• 0:42
  Speaker 2: almost every team's gonna do.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: What do you want, Scott? Let's all cater to seat Scott?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: What a Scott?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: I just want a few more trades than not. They're

  Speaker 1: gonna come twenty on Thursday.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Problem is a piece that they can sell. Whoever that
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: piece is Suarez. Luckily he's okay. But you say you're
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: holding genos wars and there's seven teams out there that
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: won them. Well, every time, every minute you wait, the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: other team gets a little more anxious and goes, oh,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I'll throw this guy, I'll throw in that guy or
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: this and that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: That's fine, But how about a team like the Orioles
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: or a team like the Nationals.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Teams that are not involved, they need to phrase.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: They need someone to buy the guy, and even if
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: they've got a more secondary piece that other teams are
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: going for the primary piece and then when they don't
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: get him, they go to the secondary piece.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Did you not listen to the show yesterday?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: What happened on the show?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, Jim Bowden explained all that He's like all the
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: teams all one a and if they don't get it,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: then they all pivot to be and then they pivot
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: to see you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Need well, I know what I'm doing after the show
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: today yesterday. Yeah, seriously, listed, I know how it works.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I just would have liked some activity today. Yeah.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: But if you're a fan, Scott, if you're a fan
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: of your team, you don't want your team to trade
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: for somebody right now. As much as yesterday AJ said,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: oh you know they could get two extra games out
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: of this guy, Yes, but if you're trading for a
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: B player and you have to give up an A prospect,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: you don't want your team to do that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, if the White Ocs are going, we'll
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: pick up Luise Roberts option, just despite all of you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: If you don't give us what we want, you shouldn't
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: give in.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's just Sam paying for paying for a prospect.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: They're buying a prospect to get rid of Luis Robert.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: But here's the thing. Is he worth twenty million dollars
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the way he's played the last couple of years.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: No, not with his current status and absolutely not. That's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not a twenty million dollar player. But everybody thinks that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: he's going to go elsewhere and thrive. But until he
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: does that, he's not a twenty million dollar player.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: So they're going to pick up the option for what reason, to.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Spite the league because they don't feel like they're getting
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: an a level prospect offer a top.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Ten You think picking up his twenty million dollar option
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: right now was gonna make him play better? No, he's like, yes, yes,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: another year.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Keeping him I think might lead to him calling it
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: pretty soon for the season and saying, hey, I'm all
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: banged up.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna wait.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's any way. I don't think there's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: any way that Luis Robert Junior is on the White
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Sox in twenty six US unless something crazy happens that
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: we don't know about. But I can't see them picking
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: up his option. If they do pick up his option,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: not trading him in the office.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: But then they're gonna have to eat some money because
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: he doesn't get twenty mil in free agency right now.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He doesn't not with his current play. I like the player.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to be good.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Else spend two years now, yeah, of so far, and
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: before that he was great, but he couldn't stay on
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Well, he had one year where he was unbelievable. Yes
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: was that twenty three, two years ago, yep, twenty three,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: But even before that he wasn't. He was all potential, potential, potential,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: potential injury, injury, injury, injury, potential injury. Sounds like a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: couple other guys the White Socks had.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Some of them aren't playing anymore in the majors, a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: bunch of them.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I don't know.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I'm just I don't know. It's an interesting That's why
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: people are like, oh, let's go get Luise Robert. Okay,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you're gonna pick up his twenty million dollar option. Now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: if he goes to contender and he goes off, here's
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: your option picked up. Right. Let's say he goes to
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Philly and he goes and goes crazy and they win
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: a World Series, they might go check. We'll pick that
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: twenty MILLI.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: But until then he's on the White Sox and it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: not working in its current form. So all that and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: much more, we'll talk to Ken in about ten minutes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: But let's charge the mound and cover a trade.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Charge It about.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: All right, Eric Kratz, your former ball club, the Milwaukee
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Brewers dfad Eric Coss and picked up Danny Jansen from
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the Rays. And they give up a prospect, and you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: want to pronounce that one for me?
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Jodder are an Arianamo?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: In the trade infield prospect and then the Rays actually
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: backfill by getting Nick Fortes from the Marlins for outfield
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: prospect Matthew Etzel.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: So let's start at the top, Kratz.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Brewers fans get Danny Jansen, nice little defensive upgrade, a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: little bit of pop. He's got eleven homers this season.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Are you satisfied?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: I mean satisfied with what the like the upgrade over
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: has I like. I always like Eric Haas as a person.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: I love his story, all that stuff you need. You
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: need to definitely have somebody behind the dish that's going
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: to play once twice a month now, Like there's no
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: way William Contrare's isn't behind the dish.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: If this team is.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Going to be winning now, maybe they feel like they
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: need more of a veteran presence. I was. I was
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: confused by it, honestly, just because I didn't think that
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: was an area that they needed to upgrade. Seems like
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: a small move, but it adds a little bit more
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: right handed thump, not a lot. But I feel like
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Eric huss brings right handed thump too, So I was
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: confused by it. But it's kind of just a little
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: blip on the radar. It's cool for Dan Jansen, he
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: gets to go home prats.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: At some point, we're gonna laugh about how healthcare was
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: so reactive and not proactive, and we're starting to change
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that with superpower. They believe every human has one hundred
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: plus year potential and they're here to help you get there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in this. I just started the journey,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: so I'm excited about it, and what do you think?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: As a player, You're always looking ways to improve yourself,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: improve your health, and this is an easy, easy way.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Superpowers made it way easier than when I was playing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: You had to go get all these lab panels and
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: it was a long drawn out, expensive process. But now
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: with Superpower, so this is awesome for me. I'm excited
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: about it.
• 6:59

• 7:02

  Speaker 1: support FT and tell them we sent you. Danny Jansen
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: and William Contres have almost an identical Baseball reference war
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: almost an identical ops. Plus, William has not been news
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: as good as he was last year. Danny Jansen is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not a great framer.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Sign for next year's too?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Next year also, No, I think it's just a one year,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: a one year deal.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He signed year deal with.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I'll double check, but I think it's one one year,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: give me a second. I'll sure now one year, eight
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and a half million dollar deal for twenty twenty five,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: had multiple your offers, but wanted to bet on himself
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: coming off a down season.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So no, it's one.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't don't, I don't know. I mean, if
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you're Danny Jensen, he was playing a lot in Tampa.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: He's going to go to Milwaukee and not play a lot?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Is that why he was sitting in the dugout for
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: a while. He's like, I want to play waiting.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Especially as your free agent year, you want to play there.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He is still in the race.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: At least he didn't do what Randy rose Arena did
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: last year, go sit in the stands while he could
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: have been in Seattle.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Mariners fans are pretty happy with him though. Yeah, the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Rays replaced him with Christopher Morrell.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: How'd that go?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Randy's having a banger year, banger year. I think he's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: got one more year after this. But anyway, for Jansen Crats,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: he might get more playing time than you think. I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: think you're looking at potentially two starts a week or
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: more and the Brewers making sure that contres doesn't wear
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: down as they now look like a playoff team. Jansen
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is a quality A B gives you some pop. He
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: ranks well in some defensive categories and poorly and some other.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: There's not good on the framing side, not good at
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: catching runners, really good defensively, blocking baseballs, calling games, stuff
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: like that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Always has a good rep there.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Block blocks above average ninety fifth percentile. That's important, especially
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in big games.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: A lot of raise pitchers the rais Yeah, I mean
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I can explain that because, and I'll say this based
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: on the analytics of playing for the Rays. They want
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: everybody is set up right down the middle, and they
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: want their pitchers to throw the ball top of the
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: zone and middle down. They're not going east to west
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: off the plate down. So blocking it's subjective. It's not
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: subjective because it's a number.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It is very.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: You could put the same guy in there and be
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: ninety fifth percentile. To me, the Rays, I mean, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Brewers do value receiving, and historically the last seven years
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: ish they've brought guys in that have increased their receiving.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: So maybe they see a value that they could help
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: increase his receiving. Again, though, do you really think that
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: if your team is going to make a deep run
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: into playoffs, which I think this is what the Brewers
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: are trying to build their team to do from here
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: on out. Like it's not with William Contreres behind a dish,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: like you think they're gonna go to a not a platoon,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: but like a little bit less William and a little
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: bit more Danny Jansen. I have a hard time believing that.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: You have to almost believe if you're the Brewers, our
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: offense potential is in William Contrere's playing behind a dish,
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: or maybe they don't feel like everything else in the
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: market is priced in their range, so they're looking to
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: maybe put William at DH a little bit more and
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: have somebody like Danny Jansen that they can play closer
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: to a split role behind the dish. But Contreras, I
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: think has to be a guy till until Reese Hoskins
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: gets healthy, that has to be a stalwart in that lineup,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: even though he's struggling.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you just want to make sure that he's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: good to go for October. That's been a problem in
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the league especially lately, is keeping the guys fresh and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: keeping their bats in a good spot.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Catchers not wearing down.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Will Conturis wants to play every day.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I know he does. He's still gonna play it first days.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: He's gonna play four out of five days, I don't know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: instead of five out of six. Play instead of eighty
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: five percent, play seventy five percent of the time. Down
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the stretch, Go get it tyan mile high. And the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: chat said, Contraras has broken finger. Maybe he can finally
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: go to the il. That story came out in May.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I believe when he was playing through a fractured left finger.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's partially why his numbers are down this year.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I mean he was, but I know he does. I'm
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: doing Burgers games. He does. He's put a lot of
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: pressure on himself. Well he has, because he wants to
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: perform and his power is on way down. He's like
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: he's lost his power. Maybe it's a finger, but he
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: had lost his power before that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, well this will help.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It's good to have a guy that you know can
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: start a playoff game for you behind the plate.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: He has experienced career.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: He's got a really nice career, by the way, real quick,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: the mizz forty pitch three run first and then after
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the game he's like, yeah, I knew they couldn't get me.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: He said it in like the nice kid kind of way.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: He also went in, I know he went three innings, dude,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Like I love him, but like you got to go five, dude.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Brewers offense put up eight, eight to four win over
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the Cubs. Andrew vaugh Homer.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: He's change the scenery guy. He's good, change the scenery guy.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: He got he got away from the White Sox and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: he has been one hell of a player for the Brewers.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Some left and never came back, and then some look
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like Andrew Bond right now.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe just everybody leaves the White Socks and they get better. No, no,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: not everybody.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Playing Major League Baseball this year?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Is he No, he's in Triple A and he struggling.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: He was struggling.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: So there you go.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Who was.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're back for the TV crowd in two minutes
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: while we've got a moment. This from Alden Gonzalez yesterday
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: after Giants lost to the Pirates. Pirates have one, six
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and seven. By the way, they're just having fun playing spoiler.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: The Giants are thirteen and twenty two since June fifteenth,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: worst record in baseball one hundred and thirty two runs
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: during that time period, tied, but the Pirates were fewest
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in the sport. Devers has gotten going lately, but as
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: yet to matter, their entire offense is down bad.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: So they are not.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Who we thought they were before the trade. It's not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: like Devers is killing the team.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: No, Devers is not killing the team. But he gets
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: so he's going to get a lot of hate, love,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to say, because of what he was
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: traded for from. Yes, so it's not like Jordan Hicks
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: for the Red Sox.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: No.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Neither did Carson wizen Hunt, who was a big prospect
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: called up for them.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Super shaky. First couple of innings, didn't change. It was flat.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: How'd your major league gave you go? I never play exactly?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Did terrible?
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: No knocks? Oh well, I came in the middle of
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: the game. First, I threw it over the water in
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: center field of Anaheim first third. Literally I think it
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: hit the water on the rocks out there in center field.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Incredible.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Nobody, nobody can ever tell you the first throw that
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: you make on a big league field when it matters.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Isn't the most nerve wracking throw possible, And it wasn't
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: like you're talking about like a throw in between innings, right,
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, of course, yeah. I'm telling you, like,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: it looks like there is there is a mile behind
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: the second basement. You're like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: screw this up.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Hot corner, lets hissle a.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Hen Cirez hit by a pitch for the second time
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks. He was hitting the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: All Star Game and was okay, it hits the left
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: index finger, gets X rays. It's okay. He's going to
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: get more testing today. This is the prize of the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: trade deadline position player wise, because if he's healthy, he's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: getting traded. We talked about Quan earlier. He's not necessarily
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: getting dealt. X rays negative, So that's good. Ninety six
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball to the finger not great.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Everyone was like, oh.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yesterday and just even for him, good dude, having a
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: great season just sucks.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Crappy timing.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, thank goodness. X rays are negative. If
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: he plays today, that's a good sign. And guess what.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Enjoy your last couple of games in Arizona. Is if
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: he plays, he's not going He's not going to be there.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Good dude, hits Homer's great time to do it. If
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: he goes back to would he want to go back
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: to Seattle? And he didn't have a choice, but would
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: he want to go back there?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Because it's a touch subject.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: That's why when Ken said that, I was kind of
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: surprised by the answer because he was already there.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Touchy subject.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: So I brought this up on Friday and it was
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: probably a top five fan attack moment in my ft career.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Mariners fans lost their minds. You got we didn't even
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: talk about this. I talked about this on Hot Sheet
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the Baseball America Show yesterday. How dare you? He loved
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: his time there, The Mariners love him. Okay, we'll see,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: maybe he does get trained there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Did they, I don't know they answered
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: that question.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: They very publicly stated how much they hated their strikeout
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: heavy offense. Yes it was him and Tao. They did
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: call him out. But Mariners fans, there's some smart ones
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: that fit back for me. But they're saying like I'm
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: hating on them, which is funny because you always say
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I love them too much.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: But I'm hating on them? How dare I?
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I'm literally just alluding to public comments. They're like Gino
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: said he loved it there. Okay, that's fine, I'll give
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you that, because they said I didn't. I was meant
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: how he said other teams that he was loving. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: there was a time he was asked about the Mariners, like, oh,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: every team he's getting asked by, Yeah, they're great, They're great.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: He loves every team. Right now he's about to be
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: a free agent, so of course, but I mean he
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: loves every I love What if Lodd Guerrero say I'd
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: go to the Yankees now miraculously because I'm going to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: be a free agent.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but let me on a little secret.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: When they sell you for parts, I mean the prize
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: returned with Sebbi Zabala. Who's you know, a third string catcher.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: But they just dumped the money and they were like,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: not for us anymore. And then he had two bangor seasons.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Don't glaze.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: My question is they want him backcrats, but are they
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: going to They clearly are interested in him. Are they
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: going to pay the top price or somebody else valuing him?
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: More.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I think there are other teams valuing him more. That's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: all I was saying.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Listen, we're breaking down something that GM said, a president
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: of Baseball Operation said after they traded somebody. So maybe
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: we're taking it too far out of context. But when
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: you say, yeah, but you know, we only got rid
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: of one real main piece of our team and we
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: struck out too much, it's either calling out the guys
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: that are there and saying you're not supposed to strike
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: out anymore, or you're revamping the team to not strike
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: out as much. And then they went and got I
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: think Jorge Palanco, who had a career year of strikeouts.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: So I don't know. I think there's a little bit
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: of a fractured ness there, and it's not from fans,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: it's not from all of that stuff. Like I would say,
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: they are not going to be the highest bidder, I
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: would disagree with Ken.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I do too. That was my point on Friday.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I think there are other teams that will bid higher
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and consider him in higher regard because the Mariners are
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: sensitive about strikeouts.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: They want contact and that's.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Been working for them. I'm like, why are you mad
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: at me for this? The team's playing well, they're in
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: a playoff position. I love their rotation. I love them
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: too much. The last few years their offense has come together. Obviously,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Cal's having the season of any catcher's life. Randy or
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Rose Arena has been awesome this year, and I loved
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the Nailor pick up.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Could you know, help them, no doubt.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I just don't think they value him as high as
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: some other teams do. They have the prospect capital, they
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: have a top.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Three farm systems, they can easily do it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: But the Cubs can Seattle. Then where does he go?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: I think he's going to like everys Houston right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Houston doesn't fit for me though, because they have Christian
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Walker for two more years. Yeah, East suck parades. Who's
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: he made the All Star?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's really hurt, like he might not come
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: back this year. We don't know yet. He's got like.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: That makes a lot of sense.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Houston makes sense, Detroit makes sense. The Cubs make sense.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: There's sense until the win McMahon.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: They're out. But there are a lot of teams that
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: make sense for him.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: So where does the end up? I asked Ken, Where
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: does the end up for me?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Detroit?
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, crap.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say one dark horse team Phillies, but i'
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: musa say the Astros. I think he makes it. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: think I think they know that the window for you
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: know this, some of these contracts is in the last
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: year for the Astros. I think I think they want
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: to push in. I think they have to see an opportunity.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: And Gino in any park is a diinger.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we didn't even know and mentioned the Cubs.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I said Cubs, I said Tigers, Astros. Cubs sound intro.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think they want to hurt Matt Shaw's development.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: No, I think I think they don't. They'll be in
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: the same boat as the Mariners. I think they would
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: love it. I just don't think that they would bid
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: as high. I mean kind of like we're talking about
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: the off season with Alex Bregman, Alex not going to
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: the Cubs krats.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: If I'm new to card collecting and I'm looking for
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the safest, most trusted way in the game to acquire
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: cards or to buy a card, but not go through
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: a ton of work where I'm going to the shows,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I'm going online doing auctions.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I want it all in one place. I'm going to
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Arena Club.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: It's all in one place. You know you're getting a
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: good price, whether you're buying it or you're selling cards.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: If you're new to it, you don't want all other
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: crappy cards. You can get the ones that you want.
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: You can start your collection and if you get them
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: on Arina Club, your collection will look a balse.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: That's right, and may I mention they also have Pokemon
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: cards and those slab packs that we talk about every week.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: You can rip a pack for as low as twenty
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: five dollars and hit on a card that's worth tens
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars because every pack has grails that
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: are at least twenty x the price of the pack.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: So get involved at arenaclub dot com. Slash foul use
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the code foul to get twenty percent off your first
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: slab pack or card purchase.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: What about your old team, the Brewers, he would look great,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Hey, that's the one that that's the one,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: one that.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Is the one.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just a way less yes, I'm a little less
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: confident that they're going to be the highest bidder.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: But that's the one.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: Because it's a one year deal, it's a rental power.
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Yep, that's the one that makes and that makes that team,
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: that makes that team, Like Ken said, and he even
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: wrote in an article I think it was last week,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: he was like, why should the Brewers ever do anything?
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: They've always They've always been the team that's just you know,
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: oh thumbed our nose at the system, and you know
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: everybody thinks we're bad, and then we're in the playoffs again,
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: and then we won the division again. But I would
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: buck against that. I would say, this is the time
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: you have not made it past Game seven of the NLCS.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Like Brwice fans don't want the playoffs. Bruce fans want
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: a World Series. They don't have one. They want one.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: They want a World Series victory. I think Gino would
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: make the biggest impact on that team more than any
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: other team.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: I totally agree. I totally agree.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing any other team make
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a stronger case than the Brewers for impacting that lineup.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: You're bringing a fifty homer bat into that lineup. And
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: we went over this a lot last week. You will
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: find playing time for Caleb Durban and Joey Ortiz, and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Ortiz doesn't care about that a lot about that fans
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: care a lot about. That's a great player, but play
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: every way.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: But you can play every.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Let's not forget Joey Ortiz doesn't hit.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: That's why for me, I'm like, but he hasn't.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Hit, okay, but he's there catch the ball, Dave. You
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: can get Genos Warz to make up for offense for
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: not only Durban but also Joey Orties Like. That's a good.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Trid and the Brewers have consistently been good, but not
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: in October. Yes, you need a bat that can change
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a game with one swing, like Peter Alnto did against
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: them last year.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: They've got some of those bats, but you need more
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: of those bats.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: I'll probably bring it up again even this trade deadline.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Would Brewers fans have rather had Jacob deGrom for the
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: last two months or Brandon Woodriff and Corbyn Burns for
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: the last seven years? Just it's a question you have
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: to ask yourself. Would you hit the Grom in twenty
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: eighteen have pushed us to the World Series?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Most years a team makes a move that wins the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: World Series. It's rare that you see a team in
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: the past decade do nothing or do something light. Sometimes
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: it's an under the radar player that ends up being.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: The did nothing.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: But that's a while ago at this point. Jeff Blum,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: he did some pretty good, pretty big.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: He got one swing in the World Series.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Pretty bad here, Marco Scuotero, I get it. But then
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: there's also Justin Verlander, Jordan Montgomery. There's big names that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: have made him in the World Series. Last year, series
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: last year, I'm ed Rosario.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: The Dodgers, they what they do with the trade deadline
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: last year? Exactly? You can't even remember.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Who did the Dodgers get last year?
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: He got cod they got.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they got Cope, Tommy Edmund, Tommy Edmund.
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: Like I said, I met Eddie Rosario. Nobody saw Eddie Rosario,
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: the yeah guy? Who else did the Braves get Adam.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: Solaire?
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Four guys like that?
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Those are the move the moves matter. Jeff Blum only
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: move in two thousand and five. I love that example,
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: a Jay, I love that example. Go kids, if you
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: weren't born in oh five, go look up what Jeff Blum.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Did with his one swing in the World Series in Flarity.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: We forgot Flarity, Dodgers got Flerty last year and flarity.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they did a ton and they need it all.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Remember Scott, you didn't remember.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: But I'm not supposed to remember. I don't get paid
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: to remember.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I don't get paid to remember you did.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: My boss doesn't get it.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I don't get paid for anything. Yeah, okay, I just
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: show up for fun.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, you shouldn't have got paid for the hat you
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: wore yesterday, the way you wore it. I love the
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: happen the way you wore. Don't ever do that again.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: What you don't like that? Like hair, hair this thing?
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: So if you're wearing hair that, I'm my hair doesn't
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: do that though.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, wear up front where it's the way you should
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: wear it, first of all. Every day okay, episode no
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: hair is allowed out.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: God no. But like that's like when you're like seven
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: years old. I can't even do it. This was you yesterday,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: like this seven year old kid. If you've seen that's it.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Starting today, I'm not going to defend age anymore. Every
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: single video that we put out on YouTube, every single
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: one go back right says.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Ooh why these guys wearing backwards hats?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: And every single comment gets a reply from me in
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: a unique way.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: You're just one forwards that should be yours. I don't
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: wear backwards emo boy hair, which I mean, it's kind of.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Funny actually one of them. Why are they?
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Why do they wear backwards hats every day trying to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: hide that they don't have hair? That was yesterday and
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I was like, what uh I got?
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: I tell you why? And it's the same hair. It's
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: the same hand I've worn every day on the show.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: It's because I don't have to comb my hair.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: AJ's got lots of hair, and I could care less
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: that I don't have hair.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I was doing clearly.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I I struck a chord with AJ with my hair
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: coming out of my foul territory shop dot com.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: I love that hat.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: I love the hat. I love the hat.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: It's just the fact that the way you wore the hat.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Well have new shirts baseball the way it should be
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: covered only a charge independent asks.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: Mark as well we're on the air, because he can
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: answer my ear. How do I not have one of
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: all of these?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? We just gave you a whole
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: care package.

• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I should.

• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Scan.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Jed Hoyer got extended yesterday.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Remember Jim Bowden was on the last couple of times
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: saying I can't believe that he's not extended.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Hoyer gets the multi year.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: How come we don't know the terms? If you have
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: to release the players, why don't you have to release
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: the GM.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: You don't have to release the player terms. They just
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: get released by insiders.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: That's not true because everyone knows that what everybody makes, right,
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: because teams announce it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: No, no, not every team says the exact money. Some
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: have that policy, some don't. I'm very sure on this one.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I might not know what happened yesterday, but I am
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: very sure that some teams announce it, like the Blue
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Jays will say the exact contract. Some teams do not
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: say the contract terms, but it gets released by.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Company.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why I don't know. I'm just telling you.
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: I promise you that some teams will announce all the
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: money and some teams will not.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: It's actually funny.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: We're talking to Aaron Gleman coming up in a minute
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: about the Twins, and they won't announce anything related.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: To not doing anything again this trade deadline like.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: They have for the last two They made a trade yesterday.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: They've announced they trade.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: They traded Chris Paddock.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, the sheriff got trader.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Hey, I don't remember last year, but I remember yesterday.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Most of the time we've been saving contract.
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: Did that Did he sign it yesterday or did just
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: get released yesterday? As like, we don't know to me,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: Like the articles I was reading, they were saying, oh,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: you know now he's he feels comfortable that he can
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: make these trades. I bet this happened way before. But
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: just just a guess.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Why would they announce it now then?
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: I don't just be right the trade deadline so we
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: could take the pressure on himself before. I don't know
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: how much time we have them the same, you know,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: like Scott Town. I want to know why Croutch is
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Watt's beach is so he remembers where he's at. He's
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: at the beach, just his beach.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, he knows this beach he has in his regular studio,
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: this suburb.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Just the beach.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just the beach.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: It'll be such a beach.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: No, it's just weird because like there's a whole wall
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: and there's just one side that's his beach.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if it's like better than nothing,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: it's better than nothing, that's true.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Thumbs up or thumbs down. Should the Cubs have done
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: that extension? I'm a I'm a yes.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: I'm saying yes, yeah, Yes, he's built them back up.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And he doesn't control all the payroll. He has
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: a boss.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: So if you feel like they should be spending as
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a top five market team, then you've got the wrong guy.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I think he's done a really nice job.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: He landed Kyle Tucker and got out from under Cody's
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Cody's contract. To me, I think it's a big win.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Trade deadline coverage Marathon Thursday one to six Eastern watching
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: right now, you're watching on YouTube. Okay, we'll be on
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: TV too, but three bonus hours on YouTube leading right
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: up to that trade?
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Yes to break down was like a long time AJ
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: is going.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: To I'm going to need at least a three hour break.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Caffeinate, caffeinate.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: Can I just get off at three and then come
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: back at five fifty eight pm? Unbelievable?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So you see what? Yes, yeah, whatever you want? Hey
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: to thank you, Scott, You're welcome.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Two things, uh he mentioned at the back end there
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the Tigers lost resultsan now for the year, it's a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: good rotation, remember there and in that division. Chris Bubich
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: announced yesterday from the team that he's done for the
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: season two with the Rota.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: That's a sad one.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: That is a sad one. Damn what a year for him.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: This was the breakout. Yeah, that's a big shoulder.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that rotator cuff strain is bad.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: That is bad. He was dynamite this year.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was good.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: He's always been a little funky, but he got the
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: funky right.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: It's like funky low lefty slot.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: I was thinking about that, like I always maybe this
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: is old school and not medical at all, but when
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: you look at somebody funky or like, what is that going.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: To hurt differently than other people? But man, he was
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: having such a good year, especially in a half year. Yees. Yeah,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: that's like a Yarborough heat those funky like that, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: you're just like, man, that's got hurt, but it doesn't
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: because it's his body.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're here.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Just a quick couple of minutes on the games yesterday,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Padres Mets was really good. We're gonna get into the
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: umpire situation there. But Tatis made a six six to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: run home run robbery catch and then actually Biento's got him.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: Next day, b with a grand slam got pasted him
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: a little more juice on that homer off of Dylan Cees,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: who is very interesting this year.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Can't figure him out. I mean I think the Ras north.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: Of five four, four to seven or something it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Four to seven. Yeah, it's it's not great.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: No, nobody can figure it out. No, including the Padres.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: They can't, and they might trade him.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I mean pressure. Pressure in a free agent year, come on,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: like it's a real thing.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: True, that's true. It's a good call.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Padres walked him off by the way. They talked to
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Jose Iglesias during this series. Of course, he's like pretty
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: bitter about the Mets not wanting him back. So his
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: dream season is too, he said, beat the Mets, I
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: guess in the CS and then go onto the World
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Series or something like that. He wants to stick it
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: to him, so he was part of the the wind yesterday.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: The walk off Knox, so good for him and Lias
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Diaz pulled that off, and then Luis Robert is putting
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: on a little.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Audition for the Philadelphia Phillies. He hit.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Yesterday.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Let's spread some rumors. Jim Bowden said, the Sandial Contra
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: market is picking up drastically and now looks like there's
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a real chance he gets traded by Thursday. According to
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: injured industry sources, it sounded like they want the price
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: of a number one starter or a cy young candidate.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing any team giving up
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: that level of package for multiple years of control. But
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: maybe they have dropped their asking price a bit.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Maybe I just don't know. Gosh from the Marlins, just
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: save him for the offseason if you're not gonna get
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: what you want here, because it opens up to so
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: many more teams. He's not he's not a free agent.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what if he doesn't pitch well the next
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: couple months.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Then you keep him and you're going to next year
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: and he gets off to a great storry trade him
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: at the trade deadline next year. That's that's the thing, Like,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: you don't have to trade this guy. No, he's the
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: one guy on their team that's making any money. He's
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: the one guy reus the team is making nothing.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: That is true. Who's the name you just mentioned who's
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: pitching right now too, Charlie Morton.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: He's been pitching really well.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: He's definitely getting traded.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: He's pitching good against the Blue Jays.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's absolutely getting dealt.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Where he'll be a cup. Well, he was pitching really well.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: Oh no, nice play by Gay.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean there are starters that will be moved.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: We're just trying to figure out if there are any
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: starters that will pitch playoff games that will be moved.
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: Charlie Morton will pitch a playoff game for you.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Mmm, you want him starting a playoff game for you?
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: He's done it before and he's pitched really well in
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: big games.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: You guys are good with that.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: Seven game series. Absolutely if you're if you're needing him
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: to throw game two, but you don't know how you're
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: gonna get in. Some of these teams are gonna get
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: in on the last day of the season and they're
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: gonna need to come right back around, and they're gonna
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: need a decent number two starter who's really maybe like
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: a number three or four, depending on how they roll
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: into the playoffs, Because you get in a wild card,
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: it could be tough, and I think al Contra, I
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: think the Marlins are doing this right. Take it like
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: you're going to take somebody, and then the rest of
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: this season, even if you don't trade somebody like you're
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: gonna get, you're looking for that trade. You're looking for
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: what that value is rest of the season. Now, if
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Sadie al Contra does better, you can ask for more
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: in the off season. If he does worse, you can say, well, okay,
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: well that's where the bar was at. If we're going
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: to trade him in the off season, this is at
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: least what we need.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Boden also added it's the most bizarre trade the deadline
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: he can ever remember. Some of the best starters are
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: having subpar years, Ceas Gallon al Contra, best closer Class
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: A is in trouble, or On Edmond leave for potential trouble.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: The best power hitter as far as hit by a pitch,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: the best two center fielders Mullins and Luis Robert are struggling,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: and the best available dh Azuna. I didn't see the
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: rest of the tweet, but he's not.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Problem. He did't go deep last night.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Though the other good available dh Ryan O'Hearn has been
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: slumping for a bit as well.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's gonna get sold off.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: But I mean I got a lot of heat from
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: fans who didn't want Cedric Mullins on their team, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I think he's gonna play better the last
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: couple of months because his d metrics are down. He
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: has slumped since the first month. He was real hot
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: in April and then it tailed off. You don't want
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Cedric Mullins on your team?
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: Oh what the tweet end of the Yeah, I do
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: into the tweet said Ozun has five ten five rights.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, so he gets to go where he wants. It's fair.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Guys will get moved. But it has just been a
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: slow market. Usually at this point we have a little
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: more activity than what we've had. You know what really
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: means quiet when Twitter notifications have been quite light today.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: They have Why do you have those on anyways?
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Why not.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Not a notification guy?
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Why how do you get your news?
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I go on Twitter and look, but then you have
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: to keep going in, keep going in. I'm not checking
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: it every five minutes like you.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I don't have to do that because the notifications pop
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: up to all the people on check.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: You should be an Apple watchcas You're like, oh.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Look, but then I'm really checking every five seconds. It's
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: like your hat's got It's it's good for us to
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: be different.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: It's like, if.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: You and me were the same, it would be boring.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: If what if you and me were the same, it
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: would be boring. It's good that happen, though, what you
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: and me being the same? The reds here's another one
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: from Boden Today, The Red Sox, the Yankees, the Blue Jays,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: the Phillies, and the Mariners are speed dialing the Twins
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: at an annoying level, with continued interest in Joe Ryan
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: basically their whole bullpen. Like Jackson Duran, Willie Castro and
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Harrison Vader, Twins could end up being the headliner at
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the deadline is talks heat up. According to his sources.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why not. Here's my question with notifications, because I
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: have them all off on my phone. Can you just
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: do foul territory?
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: No doubt you should be doing that.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Can you do that? Just pick that one.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you go to the homepage on Twitter, any
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: particular account, you hit the bell and you put all
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: notifications on, and then you just would see our tweets.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, Okay, there went out there. You should do that.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: That's right. Hey have you heard of Built? No? Do
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: you pay rent? Yes? Okay, good, let's talk.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: There's no cost to join, and just by paying rent,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: you unlock flexible points that can be transferred to your
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: favorite hotels and airlines, a future rent payment, your next
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: lift right, and much more. When you pay rent through Built,
• 39:27

  Speaker 1: exclusive neighborhood benefits in your city. Built neighborhood benefits or

• 40:19
  Speaker 1: recited by home played umpire Brian Walsh in Baltimore yesterday
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: as a pitch went straight down the pipe?
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Middle middle pitch? Middle middle pitch? Was it framed?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: No do we care?
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: No ump show during trade deadline week has to be
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: so bad that it gets a few minutes. Anyone have
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: something good on this? But a middle middle, tons of mistakes?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Middle middle, aren't the mistakes like at least a little
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: bit towards a corner or an edge. Middle middle, We
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: don't see middle middle.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: And the old excuse was we were set up away
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: and they threw it back on, which is the worst
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: excuse ever. Or you didn't catch it? Get that good?
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: Like why does it better how I catch?
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: What if he blinked on a bug?
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: What if a bug stung him? Be stung him like
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: Michel Franco, Sorry, I had that happened to me once,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: Like hell in the.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Middle stung by a be during the game, and he
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: kept going, yeah, I mean they didn't take you out.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I looked like, well, Red Sox had a rocket flight yesterday.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: A bunch of guys were messed up from the flight.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Apparently you see that.
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm sure I didn't see that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Wait what Red Sox had some turbulence on the flight
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: and then now was like supposedly turbulence, So guys aren't
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: feeling well, you didn't see all that?
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: No, miss, yeah, that's gonna be.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Guys don't get IVS in the clubhouse. IVS in the
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: clubhouse because of turbulence.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: No, that would be for dehydration. Dehydration in the air
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: is usually caused wait.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, wait wait wait, my my earpieces aren't working.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: What you didn't hear about this?
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: No? Yeah, they ran into weather.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: They had to land in Detroit because there was weather
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: going into Minnesota. So a flight that left at like
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: whatever seven didn't get into Minnesota to one because they
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: landed in Detroit. So they had some time to kill
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: in Detroit, and then they had to take a stay
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: on the plane and they had to get back up
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: in the air, you know, land a bird somewhere else,
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: get back up in the air, and then they landed
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: in Minnesota at one in the morning. And then the
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: next day yesterday. There was some guys who were pretty
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: banged up from the tough flight, and Alex Korus said,
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what happened. I was sleeping and we
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: got there and I go, whoa, it's one in the morning.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: He said, I'm not sure if everybody's going to be
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: available tonight because of the tough, tough turbulence on our
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: flight in.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: They got in at one am, like not like a
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: guy can understand if they got in at six.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Am, Am, one am, AJ, that's it.
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, Alex, I love you, but come on dog.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Well he was kind of calling them out way.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I'll give you the direct quote from Alex Cora manager
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: in the rating. Okay, rough flight last night, very rough
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: for them. I don't know I slept through it, but
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of people banged up after that flight.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: AJ, listen, I've been on life flights. There you go,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: thank you, Okay. I've been on flights where we couldn't
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: get places because of weather we've had. I've been on
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: flights where the plane's broke and we can't take off
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: and we sit there for hours on the runway. I've
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: been on flights where we get in at six in
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: the morning and play that night. But I've never had
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: a rough enough flight to where people had to get
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: ivs and couldn't play.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Get in at one am. Then you have a night game.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: That's like early for a lot of places. Seven fly
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: across country, get it four or five in the morning,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: and people were banged up, But not because of turbulence
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: up There are other reasons.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: Have you seen any plane flight that the turbulence has
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: been that bad.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've had somewhere you're you're gripping, you're white
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: knuckling it, You're like, oh, Nelly, I've landed.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh shoot, and dudes are puken because
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: of the turbulence.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, I see guys get sick, because there's guys
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: that are deathly afraid to fly, Like definitely absolutely did
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: they play the next day? Of course there wasn't even
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: because it's like being seasick. As soon as you hit land,
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: it normally goes away pretty quickly when you're seasick. Because
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I get seasick, but I still like the fish, but
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: I'm a little Then as soon as I hit land,
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: it goes away like that.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I had a concussion and ever since
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I get motion sickness sometimes.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: Saying all the Red Sox had a concussion.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: No, but my thing is it goes away after like
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know, an hour or two, not twelve hours later. No,
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: wait even more than that one am game was at
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: what seven pm? Sixteen eighteen hours later, eight eastern long long,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: long time later.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Oh wow, that is that is wow.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Things took a turn.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: But Jeremy, Jeremy player super excited. Maybe we didn't know
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: the players as well as we knew the players. We
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: thought we knew the players.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Is there any chance that someone had a cocktail and
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: that could mess you up?
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not on the plane, Flot No, Scott,
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: I wasn't on the plane, Okay.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Next up on UMP Show, Juan Soto was the most
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: fired up he's been the entire season, according to people
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: that cover the team. Every day he went after who
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: was it behind the plate?
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Dylan?
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: No, I don't know the home played up.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: I don't know who it was. I didn't see who
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: I did. I'm just forgetting his name. A meal? Is
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: that time for the meal?
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: I think someone to look it up for us.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I l because the post game, Carlos Mendoza
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, no way to sugarcoat it. He was
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: off Emil Jimenez. So that's the two to one pitch
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: that drove Soto nuts. And then the cold strike three
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: was closer. It still was probably a tick off the plate.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: There you go, that's a strike. He was pissed about
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: the two one. The two one was off the plate,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: but then later in the game he gets a pitch
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: pretty far off the plate vertically. Do you think that
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: At that point they were like, all right, there it is.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Screw this guy.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Oh that happens. Yeah, guy's gonna I'm calling everything right
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: crat Oh this guy complains, I'll show him. It happens.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: And not necessarily with the young guys, not the young umpires,
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: but the older guys. They they love that you need
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: to go back. And we had DJ Stewart on DJ
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Stewart got called out on a pitch that was this
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: far off the play with Eronis Chapman throwing one hundred,
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: and Bill Miller was like, he goes strike three every
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: other time, he's like strike three. That time it was
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: like it was it was great. I mean he totally
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: just like sarcastically struck him out to end the game,
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: and DJ was like, U, I shouldn't have argued.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I mean he got ten calls wrong the whole game.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: That's kind of average. Only three misses on called ball
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: accuracy and seven misses on called strike accuracy. It's just
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: ones that stood out and happened to effect the highest
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: paid player in baseball.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: One.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: Soda is gonna get one. SODA's gonna get the ABS
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Challenge System sponsorship. So is cal Rawley. Those guys know
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: the strike zone and they're just gonna be like, hey,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: one thousand dollars every time I get your ABS Challenge
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: System to go up on that scoreboard over there.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Good, it'll be great theater. I can't wait for that.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: A game like last night, you think players aren't going
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: to get into it with umps. Yesterday is a perfect example.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be head tapping all day. I'm
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: just gonna get pissed, especially if he's always right. Yeah,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: guys still have.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: There's umps with egos, not as many as there used
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: to be, but there's some. Right.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Imagine if you're an ump and you get head tapped
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: next year for the ABS Challenge System and you're wrong,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: like twelve times, and it's just constant challenge is going
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: on because you don't lose him unless you lose the challenge.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: You know what, I'm paving a bad name. It's gonna
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: get interesting.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: Hey, j maybe you look at it differently, but I
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: look at Brian Walsh, the guy who missed it right
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: down the middle. I look right at their body language.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: That dude, if you watch the highlight, he just stood
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: there and didn't move. Ye made he made a mistake,
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Not even that guy. And that's how you know. To me,
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: that's how you know when you have or umpires. I
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: liked the ones who are like, ah, man, crats, I
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: kicked that one, didn't I. I'm like, yeah, you did.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: And the hitters like, doesn't say anything. Then they know
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: it and they're some of them. They spend like the
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: rest of the game apologizing. It's like, just hey, lock
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: into the next one.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: Let's spend the last couple of minutes here honoring the
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: late great human being and Hall of Famer Ryan Sandberg,
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: who passed away lost a battle with cancer, sixty five
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: years old, Gone way too soon. Legendary ballplayer, former MVP
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: nine stray gold gloves ten consecutive All Star selections, five
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: tool great great dude.
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I only met him a couple of times.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Scrafts might have known him a little bit better than me,
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: but just a great person. Man. I told this story.
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: I did Colin Cowhard today and they asked me about this,
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: and I said, you know, I grew up in Florida.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: We didn't have a team. We had the Braves on
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: TBS and during the day when I get home from school,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: we had WGN, so I got to watch all the
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: Cubs games. And I was pumped when I came home
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: and got to watch the Cubs, even though I was
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: never a Cubs fan, but I got to see Ryan
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: Samberg and that was his prime years through all that
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: and one of the best players I ever saw, one
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: of the best people I ever met. And just prayers
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: to his family and man, we everyone thought he beat
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: cancer and then it came back rapidly and was gone
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: too fast. So it's been a rough couple of weeks
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: in Chicago for people passing away way too soon. And Ryano,
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: You'll be missed, buddy, He will totally be missed. And
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: I won't even talk anything about baseball.
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: The fact that he was my manager in Tripaa, the
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: year that basically transitioned my career from a minor leaguer
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: to a big leaguer. But I'll talk about the fact
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: that my daughter was born in twenty twelve and his wife, Margaret,
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: and him just the outpouring of like love that he
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: showed to me, a player that he only managed for
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: one year and then continued that relationship all the way
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: along through the end of my career and post days.
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: Anytime I'd come into Chicago, I'd always hit him up,
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: like this is a guy, him and his wife that
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: made me and my wife feel loved and cared for
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: in the clubhouse, outside of the close clubhouse, in the
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: wives room, like just incredible, incredible human beings. And that's
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: not even talking about you know, what he did on
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: the field. But he will totally he'll be sorely, sorely
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: missing his way too.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Soon, all right, Pete Ryan Samberg, Yeah, tough day, tough
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: night to hear the news yesterday. And Kratz you said,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: and now we're staying on for an extra minute or
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: two here for the YouTube crowd. You got to spend
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: some time actually playing under him as a skipper.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and at Triple A. Your managers can be like
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: you're like, ah, whatever, I just want to get out
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: of here and.
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: I want to be in the big leagues.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: He understood that part of it because he was actually
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: trying to work his way back up through the minor
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: league system to be a manager again in the big leagues.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: It didn't work out in the big leagues as a manager,
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: whether it was a team they put around him, whether
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: it was how he you know, connected with the team,
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: whatever it is, Like what he did for me and
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: a couple of my teammates down in Triple A, he
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: made me realize that you could be a superstar, that
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: you could come back and work at what you want
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: to accomplish, and you can also be a like real
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: human being. Like I didn't get to spend more time
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: around any Hall of Famer more than I did around
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: Ryan Samberg and his wife Margaret, And I say them,
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: you know, in conjunction to the point where twenty eighteen
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: we were playing the Cubs and obviously they bring him
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: back and Margaret and him were sitting in the stands.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: They got to sit next to my wife who was
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: cheering for the Brewers, and it couldn't have been more
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: happy for my family for me that we won the game. Obviously,
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: being a Cubs ambassador, being a Cubs fan, they wanted
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: the Cubs to win. They wanted to Cubs to win badly,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: and yet like that connection for me made it feel like, oh, yeah,
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: he's a Hall of Famer. You forget that he was
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer, You forget that he had all
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: those accolades because of how down to earth and human
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: he was. I mean, I really there's a couple coaches
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: and managers that I really credit the opportunity I had
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: to spend as much time in the big leagues as
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: I did, and he is by far one of them.
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: He's up there in the top five for sure.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: You man, great player for kids to watch, obviously if
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: you were lucky enough to be able to watch him
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: when he was playing. Just model example in the game,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: on and off the field. So we're thinking about Ryan
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Samberg's family today and that's how we'll say bye everyone
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: on FT. Lastly Northside Territory put out in episode our
• 54:30
