Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here's one thing. If you're stealing pitches now with PitchCom
- 0:04Speaker 1: then you ain't getting them from the catcher. You're getting
- 0:06Speaker 1: them from the pitcher. If you're getting.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Them, hey, you know, only every once in a while
- 0:14Speaker 2: do we reply to people that sends nice notes, And
- 0:18Speaker 2: by nice, I mean not that nice.
- 0:20Speaker 3: This one's just okay though. So I was gonna bring
- 0:22Speaker 3: it up because I thought it was funny based on
- 0:25Speaker 3: the show last week. So Rich on YouTube on Friday
- 0:30Speaker 3: commented on our show ninety nine k subs, by the way,
- 0:33Speaker 3: almost got one hundred k. Rich said they should call
- 0:37Speaker 3: this the East Coast West Coast Show. I'm like, uh,
- 0:42Speaker 3: jazz Chisholm got in trouble, Rich, So we're gonna talk
- 0:46Speaker 3: about that. On Friday, Otani was announced would be missing
- 0:52Speaker 3: months still with the pitching issue, which we waited an
- 0:54Speaker 3: hour into the show. It did reply. We have mister
- 0:58Speaker 3: Brewer Ariocrats every day. Who was our big guest on Friday,
- 1:03Speaker 3: a player who we hadn't had on before. And what
- 1:05Speaker 3: team does he played for?
- 1:06Speaker 4: Eric Jackson Curio who plays in the smallest market in
- 1:11Speaker 4: the middle of the country.
- 1:14Speaker 3: Okay, just checking.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Maybe he didn't.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Understand Spanish maybe he didn't understand Spanish, so he didn't
- 1:21Speaker 4: he didn't hear that part of the interview.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Maybe glace for him.
- 1:26Speaker 3: Okay, well then I'm going to put a lot of
- 1:28Speaker 3: rizino on the case. And you do not want the
- 1:31Speaker 3: wrath of you don't. No, she crushed it on the
- 1:36Speaker 3: interpreting missterio, combo, go for it.
- 1:40Speaker 4: A lot of Spanish is like book, textbook, perfect, like
- 1:46Speaker 4: comost a stash. It's perfect, perfect Spanish.
- 1:53Speaker 3: You know how I describe it. If you only know
- 1:55Speaker 3: a little bit, you can actually get some words there
- 1:59Speaker 3: because she speaks slow enough that I can grab it.
- 2:01Speaker 3: So for me it helps a ton. Right, we don't
- 2:05Speaker 3: know a ton of Spanish, but I can catch some words,
- 2:08Speaker 3: so it helped. All right, we got a lot to
- 2:10Speaker 3: cover today, so let's.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Charge charge about.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Jared Kelnick pimped a single because he was out at
- 2:22Speaker 3: second He was admiring a ball that did not end
- 2:26Speaker 3: up leaving the yard. It doesn't get in trouble for it.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Ronald Cuna Jr. Has gotten in trouble for a similar
- 2:35Speaker 3: thing years back, So we can trow the David O'Brien
- 2:40Speaker 3: tweet first, the clenty script that should have been addressed
- 2:43Speaker 3: by Brave's manager Brian Sniker, rather than dismissed when he
- 2:46Speaker 3: was asked about it postgame. Here it is for Kelnick,
- 2:50Speaker 3: by the way, huge moment in the game three to three,
- 2:54Speaker 3: bottom six. He's toast at second right in front of
- 2:59Speaker 3: the Braves. Dugout too, guys. He's running around because Snith's nice.
- 3:03Speaker 3: He's really laid back, but it's right in front of him.
- 3:06Speaker 3: And he said he missed it. He said he didn't
- 3:08Speaker 3: see it, and then even the next day he hadn't
- 3:10Speaker 3: caught it. He's like, what do you want me to do?
- 3:12Speaker 3: They're like, shouldn't you talk to him? Like you've talked
- 3:14Speaker 3: to other people about it. So Kuna chimed in and
- 3:17Speaker 3: was like, if it were me, they would take me
- 3:19Speaker 3: out of the game. He rolled out that tweet and
- 3:21Speaker 3: then deleted it.
- 3:23Speaker 1: This way, you shouldn't tweet. They shouldn't tweet. Turn a
- 3:26Speaker 1: game right after because we saw justism. He got in trouble,
- 3:30Speaker 1: he got suspended.
- 3:31Speaker 3: We know how Ronald.
- 3:32Speaker 1: I mean, I take this as kind of I hope
- 3:34Speaker 1: it's a joke. Ronald. I think you're awesome player, but
- 3:37Speaker 1: I don't know if it was right. Why he deleted.
- 3:41Speaker 3: The team might have said to take it down, okay.
- 3:43Speaker 1: But then he was the wrong thing to tweet at
- 3:44Speaker 1: the wrong time. I'm sorry, Listen, he just can't I
- 3:47Speaker 1: get it. Yes, he was taken out, but there's also I.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Don't know, I don't know, Like, doesn't he have a point?
- 3:55Speaker 1: Yeah, but just because you have a point doesn't make
- 3:58Speaker 1: it the right thing to do, right, trust me. I
- 3:59Speaker 1: have hard enough time with that. I have lots of
- 4:02Speaker 1: points and every time like, this is not the right thing. Like,
- 4:05Speaker 1: trust me. On Twitter especially or Instagram, when people write
- 4:08Speaker 1: stuff to you, there's a lot of times where I
- 4:10Speaker 1: want to be like, I'm gonna make a point, but
- 4:12Speaker 1: then I'm gonna have to delete it later because the
- 4:13Speaker 1: guy's probably gonna start crying when I go after him.
- 4:16Speaker 1: So I get it. I do. Listen. I've been thrown
- 4:20Speaker 1: out thinking the ball is gone and it doesn't leave,
- 4:22Speaker 1: and you get thrown out a second, you feel awful
- 4:24Speaker 1: first of all. Right, So I don't know. I mean,
- 4:27Speaker 1: I think I think this is a lot to do
- 4:29Speaker 1: about a guy that's injured, and maybe he's bored and
- 4:32Speaker 1: he's watching he's watching the game. I'll give him that.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I don't know, I just wish you wouldn't have done it.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Yeah, but they pulled him.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Wow, Jared Duran just dropped the fly ball right to
- 4:41Speaker 1: him that it was really bad.
- 4:43Speaker 3: They pulled him though in twenty nineteen, although then in
- 4:45Speaker 3: the playoffs he did a similar thing and they didn't.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Pull him on twenty ninety was like his first year, right, Yeah,
- 4:51Speaker 1: so they were sending him a message early. Basically, they
- 4:54Speaker 1: were trying to send Jarreck. Kelly has been around long enough.
- 4:57Speaker 1: He knows he screwed up, and I mean, I know
- 4:59Speaker 1: Alcony just knows he he screwed up too. But I
- 5:02Speaker 1: think that that one he did it in twenty nineteen
- 5:04Speaker 1: was more of a Brian Sticker scene. We don't play
- 5:07Speaker 1: like that, and when he was a young kid, and
- 5:09Speaker 1: Jared Kolnick has been around a little bit. Not that
- 5:11Speaker 1: there should be a double standard, but if you took
- 5:13Speaker 1: out every guy that doesn't run out of ball cross,
- 5:15Speaker 1: you'd have half the team sitting sitting on the bench.
- 5:18Speaker 4: I mean, the whole NAT's Pirates game that I went to,
- 5:21Speaker 4: you would have just had a bunch of dudes. It's
- 5:23Speaker 4: just like you would have just been playing like six
- 5:25Speaker 4: on six backyard baseball something like that. Listen, like, should
- 5:31Speaker 4: he have taken him out? I don't think so. Should
- 5:35Speaker 4: Ronald have tweeted it? You go into the fat, You
- 5:39Speaker 4: go into like the feeling of Ronald thinking, well, other
- 5:43Speaker 4: guys aren't being treated the same way I was treated
- 5:45Speaker 4: six years ago, Like that was the last time that
- 5:48Speaker 4: I heard was twenty nineteen that they pulled him out
- 5:52Speaker 4: for not running. And I also delved into a little
- 5:55Speaker 4: bit more with people who know and we're with the
- 5:57Speaker 4: organization at that time. It wasn't the time. So repeat offenders, Yes,
- 6:04Speaker 4: they're treated differently. But Snit's snitt has I have never
- 6:09Speaker 4: once heard Snit be considered a you know, a manager's manager.
- 6:15Speaker 4: He's a player's manager. He has his players back all
- 6:19Speaker 4: the time. How he handled this was awesome. How Kelnick
- 6:24Speaker 4: handled How you pick the ball in in Atlanta that
- 6:29Speaker 4: doesn't go out, I'm not sure because that plays as
- 6:31Speaker 4: a launching pad. But I heard he went right into
- 6:35Speaker 4: his office and apologized afterwards. So you sit there and
- 6:38Speaker 4: you go Snit doesn't have to say, oh, yeah, you know,
- 6:41Speaker 4: I should have done that. Like he's in that room
- 6:45Speaker 4: with the players all the time. Akunya, that's tough. That's tough.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Hopefully it's not. Hopefully it's not something that continues to linger,
- 6:55Speaker 4: because clearly he remembered it from twenty nineteen, like that
- 6:59Speaker 4: is a long time ago, and he was very young
- 7:02Speaker 4: at that point.
- 7:04Speaker 3: Ken pointed out in his story how Snith has sat
- 7:07Speaker 3: other players in the past, Ken in the athletics and all.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Sin has done this every man. Matt Williams did it
- 7:13Speaker 1: to Bryce Harper, remember, yeah, yeah, and he basically caused
- 7:16Speaker 1: Matt Williams's job. Matt Williams got fired shortly after this,
- 7:18Speaker 1: So I think there's a there's definitely a precedent that
- 7:24Speaker 1: has been set. But listen, one thing about Snit Snit
- 7:27Speaker 1: got just gets his players back so much. I mean,
- 7:30Speaker 1: I played for Snitt and I was terrible, and Stick
- 7:32Speaker 1: covered for me a lot. But and that's not a thing.
- 7:35Speaker 1: But I don't know, look at the players that get
- 7:37Speaker 1: bench for not running balls out, the ones I just named,
- 7:40Speaker 1: Akunya and Harper, what do they have in common MVP's
- 7:42Speaker 1: Hall of Fame type talent. Not a knock on Jared Keelnick.
- 7:45Speaker 1: But some guys sometimes crouch and you don't know this.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Superstars are guys. They think are superstars are treated a
- 7:51Speaker 1: little bit differently? Why because they want to get more
- 7:53Speaker 1: out of them, right, so he snitt wants more. Remember
- 7:57Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman used to get on Acuona all the time
- 7:59Speaker 1: because he's like, there's more in there, and Acuna hated
- 8:02Speaker 1: Freddy for it because Freddy would get on it. Right,
- 8:04Speaker 1: There's certain players that you see that you know are
- 8:06Speaker 1: going to be better and can be better if they're
- 8:09Speaker 1: just better in doing things, and that's that sucks, but
- 8:14Speaker 1: that's the way life is sometimes.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Can I also offer where Clnick's at. I mean, he's struggling.
- 8:20Speaker 3: He has struggled to really find himself in the big
- 8:22Speaker 3: league so far. So the ceiling is not even close
- 8:26Speaker 3: to the same as it is with Acunya. And do
- 8:27Speaker 3: you have to maybe be a little careful, yes, with
- 8:31Speaker 3: someone like that who needs some confidence not to be
- 8:34Speaker 3: kicked down.
- 8:35Speaker 4: Right now, I think we're really I think we're really
- 8:37Speaker 4: delving into like the psyche of the player. When you
- 8:41Speaker 4: say something like that, I would delve into the psyche
- 8:43Speaker 4: of the twenty at the time when Acunya got benched,
- 8:47Speaker 4: the twenty four other guys on the roster. If you
- 8:50Speaker 4: allow the superstar to do that. How does that change
- 8:55Speaker 4: how other guys perceive how they're supposed to play. Look
- 8:58Speaker 4: at the Dodgers, like all superstars set a certain precedent.
- 9:02Speaker 4: They want to be out there one hundred and sixty
- 9:04Speaker 4: two games. The president set with your with your superstar.
- 9:08Speaker 4: If he's perceived as dogging it and not playing hard,
- 9:14Speaker 4: there's gonna be other dudes that come up, other young
- 9:16Speaker 4: guys that come up, and.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Ronald don't had to run, So why would.
- 9:21Speaker 2: I run.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Now? Ender Incrte was pulled in a game for lack
- 9:26Speaker 3: of hustle in twenty eighteen by Smit Snitt Marcel Azuna,
- 9:30Speaker 3: a similar situation to Kalinnick and Akunya in June of
- 9:34Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. I don't know. I feel like that's
- 9:36Speaker 3: what I'm saying.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Snid has done this before.
- 9:38Speaker 3: It's interested.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Maybe this is the first time. Yeah, I don't I'm
- 9:42Speaker 1: not instant. Said he didn't see it, So I have
- 9:44Speaker 1: to take him out of his words, and it's always
- 9:45Speaker 1: been honest with me. I have to take his word
- 9:47Speaker 1: that he didn't see it. Maybe he didn't see it.
- 9:49Speaker 3: That part, I'm like, what well?
- 9:51Speaker 1: He also that's also a way to cover for your guy.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's also.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Trying to make less out of it. And now I
- 9:55Speaker 1: don't know that he knew about the Akunya tweet at
- 9:59Speaker 1: the time.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Well, no, he did. Once it happen, then you know
- 10:02Speaker 3: he was informed about it. But I don't know. He
- 10:06Speaker 3: clearly didn't think it was going to become a big thing.
- 10:08Speaker 1: Well it became a big It wouldn't have been a
- 10:10Speaker 1: big thing until a coun you tweeted. If he wanted
- 10:12Speaker 1: to tweet, it wouldn't been.
- 10:13Speaker 3: It's nothing, it's nothing.
- 10:14Speaker 1: It's not even mentioned. Yeah, because the brain didn't the
- 10:16Speaker 1: Braves win the game.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Braves swept the Twins this weekend. Let's not overlook the
- 10:21Speaker 3: Atlanta Braves are back, baby there, climbing back into Amocrats's
- 10:25Speaker 3: power rankings later this week.
- 10:27Speaker 1: You're doing those on Friday.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Right, probably perfect. I'm not here Friday either, perfect Hammer territory,
- 10:33Speaker 3: by the way, covering the Braves on a daily basis.
- 10:35Speaker 3: But the Braves swept the Twins. They're supposed to be happy.
- 10:38Speaker 1: They probably still are.
- 10:39Speaker 3: Okay, when you're in the clubhouse right now, do you
- 10:43Speaker 3: really look into this much, care much about this? Do
- 10:45Speaker 3: you even think that.
- 10:46Speaker 1: It's it couldn't even in Atlanta. No, he's not with
- 10:50Speaker 1: the team, and nobody cares.
- 10:51Speaker 3: No one cares.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Right, it's a nothing, it's it's it's only something in
- 10:54Speaker 1: the media, that's it, because everyone's like, it's just Ronald
- 10:57Speaker 1: being dumb, Like, right, Carrot's like what and today you
- 11:01Speaker 1: coming to the ballpark, you forget, you can completely forgot
- 11:03Speaker 1: that it even happened. But the media, of course is
- 11:05Speaker 1: now gonna have to ask Olsen and all these other
- 11:08Speaker 1: guys about it. And that's why it's a thing. But
- 11:10Speaker 1: if again, if he didn't tweet, nobody would have Nobody
- 11:12Speaker 1: would have said a freaking word about this, because you
- 11:14Speaker 1: know why they win. You know what cures everything's.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Got in the major leagues heard winning, Winning cures everything
- 11:20Speaker 3: you can do.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You can act like complete jackass, do whatever you want.
- 11:23Speaker 1: But if you hit forty homers a year and driving
- 11:24Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty and you help your team win
- 11:27Speaker 1: more games, guess what you get away with a little
- 11:29Speaker 1: bit more. If you're the guy struggling at one to
- 11:31Speaker 1: eighty and not doing a lot and your team ain't winning,
- 11:33Speaker 1: guess who they point at. They got a hitting one eighty.
- 11:36Speaker 3: Yep, that's how it works. I do have one more so,
- 11:39Speaker 3: I've known Snip for years too. I feel like the
- 11:41Speaker 3: reviews are always good from the team. He is sixty
- 11:44Speaker 3: nine years old, he's been with the organization, Giggy, he's
- 11:47Speaker 3: been with the organization for forty nine years. Right, he
- 11:52Speaker 3: is super respected. He's had Kunya's back in the past
- 11:56Speaker 3: when the Marlins kept throwing at him. Everybody wanted Marcel
- 12:00Speaker 3: Azuna off that team. You're lying if in April of
- 12:03Speaker 3: whatever year that was, you thought he should still be there.
- 12:05Speaker 3: Everyone was like, this dude has problems and he's trash
- 12:08Speaker 3: on the field. After six weeks or whatever it was,
- 12:10Speaker 3: and Snit stayed with him. So Snith's made some good
- 12:13Speaker 3: calls and he led his team to a World Series
- 12:15Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one. The amount of Braves fans that
- 12:18Speaker 3: I saw on social media and maybe they're fake accounts
- 12:20Speaker 3: that were like, we got to get him out, I'm like,
- 12:22Speaker 3: shut up.
- 12:23Speaker 1: He said nothing but win, dare you? Except for his
- 12:26Speaker 1: first year, but other now he's done nothing but win. Yes,
- 12:29Speaker 1: when he's been given the talent to win, he's won.
- 12:31Speaker 1: That's it.
- 12:32Speaker 3: That's it. So Yeah, the.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Players love him. Talk to any player that played for
- 12:35Speaker 1: him any point, they love him and.
- 12:37Speaker 3: He'll call kun you probably already did and say I
- 12:39Speaker 3: love you, dude, You're a superstar. I treat you differently
- 12:42Speaker 3: in a good way and a bad way, but mostly
- 12:44Speaker 3: in a good way because I expect the world out
- 12:46Speaker 3: of you. And I can't wait for you to get
- 12:47Speaker 3: a three hundred million dollar contract after this one hundred
- 12:49Speaker 3: that you're not thrilled about. But that's not me. But
- 12:52Speaker 3: he's gonna come back in a few weeks. He's going
- 12:53Speaker 3: to be a stud for them, and the Braves are
- 12:55Speaker 3: going to make the playoffs. Alana, we love our pupps dearly,

- 14:01Speaker 3: Jose Burrios versus Cal Raleigh is the beef that you
- 14:04Speaker 3: didn't know you needed. But it was kind of interesting
- 14:07Speaker 3: this weekend. They thought that Cal was delivering signs to
- 14:11Speaker 3: hitters and Cal said no, and benches friendly. Hello's whatever
- 14:18Speaker 3: you want to call it. I don't want to say cleared.
- 14:21Speaker 3: So here's what Kyl was doing, making some moves as
- 14:24Speaker 3: pitches were coming through, and some people thought they were
- 14:26Speaker 3: catching certain things. The funny thing is, whatever they were
- 14:30Speaker 3: doing if they were doing something, none of it worked, Okay,
- 14:34Speaker 3: Rowdy struck out on four pitches, and Rowdy had a
- 14:36Speaker 3: huge weekend, so it wasn't from Cal. Dylan Moore popped
- 14:41Speaker 3: out one pitch later, and then later when Cal doubled
- 14:43Speaker 3: after they had gotten into it. Next batter whoever it was,
- 14:48Speaker 3: struck out on four pitches. That was it. So they
- 14:50Speaker 3: didn't get anything out of it. Let's start with krats.
- 14:54Speaker 3: Do you think he was stealing any signs? And also
- 14:57Speaker 3: who really cares because you're allowed to do this.
- 15:01Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't understand why this is still like why
- 15:05Speaker 4: we're still pissed about this, Like we've been able to
- 15:07Speaker 4: hide it whatever way we can hide it if you're
- 15:11Speaker 4: out at second now, like everything's fair game. And I
- 15:16Speaker 4: read something that Toronto Ryder was saying, Jose does some
- 15:21Speaker 4: of the best Jose Barriers does some of the best
- 15:24Speaker 4: hiding of the pitches, so he must have had them
- 15:27Speaker 4: in another way. There's a billion other ways that you
- 15:30Speaker 4: can figure it out, even if before he gets it
- 15:33Speaker 4: into his glove. The way that Alejandra Kirk sets up
- 15:36Speaker 4: the way that Alejandra Kirk sets up late early slides
- 15:41Speaker 4: in slides away. Whatever it is, like you can relay
- 15:46Speaker 4: that stuff that is helpful, but it clearly didn't happen.
- 15:49Speaker 1: In the time. But I love this. I love it.
- 15:52Speaker 4: They're locked in, they're afraid someone else has taken their signs.
- 15:56Speaker 4: That means they care about the game.
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. All the years I played, there
- 16:03Speaker 1: was one team that was accused of stealing signs more
- 16:04Speaker 1: than anyone. And it wasn't the Mariners. It was the
- 16:10Speaker 1: Blue Jays. We had to go there every time we
- 16:12Speaker 1: went to Toronto before PitchCom We had to do multiple
- 16:15Speaker 1: signs change him every inning because there was a dude
- 16:18Speaker 1: in center field. And they're gonna deny it, but there
- 16:20Speaker 1: was a dude standing up and sitting down on certain
- 16:23Speaker 1: pitches that we caught as the White Sox. We caught him,
- 16:27Speaker 1: ask caught him with a little he had like a little.
- 16:30Speaker 1: We sent up our freaking Rick hom We sent up
- 16:32Speaker 1: rick on On to look at him.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Rick did.
- 16:34Speaker 1: Matt Thornton sat like this, his back to home plate
- 16:39Speaker 1: like this in the bullpen and crass. The bullpens are
- 16:41Speaker 1: way up high, and he only looked at this one
- 16:43Speaker 1: guy in a white jacket and he stood up and
- 16:46Speaker 1: sat down. He called every pitch, He's like breaking ball, fastball,
- 16:49Speaker 1: every pitch and he wasn't even looking at the field.
- 16:51Speaker 1: He did it for a whole inning. Wow, Yeah, did.
- 16:55Speaker 3: You guys tell on him?
- 16:56Speaker 1: What were we gonna do?
- 16:57Speaker 6: We do?
- 16:58Speaker 1: Rick onm He went up there and there was a dude.
- 17:01Speaker 1: He had like a little camera and he would sit
- 17:03Speaker 1: up and rick On went up to him and said
- 17:05Speaker 1: some the guy left. From that moment on, we freaking
- 17:08Speaker 1: multiple signs every inning, switched it signs every inning the
- 17:13Speaker 1: whole time in Toronto. Theras Krats played for the Blue Jays,
- 17:16Speaker 1: So he can't say nothing.
- 17:18Speaker 4: I can say whatever I wanted. I was there for
- 17:21Speaker 4: I don't know how long three months, dude, that is.
- 17:25Speaker 4: That accusation is one of many against him.
- 17:30Speaker 1: Listen, I I don't believe it either, but I'm telling
- 17:32Speaker 1: you that that one I saw my own eyes. I
- 17:35Speaker 1: was catching and I heard about it, and I could
- 17:37Speaker 1: see the guy and then he went up there and
- 17:40Speaker 1: he was gone. And I'm again I'm just saying, how
- 17:44Speaker 1: about how about this one? How about this one in Chicago.
- 17:49Speaker 4: With Chris Sale and uh Victor Victor Martinez.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Oh the bullpen?
- 17:59Speaker 4: That was? That was that was Mick bill Meyer with
- 18:02Speaker 4: the Phillies in Colorado. He got in trouble for having binoculars.
- 18:06Speaker 4: There's always there's always something. There's always something like that,
- 18:11Speaker 4: the one with the white the white T shirt or
- 18:13Speaker 4: the white jacket.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Guy.
- 18:14Speaker 4: I heard about that before I got to the Blue Jays.
- 18:18Speaker 4: I think that was because I think that probably would
- 18:20Speaker 4: have been when I was there as a minor leaguer.
- 18:22Speaker 4: So we heard about it in the minor leagues, and
- 18:25Speaker 4: Vernon Wells is like no chance. And then when Jose
- 18:28Speaker 4: Bautista was there, people were blaming Jose for stuff because Jose,
- 18:32Speaker 4: you know, had his career before and then he went
- 18:35Speaker 4: to then he went to the Blue Jays and he
- 18:39Speaker 4: had an unbelievable career for those years.
- 18:43Speaker 1: You know.
- 18:43Speaker 4: The one thing that people forget is maybe that was happening.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't. I'm not saying it was or it wasn't, but.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Exactly what cal Raley was doing, if he was sending
- 18:53Speaker 4: signs in, guys were doing that forever. So what you
- 18:56Speaker 4: need to start doing is looking up, Okay, so and
- 18:59Speaker 4: so's on second base, what is his batting average? When
- 19:02Speaker 4: someone when this person's on second base and that's when
- 19:05Speaker 4: you start getting the correlation of dudes that are that
- 19:08Speaker 4: are sending signs in. If the Mariners are that good
- 19:11Speaker 4: at sending signs in, they ain't working right now. They
- 19:15Speaker 4: need to figure something else out. And in this case,
- 19:19Speaker 4: I don't think he was sending anything in because big
- 19:22Speaker 4: league hitters that know what's coming usually do some good damage,
- 19:27Speaker 4: or they chase a pitch that is like way off
- 19:30Speaker 4: the plate. They're rarely off balance.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Listen again again, I don't know, but I'm just telling
- 19:37Speaker 1: you what I was told and what I saw, and
- 19:39Speaker 1: that's it. In Toronto, they denied it. I know they
- 19:42Speaker 1: denied it. Whatever. Great they That's why we fought back
- 19:45Speaker 1: with changing signs every inning. Right, it's fine. Here's my thing.
- 19:48Speaker 1: If you're stealing pitches now with Pitchcolm, then you ain't
- 19:52Speaker 1: getting them from the catcher unless he sets up a
- 19:54Speaker 1: certain way, you're getting them from the pitcher. If you're
- 19:56Speaker 1: getting them in the video, I saw Calrawly's just standing there,
- 19:59Speaker 1: so I don't, oh, listen there was I know they're hitting.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Coach Kevin Sitzer was always big on trying to get
- 20:04Speaker 1: signed and trying to re lamb when I played for him.
- 20:07Speaker 1: But listen, I don't know how you get him now
- 20:10Speaker 1: unless you can see it in your glove or you
- 20:11Speaker 1: do what Sevorino was doing. When you look the third right,
- 20:14Speaker 1: there has to be a tip somewhere.
- 20:16Speaker 3: The pitcher might have had a catcher or the catcher.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Now listen, we used to get pictures off catchers too, now, right,
- 20:21Speaker 1: because they would set up different ways for different pitches,
- 20:23Speaker 1: and you could have a base coach do something now,
- 20:27Speaker 1: I mean that was the thing too, So there was
- 20:28Speaker 1: always people looking for stuff, right, But maybe Brios was tipping.
- 20:32Speaker 1: I don't know. Again, I don't know what was going on,
- 20:34Speaker 1: but I know Cal rawl every time he goes Toronto.
- 20:36Speaker 1: It's like seven homers. So maybe they need to try
- 20:38Speaker 1: to do something different with him. That dude like he
- 20:40Speaker 1: should play for the Blue Jays. I'm serious, like the
- 20:43Speaker 1: I mean, he crosses him every time.
- 20:45Speaker 3: Nine homers and now he's got a bash brother and
- 20:48Speaker 3: Braddy Tilz had a weekend.
- 20:50Speaker 1: Man, this was his revenge weekend. It was he tried
- 20:53Speaker 1: to take that dude out at first.
- 20:55Speaker 3: We can show that. So they won two out of three.
- 20:56Speaker 3: They won four or fives by the way, and right
- 20:59Speaker 3: Toils had a Grand Slam in that game where the
- 21:03Speaker 3: two sides got a little friendlier, and then he also
- 21:06Speaker 3: hit a two run homer yesterday. He's on fire right now,
- 21:09Speaker 3: our boy Roddy, but he truck sticked what's his name, Rodin?
- 21:15Speaker 3: I'm forgetting the first name, yep Alan.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Did he kick his helmet when he went by?
- 21:20Speaker 3: Two kick his helmet, dagged him, walked away and didn't
- 21:27Speaker 3: say anything. Nothing right, So there's the truck stick with
- 21:32Speaker 3: him kind of flexing the back getting the hit. Rodin
- 21:38Speaker 3: tested himself out because obviously we'll get into this later.
- 21:40Speaker 3: But our eyes had a scary collision faced a shoulder,
- 21:45Speaker 3: but they ran right to him. It's like, are you okay? Whatever?
- 21:48Speaker 3: Rowdy was just like who's up next?
- 21:52Speaker 1: First of all, I texted Rowdy right after and I
- 21:53Speaker 1: told him as lucky it wasn't me. What do you say,
- 21:56Speaker 1: look look at you or something. I'm like, dude, you
- 21:58Speaker 1: would have been on the il.
- 22:00Speaker 3: For the rest of Rowdy's bigger than you.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Though.
- 22:02Speaker 3: I'm not saying for like a fight, but just if
- 22:04Speaker 3: you guys both collide.
- 22:05Speaker 1: If I'm going full speed and I hit Rowdy, He's
- 22:08Speaker 1: going down. Okay, let's just say that now I'm not
- 22:12Speaker 1: going down like that.
- 22:13Speaker 3: I probably know you've got I want to see it
- 22:16Speaker 3: on mister Roden ask.
- 22:17Speaker 1: There's a guy you can ask. His name is Michael Barrett.
- 22:19Speaker 1: He got real mad. Then he swung at me. I
- 22:21Speaker 1: mean anyway, he didn't stay still where and I hit him?
- 22:24Speaker 1: I want to. I want to see it. Rowdy's bigger
- 22:26Speaker 1: than Rowdy's bigger than Michael. Rowdy's like a bowling pin,
- 22:31Speaker 1: upside down bowling pin. Though, all right, you just gotta
- 22:33Speaker 1: hit him low, take him low, sweep the leg.
- 22:35Speaker 3: Johnny Roddy's listed six four two seventy. Okay, what are
- 22:44Speaker 3: you listed? Do you know what you're listing on baseball?
- 22:46Speaker 1: Probably six three two fifty now that which is not
- 22:50Speaker 1: my real way either.
- 22:51Speaker 3: But either way, that's actually pretty close.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm closer to the two sixty five. I played
- 22:56Speaker 1: my own career like two sixty five.
- 23:00Speaker 3: Don't sleep on the size here.
- 23:01Speaker 1: I can win, you know, I can win every time crafts.
- 23:03Speaker 1: This is way off subject. I can win the guess
- 23:06Speaker 1: your weight if you go to the Carnal, I win
- 23:07Speaker 1: that every time because they're like two ten and I'm like, ah,
- 23:10Speaker 1: give me my free blow up pet unicorn doll thinks, Oh,
- 23:14Speaker 1: they're always like and I'm like, yeah, right.
- 23:17Speaker 3: Baseball players are actually tough because often you'll look at
- 23:20Speaker 3: the player and you'll be like, okay, like he's a
- 23:22Speaker 3: big dude, but not huge. And then the lower half
- 23:24Speaker 3: is until.
- 23:25Speaker 1: You see baseball players up close. People think because they
- 23:28Speaker 1: see Josel Tuva and they see Dustin Pedroia and they're like, oh,
- 23:32Speaker 1: they're little, and then they see real bait, like you want.
- 23:34Speaker 1: I say this all the time. Walk into a major
- 23:36Speaker 1: league clubhouse and I'm big and these dudes are massive.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Now pictures. Oh, every pitcher's like six or five and bigger,
- 23:45Speaker 1: and every position player if they're six two or less,
- 23:49Speaker 1: they are like I mean, every one of them. There's
- 23:52Speaker 1: no small people that play professional sports.
- 23:57Speaker 3: I'm with you anyway. I just want to reiterate rowdy.
- 24:03Speaker 1: What did they say in Major League?
- 24:06Speaker 3: They said a lot of things.
- 24:07Speaker 1: What they say, get off the tracks when the train's
- 24:09Speaker 1: coming through rowdy.
- 24:09Speaker 3: Just so you know, Mariners by the way or twelve
- 24:16Speaker 3: and ten. So are the Blue Jays?

- 25:25Speaker 3: yesterday by a final score of who knows it, Who's
- 25:28Speaker 3: got it?
- 25:30Speaker 1: Twenty four to two twenty four two. So doesn't a
- 25:38Speaker 1: maount a run differential and only counts a seven to
- 25:40Speaker 1: two in your world?
- 25:41Speaker 3: It should? So the Reds picked up twenty two runs
- 25:46Speaker 3: on their run differential board.
- 25:49Speaker 4: Austin wins revenge game six for seven from the nine
- 25:54Speaker 4: slot with six stakes, six for seven.
- 26:00Speaker 1: M hmm, it's a pretty good day. It's a pretty
- 26:03Speaker 1: good day, pretty good week for him.
- 26:06Speaker 3: All right, guys, ah started it. Let's get the run
- 26:10Speaker 3: differential rankings right now. Who's won? The Cubs were one, yep,
- 26:17Speaker 3: Cubs are still there plus forty one.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Okay, Number two, I'll give you padres.
- 26:24Speaker 3: Yep, padres plus thirty five. Number three is it? No?
- 26:27Speaker 3: Number three is by themselves? Who's number three?
- 26:33Speaker 1: What? Legally? Then it's the Reds.
- 26:36Speaker 3: The Reds climbed up to number three with your run differential.
- 26:40Speaker 3: They're plus thirty two after that.
- 26:42Speaker 1: Small sample size plus two spots size there they're thinking,
- 26:48Speaker 1: hang on a bad team.
- 26:50Speaker 3: I didn't say they were, I just said run differential
- 26:52Speaker 3: puts them at plus thirty two means.
- 26:56Speaker 1: Are about to get hot. That's what it means. Scott.
- 26:59Speaker 1: By the way, you know what the best part about
- 27:01Speaker 1: the Reds game issue was nobody went over. There's usually
- 27:03Speaker 1: like one guy. He scored twenty five runs, one guy
- 27:06Speaker 1: for seven. I mean, Freedo was one for six and
- 27:09Speaker 1: Ellie is one for four, Scott so and then you
- 27:12Speaker 1: throw an espen Also the shorts up one for six.
- 27:15Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean you got five for seven,
- 27:17Speaker 1: six per seven, which is unbelievable.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Did you see that diving stop by Ellie? That was
- 27:22Speaker 3: pretty good.
- 27:22Speaker 4: That was pretty sid That was then he came up
- 27:24Speaker 4: and hit a dinger the next inning. The thing that
- 27:28Speaker 4: was cool about the Reds the Reds lineup. It was
- 27:31Speaker 4: the eight to nine hitter that had thirteen hits between
- 27:35Speaker 4: the two of them. Thirteen hits and thirteen stakes between
- 27:39Speaker 4: the eight and nine hitter, two worst hitters in the lineup,
- 27:42Speaker 4: something that would never change in baseball, the worst hitter
- 27:45Speaker 4: is the eighth hitter and the ninth hitter.
- 27:48Speaker 1: Is the second worst hitter. No, that's not true. It
- 27:52Speaker 1: used to be different. It used to be the eight
- 27:53Speaker 1: hole hitter was the guy who couldn't hit and he
- 27:54Speaker 1: had a pitcher. Well there you go. So even worse.
- 28:02Speaker 3: Better than box scores is presented by Amage. We're all
- 28:05Speaker 3: wearing amaged church. We'll talk more about him in a
- 28:07Speaker 3: little bit. Let's start with Aaron Judge's home run called back.
- 28:13Speaker 3: Was it a home run or not?
- 28:14Speaker 1: I thought it was fair.
- 28:16Speaker 3: I haven't spoken a one human being that. I said, nope,
- 28:20Speaker 3: what are you looking at? That's a foul ball.
- 28:22Speaker 1: And then you were the still shut the balls that
- 28:24Speaker 1: this is the foul pole. The balls like way fair
- 28:27Speaker 1: like over here. So again, I don't know if the
- 28:29Speaker 1: angle's right down the line. But the the problem is
- 28:31Speaker 1: is that the you don't know if the camera How
- 28:33Speaker 1: can we not have cameras right down the line?
- 28:35Speaker 3: Minor League park has judged said it himself, like.
- 28:37Speaker 1: The foul holes are so low. The ball is obviously
- 28:40Speaker 1: spinning to the left because it's got But I mean,
- 28:42Speaker 1: if you follow it again, I don't know if that's
- 28:45Speaker 1: right down the line. What did Todd Todd was there say?
- 28:48Speaker 3: Todd said that was yeah, go ahead, Kratzy were listening.
- 28:53Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, I was just gonna say, Todd said.
- 28:55Speaker 4: Todd said their angle was tough. The angle that they
- 28:59Speaker 4: had was was more directly behind home plates, so they're
- 29:04Speaker 4: off set that camera angle. The second one where they
- 29:07Speaker 4: have the circle around the ball like it's a UFO
- 29:10Speaker 4: because it went so far. That's from like first base
- 29:15Speaker 4: high first base camp where they're set up. That's not
- 29:19Speaker 4: that's not directly down the line. Whether this is fair
- 29:22Speaker 4: or foul. People can argue it all the time. How
- 29:26Speaker 4: do they miss this? How do they miss this significant
- 29:29Speaker 4: like having a camera right down the line, having a
- 29:31Speaker 4: camera rate down the fence so that you can see
- 29:36Speaker 4: home runs fair or foul, Like this is a This
- 29:39Speaker 4: is a major League Baseball thing to me. This isn't
- 29:42Speaker 4: like they chose to play at this place. They had
- 29:45Speaker 4: to because of the hurricane. They could have had this setup.
- 29:48Speaker 4: Not gonna put up a larger foul pole. I get that,
- 29:52Speaker 4: but I can't say if it's fair and foul. Nobody
- 29:57Speaker 4: can definitively say it's.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Fair and foul. Stop it, stop it. That ball's fair.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Second of all, why in every park can't we put
- 30:04Speaker 1: a stationary camera right down the lines. The lines ain't changing.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Just put a stationary camera right down the line. You
- 30:09Speaker 1: just leave it there. No one has to man it.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Just put a stationary camera that you can see straight
- 30:14Speaker 1: up and down. Maybe put a laser or something shooting
- 30:16Speaker 1: up to the sky so the foul pole keeps extending.
- 30:18Speaker 1: I don't know, there's got to be a way. We
- 30:20Speaker 1: got technology now. I was at a game this weekend.
- 30:22Speaker 1: It perhaps Alma man Or, Mississippi State. A guy from
- 30:24Speaker 1: Florida hit a ball was I was literally sitting on
- 30:27Speaker 1: the first base line, I mean right there, and he
- 30:29Speaker 1: hit a ball the same thing down the right field line.
- 30:33Speaker 1: I thought it was fair as hell. Umpire called a
- 30:35Speaker 1: foul and went to review, called a foul, but it
- 30:37Speaker 1: was over the foul pole. You couldn't tell. But from
- 30:38Speaker 1: where I mean, I was literally sitting like this down
- 30:41Speaker 1: the line. I mean I was in the first row
- 30:43Speaker 1: down the line, and I'm like, that ball's fair, and
- 30:45Speaker 1: they said no foul ball. But still it's like, I
- 30:49Speaker 1: just don't understand how in today's world, with technology, you
- 30:53Speaker 1: can put a GoPro camera right there, you can go
- 30:54Speaker 1: to shoot a I don't know, a laser or something
- 30:57Speaker 1: up there, and if the ball's on the side of
- 30:58Speaker 1: the lake, I don't know, there's got to be a
- 30:59Speaker 1: whit do.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Well, we're in a minor league park. What if the
- 31:02Speaker 3: Rays make the playoffs and something like that happened in
- 31:04Speaker 3: the playoffs.
- 31:04Speaker 1: They're not gonna be playing there. I remember they said
- 31:06Speaker 1: if they make the playoffs, have to play somewhere else.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Oland, So they have to play somewhere.
- 31:10Speaker 1: I thought that's what they were talking about.
- 31:11Speaker 3: They might play some Sacramento will because they have no
- 31:14Speaker 3: affiliation there. They just don't really care about them. They're
- 31:16Speaker 3: just using them. But with Tampa, I don't know. I
- 31:21Speaker 3: don't really think they have another spot to go. They're
- 31:23Speaker 3: not going to go to like Miami to play a
- 31:24Speaker 3: playoff game. Let's let's see them get in there first.
- 31:27Speaker 3: I'm going to tell myself to hold my horses. But
- 31:29Speaker 3: judge was pissed. Okay, he goes, yeah, it was a
- 31:32Speaker 3: fair ball. It's not on the umpires. It's tough in
- 31:34Speaker 3: a situation like this. We're at a minor league park.
- 31:37Speaker 3: The foul poles aren't as high. That's why every play
- 31:39Speaker 3: they have every angle. But that's a fair ball. Aaron Boone,
- 31:43Speaker 3: who got tossed after the judge ab it was a strike.
- 31:47Speaker 3: I mean it was a nice pitch on a slider there,
- 31:49Speaker 3: but he was just pissed about what happened before that.
- 31:51Speaker 3: Boone came out to kind of be like, all right,
- 31:52Speaker 3: you go back, we need you. I'll go get booted
- 31:55Speaker 3: because I do all the time. And Boonie after the
- 31:57Speaker 3: game was like, the audacity of the call stand thing
- 32:00Speaker 3: is remarkable. It's a homer true.
- 32:03Speaker 1: I don't know, by the way, I'm not going to
- 32:06Speaker 1: say what he wrote, but there's a guy in the
- 32:07Speaker 1: Chad Brady Anderson's side burns. It had a funny line, sooks, guy,
- 32:10Speaker 1: you should read it. But I'm not going to say
- 32:12Speaker 1: what he wrote, but just pretty he is funny. Childish
- 32:15Speaker 1: humor always makes me.
- 32:16Speaker 3: It is it's it's a little PG thirteen potentially righted
- 32:20Speaker 3: r so keeping they're standing up for.
- 32:23Speaker 1: His Aaron Boone, listen, stands up for his guys. A
- 32:25Speaker 1: while we talked about snit stand up for his guys,
- 32:26Speaker 1: Aaron Boone standing and called him savages in the box,
- 32:29Speaker 1: and he stands up for his guys. Man, I'll give
- 32:31Speaker 1: him credit. He does it, and this is one of
- 32:33Speaker 1: those times where he stood up for his guy. Took
- 32:36Speaker 1: the ejection. Maybe he went down the street. There's a lot,
- 32:42Speaker 1: a lot, a lot of PG thirteen things to do
- 32:45Speaker 1: right around there. He went to the bus stadium across
- 32:47Speaker 1: the street. I don't know. Yeah, a lot of places
- 32:50Speaker 1: there in there, a lot they gotta fly.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Out, they gotta fly out. He had, he had a
- 32:55Speaker 4: get on the bus. He was just the first one
- 32:56Speaker 4: to get his bag packed.
- 33:00Speaker 3: Todd father, I want to pull a very expensive card
- 33:04Speaker 3: out of a pack. Very difficult to do and very expensive.

- 33:56Speaker 3: code foul for twenty percent off your first purchase. All right,
- 34:00Speaker 3: let's get to a few other things from the series.
- 34:02Speaker 3: So the Yanks win three or four. Okay, there was
- 34:06Speaker 3: a no hitter watch going on with Max Freed, and
- 34:10Speaker 3: that evaporated in the eighth first batter. Jake magnum, mangum, mangum.
- 34:15Speaker 3: There you go. And either way it didn't matter because
- 34:19Speaker 3: right before that we get the announcement from the official
- 34:22Speaker 3: scorer that they actually changed the Chandler Simpson error on
- 34:26Speaker 3: Goldschmidt to a base knock, which actually made sense. On
- 34:30Speaker 3: the broadcast, Michael k was like, could we just have waited, though,
- 34:32Speaker 3: could we have seen how this played out? I'm like,
- 34:35Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you do there? If you
- 34:37Speaker 3: notice you messed up?
- 34:37Speaker 1: Because I'm actually better that he changed it. Now it
- 34:40Speaker 1: could have gotten worse because I think about if he
- 34:42Speaker 1: gets into the ninth or let's say, God forbid, he
- 34:44Speaker 1: doesn't give up another hit, and then the official scorer
- 34:47Speaker 1: is like they celebrated, like just kidding. There's a knock
- 34:50Speaker 1: he did, right, man. Listen y'all, I mean Kratz remembers,
- 34:53Speaker 1: but listen, Bill Matthews. Good for you, Great for you, you
- 34:57Speaker 1: made your decision, you said out with your chest. Good
- 34:59Speaker 1: for you. My thing. This used to happen all the time, dude.
- 35:05Speaker 1: I remember guys I played with would call the official
- 35:09Speaker 1: scorer themselves from the dog guy. They'd pick up the
- 35:12Speaker 1: phone and be like, that's a freaking hit. I'm gonna
- 35:13Speaker 1: come up there and whoop your butt, right, and they
- 35:16Speaker 1: change them. They would change him, dude. Would managers would
- 35:20Speaker 1: call that they changed the rule now where you have
- 35:22Speaker 1: to send in video, the agent has to do all this. Literally.
- 35:25Speaker 6: You used to have dudes in the middle of a
- 35:27Speaker 6: game go to the phone, pick it up, call the
- 35:29Speaker 6: press box, like let me talk to the official score
- 35:32Speaker 6: and they say what and he like, change that now
- 35:34Speaker 6: or else and they're like okay, you know.
- 35:37Speaker 1: Especially at home because they wanted well, they also want
- 35:39Speaker 1: to keep their jobs at home. I mean, as it is,
- 35:42Speaker 1: we're human beings together. Kids want to keep people want
- 35:45Speaker 1: to keep their jobs.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Man, m I'll be stepped in in the right way
- 35:48Speaker 3: they did to fix that stuff.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad Magan I've got to hit because it
- 35:51Speaker 1: took all of it out of it. But I thought
- 35:52Speaker 1: it was the right call when you change it, and
- 35:54Speaker 1: he did it right then because there was no drama, right,
- 35:57Speaker 1: what was in the eight It was already into the
- 35:58Speaker 1: eighth right, So if he waited any longer.
- 36:00Speaker 3: Also, he was at ninety something pitches. He hasn't gone
- 36:03Speaker 3: to one hundred even yet this year, and I know
- 36:05Speaker 3: it's early in the season. He's had an injury history
- 36:07Speaker 3: and all that. Can you imagine Crafts if we're in
- 36:08Speaker 3: the ninth he's had one hundred twenty four pitches. He
- 36:11Speaker 3: gets the no no, and then they're like, as you
- 36:16Speaker 3: didn't get a no no?
- 36:18Speaker 4: When when has that ever happened? Have they celebrated a
- 36:21Speaker 4: no no and then gone back to the official score,
- 36:24Speaker 4: because I have Even on the Yankees broadcast, they were like,
- 36:28Speaker 4: that was going to be a hit in the sixth inning.
- 36:31Speaker 4: They were saying it when it happened, and then after
- 36:34Speaker 4: they overturned it and Magnum got the hit, they were like, yeah,
- 36:39Speaker 4: you know, Chandlers probably was a hit. I love it
- 36:42Speaker 4: that this guy. I'm not a big official scorer fan
- 36:45Speaker 4: because I think sometimes they can hide behind the secrecy of,
- 36:49Speaker 4: you know, their decisions, and I think they give too
- 36:52Speaker 4: many people hits now, but I think they I think
- 36:57Speaker 4: he did the right thing here. You can't go into
- 36:59Speaker 4: the ninth can be like, I'm still reviewing it and
- 37:02Speaker 4: the broadcast.
- 37:04Speaker 1: You're done, Crata mic.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Yeah, your mic just stopped you, so we're gonna reset you.
- 37:09Speaker 3: But you did have good words and actually the mic
- 37:11Speaker 3: started picking up right at the end of a good
- 37:13Speaker 3: sentence there. So once that Kratz, we're coming back here. Okay, Uh,
- 37:16Speaker 3: I'm going to switch to subjects. I do want to
- 37:18Speaker 3: get to one more thing from this series is Devin Williams.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Okay, it wasn't Saturday? Was it Saturday?
- 37:24Speaker 3: When Saturday eight four lead vanished? Seven batter space, one walk,
- 37:29Speaker 3: four hits. Walk rate's like double from the last.
- 37:32Speaker 1: People were hitting him. Did Pete Alonzo kill Devin Williams's
- 37:35Speaker 1: confidence that home run? Well, what's the problem I don't
- 37:40Speaker 1: know with walks obviously, but he's not getting the swing
- 37:43Speaker 1: and miss he was getting no.
- 37:45Speaker 3: And one thing the Yankees do that is not that innovative,
- 37:50Speaker 3: but seems to be a thing for many relievers who
- 37:53Speaker 3: come over. There is the raised plan. Fernando Cruz, Oh,
- 37:56Speaker 3: your splitter's nasty. We're gonna throw it way way way back.
- 37:59Speaker 3: I mean, Kinley, Tommy Canley, your change ups nasty. We're
- 38:01Speaker 3: gonna throw it way way way more. Devin Williams post game,
- 38:05Speaker 3: they're talking to him because his change up usage right
- 38:07Speaker 3: now is up from forty five percent last year to
- 38:10Speaker 3: fifty seven percent, and he said, yeah, maybe I'm using
- 38:14Speaker 3: my airbender a little bit too much. Now.
- 38:16Speaker 1: The more guys see certain pitches, the better your chances
- 38:19Speaker 1: are to hit it. And especially I mean crowds will
- 38:22Speaker 1: tell you when you're the closer guys lock in a
- 38:25Speaker 1: little bit more. I just that's why they all else
- 38:28Speaker 1: are equal. They're not all equal. Trust me. When you
- 38:30Speaker 1: have a one run lead in the ninth and you're
- 38:31Speaker 1: the team, trust me, dudes, lock in. They're like, all right,
- 38:34Speaker 1: I'm usually facing this nasty dude that's coming in from
- 38:37Speaker 1: the bullpen, and I don't want to look stupid, so
- 38:39Speaker 1: I'm really gonna lock in for these are bats. That's
- 38:41Speaker 1: why guys who can do it are so special, because
- 38:45Speaker 1: it's a hard job. To close. It's a hard job
- 38:47Speaker 1: to get a hit off a closer. What's really hard
- 38:48Speaker 1: to get those last three outs?
- 38:49Speaker 3: Yep, crats, you've seen anything with Devin Williams. I mean
- 38:54Speaker 3: you had Chandler Simpson with the opposite field knock that
- 38:56Speaker 3: went to the left, that went to the corner and left.
- 38:59Speaker 3: That was the first hit. Actually, that was a fastball.
- 39:01Speaker 3: It was kind of it was definitely middle, a little up,
- 39:03Speaker 3: So maybe there's command issues since a lot a lot
- 39:07Speaker 3: of middle middle quadrant. Wise, Brandon Lau to run single
- 39:10Speaker 3: that tied it. That was the change up where it
- 39:14Speaker 3: was middle middle and usually that thing dives more. That
- 39:18Speaker 3: one didn't have the same break that you've seen from
- 39:20Speaker 3: him in the past. So, krats, did you catch anything?
- 39:24Speaker 1: He never was.
- 39:25Speaker 4: He never was a guy that was just pinpoint accuracy. Yeah,
- 39:29Speaker 4: you look at the numbers. He was a tightrope walk
- 39:33Speaker 4: when he was when he was over in Milwaukee.
- 39:36Speaker 1: It's not going well for him right now.
- 39:38Speaker 4: Like the usage is up because it's a really good
- 39:42Speaker 4: pitch and maybe they felt like the Brewers weren't using
- 39:45Speaker 4: it enough and Devin Williams has an opportunity to shake
- 39:52Speaker 4: it off too. It's early you hope he can make
- 39:56Speaker 4: the adjustment, whatever that adjustment is. But I promise a team,
- 40:00Speaker 4: the Yankees, they have the people on it that can
- 40:03Speaker 4: like evaluate, Oh, you know, is there something with the spin?
- 40:06Speaker 4: Is there something that's you know, his change up spin
- 40:10Speaker 4: was elite. I'm looking at the numbers right now. It's
- 40:14Speaker 4: still easy elite. That's what gives him that that like view.
- 40:19Speaker 4: Like everyone thinks, oh, it's gonna be a heater out
- 40:21Speaker 4: of his hand. The spin looks like a heater, and
- 40:26Speaker 4: it just never gets there because his his actual his
- 40:29Speaker 4: change up spin is actually his average change up spin
- 40:32Speaker 4: is actually faster than his fastball spin. So it looks
- 40:37Speaker 4: very similar to what it did last year, so.
- 40:41Speaker 1: Different in that sense. Here's my question. Is he throwing
- 40:43Speaker 1: it too much? Because as a hitter, if I'm facing
- 40:46Speaker 1: Devin Williams, I don't want to look stupid on a
- 40:48Speaker 1: change up, So I'm going up there, and if he's
- 40:49Speaker 1: throwing at fifty would you say seven percent? There's a
- 40:53Speaker 1: good chance, especially as me being a left in and
- 40:54Speaker 1: I guess what, I'm gonna get a change up, and
- 40:56Speaker 1: after I see one, I'll be like, okay, I've seen
- 40:58Speaker 1: this now, you know, Like before he would throw ninety eight,
- 41:02Speaker 1: and he'd rushed ninety seven to ninety eight up every
- 41:04Speaker 1: once in a while. Now, if he's just throwing a
- 41:05Speaker 1: lot of change ups, if I'm a hitter, I'm going
- 41:07Speaker 1: all right. And you didn't throw a breaking ball really,
- 41:10Speaker 1: so you get to I think. But he also threw
- 41:13Speaker 1: more fastballs. He threw more fastballs than change up. Now,
- 41:16Speaker 1: Tommy Kanley is a special dude. I don't know how
- 41:18Speaker 1: the heck he throws forty seven changes in a row,
- 41:20Speaker 1: and I give up, it's whatever that number was. But
- 41:24Speaker 1: you can't throw a certain pitch too, especially when you
- 41:26Speaker 1: start seeing guys a bunch of times. Eventually someone's going
- 41:29Speaker 1: to make an adjustment. Not the race did it give
- 41:30Speaker 1: him credit? But they still won the game. So Yankee
- 41:33Speaker 1: still won the game.
- 41:34Speaker 3: No, not that game, but that the game they lost.
- 41:36Speaker 3: That was the one they lost four and then Ironda
- 41:38Speaker 3: had the I mean they won three out of four.
- 41:40Speaker 3: But that's why Yanks fans are like, we should have
- 41:42Speaker 3: sorry this series.
- 41:43Speaker 1: Sorry, I got confused with it. I was thinking of
- 41:45Speaker 1: the Blue Jays and the Mariners.
- 41:46Speaker 3: Yes, but should they allow him to continue in the
- 41:50Speaker 3: ninth game? My thing is, you have Luke Weaver. Yes,
- 41:52Speaker 3: do you let him figure it out.
- 41:54Speaker 1: They're still doing fine, they're still doing fine. Yeah, but
- 41:56Speaker 1: let him go figure If he don't figure it out soon,
- 41:58Speaker 1: now he's gonna have to blow a couple more. Then
- 42:00Speaker 1: you make a change right now, right now, you let
- 42:02Speaker 1: him go. You brought this guy in, Yes, you trade
- 42:07Speaker 1: it for him. You let him grow a beard? Right?
- 42:10Speaker 1: Maybe that was brom crotch. He shouldn't have changed a
- 42:12Speaker 1: beard policy, right, Devin Williams. He's the sacrificial lamb for
- 42:16Speaker 1: the beard policy. All the yanker fans like, see.
- 42:18Speaker 3: What else we let a guy grow beard?
- 42:20Speaker 4: See about his about his average? How about his average
- 42:26Speaker 4: velocity is down almost two miles per hour on his fastball?
- 42:29Speaker 1: How about that?
- 42:31Speaker 4: Now, all of a sudden, all everything's spinning, moving all
- 42:34Speaker 4: the same. It's just getting a little bit closer to
- 42:38Speaker 4: the speed of his changeup. So he just needs to
- 42:42Speaker 4: throw some heavy balls. He needs to do some bandwork.
- 42:46Speaker 4: He needs to do a couple of these, a couple
- 42:48Speaker 4: of these, banger, He's ready to go. He also pitched
- 42:52Speaker 4: half a season last year, Like he's got to be.
- 42:56Speaker 4: He's got to stay healthy for this entire season. Maybe
- 42:58Speaker 4: he's pitching through something. It's his free agent year. He
- 43:01Speaker 4: wants to get his best contract, all things that they
- 43:04Speaker 4: have to figure out internally. They should not take him
- 43:07Speaker 4: out of the closer role. Luke Weaver's going to be
- 43:08Speaker 4: there the whole year, take a break, get him right
- 43:12Speaker 4: as the closer. You're not building a dude's confidence by
- 43:15Speaker 4: putting him in the eighth inning when he's been role
- 43:17Speaker 4: aid's relief pitcher of the year like threef two or
- 43:21Speaker 4: three of the last three years.
- 43:23Speaker 3: Okay, I'm saying, if he's really pitching through something that's
- 43:26Speaker 3: causing them.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Then you put him on the IL. We don't take
- 43:28Speaker 1: him out of the closers.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Role right right, and put him on the IL because
- 43:32Speaker 3: the one thing is you will not get paid if
- 43:34Speaker 3: you're not good, and if peripheral numbers and velocity numbers,
- 43:38Speaker 3: stuff like that are down. Teams would rather see two
- 43:41Speaker 3: good months and they'll pay for that. Remember rich Hill
- 43:44Speaker 3: six starts or whatever and then he got a big contract.
- 43:46Speaker 3: They'd rather see that than poor performing.
- 43:49Speaker 1: There's still fourteen and eight. They're still in first place.
- 43:51Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's about the Yes, it's about him.
- 43:54Speaker 1: Two miles an hours a lot of miles an hour.
- 43:57Speaker 1: That's two yet a lot.
- 44:00Speaker 3: Well, yeah, when you're getting ninety three in the zone
- 44:03Speaker 3: like that and then eighty six in the zone like that, Yeah,
- 44:07Speaker 3: it's it's a little different, all right. Last thing, real quick,
- 44:10Speaker 3: we already talked about it, and we'll probably get news
- 44:12Speaker 3: in the next day or two. But Jazz got an
- 44:14Speaker 3: actual suspension. We talked about this situation. He actually got
- 44:17Speaker 3: a one game suspension for the social media ish and
- 44:21Speaker 3: he's appealing it. I hope he wins. Find him. Don't
- 44:25Speaker 3: suspend a guy a game for sending out a twet.
- 44:27Speaker 1: They're sending a message. You're not supposed to tweet during
- 44:30Speaker 1: the games. That's one of the things. They're sending a message,
- 44:32Speaker 1: don't tweet during games.
- 44:33Speaker 3: I hope he fights it hard. Leave me alone. He's
- 44:37Speaker 3: not in the game. He got booted.
- 44:39Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what they don't want. They don't want.
- 44:41Speaker 1: They want people not to look on Twitter and be like, oh,
- 44:44Speaker 1: Jess Chisholm got kicked out. Let's pay attention to that
- 44:46Speaker 1: instead of the game.
- 44:47Speaker 3: Brought a lot of attention to that game.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Of course he did, but he shouldn't. That's one of
- 44:51Speaker 1: the things they crash on They say you can't tweet
- 44:53Speaker 1: during the game. We don't be on your you know,
- 44:55Speaker 1: angels took away the cell phones like it's a big deal.
- 44:58Speaker 1: You can't, can't You definitely can't call him umpire out
- 45:01Speaker 1: on Twitter during the game. Why why you can't call it?
- 45:06Speaker 1: You can't call him by out pretty much?
- 45:07Speaker 3: Ever, Well, that's stupid. He's a human being. Human beings
- 45:11Speaker 3: can call out other human beings. This player is not
- 45:13Speaker 3: performing well, this owner is not performing well, this umpire
- 45:15Speaker 3: is not performing well.
- 45:16Speaker 1: This broadcaster that's gonna be his opinion, right, Okay, so
- 45:22Speaker 1: what what what? What's say an umpire? Will this hitter sucks?
- 45:26Speaker 3: You can he still has a job to do. He
- 45:29Speaker 3: can say this.
- 45:31Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you right now. You're being stupid.
- 45:32Speaker 3: What you're wait, a player is not allowed to call it?
- 45:34Speaker 1: And no, why crats take over? Because before I hit him,
- 45:40Speaker 1: before I hit him with these Adidas flowers, you.
- 45:45Speaker 4: Can't call him out because you have to have a
- 45:47Speaker 4: level of authority like oh yeah, whatever, hey everybody just
- 45:52Speaker 4: like you can't just be a trolling generation it just
- 45:55Speaker 4: calls everybody out. You have to have some type of accountability.
- 45:59Speaker 4: I mean, Jamie Jamin wore me out in the chat
- 46:01Speaker 4: last last week when I said, maybe they should change
- 46:04Speaker 4: the rule, maybe they should lect kids.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Maybe you should let guys tweet during the game.
- 46:09Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Did you have every every player like this on their
- 46:12Speaker 1: phone during the game? Would you would stop it?
- 46:16Speaker 3: Stop it on our way out here?
- 46:18Speaker 1: Snowflake over here?
- 46:19Speaker 3: Why is that snowflake for calling out?
- 46:22Speaker 1: Ok, we're going to calling someone out, going to break snowflake.
- 46:25Speaker 3: Actually, I know why you said it, because I'm celebrating Olf.
- 46:32Speaker 1: It was Easter, not Christmas, so listening should have Easter Bunny.
- 46:37Speaker 3: I didn't get a serve for that. Here we go,
- 46:40Speaker 3: thanks homage. Breaking news here, the Guardians have designated Tristan
- 46:45Speaker 3: McKenzie for assignment. What does that mean? Other teams could
- 46:49Speaker 3: claim him? If they want to pick him up, you
- 46:52Speaker 3: have to take on the salary. I'll look up what
- 46:54Speaker 3: he's making in a sec. This is all fresh news.
- 46:58Speaker 3: Or he ended up in the miners? How much one
- 47:01Speaker 3: point nine to five?
- 47:02Speaker 4: One point nine to five this year? It's his first
- 47:05Speaker 4: year of arbitration, second year of arbitration, I think.
- 47:09Speaker 3: Okay, so a team could pick that up, which I
- 47:12Speaker 3: actually think a team might if they think they can
- 47:14Speaker 3: fix it. Otherwise he goes to the minor leagues.
- 47:18Speaker 1: Man, he fall. Oh man, he was so good a
- 47:21Speaker 1: couple of years ago and he just started getting hurt
- 47:23Speaker 1: all the time. So good, just amazing, how quick this
- 47:26Speaker 1: game just choose you, spit you out. Man. That's why
- 47:31Speaker 1: people say get into the big leagues is hard, but
- 47:33Speaker 1: staying because I tell people this all the time, and
- 47:35Speaker 1: Krauts knows this. When you're a major league player, every
- 47:39Speaker 1: person in the world is trying to get your job
- 47:41Speaker 1: that plays baseball, not just it's not like it's not
- 47:44Speaker 1: like just some guy sitting over here that works. You
- 47:47Speaker 1: work at IBM, and I work at Apple. That Apple
- 47:50Speaker 1: guys like every dude in the world is trying to
- 47:52Speaker 1: get There's only seven hundred and what eighty of them
- 47:55Speaker 1: in the world that do the job. And if you're
- 47:57Speaker 1: like a starter, there's thirty of you in the world world,
- 48:01Speaker 1: and there's every other person. There's millions and millions of
- 48:03Speaker 1: people that want to get your job, and they come
- 48:05Speaker 1: for you every day. And this is how fast he
- 48:07Speaker 1: can have It was just some kids in a couple
- 48:08Speaker 1: years ago. Was supposed to be. It was thought to
- 48:11Speaker 1: be like the next Guardian Indian Star.
- 48:15Speaker 3: People were like, sign him up to an extension. Yeah,
- 48:19Speaker 3: he started getting hit with injuries. You know, when we
- 48:22Speaker 3: all saw this news, I saw everyone's face and it
- 48:25Speaker 3: was kind of the same because you also root for
- 48:27Speaker 3: guys that are good interviews, they give their time, like
- 48:29Speaker 3: he's a good ambassador of the game. So you know,
- 48:31Speaker 3: we saw it just now Kraft and I was like, ah,
- 48:34Speaker 3: damn it.
- 48:37Speaker 1: It sucks. It sucks.
- 48:38Speaker 4: I caught one of his pens when he was like
- 48:40Speaker 4: eighteen or nineteen. We talked about when he's on the show,
- 48:43Speaker 4: just a guy that's really engaged talking to voter, talking
- 48:47Speaker 4: to other guys that played with him or watched him
- 48:50Speaker 4: the last few years going through his rehab, Like the
- 48:55Speaker 4: dude is so positive. He's so he's out there for
- 48:58Speaker 4: the team. He's out there for his boys, and he
- 49:01Speaker 4: wants to compete. Just hasn't been healthy. And then when
- 49:07Speaker 4: you come back from not being healthy and you have
- 49:09Speaker 4: an eleven ERA through your first four games. The team's trying,
- 49:14Speaker 4: Like we just talked about Andrew Vaughn and Liam Hendricks,
- 49:16Speaker 4: the team's trying to win. They're not not every team
- 49:19Speaker 4: can sit there and go, Okay, hey, you know what,
- 49:22Speaker 4: you're going to iron it out. I would have a
- 49:24Speaker 4: hard time believing that there's not five teams that could
- 49:29Speaker 4: care less about their record that could give this guy
- 49:31Speaker 4: an opportunity to work this stuff out in the big
- 49:34Speaker 4: leagues because.
- 49:37Speaker 1: The potential's there.
- 49:40Speaker 3: I think that's concerning is Cleveland often is able to
- 49:43Speaker 3: resurrect a career. They have a really good thing going there.
- 49:46Speaker 3: M h.
- 49:48Speaker 4: They but you realize that they don't necessarily resurrect careers.
- 49:54Speaker 4: They translate how a guy's pitching in the minor leagues
- 49:57Speaker 4: with their formula, and they they take them to the
- 50:00Speaker 4: big leagues and they get the value out of them
- 50:02Speaker 4: when they have them, Like very few guys hang around.
- 50:07Speaker 4: They they keep them for a little bit and then
- 50:10Speaker 4: they get rid of them. And where do those guys go?
- 50:12Speaker 4: How do they do when they go away from them?
- 50:15Speaker 4: The Guardians have done a really good job of creating
- 50:19Speaker 4: creating starting pitchers with stuff that doesn't necessarily match up
- 50:24Speaker 4: with what other teams are looking for. Ninety five to
- 50:26Speaker 4: ninety nine, you know, they have a formula that's control
- 50:30Speaker 4: and spin and exit velocity and it goes into formula
- 50:34Speaker 4: and they say, you'll be a good starter one day.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Do you know why? Because they feel like they can
- 50:38Speaker 3: add a few ticks, just like almost any team can.
- 50:42Speaker 3: So they do this in the draft all the time.
- 50:43Speaker 3: They'll find a guy and you'll be like, oh wow,
- 50:45Speaker 3: he barely walk to anyone in college. He's only ninety three,
- 50:49Speaker 3: and they're like, well, that's cool, but what if he
- 50:50Speaker 3: throws ninety seven and still keeps that command in control.
- 50:55Speaker 3: That's what they like. But it's a good point from
- 50:58Speaker 3: Kratz too. The Guardians don't really have time to mess
- 51:00Speaker 3: around like they're good. I don't think they're going it's short.
- 51:05Speaker 3: But also in the division, it's a good division, Like
- 51:07Speaker 3: they can't be like, all right, let's run them out
- 51:09Speaker 3: and we'll keep working on things. Me he's made one, two, three,
- 51:12Speaker 3: four starts for them, hasn't gotten more than two innings.
- 51:17Speaker 3: They just don't have time.
- 51:18Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, They're not good enough to give someone a
- 51:22Speaker 1: little bit of runway like the Yankees can do with
- 51:24Speaker 1: Devin Williams.
- 51:25Speaker 3: Right, Dodgers can do that with Bobby Miller a little bit.
- 51:28Speaker 3: They send him did they send him back ready? Then
- 51:31Speaker 3: maybe they can't. But anyway, hopefully.
- 51:33Speaker 1: Last year they did last year with Bobby Miller.
- 51:36Speaker 3: Yeah, they gave him some time and fans were freaking
- 51:39Speaker 3: out and it's like, you guys are good.
- 51:41Speaker 1: Hasn't gotten any better though, poor Bobby.
- 51:43Speaker 3: I know. So there's some guys going through it. Tristan's
- 51:46Speaker 3: one of them. Then eleven and a half the ra
- 51:49Speaker 3: and four appearances, four starts, five and two thirds, so
- 51:53Speaker 3: we'll see what happens with him, all right. There was
- 51:56Speaker 3: actually a little psychology going on with Joe Deli yesterday
- 51:59Speaker 3: had a huge, huge, huge hit for the Angels that
- 52:01Speaker 3: turned around the game, and the ninth it was a
- 52:02Speaker 3: walk off knock there down too. He clears the basis,
- 52:04Speaker 3: he said Mike Trout came up to him in the
- 52:06Speaker 3: on deck circle and he goes, hey, man, you don't
- 52:09Speaker 3: need to be the euro nice and easy, and Dell
- 52:13Speaker 3: said it really helped him out. Does that stuff help
- 52:17Speaker 3: I don't know, does it.
- 52:18Speaker 1: I mean, he knows what he's gotta do. I remember
- 52:20Speaker 1: long and twenty fourteen was came up and he don't
- 52:23Speaker 1: walk off home run in the playoffs for the Battle.
- 52:25Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, just make contact because he tried to
- 52:27Speaker 1: hit a home run every bad and he hits a
- 52:28Speaker 1: home run of course. And he's like, was that good
- 52:30Speaker 1: enough contact for you? I was like, yeah, we won.
- 52:32Speaker 1: Good job, he told you, he showed me Colton, I
- 52:36Speaker 1: love you. But that was funny.
- 52:37Speaker 3: That's good. Yeah.
- 52:39Speaker 1: I don't know. Does it help me. It's used to
- 52:40Speaker 1: have a future Hall of Famer tell you don't have
- 52:42Speaker 1: to do everything. But I mean, listen, if you're Joe Adel,
- 52:44Speaker 1: you've been up and down, You've seen enough. Now you
- 52:45Speaker 1: know you know what you gotta do. Let's put the
- 52:47Speaker 1: battle on the ball and try and get a hit.
- 52:49Speaker 1: We all try to get a hit every time, but
- 52:50Speaker 1: it doesn't always work out. So good for you, Joe.
- 52:53Speaker 1: If it helped. If Trout helped you, then good for you.
- 52:57Speaker 1: I love it.
- 52:57Speaker 4: That's where the value of veterans is not so and
- 53:00Speaker 4: that Trout's only value is talking to players. But these
- 53:04Speaker 4: are the kind of conversations, Oh well, that guy's kind
- 53:06Speaker 4: of been in it. Okay, it might make you more
- 53:08Speaker 4: panicked than it might not work out. I'm sure there's
- 53:10Speaker 4: been conversations that, hey, Joe, don't swing at this slider
- 53:14Speaker 4: in the dirt. Oh okay, thanks thanks for that info.
- 53:19Speaker 4: Like just gave a mindset that a big.
- 53:22Speaker 3: Comeback injury suck. We'll start with the Dodgers. Blake Trining
- 53:28Speaker 3: MRI reveals a low grade forearms brain for now, the
- 53:31Speaker 3: plan is rested rehab, no timetable, not great.
- 53:38Speaker 1: It was trying and they bring up Evan Phillips.
- 53:40Speaker 3: Yeah, they have so many good releases, but Blake Trying.
- 53:43Speaker 1: Was the dude last year. But he's also older. This
- 53:46Speaker 1: also could be a Hey, it's still early. Struggled his
- 53:48Speaker 1: last time out, so let's give him a little ten
- 53:50Speaker 1: day break.
- 53:51Speaker 3: Or a month. I mean they've got a lot of
- 53:54Speaker 3: arms in that bullpen. Yes, yeah, I've said this from
- 53:58Speaker 3: the jump. They say this internally, crats. Can we get
- 54:02Speaker 3: as much as possible intact to October? That is the goal.
- 54:08Speaker 3: I know it's a goal for everyone, but more for them.
- 54:10Speaker 4: And they figure it out when they're there. Dudes pitch
- 54:12Speaker 4: through things in the playoffs. Dudes that play healthy the
- 54:16Speaker 4: whole season pitch through things in the playoffs. Dudes that
- 54:18Speaker 4: are injured part way through the season pitch through things
- 54:21Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Brent Honeywell just got his ring just
- 54:24Speaker 4: the other day. Like that, dude came out of nowhere
- 54:27Speaker 4: in the baseball since we had him on the show
- 54:30Speaker 4: at the end of spring training last year. But the
- 54:32Speaker 4: Dodgers just find guys like this. They find guys, but
- 54:37Speaker 4: they also find like the superstars, and they're okay because
- 54:40Speaker 4: of their depth to be able to let them get
- 54:44Speaker 4: this forearm thing ironed out so that it doesn't become
- 54:48Speaker 4: a Tommy John.
- 54:49Speaker 3: Thing, right, especially for trying it at that age. He
- 54:54Speaker 3: does not want to go through that crap again. He's
- 54:57Speaker 3: upper thirties. Tyler glassnew left pile, not drinking his pickle juice. Yeah, cramped,
- 55:04Speaker 3: He's had him before, right.
- 55:06Speaker 1: That's what he came on here and said. He started
- 55:07Speaker 1: drinking pickle juice. His hand was like cramp and this
- 55:10Speaker 1: was like a calf I think, or a cammy. I
- 55:12Speaker 1: don't know what a cramp feels like. People, I must
- 55:13Speaker 1: drink too much pickle juice. People blasphem me for that,
- 55:16Speaker 1: but it's true truth.
- 55:18Speaker 3: He's not, he said, I'll give you the quote. It's
- 55:20Speaker 3: not a fatigue thing. I've tested the hydration. I'm not
- 55:22Speaker 3: really sure why it keeps happening. It hasn't happened in
- 55:24Speaker 3: a while. After a while, it just gets to the
- 55:25Speaker 3: point where it's fully locked up. I'm not sure why
- 55:29Speaker 3: his team won that game, won nothing, and he dealt
- 55:34Speaker 3: four score listening there Sunday pitches, right, because they have
- 55:38Speaker 3: a weekly ish schedule.
- 55:40Speaker 1: Going on on Moto Friday. It's like college. They have
- 55:42Speaker 1: a Friday night starter, a Sunday night starter, and a
- 55:44Speaker 1: Sunday starter.
- 55:46Speaker 3: That's fine, yeah, on a week schedule, and you know
- 55:49Speaker 3: what day you're pitching.
- 55:51Speaker 4: Kind of cooling that he's not pitching enough. Maybe he's
- 55:55Speaker 4: not pitching enough, and so his legs started to cramp.
- 56:00Speaker 3: He's a conspiracy theorist.
- 56:01Speaker 1: What causes a cramp?
- 56:04Speaker 3: You've never had one?
- 56:05Speaker 1: And so I'm saying, I want to know what I
- 56:06Speaker 1: played with Tyler Flowers, who used to drink seventeen Pedia lights,
- 56:10Speaker 1: eighteen Gatorades, nineteen Electrolyte packets. We go playing Miami four
- 56:14Speaker 1: innings and like you gotta go in, he's cramping up.
- 56:16Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't understand, Like I just don't understand,
- 56:20Speaker 1: like even.
- 56:21Speaker 7: Literally, like you can't cramp up and he can't a game, No,
- 56:28Speaker 7: not as a not as a position player, as a picture.
- 56:30Speaker 7: Maybe because you're not really athletic as a position player,
- 56:33Speaker 7: you can't cramp.
- 56:33Speaker 1: Up in a game. No, sorry, it happened all the time.
- 56:36Speaker 1: I'm like, I just don't. I mean, they were trying everything.
- 56:39Speaker 1: He was drinking all kinds of stuff.
- 56:40Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know, you need to pickle juice.
- 56:44Speaker 1: Apparently pickle juices.
- 56:46Speaker 3: You need to pickle juice. So uh. By the way,
- 56:48Speaker 3: Yamamoto was great, Rookie Sazaki looked much better. He was
- 56:51Speaker 3: using the slidder a lot more and just attacking more.
- 56:54Speaker 3: I think it's just an attack more.
- 56:55Speaker 1: He's throwing more strike. Yeah, that's amazing if you throw
- 56:57Speaker 1: it over the plate.
- 56:58Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think he's gonna get That's my prediction.
- 57:01Speaker 3: Roki Sazaki good at ball.
- 57:04Speaker 4: Can't get can't get Higgy out though, my boy Higey
- 57:08Speaker 4: with a.
- 57:08Speaker 1: Dinger true.
- 57:12Speaker 3: Good signing.
- 57:14Speaker 1: Dodgers should have swept him.
- 57:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 57:16Speaker 1: The doly CRC home run of Kirby A two has
- 57:18Speaker 1: been really good. But other than that, I mean the
- 57:20Speaker 1: Dodgers should have swept him.
- 57:22Speaker 3: They'll take it. Didn't move on exactly real quick, just
- 57:29Speaker 3: from last night. Arise was carted off the fields. Yeah,
- 57:32Speaker 3: it looked really bad. He collided with Mauricio dubon the
- 57:36Speaker 3: prognosis post. Sounds pretty good.
- 57:39Speaker 1: He was knocked out he was not. I was watching
- 57:41Speaker 1: this on the plane coming home from Mississippi yesterday, and
- 57:44Speaker 1: he went down and I was like, he's knocked out.
- 57:48Speaker 1: As soon as he hit his shoulder, he went faced
- 57:49Speaker 1: his shoulder. His eyes were closed, and anytime a guy
- 57:52Speaker 1: goes down his arms are up. That's it's curtains right there,
- 57:55Speaker 1: you're out, yep. And he was out for a while,
- 57:57Speaker 1: and then he didn't move for a long time. They
- 57:59Speaker 1: kept showing it, and he didn't move for a while,
- 58:02Speaker 1: like he was just there.
- 58:04Speaker 3: You're always worried about like knack next thing. Yeah, but
- 58:06Speaker 3: knocked out, as bad as it sounds, that's kind of
- 58:08Speaker 3: the one of the better case scenarios. I mean, obviouee.
- 58:11Speaker 1: Okay, So my question is, doesn't if you get knocked out,
- 58:14Speaker 1: doesn't that automatically mean you have a concussion. I don't
- 58:16Speaker 1: know enough about concussions, probably because if it wasn't like
- 58:19Speaker 1: he just passed out from low blood sugar or something else.
- 58:22Speaker 1: I mean, his face went into Dubon's shoulder right and
- 58:25Speaker 1: he was out, So doesn't that mean you I don't Again,
- 58:27Speaker 1: I don't know enough about unconsciousness and concussions.
- 58:31Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm sure he's trying.
- 58:33Speaker 4: I'm sure he's in a concussion protocol. I mean, how
- 58:35Speaker 4: do you like even any kind of symptom. You got
- 58:39Speaker 4: to go through the tests, and that's what that's one
- 58:42Speaker 4: thing made in baseball did a good job of. It's
- 58:43Speaker 4: a seven day, seven day lists, so you don't feel
- 58:46Speaker 4: like you have to like push a guy to not
- 58:49Speaker 4: go on because it's ten or fifteen days, seven days concussion.
- 58:54Speaker 1: But he was back in the locker room after, they
- 58:56Speaker 1: said after the game, like, so that's a good sign
- 58:58Speaker 1: and he's okay. But according to a producer, lady, yes,
- 59:01Speaker 1: being knocked out is a common symptom of.
- 59:03Speaker 3: A common symptom, but it's important to know not all
- 59:06Speaker 3: concussions and loss.
- 59:07Speaker 1: No, I understand, but I always thought if you get
- 59:09Speaker 1: knocked out, you have a concuss, right, because it basically.
- 59:12Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty likely. So yeah, hopefully he gets back
- 59:15Speaker 3: on the field soon. And good thing. Yeah, it wasn't
- 59:19Speaker 3: what some people were looking at and thinking, oh man,
- 59:21Speaker 3: he's not moving so that was bad. Yeah, you always
- 59:24Speaker 3: worry about the necks. It's good to see that he's
- 59:26Speaker 3: back on track already. Let's slap a couple of things first,
- 59:43Speaker 3: of all. Yes, that game was insane. On Friday, sixteen
- 59:47Speaker 3: runs in Chicago with the Diamondbacks and the Cubs, right, yeah,
- 59:51Speaker 3: in the eighth inning, just in the eighth ten runs
- 59:54Speaker 3: from Arizona. Cubs won that game. Also, just a reminder,
- 59:58Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker's really good.
- 59:59Speaker 1: I had a friend that game with his kids, and
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: I told him. He sent me a picture. And then
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: that was right before the Diamondbacks sent to ten runs,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: and I go, see what you did to your kids?
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: You ruined them. And then of course the Cups came back.
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: It's a good game. That's a fun game to go
- 1:00:10Speaker 3: to if you're a Cubs fan. All right, big history today.
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: What do we got Happy Phil Humber Day? Oh yeah,
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: twenty twelve. On this day, Phil Humber threw a perfect game.
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: Crouch you know about Oh wait, now you don't catching
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: a perfect game. Sorry, but yeah, he threw a perfect game.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: And I almost completely left it up at the end
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: because he threw a slider that was twelve feet outside
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: and I missed it. And I thank you Brendan Ryan
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: for not running, and rip Paul Runky for calling it
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: a swing.
- 1:00:36Speaker 3: Wow, he should have ran, Brian Runky.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Sorry, Brian Ruggy, sorry, excuse me, bind me run because
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: he was arguing with the umpire. He was arguing, thank you,
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: thank you, Brendan Ryan. That's great, thank you Brian Ruggy.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: But still one of the coolest things because I missed
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Mark Burley's perfect game. I wasn't playing that day, and
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: Mark Burley made fun of me until that day. And
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The forst text I got after
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: the game was Mark Burley saying, congrats, you got your
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: perfect game. So good on you, Mark. Yeah, there's the
- 1:01:08Speaker 1: mask right there.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the bronze mask. Yeah there it is.
- 1:01:11Speaker 1: The best part of the whole thing was everybody was
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: celebrating and I was the last person to get to
- 1:01:15Speaker 1: the mount because I was chasing the ball. Everybody ran
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: to Phil Homer and I kind of waited a second
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: because I just wanted to kind of soak it in
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: for a second. And there was just a dog pile.
