1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Welcome, welcome back to the show everybody.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,820
It has been a long tumultuous three weeks,

3
00:00:05,820 --> 00:00:06,660
but we're back.

4
00:00:06,660 --> 00:00:07,700
The whole crew is here.

5
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:08,720
Tensions are a little high.

6
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,620
We have a fantasy football draft in a couple hours,

7
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:12,300
but we're going to talk football,

8
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,940
or baseball for a little bit.

9
00:00:14,940 --> 00:00:16,160
Welcome back to the show.

10
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,700
Let's hop right into it everybody.

11
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:18,800
We are back.

12
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,200
It's been almost a month.

13
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,240
We've been working on the show for a while.

14
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:24,040
We've been working on the show for a while.

15
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,840
We've been working on the show for a while.

16
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,560
We've been working on the show for a while.

17
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,220
We are back.

18
00:00:29,220 --> 00:00:31,720
It's been almost a month since we've released an episode.

19
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,440
I haven't seen everybody here in about a month, but we're here.

20
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,520
We're going to talk baseball today, not football.

21
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,960
A lot of topics to cover.

22
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Playoffs are getting near.

23
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,600
It's August 20th when we're recording this.

24
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,200
All the series are wrapped up except for Phillies Nationals,

25
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,280
which is on TV right now.

26
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,120
Brady's on the edge of his seat.

27
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,880
But yeah, we're going to talk some ball.

28
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,280
But first and foremost, we've got

29
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,840
to do our little check-ins.

30
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,200
Joe, I think it's been the longest since we've

31
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:57,880
had you on the show.

32
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,240
How are you doing first, my man?

33
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,200
I'm doing good.

34
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Up and down, kind of like the Rangers,

35
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,800
but we can get into that later.

36
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,760
Overall, all right, I would say.

37
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,600
Yeah.

38
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,520
OK, good to hear.

39
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Kenji, what's here?

40
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,520
What do you got to say?

41
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,600
I'm cool.

42
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:14,120
You're cool?

43
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,840
You always got something to say.

44
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,040
I'm cool.

45
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,160
You're cool.

46
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,440
He's just that kind of guy.

47
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,800
I'm just a cool guy.

48
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,640
I'm just a cool guy.

49
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,480
He's got his dress for the draft later.

50
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,240
Yeah.

51
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,840
That's true.

52
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Yeah, just, yeah.

53
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,440
He's got his Japan baseball jersey on for those

54
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:35,040
that are listening.

55
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,760
That's country in the world of baseball right here.

56
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,680
USA, who are you?

57
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,840
Japan is your daddy, that's right.

58
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,640
Three time, what was it, MVC champs, right?

59
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,040
I'm the three time world champion.

60
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Yeah, three time world champs.

61
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,960
But whatever.

62
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,600
Brady, lastly, but not least, how are you doing?

63
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Oh, we're here, baby.

64
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,640
Brady's here.

65
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,280
I didn't be here today.

66
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,760
New face cam.

67
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,240
Brady's feeling good.

68
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:01,640
New face cam, baby.

69
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:02,160
Yeah.

70
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,160
Look at the water on the first day.

71
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,160
Like a camera?

72
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,280
Well, we can talk about it later.

73
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,720
No, but now it doesn't look like he's

74
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,840
recording with a toaster.

75
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:12,240
Yeah, I know.

76
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,320
I was wondering why it looks so good today.

77
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,800
I'm actually curious why.

78
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,680
It's actually my phone camera.

79
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:24,800
It's been our buddy Tom told me about how to do it.

80
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,720
So we're chilling.

81
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Is it like something weird about it?

82
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Is that why you're dictating to tell me?

83
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,480
There's an app on the computer and an app on your phone,

84
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,200
and they connect together.

85
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,480
Word.

86
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,080
Is it just me, or I feel like he's being really sus about this

87
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560
for some reason?

88
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,240
Because Kenji, the people are here to listen to baseball.

89
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,000
They don't want to know how you're

90
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,520
feeling about technology.

91
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,680
We've already lost 50% of our viewers to this point.

92
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,960
So without further ado, maybe everybody's favorite topic,

93
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,720
we're going to headline with this one.

94
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,360
Maybe the biggest news of last few weeks.

95
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,560
22-year-old Wander Franco getting with some 14-year-olds,

96
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,080
supposedly.

97
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,680
I mean, yeah.

98
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,880
The crew has a lot to say about that one.

99
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,440
Kenji, let's go ahead.

100
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,320
What do you have to say about Wander's situation?

101
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,440
I didn't know he was 22.

102
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,400
I thought he was older.

103
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,760
No, he's 22.

104
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,480
Still not OK, by any means.

105
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,200
Eight years, yeah.

106
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,320
You're not excusing his behavior, are you?

107
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,160
Come on.

108
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Hey, one more.

109
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Chill out.

110
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:36,840
Chill out.

111
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Hey, hey, hey.

112
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,120
Someone's going to get the wrong way.

113
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,920
I'm going to be next.

114
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,040
Hey, he's the same age as me.

115
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,040
That's freaky, dude.

116
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,360
That's freaky.

117
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:46,160
You're old, dude.

118
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Jeez.

119
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Dude, I'm old.

120
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,200
How's the 14-year-old?

121
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,160
What grade are they in?

122
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Eighth grade?

123
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,000
They're in ninth grade.

124
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Eighth grade, ninth grade?

125
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,440
I have a little brother that age.

126
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,480
Dude, that's the age of kids that I teach Sunday school to.

127
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:00,360
That's freaky.

128
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:01,360
That's crazy, man.

129
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:01,960
That's wild.

130
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,440
That's weird.

131
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,400
Yeah, Wander, you better stay away from my Sunday school kids.

132
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Yeah.

133
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,680
So do you guys know all the drama behind it?

134
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Like, people from both sides?

135
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,040
OK, so there was a report.

136
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,360
There was a tweet that went viral,

137
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,080
because this guy from the DR, I think that's where he's from,

138
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,560
was posting stuff about the situation, said, oh, yeah,

139
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,120
he's been hooking up with his 14-year-old.

140
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,280
There were people from Wander's side that said that the girl was

141
00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:29,560
actually 19 and has a kid, but that she

142
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,640
was trying to clout chase and pretend to be 14,

143
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,640
because Wander wouldn't give her money.

144
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,760
But so then she came out and said all this stuff.

145
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,240
But apparently, it's pretty serious stuff.

146
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,680
There were people within the DR, inside sources,

147
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,160
that said that Wander supposedly may never

148
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,280
play a baseball game again.

149
00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:50,360
Yeah, I've heard that.

150
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,600
It's a hot blue mind.

151
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,160
Yeah.

152
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,840
I mean, this is like something you don't take lightly.

153
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,200
I mean, 22-year-old dating a 14-year-old is crazy.

154
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,760
I hope that it's not like a money grab from her.

155
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,280
And I hope that the truth comes out regardless.

156
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:06,920
But I mean, that's crazy.

157
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,800
I hope he gets back to the game.

158
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,520
Yeah, I mean, we have friends that

159
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,520
like to date women that are a couple of years younger than them.

160
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,320
Ben.

161
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,080
But I mean, that's not that crazy.

162
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:20,920
Hold on.

163
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,520
How old is Ben?

164
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,040
21?

165
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,560
He's dating.

166
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,360
He's 21.

167
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:23,860
OK.

168
00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:24,640
He's 19.

169
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,280
He's 21.

170
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,400
He goes after like 18, 19-year-olds.

171
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,960
That's weird, but that's not too crazy.

172
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,760
Right?

173
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,600
Yeah.

174
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,520
No.

175
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Eight-year gap.

176
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:41,640
If you think about it, eight years ago, we were 13, 14.

177
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,800
All right.

178
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,320
We're just a junior high.

179
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,760
I was going to say this, but I didn't even know I am.

180
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,840
What?

181
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:49,840
What?

182
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,760
I was just going to explain how innocent of a kid I was when I was 13.

183
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,800
Yeah, no, we don't need to go into that.

184
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,520
Never mind.

185
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:57,920
I do not.

186
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,720
Yeah, so WanderFranco, I guess kind of a felon, maybe.

187
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,520
A felon.

188
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,040
Definitely a bad look for the Raze.

189
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,840
We signed him to that long extension.

190
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:09,320
And he's a crazy good talent.

191
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Anyway, we're going to get into some updates on our primary biases.

192
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,400
Why do rich people and famous people just do dumb stuff?

193
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:18,880
There we go.

194
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,040
Yeah, no, go.

195
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,680
Tell us, Kenji.

196
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,480
Talk to me.

197
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,000
Talk to me.

198
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,680
If you've got millions and you're a 20-year-old baseball player

199
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,840
and you have to go for a minor, I don't get it.

200
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:31,320
Can't you have any girl in the world almost just

201
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,840
throw your 100 bands in front of their faces at a club

202
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:35,960
and they'll be all over you?

203
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,160
Isn't that how the world works?

204
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,480
This is true.

205
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:38,960
Right?

206
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:39,480
It's fair.

207
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,400
Why on God's green earth would you go after a 14-year-old?

208
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,680
Some people are just different, Kenji.

209
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,480
Not saying that Juan De Franco is just different.

210
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,280
Or no, no, no, I'm not defending him.

211
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:56,720
By any means, I'm not defending him.

212
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,680
It's just most people aren't like you.

213
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,760
And there's going to be some people that are weird,

214
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,520
some people that are more normal than you.

215
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,120
Hold on.

216
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:05,960
And it just happens.

217
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,640
The Earth is just the human population is very diverse.

218
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,480
So I'm not defending him by any means.

219
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,400
But by no means is Kenji normal, respectfully.

220
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,280
None of us.

221
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,120
Hey, yo, hey, yo.

222
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,920
I feel like I'm one of the more normal ones out

223
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,760
of our friend group, right?

224
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,320
The more normal ones?

225
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,560
Yeah.

226
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,080
Oh, jeez, that's a hot take.

227
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,560
I'm not going to do the sizzle sound because that's,

228
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,080
I think you're dead wrong there, Kenji.

229
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,240
You might be the weirdest one in all of this.

230
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,000
The Clamhorn.

231
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480
Should we make a poll or a chat saying

232
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,800
who's the most normal in our group?

233
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,240
I don't think anyone would win.

234
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,920
You would win by a landslide, Kenji.

235
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,520
You would be easily the weirdest.

236
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Hey, I'm just saying.

237
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,160
I'm just saying.

238
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:46,760
I think it's easy.

239
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,120
We can do that another episode, man.

240
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,720
We're getting sidetracked so quick today.

241
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,280
We're going to go into our bias.

242
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,720
Our favorite teams give some updates on those teams

243
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,360
that for the most part includes Rangers, Angels, O's, Phillies.

244
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Just to give you a little bit of a preview of what

245
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120
we're going to do today, we're going to go into our bias.

246
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,520
We're going to go into our bias.

247
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:11,760
We're going to go into our bias.

248
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,600
We're going into our bias.

249
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,240
We're going to go into our bias.

250
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,600
And then we're going to go into our bias.

251
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,400
So we're going to go into our bias and then we'll start

252
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,080
with the Phillies.

253
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,560
Just for the kicks, I mean, Brady,

254
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,080
what's going on with the Phillies?

255
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,920
I mean, we're just going to start with you.

256
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:27,720
Lead us up.

257
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,000
Well, last episode I was not in a very,

258
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,080
I was not happy with them.

259
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,600
He was not.

260
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,120
We're kind of working our way.

261
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,480
I'm satisfied with where we're at,

262
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,680
two home run game in the same inning.

263
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:46,680
Schwerber had multiple two home run games.

264
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,680
Cassiano's had a couple home runs this week.

265
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,580
Everybody's just those are bangin.

266
00:08:52,680 --> 00:08:53,180
Those are bad.

267
00:08:53,180 --> 00:08:54,080
That's what we need.

268
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,380
That's what we need to do.

269
00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:00,180
Our hitting kids stay consistent and our pitching is even mediocre

270
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:00,980
will be pretty good.

271
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:02,380
All right.

272
00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:02,980
Okay.

273
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,280
I mean, I don't have too much to say about the Phillies my guy

274
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,280
Michael Lorenzen through a no-no.

275
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:07,980
That was funny.

276
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:10,780
Are you guys in first place in your division?

277
00:09:11,380 --> 00:09:14,080
No, no, not even close.

278
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,280
Wooping everybody's trash.

279
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,680
Oh, that's right.

280
00:09:16,680 --> 00:09:17,380
They're in your division.

281
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:18,180
That sucks.

282
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,180
Not even close.

283
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,580
Well, hey, we have the number one wild card spot by a three game

284
00:09:23,580 --> 00:09:27,080
lead which is a very easy play in the playoffs right now.

285
00:09:28,580 --> 00:09:34,180
We would play the Brewers assuming they hold the division lead.

286
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:35,880
Yeah, we play the Brewers.

287
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,680
Assuming they hold it, which is it that's a that's like a snoozer

288
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:40,280
of a series.

289
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,280
I'm going to be really honest.

290
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:41,880
That's a weird.

291
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,380
I'm not watching that series.

292
00:09:44,380 --> 00:09:45,280
I'm going to keep the buck.

293
00:09:46,580 --> 00:09:51,980
Joe Rangers tough weekend in Arlington.

294
00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:54,480
What's the what's the what's the news on the Rangers?

295
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:58,080
I feel like like the doctors just diagnosed the Rangers with

296
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,780
like bipolar disorder or something.

297
00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:00,680
It's crazy.

298
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,580
Like I don't get it.

299
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,080
I just don't get it.

300
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,780
Like sure, you're going to have bad series.

301
00:10:08,180 --> 00:10:12,380
But when you think about the way they played against the Brewers

302
00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:15,980
this weekend compared to the beginning after like the trade

303
00:10:15,980 --> 00:10:19,580
deadline when they swept the Rays, right?

304
00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:24,980
So the Guardians, I think they were 8-0 the last games before

305
00:10:24,980 --> 00:10:29,480
they lost lost one game to the A's or the A's or the Giants.

306
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,980
I can't remember but I just don't get it.

307
00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:33,280
I mean, it's baseball.

308
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,980
I get it happens where you just gone cold streaks, but it's

309
00:10:36,980 --> 00:10:39,480
really frustrating especially when you're you're hitting

310
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:45,280
as so much potential and you just strike out 17 times in

311
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:45,880
one game.

312
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:46,780
It's just tough.

313
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:47,980
That's all I'm going to say.

314
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:48,680
17 times?

315
00:10:48,680 --> 00:10:49,680
Injuries too, right?

316
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:51,280
I think it was 17 or something like that.

317
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,480
It was it was what I mean, like to be fair Peralta had a

318
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,880
good game, but he went five innings five or six.

319
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:07,180
He either had 10 or 11 K's but still giving away 7 to bullpen

320
00:11:07,180 --> 00:11:09,080
guys. I don't know.

321
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,980
It's just it happens is baseball, you know, their their

322
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:15,380
offense is electric but sometimes, you know, every every

323
00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:16,780
team has downfalls.

324
00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:20,280
Yeah, like the Rays with Blondie Franco.

325
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,180
I'm getting sidetracked though, but yeah, so that's kind of

326
00:11:26,180 --> 00:11:28,280
where the ranges are at where I think we're still two and a

327
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,780
half games back or Astros are two and a half games back from

328
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:32,080
us.

329
00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:34,680
Yeah, cuz I see you will see how it goes.

330
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,680
We'll talk about it.

331
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,080
I mean, it's the Mariners struggles is like because of

332
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:38,780
your injuries.

333
00:11:39,780 --> 00:11:43,180
I think now you that you look at it because our injuries.

334
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:46,680
Yeah, cuz it's been crazy since the second half how many guys

335
00:11:46,680 --> 00:11:47,480
have gone down.

336
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:48,780
I'm gonna keep it a buck.

337
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,280
Josh Young is out right now our third baseman Ezekiel Duran

338
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,580
our replacement third third baseman made three errors today.

339
00:11:56,580 --> 00:12:05,980
Oh, Josh Young's fraudulent fraud rookie of the year Gunnar

340
00:12:05,980 --> 00:12:08,380
Henderson Gunnar Henderson to win rookie of the year.

341
00:12:08,380 --> 00:12:13,180
If he didn't get injured, you're probably right.

342
00:12:13,180 --> 00:12:13,980
You didn't get injured.

343
00:12:13,980 --> 00:12:15,980
He probably would but you're lucky.

344
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:18,180
Hey, what about our boy Yoshida?

345
00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:18,480
Huh?

346
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,280
What happened to him?

347
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,580
I forgot.

348
00:12:21,580 --> 00:12:28,280
All right, Kenji, you want to take the Angels?

349
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,080
Yeah, do the Angels.

350
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,580
What's up?

351
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:31,880
You don't want to talk about it.

352
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,880
So I mean first some context for listeners.

353
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,680
We watched was it raised Angels on Friday night where they

354
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:42,980
gave up three or four runs in the top of the 10th times are

355
00:12:42,980 --> 00:12:44,780
real rough in Angel Land.

356
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,680
I mean, Otani is leaving for sure.

357
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,780
They keep bringing up rookies that have been in the organization

358
00:12:53,780 --> 00:12:54,580
for like 30 days.

359
00:12:54,580 --> 00:12:57,980
The rookie got on base more than like half of our team.

360
00:12:57,980 --> 00:12:59,380
Better than Rendon.

361
00:12:59,380 --> 00:13:04,080
What team does Rendon play for?

362
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,780
I don't understand.

363
00:13:05,780 --> 00:13:11,280
I mean like we look so good and then just fell apart and then

364
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,580
we barely beat him 7 to 6 and then the next second game we

365
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:15,780
lose like 4 to 15.

366
00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:18,280
I just I don't I don't know.

367
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,280
Yeah, Angel Land.

368
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,280
Angel Land.

369
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,780
It just boils down to consistency.

370
00:13:21,780 --> 00:13:23,480
I mean you guys are so young.

371
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,880
They haven't learned that part of the game yet and just bound

372
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:27,480
to happen.

373
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,180
Yeah, I mean I think the team will be really good in a couple

374
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:34,980
years pitching wise because every pitcher is so young.

375
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:38,880
Yeah, but besides that, I just don't know because we have just

376
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,980
terrible contracts like we can't get rid of Rendon's contract.

377
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:43,580
It's enormous.

378
00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:46,480
Yeah, and he has a lot of good players.

379
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,480
It's enormous.

380
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,680
And he has to pick.

381
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:51,580
Even though he's awful this year.

382
00:13:51,580 --> 00:13:55,480
I just I'm definitely going to pick a new team this off season

383
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,080
probably.

384
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480
So let me know what team I should choose.

385
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,780
At this point pick the Oakland A's.

386
00:14:02,780 --> 00:14:05,380
Yeah, I'm good.

387
00:14:05,380 --> 00:14:08,080
I don't enjoy watching them and I enjoy watching baseball, but

388
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,380
I don't enjoy watching.

389
00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:11,580
Tigers on the come up Kenji.

390
00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:12,280
I'm telling you.

391
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:12,980
Hey, they're offensive.

392
00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:14,480
They're Royals.

393
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,380
The Royals. Hey Bobby Whitby my boy, you know what I saw.

394
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:22,380
So this is a good transition into let me I'm going to geek out

395
00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:23,480
about the O's for a second.

396
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,380
The Royals and the O's had back-to-back picks in the first

397
00:14:27,380 --> 00:14:29,580
round of the 2019 MLB draft.

398
00:14:29,580 --> 00:14:33,680
The O's took Richmond and the Royals took Whit and the Royals

399
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,180
farm system is ranked in like the late teens early 20s and

400
00:14:37,180 --> 00:14:39,580
the O's has been number one for five straight years now.

401
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:44,980
I don't think that's like just by coincidence.

402
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:46,880
I think the Royals just suck at developing talent.

403
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,380
Sorry, but I'll be what's bad.

404
00:14:50,380 --> 00:14:52,780
Bobby what is good, but the only picture they've developed

405
00:14:52,780 --> 00:14:58,180
since then is Brady Singer and he's been okay and what is

406
00:14:58,180 --> 00:14:58,480
great?

407
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,580
What is fantastic?

408
00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:01,280
He's going to be a superstar for years to come.

409
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,680
But if they can't Salvador Perez getting old, I'm not here

410
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,580
to talk about the Royals.

411
00:15:05,580 --> 00:15:06,280
I'm so sorry.

412
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,780
I don't want to either.

413
00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:11,180
No, the O's we just got off a West Coast Road trip.

414
00:15:11,180 --> 00:15:13,280
We won six out of the nine games.

415
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:14,980
We swept Oakland this weekend.

416
00:15:14,980 --> 00:15:20,680
That was delightful to see Oakland come up on the schedule

417
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,480
after losing two out of three of the Padres.

418
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,780
Yeah, we smacked Oakland.

419
00:15:25,780 --> 00:15:26,980
They are they suck.

420
00:15:26,980 --> 00:15:29,480
We scored five runs in the tent yesterday and we dropped

421
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,980
11 or 12 on their head today.

422
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:33,480
O's are banging in.

423
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,180
We're 30 games over 500.

424
00:15:35,180 --> 00:15:37,680
I don't remember that ever happening before and they sure

425
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,480
the organization and according to fan graphs, they have a

426
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,580
99% chance to make an playoffs.

427
00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:45,780
Wow, having a good day.

428
00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:49,180
Having a good day a good year to be an O's fan, but that's

429
00:15:49,180 --> 00:15:52,080
because I suffered for like the last seven.

430
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Since you guys have known me my teams have been bad.

431
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,780
So I'm enjoying this year.

432
00:15:57,780 --> 00:15:58,580
My team is being good.

433
00:15:58,580 --> 00:16:00,780
Frankly respect.

434
00:16:00,780 --> 00:16:04,380
Yeah, and then we'll move forward a little bit here.

435
00:16:04,380 --> 00:16:06,380
Talk about the Padres briefly.

436
00:16:06,380 --> 00:16:08,680
They're the weirdest team in baseball.

437
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,280
I know I said that I think they sneak into the playoffs.

438
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680
I am here to declare them dead right now.

439
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,880
They're not going anywhere.

440
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:16,680
What happened?

441
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,880
They beat they beat two out of three against the O's.

442
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280
They played fantastic against Baltimore.

443
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,980
I went to all three of those games.

444
00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:25,880
I was in there in person.

445
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,180
The Padres played great.

446
00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:28,680
That stadium is awesome, too.

447
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,280
So are those fans, but then they get the Diamondbacks who

448
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,280
had lost like eight of ten coming in.

449
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,080
They get them at home and they lose three out of four to the

450
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,880
Diamondbacks in San Diego to like just essentially seal

451
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:43,680
their fate.

452
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,580
Yeah, three out of four to the Diamondbacks including their

453
00:16:47,580 --> 00:16:48,080
doubleheaders.

454
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,980
I think they got swept in the doubleheader yesterday.

455
00:16:49,980 --> 00:16:54,480
It's yeah, I just I don't even know what it is because they

456
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,080
played so good against the O's.

457
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,380
I was like, oh, they're easily going to take three out of four

458
00:16:58,380 --> 00:17:00,680
against the Diamondbacks at home and then they lose three

459
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:01,080
out of four.

460
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,280
It was just really bizarre.

461
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Talk about bipolar.

462
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:06,680
Yeah, no, no kidding.

463
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,580
I mean if we're gonna yeah, we're talking bipolar.

464
00:17:09,580 --> 00:17:10,780
I think Rangers are up there.

465
00:17:10,780 --> 00:17:14,780
Rangers, San Diego, Phillies occasionally.

466
00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:19,280
Angels are just like clinically depressed.

467
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:20,280
They're just bad.

468
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,280
Yeah, they just suck.

469
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,780
The Padres just play to the level of their competition.

470
00:17:26,780 --> 00:17:28,580
Just plain and simple.

471
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:29,480
They do.

472
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,680
Yeah, but yeah, just too bad because you love to see them

473
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:34,480
in the Padres are good.

474
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:35,280
That crowd is great.

475
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,180
The family, the team is great.

476
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:40,280
They got a lot of fun guys, but they just cannot win ballgames.

477
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,080
So what is it?

478
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,680
Is it their bullpen or is it just they just can't hit?

479
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,880
No, there's not winning close game.

480
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,080
So it's kind of yeah, so it's crazy because you can go look

481
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,080
at their run differential on like any standings anywhere.

482
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,080
They have virtually the same run differential as the O's do

483
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,780
but the problem is is that the Padres when they win their

484
00:18:01,780 --> 00:18:04,180
smacking teams like they're beating the brakes off of them,

485
00:18:04,180 --> 00:18:07,180
but they lose all the close games one run to run three run

486
00:18:07,180 --> 00:18:07,480
games.

487
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:08,380
They're losing all of them.

488
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,980
Which is crazy because they got Josh hater, right?

489
00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:12,580
Like, you know, they have hater in the back.

490
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:15,480
They've got the one through six in that lineup.

491
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Yeah, one through six in that lineup is gross.

492
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,980
You go from Kim to Soto, Tatis, Machado, Bogarts.

493
00:18:22,980 --> 00:18:25,080
Like that's Gary.

494
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,280
Yeah, Gary who had a grand slam this last week.

495
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:34,080
Yeah, hater still has a sub one ERA.

496
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:34,680
That's the thing.

497
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,080
So it's not hater who's blowing.

498
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,780
It's the guys ahead of them.

499
00:18:37,780 --> 00:18:41,480
Yeah, it's middle relief and the big guys aren't just hitting

500
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,280
either like when they need to be hitting they're not hitting.

501
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,480
They can do it in the average time when they're up eight runs,

502
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,280
but yeah, so they can each hit a home run in the same game.

503
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:52,280
Yeah.

504
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:52,880
Yeah.

505
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,680
Padres continue to struggle.

506
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,980
I'm declaring them dead.

507
00:18:56,980 --> 00:18:57,580
I think they're out.

508
00:18:57,580 --> 00:19:02,580
And now my favorite part of the podcast, the Yankees have lost

509
00:19:02,580 --> 00:19:04,580
eight games in a row.

510
00:19:04,580 --> 00:19:05,880
I'm so happy.

511
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,080
I'm so happy.

512
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,380
Always a good day.

513
00:19:09,380 --> 00:19:11,280
God is good, my friends.

514
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:12,080
God is good.

515
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,280
God is so good.

516
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,480
Yanks have lost eight in a row.

517
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,280
They got swept by the Red Sox this weekend.

518
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Who did they get swept by before?

519
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,480
I don't remember, but it's all been at home.

520
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,180
That crowd has been so mad at them.

521
00:19:26,180 --> 00:19:30,780
Garrett Cole gave up six earned yesterday.

522
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:36,880
Yankees are just really struggling and it couldn't happen to a nice organization.

523
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,080
Frankly, they haven't been this far below 500 since like 1990,

524
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080
this late in the season.

525
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,480
You'll love to see it.

526
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,680
We have some Yankee friends, but we're wallowing.

527
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080
Not wallowing, they're wallowing.

528
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,080
We're really excited.

529
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,080
We're rejoicing.

530
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,780
We're just extremely glad.

531
00:19:56,780 --> 00:20:02,980
I bet our Yankees friends couldn't name five players on the Yankees right now.

532
00:20:02,980 --> 00:20:06,480
I guarantee you they couldn't even start to name the starting roster.

533
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,680
No, Jaden could, Ben could not.

534
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Did you guys see that?

535
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:19,180
I think Justin Turner had a go ahead three run homer in the eighth or ninth today.

536
00:20:19,180 --> 00:20:25,280
And I think in that same inning, Volpe hit a three run, three on homer to tie it.

537
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,080
And they still lost.

538
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:32,880
So that's when you know, it's a good day to be a Yankees fan.

539
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:41,280
It's just a good judge on the IL and just haven't been done for the year to prevent any further risk.

540
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,480
I don't know, man.

541
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,580
You know what the craziest part of all the Yankee stuff is?

542
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:47,080
Is that the team still thinks they're in it.

543
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:52,980
Like you can listen to Boon or judge talk like post game and Boon this entire week.

544
00:20:52,980 --> 00:20:57,280
He goes up to the podium and he's like, we're just a couple of streaks away from being right in it.

545
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,080
And judge is like, we have all the guys we need.

546
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,280
We're right where we want to be.

547
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,180
And we're like, dude, you're four games below 500 in AL East.

548
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:05,080
You're not going anywhere.

549
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,480
Like you got to start.

550
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,680
It's August 20th.

551
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,080
The regular season is done in like 35 games, 40 games.

552
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,080
Like you got to get it going now.

553
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,580
So, I mean, I'm rejoicing.

554
00:21:17,580 --> 00:21:18,580
I'm so happy.

555
00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:21,680
I frankly, this is the happiest I've been talking about the Yankees ever.

556
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,580
How far did they go last year?

557
00:21:23,580 --> 00:21:25,880
First round of the wild card was in it.

558
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,780
They lost the championship series last year.

559
00:21:27,780 --> 00:21:30,880
I thought that judge would be terrible and they just went nowhere.

560
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Didn't they play Houston this year in the championship series?

561
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,680
Yeah, they lost to Houston.

562
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,080
In the championship series.

563
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,080
Did they get swept?

564
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,280
Yeah, they got swept.

565
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,980
They got swept in the LCS.

566
00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:43,080
Even better.

567
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,580
Even better, man.

568
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:45,280
Even better.

569
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,780
Go that far, just go that far.

570
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:50,580
Yeah, he's won the same number of ALCS games last year.

571
00:21:50,580 --> 00:21:55,080
But yeah, can't stand the Yankees.

572
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,080
It's a great day to be a Yankee hater.

573
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,780
It's such a good day to be a Yankee hater.

574
00:21:58,780 --> 00:22:02,480
It's also a great day to be an Astros hater.

575
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,180
Who's with me?

576
00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:04,280
That's right.

577
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,180
That's right.

578
00:22:05,180 --> 00:22:06,480
Yes, sir.

579
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,780
With the help of Julio, the Mariners have swept the Astros.

580
00:22:10,780 --> 00:22:12,080
Which is big time.

581
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,880
Because then Toronto could maybe squeak in and take Houston out of the wildcard.

582
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:18,880
I would love that.

583
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,680
I don't know if Houston's not going anywhere.

584
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,680
I don't think.

585
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,080
I'm just happy because Texas got swept too.

586
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,080
That's all I'm going to say.

587
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:26,880
We got swept.

588
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,380
So we needed the Mariners to pull through and they did.

589
00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:32,180
So thank you Seattle.

590
00:22:32,180 --> 00:22:33,080
I appreciate it.

591
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,880
Maybe as a reward you guys should just like get a little Tony or something.

592
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,580
I don't know.

593
00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:37,080
Yeah.

594
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,480
I'm super glad.

595
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,580
That'd be fun if he was on that team.

596
00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:42,080
That'd be so fun.

597
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,580
I love Scambard.

598
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:44,280
Every Julio I get there.

599
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,080
And then Ohtani and just be able to mix with the pitching staff that's capable of.

600
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,780
Dude, that pitching staff, if they get Ohtani, will turn into the best pitching staff.

601
00:22:53,780 --> 00:22:59,180
They could have like a solid six man rotation, honestly, where the world would fall apart

602
00:22:59,180 --> 00:23:01,680
when Ohtani doesn't pitch for them.

603
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,680
No, it would not.

604
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:03,680
Absolutely.

605
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,980
I think they could sell out that stadium every night too.

606
00:23:05,980 --> 00:23:07,680
Oh, guaranteed.

607
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Just think, you go from Ohtani to Luis Castillo.

608
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,680
And then you have three young guys on the back end at Gilbert, George Kirby and Bryce Miller.

609
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,880
Kirby is insane.

610
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,480
I just want to tell you, he's so good.

611
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:25,980
I've never like, he's a scrawny little fellow, but he throws like 90, 100 and he rocks like

612
00:23:25,980 --> 00:23:26,680
nobody.

613
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,780
He swings to it's crazy.

614
00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:29,680
All rookies, right?

615
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,380
They're all, they're all really young.

616
00:23:32,380 --> 00:23:33,380
I don't think they're all rookies.

617
00:23:33,380 --> 00:23:34,280
I don't think they are.

618
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,680
Because I know they have like their occasional bad games, but like their games are.

619
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,080
Yeah.

620
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,180
Disgusting.

621
00:23:39,180 --> 00:23:39,480
Yeah.

622
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:39,880
It's wild.

623
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,180
I'm pretty sure, like it's crazy.

624
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:45,880
I'm pretty sure Gilbert and Kirby are in their second year and Bryce Miller is the only

625
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,780
rookie.

626
00:23:46,780 --> 00:23:47,280
Okay.

627
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:47,880
Yeah.

628
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,080
Yeah.

629
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,080
He still pitches really good outings.

630
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:51,980
Yeah.

631
00:23:51,980 --> 00:23:55,080
For first year rookie on the mound.

632
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,180
Great job.

633
00:23:56,180 --> 00:23:57,280
Very good.

634
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:57,680
Yeah.

635
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,380
It's just their offense is letting them down a lot.

636
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:00,480
I feel like.

637
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:01,080
Yeah.

638
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,280
For their first half, those lend them down, but now they're picking back up.

639
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:04,880
So.

640
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,980
Julio set a record.

641
00:24:05,980 --> 00:24:07,580
What was it for hits in four games?

642
00:24:07,580 --> 00:24:08,680
Seven, 17.

643
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,880
17.

644
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,480
Dude, seeing, going on Griff's team and clicking on Julio and seeing the hits.

645
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:14,780
Crazy.

646
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:16,980
Just like does not make sense to me.

647
00:24:16,980 --> 00:24:17,980
No.

648
00:24:17,980 --> 00:24:23,780
Like why does that guy just get the best players all the time?

649
00:24:23,780 --> 00:24:24,380
Yeah.

650
00:24:24,380 --> 00:24:25,580
Oh, Griff?

651
00:24:25,580 --> 00:24:27,680
Yeah, Griff's fantasy team for those that are wondering.

652
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,980
We have a friend, Brady's little brother actually, who has a loaded fantasy team.

653
00:24:32,980 --> 00:24:33,680
Doesn't make sense.

654
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:33,980
How?

655
00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:38,680
Greatly from Julio Rodriguez setting that hit record.

656
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,680
Yeah, kind of crazy.

657
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,780
Brady, now I'm going to let you take the point on this next topic because you are a resident

658
00:24:43,780 --> 00:24:46,780
college baseball connoisseur.

659
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:50,380
Paul Skeens is having quite the year.

660
00:24:50,380 --> 00:24:52,580
Tell us a little bit.

661
00:24:52,580 --> 00:24:57,680
Personally, I think he should have been the only player to be brought up this for the

662
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,280
rest of this season.

663
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:04,180
Aside from the Angels player, I still can't pronounce his name.

664
00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:04,480
I don't know.

665
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:12,280
I call him Chanel, but anyway, anyway, he looks unbelievable.

666
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,880
He looks so gross.

667
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,880
I don't know why Pittsburgh hasn't already pulled him up.

668
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:17,580
He's in.

669
00:25:17,580 --> 00:25:25,680
They moved him from rookie ball to single a and he's just been shoving having the best

670
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,980
college boys summer ever.

671
00:25:27,980 --> 00:25:28,480
Yeah.

672
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,380
Best hot boy summer.

673
00:25:29,380 --> 00:25:30,280
I think we've ever seen.

674
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,480
He won the title.

675
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,680
I got drafted number one.

676
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,380
And what did you say, Brady?

677
00:25:35,380 --> 00:25:37,680
Now he's dating Libby Dunn.

678
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,180
Oh, baby.

679
00:25:39,180 --> 00:25:39,980
She's a shoddy.

680
00:25:39,980 --> 00:25:44,480
Yeah, he's having quite the time for himself right now.

681
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:50,080
But I think regardless, if they're not pirates aren't going anywhere, they'll probably wait.

682
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:55,980
I think he should be there day one starter to start their opening day starter of next

683
00:25:55,980 --> 00:25:57,580
season because the Pirates have.

684
00:25:57,580 --> 00:25:59,380
I do.

685
00:25:59,380 --> 00:26:04,980
They have a good farm system, right?

686
00:26:04,980 --> 00:26:06,780
From what I saw, they do.

687
00:26:06,780 --> 00:26:07,680
They got some good stuff.

688
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:14,180
It's just Mitch Keller's great, but he's the opening day guy.

689
00:26:14,180 --> 00:26:14,680
Wow.

690
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,180
I think if they were smart, I think if they were smart, they would.

691
00:26:19,180 --> 00:26:20,180
Absolutely.

692
00:26:20,180 --> 00:26:21,680
Wow.

693
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,580
I think absolutely.

694
00:26:23,580 --> 00:26:23,980
They should.

695
00:26:23,980 --> 00:26:24,780
Who do you think?

696
00:26:24,780 --> 00:26:25,580
Who are they going to start?

697
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:26,380
Oviedo?

698
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:27,780
Mitch Keller.

699
00:26:27,780 --> 00:26:29,380
Who else?

700
00:26:29,380 --> 00:26:31,880
It's going to be better than Mitch Keller.

701
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:32,780
I guarantee it.

702
00:26:32,780 --> 00:26:35,580
I don't think that they start him over Keller in his first year.

703
00:26:35,580 --> 00:26:36,380
That's crazy.

704
00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:39,280
If they're smart, they should.

705
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,580
Do I think they will?

706
00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:41,380
No.

707
00:26:41,380 --> 00:26:43,780
I think he comes up in like June next year.

708
00:26:43,780 --> 00:26:47,180
I think Brady's just getting a little excited because he's dating Libby Dunn.

709
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:48,480
That's like all I'm going to say.

710
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,580
That's what he wants.

711
00:26:49,580 --> 00:26:51,380
He wants to see Libby Dunn at Big League Games.

712
00:26:51,380 --> 00:26:51,980
That's what he wants.

713
00:26:51,980 --> 00:26:56,780
Brady just brought books of flight to Pittsburgh on March 31st.

714
00:26:56,780 --> 00:27:02,980
I've seen that guy throw 120 pitches and still pump 102 out of his arm.

715
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:09,180
You can't be any better than that guy was in college baseball.

716
00:27:09,180 --> 00:27:10,380
You can't.

717
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:12,580
There's a reason for that.

718
00:27:12,580 --> 00:27:16,380
No, he was at Air Force.

719
00:27:16,380 --> 00:27:18,780
He was in the Army Transmitting Air Force.

720
00:27:18,780 --> 00:27:21,780
He was in the Air Force actually.

721
00:27:21,780 --> 00:27:22,980
Of course he was.

722
00:27:22,980 --> 00:27:29,380
He joined the Air Force before.

723
00:27:29,380 --> 00:27:32,180
He played at Air Force Academy at the University.

724
00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:34,980
It's like an actual like in the military though to do that.

725
00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:35,580
Maybe.

726
00:27:35,580 --> 00:27:37,780
I'm pretty sure you do.

727
00:27:37,780 --> 00:27:39,580
But all we know that he's a dog.

728
00:27:39,580 --> 00:27:45,380
Brady, how about Cooper Loveridge who plays at Air Force right now?

729
00:27:45,380 --> 00:27:46,180
We both played with him.

730
00:27:46,180 --> 00:27:47,780
He definitely isn't watching this.

731
00:27:47,780 --> 00:27:53,580
But hey, Brady, Trey Turner is back.

732
00:27:53,580 --> 00:27:55,180
He is back.

733
00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:59,580
He has finally kicked it in gear since we've been here last time.

734
00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:02,380
I think the standing ovation ever since then.

735
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:10,180
He's just been a dog and he's actually like lived up to his potential for his first year in Philly.

736
00:28:10,180 --> 00:28:17,580
Obviously, it's just kind of been a run of everybody who goes to Philly has a terrible first year.

737
00:28:17,580 --> 00:28:19,980
But then figures it out the year after.

738
00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:21,980
Same thing happened with Harper.

739
00:28:21,980 --> 00:28:23,780
Same thing with Nick and Schorber.

740
00:28:23,780 --> 00:28:26,980
Schorber was pretty good, but he still hits under 200.

741
00:28:26,980 --> 00:28:27,980
It's still 200.

742
00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:29,380
It don't matter.

743
00:28:29,380 --> 00:28:35,780
But everybody has not the best of a year to start in Philly, but then they get better.

744
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:41,980
So I'm hoping this is his turnaround and he gets hot just in time with the rest of the team to go into the postseason.

745
00:28:41,980 --> 00:28:44,380
I want to add something to other Phillies.

746
00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:49,180
Did you guys see on Twitter this morning?

747
00:28:49,180 --> 00:28:53,380
They were at the Little League World Series game cheering on.

748
00:28:53,380 --> 00:28:55,180
Yeah, they're playing.

749
00:28:55,180 --> 00:28:56,180
Philadelphia was it?

750
00:28:56,180 --> 00:28:58,180
Yeah, the Pennsylvania team.

751
00:28:58,180 --> 00:28:59,180
Pennsylvania team.

752
00:28:59,180 --> 00:29:00,580
I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

753
00:29:00,580 --> 00:29:01,580
Oh, yeah.

754
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:02,580
It's so sick.

755
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:06,580
Imagine being those 11, 12 year olds having Bryce Harper cheering for you.

756
00:29:06,580 --> 00:29:11,780
Imagine being the other team just like Bryce Harper, Kyle Schorber just praying on your downfall hoping that you lose.

757
00:29:11,780 --> 00:29:12,780
Yeah.

758
00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:14,780
I just thought that was really cool.

759
00:29:14,780 --> 00:29:15,780
I don't know.

760
00:29:15,780 --> 00:29:16,780
Super cool moment.

761
00:29:16,780 --> 00:29:17,780
Yeah.

762
00:29:17,780 --> 00:29:23,380
I could be wrong, but aren't they playing the first Williamsport game today?

763
00:29:23,380 --> 00:29:24,580
I'm pretty sure they are.

764
00:29:24,580 --> 00:29:25,580
The first one?

765
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:32,780
Yeah, because they're supposed to start playing in Williamsport for like an out of country game.

766
00:29:32,780 --> 00:29:35,180
They've done in the last two or three years.

767
00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:36,180
Have they?

768
00:29:36,180 --> 00:29:37,180
In Williamsport?

769
00:29:37,180 --> 00:29:39,180
Yeah, the O's played there last year.

770
00:29:39,180 --> 00:29:43,180
Oh, well, and they played the Williamsport game today.

771
00:29:43,180 --> 00:29:45,180
Yeah, no, I love the Williamsport game.

772
00:29:45,180 --> 00:29:47,180
I know what's going on right now.

773
00:29:47,180 --> 00:29:48,180
Hopefully.

774
00:29:48,180 --> 00:29:49,180
Are you guys winning?

775
00:29:49,180 --> 00:29:51,180
I don't believe so.

776
00:29:51,180 --> 00:29:54,180
Top five Washington 4-0.

777
00:29:54,180 --> 00:29:58,180
Yeah, we're not doing anything today.

778
00:29:58,180 --> 00:29:59,180
I'm sorry.

779
00:29:59,180 --> 00:30:00,180
That's okay.

780
00:30:00,180 --> 00:30:02,180
Sorry, it happened to Spaceball.

781
00:30:02,180 --> 00:30:03,180
It happened.

782
00:30:03,180 --> 00:30:10,180
I'm going to talk briefly about Jackson Holliday, everybody's favorite 19-year-old called Wander

783
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:11,180
Franco.

784
00:30:11,180 --> 00:30:16,180
Jackson Holliday is the number one prospect in baseball.

785
00:30:16,180 --> 00:30:18,180
He's in the O's farm system.

786
00:30:18,180 --> 00:30:20,180
He was the number one pick last year.

787
00:30:20,180 --> 00:30:25,180
He's 19 years old, so about four years older than the age of consent for Wander.

788
00:30:25,180 --> 00:30:33,180
He had to ask teachers for permission to use the bathroom a year ago in high school, and

789
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:39,180
he's hitting 350 in single A, double A. They're about to call him up to triple A. He's 19

790
00:30:39,180 --> 00:30:40,180
years old.

791
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:45,180
He's got an 850, 890 LPS, something like that, some crazy elites B.

792
00:30:45,180 --> 00:30:46,180
Shortstop?

793
00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:47,180
He's a shortstop.

794
00:30:47,180 --> 00:30:49,180
Ooh, you guys need that.

795
00:30:49,180 --> 00:30:51,180
Dude, can't even drink yet.

796
00:30:51,180 --> 00:30:53,180
No, he can't even drink yet.

797
00:30:53,180 --> 00:30:58,180
He fits the bill because we need middle and field as well as pitching, but Holliday is

798
00:30:58,180 --> 00:31:02,180
better than Adley when Adley was in the minors, if that tells you anything.

799
00:31:02,180 --> 00:31:04,180
Was Adley dominant in the minors?

800
00:31:04,180 --> 00:31:08,180
Yeah, it was just a matter of time before he got called up.

801
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:12,180
They were just waiting for the rest of the system to be good, but I thought it was worth

802
00:31:12,180 --> 00:31:14,180
noting that Holliday just continues to rake.

803
00:31:14,180 --> 00:31:16,180
You think he'll be starting next year?

804
00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:17,180
I hope not.

805
00:31:17,180 --> 00:31:19,180
Is who's your shortstop right now again?

806
00:31:19,180 --> 00:31:21,180
We have Gunnar Henderson and-

807
00:31:21,180 --> 00:31:23,180
I don't play story.

808
00:31:23,180 --> 00:31:24,180
Mateo.

809
00:31:24,180 --> 00:31:25,180
Corheadt Mateo.

810
00:31:25,180 --> 00:31:26,180
Corheadt Mateo.

811
00:31:26,180 --> 00:31:30,180
We had this conversation earlier.

812
00:31:30,180 --> 00:31:37,180
We were like, you guys don't have anybody better than Mateo in your entire farm system.

813
00:31:37,180 --> 00:31:39,180
Well, you guys do.

814
00:31:39,180 --> 00:31:41,180
No, he's not the only one.

815
00:31:41,180 --> 00:31:46,180
Holliday is great, but they have another guy, Joey Ortiz, who is hitting 350 in triple A

816
00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:49,180
right now, and they haven't called him up yet.

817
00:31:49,180 --> 00:31:53,180
They're just waiting because Mateo's got elite speed, and I think that's why they like him

818
00:31:53,180 --> 00:31:54,180
as a pinch runner.

819
00:31:54,180 --> 00:32:01,180
Maybe Ortiz will get called up in the September call-ups, but I don't think Holliday should

820
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:02,180
be up yet.

821
00:32:02,180 --> 00:32:03,180
He's 19.

822
00:32:03,180 --> 00:32:07,180
I'm just waiting for him to hit a cold spell, because I don't want him to get called up

823
00:32:07,180 --> 00:32:10,180
to the base and then hit 120 and then be shot with confidence.

824
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:14,180
I want him to get a year or two in the minors and then go.

825
00:32:14,180 --> 00:32:19,180
He's only 19, and I also don't want him to be a free agent when he's 26.

826
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:24,180
Give me a couple more years in the minors, and then we can get you until you're 28, 29.

827
00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:27,180
Is that how it works, the contract system?

828
00:32:27,180 --> 00:32:30,180
You get six years of arbitration where you're really cheap, and then you got to pay in play

829
00:32:30,180 --> 00:32:31,180
after six years.

830
00:32:31,180 --> 00:32:32,180
Six years.

831
00:32:32,180 --> 00:32:33,180
Wow.

832
00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:38,180
Six years in the majors, and then as many years as they want in the minors.

833
00:32:38,180 --> 00:32:39,180
Kind of, yeah.

834
00:32:39,180 --> 00:32:43,180
They have minor league contracts and things, but as soon as you get called up to the bigs,

835
00:32:43,180 --> 00:32:47,180
you have six years until you are qualified for free agency.

836
00:32:47,180 --> 00:32:51,180
But I would like to keep Holiday in our system for a while, because he's going to be so good.

837
00:32:51,180 --> 00:32:57,180
He's going to get a $300 million contract, which we can't pay.

838
00:32:57,180 --> 00:33:00,180
I guess that kind of wraps up most of our talking points.

839
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:04,180
We're going to quickly flip around and record a tier list of the playoff teams right after

840
00:33:04,180 --> 00:33:05,180
this.

841
00:33:05,180 --> 00:33:07,180
That'll be released later this week.

842
00:33:07,180 --> 00:33:12,180
But we wanted to quickly go over our DFA watch, player to watch, and some of our series to

843
00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:14,180
watch this week.

844
00:33:14,180 --> 00:33:20,180
So a nice little concise 30 minutes so people can get their list done on Monday.

845
00:33:20,180 --> 00:33:22,180
Yeah, not too shabby.

846
00:33:22,180 --> 00:33:25,180
But first of all, who wants to go first?

847
00:33:25,180 --> 00:33:26,180
DFA watch.

848
00:33:26,180 --> 00:33:27,180
Anybody got anybody on the top of the head?

849
00:33:27,180 --> 00:33:29,180
Kenji, you've been watching your Angels team struggle.

850
00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:31,180
Who's getting cut?

851
00:33:31,180 --> 00:33:33,180
Oh, from the Angels?

852
00:33:33,180 --> 00:33:34,180
Anybody.

853
00:33:34,180 --> 00:33:35,180
Who needs to get DFA?

854
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:38,180
I want CJ Kronoff, my team, because I can't stand to look at his face.

855
00:33:38,180 --> 00:33:39,180
Very personal.

856
00:33:39,180 --> 00:33:44,180
And he made one bad error at first base a week ago or something, and ever since then.

857
00:33:44,180 --> 00:33:46,180
A, I haven't seen him play.

858
00:33:46,180 --> 00:33:48,180
And B, I just can't stand to look at him.

859
00:33:48,180 --> 00:33:49,180
OK.

860
00:33:49,180 --> 00:33:50,180
Got you.

861
00:33:50,180 --> 00:33:51,180
So I want to get him off my team.

862
00:33:51,180 --> 00:33:53,180
I know we traded for him, but I don't care.

863
00:33:53,180 --> 00:33:54,180
Yeah.

864
00:33:54,180 --> 00:33:55,180
I want him to cut it.

865
00:33:55,180 --> 00:33:56,180
I want them to cut him.

866
00:33:56,180 --> 00:33:57,180
All right.

867
00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:58,180
All right.

868
00:33:58,180 --> 00:34:01,180
I think I got the winner of our DFA watch.

869
00:34:01,180 --> 00:34:02,180
Uh-oh.

870
00:34:02,180 --> 00:34:03,180
Here we go.

871
00:34:03,180 --> 00:34:07,180
0-1 in his fighting debut, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tim Anderson.

872
00:34:07,180 --> 00:34:17,180
He has as many home runs this season as he does getting knocked out, which is a one.

873
00:34:17,180 --> 00:34:19,180
So get him out of here.

874
00:34:19,180 --> 00:34:20,180
J-Ram got hands, man.

875
00:34:20,180 --> 00:34:21,180
I just got to say that.

876
00:34:21,180 --> 00:34:23,180
J-Ram has hands.

877
00:34:23,180 --> 00:34:24,180
Bro should have been the starter.

878
00:34:24,180 --> 00:34:28,180
Bro should have been the A-L starter to all-star game.

879
00:34:28,180 --> 00:34:34,180
It's crazy how bad Tim Anderson has played, especially considering he's been a solid 3rd

880
00:34:34,180 --> 00:34:38,180
in the all-hitter all his life, and he got chosen to play in WBC, right?

881
00:34:38,180 --> 00:34:39,180
Yeah.

882
00:34:39,180 --> 00:34:40,180
Yeah.

883
00:34:40,180 --> 00:34:41,180
Because he was legit.

884
00:34:41,180 --> 00:34:44,180
But like, there's the door.

885
00:34:44,180 --> 00:34:45,180
WBC curse.

886
00:34:45,180 --> 00:34:47,180
That might be something to look into.

887
00:34:47,180 --> 00:34:48,180
Trout got hurt.

888
00:34:48,180 --> 00:34:49,180
Schwerber?

889
00:34:49,180 --> 00:34:50,180
Trey Turner was atrocious.

890
00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:52,180
Schwerber's been bad.

891
00:34:52,180 --> 00:34:53,180
Mullen's been injured.

892
00:34:53,180 --> 00:34:54,180
Yeah, Mullen's been injured twice.

893
00:34:54,180 --> 00:34:55,180
A lot of.

894
00:34:55,180 --> 00:34:56,180
Yeah, hey, WBC curse.

895
00:34:56,180 --> 00:34:57,180
I guess Mullen ought to have played good this year.

896
00:34:57,180 --> 00:34:58,180
Yeah, it's a good year.

897
00:34:58,180 --> 00:34:59,180
He's been good.

898
00:34:59,180 --> 00:35:00,180
Mullen was an all-star starter.

899
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:01,180
KT's been iffy.

900
00:35:01,180 --> 00:35:04,180
He's never known to be a hitter.

901
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:05,180
Oh, really?

902
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:06,180
Average is a hitter.

903
00:35:06,180 --> 00:35:09,180
His defense just makes up for everything.

904
00:35:09,180 --> 00:35:10,180
Such a good catcher.

905
00:35:10,180 --> 00:35:11,180
Yeah.

906
00:35:11,180 --> 00:35:14,180
You know, he's like a 260, 7-ish hitter?

907
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:15,180
Yeah.

908
00:35:15,180 --> 00:35:16,180
Oh.

909
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:23,180
Actually, he usually hits 280-ish, but he just doesn't get the runs and RBIs that everyone

910
00:35:23,180 --> 00:35:24,180
else does.

911
00:35:24,180 --> 00:35:26,180
Does he walk a lot?

912
00:35:26,180 --> 00:35:27,180
No, not really.

913
00:35:27,180 --> 00:35:30,180
He's usually a little bit of a walker.

914
00:35:30,180 --> 00:35:31,180
Not really.

915
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:34,180
He's usually one of the guys they have to pitch to.

916
00:35:34,180 --> 00:35:36,180
So, he gets hits.

917
00:35:36,180 --> 00:35:40,180
He's just never the guy who gets runs or RBIs very often.

918
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:43,180
I didn't know about him until the WBC, so I don't really know.

919
00:35:43,180 --> 00:35:44,180
Yeah.

920
00:35:44,180 --> 00:35:46,180
His catching is unbelievable.

921
00:35:46,180 --> 00:35:47,180
Unbelievable.

922
00:35:47,180 --> 00:35:48,180
Okay.

923
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:49,180
Joe?

924
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:50,180
DFA.

925
00:35:50,180 --> 00:35:51,180
DFA.

926
00:35:51,180 --> 00:35:56,180
A lot of people on the Rangers.

927
00:35:56,180 --> 00:36:00,180
Off the top of my head, I'm going to go with EZ Guildran.

928
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:02,180
He's been underperforming a lot.

929
00:36:02,180 --> 00:36:03,180
Yeah.

930
00:36:03,180 --> 00:36:04,180
A lot, especially on the field.

931
00:36:04,180 --> 00:36:10,180
And at the plate, he was on fire to start off the year.

932
00:36:10,180 --> 00:36:14,180
He earned himself a spot on left field, but Young's been injured, so he's been playing

933
00:36:14,180 --> 00:36:16,180
third, but his glove is not good.

934
00:36:16,180 --> 00:36:20,180
I think he just needs time to just figure it out, dude.

935
00:36:20,180 --> 00:36:26,180
He cost us a few runs today, and I'm just pretty upset.

936
00:36:26,180 --> 00:36:28,180
I love you, man.

937
00:36:28,180 --> 00:36:29,180
I love you, Durant.

938
00:36:29,180 --> 00:36:35,180
You have a much better life than I do, but that's all I'm going to say.

939
00:36:35,180 --> 00:36:36,180
Yeah, Durant.

940
00:36:36,180 --> 00:36:37,180
I would say he's my DFA.

941
00:36:37,180 --> 00:36:38,180
Okay.

942
00:36:38,180 --> 00:36:39,180
All right.

943
00:36:39,180 --> 00:36:40,180
I got one and a half.

944
00:36:40,180 --> 00:36:42,180
I can't stand Adam Frazier.

945
00:36:42,180 --> 00:36:45,180
I hate his face.

946
00:36:45,180 --> 00:36:46,180
I hate his swing.

947
00:36:46,180 --> 00:36:47,180
I hate how he plays defense.

948
00:36:47,180 --> 00:36:48,180
I can't stand him.

949
00:36:48,180 --> 00:36:50,180
I'm sorry.

950
00:36:50,180 --> 00:36:52,180
I can't stand Adam Frazier.

951
00:36:52,180 --> 00:36:57,180
My brothers can attest, I was at the Padres O's games earlier this week, and Frazier came

952
00:36:57,180 --> 00:36:59,180
up to the plate, and I'm like, I hate this guy.

953
00:36:59,180 --> 00:37:00,180
I hope he strikes out.

954
00:37:00,180 --> 00:37:02,180
I can't stand him.

955
00:37:02,180 --> 00:37:07,180
They pinch hit him in these weird spots, and he's creating this log jam with Ortiz,

956
00:37:07,180 --> 00:37:10,180
hasn't been able to get called up, and Westberg doesn't get all the playing time, because

957
00:37:10,180 --> 00:37:16,180
they have this guy who they're paying $8 million to hit 230 when he's a career 280 hitter.

958
00:37:16,180 --> 00:37:17,180
Just cut it.

959
00:37:17,180 --> 00:37:19,180
Yeah, I want him gone.

960
00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:27,180
But then my honorable mention, Jack Flaherty gave up seven earned in two innings and threw

961
00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:31,180
80 pitches in those two innings on Tuesday night.

962
00:37:31,180 --> 00:37:33,180
I was there in person, watched that game.

963
00:37:33,180 --> 00:37:36,180
He pulled a Gabe in high school.

964
00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:41,180
He walked four straight, and then he grave up a grand slam.

965
00:37:41,180 --> 00:37:42,180
I was like, oh, cool.

966
00:37:42,180 --> 00:37:43,180
That was in the first inning.

967
00:37:43,180 --> 00:37:44,180
I was like, oh, cool.

968
00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:45,180
This game's over.

969
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:49,180
So I hope he figures it out in his next start.

970
00:37:49,180 --> 00:37:52,180
But that's the Jack Flaherty experience, I guess.

971
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:53,180
OK.

972
00:37:53,180 --> 00:37:57,180
Quickly, players to watch for the upcoming week.

973
00:37:57,180 --> 00:37:58,180
Brady, hit me quick.

974
00:37:58,180 --> 00:37:59,180
Who you got?

975
00:37:59,180 --> 00:38:00,180
Who's hot?

976
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:03,180
I'll take the one and a half for this one.

977
00:38:03,180 --> 00:38:05,180
Trey Turner, as said before.

978
00:38:05,180 --> 00:38:06,180
No way.

979
00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:07,180
Really?

980
00:38:07,180 --> 00:38:08,180
Already.

981
00:38:08,180 --> 00:38:09,180
Yes.

982
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:10,180
Absolutely.

983
00:38:10,180 --> 00:38:11,180
That's a high take.

984
00:38:11,180 --> 00:38:12,180
Players to watch.

985
00:38:12,180 --> 00:38:13,180
Man's is going off.

986
00:38:13,180 --> 00:38:16,180
So the man's with the Vans cleats.

987
00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:17,180
Michael Lorenzen.

988
00:38:17,180 --> 00:38:18,180
OK.

989
00:38:18,180 --> 00:38:19,180
OK.

990
00:38:19,180 --> 00:38:20,180
No hitter.

991
00:38:20,180 --> 00:38:21,180
I do love those cleats.

992
00:38:21,180 --> 00:38:22,180
Dog.

993
00:38:22,180 --> 00:38:23,180
I don't buy that.

994
00:38:23,180 --> 00:38:24,180
No hitter.

995
00:38:24,180 --> 00:38:25,180
I don't buy it.

996
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:29,180
Framber also pooped the bed his next start after he threw that no-no.

997
00:38:29,180 --> 00:38:30,180
So did Lorenzen.

998
00:38:30,180 --> 00:38:31,180
Yeah.

999
00:38:31,180 --> 00:38:34,180
So, but man's wears Vans cleats.

1000
00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:35,180
And there's a doubt.

1001
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:36,180
That's fair.

1002
00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:37,180
Welcome to the Phillies, buddy.

1003
00:38:37,180 --> 00:38:38,180
Vans?

1004
00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:39,180
Vans.

1005
00:38:39,180 --> 00:38:40,180
Vans cleats.

1006
00:38:40,180 --> 00:38:41,180
Oh, really?

1007
00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:42,180
Custom cleats, yeah.

1008
00:38:42,180 --> 00:38:43,180
That's pretty sick.

1009
00:38:43,180 --> 00:38:44,180
You're cool.

1010
00:38:44,180 --> 00:38:49,180
I'm going to clip that, where he's pulling out his shoe to show the candy.

1011
00:38:49,180 --> 00:38:51,180
I guess I don't know what Vans are yet.

1012
00:38:51,180 --> 00:38:53,180
We're just sitting right there.

1013
00:38:53,180 --> 00:38:56,180
Kenji, who's the player to watch?

1014
00:38:56,180 --> 00:38:57,180
The new guy?

1015
00:38:57,180 --> 00:39:01,180
I don't know how to pronounce his name correctly, but it's the White Sox shortstop, like Elvis

1016
00:39:01,180 --> 00:39:02,180
Andrews or whatever.

1017
00:39:02,180 --> 00:39:03,180
Oh, Elvis Andrews.

1018
00:39:03,180 --> 00:39:04,180
Player to watch?

1019
00:39:04,180 --> 00:39:05,180
Interesting.

1020
00:39:05,180 --> 00:39:07,180
Did you see how hot he's been?

1021
00:39:07,180 --> 00:39:09,180
Oh, no, I did not.

1022
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:12,180
I mean, he's hitting 455 in the past.

1023
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:15,180
Oh, I thought you were going to say Keeber Ruiz.

1024
00:39:15,180 --> 00:39:16,180
He's on the AL mid.

1025
00:39:16,180 --> 00:39:19,180
Yeah, that's a place for the White Sox.

1026
00:39:19,180 --> 00:39:22,180
He's hitting 408 in the past two weeks.

1027
00:39:22,180 --> 00:39:23,180
15 RBIs.

1028
00:39:23,180 --> 00:39:28,180
I think for our friend Tom, we got to throw Zach Gelof in here.

1029
00:39:28,180 --> 00:39:29,180
The old Glenez.

1030
00:39:29,180 --> 00:39:32,180
Yeah, Zach Gelof has been amazing.

1031
00:39:32,180 --> 00:39:33,180
I watched his games.

1032
00:39:33,180 --> 00:39:41,180
He has the most doubles in the MLB or in the month of August, I believe.

1033
00:39:41,180 --> 00:39:43,180
He's hitting like 380.

1034
00:39:43,180 --> 00:39:44,180
Gotcha.

1035
00:39:44,180 --> 00:39:48,180
All fun and games until you trade him to Atlanta for a churro.

1036
00:39:48,180 --> 00:39:49,180
True.

1037
00:39:49,180 --> 00:39:50,180
Yeah.

1038
00:39:50,180 --> 00:39:51,180
Joe?

1039
00:39:51,180 --> 00:39:53,180
I'm going to say Jordan Montgomery.

1040
00:39:53,180 --> 00:39:56,180
He starts tomorrow against the Diamondbacks.

1041
00:39:56,180 --> 00:39:59,180
He's been good for us in his start.

1042
00:39:59,180 --> 00:40:06,180
I think it's a really crucial game for us tomorrow to bounce back from the sweep.

1043
00:40:06,180 --> 00:40:09,180
We just earned ourselves.

1044
00:40:09,180 --> 00:40:11,180
He's been good.

1045
00:40:11,180 --> 00:40:13,180
He was good on the cards.

1046
00:40:13,180 --> 00:40:14,180
He's good now.

1047
00:40:14,180 --> 00:40:19,180
I'm excited to watch him throw tomorrow and see how he does to keep it quick.

1048
00:40:19,180 --> 00:40:20,180
Okay.

1049
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:24,180
My player to watch is a tough one, Ryan Mountcastle.

1050
00:40:24,180 --> 00:40:25,180
I'll go with Ryan Mountcastle.

1051
00:40:25,180 --> 00:40:26,180
Okay.

1052
00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:28,180
He's hitting 400 in August.

1053
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:30,180
He had Vertigo.

1054
00:40:30,180 --> 00:40:34,180
He was on the IL for quite a while, Vertigo, and he came back and he's just questionable.

1055
00:40:34,180 --> 00:40:39,180
He said it's because it's easier to hit one ball instead of seeing three.

1056
00:40:39,180 --> 00:40:42,180
Mountcastle has been red hot.

1057
00:40:42,180 --> 00:40:48,180
He's replaced Freddie Freeman on my fantasy team and virtually no dip in production, which is nice.

1058
00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:50,180
Is Freeman on the market then?

1059
00:40:50,180 --> 00:40:52,180
Tom has Freeman.

1060
00:40:52,180 --> 00:40:54,180
Let's go behind him.

1061
00:40:54,180 --> 00:40:57,180
I don't check fantasy that much anymore.

1062
00:40:57,180 --> 00:41:00,180
Yeah, that shows you Joe's level of interest.

1063
00:41:00,180 --> 00:41:03,180
Some fun series to watch.

1064
00:41:03,180 --> 00:41:05,180
I'm just going to run through them really quick here.

1065
00:41:05,180 --> 00:41:07,180
Blue Jays owes to start the week.

1066
00:41:07,180 --> 00:41:09,180
Blue Jays kind of need it to stay in the race.

1067
00:41:09,180 --> 00:41:11,180
Oes are at home, so they need to defend.

1068
00:41:11,180 --> 00:41:13,180
Milwaukee, San Diego.

1069
00:41:13,180 --> 00:41:14,180
That one will be fun.

1070
00:41:14,180 --> 00:41:15,180
Two playoff teams.

1071
00:41:15,180 --> 00:41:21,180
Not really, it's 10-8 goes dead, but this is kind of like the end of their line for them.

1072
00:41:21,180 --> 00:41:23,180
Texas v Arizona.

1073
00:41:23,180 --> 00:41:24,180
That'll be fun.

1074
00:41:24,180 --> 00:41:26,180
Arizona is, I think Arizona is out of it.

1075
00:41:26,180 --> 00:41:27,180
Correct me if I'm wrong.

1076
00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:29,180
Joe, Brady is Arizona.

1077
00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:30,180
They're kind of out of it, right?

1078
00:41:30,180 --> 00:41:31,180
Nope.

1079
00:41:31,180 --> 00:41:36,180
I mean, if they're playing the way they believe in playing since All-Star break, then yeah.

1080
00:41:36,180 --> 00:41:39,180
But it could be promising.

1081
00:41:39,180 --> 00:41:43,180
So then Miami and Cincinnati are all like a game out of the wild card.

1082
00:41:43,180 --> 00:41:44,180
Oh, really?

1083
00:41:44,180 --> 00:41:45,180
Yep.

1084
00:41:45,180 --> 00:41:47,180
I thought Arizona was below.

1085
00:41:47,180 --> 00:41:50,180
Chicago just took the last spot.

1086
00:41:50,180 --> 00:41:51,180
Gotcha.

1087
00:41:51,180 --> 00:41:52,180
Alright, yeah, nevermind.

1088
00:41:52,180 --> 00:41:54,180
San Diego's like five.

1089
00:41:54,180 --> 00:41:56,180
Yeah, San Diego's in trouble.

1090
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:57,180
Five, geez.

1091
00:41:57,180 --> 00:42:02,180
Okay, Texas v Arizona's good because it's a matchup of two teams you could see in the playoffs.

1092
00:42:02,180 --> 00:42:03,180
Two potential playoff teams.

1093
00:42:03,180 --> 00:42:06,180
They also play Cincinnati at the end of the week.

1094
00:42:06,180 --> 00:42:08,180
Yeah, that's true.

1095
00:42:08,180 --> 00:42:11,180
And then the last one, Giants-Philies.

1096
00:42:11,180 --> 00:42:14,180
Two teams also budding for that in a wild card spot.

1097
00:42:14,180 --> 00:42:16,180
Both teams need the series to stay in it.

1098
00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:18,180
We'll see what happens.

1099
00:42:18,180 --> 00:42:19,180
Brady will be on the edge of his seat.

1100
00:42:19,180 --> 00:42:22,180
So any last little words, guys?

1101
00:42:22,180 --> 00:42:24,180
That's our show for the week.

1102
00:42:24,180 --> 00:42:27,180
We're going to go do this little tier list.

1103
00:42:27,180 --> 00:42:29,180
But Kenji, you got something funny to say?

1104
00:42:29,180 --> 00:42:32,180
You always got something funny to say.

1105
00:42:32,180 --> 00:42:34,180
No.

1106
00:42:34,180 --> 00:42:36,180
Quite a season at the win.

1107
00:42:36,180 --> 00:42:37,180
Joe, Brady?

1108
00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:40,180
I'm kind of hungry, so.

1109
00:42:40,180 --> 00:42:42,180
Great week for some ball.

1110
00:42:42,180 --> 00:42:43,180
Great week for some ball, yep.

1111
00:42:43,180 --> 00:42:44,180
Excited.

1112
00:42:44,180 --> 00:42:46,180
It's getting close to the postseason.

1113
00:42:46,180 --> 00:42:47,180
It is, man.

1114
00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:49,180
Teams are actually madding now.

1115
00:42:49,180 --> 00:42:52,180
They're going to be mad.

1116
00:42:52,180 --> 00:42:53,180
Go O's, baby, go O's.

1117
00:42:53,180 --> 00:42:55,180
Go Philies.

1118
00:42:55,180 --> 00:42:57,180
Brady, you got one more thing?

1119
00:42:57,180 --> 00:42:59,180
It's always a bad day to be a baseball.

1120
00:42:59,180 --> 00:43:01,180
It's always a bad day to be a baseball.

1121
00:43:01,180 --> 00:43:03,180
And it's a great day to be a Yankee hater.

1122
00:43:03,180 --> 00:43:04,180
Yes, sir.

1123
00:43:04,180 --> 00:43:06,180
A bad day to be a Yankees fan.

1124
00:43:06,180 --> 00:43:07,180
All right.

1125
00:43:07,180 --> 00:43:08,180
Take care, everybody.

1126
00:43:08,180 --> 00:43:20,180
Thanks for listening.
