• 0:25
  Speaker 3: in the locker room, all that kind of stuff. For sure.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: You guys saw two of my kids in the pre show.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: I got three of them, three boys, So they're keeping
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: me plenty busy, kind of keeping the real world at
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: bay here for a little bit where I can pop
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: in and do things like this with you guys as
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I try and decide do I stay in the game,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and if I do in what aspect? A year into retirement,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: still don't know anything more than I did a year ago.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: But I'm doing good, man. It's it's fun doing stuff
• 0:48

• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Nice, it's good to see you, dude. Yeah. Looking at
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: some accolades for Strip.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Nice long career and a lot of guys that you're
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: buddies with that are still kicking it in the big league.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: So I want to get your thoughts throughout good guest
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: list today, So let's jump right to it.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Let's charge.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: All right, some fans are gonna complain, but we're hitting
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: the NL East again. Why we're gonna start with the
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: positive side of things. Jared Richie debuts for the Braves
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and the first pitch didn't go well for him. That
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: was turned into a James woodhome run. But then the
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: rest worked out quite well for mister Richie in a
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: win for one of the best looking teams in baseball
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: right now, the Atlanta Braves. It's funny, Todd Father, if
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: I told you the Atlanta Braves have a ton of
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: pitching injuries and Ronald Luacunya and Austin Riley are off
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: to slow starts, you'd be like the Braves are in
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: trouble instead.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Richie's one of the better prospects in the sport.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: I think Baseball America had them ranked seventy three or
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: something like that. Seven strong innings for him, and the
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: pitching coach, Jeremy Hefner for the Braves is loving life
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: As he came over the Mets.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Mets fired him, and the Braves are thriving, they're in
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: first place. The Phillies are mess right now, and the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: Mets now have won a couple in a row. But
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: what do you think about Atlanta?
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's what I was going to get to,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Like you would think if this is kind of opportunity
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: that the Braves have, they'd be in the Mets and
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: Philly shoes right now. But you know, I think it's fantastic.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: You know, with Chris Sale at the Helm, these guys
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: they're playing together. They got two of their big guns
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: that aren't really doing much. That goes to showing you,
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: shows you a sign of a good team in my opinion.
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: And when they eventually do well, yeah, somebody else is
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: going to trickle down and you know the numbers are
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: going to come back to where they need to be.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: But you know, ultimately, let's start with Jered Richie. Fantastic.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: He could have folded like a tent first pitch homer
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: in the Big League that was like, okay, welcome to
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the show. And then he went seven innings and uh,
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: you know, got the win, gave up another home run,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: you know, which was another pitch that was left over
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: the plate, a little change up.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: He looked great. His off speed look great.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: His fastball, you know, not overpowering, but zoning picking out spots.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: I know Strip can talk more about that, but at
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: the same token, fantastic. This is the guy you want
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: on your squad. He looked impressive. He didn't get down
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: on himself after the first pitch of the game. He
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: was stoic, and you know, for first outing he should
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: be excited for these next four.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Days to kind of breathe a little bit.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: And I know Harris was the guy that got injured
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: rounding second base going the third, so we'll see how
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: that goes. But the Braves are winning right now, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: they're winning at the right time because the Phillies stink,
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: the Mets stink, and they're finding ways to get up
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: higher in the rankings.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: And good for them.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think, Strip, It's more the same
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: from the Braves, man. I mean depth getting tested here early,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: and each guy just keeps stepping up. You know, I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: saw they haven't lost the series yet. They're seven to
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: zero to one to start their twenty twenty six campaign.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Haven't lost a series, And like you said, Todd, I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: mean just creating space between the Mets and the Phillies,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the two teams that were supposed to compete at the
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: top of that division, and all of a sudden they're
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: down there at nine and sixteen, eight and seventeen, below
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the Colorado Rockies and the wild Cards. So you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: kudos to the Braves man for creating space and the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: standings here early, giving themselves a little cushion when they're
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: not fully healthy. And it's it's been impressive.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think this was on anybody's radar. We knew
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: they were talented. You know, they're not that far removed
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: from like a World Series run and some really good teams.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: But have you know, tooking a step back last year?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Will they're back to the Atlanta Braves that were used
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: to and then don't. I don't see them slowing down.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: I think they're here and they're for real.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think ultimately, like if you people are like, oh,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: it's nine and a half games, Philly Mets, eight and
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: a half nine, that is a heck of a ton
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: of games to come back, there's got to be a
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: lot of good things that happen. Sure, can they come back?
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: It's only twenty five games, you know, into the season.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: But understand something, a lot of things gotta go right
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: and got to go their way. They need to eventually
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: break off with like a ten and two or you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: fifteen and.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Four kind of run to get back in the mix
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: And it's going to be very hard with how these
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: are and all the pickups that a lot of these
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: teams got because there was a lot of movement this offseason.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: A lot of teams were not afraid to buy, and Scotty,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: We've talked about this numerous times.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: So you know, this is the Nationals, Mets and Phillies.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: You guys are way out of whack here, So.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Keep on fighting. We'll see what happens. But yeah, ultimately
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: that is a lot of games.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Spencer Strider's working his way back too, and looked
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: good the other day in a rehab assignment and he
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: was playing catch with Sean Murphy. Murphy was his catcher.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: So we're gonna let those two coming back at some point.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Hasan Kim was an offseason signing for them. He'll come
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: back at some point. They're going to eventually be pretty deep.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: You know, most of these injuries are not full season injuries,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: so they're going to eventually be in a pretty good
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: spot where they're gonna have a lot of depth. I mean,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: you look at this lineup right now, strip if you're
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: trying to navigate things. I mentioned Acuna is still Akunyi,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: He's just not at the MVP level right now. In
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: the first few weeks of the season with the production,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Drake Baldwin is the rookie of the year from last year.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: He's been insane. Matt Olsen's off to a super super
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: hot start. Albes looks much much better than he did
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So does Harris.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Those two guys last year in the first half of
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: the season were super super uncharacteristic from what we had
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: seen in the past. They both rebounded a little bit,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: especially Harris in the second half when he made some changes.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Tom Smith has been a nice pickup for them.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, you go down this whole lineup, there's really
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: not much that you're concerned about right now. It's like
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the two guys that are starting slow, you know that
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: are going to come around. Mikestremski a little bit of
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: a slow start in a new spot. I think he'll
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: be fine, and then du Bond's been great for them
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: as a pickup that can play everywhere for now, mostly
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: playing shortstop, but eventually when King comes back, he can
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: go everywhere. So you got to really like this team
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: position player wise, and they can probably add an armor
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: to at the deadline. Hey see, geeks got the code
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: still running for everyone that is Territory ten for ten
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: percent off of any tickets with that promo code. So
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: let's have a look at the weekend for a couple
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: of minutes. Here some matchups that we like. Todd Father,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I'm looking at Saturday if we're looking from a pitching perspective.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: So first off, Yankees just swept the Red Sox. Boston's
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: got to get going too. Man, Boston's nine and sixteen.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: I know it's early, but the A least is going
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: to be very competitive. And this is a divisional matchup Saturday.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Crochet with a seven eight eighty RA going up against
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Trevor Rodgers.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: That's a good one.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: That's very good.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I would get a ticket for that, bad boy.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Listen to the ticket.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't like flying too much, but I like
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: to I'll go to LA and see the Cubs versus Dodgers.
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: I mean that seems like a fantastic bout. And I
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: said it about back and forth action. I think I'm
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: gonna get on that flight.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Okay, I would also I'd fly down to Atlanta see
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Wheeler Wheelers from Georgia make his debut.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: That's a good one there.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: So you've also got the Pirates and Brewers matching up
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: this weekend and the Pirates playing pretty well. Of course,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee has the Miz on Saturday, going up against Mitch Keller.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: So yeah, a lot of good names to check out.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Seki can hook you up with a little bit of
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: help too, So the code for you again is Territory
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: one zero. That's for ten percent off any tickets at
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: seat geek. Go get the app right now and make
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: sure you click the link of the description to download

  Speaker 4: it and have the code automatically added to your account
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: so you can use it later.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Thank you to seat Geek.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Well, there's just no get up. There's no letup, right,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's you got your Strimski down there, probably
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: in the nine hole as a righty killer. I've faced
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: him plenty of times and been his teammate as well.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: He hammers change ups and I would still throw it
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to him for some reason, he would still hammer it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: So you got guys like that getting on base at
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the bottom of the lineup and then turn it over
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: to the acunyas in the Albis of the world, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: you're just like, man, there's there's nowhere where I can
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you know, get take my foot off the accelerator a
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: little bit and maybe get a free out, you know.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: And anytime you're facing a lineup that's deep one through nine,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you know you got a tall task ahead of you.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: And that's that's their lineup right now. Like Dom Smith,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: what you said, just an amazing pickup, probably a non
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: roster invite you if I were to remember, and makes
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: the team and is you know, like a nine hundred
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: plus ops guy to start the season. It's just they're
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: all they're firing on all cylinders, man. So if you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: a pitcher, you got to be on your a game.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: So let's get to the other side.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: So this weekend it's the Phillies and Braves matching up,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and there's some highlights. I mean, you get to see
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Andrew Painter, who's only several starts into his career. But
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: then Zach Wheeler makes his season debut, on Saturday. Chris
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Sale is going to pitch for Atlanta on Sunday. What
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: are you thinking about Philadelphia right now?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm thinking chrispher Sanchez. What is going on right?
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: I think? You know, you look at the numbers. He's
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: averaging or giving up nine hits for his last four games,
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: kind of look flat. I watched a little bit of
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: that game yesterday, Summon. The curveball looked a little flat.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: To change up fastball got hit around a little bit.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: And listen, pitchers are like hitters. They all go through
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: little funks. Do I think he'll be fine? Yes, But
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: ultimately you only play every fifth day, so it's got
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: to be wearing on you a little bit. That's the
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: difference between hitting and pitching, because we can come back
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: the next day. As Strip understands too. But yeah, I
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: like that Wheelers coming back. I think he's gonna help tremendously.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: I saw his outing. I saw a couple of highlights
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: of his The curveball was looking good. Swerper said it
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: best yesterday after He's like, listen, if we're gonna put
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: up runs like this and battle like this, ultimately we're
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: gonna be just fine.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: But you know, that's one game they got. They got
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: to keep this going.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: They have a lot of veteran presence which need to
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: step up a little bit and turn this thing around.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree. I mean, I just I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: if you're talking Phillies and Mets, you know, I just
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: would bet on the Phillies experience and their playoff kind
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: of tenure over the last few years as far as
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: being able to turn this thing around. The Mets, for
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: all the talent they have, they just feel like they
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: have a hard time staying in a straight line, moving
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: in the right direction.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: You go get Bisht, you go get Simeon, and it
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: just seems like they're always just kind of like going
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: on these streaks. Versus the Phillies would be the one
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: I would bet on. The one thing that you mentioned,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Todd that worries me is there're already so much space
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: between the top there. Well, the Nationals and the Marlins
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: are in the middle of them, and they're playing okay.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: So it's not like the Rockies where the Padres and
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers are going to beat up on them and
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: that's going to be ten wins throughout the year. I
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: think the Marlins and the Nationals are going to play
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: those guys tight and play them well so that those
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: aren't just like W's that can check off the calendar
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: saying we're going to catch up to the Braves here.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: You know, they got to, like you said, they got
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: to go on a streak and beat good teams and
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: get back to playing good Phillies, good Mets baseball. They're
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: going to catch up to the Atlanta.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: With Philly, it's not even like they're dealing with so
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: many injuries to their position player group. I know Duran's
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: out right now of the ninth inning. Real Muto just
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: went down the other day, although it sounds like it'll
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: just be the minimum stay for him, and then Wheeler's
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: working his way back.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Not much else.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: There's a few teams you look at where you go Houston,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: tons of injuries. You're missing half the rotation if you
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: want to try and make an excuse when you're being
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: a prognosticator. Okay, With Philly, I mean you look the lineup.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Most of the guys are going to see there the
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: entire year. It's just not doing much. And the rookie
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: Rayce jumps into the cleanup spot after one game.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: In his big league career. Right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: They tried to mix it up the other day they
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: put Schwarburn left fields at Wrigley, you know, not as
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: much field to deal with. But that didn't work for
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: them either. So the lineup is kind of stale right now.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think, you know, ultimately I'm going back
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: and forth a little bit. But with Philly, I think,
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: you know, the issue is, I said this before, they're
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: playing against teams that added. They had so many additions,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: these teams, three or four guys that have either been
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: there before or that can pitch. Pitching has been tremendous
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: from all these teams. And guess what when these teams
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: like the Cubs, who are you know, good team. You know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: you play the Pirates, you play these teams where all
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: a laxa da, the Nationals, the Marlins, they are coming
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: to play you know, strips at best. These teams have
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: acquisitions that can play the game of baseball. Now you
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: look on the flip side of the Mets. So the
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: other day I'm watching a little bit before the game.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: They've got guys playing positions that they've never played before.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: We're just stick this guy here. Well, again, what happened
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: to is trying to sign back Pete Alonzo. Why are
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: you trading Brandon Demo? Jeff McNeil, He's still it can
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: be a two seventy five, three hundred hitter. They got
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: guys Edwin Diaz, you know you didn't find a way
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: to get him. They blamed it all on these guys
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: for not getting them back to the promised land. Oh
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: it's stale. It's the same all. It's gonna be the
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: same thing. They're really good.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Players and they are missing them tremendously right now.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've talked a lot about them this week, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: they did pick up back to back wins.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty yesterday, but.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I was after my little league game. We go, we
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: go to a new restaurant down the street. Tommy's yeah,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: and Pac tause we got you know, basketball, we got baseball,
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: we got the draft, and my son's watch. He's like, yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: we'll get this out. Boom, grand slam and you hear
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: like a sigh. And now I'm like, I didn't know
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: there was this many Mets fans in this bar right now.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: It was I was kind of laughing a little bit.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: At the same time. Somebody threw his napkin in the air.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like really, yeah, I'm like, there they go.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: My son's like, what are we going to do with showed.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: You played for both Yankee fan Son the offense showed
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: up for them though, at least in.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: THEYD one game, you know, putting up sh run that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: was nice at the end.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's the guy I'd probably be least
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: concerned about. He's a hits machine as long as he's helping.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Bobachett's been one of the most consistent players.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: And people like, oh he had a slow start that
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: was it was like seven eight games, Yeah, relax, he's
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: he's about.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Over two forty now. He's good. He'll get there.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: I've seen that one firsthand a couple of years in Toronto.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: What he can do is like if he's not slugging
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: or maybe doing as much damage as he wants, he's
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: so good back to ball, he'll just start peppering singles
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: through that four hole and that average will just creep
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: right up. He's he's yeah, I as far as anyone
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: that I'm worried about hitting, Bobachet is not on that list, right.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's prime years too. I mean, this is what's
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: bout right now, twenty eight years old, Like we never
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: know exactly, or sometimes we don't know exactly if there's
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: any other kind of issues, you know, I know he
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: had some injuries last year, but as long as he's
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: feeling good, yeah, strip, I would not be concerned about
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: that one. And that was a guy that the Phillies
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: wanted to and I thought that would have made things
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: interesting if they picked him up, just to you know,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: add a little spice to the lineup, a little more consistency,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: guys that can get on base, put knocks together and
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: not be so reliant on Schwarber, Harper and Turner when
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: he's feeling good.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Yep, exactly. I'm sure he had plenty of suitors. Man.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I bet he was fielding calls left and right, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: obviously got the money he got to go in there
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: and hit, so you know, you see it right there
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: on your screen. Not having a great last ten games,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: but he's he has been streaky over his career, and
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: he's one of those guys when he's hot, you almost
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: pitch around him and he still might hit the ball
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: in the other batter's box for a single over the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: second basement. I mean he's just he's got that good
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: bat to ball skills. So yeah, I'll sit here all
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: day and harp on how good of a hitter. I think,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: bobashet is.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: That you either think have looked ridiculous to start the
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: year or on the other side, like I mentioned, Garrett
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Crochet not off to a great start, but I mean
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: maybe like a mile an hour down, but otherwise, like
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: the stuff looks pretty similar to what it did in
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: the past.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Crochet is the low hanging fruit there as far
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: as I think being a little bit worried, and I
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: think it comes down to execution. I feel like when
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you go look at his outings, it's just a lot
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: of stuff over the heart of the plate, and I
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: think a few miles an hour down is a big deal.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: But you know, after you see his funk a few times,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: you know these are in division games. If you're going
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: to the Yankees where they've seen him a few times
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: and they know what to expect, and if you're missing
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: over the heart of the plate, I don't care if
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: your Paul Skins thrown from fifty two feet. He's a
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: big league hitters and they're eventually going to figure out
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: what you're doing and catch up to it a little bit,
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: and I think that's what you're seeing from Crochet. So
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: I think the stuff is fine, like you mentioned, and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: it's going to get out, but he's got to start
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: getting back on the corners a little bit.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Hey, did you guys see Haascar Brassobond from the Mets
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: being told yesterday that if it stays tied, he's going
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: to pitch the ninth and then if the Memes took
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: the lead, they'd go with Devin Williams. But he forgot
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: and then went out in the mounts, saw the lights
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: gone and said, uh, oh, oh.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Boy, that's awesome.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah that I couldn't, like I said, I was at
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: the bars so we couldn't tell. I just saw Devin
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: Williams look dejected him like, oh no, they told me
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: he was coming out and he wasn't. And then to
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: find out this, uh hey, we're all human, yeah, we're
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: all human. Mistakes happened. He got the out, so he
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: got the one out and they said, I would have.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Left him in.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: You let him let him meet a little more another
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: guy until he didn't get it out.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But ultimately Devin Williams came in right Yeah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know who I'd rather be lease in that situation.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Devin Williams, who's coming out all fired up, or I
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: guess you'd rather be as a bomb because at least
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: he thinks he's in the game. But at some point,
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: like they tell you, oh, you're not supposed to be
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: in the game, you like trigger this thing like Okay,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: my night's over and like, actually no, you got to
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: get another out. That's a that's kind of a lose
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: lose for both those guys.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doesn't it like what the rules are? If you
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: cross the white.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Line, that's the problem. Then he's got to pitch.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: So he so Bruce Bark crossed the white line. Yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: he's like, it's like in Field of Dreams, you're like, Oh.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Support for today's episode comes from Square, and they've got

  Speaker 2: Oh it's on.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: This was a story that dominated the headlines at a
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: time when baseball usually doesn't. It was during spring training
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: when Pete Crow Armstrong told Chicago Magazine in an interview
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: that Dodger fans can be disengaged, photo obsessed, and not
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: true baseball fans compared to Chicago fans. PCA is a
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: die hard Cubs fan who grew up in California, but
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: he is now with the Cubs, of course, and signed
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: up for a long period of time. He said, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: love Chicago more and more than people are great. They
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: give a bleep. They aren't just baseball fans to go
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: to the game like Dodger fans to take pictures and whatever.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: They're paying attention. They care.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: We'll get to a little clip of him later on
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: FT further adding fuel to the fire. We're bringing it
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: up right now, Strip because PCA is about to be
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: warmly welcomed by many phones and many loud voices at
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium who are pinpointing parts of the outfield to
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: spend some time this weekend so they can say hello
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: to him. What were your thoughts on the comments and
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: how do you think he will be received.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I've seen some people received similarly as what he's about
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: to get. Let's say some twenty seventeen astros coming back
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: to LA for some warm welcomes, you know, get. I
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: think I kind of get what he's trying to say there.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I think it's just wrong for anyone that has tried
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to go to a game at Dodger Stadium. If you
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: just park and walk into that place, you're a good
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: baseball fan. That place is Mayhem. So for the guys
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: that you know, the fans that go to I don't know,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: season ticket holders that deal with that eighty times a year,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: those are some diehard baseball fans. And I'm sorry, it's
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: it's Los Angeles. That's the culture there. Sorry, I'm going
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: to take a picture of the best player on the planet,
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Shoe Atani, or if Leonardo DiCaprio is sitting in the
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: section ahead of me, I'm going to go try and
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: get a selfie. I mean, that's that's the culture you're
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: getting out there. That's part of what makes it. You know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: we're going to get a list later some of the
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: best places voted by big leaders to play.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: They choose the.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles Dodgers because it's fun, it's different, the weather's
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: beautiful every day, and the fans give a damn. So
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: I think PCA is a little off on that take question.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Do you think.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Dodger fans would back let's just pick someone fun? In
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: the media a lot, Mookie bets if he said the
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: same thing about Cubs fans, like, hey, I see that
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: that cup snake or what do they call it beer snake,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: you know when they beer snake when they stack the
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: cups in the outfield and they're not paying attention and
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: all that. That's my only problem with the fan perspective
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: is you can only get after him so much, Like, yes,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: he can be your villain and all that, but don't
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: take it too personal. Like he's just saying, oh, I
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: think our fans are better than your fans, and you
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: would want the player on your team to say the
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: same thing, right.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, agreed. Yeah, I'm certainly not here telling any Dodger
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: fans across any lines out there, keeping in good fun.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: You know, let PCA hear it a little bit if
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: you want to. But it's, at the end of the day,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: just a baseball player sharing his take. So yeah, if
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Mooki did the same, Dodger fans would have his back
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: and Cubs fans would get up and write in the
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: same way Dodger fans are. So that's that's part of it,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: you know, and and and villains are good for the game.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's all in good fun. It's fun to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: have someone to root for and to root against at times.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: And I think the Dodger fans do that as good
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: as anyone.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and he's from La so he's got some clout.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: It's like me being from Jersey and saying some typical
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: things about Jersey people, like you're allowed Yeah, yeah, I guess,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: I guess he's allowed to. But the same time, you
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: got to remember, like they know you're from there, understandably,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: but they don't know you from a hole in the
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: wall until you got to the Chicago Cubs. For them,
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: if you're not a baseball fan, you go to the games.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: Now he is, he's gonna be the villain. They're they're
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: gonna be hooting and hollering at him. And Scotty, I
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: know you like this stuff, this stuff because it does.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Mean the Dodgers are off to a good start.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: The Cubs have won a bunch of what is it,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: nine in a row, So this adds another storyline to
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: the fire.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And it's not just me.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Fans love this stuff because you know, you go to
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: a game, the entire outfield's gonna be let's go, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: then everyone learns the story, even if they didn't know it,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: and then it just becomes.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: A thing and it kind of kick starts the Dodgers
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: again to go on another run, Like, honestly, this is
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: little things like this that can make a team better,
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: that can bring them united. And you know, they played
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: okay against the Giants. Giants did a little bit better,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: they dropped the series.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Knew what he was doing, right, I mean, he knows
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: what you're getting into when you say something like that.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I did it on the flip side once and it
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: just absolutely crushed me. We were we had just finished
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a series. I was a blue Jay. We had finished
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: a series in Pittsburgh. We were going to Baltimore. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: was getting interviewed and it was a big like division
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: you know, towards the end of the year, winner might
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: get a wild card spot, divisions and play kind of thing.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: And I said something like, we're the better team. We're
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: going to go in there and take care of business.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: And one of my buddies from the Orioles showed me
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: that I got printed out and put all through their
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: locker room and like Ros Stripling's the villain for the weekend.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, I was just like saying the right
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: thing in the media, you know. So that's that was
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: when like I didn't want that versus PCA he's kind
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: of like choosing to take the smoke right there, So
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: you got to respect that if a villain's choosing to
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: be the villain.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he likes it, and he knows where he's going
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: to be for a long period of time. The extension
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: hadn't been done yet when we spoke to him in
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: spring training, but talks had been underway for a while.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: So let's get to that answer to the original viral
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: comment from PCA on FT about a month ago.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: And I didn't get a chance to really.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: Like like back that statement up with the fact that
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: that has nothing to do with Doc, that has nothing
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: to do with Showy any of the players over there.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: I love Mookie Betts. I look up to him like
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: Crazy Freddy's only ever been great to me. If anything,
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: those are the guys that have given these fans a
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: reason to be fans. And you know, I grew up
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: going to Dodgers games when they weren't always good, when
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: they had like many would pop up, but it's like
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: they go in phases, and I remember, like, you know,
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: all fans fighting stuff like putting the Giants fan in
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: the komba like that stuck with me as a kid,
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: like just little things, you know, and sitting in the stands,
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: just nasty stuff goes on. I didn't always experience that
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: at other ballparks. But like I said, that has nothing
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: to do with who's actually on the field for them.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: I love playing against them and I love I just
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: love what they're doing right now because they're they're creating
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: a dynasty.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: But I want to take them down too.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And and again that was like a round two.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't even think it was bad.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: I just think the more he's speaking, the more it's
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: getting worse in my right, you know what I mean.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: He's trying to make it sound better, like not to
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: make it a bad comment what he said, and then he.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Brings up something else, and then I know.
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: I was there when they weren't good, and I'm like,
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: but you know, just a young kid at heart, just
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: talking out loud, and you know, hopefully he has a
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: good series. That's the way you back it up, go
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: out there and play the game the right way.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: He did say it with his chest because when we
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: asked him about it, he's like, I wanted to clear
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: something up. Dodger's really good doc players, et cetera, really
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: good I just don't love the fan environment. I mean
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: he did kind of double out on it with that statement.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was saying, when I get on first base
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: or if bench is clear or something, I don't want
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: anyone coming after me. I want to keep it cool
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: within my peers. But the fans, you guys, I said
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: what I said, and I'm backing it up. You guys
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: have it on me if you want.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: How did the players take this strip? They all know
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: about the comments here. Did the players even care? Like
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: does it get brought up heading into this series? Of
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: course they're going to know even if they forgot about
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: it from a month ago, since you're going to hear
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: it from the crowd the entire game, But like, do
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: players care it all? On a regular season game in
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: late April that PCA said something, do they go like, oh,
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: let's you know, let's put a little extra and not
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: hit them. But I'm saying, like, let's try and put
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: an O for four on them and let's blast the
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Cubs to show the fans.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Or is it just like, hey, we're going out to play.
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: I think it depends a little bit on the situation, right,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: This was not an attack on players. In fact, he
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: even just went out of his way to be pro
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: player on the Dodgers, So there's going to be I
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: would say zero ill Will whatsoever. What the players are
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: going to be excited about is like the guys not
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: playing or when they're hitting just out there listening to
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: the fans chirt PCA, you know, for twenty seven straight inning.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: So I think they'll talk about that and just be like, man,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: how out of hand is this really going to get?
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: But as far as like any player versus player, ill
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Will versus PCA, I would say that's a zero.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: People, life is expensive, so you should start looking at
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: things that are unnecessarily expensive, like your phone bill, and say,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: is there a better option?
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: Min Mobile is a better option than if you have
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: other companies, especially when you have kids like me and
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: you have everybody and their brother on your family plan.
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: Min Mobile give you a cheaper option with the same coverage.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: Yes, and some wireless bills are crazy with the bogus
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: fees and the free perks. They are not free perks.
• 28:50

• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: And then you know, beef for the Dodgers coming into
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: this series is not with the Cubs, but they just
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: finished up that series that Todd Father was talking about
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: with the Giants and dropped two out of three to
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: San Francisco.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: What did you think of Logan Web and Dalton Rushing
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: I know we just talked about it earlier for a
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: minute with Pitching Ninja, but strip your take on how
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: that all goes down? Does Logan Web take that upon
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: himself to plunk a hitter like that? And you know
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: it's funny the comment from Rushing about Jung Hu Lee
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: I'll leave out the wording, but went a little viral,
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: and I don't know, that's kind of a production of
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: the Internet these days. I don't even know if most
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: players even heard it during the game.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this reminded me of a really famous Nate Bargatzi
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: joke where he's like trying to teach his kid math
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: and he's like, this new math and I don't know
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: how you do it. And then you get in there
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, that's old math right there in
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: the middle, and you're like, that's what this was. This
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: was old baseball mixed into twenty twenty six baseball, where
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: we used to be able to handle things ourselves out
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: on the field, but now you got to go in
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: and talk to the media after and Logan Web's gotta
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: act like he lives under a rock with a flip
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: phone and hasn't seen social media in four days, and
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Rushing probably does the right thing as a young guy
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and takes the high road, and Doc kind of has
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: his back, And that's the social media internet world that
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: we live in. But at the end of the day,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: that's a situation for one hundred years that got dealt
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: with on the baseball field, and then you moved on
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: between division rivals. So it's kind of like both those
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: things happening at the same time. And that's just where
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: we are in twenty twenty six Major League Baseball.
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: We have Logan Webb's comment after the game since Doc
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Roberts was like, oh, hell yeah. I mean, Logan web
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: clearly hit Dalton rushing on purpose. Rushing was more like, oh,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I like getting on base.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: It was if it was intentional, I'll take it. I'll
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: take what I deserve. I mean, he's a young pup
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: still in the league.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: He hasn't gotten a lot of put yet, and he's
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: off to a blazing start when he does play. But
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: here's Webb, the veteran who knows where he puts the baseball.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: What would you.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: Say about getting hitting Russian rushing?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: He was on video.
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: It looked like he was saying kind of something disparaging
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: when Joe was.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Heard, where are you trying to go? Just best on say?
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I mean, he did not have the world's best poker face.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: That's like if we're playing and he's like, I don't
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: have anything. I don't have a royal flush.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was that. That was hard to watch.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: You couldn't old.
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: No, no, that was it. I mean, listen, fastball inside
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: boom missed his pitch. But yeah, you gotta believe he did.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: He said everything right, just with a little smirk on
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: his face. So yeah, understandably, he's an older guy.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: He's been around the block, so he's not missing a
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: beat in my opinion.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was choosing to keep a little money in
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: his pocket.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: You come out and say I went right at him,
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: You get a nice little letter from the commissioner the
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: next day. So that was just choosing to avoid avoid
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: that situation of having to pay any kind of fine. Say, yeah,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: that was a two seamer that didn't come on back,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: you know. But yeah, that's like I said, that's just
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: the world we live in. That we got to put
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: him in front of a camera and he has to
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: play coy like that.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: It's not like the lee can send him a letter
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: and say, hey, we didn't like your poker face or
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: you were smiling when you said that. Right, It's got
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: to be the words that come out, and the words
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: that came out, you just have to read them like
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: you know, verbatim.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, he didn't know.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: He claims he didn't know, and that's all you can do. Hey,
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: did you see this quote from Alex Korra. Honestly, reading
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: some of the quotes from players, we're taking losing very hard,
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: which is not usual, right, But it's a different group,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: so we have to make sure you stay the course,
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: understand where you're at in the season. Is it a
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: bad sorry, yes it is, we know that, but we've
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: got plenty of time to get back to five hundred,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: to make our move and get to where we want
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: to get.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: He's completely on the money, and I like.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: The way that he described it because this has this
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: team has some young players that are being asked to
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: step up in a big way, like Roman Anthony and
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Marcela Maya, and they haven't experienced this before.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: They barely experienced the majors.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, this is well said. This is a sign of
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: a veteran coach, understand And it is early, but you know,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: eventually you have to get going. And then you look
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: at this right now, seven games back last place. Yeah,
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: it's ugly, but it's doable still, and they do have
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: a team to do it. It seems like when they
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: go bad though, they always find a way to lose
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: these games that are close, and you know it's just
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: part of their mo I still think they're going to
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: have an opportunity to get a wild card at the
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: end of the day and maybe make the playoffs. But yes,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: they got to get going. They have the team to
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: do it. They got the names, I mean, the Journdorans
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: of the world. I mean they got to kickstarter here
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: a little bit and get going and you know, see
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: where your cards lay. But it's a juggernaut, man. This
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: al lease is the best in my opinion. It's a
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: juggernaut to see the teams you play, and it doesn't
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: stop each day.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: You got to come and bring them.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: If your home run bet comes up short, you get
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: an MLB No Sweat home run token that'll help you out.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: You can activate the token when you bet on any
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: player to hit a home run in any MLB game.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: If that player doesn't do it, doesn't hit the homer,
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: you get your stake back and bonus bets keep the
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: action in scoring position. With bet MGM gambling problem or concern,
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: there's help called one eight hundred gambling on the way
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: out here? Do we have the Lindor tweet just we
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: didn't get that. I know we talked about the Mets
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but the injury itself I'll mention as
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: we're queuing it up.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Looks pretty serious. So Sodo missed like to and change.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: I want to say, I would say.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: But they said this one's more serious for Lindora crazy
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: he Soda comes back and then Lindor goes down with
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: the cat.
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Literally no, And I think the one I think about
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: is Mike Trout when he had the CAF problem.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Like these are very serious.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: They linger. Every injury is a pain in the butt
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day. But Calves is the one.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: It's the one you go up and down with. It's
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: the first thing you feel when you're moving. Then everything
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: moves up right from your leg. I'm using my arm
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: as a reference, but yeah, this is this is something
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: where you're gonna have to really take your time. And
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: you know, Ronnie Mauricio is going to have to step
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: up at the end of the day. So we'll see
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: how he does. But short how you doing?
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: There you go?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: More more familiar spot for him, but.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: With the Colemo Anthony Como said that Ronnie was going
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: to get more.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Ronnie's coming up. Yeah, he just got called up, so yeah,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: he's going to get.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: A long run at shortstop. Right to prove himself in
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Lindor's absence. So I guess not, yeah, Bo, They'll just
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: let him keep learning third base.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I put put him in the fire. What do you
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: got to lose right now?
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: That's true, yeah, but tough loss for the Mets there too,
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: with Lindor going down. I remember Ross when Sodo got hurt.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I think he was like, oh, the next day kind
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: of feeling better, and then he sat again, and I'm like,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: no way, we just covering the game for too long.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: You see the guys with the calf injuries and they're like, oh,
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: maybe I can play, and then they start testing it
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: on the field and they're like, oh no, no, no,
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Hadead no.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just with you Todd on the on the calf stuff.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't seem to be showing his head as
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: much in baseball. But if you look across like some
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: of these basketball and NFL guys, that calf leads to
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: achilles or stuff and things that it's just not it's
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: not what you mess with. It used to be like
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: an old man injury, a calf led to achilles. Now
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: we got Jason Tatum and his prime tearing his achilles
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: in game seven of NBA playoffs. You know, it's just, uh,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: it's not one of those that's worth pressing. You got
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: to get it all the way right before you even
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: think about getting them back out there.
