Pham BEEF v. Blue Jays, Ketel Marte’s apology, Mookie’s RF meeting? · Foul Territory

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It's Tuesday. We have a lot of drama to cover today.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Multiple dramatic situations involving players multiple but I do want
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: to start with a lighter note that I think we'll
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: have our buddy Aircrats excited. There is a player on
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: the Astros who's basically becoming a member of their bullpen
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: out of the blue. We're going to talk later about
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: two way players and how we haven't really seen any
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: others emerge with O Tahani.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Could it be Chas McCormick. He's racking up appearances back
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: to back days. He's bitch because.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Well it means he wasn't too short to pitch the
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: next day, so I'm okay with it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Two scoreless appearances too.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: He might be the closer.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He struck out Jake Rogers yesterday.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: They were pounded by the Tigers ten nothing, but the
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Astros kept the baseball for him.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Eric knows what that's all about.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: Brandon Belt, he signed my ball for me, first ever
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: big league punch out.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: It was just his All Star year. And also let's
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: see a HENNYO Suarez his All Star year. You just
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: got to be able to know where to locate kind
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: of a two way player. That was the only way
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: I actually increased my hitting ability I became. I went
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: from a below average hitting catcher to an above average
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: hitting pitcher.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It must have boosted your war number or something.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Win probability added in all kinds of numbers going your way.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: True true story. I ended it with a negative point
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: one war. I mean, some of them have me a
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: positive but one of them, I'm not sure which one
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: has me at a negative point one. I'm getting choked
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: up about it. But I ended my career with that.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: My pitching numbers, I was a negative point one war.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: So if I had never pitched, I would have never
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: I would just been completely average.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: No way you're pitching. War brought your overall war down
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to put you and negative.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: If you look at my pitching war, I'm a negative
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: point one war.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: That really plays to the value of a team player.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: It was like our conversation yesterday. You want to be
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a team player. When your team needs you to pitch
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: garbage time. It might knock your war down, but your
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: team will love you, and we need those innings to
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: be eaten up.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: I can honestly say I never had to do it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: I was mad about that too. I wanted to pitch ones,
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: but I never played another position either.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: So that was kind of cool.
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: One of like the few people that played like two
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: thousand games and never played a different position.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool you.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Is that another defensive defensive position?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: That's cool. I didn't.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: I did want to pitch, though.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I feel like you would have had an awesome time
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: doing that one. Oh.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: First, I would have drilled somebody all the times I
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: got thrown at, Are you kidding me?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, smoke City, Oh I'm sorry.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a position player.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: And I would have picked out somebody, and like you
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: are paying for all the time, so I got hit.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I'm forgiving.
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I'm forgetting why that everybody told me bred Gardner told
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: me to hit somebody, And now I'm forgetting. If somebody
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: on the Red Sox he said to give me a
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars if I hit him. And I was pitching
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: and I faced him, I forget who it was. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: had to go back and look at it. And he
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: was in left and it was in Fenway. It was
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: during twenty twenty. And I looked out at him. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: was like, and he he looked back at the monster
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: and he just put his thumb up and I was like,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: all right, here we go.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I forget who it was.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: It was somebody he didn't like on the Red Sox,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: and I didn't do it because I was afraid I
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: was actually going to hurt somebody that would have.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Been while you were doing that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Do you know that your Baseball reference war is negative
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: point one? Like you mentioned you got the pitching, okay,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: your fan grafts were pitching is negative point one. As
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: a position player, your career war is that just clicked
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: me out of it?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Three points two? Yeah, it's a massive difference.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: It's seriously, that's why we're stupid. For the end all
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: be all'stat for.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: The end all.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: If you can't have one, one war that is the same,
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: then how can you have one? Because if I'm crowds,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: I'm going arbitration. I'm like, I'm three point.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Two, and then the team will say, well, no, your negative.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Point one, and teams have their own version of that.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. So that's why that that to
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: me is kind of a dumb dumb.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: So that's why I kept getting a job. That's why
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I kept getting a job.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: At the end of my career because the f I
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: think it's yeah, it's f war or whatever. It's with
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: the fielding. So all my receiving numbers boosted me to
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: the max.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to get a good laugh before the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: show started, and I was on Reddit looking at Chas
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: McCormick notes from Astro's reddit and they said, our worst
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: hitter right now is our best pitcher.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: That's usually true.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: There you go that plays.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, their bullpen is kind of a mess since Josh
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Hader went down.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Anyway, let's charge.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Starting about.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What do you guys have on Katel Marte.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: So he addressed the media yesterday and said, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: he's trying to play hard. And there was criticism written
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: about him on missing time both this year and last
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: year as a local radio host who was sticking by
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: his story and hearing it from really some members of
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the team and fans. Local reporter Dan Bickley of Arizona
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Sports and the Nick Pacoro also wrote about it in
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: the Arizona Republic. Bickley was the one last year he
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: said he missed a big game in the final week
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: of their season. Last year, remember they finished with eighty
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: nine wins. They were what essentially a game short of
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: making the playoffs. And then this year Nick Pokoro, who's
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: been a good writer out there for a long time,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you know, reported on how there was grumbling among players
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and staff. I used that word in quotes. That's what
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: he had in his story about Katel often wanting time
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: off and that his home was robbed or burglarized during
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the All Star break. He was set All Star game
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and then instead of going home to where the crime occurred,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: he went home to the Dominican Republic. That seemed to
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: piss some people off. Perdomo yesterday, who was very vocal,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: backed him up and kind of made it a media
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: versus him thing, and the media is like, yo, we're
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: just reporting.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: You want us to not do anything. And then to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: tell addressed the media yesterday, what do you got on this?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: It was good to you said something. I don't know. Listen,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: you can never get into somebody's head, so you really
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: don't know. Everyone has different pain tolerances, everybody has different programs,
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: so everybody has different mental situations that they're in physical
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and mental. So I don't know, it's.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Just some weird like I don't know why he went
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: to Dominican when his house in the Phoenix area was burgalized.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: Wouldn't you think you'd want to go to Phoenix to
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: check it out, to see what was.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Taken and get your life back together. But I don't know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: It's hard to criticize.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: So and here's the thing, it's hard for me to
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: criticize somebody and I don't know the whole story, and
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: I don't know what's going on.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, he did it. Players are yes, that's crash.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: You know this.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Guys take days off. There's rumblings in clubhouses. Yes, it
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: happens all the time. This guy, Oh, he's soft. He
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: doesn't want to play. Da da da da dah. Like
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: you know how it is. It's just what people say
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: because everyone else is out there busting their asses to
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: play and get on the field. And then if you
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: have somebody that doesn't do it all the time, yes,
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: guys rumbles.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: That's the life of an athlete.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: First of all, him not going to his house that
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: got burglarized. My hope is that maybe he was taking
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: his family from his Arizona house to the Dominican.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: They were shook up. I'm being positive. We don't know.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: We don't know what it is, but what ag hit
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: on is exactly right. Not everybody views being out there
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: every day as a thing. AJ talks about playing, you know,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: all the time, wanting to be out there all the time.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: You look at his stats, he played one hundred and
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: thirty five plus games for one hundred years. He didn't
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: play one hundred percent every day. You play through things
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: that hurt, so people's pain tolerances aren't as high. But also,
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: I think some players, I'm not saying this about Kotel Marte,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: I'm saying other players understand what it takes for them
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: to be at their best, and they don't want to
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: be out there if it's not at their best. I'm
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: not saying that they're like, oh, I'm doing this for
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: the team, I'm not out there. No, it's just a
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: different mentality. Not everybody has the same mentality. I look
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: at a guy like Chase Utley. Chase Utley probably shortened
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: his career because of playing through injuries.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: AJ.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: I'm sure can think of plenty of guys that played
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: through injuries that maybe their numbers went down a certain year,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: maybe certain things happened. But I know Chase Utley played
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: through different things that he probably should have sat out for,
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: but he was like, no, no, no, I'm not sitting out
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: for that. He ended up being able to Mega's career longer.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: But you play through certain things. Sometimes it hurts you
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: in that season and it can also hurt you later on.
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: So you just you never know what someone's going through
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: when they want to sit out ftfam. When you're playing games,
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: you kind of have some stress anxiety. Teammates need somebody
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: something to help. Now it's at your fingertips with RULA,
• 9:22

• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I think fans felt feathers ruffled when they read this
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: story from Nick mccora and Arizona Central. The headline is
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: trade could tell Marte question Mark teammates grumbling about Arizona
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: Diamondbacks puzzling star.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That's harsh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: He is either their best or second best player. If
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: you really like Corbyn Carroll for the future. Okay, he's
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: one of their best players ever.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Know if they can trade him and get a lot
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: of stuff every everybody's available.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Sure, Okay, But the thing is.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Is we don't know how bad it is because we've
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: only heard rumblings. Like we haven't had heard another player
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: come out and say like this, this or that.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Anonymous.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: They talk to these guys anonymous. That's why Nick said,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: You know, when you ask a player about to tell
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh, he's he's the best. When he wants
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: to be you know, there's a lot of that right
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: where they're pushing for him to do more or Corbyn
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Carrol kind of makeshim look bad. I mean, he was
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: playing through it like a broken bone or something for
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a chunk of the season and he's like, I owe
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: it to my teammates again, Like you said, different pain tolerance,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: but the two.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: Incidental tolerances too.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: That's the other thing everyone looks at, Like krat said,
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: everyone looks at things differently, and they say I can
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: play or I can't play, or I want to play,
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: or I don't play.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: You can't, you can't ever, you can never. It's hard
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: really to question that. It just it's just hard to
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: question that because you just don't know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's easy to look at anybody and say,
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: why isn't he playing? He's soft and then he comes
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: back and to have a broken arm or something. Right,
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: You're like, geez, you.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: Just never know.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: That's why this is a weird situation that I'm glad
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: Ktell said something, but i'd like, you know, Tory Lavello,
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: I think he spoke on it, Perdomo spoke on it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: The rest of his teammates, where are they? They should
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: all get a chance to say something.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Let's not ask or let's not act like this is
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: media versus the players. Though, that to me Kratz, that's
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: where it gets taken too far, like the me has
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: got to get off his back. Okay, well, they're not
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: writing this out of the blue. I mean he's getting
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: players and staffers telling him something and he's going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: report on it. That's literally his job. And if you're
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a real fan of a team, you want to know
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: what's going on with the team. Isn't that how this works.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: It's also part of the entertainment business, but even just
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: from a reporting business, you're reporting on what's going on
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: with the team. A player missed a big game at
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: the end of last year, and clearly some teammates didn't
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: like it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: They might be wrong, they might be wrong.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: It might be like, hey, you don't know, it's Payton tolerance.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: And then the same thing this year, where there were
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: multiple spots where the team felt like he should have
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: been there. The thing that clearly rubbed some players the
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: wrong way Krats this time around is repost trade deadline.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: There was an incident. He's not at the scene of
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: the crime, like you said, there could be a very
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: good reason, but the Diamondbacks ended up being sellers and
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: a lot of people had their lives changed.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: So it all dominoes and guess what.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: The team isn't playing the way it should this year
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: and people are going to start grumbling.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: You have issues. You have issues throughout. That's why I
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: love August. August just win like the true July. They
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: talk about dog days. No, it's really just people like
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: are sick of having a filter. And when you're losing
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: your filter really goes out the window. The really good teams,
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: the teams that are winning, they have no filter in April,
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: and so the dudes get closer because you don't have
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: this like faction of people that say on the team,
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: they're like, Shocker could tell Marte is not playing. You
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: could ask tons of bench coaches that have had different players.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna name names, but everybody knows who they
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: are that you know what came in, came in? Can't
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: go today? You know you got you got Chris Saleitis,
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: somebody's got you know. I just I don't know. It's
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: a day game after night game. I just don't know
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: if I'm gonna be able to go. And you have
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: to deal with that. You have to deal with that,
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: because if this is what's happening with ca tell Marte
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: he's an MVP candidate every year. It doesn't really matter
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: what he does. He's got to get out there and
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: he's got to play, and when he's available, you throw
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: him in the lineup. When he's not, someone else has
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: a step up.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: By the way, for anyone unaware, chrissel Ais means you
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: don't want to face Chris Sale.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Not anything with Chrisale, not pitching. Just for clarification, it's like, oh,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: super tough lefty.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I'm a lefty. I'm gonna sit. But the numbers speak
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: for themselves. Tom Marte is a superstar player, yes to.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Top ten probably top ten hitter in my book.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: I mean he led the team to a world his
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: appearance two years ago. So I think saying, oh, do
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: we have to trade him, that that's a little harsh.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Can teammates be pissed about a certain situation, Sure.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: And they should be.
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: I feel like that's one thing I think that people
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: should understand that, Yeah, because there's guys that are going
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: through stuff trying to play, and when they see other
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: guys if they don't think given at all.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: People say stuff to people.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's been said a lot in clubhouses, what's up,
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: why can't you play? And I've seen a lot of arguments,
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: and I don't want to say fights, but there's been
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: some arguments between guys about whether they could play or not.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: But it makes a player better too, because sometimes sometimes
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: if you're called out and it's not true, like then
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: guys are like, oh, well, I didn't see it like that.
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: I saw a dude get called out for not running
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: after a ball that landed on the warning track centerfield
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: got called out like, oh, I guess you're not trying.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: I guess you're not trying today. Next play.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Next time a ball got hit to him and right
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: center he freaking smashed into the fence knocked himself out
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: and the pitcher was like, dude, I didn't realize that
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: you played that hard. But it was like one of
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: those things, like you call dudes out and sometimes you
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: have fights, that's okay calling them out in the media.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: I don't know, man, Like it's not like everybody thinks
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Corbyn Carroll said these things.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: It could have been some.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Reliever that this that this radio guy was talking to
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: or that a reporter was talking to and they were
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: pissed about it because they kept talking about it in
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: the bullpen all day.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I just the part for me is I think this
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: is like healthy, right, you talk this stuff out. The
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: part where I draw my line is, let's not act
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: like the media communicating stuff from players is their fault.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Don't don't do it all us against media thing. You know,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: if you're a player, like I'd love to talk to
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: Perdomo more about it because he's like, you know, the
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: media has to stop or whatever he said.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I'm like, the media stop. Your teammates have to stop.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Your teammates are telling stuff to the media, clearly, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: it's not even one media member, it's multiple media members.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: So you know, good, good story. You know.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I'm not really like taking a side here because we
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: all aren't right, we don't know enough about it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know enough about it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm just taking a side on that. If
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: you have a problem your teammates are talking to the media,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: why don't you have a team meeting about it or
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: take them out to dinner.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: No, Like, hey, dude, need you to show up up here.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: You've missed big dinner.
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: Guys before. I've had to have dinners with guys before. Yep,
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: you know, hey, or breakfast or lunch or whatever it is. Hey,
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: we need to figure some out and I'll how you
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: handle it. You don't go to the musically works out well.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Too, mm hmm. Snake's territory.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Talking about this, of course, if you want more on it,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: two media members.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to hear what they have to say about it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Excited to tune in.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Make sure you check it out podcast or YouTube wherever
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: you get your pods, the whole deal. Aaron Boone, talking
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: today on w Fan said, I don't think we're going
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: to see Aaron Judge back to throwing like he normally
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: does at any point this year. We're trying to get
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: through where he can let it go with ease and
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: be able to protect himself. Talking about when we can
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: see Judge playing in the field again, not great hurts
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: flexibility with the lineup.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, listen. Aaron Boone told us this on
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: Saturday when we had him in his office. He said,
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: we're hoping that he's back sooner rather than later. In
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: the outfield, he's not going to throw, be able to
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: throw full speed, like he had been. But he makes
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: us a better team when he's out there running balls
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: down and playing a right field. Yes, and it does
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: hurt their flexibility if he has to dh, because then
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: they have judge in the or standing in the outfield.
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: Stan played three games in a row and then he
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: took three days off against Sat.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Louis.
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: Didn't hurt him because Saint Louis isn't very good, but
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: it does hurt their flexibility then they have to At
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: one point they had Ben Rice playing first. Ben Rice,
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: by the way, and you met every game seven RBIs
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: every time I do a Yankee game.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: So just saying, yeah, big games.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Twice I've done two Yankee games. He's gone ten seven
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: RBIs in both of them.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: No way, both, Yes, Wow, in.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Saint Louis seven seven bis.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: That's a good stat.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I like the I'm like the Adam of Mean to
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: South freelockquotes.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: That's another good luck potion guy oh Man. Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Anyway, No, no judge full strength defensively at any point
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: this year with the arm at least, but you'd like
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: to at least see him get out there and track
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: down flyballs versus John Carlo stand. Yeah, I mean for me,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: you're risking it with John Carlo. Every time he's out
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: there in the outfield, I'm like.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: This could be the end of the season for him,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: This could be it, This could be it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: You are really playing with fire, and the Mets are
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: gonna be without starting catcher Francisco Albarez.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: We spoke to Carlos Mendoza yesterday.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: He was waiting for news and now we know he's
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: placed on the injured list a right thumb injury.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I know he hasn't been this star bat yet, but
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it's a big loss.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: It is a big loss defensively and managing their pitchers
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: by the true classic. Hey hey fits me perfect?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I almost put that on today.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: If it's perfect, look at this, I mean, the mic
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: is gonna messing up another night. If it's nice, Look
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: at this, it's.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: Perfectly I'm gonna wear that same shirt and a different
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: size tomorrow, obviously smaller, because you know, I love my media.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: But this is a big dealcrats talk to We talked
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: to Mendy yesterday.
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: He talked about what he means to the team, especially
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: handing the pitch, handling the pitching stuff. This is a
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: bigger loss and people think offensively. He was actually doing
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: better offensively too since he came back. So this is
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: a bigger loss of people say, but they're still not
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: catching the Phillies.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: No, and I don't think they want.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, obviously they would love to catch the Phillies.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: They want to They want to just write their own ship.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: They want to make sure that they don't limp into
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. They want to get hot like they did
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: last year. And they're gonna have to do it right
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: now with Luis Drenz. And he came out of the
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: he came out of the gates firing, and everyone's like, Oh,
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: he should be the guy. He should be the guy.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: He's kind of offensively regressed a little bit, but he's
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: he's held his own defensively. I really like what he
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: brings behind a dish on a night in a night
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: out basis, and they're gonna have to ask more from him.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: That's just it's a tough thing to lose your starting
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: catcher when your pitching staff is already struggling, so the
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: pitchers need to pick it up.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Reds are one game back, looking pretty good.
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: Do you want to have confidence when you go out
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: in public?
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: Absolutely?
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: We can't all wear a backwards hat like me, but
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: you can get some True Classic fit shirts. It almost
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: looks like, oh wow, the shirt was tailored for me. Nope,
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: it's every True Classic. This john is soft, it is smooth,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: and it makes you look a little jacked.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying, and Krats, you are jacked and you
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: are spot on. True Classic is the spot to go
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: if someone's like, where do I get shirts? True Classic.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: The colors are fantastic. They've sold over twenty five million
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: shirts to more than five million customers. Their shirts just win.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: The feel, the tailored look, the price. We all wear
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: True Classic on FT. I mean, cam mabn literally can't
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: say enough about them too. Next time we have Camon
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: hit up True Classic dot com slash foul, give it
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: a shot, upgrade your wardrobe and save on True Classic
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: at True Classic dot com slash foul. That's True Classic
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: dot com slash fo u l.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, Dodgers sweep the Padres over the weekend. Dodgers lose
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: to the Rockies via walk off. Last night to ask her,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Hernandez made a couple mistakes in right fields. We're gonna
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: look at at least one of them here. And you
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: know who used to play right field for the Dodgers.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: He was really good out there.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Kirk Gibson later, that's a great job.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: And oh and I'm loving all of this.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: James Loney Moviie Bets met privately with David Roberts and
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Andrew Friedman. Well, he likes shortstop, he enjoys the challenge.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: But the six time gold Glove winner in right fields
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: had a little combo. We don't know all the detail else,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Dave Roberts said of Tiascar Hernandez, He's got to get
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: better out there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: There's just no other way to put it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: It's not a lack of effort, but you know, we've
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: just kind of got to get better.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: We do.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And he said we should have won that game. That's
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: a hard one because remember, you can sweep the Padres great,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: still gotta take him down in the division. I mean,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: you can sweep him next weekend too, But you gotta
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: sweep the Rockies, or you should.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: You gotta win a series against them.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: The Rockies are gonna finally not being the.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Lost records, so they've won four in a row, six
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: to seven.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: I watched too much of that one yesterday, but it
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: was good anyway. Mookie like shortstop. Half the Dodgers fans
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: that went after us when we brought this up a
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: week and a half.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Ago said, well, it's not it's not about the position.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: He wants to be a shortstop. I don't give a crap.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: What does the team need? What does the team need
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: right now? It might be Mooki in the outfield. Let's
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: set up the outfield. What do you got for us?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Mooki in right eight pyes, pa Heesen, center, Askar and
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: left tay Oscar and left fl Florida to the moon
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: as Dodgers.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Florida has not.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Worked out as a Dodger. Now he's sitting one ninety.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: I mean he's got a negative war. We know how
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: much you guys love war. His ops is six twenty six.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Ops plus is seventy six.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Are they not a better team with Mookie and rightfield?
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Who plays short Freeman or Freeman or Rojas? Sure, okay,
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: I think they are. But Nuki wants to play short.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: He will hit better in right field.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: I also agree with that. Yes, less action, less stuff
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: to be involved with. I think there's a loss something
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: to that more comfort or comfort, and it automatically makes
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: her out feel better.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: It seems like a no brainer. It seemed like a
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: no brainer when he decided to go to short Southcratzy.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: But here we are, Yeah, I mean it was cool.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: If I if I'm Roberts, if I'm doctor Roberts, I'm
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: sitting here going it's all if if what we're hearing
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: is true, that Mookie's the one that wants to play short,
• 25:02
  Speaker 5: and that's kind of what's pushed him off a short
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: because he's like, Hey, you know what I want to
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: I want to challenge I would if I'm Dave Roberts,
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I tell him, dude, you did amazing. You went from
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: not playing short regularly in the big leagues to playing
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: a very admirable shortstop, maybe depending on what you look at,
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: even a little bit above average. Most of them is
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: a little below average. So to me, average shortstop in
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: the big leagues is an elite position. Our team is
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: better with you and right field. That's what they do.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: All these stats and algorithms and everything. You're trying to
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: build the best team you can possibly put out there
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: of nine guys, and I think he'll hit better. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: think Tayo may actually hit better if he's in a
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: position where he's more comfortable, and you're going to feel better,
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: which will help your pitchers, which will give your starters
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: more length. You're upgrading three positions by changing one guy's position.
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: To me, I think it's a no brainer. But it's it.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: There's a little bit of an ego hit too. But
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: I know I know for a fact Mookie Betts wants
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: to win, and if Roberts can get that in there,
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: then it's best for the team.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: If they're having a meeting, we know what it's about.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: You know, there's nothing else they're meeting about this, so
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: anyway to be continued. If you're a Dodgers fan, you
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: should just want what's best for the team, not that
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: you're trying to prove a point and half of them
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: want him.
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, shortstop, he's just a really really, really really good
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: right field.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, I think that will happen, just like it did
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: last year. By the way, Dave Roberts interview yesterday Dodgers
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Territory worth a listen. Some Padres fans in the chat
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: are like, you're gonna bring up the fan interference. Team
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: lost by a run they took away Exandrew Bogartomer, what
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: did you think on that one?
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I thought we were doing a whole segment on that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think we have time.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: It's that or Tommy fam Oh either one.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Because the last couple of nights Cruk has been on fire.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: I didn't think this was interference because I thought it
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: was a home run, and I didn't think the guy
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: reached over the fence to catch it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I thought he was more behind. Maybe he did. I
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: It doesn't have to touch the fan, apparently, even if
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: the fan didn't, right, Yeah, the fan could be inhabiting
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: you with his arm.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: I mean dis missed it.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Like do they think that Kratz the arm is in
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: front of the eye, so it caused him to miss
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: the patch.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, that that was the only excuse we could come
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: up with.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: But also we don't get an explanation after the game
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: because we live in secrecy in our league.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: I would be not afraid of, especially in the playoffs,
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: having a camera down each fence line. I know in
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: Yankee Stadium they have it, just because of how it's configured,
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: but have it have it down each each fence line,
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: you can tell if the ball was gonna go out
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: if his arm. To me, it looked like his hands
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: went where it would have blocked his vision even though
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: the ball I mean brutal catch attempt by the by
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: the fan, by the way to the ball. If it
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: hit anything, it like grazed off his forearm. But to me,
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: like I think it's interferenced, I do. But I also
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: think Ramos should have caught it because I don't think
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: it's a homer. I think it hits the I think
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: it hits just in play. I didn't think it was
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: going out either.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Instead it's an out. How much does that suck?
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was after hit after it hit Ramos his
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: glove right, because it went out after it hit his glove.
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: I don't know this is I think it's a good call.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: I think it's a good call. I thought that. I
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: thought the play at home, if.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: You didn't touch it, he catch the ball and you
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: never do. You see in football they do all those drills.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: When they if someone's arm and again it might but
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: their case is probably, hey can you catch it?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: If if someone's arm, I'll catch it most.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Of the time. Yeah, but you might not be able
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: to see it. Did anybody have Bollman next time? Next time.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: With the fens arm in your way?
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Hey, Jason MACKI does a great job covering the Pirates
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: for the Post Gazette. He caught up with Andrew McCutchen
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: before yesterday's game, and he says he's not talking about
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: anything future focused with the Pirates. As for his own situation,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: he says he does want to play in twenty twenty six. Yes,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: if that would be Pittsburgh. Cutch responded, I want to win,
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: that's all. I have to do what I need to do.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Cutch clarified later on Twitter, saying, don't take that quote
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: out of context. I have to do what I need
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: to do too, meaning he needs to be able to
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: produce offensively as well. Do you think that Cuts should
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: finish his career with the team, Yes, but but he
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: also said he wants to win.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: They should do They should try to win. Then, kay,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: you should.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: I think that, But that's my opinion, and Cutch gets
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: to do what he has to do, as he said.
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: But I don't think he should ever play for another team.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: I don't think he should have ever left to go
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: play for another team. I think they should have kept
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: him the whole time, and I think he should finish
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: with the Pirates as long as he wants to play.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: They're not They're not gonna compete. At least keep him run.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: But if you're Andrew McCutchen Kratz and you want to
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: try to win a ring, which is what most players
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: want to do, what are your chances in Pittsburgh over
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: the next couple of seasons?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, could they be higher than zero?
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: They could be higher. You have an elite starting pitcher.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: Look at what the Tigers have done with Trek Skoobel
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: as their elite starting pitcher. They've built around him, they
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: have young, a young core of position players. Like it's possible.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: Is it gonna happen with the same owner? No, should
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: Cutch go somewhere else?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: I really want him to have a ring. I want
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: him to be a part of a team that has
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: a ring. And I agree with AJ. He should have
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: never left ownership. Should have made that stake and said,
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: you know what, if it's gonna take two hundred and
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: fifty million dollars over fifteen years, that's what we're gonna do.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: We're gonna keep Andrew McCutchen here because he he means
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: that much to that city, crossing generations of fans, because
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: now there's dads who have kids that are becoming pirates,
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: fans that Andrew McCutchen was their favorite player. And Andrew
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: McCutchen can still be a current young fans favorite player
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: just by how he plays. He's charismatic, like he's.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but my thing is okay.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: He's already played for other teams, so it's not like
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: he's going to just be with one team.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: He's still yeah. I agree, I'm with you. I think
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: if he wants to win.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: He's got to perform.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Like you said, right, he's about a league average bat
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: right now this season. You know, okay, Krats, I opened
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: up Arena Club, put my own money in there, and
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: I wasn't gonna go big.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I know. We went over the Ruby pack a week ago.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: This time, I just went for the low level pack
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: where it's an easy entry point twenty five bucks. You
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: can get yourself a big Boy card. The Grail has
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: many good options. I slice open the pack. We're looking
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: at it. If you're watching us right now and I
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: pull a card from the nineteen fifties, super cool. I
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: enjoyed the experience looking at it. It's Jim Gilliam, it's
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: the top set from the mid fifties.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: It's cool. It's a Brooklyn Dodger. But it's worth more
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: than the card. Like I said, I'm gonna sell it back.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I got twenty eight bucks instantly, so I can buy
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: another one of those packs and try.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: And get what I want.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, the excitement I heard Kip say before. The excitement's
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: in the chase. You sold it back. Now you get
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: to open another one. I enjoy when you slide it
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: across the screen there and the pack opens.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: You know where to go.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Arenaclub dot com slash foul twenty percent off your first
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: slab packer card purchase, Get after.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: It Hot Corner.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Tommy Sam at the dish, Oh batflip, nice and tidy
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: on his way to first, but he turns around and
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: had some words for Tyler Hyeman. Blue Jay's catcher bench
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: is clear. FAM heads the first FAM at first, still
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Jong with Heineman postgame quotes for everything. There's a lot okay, Tyler,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: Heineman said, Fam didn't say a word to me. I
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: didn't say a word to him. He just looked like
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: he wanted to have a fight. I asked the umpires
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: on the two zero pitch, you got that just off
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: or the umpire? I was pretty close right there. He
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: looked at me and didn't say a word. Then Fam
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: bat flipped and looked straight at me. I just put
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: up my arms. He walked towards me. I don't really know.
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Hineman said it was weird. It was unprovoked and super weird.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: He also mentioned that he barely knew who Fam was,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: and he said I wouldn't have said anything. I really
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: didn't like how he flipped the bat on a four
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: pitch walk a little weird, and he looked right back
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: at me. The video can probably tell you everything, but
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: you're probably just as confused.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: As I am.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: Tommy Fam replied and said about a ball not being
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: called a strike to the umpire when it's clearly below
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: the zone and away is disrespectful not only to the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: umpire but the hitter as well. So, like I said,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: when I flipped the bat.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Bleep him. Dude, just two years in the show, I
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: know the zone.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: So he felt offended that they were checking the zone
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: on Tommy Fam who that's pretty good play discipline in
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: his career.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: The best part of this designament goes, I don't know
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: who Tommy is.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Wait, there's another layer though, but there's a deleted sweet Tommy.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: But this is where it carries into the rest of
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: the series. There's Blue Jays fans going after Tommy on
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: Twitter and one goes, you're thirty seven acting like this
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: on a non playoff Pirates team. Just retire and start
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: a family already, Tommy tough knuckles. Now, bat fan would
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: not say that to Tommy's face. He is a big
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: strong man. Tommy replied, your profile pick is of someone
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: who takes steroids loser. The profile pick is Addison Barger.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: There are no stories or reports about anything to do
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: with that. In this young man's career. He's having a
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: breakout season. Tommy deleted that tweet, but damage don here.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: We got.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Welcome to the WWE. Tommy fam is everyone's favorite WWE character.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: He might have to be a little careful with what
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: he's thrown out their allegation wise, but he is entertaining
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: for a Pirate's Blue Jays game in mid August.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Pirates have been out of it since April.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I love Tommy, but he can he can go.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: He can go, Yes, WWE style on people. We've seen
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: him before. But yeah, Tommy, Tommy's Tommy, and Tommy can
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: lose his temper sometimes.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: But I wouldn't mess with Tommy.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: He might not know who he is, but after he
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: slaps you're, like it did Jock Peterson, you'll know.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Who he is.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: He can throw a punch too. He works out combat
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: style in the off season. What do you think about
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: this next part though? The Crats? This is where the
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: story really erupts. Is I mean you shouldn't throw another
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: player's name out there like that?
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: No?
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Like I mean he deleted it. So maybe I was
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: trying to look at the picture of Barger to figure
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: out who he thought the who he thought the picture
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: was of, or if he knows something that we don't
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: know how he would know that. I don't know, but
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know. You said, you said the Pirates have
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: been out of it since May. That is one thing
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: we talked earlier in the show about Cotell Marte. Tommy
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: FAM's never out of it. There is never a game
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: that Tommy fam Is taking off. There's never a pitch
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I think that's why he's able to play at age
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: thirty seven. The way he's able to play, I think
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: he can add to a team. I'm surprised he didn't
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: get traded, even if it was for peanuts. Like this
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: dude is a winner and he puts everything he has
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: into it.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: Is he touching fail?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Hold on?
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: There's a correction.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: Suspended in twenty nineteen in the minor leagues for peds.
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: He was placed on the restricted list.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Well, is that ped.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Therapeutic use exemption is way different?
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: But he was on the restricted list for the twenty
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: nineteen for the second half, so I don't know if
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: he got confused, but he's played. He did do a
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: screenshot of him being put on the restricted list, so.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: The screenshot from a twenty nineteen TSN article from twenty
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: twenty three that reported bardarra at a PED suspension on twenty.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Nine, Tommy wasn't wrong.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: So Tommy did easy, easy, Easy easy.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: With the steroids part. If it's a tue adderall, no
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: could be different.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: Huh hold up? Are you allowed to take adderall? Are
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: you allowed to take outall.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Steroids? Is different than adderall?
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Are you?
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: Are you not not only bullshit. Sorry, performance enhancing drug. No,
• 38:06
  Speaker 6: it's not different. It is not different, tom I can't.
• 38:11
  Speaker 6: Tommy said steroids, well, according to what he what Scott said,
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: though the article said that didn't it.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: Restricted list and the miners does not inherently indicate a
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: drug suspension. There's no record of steroids suspension. Again, I'm
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: like chat gpting this on the fly here, so a
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: chat gypt says no, he has not been suspended for steroids.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: The only rumor appears to be an off the cuff
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: insult from Tommy fam non official finding instance on the
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: restricted list. We're never clarified and are not unusual for
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: a developing minor leaguer.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: If you're curious about what restricted lists. Yeah, blah blah blah. Anyways,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I guess to be continued, there's reporters out there that
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: will handle this if need be. But that is apparently
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: when Tommy is getting this. That's why he's throwing the
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: screenshot out there. You guys, I mean when a restricted
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: list can mean a million different things, I thought, if
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: you but we get those Friday news dump emails from
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: MLB when a player gets hit with the PD suspension
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: and even if you're a minor leaguer.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: That's a thing. So I would think that if there
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: was a problem, we would have known about it. That's
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: usually public.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: I don't know. So it's just this whole thing is
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: kind of funny.
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: And by the way, the people in the chat saying,
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: there's a guy in the chat saying, I hope I
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: get sued for slander.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Steroids is not equal adderall, adderall.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: It doesn't finance your performance, it I mean, I don't
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: know it enhances your It's like a greenie.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: You can't take a greenie.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: It's the same thing.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: It's illegalized pretty much greenie that players were taking.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: You can. You can take adderall if you have an exemption.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, but if you don't have an exemption,
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: I can't take it. I didn't have an exemption.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a different topics to get it. Wait, but
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: hold up, let's let's fast forward to here for a second.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Does Tommy fam have to potentially aologize You can't throw
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: a player under the bus.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: If that's that's true, you're gonna make him apologize.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not doing anything.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: But does the team have a conversation like the pr
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: with the team, or he just does his own thing.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, Barker might just say nothing. I don't know him,
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: we haven't had him on the show. But if i'm him,
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, don't throw that out at me. Restricted
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: list could be like you're dealing with a family thing
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: and you're out for a few days.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Again, I don't talk.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Me or Tommy anybody. Yeah, you don't know, don't talk
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: on WHOA.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: This took a turn anyway. Tommy's got to be careful
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: or not.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: But he is the WWE heels. He is entertaining, he
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: goes for it, and he is fired up. And this
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: series continues. I know, we got two minutes. Crattats as
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: quick as you can because I want to ask you
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: guys something with a minute to spare.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: Ring that freaking belly in the game.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Later, we didn't have time to do a whole segment
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: on this. But you know, Kyle Tucker struggling immensely in
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: the past month, even you know, in the past two months,
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: really a ton rolling over a ton of balls, blah
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: blah blah. Still in the season, he's got good numbers,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: really good numbers, right, and he does go through these ruts.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: This one's a little longer than usual. My question for
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: you guys, should Cubs fans be booing him for struggling
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: in a six month or six weeks period, and also
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: you want to keep him if you're Kyle Tucker still
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: a human being, Like, and I'm not against booing, but
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, like, don't you want him to re sign? Yes,
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: I'm change the complexion of the offense for the first
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: half of the season, and he still has like a
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: one forty oh ps plus, great defender, great base runner.
• 41:49
