• 0:08
  Speaker 1: should win it.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: F t in Vegas day two and it is a
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: national holiday today.

  Speaker 1: First, that's a holiday. It's Canada Day. Happy Canadaday, scot
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Canada Day.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Where I was going, but I'll take it Boxer Day?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What's Boxer Day? I bet that was after Christmas?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Holiday starts with the letters b oh b B Why
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: bringer old beer?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: No damn?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: What's that spelled B?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Why he o b B? Why Bobby? Bobby space Oh Bobby? Yeah?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Happy Bobby Bania Day.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Obody nobody one nine three million dollars Bobby bo nobody?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Did he get it through twenty thirty five?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: But here's my thing about that, there's so many guys
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that do this now, it's just because he was the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: first one. Gilbert at Beverly Hills was the guy who
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: negotiated this contract. And now if everyone still talks about
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: some good for Bobby plus, I mean, god knows how
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: much he's making when the Players Association, so he's getting
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: paid a lot.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Still, we're going to have Shoho tany day in like
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: twenty eighty nine or something like that. But for Bobby,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: the incredible part is that the last game he played
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: was in two thousand and one.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: He's got like ten more years too.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Twenty thirty five.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Good for him from good for you, Bobby, bo I
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: love you, your fun golf guy, fun golf partner.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: He would have gotten more money had he gotten upfront. Really, yes,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: none of these deferred money. Now of deferred money is like,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: oh wow, the player's making out so well, it's just
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: cool to get the check. Had he gotten the money
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: upfront and invested it the same way the team invested it, like,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: the team's not paying him more, They've just used that money.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I thought in this case they were paying him more
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: because they thought that their return were from already made off.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Who was saying that everything was turning into gold. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: thought there was, okay, well a little bit of that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Maybe maybe maybe they're so different, but yeah, he always
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: want the money and.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: He's an interest on his though. I thought he started
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: at one and it slowly has gone up.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I think so so. I wish whatever work, but I.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Mean nice to be sitting at home and get a
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: check for one plus million dollars every year for no reason.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Griffy stills like the third highest paid red guy Griffy
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Still yeah, I mean Max Sures is going to be
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: getting money for like twenty more years. Actually has got
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: like fifteen a year from the Nats.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: For a minute, yet, we'll do a deferral segment in
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the off season. I think that'd be fun.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Deferral Max Sures is getting paid from like seven different
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: teams this year. Show Hayes is going to be ridiculous.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Let's just be of course it is. He's earning eight
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: million a year. He is ten years.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: We played a little poker last night, or they did.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I broadcasted it. If you want to check it out,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: it's on our YouTube channel live for a few hours.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Congratulates to Delan Betansas. We'll talk more about that in
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit. But Dylan's pretty good at poker. After
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the poker tournament that he won, what did he do?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: He played more poker, He went playing more poker, he
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: got play more today.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, here's my thing with that, Like, there's only one
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: person that has sat at that table and taking Buttansas
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: out and it was me, and they all ganged up
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: on me to get me out early. And then so
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: once I was out, there was no chance. I was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: sitting there, Mark was texting me because I left to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: take a nap, and Mark was like, he said, he
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: was sending me screenshots of the chip gun. I'm like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: but Tanzas has got this. He's like, what do you mean?
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Polara has a huge lead. I'm like, but Tanzas has
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: got this. He did. Dylan was the Dodgers.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: He is, but he almost went down early. He almost
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: went down in the.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: It was not it was not he. I mean he
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: went because he had a little he had a small
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: stack and he got called I think by chef. Yeah,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: it was good. He's a good player. There's no there's
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: no denying it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: It was fun.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: He gets what's going on.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, all right, let's have some fun with some baseball
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: action yesterday, because then eventually we're gonna have three good guests.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Let's charge.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Let's charge about.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Red Sox beat up on Chase Burns and the Reds
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: will you or bray you with a regular homer? And
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and inside the parker was Chase Burns.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Tipping in his second start.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Apparently listen he got what one out and had like
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: zero swings and missus throwing one hundred with the slider
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and change up six runs. It was. And when you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: see a player go over to another player and it's
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a pretty good dead giveaway. And if they're like first
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: pitch changeups and sliders and they're hitting them four hundred
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: feet with his stuff, something's going on. And Alex Cora
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is one of the best, legally or illegally finding ways
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to find tips.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: To even know my epic line, Sorry, I mean it's true.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't mean that I love Alex.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: On the resume it is.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: It's one hundred percent true. You're always looking for that stuff.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: People think like all of a sudden, the trash can
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: scheme was like, oh, you know what, let's try this.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: No, they're exhausting all other things.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: They're like they've thought about doing the Victor Martinez and
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: having somebody in center field, like they've they've like, they
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: think of everything. So to find something from a rookie's
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: first start, it's probably not that big a deal for him.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: But that's yeah, was he tipping?
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Yes? I guess we'll never know. Yes he was.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys don't know what it was.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch the game. I was too busy getting
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: my butt kicked in poker, true, and taking a nap,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: can take a nap, yeah, but by the time poker
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: was done that the game was already almost over.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: What's impressive to me is that if it was tipping,
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: young guys don't necessarily know how to use a tip
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: like that early in the in your big league career,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: some young guys are like, I don't trust it. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: don't trust what you guys got, or I don't see it.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: So I love seeing young guys who can learn that
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: who else is on that team, who else is on
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the red Soide team on pregnant take good? Also legally
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: or illegally of using tips.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, you know what amazes me from a fan perspective,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: even if you do know what's coming.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Chase Burns has.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you eliminate things. Here's what you do. So
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: if you're if you're when I knew it was coming,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I could eliminate pictures like I wanted to know if
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a guy had a split when he was throwing the split,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: because until you got two strikes, it was just an
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: auto take it, not swinging, because if you threw first,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because there's very rarely a strikes, you just wouldn't swing
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: at it right but the thing was he was throwing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: them for strikes, so they were like, oh, here comes
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a slider, or he throws it for a strike and
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it's not the best slider and they're whack, change it, whack, fastball, whack.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: That's that's where it is.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Is.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: The biggest thing is is your takes. Your takes, your takes,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: tell your takes to Like I remember in two thousand
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and nineteen ish when the Rays played the Astros and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: glass Now started and they had his pitches. It wasn't
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the swings, it's the takes. Like he was throwing hammer
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: breaking balls and they're just like not even there's even
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: like they were just like nope, and they throw a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: fast whack. I mean in the first inning. I'm like,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they got his pitches. But it's weird. On the air,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you can't really say that I did, yes, because it's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: kind of maybe you can't as the local guy, but
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: as a national guy, you kind of just hint at
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it because because you're not picking a team. Yeah, you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: not picking a team, and you don't want to say
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like if I was. I think lu Maloni was on
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox saying like, oh, like if I was
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the red Sox. I'd be like, Lou, shut up, dude,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: we won't have to play this guy later.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Krats, I am actually in the market for a new car.
• 7:49

• 7:54

  Speaker 3: knows a tip if you guys are finding it when
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: there are people on I think every team whose job
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: is th.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Others, some teams really do not care about it. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's crazy.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Really, it's crazy to me because of the level of
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: stuff that's out there in the game and you're sitting
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: there going like you don't want to know what's coming.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: There is not a pitch in the game that, if
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: you know it's coming over three pitches that a big
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: league hitter can't do damage on it. Now, if you
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: only have one chance or it's like, well, every time
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: he tilts his glove up it's either slider or change
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: up it's off speed, then you might not have But
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: if you know the pitch specifically what it is.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's damage.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to bring some outliers up. I knew
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: what pitch Marianna Rivera was throwing, and I knew a
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: pitch Tommy Camley was throwing the playoffs last year.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I can't figure out Tommy Camley finally show hey did
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the smart thing and just sat on it. I remember
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: mister Homer by about two inches in the World Series,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and he was the first one that finally just went
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: up there and sat on it. And the other thing
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is is Mariano was just a different animal because his
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: ball moved like thing you've ever seen before. I can't
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: unless you faced him and stood in the box. People
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: are like, I don't understand why you couldn't hit Mariano
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: until you stood in the box and understood what his
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: ball did. You can't. You can't make it up. Like
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that's why if you remember Chef talking yesterday, they the
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Red Sox saw him all the time, so they got
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to a point where they were kind of could anticipate
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: his movement. But when like for me, I would see
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: him once a year, twice a year, it was like, okay,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: this is impossible because he would throw and then it
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: also helped it. The umpire strikes in with him was
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: like because they didn't know either there there was balls.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I swear there was one. Bob Davis and I love you,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: and he was with the buddy of mine. He called
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: me yesterday. He threw me a pitch in it and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: he called it a strike. He struck me out on it,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Bob, the ball like literally wants
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: hit you. Like I felt that Nick my jersey's like Oh,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that's a good pitch.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, there's no way, but you're talking about you're
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: talking about an anomaly pitch. You're talking about a glitch
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: like you talk about haters fastball as a glitch, Like
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: your eye is processing things at a rate higher than
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: in your mind is like able to like conceptualize it.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Mariano's fastball would not only would it cut and maybe
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: you see that cut. You have to swing in an
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: area where you're not used to swinging to be able
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: to make contact with it, and then it's moving also
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: in a horizontal direction. So it's just, yeah, those are
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: those are glitch pitches.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair. It's a good combo though. It's interesting,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: but it leads to the victor.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Next time he pitches, he'll do something different. Even if
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: they didn't have anything, he'll Frank Cartito and Derek Johnson,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: they'll have him doing something different. Yeah. I mean there
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was a thing where Ryan Dempster used to do his
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: whole glove like this. I mean, it didn't stop me
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: from hitting my favorite home run of all time off.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Of them, but you know, to try and throw people at.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: The anniversary to me, I was gonna say it wasn't
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that the anniversary? That the anniversary? To me, it was riot.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: It was almost a riot. It regally it was awesome.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: They said to stop the game for like twenty minutes
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: because all the Cup fans do garbage on the field.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Classy, yeah, stay.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Classy, stay classy.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: All right, So the Red Sox win, I mean, they've
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: lost seven of nine, but they're only three games back
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: of a wild card, so we'll see what happens. There
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: are a lot of teams that can go on a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: run and get themselves right back in the picture right now.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: In the picture and in the lead are two different things.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: But three games back of a wild card spot. The orioles,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: I think are only you can't be six games back.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: You can't be hot and get to three games. You
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: can't win seven in a row and get the three
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: games back. That doesn't that doesn't get you back in
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: because then you need to be hot. Win you're three
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: games back.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: No, they've lost seven of nine in their three games.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, are the marlins in it?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They're just as and it has the braves are hey
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: too soon? Wait a few weeks and then we'll find out.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Better than box scores we'll hit a few more games
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: from Monday night, starting with Zach Wheeler making a little.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: An Elsie Young run. Perhaps with his eight innings of
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: shutout baseball, is.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: He going to be out there too much to lose
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the award.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Like he did what three years ago? Maybe who did
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: he lose it to?
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Burns had like thirty less innings but almost the
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: same amount of strikeouts. So I guess it's it's whoever,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: whoever the voters think is most dominant. Right now, he's
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: been he's been the most consistent wire to wire. I
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: think he had one Clonker Yamamoto has been like ridiculous
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: early and then he's just kind of been regular Cy
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Young level. But the best to me, I think the
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: best way Obviously a voter, people who vote on it
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: have to give their give their take on it. But
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: if you're doing it down the stretch. I don't think
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: June's down the stretch, But if you do it July, August, September,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: that's who wins it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like MVP, he's your judge. To me,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the National League is more a little bit more condensed.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: The American League, to me, has more options. Hunter Brown Scooble.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: There's there's better options in the American more options crochet
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: you can throw in there. Right, there's there's more in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: the American League that you can throw with the National League.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: To me, Wheeler Skiings Yamamoto is gonna get there. He's
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: gonna go on the I L. Let's be He's gonna
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: go on the IL at some point they're gonna five
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: or sea. That's what I'm saying. I mean right now,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: to me, in the National League, it's it's Skiings and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: it's Wheeler.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: And there's not really I mean, you know, Christopher Sanchez
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: is having a good year, but is he gonna keep
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: it up? Freddy Peralta is having a really good year.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna keep it up? To Graham is in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the American League, you don't got to worry about him anymore, right,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, there's not there's not Gallons
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: not having a good year. Logan Webb's having a good year,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: but he's seven and six and I know that doesn't matter.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: But also pitches too much.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I mean he's the guy that takes the ball ands like,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: oh you need me to go eight, I'm gonna go eight,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and I might give up an extra run in the eighth.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: We're winning five to two save a bullpen, So I
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. To me right now, it's Skeens and Wheeler
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: in the National.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: They also pitch.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I mean they are like Web with the innings one
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: oh six for Skiens, one oh seven for Wheeler. Let's
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: see how much Web has I can also just go
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to the innings.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: I feel like this thirteen three guys who pitch, Yeah,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: throw a lot. It may push out of Yamamoto because
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: it's not like Yamamoto's strikeouts are like other worldly strikeouts. Listen,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: he'll be a top five because even even with his
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: quote iel stint or his they just can't have him
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: go over his starts that he's most starts he's ever
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: had in his career.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: And he's going to do an extra month. Wheeler might too.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Skeens won't.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're not worried about Wheelers used to it
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: though they're not worried about Wheelers.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: But Yamamoto is potentially going to do an extra what
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: five starts or so in October.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: They're going to make sure.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: That he may be like he'll go on the eye
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: phantom Ale at the least.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I just never had more than twenty six starts every
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in his life. Especially if they get a little bit
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of a lead, you're starting to they're starting to kind
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: of creep away from starting to build. Get a seven
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and a half game lead right now, they're gonna but.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Really, one Ilston could technically be one start for him.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: So because he's throwing, because he's throwing once every seven days,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: it's a fifteen day I l you bring him back
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: on the fifteenth day and he starts, so you know
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be there.

  Speaker 2: All right, let's flip to the American League.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Cal Riley homeward again two for a roserain last night,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: but Cal's at thirty three home runs. You weren't with
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: us last week when we did some Cal talk, including
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Cal versus Judge for MVP.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Have you waited in on that one yet for first
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: half MVP? Would you like to?
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Aaron Judge takes it out. No chance, it's not close,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: No chance to me for the first No chance Cal
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Ray should win it. Okay, Cal should win it. Catcher
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Premium position. Okay, Platinum Glove winner, Premium position, and last
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: but not least, he's got more homers than Judge and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he's having an all time historic year. To me, that's MVP. No,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: can you keep it up to the second app I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: don't know, but if he hit sixty homers as a catcher,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta win the MVP.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry there was the question was first half.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll still take Raley. He's got more homers than Jude.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Judge hits homers. Any plays position of much importance. Do
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you know what Judge is Batting average? Don't care. Batting
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: average doesn't matter.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: That's the writer, someone who had a good batting average.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Just the writers as the front of writers.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: War writers will tell you war sur.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Rise, Louise a rise with batting average doesn't matter.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Irony Judge six point three, Fan grafts War at the moment,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Kyle Riley five point six.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, if if I'm that's close, that's.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Close that you go by other stats.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: If car Rawly wins a Platinum Glove and he hits
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: fifty five homers as a catcher of the all time record,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: you don't think he deserves a win MVP. Oh, yeah.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: For the season, absolutely, but for the first half it's
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: still Judges Award.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: The question was I'll die on this sort.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: First half MVP as Aaron Judge, Cal his team's in
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: first place.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Cal's team doesn't. That doesn't matter. The writers have proven
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that doesn't matter because when a Rod and some of
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: the other guys win it with their last place team
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Mike Trell there had never made the playoffs. You want it,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: it don't matter. They don't care about that.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: Well, that's why I probably have grammatical errors when I
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: text people, because I'm not a writer.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: They don't care about it. Ask We asked Ken Rowley, Ken.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Rawley, Ken Rosenthal.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: The Mariners are in a playoff spot, by the way
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: right now, so he is helping them.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Historic season by Cal Rawley. More historical season by aa
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Ron Judge.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: This year, this halfs no chance, no chance.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: From until two days ago, three days ago, he had
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: a twelve hundred OPS for the first half of the season.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Eighty one games any twelve hundred ops. Okay, his OPS
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: was almost two hundred points.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: He's also been going like this, I'm not Cal Rawley
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: just keeps bashing homers. I'm not saying Cara has a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: better nickname, and Aaron Judge has to do something special
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to win it because he's already won it so many times.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: So therefore, like when Raccoon, you won it, who had
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a better first half? Question Cal Ray because he catches. Sorry,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a catcher. I'm biased. I admit it. I am awesome.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I am also biased. But if somebody does something that's
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: never happened before in the history of baseball, There's been
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: two guys that have hit more homers in the first
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: half than Cal Raley, Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire right,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and they set the all time home run records both
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: those years. I'm not saying that's gonna happen to kl Rawley.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: But if you do something historic like that for a catcher,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: all time home run record for catcher's like forty four.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: He already got thirty four. That if he hits fifty
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: homers as a catcher, he wins it. I'm sorry, I
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: don't care. I know New York bias, Seattle bias, whatever
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you want to call it. He should win. That's it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I ask Andrew Jones when he comes in here what
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: he thinks. He'll say, Aaron Judge, because he played for
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the Yankees, which is a lie because he liked it
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in Homers, and.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't even say that's necessarily the case.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to see if I can find any of
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: the late clutch stats, because I know I'd seen some
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: with Cal but I haven't really searched Aaron Judge on
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that front, because that should matter too, right.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Aaron Aaron Judge versus the Red Sox when they got swept,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: how do you do? Here's the real question? Whose third?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Is this more of a like? Nobody's even close type
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: of thing. Nobody even in the conversation.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: It's crazy.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: It's crazy one that Cal Ray has even brought himself
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: up to this level.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, but no nobody else. I mean, I'm looking
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: at the American League teams. Wilson, No, there is a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: clear questions. Now he just got hurt. Jeremy Payne, Oh,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: incredible season.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Now he just got hurt.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: He's not even in the conversation as good of a
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: year as he's having.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: No, those two are a step ahead by far.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: It's good debate, though. Anyone that's out there, it's like,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: it's not close.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: It's full of.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Come on, it's close.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: What do you mean it's not close?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: People are saying that a lot of people are just
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: already won the award.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I'm like, WHOA A lot.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Of people are saying it's not close. It's ridiculous and
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: now appointing to that.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: You know a few of the the slash line stats
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and then stop him there.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they look at the slash line, but then they
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: forget cal a catcher. He's a catcher, and he catches
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: every day. It's not like he takes days off. He
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: catches six out of seven games and then the other
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: game DHS or pinch.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: It's every game more important position catcher or right field.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Stop right field and Yankee Stadium where it's like two
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five feet.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Right, and he's a very good He's a very good thrower,
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: catcher of the ball. It's not even close. It might
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: be the best right fielder defensively in the game, just
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: as far as like range and.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I'll take a breaki. He has to cover Fenway.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean he gotta be a center fielder
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: to play in right field.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's an upper echelons defensive pretty good. Yes, Kyle
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Tucker's crazy good in right let's show this tweet from
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Buster only Trek Scuble and the Tigers created a huge
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: rating Sunday night two million, with a peak of two
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: point three miles sending a. Baseball ratings are up eleven
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: percent over last season. It's good when you see the
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Tigers on that march.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It's also the fact that Schooble was pitching fine, crushed.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: It doesn't that play to the back. We need more.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: That's why I said when it was MS versus Schemes,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: that should have been a national game on one of
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the channels. And here's the other thing. Good job. ESPN
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ratings a double percent. By the way, you're done, get out.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: That's what are you doing.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You gave it up and you wont ned to give
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: it up. But they want the NBA. They have the NBA.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: It's ratings just keep going down and MLB's ratings keep
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: going up. Someone there chose poorly.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should interview someone at some point about it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Only we knew somebody that used to work there.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I think times like these are a message to MLB
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: that they need to figure out a way to incentivize
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: teams that are developing starters who go deep into games
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: and become marquee names.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: In the sport, but after trying to get trying to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: get back in. Yeah, at probably a cheaper rate. Obviously.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: It's like a classic high school relationship, like they're breaking up,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: they're back together, they're breaking up, they're back together.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Just kidding. No, I really do love you. I can't
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: live without you.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: We're going to take you through the latest card that
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I pulled in my arena club slam pack Aja, And
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: here it is. I pulled a Jared Jones card. So
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Jared Jones is going to be out for minute, but
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna hold on to this one for the long term.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: He was nasty in his rookie season.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Agreed, this is a great card to pull. It's gonna
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: go up in value once he comes back because this
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: guy dealt in his rookie season, gets punch outs, he
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: gives the innings once he's back. Scott, you're in it
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: for the long term. Don't give up on Jared Jones
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: or this card you got from Arina Club.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Yep, there it is. That's how you pull a slab
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: pack card. It's very cool. It's all fancy and digital.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: You can get it sent to you physically and if
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: you want to sell it right back to Arena Club.
• 25:30

• 25:33
  Speaker 3: or you can hold it right now. You can get
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Just go to Arena club dot com. Slash foul, use
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: code foul. We've been talking about Arena Club all season
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: long because they dominate the hobby.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: If you buy, sell, trade, collect.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Go for it all right, Let's dissect other power rankings,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: not ours.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: We did ours recently.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: I gotta change one.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Well, that is how it works.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Rodgers are still one, So still one. You had the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Mets is won before. I have never had the Mets
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: at anything. I had Dodgers at number one. Check all
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the power rankings. Dodgers are not going to be No.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Number One until they little too above the Phillies that
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: you did.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe do you know where the athletic put the Mets
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: twentieth seven.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you lose thirteen out of sixteen and fifteen
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: out of eighteen, my power or whatever, it look a
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: little better. I got a little roasted before because the
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Phillies had lost some games.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I'll take it, though, I'll take it well.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: When you do power rankings, you're not doing it for
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the long term, you're doing it for that. It's exactly so.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: At the time, the Mets were better than the Phillies.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Oh and now things have changed. So the Athletic came
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: out with some words to describe certain teams. So being
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: that you brought up the Mets, the word for them
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: was roller coaster, since they had been on a heater
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: fifteen of eighteen at one point, and then now.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Finishing up June, they lost thirteen of sixteen.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Fifteen eighteen to thirteen of sixteen.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Roller I'll give you one. They have the Giants at
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: nine and they said super weird.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: I agree. I'm like they've got Ever since they.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Got divors, they can't hit. They lost, they swept by
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the Martins and lost two out three to the White Sox.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: That's bad.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: And they lost last night to the Diamond Back.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Were they not as good as we thought they were.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: But ever since they got divors, they can't hit. They
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: couldn't before now they really can't. But now they really can't.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: They're better. They're good because they pitch. I really felt
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: like even when the last time we did the Power
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: rankings after six or seven teams, it kind of just
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: feels like teams with big, gaping holes that they have
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: to fill. I mean, I had I had the Padres
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: in that in that yeah, but what are you gonna.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: They had to start in Matt Waldron last night?
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Serviceable, But if you're talking about a team that's gonna
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: make a deep October run, you would.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Rather have the Giants pitching staff.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I get it, they can be up and down Robbie
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Ray is, but if you look at the numbers, you
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: have an ace in logan web and then you have
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: other guys that can fill in through it throughout that time.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: And I just think, I just think there's a wide
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: gap after that six or seventh team in baseball right now.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: And so I mean, I guess it's good that we
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: have the expanded wild card because those teams can get in.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I think the most underrated of all of these, and
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they should be higher than this.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: The Rays, Well, the Rays have done with who who
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: have they done it with?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Random? Kevin Narrow? Yep, that's who it is.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Jonathan Rondas should be starting in the All Star Game.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: That's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. I get it,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: especially when he hit what do you hit a four
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy foot homer the other day.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: He's just been incredible offensively.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Three point fifty the whole season. He's got ten nine
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: or ten pumps like but out of nowhere, out of nowhere,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: and the Rays are still there. Who's who's less surprising
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: that they're winning? The Astros or the race? Astros? Have
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: you seen the Astros lineup.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Right with who you're saying more surprising?
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're saying more surprising.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Astros are more surprising than the race.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: The Rays. Listen when the race starters are healthy and
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: even their lineup listen, you can camin Narow, Diaz. They
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: have some dudes that have done it, Jansen, you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: some guys are in law low and right field. I mean,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: they have some guys that have kind of done some things.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: But you look at the Astros lineup. Al t is
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: not hitting. He started hitting in June, but no Alvarez
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: well now no painya, Tucker's gone. Diaz isn't hitting like
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: he did last year. Jake Myers is hitting unbelievably well.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It's like trust you go look at the Astros lineup
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: and you say, how how are they doing this? Again?
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: I did know I had them on Saturday. First question,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I look, Joe spot right in the camp right here
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: for me to the right here, Joe, how are you
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: guys this far in first place? And he just laughed
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: right in my face and I go wow, and he goes,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: because we can pitch, which it can. Hunter Brown fromber
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: has been unbelievable for this last month. Right eighth and
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: ninth is Locke. Colton Gordon has been really good for him.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: All their starters have been incredible. And then you go, yeah,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: hater and the brave you have been them. But the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: other guys Oker, Susa, some of these other guys that
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: no one's ever heard of, have been unbelievable. That that's
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the thing I think. If you would if you would
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: have looked at the standings right now, if beginning here
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: into the Astros would have a six game lead, nine
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: and a half over the Rangers, you would have ten
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: and they lost one, you'd have said, there's no way,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: there's no way. What they've lost the last few years.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Here they are once again, we guess we'll never know.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know Bregman, I would have changed what that's said.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: What did it say?
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: What's their dominance, June dominance, it says June Trent. I
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: would have said trust. I would have said this Astros
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: organization US, Dana Brown trusts what they've built. They they
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: got rid of Tucker. I think they got rid of
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: Tucker because they were like, well, we're not paying Juan
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Soto type of money to this guy, and he's gonna
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: get four hundred, so we're getting value. They trusted that
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: east Op Baratis was gonna do what he's gonna do.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Biggest thing. Do you remember what Cam Smith started out hitting?
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Not well?
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Do you know what he's at now?
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Very good?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Seven seventy seven ops. He was in college lush year
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: in the College World Series.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: College World Series. You think you think that's you think
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: that's just Dana Brown going hmmm, he's a pretty good player.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Look at his spring training stats like this. They trusted
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: what this guy did and trusted his makeup because when
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: we went to Houston spring training they talked about that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I get it, Cam Smith isn't the guy that's carrying
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: this team, but it's the idea that we trust you
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: as a player, that means so much more to a
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: player that already has elite skills, and now look what
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: they're getting. This guy could be at an eight hundreds
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: by by the All Star break, and he was in
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: the College World Series last year.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: Dana Brown is one of the best evaluators of talent
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: in baseball for a long time.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: This is why the astros I mean lun now and
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: who's the guy next to GM? They got James Click
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and they won a World Series, fired him running.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Dana Brown all super different too. All three of them
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: are very different.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, Dana Brown and Jeff lunar about as far
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: ends of the spectrums you could ever get ones a scout.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: The other one is all analytics heavy, dah D whatever.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: But they've all worked. That's what's crazy. The question is,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: is I guess what's the common thread there at The
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: common theme is the owner is the only Jim Crane
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: is the only common thread theme And this whole thing
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: is is Jim Crane is the guy. So what is
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Jim Crane doing? No one else is doing.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: My interaction with Jim Crane obviously people are going to
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: say he should have been more at fault for things.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: All this stuff he shouldn't have fired certain whatever. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: don't think he should have fired a j Hinch. You
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: know I had to.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: I'm a big Age Hinch fan, so that's my bias.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: But my thing is Jim Crane. When I was there,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: I was there for six weeks. He was integral in
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: telling some of those young guys how he wanted them
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: to act as.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: A representative from their organization.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: He would sit those guys down and go, I want
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: you to sign autographs. I want you to I want
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: you to be somebody that's forward facing for the organization.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: People will be like, Okay, well that's going to make
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: you money. If your superstars are out there for facing, like,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: maybe you should pay them more if you're going to
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: do that. He is involved in those things, but I
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: never saw him overstepping into the baseball like I remember
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: him talking. Remember Dallas Kichel had that perfectly manicured beard.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: He's like, none of my other businesses, would anybody ever
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: have a beard like that? He's like, but I kind
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: of like yours, Dallas. He wasn't like, I think you
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: start throwing more change because that area of struggle a
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: little bit. I think you should go back to throwing
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: more change ups and the breaking ball below the zone.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: I never heard him, and I think he was in
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the He was in the clubhouse more than.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: I'd ever seen any owners, But I never saw him
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: talk about baseball.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Let me just bring up a counter or some clarity
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: for fans. I don't think during the season he's going
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: up to a guy trying to tell him anything. But
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I have heard he is super involved on moves, but
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: he knows ball, just like John Middleton knows ball.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: There are some owners, most of them.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Are supers, yeah, but most of them are super involved,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: but there are a few that really know ball. And yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: he's not making the decision on optioning so and though
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: you know it's not the little stuff, but I mean
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: every owner's involved in the big moves, the free agent signings,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: the trades.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: He's good at making decisions like that.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: Everyone makes their mistakes, right, they signed a bray you
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: that didn't work out. But he's had a lot of hits,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: but he wants to win and he put the right
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: guys in place. Dandon Brown's doing a great job. Dana
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: Brown is doing an awesome job with that team as
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: the GM right.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the two owners that you brought up.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: In my opinion, I feel like they just both want
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: to win, whether they know ball or not, how what level.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: They're making decisions.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Even if you say they want to win, Okay, well,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: I have this much to spend on a player, which one,
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: and they're part of the decision making process.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: They're making the right call more often than not.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: You wants to win, but they don't win.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Right, So he's not making the right call as much
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: as those guys.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: AJ.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Let's show this all the Gonzales tweet first, just to
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: show the parody. It's July first, and all but nine
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: teams are within four games of a playoff spot. The
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: nine teams Royals, Orioles, Braves, mar A's Pirates, Nationals, White Sox, Rockies.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: Which which are those are the most surprising? Oh, come on,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Braves are probably the most surprising. Or
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: not right, Braves, Orioles, Royals are the.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: Three, Orioles are the most surprising over the Braves. No,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: you're right, Braves, Braves are the most surprising, then Orioles,
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: then Royals Oriols has just been going on for the
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: whole season, Yeah, Braves is.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: They's been going they started owing to seven scot that's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: not the whole season.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: The Braves and the Marlins are a half game apart.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: That is wild.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: We're halfway through the season and those two teams are
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: in the same spot. I think that says a lot.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: But anyway, the rest of the teams obviously are all
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: in the mix. Even someway they're like, I don't know
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: if they're that good.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I was watching the Pirates game. It was
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: on yesterday, and they were like, since Don Kelly took
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: over there like fifteen and fifteen or something, they're doing
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: so much better.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: When you're setting that as your bar or.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Chuck Garfine tweeted about the White Sox. They won twenty
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: eight games. The didn't won twenty eight games August first
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: last year. They also had the all time record for
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the most amount of losses last year. That's what you're
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: comparing it to. They're never going to be that bad again.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: Well, inside edge data dish stat Luisa Rice Man of
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the Hour, he's missed on five percent of swings over
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the last fourteen days, best in baseball.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Only fourteen days.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: They were just doing a shorter sample.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: At one point, he had we were into June and
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: he had twenty twenty swings and misses on the year,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: so five percent it might be up for him.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: True, I don't know what it is on the season.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, this guy gets hits. He's down a
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: little bit this year, but he gets a lot of hits.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: And we tell and you know, the funny part is
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Crafts earlier brought up judges batting average. Well, how many
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: times we heard from analytical people batting average doesn't matter.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: It matters if you can get hits. I'm sorry it
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: just see Luisa Rise missed on four percent, so he's
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: actually worse.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Here's my thing.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: In the last two weeks while we're doing that, it
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: should be like this whole season, he's only swung and
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: miss four percent.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to our inside staff. Yeah, the scenes, Well, no,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: we do. We often do this thing, I know.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: But it's just funny that's actually gone up at five percent.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: He's off his game.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's hitting like what to eighty ish.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Which actually surprisingly is kind of low for him battel
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: three years in a row.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: My thing with him is the variety that he brings
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: to a lineup.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I get it where some teams are like yeah, we
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: can't have nine of those with no pop and he's not.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: A good defender. What I'm like, you should have one?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Oh, guy, that's a pest.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of minutes of bonus time and then
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: we're gonna go play poker.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Tucker Barnhardt to be the CAP just retired.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Congratulations, two time goal Glover, two time goal Glover.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: This twenty twenty count people I talked to said twenty
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: twenty Award shouldn't go because he played thirty eight games
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: a year, so did everybody else.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: We should bring him on and ask him.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's great, he got to go golos. It's awesome.
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is like people will say, oh
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: that you talk to people like Cosey, you want to
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: MVP that year?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Ready too? Right? Didn't Freddy win that?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's two first.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Basement sixty games or whatever it was. I don't like
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: we talked about the first half. Aaron Judge would be
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: your first sixty game and we had to.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Do half of it with a mask on, so I
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: think it gets extra doubles. It's ninety games, plus you
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: had to sit out and sit and wait.
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, baseball could have come back so much sooner, but
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: we don't have time for that.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Crafts AT's on the way out.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: I thought about where my Marlin's hat and the ground
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: backs hat starts on it.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I figured i'd where. I just like the color. That's it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: But I forget where Marlin's hat because fishing.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I like it and good luck.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: We're playing in the Poker Championships over at Aria.
• 39:55
