  Speaker 1: In an episode of Ready Out, there.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Always is a man who had T Swift's latest album
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: shipped to the press box so he can multitask.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Today a beautiful day for baseball fans and Swift. He's alike,
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: he's Cody Stavin ing and I doing.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Didn't have physically ships, but I listened to it about
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: three times on the plane. So thank god for Delta
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Wi Fi made the flying experience much better.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: That's right, And yet that wasn't a flight to Detroit.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: That was a fly to Seattle.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: If you guys follow us on YouTube, you can see
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that Cody looks like he's in a team store.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: There might be some people walking around.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: We'll do our best to h to keep the distractions
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: to a minimum. But we got we got our man's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: on the road, and that's good because he's he's there
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: and able to pour and give us the latest information.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: And we appreciate that from you, Cody.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So let's just dive right in the Tigers as you
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: are are in Seattle. Had workout today, had some players,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: is that, you know, looking like maybe they might come back?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe not? What?
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: What?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: He just just empty the notebook for us? What do you?
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: What do you have being there right, you know, on
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: d SE in Seattle.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Mostly a lot of uncertainty, but Matt Verling is in
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: the building. Bailey Horn has returned from the dreaded option
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: cycle and is in the building. Tigers don't have to
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: set their roster until ten am on Saturday, so no
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: decisions have been made. Matt Verling Colt Keith both hit
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: live batting practice. Talk to Colt a little bit. You know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: he has acted like he's feeling good, feeling close, but
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure he's going to be one hundred percent.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: He's still kind of it's like a pain tolerance things
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: as I understand it. Watching Colt swing, Paul Seawalld and
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Chris Paddock both through. You know, he looked pretty good man,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: He looked pretty regular to me Vierling. I don't know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: it's just my observation. He looked a little more maybe
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: unnatural or just rusty in the box. He's missed a
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: lot of time, so that would add up. I don't know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: you know, if any what will ultimately factor in the
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Tiger's decisions.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Colt Keith was out doing some base running work as well.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Seemed to get it pretty pretty good to high five
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: from aj Hinsch at the end, which I feel like
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: was an optimistic HI five if you want to read
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: into two things.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: So I'll be curious.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Just if I had to guess, I lean toward Colt,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: seeming like he's a little closer than Veerling, but they
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: both seem like real candidates to get on this roster.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: And then it's you know, who would you take off?
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Would you swap Trey Sweeney for Colt Keith? That would
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: seem to make sense. Maybe if you were to put
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: in Vierling, is it justin Hinry Malloy goes down? Could
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: there be a surprise? Could it be someone like Andy
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: a Banya's who's been struggling? If you did want to
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: put Veeling on this roster, I think the fact it's
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: a five game series could make a difference, because you're
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: not just thinking tomorrow, you're thinking three, four or five
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: days from now. You know is going to be closer
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to one hundred percent? Is really going to be closer
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to one hundred percent?
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Are you do?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You just want them maybe to not play a full game,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: but available in case the situation calls for it. That's
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: kind of what they have to weigh. And then Horn's
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: an interesting decision too. Would they finally go care carry
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: three lefties?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I don't know. A. J.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Hinch did say he thinks they're gonna stick with the
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: twelfth pitcher, fourteen position players set up. Brendan Hanafees also
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: can also be activated. I wouldn't be shocked at all
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: if hand, if he's on the roster over someone like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: sea Walt, I'd be very surprised. I don't I don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: think Sea Walt's gonna be on this roster. Will be
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Hannafee or Horn or could they both get on? I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: think that would kind of be the real question there.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: The high five thing is just like playing in my head.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: It is like that that that's that's that's the Cody
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Staven Higgs secial right there. I got the got the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: little things that could be big things.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt that nine fifty nine fifty nine will
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: be when this roster is is finalized tomorrow morning. They
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: they're not joking when they say they're going to take
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: it to the uh to the first extent that they
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: can uh. I it seems to me that if Colt
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: looks okay and it's a pain tolerance thing that to
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: me feels worth it to have him as an option
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: off the bench that like like like I don't I'm
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: not like.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Is he okay enough to you know, hit Munios in
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the ninth inning?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Like that's the question.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Where is that line between he can still get it
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: done or he's limited to the point it's not worth carrying.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know how you determine that. That
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: can be all hard cult make.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I know it's Minister or not.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So I know it's Cleveland, I know it's you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it's three game series. Really it's not like AJ emptied
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the clip in terms of usage of pinch pinch hut,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: pinch runners or pinch hitters. So like that to me
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: screams like it might be worth it just to have
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: a little bit more upside option.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're not using your full roster anyway, I
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: just pride themselves on using the full roster.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: They haven't really done that as of late.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: You know, you're not feeling real psyched about getting Tray
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Sweeney in the game. So I do think that's an
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: argument that bodes in Cole Keith's favor. And we'll see
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: about Vierling as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So speaking of.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe not in the most enthusiastic of reactions. Troy Melton
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: will be starting on Saturday. Obviously, his outing, I'm trying
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to pull up these specific statistics right now. His outing,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: he goes, only managed to get one out while allowing
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: four runs on three hits, all of them earned. Yet
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: he did also walk a guy. If you were curious
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: what his era is in this postseason career, it's one
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: o eight. It's not one point eight. It's one o eight,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: so so not great. But he has a chance to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: rectify it. He can maybe be in a more natural situation.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: This is another one of those aj big brain things
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: where it's like, I know what happened last time we
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: saw him, but this makes sense and we have to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: stick to the formula.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised people seem to have a negative reaction to
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Troy Melton getting this star. Melton's been the guy people
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: have wanted to see on the mound for a long time,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and he had one poor outing and now seems like
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: everyone wanted Cater Montero. I guess Milton only through fourteen pitches,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: so he should be plenty fresh. I don't know how
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: well he will fare but I think he's the right guy.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I think he has the highest upside I I like
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: other than you know, the obvious. Is there a pitcher
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: better than him on this roster. I'm not sure, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I do think him being in a more natural starters
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: role is probably better for him than entering in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: eighth inning of a pressure packed game. I am worried
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: about him facing some tough lefties. You know, that was
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: always going to be a challenge for him. Hasn't gone
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: incredibly well since he's been in the big leagues and
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: didn't go over great facing the Guardians. You know, cal
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Rally's a switch hitter. You know he's going to be
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: facing Melton from the left side. JP Crawford can swing
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the bat a little bit. The Mariners have some other
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: switch hitters in that roster in addition to Julio Rodriguez
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: and Eohannel Suarez from the right side, but I think
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: it's the left handed hitters. I'm worried about a little
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: bit with Melton. If you can get three to four
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: strong innings from him handed over to the pin, you
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: feel pretty good. The reality is you have entered the
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: postseason with only three troops starters, so You're never going
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to fully feel comfortable here.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: But Melton still has that upside.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Man, he came through the big start at the toward
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: the end of the regular season in Cleveland. Let's see
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: if he can give you an outing like that again.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'll say this. I watched. I was standing by.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: The bullpen in Game three, and I watched as Jack
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and crew like walked onto the field and then the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: you know, the relievers walk into the bullpen, and Melton
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: seemed like a pretty chill got almost like little goofy uh,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of look to him and and like
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: what I mean by that is he didn't really seem
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that bothered. And I mean that in a good way,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: like it flush it out. Yeah, move on and look forward.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So if you're looking for small things, that could be
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a potential small thing. But the guy that is going
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to kind of hold his fate a little bit, if
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you would, is one Dylan Dingler. And he is this
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: week's DraftKings Chart topper of the week. One of the
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: underrated components of of the the game on Thursday, Get
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: My Days correct, is that you get the hometown element
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Dylan Dingler hitting the home run, you know, like I'm
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: in the stand and this is before the home run,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: but it's like, hey, are we allowed to boo him? Like,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: you know, he's from Ohio And I just kind of
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: chimed in. I was like, yeah, and he went to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Ohio State. Ever heard of it? So so great for
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Dylan to have that moment in front a lot of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: friends and family, I'm sure. And he's a guy that
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I just keep pounding the rock for to get, like
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: some a little bit greater measure of respect, naturally, And
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: this is an opportunity for him. And by the last
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: time he was in Seattle, he was still the quote
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: unquote backup catcher.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Now it's his pitching rotation, it's.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: His game, and and and so I'm just excited to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: see I mean, Dylan Dingler, the guys he changed it
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: all this year.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It just seems like he's a pretty steady dude.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: He's incredibly steady. Continue to hear comparisons to Lance Parish
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: like the quiet gladiator, like stoic, confident but not really emotional, competitive,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: but not you know, rarely flew his temperaments. I do
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: think he's become more confident as this year is gone,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and both in his play just through experience and his
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you know, his dealings with the media. He's he's both
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: accessible and he's just a little more confident in how
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: he's conveying his thoughts and his words and talking about
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: pictures and what's happening in the game. You can tell
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: this is someone who gets it, man. You can tell
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: this as someone who's a pretty special dude. Like again,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: I never expected him to hit this well, especially this
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: early in his career. He's exceeded expectations there and in
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: other elements of his game. He's been everything the Tigers
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: hoped he would be, and a little bit more, I
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: would argue. I mean, he's one of the very best
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: defensive catchers in the league. The staff that circulated this week,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: five guys in the history of baseball have caught a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: thousand innings and not allowed to pass ball. Two of
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: them did it this year. One was Cal Raley, the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: other on was Dylan Dingler. So I kind of wrote
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: about that on the Athletic, like, Raley's not the only
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: catcher to watch in this series. Not trying to compare
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Cal rolling, don't. I'm sure I'll get a snarky comment
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: or two at the bottom of that article, like, how
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: silly is this Roley hits sixty. Not saying he's kyl rot,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying he's a very good catcher. The only
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: other catcher outside Roley to be worth more war by
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Fangrafts measure was Alejandro Kirk. Only four guys spent his
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: UH spent more innings behind the plate. Dylan Dingler, in
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: his first full season, started one hundred and thirteen games
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: behind the plate, played one hundred and eighteen games behind
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: the plate, played twelve with the Tigers' final thirteen games
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: before clinching behind the plate. They have asked a lot
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of him and he is delivered, you know, really in
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: any way you could you could want.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Look, man, he threw out Jose Ramirez on a breaking ball.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Now it was set up well outside and all that stuff,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: But like I'm just saying, like that's like, that's stepping
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: up to the moment, that skill, and that's ability right there.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: So Dylan Dingler is our chart Topper of the Week
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: presented by DraftKings. Draft Kings Sportsbook used code foul my
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: five dollars to get two undred dollars a bus bets
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: if this bet wins one of the bets you could
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: do is Dylan Dingler to have two plus hits in
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Saturday's game. Dylan Dingler is a five hundred hitter against
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the Mariners this year, Cody and fun fact, his first
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: three hit game was that March thirty first game against
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: against Seattle in that park, first three hit game of
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: his career and the last time I was kind of
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: hoping they were going to make Logan Gilbert the starter.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: But he did have a double.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And a single in a game against Seattle on July thirteenth.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: This was in Detroit against Logan Gilbert, so he does
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: have somewhat of a track record here. So two plus hits,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: you can get that at plus four four to eight
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: ust code foul and you get you can bet five
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: dollars and get two ndred dollars in bonus bets if
• 12:45

  Speaker 1: All right coming back here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I did want to broach this topic a little bit Cody,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: to see if like there's any validity to it. And
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that's what we're seeing, like in a way kind of
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: like the maturation of Carry Carpenter. So Carry Carpenter, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I I went back and I watched like the TV
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: copy of key moments from the series, and one of
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the things that just kept I didn't I didn't go
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: in looking for this, but one of the things that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: kept standing standing out to me was how emotional and
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: overt he was, especially during Game three, but like throughout
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the series, Like he gets the walk after kind of uh,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: campaigning for the foul tip there and uh and he's like,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: you know, doing this circular motion with his hands to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the dugout like let's go, let's go, you know, like
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: you know, kind of firing.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Him up a little bit. And then he was the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: first one to jump.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Dylan Dingler, he was the first one to
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: jump over the railing in celebration with the Dingler home run.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So we're dealing with.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: A little background noise, that's okay, we'll let it roll. He,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: like I said, jumped over the rail and first guy,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you know, first hype. And then when Riley Green hat
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that single in the seventh RBI single, he was the
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: tallest on the dugout steps, like, you know, hyping him up.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And that's not need to say what happened after he
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: scored a run as well, And I also think he
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: might have been the fastest out of the dugout during
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the celebration. Then he says some things like, you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: everyone talks about fifteen and a half, but we're going
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: to Seattle and they're not. I was like, dang, Carrie,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: like I didn't know you had that in your bag
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: to just kind of, you know, throw it out there
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: like that. So I don't know, man, I don't know
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: if this is in addition to playing well, obviously don't.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know if this is something. But maybe this
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: is a new era of carry Carper. Maybe maybe he's
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Daddy Karp. Now you know he's a father. He's a
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: little bit more assertive, like you know, like fatherhood changes you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing, so like maybe this is a new carry.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: A couple of Budweisers change you too. I don't know
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: for sure if Carrie drinks, but pretty sure he had
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: a little pop in his hands. So you know, the
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: quotes start to become a little bit more spicy after
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: that helps him when you win.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: But no, I do think it was good to see
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: that from Carrie.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: You know, a little confidence, a little swagger, and he's
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: been playing with a little confidence, an little swagger. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: think he knows, you know, he's like a figure in
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: the Tigers Guardians rivalry now you know the Kde Smith
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Homer this season and even a couple of big moments
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: in the Alds.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: So, uh, yeah, I don't know if it's.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: A new carry, but yeah, a little bit of a
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: matured carry and more like all these guys, a more
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: confident carry. I do think going through someone lasked AJM
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Sda like you know, it was going through the losing
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: strategy to harden this team. I mean I think it did,
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: maybe in ways good and bad, maybe not all good.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: You know, some of these guys were under a lot
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: of pressure, Riley Green, but that's some growing up. That's
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: a growing up experience, and these guys have some a
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: lot of winning experience under their belts now too. So
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: when we talk about a lot of these guys, I
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: just think in very subtle ways, you're you're starting to
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: see some growing up.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: That's a good way to put all these subtle ways,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: like you know, it is kind of they are growing
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: in front of our eyes in very real ways and
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: uh and specific to to Carry, Like we talk a
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: lot about, you know, on air and off air, kind
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: of like this vacuum of like who's going to kind
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: of be like an emotional leader, who's going to be
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: kind of like willing to just kind of say stuff
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: that everybody just needs to hear and not even like
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: controversial things, but like you know, statements like that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Sure everybody felt that, but Carry's one that said it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: So uh So, who knows, maybe this is one of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: those other small things that could lead to big things.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: But keeping keep an eye out.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I'm asking everybody keep an eye out on on the
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: enthusiasm of Carry Carpenter, because I do believe that's that's
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: a real thing and it did contribute to, uh to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: winning in Cleveland.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: We'll see if it does in Seattle. All right, I
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: asked Troy Melton today. You know he started the year
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: in the ear you think he'd be starting a playoff
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: game he said. He basically said, yeah.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I like that. Like that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: It was like, that's always how I won my my
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: year to go. He said, I definitely didn't want it
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: to end stand in Urie. So I mean, I guess
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: that's obvious, right, everyone would feel that way, but he.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Kind of came out and said it, and I was like,
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I like it. I like it, Troy. I know you're
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: so calchill, but hey, a little confidence.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, these things connected.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: These things are related, and I'm always down whenever guys
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: aren't doing the cliche things like oh I don't know, no, yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I expected that. Uh So, anyway, we will have a
• 18:44
