get an explanation? And then it's there,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: he's out right there since he's he's saying, well, I
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: can't argue this, Well, who can I argue with? Because
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: clearly what did what did they not see? They didn't
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Apparently they didn't see enough evidence. I don't know. It
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: just doesn't make sense.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I'm lost that one.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: That one got me. That one got me. I don't know.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I've seen calls and replay that I can't I can't explain,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: but that one's like a UFO. It's unexplainable.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Kyle Glazer, who is our Friar Territory host, obviously was
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: fired up when he was watching that one. He was
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: posting in our chat BCC. He posted this screenshot, He's like,
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: am I missing something here? It's not that close. Sometimes
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: you look and it can be tough.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Like even the.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: George Springer where he was jumping, it was like, I
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: mean he came off by like half an inch, right,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: But I mean this one, it wasn't even close.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was no indisputable evidence, and for some
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: reason something happened in those cases.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Now, the question is is this is always a question
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: we had who were the who were the umpires in
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the New York? As players, we always asked this, do
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: they know Lance Parks though? Whoever made the call? Are
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: they friends of them? Do they not want them to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: get a bad rating? This is always why we were like,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: as players were like, oh, who's in New York? And
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: they would never tell you who was in New York
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: because sometimes it's per people on that crew and they're like, oh,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: well that guy made the calls my crew chief or
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: my buddy, and I want him to stay there, so
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to confirm the call. I'm not saying that happen,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: but it was just questions that players always had, right Kratz,
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: We're always like, well, who's in New York? And do
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: we know these people, right, did you not always ask
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: that as a player, like who's the empire in New York?
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: He want, Oh, who's the umpire that made the call?
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Because this guy might work with him down the road
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: and doesn't want him mat him because you were like,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: there was a lot a lot of conspiracy theories. That's
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is, is conspiracy theories. But for a
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: little bit in seventeen I think it was when I
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: was in New York with the Yankees. We tried to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: track it because the crews would be like, oh, hey,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: where are you going? Oh we're staying here. Oh where'd
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you come from?
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: We were here, And so you try to like track
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: whoever's coming into New York or is you know, the
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Mets or the Yankees. That that way, they give him
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to be in a place for eight days,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: so they stay and you're like, oh, I can kind
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of track who's going into the Mets or the Yankees.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: It could be this crew or that crew. It's all
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: for nothing. You never find You never find out till
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: after the fact, And what are you gonna do. You
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: can't call New York and be like, hey, you idiot,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: you missed that one. I don't really get you thrown out.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: NBA does that, They'll be like, oh, we messed something up.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, MLB never says that, no very I mean, I
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: guess I'm jays Scull was fifth you said those fifteenth
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: anniversary yesterday of that one. Yeah, they came out and
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: said that that's why we have replay.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Sounds pretty obvious, but so was the one we just watched.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they do the the two minute report after games.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: It's time, it's time. It just helps.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, there's a lot on the line these days. We
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: need to get this stuff right, and if not, we
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: just need to know what happened. I think the transparency
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: and the ethics of the game that are so important
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: should be playing out here.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I would I would love here ampire go. I would
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: love to hear an empire go. Man, it was so close,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Like the play was so close, we couldn't overturn it.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: That's it. And then you hear the explanation on that one, Ah,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: we got it right, and then you're like, no, you didn't.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Why can't we get why can we get like they
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: do in the NFL, like where they the Empire comes
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: on and explains it or NBA. I mean, if you
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: watch college basketball this year, I mean they were reviewing
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: stuff every thirty seconds.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: That's ridiculous.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I mean that was a little bit crazy. The review
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: this plays.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I was like, they review like way too many fouls
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: to see if they were bad fouls, like over the top.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: But it was every ball that went out of bounds.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: You're like, we're gonna review this, We're gonna look at
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the clock.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So you don't want that. You don't want
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: MLB stopping the game.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: And also when we first had replay, remember it took
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: a long time, and they've really gotten it much quicker,
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: they've cleaned it up. So maybe they feel like they're
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: on a clock and they don't get the angle they want,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: so they just make a stap decision.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But by the way I said, andres Gal,
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: it's harmando gag the apology, Shawn Michael, stop being control
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: on everything. Thank you, and not even the real Seawan Michael. Okay,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Sean Michael is the heartbreak kid. You're not him, so
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: stop thank you.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: WWE reference or WWF.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I think was Sean Michael did say. And the chat
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: BC is Scott gonna go for Halloween as a pirate.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: That's funny. That's funny. I patch pirate. That's thank you, Sean.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do see better. If I go like this,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: it's really clear. If I go like this, it's it's
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: really bad. But anyway, thank you glasses today are helping
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: just a little bit. Do you guys agree that the
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: most talked about team in baseball this year.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Is the Red Sox?
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: No, not even close.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: What Dodgers and Yankee yan are still okay, but in
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: terms of like news, right, like something happening, not.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: News just bregam a roll. Yeah, it's just it's like
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: every day they have something new, like, oh my gosh.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: So for Christian Campbell, yeah, right, for a five hundred team,
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: I always say they should have done the documentary this year,
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: not last year. Last year the team was Bowl ring.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: This year it's a pretty similar result, but it's very exciting.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: So Christian Campbell, the first base is done. Chris Catillo,
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: who joins the show often and works for Mass Live,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: said twofold.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: In his mind, the.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Impetus at first was a solution that would clear second
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: base for Marcela Meyer, but that's not happening now since
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Meyer's playing third for the injury at Alex Bregman. And
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: then also they've been impressed with Abraham Toro and may
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: think that a Torrow Romei Gonzalez platoon can get them
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: to the trade deadline.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, then who do they go get at the trade deadline?
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: They might be so far cooked that they can't. They
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: might be so cooked, why don't they go freak a trade? Now?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: They might be trading away players.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Like I don't understand that only get to the trade deadline,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: like they might be cooked by the trading trading what
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: first basements are available? Are they hoping that the Diamondbacks
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: keep sliding and and they put Nailer out on the market.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Come on, stop like that you're looking for a needle
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: in a haystack. If you're looking for another team's first baseman,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: they need it now they're happy with Toro and Romea Gonzalez.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take a chat BCC. Note here Brandon right
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: now is in there said very interesting coming up for
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: the Cardinals. Twenty eight games in twenty nine days. He
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: did some intense math here. If they go eleven and
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: seventeen in fall, six plus game back at the Wildcard,
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I'll be curious to see what they do. Being at
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: the five hundred mark, would they trade their starting pitching rentals?
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: And Ryan Helsley curious to see if they keep surprising
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: a fallback to reality. I mean, this is a debate
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: that we've had on this show too. And I was
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: on the Cardinals' radio station last night talking about this
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: because it's been a cool story. He asked if we're
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: surprised about the Cardinals so far.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I was like a little, I said it. I was,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: It's on.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Like a six or seven for me, because they didn't
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: lose anyone crads, they didn't sell pieces away. If they
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: sold half their team away in the offseason and then
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: they were like this, I'd be shocked. But they've had
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: some guys that are in what should be prime years
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: twenty six, twenty seven to twenty eight kind of range,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: like new Bar and Donovan take another step, and they
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: didn't lose anyone. I mean, you're a much better team
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: when you have Hellsley, when you have Sonny Gray dealing
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: the other day to help them when they had a
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: couple serious losses back to back. So I'm not surprised.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: I just still think they're probably going to be in
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: that five hundred range by the time we get to
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: the end of the season, if not worse, if they
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: end up selling parts, I'm.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Not surprised because the organization has done nothing but winning.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: I'm surprised that they're doing as well as they are.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: To me, the biggest question is going to be whether
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: they stay right where they're at and they're in the
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: wild card Like they're one of the teams in the
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: wildcard lead. Who makes the decisions? How hard do they push?
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: Hein Bloom is waiting in the wings. He's like, I
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: don't want you to hamstring me for next year. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: don't want to have a reboot in my first year.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm not the GM this year. Well, Saylox, like,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: I want to go in. This is my last year.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I want this playoff run. So who makes these decisions?
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: That's the most interesting thing to me.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Some of it's going to be play of the team.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they're within I would say, what five
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: games of a wildcard spot, they're probably going to at
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: least stand pat.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Five two at the what's your number? What's your number
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: three or less? What's your number three or less?
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Because there's so many teams there's so many teams. You
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: could be five games back of a wildcard and just
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: a wildcard spot, and there could be three teams ahead
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: of you. Like five feels like too much?
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: All right, let's slap.
• 42:36
