  Speaker 4: Over the next week or two.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Was talking about how the Alonso does it and now
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Nima's doing it, and Nimo was making sure that he
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: was allowed to have it in the on deck circle.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Meanwhow kind of a weapon, but you definitely can't.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: It's weird looking to see it, dude, just swinging a
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: sledgehammering and on neck circle. But it's also very lumberjackballer crats.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I like it. It seems like something that you would do.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when I was at the Phillies, they had a
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: piece of rebar, like a thick piece of rebar and
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: big piece Howie would was the one that would just
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: like he hadn't he would just swing that John around.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It was it was hefty.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I never got into that because when it was my

  Speaker 1: turn to come up to the plate, it was like
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: time to go play. All right, here we go, Panic, panic,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: What can I do? What can I do?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sledgehammer, that's sick. They gotta name it. They gotta
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: name it like Milneir or something.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: The only way, the only way to use that you
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: have to swing down with it.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You can't swing up with that. It's too heavy.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: So it actually makes me happy knowing that there's still
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: tom Amanski and Drill swinging down chopping tree.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: So I appreciate that respect that Cratzy I like it.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: I can see Crouch trying to swing up with his sledgehammer.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I do it, I do it. We used to.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bought I bought a sledgeammer one off season.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Good fourum workouts, he wrote, Yeah, I mean it's I

• 2:35
  Speaker 3: or something like that.

  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But he had a funky he had a funky way

  Speaker 3: off there, but there was there was something. There was
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: something to that. I'll find it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: This is good.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: We talk about something here the top and maybe by
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the show, I'll figure it out.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: In the middle of the show, we have drama in Boston. What.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: I can't believe it. I'm shocked.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Their pr is so tight nothing ever gets out.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Uh, just kidding, charge.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: The mount.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: HM.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: First off, they're not playing well, so that's a story
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: within itself. Twenty nine and thirty four on the season,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: The freshest news Todd Father is a little hehaw before
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: today's game right near the uh the turtle, little action,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: maybe a little fight over who's got a better fungo.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't We don't know the exact details of it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: It looked like there's a couple of words exchange. Garret
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Crochet was in full UNI ready to go for BP,
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: so I'm sure.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: News will come out.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Look like maybe a coach or two was having a
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: little argument there too as well, as we're seeing on
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: the screen there guy almost tripped over the matt right there.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: You know, little argument, no pushing and shoving, really holding
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: one guy gets held back there with the backwards hat.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: But you know, you never know this Red Sox need this.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: They need to get some kind of spark going. Man,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: they've been struggling, so maybe this kickstart him a little
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: bit in the right direction. And the angel say, you
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: know what, We're gonna keep rolling here.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Red Sox space coach jose Flores, by the way, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: just wanted to throw the name out there. Krats versus
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: the world trying to do is a mere Garrett impression.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Josey Flores and Ta Tyler Anderson kind of had a
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: little they were they were jawing a little bit and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that's what kind of started it. And Ta, I don't
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what happened, but Tyler Anderson was like no,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he was like looking down on the first base coach
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Haesy Flores walked away. Barry in right, Barry has it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can you can never or you can
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: never trust those redheads. They got a little they get
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a little heated under the collar there, and he was
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: once you see coaches do this one.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Get out of here kind of thing. That's when that's
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: when you know, you.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Know the old the old heads, the guys who aren't
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: playing anymore, that's when they're real heated. But did you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: see how big If we watch that video again, see
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: how big Garrett Crochet is and no teams wanted to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: trade for this guy. He km's walking in. He looks
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: like he looks like the enforcer. He looks like he
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: looks like a w W E wrestler compared to everybody else.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Watch him come in at the end here and you're like,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's Veritec with his weird, weird like arms
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on his hips and there's Garrett Crochet. He's like, I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: a unit. Look at that full uni. He's ready to go.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: There's my guy Yoshi, who's the smartest man in baseball.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Yosh is the he knows fluent Japanese Spanish. Everybody was
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: out there, we're getting a little fungos. Everybody's a little
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: hot on a collar when both teams aren't very good.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Also, it's Wednesday, Gyre Crochet has a lot of time
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: on his hands. His next start is scheduled for Saturday
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: against the Yankees.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: So hey, you want to.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Mix up the week a little bit, Todd Father, get
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: involved a little pregame.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: How you doing?
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: That's what's going on.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: They need it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: It might happen on our show. Every once in a while.
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: Kratzy keeps acting up. You know, we might have to
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: have a little little huha here, So be careful, Kratzy,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: keep your mind straight and arrow. All right, get the
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: mustache off. Thank god, that was a big plus for you.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: So we're good to go.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Now, Let's put it this way. If you're not hiding
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: away in some hotel, it would be over with. We
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: wouldn't even need to talk about it. You'd be bleeding
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and then we'd have to take a commercial break. All right,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you're not in my weight class. You're not even in
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: my weight class. Mustache or no mustache trimmed for your Yes,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Network time. You're not in my weight class. You're you're
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: in a You're like a B League B League fighter.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: All it takes is one of these.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Break that break that broken sum of yours.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: See how nasty he gets Scott.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: You know, on a Wednesday afternoon at Femway Park, you're like, hey,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: we're not playing well. Other teams like we're not playing
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: well either. Want to fight about it? Okay, that's what's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: happening right now. Let's get into the Socks. So we'll
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: roll a few tweets out here. Let's start with Chris
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Catillo about Alex Cora, socks manager said he had a
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: different tone and a pissed off one and said we're
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: not getting better. Okay, and we've got Rob Bradford with
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: a quote from Brian Bayo, I feel like we have
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: to make an adjustment, asked what adjustment win? That's definitely
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: a good call. And then this is the positive news. Yeah,
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Alex has been out now for what a week and
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a half or so with the strained right quad. Apparently
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: his recovery is going at warp speed, no timetable, but
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: it's a quicker recovery than expected. They could use an
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Alex Bregman right now. Because here's the difference for me,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Todd Father. The team is not living up to expectations,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: I would say in any category, but the defense lately
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: looks atrocious, and I know Alex Bregman back is gonna
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: help that.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent, it's gonna help.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: And you know, you hear some quotes nowadays from some
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: people that you know, you usually get the quotes that
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: are like, yeah, you know it could be out for
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: you know, you know ten days to you know, ten
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: to fifteen days.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: The next thing you know, he's sixty day warp speed.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: You know that's that's really that means you're almost ready
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: to come back. You know, I had just chose him
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: last night after the game, said, you know, he feels
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: sooner for human at third base. Like some of the
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: quotes I think. You know, they're funny, they're candid, they're
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: exciting because you know they have a good game. But these,
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: you know what I hear, warp speed. That's great. We'll
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: see you next week, you know what I mean. So
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: you always gotta be careful what you say. I mean,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: a quad is you know, it's it's a tough injury.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Anything is really a tough injury if you want the truth.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: So that can only mean good things for the Red
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Sox if that is really the case.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: Scott, you need to check out this Roeback hoodie I have.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: It's eighty five plus degrees here in Florida. Look lightweight,
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: feels great. Cool colors perfect for those hot Florida days.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: I agree, aj color looks fire and you can get
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: your own sweatshirt, polo hoodie. Go check out roeback and
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: if you do, and you're a first time customer rowback
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: dot com, using the code foul gets you twenty percent
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: off your first purchase. R ho b a c K
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: dot Com code f o U L get after an FTFAM.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, if there's a way that Alex Bregman can
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: increase his value while he's on the il, this is it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: The team struggles. But my thing is this just shows
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox they need Bregman. They're struggling while he's gone.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: He's an upgrade at defense. I know he had a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: few airs early on at third base, but he brings
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: something to this team.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And it's exactly what BeO said. Winning.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: You have a guy on the roster that plays every
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: single day. He has done in his entire career except
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: for twenty one he missed. I think he missed like
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: sixty games. He's a one to fifty five starting guy
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: at third base. They need him every day in there
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and this team really show that they have leaks and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: holes without him, but he helps. He was helping keep
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: this team afloat. To me, they might still just be
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a five hundred team. So all this drama might be
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: because they think they're better than they really are.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Do you think they're better than they think they are?
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: Todd Father? I mean, you get to lock in on
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the Al East? What are you seeing?
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, listen, I thought they're gonna be a lot
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: better than where they are right now. Honestly, I thought
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: they were gonna be better. I thought they're gonna be
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: number two seed in the Al East. I thought they
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: were gonna make a wave, even make a wild card.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Right now, it's not looking good. I mean even you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: we've talked about it earlier. With this pitching staff. It's
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: not a bad pitching staff at all, Like with the
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: names they got, It's just there's one day they're doing
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: good hitting, the other day they're doing good pitching, Like
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: they're not putting it together, and they're making so many mistakes.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: And I think that's the biggest issue, the mistakes, the
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: silly mistakes, the errors.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'm oux core.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: I'm not happy either, man, Yeah, what's one adjustment you
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: can make win? Of course, yeah, the biggest one of
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: them all. Yeah, you got to do the little thing.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: So maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if they're I mean,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: they're a five hundred team last year with an all
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: star level Jaron Duran and they're like, well, we have
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: a bunch of we have a bunch of young guys.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Will you're a bray you did what he did? Like,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, you're sitting there going, Okay, Tristan Cosas isn't
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: gonna have what isn't going to have the year that
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: he did to me? They have to decide if they're
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a team that has a winning culture around these young guys,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: because that's not the case. They're going to continue to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: like linger in mediocrity and with all this drama that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: could push them under five hundred. Not that five hundred
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: does their goal. Their goal is to make the playoffs.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: And it really falters. It really like leans around the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: continuity of this team and how they allow these young
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: guys to play and what they put around them to play,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and it's just it just feels like it's not coming
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: together for whatever reason.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Is it dysfunction?
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Is it dysfunction between the front office and Cora Cora
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and the communication with players? Who knows without being there,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It's hard to say they're worse than the Angels.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: The Angels are twenty eight and thirty two, The Red
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Sox are twenty nine and thirty four, and crads. You
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: have that magic number of what three games or less
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: is the number that you want to see within striking
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: distance of a playoff spot by the time you get
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: to around the trade deadline.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: So they've got.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Five ish weeks to obviously not make up that ground,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: but they need to go in a little bit of
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: a run here.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Right now, they're five games out of a wildcard spot.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: The three teams.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: There's three teams that hold a spot and then there
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: are one, two, three, four five teams ahead of them,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: right and things get jumbled, right like, there's a pretty
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: clear line from the Red Sox to then the bottom
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: three teams in the American League, which are the Orioles,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: A's and White Sox.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: They're done. They're toast. But Todd Father, do you agree
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: with that?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Do you think that you need to be within three
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: games of wildcard contention by the time you get to
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the trade deadline.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yes and no. I mean I'm not going to put
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a number on it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: Kratzy's the analytical guy here, but for me, you got
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: to be within striking distance.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: But here's my issue. The teams that are head of you.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: You need some magic that happen. You need teams to lose,
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: and there is nothing worse than going into the last
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: month of the year. No, dude, we're six games back,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: but we need six teams to falter, you know what
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: So again, you have to stay close.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: I don't think three is the number, but I think
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: you got to be somewhat, you know, within a range
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: of you know, five or six games, because you know,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: crazier things.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Have happened talking to different pitchers that were free agents
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: or were potentially tradeable. I think the Red Sox missed
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: out on some starting pitching here.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Obviously.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: You know, Todd said, I don't think their staff is
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: too bad. But you have Garrett Crochet who's got under
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: two e r A. Then you were leaning on Walker Buehler.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: You've had twelve starts from Sean Neukom and Hunter Dobbins,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Tanner Hawk hasn't been the guy that you thought. Lucas
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Giolito's come back, but he's almost got a five E
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: r A. So you're hoping for Gilito Beyo you knew
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: was going to be hurt to start the year. You
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: were really leaning on Tanner Halck. If only they had
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: one other starting pitcher, if there's only another starting pitcher
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: that was available, that they could have gone out and
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: bought and really jumped into that free agent market. I
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: think they do a different spot.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: Right, So it's crochet. You can make a case that
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Beo's been okay.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's okay. He's a three. He's a three on
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the championship.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Team, three or four for me, three or four?
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: That's it?
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: Hey, Scotty, can I jump in here real quick? So
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: I'm actually seeing more of the video here of the
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: two teams. You're right, Tyler Anderson's going at it with
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: a coach here four and they were face to face,
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: and then two coaches they're telling me get away, and
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: then another coach. I wish I knew the guy's names, and.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: All of a sudden they wouldn't stop talking, and then boom,
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: two coaches are into each other's faces it was a good,
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: good little argument.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Good little argument.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, if you need a spark, you do something. Maybe
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: that's what helps either side.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, the.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Braves tried to fire their third base coach, so that's
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: that everyone's trying things when they're off to slow starts.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Last thing on my case is that it's going to
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: be a tough road to climb because I don't think
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: anybody sees the Red.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Sox catching the Yankees for the division.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: They have such a lead already in the Al East,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: so now you're in wildcard World.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Twins completely turned it around. They hold a spot. Guardians,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I think, are going to be there all year. Are
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: they great?
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily, but are they going to be in a
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: wildcard contention?
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Mariners playing much better this year. I think the Royals
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: are going to have a good run the rest of
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the season, especially with big Boy Jack cag coming up
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: to the show hitting some hard balls. Rays are playing
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: better than expected. Blue Jays should be a five hundred
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: ish team. I think the Rangers will play a little
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: bit better. There are a lot of teams that the
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Red Sox are going to have to compete with, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: most of the teams I just mentioned are not making
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, by the way, had that they're not going to.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Make the playoffs most of the teams I'm talking about.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: So the Red Sox are in trouble and this could
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: spiral pretty quickly, just like it did for their friends
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: in the.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Al East, the Baltimore Orioles.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I did the homework and I found the story on
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Cole Mener from the top of the show. So his delivery,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: as many said, mimicked wood cutting tools. The quote from
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: him was, I was from a small town in Michigan.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Always likened my throwing motion to throwing a hatchet or
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: an axe. My brothers and I did that when we
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: were kids. Who knows if that led to it, but
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: that's the closest thing to it.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: No, that makes sense, That makes sense. That the huck, Yeah,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: he's the.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: He's the real lumberjack, not Crats.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Is really close beyond bad day for me.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to see how Todd did against I'm trying
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to look up to see how Todd did against him. Oops,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: oh for six three punch he's I guess Todd didn't
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: like that fastball change up.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Combo never did, never did well.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Its tears. Is it hidden?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: It's cheating, that's what it was.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Oval, Well, that's deception.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: I mean he was super deceptive, right.
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like, who's that picture that used to lift
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: his leg off the ground and get like an extra
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: five feet before he pitched with the Braves.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I think, yeah, I would jump.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, gosh, darn it, Jordan, No.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: No, this will go into the next break ft fan
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: by Now.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: You know, if you're buying, selling, trading collecting cards, Arena
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: Club is the spot. We've been talking about them all
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: season long. But I do want to focus on the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: slab pack experience Crats. Since you've been ripping some slab
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: packs digitally and what happens.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the packs. How can they do this digitally? Oh baby,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: this is exciting how the graphics come out and everything.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: And oh yeah, the card that you pull you can
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: actually get that John physically, so it's perfect. It's all
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: in one place and it's a super exciting experience.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they send to you from the vault if you
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: want it, But if you look at it and you're like,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: it's not the card for me, I want to sell.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Back, go for it.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: You can do any of that on Arena Club, and
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: you can acquire the best value for your money with
• 20:10

  Speaker 3: slash foul, use code foul.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: He hate to be the bearer of bad news, but
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: injuries do suck. Let's get to a couple of them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Hunter Green has had the issue with his groin that
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: landed him on the injured list and he left yesterday
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: start with issue with that groin. So Todd Father, I
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: would say this is a disappointing year so far for
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the Red Legs.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: They need their ace. He departed in the fifth inning.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I remember when we were in Cincinnati when
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: the year started, we said Hunter Green is going to
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: be absolutely filthy this year has These strikeouts are are
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: really good. He's been pitching really well. He's one of
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: the hardest throwing starting pitchers there is. And it's not
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: even his arm too, and that's the biggest like man,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: you know, I mean, he's had some shoulder problems, he's
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: had a little arm problem here and there, but growing.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: And you need your legs as a pitcher. So this is.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: Hopefully it's one of those where it's it's a quick
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: fifteen days, but there's no such thing as a quick
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: fifteen days. But yeah, they need him, they need him,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: and they need him for the long haul too as well.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: They got to get gone.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fifteen days for a pictures scary canary, because you,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, you always have to think of it as
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: even if he takes a week off of throwing to
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: let his growing heel, seven days off, you're ramping it up.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: You have seven days before you're ever even after that,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: before you're ever even allowed to start throwing off a mount.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: And you're not just gonna go.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, fourteen days. I know you only threw for seven days.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: You haven't thrown off the mound. Get right back out there.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: It's tough fifteen day DL where you're not thrown. It
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: all depends on how many days he's throwing or not throwing.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And if he can keep throwing through this, just to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: keep his arm loose, keep his arm, you know, strengthened.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: It's one thing, but You never want to see this,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: especially with a young guy that is had to me
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: took a two next steps last year, and I thought
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: he would be, you know, in Cy Young contention this
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: year because now he's throwing one hundred. He still has
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a velocity, but he's locating and he has a he
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: has a veteran catcher and Jose Travino back there. You
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: could just see his maturation just continually happening. And I
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: think he's only twenty six. So you want to see
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: this comeback real quick. For the Reds, you don't want
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: to see this at all because they have no grace
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: period of where to be able to fall back on
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: injuries like that. They're already playing from behind.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a pretty flat start for them. They're
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: still in the mix, they're a good wind streak away,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: but this is not what they wanted out of the gate.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: The Brewers actually in the division have made quite the run.
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I know the Reds took them down last night, but
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: the Brewers have like ten dudes on the il waiting
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: to go. Logan Henderson, who has looked nasty for the Brewers,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: got optioned because they didn't have space for him, and
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: obviously he's got options anyway.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Playing to that point.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: One guy who we've been waiting for because I think
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: we really like the way he pitches and dominates with
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: the fastball, and he's been out for a while Brandon
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Woodruff comeback or Kratz got bopped on the elbow. So
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: the contusion fancy word for Bruce hopefully is okay, but
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: just we'll probably set him back a little bit. We
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: haven't seen him since twenty twenty three.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping obviously that the x rays come back negative.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: But the video was not good. He threw the pitch
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and he kind of turned and it caught on the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: elbow and Todd, you know, however far the ball bounces
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: in what direction knows you know how hard it hit you.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: The third baseman picked it up all the way up
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: against the fence past third base like it made a
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: direct ninety degree turn off of his elbow. You hope
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: he's okay. It's his pitching elbow. I'm gonna be the
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: eternal optimist on this. Maybe he needed a little bit
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of a break. He's been throwing consistently and sometimes he's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: rehab assignments. While they seem long for fans, for a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: pitcher coming back from a major shoulder surgery. Maybe this
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: gives him a little bit more time to get that
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: shoulder super strong and he's ready to go when he
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: comes back.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but now you have something else to worry about
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: here a little bit with the elbow again, it was
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: it was a big bounce off that elbow. You don't
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: see it go that far too often, so that means
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: he must have hit the bone flush. And you know,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: we're hoping and praying that that's okay. You know, no
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: rush at the end of the day. Make sure that's fine,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Make sure the shoulders fine. You know, if you need
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: another couple of weeks, so be it. Just get healthier.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: You know, we talk about Otani too as well. Just
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: take your time with all of this. It's not the
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: end of the world. If they miss a couple more weeks,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: it's fantastic. Let them be who they are and let
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: their bodies coop the way they need to be.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: So hopefully he's good, big whoop. Yeah.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Their rotation, obviously is Freddy Perrault at the top. Quinn
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Priest and Chad Patrick have been pitching really well for them.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Kntana's back this week. Aaron Savali has been pretty good lately.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: And you know, remember they still have Tobias Myers, who
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: was I think probably their most consistent starter, not number
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: two maybe last year, to Freddy who's at some point
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: going to come back up for them.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: There's quite a.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Few names there. With the Brewis rotation, they're actually in
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: a decent spot. You know, obviously guys go down, but
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: they've got fillings, so I think they're still very dangerous.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Team Krats. I know you had the name of the
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: pitcher that jumped off the mound. There actually was kind
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: of two, but you say there was the most obvious
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: on first, the.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Most obvious one, and I forget who said it in
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the in the Chabby BCC said Carter Capps, But he
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: wasn't the guy that pitched for the Braves. Carter Capps
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: was the one that kind of made it famous. The
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: guy you're thinking of, Jordan Walden, Yes, I knew it
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: was Jordan something and Jordan Walden. Yeah, they both did.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: They both employed that like softball pitcher where they jump,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: land and then throw again, and it was they would
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: get on you a little bit. Carter Capps was nasty
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for a minute, and then they told him to stop,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: and he said, maybe I'll come up with something different.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: They were jump throwers. What happened with caps? Did they?
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Did they tell him he couldn't do it?
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they said he couldn't do it. And then he
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: if you were remember he would he would kind of
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: stab way behind too, and he had to try to
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: think about that. That's how you've always thrown, and how
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: your timing would mess be messed up. He went through
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: some shoulder issues he went through. It was like it said,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: it said, you have to be connected with the rubber
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and you can't make us I forget exactly the wording,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: but you can't make a second move.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: You have to drag your feet at least partially through.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: And he was jumping to the grass on his release.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: It's crazy when you look back at the crow hop
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: like softball style. And then he got called for some
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: illegal pitches and triple A. He had already been in
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: MLB and he called MLB like what the hell? And
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: then the quote was they just said they wanted to
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: make sure I drag my foot and not get too
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: elevated in the air and make sure it's more on
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: a lateral plane. As long as I do that they
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: have no problem with it, but it was very strange, you.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Know, and softball, you know softball players, they can't get
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: their feet in the air.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: One has to drag two as well.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: So true, that's kind of like the reference I use
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: a little when people ask, like, you know, you see
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: that jumped eyes and will look at softball if your
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: fuck comes off the ground. But in baseball it was okay,
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: So it is what it is.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Hey, Las Diaz had a good night. Who do you
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: think is the worst umpire in Major League Baseball right now?
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Todd Father.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Andy Fletcher has gotten a lot of attention in the
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: past week. He missed a pitch down the middle to
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: show how Tani and then he also got in a
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: fight with JP Crawford, and JP Crawford is like a
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: very mellow dude. But here's last Diaz getting fooled for
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: strike three. And there are some you know, it's funny,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: Todd Father, there are some catchers with a pitch like
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: that that will still try and bring it back into
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: the zone. And it wasn't even an attempt. There was
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: not even a frame attempt on that one. They were
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: just like, yeah, that's the ball, Okay, that's a strike.
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's man, that was a good foot off the plate.
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: That's that's really bad. Really, that's probably one of the
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: worst we've seen in a long time. He's Yeah, he's
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: got to be up there on the list for sure.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I was Laz and Phil Couzy.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Laz and Phil Cuzzy have a tough time seeing that
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: back door curveball, and I like him. It gets him. Yeah,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I like las. Las was one of my favorite. He
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: was my first umpire that I ever worked with in
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the big leagues. Who's the Who's the worst? CB is
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: up there right now? Numbers wise, I think Laz is
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: one of the bottom guys. And then you're and then
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: you're having a smattering of man because some of the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: bad ones, some of the bad ones are gone. I
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: have to I have to look at the numbers, But
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the numbers really match based on what it's. None of
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: the young guys, none of the young guys, all those
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: guys are locked in.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: It's the dudes that have been there for a while.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Pot five and I are from Jersey, so we're used to, Oh,
• 30:03

  Speaker 3: chat to get involved. Okay, let's start with Michael. Is
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: there a team this year that can pull off what
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: the Mets did last year, as in eleven games under
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: in June and then playing in Game six in the NLCS.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I want you guys to really cook something good for us.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: It doesn't mean that you think this is going to happen,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: But do you think there is a team that's really
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: in the dumps right now that can turn it around
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: to get themselves deep into playoff contention and really in
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: the playoffs in October fighting for a World Series spot.
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's only got a Yeah, go ahead. I mean
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: Kansas City seven and a half out. I mean, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: think this team can come on strong.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: They're really good. Detroit has been phenomena. That whole ale
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: Central has been really good. You could pick a couple
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: teams there besides the White Sox, but I would say
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: it could be the Kansas City Royals crats.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Do we allow that pick or do we feel like
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: that's I wouldn't.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: They're a game out of a wild card spot.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: I don't you gotta win there?
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: No, they don't. They don't have to win the division.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: I want them to if they don't win the division,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: they're not going anywhere.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: I got the Royals in the World Series before the
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: season started.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Oh then that's definite. I don't know why even chosen
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: Terrible you love to love me. It was either that
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: the Red Sox.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: See that's a pick. To me, that's a pick. This
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: team's five games under. It's drama every day. And if
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: we're suddenly looking at the Alcs and the Red Sox
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: are in there, you like, oh, oh, they really.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Turned it around.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: You have to be nice for Crap because he loves
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: the Royals.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: So the point the point is no, we won't allow
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: it because you got to pick a team that's under
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: five hundred rat right now, the Royals are over five hundred.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: To you don't even understand the exercise. Come on, Todd,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: do the Red Sox. The Red Sox will not be
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: that team because you talked about it's not just making
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Red Sox could make the playoffs. I'm
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: not saying that. I'm saying they're not gonna be that
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: team that will go on a magical run to almost
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: be at the World Series. To me has to be
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the Rangers. It is an underperforming team that is hovering
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: close enough to five hundred. Obviously, the the Orioles are
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: the ultimate underperforming team, but that was roster construction early.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: And the other part that I that I I lean
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: on with the Rangers here, if they're even remotely close,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: if they're even you know that three game window that
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Scott's gonna hold me to.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: That three game window.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: That is a GM president of Baseball Operations that's gonna
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: make moves to push this team. And then all of
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: a sudden you have some absolute monsters in that lineup
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: who are gonna be healthy by the time the playoffs
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: roll around. They've done it before, and now you have
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: added bullpen, I mean, added starting rotation pieces. They'll just
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: figure out the bullpen because that's what Bruce Bochie does.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and it's an even year for Bruce Bocie.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: True yeah. And that team can pitch. I like that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: I'll throw two more out there. I think the Diamondbacks
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: can bounce back. I mean some of it's going to
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: depend on the status of Corbyn Burns. What you're scared
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: of the pitching dude, Their offense can bang.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: I'm scared of Burns's injury. I am, and I'm scared
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: of Gallen hasn't returned. We just talked about it, but
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: I've been watching it the whole time. Walks suck in
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: this game. Suck and he doesn't have elite level velocity.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: He's got to figure that out, and they haven't for
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the last two years.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: One more candidate braves for me, But I want to
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: keep getting more questions. Here's one from Mango. Any advice
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: on when you start your kid in baseball? I saw Todd,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: father replied in chapions. You see, he's the best, He's
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: our star child. But Mongo said, my two year old
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: loves to swing the bat and watching baseball highlights. But
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I'm worried te ball is too boring for a little
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: energetic kid.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: What do you think? What do you tell them?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I said, listen, your kid needs t ball.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: They need to learn how to play the game and
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: have some fun and just get used to a fun,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: loving game. Te Ball is where everybody starts out with.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: You want your son all of a sudden, to fail
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: right away. You jump them right in there. I mean,
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: some kids can do it, but at the same token,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: you know, get him out there to meet some new
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: kids and enjoy this wonderful game and it'll be well
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: with times. Don't get me wrong and be boring. But
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: he has to learn all the positions. And you got
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: to see which position bost well. Can he catch already?
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: Can he field? Can he throw the ball? So that's
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: where T ball is learned, and that's where the game
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: is love, And I told him, guys, kids are starting
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: at four years old.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I think five is probably the ideal age. If you
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: want to wait another year and you go from there, I.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Would say, real quickly, you play with him, Play with
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: him in the backyard. That's where he's gonna earn and
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: love the most, learn the most about the game.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: Play with them.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: And if he says when it's time to come inside,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: oh man, that means he loves it and he's going
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to continue. If you say it's time to come inside
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: and he can't wait to get inside, mm hmm, maybe
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: he's not having as much fun.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Josh with the question, what can MLB do to make
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: their draft of marquee event for fans and players the
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: way NFL and NBA do. We could spend a lot
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: of time with this, but let's start with not having
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: it buried during All Star Week.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just such a bush league move. They
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: need to put it in a spot like Omaha around
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: the College World Series.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: One more, let's finish with this. Sean says, who do
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: you think is going to be the best higher for
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: the Orioles as a full time manager next season?
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: I don't think Monsolina is gonna be the dude going forward.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: So who do you think is the guy next year?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, Kratz.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Do they make a push for Skip Schumacher, if Bruce Bosch,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: She's like, I actually want to do this for a
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: few more years. I think Skip's going to be getting
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: a ton of phone calls the next year or two.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's two guys, Skip Schumacher David Ross. Those
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: are the guys, and it's all about the connection. It's all.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I know Skip better than I know ROSSI so I'm
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: gonna have to say Skip, but Skip wants to win.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Skip's path was to the Cardinals, Ali Marmals shown he
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: knows how to work with this young this young team.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: Hein Blue might not get rid of him, but I
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: think Skip. I think Skip's the guy. And you know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: but David Ross would be should should be up there
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: because clearly he wasn't doing anything wrong in Chicago because
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: they brought in the great Craig Council and the team
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: did pretty much the same.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: Mm hmm, I got.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: One outside the box.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: You guys might be like, whoa, but John Jay Man,
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: he's been around for a while too. He should get
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: a little consideration of maybe being a manager. I've known
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: he's he's been doing it for a couple of years.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: It's a really outside shot. We've talked about outside shots.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: But John Jay I think would would fit very well
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: in any organization.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: I like that he's going to be a manager at
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: some point.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't. They don't want they don't want a
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: first time manager. If the Orioles go first time manager,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: you might see somebody available in the blocks. Because that's
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: a different to me, that's a different, a different look.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Let's slap.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: This was a funny one.
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: So someone was mentioning in our chat ECC how Zach
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Wheeler was just placed on the paternity list. I guess
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: they just had a kid, and I decided to chime
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: in Kratz correct me if I'm wrong, because they were like,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: oh bummer, like he's gonna miss his start. Wait am
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: I am I off on this one. You're giving me
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: a look.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm waiting to hear what you want to.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: You want to hear what I got.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: So he was like, bummer, he's going to miss the start.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: I'm like, usually they don't. They usually just reshuffle so
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: that he stays on track. If anything, maybe pushed back
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: a day or two or whatever. Right, But I said,
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: the paternity list just gets the team an extra.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: Roster spot for a few days.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: When a starting pitcher goes on the paternity list, it's
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: a front office gold mine for a few days. So
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: I was like, make babies get roster spots.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Make baby. That's his T shirt.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Make babies get roster spots. I get that. But oh yeah,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: it's an easy that's an easy fix. Zach Wheeler.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: This is probably a secret.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: He's gonna come into the field and throw.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: His wife's probably having a baby in Philly's still gonna throw.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing a Rockies hat today.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: They swept the Marlins. What a play.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: All going out for ice cream and you can get
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Jimmy's on it too.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Hey, don't worry if your home run bet does not
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: clear the fences. If you're using bet MGM, you can
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: get yourself an MLB home run no sweat token, Activate it,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: and if your bet comes up short, you'll get your
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: steak back in bonus bets. Gambling problem more concern, called
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: one eight hundred gambler
