• 0:02
  Speaker 1: That's my favorite opener, by the way, or after if
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you watch us online, we do a little pre show
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: thang each day to get y'all pumped for the show.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Little opener.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a good one. Yes, the air conditioner works.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: And you know, by the way, you know Scott that
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: if the air conditioner here doesn't work, I'm on the
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: phone with the hvac guy that second, like I'll stop.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: To show and me like, the air condition's not working.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: I need someone here.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Now you have better HVAC support and your well.
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: The Angels try to offer somebody to join today.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't want to give too much away, but
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: yes they did. They did put that out there, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that's real. Let's charge the man empowered by Arena Club.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You gotta do the classic tail the tape, position by position,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: and we're going to do it right now. It has
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the final result of the World Series.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: That's not how it works. But it's still a fun
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: exercise to go through the positions and see who's got
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the edge. It's funny we're doing this while I literally
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: get fresh news from John Schneider and the Blue Jays
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: about Boba sheet. Because I think that the Bobashett factor
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: has to do with who is regularly playing where, and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: he essentially said that Bo still has to check some
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: boxes and that all three routes are still in play
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: for Bo, d H, shortstop, bench back.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's kind of what I'm taking there. Wait, but
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it because I'm getting killed on it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: And he even mentioned second base.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: He did. I think he did play a little bit,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: a little bit.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yea, everything is in play.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Everything that to me sounds like he's not really ready.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to give him every shot, but at the
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: end of the day, we're going to use the you're
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: not ready Bo trick again.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: They've got tests to do, so that's one of the options.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Wasn't him saying he's not going to be on the roster.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: He's going to be on the roster.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Oh he's for sure.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: No, not for sure, He's got to check boxes to sure.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: Remember were watching run Did you watch that video?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah? That was last round?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: That was a week Yeah, that so.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: One week ago. There was a more recent one m.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: And maybe it was his first warm up run. Let's
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: put it this way, didn't look didn't look shortstop ready?
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: So maybe we can cross one of those.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Off the list.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Cue the comments. These guys don't know what they're talking about, right,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I've never played neither heads a j.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: All right, here we go, true catcher.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: See now, normally I would say Will Smith, but because
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: he was a little banged up and he missed so
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: much time at the end, I'm kind of lean and
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Alejandra Kirk a little bit here.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I'm playing along, but you're a catcher to crat, so
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: you go first.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Now decide, I'll go Will Smith. I'll go Will Smith.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: I think I think Kirk. I think Kirk showed some
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: signs of where can that change? Absolutely? Because you're like,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: you don't you don't feel tired, as AJ was quoted
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: last week, you don't feel tired. But I'm gonna say
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: Will Smith and him are both some type of banged up,
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: so equal equal.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Will Smith.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, I think there's equal parts.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: But for me, I think Kirk has the framing advantage,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and if you look at his framing numbers in this postseason,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: he's been insane, especially getting some low strikes. So I'm
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: going Kirk. Yeah, yeah, yeah, allgily. I'll believe it when
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I see it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Next first base.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: But I love Freddy Freeman, but Flad just if he
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: stays as hot as he's been, I mean, it's blood.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: There's not many better than Freddy, but Glad, I would
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: there'd be.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: It'd be very hard pressed for me not to pick Freddy,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: but I gotta go Blood.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Freddy had a nice World Series last year.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: But Bladdie Clean sweet.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Okay good.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: This is where things get interesting because it depends on
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: who plays what Bo does. But second base, I mean
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond on the Dodger side, he's got the ankle issue.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He's playing in field only. Second base could be Bo,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: could be Ikf, could be Ernie Clement.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I'm going I'm so going Tommy Edmund. He's done in
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the postseason. He switch it so he can run a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: little bit. So I'm going Tommy Edmond over honestly, any
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of those three, because we don't know if Bo Ikf
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is okay, obviously doesn't hit the way he does. And
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: then Ernie Clement, we just don't know. He's not gonna
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: be out there now. So I'm going Tommy Edmond.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Okay, you can't say Ernie Clement, other than the fact
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: that he hit four eighty in the playoffs so far.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: But Ernie clemt might get pinch hit for.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I can't choose somebody's gonna get pinch hit for in
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: the seventh, eighth or ninth inning, even though he's had
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: an incredible postseason over Tommy Edvan.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Why is he gonna get pinch hit four because.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: They could play the matchup. He has been pinch hit four.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but excuse me, not much.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Right, nobody, but he had I mean he has been.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I mean he's been.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: It's it's crazy to say Ernie Clement is hitting for
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: whatever he did in the postseason and to still pick
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Tommy Edmond.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I like Tommy.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm riding the hod hand. I'm actually gonna go Clement.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Shortstop should be easy. Smookie yea third base.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I mean our guy Munsi. Bro, I'm not picking against
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: my guy Munsi. Crats Monsey left field, Addison Barger, No,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: he's in right field.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Right, singers in right and less springers right. It's a
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: tough exercise.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Who plays who's playing left for the Dodgers.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: K K K in the World Series, Bro, Come on,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Nathan Lucas left field, Jas.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I'll still take KK just because he's Key K in
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: the in the World Series. He's proving it.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, Seringer might be somewhere.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Center field our show for me.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really a struggle.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: By the way, you Savage is starting game one fy yes, wow, no, Goffman.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Interesting, we're almost done, okay field, I think that centerfield
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: is show for me, and I'm with you guys on key.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: It would have been Poa's but probably struggled the second
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: half so much.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Let's say right field is ti Oscar Hernandez and Addison
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Barger matchup.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I'm taking Tao for the bat. Yeah, I mean, Barger
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: defensively takes and he can swing it. Just the history
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: of Tao. It's hard because they have such a long
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: postseason history as some of these guys. That's why Tao
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: He's get big hits. He got big gets against Philly,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: got big gets in the LCS. Like he just gets
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: big hits.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Sure, he'll drop a fly ball, but usually knocks
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: in Morney. Letson.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: I think Barger is gonna be a huge key to
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: this series besides the Snell game. You know he's gonna
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: be facing a tough lefty there, but he's gonna be
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: a huge key because a lot of the big pieces
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: are gonna be right handed coming out of Dodgers Penn.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: So I think Bargar is gonna have a huge, a
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: huge impact. But history says Tao is Tao.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Is the guy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, d h Otani obviously versus George Springer, I mean.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Actually I know, but I mean I know, it's.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Not like a big edge, George.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: It's a gigantic edge.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: It's a gigantic edge. I'm sorry at the plate, So
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you think it's.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: A gigantic edge based on their postseason pedigree.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, look look at that pretty.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I've got Otani, I got it, But I just I'm saying,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think like it's this massive edge for that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Then will Bringers the day?
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: That's fine, that's fine.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Starting pitching Dodgers. Thank you, bull Pen, Quinn Flip, I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: got Blue Jays.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, we'll go blue.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: There's more death.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Well, no, the doesn't have to pitch, you know, little
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: a little blue, hardy flower. Those are the guys. To me,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: we'll get the X factors. Those are the guys. To me,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: they're the X factors. How will they're lefties. Handle the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Dodger lefties.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, Pratts are you going with?
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Which? Because it didn't work.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: It didn't work very much if Louis Viarland doesn't have
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: to pitch all seven games. I think the Jays are
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: more consistent now the pen, and I think the Dodgers
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: have a higher ceiling out of the pen.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Pintfoot see and guess what.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Everything we just said doesn't matter because that's not how
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: games are decided. Where you go Lynch team has disposition
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: better than that. But it was a fun exercise. Boba
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Schett ruined it, but in a fun way because we'll
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: see how he fits in for this World Series.

  Speaker 1: chat as best as possible to see what other questions
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you have for Dombrowski and also questions for us about
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: what we've talked about world series wise right now.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking through what everyone said.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I you know, we could talk about this for two
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: minutes because we don't have it scheduled somewhere else. Trey
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Savage over Kevin Boss and for game one, did they
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: give context on.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I just saw who's going to pitch?
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: How that lines out?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: How many days is that for Goswin?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Oh? To give him an extra day?
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: That's what I mean.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: Because he started he started game seven. I mean he started,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: that's plenty of time. Was say, how many is that?
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Is that?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Just Forgular five Monday to Friday? That would be a raiser?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: And started game five? Now wasn't your Savage game six?
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Yes, he started game five, so he's plenty of arrest.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: But he did pitch an inning in the game seven,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: so maybe that's why it is.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: That's okay, A gotcha. Yeah, I thought he was out
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: there in game seven, but I'm like, yeah, he pitched
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: it in in game seven. It's like the seventh inning
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: or something.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: Because he had a face rally and I was like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: no way, they're gonna let.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: Him face rally.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: And then he walked, and then he got out of
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: the first and second. Remember he walked the next guy too.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure, and you can say this
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: about a lot of guys that he's one of those
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: where if you give him an extra day or two,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: his numbers just skyrocket.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: And yeah, but he's already had plenty of time.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: If he pitched, that would have been I would have
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: been Friday pitched, that would have been a week.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: That would have been a week.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Career high one hundred and ninety three innings in the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: regular season. He pitched on an extra day of rest
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: for six straight starts to end the season and ended
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: up with the best velocity of the year in September.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm such a nerd I do.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I read articles late at night and put notes down,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and it's really nice when one.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: The Savage will be on regular rail though.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why. So it makes sense.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: But listen, they know their team is better than we do.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: You have veterans.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Also, the Matt Boyd situation, I think points out that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you better make sure that your guy is one billion
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: percent of what he is right now. Right if one
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: day makes the difference, and he's gonna get two starts,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: presumably in this world series anyway, if it goes long,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: then you go Gossman Game two.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Savage versus Noll though, that's a matchup that's sick,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: and then Gosman Yamamoto game two mm hm, and then
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Glass now.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Bib Otani versus Shureser. These are really good.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Fox.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: You can sell those, Fox one, you can sell those.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Roll up your sleeves if you have them, Smoke them.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: If you got them, it's gonna get hot. The Angels
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: have a.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: T i'm a mess going on right now.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: There's a crazy lawsuit that we'll get into at some point,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: which is very serious and of course, first off, very unfortunate,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a story from long ago at this point that's going
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: to keep dragging on for a long time if you
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: know how courts work and quart of appeals and all that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: But we will do a segment on that at some point.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: They also have multiple storylines going on involving the current team.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Kurt Suzuki is the new manager for one season, basically
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: unprecedented in modern times. We'll get to that. Let's start
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: with the air conditioning.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: The real things that are important in life, are making
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: sure your players are taken care of. And you say
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Kikuchi had to go out of his way to go
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: on the record and say please fix the air conditioning
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: because they didn't fix it for him in the weight room.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Kevin Polar goes on our show confirms what's going on there.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: There's a back and forth during the Kurtsuzuki Intro press
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: conference with Perimination and Sam Blum, who is really best
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in the biz or one of the.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Offering teams. He's so good? So do you want me
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to read the back and forth?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Like no, just basically perim gave him like no credit
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: at all, Like he basically acted like he didn't hear
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the comments from.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: It was like Avid in Costello.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: It literally was like, wait, what first?
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: No, what's on first?
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: What does the AC work? We have good amenities? Well no,
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: but what about the AC? Well did he say the
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: AC didn't work?
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he did say are you sure he said that?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: I mean it was, it was. It could have been
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: a comedy routine. I wish I would have heard of
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: some persons.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Like later and then back and forth like he tells
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: him how Polar said that on Foul territory, and he's like,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he said it didn't work.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, you did. And then he's like, so,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: what's your question? There was a question.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: He started it with a question, do you view this
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: as an issue that you need to address in terms
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: of amenities?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: But wait, there's more. Do we have the job posting?
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: This is real?
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Stam Blum put it up. The Angels posted a job
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: for an air conditioning technician today today. Hours after back
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and forth, we have finally gotten to the point. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like FT is a part of this, right,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: good journalism. The Angels are going to attempt to fix
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: their AC. And actually, David Samson, who's a friend of
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: this show, I thought it wasn't broken exactly, it's not broken.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: We just want to make sure we have someone there
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: and in the future. And they're saying and they're like
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: sweating balls.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And I mean, all this is going, I mean this,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: this is like just the whole thing because the Zuki
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: one year, which I get, I mean I don't get,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: but I get, and then the whole I mean, the
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: whole trial thing was gay.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just it's a circus out there right now.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: The AC is just a new low for me. Nobody
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: else does that in the big leagues at all. In fact,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: David Sanson, in Front of the Show, used to run
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the Marlins, said on his show that it was definitely
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a full time position. There is a lot going on
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: when you're taking control of a big facility like that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like they didn't have anybody and then
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: they're trying to make it a part time.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Well, there's a million people that work under these standards, crowds.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: You know that.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: There's engineers, there's electricians, there's plumbers. I remember one time
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: a clubhouse guy in Chicago there was a leak and
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: he's like, we need a plumber. Stat in is like
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: full Chicago accent. I mean like, yeah, but you played.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Because they have all these people.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: They fix things fast when this issue.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Because they want players to be comfortable. If the player
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: complained it had already gotten too far. If you walk
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: in and they're like, man, it's not seventy degrees in here,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: the ac must be broken, they try to fix it
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: before the players get there. They don't want a player
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: to complain.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: Some organizations. This is the whole gist of everything we're
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: saying about the Angels. I don't have any specific stories
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: about the Angels, but I know the Marlins. Christian Yelich,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: who's still currently in the league, when he came up,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: him and JT. Real Muto. He has a picture of
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: him and JT. Real Muto on a team plane that
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: they didn't have air conditioning. And I'm talking to team
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: plane where you plugged in your your airpot, I mean
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: your your headphones to the handle and you had like
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: seven music stations to choose between and the volume all
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: in your handle. That's the plane that they were taking.
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: So organizations cheap out. Organizations in general, not all of them,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: some of them cheap out. So this happens like for
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: the and for the Angels to not have air conditioning working,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: that just seems like it's par for the course. Seems
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: like an owner that doesn't want to set a standard
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: from the top down that everything needs to be taken
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: care for. Who for the players. The game is played
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: by the players. You're paying players, So maybe set a standard.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: You're not having tents as your weight room in spring training,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: maybe have air conditioning that's working or when it's not working,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: don't wait till October twenty second, at a press conference,
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: to hire an HVAC guy, and I hope there's an
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: hvac guy there that's like, Oh crap, is that guy
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: gonna take my job?
• 16:24

  Speaker 1: computer's broke. We're not getting new computers. Everyone's doing everything
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: by hand. Now you would not do your job very
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: well in today's world. It would take a little bit longer.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You'd be less effective. This is the comp This is
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: a mess. I spent too much time looking at comments
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: from Angels fans. We're on the same page, of course,
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and jokes NonStop. There's one I'll call it a couple
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: tweets the replies of some of our stuff. Greg Flores
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: said the conversation was like Titanic is sinking.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: No it's not.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Everything is fine, you say, would agree, sir?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: You say, is in a lifeboat? No he's not. Who
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: told you that? You say? Did see?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: He's waving at us from the lifeboat like people went
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: next level with their replies because they I don't want
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to say they've given up.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: They just are like, uncle, what are we doing.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: There was one other fan, Brian, who said, I would
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: say Angel Stadium as a whole is far behind everything.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I went to a game in June. I swear it
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: hasn't been updated since nineteen ninety nine. Bathrooms are horribly
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: rusted in old field level seats were so sunbeat and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you couldn't see the seat numbers.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So I've been there. I really like it, but it
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: does look.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Like it's a little fans of two thousand and four.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a cool vibe, but it's it's a little rusty.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: It could use a little freshening in this place. To
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the story.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: If the players are going through this, then of course
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: there could be more updates there. All right, let's get
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: to the manager portion of the conversation. So you're the
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Angels got a nice young corps. Kurtzuzuki steps in during
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: spring training? Aren't you at least cracking some jokes with
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: your teammate's like, this.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Guy's not going to be here for nobody does that.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I would say this if we interviewed Kurt, like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you don't have to accept that you made money in
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: your career. You're respected, you were a candidate for other teams.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: The answer was, well, I've taken many one year deals
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in my career. That's not how managerial jobs work. Tell
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: me I'm wrong here, Tell me this is fine? And
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: is this the new norm?
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Will another team join the party here? And say, yeah,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you know what Kurtsuzuki did it. So we'll handle one
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: year contract out to our new manager. Tell me I'm wrong,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: tell me this is okay, and that this is right.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: No, I can't. I can't tell you. I can tell
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: you you're wrong. Then I don't think other teams are going
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: to do this because of the precedent sense the president
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: that it sets like you're clearly not you know, they're not.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: The Braves aren't going to hire somebody for a one
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: year job, like, hey, you don't win this year, you
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: gotta you gotta you know you you're fired. That's why
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: I'm only giving you one year job. So it's going
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: to be the teams that are kind of rebuilding and
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: they kind of have a young core and all that stuff.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: You don't want to show your young core that the
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: organization doesn't back the person you're bringing in. Like, hey, guys,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: you know, I know you're new to the big leagues.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: We're gonna bring this one guy in for you to
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: manage you and we'll see how it goes. But he
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: may not be here. No, you want to build stability,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: You want to build toward the crescendo of where we
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: are this week the World Series. That's how that's how
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: you bring in a new manager and you get everybody
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: behind it. This is just this is just flat wrong
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: on so many sides. And honestly, the person that I
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: think is doing the least wrong I might get flat
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: for this is Suzuki. It's only one of thirty jobs.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: And I know he might be screwing over other people
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: for well, you know what, screw that he wanted to
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: be a manager.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: He was.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: He was coaching eleven U baseball a month ago. Now
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: he's coaching an eleven U owner. And I think it's
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: something that he got a managerial job. He has it
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: under his belt. Might not look good or doesn't does
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: look good on his resume. He's got it on his resume.
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: See if he wants to.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Do it or not.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: You don't think it hurts a reputation. It's like, oh,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that's the guy that took the one year. Then if
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: it doesn't go well right like he does a good job,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: no care. And if he doesn't, nobody will care either way.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: You don't think they'll You don't think that has anything
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: to do with anything. No, really, So you think he'll
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: do a year, they'll lose ninety five games, and he'll
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: be just as big of a candidate the next year.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: He has on his resume that's so big because people
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: just look past anybody without it on the resume.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, so do you think pedro gerfol will get hired again?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He don't think doing a poor job as a manager
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: or Yeah, but you're putting him in a bad position.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: He's ONCT I got a tea time, got it?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, Now, so you don't you don't feel strongly about
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: this the worst thing?
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: That's weird, But I mean, what am I gonna do.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: He wanted the job, he got it. He took a
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: one year deal. That's his own decision. I wouldn't have
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: done it. I would have taken a one year deal.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's Whylbert Pools didn't take the job. They wanted
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: him to take a one year deal. I'm not taking
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: a one year deal, no, because I'm like, you know
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: what if I do a shitty job and they fire
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: me after one year?
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Ilmis don't want to get paid for two or three more.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I e.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: College football coaches.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: I was gonna say wall five year planed. You're the
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: one that's five year plans now, now you're using it
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: for your best interest, right.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I want that five year contract and you.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Want this conversation to go short as he can eat
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: to your tea time too, So that's.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Part true also, But Scott's never gonna let this go.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: He's trying to get fired from the show. You guys
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: were off fired.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I get overtime, so let's keep going. You guys were off,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Mark said, I get overtime, so let's keep going.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: You were fire up about this before the show. I
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: just wanted we've hit it like five times.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: We didn't hit it five times.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: We hit it before Bob, we hit it with Bob,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: we hit it after Bob, and now we're hitting it
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: like till three forty five.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: But I get overtime, so it doesn't matter. This counts
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: as an extra show.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That's what she said. All right, that's all I got.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Ken rosenthaland Bridge Ararly with a story that's not getting
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: any coverage yet because it's the World Series. But the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Rockies have begun to pair down their list Amiel Sade
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: assistant GM with the Diamondbacks and Cleveland assistant JM. Matt
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Foreman or two of the finalists. They don't know there
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: could be more, but we do know that James Click
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: is out. Scott Sharp, the assistant in the front office
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: for Kansas City, is out. So they're still working on it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: But it's going to be an external candidate, and really
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that should be our analysis. Good job, Colorado, because if
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you get an external candidate that knows what he's doing, Kratz,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: we will have a new number one in the Pirate
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: rankings for biggest hot mess branch. Actually they're already number
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: one probably, but the Angels are definitely.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Angels are if they're one and the Angels are one
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: A or one B.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Depending Rockets don't have as many scandals either.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Well, no, it's because they've had the same people in
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: place there for thirty years.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did hear that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: When they talked about Bill Schmidt stepping down, they gave
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it to Zach Rosenthal, who then resigned soon after that.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He found out he was taking over during the meeting.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: They even talked to him on the side. That's pretty
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: amateur status. That's when you say, yeah, that's when you say, hey,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I think it's time that someone else takes over and
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: that they really do it and we stop mom and
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: pop shopping. It I did hear that, so I think
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I can get somebody to talk about that on the record.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: But we'll deal with that in the off season.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: I'm not a fan of firings, but if that's the case,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: if they're definitely going outside of the organization, which the
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: Rockets can still pivot, there might be a lot of firings.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: There might be a lot of people that, you know,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: the whole office space where they're.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: Like, so what is it that you do here?
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: So what is it that you do here? And guys
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: gonna be like, what's my swing lane? Staplers, this is
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: my this is this is my pen, this is this
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: is my pen.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: I actually write things down for the Rockies, and then
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: the Rockies play games and I write stuff down exactly.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: By the way, Happy birthday to Kazmatsui.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: He was the original aner Fisser guy, anal Fisser guy.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: He actually went on the d L I L at
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: the time with a real Anal Fisher. So, kazmatsu I
