• 1:10
  Speaker 3: his high school career, and it's the best feeling in
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: the world, especially as a parent. If you're a part
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: of the team and crowds being the coach, it's congratulations.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: It's pretty awesome.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Yeah, you know what. I watched the game
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: back yesterday, watched it with my family. One of the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: cooler things that you don't see as a coach because
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you're like locked in, is right at the end, they
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: panned a shot. The game was telecast on I think
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: it's called PCN or something, but they panned a shot
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to the parents in the stands, and you know, the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: parents are always like supporting and following and everything.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: And the parents are like, oh, they're like bawling. Other
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: parents have their like hands on their head, like I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: can't believe this. This is unbelievable. The boys are bouncing around.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: So it's cool.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: We get our we got our sick trophy, we got
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: our battle here. It's hard to see with the yeah,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: like it's legit. It's way better than the way better
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: than the district one that you get. This a little, tiny,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: little district one. This one's very nice. We played a
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: good team and Eden Christian who had actually been there
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: three straight years.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: They were in the.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: State semi finals and they lost all three years. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: mean like that's still just it. Obviously, I'm just about
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: our team winning. But knowing that that's on the other side,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that is that is tough.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Who is that in pro sports? Like the Buffalo Bills? Bills, right,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: is there a baseball erson of that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Braves for years for that team? That's the one the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Braves are all those years the Bills. Yeah, that's really
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: in the last fifty forty years. Probably.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Braves.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Baseball for sure, with all their talent, they only winning
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the one they always They had all those guys too there,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, they were there forever.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it makes That's what I think of.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: You know, when I think of playing that team in
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: high school, I'm like a lot of these kids have
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: been there for three straight that they had a few seniors. Ironically,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: their best hitter, like by far was the guy who
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: made the last out in the game. Like you think
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: about that because I remember losing games. I remember losing
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to the Dodgers, to the Astros, to the Cardinals, like
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, all that's up to the Giants in
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: the World Series Game seven, Like you remember that as
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: much as the kids on our team, the three seniors
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: on our team will remember winning, and everybody else will
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: remember winning as there's always another side to it too.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yep, that's right. You make it that far. The Blue
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Jays last year and oh gosh, how many moments did
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you feel like one thing changes the Blue Jays win?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was the whole. They were this far away
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: from winning. They were literally this far away.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: From so many close moments.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I mean I remember, I mean, you know what crowd
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: is talking about the first the first title that my
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: son was able to win. When it's twenty twenty one,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: you know, the star player wasn't that team? Oh and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I'm seeing how crushed they were. The team, the team
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: they played, the team they played was they had Sal
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Stewart was their big their big star. So when I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: see stalat Sally, rub it in a little bit.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But you did on a combat, didn't we have them on?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: He said? He goes, you know what my payback is,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I'm in the big league. True, that's a good that's fair.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean then the last one they won
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: last year, they had their team was pretty loaded. But
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: you know, listen, it's awesome. It's awesome for your kid, Crats.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: That's the ultimate goal. Everyone thinks in high school. That
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: is the end all bell. Everyone remembers their high school,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: but you know, and especially to win a state championship,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: it's something can never take away. It's always always come
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: back to your hometown and say, hey, you know, we
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: got this special moment together.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Always yeah, I mean we talked about it all year.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's going to hang up in the banners. They're always
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: going to see their school year. There the article in
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the paper and Ethan went to, my son either went
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: two for three with a danger and a triple like
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: crunched it, and but he was for the playoffs. He
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: was seventeen for twenty one, so like you got some
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: guys that were we had a freshman. We had a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: freshman who was fourteen for twenty two.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: So we had dudes that stepped up. One of our starters.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Our starting pitchers started three of the four games in
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the state run like incredible, incredible, incredible.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you needed to all come together. You need your
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: best moments when you're facing that kind of competition. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: very cool. Fun Friday for Krats. It's a birthday Monday
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: for Cratz. Let's charge charge about this was actually back
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to back years. Yamamoto took a no hitter into the
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: ninth inning. And for those of you that are like
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you better talk about them, mis We're gonna talk about
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: them is a little bit here, but we're also going
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to talk about him in a whole separate segment that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we have dedicated to him. But Yamamoto was Saturday, a
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: little more recent eight and a third, one hit, won
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and run seven punch outs. You know his opponent very
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: well since they won the series, the Dodgers.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Uh listen. I was at the game yesterday, the Dodgers
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: White Sox game. I stopped by. I was in Chicago yesterday,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: so I stopped by for a little bit and that
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: place was electric, man, I mean it was. It was crazy,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: loud packed. You know, you can say it was a
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: lot of Dodger fans, which it was, but there was
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: also a lot of White Sox fans there. And I
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: got to talk to Steven Nelson and Eric Carros during
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the broadcast and they were like, Wow, this place is great, man,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I mean this is this is a great atmosphere and
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: these guys are legit. And on on Saturday, obviously, Yamamoto
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: had the perfect game. MOOKI made the air and then
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: he gave up the home run to Peters. But I
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: had a lot of White Sox fans saying, you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: if we're gonna lose, why not give up a perfect
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: gam or no hitter. And I was like, you never
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: want to say that, but you know what I mean,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: at least see if you're gonna lose, see history. But
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: they won the series. Yamamoto was awesome in a game
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers. You know, whatever I think, say it's the
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: White Sox. But the White Sox won two out of
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: three against you, against Szaki and she and I know
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it's not snow and glass now, but still and their
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: bats didn't do a whole lot except for the one game.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: So listen to what the White Sox and listen almosh awesome.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So I took my cat to Yamamoto show. Hey, hit
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the homer some home runs in this series, but he
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: didn't get it done. You know, the one thing I
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: found weird about this whole thing was Peter hit the
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: home run because it felt like we won. Dude, he
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: lost almost I get it, but like that that was
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a bad quest. Yeah, moral victory. There are no moral
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: victories in the Major League.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Sorry, no, Yeah, quick on Yamamoto. I mean, I know
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he's being overshadowed by some other dudes in the National League.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Right now, he's got a two five two ERA. This
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is probably the best he's been. He's coming off the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: potential hangover effect you could have after not just you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: back to back World Series appearances being the guy for
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. But this past one they abused him. He
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: volunteered to be abused.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: But maybe if you throw more Scott you can actually
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: get better.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: No way, that's wild. The guy who throws basically more
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: than anyone else is still thriving. And it's not like
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: he's this hulking presence either. It's a small dude. He's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: got eighty five and two thirds innings. He is number
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: two in baseball in whip walks and hits brainnings pitch,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: which is pretty good stat eight four only he's good better.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: But the problem is the National League has about five
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: other pitchers that are just as good, if not better.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: So it's like he's kind of getting lost in the shuffle.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: So I'm glad we're talking about him. But when you have,
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: you know, miz who will talking about but scheme sale,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of other guys that you're like, well,
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: and then you forget the Yamamoto's right there, so it's
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: it's good for him. Man, he's been awesome.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sanchez, Burns, all those guys have better eras than him, Krats.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: He's not even the best Japanese pitcher on his team,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: like show hayes, show Hay's overshadowing him. Like, I just
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: feel like what Yamamoto did last year, obviously in the
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: World Series, it was incredible, and then to come back
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: and have what he's had so far this year a
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: little bit under his career norm with his era, he's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: continually improving.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: But he's out there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: He's the most resilient or most reliable pitcher to take
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the ball every six days in that rotation. Like for
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the fact that what he did last year, you would think, ah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you know, we're gonna back it down. We'll get you
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: our Dodgers twenty five starts so that you're available for
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: six starts in the playoffs.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: But he's out there, he's doing it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He's another guy that you're like, I I gotta look
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: when he's playing like he I think he may have.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: I think it'll be a race to see who gets
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a no hitter first, Schemes or Yamamoto. I feel like
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yamamoto he goes the distance. I feel like Schemes hasn't
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: been necessarily going to distance. But I feel like because
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: he's giving up some runs, maybe there will be a
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: time here this year where he's gonna go distance. I
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: think one of them is gonna get a no hitter
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: What about the Maze he was almost No.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: We're not talking about him yet. We have another segment
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: for that Scottish.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I know, but we can mix it in. I mean,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: no hitters in.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Perfect Game is the most random thing ever because you
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: look at like a Greg Maddox, John Small, Tom Glove
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: and they never threw a no hitter. They never even
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: I don't even know if they came close. Did Page
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Pager never threw no hitter? Did he did? Piger Martinez?
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: I know he got he had the one where uh,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I think Carl Ever or no, that was Mike You
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: seeno Carl Ever broke up?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: No.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, think about the list of Hall of famers
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: that never threw no hitters. No hitters are the most random,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: crazy thing ever.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: But I special I think that'll change because of how
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: guys pitch now, And maybe you don't agree with me,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: but I felt like before guys would pitch, Hey, you
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: know what, I got a two three run lead, I'm
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: going right at this guy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I'm getting through the entire game. And I feel like
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: there's guys that are what did the miss throw like
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: one hundred and four and a ninth inning? One hundred
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: and three and a ninth inning? Like there is there
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: is less of a hey, I gotta get through nine
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: and more of a I'm not letting anybody touch any
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: of my stuff the entire game. Don't touch my drum
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: set the entire game. And that's why I feel like, yes,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: it is still random. Yes, somebody has to make a
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: great play, but when you have an alley like the Miz,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: it wasn't even close.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: They weren't even close to touching him.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Fifteen strikeouts in a maddox in a complete game, that's
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: just like one through three strikes you're out.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But here's the thing with that said, guys don't
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: go nine innings anymore. So it's hard for guys to
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: get perfect games and no hitters because nobody goes nine
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: innings anymore. Everyone's out there here's my best stuff for
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: five innings, and then we'll we'll have to combine no
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: hitter like we had with the Astros.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I feel like it was worse like five years ago.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: It's gotten a little bit better just with the aces
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: getting some but it has.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: To be aces only because anybody that's on an ace
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: doesn't get the opportunity. No, yes, I mean remember Edward
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Jackson hitter and he threw like one hundred and forty
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: pitches against the Rays and he had like ten walks
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: in that game.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, see, I think if it's I don't know,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: name a veteran pitcher who's who's been around a while
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and might be you know, towards the end. Name Miles
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Micheliss I know he. I thought he was the opener
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the other day. If if he's pitching and he's at
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: one fifteen heading into the ninth, oh, they're letting him.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He's going it's a problem.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Is excuse me, no offense to Miles.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: He pitched twelve yesterday, but he didn't he was he
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: used an opener. I know, I know. So, So your
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: point is you have to be an ace that they
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: trust that you can get through lineup a third time through.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Right, there's like five of those right now that guys.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: People will let school don't have.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: No hitter, and then you have to be economical with so,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: like krat said, if you're more strikeout reliant, you have
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to be economical with that's everybody.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Jeez, let's everybody now excuse me, wow.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: But miz is economical with his kids.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: The other day.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: He's getting it right because.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: It's like starting to figure it out.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: You don't need to dance. They can't touch you most
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of the time. You tip your cap if they touch you.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Right now, I mean, he completely owned the Phillies the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: other night. Fifteen strikeouts, one hit, He was almost there.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: One hit. He allowed one hit in that game. Otherwise
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that would have been a no no that we talk
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: about hard to get a no no. And Kivan booted
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the ball for Yamamoto the other day. That would have
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: been the third out in the eighth, right, yep, different.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Ninth, Yeah, and then he gives up the homer.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Hm. It takes a lot. It takes a village to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: put together a no hitter, a perfect game. Hey, Seakeek's
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: hooking you up with ten percent off tickets with that
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: code territory one zero. This is a few minutes to
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: look at some games coming up this week and some
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: series two. You know what's a good one for me?
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Kratz in your backyard. I know Wheeler starts off the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: series for the Phillies against the Marlins. The Marlins are
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: ten and two in June, like they are peaking right now,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So that's a good one to hit up a ticket for.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, anytime you get to see Wheeler back
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: the way he's doing it right now. He's kind of,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say, the unsung hero, but Christopher Sanchez,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: besides his last at against the Brewers, has really just
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: taken all the all the limelight. Like Wheelers' already coming
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: back from thoracic outlet blood clots and to have the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: season that he's had, you got to get down there
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to see him pitch right now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Another one if you're in LA and I know obviously
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: tickets are always sold out to the brim, so you
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: go to seat Geek to find your seat to use
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the green and the red dots there. Green is good
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: right as bad. They show you the good deals and
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the good seats. Nick Martinez has been quietly one of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the best pitchers in baseball this year. I know it's
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: one of the lowest strikeout rates that expected dra is
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: not high. There could be some regression, but he doesn't
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: walk anybody. He gives up soft contact. This is more
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of your old school style. He's got a two four
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to three mark for a Raised team that's coming in
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: with the same number of losses now four less wins.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: But you always tell me, look a lost column forty
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: one and twenty seven. The Raiser almost as good as
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers record wise this year.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they are. But the game I'm looking at is
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Padres Cardinals because that could be a potential playoff make
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: or break series between the Padres and the Cardinals. Cardinals
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: at home, Padres have been wishy washy, I guess would
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: be a nice way to say it, especially offensively. But
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: that's a series to me that could be a playoff
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: make or break for one of those teams.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Those are wild card hopefuls, yes, and the head to
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: head matters. Cardinals have been a much better offensive team
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: than that Padres had.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Well, that's not saying much. No Crotch's high school team.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: It could At this point. Sometimes I feel like might
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: be able to hang with the.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Padres on some days because they have I can't believe
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the Padres. I can't believe them. I really can't. Like
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: you watch a game and you're like, who Gavin Sheets
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: is up? Yeah, now we're gonna get some met like
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Gavin Sheets. We're getting action from Gavin Sheets when you
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: have many Tatis, Xander Boguards, Jackson Merrill like it's a
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: it's the Gavin Sheets of Ramon Lariano show.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I just can't. I can't believe it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Well, now, no more Lariano. He's done for the year,
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: right right?
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah? So hey, Tatis said too, he's got two.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah right. He hit the first one a couple of
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, and then he had to walk off wall
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Scraper the about a week ago. Hey, uh, the code

• 16:14
  Speaker 1: And while we're talking about pitching, you mentioned Schoogle.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: They lost that game, I know, but they lost back here.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: So here's the thing though, the Tigers went into this
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: series like, oh, we got to win that. They lost
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: both games. They got rained out on Sunday.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not good. They're so six out of a
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: wild card thirteen hunder five hundred.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't until they get to five hundred. I
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: don't care if school you can only pitch every fifth day, right,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, great, he gave up two runs and
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: four two thirds. But you know what they did. They lost.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: They lost because they can't hit correct. Cleveland actually took
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: a hit too well clean that series. No, but they
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: took a hit.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Jose Ramirez out for a month and a month to
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: a month and a half now with the left hamlet
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: bone fracture. As Ken Rosenthal said on Fair Territory, this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: monk warning. This episode is brought to you by the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: hamlet bone. Many too. We'll talk about I have a theory.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I have a theory I heard yesterday why they're happening more. Yes,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: and I could be crazy, but someone tell me if
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong. On this. I heard this theory yesterday. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: forget who I talked about this at the White Sox
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: game with somebody. I forget who I was talking to
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: about it. Guys used to take batting practice, like regular
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: batting practice, you know, and you not every pitch was
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: thrown a million miles an hour. You just take your
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: batting practice, or you take your flips and you go
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: into a game. What do guys do now? All the time.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: In the hit in the cage, off.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Of what machine throwing one hundred miles an hour or
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: a traject throwing real stuff. They take hundreds of swings
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: off balls that are.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Shoot poo poo poo, poop.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Poop poop, and every swing is I gotta get to
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: it right and then so it just.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Those are gamers.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: So those are game swings. We're in the past, guys,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: did you didn't? I didn't take game swings ever. During
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the year. I took my fifteen swings at BP. I
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: took my twenty five to thirty flips here we go.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: But it wasn't game speed. It was more like get lose,
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: get the hands going, get the body going, Bubba. These
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: guys are taking hundreds of swings a day off, in
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: the off season, in the spring trainings, in the before
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the games, they are taking hundreds of swings off these
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: machines that are throwing legitimately one hundred guys go in
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and say, I'm gonna take one hundred at bats off
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: Paul schemes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: It makes sense. I don't know if gosh I will
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: tell you why it makes sense.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I guess I forget. I wish I could remember who
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: told me that, but who had that theory, because I
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: would love to give them credit, but I'm stealing it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: But I like it. Krats are sports about quality over quantity, now, right,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: If that's gonna make you better to do that, the
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: teams will take the hamlet bone fracture at some point
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: in your career if they think you're going to be
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: zero point one percent better from hitting that kind of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you know, those kind of practice swings versus what you're doing.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Not that it's improving every player, but if they feel
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: like it's improving a player, take the injury risk because
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it's just part of the game, and they'll replace him
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: for the time being.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Owners complain about losing money, but they don't figure out
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: how to stop injuries. They don't take that excuse me.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: They don't take that next step to say because I
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: got some I got some hate. When when mis went
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to the ninth inning and he threw one hundred and
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: three or one hundred and four, they were like, z Eric,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: he doesn't need to hold back. It's not about can
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: he make it to the ninth It's not about will
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: he last to the ninth. To me, guys who get
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: hurt throughout their career, if you're doing things that excuse
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: me will get you hurt, or we have an idea
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: that could get you hurt, how do you avoid those injuries? So,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: if what AJ's saying, I love theories, you know I
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: love conspiracy theories. If what AJ's saying that max intent
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: swing could be causing more stress on that hamdmate area,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: would you stop taking so many swings off the tra
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Would you stop if a max intent bullpen at ninety
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: five could cause you an injury when maybe ninety in
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: your pen would be fine, maybe eighty eight would cause
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: you to be able to figure out how to throw
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: more strikes. Would you do that? Or is the game
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: saying no, no, no, no, we got to give you
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: the best of the best all the time. Redline it.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And when you're hurt, it's totally fine. When the reality
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: is it's your career, you're not totally fine. Somebody's gonna
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: come and take your job.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean when people watch MISRASKI right now, I feel
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: like the sentiments like this is insane. I've never seen
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: anything like this. I hope it lasts. Just naturally was pitching.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Someone was pitching the other day and so was it Smoltz.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: It said on TV that you know, the whole thing
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: is when is he going to get hurt? I forget
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: when Yeah, a couple weeks a few weeks ago, he
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: was talking about schemes. Yeah it was schemes. Yeah, that's exactly.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: And it was like wow, okay, I mean, I don't know.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: He didn't mean it. No, he didn't mean it.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: He didn't mean it like that, but it just people
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: took it as people took it as like why are
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: we talking? You know? Whatever it was, it was taken
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: completely out it. I don't mean right, it wasn't. It
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: was just the way he kind of said it. People
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: were like, which, whatever. But I honestly believe that the
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: more I think about the theory with the hammy bone,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: because it's just more swings and it's more vibrations, and
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: it's just more chances of something happening on just like
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: not solid contact. And also constantly it's the same as
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: when you throw bullpen after bullpen, and every bullpen is
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: a max effort, every bullpen, every bullpen guy that comes
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: to the game, every pitch is max effort. Every starter
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: is max effort. There's never any like I'm just gonna
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: do and then when I need it, I'll jump out
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: and get it. Eventually, stuff breaks. It sucks, but stuff
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: breaks no matter who you are, how good a shavy
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: and everything is going to break at some point.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yep, I'm with you. Lastly, uh, the Tigers lost Jack Flaherty.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: He's got some ankle issue. So when Schoogle came back,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: they lose another starter just to add to the mix there.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Just wanted to get that in while we're talking about
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: all the pitching.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: And they aren't good right now. No, the next day
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: too back they lost.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna have to go on alund pretty quickly.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I know they should be able to hit that tomorrow
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: according to their GM, because tomorrow the players are going
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to be older, because isn't that what he said in
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: the offseason, like, yeah, once.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: These guys get older, they're going to get better.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: So tomorrow the Tigers offense should be better, right, isn't
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that what we heard?
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Correct?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Tomorrow foul Territory will be a better show because US
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: three will be one day older, one day wiser.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: And okay, just real quick, are they too far out
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: to get back into the division? I mean, they were
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: up fifteen and a half last year and lost.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: They're not too far out. But some of its eye
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: test and percentage chance, something's happened with a perfect storm.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Tigers fell apart, like you always said.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: So the Tigers since the second half of whatever they're
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: choke job whatever you want to call it, started last
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: year yep to this almost been almost a full year.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Now, almost exactly.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: So which team are they? Are they the good team
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: that had the fifteen game lead, or are they the
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: crappy team for the last year that's thirteen games under
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: five hundred.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Right now, they're the crappy team. It's been a year.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: It's way way too long.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: That's just fair.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they've got they've got three weeks to figure
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: it out, to clean it up. Three weeks because when
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you get to all start, it's like, all right, now
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: you got to start getting moving here because of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: trade deadline.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Who can they move Schoobl? Gosh if they trade school,
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: there'll be a riots in Detroit.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I know, but that's he's not if they're not in
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: playoff position. I know, he gone, Do.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: You try, Schoobl? Do you trade mice? Do you trade
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: you tried to trade Flairty? Do you move into your
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: hitters now?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Because it's about two controls, Google's gone that I don't know.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: That's that's what they're gonna have to do something.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: What's up? Trent Grisham? I l that hurts because he
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: had a super slow start and then he'd been playing well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: right hamstring strain for him. Remember Judges out right now,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: although Martian comes back and they've got a lot of
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: good outfield depth running right now.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is a big deal, especially with Judge out.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, what about this one? Yeah, John Carlos that back.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like you can never count on him. It sucks.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: He's Robert Orrie just just if he's good for you know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: September fifteenth, two weeks Google the name if you're not
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: a basketball fan or it's been a minute since he's
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: been a guy. But he basically would chill all season,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and then he'd pop up in the playoffs and he
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: started making six to ten and he can make threes
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: and you can't block him, and he was too old
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to do much else, and he was so freaking good.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: He was clutch. John Charlot, he can kind of be
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that guy. He can't run, he can't play anywhere close
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: to a full season, but he can hit the ball
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: harder than anyone else, and he can stand in the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: box and be a presence in the playoffs. You can
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: afford that.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Speaking of, since we have forty five seconds, should we
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: mention your Knicks winning? Yeah? So I know you're shuret
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: in your big in New York can And also I
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: know we got to go real quickly here. But did
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: the Knicks winn or did the Spurs just choke every
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: game within a double digit lead and every one every game, dude,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: a twenty nine point lead. I watched every sorry you
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: gotta win that game that one.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Yes, but the Spurs were fast star as they getting
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: a rhythm quicker. Nicks just take longer to get in
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: a rhythm. But they would eventually because.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: The kept missing shots and Darren Fox, Darren Fox, why
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: are you shooting a layup? Dude?
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Shocker? The Blue Jays and the Yankees don't love each other,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: and we love that in our sport, real rivalry. The
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: top two teams in the American LEAGUEES from last year
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: meeting up this past weekend and Jose Caballero was pissing
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: off the Blue Jays. Can you run through first off?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Just tell me? Did he do anything wrong?
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: No? Okay, no, he's playing within the rules. I love it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: He's just bothering Toronto.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: He's just pissing Toronto off because Yankees also beat him
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: two out of three, so they were a little bit like, oh,
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: what's he doing? So he's look, he looks down at
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: ten and they have to pitchclock. You have to look
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: out at eight, right, so he's at ten at ten,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: he kind of fakes him out, and the pictures are
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: getting said and they would start and they are like, oh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: you gotta wait till he looks at you. But the
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: rules are you have to eait listen. I know this.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Myce have a son playing college baseball. They have a
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: pitch clock. The rules are the same. They stand there
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: in the box and the pictures that way, and they
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: look at the clock like this, and they stand there
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: and then when it hits nine, they go. And the
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: pitchers out there just waiting for twenty seconds or whatever,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: just standing there right. The hitters literally like this, and
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: they were like this. They're not even looking at the picture.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: They're literally looking at the clock and then they here
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: we go. So I get it. It's it's the games
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: and ship pitchers were doing games with ship early. Surezer
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: was trying all kinds of stuff. Remember, guys are trying
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: all kinds of his pictures. He's playing the game the
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: way the rules are rutten.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Should the rules be changed or it's fine, no, it
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: should be changing.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: The question I'm the hobe why but why why would
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: we change the rules?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Because because John Schneider and the Blue Jays are mad
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: about it, Like that's like I know we're gonna go
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: through it, and I don't want to jump ahead. But
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: like John Schneider said, there's a lot of major league
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: players in this league, there seems to be one guy
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: that has an issue with it. Was he talking about
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, am I reading like? Am I reading that incorrectly?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Like Why does he have an issue with it? He
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: is doing everything that he can, Like, are you gonna
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: tell a picture? Hey, he can't throw at four seconds,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Why well, he has to either wait till five. He
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: has to do it at five, or he has to
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: wait till two seconds, Like there's a there's no rule.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: He is well within the rule. He's gaming the system
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: and like to get mad about it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: Just shows that it.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Jose cabiiro is swimming laps in Blue Jay's heads, like, yes,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: it might be tough to do, but you have to
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: be like you do not have to look at him,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: you do not have to make eye contact. And the
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: fact that he can like deak him out. The pitcher
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: gets a warning. So if he does it again, it's
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: a ball like that is a that is great gamesmanship.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: It's like a quarterback.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Oh well, you can't wait to hike it till it
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: says one second. What No, I'm gonna hike it at
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: three seconds. I'm gonna hike it at one. Sometimes I'm
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: gonna hike it right away at ten seconds on the
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: game clock. It's all the same thing.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: It's a good call. There's pump fakes in every sport.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Basically that has a clock. Yeah, basketball, of course, but
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: if you don't like it, I mean the football, they
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: run the spread thing where they get into a formation,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the defense does it, and then they're like.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Oh maha, green eightpen and then then change the play
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: and the defense end has to go all run around
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: and change everything. All he's doing is he's looking down
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: and then he kind of looks like this, but then
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: he never really fully looks up, and they kept falling
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: for it. Put in the scouting report right eight seconds,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: be ready, wait till there's eight seconds. If you know Jose,
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: it's like Jacoby Elsberry was known for getting catcher's interferences.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: You know we did when he came up, We backed up.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: You know what he did. You know what you do
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: with kaby Erero is a pitcher. You look at the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: clock and when it says eight seconds, I'm ready to go.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Because you don't got to be ready till there's eight seconds.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: So if he's ready at fifteen, make him stand there,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: he said, especially if they already us this time out,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: make him stand there.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can cat and mouse it right back at
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: right back at him, but.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: You got to be prepared for it. Now, it's a thing,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: be prepared for it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: It's in the scouting report. Yes, don't get set and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: deal until eight seconds. Yeah, right, wouldn't you tell your
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: picture that, Hey, for this guy, don't even think about ten.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: It's eight. Yes, And hey, he might have won a
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: ready because now he's got you thinking about the pitch
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: clock more than you want. But that's part of his game. Yeah,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: he's a fun play a man flee. That's his identity.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: He's he's fun. We had a long talk about him
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: on Friday because they were starting to sneak Volpian more
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: for playing time and Voby's not hitting. He should not
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: lose any pt. We had a long thing. A lot
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of Yankee fans actually wrote in and said thank you
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: for pointing that out because it's weird. But he's special.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I think he gives the Yankees a lot of bite.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: This is what you want right shield spaces. He plays
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: a good defense, he can swing in a little bit,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: switch hitter right, pissing off the other team, and the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yankees pounced on him in the ninth to win the series.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: My issue is why did the umpire and we haven't
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: heard exactly what the umpire were saying. Why does the
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: umpire feel like he needs to get in there and
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: tell them, like, tell him, hey, he's got a he's delaying.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: He's intentionally delaying because didn't they make an announcement during
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the game. The batter was something about intentionally delaying. Why
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: does he need to get in there on that? What
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: was the intention of delay?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: He was doing the rules, he warned him, and I'm like,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: for warned. What's there's not a rule like that? I
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: bet you MLB called that whatever? The mpoys after the game,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: whoever the mpoys and said, hey, that's not a thing.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Unless we're missing something, that's not a thing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: And the other thing too about Cabairo, Like everybody's like
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: whether you think Cabrieiro is helping the Yankees or not.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: He's not a star, and that's okay. People who are
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: not stars, people who are not year in and year
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: out all stars have to figure out ways to be
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: better than the opponent that's out there. And that's what
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: he's been doing this year. He steals bases, he plays
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: good defense. Why they're not playing him? I won't rehash
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: your Friday conversation, but he's consistently a below average OPS
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: plus batter that adds a ridiculous amount of stolen bases
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: as a different element that he has added. When they
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: first instituted the one time out but no but no pitchclock,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: he would take the longest time to get back in
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: the box and it was irritating the other team. What
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: if a pitch is just a little bit off because
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you're irritated the other pitcher. Now, all of a sudden,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: an average hitter becomes an above average hitter, or your
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: team who needs a break somewhere becomes you know, a
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: team that can get that break. I mean, this is
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: a guy that had forty nine stolen bases one year.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: He's got fifteen or rated this year. He's got a
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: good shot at thirty bags if he gets his PT
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: And like, you gotta be able to you gotta be
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: able to work around the edges because everybody's doing that
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: throughout the game. And that's how average players stay in
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: And he wants to play every day. And he hadn't
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: really gotten that full time shot until right now with
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: the Yanks, right even with the Rays, like he was
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: all over the round.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but by the way, you know who was really
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: good at doing this? You me all the time doing
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: what annoying the crap out of pitchers or another team.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: It was great. They started yelling at me. I'm like,
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: we got him, he got him, Like if I did,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: if I did tell them, they'd be like, we got him,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: got that guy.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I told this story on the show before. I played
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: with a guy who squared the bunt. When I was
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: playing with the Blue Jays, AJ was behind a dish.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: AJ started yelling at him for button and this dude
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: was hot at the time. He was hot, a triple
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: A big league fringe player. Young guy struck out comes back.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: To doug Out.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: He's like, he's like, why was AJ yelling at me?
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I was like, he's yelling at you to try to
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: get in your head. And I was like, what happened?
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: He goes well. I kind of was a little hesitant.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: On the next pit he won. He won because you
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: allowed the little things. AJ did nothing wrong. There's no
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: there's no time where AJ or or Cabayio ever has
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: to be like, oh okay, guys here, let me hug
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: you and then we'll just go out and you throw
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: a baseball at me and I'll tr to hit it. No,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: like it's all within the game. It's not even close
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: to even like a fringe. That's a little, that's a little,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: that's bush league. Stop, No, it's not. The game is
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: And almost everyone plays a sport at some point in
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: life and experiences and in your head.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: People do stiff stuff all the time. And I people, anybody,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: anybody that plays a sport long enough, there'll be a
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: moment in their career, whatever level you want to play
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: where something happens and you've been the rules a little bit.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: Like let's say you play tennis and the balls out
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: and but you're like, I really need this point you
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: call out or basketball that they're commercial the basketball commercial
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: about sportsmanship where the ball goes off the kid. He's like,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: mister ref nos off me giving like, no, yeah, there's
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: so many things at the reps job, bro, There's so
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: many things that happen in sports that I don't know
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: that happened. There's I could tell so many stories of
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: guys saying stuff to me or me saying stuff to
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: God like and they're just trying to get you a
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: little bit off your game enough to where it affects you.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: I remember here, I'll tell Jose Bautista, right who I know,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: and crauch, you played with him. He accused me one
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: time of throwing dirt on his shoes and he couldn't
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: hit because I was throwing dirt. He'd come up to
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: hit and I throw dirt on it. I'm like, maybe
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: I did that, but I'm like, if me, me throwing
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: a piece of dirt on your shoes keeps you from
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: going deep, then I won. Yep. I'll take that all
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: day long.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, that was his kryptonite.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he said. He said that. He told we have
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of mutual friends. He lives in Florida, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I see him. He's like, dude, you used to throw
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: dirt on my shoes. Dirt on your shoes. He's like, yeah,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: he used to make me so mad. I'm like, well,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: then I won. If I could pick up a little
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: pebble and throw a piece of dirt on your shoes
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: and it wins, then I win, because then you can't hit,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: and your whole game is hitting and.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: A game that is played in dirt.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, dirt bothered exactly. Dirty. Was so mad because
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: he said I threw dirt on his shoes.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Epic.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I was like, WHOA, let's and now you're probably thinking, Man,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: if that's all it would have taken, I know, what
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: did he have?
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Like one hundred and fifty homers in two seasons?
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I would have done. I'd have thrown it
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: in your face. I would have gone to the like
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: to not hit a homer for sure.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was like, Uh, we used to have, you know,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: meetings with pictures because he had the big leg kick.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: You'd slidestep on him and the next one you got
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: big leg kick and you'd rush him and you change.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: So we'd all tell our starters like, hey, Batista comes up,
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: throw out of the stretch, like with no one on base. Yes,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: because he makes up your times, because he would tie
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: it off the picture and he would get him and
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: then he would start getting mad about it. And then
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: I threw dirt on his shoes and gosh, and I
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: was terrible. Meanwhile, Edwin's on the back like this the
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: whole time, Eddie.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, cavit is different. I like the way that he
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: plays ball, and I think many do too. And he's
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: resonated with Yankee fans and many baseball fans. Support for

• 38:07
  Speaker 1: called one eight hundred gambler Orioles Padres Saturday night, which
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: was a distracting evening. There was an NBA Finals moment
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: for a team that hadn't won in a billion years.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: That's happened in our sport, and it overtakes the sport.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But there was beef between the Orioles and the Padres.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Bogarts hit in the head, Machado was buzzed right, So
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: then they went after the Orioles best player, Gunner Henderson
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: missed twice and then eventually got to him in the
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: ninth You could almost seek under like third time, like
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: third try. I think he was saying when they got
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: to him, but I want to start here that keep
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: this up for a moment. Some people in the social
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: media sphere were losing their mind aj because Alburnaz wasn't
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: just attacking the other side. I'll skip, I'll read the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: whole quote. It's worth it. So on the ninth inning,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: hit by pitch ejections blah blah blah. Trey hit Bogarts Gibson,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: the rookie in the head. Their doug out didn't like
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: it at all. This is Craig Roburna speaking quote. Obviously,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: it definitely wasn't intentional. It was a two scene that
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: slipped out of his hand. I get there. Why they're
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: mad the ball hit him in the head and he
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: had to come out of the game. I'm not saying
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the ball to Gunner was on purpose, but it was
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: done the right way and that's why there was no
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: gripes from us, and Gunner was fine with it and
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: just took it to first base. Some people were like,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: you got a back your player.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: He did. He did right with what he just said.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Right there, he back to this player. You know why
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: back to this player?
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Because he said, you know what, it's over with now,
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: it's squad. This is what happened when players can handle
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: their own business. Listen, did boguards get hit on purpose?
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think so at all. I think it was
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: a mistake. But I'll tell you this as a former player,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: and there's a guy who is thrown out a lot.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: There were times where people like I'm gonna hit a guy.
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: I'm like, nah, we're okay. Then there are times like
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: you know what, go get a guy okay, and they
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: knew and guy usually knew it was coming. You hit
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: him in the leg, or they're down in here the
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: waste area, they're okay. They go to first like, okay,
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: I understand you got hit. I got hit you. I
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: remember we played the Cup one time, right, Paul and
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Erica got hit in the face. Boom, he hits a
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: home run, is next to bat, and then everyone's like, oh.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Paul's like, no, we're good. I even discore, right he
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: did it. I think the Twins Carl Bovano hit him
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: the face. Next to boat he hit a home run too,
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: so it's his call. He's more like, Paul, you want
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I drove up to palm and be like you want someone.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, I'm good, I hit I got a
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: home run. Right. But Dander Bogarts, who's you know, whether
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: you think he's good or bad, He's a leader on
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: this Padres team. He gets hit in the head, the
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Padres are gonna be pissed. I'm sorry. So they're gonna
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: try and hit somebody, and the fact that they did it.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: They did it right. They hit Gunner and they should
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: have hit him the first time. I hate when you
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: miss and you get a second shot. That's the only
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: thing I didn't like about that three true, I didn't
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: like him that part. But you know what, good for Gunner,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: good for Craig Alburn, as were saying, you know what,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: just go he went to first the accept it and
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: now it's squashed. It's it's over and done with. When
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: it lingers and when guys are like, oh, the padres
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: are pull craft because they did no, you know what,
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: it's squashed. Now the manager handled it right, Gunner handled
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: it right. Everyone handled it right.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Just dander Okay, Yeah, the Orioles clubhouse knows Kratz like
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: the Craig Alburn has been around the game a while.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: He knows the pulse. I know he's a new manager,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: but he knows the pulse of the players, going, Hey,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: our rookie couldn't control himself on a couple pitches there,
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: and we know that they're going to come after us.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: They're not going to change like the commandments of the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: sport overnight. So he's like, yep, this is what happened,
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: and now it's done. Thank you. We don't need Gunnar
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: Henderson getting hurt. We're a fringe playoff team.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: We could I mean, yeah, you could have sat there
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: and gone, well, you know he threw twice at him
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: and then the third one in the ninth inning with
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: two outs like that's when that's when he got him.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: But that he could have said that, but Craig squashed it.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Craig squashed it. The umpires. I have to give credit
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: to the empires because there's times when somebody gets hitting
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: the head, people are chirping back and forth, back and forth.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: The umpires are like, oh, well, this is my chance
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: to step in and warn everybody. No, you don't need
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: to step in and warn anybody like you need to
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: let the team handle it at the time. If the
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: pot they're super pissed about it, it's the first batter next inning.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Rarely does that happen. You go after one of the
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: guys that will make sure that Craig Albernaz thinks twice
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: about who they put in a game. Trey Gibson thinks
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: twice about going inside. That's how you handle both sides
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: of this coin. And I thought everybody handled it very professionally,
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: including the umpires.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Mm hmm. I think sometimes people just want the theatrics
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of the manager.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: Well, it's easy behind the screen. It's also easy behind
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: the screen and a keyboard and in a username to
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: say whatever you want to say, right so, but until
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: you I mean, I've been in this situation. I played
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: for guys that were all about throwing at guys, have
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: been played for guys that didn't want to hit anybody, right,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: And it's just it's just a feeling.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: It's just a feeling. I'll just say, what were the
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: fans saying? What were they pissed about? Padres fans were
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: pissed that the that they shouldn't have gotten hit like
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: it was not out.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: It's not Padres fans. There's two. I mean, if I'm
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: gonna pinpoint a fan base, it would be Orioles fans, right,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: not not all, but some thinking two things. One, you
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: had your shot like AJ mentioned, Then you had your
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: shot again. Then in the ninth you take another shot,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: like you get your shot, you clearly went after him,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: you missed, then you missed again. Then they don't like
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: that Alburnaz doesn't attack them post game. That's a set
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: of fans that I saw online that we're pissed, which
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like I understand where they're coming from. And
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: that's why it's worth bringing up on the show to
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: be like, hey, players are fine with it, so it
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: should be over. Now. These teams don't play each other.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Much, but it was squashed by the players and the
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: manager and listen, I mean I played it a little
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: bit earlier era where guys handled it themselves. You do it,
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: you know Tony Russa famously you hit war guy will
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: hit three of yours, right, Well, that's what at leads
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: the fights. I'm not saying everyone needs a fight, but
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: there are times where if someone gets hit, guess what
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: someone else, someone on their team music to get hit.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: It sends a message that hey, I got I got
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: your back in fine. There was also times I got hit,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: plenty of times I got hit, and the guys will
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: be like, I'll be like, no, I kind of did
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: some stupid I kind of deserve that one. I'll just
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: go to first.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Dirt threw dirt Jatista. Yeah, so ari A Dickey hit you.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was his best chance against me.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're here and we're running through a bunch of
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: injuries real quick before we get to Kurt ho So
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a few here. Vin ep we mentioned
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: as the ham at bone, just like Jose Ramirez. Tough
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: season so far for him. He's going to miss four
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: to six weeks for a Royal team that's one of
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the worst in baseball. They're worst, I think than the
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: Tigers right now. I think it's pretty Angels Tigers. Yeah there,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: that's the bottom of the American League right now. So
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: it hurts when you don't have him, did you see?
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: And then a couple of arm injuries. Spencer Strider hits
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: the shelf again right elbow inflammation. They came out this morning.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: At least I didn't get to read the report, but
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: it's not surgery at least for now. But we don't.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: We got to figure out what's going on there.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: He just hasn't been the same since he had Tommy
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: John's in a while.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was fun to watch when he was boring Quadzilla,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: So hopefully he's okay. And then one more because we
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: harped on this one pretty strongly. And again I'm not
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: saying this is the reason why he got hurt, but
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: Chase Dolander was flying through and then the Rockies decided
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: to make him a bulk pitcher, and then he coincidentally
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: or not went down soon after that with the torn UCL.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: He's probably done for the year. Man, he was off
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to a six start, and you're waiting for someone with
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: the Rockies to actually be that good.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: You know, he was, he was. He looked like he
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: could be the guy. Yep. But yeah, I mean coincident
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: or not, I don't know, but yes, And just how
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: happened as soon as they started using open or for him,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: he got hurt. Not the same warm up routine, not
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: the same everything. I talked to a kid on my
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: son's summer ball team, and it was great to hear
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: this kid. He he goes to U mass and he's
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: a psychology major, but he hasn't with the day he's
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: a starting pitcher, the day he pitches, he has it
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: like minute by minute mapped out. Now imagine having imagined
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: the big league level. I remember I had pretty much
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: from about six o'clock on my day was pretty much
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: mapped out, kind of earlier than that, but like the times,
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: what time I'd go out to stretch, what time I'd
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: start with the pitcher would start throwing, what time the
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: game started, you know, all that stuff. When I had
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: to drink my pregame drink, and when I had to
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: use the bathroom and all that was kind of pretty
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: much mapped out. Now, imagine being a starting pitcher and
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: having every minute of your day mapped out pretty much,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, like, oh, by the way,
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: you can't long toss for that eight minutes that you
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: normally and then you have to, oh, by the way,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: you're pitching the third inning.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Thing.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, It's just not it's people making decisions
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: that have never been out there and have never been
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: that guy.
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's what it is.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: And I always say this, If I'm good enough to
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: face the team a guy the second time through the order,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: why am I not good enough to face on the
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: first time? So this isn't you do you believe in
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: me enough to give me five or six innings in
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: the the game? Why can't I start the game and
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: face them the first time up?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: This is also your your potential ace, like your number
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: one starter stuff wise, for sure, better than back scores
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: during break. So we'll keep it snappy, but there were
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: a lot of runs scored in Las Vegas, especially in
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: the first and the last game against the A's. Also,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Bob knightingalll put this out that they don't think they're
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: gonna have any trouble recruiting. I mean, if they have
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: the money, I don't think so either. I mean, that
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: should be an easy answer, right, guys will go play there,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: especially hitters.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: You gotta see, well they spend the money though, right,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: If you get offered one hundred mili there or somewhere else, you'll.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Well, there's no stay tax in Nevada, which is nice. Also,
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Chris, did you play in Vegas in
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: tripa A. No. So I got to go there ninety eight,
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: ninety three years. I got to go there, and people
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: were like, oh man, it's such a home field advantage
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: because everyone on the road is going out all the time.
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: What was funny is the home players were out with us. Yes,
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: they got to do it for weeks at a time.
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: We were there for three days, right, we didn't sleep
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: for three days. We were like, oh, we'll be fine.
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: They did that for a week straight. Now, not everyone
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: does that. I mean, this was obviously twenty five plus
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: years ago. But it wasn't the home field advantage. People
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: thought it was. Now football, they come in for one day,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: they're in and out. Hockey they've been pretty good. But baseball,
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, will people show up. I
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: think they will, but I don't know. It's gonna be
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: interesting to see how easy it is to get people
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: to go there.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if they spend guys will go. Also, so a
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: couple quick notes here. They gave up a combined forty
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: two hits and thirty eight runs in the first and
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: last games of this six game homestand because they lost
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: to the Rockies twenty three to nine on Sunday giving
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: up six home runs. Bob Night and Galet with some
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: stats there, and then Mike Petrillo's tweet's good too, he said,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: important fact, this is important. Triple A parks three thy
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: twelve feet of elevation. The new ballpark is going to
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: be two thousand and one thirty three, so that is
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: a big difference.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: And inside and inside and human humidity.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: That park is not built for major league hitters. This
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: one will be built for major league hitters.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Again, I played in Triple A Las Vegas. If the
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: wind was blown out. It was a joke. If the
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: wind was blown in, you couldn't hit it out of there.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: That's the reason why they used to have the home
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: run derby at Cashman Field in Las Vegas because the
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: ball flew out of there. Remember they used to have
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: that home run derby. They had like all those big
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: dudes hitting bombs for that one time.
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's fun.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: They did it for years. Well you know why because
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: in Vegas the Paul flew. But you're inside, they're gonna
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: make it. They're gonna make it. And by the way,
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: they have to be inside because if you've been to
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: Vegas in the summer, Oh my gosh, the only place
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: I've ever been winded out of a game too, by.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: The way, oh really.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: Winded out, not bringing out wind. The wind was blown
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: too hard and they said you can't play the game.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Wind is thirty two miles per hour, where they're like,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: you can't play. Hey, we got an update on Spencer Strider.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: It's not good. So mri I didn't show any ligament damage,
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: just inflammation. There's not concerns about him needing surgery, but
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: he's going to be shut down for four weeks and
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: then he'll get in MRI again for a follow up.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: So if the scan's clear, then he can begin a
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: throwing progression. So now we're looking at All Star break
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: when they would check them out and then you're throwing progression.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: So you're looking at somewhere deep into August September.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: You're looking. You're not touching.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Well, if he gets clear July fifteenth or a little
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: before that, wait eight to ten weeks from now.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Four weeks and it's four to six weeks for him
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: to be better. So that's your September.
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Or deep in August. But yes, same thing. Yeah, late
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: late in the season. Still not nothing, but it's a trade.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: We mentioned Sandy ol Contre and or other.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: I don't know if the Bland, I don't know if
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: the Marlin will do that. But there's division. See, let's see, Alex.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Everything's been going Rosie for you this year, winning games,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: everyone's been good. Now now it's time to we'll see.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: He's a mover.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: He is a he does do something big, guys, they're
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna acquire a starter. They'll push to acquire
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: a starter. I mean that would be the ultimate Braves
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: fans would lose their minds. They got schoogle. But this sucks.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Like we mentioned earlier, because it was earlier in the
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: show that we talked about Strider. This hasn't been the.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: Same, hasn't since he got his elbow.
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: No, most guys come back. We're so used to it now.
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: And some guys don't. Don't know. It's not one hundred percent.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: Though, No, it's not. It's gotten so good. The surgery
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: is so routine these days that you're used to guys
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: coming back and you forget who had it. Remember we
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: used to know, like, oh, he's a Tommy John guy.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: We don't even know. It's not even remember anymore. We'll
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, did he have two? Is he a
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: double TJ guy?
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Two or three? Now some guys have Yeah. Now that
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: extension Eddie signed that. Some people were like, why would
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: he ever do that with those quads? Why would you
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: ever sign an extension?
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: You just never know.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I was there covering the team. I remember I was
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: there talking to Team Brass about it and they were like, Hey,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: we mostly do this with position players. This is the
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: picture we want to do it with. And when you
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: get to the end of that deal, it'll be interesting
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: to see. I mean, it's not huge money in baseball terms,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: but you guys are nailing it on the head. And
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: you're a young player and you're a pitcher.
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Pitcher especially that gets.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: Thrown in front of you. It doesn't get thrown in
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: front of you as much as a position player. Hey,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: first ballot update for All Star voting voting on the
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: starters the DHS, Shoho Tani and Jordon Alvarez have the
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: most votes. Jordon's just stupid good when he's playing. I mean,
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: he's gonna single handedly keep the Astros in the race
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: this year for a wild card in the American League.
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe Dodgers have four leaders, Braves have three. So get
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: ready for the Dodgers and Braves against the American League
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: in mid July. To start the game, fast record all
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: been catching all bees at second Acuny in the outfield.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Show Hey at d H Freddy at first Monthy at third,
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Piehus in the outfield, and then you fillally.
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess, I guess Cony of being hurt
