WEBVTT

00:02.005 --> 00:03.767
[SPEAKER_00]: You listen to the Jaybird watching bycast.

00:03.887 --> 00:07.011
[SPEAKER_00]: The official podcast of jail.com and fancays.com.

00:07.332 --> 00:10.436
[SPEAKER_00]: We are the official ballroom chat for everything to run a blue days baseball.

00:10.896 --> 00:13.259
[SPEAKER_00]: From game highlights to rumors and all listeners in the tweet.

00:13.760 --> 00:17.044
[SPEAKER_00]: Here is your host, Craig Borden, with co-host Jason Lyons and Liz McWire.

00:17.785 --> 00:19.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Now let's talk, subtrotably days baseball.

00:23.342 --> 00:26.744
[SPEAKER_02]: Good evening, Blue James, and welcome to another initiative, J. Bird, watching.

00:26.784 --> 00:30.145
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm your host, Craig Gordon with me tonight, Jason Lyon's body.

00:30.185 --> 00:30.805
[SPEAKER_02]: How you doing?

00:31.646 --> 00:32.566
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, man, I'm not in a car.

00:32.706 --> 00:36.748
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not, uh, not mobile, not running around like a chicken with my head cut off, not yet.

00:36.788 --> 00:38.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, so yeah, good.

00:38.949 --> 00:41.510
[SPEAKER_01]: And it is, it is hot, hot hot here.

00:42.371 --> 00:44.852
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you get a good idea, you'd break out new old sweat.

00:44.892 --> 00:51.995
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, yeah, it's just nice to be inside with the fans and, and all that stuff rolling and, uh, yeah, good to be here.

00:53.198 --> 01:04.717
[SPEAKER_01]: good but so did you get to watch the all-star game or anything yeah I actually watched both pretty much most of both I tape the home render because it's I find it to be more entertaining than the the actual game

01:06.817 --> 01:08.858
[SPEAKER_01]: and the home run derby was awesome.

01:08.978 --> 01:11.079
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, come on.

01:11.119 --> 01:25.247
[SPEAKER_01]: If that's what we, I actually feel like they could take the home run derby, they could expand it into more things, like a distance throw from out field, like whatever it is, and maybe even scrap the game.

01:26.628 --> 01:31.813
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that in like in I think it's in Korea they do it's all skills.

01:31.873 --> 01:45.428
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no game like they have best buncher like you have to bond into like a little tiny circle and circle get smaller and obviously they have a home run derby and you know they have you know fastest pop time for catch like they have all of those things that make the game super cool.

01:45.788 --> 01:54.295
[SPEAKER_01]: and could really, you know, draw in a day's worth because, I mean, the home renderer was packed and then there was no one watching they all start game.

01:54.415 --> 01:58.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there was so many empty seats, it was ridiculous.

01:59.279 --> 02:02.561
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, it looked like it was almost like, wasn't real.

02:02.601 --> 02:04.503
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they had fake background setup or something.

02:04.523 --> 02:06.665
[SPEAKER_01]: But, I mean, the home renderer was always packed.

02:06.905 --> 02:10.468
[SPEAKER_01]: I've looked at going to all start games before and the HRD tickets are like,

02:11.048 --> 02:17.232
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, maybe a hundred dollars, you know, for decent seats where you might get a ball and that all star game tickets are like four hundred.

02:17.432 --> 02:23.155
[SPEAKER_01]: And it just doesn't make any financial sense for people to go watch all stars half answered.

02:25.107 --> 02:27.790
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's bizarre to me that they still do it.

02:27.810 --> 02:35.176
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that on the broadcast, they brought up the PGA and live golf should do their own skills competition.

02:35.217 --> 02:46.727
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that would be incredible to watch, like watching guys, you know, provoked golfers try and hit as close to the center of a fairway or, you know, close just to the pin from a hundred yards, one, fifty left.

02:46.967 --> 02:48.668
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be awesome to watch.

02:49.488 --> 02:54.631
[SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like the NHL all start game and the MLB all start game.

02:55.151 --> 02:56.551
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like they've run their course.

02:57.352 --> 03:01.114
[SPEAKER_01]: The Pro Bowl has some cache because they do it after the season.

03:02.534 --> 03:11.838
[SPEAKER_01]: So at least, you know, for fans of the Packers or whoever doesn't make it to the fine other to the Super Bowl, we've got an opportunity to still see your guy one more time.

03:13.661 --> 03:20.476
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but I just don't, I don't see, I don't understand the MLB or NHL or MBA all-star game for that matter.

03:20.496 --> 03:21.739
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a complete money grab.

03:25.370 --> 03:35.332
[SPEAKER_02]: Anthony from a Major League group last week, but obviously have a slight proposition to this whole conversation because he isn't having fan on the ball star game.

03:35.352 --> 03:37.173
[SPEAKER_02]: He goes, this is his sixth ball star game.

03:37.213 --> 03:45.455
[SPEAKER_02]: He's went to his, I think he likes the soaking in the Major League baseball culture part of it more and then he actually likes the other piece to it.

03:45.535 --> 03:48.015
[SPEAKER_02]: But now I wonder how he thinks that's a good part.

03:49.055 --> 03:51.716
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder how he thought Jazz Chasm did in the home run derby.

03:53.847 --> 03:54.968
[SPEAKER_01]: See, we can make fun of it now.

03:55.008 --> 03:55.529
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not here.

03:55.549 --> 03:55.629
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

03:57.671 --> 03:58.252
[SPEAKER_02]: There is that.

03:58.992 --> 04:03.597
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was a little bit rougher jazz and not forgotten.

04:03.617 --> 04:03.697
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

04:07.727 --> 04:10.808
[SPEAKER_02]: watching Jess swing in the whole run for me.

04:10.848 --> 04:12.048
[SPEAKER_02]: Somebody set me that up.

04:12.688 --> 04:17.330
[SPEAKER_02]: It was like the little kids swing up tea.

04:17.970 --> 04:20.971
[SPEAKER_01]: I found it funny or somebody put right beside it.

04:21.071 --> 04:29.473
[SPEAKER_01]: Have you seen what's the movie where the it's the cubs and that weird guy is the he's got the big sideburns and he's hitting and he's like

04:30.333 --> 04:31.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, working in the year.

04:31.995 --> 04:37.461
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the guy who played, working in the year was actually just here in Rochester at the hot in the car and shop I work at.

04:39.083 --> 04:47.812
[SPEAKER_01]: But they had them side by side when he hit that one and he's like, I think I blacked out like it's just so funny, like way too hilarious.

04:48.451 --> 04:50.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm still blessed.

04:51.113 --> 04:51.993
[SPEAKER_01]: Glad to be looking.

04:52.033 --> 04:54.875
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, starring that over and off for the American League.

04:55.215 --> 04:57.637
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're showing, you know, they're showing really well.

04:57.857 --> 05:04.902
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, it's nice when they get the, when they get the opportunity and they go because most guys don't know Kirk very well in the league.

05:05.082 --> 05:13.067
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think, but it was nice to see them highlight the players from Mexico, Mexico City in particular that we're in the, they all start game and

05:14.388 --> 05:19.954
[SPEAKER_01]: I just, I thought it was, that part of it's fine and I like all the stuff the day before I like the celebrity softball game.

05:19.994 --> 05:20.755
[SPEAKER_01]: I love all that stuff.

05:20.775 --> 05:30.567
[SPEAKER_01]: That stuff's great and, you know, that's part of soaking it in for sure, but that nineings of half-ass baseball is not, you know.

05:31.452 --> 05:35.859
[SPEAKER_01]: You're pulling guys after one batter just because there's four more pictures you haven't used yet.

05:36.299 --> 05:37.661
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't make any sense to me.

05:37.922 --> 05:42.228
[SPEAKER_01]: The kid went all the way there brought his family there all the way to throw what six pitches that come on.

05:45.421 --> 05:47.081
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was awesome.

05:47.201 --> 05:50.962
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if you saw the futures game or any of that stuff.

05:51.182 --> 05:52.682
[SPEAKER_02]: I did watch it.

05:53.302 --> 05:56.263
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I didn't watch it.

05:57.443 --> 06:12.906
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't watch it, but I did see, I did notice that was one of the things that was coming across a wire quite significantly, where some of the players that were in it, and just the fact, again, that it doesn't register, even though they're playing hard, they're trying to be seen.

06:12.966 --> 06:14.006
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a showcase game.

06:14.526 --> 06:21.309
[SPEAKER_01]: It still does resonate with people as heavily as it it's shown or as heavily as they probably want it to so

06:22.712 --> 06:30.455
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know, it's, you things change and you got to wonder where these things can get to, but I would much rather see a giant skills competition.

06:30.775 --> 06:38.698
[SPEAKER_01]: Even a two-day skills competition, like I loved it when the NHL went to where's the Vegas and they were doing like the trick shots, you know, into the fountain, all that stuff.

06:39.058 --> 06:39.579
[SPEAKER_01]: It's awesome.

06:39.639 --> 06:48.062
[SPEAKER_01]: It shows the guys personalities, you know, like, it's, I just think it's better, it's better for the game doing that stuff than it is.

06:48.742 --> 06:54.709
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and then when Swara gets hit in the hand and you're like, oh God, he's he's gonna break his hand in the ulcer game like

06:55.503 --> 07:01.388
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just not, you know, it seems unnecessary, because it's, you know, it's the same as hockey.

07:01.769 --> 07:11.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Basketball is a little different, I guess you could twist an ankle if you're going half-ass, but, I mean, if you get hit in the face with a puck, you get hit in the face with a ball, you get hit in the face with a ball.

07:11.738 --> 07:17.303
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you can end your, you know, season by one thing going wrong.

07:17.463 --> 07:21.066
[SPEAKER_01]: Somebody trying to overperform or do certain soup it or something like that.

07:22.147 --> 07:25.069
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I don't I don't think it's I think it's God.

07:25.169 --> 07:45.840
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's it's past its prime if if if if that is a soul Come on man friends saying we're gonna have a all-star game in Toronto soon come on I Don't believe that when I see it Yes needs to happen.

07:46.501 --> 07:46.701
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

07:47.657 --> 07:48.578
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right after the strike.

07:49.239 --> 07:49.980
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for sure.

07:50.000 --> 07:55.927
[SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of pissed everybody off to the point where, well, you take a salary cap away and our put a salary cap on it.

07:55.988 --> 07:59.652
[SPEAKER_02]: And all that's through you know that's just the next thing on the cake.

07:59.712 --> 07:59.872
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

08:00.762 --> 08:08.627
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's talk some blue days baseball because wow, the season Jason has been a hell of a ride.

08:09.127 --> 08:17.612
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I wanted to kind of do our midseason review here because I cannot say it much better than the way I titled this show because it went from flop to top.

08:19.813 --> 08:29.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I would hate to go back six months ago and listen to some of the trash that you and Liz were spewing about how bad they were, even three months ago.

08:31.216 --> 08:34.116
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that that's part of the roller coaster ride of fandom.

08:34.136 --> 08:38.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's what separates us from all of the podcasts.

08:38.077 --> 08:48.660
[SPEAKER_01]: And thanks to everybody who does watch this as genuinely as being just a couple of sports fans talking about a team that they love, rather than produced BS.

08:49.900 --> 08:56.247
[SPEAKER_01]: That being said, you know, I feel like all of the things that we sort of talked about came into place.

08:56.267 --> 08:58.409
[SPEAKER_01]: They just didn't come from the places we were expecting.

08:58.470 --> 09:09.542
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, you know, I think we all anticipated Santander being, you know, a white knight hitting balls out of Rogers place, just like they were candy and, you know, that's turned into barger.

09:10.843 --> 09:19.430
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and there's been a lot of guys really change their games and step up and like, or any comment is, or any comment is all lead right now.

09:19.470 --> 09:26.155
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I mean, the guy is out-rate, Boba Shet is possibly better than September, Boba Shet from two years ago.

09:26.195 --> 09:28.918
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he is so reliable at this point.

09:29.918 --> 09:37.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever he's, you know, whatever he's doing right now to slow the game down, I wish he would bottle it and tell it to anybody who would listen.

09:38.305 --> 09:41.688
[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys watch him, his field movement is much slower.

09:42.108 --> 09:43.690
[SPEAKER_01]: His throwing arm is much slower.

09:43.710 --> 09:44.831
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a strong gun.

09:44.871 --> 09:47.073
[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't have to, he doesn't have to try it over throw.

09:47.133 --> 09:48.254
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's the same with his swing.

09:48.654 --> 09:52.437
[SPEAKER_01]: His swing is a little slower, a little more controlled.

09:53.315 --> 09:59.199
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate to give credit for credit is due, but I feel like George Springer may have had some sort of impact on that.

09:59.440 --> 10:02.902
[SPEAKER_01]: Because if you look at the two of their swings, they are very similar.

10:03.162 --> 10:11.789
[SPEAKER_01]: Where barger swings like Gladys dad and Gladys for that matter, you've got Bowen and Oldman River on the other side who have

10:12.189 --> 10:22.237
[SPEAKER_01]: have changed their swing to much more acceleration from the back block ten point through the ball and the little bit looser wrist action through the ball.

10:22.678 --> 10:28.462
[SPEAKER_01]: And obviously, you know, the newer the newer bats are allowing the ball to fly a little bit better.

10:28.503 --> 10:29.223
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like to me.

10:29.303 --> 10:38.130
[SPEAKER_01]: So that little wrist flick at the end can be the difference between a fly as jazz chism, a fly out to right or, you know, a home run.

10:39.311 --> 10:47.194
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, I feel like at every position the jays have been better than advertised and we still have guys in the tank.

10:47.274 --> 10:54.677
[SPEAKER_01]: The varshoes gonna come back from the all-star break that a hundred percent and he was unbelievable before he got hurt.

10:55.017 --> 10:58.499
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's crazy.

11:00.660 --> 11:01.580
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you're muted.

11:05.860 --> 11:08.923
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to get my microphones fixed.

11:08.983 --> 11:17.689
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm actually going to tuck out here and come back in really quick, but I'm going to let you run with that one with the bar show, Santander, and we all sorts of these guys coming back.

11:17.769 --> 11:20.190
[SPEAKER_02]: What the hell's this outfit going to look like Jason?

11:20.230 --> 11:23.433
[SPEAKER_02]: Because it's going to be way too populated at this point.

11:24.233 --> 11:39.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing to remember is that, you know, unfortunately for Klaus A and for, you know, for that group, it is going to make it hard for the milestones and the Klaus A's to exist out there.

11:39.279 --> 11:40.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, barger has to play.

11:41.600 --> 11:46.542
[SPEAKER_01]: Whether you put him at third or you put him in right field, the guy has got to play.

11:46.582 --> 11:48.702
[SPEAKER_01]: He's hitting the ball way too well.

11:50.183 --> 11:52.165
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, just just incredible.

11:52.605 --> 11:56.828
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, then the next, who's next?

11:58.335 --> 12:06.159
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, I feel like certainly myel straw has earned his, his, you know, his strikes to potentially be kept in there.

12:06.239 --> 12:09.080
[SPEAKER_01]: Ham and class air very similar players.

12:09.140 --> 12:11.481
[SPEAKER_01]: They have, you know, tons of speed.

12:12.602 --> 12:15.363
[SPEAKER_01]: They seem to be seeing the ball real well right now.

12:16.504 --> 12:22.327
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's, you know, it's one of those things where it's, it might be the flavor of the day gets to play.

12:22.707 --> 12:23.247
[SPEAKER_01]: And, um,

12:23.907 --> 12:46.054
[SPEAKER_01]: if guys step up and you know really do well then awesome they'll stay for a bit but if Santander like I mean they were talking about Santander being hurt all the way through spring training and that was why his lack of production was there I mean if he comes back as the Santander we expected and you then look at like I mean if you look at Varsho

12:47.658 --> 12:51.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Santander and Addison Barger as your three outfielders.

12:51.840 --> 12:54.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, what how do you go wrong there?

12:54.101 --> 13:01.104
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't and then like you put you put barger at three and and you and springer isn't the H and he's in the field.

13:01.184 --> 13:04.326
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm now I will say this springer's defense is not good right now.

13:05.066 --> 13:06.667
[SPEAKER_01]: He is not getting good jumps.

13:07.427 --> 13:09.468
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like he's relying on the bat which

13:10.560 --> 13:11.080
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, fine.

13:11.261 --> 13:13.562
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, keep hitting it the way you're hitting it.

13:13.582 --> 13:15.204
[SPEAKER_01]: And what's the difference?

13:15.244 --> 13:19.487
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's probably loving the fact that he doesn't only have to go to the outfield every fifth game.

13:20.568 --> 13:25.792
[SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like it's tough for Miles Straff, for Class A, for Loper Fido.

13:26.213 --> 13:28.415
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be Loper Fido was probably going down anyways, though.

13:28.455 --> 13:29.596
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been quite good as well.

13:30.456 --> 13:35.861
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems like anybody we plug and play from Buffalo right now is fitting in well.

13:36.041 --> 13:39.003
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, Jesus, this sounds like us from two years ago.

13:42.003 --> 13:44.865
[SPEAKER_01]: When everyone was coming up, the Buffalo club was running wild.

13:45.106 --> 13:48.008
[SPEAKER_01]: And we thought the jays were going to go on a long run.

13:48.108 --> 13:52.091
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I mean, this certainly wasn't happening at this point in the year.

13:52.131 --> 13:55.294
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if you document us, talk to you about this, it's been quite a while.

13:57.175 --> 13:58.717
[SPEAKER_01]: In June and July, we were like,

13:59.417 --> 14:15.463
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, like not fireworks and excited, but, you know, that being said, if they can keep up even even a five hundred pace, I feel like at this point, they'll be in really good stead in a wild card position or even, you know, a zonal position.

14:15.483 --> 14:21.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like it's there's to, it's their playoffs to work themselves out of right now.

14:22.386 --> 14:25.787
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyone who was worried about those two games losing to Oakland, I mean,

14:26.507 --> 14:27.948
[SPEAKER_01]: Those are just two weird games.

14:28.068 --> 14:35.714
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you watched them or not, there's a lot of weird stuff went on weird home runs and we just weirdness and they're playing in satchins.

14:36.274 --> 14:39.897
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, you don't know what I'm talking about.

14:40.117 --> 14:44.040
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you don't even have a review camera to see if it did go around the post like come on.

14:44.080 --> 14:45.962
[SPEAKER_02]: How hokey down the line apparently.

14:46.402 --> 14:47.583
[SPEAKER_02]: It's freaking insulting in it.

14:47.983 --> 14:48.643
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say this.

14:48.723 --> 14:53.705
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't have a super cool camera that was up above the one that was up above.

14:53.725 --> 14:55.725
[SPEAKER_01]: That was really neat that zip line camera.

14:55.745 --> 14:56.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.

14:56.226 --> 14:57.626
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I'll just get one that goes down the line.

14:59.507 --> 15:01.527
[SPEAKER_02]: And so we can at least see if we get a fair ball or not.

15:01.907 --> 15:02.067
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

15:02.087 --> 15:10.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I want to I wanted to focus on that because this that incident actually is the reason I'm very excited for this second half Jason.

15:11.690 --> 15:16.472
[SPEAKER_02]: And so Davis Schneier hits a home run over the foul pole or just in fair play.

15:16.512 --> 15:17.152
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like from

15:18.317 --> 15:22.319
[SPEAKER_02]: every player's aspect and we only see so much on TV and everything like that.

15:22.399 --> 15:26.640
[SPEAKER_02]: But everybody was like, oh, you're reviewing that and we're going to win it hands down.

15:26.700 --> 15:28.981
[SPEAKER_02]: There wasn't even like a question in the fact.

15:29.561 --> 15:41.506
[SPEAKER_02]: So then it comes back reviewed as the call on a field stands, meaning they didn't have enough to overturn it to your exact point, didn't have the camera angle, whatever it might be, this thing that thing doesn't matter.

15:42.708 --> 15:46.209
[SPEAKER_02]: John Schneider is livid at this point.

15:46.249 --> 15:48.429
[SPEAKER_02]: It goes a completely apeshite mockers.

15:48.809 --> 15:57.672
[SPEAKER_02]: There's players, there's managers, there's other umpires holding them to a way to get to the guy that should have made the damn call on the third baseline.

15:57.852 --> 15:58.992
[SPEAKER_02]: And they wouldn't even let him near it.

15:59.212 --> 16:05.053
[SPEAKER_02]: Usually that I just think it was hilarious that that umpires literally walking away from Schneider.

16:05.433 --> 16:10.635
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he's being ejected, he actually has to go buy him anyways because that's how it is in the money league ballpark.

16:10.815 --> 16:12.435
[SPEAKER_02]: He got exit stage left field.

16:13.396 --> 16:16.959
[SPEAKER_02]: to get out there.

16:17.700 --> 16:31.975
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like okay great you're losing a game that's the game before the all-star game that was easily phoned in and you could just rode into the all-star game and he's losing his shit because he knows that it's it's potentially a loss with that home run on the board

16:32.948 --> 16:35.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I got two things I really liked out of that.

16:35.770 --> 16:39.371
[SPEAKER_01]: And one, I mean, maybe John had booked his all certification early.

16:39.632 --> 16:42.713
[SPEAKER_01]: And yet his wife was like, do you know that we have to fly out of here at four?

16:42.773 --> 16:43.734
[SPEAKER_01]: And he was like, oh shit.

16:44.394 --> 16:45.775
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I can do it.

16:46.515 --> 16:50.878
[SPEAKER_01]: I got the one thing was I really liked the way that he he

16:51.638 --> 16:52.979
[SPEAKER_01]: He dealt with it on the field.

16:53.319 --> 16:57.163
[SPEAKER_01]: He directed everything right at that empire, even though other empires are trying to get in the way.

16:57.403 --> 17:04.488
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, that's the one thing is you have to be accountable and majorly baseball empires on whole are not accountable.

17:04.549 --> 17:08.972
[SPEAKER_01]: They they screw up and they don't that like you said, they turn and walk away.

17:09.032 --> 17:11.274
[SPEAKER_01]: It happens with us in in new fifteen.

17:11.334 --> 17:12.415
[SPEAKER_01]: It happens at you thirteen.

17:12.795 --> 17:14.557
[SPEAKER_01]: where people realize they've made a mistake.

17:14.897 --> 17:16.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and they're not willing to discuss it.

17:17.039 --> 17:21.983
[SPEAKER_01]: And I find that to be the most ridiculous, because once it calls me and it's done, I'm fine with that.

17:22.264 --> 17:26.067
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're not willing to discuss it after the fact say, hey, what did you see there?

17:26.788 --> 17:35.936
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the thing, major league baseball on Pyrus' team and NHL on Pyrr referees and all other reps, they're not held accountable to anything.

17:36.296 --> 17:59.992
[SPEAKER_01]: they screw up oh well they screwed up so it's for me it's it's I like Schneider going off my favorite though was him given the the double dooses to the Vivo Las Vegas did you see that as he's leaving he points at the Vegas thing like this and then out the door and I'm like oh that is glorious like a solid thinking about that well he was walking at the sign he's like oh this would be funny um

18:02.394 --> 18:03.175
[SPEAKER_01]: It was good.

18:03.195 --> 18:04.416
[SPEAKER_01]: I like to see the fire.

18:04.436 --> 18:10.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I like to see that he wasn't taking like you said the game before they all start game as a joke as a break as a whatever.

18:11.741 --> 18:12.982
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought they were weird games.

18:13.443 --> 18:14.944
[SPEAKER_01]: They were even weird to watch.

18:15.464 --> 18:16.625
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't have any flow.

18:16.665 --> 18:17.226
[SPEAKER_01]: There wasn't any.

18:17.366 --> 18:21.689
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, to your point, Schneider hits a home run on the next pitch, crushes it out of the ball.

18:21.709 --> 18:23.090
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the nail on the coffin.

18:23.771 --> 18:24.111
[SPEAKER_01]: Perfect.

18:24.131 --> 18:26.113
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's one of those things where you're like,

18:26.953 --> 18:30.594
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it didn't feel it felt almost like preseason baseball.

18:30.814 --> 18:31.775
[SPEAKER_01]: It was it was hopeful.

18:31.835 --> 18:38.157
[SPEAKER_01]: It was hokey to watch the people's you know standing in the outfield like, you know, it was just weird.

18:39.597 --> 18:50.721
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel for I feel for the guys that play on the A's, though, because they've actually got a pretty team right now and they're in front of six thousand people in Sacramento and they could care less if they are.

18:50.761 --> 18:53.722
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, I don't think we've gone into years anyway.

18:54.317 --> 19:01.460
[SPEAKER_01]: in game two, the chant, let's go, Vladie was louder than anything that I heard the entire game.

19:01.540 --> 19:04.561
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was like, I'm going, and then they're like, I don't ever have blue days fans.

19:04.621 --> 19:12.584
[SPEAKER_01]: And they paned through the crowd and was like, yeah, I guess, you know, if I was, if I was going to go to somewhere, Sacramento probably wouldn't be the worst place to go.

19:12.644 --> 19:13.505
[SPEAKER_01]: It's easy to get to.

19:13.585 --> 19:15.846
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, it's a fairly affordable trip.

19:16.306 --> 19:23.449
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I could see why blue days fans would go as somewhere different to see them in a place they probably won't ever see them again.

19:25.090 --> 19:26.352
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, weird series.

19:26.372 --> 19:27.953
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the series before was so good.

19:27.973 --> 19:30.676
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've been playing so well up to that.

19:30.696 --> 19:38.604
[SPEAKER_01]: The big thing for me, Craig, and I think that I'd love to get some feedback from you on this is that their ability to come back has been

19:39.325 --> 20:00.134
[SPEAKER_01]: gone for two years and this year they seem very accountable to the comeback they they you can see them talking to their pictures when they've let them down and they're like we're gonna go score some for you and then they go do they they there's no ifs answer but they just get in there and they they smash the ball around and they know that they're not done until the job is done and they're not stopping like last year I felt like a lot of times

20:00.494 --> 20:04.717
[SPEAKER_01]: They would get a one run lead or a two run lead and the pedal, they let off the pedal.

20:05.138 --> 20:10.882
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, it's pedal down until the fat lady sings, until the fireworks are going.

20:11.623 --> 20:27.235
[SPEAKER_01]: They're beaten up on teams and continuing to, and not upset with a two or three base, since I'm sure they're not liking leaving runs on base, but scoring runs and into the late part of the game, which is essential for our sorry August and September.

20:27.375 --> 20:29.497
[SPEAKER_01]: When you have to be able to score those runs, it's so important.

20:30.812 --> 20:39.508
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you're not wrong with that because I saw in the last couple weeks that there the blue days have like twenty two come from behind wins this year.

20:40.468 --> 20:41.188
[SPEAKER_02]: or something like that.

20:41.348 --> 20:49.272
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's been happening regularly and keeps it interesting, Jason, and I think that's exactly the tenacity that they've been missing over the last two years.

20:49.832 --> 20:56.195
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and not to keep, I mean, I feel like we're gonna keep doing this for the next month, but I mean, this is what they did in twenty fifteen.

20:56.215 --> 21:04.058
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is exactly how they were in twenty fifteen, you know, like they came back in one of what are they called in the cardiac kids or something like that.

21:04.078 --> 21:05.639
[SPEAKER_01]: There was never a game that was over.

21:05.679 --> 21:10.001
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I remember one, they were down on a laughing or something going into the eighth inning and still come back in one and you're like,

21:10.741 --> 21:18.368
[SPEAKER_01]: When you don't want them, you don't want to feel like they don't give a shit, but you do, because that's where you win the most baseball.

21:18.628 --> 21:25.974
[SPEAKER_01]: When you are having fun and you don't particularly care, you will win way more baseball games than when you're all type and you do care too much.

21:26.635 --> 21:39.961
[SPEAKER_01]: feel like the last two years, they've been tight and cared too much because of the pressure that's been applied by the fans, by the media, by everybody, you know, for them to be as good as, you know, paper says that they are, but other teams in the division

21:43.603 --> 21:45.764
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like the whole division right now is solid.

21:45.864 --> 21:47.345
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, where are you going to go?

21:47.525 --> 21:47.925
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not.

21:47.945 --> 21:53.488
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the Tampa, it's nice to see them cooling off a little bit red socks with one nine in a row in case anybody's not paying attention.

21:53.508 --> 21:54.969
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't hear to the the rail.

21:55.269 --> 21:58.090
[SPEAKER_01]: The Yankees have tumbled off a little bit, but I mean, they're the Yankees.

21:58.130 --> 22:01.512
[SPEAKER_01]: So definitely, you know, in a couple of weeks, smashing.

22:01.692 --> 22:04.113
[SPEAKER_02]: And we talked that out with Anthony last week.

22:04.554 --> 22:09.216
[SPEAKER_02]: We meet him very extensively in the fact that the Blue Jason, the Yankees are also not only going to be

22:10.043 --> 22:12.345
[SPEAKER_02]: attacking each other for the lead of the division.

22:12.385 --> 22:16.529
[SPEAKER_02]: They're also going to be attacking each other for all these guys that they're trying to trade for.

22:17.209 --> 22:18.070
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's kind of fee.

22:18.270 --> 22:18.931
[SPEAKER_02]: They're all.

22:19.271 --> 22:20.792
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have to address that.

22:21.133 --> 22:32.122
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to address the fact that the J's last month has changed the trajectory of trade options for the J's by, I mean, it's cataclysmic, the change.

22:32.362 --> 22:35.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a month and a half ago, no one wanted to come here.

22:35.745 --> 22:36.045
[SPEAKER_01]: Now,

22:37.516 --> 22:39.817
[SPEAKER_01]: If they're interested in me, I'm a pretty good player.

22:39.997 --> 22:41.558
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yeah, I want to go there.

22:41.598 --> 22:44.339
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a good chance of actually winning the world series this year.

22:44.600 --> 22:50.242
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like, you want to go somewhere where I'm going to get buried or I don't want want to go somewhere where they tend to play people.

22:50.342 --> 22:54.505
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that has John Schneider's one of his pluses is that he has played guys.

22:54.565 --> 22:56.065
[SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't sat them.

22:56.125 --> 22:59.827
[SPEAKER_01]: He hasn't made them sit there and watch game after game after game.

23:00.127 --> 23:01.188
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Schneider gets in.

23:02.029 --> 23:11.816
[SPEAKER_01]: back then Clement got in, you know, um, they played guys, and it's paying off now in spades with these guys being really good players, not ending up being bench players.

23:11.896 --> 23:17.160
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm hoping that next year it's the same for Low Perfito, and I hope that Nathan Loops gets his run next year.

23:17.200 --> 23:20.563
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm worried that he might be one of their trade pieces to be honest with you.

23:20.983 --> 23:22.625
[SPEAKER_01]: I really do feel like he might get traded.

23:22.665 --> 23:24.866
[SPEAKER_01]: He's, he's a good baseball player if people know it.

23:25.847 --> 23:31.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, there's a couple of teams who have need in the outfield and he does play the infield as well.

23:31.270 --> 23:34.091
[SPEAKER_01]: So, um, I mean, let's talk about that.

23:34.131 --> 23:37.252
[SPEAKER_01]: Who do you think are the trade chips right now?

23:37.492 --> 23:39.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Our trade chips are who are we going out?

23:39.153 --> 23:39.573
[SPEAKER_01]: Who do you think?

23:39.613 --> 23:41.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Who do you think so most likely from the chase to get traded?

23:43.515 --> 23:47.637
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're going to end up hedging their future a little bit, but it's going to be the right kind of future.

23:47.737 --> 23:54.740
[SPEAKER_02]: I unfortunately don't think that as much as I've loved his tools and what he can do, I think John and Klaus say is going to be gone in the midst of this whole thing.

23:55.185 --> 23:58.348
[SPEAKER_02]: There's too much depth in the outfield and then you got Santander coming back.

23:58.368 --> 24:02.431
[SPEAKER_02]: The guys they've been linked to are also outfielders.

24:03.292 --> 24:05.393
[SPEAKER_02]: You got barger that can play in the outfield.

24:05.453 --> 24:11.659
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's there's just all these things that have just coalesced in the blue jays, you know, outfield quarters.

24:11.759 --> 24:13.860
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they're going to have to trade some of that whole thing.

24:14.381 --> 24:18.104
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope the one that they don't let go of though is Joey Loper Fido because

24:19.245 --> 24:25.210
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometime in the next couple of years, you're not going to have George Springer even dial in everyone's in a while, right?

24:25.651 --> 24:34.538
[SPEAKER_02]: You're going to have to have somebody ready to take that air to the throne for the outfield with far show Springer eventually leave.

24:34.578 --> 24:39.983
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want to bury the covers too much, but if he's the difference between getting a Zach Allen or somebody back at this trade deadline.

24:42.153 --> 24:43.574
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's interesting.

24:43.594 --> 24:44.614
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it feels the spot.

24:45.094 --> 24:45.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I do too.

24:46.135 --> 24:49.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I feel like there's going to certainly and let's not kid ourselves.

24:49.056 --> 24:50.316
[SPEAKER_01]: There's going to be interesting Clement.

24:50.516 --> 24:52.957
[SPEAKER_01]: There's going to be interest in barger for sure.

24:53.337 --> 25:03.541
[SPEAKER_01]: And what if what if the exchanges so like I mean, we've seen in the last little while that some teams are really willing to mortgage.

25:04.261 --> 25:04.842
[SPEAKER_01]: for the now.

25:05.543 --> 25:16.298
[SPEAKER_01]: And it seemed like, I mean, obviously, they're not going to trade with New York, but a team like San Francisco who was, you know, just a shade behind the Dodgers and a little bit ahead of the other pay.

25:17.876 --> 25:20.779
[SPEAKER_01]: They might overpay and I mean, they have a very good system.

25:20.819 --> 25:22.180
[SPEAKER_01]: They have some of the best pitching.

25:22.901 --> 25:28.025
[SPEAKER_01]: It's certainly guys that are being underused because they can't use them and just don't have the spots.

25:29.146 --> 25:36.132
[SPEAKER_01]: They also have, you know, some very talented infielders and really interesting, you know, players like they

25:37.033 --> 25:41.174
[SPEAKER_01]: One of my sons, Carter, used to be a giant's fan.

25:41.194 --> 25:42.815
[SPEAKER_01]: He still is, I think.

25:42.915 --> 25:48.596
[SPEAKER_01]: But we used to wear black and orange, and I think that's what drove him to it.

25:48.896 --> 25:54.738
[SPEAKER_01]: But I've always stayed on their track, like watching what they're doing.

25:55.018 --> 25:59.399
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, they're preparing to go head to head with the Dodgers.

26:00.599 --> 26:07.420
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I've already heard some rumblings about San Francisco poking around with the Jays and who do the Jays play next.

26:08.641 --> 26:10.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Just so happens, they play this ever, just go Giants.

26:10.721 --> 26:15.342
[SPEAKER_01]: So the Jays aren't done enough to trade within their own division.

26:15.562 --> 26:18.603
[SPEAKER_01]: They're probably not done enough to trade within the American Lee event.

26:19.063 --> 26:22.063
[SPEAKER_01]: So that starts to really limit where you're looking.

26:22.384 --> 26:28.745
[SPEAKER_01]: So the rumors, you know, the sort of the teams that you hear are like Milwaukee, Cincinnati,

26:29.665 --> 26:32.706
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, San Francisco teams like that.

26:32.746 --> 26:37.788
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you know, the Diamondbacks and others are always going to be interested because you never know what they're going to do.

26:37.828 --> 26:42.390
[SPEAKER_01]: They could go on a twenty game winning streak or they could lose out the rest of the season.

26:42.410 --> 26:44.351
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Colorado has nothing to offer.

26:45.711 --> 26:48.233
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Atlanta is badly underperforming.

26:48.273 --> 26:50.994
[SPEAKER_01]: So I mean, Atlanta might be right for the picky for something like that.

26:52.240 --> 26:53.762
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Philly's not giving you anything good.

26:53.782 --> 26:56.585
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the Dodgers are giving you anything good.

26:57.166 --> 26:57.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

26:58.227 --> 26:58.748
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, those.

26:58.928 --> 27:06.878
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I think that's why I think Clement and those guys are not touchable because the team, my worry is, so let's say you did trade or any Clement.

27:08.593 --> 27:16.722
[SPEAKER_02]: Ernie Clement is key to the core of this dugout right now, and I think that would be a clubhouse problem regardless of who you got back.

27:17.383 --> 27:22.128
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're looking to trade it in field, you're trying to hope that somebody's dumb enough to take on or send me as off our hands.

27:23.581 --> 27:25.022
[SPEAKER_01]: Although he's been good lately too.

27:25.602 --> 27:26.923
[SPEAKER_02]: He has, but he keeps getting hurt.

27:28.284 --> 27:35.747
[SPEAKER_02]: So I, I really think that Barger and Clement and Merge's corner still is for this current team at least.

27:35.968 --> 27:38.989
[SPEAKER_02]: And I do think that there's something obviously there for going forward too.

27:40.390 --> 27:43.992
[SPEAKER_02]: But I just think that there's a culture shock if you end up trading those guys.

27:44.052 --> 27:47.814
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the guys that they're going to be trading are in a plethora of the bee players.

27:48.414 --> 27:51.256
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we were talking about the class days, Loprphitos,

27:51.896 --> 27:54.638
[SPEAKER_02]: The guys that are going to run out of a job if our show stays healthy.

27:54.738 --> 27:55.959
[SPEAKER_02]: Same tander comes back.

27:57.200 --> 27:59.022
[SPEAKER_02]: There is pitching prospects.

27:59.442 --> 28:01.283
[SPEAKER_02]: There is past trade is savage.

28:01.303 --> 28:06.467
[SPEAKER_02]: Cal Stephen could be actually a really big trade chip for the blue jays who has been phenomenal.

28:06.547 --> 28:08.649
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like trade is savage has been this year.

28:09.169 --> 28:12.212
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen it in the last few years that these high end first round draft picks.

28:12.252 --> 28:14.713
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe somebody takes Jojo already away from us.

28:14.773 --> 28:16.595
[SPEAKER_02]: Our first round pick from this last year.

28:17.135 --> 28:17.695
[SPEAKER_02]: It's happened.

28:18.135 --> 28:19.776
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not on the equation.

28:20.376 --> 28:31.979
[SPEAKER_02]: And if you're talking about win now, I would be more in the ballpark of doing that than getting the right thing back and win it because you got Argentimala that I would think is probably untouchable, but nobody is off the table.

28:31.999 --> 28:39.781
[SPEAKER_02]: If you get the perfect thing, same thing that I would say, yes, Savage is probably off the table, but you get the right offer and it helps this team win it.

28:40.342 --> 28:45.063
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you trade one of those two guys as the cornerstone for Joe Ryan for three years control?

28:45.593 --> 28:50.335
[SPEAKER_02]: Jason from the Twinkies, because Joe Ryan is apparently being shot by the twins.

28:50.895 --> 28:52.035
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, he's pretty good.

28:52.635 --> 28:55.636
[SPEAKER_02]: He has pretty, he's an all-star, you know, there's a little detail.

28:56.277 --> 29:06.200
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's, I think the interesting thing is there's, there's so many guys who don't, you don't perform the same once removed from the situation that they're in.

29:06.660 --> 29:35.313
[SPEAKER_01]: whether they feel unbelievably comfortable with their infield or their outfield or their catcher or you know what I mean like I'm always surprised the teams that are going for a big arm don't try and get the catcher as well like I mean it doesn't seem to make any sense to me like I mean when you look at catchers catcher pitcher tendums that have you know dominated it's that the catchers don't change like if if you know if a pitcher is dominant Paul schemes has a catcher and you know

29:35.790 --> 29:40.111
[SPEAKER_01]: for to take him out and try and, you know, get him, get him going with someone else.

29:40.151 --> 29:41.992
[SPEAKER_01]: You can even see it when the all-star games are on.

29:42.232 --> 29:43.352
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of mispitches.

29:43.372 --> 29:47.974
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of pitches that hit, you know, catchers heels and that they just don't get.

29:48.114 --> 29:49.074
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's part of it.

29:49.194 --> 29:52.515
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the other thing too is they don't know how these guys balls are gonna travel.

29:52.555 --> 29:54.575
[SPEAKER_01]: You can watch as much video as you want.

29:54.916 --> 30:01.057
[SPEAKER_01]: You're never gonna truly know what his cutter or splitter or whatever looks like until it's coming at you.

30:01.077 --> 30:02.558
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I feel like,

30:03.238 --> 30:20.347
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, pitching is such an interesting doc when you try it when you make big trades like that because you I don't know that you ever get the guy like I can't think of too many times where David Price was one where he came and was immediately just sort of the same guy, but he was sort of this anyways, right?

30:20.367 --> 30:21.228
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I mean he was very

30:22.368 --> 30:23.469
[SPEAKER_01]: like nothing really bugged them.

30:23.529 --> 30:27.973
[SPEAKER_02]: So some of that comes with the amount of fire in the locker room though, and we have that.

30:28.593 --> 30:29.154
[SPEAKER_01]: So we do now.

30:29.234 --> 30:29.414
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

30:29.834 --> 30:30.415
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

30:30.535 --> 30:39.783
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that that's the piece to that whole thing that somebody's going to come chomping at the bit and want to know how they can immediately contribute to that whole idea.

30:39.863 --> 30:49.471
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think that's where the win is on that one Jason, but I have to make a joke here because I just saw this and it's from our friend of the show because of where you just went for the

30:50.513 --> 30:52.035
[SPEAKER_02]: pitching stuff and everything like that.

30:52.896 --> 30:56.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Miss Kowski pitched in the all star game for the brewers yesterday.

30:57.000 --> 30:59.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's a flame throwy throws like about a hundred miles an hour.

30:59.864 --> 31:06.451
[SPEAKER_02]: But Jeff Fry is talent in talking to because the highlight was him throwing a ninety eight mile an hour slider.

31:06.671 --> 31:08.814
[SPEAKER_02]: And I was his saying was that is a cutter.

31:08.994 --> 31:09.214
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

31:09.935 --> 31:12.878
[SPEAKER_01]: They're all cutters if you call it a slider you're wrong.

31:12.918 --> 31:13.359
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a cutter.

31:13.399 --> 31:15.300
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a cut fast.

31:15.401 --> 31:16.361
[SPEAKER_01]: We go through it right now.

31:16.422 --> 31:17.583
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got some kids on our team.

31:17.703 --> 31:19.164
[SPEAKER_01]: One of them whose nickname is cutter.

31:19.565 --> 31:22.247
[SPEAKER_01]: So he claims his pitches a cutter.

31:22.387 --> 31:23.128
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not Josh.

31:23.168 --> 31:25.130
[SPEAKER_01]: I love you to death, but it's not a cutter buddy.

31:25.471 --> 31:26.572
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a slider.

31:27.693 --> 31:31.917
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's, you know, it's one of those things where where, you know, it's it's funny.

31:34.143 --> 31:59.023
[SPEAKER_01]: I find it so interesting you know like like the velocity that we're starting to see like that guy from the angels that's what he was one oh six was he not like at my wrong yeah that he threw one oh five and one oh six and one at one oh six and he averages one oh three but I just didn't want yeah I know um but it's gonna take us for can take uh Savarino and that trade in all that money that he's owed for being angry at the locker rooms and

31:59.622 --> 32:02.143
[SPEAKER_02]: Sacramentally signed a three-year deal and he's gonna be there for two of them.

32:02.964 --> 32:03.624
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.

32:03.744 --> 32:04.625
[SPEAKER_01]: There's some homework, bud.

32:06.266 --> 32:09.707
[SPEAKER_01]: I got to get I got to get rolling, but it would like to mention.

32:09.727 --> 32:12.209
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you know, the quick one.

32:12.229 --> 32:18.652
[SPEAKER_01]: The rest of the month here going up to the beginning of August is a bit of dog's breakfast.

32:20.033 --> 32:27.521
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you've got Yankees, you've got Tigers, you've got Royals, you've got all kinds of good hungry teams coming up here.

32:29.082 --> 32:30.664
[SPEAKER_01]: If you were to hypothetically, what are we at?

32:30.684 --> 32:31.845
[SPEAKER_01]: The fifth to sixteenth here.

32:31.885 --> 32:33.447
[SPEAKER_01]: So what tomorrow's the next game?

32:33.467 --> 32:35.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I mean Friday.

32:37.062 --> 32:37.422
[SPEAKER_01]: Friday.

32:37.442 --> 32:38.143
[SPEAKER_01]: So what would you think?

32:38.223 --> 32:44.951
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think would you be happy with five hundred or do you think they have to be over that to maintain the fact that they are?

32:44.971 --> 32:48.635
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they are the number one team in the American League right now.

32:48.895 --> 32:49.956
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to appreciate that.

32:50.216 --> 32:55.342
[SPEAKER_01]: So do you think winning record by two games would be, I mean, that would be massively successful.

32:55.382 --> 32:56.944
[SPEAKER_01]: But do you think that's the expectation?

32:58.060 --> 32:59.360
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's keep winning series.

32:59.640 --> 33:00.381
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what they've been doing.

33:00.401 --> 33:01.521
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what they've been doing well.

33:02.001 --> 33:12.444
[SPEAKER_02]: And I tire when in a series because they guess the four gamers coming up to the biggest thing that they need to do, and I'm just worried about where this will go if they don't.

33:13.164 --> 33:16.885
[SPEAKER_02]: The series of the Yankees comes right after the giants, as you mentioned.

33:17.265 --> 33:19.365
[SPEAKER_02]: They need to win that series.

33:20.146 --> 33:24.947
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm worried that this is going to come down to a tiebreaker, Jason, and if they don't hold that tiebreaker,

33:26.458 --> 33:27.818
[SPEAKER_02]: then we get to deal with more bullshit.

33:29.019 --> 33:29.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

33:29.819 --> 33:35.780
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think it's I do think it's super interesting to see I have you looked at the pitching matchups for the the San Fran games.

33:36.740 --> 33:38.840
[SPEAKER_02]: I just saw that Bassett's pitching Friday night.

33:39.821 --> 33:41.761
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, against Verland or which is awesome.

33:41.821 --> 33:42.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Like a shit.

33:42.521 --> 33:43.921
[SPEAKER_01]: It does not much better than that.

33:44.341 --> 33:44.582
[SPEAKER_01]: And then.

33:44.602 --> 33:46.502
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was max or showing access.

33:46.602 --> 33:47.122
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really.

33:48.242 --> 33:50.863
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, who's going up again tight against tight pants.

33:51.243 --> 33:51.723
[SPEAKER_01]: Robby Ray.

33:51.743 --> 33:51.803
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

33:53.143 --> 33:56.364
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the Rios versus Web, that's three really good games.

33:56.484 --> 34:02.647
[SPEAKER_01]: And then really fortunate for us is the Yankees are going to try to throw a, to throw a Strowman against Cosmen.

34:03.247 --> 34:06.629
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I mean, Strowman's bad.

34:07.029 --> 34:08.029
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's bad man.

34:08.089 --> 34:08.809
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not good.

34:09.310 --> 34:15.972
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if you can get to him early, if you can get to him early in that, see, I mean, it's, you know, it's anybody's games always.

34:16.072 --> 34:21.915
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, it's, if you can get to, to him early and then of course, you know,

34:23.336 --> 34:38.097
[SPEAKER_01]: It's it's it's I don't even recognize except for match fruit max freed and he hasn't been great either so I mean who knows their rotations decimated that's why they're going to be shopping heavily, but they don't I don't know how they're going to do the get there what they want you talk about it farm team

34:39.797 --> 34:41.398
[SPEAKER_02]: decimated, they're about as bad as us.

34:41.859 --> 34:42.559
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah.

34:42.579 --> 34:46.022
[SPEAKER_02]: And so, but to that point, Jason, I think you're a hundred percent right.

34:46.242 --> 34:48.244
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we get to have a fun one next week.

34:48.304 --> 34:51.066
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyways, regardless of that baseball back is back on Friday.

34:51.186 --> 34:52.807
[SPEAKER_02]: Travis Snyder's with us next week.

34:53.207 --> 34:54.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm excited to hear.

34:54.048 --> 35:07.459
[SPEAKER_01]: We're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're, we're

35:09.868 --> 35:18.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, why wrote that article that was about him and his stuff on all new website for us for jabberwatching.com and leave us a message on the site.

35:19.470 --> 35:20.670
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and yeah, check it out.

35:20.770 --> 35:22.051
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we have that's a big one.

35:22.091 --> 35:28.292
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to I want to get the video or not in the video, but the audio from all of you, if you have a good question, you'd rather not us do in the chat.

35:28.352 --> 35:30.832
[SPEAKER_02]: I will play the audio so we can all have a talk here.

35:31.513 --> 35:37.074
[SPEAKER_02]: So go over to the website, click that button and it'll record and you just do your do and we'll have it on the show.

35:38.294 --> 35:41.795
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, Travis Snyder, I messaged him and I said, hey, I wrote an article about

35:42.878 --> 36:11.131
[SPEAKER_02]: all the good shit you're doing and awesome with all the mental health and kids and youth athletes and everything and it goes oh my god it's been so long you know and he hasn't been on since he was goofing around with us in the preseason and talking about hitting the home run with a mustache which might still be a major league record we never found that one so I think it has to be a major league record so when I texted him he was all in and I'm here where are we having him on the show next week so it's too fun awesome awesome

36:12.342 --> 36:15.663
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was in my word, sir, before you.

36:15.843 --> 36:16.984
[SPEAKER_01]: We do in our picture.

36:17.004 --> 36:17.664
[SPEAKER_01]: We do them last week.

36:17.684 --> 36:18.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Or did we hold off?

36:18.965 --> 36:21.306
[SPEAKER_02]: I just kind of held off on them because it wasn't last.

36:21.546 --> 36:22.566
[SPEAKER_02]: Why no, I did them last week.

36:22.586 --> 36:23.186
[SPEAKER_02]: I took that back.

36:23.887 --> 36:24.947
[SPEAKER_02]: So short week.

36:26.308 --> 36:28.949
[SPEAKER_02]: We had, I'm just going to let you pick one from these names.

36:29.009 --> 36:31.890
[SPEAKER_02]: It was Beau, Ernie, Springer, and Schneider.

36:33.211 --> 36:34.691
[SPEAKER_02]: And that night, particular or there.

36:35.051 --> 36:37.872
[SPEAKER_02]: And I feel like, Ernie, who was the best?

36:37.933 --> 36:38.553
[SPEAKER_02]: I love on Trump.

36:38.573 --> 36:39.773
[SPEAKER_02]: Give it to Ernie, I think.

36:39.913 --> 36:40.854
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm going to see if I think so.

36:42.647 --> 36:42.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

36:42.807 --> 36:45.208
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you want me to go to the book or do you want me to just screw it?

36:45.268 --> 36:45.808
[SPEAKER_01]: Give it to Ernie.

36:46.988 --> 36:47.288
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

36:47.648 --> 36:48.788
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that gives it to you.

36:49.068 --> 36:50.449
[SPEAKER_02]: So you just took your fourth win.

36:51.629 --> 36:52.389
[SPEAKER_01]: Surprise.

36:52.409 --> 36:53.749
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.

36:53.789 --> 36:55.470
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm working to think of this as rigged at all.

36:58.070 --> 37:00.531
[SPEAKER_02]: So yep, Jason, you put your fourth win on the board.

37:00.551 --> 37:04.011
[SPEAKER_02]: This is two ahead of you with six.

37:04.111 --> 37:07.732
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm way behind with the guest spot both tied it to for last place.

37:08.932 --> 37:11.393
[SPEAKER_02]: So on that note, Mr. Victory, well, you got

37:14.010 --> 37:17.132
[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to take, uh, I'm going to stick old.

37:17.252 --> 37:18.372
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go springer again.

37:18.673 --> 37:20.934
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like he's going to come out of this revitalized.

37:20.974 --> 37:22.434
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to keep him in the DH spot.

37:22.494 --> 37:24.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they might even play him in the outfield.

37:24.715 --> 37:25.516
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah.

37:25.816 --> 37:29.978
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think I think you should pick, I think you should pick next and you should take Ladi.

37:32.859 --> 37:34.020
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, man.

37:34.900 --> 37:38.942
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm torn as guaranteed win week, but, um, Kirk he's been hot.

37:39.743 --> 37:39.943
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

37:42.340 --> 37:44.862
[SPEAKER_01]: And, oh, I mean, both the hottest hitter in the American League right now.

37:45.523 --> 37:46.624
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm taking gladies.

37:46.664 --> 37:48.545
[SPEAKER_02]: I have not taken glads since week five.

37:49.866 --> 37:51.367
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I mean, really nice.

37:51.507 --> 37:56.411
[SPEAKER_01]: We can be really nice and give Liz Bow and the guest spot, uh, Kirki.

37:57.332 --> 38:02.016
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like we might need to give the guest spot get somebody like that because we just been watching it decimated.

38:02.036 --> 38:05.679
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do that one with the, uh, so I'm gonna give it.

38:07.160 --> 38:08.541
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, go both for the guest.

38:09.322 --> 38:11.003
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Kirki for our Liz.

38:11.544 --> 38:11.844
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

38:14.045 --> 38:17.587
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, bye.

38:17.647 --> 38:20.268
[SPEAKER_01]: We got our last home game tonight, Eldon Park.

38:21.849 --> 38:30.593
[SPEAKER_01]: We are in a heated battle for potentially second place, which would be massive for us because it would put us on the different side of the pool.

38:31.574 --> 38:34.775
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going with our big guns tonight.

38:34.795 --> 38:37.577
[SPEAKER_01]: We got Josh and KL going tonight, so it'll be a fun way.

38:38.550 --> 38:38.810
[SPEAKER_02]: Nice.

38:39.612 --> 38:43.057
[SPEAKER_02]: So, on that note, I'd like to wish you the best of luck to kiddos and everything, obviously.

38:43.678 --> 38:48.985
[SPEAKER_02]: And we almost laughed at our own twins for Major League Baseball, too, with Joe Jones and that would be fun.

38:50.628 --> 38:52.891
[SPEAKER_02]: And did you see week drafted Sean Casey's kid?

38:53.572 --> 38:56.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I did actually, like, fifteen from.

38:56.513 --> 39:07.956
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I just so people out there, if you did happen to see it, there was a guy, a young man from Northman, his name is escaping me right now that the J.A.

39:08.136 --> 39:10.396
[SPEAKER_01]: was drafted by the Dodgers out of high school.

39:11.236 --> 39:14.737
[SPEAKER_01]: He is in grade eleven, I believe he might be in grade twelve.

39:14.837 --> 39:16.458
[SPEAKER_01]: It's lasting sort of an elbow coming.

39:16.578 --> 39:18.318
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to make me mad when I don't remember it.

39:18.378 --> 39:21.359
[SPEAKER_02]: Our body bob file will be happy to hear that from his travels and say.

39:22.559 --> 39:32.829
[SPEAKER_01]: Simon we're going to watch this kid on Thursday night and he throws ninety five plus and we're gonna get to watch it we're gonna watch it get to watch it from from five feet away.

39:32.949 --> 39:34.070
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be incredible.

39:34.130 --> 39:42.739
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's a Michigan commit and the Dodgers took him way late like like one of the latest picks you can take but good for him

39:43.347 --> 39:47.809
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I was glad to see that actually went to twenty rounds this year, as it's been capped off at fifteen the last few.

39:47.829 --> 39:52.571
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like the minor leagues I'm struggling to keep players in because of that kind of thing.

39:53.171 --> 39:54.311
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, there's what it is.

39:54.932 --> 39:56.492
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but yeah, that's it, Jason.

39:56.932 --> 40:04.715
[SPEAKER_02]: Quick week this week because of the All Star Break and everybody being so busy, but we will be back next week with lunchbox hero Travis Snire talk all things.

40:04.956 --> 40:08.357
[SPEAKER_02]: What a playoff race looks like because he's been on some teams that were very close.

40:08.877 --> 40:17.031
[SPEAKER_02]: a few times and we're gonna talk about what it feels like to be obviously, you know, in the mental parts of the credit race along with being around the trade deadline.

40:17.111 --> 40:18.334
[SPEAKER_02]: So here we are.

40:18.754 --> 40:21.158
[SPEAKER_02]: Go Blue Jays and we all have a great week.
