• 0:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know how I'm gonna start the show today.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: You texted me a very interesting.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Story, which one lead a former teammate of yours.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even I don't even know what to
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: say to that.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Why it's kind of funny, it's ridiculous.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: He's forty four years old, he's playing in the WC
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: and you get popped for not one, not two, not three.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Four steroids, four freaking steroids. You get popped for four
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: different ones. Then he had like one at bat. He
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: didn't really, I don't know what he's doing. Why is
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: he on the team.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm doing that.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I just don't understand. I don't know. No one, not two,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: not three, four different steroids, Alexe, No, no, I just
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: don't get it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: For anyone unaware. Just to fill you in so you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: don't feel like you're on the outside. Forty four year
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: old Cuban WBC participant Alexey Ramirez ended up testing positive
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: for not one, not two, not three, but four steroids.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: It was announced by the International Testing Agency.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Just means he's officially done.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I think he's banned. I think that's gonna do it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: He is not going to come back when he's forty
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: seven or forty eight.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Dubai the Dubai League might get him.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if they're testing out there.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Guess why he could go there.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Did he plan that?
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Probably a lot of those guys did, a lot of
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: guys that were unemployed went out there and did.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: It, and I don't don't even know how it went.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: But I know Bartolo Cologne's throwing in edge on, so
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: there's definitely some steroids in that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: In a quick search, he is not participating in that
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: tournament either, So I just thought it was fun, fun
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: way to kick off the day, a little caffeine boost.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Some times it's ridiculous. I mean, it's if you have
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: to do that to play, just go home.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, but yeah, want to back go home. He's
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: in screw it mode because what do you.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Think he's going to get another big league job?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: No, he just.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Wants to be ready to play in the WBC. Or
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: maybe he just uses them on the rag and that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: what he likes to do.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, you played bad decision. Yeah, I'm not going
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to talk about that bad decisions.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about your experiences with him. Nope, Okay,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: It when AJ doesn't comment. I already know it all,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I know it. All right, let's talk about a superstar
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in our sport right now, let's charge.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Let's charge about now.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: His team did not win the game, but Shoheo Tani
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: again pitched quite well, and he is a young candidate,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and the emerging storyline with him, which is fun, is
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the balance of him making every start, which apparently is
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: what he wants to do, versus playing time in general.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Here's Alden Gonzalez obviously having him do both duties and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: theory practice.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: It's great. This is in his story about Dave Roberts.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I should say, but how sustainable is it without kind
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: of taking a little bit off his plate a little bit?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: That's the question. And it's not an exact science.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: On show Heo Tani's half days now, he hadn't done
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that in years until last time around. And that was
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: after Remember he got hit in the shoulder in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Mets series and the next start, they're like, all right,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in the Met series, they're like, let's just skip the hitting.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So now this happens again. And before we get into
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: any of this, we do have to have one of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the fun told just so moments where you guys have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: both mentioned this at times. I mean like, yeah, maybe
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: they're going to do this, And anytime you guys have
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: mentioned this, it has been met with pure venom.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know that, right, you guys have talked about but yes.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, but you guys have been met with pure venom.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And this has been brought up for.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: What saying that there would be days where he doesn't
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: DH and he pitches only yeah, like people are like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he's never had do that. His stats are not the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: like they're the same, It doesn't matter, and it's like,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: this is the problem that I have.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You guys are just taking us inside MLB organization since
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you both spent a lot of damn time in them.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: So I would just like to tip my cap to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: both of you for taking the venom for literally just
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: pointing something very innocently out and then who it actually happened.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Good job.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So I like this AJ They're going to balance a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: little pt maybe occasionally maybe half the starts he doesn't hit,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and guess what if he makes every start, you might
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: win the cy Young Award. And that's a big accomplishment
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: for him, and that's called word with your superstar. But
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: that's what he wants, and that isn't that okay? If
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers says.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: He hits in the playoffs, I don't care what he does,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: because they're going to be in the playoffs as long
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: as he hits in the playoffs, right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And don't you think Andrew Friedman and the front officer
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: saying the same thing, like, cool, as long as you
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: hit in the playoffs, long as you feel good the
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: whole year, will let you make all of your starts.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Just work with us.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: And Otani already said again after this game that he said,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I'm going to respect the decision regards whether I'm pitching
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: or doing both. I understand the importance of getting to
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the end of the season with everybody healthy. So talking
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: with the training staff, talking with the team, I think
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: it's really important that the team makes the decision on
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: what's good for the team. So he's saying the negotiations
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: playing out publicly. AJ Doc said, we hear you. You want
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to make all your starts and maybe win a cy
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Young Award with your six over thirty innings so far
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: this year. He says, cool, you guys tell me how
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I can do that and make you guys feel comfortable
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that I'm going to be good for October.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Handshake done, stud.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I mean it all comes down to what's
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: more valuable, I guess, but I mean his fifty to
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: fifty years pretty valuable.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I did and pitch.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I know that's why he was able to put up
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: those numbers because remember he didn't pitch that year. So
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: I think he'll pitch when he wants to, Like we've
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: kind of already talked about a little bit, and you'll
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: and they'll let him hit when he wants to.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: But I like this idea.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You're taking a little bit off his plate because we've
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: never seen anybody be able to do this because remember
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: back and Anaheim used to have to take like the
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: day off before he pitched, the day after he pitched.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: That was in the I think the first Yeah, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: they got to do it because he was It's a lot.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: So here we go. He's thirty one years old now
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: and he's gonna have to figure out a way to
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: keep him on the field. That's the most important thing.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: So if he's got to take a day off for
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: two dhing, Okay.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: There's I mean there's rarely do you get hurt on
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: one play. It's the culmination of never recovering. It's all
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: the wear and tear, and so the Dodgers are trying
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: their best. Nobody's that they've never nobody's ever navigated these waters.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: So they're trying their best, and they're not just like
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: show hey, how do you feel?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: I feel good? Okay, show hey, go ahead. There's so
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: many different things. And do they use all the all
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: the mechanics, do they use all of the different gadgets?
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but there's ways to see how how
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: elevated his heart rate got during the game, how quickly
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: down What does that mean for recovery. The only reason
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I said the fact that if he pitches an entire
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: season and he hits, his hitting will not be as
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: good is because I watched games.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: I watched games when he.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Would get into the seventh inning of a game and
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: he'd go to try to leg out a triple or
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: a double. You could see his legs. He was running differently.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: If you don't believe me, go back and watch the highlights.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying everyone, so for people who want a
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: cherry pick, but there's just there's a different level of
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: exertion that nobody has ever experienced. And so for the
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Dodgers doing this, it's great. It's okay if you only
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: hit thirty five home runs. It's okay if you don't
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: get all seven hundred at bats that you want. Because
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: he really, and I don't know that I've heard him
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: say he wants a sy Young, but the way he's pitching,
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: he clearly is like, this might be the best my
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: arm field this year and next year to win a
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: cy Young.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to go for it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: We love our Dogdabella, who's really just accounts cushion in
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: our house.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And you do anything for her.

  Speaker 1: and is not engaged in the business of insurance.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And also, he was on five days rest.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: That's less than usual, but he doesn't normally do that,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, right, so my day's rest is more than
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: most guys get still though, but.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Not him, right, So he pitched the twenty second you're
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: going to have to go back to six days.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: So now that he's superstitious like that, I think they'll
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: bix that in. But like, look, so he pitched on
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: four twenty eight before that was four twenty two, so
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: six days right before that, four fifteen, seven days before that,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: four eight, seven days before that, three thirty one.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: That's like nine days.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: So the Dodger's like, okay, you want to pitch a
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: little more frequently again, Let's.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Just get you a little want to make stealthy all
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: they you care about it some healthy in the postseason.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: They just want him healthy in the postseason. Postseason, he
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: probably will DH and pitch because there's so many off
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: days in between. So I, I mean, it's cool and
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I get it, but it's just a big story because
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: it's Shohane and you've never seen anything like that, so
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: nobody exactly knows how to do it.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: And how much do you push it? How much? Like
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: what's the point?
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: So I'm sure if shohe has said I want to
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: win a cy Young, and he watches foul Territory religiously.
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: He knows he has to make his starts to win
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: the cy Young. So, hey, I want to win the
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: cy Young. Andrew Friedman, Dave Roberts, Okay, that's fine, but
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: we're gonna sit you down some of these games that
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: you're pitching. You're not going to DH. No, I still
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: want to hit two. Then we can't have you start
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: like we've set out the whole seven days rest, six
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: days rest.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: He's like, no, I want to. I want to. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: want to get after it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: I want to win the sy Young because it's the
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: one thing that I haven't done and I'm just an
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: absolute cyborg if I do it, And I think there's
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: probably some kind of negotiations just my opinion, but there
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: has to be a give and take because Aj said it.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: He's thirty one years old and he's doing something that
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: even twenty three year olds can't do for half a season.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: And I love that they called him, what is it
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: half halftime player or something like he started the game.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: He was a starting pitcher, that's a full time player.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get what you're saying. Well, he did half
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: what he usually does.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: But they called him he didn't say it was half
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: show hey. I forget what the exact quote was, but
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: he was. He like, he did what everybody does. He
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: did what Yamamoto is gonna do when he makes his start.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Glass now thrown for him today when he makes his start.
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: Like all these dudes make their starts, that's their full
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: time job. So to say, show hey did a half
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: halftime or he was only working part time last night
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: is so hilarious.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And right now, where for most starters five or six
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: starts into their campaign, he's got the best dra in baseball,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: White Sox. What happened? Thanks to the White Sox. Thanks
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: to the White Tux.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: They beat up Soriana last night.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Oh you're saying, because they got a few runs off
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: him and his r balloon to what point eight something?
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: So but in the National.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: You're welcome show. Hey, the White Talks took care of you.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Now you can say with him next year.
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: I'm so I'm so glad.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Opt out he has he hasn't opt out.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I'm so glad. Terrible. Yeah, that's not it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Then he can opt out. That's not happening. O Tani
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: has an O six o r A the competition right now?
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Do you know it's the second best e r A
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: in the National League. I don't think you're going to
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: get it. I really don't. And me saying that should
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: already tell you he's eighth in.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: The National League.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Give me a division.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Stop National league quest kind of a I don't want
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: to say a strict question, but no, he's up there too.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: These are some of the candidates for show. Hey, don't
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: lander as a two two five R and thirty two
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: innings and that's Colorado. Second, Justin Robleski, Oh, for gosh,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: one and a half and thirty innings for him?
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Wow, fantastic forgot. Yeah, I mean, it's just weird that, uh,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: there's two guys on the team.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: By the way, Clay Holmes is dealing. He helped again night.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: They need to pitch him every.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Day, one seven, five and six starts for him, Bryce
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Elder one night Sal Sales two three to one and
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: six starts. I mean, there are a lot of National
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: League guys off to a great start, and these are
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: cooler ras some of the ones that you're looking at
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: on the screen, a few that we're mentioning in the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: two's like Sale Dolander, Michael King, Tyler Glass. Now, but
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: oh wait, Joejeo Tani has an six zero and thirty innings,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: So if he keeps up anything close to this ridiculousness,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: he absolutely can win a cy Young Award, and for
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: personal accomplishments that is number one on his list right now,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I think that's obvious, right. Can you take a two
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: way player who is dhing almost every day and have
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: him be the best starting pitcher in the.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: National League and win an award like that? It would
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: just be another notch.
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Krats looks like my looks like my lock from the
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: beginning of the year might hit under fifty home runs
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: for Shoho Tony, because.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, he just if he is really focused on.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Winning a cy young and he says, this is what
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: I want to do, and he does it like that's
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: a that's a joke, Like he's making a mockery of
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: our game with the ability that he has to just say,
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'm gonna focus a little bit more
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: on that. You know what, I don't have to pitch
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: besides rehabbing my arm. I'm gonna go out and hit
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: fifty homers. Oh you want me to steal basis? Sure,
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: fifty of those two? Oh, I'm gonna go. I can't
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: wait till he starts playing the outfield when he's like
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: thirty five.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: That'll be fun to watch too.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: He's definitely going to play the outfields one day.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: He did do that?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Do that? Sure he did that?
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: And with the I thought so like, did he not?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe for one, I don't know, I don't remember that,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: but consistently.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I thought it was like for just like a game
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: or two, Oh he might have.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: He might have popped out out there for Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: For anybody, for anybody who gets sick of us talking
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: about show, hey, stop like stop getting sick of us
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: talking about show hey, because his like what he does.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Even the first time I ever saw him at nineteen,
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I was more impressed with how fast he ran. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: the dude was throwing one hundred miles an hour at
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: nineteen years old.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Like, there's so.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: Many things that he can do. He played, it says,
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: seven games in the outfield. Yeah he had. He had
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: eight innings total in twenty twenty one.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was quick, but he did play
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: in the outfield a few times.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: He was going, no wonder he won the MVP. He
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: is a versatile player.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: If you're sick of us talking about him, then foul
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Territory in nineteen twenty wouldn't have worked either. We would
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: have talked about Babe Ruth a lot and no much better.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: That's what he said.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It's worth going over the quotes by Rob Thompson after
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: he was let go by the Phillies.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Hours later, he shows.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Up on a conference call with reporters for twenty minutes
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, the time spend and what.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Happened the whole deal.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: And first off, most people around the game, AJ said
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: tip of the cap.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Respect.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Many managers don't do this, and he was so complimentary
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: of just about everything and also talked about how he's
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: such a lifer. We always we use that word with
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: an elite group. He's been in the game for like
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: forty something years, so he's like, I don't even know
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: what I would do. He's like, they were like, what
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: are you gonna do tonight? He was like, watch the Phillies.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: They're like, what are you gonna do this summer? He's like,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: maybe go in the pool and then watch the Phillies.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And then eventually he's going to join the Phillies again
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: because they invited him to be part of the organization,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: kind of like remember Larry Bow has been part of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the organization forever, he managed them back in the day.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: You give it a little bit of time and then
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: he'll return, probably in spring training next year.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Is my death?
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just you just don't want to. You can't
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: be around right after me because you're just like going
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: you don't want to make it awkward for Don Maddingly. So,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: Rob Thompson loves baseball. He's gonna watch baseball and he's
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: gonna root for his guys. It's not like he's like, oh, man,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: I hope, I hope the Phillies lose every game. No,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: that's not the way he is at all. I'm sure
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: he's when they won last night, he was he's frighting
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: hell yeah, heck yeah, man, I way to go, Phillies,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Way to finally hit. I got some text from some
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Philly buddies of mine and they're like, oh, now these
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: guys want to hit because they fired Topper cold down.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: It's one game.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: And the best start of the year from their their starters.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I think that was the first time someone went there.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: They're also they faced like the fifth starter for the Giants,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Dudent Tyler Miley. I thought it was the other.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: One's really good too this year. But I get what
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: you're saying.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: It's been good. But yeah, was at one point. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: don't know how Bone finished, but he was one for
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: one after the Thompson firings.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: So maybe it was.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Molly.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, he has had one or two good addings,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: but he's got a five eight to seven.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Giants fans are pissed about the way that they handled
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: starting pitching the off season with Molly and Howser. Everyone
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: thought in the beginning of the off seas and they're gonna
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: get a big starter. Anyway, I'm going off topic, but
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I thought this was cool for Topper to just.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Kind of lay it all out.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: He had a lot of interesting things to say, in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: my mind, including not being pissed that they called Cora
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: on Sunday while he still had the job.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: You kind of have to do that anyway.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: You're right, they're finding out what they're doing, and then
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: they ultimately decided to go with maddingly, but it was
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: just one, as Bob Nightingale put it, classic comment after another.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: No ill feelings towards Dombrowski reaching out to Cora Sunday
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: while Topper was still the manager. He said, Dave and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: I have a close relationship. That doesn't stand in the
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: way for him doing the right thing for the organization.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I respect that.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: Just a classy guy, man. Yeah, Rob Thompson's a classic guy.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: And that's it. There's nothing else to say. He's a
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: classy guy. He handled this right way. And if you've
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: talked to Rob Thomason, he never thought he was going
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: to get to manage a major league team, and he
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: got the opportunity and he had a lot of success
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: doing it. I would not be shocked if teams called
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: in this offseason and said, hey, Topper, you want to
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: get you want to try to manage our team. I
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: do you respect this guy has in the game.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Do you think he would take another manager role?
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Why not? Yeah?
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: He was almost out of the game before he got
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: the Phillies job. He was ready to leave. He was
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: like he had told a few people, this is gonna
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: be my last year, and then they started out poorly.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: They fired Joe, they hired him, went to two games
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: away from winning the World Series against the Astros. When
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: people say stuff like like Scott said, he's a baseball lifer,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I don't think of Topper as a baseball lifer. I
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: think of Topper as a key piece to baseball.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: He is the epitome of humbleness. He is the epitome
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: of we'll take a job and isn't going to look
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: to ladder climb or whatever the word is. He just
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: knows the game. He sees the game differently. When he
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: was the bench coach for Gabe Kapler, that Gabe Kpler
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: experience that happened in Philly. I would watch games we
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: were playing against him, and you're like, you're sitting on
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: the bench and you're always watching, Okay, you know, see
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: what teams are doing, see how they're reacting to things.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: And Topper was looking this way at what was going
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: to be happening or what could happen, and Capler and
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: whoever else they had on the bench were looking at
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: other places like they were just like watching the ball go,
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: watching the ball go. Topper gets what's going on. And
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: when people use the phrase baseball lifer, it's usually somebody
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: who's like, Oh, I don't care, like I'll just do
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: this and you gotta do it my way. You gotta
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: He's changed with the times. He has adapted to the players.
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: He has made connections with players, with front office and
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: exactly what Aj said.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: He's a pros pro like, he's a guy that is
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: respected that it might be tough for him to get
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: a job as a manager because I don't see him
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: going out there and being like, oh, you guys are rebuilding,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: you want me to build your team up.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: I've spent my entire life with the.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Yankees, Phillies, winning, winning, winning, and he's already done all that,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: So I think, you know, for him. He should be
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: a manager somewhere. He should be in an organization. And
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I love that the Phillies are keeping him. And he
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: texted me yesterday seemed like he was very very happy,
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: very like, you know what it is, what it is,
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: He's seen it before and he'll move on from it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, shout out.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing a live wrby Parker somewhere in We'll
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: do a live show exactly. And it's the perfect time
• 21:53

• 21:56

• 21:59

• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Of course he did, come on.
• 22:03

• 22:10

• 22:14
  Speaker 1: the Sampan Wow, because you look too, Boston.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: These are when I'm when I'm going in for my
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: contract negotiation. I don't want to intimidate the players when
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I work. It's like I'm either going to fly a
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: Fighter jet, drive my Porsche, or get the deal done.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: So Porsie, there you go. It's Warby Parker. Pusha Parsia,
• 22:36

• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Additional prescription pairs when you go to Warby Parker dot
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: com slash fault. If you think about it, I feel
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: as if teams are often scrambling to find a manager
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and like you said, is going to be Yeah, I
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: mean we cut if about thirty three percent of the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: managers over the past and just when the off season alone,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: we're probably close to half at this point different.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: But a year ago, are they scrambling to find a
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: manager or are they scrambling to find the person they
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: want to put in the managerial role. Let's just be honest,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: like if Topper, if Topper doesn't have a job after
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: this year, I hope it's because he doesn't want to.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: But do you think Topper's going to bend the knee
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: to what people want him to do in another organization.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's the most combative. It depends.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's combative. I'm not saying he's combative.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I'm saying there's a certain standard of how to do
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: things professionally, and I don't think every organization does that,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: And I think they try to.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Fill the roles.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: I think like, like, for instance, nothing against Kurt Suzuki,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: but Topper's seen so many managers become managers, and like
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: he understands like the role of how like an extension
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: past one year is like a one year contract for
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: manager kind of hurts other people and like so like
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: he wouldn't have taken that job. I don't think the
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: Nats would have gone after Topper. There's nobody half toppers
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: age that that are there, So it'd have to be
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: it would have to be a team that is like, okay,
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: we are, we're in the midst of winning and so
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: and so step down, like we have had a good season,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: go ahead.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: This would be in the off Like if he was
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: off season, I think a team like the Padres would
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: have considered him. They think about the Padres. Now Stanmon's
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: done a night great job so far. But but he wasn't
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: even thinking about this. They're sitting in meetings, they're like,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, clearly they said, we don't really like anyone.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: We're talking to Stamm and you want to do it, okay.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So I think if they sat with someone like Topper,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: they might be like, hey, we like this. I agree,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: very different vibe from Hilt.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Let's do this.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: So just to give you an example of a team
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: that I think would have signed up for him, let's
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: move to a couple others. So Bob Nightingale said yesterday
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in one of his columns, Albert Pujols could have been
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: the Angels manager, but his contract demands and request for
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: personnel changes led the Angels to instead turned to Kurtzuzuki
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: on that one year deal.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: None of this is surprising. I think I thought we
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: knew this already, the contract part, we knew. The personnel
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: changes are a little bit new.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he did. Every every manager's
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: got to get a couple of their guys in there.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: You just have to. You got to have somebody who
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: can rely on. Most of the times it's the bench coach.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: You gotta have a guy you can look at and say,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I can I can argue with you, we can fight,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: and we're still friends. And that's the one. There's usually
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: at least one, if not two guys. You can live
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: with a pitching coach, you can live with a hitting coach.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: But there's usually one or two requests you get. Maybe
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Pooles wanted to push a little bit more on that. Okay, fine,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: but the Angels they suck. They're about to get their
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: house swept by the White Sox. They are not good.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: They're not good. No, Ulpen's terrible, some of the moves.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Cakuchi's hurt now, I mean it's it's I.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Don't know, it's falling fast.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, Kakucie just came out after two innings. That's
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: not good. No. I mean, I'm assuming again you might
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: not be hurt, but I'm guessing he's hurt. Why would
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: he come out off for two innings?
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I have to imagine. I mean, it's not like they
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: drove up his pitch count. It's as they haven't even scored.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Let's go, let's let's go to the contract demands. Anytime
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: Ardi moreno is demanded to spend more money on something
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: that may or may not help the team. He usually
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: goes in the other direction. Oh, we got to pay
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: Albert wants this amount of money, he wants this many
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: million dollars. Well, we're gonna pay this guy eight hundred
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: thousand and give them one year contract. Oh, you want
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: to bring in a new director of baseball operations. Oh
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: he wants to revamp my entire minor league system.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: Nah.
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I don't think that stuff's worth it. Like exact
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: quote that he gave somebody who he was going to
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: bring in as his baseball player director of baseball operations.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think the minor league is worth it.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: The deal for Suzuki should say everything you need to know.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: He's the only pitch he's the only coach in baseball
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: manager in baseball.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: That's said.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: Not Suzuki's fault. Not Suzuki's fault at all.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I know that I'm saying the way that you treat
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: someone in the business.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Lastly, Carlos Mendoza said no conversations with David Stearns or
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: other team leaders about his status. This was before the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Mets pounding the Nationals and having the inning of their
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: lives or at least of the season thanks to what
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: was that dude's name, Vivas with the with the little
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: error ball sneaks under, turns into a nice, chunky inning
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: for the Mets and they take down the nationals Ate
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: nothing yet Lttel's just really going through it. To me,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that's just a total I started late. Some guys just
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: really struggled to it.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: He gave up a ton of homers last year too,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: That's true. He's continuing that trend.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: That's true, but he was but still like he was
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: pretty good last Year's a lot of solo homers.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Like he still put up some d still giving up
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: number homers though I know he's still giving up a
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: lot of homer. It's a tough national good bound period.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Boba schett homer, so did Soto Sodo. I know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: maybe the hing for a few days whatever. They'll be fine.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: But I mean they might not be fine, but he'll
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: be fine. Travis Bizana debuted yesterday and in the bottom
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: of the ninth inning, two outs, runner on second, they
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: intentionally walked him and it worked to perfection because George
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Valeria came up and hitter three pitches ballgame. Imagine if
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: you made your debut and you're like all right here.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: It is. I could I could.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Hit the one they lost.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: One nothing they lost. I'm saying it worked.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: First about he got well, he got his doors blown off.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: His first I tuned in, his doors got blown off.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Then he got a walk. Martinez, Yeah, over two with
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: two walks.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But Kevin Cash like, yeah, I don't really know this
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: guy yet, but I'm good.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: We'll take the pinch hitter off the bench. That was smart,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: very smart, very smart. But you just don't see that often.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: By the Razor doing really well this year, but they
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: are seem to make all the right moves.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: Cash is really good.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: Cash learned from some guy named Tito. He did humhmm,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: wondering how well in Cincinnati.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: This came out a couple of days ago, but I
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: just didn't get to shout them out. And I don't
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: think we've said either of their names on our show
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: this year. The players of the Week this week from
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: last week. It gets announced on Monday. Carlos Cortes, Orlando native,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: who's hitting for the A's. It's twenty eight years old,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: one of the best contact and barrel rates in baseball.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: It just it's the cool baseball storylines. You don't get
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: this in basketball where Okay, I'll give you the other
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: one Il tomorrow Vargas, who has been in the BIGS
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: for a while. It is like a ten year vep
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: but he's never hit like this. As of a day
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: or two ago, he was leading in the National League
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in many offensive categories. He's thirty four years old.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he still is leading a bunch of stuff crazy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: He's been on the Diamondbacks four times. They've sold his contract,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: bought his contract, released him, signed him. He's not a
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: coveted player, and all of a sudden.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: He's ripping. So I just wanted to shout out those
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: two guys.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: We don't often say who oh this person at the
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: best six days, but I just felt like those two
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: names combined were just a good picture of what.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Baseball can do. I really see that.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, all of a sudden, here's this
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: thirty five year old basketball player who's the best player
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: in the sport for a few weeks. Basketball actually kind
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: of has the best player in the sport for like
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: twenty two years.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Prom's still really good.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: If you want to talk about traveled, go look at
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Hildamar Vargus.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: My thing though classic can you hear me.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Okay, either way you can still hear me. But scottyilamorro
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: Vargus's baseball reference page is legity Schmidty like it is long,
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: it is lengthy, it's got winter ball. I think he
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: even played winter ball this year. Yes, he had one
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: hundred and eighty five played appearances in winter ball in Venezuela,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: hit three seventy. So just just go take a look
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: at it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, Scott's looking at it right now. That's why you
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: can't speak.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: No, No, I get it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: I'm waiting for coach Scott. We can handle this. We've
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: done this plenty times without you. Audios.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: If you have two minutes, because that's what you're about
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to have, what are you going to and actually you
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: can you have to throw it to crats because for
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: me to get my thing, that's how this works.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: What are you bringing up?
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: I have two minutes right now to talk about anything
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about. Can we talk about Cam Schlitzler.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Let's talk Cam Schlitzler. First of all, no, I didn't
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: win my bet, but that dude is unbelievably nasty. He
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: goes ninety nine to one hundred with a ninety four
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: mile on our cutter ball, and he was just punching
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: tickets last night crowds against de Groham, who pitched really well.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Of course, Judge hit a homer and Bellinger had a
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: big double, But did you see Cam Schlitzler. We need
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: to talk about this guy maybe a little bit more.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, when Todd was on, when Fraser was on,
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: he was talking about how this dude could be like
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: in that cy Young type of category, like they're talking
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: about like is he going to be that next like
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: Ace type of guy? And I'm like, all right, I
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: gotta start looking because you have a good game in
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: the postseason, kind of like you Savage had a good game,
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: and you're like, okay, he added that cutter thing, which
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: I felt like last year he was throwing a cutter,
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: but it was just his fastball cutting. And now he's
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: doing it from that six six armslot. And I don't
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: know how many times I've heard like he was only
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: throwing eighty.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Nine to ninety one in college.
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: And then the Yankees unlock some new things in their
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: biomechanic lab, like you better, you better listen. If the
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: Yankees are trying to figure something out Normally the Yankees
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: pitchers they just get They just are like, yep, build
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: him up in the lab, and then they trade him.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: So there's something different about Cam Schlitler because they've actually
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: kept him and it's paying off for him.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Just the best rotation in baseball. That's the next question
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: once they get imagine when they get Garrett Cole and
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Carlos Rdon back and then they I thought they had
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: an interesting talk last night on UH. I think it
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: was the Rangers that I was watching. They said, if
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: Cam Schlitler does the way things he's done Max Reed's
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: and the things he's done, Garrett Cole comes back, Garrett Cole,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Rdon is pitching, Well, he's probably not. In this conversation.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: You go to a game one of a five game series.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Who starts Game one for you?
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: Max Freed?
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: It's tough.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: It's an argument. Who do you think is got over
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Garrett Cole? If he's healthy and right.
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: I mean, you gotta tell me. You can't just you
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: can't just tell me like what Garret Cole am I getting?
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Am I getting cy young? Garrett Colem?
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: I getting?
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: If he's healthy and right, he's Garrett Cole.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Garrett Cole is healthy in cooking.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: If Garrett Cole comes back three e RA after Tommy
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: John surgery, after the age of thirty, I think that's
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: a successful season and I'm not starting him game one.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: If Garrett Cole comes back and he's got a one
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: eight e R he's punching you know, eleven guys per nine, Yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: then I'm throwing Garrett Cole because he clearly is locked
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: in and clicked in. We just talked about it last
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: year all the time. Shane Bieber even talked about when
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: he came on the show, like some days you just
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: don't feel it right after you come back from Tommy
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: John surgery. So it really have to depend. If he
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: has no blips in the radar, I'm going to Garrett Cole.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: If he does, I'm going to Max Free it's okay.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: If it's okay if Cam Schlitler starts Game two or
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: game three, because last I checked, nobody is getting knocked
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: out of a five game series in two games. So
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: to me, I want the experience throwing Game one. So
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: whoever is the most experienced in or whoever is the
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: most whoever is the hottest going into that series, that's
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: who I throw first. And right now it's Max Freed
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: because I don't know what Garrett Cole.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Has and in an ideal world, isn't right left right
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: fun mm, so you've got that if you want it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Hey, J, do you think that's Do you think that's
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: tough in a series?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: No?
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: I never cared.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: It didn't matter at all.
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's overblown now now teams
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: like teams, teams mix up their lineups, so you're like, okay,
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: well if you throw a lefty tomorrow, then all these
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: righty's that sat on the bench today because Garrett Cole
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: started Game one are playing the next day.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: So that's why I asked AJ, because it's like, you know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: they he's the starter, so he's going to start no
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: matter He's going to start, no matter what lefty, righty.
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: So why would that matter from one night to the next?
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Is my thing?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I think more importantly, let's use the Phillies as an example,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: since they've been awful against left handed starting pitching. If
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I'm facing them in a series, right, just whatever team
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: I am, I just I want my lefty in the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: series as early as possible.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Because I want to try and rack a couple of wins,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: were trying to steal win.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, get a game one win, and if it's a
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: five or seven, depending on the off days, whatever, I
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: want that pitcher popping up again as soon as possible.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: That would be the focal point over the right.
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, Phillies starting pitchers last year shut down the
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: Dodgers lineup who ended up being the World Series because
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: they threw They threw Sanchez, they threw Suarez and they
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: threw Lozardo and it was like something ridiculous like show
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: hay was OH for eleven or OH for twelve and
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: on the year pitchers with like a certain arm angle
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: here or there, but they were also their three best pitchers.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: They weren't gonna throw Nola in there just to like
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: just throw them in.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: But we're here talking live Seekeek's just helping us get
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: ready for games tonight because you know where to go
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to buy some tickets. And the matchups
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: are supreme this evening. First off, I mean, we're not
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: going to talk too much about it. Yesterday's Yankees Rangers
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: game was really that was good baseball.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Good pitching, really good defensive plays.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Judge hit a monster shot that ended up being the
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: difference maker. But tonight, I want to see what Elmer
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez looks like he's pitching in this one. Boone had
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: a funny comment too that I caught. Let me see
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: if I can find it real quick. His advice for him.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: The media asked Boonie what he's telling Elmer Rodriguez.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: He said, have.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Fun, spit in their eye and go be you perfect
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: great love that. Other games, in case you're looking around,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Trek Scougle is pitching in Atlanta against j R. Richie
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Richie making his second start. I think Richie's a Tigers fan,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and he was at the game that you called the
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Tigers Mariners Marathon. I'm pretty sure I read that the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: other day that he sat.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: There gamers first.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: That's crazy about wiping it off though right after and
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: being like, yeah, I'm good.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: Anyway, was like first pitch, Hey, save that.
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: Oh you know sometimes they throw the first pitch at
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: the gate of the year and they like throw the
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: ball like screw that we're hitting a dinger.
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: Save the second one. Yes, this is the one I'm
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: talking about.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, Seattle area native, he was up there in Seattle
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: when the Mariners took down the Tigers with the fifteen
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: inning Alds Game five. That AJ was a part of
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: the broadcast, so he sat through it. Good for him
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: other ones. And then we'll tell you about how you
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: can get the easy tickets logan web against Christopher Sanchez
• 38:51

• 41:12
  Speaker 1: He hit a home or yesterday and no offense to want.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: But you're not really concerned about having him in the
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: outfield every day.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Actually a bit better at saving.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Runs, run prevention, run prevention, a.

• 43:46
  Speaker 1: three strikeouts, no walks. Blue Jays snapped the Red Sox

  Speaker 2: You.
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: Savage postgame said, I broke a lot of bats tonight,

  Speaker 1: a mini legend in Toronto.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: They freaking love him. It was lit up there.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: They sold like one hundred thousand hot dogs because they
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: do those special deals up there and then they post
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: how many they sold.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: It was a good night, it was.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: He pitched good, he looked good, he looked healthy. By
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: the way, I love game Changer, Scott. Don't ever doubt that.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Don't ever I actually miss using Game Changer.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I've never doubt it.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Trust me, I never doubted it. Can I just rip

• 44:59
  Speaker 1: They won teammate for teammate Pete Fairbanks. I l has
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: some nerve issue. Mm hmm, that's the Marlins closer that
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I mean. Phillips looked great last night, but the Marlins
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: have a decent bullpen. You'd like Pete back. We'll see
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: how long that is. And lastly, kind of buried the
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: lead here crochetes on.
• 45:16

• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Boston tonight.

• 46:16
  Speaker 5: Marlin's hat today, I just like.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: The you know, you can get clipped. Someone might clip
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: that and then take you out of context.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Not that you guys do it. Okay, Marlin's pitched pretty
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: well against a.
