Devers loves SF, Padres/Dodgers BEEF, Castellanos trouble, Rays sale

00:00:00
Speaker 1: Can they say it's so hard to hit a guy. I'm like, you can throw a strike.

00:00:03
Speaker 2: Down and away like.

00:00:04
Speaker 1: Nine out of ten times, but you can't hit a guy. I can do is like move it over a little bit.

00:00:08
Speaker 2: They're like, it's so hard.

00:00:12
Speaker 3: No promises, but we're not going to talk about the Red Sox as much today, more about the Giants.

00:00:19
Speaker 1: The Red talks at all after their performances. Fight. No, don't say maybe they should have maybe they should have kept ever so they could score a run.

00:00:27
Speaker 3: Actually, you know what that reminds me because I don't think we'll have time for this later in the show. Who's the MLB home run leader right now? Cal cal Raley hell Rally, grand slammer and fun fact, he stole his eighth base already, so I think he's on pace for twenty big dumper twenty stolen base pace and eight stolen bases is the franchise record for stolen bags by a catcher, previously set by I'll give you a hint. He's still in with the.

00:01:00
Speaker 2: Orgil his manager.

00:01:04
Speaker 3: Fun fact, you like that good? It's a neat story, yeah, Cal? And rowdy with stolen bags? I think rowdy. Do you know how many. He has eight year career. Do you want to guess I think I know.

00:01:20
Speaker 2: That I'm going to say four.

00:01:24
Speaker 3: I believe that he has five, but let me double check to confirm here live and it is five. So you guys were one up, one down. Good job anyway, Before we get the top story, foul. Territory shop dot com has a lot more to offer than it used to. So, in case you haven't given it a look, baseball the way it should be, covered shirts, a variety of cups, hat stickers, the lightweight hoodie that was heavily recommended by many of you out there. You even got the Beatie, but give it a look. About territory shot dot com. There's fair territory gear. The Met Show has gear. The Dodger Show I was watching last night at one thirty in the morning, it was their own gear. Yeah, Dodger Show was lit last night. If you just want some entertainment for half hour, go check that out. They were They were trash talking the Padres to the highest degree.

00:02:25
Speaker 2: Really. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a Homer show.

00:02:29
Speaker 4: It's a Homer Homer show. And they know that the Padres are good. They know the Padres could could de thrown them, so they just feel a little bit.

00:02:38
Speaker 1: More on edge. The Padres are starting to lose steam a little bit, Darvish and King back and yeah they're they're.

00:02:48
Speaker 3: The Yankees are losing steam right now too. I just don't they'll bounce back. I think they're a good team.

00:02:54
Speaker 1: The Yankees just can't score a run. They need Aaron judge. You get some hits, because if you don't hit, they don't.

00:02:58
Speaker 3: Score exactly, which will tell talk about later too. Let's start with everyone's favorite name in baseball this week, Charge the Mountain Time Charge. I'll play anywhere. Raffie Devers is a San Francisco giant. He was smiling as he's walking through with the Piro smoke whatever into the ballpark, the organization there supporting him, clapping. I'm sure there have been conversations already with Buster Posey and company. And then of course he says the famous quote, I'm here to play wherever they want me to play. Is he not going to be a man on fire, you would hope.

00:03:42
Speaker 5: So.

00:03:43
Speaker 1: I love that he got Barry Bonds walking him into the clubhouse. I mean, he got everybody, got all the big dogs out there. That's what happens when you're a star and you get traded and they expect you that they want you to be comfortable and they want you to hit, and they treat you right.

00:03:56
Speaker 2: M how he wanted to be.

00:03:59
Speaker 4: This is the his his intro there on the Orange carpet. That's how he wanted to come into the reds the Red Sox clubhouse or wait no, that's how the Red Sox thought.

00:04:08
Speaker 2: He wanted to be.

00:04:09
Speaker 4: All he wanted was be talked to tell what's going on. He didn't want a grand entrance. Giants are like, hey, we'll give you a grand entrance. You don't get a you don't get the starting d H for the American League, traded to your team in June.

00:04:23
Speaker 2: That often you might as well pull out all the stops.

00:04:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, and from what I recall, they generally hold on to franchise players.

00:04:33
Speaker 1: You go there and do them right and treat them right and play good and win the World Series. They usually keep you around. Brandon Crawford, Brandon Bell, Linscomb, all those cozy poesy I mean obviously, but I mean Pence and all those guys they signed deals because they helped them well, Bumgardner and then they let walk, which is surprising.

00:04:53
Speaker 3: Well they waited, Yeah they did, they did, but then the next go round they didn't all the and fairness, they were roll off the map. So sometimes you know, I mean, same thing with Linscom. People were calling for that for a while and he fell off the map too. Pitching a little bit.

00:05:09
Speaker 2: Caane they kept around them.

00:05:10
Speaker 3: Matt Caine, they kept around. Yeah, Logan Webb is locked up long term right now. So I'm watching the Giants last night, and I'm going I'm ditching all these other games to watch the Giants. I haven't done that very often in the last few years. The Giants, I think in twenty twenty three, when our show launched, might have been the most boring team in baseball, right, very five hundred ish, very platoonish, very I don't know the names. Twenty three was Gabe, right, Gabe and Farhun, and then last year Farhun's still leading the pack. Very analytical we get.

00:05:45
Speaker 1: Because everything went perfect, yes twenty one twenty one and they won the division and they lost to the Dodgers in the postseason, Like we can do this every year. Doesn't work like that. It's so hard to catch platoon magic every year because every he has to. Every single person has to have a great year, every guy. If you're doing it as much as the Giants did it then. And if you watch baseball now, teams are kind of they're not all going away from it. But the teams that have nine good players, they stick with their nine good players.

00:06:16
Speaker 3: Who did that too often a team that they know very well. And then they started acquiring superstars the Dogs punching them in the lineup every day.

00:06:25
Speaker 1: But the Dodgers still do it to an extent.

00:06:27
Speaker 3: But not like do you remember what they used to do?

00:06:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, but who was in charge?

00:06:33
Speaker 3: Gay Kapler one far On was there with Eaven far Hover together Freedman was like, screw it, let's just get superstars and put them in the lineup every day. Wait, hold up, krats, that's what Buster Posey is starting to do. It is summertime. We are in the thick of golf season. It's always golf season down in Florida, but we're in the thick of golf season across the country and someone's looking to get a new club. That logo should say it all p XG.

00:06:59
Speaker 1: What are they go get fitted? Go get fitted by one of their master fitters Professional fitters. I've done it. It's helped shave many strokes off my handicap. It is worth it. It's educational. You learn about not only clubs. You learn about chefs, You learn about grips, you learn about angles.

00:07:14
Speaker 2: They have all the.

00:07:15
Speaker 1: Numbers, all the setups that you need to help improve your handicap.

00:07:18
Speaker 3: You feel like a VIP when you're there, one hundred percent.

00:07:21
Speaker 1: They even help my putting, which needed help.

00:07:24
Speaker 3: There, They help your putting there there. That's how cool it is. So schedule you're fitting today and for a limited time you could save up to twenty percent on your entire order. Head over to PXG dot com slash foul. That's PXG dot com slash foul to save up to twenty percent on your entire order. P XG dot com slash foul. Restrictions apply see site for details. Now, Willia Domas is not off to a great start this year at a bad area yesterday too. But you know the names. You plug them in every day. Chapman will be back at some point, probably for the beginning of the second half for the season. You're starting to plug in consistency to this lineup.

00:08:04
Speaker 2: I get it.

00:08:04
Speaker 3: You want to have some left right action. Nobody's saying that you can't. But to have a full freaking hockey shift starting nine every day from a team is boring. It does not attract fans from an entertainment basis, and it generally hasn't produced wins. Most importantly, so my point was, I'm watching the Giants last night crats, and I'm like, they're relevant, they're entertaining, they're relevant, and we'll see what the results are on the field. But I think they're gonna be a better team with Raffi in the lineup.

00:08:31
Speaker 2: Sure, they're gonna be a better team. This lineup needed a boost.

00:08:34
Speaker 4: No better, no better person to get a boost than Raffie Devers.

00:08:38
Speaker 2: I mean that doubly hit.

00:08:40
Speaker 4: And then of course he comes up in a big spot late in the game gets a knock. But the reason you platoon, the reason you try to get those advantages, it's because you're trying to get the little things on the margins. If a team has an opportunity to start a guy one hundred and six games and have a OPS over eight hundred, you don't need to platoon him. You just need to throw him out there, make sure he's fine. And he doesn't need a day off, and you play him teams like the Giants who have the money and are willing to spend the money like you guys said on guys that you want to keep around, go out and get the players. Buster Posey has done that. He locked up Chapman's deal while Chapman was still there under far Han went out and got Willy went out and now he got Devers like guys that are going to play every day. You don't need to platoon to make your whole roster when you have cash to spend like the Giants.

00:09:42
Speaker 3: It's brilliant. And the Giants have been a little bro status lately. They were big bro for a while. They were the Dynasty.

00:09:52
Speaker 2: A long time ago.

00:09:52
Speaker 1: Long time done much since then. But what's been the kind of the common deme? They're trying to get too cute. They've tried to get too cute. I know they've tried to sign stars, but they haven't been able to. They staid they went on traded for one and have a choice, right, but they were trying to get they get they they tried to get cute. They you know, Farhan is really good at what he does and Gabe Kapler has this thing that he does too. But when you're competing against a team like the Dodgers and you all throw the Padres Manny Machado plays every day, Lisa Rice plays every day, the inner Boguards plays every day. For Nats plays every day, Jackson Marrow plays every day, Corona Worth plays every day.

00:10:26
Speaker 3: There's are basically whole line.

00:10:28
Speaker 1: There's seven of the nine or six of the six of the eight position players right lefty, righty, doesn't matter. They play the same guys. Look at the Dodgers show, Hey, Mookie will Smith, Freddie ta Oscar even months he plays against lefties.

00:10:41
Speaker 3: Actually, you know, the Padres tried to be cute with one position in the off season because they had to save money. They got rid of profile and they added Connor Joe and Jason Hayward to platoon. And that has been the biggest problem that they, you know.

00:10:56
Speaker 1: Has been great for him. Darry Bonds Gavin Chets is dairy Bonds as they call him. Do you know they call him dairy Bonds, dairy dairy bonds like cow like cow, dairy, like col dairy.

00:11:09
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

00:11:11
Speaker 1: I went up to him and I saw him in Milwaukee. I was like, oh, dairy Bonds. He just started a lot. He's like, I don't know, man, that's fun.

00:11:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:11:17
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm calling you that from now on because he's sounded a good year. Yeah, White Sox and he's hitting bombs.

00:11:25
Speaker 3: Is I'm just I'm happy for Giants fans. I think this is going to be really fun. They were bringing it last night with the ovations. Every ab that place was electric. They lost the game by a run to a decent Guardians team that had been struggling a lot. But things are changing quickly in San Francisco. Let's put it that way. This you need to win games, that's the most important thing. We also are watching to be entertained and to have an escape, and I just think that you need to keep that in mind as well. It is helpful to have some superstar plays. You know they're gonna be there. You buy the jersey, you know you're gonna go to the game and you're gonna see them.

00:12:05
Speaker 2: Right.

00:12:05
Speaker 3: The Jays did that with Laddie. That's why I had so much leverage against them. It's like, who's going to be that guy for you? I'm gonna give you the production and people are gonna want to come see me and buy my jersey. The Giants starting to build that here. Chapman's locked up long term. Devas are gonna be there for a long time. Adamis is obviously hopefully he recovers a little bit more.

00:12:25
Speaker 4: This team plays a lot, and I think historically, I think the Park probably doesn't. Also how they build a team. They play a lot of one run games. Raffie Devers can win you one run games. Raffie Devers on a team that is going to score like seven or eight runs and it's gonna be.

00:12:42
Speaker 2: A nine to eight loss. That's different.

00:12:45
Speaker 4: They're gonna play close games here, and you added Raffie Devers into that lineup, It's it's gonna be huge. I they may overtake the Padres before we know it.

00:12:57
Speaker 1: Well, they've already passed them in the standings right standing.

00:13:00
Speaker 3: Buster Posey said that they had been working on this trade for three to four weeks.

00:13:05
Speaker 1: See yeah, I mean, I guess, But how I mean, how is this not?

00:13:12
Speaker 2: Listen?

00:13:12
Speaker 1: Buster Posey's running a good organization because normally this would leak out from somewhere right Like, normally we would have heard something from somebody about this. Who else did they talk to? I want to know what the other teams are because they didn't just.

00:13:23
Speaker 2: Came out Giant.

00:13:24
Speaker 5: They came out phrase right, yep, blue Jays. Yeah, but they weren't going to deal him to the Blue Jays.

00:13:37
Speaker 3: The division thing was a factor. The Padres probably were talking about the money side of things, like to me, that might have been the conversation was aj Preller goes, hey, I'll take them. We can't take on this much salary this year. Can you eat a little. I'll give you Leo devriz Or one of their top prospects. And then it goes to Henry and he's like, nah, dumping whole contract, which that's their right, but that's where the owner is going to go on that they want to get rid of all of the money, especially on a deal that is a fine deal. We've got over this earlier. He's got like half the money left that compared to what Blad he's making, you can make comps with those two. Dever has been a better bat. Wadden is obviously playing in the field, although Devers is going to play first soon. I don't know if I mean he was not a good third baseman. Do you think he can be a below average first baseman? And by below average meaning like it's good enough to be out there, because there's others below average first basement he.

00:14:35
Speaker 1: Could play if he played third, he could play first. He might take him some time to figure it out, but yeah, mean you can play first at some point. And by the way, I did another I did a show this morning, a different show, and one of the guys on there said that he used to work at Fenway Sports Group and he said, basically, the Liverpool is the team that the Fenway Sports Group has invested heavily in. But now they have Liverpool Red Sox and the Penguin and they're lebron Is involved and they're looking to get an NBA team to Vegas. That's their focus right now, not the Red Sox, which to here is.

00:15:08
Speaker 3: Kind of shocking, meaning they're not giving as much love.

00:15:14
Speaker 1: They're not giving as much love to the Red Sox as they used to because remember when the Henry Bottom and they hadn't won in forever. They've won four World Series since he's been there. Oh whatever, we can do this anytime. We have a new focus now. So again, I don't know how true, it is, But I take this guy for his word because he's like you said, he used to work for Fenway Sports and he said he you know, he had heard things, so which.

00:15:40
Speaker 2: I mean, I trust the guy.

00:15:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine, he said it.

00:15:42
Speaker 2: He said it on the air.

00:15:43
Speaker 3: So the Socks are about the future right now. Again, that was the cell last year and now they're selling that again. They're about the future. So it's more about next year than this year. I'm serious. That's not even a joke. I'm serious. They said it's more about next year now than year.

00:16:01
Speaker 1: Here's the Red Sox. Every year should be about this year. You have the Red Sox. So we're not talking rips, but they're the Red Sox.

00:16:07
Speaker 3: Three years of this, I think more than that.

00:16:09
Speaker 1: They won an eighteen.

00:16:11
Speaker 3: Yeah's seven years ago.

00:16:12
Speaker 1: Okay, But then they traded Mooki in twenty before the COVID COVID, yeah or nineteen to twenty. Then they traded sale. They lost Bogerts, so it's been like we're rebuilding, We're rebuilding, rebuilding. Devors was supposed to be the face. That's why they signed him, and they trade him. So now they're rebuilding again. Right, But you're the Red Sox man. You know you shouldn't have to do this. I'm sorry.

00:16:32
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty one they were pretty good. They won ninety two games. They lost in the ALCS.

00:16:39
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but I worked twenty that's why.

00:16:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's the right. It's really the Postcrats are twenty twenty two seventy eight wins, twenty twenty three seventy eight wins, twenty twenty four eighty one wins, and this year they are one game over five hundred, so they're on a similar pace. It's a long time to be very mid. Yankee fans would earn down.

00:17:01
Speaker 2: Now.

00:17:02
Speaker 1: Red Sox fans keep showing up, keep watching on nesson.

00:17:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you wait for it, and now I've got it for you. Yankees scoring was go back to Thursday, one nothing win and then they haven't won since. They've scored one run, three runs, no runs, no runs, no runs. Judge's slumping.

00:17:25
Speaker 1: Judge is slumping. That's it. There's your there's your why they don't score.

00:17:29
Speaker 3: They're so Judge aligned.

00:17:31
Speaker 1: They don't have Soto that they had last year to help them. Look at the Red Sox series, they basically didn't score any runs in that series, and then the one run they did score off Crochet was a Judge homer. That's the only hit he got in that series. They didn't score any runs. Right now against the Angels, he's not hitting, they're not scoring any runs. So if I'm other teams, I'm like, this guy hit getting nothing to get everything.

00:17:56
Speaker 4: But they have a bunch of dudes that have decent, decent numbers. Their entire starting lineup the other day had above average OPS.

00:18:04
Speaker 2: Is anybody gonna win an MVP?

00:18:06
Speaker 4: No, Grisham eight hundred OPS, seven ninety six for ben Rice, Austin Wells a catching position is above average. Cody Bellinger seven forty seven. Like, a lot of guys are above league average OPS. So they're not just abysmal besides Judge.

00:18:28
Speaker 2: No.

00:18:28
Speaker 1: But I mean, here's the thing, Volpi, he has a seven thirty seven OPS, like, but he's hitting two thirty eight, right. I mean Austin wall is hitting two seventeen right as ops. Right, So they're all or nothing pretty much because they're hitting home runs.

00:18:44
Speaker 2: That's why their OPS is so high.

00:18:46
Speaker 3: Krat's real question for you. So I'm in arena club and I opened up a slab pack. I pulled a Wyatt Langford Auto rookie card. I got an immediate offer from Arena Club. I turned it down and it was in the mid three hundredths range. I've gotten a few offers since. Thoughts on white should I hold on?

00:19:06
Speaker 2: I saw it?

00:19:07
Speaker 4: I didn't see it when you ripped the pack, but it looks so sick with everything around and how it's spinning in your showroom. That John looked nice, But no, you shouldn't sell it. Maybe wait till he makes an all start or two and all of a sudden that three hundred goes up and you're going to get another instant offer right away on Arena Club.

00:19:26
Speaker 3: That's right, bye, sell trade. Slab packs are there for you two to rip a pack, and for me, I'm just leaving it in the showroom for now, deciding what I'm going to do with it. But if I did want to sell it, then I can get myself another slab pack or buy a card that I want to buy. Get twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase by going to Arena club dot com slash val use code fo U L my corner time. Wow, this might be happening might be happening. The Rays could get sold and it would be MLB's dream. They hate the race, true story. They have treated the Rays so differently from the A's the name of the front runner here, Patrick Zeleupski, Yeah, okay, there in advanced talks to sell the team to this Jacksonville developer rich Man signed a letter of intent to college. There there's a letter of intent. John Aman says one caveat. Such letters are non binding. Stu Sternberg, owner of the Race right now. It's come close to but pulled out of deals in the past. First reported advanced talks are Batt, Beadenhausen and Sashnik.

00:20:44
Speaker 1: It's more of a credit for advanced talks being reported because I reported this long time ago.

00:20:49
Speaker 3: You did one point seven billion dollars is the number, which I'm guessing is more than Stu bought it For the statement from the Race, the Rays announced that the team has recently commenced exclusive discussions with a group led by the Lepski and they threw some other names on there and Tampa Bay investors concerning a possible sale of the team. Neither the Race nor the group will have further comment. During the discussions. I think this is gonna happen.

00:21:17
Speaker 1: Do you uh, someone that knows Patrick, He's been trying to do.

00:21:22
Speaker 2: This for a while and tell us everything.

00:21:26
Speaker 1: But do you know, I can't tell you everything.

00:21:28
Speaker 3: Tell us as much as you can tell.

00:21:29
Speaker 2: He's been wanting to.

00:21:30
Speaker 1: Do this for a while, and he has been talking to them for a long time, and he's They've had a hard time getting Sternberg to agree to anything. And now just the fact that they got him to agree negotiate exclusively, I feel like it is a big deal.

00:21:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:21:48
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this has been something that's been on my radar for a while now. I think we kind of talked. I kind of hinted at this on the show a little bit. So listen, this is not a surprise to me, more like that it got announced because this has been going on behind the scenes. But now that it's got announce it's kind of a kind of changes things a little bit.

00:22:06
Speaker 3: Will they or will they go? I think they'll stay in Saint Peter Tampa.

00:22:11
Speaker 1: I think they're going to try to get them in Tampa. I don't know where or how. Again, I know they've had discussions. Again, I don't know everything.

00:22:17
Speaker 2: I know they've had.

00:22:20
Speaker 1: Discussions with the city of Tampa about plots of land in different places, not necessarily because they wanted them on the water, but not necessarily in the water. But I know that they want like a big chunk of land similar to the battery, one hundred acre ish plots of land. Okay, those are hard to come by, and then you got to put a stadium on top of it. But I think they would get to Tampa. My opinion, just from what I've heard, kind of kills the Orlando thing, which I get, but I think Tampa is where you kind of have to have them.

00:22:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, the whole Same Pete thing is they were going to give them more money than Tampa. But if you have a new owner in who's not as concerned about that, then he's going to put it in the place where it should thrive long.

00:23:07
Speaker 1: Put it in a place where it should work better, which if you've been to Tampa proper, like not Tampa Bay, Tampa Bay is Sarasota, Saint Pete, Clearwater, Tampa. That's I consider Tampa Bay. That's why they're called the Tampa Bay Rays. If you put it in Tampa proper, where Ama Lee Arena is where the Bucks play, where Steinbreder is, there's just it's just easier to get to. It's it's just there's a bigger population center there and if you go, if you've seen a Lightning game, they I mean, they sell it out every night.

00:23:33
Speaker 2: And they're also good.

00:23:35
Speaker 1: The Bucks do great Steinberger. We see the Rays are doing pretty good at Steinbrenner. I don't hear complaints about them like they do in Sacramento about them.

00:23:41
Speaker 2: Not drawing well.

00:23:43
Speaker 1: And I know people from Orlando go to the Raising games way more now because they don't have to go across the Causeway, which is another forty five minutes. Yeah, they're like, oh I get there in an hour to an hour and a half. That's way better than two to two and a.

00:23:54
Speaker 3: Half hours rush hour. You're saving an hour plus.

00:23:57
Speaker 1: Oh easily, right, easily.

00:23:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got hang on.

00:24:02
Speaker 4: I got a call from the Yes, mister Polad, Yes, no, I know I heard one point seven for the Rays. Oh you're asking more now one point nine? Okay, thank you. We'll let you know.

00:24:16
Speaker 3: Should the Twins be worth more? Also, the twins have a lot of debt. I will say there's some more complications there, they've taken on a lot more debt. I don't know how you know that factors.

00:24:25
Speaker 1: The reason the reason the Twins can sell for more is they have the stadium already there. The Rays have to find a stadium.

00:24:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big deal, right.

00:24:35
Speaker 1: It's kind of like the White Sox situation with the Iss. Are the White Sox worth more? Probably because they're in a bigger market, But you got to get a stadium at some point, and then that just adds to cost. And if you don't have that set up, the owner's got to find that money somewhere. That's like an extra two billion dollars.

00:24:54
Speaker 3: I think it's probably easier to find people in Tampa than it is Minneapolis.

00:25:04
Speaker 4: Think about think about like a battery type of thing in Tampa and how much more successful that's going to be year round, not just when baseball season's in in Minnesota.

00:25:18
Speaker 2: Like you're you're locked, You're you're you're locked in there. You have the stadium. I don't know.

00:25:26
Speaker 3: Well, the whole thing with Minneapolis was that they wanted to put it downtown. Yeah, and they did. They forgot to put a roof on it, which apparently couldn't do in that particular location, which I think is insanely dumb because the weather sucks there. But that's a whole nother story. Yeah, you have a chance though as an owner, right, and if you want to be an MLB owner, you got to have a lot of coin for this guy. He's going to put his own stamp on everything, right, this is going to change everything. And for MLB, I'm sure they're pumped for or Tampa. I'm sure they're pumped right, because you're going to bring someone in who's not going to well, I don't know the guy. I mean you do, I don't know the guy, but you're going to bring someone in who has a chance to actually build something special and not be so torn up with every penny and how much are we getting from Saint Pete versus Tampa and turning into all this bidding, Like, let's actually just try and make something that will work, because right now Miami and Tampa Bay have not represented well in MLB. I think that's an easy right, right, that they they can put a better product together. We see it the lightning habit, the heat habit, the bucks, the bucks habit, the magic even habit to an extent when.

00:26:43
Speaker 1: The Magic are good. It's there's no better place to go watch a yeah.

00:26:48
Speaker 2: Goody decent this.

00:26:50
Speaker 3: Year I went packed Vibe. Yeah, yes, it's it's Panthers.

00:26:57
Speaker 2: Florida. Florida.

00:26:59
Speaker 4: Flora wants to have professional sports teams and they want to feel to me part of the community. I don't know, and I think the Rays just don't do that. You don't go anywhere around the area and go whoa, yeah, I got to go to a Rais game, Like there's a lot of Rays regalia around.

00:27:18
Speaker 3: This. This gives someone a chance to change things, So I'm excited. We'll see what happens. It's a letter of intent. Duken back out. He's backed out of many things in the past, including stadium deals. Yes, but we'll see.

00:27:33
Speaker 1: But I think now I think there's pressure on him now to do this.

00:27:37
Speaker 2: The MLB.

00:27:39
Speaker 1: I think MLB is putting pressure on him a little bit behind the scenes. On Sternberg.

00:27:42
Speaker 3: Now, they're putting a lot of they we've basically seen reports like they're going after him.

00:27:48
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because he keeps this keeps happening, things keep falling through. He doesn't come follow through with this. He doesn't do this, I think more than what we're hearing though. I think they're kind of like, hey, it's time. Like you bought this team for like two hundred million, you can now sell for one point seven billion. It's time, dude. Yeah, take your money and run.

00:28:06
Speaker 2: Move on.

00:28:07
Speaker 1: We'll get somebody in here that will help us get to the next level in Saint Pete because Manford is dead set on keeping this team in Florida, whether it's Tampa, Saint Pete, Orlando, wherever it is. And also, right now, you have a governor in Disantas and this isn't political at all, but he's from that area. He wants that team there, and now is the time to strike. Well, he's still the governor and he can say he can help push some people along across the finish line.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right. That's how this works. You need a lot of people to be on the same page to pull things like this off. Gotta keep talking about the team when they're hot. One of the hottest teams in baseball right now is.

00:28:51
Speaker 2: Washington Nationals.

00:28:53
Speaker 3: How many for them now? Ten? Is it ten?

00:28:56
Speaker 2: Nine? Straight?

00:28:57
Speaker 3: Ten?

00:28:58
Speaker 1: And around they've lost ten or rough. The Rockies are hot as fire, right know, Rockies are just I mean, they're trying to get back in that race with the White Sox.

00:29:07
Speaker 4: They're as hot as the Red Sox. Let's put it that way. They're five hundred in their last fourteen games. The Red Sox are five hundred for their last three seasons. Yeah, but for the Rockies, seven and seven is a big number. Yes, And they could they could go back to back sweet pieces, right, you know the Marlins, and now they can sweep to that.

00:29:27
Speaker 3: There was a series in between.

00:29:28
Speaker 2: Now now they're still the beat the Braves two to three.

00:29:32
Speaker 3: Right.

00:29:35
Speaker 4: You know who's the most mad that they keep winning? Paedrickarfall most mad by far. He's like, they're gonna win more games than we did last year.

00:29:45
Speaker 2: Da go on it.

00:29:48
Speaker 3: And I do think we're in this anomaly era here where you're not going to see this level of futility for a while. You're gonna see terrible teams. But I'm saying last year the White Sox set the record. It is crazy that one year later you have another team that might set the lost record right after that. I don't think this is going to be something we're following on a yearly basis, like, oh, we got another team that might That's my point.

00:30:14
Speaker 1: So if the Rockies are anything nice, to check out my shirt. We can't get anything nice. What we set the lost record and the Rockies are trying to take that on them.

00:30:23

00:32:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said.

00:32:52
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

00:32:55
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

00:32:56
Speaker 3: That's what he said. Nick Castianos got removed a couple days ago from a game for defense. He said something to Rob Thompson, and Thompson sat him, akay, I mean it's a one game suspension. He sat him yesterday for what he called an inappropriate comment. Castianos said he wasn't pleased with being pulled from the game. Thompson said that he had crossed the line with whatever he said, and Castianos said, it's his decision. He's the manager. You know. Nick had a two hundred and thirty six games played streak, second longest active streak in MLB. That came to a close and for all you old school baseball fans out there. This is no Iron Man Cal Ripken streak, but it does mean something to a player to play every day. When you've got to thirty six in a row. There are so few that play every single day and put together solid production. Are Philly expert Aer Kratz your thoughts on all of this.

00:33:52
Speaker 4: I've been on all of it, two hundred and thirty six straight games starting, not just playing starting, So that's that's legit. Which talked about it earlier. Good players want to play every day. Good teams have guys that play every day. I don't know what he said. It may have been something about the fact that America was going to win the Stanley Cup and Edmonton the only shot for Canada to win the Stanley Cup wasn't gonna happen, and maybe the Canadian Rob Thompson got pissed. I don't know, but Nick's Nick and Rob have not always seen eye to eye. But Topper even said that. Topper said, you know what, one of the things I like about Nick is his emotion. He crossed the line. Everybody's got a line, this one. He crossed it this time.

00:34:43
Speaker 2: But what did he say?

00:34:44
Speaker 1: What can he possibly say that would have made Rob Thompson that man, why the heck did you take me out of the game? Skip?

00:34:51
Speaker 2: Like?

00:34:52
Speaker 1: Did he call him a name? Did he insult them? Did he say a bad word?

00:34:57
Speaker 3: What?

00:34:58
Speaker 1: What he what could possibly say the word? Rob Thompson was like, we're not starting wrow and by the way, we got our asses skifed. Also they did the Phillies. Here's my only I know. But what could he possibly have said that would have made him dismount? Where you don't start the guy?

00:35:15
Speaker 3: I ask you, guys, I don't know. I play it, like, what do you think would set the tone? Like, you, guys, tell me Kratz the word is you. If you say you to the umpire, you're out right. So what is it to the manager that gets some sat.

00:35:28
Speaker 4: I hope nobody cuts this incorrectly because it could be taken wrong. But Topper is very a very humble guy. He's very like I bet it would be really tough to say something that would hurt his feelings. My fear is that Nick said something about one of the other players, like let's say, let's say you could come out of the game, you don't want to come out of the game, and you say something like we're putting this idiot in the game, or we're putting like if he said something degrading about another player, I could see Topper saying I see Topper saying that, like, no, no, we're not gonna do that. We're not gonna degrade other people. If he like makes fun of a coach or like yells at a coach like, who's this idiot?

00:36:10
Speaker 2: Take it?

00:36:11
Speaker 4: Did he make you take me out? Or something like that, a player says something to me like I hate you, You're the worst. It's like, all right, fine, like you came out of the game. I would hate it if you came over to me and I'm like, oh, I'm out of the game.

00:36:22
Speaker 2: High five.

00:36:24
Speaker 4: Like I have a hard time believing he said something about Topper or one of his coaches that made him, that made him take him or made him sit him the next day.

00:36:37
Speaker 3: I'm bad enough that it wouldn't just be a warning. Or maybe there had been past comments.

00:36:43
Speaker 1: I don't know, Oh yeah, there had to be more to it. This couldn't have been the first time, right, because there's no I don't know what you can because no matter how mad you are in a moment and you say things. Everyone said something in their life where they're like, man, I probably shouldn't have said that, some of us more than others. But in a baseball game and in a baseball setting, people say stuff all the time and they're like, dud. They just have word vomit or whatever they comes to their head, they just vomit it out. And then five minutes after the game is over, you sit down and you think about it, and you go into the managers obviously say you know what, Skip, I'm sorry, I apologize, and you're like, okay, I forgive you. Don't let it happen again. So this maybe wasn't the first time something had happened again.

00:37:25
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:37:26
Speaker 1: We're not there, and nobody seems to talk about it. Nobody's talking about no.

00:37:30
Speaker 3: But that is the question, and I don't think it was asked Kratz. I didn't catch every back and forth with reporters with Nick and Topper, But the key question is was there a past incident with words exchanged, Because to me, that helps tell the story because often that is the case, it might not be. And then if that's if there wasn't anything in the past that led up to this, and you could debate if it was really worth it and why the message was sent with him saying, Hey, let's cool off, let's apologize to those that need the apology, and then let's move on and get you back in the lineup.

00:38:07
Speaker 4: Hey, Jay, how many times did you ever yell at a coach on the bench? I mean, per season, how many times I yell at a coach? I didn't, ye, I didn't yell at coaches very often.

00:38:19
Speaker 2: I was.

00:38:20
Speaker 1: I wasn't that guy. I wasn't a Now there was times where I would go in their office and we'd have a conversation, but I wouldn't you usually wouldn't. Yet, I mean, I can't. I can only remember one or two times where I was like, all right, I've I've I said something to a coach I probably shouldn't have said. But usually I didn't do it in front of people, because I don't believe in fighting battles in the newspaper, and I don't believe in fighting battles that people need to know about it. I'd go and have a conversation, but I it was the only I can only think of one time where something happened with me and a coach, and that where I was like, this isn't the way things should be handled. Other than that, I mean, it wasn't. It wasn't very often. I didn't see it happen very often. I didn't see many players yell coaches. And I mean I saw you know, guys every once in a while, but it wasn't like a daily occurrence.

00:39:06
Speaker 2: Pitching coach.

00:39:07
Speaker 4: Pitching coach comes up to you is like, hey, j why'd you why'd you call slider right there?

00:39:12
Speaker 2: Dude hit a homer on it.

00:39:14
Speaker 4: You never you never told him, Hey, you want to you want to call the pitches like you want to call it?

00:39:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I also have a really good relationship.

00:39:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:39:22
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I was very lucky. Very few cod pitching coaches that I played with ever came up to me and said that. Don Cooper did it to me one time, and I said, if you want to call the pitches, great, But we had had conversations before and he said, and I said, if you want to call the pitches, call him. He goes, no, it's too much pressure. I said, Okay, that's all I needed to hear.

00:39:39
Speaker 2: Thank you.

00:39:39
Speaker 1: I'll go back to doing my job.

00:39:40
Speaker 2: Now, right, And we moved on.

00:39:42
Speaker 1: We moved on from there, right, But it was this wasn't ever like, it wasn't a disrespectful thing.

00:39:47
Speaker 2: It was just like, hey, if you want to do this, I'm open to you doing it.

00:39:50
Speaker 1: But I mean, I've seen players and coaches get into it obviously, right, But I don't know. I just don't know what you could say that you would have to be bench the next day. I just don't know what it would be that you wouldn't go in and apologize for.

00:40:05
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:40:05
Speaker 3: I'm not you.

00:40:06
Speaker 2: I'm not creative enough to come up with a reason or a thing.

00:40:10
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like it had to be beyond just cursing him out right, That's what I'm saying, Like if you just said like you bleep and bleep like okay, But.

00:40:21
Speaker 1: Again, I don't I get I don't know this. But to me, this doesn't seem like a one time thing because again, I played with guys that have done stuff and they don't and they make mistakes and they throw something and it hit somebody, or they do something and it leads to something. But you see the first time the manager's like, okay, dude, that's it. You got your one, don't let it happen again. If it happens again, then something happens, right. It usually doesn't happen on the first time. And I'm not saying that's what happened here, but it had to be something really and and and I don't know Nick Castiano is that great other than we've had him on here and I've talked to him when I've seen him, but he didn't seem like a guy to go after a teammate and call like some teammate like, why.

00:40:57
Speaker 2: Do you kill this guy in for me? Right?

00:41:00
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.

00:41:00
Speaker 1: It had to be something like where he just kept saying to Topper, why you keep taking me out of the game in the night thinning for defense?

00:41:06
Speaker 2: What I could play defense? You don't think I can play defense? Right?

00:41:10
Speaker 1: And finally Topper was like enough, and the Phillies haven't been playing great, so I mean, there's probably a lot happening there.

00:41:15
Speaker 3: And Nick Castillanos, he's one of the worst defensive outfielders in baseball. It's true during the regular season, at least, you know, he's a little better in the playoffs. He even says that himself. But front offices us defensive metrics and the eye test I mean defensive metrics. He's in negative eight outs above average, which is one percentile. The Phillies aren't wrong for taking them out for defense.

00:41:40
Speaker 1: Many guys Swarber used to get taken out for defense, Yeah, Benny, guys got taken I got taken out for defense one time, and I did lose in my mind, but I was gone. Oh it was the last It was the last game of the year. I was with the Giants. I got taken out for the second last game. Yeah, if Felipe Olus managed, we were winning three to nothing, takes me out. He takes our short stop out for defense of purposes, and we lose the game on a Steve Finley grand slam walk off his famous Dodger game to thineteen two thousand and four, and then we and then we lost the playoffs by one game.

00:42:10
Speaker 2: I'm like, why did you take me out? And our shortstop?

00:42:15
Speaker 1: Like, what what are we doing here? Yeah?

00:42:18
Speaker 3: That's rough.

00:42:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, what are we doing? We're winning three nothings and I'm like, what are we doing?

00:42:25
Speaker 2: Oh?

00:42:27
Speaker 1: Okay, good answer, that's what he said. I mean, kind of direct. I didn't really have an answers. I just got walked I was so that was that was one of the few times where I was like.

00:42:39
Speaker 3: You were livid, yeah, because I'm like, we have to win.

00:42:42
Speaker 1: We have to win this game. Yes, we're winning three to nothing in the eighth, bottom of the ninth and you take your catcher and your shortstop out in our shortstop made a made an error and our catcher. I mean, I never want to blame pitch calling, but crauch, you know, when the catcher's rolling, you're shutting out a team. You don't take that guy out because he's been back there. I was out there Friday night. This is a Saturday game, right, like, you don't take that guy out.

00:43:04
Speaker 2: You let that guy roll.

00:43:05
Speaker 3: And he turned into the coach from water Boy Crats water Boy now the assistant coach who would who actually didn't say anything. You remember you remember sleep.

00:43:21
Speaker 2: Lose great manager? Oh yeah?

00:43:22
Speaker 3: Where he just mumbled yeah, yeah.

00:43:29
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm sorry, but I don't know.

00:43:33
Speaker 4: I feel like if we stay here longer, I feel like a jill start remembering more times that he yelled or was pissed at coaches, and maybe we'll just we could stay on here longer and just just think about it and talk about it. Maybe it would pop pop up in his head different times that he may have done more of a Nick Costiani's thing. Do they trade him though we haven't even brought that up. Do they trade Nick because of this situation?

00:43:58
Speaker 3: Haven't they tried to trade him in the past?

00:44:01
Speaker 4: He was in he was in the Tucker deals. That was like supposedly it was bom Nick and I forget who from from the bushes that he was going to go for Kyle Tucker. You know how close that got if that's true or not. Obviously, all rumors.

00:44:19
Speaker 3: Is that rumors that are out there, rumors that you heard internally, Like, is that if I get Googled that would I see anything?

00:44:25
Speaker 5: No?

00:44:26
Speaker 2: Okay, no, that was that was Google.

00:44:28
Speaker 3: You're saying from this past offseason when the Cubs won the bid, the Phillies were involved and those two names were involved.

00:44:35
Speaker 2: That's that's what I remember reading. Yeah, I mean it could have been a trolley.

00:44:39
Speaker 3: Account, but right, right, Okay. Anyway, we do have a show devoted to the Phillies. They will spend a good chunk of time on this. We'll see if they have any insight. Todd's a lackey, Jim Salisberry and Ruben Amara Junior. You can see on the screen there. Jesus Lozardo is not a regular host, but he was a guest recently. But if you want to hear more from them, it's called The Philly Show. It's part of the FT Network. Hey, scary moment in the game yesterday. Blue Jay centerfielder Miles Straw had to leave the game smashed into the wall. But what stood out here is a great photo. It's Josh Naylor out there on the field to check on him. Andre Semenez his current teammate there as well. They were all teammates in Cleveland. But the friend side of this, to make sure that your friend is okay.

00:45:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's cool. And by the way, my astrow remember he was traded because the they thought they were getting Sazaki, right, Yes, they took him on from Cleveland because they thought they were getting Sazaki. I do remember, right, Yeah, But this is the human side of it. Josh Allen on a different team. They played together for years in Cleveland, Andrew sa Menez obviously, and you go check on your pals man. Everyone seeing him get hurt, especially buddies of your soda.

00:45:53
Speaker 2: Good on you. Josh.

00:45:54
Speaker 1: Plus he's in Canada's Canadian you know, he's probably thinking, maybe if I give some good love, the Oilers could stay alive for Game seven, But nope, Florida beat Canada again.

00:46:03
Speaker 3: Hey, Miles Straw has been contributing here. I mean, you know, he's more for his glove than his bat at this point. But what has he got here this year? One hundred thirty one played appearances and a six thirty two ops seventy seven ops plus, so below average bat, but still an elite defender. He is lightning fat, that's out above average. And you know, limited games played. I mean he's less than sixty fifty nine games played. He is at a plus four. That's really good. He's ninety fourth percentile. What's the beef? Padre's Dodgers happening all week? They love each other. They started with pahes hit. He thought he was hit because they thought he was stealing signs. That he thought they thought that he was stealing signs.

00:46:59
Speaker 2: He said that.

00:46:59
Speaker 1: She said fast forward.

00:47:02
Speaker 3: Game two, shoo Tani plunked. Dave Roberts said postgame he thought the Padres threw at him intentionally, and that's why he was upset. When the Dodgers were also issued a warning. He also noted his frustration that he got ejected while Shild was able to come out and talk to umpires after the warnings before show, Hey, Tatis was hit. There's the photo on Instagram story that show.

00:47:27
Speaker 1: Take the picture of himself while he was hitting.

00:47:29
Speaker 3: He took the picture and posted he's big, big on socials. He likes to post for himself.

00:47:34
Speaker 2: He's that good.

00:47:36
Speaker 3: All right, So there it is. I will say this was fine. I mean he he he took it, and then he and then he smiled after the only guy that would be like, oh cool, Like there's it's a different respect level right with Japanese culture. He's not going to like point at him to be like, screw you man. But Tatis got plunked. Then Tany got hit.

00:47:56
Speaker 1: Okay, but you gotta go back though, you gotta go through the whole thing.

00:47:59
Speaker 2: Pa, he got hit.

00:48:01
Speaker 1: Then they show Mike Schultz saying who the f are you? Right pie, He's basically saying like you, who are you? And then Manny after the game said we wouldn't hit pies. Listen, I'm gonna tell you this right now. I've caught before and I've said that to hitters, like we we hitting you.

00:48:19
Speaker 2: You're an out, dude, We don't.

00:48:20
Speaker 1: We don't want to hit you, like literally, like you're an out, like we want to pitch to you. We hit you by mistake. Trust me, we were trying to hit you. We would hit someone good, right. So, and that's kind of what Shilton Manny were saying. But Pie is just having a great year. Have you ever seen the time of the sorta video of Kirk Bvaqua. If you haven't seen it, google it. He's like Kurk Bvaqua. I used to send a limo to get hit guys like him out right to make sure he was in the lineup so he didn't miss the game. That's the certain guys. That's basically what they were saying. Yeah, and I got no problem because this line has been around baseball forever. We would hit you, you're out.

00:48:54
Speaker 3: Pie has been on fire, four for four, two omers, yesterday's second in the team in homers.

00:48:58
Speaker 1: All that, But but yeah, hey, Mookie, Freddie will Smith, Max One's he ta Oscar.

00:49:03
Speaker 2: He's low on the tone.

00:49:04
Speaker 3: Machado is a great point. There's plenty of guys to hit that aren't Possi and then Travino hits Tatties.

00:49:09
Speaker 1: So Navaskaz says, well, I gotta get somebody.

00:49:12
Speaker 3: The problem I have is he missed first that you mess.

00:49:16
Speaker 1: And then he got him on the second one. If you're the umpires there, you see the first one, then he hits him on the second one.

00:49:24
Speaker 2: He's got to go.

00:49:24
Speaker 1: If you're gonna give warnings, he's got to go because the Dodgers then don't have a chance to get back anyway. Right, That's it. That's where the mistakes led lies in the fact that the umpires didn't that he missed on the first one, and then the umpires when he got hit. If you if you're giving warnings, you're saying he threw at him on purpose. That's Dave roberts Argy.

00:49:43
Speaker 2: Yes, sure, if that's the rules, see you later.

00:49:46
Speaker 3: But that's what happens. Kratz. I feel like this is a very classic MLB situation with umpires where we don't have the retaliation game on point. So the warning gets issued and it's like, yo, we we didn't even do it. We didn't even do anything right.

00:50:03
Speaker 4: I mean, they hit Tatis, so it was time to get somebody back and it should have. It should have ended there.

00:50:14
Speaker 2: Fast.

00:50:14
Speaker 4: Guys should have been gone. There's no I mean, come on, if if, even if that was just the first pitch. I feel like I'm pretty good at seeing when a guy is throwing in a certain direction and then you know, he just absolutely I mean the way he missed, the way he finished it looked like he stepped right to him to hit him. Wouldn't even not don't even talk about the pitch before missed him. It was should have should have been gone. Dave Roberts, there's no way Dave can stay in that game. He has to be thrown out because that's to me, it wasn't handled well by the Empires, exactly right.

00:50:49
Speaker 1: Dave got Dave's got to defend his star. Yeah, yeah, of course my star got hit. You're giving us a warning because you know what Dave was gonna go do. Oh yeah, probably gonna hit Manny, probably gonna get Manny, probably gonna go out man Or Tatist is getting one.

00:51:03
Speaker 3: Do you think they're gonna go back at No? No, no, no, I'm saying now it's done.

00:51:06
Speaker 1: If there was no warnings issue, many aer Tatis was getting.

00:51:09
Speaker 3: One, right, Is it done now? Or this kid.

00:51:11
Speaker 1: Probably it's gotta be over now. But all it takes is one guy to let one ball get away and somebody getting not whacked, and then guess what, it starts again and then Padres because the patters don't want to They want to show that they're not scared of the Dodgers and they don't want to be disrespected by the Dodgers. So if they get hit, she'll and she'll learned from LaRussa. LaRussa was like, you hit my guy, I'm hitting three of yours, right, And that's the way ship was brought up in the Cardinals organization, which is fine, but just know that I think it's done because the dejections and everything happened last night. But if one gets away, it could start again. If someone gets hit, there's gonna be some mouthy mouth because again the Padres don't want to be thought of as looked as a little brother.

00:51:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be on again. Trip Gibson, by the way, he tossed Doc, who you know was the guy who told Max Muncy obstruction and had beef with some other coach that led up to that that Max told us about who was it right?

00:52:11
Speaker 4: They did hit somebody. The Dodgers hit Iglasias later in the game and they didn't throw them out, So I thought the umpires handled that really well.

00:52:21
Speaker 2: Ball got away. I wish I remember who was pitching for the Dodgers.

00:52:24
Speaker 3: It was, ah, man, they're not going after Iglesias.

00:52:32
Speaker 2: They their Tarney.

00:52:35
Speaker 4: Yeah, but then Manny, but and believe me, I've been that guy that's gotten hit and I've been pissed and teams have been like, we're not trying to hit you, I know, but it still hurts. I don't want to get hit, not that you're trying to hit me on purpose. But when they hit Iglesias, many many came out. I was like, oh what why? What about the warnings, Like, well, that wasn't the that's not why they have the warnings out. Guy can still get hit by pitchers. You just you're not just gonna throw them out. You just have to have some feel. So I thought the umpires had good feel in that situation.

00:53:08
Speaker 3: There you go, And for anyone that doesn't think that the padres were throwing at Otani on purpose, you're insane.

00:53:16
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:53:18
Speaker 1: Now Travino Tatis, I don't know, he's hit him twice now that's kind of twice in a week, so I get it. I don't think, but he just throws that turbo sinker that kind of gets away.

00:53:26
Speaker 2: From every once in a while.

00:53:27
Speaker 1: But if you don't think the Vesquez was throwing it right at Otani and he missed, He's probably never had to do that in his life. If you talk to a picture and crowds, I think you've probably had this conversation and they say it's so hard to hit a guy. I'm like, you can throw a strike down and away like nine out of ten times, but you can't hit a guy.

00:53:46
Speaker 2: All I could do is like move it over a little bit.

00:53:48
Speaker 1: They're like, it's so hard, Like it shouldn't be that hard.

00:53:51
Speaker 2: You got a big target.

00:53:52
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, I throw it in and he moves out the way, all right, Well, then throw it right behind it and then they move right into it.

00:53:57
Speaker 4: Shouldn't be that try it should A pitcher explained it to me one time, like I don't want it to look like I'm actually throwing at him. So they want to stride at the exact same place. Now this was just one picture telling me this. They want to stride at the exact same place and yank it. And that's what he said, is so hard. I'm like, just the hitter. Everybody knows you're hitting them. What I've always heard, put it right behind their butt because nobody ever moves forward, and they'll just move right back into it, or they'll turn and their left butt cheek if they're a left handed hitter, or their right butt cheek if they're a right handed hitter.

00:54:34

First off, This was cool Ronald o'cunya Junior and Luis Anhell Acunya saying hello, embracing over a second when Acunya actually made a sick play in this game sitcatch in right field and Luis Anhel who was called up last year obviously when they faced the Braves, didn't have a Kunya his brother Ronald until now.

00:56:11
Speaker 1: Great school. Be able to play with your brother like that. That was a great game. Last big win for the Braise last night they come back and big win, extra innings win.

00:56:19
Speaker 3: For them, so big not for Marshall Zuna and some fans wanted Edmund Diez in it's like they wanted him in that pocket of the lineup. Red Garrett's been so good for them this year this year, so yeah, its just that stuff happened sometimes.

00:56:36
Speaker 4: Cratz post game post game with Francisco Alvarez, he was very honest about how he told Red Garrett to throw a different pitch than what Reid wanted to throw, and Frankie was like, he was like, I made the wrong decision, he said, and I'm pissed about it. Read one of the I think Reid wanted to throw the heater and I forget and he wanted to splitter. So they had the conversation and he's like, no, I changed it. I changed it.

00:57:05
Speaker 2: I'm the one that made the mistake. It was cool. It was cool to hear from a really from a young catcher. Yeah.

00:57:11
Speaker 3: I like that stuff. Also, by the way, jerks and profile rehab assignment, He'll be back to ly second.

00:57:15
Speaker 1: Just to understand going to rehab assignment, when you're suspended to rehabit expending.

00:57:21
Speaker 3: Well then it's really more than eighty because.

00:57:23
Speaker 1: That's what you're suspended for eighty games, and then when the eighty game starts, then you can start right.

00:57:29
Speaker 3: I don't disagree. Now we have a minute here, Boba Schett, Addison Barger well, back to back action walk off for the Blue Jays, three games back of the Yankees in the Al East, Razor two and a half back.

00:57:46
Speaker 2: Blue Jays are coming the Rais Raise and the Blue Jays.

00:57:50
Speaker 3: Which team do you like better? Razor, Blue Jays? Like the Blue Jays?

00:57:53
Speaker 2: You like the Rays?

00:57:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, Florida go, I like the.

00:57:55
Speaker 3: Blue Yeah, I like the Blue Jays better. If Bose doing that, you need the bow from You need Bow to hit twenty twenty three not twenty twenty four. Yeah, you need this bow not the first month, Bo, the second month bow of this season. And then Barger has come out of nowhere.

00:58:14
Speaker 4: Of course, Shelby watch Barger. If you haven't watched Barger hit, there is no more personification of let it eat kid, because this guy is letting it eat every single pitch. His helmet's coming off. That was freaking awesome. But Bo, what I loved about Bow If you watch some of the games, he's gotting back to being able to hit different pitches to the opposite field and being able to drive the ball to the gaps and driving runs in. He's he's coming up clutching big RBI situations for this team, and I think he's he's getting after it.

00:59:07
Speaker 3: All right, let's lap first off. Reminder again, check out our chap ECC. That contest is running for a few more days, supposed to me and make Kratz laugh. Try to win two free tickets. We just saw Ben Rice is in the lineup tonight for the Yankees at catcher. Ryan Yarborough joins the show pretty frequently, so maybe we'll see soon about it. That's what I'm saying. Yarbs gets to you know.

00:59:30
Speaker 1: What, yours is not a hard thrower. It's more of a control guy. And I think Yarbs calls his own game, doesn't he with the pitch comp so I think they'll be trying to ease him in rather than give him a guy that throws a little harder and it might not call his own game, or a guy who hasn't caught in a while.

00:59:48
Speaker 4: They got to bring in some relievers, and every reliever on the Yankees throws a billion. Ian Hamilton doesn't even look at you when he's gonna throw. He's just like, you know, he's full meathead mode.

00:59:57
Speaker 2: He's just like.

01:00:01
Speaker 4: Just throwing fuel yardbor is easy to catch, cut her in change up away.

01:00:08
Speaker 3: That's why you put him in a position to succeed. Makes sense on the way out, crats hats.

01:00:15
Speaker 4: Because I'm a show hey hater, Dodger hater. That's why I one the Dodgers. It's the best series right now. If you're not turning your TV set to channel Dodgers and Padres right now.

01:00:28
Speaker 2: You're missing out.

01:00:29
Speaker 3: True and again that Dodger's postgame show, Dodger's territory. If you want some entertainment for twenty minutes, go for it anyway. We will see everyone tomorrow on FT.
