  Speaker 1: Tuesday. It's Tuesday on ft Broun Prizinski Kratz, I'm hosting
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a show with two catchers. I don't remember if we
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: shouted this guy out the other day, Ridolfo Durant. Did
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: we shout him.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Out the other day the other day when he got
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: called up first time in ten years he was in
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the minor leagues.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was parts of eleven seasons in the minors,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and then he had his first hit, which was a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: homer over the weekend. He's getting a little bit of
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: playing time right now, while there's some injury issues for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the Padres, including camp Fusano. But good for him, I mean, Kratz,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: when you see a guy like that, do you do
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: one of these like a respect.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the brotherhood and he is the he
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: is the He's the majority, not the minority. The minority
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: are the superstars, like the guy in the other box here,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the guy that's golfing at Grove twenty three or whatever
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the grove, like, those are the superstars. Those guys are
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the minorities. Rodolfo duran For him to be able to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: get to the big leagues, very few guys ever get there.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: And the guys that do rarely get much time in
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the big leagues. But he was younger than I was
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: when I got up there, so you know what, maybe
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you can still get He can still get ten years
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: in the big leagues. Everybody's career is different, so good
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And it was no cheapie. It was a homer off
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert, So that's a good one. Sign me up
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: for that. AJ. How did you treat backup catchers when
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they came up if they had been marinating in the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: minors for a while.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Everyone gets respect, Scott. Every guy gets respect, doesn't matter
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: what position you are. Yeah, but backup catchers obviously have
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a special place for me because I was a catcher,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: so I understand the work it took to get to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: be a catcher in this league. And yeah, guys that
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: put in that much time, man, it was awesome. You
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: cheer for those guys. I remember we had a guy
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: with the white with the Braves. He got one game.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I forget his name, but he got one game. It
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: was the four Bragg game. We got to play an
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: extra guy at the four Bragg game we played against
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: the Irelands in twenty sixteen, and he came up and
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: he got one game. He got one day in the
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: big leagues. He was a Cuban guy and he was
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: could not have been happier and we were all happy
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: for him. And he never got to see another day
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: in the big leagues. And I think we got him
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: in a bat in that game, and uh, it was
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: pretty awesome for that guy. But the guys that the
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: guys that come up and don't get a lot of time,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: or the guys you care the most about because you
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: know what they've been through and if they get a
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: week or a day, it's something they can always put
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: on their their resume that hey, I got to play
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: in the major leagues for one second.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: There's there's dudes. There's dudes get caught up like that.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: They're like, ah, here's no chance. Jacob Stallings was kind
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of that way filled in you know about Jacob Stallings. Now, like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: once you get a chance. I'm not saying that everybody
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: misses on these guys or whatever it is, but once
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you get a chance and you're like, Okay, I'm willing
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to do what it takes. I get optioned down. Because
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: now Rodolfo's eight twenty nine years old, you got He's
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: still got three options. Just like Dylan Cruz who just
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: got called back up. He could get optioned up and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: down three more years in a row. He's not there
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to make a billion dollars like some superstars. But if
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you can get a chance, you learn, you get better,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: then you have to fight for another chance. Those are
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: those stories. I really everybody really likes hearing those stories.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: And like when he gets called up, you're like, oh,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you know he's filling in, he's the backup, get some time,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. You never know. You never know what
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: happens ten years down the road, he might have had
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: a nice career.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. One evaluation note too before we dive into some news.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: And I played basketball growing up, and when you'd go
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: to a tournament and there's a kid who's like d
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: one talent or a few that you'd come across that
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: made it to the NBA, Like you all know, it's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a little tougher in baseball. I just think about Stallings
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: as you mentioned him, and I was calling games in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the Cape Cod Baseball League. Stallings was a catcher for UNC,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: had like no bat and on that roster, the summer
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: league roster, he was probably like bottom three in terms
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of when you'd look at him and it wasn't just
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the results but everything right, Like of guys you would
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: think make it, you made it and only a few
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: others did. So it's just a cool story to see
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: guys rise and develop and sometimes take a lot of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: time deep into their twenties to actually turn into something
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that's capable of being a big leaguer.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: It happens on all levels. AJ's a fringe Hall of Famer.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: We were you second round? AJ? Or were you late
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: first round, third third round, third round? Never in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: top one hundred prospect? And JJ is coming on later today.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: But they don't hit it all the time, and unfortunately
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that kind of keeps some guys like, oh, I'm going
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to hang around. I'm going to hang around. Doesn't happen,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: doesn't happen for everybody. But the aim allows something different
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: than all the other sports allow you. In football, you
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: ain't big enough, you ain't playing basketball. Sorry, you can't
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: handle the ball and you're you know, you're six point four.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: You ain't making the NBA. Sorry, like it's not happening.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Baseball allows that stuff.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why there's cool stories here, tons of them,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and the debut stories are awesome too when the family
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: show up. Okay, I just wanted to spend a little
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: time on that. Now let's get some news charge about. Oh,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: this is a tough one. The obleaque strikes again. We
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: talked about it, and we saw AJ's o'bleaque last week
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: from his injury when he had it in the Majors
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and it was bad looking. So here's one for Drake Baldwin.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: AJ the Brave star catcher, Rookie of the Year last year,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just putting together a brilliant season, one of the best
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: lefty on lefty power guys too as a left handed hitter,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: just doing it all for a team that's got the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: best record in baseball. Now he goes down with a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: strained right obliqu muscle. Sean Murphy was back for a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: minute and he's out. Remember they had to cut Jonah him.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They actually just released Aaron Bummer. Two's in the final
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: year of a three year, nine and a half million
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: dollar deal. But to Baldwin, where are we at on
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: how the Braves will navigate this with the Phillies chasing them?
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: This sucks for Drake Baldwin, Rookie of the Year. They lost
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Sean Murphy already. How they going to navigate it? They're
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: luckily they have a little bit of a gap for
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. I know everyone wants them to win the division,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: but they have a little bit of a gap. This
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: isn't as bad, I don't think as losing a Chris
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Sale and an Elder or something like that. But this
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: is gonna sting because he was bat in lead off
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: for him a lot of games too, and he was raking.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: He's probably gonna deserve to go to the All Star Game,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Drake Baldwin as he should. Yes, Chadwick Trump and Sandy
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Leon a solid, but this is not the same as
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Drake Baldwin as Sean Murphy. I'm sorry, and this is
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: this is gonna sting a little bit these Braves. But
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: listen to me. One thing we've learned about the Braves
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: so far, forty plus games into this season. They have
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the depth and they have the ability to figure out
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: how to just keep on winning. Except when they played
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the Marlins and they lose twelve to one.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, everybody loses some games, but to me, losing
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Drake Baldwin, I'm not sure who we had on I
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: think it was Hayesu's cano. I asked him what would
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: be the biggest blow, and I disagree with what AJ said.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: AJ said, yeah, Sale or Elder going down would be huge,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: But they've the Braves have a stockpile of pitching. Somehow
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: they come up with somebody from somewhere, and I get it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: They weren't able to do it last year when they
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: had all five of their rotation pieces out. But hay
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Sus said last week he writes for The Athletic and
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: he covers the Braves. He was like, I think if
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: they would lose Drake Baldwin, that would be a that
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: would be the biggest blow because I feel like and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: felt like the Braves were in command of this division
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: just because at the time ten games back is tough
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: to overcome. It's still a lot to overcome for the Phillies,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: but losing your MVP candidate from the team, and I
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: think Olson's probably there too. I think Matt Olson, but
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: losing it behind the dish and people will say, well,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: you know so and So's numbers are better than this guy.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: He was catching, he was catching, and when he wasn't catching,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: he was locking down that DH position, which they really
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: left open for the combination of Murphy and Drake Baldwin.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: And now they're both out, plus they're both out to
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: not catch behind the dish. It's gonna be a huge blow.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: They go to the veterans, Chadwick, Trump's been there forever,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Sandy Leone's been everywhere forever, and I think it's something
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: that those guys are gonna have to step up. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: because they're gonna step up and have not nearly the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: offensive production, it's gonna be this is This is a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: huge blow, as huge a blow as I think this
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: team could have taken at this time of the year.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: We love our who splays out in the open sun
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: on our floor like she's an underwear model, and that's
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: why we love her so much. To scratch her belly.

• 10:02
  Speaker 1: for hopefully an offensive. He's different position. I know, I understand.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I know it's not the same. I'm just bringing it up.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're going to talk about offense. We're gonna talk
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: about offense, and Acunya can take over. I don't know
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: what was Drake Baldwin's one sixty three ops plus. We
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: all think cocun is going to hit better than he
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: did before, but one sixty three ops plus behind the
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: plate is just one other position in the lineup. What
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: he does behind the dish, What he does every single day.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Getting those pitchers ready is something that is really really
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: hard to duplicate. It's really hard to not have that
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: one steady piece behind there, especially since now in these games,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Chadwick Trump might start now, they're going to probably pinch
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: hit for him in the seventh if they're If they're
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: behind now in the eighth and ninth, you have a
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: different catcher coming in. It's a It's something that I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: think some teams don't put a lot of value on.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I think the teams that are really good do put
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of value on it. The same consistent look
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: behind the dish for each of these pitchers to get
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: them through the game. Because half of this Braves team
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: has been offense, the other half has been pitching because
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and they're number one in both. Something's gonna slide when
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you lose something in your offense, and something's going to
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: slide when you lose something on the defensive side of
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: the ball.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And to me, aj if this wasn't the automatic MVP
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: National League for sho Heyotani, Drake Baldwin is in the conversation,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: you know, I like to just start with fangraft spoort
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just to pop up some guys that I know will
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: get love from the voters that go heavy on that front.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Drake Baldwin was near the top here in the National League,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: it's Otani, and then for position players it's Elie de
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: la Cruz and number three is Drake Baldwin, tied with
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the number of others at two point two f four,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So he deserves to be in the competition up to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: this point. Of course, he's going to miss time. He's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: probably gonna get wiped out of that conversation, but it
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was that kind of impact and it's funny we joked
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that if cal Riley can't win, can any catcher win?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's always dependent on different the competition looks like, yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: Different league, he's not. I mean, Otani's numbers are down.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I know he's pitching great, but his numbers are down
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: a little bit offensively. So Aaron Judge isn't having as
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: great of a year as he had last year. If
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: cal Rily did what he did this year and Aaron
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Judge's numbers play out the way they have this year,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: then he probably would win. But Aaron Judge is a special,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: special player.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah he's not, but he's not a lock He's not
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a lock like show, but no, last year's was ridiculous.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. But the point is that Drake Baldwin
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: has been morphing from the Rookie of the Year last
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: year into an MVP candidate this year. He's been that
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: good for Atlanta. And it plays to your point too, Kratz.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: So the offense is banging for the Braves, and so
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is the pitching run prevention, and it was looked at
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: as a potential liability for the team. We've talked a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: lot about how someone like Jeremy Heppner joined the fold
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and has made a difference for the team. But what
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: about the catcher who's buying the plate for most of
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the outings? There got to get some credit.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Got it? Both of them got to get credit. There's
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: so much that goes into pitching that we could have
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: a whole section. We're gonna have a whole show about this.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's just yeah, it's part of it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Let's mix in some news. While the TV crowd is
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: in their commercial break, the Yankees are discussing having Garrett
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Cole returned to the rotation instead of going for one
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: more minor league start. This hasn't been set yet. This
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: is a tweet from Brian Hoke and a quote from
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Aaron Boone. We're talking through everything. It's been a minute.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: He's a veteran to me aj it's hey, Garrett, you
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: good for the bigs now? And if it's a yes,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: then great, let's go.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: He's been around long enough now that Garret Cole knows
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: his body and knows if he's ready or not. And
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: we'll see. We'll see what they do. Plus they lost Freed,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: uh Verdon hasn't been great. We'll see. But I meant
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: you get that rotation back, You get Chlitler, you have Freed,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: you have ever done, You have the rest of these guys,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Will Warren, who's been really good for him. This is
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: a formidable rotation.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It is. I don't think anybody's worried. That's why it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not much of a story. But what they just had,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like a two and seven road trip something like that. Kratz,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: there's no concern there. The pitchings there, there's plenty of offense.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: In my mind, looks like a good regular season team.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Do you think there's any urgency within the front office
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: because of how damn good the Rays have been? The
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: freaking clocked the Orioles again last night, just because you
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: want to win the division, you want to get a buye.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: You don't think there's anything there.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: As much as I know the front office with the
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Yankees just loves the rais. What are they doing? What
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: do they have there? Can we get a roof? Can
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: we get all this tech and all this stuff? Like
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: they look at the Rays and they're like, wow, amazing. No,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're worried about him in that sense
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: in the standing, because I think they I think they've
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: beat their team. I think Garret Cole was always going
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: to come back sooner. He's stubborn, he's a veteran. He
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: knows what he needs to do, and he doesn't want
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: to pitch in minor league games. Clearly as he's hitting
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: minor leaguers and.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Not caring that.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: As catcher gets hitting the nuts all that stuff.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Tarps off is now a thing taking over major League baseball.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: We have footage from last night in Saint Petersburg, Florida,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: at the trap. Hey, J this is our people, the Florida.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: These are our people. I love it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I love this has to become a thing. This is
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: so cool. Listen, anything to get people engaged with baseball. Okay,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know if they need to take their shirt
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: off because of the drop they're indoors, but I freaking
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: love this. And the Raids are playing really well, so
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: maybe it'll help them win another game. But yeah, I
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: love this. I think it's super cool. I think that
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: we're getting young people involved. This isn't the sixty year
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: old male going over there taking their shirt off. This
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: is the younger people going over there taking their shirt
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: off and doing this, And this is what we want.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: We want young people engaged in baseball. And hey, if
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: they got to take their shirt off, Scott, you should
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: join them.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, if that's what gets them excited. I mean,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I would only do it for some type of you know, incentive,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: like we reach a million subscribers or something like that.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I need to be incentivized, because I'm not a kid anymore. Dude,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I probably would.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: We would reach a million if you took your shirt off.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I've seen yeah, I've seen the sticks that people you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: pay money for what you got right there. Okay, they
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: want to see.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: That, thank you, thank you. Hey, people want to see
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the rays more. This year they were May last year
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: they just jumped Trevor Rodgers yesterday. I mean there were
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: two storylines there. It's like, are the Orioles okay with
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: this version of Trevor Rodgers? And no, are the Raids
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: really this damn good sixteen six they won yesterday?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: They're not okay if he's not pitching? Well, is it?
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yep? That's the take one for the Padres to start
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the series against the Dodgers. Just a little one nothing
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: first inning homer for Miguel and dujar Off, a two
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: two splitter from Yamamoto and then him against Michael King
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: was fun to watch for a while. AJ and then
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the ninth inning was fun too, with Mason Miller being like, ah,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I'm just messing with you. I got my command back
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and finishing out a one nothing win for the Padres.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: But isn't this exactly what people talk about with the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: run differential, like Ken mentioned in his segment plus ninety
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: three versus plus eight, And you know why, it doesn't
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: matter that much because the Padres bullpen's nasty and they
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: don't need to win by ten runs.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: No, but it's hard to win every game one run game, crowd, you.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Know, this.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: It's hard. I mean, I know their bullpen's amazing, but
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: it is hard to do this. That's why I run differential.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: It does matter because usually scoring more. But this game
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: was awesome to watch. I mean it was on. I
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: was watching it last night late on the East Coast.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I'm trying. I got the toothpick in my eye and
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: trying to keep my eyes open to watch his game.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: And Duhar hits a home run. The Dodgers have a
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: couple of chances in this game, but other than that,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Michael King Man, Wow, nasty. Then the bullpen coming in. Wow,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Mason Miller does what he does. This is just good baseball.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: This is two teams. San Diego was rocking last night.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: They had to beat La Chance going on. This is
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: just good old baseball.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I love people say, oh we went offense. We went offense.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: At the end of the day, who doesn't love a
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: good old fashion pitchers doing. We got one from Yamamoto
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: and Michael King two guys on their teams that you
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: can say, are there ones, and they are both really good.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: They both shine. Last night Yamamoto hung the one split
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: to and new Hart. And by the way, if you
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: didn't see that at bat. I was a good at
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: bat by Andhr he actually hit a ball foul. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: think the pitch to one or two pitches before a
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: curveball that was a home run foul. And then he
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: stayed in there. He took some good pitches from Yamamoto
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and then made got the one mistake and hit it
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: for a home run. And it was This was a
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: good game. This was a fun game to watch if
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: you like baseball.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Some wireless plans can get a little bit crazy, a
• 19:08

• 19:19
  Speaker 3: I like that the way gas prices are going up, Scott,

• 20:05
  Speaker 2: It's tough to put together a lot of wins consistently
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: for one hundred and sixty two games if you don't
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: hit for enough power, if you're looking for two or
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: three hits to score a run. And that's where the
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: it's not just homers, it's you know, being able to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: drive the ball to the gap. And right now the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Padres don't have a lot of power, and what will
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: happen and why Aj said it's hard to constantly win
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: one run games, and you hear it. The teams that
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: make the playoffs and make a deep run, Oh, they're
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: twenty four and seven and one run games. Absolutely that
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: can be the difference in your season. It is one
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: run games. The issue is if you're always playing so
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: many one run games, then your bullpen is gonna get cashed.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Even even a Padres bullpen that is five deep with
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: so many guys that that are out there, like it
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: feels like they just find somebody new. They got rid
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: of Robert Suarez, they bring someone else in. You have Estrata,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: you have Morejne, you have Miller, you have Adam who's
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: coming back from a catastrophic injury last year. To be
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: able to esentially look exactly the same. It's just tough.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: It's tough because they have five deep. That's great, but
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I also don't think besides Michael King last night, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: don't think their starters go long enough to say, okay, guys,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: you guys get a break, like they need that guy
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: to step up. And if Michael King becomes that guy
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: all season, that's huge. But you also don't want to
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: wear your starters out because you're gonna need somebody for
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the end of the seat, for the playoffs to be
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: able to make those starts for you.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that is going to come back at some point.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I know he's going to miss it good chunk of
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: time here, but he was really good for them.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Last year and Michael King has to be that guy.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And Michael King showed last night like he's playing with
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: him in Triple A before he made the big leagues
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: and then in the big leagues with the Yankees, like
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: he gets it. He's a pitcher who learns. He learns
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: from his last stouting. He learns from watching different guys throw.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: And he doesn't watch just guys that throw like him.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: He watches guys that, you know, attack guy. Okay, look,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: this team doesn't hit the slider. Well, I don't like
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: my slider tonight, I'm fine with it. I'll run that sinker.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: He has such good variation on his his sinker runs
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: in and his slider runs away. And he's really perfected
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: that kind of turn to keep to keep teams from
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: being able to see the ball out of his hand.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So I mean, right now, that contract that they gave
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: him three years seventy five is paying off. But the
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: thing with Michael King, if he is their one true
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: guy in that rotation, if Paveta comes back and is okay, like,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: can they keep him healthy? They don't have the luxury
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: that the Dodgers have of saying, don't worry about it,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: go get healthy, we'll see you in October. Padres can't
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: do that, and that's that's why I think the Padres
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: will ultimately fall a little short of Dodgers. By the
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: end of the season in the regular.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Season, AJ, do you feel the same way. I know
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you've said this where you're like, eh, Dodgers are going
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: to take the division. But last year, I mean they
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: didn't take a byspot, right, they didn't have a top
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: two spot. They did win the division. It did get
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: somewhat close. I think the Padres missed out by a
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: few games. The Padres are a half game better than them.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I know it's only a quarter into the season. Do
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you see any scenario here where the Padres can withstand
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers here during an entire division race and take
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: them over and take this down based on how the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: bullpen results have been. And also, I mean it has
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: just as much to do with the Dodgers, right they're
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: down Snow he's getting the surgery, the nanoscope glass now
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: has got the back flare up. You know, Rokie had
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a good start last time, but he's been training wheels difficult.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: So your thoughts on if this series helps us to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: determine if we think the Padres can keep up with
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: No, it doesn't. I think it's great for like I said,
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: for baseball, it's great for the city and Diego. If
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: the Padres is going to win this series and get
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: a lead on the Dodgers, but at the end of
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: the day, the Dodgers still are the best team one
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: through twenty six, one through forty, let's say one through fifty.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: How many other players they have to use this year,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: and their depth usually wins out and that's why they're
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: back to back World Series champions do I think in
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: a series they can lose this, but over the long haul,
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be tougher a team like
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: the Padres because if they have any kind of injury problems,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: especially in their starting rotation like Kratzai, then it'll wear
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: on them. But I love this again. I love this
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: because you know what this does, and this is all
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: the people at MLB and all the people at Rob
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Manford's office are going to hate this. But it just
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: shows you that money doesn't guarantee you a championship. It
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: doesn't guarantee you winning the division. Look at the Mets, right,
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: you have to spend wisely, you have to spend correctly,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: and yes, you can cover some warts if you have depth,
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, there are teams
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: out there like the Padres that try every year, right
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: that are doing it. The Braves, Yes, I know they
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: have a big payroll, not as high as the Phillies.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: They're ahead of them, so it doesn't necessarily mean that
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: you can spend and spend and spend and automatically win.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, I mean, I
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: still think the Dodgers are the best team in Major
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: League Baseball when healthy, and right now they're not healthy.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: What about three players that are a huge part of
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the team, all in the six hundred or less ops
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: range age even if one or two of them doesn't recover.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: There's no way that Jackson marril Manny Machado and for
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: an edit, Tatis Junior they're all going to have six
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: hundred ops is at the end of the year.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: But also is the bottom of their lineup going to
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: keep going and doing what they're doing? Have you seen
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: the bottom of their lineup? I mean, listen, I love
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Gavin Sheets, He's one of my favorite dudes ever, former
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Whitesaw great, but he's is he going to continue to
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: do what he's doing in the bottom of their order
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: that like five through nine, Ty France and some of
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: these other guys are they going to continue to do
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: what they're doing. It's ebbs and flows. Yes, you count
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: on the superstars to stay the same and carry a team,
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: but the bottom of the lineup is like this, and
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: right now, the bottom of the Padres lineup is one
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: of the best to baseball.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and and duheart yesterday in the two spot. Man,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: he's got a good position as bat. He can hit,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you know, dhing yesterday like that, dude, he's found it.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It took some time, right, that's your classic case of
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: a guy who's supposed to be this big deal prospect
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and it took a minute. But the Padres made a
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: nice move there, and the league liked him. They wanted him.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: What the shoulder crats is that what you're saying that
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: messed him up a.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Little while, way bigger than people think he used to
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: have that. It wasn't it wasn't crime, dog, But you
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: look at what he did his rookie year when he
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: first came up. His finish on his swing was really
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: up over top. And that shoulder, that shoulder injury, it
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: sapped a lot. I get it. He's out on the field,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: just like Maddy McLain last year was out on the field,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: that shoulder injury is a big deal, just like every
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Padres fan told me Fernando Tatista's shoulder injury big deal.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: But I saw it. I saw it with Mickey because
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I saw him when he first got called up. I
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: saw him come up through the minor leagues and seeing
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: him in the big leagues and the way he attacked
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the ball, even last night's homer, Like if you go
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: back and watch his early career swings, he's had to
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: make adjustments and he's and he's re established himself last
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: year with the A's and now this year he's established
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: himself in a lineup where it's like, well, you're not athletic,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you're not getting on the field, but we're not going
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: to pay for a d H. So there's a spot
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: there and he's got to he's got to continue to bang.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, more California ball talk, since this show has West
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Coast bias. Clearly, let's go to the Angels. How fun
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: was that? I mean, Ahja, you've been part of perfect game,
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: no hitter action. So this was a no no for
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: JT Gin heading into the freaking ninth and it gets
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: erased and the game gets erased for a dub for
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: them in two batters. The loss one hundred complete game loss.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Jtgain pitched his tail off, and this is one of
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: the things, man, when you're when you're doing a no hitter,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: you're in the middle of a no hitter, don't mess
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: it up. But the problem was they hadn't scored any runs.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: The A's hadn't scored any runs. So zero zero going
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: to the ninth. Yes, they scored the one in the night,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: but then they give up a two spot. Oh man,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: if you're see, if you're Mark Cott saying you're the
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: manager of the age, you're like, please score four or
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: five guys, take me out of this, because what do
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: you do as the manager? You can't take him out.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: He hadn't give up a hit. He gives up one hit,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: He's still probably your best option. He's been dealing, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: then of course Netto hits a home run. By the
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: way we talked about yesterday, I believe that he's the
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: one guy on this team that looks like he's really
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: engaged and in the middle of it. So besides Strout obviously,
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: but man, you feel for Jtgin because he was dealing.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: I look at my I kept looking at my phone. Jggain,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: no hitter, through six, j again, no hit or through
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: seven J again three outs away and then oh they
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: lose on a walkoff. Homer, Man, that that one's stinging.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That's one of those ones you never forget.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Man, it just happened so fast. It happened so fast,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: and I mean I would encourage anybody to go back
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and look. If you don't know who JT. Ginn is
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: and you get to watch his stuff from last night,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: it's really really just sometimes non competitive lineup in the Angels.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I don't care who it was that ball was that
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: doll was spinning yesterday. It was he was. He was nasty, clearly.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And then it just happened so fast. Fraser hit the
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: line drive and you're like, oh that's tough. Wack Homer,
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: what wait a minute. You didn't even have a chance
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to warm anybody up. And I don't think you could
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: have warmed anybody up in that situation.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Now you needed run support. And also, I mean the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: tarps off mania is just everywhere. It was also in Anaheim.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: We actually have a sound from it because you know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I think Arnie Marina was like, oh this is cool,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: we get this and then he was like, wait a sack. Good.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I heard what you guys are saying, Well, I would
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: sell the team. That was pretty loud from the crowd.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: College kids. They were bringing it. Speaking for the people.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Going to college trying to do stuff.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Tarps off is everywhere. By the ways, off is everywhere.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: You're not all getting into the clubhouse people, You're not
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: all getting into the clubhouse. Okay, because that's not that
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: group at all. They were a little bit.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: They were like, let's do something for them. And then
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: they were like, wait what did what did they say? Okay,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: never mind.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: They're they're saying, smell the beef. That's what they're saying. Smell.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It was good, good Burger night out there in Anaheim,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and a good win for a team that is perhaps
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: the worst in baseball. It has just been a miserable
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: season for them. But a two to one win for
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the Angels to turn the game around in five seconds. Hey,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: we're following this one pretty closely because there was just
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: so much weight put on his shoulders to start the season.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Roman Anthony with a setback, soreness, and his wrist during
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: his first time swinging a bat. We'll look at the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: team side. I do want to mention the individual side too.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: AJ Sometimes when people call a player out for taking
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: a contract, they should look at how things go sometimes
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: for players earlier in their career. Now, might he give
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the team so much surplus value ultimately? Sure, but also
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: you could run into risks shoulder like we were just
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: talking about with Miel and Duhart, and all of a sudden,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you know, wipe out some years of your career, or
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: arbitration money should be higher and you know all of that. Instead,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have to worry about that. He's got a
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: firm contract in hand.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: This is why I always say take your first one.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I know certain agents will say no, no, no,
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: hold out, hold out, hold on. I get that. But
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: also these things happen and he's got that contract to
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: fall back and he'll be fine. He's a position player,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: he should come back. He'll be fine. But man, this
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: is why you're like, oh, I got one hundred and
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: fifty million in the bank. Okay, cool. No matter what happens,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: it's a nice little thing to a nice little pillows
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: got to be able to fall back.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: To it is, and for Boston Krafts the same good
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: since they let go of Cora and his staff, their
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: offense is even worse.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Well, it's probably not. It was probably Cororra's fault. Probably
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: the coaches, probably the both hitting coaches. I think didn't
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: they get rid of dyl Mawson and the head guy.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, but they definitely did a reshuffle there
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: with the hitting, the hitting specifically point of all those Yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: big point of contention. They want everybody doing the pulled
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: fly ball contact thing. Pull your fly balls.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I heard I heard a player with the Yankees, and
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: this is the Yankees, not the Red Sox. He was
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: told that his OPS was five hundred points or four
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: hundred points higher when he pulled the ball in the
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: air down the left field line. He was like, what
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: he's like, of course it is. Nobody plays there. That's
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: not a good swing. That's not healthy. So maybe the
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Red Sox keep making those types of swings. It's gonna
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: be a long season in Fenway.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to get more stories too from hitters
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: having dissension with what's being implemented exactly for what Kratz
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: is talking about. AJ. We could do a whole segment
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: on it, and we will once there are more stories
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: that come out about it, but it's ugly.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: If I could hit a line every time, I would
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: have hit a thousands.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Did you guys see this when virals Salvador Perez get
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: some abs challenges on last DS and then after two
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: in a row, he like looks down at him next
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to him. Of course, some people are like, oh, you
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: know getting in their shots at ups and hey, our
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: show will do that too. In this case, that was fun.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: That's good entertainment. That's just two humans getting along. Like aj,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you appreciate that. All the back and forth
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: you had for years with umps like, that's the good stuff.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: That's the human element of getting along.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, last, last, Last made a joke out of it,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: and know it was good to lighten the mood and
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: made it cool. I love this so usually it was
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: like uh oh one, nope, overturned, two overturned, third ones close,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: and last is like you don't want to challengees one?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: There saw me so good on last for not getting
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: mad and understanding and having a good time with it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: I can really appreciate when umpires understand that they're not
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: perfect at their job.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is exactly if you look up at
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: last das his numbers behind the dish. They very much
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: in line with Angel Hernandez. Angel Hernandez handles it differently.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Las handles it. Sometimes you see you see him get
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: pissed off and he and he chirped back at guys.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: But he just has a different type of relationship with guys.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Obviously he's got place in my heart. He caught he
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: was behind the dish for me in my first, my
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: first ever big league game, and so but he creates
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: that relationship. He wasn't trying to show up Salvi with
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: some of the first ABS's that we've seen ABS challenges
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: we've seen this year. You see guys like I think
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: it was Stebee Buckner was like challenging, Oh you challenge
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: another one, unbelievable. What Oh, I'm wrong. So it's all
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: like it's treating each other like you're both professionals. Not
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: that we got to treat each other with kid gloves.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: But don't be a don't don't be don't try to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: be a superhero out there. So Las made a little
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: bit of a little bit of a joke out of it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: I loved it.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: And on the topic of not being perfect, the Mets
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Nationals came and the confusion and extras, also showing us
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the human element of umpires. The me's broadcasters all over them.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: You make mistakes, you make mistakes. I'm glad they went
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: and checked at least, and they weren't like in high
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: school games, because I'd deal with high school umpires. They're like, no, no, no,
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: we're not going to check. I was like, well, could
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: I get the rule book out? They're like, you get
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: the rule book out, you're going to be what do
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: they say, something like banned to the bench? Like you're
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: not thrown out of the game anymore, you have to
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: go sit on the bench. So I'd have to sit
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: on the bench for the rest of the game. I'm like, well,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: you got the rule wrong. Unintentional contact is not the
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: call there, So.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Ready for some accounting cash going both ways In the
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Eric Lower deal, Shida Beati from Sportsnet posted the math
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: league minimum the rest of the way. It is five
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: to fifty K. The Dodgers are paying about six hundred K,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: so about the league minimum for Eric Lower. The Blue
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Jays are sending about two and a half million to
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers to cover the pro rated remainder of Lower's salary,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: there will not be a player to be named later,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: So this is just a cash deal. Deal guarantees the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays a taker for pro rated portion of the
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: league minimum. Add it all up, and actually, aj many
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: fans are pissed that the Blue Jays handed lower and
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: think that he's probably going to help the Dodgers right now,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: like it's it's risk aburst because if you throw them
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: out there. In general, I guess they were thinking no
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: team was going to pick him up for the league minimum.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I disagree. I think a team would have scooped him
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: up if the Dodgers didn't. But I'm not in on
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: all of those conversations.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Right just shows you how much the Blue Jays want
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: to get rid of them after what he said. I mean,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: this was a we need big fans of you right now,
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Eric Lauer, after the things you said about not being
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: a starter or the opener or whatever. The heck he's
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: you know, all the things he said about it's not
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: comfortable and all that, and they're like, well, you're not
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: a team player. We can find somewhere else wee to go,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: and he ended up in Los Angeles, So I think
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: he's doing okay. But yeah, I mean, this was just
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: a strictly we're not happy with you. We're going to
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: try and get rid of you. And unfortunately for the
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays, the Dodgers picked him up and now they're
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: covering so a salary. But this is the way things happen.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: If they were really pissed Chross, they should have banished
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: him to Denver. I mean, they gave him to the Dodgers.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: He's gonna start this week. What are we doing?
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, Denver didn't want them. They they they're they're
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: looking for bulk guys. They're looking for guys who are
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: gonna be openers to start in front of their start,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: in front of their prospects. But they're gonna they're gonna
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: give Jose Quintana the whole start. But that's that's a
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: whole Oh and Shiguano, Shighano is gonna start in the
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: first inning, but not not our best pitcher. But anyway,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: but yeah, like Eric Lauer put him in, they put him.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: He put himself in the spot by the words he
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: said yes. But also he had a six and a
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: half e ra too. Like the worst thing you can
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: do is say something and pitch bad and It's just
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I hope it doesn't come back to bite the Blue
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Jays because you're not gonna run tray you savage out
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: there night in and night out. Five you know, five
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: days or five starts in a row, you're gonna have
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: to give him some time off. So it's so he
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: stays healthy. But where are they going to find those innings?
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: They clearly were like, it's not gonna be from Eric Lauer.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: So we parted ways.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I disagree he was not with you, but I don't
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: think he was the worst arm on the active roster. So,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: like AJ said, there were words, but I'm betting on
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: him doing well this week. Did you guys see this
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: from Adam Maco, who made his debut. He's Canadian. He
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: retired all three batters faced. Can we show the tweets?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: They're so good? There's two one. Both of them have
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: to do with him essentially blacking out throughout the entire
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: evening and not really recognizing the situation at Yankee Stadium
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: getting the call. So here's one quote from him postgame.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: My knees were weak. When I stepped on the field,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the lights went out, and I was like, this is
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: a cool entrance? Is this for me. Why are they
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: doing this? I'm on the road. It was amazing. I
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: honestly blacked out for a lot of it. And there's
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: one more. This is before the outing, he heard someone
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: in the Yankee bleacher screaming his name over and over
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: as he warmed up. So he's like, I have fantuonting him.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: No big deal up. It's his high school baseball coach.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: That is just too good. Aj like he was in
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: another world. He was on another planet the entire night.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: This is what happens when you make your big league debut.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: You don't remember a whole lot of stuff, so you
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: look back. There's a lot of times where in your
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: big league career you're like, man, I wish I remembered
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: more about this or that. So enjoy it. And this
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: is super cool because I mean, you get to bank
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: your big league debut in Yankee Stadium. Pretty awesome.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: He's a lefty too, He's a Canadian lefty. And he
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: said his knees were weak. I wonder if his arm
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: was heavy. I wonder if there was like any vomit
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: on his sweater already, Like if it was like mom's
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: spaghetti or something that would have been like a whole
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: crazy moment.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: It would have. I mean it was blackout status, and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: his lines post game were good. I mean it was
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: eight mile of performance on the postgame quotes. That's how
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: you got a fan base to love you real quick.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: You tell it like it is your Canadia.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: You get three outs against the Yankees.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: And that you helped to preserve the lead. But ultimately
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Jazz hit a homer off the foul pole to win
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: in seven to six for the Yanks in the first
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: of that series. But should be a fun one anyway,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: coming up next, we're going to do a little that's
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: what he said. It'll be somewhat quick. We'll get to
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: one quote from the Brewers manager who leads the league,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: and that's what he said, appearances, and then we'll get
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to the Twins news. There's a couple notes there with
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: some roster shuffling going on. Be right back.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, we know how these series go.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: You know, you erase it and just keep going. It's
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: not necessarily a game where they're gonna ever be intimidated
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: by guys they don't even know most of our guys' names,
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, So they're never going to
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: be intimidated by us.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: But we're not looking for that.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: We're looking for just turn around and play good again
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: and for us to you know, it's a long season.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: You know, we're forty forty five or forty six games in. Yeah,
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: it's a long season. So we're just looking to continue
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: to improve any way we can. And I'm proud of
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: our guys. Like I said, I've said all year, I
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: trust these guys. But we got to get better, there's
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: no question. And we got a very young pitching staff.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: So we've got to have games where we have five AB's,
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: you know, when the lineup turns over five times and
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: you know how good things are happening.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was after the Brewers jumped out do an
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: a nothing lead that they jumped show to Amanaga and
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the open up the Brewers Cup Series. And the Brewers
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: are playing just as good as the Cubs. They're always there,
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: Pat Murphy acting like it was, you know, posts eight
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: game losing skit and aj. We know the Brewers players.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: We know Corbyn Burns, we know Freddie Peralta, we know
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Caleb Durbin. We know all of his players.
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: This is just Murph trying to motivate his guys and
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: keep everyone. No. This is this is perfect Murph. This
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: is average shows, underdog story, the whole deal, the big
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: bad Cubs and Craig Council and here we are, the
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: lowly Brewer. This is classic Murph and I love it.
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, he pleased this up better than any other manager,
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: any other coach in the big leagues. And it's pretty
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: awesome that he can keep doing this. He keeps going
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: to the well and it keeps working because every time
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I hear it, I just laugh and so good on you, Murphy.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: Who they are? They know who they are, alright, Scott.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: They know. They just spent the last three days advanced
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: scouting them. They watched baseball. They're not just coming into
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: town going gee, I wonder what team. I know, we're
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: back in Wrigley right now. We love playing Wrigley. I
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: wonder what team we're playing? Who's that guy? Bro Jackson?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: What is it? Jackson Holiday? Oh no, Jackson, Churio, Christian Yelich.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: He had won off the scoreboard. Let's see who else?
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Who else can we throw out there? Like they got
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: three center fielders roaming around in Wrigley Field. They know
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: exactly who is out there. They know they're facing Masarowski tonight,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: who punched out eight plus in his last six starts
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: and like nine more than nine in whatever many starts
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: in his career. Yes, they know, they know who they are.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: That's my thing. Is you played for them? Are they
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: sitting there like nobody knows who we are? You just
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: named guys that are actually household names. Christian Yelich contraris
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: miz now with what he's done the past year and
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: a half that there's enough there for people to know.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Tario for sure.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Respect. Do people respect the opponent that you're playing? Yes?
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Are people feared of your Are you ever fearful of
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: your opponent? No? No, maybe maybe I'm wrong, Maybe maybe
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: AJ can tell me I'm wrong, But you're never going
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: We got no chance. The miss is thrown a night. No,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: you're like, give me a bat. I'm gonna try to
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: hit that too, Like, I get it. You understand what
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: guys have done, but nobody's nobody's intimidating anybody, Like who
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: we threw inside? That guy's so intimidating. No, that's not
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: that's not the game. I mean, maybe that's how they
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: played it before, but that's not the game. Where we're
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: at now, nobody's intimidating anybody. The Dodgers aren't intimidating anybody.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: Missus Jolly Green Giant ajas six foot seven, happy go lucky,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: Pokemon collecting, you know, neighborhood spider Man.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he does one hundred and four. It's awesome.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: But I mean, the Brewers are a good team. We
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: knew this coming into the year. And they beat the
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Cubs last night, and we'll see what happens today. But
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: the Cubs also lost to in a row to the
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: White Sox. So Go White Sox, and.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: They lost to the Cubs. The Cubs. The Cubs lost
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: last year in the playoffs to them. They know who
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: they're playing.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Two things with the Twins. Actually, there's been a lot
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: of roster moves with your first club, aj They optioned
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Matt Walner several days ago than today. They optioned Royce Lewis,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: and they lose Ryan Jeffers, who's been their best overall player.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: He's going to be out for a while with the
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: Hamlet Bone.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Tuplow with the Jeffers thing. He was having a
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: nice start to the year. I think he had seven
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: or eight homers, catching a lot, getting to play a lot,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: and leading the staff to better I think, I mean,
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: they're not in first place, but better than I think
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: we could have expected with the twins. But Royce Lewis
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: is the story. I mean, he won one like JJ
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: talked about, and here he is in Triple A after years
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: of just I really wish he could stay healthy and
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: prove what he can do well. He's been healthy. The
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: problem is he hasn't hit in almost a year. So
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: maybe I don't know what happened to his hit skill,
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: but he could always hit, and now for the last
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: year or so he has not been able to hit
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: the way that everyone expected him to.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: I'm impressed they sent him down, not that I want
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: anybody to get sent down. They sent Walner down. Walner's
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: you know, he probably becomes a d h you know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: the way he roams the outfield, his numbers and everything.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: But maybe Derek Shelton creating a environment where it's like, hey,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be the standard that we're looking for.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: If it's not there, we're going to send you to Rochester. Well,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: I guess now they're Saint Paul, but we're going to
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: send you a triple A. So I'm impressed that they
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: did that because a team that's not really well, the
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: owner thinks they're in contention, but really contention. Maybe they're
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: trying to set a standard, and you know what, if
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: you're not living up to that standard from your play
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: on the field, we're gonna try to get somebody else.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Because they brought Orlando Arcia up to replace Royce Lewis,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: who's not gonna He's not gonna light the world on
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: fire with his bat, but you know what, he'll fill
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: in with the glove and the game will go on.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and eventually Royce will be on another team and
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: he's gonna play better. I guarantee it. I can't speak
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: to the health component because I know he's had that problem.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: You can disagree with me, Guys, he's gonna go somewhere else.
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: He's gonna be a superstar. I don't know, but I
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: think he's just been through a lot. There some devastating injuries.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Then that the way the Twins have operated the last
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: few years, and you're one of the faces last year,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: cutting a third of the team. I know that's not
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: all his problem, but some guys are more emotional. They
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: wear it on their sleeves. And he's spoken openly about it, right,
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: like I never know where I stand. He just he's
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: gonna go somewhere else and be good.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: He was almost a superstar.
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: I agree when they were good and care.
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Aj. Did you see the other day when the NHL
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: stripped a draft pick from the Vegas Golden Knights for
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: not talking. Did you guys see that? Oh you didn't. Yeah,
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I guess I should have come prepared more with all
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: the details, but I just thought it was interesting. Yeah,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: they wouldn't talk to the media, led by who's the dude,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: someone's going to help me out behind the scenes. Okay,
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: so they got hit with a second round draft pick
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: and one hundred thousand dollars. Fine. John Tortorella, who I've
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: done television with, didn't want to talk, which I have
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: a problem with. You're a TV analyst in between jobs
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: and then now you're too big to talk to the media.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: And he only supplied one player post game, he didn't
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: talk at all, and most people were like, Hey, we're
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: the fans, we want to hear from the freaking players
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: in the coach after a playoff game. There were some
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: that were like, oh, we don't, we don't need to
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: be for that. Oh well, where are you going to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: get the postgame answers? Do you think he's going to
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: go like this, hey guys towards here with my postgame report,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Like you don't get anything from them unless they speak.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: You might not like every single question, but I thought
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: it was disgusting for him to just be like, I'm sorry,
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I'm too big for you guys, And good for the
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: NHL for smacking a second round pick loss on them.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: That's a big deal.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I was just trying to figure it out.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: I have a yeah, mm hm, you got nothing for
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: me on that. H I thought it was cool.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, good for the league, but I mean kind
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: of crappy on the on the nights or not talking right.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying like, if you were commission right and
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: that problem occurred, you come down hard, right, No they did.
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: I thought it was good.
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, so it's sets a precedent, but as a precedent,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: like you should have to talk to some extent maybe
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: if you give just brutal answers. But the NFL sets
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: it up incredible. They have guys available all the week
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: leading up and I get it. They played once a
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: week blah blah blah. But they've done a great job.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: And oh what league is the most successible and most
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: well advertised.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: And the most profitable. NFL. They know what they're doing. NFL,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: then NBA. Every player has a show and all that.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: You can like or hate that, but you got a
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: lot of inpo from them. They appealed the Knights and
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: the league said, yeah, beat it, you got to talk.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: They want to move on to the conference championship series
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: and they wouldn't talk. It's ridiculous. So dork of the week. Actually,
• 50:48
