  Speaker 1: Hey, AJ, what's the hardest thing to do in sports?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hit a baseball?
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: That's right. So this is where the respect factor comes in.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: What you had a different answer?
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Cred save a hockey puck, SA, save a slap shot
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: as a goalie.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: No incorrect cornerback in the NFL.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: No, No, hit a baseball from a major leaguer. So
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the reason I bring this up is the respect factor
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: for what you guys did. But then for someone like
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Trey Mantini at thirty four years old to not be
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in the bigs for three years, it seemed like he
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: was going to be done. He was talked back into it,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and after over a thousand days away from major league baseball,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: last ab July thirty first, twenty twenty three, he's back
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: on a field for the Angels. First a B in
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: the second RBI knocked through the side. Good dude, cool moment. Krats.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: We've gone through your story and many other stories that
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: you've come across through your you know, minor league and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: major league days. Do you get a little bit of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the goosebumps or the heartstrings tugging at you when you
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: see this stuff.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: There's there's an extra for Trey man seeing with all
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the health stuff that he went through, the fact that
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: you know, we had him on in spring training and
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: he was talking about how it was. I don't know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: maybe I won't. Then convinced me, okay, I'll try it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: He just seems like he's in a great place, and
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: you have to be in a great place to go
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: down to the bushes to rehash your career and to
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: get back and go three for four.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: That's pretty good, really good.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It's cool.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It's a great story.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: It is. So he's back. We'll watch him. I would
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: say the fireworks though from last night that stole the show.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We're in Vegas, let's charge about the heck was that? Okay?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: This I want to do this though extras Brewers take
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: down the A's first game in Nevada in the major leagues,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: not an exhibition, major league regular season game in thirty years.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Eleven homers, thirty four hits, just madness. Okay, we saw
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Homer first pitch for the A's against Kyle Harrison. We're
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: going to talk about Kyle Harrison cy young bid and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: how we're going to have to keep alluding to this
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: little Vegas game that he participated in. But I want
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to start big, big picture here. AJ. Do you think
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a game like this is good for the game or
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: bad for the game? Entertaining or not. There was good
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: debate online. Some people were like, it's fine, it's June,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: let's do this. It's a more gimmicky game. But it
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was cool and the conditions were wilds your thoughts.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: I have no problem with it, honestly, I don't think
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: it's Uh Listen, the A's are trying to drum up
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: any support, any fandom they can in Las Vegas, so
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: to do this game was fine. I think they have
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: six games they play, the Brewers and the Rockies, I believe,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: so they're trying to draw up, drum up interest. They're
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: trying to drum up fans.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I thought it was cool.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: If you're if you're certain guys, Brent Rooker is one
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: of them that didn't get any hits, you probably didn't
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: think it was that great. But I think people that
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: are saying, oh, this is what it's going to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: like when they.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Build their new ballpark.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: Now, well, the new ballpark is going to be inside,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: it's going to be climate controlled, it's going to be
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: a little different. But hey, I remember playing in Vegas
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: and triple A. The wind was either blown straight out
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: or straight in. If it was blown out, you hit
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: a pop up, it was a homer. It was blown
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: straight in, nobody could hit one out.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So maybe the wind was blowing out.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but yeah, the ball flies in Las
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Vegas if you haven't been there, especially in the summertime.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But I think indoors is gonna be a little different.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And all the people, you know.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: The A's are saying the ballpark this is and that
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: they's been playing in a minor league ballpark for over
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: a year now, so the A's fans should be used
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: to it at this point.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, they used to have that for a few years.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: They did that home run derby out at the Vegas
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Stadium that you played at age. This is a new
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: stadium and they the ball, the ball was jumping. I
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: think the other part too, is the human door. You know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: they'll have it. They'll have it acclimated to make it
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: more similar to other parks. They'll have it acclimated to
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: that too, So I don't think that's the case. Like, look,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I guess if you're going to have a new place,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: this is major League Baseball needing to make sure that
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: fans in Las Vegas actually care about baseball.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Now, is this game going.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: To be like WHOA, I'm going out and buying tons
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: of Las Vegas whatever we're gonna be because they most
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: likely won't be the A's So I don't think so.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But I think it drums it up. It brings Okay,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: we got big leaders coming to Vegas. Guys, can our
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: fans can see what it looks like.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: But I did not. I think if it would have
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: been more.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Like a eleven ten game, maybe it could have like
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: drummed up some excitement. But but if you're if you're like, oh,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: we're gonna see a four hour game with sixteen challenges
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and eleven homers, I don't know if I'm there for that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: But man, those balls were crunched.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's cool if it's a novelty, right, If you don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: get this often, it's cool. If it's all the time,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: then it starts to be come Le's interesting. But because
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we get this in one night where there weren't a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: lot of games, there's an NBA Finals game going up
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: against it, and stood out. People start looking on social media,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Hey you got to turn on this this Brewers a's game.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So a lot of people were having fun with it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Some people were annoyed, you know, because if you're a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: purest aj the stats do pop off the page. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: what about Kyle Harrison. Do you think he's a little pissed.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you gotta pitcher. We're gonna pitch.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, Sacramento's not that much better, so you pitch
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: where you pitch. The other guy had to pitch there too.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: I mean, just bad luck, I guess, but I mean
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: you got to pitch in Colorado. Sometimes you gotta pitch
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: in Sacramento.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: You gotta pick. There's different places where the ball flies.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, Milwaukee used to be.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: A place where the ball is considered a hitter's part forever.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: So I don't think you can get mad about it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: It's just stuff happens. It's just a bad night for him.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: And what happens if he goes out and goes six
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: shutting and no one's talking about it. So it was
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: a bad night. But you know what, the biggest thing
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: for Kyle Rison his team won. So at the end
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: of the day, you can't really get mad about that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: And we have those games in Guadalajara too, or maybe no,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Mexico City. I'm sorry it wasn't Guadalahara, but Mexico City.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I remember the I think Stroman had had a clunker
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: the one year he was having a great year when
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: they went.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Over to.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: England somewhere where they have it's the issue of Major
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: League Baseball. Yeah, I think a JA you might have
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: been there, but like major League Baseball can't. They don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: know what a stadium is going to play like until
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: they get there. But then there's also other things that
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: were used to do in the game with the human door,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: be able to make the baseballs for that specific city
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: play a little bit different, and that's why you see
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: these like major lopsided games. You just don't know how
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the stadium is gonna play.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Let's do this. We were just talking about the game
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, which you can find on sekik if you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: want to grab a ticket. It's Gasser against Gin tonight.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Gin's been really good for the EA's He's got a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: two seven to four R watch out watch out hi
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: EO Race tonight. But educase in the code. Yeah, id
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: your tickets using the code territory ten for ten percent
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: off of those tickets. Onzek any other games, you guys
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: have an eye on this evening or series that you're liking.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, for UAG, I'm sure you're keeping an eye
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: on the Braves in the White Sox. White Sox, I
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: think have a tougher schedule here for the rest of
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the month, right.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And they just called up Brave Montgomery, one of
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: their big prospects, to make his debut, so yeah, that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: a that's a big one.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They lost too out of three to the Phillies. Let's
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: see how they do.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: They do have a tougher schedule coming up, but Skens
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: is pitching against the Dodgers, so that's always that's always
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: something to see. And and Dylan see speaking his return
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: or probably the big ones for.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Me, Yeah, he's against Wheeler in Philly or No in Toronto.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and for me it's the Yankees in Cleveland. I
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: don't like when teams go somewhere, go home, and then
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: play the exact same team right away.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Again.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I don't like that because you're seeing the exact same
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: team pretty much the exact same part of the season.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I want to see teams, especially ald Division, play each
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: other a little bit farther apart. And I think the
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Yankees got they got outmatched in that last series, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I think I want to see Garrett's bounce back, and
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: I want to see how the Yankees bounce back.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: M and one more I'll throw out there. If you're
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: in San Diego, it's always a hot ticket, so getting
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: ten percent off is meaningful. Chase Burns matching up against
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the Padres and Lucas Giulito, sign me up for that.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm really enjoying watching Chase Burns so far this season.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And also keep in mind, I mean at some point
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: later in the year they might have to endingscap him
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a little bit. He's a young pup, so enjoy it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: right now, I know, but it's part of the.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Game with the Reds are not playing good baseball.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: No they're not.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: They're not playing good.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Hunter Green is expected back before the All Star break.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He is needed. Elie da is missing in action right
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: now for them. He is needed. You're right, Hunter Green
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: cannot hit, Elie Dala Cruz can hit. It would be
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: nice to have him, and they need more outfield bats,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: some help in that department at the trade deadline. Can't
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: just be JJ Blade out there. Okay, here's the code
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for you. You can use it for any MLB tickets
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: ten percent off next set of tickets at TEK Territory
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: one zero. Make sure you click the link in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: description to download the app and have the code automatically
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: added to your account so you can use it later.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, people complain.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: I know people that went to Mexico City this year,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: they were complaining about the stadium and how hard it
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: was to pitch, and you know, the teams that went
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: there and saying, wow, we went already and it was
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: tough to go there. So yeah, I mean, if you
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: have a great outing, no one cares. I mean, we
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: played in Puerto Rico one year. Guys are hitting homers
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: and it was great, right if you were one of
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: the guys that hit a home run, But then there
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: was other guys that didn't do anything, like oh he
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: had to go all the way to Puerto Rico, So
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: you know, we had to play in Fort Bragg one year.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: You know, these these games are cool for the breaks
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: up to Monotoni this season, but if you have a
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: good game, you remember, and if you have a bad game,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: you want to forget it as quick as possible. It's
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: one game for Kyle Ierson. If this one game cost
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: him to cy young, then you know what, Sorry, Kyle,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: but that means you still had a great year because
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: you're in the conversation.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And people will remember it. If he's that close to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that's my thing. If he's that close, like let's say
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: he makes thirty something starts and he ends up with
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: a low two ZRA and he's going up against somebody
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: who's in a similar boat, They'll they'll remember that, you
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: don't think so. I think they'll remember that because it'll
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: be in the conversation the whole year.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: It'll be probably like, it'll definitely be brought up.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, Vasselo and the rest of the Brewers PR
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: team will make sure that it's brought up. If you
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: take away the one start he had this but you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: I'm sure everybody usually has one clunker during the year,
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: and if you take that one clunker away, it makes
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: everyone's stats expeter At some point. Let's say Christopher Sanchez
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: having a great year, He's going to have a bad
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: start at some point. If you're a Phillies fan, you
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: hope not Otani's going to have a clunker or he
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: gives up some runs at some point Skeens has had
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: a couple already that where they weren't great for him, right, So,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you're a starter, though, you have enough
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: innings built up to where you can make up for it.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: If you're a reliever and you have a stouting like this,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: it takes you all year to make up for it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, Skeens. Skeens had you know, one or
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: two already. One early on, of course, in the beginning
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of the season, on opening Day against the Mets, which
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: had some bad defense behind him, but still he had
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: some walks in that one. And then I'm trying to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: look back quickly on Sanchez because I remember one or
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: two clunkers for him already. Let's see April twenty third
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: at Chicago, six runs, all earned, five and a third
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: twelve hit gave up. Yeah, so, I mean that was
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the real clunker. It happens, It's gonna happen to people.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It's not that different, you're right, adraight, like that clunker
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: from Sanchez in Chicago, And I don't remember that game specifically.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe there was some wind action going on too. It's
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: not that different from six earned runs into and a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: third for Kyle Harrison here, So there it is. There's
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: one of your clunkers.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: It happens.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I thought it was fun. See for me, Yeah, I
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: don't want this all the time, but they're gonna do
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: what six of these in a row here this week
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: on a home stand, and for me, it'll be a
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: game that I watch a little more closely tonight because
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I just want to see if the balls fly like that,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: if players adjust, if pitch. I mean, there's only so
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: much adjusting you can do, of course, especially as a pitcher,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: but I mean if you're a hitter, guys, you know
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: that if you send a fly ball that's almost like
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: sack fly territory medium to deep right and right field,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: say that thing could leave, just like Jonah him like
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that was a flyball in every other ballpark, in every
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: other scenario besides this one with wind going out one
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: hundred degrees elevated in Vegas, humidor issues, the whole thing.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Sacramento those the same way. Talk to people that
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: had played a Sacramento they say left field is the
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: exact same way, and right field to an extent. But
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: they were talking about how if you just hit a
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: pop up the left the wind blows out and it
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: goes out all the time.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So of course field forever, that was the game.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Changer, right, So I you deal with it as a player.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: You deal with it, You get through the games, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: you move on. That's it.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Can you swing like? Can you I don't want to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: say swing differently? Can you game plan differently? Like? I
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: got to lift a ball in the air, and in
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: many cases this would not be the way to do
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: it in an ab because this is probably a fly
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: ball out. But if I try and swing a certain
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: way on a pitch, it might leave where it doesn't
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: usually leave. Can you do any of that?
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Hitting wise?
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Hitting wise, you could you could look you could look
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: to you know, maybe hit a fly ball, I mean,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: maybe contact a little farther out front. I think you
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: still have to You still have to work against the pitcher.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: You still have to get a good pitch to hit.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: You still have to be able to understand the situation.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I think the biggest game plan change is pitching.
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: We cannot go for the strikeouts if if your stuff
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: isn't working the same, we cannot go for the strikers.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: We cannot get to account where they're behind in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: strike in the count and say, oh, well, now we
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: got to you know, we got to give in or
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: we walk a guy and give them free runs. You're
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: gonna give up homers if it's gonna be blown out again.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: So you got to work.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Down in the zone and you got to attack and say,
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you know what, solo home runs don't kill you.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm going to be excited to see if you
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: guys picked that game over the new few days.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Well over under today when wait over under is thirteen today,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: So I mean it's a big number already.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I can take that. You'll see
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: my luck.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: I thought about it, but thirteen is still especially when
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: teams score that many runs they play extra innings, you're
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: thinking like they might have used them all up.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: But we'll see. There's a trend maybe.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow twenty nine runs, so we'll see. And so lastly,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: all in all, like we have no problem. We like
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: this right A week of this in Vegas conditions they're
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: different fun Okay, good, I agree.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: But by the way, the over under is higher than
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: the game in Colorado tonight in Vegas just defy.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: As it should be. I think it should be based
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: on what we saw yesterday. That sounds right, so we'll
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: My dog Bella would do anything for a treat, and
• 15:52

• 15:54

• 16:46
  Speaker 1: dub for the Mariners on Monday Night thanks to Josh
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Naylor All smiles, Grand Slam, tough pitch to hit too.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That was up and any turned on it. You know,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: for all his fun and antics, he's a good hitter
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: a j That was a huge pickup for them last offseason.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: He probably doesn't sign with the Mariners if he wasn't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: traded over there to Seattle and fell in love with
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the team during the season last year.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Did he throw his sliding minutet the catcher when he
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: crossed home plate to make sure he would score.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: That's a signature signature, So you.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Should start doing that. He should just keep in his
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: back pocket. Every time he hits a home run, he
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: should throw it at the catcher to make sure he
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: doesn't tag.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Everybody should do it. Everybody should have two of them,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: two sliding mints. Just you're running down the line, start
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: launching them like like ninja stars at the balls.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: It's getting thrown there.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: What I was what, I'm definitely able to do this.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: He's trying to throw a mitt at anybody. It's so
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: hard to run home in a straight line, like throwing
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a mit perfectly and getting in the way. Sorry, I
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: agree with you yesterday.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we did go over this yesterday and we only
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: have a minute here, but it does appear as if
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the Tigers felt he was doing it on purpose.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: They hit him through it, They threw it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: Tider Montero did not, did not. He wasn't like, oh,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: it's slipped. He was like, yeah, I hit you. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: what Fraanburgh was laughing at him in the dugout. Yeah,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Douger's got a lot more to worry about than than that.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Agreed.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Agreed, Yeah, that's what he said.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: That's what he said.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. Let's do some manager quotes for
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that's what he said. We'll talk about Tony Vaitello and
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: his closer situation, but we'll start with Kurt Suzuki's closer situation.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Chase Silseth is having a dynamite year out of the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: bullpen for the Angels. He was used in a blowout
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: game a couple of days ago. Last night, the Angels
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: lost a tough one blown save. They had a lead
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: in the ninth, the Astros come back. They end up
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: winning in extras. They got to Kirby Yates, Sam Blum
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: does the hard stuff when he covers the team. He's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: not every day on the team anymore, and you can
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: hear him often on our Halo Territory show, but he'll
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: show up, he'll ask whatever. He is fearless. So let's
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: go to the tweet from Sam Blum here to tee
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: up the situation. Sam said, I asked Kurt Suzuki, the manager,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: why he used Kirby Yates as the closer given his
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: performance this year, and he said that Suzuki confirmed to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Chase Silseth was unavailable after pitching in a seven run
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: game the day before. Quote from Kurt, We're going to
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: give him the chance to close. We signed him to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: be our closer, and we're going to give him a
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: chance to close. We did feel like his stuff was
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: ticking up, and he's been doing really well this year
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: against right handers. Just didn't get it done tonight. So
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: there's some frustration, clearly aj from Angels fans in terms
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: of the usage here. It's not gonna matter. They're not
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: going to miss the playoff by a game, but they
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: just want to see the process play out like many
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: other teams do it.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I don't know why I don't follow the
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Angels that closely because they're so far out of the race.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: But why did Silsa the v semi stegregor A pitching
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: a blowout? That would be my next question if he's
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: your so called closer, and then listen. Kirby Ah has
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: had a nice career and he's had a nice run
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: of closing games out when he's healthy, so I don't listen.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with him being the choice
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: given the bullpen situation.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: He blew it. Stuff happens.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, the greatest closers on Earth, they're blown, asked
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: Mario Rivera two thousand and one Game seven when he
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: blew it, right, I mean they've all everyone's blown a safe.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: So I get why Sam Blum asked the question, But
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: I think the more interesting question is why did Silsa
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: pitchman in a seven run game?
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: And it was back to back night, like he pitched
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the night before and they're won, nothing lost, so they
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: used them in a close game.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: It's tough. It's tough when you have games or teams
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: like this.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: It's like when you're close in a game, you're like,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: we gotta throw our best pitchers to keep this game close.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: This could be the one that we're gonna win, and
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: then you get hamstrung. I don't know what happened in
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: the seven run game, but honestly, when you look down there,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: and this is going to go against analytics, the ninth
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: inning is different. When I look down at the sheet
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: and I go, who do I have down there, I'm
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: gonna say, Okay, I got Kirby Yates. If since that's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: not there, I don't have anybody else that's saying they're
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the most dominant. Yeah, you have plenty of guys that
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: have better numbers, and I was trying to look up
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: their numbers here just to just to see what other
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: guys he had down there available. They're gonna have better numbers.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: But there's something different about the ninth inning. So you
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: put somebody in there who has felt that situation. He
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: has strikeout stuff. I think he has like thirteen or
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: fifteen strikeouts in the ten innings he's thrown. But yes,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: he's gotten hit a little bit. Yes he doesn't necessary
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: you know, he doesn't necessarily throw strikes all the time,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: but he's been in that situation and he has a
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: strikeout pitch that has has had success. I don't hate
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that choice. I really don't. The night before is the
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: choice that I'm not a big fan of.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: All right, let's cue this quick sound from Giants manager
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Tony Baytello, and if he feels handcuffed by the lack
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: of one true closer at this point in the season,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I trying to say, then you're not feeling a little
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: bit handcuffed that you don't have a true closer out
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: there and you've been doing trial there with these guys
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: in the ninth inning.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: No, we'd be handcuffed as a coaching staff. We didn't
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: have a good team. We've got a good team.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I guess it was the most exciting answer, But I
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: think it helps to have a good closer.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: They they have a good team, are supposed.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: To say you have a bad team.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I know there's there is no answer for him to say,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: but do they have it?
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're they're they're battling the Rockies for last
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: place right now.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: It's not like they're I mean, even going into this year,
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: we kind of thought like where the Giants gonna be.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: But the Giants are twenty seven and forty twenty seven
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: and forty that's not a good team.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: They are no closer, Like you can keep trying to
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: pick guys out. They traded a dude that could have
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: been a closer. They sent down Ryan Walker like they're
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: not playing well. There were two dudes on the roster
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: at this time last year that were looking to possibly
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: be All star closers, and now they have neither of
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: them on their big league team.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're that great now.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: They were blitzed by the Gnats and the ninth inning
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a three run ninth for the Gnats to win by
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a run, and the Knats can score. You gotta be
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: careful with them who runs.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: But again, here's the thing. They weren't good. We didn't
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: think when they we went into the season.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: We did anybody in here say, man, Giants are going
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: to be as good as the Dodgers. No, No, they
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: were split fourth place team pretty much.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Let's talk Christopher Sanchez for a moment. He pitched against
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. He won as usual, he punched out
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: ten Kratz. What are they saying about him?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously everybody's gonna remember his streak, this is
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: scoreless inning streak this year.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: But to me, the fifth or sixth inning.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I wish I remember what it was where he needed
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: strikeouts and he got him. He got one strikeout on
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: a change up, one strikeout on a slider cutter thing
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: that he was throwing, and one strikeout on a heater.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I think that is when I when you see anyings
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: like that, you feel like a guy is taking that
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: next step to say, okay, yes. Last year I was
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: top three cy Young votes. I want to win it
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: now because in big spots, he's coming up with big
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: punch outs that making three different guys in the lineup right,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: he lefty, righty look stupid.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: He gave up a home run. He stinks first one
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: in like forever stinks.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: This guy stinks.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: I still think he's given one up in in Philly.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: He went for a long time last year without giving
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: one up in Philly, which anybody's ever played in Philly
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: should not be a picture's park, and he has made
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: it a pitcher's park.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I mean the Phillies rotation has tilted the narrative there. Right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you look and you're like, oh, low scoring game
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: in Philly, and it's like whoa, whoa, whoa. You don't
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: know how that park plays It's just that it's Sanchez
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and it's Wheeler and Lozardo when he has his good nights.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: When we had vintage Nola, you know, for a while
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: there was a lot working and then Doron obviously, so
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: there's some there's some good arms in that rotation, but
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Sanchez is the best.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Hey.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was telling, was it yesterday who did
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: we have? Didn't we have someone? We'd Brad Keller yesterday
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, whose tool do you like the best? Like,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: you know, give me one trait? And he picked Sancho,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean he just kind of generalized, but
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: picked Sanchez. He shouted out many other teammates they're superstars there,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: but for him, Sanchez is the show right now. And
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: that's saying a lot. When Schover is one of the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: home run leaders, Bryce is there, You've got Tray Speed,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: You've got Duran in the ninth Sanchez is the show.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: And by the way, when they get into the postseason,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: if you've got to face Sanchez, Wheeler, Lozardo, Nola and
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: now Bullpen with Keller and Duran at the back end,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: and I guess Alvarado is he eligible this year?
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Is that's pretty good.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: He's back bowling YEA support for today's episode comes from Square,

• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Tim Healy wrote this morning a report that the Red
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Sox are not considering firing chief baseball officer Craig Breslo.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: There has not even been a discussion about making a change.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: My answer to this report, and I love Timmy does
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a great job, is there's one or two people making
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this decision. And yeah, they're not making a change mid season.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: But guys, if the Red Sox finished ten games under
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: five hundred after this year, do you think that they
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: might reconsider their position or do they look back at
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: last year making the playoffs and saying, eh, we're okay.
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: They fired the manager already, right right, They let Breslo
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: fire the manager, put his people in place. And now
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: this is one of the reasons that this was speculated,
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: not by us, but by a lot of the experts.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: The reason Breslo fired Cora was because he was feeling
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: pressure to win this year. And what was it, Heim
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Bloom got three years. This is Breslo's third year, if
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: I'm correct, So if he doesn't win this year, which
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: right now they're not in a very good position to
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: do it.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: He could be feeling some heat. I don't know if
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: they'll do.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: That, but this is the old, uh, dreaded vote of confidence, right, Oh,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: he's not going anywhere, and then they always find out,
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: like a month later or whatever, something happens.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: It's usually having coaches and managers.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I don't think Craig Breslow's I think he is. I
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: think he's good where he's at. I'm only saying that
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: because I think they gave Craig enough of a vote
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: of confidence to make his own decision to fire Korra.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: And as much as ownership could say yes, that was
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Craig's Craig's thing, you can't make that kind of fell
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: swoop through a coaching staff.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Without the okay by ownership.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: So to me, I think I think they're more behind
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Breslo than than history would say. Now next year is
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the dreaded fourth year of being a GM or being
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: in the front office under John Henry. You have to
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: you have to perform, you have to do things, and
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: even when you do that, they still fire you. So
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's on the chopping block. I feel
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: like the way he speaks speaks to like the rich
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: and the famous, you know, with all those big words. Wow,
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I'm enamored by those big words. WHOA, what are you
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: doing with our pitching staff? We already have a good
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: young young position players. I think he's I think he's
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I think he's good to go for now.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're in last place.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah that's not good. Good too.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Nopeatnership doesn't care about wins.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Hey, we have some breaking news. The Brewers are handing
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: out another extension, this one to Luis Lara, a seven
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: year contract thirty one million bucks on the extension. It
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: includes three club options. That's Jeff passing with the report,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and then Baseball America has him ranked number five overall
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: in the Brewer system. By the way, the Brewers have
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: the best farm system in baseball right now, so five
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: means one or two and many other organizations. He is
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: a high end prospect. The deal max is out at
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: seventy nine million dollars, So Luis Lara, no matter what happens,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: is a multi millionaire, and he's not necessarily going to
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: be up in the show right away either. Just like
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Cooper Pratt. Hey Jay, they've done this twice now, and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: this seems to be a new tactic for Milwaukee. Can
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: they lock down their players before they even crack the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: big leagues?
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: I like this strategy if you're a Brewers and we
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: saw the Pirates do with Connor Griffin, right, If you're
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: the Brewers, this is a way to keep guys around
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: for possibly longer than they hit free agency. Gives their
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: fans some to look at and say, oh wow, we've
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: got Pratt locked up, We've got Laura, We've got Churio.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: We've got these guys locked up for a long time.
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: And it gives you some to build off of if
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: you think these guys are going to be good players.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: I know some agents will say, don't do it, you
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: can get more. But also if you're Luis Lara and
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: they offer you thirty one million guaranteed, possibly seventy nine
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: million dollars, it's really hard as a kid twenty in
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: the around twenty years old to turn that down. I'm sorry,
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: and good for him, good for the Brewers, and I
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: like this trend. I think it's good for the game,
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: and I think it shows that that smaller market teams
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: can compete as long as they sign the right guys
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: and guys they believe in.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what's wrong with that? Many millions of dollars?
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: And this is where I feel like people who rip
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: on us for being a player centric show. This would
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: be against what the Players Association says, like play it out.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: You know this is you want to build the value.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: There's so much value. My guy is not even in
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: the big leagues yet, he's not even dominating Triple A yet.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: To me, I think this is how teams can compete.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: But this also should give fans a glimpse that there's
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: money out there.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: People complain.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Just the other day it came out about the whole
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: tatist accepting the money before from from the company that
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: was giving out money in the minor leagues. Now he's
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: complaining about the teams should be The teams shouldn't complain
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: about this. They have an opportunity to these guys up early.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: They should do it. They should go to it because
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: you're not going to hit on all of them. But
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: you know what it does. It creates It creates a
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: stable force in your organization. Now you're going to have
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Jackson Curio. You still have Jelly for a minute, you
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: still have Then you have Laura, then you have Cooper Pratt.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: You have guys that are willing to be in the organization,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: want to be there and are going to play together
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: their style of baseball.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: And just to get some more info in Larras. So
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: he's an outfielder right, Venezuelan and outfielder signed for seven
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: figures about a million bucks out of Venezuela. Remember Jackson
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Curio did this, who was more highly touted. But Larra
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: is still a big deal prospect that does not have
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the pop that Churios has, the speed, has the contact
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: ability right basically the rest of the tools, not the power,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Like he has almost no power so far in the
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: minor leagues. That doesn't mean he doesn't find a little
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: bit grow into his body more. But he is a
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: small guy. He's five foot seven and the brew are
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: one of those teams we've talked about multiple times. They
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: have a short kings thing, just like the Diamondbacks are
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: starting to do. They do not care about size. They
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: also have a different brand of baseball that is much
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: more coming at you, blitz ball category, and Laura fits
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: right into that. Mold.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: So he steals bases.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Yep, listen, he steals bases, he gets on base, doesn't
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: strike out a ton in the minor leagues. I mean,
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: this is a Brewers tight player. I mean he's twenty
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: one years old. I mean, look at those are those
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: numbers obviously this year. But he's a pretty good player. Man,
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: that's a pretty good player. The k percentage is huge
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: for me. He's on more walks and strikeouts this year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: This is this is a win for me, this is
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: a win for Laura, and this is a win for
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the Brewers.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I'm always taking back to what Savado Perez told me
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: about his first contract that he signed. He said, crappy,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: He said, do you know how many bees? That many
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: millions of dollars is for my family? My family and
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: never has to work again. Salvi's made his money on
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: the back end of his career. Right now, it's five
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixty three b's for every American.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Dollar in Venezuela.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: This is life changing, generational changing, family, generational changing for him.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: So good for Larra.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then one other tool. He's got a canon
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: arm in the outfield too, so he's got plenty of them.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: He fits him perfect in the Brewers. He's a Brewers player.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, he is a Brewers type player.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: That's good for the Brewers.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, that's a good player.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Usually, Hey, let's slap just some quick news here. Then
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: we'll stay on for the YouTube crowd as we do.
