FT MLB Power Rankings + Padres Trade Deadline preview · Foul Territory

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Here we go, people, Here we go. Power rankings. I'll
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: give you guys a guest who I'm gonna go first,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: just because I can't wait to get laughed at it.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: How much of my power rankings have changed, which is fine,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me. But I will give you one
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: guess who my number one team is on my power.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Rankings for the last two years or just this month.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Every one of these we've ever done. The Doyers, there
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you go, boom pretty easy. The Dodgers. I know they
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: don't have the best record. I think the Brewers passed
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: them by half a game or one game. But they're
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: still the Dodgers, Like Kenny Kenny Salad said, they're playing
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: for October and that's where they're at. So the Dodgers
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: will run through mind and be real quick. Dodgers are one,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Brewers are two. Braves. Phillies are kind of like three
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: A three B. I know the Braves are a little
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: bit ahead. Then I get to the American League and
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like the Rays and Yankees are five A
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and B, five and six. And this is where it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: gets interesting for you people out there. They can oh
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: hate on me on the internet. I put the White
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Sox in front of the Cubs. Why because the White
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Sox are always better than the Cubs. That's it. That's
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: my reason. The White Sox in first place the Cubs
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: are not. The record is different. I don't care if
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the White Socks will always be better in the Cubs.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: And then I threw the Mariners in there at nine,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: just because I think at some point they're gonna get hot.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: They're over five hundred. Cal Rawley had a big hit.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I know he's struggling, but he had a big hit
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: home run. I think it was Grand Slam last night.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: And then the Red Sox with their fourteen game winning streak.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Right now, I think there's gonna be some regression from
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the Red Sox. But right now they're ten in my
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Power rankings. And I'm sure this has changed a lot
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and I look like a fool. But let's show it,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Krotzy what it looked like from my last power rankings.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I want to see. Moved up,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: not bad, moved up, White Sox. I mean, you're a Homer,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: but I feel like you're not totally off on the
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: White Sox. The Guardians dropped out, that's my surprise. That
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you don't have the Guardians somewhere up there, but you
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: have the White Sox and the Mariners stayed the same
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: for you. So I feel like that's pretty much where
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the Mariners are. That's what the whole Al West is.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. I feel like the mirrors are better
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: than what the record's man, and I feel pretty good
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: about that. Most of it stayed pretty close to the same.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Some teams moved up a little bit, some teams got hotter,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: but I feel like they're they're all. It's pretty good.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So you know what, And I did this blind.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I do not.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I did not have my power rankers the last time.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know we were going to show the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: ones from last time. So I feel pretty happy that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I was that close. So now, Kratzy, it's your turn
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to be on the hot seat.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm totally fine with that. As long as I'm
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: not going to get fired over getting this wrong, then
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I'm totally fine because I'm gonna start with the Dodgers.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: That's chalk. I feel like mine if you would look
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: at the records, I don't know if I don't have
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the records pulled up, but I feel like it's probably
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: chalk on records here. I think, I go, so we're
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: we're straight even with Brewers, Braves, Phillies. Then I have
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the Rays better than the Yankees. I think, you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a little hot stretch could change that. I have the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Cubs in White Sox switched. I think the NL Central
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: has some intriguing teams in the sense that I think
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the Pirates are clearly doing well this year. For Pirates,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to make the Cubs record look
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a little bit worse because I think the NL Central,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: besides the Reds, is a fun division to watch. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: think the Cardinals have been slipping, but that means where
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the Cubs are at right now, they had to beat
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: some pretty decent teams in that Central. I think the
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: White Sox have the White Sox to me, they've just
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: been winning. I feel like they know how to win
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: because they're like, you know, they're like a college team.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: They're out there just getting after it. Every single night,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: somebody new does something and it's They're a fun fun
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: team to watch. It's no San Diego environment, but man,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I have I've never taken my family to rape Field,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and this team makes me want to go and watch
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a game there, because it just seem like they're in
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: every game. I had the Guardians at nine and the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Mariners at ten, and I think the Mariners are going
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to win that division. I think the Guardians are gonna
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: end up winning the division. But right now I think
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the White Sox are ahead of them.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair. I mean there's there's a couple of
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: things I would argue about there, the Guardians. The White
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Socks are always better in the Cubs. I said it
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: was a Homer pick. Yeah, And let's look at your
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: board from June ninth, a little over a month ago.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Brewers moved up, Philly's moved up, Rays moved up, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: then it was it's very similar to mine. I mean,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Diamondbacks dropped out, Cardinals dropped out.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Kind of very similar. But yeah, I can't argue. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: can't make fun of it because you know what, this
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: also shows you. The first five or five to one
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: to seven teams are pretty much as we all have
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: kind of the same idea, and then you get to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: like eight, nine, ten, and you're just like kind of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: throwing darts at the dartboard. Who's hot this week? Oh wait,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The Red Sox are hot, Let's fire them in there
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: real quick. Oh, the Mariners are one game over. They
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: have all this potential boom. We'll throw a dart, will
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: hit them right.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: The Guardians, oh, poop, they hit seven homers, six off
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Ryan last night. Poop, they're hot. We'll fire one
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: at them. It's just it's a crapshoot. After about number
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: six for me.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: If we can bring that board up again, please about
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: not my ranking board, but the how I did from
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the last month. I remember being hesitant wanting to put
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals in that list, being hesitant wanting to put
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks in that June ninth board. I think now
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I agree with what you said. If it was still
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: June ninth, I think now I think there's been some
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: separation in those six through nine teams. I feel like
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: there's a maybe even six through ten. There's a separation
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: in the sense of I think those those teams are
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: less interchangeable with everybody that I have outside of the list,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: I think I forget exactly who I have. I know
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I have the Guardians. You didn't have the Guardians. I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: not sure who you had. It just felt like this time,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it was a lot easier to make the end of
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: my list. While I could shift some around, I could
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: put the White Sox above the Cubs and the Guardians
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: above the White Sox, like I can do that, But
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I felt like other times it just felt like once
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: we got to number six, after we were done with
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: my quote unquote mandatory American League picks of the Rays
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and the Yankees, it felt like it was very, very muddled.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And I think we're seeing a little bit clearer of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a picture than what we had on June ninth when
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: we did this.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Todd Father, are you hitting some games this summer? What's
• 6:53

  Speaker 5: the code automatically is added to your account so you
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: can use it later.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think we both have the same top six.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So I think, like I said, I think once you
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: get past six to seven, you know, the Cubs, you
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: can make an argument they're seven eight wherever you know,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: wherever they are, they're probably better than the White Sox.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: But again, a homeowner, I'm a homer, so I'm a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: homeowner also multiple homeowner.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: But you know, when you when you dig into it,
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: the first six are pretty easy to rank, and then
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: it just becomes a muddled mess.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And excuse me. Yeah, I don't know, I don't I
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: don't know. You know, teams can make moves, the Phillies,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: the Braves. Some of these teams can make moves and
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: can move up and down. They could get hot. Some
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: teams could sell make some moves, they don't work out,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: someone gets hurt. It's so it's so fluctuating, just depending
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: on and again, I do this for right now. I
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: don't do this from the end of the season. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: don't do this for months from now. It's just kind
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of what I feel right now. And it's amazing that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: we had the same top six. It really is kind
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of amazing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: I think I think I picked the teams based on
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: what I think their their ability is. And I think
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: every team on that top six, except for possibly the Rays,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I don't really care what moves they make. I don't
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: care if the Phillies find the right handed outfield back
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: because I don't think it's gonna be Byron Buxton or
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Mike Trout to make this massive, massive move for the team.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I don't care if the Yankees find another bullpen piece
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: because I don't think they're gonna get a closer. So
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to me, I put those teams on there because I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: think they're all really, really good. I think there's not
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of moves that make me say, oh yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: these guys are they're gonna go all in on. None
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of those teams are gonna go get Scoobale. In my opinion,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think the Brains are gonna get Scooble. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: think they may get like a Joe Ryan type of thing.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: But I think it's a case of these are the
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: most solid teams no matter what their last week of
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: hot streak is. And that's probably why I kept the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Red Sox out because I'm not fully convinced, but I'm
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: willing to watch because of what they've done. Yeah, but
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's what's so amazing is if one team
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: does make the schoobl move, I mean the move, or
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: if the Braves, like you said, go get Joe Ryan,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that changes things.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You go sail Joe Ryan, elders Straya. You know, Lopez
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: been better since he's gone in the in the in
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the starting rotation, but then you back it up at
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the back end of their bullpen when Suarez comes back.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Iglesias Lee, do I mean that that bullpen? I think
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that does change some things. Now, if if the Phillies
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: go get a Byron Buckston or Schoobol moves to one
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: of these teams, it definitely will change the rankings. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: would love for the Rays to go out and make
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a big move, just just to see if the Yankees answer. Right,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the Rays go out and get a picture a great
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: pitcher or a huge bat, whoever that is, and then
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: we'll be fastening to see if they do it early enough,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and then the Yankees say, oh man, we really might
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: have to do something here because they're really going for it, or.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: How much the judge injury doesn't heal between now and
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: the trade deadline and the you know, all those moves,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Like I can explain all those moves based on, you
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: know the fact that I put the Braves ahead of
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the Phillies because the Phillies have given up the most
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: runs besides the Nationals outside of or after the seventh inning,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and the Braves are ridiculously good in the bullpen. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: what has won teams? What has what has helped teams
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: move on in the playoffs? Well, bullpen. The Phillies lost
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: because their bullpen gave it up last year in the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: playoffs and so they lost to the eventual World champions.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: They probably would have been a team, right in the
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: mix there because I felt like they were one of
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the two best teams in the National League.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Fair, that's fair. I don't know. We'll see in another
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: six weeks, we'll do this. Maybe we'll do this after
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the trade deadline in a couple of weeks and depending
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: on maybe, Yeah, what producer, lady, why didn't we wait?
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Why didn't we just wait till after the trade?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: No? No, no, no, no, no no, you just did?
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, it's fine. It came home in
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a good mood. And then the first text I receive
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: after I get off the airplane this morning at seven
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: was can you put your power rankings out there? I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: just I think she did it just to rub me
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the wrong way. It's fine, We'll get revenge at some point.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: On open. I love that. That nugget that you just
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: dropped in there was you got off the airplane at
• 12:15

• 14:03
  Speaker 7: when Peco Park first opened, right, you had all the
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: excitement of a brand new ballpark in these padres. We
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: had a three hour pregame show. A three hour pregame
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: show on the padres from teams that weren't three hours
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: for teams that were great. So now you understand why
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: half those times I'm going in the visiting clubhouse to
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: demand a J.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: Prasinski come on our show.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Three, that's a lot. I don't know how y'all did it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Y'all did it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And by the way, ten ninety was a big Jim
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Rome right there, weren't they big gym Rome? Yeah, So
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I got asked to go on the Jim Rome Show.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: And I love Jim Rome. I did a lot of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: stuff with Jim Rome back when he was on ESPN
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and doing his whole radio show.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Some kind of exciting.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm excited because I did a lot with him,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: So I didn't even Honestly, I shouldn't maybe say this,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: but I didn't know he was still doing stuff because
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard. And then I got it asked to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: do his show. So I'm like, heck, yeah, Glory Days, Marty, Yeah,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Glory Days, thank you.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: That big Glory Days of sports radio. Yes, was all
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: live in local.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: He had a huge signal that blasts, you know, like
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: I mean, huge signal. So that's that's where I got
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: my start in sports radio. And look at me now, man,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: as our as our media world evolves.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Hi, Eric, I'm glad. Yeah, you never asked me because
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I only came into San Diego one time in my
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: friend and that's fine and right now, I don't think
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: anybody wants to come into San Diego unless you're the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: opposing team and play San Diego.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: Wow.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: Well, as of late, yeah, you're right, I mean and
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: the and the couple of the previous homestands, I mean,
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: Peco Park has always been a place where the other
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: teams didn't want to go because I mean that the
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Padres were they're a better team at home, right, and
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: the crowd was into it. But lately we saw when
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: the Dodgers came in town, when the Cubs came in town.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: As the Padres have struggled, there's been a bit, a
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: bit more of a fan takeover. We'll see what happens
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: when the Padres were turned or turned from this dismal
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: road trip, the last home stand before the trade deadline,
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: when they play the Colorado Rockies and the San Francisco Giants,
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: We'll see, We'll see.

• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Well here let's get into it, Marty. Are they gonna pay?
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Are they gonna be Are they gonna be buyers or sellers?
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: I don't think they.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Preller doesn't want to be a seller. No, there's one
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: thing we know about aj Preller. He wants to keep
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: getting trying and trying it. He'll never give up. Right,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: So if it came down to him having to sell,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: it would just I feel like you would eat him alive.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: It's not in his dna, AJ. I mean, he has
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: not really sold at the deadline since twenty nineteen.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: When AJ Proler last spoke to the media, which is
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: at the end of the draft, you know, and he
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: was asked about that, he said, listen.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: We could go either direction.
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: And you don't usually hear that from AJ Preller, right,
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: But with how poorly they have performed and how bad,
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: how disappointing that last homestand was this was a huge
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: road trip for them, playing one of the worst teams
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: in baseball, and you know, the Kansas City Royals. They
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: dropped that series, and they scored nineteen runs on Sunday
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: to avoid a sweep, and they come out flat yesterday
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: against the Atlanta Braves.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: So this is a huge roadship.
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: If they can't figure something out, I think, I mean,
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: he has some attractive trade chips.
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: I know, we'll talk about Mason Miller.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: There are other guys who could follow in that possibility
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: as well, guys like Adrian morrohone who would fit, who
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: would be a great addition.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: To anyone's bullpen.
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Ty Franz, who has been on fire recently, perhaps even
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Michael King, who can opt out after this year. If
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: the Padres become sellers, they do have some very attractive
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: trade ships. But here's the problem, guys, they have so
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: many holes to fill right now. Romo, they lost Ramon Loreano,
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: they're left Fielder're out for the remainder.
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: Of this season.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: Nick Pavetta and Joe Musgrove, both of those guys are
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: throwing to hitters right now in Arizona.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: In their spring training facility.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: They could come back, but outside of Michael King, right now,
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: they don't really have reliable starting pitching. They have so
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: many holes. But what they have going against them? And
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: I mentioned this for with you know, darn Darren Smith
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: and I talked about this on Friar Territory. What is
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: the window of opportunity for this Padres team. Manny Machado
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: turned thirty four years old in July. Xana Bogart is
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: turning thirty four years old in October. Their best years
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: are behind them. If you're the San Diego Padres and
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: you're thinking, what's my window of winning with these aging superstars,
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: this kind of might be it. So maybe if you're
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: the Padres, You're hoping you can get something you can hope.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: You're hoping you get Paveda or Muskrove back. You're hoping
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: your offense can do something they haven't done really all season,
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: maybe not since April.
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: Go on a run, and then.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: Perhaps you can shorten the game because you do have
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: when guys return healthy in that bullpen, one of the
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: best bullpens in baseball now. Mason Miller is elite nationally,
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: you know, pitcher of the month for what for two
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: months he has pitched twelve times. The best player in
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: the Padres so lone All Star, has pitched twelve times
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: since June first, and that is a problem for the Padres.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: They can't get him the ball. Jason Adam is on
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: the injured list right and he's not going to be
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: back until later in August. Estrada also on the Jeremiah
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: Strada also on the injured list.
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: He could return maybe on this next.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: Homestand if they can hang in there and do just
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: enough and gain some ground on the five teams are
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: trilling in the wild card, maybe maybe they can figure
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: it out in time to make a run and run
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: in August.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: We'll see Hi, Marty. I mean you are definitely southern
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: southern California sunshine. As far as you're trying to paint
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: this picture, I feel like you painted. You could have
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: said all those exact same things and said, yeah, this
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: is why they're selling. But I'm running back to the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: very first thing you said, and it's the window. What
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: do the moves look like? Let's say this. You know,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: right before the break here, this last two weeks, the
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Padres just kind of they're just malaised, and the Diamondbacks
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: continue to go ahead of them, and the Dodgers are
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: not able to be caught. What does taking advantage of
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: this window look like? As far as moves at this
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: trade deadline? Is it because because many Machado, I don't
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna have as bad a year next year
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: just because I thinks I'm a player, all that stuff
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: they're getting a year older? Is that window two years?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: And what moves does that look like? Mason Miller spun
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: for two big leaguers that are going to come in
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and fill all these many holes that you're talking about
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that needed to be filled.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: We don't know what the window looks like, but I
• 21:29
  Speaker 7: just think the window with Mandy and Bogart's like, I
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: think this is the last best chance. And guys, one
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: thing that we haven't talked about yet is the Padres ownership.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: We know that this team was sold for a record,
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: you know, three point nine billion dollars a couple months ago.
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, they have not been officially sold. They were
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: vetted by Major League Baseball. The other owners have not
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: yet voted on this sale. There was so much conversation
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: from people in this industry about AJ Preller, about other
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: executives thinking that AJ Preller was going to have money
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: to spend the deadline because of the new ownership group.
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: Except now we know from what rod manfreds and at
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: the All Star at the All Star Break, this sale
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: is not going to be official or approved until after
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: the trade deadline. So the idea that this new ownership
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: was going to go ahead and come in and spend
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: some money, that's not gonna happen now because they're not
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: going to be in place until after the deadline has passed.
• 22:21
  Speaker 8: So I don't know what.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: To expect from them when they get here. It might
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: be a little bit, it's gonna be it's gonna be
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: too little, too late. John Seidler, the Padres current chairman,
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: says that he will do what's in the best of
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: the best interests of the Padres at this point. What's
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: the best interest of the Padres And the one thing
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: that I get to if you Aj Prazinski and you
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: Eric Kratz, you guys invested in this Padres team that's
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: been the playoffs and back to back seasons, that the
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: second highest attendance in all of baseball last season behind
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: the Los Angeles Dodgers. You came in thinking this team
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: was going to be a playoff team, that you had
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: excitement from Padres fans.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: You're gonna draw three million plus again, you have a.
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: Season ticket, you have a season ticket waiting list for
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: four street years.
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: But wait a second.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: The first move you're gonna make is go ahead and
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: trade Mason Miller. The first move you're going to go
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: ahead and make me is tear this thing down and
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: perhaps start a real build process. Oh and then, by
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: the way, and then there's a possible lockout. There are
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: so many different factors I think that are hovering over
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: this franchise that it's almost impossible to understand what they
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: should do versus what they're going to do.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: But the one common threat, and you deviated me from
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: my actual question is aj Preller. No, I love it
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: because is aj Preller? Could this be the most could
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: this be the most rogue aj Pereller We've ever seen?
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Just because he knows it's window? Yeah, he knows. I
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: mean I was. I was in spring training the year
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: when he traded away Kimberl and he picked up bj
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Upton or Melvin whoever it was at that time, and
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: we got yeah, we got Kemper Like there was a
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: lot of he's not afraid of making moves because the
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: ownership situation isn't totally done. Could he just continue to say,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: you know what, this might be my last time to
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: really ride a wild horse and continue.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: To push Yes.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: And you brought up a good point, Eric, because one
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: thing that was the biggest topic amongst us in spring
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: training was a status of aj Preller's contract because he
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: was going into the season as a lamed up general manager. Now,
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: he did, towards the end of spring training signed a
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: deal with.
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: The Padres, but we don't know what that deal is.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: The Padres wouldn't announce the specifics of how many years
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: for AJ Preller aj Preller wanted to keep that private.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: Additional reporting seems to indicate that it's at most a
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: two year deal. Are there any guarantees that aj Preller
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: is going to be the general manager, the president of
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: baseball operations under this new management group.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: We don't know.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: There's a ton of questions around aj Pler's future. If
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: the Padres continue to stumble, if they make if they
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: miss the playoffs. There is no guarantee anywhere that this
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: new ownership group Kwanza, Jones, Jose Joseliciano that we know
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: nothing about. We have no indication that aj Preller is
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: going to be their guy.
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: Maybe they want their own guy, their own man.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: So again to answer your question, Eric, yes, aj Pler
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: could go rogue.
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: He could absolutely Why not? What does he have to
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: lose at this point?
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: If you're watching us, you already know we're wearing mack
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Weldon right now as we talk about a great brand
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: that makes things so comfortable and easy to wear. But
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: if you're listening to the show, let me tell you
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: a little bit more about mack Weldon with my friend
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Eric Kratz.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's comfortable, it's light, it's summertime right now. For me, though,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: they cater to what I need tall clothes. Normally, when
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I buy tall clothes it's like something that's cumbersome and boxy.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: It still fits incredibly well, super light, perfect for the summertime.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: They got me all covered.
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Comfortable, performance material can be yours. Mack Weldon is the spot.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Don't sweat the heat this summer. Feel as effortlessly cool
• 26:17

• 26:25
  Speaker 5: d O N dot com code fo u L.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: I want to see it. I want to see him
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: start trading away like coaches and stuff, because he's like,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: we got no prospects in the minor leagues. I want
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: to see him away just you can just do something crazy.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Nothing against nothing against any of the coaches that they
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: have there, but just him going rogue. That's all I
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: want to see. But I want to ask you something
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: you said, because I don't watch as much Padres as
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: you do, but you said this on your show that yes,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: they're losing and that's discouraging. But the manner in which
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: they're losing is discouraging. What do you mean by that?
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: They're just they're not playing competitive baseball. They're they're not
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: fundamentally sound. They make so many they make so many
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: mistakes on the basis right they don't have prolonged at bats.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: I mean it feels like.
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, the way they won the game yesterday, it's like
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: it's like hit a home run or that's it.
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: They don't play small ball anymore.
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: And as much as Wet, as much as Mike schult
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: was criticized last season, you know, for his like the
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: power of friendship and playing small ball and bunting, I
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: think it's something that Padreas.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: Have really gotten away from.
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: Right now, when they have guys that aren't slugging, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: think it's turning down.
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: They don't have sustained rallies.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, you can look at that blowing again to
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Kansas City Royals as one thing, nineteen runs. But this
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: is a team man that that their situational hitting is
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: is poor.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: That's That's what I'm talking about.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's not fair, that's not a fair criticism, Marty.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: It's really hard to hit in the.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: Big league so just no, I know, I understand, but
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: just just it is, but just the little things, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: I don't know, there's there's so many questions.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: I'd ask you this, guys.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: If you are a player on that team and your
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: older player and you're thinking, is this is your last
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: best chance?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: So maybe you're you live in reality. Are you at
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: all surprised at a j Preller, who's gone through tons
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: of hitting coaches and managers for this season, went with
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: a first time manager, a rookie manager, and a rooking
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: hitting coach.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: No, Am, I surprised.

  Speaker 7: Yeah, you're surprised by it. And then are you surprised
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: by some of the results that we're.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Seeing because they're friends of Preller and there That's why
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: if they were if it would have been someone from
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: outside the organization, I would have been more surprised. Well,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: who knows, we ain't got enough time to get into
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: No, I know, I know, I know, I know, I just.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: But no, I'm not. I'm not surprised because he's had
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Bob Melvin, he's had Mike Shilt, right, he's had veteran managers,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and he's like, you know what, I'll try a buddy
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of mine Craig Salmon, who's been in the organization. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: don't know that you can blame Craig Salmon because I
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: can't hit really and they seem to constantly have injuries.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: But am I surprised to answer your question? Unlike you, Marty,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I want dodge a question. No, I am not. I
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: am not surprised at all.
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: Wait, wait, dodge a question. I'm sorry. Go ahead, go ahead,
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: re ask your question.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: I will answer it with this question, not mine.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I just I get that. But by the way, before
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: we let you go, I have to I have to
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: ask you a question, Marty. Who's your favorite Padre to
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: interview right now? Yeah?
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: Okay, Well, Manny Machado is fascinating because when he has
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: something to say, I mean, he's not afraid immense words.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I love interviewing Mason Miller. He's so he is so thoughtful.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: Jackson Merrill is fiery, but Manny Machado is is awesome.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: I love talking to him.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: We have a really hard time getting Padres players on here.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Mason millers on every once in a while. It's great,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: but it's really hard to get to Padres players. So
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: maybe as a former as my former stalker. Yeah, go
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: out there when you're next time you're at Peco and ask, Okay, hey, guys,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I work for foul Territory. They're really not that bad,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: can you Can we get some love for foul Territory
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and don't we don't want to steal them from Friar. No,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: your guys, you get your guests. But every once in
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: a while, would be nice to talk a little padre baseball.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: I would recommend some Madde Taylor for you, but he
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: is on the injured list with an oblied He has
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: an oblique injury, so he could be gone for a while.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: If but AJ give me your top three guys you
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: want to talk to and we'll go ahead and put
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: it out there. By the way, I would like take
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: this opportunity to recommend that fans go to foul Territory
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: shop because there was a fantastic Mason Miller All Star
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Game T shirt. You want to make sure you grab
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: that just in case, Just in case Adrian celer goes
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: rogue and that becomes a fancy collector's item.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: See top three. Manny would be one. I'm sure many
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: would definitely be one. Yeah, Joe, Well, we had Joe
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: on didn't Joe.
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Never talked to Jackson Merrill. And I think, and I
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: think Xander. I I love Xander as a teammate. Okay,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: so I think he would be he would be awesome.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: But it's like the it's like the Holy Grail, like
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: we have to like figure out like the code. It's
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: like Indiana Jones to try to get to try to
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: get a Padres player. There, I hear they're really focusing
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: on playing.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Oh, they're focusing on playing. Then go with my I
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: would go with Joe Musgrove.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: Must Groves great, and he's awesome.
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: He's great.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: And also I know he didn't want you for a while,
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: but now that he is inching closer, we think, right
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: just threw in Arizona along with Pavetta, that maybe he'll
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: be more receptive to coming on because he he told
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: me on all this conversation one hundred percent he's going
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: to pitch this season, and I think last year he
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: kind of got tired of saying that, hoping that building
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: up like a false expectation that he could return for
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: the playoffs, even though he knew that wasn't reality. Let's
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: go with Musgrove, Musgrove Manny Meryl, I would put sheets,
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: holy sheets, I'd put him on that.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: One I love. I can text him and get him.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: Get Gavin sheets.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Also, I really like to talk to and no one's
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: heard fro him in a long time. Who you Darvish?
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Are you still? I mean no?
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: But he's in Japan right now. He was posting pictures.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: I think he was somewhere in Hokkaido, So I think
• 32:24
  Speaker 7: he's he's like going around his stomping grounds in Japan.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: Maybe if you're you Darvish, maybe he can find him
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: the next young Japanese superstar? Can we get a Sasaki?
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: Can we get him more of a Kami? The padres
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: need a young a Japanese superstar.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go awesome.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Do we have a Japanese scout coming on next? He's
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: probably listening to us, so we're gonna we're gonna find
