• 0:28
  Speaker 2: away from one more day. So KP, it's just you
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: and I. Anything fun happened for you last night?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: No, but this is like our version of Players weekend,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: except it's you know, an early week anything exciting yesterday? Now?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: No three kids? You know how it is. No, I
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: don't get him ready to actually don't sports practice? Yeah,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I know, you know, empty nests now. No.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Actually, I had to drive to Gainsville last night and
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: put a and help my daughter move into in the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: University of Florida, and drove up and back yesterday. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: you know, I get charged with doing all the hard
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: stuff like putting in the ring camera, making sure the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Wi Fi works, so making trips back and forth to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: best buy and in all these places right, and then
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: the best part was I get this ring camera, a
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: battery power ring camera, and it didn't work. So they're like, oh,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: you need charge the battery. So my daughter charges the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: battery all night and then it still doesn't work.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, Ring, you win, you win, Ring.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else to do, so I'm gonna
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: have to re reconfigure my strategy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Does that require a trip down again today?
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Oh? No, I can't make it. Today.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I had a lot, I had a big day, had
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to go to the dentist today, I had to take
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: my car and they had to get a shot in
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: my wrist today.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: A lot of problems on the Prazinski household today, KP.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: So we know what make me happier, though, is if
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I got one of these new shirts delivered to me,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: these custom player licensed merch shirts on foul territorieshot dot com.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Check it out now to find shirts featuring your favorite players.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: That Junior Kaminara want is fire with the Tampa Bay
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: City collect City Connect jerseys going on. Make sure you
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: go there, KP. I know you're rocking the roll Ex shirt,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: but I mean, get your Kyllee Schwarber sh.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a fake roll Eck shirt. It says,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: relax my bad.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I can only see the top. I can only see
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: the top. So I was I was rolling with it.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And then also, you know, Hunter Greens out for the
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: the year and all of next year because they went
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in and founded Tommy John. So he had Tommy John,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: so you know what he can do for the next year,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: relax exactly.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That sucks.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: It sucks for Hunter Green, sucks for the Cincinnati Reds.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: It's just, uh, yeah, it sucks for them because they're
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: counting on it's lining their counting.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: It's it's a tough blow. Obviously, the game's better when
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: he's healthy. Obviously the Cincinnati Reds are a lot better
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: when he's healthy too. It's just it's a shame because
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: we've we've come so far on the medical side and
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and you know, being able to see things, but sometimes,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you know, guys try to rehab the things, they see
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: something they feel like they can come back, and then
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: it ends up tearing a little bit later and it
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: really ends up costing him pretty much most of this
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: year and then the entirety of next year. So it's
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: just kind of a it's kind of a bummer, man.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: You think if he would have initially when he went
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: down early in the year and they would have saw
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: that he needed to have a second Tommy John. You know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: maybe he misses the whole year. Maybe he's ready for
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: spring training if he had the internal brace, but missing
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: kind of two years of or Hunter Green in his
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: prime is a big.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Blow, no doubt, no doubt.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: You know, good thing the Red sign upo that long
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: term contract. You remember there was rumors of being traded.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe this is why he didn't get traded by the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds at the trade deadline. Anyways, good luck Hunter,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: get back soon and let's charge them Mount charge all right,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: charge the Mount and the Padres sweep the Brewers. The
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Brewers still have a three game lead over the Cubs.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: The Cubs are hot as fire, but this is big
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: for the Padres. The Padres have jumped now into the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: second wild card or no, excuse me, the third wildcard
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: and they're holding down or is the second or third
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: co wild Card?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Second?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Sorry, jeez, I get they switch. This is like them
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: in the Diamondbacks KP switch every day. So now the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Padres are in the second wildcard spot, ahead of the Phillies,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: ahead of the Diamondbacks, ahead of the Marlins. Is this
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the real version of the San Diego Padres that we
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: saw these last three games, of these last two weeks,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: because the two weeks three weeks before, everyone was like,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: oh the Padres stink and they were out of the Wildcard.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Now here they get hot as all get out and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: they're back into the Wildcard.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Which one is the real Padres? KP.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I think this is more of the real Padres. Obviously,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you look around the diamond you look at the names
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: on the back of the jerseys, Manny Machados, Ander Boguards,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: cronin Worth, Jackson Merrow. You know, you gotta love what
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: you've seen out of guys like Davin Sheets. This team,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: this team on paper, is really good, and I think
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone expected Manny to be hitting like
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: one eighty midway through the year. I don't think anyone
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: expected Jack Samrail to struggle the way he did. I
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: don't think anyone expected Fernando Tatis to have kind of
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: this power outage that he's had. But I think this
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: is more along the lines of what everyone in baseball
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: expected the San Diego Padres to be I don't think
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: anyone felt like the Padres or even the Diamondbacks were
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: going to win the West. But I felt like a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: lot of people felt these teams were good enough to
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: be wildcard teams. And honestly, both of those teams got
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: off to a little bit of a slow start, more
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: so the Padres, and you know, it was real. It
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: really came down to some of the pitching depth that
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: they had, and I felt like they did a great
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: job at the trade deadline going out and acquiring Robbie Ray,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: obviously a guy who's won a cy young, a guy
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: who can stabilize their rotation. I think we're getting a
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: new version of Walker Buehler. It's not the same Dodger
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Walker Bueler, but I think Walker Bueler has figured out
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: how to pitch with the stuff that he has and
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: be very effective. And you know, obviously, if you get
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to that back end of the bullpen, I don't think
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: anyone in baseball has better back into the bullpen in
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the San Diego Padres. So I think this is the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: real version of the Padres. You know, in baseball is
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: such a long season. It's not how you start, it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: really how you finish. And I know there's still some
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: time to go in the season, but if you're a
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: team like the Padres, what a great time to get
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: hot right now. Kind of roll this momentum, you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: through the end of August into September and you never know.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: You know that it's not always the best team that
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: wins the World Series, it's the team that gets the hottest,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: and the Padres certainly have the makings of a team.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: If they get hot, they can go on a magical run.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I know this is a busy time of year for
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: many of you, including AJ. When you're home, you need
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: everything to get done fast with quality.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Absolutely That's why Factor meals are perfect for me. Ready
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: in two minutes, healthy, pre made protein, all the things

• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Let's eat real. Head to Factor Meals.

  Speaker 5: fifty off at Factor meals dot Com Foul fifty off
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Factor Meals dot Com. See website for more details.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Padres jumped six teams in this
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in this winning you know, hot streak that they're on.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: That's amazing.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: That's what's amazing to me is they jump six teams.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Not usually you're like, oh, we jumped a team or two.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They jumped six.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Teams to get into this position. So if they keep
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: doing this, they're gonna be dangerous. Like you mentioned Robbie
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Ray Michael King in that in that Casey with that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: rotation that back into the bullpen. If Tatis Machado, Merrill
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Xander Bogarts has had a nice second half. If those
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: guys do what they're doing, Crona Worth, then they can
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: be dangerous I think in the postseason. But on the
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: other side, the Brewers get swept. They still have an
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: unbelievable record. Yes, the Cubs are playing great, they're still
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: behind them, but three for twenty eight with runners in
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: scoring position in this series. Jake Bauer said the offense
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: needs to be better. They had a team meeting after
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: this game, which to me is crazy. I mean, they
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: still have a great record, and what do you think
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: this team meeting was about?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: KP was Pat Murphy like.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: It's okay, guys, Like, dude, they lost three games in
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: a row. I think you know whether it was players
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: only or Pat Murphy was in there, but yeah, maybe
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: just kind of the message is probably the same lines
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: as Jake Maoers delivered to the media. Just calmed that down,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you know, like we ran into a good team in
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the Padres. You know, baseball is a very difficult sport
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: to be great every single day. And I think this
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: kind of reminds us of the conversation we had yesterday.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: You know, when you look at a series and you
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: go three for twenty eight with runners in scoring position,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the margins between wins and losses are so small in
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the major leagues. The fact that you're getting twenty guys
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: on you're just not coming up with a big hit.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You know, they go six for twenty eight in that series.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Are we talking about a three game suite for the Brewers?
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: So it would be interesting to know what the conversation
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: was like behind those closed doors. You know, if Pat
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Murphy was involved, I would imagine it's a lot about
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: just staying the course. You know, this is part of
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: the game players. Only maybe it's someone like Jake Bowers
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: who steps up and it kind of delivers that same message, like, hey,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: let's calm down. We're trying too much. We're at our
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: best when we were doing X, Y and Z, when
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: we're just going out having fun. You know, things haven't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: gone well for us recently, you know, we started to
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: press a little bit, but we're at our best we
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: play in Milwaukee Brewers Baseball when we're just going out there,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: playing the right way, playing for each other. But I
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: don't think it's a concern. I do believe that how
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: well the Cubs are playing and kind of breathing down
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: their neck, it's a little bit of a concern. But
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: both these teams are destined for the postseason. I know,
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: ultimately a team like Milwaukee or even Chicago would like
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: to win the division because that's a cool thing to accomplish,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: but also getting that potential that first round by in
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: the postseason is huge for a lot of teams.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Agreed, Agreed, But how worried you about the Brewers three
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: for twenty eight? Fine, but they're Joey ortiz Ou Cooper
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: prouts out. They had Terang having to play shortstop, Andrew
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Vaughn played third to try to find some offense. Is
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: this just a case of a bunch of injuries happening
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: all at once and when these guys come back, the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Brewers will be fine.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think you just kind of kind of weather
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the storm. I think, you know, they're being tested a
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: little bit in terms of their depth in the minor leagues,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: potentially having guys kind of fill up, and then you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you utilizing some of the versatility that they have. You know,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think in a perfect role playing Andrew Vaughn
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: at third base is something that they'd love to do
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: for a long period of time, but thankfully he has
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: enough versatility to move over there. I think Bryce Terrang,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: you know, at second base, is arguably the best second
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: basement in the game, or if not one of the
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: top second basements in the game, you move them a shortstop.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: It's just you know, when you take a guy like
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: that who's so good and play second base every day
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: and you move him to the short sup position, are
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: you going to take away from some of his offense
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: which makes him a lead at his position. But yeah,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: I think it's more about just so many guys kind
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: of getting banged up at the same time, if they're
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: able to just kind of weather this storm, and bad
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: timing for the Brewers because you know, if this happens,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: you know four or five, six weeks ago, that sizeable
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: gap that they had between them and the Cubs would
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: make them feel a little bit more like they can
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: weather this storm. But I do feel like there's a
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: little bit of sense of urgency knowing how that gap
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: has closed between them and the Cubs and how well
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: the Cubs are playing.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. And guess who they get to play next?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: The Brewers they get They get four in the Dodgers,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: four against the Dodgers in LA. So you know, the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: schedule only gets easier starting tonight. The Brewers get to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: play the Dodgers, so at least they.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Have that going for him.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Uh, we missed Skiens School or sorry Scoobale Misselerowski. I
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: think by a day the Brewers need to play well.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers haven't been playing well that great either, so
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: it's kind of like, all right, who's playing better of
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the worst. I guess I don't know if that's even
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: though they're both in first place and they're both playing
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: really well. Here, let's see the pitching matchup tonight is uh,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Drohan Versuszaki, and then it gets good after that. I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: not knocking those guys. Then you get gas or Yamamoto.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Then you get Scooble, Mizerowski, Robleski. That'll be the Polish
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: national starting team on the WBC in twenty twenty nine.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Uh, and then.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Henderson's Scooball So you know, Burers fans can eat, can
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: be mad at Kratz and I if Scooble out pitches
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Logan Henderson, because that is a guy who the Brewers
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: did not allegedly want to give up to get to Zerk'scubel.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: We are so close to misv School. How good would that?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: E Ben? If it was misvers School, Gosh, it would
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: have been awesome.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Right, yeah, I mean it would have been so good
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: for the game. You know, watching those two guys face
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: off against each other would have been musty TV. But
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: it's crazy how baseball works like that. We just talked about,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: you know, the Brewers having to go through this really
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: tough stretch of guys being out, and then sure enough
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: their schedule lines up with the Dodgers, and then you
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: talked about a matchup between trek'scubel and the potential piece
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: that they were not willing to give up. It's just
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: like baseball just throws you these little carrots every once
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: in a while for you to sit back and enjoy
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: and enjoy the game.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Trent Grosham, nice night last night.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Two homers, four URBI is a double as guess what
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: imagine this? The Mariners lost again, KP. They are on
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: struggle city right now. They have lost five six game
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: five or five five six games in a row now
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: and got swept by Tampa. Now they're they've lost the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: first two here in Yankee Stadium, so there's five in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a row. So they've lost their last five at least.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But can they figure this out? Can the Mariners right
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: this ship right now? We said before going into this series,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: if they get swept by the Yankees.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: It could be the end. Do you think it's the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: end if they lose again today?
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: I don't think it gets any easier for him. Max
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: Reid sitting on the mountain tonight, I know missed some time,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: but sometimes we miss time. You're a little bit more fresh,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: and he's got enough starts under his belt since he's
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: come back from the I l that he's Max reed
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: of old. I mean, he's sitting at a two eight eight.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: E or A.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: It's definitely an uphill battle. It's an uphill stream. I'm
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: gonna use kind of like a Seattle Northeast reference. It's
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: a it's an uphill stream for a battle for them
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: right now. And I just don't think they have enough
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: in the tank to be able to kind of withstand,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: you know, losing again today. But just what they've done recently,
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I just think it's it is going to go down
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: as one of those teams with what you saw out
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: of them last year, how good that pitching was, the
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: starting rotation, how elite the bullpen was. You know, Cal Rawley,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the unbelievable season. You know, we made argument on this
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: show that he should have been the MVP last year.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: To come back a year later and have such an
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: awful season, It's just confusing.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Alex Bregman had a night last night KP three hits,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: three homers, seven RBIs, two walks, first career three home
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: run game. I never hit three home runs in a game,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: did you?
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: No? No? No? And I'm actually surprised that Alex Bregman
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: hasn't done it either, considering he's spent most of his
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: time in Houston and we know he loves to pull
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the ball in the air. But what a great time
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: for him to get hot for this team. I think
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: obviously we talked a little bit about him yesterday in
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the Cubs. But you go out and get a guy
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: like Alex Bregman, what he does to your organization, a
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: guy who's won everywhere he's been he ran, is that
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: floor for everyone else. And he didn't get off to
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: a great start with this time in Chicago, but he's
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: heating up right now. And when he gets hot, he
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: can he can carry an offense.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, how hot is he?
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Bob Nightingale just tweeted last twenty six games July eleven, three,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: twenty four, three ninety three, six fifty seven that equals
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: one thousand and fifty one ohps, nine homers, twenty seven runs,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: twenty six RBIs, eighteen extra basits, seventy one total bases,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: twenty seven runs, twenty six RBIs twenty five runs to
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: save forty two statcast fielding run. But I don't know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I'm the last two up.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Bob didn't miss a single stat
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: on there.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I showers. Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: No, I feel like after you kind of give the
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: the traditional like stat line of average and on base
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: and slugging, you could do the math and then maybe
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: some home run, some extra base hits. But man, he
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: went down the entire Baseball Reference Page.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Science experiment for the one minute we had to tell
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: you about why we love Quint's electrolytes, including watermelon salt,
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: raspberry salt.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: And I'm holding a citrus salt.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Just opened it and pour some powder into my water,
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: shake it up, and AJ, why do you love it?
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: I love Quints because after a long night out, a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: long day at the gym, a long walk in this
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Florida humidity, it tastes great and it gives me all
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: the electrolytes I need. Why sugar free Stevy a free
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: keto approve and taste sweet because of that delicious fermented rice.
• 17:29

  Speaker 2: All right, time for better than box scores. And since
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: producer lated, he told me to ask you this kid,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: because she's now telling us what to say on here,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: even though I thought it was players.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Only Scott's on here, so she can't tell us what
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Are the Blue Jays better after the trade deadline? Because
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: we talked about this. They had an interesting trade deadline.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: They sold some guys, but they also bought back guys
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: with control. So are the Blue Jays better because they're
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: what a game and a half out of a wild
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: card right now?
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean look at it, so if you take
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the emotional component out and everything that Kevin Godsmas meant
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to this organization, when you just go pitcher for pitcher,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: yes they got better. You know, and obviously var shows
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: an incredible defensive center fielder. He wasn't doing much offensively
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: this year. He had, you know, really a poor showing
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: offensively compared to what he had shown when healthy last year.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: And then you kind of just insert Bateman into that
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: role kind of young, energetic guy. But yeah, I do
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: think they got better, you know, at the trade deadline.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: And you know, obviously Jeff Hoffmin was a big piece
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: of that bullpen. You know, he removed from the closure role,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: but he was actually throwing the ball really well in
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: kind of that seventh eighth inning role. But for a
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: guy like him, unfortunately he's always gonna be remembered in
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: a Blue Jay's uniform for one pitch in the Wolk Series,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: no matter how much he pitched well this year out
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: of that bullpen, it was probably best to kind of
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: move on from that situation. But I do believe that
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: they are better. You know, obviously the Trey Is Savage
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: injury hurts a lot, but you talk about one two
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: punch with Jose Soriano and Dylan See's at the top
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: of your rotation. But yeah, I think more than anything,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I think clarity for that team going into that trade
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: deadlines allowed them to kind of play free. And I
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: also do think that the fact kind of probably what
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: the Seattle Mariners were kind of going through early in
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the year, kind of being a team that you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: has underperformed of recent history, but then they go deep
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: into the postseason. Last year, they're a team that had
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: a target on their back, much like the Toronto Blue
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Jays had to target on their back early in the year.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I don't think that team was fully comfortable in that role.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Now that they've kind of played, you know, mediocre during
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: this year, they're kind of a forgotten team. They're kind
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: of back in that underdog role. You know, start of
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: last week, they were like four or five games out
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: of a wildcard spot. Once they got that clarity of
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: the trade deadline, I think they've just been able to
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: go out and play baseball, kind of embrace that underdog role.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Everyone's counting us out. And they've been actually playing some
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: really good baseball. And you know, I get a chance
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: to talk directly to Blue Jay fans on Bluebird Territory,
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: and that was kind of my message was, this is
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: not the same team from last year. They're not this
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: team that is going to score a lot of runs
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: every single game. They're not going to you know, Vladdie's
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: not going to put the team on his back right now.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: But the one thing you can kind of sink your
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: teeth in is what they did post deadline. They had
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: a brutal schedule. They played some really good teams. They
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: played Houston, they played Chicago on a makeup game, then
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: they went into Philadelphia, they played four extra inning games.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: They were in every one of those games, and they
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: came out and they showed the grit, they showed the heart.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: And I think it's this team that, despite everything they
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: did last year, I think it's a team blue Jay
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: fans can get behind and be like, you know what,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: they do have a lot of heart, they do have
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of fight, They do have a lot of grit.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: And when you look at the standings today, them sitting
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: one and a half games back, it's kind of a
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: miracle for everything that they've gone through as a team
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: this year. They have guys that missed early in the year,
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: like Alejandro Kirk is starting to kind of come into form.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Vladdie had you know, three days off during that road trip.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: He's starting to come back and form. This team is
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: potentially a little sleeping giant kind of waiting to break out.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: And you know what they've done to the Red Sox
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: these last three games, it's kind of a little bit
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: of a barometer for them too, to show that they
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: are capable team of going to the postseason.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Soriano pitched awesome last night. Obviously, they beat
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox third time in a row, so they're
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: playing really well.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love this trade for next year. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: love you Savage.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Gosh, if you could just get your Savage to be
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: healthy right for the whole year, because he's really struggled
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: since the start. Dylan Cees is a stud. They found it.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: They found a closer, Louis Varlin. Uh but gosh, I
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: have to ask this and always goes back to this,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: what the heck's wrong with Vladdie?
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: He's got no pop? Where does pop go? KP can't
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: hit Almurn, dude, Toronto.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I wish look at it if I if I had
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: that answer, I probably wouldn't be on this show with you.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: I'd probably be sitting in the dugout in Toronto getting
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: a ton of money paid if I had to fix
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: for him. And I don't know, I I and to me,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: it comes back to a couple of things, and these
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: are these are strictly speculation. You know, even though I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: there and I covered the team for sports Now, I'm
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: not in the dugout. I'm not a player. I don't
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: get inside information. This is strictly speculation. He's either physically
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: not right or there's been something potentially off the field,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: family related, you know, something like that that's distracting him.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Because he's just too talented of a hitter. And AJ
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: you played in this game a long long time. There's
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: just certain players that are just more talented than me
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: and you and the guys that you sit within the clubhouse.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: And Vladi is one of those guys. And to me,
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: it is just unexplainable that he's, you know, a six
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: ninety six eighty ops guy. He's got seven home runs
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: on the season. He hasn't hit a home run at
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: home at some point, even you know, utility slap the
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: ball around the infield type of guy is going to
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: run into a home or at home if given at
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: bats every single day. To me, it is just one
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: of those things that maybe when the season's over, maybe
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: we find out either something physically was wrong or like
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: I said, maybe there's something kind of distracting him from
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: being the version of himself that we all know he
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: can be. But it's hard because when you watch him
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: play every day like I do, he still goes out
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: there and plays with this joy and this passion, and
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: if there is something going on, he's not showing it.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: And we talk a lot about on Bluebird, you know,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: despite how poorly offensively, especially from the power standpoint he's been,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: he posts every day. He plays great defense. He's a
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: great teammate. But man, I wish I had the answer,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: because I think that answer is probably worth a lot
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: of money. If you had the answer for a seven
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollar guy, I'm sure there's a nice little
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: reward for that.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, nobody knows. If they knew, they'd
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: have fixed it. All right.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Well, then let's ask this. I know you're on Bluebird territory.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: The schedule's favorable in September, right, they have a little
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: lighter schedule than some Okamoto has been pretty good for him,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: you know, some other guys have stepped up for him.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Has been unbelievable behind the plate. If you haven't seen him,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: catch tune into a Blue Jays game. He's fun to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: watch behind the plate. I'm not asking KP straight up.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Do they get into the postseason? Do they figure out
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: a way to sneak into the postseason?
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Look at this was the big debate starting kind of
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: this after they got out of that kind of gauntlet
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: shreat with Houston, that makeup day in Chicago Philly, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: they actually had a very successful road trip, and then
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: you point it to them coming back home facing a
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: Boston Red Sox team that really just hasn't lost, then
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the New York Yankees. Then you go to the House
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: of Whoores in Tampa with another team that never loses.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Then you face the Yankees again, and I think we
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: were gonna have a lot of clarity of where this
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: team was going to be at. But just after three days,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: they've climbed three spots. You know, from being or two
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: spots from being four, three spots, from being four and
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: a half out of a wildcard spot to now a
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: game and a half out of a wildcard spot. They've
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: gone up against the Boston Red Sox, a team that
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: never loses, and they're on the verge of potentially sweeping
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: them tonight. So you know, I think we'll know a
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: lot more after they kind of go through this gauntlet
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: of the American League East teams. But man, they got
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: as good as shot as anyone else. You know, obviously
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: what they did last year, there's got to have a
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: there's a good feeling in that clubhouse that and you
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: know what it is like AJ once you get to
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: the postseason, that's something you chase the rest of your life.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: So I think there's a lot of hunger in these
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: guys to get back to prove that it wasn't a fluke.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: But obviously, you know, as a competitor, that's what we
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: play for. We play for an opportunity to play in October.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: And I think despite everything that's happened this year on
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: the injury front, underperforming guys, Vladdie having an awful year.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: If you would ask anyone at the beginning of spring
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: training age. I'm asking you this too. If someone came
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: in and said, hey, we're gonna insert you on August thirteenth,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: and you're one and a half games out of a
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: wildcard spot and you could start the season right there,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: would you take that? Of course, the answer probably yes.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: As long as you're playing games.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what your record is, as long as you,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: like they said in Dumb and Dumber, so you're saying,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: there's a chance, even if it's one in a million, right,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: and I think you would definitely take that. Now, I'd
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: rather have I'd rather be the Yankees or the Red Sox,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: where you have a little bit of cushion. But hey,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: at least you're playing for some There's nothing worse than
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: being into September almost and not having anything to play for.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: The Angels, the Rockies, you know, you know the teams
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: right that aren't playing for anything. So absolutely all right,
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: let's get to Luis Castillo the rock last night for
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: the White Sox real quick, KP. This was a deal
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: that people scrutinized because of the money going back and forth,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: but here he is one hit ten punchies, best start
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: of the season. Home debut with the White Sox. Will
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: he help the White Sox not only this year in
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the postseason the next year.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you this AJ. Did they have a
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: better option before they got him?
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't the fact that they didn't.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they had a better option, but
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: if you looked at his numbers this year, they weren't good,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: and it was the price tag, right, it's twenty three
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: million dollars next year. I know they gave up Sir
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Anthony Demingez, but I think the Whites took on all
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: the money and I think they sent the Mariners some money.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: So it wasn't the fact about the option. It was
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: more about the fact that, man, that's a lot of
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: money to take on for a guy who had over
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: a five era into August. So I thought the move
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: was good because it gives you a guy that's been
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: through this battles before when a lot of the White
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Sox haven't. But if he pitches like this, hell yeah,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: they didn't have a better option.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: And then obviously experience, battle tested, you know, those are
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: big things. And then you know, we've spent a little
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: bit time talking about you know, he was in this
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: kind of weird, kind of piggyback role. Wasn't starting. Was
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: kind of relieving, you know, a little bit of uncertainty.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: And then sometimes when you've spent a lot of time
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: in an organization and certain things pop up like that,
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: a new beginning, a fresh start, you know, a new
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: city could do guys wonders. And I think also, you know,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: there's no denying you know, he didn't have good numbers
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: when he got treated, and he owed a lot of money.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: But I think when you have that utimate belief in
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: an organization that believes in you, you know, you want
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: to prove them right. And him coming out and pitching
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: the way he did yesterday, is this what we're gonna
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: expect to see out of Luis Castill every single time
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: he takes the mount? Probably not, but this is showing
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the entire baseball world he's still capable of doing these things.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: True, true, all right, one more before we get to
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: bridge Roli. Paul Skins was spotted on the beach recently
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: in Miami. They're playing the Marlins right now, and some
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: paparazzi or some fan took a picture of Paul Skeins
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: with a shirt off walking next to his girlfriend Livy Dunn.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: He's taken a lot of heat online KP for being,
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: you know, not having a six pack, not being jack.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: But how many pictures did you play with that did
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: not have the best bodies? They were usually the best pictures, Honestly,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: the guys who were jacked and shredded and all that,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: those are always the guys that seemed to get hurt.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: It was the guys that were a little bit fatter
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: that seemed to take the ball. Mark Burley comes to mind.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: I I'm looking at I'm looking at the two Jerseys
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: I got hanging in this room over here, and I
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: got Clinton kersh I got Mark Burley up here to
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: talk about the ultimate dad bods, right, And that's the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: beauty of our sport is, especially at the picture position.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: You don't need to be this physical specimen to pitch.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: You just have to have a really good arm, you
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: have to have a good feel for what you're doing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: You got to have good mechanics. But I mean, I
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: can't really name a ton of pictures off the top
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: of my head, especially starting pictures that were just this
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Greek god looking type of person. So I don't know
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: what people are complaining about with Paul's schemes.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Well, they're just looking because he's having a down year.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: His velocity's downstairs saying, oh, look at him. I guarantee
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: if you took a shirt off last year, you probably
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: looked the same the same way. He maybe needs a
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: mix and a tan, But you do you, Paul, keep
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: doing you. And if you go out and shove next time,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: you can tell all those people out there to shove it,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: because I mean, you're pretty good. You're still pretty good,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: even though they want you to never give up a run, Paul,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: You're still pretty good. And next time, I bet you
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: when he goes to the beach in Miami, he'll have
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: one of those tank tops that you had on yesterday, KP.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: To cover up his dad body.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Hey it's not a bad idea, but maybe he's working
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: on his TN today, you know, and it Yeah, it's unfair.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I mean we talked a little bit yesterday to expectations.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: He's just set this bar that is so high for
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: himself that the world is gonna find any reason for
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: him when he doesn't reach those expectations. Now it's he's
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: out of shape. He's got a dad boughd he needs
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: to spend more time in the gym. You know he's
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: not pitching, Well, how could he be out on the
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: beach enjoying himself. You know that's that's crazy talk, all right.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: See geek seek gek KP. So here's what we're gonna
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: do today.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Yesterday we didn't get to play this game, but today
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: we get to play the game of pick a game.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: You want to go to tonight, it's got to be tonight.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: A lot of day games today, a lot of games
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: being played. The White Sox Reds game got moved early
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: because of weather. So give me the game you have
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to see tonight or you want to go see tonight
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: if you had a chance tonight.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: So three oh seven doesn't count. But if I'm may
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: go to the three oh seven game, Yeah, yeah, I'm
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: teleport I'm teleporting there. I'm going to the Blue j
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: game today because Max Scherzer has a chance to pitch.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Is three thousand professional inning today. I'm a baseball nerd,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: a baseball historian. It hasn't been done many, many times
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: in the game. So getting an opportunity to witness history,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I'd love to be in the Rogers Center for that.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: You're such a homer. You are such I mean, what's
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: that jersey behind you? What is that jersey behind you?
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just a Blue Jay jersey.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, no big deal. Yeah, so you're a homer.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: You know where i'd go. I'm going. I'm not gonna lie.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: I'm going Brewers Dodgers to the best teams in the
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: National League, two of the best teams in baseball. It's
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: a big series. The Brewers just got swept by the Padres.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: I'm calling Sea geek and I'm saying, Hey, I want
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: those seats right behind.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Home plate in Dodgers Stadium.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Dennis Gilbert sits in them, you know, Pat Sajack sits
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: in them. Mary Hart sits in them. I want one
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: of those seats. I'm gonna buy Mary's heart Mary Heart seat.
• 32:51

• 32:54
  Speaker 2: your seat today, right behind home play. Hopefully they sell
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: those on seakeek. It might be a little expensive, but
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be the game.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: I'm going too.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we might have to kick Miami Marlin guy out too,
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: because I'm oh God, the game. He's probably going he crushes.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: He probably going to be there.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: He crushes Sea Keek. I mean he's at the most random.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I'm doing a game in Kansas City and here he
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: is right here with this. Why is he always wears
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: hat sideways too? By the way, can we not? I
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: mean people say, oh, why do you wear your hat backwards?
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: But at least I don't go Marlin's man where it's
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: sideways like this?

• 33:33
  Speaker 2: wears the M and m's jacket at the White Sox games.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Name's George Jacobs. Everyone knows him. So I don't know.

• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Cardinals Cardinals wore their dark blue caps yesterday.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Right, they're back. And I remember when I was a kid, KP.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: I first saw these and we thought these were the
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: coolest hats ever because they were the traditional STL locked right,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: and then you had they made them navy blue because
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: when the car and then when I played for the Cardinals,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: they explained why they didn't want everyone to have red
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: caps on. So the Cardinals took the you know, the
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: initiative and said, hey, we're gonna wear navy blue caps.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: And I thought they were awesome, but they they went
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: away from them for a while, but now they're back.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Fans said eighty percent they wanted them back. Are you
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: a fan of the Cardinals navy blue caps?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I am, And I'm also a fan that the organization
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: listened to the fan base. You know. I'm sure the
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: players had some input in it too, But I love
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: the navy blue hats. I think it's a really cool
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: look that they're able to roll out there when they're
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: on the road. And kudos to them for listening to
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: their fan base and potentially they're players on bringing it back.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's back. Parently, it's back, So I love it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I always I always love that when I played for
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Plus, it's cool when you're a player and
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: you get more than one hat come home with instead
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: of two one hat, you come home with two hats,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: all sweat stained and dirty. By the way, they said this,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: we want to put our fans at the center of
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: everything we do, and that starts with listening, said club president.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not even going to try to say that name
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: so Cardinal fans won't be mad at me, because if
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: I don't think KP can say it either A nook. Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: We we had heard anecdotally from fans of bringing back
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: the Navy Cap on the road was a change they
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: wanted to see, so we decided to ask them directly.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: The response was overwhelmingly in favor of the Navy Cap
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: special edition today of in the Weeds, I mean in
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the corn Why because it's Field of Dreams night tonight
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: in Dyersville, Dyersville, I believe it is, Iowa. It's a
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: cool venue if you haven't been. I don't know how
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get a I don't know how you're going
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: to get there, but it's a cool venue if you
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: figure out how to get there.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: KP.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: It's a really awesome experience. I was fortunate enough to
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: go to the first Field of Dreams. It was the
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: White Sox Yankees Tim Anderson walk off home run, one
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: of the coolest things I've ever got to see. Are
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: you excited for Field of Dreams and if they get
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: it in because last I saw it was raining and
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: there was a tarp on the field.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's unfortunate that, you know, weather permitting. But I
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: love this for the game of baseball. Obviously a very
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: iconic movie, and I love when baseball decides to take
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: the game that we all love to kind of these
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: little remote areas, but also these very bigger than life venues.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: I think we've all seen the movie and would it
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: be cool to have a baseball game there? And they
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: came up with this concept, and I vividly remember watching
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: it on TV, Tim Anderson hitting that walk off home
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: run into the corn. I was fortunate enough when I
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: was playing collegiate Summer Bowl I got to drive by,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: or maybe I was in the minor leagues at the time,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: but I've actually been to that venue before. They didn't
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: have the field set up the way they did it now,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: but it's really cool for baseball. I wish I got
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: to take part in a game like that when I
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: was playing.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was pretty awesome going there the first for
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the first game for the for the original Field of
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: Dreams game, Yankees, Kevin Costerer came out of the corn,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: The teams came out of the corn. They did an
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: unbelievable job Major League Baseball. I actually got to because
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I was there for Fox. At the end of the game,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: my son was with me. They ended the shot with
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: me playing catch with my son on the actual field
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: where the movie was filmed, not the MLB field, So
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: they flew a drone over we were playing catch. That's how
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: they kind of ended it. That was really awesome. Little
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: known fact I got in trouble at the game because
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: I was not there on any official capacity other than
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: is like a mascot for Fox, and I may or
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: may not have had a beer on the field during
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: batting practice, and MLB kind of frowned upon that a
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: little bit, even though the beer I was drinking was
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: a sponsor on the outfield fence KP. So you know,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: I still got a little bit reprimanded, which is always
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: in my nature. So where do you think they should
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: do one of these next I thought they should have
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: been one and done at Field of Dreams, just because
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: the next year it wasn't as cool. Maybe if they did.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: You know, they took some years off and now they're back.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: They tried to the race Race Car one last year
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: in Bristol. The rain killed it. I was fortunate enough
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: to go to Fort Bragg and play in a game
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: that was incredible. It was just the Army, the Army
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: troops there and Fort Bragg. We went and did a
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: whole day with them.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. So where do you think did you
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: First of all, did you get to play in any
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: of these games?
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: No, I never got a chance to play in any
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: of them. I love the idea of going to some
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: other military bases. I think that's a really cool thing for,
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: you know, the people serving us. The Fort Bragg thing
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: was a really cool spectacle to watch as well. You know,
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: I like the International Games as well too, so I
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: think playing a Major League Baseball game in the Dominican
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: would be a really cool venue. I got a chance
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: to play down there in winter ball, and I think
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: it would be a good showing for Major League Baseball.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I know they did a spring training game there, but
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: a professional Major League game during the regular seasons Dominican
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: it would be a pretty cool place to go.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, true, true.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: You know, I've watched basketball games on the aircraft carriers
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: on the Navy ship, so that I got to go
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: to one of those, that's pretty awesome.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: I couldn't do a baseball game anywhere like that.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: But it's amazing to me that MLB can basically make
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: a field anywhere as long as they have enough time
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: right and I got I was fortunate to go to
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: the London Games a couple of years ago. It was
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: really awesome to see that and see the atmosphere overseas.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: So I wish they would do more of these. I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: know they're hard to pull off. It takes a lot
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: of planning, trust me, someone that works at Fox I
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: get to hear them all talk about the planning for
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of these games, and how much goes into
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: it is absolutely insane. But I would love, love, love
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: to see more of those. By the way, Brian or
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Buckston reinstated from the tendail today.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: And also what's interesting, KP.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you know this or not, but
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: there's six teams that are blacked out in Iowa despite
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: the team not actually having a team. So there's six
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: teams that if you live in Iowa you can't watch,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: and I believe the Twins are one of them.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: So five years, yeah, I would imagine. I'm trying to
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: guess off the top of my head. I'm guessing it's
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: probably both Chicago teams Minnesota. I mean, are we going
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: as far as like Kansas City. I'm trying to think,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: like geography, probably would be Saint Louis Kansas City, the
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: two shik So that's four teams, two Chicago's Saint Louis,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Kansas City. I'm just trying to think geography, Colorado. Maybe
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Colorado Colorado would be a little bit of a stretch,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it is wild that they would have some
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: blackout restrictions there. I felt like blackout restrictions were for
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: when you're actually trying to watch the game in your
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: home city and you're not drawing enough. They blocked the
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: game out on TV to force you to go to
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: the game. But if you live in Iowa, where the
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: hell are you going to go to the game. Why
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: are they blacking these games out?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Well, here you go, Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, Royals, Twins, Brewers,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Sea was a little bit far too. But oh,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, we forgot Rick would, which is an
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: awesome thing they did a few years ago with the Giants.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Have they done. Have they done at Williams Double Day
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Stadium in Williams where they've done that one?
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Uh, they've done? They do?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, they do the Williamsport every year. They've done that
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: for the last year.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Four They used to they did.
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: They used to have an exhibition game there every year
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: where a team would fly in and play another team
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and it was just a an next obviously an exhibition
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: game on an off day, but they kept they kind
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: of stopped that because teams value their off days too much.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: The field is tiny, by the way. I don't know
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: if you've ever been there, but the field is Yeah.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I was just there. It is a little bit smaller
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: of a field. But it feels like you said, they're
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: able to kind of build these fields kind of out
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: of nowhere. I think Cooperstown would be a great place
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: to have these games. And yes, players do value their
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: off day more than you know most people would understand.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: But Pete players also love these experiences, these once in
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: a lifetime opportunities to do something that you know, you
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: get to take your family to your parents potentially, but
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: like a memory that you'll have for the rest of
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: your life, that this one game feels bigger than any
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: other game that you play during the regular season because
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: it's so unique. So as much as players do want
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: those off days, I think a lot of players would
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: be in favor for more of these type of games
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: being implemented.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's not go full Savannah Bananas. I love the bananas,
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: but let's not go full Savannah bananas and playing college
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: football stadiums and NFL stadiums were one of the fences
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: is like one hundred and eighty feet to left or
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: to right, depending on how they set up the field.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's try to keep it somewhattegrity.
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: Of the game because at the end of the day,
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: like we are still individual contractors were judged on our performance,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: and you can't have a picture go out there with
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: and I know they did it. Where did they do it.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: They did it in Why am I drawing a blank?
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: The coliseum. They played that game there and it was
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: a little RinkyDink because of configurations. You know, the I
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: used either left field or right field was really short.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: And as cool as it is to go and play
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: in that iconic stadium, the La Coliseum, it still has
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: to be within kind of the boundaries of a normal
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: stadium because you know, if you're a pitcher and you're
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: giving up you know, ten ernies, that that sticks with you.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: It doesn't have an asterisk and say, oh, you gave
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: those up in the coliseum, like those stay on the
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: back of your baseball card forever.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: Asking pictures about going to Mexico City the last few
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: years and how much they enjoyed pitching in Mexico City,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: it's it's I mean, we've listened. We've had games in Japan,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: We've had games in Australia, We've had games in Korea. Right,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: We've had games in Mexico, Puerto Rico. I got to
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: play in Puerto Rico. They've they've done this in London,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: which was really cool. So I'm all for it. It
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: breaks up the monotony of the season. They played a
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: cricket ground in Australia, so listen. I'm all for it.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: As a player, it broke up the monotony. You had
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: something to look forward to. You're like, man, we get
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: to go to four pragg This is gonna be awesome
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: in the middle of the season, So I think it's great.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Tim Kirchin had in his podcast on the Foultairy Network,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: is this a great game?
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Or what?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Had a segment debating have a catch, which is what
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: they say in Field of Dreams, or play catch? And
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: now it's funny. I don't know how you say it,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: but when I came up with the Twins, we were
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: told to call it catch play, not play catch because
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: you're not playing, so you're having a catch play, right,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: And now most guys I hear say it say it
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: catch play, especially in the Big League. So what do
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: you call playing catch or catch playing?
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: I would say at the highest level, you do refer
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: to it as as catch play. But I would say,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: like with my son who's only six, you know, I'm
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: probably gonna say, hey, you want to play catch? You know,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: I know, maybe I know grammatically maybe that's not correct,
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: but I'm talking to a six year old. So if
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: I say you want to have a catch, he would
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: be like catch what? But if I say, hey, let's
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: go play catch, he knows we're either you know, getting
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: our gloves out or playing baseball, or we might throw
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: the football around. I don't know what about you.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I call it catch play and sometimes with my son,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I'd call it fetch too. I'd be like, let's go
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: play fetch because you would throw it away and I'd
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: have to go chase it. So, you know, but your
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: kids thought at that age jail where he's still six
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: is a little bit young, and they still were trying
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: to But when he gets about eight and they try
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: to impress you with how hard they can throw, and
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: he throws it over your head and he throws a
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: shinburger at you, you'll see KP. Then you'll start calling
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: you fetch ey. I'd say often, let's go play vetch,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: let's have a fetch. I'll go fetch the ball.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're over poured back in a couple of years.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: If I'm going to say have a fetch or play.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Fetch, let's talk FABLETICX shall we? They have apparel for
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: every season. We're wearing it as we talk about it.
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: It's soft, it's comfortable. I wear it on the show
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: sometimes on FT. What else do you love about it?
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: Crats?
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: Well, I have it on right now, And I'm all
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: about quality. But you know what, you know how good
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: your clothes are when you're a parent and your kids
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: keep stealing all of it. My daughter stole the sweatshirt,
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: my son sole one of my t shirts. So it's
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: got to be nice looking.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: And if it gets a little bit chillier then it's
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: layering season and they've got layers for the fall. Shop
• 46:03

  Speaker 2: Mark Bowman of MLB dot com. So it looks like
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: Tyler Mawley saw that posting for a Game two starter,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: he allowed one run over six inning signing has allowed
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: just one run while totaling sixteen strikeouts over twelve innings
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: since the Braves acquired him from the Giants. Is this
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: just a case of change of scenery getting out of
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: a losing team or is there something else going on
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: here with mister Malley.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: No, I think it's a combination of that. I mean,
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: look at his numbers from last year in Texas. He
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: was unbelievable when he was on the mound and healthy.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: And then I don't want to rub salt in the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: wounds of the New York Mets, but maybe there's a
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: little bit of that Jeremy Heffner effect, because what he's
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: done with some of those guys in Atlanta has been
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: pretty amazing. And you know, I know it's only been
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: two starts, but maybe just a little simple conversation that
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Hefner's had with him kind of regaining that form
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: he had last year. All factor in.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Jeremy, Wait, don't don't say that.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're trying to really make Mets fans mad now
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: because they thought, oh, pitching, coaches don't matter. But the
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: Braves pitching has gone better, the Mets pitching has stayed
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: the same. We'll we'll just we'll just go with that.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: But Maley's been really good. I mean, is he the
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Game two starter if the playoffs started right now for
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: the Braves?
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I think right now, if it starts right now. Yes,
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: but I think you have some guys you're hoping to
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: come back Schwallenbach, aj Smith, Shaver. I think you could
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: see those guys potentially slotted ahead of Malley, But you know,
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: you got to go with who's healthy right now, and
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: he's pitching well. But I think he's just added some
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: depth to their roadtion. Obviously, you don't know the status
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: of Spencer Schrider coming back. You don't know when Ronaldo
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: Lopez is coming back. You know, Bryce Elders fell off,
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: fell off a little bit. But you know, I think
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: as of right now, who's healthy. I mean, we got
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: to give Martine Pez a lot of credit to I
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: was actually out there for spring training doing Vold Territory
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: and I ran into him, and you know, he he
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: was on a non roster invite. You know, I talked
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: to him a little bit, asked him how he felt physically,
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: you know, his opportunity with the Atlanta Braves, and he said,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: I feel healthy, I feel good. I love my stuff
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: right now. And look at those numbers right now, it's
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: pretty impressive. You know, the game of baseball, you get
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: written off really quickly, you know, after a bad season
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: or maybe a couple of bad seasons, but our team
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Perez has been a very serviceable starting pitcher in this
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: game for a long time.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Dave Robert said, Freddy Freeman took a took the brunt
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: of the fall on his left hand shoulder. He's banged up,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: but X rays were nominated, framing his day to day
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: for now. He was scheduled for an off day on Friday.
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: We really dodged the bullets, Robert said. It's because Freddy's
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: Canadian and he never played hockey in his life, because
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: he's born in La or in Orange County. We love you, Freddy.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: Get well soon. That was a nasty fall, KP. I
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: don't know if you ever saw it, but he just
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: like kind of ran over there and just kind of
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: fell over into the dugout and nobody.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was hell. It was an interesting play. I mean,
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I saw the kind of script get sent to us
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: this morning and then I saw this thing about Freddy,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: so I said, I got to go see it, and
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: it was weird. It was a you know, infield fly ball.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: It was kind of like he was moving over there
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: very lazily because the ball was hanging in the air,
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: and it just looked like he potentially lost feel for
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: I think he was assuming the rail that dougout was
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: gonna be there. He lost feel for where he was at,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: and he just went down the stairs like he was
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: hoping a rail was going to cut Jim. Pretty scary play,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: though it was.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: By the way, it's a rundown. It's not a script
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: because this show is very unscripted. If you ever want
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: to start it, just following that's my phone.
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: I'm new to the industry. The rundown. The rundown, not
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: the script.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: How many times producer Lady will put knives at us
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: for not following what she wants us to say, trust me,
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: she she is. She can be very mean when she
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: needs to be, and she doesn't.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: She doesn't.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: She's very passive aggressive, except she just puts a knife
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: when you've done something wrong. So when you start getting knives,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: KP and the slack, that's when you know that you
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: have officially I'm afraid.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid to check my phone right now because I
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: called it the script, but really it's a rundown. It
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: is very unscripted. That's why I love this show.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is unscripted, and especially when it's players only,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: and there's no Scott.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: It's very it gets a little sometimes off the rails,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: but we like it. We like we like sometimes being
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: off the rails. We can talk about more things than
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: just you know, the fip bore of certain players. Yeah,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: all right, we're slapping handser kp. The Tigers, half game
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: out of the Wildcard hanging in there in the al
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Central have placed Riley Green on the aisle with the
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: right hamstring string. They've recalled Corey Jokes designated Troy Watson
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: for assignment. How does this affect the Tigers in the
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Wildcard and the division race?
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: Honestly, oh, it's a huge blow. I mean, obviously getting
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: rid of Trek School was a big blow. As dominant
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: as Trek School is, he plays once every five days.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: This is a guy who's out there every single day,
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: you know, arguably their best offensive player. And baseball's been
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: really weird this year. There's been a lot of really
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: good teams where teams that we thought were really good
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: underperforming this year. And Detroit is near the top of
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: that list. But they've been playing their best baseball at
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: a time when it really matters, and losing a guy
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: like Riley Green as just really awful timing for them.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: Listen, the Tigers are the best team in base fall.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: I love the Tigers. They are not going to lose
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: a game the rest of the year with Riley Green,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Trek School was a great trade. He is not a
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: very good pitcher, so Casey May is also stink so
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: they are so much better off without them. I love
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: the Tigers. I absolutely love the Tigers. I hope they
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: win the World Series this year. They might not lose
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: a game the rest of the way. That was for
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: you Tiger fans. You guys love me In case you didn't,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: o KP. I've been getting absolutely destroyed on Twitter from
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: Tiger fans and on Instagram and all social media. When
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: I said that it would be not good for the game,
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: and I just use the Tigers an example as a
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: team that sold, but then they still have a chance
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: to make the postseason. So anyways, I didn't it's a
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: bad precedent, should I use the wrong words. They are
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: absolutely annihilating me anyways, So that's why I hope the
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Tigers win everything. I hope they win the World Series
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: and then all the Tiger fans can be happy.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: So we love you.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Tiger fans, we love you Tiger Territory. Yeah, how it
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: affects the Tigers in the wildcard. I don't know this
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: this this has been crazy. By the way, two things
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: before we go, the tarp is off in Dyersville. I
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: was so they are looking to play. It was on earlier,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: it is off now, so hopefully that clears things up.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: And second of all, Davis Martin apparently threw two pitches
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: close to south Stewart. He said a f you, that's
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: twice and they ejected Davis Martin and the Reds are.
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Beating the White Sox.
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know they ever had a guy
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: throw your head twice and then you tell them that
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: and they heave hold the picture.
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: No, I mean this is news to me. I mean
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: I saw it in there. I didn't know all the
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: context of it. But they threw them out after south
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: Stewart like called them at mother effort. It wasn't like, hey,
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: you threw one at his head, you did another one. Hey,
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: automatic ejection and then wordswork Shane like south Stewart influenced
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: the umpire to throw them out.
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: Apparently, all right, we're back, We're back. I don't know
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: what we're talking about. Oh, Phillies, Phillies, Phillies, Phillies, Phillies.
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: Phillies are in Iowa. They're playing in the Field of dreams?
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Is the wildcard to dream for them?
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: KP? Have they?
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: Did they hit their stride too early? You tie Arizona
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: for the third wild card? Will the Phillies get into
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: the postseason? The division's kind of gone now?
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: No, I think the division's gone. But did they hit
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: their stride too early? This was another team underperformed early
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: in the season, made a managerial change, Donnie Baseball comes in,
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: and then they hit kind of this rocket ship to
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: a point where I thought the Phillies would overtake the
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Braves in the division. They've kind of fallen off
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: since they're losing six of eight series since the All
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: Star Break, But I do believe there's enough time for
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: them to ride that roller coaster back up. You know,
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: the Phillies are just an interesting team to be. It's
• 54:38
  Speaker 3: one of those teams that's had this core for a
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: long time. You know, they they we thought they were
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: going to get to the World Series. They lose to
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks in that series, and you've just been waiting
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: for this team. They have all the makings of a
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: team that should, you know, be a favorite to win
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: the World Series. Look at that starting rotation, look at
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: the lineup, look at the addition they made with Luisa rise.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: But I do feel like they have enough time to
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: get back into this wildcard race.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's their exca They're not.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: They're right now. They're tied for the last one, so
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: they don't have to get back into it. They just
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: have to survive until the end of the year. I
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: they can survive it.
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think Diamondbacks are Diamondbacks are playing better.
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: The Padres got really hot. Baseball's funny, man Like, they
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: did a really good job getting themselves relevant because they
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: got off to such a bad start. Then they've kind
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: of plateaued. They're going downhill a little bit. This is
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: the team that can get hot with the best of them.
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: And maybe this is an early September through the middle
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: of September and they just kind of run away with it.
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: Maybe they separate themselves from you know, a team like
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: San Diego and Arizona, or maybe they don't.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: We'll see, No, maybe they don't. We'll never know.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: We'll well, uh, We'll see what happens with the Phillies,
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: but it's gonna it's gonna be awesome. And more teams
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: evolve the better, even if they're mediocre. At least there's
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: people talking about baseball. By the way, is that to
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: touch them all?
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Joe hat? You have one?
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. I got to touch them Joe from
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: his golf event. You know, I put it on. I'm
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: getting a lot of slack here that I look like
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: the Quaker oats guy. You know what, in all white.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: It's not the best look, but you know what, I
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: was busy this morning. This is what I had on.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Just a just a word for the why since you
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: said you're new on television, you don't wear white on TV.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: It's a bad It just doesn't.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: It doesn't help the people behind the scenes, especially a
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: white shirt and a white hat.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: All right, good to know, good to.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Know, just just for the future.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: But by the way, Joe invites me to his tournament
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: every year, and I've never gone. I'm gonna have to
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: go at some point. And uh, if you haven't had
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: him and his brother Fred's pecan pie. It's one of
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: the best in the world. So next time, make sure
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: you tell him and Fred you want to peak on
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: pie from me, and you'll pay for it, not me,
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: because I'm tired of handing the money for a pie
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: that I don't eat all of it.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: All Right, I will, all right, deal, deal, all right.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone, have a good one, a good night watching baseball,
• 56:47
