1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,960
Welcome, welcome back everybody.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,800
It's episode four of Four Guys and Still No Clue.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,160
Kenji's not with us this week.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,920
He's getting some Hawaiian honeys out there in Hawaii.

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,360
But we got a lot to talk about.

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Second half has begun.

7
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,680
Brady, Joe, and me.

8
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:15,520
Let's get into it.

9
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,360
["I'm Not a Man"]

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,640
I realized that was not correct grammar there to start.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,440
It was Brady, Joe, and I, if my mom's watching this,

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:31,680
she's going to tag me on that.

13
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,480
But we're back.

14
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:35,160
Another week, another episode.

15
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,240
Another great week of Major League Baseball,

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,520
even though there were four days with no games, really.

17
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,720
No impactful games.

18
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,880
First and foremost, Kenji is not with us this week.

19
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,120
He's out in Hawaii hanging out with his dad.

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,960
So everybody send your condolences to him.

21
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,640
I'm just kidding.

22
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,160
I wish we were in Hawaii recording with him.

23
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,960
But Joe and Brady are here with me today.

24
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,560
First and foremost, Brady, how you doing, brother?

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,800
You know, we're doing all right.

26
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,560
It's good to be back for another episode here this week.

27
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,120
Had a fun, fun time watching the All-Star break.

28
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,720
Certainly.

29
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,360
And seeing all the fun stuff going on.

30
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,720
And that's about it.

31
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,240
Absolutely.

32
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,040
Joe, our resident frog lover, how you doing, brother?

33
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,560
Still lost.

34
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:18,840
Still out there loving frogs.

35
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,160
I also hate to get lost for not the listeners,

36
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:22,880
but for the viewers.

37
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,000
I got my hat.

38
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Got my Texas Ratio hat.

39
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,480
It's my only decoration in the background now.

40
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,920
So that can be talking any crap on me for not having anything

41
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,720
in the background.

42
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:32,880
That's all I'm going to say.

43
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Finally, he has something in the background.

44
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,960
I know Kenji doesn't have his full shelf here

45
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:39,200
to flex on everybody.

46
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,680
But I'm proud of you, Joe, for filling the space a little bit.

47
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:42,560
It looks good.

48
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:42,960
Thank you.

49
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,320
Yeah, I'm still putting off that Dane Dunning jersey.

50
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,360
And so maybe someday.

51
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,000
Yeah, well, that'll be a place with that.

52
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Yeah, we'll probably all be married and off at that point.

53
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,280
We'll probably have children.

54
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,440
And then you'll be like, guys, guess what?

55
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,600
The Dane Dunning jersey came.

56
00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Debatable.

57
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,880
OK, well, so then I guess we can hop into it pretty quickly here.

58
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,320
So the All-Star game was this last week, the Home Run Derby,

59
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,440
as well as the All-Star game.

60
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,920
Vladimir Gareiro Jr. won the Home Run Derby.

61
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:13,880
Brady's been waiting.

62
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Yeah, for those that are just listening to the podcast forum,

63
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Brady has a Blue Jays hat he's about to put on his head

64
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040
because he wants to.

65
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,840
That's the only explanation I got.

66
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,160
But the Home Run Derby was super fun.

67
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,480
Me and Brady watched it together.

68
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,400
Joe, you were working that night.

69
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,200
I was working, yeah, sadly.

70
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,280
Yeah, that's a tough one.

71
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,800
But Home Run Derby was great.

72
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,240
Brady, what stood out to you from the Derby,

73
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,360
aside from Vlad Jr. winning the thing?

74
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,280
I think, actually, before you get to that,

75
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,880
I think he's the first father-son duo, he and his dad,

76
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,840
to ever win the Derby together.

77
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,240
Yeah.

78
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,160
I think I saw that stat, so I guess that's what it is.

79
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Sounds about right.

80
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,360
All right, what stood out to you?

81
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,120
What did you like?

82
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,600
I mean, obviously, everyone kind of could

83
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,680
tell that Mookie Betts just was there just to be there.

84
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:01,080
But he's proper.

85
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,640
Yeah, Mookie didn't even try.

86
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,920
Actually, went crazy.

87
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:06,800
Went crazy.

88
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,880
And he's been doing well the last couple

89
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,080
of days in their actual games.

90
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,440
But he went off, and it was crazy to watch.

91
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Julio had a great first round up against Julio.

92
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Record-setting first round, yeah.

93
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,920
It was insane.

94
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,560
But he just couldn't handle it when

95
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,080
it got to going up against Vlad.

96
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,280
And Randy Rosarena was quite the show to watch as well.

97
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,520
We obviously thought he was going to pull it out there

98
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,920
at the end with how he spaced it out.

99
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,120
But in the end, Vlad ended up winning.

100
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,240
Yeah, Vlad got it done.

101
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,160
Vlad did his thing.

102
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,880
I mean, I can't say anybody's surprised.

103
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,280
I don't think anybody's surprised with Vlad walking away

104
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,960
with that one.

105
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,440
I am going to shout out my guy.

106
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,440
Before we get to Joe's thoughts on how

107
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,560
Adelise Garcia kind of fumbled, I

108
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,240
am going to shout out my guy, Adley Rutchman, for hitting 27.

109
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,800
Eight of those 27 were from the right side

110
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,400
after he hit 19 or 20 from the left side.

111
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Just stuff we've never seen before at a derby.

112
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,320
And I mean, I'm rocking my O's hat today

113
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,320
for all of our listeners.

114
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,080
We're going to get to the O's in a second.

115
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,720
But loved seeing Adley and his dad out there.

116
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,040
They're a bunch of cool pictures.

117
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,280
So I had to rep my guy for a second.

118
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,800
But Joe, what happened with Adelise, man?

119
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,680
I know.

120
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,360
I'm going to leave it open-ended.

121
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,240
Take it away.

122
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,600
What happened with that, Adelise?

123
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Well, first of all, I didn't even watch it.

124
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,960
So I didn't know exactly what happened.

125
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,280
But all I did know is that Garcia went out

126
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:42,400
in the first round, obviously.

127
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,640
Who did he play again?

128
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:44,320
Who did he face?

129
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,280
Oh, Rosarina.

130
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:46,240
Rosarina.

131
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,760
Yeah.

132
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,840
You know, before the actual derby,

133
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,720
I was thinking he could actually pull it off.

134
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,600
And Adelise B get past the first round and beat Rosarina.

135
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,400
But Rosarina, he was really tough.

136
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,880
He's, like, surprisingly, he was really consistent.

137
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Like, when he needed to, he would get those home runs.

138
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,840
And I think just the consistency.

139
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:13,080
Like, I'd even watch Garcia and Rosarina face off.

140
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:21,600
I could just tell, even with Garcia and his overall,

141
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,360
just playing games as a ranger, even in the home run derby,

142
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,480
he lacks consistency a lot.

143
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,760
There's some games where he goes three for five with four

144
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,080
RBI's, and then he goes over 12 in the free game stretch.

145
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,040
And so that might translate into the home run derby,

146
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,120
kind of how he operates.

147
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,240
So yeah, I mean, you see, you saw

148
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,200
Vladiy staying consistent the whole time.

149
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,040
As well as Rosarina, you know, hats off to him

150
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,720
and a few other players.

151
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,520
So I guess, yeah, the home run derby just

152
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,560
came down to consistency.

153
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,000
And Vladiy, like Brady betted on, he's the most consistent.

154
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,920
He was able to get the job done when he needed to.

155
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,040
And also, I watched the highlight of Rutchman

156
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,160
and his dad throwing to him.

157
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,200
That was really cool.

158
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,720
Like, that's something that's never happened before

159
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,080
in derby history.

160
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,280
And I can't even imagine, not even, like,

161
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,920
Rutchman's feeling or Adelie's feeling, but his dad, too.

162
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,240
Just being able to show him something

163
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,280
at the stage, it's kind of just feel incredible.

164
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:20,080
So it was, yeah, I know, even though I didn't get to watch,

165
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080
it was still really cool to kind of just look at the highlights

166
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,240
and, yeah, kind of watch back.

167
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Certainly.

168
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Yeah, I mean, so I guess if you didn't watch it,

169
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,880
then you're probably, you should be happy that you didn't.

170
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,000
Because Adelie's, his pitcher turned into Greg Maddux.

171
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,720
He turned into Greg Maddux in that first round.

172
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,760
I had, like, he was just trying to strike him out.

173
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,720
I think we made the joke that our fantasy teams could

174
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:43,280
use that guy.

175
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:47,680
I think the Yankees bullpen could use that guy.

176
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,840
But yeah, so he had a bad pitcher, as well as Pete

177
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:51,360
Alonso.

178
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,800
I love Pete.

179
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,800
I think if he had his regular pitcher,

180
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,600
because they said the night before, his scheduled guy,

181
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,200
like, had a forearm problem.

182
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960
But if Alonso had his correct pitcher,

183
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,400
then I think his round with Julio was much closer.

184
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:09,040
But I mean, get the stat cast out on Pete's pitcher,

185
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,160
because I mean, the RPMs on some of those sliders

186
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,560
he was throwing, I'm just kidding.

187
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,320
But the derby was super fun.

188
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,160
I know Brady's probably chomping at the bit.

189
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680
I know Bryce Harper won the derby with his dad

190
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,680
pitching to him.

191
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880
So I know that was really cool.

192
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:31,040
But Adelie's better, 100%.

193
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:31,880
I'm just kidding.

194
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,640
Brady, you want to defend yourself for your play?

195
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,560
Please, no.

196
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,560
I'm going to.

197
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,960
I know Kenji's not here to defend himself.

198
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960
But I am going to make fun of his pick, choosing

199
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Mookie Betts, who didn't even try.

200
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,880
He didn't take his time out, didn't go for bonus time.

201
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,600
He just literally hit the ball.

202
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,000
And there was a clip of JD Martinez asking him,

203
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,880
like, mid-round, like, before his 30 second bonus

204
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,920
that everybody got.

205
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,840
JD's like, you need to pull the ball to left.

206
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,960
And Mookie's like, I don't know how.

207
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,200
And so Mookie was first round exit.

208
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,120
I don't think anybody expected him to go too far,

209
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,480
except for Kenji for whatever reason.

210
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:14,760
That's it for the derby.

211
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,920
And then the Tuesday was the All-Star game.

212
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,240
That was really fun to watch.

213
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,560
I watched the whole game, surprisingly.

214
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,960
That's the first year in some time

215
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,800
where I've been able to watch most of the game.

216
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,800
Anything stand out to you guys, first and foremost?

217
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,640
Brady, Joe, what would you like about the derby?

218
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,600
Obviously, the most unexpected All-Star MVP

219
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,360
of all time, Elias Diaz.

220
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,720
100%, yeah.

221
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,680
Out of nowhere.

222
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,800
I think I said it last time we were on here.

223
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400
It's literally who hits the home run,

224
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,440
who hits the first home run in the game.

225
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,880
Who the fluff is that guy, yeah.

226
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,040
It could have been Ronald, had it not gotten

227
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,520
robbed by Adolis Garcia.

228
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,120
Yeah, yeah, that first inning, there

229
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,160
was a couple of amazing catches.

230
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,160
That was a fun start.

231
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,320
I will give you props.

232
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Because it was Adolis in right, and then a Rosarina in left.

233
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,400
And on back-to-back hitters, they

234
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,760
made spectacular catches at the wall.

235
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:05,840
It was unbelievable.

236
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,840
Which was kind of fun to watch to start.

237
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,720
Garrett Cole was just like, ugh.

238
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,200
What are you saying, Joe?

239
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,720
Were they going to be home runs, or were they

240
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,920
just going to hit the wall and going to be a double?

241
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,280
They probably would have been extra bases.

242
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,600
I don't know if they would have gone over.

243
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,240
I know Adolis wouldn't have gone over.

244
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,320
I don't remember Randy's as well as I remember Garcia's.

245
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,240
But also, shout out the boy, Craig Kimbrough,

246
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,880
getting the save.

247
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Yeah.

248
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,800
Me and Brady had a little minor bet going into the game

249
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,920
on what the final score would be.

250
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,680
We do this for almost every sporting event,

251
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:40,800
where before a big game, we'll send each other a text.

252
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:46,320
And I'll be like, AL5 and L3, X person gets the save.

253
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,120
And I texted him.

254
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,560
I think it was exactly 5-3.

255
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,920
And I said, Bautista gets the save.

256
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,040
But of course, Bautista gave up the lead

257
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,720
to the eventual MVP, Elias Diaz.

258
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,080
I went into the game, and I knew that there

259
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,520
were so many O's players that somebody was

260
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,920
bound to have a bad night.

261
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,360
And of course, when Cano had a good ending,

262
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,800
and then the very next time that I

263
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,000
know his pitcher pitch was Bautista, first batter,

264
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,520
he walks Castellanos on five pitches

265
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,920
and then hangs a splitter right in the middle of the plate

266
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:14,440
to Diaz.

267
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,320
And I'm like, OK, cool.

268
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,520
Yeah, that's sure.

269
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,080
But Kimbrough got the save done.

270
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,640
I'm trying to think of a way to get

271
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:22,720
the win against Diaz.

272
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,800
But Kimbrough got the save done.

273
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,840
I'm trying to think.

274
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,840
Araiz went 2-2.

275
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,320
JD Martinez went 2-2.

276
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,280
Araiz going 2-2 doesn't surprise me at all.

277
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,480
He's just insane.

278
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Anything else you guys want to touch on about the All-Star

279
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,640
game?

280
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,080
It was a pitch off, right, mostly?

281
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Because it wasn't high scoring at all there.

282
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920
It was 3-2, yeah.

283
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Always makes it so boring.

284
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:48,400
Yeah.

285
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,320
It's always better when you just have a swing off

286
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,840
and everybody's just hitting, and it's kind of up in the air

287
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,440
about who gets the MVP.

288
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:56,680
I like pitcher's duels, though.

289
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:57,560
I'm not going to lie.

290
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:59,360
I don't mind.

291
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,480
Not for an All-Star game.

292
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,480
How deep did Gallon and Colgo?

293
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,000
One inning.

294
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,440
Every pitcher goes one inning each.

295
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,680
Everybody throws a pitch in.

296
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,520
Yeah.

297
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,240
All right.

298
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,120
But an All-Star game is so much better

299
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,120
when you have a swing off.

300
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,160
Pitcher's duels are fun, but you can see that all

301
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,360
throughout the year.

302
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:16,000
Sure.

303
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,800
I can see that.

304
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,720
I can agree with that.

305
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,160
But it's tough when you face like nine or 10

306
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,800
different All-Star pitchers one after another.

307
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,040
It's just so tough on hitters.

308
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,280
If you face Gallon three times around, then OK,

309
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,240
maybe you have a chance.

310
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,960
But when you get Gallon and then Col Gray,

311
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,000
overall, it's just kind of gross.

312
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,160
But it was a fun All-Star game.

313
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Seattle looked gorgeous.

314
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,960
I don't know if any of you guys saw anything.

315
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,920
I've never been to Seattle.

316
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:41,960
Seattle looked gorgeous.

317
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:43,480
It's fantastic.

318
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,240
Everybody could not stop complimenting the weather.

319
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,920
They were like, it's the middle of July,

320
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,520
and I'm not sweating outside because it's that delightful.

321
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,320
It's fantastic out there.

322
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,080
I would say it will be a lot better.

323
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:59,520
Seattle will be a lot better if Ohtani would be there.

324
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,160
If Ohtani would be there.

325
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:02,920
OK.

326
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,400
Throw that in.

327
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,160
Little trade deadline sneak peek.

328
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,960
We'll get to that in a second.

329
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,680
I mean, I think we're in agreement, Joe.

330
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:13,640
I think Ohtani would look great in a Mariners jersey.

331
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:14,160
I agree.

332
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Carrying on Ichiro's legacy, too.

333
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,440
So then I guess we'll move to some of our storylines

334
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,920
really quick.

335
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,400
First and foremost, again, Kenji's

336
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,400
not here to defend himself, but his angels suck.

337
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,000
They've lost 11 of their last 13.

338
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,280
They had a fun one last night.

339
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,600
They had a walk off over Houston.

340
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,080
It was like a 13-12 game.

341
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760
That was kind of crazy.

342
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,720
Joe, you want to speak to that for a second?

343
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,000
Yeah, well, it was a double play.

344
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,600
Runners on, or so the runs on first and second one out.

345
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,600
Guy hits a grounder at a second.

346
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,840
He turns two.

347
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,600
I can't remember who the shortstop was.

348
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,640
It was in Pena.

349
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,680
Maybe just like a substitute.

350
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,280
Yeah, because Pena got hurt earlier.

351
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,880
I think they pulled him.

352
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Yeah, so the shortstop, he got the ball, stepped on second.

353
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,800
And he threw over to first.

354
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,760
And he threw to the right or left of him.

355
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,560
I don't remember.

356
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,920
But it got away from the first baseman.

357
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,200
It hit the wall.

358
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,360
It came back.

359
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,880
But the guy that was on second managed to score.

360
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,400
Yeah.

361
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,320
And so it was 13-12.

362
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,680
What a such a tragic way to end the game.

363
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,720
But at the same time, I can't complain.

364
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Because the Rangers did win that night.

365
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,120
And so now Astros are three games back instead of two

366
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,240
like before.

367
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,840
We have a little bit of the breathing room.

368
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,320
So I'm kind of happy about that.

369
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Go, Angels.

370
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,720
Yeah, I mean, I thought it was a fun game to watch.

371
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,160
I didn't even think it was close.

372
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,160
And then I looked.

373
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,360
I got a little notification on a Twitter account that I follow.

374
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,600
It was like, you up?

375
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,400
And it was like a one-run game.

376
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,980
And so I was like, OK, I'll turn it on.

377
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:46,640
And I watched the Angels walk it off.

378
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,120
And that was enjoyable.

379
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Baseball is better when the Angels are playing good.

380
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,840
They don't play good very often.

381
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,480
But that division is better when they're playing good.

382
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,560
It's better when Ohtani's on a winning team.

383
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:00,200
But I mean, as long as the Angels keep losing this many

384
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,560
games, I think Ohtani's going to leave.

385
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,440
I hadn't realized how many they had lost.

386
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,480
But we're not going to talk too much about Ohtani

387
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,600
getting traded quite yet.

388
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,480
Then the very next one, for all the listeners,

389
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,360
I had my O's hat on today.

390
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,680
I got a bunch of O's stuff on the ground in the background.

391
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,000
O's have won eight straight as of like an hour ago.

392
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,840
They swept the Miami Marlins, who

393
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,800
have the third best record in the National League.

394
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,640
They do have a tough schedule coming up.

395
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,140
We'll talk about the schedule at the very end of the show.

396
00:14:29,140 --> 00:14:30,440
But O's have won eight straight.

397
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,400
It's their longest winning streak this year.

398
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,400
I think it might be the second longest behind the Rays

399
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,640
when they went like 11, 12 and 0 to start the year.

400
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,200
I remember that was crazy.

401
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,640
So they've been playing fun baseball.

402
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840
They're starting pitching 13 straight quality starts

403
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040
from their starters.

404
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:50,480
And they're just bopping out.

405
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,000
They're averaging eight runs a game over their last week

406
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:53,880
and a half.

407
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,640
So when starters are pitching good and you're

408
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,760
scoring a bunch, you're going to win a lot of games.

409
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,280
So go birds.

410
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,440
That's all I'm going to say.

411
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:01,920
I'm going to touch on them.

412
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,400
Now, Joe, this is our resident Rangers check-in every week,

413
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:06,000
it seems.

414
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,240
Are they picking it up?

415
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:08,360
How have they been playing?

416
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,840
Are they playing the Guardians?

417
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,800
How are they playing?

418
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,160
So yeah, they played the Guardians first series back

419
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,240
from all-star break.

420
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,280
And the Guardians were up 4-0 until, I think,

421
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,280
fifth or sixth inning.

422
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,080
I was checking the score from time to time.

423
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,840
I think I was at work that day.

424
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,640
But I was like, it's over, man.

425
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,080
There's no way.

426
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,600
Coming back from this, our starting pitching

427
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,360
can't go deep.

428
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,640
Our bullpen can't.

429
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,680
Just keep runners off.

430
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,040
And it was just really bad.

431
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,960
But I checked my phone during work,

432
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,680
and I saw that Seager hit a home run.

433
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,160
Who else?

434
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,280
Was it Adolis?

435
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,640
Garcia hit a home run.

436
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,440
And then Hyde just hit a bomb.

437
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,960
The Rangers came back from a 4-0 deficit to win the game 12-4.

438
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,400
That was really surprising to me.

439
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,160
There are a lot of base hits.

440
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,800
The bottom guys, 7-8-9 guys, really stepped it up.

441
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,200
Jonah Hyme, I think he had a 4 or 5 RBI game.

442
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,960
Adolis had a 4 RBI game.

443
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:07,520
I believe.

444
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,120
They both had a 3 or 5.

445
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,120
And it was nice.

446
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:15,600
It was really refreshing seeing the offense just

447
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,600
produce how they were producing in the beginning of the year.

448
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,840
Watch the highlights.

449
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,080
And obviously, yesterday, they barely

450
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,240
won by the skin of their teeth, 2 to 0.

451
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,480
But you know, hey, a win's a win.

452
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,640
Andrew Hiney, he pitched yesterday.

453
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,160
Wow.

454
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:34,200
But I think five or six shutout innings for him.

455
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,760
I think maybe he's picking it back up.

456
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,720
But I think as of now, we're losing 5 to 2

457
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,440
in the bottom of the eighth.

458
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,920
We got first and second, one out with Nathaniel Lowe.

459
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,920
So we'll see how that goes.

460
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,600
I don't know.

461
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,720
But Rangers, hopefully, they'll be picking up.

462
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,040
We got a really tough schedule.

463
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,120
I don't want to get too much into that,

464
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,480
because we'll be talking about that a little bit

465
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,640
towards the end of the podcast.

466
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,880
But yeah, hopefully, you know, it's kind of a second win.

467
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,120
They pick up that second win.

468
00:17:05,120 --> 00:17:08,480
And yeah, get back to where they were a few months ago.

469
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:09,120
Yeah.

470
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:09,480
Yeah.

471
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,280
I mean, when the Rangers are playing good,

472
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,840
they're scoring a lot of runs.

473
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,760
You guys spent so much money on your pitching.

474
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,640
So that's how you're going to win games, is if you can.

475
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,200
I guess that's the name of the game.

476
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,840
You score more runs than the other team.

477
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:23,720
But you got to score a lot of runs to do that,

478
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,400
especially against the schedule you guys have been up against.

479
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,080
For sure.

480
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,320
So that's our Rangers.

481
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,720
We do apologize to the listeners.

482
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,840
This is like the bias portion of the podcast,

483
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,920
where we just go through our three favorite teams.

484
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,080
Skip ahead a couple of minutes if you're sick and tired of it

485
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:37,880
already.

486
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,440
The very next one, I guess in the last bias piece of this,

487
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Bryce Harper and the Phillies uptake.

488
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,440
Brady, give us everything we need to know what's going on.

489
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,840
First of all, I believe the Phillies won nine or 10

490
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,120
in a row in June.

491
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:51,640
OK.

492
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,320
So the Orioles aren't there yet.

493
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,840
OK.

494
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,840
I got news this week that Bryce Harper

495
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,520
will be playing first base sometime this week to start.

496
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,000
Get back out into the field, which

497
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,160
will be huge because then we can finally take Schwaber

498
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,320
and put him in the DH spot because he's

499
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,320
terrible in the outfield.

500
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:13,840
Yeah.

501
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:14,920
He's so bad.

502
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,400
Yeah.

503
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,560
So I think and he hits better in the DH role.

504
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,520
He does.

505
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,680
So that's just going to be more than beneficial.

506
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,320
We did just get a call up from AA actually.

507
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,280
The center fielder named Johan Rojas,

508
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,440
who did an incredible catch yesterday.

509
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,560
Got a couple of hits yesterday in our double header

510
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,840
against the Padres.

511
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,600
Padres, yes.

512
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,080
Thank you.

513
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,360
You selected a lot of them.

514
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:45,280
So they're just getting started.

515
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,840
But we're looking good.

516
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,520
Playing pretty well so far.

517
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,960
Everybody seems to contribute very well.

518
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,200
Yeah.

519
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,160
Player to watch that's been every

520
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,160
for since the beginning of time.

521
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,640
Bryce and Stott's been doing incredible.

522
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,120
Still hitting over 300.

523
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,080
Absolute demon.

524
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,520
You still fleece me in fantasy.

525
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,640
I'm not going to forget that.

526
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,760
A little bit of background.

527
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,120
You've absolutely fleeced.

528
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:14,000
I was looking, I was going after Bryce and Stott.

529
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,280
And I texted Brady as a resident Phillies analyst.

530
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,160
And I said, hey, is Stott good?

531
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Can I trust Stott to produce for me all year?

532
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,880
And he goes, dude, I love Stott.

533
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,200
He's like, he's so good.

534
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,600
And then I kid you not, an hour later,

535
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,400
I got a notification without hearing back

536
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,120
from the guy I was trying to trade with or from Brady

537
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,320
that Stott just got traded to Brady.

538
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,160
So I was like, Brady, what happened there, my man?

539
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,560
And he just said, you got me interested, dude.

540
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,360
I wanted to get him.

541
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,440
And so I'm never going to forgive you for that.

542
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,840
Don't ever try to trade me again this year.

543
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,640
That's OK.

544
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,880
I like being ready for joining us.

545
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,360
This will be his last episode.

546
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:51,720
It'll just be me and Jayne this week.

547
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,600
We did kick Tenji off.

548
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,200
Not really.

549
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240
I'm just kidding.

550
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,680
I've been eyeing him all year.

551
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,080
And it was finally the time.

552
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,320
And I was just on my break.

553
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,160
And so I was like, well, all right.

554
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,920
Yeah, I don't want to hear any more about it.

555
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:05,400
I'm done.

556
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,760
I'm done.

557
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,080
I'm just kidding.

558
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,800
The Mets and the Padres have continued to slide.

559
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,240
They might be the most disappointing two teams

560
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,000
we've seen that I can remember in terms of off-season spending

561
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,600
and then regular season performance.

562
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,960
They've just been absolutely abysmal.

563
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,320
Blake Snell is the only bright spot on the Padres.

564
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,600
Manny Machado has been red hot on that offense.

565
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Ha Sung Kim has been great, too.

566
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,960
He was my player to watch last week.

567
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,640
And Tatis has always been good.

568
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,120
But I think he's just kind of plateaued

569
00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,520
of where his performance has been.

570
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,160
He hasn't gotten super hot or gotten any colder.

571
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,360
The Mets are atrocious.

572
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:47,760
The Mets are atrocious.

573
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,680
I can't remember a team I've seen that's played this.

574
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,920
But I guess the Cardinals are pretty disappointing this year,

575
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,880
too.

576
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Yeah, Griffey, if you're listening to this,

577
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,640
that's Brady's older brother.

578
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,520
My heart goes out to you as well as Brady's dad.

579
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,280
My heart goes out to you both because it's been a tough year.

580
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,480
But me and Joe have both been there as fans of teams

581
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,720
that have sucked recently.

582
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,320
Oh, yeah, it's been a few years since I've actually

583
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,360
had hope for my team.

584
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:16,880
So it's nice to kind of like a team that's

585
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,200
kind of winning games.

586
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:19,720
Yeah, 100%.

587
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,120
Yeah, completely agree.

588
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:22,280
But the Mets have been bad.

589
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,080
I did want to point out last night, quite an unusual play.

590
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,320
There was a sky-high pop-up.

591
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,680
It was Max Muncie was batting against some righty.

592
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,120
I think this video went viral.

593
00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:32,960
Brady probably knows what we're talking about.

594
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,040
I saw it.

595
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,520
Max Muncie comes up with a runner in scoring position.

596
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,280
I think Mookie's on third base.

597
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,800
And he pops it straight up to third, OK?

598
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,360
He pops it straight up to third.

599
00:21:42,360 --> 00:21:44,640
And Brett Beatty, the Mets rookie,

600
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840
is standing down there trying to catch the pop.

601
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,880
And then there's a stack, as you can see,

602
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,240
on how the ball travels.

603
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,880
It's this really weird pattern.

604
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,280
But what should be a routine pop just

605
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,640
completely gets away from Beatty?

606
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,520
It bounces off the dirt, then bounces off of Beatty's face

607
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,640
as he's laying out trying to catch it.

608
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,560
Mookie comes around and scores.

609
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,200
And then the Queens Mets faithful just

610
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,040
boo like nobody's business on that poor team.

611
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,320
So the Mets are just bad.

612
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,960
I don't even know what the solution is.

613
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,120
They've got too many old guys, not enough prospects.

614
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:19,880
They're in quite a bit of trouble.

615
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,200
I guess I'm talking quite a bit.

616
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,600
You guys need to talk some more.

617
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,360
And then I guess the only last bit of news

618
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,880
is that the trade deadline is upcoming.

619
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,280
So we've got, I think it's August 1 is the trade deadline.

620
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,000
So we'll do a couple more episodes prior to that.

621
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,880
And we'll delve a little bit further into who

622
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,680
we think is getting traded, why they're getting traded.

623
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,960
These next couple of weeks will be huge determining

624
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560
factors of who's leading, because teams will decide

625
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,920
if they're buying or selling.

626
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,640
I think the teaser that Joe mentioned,

627
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,600
though, I think Ohtani is kind of the big one.

628
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,680
Do you guys want to touch on that really fast?

629
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,800
I mean, you see the Angels, they kind of have spots,

630
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,680
places in the season, the first half of the season

631
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:01,840
where they picked it up.

632
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,800
The future kind of looked bright for the Angels.

633
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,000
They might have had a chance with a wild card spot.

634
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,440
But now it's pretty apparent that even with Ohtani or Trout,

635
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:11,680
they're not going to go too far.

636
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,640
And so the Angels would benefit clearly

637
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,760
by giving Ohtani away for two, three good solid players that

638
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,320
could lift their team.

639
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,520
Just keeping him for no reason.

640
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,040
And so it'll be interesting to see

641
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,600
what happens to Ohtani, because there's a lot of guys,

642
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,320
a lot of teams looking to pick him up.

643
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,720
Like I mentioned, Seattle, they also have,

644
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,240
just like a lot of teams on West Coast, Dodgers, Padres,

645
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,080
and even on the East Coast as well, New York.

646
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Yeah.

647
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,500
So it's going to be interesting to kind of see how it plays out.

648
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:43,560
I'm excited to see where he goes, honestly,

649
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,920
because that's going to be one of the biggest

650
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,280
updates of the year with baseball.

651
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:48,720
I don't know.

652
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,120
We've seen a prospect, or not even a prospect,

653
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,160
I don't think we've seen a player with this much hype

654
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,560
around him ever.

655
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,160
He's a golden child of them.

656
00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,560
I'll be the judge.

657
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:00,040
Yeah.

658
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,400
They were saying, I was listening to Intentional Talk,

659
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,360
my guy Kevin Millar.

660
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,820
I have a man crush on Kevin Millar, if you ever watch this.

661
00:24:05,820 --> 00:24:07,200
I love you, Kevin.

662
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,120
I was watching Intentional Talk right before the All-Star game.

663
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,440
And Whit Merrifield was doing a little interview.

664
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,960
And he said Ohtani has this posse that follows him

665
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:17,880
everywhere.

666
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,520
Like they said, it's like cameraman.

667
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,840
It's fans, followers, even just other players

668
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,960
that are just always trying to get to Ohtani,

669
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,760
try to talk to him, get an autograph.

670
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,000
And it reminded me of, I don't know if you guys remember,

671
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,640
I wasn't old enough when it happened,

672
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,640
but I've only heard stories of how big Michael Jordan was

673
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,840
with the Bulls, that he transcended the sport.

674
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,560
He transcended America.

675
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,920
And that's what I kind of feel like Ohtani's getting to,

676
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,960
to where he's not just transcending baseball.

677
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,520
He's transcending countries.

678
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,800
He's going over to Japan.

679
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,800
I mean, he's just, he's huge.

680
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,320
And I'm curious, you guys think he ends up

681
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,400
on the West Coast or the East Coast?

682
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Well, personally, I do think he would.

683
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,000
So we will stay on the West Coast,

684
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,040
because that's where the league wants to keep him.

685
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,880
I'm not going to get too scientific and statistical,

686
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,800
but that's where a lot of the Asian-Japanese population

687
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,080
is, Seattle, LA.

688
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,800
You should get statistical with us.

689
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,880
You should get statistical with us.

690
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,400
Yeah, let's go.

691
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:16,600
Poland as well.

692
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,280
And so Poland, Seattle, three, four hours apart by car,

693
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,120
whatever.

694
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:26,240
And being there, I was in Washington for a few months.

695
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,880
I was living there for a little bit.

696
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,520
And you can just tell there's a lot of Asian people there,

697
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,600
especially on the West Coast.

698
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,480
That's where most of them are.

699
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,740
And if you have a population that will always

700
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:40,520
go and support Ohtani, because that's

701
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,880
how I feel how the Japanese culture is.

702
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,120
Being there for a few years and living there,

703
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:50,120
they support their Ohtani's literally.

704
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,240
To the Japanese people, he's like a god.

705
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:53,440
He's like a king.

706
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,440
Everywhere you walk around, in public,

707
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,960
you walk around in airports and malls,

708
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,800
you see all these ads or a billboard

709
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,440
on the side of the road.

710
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,040
Ohtani's sponsored by so many companies, watches,

711
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:11,400
just clothing brands, maybe Cologne or whatever it may be.

712
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,880
He's always on the face of just these marketing companies.

713
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:17,720
And so if they're going to support him like that,

714
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,520
surely they're just going to support him on the West Coast,

715
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,000
where the majority of his fans are.

716
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,200
And so I think from a business standpoint,

717
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,480
Ohtani will most likely be kept on the West Coast

718
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,720
unless there's a huge blockbuster trade that

719
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,960
goes on somewhere else.

720
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,960
So that's my opinion about Ohtani.

721
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:38,480
OK.

722
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:38,980
OK.

723
00:26:38,980 --> 00:26:42,600
I do think it's worth noting that under the current CBA,

724
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,520
you can only negotiate a contract after the season

725
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,080
or if you own the player, sounds bad.

726
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,320
But if the player's under contract for you,

727
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,880
then you can negotiate it.

728
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,360
So I think for a team like the Mets, Yankees, Red Sox,

729
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:58,800
those East Coast teams that might want a shot at him,

730
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,840
their best chance of getting it might be trading for them

731
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,340
and then negotiating their contract.

732
00:27:02,340 --> 00:27:05,280
Because I think if they were to go into a free agency pitch

733
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,840
and they're going up against the Mariners, the Dodgers,

734
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:09,280
the Giants.

735
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,160
A lot of money.

736
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,520
We know the Padres will be there.

737
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,240
The Padres somehow will offer money.

738
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,980
We know that they're going to offer up the money.

739
00:27:15,980 --> 00:27:18,400
And I don't know if the Mets have the same kind of pitch

740
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,520
that the Mariners do, just given the history of baseball

741
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,280
in Seattle and Ichiro and the population there,

742
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,920
as you mentioned.

743
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,360
So it'll be really interesting.

744
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,600
I think it's probably the most interesting storyline

745
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,040
of the season to this point for me.

746
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,880
Brady, I'm curious your take on the Ohtani situation.

747
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,920
Well, it's obviously a West Coast idea right there

748
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,120
that we've been talking about.

749
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:45,760
But I think if he does get traded at the deadline,

750
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:51,000
it will be to a West Coast team that has some playoff potential,

751
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,440
at least I'd hope for Ohtani's case.

752
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,880
End up like Mike Trout, where you're just

753
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,120
on a team that sucks every year.

754
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:01,400
And so hopefully he'll choose to go

755
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,000
to a team that has some playoff hope and the team that

756
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,400
gives the prettiest package.

757
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,840
That's the best way I can describe it.

758
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,160
Whatever team gives the prettiest package

759
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,840
is the team that they trade them to.

760
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,280
It could be anybody, for all I know.

761
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,680
Yeah, it might be difficult for Ohtani

762
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,960
to go to Seattle at the trade deadline, that's for sure.

763
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,200
Seattle's been kind of underperforming.

764
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,600
The same with the Padres as well.

765
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,000
It might be difficult for us to see him going somewhere

766
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,800
during the deadline.

767
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600
It might be until after the season, honestly.

768
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Do you guys think, what do you think the asking price is

769
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:40,040
for Ohtani?

770
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,600
Do you think, say that you're the Mariners, or the Dodgers,

771
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,920
or somebody, you're calling the Angels.

772
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,000
What do you think the Angels are asking for baseline in return

773
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,840
for a guy of that caliber?

774
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,880
Now what do you think, two, three top 100 prospects, four,

775
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,200
and a couple big leaguers, what do you think it stands?

776
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Yeah, probably I'd say, well, because if you get it

777
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,840
from Seattle, they're not going to have the most lottery picks,

778
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,800
and they're not going to have the most lower end picks either.

779
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,160
They're probably going to be put right in the middle.

780
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,760
It all just depends on if you think

781
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,400
you can get somebody worth it down the line there.

782
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,400
I know.

783
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,720
It just depends.

784
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,640
And then you got, the problem with Ohtani

785
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,920
is the Angels will be losing hitting and pitching.

786
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,200
So you've kind of got to get both.

787
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,640
So I'd say you get some other guys maybe even.

788
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,520
If you have to, you might have to ship out Castillo.

789
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,440
You might have to.

790
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,640
Yeah, you might.

791
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,480
Joe?

792
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,880
When teams like the Mariners or Padres

793
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,480
want a player like Ohtani, they're

794
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,640
obviously going to not want to give up their stars just

795
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,600
to get a star, especially for a guy like Ohtani

796
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,960
who can hit and pitch.

797
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,320
So I think they're going to have to give up

798
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:56,600
a lot of their prospects.

799
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,840
If for Ohtani, say Seattle, they give up, I don't know.

800
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,800
I don't know about Castillo, maybe like George Kirby

801
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,440
or someone like that, and then someone else

802
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,040
in the field, and maybe just two big leaguers.

803
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,760
And then two or three really solid prospects,

804
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,840
and maybe even more.

805
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,360
Because Ohtani, he's really worth that much.

806
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:22,000
But at least for the teams, maybe below 500,

807
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,320
that would be the package.

808
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,920
But then for the Dodgers, the Yankees, East Coast teams

809
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,240
that have some prestige, it's apparent

810
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,600
that there's going to be a lot more of those prospects

811
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:35,960
involved.

812
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:41,120
And they'll also be willing to give up some stars.

813
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,400
I would be, for a guy like Ohtani,

814
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,440
give up a pitcher or a good hitter.

815
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,120
Because in the end, Ohtani, he's a silent leader.

816
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,040
He's honestly, he was the hope of the Angels this year.

817
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,800
They've been doing pretty well, considering

818
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,040
how they were in the few years past, even with Mike Trout.

819
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,760
And I think that little advantage that Ohtani

820
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,600
had for the Angels, I think that's

821
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,400
going to translate into an even bigger production

822
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,080
for another big team, which will help them win games

823
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,240
and hopefully make a deep postseason run.

824
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,560
So it's going to be interesting.

825
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,280
I don't know how it's going to turn out,

826
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,720
but I'm excited to see how it plays out.

827
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,560
Yeah, I'm interested to see how it ends up too.

828
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,280
I mean, I think personally, I think you've got to give up,

829
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,200
you've got to ask for three top 100 prospects,

830
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,840
and then maybe a big league ready arm.

831
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,480
And I think that's the minimum that the Angels are going

832
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,520
and be like, yeah, we want this, but every team's

833
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,320
offering us this.

834
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,800
What can you do better?

835
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,920
Because not only is Ohtani great on the field

836
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,240
and he gets you a bunch of wins, he takes up effectively

837
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,920
two roster spots for the cost of one.

838
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:50,640
And both roster spots are actually both all-stars.

839
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,080
What he does is unbelievable.

840
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,680
He's leading the league in homers, I think, with 33.

841
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:59,760
But he also will give you so much revenue off the field.

842
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,040
As you already mentioned, Joe.

843
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:05,280
Ad revenue, marketing, these companies are going after him.

844
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,640
I always complain for the all-star fan voting

845
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,800
that the Blue Jays have an unfair advantage

846
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,520
because I have an entire country voting for them.

847
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,040
I think the same can apply here, where whoever gets Ohtani

848
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,200
isn't just going to bolster their city and their fan base

849
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,840
and their team, but they're also going

850
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,960
to gain support of a monstrous chunk of the population.

851
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,560
And even just baseball fans in general,

852
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,800
who just love Ohtani because he's the most ridiculous thing

853
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,040
we've ever seen to grace the field.

854
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,080
But that's enough for Ohtani.

855
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,920
We'll see how that ends up.

856
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:42,000
You guys know we'll keep you guys posted on that.

857
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,240
So now, the fun part.

858
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,240
I guess we're 30 minutes in, so hopefully it

859
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:46,400
has already been the fun part.

860
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,240
But the part I'm most excited for are our predictions

861
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,960
for the second half.

862
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,240
So we got a lot of season left.

863
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,960
I believe there's 70-something games left of the season.

864
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,680
I'm curious to know both of you guys.

865
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,800
What you think is going to happen in the second half?

866
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,680
And stick around for a second, because at the very end

867
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,200
of this, everybody's going to give their most ridiculous,

868
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,760
bogus take for the second half.

869
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,040
Clownhorn is ready.

870
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,880
So either one of you, just take the lead on this.

871
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,080
What's going to happen?

872
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,480
What's the second half going to bring?

873
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,040
Joe, I'll let you do the honors.

874
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,080
Are you sure, Brady?

875
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,360
You look like you want to say something.

876
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:21,920
I do not.

877
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,240
Honestly, it's going to come down.

878
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,360
Obviously, the twins, as of right now,

879
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:33,400
are winning the division at 505 on their percent wins.

880
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,160
So they're a game above 500.

881
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,200
So honestly, they're not going to do any.

882
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,360
Whoever wins that division is not going to do anything

883
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,200
in the postseason.

884
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:44,000
It doesn't happen.

885
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,840
You never know.

886
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,280
The twins have great pitching.

887
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,480
Twins have the best ERA in the AL.

888
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,400
With how it lines up, though, they're

889
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,680
going to face some team that has 10-plus wins above them

890
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,240
by the time we're done.

891
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,000
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you,

892
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,080
but I'm saying you get into a three-game series

893
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,120
like those wild card series turn out to be.

894
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,800
And it's in Minnesota, and you've

895
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,440
got to face Sonny Gray, Joe Ryan, and Bailey

896
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,400
Ober in a three-game set.

897
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,000
That's not easy.

898
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,720
And then you have Duran in the back end.

899
00:34:14,720 --> 00:34:16,200
You have Jorge Lopez in the back end.

900
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,440
That's not an easy series if they can scratch a couple runs

901
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,240
across.

902
00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:20,760
Yeah.

903
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,040
That's their problem, though.

904
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:24,840
They don't score enough runs.

905
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:25,840
They don't.

906
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:26,560
Yeah.

907
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,800
I think pitching is the key to winning in the postseason.

908
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,760
And say what you will about the twins.

909
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,600
I think they have.

910
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,000
So it'll be curious to see how the AL Central turns out.

911
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,280
So then what's your prediction for the twins then?

912
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,720
Where were you headed with that?

913
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:45,040
I was just going to say it's either going to be them right

914
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,400
now or the Guardians that are close.

915
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,880
I do really like the Guardians, actually.

916
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,600
I think the Guardians will eventually take it back

917
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,680
and they'll run away with it.

918
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:55,440
OK.

919
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,000
Even with Bieber out?

920
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:57,760
Yeah.

921
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:02,280
Just because they have the offense that the twins don't.

922
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,720
Guardians got a good pen as well.

923
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:04,560
Similar pitching.

924
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,800
I'm glad they got Colossus back there.

925
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,520
Yeah.

926
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,360
Certainly.

927
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,040
I think they'll do all right.

928
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,120
Honestly, the National League, the wild card spots

929
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,000
are up for debate right now, honestly, with how it goes.

930
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:22,400
You got anywhere from Cincinnati, Philly, Arizona,

931
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,800
Miami, San Fran, all are in there.

932
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:29,360
So you got twice as many teams as there

933
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,960
are spots in the wild card.

934
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,200
It all just depends.

935
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,320
I obviously think the Phillies are going to take Miami's spot.

936
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:37,600
That's just going to happen.

937
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,680
I'd love to see Arizona.

938
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,040
Arizona would be big time.

939
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,720
That would be so fun to watch them.

940
00:35:42,720 --> 00:35:43,640
That would be huge for the club.

941
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,960
That would be huge for the club.

942
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:49,240
And honestly, after that, I would love to see Cincinnati.

943
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:53,240
So I would love to have Cincinnati, Arizona, and Philly

944
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:55,240
all in the wild card spots.

945
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,360
Who wins the division?

946
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:01,440
Cincinnati would take the division from Milwaukee.

947
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,880
But I don't know.

948
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,320
I think Milwaukee's will still run it.

949
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,720
And either way, I'd like to see both teams in it.

950
00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:12,680
Then you got the two teams from the West

951
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,280
and the two teams from the East, which would be huge.

952
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,760
Obviously, the Braves are probably

953
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,760
one of the most unlikely to catch teams in baseball.

954
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,680
So as a Phillies fan, I'm hoping for the wild card spot.

955
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,120
Rangers are running it really well.

956
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,920
The whole American League is insane.

957
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,440
They got about five guys or five teams

958
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:41,040
that could run wild card spots, with the exception of maybe,

959
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,920
if they turn it on, Seattle and the Angels,

960
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,480
like we talked about earlier.

961
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,960
Both could turn it on and find their way in the postseason.

962
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:51,040
But I don't really know if that'll happen.

963
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,520
I do like where we're at right now,

964
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,640
with the Yankees staying out of the postseason.

965
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:55,200
I love it.

966
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:55,760
I love it.

967
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:56,800
Let me eat it up.

968
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,000
I love it.

969
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,080
I would love to see Boston instead of Houston.

970
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:01,920
I would.

971
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,040
But I don't see that happening.

972
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,560
I do like it with the Orioles, and especially the Blue Jays

973
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,640
in the wild card.

974
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,480
So then let's hear, Brady, give me your official ideal

975
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,200
or your predicted playoff standing.

976
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,880
So for those listening and not watching,

977
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,280
I guess watching you probably can't tell difference either.

978
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,320
So in the National League, the division leaders

979
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,800
are Atlanta, the Dodgers, and the Milwaukee Brewers.

980
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,160
And then the wild card teams are San Francisco, Miami,

981
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,320
and Arizona.

982
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,720
One game behind Arizona is Philly at one game.

983
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:34,240
And then Cincinnati is two back.

984
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:37,000
San Diego is 7 and 1 half back.

985
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,920
So then, if you had to guess the National League,

986
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:39,840
how it finishes out.

987
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,200
Brady, Joe, both of you guys, let's hear it.

988
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,080
How does it end?

989
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,000
Atlanta wins their division for sure, right?

990
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,280
Atlanta is going to win unless they just really lay

991
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,240
the biggest egg on the planet.

992
00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:54,640
I don't see that happening.

993
00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:01,120
Then the West, the Cardinals, sorry,

994
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,240
thinking of football here, the Diamondbacks

995
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:07,960
are 2 and 1 half from the Dodgers right now.

996
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,520
I think they could run away with it.

997
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:11,360
They really could.

998
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:11,920
I'm going to go with.

999
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,720
The Dodgers?

1000
00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:13,800
No, the Diamondbacks.

1001
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,120
I'm going to go with it.

1002
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,560
I'm going to go with it.

1003
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,600
I like it.

1004
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,480
I think Arizona pulls it out, and LA comes out

1005
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,160
of the wild card.

1006
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,640
Wow.

1007
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,440
We could skip ahead and say that's my hot take

1008
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,920
for the rest of the second half.

1009
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,480
We could say that's it.

1010
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,680
Arizona runs away with the West?

1011
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:36,320
I think they run away with it.

1012
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,840
They've lost four straight.

1013
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:40,800
They're young.

1014
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,560
They got a lot of talent.

1015
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,560
They have a lot of switch hitters on their team.

1016
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,520
You could say that about the Giants, too.

1017
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,200
Right.

1018
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,720
But the Giants are ahead of them.

1019
00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:53,080
Yeah, Giants are knocking on the door.

1020
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:53,840
It's baseball.

1021
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,240
Nobody knows.

1022
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:56,200
All right, man.

1023
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,920
OK.

1024
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,680
I would say Arizona takes it.

1025
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,640
And then we'll let Milwaukee stay there, I think.

1026
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,040
They just, again, they have better pitching

1027
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,920
than the Reds do.

1028
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,120
Quite and simple.

1029
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,640
I think they'll keep that one.

1030
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,400
Having that said, my three wild card spots

1031
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:19,600
are Philly, LA Dodgers, and the Cincinnati Reds.

1032
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,720
Miami and San Francisco out.

1033
00:39:21,720 --> 00:39:22,240
Yeah.

1034
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:23,160
That's crazy.

1035
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:23,640
I knew.

1036
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,840
Woo.

1037
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:25,360
Wow.

1038
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,440
Logan Webb.

1039
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,960
What a fun.

1040
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,080
Aside from Logan Webb, their starting pitching

1041
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,680
is not great.

1042
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,360
Alex Trop is going to be going for strong.

1043
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,960
They've won five in a row.

1044
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,840
I know.

1045
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,040
They put up a four spot in extra innings today.

1046
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:40,520
They did.

1047
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:41,800
I saw that.

1048
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,800
They have a plus 39 run differential, San Francisco

1049
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,360
does.

1050
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,080
I'm just saying, because aside from Logan Webb,

1051
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,680
their pitching is inconsistent.

1052
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,800
And then you do have to fall out of the pen.

1053
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,440
But that's more of a draw.

1054
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,480
I like the Giants.

1055
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:54,960
See?

1056
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,760
I mean, if I had to predict how it ends up,

1057
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:58,680
I think the divisions stay the exact same.

1058
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,600
I don't believe in Cincinnati's pitching,

1059
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,240
so I think the divisions stay the same.

1060
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,440
I think it's Atlanta, Dodgers, Milwaukee.

1061
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,360
And then I think Philly sneaks into the wild card.

1062
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,800
I think it's San Francisco, Philly.

1063
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,960
And then maybe, I mean, we'll come back to this later

1064
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:13,960
for maybe the crazy takes.

1065
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:20,440
I think San Diego rises from the grave

1066
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:22,080
to beat Arizona, to beat Cincinnati.

1067
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,960
Because that's all you got to do is you just

1068
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,560
got to pass Cincinnati and Arizona, I guess Miami too.

1069
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,200
But I think Giants, Philly's Padres

1070
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,880
is my wild card for the national league.

1071
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:33,560
Kind of crazy.

1072
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,680
But I'm like, Philly's going to own the Padres.

1073
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:36,160
Oh, OK.

1074
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,320
A little sizzle.

1075
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:40,000
It's kind of hot.

1076
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:40,720
It's kind of hot.

1077
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:41,360
A little hot.

1078
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,280
A little hot.

1079
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,800
And then all I'm saying is the Phillies own the Padres.

1080
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,440
Thank you and good night.

1081
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,040
They do.

1082
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:48,480
They do.

1083
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,360
They're probably beating them as we speak.

1084
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,520
No, they're not actually.

1085
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,840
But we've already at least tied the four game set.

1086
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,600
So there you go.

1087
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,480
OK, Joe, let's hear some of your predictions.

1088
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,400
You want to touch the American League a little bit?

1089
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:00,960
Yeah, sure.

1090
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,360
How you feeling about your Rangers?

1091
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,040
What's going on?

1092
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Anything.

1093
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,240
It can be anything.

1094
00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:05,080
Let's hear.

1095
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,880
Honestly, I'm so just a few minutes ago,

1096
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,200
I was talking about how the Rangers are down 5-2 in the eighth.

1097
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,840
Rangers came back in 1-6-5.

1098
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,040
Oh.

1099
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,000
I think we put up a four spot in the bottom of the eighth.

1100
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,640
And Will Smith got the save.

1101
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,440
He's on my fantasy team.

1102
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,800
I had a boy.

1103
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:31,440
The way I think it's relatively consistent,

1104
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,160
I think, with the way the AL is going right now,

1105
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,400
except for just a few teams.

1106
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,160
I kind of want to touch on that.

1107
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:41,080
I'm really conflicted about Tampa Bay and Baltimore.

1108
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,640
Ooh.

1109
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:48,200
Like, because Ray started off red hot.

1110
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,720
And I'm not just glazing Gabe or whatever.

1111
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:53,120
I watched the O's.

1112
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:53,720
Good pen.

1113
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:54,960
He got good closers.

1114
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:55,840
Good relief.

1115
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,520
Your hitters consistent.

1116
00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,960
You guys, eight straight, one eight straight.

1117
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,680
Swept the J's.

1118
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,960
And there's a lot of so many positive things

1119
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,640
about Baltimore that I can speak about.

1120
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:08,600
Good prospects.

1121
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,400
You get just all around just super solid.

1122
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,920
And the Rays, I feel like the Rays with McClennahan out,

1123
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,680
they're pitching.

1124
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,840
They got good pitching.

1125
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,400
But sometimes they could scuffle a bit,

1126
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:22,960
as well as they're hitting.

1127
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,400
I feel like a lot of their guys are just either on and off.

1128
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,560
And at the beginning of the season, they were red hot.

1129
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,200
But then they kind of start, they cool down a little bit.

1130
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,240
And that's where they're at.

1131
00:42:31,240 --> 00:42:33,440
That's kind of where they're at right now, I feel like.

1132
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,840
So I don't want to predict anything

1133
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,200
for the end of the season.

1134
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,880
But it's going to be a dogfight like it is right now.

1135
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,320
You guys are only one game back.

1136
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,440
Did they lose today?

1137
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:47,440
Tampa.

1138
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,440
Tampa lost today?

1139
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,360
They might have.

1140
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:50,860
Hold on.

1141
00:42:50,860 --> 00:42:52,120
Let's look.

1142
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:53,480
Yeah, eight to four.

1143
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,640
Oh my gosh.

1144
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,760
We're one game back.

1145
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:57,760
Wow.

1146
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:59,520
We're breathing down their neck.

1147
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,920
And they lost to the Royals.

1148
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,280
We're breathing down their neck.

1149
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,480
We get them this weekend.

1150
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,520
We'll see if we can get them this weekend.

1151
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,560
Dude, and then just lost by Philly.

1152
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,200
Don't forget.

1153
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:08,960
Yeah, man.

1154
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,280
All asleep.

1155
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,200
Ooh.

1156
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:15,000
Yeah, so there's been a little shake up in the East.

1157
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:15,480
Ooh.

1158
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,720
How are you?

1159
00:43:16,720 --> 00:43:19,640
I thought the Rays were going to run away with the East.

1160
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,320
But I don't know, man.

1161
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:22,280
It's really close.

1162
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,840
As for the Central, yeah, like Brady said,

1163
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,000
I think the Twins are going to run away with it.

1164
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:30,080
And it's the Central, too.

1165
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,400
Let's just say, yeah, it's the AL mid.

1166
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,040
AL mid, baby.

1167
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:38,600
Yeah, as for the West, I don't know, man.

1168
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:39,160
Here we go.

1169
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,320
Here we go.

1170
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,320
I like it.

1171
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,160
As for the West, let's talk, Joe.

1172
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,560
I like it.

1173
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,120
Do you think you hold first place come the

1174
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,120
overfiring?

1175
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:49,840
I think we do.

1176
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,680
I think we do.

1177
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:51,760
I think we hold it.

1178
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,600
Wow.

1179
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,680
I agree.

1180
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:54,320
I do.

1181
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,120
I agree.

1182
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,400
I personally, OK.

1183
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:02,040
So we're still at one with John Gray being really cold right

1184
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:02,400
now.

1185
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,640
John Gray, Andrew Hiney, our only solid starter,

1186
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,960
I'm going to be honest, is Dane Dunning.

1187
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,040
Even Iovolvi.

1188
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,320
Even Iovolvi.

1189
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,480
He does have quality starts.

1190
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:15,200
But you watch his games and his performance,

1191
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,080
it's like for Iovolvi, it's kind of subpar.

1192
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,360
At the beginning of the season, he was red hot.

1193
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,080
Now, he's cooled off a bit.

1194
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:28,200
And even with the fluctuations with our pitching,

1195
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,320
and you know how the range is, our starting pitchers

1196
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,680
have a really hard time going deep into the game.

1197
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,680
And so that leaves our bullpen to cover for their crap.

1198
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,280
And then most of the time, we just

1199
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,280
end up giving away the lead and losing the game.

1200
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,280
And that's if our hitting isn't good.

1201
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,640
Also known as really special, by the way.

1202
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,240
Exactly.

1203
00:44:49,240 --> 00:44:51,320
Yeah, it's just like, honestly.

1204
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:57,200
And I think when one part of the Rangers game,

1205
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,880
like whether it be the bullpen or the starting pitching

1206
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:02,600
going a little deeper, the hitters kind of staying

1207
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,680
within themselves and stringing bases together

1208
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,320
to get more runs in, whether it be any of those things,

1209
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:12,960
that naturally improves every single other aspect of the game.

1210
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:18,000
And I mean, we saw that today with the Rangers.

1211
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,040
I think Martin Perez, he went either four or five innings,

1212
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,920
and he was taken out.

1213
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,960
We obviously didn't have hope.

1214
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:30,320
But our guys, our offense picked it back up,

1215
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,320
even though our bullpen didn't do the best job.

1216
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,680
And so we can still support each other,

1217
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:40,560
whether or not all the aspects of the game of the Rangers team

1218
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,120
is doing well for bat.

1219
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,720
So I think hopefully we can stay consistent.

1220
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:46,160
I don't know.

1221
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:47,280
Sorry, what were you going to say?

1222
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,000
No, I was just going to mention that.

1223
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:49,840
Oh, wait, who was talking?

1224
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:50,200
Brady?

1225
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:50,520
Go ahead.

1226
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,720
No, Brady, you go.

1227
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:54,440
I was just going to say Chapman got his first save on the team.

1228
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,040
He did.

1229
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,400
He did.

1230
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,480
Are they splitting save duties, Joe?

1231
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,000
Do you know what the deal is?

1232
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
Right now, they're trying to keep Will Smith

1233
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,600
as the main closer.

1234
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,880
But in the future, no one knows because I

1235
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,960
think Bocho was talking about how he was fine keeping

1236
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:15,920
Smith in the closing spot, which honestly, good for him.

1237
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,160
I think he has, I don't know how many saves he has,

1238
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,160
but he's missed one or two save opportunities.

1239
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:22,800
Only one or two.

1240
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:23,800
So he's been automatic.

1241
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,120
Yeah, he's been good.

1242
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,120
I think he just got the save today in the 6-5 game.

1243
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,200
So he's really clutch for us.

1244
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,000
Chapman as well, he's been solid.

1245
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,440
He'll be a really just a good relief

1246
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:36,960
pitcher we can rely on.

1247
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,360
So our bullpen has improved so much already from that.

1248
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,840
So I think Chapman being a really good addition to the team,

1249
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,960
I think we should be able to hold on to that West,

1250
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:49,800
the number one spot in the West.

1251
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,120
I'm not going to say that's a hot take.

1252
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:51,920
I think you can.

1253
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,120
It's a warm take, I think.

1254
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,400
It might be a Luke warm take.

1255
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,040
Yeah, Luke warm.

1256
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,040
I'm worried about Houston's pitching.

1257
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,240
That's what I was going to say.

1258
00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:04,960
Because their pitching is, for lack of a better word,

1259
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,520
it's just unbelievable.

1260
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,720
Turner Brown, Chris Javier, Framberg.

1261
00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:10,000
We have Lovaldez.

1262
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,800
Even in the game last night that you were talking about,

1263
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,520
was it last night when the Astros lost?

1264
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,120
Yeah, the walk-off.

1265
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:19,800
Didn't Framberg start that game?

1266
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,280
Yeah, he did.

1267
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,400
He struck out 13, but he gave up five runs later.

1268
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:24,760
Which is crazy.

1269
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,440
And he left with an ankle injury.

1270
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:26,920
Yeah.

1271
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,080
Who was interesting.

1272
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:28,720
Yeah.

1273
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:29,360
Yeah.

1274
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:30,080
I don't know.

1275
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,680
I think their pitching is pretty good.

1276
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,840
But then again, it all depends on who shows up that day.

1277
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,000
The thing is, the Rangers pitching

1278
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,760
is really good, too, the starting pitching.

1279
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,160
John Gray, Yovaldi, my guy Dane Dunning.

1280
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,840
Listen.

1281
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,120
Hate on the man.

1282
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:48,920
Dane Dunning's fan, yeah.

1283
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:49,840
Come on.

1284
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,680
Big Dane Dunning fan over here.

1285
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,440
Dane Dunning fans here on the show.

1286
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,560
Thank you, Dane Dunning fans.

1287
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:57,280
Dane Dunning, if you're ever listening to this, just,

1288
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:58,480
I love you.

1289
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,840
Fly me out to Texas, and let me watch you.

1290
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,400
Let Joe throw out the first pitch.

1291
00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:06,600
Yeah, let's get Joe to throw out the first pitch at a Rangers

1292
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:07,920
game, too, Dane Dunning.

1293
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,800
I'll throw some 90 poo on the mound.

1294
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,280
90 poo.

1295
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,400
There you go.

1296
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:15,400
Short hops the catcher.

1297
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,360
I would throw it to the backstop.

1298
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:18,840
Yeah, let's be honest.

1299
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,320
It's the cameraman.

1300
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:21,240
Yeah, it's his balls.

1301
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:24,200
I was in those videos.

1302
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:25,320
I beat that guy.

1303
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:26,680
We're playing hit the bowl.

1304
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,320
We're playing bulldurum here, where we hit the ball.

1305
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:30,160
Hit the bowl, OK.

1306
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,200
All right, mains.

1307
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,600
So then I'm going to touch on it a little bit on how I feel

1308
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:35,960
about what's going on.

1309
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,520
I did not believe that Tampa Bay is only a game ahead of us.

1310
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,000
Go birds.

1311
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,800
Sneak peek to our series to watch at the end of the episode.

1312
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,480
The O's go to Tampa at the end of this week.

1313
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,360
So I very well could hop on next week's show

1314
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,080
and just be demoralized, or I could be happy,

1315
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:54,880
or I could be even keel.

1316
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,840
If we split with the Dodgers in race, we go three and three,

1317
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:00,840
then you'll know I'm OK.

1318
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,600
But if we go one and five, I'm going

1319
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,320
to want to chop something off.

1320
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,200
The thing is, the Rays got the Rangers, too.

1321
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,160
Tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday.

1322
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:10,680
I know.

1323
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,400
They have a tough schedule.

1324
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,880
But you guys get McClanahan tomorrow.

1325
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,280
You get McClanahan.

1326
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,360
We'll get McClanahan on Friday or Saturday.

1327
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:21,840
Yeah.

1328
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,040
Saturday.

1329
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:23,640
Saturday.

1330
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,360
Mane.

1331
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,200
Yeah, it's going to be the Rays.

1332
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,880
They're in a tough spot right now.

1333
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:33,040
They got two great teams with great offenses.

1334
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:33,800
Yeah.

1335
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,200
It's going to be like I'm just going to say,

1336
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,000
those are the series to watch.

1337
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,280
Yeah, it's going to be a fun week to watch, man.

1338
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,400
So as for the Wild Card and Division

1339
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,720
of Leaders for the American League,

1340
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:49,680
I believe the O's to be a Wild Card team.

1341
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:51,480
I like Tampa a little too much.

1342
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,160
I think that they're proven.

1343
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,520
And I just think the O's are young at this point.

1344
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:58,920
I think the O's can still make a run.

1345
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:00,720
I don't trust their starting pitching

1346
00:50:00,720 --> 00:50:01,920
to make a deep postseason run.

1347
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:03,920
And I think that they'll win the one.

1348
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,720
They'll be a Wild Card team easily.

1349
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:10,680
But I'm just nervous because I don't think that they.

1350
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,760
I don't think they have what it takes to beat Tampa.

1351
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,000
And that might be sacrilegious as an O's fan to say that.

1352
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,160
But the start Tampa got off to, they're

1353
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,320
starting pitching when they're healthy,

1354
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,200
how good their bullpen is when they're rested.

1355
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,960
It's just too good for me to say that the O's pitchers.

1356
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,800
We have 13 straight quality starts.

1357
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:30,280
That's not going to keep up for the rest of the year.

1358
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,600
So there are going to be lulls.

1359
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:32,920
And I just, I don't know.

1360
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,120
I would love to see it happen.

1361
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,360
I just think the O's will finish like three or four

1362
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,640
back behind Tampa at the end of the season.

1363
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,880
And they'll be a Wild Card team.

1364
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,600
And they'll win 95 games or something like that.

1365
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,800
I think Texas.

1366
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,560
Oh, this is tough on me.

1367
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,200
Friendship's on the line.

1368
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,800
I like the rain.

1369
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:53,880
I do.

1370
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:56,760
I mean, they have such a good run differential.

1371
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,080
I'm going to say Texas wins the West.

1372
00:50:59,080 --> 00:50:59,920
I'm doing it.

1373
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:01,040
I'm saying Texas wins the West.

1374
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:01,880
Joe, I love you.

1375
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:02,720
We're still friends.

1376
00:51:02,720 --> 00:51:03,240
Love you.

1377
00:51:03,240 --> 00:51:05,120
Yeah, we're still friends.

1378
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:07,120
I think Texas wins the West.

1379
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:10,280
I just, I don't think Houston, I don't know,

1380
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,200
because your Don's coming back on Tuesday.

1381
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,920
Your Don.

1382
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,560
Yeah, it's scary to watch Houston when they're healthy.

1383
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:18,080
Yeah.

1384
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,480
I'm going to still keep it with Texas because of how good

1385
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:21,680
you've shown you can play.

1386
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:22,920
You just need to beat Houston.

1387
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,560
You can't lose three out of four.

1388
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:27,000
You just need to beat Houston, you can't lose three out of four

1389
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,800
to Houston next time you're playing.

1390
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:29,600
Yeah, we lost.

1391
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:33,800
You know, just only winning one game was kind of an eye-opener

1392
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:34,320
for me.

1393
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,600
It was like, we're done.

1394
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:37,920
That was in Texas too, right?

1395
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:38,760
Or was that in Houston?

1396
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:39,360
In Texas.

1397
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,000
Yeah, see, that's the thing.

1398
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,720
They're both in Texas.

1399
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:44,600
Just, yeah.

1400
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,840
At the Rangers.

1401
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,320
You know what, Brady?

1402
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,600
I'm going to mute you, OK?

1403
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:53,360
I'm horn.

1404
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,960
I think I like Minnesota to win the Central too.

1405
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,880
I like their pitching a little too much,

1406
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,120
as I've already touched on.

1407
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,040
Baltimore is the number one wild card team.

1408
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,520
Toronto is going to be a wild card team too.

1409
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,240
And then hear me out, another crazy take, Seattle.

1410
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:11,720
Seattle over Houston.

1411
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,720
Seattle over Houston is a final wild card spot.

1412
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:14,520
I think they get hot.

1413
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:15,720
They have the pitching to do it.

1414
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:18,200
They have a lineup that can get streaky.

1415
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,000
I think Seattle does that there.

1416
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:21,840
What about Boston?

1417
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:22,960
What do you think about Boston?

1418
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,160
I hate the P's.

1419
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,000
I just don't think they have it in them.

1420
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:26,840
I don't.

1421
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,320
They don't have good pitching at all.

1422
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,040
Their pitching is just, they have

1423
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:33,880
Kenley Jansen, who's skeptical in the pen.

1424
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,640
Yeah, they have Kenley Jansen.

1425
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,320
What about Ford Kluber?

1426
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:38,320
He's in the pen now.

1427
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:38,800
Yeah.

1428
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,840
Just kidding, I know.

1429
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:42,760
He's getting old.

1430
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,800
Yeah, he's getting old, man.

1431
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:45,760
I just, I don't know.

1432
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,440
Chris Sale is old.

1433
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,240
I don't even think he's back yet, dude.

1434
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:51,160
He's made of glass, dude.

1435
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,080
He's made of glass.

1436
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,640
Like, they're just scraping for pitching right now.

1437
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:59,040
And if Judge comes back, then I could see the Yankees doing it.

1438
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,880
But not in my good conscience can I

1439
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:02,200
pick the Yankees to make the pen.

1440
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:03,320
No, absolutely not.

1441
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,360
Even if they were, even if you knew

1442
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,960
they were going to make a wild card spot, you can't say it.

1443
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,000
Exactly, of course.

1444
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:10,880
Of course you.

1445
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:11,880
That's a crime.

1446
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:13,960
Out of respect for the rest of the league, you can't.

1447
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,840
Number one Yankees hater right here.

1448
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:16,760
Yeah.

1449
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:17,560
All of them.

1450
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:18,840
One A is right here.

1451
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:20,160
One A is right here.

1452
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,080
One Z is right here.

1453
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:23,920
One Z.

1454
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,480
I think, so I think it ends, I think

1455
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,200
it literally just ends the way it is.

1456
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,640
As much as I would love to see the Guardians take

1457
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:31,920
the central, the middle mid.

1458
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:36,160
I think they could run with it and take it away from Minnesota.

1459
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,080
But other than that, I think it stays the way it is.

1460
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,080
Yeah, I mean, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

1461
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:41,960
I think Chicago gets high.

1462
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:43,080
I think the White Sox win it.

1463
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:43,680
We're just kidding.

1464
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,000
OK, calm down.

1465
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,200
I think the Royals.

1466
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,200
Royals been high recently.

1467
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:48,160
They beat Tampa today.

1468
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,480
They beat Tampa today.

1469
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,720
That's a Kenji statement right there.

1470
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:52,440
Yeah.

1471
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:54,160
Kenji would be like, I like.

1472
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,200
I like watching the Royals, but I like Bobby Witt.

1473
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,320
He's like, I like how Detroit's playing lately.

1474
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,760
I think I'm going to go with Detroit.

1475
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:03,400
You know, I like token A's.

1476
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,560
You know, Fujinami's been picking it up.

1477
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,200
Kenji, if you're listening to this, we love you.

1478
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,400
We do love you, Kenji.

1479
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,600
We miss you right now.

1480
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,120
I love it.

1481
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,600
OK, well, we are running out of time.

1482
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:20,800
We've talked far too long about the second half and about Bryce

1483
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,720
Harper, probably.

1484
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:25,160
But really fast, guys, give me your hot take,

1485
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,040
your bogus hot take for the second half.

1486
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:28,760
Bogus hot take.

1487
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:30,920
Most outrageous thing you could think of happening,

1488
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,360
like big comeback, somebody gets traded,

1489
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:34,880
like somebody gets injured.

1490
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:35,600
What happens?

1491
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,240
Like who wins the World Series?

1492
00:54:38,240 --> 00:54:39,360
Belly to the Rangers.

1493
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:40,520
That's what I'm going to say.

1494
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,880
Belly to the Rangers.

1495
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:43,960
Belly to the Rangers.

1496
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:45,000
Belly to the Rangers.

1497
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,320
That's all I'm going to say.

1498
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:46,840
OK.

1499
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,440
I love it.

1500
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:49,640
Don't sleep on Arizona.

1501
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:50,240
Trade that line.

1502
00:54:50,240 --> 00:54:51,400
Trade that line.

1503
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,000
Raider says don't sleep on Arizona.

1504
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,200
That's your hot take.

1505
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,080
They're going to take the LCS.

1506
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:57,840
Coolest take.

1507
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:00,720
Saying they're taking the West is maybe the craziest thing

1508
00:55:00,720 --> 00:55:02,760
you've ever said on the show.

1509
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:04,200
Hey, that's what I'm here for.

1510
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,160
Got to make up for Kenji's blasphemy.

1511
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:06,920
That's true.

1512
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:07,360
That's true.

1513
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:07,720
I mean.

1514
00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:09,800
You're doing a pretty good job of it, if I can be honest.

1515
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,360
That's what we're here for this week.

1516
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:13,200
Yeah, you're filling the shoes pretty good.

1517
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,560
Don't sleep on Arizona.

1518
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:17,320
I think they could.

1519
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:22,800
Their pitching, aside from gallon, is mid.

1520
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:28,120
But I mean, all you need is mid pitching to step up

1521
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:31,840
and the lineup that they have, and you can run it.

1522
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,160
OK.

1523
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:38,000
And then my bogus take might not be bogus, might be bogus.

1524
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:41,880
The Padres are going to make the NLCS.

1525
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,440
I think that they easily get it done.

1526
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,000
Padres make the NLCS is my hot take.

1527
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,240
So I.

1528
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:51,560
The Phillies own them, though.

1529
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:53,240
So if they're both in the postseason,

1530
00:55:53,240 --> 00:55:54,440
the Phillies are running it.

1531
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:55,960
I'm telling you that right now.

1532
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:57,600
I think they make the NLCS, man.

1533
00:55:57,600 --> 00:55:58,480
I'm going to be honest.

1534
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,800
Hey, if they run it back against the Phillies,

1535
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,000
they can make the NLCS all they want.

1536
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:07,320
But the thing is, the Phillies, the Phillies, two months ago,

1537
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,040
they still had a negative record.

1538
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:09,960
You're right.

1539
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:10,480
You're right.

1540
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:11,800
Pads aren't that far away from.

1541
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:13,800
That's two months ago.

1542
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,640
Padres are five under 500 and seven and a half

1543
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:17,480
back of a wild card.

1544
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:19,960
But I think Arizona is going to fall off.

1545
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,040
I think Cincinnati will like I think

1546
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,520
Cincinnati's been on this super high with Ellie.

1547
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,120
I think they're going to kind of taper off.

1548
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:28,920
And so I think the Padres, if they

1549
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,320
can get good starting, you know those guys can hit,

1550
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,120
then I think that they're in a good spot.

1551
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:34,880
They can sneak in.

1552
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,360
And yeah, it's like another thing, too.

1553
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,720
While they're pitching, well, their pitching does well.

1554
00:56:39,720 --> 00:56:41,720
That's when they're hitting does bad.

1555
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:45,360
And with like Darvish, Darvish is a great pitcher.

1556
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,800
When he does hot, it's either no decision or he takes the loss.

1557
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:50,640
Yeah.

1558
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,600
Because the hitters just can't back.

1559
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,360
Well, what's kind of crazy to me is I'm looking,

1560
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,360
I'm on the MLB standings right now.

1561
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,240
The Padres have a plus 37 run differential,

1562
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:05,080
and they're five games under 500.

1563
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,720
Like they're positive, 37.

1564
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:11,600
The Giants, for reference, are positive 39.

1565
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,520
And the Giants are nine over 500.

1566
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,760
So I think that, like I said, some things go the Padres' way.

1567
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,760
I think they're in good shape.

1568
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,160
That's my crazy take.

1569
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,560
We'll quickly move through our series to watch.

1570
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:30,480
And then boys, get your DFA's ready to go.

1571
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,440
Rangers raise this week, as we've already touched on,

1572
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,000
in Tampa Bay, right, Joe?

1573
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:35,600
Or is it in?

1574
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:36,480
Oh, no, it's in Texas.

1575
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:37,000
It's in Texas.

1576
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:37,920
Yeah, it's in Texas.

1577
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,680
It's in Arlington.

1578
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:40,760
Rangers raise.

1579
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,360
A lot of good pitching matchups there.

1580
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,120
That's Monday through Wednesday.

1581
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:45,880
Dodgers at O's.

1582
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:47,440
That's also Monday through Wednesday.

1583
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,640
Those are going to be some great games as well.

1584
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:50,800
A couple interesting ones.

1585
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,520
Giants and Reds, two teams fighting for a wild card spot

1586
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:54,840
they play.

1587
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,200
Brewers, Phillies, two teams also contending

1588
00:57:58,200 --> 00:57:59,000
for playoff spots.

1589
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,960
Phillies need to continue to stay hot to keep up

1590
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,120
with the wild card leaders.

1591
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,360
As I already mentioned as well, Orioles at Rays this weekend.

1592
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:13,120
That'll be basically if the Rays and the Rangers

1593
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:17,040
play a close series and the Dodgers and O's do too,

1594
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,200
then you've got to think that O's, Rays will decide

1595
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,480
the division this weekend.

1596
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,920
Dodgers, Rangers also this weekend.

1597
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:26,400
Those are some of the big matchups

1598
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,160
to look out for, a lot of big division leaders

1599
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,200
getting in action.

1600
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,320
So yeah, make sure you guys tune into those.

1601
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,080
Pay attention to the scores.

1602
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,200
And without further ado, the section of the show

1603
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,680
everybody loves most, the DFA watch and the players to watch.

1604
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,080
So I'm going to kick it to Brady first.

1605
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:47,640
Who's getting DFA'd and who's getting, I guess, promoted?

1606
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,240
All right, well, the DFA watch, of course.

1607
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:55,520
I mean, last time I gave you guys a reliever out of the pen,

1608
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:57,560
which I don't think that's changed.

1609
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:58,840
He's still terrible.

1610
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:05,040
But to add somebody new to the mix, Christopher Sanchez.

1611
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,440
OK.

1612
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:07,880
He's the left-handed starter.

1613
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,560
He's the back end of our rotation.

1614
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:12,520
He's just abysmal.

1615
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,120
I swear, he loses every game he plays,

1616
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:16,760
even if we put up seven runs.

1617
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,680
He'll still find a way to lose.

1618
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:20,160
Yeah.

1619
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:21,320
He's just bad.

1620
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,880
We need to get, I would hope we could just

1621
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,640
find a way to trade very little and go

1622
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:30,560
get a half-decent starter to throw in there.

1623
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,560
After losing Zach Efflin last year,

1624
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,880
which he's on a tear right now.

1625
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,160
Got shelled today, though.

1626
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,280
And then my player of the year.

1627
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,000
I've given the same player, I've talked about the same player

1628
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:43,520
every week.

1629
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:46,680
He actually just hit a home run in the Padres game today.

1630
00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:47,920
Bryson Stott.

1631
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,040
OK.

1632
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:50,280
I've never heard of Bryson Stott.

1633
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:50,800
Who's that?

1634
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,280
Nope, never heard of him.

1635
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:53,920
But he's always there.

1636
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:59,760
But to add somebody new, hey, but definitely new.

1637
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,120
We have Johan Rojas, who got picked up from double-A ball.

1638
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,720
Yeah.

1639
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:07,880
From double-A ball.

1640
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:09,280
He's been playing really well.

1641
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,440
He made his debut yesterday.

1642
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:12,480
So OK.

1643
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:13,440
Word.

1644
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:14,120
Sounds good.

1645
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:16,720
Joe, who you got?

1646
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,520
DFA.

1647
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,560
I'm going to go with Mitch Garver for the Rangers.

1648
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,840
I know I'm just talking about the Rangers the whole time.

1649
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:29,200
But he was going to be the DH this year until Durant stepped

1650
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:29,680
in.

1651
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,520
I think Garver had an injury at the beginning of the year.

1652
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:33,160
But he's back.

1653
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:35,480
He's hit like four home runs in the span of I

1654
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:36,880
don't know how many games.

1655
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:38,200
Dude's all right.

1656
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:38,880
Dude's all right.

1657
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,200
He's a big fan.

1658
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,160
Why is he getting DFA?

1659
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,320
Because we don't really have a place for him on the team.

1660
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:47,440
Because he's a catcher.

1661
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,480
But we got Heim, who was an all-star.

1662
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:53,880
And Sandy Leon, who catches John Gray.

1663
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,960
And when John Gray does good, that's when Sandy Leon catches,

1664
01:00:57,960 --> 01:00:59,160
that's when John Gray does good.

1665
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,600
He's like John Gray's catcher.

1666
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,840
And so with those two catch Garver,

1667
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,480
he's caught probably 10 games, no, five games this season.

1668
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:09,880
His bat is not hot at all.

1669
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,160
He gets hot at the worst times when he doesn't need to be hot.

1670
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,800
He's cold when the Rangers need him to be hot.

1671
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:21,280
I think he could benefit from getting a few more reps down

1672
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,360
at round rock in AAA.

1673
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:25,400
It's not like this dude's awful.

1674
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:26,960
I want him off of my team.

1675
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:27,960
It's nothing like that.

1676
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:29,760
It's just I want him to get more reps.

1677
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,360
Because he could be really good.

1678
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:34,280
He could really be bad for us.

1679
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,960
He could get really hot.

1680
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,600
And so Garver, Mitch Garver is my DFA.

1681
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,000
OK, so not as much of a DFA watch,

1682
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:42,600
but maybe like a send-down watch.

1683
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:43,480
Yeah, send-down.

1684
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:44,360
Like a minor league.

1685
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:44,880
Yeah, send-down.

1686
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,040
I still love you, but not that much.

1687
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,040
Yeah.

1688
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:48,840
I don't know.

1689
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,440
Yeah, so it's not like that.

1690
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,080
I hate you, but I hate you a little bit.

1691
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:54,280
I got you.

1692
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,080
Yeah, I'm going to go with my boy.

1693
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:58,320
I said it again last week.

1694
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:00,360
I'm going to stick to Travis Jankowski, man.

1695
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,040
He's been staying solid.

1696
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,920
I picked him up in fantasy.

1697
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,440
Bros, I watched him play, dude.

1698
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:11,040
Today, he had three hard hit balls, two of them right to like,

1699
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:14,760
I think a pitcher come back that the pitcher caught one of them.

1700
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,160
It was just like piping hot.

1701
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,840
Groundball, the second base.

1702
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:21,480
And he obviously had a really good single today.

1703
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:22,920
And dude's bat is hot.

1704
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:23,800
He's quick.

1705
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,440
He's got a good arm in the outfield.

1706
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,400
He doesn't make any errors.

1707
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,280
He's such a solid addition to the team.

1708
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,680
He's playing over Duran in the field.

1709
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:34,600
Duran's DH-ing, and Jankowski's now playing in left field.

1710
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:36,680
And he's a solid addition to the team.

1711
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,960
He's helped, I think, boost our spirits a little bit

1712
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:44,240
when things have been tough, which they have been in the past month.

1713
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,240
So I think he's an amazing addition.

1714
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,960
I'm honestly, at the beginning of the season, he had an injury.

1715
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,240
And before that, I didn't like him at all.

1716
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:52,760
I was like, get this guy off my team.

1717
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:53,720
I hate his hair.

1718
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,240
But now it's just like the hair's been growing on me.

1719
01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:00,920
And I would love to see more of him in the upcoming games.

1720
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:01,560
OK.

1721
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:02,080
All right.

1722
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:02,920
So yeah.

1723
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:04,280
Got you.

1724
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:05,840
I'll be quick with mine.

1725
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,880
My DFA, I like how my O's have been playing.

1726
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:12,000
H straight means we haven't lost since prior to the last episode

1727
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,480
that we did.

1728
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:14,520
So I'm keeping the squad.

1729
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:15,720
I'm going to keep the O squad.

1730
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,720
So I'm going to go to my favorite team, the New York Yankees.

1731
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,040
I'm DFAing Josh Donaldson ASAP.

1732
01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:23,760
DFA all of them.

1733
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,200
DFA all of them, but Donaldson for sure.

1734
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,320
I saw a stat on Yes Network.

1735
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,280
I believe it was either right before the All-Star game

1736
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:33,040
or right before the break or since we've come back.

1737
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:36,520
And Donaldson has like 12 hits this year.

1738
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:39,320
10 of them are home runs.

1739
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,600
Like he's like, yeah, no.

1740
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:43,600
There was some crazy stat.

1741
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,440
There's only like three other players that have ever done

1742
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:47,480
that in the history of the sport.

1743
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,040
And he might give you a little bit of pot,

1744
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:50,480
but he's just not hitting at all.

1745
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:51,640
And when he does, he connects.

1746
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:55,560
But it's just some kind of crazy weird inconsistency.

1747
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:57,880
So I'm DFAing Donaldson.

1748
01:03:57,880 --> 01:04:00,360
But I had to give you a player to watch.

1749
01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:01,400
I'm really curious.

1750
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,400
Ryan O'Hearn, Orioles first baseman.

1751
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,760
He's kind of been put to a righty platoon,

1752
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,800
but he's hitting 310 with a 900 OPS.

1753
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:13,720
And he's been scorching the cover off the wall.

1754
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,560
The only player to have a higher hard hit rate in the league

1755
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:18,960
is Aaron Judge.

1756
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,800
That's how good he's been.

1757
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,320
The only player to have a higher hard hit rate

1758
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:28,480
is Ryan O'Hearn, Kansas City Royals legend, Ryan O'Hearn.

1759
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:29,600
So that's my guy to watch.

1760
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:30,600
I hope he can stay hot.

1761
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,080
We're going to face some righties this week.

1762
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,760
So that's my quicks.

1763
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,320
All right.

1764
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,360
Anybody got anything you guys want to end us off with?

1765
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:42,080
We don't have a MILF hat today.

1766
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:45,200
So I'm sorry to let you stuck around for the MILF hat.

1767
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,520
I don't love frogs that much.

1768
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:47,960
Vlad Junior for president.

1769
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:49,040
That's all I got.

1770
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,120
Vlad Junior for president.

1771
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:51,760
Brady wants a Canadian to be president.

1772
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:54,600
Maybe we'll lead off with that.

1773
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,040
Yeah, where's the clown war again?

1774
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:57,360
Yeah, where's the clown war again?

1775
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,280
You can throw that.

1776
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:03,360
But another successful episode, fellas.

1777
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:04,920
Kenji, we miss you, dude.

1778
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:06,600
We'll have him back next week, hopefully.

1779
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,360
I hope everybody will be here next week.

1780
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:09,600
Everybody have a great week.

1781
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:10,840
Go watch some good baseball.

1782
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,440
We got a lot of good games this week.

1783
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:15,040
Anybody want to send us off?

1784
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:16,320
Go Phillies.

1785
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:17,160
Go Phillies.

1786
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:17,720
Go Rangers.

1787
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:18,560
Pray for the Rangers.

1788
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,080
Pray for the Rangers.

1789
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:21,960
Pray for the downfall of the Rays as well.

1790
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,280
I think me and Gabe, we can.

1791
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:27,480
More than praying for anything, pray for the Rays downfall.

1792
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:28,600
No.

1793
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:30,400
And the Phillies downfall too while we're out here.

1794
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:31,360
Yeah, there you go.

1795
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:32,040
There it is.

1796
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:32,640
Phillies downfall.

1797
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:32,840
There it is.

1798
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:33,840
That's what we need.

1799
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:34,360
All right.

1800
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:35,640
Thank you for listening, guys.

1801
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:36,440
Have a good week.

1802
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:51,860
Thank you.
