<v Speaker 1>It is Monday, June eighth. I am your host, Craig Goldstein,

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>joined as usual by Patrick Dubuk and Jeffrey pattern Nostro.

4
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>How was the weekend for everybody?

5
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.560
<v Speaker 2>I spent a lot of time trying to remember which

6
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>Germany World Cup is the best lowth our math house,

7
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 2>much like Nucklebauman Love.

8
00:00:54.039 --> 00:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Sure, sure, this is the SETEA zero Ceroh sorry, I

9
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>think the most successful I'm actually playing. I've I've basically

10
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>given up on eighty two and oh yeah, I have

11
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>not given up.

12
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.599
<v Speaker 2>On I'm annoyed because now they're doing like they've gone

13
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:16.480
<v Speaker 2>too far where like if you do the do the rundown,

14
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>they do it minute by minute, just tell me the

15
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>score and who's scored. Well, you can switch it, thankful,

16
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I haven't figured out you can.

17
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>You can go to ultra fast or whatever or automatic.

18
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 1>You don't even have to go to match my match.

19
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>So it is. Yes, there are many.

20
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I like watching. I like watching it match by match,

21
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>but I don't like the running clock, like.

22
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Go well, I think it'll do the running clock, but

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>if you do it on.

24
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 2>The ball manager running clock, Yeah, Okay.

25
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 1>If you do it on Ultra, it's very fast. So

26
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 1>I did. I did.

27
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>I should say I did finally get the seventy and

28
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.959
<v Speaker 2>I got it without we didn't even go to penalties.

29
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 2>That's time whenever you match straight out. Yeah, I'm very

30
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 2>proud of having Eric Winalda in my front line too,

31
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:55.519
<v Speaker 2>because I had to pick somebody from the ninety four.

32
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 1>I still I still haven't gotten it from memory because

33
00:01:57.959 --> 00:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>frankly I'm not.

34
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>They've added They've added more crops now, they've added more

35
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>cups now where.

36
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Every single time I get nineteen fifty I'm screwed.

37
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, They're like, there's a lot of Algerian teams.

38
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Yep, yep. But I got to tell you this also,

39
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>like even when I've done the normal, like not from memory,

40
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm losing a nineteen fifty two Scotland in the in

41
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.879
<v Speaker 1>the quarters or the round of sixteen or whatever, like constantly,

42
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't what is going on. When nineteen two I

43
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>had to ask Bowman, I was like, was nineteen fifty

44
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>two Scotland good? And he was like, no, Like they're

45
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 1>never good.

46
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I think they've just had to add some They've added

47
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:35.719
<v Speaker 2>some teams where there's like not many good players to

48
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.520
<v Speaker 2>make it harder, but also just to get teams you

49
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>can beat in the group stage, right, like they needed enough.

50
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:44.159
<v Speaker 1>It is absolutely killing me on from memory though, because

51
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't I'm building out my memory by playing it

52
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>the regular way and.

53
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Left back.

54
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's right, and like, okay, that's a name

55
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I remember that was decent, Like I now have that

56
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 1>logged in my bank. Yeah, that's basically.

57
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I was playing three four to three for a while,

58
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>but I enjoy having a palom modinia left back too much,

59
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>so I've gone back to four three three.

60
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing. Uh is it is it? Four three

61
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>two one four two three one four.

62
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Two three one?

63
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, I like that. That's why I like playing

64
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>in FIFA.

65
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure. I like having multiple striker options though, just so

66
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I can you know, there's too many good strikers I do,

67
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.319
<v Speaker 2>like I saw you showed me one of yours from

68
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>last night, and uh they've added the sixty six Portugal

69
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>team with Usabio. Yes, and Usabio being a ninety five

70
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 2>is a joke, like he needs to be a ninety

71
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>nine like he was. I know they didn't I know

72
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 2>they lost in the semis, but like, come on, man,

73
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I messed World Cup performances of all time.

74
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned I was messaging with Dowmon. It was also

75
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Shocker Salmon, former VP editor, and he was also talking

76
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 1>about some of the various ratings in there, like and

77
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.240
<v Speaker 1>they've they did like buff some of them when they

78
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>added sure teams. They've they've made some changes.

79
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I think one up from at some point.

80
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:01.639
<v Speaker 2>I think a couple of points too.

81
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know. Uh why am I the German goalie

82
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>con Well Oliver? It depends on which which was like

83
00:04:10.199 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>like like not he was like a ninety five instead

84
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 1>of something and.

85
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, soccer was like this is nuts.

86
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, no, I I'm I'm I still really enjoy it. It

87
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>is fun, A good balance. Eleven guys is like the

88
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:26.519
<v Speaker 1>max you should have to pick.

89
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, soccer, I just don't. I don't care for it.

90
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

91
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 2>I did realize, Okay, I did realize that I I

92
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.120
<v Speaker 2>am going to a concert during the first World Cup

93
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 2>game on Friday, which was poor not great planning on

94
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>my part. But that's why it's US Paraguay. Like I'll live.

95
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>There's me a lot of soccer over the next month.

96
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>So that sure is Patrick.

97
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like a it's like a second Olympics after

98
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 3>the Olympics that I have to like.

99
00:04:58.079 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>It's fine.

100
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 3>I will accept this. It's a socond provice on my part,

101
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 3>and I hope you guys appreciate it. Like you guys,

102
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.720
<v Speaker 3>like everyone everyone listening, I'm suffering right now just a

103
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.959
<v Speaker 3>little bit. Yeah, uh and for your joy, you know,

104
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 3>I accept that this is.

105
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 2>My second world cop out obviously in the winner. So

106
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I gotta figure out. I watched, I watched. I just

107
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 2>watched much of the games at home. I will try

108
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.720
<v Speaker 2>to get out. I think one of the good breweries

109
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:24.399
<v Speaker 2>that I like is showing most of the games, so

110
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll try to pop out for some games. But again,

111
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>I have a five year old, and they're like, because

112
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 2>it is in you know, the us Cana in Mexico,

113
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>they're all like what you would consider normal sports watching times,

114
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>which are terrible for me. Yeah, I mean like the

115
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.519
<v Speaker 2>eleven AM games. I will say part.

116
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I got my now six year old, Yeah, not much

117
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 1>different from your five year old. Very much into Argentina.

118
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 1>I like Shell.

119
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 2>She'll she likes soccer in the abstract, but will not

120
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.079
<v Speaker 2>actually sit down and watch soccer with me.

121
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>He enjoyed it. He got into the World Cup, and

122
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.319
<v Speaker 1>so I'm hoping he gets into it again. We'll see

123
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.439
<v Speaker 1>about We'll see about the three year old though. That's

124
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be I see. I will say, speaking of

125
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>of having the games, like having the games on I

126
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>this weekend, I took an annual trip to outback steakhouse

127
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>that I do with my wife and a friend. I'm

128
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a huge app back then. Yeah, uh it was fantastic.

129
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.360
<v Speaker 1>But I walk in and the there was a wait.

130
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Was was great to see for me. I just I

131
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>love seeing that. I love I love seeing an outback.

132
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Equity can't ruin everything.

133
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 1>And uh so we waited at the at the bar.

134
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Two baseball games on. When we walk in. Baseball is

135
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>doing great, folks. It was wonderful to see. Now, don't

136
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.439
<v Speaker 1>think further about the fact that there was absolutely nothing

137
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>else that could possibly be on.

138
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, there's a there was the I got it.

139

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm mmm, Patrick, anything for your weekend?

154
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, that I was very very pure intensive weekend.

155
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 3>I got a lot of things, a lot of pruning

156
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.680
<v Speaker 3>this weekend. But I didn't stop at a garage sale

157
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 3>on the way to a thing for my kid, and

158
00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.120
<v Speaker 3>I got a baseball and uh, there this guy was

159
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 3>selling two baseball He was.

160
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Not what is it a yellow baseball?

161
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:59.759
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not a yellow baseball. It was yellow wing.

162
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.040
<v Speaker 3>But this guy in two baseballs and he clearly did

163
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.879
<v Speaker 3>not know anything about baseball. He did not care about

164
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 3>it baseball. He was selling them for someone else. They

165
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:11.720
<v Speaker 3>were autographed. The first one was Brett Boone and I

166
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 3>was like, I'll pass. And then the second one just

167
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.160
<v Speaker 3>had a bunch of like it was it's much more

168
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.399
<v Speaker 3>weathered and fading and in bad shape. So I was like,

169
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.720
<v Speaker 3>can you take five bucks for it? Because this was

170
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 3>day two his garagelle, and he said, fine. The signatures

171
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 3>on it are a delight. I've decoded most of them,

172
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:30.160
<v Speaker 3>but I have a couple left.

173
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask like, what do you do with this ball?

174
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Because crag yeah, I have I have a case. I

175
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.200
<v Speaker 3>have a small glass case that fits nine baseballs, which

176
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 3>now I get to replace a baseball that isn't as

177
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.159
<v Speaker 3>good right as this one?

178
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, right? So what do you do with that ball?

179
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.360
<v Speaker 3>That ball of the ninth ball that now the tenth ball?

180
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I don't know.

181
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I might don't know what happened to your people that

182
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.000
<v Speaker 2>you drop from the MySpace top six, right.

183
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly? They just they just disappear. You never think

184
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 3>about them again.

185
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Might not shot you. I was never on my oh man.

186
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 3>So so the signatures on this baseball are kind of

187
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 3>perfect for me. It's a very lookout landing mid twenty

188
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>tens coded baseball. You've got let's see, let's see. You've

189
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 3>got Julio Cruz, you got Dave Valley, you got Stephan Romero,

190
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.919
<v Speaker 3>you got Mike Zanino.

191
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 1>Stephan Romero. Yeah, that really brings me back.

192
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.240
<v Speaker 3>You've got Dan Wilson whose signature is fading very very badly,

193
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 3>like back in the future. Only only one, the only

194
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 3>one that is baited out. All the other ones are

195
00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 3>perfectly fine. He just used a bad pen. Logan Morrison,

196
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah.

197
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 2>I forgot Logan Morrison was a he was bad with

198
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>the Mariners. It was he was bad with the Mariners.

199
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Then had like the one bounce back with the Marlins,

200
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:52.720
<v Speaker 2>and with the Marlins like first he.

201
00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 3>Was okay like most Mariners of the year. He was

202
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 3>okay for one year, and then they brought him back.

203
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:57.639
<v Speaker 2>And he was bad.

204
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Jack's forensic got an actual Jackson. You can't see

205
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 3>in the light. So there are two signatures left that

206
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I have not to go to the other one Bradon

207
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Miller of course, of course. So I've got two signatures

208
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 3>on here. I will see if.

209
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>It's one of them. Nick Franklin, great question.

210
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>That is the era we're talking.

211
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 3>No, I checked, Nick Franklin. I've checked all of them.

212
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:23.279
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, we're thinking maybe it might be Blake Bevan.

213
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh, you're one of my one of the first annual comments.

214
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember tracing directly to you.

215
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yeah, well the first one I ever wrote, the

216
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 3>very first annual comment I ever.

217
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.639
<v Speaker 1>Wrote, that would be very Yeah.

218
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm hoping like there were certainly a few names on

219
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 3>there I was kind of hoping for and like getting

220
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 3>kind of disappointed they were on there.

221
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.919
<v Speaker 2>Tom will Will hel Munson, No.

222
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Tom Wihompson No, justin smoke my wife affectionately nicknamed Jowels. Yeah,

223
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 3>but you know, Blake Bevan be great. I don't think

224
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:57.840
<v Speaker 3>this is Blake Bevan.

225
00:10:58.159 --> 00:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

226
00:10:58.639 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 3>I think people are.

227
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Say I'd ask if one of them is Wade Miley,

228
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.440
<v Speaker 2>but I assume you can just identify his signature immediately.

229
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, I don't know. We'll have to find out,

230
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 3>but we'll see. We'll see what people think. It'll be

231
00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 3>exciting to find out there. We're finding out in real time.

232
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>Someone saying the middle one is James Paxton. I don't

233
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 3>think that's true. I think that we're gonna check the

234
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 3>James Paxton autograph resource and oh it might be James Paxton.

235
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:30.279
<v Speaker 1>N Actually, oh, well, rather be.

236
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 3>James Paxton or Brad Miller. I mean, James Paxton's.

237
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Definitely James Paxton, but he's almost too good for Patrick.

238
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 3>He's almost, yeah, he's almost.

239
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.440
<v Speaker 2>It needs to be like Patrick would be happier if

240
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:42.279
<v Speaker 2>it was Andrew Moore.

241
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.360
<v Speaker 3>Actually, I would be very much Andrew Moore. And uh,

242
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:49.919
<v Speaker 3>let's see every single catcher.

243
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, Clement, Clement. What was his first name, Clement, Jeff.

244
00:11:55.559 --> 00:12:00.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Yeah, sadly Jeff Clement did not make it in

245
00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.440
<v Speaker 3>his career until twenty fourteen. Yeah, yeah, that'll be exciting anyway.

246
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 3>That's mine, that's my manager.

247
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to the first stegment of the show.

248
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you know how the West was won? We are

249
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 1>looking at the Al West. We look at it too much,

250
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 1>like to be looking at the Al West.

251
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:23.919
<v Speaker 2>It's like fascinating in a completely scientific and detached way.

252
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 1>But you're saying it's it's I think, yeah, I get

253
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:30.320
<v Speaker 1>what you're saying. It's a little like a car crash, right,

254
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:33.159
<v Speaker 1>like you're looking at it, but but also like I

255
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't want to be looking at it.

256
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at it like it's also a speaking of

257
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>car crashes, kind of like a Cronenberg film.

258
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we have one team over five hundred. Yes, it

259
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:49.919
<v Speaker 1>is Patrick's Seattle Mariners.

260
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 3>Well by the time we record this, it'll be a

261
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:54.120
<v Speaker 3>day later and they'll figure it out a way to

262
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 3>lose two games.

263
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>They have a lot sweat three or four.

264
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, yes, they've lost the car seven and three in

265
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>their last ten because they won seven in a row, right.

266
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then yeah they got mcgonagalld. I was watching

267
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:11.039
<v Speaker 3>this on game day on my phone.

268
00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Why you don't have to watch anything involving in Kevin mcgonigald.

269
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>We will get a chat.

270
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 2>The thing is it was four one going into the ninth, right, yes,

271
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 2>it was, so it was. It was not a good.

272
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.679
<v Speaker 3>But uh yeah, so like you know, watching on the

273
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 3>time delayed.

274
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Dots, Yeah, and just like and like at back keeps

275
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>getting worse where there's like it won't update for two

276
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:37.840
<v Speaker 2>minutes and then like four pitches happen, yes, and then.

277
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes the score will update before the event happens.

278
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes. And it tries to do like the like the

279
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>little like Atari thirty two hundred, like top down view

280
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:51.440
<v Speaker 2>of where the ball is going and the runners are right.

281
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:54.480
<v Speaker 3>I think that's what's slowing everything down. Yeah, yeah, so

282
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 3>it's trying to it's trying to show all the fielders

283
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.720
<v Speaker 3>and I don't I don't care. I don't care this case.

284
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 3>In this case, the fielders did tell what happened, because

285
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:06.759
<v Speaker 3>before the event showed, all the dots started walking off

286
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 3>the field.

287
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, but it was Kevin McGonagall.

288
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 3>It's like, all right, well, I already knew that anyway, right,

289
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.840
<v Speaker 3>there was no way Kevin McGonagall was not going to

290
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.320
<v Speaker 3>walk that off. And he did.

291
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.639
<v Speaker 1>H Yeah, he specifically walked it off.

292
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:26.200
<v Speaker 3>Andres Munos, Yes, Andres Munos has had I'm gonna call

293
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.320
<v Speaker 3>it a trying.

294
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.720
<v Speaker 1>First few months of the season. Yeah, Patrick, this is

295
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.039
<v Speaker 1>where I was hoping you would step in.

296
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I don't know, man, Like the peripherals aren't terrible,

297
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 3>like he's he is giving up more home runs than

298
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.720
<v Speaker 3>usual in the sense that he is giving up like

299
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 3>five times as many home runs as last year, but

300
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.559
<v Speaker 3>twice as much as his usual rate. He is walking

301
00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:51.879
<v Speaker 3>about this.

302
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>He has given up four home runs this season, which

303
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 1>might not sound like a lot he give up to

304
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:57.559
<v Speaker 1>all of last year in.

305
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 2>Forty I mean for by June eight, for any relieve

306
00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:02.440
<v Speaker 2>or is not, No, it's.

307
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>Not, it's it's basically he he has never given up

308
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:08.399
<v Speaker 1>more than six in a season.

309
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:14.919
<v Speaker 3>So and like the walk in strikeout rates are thermal. Yep,

310
00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:17.120
<v Speaker 3>he is giving up twice as many hits as usual.

311
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 3>I think, you know, before you just call it luck,

312
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:22.279
<v Speaker 3>I think he's just like he has no command.

313
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>He has no.

314
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 3>Command right now, and so he's getting himself in the

315
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:26.600
<v Speaker 3>hitters counts constantly.

316
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:32.360
<v Speaker 2>And so he got McGonagall came up with whatever guy's

317
00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.080
<v Speaker 2>on the second and third and he threw I think

318
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:38.159
<v Speaker 2>was just a backup slider that wasn't close on the

319
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:39.679
<v Speaker 2>first patch, and then tried to come in with a

320
00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 2>fastball and like wa Keith thos hard and McGonagall was

321
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 2>just like, okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull this at

322
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:45.720
<v Speaker 2>the right field.

323
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

324
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 3>It was the you know, even on like on game damn,

325
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.120
<v Speaker 3>like all right, this is the pitch in the world

326
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.559
<v Speaker 3>ahead and just like it's it's been like that for him.

327
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 3>He is putting himself in these positions where he's constantly

328
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 3>putting him you know, he's working from behind, and you

329
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.720
<v Speaker 3>know it's a reliever. He's a reliever, and relievers just

330
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.039
<v Speaker 3>lose their touch. And when they lose their touch, they

331
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:07.679
<v Speaker 3>don't lose it for three stars. They lose it for

332
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 3>half a season. Because that's the same amount of time.

333
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.960
<v Speaker 3>And I don't I don't know. I don't think there's

334
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:16.320
<v Speaker 3>anything wrong with him. I also wouldn't blame him mariners

335
00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:18.120
<v Speaker 3>if they took him out of the closer role for

336
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:19.960
<v Speaker 3>a while, because he's also like the other problem with

337
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.480
<v Speaker 3>him is that he's getting killed with the platoons. But

338
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.919
<v Speaker 3>let's see what's his what is his split right now?

339
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.000
<v Speaker 3>He's giving him a nine to twelve PST to lefties.

340
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm looking at like his year over year numbers,

341
00:16:35.039 --> 00:16:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and like.

342
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>His his fastball is different, isn't it. I thought I

343
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 1>saw he was like cutting his fastball that well, let's see.

344
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.039
<v Speaker 3>I'd have to look that up. He doesn't have a

345
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:55.320
<v Speaker 3>traditional career left right split, so this year's is a

346
00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.080
<v Speaker 3>fun new wrinkle.

347
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.799
<v Speaker 1>So his four seam seen, I'm looking at just a

348
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:06.160
<v Speaker 1>year over year Brooks data. Yeah, and it's gone from

349
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:11.279
<v Speaker 1>like consistently minus six and a half to seven to

350
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 1>minus four point five. So it's a couple of inches

351
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 1>right of movement.

352
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's gone from like thirteen eleven to thirteen eight basically.

353
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 2>What I don't know, he's getting less arm side movement. Yes,

354
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 2>he's I wouldn't say he's cutting it, but he's getting

355
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>less arm side movement.

356
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.359
<v Speaker 1>Well relative to what it was I think was the idea.

357
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like, I mean I think the main like they're

358
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.680
<v Speaker 2>just hitting his slider a little bit more like it's

359
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>still running a fifty percent with rate, but you know,

360
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.440
<v Speaker 2>everything's up a little bit, like the twitter points of

361
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 2>slugging on the slider, one hundred points of slugging on

362
00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.079
<v Speaker 2>the force one who's having to give four home runs

363
00:17:54.039 --> 00:17:57.839
<v Speaker 2>this early in the season. You know he's always been

364
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:59.920
<v Speaker 2>he's been more of a flyball pitcher this year.

365
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I like.

366
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.039
<v Speaker 2>The other thing is like is Patrick's point, like everything

367
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.119
<v Speaker 2>else is fine, Like closers can just have two months

368
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>like this the Beauty of Believers.

369
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yes, it is two hundred points of selling

370
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:15.200
<v Speaker 1>on the slider all the way up to three seventy three.

371
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean it matters is how much he throws that

372
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.880
<v Speaker 2>slider right like that it does.

373
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 1>It does, but also the it's the fastball, right, I

374
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:25.119
<v Speaker 1>mean it is three sixty seven average and five sixty

375
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.119
<v Speaker 1>seven slot on the fastball.

376
00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:31.640
<v Speaker 2>In the command Like there's a lot of red in

377
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the zone and he throws very hard, but that's not

378
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.319
<v Speaker 2>a great fastball. Shape as we've already run over even

379
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.519
<v Speaker 2>from his angle and extension and again, but this is

380
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>just like, yeah, he said two months of giving up

381
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 2>a couple extra home runs, right, I mean, yeah, yesterday

382
00:18:46.599 --> 00:18:49.839
<v Speaker 2>was a full um blow up in a way that's

383
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.599
<v Speaker 2>not just like, okay, a bloop and a blast, But.

384
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I think the issue is it's not

385
00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.519
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not just a couple of extra home runs, right,

386
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 1>it's the extra home runs along with this other stuff. Right.

387
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Speaker 2>And he's the guy that does he like the trivirals

388
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.680
<v Speaker 2>are about the same, but he does walk guys like

389
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:10.519
<v Speaker 2>is the command Like he's going to be a guy

390
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 2>that walks four for nine, right, But he's going to

391
00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:16.000
<v Speaker 2>put traving on. But he's usually going to strike out

392
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>enough guys that's not going to matter, right.

393
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.119
<v Speaker 1>And if you're giving up, if you're gonna put guys

394
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on and then start giving up hits, and especially if

395
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:23.279
<v Speaker 1>those hits are home.

396
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:26.359
<v Speaker 2>Runs, like right, I would be I don't yeah, right.

397
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:32.759
<v Speaker 3>And the options right, like Edward Bizardo is still good.

398
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to say I'm like surprised by that,

399
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:40.160
<v Speaker 1>but they used him, so I'm not surprised. On a

400
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.720
<v Speaker 1>talent basis. I'm a surprised. I'm surprised. I'm like, just

401
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.079
<v Speaker 1>wear and tear that he's like come back as good

402
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:45.599
<v Speaker 1>as he has.

403
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.960
<v Speaker 3>Jose Ferre has been excellent. I wouldn't necessarily put him

404
00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:52.640
<v Speaker 3>in the closer role, but you could.

405
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Lefty, I mean left the specialist. He's very good.

406
00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 3>He's very good, but you know, also ground balls, you know.

407
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Right a Gabe Spire, Yeah.

408
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.640
<v Speaker 1>He's been too.

409
00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:09.079
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's yeah. I mean they they don't need like,

410
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:11.359
<v Speaker 3>they're not so desperate they need to ride him out

411
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 3>on this that they want. If they want to give.

412
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Him a break, they give him a blow for a

413
00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks too. I guess, like.

414
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Again, they don't want to, they want me.

415
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Dan Wilson wants to. I don't think

416
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:27.079
<v Speaker 3>Dan Wilson. I think Dan Wilson likes to have a

417
00:20:27.480 --> 00:20:30.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, make things a little using for himself in

418
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.200
<v Speaker 3>terms of like the owner of the bullpen, right, I

419
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 3>don't think he is at the point where he is

420
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.720
<v Speaker 3>able to juggle them as much as maybe maximizing when

421
00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:39.200
<v Speaker 3>called for.

422
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Right behind them, I do before before we move on,

423
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:46.599
<v Speaker 2>I because I had it open. I have a question

424
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.000
<v Speaker 2>for Patrick who made the most starts to the twenty

425
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:53.400
<v Speaker 2>seventeen Mariners twenty seventeen.

426
00:20:53.960 --> 00:21:03.039
<v Speaker 3>Uh, and so that's that's the era. When I stopped,

427
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.079
<v Speaker 3>I saw the name, like I have to ask you.

428
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:15.759
<v Speaker 3>That feels like a I mean, that's oh god, that's like,

429
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 3>is that one of the years that James Paxton is healthy?

430
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Like it is, but it's not James Paxton.

431
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh, okayo made healthy?

432
00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I should I mad? Like twenty five starts, that's.

433
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>That's no idea.

434
00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea.

435
00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, James Paxton's.

436
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 2>Season, Yeah, I have no idea. James Paxton made the

437
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:36.640
<v Speaker 2>second most starts. He made twenty four starts.

438
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:37.440
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

439
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:39.960
<v Speaker 2>The most starts on that team was Ario Miranda.

440
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.279
<v Speaker 3>And that's team was not terrible.

441
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad I was sitting down.

442
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.440
<v Speaker 2>There's seventy eight one team. Here. Here are the Ario

443
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Miranda twenty nine starts, James Paxton twenty four, Giovanni Gallardo

444
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:56.240
<v Speaker 2>twenty two. Do not remember the Yovanni era. It's not good.

445
00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:59.359
<v Speaker 2>Felix Hernandez sixteen.

446
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:01.119
<v Speaker 3>That was that was at the end.

447
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:08.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh. Sam Gavagilo made eleven. Nope, yep, and you remember

448
00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 2>this one, Craig eleven starts for Resmo Ramirez.

449
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.559
<v Speaker 3>Oh, absolutely, the fine eleven starts at that yea, yeah,

450
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.480
<v Speaker 3>sub for e r Although go down to go down

451
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:19.160
<v Speaker 3>the number seven.

452
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we have also Andrew Moore and Christian Bergman. Yeah,

453
00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:26.200
<v Speaker 2>got a lot of people made it starts Marco Gonzale.

454
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Seven starts Mike Leek. Five starts the sashi Ya Kuma

455
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.039
<v Speaker 2>six stars chased DeJong. I haven't seen his name in

456
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 2>a while.

457
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Four starts.

458
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.480
<v Speaker 3>All right, Dylan overs in one time.

459
00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:40.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm moving us on. Yeah, a second place in the division.

460
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 1>We will travel maybe, I guess in reverse.

461
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.200
<v Speaker 3>In some way shape from the Yovanni Guyardo career path.

462
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Another team he played for. Yeah, I do remember that,

463
00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:55.920
<v Speaker 1>the Texas Rangers. They're like under five hundred place in

464
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>this division. They are thirty two and thirty three. They

465
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>are also seven and three in their last ten. There's

466
00:23:04.039 --> 00:23:06.519
<v Speaker 1>getting more healthy, Jacob Duram, it's unfair.

467
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:13.440
<v Speaker 2>De gram is kind of having the Andrea's Moonio season

468
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>where he's giving up too many home runs, but he

469
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't walk anybody, so his areas in the low threes.

470
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 2>But really it's been the lineup, like every time we

471
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 2>do this segment, every time we talk about the Rangers,

472
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>which is not that often, but it's been a few

473
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.680
<v Speaker 2>times this year. I checked to see if Josh Young

474
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.599
<v Speaker 2>is so healthy and he still is. He's played sixty

475
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:36.440
<v Speaker 2>games year. Has he guil durand still been good? Future

476
00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.079
<v Speaker 2>All Star second baseman? Is he guild Duran? I?

477
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Well so, I mean Patriolla does this every year, right

478
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 1>as the voting becomes available and he updates it.

479
00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:48.559
<v Speaker 2>In all this, there's a lot of games to play

480
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.599
<v Speaker 2>until the All Star break.

481
00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.039
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not trying to shoot on Duran who has

482
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a one thirty five ops plus, but like the state

483
00:23:54.960 --> 00:24:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of second base in the American League is dire. Yeah, yeah,

484
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 1>because I think it is.

485
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 2>And you know what I say to that, Craig never wrong,

486
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:09.519
<v Speaker 2>just early.

487
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, he's having a great year, yea, he is.

488
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Essentially it feels like he has a mon star. Josh H.

489
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Smith is Josh Smith.

490
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 2>That's one of those two where like I don't think

491
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:26.319
<v Speaker 2>people realize how dog shit a park that is the

492
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>hidden It's yeah, like there he's at like an eights,

493
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Like he's been good, but that's like thirty five percent

494
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.000
<v Speaker 2>better than the gaverage because of the stadium he plays

495
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.319
<v Speaker 2>in his home game, right, but.

496
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:42.400
<v Speaker 3>We can can stop the Josh Smith, right, Josh, that's

497
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:43.680
<v Speaker 3>just what he is. No, I know it is.

498
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm not saying with you.

499
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:49.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying we all can just just Josh at this point. Yeah,

500
00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:53.200
<v Speaker 3>fair enough, he's Yeah, he'll probably like at this point,

501
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 3>does he played left?

502
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>He's been hurt. He's hurt, but so it's also awful.

503
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:01.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

504
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 1>That's the part of the monstring thing is it's not

505
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.759
<v Speaker 1>just that someone else's is like you, it's your shit

506
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work anymore.

507
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

508
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean Jack Peterson having.

509
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:20.319
<v Speaker 2>The having the Jack Peterson complimentary.

510
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 1>This park, you know, you look at two thirty eight,

511
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:24.400
<v Speaker 1>three forty seven, four thirty nine doesn't seem so great,

512
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:29.440
<v Speaker 1>but it is a rough park. Wyatt Langford just came

513
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.640
<v Speaker 1>back off the I l like you say, it's the lineup,

514
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.839
<v Speaker 1>but the lineup.

515
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:38.599
<v Speaker 2>Is I mean, it's got Josh Young and Zekio Duran carry,

516
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 2>which is not great but also the.

517
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Most still has decent seasonal numbers, but it's has been working.

518
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.000
<v Speaker 1>He got off a very strong start.

519
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like it's under four hundred now.

520
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

521
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>He's also banged up because he's always banged up this

522
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>time of year, and like the ground, the pitching hasn't

523
00:25:57.000 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 2>been like Kumar Rocker has been surprisingly their second best

524
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:05.839
<v Speaker 2>pitcher on like the basics by r process sure, like

525
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:09.839
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been great. Lighter hasn't had a really bad start

526
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:10.240
<v Speaker 2>to the year.

527
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's generally been fine Lighter and Gore.

528
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.119
<v Speaker 1>It's just that it's it's amazing that, like they they

529
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.240
<v Speaker 1>got Mackenzie Gore, and it's just you've collected a left

530
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 1>handed Jack Lighter. Yes, yeah, like I don't it's the

531
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.079
<v Speaker 1>process stuff is He's that's unfair.

532
00:26:28.400 --> 00:26:30.680
<v Speaker 2>He's better than Lighter, but like better than Lighter, But

533
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:33.000
<v Speaker 2>given what they traded for him, you would hope for

534
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 2>more better than a low four c R right at

535
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:41.599
<v Speaker 2>this Yeah, at this point, and I mean, like we

536
00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:44.039
<v Speaker 2>are to be clear, we are describing what is basically

537
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>a five hundred team. Yeah, as a five hundred I.

538
00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Feel like they've had a lot of injuries.

539
00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is.

540
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 3>Not a team where they've had everything go right to

541
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:56.799
<v Speaker 3>get to five hundred. They could have been more, they

542
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.079
<v Speaker 3>could be more. Yeah, but given the amount of like this,

543
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 3>this seems fine.

544
00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like again, like the I know, last time we

545
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:09.559
<v Speaker 2>did this fairly recently. I think during the Marriors win streak,

546
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>like they're just gonna run away with this division now,

547
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and they're kind of like they're still not again. It's

548
00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:15.440
<v Speaker 2>only been a couple.

549
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Of weeks now, but I think they will.

550
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I guess. No, I don't know, man, we're

551
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.880
<v Speaker 2>getting clothed. Like in some ways, the Rangers have the

552
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 2>easier roster fixes if they want to go on the

553
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 2>trade market. They also don't have much to trade, and

554
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 2>we know Jerry Depoto will be active because he just

555
00:27:40.200 --> 00:27:43.960
<v Speaker 2>has to be. It's intrinsic part of being Jerry to

556
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Poto is wants to trade start happening. He's gotta he's

557
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:49.000
<v Speaker 2>got to get involved.

558
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

559
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I mean I get like the Mariners are the

560
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.720
<v Speaker 2>better team, right if you look at their and they.

561
00:27:57.880 --> 00:28:02.720
<v Speaker 1>Have gotten yeah, twenty five innings of two point one nine.

562
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Lats chat from No from Quandrille.

563
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, no, Jacob Latts. I think it's not this good,

564
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's fine.

565
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.759
<v Speaker 2>The Jacob's, the Jake Janis and the Jake.

566
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Jenis and Jake Jake Latts combo is absolutely deadly.

567
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:23.759
<v Speaker 2>My two Jakes exactly.

568
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:25.519
<v Speaker 3>No.

569
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I I mean, I I just don't think. I don't

570
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.279
<v Speaker 1>think there's enough here, and I don't think there's enough

571
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:35.799
<v Speaker 1>to draw, like they've already gone to Justin Foscue. They've gone,

572
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:36.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I.

573
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Don't, I mean, they're yeah, they've been a little bit

574
00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 2>about leavadage of the lineup just because Evan Carter and

575
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Seeger have been so bad and you already mentioned Josh Smith.

576
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:51.079
<v Speaker 2>The catching situation, I guess Skushi Oak has been fine,

577
00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:56.759
<v Speaker 2>but like the catching situation isn't great either, And yeah

578
00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you're like that, like, yeah, the pen's been quite good

579
00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:04.119
<v Speaker 2>good frankly, yeah, yeah, but it's going to be allowed.

580
00:29:05.440 --> 00:29:08.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think I don't like who am I

581
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:14.279
<v Speaker 2>to doubt Jake Junis, I guess, but like I don't, look,

582
00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:16.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if Lats and Junis will do this,

583
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:19.240
<v Speaker 2>but like Tyler Alexander and Jalen Beaks are both fine

584
00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 2>and like they have guys.

585
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, I think the better argument for this

586
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>bullpen is that Chris Martin and Robert Garcia will be

587
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.039
<v Speaker 1>healthy at some point, I mean, I guess, and they're

588
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:31.319
<v Speaker 1>actually pretty decent.

589
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:33.720
<v Speaker 2>We keep saying the Mariners are going to eventually run

590
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 2>away with this division. But they every week they don't

591
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 2>kick it in the year, like it gives yeah, but

592
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.960
<v Speaker 2>a chance to yeah.

593
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 1>But who Yeah, I don't think we'll just even if

594
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:48.599
<v Speaker 1>they don't run away, like they're gonna slowly pull away

595
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.079
<v Speaker 1>even through their own incompetence.

596
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, i'd be mine to me. With the Rangers, I

597
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 3>think what it is is that you have a lot

598
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:01.480
<v Speaker 3>of players with one twenty five ops pluses, with one

599
00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:04.279
<v Speaker 3>oh five trc pluses, sure, and a lot of guys

600
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.559
<v Speaker 3>with like actually eighty five, Like DRC does not buy

601
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:11.400
<v Speaker 3>this offense at all, and like, to be fair, some

602
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.759
<v Speaker 3>of that is just the way that DRC feels about

603
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 3>the way that Texas hits, like Ezekiel Durant is never

604
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:23.359
<v Speaker 3>gonna be beloved because he's a high contact Yeah, variants

605
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:27.440
<v Speaker 3>guide but like yeah, you like they've gotten here with

606
00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 3>you know, a one twenty six ops from from Justin Boscue,

607
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:34.440
<v Speaker 3>Like they've got they've gotten this with the Josh Young

608
00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:36.559
<v Speaker 3>you know first.

609
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 1>Half, Like what what happens when he.

610
00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:41.799
<v Speaker 3>Heart Yeah, Evan Carter, you know, like well Evin Carter

611
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:46.039
<v Speaker 3>seven Carter, but John Peterson, you're getting a night Evan.

612
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:48.279
<v Speaker 1>Carter has an eighty two OPS plus and he's hitting

613
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:53.039
<v Speaker 1>one seventy two. Yeah yeah, like if he could hit

614
00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:54.920
<v Speaker 1>at all, he'd be very good.

615
00:30:54.960 --> 00:30:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Right yeah.

616
00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I to me, it feels like with the injuries there's

617
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:03.720
<v Speaker 3>more negative regression. He's got Corey Seeker who is still

618
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 3>hitting one eighty three himself, so you're gonna get some

619
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:10.640
<v Speaker 3>mouse back there. But uh, there's a lot of guys.

620
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.960
<v Speaker 3>It's crazy how many guys are hitting below two hundred

621
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:17.920
<v Speaker 3>and none of them are Jock Peters. Oh, which is weird.

622
00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean that again, The argument today is like

623
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Corey Seeker is not going to hit one eighty three

624
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:28.839
<v Speaker 1>for the whole season, right Like, if he's healthy, he should.

625
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>He's always been a incredible production when healthy guy, so

626
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.640
<v Speaker 1>you would generally assume that would. But it's not enough.

627
00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not enough. I don't see it. I don't know.

628
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to go to the A's. Sure the

629
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 1>A's can hit y. Pitching is another story.

630
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.279
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's funny they actually have a better YA plus.

631
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't the S plus, which I would not have guessed.

632
00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure a lot of that is the adjustment.

633
00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the one year park factor on b

634
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.000
<v Speaker 2>f is one twenty, so yeah, it's.

635
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Forty three run differential. I should note the Rangers are

636
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:11.400
<v Speaker 1>at plus fourteen, so they're they're doing okay.

637
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:17.559
<v Speaker 3>Uh, the athletics are not. Shaye Langeleiers is repeating his success.

638
00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Again. Some of this is the park, but repeating his

639
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:26.640
<v Speaker 1>success the power is not surprising. Nick Kurtz is fine. Uh,

640
00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:30.599
<v Speaker 1>he is striking out an unconsortable amount. He is walking

641
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:32.400
<v Speaker 1>an unconscionable.

642
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Amount sitting for more power. Yep, we're past the recently. Yeah, yeah,

643
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:39.480
<v Speaker 2>we're past than I think we've gotten over the Nick

644
00:32:39.519 --> 00:32:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Johnson line. At least the power is coming.

645
00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:41.880
<v Speaker 3>He is.

646
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>He is just shy of a five hundred slug at

647
00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:47.519
<v Speaker 1>this point, which, again for that park, is not necessarily Yeah,

648
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:51.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, Carlos Cortes has a for eighty four slug,

649
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Nick yes has a ninety four.

650
00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Are moving in opposite directions?

651
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, sure, I'm just saying, well.

652
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean part of the like this is very much

653
00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:03.000
<v Speaker 2>like a Stars and Scrubs lineup. Yeah, even on like

654
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't like, maybe I'm being mean to some of

655
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the scrubs, but like on performance right, like Jack McNeil

656
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 2>is a sixty eight oh ps plus, Lawrence Butler's thirty seven.

657
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Brent Rooker is eighty four. You know, Brent Rooker is

658
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:14.279
<v Speaker 2>just hitting two six with two eighty four on base.

659
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.839
<v Speaker 1>Percentage, right, yeah, and Soda Strum is not so has

660
00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:22.480
<v Speaker 1>been okay, like he's been fine, but like for them

661
00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 1>to not have soder Strum or Rooker.

662
00:33:24.200 --> 00:33:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Hitting yeah, right, And then the pitching has had a

663
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:28.960
<v Speaker 2>lot of injuries.

664
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Severino is out out, yeah, Jacob Lopez off the Rosterali's out. Yeah.

665
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 2>They called up gate Jump, who I think is good.

666
00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Someone made a comment to us recently about how we

667
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:43.039
<v Speaker 1>say somebody is it is it is? It is? Okay,

668
00:33:43.160 --> 00:33:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I've been saying, I said Saville at some.

669
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Point it's civil, civilly civil. The SIV is capitalized, so

670
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:57.559
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's maybe it's civilly.

671
00:33:58.240 --> 00:33:58.519
<v Speaker 3>M hm.

672
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know how I feel about that.

673
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:04.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's that's that's a struggle for me.

674
00:34:05.720 --> 00:34:06.240
<v Speaker 3>Keep laughing.

675
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's fine.

676
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Thought, we're not we're not getting better.

677
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 2>JT Jin has been quite good. Yeah, I don't know that.

678
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 2>I I mean he's a sinkerballer, which I guess helps.

679
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:21.840
<v Speaker 2>He's also, as Patrick will point out, uh, he has

680
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:25.320
<v Speaker 2>he has his hits for nine is in bold font. Yes,

681
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

682
00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:28.440
<v Speaker 1>That's something.

683
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's six for nine, so that means it is

684
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 2>the lowest qualified pictures of qualified pictures. Yeah, I don't know.

685
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:37.360
<v Speaker 2>He has a again I don't missing.

686
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's missing a decent amount of again someone who's.

687
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 3>But he's also only getting so he's not even.

688
00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh Yeah, Jeff Springs has been healthy and again like

689
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:53.239
<v Speaker 2>he has a four point three seven e R which

690
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 2>is and that sounds about right. Yeah, so it's a

691
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.400
<v Speaker 2>slightly above hour so and their bullpen has been all

692
00:34:59.480 --> 00:35:01.519
<v Speaker 2>right again considering the part context.

693
00:35:01.639 --> 00:35:06.119
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean it's you're saying JT Jim, but

694
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Gage Jump is probably the most interesting. Yeah pitcher. Now

695
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that he's here, yep, he's made three starts, eighteen innings,

696
00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:17.519
<v Speaker 1>only thirteen strikeouts.

697
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:19.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think that. I think the strikeouts will come.

698
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:25.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not super worried about that. I just like they

699
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 2>have some easy holes to fill that could help them

700
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot, and they just do not have the bullets

701
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 2>to fire here. Yeah, Like I don't like Leo DeVries

702
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.360
<v Speaker 2>is still probably a year away, and then like past that,

703
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.719
<v Speaker 2>it get it's like they called up Henry Boltay, and

704
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:47.960
<v Speaker 2>he's been all right for you know, he is a

705
00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:50.840
<v Speaker 2>obp over slugs, which is fine.

706
00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Like they it's been a hit for Power.

707
00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 2>You're thinking of Power. But he's like a useful player.

708
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Max Month's the other Max Month. He's hurt.

709
00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he had been all right. Like they really

710
00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 2>need they really need like Brent Rooker to be Brent

711
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:10.719
<v Speaker 2>Brooker or Lawrence Butler to be better for this because

712
00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:12.840
<v Speaker 2>they're pitching hasn't Like I think they're just going to

713
00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 2>run out of bullets. It's a it's a long hot

714
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:18.079
<v Speaker 2>summer in West Sacramento, and I think that pitch.

715
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.960
<v Speaker 1>We're just we're in are we in late early June

716
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:23.239
<v Speaker 1>or are we in early mid June?

717
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:26.119
<v Speaker 2>We are we're in late early or late early June.

718
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:27.280
<v Speaker 2>It's still a single digit.

719
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, honestly, that gives me so joy. That's good, it

720
00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:36.320
<v Speaker 1>really does. I think that sums out it's going to

721
00:36:36.360 --> 00:36:38.880
<v Speaker 1>come down to Rooker and to maybe a lesser extent

722
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.360
<v Speaker 1>from kind of McNeil.

723
00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:41.679
<v Speaker 2>Like that group.

724
00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't believe in Butler, but sure like thirty

725
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:50.679
<v Speaker 1>seven ops plus like I can get come fair enough.

726
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about the astros.

727
00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, We talked about them recently too, and it's kind

728
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:59.480
<v Speaker 2>of they are four and a half back, yeah, because

729
00:36:59.599 --> 00:37:04.480
<v Speaker 2>they they have been slightly above five hundred the last

730
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:05.519
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks, and.

731
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:08.480
<v Speaker 1>They and and only three back in the wildcard.

732
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Three back from the Rangers in the wildcard for the

733
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.159
<v Speaker 2>third wildcard spot. Ay, there can we just take a

734
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:18.840
<v Speaker 2>moment type out Jordan Alvarez, like, what's I mean, my god,

735
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:22.320
<v Speaker 2>getting like the full healthy season.

736
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Speaker 1>The man is just sixteen. He feels the most six fifty.

737
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:33.719
<v Speaker 2>He feels almost somehow underrated still and I'm not sure,

738
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:34.920
<v Speaker 2>like again, this has been the.

739
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean he is I think I'm sure I've said

740
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:41.960
<v Speaker 1>this story. He's he's standos to me right, Like it's like, guy,

741
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>you should not be able to hit yeah for that

742
00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 1>much power and swing and miss that little Yeah, I

743
00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:52.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you get him out.

744
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I know he was like hurt last year and like

745
00:37:54.800 --> 00:37:56.800
<v Speaker 2>if we're just say underrated, he got MVV votes in

746
00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the previous three seasons.

747
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:04.159
<v Speaker 3>But how many seasons in his career I have I'm

748
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:06.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm looking at the ASTRO season page.

749
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.800
<v Speaker 1>How many seasons in his career has he had slugging

750
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:09.719
<v Speaker 1>over six hundred.

751
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.440
<v Speaker 2>This would full. I mean he came up in the

752
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:17.280
<v Speaker 2>half season twenty nineteen, was six fifty five, was six

753
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:21.679
<v Speaker 2>thirteen in his twenty twenty two and it's six fifteenth

754
00:38:21.679 --> 00:38:22.039
<v Speaker 2>this year.

755
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:31.679
<v Speaker 3>It's that's still yeah, yees, yeah, I like that. Like

756
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:34.639
<v Speaker 3>so it's triple crown. You know, he is the closest

757
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 3>thing we're gonna get to twitchriple Crown watch this year.

758
00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

759
00:38:36.960 --> 00:38:39.960
<v Speaker 3>He is currently sixth's that's in the league. Let me

760
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.440
<v Speaker 3>let me look at like for the American League, he

761
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:49.960
<v Speaker 3>is a second in batting average behind yond Ds. He

762
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:53.199
<v Speaker 3>is leading the league in home runs and RBI. If

763
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.880
<v Speaker 3>you look at the slash line, he is leading in

764
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:59.239
<v Speaker 3>slugging percentage. Obviously, he is not leading OBP because he

765
00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.159
<v Speaker 3>is percentage points behind Nick Kurtz. They're both at four

766
00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:08.039
<v Speaker 3>thirty one. He could do it and the Astros could

767
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:09.039
<v Speaker 3>finished hundred five hundred.

768
00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just still doing it. Yeah, yeah, they seem it's

769
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:19.199
<v Speaker 2>again it's not a bad lineup. Again. They their outfield

770
00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:24.440
<v Speaker 2>remains a huge issue, as it does pretty much every

771
00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:30.280
<v Speaker 2>year recently. Their best outfielder by OPS plus is, of course,

772
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Tromal ninety seven three fifty seven three ninety one

773
00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:38.599
<v Speaker 2>with a right Yeah, strike out right, and I should

774
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:44.119
<v Speaker 2>say anyha likes like Spencer Ragedy's not been great recently.

775
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:46.760
<v Speaker 2>They're getting he threw his first clutter, he threw his

776
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:53.000
<v Speaker 2>first clunkert he's been really he's walking five per nine.

777
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:55.760
<v Speaker 3>But he had a four run, four inning. Yeah start

778
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:56.719
<v Speaker 3>against the Pirates.

779
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.320
<v Speaker 2>They're getting Hunter Hunter Brown is probably making his last

780
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:01.360
<v Speaker 2>rehab start this each will have him back soon. I

781
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:04.199
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I guess they just have a spot because

782
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:05.119
<v Speaker 2>mccolors is on me.

783
00:40:05.800 --> 00:40:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they have a couple of spots they have.

784
00:40:09.239 --> 00:40:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they have spots. They can move kiway Tying back

785
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:15.800
<v Speaker 2>to the bullpen like Burrows is like, yeah they could just.

786
00:40:17.719 --> 00:40:19.840
<v Speaker 3>He is leading and earn runs and home runs.

787
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:21.639
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna let Tom I keep working it out. I

788
00:40:21.639 --> 00:40:28.760
<v Speaker 2>guess fine, Yeah they have break. Burrows could use a break. Yeah,

789
00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:34.039
<v Speaker 2>uh yeah, I just yeah, we don't spend that much

790
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:37.159
<v Speaker 2>time on the astros. I feel like I want to

791
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:38.679
<v Speaker 2>talk about Jordan, So yeah, there we go.

792
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean Lamont Waite Junior is here.

793
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he came up and yeah he had a good game,

794
00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:49.280
<v Speaker 2>did they So I guess now that he's back healthy

795
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:56.039
<v Speaker 2>and hitting did they trade Pain yet the deadline? I mean,

796
00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:59.519
<v Speaker 2>you make him available, like he's gonna be by far

797
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:04.039
<v Speaker 2>the best hit her to see that you get a

798
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:08.840
<v Speaker 2>season plus on the and that like the Braves could.

799
00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:12.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know Dubond's been fine and Jorge Mateo

800
00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:14.079
<v Speaker 2>has been good, which we'll get to in a minute,

801
00:41:14.079 --> 00:41:18.639
<v Speaker 2>but like I feel like I.

802
00:41:18.559 --> 00:41:20.320
<v Speaker 3>Don't feel like they should but also I feel like

803
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:24.920
<v Speaker 3>they should have, ye know, like figured out the situation

804
00:41:25.079 --> 00:41:30.079
<v Speaker 3>right now. Yeah, alto eight being kind of looking like

805
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:33.400
<v Speaker 3>he might be done, it's not helping, right because you know,

806
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:36.480
<v Speaker 3>it looks like the best lineup for the Astros going

807
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:40.199
<v Speaker 3>forward is paying it short praise at second and grade

808
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:41.800
<v Speaker 3>third when everybody's healthy.

809
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:45.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I.

810
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.079
<v Speaker 3>Don't I don't see them doing it. Doesn't It doesn't

811
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:49.039
<v Speaker 3>feel like y're praying to me.

812
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but like they're not gonna They've been fairly clear

813
00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:53.760
<v Speaker 2>they're not going to resign them, right, Yeah.

814
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:56.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I just sit there and let them go.

815
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:58.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think.

816
00:41:58.440 --> 00:41:58.760
<v Speaker 3>I do it.

817
00:41:58.800 --> 00:41:59.760
<v Speaker 2>You could do it, and you could do it in

818
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the season two, right, like there might be more here.

819
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Here's my question. If you're if you're gonna say, like, well,

820
00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:12.840
<v Speaker 1>they trade Jeremy Painna, So what it's an acknowledgement they've

821
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:15.639
<v Speaker 1>refused to make. Yeah, and what does it say about

822
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:21.199
<v Speaker 1>the What does it say about what they think their

823
00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.000
<v Speaker 1>next couple of years are?

824
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Its true, yes, but they do at some point here

825
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:28.679
<v Speaker 2>have to move an infielder they can't keep. I know,

826
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:32.199
<v Speaker 2>like a lot of these guys get hurt Painia and

827
00:42:32.280 --> 00:42:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Korea included, but like they can't kind of keep and

828
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:37.360
<v Speaker 2>they're still playing camp sent in the outfield. Like I know,

829
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:39.119
<v Speaker 2>he's a pretty good outfielder at this point, but like

830
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.119
<v Speaker 2>it's a very unoptimized at this point.

831
00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It's been so long since he.

832
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Played the infield, I know, since college.

833
00:42:49.360 --> 00:42:52.639
<v Speaker 1>Basically, Yeah, I don't think I think he's an outfielder.

834
00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you might just be.

835
00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's not only that they haven't made

836
00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the acknowledgment. But like then you then you have to trade.

837
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:08.440
<v Speaker 1>You have to trade Paradis, you have to trade walk.

838
00:43:08.280 --> 00:43:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Again, Like again, what do you do?

839
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:12.199
<v Speaker 1>What are you doing with your Don Alvarez? Then? I mean,

840
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:16.360
<v Speaker 1>why did you sign Tsuya in mine? Why? I mean,

841
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and these are those were questions at the time, don't

842
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:20.400
<v Speaker 1>get me wrong, But.

843
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.079
<v Speaker 2>You can to open up a spot, right, Like, it's

844
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:27.000
<v Speaker 2>not They're not trading.

845
00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:33.320
<v Speaker 3>Your best infielder to open up a spot. Carlos is

846
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:36.239
<v Speaker 3>hurt for the so who are you opening a spot for?

847
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:39.920
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean just to like for the long for

848
00:43:39.960 --> 00:43:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the medium term, not even long.

849
00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:43.559
<v Speaker 1>He is the long term he should be.

850
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:45.480
<v Speaker 2>But they're not going to resign him and he has

851
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:48.079
<v Speaker 2>one more year of control after this. Yeah, Like that's

852
00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:49.719
<v Speaker 2>the that's the thing. That's the thing.

853
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.599
<v Speaker 3>Like this, there are two things that the Astros won't

854
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:54.800
<v Speaker 3>do and they don't work well together.

855
00:43:57.880 --> 00:44:05.119
<v Speaker 1>That's that's well, well said, I guess. So, uh we'll

856
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:05.440
<v Speaker 1>move on.

857
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, sorry angels, Yeah, the angels.

858
00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:13.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, well next topic, we can go on to.

859
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Our next I did run down, Yes, do you want

860
00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:18.320
<v Speaker 2>any thoughts? Do you have any thoughts on Sebastian Roberto

861
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:20.639
<v Speaker 2>apparently all hell?

862
00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:25.519
<v Speaker 1>I was in and out of that game. I I

863
00:44:25.559 --> 00:44:28.000
<v Speaker 1>saw some stat whereas like Dalton Rushing and he were

864
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:30.239
<v Speaker 1>both four for four at one point. I don't know

865
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:31.800
<v Speaker 1>how it ended, but they were four for four.

866
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, Berbero was five for five.

867
00:44:33.519 --> 00:44:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So okay, I mean, incredible game. I don't know what

868
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:38.280
<v Speaker 1>else to where.

869
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:40.639
<v Speaker 3>Does it rank on the Austin wins scale is my question.

870
00:44:40.719 --> 00:44:43.480
<v Speaker 2>This is like if you could distill the norm cash

871
00:44:43.519 --> 00:44:48.599
<v Speaker 2>season into one game, this is what it would look like. Okay, yeah,

872
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:51.239
<v Speaker 2>that's the way I would put it. We should note,

873
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:53.159
<v Speaker 2>because it is of interest with the pod that Joe

874
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Adelle had a four under and thirty three foot home

875
00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:57.039
<v Speaker 2>run in this game as well, and went four for

876
00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:02.719
<v Speaker 2>five himself. Still did not get the uh ops over

877
00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:05.320
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred, but you know, it's to work in a progress. Yeah,

878
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Rivero five for five with a double six RBIs.

879
00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to our second segment, Hot Lanta. Yeah, we

880
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.719
<v Speaker 1>have not talked about Atlanta as much.

881
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:22.440
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like it's both boring because they just

882
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:25.760
<v Speaker 2>keep winning and it's also boring because they just keep

883
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:27.360
<v Speaker 2>winning while starting Bryce Elder.

884
00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it feels like the story of the season for

885
00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:33.280
<v Speaker 3>the Braves hasn't happened yet, right, the stories you have

886
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:35.960
<v Speaker 3>they managed to do it this long, yeah, which there

887
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.719
<v Speaker 3>could be longer, or the story is a falling apart,

888
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:45.760
<v Speaker 3>which hasn't fair given how last year went. Well, yeah, no,

889
00:45:45.880 --> 00:45:47.360
<v Speaker 3>it's it's not fair and a lot of.

890
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:49.920
<v Speaker 1>People and a lot of people were like, well they

891
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:53.079
<v Speaker 1>were done last year and like not everyone's going to

892
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:56.000
<v Speaker 1>bounce back and blah blah blah, and they had a

893
00:45:56.039 --> 00:45:59.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of pitching injuries and all this. It seems unfair

894
00:45:59.320 --> 00:46:01.039
<v Speaker 1>to say, like this story, he hasn't happened yet. This

895
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:02.800
<v Speaker 1>is a story like they they.

896
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:06.639
<v Speaker 2>They get off, had them division by five games?

897
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:08.639
<v Speaker 1>How many had them in first place?

898
00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:10.280
<v Speaker 2>The coda did.

899
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Did sure? And I think we were all kind of like.

900
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:20.119
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they've again, like they've they've gotten some significant

901
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:22.800
<v Speaker 2>bounce backs, right like lb Azzi Albis has turned back

902
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:27.119
<v Speaker 2>into Ozzi Alby's. Yeah, Michael Harris is having the best

903
00:46:27.119 --> 00:46:30.760
<v Speaker 2>season of his career, like beyond just a bounce back. Yeah,

904
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:32.639
<v Speaker 2>you know he's hitting three oh six three forty five

905
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:33.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty three y.

906
00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:39.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Harris walked eleven times. I mean he he'sn't walking,

907
00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.599
<v Speaker 3>but he's already halfway to his Like this is like

908
00:46:42.639 --> 00:46:44.039
<v Speaker 3>most in the season is twenty five.

909
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Some of this is like the Miguel Vargus where he's

910
00:46:46.199 --> 00:46:48.800
<v Speaker 2>like he's still chasing forty four. The process has not

911
00:46:48.880 --> 00:46:51.199
<v Speaker 2>changed it here at all. Here, the outcome has.

912
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.239
<v Speaker 1>The thing with Harris is that he's slugging five twenty right,

913
00:46:54.280 --> 00:46:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Like Harris is who Harris is in a lot of ways.

914
00:46:57.000 --> 00:46:58.760
<v Speaker 1>But he's slugging five to twenty and.

915
00:46:58.639 --> 00:46:59.039
<v Speaker 3>That is it.

916
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:01.760
<v Speaker 2>He has bumped his average exits by three miles an hour,

917
00:47:01.800 --> 00:47:03.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's hitting the ball in the air more.

918
00:47:04.440 --> 00:47:05.199
<v Speaker 1>That's how you start.

919
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:09.199
<v Speaker 2>He's not swinging. He's always swung hard. He's swinging about

920
00:47:09.239 --> 00:47:12.400
<v Speaker 2>as hard as he ever has. You know, he's still

921
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.559
<v Speaker 2>swinging and missing a fair amount. But again, doesn't matter

922
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:19.280
<v Speaker 2>when you're slugging five hundred. Yeah, he remains a good

923
00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:23.039
<v Speaker 2>defensive center fielder. Like and again, like Matt Olsen, keeps

924
00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:25.800
<v Speaker 2>staving off father time. By father time, I mean me

925
00:47:25.960 --> 00:47:28.840
<v Speaker 2>predicting his swing.

926
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Years Pete Alonzo to electric.

927
00:47:31.079 --> 00:47:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but then they've got they've got like they braves

928
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.239
<v Speaker 2>get some bullshit every year, right when they're good, and they've.

929
00:47:37.000 --> 00:47:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Got Mauricio Dubon and Jorge Matteo and Dominic Smith and

930
00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:43.760
<v Speaker 1>more dominics. You're right, it's Dominic Smith more than more

931
00:47:43.800 --> 00:47:44.440
<v Speaker 1>than the other two.

932
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Dominic Smith has a better ops than Ronald Acunya.

933
00:47:49.719 --> 00:47:51.119
<v Speaker 1>By the way, I just want to give you a

934
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:54.239
<v Speaker 1>small update. Keet Alonso up to a one seventeen ops plus.

935
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:55.000
<v Speaker 1>We're closing in.

936
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:57.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean it was one nineteen the other day.

937
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:00.400
<v Speaker 1>So them oh am, I am I thinking of I'm

938
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:01.679
<v Speaker 1>thinking of Devers's.

939
00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:04.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, Colons has been.

940
00:48:04.519 --> 00:48:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Improved, has been better recently.

941
00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Is only one of four so stole aways together.

942
00:48:11.079 --> 00:48:13.280
<v Speaker 2>And like then you look at the pitching and like, okay,

943
00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Chris Sale again, Chris Sale is quietly well.

944
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Also this was also powered in a lot of ways,

945
00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:20.599
<v Speaker 1>just before we go to the pitching by the Drake

946
00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:24.320
<v Speaker 1>Baldwin descendence and he's hurt now, but I mean an

947
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:29.079
<v Speaker 1>absolutely unreal season until until he got hurt, but go

948
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:29.480
<v Speaker 1>go ahead.

949
00:48:29.559 --> 00:48:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Really should have kept Jonaheim. Yeah, yeah, Sale has been incredible.

950
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Like in most years he would be like an El

951
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.679
<v Speaker 2>Say young favorite, but he's like the fourth best pitcher

952
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:46.199
<v Speaker 2>the NL this year behind.

953
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:48.079
<v Speaker 3>It's kind of it's kind of a Chris Sale career.

954
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, and like they've gotten like Martine Perez and

955
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Elder, Like I don't think this will continue because

956
00:48:58.559 --> 00:49:02.840
<v Speaker 2>like it never does for these guys. But the winds

957
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:06.679
<v Speaker 2>are banked, you know, right, Glaciers is back to being

958
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:09.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the best closers in baseball. Robert Suarez has

959
00:49:09.519 --> 00:49:10.880
<v Speaker 2>been better than Rachel Gracias.

960
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:16.320
<v Speaker 1>One thing. One thing, we didn't talk about just this.

961
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:19.599
<v Speaker 1>This came up on the subject. There was a there

962
00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:21.159
<v Speaker 1>was a we didn't talk about this on the Angels

963
00:49:21.159 --> 00:49:25.199
<v Speaker 1>because we understand just over them read debt Mars has

964
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:28.400
<v Speaker 1>been very good. Yeah, Fangrafts had an article. Ryan Blake,

965
00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:31.679
<v Speaker 1>uh had an article all about debt mers and and

966
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:35.199
<v Speaker 1>I do want to note this he said, like he

967
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:39.960
<v Speaker 1>might be the best left hander in baseball. And I again,

968
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I like Ryan Blake and is a good article. You

969
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:46.880
<v Speaker 1>should read it. But I my immediate reaction to this was,

970
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.639
<v Speaker 1>did Chris saie die ye? Like I understand, you know,

971
00:49:50.639 --> 00:49:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Garrett Crochet has had a.

972
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.239
<v Speaker 2>Bad year a couple of weeks, Like.

973
00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:58.880
<v Speaker 1>There's stuff right, well, but he's hurt. I get that

974
00:49:59.039 --> 00:50:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris Sale is here and looking like Chris Sale. Yeah,

975
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:05.719
<v Speaker 1>let's let's not bury Chris Sale yet.

976
00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:09.039
<v Speaker 2>And like Sales, And like any injury when you're a

977
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:12.840
<v Speaker 2>thirty six year old pitcher can be a problem, but

978
00:50:12.960 --> 00:50:14.719
<v Speaker 2>like his injury is kind of a freak thing, right,

979
00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:18.119
<v Speaker 2>Like he dove and broke a rib or something last year,

980
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:22.000
<v Speaker 2>fractured a rib and he's just come back picked up

981
00:50:22.000 --> 00:50:25.679
<v Speaker 2>where he left off. Like it's kind of amazing. He's

982
00:50:25.840 --> 00:50:31.639
<v Speaker 2>like he's been eerily consistent since uh the trade to Atlanta,

983
00:50:31.800 --> 00:50:35.559
<v Speaker 2>like just on a ppheral level side of his face,

984
00:50:35.880 --> 00:50:36.880
<v Speaker 2>like rib injuries.

985
00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:40.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he had some like really terrible bat ball luck

986
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:42.559
<v Speaker 3>at the beginning of last year.

987
00:50:42.719 --> 00:50:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Yaind of and he like he was also like out

988
00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:48.360
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the very end of twenty twenty four.

989
00:50:48.360 --> 00:50:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Even he won the cy Young right like three hundred innings,

990
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:52.840
<v Speaker 2>but he missed the last a few starts in the

991
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:55.760
<v Speaker 2>playoffs for them. Uh yeah, Like.

992
00:50:55.760 --> 00:51:00.519
<v Speaker 1>It's just Martine Perez is saying, if if Brice Elder

993
00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:03.159
<v Speaker 1>can do it, why can't I. I mean, this is

994
00:51:03.199 --> 00:51:07.000
<v Speaker 1>we're getting We're up to thirteen sorry, nine games started,

995
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.320
<v Speaker 1>so we're closing in on that tenth game. Guys, I

996
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:10.719
<v Speaker 1>think I.

997
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Think it's more reasonable to assume that because Paris is here,

998
00:51:13.599 --> 00:51:16.719
<v Speaker 3>Bryce Elder's like taking some tips. Here's how I look,

999
00:51:16.760 --> 00:51:20.159
<v Speaker 3>here's how to fake it. Keep be doing okay, But.

1000
00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:22.760
<v Speaker 1>He's up to fourteen Martin Martin Paris, the Pumpkin on

1001
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:27.920
<v Speaker 1>mar Team Paris is ten games, about which he's at

1002
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:30.880
<v Speaker 1>nine right starts, specifically, I want to be clear, So

1003
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.599
<v Speaker 1>he's at nine. He has a three point zero two

1004
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:34.920
<v Speaker 1>e er.

1005
00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, they do get the Mets offense this week, so

1006
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:40.360
<v Speaker 2>that might continue.

1007
00:51:38.039 --> 00:51:45.559
<v Speaker 1>M Yeah, I don't know the pitching. Look, I think

1008
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:49.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a bit of a regression coming, right, which isn't

1009
00:51:50.039 --> 00:51:51.199
<v Speaker 1>bold to say about.

1010
00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:52.440
<v Speaker 2>A team, a team that's not like one hundred and

1011
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:53.280
<v Speaker 2>fifteen win pace.

1012
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Now, Spencer Strider's been a little bit up and down.

1013
00:51:56.840 --> 00:52:01.679
<v Speaker 1>The fastball shape kind of keeps creeping towards I don't

1014
00:52:01.679 --> 00:52:04.159
<v Speaker 1>think he's getting back to what he was, but towards

1015
00:52:04.280 --> 00:52:07.920
<v Speaker 1>towards something that's workable. He's still striking out close to

1016
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:11.639
<v Speaker 1>eleven per nine, walking too many batters. I think it's

1017
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the bullpen.

1018
00:52:12.280 --> 00:52:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Though, Like yeah, look, I mean, right.

1019
00:52:16.360 --> 00:52:19.199
<v Speaker 1>Are extremely good, but they both have a sub one

1020
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:23.800
<v Speaker 1>e r a Dylan Lee barely above that Dylan Dodd.

1021
00:52:24.239 --> 00:52:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Dylan Dodd is sixteen to two strike out to walk

1022
00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:28.400
<v Speaker 2>ratio in twelve and two thirds.

1023
00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:31.199
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, and it has a one point four two.

1024
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:34.400
<v Speaker 2>D has been very good in the penent for them,

1025
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:36.440
<v Speaker 2>which I mean, that's surprising.

1026
00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:37.719
<v Speaker 1>That's a great fit for him.

1027
00:52:37.840 --> 00:52:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

1028
00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:41.159
<v Speaker 1>And so I don't want to say like this this

1029
00:52:41.360 --> 00:52:44.920
<v Speaker 1>they cut Aaron Bummer, who had been the weakest point

1030
00:52:44.920 --> 00:52:46.239
<v Speaker 1>in the pen. I don't want to say this pen

1031
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:51.719
<v Speaker 1>is like due to regress badly. These are good pictures.

1032
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, look's if worse comes worse and they you don't

1033
00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:04.760
<v Speaker 2>have issues depend down the stretch, like you know, there's

1034
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:05.639
<v Speaker 2>always Craig Kimbrel.

1035
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm. Yeah.

1036
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:13.039
<v Speaker 3>I mean they're they're biggest problem, and it's not obvious.

1037
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:15.159
<v Speaker 1>They don't have a lot of big problems. They've had

1038
00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:21.280
<v Speaker 1>really quality backfills like Hassan Kim as a negative nineteen

1039
00:53:21.360 --> 00:53:25.079
<v Speaker 1>oh ps. Plus, I don't know what they're gonna do.

1040
00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, they'll just I guess they're gonna keep keep

1041
00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:32.239
<v Speaker 1>playing Duban and Jorge Matteo. But yeahine will but will

1042
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it be fine?

1043
00:53:32.920 --> 00:53:35.719
<v Speaker 3>Right? Like you want to capture these guys and and

1044
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:39.519
<v Speaker 3>rotate off as you can to like you're more established guys.

1045
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:45.119
<v Speaker 1>You you want Kim to figure it out and be

1046
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:50.360
<v Speaker 1>there so those guys can not be over exposed as

1047
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the season goes on. Yeah, I don't know what else,

1048
00:53:57.039 --> 00:53:58.000
<v Speaker 1>what else there's to say?

1049
00:53:58.039 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean that, you know, I mean they're gonna win.

1050
00:53:59.880 --> 00:54:02.360
<v Speaker 3>That that's why we're not talking about it.

1051
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the last thing that our rundown are they

1052
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:10.480
<v Speaker 1>better than the Dodgers? They've been better than the Dodgers.

1053
00:54:10.559 --> 00:54:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're starting Bryce Elder in Game three right now.

1054
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I think it's a great series. Yeah, Look,

1055
00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:21.039
<v Speaker 1>my default would be I think the Dodgers are the

1056
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:24.400
<v Speaker 1>best team in baseball, So I guess no, but no,

1057
00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:27.119
<v Speaker 1>slight meant I think it would be. I think they're very.

1058
00:54:26.960 --> 00:54:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Close again because of the twenty twenty five Like, and

1059
00:54:30.840 --> 00:54:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I know the twenty twenty four season didn't end great

1060
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:37.599
<v Speaker 2>for the Braves either, Like they're still like they're capable

1061
00:54:37.639 --> 00:54:39.639
<v Speaker 2>of winning the Pennant. They're capable being the Dodgers in

1062
00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the seven game series with this roster, Like it's not

1063
00:54:42.440 --> 00:54:44.599
<v Speaker 2>even beyond the like any team has a chance in

1064
00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:47.559
<v Speaker 2>a seven game series, is the Dodgers have proved over

1065
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:52.519
<v Speaker 2>the years, Like, yeah, we'll see again, Like it's tough

1066
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:56.199
<v Speaker 2>to know what this team will look like. They can

1067
00:54:56.280 --> 00:54:57.519
<v Speaker 2>hit October two.

1068
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.920
<v Speaker 1>They can hit, they can field. Yeah, we probably haven't

1069
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>seen the best of Ronald Acuna this year. Yep, but

1070
00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:07.199
<v Speaker 1>they can hit, they can feel, they have a great bullpen,

1071
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Like there's no reason. Yeah, I mean, look, I think

1072
00:55:09.480 --> 00:55:11.480
<v Speaker 1>if someone wanted to say they're better than the Dodgers,

1073
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:13.840
<v Speaker 1>certainly right now, not just based on record, but based

1074
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:17.400
<v Speaker 1>on the team composition. I don't think that's like insane.

1075
00:55:18.800 --> 00:55:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I think I think the Dodgers are the best team

1076
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:23.159
<v Speaker 1>in baseball.

1077
00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:27.519
<v Speaker 2>I just yeah, there's the one until you like, until

1078
00:55:27.519 --> 00:55:30.440
<v Speaker 2>your ko the champ, right like the champs the champ right.

1079
00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:33.880
<v Speaker 1>As as Davis said, I guess right like yeah. I

1080
00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:37.679
<v Speaker 1>also I just think, like, do you believe in you know,

1081
00:55:37.679 --> 00:55:40.719
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers have their own Bryce Elder and Justin Robleski. Sure,

1082
00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:46.639
<v Speaker 1>do you believe in? Okay Sales Sale the best pitcher

1083
00:55:46.880 --> 00:55:48.320
<v Speaker 1>between the two staffs.

1084
00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:50.840
<v Speaker 2>It's sling Yawamoto, Like you could pick either one, I think, frankly, like,

1085
00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't think.

1086
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:54.360
<v Speaker 3>It's Shoheo Tani has a point seventy four e er.

1087
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:59.320
<v Speaker 2>This right and again that's soft, but there's no thing

1088
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:01.559
<v Speaker 2>as a hard point seven forty r a outside of

1089
00:56:01.679 --> 00:56:02.679
<v Speaker 2>like the show.

1090
00:56:05.079 --> 00:56:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean he's had some starts where he's absolutely

1091
00:56:07.800 --> 00:56:09.800
<v Speaker 1>struggled with his command, but the.

1092
00:56:09.880 --> 00:56:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Stuff I think, Yeah, I think like Atlanta's lineup is

1093
00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:15.280
<v Speaker 2>arguably a little deeper.

1094
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:21.840
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean Will Smith has not been great obviously,

1095
00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Tucker has been.

1096
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, made, Yeah, I don't like that lineup is just

1097
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.199
<v Speaker 2>like a little it's a little meat. It's older than

1098
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:31.880
<v Speaker 2>the Brave lineup. Even the Brave line is not young

1099
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:32.360
<v Speaker 2>at this one.

1100
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers lineup is older than everybody's up.

1101
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, TONI somebody asked me, like, well, Tony's

1102
00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:39.679
<v Speaker 2>not hitting for as much power this year. I'm like, yeah,

1103
00:56:39.719 --> 00:56:41.679
<v Speaker 2>I think some of that is just he's also pitching,

1104
00:56:41.960 --> 00:56:43.760
<v Speaker 2>like it's just harder, like it's harder.

1105
00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Toll on his offense. Also, he is a nine to forty.

1106
00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh right, yeah, it's like that.

1107
00:56:48.519 --> 00:56:51.239
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I do not And he went into

1108
00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:52.559
<v Speaker 1>an extended slum.

1109
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do not think at his age while pitching,

1110
00:56:56.519 --> 00:57:00.599
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see like the you're you're not getting

1111
00:57:01.639 --> 00:57:03.280
<v Speaker 2>You're not getting that kind of like three four six

1112
00:57:03.360 --> 00:57:04.480
<v Speaker 2>line from him yet, right.

1113
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:10.239
<v Speaker 1>No, months, he's months, he's been incredible, turning it around.

1114
00:57:10.039 --> 00:57:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Before turning into one of the best position players in

1115
00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:15.039
<v Speaker 2>baseball right.

1116
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:22.159
<v Speaker 1>And has bold and italic ink on his on his

1117
00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:27.639
<v Speaker 1>June Our War right now three point eight Yeah, this

1118
00:57:27.760 --> 00:57:30.280
<v Speaker 1>season already. And I don't think it's a joke.

1119
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:33.679
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's I guess he's legitimately a very

1120
00:57:33.760 --> 00:57:37.000
<v Speaker 2>good defensive center fielder. That is hitting for a lot

1121
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:37.599
<v Speaker 2>of power.

1122
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Like for a lot of power, right, I mean he's

1123
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:41.480
<v Speaker 1>going to strike out, he's gonna chase, he's not gonna

1124
00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:44.960
<v Speaker 1>walk a ton, and he's hitting for power. This is

1125
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:47.079
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of way. Look and they've basically been

1126
00:57:47.280 --> 00:57:50.079
<v Speaker 1>big brother, little brother, but this is Taoscar Hernandez with

1127
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:53.159
<v Speaker 1>a good center field defense and a nice player, like

1128
00:57:53.280 --> 00:57:56.400
<v Speaker 1>the good version of Oskar. Yeah that's that's an incredible yep.

1129
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:01.440
<v Speaker 3>But again, like Michael Harris is doing very soon stuff right,

1130
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:04.440
<v Speaker 3>like they go toe to toe is basically my point.

1131
00:58:06.039 --> 00:58:08.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we'll see. I mean Mookie Betts is also going

1132
00:58:08.159 --> 00:58:15.559
<v Speaker 1>toe to toe with Hassan Kim and m uh yes,

1133
00:58:15.679 --> 00:58:16.119
<v Speaker 1>are they better?

1134
00:58:16.239 --> 00:58:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe a lot of baseball left.

1135
00:58:19.119 --> 00:58:21.320
<v Speaker 3>It's right now, it's looking very easy to say that

1136
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:24.320
<v Speaker 3>the best series in baseball will not be the World Series,

1137
00:58:24.840 --> 00:58:25.480
<v Speaker 3>right right?

1138
00:58:26.480 --> 00:58:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah, but you know, I also like not to

1139
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:33.440
<v Speaker 1>steal I Obviously, the NBA Finals are going on, a

1140
00:58:33.519 --> 00:58:35.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of people said, like, okay, see San Antonio was

1141
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:40.159
<v Speaker 1>the was the real NBA Finals? And you know, you

1142
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:43.480
<v Speaker 1>never know, you never know who's.

1143
00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:46.320
<v Speaker 2>The Jalen Brunson of the American League And why is

1144
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:53.320
<v Speaker 2>it funny. Why is it Brian Rokio, Oh, come on,

1145
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:54.079
<v Speaker 2>you can't.

1146
00:58:55.960 --> 00:58:59.920
<v Speaker 1>It's it's uh, it's Jose Capaira.

1147
00:59:00.199 --> 00:59:02.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, because you got to take a New York team, right, Yeah,

1148
00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:03.440
<v Speaker 2>that's true. Yeah.

1149
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Uh, let's take a break. Let's take a break, and

1150
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:10.199
<v Speaker 1>we'll come back with the rest of this show. Okay,

1151
00:59:33.000 --> 00:59:35.760
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to episode five hundred and fifty two of

1152
00:59:35.840 --> 00:59:37.880
<v Speaker 1>five and five. We're on segment three. We're going around

1153
00:59:37.880 --> 00:59:41.800
<v Speaker 1>the horn. Patrick, I'm gonna I'm gonna open the floor

1154
00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:43.920
<v Speaker 1>for you because it was.

1155
00:59:43.960 --> 00:59:47.880
<v Speaker 3>A big emotion week. Yes, a few days, I don't know,

1156
00:59:47.960 --> 00:59:51.760
<v Speaker 3>you wrote about several of them. Yeah, so I'm gonna

1157
00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna give you the floor. So yeah, a lot

1158
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:55.920
<v Speaker 3>of guys who h A lot of guys who are

1159
00:59:55.960 --> 00:59:58.159
<v Speaker 3>picked a second of a good amount of money, are

1160
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:02.119
<v Speaker 3>picking demoted, uh Brandon the diamonbacks.

1161
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Like crucially, many of them a significant amount of money

1162
01:00:05.199 --> 01:00:06.239
<v Speaker 1>committed to several.

1163
01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:07.920
<v Speaker 3>Years ago, Yes, several years ago.

1164
01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:10.199
<v Speaker 1>Who are still we are finally given years in.

1165
01:00:10.199 --> 01:00:12.400
<v Speaker 3>The future, Like we're not. We're not the end of

1166
01:00:12.480 --> 01:00:14.119
<v Speaker 3>any of these deals, No, we are.

1167
01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:15.039
<v Speaker 2>It.

1168
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:17.719
<v Speaker 3>So it's very funny to listen to the tone on

1169
01:00:17.880 --> 01:00:22.280
<v Speaker 3>some of these the Diamondbacks demoted Brandon Fought. Basically, the

1170
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:24.440
<v Speaker 3>idea is that Fawn hasn't been starting for a while.

1171
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:27.599
<v Speaker 3>He hasn't been good enough to start for the twenty

1172
01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>twenty six Arizona Diamondbacks.

1173
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>They've had some weirdly decent pitching.

1174
01:00:32.360 --> 01:00:40.400
<v Speaker 3>Weird some but uh, very like I think Hazen was

1175
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:42.800
<v Speaker 3>was like kind of down about it. I think, or

1176
01:00:42.840 --> 01:00:45.599
<v Speaker 3>maybe it was Labello, but like basically like they're like, man,

1177
01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:47.639
<v Speaker 3>this sucks. We we really wish we didn't have to

1178
01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:50.480
<v Speaker 3>do this. But essentially he is their sixth starter and

1179
01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:53.719
<v Speaker 3>he is not stretched out enough to start because there

1180
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:57.679
<v Speaker 3>hasn't been enough work. So basically sending him down so

1181
01:00:57.800 --> 01:01:00.840
<v Speaker 3>that he can stay in the four five inning range

1182
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:03.480
<v Speaker 3>so when somebody gets hurt, he can come back up

1183
01:01:03.559 --> 01:01:06.440
<v Speaker 3>and do it. Also, he has been bad, Yeah, he's

1184
01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:08.000
<v Speaker 3>just like lost command.

1185
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Bhoot was not particularly good when they signed him

1186
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:17.519
<v Speaker 2>to this contract.

1187
01:01:17.639 --> 01:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, so the perfect yeah, yeah, the second half of

1188
01:01:24.440 --> 01:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>looking like they it was it was very like confirmation bias. Yeah,

1189
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:32.519
<v Speaker 1>we think he he had he had always had better

1190
01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:36.039
<v Speaker 1>peripherals than top line stuff, and then he had a

1191
01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>second half where he was I don't know why this

1192
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.519
<v Speaker 1>is sticking in my head. But he was like a

1193
01:01:40.639 --> 01:01:43.119
<v Speaker 1>three point seven four e R and everyone was like,

1194
01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>he's it's time time here, And I'm like, that's not

1195
01:01:47.440 --> 01:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>even like, yeah, that's solid, right maybe bats that was

1196
01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>like their playoff run. It was like coming off twenty

1197
01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, right, so it's like their playoff run where

1198
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>he looked like one of their better pictures. But it

1199
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:03.159
<v Speaker 1>still was yeah, yeah, yeah.

1200
01:02:05.239 --> 01:02:09.079
<v Speaker 3>The Red Sox did not feel as bad about Bayou.

1201
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:12.400
<v Speaker 3>There was a there was a postgame interview where someone

1202
01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:14.199
<v Speaker 3>asked him if they viewed him as a starter. I

1203
01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:18.599
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you guys saw this. BeO had a translator,

1204
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:20.440
<v Speaker 3>and that translator earned his pay.

1205
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I saw that.

1206
01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Because BeO was used it particularly strong said language about

1207
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:36.920
<v Speaker 3>his opinion about that question, and the translator mitigated bo, Yes,

1208
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:39.599
<v Speaker 3>it was. BeO is still a starter. He'll be a

1209
01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:45.280
<v Speaker 3>starter in triple A. He boy, I mean fat, like

1210
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:48.119
<v Speaker 3>at least fought is like he's got a great slider,

1211
01:02:48.199 --> 01:02:50.199
<v Speaker 3>and he also has not reached to count where he

1212
01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:52.639
<v Speaker 3>can throw it. He's like throwing it seven percent of

1213
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:54.480
<v Speaker 3>the time because he just basically.

1214
01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Never at least, I think these are so similar I

1215
01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:00.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know to projection the entire time.

1216
01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:04.800
<v Speaker 3>But but the like if from from a numbers standpoint, yes,

1217
01:03:04.880 --> 01:03:08.920
<v Speaker 3>from from like a stuff standpoint, Fat is more boring

1218
01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:13.440
<v Speaker 3>as far as his his profile goes. He's just a

1219
01:03:13.519 --> 01:03:16.320
<v Speaker 3>conventional four pitch starter with a fifth pitch that's better

1220
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:18.960
<v Speaker 3>than his four pitches. But he can't throw it Bao,

1221
01:03:19.199 --> 01:03:21.880
<v Speaker 3>like does not have a fastball at all. No, he

1222
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:23.360
<v Speaker 3>cannot throw a fastball.

1223
01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>And like he got five last year was because Lucas

1224
01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>Giolito was there to give him Grez Bryce Elder situation,

1225
01:03:33.039 --> 01:03:35.119
<v Speaker 1>but without a fastball.

1226
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:38.159
<v Speaker 3>And he's basically been a sinkerballer that you know, like

1227
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:40.760
<v Speaker 3>singer ballers can just do that, right, singer ballers can

1228
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:43.360
<v Speaker 3>just get ground balls and just have the ballspit hit

1229
01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:45.239
<v Speaker 3>to a fielder and you get sick away with it.

1230
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:47.239
<v Speaker 3>But they were. He was not getting away with it

1231
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:49.480
<v Speaker 3>this year. He's not even getting ground balls on anymore.

1232
01:03:49.639 --> 01:03:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Like you know your sinker is bad when it's not

1233
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:54.639
<v Speaker 3>even you can't even keep the guy keep the ball

1234
01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:58.920
<v Speaker 3>on the ground. Uh, and like there is no like

1235
01:03:59.079 --> 01:04:03.079
<v Speaker 3>there's no path forward for that. Uh. But also he

1236
01:04:03.199 --> 01:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>can't like Bill can't hit a location right, like if

1237
01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:10.960
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna be that kind of picture, you gotta you

1238
01:04:11.159 --> 01:04:14.079
<v Speaker 3>gotta hit your spots. You've got to keep the ball down.

1239
01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:16.719
<v Speaker 3>You've got to like find a corner.

1240
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:17.079
<v Speaker 1>Like you gotta.

1241
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:19.599
<v Speaker 3>If you're gonna be Wade Miley, you've gotta be Wade Miley.

1242
01:04:19.719 --> 01:04:23.000
<v Speaker 3>And he was not pulling that off. He was leaving

1243
01:04:23.400 --> 01:04:26.840
<v Speaker 3>up into the middle way too much. He has to

1244
01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:29.400
<v Speaker 3>figure out how to throw a strike before he could

1245
01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:34.559
<v Speaker 3>be allowed back up. Jeff, you put jonahsong more eloquently

1246
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:36.920
<v Speaker 3>than I could, so I'll let you describe that situation.

1247
01:04:37.639 --> 01:04:39.639
<v Speaker 3>He had been less of a less of a content

1248
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:40.559
<v Speaker 3>as a.

1249
01:04:40.599 --> 01:04:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Bolt guy just because they need bolt guys and they're

1250
01:04:46.840 --> 01:04:49.519
<v Speaker 2>on again off again relationship with both David Peterson and

1251
01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Shaan and Ia was off for a few weeks.

1252
01:04:51.920 --> 01:04:52.079
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1253
01:04:52.599 --> 01:04:55.440
<v Speaker 2>He came up two okay outings. His last outing was

1254
01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>not good. He in that they lowered his arm angle

1255
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:02.679
<v Speaker 2>little bit and he's shown flashes of like a sweepier,

1256
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:07.599
<v Speaker 2>harder kind of slurve pitch and then just would not

1257
01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>throw it in the majors and was leaning more on

1258
01:05:10.079 --> 01:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>his shitty cutter along with the fastball and change. And

1259
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:17.760
<v Speaker 2>at this point, like they need to as thrilled as

1260
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.639
<v Speaker 2>I am to have him in the season fifty consideration. Again,

1261
01:05:22.639 --> 01:05:25.440
<v Speaker 2>they need to just get him in triple A throwing

1262
01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:28.239
<v Speaker 2>something east west before he comes back up again, and

1263
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:33.440
<v Speaker 2>like Peterson and Manaya are in over the next couple

1264
01:05:33.480 --> 01:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>of months, not likely to be any better or worse

1265
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:38.400
<v Speaker 2>than Tongue. So for the long term planning here.

1266
01:05:42.239 --> 01:05:46.679
<v Speaker 3>Chacob Lopez, I got to uh, this is more just

1267
01:05:46.800 --> 01:05:50.280
<v Speaker 3>like a state of the Athletics. Savarino's on the IL,

1268
01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:54.159
<v Speaker 3>civil as on the ILE. I'm actually, you know, I'm

1269
01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:57.199
<v Speaker 3>just gonna drive harder Civilly.

1270
01:05:57.519 --> 01:05:57.679
<v Speaker 1>Just that.

1271
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:04.920
<v Speaker 3>They are there. Their rotation right now is Springs, Jin Perkins,

1272
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:08.599
<v Speaker 3>I like Perkins, I like Perkins, h Gage jump and

1273
01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:09.519
<v Speaker 3>then Kate Morris.

1274
01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they just called it another former Mets. Yeah, sort

1275
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:18.400
<v Speaker 2>of pitching perspect Yeah fine, he's like a back end

1276
01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:20.519
<v Speaker 2>of the rotation, pitch di versification guy.

1277
01:06:20.719 --> 01:06:23.760
<v Speaker 3>Like it does not seem like he's probably not in

1278
01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:24.199
<v Speaker 3>that park.

1279
01:06:24.320 --> 01:06:28.159
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, yeah, I tried something, try a different Jacob Lopez.

1280
01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:33.119
<v Speaker 3>Sure, yeah, we need variety sometimes, uh. TJ Friedel got demotive,

1281
01:06:33.519 --> 01:06:38.480
<v Speaker 3>you got sent down for for a Newelvie Marte Again,

1282
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:39.039
<v Speaker 3>the Reds.

1283
01:06:39.119 --> 01:06:40.639
<v Speaker 2>Time to turn it down at this point, it feels

1284
01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:41.440
<v Speaker 2>like he's been around forever.

1285
01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know, he's only you think he's in first

1286
01:06:43.239 --> 01:06:45.280
<v Speaker 3>year ARB yeah or something. He was making like three

1287
01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:50.559
<v Speaker 3>and a half million. Uh yeah, the Reds. It's time

1288
01:06:50.679 --> 01:06:54.280
<v Speaker 3>for my step forward, for Noelvie Marte yeah, to come

1289
01:06:54.360 --> 01:06:59.440
<v Speaker 3>to fruition. And lastly, Stephen Mattz Yeah, got sent to

1290
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:03.000
<v Speaker 3>the bullpen. Even though like the athletics, you're like, okay,

1291
01:07:03.079 --> 01:07:04.280
<v Speaker 3>but who's starting?

1292
01:07:04.400 --> 01:07:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Mason Englert Apparently Jeff was.

1293
01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>You weren't on yet Patrick. Jeff was legitimately looking this.

1294
01:07:10.480 --> 01:07:15.599
<v Speaker 2>Up, well the level of Johnson, but it's the level.

1295
01:07:15.440 --> 01:07:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Of disgust when we got to Mason.

1296
01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Englerd like, I don't like, it's just I don't know.

1297
01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know Mason Englert was on the race. So

1298
01:07:21.639 --> 01:07:24.039
<v Speaker 2>there was that realization and there was like the of

1299
01:07:24.159 --> 01:07:26.599
<v Speaker 2>course he is, and then there was the of course

1300
01:07:26.639 --> 01:07:31.119
<v Speaker 2>he is, and he's starting for the race. Yeah yeah, yeah.

1301
01:07:32.440 --> 01:07:34.920
<v Speaker 3>The same number of Walks's home runs allowed, which is

1302
01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:36.480
<v Speaker 3>half good.

1303
01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he might be pitching as an opener because

1304
01:07:40.440 --> 01:07:43.360
<v Speaker 2>he's but they might just they stretched out Griffin jack

1305
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:43.960
<v Speaker 2>so who knows.

1306
01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Griffin Jackson is like, yeah, they don't. They don't

1307
01:07:46.400 --> 01:07:50.840
<v Speaker 3>have the bullpen to pull off openers for very long. Yeah, well,

1308
01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:55.599
<v Speaker 3>at least their bullpen at Stephen Matson in Yeah, Stephen

1309
01:07:55.679 --> 01:07:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Maats can be the book perfect. There's a Stephen Matt's

1310
01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:02.119
<v Speaker 3>size hole in this in this pitching staff, and Steven

1311
01:08:02.159 --> 01:08:07.320
<v Speaker 3>Matts is here to fill. I I don't think. I

1312
01:08:07.400 --> 01:08:09.440
<v Speaker 3>don't disagree with the move. I think Matts is better

1313
01:08:09.519 --> 01:08:11.360
<v Speaker 3>in the bullpen. You just have to have enough.

1314
01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Guys.

1315
01:08:11.760 --> 01:08:12.440
<v Speaker 2>We also knew that.

1316
01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:14.960
<v Speaker 3>I think knew that when you signed to be a starter.

1317
01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it never made right, it never made sense. Yeah,

1318
01:08:18.199 --> 01:08:20.239
<v Speaker 1>it was these teams.

1319
01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:24.399
<v Speaker 3>They get so proud of themselves, like they they they's

1320
01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:28.479
<v Speaker 3>so there's so much faith, so much uneared confidence. People

1321
01:08:28.520 --> 01:08:32.239
<v Speaker 3>need to earn for the like and certainly with in

1322
01:08:32.279 --> 01:08:32.640
<v Speaker 3>this case.

1323
01:08:32.760 --> 01:08:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, that's fair. I think it's it's like, you know,

1324
01:08:36.159 --> 01:08:39.319
<v Speaker 1>you've run into the immovable object that it's Stephen Matt's guys, like,

1325
01:08:39.800 --> 01:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>it's it's you just have to be cognizant.

1326
01:08:41.960 --> 01:08:44.319
<v Speaker 2>That is again, you choose, you chose to get.

1327
01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:47.239
<v Speaker 3>The sun.

1328
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:49.319
<v Speaker 2>It's like no, they like you're looking at it like

1329
01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:51.239
<v Speaker 2>this wasn't gonna fit in the doorframe. We try to

1330
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>get at home, but then we're gonna We're gonna do

1331
01:08:52.920 --> 01:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>our best.

1332
01:08:56.720 --> 01:08:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Oryce Lewis uh slugged nine hundred a Yeah.

1333
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:02.159
<v Speaker 1>He hit a home run every day, like.

1334
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:12.359
<v Speaker 3>Ten home runs in fifteen games. Jesus, and they wasted it,

1335
01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Like Lee royce Lewis was feeling good that week and

1336
01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:21.079
<v Speaker 3>they just wasted it. He's coming back, He's he was

1337
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:24.439
<v Speaker 3>playing second, was it was it? I heard rumors that

1338
01:09:24.520 --> 01:09:29.159
<v Speaker 3>he was moving around, like they've moved Berksley over the third.

1339
01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1340
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:35.359
<v Speaker 3>So I'm not sure where they're playing. I mean, Louis

1341
01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:38.760
<v Speaker 3>who Luke Keisham has been playing second. I don't know if.

1342
01:09:39.840 --> 01:09:45.279
<v Speaker 1>Playing second is like, yeah, he attends, he attempts second face.

1343
01:09:46.159 --> 01:09:47.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a weird roster.

1344
01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:49.079
<v Speaker 2>It's a weird ta It is a very Yeah.

1345
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Where's the hold on?

1346
01:09:51.960 --> 01:09:52.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

1347
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Hold on? We get the defensive lineups.

1348
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:57.319
<v Speaker 3>There's a lot of platooning going on for no real game.

1349
01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:03.199
<v Speaker 1>Tristan Gray and Ryan Kridler and Orlando Orcia are the

1350
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>most recent shortstops.

1351
01:10:05.399 --> 01:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Kler is garge somehow consistently.

1352
01:10:10.359 --> 01:10:11.039
<v Speaker 1>At third base.

1353
01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:18.159
<v Speaker 3>Roycelwis started at first base yesterday, sure, Uh, and second

1354
01:10:18.239 --> 01:10:23.920
<v Speaker 3>base the game before Cody fertility guy in they're they're

1355
01:10:24.000 --> 01:10:24.560
<v Speaker 3>just the utility.

1356
01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:28.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he can stretch and he's like Josh Bell

1357
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:30.880
<v Speaker 2>has been really bad and like dhing, like they can

1358
01:10:31.000 --> 01:10:37.399
<v Speaker 2>just d h him to move Brooksley back to shortstop whatever.

1359
01:10:37.840 --> 01:10:41.760
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't Yeah, like weird that they don't just use

1360
01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Brooksley a short stop. I don't know, this team is

1361
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:50.439
<v Speaker 3>not good enough to have this many and also does.

1362
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah also then feel like they're they've transitioned to like trying.

1363
01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know Walker Jenkins is hurt and Emanuel

1364
01:10:56.720 --> 01:11:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Rodriguez is hurt, like but like as is there want

1365
01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:05.359
<v Speaker 2>and like but like it there's seven I know there

1366
01:11:05.399 --> 01:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>are seven games on there, which is only three out

1367
01:11:06.840 --> 01:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>of a wildcard spot. But they're not like they're not

1368
01:11:09.439 --> 01:11:10.640
<v Speaker 2>it's not going to happen for them.

1369
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Maybe maybe the thing with Royce Lewis is that like

1370
01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:15.800
<v Speaker 3>we got to figure out where to play him, Like

1371
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:22.239
<v Speaker 3>I guess the bother he's just why spend all this

1372
01:11:22.439 --> 01:11:24.560
<v Speaker 3>energy on this when we're just gonna have to fix things?

1373
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:26.039
<v Speaker 3>And again it's also not.

1374
01:11:26.119 --> 01:11:28.079
<v Speaker 1>That Brooksly is a great short stop, but like why

1375
01:11:28.119 --> 01:11:31.159
<v Speaker 1>are you like you can't hit? Yeah, so why is

1376
01:11:31.199 --> 01:11:32.159
<v Speaker 1>he your third basement?

1377
01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and Tristan Gray not. Can someone great push everyone

1378
01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:40.720
<v Speaker 3>out of the way for him?

1379
01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:42.399
<v Speaker 1>Can Byron Buxton?

1380
01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Free Byron Buckston, I trade cla.

1381
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I know, only tell them listen. I know, I

1382
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>said for life. But also.

1383
01:11:53.960 --> 01:11:56.399
<v Speaker 3>It's been Austin Martin by the way, in case you

1384
01:11:56.439 --> 01:12:00.239
<v Speaker 3>were wondering back down to two forty seven three what you.

1385
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Said, yeah, it was. Yeah, and it's just the regular

1386
01:12:03.920 --> 01:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>right fielder.

1387
01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, too, but again because the manual Rodriguez and Walker Jenkinson, he.

1388
01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:12.159
<v Speaker 1>And Brooksley both have ninety one ops pluses and are

1389
01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:14.359
<v Speaker 1>just the regular third baseman and right fielder.

1390
01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:17.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess I forgot. They're just keeping short

1391
01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:22.680
<v Speaker 2>stop open for honing, right, Culpepper. It's Kayalen Culpepper, not

1392
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Case Cunningham, who I looked at.

1393
01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:27.199
<v Speaker 1>I knew I was going to screw that up. I

1394
01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:27.680
<v Speaker 1>really did.

1395
01:12:28.399 --> 01:12:31.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Kayleen Culpeper is hitting two sixty five through seventy one,

1396
01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:34.520
<v Speaker 2>four ninety one in Triple A with an not quite

1397
01:12:34.600 --> 01:12:38.119
<v Speaker 2>as good fourteen home runs in fifty six games. That's right,

1398
01:12:39.439 --> 01:12:40.239
<v Speaker 2>it's so pretty good.

1399
01:12:40.279 --> 01:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>It's good.

1400
01:12:40.800 --> 01:12:46.600
<v Speaker 3>It's pretty good, though, it is pretty good. Patrick was

1401
01:12:46.640 --> 01:12:51.880
<v Speaker 3>this you did, probably mid Kepler Kepler.

1402
01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>That's good. The Donalds Tunbacks have agreed to a deal

1403
01:12:56.920 --> 01:13:01.039
<v Speaker 1>with mid Kepler. The most bad part of this deal

1404
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>to me is and I saw this on a screenshot,

1405
01:13:03.600 --> 01:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>so I'm not sure where it's from. I think it

1406
01:13:05.199 --> 01:13:11.239
<v Speaker 1>was from uh from MLB trade rumors, but I don't

1407
01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:13.399
<v Speaker 1>know for sure. I'm basing that off a font. I

1408
01:13:13.520 --> 01:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>might not have it correct that MLB and and MLB

1409
01:13:19.039 --> 01:13:20.920
<v Speaker 1>worked out a deal with Kepler. And I'm guessing his

1410
01:13:21.039 --> 01:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>representation that while he's suspended for performance enhancing drug right,

1411
01:13:27.039 --> 01:13:30.640
<v Speaker 1>I believe that's the eighty game suspension. M hm, he

1412
01:13:30.800 --> 01:13:36.600
<v Speaker 1>is serving that suspension despite not being associated with any team, right,

1413
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:44.680
<v Speaker 1>which I don't still understand how this is suspension.

1414
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:46.520
<v Speaker 3>I think it's I think he's just he is still

1415
01:13:46.560 --> 01:13:49.880
<v Speaker 3>a Philly in spirit, and I think that the Philadelphia

1416
01:13:49.880 --> 01:13:52.359
<v Speaker 3>a Phillies have had Max Kepler all year and they

1417
01:13:52.439 --> 01:13:55.039
<v Speaker 3>just didn't realize it. It was just part Just like

1418
01:13:55.279 --> 01:13:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Clupouse seems off. I mean, Max Keppler's not here, but

1419
01:13:58.119 --> 01:14:00.800
<v Speaker 3>there's something. There's like a Max Kepler hinge to the

1420
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:06.399
<v Speaker 3>air his presence. You can't get it out for breeze.

1421
01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Like on one level, this like this was going to

1422
01:14:08.920 --> 01:14:10.520
<v Speaker 2>end his career because no team was going to pick

1423
01:14:10.600 --> 01:14:10.880
<v Speaker 2>him up.

1424
01:14:10.920 --> 01:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>To the point, I.

1425
01:14:17.560 --> 01:14:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Don't know what the point is to make it look

1426
01:14:19.560 --> 01:14:21.960
<v Speaker 2>like they're doing something in terms of Hermit's enthancing drugs

1427
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:22.359
<v Speaker 2>in the game.

1428
01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:24.399
<v Speaker 3>There have been guys.

1429
01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:28.159
<v Speaker 1>Does that not be like the head on the spike

1430
01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:30.359
<v Speaker 1>that says, don't do this?

1431
01:14:30.680 --> 01:14:32.600
<v Speaker 2>If you think that would be Henry Mahea, but he

1432
01:14:32.680 --> 01:14:34.239
<v Speaker 2>also got reinstated at one point.

1433
01:14:34.479 --> 01:14:39.800
<v Speaker 1>If you're but like, don't do this, if you're Max Kepler,

1434
01:14:40.239 --> 01:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>is it is not worth it?

1435
01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:44.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean some of the it's just driving.

1436
01:14:44.800 --> 01:14:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Right.

1437
01:14:45.359 --> 01:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>He had been on a two year deal instead of

1438
01:14:47.239 --> 01:14:50.439
<v Speaker 2>a one year deal, right, like you would have Well, again,

1439
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:51.359
<v Speaker 2>that's the that's.

1440
01:14:51.279 --> 01:14:56.079
<v Speaker 1>The point he arguably right, he took it to try

1441
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:59.319
<v Speaker 1>and get the two year deal short and this is

1442
01:14:59.720 --> 01:15:03.640
<v Speaker 1>not and it's not worth it. It don't don't do that, yeah, right,

1443
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:07.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I'm not trying to beat your cronian,

1444
01:15:08.159 --> 01:15:10.119
<v Speaker 1>but it does. It doesn't make sense to me.

1445
01:15:10.239 --> 01:15:12.199
<v Speaker 3>I get that he's like served the suspension in that,

1446
01:15:12.359 --> 01:15:15.920
<v Speaker 3>like he hasn't played this season or whatever, but then

1447
01:15:16.600 --> 01:15:18.520
<v Speaker 3>I think you need to whatever.

1448
01:15:18.319 --> 01:15:20.760
<v Speaker 2>You're Yeah, I mean if he's not. He's technically not

1449
01:15:20.880 --> 01:15:22.760
<v Speaker 2>in the union right because he's not under contract with

1450
01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a major league.

1451
01:15:23.960 --> 01:15:25.960
<v Speaker 1>He just fully out of the union. That can't be right.

1452
01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what that he doesn't have.

1453
01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the.

1454
01:15:29.439 --> 01:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Rules are as a free agent, but I.

1455
01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Just I think you gotta change like it needs to

1456
01:15:36.279 --> 01:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>them be like you're not suspended, you just forced to

1457
01:15:38.960 --> 01:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>miss games. I don't know, I don't know. It's weird.

1458
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>It's maybe that's a stupid distinction, I guess, but like,

1459
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's very weird for me. And also

1460
01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:50.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, is Max step We're gonna.

1461
01:15:50.000 --> 01:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Help the Diamonds, well, not for another twenty games and

1462
01:15:54.680 --> 01:15:55.640
<v Speaker 2>maybe not for after that.

1463
01:15:55.920 --> 01:16:02.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's weird. I mean I understand like

1464
01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:04.439
<v Speaker 3>they have Corbyn Carroll and not much else in the

1465
01:16:04.680 --> 01:16:05.279
<v Speaker 3>in the outfield.

1466
01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, Ryan Walshman has been fine. They've

1467
01:16:08.600 --> 01:16:13.279
<v Speaker 1>been playing Tommy Troy out there. He's been fine. Uh,

1468
01:16:13.560 --> 01:16:15.960
<v Speaker 1>they did we we don't have this on here, Jeffrey,

1469
01:16:16.039 --> 01:16:18.039
<v Speaker 1>but they did right after you did a kind of

1470
01:16:18.199 --> 01:16:21.359
<v Speaker 1>catch all. These guys aren't getting call ups like call

1471
01:16:21.479 --> 01:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>up articles, but they are. They deserve mentioned. They called

1472
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:26.039
<v Speaker 1>up lou James Groover.

1473
01:16:27.680 --> 01:16:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they need another infielder, like, where's he?

1474
01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

1475
01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, Aldemar Vargas got absolutely trucked by Maxim Yes, and.

1476
01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Also made a bad decision.

1477
01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:44.960
<v Speaker 1>You need it, he should have made a business decision.

1478
01:16:49.319 --> 01:16:51.960
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, fair enough. Yeah, I like Groover a little bit.

1479
01:16:54.039 --> 01:16:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Primary DH this season, per Baseball Reference, has been Adrian

1480
01:16:58.479 --> 01:17:01.359
<v Speaker 1>del Castillo, who yeah, a fifty eight ops plus So

1481
01:17:01.399 --> 01:17:04.439
<v Speaker 1>they might just need a bat. Ye, they've been playing

1482
01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Jorge Barossa a lot. I don't know. Maybe you get Tommy, Yeah,

1483
01:17:07.600 --> 01:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know, Yeah, Tommy Troy peven

1484
01:17:09.720 --> 01:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Smith just came back to He's been awful.

1485
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:11.640
<v Speaker 3>But.

1486
01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:17.479
<v Speaker 2>Has been better, even though the Diamondbacks can about him

1487
01:17:17.479 --> 01:17:17.920
<v Speaker 2>in the press.

1488
01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:23.760
<v Speaker 3>I gotta tell you, man, I don't He is truly underrated.

1489
01:17:24.000 --> 01:17:27.079
<v Speaker 3>When it comes to when when a guy gets a

1490
01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:27.800
<v Speaker 3>hold of one.

1491
01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Holy ship, there is there is. Look, obviously we talked

1492
01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:39.880
<v Speaker 1>about we mentioned Otani and uh Al Jordan Alvarez this podcast. Obviously,

1493
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:41.239
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Schwarb or whatever.

1494
01:17:41.239 --> 01:17:42.159
<v Speaker 2>M and Arrow is one to.

1495
01:17:42.880 --> 01:17:48.000
<v Speaker 3>Kimano is absolutely absolutely one, but like for for a

1496
01:17:48.199 --> 01:17:53.680
<v Speaker 3>second baseman, especially when when Kateell Marte gets one. It

1497
01:17:53.880 --> 01:18:03.600
<v Speaker 3>is I mean detonation, Like he absolutely annihilated a Tanner

1498
01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:04.319
<v Speaker 3>Scott pitch.

1499
01:18:05.720 --> 01:18:07.319
<v Speaker 1>There's a walk off the Dodgers.

1500
01:18:07.479 --> 01:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's an old like soccer cliche that he's not

1501
01:18:09.880 --> 01:18:12.880
<v Speaker 2>a he's not a great goal scorer, but he's a

1502
01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:15.279
<v Speaker 2>great scorer of goals, like the goals he scored like that.

1503
01:18:15.840 --> 01:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But he also is great, right, like to tell me

1504
01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:20.119
<v Speaker 1>home run, but yeah for home runs.

1505
01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Not a great home run here, but the home runs

1506
01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:22.279
<v Speaker 2>he hits are great.

1507
01:18:22.359 --> 01:18:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, it's a little I mean, there's some jazz jazz

1508
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>can do this too, but I he hits it so

1509
01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:31.680
<v Speaker 1>god damn it. I actually almost said, like you wouldn't

1510
01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:33.880
<v Speaker 1>necessarily expect it based on the numbers, but he just

1511
01:18:33.960 --> 01:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>really But then I looked and it's like he maxes

1512
01:18:35.920 --> 01:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>one seventeen one most yeries. He crushes the ball. Man,

1513
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I I love.

1514
01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Max do not for don do not do not?

1515
01:18:46.560 --> 01:18:48.800
<v Speaker 1>But man, so yeah, Lujan screw would you have anything

1516
01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:50.279
<v Speaker 1>you want to Yeah, Like he's.

1517
01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:53.920
<v Speaker 2>A hit, it's not a ton of he doesn't hits

1518
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>the ball hard, but doesn't lift it a ton you know,

1519
01:18:56.680 --> 01:18:58.840
<v Speaker 2>but again interesting like a useful cornerbat.

1520
01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I think, Yeah, in in Cubs news, Jameson Tyne removed

1521
01:19:07.840 --> 01:19:08.640
<v Speaker 3>in the second inning.

1522
01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:12.359
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't going that well? It was a.

1523
01:19:12.399 --> 01:19:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Hamstring, right, I think, yeah, hamstering hamstring injury.

1524
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Look, in a lot of ways, this would be considered

1525
01:19:19.880 --> 01:19:26.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe a blessing in disguise. Jameson Tyne has been real

1526
01:19:26.119 --> 01:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>bad the Cubs.

1527
01:19:29.079 --> 01:19:31.680
<v Speaker 2>I think you still need you need a body.

1528
01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:38.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well look, yeah, who finally can like stay in

1529
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:41.600
<v Speaker 3>one house for a week because I feel like he's

1530
01:19:41.640 --> 01:19:44.560
<v Speaker 3>been demoted and called up like seven or eight times

1531
01:19:44.600 --> 01:19:45.279
<v Speaker 3>already this year.

1532
01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, they can only do it five times in a season,

1533
01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:50.159
<v Speaker 1>feels like seven or eight times.

1534
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:59.000
<v Speaker 3>I know, is Asad worse than Jameson ty maybe doesn't

1535
01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:04.359
<v Speaker 3>strike as many batters, but like I don't know. No, Well, okay, look,

1536
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:06.520
<v Speaker 3>if you just want to go on, Javier Sad has

1537
01:20:06.520 --> 01:20:08.560
<v Speaker 3>a four point three seven fifth and Jameson Tian has

1538
01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:09.399
<v Speaker 3>a six point three one.

1539
01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, fair enough.

1540
01:20:11.079 --> 01:20:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Jameson Tyne has allowed twenty home runs.

1541
01:20:14.720 --> 01:20:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Shota in Monaga has not allowed the most home runs

1542
01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:20.840
<v Speaker 1>in this rotation. Right, that's a problem.

1543
01:20:22.640 --> 01:20:25.119
<v Speaker 3>With an extra million innings to boot, right.

1544
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Right, you have your side. I'm not saying is any

1545
01:20:29.359 --> 01:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>great shakes here, sure, probably better than Jamison Tion, probably

1546
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:39.239
<v Speaker 1>all the problem. Yeah, and like the bullpen has been

1547
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:45.479
<v Speaker 1>a decent strength, but they keep pulling from the bullpen.

1548
01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:49.159
<v Speaker 1>Right Ben Brown is now starting, He's been very good. Yeah,

1549
01:20:50.399 --> 01:20:51.159
<v Speaker 1>he's got a sinker.

1550
01:20:51.279 --> 01:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, might be time to make a Might be time

1551
01:20:54.000 --> 01:20:55.600
<v Speaker 2>to try to make a trade for a picture.

1552
01:20:56.319 --> 01:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, The question is like, who's trading pictures right now?

1553
01:20:59.680 --> 01:20:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Right?

1554
01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:02.199
<v Speaker 3>You know who?

1555
01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Who are you able to get at this? I meant,

1556
01:21:07.319 --> 01:21:09.359
<v Speaker 1>do you think the Angels are trading redetmvers right now?

1557
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1558
01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:10.840
<v Speaker 2>They might as well.

1559
01:21:11.720 --> 01:21:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what the Angels should do and we are doing,

1560
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:17.760
<v Speaker 1>are right, never really aligned?

1561
01:21:17.880 --> 01:21:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Mister Beast would make this trade.

1562
01:21:19.359 --> 01:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Craig want to float the rumor?

1563
01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.159
<v Speaker 2>Then this is just a tweet some dude on Twitter

1564
01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:27.520
<v Speaker 2>to the room we're going around at a minor league

1565
01:21:27.560 --> 01:21:29.520
<v Speaker 2>game that mister Beast wants to buy the Angels.

1566
01:21:29.479 --> 01:21:32.119
<v Speaker 1>And has been wanting to for several years.

1567
01:21:34.359 --> 01:21:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Look, if there's any organization slash baseball team that fits

1568
01:21:39.520 --> 01:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the mister Beast millieu, it is the Los Angeles Angels

1569
01:21:42.560 --> 01:21:43.039
<v Speaker 2>and Anaheim.

1570
01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, I don't know. Again, I think this might

1571
01:21:47.920 --> 01:21:49.079
<v Speaker 1>end up being in that upgrade.

1572
01:21:49.800 --> 01:21:50.800
<v Speaker 2>It might be, it might not be.

1573
01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:52.399
<v Speaker 1>It's not enough though, Like you're still gonna have to

1574
01:21:52.399 --> 01:21:54.399
<v Speaker 1>figure out the bullpen after it, because it's again you're

1575
01:21:54.479 --> 01:21:55.720
<v Speaker 1>pulling guys out of there to what.

1576
01:21:55.720 --> 01:21:57.279
<v Speaker 2>Are they I can't even keep track there. And fourth

1577
01:21:57.359 --> 01:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>right now they're behind the Pirates they are.

1578
01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:01.239
<v Speaker 1>And fourth they're tied.

1579
01:22:01.359 --> 01:22:04.199
<v Speaker 2>They're tired for the Pirates. The Cardinals had the seven.

1580
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Cardinals took two of three. So now there're seven games

1581
01:22:06.399 --> 01:22:07.439
<v Speaker 2>over again or whatever it is.

1582
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>The Cardinals are seven games over.

1583
01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:12.479
<v Speaker 2>Again, and they're also playing the Mets this week, so

1584
01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:13.119
<v Speaker 2>that might go up.

1585
01:22:15.680 --> 01:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Please continue not looking at the Mets.

1586
01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's fine. You you do not want to watch

1587
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:22.159
<v Speaker 2>the Mets. You don't want to watch It's like Dustin

1588
01:22:22.239 --> 01:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>may Andre Payante and.

1589
01:22:24.920 --> 01:22:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, speaking of pictures, you should.

1590
01:22:28.119 --> 01:22:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Stream Andrea and your fantasy league because always kills the Mets.

1591
01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:33.560
<v Speaker 1>But speaking of pictures, you might not want to look

1592
01:22:33.600 --> 01:22:37.760
<v Speaker 1>at directly. Kyle Frielan sets the Colorado Rockies innings pitched

1593
01:22:38.600 --> 01:22:39.600
<v Speaker 1>starting pitching.

1594
01:22:40.039 --> 01:22:42.199
<v Speaker 2>This both shocked me and then five seconds later made

1595
01:22:42.239 --> 01:22:42.760
<v Speaker 2>perfect sense.

1596
01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Yea, I go to say this is not surprising to me.

1597
01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:49.039
<v Speaker 3>No, you know who had the record before. Right, No,

1598
01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:52.239
<v Speaker 3>you don't, because I feel like like I have been

1599
01:22:52.439 --> 01:22:53.760
<v Speaker 3>surprised by the guys.

1600
01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Literally like they like John Gray. I guess he was

1601
01:22:56.119 --> 01:22:56.680
<v Speaker 2>hurt too much.

1602
01:22:56.840 --> 01:23:00.600
<v Speaker 3>No, no, John Gray was unfortunately hurt too much. It

1603
01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:04.640
<v Speaker 3>is Aaron Cook Cook, and it's just like, yeah, exactly.

1604
01:23:04.720 --> 01:23:08.439
<v Speaker 3>You hear Aaron Cook okay, and then and you're like, okay,

1605
01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:12.199
<v Speaker 3>Kyle Freelan, will be you reacting to Aaron Cook for

1606
01:23:12.319 --> 01:23:14.239
<v Speaker 3>the next ten years, right, well, I was.

1607
01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>It was I was gonna say, like Ubaldo or something.

1608
01:23:19.159 --> 01:23:22.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, although interestingly the only guy in the top twenty

1609
01:23:22.479 --> 01:23:25.000
<v Speaker 3>with any are able of four as a Rocky he's in.

1610
01:23:25.000 --> 01:23:25.479
<v Speaker 1>The top twenty.

1611
01:23:25.520 --> 01:23:30.960
<v Speaker 2>It was good how many or hey dayla Rossa and

1612
01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:31.399
<v Speaker 2>forty one?

1613
01:23:31.720 --> 01:23:33.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was fourth. Well there's you know, there's a

1614
01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:35.439
<v Speaker 3>bunch of people think Jeff Francis is fifth.

1615
01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Jeff right again along with Aaron Cook.

1616
01:23:39.039 --> 01:23:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Just right.

1617
01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, Rockies really have not. I might have been

1618
01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:45.920
<v Speaker 1>of Jeff Francis when you said Aaron.

1619
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:52.000
<v Speaker 2>Jeff, I'll never find out and Aaron Cook. We're definitely

1620
01:23:52.079 --> 01:23:52.800
<v Speaker 2>comparing notes.

1621
01:23:53.680 --> 01:23:56.840
<v Speaker 3>The thing is like almost all almost all these guys

1622
01:23:56.920 --> 01:23:59.800
<v Speaker 3>at one point had some amount of shine either shine,

1623
01:24:00.119 --> 01:24:02.119
<v Speaker 3>real shine, or well he's.

1624
01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:05.000
<v Speaker 2>A Rocky, but you know, and then the Rockies just

1625
01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:05.840
<v Speaker 2>keep those guys first.

1626
01:24:06.079 --> 01:24:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Cook never, Aaron Cook was just like he is fine,

1627
01:24:11.560 --> 01:24:13.800
<v Speaker 3>over and over and over again, like and he did it.

1628
01:24:13.960 --> 01:24:17.239
<v Speaker 3>He lived, He survived that place for like what ten years.

1629
01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:20.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna jump to our

1630
01:24:20.079 --> 01:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>next segment, which is what to watch, and I want

1631
01:24:22.479 --> 01:24:26.039
<v Speaker 1>to jump straight into our last two segments on or less.

1632
01:24:26.079 --> 01:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Two sub heading's on around the Horn were the Rockies

1633
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:33.119
<v Speaker 1>and the Cubs, which brings us to Sicicos.

1634
01:24:33.279 --> 01:24:38.319
<v Speaker 2>Jeff, this is yeah, yeah, man, yeah no. The way

1635
01:24:38.439 --> 01:24:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Greg put it and I think is accurate. Like, the

1636
01:24:40.840 --> 01:24:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Rockies win two games here, the Cubs.

1637
01:24:45.840 --> 01:24:48.199
<v Speaker 1>I still believe in the Cubs. But like I think,

1638
01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:53.239
<v Speaker 1>if the Rockies win to two games here, the Cubs

1639
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:54.359
<v Speaker 1>are in trouble.

1640
01:24:54.760 --> 01:24:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think it's fair to.

1641
01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:58.039
<v Speaker 1>Say the Cubs are in trouble anyway.

1642
01:24:58.359 --> 01:25:00.399
<v Speaker 2>But like and from like the sis point of view,

1643
01:25:00.479 --> 01:25:02.880
<v Speaker 2>it's in Colorado and the Cubs can hit, obviously, right,

1644
01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.800
<v Speaker 2>these these might be well, they can hit, they can hit,

1645
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:12.760
<v Speaker 2>don't recently they don't Colin Ray against Tommy Saganos. Let's

1646
01:25:12.760 --> 01:25:17.560
<v Speaker 2>start the fireworks early showed Managa, who who will give

1647
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:22.800
<v Speaker 2>up a home runner too season against Michael Lorenzen.

1648
01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but honestly, how many of these Rockies pitchers will

1649
01:25:28.359 --> 01:25:29.479
<v Speaker 3>be Cubs pitchers?

1650
01:25:29.880 --> 01:25:33.359
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, and then I could see the last one,

1651
01:25:33.520 --> 01:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the best and also worst matchup of the three, Ryan

1652
01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Feltner against Edward Kerburer.

1653
01:25:38.800 --> 01:25:39.920
<v Speaker 3>It is absolutely the best.

1654
01:25:40.199 --> 01:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Ryan Feldner could be a future Cubs absolutely it does.

1655
01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:47.079
<v Speaker 3>It just feel like these guys all feel like August

1656
01:25:48.039 --> 01:25:48.399
<v Speaker 3>the Cubs.

1657
01:25:48.479 --> 01:25:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I think the Cubs could could pick up Feldner and

1658
01:25:51.279 --> 01:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and Lambert. Also you go to call Houston up for Lambert.

1659
01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Also that all these Cubs hitchers of a future Rockies

1660
01:25:57.359 --> 01:25:59.800
<v Speaker 2>as well. So that's true, It's just different.

1661
01:26:00.640 --> 01:26:04.800
<v Speaker 3>I think, like the water swirling in the stream.

1662
01:26:06.079 --> 01:26:08.119
<v Speaker 1>All right, elsewhere I want to watch, I'll I'll go.

1663
01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:12.359
<v Speaker 1>I took Philly and Toronto. I keep picking Toronto. I apologize,

1664
01:26:13.039 --> 01:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know it's I've said this before. Toronto and

1665
01:26:17.159 --> 01:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>and Philly is some of my favorite like aesthetic matchups

1666
01:26:19.960 --> 01:26:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and a Toronto Yeah exactly, I think I think it

1667
01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:26.960
<v Speaker 1>should be a decent series. And on top of that,

1668
01:26:28.439 --> 01:26:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I did this is a phenomenalist uniform, like the way

1669
01:26:31.960 --> 01:26:35.239
<v Speaker 1>then they're very different obviously, and and I just I

1670
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:38.000
<v Speaker 1>love both these uniforms. I like the presentation. I don't

1671
01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:40.520
<v Speaker 1>know Crup wasn't I tuned into a couple of Phillies

1672
01:26:41.079 --> 01:26:43.960
<v Speaker 1>uh broadcasts recently, and that that Padre series Cruck wasn't in.

1673
01:26:44.039 --> 01:26:46.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping he'll be back. I love that. And also

1674
01:26:46.319 --> 01:26:49.399
<v Speaker 1>like Dan Schulman on the on the Toronto broadcast, So

1675
01:26:50.319 --> 01:26:54.520
<v Speaker 1>you're good anywhere you go. I did not look at

1676
01:26:54.560 --> 01:26:58.840
<v Speaker 1>the particular matchups to see a couple, but there's a couple.

1677
01:26:58.680 --> 01:26:59.479
<v Speaker 2>Of interesting ones.

1678
01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Uh you get let's see on Wizard overs TBD.

1679
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Jays Wheeler Verse TVD. The Jays uh are

1680
01:27:14.159 --> 01:27:18.840
<v Speaker 2>in flux and Liizard Overse, Zard Overse TBD, Wheeler Verse TBD.

1681
01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:23.359
<v Speaker 2>And I gonna I'm gonna guess, Oh yeah, because it's

1682
01:27:23.520 --> 01:27:24.920
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a weird inner League.

1683
01:27:25.119 --> 01:27:29.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, it's today. It's it's uh today, Christopher Sanchez

1684
01:27:29.439 --> 01:27:30.600
<v Speaker 1>versus versus Pat Corbyn.

1685
01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so the two best lefties in baseball going

1686
01:27:33.399 --> 01:27:34.560
<v Speaker 2>at it exactly.

1687
01:27:35.079 --> 01:27:37.079
<v Speaker 1>And by the time people listen to this, it'll it'll

1688
01:27:37.239 --> 01:27:37.960
<v Speaker 1>it'll be too late.

1689
01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:44.119
<v Speaker 3>But nevertheless, Patrick, all right, Well I went with Himbo

1690
01:27:44.199 --> 01:27:48.079
<v Speaker 3>baseball last time, and that resulted in uh Zach Lttel

1691
01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:53.359
<v Speaker 3>and Foster Griffin one running the Iam Max. Uh So

1692
01:27:54.039 --> 01:27:56.880
<v Speaker 3>this time I'm gonna go with a more traditional one.

1693
01:27:56.920 --> 01:27:59.720
<v Speaker 3>Then just do Brave White Sox. I mean, we've we

1694
01:27:59.840 --> 01:28:01.920
<v Speaker 3>all we you know, we've talked about the White Sox

1695
01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:03.600
<v Speaker 3>playing in the past. This is a good time to

1696
01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:06.359
<v Speaker 3>watch the Braves. They're good. It's it's they've been doing

1697
01:28:06.399 --> 01:28:08.039
<v Speaker 3>it long enough themis We'll just enjoy it.

1698
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>They're both over five hundred. Get Sam Antonacci into your life.

1699
01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:16.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there you go. The pitching matchups should allow that

1700
01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:18.840
<v Speaker 3>offense to take place. You're gonna get your martin Paris.

1701
01:28:18.880 --> 01:28:21.399
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna get your grand homes. Grand homes will pitch

1702
01:28:21.640 --> 01:28:23.840
<v Speaker 3>and you will constantly be like, who's pitching?

1703
01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Well you I think you can recognize on sight, like.

1704
01:28:28.199 --> 01:28:33.239
<v Speaker 3>There, but it's like, you know, anytime there's episode down,

1705
01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:39.199
<v Speaker 3>what's happening here? So it should be good, solid games.

1706
01:28:40.039 --> 01:28:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Jeffrey, I went Dodgers Pirates to save Craig from picking pirates.

1707
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Uh, it's a. It's a it's a bad set of

1708
01:28:47.159 --> 01:28:48.399
<v Speaker 1>games for this Friday.

1709
01:28:48.479 --> 01:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>It is you do get a Tani against Jarry Jones

1710
01:28:50.720 --> 01:28:53.680
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, which should be a lot of fun, and.

1711
01:28:53.880 --> 01:28:56.199
<v Speaker 1>You get Skis versus lower Onto.

1712
01:28:56.239 --> 01:29:00.960
<v Speaker 2>It is a different kind of fun like the Pirate.

1713
01:29:01.039 --> 01:29:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't know Brandon lau Is, not that we didn't

1714
01:29:03.359 --> 01:29:06.279
<v Speaker 2>put this on the run down around the Horn, but

1715
01:29:06.319 --> 01:29:08.079
<v Speaker 2>it's going to miss like two months with a he

1716
01:29:08.279 --> 01:29:09.680
<v Speaker 2>fractured his knee hitting them.

1717
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:13.119
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I didn't know that, but I also I just

1718
01:29:13.359 --> 01:29:16.359
<v Speaker 3>last podcast was like, Brandon laud does get hurt all

1719
01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:16.880
<v Speaker 3>the time.

1720
01:29:19.279 --> 01:29:21.239
<v Speaker 2>And he has Yeah, that's what.

1721
01:29:21.479 --> 01:29:22.439
<v Speaker 1>He broke his knee.

1722
01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I think he fractured his knee.

1723
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Cap Like, is it like the was it you said about?

1724
01:29:29.000 --> 01:29:30.640
<v Speaker 1>So it's the Christian Yelich situation.

1725
01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I kind of like that.

1726
01:29:32.039 --> 01:29:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh that sucks.

1727
01:29:34.039 --> 01:29:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get the exact injury here. He I'm the

1728
01:29:42.079 --> 01:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>last thing he avoided anything serious. Oh yeah, but they

1729
01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:51.680
<v Speaker 2>were worried initially because he suffered a fractured right It's

1730
01:29:51.760 --> 01:29:54.479
<v Speaker 2>what I was reading. He fractured his right potilla. So

1731
01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:57.479
<v Speaker 2>he fine, you'll see Brandon law probably Oh he navigate

1732
01:29:57.560 --> 01:29:59.840
<v Speaker 2>some soreness injuries.

1733
01:30:00.279 --> 01:30:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well but he still does get hurt all the time. Yeah,

1734
01:30:07.039 --> 01:30:08.800
<v Speaker 1>he tested negative for a fracture.

1735
01:30:09.359 --> 01:30:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess the last time he did this, he fractured

1736
01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:12.079
<v Speaker 2>his name. Maybe that's what I saw.

1737
01:30:13.479 --> 01:30:16.479
<v Speaker 3>Well, good, that's I I guess there's a reason I

1738
01:30:16.560 --> 01:30:20.880
<v Speaker 3>missed that. Yeah, anyway, that takes us to our game.

1739
01:30:22.439 --> 01:30:24.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think it might be a Blake Bevian autograph.

1740
01:30:24.680 --> 01:30:27.840
<v Speaker 3>But the thing is, did Blake Bevin turn the ball

1741
01:30:27.920 --> 01:30:28.399
<v Speaker 3>upside down?

1742
01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:30.479
<v Speaker 1>He did he sign? The game?

1743
01:30:30.680 --> 01:30:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Is ken?

1744
01:30:31.159 --> 01:30:32.039
<v Speaker 1>We identified these?

1745
01:30:32.880 --> 01:30:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Did he sign it first? And then everyone else just

1746
01:30:35.319 --> 01:30:36.119
<v Speaker 3>signed the other way?

1747
01:30:36.720 --> 01:30:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Like Bevin looked weird? Honestly, I think everyone else signed

1748
01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:41.399
<v Speaker 1>it in Blake Bevan. You know who knows?

1749
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, all right, the

1750
01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:46.680
<v Speaker 3>game is AKA. It's been a while. I don't know

1751
01:30:46.720 --> 01:30:51.079
<v Speaker 3>how we're gonna do on this one. We'll see, because like,

1752
01:30:51.760 --> 01:30:54.279
<v Speaker 3>just because I don't always recognize everyone doesn't mean you won't,

1753
01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:58.119
<v Speaker 3>which is why I try to. I try to give

1754
01:30:58.119 --> 01:30:59.479
<v Speaker 3>you guys the benefit of the doubt. But you know,

1755
01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:02.439
<v Speaker 3>in my just go badly. I was also really having

1756
01:31:02.439 --> 01:31:04.920
<v Speaker 3>a hard time with sourcing on this one. Just a

1757
01:31:05.079 --> 01:31:08.039
<v Speaker 3>bunch of nicknames that I could not find any evidence

1758
01:31:08.039 --> 01:31:10.680
<v Speaker 3>as to why they were called that. So that doesn't

1759
01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:13.479
<v Speaker 3>make me feel super confident. All right, so our first one,

1760
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:15.479
<v Speaker 3>slug O.

1761
01:31:17.479 --> 01:31:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I've definitely heard this one.

1762
01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:26.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I will say that the man's name, you would

1763
01:31:26.479 --> 01:31:30.399
<v Speaker 3>think that somebody named Slugo would not have a career

1764
01:31:30.439 --> 01:31:32.119
<v Speaker 3>four twelve slugging percentage.

1765
01:31:32.359 --> 01:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Just based on that. I had a name in mind,

1766
01:31:34.079 --> 01:31:35.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just gonna go with it.

1767
01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Austin Slater No, okay, Uh, definitely heard this one before.

1768
01:31:42.319 --> 01:31:43.479
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've heard it too, but.

1769
01:31:43.760 --> 01:31:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I just keep going on.

1770
01:31:44.800 --> 01:31:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I will say one hundred and four ops plus higher

1771
01:31:48.039 --> 01:31:50.760
<v Speaker 3>than I thought it would be. Like I thought this

1772
01:31:50.880 --> 01:31:52.720
<v Speaker 3>guy was a bad offensive player. He was not a

1773
01:31:52.760 --> 01:31:53.720
<v Speaker 3>bad offensive player.

1774
01:31:53.720 --> 01:31:57.039
<v Speaker 2>And it's Don Slot Yeah, okay, okay, yeah he was.

1775
01:31:57.159 --> 01:31:58.920
<v Speaker 3>He was apparently a decent hitter for most of his career.

1776
01:31:59.039 --> 01:32:01.199
<v Speaker 3>Is just kind of a he was really like.

1777
01:32:01.279 --> 01:32:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't have gotten there.

1778
01:32:02.920 --> 01:32:08.239
<v Speaker 3>No, personally, the part time catcher before part time catcher

1779
01:32:08.319 --> 01:32:10.279
<v Speaker 3>is really a thing. He would just was worth two

1780
01:32:10.279 --> 01:32:14.560
<v Speaker 3>wins a year every year because games is onslaught with

<v Speaker 1>You know, should should have been.

1798
01:33:17.159 --> 01:33:22.000
<v Speaker 3>There, honestly, because there, I mean right there. Well, Slaughter

1799
01:33:22.319 --> 01:33:25.640
<v Speaker 3>might be the most forgettable Hall of Famer embarrassing. I know.

1800
01:33:25.760 --> 01:33:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I always remember him because like I had a book

1801
01:33:28.159 --> 01:33:32.279
<v Speaker 2>of like some baseball it wasn't an encyclopedia like baseball stories,

1802
01:33:32.600 --> 01:33:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and there was one about like Eno Slaughter's mad dash

1803
01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:35.239
<v Speaker 2>in it.

1804
01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's that. I'm glad he has a mad dash.

1805
01:33:39.000 --> 01:33:41.239
<v Speaker 3>It feels like not that I like from.

1806
01:33:41.119 --> 01:33:43.159
<v Speaker 2>First on a single in the World Series, which is

1807
01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:44.880
<v Speaker 2>that he was running with the pitch, which is the

1808
01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:45.920
<v Speaker 2>thing that happens a few times.

1809
01:33:45.920 --> 01:33:49.600
<v Speaker 3>AG's cool. I dont feel like, you know, Slaughter has

1810
01:33:49.640 --> 01:33:52.159
<v Speaker 3>a lot of things attached to him. Yeah, so I'm

1811
01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:54.319
<v Speaker 3>glad he asked one, because I couldn't have named anything

1812
01:33:54.359 --> 01:33:55.319
<v Speaker 3>else that, you know, slaughter did.

1813

1820
01:34:23.760 --> 01:34:27.920

1853
01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.159

01:39:35.840 --> 01:39:39.600
<v Speaker 3>from that. All right. No guesses on that one. That

1898

<v Speaker 1>Oh all right. The last I almost had his last name.

1900
01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:50.119
<v Speaker 3>In second to last one. This one's a special case

1901
01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:54.239
<v Speaker 3>because this nickname has been disbanded. The player who had

1902
01:39:54.319 --> 01:39:57.960
<v Speaker 3>it decided he did not want to have anymore. Uh,

1903
01:39:58.199 --> 01:40:02.560
<v Speaker 3>it is the Executioner. Oh fucking sorry, Yeah, that's correct.

1904
01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah he did, I remember that because he disavout Mexico. Yeah,

1905
01:40:10.239 --> 01:40:11.960

1906
01:40:12.039 --> 01:40:14.199
<v Speaker 3>with one left, So congratulations to Craig. That means we

1907
01:40:14.239 --> 01:40:15.800
<v Speaker 3>don't have to have a fight over this last one.

1908
01:40:16.439 --> 01:40:24.119
<v Speaker 3>The last one is Lafierra, yeah, which it is long,

1909
01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:26.119
<v Speaker 3>So good job, Craig. You didn't have to go to

<v Speaker 3>Childish Membino, which was really.

1911
01:40:28.840 --> 01:40:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Would have been bad if I lost that one.

1912
01:40:32.560 --> 01:40:36.000
<v Speaker 3>All right, Yeah, Craig with an easy win.
