Acuña Jr. Calls Out Manager · The 3-0 Take

0:00
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take, where we talk
0:04
all things Major League Baseball.
0:06
Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
0:10
It all starts. Right now.
0:15
Welcome back to the three O take presented by Chinook Cedry this
0:18
episode 529 I'll be your host Kyle Corwin.
0:23
I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes.
0:29
Nate, how do you do good people and my man Casey, how are we?
0:39
You want to know my thought of the day?
0:41
Just one thought today, huh? Just a singular thought is all I
0:45
got for you today and then we and then we can get out of here.
0:49
No, it's have you seen, have you or anybody else seen that very
0:58
bizarre Angels narrative on MLB Network that they've been
1:03
pushing? Am I the only one?
1:06
Like is this is this like a case by case situation where where
1:11
like, you know, they only push certain commercials of my TVI
1:16
see this Angels promo on MLB Network multiple times a day,
1:23
like multiple times within a game that I'm watching.
1:27
It's the have you not seen the promo?
1:29
It's like clips from MLB Network coach being like the Angel, like
1:33
our friend of the pod Greg Amsinger is in.
1:36
There's like, Angels are going to be the the sneaky team of of
1:41
the season or whatever. And it's just Mike.
1:44
It's just this promo clip. And I'm like, what?
1:48
And it's the only team that I've seen these promo clips for on
1:50
MLB Network. I'm like, what is this narrative
1:52
that we're peddling here? I have a theory that like we're
1:55
all like stuck in different MLBTV like loops to where
2:03
there's like, you know what I'm saying?
2:07
Like I see the same Zen commercials all the time.
2:10
Yep, last year was the, I think it was the Shohei New Balance
2:18
commercial. That's still pumping.
2:19
That's still pumping like but I. Haven't seen it this year I just
2:22
it never comes up for me now so like.
2:24
Validating your point, I see it all the time.
2:27
Right. We're all just like in these
2:28
different matrixes of of MLBTV horrid, horrid commercials.
2:37
The Zen commercials were were such a great thing in the
2:42
beginning and they have just. They lost the plot.
2:44
They lost the plot. They've lost their fastball, so
2:47
like the spray paint of the home plate, it's.
2:55
This Oh man, like they that was brilliant.
2:58
And then they lost the plot. That mean they started like
3:02
keying in like walk or walk off audio.
3:05
And it's like, no, this is, this is not, this is not Zen.
3:08
I don't. Yeah, we can't.
3:10
Can we find something in the middle?
3:11
I don't need you screaming on a walk off.
3:14
And I don't need absolute manufactured sounds, you know,
3:19
You know, those like sound guys that are like for cartoons that
3:23
are like creating sounds and they're like breaking something
3:26
next to the mic and it's supposed to.
3:28
ASMR action OH. Yeah, that's 100% what's
3:31
happening over there. Correct.
3:32
Yeah, I'm with you like there's. Got to be something in between.
3:36
Just crowd noise. It's going to be crowd noise.
3:38
No, that even that that's that's.
3:40
No, but I'm bored with like quiet crowd noise, which is you
3:44
hear like vendors going up and down, hot dogs, beer, something.
3:50
I don't need whatever this is I went over.
3:54
Look, I'm with you and this wasn't intended to be a rant.
3:57
I'm I'm actually wondering where this Angel, this MOB network
4:01
angels sleeper team narrative is coming from.
4:04
It's all I see. Which is I haven't caught any of
4:07
that. Again, not a complaint, just
4:09
curiosity. I did get the the Luis Robert
4:13
commercial quite a bit. Have you gotten that one a
4:16
bunch, Luis Robert? Oh, there more proof, more
4:21
proof, dude, I get the Louise Robert, like you know how what
4:25
the it'll have like it'll give him highlights and then you'll
4:28
hear like different takes from different people.
4:31
Then it's just like clipped together.
4:32
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's always, that's what
4:35
you're getting. Yes, I get Louise Robert.
4:37
This is interesting. Like what's his name?
4:42
Robert Flores from LOV Central. And he's like, he always, it's
4:47
always like Louise Robert. Great nickname.
4:50
La Bandera and it's like that clips with like a Sean Casey
4:55
like take about this. Like I get like Louise Robert
4:59
commercials all the time. This is crazy.
5:02
All right, So we've stumbled upon a new theory here.
5:05
People across the country, baseball fans across the country
5:07
are getting, they're getting pushed different, different
5:12
campaigns, different narratives on MLB Network.
5:15
If you're like, if you're watching MLBTV, OK, I'm going to
5:18
dig into this. If they just mixed it up and I
5:20
got some of yours and you got some of mine.
5:22
But hey, I I could use some La Bandetta over here I'm.
5:26
In my own loop all the time. OK, I'm going to dig into this
5:30
more. I'm going to get I'm going to
5:30
try to get some feedback. I'm I'm this is interesting.
5:34
I mean, I knew like regionally they show like different like
5:37
for local businesses like I get all that, but like.
5:40
You got to do that. They're pushing, they're pushing
5:43
different narratives on teams and players all over the place.
5:45
And this is this is news to me. All right, interesting.
5:49
Interesting you don't get those player profile ones though, huh?
5:51
No, I do. I have not seen Louise Robert.
5:55
That is interesting. Tell you a guy that I've gotten
6:02
time or two before, Ronald Cunha junior and he has made he he's
6:09
made headlines over the weekend and I need to address something
6:13
in the chat first. Speaking of the Braves Brace fan
6:17
in the chat, Andrew asked, Is that silver in your beard or
6:20
leftovers from dinner? I'll have you know I'll have,
6:24
I'll have you know that I kid you not today I literally, I, I
6:30
googled because I've seen it with other people and I'm now
6:33
I'm seeing it myself. Why patch?
6:35
Why do the corners of the beard go Gray before anything else?
6:40
Because that's hit. It's hitting me.
6:42
And I'm like I said, I'm seeing it elsewhere and I need to get
6:45
to the bottom sort of like our little commercial conundrum that
6:48
we were just talking about. I need to get to the bottom of
6:50
of why it's happening you're. Going to get low low rogaine
6:56
beard. Just for man action.
6:57
Yeah. Yeah.
6:58
I don't know. We'll see, huh?
7:01
Let a teammate do that in high school.
7:03
It's pretty funny. He like couldn't grow a mustache
7:05
and it was like barely coming in and then you got like 2.
7:08
Completely different. Scenarios Night Black one.
7:12
Completely different scenarios. Fortunately I don't have that
7:15
problem. But anyway, yeah, little,
7:18
little, little grey action. It's fine.
7:20
It's been. It's been addressed.
7:22
What does the wife think? That's the only thing that
7:23
matters. She probably has feelings about
7:26
it but hasn't told me yet so that's.
7:29
That's not a good sign. Yeah, that's fine.
7:32
They like it, they verbalize it, right?
7:34
So. Well, Speaking of verbalizing,
7:37
Brian Snicker got put in the hot seat for this.
7:40
This Ronald Cunha Junior accent. Accent.
7:45
What? Why did I say accent?
7:46
Sorry, I was reading the chat. Just put a bow on this thing.
7:52
The beard will become grey slowly but surely.
7:54
Mine's mostly grey now, but not my hair.
7:55
Good. I'm.
7:56
I'm happy for you, Jason. Keep that.
7:59
Keep that hair. No, I don't know why I said
8:03
accent, but incident is what I meant to say.
8:07
That's what I meant to say. So it was, well, this was
8:14
Saturday. Saturday, Jared Koenig that.
8:24
Was Friday. Saturday, Jared Koenig, pims a
8:27
ball off the wall, Tries like it out.
8:32
Plays reviewed. How was the second?
8:37
Called out the drama. The issue that resulted was
8:45
Ronald Cunha Junior, who by the way isn't even playing at the
8:49
moment. Tweeted out in response to a
8:53
Mark Bowman tweet that said that was responding to a a user on
8:59
Twitter who said I missed snitch comment on Kelnick's lack of
9:03
hustle and getting thrown out at second last night.
9:05
Mark Bowman, the reporter, said he protected Kelnick by
9:08
replying. Was I supposed to?
9:11
When asked if he had said anything to Kellenick, he
9:14
certainly could have said something.
9:16
See now Kellenick's home run trot put him on the dugout side
9:19
of first base, first base coach's box when the ball hit
9:22
the wall. To which Ronald Acuna Junior
9:26
replied and later deleted. If it were me, they would Take
9:32
Me Out of the game. Which is valid because if you go
9:40
back to 2019, if you go back to 2019, August of 2019, Ronald
9:50
Cunha junior, similar situation, lack of hustle out-of-the-box,
9:56
hosed later taken out of the game by snicker.
10:01
Who said he didn't run. You've got to run.
10:04
It's not going to be acceptable here.
10:07
As a teammate, you're responsible for 24 other guys.
10:10
The name on the front is a lot more important than the name on
10:13
the back. All right, Herb Brooks, what is
10:15
this miracle? Get out of here.
10:17
Anyway? Completely valid response by
10:24
Acuna. What's funny, though, is that,
10:28
and I don't think enough people are are really addressing this
10:31
because they're getting so swept up and like, well, like I've
10:34
seen so many Braves fans. You need to fire snicker.
10:37
The guy came out and said that he didn't even see like, he, I
10:40
don't know if he was napping or what, or maybe he's just trying
10:43
to cover his tracks. Hard, hard to say.
10:45
Yeah, honestly, truthfully, I don't know.
10:47
But he said, he said, I didn't even see.
10:49
I didn't even see the play. I'm like my brother, what?
10:54
What other? There's only one play going on
10:56
in front of you, and this is literally your job to watch and
11:01
manage what's going on in front of you.
11:04
So again, I don't know if Snicker was trying to play dumb,
11:08
if he was trying to cover his tracks, or if he legitimately
11:11
was just caught napping. I mean, he's not a, he's not a
11:13
spring chicken as we know. And that's just yet another
11:18
reason that a lot of these Braves fans, I think, are
11:20
calling for his head. I saw some guy on the social
11:23
media as I need to stay off it for him.
11:26
I saw some guy on there say, I've been calling for this guy's
11:28
head since 2019. I'm like.
11:33
He had a ring mixed in there. There was a ring in there and he
11:36
was at the helm anyway. I didn't realize I, I mean, is
11:41
this look full transparency our our fantasy chat, we have what,
11:46
4-5? Too many.
11:48
Yeah, way too many four or five Braves fans in our fantasy
11:52
league. And the chat was going off and,
11:55
and it seemed to be a pretty common sentiment shared that
12:01
they're like ready to move on. And I thought 2-3 years ago,
12:07
Brian Snicker was like, everyone was like manager of the year
12:11
every year. Like that's just what Braves
12:13
fans were saying. That's.
12:15
How this goes? I didn't realize the leash was
12:20
so short. How quickly they forget.
12:23
I guess I, I mean, look, Acuna is not wrong, obviously it's
12:28
been, it's happened exactly this way.
12:30
So it's like, are there different ways to manage
12:37
different players? Of course, I think for an up and
12:41
coming superstar, and if you're trying to have a precedent set
12:47
on on, hey, you're the leader. Everyone's everyone's eyes are
12:51
on you, that this is the player you are.
12:53
This is the way we we want you to play.
12:57
I get that the Braves low key, a lot of people hate on like the
13:02
Yankee way and and hate on like the Yankee tradition.
13:06
The Braves share very similar ideologies.
13:12
They don't, you know what I mean?
13:13
Like there there's no backwards hats allowed with the Braves.
13:16
And this has been something over, you know, the Bobby Cox
13:21
era and and into today. Like there's certain traditions
13:24
and there's certain unwritten rules that are very much in
13:27
place with the Braves, similar to what the Yankee culture has
13:31
gotten, you know, criticized for in the past or currently.
13:33
But he, Kellnick, should have been pulled.
13:40
I just was, plain and simple. Like I I don't understand why
13:44
the Kellnick leash has been this long.
13:47
I don't understand why the Braves have put up with with
13:50
this mediocrity for this long. It's not been good performance.
13:55
It's not been good enough to allow this kind of stuff to
13:58
happen in a in a season that started off so rough.
14:05
Now you have a new narrative and now you have your manager who's
14:08
not even nipping in the butt like.
14:11
Well, I. Blown out of proportion way
14:14
bigger than it needed to be, all because of a manager's lack of
14:18
awareness. Awareness, decision making,
14:22
staying awake? I don't know.
14:24
The other well, the other thing too, you got to keep it in like
14:26
to answer your question about the the leash.
14:30
Let's not forget jerks and Profar isn't in the mix anymore.
14:34
Sure. So like that was that was sort
14:37
of the next step, I think at least the the the the one that
14:41
didn't require you much, require much thinking.
14:43
Like, yeah, I mean, we could dig into the system a little bit,
14:46
but I guess, I guess Kelnick is the the guy that we just slot in
14:51
for. Now, yeah, I get that.
14:53
I mean, the way I saw I don't I could be an outsider here,
14:57
obviously not watching every brave game there is, but like my
15:02
interpretation of the Celnic move was a buy low scenario
15:05
anyway, right? Hey, change of scenery wasn't
15:11
doing his thing in Seattle. Top prospect at one point.
15:14
Like let's see if we can get something out of him.
15:16
Now. At this point, it's just like I
15:19
I think we just we know who he is.
15:21
I think we've seen what he has to offer.
15:24
That's besides the point. What I mentioned earlier is that
15:26
like guys get managed differently and there could be
15:30
some type of behind closed doors conversation that the Braves are
15:36
or coaches are having with the way they're going about coaching
15:41
a Jared Kelnick and saying maybe he doesn't react well to it,
15:44
maybe he doesn't, you know what I mean?
15:46
Like it, maybe he sits with it. But when it starts to become a
15:50
story like this and then you're not holding all your players to
15:55
the same level of accountability, this is what
15:59
you're going to get. And the worst case scenario has
16:02
happened. Your superstar who you're
16:05
banking on coming back and saving the day, in a way has has
16:12
a point is a point. He's not wrong.
16:15
OK, so then why delete the comment?
16:19
He from the Braves, he from a, he from a, a teammate.
16:24
I don't know. I don't know.
16:29
I mean, it is weird. I'm not going to, I'm, I'm not
16:31
saying I support the idea of putting that tweet out.
16:35
I'm not. I don't like the idea of having
16:38
my best player saying something on social media about my own
16:43
team. Like I, I don't like that.
16:46
But everyone saw it already, so like it.
16:51
I clearly got out. I don't know what the time was
16:54
between posting and deleting, but maybe that's like a new.
16:59
Strategy by it is a new I was literally, I was just thinking
17:01
that cause Jazz did the same thing the other day where he's
17:03
like, it's not F and close on the on the strike or the ball
17:06
call or whatever or what he perceived to be a ball.
17:10
Could be internal fines. I don't.
17:12
Maybe that's the thing, like, you know.
17:14
But guys like that. Teams will find them.
17:16
I don't. I I guess, but I guys like Acuna
17:20
Jazz, I don't think they really care.
17:21
Like they've got they have things that they want to say and
17:24
they're going to say it, which like certain people may not
17:27
matter. Some people it's fine, but like
17:29
that's here, that seems to be just.
17:31
There's potentially a different scenario there where Jazz is
17:34
talking about an umpire and then there's league reprimand versus
17:39
team reprimand with Acuna. That's the only, you know,
17:43
that's the difference. I'm thinking in my head but.
17:45
That I think you're right though, I think that's that
17:47
seems to be the new thing now get the because you know people.
17:50
Get it out long enough to get noticed and then delete it.
17:53
Let it circulate and then you can sort of I, I don't maybe say
17:59
face isn't the right way to say it, but for lack of better way
18:01
of saying it, you sort of say face like, hey, well, I like I
18:04
took it back, whatever, but I got my I got what I wanted to
18:07
say out. There one could argue it gets
18:08
more hype when it gets deleted. It seems that way.
18:13
It seems like it sparks more of a conversation when it later
18:16
when it gets. Later deleted the since deleted
18:18
post that I keep seeing. Yeah.
18:20
Yeah, because it's like the original post and then the the
18:24
like that caption always does it.
18:25
But it's it's not a good scenario.
18:29
Like I was saying that it's a rough start to the season.
18:33
You have these, you have a guy go down with suspension.
18:37
You have you're waiting for Strider to come back.
18:40
He gets put back on the shelf after one start.
18:43
You're waiting for your MVP candidate to come back.
18:46
But while he's working on coming back, he's ruffling feathers
18:51
with with social media comments like this is worst case
18:54
scenario. And I'm here to ask like are are
18:57
the wheels falling off? That's a legitimate question.
19:03
I know it's April, but it's it's not yet May and I just listed a
19:10
laundry list of of reasons why it may be time to make a move at
19:16
the helm. And a lot of teams are or a lot
19:21
of people are having this team as as a a division winner.
19:26
Well, they have won four straight, so I mean.
19:29
Barely snuck it out tonight, by the way.
19:31
Well, wins win. You and his SO Iglesias tried
19:34
everything he could to cough it up.
19:36
You and I both know that a wins a win at the end of the day.
19:40
So I'm not going to, I'm not going to freak out there.
19:42
They're like, you know, even despite all the things that are
19:45
going on, if you're finding a way to win ball games.
19:48
Winning, winning, winning. I was going to say winning has a
19:50
way of curing these things, but last thing I'll say on the
19:53
county thing because I don't want to.
19:54
I don't, I don't want to portray this idea that like we're
20:00
letting them off it. Like be better.
20:04
Like I go ahead, call me an old man, call me like whatever.
20:08
Like dude should be able to pimp ball.
20:09
Like sure, but make sure that it's out You're Jared Kalnick.
20:13
Like and again, Jared Kalnick, you're you're light years ahead
20:17
of me in terms of baseball skill.
20:19
But are you a Ronald Lacuna junior?
20:21
Are you a Juan Soto? Are you an Aaron Judge?
20:24
That's like have have some awareness.
20:27
Super super relevant argument right there.
20:31
Because like teams and coaches will put up with certain things
20:35
if you can bring that kind of talent that often.
20:40
Jared Kalanick does not bring it nearly often enough to have
20:45
antics like this. I have 1000% agree.
20:50
And don't tell me that he's the future because Verdugo was
20:53
brought in because of no trust in this kid.
20:57
Braves are in a weird spot, man. And I think Verdu has already
21:00
had a four hit game. I saw he didn't have one of
21:02
those with the Yankees last year.
21:04
Yeah. But yeah.
21:06
But yeah, but no. But yeah, the last thing I'll
21:09
say, it's just like it the Oh my gosh, the the payoff for these,
21:18
these pimped balls that barely scrape the wall, the the payout
21:25
is so minimal, like sick. It looks, it looks awesome on a
21:29
clip for a clip on social. But the downside if it happens
21:34
like this, and this isn't the first time that it's happened in
21:37
the league or the sport, is that you're going to get hoses.
21:43
Second, you're going to look like an idiot.
21:45
You're going to get called out by people.
21:47
You're going to get you're going to start internal drama the way
21:50
the way there's they're seeing it play out now.
21:54
Just you know, even a light jog would would probably benefit
21:59
more than just thinking you got all of it and it it hits the top
22:03
of the wall. Just a thought.
22:05
And again call, call me an old head, whatever it's.
22:08
Just like, but that's true. Like these guys, these are just
22:11
issues. That can be avoided.
22:13
That's all I'm. Saying all the time, they hit so
22:18
many baseballs every day. They know what it feels like
22:21
when they get it. They know.
22:26
So that's why this speaks even worse because it's like you
22:32
didn't get all of it. And even if you want that post
22:36
on social media, all the comments are going to be like,
22:38
bro barely got out and you're pimping it like you walked it
22:42
off in Game 7 at last story here and make fun of me for being a
22:49
Yankee Homer or whatever. But like.
22:51
Dude, you're a Yankee. There's come on, there's a story
22:54
of, and Jeter tells it all the time where he is on second, goes
23:00
to steal 3rd and he gets thrown out and it's the first out of
23:02
the inning and he's running back to the dugout and all he does is
23:07
just go sit next to Joe Torre because he was like, I know that
23:13
I was going to get chewed out. So I just went and sat next to
23:15
him and Joe didn't say anything. Couple minutes goes by and he
23:20
looks at me and he goes, I know I get it.
23:25
And that was it, Jeter says. I won't do it again.
23:29
Like there's there. I understand letting players
23:32
play. I understand letting the game
23:34
being fun. I get that.
23:36
I'm not trying to to remove fun from the game.
23:42
But if there's not that level of authority in the dugout from
23:46
your manager, if there's not an A, a small little sliver of
23:52
respect and fear that has to be in place with authoritative
23:57
figures. This is the kind of stuff that's
24:00
going to happen. And you can be a player's coach,
24:03
you can have all that, But a certain point, there has to be a
24:06
line drawn. And you see a less and less and
24:10
less and less of that. And shame on Brian.
24:13
Snicker Snicker, because that's the whole argument of having an
24:17
older coach. Then we see the drastic opposite
24:21
of a Ron Washington saying no phones in the clubhouse.
24:26
Make fun of them all you want, but he's at least drawing that
24:29
line, which is strange. Which by the way, I don't know
24:33
if you've seen anything on that. I, I saw something today.
24:35
Apparently they're buying into it.
24:38
Apparently they're buying into it.
24:41
I don't. Know shame shame on on on our
24:43
generations to just absolutely talk so much trash towards older
24:50
generations that have had that have forgotten more about
24:54
baseball than than we'll ever know like it's it's a shame it
24:58
really is I'm done we can move on I have other rants to give by
25:05
the way, because these next few topics are.
25:09
Love that. Let's let's talk let's talk
25:13
about that very thing. Max Freed loses a no hitter
25:17
after they retroactively change a an error to a hit in At what
25:25
point in the game did it happen? I mean, I know he made it 7 2/3
25:31
but this was OK. Bottom 6 is when the when the
25:38
when the error slash hit occurred and then it was changed
25:42
in the 8th. In the 8th, which is when he was
25:47
pulled anyway. So for those unfamiliar, Max
25:53
Reed was dicing playing in in Tampa.
25:57
Well, he had a no hitter going, yeah.
25:58
And new speed phenom Chandler Simpson rolls over a ball to
26:09
Goldschmidt. I I'm in the camp that it he
26:13
would have beat it out just because of he has insane speed.
26:18
He's got, he's got Max beat to the bag.
26:20
Yeah, for sure. He had him.
26:22
He had him now to be. Fair for anyone that watched the
26:24
game, he hit the same ball a couple his last at bat and Max
26:30
Reid beat him to the bag. Crazy athlete Max Reid, he beat
26:34
him in the bag on that same exact scenario.
26:38
Fast forward to this, Goldie clanks it off the wrist, gets
26:43
called in error in the 6th inning, no hit, bid still
26:48
intact. Max finishes the 6th, finishes
26:53
the 7th before coming out for the 8th.
27:00
No announcement, nothing said. You just see a little 1 tally in
27:07
the hit column as he's coming back into out to the mound in
27:11
between innings to warm up. Now he does give up another hit.
27:18
The argument is who who knows? He was calling his own game.
27:22
But like is does Austin Wells see that?
27:25
Does he change his approach now that the hit has been given up?
27:29
Does coaching see it? Is there a different, you know
27:32
what I'm saying? Like there's all those different
27:34
things being brought about. My issue, it's not the fact that
27:38
it was switched to a hit. I just told you I'm in the camp.
27:41
I think Chandler Simpson would have beat that out.
27:44
Goldie was pretty far off the bag.
27:46
Simpson can move. I think he beats it out.
27:49
I think it's a hit. I I said when it happened that
27:51
it should have been called a hit.
27:53
Anyway appreciate that thank you.
28:01
My issue is with this changing 2 innings later.
28:09
My issue is that it your official scorer at home.
28:17
For those unaware, the home scorer is the official score for
28:21
games, so if it's at Tampa Bay Rays, it is the Tampa Bay Rays
28:29
scorer that is the official scorer for the game.
28:32
Which is wild when you consider where they're playing at this
28:34
point in time. But which is?
28:35
Wild. Just kind of weird.
28:37
Just just weird. I don't.
28:42
I don't understand this. I don't understand the time
28:46
because there's only there's this.
28:48
It's very obvious why it got changed.
28:51
If you're allowing that much time to pass before you change,
28:55
I can I can understand same inning, I can understand the
28:59
next half. I can understand that you you
29:03
don't have to watch games where it gets changed pretty quickly.
29:06
I was going to, yeah, I was going to ask you because I saw
29:07
Michael Kay had went into a little bit of a fit over this.
29:11
And I'm like, yeah, I mean, if you want it if, which maybe he
29:15
was, but like, if you want to get like nitpicky over the
29:18
length of time, OK, sure. Like let's have a conversation
29:22
about it. But to act like calls don't get
29:24
retroactively changed. It happens all the time.
29:27
Somewhat. I mean given the issue like
29:31
somewhat frequently like I it. Happens that.
29:35
I bet it happens more often than you hear broadcasters even
29:39
mention it now. A lot of broadcasters keep
29:42
score. They keep book when they're in
29:44
the booth. So that's sometimes why you why
29:47
you will hear that because they'll reference that and then
29:49
they make jokes about white out and their score book is ruined.
29:52
Whatever. My issue is just that the time
29:57
that it was changed, the length of time that passed, the time
30:01
that it was changed, they hadn't gotten a hit yet.
30:06
You're affecting decisions at that point.
30:09
You're affecting like when guys are going for no hitters, pitch
30:14
count is almost always in play here, Bullpen arms, like all of
30:19
there's a ripple effect to this that we can't just sit here and
30:22
say, oh, it would have been a hit anyway.
30:26
There's more to it. I'm not even arguing that.
30:30
It's just the fact that they changed it 2 innings later,
30:33
didn't announce it and it's it's kind of soft in my opinion, but
30:39
that's the Tampa Bay Rays. I just did a little trivia.
30:44
Oh, little little shots fired, shots fired.
30:48
Well, sorry I I processed that a little late because I was
30:51
looking up some trivia, but I'd take it in there, taking a
30:54
chance to pull some shots at the Rays soft.
31:06
Well, we could go into that, but I won't.
31:09
The short you mentioned pitch count always being in play for
31:13
these no hitters more often than not.
31:15
I was curious, had this thought real fast.
31:18
What was what was the fewest amount of pitches thrown in a no
31:20
hitter 83? I was.
31:23
Going to say 89 by Daryl Kyle. For the Astros in 1993 against.
31:28
Daryl Kyle. The amazing Mets love that.
31:36
It's weird stuff, man. It's a weird thing.
31:38
And and weird baseball stuff happens all the time.
31:41
And that's why we love it, because there's weird things
31:44
like we, we genuinely see something new every year, every
31:49
season we see something we're like, I can't remember ever
31:53
noticing or seeing that or hearing that, witnessing that,
31:57
whatever it is. And it's cool until your team,
32:01
you know, gets bit by it. I'm just glad he did end up
32:04
giving up another hit and it's not like fully in question, you
32:08
know what I mean? Another incident with your
32:14
beloved Yankees, Aaron Judge's home run call getting pulled
32:19
back. Well, it was.
32:23
It was never. Yeah, I was going to say it was
32:25
actually never a home run to begin with, but you get what I'm
32:27
saying. Called, called foul on the
32:29
field. Speaking of it stayed foul.
32:33
I don't. I, Speaking of trivia, did a
32:36
little trivia research myself today because I was curious
32:40
because I didn't know. And I was like, this might be
32:42
helpful to know, you know that the average minor league foul
32:46
pole, you know what the height is.
32:52
I'll give you 30 feet. 30 feet exactly.
32:56
That's the average. You know what the average height
32:59
of an MLB foul pole is? I'll give you 45.
33:03
I'm thinking you already knew the answer I.
33:05
Really didn't. Is it 45?
33:07
I'm thinking you know the answers to your question.
33:08
No, I was thinking like reference of the monster
33:11
honestly. Yeah, I don't know if well, let
33:14
me let me let me backtrack a little bit.
33:16
I I said average. I'm maybe that's not the right
33:19
word to use, but in terms of what's preferred by those
33:24
respective levels, I, I found that 30 feet is what you kind of
33:29
need at the, at the minor league level.
33:31
And 45 is sort of the, the standard for major parks.
33:36
Whether it's the actual average, I I couldn't tell you, but 30
33:39
and 45 is what we're looking at. And given that the game took
33:45
place at a minor league park, that's what we're dealing with.
33:48
But the the call itself, I, I I'm pretty indifferent.
33:56
My take away from the whole thing though, is the amount of
34:00
people that were posting screenshots of the broadcast and
34:06
like circling the ball in relation to where it was or
34:11
where it was in relation to the foul pole from a camera angle
34:16
that's in like the third, like the third baseline, like street
34:23
level. And people are like, it's
34:25
clearly fair. I'm like, that's clearly not the
34:28
angle you're supposed to be looking at it from, if
34:30
anything's. Clear.
34:31
It's that there was the first base side where like 'cause it
34:35
landed in that, like in that tree and it, it was very fair.
34:43
Like very fair. I don't know why they kept
34:45
showing that third base angle though.
34:46
That does nothing. That shows nothing.
34:48
I I think they're probably used to being able to do that in like
34:55
a state because you can see when like the ball goes like it kind
34:58
of like disappears for that split second when it's going
35:01
behind the pole. Like this was irrelevant because
35:04
it was above the pole. Yeah, but the first base angle
35:08
was like it, it was like it, it wasn't close.
35:12
It was like 1520 feet fair. It was wild.
35:18
It was wild that it didn't get overturned.
35:20
It just doesn't make sense that we were joking in in fantasy
35:24
because I I ended up losing by like 11 or something like that
35:27
this week or this past week. But at that point it was before
35:31
the night game and who I was playing Andrew in the chat and
35:34
we'll just be open with it. Andrew had Chandler Simpson who
35:39
had a error turned into a hit at this point, I was, he was only
35:42
up by like 4 points and then I had judge home run taken away.
35:47
I was like, well, that would have been the difference, but he
35:50
ended up winning by a bigger margin anyway.
35:53
But still, man, it's just, I, I don't understand.
35:56
I don't understand how it's not the umpires on the field and
36:00
that judge had a post game interview and he's like, it's
36:02
not the it's not the umpires fault.
36:04
It's it's just whoever is in New York, whoever's.
36:09
Watching, it's not even New York.
36:12
It's not even New York that I have an issue with at this point
36:14
when these things happen, it's it's the willing, it's like the
36:21
willful decision to not and go like we're we're always talking
36:25
about like what's way, what are some ways we can incorporate
36:28
technology to enhance game gameplay, enhance the the speed
36:33
of the game, reduce questionable calls.
36:37
You're telling me that you can't stick some sort of what I would
36:42
venture say is probably a basic type of camera, some sort of
36:47
like 3 like a GoPro or something on the top of these foul poles?
36:51
Brother, I'm telling you, it's definitely possible.
36:55
It's definitely possible. That's I know.
36:57
Like I don't know a whole lot about camera technology.
37:01
I mean, I know a little bit. If they can shove a camera in
37:04
the pylons of the end zone so you can see players diving in
37:08
and reaching the football over the goal line or over the pylon
37:11
like you can, you can absolutely do it on top of a foul pole.
37:15
I'm in the industry. I'm telling you can put a camera
37:17
out there. It it can, it can work just
37:19
fine. I don't get it.
37:22
You can put a camera in the dirt for the Home Run Derby.
37:25
I mean, I know it's like a little different, but like
37:27
clearly they're they're not adverse to putting cameras in
37:29
places that you maybe hadn't considered before.
37:34
Stupid. I don't know, it's stupid.
37:36
Put an angle, put an angle behind, put an angle behind the
37:40
foul pole. Now this is a little bit
37:42
different. There's, I don't know, you can't
37:44
put it in a tree. But like, still, I don't
37:48
understand why some of these are still in question.
37:50
And on a separate note, we didn't have this topic either,
37:53
but like, did you see the way the Dodgers Rangers game ended?
37:57
Was it similar? I think.
37:58
It was on Sunday. No, I think it was Wyatt
38:02
Langford trying to swipe second slides in and he was like a pop.
38:07
Up slide. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:09
As he's standing up, he like apparently got tagged.
38:13
Couldn't see it, just like yeah, and lost.
38:18
I don't understand how there's this disconnect with review.
38:21
I don't get it. I mean, tennis is a great
38:26
example, Like the technology they have to determine whether
38:28
balls in or not. You're telling me we can't
38:31
incorporate something like that into a, into a ballpark?
38:35
That's what they're using for the ABS system.
38:38
Or something like that. I don't know.
38:40
Whatever. I don't know, man.
38:42
It's just you can't. Yeah, the angle, like we can
38:46
figure out distance, but we can't figure out like angle left
38:51
or right. We can figure angle up and down,
38:53
but we can't figure angle left or right.
38:55
I mean this. That should be able to tell you.
38:57
This it's crazy dude. This stat cast data that that
39:01
gets pumped out there like the the stat cast could tell you if
39:05
a ball nicked the a feather of a bird in mid air.
39:10
But you're telling me we can't figure out like what?
39:14
And, And look, I understand there's complaining and then
39:17
there's like throwing out ideas that seem pretty feasible and
39:21
just seem rather reasonable. This isn't complaining.
39:25
This is just a simple, this is like a, it begs the question
39:29
kind of thing where it's like, how, how do we not have this
39:33
technology like fair foul? Come on, we we, we can measure
39:38
just about anything in baseball these days.
39:41
Throw a camera at the base of the foul pole straight up it in
39:46
fair territory, just barely just put that sucker straight up and
39:51
all it's got to do is just look up and you could see a ball
39:55
going I you have it for again football.
39:59
The uprights. Yeah, that's in question all the
40:05
time. Every week there's a
40:06
questionable did it go over the go over the upright or not like?
40:12
Replay needs an overhaul and I don't know what that looks like,
40:16
but I'll I'll, I'm willing to run that committee if you will
40:19
be on it with. Hey, I'm, I'm in, I'm in.
40:23
Speaking of things getting overhauled and seeing some some
40:26
people calling, wow, there's nothing new.
40:28
They've been calling for it. Certain people, I'll say,
40:33
calling for a safety bag at first base.
40:38
And this is in relation to the Louisa rise collision that
40:43
actually led him to being carted off the field and sent to the
40:47
hospital, which he never you never liked to see.
40:51
But fortunately I saw that the I think he was released.
40:55
I think he's good. It's on the seven day IL for a
40:59
concussion. Yeah.
41:00
So, well, yeah, I mean, all things considered.
41:03
That's pretty good. Yeah, he's, he's OK 'cause that
41:05
when you see a guy go down and just doesn't move for however
41:09
long, like you're going. What happened?
41:12
Brother's out. You see that sports science
41:15
stuff all the time where when you get when you get not.
41:18
I mean, it's it's certainly more intense in football when those
41:22
guys get their bells rung, but the brain does some pretty wild
41:27
things like when you get rocks like that.
41:30
And obviously no intent here, just a a Bang Bang play at first
41:33
but goodness. It's too bad, it really is.
41:42
It is weird that they give that little 3 foot wide and I don't
41:47
even know if it's three feet the in foul territory lane for
41:52
runners to run in, but then you put the base in fair territory.
41:55
It is a strange thing where you're like, that doesn't why
42:01
did we make it that way? I think the bigger base has been
42:06
helpful. I think it's it's had its perks.
42:10
But this is just that perfect angle where again, like no one's
42:14
really doing anything wrong as a base runner.
42:17
That's kind of how you're taught is to get into the throwing lane
42:20
a little bit as, as legally as you can try to get into the
42:23
throwing lane as as a second baseman, you got to square up.
42:33
And sometimes that throw just kind of takes you up the line.
42:36
And that's what happened. And it's, it sucks.
42:40
I don't think there's any anyone at fault here.
42:42
It's just, it's odd, man. It's a weird thing.
42:46
I don't, I don't know. I'm I don't think I'm in for a
42:48
safety base though. Yeah, I know.
42:50
I just went on that little spiel about like things that are seem
42:54
pretty obvious to improve the game, make the game better
42:57
doesn't necessarily apply here. I don't I don't know if I if I'm
43:01
in support of the safety bag. I think you know, like these
43:04
things happen and it sucks for sure, but like just I mean.
43:11
Yeah. But not to be that guy.
43:13
Like oh it's always been this way, but like baseball literally
43:16
is characterized by having 4 bags, not 5.
43:20
It's true. That I guess that's my old, my
43:24
old head take of the day. I don't know but.
43:26
Just I like it. The I think.
43:28
You have like, think about the way like a a first baseman could
43:31
potentially navigate that extra bag.
43:34
That'd be kind of weird. Yeah.
43:35
You know what I mean? Yeah.
43:37
Like, how do you. You can't have them separate.
43:40
Then you got guys stepping in the middle and you're screwed
43:42
there too. So these bases clearly have to
43:44
be connected. And then you have like your foul
43:48
territory, first base side and maybe like a drop third strike
43:51
or something. And you see that first baseman
43:54
kind of crossover in a foul territory.
43:57
Like is he going to be able to use that extra bag?
44:00
Like it would it would it would mess with things a little too
44:04
much. I'm not about it.
44:08
Hope Louis, your eyes is all right, though, because we've
44:10
seen like Anthony Rizzo like once he when he collided with
44:15
Tatis, he like you know what I mean?
44:17
And you see guys like who I think of who's the outfielder
44:22
just had like a bunch of concussions and it just never
44:27
seemed to like really get back to being it's a few years ago.
44:32
So like collisions and with the wall.
44:35
And you know what I'm thinking about though, right?
44:40
Now I'm curious. You got me wondering here.
44:46
Just like couldn't come back and it was mainly A concussion
44:52
thing. It was like, I think Grady
44:54
Sizemore dealt with it a lot in his career, didn't he?
44:59
Oh, I didn't. How far back are you going?
45:01
Not that far, but like that kind.
45:03
That name came to mind. I think there was some
45:06
concussion stuff and then there was like Travis Darno, maybe he
45:11
got. He's gotten at least 4.
45:14
I think there was like some like Vertigo going on and like just
45:18
weird stuff, man. It's.
45:21
I oh, I know what you're who you're talking about.
45:27
Ryan Malcastle had Vertigo. Yeah.
45:31
Austin Meadows. Austin Meadows.
45:33
That could have. Been who I was thinking of was
45:35
Austin Meadows. Yeah.
45:38
So you just you hope that Louis Rice doesn't deal with like long
45:42
term issues with this stuff. Concussions are weird.
45:46
I, I get it like if, if any of you guys are like fans of
45:49
football too and you're like, oh, they, they get them all the
45:51
time, they're fine. It's just it's not the same.
45:53
The hand eye coordination needed for this sport clearly needs
46:00
different brain waves. No offensive football players,
46:03
but. Shots fired, Shots fired.
46:08
Grain. Cells missing in that game
46:10
typically. Got a few things here.
46:14
Otani is officially a dad which is horrendous news for the rest
46:21
of the league. You never.
46:24
Dad, strength is is not is not something we were we were
46:30
needing to add to the to the. Yeah, to the big player for
46:34
Otani, Yeah, You never as an opponent, you never want to see
46:38
the best player in the game really get like the Super Mario
46:43
mushroom upgrade for free. Really.
46:48
It's not like he had to really. I mean, yeah, he had to, like,
46:52
do his part to to make this happen, you know, but.
46:56
Like. I mean, just out of nowhere,
47:01
like, Oh yeah, here, by the way, here's your dad's strength and
47:04
go put up like a 6070 season. I don't know.
47:08
I don't know. That they were pregnant, I
47:10
didn't know. No, yeah, we did.
47:14
Because I'm pretty sure we talked about when MLB got their
47:17
hands on this news and it was all it all.
47:19
It's all they posted about for like the day.
47:21
And I'm like that. Was the wedding.
47:23
No, no, well, that too. But when we caught wind like
47:27
Otani had a bride O'Connor he. Just like randomly had a bride.
47:32
Like he didn't even know he's dating anybody.
47:33
That's true, yeah. Yeah, he's married.
47:35
And then MLB ran with it. But when Otani when it when the
47:38
news came out that his his wife was expecting and will be ran
47:43
with it. And I'm like, this is kind of
47:44
weird, like I'm I'm excited for them, no doubt.
47:47
I'm excited for them both for sure.
47:49
That's that's an awesome, awesome chapter of life.
47:53
I'm sure they're about to embark on.
47:55
But like why is it will be posting about their like, why is
47:58
it will be posting their sonogram picture?
48:01
I don't know, I don't know. I don't know if they did that,
48:03
but I'm pretty sure they did. Don't quote me on that are.
48:07
You in on this gender reveal thing that's been going around?
48:10
Have you seen it? Dude, OK, so on the surface I'll
48:14
say I think, I think gender reveals have gotten just way out
48:19
of hand and a little over the top.
48:21
But I got to say, and I this full transparency, I'd be a man
48:26
lacking, lacking integrity if I didn't say this.
48:29
But I saw Bryce Harper and his wife's post today, like their
48:34
joint collaboration posts on Instagram today.
48:37
And I you kind of see the you see the behind the scenes where
48:45
assuming I'm interpreting this right, which I didn't, I maybe I
48:49
just didn't, maybe this was made public and I just didn't catch
48:52
the details. But I didn't know that this is
48:54
how they went about giving him the bat.
48:59
But apparently Trey is in the dugout with him holding both
49:03
bats, like giving each one back and forth to him.
49:07
And he finally gives him the blue one and he looks at him
49:09
like that. There you go, buddy.
49:13
And he's got Bryce got this like big, big grin on his face.
49:16
And they showed, they showed. Hold on.
49:21
Was it the I think it was maybe the first first clip of it.
49:25
They showed the clip of her seeing him come out with a bat.
49:33
Yeah, that's sick. And I'm like, and I commented, I
49:36
was like, I love this so much. That's like that's, I mean the,
49:41
you know, the freaking. I.
49:43
Hannon's exploding a little too much, but something like that
49:46
I'm I'm down with. I'm a fan.
49:48
I always like those videos where like they try to get like the
49:52
the sibling involved where it's like a balloon, then they have
49:56
to pop it, but then they end up like cutting the string and then
49:58
the balloon just floats away and they're like, no, I was like,
50:01
those are my favorite. But yeah.
50:03
Yeah. I thought I saw something else
50:05
where I don't remember what player they were like doing it
50:08
for like a fan. Like a fan had asked them to do
50:11
the reveal and then whoever I I honestly could have been Bryson
50:15
Stott. I feel like came out with like a
50:17
wristband and it was pink. Wasn't that?
50:22
I thought that was. That's kind of wild.
50:25
I thought that was for him too. Was that for him?
50:29
I've seen fan stuff somehow get. Oh, for a friend's baby.
50:33
You're right. You're right.
50:34
Good call. Yeah.
50:36
Love that. I I can get behind this.
50:38
I like, I like, I kind of, I kind of dig the on field.
50:42
If you don't like it, If you're a hater, there's 0% chance that
50:49
you wouldn't want one of your favorite players to do that for
50:52
you and your wife. Great point.
50:54
You know what I mean? Case closed.
50:55
Like, would you say no to that? I would not say no to that.
50:59
I would I would weep tears if if Bryce Harper.
51:03
That's what I'm. Strolled out to the plate with
51:05
that's. What I'm saying, I would weep if
51:07
Judge came out with freaking pink Air Force One cleats and
51:13
you're just like, we're having your girl.
51:15
Like what a sick way to find out.
51:19
I like it. I'm here for it.
51:21
Pink beard die from judge? Sure because that's I guess
51:25
technically allowed? No, sure, nothing stopping him.
51:29
I don't think he can really grow on very well, but valid.
51:33
Point the Reds. I don't know if you, I'm sure
51:37
you saw it, the blow out against the OS over the weekend 24 to 2.
51:42
Yeah, some of those dudes had like a a good week.
51:48
Dude I was going to say it was so it was Noel V Marte and
51:53
Austin wins combined for 11 hits and 13 RB is and the Reds 24 to
51:59
2 win. That's a good week.
52:01
Marte went 5 for seven with 7 ribbies and a home run.
52:05
One of these guys I think had a Grand Slam.
52:07
Maybe it was Austin wins. I might be getting that wrong,
52:10
but why? Pretty sure one of these guys
52:11
had a Grand Slam. Austin wins 6 for seven, six
52:14
RBI's in a home run. That's a that's a week.
52:21
That's a week quick. Man, like that's rough.
52:24
Let's I'm let's look that up. Who's the last team that gave up
52:30
20 plus runs and won the World Series?
52:36
It's a fair question because we're all asking out what the
52:39
Braves are like. Oh it was the last team that
52:41
started O and eight and made the playoffs.
52:43
Nobody ask ChatGPT. ChatGPT they need to work work
52:59
on some things. They struggle in the baseball
53:02
category, don't they? Just a lot of things really
53:05
they're it's very incomplete. OK, whether this is true, don't
53:11
hold me to it. But what chat or what?
53:14
What Google AI is telling me? I don't trust Google AI.
53:20
Pump the brakes in the chat. They hit their home runs.
53:24
Opposition players, including Martez, Grant, Sam, frankly, my
53:29
question remains, well, I just saw that and I needed to address
53:34
it. Like you trust me, you're not.
53:37
You don't care. You rack up the RB is.
53:40
Yeah, yeah. You don't care anyway.
53:45
So, Ash. Is bitter about his his fantasy
53:47
team performance this year so far.
53:49
That's all shots fired. Shots fired.
53:52
So Google AI in the on Google says.
53:57
Sounds like googly guy when you say that.
54:00
Google AI. Google Guy.
54:04
Says the New York Mets were the last team to give up 20 or more
54:07
runs in a regular season game and go on to win the World
54:10
Series. This was in 1986.
54:12
The Mets were defeated. 20 last World Series. 22 to 10 by the
54:18
Atlanta Braves in a regular season game.
54:21
Been a minute. And then it and then it proceeds
54:25
to say generative AI is experimental.
54:27
So it's possible that neither of those things happened in 1986,
54:32
but well, the World Series obviously did.
54:34
But the 20 more runs and it being against the Braves saying
54:37
it's possible, that never happened.
54:39
According to googly guy. According to googly guy, yeah.
54:44
That would be a way better AI name by the way.
54:47
Googly guy, Googly guy. Yeah, I can dig it.
54:51
The last note I had here was we've touched on one of them,
54:55
Chandler Simpson and Nick Kurtz getting the call out of Chandler
54:59
Simpson, obviously a few games under his belt already, but Nick
55:01
Kurtz for the A's getting the call up today.
55:05
Yeah, for those who haven't watched Chandler Simpson run,
55:10
it's it's. Stupid.
55:12
It's different bro. Before I forget, like you're
55:15
talking routine ground balls to the right side that are a
55:20
problem, Potentially any ground ball to the shortstop He's beat
55:26
now. It's crazy.
55:27
He beat out a ball. I saw it.
55:29
It was he was playing in Durham. I saw he he beat out a ball to
55:33
a, a, a like a 2-3 hopper to the first baseman.
55:38
Yeah, because it it got the first baseman back on his heels
55:42
and he had to like, get the momentum going back and legs it
55:45
out. What was that?
55:46
He also scored. He scored from second on a SAC
55:49
fly in college. Saw that, saw that.
55:51
That's wild. But what I was going.
55:54
To who was that center field was really fast.
55:57
That really narrows it down. The one I was like couldn't hit
56:00
but it was really fast. Oh oh dude, I know exactly
56:07
Billy. Hamilton yeah.
56:09
Is this a is this a Billy Hamilton?
56:11
2 point O? I've seen Chandler Samson hit.
56:14
All I see is just the only highlights I see of him rolling
56:18
over. He can, well he can.
56:20
I mean clearly it's working, but he hit, he was hitting three O 1
56:25
and AAA. So he like he can hit for
56:27
average but brings really 0 pop to the table.
56:32
But no what I was going to say before I forget.
56:34
Speaking of running, did you see the video of Pete Alonzo?
56:38
Please tell me you saw this. What was?
56:41
That that looks like when the skates are going out from under
56:46
you on the on the skating rink, that was like.
56:49
I didn't think that was. Real like running like a cartoon
56:53
character. I didn't think that was real.
56:56
I said no, this. I've seen way too many deep
56:59
fakes. I've seen way too much AI to
57:01
know that that's not real. And sure enough, it was.
57:04
That was awful. Pete, what are you?
57:09
What are you doing, guy? What are you?
57:11
Doing that that I mean, it makes sense.
57:14
Like it, it just it's that's Pete.
57:16
I don't think you see a lot of guys like you don't see a lot of
57:20
views like that. That's true.
57:22
That's true, you know that's true.
57:26
But those were horrendous. My hips hurt just watching.
57:33
Yeah. Had to been Pete, though.
57:35
Like there's no one else that that that happens to.
57:38
Pete's got some rough luck, I feel.
57:41
Yeah. But he brings it on himself,
57:43
yeah. Yeah, it's getting to the point
57:45
though where I, I think I'm starting to feel bad a little
57:47
bit for Pete, I mean. You think the whole world is
57:50
bullying him at this moment? It's getting, it's getting bad.
57:53
Like I don't, I don't condone, I don't condone that kind of
57:56
bullying. But it's well documented how we
58:00
feel about Peter Alonso. But it's getting to the point
58:02
now. Where that's like like let's
58:05
give, let's give it a speed coach.
58:07
Maybe it's. Getting to be a little much.
58:11
Yeah. Nick Kurtz for the A's.
58:13
A lot of people buying stock and for good reason.
58:16
Number four pick in last year's draft should be ready to go
58:22
Wednesday. I feel like the Rays are like on
58:31
the brink of all of these names just coming at you soon again.
58:35
What do the rays have to do with this?
58:38
What were you talking about? Chandler Simpson?
58:39
And I'm kind of going back to it, but like, I just feel like
58:42
the, the, the Camineros, like who's who are these like
58:48
outfielders that they're just rolling out there that I'm like,
58:53
all of them are hitting like 300 right now.
58:55
And you're just like they're on the brink of of breaking through
58:59
in like a a year or two. You're just gonna be like, here
59:02
they are again. Here are the Rays with all these
59:04
young studs. They just produce.
59:07
Was I lagging like we're talking about the A's and then you just
59:11
jumped in? I was thinking the speed thing
59:13
again, I got stuck on. I was going to.
59:15
OK, that makes sense. I was like, we just, you were
59:18
you just hopped in. Like, by the way, the the rays
59:20
are coming. They're going to be a force.
59:22
I didn't even hear what prospect you were talking about after
59:24
that. Make Kurtz make.
59:26
Kurtz of the A's. Sure, sure.
59:31
Cool. Getting the call up.
59:33
Remains. Sure, but we're talking about
59:36
the A's here. My my my Sacramento Vegas A's.
59:42
Your wild card pick. Hence my Sacramento Vegas A's,
59:48
who are only two games under right now, so watch out.
59:52
Play good ball. Watch out for the watch out
59:56
Astros. So what's?
1:00:01
His name again. Dude Nick Kurtz with AZI.
1:00:09
Feel like that's one of those names you got to say pretty
1:00:11
slow, you know, just in case you don't want to say that name too
1:00:15
fast, you know? I'm not entirely sure where
1:00:19
you're going with that, but I'm going to leave it at that.
1:00:21
Should probably leave it at that.
1:00:22
Yeah, well, we'll just go ahead and leave it at that.
1:00:24
I'm not going to. I'm not going to try it.
1:00:25
Yeah, it's. Just not the.
1:00:28
It's not a name you want to say quickly.
1:00:29
Do it in the keep it slow. Keep it slow.
1:00:33
I gotcha, I gotcha. I gotcha.
1:00:35
I did it in my head. I I'm, I'm there.
1:00:38
I I, I see what you're doing. Just be careful, everybody.
1:00:40
OK, Well, we're looking out for you.
1:00:44
That's that's what we're doing. We don't want to get you don't
1:00:46
want to get you in trouble. That's all.
1:00:48
That's all. That's all this is.
1:00:50
What are we we coming back Wednesday or Thursday?
1:00:53
What do you want to do? You know the drill.
1:00:56
It's got to be Thursday. When we do Monday, when we have
1:00:58
to record on Monday, it's his. Shout out Easter, you know.
1:01:03
Shout out Jesus that ain't. That ain't on us, that's on
1:01:06
Jesus, you know? For good reason, we had to push
1:01:09
to Monday. Couldn't do.
1:01:10
We were going to take the day off Sunday to enjoy Easter.
1:01:13
Then Monday, which is today, which is when we're recording
1:01:16
now. Right now, right now, at this
1:01:20
moment, it pushes us to Thursday 'cause we either go Sunday,
1:01:24
Wednesday or Monday, Thursday. But like I said, you know the
1:01:28
drill. If we go Monday and something
1:01:31
happens crazy Tuesday or even back or even Wednesday during
1:01:36
the day or afternoon, some headline comes through like some
1:01:39
some player blasts his manager and deletes a tweet, something
1:01:44
like that. We'll have to talk about it.
1:01:48
So it's possible we'll go Wednesday, but I guess for now
1:01:51
we'll shoot for Thursday. Cool, sounds good and I think do
1:01:59
I declare a a a stream Sunday? Yes, great point.
1:02:07
No, you don't, because we're going to be out of town.
1:02:11
We're going to be out of town. Where do you you guys are all
1:02:13
where you going now? We're going to the beach.
1:02:15
Good night man, shout out OBX. Did we talk about streaming this
1:02:19
coming weekend? This.
1:02:20
Is news to me. This is the last weekend of the
1:02:24
month, ain't it? You're so right, Sunday.
1:02:29
Well, I think you're avoiding. Trying to keep book yeah, yeah.
1:02:34
So if you're if you're. Unfamiliar a new skill?
1:02:37
That's not the case. You have to surf when you're in
1:02:39
OBX now. That's the rule to make up for
1:02:42
it. Certainly not doing that.
1:02:46
It's Phillies at. Cubs.
1:02:48
I don't know. Well, no.
1:02:52
Hang tight. I don't know what time we'll be
1:02:54
getting back. It's possible we can squeeze it
1:02:58
in. I'll let.
1:02:58
Nah, I'm not going to make you. I'm not going to make you
1:03:00
stream. After a day of surfing, that's
1:03:02
tough. And driving back, how long is
1:03:05
that drive? And it's like 4 hours.
1:03:07
It's wild. But anyway for a.
1:03:12
Reminder on the car like every other weekend.
1:03:14
Yeah, it's tough. Reminder our plan this this
1:03:18
season, we're already a month into the season is to do a
1:03:24
stream, I guess like once a month, I think was our original
1:03:28
plan. So Nate's and it's going to it,
1:03:32
it'll be for a Sunday night game.
1:03:33
Whenever we do these, they'll be Sunday night games where Nate
1:03:37
will teach me and anybody else interested in joining along or
1:03:40
you don't even have to learn. You can just come hang out and
1:03:42
watch some Sunday night baseball with us where Nate is going to
1:03:46
teach me how to keep book. And again, if you're listening
1:03:51
or you're watching with us during those streams, you can
1:03:53
you can learn as well or you can chime in and maybe maybe pick up
1:03:58
the slack that that Nate, that's true.
1:04:01
I may miss something. I missed something so we'll see
1:04:04
you. Should probably order a book
1:04:05
though. That's a great point.
1:04:07
Yeah, I'll do that tomorrow. I'll tell you, I'll tell you
1:04:10
what book to get. Don't wait, wait to order 'cause
1:04:12
there's, there's some like cheap books where you don't have like
1:04:16
a ton going on. And then there's the nicer books
1:04:19
that have like more space and you can you can fill in stuff a
1:04:22
little bit easier. So hit me up before you pull
1:04:25
trigger, all right? I'll do that.
1:04:27
