Judge vs. Raleigh: One Month To Decide AL MVP · 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. Oh, welcome back to the Three O
0:16
Take presented by Chinook. Cedry, this is episode 563.
0:21
I'll be your host, Kyle Cord. I'm here with my Co host Nate
0:24
Reyes. Nate.
0:30
KC How are we? So we do this thing now.
0:37
We've started this thing probably the last few weeks for
0:41
right before we hop on. There's like an undetermined
0:45
amount of time before the countdown begins before the
0:49
intro video hits and whoever jumps in first with the random
0:53
topic. Categories.
0:57
Random category, you just got to you got to alternate and the
1:00
last person, it's sort of like hot potato.
1:02
Last person to say something wins.
1:05
So I jumped in with Jimmy John's.
1:08
You followed up immediately with Jersey Mike's, but you before
1:11
that, trying to beat me, had thrown out Food Lion.
1:16
I thought I'd get you with a grocery store on in your
1:20
territory. Exactly.
1:22
Well, you know. I beat you to it, but my mind
1:26
immediately shifted to grocery stores.
1:28
So you said you said Jersey Mike's and I was about to say
1:33
Giant Foods. Crazy.
1:37
Is food? Are food lines still around?
1:39
Oh yeah, still still kicking, huh?
1:42
Yeah, we have normal grocery. Stores out here, I don't know, I
1:45
hear all the time about people out West, up north.
1:48
Yeah, we got freaking Billy Bob's and baked beans.
1:52
I don't know, I'm pretty jealous.
1:54
I hear Publix is like the one. Oh yeah, Publix is strong.
1:58
I've been to it in where was I think Florida and I was like,
2:04
this is nice. I didn't get any food, but it
2:06
was like it was a nice grocery store.
2:07
But I hear you can just get like ridiculous sandwiches there.
2:11
It's very good. That's our go.
2:13
To when we go down to North Myrtle with Meredith's family,
2:16
every year that's hot is legit. We're just Trader Joe's people
2:21
out here. Trader Joe's is good.
2:24
Yeah, we got those out here as well.
2:26
Kind of a kind of a girl place. Yeah, it's kind of a, it's kind
2:31
of a chick grocery store. I don't like going there to
2:35
balance with you. It's stressful.
2:37
It's like 7 aisles. Did you know?
2:40
Did you know that the cashiers there are obligated to make a
2:44
comment or ask you a question about either your purchase or
2:47
your day? I feel like they went to like
2:50
the Chick-fil-A customer service school.
2:52
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Any who's you have to like
2:58
comment on something that you bought.
3:00
Yeah. Yeah.
3:03
Yeah, let's talk about enough about grocery stores.
3:05
Although I I mean, I could, I enjoy grocery stores actually.
3:09
But let's talk. Let's talk baseball.
3:11
That's something up noted for the offseason.
3:16
Add it to the list. Another thing I enjoy baseball.
3:20
I'm excited to talk about this Aaron Judge, Cal Raleigh debate.
3:25
It's been about, I think two months since we last really dove
3:29
into this topic. It's something I know in
3:32
particular that's very near and dear to your heart, something
3:35
you feel rather strongly about. And I'm here to tell you that I
3:39
feel like I have a, a renewed perspective on the matter after
3:44
doing a, a healthy amount of research, research.
3:51
I I'm curious to see if your thoughts have changed at all,
3:59
but I'm either way, I'm, I'm very much looking forward to
4:04
diving into this debate with you.
4:05
So let's just get into it. We're we're about a month out, I
4:10
believe the last regular season game.
4:13
Let me check here. I checked today the Mariners
4:16
last game. I don't know when the Yankees
4:18
last game is. I just immediately I thought to
4:21
check the Mariners last game assuming it'd be like right
4:24
around the same day if not the same day.
4:26
Last game is on September 28th. So we are quite literally a
4:31
month and like a day out. So 30 plus days to to decide
4:39
this. Some have already said it's
4:42
decided. Yanks have 29 games left.
4:48
Seattle has 28 games left. They would, they would.
4:55
Every team would close out the the 28th.
4:58
Now that I think about it, that's Sunday.
5:01
Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying like how they're
5:03
lined up right now. Oh no, no, sorry.
5:05
I was more so that was more of me talking to myself in response
5:10
to what I said. But let's let's get into it
5:15
because like I said, a renewed perspective.
5:17
I told you right before I hopped on, I feel like I learned a
5:21
little bit about Cal Raleigh's defense today because I feel
5:25
like Cal's Cal Raleigh's defense is what has been a driving force
5:31
for the pro Cal Raleigh crowd. Sure, and I'm here to break some
5:35
hearts. Oh.
5:37
But before we get into the the numbers and all that, let me
5:41
flip it to you. Has you have your thoughts on
5:45
the matter changed at all? Are you still strongly planted,
5:51
as strongly planted in your stance on Aaron Judge as you
5:54
were when we last checked in two months ago?
6:03
This there's been, there's been a little scuffle, there's been a
6:06
little just a hair, you know what I mean?
6:12
Average is down to 323. I think when we were talking, it
6:15
was like in the 340 range last we brought this up.
6:22
I mean, there's still a big difference.
6:24
Like, no disrespect, but you know, Cal Rally's 244, Like I
6:31
understand us falling in love with the home run totals.
6:35
I think it'd be one thing if there was like a 15 home run
6:41
differential kind of thing. It's just not that big of a
6:45
difference. 9 is, I'm not saying 9 is like anything to shrug at,
6:49
but like is 9 home run is a nine home run lead enough to just
6:59
look at the large enough gaps with the literally every other
7:02
category judges dominating in every other category.
7:10
And, and this is what I mentioned in like the last
7:12
argument is I I think us as a society just kind of get like
7:19
kind of numb to success, like numb to the greats in a way.
7:28
And it like we counted against them in a way.
7:31
It's strange, It's a strange argument.
7:33
I love look like I I I don't think there's anything wrong
7:36
with having this debate. I love that Cal Raleigh is like
7:38
found success this year. I love that we're seeing a
7:41
catcher with crazy pop like in the days that we grew up with
7:45
like I'm I'm glad it's back, but it judges dominating in every
7:53
other category. I just don't understand how it's
7:57
just home runs and then to get into what you're about to get
8:00
into. It's been the difference of
8:03
defense in the in the edge to Cal Raleigh in the defense
8:08
category. Here's a question I don't feel
8:12
like I've actually considered until just now.
8:15
Is there an Aaron Judge fatigue? I think there is, I I mean it
8:22
not. And not to mention there's
8:24
enough anti Yankee bias that goes into this too.
8:31
There's no anti Mariner bias. No, no, no, no more I.
8:35
It's a more isolated question, less about the debate between
8:39
these two and more just like, is there, is there an Aaron Judge
8:43
fatigue that plays into this? Because it's to me as great as
8:47
Aaron Judges, as great as the cover, like as as extensive as
8:52
the coverages surrounding Aaron Judge.
8:55
I I don't know that it rivals. I mean, it's probably presumably
9:02
next in line, but I just, I just don't know if it's at the level
9:06
of the fatigue that I feel like many baseball fans feel when it
9:10
comes to Shohei Otani. So it's like, I don't going back
9:15
to your point earlier about like the are, are people just, you
9:18
know, sort of becoming numb to it or they're becoming tired of
9:20
it. I I feel like what Judge is
9:24
doing is impressive and in US weird way almost lacks the the
9:31
amount of discussion that his his output warrants in a way.
9:37
You're saying we're not talking about it enough?
9:41
Yeah, like that, that which is why I asked, which is why I
9:44
asked about like the the fatigue.
9:45
Because I think that's why the fatigue is there is because
9:48
we're we're we're not sitting here recognizing the fact that
9:51
like he's now trans, like transcended the power hitter
9:57
conversation only like now we're talking about becoming a
10:01
complete hitter and doing it and just doing it and getting better
10:07
that 3334 years old. Like he's like developing into
10:14
something even better than what we initially appreciated about
10:17
him. Like it's, I don't know, I, I
10:24
don't know if, if it's, I think it is fatigue in a way.
10:28
I think it is a multitude of things.
10:30
I think it's anti Yankee bias, which is going to play a factor,
10:36
especially when you have a mariner, you have an underdog,
10:39
you have a, you know, East Coast, West Coast conversation.
10:43
Like there's, I think there's a lot of factors into why, at
10:48
least social media wise, it seems to me that a lot of people
10:53
are giving the edge to Cal Raleigh.
10:56
I would agree. But I don't understand how we're
11:00
just not recognizing the fact that Aaron Judge is like
11:05
creeping into greatest right-handed hitter of all time
11:08
conversation. Which is surreal to say, but I
11:14
mean, it's, it's, it's a conversation that needs to be
11:17
had. But you bring you, you bring up
11:19
a point about the, we'll just say the public perception, at
11:23
least on social media, because that's where we that's where we
11:26
spend a lot of our time. It's where we're getting a lot
11:28
of our feedback, a lot of our information.
11:32
I would agree with you. I think I think I've seen a lot
11:34
of a lot of pro rally discourse and I think a lot of it, as I
11:43
said, comes down to the fact that he's a catcher, the fact
11:46
that he he does what he does for that staff.
11:52
But I do take issue with the fact and I'll be honest with
11:58
you, I feel like I've maybe fell victim to it last time we talked
12:00
about this of well, he's he does it as a platinum glove level.
12:05
Like I said, I'm here to break some hearts.
12:08
I don't know who has has maybe sort of dug into some of the
12:14
numbers for Cal Reilly this year is not is not performing
12:19
defensively at the caliber that he was last year when he won the
12:22
the Platinum Glove, is not performing at that level.
12:27
In fact, in fact, it has regressed.
12:31
Well, I'm glad you asked. I had to take a lot of notes
12:34
because there's a lot of these metrics that I just don't still,
12:38
I don't fully understand, but I just needed to bring it to the
12:43
table to demonstrate that we can't just we can't just have
12:48
these sweeping generalizations of like, oh, Cal Raleigh's a
12:51
Platinum Glove. I saw a tweet today that was and
12:54
it said Cal Raleigh's 2024 Platinum Gold or Platinum Glove
13:01
is about as relevant to the 2025 ALMVP conversation as Anthony
13:07
Volpe's Gold Glove that he won. It's like not relevant and I
13:12
have to agree. Like we're we're trying to
13:14
determine who the MVP this season is.
13:17
And unfortunately the fact that Cal Raleigh has regressed
13:20
defensively, that has to play into it.
13:22
His Platinum glove from last year is irrelevant.
13:26
I hate to say it. However, on the flip side, I'm
13:33
seeing a lot of conversation about Cal Riley's defense being
13:37
below league average, which that's that's statistically not
13:41
true. And the same goes for Judge
13:43
honestly, which was another point I wanted to bring up.
13:46
The real look, the reality. He's excellent in right field.
13:50
I don't think people give him credit for the size.
13:53
I'm not saying he's above average, but I think for the
13:56
size and what we expect him to be and I think how much center
14:03
field kind of hurt that conversation, I will chalk it up
14:08
as excellent continue. I was just going to say the
14:13
reality of it is, is that neither in the year 2025 is an
14:21
elite defender. Are they both above average?
14:25
Yes. Are they below league average?
14:29
Like many people are trying to take stabs at the other side of
14:33
the the argument? No.
14:39
So with that said, I'm not going to say it's a wash because it,
14:42
it's, it's very realistically, it's hard to, it's, it's hard to
14:48
draw comparisons between the catching position and A and a
14:51
right fielder position, especially when it, when the,
14:55
the fact of the matter is that a lot of these advanced metrics
14:58
have to account for adjustments in the difficulty position and,
15:03
and the workload and all that that goes into that.
15:06
With that said, it leaves you with what they're doing
15:11
offensively and to your point, Judges very much taking it home
15:20
at the current moment offensively.
15:25
Yeah, every category except home runs is.
15:37
I mean, do you want to run through them real quick for
15:38
people that don't have you? You read off Cal Raleigh, I'll
15:42
read off Judge. You're going on anybody that
15:45
you're going on Baseball Reference.
15:46
Though I'm on ESPN, I'm on ESPN so it's updated all.
15:55
Right, Let's see what we got here.
16:02
Go ahead. Where you want to start?
16:07
Start simple. Well, start hits.
16:11
Yeah, go ahead. Cal Raleigh 120 And now mind
16:16
you, Cal Raleigh has played 131 games, which I believe is close
16:22
to what Judge has put up. Even 123.
16:25
Yeah, even having missed missed time, which in Cal's defense,
16:32
has played in every game this season.
16:34
Correct. Just a matter of.
16:36
Which is very impressive, Very impressive.
16:39
Just a matter of the catcher DHT which judge also there's a lot
16:43
of similarities between the two. Just despite like I said, you
16:46
can't, you can't necessarily draw comparisons between the
16:48
catcher position to right field. But in terms of splitting time a
16:51
little bit, they're, they're we'll, we'll say they're guilty
16:54
of both. Yeah, 123 games for judge runs.
17:03
87A. 104 hits. You mentioned 120.
17:08
What? I hate the run score tally, but
17:12
point taken. Which category?
17:15
Hits a. 120 a. 144 double S. 19. 27 triples, 02 home runs, 5041
17:29
RB is. 107. 95 walks. 77. I lost you say that again, 7791.
17:44
Which can we just, can we pause right there?
17:46
Walks. I I believe since Judge came off
17:51
the IL, which I believe I believe was June 5th, he's
17:55
hitting 217 with just four homers and 10 ribbies since
17:58
August 5th. Or I'm sorry, did I just say
18:00
August 5th? August 5th, Yeah.
18:03
You said June 5th first time, but yeah, yeah.
18:05
Yeah, sorry, August 5th you can I think we can account or we can
18:11
attribute his on base during that span to really tallying
18:16
some walks there because. For sure walks.
18:19
The OPS is still in like the mid eights, but the average, like I
18:22
said, he's only hitting 217, so yeah.
18:25
For sure walks playing a factor but no one's working around him.
18:31
He's not really getting intentionally walked the way he
18:33
was pre injury. Continue strikeouts. 156. 141
18:44
the whole oh, Aaron Judge strikes out a million times.
18:47
OK, stolen bases, it's given. Let's give an edge here.
18:54
A career high 14 for big. Impressive 8 for for judge.
19:01
All right, let's get into the fun ones.
19:02
The big ones, batting average. Some people still care about it.
19:06
240-4323 It's a big gap people on base percentage. 351. 439.
19:20
Stupid, man, that's stupid. Slugging. 587. 668 and the fun
19:31
one in case people don't want to do math, the OPS. 939. 11 O 7
19:42
for a Total War of 6.8. 5.9. I, I understand that I'm
19:57
impressed by Cal Raleigh. I think you can argue for a
20:01
judge to win an MVP and still be highly impressed with Cal
20:05
Raleigh and still acknowledge the fact that he's, he's doing
20:09
things we haven't seen in a long time.
20:12
I don't think those are exclusive.
20:18
The reality is, is that this is the MVP.
20:26
Aaron Judge is the MVP. Here.
20:29
Now, here's a question for you. If Aaron Judge didn't win the
20:33
MVP this year, is it a bigger robbery this year or in 2017?
20:38
2017 for sure, that was that haunts me and I didn't lose it
20:43
myself, but I'm haunted by that little pip squeak that is a
20:48
joke. But when you talk about like the
20:50
difference in leading those categories, it's probably pretty
20:54
close. It's probably pretty close, but
21:00
I don't understand. And going back to what you were
21:02
saying, defensively, it's the same crowd.
21:05
It's the same crowd that you can't cherry pick defensive
21:12
stats or awards. And I feel like it's the same
21:16
crowd that does that, that just slaps out while he's a Gold
21:20
Glover at it. And then at the same time we'll
21:23
go find a player and say Gold Gloves don't mean anything
21:26
anymore. It's the same people making
21:28
those arguments. Personally, I they just need to
21:31
get rid of the gold and platinum gloves.
21:33
I'm I'm over it. I'm over it.
21:36
It's borderline All Star appearances.
21:38
That's where we're getting into. It's it's, it's better.
21:42
It's practically there. And to your point about just
21:45
slapping things on there, it goes back to the point that just
21:48
really grinds my gears that I hear all the time.
21:51
It's it's just picking and choosing when we're going to
21:56
drop in certain accolades for certain narratives.
22:00
Like the example I always use is when you hear 2019 NLMVP, Cody
22:06
Bellinger, it's like it's 2025. No disrespect.
22:11
Not taking a single thing away from Cody Bellinger, who I
22:16
believe has better outfield metrics than Aaron Judge.
22:19
I did see like people are like, oh, Aaron Judge is an elite
22:21
defender and I saw people being like he's not even the best.
22:24
He's not even the best defender on his in his own outfield.
22:27
He's so fun to watch. Cody, like Cody Bellinger,
22:32
really good defensively at multiple positions too.
22:35
But yeah, yeah, but it's, it's just the the cherry picking has
22:39
been funny to see. But to your point about the the
22:41
defensive metrics, looking at what Judge has on his savant,
22:45
he's got 2 outs about of average, which which puts him in
22:49
the 77 percentile arm value, 91st percentile arm strength, 88
22:53
percentile with Cal Raleigh. He's in 8th percentile on blocks
22:59
above average. He's in the 81st when it comes
23:02
to caught stealing above average, 89th in framing.
23:06
His framing metrics are very good pop time, 39th percentile,
23:11
which whatever, But it's, it goes back to, to what I said is
23:16
the is honestly, like with everything, with, with politics,
23:21
with media, with pop culture, it's never as good as people say
23:25
it is. It's never really as bad as
23:27
people say it is. As it pertains to Cal Raleigh
23:31
and Aaron Judge's defense, they're both above average.
23:36
Aaron Judge is not necessarily playing a Gold Glove defense
23:39
this year and Cal Raleigh is not necessarily playing a Platinum
23:43
Glove a la 2024 Cal Raleigh defense this year.
23:47
That's just, and if we're going to stay on that and if we're
23:51
going to compare the two, I will give the edge to catchers 10
23:55
times out of 10. I think it's one of the hardest
23:59
positions in all of sports, so I will give the edge that way.
24:07
But again, I don't think home runs and catching is enough to
24:16
just wash away the rest of the other categories 100. 64 point
24:22
differential in OPS between the two 164.
24:30
Come on man. But to your point, catcher's got
24:37
to be the hardest position to do it.
24:39
I I don't have it, I don't have a dog in the fight.
24:41
Like whatever Aaron Judge is playing out of his mind.
24:44
Cal Raleigh's been an awesome sort of see, I just like, I just
24:47
like playing devil's advocate for, for both camps, truly,
24:50
because like I said, what Aaron Judge is doing is historic.
24:55
I won't even say borderline historic.
24:57
What he's doing is historic. But at the same time, Cal
25:00
Raleigh on any given night is setting some sort of benchmark
25:08
all time. Super impressive.
25:17
I don't know that I've decided to be honest with you.
25:19
I think that like if, if you were to say I, I think the best
25:25
way to look at it is imagine this is the first year you're
25:28
seeing Aaron Judge do this. I did see a lot of that as.
25:32
Well, like I take nor the rest of the past and ignore like his
25:37
other feats say this is his first year doing this.
25:44
I think that makes it more impressive and I don't know why.
25:53
And on the other hand, I'm impressed that he's somehow just
25:57
developed and gotten more complete.
26:03
It's like a it's like a three-point shooter and suddenly
26:05
figuring out how to how to score inside, how to get to the free
26:10
throw line, how to pick up his defense at the same like it's he
26:13
has developed his entire game. And again, like I know batting
26:20
average doesn't mean what it used to, but we're talking what
26:24
a 9080 point difference. You have to think comment like
26:31
in the in the offseason as Judge is preparing for this, the 2025
26:35
season, He's got to be thinking like the biggest knocks against
26:40
me are my ability to hit for average in my strikeout rates
26:47
that are through the roof. And I feel like he's adjust.
26:50
He's made adjustment. He's made strides in both.
26:52
Yeah, yeah. The strikeout percentage has
26:55
significantly gone down. And yet he's still having to,
26:59
you know, go out there every day for the last for what's going to
27:05
end up being the last month of the season feeling like he has
27:08
to continue to prove his case for MVP when he's probably
27:12
looking at a stat line going or maybe he's not.
27:15
Maybe he's not that type of guy. But if he is, he's probably
27:17
going what more do I have to do? And that, you know, that's going
27:22
to suck for him. But when you've got a catcher
27:25
that's putting 50 out, potentially on pace for 60, I
27:30
think I saw that he's where was it on pace for?
27:41
It's got a 32% chance at reaching 60 homers, 25% for
27:46
6117% for 62 and just 7% to break Judge's record.
27:59
So when you have a storyline like that, it does muddy the
28:04
waters a little bit, I will say for Judge.
28:07
Yeah, I don't disagree. And again, I don't I wouldn't be
28:12
overly disappointed if he did lose it to Cal Raleigh, but I do
28:21
think it was robbery if that is the case.
28:30
It's hard to say, man, hard to say.
28:32
It's going to be fun. I don't know how caught up
28:36
riders get in recency Pious and it's awesome to see.
28:43
I don't need to tear down Cal Raleigh at all to build up my
28:47
case, and I hope that that's the approach that most people start
28:50
taking. No need to tear the other guy
28:55
down. Both are studs man.
28:57
It's fun to watch. Good for ball, good for the for
29:00
good. Good for the game, Good for us,
29:02
you know? Good for the.
29:03
Goose good for the gander. That's a great, that's a great
29:07
segue into what is our next topic.
29:10
Good for the game, good for us, good for us.
29:14
Being that they released the 2026 schedule yesterday, I think
29:20
mere minutes before the Taylor Swift, Travis Kelsey news drop.
29:26
Strategic. Yeah, that was that was quite a
29:32
whirlwind on social media, I will say.
29:34
But let's talk about some of the highlights for the 2026 season.
29:39
How many times did I just say 20 there?
29:41
Did I say 2026? Few.
29:44
Sounded like I said 20/20/26. Felt that way.
29:48
Maybe not, who knows. 2026 schedule, release, opening
29:54
night. I'm excited.
29:55
Can I just say I'm excited for this, even though it's your
29:58
stupid Yankees, I'm excited to have a singular game to kick the
30:05
year off on US soil. Hey, I might add, that's
30:10
important. Yeah, I might add, look, no
30:12
disrespect to Tokyo, no disrespect to wherever else we
30:21
could kick, potentially kick the season off.
30:24
Australia, Iceland, Germany, Turkey, Russia.
30:43
Czechoslovakia. Slovakia.
30:47
What? Czech la.
30:48
Czech, La. Czechoslovakia.
30:53
Yeah, Nope. Got me Italy, Romania, Romania,
30:59
South Africa that's a hotbed for baseball.
31:06
Cote d'Ivoire. Never heard of that.
31:09
Ivory. Ivory.
31:10
Was it an appetizer? Also Africa.
31:14
How about that pole? Yeah, if if they decided to play
31:17
opening opening day there. You know what?
31:19
No disrespect, but I'm just glad that we're we're kicking off the
31:23
year well. You know what everything else
31:29
is? No disrespect but disrespect.
31:32
I'm glad it's not in Canada. Honestly, yeah, I could.
31:37
I would actually. I would choose to watch
31:40
something else if they open the season in Canada.
31:42
That's correct. I was fine with Canada when we,
31:46
when we went up there, not just a month or two ago.
31:49
Yeah. And back in July, that's what it
31:51
was. It was July because it was
31:54
Canada Day. I was fine with Canada.
31:56
But then the second was second. We realized, oh shoot, we're up
31:59
here for Canada Day and we're sitting there listening to the
32:02
radio, like the talk shows bashing and they are just
32:06
slamming the good old Stars and Bars.
32:10
I was like, Get Me Out of here, I'm going home.
32:12
Same for me. I'm going home.
32:14
So yeah, forever. Forever ruined my relationship
32:19
with Canada. Sorry about it.
32:22
Honestly. In the chat.
32:23
Greenland, Why don't we? Yeah, I'm.
32:25
I'm with you. Wait.
32:27
That one has that one's cold. That's the switcheroo.
32:31
Iceland is the I believe, slightly warmer.
32:35
In comparison, yeah, that's the old switch up.
32:38
Love that. For to keep the pirates on their
32:42
toes, I believe. No, but opening the season in in
32:48
San Francisco Wednesday March 25th, which is the earliest
32:52
domestic opener ever. That part I don't like.
32:57
That part I'm not, I'm not in for but back a week.
33:00
I'm not going to die on that hill.
33:01
I'd rather I'm I'm cool with them reintroduce reintroducing
33:06
the opening night, something they haven't done since I
33:08
believe 2015. I'm a fan.
33:12
A prime time opening night. Big fan of that.
33:15
I wasn't that I wasn't that tapped in 2015, were you I?
33:19
Was not. Yeah, not like this.
33:23
Not like this, but that'll be that'll be getting things kicked
33:26
off. Will Arson Judge and Oracle?
33:33
Wow, here's here's another thought.
33:36
Cole. Cole will be back then he'll be
33:38
ready to. He'll be ready to go by winning
33:40
the day, right? Yeah.
33:42
Don't forget who plays in San Francisco.
33:44
Now that's going to be a nightmare for Cole to start the
33:47
2026. No, we won't see.
33:49
It's just Sharpie it. We'll see.
33:53
I'll go ahead and make my my 2026 hot takes and predictions.
33:57
That that stadium does. I'll make it.
34:00
It's a whole. I don't care.
34:02
I'll make it take right now. Put them on Mars.
34:04
I don't care. Rafael Devers owns your ace.
34:09
And that's just a matter of fact, my friend.
34:11
You're still defending a giant. A San Francisco giant.
34:20
Why would I not? What's I don't have beef with
34:22
the Giants. You.
34:24
Don't have beef with that guy. Not as it relates to.
34:29
I feel like that duo. He doesn't have the this.
34:32
The aura, the aura is is has taken a hit, yeah.
34:37
What a gross number. It's not the number as much as
34:40
it, just it. Plays a factor.
34:42
The IT does certainly does, but it's more just like the, the,
34:46
the atmosphere, just not, it's not the same.
34:50
I didn't know San Francisco was a a Dominican hotbed, you know
34:54
now Fenway Park, yeah, they roll out, they roll out Dominicans
35:01
there year in and year out and they just ball out.
35:05
But never didn't want any part of it.
35:06
So whatever. They're going to have rivalry,
35:10
rivalry weekend again from May 15th to 17th, which it always,
35:16
it always makes me laugh at some of the matchups.
35:18
I mean, I get I, I get it, you run it.
35:20
You have to just make certain things work.
35:22
You have to stretch certain things out to make it work.
35:24
But I believe I read it'll be the same matchups that we had
35:30
this year. For Rivalry Weekend.
35:32
The A's will be spending back-to-back series in Las
35:37
Vegas. I saw that.
35:39
How do you feel about that? Little tester, you know what I
35:43
mean let's see what let's see what this the city has to offer
35:47
a little bit I. Guess man, it just seems.
35:52
We're all done with the a slander Or is this a Vegas
35:55
slander? Or is this an MLB slander?
36:03
Well, I'm not going to slander my Sacramento A's.
36:05
So that leaves Vegas and then and Major League Baseball,
36:10
probably Major League Baseball. Like what's with like the
36:15
testing? To me, this is the equivalent of
36:17
having a having a spring training game at a Major League
36:20
ballpark two days before opening day.
36:25
It's just weird. It's like, why just roll out
36:29
When you're ready to play big boy baseball, play big boy
36:32
baseball. Don't, don't hit me with these
36:34
teasers, you know? I I think they should just go on
36:40
tour, Just put the A's on tour. Is that not?
36:45
Let them let them just try out everything.
36:48
Let them try out all these cities that you're considering
36:50
as an expansion. I'm sure we're going to go find
36:53
a park in Portland to be like, hey Ace, you're going to be our
36:56
Guinea pig for the next couple years till your stadiums ready.
36:59
We're going to see what these cities are all about.
37:02
I should be commissioner. It's.
37:04
Crazy. Give them a little residence out
37:06
in Portland, maybe Nashville. And they don't like, give it,
37:11
give it like a good chunk of time like this, like give it a
37:14
week or two, you know, give them, give them enough time to
37:18
like settle in a little bit. And then just like, say, hey,
37:21
let's see what this is about. It's honestly a great idea.
37:23
And if Major League Baseball were to hear that and like,
37:25
well, that's kind of gimmicky. This is the same league that is
37:30
having them play back-to-back series in a ballpark that's not
37:33
theirs at the moment. So you tell me what's gimmicky
37:38
anyway? Not important maybe.
37:40
Just worry about having enough buns for your hot dogs, you
37:43
know, Shots fired. That's a shot.
37:49
The All Star Game, as as we very well know, will be in Philly to
37:54
mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
37:59
That's so gangster. That's a baller move.
38:02
Oh, the merch is going to be. On.
38:05
Filthy. Real.
38:08
I don't. Know what I'm going to do on 4th
38:12
of July next year? But it's going to be grand.
38:16
It's going to be something nice. I'm not a fireworks guy
38:18
necessary. I mean, I love fireworks, but
38:20
personally, like I'm not going out and and setting things off,
38:23
but I may just blow something up just to blow it up.
38:27
Pause, pause. If FBI is listening, it's it's
38:31
he. Was talking about his toilet.
38:32
It's good. No, yeah, yeah, after all the
38:34
brats and dogs I'd consume. Hit me with some Mac salad.
38:40
Boy, oh boy. Crazy.
38:44
So yeah, that'll be July 14th. September 11th, there will be
38:52
the three-game series between the Mets and Yankees to
38:54
commemorate the 25th anniversary.
38:57
This one will be in the Bronx, I believe.
38:59
The 20th. Yeah, right.
39:02
The 20th anniversary was wait a minute.
39:07
No. Was that the 20th in it when
39:11
they did that in the in Queens? Yeah.
39:16
You're telling me that was in? 2021 that.
39:20
Was in 2020 that was it's already been three almost four
39:25
years ago I. Hate that.
39:29
I hate that. Holy cow, any who's that'll be
39:33
that'll be September 11th through the through the 13th.
39:36
As I mentioned in the Bronx, Honestly, no disrespect towards
39:42
towards Queens, towards Citi Field.
39:45
I'm not saying 1 area was, you know, any less devastated than
39:49
the other, but there's something I don't know what it is.
39:54
Maybe it's just because I, I feel like most people think of
39:57
the Yankees as like New York's team.
39:59
I will be, I will be here. I just feel like that series in
40:04
the Bronx is just going to have. An extra special feel to it like
40:11
I I really I don't know I don't know why that is, but I just I'm
40:15
I'm very much looking forward to seeing how they how they
40:18
commemorate that that series we. Need George Dub get out there
40:22
and throw the first pitch again. Man in the World Series, that
40:25
was that. 'D be something.
40:27
Yeah, that was legit. That'd be something.
40:30
And then as we mentioned, opening night is the earliest
40:33
has ever been and we're looking at a finale to the regular
40:37
season, the earliest we've seen since COVID, actually this skit
40:41
last day of the regular season scheduled for September 27th.
40:46
So which means things should finish up pre November.
40:53
Oh, yeah, I think that's safe to say.
40:54
Yeah, I like that. We'll have, I think we're going
40:58
to have the, the Wild Card series over what, by the
41:03
literally the end of the end of September.
41:05
No 'cause don't they, I think they usually take a day off,
41:09
which means it'll be the 28th. So then you got, I guess it'll
41:13
finish October 1st, 29th, 30th. Yeah, but I like 'cause like
41:17
right now I think the World Series, I think like Game 5 is
41:24
Halloween the 31st, isn't it? I think that's Game 5 or Game.
41:28
6. I don't like, I don't want that.
41:34
I don't. I want it done in October.
41:42
Whatever. We're getting there.
41:44
I think little adjustments are being made starting this.
41:47
Starting the season off in the States, no shenanigans out
41:54
there. In Ireland, no shenanigans.
41:56
Now I could get on board with Ireland, that'd be you could
42:00
have some fun with that. It would have to be the socks.
42:08
Oh yeah, for sure. Who?
42:09
Who else would you put out there isn't?
42:13
Probably throw the Cubs out there.
42:14
I feel like I don't know where's.
42:16
Another Where's another Irish hotbed?
42:20
I've said hotbed on this episode 3 times.
42:22
It's kind of weird. Yeah yeah.
42:25
Chicago. Not one I.
42:27
Feel like Chicago is a little something there, yeah.
42:33
I think Chicago is also a Polish hotbed.
42:35
That's 4 we don't need to get in geography.
42:42
But anyway, that's not a strong suit.
42:44
It's not That's the that's the 2026 schedule release
42:48
highlights. Moving right along here.
42:50
Wilson Contreras suspended for six games.
42:53
He did. He did appeal the suspension.
42:57
So he was he was in action right away.
43:02
What are we appealing? I mean, six games is a lot,
43:09
yeah. The most damning part of all of
43:11
this, though, is the the. Coach.
43:14
Yeah, the coach took the brunt of it.
43:16
Which I get it, Like you're in the heat of the moment.
43:19
You're, you're just, you're, you're pissed, you're flipping
43:22
the bat. You don't really have much
43:23
regard for where it goes. But the fact that there's just a
43:26
scrum right there with the UMPS and the and the coaches and some
43:29
guys holding you back, you got to think that's going to hit
43:32
somebody. Yeah.
43:34
He knew what he was doing. Well, I don't think he entirely
43:39
knew what he was doing because I don't.
43:40
I think if he had the choice, he would have probably not hit one
43:43
of his his coaches, But that's just me.
43:50
Yeah, sorry, beginning. It's got me got me big
43:58
distracted when I. Edit When I go back and edit
44:00
these videos and I'm like, I'm never rubbing at you.
44:02
I'm scrubbing the timeline. It's just, and I'm like watching
44:06
it, I'm watching it in full speed.
44:07
This is this is what I see. And then I'll it'll it'll hold
44:12
for a couple seconds. I'll come back every every time.
44:17
While I was watching I'm getting my first eyes on on Bubba
44:20
Chandler. Bulk reliever Bubba Chandler.
44:25
Doesn't look as easy as it does for Paul Skeens.
44:29
It does well, I mean it looks good.
44:35
Paul Skeens is in is in a league of a zone as it as it relates to
44:40
making it look easy. Just drilled Mason win.
44:44
All right, moving on. All right, now it's going to
44:45
live live commentate this better than the guy that does.
44:49
It that guy sucks. The big inning guy is the worst.
44:54
What are we doing? We do we.
44:57
Need. Oh, you're watching?
44:57
Beginning. I thought you're taking shots at
44:59
the Pirates booth. I'm like, that seems
45:01
unnecessary. But you're talking about the big
45:03
inning guy, the. Big inning guy's terrible.
45:05
Yeah, I feel for that guy, man. It sounds like he just, they
45:08
work him 12 hours and then they're like, oh, by the way,
45:11
you also have to do Big Inning tonight.
45:13
Yeah, maybe I don't get it. I, I think he, I just think he
45:17
sucks. My standard is Scott Hanson with
45:19
red zone though, and that's a hard, that's a hard standard to
45:22
match. That seems unfair.
45:24
Yeah, thought I was going to say, did you?
45:26
We should probably at some point talk about that whole ESPN
45:29
purchase thing. Did you see all that?
45:32
They bought MLBTV. Haven't they?
45:34
No, they didn't buy MLBTV. They bought what?
45:41
What are you talking about? I thought they bought or they I
45:44
thought they renegotiated a deal to.
45:47
Keep No No. Sunday night baseball and all
45:48
that. No, no, no, ESPN is talking
45:51
about ESPN is purchasing MLBTV. They purchased Red Zone.
45:56
They are about to come in hot. Oh shoot, MLBTV is is about to
46:05
change bro. They're trying to get rid of
46:09
like blackouts and stuff with this too.
46:11
It's kind of a big move. And ESPN the app is about to
46:16
probably jump like 40 or 50 bucks a month.
46:20
ESPN and MLB are reportedly close to an agreement that would
46:24
allow the network to carry MLBTV and the rights to all out of
46:28
market baseball games and select in market games.
46:32
The reported deal, which has not been signed yet, would give ESPN
46:35
the ability to offer MLBTV to fans as part of the network's
46:39
newly launched direct to consumer streaming service.
46:46
How often is Nate DO Double G introducing news to you?
46:53
Not often this one. That's good then this one is
46:56
good. To chalk it up.
46:57
Well, no, but that's what I'm saying.
46:58
But no, no, no, no. I, I'm, I guess I just skimmed
47:03
it and thought that it was, they had, they had decided to
47:08
maintain the rights to Sunday night baseball and all that.
47:11
Stuff that was like a week before this.
47:13
Oh, so this was even wasn't even lumped in.
47:15
This was a separate thing. This came out like AI think like
47:18
a week, week and a half ago. Wow.
47:20
Yeah, this. Is news to me.
47:22
It's interesting because they're they did some other stuff.
47:29
I can't. It was like a package where
47:31
they're like, they're just coming in and like swooping
47:35
stuff up. Oh, Apple TV, Friday's gone
47:40
good. That's dead.
47:42
That I think this was in like the bundle of news that we got.
47:48
I did see the Apple TV, Yeah, yeah.
47:50
But we didn't mention it. But yeah, I'm glad.
47:52
Yeah, lot, lot to lot to get into.
47:54
Hey, look, you know, we're all busy.
47:57
That's why we're partners. So you know what I mean?
47:58
That's why I'm here. I appreciate the help.
48:06
Speaking of partners, Texas Ranger Nathan Euvaldi Done.
48:13
For the year. Sorry, partner.
48:17
Sorry, partner. That's.
48:18
Terrible. No, I hate no nothing but love
48:22
for for my guy Big Nate and I'm talking to Euvaldi out.
48:28
Well, we'll just say likely done for the rest of the regular
48:32
season rotator cuff strain. It's possible that he could
48:38
resurface mid to tail end of the postseason, but that's there are
48:46
a lot of things that have to happen for that to even be an
48:49
option for the Rangers. So sucky news for for Evaldi,
48:55
which who I didn't I didn't even realize wasn't even eligible to
49:02
be the ERA leader. He was eligible for the ERA
49:07
leader for I think a night. Pre injury.
49:13
After allowing one run in seven innings against the Guardians in
49:16
his last start last Friday, he was the official ERA leader for
49:20
one night. Put him in 130 because you have
49:24
to average an inning or you have to have an inning logged for
49:31
every team game played. So at that point, he had 130
49:35
innings under his belt and the Rangers had played 130 games.
49:38
And then obviously the next day becomes ineligible for that.
49:41
I did not know that was the qualifier.
49:43
Thank you for that. Is qualifier hey?
49:45
Thank you for informing me. Bringing some news to you as
49:49
well. Learn something new everyday.
49:51
But 11:00 and 3:00 on the year. Career best 173 across 22
49:58
starts. Hate that haven't an insane
50:01
year. Hate that.
50:03
I hate, I hate these injuries. I'm so tired of pitching
50:08
injuries. I'm over it.
50:15
That's tough. I'm all done.
50:17
That's a tough blow for that rotation, too.
50:19
That rotations been disgusting this year for the most part.
50:23
I think. Leading baseball, actually.
50:29
Where, where are they currently sitting?
50:34
Loud card five games back. Yeah, they ain't going to cut
50:42
it. Sorry, he's done.
50:46
He ain't pitching again. Ranger, Yeah, leading baseball
50:55
with a 343 ERA as a staff. Doing all they need to do.
51:01
Never thought offense would be the issue with with that line up
51:04
coming in the season. Never thought.
51:10
Speaking of offense. Whoa.
51:14
Vinny Pasquantino hitting 3:15 with eight jacks, 21 ribbies and
51:22
a 1178 OPS over the last 15 days.
51:25
Your reigning AL Player of the Week, in which he hit six
51:29
homers, hit 37912 ribbies and then OPS of 15 O 6.
51:34
Des. Hustle Sports.
51:37
Vinny Pasquantino. That's right, shout him out.
51:46
I'll be honest with you. Before I initially just had
51:49
Vinny because I was like, I'm looking at some of these other
51:52
names around the league and I just don't know if I'm getting
51:54
the the the the credit cannon vibes for this week.
51:57
So maybe it's just a a lone representative in Vinny
52:01
Pasquantino. But I did a little more digging.
52:03
I thought, you know what? Let's let's tip our cap to
52:06
Hurston Waldrup. Dope name.
52:12
Is it dope? Name is it?
52:16
Is that the adjective we're going with there?
52:18
Dope. Absolutely.
52:20
Hurston, Waldrip. Absolutely.
52:24
Imagine. Imagine getting a check with
52:30
your name on it. Your name is Hurston Waldrip.
52:32
Hurston I like, but pairing it with Waldrip just that's a.
52:38
Kid for sure got bullied in school, that's a lot.
52:42
Herson, you yeah, Speaking of checks, that's got to be a sick
52:46
signature. I think so, yeah.
52:48
He's built to autograph baseballs.
52:50
That's what that names for. He looks clean.
52:54
All that bullying that he received in elementary school
52:57
during during attendance call out.
53:00
Look at him now. Herson, Waldrip.
53:04
Through 5 appearances, 4 starts this season, he is rocking a .90
53:13
ERA, .93 WHIP and a 24 to 7 K to walk ratio through 30 innings
53:22
with A4 no record. Pretty good.
53:31
Good stuff. Good cannon Cannon cannon cannon
53:38
cannon. Do you know he actually doesn't
53:40
say Canon? What does he say?
53:42
Have you seen the? Have you seen the TikTok on
53:44
this? No, what does he?
53:46
Say you remember the quarterback.
53:48
Dead serious. You remember the quarterback
53:50
from back in the day for the Raiders, I believe Rich Gannon.
53:54
That's what he says. That's the guy.
53:57
If you go back and listen to it from Madden, that's the guy.
54:01
You need to look this up. Gannon, it's like that.
54:05
And people think he says Canon or yeah, I think that's what
54:10
people assume he says yeah. Really.
54:13
Dead serious. I saw I saw a TikTok that's like
54:15
that's crazy. The more the more you know, I.
54:17
Don't know if I buy it. Not everything you see on the
54:22
Internet is true. Abraham Lincoln.
54:26
He did say that. He did say that, yeah.
54:30
Quoted. Hey, Speaking of a Canon, Gannon
54:35
Gannon, Oroldis Chapman, the Cuban missile.
54:42
Nate, I don't think you realize. I know you're a big fan now.
54:47
I don't think you realize I'm, I'm not going to acknowledge
54:51
that statement. I don't think you realize how
54:54
bait, how good. I'm not.
54:57
I'm not. I'm not biting.
54:59
I don't think you realize how good Aroldis Chapman has been
55:01
this year, especially the last. We'll call it 13.
55:08
Well, coming in today, he has. So I just got to save.
55:10
I don't know. I don't know what he did in his
55:12
outing. Can't believe they snuck that
55:14
game out by the way, back-to-back.
55:17
Jacks in the top of the ninth to take a 3-2 lead.
55:19
And then he came in and shut it down.
55:25
I couldn't see it because I'm blacked out and I had to use my
55:28
phone for purposes other than mass and I had to have my notes
55:33
up. But that's baseball for you.
55:38
Any who's coming into today. His last 13 appearances, 10 and
55:42
2 thirds, 8 saves, zero hits, 0 earned runs, four walks, 11
55:52
strikeouts and a 35.9% swing and miss on the year.
55:59
Coming into today, 56 appearances, 4 and 2 record an
56:05
ERA of one O, 671 strikeouts and a .69 WHIP.
56:12
Is he a Hall of Famer for you? Hold on coming into today.
56:18
Well, actually hold on. Let's let's confirm here.
56:23
I don't think he had a hit. I don't think he gave up a hit
56:25
today. No hits, no one runs.
56:33
OK, so there you go. Just adjust everything I just
56:36
said to incorporate another save where he did not give up another
56:40
hit or a run has given up two runs.
56:46
I want you to wrap your mind around this.
56:47
Aroldis Chapman has given up two runs since May 28th.
56:54
Two big chappy guy. Is he a Hall of Famer?
57:05
Let's look at the numbers. Admittedly, I'm not keeping tabs
57:08
on his career numbers. Is he a Hall of Famer to you?
57:20
I think he, I think he is. 360 saves.
57:26
Well, this is Baseball Reference, so this is probably
57:28
like a week old, so he's probably got more.
57:30
Figured out over there. Good night.
57:32
Don't. Understand how baseball
57:34
reference. Same people that run Craigslist
57:36
to run. Truly.
57:38
Baseball. Reference bro it's insane.
57:41
Feel free to update to a new font by the way, like it's been
57:46
running it back. The whole time, don't be scared
57:48
to make some changes. Yeah, the World Wide Web.
57:51
This is the first and only edition of Baseball Reference.
57:56
Crazy 360 saves over 1300 strikeouts, a WHIP of one O 7,
58:03
nine career WAR of 23.8. I'd be curious to see how those
58:09
numbers stack up to other Hall of Famer leaders.
58:14
Genuinely have no idea how where the where the stage.
58:17
It's because it's like, I think there's a like a percentage of
58:21
the vote that speaks to not just long depth longevity, but
58:26
dominance over a long period of time.
58:30
And it's clearly he's still dominating.
58:33
I mean, is this safe to say this is the best year of his career?
58:36
No, I mean, this is my first taste of it in in Boston,
58:41
obviously, but I mean, you, you watched him in New York for
58:44
those years. So.
58:47
I don't. I mean, I would argue the the
58:51
year, the two year span where he went to the Cubs and then Yanks
58:57
brought him back after the World Series, feel like those were a
59:01
couple pretty good years. But what's nuts is that that was
59:08
like, what, nine years ago, 2016?
59:15
It's crazy, yeah. He's he currently ranks 13th on
59:21
the all time saves leaderboard and he currently with his 360
59:27
saves, currently owns more saves and Raleigh Fingers Hall of
59:31
Famer Goose Gossage, Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter, Hall of
59:37
Famer Hoyt Wilhelm, Hall of Famer Hoyt Hoyt.
59:47
And those aren't even the names that are immediately after him.
59:49
I'm just, I'm just scanning for hall of farmers that are beneath
59:53
him. Who's Who are the Hall of
59:55
Farmers over 400 saves not in? Over 400, not in.
1:00:03
OK, so Joe Nath or no, excuse me, Dennis Eckersley is actually
1:00:07
the last last saves leader That starts with a three.
1:00:11
He had 390 saves. Billy Wagner is 8th at 4:22.
1:00:18
Obviously in. John Franco has 424 saves.
1:00:22
He's 7th not in K Rod has 437. Sorry, did I say John Franco at
1:00:30
4:24 for John Franco? K Rod 437 not in.
1:00:35
Craig Kimbrel, active 440. Kenley Jansen, active 470.
1:00:41
Lee Smith, Hall of Famer 478. Trevor Hoffman, six O 1.
1:00:46
Mariano Rivera, 652. I'd, I'd probably say Kenley's
1:00:50
in. I don't know if Kimbrel's in, I
1:00:53
don't know what it is, just can't get there.
1:00:58
But I think at this rate, Chap Chapman's definitely going to
1:01:01
cross over 400. Goodyear, Man.
1:01:08
He's 30. He's 30.
1:01:09
Seven love to just see the Don't You dominance once you head over
1:01:13
across town. Don't you just love to see?
1:01:16
It change jerseys loser. Speaking of jerseys, last item
1:01:24
for me or merch reminder, check out the shop.
1:01:27
In case you. Case you've missed the last
1:01:29
episode or two I'd heard today. I heard today from somebody in
1:01:33
our fantasy chat that because I had Bubba Chandler as the
1:01:37
headline for a recent episode, he's like, I didn't even bother
1:01:40
checking it out. So.
1:01:41
Yeah, rude. Sick love that.
1:01:43
So if you are one of those people that you're like, whoa, I
1:01:46
don't want to the. Pirates.
1:01:48
I don't listen to pirates. I don't listen to pirates talk.
1:01:51
Which by the way, I I don't know if people think.
1:01:54
Ran into it again this episode. I don't know if people think
1:01:59
that just because the headline is about XY or Z that that
1:02:03
that's the only thing we're going to talk about.
1:02:04
That's not how that works. We talk about lots of things.
1:02:07
Shame on this particular individual for not knowing.
1:02:11
Obviously we're getting to other topics.
1:02:14
You know who you are. How long do you think I want to
1:02:16
talk about Bubba Chandler? Like, of course we're going to
1:02:18
talk about other things. Bloke reliever Bubba Chandler,
1:02:22
that is. Yeah.
1:02:23
So in case you are one of those people that missed the
1:02:27
announcement the last episode or two, new merch has dropped.
1:02:31
3otake.com/shop That's THREEOHTA. ke.com/shop.

1:02:44

1:02:49
sweatshirts on there. So check those out.
1:02:53
But yeah, like I said, in case you missed the news, check those
1:02:56
things out. You got anything else for the
1:02:57
folks where we get out of here? I thought I had something juicy
1:03:05
but I can't quite recall. Go buy some seeds.
1:03:13
Oh yeah, I totally meant to drop in a couple.
1:03:16
A couple notes. There you go.
1:03:19
Little ASMR there. Yeah, check out Chinook.
1:03:29
If you get the seeds directly from their website you can use

same code on Seekeek you. Can get some you.
1:03:43
Can get some tickets for the last month of games you can get
1:03:47
tickets for the postseason too. But if you're one of those
1:03:49
people that are just like yeah, yeah, yeah I'm kind of kind of
1:03:54
counting on my team not being there in October totally
1:03:57
understand but we still got a month left of ball so you can
1:04:00
still use our promo code take 20 bucks off use that for a hot dog
1:04:10
or a bag of peanuts. The peanuts are the prices for
1:04:15
peanuts are insane. What are they at now?
1:04:19
I went to the Nats game the other day. 13 bucks for a bag of
1:04:22
peanuts. Double digits is crazy.
1:04:25
I'm sorry, no disrespect on peanuts, but double digits is
1:04:28
just absurd. Those are all maxed out at 8:00.
1:04:31
Bucks even 8. I mean, yeah, I think it's
1:04:35
egregious. 8 is egregious and admittedly I'd probably pay $8,
1:04:39
but that's, that's crazy. I I think ideally I'm paying
1:04:45
like Max 5 bucks for a bag of peanuts, yeah.
1:04:49
Especially with the, you know, weird people with the coolers
1:04:53
outside of the stadium. What's cheaper?
1:04:56
True. Yeah, you can bring those right
1:04:57
in. Yeah, I don't care.
1:05:00
Crazy. I'm all done.
1:05:02
I'm going to go make some chicken tenders and Mac and
1:05:05
cheese. That's.
1:05:08
A hop. I'm a hop on a flight.
1:05:10
I'll be out. Cool, save some.
1:05:12
I'll keep the airfryer hot. For a few hours, yeah.
1:05:16
Let me just turn it back on, all right?
1:05:20
Don't go chase care balls. We love you all and as always,
1:05:24
looking forward to talking more baseball with you guys soon.
1:05:26
Until next time, stay filthy.
