  Speaker 1: Last day in Bayama, I had the pro great conversation
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with Joe Carter coming up. You might grab John Smoltz,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: russ or Tees, those Giants fans out there, a little
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Braves Orioles Orioles, gosh.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I played against him in Triple A M H. Crats.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I played against russ Er Tees. He was in Fresno.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: I was I was twenty one, called the Salt Lake.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Everyone's like, oh we Fresno is the best team. They
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: had Armando Rios and Doug Mirabelly and rests or Tees
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: and all these guys that went on to be become
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: a big part of the Giants and other teams too.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But I remember they were like this russ or Tees guy,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: he's he's the best picture and his numbers were way better.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: And I faced him and I was like, it was
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the first time I had ever seen a guy throw
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: like a true cutter, like a four seam cutter, because
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: nobody really threw that back then. I got a hit
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: off him. I was like, damn, all right, I can
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: do this now because he was the guy. After facing
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the first time, I was like, there is I'm never
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: gonna get a hit off this dude, it was cutters
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: her ball, a little change up. He was. He was
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the best I had seen up till that point.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: He said he had some nice natural cut. We'll talk
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to him about it, so we'll save it. We'll save
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the rest of the combo. Obviously, we'll grab him live
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: after he's done here. One other shout out before we start,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: not on the field, but off the field, and bide
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: with the politicians. We might have one of the most
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: athletic politicians out there.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: To share a mark, to share so to say vote text.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's perfect if you're vote text in text.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. It's perfect. He's running for Congress
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and in Texas, which I listen. God bless you for
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: doing that. I wanted to do that, Joe Luck. God
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: bless it. That's all I'm gonna say, because that is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: not his job for the week for the weak minded.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: And he played baseball, so he knows failure. He knows
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: goods and bads and ups and downs. But you know,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we were talking off the air that there's been some
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: guys that have done this, but not the level of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to share a I guess herschel Walker would be the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: closest one. Yeah, that's a big name with the chero
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: made a lot of money. It was a multi time
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: All Star World Series. I mean the whole deal. He
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: was he was a star star.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: About Donold? Wasn't Honold? Wasn't he an athlete too?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Come on, come on, j bodybuilder?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about that one.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Any bodybuilder?
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, juicy juicy j Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, I get the labs. There's many selects.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm talking like I'm talking about an athlete
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that made it to the top of their game in
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: one of the big sports. I mean Barty Building. Yes, people, yes,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: but I'm talking one of the big sports. To do
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: this and to want to do this, and especially in
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: today's world, good luck techs.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Exactly. All right, Well, we got to get to our
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: reporter live on the scene, So let's charge the mound.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: There might be some tears.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Let's send it out to our reporter in Pennsylvania reporting
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: live on the Philadelphia Phillies as they return home now
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to take on the Braves set Citizens Bank Park. That's
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the bank that they prefer. The other one that sponsors
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the home of the Mets is a house of horrors.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Eric Kratz, Can you recap the Phillies Mets series for us?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The Mets played more gooder than the Phillies did. The Phillies, Hey,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: at least the last game they didn't even get Phillies
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: fans a chance to like get into the game. The
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: other games they blew the lead that they had and
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: then they couldn't tackle on or keep the guys off
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: off the basis, it was a it was a statement
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: series for the Mets, for sure. But you know what,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the Phillies are still up by four games. They're probably
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: gonna hang on. But Nolan McClain is throwing that sinker
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: slider combination that I don't know. To me, that's way
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: harder than trying to hit a hundred miles an hour.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: You don't know if it's that pitch is going to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: be a slider off the plate by eight inches or
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: it's gonna stay on the plate by eight inches. It's
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: just there's so much variance in that sinker slider. And
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: what did we say yesterday? What did I say yesterday? Boy?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: You know what the Mets would really need is somebody
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: to go over six innings and McLean's like, okay, Eric,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I'll listen to you. I'll go eight.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Here here McLean reminds me of a Schrollenbach. He's got
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I think he's got a little bit better stuff from
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: when he came up. But remember McLain was a two
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: way guy, right comes up setting the world on our
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Schwellenbach kind of did that until he got hurt. Obviously,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: he's been really good for the brave so position player.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Many pitches, many pitches can throw, strikes, throws hard. To me,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: he's a better version of Schwellenbach when Schwollenbach got to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the big leagues, and for him to come up in
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: this Pennant race. But zero point eight to nine era,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Viento's has been hot too. Let's not forget Viento's has
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: gotten hot all of a sudden. We have playoff Mark
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Vento's coming out of nowhere. Four games is still a
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: lot to make up. I don't know if they can
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: do it. Do they play anymore? They don't play in
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: city anymore, do they? No?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: They play another one in Philly. How many games? Krats
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: three or three more?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I think it's three more. I think it's yeah.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if they can make up those games.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: But yeah, It's a nice win for the Mets. It's
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: definitely sends a statement that the Phillies don't want to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: play the Mets.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Might be playing them in Philly.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but still I don't know the Mets. They're going
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to go into that that series with some serious.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Mojo, confidence, mojo whatever. I'm I can't wait to watch
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Jonah Toong pitch if. I mean, how many times do
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: you get to see two rookies thrust into a rotation
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: when the team needs it. I get it. The Reds
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: are falling off now. I think they're four and a
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: half back, so you know, maybe they don't need it,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: but this pitching stay if, in my opinion, needs it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Jonah Tung's gonna bring some serious, some serious funk too.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: He had I think he had like one hundred and
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: double a had like one hundred and sixty strikeouts and
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: one hundred innings.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: This guy is another athletic pitcher who's able to move
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the ball around the strike zone. And I guess give
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: him length. I mean, we'll see, we'll see. I mean,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: Mendy was like, just keep going out there. Last night,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: He's like, just go, just go, just pitch. What if
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: someone else throw in the ninth inning.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Krats. If you need to pay rent for your apartment
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and you're not getting anything for it, then you probably
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: haven't heard of Built.
• 6:38

• 6:40
  Speaker 3: get some points that you can redeem for other things

  Speaker 1: So if the Mets are within a couple of games.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: That could be fun. It's gonna be fun regardless because
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Philly fans are gonna be fired up, and we're be like,
• 7:42

  Speaker 1: Ten games now that the Mets have beaten the Phillies
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in at City Field ten.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And shooting the postseason lastion where I was there and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: they put that was the whole thing was Phillies were
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: favorite heavy over the Mets, and they want to New
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: York and got smashed because all the hope was that
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Wheeler would come back in Game five and save the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Phillies and it didn't happen.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Twenty one for thirty seven with runners in the scoring
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: position in that series. I mean, you can't do much
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: better than that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's as good as it gets for a three game series.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Five straight hits against Taiwan Walker to start the third
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: inning and it was on and.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Tiwan Walker is still a playoff starter for you.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: There.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Cratzy after his performance.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was the playoff start every four I
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: wouldn't say. I wouldn't say I was in that camp.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: But hey, he's had he's had. I mean, he has
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: given them some innings and he was willing to throw
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: out the bullpen earlier in this year. Like I get it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: He complained at the end of last year because he
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: wasn't in the rotation or he wasn't in the playoff
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Frost I mean, but to me, he's he's earned his
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: innings so far, and it's been huge for him because
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: they need it.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: If you give Northeast fans an inch of a storyline,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: they will grab no. Twenty miles of course, microphone signed,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: fake mics in the stands. It is on there. You
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: got to look at that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: A hanger.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Also, it looks like it's the top to a cake
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: or a.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Potat right, it looked like a tupperware.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tupperware. Very creative, parabolic, microphonest.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Fans have fun with you. Gotta get you gotta grasp
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: onto things. During the season, it's so long, so good
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: for you Met fans, Good for you Mets for sweeping
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: the Phillies. Now you got four games left with them.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You gotta win them all.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: A week and a half ago, Mets fans were like,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: we're going to miss the playoffs. So you know they
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: were going to miss the playoffs. I didn't, Yes you did.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Mets fans were like, we're screwed. We have no rotation,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we can't hit, we can't deliver with runners in scoring position.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: By the way, look at Juan Soto's last like ten
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: to fifteen at bats with runners in scoring position too. Actually,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: we have a beat on it. His last eleven played
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: appearances with runners in scoring position. Now half of them.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Aj is not gonna love but walked, yes, walk single walk,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: home run, single walk, walk, single walk, single single Right,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: that's his game.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Oh seven or sixty five million, you better do that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's sain and that really plays in the playoffs when
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the heat is is on and he just never gives
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in that bad a way sometimes. Yes, I know you
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: want him to swing outside.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Not all the time.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Just you gotta pick, You gotta picking. The team's not
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: hitting right, like, hey, you can you can do that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You can reach for one.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: It's okay to put the ball in play and get
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: a hit.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And yeah, run, it's not in his DNA. He's Vato DNA.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: It looks like Roman Anthony is gonna be like that,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and that's a certain type of player that front office
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: is drool over. So he's playing his game and it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: working right now for the Mats. So they take down
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the Phillies. Let's finish with this. Which seems better Phillies
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Phillies in the playoffs?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I just think they're better one through twenty six. I mean,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: if McLean in Manaiah and Peterson and whoever else they
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: get out their singa pitch as well, well we'll see.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, but yeah, I think that. You know, they
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: need Hellsley to bounce back. There's a lot more. I
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: feel like the Phillies are still a better team. Plus
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: their season, they've been through it so many times now.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I just think the Phillies are right now.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: But this could change in a week and Scott's still
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: picking the Reds to take the Mets out.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Now they're red They're done. It would be ironic if
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you say that and Kratz says the Mets. But let's
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: throw it over to Krafts our reporter on the scene
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. Which team is better?
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Really? I think the Phillies. I think not even just
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: one through twenty six. I think just the guys you're
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: going to go to in the playoffs right now are better.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Can Ken Sanchez have a stinker like he had last time?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Can Ranger stay out there too long and
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: give up the runs? Absolutely not. Can Jordan Romano pitching
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: the playoffs for him? No? Can Kyle Schwarber go oh
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: for I think twenty two in a series in the
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: playoffs against the Mets, No, absolutely not. But up until
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: that point, Kyle schwarberd hit a home run in fifteen
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: consecutive series, which is a crazy number to me. But
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: to tell you how how up and down he can be,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: he went oh for this series, and the fifteen previous
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: he had hit a home run. So I still think
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: it's the Phillies. But I'll be honest, I want to
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: see him. I want to see him face off in
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: the playoffs somehow, some I don't know what round, some rounds.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: You decide, fans listening right now, which team do you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: think is better, just straight up, which do you think
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: is better more of a threat to win a World Series?
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: To tick down a team like the Dodgers or the
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Padres or the Cubs or the Breweries in a postseason series. Hey,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Jamison ty On back on the injured list and Aberra
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Saide gets called up. Any concern there or should we
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: just be looking at Kate Horton, Like, Oh.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Horton's been Horton's been really really good. He's he's been
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: the real deal for a while now. I mean him
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: and him Naga Tyo will be nice to have there.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Sad was one of the guys that were counting on
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: until he didn't perform, and it was down in Iowa.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: So I listen, this is this is a blow for
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the Cubby Bears. But Horton's been so good. It's he
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: He's covered up a lot. They gotta swing it though,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: they gotta, They gotta get back on track offensively.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: I'm confused why I said is down in Triple A.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: I'm not seeing any last year to three seven e
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: r A and twenty nine starts this.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: He messed a lot of time.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's big to me.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: That's a big pickup. Then it sucks losing Tywn, But
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: I think a team like the Cubs, they don't have
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: enough depth to lose anybody. So yes, I think it's tough.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It's not the swing man too.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, he's pitching the bullpen. He started. They thought
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: he was gonna be really good there, so we'll see.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he had a moment, but.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: He's been up and down. If they had Justin Steele
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: would be different. We'd be having a different conversation with
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the Cubs, especially with Horton. You're right and show Yeah,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: if you go him and Nauga steel Horton, that's a
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: pretty good one two three.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That was the dream for them. He is powered by
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Arena Club. Oh hello, show hey TONI first time completing
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: five innings this year one run, two hits, two walks,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: nine strikeouts in eighty seven pitches against the Cincinnati Reds,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: a season high nine punch outs fourteen of twenty nine
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: whiffs on curveballs and sweepers. He didn't unleash that curveball
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: crats until earlier this month August sixth. Then he barely
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: threw it the next few starts and then boom. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: didn't get the final count yesterday, but just watching him,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I saw many You probably threw more curveballs and this
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: last outing than he did the entire year. So here
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: comes another one in the arsenal. I think seven different
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: pitch types in the first inning for him alone, scaling
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: seventy six to ninety nine miles an hour. When people
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: were like, oh, this is show hate the same, he
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: was in a little bit of a rut on the mound.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's like, actually, he's still building up to October, show
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Hey on the mound? Do you believe that?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Do Do I believe that? Yes? Absolutely, I believe it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: This is his eleventh start, eleventh start, and he's doing
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: it against big league teams. He's doing it against the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Reds team here today. Yeah, shadows might have been a
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: little bit tough to see, but this team, like this
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: is a team that was supposed to be good, whether
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: we think they're good or not. They were making a
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: playoff run and for him to go five, for him
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: to get through it in the amount of pitches he did,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: this is huge for this team. Yesterday we talked about
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: if Kershall should be if Kershall should be in the rotation.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Is Kershall gonna push show Hey out? Are they going
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: to tandem start? Who gets to start? Well, it has
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: to be show Hey or else you lose the spot
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: in the lineup. But what he's done to be able
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: to continue to hit like he has and pitch now
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: like he is. To me, he's on track from where
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers would want him to be able to be
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: ready to be one of their guys to start a
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: game in the postseason.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Sorry, there's a golf ball bouncing in the parking lot
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: right next to us. What Yep, no one yelled for either.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Someone's gonna start start yelling four. But yeah, this is
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: great for the Dodgers. Uh show Hey, getting back to
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: being giving them length. And this is this is the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: only option really for him to pitch in the postseasons
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: to start a game, start games because but we've we've
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: beaten a bullpend thing to death that he can't really
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: do it. It doesn't work with him being the d H.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if he wants he's going to pitch in
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the postseason, he has to start. And this is a
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: this is the steps in the right direction. He looked good.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: And by the way, let's not say, let's not pretend
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the Reds with the twenty seven Yankees, all right, or
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the bomb squad with the Twins a couple of years ago.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: The Reds have been good and it been alive because
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: they could pitch. They're mid team, they're mid offensively right,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: But it's still great to see him do what he
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: does because show Hey showcased all the pitches, he showcased
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the velocity, He did everything he needed to do, you know,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: continue to build up and they get him to one
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: hundred pitches. But then the question is you know inings limit?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Is he on an inings limit? Well, we'll see, but
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I just think that this is a good step in
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the right direction. But show Hey to pitch in the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: postseasons has to start and is he one of the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: best three or four starters I have?
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like he knows himself so well at this point.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He does something that nobody else does, and he recognizes
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: where the Dodgers are in their season. So yeah, you
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: ease up the innings, you ease in the pitches. You know,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: pitches cause more of a strain on the body, right
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: usually breakers.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: No, because sometimes people say the fastball when you get
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: to you know, you really put the torque on it,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: for the fastball is the one If we knew the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: answer to that, Scott, we tell people's stop doing things.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Do you think certain pitchers feel more strained from certain pitches.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: I think everyone's built differently. It just depends on how
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: you throw pitches. I don't think that there's one scientific
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: thing that says, because if you watch all this stuff,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: they're saying, you know, full effort puts so much strain
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: on the elbow throwing a fastball. And then some people
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: think it's when you you really rip the breaking ball down.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: You know, some people they said for years it's splits
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: for bad for an elbow because of the way the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: ball came out of your hands. Nobody knows. If they knew,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: they'd fix it. No way, he really knows.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Twenty three curveballs twenty six percent of his pitches. I
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: could have looked down at notes and seeing that he
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: had thrown eleven combined through his first ten starts, really
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: none for so.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: He mixed it out. Ever, he's feeling comfortable and he
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: wants to throw some breaking Balls's make good. It's good.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: The more he's got, the better.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: True.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Usually that's the case. I mean, unless you're Darvish and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: you have fifteen pitches and you gotta go down to
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: ten or something. But here's Alton Gonzalez with more information
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: on Otani and the curveball on that we're looking out
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: on the screen basically what we were saying here, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: just gave up the Noel B. Marte homer. Aside from that,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, this was the most impressive outing from him.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And then he had to lead off the next half
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: inning and was hustling back. Did you see him. He
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: kind of took a deep breath and then he was like,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: oh crap, yeah dug out.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think I think if you have another
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: good example, Shane Bieber took seven starts in the minor
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: leagues to come off with Tommy John, not saying they
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: had the same thing internal bracing Tommy John whatever, we're
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: splitting hairs, but he said he felt like he needed
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: all seven of those starts. He said may have felt
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: a little excessive, but he wanted to make sure he
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: was ready when he's in the big leagues.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Show.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: He's done this in the big leagues. He's built himself
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: up in the big league. So if you think Shane
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Bieber is an option for the Blue Jays, show, hey,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: clearly has to be an option.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: When you watch an outing like that yesterday. Kratz, do
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you feel differently about the Dodgers world series chances.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Differently, How did I feel about it before?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You tell me how did you feel
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: about them? And then how do you feel when you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: see an outing like that and think could this guy
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: be a number one in October? That dominates?
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Will he ever be a number one? I don't know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know if show he will ever be a
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: number one.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: He wasn't number one when he was pitching Ranheim?
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Was I think he's a one? I mean, my only
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: thing was you got to get back to the length.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: But now that you got to five, which is what.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Everyone's got to do these days, more throwing the postseason anyway,
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: last night, the question is is he one of the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: best four for the Dodgers? The Glass, Nell, snell, Ya, Momoto,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: and Kershall the way he's been pitching number one?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Line up their rotation. Okay, you've got you've got a
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: four game or a best of seven. You need four starters.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Who are your starting pitchers for the Dodgers? If they're
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: all intact here?
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Glass, now, snell, Yelmamoto, Show, Hey, and it kills me,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: kills me to not.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Have probably gonna be one. He's probably gonna start Game
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: one Yepylmoto. Then I would think they'd go Snell then
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: probably Glass. Now, then you make a decision between show
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Hey and Kershaw. I like I like Glass now.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: I like Glass on game three just because your bullpen
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: is rested from the day off after game two. I
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: like that because he can just go out and he
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: can throw his hundred pitches at one hundred and two
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: miles an hour in four or five innings, probably racked
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: up eight or ten strikeouts. To me, I think that
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: game that Game four is dictator who starts. That is
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: dictated based on how the series is. If you're considering
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: between Clayton and show Hey, I just don't know if
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: you can skip an entire series of not having show
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Hey pitch like if you can go game four and
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Kershall closes it out because Yamamono is not coming back
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: for game five like other teams, so they may be
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: the only team that needs five starters in the playoffs.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Ft FAM. Welcome to the World's most Comfortable Swimwear. For
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: a moment, we are talking about Fair Harbor. We actually
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: have some show and tell today. This is the liner
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: that you're working with inside of the shorts and the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: bathing suits.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You know what the best part is about this guy?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: What they have a lot of different options because these
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: are clearly yours because I would never order this pattern,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: but that is so mazing on that is so many
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: these are so you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Mine are a little bit.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: More plain than this, yes, but they are super comfortable.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: The liner. I love liner shorts. Some people don't, but
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: these liners are better than most that I've had on,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: if not all of them.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the best liner out there, no mash.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: All the above is perfect exactly. It's really good. You
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: got to give it a shot. Also, fun random fact,
• 22:53

• 23:13
  Speaker 1: at his most effective when he's got extra extra days.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting point. So maybe they do use all
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: five because that's the question with Kershaw. I mean, he's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: not gonna be out of the bullpen.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: No, right, Clayton starts are done, not on ros faster.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on the roster.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Even if he doesn't any starting, he's gonna start.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I'm saying he's gonna start. I'm not saying where he's
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: gonna start. But you can't you can't not have him start.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: He has to. He has to be a guy that
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: is in. You're not going to go to him. I
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: know we talked about Verlander last year, but it is
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: way different case. All Kershaw ever does when he takes
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the ball is goes out there and gives you what
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: is needed. I don't care. I don't. I don't like
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: the whole talk about posting he's in. Kershaw don't because
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I think the next start will always be his best start.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: To me, it's beyond postseason. Kershaw at this point is not.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Good moments in the postseason. Like early he was really
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: bad early, like but it's mostly against Saint Louis. But
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: he's been a lot better, I mean for a long time,
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: he said moments.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, does his stuff play against the top offenses the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: same way?
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Is there played against everyone every team's face this year? Yeah,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know who he's pitching against, but every team
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: he's pitching against he's been fine.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Now you want, I mean, you want the best stuff out. Okay,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: so I'm just so dark.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Show Hey, Piggybackershaw, I don't know.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: No, he doesn't. I don't think he'll there.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: He is against the team. He just so it was
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: so good the Reds.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: You're the one who's all over the Reds.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Our offense is not that good.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: If they could hit, they'd be a lot better because
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: their pitching has been really good.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, so five man rotation, a very rare five rotation
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna happen, because you're gonna want.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Even even believers. How is this working?
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know. That's what's gonna be fascinating to see
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: what they do with Otni. They now they might back
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Otani off and say, listen, Show, hey, you're at your
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: limit since you just had your second elbow surgery, and
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: this is that be their excuse to get out of it?
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Does Otany have to start or could you midgame him?
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: You can't because then you lose the DH when you
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: take them out. You can't do that that's the whole thing.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: You can't do that.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: He has to start or he does not pitch unless
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: he comes in and closes, and you just hope and
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: pray that he doesn't blow it. But they also haven't
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: done that. So at some point, if they're gonna make
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: him the closer, they're gonna have to start getting him
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: ready to do that. Because what happens if it's the
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: bottom of the they're in Dodger Stadium, it's game seven
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: of the World Series. Show, hey, hits a lead off
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: double and he oh, by the way, we're tied, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: he's the goal ahead run. He scores the goal ahead
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: run with two outs, and they're like, hey, show, you're
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: closing the night. He hasn't thrown. They can't do it.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Okay, they can't do it w your four bests, tough
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: guys in the playoffs. And if that's the case, you're
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: gonna sacrifice a reliever.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, we'll see that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Yama Moto can get an extra day in a four
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: game series.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah you want four?
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to get through a wild card round first,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: most likely, or like.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not keep playing a city the Dodgers.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: The Dodgers have the Dodgers have been to the postseason enough.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: They understand Dave Roberts was masterful in the use of
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: the bullpen. They understand their goal is to get twenty
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: seven outs each night. And to me, I think with
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: Kershaw and Showhey as starting pitchers, how it works out.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I think it'll depend on what round they're in the
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: three the three game wild Card series, or they get
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: a buye in the first round, whatever it is. I
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: think that's how they're gonna I think that's how they're
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: gonna deploy it, which is a bonus compared to last
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: year where they had to start two or have two
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: complete bullpen games. Their bullpen not in that kind of
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: shape right now. They may heal up by the end
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: of September, but not right now. They're not.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: And also, you generally are doing those bullpen games on
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a need basis. Yeah, and that was the case for
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: them and it worked out well enough. Yeah, all right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: ft fam, you know about Arena Club. We've shown you
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: a bunch of different options on the screen, including that
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: show Hey fifty to fifty card that I pulled. I mean,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: he's not going to do that again, is he? No?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Not this year?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: No?
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: He actually four years now. He's not getting stolen bases.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: This year, right, But let's say three four years from now,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: if he if he stops pitching eventually and he becomes
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: an outfielder, he might fifty to fifty again.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: He could probably get He could probably do it. He
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: could have done He could probably do it this year
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: if they'd let him run. But remember he hurt his
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: shoulder last year in the playoffs, and so they're very
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: leery of him doing anything to hurt himself. They need
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: him more just in the lineup. So if he only
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: gets thirty five stolen bases this year's still pretty good.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Years saving the team. It's crazy.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm holding onto that one. It might be
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: the only season of show a fifty to fifty cards
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: used to code ful foul for twenty percent off your
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: first slab pack or card purchase. Hey did you see
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: this article in the Athletic about the Bananas. I mean
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: there were two notable parts. One is they're trying to
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: get them involved in the Midsummer Classic, and two is
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: they kind of apologize for bringing up the golden at
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: bat rule. I'll comment on the first one. How about
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: you replace the celebrity All Star Softball game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: With a banana ball, Banana ball games, banana bolversus, like
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: the MLB alumni something like that. Yeah, come to see
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: that and try to get guys from the team they're
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: in Philly next year. They get a bunch of Philly guys,
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: you know Howard, Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins and Kratz
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: and Jason Worth and all those guys that that that
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: wanna that are Phillies guys. Now, you might have to
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: bring in some guys from other teams, but yeah, I
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: think it would be pretty cool. Get you get that done.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Pretty awesome.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: So know that anybody that was an ex All Star
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: could be the All Star alum game confusing. People back
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: in the game love him.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: They said, they don't have room for the banana game.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Stop celebrity game, the celebrity game.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Or have some of the celebrities participated in the bananas
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: know how to run it better? Yeah, we all know
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: that that they.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Quick and incorporate the heck out of some celebrities.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I'll bring up the Alex Corra quote about
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Roman Anthony. He's opening up a little more as a person.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: He's a cool kid. Sarcasm comes into play with him,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: which is awesome.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: We like it.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: It's been fun. We were joking that we unlocked the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: real Roman after he signed a big contract. That tracks
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: for some guys, right.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Some guys get comfortable. I mean, look at Schooble number
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Terrek School, nobody really knew who he was, and then
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: he went went off usher whens of Cy Young and
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: now he's one of the best interviews on FT and
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: and all around baseball. So sometimes guys just need to
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: be comfortable. Once they're comfortable, they let it out.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know that when you sign a contract,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you can basically speak your mind. Kratz. I feel like
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: we often have that conversation like, oh, pre contract, guy
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna be a little more team.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you don't want to. You don't want to
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: ruin it for that for that contract that could be coming.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: And you know, once you get a contract, especially in Boston,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: maybe just you say I don't want to play a
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: certain position, and you know they feel more comfortable to
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: be able to say that, right.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: You guys tell me. I think so. Boston media, Boston
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: attention in general can be tough at a high level
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: and tough and for the first couple of months, it
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, Roman Anthony, he's pretty quiet.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: You better be real secure in yourself to go play there.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: And then once you sign the deal, you can kind
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: of let it out. But until until you get a
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: little security you you have to really watch it because
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: they take, like we mentioned Northeast, they take any small
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: thing and make a mountain out of it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: I also think teams are looking at you and listening
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: to you.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Of course, they're always a value team, they're always a valua.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: But they can't evaluate you the same way once you sign.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: It's true, right if you're like some guys give me sarcasm, Yeah,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: it's like, well sucks you sign.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: They're like, this guy's awesome.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Usually I think it creates a better personality.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Sure someone right, most guys, it's not like, oh, turns
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: out he was a dick. Like it's like, turns out
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: he's funny. Turns a little bit now, Hey. Top blow
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: for the Milwaukee Brewers. We learned yesterday Trevor McGill hits
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the injured list with a flexer stream in his flexer
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: string in his right arm. We'll test for the bullpen depths.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It could be low grade and he was down playing
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: it a little bit.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: You know what this this means a rebate time, the
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: rebate tome Ariebey, Tom Rebay Tom Rebey time.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, that was worth the price of admission right there,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Kratz and aj doing the avenue Rebay. I like it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Our arms together aren't combined, aren't as long as his are,
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: so so it just looks different. It looks different when
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: certain people do differ celebrations. But this is this is
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: a huge blow. I get it. Every team has, you know,
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: knees their closer. Yes, they have a lot of depth,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: but this guy was putting together from the start of
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: the season. He had a little blip at the beginning.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Since then he's been almost unhittable.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Now this last week though, no, he had not this
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: last week. He's had a big blip. That's why they
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: were like, oh, had this past week. This past week
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: has been not good as Villa was down a little bit.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this is what they go.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he's able to make it back. Yeah, they need
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: him some teams and closers.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: Lately, someone had a funny joke, take a trade for
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Devin Williams.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Wait, Yankees could cut him. There's a couple of days
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to go to make that happen on. Yeah, you have
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: to be in an organization before the end of this month.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Today is the twenty eighth of August.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Dump deadline Scott's favorite day. Taking that.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: I think the dump deadline because people have been asked me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I'm the dump deadline guy. Now people haven't asked me.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: I think it's tomorrow because I think it's forty eight
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: hours to clear or to get claimed.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Name of a guy that's gonna get dumped tomorrow.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Scott Devin Williams. No, Oh my gosh, who's getting dumped?
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Anybody on the Rangers. There were a couple guys who
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: are free agents.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: The main one I thought was gonna get dump was
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: he Andrew Heeney. If he's if he's owed, like he
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: already got dumped. He already got dumped. I'm saying that's
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: that's what I thought, and I assume he was. He's
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: gonna get picked up by somebody.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Carlo Santana got dumped. That made sense. You're looking for
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: those There's a new.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Pirate who was the other pirate one? There was another
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: pirate one, Tommy fam He didn't get deadline dump.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I know but why not the good, the bad, the ugly.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: That's new. You haven't seen that, have you?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: No?
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that's for. What is what
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: are we doing here?
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: The new segment? I got that lady likes to create.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: I like the segments. So you liked it, Okay, Kratz,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: do you lead the charge? Clint Eastwood out there and like, yeah,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: uniform the good. I know what the good is. We're
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: hitting the Yankees for a moment because we did crush
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: them from their disaster weekend and praised the Red Sox
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: for owning them this year. They know how to rebound,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: all bends on who they play. You want to rebound,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: let me give you a week of the Nationals and
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: then the White Sox Yankees run line all day eleven
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: to two in the end of the series. The Kapper
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: in that one and yeah, they really found it again, Krats.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Did they ever lose it or did it just go
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: dormant because they were facing teams that were able to
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: execute pitches. I mean in Washington, Washington consistently hasn't been
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: able to execute pitches. They have been a team that
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: just kind of goes out there and they don't have
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of experience, especially with Mackenzie Goren struggling for
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: the last half of the season, three quarter, probably just
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: half of the season. The Yankees are just they're gonna
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: hit dingers, Like this entire highlight. I just had laugh
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: as the picture in that highlight, like just put his
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: head down. They hit dingers, and you talk, we taught,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: we complain about teams that don't hit dingers. They're not
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: gonna be able to do well in the playoffs. The
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: question of you guys that I have, can you hit
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: dingers to get to the World Series and win it?
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: What was the stats? Got? Always yells out there. Last
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: five teams have been on the floor.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want to steal it from him.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Then I think it's something that I think it works
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: because clearly they made it last year and people say, well,
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: they don't have one Soto and they don't have this
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: guy in the rotation. They don't coal, you know. I
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: think Max Freed is going to step up. This team
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: is a very good team. I think their bullpen. Obviously
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: some of the pickups that they've had have not done great.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: But bed NAR's in there, so to me, yes, Devin
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Williams is not the Devin Williams of last year. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: I think this team is ready to go. I think
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: this team will go through ups and downs. So could
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: you see that. It's it's crazy because you can't sit
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: there and say, oh, this team is going to be
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: in the World Series again, definitively. But you also can't
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: even though it's just a National Series. You can't sit
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: there and go all, this team's definitively not going to
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: be you know, they're gonna get eliminated from the playoffs
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: or they're going to bounce in the first round. To me,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I think, yo, it's one of those. It's one of those.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Like this staff or this tweet from Jack Curry, the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Yankees saw seventy seven pitches from the Nats pitchers in
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: their nine run third inning at Atlanta's. Greg Maddox, who
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: we just had on the show tassa seventy eight pitch
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: complete game against the Cubs in on July twenty second,
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety seven. That's crazy, that's crazy. Seventy seven pitches,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I think is the most since the stat Cast era
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: in two thousand and eight, and they did it in
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: one inning. Seventy seven pitches in one inning. That is
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: the stat that I was going to bring up, and
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: we talk about dingers. Yes, they hit a lot of homers.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: They work the counts, they make pitchers work. I don't
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: care if it was a Gnats, I don't care if
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: it was what team it was. If it's the White Sox,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: you have to win the games that you have to
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: win in front of you. Do they need to step
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: up in big games? Yes? Did they kind of fall
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: flat on their face the first three games of the
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Red Sox series, Yes, but they are a dangerous team
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: that puts together at bats and there's not some kind
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: of organizational overhaul that we need to go with. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: you know what, the Yankees, they're prepared for the playoffs
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: with the roster that they have. I don't know if
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: it's gonna I don't know how it's gonna go. So
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: if you're asking me to choose on the Yankees, I'm
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: gonna be the most fifty to fifty that I could
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: be in one spot. But this team hits dingers, and
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: dingers win in the playoffs. Yeah, that's what he said.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: That's what he said.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. Let's talk for a few minutes
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: about the Detroit Tigers. We got a quote from aj Hinch,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Well that's what he said as they fell yesterday to
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the A's. There it is. We had a really bleepy series.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Bleepy is a different.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Word, but what is a bleepy series? Is that like
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: good or bad?
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Should bleepy? Does that help?
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, we had a really should bleepy series. We didn't
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: play well. I just wanted to give him the contexts
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the bleep Okay, just making sure everyone caught that we
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: got beat in all facets. When you get out played
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: on offense, defense, pitching across the board, it's painful to
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: wait and painful to experience. As a team. We know
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: we're going to be better. Tiger's having a tough time
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: this week with the A's.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: World hottest team right now, the well, it's perfect sacramental, Yeah,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: because they're winning. Did I say easy over? How many
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: they wins they have now? Sixty three?
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they need about ten more for that.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: They're over under going into the year was seventy one
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: point five.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: That looks bad for a while when they lost like
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: twenty Have.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: You watched what the West Sacramento a is doing the
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: second half the last like five years, they like duck
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: suck s x x sick. Then they go really good
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: and then idiots like me think, hey, this is the
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: year they get over the hill, and then they suck
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: sux sucks x suck for the first even then they
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: go right like the right.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: So they might finish with what seventy five wins? Yeah
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: that sound right, something like that. All right, to where
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: are we out of the five years?
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Know, if if they're at sixty would I say sixty
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: two or sixty thre rehold on? If they're they're at
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: sixty three right now, and they got about twenty seven
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: games left, so they go thirteen and fourteen. That puts
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: them at seventy six wins.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: That's over where we added on the Tigers. They've lost
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: four games in a row.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Tigers are fine. Tigers are bored.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: That's what I wanted out of you.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: The Tigers are bored. They've got they're up eight and
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a half games, they're they're they're they're up eight in
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the lost calm. I mean they're bored right now.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Playing well, they're playing for home field.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Playing for home field, but they're gonna get the one
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: or two seeds. It's gonna be them in Toronto more
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: than likely with the one two seeds. So they're just bored.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: They're just we're gonna win the division. Let's just keep
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: everybody healthy. Yes, they'd like to find another pitcher to
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: step up. They need for thirty to get going. I'll
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: see him on Saturday. I'll let you guys know what
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: he looks like in Kansas City. But you know, school
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: has been good. School has been human though the last
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: few starts. But the rest of this team they're just
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: going through. They're not I don't want to I every
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: want to say they're going through the motions, but there
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: there's no urgency. But they need to find that again
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: before where the postseason gets here so they can kick
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: it in. Because this is what teams always say, Oh
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: we had won the division by so many games, been
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: a hard time ramping it back up. Well, now Hanch
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: is time to light a fire and get these boys
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: ramp back up.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: So Kratz, they play the Royals again for the next
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: view that carries over the weekend, and then they meet
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: up with the Mets. They'll be back at home for
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: that one to start early next week. Do teams opponents
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: good competition? Help to amp things up for a team
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: that can be in cruise control right now, or is
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: there something else that can be done? And does it
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: even matter at the end of the day. There have
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: been teams that have cruised into the playoffs and one
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: World Series titles. There are many examples of that doesn't matter.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna say no and then everyone's going
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: to turn our show off because they're not going to
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: listen to us talk about it. But I think it
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: does matter because I think different series mean different things.
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: If you watched if you watched Charlie Morton, I actually
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: watched both his starts when he was with Baltimore, and
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: when he came into Oakland kept looking at the mound,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: kept looking down like something's wrong with this thing. So
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: maybe that was part of it for the Tigers. Maybe
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: there's pitching staff didn't feel comfortable in the mound. If
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: you want to like bump up the bump up the momentum,
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: or bump up the adrenaline, go play a division opponent.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I think the Royal Series. While the Royals could sweep
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: them and they'd still be five and a half games back,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that they're going to catch them. I
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: just think there's a familiarity in the division and that
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: series will bring back the adrenaline if that's what the
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Tigers need, more than the Mets series, where the Mets
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: are a better team than the Royals. But I think
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: that Royal series anytime you play in the division, that
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: rivalry has been there the last few years. I just
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: think I think that's where I think that's where they'll
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: get their a little bump of adrenaline if they need it.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: You know, you don't want to limp into the playoffs,
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: but you also don't want to peak too early and
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: not be hitting on all cylinders. So the Tigers are fine.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I feel like you would have done something crazy if
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: you are on a team like this AJ just to
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: make sure that they're aware of where they're at.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: I've been on teams with big leads, and I've been
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: went to two thousand and five White Tucks. At one point,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: I think we had a fifteen game lead. They got
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: down to one and a half or two games against
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: when the old Indian Slash Guardians were there, and all
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: it took was them to come play us and Joe
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Creedy hitting a walk off homer and from that point on,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: we barely lost again and smashed everybody in the playoffs.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: So it just sometimes you listen when they play the Royals,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: they're in second place, they'll they'll they'll be there, and
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: then you know they have Flarty School and I don't
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: know who's Sunday, but I think that, and then they
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: get the Mets at home. They'll get back home. Plus
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: let's awso en not forget they went to Sacramno, it's
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: a triple A stadium with no atmosphere, no energy. And also,
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: if you look at it, this is not a knock
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: on the age, but they didn't have a good first
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: half of the times. Look at it and say, oh,
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: we can kind of coast through this one, right, and
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: it's hard to get up. Now they're going to Kansas City.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Kents City'll be rocking, they're in the division. Then they
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: go home for the Mets and there's gonna be an
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: energy in Old Comerica Park when the Mets come in.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: So this this will get them going again.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, Kratz, what would you do if you were a manager,
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: or we're a veteran guy in the clubhouse with the Tigers,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: if you felt like the team needed you know a
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Of this manager nothing. That's the players thing to do.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: If I'm a veteran guy, if I'm the if I'm
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: the Jake Rogers, the guy that's not playing every day,
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: if I'm me on that team, come in after you
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: just got swept out of Sacramento and you tell the boys,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: turn the music up, turn the music up, turn you know,
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: turn the page. It's time to get onto the next series.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: We're going into Kansas City. Kansas City, here we come play.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: It almost like tricks your mind to think, you know what,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: screw it. Sacramento did suck. The team came out and
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: they beat us, But the whole atmosphere walking out to
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: walking out the center field after a game that sucks, like,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: let's go play a big in a big league stadium
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: in Kansas City and beat the brakes.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Off of them, and do you have a chance to
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: knock a division rival out of the playoff picture.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: Nobody thinks about that.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: You don't care about that.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Rivalries to me, aren't what they used to be. This
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: isn't twenty five, thirty five, forty five, fifty years ago
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: where that really mattered because guys switched teams so much
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: more now that we used to be a thing. I
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: remember when I was in the Central we'd be like, oh,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: we got a chance to knock this team out or
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: knock that team out because we played like twenty times
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: a year. So you just got to the point where
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: you're like, I don't want I'm tired of seeing them.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see them again. Now they play
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: what thirteen times a year, which didn't seem like a
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: big difference, those six games are huge difference. They guys
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: just don't think like that anymore. They just don't think like, oh,
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: they're in our division, we can knock them out. Because
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: if you're the Tiger's your thing. We've we've are this
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: much better than the Royals. If they get in and
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: we have to play them, we feel like we can
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: beat them. It's just a different mentality.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about the American League playoff picture, Krats?
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna be one of those situations
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: where you look at the field and you're the National
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: League side. There's a lot of talent. The American League
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: side is definitely a notch down. I I just have
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: a hard time predicting results on the National League or sorry,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: on the American League side too. I mean, Tiger's really good,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: Blue Jays are really good. But could the Mariners slay
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: either of those teams? Absolutely? Could the Yankees take down
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: either of those teams? Absolutely? Could the Red Sox take
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: down either of those teams? Yep? What do you think?
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: I think we have to watch the rest how September
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: plays out health wise, how September plays out in you
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: know who's swinging it for what teams, and ultimately that
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: Wildcard round could help an American League team. I say
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: that because some of these teams, now, of these teams
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: are really like built to be just a juggernaut of
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: the American League, where that day off is giving them
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: the break that they need and they're just gonna be
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: fresh and go. It might be one of these Wildcard
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: series teams, the four they play in the wild the
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: three game series and the Wildcards, they might say, you
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: know what, we never even got a break. We're just
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: not coming up for air. We're just gonna keep banging
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: and we're just gonna keep rolling. So to me, I
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: think they're all really muddled. I think the six teams
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: that are gonna be in the playoffs for the American League,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: they're all kind of muddled, and it's gonna be a
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: matter of like Game one and Game two of playoffs
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: before I can really decide who I think is the best.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: There is no clear cut favorite in either league for me,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: not just the AO NL two D ed all teams.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like we're on a better level talent wise
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: and just one thro six depth wise for the for
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: the organizations. But I don't think I don't think you
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: can go right now. We had this conversation where we said,
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: do you take the Dodgers of the field. If you
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: take the Dodgers of the field right now, and you
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: would say the field right almost everybody would say that sure.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: And if you win the American League and you said
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: you'll take the Blue Jays or the Tigers in the field,
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: would you take the field?
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, So then there's no clear cut favorite this year,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: which is great. I love it stuff.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm talking this up. I'm asking this in a
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: good way where I'm looking at both guys.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: There's you can make a legitimate case for any of
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: the twelve teams that gets in the postseason to win
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: the whole thing.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: And how often can you do that?
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I didn't happen a lot.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's not as frequent. You usually have better tearing.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, this year, it's like everyone's everyone has their
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: pluses and everyone has their holes. There's not just that
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: one team that's super team. You're like, oh, if they
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: get hot, nobody can beat them. Because even if you
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: look at the Dodgers, if they get hot, there's still
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: some holes there that you think you can exploit as
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: a team. So but then again, if another team gets
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: on and they take out the Dodgers, the Phillies or
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: the Mets or the you can make a you just
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: could make a compelling argument for.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: All these people that's wrong.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: I thought you had a bug on your shoulder, so
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I was going to help you. I have.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: Usually it's kind of something you're probably used to seeing at.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: This Did you get eaten by a lot of people?
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: I do. It's weird, you see it, right, there's proof.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is for me, And I
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: know someone might have mentioned I didn't mention Houston. We're
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: talking about all the teams in the playoffs when I
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: was just benched, Houston.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Seattle, all of them. Yeah, I mean the Cubs. You
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: can make a case of the Cubs to win.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: You can make a case for the Brewers. You can
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: make a case for the Phillies. You can make case
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: of the match. You can make fase of the Potters.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: You make case of the Dodgers. American League can go
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: all right through them, Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays,
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Astros and Mariners. All twelve teams that are going to
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: get in the postseason. You can make case they can
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: all win the World Series.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: That's why it's so tough for AJ to put together
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: as power rankings. Crats.
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: So those are the twelve boom run them down.
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: In that order. You heard it here first, AJ order,
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: put them in order. Write it down, Claude.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: She's busy. See it's working hard behind the scenes, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: not even big days.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Big days.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're back in studio on Friday. I'll
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: be at studio a J. MyD father would be in studio,
• 50:21

• 50:56
  Speaker 2: been unreal these four days that we have been here.

  Speaker 1: on our territory. I asked him after he felt he
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: loves felt territory.
• 54:25

• 54:32
  Speaker 2: I heard him.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: It's true.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: I heard him. I heard I heard him.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was like, what we got a minute here?
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: So A J and I were inside prat yesterday.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: A J.
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: And I went into the locker room and hung out
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: for a while, drinks with the guys.
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Well exact locker room.

  Speaker 1: We said hey. Immediately he did act like you know,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: he knew us. He immediately got into.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: How he nobody cares. No one cares one thing about golf.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Don't talk about every show because nobody cares. Like your fantasy,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: nobody cares.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Nobody cares less about your fantasy team than everyone.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: Uh so, I said, are you coming on the show, Tony?
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: And he said what show? I said, foul Territory. He said, oh,

  Speaker 2: Great show. He actually goes great show show. As he
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: was running from Scott the stalker that.

  Speaker 1: Was not stalking, I was not moving at all. I'm
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: not a starshruk gy. I truly do not care.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: I just like to not one person competition.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: There's not one person who would be Scott's guy or
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: girl that you'd like to meet.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: The only time I was starstruck was more about the
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: physical presence. It was when I was probably twenty three
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: ish freelancing, working in media, and I was with a
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: media scrum doing an interview with Shack. And it wasn't Shack.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: It was just the size of Shack.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Check.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Large is a different kind of large, right, A large
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: kis a large kid like okay, nas Mohammed is basically
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the same as height wise.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Shack is way bigger than not, but not taller. Here's
• 56:15
