• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I'm great, I'm great.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I got to fight at Sam Fran for a game
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this weekend today right after the show, So all right,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: we'll be expecting me to stick around, Alana.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fine. You got places to be, so let's
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: get going. How about charge the mound, you guys, yesterday
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: were talking about the fact that Bobby Wit Junior is
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: one of the guys that you would build your team around.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I agree with you. And apparently there's a new article
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: in The Athletic that says that Bobby Witt juniors discipline,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: you guys, is next level. She knows because she tried
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the daily routine. So at least Devlin from The Athletic
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: tried to mimic Bobby Witt Junior's daily routine to see
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: what he could what she could learn about one of
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: the baseball's biggest stars, and she said it was unbelievable
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: because she couldn't mimic it. Why first of all, did
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: you guys want to start a club after this guy?
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And what does it say to you about his discipline
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: being so elite?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Aj Well, I mean, this is what makes guys great,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: makes good players great and great players even better, the
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: discipline what they do. And this the reason we wanted
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to pick this guy was because he can hit, he
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: can hit for power, he plays elite defense, he runs
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and he seems like a great guy in the clubhouse.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's missing for Bobby Wit and he's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and he signed for long term, so That's why I
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: wanted Bobby Wit to start my team. The thing about
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this is you want your best player to be one
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of the hardest workers. From this, Bobby Wood Junior looks
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: like that, and it's a great example. Everyone can look
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: at Bobby Wood Junior and say on this team and say, well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: if what's doing it, man, Bobby's doing it, then I
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: gotta be able to do something.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And I love this. So this is this is special, special,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: next level stuff.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Eric he aims to accomplish anywhere from ten to fifteen
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: different tasks a day. He also maps out his days
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: ahead of time. This is pretty disciplined for a guy
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: that's pretty young in the game. I mean, has the
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: game changed that much that this is necessary?
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: It was necessary when AJ and I played. I think
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: everybody's routine is different. Some guys would be cool and
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: be like, oh, no, bro, I don't got a routine,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: and yet you'd see them at the same place at
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the same time before every game. Some people will be like, oh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: it's superstition. The best players they create a routine, and
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: you're almost like when you don't have that routine or
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: when or when something gets off, you get a rain
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: delay or something. You see these guys, they're still locked
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: into what needs to be done. It doesn't mean they're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: mutes and they don't talk to anybody like a starting pitcher.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: It just means they're there to get their stuff done.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: And if you want to be the best you can
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: bet whether that's me, the player I was, or the
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: player Bobby Witt is right now, you have to put
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: all this stuff in, and you have to do it
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: early on. This is not normal. There are a lot
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: of superstars who don't have this routine, the ones that
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: take it to the next level and end up having
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: the career that The reason we picked him to be
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: starting shortstop for AJ's Team of the Future is this
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: is a guy like that. We heard about this when
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: he was drafted make up off the charts. His dad
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: played in the big leagues. It doesn't come around often,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: and when it does, and it's paired with elite super
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: star skills, that's that's that's something to be celebrated. AJA.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: This is a guy that obviously has all of the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: best coaches and training staff and strength and conditioning and
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: PT and all of that around him, but he also
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: has a mental health coach. Like a mental skills coach
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: also has a telephone number that he dials to talk
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: to a guy in New Jersey. That's basically like, Hi,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: you've reached the success hotline, and this is you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: doctor Rob Gilbert. Here's today's message. I mean, that's not normal,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: is it. I mean it's it's obviously effective. I'm not
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: knocking it, but that's just taking it to a whole
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: other level of mental prep.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: First of all, nobody wants to call anybody in New
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Jersey and get advice on him. Let's just get that
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: out there. He might he must not live in New Jersey.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: He must not be from New Jersey. Whoever he's calling
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: eight from New Jersey. Okay, let's get that out there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: On this show.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: We got too many New Jersey people that say they
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: think the Jersey's so special. Any Okay, love you New
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: York Jersey. No, not so much, goes New York. Okay,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: but listen, there was a lot of guys that did
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: this for a long time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I had later in my career we started I haven't
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: mental health Coaches. There was a guy that I was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: introduced to that wanted me to call and he would
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: pump me up every day and give me a scouting
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: report on the starting pitcher. And I used to say,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: if I'm calling you, then we world is in trouble.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Because the world is because my mind has gone off
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the rails.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And it was a joke.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: But I never needed this, But I know a ton
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: of guys that did. We had a guy with the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: White Sox, we had a guy with the Rangers. We
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: had a guy we had Bob Tewksbury, former pitcher when
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I was with the Red Sox. Right, this is an
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: important thing, and this is something that guys are getting
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: more and more into and I like it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I think this is awesome.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I think this is something a way to get away
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: from the stress of everyday baseball, because baseball is really
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: hard physically, but more importantly mentally. I mean, think what
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Jock Peterson just went through, oh for forty one he
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: finally gets a hit, the weight that's off his shoulders.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: You got to have somebody if you can't do it
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: to yourself, meaning if you can't tell yourself you're good
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: no matter where you're at, then you need somebody else
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that can tell you and how to fix things and
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: how to end certain thoughts in your brain and listen.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It's just another piece of Bobby Wood Junior's routine, and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: God bless him for it, because I don't know. I'm
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I did a lot of crazy stuff, but this was
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I had one of the craziest routines of all time.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: But this is this is more stuff than I could
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: have done.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Speak to that. What was the part of your routine
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: that made it so crazy?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you haven't read the Storylana, we don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: have enough time, so trust me, I would do a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: lot of I did everything at the same time. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: did I get out depending on who was pitching, what
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: foot hit the floor first.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was a whole lot of things.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: All right, we don't have enough time. Apparently we have
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: two hours, but that's we need more than that, apparently.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: All right, let me ask you this, Kratz, because if
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: you look at Bobby Wit Junior, he's a young guy,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: but obviously they see a lot in him. They gave
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: him a massive extension, as they should for all of
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the reasons that we just listed. Who else in that
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: clubhouse do you think could minus Salvey? Because we know
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: that that's obviously the case. Who else could emerge as
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: a leader in that clubhouse right now. They're ten and fourteen.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: They're set to play the Rockies today at to ten Eastern,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: so they're gonna be on the air when we're on
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: the air. Who else can emerge to get this club
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: at least headed, you know, to get back above five
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: hundred and make a name from them.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: So the central.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Obviously, I can't say any pictures because pitchers can't be leaders.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: They can lead in their own way, but not in
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the sense of what you're looking for. To me, that's
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: kind of what they got in Jonathan India. Jonathan India,
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: I get it. He's you know, he's had a few
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: games where it hasn't gone very well for him, so
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: maybe he would have liked to have started out hitting
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: four hundred. When he comes to a new team, He's
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: got that. He's got that consistent, calm presence in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: sense that he's played for a while, he gets after it,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: he plays hard, and once he settles into playing third,
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: second left, mixing him around. I think his leadership and
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: his consistency, the fact that every day they're gonna look
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: at look up on the scoreboard in center field and
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Kaufman and go, oh yeah, India's hitting oh yeah, India's
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: playing today. Maybe not really see where he's playing, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: just that consistency can be a huge form of leadership.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Kansas City's third and the Al Central guys behind the
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Tigers and the Guardians, AJ do they have enough?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: They better get going. I mean, listen to the Guardians.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Don't seem like they're going anywhere, and the Tigers look
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: So do they have enough?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: They're ten and fourteen. They got a long way to
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: go because there's certain teams. Three teams from this division
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: made the playoffs last year. I don't see that happening.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe two this year from that division. So the Royals
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: need to get going and we'll see.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: We'll see. I love what the Royals have done the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: last two years, but we'll see if it's enough.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Going back to the leadership spot for just a second,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: I remember when I was covering the Colorado Rockies, Troy Tulowitzki,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: as a young guy, stood up in the clubhouse and
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: stood on a chair and said, I've never lost at
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: any level of my career, and I'm not about to
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: start now. And he wasn't a veteran player. I mean,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: it wasn't like it was Todd Helton say in this
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: stuff right, and Bobby Wood Junior is a young guy.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, some guys don't necessarily want that role as
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: a leader. You remember Charles Barkley saying, I don't want
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: to be you know, I don't want to be role model.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, do you have to have that personality the leader?
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: What about the quiet leadership?
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: No?
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Troy Tulowitski realized he did had that meeting, and he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: realized he played for the Rockies, so he was kind
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of he was going to catch for me too. No,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: you don't have to have that personnel. You can lead
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and be quiet. There's quiet leaders. You don't have to
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: be Go Go, Team Go. But some people look to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: leaders that are quiet. Some people look to leaders that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: yell and screams. So people have different personalities. That's why
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: it's important to have more than one leader on a team.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You can't just say like, oh, this guy is our
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: leader because he yells and screams, because some people might
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: look at him and be like, oh, here he goes again.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You know, So you have to have different people that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: do different things and control different situations.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: And Eric said that that pitchers can't be leaders. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: don't know if I agree with that, because I've seen
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: some future Hall of famers that are definitely leaders in
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: the clubhouse. Aja you caught them, can they be.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It's tougher, It's tougher. It's tougher. There are some, There
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: are some, but it's tougher because they're not out there
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: every day. And if you're not, pictures can be leaders
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of pitchers. But it's just hard because position players and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: again I'll say this and I mean it. Position players
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: look at a pitcher and a starting pitcher would stand
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: up and say something and we're like, dude, you don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: pitch for five more days.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Just sit down and be quiet. You know, guys tried
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to be leaders.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And when you got a guy out there grinding one
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty hundred and sixty games and he looks
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: at the picture, he's like, dude, you pitch thirty times.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of that. But yes, can
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: pitchers be leaders one hundred percent? I mean mark, a
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: guy like Mark Burley, a guy like Brad Raki. Yes,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the guys I played with were leaders on teams. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you know, at the same time, then you have to
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: have somebody in the position player side step up and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: take that role. Because position players flock to position players,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: pitchers flock the pitchers.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: It's just the way it is. It's not a bad thing.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: We all intermingle, but at the end of the day,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: pitcher spend most of their time with pitchers and position
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: players spend most of the times with position players.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Alana, we love our pups dearly and we want to
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: shout out Spot and Tango for taking care of our
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: pups with their unkibble. They are a game changer.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: A game changer is right, Scott. And you know anything
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: about me, you know that I love dogs and I
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: want them to live forever. My own rescue pup, Bentley,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: is my passion and she loves Spot and Tango. Thank goodness.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: It's one hundred percent human grade ingredients, so you know
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: exactly what your dog is getting. Oftentimes, in other forms
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: of dog food, you have no idea what's in it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: It's a bunch of fillers. She loves it. It helps
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: keep her healthy. It's perfectly customized for her age, her breed,
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: her weight, and her level of activity. Makes me happy
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: to give it to her.
• 11:29

• 11:50
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, let's talk about the Chicago Cubs. We
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: know that they're doing pretty well themselves. Just had a
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: sweep a mini series, albeit but it's still a sweep
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: of the Los Angeles Dog. They're doing all of this
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: stuff without the services of Justin Steele, obviously, who's on
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: the shelf. Are the Cubs better aja than we are
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: giving them credit for? You can see here from Alex
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: pat Cubs are now done facing the Dodgers, the Padres,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks in the regular season, so seemingly have a
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: bit of an easier schedule up ahead, and they're making
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: the most of the games that they've played so far.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Are they better? We'll see, it's a short stretch. They
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: caught the Dodgers. It seems like at a bad time
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: when they're not playing great, you know, listen, this is
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: gonna kill Kratz. But the Cubs are gonna win the Central.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I picked them to win the Central. They're gonna win
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the Central. Now can they do something damage.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: In the playoffs. We'll see.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: But Kyle Tucker's off to a great start at the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: offense has been unbelievable. That's the thing. Look at their offense.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: No one thought their offense was going to be this good.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: They got to show up the bullpen. They got to
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: find at least one more starting pitcher. But the Cubs
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: are gonna win this division. I firmly believe that. And
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I think they're about where we thought they would be.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And hey, Craig Council figured some out in they s
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: they played good against these teams in the West. But
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: as Crats also always says, water levels out, so we'll see.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But yes, I still think they're in a good spot
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and the right where I thought they would be.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: All Right, guys, sign now for what's the beef. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: have a laundry list of things, but this is not
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: about me. It's about you two. So let me ask
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: you this. What is the most frustrating thing as a player? Guys,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: when you have a team, an organization that decides to
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: schedule a game on a travel day, on a getaway
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: day at six twenty nine pm, when you have to travel,
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: get to the next city at the crack of dawn,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: play a night game that night, and then play a
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: day game the next day.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: All of that, what's the most frustrating part all of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that and the Angels. You know what, I don't have
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: any sympathy for the Angels because the Angels have been
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: doing this for years. They play these night games because
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: they want bigger crowds. And when I was visiting, I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: remember we were in Minnesota when I was playing for Minnesota.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: We went there, we played a seven to ten, we
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: went extra innings. We had to fly to Texas. I
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: think we got in literally we landed and the sun
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: was up and we had a game that night. So,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: you know what, this is only screwing your own players
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: by doing this, they have to fight to Minnesota and
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: play a game the next day with the day game
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: on Saturday.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: This only screws your own players, and you want them
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to be on their best.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Let them play a day game at home, fly out,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: get to Minnesota, get to bed, get up, play the game,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and then they try to regulate their body clock. But
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: this only screws your own team. There's what a few
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: teams that do is bred Sox. When I was there,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: their day games were four thirty. You're like, that's not
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: really a day games as we just play at seven
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: at that point. So yeah, it just screws your own
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: team in the long run.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Angels superstar Mike Trout said, it's not a deal for sure, Kratz.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know when we're supposed to land, but it's
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: going to be early and we've got to play that night.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: And the worst part about it is the next day
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: is a day game. Now, Trout is the nicest, kindest,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: most politically correct superstar I've ever seen in my life.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: But why do the Angels keep misstepping? I mean, if
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: you want to win, put a good product on the field,
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Like if you want fans to show up, and you
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: say that it's oh as we get more of a
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: gate at night, they'll show up if your team doesn't suck.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: If they're making this decision and they're not thinking about
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: that stuff, then all they're thinking about is just the money.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: They have to understand that this kind of thing piles
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: up and other sports, other professional sports will say, oh wow,
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: you gotta go stand around in a baseball game. You
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: gotta play baseball at an elite level. And part of
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: that is recovery. Part of that is your skill, but
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: it's the compounding part of it. Yes, they'll be fine.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: They'll be fine in the first game, that day game,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: getting back up for that day game, time change, all
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: that stuff. You're actually getting up two hours earlier than
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: you would on a normal day game because you're in
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: a different time zone. They're setting them up and it
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: just it's like it's like saying, well, we have the best,
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: one of the best relievers in the game. Let's pitch
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: him one hundred straight games in a row. Could he
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: do well for the first thirty in a row. Maybe,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: But you ain't gonna have nothing left at the end.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: You can't wear your team out like this. And for
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: them to schedule it, and to specifically schedule it the
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: last minute before the CBA is allowed, that's a joke.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. And I wanted to ask you
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: aj about that too. It's like, I mean, not only
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: is it pissing off your and I would imagine you
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: guys probably don't know the CBA forwards and backwards and
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: every line and everything about it. But honest to god,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: six twenty nine really the last possible minute that you're
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: allowed to. That's almost like just saying, we really don't care.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: That's you just said it, Alana, you just said it.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: That's exactly why didn't if you're playing at six twenty nine,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: why didn't they play this game at seven? Because they're
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: not allowed to. Otherwise they would have. They went to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the first possible moment they could. And I don't know, man,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's just bad. It's a bad thing, and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's a story is crazy. But it's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: good when these things come up, because these are things
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: that are important to players and it does matter.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And like I said, you're just screwing your own player
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: by doing this.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: And I'm sure that there's many more things to talk
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: about in the upcoming CBA that the league and the
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: players union will fight about. I mean, and apparently the
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: schedule requirements are on the last page of the collective
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Bargaining Agreement, But this to me just seems like incredibly petty.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, why not play it at six twenty six five?
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: But you do it at six twenty nine, just to
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: just to prove. I don't know what your point is,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: but it is it's it is unbelievably petty. But again,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: that's that's the Angel way. I You know, there's some
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: seams that I wish would just sell the franchise, but
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: it is neither neither here nor they're.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Todd Father. I love the way that modern technology has
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: changed the way that we buy sell trade cards, even
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: rip packs. They're called slab packs, and they're on Arena Club.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: No more shuffling through everything. The common cards are all
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: over the place, Stuff's getting folded out and all messed up.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: Arena Club keeps it nice and tight in your digital showroom.
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: And then when you want that card and you want
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: to show it off, what do you do?
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: You just let Arena Club know, let them know, and
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: grab it and take it with you show it off online.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: I think this is huge, just because the fact that
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: you talked about cutting the corners. You want to get
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: a card that doesn't break or doesn't have a problem
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: with it, go right there Arena Club. They have everything
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: you need, easy money right there for really really good,
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: exceptional car.

• 18:22
  Speaker 5: your vault for safe keeping or trading and selling. Right

• 18:30
  Speaker 5: code foul. That's Arena club dot com slash foul code
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: foul for twenty percent off your first purchase.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about better than box scores. Boys. It has
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: been a minute since Tommy Fam has done something controversial,
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: but that's wait no longer. It's here. A fan reacted
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: or reached over the fence rather and touched Tommy Fam
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: while making a play on the ball to say he
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: didn't appreciate it, nor should he. No fans should reach
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: over and touch a player. We've seen it already in
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: the World Series last year with Mookie Betts and the
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: New York Yankees fans, this year with the Houston Astros
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: fan and Mike Trout. Now most recently, We're gonna cut
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: this because this is a family friendly show. But Tommy
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Fam had a gesture towards that fan showing that he
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: did not appreciate the fan touching him. Eric Kratz, what
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: is your take on this, sir?
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: What did we just talk about with Bobby Wood Jr.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: About how he prepares, does ten or fifteen things a
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: day to prepare for his day. Tommy Fam just doesn't
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: roll out of bed and go I'm gonna go play
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: a baseball game. He gets into a different zone that
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: starts when he gets to the field. Something gets in
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: the way of that. A fan reaches out and unnecessarily
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: touches him. He's going to react, and he rightly so
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: should react. Unfortunately, fortunately baseball you can have this type
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: of close interaction with players. Someday it's going to be
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: bad and Major League Baseball has to do something about
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: it because you are defenseless as a player. Somebody comes
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: running onto the field with a weapon, you can't do
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: anything about it. Somebody touches you from the stands with
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: a weapon. Shouldn't do anything like you can't do anything
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: about it? Like they have to be proactive with this stuff.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: And does Tommy Fam have the right to be mad? Absolutely?
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe the gesture that he made he shouldn't have made.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: But he is the right to be mad.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: He's from Vegas. He was just rolling the dice. I
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: don't understand what the gesture. He's from Vegas. He was
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: showing him that.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: It's probably not what the gesture was. But have only
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: learned by now AJ that you just don't mess with
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Tommy Fam Like there's certain people.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Though, don't. You can't touch any players.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Don't touch players, especially Tommy Fam or anybody else.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I can look her ass. Okay, just don't touch players.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Don't don't touch Listen, you want to say something, fine,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: if you feel what your right to say and yell
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: something dominant players, that's fine, that's your Do you feel
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: as you're right? You don't have the right to touch
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: me if I'm on the field, I'm sorry. I don't
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: have a right to touch you. I can't go into this.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I can't go to your job and walk up behind
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you while you're typing on your keyboard and just grab
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: your arm for no reason like that would be in trouble.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: So what gives people the right to think that they
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: can touch players because they paid for a ticket.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: It's not fair.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: They shouldn't be able to do it and you shouldn't
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: do it. And then the other thing is it drives
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: me crazy. The Max Munsey thing, I know where he
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: gets getting on the bus and some random guy they
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: said it was a Dodger fan. Whatever, yelling at him
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: like the game's over, okay, guys going to his bus
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to fly home. They just got to be You don't
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: need to say anything at that point. If you don't
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: have anything nice to say, just don't say it right then,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: because you're gonna get this look, which you deserve. And
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I give kudos to Max or not getting off the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: bus and saying something, because I've seen guys get off
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: the bus and go talk to people after they get
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: on and someone says they'll get back off, and we've
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: had to grab guys and be like just let it go,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: you know, like, come on, have a little tact, have
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a little kooth, and have a.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Little pride in yourself. People like your people should be
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: better in this at this point.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: That's the thing that bothers me the most is that
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: fans or fanatics or whatever they want to call themselves
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: forget that these guys are people before their players. And
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: it's usually the guy that retaliates that gets in trouble.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: You always see, like in football, when one guy pushes
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: a guy and the other guy pushes him back, it's
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: the guy that pushes back that gets, you know, the penalty.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: And it's so irritating that people think that they can
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: just say whatever the heck they want, do whatever the
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: heck they want to people that they believe that they
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: know because they see them all the time, or you
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: guys make a ton of money, so that gives people
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: the right to be able to do and say whatever
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: they want. It's not that way. And I tell you what,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of Andrew McCutchen doing anything wrong. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: when a guy or somebody comes after Andrew McCutcheon, it
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: makes me infuriated. And he kind of clapped back at
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: a fan that was talking trash on x SO. A
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Pirates fan supposedly was tweeting that Cutch deserves all the
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: love he gets, but this Pirate season is basically already over.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Cutch has a ninety two WRC plus so far the
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: season and is a blow average outfielder at this point.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: It's not like they are sitting Juan Soto when he
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't play. So McCutchen says, well, thank god, you're not
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: a GM. Didn't know the season only lasted through the
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: month of April. I mean again, this is a guy
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: that does everything the right way. So, David Todd, have
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: you ever played an inning in pro ball, let alone
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: having the career that Andrew McCutchen has had. And by
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: the way, when Cutch is in the lineup, the Pirates
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: are nine and six. Sure, shut the hell up.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, what else can we say? What else can
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: we say? I mean, like you, you as a fan,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: I guess you do have the right to say whatever
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: you want. But are you really a Pirates fan? Then
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: are you really a baseball fan? If that's what you're doing,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: you want to you want to troll a player who
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: like it's not It's not like, shoot, I hope this
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: guy doesn't know who I am because all the Mets
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: fans they troll me about my care were average ops
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: plus all that stuff. But you know what, you just like,
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: why why attack a guy on your team? That's what
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: I don't get. The Max the Dodger fan, like he's
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: giving a bad rep to Dodgers fans, the Pirate fan
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: giving a bad rep to Pirates fans, Like, that's not
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: that's not the majority. It's the loud minority in these cases.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: And of all players too, Like I could see you
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: know again, it's never right to do what he doesn't
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: matter who Anthony Rendon I could see people being upset
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: at him because he never plays and he has a
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: bad attitude. But McCutcheon like he's done everything the right
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: way of all players, Like I don't know. To me,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: it's like he's he's don't mess with him. He's such
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: a he's been such a great ambassador for this game anyway.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: All right, fans are agreeing with me, by the way,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: So just want you guys to know, leave Andrew McCutchen
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: out of out of your mouth. Keep Andrew mcutchen out
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: of your mouth, all right. Twins manager Rocobaldelli knows that
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: he is on the hot seat. You guys, you can
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: just never quit going forward. The Twins average three point
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: four runs per game and we're zero for twelve, you
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: guys when scoring three runs or a fewers. So we've
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: talked about Brandon Hyde in Baltimore perhaps being on the
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: hot seat, but it seems like rockoball Delli knows that
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: perhaps his job is in jeopardy two. And again, you
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: know managers oftentimes, or the scapegoats, they're not going out
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: and playing. They're not going out and hitting and pitching
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: and defending. But do you think his days are numbered?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: In minnesotacrats.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: No, they just swept their last series. That is epic.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Anytime you sweep a big league series, that's epic. I don't.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, what amazing team they played against too. Yes,
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: his jobs should be on the hot seat, and it's
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: not his fault. He doesn't go out there and strike
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: out and not be able to hit with runs and
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: scoring position and not stay healthy. Like the cavalcade of
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: things that have gone wrong with this team is going
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: to fall back on the manager at some point. This
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: team was clearly going to the playoffs last year and
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: something happened August second or tenth, I'm not exactly sure
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: what day it was. And you know what, the front office,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: the very they're very much to blame in this too.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: They saw the collapse and did nothing, did nothing to
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: add to the guy. So you know what, if he
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: does get fired because this team is quote unquote underachieving,
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of people that are to blame, and
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: not all of it is on Rockabill Delly.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: No question about it. Aj the seventh year manager, disappointed
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: obviously with the eight and fifteen start. To Kratz's point,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: they didn't do a ton to add a lot of
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: things in the off season. They had the absolute collapse
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: at the end of the year, but they seem to
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: have picked up exactly where they left off this season.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: And this is a Central Division where we know that
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: the Tigers are playing well, we know that the Guardians
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: are playing well. We talked about the Royals trying to
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: write the ship at ten and fourteen. Right now, do
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: they do this sooner rather than later or do they
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: see how this plays out until I don't know the deadline,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: let's say no.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: They're gonna let it ride for a little while. I mean,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: they're playing the White Sox right now. It's not Roco
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Baldlli's fault that Chris Paddock just walked a run in,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: right There was two outs, nobody on and he walked
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: three of the next four guys and now they're down
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: two to nothing. That's not Roco's fault, right So, I mean,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Rocco has been there for a long time. They've had
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of success under Roco. At the same time,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: he wasn't given a lot of help, and that's not
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: an excuse for a manager. They still were projected, picked
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, to win this division.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: They're not performing right, they got swept. They just got
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: swept before they they played the White Sox. They won
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the first two of the series against the White Sox.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: They took two or three from the Mets. Let's not forget.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: So they're in a division though, that's still going to
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: give them the ability to get back into it. Can
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: they do it? I don't know, But I don't know
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: out of the managers that should be on the hot seat,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like Rocco's low on the list.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Compared to some other guys that have a little bit
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: more pressure on.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Does it matter to you guys that the team is
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: currently without Pablo Lopez, Matt Wallner, Royce Lewis, all of
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: whom are on the IL, and Eric Reining. Twin's MVP
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Willie Castro hasn't played in five days because of that
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: tight oblique muscle, so they're not playing. It's funny too,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: because it's like, you know, Korea is playing and Buston's playing.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: That's usually the guys that are on the IL, but
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: they have all these other injuries perhaps a factor in it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's all a factor. Ultimately, the beauty
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: of the big leagues is it's about getting the w
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: It's not about necessarily developing guys unless you're a brutal team.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Then you're trying to develop a culture. Blah blah blah.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: They're here to win. As a manager, you have to
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: figure out how to win. Royce Lewis goes down, you
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: got to figure it out. Royce Lewis was healthy last year.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: He didn't do great when he was healthy and played
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: that long stretch. You have to figure out how to
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: get the best out of the guys that are out there.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Even if the front office and ownership doesn't add to
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: your team, doesn't add to your payroll. You have to
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: figure it out. It doesn't matter who it is. It's
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: time to put up or shut up when you're in
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: the big leagues and wins and losses are the only
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: thing that matters.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's it. It's not the Clint Hurdle
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: when he was managing the Colorado Rockies, which by the way,
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: he's back as their hitting coach, because you know, Colorado
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: just recycles folks and is loyal to a fault. And
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I like Clint, but there was one time that he said,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: this is not the try hard league. In terms of
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the major leagues, so yeah, they got to get things
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: figured out.
• 29:38

  Speaker 3: All right, guys. Brandon Hyde was happy with the Orioles
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: effort after their four to three loss to the Nationals.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: I thought we played extremely hard. Everybody was into it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Nobody's satisfied with how we're playing. We're just a little
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: short tonight, but really happy with how we play tonight.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I guess that's a silver lining. But talking
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: about guys on the hot seat, Aju said that Baldelli
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: should be at the bottom of the list, is hide
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: at the top.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the people a lot of
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: people are talking about because they need to win. They've
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: had this great team, they went to the playoffs. I
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: love Brendan and I, but if you go to the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: playoffs tears in a row, you get swept and now
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: you're off to the start, people start asking questions. It's
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the nature of the game. Managers are hired to be fired.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: There's very few managers that go through their career without
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: getting fired. Terry Francona fired right from the Phillies, so there,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was basically fired.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: From the Reds the red box.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so I mean you're hired to be fired
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: as a manager. And when things go bad, the first
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: person the GM is going to say, because the GM
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to lose his job. Oh, the manager's not
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: getting the most out of them. Now, this quote, I'm
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: a little disappointed and old mister Hyder there because happy
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: with the effort. This isn't a try hard league, didn't
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: cross just say it. This isn't a try hard Like
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I used to tell my you know, my kids all
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the time. I can get a dog to try hard,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: but you know, I need somebody that can get it done, right, Like,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can get whoever to try hard, but
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I need someone that can get the job done.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: And there's no.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Moral victories in Major League Baseball. There's no moral victories.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: And what we do.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: You got to get the job done. I mean that's it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: So I mean this quote is a little disappointed. Yeah, great,
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: they played hard, they still lost.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: So I mean what happens if they would have won,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I would be like, yeah, go team, Like, I don't know,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: this is disappointing. He could have just you know, praising
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: their efforts. Nice, but let's get a win.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like this is like a Caprice sun
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: in orange slice victory, Like, oh, the team, they really
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: played hard, you know, like this is a bit of.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: A do you get run rule? Guys, shaking your head.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: You don't like it, because effort is the start of
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: your day. You have to go to start and play
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: in the big leagues. It has to be effort. Did
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: he mean this saying maybe we weren't giving as much
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: effort other days? But and that's this is this is
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: a character flaw of mine. I don't know how to
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: celebrate mediocrity. I don't celebrate like the things you should
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: do and effort in the big leagues isn't really one
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: of them, Like, hey, he gave it his best. Come on, No, no,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not about that. Everybody should give their
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: best every day, no matter what team, no matter what score,
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: because your career is this long. Take get the most
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: out of it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I love the front ends for these things. And an
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: MRI machine that's a little aggressive, all right. Ryan Presley's knee, guys.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Cubs closer Presley had his right knee drained last night.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: That sounds incredibly painful, manager Craig Cancel said, which is
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: why porter Hodge saved Tonight's seven to six win over
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: the Doyers. Every Bleyfield cancel hopes Presley will be available
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Friday for the start of a three D game series
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: versus Aphilia, So apparently if he thinks he's going to
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: be available. Getting your knee drained is not a big deal.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: You guys would know more than I.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Eric.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Have you had to have this procedure done? And what
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: does it mean for the Cubbies?
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: Never had it done. Talk to people that have had
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: it done, and it's not just an immediate oh yeah,
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: I'm back the next day. You get relief. But what
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: is called causing that inflammation? What is causing all that fluid?
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: That concerns me. But man, if you watch porter Hodge pitch,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: you're like, it's pretty good, pretty good. Second choice.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: Aj. I know you've said you've never had a cramp
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: in your entire life. Have you had your knee drained?
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Not for this.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: I did get hit one time in the knee and
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: they had to drain it because I got hit by
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a pitch in my knee and I had to pull this.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: It looked like pink cottage cheese. It was delicious. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: tried it afterwards. But they take this needle that's like
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: this big around. Seriously, it's like this big around and
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: they just go. I played the next day. It wasn't
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: like it was a big I'm not even played that day.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: It was in Baltimore.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Never had.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I don't care what producer that he says. I've never
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: had a cramp. I mean I had a stitch in
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: my side that she says that's a cramp.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: But he han't. He hasn't tried hard enough yet. So
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: once AJ starts trying hard enough, he just he just
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: I had to play at a different level. He was like,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: I can play at eighty percent. I never have to
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: cramp or pull a muscle. That's how good I am.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: He's very hydrated. Apparently. Blake Snell Guys was supposed to
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: be shut down for potentially two starts. It seems like
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: it's a lot longer than that. Dave Sam five seventy
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: in LA reporting that he was scrapped from his bullpen
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: session after he felt discomfort after playing ketch yesterday. Again,
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: he hadn't even been thrown off of a mound. It
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: was just some flat ground stuff for Snell. He's going
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: to be re examined when the team returns to LA,
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: which they should be back by now. Dave Roberts said,
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Dodgers have stressed big picture, so Snell doesn't pitch through anything.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Now we've discussed this at the beginning, if we thought
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: maybe Snell and Otani Actually I had talked to Ken
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: Rosenthal on Fair Territory about this, whether they were being
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: too cautious with Snell and Otani or you just figure, guys, listen,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: we don't need him really until later. What is your
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: take on Blake Snell being shut down? AJ, Because I
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: don't think that this team can ill afford for him
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: to be out that much longer.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: It's what the Dodgers do, right, They're very cautionary with everybody.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: It's kind of they're just want to be ready for October.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: So I don't know until I see here something where
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: it's more major than what it is. I think this
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: is them being cautious and they just want to make
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: sure O Tawani, Snell, Glass, now, all these guys are
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: ready for October. They believe they're going to be there,
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: and if they are, they want their best guys ready
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to go. So I don't know until until I actually
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: hear what's wrong until I see an MRI or a
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: cat skin or X ray or something with something that's wrong.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is just them being cautious to me.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: A lot of you. You've you heard all the talk
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: after the World Series, like poo, we were gassed, like
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: we went, we gave everything that we had from the Dodgers.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Think about a scenario where the Dodgers continue to do
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: this where they're like, hey, we're going to be in
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and they have to play an extra series.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: Think about that. If they're one hundred percent healthy, awesome,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: but that's what they're hoping, that's what they're banking going that, hey,
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: we're gonna hold him out, We're gonna make sure he's
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: right so that he's one hundred percent for the playoffs.
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: If they had to play an extra series, that's that's taxing,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: especially when you're talking about what Tim Kirchin was talking
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: about and having two openers one opener for the World Series,
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: like it drains on guys and they just have to
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: figure out if there's any team that can sustain it,
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: it's the Dodgers, but it would be a new it'd
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: be a new world if they didn't win the division.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: No, no question about it. I mean, that's that's what
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: this team is built for. Eric, you know that better
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: than anybody else. All Right, we're almost wrapping things up
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: here on Fould Territory. When we come back, we are
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: slapping some hands. Guys were slapping hands, and I just
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: told you I like money. I mean, who doesn't. They
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: say money can't buy happiness, it can in some instances.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: How about this money? Eleven Major League Baseball players. Guys
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: cracked the top of one hundred highest paid athletes in
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: the world, in the world from last year. This is
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: per sportco. You know what I find funny, guys, is
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: look at number ten on here, Anthony Rendon Bruh. If
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: I could get that type of job where I showed
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: up like once every four years and made that kind
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: of cash, that would pretty sweet, be pretty sweet. Two
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: La Dodgers, Max Schurzer, Aaron Judge, Justin Berlander whose al
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: two base? You got two astros on there, Mike Trout
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: of course, Jacob de gram Bartolo Cologne's current favorite player,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Corey Seeger se sauces on there. Garrett Cole of course
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: on the IL with the Yankees. Does anybody stand out
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: to you or does this surprise you that baseball players
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: guys top ten in terms of highest paid athletes. The
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: sport's getting more more lucrative. If you will, I'll too.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: It was surprised to me de Gram only has like
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: three hundred thousand endorsements.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: What the heck is he doing? You should have a
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: lot more than that.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: You look at Trout and I mean, Otani's in a
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: different planet, but you look at Trout and he's got
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: five million. You look at Jacob macrohm, he's got like
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: one hundred grand, and Anthony ren Dona has two hundred
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: and fifty grand in endorsement. So that's just stood out
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: to me. Not their salaries, but endorsement stuff. How now
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: do they know this?
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I just kept quiet?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: How does somebody how do How does.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: Aaron Judge only have seven million in endorsements?
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: No?
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: I think that's because some guys like want to promote
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: themselves and some guys don't. I'm actually surprised Mike Trout
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: has that many because Mike Trout is so private and
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: like so like humble. He doesn't want to like promote
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: himself in terms of like you know, how people talk
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: about having your brand. Mike Trout's pretty low key for
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: as big of a superstar as he is.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I would agree, Yeah, I agree, but annoying for Judge.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like somebody's missing the boat there.
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: Oh for sure, Mike Seven's.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Low Like, don't you think like Mike Trout should have
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: done something for Jersey Mike's instead of Subway. Wouldn't that
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: have made more sense Jersey?
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Mike, He's got a golf course and nobody likes people
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: from New Jersey?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Youlanna, So, I mean.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I lived in New Jersey for a hot second. How
• 40:14
