Transcript
- 0:04[SPEAKER_01]: What you are listening to now is the central Indian sport.
- 0:43[SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to the central Indiana Sports Report with your host, Greg Mendel's.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_01]: thoughts on the way the All-Star game ended bull.
- 1:17[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to be the crotchety old guy, but I have to say after the American League tied it in the night inning, the announcers weren't ready, and I was not ready for the home rent derby that I intentionally missed the night before.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
- 1:35[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly right, Paul.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_01]: It was something.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_02]: guess this might be the one scenario, which I've never been a fan of the ghost on a rule, but it's the all star game.
- 1:50[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe you do that.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_02]: I don't, I, I'm just not a fan of the home-run diary.
- 1:55[SPEAKER_02]: They kind of end it.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, look guys, have they pictured designated for the tenth inning?
- 2:02[SPEAKER_01]: Have a picture designated for the eleventh inning?
- 2:05[SPEAKER_01]: Have a picture designated for the twelfth inning?
- 2:07[SPEAKER_01]: And if there's a tie after twelve innings, then maybe we do a home run derby.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm not innings.
- 2:14[SPEAKER_01]: What in the world?
- 2:16[SPEAKER_01]: Let's figure out a better solution than this.
- 2:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm kind of with you there.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_02]: Now, Granite, I mean, cows forever kind of, it's nice that the National League kind of had him in the game.
- 2:29[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 2:30[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_02]: That is the one rule that did not like them.
- 2:33[SPEAKER_02]: You should be able to have whoever the heck you want.
- 2:39[SPEAKER_02]: Now, the rumor is that.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like Aaron Judge and those guys were had already left pretty much so that I guess that's kind of you wouldn't have really had Aaron Judges versus O'Connie.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_01]: The whole thing Paul signifies that they just don't care about this game anymore, right?
- 3:00[SPEAKER_01]: Bingo.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_01]: By take away was that none of the players, nobody really cares about this game anymore.
- 3:08[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, by far, the most important all-star game of any sport.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_01]: It's no longer the case anymore.
- 3:17[SPEAKER_03]: It has devolved into the football and hockey and basketball.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_03]: Correct.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_01]: I think that one's a debatory.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_02]: I still think it's as far as it's fallen.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_02]: I still think it's up there with one of the better.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_02]: All one of it's not the best.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_02]: All the best.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_01]: And that's all the same.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_02]: We didn't know it's not with how far the all star games and all cross-major sports have just fallen off a cliff.
- 3:55[SPEAKER_01]: That was it was kind of sad after all the years of great all star games that really mattered in my childhood to watch a game and like that.
- 4:05[SPEAKER_01]: It was kind of cool.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_01]: In a way I guess watching Kyle's former do what he did was pretty cool.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_01]: In a way, well, I just didn't like it at all.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_01]: I was not a fan.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_02]: I was always why I love the MLB all-star game, even as a kid growing up.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I can't remember exactly the year they took it out.
- 4:27[SPEAKER_02]: Could go back and look at it.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_02]: But the winner got home secret or whatever it took to try to make recordings of that.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_02]: How about to just use the matter?
- 4:39[SPEAKER_02]: Right?
- 4:40[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it matters as much in baseball, but still is like it would maybe basketball or football or something like that.
- 4:47[SPEAKER_02]: But at least it meant something and you're playing for something.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_01]: And now it's just a... Paul, they were always playing for something.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_01]: They were always playing for which league was better.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: It really meant something when you were... They didn't need a home field.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't need anything like that.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_01]: The game just meant something.
- 5:07[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't understand.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_01]: how they let it get to this.
- 5:12[SPEAKER_03]: I guess it was the one year where they declared the the tie, which makes this the second worst all-star game in my opinion, because not only did they end in a tie, but then it ushered in the we don't care about home field advantage or any other stakes.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_02]: What killed it for me is where you're getting angry and if I get teams aren't
- 5:39[SPEAKER_02]: kind of looking like, oh, yeah, well, let's rest this guy.
- 5:41[SPEAKER_02]: So he gets to pitch in the old start game.
- 5:44[SPEAKER_02]: It's you're getting down to you have your original roster.
- 5:48[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's like.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_02]: half of its change because of replacements, guys, I guess not choosing to play or opting out or things like that, or they are battling it, battling an injury or something like that.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_02]: You have your roster and then to half of its thrown out the window with replacements.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_02]: and third and fourth replacement.
- 6:14[SPEAKER_02]: It's kind of you really don't get to see the true stars of the game or at least all of them.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe it's just us.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we're just funny studies.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: People seem to like it.
- 6:29[SPEAKER_02]: I will say as far as as far as baseball goes, I am even though I'm young and I am very much.
- 6:37[SPEAKER_02]: I believe have like old and old school mentality when it comes to baseball.
- 6:41[SPEAKER_02]: It's tough.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_01]: It's an old school game.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_02]: It's working for so long.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_02]: And now we're just trying to change it left and right.
- 6:52[SPEAKER_02]: And it's really not that exciting anymore.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about second half of the season story lines.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_01]: And before the podcast began, we were looking at the Brewers resume.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_01]: Cody, what did you find?
- 7:09[SPEAKER_02]: Um, the fact that they are not the fact that they've won eleven straight, but what do we say?
- 7:19[SPEAKER_02]: Thirty five and twelve.
- 7:29[SPEAKER_02]: It's remarkable what they're doing.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_02]: You take a look at.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_02]: Salt or not only post all start break, but what they're doing beforehand.
- 7:40[SPEAKER_02]: Six of those eleven wins are against the Dodgers.
- 7:45[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like they're not beating up on correct.
- 7:49[SPEAKER_02]: They're not beating up on like the A's, the Rockies, the Blue Life.
- 7:54[SPEAKER_02]: They are doing this again now three of them against the national shirt and then they beat one Monday night.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_02]: They beat the Mariners, but it's like it's when you sweep the Dodgers twice.
- 8:08[SPEAKER_02]: You're doing in a span of two, two and a half weeks.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_02]: You're doing something right.
- 8:15[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care who it's against if you're thirty five, well.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_02]: And that's, I think, that's the bigger picture is.
- 8:22[SPEAKER_01]: And Paul, the cubs really haven't done anything to lose the division lead.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_01]: They've been playing pretty well, too.
- 8:28[SPEAKER_03]: No, they have to be feeling the deja vu from last year with the brewer's surprising people.
- 8:35[SPEAKER_03]: And this woodruff coming back of the ways come back is amazing pitching is so hard.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_03]: And some of these guys, it's just, they come back and you think, well, that's going to take a while, but boom.
- 8:50[SPEAKER_01]: Because a lot of pitching is smart.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_01]: And if you know how to pitch, you know how to pitch.
- 8:55[SPEAKER_01]: The guys who depend on power, that's going to come and go.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_01]: The guys who can do really know how to pitch.
- 9:03[SPEAKER_01]: They're always going to have it.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_03]: It means, well, Justin Verlander is O and eight.
- 9:12[SPEAKER_02]: Tyler retired, Justin.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_03]: Did you see the Royals are, is it the Royals?
- 9:19[SPEAKER_03]: I think it is, yes, bringing Rich Hill in to pitch four to five year old Rich Hill.
- 9:24[SPEAKER_03]: Almost playing.
- 9:26[SPEAKER_03]: That shows you how pitching is in demand.
- 9:31[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm using the joke that he just wanted to tie Edwin Jackson's record of playing for his fourteenth ML major league baseball team.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_03]: Is that how many?
- 9:42[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, he has been with net.
- 9:45[SPEAKER_02]: If when he almost went, he got called up.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_02]: He has now been on fourteen major league teams in his crew, tying Edwin Jackson for the most teams played for in baseball history.
- 9:58[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
- 9:59[SPEAKER_01]: And Paul, your blue jays.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, no to that.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_03]: If it weren't for the bros, I guess the right jays would be the story.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we've
- 10:09[SPEAKER_03]: I've been even when the Yankees were seven games up.
- 10:12[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, I thought the race would be with them too, but yeah, that's going to be an interesting division, but it looks like the Blue Jays would be definite favorites right now.
- 10:23[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying we need to bring back Will because he was dead wrong on that prediction.
- 10:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he was.
- 10:29[SPEAKER_01]: Well, bring back Will next week.
- 10:31[SPEAKER_01]: He said that was over.
- 10:33[SPEAKER_01]: He said that division was over and I agree with him, by the way.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I was kind of in agreement, too.
- 10:39[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't see Toronto kind of.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't like that.
- 10:44[SPEAKER_01]: Make it.
- 10:45[SPEAKER_02]: No, I really didn't.
- 10:48[SPEAKER_01]: The rent, the Yankees still have an eighty of scout scored the Blue Jays by eighty runs this year in differential.
- 10:56[SPEAKER_01]: So it seems like the Yankees to me are still the better team, but the Blue Jays lately have been proving me wrong.
- 11:04[SPEAKER_01]: And that offense.
- 11:06[SPEAKER_03]: They can hit the ball, can't they?
- 11:08[SPEAKER_03]: They can hit the ball.
- 11:09[SPEAKER_02]: They can hit the crap out of the ball.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what George Springer has been doing as of late, he had that run.
- 11:17[SPEAKER_02]: Think it was right, but yeah, it was definitely right before the All-Star Warick, or he had like, oh, God, I can't even remember.
- 11:25[SPEAKER_02]: But out of this, I might have had a two or three home run game, another two home run game.
- 11:29[SPEAKER_02]: The next day, it was just, I don't think the kid ages, or I don't think he ages hardly at all.
- 11:35[SPEAKER_02]: mean, gladies, he doesn't have the power numbers aren't there, but when he's heading to any on the year, which that's a very much improvement for him.
- 11:49[SPEAKER_02]: He's always been the thirty home run hunter to be.
- 11:52[SPEAKER_02]: I guy, but he's kind of typically been, I think, in the to fifty range.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_02]: And now he's starting to, I mean, Boba shit is starting to show what he can do, too.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_02]: When you got a line up like that, it's going to be pretty, I mean, Alejandro Kirk, who is probably the shortest catcher on a major league baseball.
- 12:13[SPEAKER_02]: It stands a, oh, let's see here.
- 12:16[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm as tall as he is.
- 12:19[SPEAKER_02]: at five, eight, but when he's been three, oh, nine.
- 12:23[SPEAKER_01]: My driver's license that I'm as tall as he is.
- 12:25[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's it.
- 12:30[SPEAKER_03]: I've seen many situations where that's just the guy you'd want to have.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_03]: Uh-huh.
- 12:36[SPEAKER_03]: The blue jays have the ability to turn the merciless east into the same race as the central and the west.
- 12:46[SPEAKER_03]: Like we might not have any division runs in September.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_03]: Congratulations will be in the national league, maybe.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_01]: But every team for all the way down to Minnesota and the standings is in the wild card race and heck, the Orioles might be in it too.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_01]: and the wild card race at this point, early eight and a half back.
- 13:08[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of things.
- 13:10[SPEAKER_01]: But they've been playing awfully well.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_02]: They have turned it around.
- 13:13[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it says, God awful was they started the year.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, credit to the, I mean, you're still, four and fifty five on the year, but you, they've seemed to figure some things out.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_02]: And it's not going to get you anywhere.
- 13:30[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think this year.
- 13:31[SPEAKER_01]: No.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_02]: It's that the young team that I'm I'm still very high on and I think they play when there's some growing pains this year probably as a young team, but that's a team that I think is going to contend for I think one day they might break through for World World Series for all the talent they got on that roster.
- 13:55[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk to the chat in that direction early season kind of made you wonder, but yeah, that division's interesting for sure.
- 14:04[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to rule out the game.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not ruling out the Yankees.
- 14:10[SPEAKER_02]: The red socks or I think might just hang around.
- 14:15[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to put money on them.
- 14:17[SPEAKER_02]: But I think it eventually comes down to Toronto at a Yankees in that division.
- 14:23[SPEAKER_02]: But Boston's going to be right there probably fighting for a wild card spot.
- 14:28[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're actually
- 14:30[SPEAKER_02]: I've got to pull it up right here.
- 14:32[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they are.
- 14:32[SPEAKER_03]: If it's starting today, they would be they would be a wildcard team.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_02]: They then Tampa is a game and a half out.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_02]: That at least could very well have.
- 14:44[SPEAKER_02]: All three wildcard spots, maybe.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_02]: If things kind of shape with the Yankees, the rays and the Red Sox and her wins a division.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_03]: So in other words, a mediocre team is definitely going to make the playoffs.
- 14:58[SPEAKER_01]: No question about that.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_01]: No question about that.
- 15:01[SPEAKER_01]: When you go to sixteenths in each league, that's going to happen.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I guess we can all appreciate the Dodgers trying to make a third interesting division race in the national league.
- 15:16[SPEAKER_01]: They have been.
- 15:18[SPEAKER_01]: But the Padres are not playing a lot.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_03]: No, I think your answer really fallen off.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
- 15:26[SPEAKER_01]: The Foggers have made up four games in the last two weeks, but they're not as good as Will had predicted either, I don't believe.
- 15:37[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, two days ago, the Cubs had the best record in all of baseball, and now the Brewers do.
- 15:43[SPEAKER_01]: Brewers have a half game lead on the Tigers for the best record in baseball.
- 15:50[SPEAKER_02]: Well, because the Tigers have played one more game.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, no, that's what they want more loss.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we need to talk about the nationally yeast for sure.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of teams that just don't want to pull away for in the division, I thought for sure the fillings were headed to a route in that division and the metzer still only half came back.
- 16:12[SPEAKER_02]: It's what frustrates me the most about this season for the break is that no team is in the
- 16:21[SPEAKER_02]: Philly's they, they've got great pitching.
- 16:24[SPEAKER_02]: They do, but that offense is just every now and then I'll show up.
- 16:30[SPEAKER_02]: But the Philly's need to be point away because the Met's aren't doing any things spectacular.
- 16:37[SPEAKER_02]: And then it's that, that's a,
- 16:39[SPEAKER_02]: It's a two team race in that division because the rest of the vision is a trophiest right now.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_02]: It's I just it pains me that both of those are the Brazer having the year they are and the fillies and meths are kind of just mediocre going along with no one's pulling away.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_03]: Did you see how the fillies won yesterday?
- 16:57[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you directed us to that by a text and
- 17:03[SPEAKER_01]: That was pretty wild.
- 17:04[SPEAKER_01]: You don't see that often.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_03]: Oh my goodness, I couldn't believe it.
- 17:07[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, it was hard even hard to fault the Boston catcher because that pitch was he hit that glove anyway.
- 17:15[SPEAKER_03]: It was quite unusual.
- 17:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for those of you who don't know, catchers interference walk off a very rarity.
- 17:23[SPEAKER_02]: hadn't happened in like almost eight years or something.
- 17:27[SPEAKER_02]: I see that.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_03]: D four years and I was shocked that in nineteen seventy one.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_03]: It happened.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_02]: Like you said Paul, you can't really the red socks catcher.
- 17:40[SPEAKER_02]: He didn't do anything wrong.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_02]: It's just by the letter of the law.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_02]: That is catchers interference even though it was on a check swing.
- 17:49[SPEAKER_02]: Correct.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_02]: And that's kind of what.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_02]: but by the letter of the law, I mean, it's catchers in our friends.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_02]: I saw the video on social media last night.
- 18:01[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh my God.
- 18:04[SPEAKER_01]: Every time I see a catchers in our parents, I think of you, Paul, on Halloween, in nineteen eighty one, I visited you in Fairfax, Virginia, and you asked me, what are the nine ways you can get on base in baseball?
- 18:19[SPEAKER_01]: And that's one of the ones that I did not come up with when I was eight years old.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I definitely had never seen it at any level.
- 18:29[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, crazy.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_03]: And there's been a lot of, there's been more this year than I can remember before.
- 18:37[SPEAKER_02]: Going back to the Phillies just for a second, they dating back to their posts or pre-elstar break.
- 18:46[SPEAKER_02]: have lost the last series of giants, lost the series to the podries, and then have lost the series to the angels.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_02]: And before just winning against threat.
- 18:59[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, they've lost three coming into this Red Sox, there's lost three straight series.
- 19:03[SPEAKER_02]: It's not playing real well.
- 19:09[SPEAKER_02]: You lose three one, four three.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_02]: to the Giants, then beat him thirteen to nothing so the offense finally shows up.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_02]: You lose four to two to the pod raise five four and you only beat him two to one.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_02]: Then the angels you lose six five and eight to two.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_02]: So it's overall that can consistency of that offense is not really just showing up.
- 19:39[SPEAKER_01]: All right, guys, before we go, we got to talk about the curating of a guy who isn't lit.
- 19:44[SPEAKER_01]: If anybody who don't know what curating is, it's how what people think of you, nationwide worldwide, how recognizable you are by the general public.
- 19:55[SPEAKER_01]: And Cal Raleigh in the last week, I've never seen a Trump so high because of his nickname.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_01]: Now, everybody in the world knows who he is, all of the sudden, after a home run derby,
- 20:08[SPEAKER_01]: because man, what a great nickname that is.
- 20:15[SPEAKER_02]: Circling back to the all star game in the home run Derby.
- 20:19[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not saying this was what happened, but there was controversy when him and Brett Rucker tied.
- 20:30[SPEAKER_02]: And then they went to the furthest distance and both had hit their furthest home run like
- 20:37[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, four hundred and whatever feet.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_02]: So they had a cow rollies went like an inch further.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_02]: They measured it out to like the nearest tenth of an inch, which that caused some people to be like, is it rigged or how did they actually measure that?
- 21:00[SPEAKER_02]: Or I was seeing people debate that on Twitter, but I'm telling you right now.
- 21:04[SPEAKER_02]: And I saw people have been debating this lesson, right?
- 21:09[SPEAKER_02]: I would take Calarolli right now over Aaron Judge Ray on BP.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_02]: That I will defend that.
- 21:16[SPEAKER_02]: I think I've said it a couple times when we've recorded.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_02]: He is.
- 21:22[SPEAKER_02]: He is having the best offensive season by a catcher we have ever seen so far.
- 21:30[SPEAKER_02]: And now the big question is, since it plays catcher, can he keep it up?
- 21:36[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's fatigue going to set in, you know, catchers always have that.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_02]: After get down to things, legs get tired, all that jazz.
- 21:46[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's tough.
- 21:48[SPEAKER_03]: Cody is so rarely wrong that I hate to point out to him that he just stepped in at theirs.
- 21:54[SPEAKER_01]: By the way, speaking of which MVP odds,
- 21:57[SPEAKER_01]: Aaron Judge is he lose money Beton on him.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_01]: Cal Raleigh is four to one and then the next odds are Jose Ramirez, seventy-five to one.
- 22:10[SPEAKER_01]: So that is a two-man line.
- 22:12[SPEAKER_02]: I would bet money on Cal Raleigh.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_03]: It is impressive as a catcher to do as well as he's doing.
- 22:19[SPEAKER_03]: In August and September he might take a big dump.
- 22:24[SPEAKER_03]: Nice.
- 22:27[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
- 22:29[SPEAKER_01]: Otami is clearly the MVP favorite even more than Judge in the AL.
- 22:35[SPEAKER_01]: But Pete Crow Armstrong making his cases in it.
- 22:39[SPEAKER_02]: It's a popularity contest and it's hard to not give it a show, hey.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm kind of like I am in the AL.
- 22:49[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, well, PCA has been doing it for the Cubs.
- 22:54[SPEAKER_02]: And how I liked it.
- 22:57[SPEAKER_02]: It's most valuable.
- 22:58[SPEAKER_02]: It's not best player.
- 23:01[SPEAKER_02]: And that's the issue I've always had with MVP awards and every sport.
- 23:05[SPEAKER_02]: If you take PCA off cubs, where are they?
- 23:12[SPEAKER_02]: And he takes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
- 23:26[SPEAKER_02]: I would I would cast my vote for and for PCA.
- 23:33[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Cody and Paul for joining me and talking some baseball every week one of my favorite segments of the week.
- 23:41[SPEAKER_01]: And thank you so much for listening.
- 23:43[SPEAKER_01]: We will have a regular time for the MLB report coming up pretty soon.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_01]: Until then, just expect one every week.
