• 0:05
  Speaker 1: There is. Hey, j are you in the car right now?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on the car in the car going to
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: get some food and then entered the field after this.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: So where you're going? What do you get to eat?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: So I found a pretty good place around here that
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: does a good like sour dough bread with some some
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: other stuff like toast and jam, and then like an
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: egg sandwich type thing. And then it also has really
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: good coffee, which I'm definitely addicted to at this point.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: But yeah, Jay, good to see you, buddy. Interesting year
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: last year, you know, being together you I don't even
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: know what your role was on the team last year.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: Sometimes you were starting, sometimes you're in the bullpen. You'd
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: be in the bullpen, and then a starter would you know,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: not be able to make a start, you would pitch.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: What's been the difference? I mean, you're an All Star
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: this year? When when did the closer conversation start? And
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: then you know, just take us kind of through this
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: roller coaster of you know, a year.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I you know, twenty four, I had
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: a full year uh as a rookie there and then
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: came into camp twenty five just looking to make a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: bigger impact and didn't break with the team out of
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: spring there, and that kind of stung a little bit.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: And then, uh, you know, got.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Called up early early into the season and kind of
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: just had to earn my earn my way again, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you know, the role was changing every day and every series,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: as it seemed from everyone's perspective there you saw it,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: so uh really just you know, I was keeping the
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: door open to to those lengthier outings and luckily it
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: led to spot starts that I feel like opened more
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: eyes with the team here and in the front office.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And then you know, coming into this year, that was
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: my number one goal was to be a starting pitcher
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: here and try to break the rotation. And uh, just
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the way that our team kind of was structured out
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: of camp, the best spot for me was to be
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: in the bullpen. And again another kind of you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: just a little bit of moment of adversity that I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you know, I didn't really take too personally, but at
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the same time, like that's something I really wanted, wanted
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: to do. That was a goal of mine, and so
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I used it as motivation and they they hinted at
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: leverage innings coming out of camp, and it kind of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: just with the way some of the injuries happened, started
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: going pitching later in the games, and then that's something
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I just kind of took with and ran and and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: uh looking up in June and putting up good numbers
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and then found myself in the All Star Games. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: it's really still something that I haven't fully wrapped my
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: mind around even leaving Philadelphia. But I love it, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I love closing out the games and getting wins for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the team, and you know, here we are.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's it's an amazing story considering I
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: was with you last year year and you know, you
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: being sent down a couple of times now being an
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: All Star closer. Tell us a little bit about that
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: experience at the All Star Game. But I also want
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: to ask you about being a closure for the first time.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Has there been someone in the bullpen either this year
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: last year that's kind of helped you through it? And
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: maybe a Chris Martin or Luke Jackson from last year
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: and then maybe some of the guys in the bullpen
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: this year that have kind of helped you kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: evolve into this closure.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You know, well, in twenty four we had Kirby Yates
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and and David Robertson, and you know, we just that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: was my you know, first full year in the in
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the big league. So I was absorbing everything. It didn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: matter who was in what role. I was just ready
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: to take an information and learn anything from being up
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the big leagues. And so Kirby, I mean he dominated.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: He went to the to the All Star Game in
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: twenty four and had a one like a level one
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: e RA. So that was, uh, that was really cool
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: to witness. And then last year, you know, in twenty
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: we had Chris Martin to your point, Luke, Luke Jackson
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: and just you know, I'm I ended up going down
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: into Triple A in August, and we had Craig Kimberle.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So uh, you know, I wasn't like thinking about, oh,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I could be in the closer role at some point
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: in my career. But I was still trying to take
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: that information and see, you know, at least what I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: could use in my own game. And then you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: now it's served me well in that ninth inning of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: one being able to trust your stuff. But then a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: routine standpoint more than anything.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, before I ask you a pitching question, I always
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: ask guys this question. When they mentioned coffee, you said
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: you were getting coffee. How do you take your coffee?
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I find it so fascinating how
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: especially pitch take their coffee.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm pretty standard. I like an Americano black. I
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: kind of switched between iced or hot depending on the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: time of the year. So now that it's summer in
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: one hundred in Texas, I gravitate more towards the ice
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: coffee side. But I've like experienced, like tried, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: latte here and there with some milk, but it definitely
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I always am brought back to just the regular Americano.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: I'm a straight black coffee. But Todd was right, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: said you might go with lattes on occasion.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So kudos to Utad you did say that. Know nothing
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: wrong with that.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: I want to talk about your All Star experience real quick.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: What was it like for you? Were you nervous? Who'd
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you get to talk to you know that you were
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: excited about?
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I luckily got to talk with a
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: lot of people that I anticipated in you know, the
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: trouts in Erlander, got to like shake hands with Bryce Harper,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Brandon marsh from the af Phillies on the Nation League side,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and then you know, Kem Schulitzler from New York and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: then the Bullpen guys were all who I talked to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the most, between Louis Barling, Kate Smith, Baker, you know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and I rolled this a little bit as well with
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: him being here in twenty three. And then my my
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: lockermates were Dylan Cease and You're done. So we were
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: fresh office series against the Astros where You're done hit
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a seemingly a home run every bad against us, So
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I was trying to help them or like trying to
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: ask them to calm it down against us a few times.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: But uh, it was just like a whirlwind of.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You know, every moment you're you're filled with with time.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: There's really no really you know, space to just kind
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: of sit down and and absorb everything. You're You're kind
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of just going from one thing to the next. So uh,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: it's tough in that standpoint, but I was still able to,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you know, get the memories in meet up with family,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: meet people that I've played against and compete against and
• 6:56

  Speaker 3: I have two questions.
• 8:08
  Speaker 8: I'll just want to be quick, like when you're in
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: the alcou said he talked to world as Chapman. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: mean talk about a specimen of a human being like
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: I got. I got to be with him from the
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: Red minor league system all the way up into the
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: big league. Talk about I feel like he gets better
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: with age. It's just incredible. And I would love to
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: know the conversations you had when because he's a very
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: smart guy too as well.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: He is he's very you know, reserved as well.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I think I had heard so many things about role
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: this before getting called up, and then I got called
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: up in September of twenty three, and you know, I
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: was like, I kind of want to see because more
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: so from the workout standpoint, I was like, I kind
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: of want to see it. So he had like a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: workout and it was if it was a leg day
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: and he was working out, he hit every single leg
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: exercise you possibly could. Like, it wasn't just like I'm
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: doing squats today. I was like, I'm gonna do squats,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do lunges, I'm gonna do like hamstream curls.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Like it was literally everything.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I was like, and then we'll turn around the next
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: day and go pitch the ninth and and you know,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: well one hundred past you. So I was like, I
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: kind of just joke around with them because I feel
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: like some of it's a little bit disconnect with the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: English Spanish barrier there, but really just congratulated him on
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the strikeout record, told him it's been amazing to watch,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: and then I I'm trying to get into the same
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: role as him now in the ninth inning, but got
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: a lot more years to try to achieve what he has.
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, dude, I think he's a potential Hall of Famer.
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: You talk about guys you look up to? Is there
• 9:46
  Speaker 8: talk about your team a little bit? I mean, I
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: I don't want to give away a name, but is
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: there guys on your team who you have great conversation
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: pitching wise? I could probably figure out one, but like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: talk to me about the guys that you've been leaning
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: on a little bit in your organize as Yeah, right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: I mean I think everyone knows now of all these
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: an open book and someone who is is really good
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: with the younger pictures and and able to kind of
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: just give everything that he's got and and also like coach.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Es and and break down our mechanics.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I think de Gram's another one that's that's easy to
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: uh to try to pick.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: The brain up.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Of course, you know that's someone I grew up with
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and or grew up watching, and so it's it's still
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: crazy that we're in the same locker room with with
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a guy like him. But yeah, bringing in Gore this year, uh,
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: you know in the bullpen, you know you got Todd
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Alexander Jacob Junas has been a guy I've leaned on.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: He's he has the most experienced down there, and you
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: know we've been working in.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: The eighth ninth together.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So just again observing, picking up on the routines and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: then you know, gorbing a left handed picture as well,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: just trying to you know, see see like how he
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: thinks on the mound and where he.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Gets his his pitch.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Shapes from, or you know, what he tries to do
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: to strike out guys, because you know, he's one of
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: the better strikeout pitchers in baseball and that's something that I,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I haven't really done that well up until
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: this year, and so I was really curious to see
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: what his thoughts process was with two strikes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously not easy shoes to feel. You know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: when I was there last year with you, Bruce Bochi
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: was there last year. Tell us a little bit about
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Skip Schumacher. I know he was around a ton last year,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: but you know what's been kind of the biggest difference
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: between Boach and Skippy in there. And then you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you guys are obviously in a good position. You're you
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: guys are one game up over. You know, tell us
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: a little bit about you know where your team's at
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: and you know kind of what you guys are expecting
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: in the second half.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Skips from great You know, he came in last
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: year and was able to observe everything, you know, from
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a distance a little bit, but at least he had
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: that formality with UH. With a lot of us coming
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: into camp this year and you know, you were around
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: like we didn't uh, we didn't gel like thrive on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the field the way that we wanted.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: To last year. But we still have a really good group.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we've been around UH these guys now for
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a couple of years, so it's continuing to grow. We've
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: had a lot of adversity. We can you know, we
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: show signs of never giving up and being resilient, and uh,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I've said it before. I think it really will serve
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: us well down the stretch when we get on a
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: good run and hopefully into the playoffs and and you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: looking to to win the Pennant race here. But uh yeah,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I think overall, like it's been a lot of ups
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: and downs, we seem to be hovering around the five
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: hundred mark and skips a guy who's uh gonna keep
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: it pretty steady. He's gonna you know, break bread with
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: us in the in the lunch room and dinner room
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: after the games. He's gonna be around when you know,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: the FIFA was on yesterday and you know, we had
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a good bracket going there and so the guys who
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: were competing for the championship there, you know, he was
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: writing the mix and just cheering for us, and even
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: though we came up a series loss. So it's just
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: he feels, you know, a part of the group, someone
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: that we can talk to, very approachable, and so it
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: helps us kind of you know, not get you down
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: on ourselves and then continue to go on streaks when
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: we've shown some signs of doing some good things this.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Year, Jacob, I got one more for you. Might be
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: a little unfair because you're in the season and you
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: talk about coming into the season potentially wanting to start.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Do you still feel that way or do you feel
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: like the closer role is kind of where you think
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: you'll end up staying or you'll just kind of see
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: how the future plays out.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the the the easy answer and the
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: you know, the boring answers.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: I'll see how it plays out.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I will say though, that I do there is something
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: about the ninth inning that I've really started to to
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: grow into into. Like again, I've hinted at the routine
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: aspect of it, slow built into the day, the ability
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to impact games on a regular basis as opposed to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: every five days, even though that is a lot, sometimes
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the days in between seem like they drag on for
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: a while.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Uh So, we'll see. But I do love the.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Ninth inning role and I hope to carry that on
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: for as long as I can.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, you mentioned that you guys.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Did you mention you guys were watching the World Cup
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: in the clubhouse yesterday and Skip was there?
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Well.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Tell me about what that was like. To watch it
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: as a.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Group we had you know, we all did pick the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: names out of the hat, and I drew Argentina actually,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: and then someone else drew Spain, and.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: I think Jock ended up.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Making some deals with with guys to have a couple
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: of different teams, so he was kind of destined to
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: be in the finals, so as Jock and I and
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: then on the coaching side, Rob Rajas and Argentina I
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: think was one of the trainers.
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: So we were all kind of like they're.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Just trying to see who was gonna take home the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the winnings, and you know, Skip was right in the mix.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Like I said, we were. We were about to catch the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: bus and go to the airport. But there wasn't a
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: lot to cheer about, so it wasn't the greatest experience.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: But ultimately, yes, being taken home and I didn't win,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: of course Jack won and Rob Brajas, but good for them,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Team bonding, team chemistry, even though there wasn't a whole
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: lot to cheer about with that game, Jake, we appreciate
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much, and good luck the rest of
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: the season.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Go get your sour dough or your coffee or whatever
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you say, sour. Is that what you're getting?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sour dough with some with some jam on it.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, that's that's good.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Are you a sourdough you know surely you're not a
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: sour dough maker? Like, do you have a sourdough start?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, Jake, I will have I will, I will deliver
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: you some when I get back from this trip. I'll
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: have my wife make you some and I will bring
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: you some.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Well, perfect people, they understand it.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: It's yeah, if you have some good quality sour bread like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: trust me, it's it's awesome.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: So I appreciate you. Guys.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: We can we can tell you're not from my area
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: calling it soured old bread. But that's okay. Listen, I
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: know exactly what you mean. Brother. It's very good and
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: you call it Jamoh I love that. I love it.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: No, Yeah, what's it called?
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: It's you.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: It's either whatever type of bread you want, So I
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: just called bread for one, you know, semolina. There's all
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: different types of you know, bread that you can get,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: but all good.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: That's what they do. White toast, I mean whatever, it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: all good.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: No, sourdough bread is not white toast. Sour dough bread
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: is much better for you than white toast top.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: But it's thicker. It's a thicker piece thick.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: So hey, I mean, well I was you know, I've
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: been gluten free or whatever since I was eight, so
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: sourdough is one of the pieces of bread that doesn't
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: have it in there, so I'm able to at least
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: consume it. And it's delicious. That That's kind of why
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: I'm on that cake right now.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Perfect.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: I love that we learned something new about Jakes today.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: All Right, thank you so much, Jake. Good luck the
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: rest of the season. We appreciate you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate your time. Thank you.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: Wow, we just learned so much more about Jake gluten
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: free for a while, love sour dough bread, and Todd
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: thinks white bread is sour dough bread.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: I've went to a restaurant before and I asked for
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: They what kind of toast you want? I said, I
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: want white toast with light butter, and they say, oh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: you mean sour dough.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I said, no, that is not what I want.
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: I don't want the thickest piece of bread you're gonna
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: get with your breakfast.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I want the.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: White bread or what's the other one called?
• 17:57
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Rye? Give me Rye, like I'll take come on, ry is.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: The worst kind of bread. I hate Ryan. It's only.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: Every time I get the sour Lady's like, well, it's
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: just so you know, it's really thick bread.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't want it. Then I don't want
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the bread. I just want I want nothing, and I
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: bet it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: But like he said, it's so much better for you,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: kind of better you.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: I'm a sour dough I me and my wife makes it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: You know, we have it all the time. You know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: she pretty much makes everything out of sour dough. It's great, pancakes,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: cinnamon rolls, tortillas, it's great.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Sour dough. Cookies are so much better than anybody thinks. Todd,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: you gotta get on the right track here, all right.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: I'm lost. I'm lost in translation here.
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: I want to ask you something. I didn't get a
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: chance to ask Jacob this.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: But the the Rangers presented him, obviously with his all
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: star uniform, but they also gave him a gift. They
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: gave him a golf back. Jacob's a huge golfer. Did
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: you ever teams when you went to the All Star game,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: they give you a gift in addition to like obviously
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: presenting youw jersey or is that kind of a newer thing.
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: No, I don't remember. I remember having to, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: get gifts for the team. Remember that, Like, I, what
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: did I get the team? I got them all. You know,
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: some guys would get shirts or whatever for me. Also,
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: I was like, oh, no, that's not it. It was
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: some kind of electronic. I got thirty of them for
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: the boys and for the coaches. I forget what electronic.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: It was something to deal with music. But I went
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: above and beyond there for the boys. But I never
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: I never received a gift. I know that's nice.

• 20:51
  Speaker 1: All right, this is a fun segment.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: You guys get to say whether you think they're going
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: to be traded or if you think they're stay and put,
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: and what teams they might go to. And I guess
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: we're spinning the wheel on my cue once I tee
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: one of you up.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Yeah, let's get that wheel spinning, take it away?
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: All right, that's been the wheel. I'm excited. I've always
• 21:11
  Speaker 9: wanted to be on a game show.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Big Box, No Whemban, Here we go.
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: Oh I love that. I love that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Do I think he's gonna stay or go? Watch covering
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: this Blue Jays team has obviously been a very disappointing year.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I think the fact that you know, a team like
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Detroit has played better, you know, recently, and Scooble was
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: obviously the prized possession. I think the Blue Jays are.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: I think that the next week is going to be
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: very telling. I think if they can go out and
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: maybe win, you know, six or seven games, I think
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: we're having a different conversation. But the way that they've
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: been playing recently or actually the entire year, I don't
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: think they have a choice. I think it's going to
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: be a very difficult conversation to have with a guy
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: like Kevin Gosman. What he's meant to that organization. He's
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: exceeded the expectations of what they did when they signed
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: him there. But I think he's the He could be
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: the best picture available on the market right now, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I think they can kind of get a for it
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: and put their franchise in a really good situation. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: you never know what things like this, how much Gosman's
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: been knowing it potentially could be the end of his career.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: He's talked about potentially retiring at the end of the year,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: but there is a chance that they trade him. He
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: goes on somewhere and maybe they bring him back next
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: year for his final year.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Love that take, Love that take.
• 22:35
  Speaker 6: All Right, we're gonna spin the wheel again and it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: Todd's turn, right, Yes, do I have this right? I'm
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: totally new to this whole game show thing. I'll never
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: be hosting the prices, right, that's for sure.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Come on, come on, come on, school schoolble Oh not yet.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: No, here we go ooh see.
• 22:55
  Speaker 8: J Abrams fantastic. This guy has been talked about for
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: a long time now. He's been absolutely fantastic under team
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: controls through twenty twenty eight. So that makes a little
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: bit of a difference of what they want to do here.
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: The Braves have been linked to be a dream possibility
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: for them. The Braves are fantastic team. If they find
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: a way of getting somebody like c j Abrams watch out,
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: I think that would be a potential for them to
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: make a good little push against the ever.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: So loved Dodgers. Listen.
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: Red Sox also have an opportunity I think linked with
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: them to the President of Baseball Ops Paul Tiboni, could
• 23:36
  Speaker 8: look to make another trade so listen, the guy has
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: been really good. I think it's an opportunity for the
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: Nationals to get back some guys. I think this is
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: a time to let him go and let him go
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: prosper somebody else, because the Nationals are just not in it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: So I think they should be trading. Come trade deadline sellers, sellers, sellers.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: You heard it from Todd first, All right, KIPI, it's
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: your turn to spin the wheel.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Spin it said, Oh, okay, okay, are they gonna trade
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Jose Soriano? What Jose Soriano did for the first eight
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: starts of the year was historic.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: I was a teammate of him.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: This guy is really just scratching the surface of being
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: a bona fide ace in this game. You talk about
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: impact pitchers, and you talk about when you're trying to
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: make a trade at the trade deadline and you're acquiring
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: a pitcher. Do you see this guy pitching one of
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: the postseason games and Jose Soriano checks that box for me?
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: Are the Angels gonna trade him? That's the multi million
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: dollar question right here. I know, with Harry out John mazzalagain,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: does he have the pulse of the room, Does he
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: have already's ear and tries to put this Chize in
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: a situation where over the last couple of years they
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: haven't quite been able to get to You think about
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: guys that go Tani that they didn't trade and they
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: could have got a franchise altering return for Not to
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: say Soriano is going to get that same return. You know,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: with him being under team control for a couple more years,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: his value is extremely high right now. The fact that
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: he would start a postseason game for many teams such
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: as the Phillies, the Blue Jays if they.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: Decided to buy.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: How about the Chicago White Sox getting a guy like
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: him in their rotation. You can never count out teams
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: like the Dodgers, the Braves, and even the Cubs, a
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: team desperate for starting pitching. I would love to see
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: the Angels trade him because that's just not what they've
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: done in the past. You have an asset they're not
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: going anywhere this year, the next year, probably another year
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: after that.
• 25:38
  Speaker 9: Start to build for the future.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Oh that's great.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm still laughing at Todd absolutely roasting me in
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: the group chat over this.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Eighteen hundred. You can just spend the wheelbacks go.
• 25:53
  Speaker 8: Ahead, not bad boy. Come on, I'm waiting for one
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: guy and one guy only, Scooble, Come on, give it
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: to me. Yes, yes, I you know, had a feeling. Listen,
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: they've been doing good. But I've been on this team. Man,
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: I don't know what it is. I feel like the
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: time is out, the time is running out. This is
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: a guy in Trek Scuoble that this team needs to
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: get rid of. You know, I'm just going straight to
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: the bullet here. This is a team that understandably needs
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: to get a lot of guys to help them in
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: the long run. I don't think Trek Schouble is going
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: to come back after this year, So what are you
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: waiting for? This is the time to get rid of
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: this guy. Even though yeah, he's the best pitcher in baseball,
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: one of the best. He's the best left handed pitcher
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: in baseball. He's awesome.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: I get it. But it's time to get more guys.
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: You can get pretty much whomever you need prospect wise,
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: a couple veterans, whatever you need in this situation. You
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: might have to eat up a little money, but it's
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: the time come trade deadline to see who will be there.
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: It's a hard decision. But at the same time, he's
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: probably gonna stay knowing what the Tigers like to do
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: and thinking they have a chance to win the World Series.
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: I don't see it. They still got a fight to
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: get in the playoffs. So time write it down, send
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: it on over. They're open for business.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Time to sell, all right, we'll.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: See I guess you think Scooble's on the move. All right, KP,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: it's your turn. Spin that wheel.
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: All right, let's spin it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: I was hoping for Joe Ryan, but Saizuki, Wow, this
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: is very interesting. I know he's gonna be a free
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: agent at the end of the year. He's putting up
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: good numbers, but and he has a no trade clause.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: The Cubs are in this thing. I think the Cubs
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: whether the only scenario I see the Cubs moving on
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: from a guy like this is a major League for
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: major the player trade. If the Cubs are able to
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: go out and maybe acquire a guy like George Kirby
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Luis Castillo from the Mariners, who could obviously use a
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: little bit more offense in their lineup, you have my
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: blessing to do that. But if you're going out and
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: getting rid of Suzuki for potentially the future. I don't think.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I don't see the Cubs doing that. The Cubs are
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: in a position, uh to go out and win a
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: wildcard spot. I just don't see him doing it. I mean,
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: unless the Phillies maybe are going to give you some
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: some major league ready starting pitching, which I don't think
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: they necessarily have outside of their guys in the major
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: leagues right now. But I don't see the Cubs moving
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: on from him. I think I think he stays.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Okay, Gosha, he's saying put with the Kubies. Todd agrees.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Todd agrees, Okay. Todd is also spinning the wheel.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Go Todd, it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Where we're gong. You know, he's Donnie Gray.
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: How about this guy man coming in twelve and one
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: two point four eighty ra He's been absolutely a delight
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: in Boston. You're not trading this guy, You are not selling,
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: you are keeping this guy. He's been unbelievable. I mean,
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: think about his career. You know what he started at
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: in Oakland, went with the Yankees. He's been around the
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: block with a couple of different teams, you know, Cardinals.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: He's been doing it and it just seems like he's
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: one of those guys like, man, he's still pitching. Yeah,
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: he's and he's doing fantastic. He has a no trade
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: clause if they do wind up selling, which I don't
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: think they will. Uh he's been talking linked about saying, hey, listen,
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: I will move my no trade clause, you know if
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: you guys are selling, So that's always a part. But
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: they are doing great. They're in third place in the wildcard.
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: This guy has been a staple, Keep him and go
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: buy something else. So they're not selling him all right.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: Not selling keeping him KP final I got.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: The final one. I think let's do it.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Got the final spin and no pressure.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: One guy left, Jose Ryan.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think absolutely he gets traded.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: I know Minnesota has been kind of a surprise this year,
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of floating in that wildcard spot. Obviously
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the division they play in, there's no runaway right now.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: Do they have an outside chance of going out and
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: getting a wildcard spot? Possibly, But you consider everything the
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Twins did last year and pretty much selling off everything
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: that they had minus Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton. Joe
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: Ryan coming off an All Star appearance two point five
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: e er a whip right around one. He's also controllable
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: for the through the twenty twenty seventh season. I don't
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: think his trade value is ever going to be higher.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: We heard Bob earlier on the show talk about how
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: this is going to be the ultimate seller's market. What
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Joe Ryan can get in return from teams like the
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: White Sox, as the Blue Jays decided to go on
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: at the Cubs are desperate for starting pitching, and the
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Diamondbacks could also use another starter. So I think there's
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: no better time to sell this guy. You know, it's
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: a hard thing to sell to your franchise the Minnesota
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: fans as well too, but considering what they did last
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: year and the position they put themselves in this this year,
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: pretty incredible. But setting yourself up for the future, Joe
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Ryan's your big piece, you know, unless you're able to
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: get convinced Byron Buckson and move on, Joe Ryan is
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: going to bring you a king's ransom back
