What’s Happening in the American League? · The 3-0 Take

0:00
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Tape where we talk
0:04
all things Major League Baseball.
0:06
Here's Kyle Corwin and Nate Reyes.
0:10
It all starts right now. Welcome back to the Theoretic
0:17
presented by Chinook Cedery this episode 540.
0:20
I'll be your host, Kyle Cord. I'm here with my Co host Nate
0:23
Reyes. Nate.
0:25
KC How are we? So I was thinking today, earlier
0:32
today and I mentioned to you before we hopped on, I said I
0:35
got something food related for you which I know you love.
0:38
Always in on. You love talking food.
0:40
I love talking food. I'd venture to say most people
0:43
listening and or watching also enjoy talking food.
0:47
My question for you. This is what I was thinking
0:50
about earlier today. OK.
0:53
This is a thought I had earlier today.
0:55
This is sort of what I was thinking about.
0:59
Just, you know, as I'm going about my day, this thought comes
1:02
to me. Now count that.
1:03
All right, No, here's really my thought.
1:06
You know, the whole 999 challenge that you know, has
1:10
seemingly become more more popular over the the last
1:13
handful of years. Sure.
1:16
I'm just going to go ahead and say typically I would say I'm
1:19
not going to speak for you, but I think I'm going to go ahead
1:21
and speak for you and say that neither of it or one, I don't
1:24
drink beer, but two, for you, I don't think, I don't think
1:27
you're doing this either. Is that safe to say?
1:30
Very safe to say. No shot.
1:33
Nate's doing the 999 challenge. I don't think I could have more
1:35
than three hot dogs. And if you don't, if you if you
1:39
don't know what the 999 challenge is, 9 hot dogs, 9
1:43
beers in nine innings. Here's my thought.
1:48
Here's my question. Is there something that you
1:53
could substitute out for beer and hot dogs that you could do
1:59
in nine innings? Sort of a little customization,
2:05
but you're still doing a 999 challenge, just your version of
2:10
it. Well I I do know 9 Doctor
2:12
Peppers is absolutely in the cards for me.
2:18
OK, that's a that's a good start.
2:20
So 9 Doctor Peppers, what do you, what do you, what do you,
2:25
you know, adding to the mix here in this 9 inning stretch?
2:31
It's tough, man, It's tough. I don't, I don't know 'cause
2:35
like what else out there is like the equivalent to a hot dog?
2:43
It doesn't have to be an. Equivalent though.
2:46
That's it. This is your exercise.
2:48
Is this is this at the park or can I can I open it up to can I
2:54
open up the realm? Be in the yeah, I mean in the
2:57
park, but I mean or it could be something that maybe you fit 9
3:00
in. I mean, just looking behind you
3:03
here, behind myself, if you could fit nine of those single
3:08
use Chinook seed bags in maybe maybe you count that that.
3:15
'D be wild, I mean. You think there's anything in
3:19
the ballpark you could eat 9 of in a nine inning regulation
3:23
game? Cotton candies.
3:30
I haven't had it in a long time, but I'd assume it's pretty
3:32
light. Laura in the chat. 9 cokes, 9
3:35
ice creams, 9 nachos. That 9 nachos is tough because
3:41
like. Well, hold on, here's the thing.
3:42
Jalapenos that and. Laura's adding a whole other
3:46
layer to this because it's usually the the traditional 999
3:50
challenges, 9 beers, 9 hot dogs, 9 Indians.
3:52
She's going no, I'll take the 9 Cokes, 9 ice cream design
3:57
nachos. I like cotton candy.
4:00
That's a great, that's a good answer.
4:02
It's light. It's light.
4:03
That's a lot of sugar, though. Yeah, with.
4:07
Doctor Peppers. Yeah, they might be diabetes by
4:10
the end of the day, but it's doable.
4:12
Sure sure, I do like nachos too. I don't know because like, I
4:20
don't think burgers is a fair swap.
4:22
Absolutely. I would take my chances with hot
4:24
dog. I mean, I'd throw it by their
4:26
way. Can we find uncrustables
4:28
somewhere in the park? Now that's, that's the move.
4:33
Nine Doctor Peppers, 9 Uncrustables and 9 innings.
4:37
I could do that. You could try that from home.
4:39
I could do that. You could swing that from home.
4:41
You don't need to be at the ballpark.
4:43
I I could do that. I've got.
4:47
I've got that in me for sure. I'll give you the out too.
4:50
I want I want you to try that and I'll give you the out of
4:53
diet doctor Peppers so that you're not actually getting
4:56
doctor. Taste.
4:56
I don't like taste, all right? Well, then we'll we'll run our
4:59
risk with the with the blood sugar.
5:01
But I want you to the. Doctor Bill I.
5:03
Want you to give it a shot. All right, I like that.
5:06
Uncrustables, Dr. Pepper and a nine inning regulation game.
5:11
I'm about it. Yeah.
5:15
You said you had some you had You said you had something food
5:18
related for us. Before we get in the ball, talk
5:20
I. Mean I think it's just a a very
5:27
budget friendly order we're recording late on a Thursday
5:32
daddy hasn't eaten yet wife is at a happy hour with a
5:37
girlfriend hey, what if we swing through McDonald's on the way
5:43
home and here's why it's a reasonable question I'm.
5:48
Tired of the shaming of McDonald's, by the way.
5:50
Like every two every now and then.
5:52
Like, relax, people. Yeah.
5:57
OK, so here's the here's the key.
5:59
OK, you can get like a $5 meal and you get a Mcdouble, small
6:06
fry, four piece Mcnugget and a small drink. 5 bucks.
6:12
Yep, hit me with two of those, one with the Mcdouble, one with
6:16
the spicy Mcchicken. 10 bucks. I mean for that quantity.
6:25
I, I mean, I, I feel like you'd you'd be one of those would be
6:29
sufficient, but you know, I to each the.
6:31
One, I've found that 1 1/2 is about right.
6:35
So what we do is we get 3 jackpot Bingo and we share it.
6:44
So you're welcome secrets out. You don't have to go there and
6:48
it costs $18.00 anymore. It is absurd.
6:51
What? That's why you got to use the
6:53
app, the McDonald's apps where you get all the savings.
6:57
I'm here to save you you. Are a big app guy.
7:00
King of the coupon you are. Let's talk ball.
7:05
Is that why we're here? Yeah, I think, well, you know, I
7:10
think we just need to, we need to cut the cord and just go all
7:15
in on the food podcast that I mean, we're, we've been teasing
7:19
that for years at this point. I mean, we could talk like.
7:24
Just know it so well, food. At the ballpark if we really
7:28
wanted to incorporate baseball into it, but at the end of the
7:31
day, I think I think we just need to go all in on the food
7:34
podcast. Nonetheless though, we're going
7:38
to talk ball tonight. And Nate, let me just remind you
7:42
that we have essentially arrived at the end of May, which I think
7:48
I think we can all agree as baseball fans, we as a result
7:54
are now upon June. I think we can all agree there.
7:57
And with that knowledge, I think we can also state the obvious in
8:05
that now that we are in the month of June, we can no longer
8:10
in our discourse about the happenings in Major League
8:13
Baseball or with our respective. Filler words tonight.
8:17
With our respective favorite team, we can no longer say that
8:21
it's early. We are now a third of the way
8:24
through the season. I did the math myself.
8:27
I. Don't think I like hearing that
8:29
out loud. Does that not?
8:31
That doesn't make you feel good. Does it sit well?
8:34
We're 1/3 of the way through the season.
8:35
Many teams are. What did I say?
8:39
What was the math I was doing? I think a majority of teams have
8:42
played 55 ish, give or take. Yeah, 50, yeah, we'll just call
8:47
it 55. I'm seeing that's sort of the
8:49
average around the league. 55 games, third away, third of the
8:53
way through the season. It's no longer early and we are
8:57
going to talk about the league that coming into the season, I
9:00
don't think many people really knew what was going to happen.
9:05
And I think we're still at a point in the year only being a
9:09
third of the way through where I don't think we've gotten much
9:12
clarity on what exactly is going to happen.
9:14
But we have a third of the season's worth to talk about
9:18
with the American League. So Nate, let's dive into the
9:21
American League. What's happening around the the
9:24
American League? What's jumping out at you?
9:27
What's sticking out to you? What's disappointing you?
9:30
How? Much it stinks how underwhelming
9:34
it is. But we it, that can be, that can
9:39
be an observation, but that can be an observation.
9:43
But it can't it. That doesn't mean it has to be a
9:46
surprise. We knew that it was going to be
9:48
underwhelming. But you're saying not not to
9:51
this level? Not to this low, not to this
9:54
low. I mean this is what is it.
9:56
About it. That's that's throwing you off.
10:02
There's, there's just teams that I, I had better expectations
10:07
for. There's teams that I don't think
10:12
are as bad as their record says. But then when you watch them and
10:18
you look at the stats, you're like, that's pretty bad.
10:21
You know what I mean? Like if if you were to tell me,
10:27
if you were to talk to somebody that hasn't watched baseball all
10:30
this season, hasn't watched a single pitch and you just went
10:35
through some teams that are under 500, you'd be like, no
10:40
way. I get that they're they didn't
10:43
have the best offseason. I get that they are in a weaker
10:48
league and or Division I, I get this, I get that.
10:52
But there's no way. You look at these teams and
10:54
you're just like, how? How are you weighing down the
10:58
league this bad? I've got a nugget for you, a
11:05
team that I think falls in that category, the Baltimore Orioles.
11:08
And I don't want to pick on the Orioles too much.
11:10
We've taken our shots in the in the in the recent days, recent
11:13
weeks. But a team that you thought, how
11:17
in the world could you be weighing down this league,
11:21
specifically the American League, so bad in my Boston Red
11:26
Sox? Another one.
11:28
And looking at the Baltimore Orioles at night, currently
11:31
sitting at 19 and 3616 games back of the division, it's not
11:38
even June 16 games back in the division.
11:43
My aforementioned Red Sox are closer to the Baltimore Orioles
11:49
than they are to the New York Yankees.
11:54
The 4th place Boston Red Sox, who I'm not going to call him
11:58
dead just yet, but who many, myself included, had them making
12:03
a run in the postseason, possibly winning the division,
12:07
possibly even ending up in the World Series.
12:09
And again, a lackluster American League, are currently closer to
12:15
the Baltimore Orioles, who by the way, only have one more win
12:21
in the win column than the Chicago White Sox, who need I
12:25
remind you we're the worst team in baseball last season.
12:29
What is happening in the American League right now?
12:35
And then your your point last, what was it last episode about
12:38
the the Yankees somehow being better?
12:43
I don't think you were. I think I.
12:45
Wasn't in that camp before the season.
12:47
No, but I think when I heard that, I think I sort of you
12:53
scoffed. I scoffed and what felt like for
12:56
good reason. But then I'm I'm digging around
12:59
a little bit and I'm like hold, hold the phone.
13:02
Is there something here? Nine and one in their last 10
13:07
and then I'm digging around your point about them not necessarily
13:10
needing the home run them manufacturing runs.
13:13
I'm sitting there watching the game that they played who who'd
13:17
they play last night. The Angels.
13:19
I think they swept the angels doing exactly what you're
13:22
saying. I'm like, OK, maybe this team,
13:25
whether or not they're they're going to be better is we'll
13:27
we'll see. But they're definitely, they
13:29
definitely have a different identity than they did last year
13:32
leading. All the baseball and run
13:33
differential. It's crazy, man, It's crazy.
13:39
And then let's. Sizeable lead in that category.
13:42
Not that we have to leave the American League East right away,
13:44
but in just just talking initial reactions here, the American
13:48
League Central has four teams, the only division of baseball
13:51
right now with 3030 plus wins. I love that.
13:55
I'm a big fan of this. I like looking at it.
13:59
You know when you just pull up the standings and you're and
14:01
you're checking stuff out? I like looking at it.
14:05
I like that they're all good at home.
14:10
I like that they're, I mean, on average around 500 on the road.
14:19
I like that we haven't seen the best out of the Royals yet and
14:23
they're in fourth place. I don't think we've seen the
14:27
Royals yet. I don't think they're there yet.
14:33
Well, like I said, we're we're knocking on the door of June.
14:36
So we're going to be past the point of being like, well, it's
14:40
still early. Like at some point sooner or
14:43
later we're going to have to start talking about the Royals
14:45
maybe being a team. That's only not to say they
14:48
they're not, they're incapable of going on a run, but maybe we
14:53
have to look elsewhere in the division for a, for a, for a
14:58
team to crown down down the road.
14:59
Because I mean, I'll tell you what, this Tigers team, we
15:02
talked about him a little bit last episode with Tarek Skubal
15:05
and, and, and everything he's doing in that offense.
15:07
Like my goodness, I, I don't think the most.
15:12
Wins in baseball, man, that's. The best team in baseball.
15:14
Yeah, I mean, that's that's what I'm talking about.
15:16
This American League makes no sense.
15:18
I mean, the Tigers being good I think was predictable, but I I
15:23
don't think now a third of the way through the season, I don't
15:26
know if I had them pegged as the best team in not just the
15:28
American League, but all of baseball.
15:32
And I don't feel like the Twins or Guardians are even playing
15:35
that bad of all. They're hanging around, they're
15:41
hanging around. They would be the tide for first
15:48
in the West and they'd be healthily in second place in the
15:53
East. You know, that's a good
15:57
division. Also, I'm I'm holding on to
16:02
receipts on the Guardians, by the way.
16:05
Oh please, please, please expand.
16:08
Please share. I'm holding on to receipts
16:10
because I recall in a group chat that a lot of people were out on
16:17
the Guardians and they said that they weren't very good.
16:20
I I believe we were talking over unders and we're talking overall
16:25
win total this year, which before the season was 82 1/2.
16:31
And I said I was hammering that over.
16:36
I'm not sitting here saying they're going to win the
16:39
division, but I think it's this is for the forming.
16:45
I think they could definitely sneak into a walk.
16:48
This is for the Guardians or for the OK.
16:51
I was holding on to that. I'm holding on to those
16:53
receipts. For a second I thought you were
16:55
talking about the Mariners, the American League West leading
16:58
Seattle Mariners. True, true.
17:01
No, I'm with you, though. I mean, that's I, I, I do
17:04
recall, I, I do declare that you, you were not wanting to
17:10
sleep on the Guardians. Fair enough.
17:13
I mean, I'm not standing up. I'm not standing up, but I'm
17:17
like. You're not going to die on that
17:18
hill. I'm laying there with my eyes
17:21
open. I'm not sleeping well laying
17:23
there. I mean, you're going to have to
17:27
say you're well, that sounds a little bit like riding the fence
17:30
because you're saying I'm not going to I'm not going to die on
17:33
the hill of the Cleveland Guardians.
17:34
But on the in the same breath saying I'm keeping receipts.
17:36
Watch your watch your mouth. I'm.
17:38
Keeping receipts on the wind total.
17:41
But I don't want this to be misconstrued.
17:43
I don't want to. I don't want this to be digested
17:47
as if Nate is calling calling the guardians the best team in
17:53
in the AL. That's not what I'm trying to
17:55
say. But 82 1/2 was AI think a bit of
17:58
a a disgrace. I think that was a bad line.
18:02
I think that was a smack in the face.
18:04
Was it though? Because I think you and I both,
18:07
I mean, I don't remember how you, how you had the Central
18:10
finishing out. I had the Royals winning the
18:12
division. And if I recall, did you have
18:15
the Tigers winning the division? No, the Guardians.
18:18
Oh, you did OK, so they're OK. So I stand corrected.
18:22
By the Guardians, Royals, Tigers finishing third all the way by
18:27
by the way, these win totals are crazy, 82 1/2 for the Guards, 82
18:33
1/2 for the Royals, 83 1/2 for the Tigers, 83 1/2 for the
18:37
Twins. We're looking at potential overs
18:41
for all of them. Suck on that.
18:44
I would. Love, I would love and I may
18:49
change my mind about this tomorrow, but in this moment,
18:52
that's what I'm. Saying I'm not willing to like.
18:54
In this moment where I sit right now on May 29th at 10:12 PM
19:01
Eastern Standard Time, it's late.
19:04
I, I'm, I want, I want 3 American League Central teams in
19:10
there. I want 3 American League Central
19:13
teams because, because I can tell you what my age, I don't
19:17
know how many times how many more times I can go to bat for
19:20
you this year. Yeah, I'd, I don't know how much
19:29
more I can defend you guys. You're, you're, you're, you're
19:32
falling on your face. You're 1 and 9 in your last 10.
19:36
You lost three. You're you've currently lost
19:39
three straight. You've given up 336 runs, which
19:47
is second worst to the Rockies, who may as well have already
19:56
given up 600 runs this year. So if the, if this is what the
20:03
A's are going to be, and I know I've joked a bit, said like
20:06
well. Suck at home so bad.
20:08
What's that about? Severino was on to something.
20:14
You know, if this is, if this is like, well, no, what I was
20:17
saying is, you know, I I joke around that while the A's just
20:20
giving the league a head start so they can they can respond
20:25
with a triumphant it's. A bit of a yoke.
20:28
Bounce back into a wild card spot this.
20:32
I don't think this is a team that's capable of doing that and
20:35
it's disappointing me them. In the wild card.
20:38
Though I did on hot takes, did I not?
20:40
I'm like 90% sure. I feel like you've been like no,
20:44
I would wrongly I would have had.
20:48
No, I definitely put. I definitely put them in.
20:54
Come on now, You got me second guessed myself.
20:55
I definitely. I've been.
20:56
I've been banging the drum all season.
21:00
Here we go, 2025 picks. Yeah, they're my final wild card
21:03
spot. That is crazy.
21:05
That's a well. Did you get a little caught up
21:08
in like the hot? The hotness of hot takes you
21:12
feel looking back? No, I, I had my reasons.
21:18
I had my reasons and I stood. I stood on that ground and
21:22
they're just crumbling before our eyes.
21:26
But I'm not giving up on games. They look, they look good.
21:29
I, I they look bad. You know what?
21:32
You know what's crazy? You can go ahead.
21:33
And laugh all you want the the, excuse me, the Sacramento Las
21:38
Vegas A's. They're in last place, but
21:43
they're only 8 1/2 games back in the division.
21:45
The Red Sox are 9 1/2 games back in their division.
21:49
So who's laughing? Now.
21:52
Who's got a better shot at making the post season as of
21:55
today? Math would tell you the A's.
22:00
Let's revisit the East real quick.
22:02
Putting a putting a bow on this Yankees.
22:05
Talk to me about your Yankees. Is this I mean, I, I know it's
22:12
early technically still and I know that I said we can't stay
22:17
early for much longer. Once it hits June, that's out
22:20
the window. So technically it's still early,
22:25
but is this the Yankees division this year?
22:30
I think Cashman has to have a really good deadline.
22:34
What? Well, tell talk to me about what
22:36
weaknesses you're seeing because the best run differential run
22:40
differential in baseball, they're like you said, they're
22:43
manufacturing. They're not necessarily having
22:45
to rely on on on hot streaks from from power bats.
22:49
Yeah, they're playing better defense.
22:50
They're they lack righties in their lineup.
22:56
They lack anybody outside of judge from the right side and
23:01
and Goldie like there's there's just not a lot of depth.
23:04
They really don't take advantage of lefties the way they should.
23:10
And what's weird is that like in years past that they've been
23:12
like too righty heavy. So maybe Stanton coming back
23:16
helps that. But like there's like this kind
23:19
of like a little bit of a log jam DH when he comes back
23:24
because like Rice is hitting enough to get his fair shake.
23:31
But obviously like Goldie is at 1st and really good defensively.
23:35
So like, I don't, I don't know what that looks like.
23:40
They're forcing DJ Lemahieu right now.
23:42
I think he gets DFA Ed long before the deadline.
23:46
At this rate, I think Lemahieu is dead in the water.
23:49
He looks awful. So I don't know, there's no
23:55
third baseman on the on the market that they can go and get.
24:00
Chances are they're going to have to look at second base.
24:03
So that means Jazz is probably going to move to 3rd.
24:06
That's what I saw today, yeah. So it's like it's stuff like
24:11
that. And then I I am hesitant on
24:17
Carlos Rodon. I know he looks really good so
24:19
far this year. I just you're.
24:22
Waiting for the shoe to drop. I kind of am, yeah.
24:26
I kind of AM kind of waiting for for some people to come back
24:32
down to earth to like Trent Grisham's been nice.
24:35
This has been fun. But I you're not a you're not a
24:40
2 hole hitter every day. And that's kind of what Boone is
24:44
throwing out there. But I don't know that the rest
24:48
of the division just doesn't look tough enough.
24:50
I do think that, like the Rays front loading all of their home
24:54
games right now because of trying to avoid rain late in the
24:58
season, I think that's going to kind of bring them back down a
25:04
little bit. I could see the Red Sox like
25:11
playing well enough to creep back up into like a second spot.
25:16
But yeah, I kind of feel like the Yankees already have this
25:19
division. I'm going to clip that one.
25:23
Yeah, I'm going to clip that one.
25:27
You brought it up. That's fair.
25:29
Putting a bow on this question for you.
25:33
Give me ignore, ignore standings, ignore win loss
25:39
records. OK, give me your top two teams
25:46
that aren't currently division leading teams that you're going
25:51
to be excited about most slash have your eye on the most moving
25:57
forward now that we're 1/3 of the way through the season.
26:00
Non division leading teams in the American Leagues.
26:08
Can. I say, can I say why?
26:10
Like it doesn't have to be a positive thing.
26:13
I'm just going to have my eyes on them.
26:14
Yeah, it. Doesn't matter where they're at
26:15
in their respective division standings, just two teams that
26:19
you're going to have your eye on.
26:21
One bad team I'm going to have my eyes on the Rangers because I
26:24
think that they have a lot of guys that they can sell off if
26:30
they don't figure it out. I think they could have a pretty
26:32
big seller's deadline. You think the you think the
26:37
Mariners? Names to impact like I I could
26:41
see degrom pitching in the playoffs wearing a different
26:43
uniform. I could see E of ALDI.
26:49
Wearing a different uniform? Yeah, Get let's get the socks
26:53
hot and bring, bring our son back home.
26:55
We need to bring him back home. I could see I could see some of
27:00
these names, you know, Jake Berger, like I, I could see some
27:02
of these guys going and being, but like Jake Burger is one of
27:06
those, no disrespect. Hey, say it.
27:09
Hey. No disrespect, you just shrugged
27:11
it when I said Jake Burger so you have to follow it up and no
27:14
disrespect, hey. Yeah, I'm in Jake Burger.
27:16
No disrespect bro. Pops 2530 home runs, man like
27:21
that's that's a a a beneficial piece somewhere.
27:29
So I have my eyes on them just because I think that they could
27:33
really like they have pieces on their Ross.
27:35
So it could really impact some buyers if they don't start
27:41
figuring it out, which is a really big disappointment
27:43
because coming into the season, like I think everyone that had
27:46
their head on straight was looking at that lineup and was
27:48
excited so. Correct me if I'm wrong.
27:52
I had them annoying. Did I had them in the World
27:55
Series, did I not? Yo, yeah, sure did.
27:59
This could be your worst prediction.
28:03
Had them win in the West. Why had them win in the West?
28:07
And in the World Series, yeah, crazy.
28:09
All right, Other team, Rangers and who?
28:11
And then we're moving on. Royals.
28:14
Royals because I think they're really good.
28:17
And you? Think there's something you
28:20
think they're just brewing. They're just.
28:22
I think that, yeah, it's just like a volcano, just like, hey,
28:26
there's stuff that's going on in there.
28:28
It could blow, they could pop off and you're responsible for
28:37
so many. Bro real quick on the volcano,
28:41
have you seen this? Not the like name drop products
28:46
here but did you see this whole I think it's like the Google AI
28:50
video stuff. No.
28:53
They were. It's called like VO3 or
28:55
something. Anyway, I saw a video the other
28:59
day where it was like this AI video and I, I mean, I could
29:04
kind of tell it was AI. That's the scary part.
29:08
That's what's. Scary and it's I've.
29:09
I've got an eye for this stuff because I, I mean, social media
29:12
is literally my job. So I'm seeing like these fakes
29:14
and not fakes like all the time. But this new thing they came out
29:17
with crazy. And there was a video of a guy
29:19
where he's like and for he was pretending.
29:21
The video was pretending as if the guy was a was an influencer
29:25
and he had a YouTube channel and the video was all right, guys,
29:29
for today's like reckless stunt, I'm going to be the first
29:32
influencer to jump into an active volcano and a guy just
29:36
turns around and jumps in the volcano and I'm like, there's
29:40
there's like a 60 year old out there right now that's sending
29:44
this to every member of their family saying 100.
29:47
Percent fully falling for it look.
29:49
At what's happening to our youths.
29:52
Yeah, the freaking youths. Crazy.
29:55
So that's all I was saying about.
29:57
You mentioned a volcano, that made me think of that.
30:00
Tricky. Yeah, Royals, just because I
30:03
think pitching is really good. Well, we know that they.
30:08
Just need a couple bats, bro. Just need a couple bats.
30:11
Get it? Get some support.
30:13
Also, Bobby Witt, our guy, Bobby Witt, he's having a good year.
30:18
But I'm going to need, I'm going to need.
30:20
I'm going to. Need.
30:20
Yeah, I'm. Going to need a little more
30:22
juice from our from our our guy Bobby Witt.
30:25
Yeah, he's we. Know what he's capable of.
30:28
He know we know what's in there. We talked about our boy Jack
30:31
coming up too. Get our guy Jack up there.
30:34
Yeah, and there could be some could be some pieces that they
30:38
had. So same thing with the Orioles,
30:41
you know what I mean? Like those are, those are like
30:43
there's some names on there, some impact names that are going
30:46
to be up for grabs at the deadline that say, hey, I'm
30:49
going to buy low on this cat. I don't know if they'll pop off.
30:52
At some point for some team, you're talking.
30:54
About the Orioles selling off, yeah, I don't I think the
30:58
Orioles are allergic to making transactions, whether it's
31:01
adding or subtracting. I they just say these are the
31:05
guys we've got and this is who is on our team and we're not
31:11
going to change that they're. Probably not wrong.
31:15
Cedric Mullins hitting a post season home run for the Kansas
31:18
City Royals. I've seen Cedric.
31:20
I've seen Cedric to the Phils floating around a little bit.
31:23
That'd be. Tight.
31:24
I like that more. I like that more.
31:28
Ryan o'hearn is he? OK, I keep saying last thing
31:34
true last thing on this whole AL talk I heard on the broadcast, I
31:41
guess it would have been yesterday somebody said that
31:43
he's going to be like the the hottest or like most sought
31:49
after bat at the deadline. I'm like, is this really no hey,
31:54
no disrespect, Ryan, no disrespect obviously, but this
31:59
is this is what we have to look forward to at the deadline is
32:01
Ryan o'hearn again, no disrespect.
32:06
Want to want to want to really emphasize that really drive that
32:09
home, but I. Mean, I brought up Jake Burger
32:11
earlier so I don't really have a ton of room to talk but.
32:15
No, but I mean, this is like what?
32:16
What's being floated around out? There impact arms that are
32:21
available at the deadline than bats.
32:24
I I guess, I guess Speaking of arms, Bryce Harper got hit in
32:33
his the other day and didn't didn't look like it.
32:38
It felt very good. By the way, did he play in
32:41
tonight's game? I don't think he did.
32:43
They had a doubleheader today, didn't they?
32:45
They. Sure did he sat either.
32:47
Well that's what I'm checking to see.
32:48
He sat out Well they lost by 6 so I'm guessing not because if
32:54
he was in there today he would have my young, my young Prince
32:59
Bryce would have won him the game.
33:03
Can. I just find a box score man,
33:05
like, holy cow, everything but the lineup.
33:10
Yeah, my young my my young Prince Bryce was not in the game
33:14
tonight. So that's that explains it.
33:17
But yeah, he Spencer Strider comes up and in on him and it's
33:24
all sorts of nonsense about well, he came in on him
33:27
intentionally, folks. This was his, correct me if I'm
33:33
wrong, third start of the season.
33:36
Yeah. You don't think Spencer
33:38
Strider's still trying to iron some things out?
33:41
You think in his third start of the season he is going to put
33:44
himself in a position to possibly get ejected from a game
33:48
going after a guy who, like I've said before, has matured well
33:54
beyond his years? This is not the Bryce Harper of
33:56
old. So what reason would Spencer
33:59
Strider have for coming after Bryce Harper?
34:02
I don't know, he's pretty adamant in his post game
34:08
comments that like Bryce is one of the best players in the game.
34:13
Why would I do that? He said he is my king.
34:19
Yeah. I wish he was on our team.
34:21
Something like that. He's.
34:22
Better than he's, better than anybody we have.
34:26
Side note, I'm going to expose the line up, I'm going to expose
34:28
the group chat a little bit is do other people out there think
34:33
Spencer Schreider's little corny, the little little bit of
34:36
an odd duck? Is that a thing I.
34:39
Think he marches to the beat of his own drum, but I don't know
34:42
if I'd go as far. I mean, there's why.
34:44
Am I? Why is this a narrative that I
34:45
haven't heard? I.
34:46
Haven't, I haven't really heard it either.
34:48
I mean, there's you want it. There's plenty of other examples
34:50
of corniness in baseball. Plenty.
34:53
You don't even have to look outside of the division.
34:55
You don't. That's a that's a good starting
34:58
point. But yeah, this narrative is new
35:03
to me. But no, this, this whole, this
35:06
whole Spencer Schreider Harper thing was a big nothing burger.
35:11
Also side note on this, when when Bryce got hit, I don't know
35:16
if you heard the broadcast, John Crook was like, oh, and that
35:19
surgically repaired elbow also, I don't think that.
35:26
Plays a factor well, it's worth noting.
35:29
I don't think it plays a factor. Yeah, maybe not.
35:31
I mean, it just depends on where you get hit because they talk
35:34
about it all the time. When you get hit and you're not
35:36
wearing an elbow guard, they say you just hope to get hit on the
35:38
on that, on that. Fatty.
35:41
That's fatty stuff. I don't think he's ever really
35:43
had an elbow guard, has he? Shin guard?
35:47
I know shin guard for sure. Philly fanatic.
35:51
He's also worn long sleeves for like the last I don't.
35:58
Know 3. Or four years.
36:00
Interesting point. Does he?
36:01
Think that works the same as a noble guard I.
36:04
Don't know. He also occasionally will go no
36:08
no BGS. He he broke that out in the game
36:10
the other day, got a hit. I got to be honest, I used to
36:13
love to do that as a player. That was fun.
36:16
Just kind of frees you up a little bit mentally, physically.
36:19
Yeah, I'm. Oh, for my last 30, I'm taking
36:24
these batting gloves off. I'm rubbing my hands in the
36:27
dirt. I'm choking up.
36:28
I'm going to slap something to the right side.
36:30
Slap. This the other way every time,
36:34
every time I'm. Going to buy myself a little
36:37
bloop over the first base. Where you.
36:39
Go Yeah. 100. Percent yeah that's that's a
36:44
fair question the chat at what point are we getting extreme on
36:46
all these guards to your point we've.
36:48
Crossed that point man last. Last episode was it you were
36:52
talking about Acuna's. It was a knee guard I don't
36:55
think I've ever seen. Guard guy, I don't.
36:57
Think I've ever. He's covered.
36:59
That's knee carry toe. It's too much.
37:03
That's great. Well, I mean, if there's a guy
37:05
that was going to do it that that would probably feel a need
37:08
to do it, it would be Acuna. I wonder if you were to ask
37:11
Hakuni, like who his favorite player was growing up and I bet
37:14
he would say like Johannes Cespedes, you know?
37:18
He'd probably tell you like a like a transformer name or
37:23
something. Yeah.
37:24
Think that's what he's trying. Think that's what he's really
37:26
going for. Or like Bionicle.
37:28
You remember Bionicle back in the day?
37:31
I remember. Come on, I know you know
37:34
Bionicle. I don't bro.
37:39
I. Remember Barnacle Boy?
37:43
That is definitely not the same dude.
37:45
You know Bionicles they came in like these came in these tubes.
37:52
I. Mean we're on the screen.
37:53
I gotcha, here we go. If you're listening, I'm sorry
37:56
and this is a good reason to check out.
37:58
Check out YouTube here. We go.
38:00
That's the reason to just check out.
38:02
We haven't talked baseball in a while, Talking toys.
38:06
What is this movie? You don't remember these
38:09
bionicles? That's a nostalgic pick right
38:12
there. Do you?
38:12
Remember these now I remember. Those cup things, yeah, yeah.
38:15
Like the two, the plastic tubes they came in these things I
38:17
don't. Think I ever really had the
38:18
patience to build one of those? Nor did I, and I don't.
38:21
I never really played with them, but I at least I wasn't.
38:23
I wasn't a Lego guy either. I.
38:25
Knew of them. Yeah, all right.
38:28
I recall. Oh, it is Lego.
38:29
Look at the bottom. The bottom.
38:31
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
38:31
Sorry. I thought that.
38:32
I thought you knew that part. Yeah.
38:34
Lego Bionicle Lego set. Yeah, How about that?
38:38
But yeah, that's essentially you watch Star Wars at home and you
38:44
like it. Relax.
38:46
Relax. Sure.
38:48
Did Luke Skywalker's my guy? Acuna is bionicle.
38:52
That's you just. Watched baseball documentaries
38:54
since the age of three, I. Sure did.
38:58
I sure did. Yeah.
39:00
So the whole Spencer. Ted Williams hitting videos at 3
39:04
S. The science of hitting.
39:07
I'm sitting there taking notes on my Etch A Sketch.
39:11
No last, last thing on the the Harper thing.
39:18
Actually, no, I'm done. He's.
39:19
Tough man. He got hit in the face not too
39:22
long ago and got right back up. Have you see, I told you about
39:25
that video, by the way, where it had like, Bryce Harper and
39:28
LeBron side by side, like LeBron flopping and Bryce Harper taking
39:32
a fastball to the face. And it started a timer of who
39:35
got off the ground first. And Bryce Harper was up like,
39:41
oh. 2 minutes before. I.
39:43
I'm not even surprised. That's still hilarious, though.
39:47
That's I. That's too good.
39:51
But yeah, Spencer said. He's not.
39:53
I'm not a complete sociopath. I have some empathy.
39:56
Harper should be back any day. So yeah, this is a big, big.
39:59
Nothing. I don't need this.
40:00
I need spice. This is a rivalry, just like
40:04
what happened. Oh well, Speaking of that,
40:07
Speaking of our young like. Get off my plate.
40:10
Speaking of our come in, yeah. Speaking of our young Prince
40:13
Bryce Orlando Arcia got DFA the other day.
40:17
That's I just wanted to put that out there and got picked up by
40:20
the juggernaut Colorado Rockies. So good for Orlando Garcia.
40:25
Glad to see the trajectory of his career has really just taken
40:29
off anyway, those opportunities. Speaking of a guy whose career
40:35
might take off, Alexis Diaz was traded to the Dodgers, so he
40:38
might be getting a ring this year.
40:41
That news broke today. Annoying.
40:43
I'm so annoyed I. Mean when you saw the name
40:49
Alexis Diaz pop up, you saw traded and you see dodgers, how
40:55
surprised can you really be, especially when you take into
40:58
account look like let me check here, but Tanner Scott has not
41:05
been looking all that sharp. But I want to confirm.
41:09
I don't want to you know, no disrespect.
41:11
I don't want to no. Disrespect I.
41:13
Don't want to misspeak. I don't want to talk down on the
41:15
man's name. He's got a family after all.
41:18
But yeah, he's Sanders. Guy has not been looking good
41:21
this year. He's got a 462A WHIP of 111 O
41:27
and one on the year. He's got 10 saves, 4 holds.
41:31
But yeah, he's had some freaking stinker outings the last the
41:37
last week. Or we can change in fact
41:42
yesterday. Really like that teams are
41:49
willing to do like a buy low trade way before the deadline.
41:56
I'd like it, you say. OK.
41:58
You said you like it. I like because it's like, let's
42:01
try and buy low, see what we can squeeze out of this guy.
42:04
Maybe we're geniuses and then maybe it gets the deadline and
42:09
we're like, yeah, that guy stunk, Whatever, no harm, no
42:12
foul, you know what I mean? They've obviously seen something
42:17
in him in the past. I mean, he was he was good with
42:20
Cincinnati a few years ago. Last year was a clunker. 2023,
42:25
yeah. This year is obviously to a
42:27
rough start. I believe he's a free agent in
42:30
our fantasy league and he has totaled like -5 points on the
42:33
year. But we'll see.
42:37
I don't know, put him in a six inning role and put him in a
42:40
bullpen with a ton of other dudes that just are dudes.
42:45
See what happens if nothing happens?
42:47
Whatever, who cares? And let me just say, like, I'm
42:51
not saying that. I'm not suggesting that this is
42:53
the Dodgers attempt it or it's not their fix for the way Tanner
42:57
Scott's been pitching necessarily, but it's another
42:59
option for them to entertain considering they already have
43:02
like, a dozen. Yeah.
43:06
So that's that. Closers, like I bet if we were
43:10
to look up the number of guys that had saves in the year 2023,
43:18
there's probably like 7 or 8 of them that are now Dodgers.
43:27
Let's just say bet. I think that's a good line.
43:31
I'll put it at 6 1/2 and I'll I'll let you take the over or
43:37
the under. Dustin May.
43:44
Can we say he had saves at any point in 2023?
43:49
No, he would have been he would have been in the rotation with
43:51
him, right. Or was he was that the year he
43:53
was out I'm. Going to look my way, you look
43:55
your way. 2023, now he was there.
44:04
Had no saves in 2023. I don't.
44:07
I don't need to go through the whole bullpen, but Lou Trevino
44:12
definitely had saves, right? What I had, yeah, definitely had
44:17
saves in 2023. OK, I found it.
44:23
Wait, I'm. Not going through this whole,
44:26
I'm not going through this whole stuff.
44:27
Oh, I'm, I'm going to. OK, so Lexus DS Lou Trevino
44:31
didn't pitch 7 saves in 2023. Yeah.
44:35
I'll start a year. Lou Trevino did not pitch in
44:38
2023, so he's out. OK, OK.
44:43
Are we really doing this right now?
44:45
I'm. Just curious.
44:47
Evan Phillips, he's on the list. Yeah, Alex.
44:55
Vessia, I mean, he was on the team, but.
44:58
On the list? Tanner, Scott.
45:01
Right, Alex Vessia was. That 3?
45:05
Well, I don't know. Did Alex?
45:06
Vessy have stats or saves in 2023?
45:09
I don't. Even know if he if he did his
45:11
thing back then. He had one save.
45:13
Count it, Count it. Brusader, brusader Graderol.
45:17
That's 5. Bruised R Graderol.
45:24
Kirby Yates That's six would. You put it 5 1/2.
45:32
No 6 1/2. One more did you already say
45:37
Taylor Scott? Yeah, I already said Tanner
45:41
Scott. All right.
45:44
Well, somewhere on their IL I'm sure you've got.
45:49
I need this now. We're right there.
45:50
Oh. My gosh.
45:55
I need it. I'm trying to remember their
46:00
rest of their bullpen. We had a names.
46:03
Trying to see who's on their IL. They've got like a whole staff
46:06
on their IL. That's true.
46:08
Oh, Blake Trinen. Did you say Blake Trinen?
46:10
No, I didn't 7 boom Michael Kopek way over.
46:17
Smash the over. That's huge.
46:20
That's huge. That's a great.
46:22
Point or a great that was a. That was a fun fact.
46:26
That was a fun little stat. Fun stat is what I was going
46:29
for. Yep.
46:30
All right, let's talk, let's talk, let's talk.
46:35
Credit Saya Suzuki, our first recipient of this week's credit
46:42
cannon. Saya Suzuki hitting 380 with
46:49
four homers, 17 ribbies and an OPS of 1233 over the last 15
46:55
days. The first player wow the first
46:59
player to reach 50 RBIs this season and shot bro this stat.
47:07
What you got for me? Has left 103 runners on base
47:12
this year. What?
47:15
Which surprisingly is the 11th most in baseball and still Saya
47:20
Suzuki. He's left 100 and a. 103 runners
47:24
on base this year and still leads the league in RB is but
47:28
it's. Still only in 11th place for
47:30
that stat. Who's first Which?
47:32
Is crazy pulled up? That'd be great.
47:42
I don't even know how I'd find that.
47:45
How'd you find him? It was just a stat that I saw.
47:47
I saw it that I came across. You're just.
47:50
Willy nilly reading out stats. Well, I mean it helps when the
47:53
guy in front of you is hitting the way he's hitting.
47:56
It has a 388 on base and then he in half has a 347 on base, you
48:03
know. Oh, here we go.
48:06
You. Know the Cubs are.
48:09
Oh, here we go. Nolan Arenado and Vinny
48:12
Pasquantino. Wait a minute.
48:18
Didn't. OK.
48:22
Yeah, 112. Nolan. 112 for those two, but
48:30
still, the fact that he's leading the league in RB is
48:32
means he's still capitalizing enough to make a difference.
48:35
And boy, has he been going off these last two weeks.
48:38
That's right. That's right.
48:40
Brandon Lau is hitting 385, five points higher than, say, Suzuki
48:49
over that 15 day stretch. He's hitting 385 with six
48:52
homers, 10 ribbies, and an OPS of 12/26 in that span.
48:57
He is currently riding an 11 game hitting streak for the
49:01
second place Tampa Bay Rays. And pretty sure I just saw a hit
49:06
moments ago. So make it 12 for Brandon Lau.
49:11
Good to see. It's good to see because like it
49:14
was a couple years ago where everyone was like, oh, this guy
49:16
can hit and then it was like a couple years of like poop.
49:20
Yeah, No, no poop for Brandon. Well, I'm sure he's, I'm sure
49:24
he's regular, but you know, in terms of statistical output, no
49:28
poop. Still hitting only 250 by the
49:30
way. Well, you know, you got to start
49:33
somewhere and he's hitting 385 over the last two weeks, so good
49:36
for good. For you somewhere bad?
49:38
No, it's good. No poop, No poop for Brandon
49:43
Lau. Noah Cameron of the Kansas City
49:50
Royals has made four starts in his young career, according to
49:58
Optus Stats. Noah Cameron of the Royals is
50:00
the second left-hander in MLB is a modern era to pitch at least
50:04
six Indians while allowing no more than one run in each of his
50:07
first four career starts. The other was in 1981.
50:14
Fernando Valenzuela. So good cover for Noah Cameron.
50:19
I've heard of them as mentioned in that nugget from Optus Stats
50:23
6 Plus and each of his four, he's logged outings of 6.1.
50:29
Nah, I'm not going to say 6.1. That's just what it says. 6 and
50:32
a third, six and a third, six and two thirds, 6 and a third.
50:36
I'm just reading what I'm seeing on the screen.
50:38
Relax. 6.1. And 16 strikeouts across those
50:47
four starts. So he's he's getting out via
50:52
contact and making it work. Nice, love to see it Royals
51:00
pitching. Royals pitching as.
51:03
Good as certain. Next up, one of Nate's
51:08
favorites, Robbie Ray on the most punchable.
51:15
Face well. You going?
51:19
To take it back. Well, I mean, just because he's
51:22
pitching well over the last. Awesome.
51:26
Month or two doesn't change that fact.
51:30
Robbie Ray, since April 26, is 4 and O with an ERA of 162 and 44
51:37
strikeouts and six starts. Robbie Ray.
51:41
Going back to that April 26th mark, he's logged outings of
51:46
seven innings, 7 innings, 6 innings, 6 innings, 7 innings, 6
51:49
innings. Which maybe to you doesn't sound
51:53
all that impressive, but in an age where OK, Nate's pulling up
51:59
his headshot. And.
52:03
It's super washed out, so just take our word for it you.
52:07
Still want to punch it? No, I thought we we're out of
52:12
the punchable face thing. I didn't agree to that.
52:17
Yo, you, you definitely said that.
52:18
You said let's walk that back. And now it's becoming like the
52:21
the inconvenience thing, like the Super major inconvenience.
52:25
You know what I'm talking about. Like the the.
52:27
The condiment pack. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:30
Opening wrong. Yeah, Yeah, I know what you
52:35
mean. I I think that I think that.
52:40
Robbie Ray, as good as he's pitching, still deserves to have
52:45
his towel damp every time he gets out of the shower.
52:49
Talk about an inconvenience with like a slight mildewy smell that
52:53
sticks on you when you dry off. That's no fun.
52:56
That's the worst. In the chat someone's wondering
53:00
when is the modern era that began the start of the modern
53:04
era great question is marked by the year 1901 on.
53:10
Great question, SO. Going back 124 years, yes.
53:20
So Robbie Ray has been exceptional going back to April
53:24
26th, really on the season he's been he's been pitching very
53:26
well. But going back to that, call it
53:30
a month, we'll call it a month plus been pitching very well.
53:34
Another arm that's been looking very good.
53:37
Bang Bang. Bang, Joe Ryan, did I get you
53:51
with that last one? I saw you jump up a little bit.
53:54
No, I said bang right when you did it, so I was correct.
53:58
You were wrong. Whatever you say guy, whatever
54:01
you say. Joe Ryan going back to April
54:04
27th, not 26th like Robbie Ray. April 27th is 4 and O with an
54:14
ERA of 15-O and 44 strikeouts in six starts.
54:19
Eerily similar numbers to Robbie Ray's during that span on the
54:23
season. Joe Ryan has accumulated a WAR
54:28
thus far. AB WAR of 2.15 and two on the
54:32
year, an ERA of 257 and a WHIP of .82. 5.
54:39
With 72 strikeouts. Real good man.
54:43
Strikeout numbers looking looking very good thus far going
54:48
back to that April 27th mark when he made his seven inning
54:51
start against the Angels, the Los Angeles, CA Angels of
54:55
Anaheim, LA, Orange County, West Coast, West Coast California.
55:02
He had 11 strikeouts and then 8 strikeouts, 7 strikeouts, 9
55:07
strikeouts and then 4 strikeouts, 5 strikeouts.
55:10
But those two, those last two outings were against the
55:12
Guardians and Rays who have been playing good ball.
55:14
So little bit of a understanding there.
55:18
But Joe Ryan, congratulations on your debut.
55:21
To the critic Cannon, Robbie Ray, don't care whatever.
55:25
Actually, all these guys, all these guys making their debut,
55:29
but Robbie Ray. Look at us, whatever.
55:32
Spreading the love. Closing the book here.
55:39
Close it. Renault Blanco of the Houston
55:43
Astros set to have TJ and will be out for the remainder of the
55:51
2025 season. Tough man.
55:57
I mean, you hate to see any guy like that go down, but that's.
56:00
Innings, you know that's. No, no.
56:02
Yeah, 100 and 4000. And 50 that's.
56:04
Fair. That's fair.
56:05
Because I was going to say in terms of quality, I don't know
56:07
what you'd be getting from him the rest of the year anyway
56:09
because he wasn't off to that great of a start.
56:11
But at the end of the day, innings are important, are
56:15
valuable. Those are important.
56:17
Yeah, they're going to have to find that elsewhere, so I'm
56:18
curious to see what they use. Had him on the Fantasy squad for
56:25
a little bit. I think I shopped him around.
56:27
No one, no one wanted to bite. Now would be the time that you
56:32
try to shop him around and try to fleece somebody.
56:35
That's how you trade man. Just.
56:38
Just own it, still haven't won the league so that's fair.
56:45
That's. Fair lastly here.
56:47
AJ Smith. Shalver yo, you never like to
56:53
hear about a guy feeling a pop. You don't when today just.
56:59
One thing and one thing only. Happened today in his start
57:04
against the fighting. Feels not good bro they just.
57:13
Do they? What's going on?
57:15
Put him on the 15 day IL if I'm not mistaken, and presumably
57:20
will require a longer time than that if not the rest of the
57:22
year. Wrong with.
57:23
The what's in the water I don't. Know it's.
57:28
Injury galore. All the time.
57:34
All the time. Someone's getting hurt down
57:36
there. When was the last time their
57:38
whole roster was ready to go? I don't know the answer to your
57:45
question. It's too bad.
57:46
I too am curious. Yeah, go Phil's.
57:52
Go Phils. Go Phils.
57:57
Tough. I'm not proud of myself for
57:58
picking the Braves to win the division, but.
58:01
Did I? What can you do?
58:05
I don't remember any of my picks.
58:06
It's clear that I don't really stand firm on anything.
58:10
You picked the Phils out of the East.
58:12
You had the Phils. Honestly, Nate, I'm going to
58:14
give you some credit here. You had to.
58:16
You had to. Well, well, the AO E is.
58:20
No, no, no. I was just going to say the
58:21
National League, you had the Phils, Cubs and D backs, but
58:24
then I completely forgot that we'd had that whole saga with
58:27
you picking the D backs to win the West, which I mean.
58:31
That was hot. That was it's.
58:32
Hot and it I mean as of right now, it's not like there's still
58:36
time, but I think if we're going.
58:42
I had the Rockies and Marlins in the right spot, so.
58:47
I think if I think if you were to grade our National League
58:50
picks, you know, showing some love to the National League, we
58:52
went heavy on the AL earlier. I think if you were to grade our
58:55
National League picks, I'm probably passing with the
58:58
slightly higher score 'cause I feel like, well, just from like
59:03
appearance to sake, I'm not saying, you know, I'm not
59:05
talking like win totals at the end of it all.
59:07
But like, if you if you saw my pics of the Braves, Cubs and
59:10
Dodgers, you're going OK Yeah, not terribly spicy, but you're
59:15
going Phil's Cubs, D backs. You know, we'll revisit this as
59:19
we always do, and we'll recap and we'll bring out receipts.
59:26
So we'll see. We'll see.
59:36
And we'll see. We'll see you guys early next
59:41
week. Yeah, be on another wedding this
59:46
weekend. Good one guy.
59:48
No I'm hanging up many friends. Majority of these aren't my
59:57
friends. It's it's it's hers.
1:00:03
Shill bro. No, I'm laying low this weekend
1:00:08
as as I know for now. That may change, I don't know.
1:00:13
Good for you, you need it. That's funny though, because you
1:00:17
were calling me out for being the least travelled person out
1:00:20
there. So I don't which is a guy.
1:00:22
Am I gone every weekend or am I? Am I uncultured, untraveled.
1:00:26
What? I mean, what is it?
1:00:28
Well, I mean, it's just rinse, repeat on those places, you
1:00:31
know? I like what I like.
1:00:34
What can I say? I.
1:00:35
Don't blame you, I don't blame you.
1:00:37
My butt's getting in a pool this weekend for sure.
1:00:40
Shout out to all the pools man. Yeah, big time.
1:00:43
No disrespect to the indoor pools, but it's time for the
1:00:46
outdoor pools to really shine. I mean.
1:00:48
A massive disrespect to the indoor pools.
1:00:50
Let's be real, that's. Fair.
1:00:51
Massive disrespect to the indoor.
1:00:53
Pools What? That stinks there.
1:00:59
I mean, there's. They're there for us at our
1:01:01
lowest point when we've got seasonal depressed, well, you
1:01:03
don't get seasonal depression. But out here on the East Coast,
1:01:05
when it's. I beg to differ because snowy
1:01:09
and Gray for the 800th straight day, an inward pool actually
1:01:13
sounds nice. I.
1:01:15
Think there's like an opposite depression because it's so hot
1:01:17
that when I like, I just come home and everything's sweaty.
1:01:24
There's a level of depression there.
1:01:26
You stink every day. I smell every day.
1:01:30
I get to I get to shower all the time.
1:01:32
Have you seen that video that's been floating around where it's
1:01:34
like we're getting to that point of the year where the sun starts
1:01:36
to sound like this and it's some guy playing the harmonica.
1:01:40
You, you go out, you look up at the sky and it's just sweltering
1:01:45
at like 9:00 AM. We're we're quickly approaching
1:01:48
that point. Well, you're already there.
1:01:49
But we're we're there. That's why I'm getting in the
1:01:51
pool. Shout out to the pools.
1:01:54
Yeah. Dog out.
1:01:59
Cool. We'll see.
1:02:00
You guys have a great weekend. It's tough today, super out of
1:02:06
pocket today. I hear pots and pans.
1:02:08
She says she's picking up dinner, but that's a no Mickey
1:02:11
D's still hearing pots and pans every time.
1:02:15
Maybe. She's heating it up.
1:02:16
I don't know. Every time we.
1:02:18
Have been talking for a long time.
1:02:20
Maybe she's heating it up in the oven or something, who knows.
1:02:22
I got a. Text saying I'm picking up
1:02:23
dinner, see you soon. Pots and pans.
1:02:30
Unbelievable. I'm curious.
1:02:32
You're going to have to let me know I.
1:02:34
Will honestly I'm going to riot if it's not McDonald's so I'm
1:02:37
looking. Forward to seeing a picture of a
1:02:39
McDonald's hamburger in a lasagna tray in the in the oven
1:02:44
she. Suggested salmon burgers and I
1:02:46
was like no, absolutely not, I need something real.
1:02:52
Well, that's. McDonald's isn't the answer.
1:02:56
You bite your tongue, Sir. I.
1:02:58
Love McDonald's but you you can't say I need something real
1:03:01
and then give me McDonald's issue sure I.
1:03:04
Can I? I meant like real for my soul,
1:03:06
not real for my body. Fair.
1:03:09
We need some connected. Yeah.
1:03:12
Souls far more important. All right, we're getting super
1:03:15
meta now. Let's let's wrap this up.
1:03:17
What's that mean? I don't know, I just like using
1:03:21
fancy, fancy words, fancy phrases, whatever.
1:03:25
Dude, this was a mid podcast. This is a great this is a
1:03:29
banger. Dude.
1:03:30
Our our end of week pods are like you said, pretty, pretty
1:03:33
out of pocket, man. We're we're looking forward to
1:03:35
the weekend. So have a great weekend.
1:03:37
Enjoy Friday, which is basically the weekend.
1:03:42
If you see a curveball, don't chase it.
1:03:50
Your turn. We love you all and as always,
1:03:52
looking forward to talking more baseball with you guys soon.
1:03:54
Until next time, stay filthy.
