- 0:00Speaker 1: There's a better chance of this card that I have
- 0:02Speaker 1: if Eli Dealer Cruise is ready to ten and cyld
- 0:04Speaker 1: Puck resizes your.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Tampa zero percent. Zero percent.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Hey, we're back from All Star feeling rested.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Now we must have had a different All Star than
- 0:20Speaker 2: I had. I mean, I was tired. I know.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I guys skip out of the game because after two
- 0:27Speaker 1: days of that, it's it wears it.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Down, it does, it does. Hey, a lot of guys,
- 0:31Speaker 3: I don't skip out.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Well, we don't skip out. I'll here a foul territory.
- 0:34Speaker 2: We show up.
- 0:36Speaker 3: No, we don't.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Hey, they just skips dinner with us, that's all.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Sometimes we have more important people we have to meet with. Krats.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Sorry, it could be more important than your teammates.
- 0:47Speaker 4: I didn't say. I didn't say my other teammates. Richer
- 0:52Speaker 4: people is what he means. Richer people, got it?
- 0:57Speaker 3: You know, many players skipped out the game, which is common,
- 1:01Speaker 3: but some fans didn't realize that when they were calling
- 1:04Speaker 3: for certain legends or superstars in today's game to be
- 1:08Speaker 3: part of the Home Runner, and people were like, they
- 1:11Speaker 3: already left on a private plane. That's how it works.
- 1:15Speaker 3: So anyway, let's get into that right now. The All
- 1:17Speaker 3: Star Game was pretty fun. There are a lot of
- 1:19Speaker 3: cool storylines. Let's hit it.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Charging about.
- 1:25Speaker 3: We got to start with the home run swing off
- 1:27Speaker 3: right aj first time we ever saw it. It was
- 1:30Speaker 3: implemented in twenty twenty two from the CBA when they
- 1:32Speaker 3: were like, yeah, we don't want to go into extra
- 1:35Speaker 3: innings and we won't have arms left and it'll just
- 1:39Speaker 3: get ugly, so let's do a swing off and see
- 1:41Speaker 3: what happens. What happened was a really entertaining product.
- 1:45Speaker 2: I'll tell you what they should do.
- 1:47Speaker 1: They might want to think about doing this in all
- 1:48Speaker 1: the regular season games. It was pretty awesome. Listen, people
- 1:52Speaker 1: loved it. Every person I talked to at first was like,
- 1:55Speaker 1: this is kind of weird, and then after it happened,
- 1:57Speaker 1: they changed their mind. Like my eighteen year old son
- 1:59Speaker 1: was like, when I saw I was like, what are
- 2:00Speaker 1: they doing? And then after I watched it, he was like,
- 2:03Speaker 1: that was really awesome. Now, it would have been cool
- 2:04Speaker 1: to have show Hay and Judge and some other people
- 2:07Speaker 1: in it, but I understand they were already gone. But listen, man,
- 2:10Speaker 1: it was still pretty entertaining and Schwarber. Schwarber got an
- 2:13Speaker 1: MVP out of it and didn't win any hits in
- 2:16Speaker 1: the game. He hit three, took three swings, and his MVP.
- 2:20Speaker 4: The bullpen, the catcher there, the bullpen catcher that came in.
- 2:23Speaker 4: He couldn't have been more juiced. He knows his his
- 2:26Speaker 4: paychecks going up too if the National League wins. But yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 4: I love the end of it. I would absolutely warn
- 2:35Speaker 4: everybody did not look forward in the regular season. It's
- 2:38Speaker 4: not gonna happen. This isn't travel ball.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Sorry, hold up, hold up.
- 2:43Speaker 1: It'd be cool, though, it'd be cool. Think about this
- 2:46Speaker 1: season game, regular season game. If it goes past like
- 2:48Speaker 1: let's say the eleventh inning, Okay, give them two winnings
- 2:51Speaker 1: to try and score. After the eleventh inning, it's Padres Dodgers,
- 2:56Speaker 1: and you get show Hey, Freddy and Taya Oscar versus
- 3:00Speaker 1: tatist Manny and Jackson Merrill.
- 3:04Speaker 2: You wouldn't want to see that. I'd want to see that.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I'd be I didn't. I didn't say I wouldn't want
- 3:09Speaker 4: to see it. It's not gonna happen. You're not gonna
- 3:12Speaker 4: take You're not gonna take that away. You've already shortened
- 3:15Speaker 4: the games, You've already like we're just gonna have an exhibition.
- 3:18Speaker 4: We're just gonna have, you know, some dudes come out
- 3:21Speaker 4: and just try to hit dangers. You want to see
- 3:23Speaker 4: guys hit dingers. Open the gates a little extra early
- 3:26Speaker 4: and let everybody in to watch VP.
- 3:28Speaker 3: That's not the same.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Know how to make it happen.
- 3:32Speaker 1: These homers count on their all time home run total,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and every player would be like, every single player would
- 3:40Speaker 1: be begging to do that.
- 3:41Speaker 2: Trust me. But yeah, I thought it was awesome. I
- 3:44Speaker 2: loved it the home run derby.
- 3:46Speaker 1: More people a lot more people now like the home
- 3:49Speaker 1: un Derby almost as much as the All Star Game,
- 3:50Speaker 1: if not more so. To add a home run derby
- 3:53Speaker 1: to the All Star Game is an exhibition. Why not
- 3:56Speaker 1: do this every third inning? And you can add.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Points and bonus balls and can make this real crazy.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Well, all right, let's try and find something realistic here.
- 4:05Speaker 3: So two questions, AJ. One, do you think it will
- 4:08Speaker 3: ever be considered?
- 4:09Speaker 2: Now?
- 4:09Speaker 3: I'm totally on board with you. The twelfth inning is
- 4:11Speaker 3: the spot. Give them two innings to figure it out
- 4:13Speaker 3: in extras otherwise go to the derby rules in the
- 4:16Speaker 3: regular season, not in the postseason. And two, would you
- 4:20Speaker 3: do it if you were commissioner.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Why not if people listen, if it makes a game
- 4:26Speaker 1: more entertaining, it makes people stay till the end, and
- 4:29Speaker 1: players are for it, why would you not think at
- 4:31Speaker 1: least look into it. I mean, I know it's a
- 4:33Speaker 1: little bit crazy, it's a little bit out there, but
- 4:35Speaker 1: I think it's a fun idea.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I mean, it got the excitement back.
- 4:38Speaker 1: More people were talking about the end of the All
- 4:39Speaker 1: Star Game than they were talking about Schemes versus Schooble
- 4:42Speaker 1: and all the other stuff. Everyone's like, oh, that home
- 4:44Speaker 1: run derby thing at the end was kind of cool.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I don't know if you do that, maybe watered down
- 4:47Speaker 1: if you do it too much. But I mean I'd
- 4:49Speaker 1: love to see Phillies Mets and you get Harper Schwarber
- 4:52Speaker 1: and whoever the third is, Trey Turner, whoever you want
- 4:55Speaker 1: to pick Bam, you know, JT against Alonzo lindor Sodo.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I mean, are you kidding me?
- 5:03Speaker 1: In the playoffs to go to the game seven of
- 5:05Speaker 1: the playoffs, maybe to go to the World Series, like yes,
- 5:08Speaker 1: this'd be awesome, epic, And then they miss, like they
- 5:11Speaker 1: doing penalty kicks and soccer.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Then they're like, oh, this guy can't handle the pressure.
- 5:16Speaker 4: Oh and if a fan catches it, it doesn't count.
- 5:20Speaker 4: It's an out. And then we could have like somebody
- 5:24Speaker 4: running around the outfield, just one person running around the outfield.
- 5:27Speaker 4: If they catch it on your own team, then you
- 5:30Speaker 4: get an extra swing. Oh man, we could just do
- 5:33Speaker 4: so many cool things. No, I would not consider it. No,
- 5:36Speaker 4: we're going to negotiations, all these negotiations. Not one side
- 5:41Speaker 4: is gonna be willing to be like, yeah, I'll give
- 5:43Speaker 4: up something for this. No. No, And if I was commissioner, no.
- 5:51Speaker 3: Okay, do I think it'll happen? No? Yeah, you're no
- 5:54Speaker 3: fun craft also a taking it too far? Are you
- 5:57Speaker 3: starting to list banana ball rule and try and belittle
- 6:02Speaker 3: our sport. We do the Manford man at second base
- 6:05Speaker 3: in next trainings and everyone's surviving. We do the pitch clock,
- 6:08Speaker 3: and everyone's surviving. We're gonna do the challenge system, which
- 6:10Speaker 3: we'll talk about in a second. And everyone else was right.
- 6:13Speaker 2: By the way, that was great.
- 6:14Speaker 1: It made my bet hit too, but it was great.
- 6:16Speaker 1: How fast was it? It was like quick where they four
- 6:19Speaker 1: out of five they got wrong or right or however
- 6:21Speaker 1: you want to change, But it was quick. Right, schooling
- 6:24Speaker 1: and rallyan in the first sitting, we're like and in
- 6:27Speaker 1: like ten seconds here comes the ball and the crowd's
- 6:29Speaker 1: like yeah, and Schoobl's laughing like yeah, I mean no,
- 6:32Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty good.
- 6:34Speaker 3: Three out of four were overturned. So ten twelve seconds
- 6:41Speaker 3: you challenge and you find out that the IMP's wrong.
- 6:45Speaker 3: Sign me up. Schooble said he wasn't gonna do it.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Huh uh huh, And they were right. The only one
- 6:54Speaker 3: that was wrong was it was in the eighth inning.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Was it tours?
- 6:59Speaker 1: Somebody was like, somebody did it and it was like
- 7:01Speaker 1: an inch one point three inches low. I forget who
- 7:04Speaker 1: did it.
- 7:04Speaker 2: It was. It was a hitter. It was kind of
- 7:06Speaker 2: early in the game and they did it and it
- 7:07Speaker 2: was like this, it was like way low it was.
- 7:10Speaker 1: It was lower than Brent Rooker lost the home run
- 7:12Speaker 1: derby by.
- 7:13Speaker 4: That's how much it was good analogy.
- 7:17Speaker 3: Stowers was the one in the eighth inning who got
- 7:19Speaker 3: it wrong. Stowers was also the one who participated in
- 7:22Speaker 3: the swing off who legitimately thought he was being punked
- 7:25Speaker 3: and that they were kind of rookie hazing him or
- 7:28Speaker 3: first year All Star hazing him and saying, oh, you're
- 7:31Speaker 3: gonna be in this home run derby, swing off, go
- 7:33Speaker 3: get ready. And he's like, stop, I'm not doing that.
- 7:36Speaker 3: I'm not falling for that, and they're like no, seriously.
- 7:38Speaker 3: And then he sees the two managers start to meet
- 7:41Speaker 3: up and he's like, oh crap, they're being serious.
- 7:43Speaker 1: But anyway, by the way, we're talking about this, the players,
- 7:46Speaker 1: a lot of the players didn't even know this was
- 7:48Speaker 1: a thing. They didn't even know about it. It was in
- 7:50Speaker 1: the CBA. That's kind of weird to me that nobody
- 7:52Speaker 1: knew about this. So, by the way, somebody, I think
- 7:54Speaker 1: Kratz wished for a ty game.
- 7:55Speaker 2: He got his wish. And by the way, also, it
- 7:57Speaker 2: was kind of weird because nobody won.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Their bad on that because it was a tie, you know,
- 8:04Speaker 1: not sue certain company did not pay out.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Oh okay, that's a money line winner.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Not on a certain company. It was not they did
- 8:15Speaker 2: not pay out.
- 8:17Speaker 3: I'll do some digging on that one. Hey, have you
- 8:21Speaker 3: heard of Built No? Do you pay rent? Yes? Okay, good,
- 8:26Speaker 3: let's talk. There's no cost to join, and just by

- 9:21Speaker 3: sent you. Why did Jonathan Ronda get swings with his
- 9:25Speaker 3: eleven home runs on the season and not Bobby Witt,
- 9:28Speaker 3: who was like, ooh, pick me, I would love to
- 9:30Speaker 3: do this. He said, if he was asked, he would
- 9:32Speaker 3: have been in. Buxton was also still in the game,
- 9:34Speaker 3: and you could pick anyone. I get managers saying, hey,
- 9:37Speaker 3: I want someone that's in the game that's hot right now,
- 9:40Speaker 3: right they're still involved. They didn't go to the clubhouse
- 9:43Speaker 3: and cool down and shower and whatever else. Fine, But Kratz,
- 9:47Speaker 3: we had two much better power options than Jonathan Ronda,
- 9:50Speaker 3: who I love, great season for him. That is the
- 9:53Speaker 3: wrong guy. That's one of the worst guys to select
- 9:55Speaker 3: to be in a derby at that moment. It's not
- 9:58Speaker 3: like I know him and his BP, but I don't
- 10:00Speaker 3: think Aaron Boone knew him and his VP that well.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Either I would go with Bobby Wood Junior or Byron
- 10:07Speaker 3: Buxton in those spots. I'm very confused as to what
- 10:10Speaker 3: happened there. Buxton we didn't hear from specifically to that.
- 10:14Speaker 3: Witt literally said, if asked, I would have said, yes,
- 10:18Speaker 3: what the heck happened?
- 10:20Speaker 4: Ryan O'Hearn, I saw him back out on the field.
- 10:22Speaker 4: He was he was out in the field during the derby.
- 10:25Speaker 4: He would have been a good option. No idea. What happened,
- 10:29Speaker 4: no idea, And that's gonna have to be a boon thing,
- 10:31Speaker 4: like maybe Boone didn't know about it and he had
- 10:34Speaker 4: to make a last minute decision and Rondo was coming
- 10:38Speaker 4: in off the field and he's like, yeah, sure, go
- 10:42Speaker 4: for it. Or he was the one that had his
- 10:44Speaker 4: batting gloves. I don't know. I have no idea how
- 10:48Speaker 4: how you miss on Bobby Witt or Byron Buxton two
- 10:51Speaker 4: guys that were still in there.
- 10:55Speaker 1: Jass Chisholm could have been in it again. He could
- 10:57Speaker 1: have used his home run swing instead of his single
- 11:00Speaker 1: swing in the to win the game, his game swing, it.
- 11:05Speaker 2: Was game swing.
- 11:05Speaker 1: He could have used his home run swing instead of
- 11:07Speaker 1: his game swing. And then if he didn't do well,
- 11:09Speaker 1: he could have said other things which we're not going
- 11:11Speaker 1: to get into because it's giving him, you know.
- 11:15Speaker 3: A lot of weird attention. But Schwarber beat him with
- 11:18Speaker 3: his three swings? Right, what did what? Did Jazz have three?
- 11:21Speaker 3: So they tie? So they tied. Schwerberg got three swings
- 11:24Speaker 3: and got to his.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Mind, by the way, how good is he?
- 11:27Speaker 1: Can we we're all we're all talking about this and
- 11:30Speaker 1: we're you know, but how good is Kyle Schwarber? He's
- 11:33Speaker 1: homered in everything at this point World Series All Star Games,
- 11:37Speaker 1: WBC Finals. I mean he didn't even not hit a
- 11:40Speaker 1: home run in this swing off thing that. I mean,
- 11:42Speaker 1: how good is Kyle Schwarber is if you had one
- 11:45Speaker 1: swing on your life for God to hit a home run,
- 11:47Speaker 1: are you taking Kyle Schwarber over anybody else in Major
- 11:49Speaker 1: League Baseball?
- 11:51Speaker 4: I mean it's Pete, It's Pete and Schwarber right now.
- 11:53Speaker 4: I think obviously what cal Rally did was pretty awesome,
- 11:56Speaker 4: Like you can't discount that. If it's this year, maybe
- 11:58Speaker 4: it's cal Rally, But over the history of their careers,
- 12:03Speaker 4: Schwarber and Pete are upper echelon home run hitters. When
- 12:07Speaker 4: you talk about guys like claw Man, he hit one
- 12:09Speaker 4: just as far as Kyle Schwarber or Pete Alonzo. Those
- 12:12Speaker 4: dudes are built different.
- 12:17Speaker 3: I agree, And yeah, Alonso would have had a chance
- 12:20Speaker 3: if the Ale put up more of a fight, but
- 12:22Speaker 3: they didn't need him. Pete was getting ready. He's like, now,
- 12:25Speaker 3: I know what it's like for that dry hump for
- 12:27Speaker 3: closers where they get all ready to go and then
- 12:30Speaker 3: he can't get that out of hand and you know,
- 12:31Speaker 3: get used.
- 12:31Speaker 2: He's like, I was.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Getting all warmed up and ready by the Challenges.
- 12:36Speaker 1: By the way, I got a Pete, So I saw
- 12:38Speaker 1: Pete everywhere. Pete at one point looks at me and goes,
- 12:40Speaker 1: are you stalking me? Because everywhere I went home, run derby,
- 12:44Speaker 1: on the field, we ran into each other. We chatted
- 12:46Speaker 1: red carpet, we went to the Nike thing together. He
- 12:48Speaker 1: was there and it was like, Pete finally looks at
- 12:50Speaker 1: me and goes, do you have my schedule.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Or are you stalking me? And I'm like, Pete, I'm
- 12:53Speaker 2: older than you, so you're stop following me?
- 12:56Speaker 3: Mhm. Where you guys are just ff Foul Territory.
- 13:01Speaker 4: Bros magnetized to each other.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Love true love.
- 13:06Speaker 3: I love Scout Territory and Foul Territory loves some Pete.
- 13:10Speaker 3: He's got great answers to interviews too. Hey for the
- 13:13Speaker 3: Challenge System, Manford and Tony Clark did address it. Tony
- 13:19Speaker 3: Clark said some players are worried about the half inch
- 13:21Speaker 3: and that, like you mentioned, AJ, there's going to be
- 13:24Speaker 3: a call that's so close and should have a little
- 13:26Speaker 3: bit of a buffer zone to it. And he brought
- 13:29Speaker 3: that up the head of the union and said we
- 13:32Speaker 3: haven't even started talking about the strikes on itself. Has
- 13:34Speaker 3: that going to necessarily be measured, and Manfred said, I
- 13:40Speaker 3: don't believe that technology supports the notion that you need
- 13:43Speaker 3: a buffer zone to get into the idea that there's
- 13:45Speaker 3: something that is not a strike that you're going to
- 13:47Speaker 3: call a strike in a review system. I don't know
- 13:49Speaker 3: why I would want to do that.
- 13:54Speaker 2: I don't understand the buffer zone thing. I don't get it.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Like a buffer zone. What are we talking about? Half
- 13:58Speaker 2: inch buffer zone? I don't know.
- 14:01Speaker 3: I mean, well, we have that right now, right we
- 14:03Speaker 3: have the buffer zone that MLB didn't tell anyone about
- 14:06Speaker 3: before the season started because it's shrunk. But for technology,
- 14:09Speaker 3: you can't do that, you know. I think it's just
- 14:12Speaker 3: here's the strike zone. It's in or it's out. If
- 14:15Speaker 3: a team happens to go with a close call, that's
- 14:18Speaker 3: their call. They might get it right, they might get
- 14:19Speaker 3: it wrong. You're trying to get rid of the obvious stuff,
- 14:21Speaker 3: especially early on. If you want to take that risk
- 14:23Speaker 3: early on in a game, take that risk, you only
- 14:26Speaker 3: get two. It sounds like that's what they're going to
- 14:28Speaker 3: roll with for next year. So you're gonna have to
- 14:29Speaker 3: be careful if you're worried late in a game. It's
- 14:32Speaker 3: the ninth inning and you still have one and it
- 14:34Speaker 3: got close and you call it and you use it, Well,
- 14:36Speaker 3: you saved it. I don't know for me, Aja, I'm
- 14:39Speaker 3: on the league side with this one. The strike zone
- 14:41Speaker 3: is the strike zone. Don't don't start telling the right
- 14:45Speaker 3: ABS system put some let's put some buffers in here
- 14:51Speaker 3: just in case it gets too close. They're saying, because
- 14:54Speaker 3: the replay has that where it gets to tiki tak
- 14:58Speaker 3: with some of the calls. And I'm like, but but
- 14:59Speaker 3: that's what it is. You're either on the base or
- 15:01Speaker 3: you're not.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the thing I don't understand, Like, if the
- 15:04Speaker 1: technology is so good, why can we not just have
- 15:07Speaker 1: the strike zone and it's in the zone or it's
- 15:10Speaker 1: not in the zone. I mean, I'm telling you. You know,
- 15:12Speaker 1: you guys were at the game. I was watching the
- 15:14Speaker 1: game on TV. They when they did the ABS, people
- 15:17Speaker 1: were genuinely in the crowd were into it.
- 15:20Speaker 2: People were into it. And it's a good thing.
- 15:22Speaker 1: Now, I'm not for the full robotic, but twice a game,
- 15:25Speaker 1: it keeps the umpires locked into the game for all
- 15:27Speaker 1: nine innings, and it keeps the fans engaged with the
- 15:30Speaker 1: You know for nine innings, because hey, there could be
- 15:32Speaker 1: a guy that goes like this, and then the strategy
- 15:35Speaker 1: of it all is going to be fascinating because I
- 15:37Speaker 1: talked to some people there at the All Star Game
- 15:39Speaker 1: about it and they were like, yeah, we got to
- 15:41Speaker 1: make some decisions if they put this in next year.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Who's allowed to challenge, who's not allowed to challenge? What
- 15:46Speaker 1: are we going to do if this happens. If this happens, so,
- 15:49Speaker 1: I think it's going to be fascinating. It just adds
- 15:52Speaker 1: more strategy and more stuff to talk about.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Yeah, it was an awesome, awesome All Star Game and
- 15:57Speaker 3: All Star Week and just shout outs at the end.
- 16:00Speaker 3: You don't have time to discuss all of these topics.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Clayton Kershawn miked up was awesome. The Hank Iron tribute
- 16:05Speaker 3: was incredible, technologically amazing, dude.
- 16:08Speaker 2: You know what sat it was disappointing me.
- 16:10Speaker 1: It was when Schooble and Rally were miked up in
- 16:12Speaker 1: the first inning because I think Cal was afraid to
- 16:15Speaker 1: talk because he think he thought the hitters.
- 16:17Speaker 2: Could hear him.
- 16:17Speaker 1: So if you noticed, Scooble would kind of say something
- 16:19Speaker 1: and Rally's like yeah, yeah, yeah. But he would never
- 16:22Speaker 1: really give us an answer. And Cal's talkative. I mean,
- 16:26Speaker 1: he's great to talk to, but I think he was
- 16:28Speaker 1: afraid the hitters would hear him, so he was really
- 16:30Speaker 1: kind of quiet. And I think that's a cool concept.
- 16:32Speaker 1: You know, Cal would have been like, Hey, schoobl let's
- 16:34Speaker 1: throw this pitch. Is so this pitch And the best
- 16:36Speaker 1: part was when Schooble gave up those couple of hits.
- 16:38Speaker 2: He almost dropped some bad words on the mic, which
- 16:41Speaker 2: was hilarious.
- 16:41Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, they've got to be ready to
- 16:44Speaker 3: dub it.
- 16:45Speaker 2: It was the first when he gave up the show.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Hey, through that slider that was way off the plate
- 16:49Speaker 1: and he's like, it was great.
- 16:51Speaker 2: And then he gave up to hit the Martine.
- 16:53Speaker 3: He's like, hey, we've all been there. We do that
- 16:56Speaker 3: on our show sometimes. Also mispitched and was very entertaining. Lastly,
- 17:01Speaker 3: the Padres and Giants pitchers gave up all six of
- 17:03Speaker 3: the runs for the National League side, and Doc Roberts
- 17:06Speaker 3: made sure he used those pictures out let me get
- 17:09Speaker 3: one more appearance out of him there in the All
- 17:11Speaker 3: Star break.
- 17:13Speaker 1: And by the way, Brent Rooker had a huge home
- 17:15Speaker 1: run for d Al to get him back in that game.
- 17:18Speaker 2: Six nothing.
- 17:18Speaker 1: He hits that home run, he gets them right back
- 17:20Speaker 1: in the game. So one of our guys rooke huge
- 17:22Speaker 1: home run.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Incredible, incredible comeback there six nothing to six six two
- 17:27Speaker 3: the swing off. Okay, ft fam. It's another week and

- 18:20Speaker 3: It is the top marketplace in the biz to get
- 18:22Speaker 3: that done and crats. We love the slab pack situation
- 18:25Speaker 3: because rolling through a ton of cards, physically opening them
- 18:30Speaker 3: finding all kinds of commons that end up folded or
- 18:32Speaker 3: in the garbage is old news. Why not get a
- 18:36Speaker 3: slab pack and get a chance at a card whereth
- 18:38Speaker 3: thousands of dollars.
- 18:40Speaker 2: I was a common card.
- 18:41Speaker 4: It's okay if you don't get me in your slab pack,
- 18:43Speaker 4: because you put as little as twenty five dollars into
- 18:48Speaker 4: a slab pack and you could pull out something that's
- 18:51Speaker 4: worth thousands of dollars, and it's a keepsake that you
- 18:54Speaker 4: get to like, wait, you know what, it might be
- 18:56Speaker 4: worth this much today, but I get to watch the
- 18:59Speaker 4: value row.

- 19:09Speaker 3: That's twenty percent off your first card purchase or slab
- 19:12Speaker 3: pack at arenaclub dot com slash foul code foul.
- 19:15Speaker 5: I don't think people should get ejected after charging mount
- 19:19Speaker 5: or fighting, so I think it should be.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Hockey style, so no teams know nothing, because that's.
- 19:24Speaker 5: When people can like seriously get hurt. If you want
- 19:26Speaker 5: to go out and charge mount, then you should be
- 19:30Speaker 5: able to. But if the pitcher or hitter or whoever charges,
- 19:34Speaker 5: and if they don't want to fight, they take an
- 19:36Speaker 5: e and then they don't have to fight. But if
- 19:38Speaker 5: someone charges the mount, it's one to one hockey style
- 19:41Speaker 5: and then that's it, and.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Then the loser has to has to be the winner.
- 19:45Speaker 2: The fight stays in the game.
- 19:46Speaker 5: Or if someone goes out taking me, then it's like whatever,
- 19:49Speaker 5: and then he goes to your ship for wins.
- 19:51Speaker 2: That's what I should change.
- 19:51Speaker 3: About the game. That is epic. Petal Linza and baseball
- 19:56Speaker 3: is that at media day?
- 19:57Speaker 2: Good yet forever?
- 19:58Speaker 1: Ago I said on this show, I said, everyone crowds
- 20:01Speaker 1: around and they go one on one like hockey, and
- 20:04Speaker 1: we see who wins. Now, I didn't go throw them
- 20:06Speaker 1: to take a knee side of it, but they both
- 20:07Speaker 1: look at each other.
- 20:08Speaker 2: They both tip their cap ding ding ding. The bell rings.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Here we go, boys and girls.
- 20:13Speaker 1: You don't think people would watch that, and then after
- 20:15Speaker 1: they're done, they do a swing off to see what
- 20:17Speaker 1: team is the best.
- 20:18Speaker 3: There would be fun. Hey, I'm all for it. It
- 20:21Speaker 3: would be fun. It will never happen. First off, Kratz
- 20:25Speaker 3: knows this. Ninety nine point nine percent of baseball players
- 20:28Speaker 3: don't want to fight. They love the in your face.
- 20:31Speaker 3: Hold me back, bro hold me back. It is not
- 20:33Speaker 3: a fighting sport anymore.
- 20:36Speaker 4: Some guys just punch themselves in the face. That's all
- 20:39Speaker 4: the punching that they do in their career. Other guys
- 20:42Speaker 4: run out and they're.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Like, yeah, hold me back, hold me back. There's no way.
- 20:47Speaker 2: You know what I would do.
- 20:49Speaker 4: I would put the biggest guy you have in your
- 20:51Speaker 4: entire organization, Trek Scouble's first pitch of the game, he
- 20:55Speaker 4: charges them mount and takes scooble.
- 20:57Speaker 2: That's how you get him out of the game.
- 20:58Speaker 3: True, good trype, We love you. Baseball still has the
- 21:06Speaker 3: best All Star game. Kyle Corwin Takes tweeted this MLB
- 21:10Speaker 3: seven point two million viewers, NBA for theirs four point seven,
- 21:14Speaker 3: NFL same thing, four point seven. I think if you
- 21:17Speaker 3: just showed a quarterback throwing a football against a wall,
- 21:19Speaker 3: you'd probably get four point seven for NFL anyway, and NHL,
- 21:22Speaker 3: he wrote, dumps their All Star game. Now, in fairness,
- 21:25Speaker 3: they did do the what was it USA versus Nations
- 21:31Speaker 3: core Nations right, which is not awesome. It was awesome
- 21:34Speaker 3: and that's all good ratings.
- 21:36Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it did.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Because anytime you put USA, Canada, was it Finland and
- 21:40Speaker 1: I forget the four team Russia maybe whoever it was,
- 21:43Speaker 1: whatever the four nations they threw out there, you put.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Us a young USA. People are going to tune into
- 21:48Speaker 2: it with the best of the best. I'm sorry they are.
- 21:51Speaker 3: I like John Smoltz's idea at least to try at
- 21:54Speaker 3: one point.
- 21:55Speaker 2: It'll kill those it kills the WBC.
- 22:00Speaker 3: I don't think it does. WBC is a bunch of
- 22:02Speaker 3: different countries. You're gonna do one game in the All
- 22:05Speaker 3: Star Game, you know, people, I'm telling you people.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Then let's go. You know, we don't have my competition.
- 22:10Speaker 1: We don't have enough time because there was eighty one
- 22:12Speaker 1: All Stars this year, which by the way, is over
- 22:14Speaker 1: ten percent of the league. But they if we went through,
- 22:18Speaker 1: how heavy and how balanced would it be?
- 22:21Speaker 2: Right?
- 22:21Speaker 3: Like?
- 22:21Speaker 2: How one sided was it?
- 22:23Speaker 1: If we looked at I don't know because I haven't
- 22:25Speaker 1: done it, but how one sided is it or the
- 22:27Speaker 1: other side?
- 22:28Speaker 4: They wouldn't even be half those guys wouldn't even be
- 22:30Speaker 4: in half. Those guys wouldn't. It would just go all superstars.
- 22:33Speaker 4: Everyone would pick the best player, no matter of the
- 22:35Speaker 4: year they're having. And that's where it would change.
- 22:40Speaker 3: In the weeds. Let's jump into Ken Rosenthal's notes column
- 22:43Speaker 3: from this morning. This is probably your favorite topic because
- 22:46Speaker 3: we get to jump into Ken's notes aj without Ken,
- 22:49Speaker 3: so you get to play Ken and give me your
- 22:50Speaker 3: thoughts on what he threw out there. Let's start with
- 22:53Speaker 3: the Dodgers, he said, after investing a combined one hundred
- 22:56Speaker 3: and seven million dollars in free agent relievers this past offseason,
- 22:59Speaker 3: Tanner's China and Kirby Yates, they are expected to pursue
- 23:04Speaker 3: bullpen help, according to sources. Brief on the team's plans,
- 23:08Speaker 3: he pointed to Tanner Scott having a worse year, giving
- 23:11Speaker 3: up a lot more homers in the first half. That
- 23:14Speaker 3: could change, but Evan Phillips, Tommy John surgery, Blake trying
- 23:17Speaker 3: and expected to join the team soon. Kopek is out
- 23:20Speaker 3: again but hopefully back in the next few weeks through
- 23:23Speaker 3: star Graderol working his way back from shoulder surgery. Thoughts
- 23:26Speaker 3: on the Dodgers going for more bullpen.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Help, What did Jim Boden just say Every team wants
- 23:32Speaker 1: bullpen help. You can never have enough bullpen help. Tanner
- 23:35Speaker 1: Scott's got to figure it out. He's probably been out
- 23:37Speaker 1: of this group the most disappointing, I would say, after
- 23:39Speaker 1: the year he came off last year. Kirby Yates has
- 23:43Speaker 1: been okay, hasn't been great. Trina has been hurt. Evan
- 23:45Speaker 1: Phillips out for the year, Kopek has missed most of
- 23:48Speaker 1: the year, Gradall has missed all the year. So they
- 23:50Speaker 1: have a lot of guys and they're surviving. They're still
- 23:52Speaker 1: doing fine.
- 23:53Speaker 2: It's the Dodgers.
- 23:54Speaker 1: What do you expect that it's World Series or bust
- 23:57Speaker 1: for the Dodgers. So of course they're going all in
- 23:59Speaker 1: on whatever they think is needed. I mean, they have Yamamoto,
- 24:02Speaker 1: Kershaw's pitching pretty well, Glassdow came back. When did we
- 24:06Speaker 1: see Sazaki? When do we see Snell? Look, the Dodgers
- 24:09Speaker 1: are going for it. We know they're goal for it.
- 24:10Speaker 1: They're not going to stop halfway. Brandon Gomes and that
- 24:14Speaker 1: whole Dodgers' organization is all in.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Do you think they'll go big, big crats? So another
- 24:20Speaker 3: part of his notes column brought up the Twins and
- 24:23Speaker 3: the Guardians, who I think we're going to talk about
- 24:25Speaker 3: a lot, but let's focus on their relief pitching. He
- 24:28Speaker 3: brought up Griffin Jackson, Jan Duran as well as Emmanuel
- 24:32Speaker 3: Coasse and Cade Smith. He said it's not going to
- 24:34Speaker 3: be easy to pluck those players. Also, Cleveland at the
- 24:37Speaker 3: ten game losing streak and then they won I think
- 24:39Speaker 3: six to seven heading into the break. Twins played pretty
- 24:41Speaker 3: good heading to the break. Both of them have kind
- 24:43Speaker 3: of soft schedules over the next couple of weeks, so
- 24:46Speaker 3: it could be fool's gold. What do you think happens
- 24:48Speaker 3: there and what would you do? And one more caveat
- 24:51Speaker 3: can mentioned how the other element is that the Guardians
- 24:55Speaker 3: are extremely disciplined in trade talks, often frustrating potential partners.
- 24:59Speaker 3: That's been a reputation of Theirs for a while. Plus,
- 25:01Speaker 3: Derek Falve began his front off his career with Cleveland
- 25:04Speaker 3: and the Twins barely ever do anything because they're tough
- 25:06Speaker 3: to deal with. Two.
- 25:08Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't see how the Twins get anything done
- 25:10Speaker 4: without it being a mega a mega return. And there's
- 25:15Speaker 4: pretty much two teams that you know based on one
- 25:19Speaker 4: their cash, two the way their gms work, and how badly.
- 25:23Speaker 4: They want to win Phillies Dodgers, whether you know Phillies,
- 25:27Speaker 4: it's more about like, hey, Dave Dombrowski's just he's like,
- 25:31Speaker 4: I'll give it to you.
- 25:32Speaker 2: What do you what do you want?
- 25:33Speaker 4: You have that guy? I want him, Let's go after it.
- 25:36Speaker 4: So if you're talking about a Johann Durand being a
- 25:39Speaker 4: mega piece, I don't see the Dodgers going after him.
- 25:42Speaker 4: I think they would probably like a Griffin. Jack's better
- 25:45Speaker 4: just because the strikeouts are there, and Duran while being
- 25:48Speaker 4: a closer, there's there's those pieces. But to me, if
- 25:53Speaker 4: somebody gets Class A because I heard the rumors with
- 25:55Speaker 4: the Phillies, to me, it's the Dodgers. And the Dodgers
- 25:58Speaker 4: are not afraid to make a big splash. The Dodgers
- 26:01Speaker 4: are not afraid to give Dalton Rushing to the to
- 26:05Speaker 4: the Guardians if that's what they're looking for. The Guardians
- 26:09Speaker 4: never really completely rebuild, and the Dodgers have Triple A
- 26:14Speaker 4: big league players who are young, have less than a
- 26:18Speaker 4: year of service, and they can be plugged right into
- 26:21Speaker 4: the Guardians lineup. And who of the Dodgers trades of
- 26:24Speaker 4: prospects are you like? Man probably would like to have
- 26:27Speaker 4: that guy back. No, they have a World Series from
- 26:29Speaker 4: last year, they won another one again this year.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Do you think the Phillies could make a move for
- 26:35Speaker 3: class A or Doran. I mean, both of them have
- 26:37Speaker 3: multiple years of control left. I imagine Justin Crawford gets
- 26:41Speaker 3: it done, but the Phillies don't want to do that
- 26:43Speaker 3: because he's probably gonna be their outfielder, if not late
- 26:45Speaker 3: this year, then starting next year for they hope ten
- 26:48Speaker 3: years make able. We brought up quite a bit. I
- 26:50Speaker 3: think one of those blue chip prospects does get a
- 26:54Speaker 3: guy like I don't.
- 26:55Speaker 4: I don't think that's enough because of class A's contract.
- 26:58Speaker 4: I think I think you're gonna need a Mick Abel
- 27:01Speaker 4: and an Aiden Miller or and a Justin Crawford. And
- 27:05Speaker 4: I don't say Andrew Painter because all I've heard is
- 27:08Speaker 4: he is completely off limits. But Classe makes me feel
- 27:13Speaker 4: like I'm going after a lot of guys. I'm I'm letting,
- 27:17Speaker 4: I'm I'm letting you have somebody if I can have
- 27:19Speaker 4: class I don't care what he did last year in
- 27:20Speaker 4: the playoffs or not. That is a shutdown closer who
- 27:24Speaker 4: is locked in, which Dombrowski does like to do. He
- 27:27Speaker 4: likes the guys who are still locked in.
- 27:28Speaker 2: A little bit kratz.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I am actually in the market for a new car. Yes, Wow,
- 27:37Speaker 3: that's a car up north so I can drive very
- 27:40Speaker 3: far to todd father studio and to my house and

- 28:33Speaker 3: years left of control, and I bet Michael Lias would
- 28:35Speaker 3: do a move like that because the future is better
- 28:38Speaker 3: than the present in Baltimore.
- 28:40Speaker 2: You always said, I don't think he's traightened Bautista. I
- 28:43Speaker 2: just don't think I think.
- 28:44Speaker 1: He's gonna hold on to him for one more year
- 28:46Speaker 1: and making trying to make a run next year, because
- 28:48Speaker 1: you have to go into next year with the closer,
- 28:50Speaker 1: and Bautista looks really good this year.
- 28:51Speaker 2: So I don't think the world's will move.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Two more quick ones, Yeah, go ahead.
- 28:56Speaker 4: No, I was just gonna say, the only person I
- 28:57Speaker 4: think would get Bautista out of Baltimore would be Painter,
- 29:01Speaker 4: and that's another starting pitcher, which I think Michael Lias
- 29:05Speaker 4: is like, you know what, we don't really need starting pitching.
- 29:07Speaker 4: All of our starting pitchers that are heard are just
- 29:09Speaker 4: going to come back and we're going to be perfect
- 29:11Speaker 4: next year.
- 29:12Speaker 3: I disagree. I think Elias would do able for Bautista's
- 29:15Speaker 3: straight up. I do. I think that both sides would
- 29:18Speaker 3: agree to that one. But we'll see. We'll see two
- 29:21Speaker 3: more here. This one's quick. Larise Robert, according to Ken,
- 29:25Speaker 3: is definitely getting shopped hard and probably getting traded because
- 29:28Speaker 3: he has a twenty million dollar club option next year
- 29:30Speaker 3: and there is no way that's getting picked up right now.
- 29:33Speaker 3: I mean, he's stealing a bunch of bases and they
- 29:35Speaker 3: solid d but that's terrible. A team will take a
- 29:38Speaker 3: flyer on him. If the White most of the money, Yes, yes,
- 29:41Speaker 3: I think he's definitely getting great.
- 29:43Speaker 2: I think the White Sox money.
- 29:44Speaker 1: You think the White Socks are gonna eat a lot
- 29:46Speaker 1: of that money though, I mean they have to get
- 29:49Speaker 1: they'd have. The White Sox are probably asking for the
- 29:51Speaker 1: moon for this guy, and he hasn't performed.
- 29:53Speaker 2: It's been like two and a half years since he's hit.
- 29:56Speaker 3: The price has dropped significantly. They're trying to at least
- 29:59Speaker 3: salvage something out of him, but they held on too long.
- 30:01Speaker 3: They blew it on that one last time.
- 30:04Speaker 4: Somebody on this show said to trade him. I forget
- 30:08Speaker 4: who it was.
- 30:09Speaker 3: It was you, like two years ago. Yeah, it was you,
- 30:13Speaker 3: all right, last one. The Rays with a three and
- 30:16Speaker 3: eleven slide heading into the break could be buyers or
- 30:19Speaker 3: could be sellers. According to Ken, If it's sellers, it
- 30:21Speaker 3: could be guys like Pete Fairbanks and Brandon Lao, who
- 30:25Speaker 3: have one year left of control after this season. Their
- 30:27Speaker 3: club options for both of these guys. Here's the interesting
- 30:30Speaker 3: part for me. Aj Wander Franco had the eleven year,
- 30:33Speaker 3: one eighty one mill in guaranteed money, and he's got
- 30:36Speaker 3: eight years left of that, probably all going to disappear,
- 30:40Speaker 3: and so the race don't have to pay it. Ken
- 30:43Speaker 3: brought up Kyle Tucker in the off season as a
- 30:46Speaker 3: potential target. He's from the area. New billionaire owner coming through,
- 30:53Speaker 3: and they went after Freddy Freeman a few years back,
- 30:55Speaker 3: or at least allegedly offered him six to seven years,
- 30:58Speaker 3: one forty one fifty mil. Percentage chance Kyle Tucker land
- 31:03Speaker 3: with the Rays is.
- 31:05Speaker 1: There's a better chance of this card that I have
- 31:07Speaker 1: of Ellie Da La Cruz is rated to ten than
- 31:09Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker signs with Tampa.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Hey, you can't give.
- 31:13Speaker 3: Me a zero. You're not even gonna give me like
- 31:15Speaker 3: a five percent.
- 31:17Speaker 2: Zero percent, zero percent. They don't have a stadium. Here's
- 31:22Speaker 2: the biggest thing. The new owner. Great, but how's that
- 31:24Speaker 2: new owner work down Baltimore?
- 31:27Speaker 3: Not well yet?
- 31:28Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. It takes him a little while to
- 31:30Speaker 1: get in there and figure it out. They don't just
- 31:32Speaker 1: go in there and throw their money around for no reason.
- 31:34Speaker 1: Plus the Rays don't have a stadium deal. They're still
- 31:36Speaker 1: stuck in the trap until they figure out the stadium.
- 31:39Speaker 1: They don't know what their revenues are gonna be or
- 31:41Speaker 1: where they're gonna be. So even if this deal gets
- 31:43Speaker 1: done in September, like they're talking about, it's gonna take
- 31:46Speaker 1: them a few months to get settle, figure out a stadium,
- 31:48Speaker 1: all that stuff. So, no, Kyle Tucker's not going to
- 31:51Speaker 1: the Rays. I'm sorry. They would have to so overpay.
- 31:54Speaker 1: They would have to give him the one Soto deal
- 31:56Speaker 1: for him to go to Tampa. Do you think that's
- 31:57Speaker 1: happened in scott What are the chances that happens.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna get seven to sixty five mil.
- 32:02Speaker 3: Here's the thing. Steve Cohen took over for the Mets,
- 32:04Speaker 3: and he spent money right away. Mark Salz took over
- 32:07Speaker 3: for the Dodgers, took over right Uh, spent money right away.
- 32:10Speaker 3: For me, Kyle Tucker right now, I'll give it a.
- 32:13Speaker 2: Far different You're in different ballparks of people.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Steve Cowen, no offense to Patrick Zuleobski, but Steve Cohen
- 32:21Speaker 1: and Patrick Alobski and his group are way different animals. Okay,
- 32:24Speaker 1: the Guggenheim that owns the Dodgers. It's not what's the
- 32:27Speaker 1: guy's name of your name, it's not them, it's the
- 32:29Speaker 1: Guggenheim thing, Mark Walter, they owned Gougenheim. Next time you
- 32:32Speaker 1: get five seconds your life, google how much Googenheim is worth.
- 32:36Speaker 2: And then get back to me.
- 32:37Speaker 1: That's that's not I mean, that's like Steve Cohen to
- 32:40Speaker 1: Scott Brown, and then Googenheim's like ten times bigger than
- 32:43Speaker 1: Steve Cohen.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Hold up, Hold up. I'll give you another example. It's
- 32:46Speaker 3: one that you just brought up, though it hasn't worked
- 32:49Speaker 3: out well. That is, on the GM, he's made crappy transactions.
- 32:53Speaker 3: The Orioles up to their payroll by about fifty million
- 32:55Speaker 3: dollars this past offseason. That is about how much per
- 32:58Speaker 3: season Kyle Tucker will probably end up. They're just gonna
- 33:00Speaker 3: bring spent their money stupidly.
- 33:03Speaker 2: They're just gonna They don't.
- 33:04Speaker 3: Do much in the offseason anyway. I mean, they just
- 33:06Speaker 3: signed what hasan Kim they didn't and then they traded
- 33:09Speaker 3: away Springs. They're not really active. If they're gonna surround
- 33:12Speaker 3: themselves around one player, I don't think it's a crazy thought.
- 33:16Speaker 4: I I'm checking to make sure we're not losing subscribers
- 33:21Speaker 4: based on that comment and AJ saying that the home
- 33:24Speaker 4: run derby should happen in regular season games, like.
- 33:27Speaker 2: Come on, no, it's not gonna happen.
- 33:30Speaker 4: They offered, They offered Freddie Freeman one hundred and fifty
- 33:34Speaker 4: million dollars. You're talking about Kyle Tucker. The get in
- 33:39Speaker 4: price is four fifty. They didn't, they didn't like take
- 33:42Speaker 4: They didn't take Juan Soto's contract off their books. You know,
- 33:46Speaker 4: Wander Franco's contract is not in the even three hundred
- 33:50Speaker 4: million dollar range. No zero, No, Kyle Tucker and other
- 33:55Speaker 4: teams that actually want to win, like for real, for real,
- 33:59Speaker 4: are never we're gonna let that happen. The Rays are like, hey,
- 34:01Speaker 4: we'll give you four hundred million. The Mats are like,
- 34:04Speaker 4: we need a right fielder. Phillies are like, costianis is gone,
- 34:08Speaker 4: we need a right fielder. Nope, we'll pay extra. Not
- 34:10Speaker 4: gonna happen.
- 34:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually think he's gonna end up with the Yankees.
- 34:14Speaker 3: But I just thought it was a fun exercise. I
- 34:16Speaker 3: don't think it's crazy. They might throw an offer out
- 34:18Speaker 3: there just might not be the winning bit. But thank you.
- 34:20Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna go check myself for two minutes
- 34:23Speaker 3: and make sure I'm still here, Gonna look in the
- 34:25Speaker 3: mirror and make sure I can feel feel myself breathing.
- 34:30Speaker 3: Two funny things involving Otani from the last few days.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Number One, he went over to Robert Suarez who threw
- 34:37Speaker 3: at him during the little Padres Dodgers hit back and forth,
- 34:42Speaker 3: and he was like, oh, my shoulder, just kidding. That
- 34:45Speaker 3: was fun, right, That's just so good. Did you guys
- 34:48Speaker 3: see that?
- 34:51Speaker 4: I liked it? Okay?
- 34:53Speaker 3: Cool?
- 34:53Speaker 1: And then I did that to Cologne when he hit
- 34:56Speaker 1: me when we're in the shower together in Dodger Stadium.
- 34:58Speaker 1: We did the same thing. I was like, hey, you
- 34:59Speaker 1: still got that a ball on my back? You hit
- 35:01Speaker 1: me with one hundred and two.
- 35:05Speaker 3: What about Charlie Freeman, Freddie Freeman's kid, who is a
- 35:09Speaker 3: massive baseball fan and gets to talk to show Hey
- 35:12Speaker 3: Otani every day, saying in a press conference that he's
- 35:15Speaker 3: most excited to see show He Otani at the All
- 35:18Speaker 3: Star Game. Then he goes right to Otani during some
- 35:21Speaker 3: autograph time and gets his auto and some people are like, yo,
- 35:25Speaker 3: you get to see him every day. And then some
- 35:27Speaker 3: collectors were like, brilliant, he gets the All Star cap signature.
- 35:34Speaker 2: He's not thinking about that. You know what he's doing.
- 35:38Speaker 1: He's trolling everybody else in the world. The fact that
- 35:40Speaker 1: he can walk right up to show it. And I
- 35:42Speaker 1: saw a show Hey a bunch of times in a
- 35:43Speaker 1: tunnel and in the locker room, and he intimidates me.
- 35:46Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't want to talk to you. I'm
- 35:49Speaker 2: scared to talk to you.
- 35:50Speaker 3: You don't say hey, show hey.
- 35:53Speaker 1: I don't know that he knows who I am, but
- 35:54Speaker 1: I've introduced myself to him. But every time he walks by,
- 35:57Speaker 1: he just kind of.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Like, Hey, I'm gonna be calling your playoff series.
- 36:02Speaker 2: No, we have al this year, so that's gonna be tough.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Oh then now next year, hopefully it'll be nice. Hey,
- 36:11Speaker 3: what do we think about the pitchers that are getting
- 36:13Speaker 3: bonuses even though they didn't make the All Star team.
- 36:16Speaker 3: Christopher Sanchez got one that was a little bit of
- 36:19Speaker 3: a more unique case because they pitched him on Sunday
- 36:21Speaker 3: and he was asked to pitch in the All Star Game,
- 36:24Speaker 3: So I'm sure there were some conversations behind the scenes
- 36:27Speaker 3: to get him his fifty K bonus. One hundred K
- 36:30Speaker 3: bonus aja for Nathan Evaldi, who many thought deserved to
- 36:33Speaker 3: be there, had a one to five to eight ERA
- 36:36Speaker 3: in the first half over ninety one innings, and they
- 36:40Speaker 3: decided to give him one hundred k.
- 36:43Speaker 2: Good for Nate Evaldi, Good for Nathan Evaldi.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, hey, if you Rangers, I almost made
- 36:49Speaker 1: the All Star team a couple of times, So can
- 36:51Speaker 1: you kick me a couple hundred grand too?
- 36:53Speaker 2: Because that would be awesome. I would love just a
- 36:55Speaker 2: couple hundred grand.
- 36:57Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 36:57Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if teams, if this makes players feel
- 36:59Speaker 1: better in the two gives them a better relationship, sweet,
- 37:03Speaker 1: I mean it just shows you a hundred grand of
- 37:05Speaker 1: these teams is really nothing?
- 37:07Speaker 2: Really is nothing?
- 37:10Speaker 3: Was he another case too? Prat's of a guy that
- 37:13Speaker 3: was pitching on Saturday or Sunday, I don't remember. I
- 37:16Speaker 3: gotta go back to what his last start was because
- 37:18Speaker 3: for me, that's where it makes sense, where it's like, hey,
- 37:20Speaker 3: you didn't get asked to be a replacement because you
- 37:22Speaker 3: were ineligible to pitch or you weren't going to be
- 37:25Speaker 3: able to pitch.
- 37:27Speaker 2: Well.
- 37:27Speaker 4: I think also some of those guys, because Sanchez Christopher Sanchez.
- 37:32Speaker 4: They were asked earlier and there was a chance they
- 37:34Speaker 4: could have moved his start around. So I think that
- 37:38Speaker 4: conversation I assume probably happened with with Nasty Nate.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Yeah, he pitched Sunday. He pitched Sunday, by the way,
- 37:46Speaker 3: So that makes sense because some people are like Casey
- 37:49Speaker 3: Mice has doubled the era and half the war and
- 37:52Speaker 3: whatever else is like, yeah, but Casey Mees was available
- 37:55Speaker 3: to pitch. Invaldi wasn't. So it seems like there's something
- 37:57Speaker 3: here where if teams are going to line up there,
- 37:59Speaker 3: dude for Saturday or Sunday and not having pitch in
- 38:02Speaker 3: the All Star Game, then the handshake agreement is you
- 38:06Speaker 3: give them their bonus because you're holding them back from
- 38:08Speaker 3: pitching in the All Star.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Game and being a three time All Star. I mean,
- 38:12Speaker 4: that's a thing like that. That is a thing.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Reminder to everyone that we have the MLB Jersey giveaway
- 38:18Speaker 3: trivia going on right now in chat BCC. While you're watching,
- 38:22Speaker 3: hop in there, see what happens Kratz. I finished what
- 38:25Speaker 3: third or fourth on the last one. I was pretty
- 38:27Speaker 3: proud of you. No second, wow, second, not bad. Forty
- 38:33Speaker 3: nine had played so far. But if you jump into
- 38:36Speaker 3: foul Territory dot chat and sign up if you're not
- 38:38Speaker 3: already in there, you can get involved in play. Also
- 38:41Speaker 3: you can ask questions like your trade questions. I'll bring
- 38:46Speaker 3: up one because there were a bunch that were sent
- 38:48Speaker 3: out to Ken. Jack Summers, who's actually our snake's territory
- 38:53Speaker 3: host said, who does Ken think is more likely to
- 38:55Speaker 3: receive a qualifying offer from the Diamondbacks? Zach Gellen, Zach Gallen,
- 39:00Speaker 3: a Henno Suarez, Josh Naylor. He brought up aj Probably
- 39:06Speaker 3: none of them because they'll all get traded.
- 39:08Speaker 1: I don't know the Gallon will get traded just because
- 39:10Speaker 1: his value so little, but if they keep him, they
- 39:12Speaker 1: might think about offering him a qualifying offer just to
- 39:14Speaker 1: get a draft pick back. But I think Naylor and
- 39:17Speaker 1: Aohennio Suarez Gino. By the way, if you have you ever,
- 39:20Speaker 1: guys ever talked to Gino Suarez.
- 39:22Speaker 2: He is hilarious. He is awesome.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:24Speaker 1: I was sitting in the food room talking to Chris
- 39:27Speaker 1: Sale and the NL also and he walked in and
- 39:30Speaker 1: he started talking to Sale.
- 39:31Speaker 2: It was hilarious. So that dude's awesome.
- 39:34Speaker 3: We got to get him on the show. He doesn't
- 39:36Speaker 3: do many interviews, but we should get him on.
- 39:38Speaker 1: Okay, you should call reach out to the Diamondbacks to
- 39:42Speaker 1: snakes and see because he was. The conversation they had
- 39:45Speaker 1: back and forth was hilarious. So he was great. Every
- 39:48Speaker 1: time I've seen him smiling, just great. He's just fun
- 39:51Speaker 1: to be around. He's a fun guy to be around.
- 39:54Speaker 3: I'm in for that. Oh, we are working on getting
- 39:56Speaker 3: Gino good. I'm glad to hear that. And last one,
- 40:00Speaker 3: Ad asked in the chap ecc Yankees are Cubs for Gino?
- 40:03Speaker 3: While we're on that topic, I think more likely Yankees
- 40:06Speaker 3: than Cubs.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I think Shaw has played better. Shaw has played better
- 40:11Speaker 1: since he's been back up. He's still not hitting the
- 40:13Speaker 1: way they thought, but his defense has been really good.
- 40:15Speaker 1: So I think they're satisfied with that because the other
- 40:18Speaker 1: guys are doing so well.
- 40:19Speaker 2: So I think Yankees would be the scene. The logical choice.
- 40:23Speaker 4: I think it's a Locke. I feel like, if you
- 40:25Speaker 4: if you made me pick my first pick in the
- 40:28Speaker 4: trade draft, I have to I have to go. Heneo
- 40:33Speaker 4: Swebiz to the Yankees.
- 40:36Speaker 3: They love Homer, dudes. That is a Homer happy lineup.
- 40:40Speaker 3: They love it. They love it so much.
- 40:53Speaker 2: There would don't. You don't necessarily need to give Kay
- 40:56Speaker 2: anything great to.
- 40:57Speaker 4: Hit wuen it snucks this one.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Risori on the run has it oh from third seconde oh?
- 41:05Speaker 1: And Daniel Laisari with the un convention I'll double play
- 41:09Speaker 1: puts that end on this one.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Wow, we've seen some bad base running the last couple
- 41:15Speaker 2: of innings. Run around third right there, didn't tag up.
- 41:18Speaker 2: The run around second, didn't tag up. Everyone just assumed
- 41:20Speaker 2: to be a hit.
- 41:22Speaker 3: Aj Prizinski on the mic. You might know him on
- 41:25Speaker 3: FT or Fox, but now he's also calling the Florida
- 41:29Speaker 3: what is it called.
- 41:29Speaker 1: The Florida the Orlando Snappers, the Orlando Snappers. No, there's
- 41:34Speaker 1: a there's a kid there and they messed the bond Villez.
- 41:36Speaker 1: That's trying to be a play by play guy. I
- 41:38Speaker 1: think he told me he's gonna be on SEC network
- 41:40Speaker 1: this year and he's a young kid.
- 41:42Speaker 2: He asked me if I would do the game with him.
- 41:43Speaker 2: So I did it yesterday. It was seven innings, it
- 41:45Speaker 2: was a rain shortened game. It was awesome. It was fun.
- 41:48Speaker 1: His first game I've ever done that wasn't an MLB game,
- 41:50Speaker 1: but it's a little bit hard when your son's playing
- 41:52Speaker 1: in the game, right, so you try not to be biased.
- 41:54Speaker 1: But when I said I saw bad base running the
- 41:57Speaker 1: inning before, the kid who hit the line drive to
- 41:59Speaker 1: right that turned into the double play also got doubled
- 42:02Speaker 1: up from second by leaving too early. When the tying
- 42:04Speaker 1: run would have scored from third. He left second too early,
- 42:07Speaker 1: so that run didn't count. And then the next thing,
- 42:09Speaker 1: he hits the line drive and I don't know what
- 42:12Speaker 1: the base runers, they thought it was a hit. The
- 42:13Speaker 1: run around third took off, the run around second took off,
- 42:16Speaker 1: and they threw behind and that's how the game ended.
- 42:18Speaker 2: It was one of those things where you're just like, wow, Wow,
- 42:20Speaker 2: what did I just witness? But it was fun.
- 42:22Speaker 1: It was fun to sit up there in a high
- 42:24Speaker 1: school stadium call a game.
- 42:25Speaker 2: They do a great job. There's like three or four
- 42:27Speaker 2: of them to do this production thing. It was cool.
- 42:29Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how. One of the spots that I got
- 42:32Speaker 3: started was in the summer league up in Cape Cod.
- 42:34Speaker 3: Cape Cod Baseball League. I called a couple seasons up
- 42:37Speaker 3: there when Austin was at the plate, Aja, how did
- 42:40Speaker 3: you play it? Did you say anything? You just shut
- 42:44Speaker 3: it and watched okay.
- 42:45Speaker 4: Like Hawk whenever whenever Alex Rios was at the plate,
- 42:51Speaker 4: just wouldn't say a word. You'd never hear.
- 42:53Speaker 3: Anything because he was reading so hard.
- 42:57Speaker 4: Hawk.
- 42:57Speaker 2: Hawk wasn't a big Rios fan.
- 42:59Speaker 3: Oh he wasn't. So he wasn't saying anything. Is that
- 43:02Speaker 3: what it was?
- 43:02Speaker 2: It?
- 43:04Speaker 3: No?
- 43:04Speaker 1: No, No, I just didn't There was nothing I could
- 43:05Speaker 1: say that would sound right.
- 43:06Speaker 2: So I just slid Bestimon deal with my son.
- 43:09Speaker 3: No, I know that I'm saying. Was Hawk?
- 43:11Speaker 2: No, Hawk didn't mind real That's not true at all. Hawk.
- 43:13Speaker 1: The only time Hawk would just get mad whenever the
- 43:15Speaker 1: White Sox would lose. He was never if the White
- 43:18Speaker 1: Sox lost, Hawk was pissed, especially if they had a
- 43:20Speaker 1: bad loss.
- 43:21Speaker 2: And he did that.
- 43:23Speaker 3: So the TV just left us. We have a couple
- 43:25Speaker 3: of minutes and then Dodger's Territories coming up. So for
- 43:28Speaker 3: the two minutes we have left, I wanted to bring
- 43:30Speaker 3: up something that popped up last week and AJ wasn't
- 43:33Speaker 3: on the show for and get his thoughts and Krats
- 43:36Speaker 3: might have a little extra info to add to the table.
- 43:38Speaker 3: Aj Friday show started off with the Mariners Yankees clash.
- 43:46Speaker 3: Brian Wu had that no hitter carrying for a while
- 43:48Speaker 3: and then they were gesturing for pitch tipping. But since
- 43:53Speaker 3: then some people say that it was all a ruse.
- 43:57Speaker 3: What was your take on all of that.
- 44:00Speaker 1: And why are they doing it? Because they're not jumping
- 44:02Speaker 1: around to not distract the hitter. I mean, listen, I've
- 44:05Speaker 1: seen guys getting almost fistfights because there's they're moving around
- 44:09Speaker 1: at second base too much as the runner. So there's
- 44:11Speaker 1: not dudes going like this to not get your attention.
- 44:14Speaker 1: Because if I'm the hitter and there's a guy out
- 44:16Speaker 1: there going like this, I'm like, oh, he's got something,
- 44:17Speaker 1: He's got some I'm not I'm gonna I used to
- 44:19Speaker 1: tell the guys like, unless you're stealing, just stand there.
- 44:24Speaker 4: He didn't I say that, didn't I say that distracts
- 44:26Speaker 4: a left handed hitter. The reason that, but obviously I
- 44:34Speaker 4: can't like my theory is they didn't have anything.
- 44:39Speaker 1: How are they getting all these I mean unless they're
- 44:40Speaker 1: getting them in his glove, But how are they getting them?
- 44:43Speaker 1: They like get them kind of early, or they're some
- 44:45Speaker 1: of them. Some of this I saw was too late anyway,
- 44:47Speaker 1: so it was like, it's too late for me to
- 44:49Speaker 1: But if this guy's If there's a guy going like
- 44:51Speaker 1: this and the right handed pitcher is throwing it out
- 44:53Speaker 1: of the guy going like this, I'm like time out,
- 44:55Speaker 1: I'm using my time out.
- 44:57Speaker 2: Stop stop, I can't see stop.
- 45:02Speaker 3: There are rumors that it was all roost to get
- 45:06Speaker 3: in Seattle's head.
- 45:08Speaker 2: It worked out.
- 45:09Speaker 4: Guy worked, Yeah, he had won five.
- 45:13Speaker 3: E R Right if not a j why are you
- 45:16Speaker 3: giving that away? Keep that thing for life and take
- 45:19Speaker 3: him back in the play.
- 45:21Speaker 2: Who was the guy we saw earlier in the year
- 45:23Speaker 2: that was doing it? Given it? It was when is the
