0:00

0:03
O Take, where we talk all things Major League Baseball.
0:06
Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
0:10
It. All starts right now.
0:15
Welcome back to the three O take for center by Chinook Cedary
0:17
this episode 541 to be here's Kyle Korner.
0:19
I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes.
0:21
Nate. Casey, how are we?
0:24
The second, The second our stream started freaking garage
0:31
below me opens up. Love that it's beautiful.
0:34
It's beautiful timing. We need to have have have a
0:40
dialogue here. These things recently have just
0:44
been coming to my mind. And so I'll, I'll, I'll post my
0:47
take on social, get some get some feedback, get some
0:51
response. My take yesterday slash last
0:58
night that I'm that I'm working through is that the and I want
1:04
your thoughts on this the band, the wave people weird weird.
1:14
Just let people live their. Lives yeah, dude.
1:18
Like I, if I I don't like it, but I'm not I just I just don't
1:23
care. I'm just not going to do it when
1:24
it comes around. That's all.
1:28
So you're not. You don't.
1:29
Yell at people for doing it. You don't do the wave when it
1:32
comes around. Nah, I don't like the wave.
1:34
Come on. But I don't want, I don't care
1:35
enough to ban it. I don't get it.
1:39
What's the point of the wave? What is that?
1:42
I don't, I mean why not? It's just a wave.
1:50
Why do people get upset over people raising their hands for
1:52
2.3 seconds every every few minutes?
1:55
What, Like, what's the big deal? Does it really impede your
1:59
viewing experience that much? Not you, just the the the pop,
2:03
the people that are upset with it.
2:04
The, the band people. Yeah, I don't know.
2:09
I mean, I guess I, it, it depends.
2:14
Maybe I feel like it takes 1 instance for you to be like if
2:18
you're on the fence about it to push you over the edge, you know
2:21
what I mean? Like if I have nachos in my lap
2:23
and the idiot next to me wants to stand up during the wave and
2:26
those nachos come spilling, then I'm I'm anti wave moving
2:31
forward. You know what I mean?
2:32
That's my stance based on that one instance.
2:36
You can't salvage that the wave isn't enjoyable enough to bring
2:42
back that, you know, to redeem. That's fair, that instance.
2:49
So maybe that's it's just a large amount of people that have
2:51
had something spilled on them. I mean, can it really be that
2:55
many people? I'm I'm thinking not.
2:57
Here's here's my issue. I think the wave is very sports
3:03
in in stadium specific. Majority of of baseball stadiums
3:08
don't work because of the gaps in the outfield.
3:12
You know, that's where things go wrong.
3:16
There are some that can pull it off, but Wrigley can be pulled
3:21
off. You have, you have, you know,
3:23
the stands and the fans going all the way around.
3:26
But when you have like stuff going on in center field where
3:29
it's like the hitter's eye broken up, stuff in the
3:32
outfield, like it just doesn't work.
3:35
Football, just a big bowl. Most of the time that works.
3:41
I think I'm at a point where I'm not.
3:44
I'm not in the camp of banning it and I'm not, no, no, I'm not
3:49
in the camp of not doing it. I'll do it.
3:51
But I've as, as I've gotten older, I mean, I'm on, I'm on
3:54
the other side of 30 now. The knees.
3:56
The knees. I'm at the point now where I'll
3:59
give you the I'll give you the half hearted like maybe even not
4:02
even 2 hands, maybe just even one hand because I'm holding
4:04
like a drink or something and I'll even give a little.
4:09
Sure. But these people like I'm
4:12
seeing, I'm seeing full blown adults.
4:16
I mean, we're full blown adults, but I'm talking like that that
4:19
have have some years under the belt.
4:23
They are. I just I saw one comment where
4:28
is somebody said only jerk offs do the wave.
4:31
I'm like, I'm like, is that really where we're at in
4:35
society? I can't, I can't crazy that
4:38
heated about it, but that guy's clearly had some things spilled
4:45
on him because of the wave. Somebody said the quickest way
4:48
for a fan base to kill a rally or to start a rally for the
4:52
opposing team is to start a damn wave cup.
4:56
Do you all really think we have that much of an impact on a
4:59
rally that takes place over the course of a full half inning?
5:04
You don't. You don't.
5:05
Insane. Insane.
5:09
All right, Well, I didn't mean to.
5:10
I didn't want to go too long about that.
5:11
I just wanted. To is there anything you would
5:13
want to ban? By the way, if it's not a wave,
5:15
is there something that you're so against that you would you'd
5:18
like to start a petition? Well, sort of along along those
5:22
lines, I, I also put a take out the other day.
5:26
Well, sort of. I'd put it out a while ago but
5:30
wanted to get some updated takes.
5:31
I said there should be a special section of seats of baseball
5:34
games for fans who think every fly ball is a home run.
5:37
Oh, good one. I can't.
5:39
I like that it's a it's a pop fly to the catcher and sure you
5:45
get the. Yeah, my mom did that.
5:49
And when we were in in Coors last week, my mom did that.
5:52
She was excited. She gets a pass.
5:54
It's a she. Was a yes, it's it's mom, but
5:56
like she was excited. I was like mom just more often
5:58
than not, you can watch the outfielder, it'll tell you.
6:01
But like we were sitting on the first base side.
6:03
It's a perfect side angle of like, you know?
6:06
You can see the trajectory. Ma, you've been watching games.
6:10
I was a little guy. You know, you know, no.
6:14
I was just kidding. My mom's favorite comment was
6:16
you're dropping your back shoulder.
6:17
By the way, if I if I'm in the if I'm in the on deck circle,
6:21
mom's over there keeping book in her little camping chair and I'm
6:26
taking dry swings in the non deck circle.
6:28
You can bet your bottom dollar my back shoulder's dropping no
6:33
matter what, Ma you. Locked in.
6:38
Well, Speaking of Speaking of dropping the back shoulder, that
6:42
was happening a lot this this this weekend in this Yankees
6:46
Dodgers series, a lot of home runs.
6:50
Nate, go ahead and just get your take out there juice balls this
6:54
weekend for prime time. Oh yeah dude, balls were
6:58
definitely juiced. I'm wondering, you know what,
7:04
Murray? Murray texted me too.
7:06
And he's like, oh, this is all good clean fun.
7:09
Shut up, Murray. It's not OK.
7:10
I'm having a blast as an impartial party.
7:13
I'm having a blast watching, watching these games.
7:15
I'm sure you are. Murray in the chat says glad to
7:18
see, Glad to see Nate smile after the first two games of the
7:20
Yankees Dodgers series. How about it?
7:24
It's been, it's been tough. Yesterday was disgusting.
7:29
Well, we're going to talk about it, Yeah, but.
7:31
Yeah, balls are juiced. I mean, there's guys hitting
7:34
home runs that just. Can we just?
7:38
What else? What's going on?
7:40
Can can we? And look, this isn't like, say
7:43
what you want about, you know, well, you're just trying to
7:46
start a conspiracy. Can we just acknowledge this?
7:49
Yes, they've they have literally come out and said that they've
7:53
used different types of baseballs.
7:55
May them being Major League Baseball, they being Major
7:57
League. Baseball.
7:58
It's been official statements on the record.
8:00
But can we just acknowledge the simple facts that from a
8:06
business perspective, from a business point of view, I this
8:13
has to be one of the easiest decisions for them of all time?
8:16
Yeah, yeah. Oh, it makes sense the.
8:18
Yankees are coming to town to take on the Dodgers World Series
8:22
rematch. Folks working on the baseballs
8:26
in the lab. Maybe, maybe set aside a special
8:29
batch for us. Maybe, just possibly.
8:32
Come on, don't be. Don't be naive.
8:34
It's easy, easy money. It's not all sunshine and
8:38
rainbows out there. Well, for the Dodgers, it has
8:41
been, actually. You mentioned Game 2, 18 to 2.
8:49
It was so bad that we saw Kike on the bump to close it out and
8:56
we saw and we saw Shohei take a nap.
9:02
I did not see this. He dozed.
9:03
Off sure wasn't just like some meditation bro Dozed off It's
9:13
fair. Carrying the carrying the
9:15
league, carrying the league has to take a toll and he's probably
9:19
probably a little tired, but talk to me about what you've
9:22
seen out of this World Series rematch to this point.
9:26
Obviously game three tonight prime time, but with us
9:29
recording today, we've only gotten two games of the series
9:33
and. It's all been natural.
9:35
It's all prime. Time sucks.
9:37
Friday night Apple TV, Yes had to fork over the 299, get that
9:43
subscription going again, going to definitely cancel that.
9:49
Then Fox yesterday on ESPN tonight, everyone, everyone gets
9:54
some money out of it. But I don't know, man, whatever.
10:01
Go into your thought before I forget.
10:03
Go share with me your thoughts on this, this rather heated
10:08
angle. It's just.
10:11
Annoying and the bias, like the bias, it's the bias that like
10:15
it's, it's just very pro Dodger. Like I it's if it's nationally
10:22
televised, it's it's pro Dodger. And like, I get that this is
10:25
like the greatest team that's ever been assembled in the
10:27
history of mankind. And I understand that like
10:31
everyone else is doomed. Why even bother playing the
10:34
sport? Just just giving them the trophy
10:36
now. But like Dontrelle Willis in the
10:39
booth Friday night for the for the Apple TV, you have Joe Davis
10:43
who calls all the Dodgers games on Fox yesterday.
10:46
John Smoltz is obviously a a Yankee hater from his playing
10:50
days. It's like, Oh my gosh, enough,
10:53
enough. It's just Dodger all the time.
10:57
It's just Dodger conversation always all the time, no matter
11:01
it, it could be a podcast talking about different,
11:04
different teams. It could be a a broadcast.
11:07
Calling a different game, it always just, it always has to be
11:11
brought up and I'm just like, it's annoying to that point for
11:15
the people that maybe somehow don't believe what you're saying
11:20
to be true. I, I was digging around for just
11:26
make sure we had our bases covered for today's episode,
11:29
make sure I wasn't missing a storyline.
11:30
So I, I venture over to foxsports.com and on their
11:37
homepage, I'm scrolling, I'm like, OK, I see some daughter
11:40
sayings. Let me let me see if I can scoop
11:43
past some of these. Make sure there's no, you know,
11:45
sort of minor storylines from the weekend that we wanted to
11:48
include. Can I let me just read off the
11:51
list here of of items on their homepage, scrolling down as far
11:55
as it'll let me before we get to the the ads for the weight loss
11:59
pills for the seniors at the bottom of the website that you
12:02
often see. Nice.
12:06
Starting at the top, we love superstars Aaron Judge, Shohei
12:13
Otani swap home runs and World Series reunion Gibby meet
12:16
Freddie Revisited Joe Davis on broadcasting dot dot dot
12:21
dodgers. Mookie Betts has toe fracture,
12:23
misses Saturday. Then there's a Wan Soto article
12:26
next. He's our ace insider Yoshinobu.
12:29
Excuse me inside Yoshinobu Yamamoto's crucial second.
12:33
Something, something and something.
12:35
Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips to undergo Tommy John surgery.
12:38
Yankees versus Dodgers top questions.
12:40
What's at stake in this series? And then there's a poll in the
12:45
middle of the website says what is the greatest MLB franchise of
12:47
all time? First two options, New York
12:49
Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers. Next article is Cole Young
12:53
delivering a walk off for the Mariners and extras after that
12:56
Yankees Aaron Judge mashes a massive Homer.
13:00
Next, Max Muncie crushes second home run of the game.
13:03
Next home run, Max Muncie crushes 200th career home run.
13:07
Then there's a Randall Grichik 2 run homework video.
13:10
And then it's Dodgers route. LA scores most runs ever in a
13:14
game against New York. Gibby.
13:16
Meet Freddie. Revisit again.
13:18
Joe Davis on broadcasting caught an epic World Series after that.
13:22
Then there's a an ad for the NBA playoffs and then Dodgers.
13:29
Yankees haven't skipped a beat after that 2025 MLBMVP race.
13:34
Judge Otani lead the way. Oh, and then after that at the
13:38
bottom, MLB videos. Dodgers Landon Knack talks
13:41
opportunity early in season and win versus Yankees.
13:44
And then there's another Randall Grichik video.
13:47
And then after that, Shohei Otani, Ben Verlander video.
13:50
Shohei Otani and Los Angeles Dodger struggle at trade
13:52
deadline. Excuse me?
13:54
Los Angeles Dodgers struggle and trade deadline targets.
13:59
And then there's a Bryce Harper clip and then it gets into the
14:02
ads for the senior citizens weight loss pills.
14:05
But like, this is this is like, why are you pissing off
14:09
everybody? There's everybody that's not a
14:12
Dodgers fan is tired of this. There's just no middle ground.
14:16
It seems like we we for the longest time, we're like Major
14:19
League Baseball, promote your stars, like promote Shohei
14:22
Otani. This is what?
14:24
And then they're like, oh, promote the Dodgers and Shohei
14:28
Otani, and that's all they've done.
14:31
That's all they've done, dude. It's just it's brutal.
14:34
And like, my thing is, I had to switch it over to the to the
14:39
other TV yesterday because I wasn't going to listen to that
14:42
after a while. And Paige and I started watching
14:47
The Mole. By the way, if you watch that on
14:49
Netflix, The Mole, it's pretty good.
14:52
It's pretty good. It's like a little reality
14:55
competition. We're in that kick right now.
14:57
Reality competition. Shift, I know you've recommended
15:00
one or two to me. We're in that we were actually
15:02
just talking yesterday. We we're going to have to ramp
15:05
or dial back this this streaming stuff man it's getting.
15:08
Out we just did. It's getting out of hand.
15:10
We need to audit what we're, what we're signed up to.
15:14
It's it's out of control. We just did.
15:16
We're down to. Well, to be fair, we have a lot
15:19
of generous family members that are willing to share passwords,
15:21
but we're just down to Netflix. That's it.
15:23
That's all we got Netflix, Spotify and I do donate to
15:28
Planet Fitness once a month as well.
15:32
So that's it pretty good pretty proud of that.
15:36
That's which is still expensive when you each have one of those,
15:40
you know, still like 60-70 bucks Anyway, It's, it's just like
15:49
the, it's like the backstories of, of players that you can very
15:56
much tell that like Dontrelle Willis and Joe Davis know so
16:01
much more about the Dodgers that like it's 80% of the broadcast
16:07
is like back story on this player.
16:09
Hey, did you know Freddie Freeman has a little kid and
16:12
he's really good at baseball? Like enough enough, like enough.
16:18
We don't have to have a deep dive into every freaking player
16:22
on their roster, dude. Like just cover the game.
16:25
Respectfully, Nate, what? What do you want him to talk
16:28
about when it's 18 to 2? It's not that it's literally
16:33
from from jump dude. It's from jump Street that
16:36
they're talking about stupid, meaningless stories.
16:40
And it's like it's so obvious that these guys are talking
16:45
about a team that they cover and they're talking about stories
16:49
that like no one cares about except Dodger fans.
16:53
And it's weird that like it has to be so that and then the only
16:59
player that we're going to talk about is Aaron Judge and oh, did
17:02
you know Cody Bellinger used to be a Dodger And like, hey, Will
17:06
Warren's been one of the hottest pitchers in baseball up until
17:09
this start. So even like when they talk
17:11
about Yankee players, it's like a it's like a slight to build up
17:15
Dodgers performance, you know what I mean?
17:18
Like, hold on, hold on, hold on. You, you know.
17:21
How has not been the hottest pitcher in baseball recently?
17:24
Stop with that. Do you know how I feel about
17:27
this? And you already acknowledged
17:28
you. You beat me to the punch.
17:30
I Nobody feels bad for feel bad. Yeah, like nobody's going to
17:35
feel bad for the Yankees or Yankees fans less about when it
17:38
comes to bias. Yeah, it's less about that.
17:41
I'm talking specifically in the booth outside of a few years ago
17:46
when when ESPN painfully, painfully failed at the Manning
17:51
cast with Michael K and a rod there, there's no other guys
17:56
like you. You're going to have you're
17:58
going to have David Cone on tonight's broadcast, who I would
18:03
argue is like I one of my favorite color guys in the
18:11
entire game. That guy is spot on with
18:14
covering pitching and talking about all that stuff.
18:17
And you'll never hear any type of bias out of anything that he
18:21
says. And even then he was a met, he
18:23
was a royal like he he bounced around.
18:25
But all I'm saying is that it's just like, it's so heavy on the
18:29
pro Dodger stuff. And what makes you think that
18:32
you're going to hear anything different tonight on ESPN that
18:34
you haven't heard the last two nights?
18:36
What story is Carl Ravitch going to pull out of his butt that you
18:40
didn't hear over the last two days?
18:42
Nothing. Everything is just been shoved
18:45
down your throat. I get it.
18:48
But but look, I think in the years that we've we've done this
18:52
podcast, we've gotten better at at trying to look at things
18:55
through a business lens and understanding like why some of
18:58
these things happen. And if you look at what majorly
19:02
all the all of what we've talked about, if you look at what made
19:04
if, if you look at the choice they've been given, like should
19:07
we just ram this Dodger stuff down people's throats, build
19:11
them up to be this immovable object that people just grow to
19:15
hate, grow to talk about more grow to talk about on a podcast?
19:20
Are they going to do that or are they just going to choose to to
19:23
leave it alone? Like it it that from that point
19:26
of view, it makes sense. Like the Yankees aren't what
19:28
they used to be in the nineties, 2000s.
19:31
And they've the Major League Baseball has been blessed with
19:34
this, this cash cow that is the Dodgers.
19:39
And they're they're milking it for everything it's worth, pun
19:42
intended. And I, I don't think we're going
19:46
to be able be able to escape that for as long as they're
19:49
good, which based on their roster construction is going to
19:51
be for a very, very long time. I hear you.
19:54
I'm on like a very weird silver lining, I guess out of this
19:59
series. No matter how tonight goes, I'm
20:02
on the side of like, I I feel like this is probably the best
20:06
thing that could have happened to the Yankees.
20:09
To get to get embarrassed yet again.
20:11
And they're like almost light a fire under Brian Cashman and be
20:14
like, you know, this team's not deep enough to hang.
20:19
Like, yes, you filled holes during the offseason and yes,
20:22
you pivoted well from Soto. But like, this team isn't deep
20:26
enough. DJ Lemahieu's got to retire.
20:30
It's it's done that it has to end.
20:34
That has to end. They need another infielder that
20:38
they need more pitching like it's the embarrassment of this
20:43
series. Hopefully gets some movement of
20:46
like, all right, let's just go have a very productive deadline
20:52
and and try to fill this hole. Because like you're looking at a
20:56
team who, by the way, if you haven't heard, has the most
20:58
pitchers of all time on the IL and the most money ever on the
21:02
IL and they're still, they're still doing this.
21:06
If you can't hang with a team that's decimated that way, then
21:09
it just shows you that you're not deep enough.
21:10
So I hope that there's some type of more fuel to the fire, I
21:16
guess more motivation on all fronts to show that the team
21:20
needs to be better and it needs to be better assembled and we
21:24
got to be deeper. I knew.
21:27
I'm glad you I was. Out for a silver lining I'm.
21:28
Glad you, I'm glad you said what you said because I, I feel like
21:31
I need to use this as an opportunity to let people know
21:34
maybe who just started listening to us, maybe listen to us for
21:38
listening to us for the first time.
21:41
Nate and I agree on a on a good bit.
21:43
We come from like similar baseball backgrounds, but there
21:47
are certain things that we don't agree on.
21:49
And this is one of those things that I'm not, I'm not sitting
21:52
here like, yeah, what Nate said, what I'm just giving him the,
21:56
the floor to share his thoughts and I'm, I'm listening.
21:59
So if, if you're sitting here going, wow, these guys, both of
22:02
these guys just hate the Dodgers.
22:03
No, one of these guys is a Yankees fan and who is just very
22:07
butthurt, very butthurt about what's going on this weekend.
22:11
And the other guy is just sitting here loving every minute
22:14
of it. So I said what I said about
22:18
like, I agree with you that I think I think the Dodgers
22:20
discourse, understandably so, has has sort of gotten a little
22:27
bit out of control. But in the same at the same time
22:31
I understand from a business point of view like why?
22:34
Why you would easily like? That Do you want to talk about
22:38
something that we've never talked about before?
22:40
That is a new topic and it falls under the Dodger category, but
22:43
it is more baseball thing. Do you see what Kiki was
22:46
wearing? We've talked about this.
22:48
I've never seen that before. The helmet.
22:51
No. This was like 1/2 helmet.
22:53
Or yeah, the hat, the half helmet.
22:55
Yeah, it's. Like seen the half one before?
22:57
Yeah, he he had. Seen the one that goes inside
22:59
the hat? I've seen the skull cap.
23:01
No, but I've never seen this one before.
23:03
Yeah, he wore the, he had a, he had a, an appearance on the bump
23:07
earlier this year and he wore that same thing.
23:09
It's got like the like the hard hat like snap adjustment thing
23:14
on the back where it's kind of cool, but.
23:16
Yeah, it's it's definitely a key K thing for sure.
23:18
Like nobody else in baseball was probably doing that.
23:20
I thought it was smart, honestly.
23:22
Yeah, like, I mean it, it's already kind of a gimmick, the
23:25
fact that he's out there anyway, so like, why not?
23:28
Who cares if you look stupid? Like at least protect your
23:31
noggin while you're lobbing it in there at 72.
23:34
Which? Which?
23:35
By the way, DJ Lemayhew. Is not ever getting another.
23:40
Oh, is he like? Brother, you can't just throw BP
23:42
like either go really slow and then surprise someone with like
23:46
85, but you can't throw like 78 down the middle like that's
23:51
that's literally BP. You're just throwing BP.
23:55
Yeah, don't like that. I don't even know what I was
24:00
saying. TK or something around TK No DJ.
24:05
Oh yeah, you said. He says just lobbing it in
24:09
there. I I did happen to see the the
24:12
the at bat with DJ Lemahieu just flailing.
24:16
Yeah, bro is. Like, come on man, it's Kiki
24:19
lost. What are we doing anyway?
24:22
You know who's not lost? Washington Nationals holy first
24:28
inning Saturday night. They put up 9 before the first
24:34
out had even been recorded and I just got to say something.
24:37
Ten overall in the first right. 10 in the first, yeah, I got to
24:41
say something. The the which I'm going to put
24:46
this on you. We've kind of gotten away from
24:48
the grading, the broadcast thing.
24:51
Was it bad? I feel like you've left me
24:53
hanging the last couple Sundays or Mondays.
24:57
I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It is on me.
25:01
I thought. I thought we.
25:02
Said on the on the call that you've that you heard on Friday
25:05
though. I don't know if that was ever
25:08
finalized, so maybe it's partially on on me as well.
25:10
That's mostly on me. That's OK.
25:13
Yeah, I'll take some of the money.
25:14
I'll take some of the blame. You won't find it.
25:18
That's a good one, sure. Well, I don't.
25:21
It's hard. I can't listen to it so I would
25:24
just be guessing that the clip that I'm pulling up, so I'm not
25:27
really sure. I believe in your skills.
25:30
But no, the if, if really what I'm trying to say here is if you
25:37
have an inning where you put up nine runs before the first out
25:42
has been recorded by the by the time you get to run like 789, I
25:48
need you assuming they have the awareness to know that an out
25:53
has not been recorded. I need, I'm going to need some
25:57
juice from you, but I'm sitting there listening to the game.
26:01
Who's calling it? It's what he's retiring this
26:05
year. I I hear him all the time being
26:07
out here near DC Bob Carpenter, I believe.
26:12
The Nats broadcast. Yeah, Bob Carpenter, bro by run
26:18
789 was commentating and I don't have anything against him like
26:22
he he calls, he calls a quality game.
26:24
I've listened to him for years out here, but I'm like you don't
26:29
get this everyday, Bob, especially the nationals of all
26:32
teams by run 789. He's calling it as if it's like
26:36
an RBI double in like the 4th of a of a nine to four-game or
26:45
something. I'm like, I need you out of your
26:47
chair, Bob. It's.
26:49
Too bad. Give me a little bit more juice
26:52
because the they were just rolling the line up over.
26:56
I mean it was single here, double here, wall scraper there.
27:03
I feel like the how do I say this correctly the older
27:11
generation of broadcasters that have been like doing it for the
27:15
same team for like 20-30 years. I feel like majority of them
27:24
suck. OK, I'm not I'm not saying that
27:28
I literally just got done saying I want it on record.
27:31
I have no, no real issue with with Bob Carpenter.
27:35
He's called a great game. I'm just, I'm just saying when
27:39
you got, when you have a feat unfolding before you such as
27:44
this, like just, I'm going to need a little bit more juice,
27:47
you know? I think there is going to be
27:49
like this new wave of broadcasters that are going to
27:52
start coming in that I think are good.
27:55
And I, I think it's like these like, let's face it,
27:59
millennials, we're a good generation.
28:02
There's millennials that are like on, on the like, on the
28:06
side of the dugout doing like the, the like on field type
28:10
stuff and like in game interviews and like Ghost.
28:12
I feel like the that crowd, if you take out like Bus Roni and
28:16
like Ken Rosenthal, like that crowd of like local, your your
28:22
team network broadcast, people are going to start moving into
28:27
the booth and they're going to bring a little juice.
28:29
They're going to bring a little fire.
28:30
They're going to bring a little little energy, going to bring a
28:34
little more irrelevant updated lingo, if you will.
28:42
Sure. But yeah, I I would Perfect,
28:47
perfect. Example to I mean by suicide,
28:50
Mike Monaco, who calls an occasional game for the Red Sox.
28:54
He also does work for I think ESPN and and some like college
28:58
stuff throughout the year. He's literally he's literally
29:01
32. Millennial baby.
29:03
May 4, May 14th, 1993. Pull up some of his clips.
29:09
Incredible. Yeah.
29:10
Just the the perfect energy that I feel like you're looking.
29:13
That's what I'm saying. Like Ryan Ruko, I've talked
29:15
about him before, kind of a guy who like occasionally did a
29:18
Yankees game and I think he's like super WNBA now, but he's
29:25
really good in the booth. Like it's guys like that that
29:28
are like in their 30s, early 40s, still kind of cracking into
29:32
the millennial like. Yeah, but then, but then they're
29:35
going to get to a point where they're going to be a little bit
29:38
old and. Grey And we're about to carry
29:41
it. We're about to step in.
29:42
These old these old heads had got to move on.
29:44
No, but I'm saying eventually our these, the guys that you're
29:48
talking about are eventually going to be those guys and then
29:51
it's going to be like, all right, it's time, time to.
29:53
I think we're built different. I think we're a solid hybrid
29:56
that we have. We have the exposure to both
30:00
youth, the youths and the old stuff, you know.
30:07
That is true. I mean, not to get like super,
30:10
not to get super meta here, but like in terms.
30:14
Played outside as kids. Played outside but also were
30:17
prime age for like that technology crossover into this.
30:21
Yes. Technological age, so that's.
30:24
We're not left behind. I know what's going on with my
30:25
phone. That's a good point.
30:28
I don't know the skippity toilet stuff but like, I don't.
30:30
Think you don't need to do that on broadcast anyway?
30:32
You don't need to know that, right?
30:35
Skibity, Ohio toilet. I can drop a mid in there.
30:42
I know what that means, you know, So we're right there.
30:49
We got a feet in both camps. That's what I'm saying, and it's
30:52
we. Got a foot in both camps.
30:53
Yep, we got a. We got.
30:55
A feet we have feet we got a feet we.
30:57
Got a feet in both camps. I didn't.
30:58
Say a feet, I said. We have feet.
31:01
We have feet in both camps. Speaking of manically, I feel
31:04
like that works. Speaking of feet, the Nationals
31:07
had feet on all the bases all night really.
31:11
And what's crazy is about the the the D backs almost came came
31:15
back to win the game. I was rooting for that so hard.
31:17
Not that I have anything against the Nationals, obviously
31:20
hometown club and all that, but I'm like how crazy would have
31:25
been if you put up 10 in the 1st 9 before the 1st outs recorded
31:29
and then come back and lose the game.
31:30
I was, I was rooting for that hard because I'm just a sicko
31:33
like that. But.
31:34
It'd be nice if I could just watch these games.
31:37
But some thanks. A lot MLBTV.
31:39
Some nugs from that from that first city.
31:42
Washington's nine runs with a second most scored before a
31:44
first out of the game in the expansion era, AKA since 1961.
31:49
Red Sox hold that record with ten runs on June 27th, 2003.
31:54
And then Nationalists tied tied the NL record.
31:56
I said Nuggets, plural. The Nationals tied the NL record
32:00
with nine runs before the first out not done since the Phillies
32:03
on August 13th, 19. 48 Let's talk about our boy PFAT I I
32:09
think he was tipping. When you give up six hits, eight
32:16
earned, no walks, you're not even like putting these guys on
32:21
and getting getting in trouble because of your own stuff like
32:24
this is just getting, I think someone had something on you.
32:28
I think you're tipping. Yeah, I mean, it's it's
32:32
certainly possible, but you know how baseball gets man.
32:34
Sometimes things are just clicking up and down the line
32:38
went to we don't need to do that.
32:40
We don't need to do that to our poor, our poor guy.
32:42
Five O 5. I would expect it worse after
32:47
that. Think he only dropped like a -.
32:51
25 in fantasy so it could have been worse.
32:56
By the way, for those keeping track at home, Nats have won
32:59
eight of their last 10. So look out for the Nats I
33:02
guess. Bro where are the Nats?
33:07
They can hit man it's been a minute.
33:08
Nats are in 3rd place. They can hit.
33:11
I told you Nats are in 3rd place.
33:13
I've been. I've been feeling good about
33:15
them. Bro, when we did the episode
33:17
before the season started where it was like guys under 25 to
33:21
count like to sort of keep an eye on in 2025, we had James
33:25
Wood on there. Dylan Cruz has been a little bit
33:28
of a disappointment, CJ. Abrams looks like he's locked,
33:33
like he's like he's. Figured it out.
33:34
Stuff has been like, OK, I've been reprimanded enough for my
33:38
actions, I'm here. You're just trying to build a
33:41
case to trade him. In fantasy, it's not.
33:43
Already traded him, already got already got my goods.
33:46
No. But in terms of the youth across
33:48
the board and I've, I youths, the youths I've been saying
33:52
this, the Nats have pieces. It's always just been a matter
33:58
of like, can you string something together long enough,
34:01
consistently enough to do something with it.
34:03
And like I said at 1:00, when I say 9 out eight out of the last
34:09
10, they've won four in a row. They're only two games back of
34:12
500 and they're 5 back in the wild card.
34:14
I'm not putting them in the post season, just just based on like
34:18
a week or two, but. Me neither.
34:20
But you're not going to go to DC and roll over them.
34:23
You know what I mean? Like you're you're not going to
34:25
dominate when you go there. You're going to get a
34:27
competitive ball club and they're swinging it right now.
34:31
And you talked about Nathaniel Lowe, like slow start.
34:37
Let's be honest, he looks a little chubbier than he said
34:39
that. Last time, you don't need to.
34:40
You don't need to include that every time we talk about dude.
34:43
It's a part, it's a part of it, it's a part of it.
34:45
But I think he's he's going to be on the block.
34:48
And this is what I'm saying. This type of offseason these
34:53
middle teams should have is like, let's get some vets in
34:56
here. Can chew up babies, chew up
34:59
innings. If we're at a point where we can
35:01
get some value out of them and sell them at the deadline, then
35:05
we should. This is a perfect.
35:07
Example of that? Hold on, going back to this, am
35:11
am I missing something? There's utes Utes is that what?
35:17
Is that slang that I'm unfamiliar with?
35:19
I'm not familiar with it either utes I'm I'm quoting New Girl.
35:25
I trust me, I got you. Oh sure.
35:29
Yep Utes is a slang term for young people, often with a
35:31
slight negative connotation. I was thinking like Utah Utes.
35:38
You know, glad we glad we addressed this.
35:40
See Utah. Yep, I got you the Yeah.
35:45
Shout out to the Nats. Shout out to the Battle of the
35:49
Mid yesterday between the OS and the White Sox.
35:53
Nice. Stay young, pal.
35:57
Bench is cleared. I I.
36:02
Watched it dude what did what? Are we doing Kobe Mayo?
36:07
That was. Who are you selling that to?
36:10
Nobody's buying that. This is what I've been saying.
36:13
About the OS dude like these young kids have like like I
36:17
don't know what it is the all the all the copy paste guys seem
36:22
to have like this like. Victim like.
36:28
If something happens where there's a little bit of contact,
36:33
it's like ready to throw down and I'm like it.
36:38
And then this you're initiating it and then trying to be like,
36:41
whoa, dude, and then push away. No, I don't like it.
36:44
I don't like it. I'm out on the US.
36:46
They're yeah, it's. Now, it's less about the like
36:50
victim mentality in this particular scenario.
36:53
And if you don't know what we're talking about, Kobe Mayo, there
36:56
was a ball hit. I think he had like a, it was
36:59
like an RBI single to the left center or something.
37:02
Ball gets thrown in, he gets caught in the middle.
37:05
A little bit of a rundown little.
37:07
Bit of a rundown between first. And 2nd.
37:09
And then who was it? It was Josh Rojas, third
37:15
baseman. Gets.
37:19
Yeah, a little bit of a rundown or no.
37:21
Len Lenin, Sosa, there you go. Gets Mayo in a in a in a pickle
37:28
and Kobe Mayo just lunges. And I'm not talking about like.
37:34
Goes a little bit out of his way, like full on lunges arms
37:38
like basically extended. Trying to trying to catch.
37:44
An interference call gets tagged out, Gets.
37:49
Up tries to. Make a little bit of an issue
37:51
because I guess it was Sosa that came over and was like, bro,
37:56
what was that? And and then Kobe Mayo gets up,
37:58
shoves him and he's like, so I was like, no, we're not doing
38:01
this. Bench is clear.
38:03
Bullpens empty. The the whole the whole charade.
38:07
It's less about it's going back to what I was saying less about
38:10
me now in the chat. He was trying to get an
38:12
interference call. Laura said smart baseball.
38:15
I was not smart. That was not I get what you're
38:17
doing, but the execution was pathetic.
38:20
That was a terrible attempt of trying to obtain an interference
38:25
call. You got to be, you got to be a
38:27
little smoother than that. I, I understand what he's trying
38:29
to do, but you got to be a little bit better than that.
38:31
And what I was trying to say. Oh boy.
39:11
Kyle. Kyle.
39:13
Kyle. Kyle disappeared.
39:25
Kyle's gone. Maybe I'm.
39:29
Just running the show. Now maybe it's just me.
39:34
You guys still hear me? Am I still here?
39:37
Am I still doing this thing? Well, let's see what happens.
39:54
Let's see what happens. What happened, guy?
39:58
Where'd you go? What do we want to talk about
40:04
now, guys? This is my show now.
40:09
Let's see, I'm out on benches clearing.
40:12
I'm fully out on that. I I have said that before.
40:17
I think it's pretty soft. I think that the.
40:21
Bullpens running out is. Always sad.
40:23
It's always weird and like if you hear the guys talk about it
40:28
like off, like afterwards, like interviews and stuff, they're
40:32
always like you can't not go. Like if you're a guy in the
40:36
bullpen or if you're a guy in the clubhouse, you're like a
40:38
bench roll or whatever. Like you have to go, you have to
40:41
run out there. So it's like weird.
40:45
It's a weird thing. I don't love the fact that.
40:50
You just have to show. Up and then it's always like the
40:55
people that have the issue, like the guys that are like the two
40:59
that are typically in like the the nucleus of the of the
41:03
interaction like to get louder after their teammates show up.
41:08
And then there's like this like hiding behind your Bros kind of
41:11
like, I don't know, it's like it's just soft back in the day.
41:14
It like punches are getting thrown immediately.
41:18
Like if you got an issue, let's get after it you know now.
41:24
I don't know, it just seems. Kind of weak, very soft.
41:29
But going off of what I was saying with the Orioles, like I.
41:34
It's just a weird. Dynamic over there, man.
41:38
Like it's like. I don't know if they if.
41:42
They're having fun. I don't it seems like obviously
41:45
they're not having fun. They're losing a ton of ball
41:46
games, but they they just seem like uptight and then they do
41:50
weird stuff and it kind of like shows up on the field at times.
41:54
Look at that little hat right there.
41:55
By the way, last time I was visiting but I'm.
41:59
I'm I'm. Sad because I feel like the
42:02
Orioles being good is like really good for baseball.
42:05
It's obviously good for the AL, which is having a very down year
42:09
or so. Like, it's just, it's weird and
42:11
I don't like it and I want the Orioles to be better, plain and
42:15
simple. And I like a little edge out of
42:18
the white. Sox on the on the counter side
42:20
of things. I think it's the White Sox,
42:22
right? Is that what you're talking
42:23
about? Think they're playing them?
42:25
Yeah, White Sox, I I I'm a fan. I'm a fan of them having a
42:31
little bit of edge, a little bit of a little fight to him.
42:34
So it's a good series to show, show what you're made of.
42:40
You know what I mean? Let me see what the Cardinals or
42:42
I mean, let me see what the Whitesides got in them.
42:46
Yeah, that's all I got to say. I can't really.
42:49
I can't. Really stall much longer.
42:51
I don't know where a guy is. I have healthy Internet.
42:55
I don't know what his story is. Dropping 100 and whatever.
43:00
Dollars a month to make sure that our stream is is consistent
43:04
for you people, for our fans, for our listeners and Kyle's out
43:08
here. I don't know, maybe he's just
43:10
stealing signal off of his neighbors like a bum.
43:16
Maybe his neighbors got tired of it.
43:18
Maybe that's the narrative that I want to start.
43:22
And start that rumor. I don't know, maybe it's bad
43:26
weather. Any who's what else we cover
43:29
here, He's the one who's normally running the show on
43:32
topics. So I just kind of show up in
43:34
spitball cause daddy don't like to, you know, put together, Hey,
43:41
what's up? Hey, welcome.
43:44
We, we, I, I beat that series and and interaction to death.
43:50
So feel free to move on. You're welcome.
43:54
Thanks. Also, I started spreading the
43:56
rumor. That you're stealing your
43:57
Internet from your neighbor and your neighbor got tired of it.
44:01
Cut the wine. Do you think that's what
44:05
happened? I don't know what.
44:06
Happened, dude. It's been, it's been cutting out
44:09
multiple times. Love technology, love
44:11
technology. Things have been going smooth
44:14
for too long. No, we're back.
44:16
No, all the last thing I was going to say super fast.
44:19
It was less going back to this Kobe Mayo thing.
44:22
It was less about the outcome of the play.
44:28
Meanwhile, I'm the one with weather over here, man.
44:30
That's Thunder right there. Holy cow.
44:35
No, it's less about the outcome of the play, more about a
44:37
broader conversation about baseball IQ.
44:39
We've talked about this time and time again recently the the
44:43
baseball IQ around the league. I just feel like is it is at an
44:46
all time low like this, like guys just doing things that they
44:51
teach it not to do in Little League.
44:55
It's, I don't know, This is yeah.
44:58
And if we want to go down that path, we can.
45:00
I think it's just like rushing athleticism to the big leagues,
45:04
rushing raw talent to the big leagues and.
45:07
These development. Coaches at the younger levels
45:10
not having enough time to teach these types of things, and
45:15
that's why you get like weird, weird plays like this.
45:20
And that felt to me. Like an NBA flop.
45:23
It's kind of what it felt like, you know what I mean?
45:26
Felt like a LeBron flop. So I I did go into the fact that
45:33
I'm very done with benches clearing.
45:35
I'm very done with the like rules of like a guy has to be
45:39
out there. Like if you're in the bullpen,
45:41
you can't not go, but you have to run out there.
45:44
I hate that and I hate that the the chirping gets louder after
45:48
your boys show up. That's the stuff like if you
45:50
want to get we don't throw down, throw down right now.
45:52
Let's throw down before anybody gets here and let's get some
45:55
punches in because that's the way hockey operates.
45:57
And honestly, respect. I've been in that camp.
46:00
For a long time, like if we're going to do this, let's do it.
46:03
Just open it up hot, full blown hockey style.
46:06
Otherwise, guys, let these guys throw hands.
46:13
Let's wrap up here. Man's lost all momentum.
46:20
My, what's tough? Is that I was frozen for a SEC.
46:24
And then I didn't know if I was frozen.
46:26
So I'm talking to myself for like 1015 seconds, not sure.
46:29
And luckily Laura in the chat is like, hey, we're you're here.
46:32
I hear you. So I was like, OK, well it's
46:34
good to know in the. Future if if I cut out again
46:37
that it just I can you're here. You it keeps.
46:41
Look at me. I'm the captain now.
46:46
It's Yeah, it's good to know. You can just keep it rolling.
46:50
Bryce Harper, my sweet Prince. You know, I'm I'm, I'm at a
46:55
point where I'm getting legitimately concerned here.
46:57
Dude hasn't play hasn't hasn't played since getting hit the
47:01
elbow. And I thought this was just
47:03
going to be like a day-to-day thing, like maybe miss.
47:06
I thought he was just going to miss that first game of
47:07
doubleheader and be back at it that night.
47:10
We're looking at like 5 days. Now dude hasn't played since the
47:13
20. 5th. That's tough.
47:20
I wonder if it's going to or, I'm sorry, the 20. 7th But I
47:25
wonder. If it's going to be 1.
47:26
Of those things where you just. You give it a couple more days
47:30
and if. You're still out, you throw them
47:31
on the 10 day IL and then you can like retroactive it to that
47:36
date and then you buys you like a few more days to get like a
47:40
bench roll in like call a guy up, get an extra bullpen on him,
47:44
like something like that. But it's weird.
47:47
It's a little nervy. I'm.
47:51
I'm real nervous about it. Apparently Jordan Alvarez, it's
47:55
worse than they thought. Has has been dealing with a hand
47:58
fracture. They thought he was going to be
48:00
back sooner, but he's been taking swings or was taking
48:04
swings and it was not not going as anticipated.
48:07
So bro it's just involved in a pretty.
48:09
Hefty trade in our league as well so that's interesting.
48:15
Hate to see that has been has been shut.
48:19
Down from hitting so not good news there for him or the
48:23
Astros, but just a minor update there and then lastly here LSU
48:30
Shreveport have did you hear about this no.
48:33
It's not. It's not Major League base pro.
48:34
Related, obviously, but LSU, Shreveport, NAIA.
48:40
They just finished. Off yesterday I believe a 59 and
48:45
O season. 59, yeah. 59 and O to catch.
48:53
It different y'all like that's a you got to like buy your uniform
48:57
that is a different. Culture right there.
49:01
NAIA World Series champions 59 and O30 and O in the conference
49:06
they had eight wins of 15 or more runs nice as a.
49:13
Team they hit 3. 61 that's absurd.
49:17
I don't care what level as a team to hit 361 that's
49:23
disgusting. 238 team ERA opponents only hit 192 against
49:28
them, and it's the longest winning streak in college
49:31
baseball history. Shout out to LSU Shreveport.
49:35
Shout out college baseball, right?
49:36
Now, by the way, regionals getting like, I love this time
49:41
of college baseball where it's the regionals getting into super
49:43
regionals to then qualify for the World Series.
49:46
Like it's fun because you see you see some teams that are
49:50
hosting where you don't get that obviously during the World
49:54
Series and most of the Super regionals, you only get like one
49:58
team that happens to host and those are electric.
50:02
It's very fun. If you're if you're feeling a
50:05
little college baseball, they I would, I would put it on and
50:09
watch it's straight action all the time.
50:12
It's good stuff. This is some of the like.
50:16
Like the OH. Man, this stage of the college
50:19
baseball season, if you're a fan of just like baseball in its
50:23
purest form as it was meant to be, like, my goodness, you want
50:27
to talk energy? You want to talk rowdy crowds?
50:30
Dude, do you see some of the best players?
50:33
Weird players, weird players, weird traditions.
50:36
Like weird weird. What's the word I'm looking for
50:41
superstitions. Dude it's I was watching 1.
50:44
Last week. And then kids for North
50:45
Carolina, they're starters was like they were talking on the
50:48
broadcast. Apparently he's eaten over 1500
50:51
PB and JS. I saw that.
50:52
That's insane. Like yo.
50:56
That's sick. That's like four or five a day
51:00
crushing them. I love that stuff.
51:02
Like by the way. Was not familiar with.
51:06
Durham until I watched that because that's where that's who
51:10
was hosting it was it was at Durham that NC, I don't remember
51:14
who they were playing North Carolina and.
51:17
In Durham, this would have been the.
51:19
ACC tournament, Yeah, I think, yeah.
51:21
Where the Bulls play? Yeah, was it?
51:23
I don't. Remember who they were playing?
51:25
Was it UNC and somebody? But that ballpark is sick.
51:30
Oh yeah dude. Did not know I lived over there
51:33
when I. When I was living down there,
51:35
that is a fun. Ballpark to watch a game like
51:37
just on TV? Ohh that wall in left.
51:40
Field, that's one of the Yeah, and you got.
51:42
The bowl up top, if you hit, it's got the whole like hit the
51:44
bowl, win a stake kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, dude.
51:47
That's if if you're ever in that Durham area, I highly recommend
51:51
catch really the city backdrop behind.
51:54
Oh yeah, ideal. They've got all sorts of all
51:58
sorts of levels of baseball there.
51:59
Like they've got college, they've got like the Bananas
52:02
have played there. I think they've got Team USA
52:05
stuff there for like the younger like Olympic style teams in that
52:10
program. It's they some of the best
52:12
baseball you'll you'll see comes through there.
52:15
Very cool. A huge fan, yeah.
52:18
Highly recommend. Getting to a a, a Durham, a game
52:21
in Durham if you if you got the chance.
52:25
That's all I got. Anything else that I'm missing?
52:30
You're a little shaken up, aren't you?
52:31
You want to try to find this call real quick just.
52:35
Wing it No. Because with.
52:37
The way the last few minutes have gone, it's going to be,
52:40
it's going to, I'm going to find the wrong call.
52:45
You didn't find out what happened by the.
52:46
Way your desk didn't light on fire.
52:50
I'm good. Cool.
52:52
That's good stuff. I don't.
52:54
Know man, the internet's just like.
52:55
Nah, I'm good. Good luck.
52:57
Internet has left the chat. Cool man.
53:01
Well, that's. All I got wish me luck tonight
53:05
I'm going to try and watch this game but I don't know how the
53:09
doyers going for the. Sweep.
53:11
I don't know how quickly. I'm going to turn it off.
53:14
I'm prediction. Let's just have, let's just
53:16
throw a quick prediction out there.
53:18
Do they pivot from the juiced baseballs?
53:21
And do we have like a pitching duel between Yamamoto and
53:23
Yarborough? Yarborough's been dicing lately,
53:27
I'm sure, but come on. No disrespect, No look, no
53:31
disrespect, no disrespect to Ryan Yarborough.
53:36
That dude, no. Disrespect.
53:38
I mean, come on. Like if we're if given the
53:40
choice between like, hey, let's keep the juice balls rolling,
53:43
let Judge Notani have a field day, or we can let Ryan
53:46
Yarbrough really take over the national stage, What do you
53:49
think they're going to go with? I'm just saying, come on, I.
53:51
Want you got to wonder if they pivot because of how obvious
53:55
it's been the first two games. I don't think they care, I
53:59
think. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised
54:02
if they drop a press release tomorrow first thing tomorrow
54:04
morning, like hey, hope you guys enjoyed that spectacle because
54:08
ESP NS like we're about. To top it, we've got more
54:11
coming. Unbelievable.
54:13
Anyway. Calling.
54:13
I'm calling. I'm calling the under.
54:17
I think it's going to be needs to be a low scoring game.
54:20
Now I, I. Could see both of them going
54:24
deep tonight. I'm not going to say like oh
54:26
guy, like Ohtani's going to have another two Homer game or
54:29
something like or Judge is going to have another two Homer game
54:31
or something like that. I'm not going to go that far,
54:32
but I could see both of them, each each going deep.
54:36
That's my, that's my prediction. I.
54:40
Don't love not to be, not to be. Fair it.
54:41
Could still be low scoring like you said and that could still
54:44
happen with with those two guys, but I mean hit a.
54:50
Slow. No man, on 1st inning you know
54:54
both of them. Hit one, then it's done.
54:56
Yeah, inconsequential. But it gets the people talking.
54:59
I want you. I'm going to.
55:00
Hold on to this receipt just in case Yarborough dices tonight.
55:04
So I want you to freeze frame that face you made and then I
55:07
want no disrespect below that one.
55:09
I I. I don't like this whole I'm.
55:12
I'm holding her seats. I have nothing else.
55:15
I have nothing else but. To hold her seats, the.
55:19
Last two episodes. You've been.
55:20
You've done nothing but holding her seats and this one's your
55:22
receipt though. You you you haven't seen
55:25
receipts with your name on it until now.
55:28
Whatever I hope I. Hope the Dodgers put up 30 on
55:31
them. That's all I got.
55:33
Let's. Let's get out of here, fine.
55:36
Don't go chasing curveballs. Love you all and as always
55:39
looking forward to talking. More baseball with you guys
55:40
soon. Until next time, stay filthy.
