Nationals-Red Sox BRAWL, Steve Cohen is keeping Stearns, Marlins June BREEZE, PCA says no HR Derby · Foul Territory

0:01
Speaker 1: I'm not getting hold of.
0:11
Speaker 2: A happy, happy, happy Bobby Bernia to day to us who.
0:16
Speaker 3: Celebrate Bobby Bo. Baby, he's got a couple more years
0:22
Speaker 3: on that contract too.
0:25
Speaker 2: One point one nine million dollar check coming through today
0:29
Speaker 2: for the sixty three year olds. Yeah, it's been a
0:33
Speaker 2: minute since he played ball, plus an additional five hundred
0:36
Speaker 2: thousand dollars from the Orioles based on a January two
0:39
Speaker 2: thousand contract deferral.
0:42
Speaker 3: Bobby Bo still wait, hold on, hold on one second,
0:46
Speaker 3: doesn't he doesn't he get pensioned too?
0:48
Speaker 4: Man, my man from the kicking butt he's.
0:50
Speaker 3: Over what what's that over sixty two?
0:53
Speaker 4: Kratzy.
0:55
Speaker 5: Oh, you can get him whenever, like I guess, start
0:57
Speaker 5: flagging it now. But you get you get less. So
0:59
Speaker 5: you do you wait till sixty two to get your full,
1:03
Speaker 5: full full pension or do you wait till fifty five?
1:06
Speaker 5: Bobby Bo's Bobby Bo's kind of got to figure it out.
1:10
Speaker 5: I would say, let's just be honest. If you had
1:14
Speaker 5: taken the money all up front, he'd be making more,
1:16
Speaker 5: But then it wouldn't be a story. So it's cool.
1:18
Speaker 5: Like everybody's like, WHOA, I'd love to get one point
1:21
Speaker 5: one nine million. Well, yeah, obviously, but had he taken
1:24
Speaker 5: it all right out the gate, he'd have been doing
1:27
Speaker 5: a little bit better.
1:28
Speaker 2: No, I disagree. I think you're wrong on that part.
1:31
Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead.
1:33
Speaker 2: Usually you're right, right, take the money and then if
1:36
Speaker 2: it's invested, even conservatively, it should be fine. As far
1:41
Speaker 2: as I remember from this story, this had to do
1:44
Speaker 2: with the who's the Ponzi scheme? Dude made off made off.
1:50
Speaker 2: I think this had to do with the Mets getting
1:51
Speaker 2: great returns the wipons, and so they were like, oh,
1:54
Speaker 2: you're better off just keeping and pushing this money later,
1:57
Speaker 2: and the returns clearly weren't as good as they thought
1:59
Speaker 2: they were. I could be off on that, but I'm
2:01
Speaker 2: pretty sure if you do the math on Bobby bow
2:04
Speaker 2: and what he's received, right, because so if you look
2:06
Speaker 2: at what the contract would have been worth versus now,
2:09
Speaker 2: even factoring in the time, I'm pretty sure. Now in
2:13
Speaker 2: most cases, no, right, if you defer a bunch of
2:15
Speaker 2: money that you could have taken right away, you take
2:18
Speaker 2: it right away, right. And this gets into the wild
2:22
Speaker 2: world of deferrals and how many people don't understand them.
2:25
Speaker 2: But in Bobby's particular case, it'll is a little more intricate.
2:29
Speaker 2: So here are some other deferral payments. If you want
2:31
Speaker 2: to read about Bobby, just google him. We're not smart
2:33
Speaker 2: enough for this, but here's other deferral payments. Max Schurzer
2:36
Speaker 2: fifteen MILLI year through twenty twenty seven from the Nats
2:39
Speaker 2: and then fifteen from the Dodgers in twenty twenty eight.
2:43
Speaker 2: Manny Ramirez is still making some cast this year, final
2:46
Speaker 2: year of his deferral payments from the Red Sox. Liam Hendrick.
2:49
Speaker 2: Liam Hendrick still getting money through twenty thirty three. Lorenzo
2:52
Speaker 2: Caine Our Boys still through twenty twenty seven from the Brewers.
2:55
Speaker 2: Brett Saberhagen hasn't pitched in a minute. That's probably related
2:59
Speaker 2: to the Podzi scheme stuff and Bobby Bonia back in
3:01
Speaker 2: the day. He's still getting paid through twenty twenty eight.
3:04
Speaker 2: Chris Davis on this list, Ryan Brown on this list,
3:06
Speaker 2: Adam Wayne Right on this list with a milli year
3:08
Speaker 2: through twenty thirty three. So that looks like a rainbow.
3:12
Speaker 2: I would call it. Of different teams and team colors
3:15
Speaker 2: Todd Father. When people say, oh, there's only one team
3:17
Speaker 2: doing deferrals, there are many teams that do deferrals.
3:20
Speaker 3: Listen, Honestly, when you're done playing and you know you
3:24
Speaker 3: have money coming in and you're not doing anything, that's
3:28
Speaker 3: got to feel pretty dark good if you want to.
3:30
Speaker 4: I'm not.
3:31
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure some guys are doing stuff, making
3:34
Speaker 3: some side money, maybe you know, broadcasting, doing whatever. That's great,
3:37
Speaker 3: But knowing every July first that you got a lump
3:41
Speaker 3: some coming in, Honey, where are we going on vacation?
3:45
Speaker 3: Let's go, So that's gotta be good. I would have
3:49
Speaker 3: liked to defer some money just knowing that I had
3:51
Speaker 3: some trickling in.
3:52
Speaker 4: But you know, I'm fine, I'm plenty fine.
3:57
Speaker 2: It's always fun July first every year. Now, let's get
4:01
Speaker 2: to a brawl.
4:04
Speaker 5: Charge out.
4:06
Speaker 2: That's why we do this show. Take us through everything. Kratz, Wilson,
4:10
Speaker 2: Contreras booted from a game for the second consecutive day.
4:14
Speaker 2: This one actually turned into benches clearing a little bit
4:16
Speaker 2: of fisticuffs, right. It was more than just hey, hey,
4:20
Speaker 2: hold me back, bro. This got a little real eventually,
4:23
Speaker 2: Contrera's chuck and the helmet, you know, Ky cavally saying
4:26
Speaker 2: that he was bumping into him on purpose, and he
4:29
Speaker 2: tells him sit down, boy. Now there's a part two
4:31
Speaker 2: here where Cavali actually today apologized and said he feels
4:35
Speaker 2: heartbroken for using the word boy and said he's going
4:38
Speaker 2: to eliminate it from his vocabulary based on history that
4:42
Speaker 2: he said he learned about that word and connotations and
4:45
Speaker 2: the way that he spoke to him that he said
4:47
Speaker 2: he didn't realize and will never do again. So there's
4:50
Speaker 2: all kinds of quotes. And Spencer Nussbaum, who covers the
4:52
Speaker 2: Nationals for the Athletic and also for our District Territory show,
4:55
Speaker 2: is all over this if you give him a follow.
4:57
Speaker 2: But anyway, Kratz, take me through everything.
4:59
Speaker 5: There was a here, all right, Well, let's rewind to
5:03
Speaker 5: the less time that they saw each other, which was
5:07
Speaker 5: I think an inning or two earlier, And the fact
5:12
Speaker 5: that Wilson Contreras is running off the mound or running
5:16
Speaker 5: off of from third base as Cavali's coming off the
5:20
Speaker 5: mound and takes a veered route. Now I get it.
5:24
Speaker 5: If you draw a line to the dugout, it's a
5:27
Speaker 5: This is a very that is very intentional. Watching the video,
5:32
Speaker 5: he's intentionally trying to get very close to k cavally
5:37
Speaker 5: right there. He can easily go behind him. He could
5:41
Speaker 5: have easily continued down the line and made a little
5:43
Speaker 5: bit bigger of a loop. That is like to me
5:46
Speaker 5: when I saw it, I was like, that feels like
5:48
Speaker 5: that looks like AI. It looks computer generated, like you
5:52
Speaker 5: just don't run that close to somebody. And he bumped
5:54
Speaker 5: him and he said, oh, I'm sorry. So then there's
5:58
Speaker 5: a little bit of it. He didn't throw out to me,
6:00
Speaker 5: struck him out. Kate cavally struck him out. He said
6:03
Speaker 5: some words to him, and then Wilson's like, who you
6:06
Speaker 5: talking to? You talking to me? And then Wilson after
6:09
Speaker 5: the game goes, I feel like it's totally unfair that
6:13
Speaker 5: I'm getting thrown out of the game. From yesterday him
6:16
Speaker 5: tapping his helmet. Now, I also saw another video of
6:20
Speaker 5: him tapping his helmet yesterday, and it wasn't just one tap.
6:25
Speaker 5: He continued to tap his helmet as he walked back.
6:28
Speaker 5: It was one, two, three, four tapping his helmet as
6:33
Speaker 5: he was walking back. And he thinks he shouldn't have
6:35
Speaker 5: gotten thrown out, as Scott also thinks. And then yesterday
6:38
Speaker 5: he threw his helmet at a at a whoever he
6:41
Speaker 5: is trying to hit, he threw his helmet. That's gonna
6:45
Speaker 5: cost him a big time.
6:48
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, A lot of unfold here. I mean this
6:51
Speaker 3: actually can go back to the frustrations.
6:54
Speaker 4: I guess.
6:54
Speaker 3: I don't know if he was frustrated or with the
6:58
Speaker 3: Yankees too him and will excuse me. After a walk
7:03
Speaker 3: he thought he threw up and in on him twice
7:05
Speaker 3: and he said something to him. So, I mean, listen,
7:08
Speaker 3: it's one of those times I give the benefit of
7:10
Speaker 3: doubt to all the players. Honestly, man, listen, he's going
7:14
Speaker 3: through some tough times. I guess he's frustrated, his stuff
7:16
Speaker 3: going on in his country. I mean, everything comes into
7:19
Speaker 3: play here. I mean the guy he battles, did it
7:24
Speaker 3: look like he diverted to go get him a bump?
7:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, it did.
7:27
Speaker 3: He could have you know, there's a lot of things
7:29
Speaker 3: that you say, Kratzy, you could have stopped and waited
7:31
Speaker 3: till somebody went by. Uh, we don't. We don't know
7:34
Speaker 3: the full thing here. I mean maybe there's more to it,
7:36
Speaker 3: but yeah, the word usage by Kate by Cavali, you know,
7:42
Speaker 3: probably or definitely he could have said something differently there.
7:46
Speaker 3: I know, in the heat of the moment as they
7:48
Speaker 3: talk about how things get crazy and you say some remarks,
7:53
Speaker 3: you just gotta you gotta really think before you speak,
7:57
Speaker 3: and you gotta really think about what you're doing, uh,
8:00
Speaker 3: you know, and all different things. So Contrares just got
8:05
Speaker 3: a cool down a little bit. I think he's just
8:07
Speaker 3: a little on edge. Cavali needs to slow his roll
8:10
Speaker 3: down a little bit too. I think both were at
8:11
Speaker 3: fault and both need to understand that. You know, listen,
8:14
Speaker 3: he the moment. We don't mind it. A little chirping
8:17
Speaker 3: going on, that's fine, but this just got a little
8:19
Speaker 3: out of hand.
8:21
Speaker 5: I think he's taking a fence to so many things
8:24
Speaker 5: right now that you know, when when he says something
8:28
Speaker 5: like when Wilson says something like I've been thrown out
8:31
Speaker 5: the last two days and neither have been my fault,
8:33
Speaker 5: I feel like he needs to maybe like do a
8:36
Speaker 5: little reflection maybe or maybe I'm just seeing it completely
8:41
Speaker 5: wrong here. Should Cavally have yelled at him, No, is
8:45
Speaker 5: there that stuff going on in the game? Yes? Is
8:49
Speaker 5: there emotion? Absolutely? Does Wilson have higher emotions? Yes? Did
8:54
Speaker 5: he bat flip to the moon the other day on
8:56
Speaker 5: his home run? Yeah? Absolutely, Like there's emotion and you
9:00
Speaker 5: even see Wilson go into the dugout and he's after
9:03
Speaker 5: he gets thrown, He's like, come on, guys, just get
9:05
Speaker 5: this guy. You guys got this guy. And I feel
9:07
Speaker 5: like he's taking this leadership role that I've never seen
9:12
Speaker 5: him take on other teams that I've been on. And
9:16
Speaker 5: he's always been a fiery guy. He's always been emotional.
9:18
Speaker 5: That has always been this thing from back when I
9:20
Speaker 5: saw him as a rookie with the Cubs. But as
9:23
Speaker 5: a leader, how does that emotion, how does that emotion
9:28
Speaker 5: play through? And you're seeing it, you know, just really
9:32
Speaker 5: culminating too much stuff here?
9:35
Speaker 2: Do you guys think that Red Sox players are starting
9:38
Speaker 2: to get tired of something popping up every day from him?
9:41
Speaker 2: I mean, it's great content to look at, right. It
9:43
Speaker 2: makes a team that's been pretty crap much more interesting.
9:48
Speaker 2: I mean, Kratz, we're leading off talking about Contreras way
9:50
Speaker 2: more than we expected. Not just Contraras, we're leading off
9:54
Speaker 2: shows talking about the Red Sox way more than we
9:56
Speaker 2: expected to. I mean, the Red Sox are full of drama.
9:58
Speaker 2: You know, they get rid of Korra, get rid of
10:00
Speaker 2: the coaching staff. The team's not playing well, right, like
10:03
Speaker 2: there's NonStop action going on up there. But Contreras is
10:07
Speaker 2: the guy. I mean, he's probably top three in our sport,
10:10
Speaker 2: if not number one in the power rankings right now
10:12
Speaker 2: in terms of movers and shakers, right Like he eats
10:15
Speaker 2: the plate for his abs and then when someone pitches inside,
10:19
Speaker 2: you might even hit the inside corner for a strike
10:21
Speaker 2: and he's like, hey, what are you doing. You're coming
10:23
Speaker 2: after me? Like that's just his game, right And some
10:26
Speaker 2: guys just I mean, we talked about Josh Naylor the
10:28
Speaker 2: other day. Some people get pissed off by him. AJ's
10:30
Speaker 2: on this show all the time. Plenty of people got
10:32
Speaker 2: pissed off by him. This is part of Wilson Contreras's game.
10:36
Speaker 2: But I do completely see what you're saying, Kratz is,
10:39
Speaker 2: do you need to basically go right up into the
10:42
Speaker 2: starting pitcher's face when you're walking off the field. We
10:44
Speaker 2: never see that that incited all of this at the
10:47
Speaker 2: beginning here.
10:49
Speaker 5: It did, but I mean, if that's what inside, I
10:52
Speaker 5: don't know if he even cited it. Kate Cavally could
10:54
Speaker 5: have been. There's a lot of pitchers that would have been.
10:57
Speaker 5: I member, Dallas Bradon, remember he got he yelled that
11:00
Speaker 5: a rod for running across his mound. Like there's certain
11:03
Speaker 5: things that like, okay, it sparks something, but it's not
11:06
Speaker 5: like Cavali came back and threw at him the next
11:09
Speaker 5: pitch and was like, don't ever get that close to
11:11
Speaker 5: me or anything like. I felt like it was calmed down.
11:14
Speaker 5: Then he yelled. Then Contreras elevated it again, and I
11:20
Speaker 5: just think there's I think there's a lot of trash
11:22
Speaker 5: talking that we never see as media. And to say,
11:26
Speaker 5: are his teammates annoyed by it? I mean, until a
11:29
Speaker 5: teammate says it, no, I would say, I have no idea.
11:32
Speaker 5: I can't. I can't answer to that. Are they annoyed
11:34
Speaker 5: that their best hitter has been out of the lineup
11:37
Speaker 5: the last two days because of his emotional choices? Yes,
11:41
Speaker 5: that's annoying unless they're all sitting there like, oh whatever,
11:44
Speaker 5: I'm just trying to get my numbers. No, they're trying
11:46
Speaker 5: to win. They swept the Yankees. They want to do good,
11:49
Speaker 5: so you need your best players out there. That would
11:52
Speaker 5: be annoying, but his emotions, No, I don't think. I
11:55
Speaker 5: wouldn't think it's annoying until I hear one of their
11:57
Speaker 5: teammates saying, like the breaks.
12:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he's their best player this year, Todd Father,
12:03
Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, I'm just going on for me.
12:06
Speaker 2: I'm like, I would love to have a guy like that,
12:08
Speaker 2: especially on a team that's got to wake up a
12:09
Speaker 2: little bit. You know, I think if Cavali even said hey,
12:13
Speaker 2: he would have been running at him.
12:14
Speaker 4: Right.
12:15
Speaker 2: I know that they have to, you know, they have
12:17
Speaker 2: their whole thing about the word boy and getting that
12:19
Speaker 2: out of his vocabulary. I got all that right, But
12:21
Speaker 2: I think even if he said hey, sit down, he
12:24
Speaker 2: was running at it like it was going to start it.
12:26
Speaker 2: Contraras is also hot right now, Like he's he's dealing,
12:29
Speaker 2: like you said, with a lot going on at home,
12:30
Speaker 2: Venezuela going through a tragedy. That's real, right, He's already
12:33
Speaker 2: a hot head. I don't think that's a secret in
12:36
Speaker 2: our sport. So if you take a hot head and
12:38
Speaker 2: then you juice him up for the week because there's
12:40
Speaker 2: stuff going on back at home and he's playing for
12:42
Speaker 2: a team that's not playing well, yeah, he's going to
12:45
Speaker 2: be the wildest man in the league right now. And
12:48
Speaker 2: that's what he is.
12:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, And if I was on his team, and yeah,
12:51
Speaker 3: I was always close to him. I just by head man,
12:53
Speaker 3: lead with example on the field. You've been doing great,
12:56
Speaker 3: you know, be our fearless leader on the field, Keep dominating,
12:59
Speaker 3: keep going out you know we love everything about that.
13:03
Speaker 3: You know, maybe just understand. You know, you got twenty
13:06
Speaker 3: five other guys in the dugout or what twenty so
13:09
Speaker 3: whatever it is, and coaches and everybody else that are
13:12
Speaker 3: looking for you to lead and be our guy. We
13:14
Speaker 3: don't need you to do anything else than that. And
13:17
Speaker 3: go out there and lead, and we're gonna follow you
13:19
Speaker 3: and ride the horse until we we meaning the Red
13:22
Speaker 3: Sox hopefully have a chance to make the playoffs, which
13:25
Speaker 3: you know they're getting better, but at the same time,
13:27
Speaker 3: they still got a ways to go.
13:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you love to see the fire. You love
13:31
Speaker 5: to see team teammates backing each other up. There's a
13:34
Speaker 5: reason we don't want to see bench clearing. And it
13:37
Speaker 5: almost could have been something terrible with Nate Eaton the.
13:43
Speaker 2: I'm not sure Nate Eaton and Miles Michaelis.
13:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't even know if he was in the game,
13:48
Speaker 5: but either way, Miles Michaelis threw Nate eaton and you
13:51
Speaker 5: see it like he like they were pushing seven, whether
13:54
Speaker 5: he threw him or tripped, and he and he landed
13:57
Speaker 5: on somebody's the side of somebody's leg. I forget which
14:00
Speaker 5: catcher it was. That could have been. That could have
14:03
Speaker 5: been the end of if it was wrong, if it
14:06
Speaker 5: was Narvaias, whoever it was, that could have been the
14:09
Speaker 5: end of their season. Because of the way they landed
14:11
Speaker 5: on his leg. It would have been a freak thing
14:15
Speaker 5: and everybody would have been like, oh.
14:16
Speaker 4: My gosh, are we serious.
14:18
Speaker 5: So it's like, how do you take that level of
14:22
Speaker 5: we're here, we're fighting, we're doing everything we can without
14:25
Speaker 5: actually being here and fighting.
14:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
14:29
Speaker 2: The only thing that I felt was wrong with Contreras
14:32
Speaker 2: is don't go right up into a picture's face, the
14:35
Speaker 2: starting pitcher's face. We don't see that, Like you said,
14:37
Speaker 2: Kratz for a reason. You want to pimp the horners,
14:39
Speaker 2: you want to do the whole dance, Oh yes, yes,
14:41
Speaker 2: throwing your helmet once we get to the brawl, I'm saying,
14:43
Speaker 2: pre brawl, people are trying to blame, like who caused it?
14:46
Speaker 5: Right?
14:46
Speaker 2: Like, and I get it. He's super offended. He doesn't
14:48
Speaker 2: want to hear, Yes, Contreras caused it. He doesn't want
14:51
Speaker 2: to hear Kate Cavali came out and he's been strong today.
14:54
Speaker 2: I couldn't sleep. I'm heartbroken. I didn't realize this word
14:57
Speaker 2: was offensive to him. Like I apologize ten times over
14:59
Speaker 2: and I get credit for that, right, and so we
15:03
Speaker 2: got that, but also like, don't start it. I mean,
15:06
Speaker 2: I think Contros wants to start it. I think he
15:08
Speaker 2: wants to get a little, get a little into it
15:11
Speaker 2: right now, and that's him. So So anyway, a lot
15:14
Speaker 2: of lessons learned here, at least some lessons learned here.
15:17
Speaker 2: And if you have thoughts on this one and you're
15:19
Speaker 2: watching it after, drop a comment for us, because, yeah,
15:22
Speaker 2: there was a lot of heat in that matchup between
15:24
Speaker 2: the Red Sox and the Nationals. Yeah, Red Sox Nationals
15:27

Speaker 6: I like watermelon and I don't like watermelon. I'll go
15:47
Speaker 6: raspberry and it helps me to get my citrus salt in.
15:51
Speaker 6: But if I do, it helps me to get back

16:31
Speaker 2: lost six in a row. They're twelve and fourteen in June.
16:33
Speaker 2: It's the regular June soon. I'm not even worried about this,
16:35
Speaker 2: and I know Schlitler had, you know, as worst started
16:37
Speaker 2: the year, Schooble looked great for the Tigers. Wait, hold up.
16:41
Speaker 2: The part that stood out to me yesterday was Aaron
16:44
Speaker 2: Boone going, Judge is weeks away from follow up reimaging,
16:48
Speaker 2: weeks away from follow up reimaging. Like, let's call that
16:51
Speaker 2: a month. It's July first go ways to go, like
16:55
Speaker 2: we're looking at I mean probably mid August, maybe late August,
16:58
Speaker 2: Like it's if imaging good?
17:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, where do I start here? It just it seemed
17:06
Speaker 3: like they were doing okay. They took two or three
17:09
Speaker 3: from Detroit and Detroit and then they lost two at
17:13
Speaker 3: of three from the Reds and you're like, what is
17:15
Speaker 3: what's up?
17:15
Speaker 4: And now it's just it's just going haywire here. Man.
17:19
Speaker 3: They can't hit their their biggest horse is getting hit
17:24
Speaker 3: around right now. Yeah, you know, I had the last
17:26
Speaker 3: two starts have been not his best, Garrett Coles leaving
17:30
Speaker 3: pitchers out over the middle of the plate. Weather's had
17:32
Speaker 3: a bad outing. He's been a plus for the Yankees,
17:36
Speaker 3: rod down a little bit like usually it was the bullpen.
17:39
Speaker 3: Now it seems like everybody is chipping in here for
17:43
Speaker 3: you know, not doing so well. So when the Yankees
17:46
Speaker 3: go bad, it seems like these last couple of years
17:48
Speaker 3: it's been really bad. When they go good, it seems
17:50
Speaker 3: like it's been really good. There's no happy medium. They
17:53
Speaker 3: need their big guns back. Bellinger's struggling.
17:57
Speaker 4: Man. That's one guy too.
17:58
Speaker 3: Ben Rice has done okay, you know we need him
18:01
Speaker 3: back on the snide. You can go up and down
18:03
Speaker 3: the lineup, you know, No, Ryan McMahon, John Carlos Stanton,
18:07
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. You know, I don't know. I can't pinpoint
18:12
Speaker 3: where it is, but I know it seems like everybody
18:15
Speaker 3: is factoring inn in these losses.
18:16
Speaker 4: And it's just it. They're going down a spile right
18:19
Speaker 4: now that they need to figure out. All right.
18:29
Speaker 2: So Mets owner Steve Cohen is going public with comments
18:33
Speaker 2: since the Carlos Mendoza firing in a tumultuous season for
18:37
Speaker 2: the Mets, and he spoke to Joel Sherman and John
18:40
Speaker 2: Hayman from the New York Post and he said, Hey,
18:43
Speaker 2: David Stearns is not going out anywhere. He is going
18:45
Speaker 2: to live out the remainder of his five year contract.
18:49
Speaker 2: This would be back to back years of missing the
18:51
Speaker 2: postseason for the Mets unless something crazy goes on, it
18:54
Speaker 2: looks like they're going to be sellers. So he confirmed
18:58
Speaker 2: that they're going to figure out what changes to be made,
19:00
Speaker 2: but it is not going to be the president of
19:02
Speaker 2: Baseball Operations. I don't know if it's ever been publicized,
19:06
Speaker 2: but I think the rumored contract is five years, fifty
19:09
Speaker 2: million bucks. And I know that's a drop in the
19:12
Speaker 2: bucket for a billionaire, but that's that's a really, really
19:16
Speaker 2: big baseball operations salary right there. That's no joke. So
19:23
Speaker 2: Todd father, David Sterns is going to have a chance
19:26
Speaker 2: to turn this around for you know, another couple of
19:28
Speaker 2: years with the Mets, right, I believe Kratz this would
19:31
Speaker 2: be after this year. Two years left, So if you
19:34
Speaker 2: go three years ago, right, and so we're in twenty
19:37
Speaker 2: twenty six, twenty five, they missed twenty four, the Mets
19:40
Speaker 2: made it to the NLCS and everyone's like Sterns took over,
19:42
Speaker 2: he's a genius, and two years since they look like crap.
19:45
Speaker 2: So two more years to figure this out after this year.
19:48
Speaker 2: Let's start here, Todd father, do you agree with this?
19:51
Speaker 2: And there's layers to this, do you agree not just
19:54
Speaker 2: on one more year, but it sounds like he's going
19:55
Speaker 2: to get two more years even if they stink again
19:58
Speaker 2: next year.
20:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think if you're going, you gotta lay the
20:03
Speaker 3: law down. And then what I mean by to say,
20:05
Speaker 3: it's like you either got to have you guys back
20:08
Speaker 3: or not. And I think, honestly, this is what he
20:11
Speaker 3: should do. If he really believes in Sterns, this is
20:13
Speaker 3: what you should do. Give him a little peace of mind,
20:16
Speaker 3: you know, whether you agree or not. And I think
20:19
Speaker 3: he does. I think he does. I don't think he's
20:20
Speaker 3: a liar. I think he I think he deserves one
20:23
Speaker 3: more year.
20:24
Speaker 4: I do. I do.
20:25
Speaker 3: But in New York it's a what have you done
20:26
Speaker 3: for me lately? Place in the Northeast, what have you
20:30
Speaker 3: done for me lately? Yeah, And Bowden said the best
20:34
Speaker 3: man Bowden, he said, listen to the love you. They
20:36
Speaker 3: hate you, and right now there's not much love going on.
20:39
Speaker 4: In clean in Queen. So you know, honestly, I would
20:44
Speaker 4: give him another year.
20:46
Speaker 3: See how that goes, even if he has another year
20:48
Speaker 3: on the contract, Like you said, if that doesn't transpire,
20:51
Speaker 3: then maybe it's time to move on. So again, if
20:54
Speaker 3: you're Stevie Cohen, make sure your guy knows that you
20:57
Speaker 3: have his back. It just right now, it's just not
21:00
Speaker 3: looking good for these this Mets team. It's just been
21:03
Speaker 3: a debacle. So again somebody has to be has to
21:06
Speaker 3: get the finger pointed at, and right now it's him.
21:09
Speaker 3: But again, to hear that from from the top dog,
21:13
Speaker 3: it's got to make you feel good if you're Sterns.
21:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's definitely He's given them the vote of confidence.
21:19
Speaker 5: Maybe that's the dreaded vote of confidence. And when they
21:22
Speaker 5: say two more years, like if they do this again
21:25
Speaker 5: next year, they had the same type of offseason again
21:28
Speaker 5: next year. Yeah, you're you're you're probably not going to
21:31
Speaker 5: see him in his fifth season, like you they'll pay
21:34
Speaker 5: him out through that time. But to me, I am
21:38
Speaker 5: a David Sterns proponent. I saw what he did. I
21:42
Speaker 5: saw how he interacted. I saw the people that he
21:44
Speaker 5: hired underneath him. Matt Arnold is now running the is
21:49
Speaker 5: now running the front office with the Brewers and doing
21:52
Speaker 5: really well. I saw, you know, Pat Murphy was one
21:55
Speaker 5: of the hirings that he had. Craig Counsel was one
21:58
Speaker 5: of the higher Like these are guys that I really
22:00
Speaker 5: respect in the game, how they handle players and how
22:04
Speaker 5: they handle different things. It hasn't worked out in New York.
22:07
Speaker 5: If there's somebody that would turn it around, in my opinion,
22:11
Speaker 5: it would be a David Stearns. And that might not
22:14
Speaker 5: be a very a very popular thing to say right now,
22:20
Speaker 5: but I think he's also a guy who, while he's
22:24
Speaker 5: stubborn on what he thinks is the best for the game,
22:29
Speaker 5: I think he is also really good at being introspective
22:32
Speaker 5: and looking to say, Okay, why is this not working?
22:35
Speaker 5: What if I had signed Corbyn Burns like every fan
22:38
Speaker 5: wanted me to. Okay, well that hasn't worked out. Okay,
22:41
Speaker 5: what if I signed Ranger Swarz. I think I mean
22:45
Speaker 5: Max Free. There's a lot of Max Freed's hurt, Ranger
22:48
Speaker 5: swaz is having a good year. What if? There's a
22:50
Speaker 5: lot of what ifs. But he's a guy that looks
22:53
Speaker 5: at his processes and he encourages the people around him
22:57
Speaker 5: to question him. And what that it looks like in
23:00
Speaker 5: the end, is what the Brewers have. The Brewers didn't
23:04
Speaker 5: happen in three years. The Brewers happened over a certain
23:08
Speaker 5: amount of years. And I think David Stearns can turn
23:11
Speaker 5: this around. I really do.
23:14
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, And you just have to learn quickly from
23:16
Speaker 2: your mistakes. That's the thing. Like the off season did
23:18
Speaker 2: not work out for them, that's very obvious. And also
23:21
Speaker 2: just massive amounts of inconsistency usually leads to a problem.
23:25
Speaker 2: You need some focus here. You can't gut the staff,
23:27
Speaker 2: cut the roster. You have to settle down a little bit.
23:31
Speaker 2: I think that's a thing right that anyone can observe.
23:33
Speaker 2: You can't just have a total upheaval and then it's
23:35
Speaker 2: all going to work in five minutes.
23:38
Speaker 5: Totally. But I also would say Stevie Cohen may have
23:43
Speaker 5: a little bit more of a hand in this, like
23:48
Speaker 5: how much I just don't see David Stern saying and
23:51
Speaker 5: maybe this isn't the case. Well, the Phillies are going
23:54
Speaker 5: to get Bobachett. We need to get Bobachett. We didn't
23:57
Speaker 5: just get Kyle Tucker. He spurned us for the Dodgers. Crap.
24:03
Speaker 5: We need to pivot. I would love a light detector
24:06
Speaker 5: test on David Stearns and Stevie Cohen that that was
24:12
Speaker 5: not a panic move. And I'm not saying that's what's
24:15
Speaker 5: ruined this offseason. I think it's been how they developed
24:19
Speaker 5: the team and the way that guys have stayed healthy
24:20
Speaker 5: and the kind of you know, they've just they flipped
24:24
Speaker 5: some coins, I think, and it's coming up the wrong
24:27
Speaker 5: way both times.
24:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, and guys out of position. The whole deal. A

25:29
Speaker 2: you to see geek better than box scores. There's a
25:39
Speaker 2: few other notables from Tuesday's games. Cooper Engle just got
25:45
Speaker 2: to the show and he had the epic story crowds
25:48
Speaker 2: that we went over the other day where they're knocking
25:50
Speaker 2: on the door and he's like, huh, who's knocking room service? No,
25:55
Speaker 2: is your manager. They want you to go to the show.
25:58
Speaker 2: He threw a bomb in the stands. He didn't nomine
26:00
Speaker 2: there were He was like all right, ending over and
26:02
Speaker 2: the rangers were like, thanks, we'll take the run. I mean,
26:05
Speaker 2: you get it out of the way. Early in the career,
26:07
Speaker 2: he's never going to do that again, right, like paint
26:10
Speaker 2: the picture for me, krats twelve years from now he's
26:14
Speaker 2: still in the bigs. Is he still thinking about that?
26:18
Speaker 2: Like every time? Like how many outs?
26:20
Speaker 4: Okay?
26:22
Speaker 5: I mean it becomes a habit that. Look, he's gonna
26:25
Speaker 5: forget the outs again? Is he gonna throw the ball
26:28
Speaker 5: into the stands? Absolutely not.
26:31
Speaker 4: He won't.
26:32
Speaker 5: And I think that's why some of the guys, some
26:34
Speaker 5: of the catchers throw it to the first basement. As
26:37
Speaker 5: they're running in for the third out, They're like, you
26:40
Speaker 5: forgot like people forget the outs, like they give the hole.
26:45
Speaker 5: They give the whole like two steps off and then
26:47
Speaker 5: everyone's like, oh, we got two here, so you gotta
26:52
Speaker 5: brush it off. Like I man, he's never gonna forget it.
26:56
Speaker 5: Let's put it that way. Do you ever do it? No?
27:02
Speaker 4: No, I never. I'm I usually look around person. No,
27:09
Speaker 4: I never threw the ball. Oh sure, sure it's happened before.
27:14
Speaker 3: But when I do want to throw them, bustid I
27:16
Speaker 3: always just take a second look to make sure I
27:18
Speaker 3: was one hundred percent right.
27:20
Speaker 4: Never never done that before. But who was it? Todd Benzinger,
27:26
Speaker 4: remember him?
27:26
Speaker 3: He caught the ball at the end of winning World
27:28
Speaker 3: Series against the A's when he was with the Reds.
27:30
Speaker 3: He caught the foul ball and he looked around to
27:32
Speaker 3: double check because he wasn't one hundred percent sure.
27:35
Speaker 4: But yeah, it just it was a bonehead play. What
27:39
Speaker 4: are you gonna do?
27:41
Speaker 2: Mhm?
27:43
Speaker 5: Everybody's everybody's human, even rookies.
27:46
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's get to it.
27:48
Speaker 2: Vetteran sandal Contra and the Marlins really having the best
27:53
Speaker 2: month in baseball. So twenty and six is how they
27:57
Speaker 2: wrapped it up, outscoring opponents one twenty nine to seventy eight.
28:02
Speaker 2: Lowest CBT payroll in baseball. This is Jeff Passon's tweet.
28:06
Speaker 2: Third highest paid player on the payroll is John Carlos Stanton.
28:12
Speaker 2: He has not been on the Marlins since twenty seventeen.
28:15
Speaker 2: Sandale Contre was talked about if you want to see
28:17
Speaker 2: more too, We did a nice combo with Isaaca Zude
28:20
Speaker 2: from Fish on first part of the FT Network for
28:22
Speaker 2: Tuesday's show, So that podcast is out already too if
28:25
Speaker 2: you want to listen to it audio wise. But for Sandy,
28:28
Speaker 2: I mean the era he went undefeated in June, the
28:32
Speaker 2: ra was low twos, low to mid twos, and he
28:35
Speaker 2: was not good in May. So you get a little
28:37
Speaker 2: bit of that. You get the offense clicking at the
28:38
Speaker 2: right time, and all of a sudden you can be
28:40
Speaker 2: in the wildcard picture. I mean, Todd Father. With the
28:43
Speaker 2: way the American League's been this year, the Marlins would
28:45
Speaker 2: have probably been the best team in the American League.
28:47
Speaker 2: They're just in the wrong league right now. National League
28:50
Speaker 2: is much better than the AL but they're in it.
28:52
Speaker 2: They've got a more than a fighter's chances. We're past
28:55
Speaker 2: the halfway mark and they're just hitting their stride.
28:59
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think this is the I wouldn't want
29:02
Speaker 3: to say a problem, but having three three teams being
29:08
Speaker 3: able to make it if if you don't win your
29:11
Speaker 3: division makes it very interesting for some people. For some teams,
29:16
Speaker 3: I should say. Now, these teams that are sellers, usually
29:19
Speaker 3: at the at the trade deadline, are like, well, maybe
29:23
Speaker 3: we want to keep going here, we're battling, we're a
29:25
Speaker 3: good team, and then maybe it's false hope, maybe it's not.
29:29
Speaker 3: So that's where as an organization you got to come
29:32
Speaker 3: and realize, like, what are we really doing here? And
29:34
Speaker 3: to have al Contera come back and be dominant and
29:37
Speaker 3: be the be the Sandy that we know.
29:40
Speaker 4: I love watching him pitch.
29:41
Speaker 3: I love watching him play, and every time he's on
29:43
Speaker 3: the mount, it seems like they're gonna win. And you
29:46
Speaker 3: know he's he's got player of the month status right,
29:48
Speaker 3: pretty much wrapped up in my opinion for the pitcher.
29:51
Speaker 3: So good for the Marlins man, let's go, let's keep
29:54
Speaker 3: this rocking. It's like the White Sox. You know, these
29:56
Speaker 3: teams that are coming out of the woodworks and that
29:59
Speaker 3: don't have a big payroll and they're doing their thing parody.
30:02
Speaker 3: We've talked about this numerous times with Bruce Bruce Meyer.
30:06
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, it's it's crazy to think, oh, the
30:10
Speaker 3: Marlins are good. Yeah, well guess what, they're playing hard
30:12
Speaker 3: and they got a good little team.
30:14
Speaker 5: Nobody takes their wallet up to the batter's box, so
30:17
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what you're getting paid when you're competing
30:20
Speaker 5: against the other team. But my question to you guys is,
30:23
Speaker 5: or more to you TOADD, which team do you think
30:26
Speaker 5: is better? The Marlins or the White Sox. Completely different leagues,
30:31
Speaker 5: but two teams that are built completely different and they're
30:35
Speaker 5: both almost identical. Records the White Sox are forty five
30:39
Speaker 5: and thirty nine, and I think the we just said
30:42
Speaker 5: to Marlin's up there, they're forty whatever, forty six and
30:47
Speaker 5: forty I think records.
30:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I that question. I think they answer that question.
30:54
Speaker 3: You got to look at the division and for me,
30:58
Speaker 3: how many teams in the AL Central are gonna make it?
31:01
Speaker 3: How many teams in the NL East are gonna make it?
31:03
Speaker 3: So you know that battle and who are the better
31:07
Speaker 3: teams in that division.
31:09
Speaker 4: I think the better.
31:10
Speaker 3: Teams are in the Al East, in my opinion, So
31:14
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be harder for the Marlins, but
31:17
Speaker 3: in l least and at least and at least, excuse me,
31:19
Speaker 3: in the Al Central. I I you know, I what
31:23
Speaker 3: what did aj Hinch stead? He still thinks his team's
31:26
Speaker 3: got a little beauzzz I I still don't see them
31:29
Speaker 3: making the playoffs this year. So I you know, I
31:32
Speaker 3: think they're going on a nice little flow here. You know,
31:34
Speaker 3: they're doing well, and that's part of baseball, and school's
31:37
Speaker 3: doing well. The Guardians are good. You know, the Guardians
31:41
Speaker 3: are good. The White Sox are good. I think those
31:43
Speaker 3: two are going to be battling. So I would say
31:45
Speaker 3: the White Sox right now.
31:47
Speaker 5: Are the better team.
31:48
Speaker 4: You're saying right now, right now, I would say some See.
31:51
Speaker 5: I thought you were the whole all your explanation. I
31:53
Speaker 5: thought you were going to agree with me. I think
31:55
Speaker 5: the Marlins are the better team because they have to
31:57
Speaker 5: play better competition. I think the White Socks may end
32:00
Speaker 5: up in a better situation, but I think the Marlins.
32:04
Speaker 3: And that's why I'm saying so, I probably didn't answer
32:07
Speaker 3: your question correctly, But I think it's gonna be easier
32:10
Speaker 3: for the White.
32:11
Speaker 4: Sox, gotcha, got you, guys, I would.
32:14
Speaker 3: Say Marlins are the better team. So I was going
32:16
Speaker 3: by division only, so excuse me on that. But yes,
32:18
Speaker 3: I would say Marlins. Sorry, Okay, White Sox might have
32:22
Speaker 3: the easier opportunity, is what I meant to say.
32:25
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it just made me think about because
32:27
Speaker 5: Scott was like, what if the Marlins were in the
32:29
Speaker 5: American League, And I was like, I bet their record
32:31
Speaker 5: is very close to the White Sox, And I'm like, yes,
32:34
Speaker 5: and I look at this team, I watch him, and
32:35
Speaker 5: I'm like, I like the Marlins way better than I like.
32:40
Speaker 5: I mean, you could. You can give me everybody every
32:42
Speaker 5: picture on the White Sox staff, and I'm gonna take
32:44
Speaker 5: Max Meyer over every like you. I really like Max Meyer.
32:48
Speaker 5: I really like the fact that what al Contra is doing. Like,
32:51
Speaker 5: I just think there's there's more to like about the
32:54
Speaker 5: Marlins than there's the White Sox. And yet one is
32:57
Speaker 5: in a division lead and kind of got a good
33:00
Speaker 5: hold on the playoff spot, and the other one is
33:03
Speaker 5: clawing and fighting in the Marlins.
33:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a look at the AL Central standings, they're
33:09
Speaker 2: too clear of Cleveland, and then there's some more solid
33:12
Speaker 2: separation after that in the AL Central. H quick moment
33:16
Speaker 2: here before he moved the next topic to NL Central.
33:19
Speaker 2: I just remember this from yesterday. P Carl Armstrong confirmed
33:22
Speaker 2: to media he's not down for the home run Derby.
33:24
Speaker 2: If he got asked, he wouldn't necessarily be asked. I
33:26
Speaker 2: don't think you know, he's the guy you think of
33:30
Speaker 2: when you go home run Derby. Give me five guys
33:32
Speaker 2: need to see or ten guys you need to see.
33:34
Speaker 2: He's got pop. He's been one of the best players
33:36
Speaker 2: in the sport in the first half. He's he probably
33:39
Speaker 2: at this point would finish second for MVP in the
33:43
Speaker 2: National League if it ended today. Kratz based on the
33:46
Speaker 2: base running in the I mean he's leading in war,
33:48
Speaker 2: and we know a lot of people vote on War.
33:50
Speaker 2: He's leading in more so he'd Derby.
33:54
Speaker 5: I'd like to see him in the home run Derby
33:56
Speaker 5: going and catching the fly balls in center field, like
33:58
Speaker 5: just make him go around and like rob homes and stuff.
34:00
Speaker 5: That would be sick.
34:02
Speaker 2: That's whereby that.
34:04
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, been a part of that. That's a lot
34:07
Speaker 4: of fun.
34:09
Speaker 3: Do you think there's a lot of people that are
34:12
Speaker 3: saying no to the home run derby now, like as
34:13
Speaker 3: we're getting closer here, like it shouldn't the field be
34:17
Speaker 3: set pretty much close to being said. I know they
34:19
Speaker 3: put the money money towards it and everything. I know
34:22
Speaker 3: some guys are waiting to see if they'll be on
34:24
Speaker 3: the stars.
34:25
Speaker 5: No, yeah, I think that's where we're less.
34:29
Speaker 4: We're less than two weeks. No, I know.
34:31
Speaker 2: I mean Junior Camenaar is the only one that's confirmed
34:33
Speaker 2: so far. But I think it's two different questions. I mean,
34:37
Speaker 2: for me, it is early, so it's not long. You're
34:39
Speaker 2: going to get the whole field two weeks before. But
34:42
Speaker 2: Todd Father, I do think there are.
34:44
Speaker 4: A little bit. I think we're pressing.
34:46
Speaker 3: We got less than two weeks, bro, Come on, there's
34:49
Speaker 3: no you guys warm up you know before games. Oh
34:53
Speaker 3: look at you want to assess. But it's hitting on
34:55
Speaker 3: the field. What is VP thrower?
34:57
Speaker 4: I don't know.
34:58
Speaker 3: I hope they get some. I hope they get some
35:01
Speaker 3: dudes out there, you know what I mean?
35:02
Speaker 5: So that well, that's what I think. I think those
35:05
Speaker 5: dudes are waiting. I think those dudes are waiting. I
35:08
Speaker 5: think I think what That's why I asked Christian what
35:11
Speaker 5: he thought, Like, Hey, if if I don't get into
35:14
Speaker 5: the All Star Game, I don't want to go do it.
35:16
Speaker 5: So I think there's more on that. So I think
35:18
Speaker 5: some dudes are waiting for the final final vote tallies.
35:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, OK, there's marketing strategy to this, right, I mean,
35:26
Speaker 2: at least one of Schwarber Harper's going to participate. They're
35:30
Speaker 2: probably going to announce that closer to time so that
35:33
Speaker 2: it serves as its own ad. Basically, hey, tune into
35:37
Speaker 2: the derby. They should both do it. I agree. I
35:40
Speaker 2: do think there was some way to what Christian Walker
35:43
Speaker 2: was saying, though Todd Fither it doesn't matter if you
35:44
Speaker 2: agree or not. He's like, eh, it's not as sexy
35:46
Speaker 2: as it used to be. If he's saying that this
35:48
Speaker 2: guy who's been in the league for a while, he's
35:49
Speaker 2: been you know, around stars. He is a big star
35:52
Speaker 2: in the sport, right like or I mean not the
35:55
Speaker 2: not maybe the most known name, but one of the
35:57
Speaker 2: better first basemen in our sport and a power hitting guy.
35:59
Speaker 4: And he's like, change they change it. I mean it
36:05
Speaker 4: just I don't know.
36:07
Speaker 3: I'm like in between on it like, all of a sudden,
36:10
Speaker 3: we're going to change it again. I've been a part
36:14
Speaker 3: of three different ones. It's like, you know, I like
36:18
Speaker 3: the time, I thought that was great. You know, I
36:20
Speaker 3: thought that was I think the only problem with that
36:23
Speaker 3: is I think fans want.
36:25
Speaker 4: To see the ball, how far it goes and where.
36:27
Speaker 3: Which is understandable. So okay, you want to limit it
36:31
Speaker 3: to certain amount of swings, fine, okay, but you know
36:35
Speaker 3: that goes back to the time where you know, you
36:38
Speaker 3: get ten swings, So why not if he hit the
36:40
Speaker 3: home or keep it right? You know, Like I don't know,
36:42
Speaker 3: So it's all about let's hurry up and then let's
36:48
Speaker 3: watch bull you know what I mean, Like, all of
36:51
Speaker 3: a sudden, I don't know what the answer is, so
36:53
Speaker 3: I'm complaining with no answer.
36:55
Speaker 4: So that doesn't help either. But just still we're on
36:57
Speaker 4: the topic.
36:58
Speaker 3: It's like, all right, well now twenty fifty fifteen, Like
37:01
Speaker 3: who comes up with this stuff?
37:02
Speaker 4: It's crazy.
37:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun to watch, but yeah, you want to
37:08
Speaker 2: see the big boys that are in the derby one
37:12
Speaker 2: more thing and better than box scores. Just a little
37:14
Speaker 2: tweak to the best player in the world, and when
37:16
Speaker 2: he's going to pitch. He was supposed to start today,
37:18
Speaker 2: actually Wednesday against the A's. They're pushing him to Friday
37:22
Speaker 2: against the Padres, little divisional matchup for show. Hey, and
37:27
Speaker 2: also congrats to Dave Roberts one thousandth win as a manager.
37:31
Speaker 2: And there were more Dodgers fans than other fans? Is
37:34
Speaker 2: he fastest?
37:34
Speaker 4: Ever?
37:35
Speaker 2: I didn't see that, that's what it said. Maybe you
37:37
Speaker 2: might be right. Someone will have an answer for me
37:39
Speaker 2: in five seconds. But there were more Dodger fans and
37:43
Speaker 2: Sacramento than A's fans, So yes, fast as ever. They
37:46
Speaker 2: were celebrating a little bit on the field. He gave
37:48
Speaker 2: a tip of the cap.
37:51
Speaker 5: Shocker in our chat who answered that Homer.
37:57
Speaker 2: It's Clint, one of our Dodgers tech Tory hosts a
38:01
Speaker 2: little over sixteen hundred games to do the job. Yes,
38:04
Speaker 2: and it is his job. All right, let's slap, all right,
38:16
Speaker 2: it's mouth keeping. We do a YouTube pollet almost every day,
38:19
Speaker 2: and we said who's to blame for the Nationals red
38:21
Speaker 2: Sox incident last night? Sixty percent said Wilson Contreras, versus
38:24
Speaker 2: the forty percent for Kate Kowali. Also on tomorrow's show,
38:28
Speaker 2: Guardians Starter Parker Messik will be joining us the Rookie.
38:32
Speaker 2: He's in the Rookie of the Year running the Great Combo,
38:35
Speaker 2: and he should be an All Star too, So I'm
38:37
Speaker 2: looking forward to that one. Kratz hats, what do you
38:39
Speaker 2: have for us?
38:41
Speaker 4: I mean, why not?
38:43
Speaker 5: We had our guy on so I got to wear
38:44
Speaker 5: the Astros hat. Hey, they're in it. We didn't even
38:47
Speaker 5: really ask him about being in the playoff chase or not,
38:49
Speaker 5: because I don't like asking players that. Of course they're
38:52
Speaker 5: in the playoff chase. Everybody thinks they're in a playoff chase.
38:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going to go. And I really like
38:58
Speaker 2: our chances this year.
