• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You know, cheering on your team's really all you can do.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, obviously, just keeping the clubhouse in a
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: good atmosphere, and Cowser does a really good job of that.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: All right, here's a little update on Blake's snell. He
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: did wind up receiving a pain killing injection in his
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: left shoulder. According to manager Dave Roberts, no timetable for
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: him or for Blake trying to both are shut down
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: from throwing, so it could be a minute.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Again. Get him ready for October.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but the shoulder's tough. Shoulder is a tough one.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Pain killing injection, I don't know. It just seems like
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I've ever really heard somebody classify
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: it as a pain killing injection. Got an injection to
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: take care of an issue in the shoulder, But I
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: don't know, it just sounds sounds more ominous. Maybe I'm
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: making too much out of it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is that a quarterstone?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm assuming.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't usually see it phrased that one.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: That's I'm assuming you had cortisone shots in your career. No, no,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: me either. I never had one. I watched a lot
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of common, right. I watched a lot of guys get them,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: but I never got one.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: In the trainers room, some guys were.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: You can't get, you can't get, you can't.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Like every day. But I'm saying some guys every what
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a couple of months, you can get one.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. N Erko used to get one in his thumb
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: before every season at the All Star break, okay, because
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: he got jammed and he used back and break and
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: so he had to.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Isn't it usually more of a band aid? This is
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: where we're just going to play doctor for a minute.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Why not? But it's it's more of a band aid.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I don't think it necessarily fixes an issue. I don't know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't fix it.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it helps you free.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: Is the number where guys were they're like, look, we'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: do We'll do two in an area, you know, in
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: the shoulder where it's like cute little injury. But they say,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: once you get three, now, all of a sudden, you're
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: really masking what's going on. And I think it starts
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to deteriorate that area. So you don't I don't necessarily
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: know that guys are just lining up for quarter zone.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: It's more like what AJ said, Canerica would get.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Guys would get tortle a lot. Oh yeah, that's starting
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: at starting pictures again when every time they started. Wow,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: really some of them teams day teams did stop doing it,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: but they would get them once every fifth day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Football players do it. I mean it's like everybody, but
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: like six or seven guys in the roster they do
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: it before games. Now that is a that's a difference maker.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Oriel starter. Grayson Rodriguez on FT right now, Grayson, good
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: to see you. I like to mention this. You know, uh,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: some guys join us anytime throughout the season. You're one
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: of them. We really appreciate it. Your g for coming
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: on even when you're trying to rehab and get back going.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: So and it means a lot of Orioles fans too.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So dude, how you doing, how you feeling? What's the update?
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I appreciate I appreciate that very much. Is everyone's microphone's working?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Because I know we had some trouble with that as
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: spring training.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, j Kratz, Mine, mine's great.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Finally, all right, mikes are good? Wait why you want
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to make sure you hear all of us?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It also was month sooning that day. It was months
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: sooning that day, let's not forget.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, showed up finally for the first time.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I missed y'all, you know, two years ago.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And then the first time I get to go on
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: foul Territory in person. You know, we have technical issues.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I think it was Kratz or somebody gave me their microphone,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: so didn't get the full experience.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I gave it to you.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I get I shared with you. I get the full experience.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: So it was one hundred percent Mark's fault. But now
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: we got the full experience.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Well then will you just blame it on Mark? That'll
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: work perfect.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: But speaking of sharing, well, speaking of sharing, I'm going
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to be in Baltimore this weekend. So where are you
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: taking me out to dinner to share your money with you?
• 4:06

  Speaker 2: Surely Saturday.

• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I need to check. Let me, let me check my seat,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: let me check my schedule. See if I can pencil
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you in or something. Make room for you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: But what do you have to do? You're on the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You're on the I L. And I mean that night
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: you're on the you.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Might think, well, obviously you may know if you've ever
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: spent any time on the I L. I mean, you're
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not playing games, but there's a lot of work that
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: you're doing trying to get back out there on the field,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: because obviously that's goal number one and most important. So
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, my days have been pretty busy trying to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: get back out there doing everything I can.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: All right, walk me through it. Walk me through why
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: you can't buy me dinner.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Well, there's a handful of reasons. But listen, I'll buy
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you dinner, all right. We'll just give that to you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: We'll just make it easy.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: But I want to hear about it because most people
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: don't know what your day is. So talk to me,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: walk me through your Yeah, walk me through a typical
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: grace in Rodriguez day.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: All right, So this morning, woke up about eight o'clock, got,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, cook myself breakfast, go to the stadium, start
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: doing all my treatments and my rehab workouts and stuff.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Get a lift in, you know, hop on the bike,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: run condition. But I'd say there's a lot of different
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: recovery exercises and whatnot. You know, like I said, you
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: get a treatment in the training room with the physical therapists,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: trying to get all your work done. You know, obviously
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: before the guys starts showing up for the game. That
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: way you can get out of the training room and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: kind of not being their hair when they're getting ready
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: for the game. But the chaunting right now, a lot
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of a lot of treatments, a lot of armcare exercises.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We'll start throwing here in the next couple weeks, so
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: trying to get ready for that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Crats. Let's talk about the number one recommended dermatologist hair
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: growth supplement brand. And it's a brand that you are
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: just starting your journey with.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I'm using what about one and a half two months
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: into my journey. It's a six month journey. See where,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: see what I can get? See a little thicker, fuller everywhere,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: filling it out. I don't know, we'll see what happens.

  Speaker 2: R A s O L dot com promo code foul.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: That's neutrafold dot com promo code foul.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Is it so much stuff that? Because I remember when
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: people started, like coming back from Tommy John's surgery, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: they were like, well, it's not the surgery, it's all
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the exercises that guys do before. So guys started doing
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: all those post surgery exercises before. Is all the stuff
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: that you have to do on this daily basis as
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: you're coming back from a rehab Would you be able
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: to do that while you're healthy to prevent injuries, because
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: we're always talking about ways to prevent injuries.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. You know, I know there's some guys
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that do, like Tommy John rehabs in the offseason even
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: though they don't have the surgery, because I think a
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: lot of times, you know, with TJ or any kind
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of other injury. You know, sometimes when guys come back
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: and they start playing, they actually start throwing harder than
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: what they did before. And a lot of that is
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: part or to to the like the rehab program, like
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: obviously strengthening your rotator cuff, you know, your scap. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things that go into it.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: But yeah, some guys will do a lot of like
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: rehab programs for their shoulder work and stuff in the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: off season, kind of like a prehab type deal.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Obviously, you know, when you're hurt, nobody wants to be
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: hurt that you have to do it to try to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: rehab and get your muscles back and good to go.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean it's a lot of it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of different stuff trying to strengthen those muscles
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: so it doesn't happen again. And I think right now,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like you know, we've been kind of looking at you know,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: biomechanics data, different things to see kind of why maybe
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: some injuries are happening and how we can eliminate that.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, just try to get back
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: on the field as soon as possible.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Grayson, did you see the Blake Snell update where he
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: took a shot in his shoulder with it what was
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: it called a pain reducer shot or pain killing shot
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: or his pain killing injection in his left shoulder? Is
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: that basically a coon shot? And are those still commonplace?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Because they weren't that common when I played, but guys
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: did get them. Is that something that you've talked possibly about.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, yeah, they're still pretty common. I know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: guys get you know, a handful of different injections during
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the season, especially guys if they've got, you know, something
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: that's been bugging on. I know, you know, I think
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it's most common with guys that have back issues. See
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that a lot obviously, getting injections. I had a cordzone
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: injection in spring training for for in my elbow had
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: some tricep inflammation that you know, flared up on me
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: that caused me to go on the aisle the first time.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But I was able to get a cordzone injection, got
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that under control, and then you know, obviously kind of
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: building up, get off the mound for the rehab stuff.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: And then you know, having a minor lad issue, you know,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: no injections for that or anything, just letting that rest
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and rehabbing that and you know, go at it again.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely, guys, definitely guys still get get a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: lot of injections.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's still a very common thing.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: All right. So overall, Grayson, where you at as far
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: as timetable, how you're feeling, you know, do you put
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a certain date in your mind where you're like, I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: feel like, if things line up correctly, this is when
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I can be back on a mound.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I right now obviously don't really know anything.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: There's not really a hard calendar. I think with a
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: kind of a lats soft tissue injury, I think a
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: lot of it goes off how you feel being asymptomatic.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, you have to hit step one
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to get to step two. You know, I think if
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you start really looking ahead, I don't know, sometimes it
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't always work out the way you want it to.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: But like I'm saying, you know, you don't want to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: you don't want to get a timetable in your head.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: That way, you know, you start worrying about four or five,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: six weeks down the road when you need to be
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: worried about today, and then when tomorrow gets here, you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: start focusing on tomorrow. That's kind of the mindset that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I've been in that really helps me through a time
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: like this because obviously, you know, nobody wants to be
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: on the il, but you know importantly you got to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: take it, take it one step at a time, one
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: day at a time, doing everything you can you know
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: today to make yourself better for tomorrow. And then you know,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: if tomorrow, you know, means you get to pick up
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the baseball, then great, If not, you know, you keep doing,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: keep doing your steps until you get there.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: It's hard to transition from one thing to the next,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: but I'm gonna try here. While you're getting treatment, you
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: got a lot of hands on you, like they're like
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: massage and your elbow, shoulder latt all that stuff. What
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: do you think about the in the last year, actually
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: half a season, starting back with Mookie Betts and the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: fan that ripped the ball out of the glove, then
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Mike Trout that interaction, and then most recently Tommy FAM's
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: interaction where the fan touched him. What do you think
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: do we need to as Baseball as Players Association protect
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: players more in the sense that like there's fans that
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: are getting close and we haven't had any big time
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: issues yet.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously, see that's something that I think
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: we need to start paying attention to because you're kind
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of seeing a trend of that happening obviously. Yeah, you
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: go back to Bets last year and the fan ripping
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the ball out of the glove. Whether it's intentional or
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: not intentional, it's really you know, hard to say because
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: you know, you weren't there, but I mean, I don't
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: know it does it looks very suspicious? Yeah, and then
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: with obviously Trout going to catch the ball. You know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: whether that's like I said, intentional and intentional, I don't know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's definitely not good for the players.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You know, if a fan is going to try to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: grab you know, their arm or their hand or their
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: wrists in any way, because obviously, you know, there could
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: be some injury there. You know, maybe there's you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: maybe a guy's battling a hand issue or maybe you
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: know he's had something wrong with his hand, goes to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: catch a foul ball and you know, a fan punches
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: him in the hand or something, you know, trying to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: catch it. You know, it could really jack him up.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But uh, I don't know. Yeah, it's definitely kind of odd.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: You know, if I went over to the to the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: side to make a play and you know, somebody touched
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: or grab my jersey, I definitely wouldn't like it. You know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I probably say something to them. So yeah, there's you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: can't really blame guys for, you know, chirping back at
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the fans. But I don't know, I think, you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the fans also need to respect the players too. Just
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously you go to the game when to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: catch a foul ball, like that's great. I remember I
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: brought my glove to the game and stuff. I'd be
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing. But yeah, I think I think
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: we can tone the aggression down just a little bit.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: All right, So you love talking smack, and I'm sure
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: fans have talked smack to you. What's your favorite action
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: or the best interaction that you've had with a fan
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: who was talking smack Because I feel like, and maybe
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong, I feel like you would say something back
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: to these people.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's kind of funny, like I think,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you know, definitely the guys we have in Baltimore, like
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously Boston, New York. I mean, there's lots
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of places where you know, the fans are on you
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen, like Boston, you're very like the bullpens are,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you know, right there, the fans are on top of you.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: New York is kind of the same way. Like you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: they love to the Yankees, fans love to heckle or whatever.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: But I mean it's really the hardest part's not laughing,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: like when people are, you know, yelling at you, because
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of it is like it's funny.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: It's like I guess maybe they're trying to be you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: hurtful or negative, but I mean it's I don't know,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it's just pretty funny. We like, we like hearing the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: church because we'll definitely talk about them later and be like, ah,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you know that one was a good one or that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: one was funny. You know, I think you know, some
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: people actually you know, get mad and or yelling bad
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: things at you. Uh, but yeah, I mean it really
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't affect us a lot. I mean, I think it's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: it's pretty common coal to listen to some things we hear,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: you know, people chirping above the dug out, different things
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: like that. A lot of a lot of times it's bad,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: like not funny. But we always love it when somebody,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: somebody has a good one because it makes it makes
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: us laugh.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there's some really good creativity out there.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Make it funny. Please, you're gonna make it funny.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make it good, make it clever.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's agreed.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's the best.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Hey. So so let's talk about your ball club for
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: a minute here. Obviously it's not the dream start for
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: the Orioles. You're seeing every game, what are you seeing?
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: What do you think has been you know, the number
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: one reason why it's not a great start for the
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: ball club, And how do you think that gets fixed.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean obviously, you know, it's really hard to
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: put your finger on it. I think right now, obviously
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of outside noise. The clubhouse is still
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: good shape, you know. I think you know, everybody's doing well.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: It is hard when you're you know, you're not playing
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: as well as you should be. I mean, because obviously
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: we're not. And I think everybody knows that. You know,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: everybody's doing giving their one hundred and ten percent to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: go out there every night. Things just haven't really felt
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: our way to start off. But like I said, you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the coaches have been great. You know, everybody, everybody's doing
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: their part. You know, they're trying, They're nobody's really showing up,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you know, giving half effort. I think everybody's doing a
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: really good job of staying mentally locked in and just
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: going out there and grinding. I mean, it's a long season.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It's one hundred and sixty two games. There's a lot
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of baseball left. You know, it's it's hard to you know,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it's hard to say how things are going to go
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: after playing, you know, one month, because you know there's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: still a lot of ball left. But yeah, I mean,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Obviously we win last night, you know, trying
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to get it, trying to trying to just stack wins
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: right now, and I think it'll all even itself out
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: over the course of the long season. Obviously, we have
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: some guys on the il. You know, that never helps.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But I think, you know, when we start getting some
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: of those guys back and you know, we can start
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: stringing together some wins and you know, make a run
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: at this thing.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: When you heard the news about corbyn Burns four year,
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: one hundred and eighty million dollar offer from the Orioles,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: yes he turned it down. Yes, you know, he went
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: closer to home. But the fact that the Oriels were
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: willing to go the highest aa V does that make
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: the clubhouse excited about the fact that this new ownership
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: is like, we're willing to keep an ace here and
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: this is what we're willing to put out there or
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: is it a stink of ownership?
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Should have done more?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, obviously, you know, when you're in contention
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: for somebody like that, I mean, yeah, it makes you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: feel good, makes you seem like you're trying, So that's
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: always good. You know. Obviously, you know Burnsy the situation
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: that he is in in Arizona. I think is the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: most perfect situation for him and his family. So you
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: can't blame him at all, you know. I mean, it
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: would have been really hard to keep him here. You know,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: dollar amounts don't always matter to guys. You know. I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: think maybe some fans see it and it's like, well,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: just offering more money. Well, you know, I don't really
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: think there was a dollar amount they could have kept
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: him here just because of you know, he had just had,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: you know, twin girls, and you know, his he lives
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: in Arizona, lives in Phoenix. You know, he can He's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: probably one of the only baseball players unless you know,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure some other guys on the Diamondbacks that live
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: in Arizona, but I mean he's probably the only guy
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in the league. He gets to spend the whole season
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: twelve months you know, there. So yeah, I mean, you
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: can't blame him at all for doing that, But it
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is nice to know that, you know, we were in
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: contention for him, that you know, the front office and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: ownership was willing to go get a guy like that
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Grayson So apparently came out today that there was a
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: team meeting, were you in it. Do you know about it?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It sounds like one of your teammates said that everyone
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: just kind of aired it out a little bit, but
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: it might have just been on the position player side.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, position player side. You know obviously, you know, you
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: take some veterans that can run the meetings and stuff
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: like that. I mean, that's good. You know, that's kind
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: of saying like, you know, there's really no drama that's
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: happening in the clubhouse right now, which is good.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, maybe some teams that are losing
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: games kind of have a little bit of you know,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: extra drama, like right now, not really seeing that in
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse. So I think guys are really just trying
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. They're trying to come up with
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: different ways we can score runs, you know, kind of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: getting back to the basics. But yeah, I mean, you know,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: nothing crazy, nothing crazy happened. Like I said, dude, everybody's
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: in pretty good attitudes and you know, showing up to
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the park every day ready to play.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's not an excuse with players out because a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: lot of teams are missing people, but of course you're out.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I also wanted to ask on the position player side.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: How much someone like Colton Kawser is missed. I feel
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: like you and him bring a lot of personality to
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the team in addition to the production on the field.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So is it kind of crappy timing to have both
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of you guys missing? I know, just from talking to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: other players to an addition to you, you know how
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Colton can keep it light in addition obviously seeing a
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: ton of pitches and what he does on the field
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: on offense and obviously out in the outfield.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I mean he's a jokes you're kind
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of like myself. Yeah, I mean, definitely a good team guy,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: can go out there, you know, obviously play the game hard,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: play in the right way. Uh, definitely likes to keep
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: it loose, you know which every clubhouse needs that. Yeah,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I mean having him, you know, on the aisle as well,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it definitely hurts us, you know,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean, like I said, you know, it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: still being on the aisle. We're still with the team,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: so still just trying to keep good attitudes, you know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: being good teammates, I think is you know, probably the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: number one thing right now for us. Just keep building
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on your guys, and you know, cheering on your teams
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: really all you can do. I think, yeah, obviously, just
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: keeping the clubhouse in a good, good atmosphere, and Cowser
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: does a really good job of that.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Grayson, before we let you go, did you watch the
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: NFL Draft?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I did. I watched a lot of it. Actually, for
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: probably the first time watched watched a good chunk of it.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Now, I know you're an A and M fan, but
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: did you see the Texas quarterback yours house that he
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: was in? How jealous were you? I mean, he's I
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: think that I don't know. I don't know, but I
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: mean he is pretty much every trophy in the world
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: on that wall.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. But Pardy barn that was in.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: It's Hammer's dad collection of both. But yeah, there's some
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: big animals in there. That's that's a lot of hunting
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: trips for sure. Yeah, it's pretty impressive.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, that was the That was probably the craziest
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: thing I've ever That was the craziest room I've ever seen.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: I listen, I hunt, and you know, I don't I
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: have some trophies, but you have a great room when
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: you're home, back home, But like, that was honestly one
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: of the most impressive things I've ever seen. If you're
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: into that. No, I know people are there.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a few people that text me pictures
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: of it. I was watching it. I was watching it
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: live and saw it and saw that they showed it,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: and uh, I mean within the next hour, I think
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I had, you know, four or five people sending it
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to me. They're like, holy cow, which I mean, you
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: know some of those animals. Yeah, some of those animals
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: you can only kill in Africa, So they've definitely been
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: over there doing all that big game stuff. I haven't
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: had the chance to do that yet. I mean, I
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: mean I might wait a good while before I charted
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: venturing over to Africa. But yeah, no, it's definitely impressive
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Wait then, I need one more because AJ loves talking
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: about football and this show. What about Dionnese kid falling
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: so far back? What were your thoughts there if you
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: were dialed in, what were they saying? And how crazy
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: was that? We don't really get that in the MLB draft.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: It's either for the most part, it just means that
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you know, there's a kid who's just definitely going to
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: school or he just.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Wanted more money than people were willing to pay him.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Right, But then he goes to school, Like he'll be like, hey,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: I'm going to school, so unless you meet my number, like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: don't pick me. But we don't see drops like this
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: where it's like, oh, you know, last year we thought,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like if Paul Schemes or Charlie Condon
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: or one of these top three, top five guys suddenly
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: fell to like the third, fourth, fifth round, we'd be like,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: what the heck's going on here?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was definitely crazy. Like, you know, I was
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: sitting there, and that's part of the reason why I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: watched the whole draft is I'm like, when is he
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: going to get picked? Because I mean, you know, like
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not a football scout, you know, I just like
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to watch football. But yeah, there's definitely some some questionable
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: draft picks made before him, because you know, I feel
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: like a lot of these ESPN or NFL network, you know,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: draft analysts people, I mean, you know, I you know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: they probably know what they're looking for. So for him
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to fall down the draft boards that far, it's pretty odd.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Obviously, just a lot of a lot of things could
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: go different. Ways with that. But yeah, for sure, I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: was definitely shocked that. You know, that's that's kind of
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: what happened.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, be nice to mel Kiper. He's a Baltimore guy,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: so you know, he might see him out one night
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and might se him at Jimmy's and yeah what happened.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I might see him at Jimmy's and see what
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: kind of you know, draft grade maybe he could give me.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So if I ever want to go play in the NFL,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: can you spend it? Yeah? Not really, Uh, more of
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: a tight end I think, you know, pee wee football.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I was outside linebacker when I was six, so put
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: up some good numbers there. So yeah, they're not saying,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a good chance, but there's a small chance.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, wait, are you a are you a are you
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: a Texans fan? Or are you a Cowboys fan?
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, And I watch a lot of teams
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: obviously when I was younger, grew up watching the Texans
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a lot. Loved watching DeAndre Hopkins when he was in Houston,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and now he's with the Ravens. So maybe I'll get
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: to get over there and meetium one day or something.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's probably one of my favorite football players
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I've watched ever since I was a young dude.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Just take your hands and go like this next time.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Just see see how big they are.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I mean it's like, I mean, my hands aren't small,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: but his hands are.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Like me, like, uh yeah, I guess he holds a football,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: kind of like Felix Bautist that holds a baseball. You know,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: he just kind of disappears, kind of like disappears like
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: a ping pong ball, you know.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Like Shaq has the basketball. Shaq used to grab a
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: basketball and it was like this, He's like, oh, I
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: have a basketball. Guys. It's like, hey, guys, have the basketball.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: It looked it looked like pop a shot to me
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: when I shat growing up, Grace, and it looked like
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Papa shot, right, like where you play Papa shot and
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you're just like this, yeah, it looks like he.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Literally was like.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: All got lost in my hand because I don't know why.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: I don't have any feel Oh my gosh.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that sounds.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Well. Graceon, good catching up man, speedy recovery, do your
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: thing again. Of course, appreciate you coming on during this
• 25:26

  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Good talking to you.

  Speaker 3: We're the orange Pants when you come to breakfast too.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: By the way, dude, I like the orange pants. The
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: orange Pants are nice. I don't care what anybody said.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: I like them. I'm with you. They're great. Grace. Yeah, well,
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: we'll talk soon. Good luck with aj at breakfast.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: All right, appreciate that.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Fellas in the Weeds, we're one month into the season.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: There's a good article from CBS Dane Pa about the
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: winners and the losers. Actually want to do it this way,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: and then you guys can dive into something you like.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna just point out the five winners and the
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: five losers that they pointed out. Obviously you can play
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: off anything that they put or pick your own. So
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: winners they said, Mets rotation, Jung Ho Lee and the Giants,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge and the Yankees, Kyle Tucker and the Cubs,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: and stolen bases for losers Orioles rotation, Jack Peterson and
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: the Rangers, the White Sox, the Cardinals on the road
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in batting average.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, I got too off the bit, Aaron Judge, Yankes,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Why did don't do anybody pitch Aaron Judge have been
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: saying this for two years now. No offense to Cody Bellinger,
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: but he's struggling. I would face Cody Bellinger every time,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: and Aaron Judge would set I don't know if he'll
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: set the Barry Bonds all time rock record, but he
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: would not get a lot to it. Anybody on base. Judge,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: guess you, Judge, you're going to first, buddy, You're gonna
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: have to swing at four pitches that are pitchouts, basically
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: if we don't want to just walk you and that
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: would get tired and he might chase, but I doubt it,
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: and you'd make Cody Bellinger who ever sitting behind them hit.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: And then the other one for me is losers the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: White Sox. Really, what about the Rockies? How come the
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Rockies always get a pass? This is why the Rockies
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: always get a pass the White Sox. The Rockies are
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: way worse, way worse than the White Sox, way worse,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: and they don't have the cool city.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: They're not way worse the records.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Look at their their on pace to win twenty four games.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Right, So the White Sox are seven and twenty one.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: The Rockies are four and twenty four that's way worse
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: when you're that bad.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's a few games, but fair. Yeah, Atlanta won
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: six three yesterday. It's a good game.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: They've lost fifteen of sixteen, so they lost seven straight.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: So that means they lost eight in a row one
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: to one and lost seven in a row. That's if
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Bob knightingales Mouth is right.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Fun ballpark experience, they get a pass.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: The White Sox are on pace to break their own
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: record from last year, and that is why they're on here.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: You on this show, You on this show said they
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: cannot be as they.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Will not They will not be as bad. They will
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: not be as bad.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: They might not lose as many games, but right now
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: they're on pace to lose more games, and they are
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: a worse team. They do not have Garrett Crochet.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: You have to agree they are said he was the
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: reason they lost one hundred and twenty one last year.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: Chuck Garfind said it on this show. The reason they
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: lost so many was because Garrett Crochet is on the team,
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: and he is not on the team anymore, and they're
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: now using openers every game, so they figured it out.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Rockies are less Rockies are less delusional. They just think
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: they just think everything's fine out there. But maybe they
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: should change some of the walls in Chicago so they
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: would have the same laws as as they do in Colorado.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: And you and Austin thing, so you scratch your cornea though, crowd,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: All right, I take I'll take my.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I'll take my winners and losers and my winner, and
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: they're both gonna be the same. Two pickups in the offseason,
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Kyle Tucker and the Cubs. Kyle Tucker. When you trade
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: for somebody, when you trade for a guy like Kyle
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Tucker from a team who saw one Soto's contract and said, crap,
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: we got to get rid of this guy for something,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: because we ain't re signing him for four hundred and
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: fifty million dollars. The Cubs have this has been a
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: awesome I mean until they lost the series to the Phillies.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: This team has been coming back from games. They've they've
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: murdered teams like they have just they've done what they
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: built this team for offense and hope they're pitching is
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: gonna do good. So far, this trade has been awesome.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: My losers so far this season I think will probably
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: end up being a winner because Jock always turns it around.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Jock came in to try to hit the heater. He
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: was hitting in that zer for forty one stretch. He
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: was hitting oh thirty zero three zero on the fastball.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: So I'm not sure who's telling what. Maybe their fastball
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: machine is broken in Texas. I think this team is
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: gonna be fine. I think Jock will end up getting
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: hot because that's what he does. But to come to
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: a new team with a certain skill set of murdering
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the four seam fastball and then not being able to
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: do it in the first month, tough first month for
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: him and the Rangers offense in general.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yet you look at the standings, they're right there.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: In the Al West, I think there's four teams in
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: a game or two of each other. To me, I
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: would be scared of that because you know that's not
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: going to last the whole time, right m h What
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: is the famous phrase from Charlie Manuel, Water levels out,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: water levels out.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: Tide's and the Rangers records are tied right now.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Somebody said their lock of the century was the A's
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: over there was like seventy two. I'm like, dude, they're
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: gonna win wame. They're gonna be a five hundred.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Least you think they're gonna be at least five hundred.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: They're gonna be around a five hundred.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see them winning like seventy nine games
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: But seventy two or whatever.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Your call is looking good.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: By the way, I'm gonna say this, there's two rotations
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: on here. In the Mets rotation, they also only throw
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: five inchings at.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Time, so it's but their bullpen's been money, their bullpens money.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: But they also only go five Eventually, it's gonna catch up.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: You can only event you're gonna need somebody to go
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: longer than five inches. And then the Oriols rotation. We're
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: gonna talk to Grayson, who's one of the guys that's injured.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: And it sucks, but we beat that. We've beat that
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: to death. I mean, poor michaelas is like, gosh, they're
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: talking about us again. But it's a thing.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: We talked about it for a long time and it's right.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: I know, it's a thing. It's a real thing. I mean,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk to some Orioles fans this weekend when
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: I go to Pickles Pub right there. You know, next
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: to the park.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Well, they're all turning now, they're yeah, they're all turning.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, unless they sweep the Yankees, unless they say all
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: fine and all in Baltimore.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: So I've got a couple, but I.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Make that prediction. Do you think they win the next
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: two against the Yankees?
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: No, Okay, I have a couple winners. But first I
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: wanted to play off something Kratz said, because we have
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: talked a lot about Kyle Tucker, as has everyone right,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: he's an MVP candidate. It's been a great pickup for
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: the Cubs. There's a couple other pickups for the Cubs
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that are really helping the offense, in particular, because I'm
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: looking back and I'm like, obviously Tucker's great, he can
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: impact the entire lineup. But Carson Kelly has been hitting
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: out of his mind so far this year. Pete crow
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Armstrong at the plate really damn good. I know a
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: lot of his value also gets picked up with the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: glove and with the base running. But man, when there's
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: a pitch in the zone, he makes hard contact. Yeah,
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: and he's young. I mean, he's just coming into its
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: great start. Yeah, Pete's probably maybe twenty five or six,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you know, and this is really the first full season
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: that he can run with things. Man, that is a
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: really good ballplayer. He's twenty four. Here come my eyes,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: he's twenty three.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: A twenty three.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they offered him.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I wonder if that seventy five million dollars they offered him,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: whether it was real or not, he turned it down.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: At the time, I was like, should have taken it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: He's having a kind of season or a month so
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: far that shows he was right.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: He's playing himself into at least right now, he's playing
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: himself close to the Jackson Merrill contract.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Now, Craig Council last year, if you follow the Cubs
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: or like we won him out of here, Craig Counsel
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: was the staunch supporter of PCA and saying, no, he's
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: gonna be fine, just let him keep playing and figure
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: it out. And they's stuck with him. Now they're reaping
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: the rewards this year. Took another offseason. But can he
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: continue this? If he does, Craig Counsel can look at
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: him and be like, ah, I was right.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's almost every game where he does something
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: ridiculou us right, it could be and were.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Worried about his defense. They we're talking about offensively, and
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: he's kind of started to figure out offensively. And that's
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: what Craig Council's big thing was, was like, you gotta
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: let this guy figure it out. He's got the tools,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: he's got the talent. Will he figured out and now
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Craig Council's again is being rewarded for.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: That's the thing is sometimes now when you're like, oh,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Pete Crow Armstrong won them that game, it's like, oh,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: it was that.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Homer in La you know Homers Homers and now the
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: Christian Walker of the Cubs, right.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: The new Dodger killer. I got two more. I want
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: to make sure we give love again, and I know
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: we've done it in the past week or so. To
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Jung hou Lee, this was a pickup from the prior regime,
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: and it took a season. He wasn't great when he
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: played last year and then he got hurt. He only
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: lasted what it was.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Like, thirty forty games on forty one games. You should
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: watch the open on Fox. Got it was all about
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Jung hou Lee? Was it sain? Yeah? I got some
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: guy talked about him for like three minutes.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I do watch and listen to you on Saturdays more
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: than I'd like to admit. But I did give myself
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Saturday off. I did. I was away. He's got a
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: one sixty seven ops plus Junghulee nine thirty ops. He's
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: almost a two win player so far this season. And
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: whether you have one eye or two, you can see
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: the instincts. Right, you got to see him in person.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: This guy's a high baseball IQ bloodlines player. Right. It
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: looks like baseball has been around him his entire life.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: You know, there's some guys where you're just like, yeah,
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: he grew up with it. He has a famous he.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Was my superhero too, just saying the last.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Week he's playing like one. Did you get to see
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: him in person? Like, did you get to go near
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: him to see? Really?
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know, he just did.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Uh So. On the field he looks like a more
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: of a slight smaller dude, right, Apparently in person he's
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: a little bigger than you think. Like he's got like
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: the broad shoulders. You can see that there's a little
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: more strength then what appears with the with the clear
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: what the what is it the cream white uniform that I.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Saw my third round pick. Though I saw Logan Web
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: I talked to him, so I was proud of him.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: He was so happy that I picked him that high.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Did he tell him that he was sitting next to
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Verlander in the best line.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: So we did the game on Saturday. It was Brandon Crawford.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Brandon Crawford Day, Yeah, in San Francisco, and they did
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: a whole thing. It was awesome. He came up in
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: the booth for us. Brandon Crawford had the best line
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: because the Giants don't have their names on the back
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: of their home jerseys, and so Brandon wore thirty five.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Verlander wars thirty five. He goes man because I went
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: up to JV and goes man, why are there all
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: these Crawford jerseys in the stands? And jav you know,
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: Justin was like, what that's good? It was funny, But
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: that's Crawford. He was great by the way. He did
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: a great interview with us too. Brandon did oh yeah
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: during the game, came up there, didn't did crush it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Did you ask him if he'll be in the front
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: office next year?
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I did, I said, because I when I first saw him,
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: he was talking to Buster Posey, and Larry bar and
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, were you auditioning for a job,
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Like at least he goes It's nice to know somebody
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: in case I do want one.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he'll be there next year. That's my prediction. All right.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: One more. This is from that article that sparked this conversation,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: and this is from a few days ago, so don't
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: quote me on the exact number, but we're close here.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Stolen bases are up again. Obviously they were going to
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: tick up with the rule changes, right with the limits
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: on pickoffs with the bigger bases. So in twenty twenty
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: two MLB teams stole zero point five to one bases
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: per game, so we had a stolen base every other game.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three the rule changes, it went to
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: point seven to one. Last season it went up but
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: too point seventy four. This year we're at point eight four.
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: As of a few days ago, we were getting closer
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: and closer to one stolen base per game, which would
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: double what we were at a few years ago. Mission
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: accomplished with these rules, right, It doesn't create craziness. There
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: were some people at the time, because you don't know
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: it's going to look like that we're like, we might
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: get two three stolen bases a game now, but hasn't
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: it got us to a healthier number for more entertainment.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: And then what we want? Yeah, one action.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: I love stolen bases.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I want action, baby, I'm not catching more steal all
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: you want. I don't care. Don't bother me. I don't
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: have to get done.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Try and throw you out, sellout, sell out our brother
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: and are back there sore arms. Jose Travino's arm is
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: killing them, Yiner Diaz, He's like, golly, the pitchers learn
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: one time to hold a guy. Yes, it's fun to
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: watch guys steel bases. Yes, it's good that it's up.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: I think it's cool because there's actually more caught stealing too,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: because guys are taking taking those risks. Don't be risk
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: averse the game. One stolen base might win you a game.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: One game might put you in the playoffs, So take
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: the advantage. But everybody's learning this system still. They're learning
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: how to use you know how to use their pickoffs.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: The best time to use it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I love it. O'Neill, Cruz and Pete g. Armstrong have
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: twelve stolen bags. They leave the league and then right
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: after them is Ellie de la Cruz fair Fifty fifty
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: is the number? What that you think someone will end
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: up with?
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Where's our guy Jeremy Pania He was supposed to get fifty,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: you remember?
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, you know who's right after Cruise in stolen Bags,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Luise Robert.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: He hits the home running. When he gets on, he steals. Yeah,
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: but the problem is only one white sock has ever
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: stolen first base.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got to get on a little more. Jeremy
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Penney has five, so he's on pace for I got
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Plus said fifty to remember, Yeah, fifty.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Is not happening. But anyway, anything else that we are
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: missing let us know if you're catching this later in
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: the comments. Winners and losers from the first month of
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the season. Be creative.
