Pirates promote Konnor Griffin, Matt Chapman/Casey Schmitt viral error, Rangers-O’s ends on ABS · Foul Territory

0:01
Speaker 1: Charge about.
0:04
Speaker 2: Aerocrats. Connor Griffin to the show, he learned everything in
0:08
Speaker 2: one week in Triple A. This is awesome. First of
0:10
Speaker 2: all for Tigers fans. He's nineteen years old. He's going
0:13
Speaker 2: to make his debut in the home opener. How convenient
0:15
Speaker 2: against the Orioles. And according to Jason Mackie, who covers
0:19
Speaker 2: the team, he said the move was made for baseball
0:21
Speaker 2: reasons and because he's their best option. Joe Sherman tweeted
0:24
Speaker 2: about this and essentially said the same thing, where they
0:27
Speaker 2: wanted to see if he would win the job in spring,
0:29
Speaker 2: then he faded a little bit late. So Ken also
0:32
Speaker 2: commented on how he heard from team reps. I'm paraphrasing,
0:36
Speaker 2: but that you know, they wanted him to get a
0:38
Speaker 2: little confidence boost and he did hit the crap out
0:40
Speaker 2: of the ball in Triple A for a week. Here
0:43
Speaker 2: he comes. So let's cover the good stuff first. How
0:46
Speaker 2: much does this impact the Pirates? They were not getting
0:48
Speaker 2: much shortstop production from primarily gied Triolo, and their position
0:53
Speaker 2: as a whole right now again in a week was
0:55
Speaker 2: like two hundred. I know we're going to play the
0:56
Speaker 2: small sample size game, but shouldn't this kid just be
0:59
Speaker 2: here from the jump, helping this team try to make
1:01
Speaker 2: the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
1:03
Speaker 1: I think it matters what your nine best players look like.
1:07
Speaker 1: I think Jared Triolo at third base is gold. I
1:11
Speaker 1: think him its third and second base. He has a
1:14
Speaker 1: utility gold glove for that. So to me, throwing him
1:17
Speaker 1: at shortstop might be undervaluing what you're getting out of shortstop.
1:23
Speaker 1: Connor Griffin. He could come up to the big leagues
1:25
Speaker 1: and struggle. We're not even talking about his hitting. We're
1:27
Speaker 1: talking about what he adds to this team, what he
1:30
Speaker 1: adds to the future of this team. Maybe his first
1:34
Speaker 1: fifty at bats don't go well, but now the rest
1:38
Speaker 1: of the team is starting to get the rhythm of
1:39
Speaker 1: what it's like to have him in the lineup, the
1:43
Speaker 1: fanfare out there around him. To me, I don't think
1:45
Speaker 1: it's going to be a struggle. I think he's going
1:47
Speaker 1: to acclimate very well to the big leagues. And I
1:50
Speaker 1: think this was a decision that they made his five games.
1:55
Speaker 1: His five games in TRIPLEA did not make them say cow,
2:00
Speaker 1: he really did this, Like, hey, he killed it down there,
2:04
Speaker 1: But what happens if he had hit one hundred? But
2:06
Speaker 1: they had said, you know, he's not ready yet. No,
2:08
Speaker 1: it's a first day, it's the first home it's a
2:11
Speaker 1: home opener. They're ready to sell some tickets and get
2:14
Speaker 1: some fans excited in the seats.
2:18
Speaker 2: I think there was consensus on this show that we
2:20
Speaker 2: wanted him up in the show AJ at the start
2:23
Speaker 2: of the season, and I feel like there was a
2:25
Speaker 2: lot of pushback from people like, no, no, no, he's
2:27
Speaker 2: not ready. Are those same people saying that right now?
2:31
Speaker 3: Or what changed in a week? What changed in a week?
2:34
Speaker 3: One week?
2:34
Speaker 2: We always talk about small sample size in our sport.
2:37
Speaker 2: One week, what is it five games in Triple A
2:40
Speaker 2: made the difference? Or should he have been with the
2:42
Speaker 2: team from the jump? Does this team miss the playoffs
2:45
Speaker 2: by a game or two? And go, oh, I wonder
2:47
Speaker 2: if we had Connor Griffin in a couple of damns
2:51
Speaker 2: in the first week. Maybe I'm overplaying it, But my
2:53
Speaker 2: point AJ is, here's what's here's what's really gonna happen. AJ.
2:57
Speaker 2: Friday home opener gonna be awesome. And and then on
3:01
Speaker 2: Friday night or Saturday, they will announce the extension. You
3:04
Speaker 2: can't announce it and have it official before that. Since
3:07
Speaker 2: there's a PPI. That's the extra pick you get if
3:10
Speaker 2: the player wins rookie the year, or if the player
3:12
Speaker 2: wins MVP within the first three years or what is
3:15
Speaker 2: it top three MVP? Yes, three or top three yeah,
3:19
Speaker 2: so three years that would enable him to give the
3:22
Speaker 2: Pirates an extra pick. They messed that up with Paul Skens.
3:25
Speaker 2: They called him up too late. So to me, this
3:29
Speaker 2: is awesome. Should have happened a week ago. The timing
3:32
Speaker 2: is all very convenient for keeping a player down until
3:34
Speaker 2: he agrees to a contract extension.
3:37
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say I disagree with you, Scott,
3:40
Speaker 3: but I will say this. They will not announce it
3:42
Speaker 3: a day or two after. They'll give it a little
3:44
Speaker 3: more time. They'll give it four or five days because
3:46
Speaker 3: they don't want to make it that obvious that he's
3:49
Speaker 3: getting called up because they're close to an extension, or
3:51
Speaker 3: he's going to agree to EXTENSI because if they do
3:53
Speaker 3: it the day over the next day, people say, hm,
3:55
Speaker 3: that's strange. If only shows like foul Territory said he
3:59
Speaker 3: would assign the extension spring training, he'd already be up.
4:02
Speaker 3: So I think that he's up and they can say
4:04
Speaker 3: it is for baseball reasons. Listen, Triolo struggled. We said
4:08
Speaker 3: he was going to struggle a shortstop. We all know
4:09
Speaker 3: he can't play short stop every day. The Pirates have
4:12
Speaker 3: figured that out so now, but they knew that in
4:13
Speaker 3: spring training. This was just to put Listen. I hate
4:16
Speaker 3: to say this because it just it stinks that we
4:19
Speaker 3: even have to talk about this, But they did this
4:21
Speaker 3: to make Connor Griffin see, hey, if you signed this extension,
4:24
Speaker 3: you could be in the big leagues. And boom here
4:25
Speaker 3: he isn't on the home opener. You think he's not
4:27
Speaker 3: going to sell a few more tickets on the home opener.
4:29
Speaker 3: I don't know if they were sold out already, but
4:31
Speaker 3: they're gonna be now, right, They're gonna be now. And
4:34
Speaker 3: if you would have if you would have came up
4:35
Speaker 3: the first day of the season.
4:37
Speaker 1: No, they wouldn't have sold out.
4:38
Speaker 3: Yes, they still would have sold out on their home opener.
4:40
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I just hate that we have
4:42
Speaker 3: to have these conversations. Why can't the team just call
4:45
Speaker 3: up their best players. And if their best player to
4:47
Speaker 3: play shortstop is Connor Griffin, he's gonna struggle, guys. He's
4:50
Speaker 3: nineteen years old. He's nineteen years old. Everyone has had struggles,
4:55
Speaker 3: right want Soto when he came up, he had some struggles.
4:57
Speaker 3: Bryce Harper had some struggles, Mac Trout. They had some struggles.
5:00
Speaker 3: But you learn at the big league level and then
5:01
Speaker 3: you're better off in the long run for it. So
5:03
Speaker 3: I thought he should have been here from opening day.
5:05
Speaker 3: I'm glad they're finally making this decision after five whole games. Man,
5:08
Speaker 3: he went down to Triple A and did well, So man,
5:11
Speaker 3: now he's up, Like, come on, are you kidding? Those
5:13
Speaker 3: five games didn't mean anything other than I don't even
5:16
Speaker 3: know why they did that. They should have just had
5:18
Speaker 3: him in the big leagues for opening day. They didn't,
5:19
Speaker 3: And but now here he is, and hopefully he has
5:21
Speaker 3: a great career.
5:23
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, and this is this is tough for
5:25
Speaker 1: me because ever since this news came out, AJ was
5:28
Speaker 1: the first one to text us about it, and so
5:31
Speaker 1: I started thinking, I'm like, what if I ran the pirates?
5:36
Speaker 1: What is the what is the issue of not doing
5:40
Speaker 1: it this way? Like if I call him up, if
5:42
Speaker 1: I call him up one opening day, because they clearly
5:44
Speaker 1: think he's ready. He didn't change anything in Triple A
5:47
Speaker 1: to say, wow, he really changed our mind in those
5:49
Speaker 1: five games, so they knew he was ready. But everybody
5:53
Speaker 1: would do this once a week on the show. AJ's
5:57
Speaker 1: pining for somebody to pay for his meal. Oh and
5:59
Speaker 1: I see you're gonna pay for my meal. The pirates
6:02
Speaker 1: are looking to get the most, extract the most value
6:04
Speaker 1: out of this player, and to me calling him up
6:09
Speaker 1: on opening day, having him sign an extension that is,
6:14
Speaker 1: you know, the value that he wanted on before opening day,
6:18
Speaker 1: and then not getting a PPI pick, not getting you know,
6:21
Speaker 1: he opens on the road. All the things that the
6:23
Speaker 1: pirates are doing to me. The pirates show me by
6:27
Speaker 1: doing this that they're like, eh, it's okay if we
6:31
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs by one game, but financially they're like, yeah,
6:35
Speaker 1: we're just we're just trying to extract the most value
6:38
Speaker 1: out of this, out of this situation as possible.

7:44
Speaker 2: can also show the Jimboden tweet and we went over
7:47
Speaker 2: this yesterday when Buster only put out a tweet about
7:51
Speaker 2: the two sides getting close. And I do believe that
7:54
Speaker 2: the sides basically already have it done and that you
7:57
Speaker 2: at this point have to wait. But Boden said, the
8:02
Speaker 2: Connor Griffin earra begins tomorrow in the Burg front office
8:05
Speaker 2: is quietly confident they'll be able to announce the long
8:08
Speaker 2: term deal prior to the game expectations is it will
8:11
Speaker 2: be an eight year deal in the range of Roman
8:13
Speaker 2: Anthony and cold Emerson deals. I will say Roman Anthony
8:16
Speaker 2: and cold Emerson deals or what thirty five ish million apart.
8:21
Speaker 2: So for his sake, I'm hoping it's closer to the
8:24
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony deal. It should be.
8:26
Speaker 1: In my mind for sure, I want to know what
8:30
Speaker 1: it was in spring training to what it is now.
8:33
Speaker 1: Every part of negotiation, everybody has leverage, and people are
8:37
Speaker 1: trying to use their leverage. And I think the Pirates
8:41
Speaker 1: use their leverage to say you could get called, you
8:45
Speaker 1: could make the opening day roster, and but you have
8:48
Speaker 1: to take X amount of dollars. He says no. Maybe
8:51
Speaker 1: maybe his agent found out that the cold Emerson thing
8:55
Speaker 1: was possibly happening, and there's you know, there's conversations. It's
8:58
Speaker 1: not like all of a sudden, Oh, cold Emerson's getting
9:01
Speaker 1: ninety million and the Pirates only offered me one hundred
9:04
Speaker 1: and one million. I don't know that number for sure,
9:06
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, like, I'm better than him. Industry
9:10
Speaker 1: knows I'm better than him, so we're gonna go and
9:14
Speaker 1: say no, no, Like there's everybody knows what the value
9:18
Speaker 1: of the player is. The team tries to keep it
9:20
Speaker 1: as low as possible, and the player tries to get
9:22
Speaker 1: it as high as possible.
9:24
Speaker 2: And when you sign a contract of any kind, you're
9:28
Speaker 2: signing it based on future projection. Sure the past plays
9:32
Speaker 2: into that, but the future projection for Connor Griffin, when
9:35
Speaker 2: you're looking at how the industry weighs a player like
9:38
Speaker 2: this is the highest in baseball for a prospect, for
9:41
Speaker 2: a prospect in the sport is the highest projection. If
9:45
Speaker 2: that's how we're basing things in the sport, then he
9:47
Speaker 2: should be the highest paid pre debut player and he
9:51
Speaker 2: should probably get a comp that's really similar to any
9:54
Speaker 2: player that's what below one season, one year of service time.
10:01
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it depends on how far like because
10:03
Speaker 1: those guys actually have some big league numbers to say,
10:07
Speaker 1: you know.
10:07
Speaker 2: Sixty something games, it's less than sixty something games.
10:11
Speaker 1: No, you can't tell unless the dude's making an All
10:13
Speaker 1: Star team. But you have you know, you're talking about
10:16
Speaker 1: eighty two, eighty ninety games of somebody making an All
10:20
Speaker 1: Star team in their rookie year. That would be the
10:21
Speaker 1: only way I wouldn't compare it to that. But yeah,
10:24
Speaker 1: one hundred percent.
10:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, so on the positive side. AJ, Wait, you're muted.
10:32
Speaker 1: You're still muted. Hold on, but no, I'm.
10:36
Speaker 3: Not muting now perfect okay, but by the way, let
10:40
Speaker 3: me just say this. You know who's winning out of this,
10:41
Speaker 3: the Pirate fans because they're going to get to see
10:43
Speaker 3: this kid for a long time. Let's I'm happy for them.
10:46
Speaker 3: They got a win. Pirate fans are getting a win
10:49
Speaker 3: right here, So be excited. And I'm happy for you guys.
10:51
Speaker 3: And you know what holds. I'm happy for Bob Nutting
10:54
Speaker 3: if this comes true and he signs this deal. Good
10:56
Speaker 3: for you, Bob Nutting and the Pirates organization. We're getting
10:59
Speaker 3: this done. And give Pirates fans hope and get in now.
11:02
Speaker 3: You know, are they going to be able to keep schemes?
11:04
Speaker 1: I don't know.
11:04
Speaker 3: But next should be Bubba Chandler. If you think Bubba
11:06
Speaker 3: Chandler is going to be great, then you should make Bubba.
11:08
Speaker 3: You should lock Bubba Chandler up next because you have Keller,
11:11
Speaker 3: you have Reynolds, you have some of these other guys, Like,
11:13
Speaker 3: let's lock some of these guys up if you think
11:15
Speaker 3: they are a core to winning for this organization. Because
11:17
Speaker 3: the Pirates fans. They need some wins and this hopefully
11:20
Speaker 3: is just the start of the wins for Pirate fans.
11:22
Speaker 2: And it's a key to building a consistent core that
11:25
Speaker 2: you can grow with. Right is lats of guys in earlier,
11:30
Speaker 2: the better you take on risk that if the player
11:33
Speaker 2: doesn't pan out, he did make a lot of money,
11:35
Speaker 2: but more likely than not these turn into bargains for
11:38
Speaker 2: the team based on market value of a player. I'm
11:41
Speaker 2: with you, I want to make sure we have that
11:44
Speaker 2: positive vibe for Pirates fans. They've gone through a lot
11:48
Speaker 2: for the past decade, a lot, a lot of nothing
11:51
Speaker 2: for the most part, so this is a really exciting time.
11:54
Speaker 2: I also want to give a little bit of love
11:56
Speaker 2: to Ben Charrington's group KRATS. Tanking is not what it
12:00
Speaker 2: used to be. We had a time period where if
12:02
Speaker 2: you're the worst team, you get the top pick. The
12:05
Speaker 2: Pirates were a little bit of part of that, but
12:07
Speaker 2: then through the last CBA it made it more difficult
12:10
Speaker 2: with lotteries and a few tweaks to not make it
12:14
Speaker 2: so obvious that you can tank and then get a
12:17
Speaker 2: ton of great players from the top of the draft.
12:20
Speaker 2: The Pirates have been bad for a while they've had
12:21
Speaker 2: many opportunities lately, they've been seizing them. So Ben Charrington's group,
12:26
Speaker 2: whoever he's got under him specifically, I don't have the
12:28
Speaker 2: names in front of me, but they know who they
12:30
Speaker 2: are drafting, developing. They've done a really nice job. We're
12:34
Speaker 2: talking about a number of homegrown players schemes you might
12:38
Speaker 2: want to put in a different category. He seemed obvious. Fine,
12:41
Speaker 2: but Connor Griffin, Bubba Chandler, guys like that that we
12:45
Speaker 2: are giving credit to have been. I would say, huge
12:49
Speaker 2: success stories for this team, and that's how you need
12:51
Speaker 2: to create a winner in Pittsburgh.
12:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't miss, you can't miss. You can't To me,
12:56
Speaker 1: I think where the Pirates have to do well is
12:59
Speaker 1: where they say, okay, we do a pre draft deal
13:03
Speaker 1: wherever their first pick is, and it's maybe lower than
13:07
Speaker 1: market value for that first pick, so that then they
13:09
Speaker 1: can maybe possibly hit on giving a guy overslot in
13:14
Speaker 1: the other rounds. And that's where the Pirates can find value. Obviously,
13:19
Speaker 1: if people want to say, yeah, they created Paul Skins,
13:24
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I kind of I have
13:26
Speaker 1: a tough time. I have a tough time getting on
13:28
Speaker 1: board with that. But to me, I think it's where
13:31
Speaker 1: they find that extra value. How do they handle how
13:35
Speaker 1: do they handle Bubba Chandler when he first gets to
13:38
Speaker 1: the big leagues? Okay, they put him in the bullpen. Okay,
13:40
Speaker 1: that's kind of weird, like he's never thrown out of
13:44
Speaker 1: the bullpen, but you do that. How do you handle
13:46
Speaker 1: this Connor Griffin's situation. I think while we would have
13:50
Speaker 1: liked to have seen him on Opening Day, you know what,
13:53
Speaker 1: they were trying to get the most value out of
13:55
Speaker 1: this situation, so they did what's best for the organization
13:58
Speaker 1: moving forward, even if it means he misses the first
14:01
Speaker 1: six games.
14:04
Speaker 2: Hey, while we're on the Pirates, Paul Skeans bounced back
14:06
Speaker 2: a little bit yesterday. I think he's going to be fine,
14:09
Speaker 2: AJ and he kind of joked with a little smile
14:12
Speaker 2: about how you know, he gave the team a little
14:14
Speaker 2: bit more volume this time around than last time, which
14:17
Speaker 2: I like, we get a little more personality out of
14:19
Speaker 2: schemes as he gets more comfortable in the bigs.
14:25
Speaker 3: I didn't mute myself. I didn't mute myself that time.
14:27
Speaker 3: I just want to say that was not me, so
14:29
Speaker 3: you can't yell maybe I'm.
14:30
Speaker 2: Going to be like the around the horn guy where
14:32
Speaker 2: I get to under the bus on AJ.
14:35
Speaker 3: That wasn't me, that muted myself. I'm just saying he's up.
14:38
Speaker 3: Grab Yeah, you have incoming, because I mean she was
14:41
Speaker 3: yelling at me because you know, anyways, we don't have
14:43
Speaker 3: time for that because my lock wasn't in and whatever. Anyways, Uh,
14:48
Speaker 3: were we really worried about Paul Skeens. I wasn't. I
14:49
Speaker 3: wasn't worried about him. I knew he'd bet he had one.
14:51
Speaker 3: He had a bad rough outing where the center fielder
14:54
Speaker 3: goaded a couple of balls and he would have been
14:56
Speaker 3: out of that inning with only a run or two. Instead,
14:58
Speaker 3: he gave him a five spot. The a ton of pitches.
15:00
Speaker 3: Give Mets credit, they took some long at bats off
15:02
Speaker 3: of them. Hall Skeins are gonna be fine. We ain't
15:04
Speaker 3: worried about pall Skins.
15:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's totally good. Seventy seven pitches, five innings. Though
15:11
Speaker 1: he didn't look like he wanted to come out of
15:13
Speaker 1: that game. He was kind of like huh, which I'm
15:16
Speaker 1: kind of confused because his last outing he didn't have
15:18
Speaker 1: the volume because you know, they had to pull him.
15:21
Speaker 1: I think it was thirty six pitches in the first inning, Like,
15:23
Speaker 1: you can't do that on your first outing. You got
15:26
Speaker 1: to get him out of there. But then seventy seven
15:29
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to send him back out
15:31
Speaker 1: for the sixth at least, which for him, you know,
15:34
Speaker 1: he can get up to eighty five eighty nine there
15:36
Speaker 1: and then then his outing would be done. But hey,
15:39
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a good bounce back for him.
15:42
Speaker 2: You've seen many late comebacks already in the first week
15:45
Speaker 2: of the season, big one in Philly with really back
15:48
Speaker 2: to back games ending up nicely for them. You had
15:51
Speaker 2: the Entrew Painter debut and then Kratz Justin Crawford in
15:54
Speaker 2: his fifth career game, gets the walkoff knock for them.
15:57
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this is this is huge for a
16:01
Speaker 1: team that everyone's saying, well, they're running it back and
16:04
Speaker 1: they're old, and Painter extends their rotation, Crawford extends their lineup,
16:12
Speaker 1: and to be able to get a walk off in
16:13
Speaker 1: your first home home stand, that's that's pretty legit knock
16:19
Speaker 1: right through the hole.
16:21
Speaker 2: They also so they were down five to one in
16:22
Speaker 2: the seventh and then what was it, ninth inning, down
16:25
Speaker 2: to their last strike and Mundo Sosa kept it alive.
16:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, mund a little punch shot to left, scored two,
16:32
Speaker 1: tied it up, held him in the tenth, and then
16:36
Speaker 1: finished it off in the I think it was a
16:37
Speaker 1: bottom of the tenth, maybe.
16:40
Speaker 2: The eleven it was, Yes, it was ten, bottom of
16:43
Speaker 2: the tenth. Yeah, one X training is all it took.
16:45
Speaker 2: But yeah, Justin Crawford has pretty good bloodlines. AJ. We
16:50
Speaker 2: spoke to him. We had him in person, and I
16:52
Speaker 2: don't think you were on that one, but we had
16:54
Speaker 2: him in person when he was with the Blue Claws
16:56
Speaker 2: down in Jersey Shore. He's a legit kid. You can
17:00
Speaker 2: tell that he knows what he's doing there in terms of,
17:04
Speaker 2: you know, being around big leaguers in a clubhouse, the
17:06
Speaker 2: whole deal, like mature hit.
17:08
Speaker 3: Yes, they're counting on him to be a big part
17:11
Speaker 3: of this season and this team so and for the
17:13
Speaker 3: future of this organization. So good job Justin Crawford. By
17:17
Speaker 3: the way, I just looked up the monster on the
17:19
Speaker 3: Green Monster. It doesn't look that bad. I don't know
17:21
Speaker 3: what there's It's not like this is the first advertisement
17:23
Speaker 3: that's ever been on the Green Monster. So sorry to
17:25
Speaker 3: change the subject, but didn't look that bad. It's a
17:28
Speaker 3: Green Monster Energy Dream sign, you know, next to bet MGM,
17:33
Speaker 3: who we love.
17:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably not a big deal. And if I
17:37
Speaker 2: mean I love when there are you know, marketing in
17:41
Speaker 2: a little organic marketing inclusion efforts in baseball that line
17:45
Speaker 2: up the name of something with the name of something else.
17:48
Speaker 1: It's obvious.
17:50
Speaker 3: Yeahous it almost made too much sense. So they were like, oh, wait,
17:53
Speaker 3: this makes too much sense, Let's not do it.
17:55
Speaker 1: That's easy cash. That's easy cash for Fenway Sports Group
17:58
Speaker 1: to spend on lit So that'll be that'll be great.
18:03
Speaker 3: The Penguins and.
18:04
Speaker 1: Penguins and racing and racing.
18:08
Speaker 3: Yes, although wins every race.
18:11
Speaker 2: True, this is for the astro sweeping Crush City territory
18:15
Speaker 2: because we're not going to talk about him today. But
18:17
Speaker 2: they get the T shirt.
18:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said.
18:19
Speaker 2: That's what he said.
18:21
Speaker 1: That's what he said.
18:23
Speaker 2: That's what he said, catch the effing ball. That's what
18:30
Speaker 2: Matt Chapman said to Casey Schmidt in a tough game
18:35
Speaker 2: for the Giants a j what did you think of
18:37
Speaker 2: Chapman yelling at Schmidt when they met at the mound?
18:40
Speaker 2: And a couple issues. So one was a bad throw
18:43
Speaker 2: by Chapman could some grab it, sure, and then you
18:46
Speaker 2: know one was a high throw. That was uh the
18:49
Speaker 2: first the high throw was Chapman's fault, right ish, And
18:53
Speaker 2: then no, you guys don't think it.
18:55
Speaker 3: Was the other way.
18:58
Speaker 1: Anytime it goes into the runner, that's that's yes, yeah,
19:02
Speaker 1: that one.
19:03
Speaker 3: The high throw is the one he said, catch the
19:04
Speaker 3: effing ball right right. If you ain't never been on
19:09
Speaker 3: a team, and you ain't never said something to someone
19:13
Speaker 3: or had someone say something to you, then you are
19:16
Speaker 3: doing things the right way. I'm sorry, because this happens
19:19
Speaker 3: all the time. Listen, Baseball players and athletes in general
19:23
Speaker 3: are the most competitive, by the way, just honest, I'm
19:28
Speaker 3: gonna move that shower spray, by the way, I don't know,
19:32
Speaker 3: I just saw that in the background. It was random.
19:34
Speaker 3: But if you've never been on a team, and you've
19:38
Speaker 3: never played in an ultra competitive situation and somebody hasn't
19:42
Speaker 3: said something to somebody on the team that hey, you
19:45
Speaker 3: need to figure this out or you need to figure
19:47
Speaker 3: that out, then you guys ain't doing it right. I'm sorry,
19:49
Speaker 3: And this is not a big deal. We're making this
19:51
Speaker 3: into a big deal because you could read his lips
19:52
Speaker 3: if Matt Chaman just would have gone catched the freaking
19:55
Speaker 3: ball with his glove over his mouth, we never would
19:57
Speaker 3: have known about this. So this is not a big
20:00
Speaker 3: and then to have people you know, chiming in on Twitter. Oh,
20:04
Speaker 3: Matt Schuman's a veteran god should dude. It happens all
20:08
Speaker 3: the time. Please can we stop?
20:10
Speaker 1: Stop?
20:10
Speaker 3: This happens all the time, from high school to college,
20:14
Speaker 3: to the minor leagues to the major leagues to whatever
20:16
Speaker 3: job you work in. If you work at a job
20:18
Speaker 3: and it's competitive and somebody hasn't said something like this
20:21
Speaker 3: but a different way to somebody meaning hey, type in
20:24
Speaker 3: the right thing or don't forget your TPS reports or
20:27
Speaker 3: whatever it is, then you're not doing things right and
20:30
Speaker 3: you're not really competitive at your job. I'm sorry, I
20:32
Speaker 3: had no problem with this.
20:33
Speaker 2: Wait, Kratz, I want to bring up what AJ is
20:36
Speaker 2: referring to. Yes, I see what you're saying. Cover what
20:39
Speaker 2: you're saying with your Mitt eighteen starts. By the way,
20:42
Speaker 2: for Casey Schmid, he's not played a lot of first base.
20:44
Speaker 2: Bryce Eldridge is in the miners, hopefully up soon for
20:47
Speaker 2: the Giants, and Raffie Devers has been dealing with a
20:48
Speaker 2: hamstring issue, so he's not playing first base. But to me,
20:53
Speaker 2: it heats up when you do get called out by
20:56
Speaker 2: somebody in the big leagues. Dad Daniels Schneeman, who's a
21:01
Speaker 2: nice young player on Cleveland. His dad tweets a lot.
21:05
Speaker 2: So we have the tweet of him talking about Matt
21:07
Speaker 2: Chapman and what went down in the game. We can
21:10
Speaker 2: show you that tweet here it is. He said, Casey
21:13
Speaker 2: Schmidt is a young player trying to establish himself. Matt
21:16
Speaker 2: Chapman is a veteran quote leader who acts like he's
21:19
Speaker 2: never made a mistake on the baseball field before. I
21:22
Speaker 2: remember Schnee making throws, throwing errors in back to back
21:26
Speaker 2: games in twenty twenty four in both Jose and Jimenez
21:29
Speaker 2: talking about Andres and Jose Ramirez patted him on the
21:33
Speaker 2: butt and picked him up at their meeting on the mound.
21:35
Speaker 2: We are so grateful our son plays for this organization
21:38
Speaker 2: and with this team culture. That's Papa Schneet, Daniel Schneeman's dad.
21:44
Speaker 2: Wowkrats The drama continues.
21:48
Speaker 1: I think maybe a little bit of this would have
21:50
Speaker 1: helped the glove over the face. Yes, but exactly what
21:54
Speaker 1: aj said because here's the other way that this goes down.
21:58
Speaker 1: I guess there's three ways. Chapman could be like whatever, whatever,
22:02
Speaker 1: it's not a big deal, and that means he's not competitive,
22:06
Speaker 1: or to me, the softest way that this goes down
22:10
Speaker 1: is he doesn't say a word to Casey Schmidt. He
22:14
Speaker 1: talks behind his back, and when that starts to happen,
22:18
Speaker 1: that is way more toxic than somebody calling somebody out.
22:22
Speaker 1: Should he have done it where we saw as what
22:24
Speaker 1: he said, No, should he have been called out? Absolutely,
22:29
Speaker 1: And what Papa Shni is saying is that, hey, you
22:33
Speaker 1: pat him on the back. Chapman's not just because he
22:37
Speaker 1: called him out and it was like catch the ball
22:41
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that he doesn't support him, doesn't mean that
22:43
Speaker 1: he's it is it is raising a level of expectation
22:47
Speaker 1: to where it needs to be for you to be
22:50
Speaker 1: at the top of your game, and the hole like,
22:52
Speaker 1: well he is new at first base, I don't care
22:56
Speaker 1: you're playing on the big league field, Like it's not
22:59
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna look at there and watch somebody drop a
23:01
Speaker 1: fly ball and go oh that's okay, Like he's not
23:05
Speaker 1: he's he's not really that good out there. Anyway, It's
23:07
Speaker 1: totally fine. Nobody nobody does that. Nobody like it just
23:12
Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't happen. Jose Butos out there, he was
23:16
Speaker 1: throwing a bunch of balls in the game, like he
23:18
Speaker 1: couldn't find the strike zone. He eventually came out because
23:21
Speaker 1: he was hurting. Like, no matter what's going on on
23:24
Speaker 1: the baseball field, if you want to compete as a team,
23:28
Speaker 1: this type of stuff happens, and it happens for the
23:32
Speaker 1: better of the team, for the better like moving forward.
23:36
Speaker 1: It's this isn't something that now Casey Schmid's all of
23:39
Speaker 1: a sudden gonna be clamming up. Casey Smid knows he
23:41
Speaker 1: didn't catch both those balls, two balls that should have
23:44
Speaker 1: been caught. He knows. Yes, he called him out, and
23:47
Speaker 1: then they talked about it after the game, like there's
23:50
Speaker 1: still teammates if he has to hold that against Chapman
23:53
Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, that dude, he called me out.
23:55
Speaker 1: That is bool. I can't believe he would have done that.
23:58
Speaker 1: They would have. They didn't have a chat anyway.
24:01
Speaker 3: And by the way, can I just say this, who
24:04
Speaker 3: cares what I mean? No offense? I mean to Papa,
24:07
Speaker 3: she shnee whatever his name is, Like, dude, why why is?
24:12
Speaker 3: I don't know about you crats, But if my mom
24:14
Speaker 3: or dad would have tweeted something like that, I would
24:15
Speaker 3: have been like, mom, dad, you guys are banned on Twitter,
24:17
Speaker 3: Like what are we talking? Like? You don't need to
24:19
Speaker 3: get involved in this. I'm sorry. It's not your team,
24:21
Speaker 3: it's not your kid. Don't get involved.
24:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not Yeah that was that was overstepping. I
24:27
Speaker 1: completely agree with you. There are things cool.
24:30
Speaker 3: Your kid made a couple of errors in the big leagues. Cool, like,
24:34
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean like you have the right to
24:36
Speaker 3: fire at another team. You're not on that other team. Dude,
24:39
Speaker 3: you don't know. Maybe he was joking. Maybe maybe Chapman
24:43
Speaker 3: and and Schmid have a relationship where they joke around
24:46
Speaker 3: with each other and say catch the ball, man, Like
24:47
Speaker 3: if I threw a ball to Paul can Erico and
24:49
Speaker 3: he missed it, I'd be like, dude, catch the freaking ball, bro,
24:52
Speaker 3: and we'd laugh about it, right, I mean, we wouldn't
24:55
Speaker 3: be pissed. Maybe they have that kind of like this
24:57
Speaker 3: guy doesn't know, Like, sorry, I can't tell people parent,
25:00
Speaker 3: I can't tell people how to talk to other people,
25:02
Speaker 3: but to me. If I'm just saying if this was
25:04
Speaker 3: my parents, I would have been like, Mom, Dad, what
25:06
Speaker 3: are y'all doing?
25:10
Speaker 1: Totally you have to you have to make sure and
25:12
Speaker 1: it's just not just a parent thing like one of the.
25:15
Speaker 3: One of the best nephew's friends all that.
25:18
Speaker 1: Yes, you give somebody tickets to a game and they
25:22
Speaker 1: sit in the family section, You as a player, are
25:26
Speaker 1: responsible for the things that they say. People say, Ah,
25:28
Speaker 1: that might not be that might not be it. You're responsible.
25:32
Speaker 1: You have to make sure they're in check or they
25:34
Speaker 1: don't sit in the family section. So it's just the
25:37
Speaker 1: same if you're gonna put my name on, if you're
25:39
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, I'm so and So's cousin, I'm Eric
25:44
Speaker 1: Kratz's you know brother, I'm I'm tweeting on it. No, No,
25:50
Speaker 1: like you got to keep you got to keep your
25:52
Speaker 1: family in check because it goes it goes down on you.
25:57
Speaker 2: I've got two thoughts here. Number one, I'm completely with
26:00
Speaker 2: you guys. I like this right. I didn't play the majors,
26:04
Speaker 2: played high school basketball. But if someone's saying that to me,
26:07
Speaker 2: that gets me fired up. If you have someone doing
26:09
Speaker 2: this all the time, sure it can get a little old,
26:12
Speaker 2: but a little kick sometimes great love it. That's Matt
26:15
Speaker 2: Chapman style number two. And I didn't see this anywhere,
26:17
Speaker 2: but maybe I missed it. I know this part for
26:19
Speaker 2: a fact. Matt Chapman has been diagnosed with Tourette syndrome
26:23
Speaker 2: since he's seven years old. I don't know the extent
26:26
Speaker 2: of it, but I do know that in one article
26:28
Speaker 2: I'm looking at quickly here it does include it involuntary vocalizations.
26:33
Speaker 2: He has ticks. He was made fun of and bullied
26:36
Speaker 2: when he was younger, so I don't want to use
26:39
Speaker 2: that to blame. But also on top of that, you're
26:42
Speaker 2: going to have some people that are picking on someone
26:44
Speaker 2: who has been diagnosed with turets for the past thirtieth
26:48
Speaker 2: years of his life.
26:51
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't never heard that, never heard that,
26:53
Speaker 3: although I did. My son played with the kid who
26:56
Speaker 3: had turets. He had legit turets where he would say
26:59
Speaker 3: things he was a great kid, and he was a
27:01
Speaker 3: decent ballplayer, and he could have gone on play, but
27:03
Speaker 3: he had he had turets. And he would say we'd
27:06
Speaker 3: be in the middle of a team meeting and he
27:07
Speaker 3: would he would get a tick and he would say
27:09
Speaker 3: things and you first time when I was helping coach,
27:11
Speaker 3: he did it, and I'm looking at the other coaches,
27:13
Speaker 3: I'm like, did he just say what I think he said?
27:16
Speaker 3: And they're like you didn't know, did you? And I
27:18
Speaker 3: was like no, and they're like no, it's just it's
27:20
Speaker 3: just he can't help himself. And I mean, it's it's amazing.
27:24
Speaker 3: It's it's not amazing. That's not the right thing, but
27:27
Speaker 3: it's just a it's a strange thing that happens and
27:30
Speaker 3: they can't control it. And I'm not saying that's what
27:33
Speaker 3: I'm with Matt Chapman, but I've been around a kid
27:35
Speaker 3: with turetts and it is you just learned to deal
27:38
Speaker 3: with it, and it's nothing they can do to control.
27:41
Speaker 2: It, exactly. Yeah. I mean, for anyone that has someone
27:45
Speaker 2: around them, you should learn about the syndrome and you
27:49
Speaker 2: know best ways to be able to interact with someone
27:52
Speaker 2: and also just understand them. So yeah, I've done some
27:55
Speaker 2: pretty good research on turettes over the years. I've known
27:57
Speaker 2: some people diagnosed with it, So anyway, I just hadn't
28:00
Speaker 2: seen that anywhere in terms of this particular case. Again,
28:03
Speaker 2: not blaming anything on this, but he does have Thrette syndrome.
28:07
Speaker 2: That is a fact.
28:08
Speaker 3: But also their teammates, they're frying their friends, trust me exactly.
28:11
Speaker 3: Everyone says, Oh, you're hunky dory with every teammate your
28:14
Speaker 3: whole year. No you're not. There are fights within teams
28:17
Speaker 3: that people never hear about, and there are arguments. You're
28:20
Speaker 3: like brothers, you're together for nine months straight. There's gonna
28:23
Speaker 3: be arguments. There's gonna be things that people say that
28:26
Speaker 3: they don't everyone agrees with. And then you get over
28:28
Speaker 3: it and you hug and you kiss on the cheeks
28:31
Speaker 3: and pat each other on the butt, and you go
28:34
Speaker 3: the next day and you move on. I mean, that's
28:36
Speaker 3: just the way it is. It's a long season and
28:38
Speaker 3: things happen and it's not a big deal. Let's try
28:41
Speaker 3: to stop trying to make something out of everything. Because
28:43
Speaker 3: of social media.
28:46
Speaker 2: I think, of anything, it's kind of fun that it
28:48
Speaker 2: gets caught on camera and you get to see how
28:50
Speaker 2: big leaguers interact. People want access, but if you want access,
28:52
Speaker 2: you have to be able to just accept access and
28:56
Speaker 2: not have to have this strong opinion. So yeah, I mean,
28:58
Speaker 2: the real person have fault here is a player's dad,
29:02
Speaker 2: chiming in and trying to call someone out. That's just
29:05
Speaker 2: not a good idea, and then that player could end
29:08
Speaker 2: up playing with that player long term. It's just it's stupid. Yeah,
29:11
Speaker 2: the family members generally need to zip it if you're.
29:15
Speaker 3: And by the way, what said Scott what Kratz said
29:18
Speaker 3: about the family section is I've had and I'm sure
29:21
Speaker 3: Krats said, to have conversations. I've had to have conversations
29:23
Speaker 3: with family members and I'm like, hey, you need to
29:27
Speaker 3: shut stf you because they're you can't say what you're Oh,
29:32
Speaker 3: he's pitching terrible, and he's doing that like you're sitting
29:35
Speaker 3: next to their mother or their wife or their kid,
29:38
Speaker 3: Like just sit there and cheer for the team and
29:41
Speaker 3: don't say a word like don't And trust me, we
29:44
Speaker 3: all know. I'm sure Kratz's wife. My wife has said
29:47
Speaker 3: things where hey, so and so was sitting there saying
29:50
Speaker 3: this or that, like, hey, just sit there, cheer when
29:53
Speaker 3: you're supposed to cheer. If you want to talk about
29:55
Speaker 3: some we'll talk about it when we're alone after the game,
29:58
Speaker 3: but not front of everyone else. Your mouth shut.
30:02
Speaker 2: We've probably all been there. It just gets magnified in baseball.
30:05
Speaker 2: I have family in like the Broadway world, and I've
30:08
Speaker 2: been with family members where they're like watching a show
30:10
Speaker 2: that one of my sisters is in and they're like, oh,
30:13
Speaker 2: this person's not as good as the replacement or whatever,
30:15
Speaker 2: and I'm like, they could be sitting right around us.
30:20
Speaker 3: I've had that conversation at high school games, big league games,
30:25
Speaker 3: volleyball games, everywhere, like, hey, you can't say that because
30:28
Speaker 3: the mom is sitting right in front of you, or
30:30
Speaker 3: the brother is sitting next to you, or the cousin
30:32
Speaker 3: or whoever someone that knows somebody is sitting you're in
30:35
Speaker 3: the family section. You just zip it.
30:37
Speaker 1: We just had this situation. Our high school team just
30:40
Speaker 1: beat a team, you know, much much larger school hadn't
30:45
Speaker 1: beaten them for whatever it was like seven years, I think.
30:50
Speaker 1: And it was a great game. It was a night game.
30:52
Speaker 1: It was community to night. And afterwards, like my dad
30:55
Speaker 1: comes up and he was like, oh man, what a
30:57
Speaker 1: great game. He's like, well was the last time we
30:59
Speaker 1: beat them? Oh that was so awesome. I'm like surrounded
31:03
Speaker 1: by the other teams like parents and like players and
31:07
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and I was like, well, we'll go
31:10
Speaker 1: have breakfast. Good to see you. Thanks for coming to
31:13
Speaker 1: the game. Like, but but they get they get routed up,
31:17
Speaker 1: and they get amped up and they're living it with you.
31:19
Speaker 1: So it It normally comes from a innocent place for
31:23
Speaker 1: the most part. But you gotta just like Ajay said,
31:26
Speaker 1: this one right, zip just zip it.

32:17
Speaker 2: we're going to show a tweet with a trend for
32:20
Speaker 2: the Mariners. The Yankees had themselves another nice series as
32:24
Speaker 2: they swept the Giants, and they did really good work
32:27
Speaker 2: against the Mariners. Here, you've got a Yankees team that
32:29
Speaker 2: is thriving with Cam Schlitzler and their pitching staff. Of course,
32:33
Speaker 2: the hitting like Ben Rice is providing some pop for
32:36
Speaker 2: a team that's five and one so far this year.
32:38
Speaker 2: The Mariners are three and four on the season. Can
32:41
Speaker 2: we throw that tweetback up there, just to show what's
32:44
Speaker 2: been wrong for the Mariners and whatever? I mean, they're
32:46
Speaker 2: a game off of five hundred. We're just getting started here.
32:48
Speaker 2: If anything, I'm looking at this Kratz and saying good
32:52
Speaker 2: sign for Seattle because these numbers are not going to
32:55
Speaker 2: last for long. They're two three four hitters. Game one
32:58
Speaker 2: over eleven, Game two over eleven, Game three to two
33:00
Speaker 2: for eleven, Game four one for twelve, Game five one
33:02
Speaker 2: for thirteen, Game six to two for eleven, Game seven
33:05
Speaker 2: ozh for nine. We're talking about Cal Riley, he's got
33:08
Speaker 2: a four fifty ops, Julio Redriguez who has a two
33:10
Speaker 2: to seventy seven ops, and Josh Naylor has a one
33:13
Speaker 2: to seventy ops. Hey, I would buy stock in all
33:16
Speaker 2: three of those players.
33:18
Speaker 1: Water levels out. You just gotta gave us some time,
33:22
Speaker 1: Charlie Manuel. Let you know, here's the thing that the Mariners.
33:26
Speaker 1: The issue the Mariners have always had. They've had a
33:29
Speaker 1: great top of the order. They've had great defense in
33:33
Speaker 1: Cal Raley, JP Crawford and Julio Rodriguez up the middle,
33:38
Speaker 1: they're there, They're pitching has been ridiculous. Rotation to creating
33:42
Speaker 1: bullpen guys. They've just never had any hitting outside of
33:46
Speaker 1: the top three, top four guys. So now that these
33:49
Speaker 1: guys are not hitting and they're three and three, three
33:52
Speaker 1: and four, three and four to start the season, this
33:56
Speaker 1: is good. This is how This is how good teams
34:00
Speaker 1: stay afloat when things aren't going well for your stars,
34:03
Speaker 1: because stars can carry your team. I think Julio Rodriguez
34:06
Speaker 1: had like a seven seven war or six war last year.
34:10
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what it was. Like Kyle Raley did
34:14
Speaker 1: should have been the MVP. Like those guys are gonna
34:17
Speaker 1: come around. Are they gonna have MVP seasons? I don't know.
34:20
Speaker 1: Julio Redrigez always starts slow. But when you can win
34:23
Speaker 1: games when these guys, when your team is normally not
34:26
Speaker 1: very deep, in your lineup and you're still winning some games.
34:30
Speaker 1: You're staying right at five hundred. That is a great sign.
34:33
Speaker 1: So Marinis fans should almost be happy.
34:37
Speaker 2: History last night as we had our first game ending
34:40
Speaker 2: on an ABS challenge overturned AJ. Apparently Samuel Basala, the
34:45
Speaker 2: young rookie catcher for the Orioles, wasn't going to do it,
34:48
Speaker 2: but he was like Besia was like me, we have
34:50
Speaker 2: two challenges left, just could end the game. It's close.
34:53
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use it. Smart.
34:56
Speaker 3: Why would you not?
34:57
Speaker 2: This is why would you know the pitch gets overturned? Yeah,
35:00
Speaker 2: having Carter thought had by the way.
35:02
Speaker 3: Nope, nope, s right, and by the way, think how
35:05
Speaker 3: much on that plate that ball is. If they actually
35:07
Speaker 3: do the three D strike.
35:08
Speaker 1: Zone, he's not gonna let that go.
35:14
Speaker 3: I'm never gonna let that go because in the rule
35:16
Speaker 3: book the strike zone is three D. So let's not
35:19
Speaker 3: pretend like all of a sudden, it's oo linear. It's not.
35:22
Speaker 3: It's three D. Like maybe the bars he to wear
35:25
Speaker 3: three D glasses. Whoever does the ABS needs to wear
35:27
Speaker 3: three D glasses and then they could be like time
35:30
Speaker 3: out ABS challenge. Everyone put on your glasses. Like when
35:32
Speaker 3: you go to a three D movie and then all
35:35
Speaker 3: of a sudden, on the big screen, the players like,
35:37
Speaker 3: hold up, hey, coach, give me the three D glasses.
35:40
Speaker 3: Everyone puts on their three D glasses and they show
35:41
Speaker 3: it on the big screen in three D.
35:43
Speaker 2: It sounds like someone who lives close to Disney.
35:46
Speaker 1: Yes, you live in an ai world getting your tickets
35:49
Speaker 1: in Boca Ratan, you know, taking the whole baseball team
35:53
Speaker 1: out to dinner about it. You can't. You can't have
35:56
Speaker 1: a three D. You can't have a three D. This
35:59
Speaker 1: wouldn't have affected it. It still would have been a strike.
36:02
Speaker 1: These are the ones that I love it. I love
36:04
Speaker 1: I mean, are we going to have a playoff game
36:07
Speaker 1: ending on an ABS challenge? Maybe? But I'd rather see
36:11
Speaker 1: a playoff game not end because they challenge and then
36:16
Speaker 1: we get more drama. Like that's that's it for me,
36:19
Speaker 1: Like I'm here for that.
36:22
Speaker 2: Besio, also twenty one years old, hit a home run
36:25
Speaker 2: his first of the season in that game, a win
36:28
Speaker 2: for the Orioles par He's a special talent. They look
36:31
Speaker 2: like they've got something good there.
36:33
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be the catcher? Though? Is he gonna
36:35
Speaker 3: be the catcher? The DH that's the problem.
36:37
Speaker 2: Catcher ish the catcher ish.
36:39
Speaker 3: Ish because they have a first baseman, y'all, so we
36:41
Speaker 3: can't go to first base.
36:43
Speaker 2: No, I did catcher ish well, dh.
36:47
Speaker 3: That was the thing I were worried about with him, though,
36:49
Speaker 3: is could he catch? I mean what I've seen, he's okay.
36:52
Speaker 3: But if you mash. Yeah, yeah, listen, here's the thing.
36:56
Speaker 3: If you mash, guess what, they'll find a place for you,
36:58
Speaker 3: he mashes.
37:00
Speaker 1: I would never I would never call prospect up to
37:03
Speaker 1: not play his primary position. But that dude, his primary
37:07
Speaker 1: position right now is hitting. He can he can ding
37:11
Speaker 1: a baseball.
37:13
Speaker 2: Hey, we're back. Can we do the Mets tweet here?
37:16
Speaker 2: Because we'll probably only have time for one topic in
37:19
Speaker 2: hot corner room we come back. Uh, Lindor made a
37:23
Speaker 2: couple of mistakes yesterday, guys. He forgot the outs in
37:26
Speaker 2: the first and then was picked off, although Mendy took
37:30
Speaker 2: the blame for the pickoff, saying that he was going
37:33
Speaker 2: to run there, although he still looked pretty frozen to me. Yeah,
37:37
Speaker 2: Mendy did postgame crats say like, oh no, I'm I'm
37:40
Speaker 2: taking the blame on that one. He was going to run.
37:43
Speaker 3: He was like like it wasn't even looking. He got
37:48
Speaker 3: picked off and did if you move, I mean, stuff happens.
37:52
Speaker 3: I'll say this stuff happens. It was a rough first inning.
37:56
Speaker 3: That was all pretty. It was all the first.
37:57
Speaker 2: Inning though, now the other part was in an inning
38:01
Speaker 2: where the inning when Soda hit the homer and so
38:04
Speaker 2: different than the game. Yeah, because they lost by a run.
38:06
Speaker 3: It's such a small Sables, Anthony Tacoma, We love you.
38:09
Speaker 1: Stop it.
38:09
Speaker 3: It's been what six games. Let's let's let's calm down.
38:13
Speaker 2: The risks, the runners in scoring position, he was planting out,
38:16
Speaker 2: how much chasing they're doing.
38:18
Speaker 3: So in six games? It's six games? Six games? Are
38:21
Speaker 3: we really worried about Francisco Lindoor? Oh no, stop, no,
38:26
Speaker 3: but you can't.
38:27
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about either.
38:29
Speaker 3: Raise your hand if you've got how many outs are? Okay?
38:34
Speaker 3: Thank you? Raise your hand? Got picked off?
38:37
Speaker 1: You can't, you you can't.
38:38
Speaker 3: You can't have those type you never got picked off?
38:41
Speaker 1: Picked off?
38:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone's picked everyone's been picked off. Everyone's forgot the
38:47
Speaker 3: outs there are. Let's let's just everybody take a deep
38:49
Speaker 3: breath here. Everyone again, social media is looking for something
38:52
Speaker 3: to happen. Let's everyone stop.
38:54
Speaker 1: Stop, they're not six, they're not they're not wrong. You
38:58
Speaker 1: need to have You need to be called out when
39:01
Speaker 1: guys make mistakes that are mental mistakes. In my opinion,
39:06
Speaker 1: those are mental mistakes. I could care less that they're
39:09
Speaker 1: hitting one to eighty with runners in scoring position, or
39:12
Speaker 1: they're chasing a ton, I could care less. That's a
39:15
Speaker 1: small sample size. I need you to lock in on
39:19
Speaker 1: a getaway day game, just the same as you're locking
39:22
Speaker 1: in for the ESPN Sunday Night game. That's all I'm saying.
39:26
Speaker 1: You gotta lock in. That's okay to be called out for.
39:29
Speaker 2: For BETMGM players, you'll get in any sport Odds Boost

Speaker 2: bonus dollars. Gambling problem or concern, there's help called one
39:46
Speaker 2: eight hundred gambler. Let us slap cratsats. Some people have
40:01
Speaker 2: been wondering what you have today.
40:03
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna wear another Pirates hat tomorrow. Me and
40:06
Speaker 1: Connor Griffin, both super prospects that got called up for
40:10
Speaker 1: the Pirates. I mean J. J. Cooper said it most
40:13
Speaker 1: anticipated call up since Steven Strasburg, which I remember huge. Ironically,
40:19
Speaker 1: he got called up against the Pirates who couldn't hit
40:23
Speaker 1: worth a lick. I was on. I wasn't on that
40:26
Speaker 1: exact team. I got called up later, but yes, I.
40:30
Speaker 3: Got a second start. I got Strassburg second start in Washington.
40:35
Speaker 3: I was there for the second start.
40:37
Speaker 1: And then that's called him up because the Pirates were
40:40
Speaker 1: brutes mcgoots and they wanted a soft landing for him,
40:42
Speaker 1: and he proved it. And here we go.
40:46
Speaker 2: Okay, let's run this last thing we have.
40:52
Speaker 3: On what you got man festival. Ain't no way, ain't
40:57
Speaker 3: no way, first guest, ain't no way.
41:01
Speaker 2: That was Jeremy Pain. You're grabbing the mic from Chandler
41:03
Speaker 2: Rome to be like, how does it feel to be
41:04
Speaker 2: the second fastest player on the team. I thought that
41:06
Speaker 2: was funny from the other day. It's good stuff.
41:11
Speaker 3: I always knew. I always knew what it was like
41:13
Speaker 3: to be the second fastest on every team.
41:16
Speaker 2: You wanted to be first, but you were okay with second, right,
41:19
Speaker 2: that's the real ye.
41:21
Speaker 3: Some of the teams I played on had really fast
41:23
Speaker 3: guys and I was the second fastest, so I felt
41:25
Speaker 3: okay about myself.
41:26
Speaker 1: You were totally fine. Would not be in the fastest.
41:29
Speaker 3: Because if you're fast and they expect you to steal bases,
41:31
Speaker 3: and I.
41:31
Speaker 1: Didn't want to do that, I'd be exhausting because.
41:34
Speaker 3: My war would have gone through the roof then and
41:36
Speaker 3: then they would actually man, it would have been crazy. Yeah,
41:40
Speaker 3: got paid so much? Have I just been had more
41:42
Speaker 3: stolen bases?
41:43
Speaker 1: You could have paid for somebody else's meal and not
41:45
Speaker 1: just your son's. Nope baseball team and nope parking ticket.
