0:16
Welcome back to the Three O Take presented by Chinook.
0:18
Cedry, this is episode 544. I'll be your host, Kyle Corwin.
0:22
I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes.
0:28
Nate. KC How are we dog?
0:40
Quick update on the MVPO 5 dynasty might.
0:45
Have to call this dead. Might have to end this segment
0:47
if you don't get a freaking dubs.
0:49
Have yet have yet to get a win. I believe we are O.
0:55
We're O and 10 now I believe Nolan Ryan crapped his pants yet
1:02
again. So I said you're out of here.
1:05
Shipped him out, got him in a got pool holes in a trade and I
1:12
shipped out. I shipped out somebody else and
1:15
I got, I got Mickey Mantle. I don't remember who I traded.
1:20
I, I was trading in a blind rage.
1:22
I was just mashing proposed trade, proposed trade, proposed
1:25
trade. I don't remember who was
1:27
involved. All I know is our team is like I
1:30
think our our dynasty has like 100,000 in the bank to work with
1:35
so. Yeah, just emptying it out.
1:38
Yeah. I don't know what to say.
1:44
I don't know how to advise you at this point.
1:46
Can you change the settings? Or I can, but I I don't, I'm not
1:49
going to do that. That's that, that's.
1:52
All where is? Where do we draw the line?
1:54
We're going to talk about integrity on this show and 20.
1:57
I don't whatever it takes to to ensure that I don't.
2:02
I don't finish with the worst record in in Major League
2:05
history. I'm I'm essentially chasing the
2:07
Rockies right now is what I'm doing.
2:09
As I mentioned, that's what I'm doing.
2:11
So just giving you a little quick update there not not good
2:15
news to to write home about I. Don't think we need to check
2:20
back in until the dub happens. That's fair.
2:25
Yeah, I can agree to that. I'll agree to that.
2:29
Story until and I'm going to be concerned if it's not before our
2:33
trip. I, I, Yeah, I agree to that.
2:40
Yeah. You will not hear from me about
2:41
my MVP team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, featuring ace Bob Gibson.
2:46
Good. Until we get a win.
2:49
Good. O and 10.
2:52
You want socks and ball. Sure, why not?
2:55
That's why we socks, socks and ball.
2:58
Let's start with sort of a little juicy, little juicy topic
3:02
off the top. And I mentioned integrity.
3:05
Integrity is going to be a, a vital role to this segment.
3:09
And I don't think even you have any idea as to what I'm
3:12
referring to, but we're going to let's talk this Jazz Chisholm
3:17
thing. Nate, I, I got to be honest with
3:21
you, I'm at a point. I'm at a point now where I can
3:28
safely say I'm, I'm out. I'm out on on jazz.
3:33
I tried. I really did.
3:34
I really tried. When were you ever close to
3:37
being in? Pre Yankees days, obviously like
3:41
I I, I try to make an effort I did, but I'm like I'm officially
3:47
out. Whether he stays with the
3:48
Yankees, he signs an extension. Whether I mean, and I don't even
3:54
know that the Yankees would would offer him an extension.
3:56
But if they did and he decided to say they're I'm still out.
3:59
If he goes to another team, I'm still out.
4:03
I can't do it anymore. I can't, I can't deal with the
4:07
theatrics. I can't deal with the over the
4:10
top showmanship and bringing it back to the integrity point.
4:16
This is what I have to say, not that he would ever hear any of
4:21
this anyway, but if for whatever reason caught wind of of me
4:28
announcing the fact that I'm I'm kind of out on him.
4:33
I don't want to be subjected to screenshots because I know that
4:38
that's what that's the kind of guy Jazz Chism is.
4:40
If if he's got receipts and if you come at him is is very like
4:44
Marcus Stroman esque in that way.
4:48
Yeah, he keeps receipts. You know he keeps receipts.
4:52
No one's like Marcus Drummond on that way.
4:54
Yeah, that's, hey, you know what?
4:56
That's. No one's in that camp.
5:05
That's a one-on-one. That's on me.
5:08
I'll take that. Sorry.
5:10
I was getting a little ahead of myself, but I just wanted to get
5:12
out in front of this because I don't like I want to be free and
5:17
clear to to say this and I just I need to get this out of the
5:20
way. OK.
5:21
So yes, for those that don't know, years ago we we did like
5:31
like outside of the merch that we just had like we have now,
5:33
like years ago, we sort of dabbled in like the team
5:36
specific stuff. Did I say free and queer?
5:42
No, I said free and clear. Thanks, I've lost my train of
5:49
thought. I what was I saying?
5:51
Oh, we did the merch. We did like team specific stuff.
5:54
And so one of the things that we did Oh, Major League quote.
5:59
OK, I I OK, I get the reference now.
6:01
I was wondering if I actually said it.
6:04
I'll get to my point eventually. So we, we did team specific
6:09
stuff and at the time Jazz was like stop, stop with the put in
6:13
your head, the, your head in your hand.
6:15
I'm getting there. We did one specific for Jazz and
6:18
it was very simple. It was Miami themed colors, the
6:21
Miami Vice theme. It just said you like Jazz.
6:24
And so I, I put it out on the shop did pretty well.
6:27
I sent it, I, I messaged Jazz and I said, actually, let me
6:32
just pull it up, 'cause I don't, I don't want him to speak here.
6:37
I said, hey man, this was April 17th, 2021.
6:40
I said, hey man, can we send you a shirt?
6:42
He said send it to the stadium. I said I got you.
6:45
He said what size you need. Out of out of respect to him,
6:51
I'll I'll refrain from sharing what size he requested.
6:55
I'm going to say medium. I'm going to guess.
6:59
I said I said. I said good deal man, appreciate
7:03
it, keep it up. And I then I sent him a a
7:06
message in May. I said if anyone wants to know
7:08
where they can get the shirt, just point him to us.
7:10
Ha ha laughing emoji. Appreciate you men.
7:14
July that year, 2021, I said, hey Jazz, let me know if you've
7:17
got 30 minutes to hop on the pod.
7:18
If you've got any downtime during your IL stint, we'd love
7:22
to have you on and I know our listeners would love to hear
7:24
from you. Didn't hear anything.
7:28
Followed up in August. I'll followed up in August.
7:32
Players do this to us, so I feel like.
7:34
Not a lot. There's a there's a few that I'm
7:36
not going to, I'm not going to name names.
7:38
I'm only doing this because it's jazz.
7:39
But outside of jazz, there's only been a few Truly, truly to
7:45
the point where I've like made initial contact.
7:47
There's guys sure guys all the time will just not even respond.
7:50
But jazz like had responded to me in August.
7:54
I said jazz when you coming on the pod, man, our listeners want
7:57
you on laughing emoji and that was it.
8:02
So again, if, if this ever caught wind of like, oh, like
8:07
the guy who wanted me on the podcast years ago is coming
8:10
after me, I just want to get that out in the open.
8:12
So now I can, I can say that this whole, this whole tag
8:18
thing, don't tell me that. Well, first of all, don't tell
8:23
me that you're, you're OK with this response.
8:28
Dude, come on. This was this was well over the
8:30
top. I'll get to my thoughts, I mean.
8:34
I OK, well, I've talked long enough.
8:36
We can come back, interject, interject with your thoughts.
8:40
What do you got? I, I don't think it's that big
8:43
of a deal. I think I mean it goes back to
8:45
last year and that's what the whole, you know, Michael,
8:48
Michael Garcia stuff has come to and there's been a few different
8:53
collisions. Obviously one of those being
8:55
like benches clearing incident. You know, I can see where like
9:11
Michael Garcia probably would have gotten upset with like the
9:13
Volpe tag last year. But as far as like this Jazz 1,
9:20
I don't know. I mean it like the helmet comes
9:23
off. It's a bang, bang play.
9:27
Like I I don't think you really like in the moment fully can see
9:33
what's going on if your helmet is like over your eyes, like you
9:35
don't, you don't know if that's a knee.
9:37
You don't know if it's like A tag, you don't.
9:39
It's just like it happened so fast.
9:41
So I think he probably just misinterpreted what occurred and
9:47
then those were his comments. So like, I don't know if he got
9:51
a chance, has like since gotten a chance to like review and like
9:55
actually look at the replay and be like, Oh yeah, like this was
9:59
clearly like incidental. And he but that's to my point.
10:03
Do you think Jazz is going to be the kind of guy that comes out
10:05
and it's like, hey, that's, that's that's my bad.
10:08
That's my bad. Let's keep playing ball.
10:09
I think if it was anyone else except Michael Garcia, then yes.
10:13
But the fact that it is Michael Garcia and the fact that there
10:16
has been a little bit of history and one of those being in the
10:20
the LDS, like maybe that's where this is coming from.
10:27
I think if it was anyone else on the field that was wearing a
10:30
Royals uniform, this would have been fine.
10:34
I don't know. I don't, I feel like this.
10:36
I don't even know why it's being talked about this much like I
10:38
watched it live. Well, it was the like, it was
10:41
the response, man. Like it's, it's just, it's so
10:45
unnecessary. It's so like fake tough guy.
10:48
He gets up and for some reason starts talking to his to the
10:53
third base coach. What?
10:57
What's his face? Rojas, right.
10:59
Yeah, He he's talking to him. He looks at him and he's like,
11:02
I'm going to tell you one more time.
11:04
As if like this was a continuation of a conversation
11:08
they were having in the dugout or something.
11:10
It was, I don't know, it was a weird thing to say.
11:11
I'm going to I'm going to tell you one more time.
11:13
If he slaps me like that again, I'm going to I'm going to slap
11:17
the F out of him. I'm like, what a like what a
11:21
cornball thing to say. And it's just this isn't like an
11:24
isolated event. And I think that's why it's
11:26
getting talked about is because Jazz has moments like this where
11:29
it like the whole free smoke thing the other day that he put
11:32
on his story. And then I think like he's had
11:35
moments like this where it's the fake tough guy thing.
11:37
And then he'll proceed to go like over 4 or he'll go on a run
11:41
where he he goes like 2 for 18 or something like that.
11:46
To your point, it it happened so fast that for Michael Garcia to
11:51
slap him that hard, that would imply that Jazz Chisholm was
11:54
slow enough to the point where Michael Garcia was quick had
11:58
enough time to receive the ball, lift the glove up to create
12:02
force of momentum and drop it down on his head.
12:10
That's what I'm saying. Like as a baserunner, you don't
12:12
see that stuff. So like, I think you just you
12:15
slide in and your helmet comes off and you know, it wasn't you
12:19
jarring your helmet loose like I I just, I don't think you saw
12:22
what happened. I don't think I mean you're not
12:24
seeing any of that in a split second.
12:27
So I think it was probably like a pre.
12:36
Is this position, the word that like you, you feel like, hey, I
12:42
know I'm going to steal this bag if there is another occurrence
12:45
with him, like, you know what I mean?
12:47
Like I wonder if there was just like a pre.
12:51
You know what I'm saying? Like he had in his head.
12:54
I don't know, I, I don't even care.
12:56
I don't the Royals don't mean anything to me as far as like
13:01
competition goes. Like I, I just, I don't see any
13:06
of this actually holding water. Seems all very manufactured.
13:11
It seemed manufactured when Michael Garcia was starting
13:15
stuff initially. And then it's just it's kind of
13:18
like started turning into more and more any play that involves
13:22
them. Right, but I guess I just made
13:24
a. Insane double play to get out of
13:28
bases loaded jam, so props to that.
13:30
I guess my point though is you talk about manufacturing like
13:35
since that dust up between Michael Garcia and Jazz Chisholm
13:39
last time, how many times have you heard?
13:44
How many times have you heard from Michael Garcia?
13:47
How many how many times has Michael Garcia made the news for
13:49
for things like that? We're on the flip side that's.
13:52
What I'm saying like there's not really.
13:54
On the flip, on the flip side, where?
13:55
How many times have we heard about Jazz saying something
13:57
stupid, posting something stupid, running his mouth?
14:00
I. Hear you.
14:01
I don't. I don't think he's it just it is
14:06
what it is. I don't know, like I'm with you,
14:09
I'm not. I'm not going to sit here and
14:10
like defend Jazz Chisholm. Like I'm not.
14:15
I tell you all the time that like he's going to end the year
14:18
with 22 home runs and at 735 OPS and it's going to be like,
14:24
thanks for your service like that.
14:25
He's going to make an occasional big play defensively.
14:30
I I don't think it's worth the antics.
14:32
But like, at the same time, I, I don't know, this is what it is.
14:40
I don't, it doesn't mean as much to Yankee fans as it means to
14:45
the rest of baseball fans. I guess.
14:48
Like, we don't really notice and we don't really, he hasn't
14:52
really earned his pinstripes in a way for us to just be like,
14:54
oh, that's our guy. I'll die for him.
14:57
You know he's a tweener. In the chat, his name is Jazz.
15:01
We're always going to hear about it.
15:02
That's a that's a funny point. Like what if his name was
15:09
Bartholomew Chisholm? Like, do we think, do we think
15:13
that this is being talked? About.
15:18
Probably not. Probably not.
15:20
Unless if he goes by Bart for sure not.
15:23
If he goes by Bart, he's probably not even in the league,
15:26
if we're being right, I mean, if we're telling.
15:28
Is Jared Bart in the league? Not now.
15:35
Let's see, Bartolo doesn't count.
15:39
No. Bartolome.
15:44
If Bartolo doesn't count Bartolome, it definitely
15:47
doesn't. Bart Johnson, 1969 to 1977.
15:52
Perfect, perfect. Bart Shirley 19641968 Now last
15:57
thing I'll say is, and I've said this to you before, like I I
16:01
hate the Yankees. I hate everything about the
16:03
Yankees. I hate what they represent.
16:04
I hate what they stand for. I hate their stupid ballpark.
16:08
It's not even a real Yankee Stadium.
16:11
Stop trying to tell me you've been there for like 100 plus
16:13
years. You haven't stupid.
16:18
You're just everything about it sucks.
16:21
But at the very least there's a standard there.
16:27
And I've said, I've said that I said this to you the other day.
16:29
I said I just need Jazz to play for another team because I feel
16:34
like he's I'm not saying he's solely responsible for it, but
16:39
he's with with some of his his actions, the things he posts,
16:44
the things he like, just running his mouth.
16:45
It's like very anti Aaron Judge, where it's like Aaron Judge very
16:50
clearly upholds the the Yankee way, the Yankee standard,
16:53
whatever you want to call it. And then I feel like Jazz just
16:57
actively erodes it. And again, I hate the Yankees,
17:01
but I just feel like he's he's actively working against what
17:04
the what the team has built up and can and tries to continue to
17:09
uphold. That's all.
17:11
I suppose I mean, you, Deion Sanders played for this team.
17:16
Reggie Jackson was in the news for altercations all the time.
17:19
So I mean, it's just like, I don't, I don't think that the
17:24
Yankees are like immune to having these types of players.
17:28
I think it's just been a little while, but I it is what it is
17:34
now. To be fair, like you, you kind
17:36
of just, if there's success, you just kind of accept it and wear
17:41
it. I mean, Reggie, Reggie Jackson
17:44
popped off from time to time, but that's Reggie Jackson.
17:49
We're talking about Jazz Chisholm.
17:51
I hear you. Let's.
17:52
Let's not let's not get too deep into the numbers there because
17:55
you might be surprised at what you find.
17:56
No, I mean, I'm just, I'm just saying that like you're, yeah,
18:02
it's not the first and last time we're going to look at an
18:05
athlete and be like, I don't admire the way you go about
18:09
things like this. Just this is the way of sports.
18:12
I don't know. I'm I'm less invested in it and
18:16
I definitely don't even really care about this Michael Garcia
18:19
stuff. It does nothing for me.
18:22
I don't think it is bulletin board material worthy at all.
18:29
Jazz might disagree. Speaking of bulletin board
18:32
material, I don't know what was on Juan Soto's bulletin board,
18:36
but something seems to be working.
18:38
Looks like looks like the former Bronx Bomber himself is is back
18:44
to form since June or since start of the month.
18:47
Coming into the day Wednesday, he's hitting 367 with three
18:52
homers, 6 ribbies, and a 1291 OPS across 9 games during that
18:57
span. He's got an on base streak that
18:59
dates back to May 28th and I've also seen you would know better
19:08
than I, but it appears as though the Soto Shuffle is back.
19:12
Is that correct? I did.
19:13
I did see that it was weird that it just was gone for a while.
19:20
I mean, I think the Soto shuffle directly correlates to his
19:24
confidence. Like when he's feeling himself,
19:26
he's he's Soto. He's Soto shuffling to the box
19:30
like before his a bat even starts.
19:33
And you know he's going to do it every pitch.
19:34
But when he's at, there was a yeah, there was a stretch there
19:38
where I don't think he was quite right in the head from a
19:43
mechanical standpoint. Like mentally as a as an elite
19:46
hitter, he just wasn't, I'm not saying like mentally, but I'm
19:49
saying just like confidence wise as a hitter, he just was not
19:53
himself. And I think that's where we saw
19:56
it disappear. But checking in on some savant
20:01
numbers. Love me some savant.
20:05
Leads all of baseball and chase rate.
20:07
Leads all of baseball and walk rate.
20:12
His bail rate is back above his career average.
20:17
His launch angle sweet spot rate is back over his career average.
20:25
His top five overall of expected outcomes.
20:28
Shout out to ex woba and shout out to Mets Analytics for for
20:33
doing some deep diving. I don't know, I guess this is
20:40
bad news for the rest of the league.
20:44
I did see that clip of yesterday just staring down Mackenzie Gore
20:54
talk about manufactured. I mean, I think I get I gave
21:00
said that too package that he was included in.
21:03
But like I I don't it's just. Like you also wanted out.
21:09
So like, don't act like you were disrespected by like being
21:12
shipped out of town. Right, exactly.
21:14
Like at, I don't know, I'm out on Juan Soto for sure.
21:19
And and I was thinking about that the other day where I was
21:21
like, that's what these contracts do.
21:25
These massive contracts especially like record
21:28
contracts, they make you pick a side.
21:32
You can no longer be indifferent about them.
21:35
Like you either hate them or love them.
21:37
That's the only way it goes. Great point.
21:40
There's no other like you have to be.
21:46
I'm just. Yeah.
21:46
Is there another? That's an interesting, that's an
21:48
interesting point. I I hadn't really.
21:50
Think of think of them before that contract and then when the
21:52
contract hits. Is there another guy or two that
21:55
you can think of where this is applied to?
21:57
I mean like I went back to like the obvious time of like a rod,
22:00
like pre Yankees, you know what I mean?
22:03
Like pre Yankees, no one really disliked a rod.
22:06
Yeah, well, I mean, going to the Yankees carries its own level
22:10
of, you know, it's it, it hasn't, and it adds another
22:14
layer to it, but. Yeah, Stanton kind of a same
22:20
thing. Like I don't know if people
22:21
necessarily hate him. Again, it's a Yankee, but like.
22:25
Outside of New York, I mean, like you, you.
22:28
Outside of New York, maybe. I mean, it sounds like we're
22:30
just talking Yankee after Yankee after Yankee.
22:34
I mean, it's a lot of the big contracts.
22:36
Machado, well, not a great example either because that's, I
22:40
mean, Machado had. His own Tatis kind of had his
22:43
own. Yeah.
22:45
PED, stuff like that. Is there anybody that's received
22:49
a contract that's either not like a a borderline dirtbag or
22:54
like a guy that's been busted that we can apply this?
22:58
It can't be like middle of the road.
22:59
I'm saying like big enough contract that like that is the
23:02
talking point for the rest of the offseason no matter what
23:04
other contracts happen. That's kind of what I'm getting
23:07
at. I mean, Harper, but again, not a
23:18
great example because people didn't like him anyway.
23:20
It wasn't like people were kind of like on the fence about him.
23:24
Maybe, I don't know. I mean, like, maybe we were a
23:27
little too close to Bryce Harper when he was a national and like
23:30
as he was coming up, like maybe there were people, like, think
23:33
about it, when he was coming up. How old were we?
23:38
I mean, when he was on Sports Illustrated, Yeah, we were in
23:40
high school. Yeah, so like if you were to ask
23:47
a 30 year old back then how they felt about Bryce Harper, they'd
23:49
be like, oh, I'm excited to see what this kid is like.
23:53
I think true baseball fans, like we look at, you know, a a Jack
23:56
Caglione and like no matter what you're like, yeah, this kids
24:00
exciting, you know, like I want to see him succeed.
24:03
And then if all of a sudden, Fast forward 5-6 years down the
24:07
road and he's ruined a couple other teams and he's walked it
24:11
off on a couple of your favorite relievers and he signs a massive
24:15
300 plus $1,000,000 contract, You're like, maybe I kind of
24:19
hate this kid. I don't know.
24:21
So I think there's certain guys that just kind of have that.
24:24
Well, even with him, we talked it when he got called up, we
24:26
were talking about how there's already hints.
24:29
Maybe hints is a little too subtle, like evidence, yeah, but
24:33
develop could blossom. I think it just depends on like
24:36
the the antics and like what you're always going to have
24:39
these guys that are just a Wan so to ask of like, I don't care
24:45
if you like me. In fact, I prefer if you hate me
24:49
because it knows I know that it's working.
24:51
You know what I mean? To certain guys like that
24:56
Terrell Owens was like awesome when he was a 49er and then he
25:01
goes to Philly and like everyone's like screw this guy.
25:04
You know what I mean? Like it.
25:05
You could do this across sports. You could do this with anybody,
25:08
LeBron. Everyone love LeBron the first
25:10
time in Cleveland, you go to Miami, I hate you.
25:14
You're a jerk, right? Like it's just you have these
25:17
guys that like as the second you see the ego tie into you being
25:24
the best and you having the most money.
25:27
A lot of people are out, but this is what Juan Soto is.
25:32
It's no new. It's it's not a secret.
25:34
This isn't new, right? Like this is it's just, it's
25:39
what it is. I, I think it's just a little
25:41
bit of a different view because everyone looked at him as a
25:43
Yankee and was like preparing to hate him for the rest of his
25:47
career because it looked like he was going to be a Yankee.
25:49
He looked good as a Yankee. And then now it's like this
25:52
weird like, oh, you slighted the Yankees.
25:55
We kind of like that you slighted the Yankees.
25:57
Like, you know what I'm saying? I think by year, this time next
26:01
year, one year from now, majority of baseball fans would
26:05
be like, this guy kind of sucks. I don't know.
26:08
I just don't like him, you know, And then he's like officially a
26:12
met and and then I don't know, maybe there is some later
26:16
chapter that he gets to, you know what I mean?
26:18
Like maybe there's some Bryce Harper threshold that he reaches
26:21
where you're like, you're just calm.
26:24
You don't have a high heartbeat at all.
26:27
You don't stare anybody down. You just, you're super
26:31
confident. Lance Berkman.
26:33
Jacob, is there anybody in the world that dislikes Lance
26:37
Berkman? That guy is just what ego?
26:44
I don't remember an ego on Lance Berkman at all.
26:47
I don't. I don't.
26:48
I mean, I, I remember like a little bit of like rough around
26:51
the edges, but I mean, I don't know if I don't know enough to
26:55
warrant. I mean, maybe it's a lesser
26:58
degree, but I don't know if I don't know if that's an example
27:00
that fits into this. Contract.
27:02
Yeah, exactly. It's got to be like the
27:04
superstar of superstars, right? And and that's just it's where
27:10
he is so like, I don't I don't it's probably a perfect cocktail
27:13
of like I'm kind of jealous visibility and his money and I'm
27:20
jealous that he gets to stare people down before hitting a
27:22
tank and then gets to stare him down again.
27:25
You know what I mean? Like it's this is what I said a
27:29
few episodes ago, though. I was like, dude, get the
27:32
confidence back and just be the villain.
27:34
Like be truly be the villain. You've been riding that fence
27:37
throughout your career of like, I don't know if I want to be
27:40
loved. I don't know if I want to be
27:41
hated. I kind of do things that make me
27:44
be, you know, that that make me feel hated.
27:49
Like just do it all the way. Be hated.
27:52
Especially for a best in the National League New York Mets
27:56
team that is desperate for some of that energy, I would have to
28:01
imagine. I think it's here, it's look
28:03
out. I've safe to say he's he's back
28:09
and this isn't like he's not he's not up and down fluky
28:14
hitter like that. We could probably Fast forward
28:20
to the end of year and be like, hey, if you take out April.
28:23
Yeah. Then half of may dudes hitting
28:27
380, you know what I mean? Like it's probably going to be
28:29
one of those types of. Stuff you take out like half the
28:31
season. This guy was on a Hall of Fame
28:34
trajectory this year. Now I get what you're saying,
28:36
but yeah, I mean, I don't think it's going to fluctuate much
28:39
beyond what we've already seen to this point.
28:40
I think we're getting good old regular Juan Soto back at this
28:47
point. Speaking to Soto, his former
28:49
club, the San Diego Padres, dropped their first series
28:53
against the Dodgers today. Dodgers take two or three.
29:00
The game that the Padres do win a score of 11 to 1, which was
29:05
crazy in and of itself, but this was the first match up between
29:11
the two teams since the post season match up that everybody
29:15
was talking about last October. But yeah, that middle game crazy
29:23
dude you got Dylan sees given giving you a just twirl in a
29:29
gem. 7 innings, three hits, no runs, 11 KS.
29:35
And then on the flip side of the ball you got Matt Sauer who is
29:43
was essentially left out there to die.
29:47
Sure, Lou Trevino starts the game, gives you an inning
29:51
essentially of of perfect ball and then the and then old old
29:56
Doc Roberts rolls out Matt Sauer, who proceeds to throw 4
30:02
2/3, giving up thirteen hits, nine runs, three walks and a
30:11
Homer across 111 pitches. No, that's I mean, that's a true
30:17
hero that. OK, I'm glad you said that
30:20
because there's so many people. And I listened to the I listened
30:24
to the clip from Dave Roberts. I guess it was pregame today
30:27
before the the series finale and they were asking him and they
30:31
were like, Dave, what do you have to say?
30:33
And credit to whoever it was that asked the question.
30:35
He's like, I get it. I'm sure most of the rest of us
30:38
here understand why you did what you did.
30:41
But he said, can you explain to the fans why or or how you can
30:46
justify rolling him out there for as long as he did and
30:50
allowing what happened to happen?
30:53
And Dave Roberts just look exhausted, as if he doesn't have
30:56
like a juggernaut of a baseball team.
30:58
But he looked exhausted and was like, I don't want to waste my
31:02
energy having to trying to explain this to the fans.
31:06
He said he's a big boy. He said he know I, I don't, I'm,
31:10
I'm paraphrasing, but it was essentially like we were all on
31:13
the same page as to what need to happen.
31:15
He said, we're trying to win as many baseball games as you can.
31:18
And when you're down like. You kind of have to punt, man.
31:21
Yeah, you get to a point where it's like, OK, this isn't worth
31:24
blowing the rest of our bullpen for, for a a pretty, you know,
31:28
it's it's June, but it's a pretty important series.
31:33
So yeah, we're going to punt this.
31:35
And by the way, we're going to close the game with with Kiki on
31:37
the bump yet again. Who has officially given up his
31:42
first turn run by the way? Give up a tater to Manny.
31:48
Two guys on that weren't his but did give up the tater on like a
31:55
57 mile an hour pitch. Shame on him for not being able
32:01
to clean up Sauer's mess. That's that's.
32:04
Weak through two and a third, yeah.
32:07
That's that's crazy. Hey, is Kiki going to be
32:11
eligible as a pitcher in fantasy?
32:13
It's possible it might be something to consider.
32:18
He's what, 2? One away, 2 away.
32:20
I think you got to make 5. Appearances.
32:22
You can't keep him. You got to keep him in the
32:24
pitching spot the whole time. Like what do you?
32:27
You can't. You never know when the game is
32:30
going to get out of the hand. It's like you can't slide him,
32:33
you know? Yeah.
32:35
Do you hear what I'm saying? We're talking about Kika
32:36
Hernandez. I'm not like actually
32:38
considering trying to like add him as an asset.
32:41
I'll throw anything out there at the moment.
32:43
That's yeah, I mean, that's. That's I've lost four straight
32:46
weeks so. Tough break for you, but no,
32:49
that more of the just the novelty of it.
32:51
I'm, I would, I would love to see him become eligible as
32:54
pitcher. Yeah.
32:57
But the take away for me with it with this series was that the
33:00
Dodgers were able to take a series against you with little
33:04
to no starting pitching. Correct.
33:08
And what were the? I'm sorry, what were or you may
33:10
have already said it, but we had cease who were the.
33:13
Pavetto Pavetto win games won. Who's been who's been like OK
33:18
for you? But he just he like he just
33:20
wasn't sharp this game. So you know.
33:22
This is what you've said. Like you've said, this is what
33:25
Nick Pavetto is like. He's.
33:27
He goes on runs. Yeah, and then he goes.
33:30
And when he's on, he's on. And then he'll go on slides and.
33:36
Then that happened. I think Dustin may right, I
33:39
think. That was so Dustin May and then
33:41
Dodgers had quote UN quote bullpen game and then I don't
33:46
remember who they who they rolled out there today.
33:54
The Dodgers. Yeah.
34:01
Oh, it was. What's his face, Cass?
34:05
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they rolled him out.
34:07
Yeah. Full blown bullpen game again.
34:10
So the Dodgers are able to take a series for me with little to
34:12
no starting pitching, as I said. They used 12345678 arms today.
34:23
Did you also see that which I have my own thoughts, but at
34:29
who? What opinion?
34:32
Like what does my opinion matter to Dodgers or Padres or Giants
34:35
fans? But did you see the the line
34:37
where Max Muncie said for me, your rival is just one team.
34:40
You don't have multiple teams as a rival, citing the Giants as
34:45
the true rival of the Dodgers. What do what?
34:49
What are we thinking there? I think he's still trying to
34:51
hold on to go get it out of the ocean.
34:53
I think that's what he's trying to hold on to, yeah.
34:57
I mean even. If even if, even if the division
35:01
somehow ends up with the giants over the Padres and it's a tight
35:04
race at the end, like I'm still not.
35:07
I still don't think it's as hot as this rivalry.
35:11
And like, shame on you. Max wants to eat, dude.
35:13
Like this is arguably the best rivalry that we have.
35:16
That's what I'm. Saying latch on to this.
35:20
Annoying. Whatever.
35:23
Ridiculous. Last note on the Dodgers here,
35:28
an update on Shohei to the bump. Sounds like there's a good
35:33
chance that he would end up back on the mound as early as July as
35:39
opposed to August. July is not far.
35:41
Which was originally planned and I think I also read.
35:46
Yes, there's a quote north of zero chance, which is just a
35:51
weird way of saying there's a chance that Otani joins the
35:56
team's. Dave Roberts said that there's a
36:02
north of zero chance that he joins the team's rotation before
36:05
the break. I OK don't have to do with that
36:15
stupid way of saying that slight is there is is that what he
36:19
means? There's a slight chance, yes.
36:23
North of 0, meaning like slightly above 0.
36:26
Stupid. That's a stupid way of saying
36:28
that that aggravates me and I don't know why I don't.
36:34
Cool. I think Joe I it's hard to It's
36:39
hard to care. I hate this team.
36:41
I hate them. It's hard for me to care.
36:45
It's hard for me to get excited for, for us to get absolutely
36:51
buried with notifications and updates the second he returns to
36:55
the mound. I'm not mentally strong enough
36:59
for it. I'm not ready for it.
37:02
My phone is going to overheat with the notifications that pour
37:07
in the second he steps on the bump, and I don't.
37:12
I don't want it. I prefer this life, I prefer him
37:16
as ADH only. It's just quieter for me.
37:21
Am I OK in saying that? Is there anyone else out there
37:25
that feels this way? I'm, I'm in.
37:29
You said it well. You.
37:34
You've made it clear that you hate the you that you hate the
37:38
sorry, I'm putting Yankees, Royals on.
37:41
Oh, perfect timing. You made it clear that you hate
37:46
OK Sick. Judge Tater, whatever you were
37:53
wondering. Whatever.
37:55
Watching live, whatever, you made it clear that you hate the
37:59
Dodgers. Let's talk about a team here for
38:01
a minute. That you, you actually, you're
38:03
very fond of the Boston Red Sox. Roman Anthony.
38:07
Roman Anthony getting the call up this week, getting a call up
38:11
on Monday. Was the 700 foot Grand Slam he
38:17
hit the final nail in the coffin for them or?
38:22
I I think it was. Was it 497?
38:27
No, not 497. Four, it was, It was an absolute
38:32
tater, dude. It was like 470 or something
38:35
like that. It was like 472. 490 No, it was
38:39
four, 97150 miles off the bat. 100.
38:43
And what? 115.
38:47
All you were joking is at 150. Basically, no, no 115 yeah, may
38:52
as well have been. But yeah, to your point, I I
38:56
genuinely think the organization was holding out for 500, but
38:59
then they got they got bullied into into calling them up.
39:03
But very cool moment gets gets the call up, goes O for the
39:07
first, the first game, I think gets his first RBI in game one,
39:12
but then his parents. That's like one of my favorite
39:16
parts about these call UPS is when when the turn around time
39:19
is so fast for that first game that nobody can get there.
39:23
And then like low key, they kind of like suck.
39:25
Well, then it'll suck, but it's like nothing to write home
39:27
about. You don't get it.
39:28
You don't get that first hit, But then everybody rolls into
39:30
town the next day and then you're like, all right, now we
39:32
go. Not to mention he changes.
39:35
He changed his his jersey number overnight, rolled into town for
39:41
with 48 for the first game and. What is it now?
39:44
Second, now it's 19 better, much better, much better.
39:52
Not great, but better. I, I, I can roll with 19 for
39:58
now. Theater.
39:59
I mean, that's what, yeah. Now I, I, I'm with it.
40:04
But very, very cool moment. I'm biased to 14 and under.
40:12
It's kind of my threshold I'll take.
40:16
Actually, I'll run that up to. Which is weird. 18 and under.
40:19
Which is weird because the team that you pull for, you haven't
40:22
seen anybody actually play with any of those numbers except
40:27
maybe 3. Yeah.
40:30
So I don't know what your infatuation with these low
40:32
numbers. Are for me personally, no, no, I
40:34
low numbers are always the GOAT. That's always that's fair,
40:37
that's fair. But for an outfielder, like a
40:39
corner outfielder. Yeah, well, Speaking of corner,
40:41
I saw him boot scoop boogie whiff on one that went all the
40:45
way to the wall. Was that game one again?
40:47
Game one Game one goes over jitters.
40:53
Let the ball roll right by him, which is fine couple.
40:57
Couple run score. Was it the difference in the
41:02
game? Did it matter?
41:06
Dude these games are starting. I'm literally just finished up
41:08
the game tonight. What was that a difference maker
41:12
in that game? I'd like to know.
41:20
Well, they did lose 8 to 10, so yeah, going to go ahead and.
41:28
Could have. But it was early.
41:29
There were still time to bounce. Back.
41:32
Sure, sure. Just trying to give, well,
41:34
somewhat early, trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.
41:37
Anyway, he was 40. 8 That's why he changed.
41:40
That's what I'm saying. The issue I have with it though,
41:43
is that it's already been reported that both him and
41:46
Marcella Meyer are not going to get many opportunities against
41:50
lefties. Which stop with this dude.
41:55
I'm so sick of this. I'm so over the.
41:59
Like catering to matchups like we're I I'm of the belief that
42:04
Major League Baseball is never go.
42:05
You're not going to be able to solve the equation that is big
42:09
League Baseball. It's in.
42:11
It's an unsolvable equation. Yes.
42:16
But I tell you what, these nerds are trying their darndest I know
42:20
to get as close as they can where it's just like, I it, it
42:26
goes back to that quote that I've referenced on here before,
42:28
like the the, what was it the the Jurassic Park quote where
42:32
it's like they spent so much time trying to figure out if
42:34
they could that they didn't stop to think about whether they
42:37
should. And it's like, can we platoon
42:41
every player on the field every day for 162 games of a season?
42:46
Sure. But like, who wants to do that?
42:50
I understand that you're trying to win games.
42:51
You're trying to like, like maximize efficiency, but like,
42:54
can can we just like put that back?
42:58
Can we put that genie back in the box and just go back to a
43:02
time where like you, you roll your your your best nine out
43:08
there and just let them. I mean, you, you get a sub in
43:11
here and there, but like you just let your guys go out and
43:14
play like stop with the platooning, stop with like the
43:18
the third time through the lineup, stop with the pinch hits
43:21
in the 5th. Like just let them play
43:23
baseball. Yeah.
43:25
It's the the number one prospect in baseball like he's he's
43:29
probably going to be pretty good.
43:31
Just let them play. That's what I'm saying is that
43:33
like, I, I understand if it's, if that it's a struggling young
43:36
prospect that's playing like a role.
43:38
And I just don't fully understand when it's like you
43:45
said, like somebody who you're banking on being a superstar,
43:48
like banking on being an everyday guy and be building
43:51
your franchise around in a way. Like I don't why, why
43:58
immediately create a problem. I just don't get it.
44:05
By the way, Marcelo Meyer, I don't love the hair.
44:07
What's with the? Pipe down.
44:09
He had two. He had two jacks tonight.
44:12
It takes odd the pipe down. Stop weird.
44:16
He doesn't flowy. He doesn't care. 2012.
44:20
He doesn't care about what you have to say about his hair.
44:24
I know, but Jazz definitely cares about how you feel about
44:30
him so. Just like Marcus Stroman, they
44:34
won't admit it, but they do. They do.
44:37
It eats at them. Is your next?
44:39
Is your next goal in life to get blocked by jazz?
44:42
No, I don't. I don't care that much.
44:44
Marcus Stroman. However, I was, I was on a
44:46
mission there and I you're proud of it.
44:48
I succeeded. It's a big accolade.
44:51
I mean, again, there's a long. List.
44:53
I would love to see that list of blocked contacts.
44:59
I'm blocked by the Reds. What is that about?
45:03
I don't it, I, I think I was like spamming them with with
45:07
replies years ago. And I guess the guy, whoever,
45:10
the guy girl, whoever's running the account just got sick of
45:13
seeing my face and said no more. So I'm blocked by the Reds,
45:17
which is weird. I think I might even be blocked
45:19
by the Brewers. Was it one of those like day one
45:23
of doing this? No, I'm not blocked by the
45:27
Brewers. Doing what?
45:30
The pod. You what were those things where
45:33
you're like day one of tagging them until this happens day 2.
45:37
Oh, no, no, no, no. I honestly don't even remember,
45:40
but I know it wasn't that. But for whatever reason, they
45:43
were just like, yeah, no. You did something and you gave
45:46
up. I don't remember what it was.
45:48
Oh, oh, oh, oh. That was the that was something
45:54
with Mike Trout, something with Mike Trout.
46:01
Day one of something. Tagging Mike Trout.
46:04
Yeah, I'd have to go. Back and look and it it went on
46:06
for like 2-3 weeks and I was like.
46:09
Hey, you're in a towel. This isn't as fun, so I thought
46:11
it would be. That is now like a trend on
46:16
TikTok, by the way. That's like a new that's like
46:18
the thing on TikTok is that like you just like tag.
46:22
Like there's I see a lot of accounts that are like, my wife
46:24
promised me that I'll get I can get new Golf clubs if Bryson de
46:27
shampoo de shampoo de shampoo de shampoo responds.
46:33
Going on a going on a flight won't have Internet, need 5
46:37
brands to comment but crap like that.
46:40
Like you know what, whatever works man, whatever works.
46:43
Money's not Speaking of money. Hold on.
46:52
Gotta find it. There it is.
46:56
First of all, I need to preface the Credit Cannon segment today
47:00
with a with a disclaimer. With a disclaimer with a
47:03
message. I kid you not.
47:06
So you know him, you love him, Murray.
47:12
He sent me a text on Monday night.
47:14
Was he? Playing the pod in the in the
47:16
shop. Again, as you know, he plays the
47:18
pod in the shop that he works in.
47:21
Shout out marae, you know, like I said, you know him, you love
47:24
him. The day one, the day one he's an
47:26
OG. Texted me Monday night and said
47:31
dude, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Mind me telling you this?
47:34
I don't think. He cares.
47:36
Everybody said, dude, our service department just had a
47:38
meeting asking the techs not to blast shooting noises or sirens
47:42
on our speakers. Everyone looked at me and I
47:46
said, it's a baseball podcast. And I'm like, you know, and
47:54
look, I, I know we're laughing and not to make light of it, but
47:57
like, it also doesn't help the fact that this is going on.
48:00
He's in LA with like everything that's going on in LA right now.
48:03
Like I'm sure that's not helping.
48:04
So I I mean that's. That's exactly.
48:10
What, what do we do? Do I do I still move forward
48:14
with the cannon or I just maybe need to put out a disclaimer
48:20
each time? I don't know, maybe Moray should
48:22
get some Airpods I. Yeah, I mean, that's fair.
48:25
That's fair. The fact that you, our voices,
48:27
are just echoing around this, this shop.
48:31
Which is wild though. Yo that's sick.
48:33
Honestly, I like it. And if Murray gets fired, Murray
48:38
gets fired. It's it's for the pod.
48:40
Murray can come for the team. Murray can come work for us.
48:43
Yeah. But now let's talk.
48:46
Just wanted to preface the segment with with that note from
48:50
from our good our good friend starting us off here.
48:57
Should I do it? Yeah, Pete Alonzo, the National
49:07
League Player of the week. He had 400, had an OPS of 14525
49:13
homers and 15 ribbies. He's I've read and I like, sort
49:19
of confirmed myself because I wanted to see it for my own
49:22
eyes. I it looks as though he's
49:24
tracking for the best season of his career.
49:29
Should should things continue? Mets should have offered a a
49:34
decent contract when they had the chance.
49:37
I think bro's going to get paid man.
49:39
He's about to start the All Star game for the NL 2.
49:45
All Star game it, Which will be it?
49:47
Likely Run Derby as well, 'cause.
49:51
That's what he looks for 'cause why not?
49:54
The Peter Alonzo Trophy. The Peter Alonzo Trophy coming
49:57
in today. He's hitting a clean 317 dongs
50:03
and then 983 OPS. 180 OPS plus. Worthy of a credit cannon.
50:08
That might be his debut. Might be first.
50:12
Might be his debut. Next up on the list, Jose
50:19
Ramirez. I'm just, I'm putting myself in
50:23
the shop and then like if you just hear this, that's.
50:26
All it is. If you like, if you hear this
50:31
and then the next, the next couple sentences are like, yeah,
50:34
he's 12 for his last 15 with six homers.
50:38
Like what is what is going through your mind?
50:41
If you're hearing this, don't recommend.
50:43
If you do listen to the podcast in public, I recommend putting
50:47
in those Airpods for the credit cannon segment.
50:49
Otherwise you you are in fact going to get some looks.
50:53
HR is coming to you. Yeah, don't.
50:56
Yeah, you listen to it on a speaker or you just play it loud
51:00
from your phone. Just you just consider yourself
51:03
warned. We we we're doing what we can to
51:05
help you out, keep you from getting fired.
51:07
But you know who's not going to get fired?
51:11
Oh my. I'll wake you up.
51:12
I guess the juices going. That's why we love it here.
51:15
Jose Ramirez coming into today riding a 36 game career high 36
51:23
game on base streak, also bringing with him a 10 game
51:28
hitting streak. Yeah, in the chat Jacob said
51:31
don't listen in the car, you will swerve.
51:34
So really the only place you can listen to this segment is like
51:37
on a walk. Peaceful.
51:42
Yeah. But then again, if you're like
51:44
going for a walk in the park and you've got your headphones in,
51:47
you might think that you're being you're being held up.
51:52
It's only certain places. In the car with the windows
51:58
rolled up at medium volume. Not driving.
52:03
Yes, not driving during the hitting streak he's in.
52:09
He's slashing 405-480-8676 with three homers, seven runs scored,
52:15
five ribbies and five swipes during the on base streak, which
52:18
as I mentioned, was 36 games, 388-450-2626, seven homers, 18
52:25
extra base hits, 18 ribbies and 14 swipes.
52:32
The dude just doesn't have holes in his swing.
52:35
He doesn't have holes. He doesn't have places to like
52:38
hitters can't attack him and he's patient.
52:41
Like he's, he's unbelievable. We're not don't say it.
52:47
Don't say that he's he's underrated.
52:49
We've we've exhausted that beyond belief.
52:53
Everyone knows how good Jose Ramirez and I'm not saying that
52:56
you're making that case. I'm just getting ahead of it in
52:58
case you were. No, I was going to say that like
53:00
I, I, I, I wish we could go back.
53:05
I I no disrespect to Cleveland, no disrespect, no disrespect,
53:10
but like I, I wish I would have seen what that guy would have
53:13
pulled in on the market at that time.
53:16
I think he would have pulled in a big contract and I think he
53:19
would have been in a lot of big post season matchups.
53:24
That would be historical in my mind.
53:27
Like that's kind of how I picture.
53:29
It's, I'm not going to say it's a full on waste, but it's kind
53:31
of a waste. I won't go as far as to say it's
53:34
a waste, although no disrespect, of course not.
53:37
No, no, no disrespect. And maybe at one point or
53:40
another over the life of this podcast that I said it's been a
53:42
waste, but I'm older now, I'm wiser.
53:47
If I had said that, maybe I rescinded a little bit.
53:50
My bigger take away is not that it's so much a waste, but that I
53:58
just would have been curious to see him elsewhere.
54:02
Not in that like, oh, Cleveland's wasting his career
54:04
because, like, they've made some runs, obviously.
54:07
But, you know, it's just kind of one of those classic like what
54:10
ifs like. If you see, he's also been in
54:12
the league for a long time, Sure, I think he's.
54:17
Further adding to my point, like, you know, maybe a little
54:20
fresh. I mean, at this point it's not
54:22
going to happen. But like, you know, a little
54:26
little new face in a new place kind of thing.
54:28
I don't know. I'd say like 2014.
54:31
That's that's my guess. Where would you, where would be
54:35
a place just like off the top, where'd be a place that just
54:38
kind of randomly you, you wouldn't mind seeing?
54:41
Well, I mean, if if we were to go back that far, it's kind of
54:44
like a 2013 played 15 games. Jeez.
54:53
It's been only 13 years. Man, how old is he, you said or
54:56
did you say? 32 This is 30 age 32 season.
55:00
How old was he when he came up? 20.
55:05
Oh, smokes J Ram. I don't know, been doing it.
55:08
Where? Where's the place you'd like to
55:09
see him? Well, I was going to say it's
55:11
it's like I'm not going to say like to see him, but it was pre
55:15
Raffi Devers. Like I he he kind of just looks
55:18
like a Red Sox. Like I don't know what it is
55:20
about him. He's always kind of looked that
55:23
way. And like as a switch hitter,
55:24
like you kind of take advantage of that field in a way without
55:28
being pigeonholed as just Fenway righty, you know what I mean?
55:35
Like, I think that would have been interesting.
55:38
I don't know. That's kind of what came to mind
55:42
right away. No it's a good one, hadn't
55:44
really considered it because it's to your point like pre Rafi
55:49
Devers you still like? I still sometimes feel like Rafi
55:53
Devers has been here for like 3 years, but then you realize he's
55:58
been here for a minute. Yeah, well, he does.
56:01
He he's always, he always looks like he's 12, but sometimes you
56:05
just forget how long he's been up.
56:09
Speaking of the Sox, shout out Trevor's story, man, Shout them
56:17
out. And I know sure some bias is
56:20
playing here because you're going to hear these numbers and
56:22
you're going to go, this is worth this is what qualifies as
56:27
credit cannon worthy. Let me let me explain.
56:31
Let me explain better. Hurry up because I'm looking at
56:35
these stats. Go ahead.
56:37
I've got the numbers here. I've got the numbers from
56:43
opening day to stop, put the phone down.
56:46
It's. Been four games.
56:50
What are you talking about? Go ahead.
56:52
Four games. What?
56:53
Four games of good baseball. Stop.
56:55
Put it down. And it ended today.
56:59
It was over. These are.
57:02
Always coming into today numbers.
57:05
You know this, how long we've been doing this.
57:08
Trevor Story from opening day through the final day of May May
57:14
31st if. You take that out.
57:17
No, I'm, I'm very much including this because it's it's proving
57:22
my point here. Let me get to my point.
57:25
Trevor's story from Opening Day to May 31st was hitting 216 with
57:30
seven home runs, 23 RBI's and a 585 OPS.
57:38
He was one of, if not the worst statistical hitter during the
57:43
stretch of the season. OK.
57:45
Since June 1st, coming into today, not including today, he's
57:51
hitting 343 with two homers, 11 ribbies and a 966 OPS.
58:02
His OPS is over almost 400 points higher.
58:11
Comparatively. Hey look, I hear you.
58:14
Nothing wrong with the Canon focusing on the short term.
58:17
It's the whole point. I understand.
58:24
Is that it? Was there more to that or you
58:26
just acknowledging? OK, fair.
58:28
When did? He start sucking at short by the
58:31
way, when was when did he start? Becoming this year liability
58:34
this year last year, I I think he was still he was still above
58:38
average defensively, but then with the injuries it just I
58:43
think this year was a tough hill to climb yeah, but for the most
58:48
part has stayed stayed healthy. He's just sucked.
58:51
That's the problem, but not since June 1st right, which is
58:57
why is in this segment lastly here.
59:00
No, not oh shoot, we got a we got we got some more here.
59:04
This was a this was a a juicy credit cannon segment today.
59:09
You know what, I I might, I might rescind this pic.
59:18
Well, I can't because I said this is all about coming into
59:21
the day numbers. I was going to say, I was going
59:24
to say Zach Latell. Your bias is showing.
59:27
Zach Latell, did he get lit up coming into the well, He just
59:32
wasn't. He wasn't sharp tonight coming
59:34
into the day five and O of the Tampa Bay Rays, by the way. 5
59:38
and O with an ERA of two. Seven O, 30 strikeouts in seven
59:43
starts since May 3rd. Coming into today, one walk in
59:49
his last four starts highlighted.
59:53
Still didn't have any walks today so that's fine.
59:55
One walk in his last five starts, including today.
1:00:01
Highlighted by his start against the Astros on May 31st where he
1:00:05
went all nine, giving up just three runs with six KS.
1:00:10
What was what was his final line tonight?
1:00:13
6 innings, eight hits, four earned runs, six KS.
1:00:19
Yeah, it's not going to really get it done for the Canon, you
1:00:22
know, but it, you know, as we talked about integrity and up
1:00:27
not going to change the rules. He deserves the credit Cannon
1:00:31
for coming in for numbers coming into today.
1:00:33
His teammate Drew Rasmussen coming into today, four and O
1:00:40
with an ERA of .62. That's 0.62 with 24 strikeouts
1:00:47
and five starts since May 17th. According to Optus Stats, he is
1:00:52
the first pitcher in the American League in American
1:00:54
League history to have a four start span with a four and O
1:00:57
record zero runs allowed, 10 or fewer hits allowed and three or
1:01:03
fewer walks allowed all. Right.
1:01:06
That's a good run. That is a good run.
1:01:10
It's a good run. On the year he's got a 222 with
1:01:14
a whip of sub one whip .9. I I bet he gets flipped whether
1:01:22
the Rays are in the hunt or not. I could see that because I think
1:01:24
he's got to be close to end of control.
1:01:27
Yeah, with some injury history like this might be the best time
1:01:30
to move them. Like it may not ever be this
1:01:34
high of a value. I mean, they are a postseason
1:01:37
team as of this moment. I get it.
1:01:42
Let's see what that contract is real quick.
1:01:48
Yeah, Club option next year. 31 years old.
1:01:54
I bet he gets moved. I can see him like as AI could
1:01:59
see him as like a cub, something like that.
1:02:07
I didn't have him, I didn't have a note jotted down to mention
1:02:10
it, but Sandy Alcantara had had a nice little bounce back.
1:02:14
I believe his last start out so, or maybe last.
1:02:18
Was it last two starts? I think maybe.
1:02:20
I'm rooting for that. I need that because I'd like to
1:02:22
see him elsewhere. Well, you yeah, you mentioned
1:02:24
Cubs. I think the Cubs have been and I
1:02:27
think we even talked about it actually at one point where Cubs
1:02:29
are possibly in on that, you know, the the freaking Dodgers
1:02:34
are going to be in on any, any of these names.
1:02:37
Yeah. Well, to be fair, they they
1:02:39
actually kind of do need it because they're they got nobody.
1:02:42
As we talked about, they have an entire Major League team on
1:02:47
their IL right now. Yeah, that's all anyone ever
1:02:49
wants to talk about. Every broadcast ever.
1:02:58
All right. I covered the two rays lastly
1:03:00
here and it's not even for a statistical job well done.
1:03:08
This is a first of its kind. Did we talk about these catches
1:03:14
from Denzel Clark? My.
1:03:18
Word has he in in his short time, has he just like inserted
1:03:26
himself into the conversation of like best defensive center
1:03:29
fielder in baseball? I mean this is this is crazy.
1:03:34
It's insane. It's insane.
1:03:37
I think it's he's got what I think there have been like 4.
1:03:44
I know of. 33 I thought there was 32, but I went back and
1:03:47
checked. I think there was actually four.
1:03:49
I think it was May 30th. Scaled the wall in against the
1:03:54
Jays to rob Alejandro Kirk. And then there was that like
1:03:59
full speed Sprint against the OS yard sale on the ground after he
1:04:05
hit the wall. June 6 off off the bat of Mateo
1:04:09
Jorge Mateo full speed into the wall.
1:04:12
That was June 6th. June 9th was the the one that I
1:04:18
think made made waves where he scaled the wall, hung out there
1:04:23
for a little bit, made the catch, came back down.
1:04:26
He was like parallel with the wall.
1:04:28
I think I'm going to, I think I'm going to go ahead and join
1:04:30
the camp that that Jenny Kavnar in that broadcast booth is, is
1:04:37
ruining moments at this point. It's not just.
1:04:41
Our guy friend of the pod, Dallas, really, really let it
1:04:46
eat. He did for that, for that catch
1:04:48
he did. I think we just leave it there.
1:04:52
Yeah, I think we just leave it there.
1:04:53
Our our friend of the pod, friend of the pod, Dallas Raiden
1:04:56
did a great job in the booth for that call.
1:05:01
Yeah, I think that's, I think we just.
1:05:03
I know I remember a couple episodes ago, 'cause we were
1:05:05
like, is she gone Like it 'cause remember the last catch Denzel
1:05:09
Clark made where you're like, that wasn't her calling it.
1:05:13
I wonder if she's been moved to a new role.
1:05:18
Well, I think we know. No, no.
1:05:20
And then I think June 10th as well, going back to that list of
1:05:24
four, I think it was the the one that Chanel hit.
1:05:33
I don't know, kids a stud kids. An absolute freak, fun to watch.
1:05:41
A an athletic freak close the book here.
1:05:46
Just a couple items before we before we sign off Matt Chapman
1:05:52
to the 10 day IL with the sprained right hand.
1:05:58
And then as of today, I think it was reported by the Tigers that
1:06:02
Jackson Job, who I believe was my Rookie of the year pick.
1:06:08
Was it let? Me confirm I should know this,
1:06:15
but I'm like 99% sure. Yeah, I had.
1:06:20
Yeah, dude, I had Bubba, Chandler and Jack.
1:06:25
So I got time for Bubba running low.
1:06:30
Some of these rookie narratives are just they're I think they've
1:06:33
they've took off you. Get caught up.
1:06:34
You get caught up in the Yeah, I, I've have Jack Hagley on.
1:06:39
So like I'm feeling feeling like that could.
1:06:41
You beat the buzzer for sure. That was a that was a good call.
1:06:45
And I remember texting you before the season.
1:06:46
I was like his ETA is I think technically 2020.
1:06:50
I remember saying I was like, Nah, the kids raking, yeah, he's
1:06:52
coming. He's he's fine.
1:06:55
Think you reeled off some spring training numbers or something.
1:06:57
I was like, OK, I gotcha. I think he had like a 1500 OPS
1:07:01
in spring training or something. It was.
1:07:03
Ridiculous spring training or not, that's insane.
1:07:10
Like you're you're still heading off professional arms at the end
1:07:13
of the day. But yeah, Jackson, Joe.
1:07:15
Will maybe they're not professional when when you're
1:07:17
done with them anymore you. Know that's true, yeah.
1:07:20
He probably ended some careers honestly right then and there,
1:07:23
yeah. But yeah, Jackson Joe will
1:07:25
undergo TJ. So he will be out probably until
1:07:30
the end of next year, if not 2027.
1:07:36
On the year he used four and one with a 422 with a whip of 149.
1:07:43
So that's tough, tough. He had a few good starts there
1:07:49
for the the old Motor City Kitties.
1:07:55
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that nickname personally.
1:07:59
Some mine. I'm not that I'm not that
1:08:02
creative, but anyway, anything you got Oh up any update on on
1:08:10
your search for APS 2 so we can? Yeah, yeah, I've been looking
1:08:17
this up. I think I need to start.
1:08:18
I need to start branching out on the search, but I've been
1:08:21
looking on an offer up. You need to tell Paige to look
1:08:25
on. Facebook Marketplace, I just
1:08:27
need a stealer phone and do it. But I've yeah, because I had
1:08:31
there's a lot of the old full size ones which I will do.
1:08:36
Those are said I have to imagine.
1:08:38
I mean I'm not I I never had a PS2 but I have to imagine those
1:08:41
are still lighter than the OG Xbox is correct?
1:08:44
Tough to say. Those are big boys.
1:08:46
Those are arguably the biggest ones, but I found a couple of
1:08:51
I'm just trying. I don't feel like going through
1:08:53
the process of like selling mine and meeting up with someone.
1:08:56
So I was just like, what if we can just I'll give you my PS4
1:08:58
and all my games for your much older PlayStation two and like,
1:09:03
if you want to resell this, then like the PS2 is worth more.
1:09:07
Nah, the PS2 I would argue is for.
1:09:09
I mean, I'm not a. Game I don't know, but based on
1:09:11
my searches, not really. Not really.
1:09:14
Plus all the games that I still have.
1:09:17
You said this is a three or a four.
1:09:20
I have a four. I want a 2.
1:09:24
I think if you had a three, then we we very would three.
1:09:27
I'd be out on very, very clearly know the answer on what what's
1:09:31
bringing more value. But four?
1:09:32
Yeah, it's still. I found one person that's
1:09:35
willing to trade, but he's got the the old thicky PlayStation
1:09:39
2. There's a guy that has the
1:09:41
PlayStation 2 Slim and all the cords and controllers and it's
1:09:45
like and memory cards because it's back in those days.
1:09:49
It's important. Boy, I was like, yo, I let's
1:09:53
just swap. Dude.
1:09:54
Like yours looks great. And he's like, now cash only.
1:09:59
So yeah. At the very least.
1:10:01
Might have to just sell mine. It would be helpful if you
1:10:05
brought it because I'm going to be bringing some some other gear
1:10:08
and I may not have room. To do this, I got you, I got
1:10:12
you. Do you think it's worth it if I
1:10:13
just get the big boy PlayStation 2?
1:10:17
Do those require memory cards? Yeah.
1:10:22
I don't know about that life over here in Xbox.
1:10:23
World. That's the thing too, is that
1:10:25
this guy has no games. It's just the PlayStation two.
1:10:28
Well. We get the games.
1:10:30
This is kind of a RIP, like I'm giving you 15 games in a
1:10:34
PlayStation 4. Like you can resell this for a
1:10:38
lot more than whatever you're trying to sell this for, you
1:10:40
know what I mean? If you have no idea what we're
1:10:42
talking about, we'd we've decided that we are essentially
1:10:46
going to run a World Series worth of games on MVPO 5 when
1:10:54
we're in Atlanta for the All Star game.
1:10:56
We might even run a couple World Series.
1:10:57
Dude. We, I think we can, we'll be
1:11:00
able to squeeze a lot of games in.
1:11:02
Yeah, we will. Stand up till 234 in the morning
1:11:04
just. I will.
1:11:05
I'm not kidding, I will. Can't wait.
1:11:09
I'm maybe it's going to be tough.
1:11:13
I'll try. You're already walking it back.
1:11:17
I can already see you're going to be out by 8.
1:11:20
My closing thought is have we talked about like the building
1:11:24
submarines thing? Build submarines.
1:11:28
Yeah, how? It's just everywhere.
1:11:32
What is that? Is that your?
1:11:33
Is that your? The point you're making?
1:11:34
This is just everywhere. Yeah, well, I just saw it in the
1:11:37
at the Royals backstop and I'm like, what's what's going on?
1:11:42
What are we? Somebody's got to build them.
1:11:48
Are we still using them? Yeah, well, we won't be able to
1:11:53
if nobody builds them. That's why they need to build
1:11:55
them buildsubmarines.com. For what?
1:11:57
For what? Things you don't even want to
1:12:01
know. I don't like the ocean as is so.
1:12:06
So let's leave it to the people in the submarines.
1:12:09
The very the least we can do is build them for them.
1:12:12
So that's what that to answer your question, that's what it's
1:12:15
all about. I just want to know what they're
1:12:17
spending on advertising on a yearly basis.
1:12:21
Got to spend money to build build submarines as they say.
1:12:26
That's the thing. That is the thing.
1:12:28
All right, that's it. You got to go eat dinner.
1:12:29
I got to go eat dinner. Yeah, it's 1020 and I'm going to
1:12:33
go go up and sit down at the table and enjoy some some
1:12:36
dinner. Yep.
1:12:39
Tough. That's on me.
1:12:40
That's on me. Hey, it's all good.
1:12:41
I'll wear it. I'll wear it.
1:12:45
All right, guy. Good stuff.
1:12:47
You keep up the good work. Likewise, everybody have a great
1:12:51
rest of your week. I'm always tempted to say have a
1:12:55
great weekend. So you know what?
1:12:56
I'm just going to say it because tomorrow's Thursday and it's
1:13:00
basically Friday and we all know the Friday.
1:13:03
Doesn't count. Doesn't count, so happy weekend.
1:13:05
Don't. Go chasing curveballs.
1:13:08
We love you all and as always, looking forward to talking more
1:13:10
baseball with you guys soon. Until next time, stay filthy.
