• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and Aaron Hicks. Next segment, So Kratz, let's get into bis.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Let's cover the weekend, or at least begin covering the weekend.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Let's charge Let okay, former Yankee? What's going on in
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: the Bronx? The Red Sox are loving life right now
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: as the Yankees finally bit back on Sunday Night Baseball.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But the Red Sox took the first three games of
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the series at that point. Heading into Sunday, they had
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: won eight of nine against the Yankees this year. Their
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: neck and neck in a wildcard race that obviously they
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: both can end up with spots in since Toronto's ahead
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: of them. But are the Yankees okay? And also do
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: they have to start paying attention to what's behind them?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: In the Kansas City Royals getting close to a few
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: games back. Royle's playing the White Sox this week. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: know that the Yanks are playing the Nats, But where
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: are we at on this weekend? What did you learn?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I learned that the Yankees are okay, and not okay
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: in the sense that you said it. The Yankees are
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: just okay, Like it's really cool. It's like it's like
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: watching a fireworks show after a game and there's like
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: pauses in between the fireworks. You're like, is there, oh, no, nothing, Oh,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: there goes one. It's like they have to as a team.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying one individual is causing this. This is
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: an anthy Volpi's fault. This isn't Max Freed, who hasn't
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: been pitching as well as he did Before's fault. It's
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: not Devin Williams's fault, or Cashman or Boone. The whole team.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: The whole team needs to play better together. It doesn't
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: mean they're not together as a team. It just means
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: you need to play better together and you figure out
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: how to scratch out runs and keep runs off the board.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It sounds remedial, but it's something that you're seeing night
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: in a night out basis against the Red Sox. The
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Red Sox are like, screw it, we're gonna do it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: We're gonna put together good at bats. We're gonna also
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: hit the long ball, but we're gonna take the walks.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: We're not gonna give you as many as many extra
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: outs as we used to during the beginning of the season.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Red Sox still make airs and it's not all the Yankees'
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: fault for making all their or all the airs aren't
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the why they're losing too.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, charge your Mountain powered by
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: MLB nine in Ning's twenty five today. Uh Kratz. Sloppiness
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: from the Yanks has been a theme for two years now.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Of course, Yankee fans are watching this team getting after
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: certain players like Anthony Boltby. It sounds like he's gonna
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: sit or continue to sit. He said he's going to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: appear back in the starting lineup on Tuesday. So keeping
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: him out of the starting lineup is that more of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the Kyle Tucker treatment. Hey, let's give him a couple
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of days to re set, or is it a sign
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of things to come if he comes back still isn't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: doing much. They try and figure something else out because
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: it's been such a lost season for him.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what I said before. They got to figure
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: out a way to win. And guys who are not
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: hot at this time of year, when the Royals are
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: on their heels, you're not gonna play. It's not there's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: no there's probably I'm gonna say there's two guys on
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this whole roster that if they were to go through
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a major slide a slump, would continue to play and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it would be Max Freed is going to continue to pitch,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Aaron Judge is going to be continued to be in
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the lineup. But when Volpi's superpower, as Aaron Boone said,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it was his defense, and that's lacking a little bit.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: And then you go through a one for sixteen skid,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you need a breather. It doesn't mean Anthony Volpey's going
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: down to triple A. Doesn't mean he's cooked and he
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: should never play again. To me, and I might get
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: eviscerated by Yankee fans. This team is better with him
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: playing shortstop, but he has to play good shortstop to
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: be in the big games, and it's essentially a try
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: It might be one of his first tryouts that he's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: ever had in his life, because he's probably been better
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: than everybody else everywhere he's gone, and he's got a
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: month and a half. Cabriiro can play admirably, But you
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: want to big lead shortstop out there who's going to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: field the ball, and I think that's Anthony Volpi. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: he has to turn it around to get those at
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: bats and get those innings.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, but if he doesn't turn it around, Cabairo right, Yes, yes.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It's a tryout. I mean it has to be Cabairo.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: That's why I think that's why they got him. His versatility, Yes,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: but his ability to play.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Shortstop exactly gives you some insurance. They didn't really have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: that before this. There were times this year where you're like, hey,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he maybe should even get options and just get a reset,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like a full full and it just wasn't in the cards.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: For the most part. You really have somebody that should
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: be able to handle it. Sure that you want to say,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the defensive upside is not as high because Wolp he's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: been a goal glover or elite defender in the past.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: That's not him this year. So it's it's definitely spilled
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: into the mental components of his game. Let's focus on
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox. What do you have for us? On
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox? Kratz big statement weekend for them. They
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: bumped Bueller to the bullpen, by the way, but look
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: at the top three that they have and the starts
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that they're putting together right now. Of course, Crochet is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: battling it out for an al Cy Young bid. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: mean trek trek scouble again. But those two have very,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: very eerily similar numbers so far this year. Brian Bao
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: has really found it. Lucas Giolito's pitching well for them lately.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: That was the concern for me, for you, for almost
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: anybody that's following the game closely over the past year
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: or so. Are the Red Sox gonna have enough pitching
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: right now? They're answering the.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Bell they have enough start pitching. Maybe their bullpen is elite.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Their bullpen I did not think was built to be elite.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Their bullpen is I think second or third in Major
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: League Baseball in the RA right now. And I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: those two guys, Bayo and Crochet have done it long
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: enough to make it a consistent one to two combination.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Lucas Giulito might give you six in a playoff game,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: he might give you a quality three. And the way
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the playoffs are set up, this bullpen is set to
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: be able to get six outs for you in a
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: big game, in an elimination game that Gilito has to start.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Do they want to catch the Blue Jays? Absolutely, they
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: want to catch They want to get everybody lined up
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: in the play in their rotation to be able to throw,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: so that they have Crochet going first game, Bayo going
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: second game. And the thing for me is that's the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: kicker here is Bao BeO strikeouts are coming at times
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: when he needs strikeouts. He's always been that ground ball,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: sinker ball guy. Now he's able to win. He gets
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: in a little bit of traffic, he's able to go
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to the punch out, and he's not going for all,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: so his strikeout numbers are not going to be that elevated,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: but he's able to get the punch out when he
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: needs it in spots where he's gotten himself into a jam.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: So to me, I think that's playoff caliber starter, and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they're set up right now because their position player corps
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: just a bunch of young guys that are playing playing inspired,
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: exciting baseball. I think Trevor's story is I forget how
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: many it is, but he went twenty eighty and twenty
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: twenty homers, eighty army eyes, and twenty stolen bases. Talk
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: about a resurgence after beginning of his contract that he's
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: signed with the Red Sox was looking kind of shady injury.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Odd is he going to come back from it? He's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: not really there. He stepped up as one of the leaders,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: him and Bregman as the to only two veterans on
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: the position player corps.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Bregman has just been an awesome part of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the mix for this team too, making a lot of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the young guys feel comfortable. I mean, he's done that
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: for a long time. The Astros have been successful for
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: many reasons. Alex Bregman was a big part of that
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for a while, and I know people within the organization
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that he's making a major impact on daily basis, even
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: when he was hurt. They're seeing it and they're loving it. Okay,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: let's size up. After we look at a highlight here,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I want to size up where we're at with these
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: teams standings wise. We showed you for a moment, but
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Boston tolding the first wildcard seed, Yankees are a half
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: game behind them. I hadn't even in the lost column,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and the Mariners have been stumbling in the last couple
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: of weeks. Then you've got Kansas City three games out,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Texas four and a half, Cleveland five. I mean, we
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: have to stop from there on out. But anyway, really
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: focusing on Kansas City. If anyone, do you think that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Kansas City can catch any of these three teams? In
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: which one would you be most concerned about? Would it
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: be the Yanks?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Originally No, Until I saw this weekend, I thought it
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: was gonna be the Red Sox. I thought some of
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the youth, some of the defensive woes, the fact that
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: you have to move a gold glove center fielder to
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: second base for some games in Raphael like to me,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I thought it was gonna be the Red Sox. After
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: this weekend, could be the Yankees. It could be the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Yankees at the Royals catch. Do I think they're gonna
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: catch them? No? Three games is a lot, and the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Royals are playing well right now. They're not necessarily smoking hot,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: but it's gonna take a smoking hot It's gonna take
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: a smoking hot stretch for them to even pull even
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: with those teams. Because I think the Mariners are the
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: best out of those three wild card teams. I think
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: they have a shot at the at the division just
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: because they're starting rotation, which is always good. Hasn't been great,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: but they're starting to round in. They're starting to show
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: signs that they're pitching better.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: M ft FAM, Welcome to the world's most comfortable swimwear
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: For a moment, we are talking about Fair Harbor. We
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: actually have some show and tell today. This is the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: liner that you're working with inside of the shorts and
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the bathing suits.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: You know what the best part is about this gutt
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: what they have a lot of different options, because these
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: are clearly yours because I would never order this pattern.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But that is so mazing. That is so many these
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: are so.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: You Mine are a little bit more plain than this, yes,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: but they are super comfortable.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: The liner. I love liner shorts.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Some people don't, but these liners are better than most
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: that I've had on, if not all of them.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the best liner out.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: There, no mash.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: All the above is perfect exactly. It's really good. You
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: got to give it a shot. Also fun random facts.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You get a new shirt, it smells really good. So
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: head to Fairharbor Clothing dot com, slash foul and use
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: code foul for twenty percent off your first purchase. Once again,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Bear Harbor h A R B O R Clothing dot
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: com backslash fou l for twenty percent off your first
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: purchase and use that promo code foul, so they know
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: FT sent yet, all right, Kratz. Nolan McLain is also
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: on fire in his first couple starts for the Mets
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and giving them length. So you can read this for
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: us since the screens McClain. But also I want to yeah, no, just.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Nolan McLain's the first Mets starter not named David Peterson
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: to finish six hittings since Clay Holmes on June seventh. Gee,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: call a rookie up that's ready and steps right into
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a pen chase that it could change the season for
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: this Yankee. I mean, for this Mets team. The bullpen
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: needs a breather, and he gave it to him.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing. They have other fancy pitching prospects
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: that could be making, you know, a big, big impact
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: this year. Mets fans have been calling for Brandon Sproute
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: now the new name Jonah Thong not a new name.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: He's actually been on our Baseball America Hot Chee show.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about him later when we do
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: that show on the Baseball America YouTube channel. But he
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is one of the best stuff prospects pitcher wise in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the minor leagues right now. He dealt the other day
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: in Triple A. Mets might just roll out this rookie
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: rotation for the stretch run here because this is a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: lit wild card race between the Mets and the Reds.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: They have to put the pedal to the metal. That's
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: not what you want to hear when your bullpen's cashed
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: and your bullpen's exhausted. You went like five games to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: like reset those guys. If it's rookies or if it's veterans,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: they gotta get it done somehow.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: All right, let's do this. Prizinski is here better than
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: box scores. We're gonna start with the first team to
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: be officially eliminated from the playoffs. There's a great tweet
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think it was from Nohiles, who covers the Pirates.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He's like, Pirates play spoiler, knock Rockies out of postseason.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: They're officially eliminated. It's not even September yet.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Here's the problem. Though the Rockies are doing too well
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: this year, they're not going to set the all time
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: losses record, which White Sox fans are happy about, by
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the way, because they'll have something to hang on.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: They want it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: No, but no, it's something Listen if you constantly don't
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: have a lot, and it's been a long time. For
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the White Sox fans, they at least they had the record,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: so at least they'll have the most losses for more
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: than one year in a row. So that does mean something.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: You don't want to just get a record and then
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: lose it right away.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're definitely not going to get there. They're like
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: thirty eight wins are they have ninety four losses crats
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and the White Sox lost one twenty one. There's only
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: thirty one games left.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Not gonna happen. Sorry, White Sox still got the record,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the most dubious record that you could possibly have. But hey,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: they've been hot. I know they lost, they got swept
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: by the Pirates, but before that, I think they are
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: seven and three, eight and two something like that. Going
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: into that Pirates series, they were hot. Watch out for
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the Rockies. But it's just that's so to see a
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: percentage at two eighty two is your winning percentage, That's
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: that's crazy. That is a tough tough season to endure
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: for Rockies and Rockies fans.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: The Rockies are hot. I know they got swept by
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the Pirates, but.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Here here's the thing. I mean the Rockies. I don't know.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: There was a tweet not long ago the Rockies had
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: a better winning percentage than the Dodgers from like a
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: certain point to now, and it was better than.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Yes, I don't know, it was from a point in July.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is still crazy because remember the Dodgers were
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: never going to lose.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, well you said it, let's get to it. Dodgers
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Padres tied atop the National League West. Yes, Dodgers Padres
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: tied atop the National League West. Today is August twenty fifth.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Padres take the series. This past weekend, they bit back.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: You were there, thoughts, Well, I went to the Friday
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: night game. I didn't. I was I went before Friday
• 16:01

• 16:07
  Speaker 3: go to the game Friday night, but went to dinner
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: on Friday night, but got back. The game was so fast,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: it was like two seventeen. So went to dinner, came back,
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: and by the time we got back, we stayed right
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: by the field. We weren't watching the game, and the
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: game was delayed on TV and you could hear the crowd,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: so you knew what was happening before what happened on
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: the TV. So when Suarez got the final out, the
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: place went crazy. When Mason Miller made that pick, the
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: place went crazy. Which, by the way, I asked him,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: he's gonna start playing first base? Now?
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: What did he say?
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: He started laughing. I go, you know, you just closed
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: your eyes and stuck your glove out, and he goes, oh,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: he goes, no, I knew exactly what I was doing.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: I was like, come on, Mason, and so he was laughing.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: He's like, thank god, he goes, that's the worst I
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: pitched since I've been here. So I'm glad I got
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: out of it. And he was, you know, he's great.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: But yeah, they win the first game. The second game,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: they they dominated, I mean has dominated.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: The dodge happened.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: One dude, he just was cutting them in. He was
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: just changing speeds. He just didn't throw them over the plate.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And then Glass now was good. But the thing about
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Tyler Glass Now is, and I said this on the air,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: you just kind of waged him out and he started
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: walking a couple guys and then they just took the
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: one hit and not and Nesta was so good and
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: they didn't have Suarez or Miller on Saturday, and they
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: closed with Adam Estrada morehone. It was like, wait, what
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: you don't have Suarez or Miller. I mean Miller got
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: up but but but Schultz said he was trying to
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: stay away from him, but he still went Adam Estrada
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: morey hoone to finish the game. Like, and that's five
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: dudes that are better than most guys, anybody in most guys, Penn.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: That's the point what they were able to put together here.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: It's special. You know. By the way, I'm in a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: big spot. I mean they're if not a favorite, they're
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: up there right by the way.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: So Preller I got I've never met Preller, aj Preller.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: So I got to meet Preller on Saturday. And I've
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: never even when I was at the Rangers, I never
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: met him, and he was with the Rangers at the time,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: so I actually get to talk to him. He's funny.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: He's quirky funny.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: That's a good way to put it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: He's quirky funny. And I was like, hey, man, I
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: love what you do. He's like prospects. He's like yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: he was like, what you said? We got another draft

• 18:23
  Speaker 3: San Diego, He's like, I gotta go for it. He goes,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: this team I feel like has a chance, especially with
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: where the Dodgers are at in the National League, we
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: have a chance. He's like, I'm going for it. And
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: he's like I did.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: And he's got a confidence level that he can find
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: more prospects.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: He said, up, but he can't faith. He is my
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: favorite line though. He said, I don't watch your show,
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: but I seen clips of this, and then I'm like,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: well that's what we're dying laughing, and Ken Rosenthal and
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I were talking to him. We were dying laughing, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: then I said, well you can come on. He said,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: if he wins, the World Series will come on. Okay,
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: So are we Padre fans.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Now, Well, that's a crats. That's a very common theme
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: in the industry. Sometimes you'll come across someone that tries
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: to play cool, like I don't watch your show, but
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and then they recall things that aj me and you
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: don't even remember. Yeah, but like that time when you
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: guys said this, we're like, oh, I forgot about that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I got a text from the GM. Y.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I got a text from the GM the other day.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: The GM the other a GM the other day text
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: me and said I liked what you said about a
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: certain topic. It might give away who it was, but
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: it was they're listening, they're watching. Maybe they don't watch
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the whole show. That's okay, only our FT loyals are
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: watching the whole show, but they're picking it up. They see.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can choose your spots.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: But it's still cool to hear like gms and presidents
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: and all that say, oh I don't watch, but I
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: seen clips of this and that and all that stuff.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's it's pretty funny actually. But he
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: was great, I mean he was awesome. He was asking
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: me about all these different things I see. And so
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Friday night's game was like two fifteen and Darvish started,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: and then Saturday was two fifteen with Nestor and Glass
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: snow right. But I saw Darvish. I caught Darvish back
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: in twenty thirteen with the Rangers, and I see you
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: and I see you. WTF dude, two hours and seventeen
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: minutes with you on the mound. He goes, I've changed, right,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I've changed. I'm different now, and I'm like, well finally,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: he goes, right, it only took me ten years to
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: figure it out.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I'm so happy. Gosh, you used to
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: probably catch four hours you dive. You knew it was
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: going to be an absolute slog fast. He was so
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: good though, he was nasty, but it was gonna take forever. Okay,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: did you see the Heckler and yes.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: That was yesterday.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was yes, I see the clip.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was cool. Yeah, cool, right, good for.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Show said he was all over there, Doug. I mean
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you're right there. First of all, if you see that,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you see where that guy is. For everyone else that didn't.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Catch almost in the Padres dugout.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's like the bench coach.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: If you haven't been to Peco and seeing what Peco is,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: especially against the Dodgers, it is. If it's not the
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: best scene in baseball right now, going with with the
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Dodgers in town, it's gotta be one or two. I
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: mean maybe Philly maybe, But I'm telling you right now,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: if you have not been to Peco, especially when they
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: play the Dodgers, and it sold out. They had the
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: yellow rally towels going. They're singing all the small things
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: in the eighth inning. Every by the way, it's kind
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: of annoyed me because you know how I am. Every
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: reliever that came in had their own little light show,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: and Padres, yeah, I got every guy that came in
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: had their own little show. So hey, whatever the crowd
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: was into it, it was cool. But Padres are good, man.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: The Padres aren't going away. If they could hit some homers,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: they'd be really good.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: But you've been to Yankees, Red Sox, you've been to Dodgers, Giants.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: The big theme of the week was and some of
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the answers from our show got viral from it. You know, oh,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Padres Dodgers, that's not the best rivalry in baseball.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Go to a game and get back to me. Okay,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: go to a game.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Especially from a lot of Giants and Dodgers people that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: are like Giants Dodgers is the bigger robbery than Dodgers
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: right now? Are Dodgers Padres? And I'm like, not right now?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Nationally aren't good right now, So sorry about it. All right,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: last thing anything changed for us from the weekend Padres
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: or Dodgers.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: It's gonna go down to the wire. Here's the thing. You
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: gotta get Monsie back. They getting Kik back. Shortly, they're
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: getting Tommy Emman, They're getting Kim back. The Dodgers are
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: the Padres have those reinforcements coming. Merrill's heard again, Yeah,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Meryll's heard, But we're.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: You know, not back.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: So yeah, but but I mean, you know, the sum
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: of Key, k Max, Kim and Edmund, that's four new
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: players they're injecting into their exactly they're injecting into their
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: their lineup. They got Tanner Scott back, They're starting to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: get some of their bullpen guys back. So do I
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: think the Padres can win this division? Yes? It was
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: funny Preller by the way he goes, Oh, everyone's picked
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: the Padres except for He goes, even Ken picked the Padres,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: you know, And I was like, I didn't make a pick,
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: so I'm just staying out of this.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: And then he was putting pressure.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And then I think Doc said something to Ken too
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: about it. Ken rose the whole Ballty, oh you picked
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: the Padres too, and Docs and Ken's like, you know,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: I can't get gotta play the the middle. It was funny,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: but you know, people people that don't you know, people
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: getting people don't watch, but they always see that.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: They saw that. I don't even remember which TV. Wow,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: they're really dialed. Do your job, crats. Which team is.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Gonna come down to whoever gets the most home games
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs? In my opinion, look at the home recker.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Here's what they just.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Padres just but Padres just went to Chevez, Ravine got swept.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Dodgers come into San Diego, they won two or three.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: The Padres won two of three. That's what it's gonna
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: come down.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: To, Cratsy. You think about this, though, both these teams
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: are gonna have to play the wildcar round. There's no
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: getting through now because they're too both of them are
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: too far behind. They're not going to catch the Phillies
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: and they're probably not gonna catch them. They're definitely not
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: probably not gonna catch They're probably not gonna catch the Phillies.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: So they're gonna have to play the wildcard round just
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: to get to the Division of them might not make it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: One of them might not make it to the Division series.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: So right now, what is it? It'd be Mets, It'd be Dodgers,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I think because they have the tiebreaker, so they'd be
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: the three yep and then the four would be the
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Padres and then five is the Cubs. So if you
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: get Padres, Cubs, Dodgers, Mets in the wild card and
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: L is good, you'll get them.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: That is good. Crats. If you need to pay rent
• 24:27

  Speaker 1: Perhaps help is Duran.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: He's weird. Duran switched leagues so so to Mason Miller.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're gonna miss like a million people.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: Because there's there's mcguil.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of good believers. He's blown three of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: his last four saves.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, well he's out wait to crash my party.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: They put me on the spot. Can someone help me?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: We're doing eighty things here, yeah, said Suarez. I said, oh,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Chapman or all this Chapman. That's good one.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Having a hell of a year. Yeah. Duran from the
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Durant switch leagues, he can't know.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: That's that's a tough one, guys.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's a twenty twenty six.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: But for this year, it be fun to see.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Oh so it's not this year. There's not going to
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: be one this year. It starts next year. Yep. Okay, cool,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Well I'm into it. That showed you how deep the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: rabbit hole go. Hm, it's hit a little inside edge.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: You know who's playing really good ball. Trey Turner having
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: a nice little season.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: He's in the batting title race. I don't know. It's
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: like right around three hundred. It was him, Freddie will Smith,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: and there's one other one that's right around three hundred
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: in the National League. He's got a chance to win
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: a batting title.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Six sixty seven with runners on base over the last
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: fourteen days, best in the National League. Yeah, that'll play.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: That works, that'll work. Kratz, what do you see you're
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: reporting life on the scene from Philly area.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: It's I think he's like twelve up, twelve up, most
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: amount of hits in the league. Like he's he's making
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: a lot more contact on breaking balls that he wasn't
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: making other years, and he's not chasing as many. So
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he'll get the batting title. I
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: think Freddy will probably squeak it out, but Trey just
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: as collecting hits.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good season front to back here for Philly,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: and now they're not going to have to sweat it
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to the finish line for the division with the way
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the Mets have been playing these two teams up this week,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: by the way, that's in Phillies.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: They need they need Nola to get back to being Nola, yes,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: off off his injury. They lost Wheeler, yeah, which has
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: been incredible. Suarez has been really good. Loardo has been good.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: So they're in a good spot in those Phillies they are.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. Let's starry with Baba Chandler, when
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the top pitching prospects in the sport makes his debut
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: on Friday and records a four innings save. In his debut,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: he shut down the Colorado Rockies and his first strikeout
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: was on a one hundred mile an hour fastball. Four
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: shutout innings. The notable part of the performance was what
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: he said after the game, too, AJ So here's that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. Part of it as if he
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: thought he should get up called up sooner. But there's
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: not a lot of twenty two year old kid straight
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: forward about it. Yeah, I want to be here soon.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Why isn't he starting? That's the question. What if he's
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: gonna throw four ings at the bullpen one?
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great question. Why is he not starting?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: And I think it's something that historically the Pirates have
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: kind of screwed up starting pictures. They haven't. They've made
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: some great ones Tyler Glass now, Garrett Cole, you go
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: to you know now Paul Schemes, but they've done better
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: when they've gone to other places. So this is a
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: different regime. The people that I talked to that were
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: in charge said they want to ease his Major League
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: experience in and it confuses me because I've never seen
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I've never seen a team say oh, yeah, well this
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: is why this worked. And you know, to me, I
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: think it's it's confusing. Why you would have somebody do
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: something completely different when you go up to the big leagues.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: They gave him four innings, they give him clean inning,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: you know, they give him enough time to ramp up.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: But it's all stuff he's never done. I would have
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: hated to go to the big leagues as a catcher
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: throughout the minor leagues and then say hey, we're gonna
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: go play you in left field. We'll give you a
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: lot of practice and we'll give you a lot of
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: heads up, but you're gonna go play left field. That
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: would be super difficult. I feel like that's what they're
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: setting up Bubba Chandler to be in a bad spot.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Doing this to him just so stupid.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: He's been a starter his whole life. Just start him.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: If you want him to be, then let him go
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: four or five to playoff race.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I don't understand if you want to be out of
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: it since since opening day. If you want, if you
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: want him to be a starter going forward, why not
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: get used to being started. Why are you getting him
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: used to being a reliever? Was he gonna be your closer? No,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: he's going to be a starter. Let the guy start
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: and let him pitch every fit thing and get used
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: to it. Because I guarante years never pitched every fifth
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: day in his life. So let him do it now
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: for the last month. Get four or five starts if
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: you only have to, like do what crocheted, get him
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: three innings, if you got limit his innings, whatever, but
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: get him used to getting a routine to start every
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: fifth day.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: I don't get it, No one does. Nobody does.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Nobody does. The people I asked didn't really have didn't
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: really have an answer that I've ever heard. But again,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to be a guy that's like, well
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: they've done this forever. It's doun like it just feels
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: like it feels like you're not getting the most out
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: of him. Maybe nothing happens, maybe he ends up being
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: an elite starter later in his career, or you know,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: next year when he jumps into the rotation. But it's like,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: are you punishing him? Is it because his walk weight
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: walk rate went up when he was in the minor leagues?
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: The last few months when he already should have been
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: called up, but the Pirates didn't call him up because
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: it's service time manipulation and he can be a Rookie
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: of the Year next year. Like, let's just call spade
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: a spade.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: When it comes to the Pirates, I'm always trying to
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: think of what they're doing to screw over the player.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Is it wrong to think that way? If you're going
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: to think of one organization that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Just No, I don't want to players. You always want
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: to try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I just this one just doesn't make sense. If you
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: want him to be a starter next year, just let
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: him start. He's not gonna hit an innings thing. He's
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: not gonna hit a he's not going to hit a
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year thing. You've already passed that, So
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: just let him start. Just let him go out there
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: and see what he's got. I mean, Skeen's Jones, Chandler,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: that's a good start to your rotation for next year.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: If you're Keller, there's four that are pretty good start.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: So why would you waste? Why would you waste? Why
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: would you you want him to get used to being
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: a reliever, like, no, if he's going to be a starter,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: let him start. I don't know, whatever, Hey whatever. That's
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: why that's why I'm not a GM, because I'd be
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: like start.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: But most gms don't do that. That's why we're bringing
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: this up. We're not just complaining because it's the Pirates.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: We're actually going to praise the Pirates in a moment.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I mean they've done a nice job developing some pitching
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: above a Chandler included, right, so credit there, but just
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: confusing sometimes about the way things are going at the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: big league level real quick. Baba Chandler, knowing he had
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a chance to go pro, was told to put on
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: twenty pounds when he was a high schooler. I think
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: when I was reading more into this, they were like,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you could make like an extra million bucks or something
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: because he was one of those guys that could have
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: played football.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: I think he had an offer or commitment somewhere and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: then he said no and ended up getting a few
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: million bucks. So he ate between seven and eight thousand
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: calories a day. In addition to three normal meals a day,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: he would usually add on ten peanut butter and jelly
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: sandwiches four protein shakes and six big map Big Max
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: or whoppers every day. That's what the article says.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: That's way more than seven to eight thousand calories. I'm
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: sorry because in one big Mac is like a thousand calories.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I hope they mean per week, but I.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Think if you had six to seven Big Max per day,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: first of all, you're probably in whoppers. You're probably going
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: to not feel very good, not be able to pitch
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: that day. I remember I had mono one year. I
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: got mono in nineteen ninety five when I was in Appleton, Wisconsin.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I lost like forty pounds and there was a dairy
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: queen Elizabeth and Tennessee, and they're like, go to dairy
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: queen every day and just eat whatever he wants every day.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Come into the clubhouse like a big old peanut buster
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: parfait and was just stuff in my fat face with
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: it because I was trying to put weight back on it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Where's the greatest Wow? Everyone come in with McDonald's, Hardy's,
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: who wait this plubbe guys and go who wait hardies,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: mashed potatos and gravy.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Excuse everybody wants to put the people that want to
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: put on weight can't. The people who don't want to
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: put on weight.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Can true true often the case.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Right, Listen, you can always put on weight if you
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: eat enough. I don't care who you are if you eat,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: if you eat enough, you always can put on weight.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You just got to eat. People like people don't like
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: to eat.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: I just watched No, No, that's fair, that's fair.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe AJ would host that show because they
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: did the Biggest Loser for a long time and it
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: got controversial. I watched the documentary on Netflix. Is pretty good.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: But maybe you do the reverse of that. AJ teaches
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you how even if I think you can't put on
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: weight and you're Bubba Chandler, He's like, let me show
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: you how it's done. Okay, baby, trust me.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: If you eat, you put on weight. You just gotta eat.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: But there's like, so my son is a freshman in college. Yeah,
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: and all his teammates want to put on weight. You
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: needed to put on weight, He did you put on
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: You put on a lot of weight. Because how we're
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: just like started you want you on weaight protein? Proteins. Proteins.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Oh you're you're feeling a little hungry. Here here's here's
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: pre made chicken. Eat it. Here's pre made steak bites.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Eat it left him now. Yeah, but it was more
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: of like the intake. Yeah, because what happens is people
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: are like, oh, I can only eat three meals a day. Well,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: you know what you gotta eat. You gotta eat a
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: lot of protein, and you gotta eat a lot of calories.
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: But you also have to eat in between meals. So
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: anytime you feel a little craving, we'll get a thing
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: of protein. There's a couple of hundred calories five four
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: or five hundred colories boom. But it's good calories that
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: you can put on weight. Anyone can put on weight.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Losing weight to me is way harder than putting on weight.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm mm hmm. Paul Skins Sunday seven scoreless against
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the Rockies first fifty starts two oh two e r
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a lowest in the Live Ball era since nineteen twenty.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: I think that is was by the Blue nineteen sixty
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: nine to nineteen seventy two at two oh one, so
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: basically the same. I mean, it's one of the best
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: starts we've ever seen.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: CC was way harder for Paul Skins in it than.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: This is era higher than Oh yeah, oh so there
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: The SEC was way harder.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: SEC. It's just different.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Just means war. It just means more. Down there, crowds,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: you guys would understand.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's built different. They're built different. It's the best
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: best baseball teams money can buy.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: One more. I want to get to this. Shane Bieber
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: debuts Friday, dealing.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Good for him. You know what what over all? Over year?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Right since he.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Pitched Yeah, last year in I believe April or March.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Is when a pick up starts. What a pickup for
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: the Blue Jays?
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Right and strikeouts against the Marlins?
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: What a pickup? Think about that? No nobody even I mean,
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I guess he was on the block, but he hadn't
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: pitched in a big league game. And so long, blue
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: Jay's gonna suresers rebounded. They got Bieber, Gossman, Bassett, Barrios,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: Hoffin's having a good year. Lower that's pretty good rotation, Bieber.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: So here's the thing.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: By the way, the Blue Jays are winning, that they're
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: gonna win, that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: They're taking the East up five games on Boston, five
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: and a half on Kratsy's supposed to be a pretty
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: good prospect. Also, they took on not only the money
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: this year, but then next year in case he did
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: pick up the player option, which now looks pretty unlikely.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: If he's gonna throw starts like that together for the
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: rest of the year, he'll go to free agency. So
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: good risk if he looks like that.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: Good risk they gave up. They gave up a decent
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: prospect the Blue Jays. I don't think he slots in
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: right now because he has to show that he can
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: he can continue this if he hasn't blipping, if he
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: has a blip in the radar here and the next
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: you know, Let's say he puts together five good starts
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: in seven starts. Is that enough? Is that enough to
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: bump one of those guys that you mentioned out of
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: the rotation for the playoffs? I don't think so. And
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think coming off of Tommy John. I just
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: have a tough time saying all they're going to move
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: him to the bullpen. There's just uncertainty coming off that
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: off of Tommy John. I don't know. I don't think
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: he's one of their top rotation pieces for the playoffs.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Wait, you don't.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: No, he's saying he's not gonna make the rotation to
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: the playoffs.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Oh no, he is making their rotation in the playoffs
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: if he looks like.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: That, agreed, I mean he might be their game one
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: start if he keep those four more starts like that.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to be a playoff starter. If
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: we're getting this version of him like we saw. I
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: know it's one start, but yeah, Kratz. Of course, if
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: he goes through some struggles here coming up, they'll bump
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: them because they do have other options. But I think
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: if he looks like the Shane Bieber of old, I
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: mean his vila was up from last time we saw him.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: He's starting one. He's starting to the best out of
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: five as one of the top over.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Over Gosman, over Bassett and over Bury.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Us yes, over all three.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: He's gonna have to put together a legit six or
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: seven starts.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, he has a saw Young in his back pocket,
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: just saying, what do you do a sures er, what
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: do you allower? There's a nice problem to have. And
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: by the way, so just FYI got the I got
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: an email the other day from from Fox. It said,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: be ready to go to Canada. I hope you have
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: a passport.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, here we go Toronto. Here I come.
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Jay's fans get ready yep? Fore aj PERSI?
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: Oh I hope So I love Toronto? Yeah, and you
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: like their task? Yeah?
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, KP. This is your first arena club experience. We're
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: gonna open a slab pack together. So first off, we're
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: gonna buy one of those twenty five dollars slab packs
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and we get to see what is in the pack.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: There it is the Grail, which is the best card
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: in the pack and worth the most. There are some
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: other cards that we're chasing, and you can see the
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: entire lineup so that you know what you're in the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: running for. There's the Yamamoto signed card. Now let's open
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: up our pack and see how we do. We have
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: ourselves a really cool graphic and then a show Heyo
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Tawani fifty to fifty card from last year. What do
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: you want to do? Should we sell it right back
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to them for sixteen or should we keep it?
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: You should give it to me, I'll keep.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Good answer, fine, I will give it to you. Since
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays didn't getto Tani, you can get this
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: fifty to fifty card instead. Use the code foul foul
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: to get yourself twenty percent off your first slab pack
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: or card purchase. Yes, you get to keep that card
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: if you want it, they send it to you foul
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: at Arena club dot com. Slash foul still a good
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: time for me to probably do my victory lap on
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: last year. I know, I don't like to shit on players,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: but you guys were all over me about Erlander. I
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: was like, he's not making the playoff roster.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: He's not making it this year, that's for sure.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Last year you guys were like, ohre you cleasier, you
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: can go. It was more of an ag that's right.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: I don't wear that one. You know why because I
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: didn't think that he was going to be that bad,
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: and then at the end of the year he was
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: that bad. And then this year he hasn't been great either.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: So yeah, way to go, Scott, thank you, way to go.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: I have room here and we're standing, so I was
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: doing my lap, real victory lap to cal Raley, who
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: set the record for a catcher former season.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: I mean's Salvey's record didn't last very long, did it?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: One MVP MVP of the American League right there.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Game on Sunday. Forty nine homers is the most ever
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: by a catcher.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Big questions. Does he does he get to sixty Does
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: he break Judges' record of sixty two?
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Not sixty two? He's got a shot at sixty thirty games.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: It's won every other game that gets the game sixty four.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every other game is a stretch.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm just saying he hit too yesterday.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: He still needs to get the record for homers as
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: a catcher, which is held by Hobby Lopez.
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Forty two?
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: He's got forty nine?
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no. When you're a catcher, when you're
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: a dage talking, Oh, talk about that?
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: My turn for a victory lap victory lap. I said
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: he was going to break Salvey's record victory lap. Come on, AJ,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: you can victory lap with me if you want.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: I said, you can win MVP victory lab. Everyone, what's up?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: What?
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: Wait? You want to get on this?
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: But uh, Wally Joiner conversation coming up next. I actually
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: want to play game. I don't know if we have
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: time for it now, but maybe we'll do it a
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: different break the seven catchers with forty plus homer seasons. Oh,
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: we have one minute, all right.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: Go Hobby Salvey, Johnny bench Piazza. There's four. Uh, jeez, cal.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: There's two that are tough. Yeah, Todd Hunley, Yeah, Tyler
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: want the last one? You got him already, the last one.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: You're it's gonna be tough for a nineteen fifty three.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's gonna be tough.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Gabby Hartnett, Roy Campanella.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, dang, you gotta stick well there.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: Injuries. Okay, we have been following the Zach Wheeler story.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: This is one of the best pictures in baseball and
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: would have been a huge factor for the Phillies in
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the postseason. He is going to miss the rest of
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the season. Uh, surgery for thorassic outlets syndrome. I don't
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: know how to say the word before that. It's with
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a B. You can look it up.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Timeline is six to eight months. The venueless venus venus?
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: What the E N P? It's the P O U
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: S A P before thorascic outlets syndrome venus venous?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: What's with A.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: The first letter? The first letter?
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I got thrown off. Phillies are games up.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: They're playing the Mets this week. But but let's be
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: sere for a second. How how much does this make
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: the chance of this team? And this is like, this
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: isn't the last dance, but it could be closed this group.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: This matters is because he's one of the best pitchers
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: in baseball top five. I had a conversation before this
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: came out with Shane Green. He was pitching the big
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: leagues for a long time and he had the same thing.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: He had numbness in his fingers and they couldn't figure
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: out what it was. And then he had the same thing.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: He had a blood clot but they called it an aneurysm,
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: so then they went in he had the thoracic whatever,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: and then he and you know, he never really fully
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: got the feeling back, and he's still to this day,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: is years later, still kind of gets some numbness in
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: his fingers. And he was and I was like, well,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's what uh. I don't think that's
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: what uh Wheeler has. But then it came out that
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: he had it. So it's gonna be interesting to see
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: him come back from this because shoulders. We've talked about
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: shoulders and thrastic goat letter suck.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: And Wheeler's not young one, for sure, he's not young.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: He's finishing out his contract, his new contract that he
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: just signed with them. U. But look like when you
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: talk about blood blood clot, missing a few months, missing
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: six to eight months of pitching is kind of the
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: best case scenario because you talk about other health issues
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: that you could get from a blood clot. It's good
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: they figured it out. As a Phillies fan, they can't ever,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: they can't think Zach Wheeler is going to come back
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: and be the Zach Wheeler that he is. Anything that
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: he gives them will be extra. But for the postseason, yes,
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: it is a big thing. I don't care who you say. Well,
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez, he could be cy Young, you know, number
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: two in the Cy Young Race this year. Absolutely wouldn't
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: it be great to have the number two and number
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: three pitchers in the Cy Young Race in your starting rotation.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: You're gonna guys are gonna have to step up. Not
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: sure who it's gonna be. Could be Nola Ranger, Suarez
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: is doing awesome. But you can't go in there and
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: say it'd be interesting. Do they start three two three
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: lefty starters in the first three games of the playoffs.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Who's your four if you need four, right, No, that's
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the seven.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: It's Nola. You throw him in maybe somewhere in the
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: middle too or something, just to mix up the lefties.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: But you need a couple sea Yeas. Game three is
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: always the most important for me, especially in a five
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: game series, because you're either going for a clinch, going
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: to saviory season, or going to go up to one.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: So three, Game three to me is the most important game.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: So you want to win game one obviously, but game
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: three to me is who do you pitch in game three?
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: If that has to be? If you go Sanchez one,
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: then you you don't want to go four three left.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: To Sanchez Suarez Nola.
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: No, I would go Sanchez Nola Suarez, Oh you do
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: it righty, Yeah, just to throw a righty in the
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: middle because you're you're you're expecting Sanchez to win, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: then you're like, all right, if you win for Nola,
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: it's a huge bonus. And then your Mexicu Swarz has
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: been good in the playoffs too, So if you throw
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Swarz in game three, you're like, all right, no matter
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: where we're at, we have a chance to continueither clinch
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: the series or continue the series.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: But you could go back to back leftist to start.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: You'd rather go back to back lefties for games three
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: and four instead of one.
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: And two Games three and four to me? Or yeah,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: you need your boys, you need your best, And I
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: think it depends. I don't know. We'll have to see
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: what Dolan pitches. If Nolan pitches well, then he pitches
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: Game two for me.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Nola definitely has to improve. Great start against the Nats.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: He's got to improve. I mean there's there's no doubt
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: that right now because he's coming off the I l
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: the hotter pitcher is Tylan Walker. Do they give Tywan
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Walker starts in the playoffs? I don't know. If he
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: continues what he's done in his last eight starts, you
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: have a hard time saying no, you're not going to
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: give him any starts or you know, like last year,
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: wasn't even in the playoff roster.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: So if you trust him, you trust him as a
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: Phillies fan, you trust Tywan Walker. He's been good, But
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: do you trust him? Do you trust him to start
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: a game in the playoffs?
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, And you want Nola because because
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: that's the secure pick. Nolan's a secure pick, but before
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: his injury, he had like a six to one e
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: r A. There's a lot of loud contact hurt and
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: he was hurt, yes, but he has to come back
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: fully healthy. If he does, the Phillies will be Phillies
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: will be a force.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: What where right now? The Phillies are what? What number?
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Team wise in the n meaning if you had to,
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: if you had to handicap him right now, where would
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: you put the Phillies one? Two, three, four?
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: He's asking you for power rankings.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Enough power ranking. He's just your kind of sort of
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: but they're not mine, so there's someone else.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: He doesn't like to call them that, but he's asking
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: you for power rankings.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say. I'm going to say, because the Dodgers
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: don't have all those guys back yet, and the Padres
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: don't hit enough homers, and the Phillies offense has been
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: clicking in the last two weeks, I'm gonna say the
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Phillies are two. I'm gonna say it goes behind the
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Brewer Brewers, Brewers, Phillies and then Dodgers Padres. Whatever you
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: can at me at that one.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, that's fair.
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, one other I means nothing like going chalk. It's
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: cool when you go chalk. But we got it.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Why did you want to do something crazy?
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I just was asking his opinion. He
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: can say whatever he wants. But he went chalk. He
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: went exactly chalk, like, oh, look at me.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: He doesn't want to be all over the internet.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: No, he doesn't want his Homerism. He doesn't want his
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: Homerism for the Brewers to take over for his Homerism
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: with the Phillies because it's a huge fight in his head,
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: like who am I more of a homer the Brewers
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: of the Phillies? So I don't know. You know what
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: else is not crats? You love this? You know what else?
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Is?
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: Another question I get from a lot of people, managers,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: GMS at people. When I talked to him, everyone asks,
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: the are the Brewers for real?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Everyone asks? Everybody asks, there's a reason for that because
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: there haven't won in the postseason the past half decade.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Everybody a fair question. It is a fair question. But
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: everybody says they're the Brewis for real? And I'm like,
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: the Brewers to me are really good because they are
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: a Murph team. What does that mean? They play like
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: Murph was at Arizona State. Bunt, they steal bases, they
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: put press, I mean every They're completely different from every
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: other team in the major leagues. Right, there's pure speed. Yes,
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: they have Yelich in contrasting and the other guys can
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: hit some homers. But they bunt, they run, they go
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: first a third, they take the extra base. It's constant pressure.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: They pitch really well. They play great defense. It's completely
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: different than almost every other team in the Major League.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: So teams when they play them are like, oh wait, wait,
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: what we gotta field a bunt. Wait, we gotta bunt defense,
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: we gotta cover first and thirds, we gotta do steals.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: It's just not what the teams see. So that's why
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: that's a huge advantage for them.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: It is. It's annoying, but you still might be able
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: to bash homers and beat them in October. We'll see,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: we'll be all right back with slap pans. Will congratulate
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the Little League World Series champs. They congratulations to Chinese
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Taipei winning the Little League World Series after taking down
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: to about a seven to nothing on Sunday in Williamsport.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: That's six straight champs from the US. It's the first
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: team since Japan in twenty seventeen to win it outside
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: of the United States.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: By the way, the kid to pitch for Taipei was
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: throwing cheese with By the way, did you see that?
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: He was eighty three to eighty five crowds eighty three
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: to eighty five.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: That is why they went. They won the game before
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: that was what won nothing.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they they could pitch.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: They played real clean defense. I didn't watch everything. I
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: caught highlights, mostly in fairness, but clean defense.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: I was flipping through highlights and like, these kids are
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: fundamentally sound.
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: It's the Brewers, except there was a bazillion he was missed.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: But when the miz has control.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. That's a good analogy. The kid was
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: throwing cheese. He looked like he was throwing cheese. These
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: kids missed some school to win this. Hey, Nevada, you're
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: you're always a US champ. Not the World League World Series,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: but the US champ.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: It just doesn't count, though, Does that really count? Like you,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's cool, but but here's my question. It's
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: like it's like the ALCS cham and that loses to
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: the in the World Series like the Yankees last year.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Do you really want the second place? You want the
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: first place? Ring you do? I mean, nobody remembers. Nobody
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: remembers that who lost. Everyone remembers who won.
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're there, who got second?
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, of course yeah. But it's it's a cool thing.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: But still you want to win. You don't want to
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: just be like, oh, the US Champs.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of things I want to get to you.
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: So first off, yes we are these twins. Next year,
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Field of Dreams game is back.
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, we just.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Found that out officially this weekend.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: The first one game, the first one was the greatest game,
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest games I've ever been to.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: But it's still it's it's just esthetically it's a really
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: cool game.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: To watch a year. But you just can't do it
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: every year because like the second year didn't hit like
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: the first year did.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, so now it's coming back.
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: It's coming back and went away for a couple of years.
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: I bet you they don't run out of corn to
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: eat for the people. If you get hungry and like
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: they did in Bristol this year, if they run out.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, you're not gonna run.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: I tried to eat that corn. It tasted like pooh.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: You had to spit it out of it. It wasn't
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: eating corn. By the way, Apparently there's diferent types of corn.
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: I didn't know there's different types of corn. There's like
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: eating corn, and then there's like feed corn and like
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: corn you don't eat. And I tried to corn you
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: don't eat. You had the poop, had the poop corn,
• 53:12
  Speaker 3: not corn in my poo. I had pooh in my corn.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what to do with that. But yeah,
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: yellow corn, white corn, Like you have to know what
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: you're eating.
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just pulled. They were like pulling off the
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: stock and take a bite.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: Still, you do it for the experience.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: No, listen, if you get a chance to go to
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: this game. I got to go the first one. It
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: was one of the coolest things of all time. I
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: got to go with my son, which made more and
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: then I was lucky enough to go with Fox and
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: they closed the show with me playing catch with my
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: son on air, so that was awesome. But to be
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: there with the White Sox Yankees, Tim Anderson hit the
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: walk off Homer. There's a huge rally from the from
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: the Yankees to get it to the bottom of the
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: nine Tim Anderson and he did the whole way after
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: you hit it. It was one of the It was
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest experiences. No, it's a bitch to
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: get there, but it's awesome when you get there. In Minnesota,
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: it's not that far.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did a great job, but they do a
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: great job with that one. Yeah, krats ats what do
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: you got?
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Tina's got to step it up this weekend and really
• 54:14

• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Sox series until the ESPN. Maybe they're just not They
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: just don't like Fox.
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: They like they weren't on Fox. They were not. Oh
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: they were Thursday they got smacked. Yeah, that was the
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Roman Anthem. That was the Roman Empire show.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Thursday Ken writes about him and then he smacks
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: a Homer.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Everyone's worried he was going to be nervous, Like, oh,
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: so nervous.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: He's perfect. A couple other shout outs. Junior Camonaro has
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: thirty seven home runs. I know you don't talking about
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: the rest stud Trevor Rodgers two runs or less than
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: eleven straight starts.
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: He doesn't really look like Junior, Oh, oh see your bat.
• 54:50
