Right now. Welcome back to the three O take
0:17
cinema. I see kick this episode 440.
0:20
I'll be your host, Kyle Corwin, and I'm here with my Co host
0:25
Nate Reyes. Howdy, howdy, those get
0:37
harmonizing right there. You cut in a little early
0:40
though, but it's all right. I'll allow it.
0:43
I didn't like, I didn't like the way the introduction started.
0:47
I was over it. I was ready to come in, coming
0:50
in hot. There are rules here that are in
0:53
place there. There's structure.
0:55
You can't just come. I don't think so.
1:00
Just can't come in flipping tables like that, no.
1:02
Rules on Sundays. True.
1:06
True, sometimes Monday for those who are slow or yeah, I mean
1:12
have a life. True.
1:15
If you're not watching, if you're not watching these live,
1:18
if you're not, if you're not hanging out with us talking ball
1:20
live these days, what are you doing?
1:22
If you haven't noticed, we've mentioned it on the episodes
1:25
multiple times as of late. We're doing these things live
1:28
now. Like, yeah, we're going to crank
1:30
out the podcast afterwards very quickly at my dad.
1:34
I've got I've got the system down to a science now, man, I I
1:38
can get these things cranked out.
1:39
But like, if you're not hanging out with us real time, what are
1:42
you doing? I don't know.
1:44
You can, you can have your comments featured on the stream,
1:47
make their way to YouTube, which by the way, that's a whole
1:49
nother thing. We're we're coming up on 1K.
1:53
Come on. How about that?
1:54
Let's keep it rolling. Let's keep that momentum going.
1:57
I'm gonna have to come up. Let let me check.
1:59
I'm gonna have to, I'm gonna have to come up with a giveaway
2:01
or or some sort of some sort of item here.
2:07
Yup, Yup, Yup, Yup. For that, that's a that's a big
2:10
deal man 1K on YouTube. Let's get it rolling.
2:14
Let's. And then we gotta.
2:15
Keep that empire building, that's all we need.
2:19
Then we got half the year to reach our goal of 2K.
2:23
That's what we got to get to. Look, we got some baseball we
2:26
got to talk about. But before we even do that, I
2:33
wanted to ask you, well, it is baseball related, but I'm
2:37
talking more so current events. But I was going to ask you, have
2:39
you? You have not been to a game yet
2:42
this year, have you? Yes.
2:44
You have been to a game. Yeah, when the Yankees were in
2:46
town. That's right.
2:47
That was this year, wasn't it? Yep.
2:49
Yep, Yep. Yep, on a scale of one to 10,
2:53
how How much are you going to judge me for not having been to
2:58
a game yet this year, considering that it's June 9th?
3:06
Like a 4.5. I don't think that's, I don't
3:10
think it's crazy teams not having the best year.
3:14
It's a frustrating year. It's not like the nationals are
3:18
bad as they have as bad as they have been, but it's not like a
3:23
super enjoyable product. So I don't think I I don't think
3:29
I blame you that much. The OS probably need to get to a
3:33
nose game. What's what?
3:35
Who do they got coming to town here?
3:37
Let me let me check on that real quick.
3:38
Get that, get that cooked up and also we have a connection there,
3:43
you know. That's that's true.
3:44
Who, might add, has been radio silent as of late.
3:48
I told you this would happen, man.
3:50
I told you. This would happen, he big
3:52
leagued us. Unreal.
3:54
Brian Ripken, what are you doing, guy?
3:57
Where you, where you been? Where where you been at?
4:00
Oh, dude. This coming weekend, the
4:07
Phillies are in Baltimore. There you go, your other
4:10
favorite team get. It going well, that's not,
4:12
that's not, I'm not going to entertain that.
4:16
Yeah. Not gonna entertain that.
4:19
It's your boy B Harp. Get the jersey on.
4:23
No, I, I, the only reason I ask is 'cause I was sitting there
4:26
beating myself up the other day because I was like, I have yet
4:29
to be or I have yet to go to a game and it's June and I feel
4:36
like, I feel like I deserve some sort of judgment or, or
4:41
ridicule. I'd like for you to go and wear
4:44
that. We can save this for another bet
4:51
down the stretch like I I have to wear this to whatever game,
4:54
like some game at some point this year that I go to.
4:57
We can do that. You're dressed like Marlon's
4:59
man, Marlon man's like. Dude that could.
5:03
Poor cousin, no joke. This could become a thing.
5:06
Like who's the who's the guy who's Billy Bean at the Nats
5:09
game? Like, what's what's this all
5:11
about? And I, I mean, that means I'd
5:12
probably have to go to a a handful of games to get noticed.
5:14
But you know what? Maybe I just spent.
5:17
Some money to be in. You know the camera angle well.
5:20
That's what I'm saying. Maybe I just put all the eggs in
5:22
one basket, go to one game and just commit to sitting like
5:26
first row behind home plate. Marlon Mann's right here in the
5:29
Yankees game right now. That's a shame, you guys, That's
5:33
a real shame. Let's talk some current events.
5:38
Well, pump the brakes. 11 more item here.
5:43
Before we get to actual current events.
5:45
Can we talk about this game Friday?
5:47
I think it was for Friday night, the Padres D backs game.
5:51
I only wanted to bring this up because of the blowback that I
5:54
was getting on on social. Otherwise probably would have
5:57
just let this slide and not even made mention of it.
6:00
The Jay Cronoworth AB did you see the video?
6:02
Yeah, pull up the Jake Cronenworth AB to end the game
6:08
on Friday night. Oh, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, You
6:12
did see the fastball up in a way.
6:15
Yes, yeah. Can you give me your honest
6:19
thoughts there? I I obviously know how I feel.
6:21
I was getting a lot of blowback on my take that I attached to
6:28
said video when I posted it. Did you?
6:32
A lot of a lot of, let's just say people that I would probably
6:38
guess stop playing baseball after coach pitch.
6:44
There you go. Double down.
6:48
Double down on that. What are your what are your
6:51
thoughts on that AP, on that pitch, on the decision to not
6:55
swing the bat because it was perceived as out of the zone?
7:01
I just I here's what I will say. I didn't watch that game.
7:11
I guess we can look up the scorecard now, but I don't know
7:16
how bad he was throughout the game.
7:18
You know what I mean? Like I don't know how many calls
7:19
he missed throughout the game. This was you said Friday, right?
7:24
Yeah, and if you don't know what I'm talking about, if you're
7:27
listening along or watching along, pull up on your phone the
7:30
clip of Jake Kronel where say be to end the game on Friday versus
7:33
the D backs. There was a lot of people,
7:37
specifically Padres fans, understandably so, that were
7:40
enraged about the like enraged, man, I'm not even exaggerating.
7:46
If you look at some of the comments immediate, man, it's
7:49
probably pretty raw. So I I get it from that
7:52
perspective, but they were livid.
7:54
And I'm like, this is not as egregious as you folks are
8:00
making it out to me like it. Really.
8:01
Wasn't that? Bad.
8:02
It's a questionable call, no doubt, but these folks were
8:07
losing their minds And all the people in the comment section
8:13
were like, it's not even close. It's not even close.
8:17
It absolutely was close. What are we talking about?
8:22
And, and it's these people that again, have and I, I, I hate
8:26
pulling this, this card all the time, but it's people that
8:28
clearly have never played the game and they're going that ball
8:32
is inches off the plate. I'm like, do you think Jake
8:36
Cronenworth has time in the middle of the pitch while the
8:40
while the ball is mid flight to pull out a ruler and run the
8:44
Pythagorean theorem to determine whether or not it's within the
8:47
the realm of Warren warranting a swing?
8:55
Because I'm going to tell you if it's coming in, coming in mid
8:58
90s, upper 90s, touching a hundo, whatever it was probably
9:03
doesn't have the ability or the time to do that.
9:07
So real time that pictures coming in, it's going to look a
9:10
lot closer. And really it's the my my issue
9:14
is with the K zone. Yeah.
9:18
Or was this Friday? It may, It may.
9:20
Actually, I think it was Thursday.
9:21
It may have even been Thursday night, but we haven't had a
9:23
chance to address it yet. Now that I'm thinking back on, I
9:25
think it was Thursday night. But the K zone, man, the K zone
9:30
is turning people into absolute armchair umpires.
9:35
Yeah, for sure, for sure. And as you as a Yankee fan, you
9:42
can confirm that the K zone that they're shown for Aaron Judge
9:47
mathematically is not relative to what a guy like they're,
9:52
they've proven it that you pull up, you pull up.
9:54
I think it's Altuve's K zone, obviously a major height
9:58
difference there. They've proven that it's these,
10:01
these K zones are not relative to one another.
10:03
And I think you can throw soda into the mix.
10:05
I think I saw a post that compared all three and how
10:07
they're just not like they're not proportionate to one
10:11
another. So don't don't be using the K
10:14
zone as evidence for or against. That and I think that I mean
10:22
some broadcast that you hear it, some broadcast will be like the
10:25
K Zone isn't official, like this isn't like the official one.
10:29
They're all like relative to that, like specific broadcasting
10:34
channel. Some don't show it, some do.
10:37
I would say most do, but overall like it.
10:40
And you made a good point with your next tweet.
10:43
Took two down the middle before that.
10:47
So it's like, I don't know, it's clear that a lot of people
10:53
haven't been in the box and been in that situation.
10:56
You know what I mean? Where there's there's guys on
10:58
and and you know, the game's on the line, 2 strikes against you.
11:03
It's just it's a perfect pitch. That helps that the I think
11:09
Gabby Marino was catching Hope City was already kind of
11:13
standing up a little bit. Dude hit a spot this perfect
11:18
pitch. But that's the that's again like
11:22
the difficulty of of I don't know if that K zone you see the
11:27
three D1 versus the two-dimensional one.
11:30
Like, I don't know if that pitch, because I don't think
11:33
people realize that the four, three or four feet from the
11:38
front of the plate to the catcher's glove, you're still
11:41
going to have movement, especially like that look like
11:44
A2 seamer. That was just, you know, kind of
11:46
tailing away. Like you're still going to have
11:49
movement. That ball's still going to by
11:50
the time it gets to the catcher that's still sliding away at the
11:55
front of the plate, it might have caught the front corner.
11:58
So I I think it was it I've seen a lot worse calls.
12:03
I've seen a lot worse calls. So again, I made this point when
12:11
that Orioles White Sox infield fly double play nonsense would
12:18
have been It wouldn't have been this big of a deal if it didn't
12:20
end the game. Right.
12:22
That happens in a different part of the game, in the middle of
12:24
the game. Not that big of a deal, but I
12:26
don't know. I don't know why this one
12:28
specifically is blowing up. And I did look up the scorecard
12:31
by the way, and it was average like it, it wasn't anything.
12:35
It wasn't, it was plus like .1 two runs towards the Diamondback
12:40
side. He had like a 94% accuracy on
12:44
the on the day, which is what average umpires get.
12:48
So like, I don't know, not that bad Colonel with just needs to
12:53
be better in that situation, man.
12:54
Like it's. I don't think there's anything
12:59
wrong with what you said. This was my favorite comment on
13:03
the on the video I posted on Instagram, somebody said if it's
13:07
close, referencing what I said where I I I had tweeted that the
13:13
K zone has just nerfed people into forgetting that like
13:17
swinging if it's close is a real thing, especially when there's
13:21
two strikes, especially when it's to end the game.
13:25
The guy some somebody goes if it's close, proceeds to be 5.3
13:29
inches off the plate to which I responded, did you really just
13:34
type that out and still decide to hit send That right there
13:38
perfectly summarizes the the I I don't wanna, I don't wanna
13:43
generalize here, but there's a a percentage of new baseball fans
13:47
who are so fixated on numbers to where they think 5.3 inches off
13:52
the plate can be can be like can be determined mid flight.
14:01
Yeah, and that 5.3 inches is not worth.
14:05
It's not. Taking the bat off your shoulder
14:08
because what's? The width of What's the width of
14:10
a of a baseball? The three inches.
14:13
It's maybe a baseball and 1/2 about, yeah, and approximately 3
14:24
inches, yeah. Yeah.
14:29
But like, what do you do? You folks get what you're
14:31
saying. Tail away, too, like that's
14:36
where he's catching it, four feet past the front of the zone.
14:40
It's going to look very different.
14:41
At least exaggerate, man. Don't give me 5.3 inches off the
14:45
plate and act like that's a mile.
14:47
Anyway, Speaking of miles, we don't, we don't talk miles here
14:53
anymore. It's all about the the
14:54
kilometers, the meters, the meters, baseball in it.
15:00
It's Tuesday, Crumpets. It's Tuesday.
15:08
Oi oi oi, it's Tuesday. Is that?
15:11
Aussie, I think Aussies. That's.
15:12
Aussie. Yeah, that's my bad.
15:14
Same thing. That's right.
15:15
That's right. There's just.
15:17
No, no, no, no. Technically Aussies are just
15:30
British prisoners. You know if anyone understands
15:36
history? True, true.
15:40
Wow. History bomb from the clouds,
15:42
Yeah. Just British lawbreakers.
15:48
So I rescind the Boo. That's fair, that's fair.
15:54
I'll allow it. I'll allow it.
15:56
Mets and Philly split and the London Series.
16:01
Phillies take game one, score seven to two.
16:02
Mets in a wild one in. Game two, score six to five,
16:09
finishing in. I believe the bottom of the
16:15
ninth came down to the wire. I watched it.
16:20
I was, man, I really thought that I, I really thought they
16:25
were going to throw it away there on that last play.
16:28
I really thought they were going to do it.
16:30
It's an awkward play. It's a super awkward play for a
16:33
catcher. There were, Yeah, well, exactly.
16:36
There's so there's just so many moving parts, like Castiano's
16:39
bat had exploded at the plate. You know, you got this little
16:42
dribbler, you got the base. I think the bases were juice at
16:45
that point, a lot of moving parts.
16:48
You got the fans in the crowd. Oy, oy, oy, crumpets.
16:52
Tuesday, mate, all that. There's fancy some chips.
16:58
Fancy some fish and chips. Oh, wait, sorry.
17:02
Brief pause in the action. Steve Cohen had the Did you see
17:06
his quote from this weekend? No.
17:09
What'd he say? He said, well, I want to pull it
17:12
up, but he was talking about the food.
17:15
You didn't see the, the his quote about the food.
17:19
I thought, I mean, you're not a New Yorker, but I mean, you're,
17:23
you may as well be you're, you're a West Coast W you're an
17:28
Arizona New Yorker. You're not really a New Yorker.
17:31
That works I guess I don't know what it takes.
17:34
I mean this this should be. My point is, I have a
17:37
sophisticated palate. My point is is that this should
17:40
insult you as someone who visits New York frequently, he says.
17:44
I love London. I think the food here is
17:47
fantastic. I think it's better than the
17:49
food in New York. London is well known for having
17:54
garbage like all of Britain, England, UK well known for
18:02
having horrendous. Food.
18:04
It's such A and. You have a guy here that can
18:07
afford literally anything he wants.
18:11
Such a disappointing comment. Maybe venture outside of Queens
18:17
and go get some real food, you know?
18:20
I mean, that's just insane. I I couldn't believe it.
18:25
I thought it was parody when I saw it, but he actually said it.
18:28
Yeah, enjoy your beans and toast, Steve.
18:32
My goodness, what? Just insane.
18:36
But yeah, a good good turn out, good turn out in in in London
18:42
game two. I didn't catch the attendance
18:43
for game one. It looked like it was packed,
18:45
just as game two was game two, 5055 thousand turn out, but they
18:51
were into it, man the the people.
18:52
Loved it, yeah. They loved baseball there so
18:56
much this weekend that they didn't care what rules they
18:59
broke. They were wearing Philly shirts
19:01
with Yankee hats. They were wearing Philly shirts
19:04
with Mets Mets logos on it. Lawless.
19:09
It was unreal. Yeah, did you watch like the I
19:15
watched that time lapse video of them turning it from the soccer
19:18
pitch? Yeah, it's always, it's always
19:20
crazy. Baseball field, it's nuts what
19:22
they're able to do, man. The turf, though, that I, I just
19:26
can't do the turf, man, which is, which is reminds me of a
19:31
point that I wanted to bring up. You saw, I'm sure you saw
19:34
Bryce's soccer celebration, right?
19:36
I'm really, really on the fence about it.
19:41
You know I'm a Bryce guy too. It was pretty cringy.
19:44
I yeah, I hate to say it. I you're, you'd be it's a real
19:51
task to get me to say something negative about Bryce Harbour.
19:54
It's true. But in the moment I saw that and
19:56
I'm like, I, I hated it. Don't.
19:59
I don't. I don't vibe with this Bryce.
20:03
I I get what you're doing it just it just was cringy.
20:09
I don't know. And what makes it worse is he
20:11
They had the hot mic in the dugout, and he said he had been
20:15
planning it for years. Yeah, like squids in The
20:19
Sandlot. He'd been planning it for years.
20:23
I don't I. Don't that just makes it worse
20:25
I. Really don't love the move.
20:28
But no. But sorry.
20:29
But my, my, my point. Originally there was the turf if
20:34
if my man would have blown out a knee on both knees.
20:38
Or just like catches, are you? Kidding who?
20:41
Or if we just. Move this like nose dives right
20:44
after. I don't know.
20:47
Did you see the the post game interview where Rob Thompson was
20:51
like, yeah, he didn't tell me about that?
20:54
He's like, yeah, no, no chance. He's getting away with that if
20:58
he mentions that to anybody. He said he didn't tell his
21:00
teammates because he wanted them to be surprised.
21:02
They to to their to his credit, they loved it.
21:05
But I mean, it seems like they were, they were.
21:07
I think everyone was just really caught off guard.
21:10
Let's go, Trent Grisham. Let's go.
21:26
Let's go. A guy plays twice a month taking
21:31
glass now. Yeah.
21:32
Yeah, it's big time. That's big time.
21:36
I had to flip my phone over because that.
21:39
I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's because of
21:41
national broadcast, but I'm getting the tweets about home
21:44
runs before it happens. Whoever runs that account.
21:49
First off, are you OK? Like, are you which account?
21:55
MLB home runs? Yeah.
21:56
Like, no, that's automated. It's automated.
21:59
OK. I was going to say, like blink
22:00
twice if you're like, if you're an immediate, like chained to
22:05
your computer in a basement somewhere.
22:08
No, it's it's very much automated.
22:10
And in fact, I think when I think when Twitter got bought
22:15
out or whatever by Elon and they were changing like some of their
22:18
API stuff, which I know that probably means nothing to most
22:21
people. Yeah, there was a chance that
22:24
that account was no longer going to be a thing because the like
22:27
they, they rely on that stuff and people were like, they were
22:30
up in arms like no, we can't let this happen.
22:32
And I, I think it worked out to, well, it did work out 'cause
22:35
still kicking. But yeah, it's, it's automated.
22:38
No worries there. Anyhow, yeah, the slide just
22:42
didn't. I don't know.
22:43
I it's difficult for me 'cause like the the like the vibe that
22:55
Bryce Harper gives off like, like there are things that he
23:01
does that makes makes me feel like he tries to be like Jeter
23:06
Esque like a like a stoic. I'm a leader.
23:11
I'm going to big league. You kind of like tone about.
23:15
Can I? Can I interject the play that
23:18
that the the very tone that you're referring to, the play
23:21
that makes me think of that every time is the the home run
23:25
he hit against the Padres to send them to the World Series
23:28
where the entire park is just losing their minds.
23:32
And meanwhile. Like you can't even tell.
23:34
Can't even tell. And then he does stuff like this
23:37
and I'm like, Bryce, what are we doing?
23:39
There's like these, there's still like flashes of stuff that
23:43
he does that like reminds me of like, you know, the the eye
23:48
black being smeared all over his cheeks and and Jason worth being
23:52
like we don't do that here. Like I feel like that part is
23:55
still in him somewhere. And it's just it's it's weird.
23:59
I'm like, you're just too old to be doing this.
24:02
And it's it's a weird thing. Like you don't I would never
24:06
imagine. I could never imagine seeing
24:09
Ohtani or Mookie or judge and like, I'm not, I'm not trying to
24:15
like make a big deal out of it. Like it is what it is.
24:17
I'm not trying to be like, I'm not trying to be like, Oh no,
24:20
this isn't fun. Like I, I don't care.
24:23
It was just weird to see him do it.
24:25
It it was cringy that that's the only that's the only way I can
24:29
feel about it. Second it happened.
24:31
I was like, I don't, I don't like that.
24:35
And he didn't slide. He didn't.
24:36
Slide very far like it was like a really.
24:39
Short dude. Honestly, I'm the forget like
24:42
the cringiness aspect of it. I'm just thankful that he didn't
24:46
blow out both knees. Another thing I was thinking as
24:51
I was preparing for for this episode, I was thinking how in
24:53
the world can we organically bring up Jason Worth?
24:57
Because I wanted to show Jason Worth some love.
24:59
Nailed it. Did you see that?
25:01
Yeah. And what's what's crazy is I saw
25:06
the news about hit like he I didn't.
25:08
I had no idea he was in the horses and I saw.
25:11
It on MLB Network when he went, he was on MLB Central a couple
25:14
weeks ago and I was like really, he was doing an interview like
25:17
and he was just holding the camera in the stables freaking.
25:21
Wow, I had no clue. Last we heard from Jason Werth
25:25
was him hitting nukes at a men's softball game.
25:27
That's. That's men's league that I think
25:30
that was just baseball, to be fair, but.
25:33
I could have sworn that was softball.
25:35
I'm pretty sure that was softball.
25:37
For sure baseball, For sure baseball.
25:39
Wow. Yeah, Well, that's the last we
25:41
heard of him. But yeah, I was.
25:42
What's crazy is I, I was telling you, I was at the horse races
25:45
last night with my family and just happened to open up my
25:49
phone, see the feed. And Jason, you see Jason worth
25:51
there? Like holding the trophy of what
25:54
was it the Belmont Stakes? That.
25:56
Yeah, his horse had won. He's like the owner now.
25:59
I don't know how that how like the ownership and and all that.
26:02
Can buy. It's kind of like a team, like
26:04
you can have percentages of it. That's crazy.
26:07
Feel like I'm going to buy 10% of this horse.
26:11
So you can have like a majority owner.
26:13
Is that how that works? So he's majority owner then?
26:17
I don't know, couldn't tell you, but yeah, it's like a thing.
26:20
It's it's like a team like you can be, you can have ownership,
26:25
but you're paying for like, you know, like the training you're
26:27
paying for, like the feed and like the housing.
26:31
I guess I was to say that, but he's a.
26:34
Co-owner of Belmont Stakes winning horse Door Knock.
26:39
Love that. Dude.
26:41
Yeah, I mean, what are the odds? I was like, how can we bring up,
26:44
how can I bring up Jason Werth's?
26:47
Yeah. Belmont Stakes victory.
26:50
And you just, you just did it. I bet if you were to ask Jason,
26:54
Jason Worth, he would have hated that.
26:56
That goal Celebration. Probably, yeah.
27:01
So putting a bow on this goal celebration.
27:03
No, it's Yeah, it was. It was less about the the what
27:07
are you doing, Bryce, and more of, hey, can we keep both knees,
27:10
please? I mean.
27:11
Yeah, yeah, the couple things I noticed #1 Ranger Suarez looked
27:18
a little a little off. I wonder if the finger's still
27:20
OK like I don't just didn't look quite like himself.
27:25
Did you notice because of like the, the like the light and like
27:30
the opening at the top of the stadium, the sunshine coming in
27:34
the the center field wall was like completely reflective the
27:39
first couple innings of the first game.
27:41
Yeah. That like the hitter's eye above
27:43
it and then like the blue wall and it was like looked like a
27:46
mirror. I would have struggled.
27:49
Yeah, dude, they were talking about it, I think it was, they
27:52
were talking a lot of about it today with the like the ring,
27:56
the the stadium ring and the color of the sky at the time and
28:04
how it was giving them trouble. And I'm like, it's, it's
28:08
basically an outdoor version of the trap because the trap gives
28:12
you the same kind of issues, but they and they were, they were
28:15
dealing with a similar problem, except that it was just outside,
28:18
but the sky was giving off the same appearance as the trap
28:21
would. So I felt bad for him in that
28:23
regard. But, you know, that's, that's
28:25
baseball a little. Bit of some funkiness.
28:27
There's some some little slight funkiness.
28:32
I saw the play, I think it was it's like an RBI single that
28:38
scored Boehm in the first game that the IT was like in front of
28:43
Starling Marte and and Wright and it had like a 95% like catch
28:49
percentage, catch made percentage and very much dropped
28:55
in front. I didn't realize Starling Marte
28:57
has been that bad and right. I saw a tweet that he's -8 outs
29:01
above average in right field and I'm like, that's did he play
29:08
center field like often between the Pirates in the first few
29:13
couple years with the Mets? I'm like, how did you go from
29:16
that to this? So that makes sense, though
29:19
maybe it was because of just the weird lighting in the stadium
29:23
and stuff. But yes.
29:27
Did you catch the the British broadcast?
29:31
Dude, I was going to bring that up.
29:33
Incredible. Gosh, it was sick.
29:36
That was so good and look I'll be the 1st to tell you and I was
29:40
campaigning for it before the the series even started.
29:44
First of all, I'm disappointed that not one guy, at least that
29:48
I I was aware of, took the route of sticking it to the Brits,
29:54
man, Like I was expecting Harper.
29:56
I was expecting maybe Pete Alonzo.
29:59
Any of those like Team USA guys that had any affiliation with
30:03
Team USA over the course of their career, Jeff McNeil, any
30:06
of those guys I just thought, I thought was going to be Pete
30:08
Alonzo. Nobody took the route of
30:11
sticking it to the Brits. And I was, I was real
30:15
disappointed. I didn't see any 1776
30:17
references, although I saw, I saw that one, the shirt, the the
30:21
shirt in the stands where it was like the the I think it was a
30:24
Philly shirt and it said the Oh yeah, he blew it. 13 colonies
30:28
lead. I love that.
30:29
That's fire. That's sick.
30:31
The fact that, yeah, the fact that we didn't get any of that,
30:33
but I, I guarantee you that was addressed beforehand probably
30:37
that I'm. Sure, Manfred would have would
30:39
have shut that down, but that's so like like when you think of
30:44
our our revolution, you think of Philly like, you know what I
30:46
mean, like that. Yeah, like, no better team to do
30:49
it, Philly. I mean, come on.
30:52
It's a big, big let down there. Manfred shut that down.
30:55
But yeah, dude, the nothing but a love for the the British
31:00
broadcast. That was insane.
31:02
It was. Butter fact that he's talking
31:05
about, like closer by Committee Smith instead of Edwin Diaz,
31:10
like the way he said Castellanos was sick.
31:14
I loved every second of it. So sick.
31:17
Which brings up a bigger conversation here and it's that
31:23
like we really as as a sport dropped the ball on on the
31:28
coverage for this series. I think like Fox, dude, I don't
31:32
know if you saw the the kickback Fox was getting on Saturday,
31:35
dude, they botched it man. They was oh, it was so bad.
31:39
They were doing their pregame live from Yankee Stadium because
31:46
they were covering the Saturday London game, but also had
31:51
baseball night in America for the Yankees Dodgers game.
31:57
So they're talking to Poppy a rod and I think Jeter was there
32:02
too in like Monument Park about a game that's happening hours
32:06
later from a completely different continent.
32:13
And like I I get it. You got to do what you got to
32:15
do. But like there, there's got to
32:17
be another route that you can take there like some sort of
32:21
exception that you can make to allow some like is there not?
32:26
I know this sounds crazy. I'm kind of just thinking off
32:29
the top of my head here. Is there not like a AUK team for
32:35
Fox stationed like in London that maybe could could take
32:40
over? And not to mention, they had a
32:43
ton of retired players there. I saw a ton.
32:48
Like you couldn't snag any of those guys and throw a stage on
32:52
the field and get them to talk about it.
32:54
Like Utley was there. I saw Ryan Howard there like.
32:58
Pool host was there. Yeah, like you had plenty of
33:01
people to to throw up there, people that have probably done
33:05
some type of pregame show before.
33:07
I just weird. Just for me, it's less.
33:10
It's less about even the to a I'll just say to a lesser
33:16
degree, I, I think the retired players would have been great
33:20
'cause they at least would have been there.
33:21
But for me, I guess the point that I'm trying to make is that
33:24
even more so than the retired players, I just like, give me,
33:30
give me like the Brit rundown. Like if we're gonna, if we're
33:32
trying to preach this growing the game, we're trying to preach
33:35
this baseball in Britain. I yeah, I would have had an all
33:40
UK staff for. Sure.
33:41
Don't give me, don't give me a clip of the British broadcast
33:46
after the game's over, after the series is over and and people
33:49
are just raving about how great it is.
33:51
Give that to like, make that the primary viewing experience for
33:54
baseball fans. Yeah.
33:56
Because like, here's, here's the thing, And not a lot of people I
34:00
think are really are thinking about it this way.
34:03
As much of an experience as this is for London and for that side
34:09
of the pond, it's an experience for us too, Yeah.
34:13
Agreed. And if you can, like if we're
34:16
giving them the experience on the field, like.
34:18
Give us the UK. Give us the the the at home
34:22
experience on this side of the pond and let us let us take in a
34:26
a bridge broadcast. I don't know what that looks
34:28
like. I don't logistically.
34:30
I don't know how how you make that happen, but like for two
34:32
games, you're telling me we can't we can't pull something
34:35
off. I don't know I'm.
34:37
Watching a pretty controversial play that could be a thing on
34:43
Twitter tomorrow. Coming at your real time from
34:46
Yankees, Dodgers, Sunday Night Baseball.
34:48
How about it? This is a first and 2nd no outs
34:51
Kiki bunt attempt that he popped up foul and key.
34:55
K was out-of-the-box and was in Trevino's way.
35:02
They made contact with each other and Trevino didn't and now
35:05
he gets the bunt down. Oh boy.
35:10
Anyway yeah I I agree give me more UK stuff.
35:14
Like give me more. I don't want to listen to the
35:16
same guys. I don't want to listen to the
35:19
same, the same crew. I don't I don't want the same
35:22
type of thing. Like just dive into it a little
35:25
bit more. It's so weird how they it
35:29
reminded me of the the what's the, the game that we're about
35:35
to get at the old Negro League field in a in a couple weeks.
35:39
What? Is the name of that park.
35:41
Like rock Rock field or something like that.
35:45
What is the name of that park? I I was just reading about that
35:49
the other day. Rick Woodfield.
35:51
Rick Wood. Rick Wood.
35:54
Birmingham Black Barons. That's what I was saying is that
35:57
it's like, how am I just now finding out about this?
36:01
Like why I didn't know about this?
36:03
It's it's like they use the London series to promote that.
36:08
And I'm like, what? Why are we just now hearing
36:11
about these things? It crept up on us last week, we
36:14
were about to record and I was like we should probably such on
36:17
the 11. Series, yeah, probably mentioned
36:19
the fact that we're playing Yeah across the Atlantic Ocean this
36:22
week. So weird, just so weird how they
36:25
like. They have so much work to do,
36:27
they really do. I mean, look, accountability
36:29
here, part of that's on us. Like we need to, we need to be
36:32
like more aware of these things. But if if people that talk
36:36
baseball on a regular basis aren't seeing this, then how
36:39
about freaking Joe Blow who sells ice cream on the weekends?
36:45
How is he going to hear about it?
36:47
Yeah, the and the I'm, I'm like going going back to Opening Day.
36:53
Like I didn't know the was it Korea with the Dodgers?
36:59
Yeah, I didn't know about that until like a week before.
37:02
The Soul series, yeah. Yeah, like it.
37:04
It's just, it's so strange the, the international stuff, it's,
37:09
it's like it, it's almost like a slight to us fans here in
37:14
America, like your base fans, the reason you have money.
37:20
It's like a slight to us and a huge hype up over there.
37:24
I'm all about growing the game. But like, if the whole point of
37:28
it is to grow the culture with it, like give us a taste of
37:34
Korea, give us a taste of London and just going like random
37:41
cutaways in between innings, showing the trolley or whatever
37:45
they call that bust thing. Like, bro, come on, like show me
37:49
more. I don't know.
37:52
Whatever, I'm over it. No, but look look cool.
37:55
Series, though I liked it overall like.
37:57
I was, I was, I was impressed. I, I will say that.
38:00
And I was going to say my closing thought was that I, I
38:02
genuinely was impressed by the response from like the locals,
38:07
they, they were into it and, and I.
38:09
Know a lot of Phillies fans too. I, I was ribbing them for the
38:13
whole like, wearing Yankee hats with like Philly shirts, but,
38:17
you know, like, they gotta start somewhere they don't like.
38:19
They don't know. To them, a Yankees hat may as
38:22
well be an MLB hat that 'cause worldwide, the Yankees hat is
38:27
just like your standard. Baseball hat.
38:29
It's like Nike. Yeah, like you, it's the same
38:31
logo, but. Yeah, a, a, a Brit walking
38:35
around in a Yankees hat is Rob Lowe walking around in an MLB
38:38
hat stateside. Like it's the same thing.
38:40
You're just you're, you're ultimately you're supporting the
38:43
same thing like it's. Perkins the shout out.
38:47
We'll we'll give a little love to Henry in the in the fantasy
38:50
league. He made it over there.
38:52
He's a Phillies fan, made it over to London and he was
38:56
telling us he saw every team represented.
38:59
Yeah, that was cool. Every every he saw, whether it
39:03
be a Rays or a Marlins or, you know, freaking Mariners, like it
39:08
was just represented all over the place.
39:10
I love that. That's sick.
39:12
And it sounds like that's what the whole point of this is, you
39:16
know, just get just get the game over over to the other side.
39:20
But I think the NFL struggles with that stuff too.
39:24
You know what I mean? Like the NFL, like everyone over
39:26
here is pissed because the game's at 7:00 AM on Sunday and
39:30
make sure your lineups are set. You're like waking up.
39:32
You're like there's already a game going.
39:33
Oh yeah, there's a London game. So I don't know, man, I don't
39:39
know. I heard Manfred was saying he's
39:41
like, we're not sure when we'll be we'll be back, but we will be
39:45
back. I don't.
39:46
So I guess they're they didn't re up for.
39:50
I didn't, I didn't see anything about that.
39:51
I mean, I I'd be open to maybe testing out some other locations
39:55
like yeah, I'd be, I'd be all for that.
39:58
Like we've we've been there for what now?
40:00
Like. I think that was the 4th, 1:00.
40:04
Yeah, 'cause we started with the Yankees, Red Sox back in like,
40:07
was that 19? I think it was, yeah.
40:10
Yeah. So I mean, we've been over there
40:11
for a handful of years now. Like I wouldn't hurt.
40:13
I mean, we can go back. Sure.
40:15
Yeah, it was Cardinals, Cubs last year, I think.
40:19
Yeah, I heard, I heard on the broadcast Harper had the idea of
40:24
sending four teams over for like a week and then then just do
40:27
like a little round Robin thing that.
40:29
'D be sick. Little get more teams over
40:32
there, you get in. Season, tournament, yeah, I
40:35
wouldn't hate it. Make it a big thing.
40:37
I would like that. I wouldn't hate it.
40:40
But go to place, like go to places where baseball's, you
40:42
know, trying to take off, you know what I mean?
40:45
Go to play. Like go to I'm going to Curacao
40:47
on my honeymoon. I was like or, or Aruba, like I
40:52
told you, I was just randomly walking in down the boardwalk in
40:56
Aruba and I see a the high school Xander Bogart's
40:59
commemoration like by the bathrooms.
41:02
I'm like, that's sick. Like go to places like that.
41:04
Like I get the whole London thing.
41:06
I get that it's a big market, but like, go grow the game in in
41:10
those little countries that we're having like stars come out
41:15
of from freaking nothing, man. I'm all about it. 20 questions.
41:24
Oh boy, Active or retired, retired.
41:29
Dead or alive? Alive keep track.
41:36
Infielder Outfield. Infield.
41:40
Retired alive, infield, Hall of Fame or no Hall of Fame?
41:44
No Hall of Fame. No Hall of Fame infielder.
41:53
I'm going to waste some first base.
41:55
First base. Oh, that's a good, that's good,
41:58
that's good, that's good. Lefty or righty?
42:03
Lefty for both row and hit. Yes.
42:10
Not all of fame. Oh, this is so tough.
42:17
Did he win an MVP? No.
42:23
Carlos Delgado? No, I don't even know if he
42:28
played first base. John Olrud.
42:32
Oh man. Dude, you got to be like, I know
42:36
I it's easy for me to sit here on the other side of the timer
42:38
and tell you to, to pick it up, but like, and I, I understand
42:42
you're trying to like process names, but you're.
42:44
Trying to like you. You just have to like, you need
42:46
to be like cranking questions off.
42:49
That's true. No excuse to only get through
42:50
eight questions when I have 20 to work with.
42:55
That's a minute, just for reference.
42:58
I need you to be able to do this and I I think you need to see
43:03
the difficulty. I need to be able to throw that
43:07
you can still do the music you. Want to do it right now?
43:11
I got the timer. I can play it.
43:14
This isn't how the game is supposed to go.
43:16
It's supposed to be you on the on the hot seat every time, but
43:20
OK. Go.
43:22
You have a name already? Yeah.
43:23
OK. Here we go.
43:27
Hall of Fame. Yes.
43:29
Infield. Outfield, infield.
43:32
No, I can't. Answer questions for you.
43:34
You got to say yes or no, right? Just answer the question.
43:38
Infield, infield, American League, National League.
43:41
National League. Retired.
43:44
Not retired. Retired, you said?
43:47
Hall of Fame. You said National League, Yeah.
43:51
National League East? Yeah, Some time there.
43:56
A lot of time there. Met Phillies, No.
44:01
Mets, Yes. Not David Wright, You said Hall
44:07
of Fame lefty Righty. Righty for both.
44:17
Yes, Yes, No, there's no timer. I just can't.
44:32
I can't make any more. I can't take any more guesses or
44:35
questions. Oh.
44:36
Well, if I knew that rule. A Hall of Famer that spent time.
44:43
A Hall of Fame infielder that spent time in the Mets with the
44:48
Mets? Dude, I have no idea, is Keith
44:59
Hernandez in the Hall of Fame? Is Keith Hernandez even an
45:02
infielder? I don't remember.
45:04
Stud first baseman, but no, that's not the name.
45:08
Who was it? Mike Piazza, trick one.
45:11
That's a tricky one. Catcher.
45:14
Catcher is a tricky one. Catcher is a tricky one.
45:18
But I saw a random thing on Twitter today where it was like
45:23
a picture of him where he had like bleached hair.
45:26
And the tweet was like am I old or young for not knowing the
45:30
fact that he had bleached hair? And then it made me think of the
45:34
good old days bro on the All Star team.
45:36
Oh yeah. Used to bleach my hair when you
45:40
had it felt like Eminem. That was the move that.
45:44
Was the move. That's what we did back in the
45:47
day. All right.
45:49
I think I got close like 10 questions off.
45:51
So I, you know, I'll maybe. Entertain.
45:54
Now you know. Now you know.
45:55
Now you feel the pressure. I'll maybe entertain or maybe we
45:59
just go. Maybe we just go 10 questions
46:01
rather than 20. We'll have to be a little more
46:05
intentional with our questions. Maybe I, I don't know, maybe we
46:08
extend the clock. Maybe we could see I'll.
46:11
See what a like? There's only like the active or
46:13
retired hull. Yeah.
46:16
You got to get those. It just really just narrows it
46:18
down. Quickly.
46:19
That's fair. All right.
46:22
I love it, man. That was that was stressful.
46:24
I know that was stressful. John Ulrud, what made you go
46:28
there? I don't know, I told you, like
46:30
with the Omar Vizquel, the for the first time, we did it last
46:34
episode. There was no rhyme or reason.
46:35
It was just I just went with the first person I thought of and
46:38
for some reason I was thinking John Ulrou today.
46:40
Don't know why. Love that.
46:42
Couldn't tell you Dodgers Yankee series wrapping up as we speak,
46:48
but a World Series preview nonetheless?
46:52
Possibly. That'd be nice.
46:55
Any takeaways from from this weekend?
46:58
Yeah, I, I, I think you can tell that like I've, I'm really
47:04
enjoying this Yankee season, but I'm not like loud and proud
47:09
about it. I think there's some obvious
47:11
holes in a, a lot of that stuff was exposed this weekend on like
47:14
a national scale. Rizzo is an issue.
47:19
Boone just blowing through the bullpen like he does every year
47:22
in the first half is an issue. Bullpen just doesn't look great.
47:27
Nestor is not not what Nestor used to be.
47:32
That's that's quickly fading and the Dodgers like you know, it
47:39
just waking up this it's it seems like they talked.
47:45
They showed a lot of stats of like the one through 4 in the
47:48
lineup when they go, you know, the Dodgers go.
47:52
And I didn't realize that the bottom, you know, 789 I think
47:58
may may even include the 6th spot is like some of the worst
48:01
in baseball. Muncie being out, you know, kind
48:04
of causes some issues there. But yeah, I I overall, like, I
48:12
think you could tell from the energy in the stadium, you could
48:16
tell from the way guys were talking.
48:20
This felt different then. I know there's a lot of people
48:24
on Twitter a lot, especially on the Yankee side, Like, just
48:27
relax. Don't bring Soto back.
48:30
They're like don't even worry about these games.
48:32
Don't really that like matter that much.
48:34
Like don't fall for the hype. But at the same time like I'm OK
48:40
with the hype. I don't think the players.
48:43
Hype. Yeah, they're selling Otani
48:46
jerseys and hats in the team store.
48:49
That's what I'm saying. They care about this series.
48:52
Like it's and it's OK and that's totally fine.
48:55
Like, it's OK for these guys to feel a little hyped up.
48:59
It's OK for Dodgers fans to be walking down the street behind
49:03
cop cars to get to the stadium like.
49:06
God forbid we care about a regular season series in the
49:09
middle of June. That's.
49:10
What I'm saying like it's OK to hype that up.
49:13
It's OK to have these matchups feel different because they are
49:16
rare. Like you don't get to see the
49:18
Dodgers and Yankee Stadium often.
49:20
You don't get to see the Yankees and Dodger Stadium often.
49:23
So when it does happen, like it's OK for it to feel a little
49:26
bit different than the freaking Twins.
49:28
Like it's it's all right to hype that up.
49:31
It's all right for players to feel a little bit different.
49:35
I just my my fandom and like adoration of Juan Soto grows
49:44
more and more every freaking series and Friday, like him
49:50
being like unavailable with the elbow stuff, but seeing him
49:54
Friday, like on the top step, he's got batting gloves on, he's
49:58
got the bat in hand. Like he's like, I want this,
50:01
like I want to be there. It just it's it's hard.
50:06
It's genuinely hard for me to imagine him going elsewhere if
50:11
the Yankees are willing to write the check that he deserves.
50:14
It's hard for me to imagine him playing anywhere else, whether
50:18
this ends with a ring or without a ring this year.
50:21
You know what I mean? It's like, no ring, job's not
50:24
finished. I want to come back, ring, let's
50:28
go get another one. Let's build on it.
50:30
It just feels like he is a Yankee.
50:32
Well, I mean, what does that say about the value of Juan Soto?
50:35
If you go all this, I mean, 2009 we're talking about.
50:39
What does that say about the New York Yankees going that long
50:43
without a ring? And then all of a sudden, Juan
50:45
Soto shows up to town and then they they, they bring a World
50:49
Series title back to the Bronx. Like, yeah, yeah, I would say
50:52
maybe that's the that's a factor that you should consider
50:57
reinserting into the equation in 2025 and beyond.
51:01
Yeah, yeah, fully concur. Also didn't know I'm saying this
51:08
literally with him hitting right now.
51:12
I didn't know Ohtani's trash Yankee Stadium.
51:16
Like his numbers are not good. Sounds like he all dodged a
51:23
bullet maybe. I don't know, it's an O1 count
51:25
right now. Two run.
51:26
I hope he I hope he goes yard here.
51:29
I'm. Going to hate myself dude.
51:32
What was my last thought. Oh.
51:35
Wait, can I, can I, can I put a bow on the Soto thing real
51:38
quick? Sure.
51:40
To add to to your point about his value, I mean, it's, it's,
51:44
it's obvious the the value he brings.
51:45
But to add to it, I did I see that he's only coming into
51:50
tonight's game, a Sunday night baseball game.
51:52
I think the Yankees had only scored like four runs in the
51:56
previous 2324 innings without Soto.
52:03
So like, certainly coming into tonight's game, I think they had
52:10
only the Yankees offense. San Soto had only scored like
52:14
four runs in the previous 2324 innings.
52:19
So very much a case of when he goes, they go.
52:23
To be fair, he's he hasn't really missed anything as far as
52:27
games go. He's barely missed anything.
52:30
But yeah, it's been a struggle the last few days anyway.
52:33
Yeah, Yeah. What?
52:34
Were you going to say sorry? The I know it's viral, I sent it
52:39
to the group chat and I know I'm a couple days late here but just
52:44
hit a double to left a little squibber down the third
52:49
baseline. Clap it up.
52:51
And I know, ridiculous. I shouldn't have said anything.
52:55
The Key K interview, we got it. We got to stop with this stuff.
53:03
We got to stop with this stuff. The the booted ball at third
53:07
base and like 90 seconds of silence and Kiki's like you can
53:13
see it that he's fuming. And then finally, he breaks the
53:17
silence. With what question did you ask
53:19
me like. Oh, is that what he said?
53:21
Because I saw the clip but it cut before anybody said
53:24
anything. And I'm like, how long does this
53:26
go on for? I know he was like, what did you
53:28
ask me? Oh my.
53:30
God and and what's his face? Eduardo Perez was just like, I
53:33
don't want to ask again, 'cause I don't want.
53:37
You to, I don't. Want you?
53:39
To boot it, dude, we're sitting there tonight watching the game
53:42
and I was, I was, I don't. Know if it was Eduardo, actually
53:46
know that I'm thinking about. It it probably was No, it was
53:48
probably, it was probably Ravage.
53:51
Ravage is on there now. Wait.
53:58
Did it Friday. Friday was Apple TV.
54:01
Oh yeah, so. I was going to say that wasn't
54:02
ESPN. That's who it was.
54:04
Xavier Scruggs, Xavier. Scruggs Yeah, tough luck.
54:09
Side note, no, no, no, keep going.
54:13
Sorry, I'll. No, I was just going to say
54:14
we're sitting there watching the game tonight, Sunday night
54:17
baseball, and who were they interviewing tonight on the
54:20
field? They had Verdugo, but there was,
54:23
but there was somebody else. They didn't say Oscar.
54:28
They did say Oscar. That's OK.
54:29
That's what I thought. We're sitting there unprompted,
54:32
Unprompted. I'm, I think I was like pulling
54:34
some notes together for the episode.
54:36
And, and Meredith walks around the corner.
54:37
She goes, are they doing what I think they're doing?
54:40
I said, please go on. And she was like, that's so
54:45
stupid. And I'm like, I'm glad you said
54:47
that because I didn't say anything to prompt that.
54:49
So I'm glad from your point of view, from your perspective, you
54:52
have these feelings because it probably means that there are
54:55
probably other just casual viewers of the game that feel
55:00
the same way. And she was like, they, she was
55:03
like, they don't do this in any other sport.
55:06
Yeah. Like no other sport are you in
55:08
the middle of a game as a professional athlete at
55:12
literally the highest level. And they're going, yeah, so tell
55:15
us about that bagel you got down at the New York deli this
55:18
morning on your way to the ballpark.
55:20
Like nobody cares. Ridiculous.
55:23
Yeah, the awkwardness of that. He booted the ball.
55:26
He goes silent. Then Scruggs was like, well, I
55:29
don't want to ask you again, 'cause I don't want you to boot
55:30
another ball. And then he, like Kiki didn't
55:33
even laugh. I'm like this is.
55:37
I'm glad I'm we need more of it. Proceeds to get picked off at
55:42
first the next half like I. Saw that?
55:46
He's he's got to be fuming. He's never going to do another
55:48
interview. But what I was going to say
55:51
actually not like as much as I'm dogging on it like I didn't mind
55:57
the Apple. I I Apple games don't bug me
56:01
that much. They fix the crew like the
56:03
broadcast group is is better. Well, it's all, it's all
56:09
respective to the the place they're at, right?
56:11
Don't they change it based on the idea?
56:13
I think they pull. I think they pull.
56:18
I don't want to say like representatives from each team,
56:20
but for lack of better way of saying it, I think they usually
56:22
try to pull like, yeah, somebody with some connection to the
56:27
teams. 'Cause I know MLB Network is
56:31
obviously studios in New York, but watches I like it.
56:39
I like, I like the score bug. I don't love like the little
56:43
stat numbers, but like, sometimes they're useful and
56:45
different. I don't know, it's just, it's
56:48
the. Video quality is insane.
56:50
Video quality is absurd. Like insane.
56:53
Way better than anywhere any other.
56:56
Yeah. Yeah, I don't get that, but.
56:59
They've got it down, Yeah, but Speaking of Tay Oscar, dude,
57:06
what did, what did the Yankees do to Tay Oscar?
57:12
Man hates the Yankees. He has done that since he was
57:16
Blue Jay. Man owns the Yankees.
57:21
He had he, he had to go ahead hit in the 11th on Friday and
57:25
then hit 2 jacks Saturday. Do you have like wasn't like
57:30
six, yeah, six RBI's on Saturday and I think he's doing it again
57:35
tonight. Yeah.
57:38
What's going on there, man? Why don't you have an answer for
57:40
TE Oscar Hernandez? You're you're telling me there,
57:43
bro, You're telling me of that line up that the Dodgers are are
57:46
are toting out there That's he's having.
57:49
A Goodyear. He's having a Goodyear.
57:52
That's the guy that's giving you the headache.
57:54
That's baseball. That's baseball.
57:58
Yeah. You Speaking of the Dodgers?
58:00
Did you see the. Well, I think you already
58:04
touched on it a little bit. But the crowd, dude, what was up
58:06
with that? Dude?
58:07
They were rolling deep. Rolling deep on Saturday.
58:11
Yeah. Yeah, It's cool to see, man.
58:16
Like this, is what I'm saying. Like, you can't sit here and
58:20
tell me this is the same thing. Like it's Dodger fans in New
58:24
York City that haven't gotten to see their team in this stadium
58:27
in a while. Like, it's, it's cool.
58:30
It's fun like. Well, I think, I think most of
58:33
it was them traveling like I think.
58:35
Think so. I think Dodgers fans travel
58:37
well. Like I say what you will about
58:39
the the fan base, but as a unit I think they travel pretty well
58:44
is my my understanding. Yeah, I don't know.
58:46
I'm not sure. But it's just it's it's dealt
58:53
great series. It did not disappoint.
58:56
It really didn't like like every I know it's Saturday was a
59:01
little bit of like a a blow up game, but it was mainly because
59:04
of that Grand Slam. But overall, like it's it was a
59:09
heck of a series. I told you it was a series to
59:11
watch. I hope you guys listened.
59:14
Like I said, if it wasn't for the the London series this
59:17
weekend, I wouldn't have even submitted a a series to watch
59:20
over the weekend. I'd be like just go with what
59:22
Nate's telling you because there there wasn't a better series on
59:25
on TV this weekend. Closing us out here.
59:30
Just want to run through a few names, give some give some guys
59:34
their their flowers for their recent performance.
59:37
Some some guys that have been dudes lately.
59:45
Elliott Ramos for the Giants, which didn't know it was
59:51
pronounced Elliott with the H Guess the H doesn't matter
59:57
there. Elliott Ramos, that's.
59:59
How you added him in fantasy? Yeah, I think I I was like a
1:00:04
quick add drop scenario over the weekend.
1:00:07
Elliott HELIOT. Yep, Elliott Ramos.
1:00:13
He's hitting 4/23 with eleven hits, four homers, 10 ribbies
1:00:19
and five runs scored in his last seven games.
1:00:22
Over that span, he has an OPS of 1469.
1:00:27
It's pretty. Good on the season 105 ABS he's
1:00:31
hitting 314, six home runs, 23 ribbies and an OPS of 938.
1:00:38
I even heard on, I don't remember what, what, what
1:00:42
broadcast it was, but they were, I heard some conversation about
1:00:46
him possibly making an appearance at the All Star game.
1:00:49
Not necessarily as like a, a vote getter per SE, but you
1:00:54
know, guys will finagle their way in somehow some way as a
1:00:58
representative like a fan or what's the, what's the, the
1:01:03
secondary way they get in 'cause you have like the fan vote, but
1:01:06
then what? Manager vote I think.
1:01:10
Is it a manager vote or something?
1:01:12
It some way, somehow it's? It's possible that we'll see
1:01:15
Ramos at the All Star game, but time will tell.
1:01:17
Keep it up. Matt Waldron, Miss Mr.
1:01:22
Knuckleballer of the Padres. Since May 11th, he's had six,
1:01:28
six starts. He's three in one with an ERA of
1:01:33
178 over that span, 39 strikeouts, and a WHIP of .91.
1:01:40
He's actually one of the top producers in fantasy over that
1:01:42
stretch. Love me good knuckleballer.
1:01:46
Since May 11th that span, he's had outings with 7-8 and 10
1:01:53
strikeouts. Not bad knuckleballer.
1:01:59
Not bad for knuckleballer and then another arm that I'm.
1:02:05
I'm happy for this dude after a rocky start, a lot raising a lot
1:02:10
of eyebrows, raising a lot of questions like was was what we
1:02:14
saw last year a little bit of a fluke?
1:02:17
He's turned it around for now. Hunter Brown of the Houston
1:02:23
Astros, in his last three appearances since May 28th, he's
1:02:28
gone at least six innings. Every start.
1:02:30
He's he's sporting a an ERA with a clip of two 23 strikeouts.
1:02:41
That's pretty good. Added him in fantasy as well.
1:02:46
Snagged him. Over that span, since May 28th,
1:02:50
his last three appearances, he had nine strikeouts on May 28th,
1:02:54
7 strikeouts on June 2nd, and seven strikeouts on June 8th.
1:02:58
So that 23 strikeouts I told you about over that stretch, he's
1:03:03
spreading them out. Yeah, he's spreading them out,
1:03:06
which you'll love to see. And then also you go to start
1:03:11
before that stretch, before the start, before May 20th, May
1:03:14
22nd. He also went six innings deep.
1:03:17
He only gave up. He he he threw 6 innings, A2
1:03:19
hit. Ball, yeah, if they if they are
1:03:23
able to do anything, anything this year, he has to be a a part
1:03:29
of the mix. Too many guys have gone down.
1:03:31
Christian Javier, I think it was over the weekend.
1:03:33
No. Yeah.
1:03:34
Did you just found out or or maybe just before the weekend
1:03:36
Found out. He's done for the year, I
1:03:39
believe. Yep.
1:03:42
They've been that that rotations been taking their licks, man,
1:03:46
that is. Tough.
1:03:47
Yeah, he needs to. He needs to go.
1:03:51
He needs to get it going. So good for him.
1:03:56
Good for my team. Appreciate it Hunter.
1:04:00
Keep it up if you want. If you want.
1:04:07
If you don't, I'll just drop you.
1:04:10
If you want to keep your job, well, let's let's let Nate get
1:04:13
back to watching this game. That's that's all I really got.
1:04:17
Just wanted to main take away here.
1:04:21
The Brits love baseball. And I love the Brits as much as
1:04:25
I make fun of your beans and toast.
1:04:29
I. Love that one.
1:04:32
It's still too soon, man. It's still too.
1:04:34
Soon. I love that one broadcaster.
1:04:36
Still too soon, still a little salty about the whole pre 1776
1:04:40
thing but maybe with time. But still too soon, I can't.
1:04:45
I'd like to know what taxes looked like back then compared
1:04:48
to now, 'cause I feel like we're right there, you know?
1:04:52
Yeah, we got to be. Knocking on the.
