- 0:00Speaker 1: Can they say it's so hard to hit a guy.

- 0:03Speaker 2: Down and away like.
- 0:04Speaker 1: Nine out of ten times, but you can't hit a guy.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I can do is like move it over a little bit.
- 0:08Speaker 2: They're like, it's so hard.
- 0:12Speaker 3: No promises, but we're not going to talk about the
- 0:16Speaker 3: Red Sox as much today, more about the Giants.
- 0:19Speaker 1: The Red talks at all after their performances. Fight. No,
- 0:22Speaker 1: don't say maybe they should have maybe they should have
- 0:25Speaker 1: kept ever so they could score a run.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Actually, you know what that reminds me because I don't
- 0:29Speaker 3: think we'll have time for this later in the show.
- 0:31Speaker 3: Who's the MLB home run leader right now? Cal cal
- 0:35Speaker 3: Raley hell Rally, grand slammer and fun fact, he stole
- 0:41Speaker 3: his eighth base already, so I think he's on pace
- 0:44Speaker 3: for twenty big dumper twenty stolen base pace and eight
- 0:49Speaker 3: stolen bases is the franchise record for stolen bags by
- 0:53Speaker 3: a catcher, previously set by I'll give you a hint.
- 0:59Speaker 3: He's still in with the.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Orgil his manager.
- 1:04Speaker 3: Fun fact, you like that good? It's a neat story, yeah, Cal?
- 1:10Speaker 3: And rowdy with stolen bags? I think rowdy. Do you
- 1:16Speaker 3: know how many. He has eight year career. Do you
- 1:18Speaker 3: want to guess I think I know.
- 1:20Speaker 2: That I'm going to say four.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I believe that he has five, but let me double
- 1:26Speaker 3: check to confirm here live and it is five. So
- 1:30Speaker 3: you guys were one up, one down. Good job anyway,
- 1:34Speaker 3: Before we get the top story, foul. Territory shop dot
- 1:37Speaker 3: com has a lot more to offer than it used to. So,
- 1:42Speaker 3: in case you haven't given it a look, baseball the
- 1:44Speaker 3: way it should be, covered shirts, a variety of cups,
- 1:48Speaker 3: hat stickers, the lightweight hoodie that was heavily recommended by
- 1:55Speaker 3: many of you out there. You even got the Beatie,
- 1:59Speaker 3: but give it a look. About territory shot dot com.
- 2:02Speaker 3: There's fair territory gear. The Met Show has gear. The
- 2:06Speaker 3: Dodger Show I was watching last night at one thirty
- 2:09Speaker 3: in the morning, it was their own gear. Yeah, Dodger
- 2:12Speaker 3: Show was lit last night. If you just want some
- 2:18Speaker 3: entertainment for half hour, go check that out. They were
- 2:22Speaker 3: They were trash talking the Padres to the highest degree.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Really. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a Homer show.
- 2:29Speaker 4: It's a Homer Homer show. And they know that the
- 2:32Speaker 4: Padres are good. They know the Padres could could de
- 2:36Speaker 4: thrown them, so they just feel a little bit.
- 2:38Speaker 1: More on edge. The Padres are starting to lose steam
- 2:43Speaker 1: a little bit, Darvish and King back and yeah they're they're.
- 2:48Speaker 3: The Yankees are losing steam right now too. I just
- 2:52Speaker 3: don't they'll bounce back. I think they're a good team.
- 2:54Speaker 1: The Yankees just can't score a run. They need Aaron judge.
- 2:56Speaker 1: You get some hits, because if you don't hit, they don't.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Score exactly, which will tell talk about later too. Let's
- 3:01Speaker 3: start with everyone's favorite name in baseball this week, Charge
- 3:04Speaker 3: the Mountain Time Charge. I'll play anywhere. Raffie Devers is
- 3:14Speaker 3: a San Francisco giant. He was smiling as he's walking
- 3:18Speaker 3: through with the Piro smoke whatever into the ballpark, the
- 3:26Speaker 3: organization there supporting him, clapping. I'm sure there have been
- 3:29Speaker 3: conversations already with Buster Posey and company. And then of
- 3:33Speaker 3: course he says the famous quote, I'm here to play
- 3:37Speaker 3: wherever they want me to play. Is he not going
- 3:40Speaker 3: to be a man on fire, you would hope.
- 3:42Speaker 5: So.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I love that he got Barry Bonds walking him into
- 3:45Speaker 1: the clubhouse. I mean, he got everybody, got all the
- 3:47Speaker 1: big dogs out there. That's what happens when you're a
- 3:50Speaker 1: star and you get traded and they expect you that
- 3:53Speaker 1: they want you to be comfortable and they want you
- 3:54Speaker 1: to hit, and they treat you right.
- 3:56Speaker 2: M how he wanted to be.
- 3:59Speaker 4: This is the his his intro there on the Orange carpet.
- 4:02Speaker 4: That's how he wanted to come into the reds the
- 4:05Speaker 4: Red Sox clubhouse or wait no, that's how the Red
- 4:08Speaker 4: Sox thought.
- 4:08Speaker 2: He wanted to be.
- 4:09Speaker 4: All he wanted was be talked to tell what's going on.
- 4:14Speaker 4: He didn't want a grand entrance. Giants are like, hey,
- 4:17Speaker 4: we'll give you a grand entrance. You don't get a
- 4:19Speaker 4: you don't get the starting d H for the American League,
- 4:22Speaker 4: traded to your team in June.
- 4:23Speaker 2: That often you might as well pull out all the stops.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and from what I recall, they generally hold on
- 4:32Speaker 3: to franchise players.
- 4:33Speaker 1: You go there and do them right and treat them
- 4:36Speaker 1: right and play good and win the World Series. They
- 4:39Speaker 1: usually keep you around. Brandon Crawford, Brandon Bell, Linscomb, all
- 4:42Speaker 1: those cozy poesy I mean obviously, but I mean Pence
- 4:46Speaker 1: and all those guys they signed deals because they helped
- 4:48Speaker 1: them well, Bumgardner and then they let walk, which is surprising.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Well they waited, Yeah they did, they did, but then
- 4:58Speaker 3: the next go round they didn't all the and fairness,
- 5:00Speaker 3: they were roll off the map. So sometimes you know,
- 5:03Speaker 3: I mean, same thing with Linscom. People were calling for
- 5:06Speaker 3: that for a while and he fell off the map too.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Pitching a little bit.
- 5:09Speaker 2: Caane they kept around them.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Matt Caine, they kept around. Yeah, Logan Webb is locked
- 5:13Speaker 3: up long term right now. So I'm watching the Giants
- 5:17Speaker 3: last night, and I'm going I'm ditching all these other
- 5:21Speaker 3: games to watch the Giants. I haven't done that very
- 5:23Speaker 3: often in the last few years. The Giants, I think
- 5:27Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three, when our show launched, might have
- 5:29Speaker 3: been the most boring team in baseball, right, very five
- 5:33Speaker 3: hundred ish, very platoonish, very I don't know the names.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Twenty three was Gabe, right, Gabe and Farhun, and then
- 5:41Speaker 3: last year Farhun's still leading the pack. Very analytical we get.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Because everything went perfect, yes twenty one twenty one and
- 5:49Speaker 1: they won the division and they lost to the Dodgers
- 5:51Speaker 1: in the postseason, Like we can do this every year.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Doesn't work like that. It's so hard to catch platoon
- 5:57Speaker 1: magic every year because every he has to. Every single
- 6:01Speaker 1: person has to have a great year, every guy. If
- 6:04Speaker 1: you're doing it as much as the Giants did it then.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And if you watch baseball now, teams are kind of
- 6:09Speaker 1: they're not all going away from it. But the teams
- 6:12Speaker 1: that have nine good players, they stick with their nine
- 6:15Speaker 1: good players.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Who did that too often a team that they know
- 6:18Speaker 3: very well. And then they started acquiring superstars the Dogs
- 6:23Speaker 3: punching them in the lineup every day.
- 6:25Speaker 1: But the Dodgers still do it to an extent.
- 6:27Speaker 3: But not like do you remember what they used to do?
- 6:30Speaker 1: Yeah, but who was in charge?
- 6:33Speaker 3: Gay Kapler one far On was there with Eaven far
- 6:37Speaker 3: Hover together Freedman was like, screw it, let's just get
- 6:39Speaker 3: superstars and put them in the lineup every day. Wait,
- 6:41Speaker 3: hold up, krats, that's what Buster Posey is starting to do.
- 6:45Speaker 3: It is summertime. We are in the thick of golf season.
- 6:49Speaker 3: It's always golf season down in Florida, but we're in
- 6:51Speaker 3: the thick of golf season across the country and someone's
- 6:54Speaker 3: looking to get a new club. That logo should say
- 6:58Speaker 3: it all p XG.

- 7:47Speaker 3: Domas is not off to a great start this year
- 7:49Speaker 3: at a bad area yesterday too. But you know the names.
- 7:54Speaker 3: You plug them in every day. Chapman will be back
- 7:56Speaker 3: at some point, probably for the beginning of the second
- 7:59Speaker 3: half for the season. You're starting to plug in consistency
- 8:03Speaker 3: to this lineup.
- 8:04Speaker 2: I get it.
- 8:04Speaker 3: You want to have some left right action. Nobody's saying
- 8:07Speaker 3: that you can't. But to have a full freaking hockey
- 8:09Speaker 3: shift starting nine every day from a team is boring.
- 8:14Speaker 3: It does not attract fans from an entertainment basis, and
- 8:17Speaker 3: it generally hasn't produced wins. Most importantly, so my point was,
- 8:20Speaker 3: I'm watching the Giants last night crats, and I'm like,
- 8:22Speaker 3: they're relevant, they're entertaining, they're relevant, and we'll see what
- 8:26Speaker 3: the results are on the field. But I think they're
- 8:28Speaker 3: gonna be a better team with Raffi in the lineup.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Sure, they're gonna be a better team. This lineup needed
- 8:33Speaker 2: a boost.
- 8:34Speaker 4: No better, no better person to get a boost than
- 8:37Speaker 4: Raffie Devers.
- 8:38Speaker 2: I mean that doubly hit.
- 8:40Speaker 4: And then of course he comes up in a big
- 8:42Speaker 4: spot late in the game gets a knock. But the
- 8:46Speaker 4: reason you platoon, the reason you try to get those advantages,
- 8:51Speaker 4: it's because you're trying to get the little things on
- 8:54Speaker 4: the margins. If a team has an opportunity to start
- 8:58Speaker 4: a guy one hundred and six games and have a
- 9:03Speaker 4: OPS over eight hundred, you don't need to platoon him.
- 9:07Speaker 4: You just need to throw him out there, make sure
- 9:09Speaker 4: he's fine. And he doesn't need a day off, and
- 9:12Speaker 4: you play him teams like the Giants who have the
- 9:15Speaker 4: money and are willing to spend the money like you
- 9:17Speaker 4: guys said on guys that you want to keep around,
- 9:20Speaker 4: go out and get the players. Buster Posey has done that.
- 9:23Speaker 4: He locked up Chapman's deal while Chapman was still there
- 9:26Speaker 4: under far Han went out and got Willy went out
- 9:29Speaker 4: and now he got Devers like guys that are going
- 9:32Speaker 4: to play every day. You don't need to platoon to
- 9:35Speaker 4: make your whole roster when you have cash to spend
- 9:38Speaker 4: like the Giants.
- 9:42Speaker 3: It's brilliant. And the Giants have been a little bro
- 9:45Speaker 3: status lately. They were big bro for a while. They
- 9:48Speaker 3: were the Dynasty.
- 9:52Speaker 2: A long time ago.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Long time done much since then. But what's been the
- 9:55Speaker 1: kind of the common deme? They're trying to get too cute.
- 9:58Speaker 1: They've tried to get too cute. I know they've tried
- 10:00Speaker 1: to sign stars, but they haven't been able to. They
- 10:02Speaker 1: staid they went on traded for one and have a choice, right,
- 10:05Speaker 1: but they were trying to get they get they they
- 10:07Speaker 1: tried to get cute. They you know, Farhan is really
- 10:09Speaker 1: good at what he does and Gabe Kapler has this
- 10:12Speaker 1: thing that he does too. But when you're competing against
- 10:16Speaker 1: a team like the Dodgers and you all throw the
- 10:17Speaker 1: Padres Manny Machado plays every day, Lisa Rice plays every day,
- 10:20Speaker 1: the inner Boguards plays every day. For Nats plays every day,
- 10:23Speaker 1: Jackson Marrow plays every day, Corona Worth plays every day.
- 10:26Speaker 3: There's are basically whole line.
- 10:28Speaker 1: There's seven of the nine or six of the six
- 10:30Speaker 1: of the eight position players right lefty, righty, doesn't matter.
- 10:33Speaker 1: They play the same guys. Look at the Dodgers show, Hey,
- 10:36Speaker 1: Mookie will Smith, Freddie ta Oscar even months he plays
- 10:40Speaker 1: against lefties.
- 10:41Speaker 3: Actually, you know, the Padres tried to be cute with
- 10:44Speaker 3: one position in the off season because they had to
- 10:47Speaker 3: save money. They got rid of profile and they added
- 10:50Speaker 3: Connor Joe and Jason Hayward to platoon. And that has
- 10:54Speaker 3: been the biggest problem that they, you know.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Has been great for him. Darry Bonds Gavin Chets is
- 11:00Speaker 1: dairy Bonds as they call him. Do you know they
- 11:01Speaker 1: call him dairy Bonds, dairy dairy bonds like cow like cow, dairy,
- 11:08Speaker 1: like col dairy.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
- 11:11Speaker 1: I went up to him and I saw him in Milwaukee.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I was like, oh, dairy Bonds. He just started a lot.
- 11:14Speaker 1: He's like, I don't know, man, that's fun.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 11:17Speaker 1: I was like, I'm calling you that from now on
- 11:19Speaker 1: because he's sounded a good year. Yeah, White Sox and
- 11:23Speaker 1: he's hitting bombs.
- 11:25Speaker 3: Is I'm just I'm happy for Giants fans. I think
- 11:29Speaker 3: this is going to be really fun. They were bringing
- 11:31Speaker 3: it last night with the ovations. Every ab that place
- 11:34Speaker 3: was electric. They lost the game by a run to
- 11:37Speaker 3: a decent Guardians team that had been struggling a lot.
- 11:39Speaker 3: But things are changing quickly in San Francisco. Let's put
- 11:44Speaker 3: it that way. This you need to win games, that's
- 11:47Speaker 3: the most important thing. We also are watching to be
- 11:51Speaker 3: entertained and to have an escape, and I just think
- 11:54Speaker 3: that you need to keep that in mind as well.
- 11:57Speaker 3: It is helpful to have some superstar plays. You know
- 12:00Speaker 3: they're gonna be there. You buy the jersey, you know
- 12:03Speaker 3: you're gonna go to the game and you're gonna see them.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:05Speaker 3: The Jays did that with Laddie. That's why I had
- 12:07Speaker 3: so much leverage against them. It's like, who's going to
- 12:10Speaker 3: be that guy for you? I'm gonna give you the
- 12:12Speaker 3: production and people are gonna want to come see me
- 12:15Speaker 3: and buy my jersey. The Giants starting to build that here.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Chapman's locked up long term. Devas are gonna be there
- 12:21Speaker 3: for a long time. Adamis is obviously hopefully he recovers
- 12:24Speaker 3: a little bit more.
- 12:25Speaker 4: This team plays a lot, and I think historically, I
- 12:28Speaker 4: think the Park probably doesn't. Also how they build a team.
- 12:31Speaker 4: They play a lot of one run games. Raffie Devers
- 12:35Speaker 4: can win you one run games. Raffie Devers on a
- 12:38Speaker 4: team that is going to score like seven or eight
- 12:41Speaker 4: runs and it's gonna be.
- 12:42Speaker 2: A nine to eight loss. That's different.
- 12:45Speaker 4: They're gonna play close games here, and you added Raffie
- 12:48Speaker 4: Devers into that lineup, It's it's gonna be huge. I
- 12:53Speaker 4: they may overtake the Padres before we know it.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Well, they've already passed them in the standings right standing.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Buster Posey said that they had been working on this
- 13:02Speaker 3: trade for three to four weeks.
- 13:05Speaker 1: See yeah, I mean, I guess, But how I mean,
- 13:10Speaker 1: how is this not?
- 13:12Speaker 2: Listen?
- 13:12Speaker 1: Buster Posey's running a good organization because normally this would leak
- 13:14Speaker 1: out from somewhere right Like, normally we would have heard
- 13:18Speaker 1: something from somebody about this. Who else did they talk to?
- 13:21Speaker 1: I want to know what the other teams are because
- 13:22Speaker 1: they didn't just.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Came out Giant.
- 13:24Speaker 5: They came out phrase right, yep, blue Jays. Yeah, but
- 13:34Speaker 5: they weren't going to deal him to the Blue Jays.
- 13:37Speaker 3: The division thing was a factor. The Padres probably were
- 13:42Speaker 3: talking about the money side of things, like to me,
- 13:45Speaker 3: that might have been the conversation was aj Preller goes, hey,
- 13:48Speaker 3: I'll take them. We can't take on this much salary
- 13:50Speaker 3: this year. Can you eat a little. I'll give you
- 13:52Speaker 3: Leo devriz Or one of their top prospects. And then
- 13:56Speaker 3: it goes to Henry and he's like, nah, dumping whole contract,
- 13:59Speaker 3: which that's their right, but that's where the owner is
- 14:02Speaker 3: going to go on that they want to get rid
- 14:04Speaker 3: of all of the money, especially on a deal that
- 14:07Speaker 3: is a fine deal. We've got over this earlier. He's
- 14:12Speaker 3: got like half the money left that compared to what
- 14:15Speaker 3: Blad he's making, you can make comps with those two.
- 14:18Speaker 3: Dever has been a better bat. Wadden is obviously playing
- 14:20Speaker 3: in the field, although Devers is going to play first soon.
- 14:24Speaker 3: I don't know if I mean he was not a
- 14:26Speaker 3: good third baseman. Do you think he can be a
- 14:28Speaker 3: below average first baseman? And by below average meaning like
- 14:31Speaker 3: it's good enough to be out there, because there's others
- 14:33Speaker 3: below average first basement he.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Could play if he played third, he could play first.
- 14:36Speaker 1: He might take him some time to figure it out,
- 14:38Speaker 1: but yeah, mean you can play first at some point.
- 14:42Speaker 1: And by the way, I did another I did a
- 14:44Speaker 1: show this morning, a different show, and one of the
- 14:47Speaker 1: guys on there said that he used to work at
- 14:49Speaker 1: Fenway Sports Group and he said, basically, the Liverpool is
- 14:53Speaker 1: the team that the Fenway Sports Group has invested heavily in.
- 14:56Speaker 1: But now they have Liverpool Red Sox and the Penguin
- 15:00Speaker 1: and they're lebron Is involved and they're looking to get
- 15:04Speaker 1: an NBA team to Vegas. That's their focus right now,
- 15:06Speaker 1: not the Red Sox, which to here is.
- 15:08Speaker 3: Kind of shocking, meaning they're not giving as much love.
- 15:14Speaker 1: They're not giving as much love to the Red Sox
- 15:16Speaker 1: as they used to because remember when the Henry Bottom
- 15:18Speaker 1: and they hadn't won in forever. They've won four World
- 15:21Speaker 1: Series since he's been there. Oh whatever, we can do
- 15:24Speaker 1: this anytime. We have a new focus now. So again,
- 15:28Speaker 1: I don't know how true, it is, But I take
- 15:30Speaker 1: this guy for his word because he's like you said,
- 15:34Speaker 1: he used to work for Fenway Sports and he said
- 15:36Speaker 1: he you know, he had heard things, so which.
- 15:40Speaker 2: I mean, I trust the guy.
- 15:41Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine, he said it.
- 15:42Speaker 2: He said it on the air.
- 15:43Speaker 3: So the Socks are about the future right now. Again,
- 15:48Speaker 3: that was the cell last year and now they're selling
- 15:50Speaker 3: that again. They're about the future. So it's more about
- 15:53Speaker 3: next year than this year. I'm serious. That's not even
- 15:57Speaker 3: a joke. I'm serious. They said it's more about next
- 15:59Speaker 3: year now than year.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Here's the Red Sox. Every year should be about this year.
- 16:03Speaker 1: You have the Red Sox. So we're not talking rips,
- 16:06Speaker 1: but they're the Red Sox.
- 16:07Speaker 3: Three years of this, I think more than that.
- 16:09Speaker 1: They won an eighteen.
- 16:11Speaker 3: Yeah's seven years ago.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Okay, But then they traded Mooki in twenty before the
- 16:16Speaker 1: COVID COVID, yeah or nineteen to twenty. Then they traded sale.
- 16:19Speaker 1: They lost Bogerts, so it's been like we're rebuilding, We're rebuilding, rebuilding.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Devors was supposed to be the face. That's why they
- 16:25Speaker 1: signed him, and they trade him. So now they're rebuilding again. Right,
- 16:28Speaker 1: But you're the Red Sox man. You know you shouldn't
- 16:30Speaker 1: have to do this. I'm sorry.
- 16:32Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one they were pretty good. They won ninety
- 16:33Speaker 3: two games. They lost in the ALCS.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but I worked twenty that's why.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the right. It's really the Postcrats are
- 16:46Speaker 3: twenty twenty two seventy eight wins, twenty twenty three seventy
- 16:48Speaker 3: eight wins, twenty twenty four eighty one wins, and this
- 16:51Speaker 3: year they are one game over five hundred, so they're
- 16:54Speaker 3: on a similar pace. It's a long time to be
- 16:56Speaker 3: very mid. Yankee fans would earn down.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 17:02Speaker 1: Red Sox fans keep showing up, keep watching on nesson.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you wait for it, and now I've
- 17:09Speaker 3: got it for you. Yankees scoring was go back to Thursday,
- 17:13Speaker 3: one nothing win and then they haven't won since. They've
- 17:18Speaker 3: scored one run, three runs, no runs, no runs, no runs.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Judge's slumping.
- 17:25Speaker 1: Judge is slumping. That's it. There's your there's your why
- 17:28Speaker 1: they don't score.
- 17:29Speaker 3: They're so Judge aligned.
- 17:31Speaker 1: They don't have Soto that they had last year to
- 17:33Speaker 1: help them. Look at the Red Sox series, they basically
- 17:38Speaker 1: didn't score any runs in that series, and then the
- 17:41Speaker 1: one run they did score off Crochet was a Judge homer.
- 17:43Speaker 1: That's the only hit he got in that series. They
- 17:45Speaker 1: didn't score any runs. Right now against the Angels, he's
- 17:48Speaker 1: not hitting, they're not scoring any runs. So if I'm
- 17:51Speaker 1: other teams, I'm like, this guy hit getting nothing to
- 17:54Speaker 1: get everything.
- 17:56Speaker 4: But they have a bunch of dudes that have decent,
- 17:58Speaker 4: decent numbers. Their entire starting lineup the other day had
- 18:02Speaker 4: above average OPS.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Is anybody gonna win an MVP?
- 18:06Speaker 4: No, Grisham eight hundred OPS, seven ninety six for ben Rice,
- 18:12Speaker 4: Austin Wells a catching position is above average. Cody Bellinger
- 18:16Speaker 4: seven forty seven. Like, a lot of guys are above
- 18:20Speaker 4: league average OPS. So they're not just abysmal besides Judge.
- 18:28Speaker 2: No.
- 18:28Speaker 1: But I mean, here's the thing, Volpi, he has a
- 18:33Speaker 1: seven thirty seven OPS, like, but he's hitting two thirty eight, right.
- 18:37Speaker 1: I mean Austin wall is hitting two seventeen right as ops. Right,
- 18:41Speaker 1: So they're all or nothing pretty much because they're hitting
- 18:44Speaker 1: home runs.
- 18:44Speaker 2: That's why their OPS is so high.
- 18:46Speaker 3: Krat's real question for you. So I'm in arena club
- 18:50Speaker 3: and I opened up a slab pack. I pulled a
- 18:53Speaker 3: Wyatt Langford Auto rookie card. I got an immediate offer
- 18:57Speaker 3: from Arena Club. I turned it down and it was
- 19:00Speaker 3: in the mid three hundredths range. I've gotten a few
- 19:02Speaker 3: offers since. Thoughts on white should I hold on?
- 19:06Speaker 2: I saw it?
- 19:07Speaker 4: I didn't see it when you ripped the pack, but
- 19:09Speaker 4: it looks so sick with everything around and how it's
- 19:12Speaker 4: spinning in your showroom. That John looked nice, But no,
- 19:16Speaker 4: you shouldn't sell it. Maybe wait till he makes an
- 19:19Speaker 4: all start or two and all of a sudden that
- 19:21Speaker 4: three hundred goes up and you're going to get another
- 19:23Speaker 4: instant offer right away on Arena Club.
- 19:26Speaker 3: That's right, bye, sell trade. Slab packs are there for
- 19:29Speaker 3: you two to rip a pack, and for me, I'm
- 19:32Speaker 3: just leaving it in the showroom for now, deciding what
- 19:35Speaker 3: I'm going to do with it. But if I did
- 19:36Speaker 3: want to sell it, then I can get myself another
- 19:38Speaker 3: slab pack or buy a card that I want to buy.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Get twenty percent off your first slab pack or card
- 19:42Speaker 3: purchase by going to Arena club dot com slash val
- 19:45Speaker 3: use code fo U L my corner time. Wow, this
- 19:53Speaker 3: might be happening might be happening. The Rays could get
- 19:58Speaker 3: sold and it would be MLB's dream. They hate the race,
- 20:02Speaker 3: true story. They have treated the Rays so differently from
- 20:05Speaker 3: the A's the name of the front runner here, Patrick Zeleupski, Yeah, okay,
- 20:14Speaker 3: there in advanced talks to sell the team to this
- 20:18Speaker 3: Jacksonville developer rich Man signed a letter of intent to college.
- 20:24Speaker 3: There there's a letter of intent. John Aman says one caveat.
- 20:30Speaker 3: Such letters are non binding. Stu Sternberg, owner of the
- 20:33Speaker 3: Race right now. It's come close to but pulled out
- 20:35Speaker 3: of deals in the past. First reported advanced talks are Batt,
- 20:42Speaker 3: Beadenhausen and Sashnik.
- 20:44Speaker 1: It's more of a credit for advanced talks being reported
- 20:47Speaker 1: because I reported this long time ago.
- 20:49Speaker 3: You did one point seven billion dollars is the number,
- 20:53Speaker 3: which I'm guessing is more than Stu bought it For
- 20:56Speaker 3: the statement from the Race, the Rays announced that the
- 20:58Speaker 3: team has recently commenced exclusive discussions with a group led
- 21:02Speaker 3: by the Lepski and they threw some other names on
- 21:05Speaker 3: there and Tampa Bay investors concerning a possible sale of
- 21:10Speaker 3: the team. Neither the Race nor the group will have
- 21:12Speaker 3: further comment. During the discussions. I think this is gonna happen.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Do you uh, someone that knows Patrick, He's been trying
- 21:22Speaker 1: to do.
- 21:22Speaker 2: This for a while and tell us everything.
- 21:26Speaker 1: But do you know, I can't tell you everything.
- 21:28Speaker 3: Tell us as much as you can tell.
- 21:29Speaker 2: He's been wanting to.
- 21:30Speaker 1: Do this for a while, and he has been talking
- 21:34Speaker 1: to them for a long time, and he's They've had
- 21:37Speaker 1: a hard time getting Sternberg to agree to anything. And
- 21:40Speaker 1: now just the fact that they got him to agree
- 21:42Speaker 1: negotiate exclusively, I feel like it is a big deal.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this has been something that's been on
- 21:50Speaker 1: my radar for a while now. I think we kind
- 21:53Speaker 1: of talked. I kind of hinted at this on the
- 21:55Speaker 1: show a little bit. So listen, this is not a
- 21:59Speaker 1: surprise to me, more like that it got announced because
- 22:01Speaker 1: this has been going on behind the scenes. But now
- 22:03Speaker 1: that it's got announce it's kind of a kind of
- 22:05Speaker 1: changes things a little bit.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Will they or will they go? I think they'll stay
- 22:09Speaker 3: in Saint Peter Tampa.
- 22:11Speaker 1: I think they're going to try to get them in Tampa.
- 22:12Speaker 1: I don't know where or how. Again, I know they've
- 22:15Speaker 1: had discussions. Again, I don't know everything.
- 22:17Speaker 2: I know they've had.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Discussions with the city of Tampa about plots of land
- 22:24Speaker 1: in different places, not necessarily because they wanted them on
- 22:27Speaker 1: the water, but not necessarily in the water. But I
- 22:29Speaker 1: know that they want like a big chunk of land
- 22:32Speaker 1: similar to the battery, one hundred acre ish plots of land. Okay,
- 22:38Speaker 1: those are hard to come by, and then you got
- 22:40Speaker 1: to put a stadium on top of it. But I
- 22:43Speaker 1: think they would get to Tampa. My opinion, just from
- 22:47Speaker 1: what I've heard, kind of kills the Orlando thing, which
- 22:51Speaker 1: I get, but I think Tampa is where you kind
- 22:55Speaker 1: of have to have them.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole Same Pete thing is they were going
- 22:59Speaker 3: to give them more money than Tampa. But if you
- 23:01Speaker 3: have a new owner in who's not as concerned about that,
- 23:04Speaker 3: then he's going to put it in the place where
- 23:06Speaker 3: it should thrive long.
- 23:07Speaker 1: Put it in a place where it should work better,
- 23:08Speaker 1: which if you've been to Tampa proper, like not Tampa Bay,
- 23:13Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is Sarasota, Saint Pete, Clearwater, Tampa. That's I
- 23:17Speaker 1: consider Tampa Bay. That's why they're called the Tampa Bay Rays.
- 23:20Speaker 1: If you put it in Tampa proper, where Ama Lee
- 23:23Speaker 1: Arena is where the Bucks play, where Steinbreder is, there's
- 23:26Speaker 1: just it's just easier to get to. It's it's just
- 23:28Speaker 1: there's a bigger population center there and if you go,
- 23:31Speaker 1: if you've seen a Lightning game, they I mean, they
- 23:32Speaker 1: sell it out every night.
- 23:33Speaker 2: And they're also good.
- 23:35Speaker 1: The Bucks do great Steinberger. We see the Rays are
- 23:38Speaker 1: doing pretty good at Steinbrenner. I don't hear complaints about
- 23:40Speaker 1: them like they do in Sacramento about them.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Not drawing well.
- 23:43Speaker 1: And I know people from Orlando go to the Raising
- 23:45Speaker 1: games way more now because they don't have to go
- 23:47Speaker 1: across the Causeway, which is another forty five minutes. Yeah,
- 23:50Speaker 1: they're like, oh I get there in an hour to
- 23:52Speaker 1: an hour and a half. That's way better than two
- 23:54Speaker 1: to two and a.
- 23:54Speaker 3: Half hours rush hour. You're saving an hour plus.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Oh easily, right, easily.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I got hang on.
- 24:02Speaker 4: I got a call from the Yes, mister Polad, Yes, no,
- 24:08Speaker 4: I know I heard one point seven for the Rays.
- 24:11Speaker 4: Oh you're asking more now one point nine? Okay, thank you.
- 24:14Speaker 4: We'll let you know.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Should the Twins be worth more? Also, the twins have
- 24:19Speaker 3: a lot of debt. I will say there's some more
- 24:21Speaker 3: complications there, they've taken on a lot more debt. I
- 24:24Speaker 3: don't know how you know that factors.
- 24:25Speaker 1: The reason the reason the Twins can sell for more
- 24:29Speaker 1: is they have the stadium already there. The Rays have
- 24:32Speaker 1: to find a stadium.
- 24:33Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big deal, right.
- 24:35Speaker 1: It's kind of like the White Sox situation with the Iss.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Are the White Sox worth more? Probably because they're in
- 24:40Speaker 1: a bigger market, But you got to get a stadium
- 24:43Speaker 1: at some point, and then that just adds to cost.
- 24:45Speaker 1: And if you don't have that set up, the owner's
- 24:49Speaker 1: got to find that money somewhere. That's like an extra
- 24:51Speaker 1: two billion dollars.
- 24:54Speaker 3: I think it's probably easier to find people in Tampa
- 24:59Speaker 3: than it is Minneapolis.
- 25:04Speaker 4: Think about think about like a battery type of thing
- 25:07Speaker 4: in Tampa and how much more successful that's going to
- 25:11Speaker 4: be year round, not just when baseball season's in in Minnesota.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Like you're you're locked, You're you're you're locked in there.
- 25:22Speaker 2: You have the stadium. I don't know.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Well, the whole thing with Minneapolis was that they wanted
- 25:29Speaker 3: to put it downtown. Yeah, and they did. They forgot
- 25:33Speaker 3: to put a roof on it, which apparently couldn't do
- 25:35Speaker 3: in that particular location, which I think is insanely dumb
- 25:38Speaker 3: because the weather sucks there. But that's a whole nother story. Yeah,
- 25:42Speaker 3: you have a chance though as an owner, right, and
- 25:46Speaker 3: if you want to be an MLB owner, you got
- 25:48Speaker 3: to have a lot of coin for this guy. He's
- 25:52Speaker 3: going to put his own stamp on everything, right, this
- 25:55Speaker 3: is going to change everything. And for MLB, I'm sure
- 25:58Speaker 3: they're pumped for or Tampa. I'm sure they're pumped right,
- 26:03Speaker 3: because you're going to bring someone in who's not going
- 26:06Speaker 3: to well, I don't know the guy. I mean you do,
- 26:08Speaker 3: I don't know the guy, but you're going to bring
- 26:09Speaker 3: someone in who has a chance to actually build something
- 26:11Speaker 3: special and not be so torn up with every penny
- 26:15Speaker 3: and how much are we getting from Saint Pete versus
- 26:16Speaker 3: Tampa and turning into all this bidding, Like, let's actually
- 26:19Speaker 3: just try and make something that will work, because right
- 26:21Speaker 3: now Miami and Tampa Bay have not represented well in MLB.
- 26:28Speaker 3: I think that's an easy right, right, that they they
- 26:33Speaker 3: can put a better product together. We see it the
- 26:37Speaker 3: lightning habit, the heat habit, the bucks, the bucks habit,
- 26:41Speaker 3: the magic even habit to an extent when.
- 26:43Speaker 1: The Magic are good. It's there's no better place to
- 26:45Speaker 1: go watch a yeah.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Goody decent this.
- 26:50Speaker 3: Year I went packed Vibe. Yeah, yes, it's it's Panthers.
- 26:57Speaker 2: Florida. Florida.
- 26:59Speaker 4: Flora wants to have professional sports teams and they want
- 27:04Speaker 4: to feel to me part of the community. I don't know,
- 27:07Speaker 4: and I think the Rays just don't do that. You
- 27:09Speaker 4: don't go anywhere around the area and go whoa, yeah,
- 27:12Speaker 4: I got to go to a Rais game, Like there's
- 27:13Speaker 4: a lot of Rays regalia around.
- 27:18Speaker 3: This. This gives someone a chance to change things, So
- 27:22Speaker 3: I'm excited. We'll see what happens. It's a letter of intent.
- 27:27Speaker 3: Duken back out. He's backed out of many things in
- 27:29Speaker 3: the past, including stadium deals. Yes, but we'll see.
- 27:33Speaker 1: But I think now I think there's pressure on him
- 27:35Speaker 1: now to do this.
- 27:37Speaker 2: The MLB.
- 27:39Speaker 1: I think MLB is putting pressure on him a little
- 27:40Speaker 1: bit behind the scenes. On Sternberg.
- 27:42Speaker 3: Now, they're putting a lot of they we've basically seen
- 27:45Speaker 3: reports like they're going after him.
- 27:48Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because he keeps this keeps happening,
- 27:50Speaker 1: things keep falling through. He doesn't come follow through with this.
- 27:53Speaker 1: He doesn't do this, I think more than what we're
- 27:55Speaker 1: hearing though. I think they're kind of like, hey, it's time.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Like you bought this team for like two hundred million,
- 28:01Speaker 1: you can now sell for one point seven billion. It's time, dude. Yeah,
- 28:04Speaker 1: take your money and run.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Move on.
- 28:07Speaker 1: We'll get somebody in here that will help us get
- 28:09Speaker 1: to the next level in Saint Pete because Manford is
- 28:12Speaker 1: dead set on keeping this team in Florida, whether it's Tampa,
- 28:14Speaker 1: Saint Pete, Orlando, wherever it is. And also, right now,
- 28:17Speaker 1: you have a governor in Disantas and this isn't political
- 28:21Speaker 1: at all, but he's from that area. He wants that
- 28:25Speaker 1: team there, and now is the time to strike. Well,
- 28:27Speaker 1: he's still the governor and he can say he can
- 28:30Speaker 1: help push some people along across the finish line.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right. That's how this works. You need a
- 28:37Speaker 3: lot of people to be on the same page to
- 28:40Speaker 3: pull things like this off. Gotta keep talking about the
- 28:44Speaker 3: team when they're hot. One of the hottest teams in
- 28:47Speaker 3: baseball right now is.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Washington Nationals.
- 28:53Speaker 3: How many for them now? Ten? Is it ten?
- 28:56Speaker 2: Nine? Straight?
- 28:57Speaker 3: Ten?
- 28:58Speaker 1: And around they've lost ten or rough. The Rockies are
- 29:01Speaker 1: hot as fire, right know, Rockies are just I mean,
- 29:04Speaker 1: they're trying to get back in that race with the
- 29:06Speaker 1: White Sox.
- 29:07Speaker 4: They're as hot as the Red Sox. Let's put it
- 29:09Speaker 4: that way. They're five hundred in their last fourteen games.
- 29:12Speaker 4: The Red Sox are five hundred for their last three seasons. Yeah,
- 29:16Speaker 4: but for the Rockies, seven and seven is a big number. Yes,
- 29:20Speaker 4: And they could they could go back to back sweet pieces, right,
- 29:24Speaker 4: you know the Marlins, and now they can sweep to that.
- 29:27Speaker 3: There was a series in between.
- 29:28Speaker 2: Now now they're still the beat the Braves two to three.
- 29:32Speaker 3: Right.
- 29:35Speaker 4: You know who's the most mad that they keep winning?
- 29:38Speaker 4: Paedrickarfall most mad by far. He's like, they're gonna win
- 29:43Speaker 4: more games than we did last year.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Da go on it.
- 29:48Speaker 3: And I do think we're in this anomaly era here
- 29:51Speaker 3: where you're not going to see this level of futility
- 29:55Speaker 3: for a while. You're gonna see terrible teams. But I'm
- 29:58Speaker 3: saying last year the White Sox set the record. It
- 30:02Speaker 3: is crazy that one year later you have another team
- 30:05Speaker 3: that might set the lost record right after that. I
- 30:07Speaker 3: don't think this is going to be something we're following
- 30:09Speaker 3: on a yearly basis, like, oh, we got another team
- 30:11Speaker 3: that might That's my point.
- 30:14Speaker 1: So if the Rockies are anything nice, to check out
- 30:18Speaker 1: my shirt. We can't get anything nice. What we set
- 30:20Speaker 1: the lost record and the Rockies are trying to take
- 30:22Speaker 1: that on them.
- 30:23Speaker 3: It might be that time. If you're looking for a

- 32:46Speaker 3: and if you don't win this week, there'll be other
- 32:47Speaker 3: ways to win. Let's hit that. That's what he said.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said.
- 32:52Speaker 3: That's what he said.
- 32:55Speaker 1: That's what he said.
- 32:56Speaker 3: That's what he said. Nick Castianos got removed a couple
- 33:03Speaker 3: days ago from a game for defense. He said something
- 33:06Speaker 3: to Rob Thompson, and Thompson sat him, akay, I mean
- 33:08Speaker 3: it's a one game suspension. He sat him yesterday for
- 33:11Speaker 3: what he called an inappropriate comment. Castianos said he wasn't
- 33:15Speaker 3: pleased with being pulled from the game. Thompson said that
- 33:17Speaker 3: he had crossed the line with whatever he said, and
- 33:19Speaker 3: Castianos said, it's his decision. He's the manager. You know.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Nick had a two hundred and thirty six games played streak,
- 33:26Speaker 3: second longest active streak in MLB. That came to a
- 33:29Speaker 3: close and for all you old school baseball fans out there.
- 33:35Speaker 3: This is no Iron Man Cal Ripken streak, but it
- 33:38Speaker 3: does mean something to a player to play every day.
- 33:42Speaker 3: When you've got to thirty six in a row. There
- 33:43Speaker 3: are so few that play every single day and put
- 33:47Speaker 3: together solid production. Are Philly expert Aer Kratz your thoughts
- 33:50Speaker 3: on all of this.
- 33:52Speaker 4: I've been on all of it, two hundred and thirty
- 33:54Speaker 4: six straight games starting, not just playing starting, So that's
- 33:59Speaker 4: that's legit. Which talked about it earlier. Good players want
- 34:02Speaker 4: to play every day. Good teams have guys that play
- 34:04Speaker 4: every day. I don't know what he said. It may
- 34:08Speaker 4: have been something about the fact that America was going
- 34:10Speaker 4: to win the Stanley Cup and Edmonton the only shot
- 34:14Speaker 4: for Canada to win the Stanley Cup wasn't gonna happen,
- 34:16Speaker 4: and maybe the Canadian Rob Thompson got pissed. I don't know,
- 34:21Speaker 4: but Nick's Nick and Rob have not always seen eye
- 34:25Speaker 4: to eye. But Topper even said that. Topper said, you
- 34:29Speaker 4: know what, one of the things I like about Nick
- 34:31Speaker 4: is his emotion. He crossed the line. Everybody's got a line,
- 34:37Speaker 4: this one. He crossed it this time.
- 34:43Speaker 2: But what did he say?
- 34:44Speaker 1: What can he possibly say that would have made Rob
- 34:47Speaker 1: Thompson that man, why the heck did you take me
- 34:49Speaker 1: out of the game? Skip?
- 34:51Speaker 2: Like?
- 34:52Speaker 1: Did he call him a name? Did he insult them?
- 34:55Speaker 1: Did he say a bad word?
- 34:57Speaker 3: What?
- 34:58Speaker 1: What he what could possibly say the word? Rob Thompson
- 35:00Speaker 1: was like, we're not starting wrow and by the way,
- 35:02Speaker 1: we got our asses skifed. Also they did the Phillies.
- 35:08Speaker 1: Here's my only I know. But what could he possibly
- 35:11Speaker 1: have said that would have made him dismount? Where you
- 35:14Speaker 1: don't start the guy?
- 35:15Speaker 3: I ask you, guys, I don't know. I play it, like,
- 35:18Speaker 3: what do you think would set the tone? Like, you, guys,
- 35:20Speaker 3: tell me Kratz the word is you. If you say
- 35:22Speaker 3: you to the umpire, you're out right. So what is
- 35:24Speaker 3: it to the manager that gets some sat.
- 35:28Speaker 4: I hope nobody cuts this incorrectly because it could be
- 35:31Speaker 4: taken wrong. But Topper is very a very humble guy.
- 35:36Speaker 4: He's very like I bet it would be really tough
- 35:39Speaker 4: to say something that would hurt his feelings. My fear
- 35:44Speaker 4: is that Nick said something about one of the other players,
- 35:47Speaker 4: like let's say, let's say you could come out of
- 35:49Speaker 4: the game, you don't want to come out of the game,
- 35:51Speaker 4: and you say something like we're putting this idiot in
- 35:54Speaker 4: the game, or we're putting like if he said something
- 35:56Speaker 4: degrading about another player, I could see Topper saying I
- 36:00Speaker 4: see Topper saying that, like, no, no, we're not gonna
- 36:03Speaker 4: do that. We're not gonna degrade other people. If he
- 36:06Speaker 4: like makes fun of a coach or like yells at
- 36:08Speaker 4: a coach like, who's this idiot?
- 36:10Speaker 2: Take it?
- 36:11Speaker 4: Did he make you take me out? Or something like that,
- 36:13Speaker 4: a player says something to me like I hate you,
- 36:16Speaker 4: You're the worst. It's like, all right, fine, like you
- 36:18Speaker 4: came out of the game. I would hate it if
- 36:20Speaker 4: you came over to me and I'm like, oh, I'm
- 36:21Speaker 4: out of the game.
- 36:22Speaker 2: High five.
- 36:24Speaker 4: Like I have a hard time believing he said something
- 36:26Speaker 4: about Topper or one of his coaches that made him,
- 36:32Speaker 4: that made him take him or made him sit him
- 36:34Speaker 4: the next day.
- 36:37Speaker 3: I'm bad enough that it wouldn't just be a warning.
- 36:41Speaker 3: Or maybe there had been past comments.
- 36:43Speaker 1: I don't know, Oh yeah, there had to be more
- 36:45Speaker 1: to it. This couldn't have been the first time, right,
- 36:48Speaker 1: because there's no I don't know what you can because
- 36:50Speaker 1: no matter how mad you are in a moment and
- 36:52Speaker 1: you say things. Everyone said something in their life where
- 36:55Speaker 1: they're like, man, I probably shouldn't have said that, some
- 36:58Speaker 1: of us more than others. But in a baseball game
- 37:02Speaker 1: and in a baseball setting, people say stuff all the
- 37:05Speaker 1: time and they're like, dud. They just have word vomit
- 37:09Speaker 1: or whatever they comes to their head, they just vomit
- 37:10Speaker 1: it out. And then five minutes after the game is over,
- 37:13Speaker 1: you sit down and you think about it, and you
- 37:15Speaker 1: go into the managers obviously say you know what, Skip,
- 37:16Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I apologize, and you're like, okay, I forgive you.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Don't let it happen again. So this maybe wasn't the
- 37:23Speaker 1: first time something had happened again.
- 37:25Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 37:26Speaker 1: We're not there, and nobody seems to talk about it.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Nobody's talking about no.
- 37:30Speaker 3: But that is the question, and I don't think it
- 37:33Speaker 3: was asked Kratz. I didn't catch every back and forth
- 37:36Speaker 3: with reporters with Nick and Topper, But the key question
- 37:39Speaker 3: is was there a past incident with words exchanged, Because
- 37:47Speaker 3: to me, that helps tell the story because often that
- 37:49Speaker 3: is the case, it might not be. And then if
- 37:51Speaker 3: that's if there wasn't anything in the past that led
- 37:54Speaker 3: up to this, and you could debate if it was
- 37:57Speaker 3: really worth it and why the message was sent with
- 38:00Speaker 3: him saying, Hey, let's cool off, let's apologize to those
- 38:03Speaker 3: that need the apology, and then let's move on and
- 38:05Speaker 3: get you back in the lineup.
- 38:07Speaker 4: Hey, Jay, how many times did you ever yell at
- 38:10Speaker 4: a coach on the bench? I mean, per season, how
- 38:16Speaker 4: many times I yell at a coach? I didn't, ye,
- 38:17Speaker 4: I didn't yell at coaches very often.
- 38:19Speaker 2: I was.
- 38:20Speaker 1: I wasn't that guy. I wasn't a Now there was
- 38:22Speaker 1: times where I would go in their office and we'd
- 38:24Speaker 1: have a conversation, but I wouldn't you usually wouldn't. Yet,
- 38:27Speaker 1: I mean, I can't. I can only remember one or
- 38:31Speaker 1: two times where I was like, all right, I've I've
- 38:34Speaker 1: I said something to a coach I probably shouldn't have said.
- 38:36Speaker 1: But usually I didn't do it in front of people,
- 38:38Speaker 1: because I don't believe in fighting battles in the newspaper,
- 38:41Speaker 1: and I don't believe in fighting battles that people need
- 38:43Speaker 1: to know about it. I'd go and have a conversation, but
- 38:45Speaker 1: I it was the only I can only think of
- 38:47Speaker 1: one time where something happened with me and a coach,
- 38:50Speaker 1: and that where I was like, this isn't the way
- 38:53Speaker 1: things should be handled. Other than that, I mean, it wasn't.
- 38:56Speaker 1: It wasn't very often. I didn't see it happen very often.
- 38:58Speaker 1: I didn't see many players yell coaches. And I mean
- 39:01Speaker 1: I saw you know, guys every once in a while,
- 39:03Speaker 1: but it wasn't like a daily occurrence.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Pitching coach.
- 39:07Speaker 4: Pitching coach comes up to you is like, hey, j
- 39:10Speaker 4: why'd you why'd you call slider right there?
- 39:12Speaker 2: Dude hit a homer on it.
- 39:14Speaker 4: You never you never told him, Hey, you want to
- 39:16Speaker 4: you want to call the pitches like you want to
- 39:18Speaker 4: call it?
- 39:20Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also have a really good relationship.
- 39:22Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:22Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I was very lucky. Very
- 39:25Speaker 1: few cod pitching coaches that I played with ever came
- 39:27Speaker 1: up to me and said that. Don Cooper did it
- 39:29Speaker 1: to me one time, and I said, if you want
- 39:30Speaker 1: to call the pitches, great, But we had had conversations
- 39:33Speaker 1: before and he said, and I said, if you want
- 39:35Speaker 1: to call the pitches, call him. He goes, no, it's
- 39:37Speaker 1: too much pressure. I said, Okay, that's all I needed
- 39:39Speaker 1: to hear.
- 39:39Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 39:39Speaker 1: I'll go back to doing my job.
- 39:40Speaker 2: Now, right, And we moved on.
- 39:42Speaker 1: We moved on from there, right, But it was this
- 39:44Speaker 1: wasn't ever like, it wasn't a disrespectful thing.
- 39:47Speaker 2: It was just like, hey, if you want to do this,
- 39:48Speaker 2: I'm open to you doing it.
- 39:50Speaker 1: But I mean, I've seen players and coaches get into
- 39:52Speaker 1: it obviously, right, But I don't know. I just don't
- 39:58Speaker 1: know what you could say that you would have to
- 39:59Speaker 1: be bench the next day. I just don't know what
- 40:01Speaker 1: it would be that you wouldn't go in and apologize for.
- 40:05Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 40:05Speaker 3: I'm not you.
- 40:06Speaker 2: I'm not creative enough to come up with a reason
- 40:09Speaker 2: or a thing.
- 40:10Speaker 3: I don't know, Like it had to be beyond just
- 40:14Speaker 3: cursing him out right, That's what I'm saying, Like if
- 40:18Speaker 3: you just said like you bleep and bleep like okay, But.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Again, I don't I get I don't know this. But
- 40:24Speaker 1: to me, this doesn't seem like a one time thing
- 40:27Speaker 1: because again, I played with guys that have done stuff
- 40:29Speaker 1: and they don't and they make mistakes and they throw
- 40:31Speaker 1: something and it hit somebody, or they do something and
- 40:34Speaker 1: it leads to something. But you see the first time
- 40:36Speaker 1: the manager's like, okay, dude, that's it. You got your one,
- 40:39Speaker 1: don't let it happen again. If it happens again, then
- 40:41Speaker 1: something happens, right. It usually doesn't happen on the first time.
- 40:44Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that's what happened here, but it
- 40:47Speaker 1: had to be something really and and and I don't
- 40:50Speaker 1: know Nick Castiano is that great other than we've had
- 40:52Speaker 1: him on here and I've talked to him when I've
- 40:53Speaker 1: seen him, but he didn't seem like a guy to
- 40:55Speaker 1: go after a teammate and call like some teammate like, why.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Do you kill this guy in for me? Right?
- 41:00Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
- 41:00Speaker 1: It had to be something like where he just kept
- 41:02Speaker 1: saying to Topper, why you keep taking me out of
- 41:05Speaker 1: the game in the night thinning for defense?
- 41:06Speaker 2: What I could play defense? You don't think I can
- 41:08Speaker 2: play defense? Right?
- 41:10Speaker 1: And finally Topper was like enough, and the Phillies haven't
- 41:12Speaker 1: been playing great, so I mean, there's probably a lot
- 41:14Speaker 1: happening there.
- 41:15Speaker 3: And Nick Castillanos, he's one of the worst defensive outfielders
- 41:21Speaker 3: in baseball. It's true during the regular season, at least,
- 41:24Speaker 3: you know, he's a little better in the playoffs. He
- 41:26Speaker 3: even says that himself. But front offices us defensive metrics
- 41:31Speaker 3: and the eye test I mean defensive metrics. He's in
- 41:33Speaker 3: negative eight outs above average, which is one percentile. The
- 41:37Speaker 3: Phillies aren't wrong for taking them out for defense.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Many guys Swarber used to get taken out for defense, Yeah, Benny,
- 41:43Speaker 1: guys got taken I got taken out for defense one time,
- 41:45Speaker 1: and I did lose in my mind, but I was gone.
- 41:48Speaker 1: Oh it was the last It was the last game
- 41:50Speaker 1: of the year. I was with the Giants. I got
- 41:52Speaker 1: taken out for the second last game. Yeah, if Felipe
- 41:55Speaker 1: Olus managed, we were winning three to nothing, takes me out.
- 41:58Speaker 1: He takes our short stop out for defense of purposes,
- 42:01Speaker 1: and we lose the game on a Steve Finley grand
- 42:03Speaker 1: slam walk off his famous Dodger game to thineteen two
- 42:06Speaker 1: thousand and four, and then we and then we lost
- 42:09Speaker 1: the playoffs by one game.
- 42:10Speaker 2: I'm like, why did you take me out? And our shortstop?
- 42:15Speaker 1: Like, what what are we doing here? Yeah?
- 42:18Speaker 3: That's rough.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, what are we doing? We're winning three
- 42:21Speaker 1: nothings and I'm like, what are we doing?
- 42:25Speaker 2: Oh?
- 42:27Speaker 1: Okay, good answer, that's what he said. I mean, kind
- 42:31Speaker 1: of direct. I didn't really have an answers. I just
- 42:36Speaker 1: got walked I was so that was that was one
- 42:38Speaker 1: of the few times where I was like.
- 42:39Speaker 3: You were livid, yeah, because I'm like, we have to win.
- 42:42Speaker 1: We have to win this game. Yes, we're winning three
- 42:44Speaker 1: to nothing in the eighth, bottom of the ninth and
- 42:46Speaker 1: you take your catcher and your shortstop out in our
- 42:49Speaker 1: shortstop made a made an error and our catcher. I mean,
- 42:53Speaker 1: I never want to blame pitch calling, but crauch, you know,
- 42:56Speaker 1: when the catcher's rolling, you're shutting out a team. You
- 42:58Speaker 1: don't take that guy out because he's been back there.
- 43:00Speaker 1: I was out there Friday night. This is a Saturday game, right, like,
- 43:03Speaker 1: you don't take that guy out.
- 43:04Speaker 2: You let that guy roll.
- 43:05Speaker 3: And he turned into the coach from water Boy Crats
- 43:10Speaker 3: water Boy now the assistant coach who would who actually
- 43:15Speaker 3: didn't say anything. You remember you remember sleep.
- 43:21Speaker 2: Lose great manager? Oh yeah?
- 43:22Speaker 3: Where he just mumbled yeah, yeah.
- 43:29Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm sorry, but I don't know.
- 43:33Speaker 4: I feel like if we stay here longer, I feel
- 43:35Speaker 4: like a jill start remembering more times that he yelled
- 43:38Speaker 4: or was pissed at coaches, and maybe we'll just we
- 43:41Speaker 4: could stay on here longer and just just think about
- 43:44Speaker 4: it and talk about it. Maybe it would pop pop
- 43:46Speaker 4: up in his head different times that he may have
- 43:50Speaker 4: done more of a Nick Costiani's thing. Do they trade
- 43:53Speaker 4: him though we haven't even brought that up. Do they
- 43:56Speaker 4: trade Nick because of this situation?
- 43:58Speaker 3: Haven't they tried to trade him in the past?
- 44:01Speaker 4: He was in he was in the Tucker deals. That
- 44:03Speaker 4: was like supposedly it was bom Nick and I forget
- 44:07Speaker 4: who from from the bushes that he was going to
- 44:12Speaker 4: go for Kyle Tucker. You know how close that got
- 44:15Speaker 4: if that's true or not. Obviously, all rumors.
- 44:19Speaker 3: Is that rumors that are out there, rumors that you
- 44:21Speaker 3: heard internally, Like, is that if I get Googled that
- 44:24Speaker 3: would I see anything?
- 44:25Speaker 5: No?
- 44:26Speaker 2: Okay, no, that was that was Google.
- 44:28Speaker 3: You're saying from this past offseason when the Cubs won
- 44:31Speaker 3: the bid, the Phillies were involved and those two names
- 44:34Speaker 3: were involved.
- 44:35Speaker 2: That's that's what I remember reading. Yeah, I mean it
- 44:38Speaker 2: could have been a trolley.
- 44:39Speaker 3: Account, but right, right, Okay. Anyway, we do have a
- 44:46Speaker 3: show devoted to the Phillies. They will spend a good
- 44:49Speaker 3: chunk of time on this. We'll see if they have
- 44:51Speaker 3: any insight. Todd's a lackey, Jim Salisberry and Ruben Amara Junior.
- 44:56Speaker 3: You can see on the screen there. Jesus Lozardo is
- 44:58Speaker 3: not a regular host, but he was a guest recently.
- 45:00Speaker 3: But if you want to hear more from them, it's
- 45:02Speaker 3: called The Philly Show. It's part of the FT Network. Hey,
- 45:05Speaker 3: scary moment in the game yesterday. Blue Jay centerfielder Miles
- 45:09Speaker 3: Straw had to leave the game smashed into the wall.
- 45:12Speaker 3: But what stood out here is a great photo. It's
- 45:15Speaker 3: Josh Naylor out there on the field to check on him.
- 45:20Speaker 3: Andre Semenez his current teammate there as well. They were
- 45:23Speaker 3: all teammates in Cleveland. But the friend side of this,
- 45:27Speaker 3: to make sure that your friend is okay.
- 45:29Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's cool. And by the way, my astrow
- 45:34Speaker 1: remember he was traded because the they thought they were
- 45:37Speaker 1: getting Sazaki, right, Yes, they took him on from Cleveland
- 45:40Speaker 1: because they thought they were getting Sazaki. I do remember, right, Yeah,
- 45:44Speaker 1: But this is the human side of it. Josh Allen
- 45:46Speaker 1: on a different team. They played together for years in Cleveland,
- 45:48Speaker 1: Andrew sa Menez obviously, and you go check on your
- 45:50Speaker 1: pals man. Everyone seeing him get hurt, especially buddies of
- 45:52Speaker 1: your soda.
- 45:53Speaker 2: Good on you. Josh.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Plus he's in Canada's Canadian you know, he's probably thinking,
- 45:57Speaker 1: maybe if I give some good love, the Oilers could
- 45:59Speaker 1: stay alive for Game seven, But nope, Florida beat Canada again.
- 46:03Speaker 3: Hey, Miles Straw has been contributing here. I mean, you know,
- 46:07Speaker 3: he's more for his glove than his bat at this point.
- 46:11Speaker 3: But what has he got here this year? One hundred
- 46:13Speaker 3: thirty one played appearances and a six thirty two ops
- 46:19Speaker 3: seventy seven ops plus, so below average bat, but still
- 46:23Speaker 3: an elite defender. He is lightning fat, that's out above average.
- 46:29Speaker 3: And you know, limited games played. I mean he's less
- 46:32Speaker 3: than sixty fifty nine games played. He is at a
- 46:34Speaker 3: plus four. That's really good. He's ninety fourth percentile. What's
- 46:47Speaker 3: the beef? Padre's Dodgers happening all week? They love each other.
- 46:52Speaker 3: They started with pahes hit. He thought he was hit
- 46:54Speaker 3: because they thought he was stealing signs. That he thought
- 46:57Speaker 3: they thought that he was stealing signs.
- 46:59Speaker 2: He said that.
- 46:59Speaker 1: She said fast forward.
- 47:02Speaker 3: Game two, shoo Tani plunked. Dave Roberts said postgame he
- 47:07Speaker 3: thought the Padres threw at him intentionally, and that's why
- 47:09Speaker 3: he was upset. When the Dodgers were also issued a warning.
- 47:13Speaker 3: He also noted his frustration that he got ejected while
- 47:15Speaker 3: Shild was able to come out and talk to umpires
- 47:18Speaker 3: after the warnings before show, Hey, Tatis was hit. There's
- 47:23Speaker 3: the photo on Instagram story that show.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Take the picture of himself while he was hitting.
- 47:29Speaker 3: He took the picture and posted he's big, big on socials.
- 47:32Speaker 3: He likes to post for himself.
- 47:34Speaker 2: He's that good.
- 47:36Speaker 3: All right, So there it is. I will say this
- 47:38Speaker 3: was fine. I mean he he he took it, and
- 47:40Speaker 3: then he and then he smiled after the only guy
- 47:42Speaker 3: that would be like, oh cool, Like there's it's a
- 47:46Speaker 3: different respect level right with Japanese culture. He's not going
- 47:49Speaker 3: to like point at him to be like, screw you man.
- 47:53Speaker 3: But Tatis got plunked. Then Tany got hit.
- 47:56Speaker 1: Okay, but you gotta go back though, you gotta go
- 47:58Speaker 1: through the whole thing.
- 47:59Speaker 2: Pa, he got hit.
- 48:01Speaker 1: Then they show Mike Schultz saying who the f are you?
- 48:05Speaker 1: Right pie, He's basically saying like you, who are you?
- 48:09Speaker 1: And then Manny after the game said we wouldn't hit pies. Listen,
- 48:12Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this right now. I've caught before
- 48:16Speaker 1: and I've said that to hitters, like we we hitting you.
- 48:19Speaker 2: You're an out, dude, We don't.
- 48:20Speaker 1: We don't want to hit you, like literally, like you're
- 48:23Speaker 1: an out, like we want to pitch to you. We
- 48:25Speaker 1: hit you by mistake. Trust me, we were trying to
- 48:27Speaker 1: hit you. We would hit someone good, right. So, and
- 48:30Speaker 1: that's kind of what Shilton Manny were saying. But Pie
- 48:32Speaker 1: is just having a great year. Have you ever seen
- 48:34Speaker 1: the time of the sorta video of Kirk Bvaqua. If
- 48:37Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, google it. He's like Kurk Bvaqua.
- 48:41Speaker 1: I used to send a limo to get hit guys
- 48:43Speaker 1: like him out right to make sure he was in
- 48:45Speaker 1: the lineup so he didn't miss the game. That's the
- 48:48Speaker 1: certain guys. That's basically what they were saying. Yeah, and
- 48:50Speaker 1: I got no problem because this line has been around
- 48:52Speaker 1: baseball forever. We would hit you, you're out.
- 48:54Speaker 3: Pie has been on fire, four for four, two omers,
- 48:56Speaker 3: yesterday's second in the team in homers.
- 48:58Speaker 1: All that, But but yeah, hey, Mookie, Freddie will Smith,
- 49:02Speaker 1: Max One's he ta Oscar.
- 49:03Speaker 2: He's low on the tone.
- 49:04Speaker 3: Machado is a great point. There's plenty of guys to
- 49:06Speaker 3: hit that aren't Possi and then Travino hits Tatties.
- 49:09Speaker 1: So Navaskaz says, well, I gotta get somebody.
- 49:12Speaker 3: The problem I have is he missed first that you mess.
- 49:16Speaker 1: And then he got him on the second one. If
- 49:18Speaker 1: you're the umpires there, you see the first one, then
- 49:23Speaker 1: he hits him on the second one.
- 49:24Speaker 2: He's got to go.
- 49:24Speaker 1: If you're gonna give warnings, he's got to go because
- 49:26Speaker 1: the Dodgers then don't have a chance to get back anyway. Right,
- 49:31Speaker 1: That's it. That's where the mistakes led lies in the
- 49:33Speaker 1: fact that the umpires didn't that he missed on the
- 49:35Speaker 1: first one, and then the umpires when he got hit.
- 49:38Speaker 1: If you if you're giving warnings, you're saying he threw
- 49:41Speaker 1: at him on purpose. That's Dave roberts Argy.
- 49:43Speaker 2: Yes, sure, if that's the rules, see you later.
- 49:46Speaker 3: But that's what happens. Kratz. I feel like this is
- 49:48Speaker 3: a very classic MLB situation with umpires where we don't
- 49:53Speaker 3: have the retaliation game on point. So the warning gets
- 49:56Speaker 3: issued and it's like, yo, we we didn't even do it.
- 49:59Speaker 3: We didn't even do anything right.
- 50:03Speaker 4: I mean, they hit Tatis, so it was time to
- 50:08Speaker 4: get somebody back and it should have. It should have
- 50:11Speaker 4: ended there.
- 50:14Speaker 2: Fast.
- 50:14Speaker 4: Guys should have been gone. There's no I mean, come on,
- 50:17Speaker 4: if if, even if that was just the first pitch.
- 50:20Speaker 4: I feel like I'm pretty good at seeing when a
- 50:23Speaker 4: guy is throwing in a certain direction and then you know,
- 50:26Speaker 4: he just absolutely I mean the way he missed, the
- 50:28Speaker 4: way he finished it looked like he stepped right to
- 50:32Speaker 4: him to hit him. Wouldn't even not don't even talk
- 50:34Speaker 4: about the pitch before missed him. It was should have
- 50:39Speaker 4: should have been gone. Dave Roberts, there's no way Dave
- 50:42Speaker 4: can stay in that game. He has to be thrown
- 50:44Speaker 4: out because that's to me, it wasn't handled well by
- 50:47Speaker 4: the Empires, exactly right.
- 50:49Speaker 1: Dave got Dave's got to defend his star. Yeah, yeah,
- 50:52Speaker 1: of course my star got hit. You're giving us a
- 50:54Speaker 1: warning because you know what Dave was gonna go do.
- 50:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah, probably gonna hit Manny, probably gonna get Manny,
- 51:00Speaker 1: probably gonna go out man Or Tatist is getting one.
- 51:03Speaker 3: Do you think they're gonna go back at No? No, no, no,
- 51:05Speaker 3: I'm saying now it's done.
- 51:06Speaker 1: If there was no warnings issue, many aer Tatis was getting.
- 51:09Speaker 3: One, right, Is it done now? Or this kid.
- 51:11Speaker 1: Probably it's gotta be over now. But all it takes
- 51:15Speaker 1: is one guy to let one ball get away and
- 51:17Speaker 1: somebody getting not whacked, and then guess what, it starts
- 51:20Speaker 1: again and then Padres because the patters don't want to
- 51:24Speaker 1: They want to show that they're not scared of the
- 51:26Speaker 1: Dodgers and they don't want to be disrespected by the Dodgers.
- 51:29Speaker 1: So if they get hit, she'll and she'll learned from LaRussa.
- 51:31Speaker 1: LaRussa was like, you hit my guy, I'm hitting three
- 51:33Speaker 1: of yours, right, And that's the way ship was brought
- 51:36Speaker 1: up in the Cardinals organization, which is fine, but just
- 51:39Speaker 1: know that I think it's done because the dejections and
- 51:42Speaker 1: everything happened last night. But if one gets away, it
- 51:46Speaker 1: could start again. If someone gets hit, there's gonna be
- 51:49Speaker 1: some mouthy mouth because again the Padres don't want to
- 51:51Speaker 1: be thought of as looked as a little brother.
- 51:53Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be on again. Trip Gibson, by the way,
- 51:56Speaker 3: he tossed Doc, who you know was the guy who
- 52:00Speaker 3: told Max Muncy obstruction and had beef with some other
- 52:05Speaker 3: coach that led up to that that Max told us
- 52:07Speaker 3: about who was it right?
- 52:11Speaker 4: They did hit somebody. The Dodgers hit Iglasias later in
- 52:15Speaker 4: the game and they didn't throw them out, So I
- 52:18Speaker 4: thought the umpires handled that really well.
- 52:21Speaker 2: Ball got away. I wish I remember who was pitching
- 52:23Speaker 2: for the Dodgers.
- 52:24Speaker 3: It was, ah, man, they're not going after Iglesias.
- 52:32Speaker 2: They their Tarney.
- 52:35Speaker 4: Yeah, but then Manny, but and believe me, I've been
- 52:38Speaker 4: that guy that's gotten hit and I've been pissed and
- 52:41Speaker 4: teams have been like, we're not trying to hit you,
- 52:42Speaker 4: I know, but it still hurts. I don't want to
- 52:45Speaker 4: get hit, not that you're trying to hit me on purpose.
- 52:48Speaker 4: But when they hit Iglesias, many many came out. I
- 52:53Speaker 4: was like, oh what why? What about the warnings, Like, well,
- 52:57Speaker 4: that wasn't the that's not why they have the warnings out.
- 52:59Speaker 4: Guy can still get hit by pitchers. You just you're
- 53:02Speaker 4: not just gonna throw them out. You just have to
- 53:04Speaker 4: have some feel. So I thought the umpires had good
- 53:06Speaker 4: feel in that situation.
- 53:08Speaker 3: There you go, And for anyone that doesn't think that
- 53:11Speaker 3: the padres were throwing at Otani on purpose, you're insane.
- 53:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Now Travino Tatis, I don't know, he's hit him twice
- 53:20Speaker 1: now that's kind of twice in a week, so I
- 53:22Speaker 1: get it. I don't think, but he just throws that
- 53:24Speaker 1: turbo sinker that kind of gets away.
- 53:26Speaker 2: From every once in a while.
- 53:27Speaker 1: But if you don't think the Vesquez was throwing it
- 53:29Speaker 1: right at Otani and he missed, He's probably never had
- 53:32Speaker 1: to do that in his life. If you talk to
- 53:34Speaker 1: a picture and crowds, I think you've probably had this
- 53:37Speaker 1: conversation and they say it's so hard to hit a guy.
- 53:42Speaker 1: I'm like, you can throw a strike down and away
- 53:44Speaker 1: like nine out of ten times, but you can't hit
- 53:46Speaker 1: a guy.
- 53:46Speaker 2: All I could do is like move it over a
- 53:48Speaker 2: little bit.
- 53:48Speaker 1: They're like, it's so hard, Like it shouldn't be that hard.
- 53:51Speaker 2: You got a big target.
- 53:52Speaker 1: They're like, oh, I throw it in and he moves
- 53:53Speaker 1: out the way, all right, Well, then throw it right
- 53:55Speaker 1: behind it and then they move right into it.
- 53:57Speaker 4: Shouldn't be that try it should A pitcher explained it
- 53:59Speaker 4: to me one time, like I don't want it to
- 54:02Speaker 4: look like I'm actually throwing at him. So they want
- 54:05Speaker 4: to stride at the exact same place. Now this was
- 54:08Speaker 4: just one picture telling me this. They want to stride
- 54:10Speaker 4: at the exact same place and yank it. And that's
- 54:13Speaker 4: what he said, is so hard. I'm like, just the hitter.
- 54:18Speaker 4: Everybody knows you're hitting them. What I've always heard, put
- 54:22Speaker 4: it right behind their butt because nobody ever moves forward,
- 54:26Speaker 4: and they'll just move right back into it, or they'll
- 54:28Speaker 4: turn and their left butt cheek if they're a left
- 54:31Speaker 4: handed hitter, or their right butt cheek if they're a
- 54:33Speaker 4: right handed hitter.

- 55:49Speaker 3: Junior and Luis Anhell Acunya saying hello, embracing over a
- 55:54Speaker 3: second when Acunya actually made a sick play in this
- 55:57Speaker 3: game sitcatch in right field and Luis Anhel who was
- 56:04Speaker 3: called up last year obviously when they faced the Braves,
- 56:07Speaker 3: didn't have a Kunya his brother Ronald until now.
- 56:11Speaker 1: Great school. Be able to play with your brother like that.
- 56:13Speaker 1: That was a great game. Last big win for the
- 56:15Speaker 1: Braise last night they come back and big win, extra
- 56:18Speaker 1: innings win.
- 56:19Speaker 3: For them, so big not for Marshall Zuna and some
- 56:22Speaker 3: fans wanted Edmund Diez in it's like they wanted him
- 56:26Speaker 3: in that pocket of the lineup. Red Garrett's been so
- 56:30Speaker 3: good for them this year this year, so yeah, its
- 56:34Speaker 3: just that stuff happened sometimes.
- 56:36Speaker 4: Cratz post game post game with Francisco Alvarez, he was
- 56:39Speaker 4: very honest about how he told Red Garrett to throw
- 56:43Speaker 4: a different pitch than what Reid wanted to throw, and
- 56:48Speaker 4: Frankie was like, he was like, I made the wrong decision,
- 56:52Speaker 4: he said, and I'm pissed about it. Read one of
- 56:54Speaker 4: the I think Reid wanted to throw the heater and
- 56:59Speaker 4: I forget and he wanted to splitter. So they had
- 57:02Speaker 4: the conversation and he's like, no, I changed it. I
- 57:05Speaker 4: changed it.
- 57:05Speaker 2: I'm the one that made the mistake. It was cool.
- 57:07Speaker 2: It was cool to hear from a really from a
- 57:09Speaker 2: young catcher. Yeah.
- 57:11Speaker 3: I like that stuff. Also, by the way, jerks and
- 57:13Speaker 3: profile rehab assignment, He'll be back to ly second.
- 57:15Speaker 1: Just to understand going to rehab assignment, when you're suspended
- 57:20Speaker 1: to rehabit expending.
- 57:21Speaker 3: Well then it's really more than eighty because.
- 57:23Speaker 1: That's what you're suspended for eighty games, and then when
- 57:26Speaker 1: the eighty game starts, then you can start right.
- 57:29Speaker 3: I don't disagree. Now we have a minute here, Boba Schett,
- 57:34Speaker 3: Addison Barger well, back to back action walk off for
- 57:39Speaker 3: the Blue Jays, three games back of the Yankees in
- 57:42Speaker 3: the Al East, Razor two and a half back.
- 57:46Speaker 2: Blue Jays are coming the Rais Raise and the Blue Jays.
- 57:50Speaker 3: Which team do you like better? Razor, Blue Jays? Like
- 57:52Speaker 3: the Blue Jays?
- 57:53Speaker 2: You like the Rays?
- 57:54Speaker 1: Yeah, Florida go, I like the.
- 57:55Speaker 3: Blue Yeah, I like the Blue Jays better. If Bose
- 58:00Speaker 3: doing that, you need the bow from You need Bow
- 58:03Speaker 3: to hit twenty twenty three not twenty twenty four. Yeah,
- 58:07Speaker 3: you need this bow not the first month, Bo, the
- 58:09Speaker 3: second month bow of this season. And then Barger has
- 58:13Speaker 3: come out of nowhere.
- 58:14Speaker 4: Of course, Shelby watch Barger. If you haven't watched Barger hit,
- 58:21Speaker 4: there is no more personification of let it eat kid,
- 58:26Speaker 4: because this guy is letting it eat every single pitch.
- 58:31Speaker 4: His helmet's coming off. That was freaking awesome. But Bo,
- 58:35Speaker 4: what I loved about Bow If you watch some of
- 58:37Speaker 4: the games, he's gotting back to being able to hit
- 58:40Speaker 4: different pitches to the opposite field and being able to
- 58:43Speaker 4: drive the ball to the gaps and driving runs in.
- 58:47Speaker 4: He's he's coming up clutching big RBI situations for this team,
- 58:50Speaker 4: and I think he's he's getting after it.
- 59:07Speaker 3: All right, let's lap first off. Reminder again, check out
- 59:10Speaker 3: our chap ECC. That contest is running for a few
- 59:13Speaker 3: more days, supposed to me and make Kratz laugh. Try
- 59:16Speaker 3: to win two free tickets. We just saw Ben Rice
- 59:20Speaker 3: is in the lineup tonight for the Yankees at catcher.
- 59:24Speaker 3: Ryan Yarborough joins the show pretty frequently, so maybe we'll
- 59:27Speaker 3: see soon about it. That's what I'm saying. Yarbs gets
- 59:29Speaker 3: to you know.
- 59:30Speaker 1: What, yours is not a hard thrower. It's more of
- 59:33Speaker 1: a control guy. And I think Yarbs calls his own game,
- 59:36Speaker 1: doesn't he with the pitch comp so I think they'll
- 59:38Speaker 1: be trying to ease him in rather than give him
- 59:40Speaker 1: a guy that throws a little harder and it might
- 59:42Speaker 1: not call his own game, or a guy who hasn't
- 59:44Speaker 1: caught in a while.
- 59:48Speaker 4: They got to bring in some relievers, and every reliever
- 59:50Speaker 4: on the Yankees throws a billion. Ian Hamilton doesn't even
- 59:53Speaker 4: look at you when he's gonna throw. He's just like,
- 59:55Speaker 4: you know, he's full meathead mode.
- 59:57Speaker 2: He's just like.
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: Just throwing fuel yardbor is easy to catch, cut her
- 1:00:05Speaker 4: in change up away.
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: That's why you put him in a position to succeed.
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: Makes sense on the way out, crats hats.
- 1:00:15Speaker 4: Because I'm a show hey hater, Dodger hater. That's why
- 1:00:19Speaker 4: I one the Dodgers. It's the best series right now.
- 1:00:21Speaker 4: If you're not turning your TV set to channel Dodgers
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: and Padres right now.
