[SPEAKER_01]: Episode one, eighty-five.
[SPEAKER_01]: Today we recap the royal series and preview the upcoming series for some Minnesota twins.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're listening to the Bucco Banner podcast brought to you by the Just Baseball Media Network.
[SPEAKER_01]: Q the music.
[SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to episode one eighty five of Bucco Banner.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got a little bit to talk about not too much.
[SPEAKER_02]: Six and a row.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a good thing though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not six wins in a row.
[SPEAKER_02]: We were held round list in Seattle and we lost.
[SPEAKER_02]: We scored three runs consistently.
[SPEAKER_02]: All three games against the royals.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a positive, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Be scored.
[SPEAKER_02]: But couldn't pull off the W and any of those games.
[SPEAKER_01]: Listen, this is just how baseball works.
[SPEAKER_01]: You win six straight.
[SPEAKER_01]: You lose six straight.
[SPEAKER_02]: And every user is twelve straight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everyone knows that.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just, that's an unwritten rule.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: The boys are just following what we've done for the history of time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, not worried about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Going into this, I said, they needed to win six of nine to convince me that the win is even possible anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you carry the two?
[SPEAKER_02]: I carried it to drop the one zero.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not possible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not possible.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I said they had the win six of nine after the six game win streak to convince me, even slightly that they could potentially just have a better second half, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Or add to this team, even like we've talked about adding by subtracting, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: and making this team better, especially for next year, and to potentially even make it better this year.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to say I'm happy they've lost six in a row.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm always rooting for the Pirates to win, but when they lose these games,
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not upset.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's because I know things are just the same.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything else that happens is just a smoke screen.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if they keep winning and they keep fooling you with the six games here and then they lose a ton not hitting things are still the same.
[SPEAKER_01]: We need change and I'm afraid with this organization if things don't go drastically wrong, they're not going to change anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't think they may go on drastically wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: It needs to go even further than that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's gone pretty far, but uh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like how like talk about the last couple of years, they've won, seventy six games, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not even a post on pace that this year, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Not even close.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing changed in those two years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, they said they were getting better.
[SPEAKER_01]: How much worse does it need to get you to actually make the change?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's where I'm getting at.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it needs to get much, much worse.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: They fired Shelton.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kelly has been likable.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this the move going forward?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, is this how they go into twenty twenty six?
[SPEAKER_01]: And they say, hey, Kelly's our guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the roster that we have.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything's good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or do they need to complete overhaul?
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm leaning towards the ladder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if Kelly, if I factor Kelly into that decision.
[SPEAKER_02]: I still think there's a possibility of strong possibility that he's manager next here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because definitely he's not in her right now, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know man.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's one person that hasn't fooled me.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's Tommy Fam.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to do a quick pivot.
[SPEAKER_02]: My man is to to fifty right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's hitting to fifty.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the hot he's got one of the hottest bats in the national league.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy
[SPEAKER_02]: is just on fire.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tommy famine is last seven games is hitting four oh nine, four, eighty, six, thirty, six, a four RBIs, three walks only, three strikeouts in a bomb.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's real.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's talent there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, MLB dot com has Tommy fam's nickname as fantastic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I saw that the other day actually.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's, I don't think anyone's ever called him that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if someone did, I think he'd punch him in the face, but we're gonna say the same thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: If we're on the field next time when we call him fantastic, I think we'll never talk to us again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm gonna get a head start on running down the left field line.
[SPEAKER_02]: But anyways, yeah, no, he's been high in all seriousness, like probably good for his trade value.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think a lot of guys are playing better at the right time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's gonna be key going into these next few weeks, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean,
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's not an aggressive deadline, we're going to have a very soggy sorrow episode after on August first.
[SPEAKER_02]: soggy sorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a part of my take for is this soggy sorrows.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sounds gross, but yeah, it is going to be gross and it's going to be very depressing.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you want to hear something more depressing?
[SPEAKER_01]: Brian Reynolds in his last seven is hitting zero seventy four point zero seventy four that's a batting average yeah okay there's not a zero to start there yeah I might use to seeing that okay his on base is one oh seven his slugging seventy four okay and he has twelve strikeouts
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's depressing.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's doing his best to Austin hedges impression, I think.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a tribute.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a tribute.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's bad man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that couple?
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think the trade rumors?
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it wasn't better before that when Noah dropped the leaked list, which is accurate.
[SPEAKER_01]: Reporting.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's also a hilarious list.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it caused Noah Hiles caused drama.
[SPEAKER_01]: I texted Noah this the other day.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, you started a fight between Evan Mongolia and Brian.
[SPEAKER_01]: He really did.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is your fault.
[SPEAKER_01]: What have you done?
[SPEAKER_01]: jokes aside it's a good reporting it's an accurate list and things have not been good for Brian Reynolds and I don't know if it needs a change of scenery or I mean the trade value has
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a guy that you gave the biggest contract to a pirate history to just been putrid.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think some team teams that are anxious to add bads will see the track record with him because it's more positive than it is negative.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that I think it's the opposite with Brian Hayes, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think
[SPEAKER_02]: He still could bring back a decent return, no matter what, but yeah, the trade demands don't really help his cause, given that they're all contending teams, but also just like I think that Rubbs teams are on the way, that all six teams you would don't want to play for are big, winning organizations right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that definitely doesn't help.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is why I say it's, I don't understand why teams like necessarily wait until the deadline.
[SPEAKER_02]: I get that there's more incentive and and there maybe you get a team to bite more and get when you're on the clock and you've only got ten minutes to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I get that but sometimes you can, it's, you can trade someone too late and then, and it comes, it doesn't work in your favor.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's a guy that could have
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll be being gone already and if I had a bet right now, I'd say he doesn't go anywhere by the dead by the dead one.
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I agree with that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thinking about it, I would like to keep Ryan Reynolds because like you said, the track record, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: But just the reasons he buys is like, man, what is going on here?
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we need a fresh start.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mitch Keller's been good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the trade rumors.
[SPEAKER_01]: If anything, he's helps his value and it's kind of like a love eight when it comes to trading, Mitch Keller.
[SPEAKER_01]: Great guy has been an absolute dog for us.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, I just, I think things just need, we need fresh faces.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: So fingers crossed.
[SPEAKER_02]: But my first focus is on the draft.
[SPEAKER_02]: And actually tonight, my guess, we'll announce that we're going to be talking to Tyler Jennings on the clock pod.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's our MLB draft expert at just baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm really excited to do a bonus episode getting you ready for the draft next week.
[SPEAKER_02]: That comes first.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if there's one thing positive right now about the organization, it's just in Horowitz.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the amateur scouting department, they've done it.
[SPEAKER_02]: They did a great job in draft one, given the sample size so far.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to write now, I'm with the mentality of, you know, in Horowitz, we trust.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like whoever he takes, I'm going to trust it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we'll dive more into that later.
[SPEAKER_02]: That'll probably be out tomorrow or this weekend.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_01]: Quick headlines, real quick, chase sugar.
[SPEAKER_01]: the fifteen-day I.o.
[SPEAKER_01]: with left knee inflammation.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been good for us all year.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a good acquisition.
[SPEAKER_01]: Despite his last start versus the royals where he gave up a couple, he has been nails for the most part.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's going to hurt losing him in the middle of that bullpen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Baruchy, though, is on a rehab assignment in Braydenton.
[SPEAKER_01]: That'll probably be short and then he'll get reassigned to Indianapolis.
[SPEAKER_01]: He'll be there for a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jack Swinsky was recalled.
[SPEAKER_01]: This team needed bats?
[SPEAKER_01]: You got one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jackson Winsky.
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you gonna thoughts on this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Because, you know, sugar goes down and the team that can barely find playing time for Alexander Canario says, let's bring up another out filter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's stupid.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like why don't they just bring up Maretta?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I don't even know if he's able to be recalled yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a little bit of time there.
[SPEAKER_02]: But, I mean, there's other, I guess I don't really want Holderman up here right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, hasn't been good.
[SPEAKER_02]: As I've been good.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know what their options are.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Nicholas, but how many more options does Kyle Nicholas have?
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like you've started to use those.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I just don't like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't see that point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, with Jackson and ski, but hey, if you're here, bring up an Alfred or I'd rather just see Gorske again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were going to give him another chance at some point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Brett, I have, I wish some people gave me the amount of chances that the pirates gave Jack so I didn't ski because he has gotten chance after chance after chance.
[SPEAKER_02]: The sample size is large and they've given up on guys way quicker.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, uh, man, lucky man, Jack.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Jack.
[SPEAKER_01]: Swinsky, not understand, like how the sun works.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: I often see him being blinded by the sun.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sun bright.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it lasted a good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sun bright glass is good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Glass is blocks on sea ball, especially during solar eclipse.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't stare into the sun jack.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Last news, Cruz is in the home run, Derby for those who say he's not null, sir.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why is he in the home run, Derby?
[SPEAKER_01]: Enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: This has happened so many times.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Be happy.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the positive thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to guy other than Paul schemes.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to be down in Atlanta.
[SPEAKER_01]: Show casing.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a really good home run, Derby.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a really good home run, Derby.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be a really good one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who's your favorite?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I like Bruce a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Bruce is going to do well.
[SPEAKER_02]: I must say James Wood right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could see a conia showing out in his own home ballpark.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think it's going to be fun, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Caminero committed yesterday.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's my sleeper.
[SPEAKER_01]: Caminero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just crazy power there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like him in arrow.
[SPEAKER_01]: That was my guy just this year.
[SPEAKER_01]: Generally, that was my dark horse MVP.
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's get into the game recaps.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shall we?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll get us kicked out here with Monday before we get into it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Go to tscop.com for all of your Pittsburgh sports memorabilia needs, pirates, penguins, dealers, get
[SPEAKER_01]: all you want in more at tsc shop dot com total sports enterprises has you covered going to the description below click the link let them know about go banter sent you monday Tuesday in Wednesday they all lost all right there goes the royals recap
[SPEAKER_01]: Monday, nine, the three L, he need three innings, six hits, four earned, one walk, two K's, one home run, one pair of shoot laces, lost.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a four, four, one ERA, forty nine strikes on seventy six pitches, a hundred percent zone contact rate for the royals on the foreseen.
[SPEAKER_01]: a hundred percent, eighty percent on the slider.
[SPEAKER_01]: The bullpen consisted of sugar, Cabrera, Benar, sugar, two and two thirds, four heads, four earned two home runs, Cabrera, two innings, two heads, one earned, one K, one home run, Benar,
[SPEAKER_01]: had a third of an inning.
[SPEAKER_01]: One K Tommy Fam had a home run to our BI's as team eight case three walks four hits two for four runners and scoring position four left on base.
[SPEAKER_01]: The royals never hit home runs at home.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is all Jim Resaudi's fault, stolen on Jim.
[SPEAKER_01]: Docker.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, again.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got a take that on this one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: If he doesn't see this, we'll clip it and send it to him.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I, you know, I was really tired of Nick loft in this series.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like Nick loft in it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jack had me in that cagly and none was hitting like one thirty.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he looked like Barry bonds against the pirates, so he's obviously a very high profile prospect.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it was pretty crazy how many homeruns I hit this series.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tuesday, Mitch Keller, six and two thirds, four hits, two earned one walk, five k's, give up a homerun to cags and loft, and as I just said,
[SPEAKER_02]: three fifty eighty are a generated eight whiffs, Ferguson closed out to seventh third of an inning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, his ERA sits at two seven seven.
[SPEAKER_02]: Santa Ana earned the loss.
[SPEAKER_02]: One in one third, two hits, one earned no walks, one K. Mattson came in and gave up that last hit, but the run went to Santa Ana.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cruz was one for four with his sixteenth home run of the year with one RBI was a solo shot
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're questioning why he's going to Atlanta or watch a clip of this home run, four hundred and fifty eight feet, one hundred and fifteen points six miles an hour, it was absolutely smoked.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was gone off the bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nikki G was one for four with his fourth home run of the year, two eighty two that Homer went four hundred twenty seven feet.
[SPEAKER_01]: FAMM Davis and Hayes each doubled its six hits total over six with runners in swine position five left on base and seven kays Wednesday four to three L falter four and two third six hits three earned two walks three kays two home runs bullpen ashcraft and math and ashcraft two and one third three hits three kays maths in one inning two hits one earned one walk
[SPEAKER_01]: one crucial home run given up.
[SPEAKER_01]: The offense not much cruise fam with doubles cruising haze with RBIs as a team nine case two walks eight hits two for nine runners in scoring position six left on base cruise was caught stealing and they take the L two close games
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, two close games, I guess.
[SPEAKER_02]: They came down to the very last inning.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Pirates just weren't able to get off ends to push them over the edge, like a couple of homelunns in game two with crews and Nicky Jews.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see Nicky G. Goyard.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it just weren't, weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I guess it was good to see some guys cross home plate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Unlike the series in Seattle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, but I ain't gonna get it easier.
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like they're really helping out the AL Central this week because the world's jumped into second place from this series and now we play the team that they jumped and they got off to a hot start this year, but
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been, I think, slower out the last month dropped a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two games flow, five hundred.
[SPEAKER_02]: Still going to be a tough matchup man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's, they have hard tough matchups.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's say a quick break here, and then we will preview the upcoming series, verse the Minnesota twins.
[SPEAKER_01]: Scott, we're back.
[SPEAKER_01]: Verse the Minnesota twins, the twin cities.
[SPEAKER_01]: It twins right now, forty five and forty seven, third in the A.L.

[SPEAKER_01]: Scott, why don't you get us into Friday's game?
[SPEAKER_02]: Friday's game is going to be must watch TV, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Big batch up Joe Ryan, who's one of my favorite arms.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think was slept on slept on arms in the league versus Paul schemes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ryan this year's eaten four with a two seven six year A, one a one a four and a third innings pitched.
[SPEAKER_02]: Eighteen games.
[SPEAKER_02]: One hundred sixteen k is point eight nine whip.
[SPEAKER_02]: Point eight nine whip.
[SPEAKER_02]: The fore seam.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's that's his go to pitch, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Over fifty percent of the time, we'll sit mid nineties, nothing crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: The sweeper split, come in at fourteen percent of the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll sit low to mid eighties and he also has a sinker slider and curve that he finishes off his repertoire with.
[SPEAKER_02]: Excut command and control rarely beats himself with walks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fastball has elite characteristics, despite average veto, works quickly and pounds the zone that foreseen a little bit more about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is bread and butter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Despite not lighting up the radar gun,
[SPEAKER_02]: It plays up due to elite vertical ride and deception from a low three quarters arm slot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hitters off, can struggle to pick it up, especially up in the zone.
[SPEAKER_02]: The splitter was added to his arsenal of twenty-three.
[SPEAKER_02]: It gives him a much needed weapon against lefties and helps generate more whiffs and ground balls.
[SPEAKER_02]: Still developing it, but has shown flashes of being a plus pitch.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a guy when they acquired him from the rays.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, this is like a rate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Classic rays pitcher.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sure they did not want to give up on him.
[SPEAKER_02]: forget who went back in return for that was he the Nellie cruise trade I can't remember anyways probably probably their ace I mean I know they have Pablo Lopez but he's a really really good arm and he's gonna throw a lot of fastballs and get swings and misses at the top of his up
[SPEAKER_02]: It was an L. E. Crew Street.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good job.
[SPEAKER_01]: pitcher has not been announced for Saturday.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll go to Sunday right handed pitcher.
[SPEAKER_01]: Simian Woods Richardson, first Mitch Keller Woods Richardson this year, five and four, the four, eight, ERA, six, eight and one, third, andnings pitch, fourteen games, fifty nine case with a one, three, two,
[SPEAKER_01]: The arsenal is a four same slider curve change split lively pitch mix led by spin heavy fastball in budding splitter augmented by solid off speed offerings at his best he profiles as a dependable back end starter
[SPEAKER_01]: Keeps hitters off balance, advance feel for pitching.
[SPEAKER_01]: The splitter is a new addition to the arsenal that's showing real promise.
[SPEAKER_01]: It tunnels well off the fastball with significant drop and arm side fade.
[SPEAKER_01]: Generates weak contact and swing and miss, especially against left handed hitters.
[SPEAKER_01]: Three games in Minnesota and then thank God for the y'all star break.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, my God.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just we made it through the first half.
[SPEAKER_01]: Almost.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're almost there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we've got all another half of baseball, which I'm very excited about, but I'm ready to close the chapter on this first half.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, same man.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm ready for a little break.
