00:00:01 Speaker 1: Phrase your Friday baby running Kratz too. What's up Kratz, You'll like this. I think I had the first ever FT dream of mine, first time ever that I had a dream and it was about FT and I was at my apartment. It's a little hazy, but there was like internet issues and then you had to take over and they were like, it's fine, Kratz has it. He's hosting the whole show. 00:00:25 Speaker 2: I kid you not. 00:00:26 Speaker 1: I couldn't watch it, so I was just screened off and they're like, you're good, don't worry. Kratz is running it. 00:00:34 Speaker 3: So was it a dream that turned into a nightmare? Or was it a dream that turned into a dream. 00:00:40 Speaker 1: I just love hearing you say nightmare. 00:00:42 Speaker 2: So what is that word again? Don't say that? Oh my god? 00:00:51 Speaker 1: How they say nightmare in Philly? 00:00:53 Speaker 2: Nightmre, mirror, nightre. 00:00:55 Speaker 3: It's a nightmare. It's scary. Nightmares are scary. 00:01:05 Speaker 1: Todd one day, Kratz host the whole show? 00:01:07 Speaker 2: What do you think I think you would do? 00:01:09 Speaker 3: Just fine. 00:01:10 Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a nightmare. 00:01:13 Speaker 2: I think I would need two beers with that nightmare. 00:01:18 Speaker 3: And you could go to it, and you could go to a tournament. 00:01:23 Speaker 2: That's the real word tour. 00:01:26 Speaker 3: In your tournament and use a cupon. 00:01:30 Speaker 2: That's true too. 00:01:32 Speaker 1: All right, before we get into biz, todd father first show with us since Little League World Series, Great job had it go? 00:01:41 Speaker 4: It went well, man, I thought it was good. I mean, the only the only thing was seventeen shutouts. The pitching was absolutely tremendous. A lot of new faces got great recognition. The team from Connecticut did awesome. I thought they had a chance to make the finals with this team from Nevada truly incredible run the first time ever making it to the USA Championship. Let him known the World Series Championship. They ran into a juggernaut. Le sin Saw was absolutely incredible. He could throw up to eighty three miles an hour. He threw eighty two miles an hour one pitch in that last game. He didn't need to. He stayed seventy five and that's just absolute fuzz. His hands were the same size as his mind. I think Kratzy years would be a little bigger because you got bigger hands. 00:02:29 Speaker 2: But this kid was tremendous. 00:02:31 Speaker 4: You know, they weren't the best hitting team, but you know, literally when you got the best hitting team, our pitching team. 00:02:36 Speaker 2: Good things are gonna happen. 00:02:39 Speaker 3: Kid look dominant. Must have been the launch angles. Launch angles have probably made it to little league Little league coaching now, So I don't know offenses down. What's wrong with these kids? Unbelievable. It can't hit eighty three miles an hour from from forty five feet? Oh crazy, no chance. 00:03:00 Speaker 1: One more question, in all seriousness, do you think that teams are using cameras and analytics to help them pitch better? 00:03:13 Speaker 4: I think these kids go to specific coaches and they have all these mechanisms and what's the thing called where you know it shows all the numbers on their cratzy you mean like ah man, I forget what it's called. But you like track man, rap soda all that at twelve. 00:03:34 Speaker 2: Oh my god, at eight years old. 00:03:37 Speaker 3: People aren't People don't even go to facility. Like if you go to a facility and it doesn't have that, kids are gonna be like this is boring. What are we doing? Like why are we even here? Like they want to see like every swing they're like, bang, what is it? 00:03:51 Speaker 2: What is it? 00:03:51 Speaker 3: And they have like competitions in games. It's like a video game for kids, and they throw balls and they're like, what was it? WHOA, that's amazing. 00:03:59 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's It's truly incredible the gifts that these kids have nowadays instead of what Crats and I did. Get in the cage and take as many swings as you can until they kick you out. 00:04:10 Speaker 3: Pretty much, I didn't even have a I didn't even matter a cage. I didn't have a cage. Oh it's totally better because you learn it, you learn it, but I didn't even have a cage. Our high school didn't have a cage. I didn't have a cage at my house. I saved up my money one time and I bought a soft toss machine that I still have. I'll take a picture of it and a net that I hung from my mom's clothesline, and that's how I would hit. I would hit into it, and the soft toss machine it would like slowly drop a ball down in beak and it would hit and I would hit it and I would hit it because I got sick of hitting off the tee. So I think it was like it was like seventy two dollars or something. I saved up my money and bought it. Still got it to this day. 00:04:49 Speaker 1: The high speed cameras cost a little bit more than that. 00:04:52 Speaker 3: I'm still a little bit tronic. 00:04:55 Speaker 1: When I was watching, I was just like, I wonder how much everything camera, why tech wise is helping these pitchers. And there you go, clearly a ton. So we've hit a point where pitching's dominating at the little league circuit. Let's charge, Let's charge them. I mean we've been doing this all week. Kyle Schwarber four home runs, not that although we have had three of these this year. Nick Kurtz, as well as Gino Suarez, just punishing the baseball. Schober had a shot from five. His kryptonite is position players, So if you're trying to get them out in the playoffs, position players, just keep that in mind. As the Phillies beat the crap out of the Braves, we're going to go live to our Pennsylvania reporter Eric Kratz with more on the Phillies being the team of the week, first in a bad way, now in a great way. 00:05:49 Speaker 3: Reporting live from Boston, the Philly reporter Eric Kratz sees the ups and downs of the Phillies offense. I mean it came out and just hammered. There's a lot of guys that had a lot of good, good numbers against cal Quantrill last night. I'm not saying he didn't have a chance. I'm saying the Phillies got home, they got boat raced in New York. And I just I think that the Citizens Bank Ballpark fans just they hit different. They really do. And I know people are gonna be like, oh man, well what about this place. Well, but there's other places that are great. I'm saying that this group of players, including Kyle Schwarber, feeds off of this this fan base, He feeds off of this stadium. And to do something like this historic. The number that's crazy to me is twenty one people have ever done it in Big League history. Three have done it this year. Now, this was a laugher. Kurtz. His game was a laugher. The one that Suarez dead earlier this year was they needed every one of those four home runs. But we were driving in the car and we had actually hit traffic last night and somebody texted me that he has four home runs and we were stopped dead in traffic on eighty four, which, by the way, New England traffic sucks. But I got to see him face Videl Vidal Bruhan, and I really thought he was gonna do it. I obviously have been brutal with my locks this year, but in the moment, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is it. How Schwarver is gonna be the only person ever to hit five home runs? And he popped it up. Ha. It was awesome to watch, though. 00:07:28 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he is having a ridiculous year, godfather, and this is his best year ever in his mid thirties. 00:07:36 Speaker 3: In his walk year, in his walk yere. 00:07:40 Speaker 4: He is putting up some video game numbers that you know, when it comes to home runs and home runs and games, he's taking that city by storm. I gotta be honest with you. He is fun to watch. He's built for Philadelphia. Cratzy said it too. He had an easy, probably the easiest chance to get that fifth home run, and he said himself, He's like, I wish I wasn't trying to hit a home run. 00:08:03 Speaker 2: Easiest thing he could have got a single. 00:08:04 Speaker 4: I don't know, the guy's got forty nine home runs. You know, if he does that every day crowds, he might have ninety home runs. I think that'd be pretty cool. But it's not going to happen. He is, you know, all joking aside. This is a guy that every team is going to want, and would want and should want. He is a guy that will bat first, he'll bat fourth, he'll bat any position, and he is a leader, and he brings that pain every day to the ballpark. And I think it's truly incredible. I love him, absolutely love him. 00:08:35 Speaker 3: He stepped in. He stepped in as a leader, exactly what she said Todd because I think, you know, they signed Bryce Harper, and I don't necessarily think every time he signed a superstar that they're the leader in the clubhouse. I think there's too much on their plate, and I think Kyle Schwoba has taken that. He kind of helped. He kind of helped along with Reese Hoskins when he first came here, then Reese left, and I don't think he ever stepped on Reese's toes in that way. I think it was like, hey, I can help, I have this expertise. He's just a guy that everybody wants to follow, like he's he's the dude. The thing that he's improved this year. His batting average is up, his strikeout percentages down, he's doing his damage against lefties. I think he has the most home runs versus lefty relievers this year in Major League Baseball. Before it was like, oh, just stack your team with lefties, bring him in and he can't do jack against him. He's got another one last night, and it's it's awesome to see, especially since he's a guy who's going to free agency. We don't know, we don't know what free agency looks like for a essentially only DH. He's played a few games and left, I think like eight or nine games and left. But it'll be exciting to see because we saw Pete Alonso not have a great year last year and the market kind of hurt him. I'll be so interested to see what happens here because he really he looks like a twenty five to thirty million dollars a year d H. Some teams are just automatically going to be out on that, and he is. He is essential in Philly. 00:10:10 Speaker 1: Next year will be his age thirty three season. That's a factor too. But wait, I want to spend a couple of minutes here before we get to Kenny ballgame, and we'll get his take on this. Let's cw the Kevin Pillar tweet from last night and our buddy in the ft team, he said, need to start talking about this man for National League MVP now. The way I look at it, many of the younger writers just look at all thing called war and on the Fangrafts War list, Kyle Schwarber is, does anyone want to guess where he is placement wise. 00:10:48 Speaker 3: In all baseball towards his number. 00:10:51 Speaker 1: In all of baseball? Where he's place. 00:10:57 Speaker 4: Fifteenth, twentieth the way you're talking, Scott, I feel like it's not that good of a number. 00:11:02 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say thirty eight. 00:11:04 Speaker 1: You had it first. He's nineteen. You said twenty. I'll take that first hand. 00:11:08 Speaker 2: I got nervous. I got nervous. 00:11:10 Speaker 1: No, I know, I didn't want to. I poker faced it. I just wanted to stay cool. But yeah, he's got four and a half war. There's tons of NL players ahead of him, including Shoeo Tani, who's third in all of baseball at Fangrafts War with a seven point one number. So when Polar puts that out, you get a lot of the Dodger fans are playing like, oh that's cute, Like did you see Otani pitch the other day too, even though Tani's obviously at DH as well, he's pitching, and you know, you don't want to lose sight of what he's doing and how different it is from everyone else and the fatigue of that. But Trey Turner has a five point eight war. He's ahead of Kyle Schuberkratz Perdomo on the Diamondbacks and Corbyn Carol on the Diamondbacks, Pete Crow, Armstrong, Fernando Tatis, Christopher Sanchez. I'm not gonna I'm gonna skip the pitchers because I think that's a different world. But Lynn Dor Kyle Tucker all ahead of Kyle schober By fan grafts war. Do you think that he should be a candidate for the top spop Cose he's gonna get votes, but should he win the award? 00:12:11 Speaker 3: Uh? Is it two thousand and six? Is it two thousand and eight? Then maybe yeah, But again we had this argument before when when the players voted Ronald Acunya the best player in baseball, it's Sho Heo Tani. Unfortunately for everybody else the MVP award because you know, unless they make up another new rule for show, hey, he's gonna win it. He should win it. He's the most valuable player as far as value goes. Because we start talking about value, y is he the most valuable player of the Phillies team right now? Yes, but he's not more valuable than what show Hay is in the game of baseball because he pitches and hits. Sorry, it's just it will become one day. I don't know if we'll be alive. It'll be called the show Hey Otani award. 00:12:58 Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I think we'll be alive for it. 00:13:02 Speaker 2: We got a second, so I can go on this for a second or yeah. Yeah, So I wrote down all I wrote down. 00:13:09 Speaker 4: Before I got on here, some significant stats here, and I compared Swarve with o'tana. You know, average two forty eight swar but two seventy eight Otani. Okay, I'm not the biggest on average, but I'm also realistic that, you know, to forty eight is probably not going to cut it for an MVP in my opinion. And then I looked at RBIs and home runs. Swarber's beating him significantly in RBIs by about thirty four RBIs if my math is right, I mean, that's that's a big number. For me, Uh, he's up four in home runs. I mean that's pretty close, and then Otani pretty much beats him on everything on base percentage, you know, slug ops runs by you know about thirty and change. So if we're going on numbers alone, I think Otani still is that guy. But some significant stats like RBI's is big for me. I think that still has to play. So I think you still have to put Swarbur in that conversation for sure. 00:14:11 Speaker 1: Krats. If you need to pay rent for your apartment and you're not getting anything for it, then you probably haven't heard of Built. 00:14:19 Speaker 3: You have to pay rent every single month, why not get some points that you can redeem for other things that are a lot more fun than paying rent, like flights, hotels, uber rides. 00:14:29 Speaker 1: That's right, and it doesn't stop there. Built is about making your entire neighborhood more rewarding. You can dine at your favorite local restaurants, and you can earn additional points with VIP treatment at certain fitness studios, and you can also enjoy exclusive experiences that are just for Built members. They announce them every month. Built is turning a monthly expense into an opportunity to earn rewards and discover the best that your neighborhood has to offer. Your rent is finally working for you, and you can earn points on rent and around your neighborhood wherever you call home by going to built dot com slash foul that's j O I n b I lt dot com slash f o u L. Make sure to use our ur L so they know that FT sent you get after it. Hey, Francisco Alvarez broke his pinky on a hip Bi pitch, so he's hopeful he's gonna play again. That sucks, though, Kratz. I mean, he's got problems now with both hands. He is getting beat up. You're rehabbing it. Then you're hit by a pitch in the minors. 00:15:28 Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a hip by pitch or if it was a Oh, if it was a foul ball, I think it was. I think it was a foul ball when he was catching. But either way, dang it, man, dang it, because this Mets team is starting to get that momentum without him in there. I think he brings something to this team that they're now going to be out another It's amazing to me that broken pinky is like two to four weeks. It feels like it should be way longer, but still like hand issues when you're swinging todd you are a good hitter. A nobody wants that. 00:16:01 Speaker 4: No, and I think to make it short and sweet. Dusty Baker always told me the two things you have to worry about in baseball are your hands and your feet. Everything else you can kind of find a way to get through for the most part, but make sure those hands and feet are okay. 00:16:15 Speaker 2: And this guy I. 00:16:17 Speaker 4: Smiled because you just think of your pinky being this little finger, then it causes a lot of problems. 00:16:23 Speaker 1: Yeah, Anthony Tacoma, Yeah, exactly. Doctor Evil has other thoughts. Anthony Dicomo covers. The team said, the hope is that he can play in two to three days, given that it's a small fracture of the pinky. But it's a broken bone, not ideal. And he was out playing catch yesterday, but he had a trainer catching the ball for you. 00:16:39 Speaker 3: It's a big deal. It's a big deal if you can't frame. If you can't frame the ball, now you're not catching it squarely. It affects everything and it drains on you. When your hand hurts catching, it sucks. All good. 00:16:59 Speaker 1: Hey, we have some ft breaking news. This. According to Jeff Passing, the Boston Red Sox released veteran right handed Walker Boehler, So he is cut. I believe that another team can pick him up if they want him in time to put him on a roster. That could turn into an October appearance for Walker Buehler. But it's been a rough year. Are you surprised about this one? Top father? 00:17:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, just because of the name alone. I mean, this guy, you know, pitching wise came in and won a World Series. I mean, it doesn't seem too long ago, right, It's just I don't I mean, listen, wow, Yeah, I mean, I know a bunch of teams I could take a picture like this in their caliber and just bring them in for the rest of the year. This one, you know, I'd like to read more into this and understand why you know this seven and seven you know, you know, like a one point negative war, all right, I don't know, I don't know. I'm very confused. I know the Red Sox are doing really well. It's just one of those scenarios where I would love to hear about you know what the what else? 00:18:03 Speaker 3: Is going on. 00:18:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, they bumped him the rotation. I mean the Red Sox are looking for another starter, which they hope to be Peyton Toley. Right, they've got their big three right now, absolutely thriving with Crochet. What a pickup for them this offseason. And then Brian Bao has really found his form. Same with Lucas Giolito, Kratz. You know, it's funny with Bueller. He's very straightforward. So he's like, I get it. I mean I'm paraphrasing here, I know why I was bumped out of the rotation. And then of course we'll get word from him on this next move from Boston after a one year contract. His regular season numbers are almost identical from a run prevention standpoint two last year, and then all of a sudden in the postseason he looked different. 00:18:45 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a it's a bold move by the Socks. They feel like they're in a strong position to be able to let this to be able, let this happen, you know what. Just like Todd said, you gotta be there to see kind of more more than just his stat line. His stat line is not very good, and it's an example of when guys have surgery. They don't always come back to be the guy they were before. A lot of the time, yes, but not always. And he hasn't consistently held his velocity, hasn't consistently been able to shape his breaking ball. But in the playoffs last year, everybody remembers how he finished out the game and he threw you know, he threw the curveball to finish out the World Series. And I think he had thrown like one or two other times. But the start before he had a stinker two starts before, and then he came out and he had a great start where he was punching tickets. So to me, I bet he's thrown out of the bullpen for the Dodgers by the time, by the time postseason rolls around. 00:19:50 Speaker 1: Wow, wow, Hey, remember last year they have to game three NLCS against the Mets. At the command was tight, and then I was looking back, best drop ever on his knuckle curve, most sweep right, most horizontal movement ever on his sweeper, most fade on the sinker. Spin rate was the highest it had been some sticky stuff enforcement, which you know, you look at that time period a few years ago, it's different. He finished the playoff run with thirteen consecutive scoreless innings, including the final three outs of the World Series. Again, if you're a Boston friend right now and you're watching this and you've been watching him perform all year and not perform at a nice level, a five and a half is cra just like the Dodgers watched from him last year, Like see, we've got our big boy prospect coming up, Peyton Pulley, We've got a big three right now, and maybe may finds it a little bit for us. We're good. But I'm with you, Todd father. I love the good storyline, and I hope that he gets scooped up by another team and we get playoff Walker Buehler, because I mean, he'll say like, I'm missing that. Have you behind my pitches last year? And then all of a sudden he found it? 00:20:59 Speaker 4: He did, He did for sure, So again, what have you done for me lately? Attitude? I guess if that's the case, then yeah he should be gone. But to know the caliber of picture he is, he still got a lot left in the tech. 00:21:13 Speaker 3: Scott was Scott in? Were you insinuating that it got a little stickier as the postseason went on? Were you insinuating that the jump in spin rate the jump in movements, Scott Braun, you are devious. 00:21:32 Speaker 1: On a Friday, I just dropped things on the table. This is my job all day. I just dropped things like this, and then I just see what everyone picks up. And Ira Kratz has actually mised her conspiracy theory. 00:21:42 Speaker 3: So I just dropped it. 00:21:44 Speaker 1: I truly don't know. Of course I don't know, but I also just like to say, hey, here's what the statistics are reading. What do you think. 00:21:53 Speaker 3: My thought, yeah, my thought is he did a great job of making a positive adjustment for himself in his last thirteen innings. But I also don't want to escape the fact that because we harp on the Pirates being cheap, Walker Bueller is making twenty one point zero five million this year. You break that down for September. Now, I know he's released. I know he's released. It's not a waiver dump, but there's some cash there that maybe they're gonna think again about how they spend their money in the offseason instead of going twenty one million dollars for a I hope it works out kind of picture. Solidify it, go and take do what it takes to get Corbin Burns to not sign with the Diamondbacks. I know he got hurt, but do what it takes to put another monster piece in this rotation to pair with Crochet. He's gonna be there for a long time. 00:22:56 Speaker 1: I remember I watched one game start recently and I look back. I found it on the eighth of August where he shut down the Padres and it's the post trade deadline Padres. Six innings, four hits, no runs, two walks, four strikeouts, nine ground balls, ninety six pitches. So sometimes guys get cut right and they'll have these kind of numbers on the season, and then you look at the recent numbers over the past couple months and you're like, I can't find a good outing results wise, there's something here. Yeah, Dodgers fans are losing their mind right now, at least some of them, because many of them probably haven't been watching Walker Buehler this year. Right, we do have somewhat of a regional sport with the way that teams consume or with the way that fans consume their team's games. Right, Like, you might listen to FT during the day, but then if you've got the red Sox playing and then you're worried. Oh well, if you're on the West Coast, you might still be at work, and then you're watching your Dodgers at night, you might not see much of Walker Bueller. So you're like, hey, those are the same numbers as last year. Let's give it a shot. 00:23:56 Speaker 3: I'm interested. I'm interested to see what happens now because he was released. He was released. This isn't waiver dump. The Red Sox are paying the entirety of the rest of his salary. I'm interested to see because there's no motivation. No team is going to pay him more than the minimum for the month of September. I'm interested to see where he chooses to go and how that like not courting process, but like how that process goes, Like he essentially gets to choose from all the teams that want to want him to pitch because they're all going to pay him the exact same. 00:24:37 Speaker 1: Oh, He's going wherever he feels like there's a team that can help get him right. 00:24:42 Speaker 3: I'm interested. Spota, spota. 00:24:46 Speaker 2: That's it. 00:24:48 Speaker 4: There's no much more. There's no more to say really about it. It's just just one of those things where as you get older. It's like, you know, a s Kratz and I got older, and the opportunities like you want to be on a winning ball club too as well. So oh it's it's tough. You want to play and then you get in situations. Well, well let's see who wants me first, and then you go from there. 00:25:08 Speaker 3: Yankees, wouldn't that be great? What do you think? 00:25:17 Speaker 2: I mean? 00:25:18 Speaker 3: I'd love to see it. I'm looking up to see who he dealt against this year and see if because there's a lot of recency bias. He dealt against the Phillies, he deal against the Padres, he dealt against. 00:25:33 Speaker 2: The Rays. 00:25:33 Speaker 1: But you figure he wants to try and go to a team where he can pitch in October and reprove himself. That's what he did. I mean here in this contract based on October. Before October, you're looking at Walker Deeeler and you're like, he's gonna get a small deal. He's going to get a one year contract. But he was gonna get a one year contract at a much lower rate. And remember the Dodgers also didn't throw the qualifying off or his way. The Dodgers were like, hey, we want you to be in a good spot. That's something that many team games canon won't do, and maybe they were thinking about if that was going to end up being the number, and you know he was going to take it. So they said, hey, no qualifying offer, go out there to the world, don't be attached to a camp pick and selected. 00:26:17 Speaker 3: They did him a solid. 00:26:18 Speaker 1: It was pro, it was pro. So yeah, I'm with you here, I'm looking at where else he thrived this year. 00:26:28 Speaker 3: Pitch well against He's pitched well against not not many. 00:26:33 Speaker 1: Yankees and Padres. But I mean for me, it's more sorry Phillies and Padres. Who needs him? 00:26:41 Speaker 3: Right? 00:26:42 Speaker 1: Who's interested in picking up a guy that can be a fifth starter for you and maybe catch fire in the postseason? 00:26:50 Speaker 3: Cubs, it's a good name. 00:26:56 Speaker 1: I like that too. That's a good name. Someone's gonna do it, so we'll see it's a league minimum guy at this point. Red Sox eat the money anyway. Breaking news, Walker Buehler cut by the Boston Red Sox. Boston's in a good spot. I mean, this was the part of the team that you were probably concerned about, was do they have the pitching. They have the pitching right now, and if you believe in all these prospects that are coming up right now and thriving. Then they might have just added themselves another guy who can pitch big boy innings for them in October and they looked at the roster Alex Korra. Kratz is pretty decisive and he has more control of the roster than I think most managers do. Would you agree with that? 00:27:40 Speaker 3: I would think so yes. I mean that would be my initial read from what you see out there, because I think he kind of has that GM mentality too, So I think there's conversation. If there's somebody has more, it would be his cohort in Houston. I think A J. Hinch probably has more. But okay, I think I think Klora is up there for sure. 00:28:04 Speaker 1: Yeah, decision has been made. Anyway, let us know if you're looking at this afterward, or if you're watching this lab right now, where you think he could end up and if you think he can find it again like he did last October. OKAKP, this is your first arena club experience. We're going to open a slab pack together. So first off, we're gonna buy one of those twenty five dollars slab packs and we get to see what is in the pack. There it is the Grail, which is the best card in the pack and worth the most. There are some other cards that we're chasing, and you can see the entire lineup so that you know what you're in the running for. There's the Yamamoto signed card. Now let's open up our pack and see how we do. We have ourselves a really cool graphic and then a show Heo Tani fifty to fifty card from last year. What do you want to do? Should we sell it right back to them for sixteen or should we keep it? 00:29:00 Speaker 2: You should give it to me. 00:29:02 Speaker 1: I'll get good answer. Fine, I will give it to you. Since the Blue Jays didn't get o tany you can get this fifty to fifty card instead. Use the code foul foul to get yourself twenty percent off your first slab pack or card purchase. Yes, you get to keep that card if you want it. They send it to you foul at Arena Club dot com slash foul. The Pirates have placed ikf on outright waivers. He can continue playing for the Pirates throughout the processed playoff. Teams have until the rest of the weekend to claim him if they want him for the postseason? 00:29:34 Speaker 3: Krats, what do we call that dump deadline? How did we forget that? We even talked about the Pirates yesterday? We said Andrew he and he's already on the waiver wire. How is Tommy fam not on the waiver wire? And then we completely forgot about a guy who can play four big league positions at above average level. Of course he's gonna get picked up. 00:29:57 Speaker 1: And of course he's eighty one played appearances, shy a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars roster bonus. He of course has performance incentives tied to his deal. Todd father for me at this point though, I mean, I know he got moved over there, but don't do performance bonuses if you're gonna be with the Pirates. Just know that as a free agent. What Kratz, what are we missing? 00:30:19 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, just two years in a row. Pirates did this again last year. But don't worry about They're definitely trying to put the best team out there. Pirates fans. 00:30:26 Speaker 1: They did this to ikf last year. Remember they put him in that super awkward spot. They're like, oh, we can put you back in if you want to screw over this other player that we now put in front of you. 00:30:37 Speaker 3: Yes, and then he plays it all year this year, so it happens to him two years in a row. And they cut rowdy last year also, so it's not just two times. They've done it three times that we. 00:30:50 Speaker 2: Know of. 00:30:53 Speaker 4: Balloney man, don't if I'm a player, no more incentive. Just pay me the extra money, then go after the extra bag. 00:31:00 Speaker 1: Thank you. 00:31:01 Speaker 3: They won't Pirates won't sign you. Then good that you know that, Todd, they cut you. 00:31:11 Speaker 1: Better than box scores. First off, let's just do a shout out to Taylor Rashie, who, after six minor league seasons and a serious injury, made his major league debut yesterday afternoon at twenty nine years old. Three scoreless innings picked up to save Diamondbacks beat the Brewers again. Brewers an old funk, but that's okay, not a crazy funk. They just were on a ridiculous run. But krats, this is an e K special right here for the congrats to a guy who has persevered, gone through adversity, done the whole deal just to make it to this moment. You know what this is like? 00:31:48 Speaker 3: It's so awesome. I hope he was able to soak it in decently long out outing that they put him out there for. But I hope he was able to soak it in. I hope he didn't. Nothing got in the way of like enjoying it, because stuff can really go fast as much as you're like, man, I had six he had six years to like prepare for this moment, Like it goes fast. I had, however many years. I had eight or nine years to prepare for it. And when you get caught up, you're like, oh, I gotta do this, I gotta do that, I gotta do you know, I gotta be here. 00:32:18 Speaker 2: You know. 00:32:19 Speaker 3: It's it's such an awesome moment for him. I hope he got to really enjoy it. And the part where you know, the injuries or injury, the serious injury he had a he had to overcome that. That's a level I don't understand, like that is really really tough. So it has to feel fulfilling for him. 00:32:38 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. 00:32:40 Speaker 2: Resilient, resilient, just keep going. 00:32:42 Speaker 4: It's just one of those stories, just like Krats had and so many other guys, just the battle of day in and day out, grind of being in the minor leagues, with injuries, not seeing your family, everything plays a part in it. And for that day for him, I'm sure he went home, sat on his you know, his hotel. Ben was like, wow, it was all worth it. So congratulations to him. Three scoolless innings and got to save get that scorecard, big dollar hanging up in your house. 00:33:10 Speaker 2: You well deserve. 00:33:12 Speaker 1: There you go. All right, Let's get to the New York Mets, who fell to the Marlins after the big sweep of the Phillies. The one down spot with the Mets even in that Phillies series was Ryan Helsley continuing to struggle. And this just came out from Anthony to Como covering the team that Mets officials believe he is tipping pitches and the frustration level is high for him right now. They've been aware of the issue for weeks, but it's still a problem as they think that, you know, hitters are getting really good swings on fastballs and that there are really good takes on his sliders. In the story here from Dacomo, he said they identified the issue as a little tick the right hander makes with his arms when coming set. That arm position changes based on whether Helsley's throwing a fastball or which quote makes it a whole lot easier to hit? And then here's the quote Crafts from Helsley. He said, I'm not trying to sound arrogant or anything, but I feel like my stuff's too good to get hit around as consistently as it has since I've been here. We've played mostly teams in the hunt, and a lot of teams nowadays will have guys who look specifically for those things. It's pretty glaring and obvious when I'm doing it. I mean, they have been smashing him. I mean he's given it more than a run an inning right now in his first i think ten appearances with the Mets. 00:34:29 Speaker 3: He's also been throwing less strikes. His walk rate is definitely up, but he's throwing less strikes early in account than he ever did at any point in his Cardinal's career. He didn't just pick up a tick when he went to New York. He didn't just pick up a tick because now he's not throwing in the ninth inning and he doesn't have his walkout music like his The way he's attacking hitters, whether it's a mindset because he's throwing in a seventh or eighth inning, whether it's the pitches that are called, whether it's the Mets. I mean, the Mets have done such an amazing job of, you know, getting the most value out of guys may not work. Their approach or their mindset of how they're doing things, how they're approaching attacking hitters may not work for everybody. So to me, it's okay that it's not a tip. Now they're saying it's a tip, he's tipping. My question would be in the thirty six innings that he threw for the Cardinals, he wasn't tipping, and now in the almost nine innings that he's thrown for the Mets, he's tipping. To me, it is based on his early count strikes, So anything oh oh one to oh two to oh two to one, his ball percentage is higher than it ever has been at any point in his career. 00:35:56 Speaker 4: Yeah, and as good hitters as all these professional guys are, I mean, you know, you come set. If you see just a little all of a sudden or a little hand moment, yeah, it's gonna show. 00:36:06 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, this guy's got nasty stuff. Should he be getting hit like this? 00:36:10 Speaker 1: No? 00:36:10 Speaker 4: But they're professional hitters. When you know what's coming. And I tell this to everybody, even if you know what's coming, it's still hard to hit. But you're gonna square the ball up a lot more. Whether it goes and play or you don't get a hit, you're gonna your swing is gonna be a lot better when you know what's coming. So especially as a professional hitter, and it is frustrating, and guess what, you gotta figure it out. You got to change something soon because playoffs are coming. They're right around the corner. 00:36:35 Speaker 1: Yeah, this dude can top out at one oh three, but he's got a ten to three, eight eeright eleven appearances since joining the New York Mets to be continued. This team's going to be in the playoffs most likely, and they need him. That was one of their big guns that they traded for at the deadline. Ft FAM, Welcome to the World's most Comfortable Swimwear.

And by the way, I'm wearing a Fair Harbor shirt right now. I'll show you in a second. But also we got this news in on Victor Roblaze, the suspension from ten games to seven upon the appeal, and he's gonna begin serving it tonight. So it's a week of one man down on the roster for the Seattle Mariners Crats. That's a big jump. 00:38:10 Speaker 3: Ten to seven, it's a huge jump. And anything over the way I heard it explained, anything over five for a position player is massive. Five or more is a massive suspension. So when it came out of ten, you knew it was gonna go down. I thought I'd go down to eight. But whatever, seven, it's a lot except the malicious intent they've set. They've drawn the line in the sand with a seven game suspension for maliciously throwing the bat at a pitcher, no matter what the situation was. He didn't toss it like Wilson Contreras did. But I don't know, I don't know. I feel like seven's a little little cheap, little thin. 00:38:57 Speaker 4: I remember seeing this video down like every time he got it. I'm laughing because you don't usually see anything like this. You know, I'm not condoning it at all. It's just, you know, I don't know what the right suspensions should be. But if I'm this guy right now, I really need to check myself and understand, like, man, I need to calm down. I'm playing professional baseball. I know I got to hit a bunch of times it wasn't you know, MLB caliber guys. So you got to really understand, to take a step back and understand, like guys you know down in the bushes per Se don't throw him many strikes, but he needs to go find a high school team and get some swings in before he comes back. 00:39:36 Speaker 1: There's a big risk for the Yankees to send all that pitching to San Diego in a trade for the big outfielder. It's coming from Mike Petrello. It turns out Trent Grisham was worth it. That's cute. I mean, Todd Pyther, you can speak to that. I mean, obviously the Soto, it was the Sodo trade, but it's also turned into the Trent Grisham deal where some people are like, why are they taking on Trent Grisham and whatever it was last year five million bucks. He's been a banger for them this year. 00:40:04 Speaker 4: Banger, and he's playing more so. I think there's a couple of things. He's he's his starter. You know, he's not going back and forth not playing. It's hard to do as you get a little older in your career. He's got a knack for the zone. He knows his zone, and I think that is something that needs to be said and in a good place because a lot of guys are free swingers. This guy, when he gets a pitch in his zone, he's not missing it. He's got power. He squares the ball off, and he's just been doing it this whole year. You got to give kudos to him for coming back and just getting after it and helping this club. You know, especially when a judge goes down or Stanton hasn't played in a while, they're gonna need some key cogs like a Ben Rice and Trent Grisham to step up, both left handed hitters, and they're not to be messed with. Those two guys have been doing really well and Grisham has been a great center field or two. So for him, I would be proud if I was him, especially where he was last year. 00:41:04 Speaker 3: For sure. And this is a great example of the theory that I have that regular everyday guys, when they become bench players, what exactly would their numbers be. He's having a great year. This is probably this is easily his best year that he's ever had. But to go from hitting one ninety, he had a ops plus of ninety one which was one of the lowest of his career too. Now he's at one twenty nine. All are great numbers. All are great numbers to me. His value is the fact that they can keep Judge healthy by pushing him back to right field. All the wear and tear that center field put on can put on Judge's body over the long course of two seasons in a row. I think it's huge and that's there's no value in that. I mean, there's no like statistic for that, but there's a huge value in the fact that the big fellow can keep playing. That's what he said. 00:42:00 Speaker 1: He said, all right, now, we're going to throw to our al East reporter Todd Father, Todd Fraser to get the lowdown on this division. And we're gonna start it with a quote from Jazz Chishol, who's always good for a quote. And he's shown the confidence that the Yankees are not just thinking about the playoffs, they're thinking about the division. So let's cue it up. And he said of the Yankees, now four games back up Toronto Boston, what is three and a half back? He still believes they can win the East. Quote, we want to win the division. We don't just want to get to a wildcard spot right now. It's just like, we're going to go out there and win that, and then we're going to go and win the World Series. I expect nothing less from a confident player like Jazz Todd father, what was he going to say, We just hope we get in as a wild card. That would be fun, that'd be swell. 00:42:50 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:42:50 Speaker 4: No, I mean you've got to have the confidence of your team first and foremost. Jazz is a different kind of dude, bron and I respect it in a way, and some times I'm just like, what is he doing? You know, and the funniest, you know, out of control way. But yes, the division is still at hand, and I still think the Yankees, I still think the Red Sox and Blue Jays all have a really good shot. Out of course, the Blue Jays have the best shot because they're winning. I looked at both all the schedules. The Yankees, I feel like, have a little bit of the easier schedule. The Blue Jay is gonna have a tough schedule, you know, during this stretch coming up. Yeah, why wouldn't you have the confidence of thinking that you're gonna win, you know, the division and win the World Series, you know, putting yourself in that situation. And if you're not talking about winning the World Series, then why even play? So you gotta have confidence, you got you gotta let your team know and understand that, you know, there's still a chance. Four games is nothing with you know, a little over a month to play. I mean, there's a lot of games. And they all got to play each other. So when the Red Sox play the Blue Jays, Yankees play the Blue Jays, vice versa, they all played each other. One team is going to gain a game or two over the other. So again, this one is up for grabs. I love his confidence. He's gonna tell you how it is. You know, you can't knock a guy for that. 00:44:03 Speaker 3: But are they gonna do it? Are they gonna win the division? Top needed? I mean, we can't. We can't waffle here. 00:44:10 Speaker 2: If I had to choose right now, I would say no right now. 00:44:15 Speaker 3: And where was Jazz saying this ten ten games ago when they were swooning, when they weren't hitting dingers? Like it's always that the the rhetoric in baseball is ride the highs, ride the highs, and diminish the lows. When you're riding good, enjoy it. But when you're riding bed, just hey, you know what, we're gonna bounce out of it. So you gotta have that kind of positive mindset. No team, I've never met a legitimate big lee player that said, pretty sure we're gonna lose this game today. I don't think we have a chance like that would be That would be a brutal way to go through a season. Hey. 00:44:56 Speaker 1: Also, I think this is a good time to remind everyone that some teams are really good and some teams suck. And schedule watching and predicting things on schedules are real. Now is your Can you run into a team that's playing better ball? 00:45:12 Speaker 3: Right? 00:45:12 Speaker 1: Like? Are the Rockies now? Like the Rockies in April or May? Of course not right? If you are following the season on a daily basis, then you can look at the schedule and say, hey, right now, that's a team I'd run a run into. Right, And just in general, Todd Father, let's pick the Yanks coming off a bad weekend against the Red Sox. How about the Washington Nationals? For you? Are you not you kicking, cheering and screaming in the clubhouse about who you get to face next and say, hey, boys, time to pad the stats. Time to get back on track and beat the crap out of a team that we are much better than, and take all of our frustration from the weekend out on a team that doesn't have the pitching to keep up with us. 00:45:55 Speaker 2: Yeah. 00:45:55 Speaker 4: I mean, listen, Yankees are nine to three in their last twelve. I mean, they've been hitting homers left and right, and they've been playing bad teams. We understand that. I think we all get it. 00:46:04 Speaker 2: But guess what. 00:46:06 Speaker 4: You gotta beat these bad teams. You gotta stomp them. And that's the best part of the winning ball clubs. They find ways to you know, sweep teams. Take three out of four. Those you have to do during a season in order to be top in your division. Okay, well you make the playoffs, you know, winning two out of three from these teams, of course, you know. But you know, everyone's like, oh, they beat the bad teams. Yeah, you're supposed to beat the bad teams. Okay, they haven't done well against winning teams. But again, what gets you back into the division, what gets you back into that playoff atmosphere and talked about, is beating the teams you're supposed to beat. So again, if I'm the Yankees, if I'm any team that's playing a White Sock, a Colorado, a pirate team, a national team, it's sweep or go home. 00:46:50 Speaker 2: That's it. 00:46:51 Speaker 4: And you have to think that way coming into all these games. And you will see if you take care about your team winning, you'll worry about the other team's gonna work about having to chase you at the end of the year. 00:47:02 Speaker 1: Yeah, krats. It drives me nuts sometimes when I'll see, you know, a baseball broadcaster, wright or whatever, be like, well, anythinking happen, it doesn't matter. Looking at the schedule is overrated. I'm like, no, it is rated. It is rated accurately. The Yankees are playing the Nats in the White Sox this week, and they're slugging the crap out of the ball. Okay, so let's do this. Let's play a game. Let's look at the schedules. There's only one month left to go on the season. And you asked Todd father if you thought that a team could catch the Jas. He said, no, krats. I'll read out the schedules for you and you tell me if you feel like there's a shot, and also then Todd Father, you can think about this one. Which team has a better chance, Yankees or Red Sox of catching the Blue Jays based on what's left in the season. So first I'm going to start with Toronto and what they have left this year. So they're playing this weekend against the Brewers. Brewers, Hey, you would rather catch them now than two weeks ago. Then they're in Cincinnati, Then they're in the taken on the Yankees. Then they take on the Astros for three and the Oriels for three, followed by the Rays for four down in Tampa. And they'll be on the road for three against Kansas City, followed by the twenty third through the twenty fifth of September against Boston, and then again finishing up with the Rays. That's the Blue Jays schedule, and as you can see, they're three and a half games clear of the Red Sox. Next up with the Red Sox. Would you say, Kratz. 00:48:31 Speaker 4: Said, I said, I said, that's a tough schedule for me. In my opinion, I think that might be the toughest schedule out of the three. 00:48:40 Speaker 1: Okay, so Red Sox coming up this weekend, and I know its schemes tonight with their rookie Tolly. But they've got the Pirates for three this weekend. The Pirates suck. They've got Cleveland after that at home, so a six gamer with Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Then they hit the road for the Diamondbacks, where not the same team. I mean, they played pretty well this against the Brewers, but not the same team that they were in the first half. The A's were playing pretty good ball. This is their time of year. Then they've got their series against the Yankees, last one of the year from the twelfth to the fourteenth. Then they're home against the A's. Then they're on the road against Tampa and Toronto, and then their last series is against a Tigers team that you do want to face for those last three games because they most likely won't be playing for anything. And lastly, Todd Father, you've got the Yankees finishing up with three more games against the White Sox. Then they have three in Houston, three against Toronto at home, three at home against the Tigers, three in Boston, three in Minnesota. Oh man, they love the Twins, three in Baltimore, three at home against the White Sox, and then three at home against the Orioles. You're right, I think the Jays have the toughest schedule of the three that I just mentioned. 00:49:50 Speaker 4: The Yankees last thirteen games, they can easily go ten and three, in my opinion, easily ten and three, if not eleven and two with the teams they're facing, with the Twins and the Orioles in the White Sox, that might be the one where it kicks them to win the division. I feel deeply in my soul if it's a three four game race, I could see them jumping a Blue Jay or Red Sox team to win the division solely on the last thirteen. 00:50:20 Speaker 2: Games of the year. 00:50:22 Speaker 3: So now they are going to win the division? 00:50:25 Speaker 4: I said, you didn't hear what I remember. I said, as of right now, I don't think they're going to win the division as of right now. Anything can happen, an injury, you know, yeah, somebody goes away hot streak. 00:50:40 Speaker 3: I think it ultimately comes down to head to head, and I think the four game lead is too much to overcome because it's so hard to go in and sweep this Blue Jays team. They have to go in and beat the Red Sox, which they have struggled to do. We spent a whole week talking about how the Phillies struggled to beat the Mets. The Yankees need to beat the Red Sox, And to me, home field is going to be huge. If you look across records of all the playoff teams, all the teams in baseball right now, road records are just they're abysmal compared to home records, and I think that's gonna be a huge thing in the playoffs. But as far as to win the division, I just the series where the where the Yankee for the Yankees, where they play the Red Size, I mean where they play the Yeah, the Red Sox and the Blue Jays, that's huge. All the other stuff, to me, that's just that's just chalk, that's just a wash. I think it really needs to be those head to head matchups. And if they're not winning those head to head matchups, just gonna they're gonna be to come up short. 00:51:45 Speaker 1: I like that there's three teams in it NA. They're close enough. I like a good race down the stretch here, because as far as playoff teams, it seems like we're pretty much set, you know, in terms of who's actually going to make the dance but we got a month to play. Let us know your thoughts. If you think that Boston or the Yanks can catch the Blue Jays, drop a comment for us if you're watching live or later on at t tweet. What is that Michael Parsons trade in baseball terms? Guys? We got some current answers like Devors to the Giants, and then we got some hypothetical ones like Paul Skeen's to the Mariners or the Blue Jays, Otani to the Padres for Arise, Akunya to the Tigers, Soto to the Brewers, Judge to the Phillies. What do you like? Skiens to the Cubs? What do you guys like. 00:52:40 Speaker 3: Trout to the Phillies? 00:52:43 Speaker 2: That's it, No. 00:52:44 Speaker 1: Only one. 00:52:46 Speaker 3: I was poking at Todd there, I was poking at Todd. Michael Parsons is a bigger deal in the NFL than Trout is in Major League Baseball. 00:52:58 Speaker 1: Well, Parsons is in his prime. He's what twenty six years old. It's like Luca last time too. It's one. It's one of the best. And I'm not mister football here, but it's one of the best defensive players in the sport. Moving over to another team in the NFC. 00:53:14 Speaker 3: I think it's Skans. I think it's I think it's Skeens because he's not He's not that like superstar quarterback where you know Michael Parsons. Yes he plays on defense, but he's one of the best ones out there. He could win Defensive Player of the Year. Skeans could win Cy Young. I think it's schemes to whatever team I think it's. I think it's more blown out of proportion because it's Cowboys and Cowboys fans wind and complain about a lot of stuff because they haven't won in thirty years. But I love seeing it. I love seeing stars on the move like this. I think the Pirates should do that, should do this because it's kind of hurting Skeins's value. Schemes wouldn't be eight to nine with a to zero seven. 00:53:58 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Cowboys and Pirates could not be more different, right, And also the Cowboys trade him to a team that Michael Cowboys fans tells us, Yeah, but they I mean, the Packers kick their ass when they made up in the playoffs too, So you'd have to think of a team like to me, it would be like. 00:54:17 Speaker 3: Maybe both owners suck and they'll know what they're doing and get in the way. Bob Nutting gets in away, Jerry Jones gets in a way. Michael Parsons is on defense, so he's not as sexy as the quarterback. Paul Skeins isn't as sexy as you know, somebody hitting dingers. So to me, I think it's Paul Skeens and he's free. Michael Parson's free of the cowboys, just muck that they're living with in their life. And I hope Michael Beer hears this. He's free, he gets a championship. Paul Skeins would go be free and get to win a championship somewhere. 00:54:52 Speaker 1: Hey, Todd, father, did you see this story or story early this week from Boomer Size? And who's you know, a big radio host in New York and big former quarterback in the NFL. So he's in the Ring of Honor for the Bengals and they sent him the invite to attend because now, once you're in the Ring of Honor, you're supposed to go when someone else gets inducted. And they're inducting two other players, right, So he gets the email invite and he gets two free tickets for seats in the stands, with an option to buy more seats if you would like to buy more, and then a discounted rate at the local hotel as part of a room block. So he basically gets himself out there, pays for the hotel, and they have him a couple of tickets in the seats where you were in Cincinnati somewhat frequently, Todd father. I mean, you are a man of the people. You love them, But if you're sitting out in the seats, people just all over you the whole time. So it sounds like he's probably going to decline the offer. Do you think the Bengals should offer a little more, as like a five and a half billion dollar franchise. 00:55:59 Speaker 3: That is Britian. 00:56:00 Speaker 2: I see where you're going with this, But no, no, he. 00:56:03 Speaker 1: Should just go out there and do his thing. Is that out? I don't know genuinely how this works. I'm not saying that you get paid, but don't They usually take care of them and be like, hey, hang out in the owner suite and yes, we'll put you up for a night. 00:56:15 Speaker 2: No, I got you. 00:56:16 Speaker 4: But that the sweet the sweet thing, Yeah, put them in a sweet I find that weird that they're not going to put him in the suite, but you know you're getting two tickets. I mean it's just to me, people feel like because of what you know, you did in the past, at the end of the day, it's like. 00:56:38 Speaker 2: They have to do this and that. 00:56:40 Speaker 4: I mean, listen, dude, if they don't put you in a suite, I find that as a problem. That's not a problem. 00:56:45 Speaker 2: But you're getting up. You're getting it, says a discounted right. They're not giving them a hotel on his own either. 00:56:53 Speaker 1: No, that's what I'm saying, dude. I mean, these things happen all the time. 00:57:00 Speaker 3: Of them, right. 00:57:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, they should take your hotel and put them in a suite. Anything else after that is whatever. 00:57:08 Speaker 1: That's all I'm asking for as his rep. Now I'm now his rep. That's all I was asking for. Okay, So we're on the same page here. It's weird. That's why it was a story. Happy Labor Day weekend every Monday. Yeah, we'll see all Tuesday. Tuesday, Monday, we're off. Good luck to everyone tonight.
