Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It feels like there's more injuries this year. Maybe not
- 0:02Speaker 1: in the past forty eight hours.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Jackson Merril has the hamstring, just like tell Marte from
- 0:06Speaker 2: a few days ago. Justin Steele just hit the shelf.
- 0:12Speaker 2: I want to go right to it presents.
- 0:14Speaker 1: He's here. I don't know what it is either, what
- 0:17Speaker 1: are we going right to? No, you got me interested.
- 0:19Speaker 1: It's just especially the Oh no, I did not jump
- 0:23Speaker 1: in that river. Trust me. There's a lot of things
- 0:24Speaker 1: I would do that jumping in that river was not
- 0:26Speaker 1: one of them.
- 0:26Speaker 2: In San Antonio. No close, Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't don't
- 0:33Speaker 2: jump in the river.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Not jump in that river. I'm sorry, but.
- 0:37Speaker 2: There's aj who brought his captures mask yep to San
- 0:40Speaker 2: Antonio yep to cut down the nets and give us
- 0:44Speaker 2: a little chump.
- 0:46Speaker 1: Yeah, it could have came with a better picture for me.
- 0:49Speaker 1: But that's okay.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Well, that's you know, post celebration.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Let me just tell you I hadn't been in San Antonio.
- 0:56Speaker 1: I know Kratz has been there. It was great for
- 0:59Speaker 1: to host an event other than the Alamodome. The Almodom
- 1:01Speaker 1: kind of sucks because it's just old and antiquated at
- 1:04Speaker 1: this point. But like I was in like the twentieth
- 1:07Speaker 1: Row and I was like, I could barely see the court.
- 1:10Speaker 1: I'm like, because it's not like high like this, it's
- 1:13Speaker 1: like very flat and spread out.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Oh that's so.
- 1:15Speaker 1: It's like I was like, man, I need binoculars to
- 1:17Speaker 1: see the court. I wasn't that far away.
- 1:19Speaker 2: Why haven't they updated it? And why do they always
- 1:21Speaker 2: do it? They're not always. It's a lot, but it's great.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Because if you've never been to San Antonio, they have
- 1:25Speaker 1: the Riverwalk and it's the city is like here and
- 1:29Speaker 1: then down here they have the Riverwalk and it's literally
- 1:31Speaker 1: a river that goes to the city and they have
- 1:32Speaker 1: all these boats. But the whole thing is like bars
- 1:34Speaker 1: and restaurants. So the whole day, well, Sunday and Monday,
- 1:39Speaker 1: was just the fans partying on the Riverwalk.
- 1:43Speaker 2: Let's it injuries suck because yesterday was heavy. We'll start
- 1:50Speaker 2: with the timetable that we learned after the show for
- 1:52Speaker 2: Rick Victor Roblaze, small fracture in the left shoulder, not
- 1:58Speaker 2: gonna need surgery as of now. Adam Jude, covering the team,
- 2:02Speaker 2: he said likely out for at least twelve weeks. Made
- 2:05Speaker 2: that sick catch. The other day, but it wasn't worth it.
- 2:08Speaker 2: I mean, they've got an album said.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Got a catch because it hit the net or something.
- 2:14Speaker 1: There was some weird ruling, so want it. He got
- 2:18Speaker 1: ruled out of play, so one base, that's right.
- 2:24Speaker 2: But now he's out for a long time.
- 2:26Speaker 1: He could out for the year. Yeah, what does he
- 2:28Speaker 1: call it?
- 2:28Speaker 2: A humoro humoroal head in his left shoulder was fractured
- 2:33Speaker 2: and it's him Rose Arena and Julio Rodriguez that they
- 2:38Speaker 2: were very excited and set about for their outfield and
- 2:40Speaker 2: he had been much better since he moved over there.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I mean, he was on his way to potentially being
- 2:45Speaker 2: out of the league with the Nationals needed to change
- 2:47Speaker 2: the scenery. He gets it, plays well last year, started
- 2:50Speaker 2: out looking pretty similar to what he was last year,
- 2:53Speaker 2: and now they're gonna lose him for a while and
- 2:55Speaker 2: they can't score. He went one for nineteen with renters
- 2:57Speaker 2: in scoring position. Last night, I was on a late
- 2:59Speaker 2: delayed flight and I'm watching I'm like, oh my gosh,
- 3:02Speaker 2: I just keep watching the same Mariners game for years.
- 3:05Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't I was asleep because I
- 3:07Speaker 1: was still carsick from the night before Fair. I don't
- 3:11Speaker 1: didn't miss much. No, I woke up to it was
- 3:13Speaker 1: two to one. I saw the Astros one two to
- 3:15Speaker 1: one in like the twelve inning or whatever it was
- 3:16Speaker 1: they did. Because I tried to stay up to watch
- 3:19Speaker 1: some of the games, but by like nine o'clock nine
- 3:22Speaker 1: night termite. But then I woke up and I watched
- 3:25Speaker 1: I get on my phone and check all the scores
- 3:27Speaker 1: and see if anybody did anything cool and other than injuries,
- 3:29Speaker 1: there weren't a lot of cool things that happened last night.
- 3:31Speaker 1: No school obviously haven't. Yes s Google happened.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Franburg was good, Cartini had the go ahead knock in
- 3:37Speaker 2: the twelfth, but yeah, nineteen strikeouts from the offense won
- 3:40Speaker 2: for nineteen with runners in the scoring position. So it's tough.
- 3:43Speaker 2: But on the Seattle side, Kratz, I mean to me,
- 3:47Speaker 2: this is a team that needs a lot of things
- 3:50Speaker 2: to go right for them to get into the playoffs.
- 3:54Speaker 2: This hurts Kirby out for now. Hurts They're off two
- 3:57Speaker 2: not a great start.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Not a great start.
- 4:01Speaker 3: But I'll say against that kind of like, they don't
- 4:04Speaker 3: really need a lot to go right because of that
- 4:07Speaker 3: starting rotation can carry them. There's no reason you should
- 4:11Speaker 3: be in a game when you're won for nineteen with
- 4:13Speaker 3: runners in scoring position, and yet they were still in
- 4:15Speaker 3: a game like they've been in a lot of games.
- 4:18Speaker 3: This pitching staff, not just starting rotation. The bullpen two
- 4:23Speaker 3: is very underrated because it's going up against their starting rotation.
- 4:27Speaker 3: It's just this offense. And I don't know that it's
- 4:29Speaker 3: necessarily the guys that they have there. It's the guys
- 4:32Speaker 3: that they have there in the positions that they're in.
- 4:35Speaker 3: You can't expect certain guys to carry the team because
- 4:39Speaker 3: they're not that like they have. They have some legit
- 4:42Speaker 3: pieces that need another legit piece around them. And I'll
- 4:46Speaker 3: be honest, watching Roblazes catch, I feel like twelve weeks
- 4:52Speaker 3: is like like it could have it could have been.
- 4:54Speaker 3: I feel like it could have been worse. I get it,
- 4:56Speaker 3: twelve weeks is three months, but it just looked. It
- 4:59Speaker 3: looked terrible the way his shoulder bent or didn't bend
- 5:03Speaker 3: whatever when he went into the net.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Ah, it looked terrible. Amazing catch.
- 5:08Speaker 2: It's a minimum.
- 5:09Speaker 1: They're four and eight. I know it's early, so it's
- 5:11Speaker 1: it's bad. It's not good. They're four and eight and
- 5:14Speaker 1: they started with West Sacramento, even though we're not allowed
- 5:17Speaker 1: to call them Oakland anything or West Sacramento. And they
- 5:20Speaker 1: two and two, and then so they're two and six.
- 5:22Speaker 1: It's playing West Sacramento and it's not good. I mean,
- 5:25Speaker 1: their offense is still bad. It's all the things we
- 5:27Speaker 1: talked about in the off season. Their offense is still bad.
- 5:30Speaker 1: In every Mariner fan you talk to says the same thing.
- 5:33Speaker 2: It looks the same.
- 5:34Speaker 1: It looks the same, like, where's the offense? How are
- 5:36Speaker 1: we going to score our pitchings down? It's same stuff
- 5:38Speaker 1: we talk about here all the time. It just looks
- 5:40Speaker 1: the same. And I know, listen, you can say you're tied,
- 5:43Speaker 1: your hands are tied, but you know they need to
- 5:45Speaker 1: where's the development of hitters? And you can only use
- 5:48Speaker 1: Safego t Mobile Park for an excuse for at some
- 5:51Speaker 1: point it's like Colorado, you got to figure something out.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Whatever it is. They figured out the pitching side of it,
- 5:56Speaker 1: how do we figure out the hitting side? Do we
- 5:57Speaker 1: need to be more athletic, be bunt and steal and
- 5:59Speaker 1: run and just be super uber athletic like the Royals
- 6:02Speaker 1: were back when Krats won with them, right? Like? Is
- 6:04Speaker 1: that what the plan is? In tam Mobilan and yes
- 6:07Speaker 1: you have Julio can hit you some homers. But I
- 6:09Speaker 1: remember the team in two thousand and one and won
- 6:11Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen games. I mean they had Mike
- 6:14Speaker 1: Cameron who was super athletic, Etro super athletic and steal basics.
- 6:18Speaker 1: But then they had like a lot of contact guys
- 6:20Speaker 1: ol Rude, you know, Brad Boone, those guys, Edgar and
- 6:23Speaker 1: all those guys were you know, all together. So it
- 6:25Speaker 1: was like, wow, this is a complete team. Like you
- 6:28Speaker 1: can't just go and say, oh, we're just gonna hit
- 6:30Speaker 1: for homers if the park, if your home park doesn't
- 6:32Speaker 1: help you hit.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Homers, that's not the way to go. It'd speed and
- 6:35Speaker 4: hit tool That's what I would go with. That's what
- 6:37Speaker 4: k C has, That's right, that's besides. But they also
- 6:41Speaker 4: dude still that have power. Sure you had power guys, Yeah, but.
- 6:44Speaker 1: You can't go into a season say we're gona hit
- 6:46Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty homers. You know it's not gonna happen.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Roblace was one of those guys athletic,
- 6:52Speaker 2: I mean, looked like a different hitter since he went
- 6:55Speaker 2: over there. Obviously, speed contact. All of that right, a
- 6:59Speaker 2: little bit of pot that was emerging anyway, AJ, it
- 7:04Speaker 2: is time for people to get some new clubs, and
- 7:06Speaker 2: to do that they need to go to their local
- 7:07Speaker 2: PXG for a fitting, right.
- 7:10Speaker 1: No doubt. I was there today. I've been there before.
- 7:12Speaker 1: Last time I was there, they gave me this killer gapage.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Look at that sweet spot, Scott, it is worn out.
- 7:17Speaker 1: That is right in the sweet spot right there. So
- 7:19Speaker 1: I went and got new clubs today, new irons. But
- 7:21Speaker 1: more importantly, I got this bad boy. I got me
- 7:23Speaker 1: a new putter. This is my old putter. It's on order. Yes,
- 7:25Speaker 1: that's my putter cover PXG Mustang putter. Now I'm going
- 7:28Speaker 1: to the Allen putter. They talked me into it because
- 7:30Speaker 1: I was draining some putts today. Bob, the guy who
- 7:33Speaker 1: helped me out, he helped me with my irons. He
- 7:35Speaker 1: got them teed up perfectly. But then we went to
- 7:37Speaker 1: the putting green. I was draining them putts because that's
- 7:39Speaker 1: the most important part of golf.
- 7:40Speaker 2: PXG fittings are fun. Schedule you're fitting today, as you
- 7:45Speaker 2: can hear from AJ for a limited time, you could
- 7:46Speaker 2: save up to twenty percent on your entire order. Head
- 7:49Speaker 2: over to pxg dot com slash foul. That's pxg dot
- 7:53Speaker 2: com slash foul to save up to twenty percent on
- 7:56Speaker 2: your entire order. Pxg dot com slash foul strictions apply.
- 8:01Speaker 2: See site for details. Charge Let's charge the damn mount.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Congratulations to Kenlee Jansen, who becomes only the fourth reliever
- 8:12Speaker 2: in history to accomplish four hundred and fifty career saves.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Wow. And we were talking about this during the break.
- 8:19Speaker 2: But for the TV crowd two, I asked aj if
- 8:22Speaker 2: we can call him a legend? By the way, Aldon
- 8:24Speaker 2: Gonzalez helping to fill in the blanks. He worked out
- 8:27Speaker 2: of a two on none out jammed to preserve a
- 8:29Speaker 2: one run lead against the Rays for the seven and
- 8:32Speaker 2: three Angels, who made a great move to pick up
- 8:36Speaker 2: a guy like this, But anyway, legend status because of.
- 8:39Speaker 1: What he should go in the Hall of Fame. Only
- 8:42Speaker 1: three guys I'm morph says Lee Smith has four seventy eight.
- 8:45Speaker 1: He's in obviously Mariano and Trevor. He's gonna catch Ley Smith.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he should catch him probably this year. Kimberl's
- 8:50Speaker 1: right there with four forty. The question is is like
- 8:53Speaker 1: there's some Billy Waggers in with four twenty two. Eckersley
- 8:56Speaker 1: is three ninety. He also was a starting pitcher. But
- 8:58Speaker 1: one of my questions is why is John Franco done
- 9:01Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame? I mean, he has more
- 9:03Speaker 1: saves than Ben Wagner and Eckersley does, and he you know,
- 9:07Speaker 1: k Rod Francisco Rodriguez, whatever you think of him, I
- 9:10Speaker 1: mean he's got He's sixth all time on the list
- 9:12Speaker 1: of four thirty seven. It's really hard for relievers to
- 9:16Speaker 1: get into the Hall of Fame, but you started getting
- 9:18Speaker 1: close to five hundred saves, you should be in. I'm sorry.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Well, Franco ended his career before Mo, right well before MO.
- 9:26Speaker 1: And I mean he's four hundred and twenty four saves
- 9:29Speaker 1: till he's seventh all time two point eight nine ERA.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Trevor Hoffman has six hundred one two point eight seventy RA.
- 9:35Speaker 1: So I mean Lee Smith is in with a with
- 9:38Speaker 1: four to seventy eight and over a three R.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Did any reliever who pitched into the two thousands make
- 9:42Speaker 2: it into the Hall of Fame before MO?
- 9:45Speaker 1: I don't Lee Smith, No, I don't think so. Lee
- 9:48Speaker 1: Smith was the closest I guess.
- 9:49Speaker 2: I almost felt like waiting for Muffy and that well.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Hoffman was after Mo, right, or.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Was he before I think after a pretty similar.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was a year or two after MO.
- 9:59Speaker 2: So I feel like once MO got in a year.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Was a year before Mo. Mo was was nineteen, Hoffman
- 10:07Speaker 1: was eighteen. Got it?
- 10:10Speaker 2: Okay, So maybe I'm way off with all of this stuff,
- 10:11Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm with you. Kenley should be in the
- 10:13Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, and some people are going to dispute
- 10:15Speaker 2: that because they pick on relievers.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Mo has a two point two e r A. Kenley
- 10:22Speaker 1: has a career two point five six. I mean, granted,
- 10:25Speaker 1: he has about four hundred less innings, which is crazy. Yeah,
- 10:28Speaker 1: that's crazy. He has about four hundred less innings, But
- 10:32Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's amazing. Kenlly has eight hundred
- 10:35Speaker 1: and seventy six career games, eight hundred and seventy three
- 10:41Speaker 1: career innings. It's insane. Different game with I know, in
- 10:44Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty six he's over half the games
- 10:47Speaker 1: he's pitching, he's gotten a save it.
- 10:50Speaker 2: So, how many innings for Kenley.
- 10:52Speaker 1: Eight seventy three point one Billy Wagner nine oh three. Yeah,
- 10:57Speaker 1: so's he's.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Just about at Billy Wagner's and Billy's Inn.
- 11:02Speaker 1: So this should actually think I think. Listen, I'm a
- 11:05Speaker 1: big haul guy. If the numbers warranted, you didn't cheat,
- 11:08Speaker 1: So you know, for me cheat, Sorry, let me clarify
- 11:12Speaker 1: that cheat after they was illegal to do it in
- 11:15Speaker 1: legal in baseball, not illegal in the world, but in
- 11:17Speaker 1: legal in baseball. I'm a big haul guy as far
- 11:20Speaker 1: as that goes. And numbers add up, and once they
- 11:23Speaker 1: start adding up to a certain points, you should get in.
- 11:25Speaker 1: There's certain things, you know, certain positions are underrated. Reliever,
- 11:27Speaker 1: third base, catcher. To me, you're underrerated in the Hall
- 11:29Speaker 1: of Fame. I would agree, I would agree.
- 11:34Speaker 3: But my thing is like, did the guy dominate for
- 11:38Speaker 3: eight to ten years at his position in the big leagues,
- 11:42Speaker 3: no matter of state of the game? Strikeouts are up,
- 11:44Speaker 3: strikeouts are down, live ball, dead ball, all that stuff,
- 11:48Speaker 3: did he dominate compared to the other guys? And you
- 11:51Speaker 3: have a hard time, hard time making me believe that
- 11:56Speaker 3: for a ten year stretch, Kenlly Jensen wasn't one of
- 11:59Speaker 3: the top two closers in the game.
- 12:02Speaker 1: Agreed, agreed, and I faced him. That dude, still is nasty.
- 12:06Speaker 2: You might get called out for the Franco one though,
- 12:08Speaker 2: I mean Franco pitched more innings than all of those
- 12:11Speaker 2: an get out not mo. I mean maybe people don't
- 12:15Speaker 2: feel like he was as dominant.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Look at his ZRA.
- 12:19Speaker 2: I mean, look at his ra RA plus one thirty eight. Yeah, okay,
- 12:24Speaker 2: ken Lee won fifty six. Wagner was crazy. I remember
- 12:27Speaker 2: like one crazy seven.
- 12:28Speaker 1: But I'm just saying one thirty one.
- 12:30Speaker 2: What'd you say, one thirty eight, one thirty eight.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Thirty eight percent better than the average guy. Yeah, with
- 12:35Speaker 1: four hundred plus saves.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Twelve hundred and forty five innings.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a multi inning closer guy.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Right, crap, should he get considered why not?
- 12:48Speaker 1: Why shouldn't he?
- 12:49Speaker 3: But again, i'd have to I'd have to have played
- 12:52Speaker 3: through that era to be able to say I can't.
- 12:54Speaker 3: I can't say. Hey, you know, guys were like, oh yeah,
- 12:57Speaker 3: I'd love to.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Face John Franco. Well, I'm like, obviously not.
- 13:01Speaker 3: I mean he was dominant, he was killing everybody, and
- 13:04Speaker 3: to have that many more innings, I don't know.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Sure put him in.
- 13:12Speaker 2: Congrats to Kenley. I think he's still got a ways
- 13:14Speaker 2: to go, too. I mean, he looks like he can
- 13:16Speaker 2: still pitch for several more years. It's not like you're
- 13:19Speaker 2: watching him being like, ah, this is it. Everything shaky's
- 13:22Speaker 2: at the end. I mean, I get it. Last night
- 13:24Speaker 2: was shaky, but he's been doing that for years. It's
- 13:26Speaker 2: a lot of the great shak Yeah, a lot of
- 13:29Speaker 2: the great clothes.
- 13:31Speaker 1: Four saves, and there's a lot of people say he
- 13:33Speaker 1: was super shaky a lot of times, but he was
- 13:34Speaker 1: also dominanted times.
- 13:36Speaker 2: Right, mo was different because I do feel like, at
- 13:38Speaker 2: least it was just so many one two threes, it's awful.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. He was awful. I love you, but
- 13:46Speaker 1: you were awful. He didn't walk, guys, walk guys. But
- 13:49Speaker 1: he broke my bat every damn time. You knew it
- 13:52Speaker 1: was coming. Oh, I went up there with Griffy's bat.
- 13:55Speaker 1: He was so mad at me, so mad at me
- 13:57Speaker 1: because we're down three and they're like, oh go, you
- 14:02Speaker 1: know you're two outs somebody on and I'm like I
- 14:05Speaker 1: went to the batrag and I'm like, I I look
- 14:08Speaker 1: at Griffy, I'm me use your mat. He's like better, No,
- 14:11Speaker 1: you're gonna break it. I'm like, yep, that's why I'm
- 14:13Speaker 1: using your mat. That's what I went like, and I
- 14:15Speaker 1: went like full king Griffy Junior. In the event, I
- 14:17Speaker 1: took a full swing and the ball literally went about
- 14:19Speaker 1: this far fair and like hit the plate and rolled
- 14:22Speaker 1: like two inches fair, and I think the SADA tagged
- 14:24Speaker 1: me and I was like, I didn't break your bag. Rev.
- 14:28Speaker 1: That's good.
- 14:29Speaker 2: That's the problem though, is we have to stop doing
- 14:32Speaker 2: comps to Mow like pulled him at the gold standard.
- 14:35Speaker 2: But there has to be other tiers here. So I'm
- 14:39Speaker 2: with you, Uh, he should be a lock. But great
- 14:41Speaker 2: job there. And also in that game, we did have
- 14:45Speaker 2: a home run robbery in the stands.
- 14:47Speaker 1: It's okay.
- 14:47Speaker 2: They ended up fixing it and calling it a homer.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Christopher Morrell, super athlete goes up, but he's not going
- 14:53Speaker 2: to be as tall as somebody standing many feet above
- 14:56Speaker 2: him who goes to ballparks and finds spaces.
- 14:58Speaker 1: We talk about that guy, Okay.
- 15:01Speaker 2: People are just very angry always about Zach Hampell.
- 15:07Speaker 1: He said this ball steeler.
- 15:09Speaker 2: I don't care. I mean, I don't know the guy.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Most most people go nuts with how he operates. I
- 15:18Speaker 2: don't know. I guess I'm with you. I'm just like
- 15:21Speaker 2: if he ever stands in front of someone and hurts
- 15:24Speaker 2: them or takes the baseball away from a kid, which
- 15:26Speaker 2: I guess he has done. That's the part that's like,
- 15:29Speaker 2: come on, stop, it does Morel the baseball's out, doesn't
- 15:32Speaker 2: he or he's not keeping them all.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I try not to pay attention to what he does.
- 15:38Speaker 1: I don't care about what he does.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Krats with catching the baseballs that clear easily obviously in
- 15:43Speaker 2: this case.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Like Morell was going to catch it, I don't know, Krats.
- 15:48Speaker 1: It looked like his glove was right under Hampell's glove,
- 15:50Speaker 1: so I know he was over the fence.
- 15:52Speaker 3: But yeah, they gave him the homer, right, they get
- 15:56Speaker 3: him homer, but just because you're would have caught.
- 15:59Speaker 2: It, right, so you robbed also catch, Yeah, and.
- 16:03Speaker 1: A great catch. Like speaking of Christopher Morel had a
- 16:06Speaker 1: day yesterday, Well he had a day. You got all
- 16:09Speaker 1: the good and all the bad all in that one game.
- 16:12Speaker 1: What happened, Well, he pimped a single. I mean, he
- 16:15Speaker 1: pimped a single.
- 16:16Speaker 3: You got a double out of it, but he made
- 16:18Speaker 3: it the third on the overthrow then too, but he
- 16:20Speaker 3: pimped the piss out of it.
- 16:23Speaker 1: It was a single until the goof ops. I mean
- 16:26Speaker 1: he pimped it. I mean he pimped and it wasn't
- 16:28Speaker 1: even close. Like he bat flipped, gave the yeah, let's go,
- 16:30Speaker 1: and it was like the duke then he had that
- 16:36Speaker 1: and then he got ejected, I mean smashed his bad
- 16:39Speaker 1: It was, it was. It was an interesting game in
- 16:40Speaker 1: the world of Christopher Morel yesterday. It was definitely full emotion.
- 16:44Speaker 1: But isn't that what we want? Don't we want fully motion?
- 16:46Speaker 1: You saw that in Chicago.
- 16:48Speaker 3: I mean he was getting he was drawing the ire
- 16:50Speaker 3: of some of his opponents, being like like celebrating a
- 16:56Speaker 3: home run when they're down by six or eight runs,
- 16:58Speaker 3: Like the.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Dude just plays with him. Ocean kind of get the
- 17:02Speaker 1: better of him last night.
- 17:03Speaker 3: But I think it was Rob Drake was behind the
- 17:05Speaker 3: plate and made a call that he didn't like and
- 17:07Speaker 3: it strike three swung and missed. I mean, he shattered
- 17:11Speaker 3: his bat and clearly said something. Because you don't get
- 17:15Speaker 3: thrown out for shattering your bat and on strike three
- 17:19Speaker 3: that you swung and missed at without saying something, of.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Course, so you get a twenty five dollars equipment violation.
- 17:25Speaker 1: You might when they do you break your bat and
- 17:29Speaker 1: you throw your helmet and they're like, Dutch an equipment violation.
- 17:31Speaker 1: You're like, yep, twenty five bucks, okay, are you kidding me?
- 17:37Speaker 1: They do this is that low? It was like it
- 17:40Speaker 1: was fifty. The umpire is so stupid quiment violation. It
- 17:46Speaker 1: is so it's such a low. It's it's such a low.
- 17:49Speaker 3: It's in the twenty five or fifty dollars, seriously, but
- 17:51Speaker 3: the umpire will do it and nobody slams their bat
- 17:54Speaker 3: and helmet when they're like kind of mad, like they're
- 17:58Speaker 3: mad at what happened and like to see the umpire
- 18:01Speaker 3: go because they have to point it out. They they
- 18:04Speaker 3: pointed out and sometimes they say equipment violation. I've seen
- 18:08Speaker 3: guys get two in one play and like it made
- 18:12Speaker 3: me mad, like it wasn't it wasn't even me that
- 18:14Speaker 3: made the out. Like like they'd point at the bat
- 18:17Speaker 3: and then the helmet goes flying across to the dugout too,
- 18:20Speaker 3: and they're like, as it's going across, it's just it's
- 18:25Speaker 3: not it's not a good situation. Just write them up.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Just write them up. You don't need to make like
- 18:28Speaker 3: a physical point. Just write them up. Send the bill.
- 18:32Speaker 3: It goes to charity. But ah, man, that was non
- 18:35Speaker 3: equipment violation last night.
- 18:38Speaker 1: I used to laugh and then the guy would come
- 18:40Speaker 1: up the next amount. I'm like, be sure you can't
- 18:41Speaker 1: afford that twenty five for the equipment violation. May it's
- 18:44Speaker 1: so mad about it, you need help. That was like
- 18:46Speaker 1: the dumbest thing the empire go equipment violation and I
- 18:50Speaker 1: start laughing. I'm like, you're gone.
- 18:54Speaker 2: I would have caught like five hundred or something.
- 18:56Speaker 1: It was like literally like twenty five bucks. Wow. So
- 18:58Speaker 1: guys like you know, you know, get mad and they
- 19:00Speaker 1: throw their helmets, last out and equipment boilers, and you're like,
- 19:04Speaker 1: what an idiot? Twenty five months. Then sometimes you get
- 19:07Speaker 1: kind of egg The umpire are like they can't afford that.
- 19:12Speaker 1: I don't care, but it's just more paperwork. I'm like,
- 19:13Speaker 1: then why do you write it up? Like it's not
- 19:15Speaker 1: your helmet.
- 19:16Speaker 2: The labor hours are not even worth it.
- 19:18Speaker 1: No, Like that was the best. With some umpires they
- 19:20Speaker 1: throw you out or they do the equip violation. They
- 19:22Speaker 1: would write you up because anyone do the paperwork. I
- 19:25Speaker 1: love that and you never get a fine. It was great. Uh.
- 19:30Speaker 2: On the topic of thinking that you have a home run.
- 19:35Speaker 2: I don't want that to get confused with having emotion,
- 19:38Speaker 2: having a good time, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 19:40Speaker 2: I think those two things can be separated. Like you
- 19:43Speaker 2: know that you hit it out of the park before
- 19:45Speaker 2: you're celebrating, Still play with the motion. If here's the
- 19:49Speaker 2: example I want to use, because we'll touch on this
- 19:51Speaker 2: real quick and then we'll get to the Nats and
- 19:53Speaker 2: Dodgers after the break. But let's just sneak in Phillies
- 19:56Speaker 2: and braves quickly. Here you had a Mundo so getting
- 20:00Speaker 2: his first start ever in the outfield. He's veteran in
- 20:03Speaker 2: the league. Now here he is like, I am all
- 20:05Speaker 2: about this. I caught this one very soon. I didn't
- 20:08Speaker 2: catch this one live. I was on a plane, but
- 20:09Speaker 2: I caught it soon after that on socials, and I'm
- 20:11Speaker 2: just like, sick made a robbing catch in his first
- 20:15Speaker 2: start in the first inning of this game getting Azuna,
- 20:18Speaker 2: and I thought the celebration just was was perfect right
- 20:24Speaker 2: grabs it. It's like like a smooth spike, not spiking
- 20:29Speaker 2: the baseball, but like a.
- 20:31Speaker 1: I want that.
- 20:32Speaker 2: So I just don't want to confuse that with oh,
- 20:34Speaker 2: you know, Christopher Morel here he is pimping singles like no,
- 20:37Speaker 2: he just has to know when the ball leaves the
- 20:39Speaker 2: yard before he's celebrating.
- 20:42Speaker 1: Agreed. Okay, listen, we've all kind of watched it. Maybe
- 20:46Speaker 1: not crats when I've watched balls that hit the wall.
- 20:48Speaker 1: I'm not fast enough, so I Jerry Reiser, would you
- 20:52Speaker 1: think there should have been a double? I'm like, yeah,
- 20:53Speaker 1: but I'm slow. Jerry, He's like, why did you stand
- 20:55Speaker 1: and watching him? Like, because I thought it was a Homer. Sorry,
- 20:58Speaker 1: you know, but happens. I get it, but I don't
- 21:01Speaker 1: know that I've ever done the full bat flip. Let's
- 21:05Speaker 1: go to my teammates and then not have to go
- 21:06Speaker 1: out because that's usually a reserved for one, you know
- 21:09Speaker 1: what's gone, and two it's usually for like a walk
- 21:12Speaker 1: off games over Homer.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Maybe they weren't using the juice balls that that Gary
- 21:18Speaker 3: Cohen was talking about the other day. I guess you know,
- 21:22Speaker 3: they weren't using them down in Tampa. Maybe the ball's
- 21:25Speaker 3: not traveling as much.
- 21:27Speaker 1: By the way, can we get Garry a managerial job?
- 21:30Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that. I mean we should get
- 21:32Speaker 1: you know what it was, GM manager, commissioner and whatever.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Why are you guys so worried about that.
- 21:37Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just I just said. I mean he
- 21:38Speaker 1: talked about he's talking about ball's juice. He's talking about
- 21:41Speaker 1: where guys are positioned and what he should do if
- 21:42Speaker 1: he was the manager. I mean, listen, I think they're great, But.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Isn't that the job of the broadcast to go over
- 21:50Speaker 2: the managerial moves and what's happening in the game.
- 21:53Speaker 1: But you're also supposed to explain both sides of it. Okay,
- 21:56Speaker 1: we'll get to it. I love Gary Ron and I
- 22:00Speaker 1: think they're hilarious. Yeah, but there are times where you're
- 22:02Speaker 1: just like.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Okay, well, I like the debate when he brings that
- 22:06Speaker 2: up and then someone comes back at him and says no,
- 22:09Speaker 2: and here's why, which obviously we do on this show.
- 22:11Speaker 2: So we'll get to that real quick before we break,
- 22:13Speaker 2: because we're not going to talk about this game anymore.
- 22:15Speaker 2: The Braves did beat Wheeler, good for them. Sean Murphy's
- 22:18Speaker 2: back with glasses on and hit a homer and had
- 22:20Speaker 2: a big hit later on in the game, so things
- 22:22Speaker 2: are looking up for the Bravos. And they acquired Rafiel Montero,
- 22:26Speaker 2: who you might laugh about because he signed that three
- 22:29Speaker 2: year thirty five mil with the Astros. He's costing eleven
- 22:32Speaker 2: and a half this year. Braves need bullpen arms. But
- 22:35Speaker 2: I think they're getting him for the league minimum, and
- 22:38Speaker 2: the Astros trade him over to the Braves. And I
- 22:40Speaker 2: was reading this morning some tweets from CJ. Nikowski, who
- 22:44Speaker 2: calls games for the Braves, about how Montero's got a
- 22:47Speaker 2: new splitter that they really like. So I'm like, Okay,
- 22:50Speaker 2: I mean it's probably a league minimum, guy, give him
- 22:53Speaker 2: a shot real quick.
- 22:54Speaker 1: Do We're we worried about Chris Sale at all?
- 22:57Speaker 2: A little bit like the Velo is a little down right?
- 23:00Speaker 1: Yeah? Born two third, three starts.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Rinaldo had the VLO issue like that in spring and
- 23:06Speaker 2: at the start of the year, and we won't have
- 23:08Speaker 2: time for this either, so I'll do it now. But
- 23:09Speaker 2: he had his surgery, he's he's probably not coming back
- 23:12Speaker 2: until September at the earliest. So I don't want to
- 23:14Speaker 2: compare those two. But when you do see vlow differences
- 23:17Speaker 2: no matter what age it is, right and it's early
- 23:20Speaker 2: in the season, you do have to wonder. Didn't we
- 23:23Speaker 2: wonder about this last year? Late last year and then
- 23:25Speaker 2: he ended up missing the playoffs start.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Yeah, just something to look at.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Okay, well you can see right below me. Yep, it
- 23:35Speaker 2: just went away. But it was their hammer territory. That's
- 23:38Speaker 2: your spot. They go over all of that. Let's cover
- 23:42Speaker 2: a couple other injuries because we didn't get too many
- 23:44Speaker 2: at the top. These are fresh ones, you know, bleak
- 23:47Speaker 2: issue for Wyatt Langford, so that'll take him out for
- 23:53Speaker 2: a minute.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Not great. See, there's just it feels like there's more
- 24:03Speaker 1: injuries this year. Maybe not in the past.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Forty eight hours is the problem. Yeah, Jackson Merril has
- 24:09Speaker 2: the hamstring. Just like to tell Marte from a few
- 24:12Speaker 2: days ago, Justin Steele just hit the shelf with left
- 24:14Speaker 2: elbow tendonitis. He said, his armor starting to tighten up
- 24:17Speaker 2: on him a little bit. Tatis on Il, Yeah, Tatis
- 24:22Speaker 2: left yesterday. Cronenworth also exited yesterday. Yesterday was by far
- 24:28Speaker 2: the biggest injury hit day of course, of this season.
- 24:32Speaker 2: But that I can remember in a minute. I mean,
- 24:35Speaker 2: not like everybody's knocked out for the season, but.
- 24:37Speaker 1: What happened the crone zone. I missed that one.
- 24:40Speaker 3: He was he said, hit and he was like he
- 24:45Speaker 3: like didn't run it out and he's he was hunched over.
- 24:47Speaker 1: I couldn't tell if.
- 24:48Speaker 3: He hurt his his top hand or if it was
- 24:52Speaker 3: his shoulder, so his left shoulder or a side. But
- 24:56Speaker 3: I saw he's going to be could be back Friday.
- 24:59Speaker 3: But we'll see cramping, cramping, confusion.
- 25:04Speaker 1: I mean that's a new one. I never heard of
- 25:05Speaker 1: that one. What's that cramping from a confusion. I mean,
- 25:13Speaker 1: if you get hit, you get a bruise and then
- 25:15Speaker 1: it cramps up. Now, I don't know what's a cramp
- 25:18Speaker 1: feel like. Tell me what the cramp. I don't know.
- 25:23Speaker 3: I never had one, so I want to know what
- 25:24Speaker 3: it feels like. I never had a cramp, never had
- 25:28Speaker 3: a cramp. Monkeys never cramp but to a banana a day.
- 25:35Speaker 3: But you've never had a cramp.
- 25:39Speaker 1: I've had a shitch in my side, like when I
- 25:40Speaker 1: was running, but I never had like a where people
- 25:43Speaker 1: are like, like, I've been up with people at dinner
- 25:46Speaker 1: and they're and they all of a sudden, you just
- 25:47Speaker 1: see him go, yeah, wrong with you my hamstring? I'm
- 25:53Speaker 1: like what They're like, it's cramped. I'm like, what are
- 25:54Speaker 1: you talking about? Maybe you never had a hamstring cramp?
- 25:58Speaker 2: No crats? Do you like spending an hour on grocery shopping.

- 27:02Speaker 2: City connects that weren't leaked, or maybe they were, but
- 27:07Speaker 2: these are real city connects that actually were out there.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Inspired by the San Francisco Giants time in New York,
- 27:13Speaker 2: also inspired by the energy and music scene. The new
- 27:17Speaker 2: uniform embodies of the cities movement, creativity, and rebellious spirit.
- 27:23Speaker 1: The purple pays tribute.
- 27:24Speaker 2: To the New York Giants when the team were violent
- 27:28Speaker 2: as Violet as a nod to NYU. Also honors the
- 27:32Speaker 2: Fillmore's stage lights. I mean, there's a lot going on here.
- 27:34Speaker 2: There's a lot of longer things. But anyway, thoughts here
- 27:39Speaker 2: they said the Giants chest script flows like sound and
- 27:42Speaker 2: is influenced by the psychedelic posters which AJ loves, and
- 27:46Speaker 2: a lava lamp moving with the energy of the game,
- 27:48Speaker 2: the movement or the movement the moment, and the music
- 27:52Speaker 2: inspired by warped sixties gig posters. I wasn't born in
- 27:56Speaker 2: the sixties, so is this what they did?
- 27:59Speaker 1: I mean, it would have been cool if the letters
- 28:00Speaker 1: moved like a lava lamp. They figured out how to
- 28:03Speaker 1: do something like that. I want that, Like everyone was
- 28:06Speaker 1: a little bit different. I mean, that would be cool,
- 28:07Speaker 1: but I don't know. They're cool. Listen, I'll say this.
- 28:11Speaker 1: They're better than the giants old ones that were just
- 28:14Speaker 1: like all you know, they have the cream. They just
- 28:17Speaker 1: were like, we're gonna make white ones with orange lettering
- 28:19Speaker 1: and put the bridge on it and call it cool
- 28:21Speaker 1: because it was the clouds over the bridge or whatever.
- 28:23Speaker 1: They say. This one's better than that.
- 28:25Speaker 2: But oh yeah, I like this one way better. I'm
- 28:28Speaker 2: looking now, I was like, I don't even remember that one. Yeah,
- 28:30Speaker 2: it was pretty forgettable. This one's way better.
- 28:32Speaker 1: This one's way better. Some of these teams have done
- 28:34Speaker 1: better with their second ones. And there's a team that,
- 28:36Speaker 1: if the leak is real, has done way worse with theirs.
- 28:40Speaker 1: The White like the White Sox. They're just like, okay,
- 28:43Speaker 1: so we know we'd like the Bulls and we're run
- 28:45Speaker 1: by the same people. We're just gonna make a Bulls
- 28:47Speaker 1: White Sox jersey. Colt City.
- 28:49Speaker 2: You don't like basketball jerseys being worn.
- 28:51Speaker 1: They give away one every year. They give give a
- 28:53Speaker 1: Black Hawks White Sox jersey. They give away a Bulls
- 28:55Speaker 1: White Sox jers every year. So this year they're like,
- 28:58Speaker 1: we're just gonna sell them now instead of giving them away.
- 29:00Speaker 2: You wouldn't think when you were on the White Sox
- 29:02Speaker 2: you wore a Bulls tribute jersey. Why in the game.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Are the Are the Bulls gonna wear a White Sox
- 29:08Speaker 1: tribute jersey? Maybe no, No, Jordan ran the town for
- 29:14Speaker 1: a long time. It was a long time ago, I know,
- 29:16Speaker 1: thirty years ago. Now they were tough times. They're trying
- 29:19Speaker 1: to bring it back. But you see what I'm saying,
- 29:20Speaker 1: like that was that is the one that that is
- 29:22Speaker 1: the leak, and that's the real jersey. Crawds. That is
- 29:25Speaker 1: like the most unimaginative thing I've ever seen in my life.
- 29:28Speaker 1: They literally like I're just gonna take the giveaway jersey
- 29:31Speaker 1: and making a real jersey and selling and people buy
- 29:33Speaker 1: it because let's be honest, the White Sox City Connects
- 29:36Speaker 1: were the first ones and they're still the best one.
- 29:38Speaker 2: They're really good.
- 29:38Speaker 1: But the South Side nothing fit more than black in
- 29:41Speaker 1: the Gray. I mean, it was like the perfect jersey.
- 29:44Speaker 1: Now they're like, oh no, we're gonna go to the Bulls.
- 29:47Speaker 1: It's like, we're just making a Bulls jersey.
- 29:52Speaker 2: So let's cover some games from yesterday and we can
- 29:55Speaker 2: mix in what's going on today too, because the Marlinton
- 29:57Speaker 2: Mats are already at it again today and it is brutal.
- 30:01Speaker 2: It is so cold up north right now. It is
- 30:03Speaker 2: like thick of winter in April, and they're playing that game.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Nothing nothing in the fourth. Anyway, yesterday Mets beat the Marlins,
- 30:11Speaker 2: and Gary Cohen, the play by play guy, who I
- 30:15Speaker 2: would say is a legend for Mets fans. They've got
- 30:17Speaker 2: a great broadcast booth. He was ripping up Marlin's manager
- 30:21Speaker 2: Clayton McCullough for the way that he was aligning his
- 30:23Speaker 2: defense in a one run game. Bases loaded Pete Alonso
- 30:26Speaker 2: at the plate, one out, They bring in the infield
- 30:30Speaker 2: and Alonso gets one through, and they were like, what
- 30:33Speaker 2: are we doing? You know, you're trying to go against.
- 30:35Speaker 1: What three one over? The outfielders said for the gap,
- 30:38Speaker 1: like there ain't no infield defense stopping that. Oh oh
- 30:40Speaker 1: it was a gapper, yeah, freaking rocket all like a triple.
- 30:45Speaker 1: I mean, not for Pete, but like, oh smash, like
- 30:48Speaker 1: they could have unless they had the infield in the outfield,
- 30:50Speaker 1: they weren't catching up ball.
- 30:52Speaker 2: So do you think that he was too critical of
- 30:55Speaker 2: Clayton McCullough's decision, give me the manager side of things.
- 30:59Speaker 1: In my in my opinion, Pete doesn't hit the ball
- 31:02Speaker 1: hard on the ground. When he hits it, it goes in
- 31:04Speaker 1: the air, right, So you're thinking like we'll turn two,
- 31:06Speaker 1: but you're also already down a run, so you're trying
- 31:08Speaker 1: not to give up any more runs. God forbid, he
- 31:10Speaker 1: hits a slow roller and you're not able to turn two.
- 31:12Speaker 1: You only get one, you give up the run. So
- 31:13Speaker 1: I see what he was trying to do. Where the
- 31:17Speaker 1: center fielder was positioned. Now we could talk about that.
- 31:19Speaker 1: He was like a deep second base. That's why the
- 31:20Speaker 1: ball got to all the way to the wall and
- 31:22Speaker 1: scored three runs. That one you can talk about. But
- 31:24Speaker 1: to say you had the infield in, like, no one
- 31:26Speaker 1: gets on Joe Torrey for having the infield in when
- 31:28Speaker 1: Lougan's al said a ball that didn't even get to
- 31:30Speaker 1: the outfield and it was won the World Series against
- 31:32Speaker 1: mo who doesn't give up hard contact on the ground either, Right,
- 31:36Speaker 1: So we brought the infield in thinking like, if he's
- 31:38Speaker 1: gonna get jammed, we got to get the play at
- 31:39Speaker 1: the play because we're not gonna throw. We're not gonna
- 31:41Speaker 1: be able to turn too. So listen, I never questioned
- 31:45Speaker 1: when you're trying to avoid giving up runs, because you
- 31:49Speaker 1: always have to try to stop the other team when
- 31:51Speaker 1: you're pitching. So to me, I think, yeah, listen, he
- 31:54Speaker 1: gave his opinion. Good for you, Gary, But you know,
- 31:57Speaker 1: I think you can make an argument that Clayton McCall
- 31:59Speaker 1: in this case, but the infield was fine. I would agree.
- 32:03Speaker 3: I would agree because in the situation, the Marlins are
- 32:05Speaker 3: also not scoring a lot of runs. You got to
- 32:07Speaker 3: keep the game close. Midway through the game, you know,
- 32:10Speaker 3: maybe early you'll try to stay back for the double play.
- 32:14Speaker 3: But it's also it's also a percentage play. Peter Lonso
- 32:17Speaker 3: wants to hit the ball in the air. If he
- 32:19Speaker 3: hits it on the ground, he doesn't hit into a
- 32:22Speaker 3: lot of double plays. He's not just a truck out
- 32:26Speaker 3: there running to first base. He's already this year beaten
- 32:30Speaker 3: out four infield ground balls that could have been double plays.
- 32:35Speaker 3: He's already had fielders' choices on those. So you're looking
- 32:40Speaker 3: to you're going on percentage basis of what he's been doing,
- 32:44Speaker 3: and you want him to put the ball on the ground.
- 32:46Speaker 3: The infield back there you could have played the infield
- 32:48Speaker 3: halfway in the outfield. It wouldn't have mattered. He smashed
- 32:52Speaker 3: the ball. Your pitcher needs to make the pitch, and
- 32:54Speaker 3: you got to set your defense a lah, Andrew Jones,
- 32:57Speaker 3: a lah, Greg Maddox, all those guys, they set their
- 33:00Speaker 3: defense based on where the pitcher's supposed to make the pitch.
- 33:05Speaker 3: Pete waffled it to me. I would have had the
- 33:07Speaker 3: infield in there too, especially with the team that you're
- 33:10Speaker 3: at now. If they're playing the Dodgers or something. Now,
- 33:13Speaker 3: the Dodgers probably don't have the infield in They're like, hey,
- 33:15Speaker 3: you know what, we're gonna be back. We're gonna make
- 33:17Speaker 3: sure we get one out. We can come back down
- 33:19Speaker 3: two runs in the fifth or sixth inning. Marlins don't
- 33:23Speaker 3: have that luxury. So he's got to push the limit.
- 33:25Speaker 3: And I disagree with Gary. It doesn't make him a
- 33:28Speaker 3: bad announcer. I just disagree with him in this situation.
- 33:31Speaker 2: Okay, that's good to know, because yeah, I mean I agreed.
- 33:35Speaker 1: I think Gary is great. I think their broadcast is great.
- 33:37Speaker 2: Yeah, And I like when you gotta rip fast going
- 33:41Speaker 2: like and even if if you disagree, then great because
- 33:45Speaker 2: him doing that gets it onto the show.
- 33:48Speaker 1: Right.
- 33:48Speaker 2: If he doesn't go like that, it's not getting talked about.
- 33:51Speaker 2: And he was going in he's like I I mean,
- 33:54Speaker 2: he essentially said, he's supremely disagreed.
- 33:56Speaker 3: If you want to rip, if you want to rip
- 33:58Speaker 3: a situation, rip the situation that they lined up on
- 34:02Speaker 3: the play later, I think it was sot to hit
- 34:04Speaker 3: a ball to the wall that the Marlins lined up
- 34:07Speaker 3: to go to second base when the play is going
- 34:09Speaker 3: to be at home. So the two the double cut
- 34:12Speaker 3: lined up two second base, which I'm not sure why
- 34:16Speaker 3: they're double cutting to second base on an automatic double
- 34:19Speaker 3: to the wall when they had a runner on first.
- 34:21Speaker 3: And then it was a bang bang play at the
- 34:23Speaker 3: plate after the relay safe now that you can, you know,
- 34:27Speaker 3: that's fundamental. It's team fundamentals. You got to be able
- 34:30Speaker 3: to make sure you're in the right position. Could have
- 34:33Speaker 3: cost him a run. It was bang bang. I think
- 34:34Speaker 3: lind d'Or was trying. I think Lindor scored, or maybe
- 34:37Speaker 3: it was Luis Anhel I'm I'm one hundred percent sure,
- 34:39Speaker 3: but they didn't. They lined up the second and not home.
- 34:45Speaker 2: All right, we'reth the discussion. Who just wanted to get
- 34:47Speaker 2: your thoughts on what's going on there? How did you
- 34:51Speaker 2: do with cold weather?
- 34:51Speaker 1: By the way, I hated it, but I got through
- 34:54Speaker 1: it right enough. Listen, you made enough cold weather gear
- 34:57Speaker 1: and I got through it. I I had There was
- 35:00Speaker 1: a company that we used to use in Chicago called
- 35:03Speaker 1: hot Chilis, which is like a skiing company. Yeah, I
- 35:05Speaker 1: know that we would wear those underneath. Listen. I always
- 35:09Speaker 1: played better. I always felt better when it was warmer.
- 35:11Speaker 1: But you got you just kind of got through the
- 35:12Speaker 1: cold weather games and we're just hoping that, man, it's
- 35:15Speaker 1: gonna warm up soon. It'll be better. But yeah, there
- 35:17Speaker 1: was some There were some times.
- 35:19Speaker 3: We had a cold weather game yesterday and I had
- 35:21Speaker 3: a laugh because when I played, for some reason, sleeves
- 35:25Speaker 3: I hated. I tried every kind of sleeve tight, just
- 35:28Speaker 3: a little shorter, you know, a longer sleeve, thicker. I
- 35:33Speaker 3: never liked sleeves in my arm, so I never played
- 35:35Speaker 3: with sleeves. But I was never like, man, my arms
- 35:37Speaker 3: are cold while i'm catching, you stay warm catching. Yesterday,
- 35:41Speaker 3: we had a game here at high school for the
- 35:43Speaker 3: high school team in pa I think it was forty
- 35:46Speaker 3: two degrees. It was like twenty to thirty mile hour wins.
- 35:50Speaker 3: It was miserable to coach in. I put a kid
- 35:52Speaker 3: in because we were winning twelve to nothing. I put
- 35:55Speaker 3: a kid in and he takes his sweatshirt off. He
- 35:58Speaker 3: goes out to the third base and he has this
- 36:02Speaker 3: piece of paper sitting on his chest and I'm like,
- 36:04Speaker 3: what on earth does he have? It was one of
- 36:06Speaker 3: those stick stick heating pads that like, you know, the
- 36:11Speaker 3: ones that you have small ones for your hands. Well,
- 36:13Speaker 3: I guess they make them. I didn't know they made
- 36:15Speaker 3: them that he stuck to his jersey and had his
- 36:19Speaker 3: sweatshirt on over top of it, and he didn't realize
- 36:22Speaker 3: he was coming in the game, so he had he
- 36:25Speaker 3: had this like it basically looked like a piece of
- 36:27Speaker 3: paper like like this just like stuck to his jersey
- 36:32Speaker 3: while he's playing.
- 36:33Speaker 1: So there's different ways to stay warm. That's not one
- 36:37Speaker 1: of them.
- 36:38Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a weird one. But you know,
- 36:40Speaker 2: you try anything these days. I want to get to
- 36:46Speaker 2: a couple of things from yesterday. Actually, So Pirates are
- 36:48Speaker 2: playing right now. I think they just got their first
- 36:50Speaker 2: knock in the sixth seventh.
- 36:52Speaker 1: In the seventh it wasn't but it didn't count because
- 36:56Speaker 1: Fetti started and he made it through six and they
- 36:57Speaker 1: brought a different picture, so it doesn't count.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Right. It wasn't no hit or watch with the same picture.
- 37:02Speaker 2: The combined stuff's not as cool anyway. Yesterday skids looked humid.
- 37:07Speaker 1: Schemes not Yeah, the Cardinals own schemes. Cardinals. Cardinals. They
- 37:14Speaker 1: said they can't hit. They can hit skeens. They might
- 37:15Speaker 1: they must like they like it. The splinker.
- 37:17Speaker 2: Is there something they're doing. They didn't have any homers.
- 37:20Speaker 1: No, they just put good at bats on them. It's
- 37:22Speaker 1: kind of like I remember back in the day when
- 37:23Speaker 1: when they said the Cardinals had something on Kershaw and
- 37:25Speaker 1: I played for the Cardinals and we didn't have anything Kershaw.
- 37:27Speaker 1: They just knew they just could hit them. I don't
- 37:29Speaker 1: know why. They just knew how to hit them. And
- 37:31Speaker 1: it's kind of the same thing. I don't know. Maybe
- 37:33Speaker 1: they get up for the maybe they get up for
- 37:34Speaker 1: the skiings games. But skins don't like you the Cardinals.
- 37:39Speaker 1: That's okay.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Everybody needs one. That way, it makes it look like
- 37:43Speaker 3: he's human. And they don't go out.
- 37:44Speaker 1: And punch tickets.
- 37:46Speaker 3: He's think he's still had seven punches, but they hit
- 37:49Speaker 3: some balls hard, they ran the basis schemes. Like you said,
- 37:53Speaker 3: I'm not gonna let it bout it. I'm not gonna
- 37:55Speaker 3: lose sleep over it.
- 37:57Speaker 2: Yeah, career high, five earned run and six hits in
- 38:02Speaker 2: that one. They had a three run inning. He had
- 38:04Speaker 2: never given up three runs in an inning.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Well, because that's what they did though, they just I
- 38:08Speaker 1: watched some of that inning. They've just put it bats
- 38:10Speaker 1: on them, are and I don't have just a nasty
- 38:13Speaker 1: about on them. They just put it bats on them.
- 38:15Speaker 1: They put the ball in play they didn't. You know,
- 38:16Speaker 1: seven strikeouts is good, but not great for Paul Skins.
- 38:19Speaker 1: I mean, we're worried about the Yankees. They can't score either.
- 38:24Speaker 2: They can and they can't are My thing is, I.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Mean you get Scoobal Flaherty in Detroit when it's a
- 38:29Speaker 1: little chili. That's a tough that's the thing. That's a
- 38:32Speaker 1: tough couple of days. Kids.
- 38:33Speaker 2: And the Tigers are good. I'm telling you they are
- 38:36Speaker 2: damn good. That's a good pitching staff. Did you see
- 38:39Speaker 2: miz the other day?
- 38:41Speaker 1: And who do you do that against?
- 38:43Speaker 2: Okay, fair, we'll tune up the White.
- 38:46Speaker 1: Sox, but who he play doesn't matter, right, Scott.
- 38:49Speaker 2: No matter. I'll be more impressed if he does it
- 38:52Speaker 2: against the Twins. Then the Twins huh, well that's one
- 38:57Speaker 2: step and seven white, so we're gonna talk about them soon.
- 39:00Speaker 2: And then another step up would be Cleveland in casey anyway, Yeah,
- 39:05Speaker 2: the Tigers have flarerty on the mound, punching tickets left
- 39:08Speaker 2: and right too, Because do not think that Jack Flaherty
- 39:13Speaker 2: doesn't have last year on his mind when he's facing
- 39:16Speaker 2: the His back seems very very fine. Come on, I mean,
- 39:21Speaker 2: you guys, put me in his situation if you were
- 39:24Speaker 2: him last year. The Yankees say no and lead. He
- 39:29Speaker 2: went to the right spot. He's on the right spot. Now,
- 39:32Speaker 2: he's gotten paid, he got his ring. But still aren't
- 39:35Speaker 2: you on a vendetta against the team that said, nah,
- 39:39Speaker 2: damage goods and it gets public. I mean, that's that's
- 39:43Speaker 2: your business, right, that's your LLC. They tarnished his name
- 39:49Speaker 2: for a moment in time. They did, and other teams
- 39:52Speaker 2: also follow suit with teams that lead the pack in
- 39:56Speaker 2: certain categories, right, they shouldn't. Necessarily, it's not. The Yanks
- 40:00Speaker 2: have been evaluating players better on the medical side. But
- 40:03Speaker 2: I do believe that there are teams that are like, oh,
- 40:05Speaker 2: the Yankee said no, so our doc say was okay,
- 40:08Speaker 2: but we're careful.
- 40:10Speaker 3: That's that's weak on the other teams. That's weak on
- 40:13Speaker 3: the other teams.
- 40:14Speaker 2: Other teams copycat the crap out of out of certain.
- 40:18Speaker 3: I'm not saying they don't. I'm saying that's weak. The
- 40:21Speaker 3: Yankees had an evaluation, and if another team's like, I
- 40:25Speaker 3: don't know, Like the Yankees, they do their due diligence.
- 40:29Speaker 1: I know that.
- 40:31Speaker 3: I know those guys. I know what they went through
- 40:33Speaker 3: for the Juan Soto trade. Like they have to do
- 40:36Speaker 3: their due diligence. They stay up hours pouring through stuff.
- 40:40Speaker 3: Didn't come back, it didn't come back.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Well, I don't. I don't know.
- 40:43Speaker 3: I mean I think I think if another team is like, oh,
- 40:46Speaker 3: the Yankees said no, we're just we're just gonna stay out,
- 40:51Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, Dodgers did pretty decent last year,
- 40:54Speaker 3: and they were like, we're willing to take the chance.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Well, the part last year that I didn't get was
- 41:00Speaker 2: it was for a few months. You weren't taking on
- 41:02Speaker 2: a contract for years. If you were that concerned, I
- 41:07Speaker 2: didn't want to give up anything.
- 41:08Speaker 1: It was half year, didn want to give any place.
- 41:10Speaker 1: By the way, my pitching the Yankees say, get it right,
- 41:14Speaker 1: It wasn't against that. He just pitched just the other day.
- 41:17Speaker 1: I knew you would say that because I knew that
- 41:18Speaker 1: you would say that. He thought that he pitched against
- 41:20Speaker 1: the White Sox, but he pitched against the Yankees and
- 41:22Speaker 1: pitch that's that's really rude. What because I knew you
- 41:24Speaker 1: would say the White Sox.
- 41:25Speaker 5: I knew it, and I was just waiting for But
- 41:28Speaker 5: then I had the real story. Is the real story true?
- 41:34Speaker 5: You guys think he's back hopefully, I mean now right.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Now, using my crappy offenses.
- 41:41Speaker 1: Oh he didn't he beat the Yankees on Monday.
- 41:44Speaker 2: His first start was against Seattle. Oh, yes, he did
- 41:47Speaker 2: beat the Yankees on Monday. But I thought you were
- 41:49Speaker 2: talking about the prior anyway, go ahead, crats, Yes I was.
- 41:52Speaker 1: No. Torkleson's back right now. Listen.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Baseball is about opportunity. I said it after opening. Hey,
- 42:00Speaker 3: people are like h who cares one game, one homer,
- 42:02Speaker 3: four walks, whatever, It's your opportunity, and he is taking them.
- 42:08Speaker 3: He is taking his opportunity and running with it. Is
- 42:11Speaker 3: he gonna be an all star. I don't know, but
- 42:13Speaker 3: this isn't just some like fly by the seat of
- 42:16Speaker 3: his pants guy. This is a thirty home run in
- 42:18Speaker 3: the big league's hitter.
- 42:20Speaker 1: So is he back. I don't know.
- 42:23Speaker 3: You will know by halfway through the season, but he's
- 42:27Speaker 3: back right now.
- 42:32Speaker 2: Yeah. I think that team's gonna be really good. Ft fam,

- 43:45Speaker 2: falling with this anchor character on the Blue Jays making
- 43:49Speaker 2: a name for himself Easton. That's exactly Easton, Edgar Sonny
- 43:57Speaker 2: Gray didn't hit a strikeout prop for Kratz. Good for Cam.
- 44:01Speaker 1: He pulled the presidsk he pulled them one of me.
- 44:03Speaker 2: That's what you do kids, plus four to twenty five
- 44:06Speaker 2: to get himself up one twenty five on the.
- 44:09Speaker 1: Sweat too kind of nose sweat.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Yeah, Clay hitting his strikeouts and Pete got his RBI
- 44:15Speaker 2: for him, so good for Cam.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Everybody has at dinner for two.
- 44:21Speaker 2: Giggity giggity, I'm up, giggity. Everybody's out except for except
- 44:29Speaker 2: for Crats.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Eric.
- 44:30Speaker 2: You do yours, AJ and I will do ours the
- 44:33Speaker 2: next person.
- 44:33Speaker 3: I'm way down. I'm way down, but I don't see
- 44:36Speaker 3: how the Dodgers get swept. So I took the money
- 44:38Speaker 3: line for the Dodgers. I see them winning, and I
- 44:43Speaker 3: also have the over in the Grant Homes Taiwan Walker
- 44:48Speaker 3: matchup down in Atlanta. So the over I think is
- 44:51Speaker 3: that they got bought at eight and a half, so
- 44:54Speaker 3: need some runs. It's plus one eighty five putting one
- 44:57Speaker 3: hundred down, need to get back into slowly but surely.
- 45:03Speaker 2: Okay, I'll actually do mine because Aja's apparently is super long,
- 45:06Speaker 2: so we'll give him the next one. So but mine
- 45:09Speaker 2: plays off what Kratz said. I just go Dodgers. I'm
- 45:12Speaker 2: just picking that game run line, though, two runs are more.
- 45:16Speaker 2: Please get seen Land and Kanak against Jake Irban. Jake,
- 45:22Speaker 2: Jake Irban's pretty good, I mean not yet so far
- 45:24Speaker 2: this year. I think he's got a five something in
- 45:26Speaker 2: the ra we just started. But Pazers are a better team.
- 45:30Speaker 2: I'll take them on a run line to win on
- 45:32Speaker 2: getaway Day. And Nack's good too, Like Robleski didn't pitch
- 45:36Speaker 2: well yesterday, Na's better, better stuff. That's pretty good.
- 45:40Speaker 1: He could.
- 45:40Speaker 2: He could be a starter in a normal rotation that
- 45:42Speaker 2: doesn't have ninety starters, although they're gonna kind of need
- 45:45Speaker 2: him now start now.
- 45:47Speaker 1: I know he is.
- 45:48Speaker 6: Starting flat today, I'm just picking and Parlay's pay off
- 45:54Speaker 6: to me.
- 45:54Speaker 1: Well, so I might change my name, but anyway, I
- 45:57Speaker 1: got to pick them for you today.
- 45:59Speaker 6: Yes, today, lock today, another lot, baby, let's go so
- 46:05Speaker 6: uh picked today. You already know Logan Alley pitched against
- 46:09Speaker 6: the Chicago White Sox from the South Side.
- 46:13Speaker 2: Gotta go with the Guardian's baby.
- 46:15Speaker 1: It's a lot too. We're gonna put two hundred on it.
- 46:19Speaker 2: Cash it in peace.
- 46:23Speaker 1: You know he's gonna lose. Well, one, he's picking against
- 46:25Speaker 1: the White Sox. Two. That tired jacket he had on,
- 46:28Speaker 1: Like you know, I got a kid that goes to
- 46:29Speaker 1: Mississippi State, and I know he's a Mississippi State legend,
- 46:31Speaker 1: but like what even brand was that Jack? Like that
- 46:34Speaker 1: wasn't tom No, I don't know what that was, but
- 46:37Speaker 1: it I mean that thing was that wasn't Star that
- 46:42Speaker 1: one Nike that one adds that was like bootleg. Yeah,
- 46:47Speaker 1: it was seriously like Pat found that somewhere in Mississippi.

- 48:15Speaker 2: Ruth collapse at a nightclub October Octavia at Hotel Nelson
- 48:20Speaker 2: Cruz's sister Tony Blanco among others that passed. And I
- 48:24Speaker 2: know you obviously played with Octavio and he was a
- 48:27Speaker 2: fun guy.
- 48:28Speaker 1: Oh man, Uh, listen, awful news. Let me just say awful,
- 48:33Speaker 1: absolutely awful, heartbreaking news about you know, people that passed away.
- 48:37Speaker 1: Not even I'm not even talking about the baseball family.
- 48:39Speaker 1: I'm talking about just people in general. For something like
- 48:41Speaker 1: this to happen, it's just awful. Uh. Prayers up for
- 48:45Speaker 1: the Dominican and all the people there and all the
- 48:47Speaker 1: people that have lost loved ones. They're still looking for
- 48:49Speaker 1: loved ones. But you know, we are a baseball show
- 48:53Speaker 1: in Blanco, and then Nelson Cruz's sister apparently was there,
- 48:56Speaker 1: and Pedro Martinez had some people that he knows there,
- 48:59Speaker 1: and then obviously Octavio. But I first saw Octavo in
- 49:03Speaker 1: like nineteen ninety seven, nineteen ninety eight when he was
- 49:05Speaker 1: with the Mets, and I remember he pitched against us
- 49:07Speaker 1: in Binghamton an opening day, and I think we beat him,
- 49:10Speaker 1: and he was like on the Pedro Martinez of the
- 49:12Speaker 1: Eastern League, and we all kind of laughed, and he
- 49:15Speaker 1: always had the smile on his face. And then he
- 49:17Speaker 1: turned out to be not so bad that I got
- 49:21Speaker 1: to play with him for a couple of years in Chicago,
- 49:22Speaker 1: and this dude was one of the funniest, happiest dudes
- 49:24Speaker 1: of all. You blow a three run lean, he'd laugh
- 49:27Speaker 1: about it. He'd be like, Ah, it's okay, guys, we'll
- 49:29Speaker 1: get it tomorrow. He'd always take the lake bus. He'd
- 49:31Speaker 1: walk in the clubhouse. First thing, he'd say, his buzs
- 49:33Speaker 1: is here, the buzz is here, and yelling we're already
- 49:36Speaker 1: like three hours into our prep and he walks in.
- 49:38Speaker 1: He was he walked all, you know, duck footed, and
- 49:41Speaker 1: he'd walk home, walking in and like his Louis Vauton
- 49:44Speaker 1: perfect Alfred be like, buzz is here, and everyone else
- 49:47Speaker 1: is like, oh my gosh. But I mean that was
- 49:49Speaker 1: just the way he did it, And I know, crap.
- 49:51Speaker 1: You got to play with him too. He was just
- 49:52Speaker 1: an awesome guy man and a great teammate, just fun
- 49:55Speaker 1: to be around, always smile and always laughing, no matter
- 49:57Speaker 1: how crazy he was. He was always always laughing.
- 50:00Speaker 3: He had a good perspective on life in baseball, that's
- 50:03Speaker 3: not that big of a deal. He always took a
- 50:05Speaker 3: bucket of balls to warm up before games. Said, Bobby,
- 50:08Speaker 3: I can't make the team playing catch. Worst catch player
- 50:11Speaker 3: I ever seen.
