• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Aj Pierzinski, the regulars boys. Good to see you again,
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: spots starting once again. I think we should make it
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: a rule that Scott braun Aj cannot go to Mexico
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: ever again.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I think we should make it a rule that Alana
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: hosts for Scott all the time, or anybody for that matter.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I think Scott, you know, he poked hisself in the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: eye on purpose. He Mana Zuma came up and got him.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Scott, and I'm
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: just happy he's not sitting next to me because whatever
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: he has I don't want.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a great show today, Eric Kratz, we
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: have Pete Fairbanks joining us, Jason Worth is joining us,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Mitch Bannon is going to be on the program talking
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: all things Blue, Jays. Good to be with you again, Cretzy.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: No more Mexico for Scott Broun.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Okay, no, that's that's fair.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: But you know, everything's really related around the Dodgers, and
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: we're the Dodgers of baseball content on YouTube and on
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: fandel and you know what, we don't just get Triple
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: A fill ins. We have big league fill ins, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: you are our big league filling to lay you on.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that very much. So let's get the
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: program started, shall we not have it? We charge the
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: mount talk them about and guys, what's not big league
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: right now is the Colorado Rockies, which we're going to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: get to in a second, but let's start with the
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: New York Metropolitans. Anthony Dicomo of The Athletic, tweeting this earlier,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the Mets have scored twenty three runs in their last
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: eight innings, and astounding twenty two of the last forty
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: eight Mets batters have scored. That's forty six percent. Guys,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I'd say that's pretty pretty pretty good. Mets are eighth
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: in terms of their eighth straight win. AJ what do
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: you make of it?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Every team goes through hot streaks and They're playing really
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: well right now. Their offense is looking good. They're winning
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: games they shouldn't win. They're winning games they should win,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and they're just swinging it. This lineup looks great even
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: without Wan Soto. I know people are asking about it.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: One Soda is not crushing it, Pete a Lonzo's crushing it,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Starling Marte's back. You know a lot of the guys
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you're not counting on are doing some things. But man,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: this this team looks good. If they keep swinging all
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: like this, it's gonna be hard for them not to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be number one in a lot of his power rankings.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Hey, that's a little bit of a foreshadowing, if you will. Aja.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: By the way, Anthony Dicomo writes for MLB dot Com
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: not the Athletic, My apologies, Eric. This is a Mets
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: team that is doing things that perhaps we thought wouldn't
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: be possible because I didn't think their starting rotation was
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: as good as it is. I know we're talking the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Mets offense, but are we not giving the Mets rotation
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: enough credit?
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: No, we're definitely not. We're definitely not giving the offense
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: enough credit. I mean we're trying to right now, with
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: with his tweet about twenty three runs in eight innings.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Guess who's not doing this? They're seven hundred and sixty
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: five million dollar man is just average, Like he's just
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: I think it's seven yeah one twenty two ops plus,
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: so he's twenty two percent above league average. But his
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: ops is seven seventy two. When he gets hot, ish,
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: the rest of his lineup is gonna be looking unbelievable.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: But the starting rotation right now, every week we say it,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: is it gonna how's it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Gonna held hold up? Well?
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: Now we're in about a year and two months now
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: of the David Stearns era of this pitching staff not
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: having that number one marquee name, and it's holding up
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: quite fine.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Aja, Does that mean when Juan Soto gets things going,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the Mets are just unstoppable? Or do you think the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: rest of the lineup comes back to earth.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: If the rest of the lineup stays hot like this?
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: But everyone, listen, the season is like this. As a player, okay,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you try to keep your lows as high as you can,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and you're highs as high as you can, so you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: always want to be high like Scott Just kidding, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you want to be like this.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you want to keep your lows as high
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: as possible.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And the thing is is that I think, well, obviously
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Wan Soda is going to get it going out. They
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: need pe Alonzo to keep swinging it because Juan Soto
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: might not get pitches to hit if Pee Alonso doesn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: stay hot. But I think that this lineup has sustainability.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: They've done it before. They did it for the second
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: half last year. I think the pitching as good as
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: they've been. Yes, I know they've been good, but I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: a little worried because they do use their bullpen more
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: than almost any other team in baseball.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: They have to get more length from their starting pitching.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: They need Manaia back.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not counting on Montas to come back, but they
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: need Manaia back. They need Sanga to stay healthy, they
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: need Peterson to keep throwing the way he's throwing, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they need some length because the bullpen eventually gets worn
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: out crats as you've seen.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Well it also to your point, AJ and Kratz, I
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: want you to talk about this. Aj Mentor could miss
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: significant time as the Mets mold their options. I mean,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: this is a guy that was pitched really well one
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: six four era a uh in thirteen appearances. As Aj mentioned,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: they use their bullpen arms quite a bit. How do
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: you think this impacts them?
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: Cute? You can't.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: You can't take a dude out of the out of
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: the bullpen rotation that is a prime inning eater. He's
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: not the left on left specialists like most teams have,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: like a lefty specialist. But it does take them down
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: to essentially one guy in their bullpen, Danny Young.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Who throws left handed.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: And you got to go through the gauntlet of the
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: of the NL East that has some pretty.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Good left handed hitters, Schwarber, Harper, Olsen.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: You want to turn Ozzy Albi's around like there's there's
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: some there's some navigating that they have to do through
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: this bullpen when you lose a piece like this, and hey,
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: you know what this is. This is me hating on them.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: You just think there's going to be some regression. But
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: there's regression. You already have a four and a half
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: game lead. Like it's a good problem to have if
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: you're the Mets to say, okay, now we have some
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: time to figure out how to replace AJ Mintter, because
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: that's a huge huge shoes to fill.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Is he replaceable?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Aj?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: He's been one of baseball's top left handed relievers since
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, not just this season, I mean since twenty seventeen,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: a three to two eight earned run average over eight
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: seasons with the Braves before joining the Mets on that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: two year, twenty two million dollar deal. So eleven million
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: a year for AJ Minter at this point seems like
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a steal. But if he's hurt for the long term,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's a that's a big void to fill.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, this is a huge This is a huge blow.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And especially being a left hand and throws one hundred
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: with like a ninety five mile hour cutter. This guy's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: not a fun at baffer at lefty and in this division,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: like krat says, there's a ton of lefties that you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: have to run through in order to be able to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: win this division. And this is a big blow. Now,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: can the Mets recover from it? Yes, hopefully he's not
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: out for long, but it's still early in the year.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: There's people that can make move whatever it is. So
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it's not like this happened in September, where then you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: going in the postseason. You're scrambling to find that lefty
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: David Stearns. The Mets have plenty of time to recover
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: from this. Let's just hope he comes back. Is he
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is a weapon, and he's fun to watch pitch too.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: He gets excited, he gets emotional, he pumps his fists.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is someone that I enjoy watching.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Glad I don't have to hit off of them.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you guys obviously have caught a lot of different
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: guys than While we're not certain that aj Mentor is
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: going to have to have surgery, Carlos Mendez saying it's
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: a pretty significant issue. It's a lat issue. So from
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a mechanic perspective, Eric, when you have a picture that
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: has a lat issue, how does that affect him?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I have no idea. I'll be honest.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: I've never hurt, like, like, the only time your lats,
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: my lat ever hurts is when you do lat pulldowns
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: when you're lifting. Like pitchers get this. It's not it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: not something that catchers get or it's not like, oh man,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: you know, my lad is really sore. But the times
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: that I did pitch, I threw off the mound. Yes,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: lat in my and you know the back of my
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: shoulder would get sore afterwards. And so you sit there
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: and you go, what is that from? Well, it's all
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: part of the deceleration process. It's all part of anything
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: lat and in the back is what slows everything down.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: And so you're afraid that if that's the issue, you
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: gotta make sure it's one hundred percent when you come back,
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: because then what's taking the brunt of it slowing it down.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: It's the elbow And that's no boy, no, that's that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent guarantee of.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: A year PRATS.

  Speaker 6: promo code foul AJ.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: He said, mentor did that he would probably rather rehabit
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: than obviously go straight to surgery. But in your experience,
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and I don't know that you've had a lot issue,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: but in your experience, can guys make it worse by
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: trying to rehabit and work their way through it versus
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: just having the surgery and getting it done.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know this. I'm gonna listen.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I played with Japevy who basically tore his lat off
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: his bone back here like it was a bad one.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: He was like the first guy had ever heard of
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: doing this, and they had to reattach his lad and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: he went on a pitch for a bunch more years,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what his surgery or what his
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: significant injury and what significant time means. If he has
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: surgery now and it gets him back before the end
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of the year, I would rather have him have surgery
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: now now. If he rehabs and doesn't get better and
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: then misses the rest of the year and summoned the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: next year, he should have done it earlier. But again
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the surgery could possibly be. Is
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he done for the year if he automatically has surgery,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If he rehabs it for two months
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and then it still misses the year and is ready
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: for spring training?
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Is that fine? Sure?
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: But whatever it is, the Mets just don't want him
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to be out for the entire year and have him
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: if he is out for the entire year, have him
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: ready for spring training next year.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: What's the next man? In mentality? Who do you think
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: this is? Is it from within, Eric, or do you
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: think they as AJ was alluding to earlier, You go
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: out and get somebody now.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: I mean David Stearns would just say whoever, I could
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: claim off that the DFA list like that's what he
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: did in Milwaukee.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: That's what he's done, not essentially done in New York.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: But you're not gonna go and get anybody, So it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: really within who is it. You know, Budo has to
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: step up. Ryan Stannick has to step up. I'm trying
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: to see who else here read Garrett's already read Garrett
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: and Max Max Kranick are unbelievable. They've been lights out,
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Like we're talking like a whip of nothing era plus
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: of two point fifty two. Brazabah's been stepping up. To me,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: they already have the guys in the main spots in
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: the uh in the game, deep in the game. They're
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: gonna have to have the other guy. Stanick, to me,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: is the guy. If I'm listing all those people out stand,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: it's the guy who has done it before. He's opened
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: a ton for the Rais, but he also has pitched
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: late innings, closed out games. To me, he's got to
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: step up, and I think with his veteran experience, that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: the guy. That's why you get veteran guys to fill
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: out your book, a.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Guy that can do a lot of different things. The
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Mets are off to their best thirty game start guys
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: to start a season since two thousand and six. We'll
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: have to see what happens in terms of this mentor
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: situation a team that's also making some history the other
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: direction though, AJ the Colorado Rockies, they lost to the
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Braves eight to two. They have lost sixteen of their
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: last seventeen guys. They're four and twenty five, and we
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: talked about it a couple of days ago that they
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: are on pace to actually best your Chicago White Sox
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: AJ for the worst record in a single season. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: it's only been a year. It's April AJ, and they're
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: fifteen and a half games out of first place.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: What gives, They're not very good. And you know what
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: this is is we've talked We.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Have talked about the Rockies and talked about the Rockies
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: on the show, and I don't know if anyone else
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: talks about the Rockies as much as we do. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: what gives is it's the same story with the Rockies.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: All the time they have in house, they stay inside
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: their house. They never go out. And they yes, now
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and got Chris Bryant, but they needed more than that.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: They haven't figured out the pitching in Corsefield. They haven't
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: figured out position playing in Corsefield. It's just the same
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: old story with the Rockies, and everything ever changes. They
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: have some young prospects come up, Aronatto, Tulowitzki, all these guys,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: and they get pretty decent, and they either trade them
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: away or do something else. And now it's just everything
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: is going wrong for the Rockies and they're in division
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: that doesn't help them out with the Dodgers, d Backs, Giants, Padres.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so the fans keep coming.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: The ownership says, so what we draw too and a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: half million every year, We'll be fine. We'll keep making
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: our money. But something's got to give in Colorado. I
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: don't know what that is because I don't pay attention
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to them enough other than to talk about on here.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: But to be four and twenty five, I'm gonna be
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: completely honest with you. I feel sorry for the players,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: and it's I was embarrassed as a White Sox fan
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: last year because losing one hundred and twenty one games,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and I was just watching You're born twenty five like someone.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Something has to give here, and I'm not calling for
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: anybody to get fired. I'm not calling for anybody to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: lose their job. Or this or that, but at some
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: point you got to make some changes.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, honest to goodness, though, like I grew up
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: in Colorado, I'm born and raised in Colorado. I covered
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: that team for five seasons and the Rockies are lucky
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: right now that the Avalanche and the Nuggets are in
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: the postseason. And let's be honest, it is a Denver
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Broncos town. It always has been, it always will be.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: The Rockies, though, don't have this rabid fan base in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: which they need to put together a winning product on
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: the field. And obviously, you know, a Bud Black or
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: whatever might be the scapegoat. He's on a year to
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: year deal. But Kratz Clint Hurtle became the new hitting
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: coach who used to be their former manager. I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the Rockies are loyal to a fault and they constantly
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: promote from within instead of getting outside of the organization
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: and offering perhaps a different look, a different voice, a
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: different perspective. But Clint Hurtle, you know, he's not the
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: second coming of the Messiah. I mean, and I have
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: a great amount of respect for Clint, but it's not
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: the hitting coach.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: It's not the hitting coach. But I don't think they've
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: won since he's become the hitting coach either, So that
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: equal not a lot of scoring of runs. We talked
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: about two teams on each end of the spectrum. The
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Mets absolutely killing it. Almost every one of their players
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: on their roster has an above average, has above a
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: zero war They're all producing and adding four guys on
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: the Rockies are producing positive. Jordan Beck has been doing
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: awesome Goodroom's been really stepping up behind the plate, being
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: able to learn behind Jacob Stallings. But you just wonder
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: why why the decisions that they make to bolster this team,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: to add to this team aren't really related to winning.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: In my opinion, the front office has super athletic players
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: all over the field, and maybe that's their mo They're like, Hey,
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: we're gonna have athletes. We're gonna have Tovart, Sure, gold Glove,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: We're gonna have Brett, you know, Doyle, Brenton Doyle and
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: centered gold Glove is how we're going to build this team. Great,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: then add in some guys that are gonna be able
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: to help lead these guys and help push them across,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: but also.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Add some pitching. Stoplake, I get it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: You know you have I think Ryan Feltner's has the
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: lowest er on the team, and it's like a four
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: to five. He doesn't pitch in They don't all pitch
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: in Colorado every single day you go on the road.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: Of those sixteen games, probably half were on the road.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: So the excuses are not going to change. They have
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: to as an organization figure out how to build this roster,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: to put a product out on the field that is
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: not four and twenty five twenty nine games into the season.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And that is partly because they gave, you know, Chris
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Bryant a monster contract, and congratulations to Chris Bryant, by
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: the way, who just hit ten years of service time.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: But he's played you know, six games in the last
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: three years. Do you let Nolan Arnatto go or you
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: trade them away? You let DJ Lemyhew go, you let
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Trevor Story go, you trade away some your key pieces.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, Charlie Blackman didn't want to leave Colorado because
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: he likes to fly fish. But the point is they
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: just don't They don't surround They don't give themselves much
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: of a chance to win on that team. I think
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: they care a lot about, you know, making it a
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: good atmosphere in terms of fans for other things to do,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: but baseball doesn't necessarily the priority in my opinion. When
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: it comes to the rock show.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: If you want a razor that looks good, makes you
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: look good, gets the shave done, and doesn't cost much.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Uh oh oh, it's it nice.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: That's a hairy john and you can smell it too,
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: smell it.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Oh wow, that's Harry's. That's the shave tel. I'm telling you.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, you look scary man fresh coming coming.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: I don't want to touch it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Looks like German engineered blades, maybe their own factory, that
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: stay sharp longer.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: I'm using the razor and it does not. You can
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: start to feel when he gets dull. I mean you
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: guys only do like here and like up here. True,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: I'm doing acreach. Get the edge on your shave with Harry's.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Normally their trial set is ten dollars, but right now
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: you can get it for just six dollars at Harrys
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: dot com slash foul. That's our exclusive link Harry's dot
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: com slash foul for a six dollars trial set.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: Well, this is crazy, guys. Juli will be dfad. According
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: to Ajkassavel who covers the Padres and Mason McCoy will
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: head to the injured list as the corresponding moves. Mike
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Schultz said that McCoy dislocated his pinky finger in his
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: left hand on Saturday night. So for the first month,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: it's felt like every day the Padres were adding someone
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: new to the IL. Today brought a welcome change. For
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: the first time this year, they activated a player from
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: the IL, so Yuli is DFA. But they're getting a
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: lot of reinforcements back.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Eric.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: What do you make of the move?
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It's part I mean, this is where where he's at.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I think I'm not sure how many bats he had
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: in triple A last year. Like, he's not afraid to
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: try to latch on somewhere. So it's I guess it
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: sounds inconsiderate of me, but it's all part he wants
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: to keep playing. You're not necessarily the number one guy
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: on the totem pole anymore. Hey, you gotta you gotta
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: go out there, and you got to grind it out,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: and DFA and going back down to the bushes. All that,
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: all that is in play for him, and that's the
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: life he's living right now.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, That says a lot about a guy too.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: When you had a decent big league career. I mean,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: you've seen some of the heights of this game on
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: the biggest level, and you're like, you know what, I
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: love it enough. I'm not ready, don't you. Guys always
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: say that I'm not going to be done until they're
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: gonna have to like rip the jersey off of me.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, is that what we're thinking aj with Juli
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Guriel that perhaps you know, he can figure it out
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: and get on with another big league club.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: He loves baseball. He loves baseball, and he's not done
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: with it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I listen, I was fortunate enough to play it until
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I was like I'm done. I got to a point
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: where I'm like, I'm done. I don't want to grind through,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you know, a non roster invite and then possibly get
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: sent down a trip. I'm like, dude, I'm forty years old.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this for a long time. But I
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: was very fortunate. And there's guys that just love playing.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: You look up all the time and you're like, man,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: why is this guy still playing? But they just love baseball.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They love playing as long as your family's okay with it,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and they say, go play again.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Go play.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: If that's what you want to do, go play, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: a team will have you and listen. And like Kratz said,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Gary L's in a spot where you're not going to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: get a ton of it bats. He was kind of
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: a bench player, and if there's someone else that comes up,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: then that's you're usually the first guy to go. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: it sucks to be in that situation. But if he
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: loves playing, he wants to keep going.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Go for it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You only, you've had a great career. Maybe you can
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: get get hot again and help a team win another
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: World Series.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: Some guys, some guys are like, oh, why would he
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: keep playing? You know, he's played for Maybe there's milestones
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: that he wants to get to. He has two more homers,
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: is one hundred homers. He's forty, he's almost forty one
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: years old. If his body feels good playing, he's just
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: short of eight years. Maybe he's you know, the gold
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: card is a big thing in the big leagues.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: He's only playing for just under eight years.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: Like he was in he made his debut at thirty two,
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: So he made his debut late. Somebody that made his
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: debut late, like me, I played till I was forty.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I could have physically kept playing, but there's other things that,
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: like AJ said, sometimes say Okay, you know what, it's
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: time to go home. And family is one of them.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Your health is another one. And if he has the
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: backing of both of those, keep getting it. Get that huntered, Homer.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Everybody has their own time frame of when they say,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: you know what, I'm good, I've enjoyed this, but it's
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: time to take it to the house. The Philadelphia Phillies
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: guys did something yesterday that we have seen before, but
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: we don't see it often. It was their first walk
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: off wild pitch there as anyway since April twenty sixth
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: of nineteen ninety three. The Nats took the lead in
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: the top of the ninth. After that wild pitch led
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: to a run and then a three run Homer. Don't
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: give up any outs, Aj, this is what can happen.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Oh what a bad sequence right there for the I
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: think it was Cabert Ruiz bad sequence.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: You see his disappointment. He missed the throw.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: I mean they Dylan Cruz threw, had him dead out
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: on a sack fly and he missed the throw. It
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: is a tough hop, but he missed it. He tried
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to tag him. And then the wild pitch just he
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: saw the frustration, the disappointment when he put his head
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: down after trying to get that. But great win for
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: the Phillies, bad, bad loss for the Nats, especially after
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the three run Homer to put him up and to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: give up two in the bottom of the nighte It
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: just it's one of the those are like gut wrenching
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: losses for a team. I know that the Nationals aren't
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: supposed to do anything, but those those hurt, man, they hurt.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: If you're good or a bad team, trust me that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: those are the ones that stick with you for a while.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Boom singles, Thot walked, Rojas sackfly for Boom to score,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: bringing Stot to third. And then that wild pitch that
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: we just saw by Kyle Finnagin and Cabert Ruiz not
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: able to at the playdown. I mean, this again is
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: a gut punch. Obviously on the other side, though, Eric,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: you got to be feeling pretty good. If you're the Phillies,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: You're like, all right, I mean, we were gonna take
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: the win anyway that we can get it. And while
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: it's a gut punch for the Nets. It's almost a
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: boost for your pills.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, the Philly's got to figure out ways to
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: win in different ways, especially when you're giving teams four
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: or five outs in the late innings. I get it,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Cooker and gave up the home run.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: That was a huge swing by Nathaniel. But like you
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: can't if your gold glove in center field, you can't
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: underrun a ball like the ball was rocketed, but you
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: know he misplayed it. Trey Turner didn't make the play
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: on a decently routine throw. You just can't late in
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: the games. You cannot allow relievers to stay out there
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: any extra outs because teams are going for broke. They're
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: not trying to just manufacture runs. They're going for broke
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: against those guys. And right now that bullpen needs all
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: the help it can get. Alvarado, oh my gosh, getting
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: out of a bases loaded three straight strikeouts, getting out
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: of bases loaded jam. It looked like the Phillies were
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: just gonna cruise after that, and then a little defensive miscues.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: So to win that is huge, And the demoralizing part
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: for the Gnats is they had their best guy out there.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: They had Finigan out there, and it was like when
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: you use your your closer, some of your main relievers
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: in a close game, you're like, we gotta win this game,
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: and when you don't win it, you're like, crap, those
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: guys might not be up tomorrow, or they might be
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: up tomorrow, maybe not the third game of the series.
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: So you're always that's the demoralizing part for the Gnats.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: But yeah, a wins, a win's a win.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: You guys talked about how the Nationals probably this isn't
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: the year that they're expected to do much. You think
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Kyle Finnegan is a trade piece?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, I think everybody.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I think everybody other than would and Cruise and maybe
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: keeber in Abrams, there's like four of them. Other than that,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I think everybody's possibly on the block. Is you got
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to keep getting better, keep improving, And Microzo knows that,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Dave Martinez knows that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right, We're going to talk a little
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: bit of Yankees offense. Momentarily, Yanks hit four home runs
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: in the first inning yesterday. Guys, that's pretty good offense.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is a team that's suggesting in terms
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: of rosters, you know, adjusting in terms of injuries. They're
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: an offense, so not missing a beat regardless of one
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Soto not being in it, they're not.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: And there's guys that are still struggling. I mean, there's
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: there's some low batting averages, there's some lower than career
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: norm Ops's anytime you have the best hitter on the
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: planet right now, I'm not saying he's the best hitter
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: in the game, but he's making a strong case for it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: An Aaron Judge, it just it's like it permeates the
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: rest of the lineup in the sense of how do
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: you pitch these guys? Somebody that is taking advantage of it?
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Are since a two guys that are taking advantage of it?
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: They were both hitting around Aaron Judge yesterday. Trent Grisham
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: is off to a flaming hot start and he has
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: earned extra at bats and earned that leadoff spot. And
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Ben Rice. I was talking to somebody with the Yankees organization.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: When it's time to send somebody down, it's definitely not
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: gonna Ben Rice. But where do you play him? G
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: comes back? G comes back? It's like, Okay, where do
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: you play him? He's been catching thoughts in the organization
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: are he will be able to catch. He will be
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: able to catch at above average level. His receiving, which
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: is the super Mondo value that they give catchers, is
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: above average in the minor leagues. So ben Rice, I'm
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: not saying he's gonna push Austin Wells out. I'm saying
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: Ben Rice is gonna be getting at bats and when
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: g comes back, when John Carlostant comes back, you can't
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: be throwing him in dh and putting G out in
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: the outfield or.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Something like that. Those are G spots.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Ben Rice might start taking some AB's behind a dish too,
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: because that stick is hot too.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll find a place for him with that bat.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: They're going to find a place for him. Trent Grishamer
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: and Judge Ben Rice all went deep setting that tone
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: in the fifteen to three route of the Orioles Guys
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: at Camden Yards, and of course Cody Bellinger also went
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: for the New York Yankees.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: One of the things that I like to do is
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: make sure we celebrate things on the show, things that
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: need to be celebrated, Like aj I got nothing to
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: celebrate with you, so it's not about you Alana, can
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: I announce that you are going to be a with
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: joining Nesson as a general sports reporter.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Congratulations, Oh thank you?
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, thanks guys. No, it's it's not as big
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: as it sounds. I appreciate it. I'm excited to join.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: They have a great team at Nesson, and I'm excited
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: just to be over there as a fill in. I'm
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: doing a a alt cast with Jared Carrabas, Boston Red
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Sox super fan, and Jonathan papal Von perhaps you've heard
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: of him, So it's me, Pap and Carabas, and then
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: I'll and then I'll just be filling in a couple
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: times on sideline and hosting. So no big deal, no
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: big deal. But I do appreciate Nesson for welcoming me
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: to their team.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Thank you, congrats new Homer. I'm so glad. So we
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: now we know it would be Red Sox and Dodgers picks.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: So nice.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Nice and your home.
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah what I know, I'm only forty five minutes from Fenway. Yeah,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: so one American League team, one National League team?
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: There?
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: You happy?
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: What about the Rockies? That's three teams?
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: No, I don't know. No, I haven't been a fan
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: of the Rockies in a very very long time. I'm
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: a fan of Colorado. I'm not a fan of the
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Rockies for obvious reasons. But the Nuggets and the Avs
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: and the Broncos and the Buffs. Yes, I am uh.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I am excited about all of those.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Teams, especially number.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Should they have number absolutely not, absolutely not. Deon Figures
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: is the number two that should have been retired if
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: there was going to be a number two that have
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: been Figures when we actually won the National championship back
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety. This is pretty crazy, guys. I don't
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: know if you saw the game yesterday, but Keiky Hernandez
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: of the Dodgers the only Major League player in the
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: modern era to score multiple runs, play multiple positions, and
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: have a scoreless outing on the mound, all in a
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: game in which he did not start. This via Opti stats.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: It was pretty crazy. Interesting though. This came in a
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: laugher a win for the Dodgers eleven to two, and
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Kik ended up I think they won fifteen to two,
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: and Kik ended up pitching in this game with some
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: very interesting headgear. But there you have it. You never
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: know what you're going to see in a baseball game.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Aja, that's great.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: The best part was, he's the first person I've seen
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: where the head gear you got weak contact.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, scoreless inning came in.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you call that head gear, but
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: I know it has a name for it and it's
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: supposed to protect pitchers heads.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: But he started wearing.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: This in spring training. He started wearing this nonsense in
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: spring training, like he was he was doing pfps with
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: this nonsense on his head.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: At least he has fun.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: At least he has twenty one players to have fun.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: He's having fun. And I know it was getting hit
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: in the head is serious, but I don't know. It's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the first one I've seen where and it just looks
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: like a helmet but smaller.
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: He definitely was looking around the equipment. He was looking
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: around the equipment Chad and said, I want this, I
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: need it, and I'm going to use it once I
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: get out there pitching this year.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: And he did it first time.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: Key K has pitched at home too, by the way,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: he has pitched before. The only position key K has
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: not done is the U two. He has not caught,
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: but he has pitched several times before, all on the road.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: This time though, a position player pitching at home in
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: a win fifteen to two over the fish Los Angeles
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Dodges your team and mine. So there you have it.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: So okay, good for them. Opportunity for I think the
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: sweep today, right, Jay's Wednesday? Correct? I think they can
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: go for Actually, they're playing in like half an hour.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: We can watch that here shortly. As soon as we're
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: done with foul territory, you guys can watch the Mighty Dodgers.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, time for Bobby Witt. By the way,
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: this guy is pretty pretty pretty special. His hit streak
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: reaches twenty games. AJ, this is a kid that you
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: said you would build a franchise around, and he's proven.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: You right, by the way, nice curb enthusiasm reference there,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Alana second one of the day.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this kid's good. He's really good.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I wish someone else on the team would hit with
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: him though, to give him a little bit of help.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: But twenty games in a row is impressive. The Royals
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: are kind of getting it going a little bit. They're
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: hoving around five hundred in a nice chance, but they
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: need someone else to hit behind him. But absolutely, when
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I start a franchise, if I had to make a
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: pick right now, shortstop, speed, power, all the things you
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: look for, great in the community, loves being and he signed.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: To a long term deal. YEP, sign me up for
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Bobby Wit fan Club.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. He is an all around good player. He's an
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: all around good human. And I would be remiss if
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I didn't talk about Scotti Paccino, who is Bobby Witt
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Junior's agent with Octagon. Unfortunately, Scotty passed away a couple
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: of days ago after his battle with cancer. He's a
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: good friend of ours, So our thoughts and prayers are
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: with his wife Meg. They're two boys. Scotti Pacino has
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: been an agent for forty years, the last fifteen with Octagon.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: He was at Bobby Wit Junior's wedding, a huge part
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: of their family. He negotiated the largest contract ever for
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Mariners and Felix Hernandez. So our thoughts and
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: prayers are with Meg and the boys, and we appreciate
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: everything that Scotty did for this great game of ours.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: All right, AJ, you know better than anybody when you
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: are behind the dish and you're catching a guy that's
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: coming off of the injured list, you know you don't
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: know exactly what you're gonna get the Dodgers activating right
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: hand or Tony Gonsolin from the il they wrote right hand.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: They optioned rather right handed pitcher Matt Sower, who had
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: a really get outing his last time out, eating up
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: some innings for the Dodgers. When you're behind the plate
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: and you have a guy that's coming off of an injury,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: in this case, it was a weightlifting accident right before
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: the season started, what are you looking for in terms
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: of stuff and complexion.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Health?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for him to be healthy and show me
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: some stuff. Show me, show me spurts of good stuff
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: that I saw before you were injured. Whether it's Will
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Smith or Austin Barnes catching, it's just show me good stuff.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Show me a little bit. Just give me a sneak peek, Alana,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that you have a good slider, that you have a
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: good split, that you have your fastball. Because you know
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be good your first time out there.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: It's not going to be great, more than likely, but
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: just show me enough small snippets so I can go
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: to the pitching coach. Mark Pryor and Dave Robertson say oh,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: we had a couple good fastballs, he threw a couple
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: good splits, or he threw whatever. It was, just show
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: me enough to where I can go to the coaches
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: and say he's got something. We can build on that.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: And honestly, the Dodgers right now, aj they have only
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: four health the starting pitchers, and that includes Gonsolin, who's
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: coming back today for the first time in this season.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: How do you not put too much pressure on that
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: right arm because you know that you're down a guy,
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: and two of the guys that are healthy pitch once
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: a week.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: How do you not put too much pressure on him?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: You're the Dodgers, you say, give us four innings and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: we go to the bullpen every game. They do that
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: in the World Series, they could have a guy out
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: they're throwing a no hitter, Alona, you know, it's better
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: than anybody they could. They could have Tyler Glasta out
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: there in the World Series throwing a no hitter in
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: the fourth and they're like, yep, second time through. Sorry,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: we're gonna bring in our bullpen to try to close
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: this thing out. So there's no pressure on you if
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: you're a Dodger starter, because even if you're doing unbelievable.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: They're still probably gonna be like, yep, third time three,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: let's go to the bullpen and get up better matchups.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: But no, Gonsolin should be fine. He's been around long enough,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: he's been through enough. He's been through a bunch of injuries.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: He knows what it's like to come back. And if
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: you're a Dodgers fans, they're gonna make the postseason. Everyone
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: take a deep breath. That's why I have them number
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: one of my power rankings.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: All right, that's why they're number two on mine.
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: Fefty fan excited to introduce you to Rowback with the
• 35:02

• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Lance mccullor's junior will start for the Astros, Aj Pierzinski
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: on Sunday against your White Sox. It's his first start
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: since two thousand and two in the World Series. You
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: looking for the same just health?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Uh No, this is a bigger story to me than
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: no offense to Tony Gonsolin. But this is a bigger story.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: Why is this a bigger story for me? Because I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: believe a Lance mccullors is important piece for the Astros
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: if they want to get back to the postseason and
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: win the division like they have for a bunch of
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: years in a row. Now, he needs to be healthy
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: and plus he hasn't pitched in three years, almost like
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: this is a huge deal. I know we talked to
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: him last spring training and how he was just itching
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: to get back out there. So I'm proud of him
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: for sticking with it getting back out there, and I
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: hope it goes really well. And I hope Lance mc
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: cullors can have a great career and end his career
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: healthy because this guy's been through a lot. We mentioned Gonsol,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: lice of Colors has been through a lot, the highs,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the lows, everything in between that this guy deserves to
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: get healthy, get back out on a big league mound.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So to me, this is a big.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Story now, no question about it. I mean, he's a
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: much bigger cog to that rotation for the Astros than
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Gonsolin is as a cog to the Dodgers. Thirty one
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: years old, a forty nine and thirty two record with
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: a three four eight ERA AJ in one hundred and
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: thirty games. That's one hundred and twenty seven start, so
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: he has seen it. Now, this is a guy that
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: has had four rehab outings. His last outing on Saturday,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: he orger. He had his longest start, going seven innings
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: and he fanned five. What would that tell you if
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: you were behind the dish catching.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: That he's throwing strikes to get the strikeouts. Whatever, it
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But the seven innings is what's important because
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: that means he was throwing the ball over the plate.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Right again, that's what you want to see. Can he
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: throw it over the plate? Can he get guys out
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: of his stuff? He proved it mccullors did in the
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: minor leagues. Now he gets to face the White Sox.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Can he do it against the White Sox? A big
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: league team? But he threw it over the plate. Because
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the the important thing is seven innings. That means he
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: was up and down seven different times, warm cold, warm, cold, updowns.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: We call him updowns, right, he had seven updowns. That's
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: a huge thing because that means he's feeling good, he's healthy,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: because if there was any little snag, they would have
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: shut him down.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: But to see seven innings huge for the Astros.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: How much does mccullor's return, if he is healthy and
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: legitimately can take the ball every five days, how much
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: of a boost is that to a starting rotation of
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: the Astros that is not nearly as deep and not
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: nearly as formidable as they have been in the last
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: decade and change?
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, if Hunter Brown keeps pitching the way he's pitching,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: and then you have Fromber, who we all know how
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: good Fromber can be when he's right, and then you
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: throw in Blanco through the no hitter last year, and
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: then you put Lance mccallors in the middle of that
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: with whoever the fifth guy is, whoever the other person
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: is in that rotation. You're getting better. You're getting to
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: a point where that could be a playoff rotation. Now
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: you need Lance McCullers Junior to be healthy and be
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: able to pitch every fifth day. And if he's able to,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, you go into playoff series with Brown, Valdez, mccullars, Blanco,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: whoever else you throw in there, that's a pretty good start.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: With their back end with Hater and a Bray you,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that's a dangerous pitching staff to go into a postseason with.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: If they had stronger pitching, let's say, yeah, let's say
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: mcculler's was healthy or he is healthy moving forward with
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: stronger pitching, would they have made your power rankings this week?
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: No?
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: No, no, okay, no, I'm not quite there yet because
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: I think there's there's American League teams that are better
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: than them, and I think the National League, any National
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: League teams before you get to an American League team,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: and what the Astras are second or third or behind
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: their third place?
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: I think so.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it would help, definitely would help because a
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: record would get better.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm a record guy.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I'm a wins losses guy, Alana, I'm not like you,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and I belt with my head, not with my heart.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, moving on with White Sox whatever, All right, Baseball
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: reference their current odds to win the twenty twenty five
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: World Series based on their Simple Rating system AJ now.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: The Simple rating system in Baseball Reference is a rating
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: that takes into account a team's average margin of victory,
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: so runs scored versus runs allowed, and its strength of schedule.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: Right now, the Cubs lead the league at fifteen point
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: nine percent. Are you buying this?
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: No?
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not either.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I just put I bet with my head and not
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: with my heart. Alanna, And you think I'm going to
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: ever buy the Cubs to win anything?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Now? Oh so that's that's but that's your head, not
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: your heart.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes me totally totally. Didn't you listen to
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Mitch s Bannon?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: When a team disappoints you for so many years, you
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: just start expecting him to disappoint you. I just can't
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: believe that the Dodgers in the Mets, I mean the
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Tigers too, Okay, but the Dodgers are ninth.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: How did the Dodgers have a five point winning the
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: World Series? How is the How are the Phillies at
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: point six? I don't under I don't understand this again,
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: runs scored versus runs the loud and strength of schedule.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: But I just I'm not buying this. I mean the
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: teams with less than zero percent or less than zero
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: point one percent, I will buy this. The Angels, I'm sorry,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: but the Rangers have a much better chance than zero
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: point one percent to win the World Series. The White
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: Sox are right, I'll take that. Baltimore, that's a little
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: low for them. I don't know that they're going to
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: make the postseason. But come on, Colorado, buy that. Pittsburgh
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: I don't buy it. Saint Louis, I don't buy it. Washington,
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: I don't buy it. Miami I buy it. The Athletics
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: I buy it, and the Twins I don't buy it.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Less the one point one percent. That seems a little.
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: It seems a little too low.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: How are they okay? The Rockies are ahead of the Orioles.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: The Rockies are ahead of anybody right now?
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Come on, didn't be ahead?
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I know they The Rangers are twenty ninth. Here's my thing.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: The Red Sox point five percent.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I think they have a better chance because if they
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: get in with Crochet Bueller some of their guys and
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Endeavors gets hot and Bragman gets hot.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: It's I don't know.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, listen, Yeah, but I mean, come on, like,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: this is I don't know how they did this thing,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: but the fact that the Rockies aren't thirtieth on this
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: list makes this listen.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: That's all you need to That's all you need to know.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: The fact that the Rockies are twenty fifth on anything
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: out of thirty clubs right now. And again, I love
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: Baseball Reference. I go to it a thousand times a day,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: but this is this one's a little suspect. Evan Grant
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: does a great job covering the Texas Rangers for the
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Dallas Morning News. He's also I think the number one
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: reporter that we've had here on Foul Territory as far
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: as appearances are concerned. Carter Watch. Evan Carter was two
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: for four last night, has a one point two seven
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: ops so on base plus slugging, and his last ten
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: games he's reached safely in all seventeen games he has
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: played this season. So that's good. I think the Rangers
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: are better than we're giving them credit for. I have
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: a tremendous amount of belief in that team.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if Evan Carter comes back, is their chance
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: of winning the World Series? That go up from point
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: one percent to higher. I mean, this is a big piece.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: A couple of years ago when they won, Remember everyone
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: was talking about this guy's gonna be a superstar. He
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: was hurt last year. This is exactly what the Rangers
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: wanted to see when they sent him down to Triple A.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Was they want to see him go down there, get
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: some confidence, stay healthy, and then call him back up
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: and hopefully he helps their outfield offensively and defensively, because
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: he was great when he was up a couple of
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: years ago.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: And I would imagine a team that has Jacob deGrom,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: the healthy Jacob Degram, the guy that has unbelievable stuff.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Six innings yesterday with seven k's. I mean, you've got
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: to have a higher chance than point one percent to
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: win the World Series with a guy like that on
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: your staff.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: And big game Nate, don't forget Nivaldi. Nivaldi, yes right, I.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: Mean, and Bruce Bochi knows how to use a bullpen,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: knows how to get bullpen in the right spot. So
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: zero point one percent of me is just crazy and
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: crazy low. But what Langford's been great. They're gonna get seegerback,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Simmon's gonna get going.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: This team has the pieces.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Can they just stay healthy and get it going because
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: they're higher than point one percent for me.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: Apparently everybody was required aj to be on the field
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: yesterday for outdoor batting practice. None of this under the
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: tunnel of batting practice stuff. What does that say to you?
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: With a mandatory VP.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: I took VP on the field every day. I played
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: with The first guy I ever saw do this was
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Nick Markakis, not take VP. I loved going out there
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: when I was playing, especially now. I complained a little
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: bit when I wasn't playing because I was old and crotchety.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: But I liked hitting on the field. I don't know.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I liked it, got a sweat going, It got me
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: used to the conditions. I climatized. H I don't know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: but this.
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: Was this was mandatory for them though. This was mandatory,
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: so everybody, a.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: Lot of I know, I.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Get it's trying to change it up and saying, get
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: your butts out there and let's try to get ready
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: for a game because we ain't been hitting. So he's
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: trying to do something different. He's going back to the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: old school ways, which is fine.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with it. We survived. I don't know how,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: but man, we survived.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Time out of slappands aj Piersinski, Alana Rizzo. Here as
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: we uh close out the show, we talked about the
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Braves. They started oh and seven, aging and disastrous fashion.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: We were running them, sending them to the moon. Since
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: that start, Atlanta leads the National League in w RC
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: plus with one hundred and twenty one Homer's slug percentage
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: w O b A while averaging four point nine five
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: runs per game. Whatever the hell wo but is non Coincidentally,
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: the Braves are thirteen and eight over that span, which
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: is a one hundred win pace. So they went from
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: oh and seven to potentially probably not gonna happen, but
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: to potentially winning one hundred games. This is why I
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: never count out Alexanthopolis and Brian Snicker. I just don't.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Here's what I love. Oh, they're thirteen and eight, They're
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: on pace to win one hundred. What about the oh
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: and seven start? You can't just erase that they're thirteen
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: to fifteen. I'm a Braves guy. I finished my career
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: with the Braves. Snicker was my last manager I played for.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: I grew up a Braves fan. They got a great
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: chance still to make the playoffs because of the extra wildcards. Okay,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: but let's not get crazy and say they're gonna win
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: one hundred games. If they win one hundred games long,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to switch your allegiance from the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Dodgers to the Braves because it would be their chance.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: No chance.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's not happening.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I love this. Every team goes through
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: ups and downs. We've talked about this. They're hot right now.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: They've also who they played and where have they played?
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Where are they playing right now?
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't right.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Colorado, Colorado, Colorado.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: So they got a shot, is what you're saying. So
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: they're saying there's a chance. Speaking of Colorado, how about
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: the Corsfield horror stories? Thirty years of baseball at altitude.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: But I refuse to blame the altitude. This is ownership
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: and this is not putting together a good team on
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: the field. But thirty years ago, Aja, the New York
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Mets and Colorado Rockies opened at Course Field on April
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: twenty six, nineteen ninety five, in a game that would
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: embody the beauty if you were a hitter and the
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: absurdity if you're a pitcher of the ballpark when they
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: combined for twenty runs day and thirty three hits in
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: an eleven to nine fourteen inning, Colorado win.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I love playing in Colorado, and I think what was
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: Walker Bueller at the bottom said, It's not the home
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: runs you give up, it's the bloopers, and you have
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: to make a choice. Bring your in outfielders in to
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: take away the bloopers and let the balls go over
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: your head, or move your outfield back and take away
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: the extra base hits. I always prefer to bring the
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: outfielders in take away the bloops because in those solo
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: homers don't turn into two and three run homers. It
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: is an amazing stadium. The sky there is some of
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: the coolest sky. Whether it rained there and then it
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: was clear and the sky would get these colors. But listen,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: it's a great place to play. They haven't figured it out.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: I'm calling for him to go back to that ninety
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: five ninety six Blake Street bombers.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Baby, let's go.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Let's bring those boys backs, try to outslug everybody.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: No doubt about it. Colorado is one of the most
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: beautiful stadiums and honestly, Corsefield revitalized lower Downtown. That's why
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: they call it LOTO because Corsefield, and it was a
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: disgusting area downtown before Corsefield went in there, and they
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: really did a wonder for the downtown area. It's just
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: it's a beautiful park, it's a beautiful city. It's just
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: unfortunate what's happening with the team. But you're right, it's
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: not just the home runs. The outfield in that park
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: is ridiculous. It's not just the home runs that get you,
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: it's you know, the doubles turned into triples because of
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: the vast outfield at Corsefield. Anyway, that's gonna do it
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: for us here on foul Territory, I am headed to
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: the Derby tomorrow.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: A J.

  Speaker 3: Britt Jeroli is going to be hosting foul Territory, so
• 48:13
