[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of good series.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're back.
[SPEAKER_01]: The roundup is back.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's nice four days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Either felt like forty-eight hours or it felt like three weeks for people in baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: How didn't feel for you?
[SPEAKER_01]: Did it feel like three weeks?
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, no, just because I slept for most of it and did some actual NFL player props football research.
[SPEAKER_01]: So for me, I just took kind of a second away from baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt appropriate.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say it felt like three weeks.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say it felt like two hours.
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt like the exact right amount of time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I might have been awake for two hours of it to be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: By the way, I'm Jack.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's Peter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I slept on Wednesday night into Thursday from nine thirty PM to eleven thirty a.m.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got fourteen hours and it was awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is incredible.
[SPEAKER_01]: I barely sleep during the season, just because I'm up so late watching the games that I'm getting up so early for the beginning.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you're freak athlete and I am a footballer.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a footballer.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's unmasked by most.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're saying it not me.
[SPEAKER_01]: What I am saying is the day after the world series, like it's the November first November second.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the John Rothstein we sleep in May.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is the best sleep.
[SPEAKER_01]: you could ever imagine I go to bed at like eight p.m.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wake up at noon.
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I sleep for sixteen hours a day for the next three days of a right back to it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is fun stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: But no, that break was good.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was good to see you guys in Atlanta and here we go.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got a full slate of Major League Baseball that we are going to
[SPEAKER_01]: Roundup, and it's all brought to you.

[SPEAKER_01]: I feel pretty happy because I feel like you gave me the ten best series of the weekend.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I was also looking at your list and I was like, you got a couple of pretty good ones too, which just means we're loaded.
[SPEAKER_01]: We are loaded.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are loaded and I'm starting with my fight and fish, your fight and fish, the official fight and fish of the just baseball show.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Miami Marlins took two with three against the Kansas City Royals at Lone Depot Park in Miami Game One.
[SPEAKER_02]: Eight, seven Miami and ten, Kyle Stowers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where were you when Kyle Stowers?
[SPEAKER_02]: Kansas City got a run in the ninth to tie it on John Rave's second homer of the game and his first two major league homers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Casey played it two more in the top of the tenth, but Kyle freaking Stowers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Walked it off on Carlos Estevez.
[SPEAKER_02]: The guy that punched him out in the all-star game.
[SPEAKER_02]: He got that two-run walkoff homer against Estevis and a forcing fastball.
[SPEAKER_02]: The bottom of the tenth is part of a second consecutive multi-homor day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Five homers over two games with an all-star game and a swing-off homer in between.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Marlids won game one at eight seven and ten.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game two, pitcher's dual, three-one fish.
[SPEAKER_02]: Otto Lopez played it all three runs with an RBI ground out in the first and a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Salvador Perez, he provided the only offense for KC with a solo shot in the top of the eighth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Walker, six innings, a one-run ball, but the number one-hundred player in baseball, Calquantrol, six scoreless, just two hits against him, Cave three, didn't walk anyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game three, seven, four, Kansas City, they salvage, they avoid the sweep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Miami got four runs on the bottom of the ninth from a two-run double or two-run single from Xavier Edwards, two-run double from Augustine Ramirez.
[SPEAKER_02]: That made it close.
[SPEAKER_02]: Smarlane's actually got the tying run to the plate going into the ninth, trailing seven, nothing.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Chris Boovitch continued the all-star thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Five scoreless innings, kept the pitch count below seventy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Salvi went yard again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jack Caglione had a two-run double.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you ain't fish fam now, smell you later.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I told you on July twenty, if that the Miami Marlins would be three or four games up over the Atlanta Braves, I would have called you crazy, but that's why we love the game of baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to throw it over to you to just properly glaze Kyle Stowers because he deserves it, but I just want to interject with the player that I've also been enjoying on the Marlins, and I know you have to auto Lopez.
[SPEAKER_01]: Auto Lopez can kind of do it all.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got eleven homeruns, ten steals.
[SPEAKER_01]: He plays great defense at both shortstop and second base.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this was a guy about maybe two months ago when I think it was a male bad question when we were talking about guys who got off to a really rough couple of months to start the season.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought would heat up and we had a whole list of names.
[SPEAKER_01]: But a guy that I wanted to focus on was auto Lopez.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mentioned
[SPEAKER_01]: How good he would be for fantasy owners because he can it for power, because he can steal bases.
[SPEAKER_01]: But on the baseball field, he's defending his position really well.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just a very well-rounded player that I feel like not a lot of people are talking about.
[SPEAKER_01]: And because Kyle Stowers hits a home run every single day, nobody's really talking about auto, but auto deserves some more love.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, over his last twenty-two games, Otto has twenty-seven RBIs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, that leads Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: Twenty-seven RBIs over his last twenty-two.
[SPEAKER_02]: A couple of things about Otto Lopez, are a more to, wrote a tremendous piece at the end of last week about the Marlins, just kind of stayed at the Marlins right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he mentioned, Otto is tracking for the best shortstop season from a Miami Marlins since Jose Reyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, that's a long time.
[SPEAKER_02]: The long auto is that kind of guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this guy got DFA twice.
[SPEAKER_02]: How does that happen?
[SPEAKER_02]: He's always been a world class defender.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he was at second base.
[SPEAKER_02]: Elite second base defense can win you gold gloves, can win you platinum gloves.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it doesn't get you beyond like the Bryce terrain, Bryce and Scott bucket.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, those are good players.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you're in a elite defensive shortstop,
[SPEAKER_02]: All of a sudden, you can carve out ten years in the big leagues like Nick Ahmed.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Otto, what I think he has proven over the last month, playing shortstop in the big leagues, is that he is not only a good defensive shortstop in the big leagues, he's an elite defensive shortstop in the big leagues.
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he's hitting enough, his OPS right now, I think sits at seven, ten.
[SPEAKER_02]: Major League average right now is seven, fifteen.
[SPEAKER_02]: If he is a one hundred WRC plus player, he's a four-wind shortstop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's exceptional.
[SPEAKER_02]: He, outside of Stowers, obviously, is probably my favorite Marlin, not name Ron Henryk as to watch right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Yuri, I'll throw you in.
[SPEAKER_02]: Otto is probably my second favorite hitter outside of Stowers to watch right now because the value is just oozing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every single time you watch him play baseball, it's gritty, it's fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't make mistakes.
[SPEAKER_02]: He made a throwing ear in the fifth inning on Sunday and we're like, we forgot he did that sometimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we forgot he's a human being.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Otto is somebody that I feel like this fan base is falling in love with, and I feel like baseball will fall in love with very, very quickly, and I hope it's happening right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Agreed, it's happening with me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is, you know, just an enjoyer of the fish right now, but floors yours, cost hours.
[SPEAKER_02]: So Sunday in Baltimore, he hit three homers against the team that drafted him and that he debuted with.
[SPEAKER_02]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_02]: All star game comes around.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy punches out against Carlos Estevez, but then hits a Homer in the swing off in Atlanta.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Friday comes around.
[SPEAKER_02]: He sees Estevez again, and he takes a foreseen fastball and he hits it into the seats for a walk off to run Homer.
[SPEAKER_02]: Another multi-homer day for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: So three homers on Sunday, four day break, two homers on Friday.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is from Optistats.
[SPEAKER_02]: Since RBI's became an official stat in nineteen twenty the only other major league baseball player.
[SPEAKER_02]: To reach eight hits five homers and eleven RBI's over a two game stretch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ty Cobb in May of nineteen twenty five good company.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you're doing something that only Ty Cobb has done in the last a hundred and five years, you're doing something really, really right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this guy, it was cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was, he did a post game interview with Stephen Strom, who's my partner on Marlin's radio.
[SPEAKER_02]: It does a great job hosting Marlin's on deck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Stephen was on field after.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Stephen, like his first question was just, dude, what planet are you on right now?
[SPEAKER_02]: And Kyle said, I promise you, it's not.
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't feel as sexy as it looks.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks pretty sexy, Kyle Stowers.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in a flow state.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's in a flow state right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that this guy is very comfortable with where he's at as a baseball player at this moment.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is beyond anybody's wildest dreams for Kyle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, uh, just to wrap up on stowers, talk about the confidence level from Dave Roberts to put him in the swing off at all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You kind of, you played in the color aided.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would assume Clayton, the color had some saying that because he was on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he probably was like, this is a good guy to have, but at the end of the day, it is Dave Roberts decision and Dave Roberts picked it.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is like it and let him off.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I kind of felt like I was watching the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was already laying in bed at the Airbnb.
[SPEAKER_02]: And by bed, I mean couch, great job, arm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Was that Colby?
[SPEAKER_02]: Was that a Colby or Elijah thing?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or did an arm look better?
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was an arm thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think an arm looked at the Airbnb.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I was laying on the couch, watching on my phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I felt like Leo de Caprio in a, oh, what was it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Was it don't look up?
[SPEAKER_02]: Leo de Caprio when he's like, he sits up in the chair and snaps at the TV?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, oh, that's the guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's our guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the morning.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was, that was awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Great weekend to be a part of fish fam.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: Huge weekend to be a part of fish fam.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a great weekend to be a yinzer and it was yinzer Pelosi weekend in Pittsburgh.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pirates gets swept by the white socks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not only swept, they got embarrassed by the white
[SPEAKER_01]: But race by the team that might win the penit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk about the hottest team out of the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game Two, ten four white socks, the Pirates, three for fifteen with runners in scoring position.
[SPEAKER_02]: Linine Sosa, three for three with a double in three RBI's, socks pull pin went four and two third scoreless.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game three, seven two white socks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Four run first, with a pair of homers from Miguel Vargas, Mike Talkman against Andrew Heaney, who allowed seven earned runs in four innings, e-R-R-A-L-Ear sits at five point O-III.
[SPEAKER_02]: The pirates owe for three with runners in scoring position.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the weekend totals from that three-game suite to the hands of the white socks.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Pittsburgh pirates were outscored twenty-seven to seven,
[SPEAKER_02]: and they were four for twenty seven with runners in scoring position.
[SPEAKER_02]: On Yens or Pelosi weekend, no less.
[SPEAKER_02]: They give a Mac Miller Bible heads on Saturday.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to, I almost like wanted to take a trade to Pittsburgh just to go to that game to get a Mac Miller Bible head.
[SPEAKER_01]: But did you see that joke or like there was all these photos of people just hoarding the Mac Miller Bible heads?
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of the coolest giveaways that team has ever done.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't be that guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bring your trash bag and just find them all over the stadium and steal them for kids.
[SPEAKER_01]: Be better.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm totally with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have takes about the pirates?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have takes about the white socks?
[SPEAKER_02]: This was, I mean, dude.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to be honest.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm an honest guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a lot better series that just watched the white socks team rolled the Pittsburgh pirates when we did even get a Paul scheme start sprinkled in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I do want to talk about one takeaway, it's not going to be very long, but it is interesting, at least in my opinion.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mike Talkman couldn't net the white socks.
[SPEAKER_01]: A pretty decent return.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I know he's a rental, so it's not going to be anything crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: But this guy's just flown completely under the radar this year, and it has to do with the fact, well, he hasn't been healthy for the entirety of the year, but I ask you, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: When we do our trade deadline stuff, how many teams could use an outfielder?
[SPEAKER_01]: How many teams could use a left-handed bat?
[SPEAKER_01]: Mike Talkman is slashing two, eighty, nine, three, eighty, three, four, sixty, four for an eight, forty, seven, OPS.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now is he going to continue that the entirety of the year?
[SPEAKER_01]: Probably not.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he going to be valuable for a contender?
[SPEAKER_01]: Potentially if they need a guy like this, I think so.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think Mike Talkman is going to be one of those guys when he gets traded and everyone's like, whoa, they got that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they go look at Mike Talkman stats and they're like, oh shit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if Mike Tockman was traded to my team, I should be pretty damn excited.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what I wanted to point out that Mike Tockman is a pretty sneaky deadline acquisition for a team.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he is, he makes a lot of sense in a lot of different places.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Kansas City is probably skewing towards selling instead of buying, but they would buy a talkman within the division San Diego.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Mike Talkman would be a really good podgerate tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are a lot of teams that could use a corner out, feel it or like that, and Talkman would be in upgrade.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: The other thing that I have here, I know he, the homerde knew is like a decently quiet weekend for him.
[SPEAKER_02]: nowhere close to the level that Kyle Stowers as emerged for the marlins, but the white socks have a piece of merging for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Miguel Vargas has emerged fully as a piece for the white socks moving forward.
[SPEAKER_02]: It seems like they are in the figuring it out stage, and they have had Miguel Vargas solidify himself as somebody moving forward.
[SPEAKER_02]: They've had Chase Myd Roth in whatever capacity it may be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it every day shortstop?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they've had him emerge as somebody that they can work with.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Tiel Carroll, that feels like you're catching tandem moving forward.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're figuring it out kind of piece by piece.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like that Miguel Vargas is forced their hand with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: The one that intrigues me is Linine Sosa.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he flashes just enough to stick around and get a bit more time.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't want, I don't want to pretend that like I watch every single at battle in Sosa right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: From my time watching the Wadsucks, it does seem that Linine's so so likes to eat up some lefties.
[SPEAKER_01]: And against righties, he more seems like a short side of the Lippatoon guy, but at the same time, you can carve out a valuable bigly career crushing lefties like I think he does.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't have the stats in front of me.
[SPEAKER_01]: is my, I do correct with Linine Sosa crush on lefties.
[SPEAKER_02]: Linine Sosa against left handed pitching is so ridiculously off.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy is a five seventy seven OPS against left handed pitching, but it's seven eighty OPS against right handed pitching.
[SPEAKER_02]: You couldn't have been more wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: We just started the podcast and I'm already cooked.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, re-racket, really, fifteen minutes.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's get run.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a good run.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a good run on White Sox Pirates.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're due to the, we're back to the weekend roundup.
[SPEAKER_01]: I apologize out there folks.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't listen anything I say for the rest of the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get four days off.
[SPEAKER_02]: We forgot out of freaking talk, huh?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna podjraysnats in Washington.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this was close to a drumming.
[SPEAKER_02]: San Diego won two or three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Washington won game two, but San Diego obliterated the Nats in game three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game one went to the podjray seven, two, tied it two through eight, but San Diego had a five run top of the ninth against Kyle Finnegade, the only tradable piece for the Nats, including a many Machado Grand slam in that ninth.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is he even tradable?
[SPEAKER_02]: Dude, I have no idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: It took Washington.
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven pictures to get through the last four innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: I saw how many pictures were listed on the box.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was like, how are you?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Siroka didn't even go decently long.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not like he was chased out of the box.
[SPEAKER_02]: Siroka went five and they still used eight pictures in the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: First game out of the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven pictures in the final four frames, Dylan C's was nails.
[SPEAKER_02]: Five and a third, four hits, no runs.
[SPEAKER_02]: He came ten, didn't walk anyone.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game two, four two Washington.
[SPEAKER_02]: You garbage got the ball again.
[SPEAKER_02]: He took the loss.
[SPEAKER_02]: He went five innings at two run ball though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mitchell Parker quality starts six innings at two run ball.
[SPEAKER_02]: in the wind, the thing you'll lower home.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game three, eight, one, San Diego, second grand slam of the weekend.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sander Bogartz and the first is part of a five run first against the All-Star McKenzie Gore.
[SPEAKER_02]: Final line on Gore.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two and a third innings, eight hits, eight earned runs, two punchouts and three walks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Elias Diaz also took him deep.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nick Pevato was awesome, six innings, a three hit, one run ball, two games to one, Padre's took the series in Washington.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm gonna start to sell the Padre's.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking about adding to my future's portfolio.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because Arm and I were talking about it, I think on Friday's episode when we said one thing to watch and he asked the question, does Michael King and you garbage coming back change your opinion?
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I said is basically, yes, if they're back to their highs,
[SPEAKER_01]: this team could win, you know, ninety games.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's also about selling based on expectations, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm more talking about it from a betting perspective.
[SPEAKER_01]: So their live line right now is about ninety and a half.
[SPEAKER_01]: wins, and I just don't see this as a ninety-win team.
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like their bullpen, but sometimes bullpen's when they're used as much as the Padre's have.
[SPEAKER_01]: They start to dissipate down the stretch, and I also feel like the Padre's offense still is pretty top-heavy, and I also don't know the bat that they're going to get to completely change that idea.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, we're talking about potentially adding a hasty Sanchez or a Mike talkman.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that elevates them that much.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the Padre is right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a plus, seventeen run differential.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're, they're expected win loss is fifty one in forty eight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Whenever they play up in class, they're below five hundred right against teams over five hundred.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're twenty three and thirty six.
[SPEAKER_01]: They beat up on a lot of bad teams, most notably the nationals from this weekend.
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, when I say that,
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm more talking about betting lingo about taking their underwind total from here just because I don't view this team as a ninety-win team.
[SPEAKER_01]: I still think there are borderline playoff team.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to compete and if they get in the postseason, actually think there are better postseason team than they are regular season team for the rest of the season.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just thought I would throw that out there in case because I haven't bet it yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to throw that at you and ask you if you think I'm crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't really give you advice on that.
[SPEAKER_02]: because yes employee so more not from a bedding angle just thoughts in general about the podries or if you just don't want to answer that I understand no I mean I'm not going to answer it from that lens but what I will say about the podries like I try to get my finger on their pulse and they come in for three starting today like dates I didn't see their problems anywhere
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we see CS on Wednesday that that's my understanding that like Randy Vasquez and that a bullpen day or something.
[SPEAKER_02]: But see like does that feel like a ninety-one team like those three?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, so I was just gonna say like if that if those are the problems that they're running out here sixty percent of the time it's like, I understand what you're saying there there are a lot of deficiencies offensively that they're going to address and by a lot I mean like three and that's a lot for a team that is trying to
[SPEAKER_02]: It locked down a wild card spot.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to say win a division because at the end of the day, like is anybody aside from the Dodgers in the NOS trying to win a division.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just kind of the Dodgers division and they hold it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like Kansas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who knows who knows who knows without the Dodgers that would play it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about that later by Milwaukee.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not how the Dodgers are playing.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not a freaking brewers are playing more on that a little bit later.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, I feel like they are several pieces away.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if one deadline can fix everything that I want to see changed with saying.
[SPEAKER_01]: And also, here's the thing about the putters.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I hate to do this right after they won a series against the nationals.
[SPEAKER_01]: The putters are still a good team.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to make that clear.
[SPEAKER_01]: They had good performances this weekend, beating up the Kenzie Gore like that is wildly impressive.
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I just look at their offense and you say that they have six solidified spots and you're right.
[SPEAKER_01]: because those solidified spots are for nanotatis junior louisa rise, but at the same time, like I'm not big on a rise.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got to stand like that solidified to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's solidified, but it's still not that good, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Manning the Chateau is a monster.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gavin Sheets is not the same guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, Jackson Merrill is kind of having a tough season.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he might have just hit the I.L again.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Bogart's righty hit that big grand slam today, but he's a slightly above league average hitter this season.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Jake Croneworth has been really solid, but he's not been amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got a seven, fifty nine OPS.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it just turns into a bunch of holes.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the if King and Darvish aren't back to their normal selves, which I think is asking a lot for two guys coming off injury, especially with Darvish, you know, being thirty nine years old, almost.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just a little bit lower than market on them, and I think I'm, again, when I make takes like these people, you can think whatever you want, but I put my money where my mouth is.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a fact.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm down on the podges and we'll find out if I'm right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cool.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You want to go to Minnesota, Colorado?
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Minnesota, Colorado.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's chat about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Colorado took the front too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was thinking, hey, you know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe the rocks were going to sweep out of the break.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, not the case in front.
[SPEAKER_02]: That look for twins believers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not going to lie to twins nation.
[SPEAKER_02]: We are not in a good spot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I ask you a question?
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've seen Roy sluice throw the ball to first base, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looks really uncomfortable.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really uncomfortable.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want to like judge it because he gets it there, but it looks incredibly uncomfortable.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's he's
[SPEAKER_02]: a billion times the athlete that I am sitting on my ass right now talking about baseball, but it's just looks so unorthodox and uncomfortable getting the ball from third to first.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and the offense hasn't really been there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now he did have a couple of big hits in the series, which I know you're about to break down, but I talked about this.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think with you right on the American League episode where I was like, what is Royce Lewis?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: like how do we judge him moving forward if he's not the right grand slam every other game type of guy in place for the games and we think well if he stays healthy now he's been healthy and he's not that good so I think honestly what we were hoping he would be was boxed in where like oh just wait to play one sixty two and now we're watching boxed in play one sixty two and he's pretty awesome yeah and we're looking at Roy slow is and we're saying oh just wait till he plays one sixty two and we're watching play
[SPEAKER_02]: one twenty five and we're sitting here saying.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it.
[SPEAKER_01]: The twins were really built for the covid year.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know I don't even remember how they did during the covid year.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought a rise was going to hit four hundred.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you give them a sixty game sprint this team would with championship after championship.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, let's talk about this series in Cours Game One went to Colorado six to four.
[SPEAKER_02]: Colorado at a four run first against Chris Paddock, a lot of five runs in five innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Bucks didn't really cast a homer from Minnesota, so did Ryan McMahon and Jordan Beck for Colorado.
[SPEAKER_02]: Beck finished a double shy of a cycle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ryan Jeffers from Minnesota four for five of the double Kyle Freel in the story.
[SPEAKER_02]: Six innings a one run ball.
[SPEAKER_02]: at course.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game two, ten, six, Colorado.
[SPEAKER_02]: Rocky said four innings scoring multiple runs in that one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mickey money at Connor Goodman is he killed sovar.
[SPEAKER_02]: All I'd three hit days.
[SPEAKER_02]: Goodman, towvar, and Ryan McMahon all homered.
[SPEAKER_02]: Zebi Matthews, four innings, five earned, sends a tele.
[SPEAKER_02]: Quality start, baby.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shut up, Antonio, sends a tele.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game three, Joe Ryan Holtz skids for the Minnesota twins.
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven one Minnesota.
[SPEAKER_02]: Multihomor Day for Royce, Homer's from Bader and Walner as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe freaking Ryan man, seven innings, one run, eleven k's, no walks.
[SPEAKER_02]: Over his last five, a one, four, five, he array, and on the year he is third and all the major league baseball in whip.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's one of the best pitchers in the game.
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, and if he gets moved, it better be for a King's ransom.
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, and that's why I'm, I think he could potentially be the biggest name moved at this deadline, which, you know, if you're not watching Minnesota twins baseball, like Joe Ryan isn't that big of a name, but in case you've been living under a rock, Joe Ryan's got a two six three ERA and a hundred and sixteen innings with a hundred and thirty two strikeouts, and he's coming off a season where he posted a three six zero ERA, it's just that low slot, and you think to yourself, how is it guy?
[SPEAKER_01]: throwing fifty two percent fastballs at ninety three miles an hour.
[SPEAKER_01]: How is that working so well?
[SPEAKER_01]: How is the opponent batting average against that pitch?
[SPEAKER_01]: The best of any of his pitches, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Fifty two point four percent of the time he's thrown a fastball and ninety three point four miles an hour.
[SPEAKER_01]: And opponents are hitting one seventy seven against it with a three oh nine slug.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reason is and why we always talk about
[SPEAKER_01]: different slots and carry on the fastball.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of the lowest release heights of any pitcher, and it's just one of those risers that guys just can't get on top of, and we saw it full strength against the Rockies.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's the Rockies, but at the same time, give them a little credit.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is at Cours Field, and Joe Ryan, the Minnesota twin, does not have much experience pitching at Cours, but he walked in there and absolutely dominated a Rockies team that was putting up runs in the first two games
[SPEAKER_01]: So while the Rockies are terrible, I did think that it was a pretty solid performance.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reason I wanted to talk about them more is that he's been doing these kind of performances all season long.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if your team gets Joe Ryan, you're going to see the prospects traded for him and you're going to wince because it's going to be a lot.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then he's going to come over to your team and absolutely dominate the guy's box office.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can I give you some Joe Ryan numbers that I find fascinating?
[SPEAKER_02]: The most often thrown pitch in Major League Baseball this year has been Freddie Perlts's forcing passball.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's thrown it over eleven hundred times.
[SPEAKER_02]: He throws a fifty-seven percent of the time right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Similar kind of to Joe Ryan, the low slot, Ryzer and it works.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fastball Freddie.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ryan or Freddie Perlts, apart in his throne, the most of one pitch in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, Freddie has thrown his forcing fastball over eleven hundred times.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ryan's fastball is the tenth most often used pitch in baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's thrown at nine hundred and five times.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm going to do a dramatic ranking of a run value by pitches in baseball, the best pitches in Major League Baseball by run value.
[SPEAKER_02]: In a tie for sixth, Tyler Rodgers Sinker and Zach Wheeler's foreseen.
[SPEAKER_02]: In a tie for third,
[SPEAKER_02]: Brian Wu's Fastball, Chris Seil Slider, and Michael Walker's Changeup.
[SPEAKER_02]: The second best pitch in baseball by Run Value is Derek Schoobles' Changeup, and the best pitch in baseball by Run Value is Joe Ryan's Four Seemed Fastball.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all we need for this season.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to win a ton of games.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're probably not going to make the playoffs.
[SPEAKER_01]: You might even trade him, but that's the stat that you're run with.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the stat that you go tell your friends.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the stat that you tweet on Twins Twitter.
[SPEAKER_01]: Get after it right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a great poll.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ryan best pitch and baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ryan's fastball by run value on Savad is the best pitch in major league baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I stand by rocktober.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe back on.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see what happens now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Last series from me St.
[SPEAKER_02]: Louis and Arizona in the desert in Arizona with a sweep over the cards game one seven three Arizona all three St.
[SPEAKER_02]: Louis runs came in the night then including a two run home run from Victor Scott
[SPEAKER_02]: but Brandon fought when seven scoreless six k's and no walks, everyone but Corbin Carroll had a hit for Arizona.
[SPEAKER_02]: Game two, ten one Arizona Corbin Carroll changed that three for five of the double in two triples.
[SPEAKER_02]: Harold O. Perdomo, three hits and four RBIs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Eugenio Suarez, multi-homor day, Homer's thirty two and thirty three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ryan Nelson, six and he's a one-run ball, Sunny Grey got killed, three and a third, eleven hits and nine runs.
[SPEAKER_02]: But game three,
[SPEAKER_02]: For St.
[SPEAKER_02]: Louis and Arizona, five, three win for the Diamondbacks.
[SPEAKER_02]: A. U. Haney Oswaris.
[SPEAKER_02]: Holy hell dude, two for four another multi-homber day, four homers in the last two games, thirty-four and thirty-five.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this note from Bob Nightingale.
[SPEAKER_02]: No player in MLB history has been traded in season after reaching thirty-five homers.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Arizona, just swept St.
[SPEAKER_02]: Louis?
[SPEAKER_02]: If you asked me on Wednesday or Thursday or Friday, I would have said, well, Gino's going to be the first.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I'm looking at this saying, do they have a punch or chance?
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't quit this team.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I get it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to know Diamondbacks fans in the YouTube comments.
[SPEAKER_01]: Where are you at?
[SPEAKER_01]: Just where are you at?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you sweep the cardinals like this out of the break and you all know how great you've been in the second half over the last couple of seasons.
[SPEAKER_01]: You've seen Galen start to turn a corner.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kelly is solid.
[SPEAKER_01]: Brendan fought has looked a lot better lately.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you see the offense.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know you can compete.
[SPEAKER_01]: You went into the year is one of the favorites to come out of the national league.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know it's there.
[SPEAKER_01]: But you also can understand where your general manager is at in my case in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because for ever up until now, you guys have been playing like a seller.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what is GM Mike Hayson supposed to do?
[SPEAKER_01]: He knows that this is going to be a seller's market.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of teams looking for bats.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have the best one.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have looked at fourth best one in Josh Nailer.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have gallon.
[SPEAKER_01]: You could really recoup a ton of assets, but... Or we say fuck it and go for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gino Svoras.
[SPEAKER_01]: Since the second half of twenty twenty four.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fifty four home runs that ranks third in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: A hundred and thirty seven RBI's ranked second in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: Five, ninety-two slug that's third in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nine twenty four OPS that is fifth in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: Our account just baseball tweeted that out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gino Suarez has been a top five hitter since the start of twenty twenty four.
[SPEAKER_01]: My case in use that tweet because if you don't get the right package for him,
[SPEAKER_01]: What if the dumb backs buy?
[SPEAKER_01]: I will ought to see it happen.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they still have it, but at the same time, they have not proven they can do it consistently.
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, I do not envy Mike Asans position right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: This has got to be so tough because you know they have it in them.
[SPEAKER_01]: But at the same time, you have to make moves.
[SPEAKER_01]: You still have like a week, like what if they run off a winch trick, then what do we do?
[SPEAKER_01]: What do we just sit here and say?
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know what to do.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know Swara?
[SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned since the start of twenty four genoswaras is been second half second half of twenty twenty four second half of twenty four, but I'll give you the whole year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two hundred and fifty five games in an Arizona Diamond back student form.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy is six and a half wind player by B. War.
[SPEAKER_02]: And in two hundred and fifty five games he is sixty five homers and a hundred and eighty six driven in.
[SPEAKER_02]: this guy in November of twenty twenty three was acquired by Arizona for sebbies of all and Carlos Vargas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, Mariners fans.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's tough to hear.
[SPEAKER_01]: Stuff to hear because.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, I'm doing my TikTok lives and we're talking deadline.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mariners fans need Gito back talking about it in the discord to Gino Gino's number one on their wish list.
[SPEAKER_01]: They need a back and I understand why.
[SPEAKER_01]: but it's going to take a lot more than the package that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Arizona sent you, I'll tell you that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, hundred percent.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we're going to get to Peter's first club, but before that, I do want to tell you about our friends at ethos life insurance because when you lose someone close to you, you can't help but think about the future.

[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you go.
[SPEAKER_01]: I go.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we talk Yankees versus Braves game one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Braves wins seven to three.
[SPEAKER_01]: This game was over by the bottom of the third inning.
[SPEAKER_01]: as the Braves jumped all over Ian Hamilton for three in the first, and then Ozzy Albis had a three-run jack to give the Braves a six-zero lead.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the Yankees did have a three-run seventh, highlighted by a stand-two run double, but it just wasn't enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: His Spencer Strider was Spencer Freak and Strider.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six endings are shut out baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: Only three hits allowed with eight strikeouts.
[SPEAKER_01]: His ERA is down to three, five, nine, and I'm not gonna lie to you, Jack.
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a part of me after that game figured it myself.
[SPEAKER_01]: having a little bit of Diamondbacks blood in me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, oh no, what if this team goes crazy in the second half?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that really felt like a big time braves win.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is the twenty twenty five braves because they went on to
[SPEAKER_01]: lose the next two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game two, Yankee's win twelve to nine.
[SPEAKER_01]: Similarly, to game one, the Braves got out to a big lead early, leading five's year after four innings, highlighted by home runs for Michael Harris and Aussie.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be's again, and I'm thinking myself, okay, here, come the Braves.
[SPEAKER_01]: But this time, the Yankee's would not be denied.
[SPEAKER_01]: Volpi Homer didn't the fifth to narrow the lead.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then in the sixth, rallied for four runs, pulling within one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Olsen drove home the Braves eighth run after the rally, but Cody Bellinger grabbed it back with a dinger, and then Volpi Homer for the second time tying the game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then in the ninth,
[SPEAKER_01]: Trent, Frick and Grisham, rocked a grand slam, give it to the Yankees, the lead, and eventually the win.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now we'll warn you at crush for the Yankees.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out Joey Wentz, foreshadowed out innings was impressive, but the brave's bullpen just completely blew it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you could ask yourself, all right, game three, we lost.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you're a brave sin, we lost game two, got to win and game three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yankees went forward too.
[SPEAKER_01]: Judge Hope in the scoring with his thirty-sixth home run of the air and then Goldie drove home the second on an RBI single.
[SPEAKER_01]: Vivas got hit by a pitch in the sixth scoring a run and they needed it.
[SPEAKER_01]: As Olsen and Akunia, Homer late, but a jazz chism, RBI double gave them some breathing room.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shoutout Marcus Drowman, six innings, a one-run ball, three point zero zero ERA over four starts since he returned from the I.L.
[SPEAKER_01]: I gotta say it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I still believe in Anthony Volpi.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care what anybody says.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've said it before.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna say it a thousand times.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's Dan's B. Swanson.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at Dan's B. Swanson's early ears.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was the number one overall pick got traded.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not a great start to his career even over a few years.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he got better and better and better.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm the only ain't you fan on earth left who still believes in Anthony Volpi.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will stand by him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, read me the stats.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm typically.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't give me enough time to go on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fang rest.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm I'm scrolling on Fang rest right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's here's my thing.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm with you on Volpi.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that he's a fine major league shortstop, but I think Yankee fans are brutal.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so funny at the oldster game.
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of people came up to us and they were all great and some of them were Yankee fans and we'd start talking about the Yankee's a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they would say, why do you still believe in Volpi?
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, why don't you?
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they tell me about the season that we're all watching.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like, well, you make a lot of good points.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm watching the same Anthony Volpi that you are.
[SPEAKER_01]: It might just be a down year.
[SPEAKER_01]: It might be a down first half, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: We're hitting multiple homerons in the second half.
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't have a bad first half?
[SPEAKER_01]: Still a good defender, even though I know he has been a good defender this year, but I know he still is.
[SPEAKER_01]: And A-Rod talking about how we shouldn't pull fly balls like A-Rod.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, A-Rod is being silly.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to hear a good rant that like actually makes a lot of sense, it was Frank Thomas on the White Sox post game shows at the other day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was actually.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got the number one fly ball rate of all time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, but like, okay, so you're a victim of the headline here.
[SPEAKER_02]: What he was saying is stop trying to like get under a baseball because that's going to result in bad swings cut the ball in half.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's saying I'm sick of hearing guys saying they're trying to put the ball in the air.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course you're trying to cut the ball in half attack liners.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're under it a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how you hit homers.
[SPEAKER_02]: But a rod saying you can't pull fly ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: that he should just be some slapheader and bunt the ball of tawn.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you should, and you're turning him into a different player than he is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Score one for Peter.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anthony Volby, grading out far superior to Dan's B. Swanson, defensively by DRS and O.A.
[SPEAKER_02]: I threw his front three seasons.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it isn't part of being right all the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Couple of, couple of, couple of, couple of, take a ways on this series.
[SPEAKER_01]: He will wag her lately.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, will wag her lately?
[SPEAKER_02]: You see, Cam and Arrow in the Derby and the All-Star game?
[SPEAKER_01]: of it ever since the ulcer break and it has its skip to beat he is he he backspins balls like a conia
[SPEAKER_02]: He also just gets into his A-swing and when he connects, oh my god.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know.
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's why he's taken away.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not giving up on Anthony Volpi.
[SPEAKER_01]: He thinks he fans, you shouldn't either.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's our short stop.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get behind him.
[SPEAKER_01]: He needs a little bit of confidence.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's twenty-four years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: Give a second.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So my takeaway from this series, I got two of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, Will Warren's hand is apparently fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm punching the roof of the dugout and then looking at his hand for the next inning.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lord me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lord me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Devon Williams is your teammate.
[SPEAKER_02]: You should know at this point.
[SPEAKER_02]: Number two, this brave is bullpen.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't hear it for some reason you're my muted it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll try now.
[SPEAKER_02]: You could hear that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't hear that on there.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if anybody wondering, we're doing fart sounds for this brave's bullpen, you know, like
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they even going to get a good package for I sell a glacier?
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they going to get a package for Pierce Johnson?
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not, they can't even trade those guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why not?
[SPEAKER_02]: I sell, it's probably making too much money.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you just got a hold onto them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, yeah, I mean, the braves, again, another thing that we were talking about in the discord.
[SPEAKER_01]: people were like, who's the most disappointing team?
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, it's the Braves by far on a game into the season with the second highest win total of any team, favored to win the nationally east when you have an electric Phillies team and a great match team and the Braves were priced as the favorite and deservedly so.
[SPEAKER_01]: This has just been a season from hell, from hell.
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody would take on right cell.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's expiring this series making it sixteen so they'll own about five so they'll take on right cell.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it has been a season from now on with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Next series.
[SPEAKER_01]: Next series up.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got the giants taken on the jays.
[SPEAKER_01]: The jays are the hottest team in baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, maybe besides the birds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely the hottest team in the American League.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game one, Blue Jays went forward to zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: They scored all four runs in the second on RBI hits from Joey Lopore.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fito will Wagner.
[SPEAKER_01]: Will Wagner and HR who kiss I said will Wagner either yeah, and that was basically it Chris Bassett was in and out of trouble all day magically avoided damage six and a third ten hits no earned five strikeouts and his counterpart Justin Verlanner did not survive three full innings getting bounce with nine hits and four runs but shot a trust in back for filling in tossing four innings for plus settings excuse me of one hit baseball move on to game two
[SPEAKER_01]: Jay's win six or three.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is just the year of Eric Lauer.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the year of the Toronto Blue Jay's Dicing took a perfect game into the fifth, but William Dom has broke this going open with a home run.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Giants put up one more in the sixth, but that was a last time they led.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Jay's were aggressive against web, putting runners on constantly and then the floodgates just finally open in the sixth as Heinemann Wagner
[SPEAKER_01]: and earned a command all-drove and runs to give Toronto the lead, and they never looked back.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Willie Domacet, Homer again late, but a Taylor Heineman home run in the eighth was the dagger.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game three, Jay's win eight to six, both team straight runs in the first, highlighted by a Vladdy ding-dong, his third teeth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Only thirteen on runs for Vladdy.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's having a good year, his OPS is above a hundred, but
[SPEAKER_01]: thirteen homerons, we need to see him enter a power surge in the second half, and then after that, Homer, the jacers took control.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bashet drove home two and the third, then in the fifth, springer and barger Homer, as part of a four run inning, and that was all they needed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the giants would battle back, highlighted by a mat Chapman home run, but it just wasn't enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: The freaking Toronto Blue Jays just don't lose their firing at all cylinders.
[SPEAKER_01]: This back end bullpen has just been
[SPEAKER_01]: Unheard of they're getting solid starting, starting, pitching performances.
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's everybody in the lineup.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's doing their job.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we just talked about this a few episodes ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: I said what will continue to propel the Blue Jays and keep them at the top of the American League East.
[SPEAKER_01]: George Springer out of Symbarsher because if we know Bashet, Vlad, either going to hit.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, the role players are going to do their jobs.
[SPEAKER_01]: But can those two guys be true, different makers in the lineup versus just solid hitters?
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've just as soon as the brakes ended, they're right back to just hitting bombs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Barger hits everything hard.
[SPEAKER_01]: Springer is just putting up AB after AB.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just such a good team and vibes are so high in Toronto.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, junior, Kevin Earl, one, twenty one WRC plus will wag your ninety one WRC plus Wagner's come in to ninety one is been immaculate.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's still for thirty percent worse than Kevin Arrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're coming.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just saying since the all star break.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... junior caminero has a three sixty four w r talking about the race will wagnor has a two eighty seven w r c plus so caminero still out w r c plus in wagnor over a two-game sample all i'm saying is he's coming
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think Kevin Arrow.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's probably getting his heels anymore.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying he's got about the rear view.
[SPEAKER_01]: Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a bar.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is a bar.
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you make that up?
[SPEAKER_01]: Or do you get that from a car?
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely like a, yeah, it's on the cars.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or like it's a meme too.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no way I'm it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything else on the blue chase?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, no, they're kind of a wagon right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all I got.
[SPEAKER_01]: Could talk about the giants.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: They have identity problems.
[SPEAKER_01]: Here's the thing with the giants.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody in their lineup is hot at the right time, or at the same time, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: It started with Walmart floor as a match Chapman, and then the match Chapman gets injured, and Zhang Huli had a little stretch there, and then he get devours, and he doesn't get off to a good start, and then William Dama starts to heat up.
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, nobody else is, so it's like one guy in the lineup is providing all of the offense, and it's always a different guy, none of them are doing it at the same time.
[SPEAKER_01]: So watching giant spaceball right now that can't hit with runners in scoring position, they're still pitching fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they ran into just the hottest team in baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not going to judge this pitching staff just on this series because they have been fantastic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Both in the rotation and in the bullpen all season long, but the offense, they just have to click and I am curious what pose he's going to do with the deadline because this team needs bats.
[SPEAKER_02]: So my thing on San Francisco, you have talked about the climb back to even at the Black Jack table, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: You've had that really good on quick, and then you fight your way back to even.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been there plenty of times.
[SPEAKER_02]: Willy Adamus is really close to even.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see what you're doing?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's won a bunch of hands in a row.
[SPEAKER_02]: A Dom is, William Dom is number one as a hired WRC plus the mookie bats, which is crazy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Number two, a Dom is just at a ninety eight WRC plus and a one point eight war.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's a world where this season ends at a one o eight to one ten WRC plus and he's a three win shortstop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe even a three and a half win shortstop.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really do think this is going to be the worst year.
[SPEAKER_01]: for Adamas and a giant's uniform.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so too.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because how many times have we seen a big time free agent go to that team and then struggle in their first year?
[SPEAKER_01]: Happens all the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been a trade turner.
[SPEAKER_01]: Happy to friends at a school in door.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: So happen to Harper.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's happened to numerous guys and we could just go down a list, naming all the stars when they first sign with a team and then don't get off to a great start.
[SPEAKER_01]: So if William Thomas is a three-wind player this year with twenty five home runs,
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not loving that, but if that's his worst year on your team, you feel pretty good about him moving forward.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, if I'm a giant's fan, I'm rooting for him the rest of the way, but in the back of my mind knowing, this is probably gonna be his worst season with our club, but I can't wait for next year and not to say that the giants are punting this year.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm more just talking about William Domison of vacuum.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna New York, boss.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go to New York.
[SPEAKER_01]: Reds vs. the Metz Game One.
[SPEAKER_01]: Reds win eight to four.
[SPEAKER_01]: Metz got out to a two-o lead early, highlighted by a one-sotto, Dinger, but from there it was all since he, Hayes got the Reds going with a solo shot in the fourth, and then McLean gave them the lead with a two-run shot in the fifth, then in the sixth, Hayes showed up again with a Dinger, and then Stevenson did the same, and that was all they needed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Sean and I look great.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought Fournings, one hit, one earned six, Caze, but Ladolo was just a lot better.
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven innings, two earned seven punchies.
[SPEAKER_01]: ERA for Ladolo down to three, three, three, incredibly impressive.
[SPEAKER_01]: Move to game two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Reds win five to two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Same thing as game one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Metz got out two to O lead early.
[SPEAKER_01]: This time highlighted by a Brett Bady home run.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out, Brett Bady.
[SPEAKER_01]: I see you heating up.
[SPEAKER_01]: And from there, it was all reds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Reds scattered runs in the third in the fourth and then again in the sixth, highlighted by a three hit day from Jake.
[SPEAKER_01]: Fraley.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the Metz had to win this one, and they did.
[SPEAKER_01]: Winning three to two, back and forth game.
[SPEAKER_01]: Eleave the reds of one zero lead.
[SPEAKER_01]: Early in an RBI single, then Brandon Emot did the same in the third.
[SPEAKER_01]: Luis Hanel Akunia, doubled to give the Metz the lead, but Spencer Seared tied it back up in the eighth, with a basis loaded hit by pitch.
[SPEAKER_01]: Metz took the lead in the bottom half, as Luis torrents smacked one towards Matt McLean.
[SPEAKER_01]: Through home, Soto just beats the throw.
[SPEAKER_01]: classic pitcher's duel between Andrew Abbott and David Peterson.
[SPEAKER_01]: Abbott, six innings, two runs.
[SPEAKER_01]: It does that every single start.
[SPEAKER_01]: His ERA is down to two, one, three, but Peterson was just a little bit better.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings, four hits, one earned four strikeouts.
[SPEAKER_01]: His ERA is down to two, nine, zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you have takeaways on the reds.
[SPEAKER_01]: One thing that I actually texted in the group chat.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got David Peterson wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wrong, wrong, wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Everybody did.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was really anti-David Peterson though.
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe everybody did, but I'm calling myself out for that one.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought there was a chance that he wouldn't even, after, well, last year he was much better, but a few years ago, I was like, this guy, I mean, what's the difference between an M and Joey Lucasey?
[SPEAKER_01]: He's now throwing in the bullpen for the Giants, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: But David Peterson went from, I thought, outcast to legit all star and every single, sorry, he comes out every fifth day.
[SPEAKER_01]: Throw strikes, weak contact, lethal against lefties.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're delivery, just been so good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shout out David Peterson.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Big man, funky, all star.
[SPEAKER_02]: Another all star lefty.
[SPEAKER_02]: Abbott, I'm drunk on the Abbott juice right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dog.
[SPEAKER_01]: We just talked about him so many times because every single weekend round up, it's, oh, what did Abbott do?
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings, one run, seven innings, two runs, five innings, shut out, doesn't matter.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's cool again.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the metrics are never going to love him.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like chatting with him at all star if you guys didn't hear that little like best sounds of the all-star week thing that I put together here.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was last Tuesday's pod.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was last Tuesday's pod.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys didn't hear that, the conversation with Abbott was like so fun because it really implied that his success sits on fastball execution and he said, well, time to make my fastball execution perfect every single time.
[SPEAKER_02]: And guess what he does every single time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: every single time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything else on the reds?
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's exciting, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: This team, um, Pagan, you know, had after he got out one Soto at the end of game two, it was a great battle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Soto almost tied the game with a home run, but just narrowly went foul and Pagan, um, on the field in that
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of post game presser.
[SPEAKER_01]: What do they call that when you're not in the press room, but you're on the field is just a what post game interview post game interview.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they were invited to cool name for it when you're on the field versus in the.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you're on field interview.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're on post game interview.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought maybe you had like a cool nickname for it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you you mean the you mean the O F P G I. The O F P G I. The O P G the on field post game interview.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Pagan's off piggy.
[SPEAKER_01]: he was basically saying that they made a priority like come out of the break hot and prove to this front office that they need to add pieces and you could feel that energy it felt like every game in this series felt like a playoff game for the reds and they were just doing all of the little things right now in game three kind of came crashing down a little bit and that's the reds problem they're just they can't string these
[SPEAKER_01]: consistent performances on all sides of the ball.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what's held them back a little bit, but this team should add they can compete even in a really tough national league.
[SPEAKER_01]: They got the starting pitching.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you had a couple bullpen arms and you find a batter too, this team can make a run.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now it's tough when the borers and the cubs are just like the two best teams of baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: What are you supposed to do?
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're spots open in this wild card race.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's not like all these other teams have completely taken it over and you just beat a team at home.
[SPEAKER_01]: Arguably the best team in baseball at home this year.
[SPEAKER_01]: You went toe to toe with them and you won the series.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to start getting serious and sensey.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not something that we always say about the Reds.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I also think Paganza dock.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is just for what he said, but he's a really good closer in maybe baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Greatly enjoy watching him pitch.
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree, but I would like to see the Reds add a bullpen arm or two.
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't need to be a closer.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I'm fine with Pagan closing.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm totally fine with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just have bigger aspirations for the reds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sumi.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, Reds fans.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've bigger aspirations for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, don't turn this on me.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're, it's your fault.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everybody that my bar is low.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're saying that the reds.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I like that ballpark dude.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that ballpark a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: How about an old Dominion concert on Getaway Day?
[SPEAKER_02]: We kind of cut it tight for the bus to the airport in Cincinnati because we were watching old Dominion perform for a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a good vibe.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: The only bad part about senses, their skyline chilly and every single time I go to Cincinnati, I have an amazing time to the old.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got dragged.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was talking about how I think it's a kind of dog food.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Argania Kirby, who's the man.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like I was enjoying your broadcast until you just drag Skyline Chile and I don't know where and I had like five other people reach out and say like you were being mean about Skyline.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not good.
[SPEAKER_01]: They take it really seriously.
[SPEAKER_01]: And every single time I go there, I get approached by fans at great American ballpark.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, have you had the chili?
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you had this guy line chili?
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I already tried it right at a three out of ten.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why it's sweet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do you put cinnamon in it?
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure they're going to be reds fans in the comments like backing it up.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's your thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the roast me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like Larosis pizza.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, what else?
[SPEAKER_02]: Graders is sensational ice cream.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like maybe the best ice cream in the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you can't drag me for Skyline.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like enough of your other stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know everything else is good.
[SPEAKER_01]: The baseball team is good.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not Skyline chili fans.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry if that makes you turn off the podcast forever, but we have to speak our truth whenever we have to.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk Angel's Philly's before we lose every other Reds fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was very nice to the actual team though, Reds fans can be a break.
[SPEAKER_01]: Angel's versus Philly's.
[SPEAKER_01]: Angel's went six to five.
[SPEAKER_01]: How about those angels?
[SPEAKER_01]: Schworburne's so layer traded home runs early and then Harper and Adele did the same, but the Philly's held a one run lead.
[SPEAKER_01]: Trout tied it up in the fifth with an RBI single and then Taylor Ward ripped the dagger with a two run shot in the seventh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bryce Harmer, Homer's late, just wasn't enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: Move to game two, Philly's bounce back when nine to five.
[SPEAKER_01]: The angels' home run party continued though as both Joe Adele who we got to talk about in a minute.
[SPEAKER_01]: and Taylor Ward who we also have to talk about in a minute.
[SPEAKER_01]: Left the yard again in Moncata who I don't really need to talk about it in a minute.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jumped in with one of his own, but the Phillies got the last laugh after being down forward to, going into the bottom of this sixth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Rojas brought home the Phillies third run on a sack fly and the Schwabberg gave the Phillies a three run lead on a grand Salami.
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I remember doing the top one hundred and feeling like I'm crazy because I ran Kyle Schwabberg on my top one hundred.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there was two like brain dead guys I was talking to on the show.
[SPEAKER_01]: I forget their names.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were pretty forgettable guys talking about how Schworber doesn't deserve Jack for all those listed.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got audio jack just left the zoo.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just me for now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about how Schworber is one hundred percent a top one hundred player.
[SPEAKER_01]: Grantslam, Harper Homer to get in the eighth for good measure.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game three, and it was when eight to two, is he back yet?
[SPEAKER_01]: Nope, he's just poking out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry that you got sensitive.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry that Schwabber is obviously a top one under player, and you can't handle it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Move to Game three.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mike, you did the right to make for you to do this to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was with eight to two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Angels came out hot, putting up five runs in the second to basically put away this Philly seam highlighted by a base is clearing double from fricking Taylor Ward over seventy RB eyes for ward this season.
[SPEAKER_01]: Philly's kind of battled highlighted by an auto camp home run, but Lamont Wade Homer does the angels tacked on a few more and this thing was over.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jose Soriano just keeps the ball on the ground.
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven andnings two earned five k's earrays down to three eight three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ranger Swars is twelve start streak of three runs or less came to an end as he allowed six earned in four and a third.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about Taylor Ward, but how about Frick and Joe Adele?
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Adele, and I'm just pulling up the stats here too because I don't want to miss quote how good he has been this season.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're up to twenty one home runs on the Air Forum and eight oh six OPS.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not grading out defensively well defensively in the outfield, but
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to choose not to believe that because I'm drunk on the Joe Adele cool aid.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think to myself, all right, twenty six years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: It ain't over yet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes guys develop a little bit later and Joe Adele always had it in him.
[SPEAKER_01]: He was always this freakish player who struck out too much.
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked disengaged.
[SPEAKER_01]: He just looks like he didn't really know how to play baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: And now this is a baseball player.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just so excited for him because I always knew it was in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was just about him developing and unlocking this power speed combo.
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, I think to myself, Aaron Judge, Ricky, or twenty-six, Jacob DeGrom, when did he break out?
[SPEAKER_01]: Twenty-six years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's plenty of stories in Major League Baseball of guys just blooming late, and Joe Adele feels just like a late bloomer, but Joe Adele I'm glad you're here, because this is awesome to watch.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really glad he's here too.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's cool because there are so many glaring aspects of his game that are still a work in progress.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not a very good defender.
[SPEAKER_02]: You think he can get better.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's only twenty six years old.
[SPEAKER_02]: He can he still like fully in the midst of his physical peak.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got five years.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got the speed.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got the arm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not to be better.
[SPEAKER_02]: Better defensively.
[SPEAKER_02]: He can walk a little bit more.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not really walking.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's well below Major League average in terms of walk rate.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he still has a one, twenty six WRC plus.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: If this guy finishes his years at two and a half win player and an objectively bad defender, why can't he be a three and a half win player and an okay defender next year?
[SPEAKER_02]: And then after that in his age twenty eight season, why can't he be a four and a half win player and a good defender?
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of me left on the bone with Joe Adele couldn't agree more.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will wear the L like Kevin and the Queen Jellyfish SpongeBob episode.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll blow the loser whistle.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kyle Schwabber's a top-on-hunter player in baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: That guy's a freak.
[SPEAKER_02]: He does one thing really well and he's maybe the best on the planet of doing it.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm also ready to stamp.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know he's within the division so it hurts.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Bryce Harper is my twenty-seventh favorite player in baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: the top twenty six or every single guy on the marlin's active roster.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So my favorite non-marlin is Bryce Harper.
[SPEAKER_02]: That guy is cold in the best way.
[UNKNOWN]: Oh, God, he's got.
[SPEAKER_01]: See that homer that he hit when he went like six balls above the zone and just somehow got on top of it and just rifled that line or I think it was game one or maybe it was game one.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was Friday and Saturday.
[SPEAKER_01]: You sent a moon shot in the seats and right center.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, I mean, he's the man.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the man, and Nebraska has to be watching this and be like, this is great, but Harper's not going to be this elite for that much longer.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wheeler, we got a year and a half, two years with him.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sixty eight years old.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got two more years left on the contract, then I'm seventy.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want the Phillies to go all in.
[SPEAKER_01]: All in.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Bucks and said,
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't trade for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Call.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
[SPEAKER_01]: See what it will take.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe even overpay a little bit.
[SPEAKER_01]: This Phyllis team has what it takes to go win the world series.
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're not going to win the world series unless Dave Dubroski goes all in.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the window is closing.
[SPEAKER_01]: But right now the window is wide open.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're blowing the doors off the window.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, go do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dubroski though.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to be on the phone.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Dodgers are shaking in their shoes right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Philadelphia is doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_01]: You could make well now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Philly's our better than the cubs in the birds right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the cubs and birds are shaking in their shoes right now with what Philadelphia is doing.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you put them in a postseason series, dude.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I agree about that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just saying right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of those teams are locked in on each other.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they're thinking about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, they're not thinking about Philly right now, but you tell me that Philly matches up with one of those teams in the DS.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going game.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got Wheeler going game one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sanchez going game two, Ranger going game three.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll take on anybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, and Lazardo game four.
[SPEAKER_01]: Come on, man.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll take it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we got Bryce Harper and Schwarver and we got a ton of bobs.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they could do some serious damage, but unfortunately, I also miss this alch bone just hit the IL.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she knows what I was.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, double backs are biased.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Orioles versus raise is my next series up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game one, raise when eleven to one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Boat Race, all the race needed to win this game was Junior Caminaros, three run home run on the first inning.
[SPEAKER_01]: As Taj Bradley was just dicing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings, three hits, no earned one walk, six punches.
[SPEAKER_01]: Danny Jansen, Homer, Johnny Diaz had a grand slam and Junior added another one.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's twenty-fifth of the season.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a pretty good ball player.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's no Wagner, but he's, you know, he's decent.
[SPEAKER_01]: Got it, so wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Charlie Ward did have a fun time at Tampa.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like seven earned over five plus innings, game two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Raised when four to three, Oriles got out to a two-o lead and Dean Kramer dominated over seven innings, but an eighth inning come back by the raise, gave Tampa another win.
[SPEAKER_01]: Chandler Simpson started the eighth with an RBI single, and then a Ronda grounded it to first, and a herm bounced the throw home, allowing two to score, and that was all they needed, because Zach Frick and let's tell.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just downright solid.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just a lunch pal guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings, two earned three case.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not punching guys out, just getting out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just getting out, you're right down to three, five, three, move to game three, or you'll spend five to three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jackson Holiday opened the game with his thirteenth home run of the year.
[SPEAKER_01]: So before I continue, I sent this again in the discord.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, when I watched Jackson Holiday, that's an eight, fifty OPS guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I look at the stats and says seven, fifteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like,
[SPEAKER_01]: What?
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I just catch Jackson Holiday and all of his good days.
[SPEAKER_02]: He, so what I will tell you after just seeing him in person for the first time right before the All Star Break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Watching him up close, take batting practice.
[SPEAKER_02]: Number one, there are some big boys on that team.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kobe Mayo is huge.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't know, he's a huge human being.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gunner is bigger than you would expect and it looks like Gunner is a big guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jackson Holiday is a big kid.
[SPEAKER_02]: Arms are huge.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really impressed and I'm impressed by the way the Jackson Holiday commands is at bats.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is going to be the worst year of Jackson Holiday.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy is getting better and better.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is just scratching the surface of who he is at baseball player.
[SPEAKER_01]: You can tell he is freakish moments, but probably the reason he's got a seven, fifteen OPS is because the bad moments are bad.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm talking offensively at the plate, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: But he'll hit that home run and then
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, just not have a great follow-up to that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's keep talking about this game.
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, holiday started off the game with this thirteen-term run of the year, and then Alex Jackson followed it up with his first home run of the year.
[SPEAKER_01]: Were you expecting the Alex Jackson revenge game?
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Gunner drove in two on an RBI double, and that was all they needed.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the race battle back here, highlighted by another Danny Jansson home run, Brian O'Hurn answered with a home run of his own in the sixth, and this game was over.
[SPEAKER_01]: How about Trevor Rogers?
[SPEAKER_01]: just keeps on shoving.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings, two earned three k's.
[SPEAKER_01]: ERA is down to one seven four.
[SPEAKER_01]: He joins my king.
[SPEAKER_01]: John means in twenty twenty one as the only Oriole started to post a one seven five ERA or lower through their first seven starts since two thousand and eight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I know that's kind of an ESPN type stat like I love it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really is perfect.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the reason I wanted to bring it up has been so cool to watch him shove because you know, gets traded for a good package and obviously cow stowers is an all star he's
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, one of the best hitters in all of baseball games that baseball and WRC plus by the way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Connor Norby came over originally started off well.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's kind of subsided lately, but he's still a fine player.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Orioles fans were like, we could Trevor Rodgers pitching in the miners.
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he ever going to help?
[SPEAKER_01]: And now he's up and he looks like that rookie of the year or second in rookie of the year voting with the Miami Marlins when he first started.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this guy's a real pitcher.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Michael Ias, you know,
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a huge fan of him as a GM, but he's not an idiot.
[SPEAKER_01]: He saw a guy that he believes in, and it's got to feel good for him to feel like he's getting proven right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've heard enough good things about Mike Elias, the executive, to know that he's not an idiot.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's definitely not an idiot.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what he's doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's good at what he does.
[SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, I don't know who's setting the constraints, but it feels like they were working through constraints this all season, a hundred percent, which they shouldn't be.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, but also like just the handling of, even a Mayo, like a handling of a Kobe Mayo right now is confusing the crap out of me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really understand, but SIO, I don't really understand.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then again, we ran into this with Stowers and Norby and Kirstead and Chase McDermott.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the list goes on, Joey Ortiz, D.L.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hall.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like this soft launch into this major league career.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then all of a sudden, if they're not a nine hundred OPS guy, they just don't really stick.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: One last thing on the race, their rotation is just, I mean, every day, every day, every day, someone's coming out and throwing well.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not the biggest names.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know Ryan Pepeo struggled in that game three, but he's still got an ERA in the mid threes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shane Bos, not the greatest start, but he's been the worst of all of them, four, one, seventy, R.A.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jurasmuson with the Joe Boyle piggyback.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Taj Bradley, we know what he can be when he's on, like he was against the Orioles.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Zach let's tell us just as solid as they come.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not many rotations that are as deep as Tampa Bay, and we're just getting continued good news about Shane McClentahan, progressing in his rehab as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: This raise rotation.
[SPEAKER_01]: Watch out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say I thought I saw his rehab start in Durham.
[SPEAKER_02]: He didn't get out of the first inning.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't see that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll tell you right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shane McLean Ann, as I search, made a rehab start in Durham over the weekend and McLean Ann's line in that rehab start.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, got two outs, three hits, three runs, allowed two homers, walked one and cade one through twenty seven pitches, twelve for strikes.
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
[SPEAKER_02]: Hoping for a bounceback rehab start in the McLeod.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's on the Mac for the October push.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's on the mound.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's what he's on the Mac.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the biggest thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Who cares what a statlin looks like.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be totally fine.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's his first start back after not pitching for a really, really long time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Before we get to my final five series.
[SPEAKER_01]: A quick reminder, if you are enjoying the just baseball show, the best way to support the just baseball show without spending a dime, rate and review on Spotify and Apple podcast.
[SPEAKER_01]: Five stars.
[SPEAKER_01]: as well as subscribing, liking and commenting on YouTube.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you do want to spend a couple of shackles, go get yourself some just paid soul merch.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm rocking the athletic team, Jacks rocking nothing.
[SPEAKER_01]: These are just in care about the company.
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you want to join the best baseball group chat in the world, trade deadline season is right here.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're here, folks.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's only ten dollars a month.
[SPEAKER_01]: Less than a price of a sandwich to join the best baseball group chat in the world.
[SPEAKER_01]: And right now I'm stalling Jack left it again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now he's finally going to put on the just baseball hat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look at that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't hand some e-licks.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like my cowboy stupid head keep going.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was on your head for maybe four seconds.
[SPEAKER_02]: It made the YouTube.
[SPEAKER_01]: It made the YouTube.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ben make that one of the pictures on the thumbnail.
[SPEAKER_01]: But before we get to the five series again, our last break.
[SPEAKER_01]: Next series up, A's vs. Guardians game one, Guardians win eight to six, while the final score implies a close game, this one really wasn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was seven zero Guardians after four innings as Jonathan Rodriguez and David Fry both Homer and Brian Rokio, rocked to two run double.
[SPEAKER_01]: A's would start to claw back as Rucker and Langley are his Homer, and then both had extra base hits that drove and runs as did Andrew Har, but it wasn't enough.
[SPEAKER_01]: Slate Chaconie had a pre-�-n-y-n-hundreds statline in this one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Eight and a third, eight hits, six earned with two strikeouts, but most of the damage really came in the night fitting.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's not really fair, but I did think it was a funny statline.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game two, Ace win eight to two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Guardians two runs came first, as Jose Romeras homeworked for the nineteenth time this season.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, did he at his twentieth, I don't think he at his twentieth home run yet, but it would be his fifth consecutive season of twenty twenty at least once he does so.
[SPEAKER_01]: He is at nineteen.
[SPEAKER_01]: He is at nineteen from there.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was always.
[SPEAKER_01]: Langleirs Wilson and Kurtz all homework and both Kurtz and Langleirs also had RBI doubles.
[SPEAKER_01]: So moved to game three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Guardians went eight to two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Clevver got out to a hot start putting up five in the first four innings highlighted by multiple.
[SPEAKER_01]: David Fry, RBI hits on Hell Martinez, Homer down the seventh, and then drove in a run in the eighth, and Gavin freaking Williams.
[SPEAKER_01]: I did call you brain dead earlier in this podcast.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm going to glaze you because you were spot on with Gavin Williams before the season started.
[SPEAKER_01]: Seven innings only one earned on four hits, eleven punchouts.
[SPEAKER_01]: His era is down to three, five, four.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really impressive arm for the Guardians.
[SPEAKER_01]: Good.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they need one.
[SPEAKER_01]: of course great, but with Luis Ortiz on leave right now, you know, Slate Chaconia's been good, but I think it's a lot rather old-hoss.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think old-hoss is probably the better example.
[SPEAKER_01]: But even before that, even before that starts, Tony has been good.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just not a big enough sample to be like, oh, yeah, Chaconia's awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, we need to see a lot more.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gavin Williams, I've viewed as like the premier X factor for the Cleveland Guardians.
[SPEAKER_02]: Huge weekend from Rocchio, getting the WRC plus up to fifty four.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was big.
[SPEAKER_02]: Huge Jose Ramirez is the quietest four point one F or player that we have in Major League Baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's funny because I, I've almost gotten upset with the number of times I've heard that Jose Ramirez is the most underrated player of baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: But then I looked at his sixth and baseball in war and he's got nobody's talking about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, he just is.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just what he is.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the most underrated player in baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's top ten every year, but he's never top five.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're like.
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't get, he's not in conversations with the judges and the autonies of the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's always right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he's got the same war as Kyle Tucker.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, you will, there's nothing negative to say about Jose Rivera's true five tool player, just an all around game and is going to be headed straight for Cooper Stone.
[SPEAKER_01]: Once it's all seven done, it seems like he's tracking that way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything else on the series?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm good.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, quick update for all those on bed, MGM.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson co-leaders for American League rookie of the year.
[SPEAKER_01]: They've taken a decent lead over Cam Smith and then Roman Anthony is a distant fourth right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the A's have the two front runners, Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson.
[SPEAKER_01]: So they would get, I don't think they would get a pick for either of them.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how that works.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they would get a pick because Kurtz all pull up his debut.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really don't think they would because Wilson was up last year.
[SPEAKER_02]: He debuted on April, twenty-third.
[SPEAKER_02]: They might get a pick for Kurtz.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll see a PPI.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to check the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get back in like three months.
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll circle back.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's move over to Red Sox vs. Cubs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cubs win four to one in game one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sass, Zuki's three run home run on the first was all the cubs needed to seal the win.
[SPEAKER_01]: As Colin Rale, I'll just one run through five innings and then the bullpen shut it down.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sayos Suzuki.
[SPEAKER_01]: Talking about underrated players this year, should have been in all star.
[SPEAKER_01]: This guy just keeps mashing.
[SPEAKER_01]: How did they go in two for four or three RBIs?
[SPEAKER_01]: Game two comes when six is zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Show to Emanaga was masterful in this one, tossing seven shuddy, striking out five, only walking one.
[SPEAKER_01]: His ERA is down to two, four, zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Bush, another underrated bat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Kyle Tucker.
[SPEAKER_01]: properly rated is one of the best players in baseball, Homer did in the first, and then Shaw, PCA, and Ian Hap all Homer late, just domination from start to finish.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the Red Sox had the last laugh, winning six to one in game three.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Cubs only run came first on an Ian Hap RBI single, but then the Red Sox finally broke it open in the seventh, as Kate Horton dominated for five and two thirds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Will your Homer to take the lead, and then Bregman pinch hit in the eighth, rock to three run jack, and then will your Homer to
[SPEAKER_01]: his twentieth of the season.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, crochet, I thought this was a great start.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not because he was amazing, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings of one run ball with eight hits and five strikeouts.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not a good start for him these days.
[SPEAKER_01]: But he didn't have his best stuff and the cobs are so freaking elite and you're in rigley.
[SPEAKER_01]: To get out of damage like that, when the Empire was screwing him a little bit, I watched every out of that start.
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that was one of his more impressive outings.
[SPEAKER_01]: Feeling like he didn't have his best stuff, knowing you're on the road and riglly, knowing how good the cup's offences, knowing the Empire isn't giving you any breaks, and it was still six settings one run, shot a caracrochet.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a true ace right there.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have the answer now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not certainly back in three months.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jacob Wilson is eligible for the PPI in twenty five because he had service in twenty four.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kurt was called up to late.
[SPEAKER_02]: He did not accrue a hundred and seventy two days.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he was not eligible to get the as a pick in twenty twenty five.
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's your Wilson.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Wilson wins.
[SPEAKER_01]: They get a pick of Kurt's win.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wilson wins or finishes as the runner up.
[SPEAKER_02]: They get a pick.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kurt's wins or finishes as a runner up.
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets a full year and they don't get a pick interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they are.
[SPEAKER_01]: The A's are rooting for Jacob Wilson to win.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wilson to win it.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're rooting for Kim Smith to finish in second.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's they're probably rooting for that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, John Fisher, what is he actually rooting for?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, but based on the contractual language, you'd be rooting for Kim Smith to finish second.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it is a business at the end of the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, what do you got here?
[SPEAKER_02]: The Crochet's at Doc, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Doc.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of cheat codish.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's entering that level of cheat code for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are a few guys that are just stoppers in Major League Baseball right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: The twins are really bad for out of five days.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then Joe Ryan's on the mount.
[SPEAKER_02]: Joe Ryan's a stopper for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: The red socks are hot as hell.
[SPEAKER_02]: Say, somehow get hotter than the surface of the sun when Garrett crochet is on the mountain.
[SPEAKER_02]: If they were on a skid, crochet is going to stop that.
[SPEAKER_02]: So for me, the two hottest stoppers in baseball right now, outside of skines in school or Joe Ryan and Garrett crochet and Wheeler.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I understand what you're kind of saying about stopper like when you need a wind and the fillies have an exactly like needed a wind lately.
[SPEAKER_01]: That makes sense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what you're talking about?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, yeah, I mean, like Detroit's last six and a row.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're playing right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scoob will just went six and two thirds of one run ball with a Levin case.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I mean by stopper.
[SPEAKER_02]: Get a Levin case.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've crocheted a lead to league in case at a eleven to one.
[SPEAKER_02]: I really was hoping he was good.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're tracking.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mentioned it to Jeff Nelson on the broadcast today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scooble could be the first back to back unanimous.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry young award winners and the Pedro in the American lake and the only ones at the Pedro.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you got crochet on his tail.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll see.
[SPEAKER_02]: Scooble's kind of running his own race right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's unbelievable.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cubs.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we dropped the Brewers TikTok about how they can win the division.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, post it about how is tied on Twitter.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cubs fans almost don't know how to act.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not respecting the Brewers at all.
[SPEAKER_01]: They are at least on social media.
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, these are social media comments.
[SPEAKER_01]: But a lot of them are very disrespectful of the Brewers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cubs fans.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's bad karma.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't disrespect the brewers like this, calling it all luck that it's gonna run out soon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Spurs team is real.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now understand, you're playing great baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're worried about yourself.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right?
[SPEAKER_01]: All you could do is win every day, and you're basically doing that.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the verse never lose.
[SPEAKER_01]: It won ten straight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's talk about their series right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game one, verse one, two to zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Caleb Durbin provided the offense for the brew crew, driving home the first run on a double, and then homering in the seventh.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was all Quinn Priester needed.
[SPEAKER_01]: He tossed six shutout innings, only allowing three hits, striking out ten, lowering his ERA to three, three, three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk about a trade.
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk about Milwaukee, God, they're just so smart.
[SPEAKER_01]: Glaston was also fantastic, it's just Dodgers than score.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings, one earned six K's, his area is down to three, one zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, Tyler Glaston.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he's been back for a few starts now, but this really felt like, all right, I'm back.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game two, birds went eight to seven.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game started hot, both teams put up four runs a piece in the third inning.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the Burr started off, highlighted by a two run double by William Contreras.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then on the Dodgers side, Otani Homer, Teaskar drove in a run on a double.
[SPEAKER_01]: From there, Burr was never relinquished to lead.
[SPEAKER_01]: Highlighted by Homeruns from Isaac Collins and Joey Ortiz.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, Tommy Edmund did homework late for the Dodgers, but it just wasn't enough in game three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Burr's ain't supposed to win this game.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Los Angeles Dodgers at home.
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't sweep the Dodgers at home.
[SPEAKER_01]: But here comes Milwaukee.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dodgers broke the scoring open in the third.
[SPEAKER_01]: Highlighted by a show Aotani Oppo missile.
[SPEAKER_00]: You see that home run?
[SPEAKER_00]: Bajans?
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: What a pitch.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a good pitch from Contana.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's rifleed it out, got you impresses me every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: You didn't have a bad start those six innings for earned, but the bird's tied to right back up, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Dodgers got a lead, highlighted by Otani Oppo missile.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bird's tied to right back up, though, some suspect Dodgers defense in the top of the fourth.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then it's still a Louise.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it's still a Louise is on the Dodgers if you didn't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Give the lead back in the fifth his first home run of the year.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then the Burr's clawed back, aircost tied it, and then Isaac Collins drove in two on an RBI single, Dodgers rally late.
[SPEAKER_01]: Andrew Von drops the ball from Joey Ortiz, a nasty defensive play at six five.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm near your rebate.
[SPEAKER_01]: Close to the door.
[SPEAKER_01]: Burr's win, Burr's sweet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ten in a row.
[SPEAKER_01]: Cubs.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's tied up now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now again, I think the cups are amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're still my favorite watch and baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the cups.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're doing nothing wrong.
[SPEAKER_01]: All I'm saying is, as a man who has made mistakes with karma before, I'm telling you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't go on social media, shit talking them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't say the look's gonna run out.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a good look.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you the baseball gods are watching.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm telling you that from experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: I've learned my lesson.
[SPEAKER_01]: Actually, sometimes I still don't even learn my lesson, but I'm trying to tell you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't go to Twitter arguing with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gimprays, broers.
[SPEAKER_01]: You guys are doing amazing.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be amazing race.
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope one of us wins.
[SPEAKER_01]: Be cordial.
[SPEAKER_01]: from afar.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm rooting for Milwaukee.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know who to root for.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just rooting for a base.
[SPEAKER_01]: I cannot.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be such a good race.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so glad this is happening.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad it's happening to.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just love the grit that Pat Murphy has these guys playing with every day.
[SPEAKER_02]: And
[SPEAKER_02]: the prester renaissance is so good for my soul.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: This guy's in elite ground ball pitcher elite ground ball pitcher.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's up there with web and frumber.
[SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I'm not needing more time to prove it.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I know right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: The ground ball rate this year is up there with web and frumber.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let me check it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's above sixty.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let me let me just get an exact number for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: So Quinn Priester's Grumball right.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not six.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's fifty seven point three percent, but that's elite.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what frambuses.
[SPEAKER_02]: Among pictures with, let's go, seventy innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Among pictures with seventy innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jose, sorry, I don't know number one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Palante, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fromber, sixty, Sanchez, fifty, eight, prester, fifty, eight.
[SPEAKER_02]: Clay Holmes is fifty, five.
[SPEAKER_02]: Logan Web is fifty, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's right there with Fromber and Christopher Sanchez.
[SPEAKER_01]: If you were to explain the brewer's to someone who doesn't watch baseball and you had to use another sport to define them.
[SPEAKER_01]: What team would you go with?
[SPEAKER_01]: I have my answer, but I am actually curious.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are you want me to start with mine?
[SPEAKER_02]: Like is there a team in another?
[SPEAKER_01]: So they remind me, again, without the championships, the Tim Duncan spurs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it feels like just every single player from one to nine on the one and nine on the starting line up to the bench pieces, just like the spurs did.
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember the Boris D nowadays.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like everyone does their part.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's nobody super flashy.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they don't got a Tatis, they don't got an Otani, they don't got a judge, they don't have an Acunia, but every single person is above average.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're well coached, they play great defense, their bullpen is exceptional, they're making the right moves every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: They can mix and match in the lineup.
[SPEAKER_01]: They just, if you're not ready to play baseball, play the game of baseball, the birds are gonna beat you.
[SPEAKER_01]: And this is a wake-up call for the Dodgers now.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was listening to the, um, the post game, um, the Dodgers channel and Jerry Harrison Jr.
[SPEAKER_01]: Don Trollwells were talking about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they think it's good for the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is happening to them right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because to get the best out of the Dodgers, you can't just coast.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think the Dodgers, almost even come out of the break.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like, well, we're gonna win the division.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're fine with the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, these teams are really good.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can tell if you're not on your A game,
[SPEAKER_01]: The Brewers come into Dodger Stadium to Chavez ravine and kick your ass.
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is a wake-up call for the Dodgers and they face a twins team coming up.
[SPEAKER_01]: This twin steam just played a course.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're stinking up the joint right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: You got y'all mode over to SWR.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dodgers, you better boat race them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, shout out the twins.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I'm a twins believer, but Dodgers better boat race them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, have this be the wakeup call that Harrison Jr.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm talking about because I agree, but we really should just be applauding the birds more and more.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't know what else to say.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love them.
[SPEAKER_02]: So two comps that I have for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: One, I don't love, but I'm okay with one that I love.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I view them as the Luke Fickled Cincinnati Bearcats for a couple of years ago, where they were knocking on the door of the college football playoff and they got there.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Ritter was their quarterback, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Desmond Ritter NFL caliber quarterback playing it Cincinnati.
[SPEAKER_01]: Was that sauce Gardner?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, sauce Gardner were there.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have a sauce Gardner in front of you for all to defensively.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have a Ritter in Jackson, Chory, or in Yelch offensively.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the comp that I love is Gonzaga.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the Brewers are Gonzaga.
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't have the NIL budget of an ACC school or an SEC school or a big ten school, but at the end of the day, they kicked the WCCs as every year.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were a one seed every year and they were a threat to make it to the elite eight every year.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they always had one guy, subonus, Hatsimura.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes they were on the same team, Corey Kissberg, Jalen sucks, like they always had two guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for me, watching Chorio, Yelage, Freddie, all these guys cycle through with a really good tone set or at the top in Pat Murphy, they for me are baseball's Gonzaga.
[SPEAKER_01]: Gonzaga is a perfect comparison because Gonzaga and the birds have really won anything real.
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the birds.
[SPEAKER_01]: You hear me hype them up, but we got to go win a chip, birds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to go win a chip.
[SPEAKER_01]: Got to get out of the first round.
[SPEAKER_01]: This team can do it.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're dangerous.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so interested to see what they do with the deadline because they can trade big league pieces for big league pieces.
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't even need to reach another farm.
[SPEAKER_01]: because of how deep the rotation is.
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't really need out of the bullpen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's not a tunnel hole so you could say, well, short stop is a hole.
[SPEAKER_01]: Joey Ortiz is not great offensively, but he's getting better and he's still such a wizard over there.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he just plays Burr's baseball and I don't want to move off him.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm still a Joey Ortiz guy.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Durbin developing day over day.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's hitting three seventy two over his last thirty games or something like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know could use them the Yankees.
[SPEAKER_01]: They could use them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not that I don't mean the birds are trying to cover the Yankees.
[SPEAKER_01]: What I mean is he was obviously included in the Devon Williams trade.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right now the Yankees don't have a third piece.
[SPEAKER_01]: Perfect.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just watching him feel grub balls and hit this weekend at a moment.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to watch David Williams walk the tight rope every day.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's move on to the ashes as the Mariners.
[SPEAKER_01]: Great series, a battle.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game one, Mariners went six to one.
[SPEAKER_01]: This was all Mariners.
[SPEAKER_01]: As Castillo shut out the ashes over six and two-third of the Mariners supplied the bats, Randy Mitch Garver, Homer'd early, and then a rally in the eighth sealed it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Stinks for Brandon Walter, shoved.
[SPEAKER_01]: Six innings won, run ball with only three hits a lot, and seven punchies came to.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mariners went seven to six and eleven innings, one of the best games of the weekend.
[SPEAKER_01]: Both teams traded runs before the Mariners took a four one lead in the bottom of the third, highlighted by a Dom can zone, two run double.
[SPEAKER_01]: Astros kept battling, tying the game up in the sixth, courtesy of a Victor Carrotini RBI single, and then Christian Walker gave them the lead and an RBI single of his own.
[SPEAKER_01]: In the bottom of the eighth, Brian and Brayou sent one to the backstop, allowing Randy to scamper home, and we go to extras.
[SPEAKER_01]: Both teams trade runs in the tenth, and then Cole Young stepped up in the eleventh, ripped one down the line, Mariners,
[SPEAKER_01]: When Game Three, Asho's win, eleven to three.
[SPEAKER_01]: Look like a Mariners sweep early.
[SPEAKER_01]: They got out to a three elite after four innings, but then the pounding started.
[SPEAKER_01]: Tie it back up in the fifth, an encryption walker in Taylor, Trimell, Homer to the sixth, and then everyone just piled on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Carotini and Trimell both had three hits and three RBIs of peace, and Mauricio Dubon had a multi-hit day as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Brown versus Wu, Hunter Brown, Brian Wu, supposed to be a pitcher stool.
[SPEAKER_01]: Brown allowed three runs, or three runs in four innings, and Wu allowed five in six innings.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, coming to Seattle, Mariners need to make some noise.
[SPEAKER_01]: They do, winning two of three.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, Parades hit the I.L.
[SPEAKER_01]: hamstring injury, not great, but the Astros have had injuries before, and they just slot a new guy in.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was good to see the Astros really rebound here and really put a beat down on the Mariners.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you're not coming out of the break and he's swept by your division rival.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then at the same time, the Mariners, like, you had them.
[SPEAKER_01]: You had them, and you just let them go.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why the ashors truly are inevitable, because even when you feel like you have them, you don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why the ashors are incredible.
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Mariners are still a very good team, starting pitching looks better and better.
[SPEAKER_01]: Offense is showing up.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're clearly going to add at the deadline.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a really, it's going to be a race to the end.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think the ashors eventually come out on top, but the Mariners are not going to go away.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the Mariners not going away helps Keller all these MVP candidates see might I add?
[SPEAKER_02]: Hunter Brown, it took him ninety pitches to get through four innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a little weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe just Rusty.
[SPEAKER_02]: He threw what an ending in that all-star game.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a bad thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So make it a work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mariners are putting up good A-bees against the work.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were eakin it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Woo looked really good until he didn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: My question is about Brian and Brayu.
[SPEAKER_02]: Another one, two, three ending with two punchouts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think he's bored of being so good at pitching?
[SPEAKER_01]: Him and Abner, you're eBay are just the kings of the hold.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a bracelet or a bracelet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the guy, the hold.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we have done prints of Abner has the lead and holds.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm a hold to appreciate her.
[SPEAKER_01]: And how do you see the editor board here?
[SPEAKER_01]: We respect the leader boards.
[SPEAKER_01]: Go to Fangraphs, go to Standard, not advanced standards, that's on Fangraphs.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've got holds right there.
[SPEAKER_01]: Standard, Fangraphs.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's right next to like just runs aloud.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm unqualified pitchers.
[SPEAKER_02]: Nick Martinez, the only one with a hold at one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, minimum five innings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Abner, you're eBay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Twenty seven holds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Adam and Brian, a brave, twenty three holds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tyler Rangers, twenty holds.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what?
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a list of good relievers here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Something that about holds, guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: History, history, history, history.
[SPEAKER_01]: He got paid ten million dollars for holding games and deserved every penny.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have paid a more.
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, Abner, you're eBay.
[SPEAKER_01]: His fastball whistles.
[SPEAKER_01]: got that.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a viper.
[SPEAKER_01]: Brand of braise got the same thing as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, Brian Abray has just been one of the better relievers in baseball for a while now and he just isn't slowing down anytime soon.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what's made again.
[SPEAKER_01]: Another reason why the ashes have been so good with that bullpen has been a little bit suspect and prior years right yet, pressly going down.
[SPEAKER_01]: You had hate or looking in consistent and Brian Abray didn't have the greatest season last year, but now they're both right back to it and they've, you know,
[SPEAKER_01]: thrown in a bunch of other guys who have also been great.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean the ashes are just lethal.
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course they are.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the ashes.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're inevitable.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, final series, Rangers vs. Twins.
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, apologies.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're now able to recap Senate and I'd baseball, but I'm sure I'll pull up the, we'll do some box score reading.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game one, Rangers went two to zero.
[SPEAKER_01]: Olson and Corbin, results in Patrick Corbin, dual for five.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about six endings before the bullpen's came in, but finally, Tommy Cainley was the one to crack in the Tigers' pen.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Cory Seeker took advantage, driving in two on a double.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Game two, Ranger's one, four, one.
[SPEAKER_01]: Roddy Tolet is crushed his first home run as a Ranger, a three-run shot.
[SPEAKER_01]: He went hack it on three, oh, and got his.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was all they needed.
[SPEAKER_01]: As Kumar Rocker was fantastic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Jack, we love this.
[SPEAKER_01]: We love Kumar being back.
[SPEAKER_01]: Going into the seventh inning, we're only allowing one hit and striking out five.
[SPEAKER_01]: The lone Tigers run came on a Riley Green home run.
[SPEAKER_01]: His twenty-fifth of the season.
[SPEAKER_01]: Another underrated hitter around baseball.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know he was in all start deserved to be in all start, obviously.
[SPEAKER_01]: but he has been phenomenal.
[SPEAKER_00]: But all I want to talk about is Kumar.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know the strikeouts weren't quite there yet and he's got to be more consistent for us to really, truly have a take away, but this was impressive against that tiger's offense.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was impressive.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't really have a take away just yet because I got to see him do it two, three more times.
[SPEAKER_01]: To be honest, we can't.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was about to get ahead of myself.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, he did it once.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he did it once before you even be hyperbolic.
[SPEAKER_01]: So do you at least let him see it do it twice?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'll give you the check.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I'll give you the check on Saturday night baseball here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh two one Detroit bottom of the eighth inning as it stands right now Detroit two runs on nine hits Texas are run on four hits.
[SPEAKER_02]: Getting Terry school will six and two thirds of one run ball.
[SPEAKER_02]: No walks eleven k's.
[SPEAKER_02]: ERA sits two one nine Jacob lats on the other side five innings of one run ball.
[SPEAKER_02]: How about lats the lefty.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh and then they turned it over to the bullpen Chris Martin did allow a run Chris Martin huge name in pop culture right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why?
[SPEAKER_02]: No idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: Chris Martin is also the name of the lead singer of the whole play come on man.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I don't I don't know anything about cold play.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do like really.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they're like one of the most famous bands.
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard that show at Gillette on Thursday was awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was really awesome, not for some though.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not for two, not for two.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anything on this series?
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I want to recap Kumar just because it's like what?
[SPEAKER_01]: Tigers are still awesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: They came out of the break slow.
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever, right, you drop two, should happens.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not fun to watch if you're a Tigers fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're fine, though.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're still the Tigers.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're still the best team in the American League right now.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then, Scoobal comes in and shuts the door and salvages the series for you guys.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now the game isn't over.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to jinx it or anything, but you got Scoobal on demand.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're probably going to win that game.
[SPEAKER_01]: One of those series is you just throw away.
[SPEAKER_01]: And for the Rangers like
[SPEAKER_01]: They've gotten good pitching performance this all year.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not surprised to see that continue.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I want to say, oh, or the Rangers back, like to play in really well again, say Tigers team, but the Tigers offense looked dead.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like the Rangers offense came to play either.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they scored in their wins.
[SPEAKER_01]: They scored six total runs.
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, I don't really have much on the Rangers either.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really want to talk about Kumar, but I don't want to get hyperbolic.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm just
[SPEAKER_01]: Right at the show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we can end this show.
[SPEAKER_02]: I will say, Clay Snowden with one of the tweets of the year.
[SPEAKER_02]: I promise I will never insinuate the McKinstery as do for regression again.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just been too good for some nerd with a keyboard to take anything away from him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to start calling myself a nerd with a keyboard more.
[SPEAKER_01]: We really are.
[SPEAKER_01]: And hopefully everybody enjoyed these two nerds on keyboards talking about baseball.
