• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Efty.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe Happy Friday, everybody. Bron Toddfather crats beer with you.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Are you surprised that the race is picked up again?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Did you see this coming? No?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I didn't, but I'm I'm happily surprised because this is
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: good for baseball and man, the Mets have fallen, Mariners,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: some Astros are falling a little bit. This is uh
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: pretty and it's exciting, you know. You hate to say,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: like if you're a fan of those teams, you're like, oh, shoot,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: here we go. The Reds are in it, the Giants
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: are in it. It's gonna be interesting because you see
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: some of these last sixteen seventeen games, whatever it is.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Some of the Mets they have a goallet Yankees they
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: have some good teams that they should be you know,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: like Giants are always there, Dodgers, like what is going on?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: This is great. It's great for baseball, I.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Think for the Yankees. The gauntlet finishes up soon and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: then it gets kind of easy for you.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the last thirteen, it's gonna hit all under five hundred, Orioles, Twins,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: White Sox. Oh they go eleven and two, ten and three.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Blue Jay's gonna have to keep pace. A little bit, Yeah, exactly.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: The craziest one is for teams that are in the
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: playoff picture for the entire year and then fall off
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago and you just hit the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: momentum rut at the wrong time.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what's it like?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Have you been through one of those situations where the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: losses start piling up at a really bad time and you're.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Like, jeez, oh man, I'm trying to remember. I've only
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs three times, okay, and we won a
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: division with the Reds. We snuck in a wild card
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: against the Pirates. Was it only two times? No?
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yanks? Oh?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: And the Yankees in seventeen? Excuse me?
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Did you guys saw the division that year?
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We did? We won the division. I came in later,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it was I've never I don't think I've
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: been a part where it fizzled. I've been a part
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: where we gained ground. Like when I was with the Mets,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we were down like eight or nine, and then we
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: got it to like a game or half a game.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I hit the home run off Doolittle, and after that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: game we couldn't really find a way to get to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the wild card. But yeah, it's teams are like scoreboard watching.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, let's just be honest with you. I like
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to scoreboard watch. I don't give a crap who's playing
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and whatever it is. And if they say they don't,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, my mind's directly here. We're not doing anything. Well,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: guess what, you better start looking because somebody's behind you.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And scoreboard watching directly impacts the decision making, especially
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in the last week week and a half, because how
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: much do you have to push with your starter's.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Decision player wise, and you're starting pitching and you're starting rotation.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: You gotta line it up like it's the playoffs.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And if your bullpen's not working, well lookout.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: You know, we look at the Yankees right now. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: like they got to start figuring that out here too,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: so we'll see what happens. They got a couple of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: young pitchers that you know, hopefully can go fail with
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Will Warren and Camp Schletter, they're pretty good ball players.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's gonna be that instance
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: where they only go two or three innings, Like here
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we go, who's gonna step up? Yep?
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Exactly, all right, let's charge the damn mounds.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Charging about all right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So let's start Todd Father with the Seattle Mariners, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we're working on a mic for krat.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: So we'll get the looks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Fantastic, though I put him in the corner here and yeah,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: this is your dream, actually putting him in time out. Yes,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: that's exactly We've been doing this for two and a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: half years. You finally get to put your stepbrother.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: In time out.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, don't say anything.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: You can say whatever you want to him, you can't
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: say it back exactly, all right. So tell me about
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the Mariners and your thoughts on this team. So rookie
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Harry Ford gets it done with the walkoff sack fly
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that'll walk off the night before with Leo.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Rebas with a home run.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: The big boy names, of course, are Julio Rodriguez and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the whole starting rotation, the pickups like Josh Naylor, who's
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: been an important piece. Suarez hasn't kept the power going,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: but the glove's been good for them.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Thoughts on this team.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: This guy's a limit. I mean, we've always talked to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: them about their pitching, how good they are. With Gilbert
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and Wu and all those guys. They are going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: ride that pitching staff until they get rid of these guys,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and I think that's the case. They picked up my
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: mean man, Jean Suarez. He was pretty darn good Rosarina.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: They got guys that can play. They've won seventeen out
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: of the last twenty, which is unbelievable, and they are
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: right there against this Astro team. I don't see from
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: watching the Astros play. He's last like six to eight games, like, yeah,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: they're good, but nothing, you know, Alvarez is awesome, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: nothing after that, like kind of just like, okay, they're good.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: You know, hater's hurt, Like they got guys that they're missing.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: The fran Ervaldez thing and I couldn't, you know, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: thank god I wasn't on this this time when he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: did that whole thing. But you know, for the most part,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I could see the Mariners taking this division, and I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: could see him taking it by three or four games
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: as they go moving forward here.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, and by the way, just to make sure no
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: one goes after you, they've won seventeen of twenty at all.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Oh excuse me, they've won six in a row overall.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm meant. Either, that's still a good stime.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: It is they were a mess on the road though.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what was talked about a lot was a difficult
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: schedule for a team that travels more than any other
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: team in baseball, and the fact that they had two
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: super extensive road trips down the stretch of the season.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Now they come back, they look much more normal god Fathers.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So they're tied for first place in the American League
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: West over the Astros. Astros were shut down and shut
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: out by Kevin Gossay yesterday.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: That game was sell slice over two hours.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all around, great winning for the Blue Jays, but
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you're right for the Astros.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: You're anounced back. That's great.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: They've still had a lot of quiet moments on offense.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's like agree in every other game
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: kind of situation. Are their offense disappears.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: You can't have that when the bullet, No, you can't.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And even if the pitching does well, you know, it's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: like one nutt in game two to one, and you're
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: like waiting for something bad to happen because they can't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: do it. You know, some guy. They can't do it
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: all nine innings. I mean, it happens, don't get me wrong,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but there's that one inning where a guy gets on
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: a little blooper. You know, guy makes an air all
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's first and second, you're the game's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: one nutting, you're tied one to one. You're sitting there like, hmm,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: what is going to go wrong here? And you know
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you need those guys to step up. They need to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: win those games. You know, they can't be playing the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Angels in twelve innings you know, all the time and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: finding a way to win those games. But again, they're
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: sneaky good. It's a matter of putting everything together. They
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: can pitch, and the pitching should get them there.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And also one note out of Jude, who covers the team,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: pointed out that these two teams have split their first
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: ten matchups, so they're meeting up next weekend in Houston,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and whoever wins that season series gets another game. Essentially,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: if it's close enough, right, if they finished tied, you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: want to say something mean to your step brother and
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: see if it works.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Now we are who we thought they were.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: Who talk more? Let's see let's see what you now?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Still not on there? This is great, It doesn't matter. Hey,
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: that weekend series is going to be incredible. That's going
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: to be like a playoff series, and it's in Houston, you.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Said, in Houston. Okay, yeah, all right, let's see what
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the Mariners are made if they need to be in
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: these situation. They find a way to get two out
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of three there and all of a sudden they you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: go ahead, and where they're at, it's only going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: boast better for them.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Yep, I'm with you, so al West.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Right now, you've got Houston, Seattle, even Texas two games
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: back of the division and then Texas two games back
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: of a wildcard seat as well, because that's Houston and Seattle.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Right Look as the division one has the wildcards.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Right now, these guys are coming into the ballpark, even
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: if they're one game or three games out, they still
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: are like, all right, hey boys, let's go. Let's go,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: you know, kicking the rear end, like hey, it's go time,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: let's go. Don't take these guys lightly, Let's get after it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Find a way to win. You win. Then you go
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in the locker room and say, all right, who's winning,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: who's losing. This is what the best part of baseball is.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. When you're a ballplayer,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you go to travel ball tournaments. Kratzy knows us all
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: too well. All right, we're on the fringe there, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: hopefully this guy gets another run. It's sad to say,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: but you're like looking at other teams hoping you can
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: get in that playoff run on the weekend.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's the American League West for you with Houston,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Seattle and Texas two games back in the lost column.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: There.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Wow, this is uh. Don't forget about those Rangers, bro.
• 8:11

  Speaker 3: anything else. But it's okay. You guys can hear me.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I don't need to hear anything. I can definitely hear.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: We are back, baby, oh baby, wait the Mariner is
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: still time for first place? This or that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Top into the show. It was great when he was quiet.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I definitely bought a little bit.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: But really, Willy, what do you have to say about that?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Do you want Eric to talk more? Oh? Yeah, yeah,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: how about see too?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Sobby, we're sitting rats, and then we're gonna talk Dodgers.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: But any thoughts what we talked about.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Earlier, you guys hit it all, yes, hit it all. Well,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we had some big dogs, we had some beasts. We
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: had Todd telling everybody what was going on? Bro, what's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: going What do you like? Better?
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Astros are Mariners?
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Mariners? I think Mariners are more a complete team. But
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: why would you ever pick against the Astros because they
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: always prove to you that you shouldn't pick against them. So,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: based on how my picks have been this year, go Mariners, Astros.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: There you go Todd's. Todds followed my picks. Tod's followed
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: my picks.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I think they're more complete, but not by as much
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: as we thick.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: If they don't make it, if they don't make the playoffs,
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: well they don't win the division. Alex Bragman should get
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: even larger of a paycheck because what he brings to
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: the to the squad just saying wins and nothing changed,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: winners win. Yeah, and they're still super competitive. But let's
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: see if they can finish straw like they usually do.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, better than box scores.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I feel like the Mets and Phillies have met up
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: eighty times in the past past few weeks, but instead
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of going live to our reporter on a scene, he
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: is with us in person to share the latest on
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the Mets and the Phillies.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: What do you have for us, mister Kratz.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: They did it. They did the exact opposite of what
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: happened when they were in cityfield. I don't understand how
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: a team can besides the fact that the starting rotation
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: turned in four absolute gems, the Phillies like they went
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: into city field and it was everybody's paniced can't win
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: in city field. There's no chance. It was like nine
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: or ten straight that they've lost in city field. So
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: nothing that the Phillies need to do more than figure
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: out how to never play in the city field this postseason,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: and they may not even need to play the Mets.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: The Mets have a lot of work to do to
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: finish out this season and make sure they make the playoffs.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to, but I don't know. I
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: don't know the disparaging marks of home field advantage for
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: the Philly in the last I'm gonna say the last
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: two seasons, but it might even be more than that.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It's like they're one hundred and forty six or something,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: or one hundred and one now and forty six in
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: their last fifty one hundred and fifty some games, like
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the two seasons, it's ridiculous, including the postseason. And they
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: took it to the Mets. They made the Mets. They
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: even gave the Mets a chance in the first inning.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: They came out swinging, and the Mets were like, Yeah,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: we're gonna take this, We're gonna take this job. Hazus
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Lozarna's out there in the seventh inning punching tickets, dialing
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: it up to ninety nine to finish out the game.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Like if you have to face those three lefties in
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: a playoff series right now, I get it, there's still
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: two weeks to go. I don't I don't understand. I
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: don't understand how you can beat them because they're not
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: touching Lozardo or Rangers Suarez in in there in their history.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: You know, against those guys, the matchup does not favor
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: the Mets, but they could go to City Field and
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: sweep him out of the bomb.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Texas Ranger Suarez is absolutely filthy, filthy.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Set himself up for a nice free agency.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: What Lozardo did yesterday. If they're giving up four runs
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: in the first inning, absolutely incredible. That's a feat. You know,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: forget about the Mets, they do that all the time.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: This is something to be proud of. Man, he goes
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: to show you going into the seventh inning, like, what
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: is going on? You gave up four runs in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: first inning.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: I give credit to Caroo Cootham, their pitching coach, jt. Realmuto,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: and obviously Hazus Lozardo. They had a game plan of
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: attacking him, attacking the Mets early, and they ended up
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: sticking to that game plan, and the Mets abandoned their
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: game plan. They stopped swinging. He kept getting ahead. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: think at one point it was like nineteen of the
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: twenty two batters he faced, he got first pitch strike
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: first inning. They were just out there swinging and it
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: was it was wild. It was a wild change of
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: wild change of the you know, game plan for the Mets.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: This is from OPTA stats. The Mets are the only
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: major league team in the modern are to score four
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: plus runs in the first inning but have nobody reached
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: base the rest of the game and end up losing
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: eight any perfect game. That's crazy. It might even been
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: more than that because they scored the four and I
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: think they're still only one out right, So whatever it is,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: play two thirds, like that's incredible, and that is not
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: that it's a demoralizing loss. I think sometimes the walk
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: offs are demoralizing losses. It is a demoralizing series. They
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: came in and they're like, if we get all four,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: just like we did in City Field, we're in striking distance.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Screw the Reds, they're not getting us. Screw the Giants,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: they're not getting us. Now, the Poems are a little sweaty.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: They get to go home, but they get to face
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: a hot Rangers team and Jacob to Grom's thrown first
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: game like you want like a like can we get
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: a spot starter? Can we get like a triple A
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: call up?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: And and even insult to injury. Walker Buller is pitching
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the first game for the Mets this series against the Royals.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: The Mets are like, why couldn't we have faced Walker
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Buele for the Phillies against I'm sorry for the Phillies
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: against the Royals. Like they're like, hey, we had we
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: had nothing. They were just suffocated that lineup.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: And listen after the game. They're not flying home, They're
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: they're in that traffic going up the turnpike. I mean
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it's a three hour drive home?
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Was that the worst? Was that the worst? Big League
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: travel Philly to New York, Philly to the Mets.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I would go home bus. Yes, I would drive home home,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: like to my house and right here, so that would
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I never took that bus, right so I would go
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: home like you get a nimber hopped to the ball
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: now my family member, my wife were, my dad, whoever
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: it is from Philly, from Philly to tom Driver and
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: then I would just drive to the ballpark after that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So I'd never taken that Philly to to Queens before
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: ever it is.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: I mean you're going you're going to Midtown like you're
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: going to.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Manhattan, Like that could be a three hour drive when
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: he usually takes an hour and twenty five minutes.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: What if? What if you just got swept in a
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: four game series? How long is that and you're sitting
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: you going like this and you're sitting you're sitting on
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: the on the whatever, you know, the to Cony Palmyra Bridge,
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and you're like on this bus. A lot of the
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: big dogs in Philly. They would they would helicopter. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: remember Cliff Lee Cole Hamil's papal bond. They would Almo
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: get a helicopter. Like I'm in the big leagues, I
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: am not riding a coach bus two seater coach bus.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Because we would always take the train down to the
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: Nats and I think that's the biggest big league travel.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: That's cool, way more than a charter jet. I would
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: love it. And then and then the bus up to
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: New York and I'm just like, not back to the
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: bushes tough.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got space, you're not crammed. But at
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the same time, you just if you win, it's like, oh,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: let's play some cards.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely but a seed around the thing.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Is I mean, this is if the Sari that ended
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: up a split, the Mets are in such a different place.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: The Phillies could have just played a part.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: In ending the season for the Mets. That's how close
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: they kept it. If you're a Philly fan, in addition
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: to not liking the Mets, you would much rather play
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: the Reds or the Giants. Correct, I don't even think
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: it's close.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: It's not even much.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Rather play the Reds or the Giants. If you're the Phillies,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: so you played a part in making it a little
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: nerve wracking.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: For the Mets.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Over the next two and a half weeks, our buddies
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: over at the Mets Up Show, they do a lot
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: of misery tweeting games and mark they said, the Mets
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: have lost all of these games since the start of August.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Pain never ended. Now, if you're listening to the podcast,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: basically what you need to know is that they're showing
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: you a lot of scenarios where you would think, oh,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the Mets won that game, right, and then they didn't.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: This is this is indicative of the way that they
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: built their pitching roster. In my opinion, I got roasted
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: for saying it early on. Many of us did, because
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: their starting rotation was nails. And I even kind of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: retracted when I said the beginning of the season, I'm like,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: mayn David Stern's doing it. Now. The pressure cooker has
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: put them in a spot where they can't kind of
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: glide into the postseason. They have to run these horses
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: all the way through. They did no bigger series than
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: this weekend. They're going back to City Field. There they're nails.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: They're nails at City Field. But the Rangers are coming in.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: They're they're blowing out their pen. Everybody that they have
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: is going all three games. This is a huge series
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: for them.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Oops, go ahead next, Yeah, that's the game I want
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: to watch.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Oh I don't. I mean, I get it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: Versus tongue that's good. I think they seen tongue pitch yet.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: But it is a fun watch.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: First of all, he looks like he's twelve, and I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: can say that because you know I was twelve until
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I was thirty.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Let's so you could grow a beard.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and his delivery school. It's got some lids to
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: come in it love. Yeah, you'll like it.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Ftfam, Let's talk about fair Harbor. And if you're listening,
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: I hope that you watch this conversation at some point
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: because we're doing show and Telcrats shorts they can be
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: used as a bathing suit, and the liner, which we
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: call butter, is the game breaker. It's the playmaker because
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: it's different.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: You've worn shorts that are not like this, and the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: liner sucks. They are buttery on your butt.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: I just came up with something for them. Your liner sucks.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Get fair Harbor Liner. Seriously, give it a shot. I'm
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: not just saying this. The butter analogy plays an ftfam.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: You know we're hooking you up. So head over to
• 19:49

• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, we have a little GM search going on in
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the Orioles right now. Mark Finestan saying, according to a source,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: the Orioles indeed at interest in White Sox assistant GM
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Josh Barfield for a potential front office role. But Josh said, no,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: you would like to stay in Chicago.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe it's because the White Sox are hot nine and
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: two in their last eleven. He sees, he sees what
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: they have there. I mean, I'm not like col It
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: probably just wasn't a better wasn't a better fit. But
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I know Barfield personally, we played together. This dude is
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: a He's just he's one of those guys that holds
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: the like he commands a room quietly, and I think
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: if he wants to stay somewhere and enjoys what he's doing,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: why leave? Why leave?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: He's planted a home down here. I'm gonna take you
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: next level on this.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: You could be.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Looking at the situation going, Okay, the White Sox already
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: did their scrap it down, rebuild our five year plus plan.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: We're getting better.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: We got better from last year to this year. So terrible,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: but we're getting better. So I'm riding this wave this
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: way with the Orioles. It could recover or it could
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: get ugly, And if it does get ugly, I could
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: actually be out of a.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Job pretty quickly.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: There.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Think about it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, now we learn that next year, even if
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: the Orioles fall apart again, probably going to roll with
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Michael Lace again.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: But if you have two years of that, I mean,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: how much can you do?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: The place will be the fan base will be up
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: in flames, or if they have, you know, another sinking
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: ship like they did.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Last year, for the next couple of seasons.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: It's a good job. Who has a shot of winning
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: a World.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: Series first Orioles, for sure.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: We just talked about this yesterday. You have to want
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: if you're in that position, you have to want to
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: go to a place that has a chance of winning
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: a World Series.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but White Sox are catching up to where.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Baltimore because Jerry's going to start spending.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: Jerry's going to leap soon. Injuries suck powered by Arena Club.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Arena Club's gonna make us feel better because they're going
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to show us cards of these players when they were healthy.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: And many of these players should be back in the
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: fold for contenders. So I'll list a bunch of them,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: and you also see the list on paper here. There
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: was an article from Chad Jennings talking about how many
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: players have been placed on the injured list since September one.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: The list is loaded with major names that are on
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: playoff contenders, Kyle Tucker, bobas Sheet. I'm not going to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: name all of them, but I'm just giving you an
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: example of a few that stand out. Trey Turner, Sander Bogarts.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: From anything I just mentioned or any others that I'm
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: missing that could be back soon, which one stands out
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: to you as a guy who could make a major
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: impact upon his return to the team, whether it's a
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: team needing him down the stretch to make the playoffs
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: or really in the postseason looking at that player, being
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: like he needs to be back for this team to
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: make any noise. I haven't won in my head, but
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: I think one of you is going to take it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So couldn't get tough first.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna tell you it is in the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: al least.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, sorry with a bow and then with the shet
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: you got.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, I was scrolling down there, I'm looking at the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, Corey Seger came into my mind too as well,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: so that's I want to be that guy's absolutely filthy
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. As you guys know, Bob Baschett for
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: sure is the guy that you want on your playoff run.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: But I'll go to Corey Seeger after that. I mean,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Corey Seeger has been I mean dynamite, you know, with
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the big hits, with the championship runs. Uh. If the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Rangers want to be a part of this and go
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: a little further, that's the guy they're gonna need. He's
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a leader. And right behind him Marcus Simmy. I mean,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: both of those guys are a plus ball players. So
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: those two, in my opinion.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Kratz, I'm going to the West National League West, a
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: team that cannot score runs, has to prevent runs. Nester Cortes.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Nestor Cortes is way more important to his team than
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I think people understand only because who is starting. Who
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: is starting your three games for the Padres right now?
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: And you're gonna say maybe Michael King. Michael King, Absolutely,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: he's he pitched one game, he made one start, he
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: made one start. Somebody's not back at one start. Is
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: he better than Nesta Cortez per hundred percent? But this
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Padres team cannot score runs, so they have to have
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: as much run prevention as possible. Nester Cortez isn't going
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: to give you nine innings. I'm not saying that Nester
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Cortes is part of that rotation that is going to
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: in a four game series. That rotation has to give
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: you sixteen innings somehow.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, he just gave up back to back to back homers,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Like he's done that how many times? Now? Yeah, he's good,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: He's not to me. I I don't think that's the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: decided that's the biggest one in my opinion for.
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: The Padres or for you mean just on the list, well,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: you mentioned all of them. I couldn't take anybody else.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: You were like a secret Boba Shev Marcasimion.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: How about yeah, but we're starting playoff games. Who is
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: out of three for Padres?
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And yes, I get it. You gotta see more from
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: Michael King. King is starting. Nick Favetta is definitely starting
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: playoff games.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: He's been fantastic, Cesar Darbish, I mean, cease at the
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: right time.
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: H thanks, He's a one and he's he's a player.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: His stats would say he is a playoff mega mega
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: pick for them. Punch outs, his strikeouts for nine are huge.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: He's just not getting the innings. So that's your three starters.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: But Michael King isn't coming back on four to five days,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: rest right, Paveta may so Pavetta throws your first game.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: And I have a four for you.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I think Darvish is four before between that guy Randy
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Voskuez for five.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I forgot about for a few innings.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: No punch outs, no punch outs. I got at a
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: career high last night against the Roxies. But but now
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: we're talking about a five starter. Yeah, I think nestor healthy. Yeah,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: is better than what you darbish has been giving them
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the last three or four outings. That's a take in
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: my opinion.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm let's run.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: I'm going darbish one. Start to agree win my season
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: over between those two.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's let's be honest. Whoever's out there is
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: out there until they get a base runner, and then
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: they're going Mason Miller, Maury Hone, they're going Robert Suarez.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Like each of these dudes are giving them two innings
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: a piece. So now you're six innings down, right Like
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: in a game five, game seven, these guys arrested.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Get through a lineup, you get you get the five
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: inning zone. Man, that's with that bullpen. Oh my god, I.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Don't even think it needs to be five in a game,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: in a game seven, in an elimination game.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Hold up, I'm surprised that you didn't say, Kyle Tucker,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: where are the Cubs? And without prime Kyle Tucker, Now
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I gotta look.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's had some postseasons where he's not really there.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: So a lot of guys, man, I think, to be there.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: I just don't think the Cubs. I didn't choose Kyle
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Tucker because I don't think the Cubs are that good.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're built enough. I mean, shoot, what
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: do they have like a seven and a half game
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: lead in the wild Card. I just am afraid that
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: this team isn't as good as what isn't as good
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: as what that lineup was hitting. I mean, they're they're
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: just who's starting the three games for them? Who is
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: the who's getting the seventh or sixth, seventh, eighth inning
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: out of their bullpen? Is Polincia gonna come back? Like?
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: All that stuff is a lot of question marks for
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: this team. To me, I think the Padres are the
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: better team. I think the Padres are the better, better
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: than the Cups.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: How about Rokie Suzaki.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: No, not all.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: How about Trey Turner. I'm surprised you guys, Well.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I just think he's going to come back.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: You're going to come back, and I think they have
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: pieces to fill in seasons though where you're like, where's
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Trey at? I mean, it's the same with Kyle. I'm
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: looking back at numbers.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: For Kyle Tucker twenty twenty three postseason al ds, you know,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: five hundred isho ps. Same with the Alcs last year
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: in the AL wild Card. He didn't do anything his career.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: He's had a lot of postseason time already. Kyle Tucker
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty seven played appearances two twenty nine
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: to three nine three seventy six slash.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: I mean that's not good for a start.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: That's not good if if you're leading on and the
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Cubs are leading on that for a start. I don't
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: think the Phillies are leading on Trey Turner coming back,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: like the Cubs will be leading on Kyle Tucker. So
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Kyle Tucker would be more important. I think I think
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Edmundo Sosa fills in nicely. If you have a writing
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: on the mound, I think Stott fills it nicely. It
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: at short stop, yeah, I think Bo's the guy boa is.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: I think both by far the back.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: And looking like he's been this year, and I'm the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: contact part. I mean that's the identity for the Blue Jays,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and he's their shortstop. There's I mean, I know you
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: know Trey is too, but for Bow, I just think that, hey,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: this guy's probably gonna make contact. I think he's got
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: some clutch postseason moments in his future.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Here's the thing with Bo. When you're planning a scout
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: report and probably from now until we go to the playoffs,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this six more times. Yep, how do
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: you game plan big Lee pitchers as much as Todd
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: found out, throw strikes around the zone and bo is
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: not afraid of hitting a pitch this far off at
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: ninety five the other way? How do you tell Bigley pitcher,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I get it, you're nibbling. I need you to throw
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: it this far off and he'll still chase. They just
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: aren't programmed to do that. And I don't think I
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: just I think he's on a heater right now. I
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: think he is maybe the most integral part of any
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: team right now.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: That's in the playoffs, and it's the all fields with
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: the knocks, steaks.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Steaks win in the playoffs because stats, stats go out
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: the window. How many times in the postseason were you
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: pissed off at an zero for three when we won?
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Never?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Stats don't matter. Runs matter, get.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: It, runs matter, Wings matter?
• 30:16

• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Opponents have a first pitch chase rate of twenty three
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: percent against dagram this season. That's best in baseball among
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: starting pitchers qualified for this.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: They're trying to hit the heater.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say that, what it is, that's a
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: weird stat.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: I've never seen that.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: But listen, I like that stat though, too, because I
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: thought one of the things that he did really well
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: this year was throwing more strikes and not just trying
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: to overpower dudes early in the count. And that's why
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: he's gotten, you know, deeper into games and stuff like that,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and he stayed healthy. But that's a fun stat like
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: chase chase rate, not not swinging miss chase rate, which
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: is early on. Dude, you should not chase. But when
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: you're intimidated by a pictuer like the Grom, guys will chase.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Guys have to they have to get it going a
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: I could be totally off on this, but you know
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: how there are some guys where like you better get
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: him in the first pitch or too of the ab
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: or you're screwed with it. One of those where they're like,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I'm swinging early pretty much.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's any like elite level pitcher,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: like you gotta cause he's gonna get attack you early.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: But twenty three percent chase rate. That means he's not
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: thrown many Maybe like make my guy throw a strike
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: or something. The Mets might be listening, they're gonna take pictures.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: They abandoned their game plan after getting to Lozardo, who
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: was throwing a ton of first pitch strikes, and then
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: they're like, no way, he keeps doing it, and he
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: was just like strake, strike, strike, strike up the Graham tonight,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Let's let the guy. Let's let the guy get ahead
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: of us a little bit, and then it's going to
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: be sixteen punchouts.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Exactly, especially with the way that things are going for
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: them right now.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Oh the Mets are well, well.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: All right, let's slap. So we're looking quick at matchups
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: this weekend. I think we've talked a lot about Rangers
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Mets being one that stands out, especially tonight with de
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Gram against Jonah Tong. There are a lot of duds
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: this weekend. The Pirates Gnats, I mean, Royal's Philly's ish,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: but the Royals are kind of out now. Orioles Blue
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Jays like, yeah, the Blue just have to keep winning
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: some games to stay in front Yankee's Red Sox. Obviously
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be You got to playoff the teams heel
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: against Giulito tonight, Astros and Braves, just because the Astros
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: need to stay on track so that they don't start
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: falling into the wild card frenzy. There they've got Hirst
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: and Waldrup for the Braids, who's been freaking nails.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: But there.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there are a lot of DUTs, Diamondbacks.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Twins doesn't mean anything Cardinals Brewers essentially doesn't mean anything
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: at Brewers.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: You know, such a solid advantage, uh in the division,
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: in the Hope Field and the whole deal.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: So we got like two or three, which isn't bad
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: because then you can kind of focus. It almost is
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: like playoff mode where you can actually just really watch games.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: And for me, I'm not doing the whole flip around.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So which one you're watching?
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Gees, Yeah, he's also on Yes Network. I don't know
