- 0:55and flip over to YouTube. You know what we're talking
- 0:57about here. How does it feel to know that
- 1:02your head is bigger than a current NFL football player
- 1:08playing right now? I'm, I'm not surprised.
- 1:13I mean, it's, it's well, doc, we have, we have documented the
- 1:17fact that I have a large head. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:21So I mean just because they can play football really well
- 1:24doesn't doesn't make my head any any smaller.
- 1:27Yeah, but isn't Daniel Jones like 65?
- 1:32It's not his helmet. Who knows, Could be.
- 1:36It's not. You don't think so, Dad?
- 1:39Got this for me for Christmas and then I when I was working at
- 1:42Duke had him sign it. Yeah, smart, smart, big Colts.
- 1:49Guy now, by the way. It's a good deal.
- 1:53But yeah, man, relax. It's baseball season, clearly.
- 1:57So let's just dial back the enthusiasm for football.
- 2:00We've got all winter for that. It's it's prime baseball season.
- 2:07That's right, season. That's right SZN.
- 2:11That's right. It's baseball season.
- 2:13Season. Bro, you should have seen me.
- 2:16I still caught the Yankees game today, Wild.
- 2:21The amount of screens that were up today, Wild.
- 2:24Hey, I'm proud of you, man. I'm proud of you.
- 2:26Yeah, the on your phone, the app is clutch when you can like
- 2:31swipe up and it's just like, whoa, it's just like a little
- 2:34small, like up in the corner. You can keep doing stuff.
- 2:36Oh yeah, that's huge. Huge.
- 2:39Speaking of screens and sports, you're a real sicko if you watch
- 2:45MLB big inning on your phone. Like do you know how how just
- 2:48crazy that is? You want to OK, so you know the
- 2:52picture in picture feature that they have that you're talking
- 2:54about where you can minimize it. Have you ever watched a big
- 2:57inning that. Way no where they brought like
- 2:59break it out into like 4 different games.
- 3:01It's 4. Games it's not only on your
- 3:03phone, but you've minimized the window and thrown it up in the
- 3:06corner so you barely it's like Ant plan.
- 3:09It's fantastic. You're a real.
- 3:10Sicko, if you do that, yeah, that's it's you, isn't it?
- 3:14Yep, Yep. Good for you guy.
- 3:18Thanks, good for you. How long do I got to keep this
- 3:21thing on by the way? All out to go now.
- 3:24If you, I mean, look like, why don't you fill people in that
- 3:28you worked at Duke? This is when the podcast
- 3:30started, by the way. So it's kind of like a a little
- 3:32bit of a history lesson for the podcast.
- 3:34Yep, Yep, sure is. Yeah, Worked at Duke with their
- 3:37with their athletics program or department, I should say.
- 3:41Worked there for a few years. You worked a lot.
- 3:46I was going to say you got some like good exposure to Daniel
- 3:49Jones is obviously there you had.
- 3:52Oh, it was elite. It was an elite run.
- 3:55I was there when Zion Williams Williamson was there.
- 4:00Daniel Jones. Coach K like finishing his
- 4:03career there like. Oh yeah, I was there, yeah,
- 4:07there for the the the Coach K run.
- 4:09Yeah, at the end there. I mean, it was it was just
- 4:12fantastic. The Grayson Allen era for
- 4:14basketball. I mean, it was true.
- 4:16It was top. Shelf.
- 4:18It's a good window. You got a little headache going.
- 4:21Yeah, yeah, that's all right. That's all right.
- 4:26All out to slide. You're good now.
- 4:28OK, I'm going to press the jerseys out too.
- 4:31Big Colts guy, big big Daniel Jones, big Peyton Manning guy.
- 4:34But like I said, it's still don't get it twisted, it's
- 4:37baseball season. Football.
- 4:39Football. Come on, let's not overreact
- 4:41here people. For those wondering, my screens
- 4:44today were absolutely terrifying.
- 4:46It was I hung out with the father-in-law.
- 4:50We've got two TV's up, we've got red zone on one game.
- 4:54We've got one game there. We both have an iPad with games.
- 4:58I have my fantasy football team pulled up on my phone with the
- 5:02Yankees game up in the corner. I was so tapped in today.
- 5:09It was like the Control Center at NASA when a shuttle is taking
- 5:14off. Like I was commanding a lot
- 5:16today. You're, I got to say you, you
- 5:19have an alertness about you today that I think really speaks
- 5:22to just how locked in you've been.
- 5:24Like that's right, Look like you're on your P's and Q's today
- 5:27more so. That's right, I am.
- 5:31You got it Proud. Of you.
- 5:34It's impressive, isn't it? Yeah.
- 5:36You know what else is impressive?
- 5:37Is losing a game in which you held the other team hit list for
- 5:438 and a third 8 2/3. Excuse me?
- 5:468 and 2/3. Absolutely terrible.
- 5:50Down to your literal last out and you're just like, no, we
- 5:54don't. We don't want it that bad.
- 5:57There's OK, so I don't know if maybe people who aren't Dodgers
- 6:04fans who were like aren't tapping into the Dodgers
- 6:06everyday. We're we're just like under the
- 6:10impression obviously the Dodgers are like leading the division.
- 6:13We'll get into that gap here in a little bit.
- 6:15But like, were we just thinking that, like, the Dodgers just
- 6:20automatically, like, get the pass, like, they're dominant
- 6:24this year, Like, everything's fine.
- 6:27And then we hear Dodgers fans complaining about them all the
- 6:30time, specifically Murray. Shout out Murray.
- 6:34He's in our group chat. He's never satisfied with the
- 6:37Dodgers. And I wonder if this game was
- 6:42like, especially in the fashion they lost, put it on everyone
- 6:50else's radar that like maybe they do have an Achilles heel.
- 6:55Maybe they are a little bit of a struggle bust this year because
- 6:59this to lose, you had a no, you needed one more out to complete
- 7:05a no hitter. You're up 3 and you lose that
- 7:11game. Yeah.
- 7:13So for those for those who somehow missed it last night,
- 7:17what the situation? You live on a rock.
- 7:19Here's what you live on a rock. The situation was as such.
- 7:23Dodgers in Baltimore, in town. Cal Ripken night, mind you, the
- 7:3030th anniversary. Prince of Baltimore throwing out
- 7:34the first pitch. Prince of Baltimore, friend of
- 7:36the program. Well, distant friend of the
- 7:38program at this point. Ryan Ripken, No disrespect.
- 7:43Truth be told, I don't really know whose fault.
- 7:45Like who's who's? The half of the.
- 7:47Court the ball is in right now. It might be.
- 7:49It has a lot on his docket that's.
- 7:52That might be on me. I think I actually left him
- 7:55hanging last. So that's, you know, if you're
- 7:57looking for somebody to blame for lack of Ryan Ripken
- 7:59appearances, blame me. However, Cal Ripken Knight, 30
- 8:06years from him breaking the record.
- 8:08Little OS magic in the air, some might say.
- 8:11It's absolutely insane, by the way.
- 8:13Yamamoto Yoshinobu Yamamoto has taken a no hitter into the 9th.
- 8:20He's threw 8 and 2/3 and out away.
- 8:24The count is 2 to one and they lose the game.
- 8:31That's the situation. Jackson Holiday breaks up the no
- 8:34hitter, breaks up the shutout with a solo shot.
- 8:37That OK? You you OK?
- 8:43First of all, let me let me let me let me address the elephant
- 8:47in the room. I was not watching this live 1
- 8:49because I'm blacked out from O's games even.
- 8:54Thank you, Rob. Thank you, Rob.
- 8:56Thank you, Rob. So I not only that, I was at A
- 9:00at a concert last night and was unable to have the game pulled
- 9:07up. So I'm getting all my updates
- 9:08through you because the Internet there sucked.
- 9:09So I'm getting any and all information about this final
- 9:13inning from you via text. So you text me, you said Andy
- 9:17Pajez, like, what are we doing? And so I once it once it ended,
- 9:22we're walking out to the parking lot.
- 9:23I I checked the replay. I'm like, yeah, that's that's a
- 9:26little lackadaisical if we're trying.
- 9:28I mean, you have read the room, Andy know, know what's at stake.
- 9:34You know, any, any time there's a no hitter, there's a play or
- 9:38two or even 3 where you go. That's where it was saved.
- 9:44Well, I texted you first. I think it was in like the 7th
- 9:46or 8th inning because I wasn't watching that game full on until
- 9:53big inning started to focus on what was occurring.
- 9:56But I texted you because you're in the championship for fantasy
- 9:59baseball. I was like, yo, Yamamoto
- 10:01understood the assignment for the championship.
- 10:04And then and I ended up winning this thing.
- 10:06I'm getting a Yamamoto jersey. I, I, I might do it.
- 10:09Yeah, not a terrible idea, but yeah.
- 10:12And then obviously the next inning, you know, Jackson
- 10:14Holiday comes up and and puts one just scrapes over the wall
- 10:18to get out. But like Andy ah has dude, like
- 10:22you're up three. There's no one on.
- 10:26He backed. He slowed down, backed off the
- 10:28wall as if like I really need to make sure that I limit him to a
- 10:33single here. Like it was such a.
- 10:35Weird approach. I got to play some smart ball
- 10:38here. I really got to.
- 10:39I really got to let my baseball IQ shine here.
- 10:42What are we doing? Like, go make a play.
- 10:45It's the fence low in Baltimore. No, OK, so I'm going to.
- 10:49Sit here and say it was 100% catchable.
- 10:51I don't know what the catch probability was on it.
- 10:54I don't think it was. I don't think it was even
- 10:57remotely high because I saw some follow up tweets today if people
- 11:00and even where it hit because if you go back and look a ball
- 11:03kicks back, it's because it hit the the if you go back and watch
- 11:07the clip, it's the black railing that's up behind like on the
- 11:11backside closest to like closest to the fans of the backside of
- 11:16the shelf. That's there that a lot of times
- 11:18you'll see balls hit and and you know, kick up into the stands.
- 11:22It hit the black railing, which apparently they said was 18
- 11:26inches up off of that shelf that's there that you can kind
- 11:29of like rest your shoulders or whatever if if you want.
- 11:32And then apparently the shelf I think they said was 4 feet wide.
- 11:37So they said deep or deep. Yeah.
- 11:41So they said there was that the clip that you saw or the play
- 11:45that you saw in the clip was sort of a, a not an illusion.
- 11:51Yeah. A little misleading based on
- 11:53what the broadcast showed. I don't care, I.
- 11:59I'm with you at least. At the very least, make an
- 12:02effort. Make an effort, guy.
- 12:04Make an effort. Like I, I don't understand.
- 12:09I don't understand. You're like, make a play.
- 12:13At least try to make a play if you are leaping, crashing into
- 12:19the wall or you get there back, you obviously got back there
- 12:22early enough to potentially climb it.
- 12:26I'm OK with it tipping off the the top of your glove.
- 12:29I'm OK with you being just out of reach.
- 12:33It's the effort that like I just when I watched it live, I was
- 12:37like, EW, what, what, what are we doing?
- 12:40The way he slowed down and was like, I got a hold of that
- 12:43first. It was just like, it was so
- 12:44stupid. Whatever.
- 12:48It is what it is. But moving on to the bigger,
- 12:51more telling side of this story is that it didn't just turn into
- 12:58like, oh, we got the next guy ball game.
- 13:01Dave Roberts decides to go to a struggling bullpen.
- 13:04I don't know what the pitch count was for Yamamoto.
- 13:08He was done. Like you.
- 13:09I think it was like 100 and 112 maybe.
- 13:12That's fair. He's totally fine.
- 13:14He's tapped totally fine trying to remember who who came in.
- 13:20It was. It was Trinon, wasn't it?
- 13:23Trinon. Was the one that I think lost
- 13:24it, wasn't he? Yeah, Trinon came in and just
- 13:28absolutely folded. Was it?
- 13:33Was there somebody in between? There was someone after Trinon.
- 13:37Trinon was the first one to come in.
- 13:38I thought Trinon was the one that that ended up blowing it.
- 13:44All right, guy, what concert were you at?
- 13:48What does this matter? I'm just curious.
- 13:50You trying to accuse me here? No, I mean not accuse.
- 13:58Hold on, I got it here you. Don't want to answer.
- 14:00Tanner Scott. Blake trying And Tanner Scott,
- 14:03It was Jean Marco. Yeah, a couple walks.
- 14:10All right. Well, I answered and I'd got
- 14:11enough and then response, so that's fine.
- 14:13Cool. Yeah.
- 14:14Who? Nah, it's cool.
- 14:16Let's just keep moving on. Respect.
- 14:17I didn't. I thought you were talking about
- 14:19a A. And the guy in the pen.
- 14:23Yeah. Jean, Marco.
- 14:25Lefty. All right, Lefty.
- 14:26They called up from double. I knew.
- 14:28They were. I knew they were thin back
- 14:29there. I just.
- 14:33I knew it was thin. I didn't think it was quite that
- 14:35thin. I didn't think it was Jean Marco
- 14:38Thin. Yeah, man, look, everything has
- 14:44just been been rough for them. Tanner Scott has not had a good
- 14:48tenure with the with the Dodger uniform on.
- 14:51It just hasn't looked great. OK, now this is this brings up
- 14:54an interesting question. Not because this.
- 14:57Isn't on him by the way, Blake Trining was the the reason they
- 14:59lost, but it's just telling that both of these names were
- 15:03involved for it to end that way. Anyway, go ahead.
- 15:06I saw somebody, I'm I'm guessing it was out of frustration.
- 15:11This tweet was sent out of frustration.
- 15:13But I saw a tweet today from a disheveled Dodgers fan that said
- 15:18love it. Thank you.
- 15:19I would rather have Clayton Kershaw on the postseason roster
- 15:24then Tanner Scott. Hasn't cursed kind of been
- 15:28decent? Cursed me.
- 15:29Great, yeah. Where would this doctors team be
- 15:32without Clayton Kirsch all this year?
- 15:34I'm a little being honest. This is an unnecessary.
- 15:37Ricochet, dude. Like, yeah, but think I mean the
- 15:40keyword there in that's the postseason I'd rather have.
- 15:44So knowing what we know about Kershaw in the postseason, would
- 15:47you rather have Clayton Kershaw in the postseason taking up a
- 15:50roster spot or would you rather have Tanner Scott?
- 15:53Because Tanner Scott's been booty cheeks, as as we know.
- 15:57Yeah, and Trinon hasn't looked good either.
- 15:59It it's and Trinon missed like a chunk of the season on the IL,
- 16:04didn't he? I think there was like a good
- 16:06amount of time that he missed because I had him in fantasy and
- 16:10then I had to drop him. I think he's he hasn't been back
- 16:13very long. But anyway, the I think that is
- 16:17like the back end of their bullpen is a big, big question
- 16:20mark. Those are pressure outs, man.
- 16:24And like there's no pressure in that game.
- 16:27This isn't a division matchup. This is, I mean, this is an
- 16:30inter league matchup where team that you're playing has nothing
- 16:35to lose, which has its own its own benefit, by the way, 'cause
- 16:41I said it a few weeks ago, I the Orioles are better than what we
- 16:47all have witnessed the first, you know, 3-4 months of the
- 16:51season, like they're, they're playing better ball.
- 16:53They're competitive right now. And you just have a bunch of
- 16:58guys that are like playing for pride at this point saying I'm
- 17:01going down swinging, I'm going to ruin some seasons.
- 17:05So obviously come back and walk it off like it was, but I'm just
- 17:13saying there's chinks in the armor.
- 17:14People. If you're not a Dodgers fan, you
- 17:17know, buckle up. You never know all.
- 17:19Right. Well, let's switch gears here to
- 17:20talk about this NL W race that we're that that is before us.
- 17:27One game separates the Dodgers and the Padres and pump the
- 17:31brakes. By the way, let's not rule out
- 17:39not for the division, but let's not rule out the San Francisco
- 17:43Giants here. I know, I know you want to.
- 17:50They're four games back out of the wild card, so albeit they're
- 17:55not part of the NL W race, they're still in the mix.
- 18:02And I don't think it's fair if we if we kill them off just yet
- 18:06dead. Man.
- 18:12But I understand if you don't want to talk giants as it
- 18:14pertains to. I'm not interested in that.
- 18:16I'm looking at the Padres schedule coming up.
- 18:18They're about to take on the Reds for three, Rockies for four
- 18:23at home this weekend. Four games.
- 18:28Set at home. Yeah, following up with the Mets
- 18:32that very interested because you bring up the Giants like that
- 18:39series could be very important for the Mets.
- 18:44Is that one important in Queens? It is in Queens and it is the
- 18:48like the it's next week. It's a it's the 16th through the
- 18:5518th. So not this upcoming Tuesday,
- 18:58but the following that could be that could be important for
- 19:03them. There's a lot of interesting
- 19:05narratives going on with not just the Nos but the overall
- 19:09wild card. And I don't I there's just
- 19:12there's something about the giants team won one game over
- 19:20500 that were like, you never know.
- 19:22I got to I just don't like it. I don't like that.
- 19:25And this is shout out to the AL. I think the AL is going to end
- 19:30up looking like a lot more competitive as far as better
- 19:36baseball overall records. I mean, 72 and 71, yeah, it's
- 19:46about four games back in the AL as well.
- 19:47But you have three or four teams that they'd have to hop over to
- 19:51get to that last wild card spot in the AL now.
- 19:55I mean anyway, I mean even the. Cardinals are just kind of
- 20:00floating around. They're 4 1/2 back at 500.
- 20:03They're just kind of hovering. But specifically this Dodgers
- 20:08Padres race. I mean, I don't I don't want to
- 20:10overreact to one game, but is the Dodgers season over after
- 20:16losing to the in the game last night?
- 20:20I mean, I don't want to overreact, but.
- 20:22Let's not get out of hand. Should we should?
- 20:23Should the Dodgers pack it up after one after the game last
- 20:28night? Not a terrible idea, the.
- 20:32No joking aside, and not to not to over react, react to a even
- 20:39a, a, a struggle stretch, but do you think his Dodgers team has
- 20:45what it takes to win the World Series?
- 20:47I don't know man. No, I'm being, I'm being for
- 20:49real. I'm being for real.
- 20:50Does this Dodgers team have have what it takes?
- 20:52I don't know. Because look if if if they care
- 21:00about and or respect my philosophy as it pertains to the
- 21:05post season, they should have adopted something by now.
- 21:09A rallying cry. Last I checked they don't have
- 21:12that. They just wave at each other
- 21:14everywhere on the field. That's it.
- 21:18So you've got you combine that with the injuries, with the
- 21:21scuffling, it's it's not looking good in LA and the Padres are
- 21:27breathing down your neck. Granted, they're both three and
- 21:31seven in the last set, so it's not exactly like the Padres are
- 21:34just. Storming back, a little
- 21:36disappointed in that. Yeah, dude, I players talk about
- 21:41how real the hangover is. The World Series hangover is
- 21:45like it's it's a thing. It's not fake.
- 21:50I mean, it's September. I don't, I don't know how much
- 21:53can we really point to the hangover, I think.
- 21:56You can in ways of the level of exhaustion, I think that they're
- 22:01they're exhausted you. Just think they never like
- 22:05caught up I guess. Snowballed as the years gone on.
- 22:09I think that the roster and organization as a whole, the
- 22:13fact that they're still leading the division at this stage in
- 22:16the season is incredibly impressive because of like that.
- 22:23Just show if there was no hangover I'd feel like they'd be
- 22:27in a lot of a lot better possession position right now.
- 22:30Football on the mind? Yeah, exactly.
- 22:32But with, you know, hangover injuries like this, just, I
- 22:38don't know, I don't know if they have what it takes to, you know,
- 22:42finish this climb back up the mountain again.
- 22:45If you would have told me on opening day, hey, the Dodgers
- 22:51are this stacked, they're this deep, they have this many arms
- 22:55that they can work with and sort of insert into the equation if
- 23:01they needed to. But they're also going to have
- 23:06to deal with X amount of injuries.
- 23:08They're going to have to deal with a very impressive Padres
- 23:13team to battle it out with them over the course of the season.
- 23:19But on September 7th, they're going to be still leading the
- 23:23National League West. But it'll just be by a game.
- 23:26I would have probably told you that would have tracked almost
- 23:29perfectly. Yeah, because of how, like, it
- 23:33goes back to what we said at the beginning of the season.
- 23:36They make all these acquisitions.
- 23:37They say, how much deeper can you get if you're the Dodgers?
- 23:44I mean, there's we talked about like, they're just signing guys
- 23:46because they can. And so again, not to just beat
- 23:52the dead horse of the injuries, but it's like, OK, they they
- 23:55lose the they lose the the personnel that they lose, but
- 24:00they're still able to take advantage of that depth.
- 24:03In spite of that, they're still a very good team.
- 24:07And yeah, they're still going to be they're they're not going to
- 24:10the Padres are going to run away with the division.
- 24:12They're still going to be holding on to the division lead.
- 24:14It'll just be by a game. I would be like, yeah, that that
- 24:17sounds about right. It's they may even win the
- 24:20division. It it may be ugly.
- 24:23It may be a little bloody down the stretch.
- 24:26But yeah, I could see them doing it to.
- 24:28And you know, I got to got to tip my cap to the Dodgers for if
- 24:31if that's ends up being the case, if they go on to win the
- 24:34division. Like, yeah, I mean, you put up
- 24:36with a lot, but let's not lose sight of the fact of, you know,
- 24:39the payroll, the depth, things like that.
- 24:42Sure. I think it's also the fact that,
- 24:44like names aren't performing the way they expected.
- 24:48You know, Mookie has had a rough start to, you know, begin the
- 24:52season and like rough luck and getting sick and losing all that
- 24:55weight. And like it just seems like he's
- 24:56never really gotten back to, you know, his full way of of playing
- 25:02And then, you know, class now going down.
- 25:05We know all the injuries. We don't need to like read off
- 25:07all the injuries, but even after coming back, it's like Blake
- 25:11Snell has looked pretty rocky. Glass now doesn't seem to be the
- 25:18unhittable glass now that we're used to.
- 25:20Like I think if you remove the names of it, like if you take
- 25:24the stardom of the names and the recognition of the names away
- 25:28from it and just look at stats, you're like, I'm not overly
- 25:32impressed with what I'm seeing across the board in multiple
- 25:37departments. So Padres, I mean, it's there
- 25:43for the taking, clearly figured out.
- 25:47You're like you said, they're three and seven in the last 10.
- 25:50Get it going, get it going. The Rockies tough stretch for
- 25:56the rocks, though. They got a they got they're
- 25:59starting the week against the Dodgers in LA and then they're
- 26:02heading down South a little bit to San Diego for a four-game
- 26:06set. So that's a tough week, but the
- 26:08Dodgers after that, by the way, schedule wise, they have the
- 26:12Giants at home, then they host the Phillies, and then they host
- 26:16the Giants again for four. The Diamondbacks aren't laying
- 26:22down. Just saw them take two out of
- 26:25three against the Sox. Yeah, but they lost today, so
- 26:27who cares? What have you done for me later?
- 26:30And then the Mariners to end it like the Dodgers don't have this
- 26:33like, very clean, clear path to just waltz into the postseason
- 26:38with the, you know, with the division champ title again.
- 26:42Look, if you're, if you're a Padres fan, you better hope and
- 26:46pray that you can squeak out the division this year.
- 26:48Because although this is going to be, I think it a 2-3 team
- 26:55division race for the next however many years, you're not
- 26:58going to have very many opportunities like this where
- 27:00you're less than a month away from the end of the regular
- 27:04season and you're still within, you're a game away, you know,
- 27:08within striking distance of, of having ownership of the
- 27:12division. You're going to hear it from
- 27:15Dodgers fans. If you somehow win the division,
- 27:17because they're going to, they're going to list off every
- 27:19reason that we just listed off as to why you should have won
- 27:23the division. However, I'd rather be, if I'm a
- 27:26Padres fan, I'd rather be in that position then be in a
- 27:29position where all of those things that we just listed off
- 27:32for the Dodgers happened and you still don't find a way to win
- 27:35the division. I have a few weeks of baseball
- 27:41coming man. I would, I would rather be
- 27:46having to hear from Dodgers fans saying, yeah, well, you should
- 27:50have. You had no excuse.
- 27:52You should have won the division versus being like you had every
- 27:56reason to win the division and we still own you.
- 27:59Like that's that. You don't want to be that.
- 28:00You don't want to be there if you're Potter's.
- 28:02Good point. It's a good point.
- 28:04I don't know any who's, but yeah, you're right.
- 28:06Gots got a few weeks of exciting ball left.
- 28:09Speaking of exciting, there's a Phillies Karen that needs to
- 28:18really dial it back. What a scene that was.
- 28:26There's a look. There's a lot to dissect here,
- 28:28if we're being honest. OK, so like, where, where do we
- 28:30start? Haircut.
- 28:34I don't mean with her, just the situation as a whole.
- 28:38Yeah, Haircut's wild. But looking at the home run
- 28:41itself. All right, so the ball.
- 28:46Ball lands. Bunch of empty seats.
- 28:48There's a skirmish. I mean, yeah, it's a Marlins
- 28:50game. No disrespect.
- 28:52No disrespect. No disrespect.
- 28:53Hey, let's go Marlins, let's go Marlins bunch empty seats.
- 29:00There's a skirmish. This lady somehow feels that
- 29:03because it I guess landed or made contact, brushed up against
- 29:09one of her seats or the people that she was with.
- 29:12I. Don't even know if it was that.
- 29:13It was like the seat in front of her, wasn't it?
- 29:15I don't know. She feels that because it was
- 29:19within her section that I guess she was entitled to this ball,
- 29:23which is crazy. Guy comes over, dad comes over,
- 29:30picks it up. Skirmish between 3 grown adults
- 29:33by the way. No kid.
- 29:35No kid in the skirmish. I mean there.
- 29:37There, I think there was maybe four 5-6 people that you know,
- 29:40could have wound up with the ball, but, you know, three that
- 29:43were for sure going after it. Takes the ball back over to his
- 29:46kid. Kids all excited seats.
- 29:49Away. Yeah, kids all excited.
- 29:53Dad gives Dad gives son a hug. Here comes, Here comes angry
- 29:58Phillies fan taps the guy. The reaction?
- 30:05I got to say, very bizarre on behalf of Dad.
- 30:08I don't know what that was. Guy looked like you saw a ghost.
- 30:11Yeah, Dad needs to buckle up a little bit better.
- 30:14I Yeah, I. I genuinely don't know what that
- 30:18reaction was like. I did did did he think that he
- 30:21was never going to, you know, communicate with the person ever
- 30:24again? He seemed as though that was it
- 30:26seemed as though that was the case.
- 30:28Anyway, she starts letting it eat.
- 30:31We apparently got fan footage from a girl that was sitting
- 30:34behind them. So many good angles of this.
- 30:36Clutch, clutch shout out to the people that were actually, you
- 30:39know, typically I'm always like, Hey, if there's, if there's an
- 30:42issue, put your phone down, stop recording and and help out.
- 30:45But a situation like this, you're not going to do anything.
- 30:47Just, you know, get it, film that, get us all the angles we
- 30:50can. And so she said, she said, you
- 30:54took it from me. It was in my hand, which I just
- 30:59don't think is true. Never was, never was.
- 31:05And then, Dad, what are you doing?
- 31:09Takes the ball out of son's glove, gives it to the woman and
- 31:14is like, all right, there you go.
- 31:15Happy now? Get away.
- 31:18Super soft, like just elves flying all over the place.
- 31:24On on on on both sides of this issue.
- 31:26I mean, come on, Dad. Phillies fan.
- 31:29I'm a we're dad and son. Phillies fans OK.
- 31:31Which adds to the the confusion of this whole situation.
- 31:36Which is odd to see a soft Phillies fan.
- 31:38I I think all of them are they grow up fighting off wolves on
- 31:43the streets of Philly. That's how they are ready to
- 31:49throw down within they. Fight for their cheese steaks.
- 31:51Yeah, that's right. The Wolves draft them.
- 31:53The citizens are after them. That's right.
- 31:56Who's who's going to win it? No, but adding to the confusion,
- 32:03it's not, you know it's not. It makes its way on the
- 32:04broadcast. The issue itself, you know, they
- 32:07start talking about it. They're like, you know, that's
- 32:08not right, yadda, yadda, yadda. I guess half inning, maybe an
- 32:13inning, couple innings later, A-Team representative from the
- 32:18Marlins comes down. She's on the broadcast.
- 32:20She's like, you know, we brought these fans some goodie bags, as
- 32:25I mentioned, adding to the confusion when you take into
- 32:29account the fact that we're dealing with three Phillies fans
- 32:32here, a father and his son and this angry woman.
- 32:37Now I'm not, I'm not knocking the gesture very kind on behalf
- 32:41of the the Marlins, but if I'm a Phillies fan, am I all that am I
- 32:49am I truly psyched that I'm walking away with the a Marlins
- 32:55bobblehead, a couple Loan Depot Insignia baseballs and like a
- 33:02foam finger? Yeah.
- 33:04How old was that kid, the 8-9? It was.
- 33:07Probably like 12-12 or thirteen. It was his birthday.
- 33:12Teens. I wouldn't give him the teens.
- 33:14Buddy got to meet Harrison Vader after. 11 or 12 yeah, that makes
- 33:21sense I'm like OK, cool like I'm a Phillies fan like let me meet
- 33:24the guy that hit the ball like let me meet a player of the
- 33:26team, but like I don't know well the.
- 33:29Phillies don't have representatives there.
- 33:30It's not their. State no, no, no, and I'm not
- 33:32I'm not I wasn't expecting them to and I'm not saying like, Oh
- 33:35well, it's either a Philly, it's either a Philly's goodie bag or
- 33:37nothing, but I'm just like just seems like an odd gesture, like
- 33:40I would have tried to have found something more neutral like hey,
- 33:45here's like. AI don't know.
- 33:48It, I just sound like I, I, I get it and I'm probably in the,
- 33:54I'm probably in the minority here.
- 33:55I'm just saying it's, it's odd to me that the Phillies are like
- 33:58hey, or the the Marlins are like, hey, here's a, a, a Kyle
- 34:03Stour's bobblehead, you know, a bag of Loan Depot peanuts and a
- 34:10team pack of baseball cards featuring 75% guys that you
- 34:16don't even know their names. They could even be not even real
- 34:19baseball players. I think we're really are you,
- 34:22you're, we're stretching here. We're really stretching this.
- 34:26I think it was a nice gesture. What else would you want?
- 34:28It was a nice gesture. What are you arguing?
- 34:32I just think it's it's, it's confusing, it's confusing, it's
- 34:35confusing. For who?
- 34:38Who's confused? It's just weird.
- 34:40It's just weird. Like if it was a Marlins fan.
- 34:43It makes 100% sense. Maybe they don't know.
- 34:48Maybe they don't know. Maybe they saw it and said, hey,
- 34:51at least this kid should get something.
- 34:53What do we got to? Give you're right, You're I'm
- 34:55such a hater. That's on me.
- 34:57You know what? I'll whatever I'll take to yell.
- 35:00Yeah, yeah, back to the views. Karen was found flipping a lot
- 35:08of people off, arguing, a lot of people walking over after the
- 35:12fact, walking over like down a couple rows down, down the row
- 35:17to go yell at someone in their face like she did not back down
- 35:23from Karenville, USA, like she was sitting up on that throne.
- 35:32So. Question for her is this your
- 35:36first baseball game? Genuine question, is this your
- 35:39first baseball game? Do you know how home run
- 35:42skirmishes work? Because it's not that.
- 35:46Yeah, it's not that. It's not that.
- 35:48I don't know. That's I I think there's I it's
- 35:52wild to me that you see it being handed off to a kid and like you
- 35:57continue on your little tirade tantrum to go get that ball.
- 36:04Like you see if I think I still don't condone it, but like I
- 36:09think it makes a little bit more sense if it's just adult to
- 36:13adult where it's like, hey, like I had that.
- 36:18But like the second is passed off to a child.
- 36:21You have to turn back around and go sit down.
- 36:25Can't do it. So nice gesture by the Marlins
- 36:27getting him some swag. Don't know what?
- 36:29Kyle was sure. And then the no, no, you know
- 36:36what? I'm not.
- 36:37Backing down from this tank, it's a weird, it's weird, it's
- 36:41weird. OK, say there's like AI didn't
- 36:43see what the what the contents of the bag were.
- 36:45Say there's like a hat and AT shirt.
- 36:47What is he going to do with that?
- 36:50He's a Phillies fan. What what is he going to do with
- 36:53that? What is he going to do with no
- 36:54disrespect? What is he going to do with the
- 36:56Kyle Stauer's bobble head, assuming there was something
- 36:58like that in there? What is he going to do with
- 37:00that? He's put in Billy's fan.
- 37:03The kids, not 13, by the way. All right, he's like.
- 37:09Like 9 is this edit of her like getting the ball and turning
- 37:16around and AI is like changing her face into Gollum from Lord
- 37:20of the rings. That's crazy.
- 37:33The Internet. Solid, solid work.
- 37:38Anyways, so I mean just the factory.
- 37:41I woke up this morning and it's just everywhere.
- 37:44Blasted everywhere. Who is this wanted poster?
- 37:49Hold on all over the place I'm doing I'm doing some some real
- 37:53deep deep dive surgeon here. OK, that's that's absolutely a
- 37:59bobble head. You found a goodie bag?
- 38:03Yeah. I'm I'm I'm slow motion
- 38:06scrubbing the, the, the timeline here, the the video timeline
- 38:12here to see if I can catch a glimpse of what that is.
- 38:15That definitely looks like a jersey.
- 38:18OK, OK. So we've got a bobble headed
- 38:21jersey. There's a baseball in there
- 38:24which I can only imagine is it has some very it's either a Loan
- 38:28Depot logo, a Marlins. Worth of free stuff in here and
- 38:32you're coming at the Marlins for.
- 38:35I'm not, I'm not coming at the Marlins.
- 38:39I'm just saying it's, it's odd. Answer me the question.
- 38:42You haven't answered the question.
- 38:44What is a Phillies fan going to do with all that Marlins merch?
- 38:46Who cares? He's a kid, he's the owner of
- 38:48the game and maybe he'll sell it for all I know.
- 38:51I don't. Who cares?
- 38:54You can't do nothing after watching that.
- 38:57You can't do nothing. So I'm going to give this young
- 39:01woman that works for the Marlins a pat on the back here.
- 39:05The Marlins a pat on the back here.
- 39:06Thank you for scrounging up some stuff.
- 39:09It makes a kid makes a kid happy.
- 39:14Ells, Ells go to Philly's Karen. Obviously Ells go to husband of
- 39:20Philly Karen to let it happen and not like let's you know, I'm
- 39:24going to try and talk down my spouse from pulling something
- 39:27like hey. Karen, shut your mouth.
- 39:29Yeah, exactly. And then L to little man's dad,
- 39:33who let this all transpire and like what?
- 39:38What is that about? No, I'm keeping.
- 39:39Dude. Dude was shook when she came
- 39:42over and tapped him. Yeah.
- 39:44That, that was the craziest part of the whole thing to me.
- 39:47Like forget the shouting, forget the like tapping on his shoulder
- 39:50that his reaction. This Gollum thing I could watch
- 39:54over here, it's so good. Yeah, so I stand by my tank.
- 39:59I don't know what you're going to do with that.
- 40:00Any who's if you're at a. Game.
- 40:02If there's a skirmish, if there's a ball to be had, if
- 40:07it's a skirmish, it's up to you. If you feel nice, give it to a
- 40:12kid. If you don't, that's OK, you
- 40:14earned it in the skirmish. But if there's a kid nearby, can
- 40:20you take the ball away if you get in front of this kid, if you
- 40:24grab it out of his glove or her glove if you are in the skirmish
- 40:29with a kid? No, it is the child's ball.
- 40:36It makes their day. Karen probably going to get
- 40:40fired because of all of this. I don't know if the post was
- 40:43legit, but I did see a post that said she was fired from her
- 40:46position. Now I need to know, did you, did
- 40:51you see what position did she hold?
- 40:55I want to say I feel like she's like a Superintendent somewhere.
- 41:00Oh, yeah, no, I think she's in the school system.
- 41:02Yeah, yeah. Hold on.
- 41:06I mean no disrespect. Yeah.
- 41:09So the the post was the post was fake but her name?
- 41:19Yeah, she's, she's a school administrator.
- 41:22Yeah, her name, her name is Cheryl.
- 41:25That's just show that's Greek for Karen.
- 41:29That just shows Cheryl with AC. That just goes to show you that
- 41:36you know, not everybody in the school systems care about their
- 41:40kids. She's a clear one that does not
- 41:43care about the kids. Crazy.
- 41:46Shy on you, Cheryl? Shame on you.
- 41:53Shame on Taylor Trammell. I guess.
- 41:56I don't know. Did you see the whole illegal
- 41:58bat thing? It was kind of weird.
- 42:00Yeah, I, I thought it was kind of soft on the on the Aaron
- 42:04Boone side of things more than anything.
- 42:08You know, I, I got to hand it to him.
- 42:12He handled it well postgame. I don't know if you saw the
- 42:14quote. You want me to read you the
- 42:15quote? Please do.
- 42:16So basically, what happened, if you don't know, we're talking
- 42:18about Aaron Boone saw something a little fishy, I guess maybe
- 42:21they were talking about at the Yankees dugout, Houston's
- 42:24outfitter, Taylor Trammell. Something fishy with the bat, I
- 42:28guess. Boone had asked that they look
- 42:30into it. The umpires gather together,
- 42:32take a look at the bat and say what's going on here and figure
- 42:34it out. Turns out the bat was ruled
- 42:38illegal, which if you're wondering why it's illegal, MLB
- 42:44regulations require a two color bat to be divided into two
- 42:48sections, each one of solid color.
- 42:51The discoloration, while not likely to impact the
- 42:54performance, made it a non conforming bat.
- 42:57So it wasn't even like he did anything to, you know, adjust or
- 43:01impact the performance. It was just the aesthetic of the
- 43:05bat. Here's the for those unfamiliar
- 43:07when it's it's a black painted barrel.
- 43:12When you hit as a hitter, typically you want to hit on the
- 43:17sweet spot opposite of where the logos are put on.
- 43:20So some bats have a sticker logo.
- 43:22Some bats have like the etched logo where it's actually like
- 43:25carved into the barrel. But most hitters like to hit,
- 43:29you know, when they're taking BP, they're going to hit it on
- 43:31the other side. So this had been obviously kind
- 43:35of, I don't know if anyone's seen like those posts of like
- 43:39the Tiger Woods wedges that went for sale a few years ago were
- 43:43like the sweet spot of the wedges was so worn that you
- 43:45could see that they hit the same spot over and over and over,
- 43:49kind of similar to a bat. But with when it's painted
- 43:52black, it starts to chip away after a while.
- 43:54So it was like bare in that barrel spot that the that you
- 43:58could just see the natural wood color.
- 44:00The black was all gone. My weird things with this number
- 44:03one, the umpiring in that series was horrendous and we don't need
- 44:10to spend too much time on it. But like that the IT was some of
- 44:17the worst umpiring I've seen. And it was like so heavily 1
- 44:20sided. That's neither here nor there.
- 44:23What I thought was strange was that what I thought was soft
- 44:27number one, was that I heard that the Yankees were aware of
- 44:32this the whole series. They noticed this before the
- 44:37first game. What I thought was soft is that
- 44:40Aaron Boone waited for Taylor Trammell to do something
- 44:42positive in a not bat and he yet happened to hit a double, maybe
- 44:47an RBI double, I can't remember what, during that at bat.
- 44:50And then he goes up to the Empire and says, hey, what's up
- 44:52with that bat? My thing that is weird is if it
- 44:57was deemed illegal and enough to remove from the game, why wasn't
- 45:06it seen or talked about beforehand and why was the
- 45:09double allowed to stand? You know what I'm saying?
- 45:12Like it's this weird. I don't think the double should
- 45:15have been taken away, but at the same time if the bats to be
- 45:19legal, well I didn't. I didn't think they got the
- 45:21ruling in Tuck the next day, right?
- 45:23Or was it? That was it.
- 45:24Yeah, I think it had to be pulled, I guess.
- 45:27But like it's just, it's very odd to me that it's whatever it
- 45:31was shaky umpiring or across the board for that entire series.
- 45:36And that's just kind of summed up the way it was done.
- 45:40Well, the context provided by you about, you know, they were
- 45:45aware of it longer than justice. When I bat, that kind of changes
- 45:48things. But had I not known that it to
- 45:51me, an outsider interpreted what Aaron Boone said after the game?
- 45:57You know, I was like, OK, I whatever, can't hate on it.
- 46:00But Boone said frankly that that was something hard for me to do
- 46:04because I don't think Taylor was up to anything.
- 46:06I really don't. In the moment, I felt like a
- 46:08duty to at least check in for my team.
- 46:10But, you know, I'm frankly satisfied with the ruling, the
- 46:13explanation. So I read that and I'm like, OK,
- 46:16fine, whatever, not a big deal. Yeah, I mean, I I think it ended
- 46:19up fine. It's a cosmetic issue.
- 46:21Ultimately, that's what it came. Out.
- 46:22Exactly. It wasn't like it was corked.
- 46:23There's nothing crazy going on it.
- 46:26It was just, I thought it was, I don't know, I thought it was
- 46:28soft to wait for something successful to happen before you
- 46:30point it out. We need, we need to bring corked
- 46:33bats back. We need to break the Internet
- 46:35again. We haven't had we, I don't think
- 46:38we've we've had a corked bat incident.
- 46:40I. Don't know in this.
- 46:42Current age of social media. I need something.
- 46:44I need someone to get busted with something.
- 46:46It's been a while. Give me some bouncy balls
- 46:51falling out of the out of the end cap or something, I don't
- 46:53know. Who knows the Mets option Kodai
- 46:57Senga to AAA. So like we mentioned a couple
- 47:01episodes ago, a. Little tune up?
- 47:04Because of the language in his contract they need, he needed to
- 47:09comply with this decision. It wasn't just like, hey, we
- 47:13need to send you down. He has he has to agree to an
- 47:18option. They can't just they can't just
- 47:25send him down if and when they please.
- 47:27They they have to check with him, be like, hey, are you cool
- 47:31with this? Turns out he was, because he's
- 47:33heading to Syracuse. This is stupid contract to put
- 47:40that in. I mean, I guess he's like a vet
- 47:44overseas before coming over, but.
- 47:45Yeah, but you, you remember. You remember the hubbub.
- 47:49Getting surrounded right now, by the way.
- 47:52Wow, what a time. Yeah, what a time to be live.
- 47:57But you remember the hub UPS run in Sanga before he came over?
- 47:59Like sometimes I I would venture to say in order to lure certain
- 48:04stars like that, you have to add in certain things.
- 48:09You have to add in family shopping spree money you have to
- 48:13add in. Unlimited sushi?
- 48:15What is that what Manny got? Probably that sounds right.
- 48:19You got unlimited sushi or something?
- 48:21Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You got, you got to do things.
- 48:24Like this? That's right.
- 48:26Yeah, I mean, truthfully, if I'm if I'm adding something weird
- 48:28into my contract, it's not like, well, you have to check with me
- 48:31before you option. Like no, forget that.
- 48:33Do option me down whenever you want but like I'm getting free
- 48:36sushi for the length of this contract.
- 48:40Write that down. I if we have, if we talk to JBI
- 48:44want to, I want to dive into that.
- 48:46That's a fun one. I need to know like how many
- 48:49guys are trying to sneak stuff into in the contract.
- 48:53In the fine print, yeah. Well, First off, props a code I
- 48:59sing if you're agreeing to it, because that's it's obviously a
- 49:03little embarrassing. He's embarrassed by his
- 49:05performance, but it's also a little embarrassing to be like,
- 49:07you know, going from ace to sent down in the September stretch.
- 49:12Since the All Star break, O and three with an ERA of 656 and
- 49:16eight starts. No bueno.
- 49:20So good luck in Syracuse, I guess.
- 49:25I don't know who's who are going to get these outs, whatever.
- 49:28That's that's what I'm saying. That goes to show you how bad
- 49:31it's been because you're like, yeah, now we we are literally
- 49:35dying for outs, but we'll see you in Syracuse.
- 49:41They, well, they brought up, what's his name?
- 49:44Brandon. Brandon.
- 49:47No, that's Jonah. Brandon Sprout.
- 49:54They brought up Brandon Sprout for his big league debut today.
- 49:57He went. He went six innings, 6 innings
- 50:00against the Reds, only allowed three.
- 50:02Three runs, 7K. They said they.
- 50:04They no hitter threw 5. Side note, they brought up a
- 50:07reliever who's like family, friends with Paige's family.
- 50:10By the way, his name is Dom Hamill.
- 50:12He's in the bullpen. I don't think he's, I don't know
- 50:14if he's gotten any innings yet, but they brought him up a few
- 50:17weeks ago and I don't know if they sent him back down since,
- 50:21but yeah. Dom Hamill.
- 50:26Grew up over here anyway. I love that for Dom.
- 50:32Yeah. Love that for Dom him.
- 50:34And Paige went to high school together.
- 50:38Any who's good luck, Kodai. Speaking of Kodai Cal Raleigh is
- 50:47up to 53 home runs on the season.
- 50:51Nuke in Atlanta, I don't know if you saw that.
- 50:54I mean goodness, is there a stronger scenario or instance of
- 51:00garbage time? No disrespect, but like, I mean.
- 51:04What? I can't make that argument
- 51:06though. Judge hits a lot of garbage time
- 51:08home runs. Yeah, because he's just not
- 51:10clutch. But that's that's a separate.
- 51:11Conversation. That's not true, but he does hit
- 51:14a lot of garbage home runs. That's not true.
- 51:21He just can't make throws to home right now.
- 51:24He can't. He can't handle the topic of the
- 51:28he can't handle. He can't handle the bright
- 51:30lights. OK.
- 51:32It's that, it's that, it's that clip.
- 51:34It's that clip of Trump. No, no, turn them off.
- 51:37They're too bright. They're too bright.
- 51:40That's. Judge OK, whatever you say.
- 51:45What has he won? What is what has he won?
- 51:50Yeah, that's what I thought. Moving on.
- 51:52Cal Rowley 53 home runs on the season, 1 away from tying the
- 51:58record of 54 in a single season by switch hitter set by He's
- 52:08actually, he's a he's actually, he's actually, he's actually a
- 52:12good Yankee, unlike that fraud we were just talking about.
- 52:19Good Yankee What? Yeah, we were just talking about
- 52:26a non clutch, non good Yankee. I'm this this particular
- 52:30individual was actually a good Yankee.
- 52:32A catcher. No, I said.
- 52:35A switch hitter. Oh, making me out.
- 52:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which, by the way, there was
- 52:41some arguments of Cal Raleigh being better than Mickey Mantle
- 52:45on MLB Network the other day. Oh, and who was this was like
- 52:50Bob Costas? Yeah, no, yeah, I got a last
- 52:55person you want to have that argument with, by the way.
- 52:58Yeah, Yeah. Bob ain't siding with the new
- 53:01guy ever, Bob. Bob grew up in the museum.
- 53:07It's that meme where it's like the person you can't stand made
- 53:10a really good point. It's like, yeah, that's kind of
- 53:12where I'm at with Bob. No disrespect guys had a great
- 53:14career but. Yeah, Cal Raleigh ain't Mickey
- 53:19Mantle yet. Got a ways to go?
- 53:22Yeah, and I saw a thing today. The whole point of this point
- 53:29was to, you know, shed light on the fact that Cal Raleigh is,
- 53:33you know, entering some elite company.
- 53:36But oh show, but I saw something today.
- 53:39Let me see if I can find it or I'm like, holy cow, man.
- 53:43The we, well, I shouldn't say we, but the people making the
- 53:46argument about like, oh, he could be MVP.
- 53:52They said the tweet was Cal Raleigh had a really good May
- 53:57and June. That's it.
- 53:58And when you look at it, dude was hitting 118 in well in
- 54:04March, but he's hitting 253 in April, 194 in July, 173 in
- 54:11August. It was only in May and June
- 54:13where he was he was 300 to higher.
- 54:15May was three O 4 Junior is a 300 hitter both months.
- 54:19Those OP s s were over 1000, but it's 943 OPS in April.
- 54:28But yeah, it I think it doesn't. You don't have to go to, you
- 54:33don't have to look too deep to be like, it's like it's a fun
- 54:37conversation to have. Just like, oh, we got to switch
- 54:40it in, switch it in catcher doing something we haven't seen
- 54:43in some time, but which is awesome, which I kind of kind of
- 54:47I think. It it can, it can be appreciated
- 54:50no matter what. It can absolutely be an awesome
- 54:52season. It's just like I don't again,
- 54:57I've I'll, I'll die on this hill.
- 54:59I don't think there's a glaring enough difference between in the
- 55:02home run category between him and Judge to outweigh the
- 55:07massive differences in all the other major categories.
- 55:13Cal Raleigh. Well, I mean, I if you count
- 55:17March and April or March and August has had three, three
- 55:23calendar months. OPS under 800.
- 55:29Aaron Judge has only 200, a 1000, and that was a 9967 in
- 55:45June and A-923-O. Crap.
- 55:49No, what am I saying? Of course you count August.
- 55:51I thought we were still in August.
- 55:53Of course you count August. So, yeah, further, further
- 55:56bolstering my point here, Cal Raleigh had a 757 in August, 767
- 56:02in July. Yeah.
- 56:03What are we talking about? What are we talking about
- 56:08Goodyear Great year, awesome to see cool to That's the beauty of
- 56:13our sport. I love talking records.
- 56:15I love talking history. I love talking, you know,
- 56:18comparing players against eras like it's cool.
- 56:20It's awesome to see. It's just he's this is not.
- 56:25I think it is true robbery If if Judge doesn't get the MVP.
- 56:30Barring some like insane two week swing in One Direction it's
- 56:39going to take a lot though. There has to be like a.
- 56:44Homer list hit list 2 weeks for judge.
- 56:51Yeah, for what is OPS to dip below like 1000?
- 56:56I don't even think that's possible.
- 56:57It it the only thing I think he's over.
- 56:59He's over 1100. But like, yeah, I don't know if
- 57:03the two weeks is enough for it to drop down below 1000.
- 57:08I think it's. 11-O11O3. Yeah, anyways, whatever.
- 57:13There's an OPS AT2O3 that's or did I say OPS plus OPS plus
- 57:18AT2O3? That is stupid.
- 57:23Yeah. Any who's that's all I got.
- 57:27Cool. Are we are we doing the lot the
- 57:32live next Sunday? The keeping book?
- 57:35Is that next Sunday? Yeah, the stream wifey's in is
