• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting hold of much.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Everybody.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Welcome to fel Territory today on Wednesday, what is it July? Jeez,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: twenty second, I've lost track of all Dayton time. I
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: know we're about ten days from the trade deadline.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Crotzy.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Uh, we're gonna have plenty of trade talk coming up
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: with Jim Bowden and Tim Britton. Uh, they're gonna give
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: us their mock trades. They're gonna see trades they hope happens.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: They're gonna see trades they wish what happen, and they're
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: gonna give us a bunch of trades you know what
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: that aren't gonna happen. So it's a lot of pressure
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: on these teams the last ten days.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, pressure to win, not pressure to trade. Pressure to
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: trade is on the on the general manager. And that's
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: why none of those trades happened that we want to have.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go all the mock trades everything. They're afraid.
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: They're afraid to make the trade that's gonna help their
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: team win this year, but it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Could possibly do something to him next year.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: No, No, we don't want to affect next year because
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: there might not be a next year. Because as we'll
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: get into later. The owners won a lot of crazy stuff.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: The players won a lot of stuff crazy stuff too,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and we'll see if they can ever get to the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: middle and make this something where we don't have to
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: lose games. I hate talking about it, but we're gonna
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: have to talk about it for the whole offseason, especially
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: once December first hits and there is no more CBA,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and then the owners will lock out the players. The
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: owners on MLB Network won't show a player because they
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: won't be allowed to, and the players won't be allowed
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: to do interviews.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Because it just gets awful.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: So anyways, before we get too deep into it, let's
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: pull a Wilson Contreras and let's charge them ount.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Let's charge it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: The Blue Jays, The Blue Jays, the Blue Jays, one
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of your former teams, one of your former roommates. They
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: lose twelve to two. Kevin Gosman got whacked around. They're
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: forty six and fifty five, nine games under five hundred.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: What do the Blue Jays do do? They trade guys,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: They try to get better. They're slowly dissolving into a
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: non playoff team. With the World Series hangover here, Cratzy
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Johsh Schneider wasn't very happy after the game. There's no secret.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna be easy. This is gonna be hard.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: We just need to find some small wins and make
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: sure everyone knows this is gonna be hard. You got
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to dig your way out of it. Is it too
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: late for the Blue Jays? And should they be sellers
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: with guys like Kevin Gossman?
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I have to say it's too late.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: So that means they're going to go on a nine
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: game winning streak and get back to five hundred and
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: be relevant. But even then, what is this team? What
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: is this team going to give you if they make
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: the playoffs? Do you hope that you can find somebody
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: to pitch in the postseason behind Dylan Cees? Is Trey
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Savage gonna be the guys? His innings limit that they've
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: started out the season like kind of mitigating, yes, he
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: had the shoulder thing, but now it's like, you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: where would you get to? It just feels like the
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: sense of urgency it's gonna come up a little too late,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Like it's just not it's not the team that they
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: thought they had last year and added to and strengthened
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: in the offseason, and now this is where they're This
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: is where they're standing, nine games under five hundred, well
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: back in a tough American league East.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, but did they really strengthen the team.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Dylan Seese has been great, Kevin Gosman's regressed right, Alejandro
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Kirk has gotten worse. He was injured, but he hasn't
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: had a great year. They lost Boba Schet. I know
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Okamoto has hit some home runs, but again he's not
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Boba shitt. They some of the other guys, varshow haven't
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: played as well. George Springer has been heard, hasn't played
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: as well. Vlad hasn't been nearly as close to the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: flat he was last year. So on paper they strengthened.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Were the Blue Jays just to flash in the pan though,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: because one year they got hot. No could they go
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: on a fourteen game win streak like the Red Sox
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: have done well. See, but if they do that, they're
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: right back in this race. The problem is the way
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: they played there in last place, the way they played
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and we said this about the Red Sox not that
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: long ago. The problem with the Blue Jays is it
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: might be too late because they'd have to win just
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: about every game in order to give their front office
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: hope that they can stay alive in this race.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: And hopefully we can keep that graphic up that was
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: just up.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: For people who were listening.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: You have all of all of the Blue Jays offensive
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: stats up there, and you look at it and you go, well,
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: how does it compare to last year? It's eerily similar
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: in some categories. The fact that you know their ops
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: isn't very high. They don't strike out very much, They
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: never scored a ton of runs. The difference was they
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: were able to get more timely hittings. They were able
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: to run the bases a little bit better last year.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: And I think the biggest thing I said it yesterday.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: They had MVP type of seasons from different guys. You
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: had guys like Barger come out of essentially nationally, come
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: out of nowhere. Obviously Blue Jay fans knew who he was.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: He's been hurt this year. You had Ale Hondra Kirk
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: get his extension before the season. He was hurt this year.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Is he fully healthy now that he's back? Like there's
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: value in these players. They just this is why it's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: so tough to win a World Series, let alone get
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to the World Series. And the prime example is this team.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: To me, I think on paper, like AJ said, they
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: strengthened their team and it hasn't worked out. This is
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: also why teams say, we're not adding We're not gonna
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: add extra depth. We're not gonna say, okay, we got
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Bieber back. We know he's not going to start right away.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: We're gonna go get ceased before the market even develops,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: and we're gonna pay what we think he's worth. He
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: started the All Star Game. We're gonna go out and
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: we're gonna get a Max Schurzer. Why do you need
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: that guy? Well, he's got he's got you know, he
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: got nine starters now to start the season. They don't
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: need Okamoto. Oh man, we got Okamoto too. Teams aren't
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: willing to do that because of this reason. Right now
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: they're nine games under five hundred. Why would we spend
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: all that extra money because you know, there's just a
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: little bit of extra value we're adding to the team.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately this is this is when front offices are correct.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And then I look at all the Rays, the Brewers,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: the way the Cardinals started out this year. That's where
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: front offices are incorrect. You add to those teams and
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: they're better in their playoff contenders.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: If you're watching us, you already know we're wearing mack
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Weldon right now as we talk about a great brand
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: that makes things so comfortable and easy to wear. But
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: if you're listening to the show, let me tell you
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: a little bit more about mac Weldon with my friend
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Aer Kratz.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's comfortable, it's light, it's summertime right now. For me, though,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: they cater to what I need tall clothes. Normally, when
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: I buy tall clothes it's like something that's cumbersome and boxy.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: It still fits incredibly well, super light, perfect for the summertime.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: They got me all covered.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Comfortable performance material can be yours. Mack Weldon is the spot.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: Don't sweat the heat this summer. Feel as effortlessly cool
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: as you look. With mack Weldon. Go to Mackweldon dot
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: com and get twenty percent off your first order of
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty five bucks or more with promo
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: code foul. That's m ackw e L d o N
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: dot com code f o u L.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of mock trades out there right now.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Did we see the did we show we haven't showed
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: the Kevin Gossman right comments about this could be his
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: last start at home for the Blue Jays. I mean,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: this is interesting. He asked about this possibly being his
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: last start before the deadline. I'm not going to think
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: about that too much because I'm a Blue Jay right now.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: The focus is on this team. That's where my mind's at.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that is kind of crazy to think about.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: He's been there for a while, He's been really good
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: for the Blue Jays for a long time. If this
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: is his last start, he did walk off the mound
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: and enjoy it a little bit longer, took a little
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: bit more time going in and out between endings. So
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: if it is the last start, he's had a heck
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: of a run in Toronto and we'll see if he
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: ends up somewhere else, And if it's not the blue Jays,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jay fans get to cheer him on for
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: a couple more months and hopefully they get hot.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: You were a good player on a bad team towards
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: the end of your career. Do you feel like there
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: was a day when you were like the Braves team
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: is the one I'm thinking about.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You guys were like eighty.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: You guys were like five hundred, and then all of
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: a sudden you collapse. Was there a day when you
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: were like, man, I feel like this is going to
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: be it and nobody else felt that or did you
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: feel it the whole season because him, his antics and
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: his words after the game showed it was like, ah, man,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: this might be it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't think that.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: I mean that one year the Braves kind of came
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: to me and they told me they were going to
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: trade me, but it was more of they just traded
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: everybody else away, and so from that moment on, it
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, wow, well we don't have a team anymore,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: so how are we going to play?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: And you know, we barely got through some games. So No,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I think Osmond.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Feels it a little bit more because he still has
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: a bunch of value, and I think the Blue Jays
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: are trying to do right by him if he's out
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: of if they are out of contention, they'll send him
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: to a team with a chance to win a World Series,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: something that you know, Kevin Gosman hasn't had the opportunity
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: to do yet. But here's some trade listen Mitch mannon
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: you know who covers the Blue Jays has had some
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: five mock trades for the Blue Jays.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: You know he said who says no? But the Blue
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Jay's front office mats say no. In the other front
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: offices might say no. So let's take a look at these.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Kevin Gosman to the Cubs and again I don't know
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a lot about these prospects.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Brooks Capele and Brett Bateman okay.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Cool, Jeff Hoffman and Dalton Varshow to the Phillies for
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Justin Crawford.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know that the Phillies would do that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Sean Keys to the Rockies for Brenton Doyle. Again with
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the rock I mean with the Rockies want to give
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: up Brenan Doyle. Maybe George Springer to the Red Sox.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: And I don't know who Jojo Engracia is, but he's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: got a cool name. He's in high a ball. Shane
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Biaver to the Rays for Ryan Valaide and Joe Boyle.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Ryan Valaide can smash, so I don't know if the
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Rays would do that right. And then Max Shu's are
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: the Washington for feel good story to end his career,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: although Max i don't think Max would want to go
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: to the Nationals. Max would want to go to a
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: team of the chance to win. So I mean the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: school as that one sounds, it's a bonus trade. I
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: don't know that it would happen. He'd rather probably say, hey,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: send me to the Dodgers and let me sit on
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the bench and I'll just be the party coordinator every while.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: So uh, I don't know. What do you think about
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: these trades?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, it's cool for Mitch to say this,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: but I don't know that some of the organizations would
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: make I don't know that justin Crawford, the Phillies would
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: give up.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Justin Crawford for Jeff Offfman, a guy they've had already.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: No, but would they give up justin Crawford for Kevin Gosman?
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: You know they're looking for that. Do they want to pay?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: And that's the biggest thing, Like, like everybody can come
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: up with their mock trades, all that stuff. Kevin Gosman
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: into the Phillies rotation. Well, the Phillies need a fifth starter.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: They don't need a one through three. Is Kevin Gosman
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: now the fourth starter?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Pumping? You know?
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: Aaron Nola who throws tonight for the Phillies to the
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: fifth spot. Like how teams, the only way they would
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: end up giving away or trading one of their outfielders
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: for the Phillies especially is if they got.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: A right handed hitting outfielder instead.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: And I think justin Crawford they had enough faith in
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: him to be out there to start the year. I
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: think he's become a little bit more of a platoon
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: because Derek Hill, your White Sox, Derek Hill has been
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: smashing it and he's been killing lefties. I think it's
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: one of those things that all these mock trades, irregardless
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: of where you think guys are going to go. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: think the Jays have moved up the list with guys
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: that have value for other teams. Varshow Gosman. I think
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: somebody in that bullpen. I think somebody valuable in the bullpen.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: They may be able to say, Okay, we'll be able
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: to offload some of Hoffman's contract, which hasn't really worked
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: out well for the Jays.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Here's one for you that's I mentioned Alejandro Kirk or Vealezuela.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Vealonzuela played really well while Kirk was down. Alejandro signed
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: to a long term deal with a team want to
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: take a chance on someone like Alejandro Kirk, and the
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Blue Jays say, hey, we're gonna go with Valanzuela.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: No, I think it's I think they're the only reason
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: that I would even think about that they would think
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: about it is because Valezuela did so well when Kirk
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: was gone, and now since he's been kind of relegated to.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: That backup role.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Not backup, but I would I would call Alejandro Kirk
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: backup role where Alejandro is not playing ag Perzinski six
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: days a week and if there's a seventh game, somebody
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: else might play for seven innings. Like I think it's
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: a young catcher who proved his worth in the big leagues,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: and I think his rhythm looks like it's a little
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: off since he's become kind of the split role backup catcher.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: And I don't think the Blue Jays get rid of
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Alejandro Kirk. As much as we're talking about this, we're
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know, I'd have to look at how many
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Let's see, we're ninety one hundred and one games. In
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: one hundred and one games ago, people were still thinking
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: that we're going to be in the World Series. As
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: a front office, you're not going to say, you know,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: we got so far with Alejandra Kirk, I think it's
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: time to trade them.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: No, I think it's pieces that are expiring.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna I think they're gonna reload
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: with whatever they feel like they need. Possibly, I know
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: this is weird, Possibly a DH position that they thought
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: they could fill that George Springer filled for them last year.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Like they have holes to fill that I don't think
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: they can fill now. But if they offload some players
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: before at the trade deadline in the offseason, they can
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: fill those spots.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Hey, for the families out there looking for a new
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: path to help your child succeed, take a look at

  Speaker 3: Kyle Teel is expected to miss six to twelve weeks
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: with a high left ankle sprain, per Murking Scott Murkin, Uh, yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: this sucks here for the White Sox. Six to twelve
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: weeks though, is a wide range of time. Is it
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: all pain management. I've never high I've never had a
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: high ankle sprain, so I don't understand. But he was
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: carried kind of carried off the field the other night
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: in Toronto, I mean in Texas. Excuse me, I just
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: it's a wide range. And this is why I think
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the White Sox will be in for shopping for a catcher.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know what they're willing to give up for
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: a ketcher kratchy, but they've got to be in the
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: at least in.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: The in the discussions to get a catcher. Edgar Kiro's
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: up now.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: He was not good when he was there and they
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: were counting on Teal coming back and covering. Honestly, Drew
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Romo has not been good. He got off to a
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: great start, but apparently the true jet can't fix all
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: your flaws.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: What do you think you're with, Kyle Teel?
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, first of all, six to twelve weeks. It's
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: a wide range because I was told by an athletic
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: trainer that when you get into the high ankle spring.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Now I never understand.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I'm like, well, just your whole ankle, but it's a
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: different area that that ligament has taken a long will
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: take a longer time to heal up and create stability again.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: And you know as well as anybody like you're sitting
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: on your you're sitting on your legs, yes, but the
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: whole base of that is your ankle, and then other
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: stuff starts creeping in. But six, like, let's say it
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: goes twelve weeks, white sox are out of it by then,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: like we're we're not We're not in the season anymore.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: So to me, I think this loss is huge for
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: the White Sox. Where do they go? I don't I
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: don't think you can just go pick up a starting catcher,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: a big league starting catcher.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: We've talked about the last two days. Adlie Rutchman, Well,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: now he's hurt, and now Basillo's hurt for the Warrioles
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: too so, and Goodman's been brought up and Shy Langueleers.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: I just don't think one the White Sox are able
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: to They haven't made any moves this year that tell
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: me that they're gonna be like, yeah, we're gonna we're
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: gonna do that, We're gonna go for this one position.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: And I just think it's a very tough injury at
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: an opportune time from a guy who's been out and
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: so they're winning without him.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I get that.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: But I think Kyle Teel is one of the guys
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: that is part of this championship mentality, like a different
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: like look, just like a different intensity that I haven't
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: seen with other White Sox teams in the last few years.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: All Right, we mentioned Sam Besillah, we hadn't even got
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: to that yet. But yes, he's joining out of the
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Rutchmand today on the eyele, do we know what's wrong
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: with Sam because I don't. I haven't heard much wrong
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: of them, just saying he's joining out of the Rutchman.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Right now, they have Sam Huff and Chadwick Trump as
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: their active catchers. Jonathan Rodriguez, an outfielder, is going to
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: take the roster's part of Masaio. We just mentioned the Orioles.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: They were on a nice winning streak. He's out with
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: left wrist inflammation, by the way, so he's he's out. Uh.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: This this one tends to me to think the Orioles, though,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: are gonna be sellers now. And the thing about the
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Orioles is if they sell, how much pressure is on
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Michae Elias because injuries suck, but you can't control them.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: And now you have both your catchers out right before
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: This might be the best thing for my Elias. He's
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: been so reluctant to trade any of his prospects to
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: get big leaguers, like, oh, no, we're winning, who would
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: I get rid of? Who would I? And I think
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the moves he's made has kind of put his team
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: in this spot and it might be better for him now.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: He's like, all right, well, both the catchers are cooked.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: We've been losing here after a nice, nice long winning streak.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I guess we'll kind of stam pat. I really still
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: think these next few these next few games, I say,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: they have about seven games to prove. Hey, you know what,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: We're going to stay in this thing. It's not a fluke.
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: And I mean, I'm sorry, but you can't have Chadow
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: with Trump and Sam.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Huff for the rest of the time.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: But the Basayo injury, because that injury came out while
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: we were on the show, I didn't know what it was.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: He's dealt with this risked irritation. He said he has
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: a growth earlier in the year, and it almost sounded
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: like the front office coaches manager of Nike shack is
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: sure who said it. I'd have to go back and
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: look at it, but they were kind of like, you
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: know what, there's sometimes that we got to play through
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: some things, and Samuel Basia was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I know what I need to play through and what
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: I can't.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know where this.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Goes ways shoulder. It's a shoulder. I was, I was badly.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Richman went with the left rist, so it was Pasio's shoulder.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: It was a right shoulder. So it's kind of hard
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: to be a catcher if you can't throw with your
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: right shoulder.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Or or hit because that's your front side left hand
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: and you're you're pushing with that with that front shoulder,
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: and I just it's a tough spot. I think it's
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: great for Michael Oas so he doesn't have to be
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: put in a hard spot between a rock and a
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: hard place. Like I can't get rid of many of
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: my prospects. How am I supposed to upgrade if I
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: get it? Look at what it I got rid of
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Joey Ortiz and I got and dial Hall for Corbyn
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: burns Like I did that, I'm not going to do
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: that again. Like who knows what Michael Oas is thinking,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: But he hasn't hit the right buttons.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: The dudes in the.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Field need to play, and now it's going to be
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: even tougher because they lost their all star Adlie Ritchman.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: All right, Next is Jack Flaherty is on the il
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: with right flexer inflammation, which if you don't know what
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: that is, that's a right kind of four army for
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: elbow e four army.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: It's kind of about right in here. Usually it is
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: where or Kimby on top. It just depends on where
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: you're flexing. This is not good for the Tigers, the
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: team that's made a little bit of a run to
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: get back into this. But you know from Bravaldez pitched
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: terrible last night. Jack Flerty has been pitching really well.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: To lose him at a key time, this might signal
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: the end for the Tigers and maybe Terry school.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Man, especially since the Tigers since the beginning of June
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: I think have been hitting, or maybe the beginning of
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah it was before June. They've they've been or it's
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: been June they've been hitting. I just think it's too little,
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: too late.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Frams one start, it's never good you have you don't
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: even get out.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Of the first inning.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: I just think this is the time, because let's say
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: they're a five hundred team today and they're not, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: let's say they were. Yes, you still have Errek scougl. Yes,
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: your offense is improving, but Framber hasn't been that low
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: three Zra guy that I think they paid for when
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: they got them Jack Flaherty had turned it around. But
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: you know what, besides Schooble, how many of these dudes
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: are going deep into the games consistently and this bullpen
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: just does not strike enough guys out. So I have
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: a tough time saying, yeah, they should, they should trade,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: or they should they should push all in because this
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: is the last time they have school. I just don't
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: think it's a good enough team, and I think it's
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: time to shift to Okay, what kind of epic hall
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: can we get for Tarrek Scouble and what do we
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: need to reset this organization to win sooner rather than later.
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: What if you can actually have it all?
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: And I'm talking about mint Mobile taking the premium wireless
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: bouginess crats, but then bringing it to the transparency in
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: pricing and the affordability in pricing.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: They're going to lay everything out there with a cheap
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: bill that you know what everybody can handle right now.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: You can even bring your current phone and your.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Number if you're thinking about it and you're like I'm
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: worried about that, No worries. They have you covered because
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: they're able to convert people all the time to the
• 22:25

• 22:57
  Speaker 3: If you're watching on TV and on the podcast Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Joshua Caroda grauer a's hottest hitter. Under his emergency surgery
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: for rupture testicle. On Monday night, he hit a foul
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: ball off his nether regions. He finished the about he
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: actually got a hit in single one played a half
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: enning of defense. He managed to play for through it
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: for an inning. Marcotte had to go to the hospital.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: He had to have emergency surgery. He's in great spirits.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: He was joking.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: His personality is amazing, said Katsee. Martine Diego said this,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: I think he might be the only player in history
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: to rupture testicle, stay in the game, get a hit,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and play another half inning of defense.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: So al, but I'll say this.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: So when I coach kids and high school kids, and
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I was just again at USA Baseball, I tell people
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: this all the time. There's kids that don't want to
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: wear a cup. And let's say, if you played the outfield,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I can't control it. If you pitch and it's uncomfortable,
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: can't control it. But if you play catcher or you
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: play infield, I tell people this all the time. I
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: saw Adrian Beltre, who was in the Hall of Fame.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: He's got a bunch of gold gloves. He got hit
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: in the nether region and had this same problem. He
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: had to go to the hospital and have emergency surgery
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: on a testicle. And I look at him and say,
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: are your hands better than Adrian Beltra? They all say no,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: And then I say, We'll wear a dang cup because
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: exactly so, listen, it sucks, it hurts, but at least
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: a cup hopefully we'll save you from having to have
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: surgery and on a ruptured testicle.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: I saw Yadir Molina was wearing a cup and had
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: a ruugher testicle, and then he went to the the
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: whatever the bulletproof cup is. But I have two stories
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: because I've been coaching high school baseball now for four years,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: and just this year, I was talking to the infielders
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: and I'm like, guys, why are we oh laying balls?
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Why are we sidestepping balls? I was like, do we
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: not have our cups on? And they all kind of
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: just looked around, like, I'm my guy, seriously, do you
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: not have a couple on? They're like, no, we don't
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: wear a cup. And I was flabbergasts. As much as
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: my mind was blown by that, I told the guys,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: I'm like, we gotta go get a we gotta go
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: get a cup. Like you guys gotta go get a cup.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I can't have you. You gotta square the ball up.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: It's uncomfortable. I don't want to. You're gonna wear a cup,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: You're gonna square it up. You're a better player with it.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: As much as my mind was blown to that, this
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: past weekend, the second catcher on my son's team came in,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: caught the very first pitch of the get or didn't
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: catch the very first pitch of the game, foul tip,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: very first pitch of the game, right into the cup,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: and I was like, oh man. I was like, ah,
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: everyone feels for you. You know you're catching and he
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: stayed down. Young man stayed down for a long time
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: and came out of the game, and I.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Was like, oh my gosh.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I was like, I got hitting the cup a lot,
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: a lot as a catcher, it is, but not coming
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: out of the game third inning, I heard something that
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I had never heard before in my life. And maybe
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: you had heard this before, AJ, but I'd never heard before.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: He's never worn a cup. And he's been a catcher
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: his entire life. He's never ever worn a cup. I
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: couldn't believe it. So everybody who's listening out there, even
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: if you watch a game, you should be wearing a cup,
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: like I just Terry Francona said it. He's like, I
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: don't even I don't even watch a game without wearing
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: a cup. Like I think that's hilarious, But it's like
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: that's just never in my It's never in my vernacular.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: I'm going to Milwaukee later on this week. I'm packing
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: a cup. Sorry, I got kids, I got I got
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: all the kids I need. That is not something I'm
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: willing to take. Take a take a flyer on. Hopefully
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: I don't get hit now. Sorry, I can't do.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: It all right?
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, workup, kids. That's the moral of the story.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: And by the way, before we get out of injury suck,
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: here's a good here's a good story. Max Reed's gonna
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: skip his rehab and he's gonna pitch Game two for
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: the Yankees against the Pirates. Maybe he saw the Pirates lineup.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: He wants to pitch in New York. But this is
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: one positive story.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Max Freed will skip his rehab outing a start game
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: two of today's double header against the Pirates. Welcome back,
• 27:07

• 28:23
  Speaker 3: All right, So another update on the collective bargaining. We've
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: talked about enough. I'm tired of it. I'm sure Crats
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: is tired of it. Everyone's kind of tired about it.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: But talking about it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: But here it is.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Baseball America tweeted inside the new MLB Players Association proposal
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: for the amateur draft, which is very important to Baseball America.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: By the way, moving the draft of June. I'm for it.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: Put it in Omaha. That way, the best college players
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: allegedly are there and people want to come. Preserving draft
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: eligibility for high school and junior college players and expanding
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: eligibility to college sophomores.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: I'm okay with this. I don't have a problem with this.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I wish they would keep it college juniors the way
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: it's been, but high school players should be able to go.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Junior college people should be able to go. And I like,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: if you bake the decision to go to a big school,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: you have to stay for three years. I think that's
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: the penalty and the tough choice you have to make
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: if you're that could keep twenty rounds. I wish it
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: was long more than that. Permitting clubs to trade draft picks.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they've never been able to do that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: Increase signing bonuses, well, yeah, the Player Association wants more
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: money for signing bonuses, maintaining competitive balance selections for smaller markets, fine,
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: no problem. And then increase signing bonus pools for lower
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: revenue teams. Fine, give them a better chance to sign
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: better players if they think that'll help.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I like this.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Proposal from the PA.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: The owners will never go for it because they're gonna say, oh,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: you're getting everything you want, all the players want. But
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: I think this is a good start to try to
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: figure this thing out. And then if you're going to
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: say the World Draft, the international Draft, I don't know
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: that that's going to happen. But for me, I like
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: what the PA did. I like all of these suggestions
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: they have. You know, you could tweak a thing here
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: or there, but the biggest one for me, move the
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: draft to But the reason they won't move the draft
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: of June is because in July then they don't need
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: short season teams, they don't need as many teams in
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: the minor leagues, and they can just keep the player.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Like a lot of these players that are drafted in July,
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: they don't sign to almost August, and then they barely
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: get to play.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: They might get a few bats or a couple innings.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Some of them don't play at all.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: We're in the old in the past, if you were
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: drafted in June, you sign, you got that first season
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: in and accounted towards you having to be protected on
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: the forty man, it doesn't count anymore. So therefore, guess
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: what the owners gain another round of control on minor
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: league players.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I have to look at this round of proposals differently
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: than just all as a player, like, oh, obviously you
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: love this because you were a player. My and I
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: even tweeted it last night. I want all of these
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: proposals to grow the game, to be better for fans.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: I want this to be So, how are these proposals
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: better for fans? If we shift it to June? You
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: know what we can do. We can make a spectacle
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: out of Omaha. We can make a spectacle out of
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: a college World Series. Yes, not everybody's going to be there,
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: but you know how many are going to be there,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: way freaking more than we're in Philadelphia this year, and
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: you can have it in one stable location. Now, we're
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: growing anticipation for the draft that Major League Baseball has said, hey,
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: you know what, we are not saying it out loud,
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: but we want to quiet quit on the minor leagues
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: and just allow colleges to spend the money.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: And for fans who.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: Say, oh, well, they'll just pump some money into the colleges,
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: No they won't. It's not going to create better players.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: That's not development. Colleges don't develop players. Wake Forest develops pitchers,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Tennessee develops pictures. West Virginias get their pitching lab. Yes,
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: there are places that do really good at creating a
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: type of player and increasing talent. But college is not
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: the place where you should allow your minor league development
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: to happen. Because coaches need to win, want to win.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: Colleges pay them to win. So to me, Major League
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: Baseball shifts it back to June like it was. Now,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: you have a marquee event that's already there, let's just
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: piggyback off of that. Let's join forces, and possibly some
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: of the guys that are going to get drafted are
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: already there because they're already playing on those teams.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: So that's one of the things that I really like.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And the other thing that I like is.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: The fact that the fans would be able to watch
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: this and now have an anticipation something that is completely
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, even the place that hosted the draft last
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: year or this season in Philly. They were breaking the
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: set down while we were still talking about while we
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: were still watching coverage. Stuff like that doesn't happen in
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: sports that really show their draft or highlight their draft.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: And I think this is something that Major Baseball needs
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: to make sure when they counter back to the players.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: It's not only about the money. I get a lot
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: of CBA is about money. I understand that, but it's
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: there has to be a fan experience. There has to
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: be a fan interaction anticipation that grows the game that
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: I think if both sides are willing to do that,
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a lot easier to find that
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: common ground and not argue so much and maybe not
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: miss any games next year.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's the key. Let's not miss any games.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: And by the way, if you want to see a
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: really good breakdown of three things I saw this today,
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: Bridge Rowley broke down three things today on her Instagram
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: profile about things people aren't talking about as far as
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: the CBA comes the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. It was
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: owners don't care if they miss regular season games. They
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: don't make that much money off them. Especially in April.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Owners only owners have a big thing coming because there's
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: going to be some new TV agreement deals having to
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: be reached and if they can't promise one hundred and
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: sixty two games, they're going to lose money. And then
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: the third one was an international draft and how David
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Ortiz is a Nelson cruise and some other players put
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: the kaibash Ona at the Union last year. So if
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: you got a minute, go to britt Duoli and listen
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: to her Instagram post because it's pretty interesting on some
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: different things that most people don't talk about. They're under
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: the radar, things that will definitely be negotiated in this
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: new CBA. So it's just so much stuff. We're going
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: to cover it for months, but you know, kind of
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: rattle on this because we love it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: I love it, I do. I know you keep saying, Ah,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: I'm so sick of it. I love it because I
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: think we're at a inflection point that the owners are
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: really trying to put their foot down, and I think
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: they're missing the boat on what fans actually won. I
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: think they're missing the boat on connecting with the fans
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: at a time when I think fans are super connected
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: to the game, and I think we have a chance
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: to really improve the game. And I think the owners
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: are really really worried about their private activity and bottom line,
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: and I think I think it's a chance that we
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: can grow the game and push it forward with a
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: lot of good initiatives that could be put into this
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: CBA if we just get the greed factor out of
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: the way on both sides.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: All right, well we can talk about this tomorrow. I'm
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: over it, and tomorrow knows Scott again, It'll be Kratz
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: and I.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow again.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: So as players only, catchers only, we'll get into more
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: trade rumors.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: With the guests, I'm sure we'll get into more CBA talk.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Hopefully no one else gets injured. A lot of games
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: on now, a lot of games come. So thank you
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: all for watching. And crats out today is not a thing.
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: So here's what my foul territory had. It's the same
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: one I've worn since day one. It kind of stinks
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: a little bit, it's kind of yellow, but you know.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: What, we keep rolling. See you guys tomorrow.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: Whether you've predicted a walk off home run or a
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: game saving strikeout, nothing feels quite like calling those big
