- 2:39Speaker 4: I got you, I gotcha, all right, all right, so
- 2:41Speaker 4: we're excited.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Any questions for us, you know, we're to ask us
- 2:44Speaker 2: chat bcc ig wherever if you have questions about how
- 2:48Speaker 2: to show up, what time, all of that. All right,
- 2:50Speaker 2: let's charge big bounce back series for the Bronx Bombers.
- 2:57Speaker 2: They sweep the Mariners. They were gotting no hit and
- 2:59Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they figured out that bullpen
- 3:02Speaker 2: including Andre's munos, little tip action going on. It was
- 3:06Speaker 2: incredible what happened.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Listen, This wasn't the first time I've seen the the
- 3:11Speaker 4: arm movement there at second base, Like I I've.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Never seen that before.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Usually, when you have a tip, like you let one
- 3:18Speaker 4: arm hang, you let the right arm hang, you touch
- 3:21Speaker 4: your helmet you know, you stand still, and they were
- 3:25Speaker 4: they were like, let's let let it, let it be known.
- 3:27Speaker 3: It was late too.
- 3:30Speaker 4: I don't know what you're do in that situation because
- 3:32Speaker 4: they're not showing signs, you know, so it's like he
- 3:36Speaker 4: must be getting it from behind. I still don't know
- 3:38Speaker 4: how they found it. I didn't really look into it
- 3:40Speaker 4: that much. But you know, those arms are moving at
- 3:44Speaker 4: second base and oh god, it's incredible.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Have you seen that?
- 3:49Speaker 3: No, I've never seen that.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Like because usually okay, just to explain to people, so
- 3:53Speaker 2: you've got who is that on that on that call
- 3:56Speaker 2: at second base?
- 3:56Speaker 3: That was Grisham, so trank.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Grisham's that second base crat and he is not being
- 4:02Speaker 2: subtle to indicate to the batter what pitch is being
- 4:05Speaker 2: thrown by Andres Munos. I mean they're doing it almost
- 4:08Speaker 2: like you're looking for someone in the crowd and you're like, hey,
- 4:10Speaker 2: I'm over here. Usually it's like some very subtle sign
- 4:16Speaker 2: right that you get to your teammate to not make
- 4:18Speaker 2: it obvious. So what did you think of this approach?
- 4:22Speaker 2: And do you think this could be more common in
- 4:24Speaker 2: the game where players are just like screwed. I don't
- 4:26Speaker 2: care I'm just gonna tell the guy what I know.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Well, who did it before? Was that Patrick Bailey did
- 4:31Speaker 1: it to Pavetta. I'm not sure who was at second,
- 4:35Speaker 1: but he was like he was just like he was
- 4:38Speaker 1: just like looking over over his like and then he
- 4:41Speaker 1: would he would signal. So I don't. I don't. That's
- 4:45Speaker 1: why when I watched it live and I know I've
- 4:48Speaker 1: read different things about it, and I'm still not like
- 4:51Speaker 1: for me, it's not conclusive what they were doing or
- 4:53Speaker 1: what they saw exactly, because somebody was saying that you know,
- 4:57Speaker 1: they were getting information from first two they could see it,
- 5:01Speaker 1: but they said like in in game. I told my son,
- 5:06Speaker 1: I was like, why would they be that obvious? Like
- 5:11Speaker 1: why would you have it? And you're that obvious? Except
- 5:15Speaker 1: that it was so linked. So if maybe the first
- 5:20Speaker 1: baseman because if you look, Munnos had his glove like
- 5:25Speaker 1: this and he was really tucked. Obviously over there is
- 5:29Speaker 1: the second baseman. He was really tucked, but I think
- 5:32Speaker 1: it was farther back here. So now behind me is
- 5:37Speaker 1: the runner on first. So if it's a runner on
- 5:39Speaker 1: first and a runner on second, could the runner on
- 5:43Speaker 1: first be relaying it to the runner on second, who
- 5:45Speaker 1: then is relaying it to the hitter because with lefties
- 5:48Speaker 1: up it's hard for them. You can't see what a
- 5:51Speaker 1: guy on first is doing. But if you can see
- 5:53Speaker 1: it from first because they're looking over the shoulder, possibly
- 5:58Speaker 1: that's where I was at. But I mean Muon was
- 6:00Speaker 1: digging deep in there. As a catcher, you can't do anything.
- 6:04Speaker 1: You're sitting there like, oh crap. They totally have the
- 6:08Speaker 1: pitches and he's not throwing strikes. It's like a double whammie.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I can't. It's not like we can change our signs.
- 6:15Speaker 3: He was.
- 6:16Speaker 1: He was up a creek right there.
- 6:17Speaker 2: You can change pictures.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Yeah, you can change pictures. You can, you know, throw
- 6:22Speaker 4: one up and in let them know that. They're not
- 6:23Speaker 4: happy about that. But also I think with Kratz, I
- 6:27Speaker 4: like your idea, but you got to be like split
- 6:30Speaker 4: second fast on all that stuff. I think guys are
- 6:33Speaker 4: at second base they found something in, you know, in
- 6:37Speaker 4: their chats before the game, the meetings. Hey, guys, if
- 6:40Speaker 4: you're at second base, look where his hand, his positioning goes.
- 6:43Speaker 3: Give him the sign.
- 6:44Speaker 4: I mean, at the end of the day, you can't
- 6:46Speaker 4: see what the catcher's give him because he's not given
- 6:48Speaker 4: a sign, so might as well be not as discreet.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Let the world know, even if it's late, so then
- 6:53Speaker 4: you could slow down or speed up. But the runner
- 6:56Speaker 4: at second base they had something. They've had something on
- 6:58Speaker 4: a couple guys like that, and now you know, you're
- 7:02Speaker 4: starting to see it a lot more. They're trying, they're
- 7:04Speaker 4: they're flying away, fly away. I don't know what you
- 7:06Speaker 4: call that thing, but it worked, It worked, and they
- 7:10Speaker 4: won the game. So you take whatever you can get.
- 7:15Speaker 3: All right.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Harry's is going to get an award here MVP in
- 7:17Speaker 2: the shaving world and AJ if you want to equate
- 7:20Speaker 2: it to things that we talk about. It's not expensive
- 7:25Speaker 2: and it's super versatile, right the company itself, because there's
- 7:30Speaker 2: other products that you can get on the site, do odorate,
- 7:32Speaker 2: body wash, et cetera. But for your everyday shaving needs,
- 7:36Speaker 2: Harry's has you covered. And you look at the pricing,
- 7:38Speaker 2: you look at the quality, and you're like, wait, why
- 7:40Speaker 2: was I using the old classic brand for a long time.
- 7:44Speaker 5: Listen as somebody right now that needs a Harry's, I've
- 7:47Speaker 5: just been lazy. Harry's. I have plenty of them lined
- 7:50Speaker 5: up or need to use. You can use them for
- 7:51Speaker 5: more than one shave, which is huge for me, and
- 7:53Speaker 5: the pricing is right. I gotta go get my Harries
- 7:56Speaker 5: because my neck beard is sick. But Harry's will fix that.
- 7:59Speaker 5: It'll line me up straight and no bumps, no cuts.
- 8:01Speaker 5: It's exactly what I need for a great price.

- 8:10Speaker 2: dot com slash foul. That's our exclusive link, Harry's dot
- 8:13Speaker 2: com slash foul for a six dollars trial set.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Todd, you and I have been in pregame meetings. We've
- 8:18Speaker 1: been in pregame meetings with the Yankees. I'm not gonna
- 8:22Speaker 1: blow up their spot. But the guys who are doing that,
- 8:26Speaker 1: the guys who are looking for tips on pitchers, whether
- 8:30Speaker 1: it's from second, whether it's from you know, how they
- 8:34Speaker 1: set or it's a double set, their foot movement, anything,
- 8:38Speaker 1: they have their own special section in the Hitters meeting,
- 8:42Speaker 1: and you've seen it, Todd, Like these guys they get
- 8:45Speaker 1: a ton of stuff. Is it all? Some of it's
- 8:48Speaker 1: kind of like what do you say and guard he
- 8:53Speaker 1: would always be like, I see it, Yep, I totally
- 8:56Speaker 1: see it. I'm like, I don't see it. You're not playing.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it's everywhere.
- 9:03Speaker 4: If they if they find something, they're gonna have a
- 9:05Speaker 4: video on it, and it's up to you as a
- 9:07Speaker 4: player to either take it serious or want to do it,
- 9:10Speaker 4: and if not, you move on and get ready to
- 9:12Speaker 4: hit the baseball.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Would they be like, you see when it's slider, his
- 9:16Speaker 2: glove is held at a sixty eight degree angle instead
- 9:19Speaker 2: of sixty seven.
- 9:20Speaker 4: It would it would have to be like here to
- 9:23Speaker 4: hear like something so obvious. And I think it was
- 9:26Speaker 4: that obviously. If I was to look back and take
- 9:28Speaker 4: like an hour to kind of dissect what he was doing, Kratzy,
- 9:31Speaker 4: you're really good at it too, Like it would it
- 9:33Speaker 4: seems like it wouldn't take that long because it looked
- 9:36Speaker 4: really really something visible because they were they were doing
- 9:40Speaker 4: it a lot.
- 9:41Speaker 1: So and if I was, you know, there's a lot
- 9:43Speaker 1: of things. Pictures, you know, some pictures have some pictures
- 9:47Speaker 1: have this thing on their on their glove for a
- 9:51Speaker 1: reason because their finger guys, so they put their finger
- 9:55Speaker 1: in there. Now you can't see when that finger moves
- 9:58Speaker 1: where if it's above there, you can see where that
- 10:01Speaker 1: finger moves because they're digging for a different pitch. Or
- 10:05Speaker 1: some guys I would even tell some pitchers like they
- 10:08Speaker 1: have their name, they have their name right there. Well
- 10:11Speaker 1: when they come set, if you see their name tilted, oh,
- 10:17Speaker 1: now it's a lot easier. Or if you don't see
- 10:19Speaker 1: their name, you know, it turns out the screen. There's
- 10:22Speaker 1: so many different things, and when you have people dedicated
- 10:26Speaker 1: to do that, you find it and look what it did.
- 10:30Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just knew this is an All star.
- 10:32Speaker 1: He's got a one and a half era below one
- 10:36Speaker 1: whip on the season, like this is this is a
- 10:39Speaker 1: tip that everybody else is like, why don't we have
- 10:42Speaker 1: this tip? We want this too, you know the astros
- 10:44Speaker 1: are like it doesn't matter.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Well, everyone's gonna be looking obviously, and now he has
- 10:50Speaker 2: to do his homework and try and figure out what
- 10:52Speaker 2: it was and fix it because yeah, like you mentioned
- 10:53Speaker 2: Kratz and there's there was a good article in the
- 10:56Speaker 2: Athletic talking about how yet not first but second base.
- 11:01Speaker 2: You know, guys at both spots were indicating when they
- 11:05Speaker 2: knew he was going to throw a slider, and that's
- 11:07Speaker 2: where you were getting the very obvious arms in the air.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Brendan Coody and Chris Kershner by the way, putting that
- 11:13Speaker 2: article together also, I mean, when it's that obvious, the
- 11:16Speaker 2: Mariners are on top of it too, you know. Kyle
- 11:18Speaker 2: Riley's like, obviously they weren't making it very discreet when
- 11:22Speaker 2: he was tipping the slider in the ninth and the
- 11:25Speaker 2: Yankees were being no hit through seven innings, Brian wu
- 11:29Speaker 2: All Star looking like a stud, and then they cracked
- 11:32Speaker 2: the bullpen. It started with Matt Brash and then Andres Munos.
- 11:36Speaker 2: So here's my follow up, Todd father Andres Munos is
- 11:40Speaker 2: I don't know, probably twenty eight or something. I'll look
- 11:43Speaker 2: it up in a second. Yep, he's got a long
- 11:46Speaker 2: career left to go. Why would you make it so
- 11:49Speaker 2: obvious that we all know it's a tip that he
- 11:51Speaker 2: has to fix, versus making it super super discreet. And
- 11:55Speaker 2: this is a team that you could battle for years
- 11:57Speaker 2: with their closer and we might have been able to
- 12:00Speaker 2: look at the Yanks. I mean, like for some reason,
- 12:01Speaker 2: the Yanks they must have something. They always get him,
- 12:04Speaker 2: but we don't know. But we don't know. Maybe they
- 12:05Speaker 2: just have good success against him. They literally just told
- 12:08Speaker 2: the world this guy's giving away a slider and now
- 12:11Speaker 2: he's gonna fix it. It's major League Baseball.
- 12:13Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know pictures are They're accustomed to doing
- 12:17Speaker 4: their little quirks, their little things.
- 12:19Speaker 3: It's just a simple adjustment.
- 12:20Speaker 4: I mean, whatever he wants to do, what he wants
- 12:23Speaker 4: to come set here each time, or he wants to
- 12:26Speaker 4: bring it closer to his.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Chest, why did they give it away? So this is
- 12:30Speaker 2: my question, why did he give it the Yanks? Like,
- 12:33Speaker 2: do you guys does the other team on? No, no, no,
- 12:36Speaker 2: I know that, But I'm saying, like, what if what
- 12:37Speaker 2: if you did? Like when there are things that don't
- 12:40Speaker 2: get a little what if you just did one of
- 12:42Speaker 2: these things? And then wait, what if it's the Yanks
- 12:44Speaker 2: and the Mariners meeting up in the playoffs this year
- 12:46Speaker 2: and they could have smacked him one or two more
- 12:48Speaker 2: times without him noticing. Why did they make it so
- 12:51Speaker 2: damn obvious? Isn't that the reason? Why make it subtle?
- 12:54Speaker 2: Like when you guys would see a tip right and
- 12:57Speaker 2: there's a guy at second that is giving the signs waight.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Most of the time, I'm for the average person watching
- 13:02Speaker 2: or even for a team they don't know, because that's
- 13:04Speaker 2: what signs are for. Why did they do this and say, hey,
- 13:07Speaker 2: this is the only time we're ever going to be
- 13:09Speaker 2: able to smash Munos in this very way.
- 13:11Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a really good question. I'm not sure.
- 13:14Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
- 13:15Speaker 2: A season game.
- 13:17Speaker 1: I need you to choose. I need you to choose.
- 13:19Speaker 1: It's one of two things. Either Belly who else out there? Belly, Domiguez,
- 13:24Speaker 1: and Grisham were the three guys that were on second.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Either they were all so beamed out, so caffeinated out
- 13:31Speaker 1: that they were just like, I don't care, we got it.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Or maybe everybody's deeked. Maybe everybody including the quote Yankee
- 13:42Speaker 1: source that somebody said was tipping and they didn't have anything,
- 13:46Speaker 1: but they know that pitchers, catchers, everybody's paranoid about giving
- 13:54Speaker 1: a tip away and they're all laughing at everybody, including
- 13:58Speaker 1: foul Territory because we didn't have anything. Dude's nasty just
- 14:02Speaker 1: wasn't throwing strikes.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Wait, so you think he doesn't have anything, and then
- 14:06Speaker 2: they're just doing that to mess with him because the
- 14:08Speaker 2: season series is over, right, they played each other in
- 14:10Speaker 2: two series already, So the next time they would match
- 14:12Speaker 2: up would be in the playoffs. That's my thing is
- 14:15Speaker 2: I guess I get it if they don't have something,
- 14:17Speaker 2: but it seems like they did. And if they do that,
- 14:22Speaker 2: why would you do that? This is a good team,
- 14:24Speaker 2: they might play them in the playoffs.
- 14:26Speaker 4: This isn't the first time they've done it either. I've
- 14:28Speaker 4: seen it a couple of times.
- 14:29Speaker 2: Where they've made it. Obviously, ye, why would you do that?
- 14:32Speaker 3: Maybe you actually know. Maybe they're just trying to get
- 14:35Speaker 3: in the head.
- 14:36Speaker 2: That I like see that. I like, right Kratz, if
- 14:39Speaker 2: you're facing a closer who you just cannot beat.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Right.
- 14:42Speaker 2: So let's say the Yanks are facing Yan Durant. I
- 14:45Speaker 2: don't know if they have good numbers or not against
- 14:47Speaker 2: him specifically some of their big boys. But let's say
- 14:49Speaker 2: they're facing him, right, and they just start doing this,
- 14:52Speaker 2: and then they have a good inning. They're gonna be like, guys,
- 14:54Speaker 2: we got to switch something. They're honest. I like that
- 14:56Speaker 2: game some ship.
- 14:57Speaker 1: See I would be if you're telling me which side
- 15:01Speaker 1: of the argument I'm on, I'm on that side. Wow,
- 15:05Speaker 1: I'm on that side of the argument. And in fact,
- 15:08Speaker 1: I will reach out to somebody to see if I'm
- 15:11Speaker 1: right or wrong, because he's probably watching the show.
- 15:15Speaker 2: Okay, that's crazy to me. That's the one other part
- 15:19Speaker 2: I wanted to get to. I probably should have brought
- 15:20Speaker 2: it up sooner. But if I've got something, I'm not
- 15:23Speaker 2: telling you.
- 15:24Speaker 3: This is.
- 15:25Speaker 2: This is what AJ says on the show all the time.
- 15:26Speaker 2: He said that guys are friends with guys in the league,
- 15:29Speaker 2: and sometimes they won't even tell them their tip until
- 15:32Speaker 2: their career is over because they'll smash them. Right. You
- 15:34Speaker 2: might have a buddy in the division and you pitched
- 15:37Speaker 2: with him in the or he pitched in the past
- 15:39Speaker 2: and he was on your team, but now he's somewhere else,
- 15:41Speaker 2: and then the team has a tip, and then post career,
- 15:44Speaker 2: the friend will be like, yeah, you had a tip,
- 15:45Speaker 2: by the way, and the dude it's like, are you
- 15:47Speaker 2: serious on your friend and he's like, yeah, but you're
- 15:50Speaker 2: And I'm a filly man.
- 15:52Speaker 3: It's tough. We'll see what happened.
- 15:53Speaker 2: That's spy games right there. I like it all right,
- 15:56Speaker 2: So to be continued perhaps, And I hope that the
- 15:58Speaker 2: Yankees meet up with the Mariners in the playoffs, so
- 16:01Speaker 2: that'd be a nice little matchup. How you doing, Hey,
- 16:04Speaker 2: a little more news for the Yanks. Clark Schmidt is
- 16:08Speaker 2: having his Tommy John surgery today. I mean most surgeries
- 16:11Speaker 2: in the morning, so he probably already had it. Sucks
- 16:14Speaker 2: for him, of course, and for the Yanks and their
- 16:16Speaker 2: rotation depth. But we had talked about the news I
- 16:19Speaker 2: think a couple of days ago, and usually you get
- 16:21Speaker 2: this done as quick as possible because you want to
- 16:23Speaker 2: try and get them back as soon as possible. But realistically, Kratz,
- 16:28Speaker 2: it's the few day difference doesn't really matter. He's not
- 16:31Speaker 2: coming back until twenty twenty seven.
- 16:32Speaker 1: No, we might have this discussion with Brandon Woodruff. Maybe
- 16:36Speaker 1: the few days does matter. Maybe maybe it matters. He doesn't.
- 16:40Speaker 1: He gets it in the morning today, he doesn't to
- 16:42Speaker 1: wait till the weekend. Does that extra three day to me?
- 16:45Speaker 1: In surgery and rehab, every day matters, but well as
- 16:49Speaker 1: big wu he just went through. He just went through
- 16:51Speaker 1: a big rehab. But I doubt we see him next year.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's July and the timetable. Is this
- 16:59Speaker 2: his first?
- 17:00Speaker 1: For a second, I don't know that he had one before. Okay, sure,
- 17:04Speaker 1: I don't remember him having one before.
- 17:06Speaker 2: He's first, and it's not an internal brace. It's I
- 17:09Speaker 2: think fourteen to sixteen months. It's that long, I think so.
- 17:13Speaker 1: So now they're taking it that long.
- 17:15Speaker 2: Yes, right, So if it's let's say the fourteen months, Okay,
- 17:19Speaker 2: we're in July. That takes you to the end of
- 17:21Speaker 2: the season.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Oh yeah, No, you're not playing no rehab.
- 17:26Speaker 2: You're gonna come back September twentieth. I mean, what do
- 17:29Speaker 2: we doing? Aj We're in Vegas right now and I
- 17:34Speaker 2: have not had a lot of time to eat during
- 17:36Speaker 2: the day. No, what could we do?
- 17:38Speaker 1: I could? I would love a HUEL right now.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Vanilla fuel would go down perfectly because I have to
- 17:42Speaker 5: skip meals because I'm too busy doing what you do
- 17:45Speaker 5: in Vegas, which is not eat.
- 17:46Speaker 1: I need a quick replacement, and Heuel is the perfect thing.

- 18:31Speaker 2: Get after it. We're looking ahead to the weekend and
- 18:34Speaker 2: the debut of top astros prospect Bryce Matthews. So, their
- 18:39Speaker 2: top prospect entering the season was Cam Smith, who they
- 18:42Speaker 2: traded in the Kyle tuckerfel and Cam Smith has really
- 18:44Speaker 2: come on the scene now next up is Bryce Matthews.
- 18:49Speaker 2: So Brian mctiger broke the news yesterday. He said he's
- 18:51Speaker 2: slashing two eighty three four hundred on base for seventy
- 18:54Speaker 2: six slug He is breaking at triple A. Also has
- 18:58Speaker 2: ten dingers and twenty five ol in bases, playing mostly
- 19:01Speaker 2: second okay, and he was set to play in the
- 19:04Speaker 2: Futures Game. It's a great phone call. Hey, actually, we're
- 19:08Speaker 2: not gonna We're not gonna send you out there.
- 19:12Speaker 4: You're going to the big oh man, it's like the
- 19:15Speaker 4: modern day Jeff Kent. The guy hits homers, he runs,
- 19:18Speaker 4: and he's a beast, gets on base all the time here.
- 19:21Speaker 4: So this is fantastic for a Houston Astro team that's
- 19:24Speaker 4: doing pretty darn good right now. They're coming on strong
- 19:28Speaker 4: and it just seems like when they're out of the woods,
- 19:29Speaker 4: all of a sudden, boom, something just clicks again. They
- 19:32Speaker 4: go on to free of beating very good teams left
- 19:35Speaker 4: and right, like the Dodgers for one, and this is
- 19:38Speaker 4: another breath of fresh air. It's like having a second
- 19:40Speaker 4: or third win right now for this team, another key
- 19:43Speaker 4: cog that you know should help them along the way
- 19:46Speaker 4: getting into the playoffs.
- 19:47Speaker 2: No, you're a Don Alvarez for a good chunk of
- 19:49Speaker 2: the season at this point, and yet the team is
- 19:51Speaker 2: humming there in first place. Jose Al two vay has
- 19:54Speaker 2: been a little bit Dah's a little bit of second base.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Obviously outfield was an inter experiments, not for everybody, but
- 20:02Speaker 2: it still is. Yeah, but this is the guy. I mean,
- 20:04Speaker 2: they're hoping this is their second basement for the next
- 20:07Speaker 2: ten years. With's matocrats, a lot of punch outs, a
- 20:12Speaker 2: lot of punch outs, in the bushes.
- 20:13Speaker 1: I get it, you know, I think his walk ray
- 20:16Speaker 1: is I think he's got like fifty walks in like
- 20:20Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty plate appearances. It's almost had one
- 20:23Speaker 1: hundred punchouts already. I get it. He's got ten dangers,
- 20:27Speaker 1: you know, it's not like a huge number of dangers
- 20:29Speaker 1: per plate appearance. But I just punch outs in the
- 20:33Speaker 1: minor leagues, especially now with the way the Triple A
- 20:35Speaker 1: pitching is, like the gap between Triple A pitching and
- 20:39Speaker 1: big LEA pitching is expanding. You're coming to the big leagues,
- 20:43Speaker 1: You're it's you can't. You can't run away from strikeouts.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I've seen very few people go to the big leagues
- 20:50Speaker 1: and strike out less. It's usually some type of uptick.
- 20:54Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to see. But he clearly controls
- 20:58Speaker 1: the strike zone. Well it's just some kind of swing
- 21:01Speaker 1: and miss or I doubt it's chased because he walks
- 21:04Speaker 1: quite a bit. So we'll see.
- 21:06Speaker 4: There's an adjustment. And always people always talk about I'm
- 21:09Speaker 4: not sticking up for him. I agree with you on
- 21:10Speaker 4: the strikeout thing. It's just going to lead to more.
- 21:13Speaker 4: But there's an adjustment that's going to have to be
- 21:15Speaker 4: made as you go up there. Yeah, is he ready?
- 21:18Speaker 4: Of course he's ready. But it is a different ballgame
- 21:23Speaker 4: in the major leagues. These guys are crafty, they know
- 21:26Speaker 4: what to throw. They know they'll throw three in a
- 21:28Speaker 4: row in a spot that you know it was a
- 21:30Speaker 4: ball and one of the you chase one of them,
- 21:32Speaker 4: they got you by the hook.
- 21:33Speaker 3: So again it's going to be an adjustment.
- 21:35Speaker 4: But this guy deserves to be up there, and you know,
- 21:39Speaker 4: I can't wait to see what he does.
- 21:41Speaker 2: So he was a guest on Crush City Territory with
- 21:45Speaker 2: Chandler Rome. I think it was a couple months back.
- 21:48Speaker 2: We had a little clip from them talking about draft night.
- 21:51Speaker 6: What's it like, you know, growing up in the Houston
- 21:54Speaker 6: area and then finding out like, oh, the local team
- 21:58Speaker 6: is going to draft me. You mentioned, you know, wanting
- 22:00Speaker 6: family and friends to see you. Like what's going through
- 22:04Speaker 6: your head on draft night?
- 22:05Speaker 2: Like that?
- 22:07Speaker 7: At the beginning, like my range was like twenty eight
- 22:13Speaker 7: to fifty four, so like I didn't really have my
- 22:18Speaker 7: hopes on any place, Like it was like whoever drafts
- 22:23Speaker 7: me is, Like that's all I wanted was to get drafted.
- 22:27Speaker 7: It didn't really like it wasn't really a team or
- 22:30Speaker 7: whatever because like, you don't know, and dude, when it happened,
- 22:36Speaker 7: it was just like I couldn't even put in the words.
- 22:40Speaker 2: It was crazy.
- 22:42Speaker 7: Just have like my family and like my best friends here.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Just it was great.
- 22:46Speaker 7: It was so much fun, just like to be celebrated
- 22:49Speaker 7: and it was a lot of fun.
- 22:51Speaker 2: I still can't really put into words.
- 22:54Speaker 3: That's cool.
- 22:55Speaker 2: That was with Tyler Stafford and Chandler Rome Crush City Territory,
- 22:58Speaker 2: which covers the Astros times a week part of the
- 23:01Speaker 2: Ft Network.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Yesday, I was just gonna say, Bryce, Bryce, better understand
- 23:07Speaker 1: he's playing for free these first this homestand oh yeah,
- 23:11Speaker 1: tell me Todd, tell me you didn't play for three
- 23:14Speaker 1: when you came to Philly, New York.
- 23:16Speaker 3: Come on, o, Kate, especially those first couple of years.
- 23:20Speaker 4: And then I got my senses and said, hey, listen,
- 23:23Speaker 4: I give you some friends tickets if you really want.
- 23:26Speaker 1: You know where the friends tickets are. They're like way
- 23:28Speaker 1: up there. And then when somebody complains about the friend's ticket,
- 23:32Speaker 1: be like, oh, did you want something closer? I'll tell
- 23:35Speaker 1: you how much they are, Like you just can't, like
- 23:38Speaker 1: I get it. Guys, make six figures like he's gonna
- 23:41Speaker 1: come up and he's gonna make seven or twenty thousand
- 23:43Speaker 1: dollars pro rated for the year. If you he's from Houston,
- 23:48Speaker 1: if he if he he's putting tickets down for who
- 23:51Speaker 1: did he say? His family, his friends, his neighbors, Like Bryce? Yo, Bryce,
- 23:58Speaker 1: you know I'm bringing my cousin. Can I get through
- 24:00Speaker 1: three tickets?
- 24:01Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Exactly right b At the end of the year, Cratzy,
- 24:05Speaker 4: did you look at your stuff?
- 24:06Speaker 3: How much money you paid for tickets?
- 24:08Speaker 4: I remember I looked at bronson Oros one time wasn't
- 24:10Speaker 4: nearly as much as mine, but mine was like the
- 24:13Speaker 4: one year it was like thirty thousand dollars I paid
- 24:16Speaker 4: for ticket. Dude, that's somebody's life, you know. That's somebody
- 24:19Speaker 4: with people making a year and doing some job. Not
- 24:23Speaker 4: saying that. I'm not like mad or upset, but I'm
- 24:25Speaker 4: just saying, Yep, the stuff adds up.
- 24:28Speaker 1: It adds up, it adds up. You can't just me,
- 24:30Speaker 1: and then some people will be like, yo, I didn't
- 24:33Speaker 1: make it.
- 24:34Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, what you need that again?
- 24:39Speaker 3: No, you're never again.
- 24:40Speaker 2: It's what that's a one strike system.
- 24:42Speaker 4: It's forty dollars a pop. You got to pay that
- 24:44Speaker 4: forty that tax. Also a ticket, you're paying forty dollars.
- 24:47Speaker 2: You're saying, unless it's a changed yeah, like oh sorry,
- 24:51Speaker 2: I didn't want to buy you, but I didn't make it.
- 24:53Speaker 3: Like what crazy.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Hey, come to a minor league game. I'll get you.
- 24:57Speaker 1: I'll get you twenty tickets, I'll bring you can bring
- 24:59Speaker 1: your whole church.
- 25:01Speaker 4: Hey, you remember the minor leagues used to sorry, I
- 25:03Speaker 4: know what sidetracker I used to put.
- 25:06Speaker 3: Like, uh, on there coming.
- 25:12Speaker 4: I'd be like, you know, Denzel Washington and the ticket
- 25:15Speaker 4: people at first they're like whoa, and then then they're like, man,
- 25:18Speaker 4: this guy just put you know, ah, Harry mc na Yeah,
- 25:23Speaker 4: just random names like here he goes again, nobody's coming.
- 25:26Speaker 3: It was a fun times.
- 25:28Speaker 2: That's incredible. You put Denzel Washington.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Yeah, Denzel.
- 25:32Speaker 4: I used to put like did they call you Walnuts
- 25:34Speaker 4: or James Gandolphini and.
- 25:38Speaker 3: Going on there.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Hey, we used to do that. We used to do that.
- 25:41Speaker 1: But one of the guys on the team knew Britney
- 25:43Speaker 1: Grinder one time and he put Brittany Grinder down on it.
- 25:45Speaker 1: People are like, oh, that's great, that's great. He's like, no,
- 25:50Speaker 1: she's actually coming like she'd like to sit behind the
- 25:52Speaker 1: dugout and watch there she was.
- 25:54Speaker 3: We're all like, no, stop it.
- 25:57Speaker 2: That's good. You got to get him every once in
- 25:59Speaker 2: a while where you put them.
- 26:00Speaker 4: And then cross the mount and it comes like, yo, dude,
- 26:03Speaker 4: got him.
- 26:04Speaker 2: That's good. That's good anyway. So we'll see how Bryce
- 26:07Speaker 2: Matthews looks this weekend making his debut. And also, by
- 26:11Speaker 2: the way, the Futures Game is on Saturday. Leo Dvrees,
- 26:15Speaker 2: big prospects in the San Diego Padres system, Philly's pitcher
- 26:19Speaker 2: Andrew Painter, last year's first round pick for the Cardinals,
- 26:24Speaker 2: JJ Weatherholt, Jesus Mode Brewers, big prospect, Charlie Condon who
- 26:28Speaker 2: went third overall to the Rockies last year. American League.
- 26:31Speaker 2: You've got the Tigers are loaded with prospects still, which
- 26:34Speaker 2: is scary for people. Guys like Max Clark, who's a
- 26:37Speaker 2: former first round pick, Kevin McGonagle, a lot of people
- 26:39Speaker 2: are really excited about it. Spashion Walcott, who I think
- 26:43Speaker 2: is now the top prospect in the Rangers system. I
- 26:45Speaker 2: think Noah Schultz for the White Sox is scheduled to pitch.
- 26:48Speaker 2: So it's a good list. Here's the biggest problem with
- 26:50Speaker 2: that whole deal, Kratz. It's Saturday at four pm Eastern time.
- 26:54Speaker 1: Oh, tell me, tell me you don't want to promote
- 26:58Speaker 1: the young players. Without telling me you don't want to
- 27:01Speaker 1: promote the young players.
- 27:02Speaker 2: You know what else is happening Saturday at four pm
- 27:04Speaker 2: Eastern time? The Mets are playing the Royals. The Cubs
- 27:07Speaker 2: and Yankees will be wrapping up a game. I mean,
- 27:10Speaker 2: do you want me to keep going? Oh, the Dodgers
- 27:12Speaker 2: and the Giants play.
- 27:13Speaker 3: Yeah, because everybody ends early, don't they at their point team.
- 27:16Speaker 2: It's just the schedule is littered with games at the
- 27:19Speaker 2: same exact time, and you're telling people that take away
- 27:21Speaker 2: from their team and their big league team and watch
- 27:24Speaker 2: the futures game. We are lost on how to promote
- 27:28Speaker 2: the young side of the sport right now. Between the
- 27:30Speaker 2: draft and the futures game, we are lost.
- 27:35Speaker 1: And then we're gonna have a game a night soon
- 27:37Speaker 1: where there's like three games scheduled like soon, right around
- 27:40Speaker 1: the All Star breaks, somewhere where you couldn't have like
- 27:43Speaker 1: scheduled this game for that time. But they're like the
- 27:46Speaker 1: All Star breaks, seems like a good time to have
- 27:49Speaker 1: the prospect game. Put the Prospect game at rick Wood.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Put the Prospect Game as field of dreams.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Make like, what on a Wednesday? What about the Wednesday
- 27:58Speaker 2: after All Star? And what's the worst that happens all
- 28:02Speaker 2: the guys in the Futures games even though the minor
- 28:04Speaker 2: league season whatever. I don't know when it starts back
- 28:06Speaker 2: up again or if it even has the same break.
- 28:07Speaker 2: I don't what.
- 28:08Speaker 3: I don't care.
- 28:08Speaker 2: Here's my point. Yes, you tell your futures guy. Hey, dude,
- 28:11Speaker 2: you're getting a couple extra days off because you're going
- 28:14Speaker 2: to the Futures game, right not the end of the world.
- 28:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 28:17Speaker 1: No, They're like, they're like, hey, go play in the
- 28:19Speaker 1: Futures Game. We're gonna need you back by Sunday's Day
- 28:23Speaker 1: game right before the All Star break, and we want
- 28:25Speaker 1: you to go play in the double A All Star Game. Shoot,
- 28:28Speaker 1: you don't want you don't want to, Well, we don't
- 28:30Speaker 1: want to sell the game, so don't worry about it.
- 28:33Speaker 2: We're lost. I mean, I know, it's like you kind
- 28:35Speaker 2: of rent the park for a few days so you
- 28:36Speaker 2: get to use it for that, but we're lost on
- 28:39Speaker 2: how that all works. I'm telling you, like, if anything,
- 28:42Speaker 2: if you want to still be like saying, no, I'm
- 28:44Speaker 2: using the park Okay, well, we'll use the park in
- 28:46Speaker 2: Atlanta for one extra day. It's doing the All Star
- 28:48Speaker 2: Game Tuesday, use it on Wednesday Wednesday for the Futures Game.
- 28:52Speaker 2: We're lost on that topic anyway. Good interview from Crush City.
- 28:56Speaker 2: So let's show the board real quick. There it is.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Josh Reddick part of the mix too with Tyler Stafford
- 29:02Speaker 2: and Channel the Room. So if you're an Astros fan,
- 29:04Speaker 2: we've got you covered. Those guys are the best in
- 29:06Speaker 2: the bas.
- 29:09Speaker 3: Hey.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Let's do a little player spotlight thanks to Arena Club
- 29:12Speaker 2: AJ give me a player this season that you think
- 29:15Speaker 2: is underrated and you might want to try and grab
- 29:17Speaker 2: his card.
- 29:17Speaker 1: James Would.
- 29:18Speaker 5: I don't know that he's underrated, but Washington National's superstar
- 29:22Speaker 5: in the making, and the first slab pack I ever
- 29:23Speaker 5: opened had him in it, his rookie card, and the
- 29:26Speaker 5: value is only going.
- 29:26Speaker 1: To go up and up and up. And I'm not
- 29:28Speaker 1: going to sell it KWI yet, Scott.
- 29:29Speaker 5: I'm going to hold on to it because after he
- 29:31Speaker 5: continues to hit big homers and put up the stats
- 29:34Speaker 5: make All Star teams, it's going to get more expensive
- 29:36Speaker 5: for someone to buy for me.
- 29:38Speaker 2: This is his first full season in the majors. Keep
- 29:40Speaker 2: that in mind. I think he's underrated. He's on a
- 29:42Speaker 2: Nationals team that's man putting enough attention.
- 29:45Speaker 1: He might underrated. When he makes the All Star team
- 29:48Speaker 1: this year, They're not going to be underrated.
- 29:50Speaker 2: That helps. He's been intentionally walked four times in a game. Anyway,
- 29:53Speaker 2: If you want to try and find a wood rookie card,
- 29:55Speaker 2: go check out slab packs on Arena Club and right
- 29:58Speaker 2: now you can get twenty percent off your first slap pack.
- 30:00Speaker 2: Or if you just want to go with a card purchase,
- 30:02Speaker 2: go to Arena club dot com. Slash f o U
- 30:04Speaker 2: L use code foul. If you buy, sell, trade, collect,
- 30:07Speaker 2: go for it. Next up, tough debut for Brian Baker
- 30:13Speaker 2: with the Rays. They just picked him up and then
- 30:16Speaker 2: they ask him to enter a tight game in the eighth,
- 30:19Speaker 2: he gives up the lead, Rays fall to the Red Sox.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Do you want to talk about that for a second?
- 30:24Speaker 2: First craft so should we go right to why he
- 30:26Speaker 2: was dealt?
- 30:28Speaker 1: Go right to why he was depe I don't want
- 30:30Speaker 1: to whatever.
- 30:31Speaker 3: I mean.
- 30:31Speaker 2: My thing on that is, I mean, you get you know,
- 30:33Speaker 2: I I think apparently found out through the media first,
- 30:36Speaker 2: then they called him. Then he then your life flashes,
- 30:39Speaker 2: you're with the Rays. You enter in the eighth and
- 30:41Speaker 2: and the Socks got him, got to him, and the
- 30:43Speaker 2: Socks been playing well lately. I think they've won like
- 30:45Speaker 2: eight of nine, nine of ten. But anyway, so so
- 30:48Speaker 2: he gives up technically charged with three earned runs over
- 30:52Speaker 2: his inning a couple of walks, and Michael Lias addressed
- 30:57Speaker 2: why he traded Brian Baker. Can we show the tweet
- 31:02Speaker 2: here from Jacob Calvin Meyer, thank you who covers the
- 31:04Speaker 2: team every day. Michael I said the Oriols were not
- 31:07Speaker 2: shopping Brian Baker. He said the Rays were aggressive and
- 31:10Speaker 2: direct in their pursuit of Baker. He said it's not
- 31:14Speaker 2: an agenda item to trade guys with multiple years of control.
- 31:17Speaker 2: It was an opportunity that came aka Kratz Ooh good trade.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I'm too tempted. I got something that might help me
- 31:27Speaker 2: in five years. I can't even though this guy's gonna
- 31:30Speaker 2: help me next year when we're supposed to be contending again. Okay, cool, well,
- 31:33Speaker 2: let's just keep doing that, right, Okay. Felix Bautista could
- 31:37Speaker 2: be closing out a playoff game for you next year,
- 31:39Speaker 2: which you haven't won during your winning window, but you
- 31:42Speaker 2: might get tempted with a good prospect who could help
- 31:44Speaker 2: you in twenty twenty nine. I'm not saying you shouldn't
- 31:46Speaker 2: have good prospects, but what are we doing with the
- 31:48Speaker 2: winning window. We're saying, Hey, I'm getting a pick that's
- 31:50Speaker 2: going to help me in the future years from now,
- 31:52Speaker 2: and so I'm going to sacrifice what I have at
- 31:54Speaker 2: the moment when by the time I'm worried about that
- 31:56Speaker 2: next guy, I might not have half of my current core.
- 32:00Speaker 1: Scott, let's let's backtrack. You're saying prospect, he got traded
- 32:06Speaker 1: for somebody they haven't even picked yet. Thirty seventh pick.
- 32:12Speaker 1: It's not a first round pick.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. It's a high level pick and for him,
- 32:16Speaker 2: you know what he's doing. My math says that this
- 32:19Speaker 2: pick is worth sixteen million dollars over the course of
- 32:22Speaker 2: the career. That's a real thing. They put a price
- 32:24Speaker 2: on every pick.
- 32:26Speaker 1: All it was was money. They got Brian Baker for money.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Whether you think Brian Baker is gonna be good, people
- 32:32Speaker 1: who say, oh, they traded him, and now look what
- 32:34Speaker 1: he did when he went against the team went in
- 32:35Speaker 1: against the team who hits changeups really well, and what's
- 32:39Speaker 1: his best pitch change up? Anyway, you sit there and
- 32:42Speaker 1: you go, Okay, you got extra slot money for all
- 32:47Speaker 1: your entire bonus pool for the whole draft. So now
- 32:51Speaker 1: you have the most slot money. So now you have
- 32:53Speaker 1: an opportunity to just draft all these other picks. And
- 32:59Speaker 1: whether you're trying to look all those picks or not,
- 33:01Speaker 1: but you get all that money for a player that
- 33:04Speaker 1: could have helped you next year. To me, you talk
- 33:07Speaker 1: about not on the he said quote, not on the
- 33:10Speaker 1: agenda list. What is your agenda? Tell me your agenda,
- 33:14Speaker 1: Michael Lias, tell me your agenda. Please don't beat around
- 33:17Speaker 1: the bush. Please don't say things. Don't say the GM
- 33:21Speaker 1: speak of a sustainable product, because there's Orioles fans who
- 33:27Speaker 1: have still stuck around even though they shouldn't have based
- 33:31Speaker 1: on the awful rebuild or the rebuild that created this roster.
- 33:36Speaker 1: And now you're saying, well, our agenda isn't to get
- 33:40Speaker 1: rid of guys with control, but you did. You did
- 33:43Speaker 1: get rid of guys with control, and now he's not
- 33:46Speaker 1: going to be there. You have to replace him, which
- 33:48Speaker 1: you didn't do a very good job of this offseason
- 33:51Speaker 1: replacing pieces that we're missing. So to me, your agenda
- 33:56Speaker 1: needs to be explained, or maybe you shouldn't be back.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Is the goal to always have talent flowing or is
- 34:06Speaker 2: the goal to also make sure that you actually win
- 34:09Speaker 2: during the time period when you're supposed to after tanking
- 34:12Speaker 2: for five years. I'm lost on the topic. Hey, Internally,
- 34:16Speaker 2: they might be saying, you know what, we don't really
- 34:19Speaker 2: like this guy. We don't we don't buy the changes
- 34:21Speaker 2: he made this year that we helped him with. Okay,
- 34:23Speaker 2: that's fine. Then you still shouldn't phrase what you just
- 34:26Speaker 2: said the way you said it. It is very misleading,
- 34:30Speaker 2: and fans are on fire right now in Baltimore. They're
- 34:32Speaker 2: lost to their confused. They go, yep, we're out of
- 34:35Speaker 2: it this year. We figure you're going to trade the
- 34:37Speaker 2: rentals away, but you started trade season with a guy
- 34:40Speaker 2: that had years of control left. I'm lost there.
- 34:45Speaker 3: But we talked about it all the time. I brought
- 34:48Speaker 3: it up.
- 34:49Speaker 2: You did not like the roster. We all didn't like
- 34:51Speaker 2: the roster. This is the one thing we agreed on,
- 34:53Speaker 2: but you didn't like it so much that you picked
- 34:55Speaker 2: them before the season to not make the playoffs.
- 34:57Speaker 4: No, I didn't, and you see it coming. And I'm
- 34:59Speaker 4: not trying all because I told you so. They didn't
- 35:03Speaker 4: get rid of the guys when they needed to a
- 35:05Speaker 4: couple of years ago. They had so many of them
- 35:07Speaker 4: and an opportunity to get better, get some major league
- 35:10Speaker 4: experience guys, get a guy that you know could come
- 35:13Speaker 4: in and close in the seventh or eighth, and get
- 35:16Speaker 4: guys that are known to play in the major leagues.
- 35:18Speaker 4: And they didn't do it. And now, what two or
- 35:21Speaker 4: three are pretty good? And how about the rest of
- 35:22Speaker 4: the guys exactly?
- 35:24Speaker 2: And they didn't address pitching, and they haven't developed pitching well,
- 35:27Speaker 2: and they've mostly ignored it. Like they've done a really
- 35:29Speaker 2: good job of drafting and then position players then developing
- 35:32Speaker 2: No what what pitching. If they developed starting pitching.
- 35:36Speaker 1: Tyler Wells, Bradish, Brayson Rodriguez, that's a banger. Top three.
- 35:43Speaker 2: But they're all hurt.
- 35:44Speaker 1: They're all hurt. I wouldn't. I wouldn't say they haven't.
- 35:47Speaker 1: They haven't had the they haven't had the plethora of
- 35:51Speaker 1: starting pitching like they have supposedly all of these position players.
- 35:58Speaker 2: But yeah, if you like they pick, they go position
- 36:02Speaker 2: players high in the draft, which is fine. I mean
- 36:04Speaker 2: some teams go that route.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Stop doing that.
- 36:06Speaker 2: You got to mix it up at least that I
- 36:08Speaker 2: would imagine that.
- 36:10Speaker 4: Or get that college, get that college college high school, right,
- 36:14Speaker 4: you know, third fourth round, get that high school alarm
- 36:16Speaker 4: where it's like this kid's gonna be three four years
- 36:18Speaker 4: from now, but you want their college arm and that's
- 36:21Speaker 4: ready to rock man. And there's a couple of them
- 36:23Speaker 4: out there right now.
- 36:26Speaker 2: Hey, we got some All Star edition news multiple. I
- 36:29Speaker 2: just heard Casey Mice cracked the roster. I just heard
- 36:33Speaker 2: Carlos Rodin is replacing Max Freed on the roster. And
- 36:38Speaker 2: this is Bob Knight and saying, ending any suspense, who
- 36:42Speaker 2: manager Aaron Boone will select to be his al starting
- 36:46Speaker 2: pitcher for the All Star Game. Trek Skouble gets the
- 36:49Speaker 2: announcement makes sense, Cy young winner and you know, top
- 36:53Speaker 2: three contender for the award.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Again it always it's kind of it stinks you think
- 36:57Speaker 4: about it, like for the guys that are true. Also,
- 37:00Speaker 4: I'm not saying these guys aren't that are coming into being.
- 37:02Speaker 2: All Star replacements.
- 37:04Speaker 4: Yeah, they You know why I wish you could make
- 37:06Speaker 4: it till all these guys can you know, get a
- 37:08Speaker 4: little taste. You know, some guys might just it might
- 37:10Speaker 4: be one time they ever do it. So they'll still
- 37:13Speaker 4: get the jersey, they'll still you know, be an All Star,
- 37:16Speaker 4: but they just you know, can't go to it and perform.
- 37:18Speaker 4: So that's the worst, that's the toughest part. But for
- 37:21Speaker 4: guys to get in that we're on the fringe even better.
- 37:24Speaker 4: So it's that happy, you know, good bad kind of thing.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Yeah, Casey Mice just got the call too, so I
- 37:29Speaker 2: don't know, I didn't get to see who he's replacing,
- 37:31Speaker 2: but a bunch of pitching replacements. It always happens scrats
- 37:34Speaker 2: because a lot of teams, whether it's set up or not,
- 37:37Speaker 2: will have their starters going on a Saturday or Sunday
- 37:40Speaker 2: and then they'll can't try someone. Instead, he replaces Crochet,
- 37:43Speaker 2: by the way, Casey Mice for Crochet.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, I thought the guys that went Saturday
- 37:49Speaker 1: usually still pitching the game. But I mean, I guess
- 37:52Speaker 1: they're pushing that back now to Friday. So Schoogl's going tonight,
- 37:56Speaker 1: Freed's going tomorrow. Definitely a Sunday guys around.
- 38:01Speaker 3: I get that that.
- 38:02Speaker 2: I get Yeah, at some point they're going to say
- 38:04Speaker 2: unless you add full rest or let a.
- 38:08Speaker 4: Whole week off and have it like the next Friday Saturdays,
- 38:12Speaker 4: do that and then fly them out Sunday, and then
- 38:15Speaker 4: baseball back on money boom.
- 38:17Speaker 2: Nice take break. Quick question, by the way, from Jamin
- 38:22Speaker 2: and the chat, what's the purpose of not being able
- 38:24Speaker 2: to trade draft picks. That's a great question, Jamon, and
- 38:27Speaker 2: it's a question that nobody can answer because it requires
- 38:31Speaker 2: collective bargaining, which we've hit quite a bit over the
- 38:33Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. And we have one side that
- 38:36Speaker 2: said they would like to see it and another side
- 38:38Speaker 2: that said they would not like to see it. It's
- 38:40Speaker 2: that simple. That is a fact right now. One side
- 38:43Speaker 2: wants all draft picks to be traded or allowed to
- 38:45Speaker 2: be traded, because it would create more excitement in the game.
- 38:49Speaker 2: And it's actually the side that would have to deal
- 38:51Speaker 2: with the repercussions of bouncing around, right, it would create
- 38:55Speaker 2: more trades. It's I know, getting traded for you guys
- 38:58Speaker 2: not the most fun thing in the world, just hop
- 39:00Speaker 2: the family to another city. But they know the good
- 39:02Speaker 2: of the game that it's fun. You can say I'm
- 39:04Speaker 2: being biased, but it's a fact, one side is for it,
- 39:07Speaker 2: they would do it tomorrow. The other side is not
- 39:10Speaker 2: for it at the moment they want it.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Is it hurting though? I don't get it? I did.
- 39:13Speaker 2: Do you remember what the explanation was Kratz.
- 39:16Speaker 1: Their explanation, while super vague, was always we're not sure
- 39:20Speaker 1: if the owners would, if the teams would say would
- 39:25Speaker 1: use it, use it inappropriately? And we were like, what
- 39:29Speaker 1: does that mean? As a player, what does that mean?
- 39:31Speaker 1: So you just don't know how to regulate it. Look
- 39:33Speaker 1: at the other sports, everybody loves the draft, the draft
- 39:36Speaker 1: trades on Draft Day, like all, we're moving up to
- 39:39Speaker 1: go get Chase Burns, who's gonna help us in our
- 39:43Speaker 1: playoff run? Moving up to go get Finigan, who's gonna
- 39:47Speaker 1: help us a playoff run with Royals? Like that is intrigue.
- 39:52Speaker 2: It makes too much sense. So it's not happening. Hot
- 39:58Speaker 2: Corner time.
- 39:59Speaker 3: Baby.
- 39:59Speaker 2: It's by next Playground, which has a new home Run
- 40:02Speaker 2: Heroes home Run Derby game, and we are going to
- 40:04Speaker 2: play it after the show and then show you the
- 40:06Speaker 2: results next week. But the derby field is set. We
- 40:11Speaker 2: learned about the last two yesterday Brent Rooker, and then
- 40:14Speaker 2: after the show it was announced that Jazz Chisholm will
- 40:17Speaker 2: also join the fields. Todd Father, I know you're going
- 40:22Speaker 2: to be part of the broadcast.
- 40:23Speaker 3: We're excited to.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Hear you on there. Ronald Lacuna Junior, cal Raley, James
- 40:27Speaker 2: wood Byron Buxton, O'Neil Cruz Junior, Cameronaro plus Rooker and
- 40:32Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm size it up for us. What do you think?
- 40:34Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I was looking at you know, bet MGM.
- 40:38Speaker 4: I was looking at to see where the numbers are.
- 40:40Speaker 4: The The favorite is cal Raley. I guess he's he's
- 40:44Speaker 4: a switch hitter, not necessarily plays what I mean. You
- 40:48Speaker 4: see Adlie Rutchman tried doing it the one year, going
- 40:51Speaker 4: the opposite side, you're still going to be exhausted.
- 40:53Speaker 3: I don't care what side you hit by. You know
- 40:55Speaker 3: you got.
- 40:55Speaker 4: Byron Buxton, the Georgia Bourne guy. You know he's gonna
- 40:58Speaker 4: be playing for free that day. O'Neill Cruz, this guy
- 41:04Speaker 4: I've seen hit personally the last team I played with.
- 41:07Speaker 4: We were on that that team that waited to get
- 41:09Speaker 4: called up during the covid H experience. This guy can
- 41:14Speaker 4: hit the ball, and he hits the ball hard, but
- 41:15Speaker 4: here's my thing about him. He hits him far, but
- 41:18Speaker 4: they're line drive, so this is gonna help him get
- 41:21Speaker 4: more at a time. Of course he's gonna pops him
- 41:24Speaker 4: up that are gonna get out, but his trajectory is
- 41:27Speaker 4: this way, not up and out. That's the guy I'm
- 41:30Speaker 4: keeping my eye on. The biggest underdog is Brent Rooker,
- 41:34Speaker 4: and I haven't really like this guy, and I like
- 41:36Speaker 4: his chances actually too as well. To make a big
- 41:39Speaker 4: splash in his home run derby two time All Star
- 41:44Speaker 4: guy can hit homers. He's played at a minor league
- 41:46Speaker 4: park for half the year so far. I see him
- 41:49Speaker 4: making a big splash in here. And then another guy
- 41:51Speaker 4: that pops in mind, Junior Camonaro. You've seen the excitement,
- 41:55Speaker 4: You've seen the energy is going to be too much
- 41:56Speaker 4: of the energy that all of a sudden he fades
- 41:59Speaker 4: out the second half. There's a lot to look into.
- 42:02Speaker 4: This is gonna be one memorable home run derby a
- 42:04Speaker 4: lot of young stars, a lot of first timers. Scott,
- 42:08Speaker 4: I can't wait to see, and you know Firo and
- 42:10Speaker 4: Bucks and I can't wait to see too, because he
- 42:11Speaker 4: can hit the ball far away. Oh yeah, does he
- 42:13Speaker 4: do that? In VP though, so we'll see sick guy
- 42:16Speaker 4: and who are they gonna throw? We'll get all that information.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Who was staring to is your brother?
- 42:20Speaker 3: My brother? But how are they gonna throw lob but
- 42:22Speaker 3: a they're gonna throw firm. We'll see.
- 42:24Speaker 4: There's a lot of intricacies unless, but not least the
- 42:26Speaker 4: hometown here Ronald Ocunya.
- 42:28Speaker 3: Is the pressure going to be too much?
- 42:30Speaker 2: Remember when Bryce Harper won? What year was that, twenty
- 42:34Speaker 2: seventeen or eighteen? Yeah, yeah, in front of the home crowd.
- 42:38Speaker 2: Do you think Akuna could do that? I think he's
- 42:40Speaker 2: got the pop in the athleticism, he's not going to
- 42:42Speaker 2: tire out, and he's a you never know.
- 42:45Speaker 4: It's exhausting, even though the time limit has gone down.
- 42:49Speaker 4: It's interesting, scratzy what you got.
- 42:52Speaker 1: Oh, I was just gonna say, I don't think anybody that.
- 42:55Speaker 1: I don't think any hometown players can ever win the
- 42:57Speaker 1: home run derby, like I think those guys that do
- 43:00Speaker 1: that or just big times herds like bad guys. Like
- 43:03Speaker 1: if you're if you're hitting your home run derby in
- 43:05Speaker 1: your home, in the town, you're playing in the city,
- 43:08Speaker 1: you're playing in, big thumbs down to you.
- 43:12Speaker 3: That's good. That that means good, Thank you so much.
- 43:17Speaker 1: No, I gotta I gotta ask you, Todd. There's there's
- 43:20Speaker 1: a big difference. I'm looking at the I'm.
- 43:23Speaker 2: Looking at hold on real quick. He took like a
- 43:26Speaker 2: piece of tape or something and he threw it at
- 43:29Speaker 2: the TV and like it was a perfect strike directly
- 43:32Speaker 2: between the eyeballs.
- 43:35Speaker 1: I was wondering. I felt I felt something like hit
- 43:37Speaker 1: my eye. But anyway, the top so the top four
- 43:40Speaker 1: guys that I think it's like cal Raley, Auna Cruise,
- 43:47Speaker 1: Cruise and James Wood would be like you know, the
- 43:51Speaker 1: top four that you think of of those of those guys,
- 43:55Speaker 1: who do you think has the best shot? Oh?
- 44:00Speaker 3: Man, I think Cruz does. I do. I think he does.
- 44:05Speaker 4: With his swing and with his bat speed, he can
- 44:08Speaker 4: go on an absolute tear and hit six to eight
- 44:12Speaker 4: in a row and next thing you know, he's only
- 44:14Speaker 4: down three with thirty seconds left.
- 44:16Speaker 3: Something like that. I don't think the.
- 44:17Speaker 4: Guy tires ever, It's just a matter of how much
- 44:21Speaker 4: is he going to compete in this competition?
- 44:25Speaker 1: Okay, just because I'm looking at it, like James Wood
- 44:29Speaker 1: is the I honestly wish the number was a little
- 44:32Speaker 1: bit better. For us. I wish it was paying a
- 44:34Speaker 1: little bit better. I just don't feel like people understand,
- 44:38Speaker 1: like the ease and the size of this guy. He's
- 44:41Speaker 1: going opo. That's my only fear is a lot of
- 44:44Speaker 1: his homers in games are the opposite field, and I
- 44:48Speaker 1: haven't seen a ton of guys consistently go opposite field
- 44:52Speaker 1: in the home run derby. So I want to do
- 44:54Speaker 1: a little bit more digging to see if he can
- 44:56Speaker 1: go like Puol happy homers. Because if he can go
- 44:59Speaker 1: Puol happy homers, MVP. To me, he's the guy like
- 45:03Speaker 1: this one right here. Nobody's throwing him a breaking ball.
- 45:06Speaker 1: He's taking heaters and he's going biggest part of the
- 45:10Speaker 1: ballpark with ease. I just I just don't see. I
- 45:13Speaker 1: just don't see a lot of opo. And maybe you
- 45:15Speaker 1: can tell me different, Todd, a lot of dudes that
- 45:17Speaker 1: go opo. It's hard or even center. I mean we're
- 45:21Speaker 1: watching one essentially a center, just right a center. It's tough.
- 45:25Speaker 1: You need the guys that just pull hooked dingers, that's
- 45:30Speaker 1: days backspin dingers.
- 45:32Speaker 4: It's hard to hit opposite field home runs consistently in
- 45:36Speaker 4: a home runner because the speed isn't there.
- 45:38Speaker 3: They got to throw in it.
- 45:40Speaker 1: And you almost have to you almost have to like reset,
- 45:42Speaker 1: like when guys do it almost look like they reset.
- 45:45Speaker 1: Ryan Howard did it, and I feel like Ryan Howard
- 45:48Speaker 1: power plus is like equal to the James Wood power.
- 45:52Speaker 4: I don't know, we'll see those are those underdogs that
- 45:56Speaker 4: you you don't know, We'll see what happens.
- 45:59Speaker 2: Junior camp Mon Arrow. Junior is young. He's he's almost
- 46:02Speaker 2: up there with with a cruise with the bats being
- 46:05Speaker 2: all that the only thing with Cruise those line drives.
- 46:07Speaker 2: He does a lot of those that smack off the wall. Yeah,
- 46:10Speaker 2: we've got to get a little more lyft on it.
- 46:12Speaker 2: Junior does that naturally, a.
- 46:13Speaker 4: Little more if it swings ferocious and that might lead
- 46:17Speaker 4: to more pop ups to it.
- 46:19Speaker 3: But not saying he can't do it.
- 46:21Speaker 2: Okay, I like it. Let's show off the bling the
- 46:24Speaker 2: home run derby champ chain. Oh there, yeah, that's nice.
- 46:30Speaker 2: That's cool.
- 46:30Speaker 4: It's got a big gold No, yeah, looks.
- 46:34Speaker 2: That looks good. Yeah, but it's right exactly, but it's
- 46:40Speaker 2: still cool. Is somebody's signature on there?
- 46:42Speaker 3: It does say keep.
- 46:44Speaker 2: Swinging, keep swinging. Yeah, Well that's the name of the game.
- 46:48Speaker 2: Todd Father knows it anyway. Next Playground sponsored this little segment.
