Does Cam Schlittler have an AL MVP case? Contreras vs. minor league umpire, Blue Jays = sleeping giant? · Foul Territory

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: All right, crowd team. No Scott. You know why Scott's
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: not here today? It's just you and I. But you
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: know why Scott's not here today? Because Scott didn't want
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to listen to the opening of what we're going to
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: talk about today. Scott has earplugs in. Scott has earmuffs on.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Scott does not want to understand that it was football weekend.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I know we're deep in baseball, but the Eagles won.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: The Bears absolutely annihilated the Panthers. So many points. I mean,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I know we're deep in baseball right now, but there
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: is time. To look at other sports, because I have
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a room with multiple TVs, and I had football on
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: one TV. I also had the eight games going, so
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I could keep track of the pennant races, who's winning,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: who's losing. It's okay to like other sports, Scott.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: It kind of allows us to touch grass, because football starts.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: That means it's about to be October.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: True, true. It means we're down to under about 13
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: games for most teams, 12 to 13 games for most teams.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: That's left in this regular season. So we're getting down to,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: as we used to say, nitty gritty or bleep cut
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: in time, whatever you want to call it. It's time
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: now to, you got to win, try to win every
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: single game. And listen, football's back. Great. But don't forget
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: about baseball people because baseball is in the highest point
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of its time. And you know who finally remembered that
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: baseball had started in Toronto? Vlad Jr. He finally hit
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: a home run. Throw the confetti, everybody. He hit a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: home run in Toronto. It had only been over a year.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: in the regular season since he did it. And football
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: started before Vladdy Guerrero this year had hit a home run.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: They went a whole year of football. They crowned a
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion. They did all this stuff. Teams played
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: in Australia. And then Vlad's like, oh, yeah, I should
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: hit a home run because the Canadian Football League is
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: about to start. So whammy, Vlad Guerrero home run. Congratulations, Vlad.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I thought off the bat he crushed it just so
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: it made it over.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Made it over the wall.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be like a second
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: deck hits off, but hey, got it. I bet he
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: hits another one before the season's over. I'll take the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: over on one and a half more homers.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: You think so? Okay.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: And by the way, a huge series starts tonight in Cleveland.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I have my Sam Antonacci shirt. You have your chase
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to lauder. We're enemies today on the field and off
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the field apparently, but get these at foul territory shop.com
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: new designs every week. Sarah does a great job. There's
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: cartoonish ones. There's real ones like this one and the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: one Kratz has on with Chase DeLauder. White Sox fans
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: love Sam Antonacci. He plays a little edge. He'll throw
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: an elbow every once in a while. I'm not against it.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not against a little elbow. Okay. That's fair. That's fair,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: but it's a big, big series. We'll get to that
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. Yeah. And before we get into that,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: we have the Sox machine guys coming on to talk
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: about it. We also have Jim Bowden coming on, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: then we also have Evan Grant. He's going to discuss
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: eating and how Texas Rangers are still in this race
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: with us later on. But right now, let's charge them out.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: All right, Cam Schlittler did it again. Dylan Cease pitched
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: well yesterday, only went five innings. Those are kind of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the two main guys in the ALS Young Award race.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: But with what Cam Schlittler's doing right now, it's his
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: award to lose. Is it not? Aaron Boone thinks so.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It's over.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It's over.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It's over.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's over.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: It's over.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over. It's over.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's over.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's over. It's over just an awesome season and hopefully
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: a lot left in the tank here for, you know,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: what we hope is another month and a half or so. Yeah. Listen, I'm,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: I'm all for pitchers having a great year, but a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: position player can't win the Cy Young. So sorry, this
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: is just because I was a position player. A pitcher
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: shouldn't win the Cy Young. I know Kershaw has done
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it recently. Verlander has done it recently and I get it,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: but to me, MVP is for a guy that's out
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: there 162 games or 150 games, not a guy that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: pitches 30 times. And that's why they have a Cy Young.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: If you can tell me that a guy goes out
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: there and pitches a couple times as a position player
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and has a zero ERA, then you know what? Give
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: him the Cy Young because he'll have better stats, right?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But not over the long haul. And as valuable as
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: starting pitching is and as valuable as Chase– or sorry,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: as Cam Schlittler is to the New York Yankees, he
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: should not win the MVP. Cy Young– Great. Have about it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But he should not be able to win the Cy Young.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I mean the MVP. Sorry. That is just my feelings
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: as a former position player, and I've been saying this
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for years. Sorry.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of pitchers would even agree with you.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I think it takes a very rare, rare case. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I had to look up when Kershaw won it in 14.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: You're talking about a guy that had his war, which
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily just leaning all war. His war was
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: two higher than the next closest. In that season, the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: next guys that got votes, first place votes, were Giancarlo
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Stanton and Andrew McCutcheon. Both guys that had an OPS, 950, 952.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Kershaw went very similar numbers, but still, if Kershaw and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Cam Schlittler were going head-to-head right now for the Cy Young,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Kershaw would win it. So he had a much better year.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: You're talking about a guy that had a whip under eight.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And a half.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: He had an ERA of 177. He had 21 wins.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: I don't agree with it. I don't agree that pitchers
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: should be able to get the MVP. But I think
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: there are rare, rare cases. I don't feel like this
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is the one. Cam has had an incredible year. We
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: shouldn't take anything away from him in that. But the
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Siam's his.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: It's locked up.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: I think it was locked up before this most recent start.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I thought the last one was the one that locked
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it up. Well, I mean, again, he probably has it.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge agrees. I think we have some sound from
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: There we go. Chris Kirshner, three-time MVP Aaron Judge on
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: of Cam Schlittler. Should be the MVP. They've got a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Cy Young award for a reason. The best pitcher in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the game. He's got my vote. Definitely for the Cy Young.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge has won three of these. He can't win
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a Cy Young. So pitchers should not be able to
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: win the MVP. Sorry, people out there can get mad
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and say, oh, my hat's on backwards and whatever. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: don't really care. I have a skullcap. It's a hat. Whatever.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Call me fat. You guys love to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: call me fat. I promise you I'm not fat. But
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Cam Shultzler should not win the MVP. It's a great discussion.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It's cool that it's even being mentioned around that Aaron
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Boone's throwing it out there. Listen, these numbers are incredible.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: They really are. You know what, Cam? Congratulations. You're going
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to win your first Cy Young. We'll see you in
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: New York City.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: It's definitely a conversation we've got to talk to pitchers
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: about because I don't want to be one-sided on this totally,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: but he may be even the MVP of the– Of
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the Yankees. Like, he's been very valuable for a rotation
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that didn't start the season with Garrett Cole. That's missed
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of Rodon. That's missed a lot of Max Fried.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And he's stepped up. What he's done has been super
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: valuable for the Yankees. But that doesn't make him the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: most valuable player in the league. If we put that
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: graphic back up again, I have a hard time with
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: the one number that's on there if you're going to vote.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: It's the one right underneath. He's 14-6, and it says games.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: He's played in 31 games. Has he dominated those 31 games?
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Has he done everything that he can do, maybe
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: even more? Absolutely.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: But 31 games. We play 162 games in the big leagues.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: So there's 131 more games that he could not have
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: any effect on. So that's where I say no to
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the MVP.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Hey, today's episode is presented by the ASPCA Pet Health
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Insurance Program. Krats, we love our pups.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love my mini golden doodle, Bella. But you
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: can't miss this opportunity, just like Bella misses the ball
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: when you bounce it to her.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Bella, you're almost there. The ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program

• 8:41

• 8:47
  Speaker 3: years and has covered over 1 million pets. To explore coverage,
• 8:51

  Speaker 3: Insurance is underwritten by either Independence American Insurance Company or
• 9:07

• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Agency Limited. The ASPCA is not an insurer and is
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: not engaged in the business of insurance.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: A team, though, that is not struggling, not clashing, the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Rays. The team the Yankees are chasing. They
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: clinched the division. Sorry, they clinched a playoff spot this
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: week and not the division yet, the playoff spot. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: swept the Astros, knocked them back down to 500. It
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: looked like the Astros are starting to gain a little
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: space between them and the rest of the West. They
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: go to Tampa, get the crap beat out of them
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: for three games, basically pitched awful. Gave up 100 runs
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in three games. I know it wasn't 100, but it
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: seemed like 100. Every time you looked up, someone from
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Tampa was trotting around the bases scoring runs. So how
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: good are the Rays? And how cool was what Yandy
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Diaz celebrated with? He didn't go champagne. He went like
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a full T-bone porterhouse. I don't even know. Tomahawk? What
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: do you call that thing? I don't know. You think
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that guy's eating carbs with a body like that? Not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a chance.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He's going all protein. He's just holding a beer just because.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: But to me, this series, I'm not sure where I
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: lean on it other than I was super impressed with
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: how many dingers the Rays were hitting. What will be,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, probably a playoff team. Not a great
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: playoff team in the Astros, which I think the Astros,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: that was the other part of this whole story, is
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the Astros kind of played meh. They didn't play defense
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: very well. I didn't feel like they pitched very well,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: especially when you go in and you face a team
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: that scores runs but doesn't hit a lot of dingers,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and you give up a decent amount of home runs
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to a raised team that, You just don't expect that
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: much power. So did the Rays say, okay, well, this
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: is the type of team we're going to face. We'll
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: get our home run bats out. You know, I don't
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: think you just change overnight, but they know in the
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: playoffs it's going to take some dingers. And outside of Caminero,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you don't think of this team having a.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Lot of dingers.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Yandy's got over 20. Aranda hit his 21st or 22nd
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: when he went two homers.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Like, They can add some pop. They're going to be
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: scary in, I think, the division.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: You almost said it, but you meant they clinched a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: playoff spot.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I think the division is wrapped up. They've got a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: four-game series against the Yankees in the Trop coming up here. Yeah,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I think it is, but if they just split that series,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: it's over. The Rays are so hard to beat at
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the Trop. I'm sure the Yankees will line up their pitching,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: but The problem is if it's next week, that means
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: we're getting to the last week of the season, right?
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: And therefore, you've got to start thinking about, all right,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: if we don't win this, we've got to start lining
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: up our pitching for the Red Sox who are going
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to be playing in the wild card round. So how
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: do we do that? So they're kind of a little
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: bit eye on the future. But why we have these standings–
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and by the way, Yandy Diaz, epic celebration, just eating
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the tomahawk off the bone. Pretty awesome. Never seen that
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: one before. Everyone has champagne beers. Awesome, Yandy. You deserve it.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you have pipes like he does, go
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: for it. Can four teams from this division make the playoffs, Kratz?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's another question. I mean, the Blue Jays are right there.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The Orioles, they lost a little steam because they played
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays, lost two out of three. But the
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays, can there be four teams? I mean, the Rays, Yankees,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and Red Sox are in. Okay, let's just– they're in.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: But can the Blue Jays sneak in and be that
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: four team and have four teams from the AL East
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: in what's a pretty crappy American league sneak into the postseason? Yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: pretty crappy. Can they?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Can they? Man, we've been talking about this for two
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: weeks and we still got two more weeks of it.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Now I'm kind of excited about it. Before I had said,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I don't really care about the AL wildcard. Like it just,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: it's boring. I'm going to watch a team win two,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: lose two. Win three, lose four. Like none of these
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: teams are showing me that they're like, oh, we're going
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: to get in here. The intriguing part for me with
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the Jays is the fact that, yes, we're wearing our
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Guardians and White Sox shirts today. They're going to play
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: each other. If one of those teams comes into this
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: series and sweeps out the other team and the Jays
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: get in and the White Sox are knocked out, that's
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the intriguing part for the Jays. I just don't feel
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: like what I see from the Jays is worth me
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: being like, yeah, you know, I want to see them
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I just don't know. Yes, it was
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: magical last year. I don't think they have that magic, but.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You get in in the playoffs with the American League,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: you might make a run just because you might not
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: have to play the Yankees or the Rays for a
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: little bit.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: True. True. But, I mean, the Blue Jays get in, okay?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Then they're going to play the Astros or the Rangers
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in the first round, okay? That's a winnable series for
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: me against either one. If you run Cease and those
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: guys that they have out there, okay, I'm sorry, Cease
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and Soriano, and then you get to Louis Varlin as
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: quick as possible. That's a winnable, even on the road,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that's a winnable series for them. Okay. And then let's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: say they win that. Then they get to play the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: White Sox or, I mean, if the White Sox hold
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: on or the Guardians, depending on where they stand, the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: two seed. That's a winnable series too. But if you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: have C Soriano in that bullpen and the way, I mean,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, those are both winnable series. Then all of
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a sudden you're like, oh, damn. We got the Rays, Yankees,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Red Sox who beat up on each other. Oh, well,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: guess what we get? We get to kind of sneak
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: in the back door and try to get back to
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the World Series again on a team that's not very good.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, if they get in, they're dangerous. And, again,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: we've talked about this, and we love what they did
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: at the trade deadline because they did not only, yes,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: they lost Gosman, but he's on an expiring contract. Yes,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: they made some moves. But they also brought in Soriano,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: who's been a stud for him since he's got there.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: He's pitched well, right? Okamoto's had a great year. If
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: they get Vlad figured out, Man, I mean, Bateman came
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: in for Varshow. They haven't missed a beat defensively. He's
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: been great offensively. If they can get those guys going,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: this could be a dangerous team if, I know if, if, if,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: if's the biggest word in the world, if they get in.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: So are we going to look at the last two
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: weeks of the season and disregard the 131 other games?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yes, we are. Yes.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Because you know why? Because if they get in, yes,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: because if they get in, it's like in football, right? Okay, well, look,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I know it's football weekend, so it's just started, but
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: A team goes, you know, 8-9 or 9-8, and they
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: win their division, and they get to host a team
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: that went 12-4, but they're 12-5. They're a wild card team.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: But they get that home game, and they beat them, right?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: And you disregard it, and then they have a chance.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: But in baseball, especially the short series, the wild card series,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: we've got to win two games in three. And you
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: go see Soriano, and then whoever they want to run
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: out there for the third game, whoever that is, Arrighetti,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: they want to do an opener, whoever that is, That's
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a tough matchup. I'm sorry for any team. Especially for
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: an Astros team or a Guardians team or a Rangers team.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's a tough matchup. Alright, pretty cool moment here. Although
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big Immaculate Inning guy, Kratz. Sorry, I'm
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: just really not. Peyton Tolley threw an Immaculate Inning first
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: inning to start the game. Him and Adley Rutschman sharing
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a hug. They seem to think it's pretty cool. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. It was never a thing. I never even
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: heard about an Immaculate Inning until a few years ago. So,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I never went up there and was like, man,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: nine-pitch inning. It was more like, hey, can we get
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a three-pitch inning? That would be more of an immaculate
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: inning than a nine-pitch inning, right?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: That would be tremendous. I think– I don't know. Maybe
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: it's not rare in travel ball, a three-pitch inning.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: No, not at all.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: 122 of them ever? I feel like we need to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: be able to talk about it. Like, I would have
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: guessed the numbers higher. I remember I caught one in 2016–
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And when I was at the Pirates.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: And in the moment, I had no idea. So for
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Peyton Tolley.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: To, like, look into the dugout and go, before the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: first pitch, this guy's starting to become a folk hero.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Almost like Mickey Gasper-esque in Boston. No, Peyton Tolley's awesome.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Justin Martinez threw one on Friday.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: So they're not that rare.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Like you said, you call it when
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: he seems rare. I don't even know that I ever
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: caught one. Not that I even cared. It wasn't like, oh, man, cool,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: an immaculate inning. I don't even– maybe I caught one.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. But I know I caught a no-hitter,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and I know I caught a perfect game. So that's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: kind of cool, right? But like an immaculate inning. It
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: wasn't like I was going through my career going, man,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I caught an immaculate inning. Check. No, not at all.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Tony Vitello, Alex Pavlovich. Tony Vitello said, this specific issue
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: has sometimes bothered Rafael Devers for years. The expectation he'll
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: have surgery on Tuesday to fix it. Giants have known
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: for a while that he could need it, and Vitello
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: said they pushed as deep into the season as was reasonable.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: So that means that Rafi Devers is shut down for
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the season, core muscle injury, and then he also said
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: they'll have a, Alex Pavlovich said, Tony Vitello said they'll
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: have a conversation about whether or not to shut down
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Logan Webb for the year. It's been a rough stretch,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and the season started early with the WBC. You know
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: what this tells me, Kratzy? Giants aren't very good. And actually,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Rafi Devers had a good season. If you look at
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: his slash line, he had a really good year, right,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: for playing with a core injury, which for people who
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: don't know is basically a hernia. Okay, it's a hernia,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: but now they call it a core injury because they
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to call it a hernia. I don't know. Whatever. Hernia,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: core injury, whatever it is. Rafi Devers had a good year. Now, defensively, okay. Offensively,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: he had a really good year. Logan Webb had his
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: normal year. I mean, you know, he's had some good starts.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: He's had really good starts. He's had a couple bad starts,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: but fine. You want to shut him down? You know
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: what that tells me again? The Giants aren't very good.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: And they don't need these guys. They want to look
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: at some younger players. Good for them.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: I think it might be tough to shut Logan Webb down.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: He's a guy that makes all his starts. So I
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: don't know that he'll want to miss any of his starts.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: But Devers' year. Devers, you look at OPS Plus. Devers
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: has been a superstar producer his entire career. He has
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: an OPS Plus of 130 in his career. He's 12
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: points higher than that this year. A year where he
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: started out slow. Very impressive in San Francisco. Expect big
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: things next year.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: No, we didn't plan this. And also, no, Kratts, we're
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: not wearing the same exact Mack Weldon shirts. I've got
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: a green and you've got the heather blue.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I do. I do.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: And the whole array of colors. There's so many to
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: choose from with Mack Weldon. And not just in your shirts.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: In everything that you get.

• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Dodds Leckie. Bryce Harper circled the bases in 34.27 seconds.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Whoever times this needs to get a life. His longest
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: trot on Undisputed Homer under StatCast. Coincidently, it followed Ronald
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Acuna Jr. 's 32.36 second trot on Sunday in Philly.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: Harper's average trot this season is 26.91 seconds. Yes, Bryce
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Harper was sending a message, Craig. Yes, he did it
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: on purpose. Yes, I kind of like it. And yes,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the Braves kicked their ass yesterday after he did it.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: So at least he had that going for him.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it kind of backfired for him. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: guess they got their point across. But it all stems
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: back to the Cunha home run that Wheeler said, hey,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: you know what, I didn't really have that big a
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: deal up about it, but we have a guy that
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: hits 50 of them and he doesn't do that.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: And then everyone said the same thing. Oh, it doesn't
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: really bother us. Doesn't really. And then Harper does the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: same thing. This is great.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: We love inter-division rivals. We love when two of the
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: best teams in the National League play in the same division.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And we love the fact that they're kind of shooting
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: barbs at each other and will most likely meet up
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: True, true. And the Braves won two out of three
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: against the Phillies to solidify their lead in the National
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: League East. Pretty easily, too. The second game was pretty easily. Yeah,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: they beat up on them pretty good. But, hey, you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: know what? It's still going down to the end. The Braves,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: everyone keeps questioning the Braves pitching. Martin Perez just goes
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: out there like every– it gives them five innings every time.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: It's like, oh, Martin Perez, five innings. Just those change-up, change-up,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: change-up veteran guy. He's been unbelievable for them. Obviously, Chris
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Sale has been really good for them. So, hey. I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: love it, Harper. I think it's great. Atta boy, Harper. But, yeah,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: it would have been nice for the New England game. Sorry.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Tyler Malley. True, too. Also good. That's what he said.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: That's what he said, presented by Lorinko. Yeah, we're going
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: to start with this Wilson Contreras thing again. Is it? Listen,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras is entertaining as hell. And listen, as somebody
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: that was always in the middle of a bunch of crap,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I get it. But is it every week that it's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: something with Wilson Contreras where he's doing something or he's
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: involved in something and it's like, oh, you know, whatever.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: It's Wilson. Being Wilson. Or does this just keep getting
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: blown out of proportion?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I think some of it's blown out of proportion,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: but I think it's gotten a little bit too much
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: for one season. Look, you were– whatever words you want
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to use, you played the heel, you were, you weren't
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: looking to make friends with the other team. Your stuff
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: was really kind of kept to me. It was kind
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: of kept like within the baseball community in the sense
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: of like, Oh man, what's, what's AJ.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Why, why, why is he talking to me the entire bat?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Why, why would he be, why would he be cussing
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: me out during my bat for squaring a bump, whatever,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: whatever it was, you know, and then people take like
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: smatterings of things you did throughout your 19 seasons. Like,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: That's 19 seasons and you can find six things that
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: were like instances. We're talking about five or six things
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: that Wilson has done this year. I feel like he's
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: come out of his shell a little bit in the
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: sense of like the Red Sox needed a veteran leader
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: and they got him and I don't think he's necessarily
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: a leader. I think he's an energy guy that has
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: kind of like Really come out of his shell. It's
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: an all-star season for him. He was their offensive piece,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: and he's had a great year. And it's just the
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: whole no Pintar thing is another instance. I'm not saying
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: he was wrong. Why the umpire wouldn't let him get Pintar?
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Stop.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: If it's a rule in the minor leagues, I don't
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: know about it. Why you wouldn't be able to take
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: a timeout and go get Pintar? The dude's there in
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: big league rehab. Like, he's got one ear flap. Let
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: him get pine tar. He's not trying to game the system.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: He's trying to get his work in. And this will
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: keep big leaguers from going down to get rehabs done
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: if this kind of stuff, like, if you don't just
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: have some feel.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: All right, so what we're talking about is Wilson Contreras
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: is on a AAA rehab. We need to go get
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: pine tar. Double A. Double A, sorry. He was in rehab.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: The umpire said you can't go get pine tar. And
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: then he just basically– gave up the bat. He just
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: stood there and didn't even try to swing. What's funny
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: is the pitcher still had a hard time to get
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: over the plate, but he just kind of stood there
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: and like, just was like, okay, well I can't swing.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah, he misses, you know, here, here's the whole thing. Just,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He asked for pine tar. The umpire says, no.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: The umpire's like, get back here. Umpire's got some nice
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: lettuce under his mask. He's like, wait, no pine tar.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: So then Wilson comes back. He's like, why not? Look,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I got one ear flap. You have a mullet, uh,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: throw the pitch, just throw a fastball. He basically singles.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: And then he just doesn't even try, which to me
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: is absolutely hilarious. I mean, okay. And then umpire calls
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a strike and then he throws a couple more pitches, whatever.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: But he didn't even think about swinging. And it's just,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if I should like,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: do I feel like I should like this? I don't know.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It's just an interesting thing. I know when I went
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: on rehab, the couple times I went on rehab, he
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: talks in the hump for a while. But when I
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: went on rehab, I took those serious because I was like,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I want to get back to the big leagues as
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: soon as possible. I don't know, Kratz. It's just one
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: thing after the other. It's kind of funny. I'm glad
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: he steps out. I mean, the guy knows he's not swinging,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: and he almost walks him. It's like when Miguel Vargas
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: told everyone he wasn't swinging, and he still couldn't throw
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: him strikes. He's like, I'm not swinging. Yeah, it's like
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not swinging. I can't swing. I have pine tar.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: If I swing, I'm going to throw the bat. And
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I think the pitcher didn't believe him when he said
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: just throw heaters because I'm not going to swing because
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: it took him a bunch of pitches to finally punch
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: him out. Wilson goes back. And then anyways, let's hear
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: what Wilson Contreras had to swing. And then I love
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: that he just dropped his bat in the middle on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the way back. Like that normally would get you ejected,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: but at least he had enough sense to not eject him.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Let's hear from Wilson.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: What was going on with the pine tar situation there
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: in your fourth inning at-bat?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You can go ask the umpire. He's
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: named me Gary. Thank you. His name is Gary. His
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: name was Gary. At least he got his name right,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: I think. I don't know. I've never seen anything like this.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Every guy I ever saw, like when I was in
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the minor leagues, every guy that was on the rehab
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: assignment treated it as professional behavior. And as like, this
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: is cause they all wanted to set a good example
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: for all the other people. Whenever it was like the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: greatest thing ever. When we had a guy come down
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: on re-ent, we're like, we're going to get a great
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: spread and we're going to get to play with a
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: big league player. And he's going to show us how
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to go about our business the way they do it
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in the major leagues. Right. Am I wrong in that?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And then to see this, it's like, Whoa, this is
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: like a complete opposite end of the spectrum from where
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I thought this would go.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it definitely, it's definitely not a good look. And,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: just adds to like the four or five, six things
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: that he's done this year so far. So Wilson, yes,
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: we will turn the TV on when, when Wilson's doing
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: his thing.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Yes. It's entertaining. It's entertaining. I'll say that. Listen, he's always,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he's always entertaining whenever he takes the field. There's always something.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: There's always, it's always been like this though for, for
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: a while. I mean, I mean, ever since he first
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: came up with the Cubs, there's always been something with
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Wilson Contreras and you know, It is what it is,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and he's had a great career. He's had an unbelievable career.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: He's freaking mashed this year for the Red Sox, but
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: there's just always something. Trust me, take it from someone
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: that's been there, done that. It's not an easy life
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: to live, but if you buy into it, it'll make
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you a lot of money and get you on shows
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: like Foul Territory. I don't know. It's always something with Wilson.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: But anyways, he had the benches-clearing thing with the Brewers.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: The Twins, he had a benches-clearing. He had the thing
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: with Antonacci. And the Yankees, I mean, it's like one
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: thing after the other. Check swing, he got ejected. You know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: he said he was because Venezuela, and he hit the
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: home run, and it was because Venezuela had the earthquake.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was like, it's like one thing after
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the other. Okay, we got it. You're the man, Wilson.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: We love you, and I love watching you do your stuff.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: So just keep doing it because it's not me, and
• 28:47

• 29:10
  Speaker 1: can help you get you there. So SeatGeek, there's some
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: great series this week. Obviously top of the list, White Sox, Guardians, Cratch,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: show your, show your, show your shirt. And by the way,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: if you have a White Sox hat on your freaking trainer, uh, but, uh,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: If you want to go to that game, that's the game. Obviously,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: those are the next three days of the games I'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: going to be watching. But also Atlanta, the Cubs, possible
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: playoff preview. One that could be a playoff preview there.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yankees always win in Minnesota. I don't know why that's
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: even on the list. San Diego's just going to start. hot.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: It's all fire. They're going to Colorado. But there is
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: one other big game, Cradsey. The Polar Bear, Pete, returns
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to the city field for the first time. So I'm
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: going to be interested to see what kind of reaction
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: he gets.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Huge.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Huge. Nobody is going to be pissed at Pete. There
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: should be no boos. If you boo Pete Alonzo, you're
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: a casual Met fan and you have no idea what
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: just happened.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: True. Agreed. I hope he gets a huge, huge ovation.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: They should do a video montage. They should play, there
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: goes my hero. Right? When they do the montage. Whatever
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: his song was, they should play it. You know, Stu
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Homer shy of 300 would be pretty cool if he
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: hit it. In city field, leads the league in RBIs,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: got to 100 yesterday. He's having an unbelievable year. You
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: think they could use that in the middle of their lineup,
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: playing first base every day for the Mets? Probably not,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: but it would look nice. Soto, Lindor, Pete Alonso, is
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that good? Yeah. Then you throw in the young kids.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, you throw in Ewing and– And, gosh, I
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: just blanked on the other guy. Bench. You're doing Bench
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and Ewing. I mean, and then Alvarez when he's right.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty good start to a lineup there. But, hey,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: you know what? The formula didn't have Pete coming back. So,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: it's understandable. That's right. Sometimes you've got to knock in
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: more than you let in. Just one of those things.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You know, Yankees are twins. Yankees always win against Minnesota.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: That shouldn't even be a.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I'm watching whoever Toronto's playing. If you're going on SeatGeek,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: wherever Toronto's at, home against the Tigers or on the road,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: that's the games you got to lock in because they
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: got a shot.

  Speaker 1: to speak to Evan Grant coming up here. They also
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: have a shot. So the Rangers-Astros battle down to the
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: end is going to be interesting. So get your tickets

• 31:49
  Speaker 1: On deck. Presented by Fox One. I love Fox and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I love Fox One. I watched it this weekend while
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: I was driving. And I watched the football games on
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Fox One. Sorry, I mean when I was at home.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: We recommend watching Fox One. It was when I was parked.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: It was when I was parked. I was in the backseat.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I was in the backseat. Very nice. Very nice. Someone
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: else was driving and I was in the backseat. Okay.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the National League races. I mean, there
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: aren't really a lot of races in the National League.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: That's the one thing that you have to understand. I mean,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: other than the Padres are on fire. And let's give
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: our cookies to Fernando Tatis. Listen, we were as critical
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: on Fernando Tatis Jr. as anyone alive. But look at
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: his numbers and what he's done. Yeah. I mean, I
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: raised my hand. We were both like, you don't have
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: any homers? But he is having a really good year,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: and he's leading the Padres. They've kind of started to
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: pull away from the Diamondbacks, making it to where that
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: last series of the year might not mean anything, but
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: they're led by Fernando Tatis, Manny Machado's turnaround, Jackson Merrill's
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: having a really good year all of a sudden. Their
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: pitching has always been solid, but the Padres are really
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: starting to separate right now.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, when you get up to it, I mean,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: they're hoping to get a wild card home game, possibly,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: because they're only one and a half, I think, behind
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: the Cubs and Phillies, who haven't been playing stellar. I
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: think the Phillies are like a little under, I think
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: they're like 4-6 in their last 10. Cubs are right
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: around 5-5. Padres are trying to make that run. You
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: watch the game, maybe they're getting a little bit gassed
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: in the sense of like, who do they go to
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: out of the bullpen? How does that work the last
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: two weeks of the year here if all three of
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: these teams are are pushing for that home field advantage.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Do they get a little gassed and have to go
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: and play a three-game series without any days off? All
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: stuff we'll figure out in the playoffs. But Fernando Tatis
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: has been hot. Jackson Merrill and Fernando Tatis really have
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: carried this team offensively. And ho-hum, Manny Machado is almost
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: at 30 homers. I think he's got 29 maybe. But
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I have to give Fernando his flowers. Because when I
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: have been roasted by Padres fans, by the truthful statement
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: that I made, and he has gotten to his new
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: normal season average of 20 to 25 home runs. It's very,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: very impressive what he's done. He's been able to not
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: only have more home runs, than I think anybody since
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: the beginning of August, but he's still able to drive balls–
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: drive guys in. Like the other– let's see, was it
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: yesterday's game? Yesterday's game, he hit two or three ground
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: balls right up the middle to drive the run in
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: with a runner on third, a runner on second. Like
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: he's been able to adjust his swing where early it
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: was all ground balls, all opposite field, very closed off stance.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Now when they need him, he'll drive the ball out
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: of the ballpark, but he'll also– Drive the ball on
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: the ground the opposite way to drive runs in. And
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: those are the things that you look at when hitters
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: learn to, you know, kind of be who they are.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: And maybe this is who Fernando Tatis is. 20 to
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: 25 homers a year. Plays platinum glove defense in right field.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Please don't play him at second base because he's way
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: more valuable on right. And the Padres are reaping the
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: benefits of it. Almost the number one wild card spot.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: True, true. I don't know if they're going to catch that.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're a game and a half behind the
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Cubs and Phillies, but they also lost the tiebreaker to
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: both those teams. So it's really two and a half games.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: So it's not, it's not that close, but I mean,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: they're a dangerous opponent, right? I mean, listen, the Dodgers
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and Braves are fighting for the two seed and whoever
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: gets has to, whichever team wins or does wins that
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: two seed can take a little bit of a breather
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: because whoever gets the three seeds going to have to
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: play a hot Padres team more than likely. And, yes,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: if it's Atlanta, the Padres will have to fly across country, fine, whatever. But, again,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: you get this rotation and you get this bullpen with
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: these guys swinging it the way they're swinging it. They're
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: a dangerous team. I'm sorry. They're dangerous. They're a dangerous
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: team in a three-game series, a five-game series. Seven games,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: it gets a little bit wonky because how much they
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: rely on their bullpen. But, still, in a three-game series,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: five-game series, I would not want to have to play
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the Padres. So, if that's the Braves, don't forget the Padres–
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: last time they played in the playoffs, the Padres hammered
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the Braves. So it wasn't like even a thing. So
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want, this is not a team I want
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: to play, but let's give them, let's give them their flowers.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I think the, the, the, the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: buy in the wild card or the buy for the
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: division win, obviously the Brewers are going to have one,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: but whoever that is, and I think it'll still be
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. That is a huge thing for the Dodgers
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: to try to line up their pitching along with the
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Brewers lining up their pitching for whoever they'll face. So,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Not all the races are over. They seem like they're over,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: but there are some underlying races that are still fun
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: to watch in the National League. American League, way more
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: fun to watch, way more drama. So, I don't know.
• 37:04

• 37:40
  Speaker 1: right hip surgery on September 18th. His hip issues date
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: back to 2021 and flare up again this May, resulting
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: in three IL stints this season. Byron Buxton, please get healthy.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: You're an unbelievable player when you're right. It's a knee,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: it's a hip, it's a something, something, something with Byron.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: When he's on the field, he's one of the best
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: players in the league. So whatever you need to get done, Byron,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: get it done and be ready for 2027 whenever that
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: season starts. Get the hip right and maybe the knee
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't get hurt. So good for the Twins. I get it.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: They were in this whole time. They were in it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: And just recently have fallen out. But I think it's
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: the second best offense in baseball, the Minnesota Twins. Like,
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know what metric they're following, but you need
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Byron Buxton back next year. You need to have him,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: not just for the Twins, for Major League Baseball, because
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: he is electric and can do some crazy things.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: Just get healthy, please. Seriously, please, please get healthy. And
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: by the way, Verlander, apparently Justin Verlander is going to
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: try to give it one more start in Detroit, I
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: think the last Saturday. Chris McCoskey, AJ Hinch said the
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: hope is that Verlander will be able to pitch on
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: the final Saturday of the season during Verfest at Comerica Park.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: It's not a firm schedule. He has more, he has
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: a few more boxes to check, but that is the goal. Heck,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: let him run out there for a pitch and just
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: get his flowers, get his ovation from the Comerica Park faithful.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: They'll sell the game out, you know, go out there
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: for one pitch, throw one pitch. You don't even have
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: to do the whole warmup. Whoever you're playing, I don't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: even know who they're playing. As long as it's not
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: a playoff team, Let him run out there, throw one pitch,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and you know what? Tell the hitter, don't swing. Or
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: you know what? Whoever the hitter is, go up there
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and say, I'm going to throw three pitches and strike out.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a cool thing to do.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I know we're competitors you don't want to do that
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: but the guys have been known when guys are playing
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: their last game of the year their career to groove
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: a guy a heater every once in a while let
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: him try and go deep so not the worst way
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: in the world not the worst thing in the world
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: if it happens that way just it'll be nice to
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: see Justin Verlander and Tigers uniform one more.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Time yep I hope you can make it back I
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: definitely do it'd be a cool way to send it
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: off pitch three innings and And then they get the
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: standing ovation on Verfest. I didn't realize there was going
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: to be a Verfest weekend.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, three innings might be a little much
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: to ask for. But, I mean, how about one inning,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: one hitter? I mean, just give them anything. Like, you
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: can have someone warming up with them if you're A.J. Hinch.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, he does that anyways. Like, these teams do
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: this anyways. So, give them one hitter, one inning, one pitch.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Who cares? They're playing the Pirates. No problem with the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: playoff game. They're out of it.
• 40:21

  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Guardians? Who do you think won? Sam Antonacci
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: and the Chicago White Sox. They sure did. 51 to 49%.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: A lot of faith in the White Sox. Thank you, people.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: That's actually.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I'm going to preface this by we got a lot
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: of White Sox fans because we have A.J.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Pruszynski on the show.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: So I think there's a lot of White Sox love,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: but I don't know that all White Sox fans are trusting.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: That they're going to win. So that might actually be
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: a negative there. I'm just saying.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is it? The margin of error is
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: under 0.1%. So it's pretty accurate, by the way. It's
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: not quite 54% like certain teams are trying to win,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: but 51% they'll take. 51% actually will get you into
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: the postseason in certain divisions this year. You don't even
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: need 54%. It's just 51%. 100% of the time it
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: works every time. Exactly. So just whatever you got to do,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: you got to do to get to the postseason. You
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: don't care where we're– by the way, do you have
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: a White Sox hat on with a Guardians shirt? Yeah.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: That's sacrilegious.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like– Sacrilegious. I'm like Switzerland right now. I'm here
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: for the trolling. I'm here for whatever is needed. I
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: was thinking, I'm like, this is the biggest series of
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: the year for both teams. Why can't I wear both?
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: You know why one team is going to win today?
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: Because it's somebody's birthday today. Do you know whose birthday
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: it is today? I would assume the Pope. You got it.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: You got it. And the White Sox cannot lose on
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the Pope's birthday.
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: And that shows you exactly what you think of the
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: White Sox as a White Sox fan. You're hoping and
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: wishing for some way to believe that they're going to win.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Not confidence in the fact that Gavin Williams is pitching.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Nope. Like Sean Newcomb, as Josh Nelson said from Sox Machine,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Sean Newcomb has been nails for the White Sox.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying a good team doesn't need gimmicks. Good
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: team doesn't need gimmicks. They don't need special birthdays for
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: the White Sox to win.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Not true. Not true. They need all the help they
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: can get. And we're a White Sox fan. Listen, we're
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: counting on all the papal help we can get. So
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: let's go Pope. Happy birthday, Pope Leo. That's my pal.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Happy birthday, buddy. Speaking of ex-White Sox, Dylan Cease unveiled
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: a new painting after his last painting, I believe, is
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: in the Museum of Art. Yes. New Dylan Cease original.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Tom Selleck. John Schneider said he said something about his mustache,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: and people were saying it looks like Tom Selleck, so
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: I guess that was on his mind along with everything else.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: Couldn't be farther off. Dylan Cease's mustache does not look
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: like Tom Selleck. It looks more like a standard trucker
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: driving across the Trans-Canadian Highway.
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: Especially with his hair. The hair is not Tom Selleck.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I also can't see Dylan Cease driving a 1983 Ferrari
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: like Tom Selleck had in Magnum PI, which was a
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: sweet car. What was the guy's name?
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Gibbs?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: What was the guy's name in that show, Magnum PI,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it?
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I was talking to somebody about
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: Tom Selleck's mustache the other day, and they were like,
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: you mean the guy on MacGyver?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, no, Tom Selleck was not on MacGyver.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Another reason the White Sox are going to win. Do
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: you know what show Tom Selleck has been on recently?
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Chicago Blue or something like that? Yes! Chicago's got to
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: win because we're talking Tom Selleck and it's the Pope's birthday.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Should have changed my luck.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: You're like drafting a kicker in the second round of
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: a fantasy draft.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: You're reaching right now. By the way, speaking of fantasy drafts,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: my daughter has never played fantasy football. She got in
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: one this year. She won week one and everyone told
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: her her team was terrible, but she won week one
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: because she has JSN and she has genti on her
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: team so she won week one so she's super excited
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: she might lose the rest of the weeks but at
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: least she won week one and she's like see i
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: told you guys i knew what i was doing even
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: though she had no idea who she was drafting i
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: don't know i'm just saying never know all these signs
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: point to the white socks sweeping this series i'm just
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: saying is that what it does okay okay.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: Even though the pitching matchup's not there but hey we'll
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: see we'll see how it goes.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah i mean sean burke tonight davis martin and then
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: eric fetty against Gavin Williams, Foster Griffin, and Parker Messick.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: I think the pitching matchup clearly leans to the White
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Sox side. Clearly. That papal hat is definitely way too
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: tight for you. You know what? Ozzie said, Ozzie said,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: go White Sox. Look, Ozzie said, go White Sox. The Diamondbacks,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: they DFA'd Lourdes Gurriel and his purple hair. Big move?
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Not a big move? What do you think?
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's one of those things that he may
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: be dealing with a little bit more injury than he's
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: let on. I know he spent some time on the IL, but, yeah,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: it's a big thing. I mean, this guy had some
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: huge at-bats for them last year, their playoff run, all
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: that stuff.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: It's a big thing.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think sometimes when you deal with injuries,
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: you don't always get 100% healthy right away, and Diamondbacks
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: can't afford to have somebody that's not doing it, and
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: he wasn't doing it.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: True, true. They need all the help they can get
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: right now. And by the way, their next six games,
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: they have a six-game homestand. They play Miami, who's okay.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: They're tough. They're tough because they're young, scrappy. They get
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Alcon Sandy tonight, and then they get the Yankees. Two
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: and a half back. They got to make, if you're
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a Diamondbacks fan, your goal for the next nine, ten games,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: whatever they have left, Make those last three games against
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: the Padres count. You have to get to where those matter.
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: That's your whole goal. If you fall too far behind,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: then it's like, oh, we have the last three games
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: against the Padres. Go Diamondbacks. If they don't matter, they
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: don't matter. So you have to play well. Get those
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: to matter and see what happens. But great games. Great
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: games this week. Great games tonight for many different reasons.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: We talked about them when we talked about SeatGeek. Enjoy baseball.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football tonight is Broncos Chiefs. Pat Mahomes back,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: ex-baseball player, Patrick Mahomes. Coming back off of ACL, Sean Payton,
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: I love you. You're one of my favorite dudes ever
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: to play golf with. Fun as hell. Just an awesome guy. So,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: you know, be a closet Broncos fan, I guess, Kratz.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're really checking off all the teams here.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: If you keep choosing teams that you're.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: Going to be a fan of. Well, I just pick
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: people that I like. So I choose people that I know.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: You didn't hear anything about the Seahawks.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: They already won. They beat the Patriots there. They're 1-0
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: with their backup QB, by the way. Sorry, Jeremy, for listening.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Jets and Giants want to know
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: for the first time in like 17 years. So everybody
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: enjoy baseball. We'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully Scott is back
• 48:39
