  Speaker 1: Here we go a depty live bron, Kratz and Krizinski
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: doing the show as we will do every year on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: nine to eleven, which is a very special day in
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball and one of the most important days
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of remembrance really in the history of our nation. You know,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: we believe in freedom, and obviously baseball played a small
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: part in helping New York and our entire country heal
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: during that time back September eleventh of two thousand and one.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: So you know, of course games across the country there'll
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: be a moment of silence and a lot of honoring
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: those that were lost and you know those obviously that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: are morning from that time period. But guys just wanted
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to start the show obviously saying that we believe in freedom,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: one nation and screw any terrorists that tries to get
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in the way of.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: That great I mean, I was playing Major League Baseball
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: when September eleventh hapned twenty four years ago, and it
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: was one of the worst days in American history. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it should never be forgotten. It should never be pushed
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to the side. It should be remembered, and it should
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: be talked about. And there is no room for violence
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and there is no room for anything. You know, whatever
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you believe in, it should be we should be able
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to have conversations. And I'm sure we'll get into it
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: on my game tonight on Fox September eleventh, with all
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the things that will be happening in Cleveland here, but
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I was in Detroit. It was a sad day and
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it was one of the worst days that I can
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: remember as a major league player, sitting there getting phone calls,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: watching it happen on TV and things that are happening
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: in today's world. With what happened yesterday, you know, there's
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: no room when people are speaking and talking about things,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and you know, a podcaster gets basically assassinated on for
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: no reason other than giving his beliefs. It's not where
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: we should be. And if anything's on September eleventh, we
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: should look at each other and say, hey, why can't
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we all just get along? And I think that's where
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we're at, and it's a sad day, but it's also
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: a data should be looked at in a positive way,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: meaning we should all look at each other and say
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: we can do better than where we're at right now.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: And it's something that brings the country together. Obviously I
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: never show my hat forward till the end of the show,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: but I was honored to be able to wear the
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: NYPD or the FDNY hat, the NYFD hat that we
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: wore on September eleventh as a Yankee, and I got
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: to go see the monuments that are set up now,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Like it's something that affects everybody, affects everybody differently, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: when we stop remembering it and we stop commemorating it
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and remembering the people who sacrifice for it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: That's where the issue is.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: And I think it's something that baseball is intertwined in
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: that so many stories around nine to eleven and nine
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: to eleven getting back to or baseball getting back to
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: some semblance of reality while there was still things going
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: on in New York is something that I'll always remember
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and every day.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I'mber every September eleven, if we remember.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: This, President Trump's going to be a Yankee stadium tonightnine
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: or at nine to eleven. I think we just need
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: to make sure we're thinking about the right things on
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a daylight today and keep talking about this. Baseball obviously
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: again played you know a little part in helping people
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: heal back then and hopefully can continue to do that.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: All right, I remember it, yeah, I mean, I mean,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: I remember the first came back. It was unbelievable. After this,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: we were in Detroit when this happened. We were at
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: the hotel and I remember we had to get back
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to Minnesota. I was at the Twins at the time
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and didn't know what was going to happen. It was
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: scary time. We couldn't fly because all the fights were grounded.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: We had to bust back to Minneapolis from Detroit. After
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: we played, we played inner squad games in Detroit. The
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: hookst ourselves in front of nobody at Kmerica Park because
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: nobody knew what was going to happen, if we were
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: going to have a season. And then let's not forget
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you know, President Bush taking the mound there in Yankee
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Stadium the first day after September eleventh and doing what
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: he did, and and just the moment it meant for
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the entire country and how the country came together. It
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: was a big moment. And I think that we, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: sometimes need to look at them and say, hey, we
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: need to whatever, you know, we need to come together
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a little bit more and listen, we're not a political show.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: We know that we're a baseball show. But if baseball
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: helped a little bit, and after this terrible event, that
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we should all be able to look out of twenty
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: four years later and say the same thing.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the crazy part, twenty four years later.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So there are a lot of young people out there
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that really don't don't have, you know, stories, and maybe
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: don't know enough about what happened. So that's what we're
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: here for to mention here today at the top of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the show. All right, let's get to some baseball charge out,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: so guys will start in New York and AJ the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yankees got smacked by the Tigers.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're covering quite a bit of Yanks
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in the past few days. And also we learned about
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the whole vulpy shol thing today too, which we can
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: get into. But I would like to start with the Tigers.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: The Tigers have the best record in the American League
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and they are playing for something right now. Number one,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: they're playing for a bye in the first round and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: they're well on their way. And number two a team
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: with a very good home record that played well the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: last couple of games on the road against the Yankees
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: would also like to have home field advantage in the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: American League. They are sending a statement. The last couple
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: of days.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: They are they're beating up on the Yankee bullpen. The
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: starters have been fine for the Yankees. It's been the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: bullpen major problem, whether it's walks or hits. Like it
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: was last time, it was just hits. They just got
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: hit around. They got whacked, but the night before was walks.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: The start okay, But the Tigers are sending a message
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and right now they're the one seed in the American League.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: They have the best record in the American League. And
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: as of right now, the American League goes to Detroit
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: and the Yankees can say whatever they want and you
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: know about this or that, but at the end of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: the day, the Tigers right now are showing a better team.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: The Tigers won the season series for them the first
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: time in twenty eleven, So the Tigers are it right
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: now in the American Definitely.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I mean the Tigers needed to have in my opinion,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: it needed to have a showcase series like this where
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: they ended up doing what they did and it was
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: in different ways like normally when you look at playoff
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: teams and they're playing better teams. It's like, ah, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: if you can't beat them your way, then how are
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: you going to beat them? Haven't needed Trek Scubel to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: beat them. They've taken their walks. When the bullpen came in,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: they've annihilated the ball when the bullpen came in. To me,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: it looked like the Yankees weren't one hundred percent matching
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: up very well with the moves that aj Hinch was
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: making or the way that the Tigers line up with
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: structured And I'm not saying it's a boon thing. I'm
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: saying it's a like, how do how do the Yankees
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: line up? The Yankees have a lot of questions. They
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: came through a stretch where they are winning a lot
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of games. Then they play the Blue Jays. Everyone's like, oh,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: it's a good team. You're not gonna be able to
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: beat them. They won two out of three, and this
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: is another test for the Yankees. What do they learn
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: from this series and how do they remember that when
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: they face them in the playoffs. If they're able to
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: advance to the DS to face the Tigers.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: How much do you like the Tigers in general Krafts.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I mean last year, this was the shocking storyline down
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the stretch around this time where this team looked out
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: of it. They sold at the deadline. That includes Shack Pliardy,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: who's now back with the team. So it all comes
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: full circle right now and they currently hold the best
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: record in the American League in the middle of September.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So how scary is this team in your mind?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, they show they have different facets, different ways
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: of winning. I actually picked the Tigers last year to
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: beat the Astros in the first series because I felt like.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: When you have a ace.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: Like Trek Scougle, you can go out and you can
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you can beat a team quick in a three game series.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I think they're a better team than they were last year.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Are they good enough to withstand kind of a slow stretch.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Are they getting hot coming into the playoffs even though
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: they're going to have that buy maybe you know, home
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: field advantage. If they can keep this up, that's gonna
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: be my biggest question. Again, the American League is not
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: that great compared to the National League, But I think
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: right now, I don't know if the Tigers are still
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: the best team in the American League.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: They have the best record, and I don't have a
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: concrete reason of why they're not the best team. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: just see too many teams. Blue Jays were doing really good.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I love the Mariners, and then they started going off,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: and then the Tigers are back up. I don't know
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: if the Tigers are the best.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Time for your weekly Arena Club segment where we see
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: what AJ pulls from a slab pack and we go
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: pull a little Emerald pack this week. AJ looking for
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: something big always.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I'm always looking for the big thing. Next big thing's.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Got big money, big money.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Baby.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: We've got a Dave Winfield card from nineteen to seventy four,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: seventy four tops card from this Emerald pack. Estimated value
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: three hundred bucks. You could sell it back for two
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: seventy sold sold. I feel like you are into more
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of the current players. Would that be accurate?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You like legend In my showroom, I have a Robin
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: you out, I have a Griffy Rookie card.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I think that's true.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: So I mean I have some older vintageer players.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Bob Gibson, Oh yeah, you have Gibson, So I know.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I disagree Scott, But Dave Winfield for that amount of
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: money back. I'm reselling it.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And if you want to get your own pack or
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: new card, you can get twenty percent off your first
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: slab pack or card purchase at arenaclub dot com. Slash
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: foul for me aj, I think the Tigers will go
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: as their starting pitching goes. And I know this sounds weird,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: but it's one thing to do what they did for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: half of the postseason last year, but to go the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: distance and actually win a World Series, generally you need
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: at least three good starters, right, I mean, Dodgers won
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: last year. They were rocking some bullpen games, taking some
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: l's at times, but.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: They still had They still had some starters. Though they
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: know I'm saying thing. It wasn't they did.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: That's my point. Yeah, they still had.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Thirty was a huge for him, Yamamoto pitch all for him.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it wasn't like they were completely naked
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: out there. They had some starters.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: That's my point. So my point with Detroit is it's
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: one thing to get through a short series and for
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Terrek School to be Trek School, but if you're going
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: to actually win a World Series, you do need in
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: my mind, usually three starters and they have that capability
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: right for me, Schoobl of course.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And then Mice, Casey Mice. Let's not forget about Casey Meyce.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Casey has been really good for him this year was
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: an All Star I mean Jack Flairty, but eight and
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: thirteen of the four to six nine that shouldn't be
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: that way. I'm sorry, but he's great because he was
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: motivated last night because he was going to get a team.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Then I don't fail it's physical. Casey may is fourteen
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: and five of the three eight e R He's pretty good.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: It's not like he's he's pretty good. He made the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: All Star team, the suvers the one to one for reason.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Casey Mees isn't isn't a schmuck. And then you obviously
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: you have Schoobl who's probably gonna win the cy Young Again.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: The question is is if they get into a seven
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: game series, this is where they got They get caught
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: sometimes this seven game series because when you have to
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: use your bullpen as much as they rely on their bullpen.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: I guess Charlie Morton would be the guy. If Charlie
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Morton's is most healthy, would be their fourth guy. But
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: he's been pretty good the second half or since about
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: his first five starts, so they get trouble and they
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: have to use it over use their bullpen. They have
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: to be able to use their start and Schooble flairy
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: mice is a good reason to start with. And then
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: if you have Charlie Morton, you do it. But then
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: you know you have Schooble coming back in game five,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: as long as you can line it up that way, right,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: if they go into a five game series and they
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: win in five, Scooble has to pitch game five, well,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: then and they win, then they have to go to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: seven game series. Well, then you don't get Scoble to
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: game three or game four. That's when it can catch
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the Tigers.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's my point is I think you've got
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: three names that you might feel good about, and if
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: those two names after Schooble perform, well you can make
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a serious run. I'm not on the Morton, but I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: think it contributed innings, but wouldn't feel comfortable about him
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: starting a playoff game. I know he's had some good
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: outings right when he got dealt over there some crappier
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: addings lately, but at least three starters that you feel
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: pretty good about if you're a Tigers fan. Let's get
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: to the Yankee side of the equation here. Of course,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the bullpen gets smoked the last couple of days. Kratz.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right to the storyline about Bulpy. I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: know we've been talking about him a lot, but this
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: is fresh news. Joel Sherman reported that he was given
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a shot in his left shoulder, the one that he
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: heard pop in May, and then Brian Hook added was
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: a cortisone injection, and when Aaron Boone was asked about
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Bulpey's shoulder yesterday, he called I'm a very tough kid
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and a gamer, adding he doesn't believe the shoulder has
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: impacted Volpi's play quote. I don't think so, but I
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: guess I shouldn't rule it out. Of course people are
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: jumping on it like May, and like was the shot
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in May? And why is this coming up now?
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: What ivopie say? What ivopie say?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: It's a prime It's a prime case of what he
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: what did he say? Is he going to play through it?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Guys play through things all the time. Guys maybe sometimes
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: in their detriment, not always like their playing ability goes down,
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: but like something else gets worse, you know. So yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: look like when when stuff like this comes out and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: it's that it's happening in May, fans are going to
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: be irate about it. But you're also you it's hard
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: to take somebody out of the lineup when they feel
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: like they are one of the better players or the
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: best option for that team in that situation, You're going
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: to play through things like anything like Volpi did a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: lot of really good things since May too. Did that
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: cause his eighteen errors? Did that cause his you know
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: slumps and swinging? I don't know, this is a hymn question.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Why don't we hear from him about it?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Oh? You know the questions they are going to be
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: coming in hot.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Right totally. But I know Chase Utley, and I've brought
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: this up before. He had major knee pain, played through
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, he had major hip pain, played through it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: They won a World Series and he ended up needing
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: needing stuff done to his knees. What exactly he got done?
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: But they said because of playing through the hip, he
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: caused knee issues. You're talking about a guy that could
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: have been a fringe Hall of Famer that if he
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: had been able to sit out get the hip fixed,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: maybe it wouldn't have led to the knee stuff. Maybe
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: he would have had more of a long, productive career
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: instead of just a long career where he kind of,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you know, was a role player at the end. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: that whole season nobody knew about it. They won the
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: World Series, So that was a successful decision. If the
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Yankees end up winning the World Series this year and
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Anthony Volpi has anything to do with it, him not
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: getting shoulder surgery or him playing through the shoulder pain.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: It's worth it.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: This is the reality of sport of baseball, and I'm
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: sure it's every other sport. Guys play through things. Sometimes
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: it affects their play, sometimes it doesn't.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: We just went over an extreme case of this. Sean
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Murphy needed significant surgery on his hip. For years, it's
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: been a problem and then it escalated lately and he
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: finally said uncle and got it checked out. Hey, we
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: have a tweet about Brian Snitker and AJ did you
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: play for him or you were Freddy Gonzalez when you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: were with the Braves.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: No, I was there when snid first came up. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: was a Pittsburgh when he won his first game. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I was there, so I played for him for not long,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: but for I don't know that season. He came up
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I think in May and he was there till the end.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: So that was my last year. By the way, yesterday
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: was my last game nine years ago. It was an anniversary,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: so happy anniversary.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: That was September tenth. Was it your last day?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Nice?
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Happy anniversary?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Thanks? How many of us canna say we got
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to walk off hit where we won the game? Like,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: oh wait, except Dancy Swanson didn't score from second oops. Sorry, sorry, Dance.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: We need to bring dance me on to talk about that.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting for that conversation.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: So you gotta hit, that's fair, you gotta hit. Yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I got a hit. But I thought I thought Dancy
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: was hot. You know, it was fast, but apparently not.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. Whatever, It's fine. They were
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: trying to hold me down. It's cool, but yeah it
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: was great. Listen. I didn't I didn't love Snid I'll
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: be honest, Like it's stin. I've had conversation about this.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't love Snit. When he first came over, he
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: was overwhelmed and he didn't really know what he was doing.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: He was kind of put in a terrible spot. They
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: wanted to get rid of Freddy and they brought Snid in.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: But he did a really good job and he's been
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: awesome since. And I have nothing but respect for Brian
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Snicker and what he's done. He's won a World Series,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: he's been in the Braves organization for forty nine years.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: He should get the right to go for fifty next year,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: and I hope he does. I hope he does it
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: because fifty years in one organization is absolutely incredible. So Snid,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: come back next year. You guys will be better. You
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: won't have these injuries. And if you come back, you
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: can prove Claudia wrong than us. She thinks you guys
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: are gonna stink again.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the news was he doesn't know what he's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: doing yet, but it sounds like he doesn't want to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: end his career as a manager with this kind of season,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm thinking one more year. We are longtime fans
• 17:49

• 18:48
  Speaker 1: finally gave up. I look too big? Here we go
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: or all this Chapman finally gave up a hit. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: don't run a hit. Obviously gave up a run too,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: AJ But we've been covering this for a minute. First
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: hit allowed since July twenty third, that was she Langeleier's
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and then Lawrence Butler later walked him off. So ra
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: all this Chapman after months, proves human.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: It was gonna happen. It was gonna happen. By the
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: way I saw this, fifty consecutive people retired. There was Walks,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: and we had this conversation. Yeah, it wasn't fifty it
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: was fifty consecutive outs without a hit. Like, let's get
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: it straight, because I remember Barley and Bobby Jenks at
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: one time had the longest consecutive batters retired streak of
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: all time. So like, you know, it wasn't fifty consecuted.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: It was fifty guys without getting a hit, which is cool.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he was on fire. He was gonna give
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: it up eventually, everyone does. I mean, the greatest of
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: all time have given up. Mariano Rivera's given it up,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Trevor Hoffin's given it up. Cosse last year gave it up.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: It was a great run and he's still one of
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the best pitchers, if not the best reliever in the
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: American League. So yeah, the A's finally got to him.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: They's somebody finally got to him, and it took a
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: couple of hits and left on left for Butler. Good
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: good for him, man.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the lull Dog was definitely, I mean, that was
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: that was a tough app But tie ball game. It's
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: like one of those things where it's like closers rarely
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: do well in when they're in the game and they're
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: losing tie ball game, it feels like sometimes that's when
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: they give it up. But also like you're gonna give
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: it up. You're gonna be the You're gonna be the
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: goat for saving the game, or you're gonna be the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: one that is forever. Remember that's the life of a closer,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: and that's the only life that champions lived.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Let's say better than box scores and recovering the Seattle
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Mariners and they are back on track. Guys, as expected.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: You just need to get home, get home, pick up
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: some walkoff dubs. So Leo Revas in the bottom of
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the thirteenth gets the job done. First pitch dinger maybe
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: not a name that most of you know, but the
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Mariners players seemed to speak glowingly about him and how
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: happy they were that he came through. I think the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: funny part for me AJ is he was practicing bunting
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: leading up to this ab behind the scenes. Actually, we
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: do have a clip of him talking about it, So
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: let's do that first and then we'll react. I was
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: trying to bunt, but they tell me, don't bunt, just swing.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I was just trying to move
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: him over and I didn't even see.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: The first basement was so close. So the guy hit
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: it in there. You know, if you know, it could
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: have been worse. When did you get the signal to
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: swing away?
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Why you're in the batters?
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because like every probably every time in baseball
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: in that situation, you.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Had to bump, Yeah, every time. Even I was trying.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I was practicing bund in the case though, well, while
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they were on defense, I was trying to make bunny
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: all right, let's see thet's see. And then they tell me, hey,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta swing, just.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Move them on.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like, that's crazy. That was that was amazing. Yet
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: that's cool and a J While you react to this,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: we can show the photo of how close the first
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: basement was to Leo Rivas when he was given the
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: green light.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: It was awesome. Yeah, I mean first basement. Wow, that
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: is uh, that is right in your face. I don't know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: is that Contreras playing first right there? Who is that
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: playing first? Right in? Contra suspended though? I thought he
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: got suspended or did he appeal? Did he appeal his appeal? No? Yeah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: it was Contrara's Yeah, that is too close for comfort.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: And you know what, they weren't expecting him to go deep.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: He hit a homework. Good for him, man, good for
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the kid, and in a huge pen or raise people.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: This is These are the kind of things that if
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: the Mariner is going to make the make a run
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: and make the postseason to make a run, it's it's
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: a bats like this that people remember forever. So good
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: for mister Revos. And man, I would not have been
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to controllers because I would have been like, this is way
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: too close for comfort right here. Geez.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: I mean they just they said, hey, you're gonna you're
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: gonna take away the bunt. Well they did, and Revas
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: for everybody out there, kids, he was told to get
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: get the job done, get the runner over. That means
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: he has to pull the ball on the right side,
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: which also means you gotta catch the ball out in front.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: What happens when you catch the ball in front, Sometimes
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: it goes out of the ballpark. But exactly what AJ said,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: there's gonna be fans in Seattle no matter what kind
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: of run they make. This is a playoff season. It's
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: making memories for fans. They're gonna be like, oh man,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: what was it, Louis Revas, Louis Leo, Leo Revas, Leo Revas.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, that was my guy. Ooh.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: He was like twenty seven years old, barely made the
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: big leagues. He was twenty six, Like you remember stories
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: like this, and it's nights like this thirteenth inning.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: It was so sick, it's crazy. We entered the month
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: AJ looking at races that were me in terms of
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: who's getting in and who's not. And the National League's
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: getting more and more interesting. On the American League side,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: we've been covering Texas. That's probably the best shot of
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: sneaking in past not necessarily Seattle. Seattle's one game back
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: of Houston, so they've got a shot to catch them.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Texas is right there too. Texas just swept
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the Brewers. So it's amazing though. How a week ago
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we're like, oh, the races are done. It's all about positioning,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden you're like, hmm, could
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: some team sneak in the National League. One is the
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: one that's crazy to me because they went from the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Mets were what five four, five, six games up no
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: long ago, and now it's two and they don't have
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the tiebreaker. We just had Will Salmon on he's he's
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: got to be sweating. The Mets got to be sweating.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: We love Mendy, but man, I think if you if
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you ask him for real, Mendy's sweating a little bit
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: right now. And I don't know how they turn it
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: around because their pitching is so banged up. I don't know.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: But they got to get out of Fielladelphia. They need
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: to win today in Philadelphia. They got to win tonight
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: on Fox. Kenny Rosenthal be there is get their good
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: luck charm. He can he can give him some good
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: luck and maybe he can find Grimace and they can
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: hang out together. But they got a win tonight in
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Philadelphia and then get some start seconds and wins. Matt's
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: nada gimmick. Matt's neda gimmick. That's it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: That's last year.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Last year they had like six gimmicks, the pumpkin Grandma's omg.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: They got their best guy going. Listen. They got the
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: guy who's been the best for them all year. They
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: got Peterson going tonight against Lazardo and Lozardo's been good,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: but Peterson's been their guy. They they got to win
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: this game tonight before they where are they going? Then?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: They got Texas coming in with the Grom. They get
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: to Groham tomorrow so in his homecoming to New York.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: So they need to win tonight. They need to win
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: tonight because tomorrow is Tong versus the Graham, and I
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: would think he would like the Graham's chances tomorrow night.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Hey guys, what do we have on Paul Skian's getting
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the load management situation? Yesterday pulled his team ultimately loses.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: The Oils are pulling a bunch of walk offs lately.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: But he had eight punchouts aj and they only let
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: him go sixty four pitches. I mean, their season has
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: been over for a long time, but I guess they're
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: just trying to keep him in check to get through
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the end of the year.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Why why not just let him roll, let him see
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: what he can do so next year he can build
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: him up again. I mean, geez, it's not like he's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: struggling this year. He's got a one one one, what's it,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: one nine one nine.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: First this year? Yeah, yeah, this year, one.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Nine two this year in one hundred and seventy eight innings.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, let's let's look, let's let him get a
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: couple more. I mean, he probably has the cy Young
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: wrapped up in the National League, but it would be
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: cool if he could get to two hundred innings and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you know how many of her strikeouts he has and
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: all those numbers, Because it's just an awesome story. The plairates.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: You have one thing going for you right now. You
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: got one thing going for you right now, Pittsburgh, it's
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: all Schemes. Let him ride. Let's ride.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no. They know better. They have handled
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: pictures in history. They have handled pictures so much better.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: And everybody else they have kept them all healthy. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: know what they're doing. There's no way Paul Schemes could
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: have survived two more innings of pitching. There's just no way.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I'm sure it's it's just the best thing for them.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Baba Chandler.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: What what did? What did? Well? Bubba Chandler got hit
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: his first start, so they're probably never going to start
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: him again. Oh my, I can't, I can't, I can't.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: That was all sarcasm.

• 28:41
  Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are gaining some separation here in the division.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: They're up three games on the Padres, and it's time
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to remind everyone about tie breakers. They're really up four
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: games on the Padres because they won the season series.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Tough loss for them yesterday. They brought an Adrian Morihone
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to try and pick out a what was it four
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: or five out save, ends up giving up a couple
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: of runs. Although I will say it's not like the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Reds torched them. They had a couple bleeders that went
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: through for them, but that's that's how the game works.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: They got them. They had the bunt hit plus the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: two bleeders. Abbott was great on the Red side, Nick
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Povetta pitch well on the San Diego side. But AJ,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: it looks like the Dodgers are going to take the division.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: I don't. I don't really think we're too worried about that.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: But here here's my here's my real, my real question.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: The night before they threw Suarez Ann Miller, so they
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: were shut down. I know they have an unbelievable bullpen,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: but sometimes you got to save bullets, you know, and
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: last two nights ago they didn't, and then that led
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: to more hone having to do what he did. So
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm not fully into their bullpen management,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: but sometimes they don't exactly. Sometimes I think make sure
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: just goes for it, and there are times where you
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: got to take a step back and say, all right,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: we can win this game, maybe without using all of
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: our bullets. I don't know.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a lot of na yesterday, a lot
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: of not available from the big boys.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: It's all part of this is this stuff comes. Everybody
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: has to be when you play a bullpen game. I'm
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: not saying that's what they have to play, but in
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, most likely that's how they're set up, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: everybody has to.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Be on one guy.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: One guy has a little hiccup playing against another playoff team,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: it could spell doom.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is big news out of Baltimore for those
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: frustrated Orioles fans that have been calling for the job
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of the leader of their front office. Think again. He
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: actually was promoted before this season started. Michael Elias is
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: now the president of the team's baseball operations department, and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: they are looking to expand the front office and hire
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: a general manager underneath him. They've already been expanding, as
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: they added an assistant to the general manager who came
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: over from the Washington Nationals, their scouting director, Danny hasp
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: But let's start with the big portion of the news here. Aja.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely dominated talk shows in Baltimore as
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the season fell apart pretty quickly. They're like, is Michael
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Lias going to be working on another off season for Baltimore?
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: How about a Hell? Yes, he's actually promoted right before
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: this season started.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: How come this is just coming out now? Though? That's
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: what I want to know. They wound out, I know,
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: but why why is this not? Why is this not
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: talked about all the time, like Whire's front office salaries
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: in front office contracts kept so secret, not just in
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: baseball but in every sport. If players contracts should be
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: out there, so it should be front office team people,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: and so should presidents and all that. I don't understand
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: why this is such a secret and it's coming out now.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: But Michaelias is the power and he ain't going anywhere
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: anytime soon. People, So I hope you like him.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: What if GM gets more leeway into making a little
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: bit better signings in the off season, spending the money
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: that the ownership has given you a little bit better
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: than they did. I know they missed out on a
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: couple signings that they didn't ultimately go and use their
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of money for. It was a lost season.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Do I think Michael Lias has done better for this
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: organization than worse?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Yes? I do. Do.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I think he should be an unchecked resource of free
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: agent signings. No, his history has been developing talent. I
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: think they have developed talent. I'm not going to argue
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: is it this most amazing talent ever? No, I'm not
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: gonna argue that. But you have to get people to
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: get across the finish line. And hopefully as a president
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: of Baseball Operations, he's willing to ask that question of
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: his new GM whoever, whoever that is, and whatever that
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: role's going to be, is he going to ask that question?
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Hey? Am I doing this right? Should we be looking
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: at something else to make the big league team better?
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: I think the GM is just going to be a
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: helpful component to the way the front of office operates.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: The GM's not making the final call on anything big.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: That's the president and the owner.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: But that's why.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: But that's why teams like the Rays, and I know
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: the Rays are small market, but everybody sits there and goes,
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: we want to be the race. You want to be
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: the raise. You have to get your ego out of it.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: How many times do we hear ego come into play
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: with the race? No, because there's there's just that's how
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: they operate. Everybody has a say. Ultimately, there's decision makers
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: in the end, but everybody truly feels all the way
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: down to the third hitting coach, the assistant to the
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: assistant hitting coach, has a say if they feel like
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: there's a margin that they can get better, if they
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: feel like there's a player that could be brought into
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: to fill a hole that that they that they aren't
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: able to fill in the roster, to make the big
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: league roster better. And that is what, in my opinion,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: the best teams do that have the best Yes, it's
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: still hierarchy, but everybody, everybody's feelings and decisions and once
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: and desires are are at least heard.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I think fans should be entitled to knowing, yes, what
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: the money looks like, but even more importantly, what the
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: years look like on contracts for significant front office executives.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: AYJ what if the Oriols have another down year and
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: missed the playoffs next year? But maybe Michael las signed
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: a five year contract. I have no idea. We don't know.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: As far as I know, it didn't say anything in
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: the article. This was Ken and Ken, Rosendald Bridgeierli and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the athletic doing a great job of it. But we
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: So why do we not know? That's what I understand.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Why do we not know? Why can we not Why
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: can we not find this information out? Why would they
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: not tell us this information? It's the same in every sport,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: though it happens in every sport, everything sport you follow.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: They're like, oh, by the way, so and so signed
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: a contract extension last year. Why the hell didn't we
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: know this when they signed them. Why don't they announce
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: these things? Why do they Why do they keep these secret?
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: That's what I want to know.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: The oriol season, there was there wasn't a time they're like, hey,
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: we're gonna announce this the end of April, when we're
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: leading the American League East.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, when we get.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Hot in May, that's what we're gonna announce it. It's
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: gonna have a hot stretch, couple walk offs, all right.
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Here we are in September, we had four of our
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: last five wins or walk offs. We gotta announce it. Now,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: we've got to tell somebody.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: They didn't announce it. I mean, Ken and Britt found
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: out about it, probably because they're searching for a GM
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and then the GM's like, oh, is the president going
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to be there long term? And they're like yeah, I mean,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: or is Michael Ayas there and they're like, yeah, yeah,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: we're hiring someone below him. We locked him up to
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: a promotion before the season started. So this happened before
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: the season started, Crafts. I mean, even if it happened
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the day before the season started, announce it. I don't
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: think it did. I think it happened in the winter.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Don't do this with players. Players don't. Players don't get
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: contracts and not talk about it. I signed a contract
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: extension in the middle of the season. One time. They
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: were doing it that day. They couldn't wait to announce it.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Why don't we do the same.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: Well, that's because that's because players are the only ones
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: that make any money in baseball. Owners don't make any money.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: Front office doesn't make any money. That's how they want
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: to keep keep painting that picture so that the public
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: only thinks the players are the only millionaires in baseball.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Right. Well, I can guarantee you it's at least five
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: million bucks a year for him, and I know the
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: top end. It's what ten, twelve, fifteen something like that
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: for the top end guys. Yeah, in the front offices.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: So they're doing okay, and their jobs usually last much longer.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Besides a few superstars, their jobs usually last, you know,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: quite a bit these days. I mean, Michael Isias is
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: a perfect example. He entered in the middle of a
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: super tank. Aj. I mean the first two full seasons
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: were one hundred plus lost seasons for him taking over.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And that's fine. But this team tank for half a decade, Yeah,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I mean not on.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Purpose in a different way.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they years.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: They didn't win a playoff game. They didn't win they
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: didn't win a ah one ah, they didn't win ah
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: playoff game. No one they had the best record, didn't
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: win a playoff game. So didn't they have this year?
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Like wow, okay, oh they made year.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: They made a lot of moves in the trade deadline
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: last year to really fortify that team.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Right, they got Trevor Rodgers their ace. I'm flipping on
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: that one, but I get what you're saying. It did
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: not work out for them last year with the moves
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: that they made.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Who's responsible for that?
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Because not like the Orioles were just hot all the
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: way into the trade deadline and they're like.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, we don't need anybody, we are good to go. No,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: they were already kind of swooning the leather, kind of like, ah, like.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Somebody help us here, get us a big piece. We
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: got Trevor Rodgers, who we ended up sending down the
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Triple A. Look, let's like a good trade now Stowers Stours.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Would you rather have Stowers or rod because right now
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: they're out there they didn't hit neither, but but their
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: outfield ain't hit neither. Right, if they had Stours all year,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: would he have helped because he's I mean, I know
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: he's hurt, but I mean he's been hurt, but like
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: he was banging before he got hurt.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: They need starting pitching though, that's the problem. Here's my thing, guys.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: It wasn't the answer at the time.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I have the answer, no doubt.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Out and made the trade. Guess who was available this offseason?
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet. Guess who they didn't go get Garrett Crochet
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: because they wanted controllable starters. What the Red Sox do?
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: They went out and got Garrett Crochet, and thank you,
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Red Sox is Kyle Teel looks like he's gonna be
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: really good my drafts. Looks like he's gonna really help
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: this team for the White Sox coming right. But the
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Red Sox gave up players for a guy, and then
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: what do they do? They signed him. This is what
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the the Orioles haven't done. They went out and got
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Corbyn Burns. Now, Corban Burns end up blowing his elbow
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: out this year and that looks great. But they didn't
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: know that at the time. But they they had Corbyn
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Burns and they just let them walk, right. They were
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: looking for controllable guys. Why do they gotta be controllable?
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Why do they have to be Go get the guy
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: that you think will help you win play off games
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: and get you the playoffs and make a deep run
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and then you know what, if you like them, re
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: sign them. Don't just let them walk out the door
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: for a draft pick.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: They did that the year before with Corbyn Burns and
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: it definitely helped them out. Yeah, exactly. They did that
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: with Corbin and I mean, you didn get run support
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But here's my thing, guys, if I'm
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: the owner of the Orioles, next year is the year
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: we either make the playoffs or we don't. That's what
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I would be saying if I'm the Orioles owner, Right,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: we make the playoffs, even if it's a wild card spot,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: it's on an easy division. Okay, miss the playoffs. Someone
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: else should be running the front office. But the vibes
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: I'm getting here or that somebody just got promoted, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: probably as many years left on a deal. So this
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: is the part that I think is interesting for Orioles fans.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: This season is this season already, it's over, It's been
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: over for a long period of time. But next year
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: is the make it or break it year for many
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: people judging this team. But I don't think it's actually
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the make it or break it year for Michael Lias anymore.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Kratz.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: No, but this ownership, what kind of information is this
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: ownership going on? They the ink was barely dry on
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: the contract for buying the team, and then they signed
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: him to a new extension, like, hey, you look like
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: the best guy to run this organization. Look at all
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: you've done. They may have signed themselves into something that
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: they didn't really know what they were getting into.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. Okay, Well we're reels fans.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: If you're catching a GM do you wonder how to
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: be a great GM slash president of baseball ops. Get
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: real tight with your owner and convince them it's always
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: going to be another five year plan. Oh this, the
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: these didn't work out. Give me five more years and
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I'll figure it out. Give me five more years. That's
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: how that's what the good ones do. That's how you
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: stay in a place for a long time, even though
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: you might not have won for a while. Oh man,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: not my players are Oh someone so made that trade.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: It wasn't me. Da da da da da. And then
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: you get five more years, five more years. I want
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: to be a GM because that way I can always
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: get five more years, five more years at seven million.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I'll take that sign me up. Please give me three and.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I'll win you a championship? What what GM is? That's
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: that's all I want?
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: A GM.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: I'll win you a championship. You won three in three years,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: I'll win you a championship. You know you might you
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: might not do it, but you know what it's gonna be.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Like my playing days, I'm either I'm either gonna hit
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: it and it's gonna go hard or I'm not. That's
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: that's what you're getting. So what what ownership is signing
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: up for?
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: That?
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Every ownership would sign up for that? Would you like
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: to be the GM of the Nats? Maybe the Rockies?
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: Three years? I'll give you three years with the Pirates.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Win me a championship. Oh my gosh, h with that pitching.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: But you got you get the payroll they have. Okay,
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: that's it. You're gonna win it. You're gonna win that.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: You're gonna win the National League in the next three
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: years with the Pirates team the way they're constructed and
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: they're paying, there won't be there won't be a single
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: prospect left in the organization. I'm pushing in because you can't.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: You can't, because you can't trade everybody because you don't
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: have the payroll. Yeah, but you can.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: You can convince your owner to pay the guys that
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: for for the one year contracts, the one the one
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: little hey we need we have the pitching. We have
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: the pitching. Three years, you could do it. You don't
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: think you can turn it around in three years.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Not with the payroll, not unless the payroll goes way up.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I said, with the payroll they have now, you could
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: not win a championship in three years. The Rockies ain't
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: winning a championship with the payroll they have. The Marlins
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: ain't winning a championship in three years with the payroll
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: they have.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: You can trade your prospects for pre ar players to
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: try and get by that way, but.
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: Then that you're just giving up prospects for more prospects.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: You need proven guys. It's the points. Yeah, does have
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: one year. If you're gonna give up three prospects for
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: a guy with pre arm for one year, whatever it takes,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: whatever I take. The Marlin needs some veteran guys.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: I take the Marlins or the Pirates over the Rockies
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: because the Rockies, the Rockies, they spend more money than
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: both of them. But everybody's they've they've a culture of like, hey,
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: you know, we can't win, We can't recover all this
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: stuff when there are people that have had success there.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: I just think there's the structure of the Marlins and
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: the Pirates right now. You could build a team around
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: those pitching staffs. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe you know I'd be.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: I'd be now with a thirty five million dollars payroll
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: like the Marlins. If you can't win, I'm sorry, you're
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: not winning the National League. Get you can have Sandy,
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: you can have Perez, you can have whoever you want,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Jansen Junk, you can check your junk all you want.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: You can have all these guys. But in three years
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: from now, all those guys are gonna be up and
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: you won't be able to afford to a sign. So
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: you're gonna science trade Sandy for three pre ar guys. Great,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: and two years are up for arm and you won't
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: be able to afford them. So you got a trade down.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: It's a constant cycle. That's why you need more than
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: three years. And you also need owners of vack you
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: and it'll be great. I'll be out in three years,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: will you They have done it? Or we won't. I won't.
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: I won't be lying. I won't be to me.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: I think guys who are saying give me five years,
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: they're lying to themselves, and they're lying to their ownership,
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: and they're lying to their fan base.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Go hard or go home. That's my slogan, which reminded me.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: I worked with someone once when I was at the
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: league at MLB Network and their whole thing, I think
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: it was an off season like maybe four or five
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: years ago, was like I would rather be the GM
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: of the Pirates than the Red Sox, and like, obviously
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: half of it was trolling, but the other half was
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: just like the way he backed it up was so stupid. Yeah,
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: it was one of those moments where I'm.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know who that is, but I wouldn't.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't Brian Kenny said it, I don't care. I
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: mean I'd said it to him when he said it,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: like I saw him at the office. I was like,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: that's just a brain dead take that. I was like,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: that makes us sound stupider as a network.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, I thought it was an ex GM.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: I would say, if that's what a GM would say,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to be a part of that. Your job,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: yes is to like invest in people. Yes, it's to
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: make incremental changes going. But you have to see the
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: vision of going to win a World Series and what
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: that takes. Sometimes it takes swings and misses. But a
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: lot of times, if you know what you're doing and
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: you have the people in the right position, you're gonna
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: freaking kill it and you're going to You're gonna make
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: way bigger strides for an organization than you are saying
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: slow and steady wins the race.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was when I think it was when Charrington
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: signed up with the Pirates and he's like, oh, I'd
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: rather run this team than the Red World Series.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: Charrington won a World Series with the Red Sox. Why
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: because he had players? What do you do? The year
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, Johnny Gomes, Mike Napoli, Ryan Dempster, Shane Victor Reno.
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: I went out and signed all those guys, right because
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: he had money. Pirates did they signed this year? No offense?
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Tommy Fam Who else they signed? And one guy they
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: signed as a free agent other than Tommy Fam? I
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: can't think of Okay, okay, tom no offense? Right? The
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Red Sox the year they won look at who they signed.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: You're that offseason name. I just named a bunch of them.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: That's why they were good, right, And they had Bogarts
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: coming up, and they had all these other guys that
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: were already there that were you know, Lackey and Lester
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: and those guys that were already there. But they had
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: to go get those guys to come in and finish
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: the team off. Plus I had David Ortiz making twenty
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: five million. Pirates don't have that guy. Pirates ain't gonna
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: get that guy, and you ain't gonna convince Bob Nutting
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: to spend that money. So yo, hell no, that's one
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: of the worst takes I've ever heard. Yeah, would it
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: be cool to be pirates and try to build, Yeah,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: it'd be cool. But the end of the day, you
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: ain't winning. You ain't winning unless you spend money. I'm sorry.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Don't be employed somewhere and do a mediocre job. Be
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: employed somewhere and absolutely kill it. That should be your goal,
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: GM or a Burger flipper, that should be your goal.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: But they're trying to do this craps. You don't understand.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: If you don't have the tools, you can't do it.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: If you're a burger flipper. You ain't got no spatula.
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: You can't put the burger.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: There's a minor league take. I think he wanted less
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: pressure in fit person, not Ben Brian. All right, let's
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: slap We got Todd Father on with us tomorrow, Kratz.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I think one more shout out. We saw your hat
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: for a very rare occurrence at the top of the show,
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: but you want to show it one more time at
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the bottom.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: Here had I worn on September eleventh, in the last
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: season that I played, got the opportunity to wear it,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: and don't look into the nypd f D. Whatever it is,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: it's a hat that gave me, so I'll wear it
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: in remembrance, and it's really it's a special hat for me,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: and I feel honored to be able to wear it.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Trying to see if I can pull off a question
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: or two from the chat with the extra couple minutes
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: that we have. I should have thought of this before here.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: I'll bring up Boo in the chat. I don't think
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Orioles pitching moves last season were that egregious. Brattis, Rogers, Rodriguez,
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Wells and Kramer solid enough rotation those other guys were
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: just stop gap measures. Agree or disagree.
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: Was Bradish hurt to start the year or that was
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: the question over the last few years.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: I think he's talking about heading into this year.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Wells and Bradish were going to be out the whole year,
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: So you were running on Grayson one hundred percent being healthy,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: which he hasn't been yet. To me, that's not how
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: a team that goes all in to win, Like you
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: collect six starters to start the season. You make sure
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: you have six starters. You did it last year you
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: went out and or the year before you went out
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: and got Burns to solidify a rotation that had Bradish, Wells,
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Grayson Rodrigez. So if you felt like your rotation at
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: the beginning this year was better than the previous year,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: I feel like I have an argument there.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: But you know, maybe I don't understand the question.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's what he means.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, Charlie Morton, Charlie Martin, you sign to be
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: a stop gap. You signed Chicano to be a stop gap.
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: Maybe you get something out of him. You can't say, man,
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: you know, you know we're missing Tyler Wells and Bradish
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: for the year. So we're gonna get a cy young
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: performance from Grayson Rodriguez. Rogers is gonna return to be
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: exactly what we thought he was gonna be. No, like that,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: like that didn't happen. Yes, is he's doing. He's nails
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: right now and he looks like a piece moving forward.
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: All four of those guys in a rotation next year
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: is awesome. You need to go and get somebody because
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: you have the position player grouping that can win a
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: World Series and they have to step up to But
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: to me, the front office needs to step the team. Yeah.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were some down years. I mean even Gunner
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Anderson this year, fine, last year, MVP, Like you know,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Jackson Holliday has definitely taken another step, but he's not
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: a star yet. Colton Kowser dealing with some injuries this year.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Like there's names here, obviously athlete. We covered his step
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: back yep. But yeah, I mean it was something at
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: least we all agreed on on the show. Not enough
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: TLC with the rotation. We didn't like the moves that
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: they did make, they did spend here we are they
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: have a chance to rewrite it. You're gonna have the
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: same front office at least for this year, so you'll
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: see if they can fix things. We will see you tomorrow.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: If you're with us right now and you want to
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: get a little Dodgers take from Alana and Clint, then
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: go for it. We'll flip you over to Dodgers' territory.
• 50:46
