  Speaker 1: What's it like set the scene and is the weather.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Gonna be good? Yeah? Weather's been great. Weather's been great.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I can't complain about that. A little uh, a little
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: hot the last couple of days, but overall it's it's
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: been wonderful. Some really good games, some lopsided games, yes,
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: knock on one. We hope the weather holds up. So
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: because you know, I got the game tonight, I got
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Hawaii versus Connecticut. That's gonna be an absolute battle East
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: first West kind of battle. Two teams that are gonna
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: probably be there at the end at least battle and
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: to get to the championships. And it's been a lot
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: of fun so far, a lot a lot of fun.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Nice all right, So what's your schedule? I mean, I
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: know you just laid out what you've got tonight, but
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: what is it like? Are you doing one two games
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a day over what course? You know, course of time?
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: So for people that don't pay attention as much to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Little League World Series, but they love you on here,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: they should give it a little shot.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm doing sixteen games for this week. The
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: first first day I had two games, and now I
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: have one game all the way up until Sunday, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: then two on Monday. I'll broadcast, then back to one
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday, then two on Wednesday, two on Thursday, two
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: on Saturday, two on Sunday. So my week picks up
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: as we move forward and the games get bigger and bigger.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's enjoyable. I love this time year,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: my fifth year doing it, and pin trading has been
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: incredible too, So let's not forget about that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, let's talk about that. We're gonna do that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in slat pants. We'll give a little more information on
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: pin trading. Let's get to some big league actions. So
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Sunday you have the Little League Classic game, which we
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: talked to your boy Tim Kirkchin about the other day,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and we have players weekend happening over the next few days.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: So let's charge shame on me. I should have looked
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: at this before we launched, but I'm looking at my
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: notes krats, and I noticed they said there won't be
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: any special unis with the players' nicknames. No, that's confirmed.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: We were talking about that as if that was back
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you guys had me fooled like it was coming back.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: It's not bad, That's what I thought. I thought the
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: nicknames were back on. I thought they had to.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Who told you that? Who told you the nicknames were
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: back on?
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: You got man online one I read too many.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: No, I thought this was a before the season kind
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of thing, like I thought they announced it in spring training.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Let me let me go back in my files.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, go back in your files, because apparently this was
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: pulled from the league's site. They usually know what they're
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: talking about. We got no fancy nicknames on the back
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of the unis see in today's social media world that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: would play well, and it did play well from twenty
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: seventeen to twenty nineteen. I'm not going to harp on
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: this for a while, todd Father, But just like the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: All Star Game uniforms, and that's a more passionate topic,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: we fixed that. Can we make players weekend a nickname
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: thing on the back of the jerseys again next go round?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Can we make it better? This is just silly, man.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Why can't you just change a little bit to make
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the fans love this game even more? I mean to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: have a guy have some funny nicknames like Aaron X
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: was aa Ron. You know, there's awesome nicknames to be
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: made out there. I mean, I just don't understand it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: There's got to be some logic behind it that I'm
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: not understanding. Oh yeah, you can make personalize personalized cleats,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: all right? Or can you make your bad personalized? Yeah?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but like, I mean, that's cool through the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: whole thing.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Some guys might not even get in the bat during
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: the game, so it's like, uh, come on, finish the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: whole thing out. I think that'd be pretty cool to
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: see that. And MLB you can auction off the uniforms
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and make money, you know, and send them to another
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: charity like something. That's just so simple. I don't know
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: why they don't do it. But you know, some players
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: like to keep their cleats, if you want the truth,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they're so cool. They could hang them up in there,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you know, in their man cave or something else. Like.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Not everybody wants to give all their stuff away all
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the time. So you know, a little disappointing by MLB
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: not having the jerseys.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, I'm so disappointed in this, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I'll make it quick just because we don't need to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: keep harping on MLB.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: The B and MLB is clearly boring.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: You can wear custom cleats all season. Now ooh, so
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: they're allowing them to have a bat that they customize, Like,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: come on, like, you don't have to just get off
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: your hands. Allow the players to just do something. To me,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know about Todd, but I still have my
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: players in Jersey. I think it's something that is unique.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And they may overplay it sometimes in the sense of like, oh,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: you know, we're just going to use his nickname the
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: whole game. But to me, I thought it was fun.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And but hey, the BEE stands for boring.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I guess if it's just for a weekend, it's not
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: going to get overplayed. If you're doing it over a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: long period of time, cool, I get it, that's too much,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But over a weekend is the perfect time. And I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: will say I do love the customized bats. I do
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: think that's really cool. I went to a game I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think it was last year during players weekend. A lot
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: of the guys had like the crayon bats. It looks cool.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It looks cool in person, it looks cool in pictures.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: But let's do more right, and those play well for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the younger crowd. For us, they stand out. We just
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: want things that look different. Right, you go through a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: long season, we're in the dog days of August. Let's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: do more. I didn't know about that. Krats tell everyone
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: why they need to look into a virtual private network
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: aka a VPN.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like we're in trout. It keeps everything
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: private and secure whenever you venture out.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: That's good. That's really good.

• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to save Dodgers Padres that's its own beast. But I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: actually want to start with Texas in Toronto going at
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it this weekend. So Toronto's obviously trying to keep their
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: spot at the top of the division, and right now
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: they're in good shape, although I will say Boston's had
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a pretty nice run. I know this week was down
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for them. They're five games back. Looked at Boston's schedule,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: it's got some soft spots. So Toronto's got to keep
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: up right. Seventy one and fifty one on the year,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and they're taking on a Rangers team coming up here
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that needs to get going quickly. They're three and a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: half games out of a wildcard and they have another
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: team to leap ahead up just to get there. Here
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it is, so you've got the Mariners, the Red Sox,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and the Yankees currently holding wildcard seats in the American League.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Cleveland is just a half a game back, Texas is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: three and a half back, Kansas City's four back, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the Angels are five backs. So if the Rangers want
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to make a push, you got to get going soon. Right,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we're at about the forty game mark left to go
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in the year. It's de Grama on the mountain tonight
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: against Chris Bassett. Saturday is Patrick Corbin against Eric Lauer,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and then Native Baldi against Jose Burrios. The concern usually
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: is the same concern that we've had for two years
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: with Texas. Are they going to score enough runs in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this game? And for Toronto, I mean yeah, they're still
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: bringing vibescrats. Even yesterday they pull off a win, Big
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Laddie Homer, Max Schurzer looked really good and the Owen
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Casey at bat I thought was just perfectly played right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: The sick kid for the Cubs who makes his debut,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: he's from Canada. They give him the really respectful nice
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: ovation from the Canadian crowd, Canada nice. And then he
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: gets absolutely robbed by David Schneider, who probably made the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: best defensive play he's made in his life. I mean,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that was incredible out there in left field. Oh like nice,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: we have it. That's a beauty right.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: There, diving backwards, diving backwards to ruin the Redhead's debut.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I mean it would be his first bat double in
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the left center gap in front of in front of
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the family even and it would have been off of
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: sures Er too. You would have had an opportunity to
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: be like, oh yeah, my first big like it was
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: just a double in the gap off of future Hall
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: of Famer.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: My bad first pitch too, Todd Bother You swung at
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the first pitch of his career, and he hit it
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: pretty good. He drilled it.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's where you're like, oh, man, is just
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: how the major leagues is gonna be. That's a shame.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: You know. You want to get your first hit out
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of the way, your first swing. And I went up
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: there like I'm swinging no matter what. And he did.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: He got a good pitch to hit. And now you're like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: oh man, okay, all right, I'll be fine. The next thing,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you know, you're like, oh, for twelve or fifteen, you're like,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: this is his fault. Yeah, but no, he'll be just fine.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: It was. It was a spectacular play. Give it up
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: for the kid. Yeah.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And also, I mean, we'll move it right to the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Cubs here. They're taking on the Pirates for three games
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this weekend. Kratz. The division looks like a long shot.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: They're in a pretty comfortable position, especially with a team
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: like the Mets falling apart right now, and even the
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Mets are still in a wild card seat right ahead
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of the Reds. But for Chicago, they still have to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: all of their offense. Their offense has gone quiet, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: they've lost their last three series against the Reds of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals and the Blue Jays, Cubs, and Dodgers. Holding
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: those first two wildcard spots feels weird to say that
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: about La and then the Mets at sixty four and
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: fifty seven just to half game clear of Cincinnati, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: then there's a little more separation after that. But this
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: should be the medicine that you need. You catch a
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh team that's lost five in a row and they've
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: been stumbling around, so they haven't been in it for
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a long period of time. They can blitz you in
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a series or two, but coming off what they just
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: did against Milwaukee, it would kind of be embarrassing. I mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you look at the way that Milwaukee man handled them,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and Chicago does have some big names in their lineup.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: This is part of why they brought up Owen Casey,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: but this could be the way to get them going.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you look at the bullpen crafts
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: like it's not the same you lost Bednar, Like this
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: should be the time period where Pirates are trying guys out,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Cubs should be able to take advantage.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Okay, but you said the Cubs need to work on
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: their offense. The Cubs don't need to work on their pitching.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Their pitching is gonna be kind of what it is.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I think they're pitching is kind of a mid rotation.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: I think their bullpen has to step up. But to me,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: you talked about the offense. You don't want to go into.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: You don't want to go into Pittsburgh. I was trying
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to look up who's starting the next few days for
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: the Pirates and I'm glitching so I can't see it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: But you're gonna face some decent starting pitching. That's not
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: what you want to see when your offense is just
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: not clicking. You don't want to go into Toronto and
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: see Gosman and see Burrios and see I forget who
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: else threw against them, but oh Sureser yesterday. You don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: want to see a lower you know, you want to
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: see a team that maybe has a little bit of
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: a softer starting rotation. I was trying to see if
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the Pirates are.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I got you, I got you, Braxton Ashcraft for game one.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Thing really well, that's definitely yeah, he's throwing well, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: that that's definitely hit able stuff. I mean, that's he's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not gonna outstuff you. Right, he might out out command
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and control you, but you're not facing you know, cream
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of the crop here. He's okay, but you should be
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: able to beat him up if you're a first division offense.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Mike Burrows in start number two for the Pirates, and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I know there's a contingent of fans right now they
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: are like, I don't know who any of these guys are.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And then TBD on Sunday. Okay, we don't know who's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: starting Sunday. But also important to note that Monday starts
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a series for them against the Brewers.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: But you got to get an offense going.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: So I was wrong. That's a little bit of a softer.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I really like Ashcraft's been throwing well, and you don't
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: see a lot of command guys, command guys.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: He's just not.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Throwing ninety nine like you would see a Schemes or
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: a Keller or all those kind of guys, So I
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: was wrong.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: They're kind of dipping that. But in the.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Division, you rarely have teams that in the Division are like,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: man like, we're just gonna come out and just hammer
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: these guys for three games. In the Division, you just
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: know each other so well that they're usually close game.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: So it's tough.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Even though it is the Pirates, it's a tough series
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: to then lead up to the toughest series and probably
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: the biggest series of their season since they're gonna make
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, to test themselves against what I think is
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the best team in the NL right.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Now, there you go, and that would be the Milwaukee Brewers.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: So I'm a nerd and also sometimes i'm petty, and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I was going through some old videos just checking comments.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I try to reply it to as many things as
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I can. So I found this one on YouTube. It
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: was from July twenty fourth, so it's been a few weeks, so, yes,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: this is petty, but I just caught this one and
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: was like, oh good, and we were just talking about
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the Brewers and the Cubs. CZR Samuelson on our Jesse
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: Rodgers video said it must have hurt foul Territory regular announcers,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: particularly Scott Milwaukee Braun to hear references to the gasp
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: north side team of a city south of Milwaukee and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: west of Cincinnati. I'm so sorry that Scott had to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: adore a guest obviously renegade speaking about that pesky Wrigley
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Wriggley Bill baseball club, which I'll continue to remain nick
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: nameless in a single FT episode. Please accept my admiration
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for your forbearons during what must have been a trying time.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I laughed, that was really well written, and this coycrats
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: is trying to say that we talk more about the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Brewers overall on our show than the Chicago Cubs, a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: show that is on Marquee that has had half their
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: players on in the past year, and right now, the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Brewers are a team to talk about since they've
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: won twelve games in a row and have the best record.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm petty, but I actually thought it was
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: fun the way that he phrased it. I had to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: do one of these with my eyes, like are we
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: talking about the same person me? I was like, I
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: would think that Brewers fans would come after me, not
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Cubs fans.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I would say the only thing he left out of
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: that tremendous, eloquently written comment was you twerp.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Don't start. Don't start. That's still going in Texas. Apparently
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: it's still going right now. We don't have time for
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: that that warm garbage. Here we go, rookie Societ. He
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: made an appearance and struggled through one inning on his
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: rehab assignment. A couple of runs, three hits. Fastball was
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: ninety three ninety four. Ish crafts you saw a little.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Bit of this, yeah, I mean you have the MLB
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: MiLB dot com so you can just you just click
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: on to figure see where he's at. It's intriguing to me.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I don't really care about the velocity, but it's intriguing
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: to me that you're always gonna give up hits in
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: minor league games because dudes are like.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Rokie Susaki, big leaguer. I'm going after it. You know.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: A couple of the hits were pitches out of the
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: zone that you were like, Okay, that's fine. But at
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: ninety three ninety four, he should still be able to
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: work that fastball, should be able to stay out of
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: areas where guys can't hit it, and that late life
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: the goat, not the don't call it the ghost fork
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: whatever they call it. The knuckleball, that's a forkball. Seemed
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: like it was moving a lot, but it's always going
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: to be out of the zone. It just didn't look
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: like his rhythm was there. And minor league games, you
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: never know what's gonna happen because these dudes all see
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: the big leaguer and they're like, I'm getting this guy
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: because I can always say I got a hit against
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: the big leaguer.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Scott we always real quick. We always talking about his fastball.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I talked about it. Listen to me. It's pretty It's
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: one of the most straighter fastballs I've seen, Like it
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't have much movement. Cratzy and I talked about when
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: he first came up that fastball is gonna get hit.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: He has to develop more pitches, which he has, and
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: then the minor leagues. I think it's about feeling healthier
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: than understanding that you're getting hit. So is it a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: red flag, I would say a little bit, but understandably
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: he just wants to be healthy.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Padres Dodgers Preview powered by Arena Club Chills.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be good.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Got a weekend set. They're going to play six games
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: against each other in a ten day span, and the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Padres enter this series with a one game lead in
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: the National League West. We're gonna do a tale of
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the tape entering this series. I'm excited about it. Okay,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So we are going to start with the starting rotation.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Then we'll hit the bullpen situation, and then we'll go
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: around the diamond. Okay, you guys.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Prepared, You ready, as ready as I can be.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're starting with the starting pitching. Which team right
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: now has the edge with their starting rotation and everything
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: is fresh and current. So Michael King hitting the IL
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: and it could be something small, but we don't know.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Definitely affects things. It looks like Kratz has that included
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in his answer. Go ahead, a kay Dodgers.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I mean I wouldn't have said that this was the case.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Like any team matching up against the Dodgers starting pitching
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: right now, they got a bunch of guys coming off
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: off of the IL, but.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: They're throwing.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, you have Glass, now, you have Kershaw, who will
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: always throw good. I would never bet against Kershaw. And
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: then you got Yamamoto, who's stayed healthy and gotten all
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: his starts in and I'm forgetting Blake Snell's back so easily.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Dodgers right now, easily, hands down.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I get that, But you look at the RA two
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: two point five five for the Padres compared to four
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: point one seven. You have to take a second look
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: at those Padres. But I would still stick with the Dodgers.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Of course, the Michael King man. I gotta see Michael
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: King pitch man. I love him to death, so that
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: that I would stick with that too.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna do this one next because it should
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: be quick.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Ready.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Bullpen. I don't think you need to explain much right now.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: State of bullpen? Right now, Tod Father, which team has
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the edge?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Well, Padres for sure. I mean iz leads the league
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: in saves, real simple that they've had the best bullpen
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: for a long time. The Padres had some really good
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: key guys.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, Suarez is just really he's he'll be a
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Dodger next year and that'll kill Padres fans. But hey,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: you know what, Padres the whole way just saying he's
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: gonna be the best, best available closer on the market
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: because Devin Williams he just got into second place.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: It will be a good pickup too. But Robert Suarez.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm not just talking closer too. I mean
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: they have five closers.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: No, the whole bullpen, one one guy is better than
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: the rest of the Dodgers' bullpen right now. Like I
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: think Vessie has thrown the best for the Dodgers out
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: of the pen. I'm trying to think of who else
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: they're trying to piece it together. The Padres. They're piecing
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: together five innings every night, and the next night only
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: two of those guys pitch again, they have another five guys.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: They've shortened the game by so much. Padres bullpen might
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: be one of the best to see how they do
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the rest of the year. Might be one of the
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: best bullpens constructed partway through a season, because they already
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: were legit before the trade deadline, and then they just
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: added everybody.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they did a little bit of this last
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: year and it's still paying off to you know, the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: addition like Jason Adam this year. Of course, they really
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: went into hyper speed with the Mason Miller pickup, So
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we know who has the edge in that race, especially
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: right now, it's not even close in my mind. All right,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: let's let's work it around the diamond. First base Kratz,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Ryan O'Hearn and Freddie Freeman is where we're matching this up.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Although where are we putting a rise if we're doing this?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Famer, it doesn't matter for first base,
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: whoever you want, Yeah, it doesn't matter, Freddy free that's it,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: just just turnovers baseball car. We're showing one of his
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: sick cards with the autograph on and I think it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: a game patch. Yeah, it's a patch design auto patch,
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: like it's a sick card, but turnovers baseball card with
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: the stats on the back.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I don't.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's a better first basement in the
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: game right now.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Done, don't need to harp on that, Freddy Freeman. Of course,
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: boom there you go. Okay, yeah, Then whoever is playing
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: first for the Padres second base though, Jake Croninworth on
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: the San Diego side?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Are we going? Who are we putting a second base
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: on the Dodgers side?
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Right now?
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Freelance Freeland's playing the most and I think they're throwing
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: and I think they're throwing three righties. So Freeland is
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: gonna get the most most of the burn because they
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: don't have a lot of lefties. Padres don't have a
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: lot of lefties, but it's the Crone zone. You can
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: hit it anywhere, but you can't hit it in the
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: crone zone.
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: He's not having as great a year as he was having,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: but he gives you professional at bats. He's really kind
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: of solidified that position for them for really being a
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: guy that bounces around a lot, and he's kind of
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I think he's having more success the more he's playing
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: second base.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: So Padres cron zone, okay.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And obviously we're gonna add me Guel Rojas two. But
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Freelanden Rojas versus Crome Zone Todd Father easy, agreed, agreed, Okay?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Next up, shortstop Xander Bogarts versus Mookie Bets. This one's interesting, Kratz.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: I see this smile because Mookie Betts is having the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: worst offensive season of his career and Xander Bogarts has
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: actually been lighting it up since he made some changes
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: after the first what month and a half or so
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: or two months really, I think it was mid to
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: late June where he made the tweaks and then took off.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I mean right now, because we're going right now, Mookie
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Bets might be a Hall of Famer. Xander Bogartz is
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: playing better than him. He's playing better, in my opinion,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: he's playing better defensively. I think the numbers are very close.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: But this is the one miscast that I think the Dodgers,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: one of the miscasts I think the Dodgers have. I
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: think their team is better with Rojas. So we just
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: talked about second base playing short on the majority of
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: the time, not every game, but majority.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: And Mookie and right field.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: So because we're going shortstop to shortstop right now, I'm
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: taking Xander boguards.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Agreed, Agreed.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Mookie needs to be in the outfield for one. Maybe
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: that's part of what's going on here another position. But
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: right now, Xander Bogarts is playing better.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm being told we have to speed it up,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: so pitch clock's hitting us hard top either Manny Machado
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: versus Max Monty.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Manny Machada one of the best third basemen ever.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: Do it?
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Max Max is the He's not better than Manny Machado.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: I think Many Machadda is a better player, Max means
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: so much to this lineup. He can't be discounted. His
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: numbers don't compare to Manny's, but when he wasn't in
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: the lineup, the team struggled. He adds a layer to
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: that lineup that is so huge for the Dodgers.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. And this is the part of the video
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: where the comments will explode when we put this up
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: later on, because you have people that will stand very
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: tall for Machado. I'm on the Machada side, not that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I'm playing, but.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Catchers will smith hands down. Sorry, sorry for me.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Is easy. Yeah, okay, outfields. So we're looking at Loriano
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and sheets and lefts, I mean, are recounting Confordo here,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Who's who's been really one of the worst bats in baseball?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Can I go through my three here? Three?
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go through the three.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Loriano. I'm gonna go Jackson Merrill and
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: then Fernando Tattoos and rightfield.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, and do you like that better than what the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Dodgers are thrown out there right now?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I like pies. I have to, I have to like
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: pa Haes. I can't go on what Jackson Merril did
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: last year. Because we're talking about today, I think I'll
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: take Meryl for his career for everything going forward. Right now,
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I think pi Haes is doing better, but I I
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: completely agree with the other ones.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, I'll throw Alex call in there too, whatever,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll take Tatis Merrill and what they patched
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: up here with Loriano at the trade deadline. Again, I'm
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: not playing, so I don't know why I'm participating. We'll
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: finish with DH Louis Uh.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: If we're putting a Rise at DH and we're putting
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: O'Hearn at first, we've got Louisa Rise against.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Tommy. I love.
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: Scott loves Luisa Raz puts together such a good at bat.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: He might be better than show.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Him stop it?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: What voice is that? Is that a Harry Carry voice?
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Scott Braun?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Scott Braun saying, I love if we could mix Elie
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: de la Cruz and Luisa Rise, who would be the
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: greatest player I've ever seen in my life?
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: That would be a good should play that game one time.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: It's Sho Shoo Tani versus everybody. Sho is the best
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: player in the game right now. Sorry, he's pitching that's it.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: He's everything. Plus he's the best Dach in the game. Sorry,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: Kyle Schwarmer.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so let's do this at the finish line here,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: which team do you like better.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: In the series or in the year both.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers take two or three today, and
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers, I mean this this weekend. And
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: I think when they come back to San Diego, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: think the Dodgers get swept.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm thinking. I'm thinking Padres come out on also,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: and I think they take two out of three. And
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: then the Dodgers finished stronger than the Poders.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go, Arena Club sponsoring this little preview
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: of the series tale the tape Padres and Dodgers. And
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I opened up a slab pack this morning, and I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: actually got Krats a Brooklyn Dodger. So I opened up
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: a common pack this morning. Yeah, I got myself a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: little Brooklyn Dodger Jim Gilliam nineteen fifty six.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Tops.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: The Dodgers aren't playing well right now. I took the offer.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: The offer was worth more than the pack. I get
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to pick another pack later.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's a win.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Arena Club dot Com SA values code fil foul for

• 28:21
  Speaker 1: dot com slash foul. You know, it's funny, we're doing
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: this right, and I'm looking at the Dodgers lineup in
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the state of where it's at right now, and obviously
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: it's still full of star power at the top, but
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: you know it's not you're looking at second base. You're like,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you're looking at certain outfield spots like and then the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Padres had that right for most of the season, Krats
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: with the bottom third of their lineup. There was a
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: point where people really down on this team. Not me,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: but the bottom third of the lineup was struggling, and
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: they really patched that up just now. I mean, that's
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: probably probably the underrated component of what they did at
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the deadline because Mason Miller steals the show.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Right, I mean, anytime you pick up a Mason, anytime
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: you pick up a closer that throws one hundred and four, like, yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: obviously that's gonna steal the show. But I think when
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: you add when you look at teams that have had
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: success into the postseason, winning World Series from some of
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: their contributors at the trade deadline, rarely is it that
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: monster pick up those guys. It's like, well, he's just
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: doing what he's supposed to do. You think about the
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Braves and they pick up Rosario. I think they picked
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: up Rosario, Eddie Rosario, Adam Duvall, Jorge Solaire won the
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: MVP of the World Series. Ramon Larriano and O'Hearn are
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: going to be guys that are gonna get sporadic at bats.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: But five games in a week of seven games, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: that's where you pick up on the margins when you're
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: already a really good team. That's I mean, that's why
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: they get an A plus at the trade deadline. You
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: can't do more than what more, You can't do better
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: than what the Padres did.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Mm hm.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: And by the way, I know we mentioned this for
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a moment, but the news for Michael King is that

  Speaker 1: he was going to start, of course this weekend and
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: he hits the shelf knee issue. So he just came
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: back from the long absence with the shoulder. This is

  Speaker 1: knee inflammation. We'll find out more details soon, hopefully. Randy

• 30:33
  Speaker 1: it's knocking out stuff you but he gets it done.

• 30:39
  Speaker 1: in the league. He gets it done though, he gets

  Speaker 1: that week contact.

  Speaker 1: conversations today, So we're going to be super speedy here
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: to get ourselves back on track. Rocobaldelli tossed krats all
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: timer here from Baldelli too, and the mic picked up
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: some things, including no bleeping way you bleeped it up man.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: He said the magic word you. We also said another
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: magic word.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: He did curse.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: He did curse before that, but when he said you
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: messed it up, didn't use a word messed. That's when
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: he was just I mean, he wasn't even prepared to
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: throw them. He went and threw him the other way,
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Like I thought Bacon was going to give him one
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: of these, but he turned into what what?
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: No?
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: And I think Rocco actually might have gotten it wrong.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: But we have the view of slow motions, so.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Also just tempers flaring in general. The organization
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: has been rocked lately, Todd Father, and I do think
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: some of that's permeating right now for someone like Roco
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Baldelli who's like, give me a chance here, guys. You
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: just sold away halfway team and you're not even selling
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: the team.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I whether you got a right wrong. And umpire
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: is supposed to look at strikes and balls, and I
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: still don't understand on check swings, mostly ninety of check
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: swings should be checked, and that right there has to
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: be checked by somebody down the line, which has no
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: clue whether they caught it or not. As a home
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: plate on fire, you can't see whether he catches the
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: ball or if he's not. So Bacon was at fault there.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I would have been upset too as well.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Let's slap two topics two minutes each. I want to
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: start with this week from our buddy Evan Grant, who's
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: one of the league leaders and ft appearances covers the Rangers,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: so there was a fan comment he said, wish the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Rangers had the balls to do what the Nationals did.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I guess with Lowe who they're talking about got DFA
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the other day they said Alec Garcia should be the
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: top of the list to be shown the door. And
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: this is just one of many that I've seen where
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: fans are absolutely tearing a Dolice Garcia apart. I get
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been nearly the same player for the last
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: couple of years, but wait, can we throw that up
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: one more time on the show? Evan Grant's reply here
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: a Doolics Garcia has not performed. He may have played
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: his last game for the Rangers. This is what Evan
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Grant said. But there's a mean spirited, punitive tone to
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: so many tweets about a guy who did so much
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: for this team. That's the part I don't get. I
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: agree Kratz, if you think it's problem, you don't want
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: him on the current ball club, okay, but the attacks
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: get really harsh. He won you a World Series two
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: years ago. That's why most fans root for things, right,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: especially the fans are talking about this like that are
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: rooting for their team to win games. I get it,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: you don't want him on the current team. He's on
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: the IL right now, but show the guy a little
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: bit of love and respect.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: This is not a designated for assignment player.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Plus, what he's done, what he's done only goes a
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: certain only goes a certain distance. Like you can win
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: a World Series for a team and then like your
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: play dictates you not being on the team anymore. This
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: isn't one of those guys. This isn't one of those guys.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Especially the guy. If you saw him before he went
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: on theo IL, he was laboring to be out there.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: He wanted to be out there not That was very
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: evident in my opinion watching him play hasn't gone as
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: well as it had on the field. This is still
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: a two war player here for your team who was
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: really close to making a run at the playoffs. They
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: could still climb back in it, but they slid a
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: little bit recently.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: And he is an elite defender. Yes, let's not forget
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: elite defender. I get it. The bat is not the same,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: but October would not be the same for the Rangers
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three without Adolis Garcia guys. Last, but
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: not least, for the second year in a row, Logan
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: o'hapi has a special chest protector this weekend that's designed
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: by patients from Miller Children's and Women's Hospital in Long Beach.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: There are super cool drawings on there. We talked about
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: it with him last year. We just want to shout
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: out how it's a super cool, unique idea for a
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: catchering Logan Ohoppi, who is one of the good guys
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: in the sport, So look out for that this weekend.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: That's the good stuff with players. I know we make
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: fun of it at the top. We want it to
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: be a little spicier, but I like that part of it,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: and I hope we can do things like that throughout
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Because it's about the players and the fans connecting with
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: the players, and I think this weekend does that. This
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: is no better example of something that's so awesome.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: Agreed. Yeah, you skirt the rules a little on a
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: weekend like this, let the designs look how they want
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: to look. But if you can put the designs to
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: an incredible cause and just a really cool piece of art,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: basically on the chess protector, that's the good stuff. So anyway,
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Todd father, have fun. Man, we'll be watching and listening.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: I didn't get my picture of the Rockingham County Baseball League.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: And boo, here's how you can knock a bomb of
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: a bonus bed into your account. Like Kratz was talking about,
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: place your first home run bet of the day. Parlays
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: are included here. Minimum ten dollars on the bet on
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: a player or players. If they have a long storm
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: end of the day, you win your share of fifty
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars eat bonus bets. No opten necessary just to
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: apply that big Fly Friday qualifying token that's dropped into
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: your count using the first player or players that you
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: take to hit a home run. It happens every Friday.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: That's why if you're going with home run, perhaps there's
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: only one spot. It's our boys and girls over at
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: at MGM gambling problem. We're concerned. Call one a hundred gambler.
