Pod 631 : Feeling Good
The Orioles have played 500 ball since our last episode and we are feeling good about this team. However, Matt hasn't talked to an adult in a while and has some non baseball items to deal with before we discuss the Baltimore Orioles and Josh's frustration with Craig Albernez

[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to section three, three, six.
00:39.160 --> 00:40.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Next generation of Baltimore Sports Talk.
00:41.221 --> 00:42.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your engineering host, Matt Sworkah.
00:43.242 --> 00:51.347
[SPEAKER_00]: As always, I'm joined by a guy who, in solidarity to the Oreos going on their road trip, has gone on a road trip himself, the button lever Josh Sworkah.
00:51.587 --> 01:02.293
[SPEAKER_03]: I am, I'm up in New Jersey for my weekly yearly trip to New Jersey and you're wearing that city connect hat that makes me jealous, because I got to get that one.
01:03.253 --> 01:05.416
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I got the T-shirt too now.
01:06.178 --> 01:08.161
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're what player?
01:08.181 --> 01:11.305
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there a player on the bottom of that?
01:11.626 --> 01:12.627
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the green shirt.
01:13.028 --> 01:13.248
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
01:13.709 --> 01:14.810
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I've got that in the other room.
01:14.871 --> 01:15.471
[SPEAKER_03]: Should I change?
01:15.491 --> 01:16.213
[SPEAKER_03]: So we match.
01:16.753 --> 01:17.715
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Father's Day gift.
01:18.228 --> 01:25.669
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice, I, I, I, I was having a conversation with someone yesterday about how the Orioles really did kill it with the city connects this year.
01:26.210 --> 01:26.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're great.
01:27.190 --> 01:32.171
[SPEAKER_03]: That there, as anyone, I know there's people that don't like it and people say, oh, the old ones were better, you're wrong.
01:32.871 --> 01:33.251
[SPEAKER_03]: They're wrong.
01:33.371 --> 01:44.953
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're a lifelong Orioles fan, if you've been a fan forever, this kills it, because the stadium, it represents the stadium so well, and that stadium means so much to Orioles fandom.
01:45.863 --> 01:55.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it seems to have a lot more meaning connection than the last Yes, yes But I'm already looking forward to city connect twenty twenty nine.
01:55.606 --> 01:56.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to have a story.
01:56.926 --> 01:58.066
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's every three years.
01:58.186 --> 02:04.308
[SPEAKER_03]: So I guess that would be twenty twenty nine Well, yeah, we'll have to see what it was.
02:04.528 --> 02:07.029
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, the Orioles are 38 and 42.
02:07.809 --> 02:09.249
[SPEAKER_03]: They've won three games in a row.
02:09.850 --> 02:11.010
[SPEAKER_03]: But my question for you is
02:13.265 --> 02:18.126
[SPEAKER_03]: Have they been above or below 500 since the last time we did our podcast?
02:19.407 --> 02:20.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they didn't.
02:20.407 --> 02:24.448
[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't been above since we talked last.
02:24.568 --> 02:28.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no, no, just in the games that has happened.
02:29.590 --> 02:30.410
[SPEAKER_00]: You're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:30.430 --> 02:31.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Just in that sample size.
02:31.550 --> 02:32.551
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that sample size.
02:32.811 --> 02:35.472
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe it's June six was our last podcast.
02:35.752 --> 02:37.172
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like they were June 23rd.
02:37.612 --> 02:38.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
02:38.553 --> 02:39.813
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think the record was?
02:40.958 --> 02:43.058
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably right around 500.
02:43.138 --> 02:50.680
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we were talking about theories of where they could get above 500 last time and so I would guess we were kind of right at 500 last time.
02:50.700 --> 03:05.042
[SPEAKER_03]: It's awesome I talked and you're right I've got the graphic right here when we last spoke they were 29 and 33 on June 4th yeah And now they're 38 and 42 exactly 500 for the past whatever two at three weeks.
03:05.623 --> 03:07.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's it's this season a nutshell
03:08.132 --> 03:15.156
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's also like, what's so irritating about waste in April, is doing so bad in April.
03:15.476 --> 03:19.839
[SPEAKER_03]: If you were above 500 and then you continue to play 500 ball, you're excited.
03:20.519 --> 03:24.942
[SPEAKER_03]: Instead you look at that 500 ball and you look at the stupid games we should have won.
03:26.122 --> 03:26.943
[SPEAKER_03]: That would have put us up.
03:27.772 --> 03:31.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, we got a lot to get to, we haven't talked in a while.
03:32.015 --> 03:38.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a whole list of topics that I've not done with baseball, but you want to talk or else, so we can talk or else.
03:38.220 --> 03:47.347
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this show doesn't exist without us going into other things, but we are two games out of the wild card because the American League sucks this year.
03:48.007 --> 03:48.728
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's okay.
03:49.168 --> 03:54.172
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like buckle up, we talked about this last time, but it's gonna be so fascinating because
03:54.732 --> 04:11.580
[SPEAKER_00]: There's us, I mean, just take that whole clump of the twins, the Rangers, the Blue Jays, the Red Sox, there's a whole clump of teams, the Tigers who need the White Sox, who need to decide in the next month and a half if they're going to board next month, really, if they're going to be buyers or sellers.
04:12.280 --> 04:18.764
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's gonna be fascinating to watch over the next month because the next month matters so much for all these franchises.
04:18.884 --> 04:22.366
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't actually say go, so I can't wait, it's gonna be exciting baseball next month.
04:22.386 --> 04:28.710
[SPEAKER_03]: The worst team in the American League is the Los Angeles Sanjules, and they are eight games out of the wild card.
04:29.312 --> 04:31.433
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and if they would five in a row, they're back in it.
04:31.693 --> 04:32.433
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly.
04:32.553 --> 04:34.834
[SPEAKER_00]: That team is like a five five game win streak being.
04:35.734 --> 04:43.277
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why I really don't know if any, I can't look and say anyone right now in the American League are sellers.
04:45.378 --> 04:47.779
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe the Rockies and the Giants on the National League.
04:48.879 --> 04:52.561
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but that then actually is so different because of the Dodgers.
04:53.201 --> 04:53.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we'll see.
04:54.021 --> 04:56.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet a month from now we'll have to see in conversation and they'll be
04:58.897 --> 05:02.260
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see, I hope so, as long as the Orioles are not on that cell list.
05:02.641 --> 05:04.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it should be good.
05:04.623 --> 05:18.237
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the problem is, Josh, my summer schedule, I don't know, you may be your schedule, less affected, because your kids are a little bit older, and you work from home, my summer schedule is just so out of whack.
05:18.777 --> 05:21.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm teaching some of classes, but Emily's working a lot.
05:21.538 --> 05:25.659
[SPEAKER_00]: I have very little interaction with other adults now, as well.
05:26.740 --> 05:28.981
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we have to do this podcast on a regular basis.
05:29.461 --> 05:30.861
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, I have the interactions with them.
05:30.881 --> 05:33.602
[SPEAKER_03]: I really want to, I really want to get this podcast back to weekly.
05:34.102 --> 05:34.343
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
05:34.563 --> 05:35.543
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been so crazy.
05:37.224 --> 05:43.726
[SPEAKER_03]: Summers weird and summer, here's a good, here's how I can explain my summer to you.
05:44.486 --> 05:46.687
[SPEAKER_03]: I left my house last Thursday.
05:47.730 --> 05:51.231
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, yeah, I don't return to my home until like July 6.
05:51.251 --> 05:53.072
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's crazy.
05:53.432 --> 06:11.438
[SPEAKER_03]: So I am, and, and because like you said with, as the kids get older, the schedules, you would think it easier, but they get more complicated, because now, I'm on this trip here by myself, because it's just so hard and complicated with summer schedules and kids.
06:12.148 --> 06:21.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no it is and I'm still teaching two classes but then Emily is working more so I have more responsibility with with the kiddos and then trying to squeeze that's actually
06:22.792 --> 06:39.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Summer is a lot more stressful because there's no routine kind of every day is a different adventure I still haven't figured out how to No, no, not yet my summer you're right because you get in that routine of drop the kids off at school kids come home at this time Now it's a hot you'd figure it out.
06:39.746 --> 06:42.207
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah summer is crazy and here we are
06:43.448 --> 06:45.289
[SPEAKER_03]: My I don't your kids got out.
06:45.329 --> 06:47.290
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the same time is made around Memorial Day.
06:47.530 --> 06:49.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they've been so I feel like for a year now.
06:49.571 --> 07:00.656
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so my kids are a month into Summer break and then I went and saw I went watch one of Albee's little league games or travel ball games whatever on Sunday.
07:00.796 --> 07:02.777
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh nice to stingers And the stingers.
07:02.797 --> 07:12.142
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so and they just handed school like Thursday So it's like they are just getting into the summer routine and I know summer's all screwed up already
07:12.651 --> 07:28.740

07:30.101 --> 07:30.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Get done already.
07:32.142 --> 07:32.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Summer is here.
07:33.823 --> 07:37.625
[SPEAKER_00]: It's wild how much later they stay down here in the south.
07:38.534 --> 08:02.957
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah it's it's definitely now it's they're gonna they don't go back until like September and we start the beginning of August so balance is out yeah but it does throw me off right now as I'm up in New Jersey with a bunch of people who just ended the school year like this past week yeah yeah when did you lock row of middle school camp one day Josh this is my 2050 year so I am I've been here long enough
08:03.776 --> 08:11.423
[SPEAKER_03]: that the kids who were here, my first year, have had their own kids who are now here this year.
08:13.364 --> 08:16.027
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think I will outgrow it at some point.
08:16.707 --> 08:17.908
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
08:17.928 --> 08:24.194
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, 25 years means, I'm waiting for them to fire me and they're waiting for me to quit and it's like a staring contest.
08:24.640 --> 08:27.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, it's already it's dude dude.
08:28.003 --> 08:29.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they even tell you about it anymore?
08:29.644 --> 08:30.304
[SPEAKER_00]: You just show up.
08:30.725 --> 08:34.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you properly invited or you just kind of arrive and it's gonna be there?
08:35.649 --> 08:36.809
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not much of an invite.
08:36.830 --> 08:39.151
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like it's one day.
08:39.191 --> 08:44.736
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna show up and they're not going to say anything to me And I'm just not going to get paid because I wasn't supposed to be here.
08:44.776 --> 08:46.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And there'll be another video I'll go for right next to you.
08:46.937 --> 08:47.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Shoot in the back.
08:47.558 --> 08:47.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
08:48.198 --> 08:48.759
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
08:49.259 --> 08:51.240
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's how it's going to end so far.
08:51.400 --> 08:51.781
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm here.
08:52.061 --> 08:53.181
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm told a checks in the mail.
08:53.482 --> 08:54.642
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'll keep coming.
08:55.122 --> 08:55.663
[SPEAKER_00]: It never ends.
08:55.903 --> 08:57.684
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, um, hey, I'd notice this too.
08:57.704 --> 08:58.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you noticed this?
08:58.604 --> 09:02.887
[SPEAKER_00]: I have this in my, I have some, I was thinking about this too, with no one to talk to.
09:03.287 --> 09:06.289
[SPEAKER_00]: My shampoo lasts an incredibly long amount of time.
09:06.649 --> 09:07.910
[SPEAKER_00]: I want this big shampoo.
09:07.970 --> 09:08.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
09:08.410 --> 09:10.171
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this thing has been in there for years.
09:10.231 --> 09:11.472
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I'm not using correctly.
09:11.672 --> 09:12.793
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I should have run out by now.
09:13.614 --> 09:16.315
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the three and one, you do the three and one, Josh.
09:16.796 --> 09:19.157
[SPEAKER_00]: It's your poo, conditioner, body wash.
09:19.717 --> 09:20.198
[SPEAKER_00]: The odor, right?
09:20.218 --> 09:20.818
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all in one.
09:21.098 --> 09:23.539
[SPEAKER_00]: It might be toothpaste too, I don't know.
09:24.060 --> 09:24.360
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
09:24.480 --> 09:25.800
[SPEAKER_03]: How often do you wash your hair?
09:26.641 --> 09:27.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, every day.
09:28.162 --> 09:29.422
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll see you're not supposed to do that.
09:29.582 --> 09:31.203
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not supposed to do that every day.
09:32.164 --> 09:32.364
[SPEAKER_03]: Really?
09:32.384 --> 09:32.824
[SPEAKER_03]: It feels your hair.
09:33.585 --> 09:36.246
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I actually use shampoo once a week.
09:36.989 --> 09:38.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my, that's, I think you're making that up.
09:39.011 --> 09:41.755
[SPEAKER_03]: He showed me that's what my barber told me.
09:41.995 --> 09:42.836
[SPEAKER_03]: Your barber, exactly.
09:42.856 --> 09:44.318
[SPEAKER_00]: You did lace from your hair?
09:44.918 --> 09:46.180
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like that's what you go to.
09:46.280 --> 09:46.841
[SPEAKER_03]: A doctor?
09:46.981 --> 09:47.742
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, doctor.
09:48.082 --> 09:49.364
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's my hair expert.
09:49.644 --> 09:52.027
[SPEAKER_00]: No, this is the hair and extension of your body.
09:52.447 --> 09:59.211
[SPEAKER_00]: If I have questions about maintaining the health of my body, I'm going to a doctor, I'm not going to a barber.
09:59.611 --> 10:06.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I get, do I get advice from your feet from your, I know you like to go to the, the foot manicure people.
10:06.995 --> 10:08.596
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you go there for foot advice?
10:08.956 --> 10:09.956
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, healthy feet.
10:10.397 --> 10:12.118
[SPEAKER_00]: If, if my, if my pet is.
10:12.478 --> 10:17.600
[SPEAKER_03]: If my petacurus would like to tell me something to do with my toenails, I will trust them because they see a lot of toenails.
10:18.701 --> 10:26.830
[SPEAKER_03]: But no, I trust this, have you, when you go to your doctor's appointment, when you go to your yearly checkup, do they ever inspect your hair?
10:27.550 --> 10:41.485
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I skipped my last yearly checkup, but since then, no, they never, they never, but my hair doesn't look at how, if my hair started looking healthy or something, I would probably ask, why is my hair wacky?
10:43.440 --> 10:44.141
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
10:44.401 --> 10:44.682
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
10:45.182 --> 10:47.385
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, my barber, I'm taking my barber's advice.
10:47.425 --> 10:48.387
[SPEAKER_03]: You do, you do, you do, you do.
10:48.687 --> 10:49.007
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
10:49.208 --> 10:50.329
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll do me, you do you.
10:50.650 --> 10:51.110
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
10:51.551 --> 10:56.157
[SPEAKER_03]: I trust my doctor for my blood pressure medicine and my barber for my hair.
10:56.917 --> 11:05.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, Josh and and good and good for you because you usually are pretty skeptical of authority and what they say I choose to do my own research.
11:05.899 --> 11:06.839
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't listen to your barber.
11:07.579 --> 11:09.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, do you know what else is kind of a rip off?
11:10.060 --> 11:11.140
[SPEAKER_00]: Who I don't trust anymore?
11:11.380 --> 11:15.181
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's kind of an oil is this an oil podcast I just think it's enough of my chest.
11:15.241 --> 11:16.221
[SPEAKER_03]: That's been all by himself.
11:16.301 --> 11:19.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's to get some stuff on my chest hundred-day streak.
11:20.162 --> 11:22.743
[SPEAKER_00]: I have one hundred and ten days streak
11:23.423 --> 11:28.025
[SPEAKER_00]: on dual lingo swahili and I feel like I've learned no swahili and hundred ten days.
11:28.425 --> 11:35.787
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like my knowledge of swahili is no greater than when I started the dual lingo swahili than it is now and I'm a hundred ten days in.
11:36.087 --> 11:38.048
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have to stop, I can't stop.
11:39.345 --> 11:55.501
[SPEAKER_03]: You need to, on that, what's on Dolango, you need to friend Kelly, because she is also in this and doing it every night with Italian, and she does it every night because she's like Jason, someone else's streak.
11:56.182 --> 11:56.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
11:57.203 --> 11:57.443
[SPEAKER_03]: So.
11:58.024 --> 12:07.349
[SPEAKER_00]: I think my problem is I'm ready to move on to conversational Israeli and this is all like Vokap and I know the Vokap are ready Right, well, I don't know if it's actually teaching.
12:07.770 --> 12:09.350
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how good doing the works.
12:09.931 --> 12:15.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think it's good for conversation I think it's good for basic Vokap, maybe the read science.
12:15.914 --> 12:20.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe the read science Anything else on your list of gripes?
12:21.308 --> 12:27.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, listen, we went to the golf shores of the day for Sassas, Baseball Tour Tour Tournament, which ended disaster by the way.
12:27.712 --> 12:28.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was disaster.
12:28.613 --> 12:31.574
[SPEAKER_03]: But hey, golf shores are nice, but I do want to hear about the disaster.
12:32.015 --> 12:34.396
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, disaster like on the field or family.
12:34.896 --> 12:36.117
[SPEAKER_00]: On the field, I don't want to talk about that.
12:36.577 --> 12:36.898
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
12:37.930 --> 12:39.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We played Puppa as a family.
12:39.612 --> 12:47.458
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the first time we could all go out there and play a legit Puppa game without someone running on to different courses and all right.
12:47.598 --> 12:49.200
[SPEAKER_03]: But that could also be a disaster.
12:49.720 --> 12:50.861
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it wasn't great with the family.
12:51.302 --> 12:57.887
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that happened and it still bothers me and I should get over this, I was trying really hard.
12:58.847 --> 13:00.108
[SPEAKER_00]: and Emily beat me.
13:00.369 --> 13:01.350
[SPEAKER_00]: And I played pretty well.
13:01.630 --> 13:06.395
[SPEAKER_00]: There were some shots I could have made that that that I missed, but Emily straight beat me by two strokes.
13:07.276 --> 13:08.757
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just it irritates me.
13:10.018 --> 13:15.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Emily is not supposed to be that good to put, but I'm supposed to be that good to put, but I'm still not over losing to her and put but.
13:15.564 --> 13:20.388
[SPEAKER_03]: And yes, and isn't it so annoying because I have this issue too.
13:21.069 --> 13:24.052
[SPEAKER_03]: where you lose and the other person is an even competitive.
13:24.612 --> 13:25.373
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, yeah, care.
13:25.613 --> 13:27.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, not, it doesn't, it does a lot of them.
13:27.735 --> 13:29.456
[SPEAKER_00]: She wouldn't have thought about it for five minutes.
13:29.717 --> 13:30.237
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
13:30.377 --> 13:32.219
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm so competitive, if it was me.
13:32.579 --> 13:36.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm two weeks in and every time I look at her, every time I look at her face, I just see how she beat me.
13:37.163 --> 13:37.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
13:37.303 --> 13:38.064
[SPEAKER_00]: And it makes me angry.
13:38.665 --> 13:40.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm, it's affecting my marriage now.
13:40.386 --> 13:41.987
[SPEAKER_03]: After this trip, I'm going to the other banks.
13:42.568 --> 13:44.290
[SPEAKER_03]: So I know I want to play some pickleball.
13:44.970 --> 13:55.637
[SPEAKER_03]: So for weeks I kept saying, Hey, I got to get him better shape and be able to pull you in run because I can't stand the lose even if it's a game I only play once a year and pop up does not mess around that pickle ball You know he's out there training.
13:55.998 --> 13:58.059
[SPEAKER_03]: No, don't don't ask him how much his paddle costs.
13:58.879 --> 14:01.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my I didn't know there was different.
14:01.361 --> 14:01.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
14:02.042 --> 14:02.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sure there are.
14:02.702 --> 14:04.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure that wasn't talking about he's got the
14:13.223 --> 14:13.964
[SPEAKER_03]: So how's that list?
14:14.525 --> 14:15.426
[SPEAKER_03]: Did we cover everything?
14:16.467 --> 14:17.228
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one more thing.
14:18.951 --> 14:21.654
[SPEAKER_00]: I started watching this show called Rooster.
14:21.674 --> 14:25.540
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I am all caught up on Rooster.
14:26.108 --> 14:26.668
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm not.
14:26.728 --> 14:28.829
[SPEAKER_00]: I got like three episodes in, really enjoyed it.
14:29.189 --> 14:34.511
[SPEAKER_00]: But then it made me miss the office because it has Michael Scott, is in a- But it's a completely different character.
14:35.011 --> 14:37.972
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, but it made me think of the office seeing him all the time.
14:38.272 --> 14:41.253
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I turned the booster off and I turned back on the office.
14:41.513 --> 14:42.533
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's not as good.
14:43.133 --> 14:50.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh, through seven seasons, I was thinking like they had a couple good episodes, season one and two is good and then it gets bad.
14:50.716 --> 14:51.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm laughing out loud.
14:51.916 --> 14:54.937
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm laughing my butt off through seven seasons of this show.
14:55.887 --> 14:56.707
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
14:57.027 --> 14:57.588
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't.
14:57.608 --> 14:58.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Holds up so well.
14:58.468 --> 14:58.968
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't do it.
14:59.368 --> 14:59.668
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't.
14:59.888 --> 15:01.409
[SPEAKER_03]: It's okay.
15:01.469 --> 15:03.209
[SPEAKER_00]: There's very few shows that laugh out loud.
15:03.269 --> 15:04.149
[SPEAKER_00]: I laugh out loud.
15:04.169 --> 15:05.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Like one thing I've pursued with that show.
15:05.290 --> 15:06.090
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
15:06.110 --> 15:09.451
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the next show that you and I will both watch and laugh out loud.
15:10.151 --> 15:10.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
15:10.591 --> 15:11.431
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know what's coming out?
15:11.451 --> 15:13.152
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's the end of the summer.
15:13.658 --> 15:16.839
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of done watching new shows and I'll just like to watch this new show.
15:16.859 --> 15:18.280
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to be all that on all right.
15:18.300 --> 15:19.320
[SPEAKER_03]: What is it all right?
15:20.341 --> 15:28.624
[SPEAKER_03]: It's Larry David All right exactly have you seen the commercial for Larry David's new show just do it ever going to retire No, I thought he was done after curve.
15:28.644 --> 15:29.464
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know he had another show
15:29.704 --> 15:53.812
[SPEAKER_03]: it's a new show I believe it's on HBO and what they do is they take his store contents and they put him in it and it's Larry David as Larry David but in these historic events yeah so he's irritated like Larry David is like while they're signing the declaration and dependence or whatever you know young on a John Hancock Ford right in his name too big
15:55.503 --> 16:20.175
[SPEAKER_00]: that reminds me of uh... there's a funny neighbor gasky thing where you know when no no it's standing where he says he talks about if you were to be a time travel and go to the future he said he'd be the worst time traveler ever because you want to know what to tell me where we went to the past he's like i want to know where i'm at one of the only thing i want to be able to like make a million dollars i just want it because i'm i'm dumb now i've been a time traveler want to make many smarter i'd be the worst time traveler
16:20.855 --> 16:25.356
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be able to take advantage of all the cool time-trapping things and it's like a very day, but it will be this situation.
16:26.297 --> 16:26.777
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you know what?
16:26.897 --> 16:32.279
[SPEAKER_03]: This is called the life, Larry, and the pursuit of unhappiness and almost history of America.
16:33.119 --> 16:37.260
[SPEAKER_03]: It there's seven episodes and it starts on June 26th, so this week.
16:37.721 --> 16:43.482
[SPEAKER_00]: And sounds like maybe some historical fiction, so I'll bring in the little kids to come watch with me about history, right?
16:43.642 --> 16:43.863
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
16:44.083 --> 16:47.964
[SPEAKER_03]: So then they can go and just go and be like, no, why don't we talk about the grumpy old guy?
16:50.193 --> 16:52.615
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I got my, I got done my list.
16:52.795 --> 16:56.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all right, would you like to, would you like to know my list of crips?
16:57.539 --> 16:59.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, do you think, yeah, which is one more thing.
17:00.141 --> 17:01.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think, I was thinking about the dual lingo thing?
17:02.402 --> 17:09.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Should it there be, and then, and now they're keeping from on this dual, dual-lingual chess, they should have like dual-lingual baseball, right?
17:10.388 --> 17:14.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We can learn about the intricacies that was a baseball, maybe even like teams just think a little bit.
17:15.092 --> 17:16.293
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll just app that is,
17:18.157 --> 17:21.701
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright, I'm not too familiar with Dool and Go, but I think he just came up with an amazing idea.
17:22.822 --> 17:24.563
[SPEAKER_03]: Forget teaching you the rules of baseball.
17:25.404 --> 17:26.926
[SPEAKER_03]: Teaching you the history of baseball.
17:27.306 --> 17:28.267
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, best teaching you.
17:28.287 --> 17:29.368
[SPEAKER_00]: You deserve about the whole.
17:29.428 --> 17:31.950
[SPEAKER_03]: Teaching you every night when you do your streak.
17:32.211 --> 17:35.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Teaching you about like these Hall of Famers.
17:35.714 --> 17:35.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:36.875 --> 17:37.276
[SPEAKER_03]: I like that.
17:37.296 --> 17:37.816
[SPEAKER_00]: There's an idea.
17:38.397 --> 17:38.877
[SPEAKER_03]: There's an idea.
17:38.897 --> 17:39.438
[SPEAKER_03]: Same in the shark tank.
17:39.458 --> 17:39.678
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
17:39.698 --> 17:40.198
[SPEAKER_03]: Go, go, go, go, go, go.
17:40.218 --> 17:40.959
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we'll talk, go, go, go, go.
17:41.039 --> 17:50.248
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we'll talk, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
17:51.922 --> 17:56.586
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I heard you mentioned this on the other podcasts that you made here.
17:56.626 --> 18:03.933
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I talked about it on the Michael mayor show, basically I go to these like good little outlets and buy clothes by the pound and then I sell it online.
18:04.453 --> 18:07.917
[SPEAKER_03]: The only reason I bring that up is because I had a weird issue on Sunday morning.
18:09.156 --> 18:15.242
[SPEAKER_03]: because my new thing is when I travel, I hit the goodwill bins in other states and cities and everything.
18:16.022 --> 18:20.186
[SPEAKER_03]: So then it's like, if I grab stuff and sell it, I can pay for my trip.
18:20.667 --> 18:20.867
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
18:21.307 --> 18:24.871
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to imagine northern goodwills have better stuff than southern goodwills.
18:24.931 --> 18:26.072
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe that's a stereotype.
18:26.592 --> 18:39.316
[SPEAKER_03]: A whole separate thing we can talk about sometime is my favorite thing is that every goodwill outlet has a different style and different type of thing So like when I go to Orlando, I get Disney stuff and a lot of W.W.E.
18:39.336 --> 18:44.798
[SPEAKER_03]: stuff In Jacksonville, I get a good mix of higher-end brands.
18:45.058 --> 18:47.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I would imagine to pick a goodwill based on the neighborhood, right?
18:47.819 --> 18:48.459
[SPEAKER_00]: When neighborhood.
18:48.479 --> 18:49.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, when I went to Savannah.
18:50.199 --> 18:51.480
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a lot of military stuff
18:52.180 --> 18:59.206
[SPEAKER_03]: When I went to northern Virginia ties lots of ties no one was ties in Florida, but it makes sense.
18:59.246 --> 19:12.256
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all the DC people Yeah When I went to the one in Baltimore I typed in the you know, I got the Tesla, so it just drives me so I was already bad Yeah, I was already bad with GPS.
19:12.276 --> 19:13.698
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not really knowing how to put it.
19:13.718 --> 19:14.138
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going
19:15.002 --> 19:42.849
[SPEAKER_03]: now when the car's going and I'm just playing on my phone oh and bottom or that could be a dangerous situation well I just I I look up and I'm like I didn't know I'm look up and I'm like oh I know these buildings I know where we're at we're going in the Rosedale okay I know this yeah um... and we passed and it's like oh the old uh the old picture flick is now like a uh... dollar general or something uh yeah or old stuff going through their highs is now like Frank's food market
19:43.469 --> 19:46.671
[SPEAKER_03]: And then it makes a left on the hazelwood.
19:46.892 --> 19:49.173
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, oh, I'm happy to hear him.
19:50.274 --> 19:53.176
[SPEAKER_03]: Matt, it is inside of our townhood grocery store.
19:53.777 --> 19:56.499
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a little A&P that we used to go to as kids.
19:57.099 --> 19:57.819
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's fun.
19:58.120 --> 19:59.421
[SPEAKER_03]: Which was fun and weird.
19:59.881 --> 20:01.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Could you pick out our old house?
20:02.805 --> 20:03.626
[SPEAKER_03]: Pick out our old house.
20:03.666 --> 20:04.406
[SPEAKER_03]: I could walk to it.
20:04.446 --> 20:04.746
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
20:05.287 --> 20:11.471
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but you could identify it walking down like your memory was good enough to identify which house was Oh, I know the address and everything.
20:11.511 --> 20:20.437
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I I was older when we moved out of there Yeah, but if you remember like our house, we used to be able to walk up a hill behind our house It was a parking store.
20:20.597 --> 20:24.320
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, they now've got they now have a big fence up there So you can't do that anymore.
20:24.640 --> 20:31.465
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a shame, but it was just weird to show up like without knowing where I was going to exactly where I knew everything
20:31.915 --> 20:32.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's weird.
20:32.635 --> 20:35.616
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, now, hey, let me ask you a question about this.
20:36.036 --> 20:38.716
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a store that I drive by every day to work.
20:39.356 --> 20:40.977
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know what the story is.
20:40.997 --> 20:44.037
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand it, and I'm too afraid to go in.
20:44.417 --> 20:49.919
[SPEAKER_00]: But it sounds like maybe something you're doing here, where it says, big sign on the door.
20:49.979 --> 20:52.999
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like this old CVS building, but it's new.
20:53.039 --> 20:53.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know what's called.
20:54.559 --> 20:56.560
[SPEAKER_00]: But it just has big signs in the window.
20:57.440 --> 21:00.363
[SPEAKER_00]: And it says, Monday, everything $5.
21:01.263 --> 21:02.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Just day, every $4.
21:02.304 --> 21:03.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Through it.
21:03.305 --> 21:03.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
21:03.866 --> 21:05.227
[SPEAKER_00]: And it goes like that all day different.
21:05.267 --> 21:05.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Friday every $1.
21:06.248 --> 21:07.349
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a different type of store.
21:07.549 --> 21:08.269
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's similar.
21:08.570 --> 21:10.932
[SPEAKER_03]: It's there's bins and you go in and buy stuff.
21:10.972 --> 21:11.592
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been to those.
21:12.093 --> 21:12.193
[SPEAKER_03]: OK.
21:12.353 --> 21:13.374
[SPEAKER_03]: It's generally not closed.
21:14.615 --> 21:16.436
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, you're great.
21:16.817 --> 21:18.578
[SPEAKER_03]: We are 21 minutes in.
21:18.698 --> 21:20.580
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to get us back to the oils with my gripe.
21:21.335 --> 21:21.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, thank you.
21:22.336 --> 21:22.917
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's my grite.
21:23.317 --> 21:24.258
[SPEAKER_00]: We started with the orders, all right.
21:24.278 --> 21:25.880
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's now that we didn't talk orders for 21 minutes.
21:25.900 --> 21:26.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know.
21:26.580 --> 21:27.701
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't talk it for like 19.
21:27.781 --> 21:28.322
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, go ahead.
21:28.582 --> 21:29.163
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's my grite.
21:29.723 --> 21:30.604
[SPEAKER_03]: Blaze that looks the under.
21:30.984 --> 21:38.512
[SPEAKER_03]: Jackson Holiday, Dylan Beaver's, Felix Petista, Dean Cramer, K. Poevic, Adley Ruchman, Chris Bassett,
21:39.715 --> 21:42.157
[SPEAKER_03]: Ryan Mount Castle.
21:42.237 --> 21:43.037
[SPEAKER_03]: Jordan Westburg.
21:43.058 --> 21:45.699
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like a pretty good team.
21:48.401 --> 21:49.022
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it does.
21:49.142 --> 21:50.023
[SPEAKER_03]: From our interlace.
21:50.063 --> 21:52.504
[SPEAKER_03]: My gripless is our interries.
21:52.624 --> 21:58.088
[SPEAKER_03]: And I get it like every team gets banged up a lot every year.
21:58.509 --> 21:59.790
[SPEAKER_03]: It's part of baseball being long.
22:00.450 --> 22:02.411
[SPEAKER_03]: And it always feels like we get banged up more.
22:02.531 --> 22:05.313
[SPEAKER_03]: When I know that's not true at the end of the year, when I look at the stats.
22:05.954 --> 22:06.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:07.880 --> 22:30.118
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, even even we played Seattle, they had caught up a guy from single ages because they need another body because they're guys are dropping like flies So yeah, why is that time of year it's that time of year But it's little things it's leg discomfort growing tightness oblique strain why can't what are trainers doing that they can't prepare the guys for these shouldn't we have better trainers now
22:32.506 --> 22:35.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I mean, I don't think it's a training issue.
22:35.274 --> 22:39.024
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think, uh, over the course of a season.
22:40.331 --> 22:41.431
[SPEAKER_00]: This is inevitable.
22:41.851 --> 22:44.072
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it would happen with the best trainers in the world.
22:44.692 --> 22:46.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Silas today has basketball camp.
22:47.212 --> 22:49.013
[SPEAKER_00]: He was slumping his elbow wrong.
22:49.333 --> 22:53.854
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said he was practicing in the front yard this morning so I can't make any shots dad.
22:53.934 --> 22:55.014
[SPEAKER_00]: My elbow is messed up.
22:55.374 --> 23:00.935
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't we have a picture a few years ago that messed the start because he slept wrong when it's on or back or something?
23:00.955 --> 23:02.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you play every day to the long season.
23:02.496 --> 23:08.277
[SPEAKER_00]: The good news is that Josh of those guys you listed a bunch of them on our rehab assignments right now.
23:09.597 --> 23:14.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Namely they'd povich Dean Cramer Dylan Beaver's all-on rehab assignments.
23:15.021 --> 23:16.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hopefully Adley Ruchman.
23:17.622 --> 23:19.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this still about getting hit in the head?
23:19.163 --> 23:19.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what the Adley Ruchman?
23:19.964 --> 23:21.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's Adley's just a concussion prodo.
23:22.585 --> 23:26.227
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so hopefully he'll be back the end of the week.
23:26.247 --> 23:30.250
[SPEAKER_03]: It's seven days retro to the 19th, so he'll be back the end of the week.
23:30.760 --> 23:34.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and blaze we don't know really the severity of blaze that hopefully it's not serious though, right?
23:34.683 --> 23:38.005
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, day to day, Jackson how old is day to day?
23:38.365 --> 23:39.306
[SPEAKER_03]: That was growing tight, man.
23:39.366 --> 23:42.008
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why you always focus on, yeah, Jackson how it should be back.
23:43.169 --> 23:44.369
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why you always focus on negative.
23:44.770 --> 23:48.232
[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler O'Neill made a dive in catch and got up and wasn't injured.
23:48.492 --> 23:49.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Even Jepommer was like, is he hurt?
23:49.953 --> 23:51.434
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's just a Justin who's bump buckle.
23:51.634 --> 23:52.795
[SPEAKER_00]: But I haven't thought he was hurt.
23:53.095 --> 23:53.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Out for the season.
23:53.856 --> 23:54.897
[SPEAKER_00]: After he'd go for it all.
23:55.417 --> 24:03.781
[SPEAKER_03]: Tyler Neill is so weird sometimes it looks like he does not know what he's doing out in the outfield and sometimes he will make an amazing catch like that one yesterday where he gets up and he's fine.
24:04.362 --> 24:04.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:06.062 --> 24:18.729
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah the injuries but hopefully the other good news Josh is you may you you ran down a whole list of players there but if you look at kind of our elite
24:21.090 --> 24:26.152
[SPEAKER_00]: are top three right, bradish, bazz, rougers, they ever made healthy.
24:26.672 --> 24:33.795
[SPEAKER_00]: I would argue a lot of besides Westburg, a lot of our major hitters like Alonzo and Gunner have remained healthy.
24:34.295 --> 24:38.377
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yes, there's been some injuries, but it hasn't been,
24:40.068 --> 24:41.289
[SPEAKER_00]: as bad as it could.
24:41.349 --> 24:43.650
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, the big the big one was Westburg.
24:44.530 --> 24:47.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's some of the keys and then we we've known that.
24:47.231 --> 24:48.212
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, of course.
24:49.732 --> 25:01.738
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so I mean, I bring that up as I guess yesterday blaze Alexander getting hurt and then we haven't to catchers that we don't even want on our team.
25:02.598 --> 25:03.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
25:03.619 --> 25:14.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And Leo to Various, and I love baseball so much, because he goes in there to third and the first batter hits it right out of it, and it makes out, and that happens to you.
25:15.391 --> 25:23.820
[SPEAKER_03]: That happens 100% of the time at baseball, it's always that way, and he did, you know what, he did fine, as well as Kobe.
25:25.054 --> 25:27.116
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Kobe's really improved.
25:27.977 --> 25:28.597
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think he had.
25:28.657 --> 25:30.539
[SPEAKER_00]: He dropped the ball against the Dodgers, he should have made.
25:31.440 --> 25:41.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh, what an oppressive, yeah, but just one more to your point before I move on, the depth of our team is being tested here.
25:42.250 --> 25:42.771
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, totally.
25:44.112 --> 25:47.095
[SPEAKER_03]: And a depth that I didn't think we had any depth.
25:48.723 --> 26:17.198
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I thought we had some pitching depth and the pitching depth has really showed not with branding young and uh... trade gifts and don't get a little bit and uh... who's the third well that's kind of back i mean that's kind of been it now now with Trevor Rogers oh yeah oh yeah Trevor Rogers is being back yeah so and and Trevor Rogers is looking back kind of an old form that brought us yesterday that brought us yesterday that i think that was the best out in the year
26:18.885 --> 26:39.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it was certainly as long as I think it's wanting to see out it was actually a little bit better, being just had more strikeouts, but the thing, the thing about Bradish, and this was, happened yesterday, but it was so true in Seattle game, when you throw a curveball that lands a couple feet in front of home plate and maybe outside, and the hitters still swings.
26:40.202 --> 26:42.544
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what you know, the pitch is just absolutely nasty.
26:42.604 --> 26:44.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you can't get into the plane.
26:44.426 --> 26:48.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and even if that's the multiple hitters, you can see out all on a couple of times against the angels.
26:49.450 --> 27:01.180
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, his stuff, and he has, and even if his curve ball is not as nasty, his sliders nasty, and there was saying, yesterday's game was the hardest he's ever thrown in the sixth inning or later, thrown at 97, so it was like,
27:03.842 --> 27:04.782
[SPEAKER_03]: Those are all positives.
27:05.262 --> 27:05.502
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
27:05.822 --> 27:09.183
[SPEAKER_03]: We're like, and that's also part of the problem with this team.
27:09.763 --> 27:14.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Is they will do everything to break your heart, and then suddenly pull you right back in.
27:15.484 --> 27:24.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, when we were talking about this weeks ago, but like I feel like this team goes as Rogers, Braddish, and to a lesser extent, Bazgo.
27:25.026 --> 27:31.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if Rogers and Braddish, we know they're capable of being great, and they haven't, they've been inconsistent so far this year, but if they're great,
27:32.307 --> 27:46.698
[SPEAKER_00]: As good as they can be, that solves a lot of our ills, at least in a pitching staff, because then they can go deeper the games, you're less exposed to your bullpen, it's just, it's all good stuff, and they've been pitching like that lately, and we've had some weeks lately.
27:46.898 --> 27:50.160
[SPEAKER_03]: And we saw in the Dodger series, this team can take on any team.
27:50.901 --> 27:52.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's just a super impressive series.
27:53.122 --> 27:54.343
[SPEAKER_03]: It really was.
27:55.364 --> 28:00.948
[SPEAKER_03]: It should have been a sweep, but whatever, it's still you win the series, and that's impressive.
28:01.206 --> 28:05.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, when that final game in such dominant fashion to the point where they had to bring a position.
28:05.608 --> 28:07.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure, yes, that's part of it.
28:07.248 --> 28:11.230
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, I guess a Dodgers at their place at what's it called?
28:11.270 --> 28:12.611
[SPEAKER_00]: I never heard of this thing before.
28:12.871 --> 28:15.352
[SPEAKER_00]: That was everywhere, unique lower something, what is that?
28:15.832 --> 28:21.194
[SPEAKER_03]: It is unique low at Dodgers Stadium or whatever they call it, because it still got Dodgers Stadium in it.
28:21.234 --> 28:22.775
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think people should come to the stadium.
28:23.235 --> 28:24.656
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a Japanese company.
28:25.316 --> 28:25.856
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that makes sense.
28:25.876 --> 28:27.817
[SPEAKER_03]: Because of their, it makes sense for them.
28:29.958 --> 28:34.580
[SPEAKER_03]: If you pay attention, you start to see that little red and white logo on so much stuff.
28:35.061 --> 28:35.401
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh really?
28:35.801 --> 28:36.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:36.762 --> 28:37.302
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
28:38.402 --> 28:38.703
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
28:38.763 --> 28:40.063
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, just super impressive.
28:40.343 --> 28:44.325
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you worry when you get to the angels a little bit of a let down.
28:44.846 --> 28:47.767
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because this is how the overseas gone up and up and down.
28:47.787 --> 28:48.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:48.408 --> 28:52.029
[SPEAKER_00]: So the question is, can we kind of extend that momentum here into the angel series?
28:52.069 --> 28:52.830
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we have.
28:53.210 --> 28:56.073
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and the biggest frustration with this team has been them killing themselves.
28:56.634 --> 28:57.094
[SPEAKER_03]: So you do.
28:57.394 --> 29:02.119
[SPEAKER_03]: You had that feeling that we just had a really impressive series against the best team in baseball that Dodgers.
29:02.700 --> 29:07.084
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to go into the worst team in baseball, well the worst team in the American League, and fall apart.
29:07.985 --> 29:09.447
[SPEAKER_03]: And really impressive win yesterday.
29:10.315 --> 29:13.396
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, do you know what, um, I was looking at some stats today.
29:13.776 --> 29:14.056
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
29:14.236 --> 29:15.736
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you got, I hope you don't mind me doing that.
29:16.396 --> 29:20.837
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is to me, one of the most bizarre things.
29:20.897 --> 29:28.719
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you look at, let's just look at baseball reference and look at the top hitters in baseball and look at their war.
29:29.299 --> 29:29.539
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
29:30.139 --> 29:32.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know where and there's 30 teams in the league?
29:32.820 --> 29:33.060
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:33.460 --> 29:38.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know where our top hitter ranks in terms of war in terms of war?
29:38.521 --> 29:38.781
[SPEAKER_00]: War?
29:40.542 --> 29:43.543
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think we are... Tath.
29:44.423 --> 29:46.023
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm talking about individual players.
29:47.043 --> 29:47.964
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so which player?
29:48.444 --> 29:50.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Which player and where do we rank?
29:50.964 --> 29:51.284
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
29:51.925 --> 29:52.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, uh...
29:53.085 --> 29:55.466
[SPEAKER_03]: Tailored would be your highest war with you.
29:55.486 --> 29:56.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's war.
29:56.846 --> 29:58.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And where do you think would rank in the majors?
29:59.807 --> 30:00.027
[SPEAKER_03]: Um...
30:02.142 --> 30:24.917
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... let's save uh... ten he ranks uh... sixty-third okay and that's a top player but all right in terms of war and the and the and the the same with pitching uh... i mean uh... you'll you'll never guess who are top pitchers but see but that's looking at a individual stat instead of team stats but that's it's a
30:26.811 --> 30:33.315
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's what I'm saying my argument is this team so far has had no one and by the way our top picture in terms of war.
30:33.375 --> 30:36.016
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know who it is?
30:36.096 --> 30:41.539
[SPEAKER_03]: Top picture war Well, is it Rico Garcia this bullpen count?
30:41.900 --> 30:43.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it is Rico Garcia good for you Josh.
30:44.701 --> 30:45.842
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watch these games
30:46.560 --> 30:52.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but usually it's a starter, but we can see it is 67th in terms of war.
30:53.087 --> 30:57.952
[SPEAKER_00]: So both our top pitcher and our top position player are in the 60s and these are top players.
30:57.972 --> 31:01.635
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, who would have had ward and Garcia as our two, as our best?
31:02.648 --> 31:27.174
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... war players off uh... for for hitting and pitching but to me this is more evidence of of this team does not have the elite or is not had elite performances really by anybody all year uh... and so this has really been the team kind of being good enough collectively to get us this point and what we've seen recently i would expect a month from now
31:27.994 --> 31:38.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Bradish to be the top leader board and at some point I expect Gunner to still be our top war player offensively even though he's not there yet And so I still think this team
31:39.449 --> 31:46.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only are we kind of playing better, the potential for a lot of these star players, and I think Brad is just a star.
31:47.135 --> 31:50.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I think Alonzo and Anderson are stars.
31:51.198 --> 31:57.283
[SPEAKER_00]: The potential, I think, for then to play a lot better, the second half of the season, is absolutely there.
31:57.824 --> 31:58.184
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
31:58.544 --> 32:04.169
[SPEAKER_00]: The ceiling for this team is really high, and the fact that we're still in the running,
32:04.929 --> 32:25.997
[SPEAKER_00]: with all of our kind of stars and with not having any elite performances really i don't know what the all-star boat looks like Josh but oh i love war stats would say we shouldn't have any all-star we don't we don't have any all-stars yeah my guess is our sea i will get in a bite my guess is weaker Garcia will represent the or else but isn't that kind of wild given this roster in this town and this team
32:26.625 --> 32:28.666
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it also explains why we're in fourth place.
32:29.426 --> 32:30.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I know.
32:30.987 --> 32:31.908
[SPEAKER_03]: I know we're hopeful.
32:32.168 --> 32:33.308
[SPEAKER_03]: It's why we're under 500.
32:33.528 --> 32:35.569
[SPEAKER_03]: We're hopeful that we're two games under the wild card.
32:35.890 --> 32:37.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, exactly.
32:37.330 --> 32:39.351
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if I were to said to you Josh, begin the season.
32:39.391 --> 32:41.372
[SPEAKER_00]: If I was to say, hey, listen, it's going to be June 23rd.
32:41.552 --> 32:42.233
[SPEAKER_03]: And we also.
32:42.293 --> 32:46.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Rico Garcia is going to be our only all star and our highest war player.
32:47.235 --> 32:48.056
[SPEAKER_00]: What's our record?
32:48.476 --> 32:52.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you would say two games on the wild card, four games under 500.
32:52.698 --> 32:54.399
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you would say this is complete disaster.
32:54.799 --> 33:08.326
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think there's a testament to how well we've played collectively as a team, whether be Kobe Mayo stepping up, whether it be Brandon Young, with the season he's had and stepping up, we didn't expect it.
33:08.626 --> 33:19.912
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think collectively, but Silas obviously performance, collectively we've kind of been good, and now we just need our superstars to kind of tick off and Brad is already there, hopefully Rogers is there.
33:20.972 --> 33:21.512
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited.
33:21.532 --> 33:22.933
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for where this seems going.
33:22.973 --> 33:25.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they will disappoint me again because they seem to do this all the time this year.
33:26.334 --> 33:28.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Going to a lot of a couple of games and then fall back.
33:28.835 --> 33:31.596
[SPEAKER_00]: But this seems like I think we play the national's next.
33:31.956 --> 33:36.638
[SPEAKER_00]: This seems like a good opportunity to really have a nice, you know, win a bunch of games.
33:37.438 --> 33:40.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a nice streak going and just to July and the All-Star Break.
33:40.679 --> 33:42.760
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm optimistic.
33:42.800 --> 33:43.660
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm bullish on this team.
33:48.392 --> 33:52.653
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's also that this team has underperformed for the first half of the season.
33:53.533 --> 33:57.034
[SPEAKER_03]: And we know that they've got the talent and it's all stringing them together.
33:57.294 --> 34:04.835
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a question that people keep asking me is what do I think is wrong with this team?
34:05.236 --> 34:06.876
[SPEAKER_03]: Or what is my takeaway with this team?
34:08.436 --> 34:13.297
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't know, is it me or more and more?
34:14.538 --> 34:16.518
[SPEAKER_03]: There's one person on this team that frustrates me.
34:17.825 --> 34:19.646
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, I like how you pose your own questions.
34:19.667 --> 34:21.488
[SPEAKER_00]: You should do that more and more in the comments.
34:21.528 --> 34:22.269
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm certain.
34:22.469 --> 34:24.450
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to say you up.
34:24.570 --> 34:25.791
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to have a question.
34:25.912 --> 34:27.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you have your frustrates you?
34:27.553 --> 34:33.598
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's one guy that frustrates me where I think he, I think, was out of him.
34:34.278 --> 34:35.479
[SPEAKER_03]: We are a 500-ball club.
34:36.620 --> 34:40.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this your continued hatred of Ta-da O'Neil the part time player?
34:40.984 --> 34:42.585
[SPEAKER_03]: No, this is not Ta-da O'Neil.
34:43.170 --> 34:54.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, um, is this Michael Ciani who is now a filter who I never heard of until he made an appearance in the blog game against the Dodgers and I literally never did a name before.
34:55.534 --> 34:58.875
[SPEAKER_03]: It's also not Sam Huff or Chadwick Trump.
34:59.742 --> 35:02.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, hey, half seems to be calling a pretty good game.
35:02.744 --> 35:04.325
[SPEAKER_00]: They were talking on the broadcast too.
35:04.345 --> 35:08.907
[SPEAKER_00]: We always keep the notebook everywhere and he just kind of how he breaks down games different teams.
35:09.087 --> 35:10.048
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been about a while.
35:10.508 --> 35:12.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I kind of like that Sam Hoff has that third catcher.
35:14.070 --> 35:15.711
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I don't like that third catcher.
35:16.371 --> 35:17.192
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just like, he didn't wait.
35:17.632 --> 35:20.794
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I, well, yeah, because you run into situations like yesterday.
35:21.650 --> 35:24.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, are you going in the pitching room of things?
35:25.031 --> 35:25.271
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
35:26.052 --> 35:28.653
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going into the managerial room of things.
35:29.193 --> 35:33.315
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Craig Alburner's is not the right guy for this team.
35:33.915 --> 35:34.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my gosh.
35:35.355 --> 35:36.916
[SPEAKER_03]: And it seems like a liar.
35:37.456 --> 35:38.877
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have fired Craig.
35:39.957 --> 35:42.500
[SPEAKER_03]: And I would have said, Brock, take over.
35:42.760 --> 35:44.401
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, I should have been you from the beginning.
35:45.742 --> 35:48.064
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is, oh, I know it was about.
35:48.164 --> 35:51.587
[SPEAKER_00]: You just want back to be managers, but this is about this going on for you.
35:52.107 --> 35:54.009
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, I would love Buckbird to be manager.
35:54.189 --> 35:55.450
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's my issue with Craig.
35:55.931 --> 35:59.173
[SPEAKER_03]: Is we talked, or we talked when we didn't have a manager.
35:59.193 --> 35:59.774
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have a manager.
36:00.094 --> 36:00.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be okay.
36:00.374 --> 36:00.635
[SPEAKER_00]: I go ahead.
36:01.535 --> 36:01.956
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be fine.
36:02.036 --> 36:03.537
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be fine.
36:03.797 --> 36:04.438
[SPEAKER_03]: With a wife.
36:04.878 --> 36:05.459
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'll be.
36:09.754 --> 36:12.813
[SPEAKER_03]: how a manager really just needs to fire up and motivate your team.
36:13.793 --> 36:22.420
[SPEAKER_03]: because you've got pitch and coaches, you've got hidden coaches, you've got all these other coaches in field coaches, outfield coaches that actually handle the day today.
36:22.740 --> 36:27.204
[SPEAKER_03]: Like a John Harball doesn't know what plays to call, he trusts his offensive coordinator.
36:27.825 --> 36:35.851
[SPEAKER_03]: You've got the same thing in baseball and what you really need is a guy to motivate your players and Craig keeps falling on his face in this.
36:36.432 --> 36:40.055
[SPEAKER_03]: There are moments where he should be at argue on a play, he doesn't argue.
36:40.475 --> 36:43.058
[SPEAKER_03]: Gunner Henderson gets hit in the ninth on purpose.
36:43.898 --> 36:47.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Craig comes out and I've been dragged multiple times to head ahead and run successful.
36:47.682 --> 36:48.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Find the end.
36:48.383 --> 36:51.165
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be comes out and says, oh, we understand it's okay.
36:51.646 --> 36:53.908
[SPEAKER_03]: Major League Baseball then suspends that picture.
36:54.188 --> 36:55.950
[SPEAKER_03]: So Major League Baseball found it wrong.
36:56.551 --> 36:57.692
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be said it was okay.
36:58.052 --> 37:02.177
[SPEAKER_00]: And more importantly, Gunner Henderson's reaction to get in the head was not like, okay, that's okay guys.
37:02.277 --> 37:02.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
37:02.778 --> 37:03.699
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a new heart up.
37:04.039 --> 37:05.461
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, you have to have your guys back.
37:05.742 --> 37:09.286
[SPEAKER_03]: Deplay where the base runner went out of the base path.
37:10.027 --> 37:13.211
[SPEAKER_03]: He should have been out there yelling at that because it fires up your team.
37:13.632 --> 37:15.973
[SPEAKER_00]: And then later in that game when holiday right on the baseline.
37:16.093 --> 37:19.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, called him out Baseline should have thrown that was the most fluid Chris calls.
37:19.954 --> 37:26.636
[SPEAKER_03]: There should have been an Earl weaver style fit there I know baseball wants to get rid of that But that doesn't mean go away completely.
37:26.916 --> 37:27.196
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
37:27.216 --> 37:27.576
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
37:27.616 --> 37:27.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Now.
37:27.777 --> 37:27.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
37:28.277 --> 37:31.018
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no Then you want to throw back manager.
37:31.038 --> 37:31.578
[SPEAKER_00]: You miss Earl.
37:31.678 --> 37:31.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
37:32.518 --> 37:32.738
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
37:33.198 --> 37:34.679
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you then finally?
37:35.299 --> 37:36.819
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you watch his post game conferences?
37:37.860 --> 37:38.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I Watch some not all
37:40.258 --> 37:41.480
[SPEAKER_03]: They are the most irritating things.
37:41.941 --> 37:42.662
[SPEAKER_03]: He never comes at the point.
37:42.682 --> 37:43.243
[SPEAKER_03]: Information.
37:43.644 --> 37:47.910
[SPEAKER_03]: He took, he, he put, put solid, he definitely referenced the solid was being solved.
37:48.571 --> 37:49.733
[SPEAKER_03]: And then had to walk that back.
37:50.835 --> 37:51.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, is he the solid soft?
37:53.057 --> 37:53.297
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
37:54.438 --> 38:13.431
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
38:23.380 --> 38:30.366
[SPEAKER_03]: where O'Neill through the ball, of course, but Salot did that little lazy grab and missed it.
38:30.547 --> 38:32.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you missed when Hansley gave up the hit, but okay, go ahead.
38:32.648 --> 38:34.911
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and Hansley gave up the hit in a couple walks.
38:35.271 --> 38:35.471
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
38:36.132 --> 38:38.113
[SPEAKER_03]: Craig's post-game conference was, well,
38:38.934 --> 38:47.923
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's a lot of things we could focus on with how that went wrong and he implied hencely was the problem without calling him out.
38:48.603 --> 38:53.948
[SPEAKER_03]: Either call him out or don't stop being soft and try to send the reporters down these paths.
38:54.769 --> 39:00.655
[SPEAKER_03]: I want a manager that's got my players backs and holds my players responsible and I don't think I see that from him.
39:01.155 --> 39:03.017
[SPEAKER_00]: What about the game?
39:03.197 --> 39:04.378
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Josh, to your evidence.
39:04.438 --> 39:07.021
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supporting you here before I call you a knucklehead.
39:07.841 --> 39:15.248
[SPEAKER_00]: In yesterday's game, there was a play at the plate where the show was clearly blocking the plate.
39:15.488 --> 39:19.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and they overturned the call and out and they did a shot of Alb in the dugout.
39:19.432 --> 39:20.773
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's laughing over there.
39:20.793 --> 39:21.354
[SPEAKER_00]: He's laughing.
39:21.654 --> 39:23.015
[SPEAKER_03]: Matt, there was a picture of Alb.
39:24.977 --> 39:27.200
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, from the blowout Dodgers game.
39:27.441 --> 39:28.062
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you seen it?
39:28.442 --> 39:33.409
[SPEAKER_03]: Where he looks like he has a he his head is laying on the railing He looks like he is asleep.
39:34.030 --> 39:35.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's too young to be doing that
39:36.769 --> 39:37.890
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so irritating to me.
39:38.170 --> 39:41.873
[SPEAKER_00]: And this, this doesn't even include the bottom of the construction.
39:42.213 --> 39:42.313
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
39:43.154 --> 39:46.316
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, this does not include leaving players out too long.
39:47.117 --> 39:49.418
[SPEAKER_03]: He had Trevor Rogers out there in the seventh.
39:49.478 --> 39:51.100
[SPEAKER_03]: Trevor Rogers fell apart in the seventh.
39:51.660 --> 39:54.562
[SPEAKER_03]: Post game of Rogers says, I don't know why I wasn't pulled.
39:54.642 --> 39:56.644
[SPEAKER_03]: I kept looking over and they weren't pulling me.
39:56.684 --> 39:57.604
[SPEAKER_03]: So I kept pitching.
39:57.905 --> 39:59.146
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I did.
39:59.186 --> 40:00.046
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't want that one.
40:00.066 --> 40:00.747
[SPEAKER_00]: He left me too long.
40:00.787 --> 40:02.388
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's been a few like that.
40:05.014 --> 40:07.315
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I am not so old on Craig Albinas.
40:08.336 --> 40:09.277
[SPEAKER_03]: You can tell me I'm wrong.
40:09.897 --> 40:19.504
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think buck Britain, I think anyone could get this team above 500.
40:19.584 --> 40:27.010
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's things I'm excited about, but I'll tell you,
40:27.876 --> 40:34.587
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm one of the things I'm excited about is that Cal Ripkin is back on the field and working with these players and seems to be having some success.
40:36.570 --> 40:42.179
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to know did Craig ask him or did they step up and say I'm just going out there and doing this.
40:43.554 --> 40:58.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, there's a separate issue apart from Albee is there has been shrug I mean we've had a lot of high draft picks position players and very few of them have worked out Curse set cows are even now holiday.
40:58.959 --> 41:02.821
[SPEAKER_00]: I know holidays super young, but they haven't loved up yet to their potential.
41:02.841 --> 41:09.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and so that's that's an issue that I think that's beyond Albee that you do but you know what do better at your farm development
41:09.543 --> 41:13.906
[SPEAKER_03]: Fine, I'll be, though, is responsible for line-up construction.
41:14.027 --> 41:15.808
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had no issues with the line-up construction.
41:15.868 --> 41:24.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Gunner Henderson should be fifth, and everyone bumps up, because Taylor Ward is getting on base all the time and being left out to dry.
41:25.375 --> 41:28.738
[SPEAKER_03]: So I would drop him back and then I would go,
41:34.966 --> 41:39.568
[SPEAKER_03]: because you've got at least those guys are gonna hit the ball deep and try to move water around.
41:40.508 --> 41:53.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay fine and in terms of, I mean I think I know that's not your biggest issue but to me that's a minor issue but the I tend to want my best hitter at number two and I still think gunners are great.
41:54.153 --> 41:55.353
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think gunners are best hitter.
41:55.681 --> 41:56.281
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I think he is.
41:56.301 --> 41:57.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what to screw there.
41:58.002 --> 41:59.723
[SPEAKER_00]: The edge of the strikeouts this year.
42:00.443 --> 42:05.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's actually handled the bullpen and starting when to pull guys really well.
42:05.626 --> 42:13.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Even the Rogers thing, and this is just me, maybe I'm old school, and maybe you like this new way where starters, pitch three, it ends, and then you pull them out.
42:13.810 --> 42:17.492
[SPEAKER_00]: But I like the fact that I'll be lets his pictures go a little bit, his starters go a little bit.
42:17.812 --> 42:19.173
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the fact that he could have pulled
42:20.025 --> 42:30.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Bradish yesterday, after seven, certainly after seven and two thirds, when he was going to potentially get there well over a hundred pitches, but he left him in there to finish off the eighth inning.
42:31.233 --> 42:34.296
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I actually like how much he lets his starters go.
42:34.956 --> 42:37.978
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm good with his bullpen usage as well.
42:39.259 --> 42:43.702
[SPEAKER_00]: So and in terms of shots of the dugout and interaction of the players, it seems like
42:44.563 --> 42:50.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I always see him having positive interactions with Pita Lanzo with other players in the dugout whenever they shoot to the dugout.
42:51.546 --> 42:51.807
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.
42:52.107 --> 42:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: And everything I hear from people and I know people who cover the team are often biased, but they have more insight than you do.
42:59.030 --> 43:03.112
[SPEAKER_00]: And it sounds like players really respond well and like Albee from what I've read.
43:04.247 --> 43:04.547
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.
43:05.287 --> 43:06.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, maybe.
43:06.388 --> 43:06.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
43:06.928 --> 43:07.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't talk about that.
43:08.268 --> 43:13.710
[SPEAKER_00]: On top of all that, Josh, I mean, we're not even halfway through.
43:13.790 --> 43:14.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it 80 games?
43:14.610 --> 43:15.190
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that where we're at?
43:16.050 --> 43:16.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
43:16.751 --> 43:20.712
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're almost halfway through a season as a new manager.
43:20.752 --> 43:21.952
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's insane.
43:22.452 --> 43:28.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless he's doing crazy stuff, I think it's insane to do all the work to identify the next manager.
43:29.514 --> 43:46.798
[SPEAKER_00]: do all that work, all that background work, hire the guy, and after less than half a season fire him, I think that shows how incompetent you are in your hiring process that will be insane to me, and so you at least have to let out we have a full season and then re-evaluate since he's a new manager.
43:48.284 --> 43:49.225
[SPEAKER_03]: And I get that.
43:49.785 --> 43:50.405
[SPEAKER_03]: I do get that.
43:50.645 --> 43:54.227
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's also a point where this team was supposed to be better now.
43:54.948 --> 44:02.412
[SPEAKER_03]: Some would say Michael Lyce's job is on the line and he needs to fix it if he thinks it's an issue.
44:02.452 --> 44:03.292
[SPEAKER_03]: He clearly doesn't.
44:03.792 --> 44:09.795
[SPEAKER_03]: My concern is that Craig Albranes is just another brand in hide and he's just the yes man of the Michael Lyce.
44:11.316 --> 44:14.858
[SPEAKER_03]: And that Michael Lyce has been lying up control.
44:17.583 --> 44:23.606
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think we've had it well now, it's weird now because he's kind of out of options.
44:23.626 --> 44:25.627
[SPEAKER_00]: So cows are well batted against varieties and lefties.
44:25.647 --> 44:27.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, he's got the never choice.
44:27.348 --> 44:27.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
44:27.588 --> 44:29.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they don't have any more options now because they're very, so we're playing third.
44:29.929 --> 44:31.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You really can't put the tune on him.
44:31.130 --> 44:31.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.
44:31.790 --> 44:34.832
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see when Beatriz comes back if they do more of that platoon stuff.
44:35.672 --> 44:43.676
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I feel like there's been less less of that overmanaging that we saw with hide with Albee.
44:44.016 --> 44:45.377
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe it's because he has less options.
44:45.397 --> 44:45.697
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
44:46.962 --> 45:08.973
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe I don't know that's just been my frustration lately okay and and do you think birdland shares your frustration or or now oh I have no idea I don't care I just know my opinion of watching the games I haven't I haven't taken a survey I mean I I don't think Aberna's job should be in danger I think he's done a nice job I would like to see him
45:10.195 --> 45:10.856
[SPEAKER_00]: argue more.
45:11.396 --> 45:18.281
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, I think that's just the spectacle for us fans that looks like I think in the dugout he does have the players back.
45:18.861 --> 45:22.523
[SPEAKER_00]: We want the spectacle so we can see it on TV, how he has the players back.
45:23.084 --> 45:23.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I get it.
45:23.744 --> 45:24.565
[SPEAKER_00]: I will see that too.
45:25.525 --> 45:27.727
[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, I don't think he's a fire immediately.
45:28.567 --> 45:30.749
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's a C grade right now.
45:30.809 --> 45:35.092
[SPEAKER_03]: He's average, which is exactly what you see from the Orioles on the field.
45:35.472 --> 45:36.132
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just average.
45:37.153 --> 45:51.661
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're they're getting by I think they they're underperforming Yeah And I think he's underperforming, but that's yeah, but it's gonna be amazing when Gunner starts to get on fire any will Josh wait I hope so it's amazing how much better of a manager.
45:51.761 --> 45:54.282
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he is we've got a star fire.
45:54.322 --> 45:58.465
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 100% 100% it's way easier to manage when your team is good.
45:58.745 --> 45:59.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's easier management.
45:59.825 --> 46:01.146
[SPEAKER_00]: Prattish throws eight innings, right?
46:01.286 --> 46:02.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, you just have to make one decision.
46:02.687 --> 46:06.109
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be a ninth and you're good Yeah, yeah, and you know what yesterday
46:06.990 --> 46:12.056
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it was a blowout, but yesterday was a tough game to manage when you lose your third basement.
46:12.376 --> 46:17.862
[SPEAKER_03]: When your third basement is DH and you have to manage, when do I pull him and put him at third base?
46:17.922 --> 46:19.224
[SPEAKER_03]: How do I get through with the pitchers?
46:20.125 --> 46:20.665
[SPEAKER_03]: So I get that.
46:20.726 --> 46:23.749
[SPEAKER_03]: It's good that it was a blowout, but that would have been a tough game to manage.
46:24.345 --> 46:24.525
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
46:25.386 --> 46:26.106
[SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting.
46:26.306 --> 46:33.311
[SPEAKER_00]: Ward has played, I didn't hear Albus comments on why to verse, because Ward came up as a third basement and then moved to the outfield.
46:33.391 --> 46:36.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So he would have been the logical guy to have third, but I'm not sure.
46:36.673 --> 46:39.895
[SPEAKER_03]: But I guess you were more concerned about getting a ball getting away in the outfield.
46:39.975 --> 46:40.355
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
46:40.815 --> 46:47.299
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the only thing that the Dodger series and the angels, the only thing that irritates me about this team, because they're playing so well, it's hard to get irritated.
46:48.520 --> 46:53.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there challenge decisions on what the balls and the count that they're challenging in?
46:53.565 --> 47:01.692
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, there must have been a pre-game conversation yesterday about hey, this umpsox or something because they challenge so early so fast.
47:01.919 --> 47:12.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this went to the Dodger series too, and there was like a two old count in the early endings that cows are challenged, what are you doing, telling a two old count if it's not a, and that's what I want to say about any of these challenges.
47:13.253 --> 47:18.779
[SPEAKER_03]: If it's not a strike three, why are you challenging it or a ball four?
47:19.540 --> 47:40.375
[SPEAKER_00]: if you think it's ball four challenge if it's really even then because then if you're early in it because it's another pitch and we saw this in the game with the answer there was a couple like really obvious cause there was one obvious call he missed that would have been an easy challenge but you didn't have the challenge and the other thing I think that's that is I think it's not a coincidence
47:41.155 --> 47:44.659
[SPEAKER_00]: that since Adley's been out, the challenge has been a lot worse.
47:44.679 --> 47:55.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Adley, by far, is the best at challenge as Munger catchers, is the best at knowing when to challenge both situationally and knowing his balls and strikes.
47:55.732 --> 47:58.976
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, which is interesting because he's also the best pitchframer.
47:59.376 --> 48:01.619
[SPEAKER_03]: He's best at yanking that ball back in before the up.
48:02.007 --> 48:14.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but doesn't it feel like now Josh the new skill set that catchers need to have is knowing the strike zone and what's about 100% because pitchframence going away Right because the challenges are here to stay exactly.
48:14.691 --> 48:21.433
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're just going to get more or get go fully electronic one day Yeah, no, I think we'll stick with the challenges for a while though
48:21.879 --> 48:36.253
[SPEAKER_03]: well yeah we will yeah so that's we need out of the back of for nothing us and to challenge oh and we are concussion getting hit in the ear and uh but at least it wasn't even thrown that hard I'm surprised even with the right amount
48:37.568 --> 48:51.416
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but it's the, it's, hopefully we can, if we can sweep this angel series, I mean that's going to get us what two games below 500 and really like making a push again.
48:52.356 --> 48:53.657
[SPEAKER_03]: Really start to get people's attention.
48:54.532 --> 49:05.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and if Brad is in Rodgers, I mean, I'm really paying attention to Rodgers next start because I he might have turned the corner and if he can be like it was last year along with Bradish, how he's pitching, I mean, that gives us a pretty one good one to punch.
49:06.722 --> 49:08.823
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, what's your happens there?
49:09.944 --> 49:13.647
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we've got Baz and Gibson for the next for these two games.
49:14.279 --> 49:16.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think Bazz is good.
49:16.981 --> 49:18.142
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's been pitching well.
49:21.305 --> 49:23.166
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an interesting start last time at Gibson.
49:23.186 --> 49:24.307
[SPEAKER_00]: We had the bad first inning.
49:24.327 --> 49:25.488
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's you see a lot of pictures.
49:25.508 --> 49:27.109
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they figure out their pitches and get a lot better.
49:27.129 --> 49:33.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it sounds like Josh once Kramer who pitched, I think he just pitched the other day for Norfolk.
49:34.255 --> 49:42.798
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, povitch pissed yesterday or on sunday for the bass acts, I think went to Wells comes back and seems like Gibson will be the guy to go.
49:43.999 --> 49:46.520
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we'll see how it gets in less Gibson.
49:46.560 --> 49:46.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
49:46.700 --> 49:47.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is extremely well.
49:47.480 --> 49:57.004
[SPEAKER_03]: Then it's also that time of the season where you could go to a six man and try to get people more rest to try to get through the season or move
50:00.006 --> 50:03.107
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, yeah, it's just a couple more starts before the All-Star break.
50:03.127 --> 50:09.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you can do funny stuff where he can go Norfolk during the All-Star Yeah, exactly after like you can get really creative and fun with it now.
50:09.231 --> 50:13.434
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so we have this Angel series then we have the Nationals We're playing good ball.
50:13.574 --> 50:14.294
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the white.
50:14.334 --> 50:16.936
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it isn't the white socks and the cubs after that.
50:17.116 --> 50:25.701
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe So all all games that are all teams that are well, they're good, but they're also around the same as us record wise
50:26.490 --> 50:28.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I would argue that we have better rosters.
50:29.392 --> 50:30.912
[SPEAKER_00]: We did all those teams.
50:30.932 --> 50:31.113
[SPEAKER_00]: We did.
50:31.133 --> 50:32.073
[SPEAKER_03]: We have underperformed.
50:32.673 --> 50:32.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:33.734 --> 50:36.275
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, what do you mean to ask you about this?
50:36.355 --> 50:37.756
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going on for a while.
50:38.356 --> 50:40.638
[SPEAKER_00]: This is based on, this is based by related, all right?
50:41.058 --> 50:41.478
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
50:41.758 --> 50:42.779
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going on for a while.
50:42.839 --> 50:44.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just, we haven't talked about it all.
50:45.240 --> 50:46.701
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you enjoyed that Orioles talk.
50:47.141 --> 51:00.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time I see it I think that oh this must be granting your gears because and I think it's fun But I think oh somewhere Josh is shaking his fest because it's baseball fans at the game having fun What do you thoughts and all these shirtless guys in the outfield?
51:00.468 --> 51:03.249
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the right across the the what is it tarps off?
51:04.610 --> 51:15.415
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, tarps off Tarps off ever runs to the spot in the bleachers or something and I like it you like it I'm surprised well here because young people are excited and they're excited about real baseball
51:15.856 --> 51:20.179
[SPEAKER_00]: Even in a close game, are they painful attention to the game where they just trying to get on camera, Josh?
51:20.499 --> 51:21.640
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell them what you really think.
51:21.660 --> 51:25.443
[SPEAKER_03]: Well hold on, I don't think they do it unless you're like, it's a close game and you're trying to come back, right?
51:26.424 --> 51:27.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, is that I'm going to do it?
51:27.324 --> 51:28.065
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a blowout.
51:28.145 --> 51:29.106
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a rally cap.
51:30.287 --> 51:32.388
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't aware of how it was used.
51:32.448 --> 51:34.850
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like a new rally cap type thing or a celebration.
51:35.550 --> 51:35.811
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
51:36.031 --> 51:37.212
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm cool with that.
51:38.873 --> 51:40.394
[SPEAKER_00]: The first thing I saw was in Miami.
51:40.414 --> 51:41.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Did it start in Miami?
51:41.455 --> 51:43.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know the origins of the tarps off?
51:44.486 --> 51:46.508
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe it started it with a soccer match.
51:47.169 --> 51:48.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's a soccer thing.
51:50.112 --> 51:51.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that mean I thought it was more?
51:51.433 --> 51:55.177
[SPEAKER_03]: And I thought it was St. Louis, let's see.
51:55.237 --> 52:03.025
[SPEAKER_03]: Group of college club baseball players visiting St. Louis decided to take their shirts off and upper right field bleachers to energize a sleepy crowd.
52:03.766 --> 52:05.668
[SPEAKER_03]: It is so much better than the wave.
52:09.305 --> 52:31.567
[SPEAKER_03]: The Dodgers had the wave going on early in the game and here's what happened in that game first game The crowd got all excited with the tarps off guys and the Cardinals then rallied for a walk off wind So the team got to keep it up so then the manager in the post game praised those guys with the tarps off We're waking up the crowd and the team to get that win
52:32.047 --> 52:33.148
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's where it comes from.
52:33.428 --> 52:34.568
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why I'm all in on it.
52:34.688 --> 52:41.832
[SPEAKER_03]: Plus it's celebrating real baseball, not this banana ball or cosmic ball or what there's a third one now I've seen.
52:42.112 --> 52:46.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at Josh, speak so speak so negatively towards it.
52:46.094 --> 52:48.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he's the guy in the first row in all these games.
52:48.575 --> 52:48.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
52:48.895 --> 52:49.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh.
52:49.956 --> 52:50.856
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a 12-year-old.
52:50.876 --> 52:51.797
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
52:52.257 --> 52:53.137
[SPEAKER_03]: I have two 12-year-olds.
52:53.277 --> 52:54.358
[SPEAKER_03]: So I go to these things.
52:54.898 --> 52:56.299
[SPEAKER_03]: But I will speak negative about them.
52:57.032 --> 52:59.133
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you mentioned the, the soccer fans.
52:59.153 --> 53:00.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you're aware of this.
53:00.694 --> 53:01.815
[SPEAKER_00]: The World Cup is coming on.
53:01.955 --> 53:03.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Happening in the United States right now.
53:03.595 --> 53:04.056
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm working.
53:04.456 --> 53:05.757
[SPEAKER_00]: What would your rather have Josh?
53:06.437 --> 53:10.579
[SPEAKER_00]: The United States, who are big underdogs, but I've played really well the first few games.
53:11.039 --> 53:19.844
[SPEAKER_00]: Would your rather the United States win the World Cup against the world or the Orioles win a World Series?
53:19.984 --> 53:20.925
[SPEAKER_00]: What would mean more to you?
53:21.305 --> 53:25.567
[SPEAKER_00]: A United States World Cup or a little Baltimore World Series?
53:27.289 --> 53:32.674
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I am up to speed that the U.S.A. soccer team has won two games.
53:33.155 --> 53:35.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, they just be Australia to go to now.
53:35.557 --> 53:39.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're going to make it out of their first little, I don't know what you call it, first bundle.
53:39.501 --> 53:45.207
[SPEAKER_03]: And I am familiar that on Saturday, you could go to stake in shaking to get a 20 cent milkshake thanks to that second win.
53:45.689 --> 53:46.550
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not aware of that.
53:46.930 --> 53:48.431
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have a local stake in shakes.
53:48.531 --> 53:51.073
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, there's not up here where I'm at either.
53:51.113 --> 53:51.934
[SPEAKER_03]: So it didn't help me.
53:53.015 --> 53:57.819
[SPEAKER_03]: But um, they could win the next, they could win the next five games.
53:58.559 --> 53:58.739
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
53:59.140 --> 54:02.162
[SPEAKER_03]: And I still won't care as much as the Orioles making the playoffs.
54:03.083 --> 54:08.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Making the play, you would rather order me to play off than the USA win the World Cup 100%.
54:09.568 --> 54:10.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my goodness.
54:10.589 --> 54:11.970
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you saying you have World Cup fever?
54:11.990 --> 54:12.310
[SPEAKER_03]: You haven't
54:13.844 --> 54:15.765
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched some of the U.S.A. Australia match.
54:15.945 --> 54:17.386
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watched clips too.
54:18.027 --> 54:18.547
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that.
54:18.567 --> 54:19.768
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched a bit live.
54:20.689 --> 54:24.771
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watched messy and his hat trick.
54:24.931 --> 54:26.272
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw all the clips.
54:26.652 --> 54:28.954
[SPEAKER_03]: I watched a little bit of the Netherlands game live.
54:29.534 --> 54:33.077
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, last night, I watched a little bit of the left of the Netherlands game live.
54:33.437 --> 54:36.159
[SPEAKER_03]: So a couple clips live as I walked past the television.
54:36.939 --> 54:38.360
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you turn it off and turn on the rooster.
54:38.740 --> 54:39.741
[SPEAKER_03]: There's other people watching.
54:39.781 --> 54:40.582
[SPEAKER_03]: I just left the room.
54:40.642 --> 54:40.902
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
54:41.674 --> 54:48.377
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm excited for the USA and I'm rooting for the USA, but yeah, obviously give me a world series and yeah, I'll be with you, prodigy, you can play out with parents.
54:48.697 --> 54:53.159
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't more about the Oreos sweep in the angels than the World Cup.
54:53.399 --> 54:54.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I want to go that far.
54:54.359 --> 54:54.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go that far.
54:54.959 --> 54:55.680
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go that far.
54:55.700 --> 54:56.560
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me a sweep.
54:57.040 --> 54:57.581
[SPEAKER_03]: I would take.
54:57.781 --> 55:00.302
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys, it's World Cup over a sweep.
55:00.702 --> 55:01.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I would do that.
55:02.643 --> 55:04.383
[SPEAKER_00]: That's far as I'll go though.
55:04.503 --> 55:08.505
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll take Gunner, Gunner hit in 200 runs tonight over the World Cup.
55:09.473 --> 55:11.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, all right, I'm sorry even approach this subject.
55:12.036 --> 55:17.282
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, I don't care about soccer I know, but this is not just soccer Josh.
55:17.742 --> 55:19.244
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the Olympics is different.

[SPEAKER_00]: He was drunk.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
56:23.427 --> 56:23.567
[SPEAKER_03]: He did.
56:23.587 --> 56:23.827
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
56:23.847 --> 56:24.087
[SPEAKER_03]: He did.
56:24.287 --> 56:24.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
56:24.428 --> 56:24.568
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:24.588 --> 56:24.788
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:24.808 --> 56:25.108
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:25.568 --> 56:25.789
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:25.809 --> 56:25.949
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:25.969 --> 56:26.109
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.129 --> 56:26.369
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.389 --> 56:26.569
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.589 --> 56:26.830
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.870 --> 56:27.090
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:27.150 --> 56:27.330
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:27.350 --> 56:27.790
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:27.810 --> 56:28.011
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:28.031 --> 56:28.291
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:29.482 --> 56:30.463
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've read it.
56:31.384 --> 56:36.070
[SPEAKER_03]: I stand by my theory that this all gets settled.
56:36.110 --> 56:38.493
[SPEAKER_03]: If the Dodgers win the World Series, there's no lockout.
56:38.813 --> 56:41.176
[SPEAKER_03]: If the Dodgers do not win the World Series, there's a lockout.
56:42.197 --> 56:43.298
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll get the simple set.
56:43.759 --> 56:47.743
[SPEAKER_00]: It does make me happy that we saw the Dodgers play and Cal Tucker's stinks.
56:48.324 --> 56:50.386
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is the guy that calls so much drama.
56:50.747 --> 56:56.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the Dodgers just destroying baseball because they signed Cal Tucker and Cal Tucker's terrible.
56:56.513 --> 57:01.718
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's people say this could, if he continues this way, it could be the worst contract in Chris Davis.
57:02.299 --> 57:03.400
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:04.181 --> 57:10.508
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Major League Baseball cannot be serious with their responses to the Player's Association.
57:12.155 --> 57:16.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, although our partners want, they're insane asks.
57:16.117 --> 57:16.877
[SPEAKER_00]: They're ridiculous.
57:17.317 --> 57:20.799
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's as simple as a kid's ain't no, no, no, no, no, no.
57:21.119 --> 57:21.919
[SPEAKER_03]: They're ridiculous.
57:22.340 --> 57:22.580
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:22.960 --> 57:24.201
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's not, it's not real.
57:24.681 --> 57:30.443
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're saying no, so then that when they give up some of it, it looks like they're the good guys when they're not right.
57:30.743 --> 57:33.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Because, yeah, I agree that's what they're doing.
57:33.685 --> 57:36.266
[SPEAKER_00]: But to me, the ask seems so insane.
57:36.666 --> 57:36.866
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:37.547 --> 57:40.468
[SPEAKER_00]: That it does, it's not even a good starting point.
57:41.724 --> 57:50.456
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they want to eliminate high school players coming out, eliminate the international player signing, make everyone go to college and the draft.
57:50.916 --> 57:51.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
57:51.377 --> 57:54.041
[SPEAKER_03]: Like is that because they want to get rid of minor league baseball?
57:54.441 --> 57:55.362
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
57:55.382 --> 57:59.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they want to save money because they don't want to pay for all these minor league teams.
57:59.688 --> 58:03.212
[SPEAKER_00]: B, if you wait for players to come out of college, what happens?
58:03.572 --> 58:07.115
[SPEAKER_00]: It means they reach for agency later in their career.
58:07.336 --> 58:07.536
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
58:07.556 --> 58:09.918
[SPEAKER_00]: So you don't have any 23, 24, 24, 25 year olds.
58:09.938 --> 58:10.759
[SPEAKER_00]: They're all 30.
58:11.079 --> 58:11.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're more developed.
58:11.840 --> 58:12.761
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're more developed.
58:12.981 --> 58:13.902
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're more developed.
58:13.962 --> 58:14.923
[SPEAKER_03]: So you know what you're getting.
58:15.213 --> 58:29.676
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, high school, yeah, you don't need to develop in an afternoon, but it's something that's so ridiculous and such a change that it's like, oh, yeah, we'll put this in here, so then when we give that up, it looks like we gave something up when we really gave nothing up.
58:30.136 --> 58:38.378
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm surprised Rubenstein would be for international draft when he's just spent millions of dollars on that new facility to, to, to, to, you know,
58:42.356 --> 58:45.419
[SPEAKER_03]: Could you imagine a major league baseball got rid of minor league baseball?
58:45.879 --> 58:47.661
[SPEAKER_03]: It would change so much stuff.
58:48.582 --> 58:49.603
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
58:50.023 --> 58:54.808
[SPEAKER_03]: It's ridiculous, it's nothing that could ever really happen, and it's so just silly.
58:55.943 --> 58:57.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
58:57.986 --> 59:02.812
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but it also, you hear that and you think, oh, man, there's going to be a lack out, right?
59:02.832 --> 59:04.293
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if that's where the owners are starting.
59:04.434 --> 59:07.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and then they say, oh, we'll take away the international draft.
59:07.477 --> 59:07.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
59:07.938 --> 59:09.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, though, well, then that's not a starting point at all.
59:10.321 --> 59:15.247
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and I worry that this is going to, there's so far apart that I worry about this down the road.
59:15.850 --> 59:21.714
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think baseball can handle, I can afford a lockout.
59:22.535 --> 59:23.095
[SPEAKER_03]: Baseball?
59:23.536 --> 59:26.197
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you've noticed, but there's more excitement about baseball.
59:26.958 --> 59:30.721
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, baseball went down and now it's really definitely on the upswing.
59:31.061 --> 59:32.242
[SPEAKER_03]: Kids are back in the baseball.
59:32.262 --> 59:33.643
[SPEAKER_03]: You're seeing more people go to games.
59:33.963 --> 59:35.424
[SPEAKER_03]: You're seeing TV radians go up.
59:35.884 --> 59:37.365
[SPEAKER_03]: People are caring about baseball.
59:37.385 --> 59:38.406
[SPEAKER_03]: They're stars again.
59:38.967 --> 59:50.395
[SPEAKER_03]: We went forever where it felt like we didn't have big stars in baseball And we've got some now people know O'Connie, whether you watch baseball or not people know Deans and scuba people know these names.
59:50.856 --> 59:56.920
[SPEAKER_03]: That's we haven't had that many years so baseball can't afford to break again
59:57.961 --> 01:00:06.543
[SPEAKER_03]: It really took Cal Ripkin in the street to bring people back in the baseball after the last one and then there's nothing on the horizon like that to save baseball.
01:00:07.058 --> 01:00:07.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.
01:00:08.098 --> 01:00:09.779
[SPEAKER_00]: And you mentioned some of these really great young players.
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:13.380
[SPEAKER_00]: You did mention Jacob mid mid mid mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid.
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:14.840
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I'm not even following him at all, Josh.
01:00:15.200 --> 01:00:20.741
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that book we read a while ago about the guy who was throwing like 105 and they were talking about like change the rules because he can't throw that hard.
01:00:20.861 --> 01:00:22.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like the, uh, the author.
01:00:22.922 --> 01:00:25.322
[SPEAKER_03]: The, the, the, like the flaster, all those are flamethrowers.
01:00:25.342 --> 01:00:26.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the fastball maybe.
01:00:26.923 --> 01:00:29.984
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew that reminds me of this, that was kind of previewing.
01:00:30.284 --> 01:00:30.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:00:30.864 --> 01:00:35.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because he's out there throwing 104 and the fifth inning, like it's nothing.
01:00:36.603 --> 01:00:43.847
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it is and that's one where like that's the name people don't know that if you don't know baseball But if you watch baseball, you know that name.
01:00:44.107 --> 01:00:54.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but then it's season to get everyone to know So but yeah, no, I agree and this is I mean other sports are up to I mean the NBA just had a great final They're ready through through the roof.
01:00:54.593 --> 01:01:01.337
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and so the competitions out there for baseball So I agree they they they can't afford to lose grand elism momentum.
01:01:01.477 --> 01:01:04.259
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, have you seen the changes to the home on Derby?
01:01:06.421 --> 01:01:09.022
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that, something like they get 20 pitches or something?
01:01:09.203 --> 01:01:12.425
[SPEAKER_03]: No, instead of pitches, it's now 20 swings.
01:01:12.785 --> 01:01:13.486
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 20 swings.
01:01:13.526 --> 01:01:13.866
[SPEAKER_03]: So what?
01:01:13.926 --> 01:01:14.827
[SPEAKER_03]: I compete for.
01:01:15.107 --> 01:01:16.067
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it used to be timed.
01:01:16.628 --> 01:01:22.032
[SPEAKER_03]: Now you get 20 swings in the first round and 15 in the second and final round.
01:01:22.732 --> 01:01:24.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I guess I'm okay with that.
01:01:24.693 --> 01:01:25.394
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm all right with it.
01:01:25.594 --> 01:01:41.304
[SPEAKER_03]: It's I think it's too short net But I like and it there's some wiggle room there with how fast the pitcher can kind of throw that I Only look weird and it seems like it's healthier for the player To be able to like do is normal approach and not swing as fast as I can every time
01:01:41.929 --> 01:01:42.209
[SPEAKER_00]: right.
01:01:42.909 --> 01:01:43.590
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see.
01:01:44.010 --> 01:01:45.030
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just a great event.
01:01:45.070 --> 01:01:46.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to the home and Derby.
01:01:47.011 --> 01:01:47.211
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
01:01:47.411 --> 01:01:48.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Hope Peter loves us in there, right?
01:01:49.512 --> 01:01:51.912
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's fun seeing him dominate for the match.
01:01:52.453 --> 01:01:55.413
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would think you and you have to invite Peter on.
01:01:55.434 --> 01:01:57.154
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm so.
01:01:58.675 --> 01:02:02.096
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, who's the kind of one at last year?
01:02:02.596 --> 01:02:04.537
[SPEAKER_03]: The big dumpper or whatever.
01:02:04.557 --> 01:02:05.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Colorado here.
01:02:06.313 --> 01:02:09.235
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I believe his stats suck this year.
01:02:09.475 --> 01:02:14.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what he just, yeah, but he had a oblique injury or something or remember, he just came back.
01:02:14.737 --> 01:02:20.460
[SPEAKER_00]: His first game back was against the oils and he, and so people saying maybe the injury was a reason he was off to a really bad start.
01:02:21.301 --> 01:02:23.942
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, but yeah, he's not going to, I don't think he's going to be in the home run.
01:02:24.122 --> 01:02:24.903
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to be in the home.
01:02:24.923 --> 01:02:27.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Derby, or the author game based on this year.
01:02:27.684 --> 01:02:32.427
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, they, I don't know if they automatically invite the person that wanted the previous year.
01:02:33.237 --> 01:02:36.947
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought you would do it coming back from injury just to you wouldn't think we could go.
01:02:36.967 --> 01:02:37.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
01:02:38.070 --> 01:02:38.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't seem like a smart man.
01:02:41.299 --> 01:02:41.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright.
01:02:43.263 --> 01:02:43.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back to section three, three, six.

[SPEAKER_00]: Next generation of Baltimore Sports Talk.
00:41.221 --> 00:42.782
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your engineering host, Matt Sworkah.
00:43.242 --> 00:51.347
[SPEAKER_00]: As always, I'm joined by a guy who, in solidarity to the Oreos going on their road trip, has gone on a road trip himself, the button lever Josh Sworkah.
00:51.587 --> 01:02.293
[SPEAKER_03]: I am, I'm up in New Jersey for my weekly yearly trip to New Jersey and you're wearing that city connect hat that makes me jealous, because I got to get that one.
01:03.253 --> 01:05.416
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I got the T-shirt too now.
01:06.178 --> 01:08.161
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're what player?
01:08.181 --> 01:11.305
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there a player on the bottom of that?
01:11.626 --> 01:12.627
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the green shirt.
01:13.028 --> 01:13.248
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
01:13.709 --> 01:14.810
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I've got that in the other room.
01:14.871 --> 01:15.471
[SPEAKER_03]: Should I change?
01:15.491 --> 01:16.213
[SPEAKER_03]: So we match.
01:16.753 --> 01:17.715
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Father's Day gift.
01:18.228 --> 01:25.669
[SPEAKER_03]: Nice, I, I, I, I was having a conversation with someone yesterday about how the Orioles really did kill it with the city connects this year.
01:26.210 --> 01:26.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're great.
01:27.190 --> 01:32.171
[SPEAKER_03]: That there, as anyone, I know there's people that don't like it and people say, oh, the old ones were better, you're wrong.
01:32.871 --> 01:33.251
[SPEAKER_03]: They're wrong.
01:33.371 --> 01:44.953
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're a lifelong Orioles fan, if you've been a fan forever, this kills it, because the stadium, it represents the stadium so well, and that stadium means so much to Orioles fandom.
01:45.863 --> 01:55.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it seems to have a lot more meaning connection than the last Yes, yes But I'm already looking forward to city connect twenty twenty nine.
01:55.606 --> 01:56.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to have a story.
01:56.926 --> 01:58.066
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's every three years.
01:58.186 --> 02:04.308
[SPEAKER_03]: So I guess that would be twenty twenty nine Well, yeah, we'll have to see what it was.
02:04.528 --> 02:07.029
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, the Orioles are 38 and 42.
02:07.809 --> 02:09.249
[SPEAKER_03]: They've won three games in a row.
02:09.850 --> 02:11.010
[SPEAKER_03]: But my question for you is
02:13.265 --> 02:18.126
[SPEAKER_03]: Have they been above or below 500 since the last time we did our podcast?
02:19.407 --> 02:20.007
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they didn't.
02:20.407 --> 02:24.448
[SPEAKER_00]: They haven't been above since we talked last.
02:24.568 --> 02:28.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no, no, no, no, just in the games that has happened.
02:29.590 --> 02:30.410
[SPEAKER_00]: You're saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:30.430 --> 02:31.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Just in that sample size.
02:31.550 --> 02:32.551
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that sample size.
02:32.811 --> 02:35.472
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe it's June six was our last podcast.
02:35.752 --> 02:37.172
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like they were June 23rd.
02:37.612 --> 02:38.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
02:38.553 --> 02:39.813
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think the record was?
02:40.958 --> 02:43.058
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably right around 500.
02:43.138 --> 02:50.680
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we were talking about theories of where they could get above 500 last time and so I would guess we were kind of right at 500 last time.
02:50.700 --> 03:05.042
[SPEAKER_03]: It's awesome I talked and you're right I've got the graphic right here when we last spoke they were 29 and 33 on June 4th yeah And now they're 38 and 42 exactly 500 for the past whatever two at three weeks.
03:05.623 --> 03:07.723
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's it's this season a nutshell
03:08.132 --> 03:15.156
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's also like, what's so irritating about waste in April, is doing so bad in April.
03:15.476 --> 03:19.839
[SPEAKER_03]: If you were above 500 and then you continue to play 500 ball, you're excited.
03:20.519 --> 03:24.942
[SPEAKER_03]: Instead you look at that 500 ball and you look at the stupid games we should have won.
03:26.122 --> 03:26.943
[SPEAKER_03]: That would have put us up.
03:27.772 --> 03:31.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, we got a lot to get to, we haven't talked in a while.
03:32.015 --> 03:38.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I have a whole list of topics that I've not done with baseball, but you want to talk or else, so we can talk or else.
03:38.220 --> 03:47.347
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this show doesn't exist without us going into other things, but we are two games out of the wild card because the American League sucks this year.
03:48.007 --> 03:48.728
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's okay.
03:49.168 --> 03:54.172
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's like buckle up, we talked about this last time, but it's gonna be so fascinating because
03:54.732 --> 04:11.580
[SPEAKER_00]: There's us, I mean, just take that whole clump of the twins, the Rangers, the Blue Jays, the Red Sox, there's a whole clump of teams, the Tigers who need the White Sox, who need to decide in the next month and a half if they're going to board next month, really, if they're going to be buyers or sellers.
04:12.280 --> 04:18.764
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it's gonna be fascinating to watch over the next month because the next month matters so much for all these franchises.
04:18.884 --> 04:22.366
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't actually say go, so I can't wait, it's gonna be exciting baseball next month.
04:22.386 --> 04:28.710
[SPEAKER_03]: The worst team in the American League is the Los Angeles Sanjules, and they are eight games out of the wild card.
04:29.312 --> 04:31.433
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and if they would five in a row, they're back in it.
04:31.693 --> 04:32.433
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly.
04:32.553 --> 04:34.834
[SPEAKER_00]: That team is like a five five game win streak being.
04:35.734 --> 04:43.277
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why I really don't know if any, I can't look and say anyone right now in the American League are sellers.
04:45.378 --> 04:47.779
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe the Rockies and the Giants on the National League.
04:48.879 --> 04:52.561
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but that then actually is so different because of the Dodgers.
04:53.201 --> 04:53.961
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we'll see.
04:54.021 --> 04:56.862
[SPEAKER_00]: I bet a month from now we'll have to see in conversation and they'll be
04:58.897 --> 05:02.260
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll see, I hope so, as long as the Orioles are not on that cell list.
05:02.641 --> 05:04.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, it should be good.
05:04.623 --> 05:18.237
[SPEAKER_00]: No, the problem is, Josh, my summer schedule, I don't know, you may be your schedule, less affected, because your kids are a little bit older, and you work from home, my summer schedule is just so out of whack.
05:18.777 --> 05:21.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm teaching some of classes, but Emily's working a lot.
05:21.538 --> 05:25.659
[SPEAKER_00]: I have very little interaction with other adults now, as well.
05:26.740 --> 05:28.981
[SPEAKER_00]: And now we have to do this podcast on a regular basis.
05:29.461 --> 05:30.861
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, I have the interactions with them.
05:30.881 --> 05:33.602
[SPEAKER_03]: I really want to, I really want to get this podcast back to weekly.
05:34.102 --> 05:34.343
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
05:34.563 --> 05:35.543
[SPEAKER_03]: It's been so crazy.
05:37.224 --> 05:43.726
[SPEAKER_03]: Summers weird and summer, here's a good, here's how I can explain my summer to you.
05:44.486 --> 05:46.687
[SPEAKER_03]: I left my house last Thursday.
05:47.730 --> 05:51.231
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, yeah, I don't return to my home until like July 6.
05:51.251 --> 05:53.072
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's crazy.
05:53.432 --> 06:11.438
[SPEAKER_03]: So I am, and, and because like you said with, as the kids get older, the schedules, you would think it easier, but they get more complicated, because now, I'm on this trip here by myself, because it's just so hard and complicated with summer schedules and kids.
06:12.148 --> 06:21.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no it is and I'm still teaching two classes but then Emily is working more so I have more responsibility with with the kiddos and then trying to squeeze that's actually
06:22.792 --> 06:39.425
[SPEAKER_00]: Summer is a lot more stressful because there's no routine kind of every day is a different adventure I still haven't figured out how to No, no, not yet my summer you're right because you get in that routine of drop the kids off at school kids come home at this time Now it's a hot you'd figure it out.
06:39.746 --> 06:42.207
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah summer is crazy and here we are
06:43.448 --> 06:45.289
[SPEAKER_03]: My I don't your kids got out.
06:45.329 --> 06:47.290
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the same time is made around Memorial Day.
06:47.530 --> 06:49.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they've been so I feel like for a year now.
06:49.571 --> 07:00.656
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so my kids are a month into Summer break and then I went and saw I went watch one of Albee's little league games or travel ball games whatever on Sunday.
07:00.796 --> 07:02.777
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh nice to stingers And the stingers.
07:02.797 --> 07:12.142
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so and they just handed school like Thursday So it's like they are just getting into the summer routine and I know summer's all screwed up already
07:12.651 --> 07:28.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm teaching a course for Salasbury and so all the Maryland teachers and we've had we this is our third or fourth week now and I'm like guys here's how much time you should be spending with me and they're like, Dr. Sbroke, we're still working we're still working we're still working.
07:29.040 --> 07:30.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Why are you still teaching?
07:30.101 --> 07:30.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Get done already.
07:32.142 --> 07:32.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Summer is here.
07:33.823 --> 07:37.625
[SPEAKER_00]: It's wild how much later they stay down here in the south.
07:38.534 --> 08:02.957
[SPEAKER_03]: yeah it's it's definitely now it's they're gonna they don't go back until like September and we start the beginning of August so balance is out yeah but it does throw me off right now as I'm up in New Jersey with a bunch of people who just ended the school year like this past week yeah yeah when did you lock row of middle school camp one day Josh this is my 2050 year so I am I've been here long enough
08:03.776 --> 08:11.423
[SPEAKER_03]: that the kids who were here, my first year, have had their own kids who are now here this year.
08:13.364 --> 08:16.027
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think I will outgrow it at some point.
08:16.707 --> 08:17.908
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
08:17.928 --> 08:24.194
[SPEAKER_03]: You know what, 25 years means, I'm waiting for them to fire me and they're waiting for me to quit and it's like a staring contest.
08:24.640 --> 08:27.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, it's already it's dude dude.
08:28.003 --> 08:29.624
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they even tell you about it anymore?
08:29.644 --> 08:30.304
[SPEAKER_00]: You just show up.
08:30.725 --> 08:34.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you properly invited or you just kind of arrive and it's gonna be there?
08:35.649 --> 08:36.809
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not much of an invite.
08:36.830 --> 08:39.151
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like it's one day.
08:39.191 --> 08:44.736
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna show up and they're not going to say anything to me And I'm just not going to get paid because I wasn't supposed to be here.
08:44.776 --> 08:46.897
[SPEAKER_00]: And there'll be another video I'll go for right next to you.
08:46.937 --> 08:47.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Shoot in the back.
08:47.558 --> 08:47.798
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
08:48.198 --> 08:48.759
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
08:49.259 --> 08:51.240
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's how it's going to end so far.
08:51.400 --> 08:51.781
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm here.
08:52.061 --> 08:53.181
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm told a checks in the mail.
08:53.482 --> 08:54.642
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'll keep coming.
08:55.122 --> 08:55.663
[SPEAKER_00]: It never ends.
08:55.903 --> 08:57.684
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, um, hey, I'd notice this too.
08:57.704 --> 08:58.244
[SPEAKER_00]: Have you noticed this?
08:58.604 --> 09:02.887
[SPEAKER_00]: I have this in my, I have some, I was thinking about this too, with no one to talk to.
09:03.287 --> 09:06.289
[SPEAKER_00]: My shampoo lasts an incredibly long amount of time.
09:06.649 --> 09:07.910
[SPEAKER_00]: I want this big shampoo.
09:07.970 --> 09:08.210
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
09:08.410 --> 09:10.171
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like this thing has been in there for years.
09:10.231 --> 09:11.472
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I'm not using correctly.
09:11.672 --> 09:12.793
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I should have run out by now.
09:13.614 --> 09:16.315
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the three and one, you do the three and one, Josh.
09:16.796 --> 09:19.157
[SPEAKER_00]: It's your poo, conditioner, body wash.
09:19.717 --> 09:20.198
[SPEAKER_00]: The odor, right?
09:20.218 --> 09:20.818
[SPEAKER_00]: It's all in one.
09:21.098 --> 09:23.539
[SPEAKER_00]: It might be toothpaste too, I don't know.
09:24.060 --> 09:24.360
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
09:24.480 --> 09:25.800
[SPEAKER_03]: How often do you wash your hair?
09:26.641 --> 09:27.161
[SPEAKER_00]: Hi, every day.
09:28.162 --> 09:29.422
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll see you're not supposed to do that.
09:29.582 --> 09:31.203
[SPEAKER_03]: You're not supposed to do that every day.
09:32.164 --> 09:32.364
[SPEAKER_03]: Really?
09:32.384 --> 09:32.824
[SPEAKER_03]: It feels your hair.
09:33.585 --> 09:36.246
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I actually use shampoo once a week.
09:36.989 --> 09:38.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my, that's, I think you're making that up.
09:39.011 --> 09:41.755
[SPEAKER_03]: He showed me that's what my barber told me.
09:41.995 --> 09:42.836
[SPEAKER_03]: Your barber, exactly.
09:42.856 --> 09:44.318
[SPEAKER_00]: You did lace from your hair?
09:44.918 --> 09:46.180
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like that's what you go to.
09:46.280 --> 09:46.841
[SPEAKER_03]: A doctor?
09:46.981 --> 09:47.742
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, doctor.
09:48.082 --> 09:49.364
[SPEAKER_03]: No, that's my hair expert.
09:49.644 --> 09:52.027
[SPEAKER_00]: No, this is the hair and extension of your body.
09:52.447 --> 09:59.211
[SPEAKER_00]: If I have questions about maintaining the health of my body, I'm going to a doctor, I'm not going to a barber.
09:59.611 --> 10:06.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Do I get, do I get advice from your feet from your, I know you like to go to the, the foot manicure people.
10:06.995 --> 10:08.596
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you go there for foot advice?
10:08.956 --> 10:09.956
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, healthy feet.
10:10.397 --> 10:12.118
[SPEAKER_00]: If, if my, if my pet is.
10:12.478 --> 10:17.600
[SPEAKER_03]: If my petacurus would like to tell me something to do with my toenails, I will trust them because they see a lot of toenails.
10:18.701 --> 10:26.830
[SPEAKER_03]: But no, I trust this, have you, when you go to your doctor's appointment, when you go to your yearly checkup, do they ever inspect your hair?
10:27.550 --> 10:41.485
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I skipped my last yearly checkup, but since then, no, they never, they never, but my hair doesn't look at how, if my hair started looking healthy or something, I would probably ask, why is my hair wacky?
10:43.440 --> 10:44.141
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
10:44.401 --> 10:44.682
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
10:45.182 --> 10:47.385
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, my barber, I'm taking my barber's advice.
10:47.425 --> 10:48.387
[SPEAKER_03]: You do, you do, you do, you do.
10:48.687 --> 10:49.007
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
10:49.208 --> 10:50.329
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll do me, you do you.
10:50.650 --> 10:51.110
[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
10:51.551 --> 10:56.157
[SPEAKER_03]: I trust my doctor for my blood pressure medicine and my barber for my hair.
10:56.917 --> 11:05.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, Josh and and good and good for you because you usually are pretty skeptical of authority and what they say I choose to do my own research.
11:05.899 --> 11:06.839
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't listen to your barber.
11:07.579 --> 11:09.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, do you know what else is kind of a rip off?
11:10.060 --> 11:11.140
[SPEAKER_00]: Who I don't trust anymore?
11:11.380 --> 11:15.181
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's kind of an oil is this an oil podcast I just think it's enough of my chest.
11:15.241 --> 11:16.221
[SPEAKER_03]: That's been all by himself.
11:16.301 --> 11:19.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's to get some stuff on my chest hundred-day streak.
11:20.162 --> 11:22.743
[SPEAKER_00]: I have one hundred and ten days streak
11:23.423 --> 11:28.025
[SPEAKER_00]: on dual lingo swahili and I feel like I've learned no swahili and hundred ten days.
11:28.425 --> 11:35.787
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like my knowledge of swahili is no greater than when I started the dual lingo swahili than it is now and I'm a hundred ten days in.
11:36.087 --> 11:38.048
[SPEAKER_00]: But I have to stop, I can't stop.
11:39.345 --> 11:55.501
[SPEAKER_03]: You need to, on that, what's on Dolango, you need to friend Kelly, because she is also in this and doing it every night with Italian, and she does it every night because she's like Jason, someone else's streak.
11:56.182 --> 11:56.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
11:57.203 --> 11:57.443
[SPEAKER_03]: So.
11:58.024 --> 12:07.349
[SPEAKER_00]: I think my problem is I'm ready to move on to conversational Israeli and this is all like Vokap and I know the Vokap are ready Right, well, I don't know if it's actually teaching.
12:07.770 --> 12:09.350
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know how good doing the works.
12:09.931 --> 12:15.014
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't think it's good for conversation I think it's good for basic Vokap, maybe the read science.
12:15.914 --> 12:20.837
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe the read science Anything else on your list of gripes?
12:21.308 --> 12:27.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, listen, we went to the golf shores of the day for Sassas, Baseball Tour Tour Tournament, which ended disaster by the way.
12:27.712 --> 12:28.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was disaster.
12:28.613 --> 12:31.574
[SPEAKER_03]: But hey, golf shores are nice, but I do want to hear about the disaster.
12:32.015 --> 12:34.396
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, disaster like on the field or family.
12:34.896 --> 12:36.117
[SPEAKER_00]: On the field, I don't want to talk about that.
12:36.577 --> 12:36.898
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
12:37.930 --> 12:39.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We played Puppa as a family.
12:39.612 --> 12:47.458
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the first time we could all go out there and play a legit Puppa game without someone running on to different courses and all right.
12:47.598 --> 12:49.200
[SPEAKER_03]: But that could also be a disaster.
12:49.720 --> 12:50.861
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it wasn't great with the family.
12:51.302 --> 12:57.887
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing that happened and it still bothers me and I should get over this, I was trying really hard.
12:58.847 --> 13:00.108
[SPEAKER_00]: and Emily beat me.
13:00.369 --> 13:01.350
[SPEAKER_00]: And I played pretty well.
13:01.630 --> 13:06.395
[SPEAKER_00]: There were some shots I could have made that that that I missed, but Emily straight beat me by two strokes.
13:07.276 --> 13:08.757
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's just it irritates me.
13:10.018 --> 13:15.143
[SPEAKER_00]: Emily is not supposed to be that good to put, but I'm supposed to be that good to put, but I'm still not over losing to her and put but.
13:15.564 --> 13:20.388
[SPEAKER_03]: And yes, and isn't it so annoying because I have this issue too.
13:21.069 --> 13:24.052
[SPEAKER_03]: where you lose and the other person is an even competitive.
13:24.612 --> 13:25.373
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, yeah, care.
13:25.613 --> 13:27.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, not, it doesn't, it does a lot of them.
13:27.735 --> 13:29.456
[SPEAKER_00]: She wouldn't have thought about it for five minutes.
13:29.717 --> 13:30.237
[SPEAKER_03]: Exactly.
13:30.377 --> 13:32.219
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm so competitive, if it was me.
13:32.579 --> 13:36.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm two weeks in and every time I look at her, every time I look at her face, I just see how she beat me.
13:37.163 --> 13:37.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
13:37.303 --> 13:38.064
[SPEAKER_00]: And it makes me angry.
13:38.665 --> 13:40.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm, it's affecting my marriage now.
13:40.386 --> 13:41.987
[SPEAKER_03]: After this trip, I'm going to the other banks.
13:42.568 --> 13:44.290
[SPEAKER_03]: So I know I want to play some pickleball.
13:44.970 --> 13:55.637
[SPEAKER_03]: So for weeks I kept saying, Hey, I got to get him better shape and be able to pull you in run because I can't stand the lose even if it's a game I only play once a year and pop up does not mess around that pickle ball You know he's out there training.
13:55.998 --> 13:58.059
[SPEAKER_03]: No, don't don't ask him how much his paddle costs.
13:58.879 --> 14:01.041
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my I didn't know there was different.
14:01.361 --> 14:01.962
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
14:02.042 --> 14:02.682
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm sure there are.
14:02.702 --> 14:04.543
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure that wasn't talking about he's got the
14:13.223 --> 14:13.964
[SPEAKER_03]: So how's that list?
14:14.525 --> 14:15.426
[SPEAKER_03]: Did we cover everything?
14:16.467 --> 14:17.228
[SPEAKER_00]: Just one more thing.
14:18.951 --> 14:21.654
[SPEAKER_00]: I started watching this show called Rooster.
14:21.674 --> 14:25.540
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I am all caught up on Rooster.
14:26.108 --> 14:26.668
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I'm not.
14:26.728 --> 14:28.829
[SPEAKER_00]: I got like three episodes in, really enjoyed it.
14:29.189 --> 14:34.511
[SPEAKER_00]: But then it made me miss the office because it has Michael Scott, is in a- But it's a completely different character.
14:35.011 --> 14:37.972
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, but it made me think of the office seeing him all the time.
14:38.272 --> 14:41.253
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I turned the booster off and I turned back on the office.
14:41.513 --> 14:42.533
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's not as good.
14:43.133 --> 14:50.075
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh, through seven seasons, I was thinking like they had a couple good episodes, season one and two is good and then it gets bad.
14:50.716 --> 14:51.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm laughing out loud.
14:51.916 --> 14:54.937
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm laughing my butt off through seven seasons of this show.
14:55.887 --> 14:56.707
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so good.
14:57.027 --> 14:57.588
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't.
14:57.608 --> 14:58.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Holds up so well.
14:58.468 --> 14:58.968
[SPEAKER_00]: You can't do it.
14:59.368 --> 14:59.668
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't.
14:59.888 --> 15:01.409
[SPEAKER_03]: It's okay.
15:01.469 --> 15:03.209
[SPEAKER_00]: There's very few shows that laugh out loud.
15:03.269 --> 15:04.149
[SPEAKER_00]: I laugh out loud.
15:04.169 --> 15:05.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Like one thing I've pursued with that show.
15:05.290 --> 15:06.090
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
15:06.110 --> 15:09.451
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the next show that you and I will both watch and laugh out loud.
15:10.151 --> 15:10.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
15:10.591 --> 15:11.431
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know what's coming out?
15:11.451 --> 15:13.152
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's the end of the summer.
15:13.658 --> 15:16.839
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of done watching new shows and I'll just like to watch this new show.
15:16.859 --> 15:18.280
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to be all that on all right.
15:18.300 --> 15:19.320
[SPEAKER_03]: What is it all right?
15:20.341 --> 15:28.624
[SPEAKER_03]: It's Larry David All right exactly have you seen the commercial for Larry David's new show just do it ever going to retire No, I thought he was done after curve.
15:28.644 --> 15:29.464
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know he had another show
15:29.704 --> 15:53.812
[SPEAKER_03]: it's a new show I believe it's on HBO and what they do is they take his store contents and they put him in it and it's Larry David as Larry David but in these historic events yeah so he's irritated like Larry David is like while they're signing the declaration and dependence or whatever you know young on a John Hancock Ford right in his name too big
15:55.503 --> 16:20.175
[SPEAKER_00]: that reminds me of uh... there's a funny neighbor gasky thing where you know when no no it's standing where he says he talks about if you were to be a time travel and go to the future he said he'd be the worst time traveler ever because you want to know what to tell me where we went to the past he's like i want to know where i'm at one of the only thing i want to be able to like make a million dollars i just want it because i'm i'm dumb now i've been a time traveler want to make many smarter i'd be the worst time traveler
16:20.855 --> 16:25.356
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to be able to take advantage of all the cool time-trapping things and it's like a very day, but it will be this situation.
16:26.297 --> 16:26.777
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you know what?
16:26.897 --> 16:32.279
[SPEAKER_03]: This is called the life, Larry, and the pursuit of unhappiness and almost history of America.
16:33.119 --> 16:37.260
[SPEAKER_03]: It there's seven episodes and it starts on June 26th, so this week.
16:37.721 --> 16:43.482
[SPEAKER_00]: And sounds like maybe some historical fiction, so I'll bring in the little kids to come watch with me about history, right?
16:43.642 --> 16:43.863
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
16:44.083 --> 16:47.964
[SPEAKER_03]: So then they can go and just go and be like, no, why don't we talk about the grumpy old guy?
16:50.193 --> 16:52.615
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I got my, I got done my list.
16:52.795 --> 16:56.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all right, would you like to, would you like to know my list of crips?
16:57.539 --> 16:59.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, do you think, yeah, which is one more thing.
17:00.141 --> 17:01.762
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think, I was thinking about the dual lingo thing?
17:02.402 --> 17:09.087
[SPEAKER_00]: Should it there be, and then, and now they're keeping from on this dual, dual-lingual chess, they should have like dual-lingual baseball, right?
17:10.388 --> 17:14.331
[SPEAKER_00]: We can learn about the intricacies that was a baseball, maybe even like teams just think a little bit.
17:15.092 --> 17:16.293
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll just app that is,
17:18.157 --> 17:21.701
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright, I'm not too familiar with Dool and Go, but I think he just came up with an amazing idea.
17:22.822 --> 17:24.563
[SPEAKER_03]: Forget teaching you the rules of baseball.
17:25.404 --> 17:26.926
[SPEAKER_03]: Teaching you the history of baseball.
17:27.306 --> 17:28.267
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, best teaching you.
17:28.287 --> 17:29.368
[SPEAKER_00]: You deserve about the whole.
17:29.428 --> 17:31.950
[SPEAKER_03]: Teaching you every night when you do your streak.
17:32.211 --> 17:35.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Teaching you about like these Hall of Famers.
17:35.714 --> 17:35.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:36.875 --> 17:37.276
[SPEAKER_03]: I like that.
17:37.296 --> 17:37.816
[SPEAKER_00]: There's an idea.
17:38.397 --> 17:38.877
[SPEAKER_03]: There's an idea.
17:38.897 --> 17:39.438
[SPEAKER_03]: Same in the shark tank.
17:39.458 --> 17:39.678
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
17:39.698 --> 17:40.198
[SPEAKER_03]: Go, go, go, go, go, go.
17:40.218 --> 17:40.959
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we'll talk, go, go, go, go.
17:41.039 --> 17:50.248
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we'll talk, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go,
17:51.922 --> 17:56.586
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I heard you mentioned this on the other podcasts that you made here.
17:56.626 --> 18:03.933
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I talked about it on the Michael mayor show, basically I go to these like good little outlets and buy clothes by the pound and then I sell it online.
18:04.453 --> 18:07.917
[SPEAKER_03]: The only reason I bring that up is because I had a weird issue on Sunday morning.
18:09.156 --> 18:15.242
[SPEAKER_03]: because my new thing is when I travel, I hit the goodwill bins in other states and cities and everything.
18:16.022 --> 18:20.186
[SPEAKER_03]: So then it's like, if I grab stuff and sell it, I can pay for my trip.
18:20.667 --> 18:20.867
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
18:21.307 --> 18:24.871
[SPEAKER_00]: So I want to imagine northern goodwills have better stuff than southern goodwills.
18:24.931 --> 18:26.072
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe that's a stereotype.
18:26.592 --> 18:39.316
[SPEAKER_03]: A whole separate thing we can talk about sometime is my favorite thing is that every goodwill outlet has a different style and different type of thing So like when I go to Orlando, I get Disney stuff and a lot of W.W.E.
18:39.336 --> 18:44.798
[SPEAKER_03]: stuff In Jacksonville, I get a good mix of higher-end brands.
18:45.058 --> 18:47.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I would imagine to pick a goodwill based on the neighborhood, right?
18:47.819 --> 18:48.459
[SPEAKER_00]: When neighborhood.
18:48.479 --> 18:49.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, when I went to Savannah.
18:50.199 --> 18:51.480
[SPEAKER_03]: I got a lot of military stuff
18:52.180 --> 18:59.206
[SPEAKER_03]: When I went to northern Virginia ties lots of ties no one was ties in Florida, but it makes sense.
18:59.246 --> 19:12.256
[SPEAKER_03]: It's all the DC people Yeah When I went to the one in Baltimore I typed in the you know, I got the Tesla, so it just drives me so I was already bad Yeah, I was already bad with GPS.
19:12.276 --> 19:13.698
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not really knowing how to put it.
19:13.718 --> 19:14.138
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going
19:15.002 --> 19:42.849
[SPEAKER_03]: now when the car's going and I'm just playing on my phone oh and bottom or that could be a dangerous situation well I just I I look up and I'm like I didn't know I'm look up and I'm like oh I know these buildings I know where we're at we're going in the Rosedale okay I know this yeah um... and we passed and it's like oh the old uh the old picture flick is now like a uh... dollar general or something uh yeah or old stuff going through their highs is now like Frank's food market
19:43.469 --> 19:46.671
[SPEAKER_03]: And then it makes a left on the hazelwood.
19:46.892 --> 19:49.173
[SPEAKER_03]: And I was like, oh, I'm happy to hear him.
19:50.274 --> 19:53.176
[SPEAKER_03]: Matt, it is inside of our townhood grocery store.
19:53.777 --> 19:56.499
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a little A&P that we used to go to as kids.
19:57.099 --> 19:57.819
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's fun.
19:58.120 --> 19:59.421
[SPEAKER_03]: Which was fun and weird.
19:59.881 --> 20:01.122
[SPEAKER_00]: Could you pick out our old house?
20:02.805 --> 20:03.626
[SPEAKER_03]: Pick out our old house.
20:03.666 --> 20:04.406
[SPEAKER_03]: I could walk to it.
20:04.446 --> 20:04.746
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
20:05.287 --> 20:11.471
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but you could identify it walking down like your memory was good enough to identify which house was Oh, I know the address and everything.
20:11.511 --> 20:20.437
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I I was older when we moved out of there Yeah, but if you remember like our house, we used to be able to walk up a hill behind our house It was a parking store.
20:20.597 --> 20:24.320
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, they now've got they now have a big fence up there So you can't do that anymore.
20:24.640 --> 20:31.465
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a shame, but it was just weird to show up like without knowing where I was going to exactly where I knew everything
20:31.915 --> 20:32.615
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's weird.
20:32.635 --> 20:35.616
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, now, hey, let me ask you a question about this.
20:36.036 --> 20:38.716
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a store that I drive by every day to work.
20:39.356 --> 20:40.977
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know what the story is.
20:40.997 --> 20:44.037
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't understand it, and I'm too afraid to go in.
20:44.417 --> 20:49.919
[SPEAKER_00]: But it sounds like maybe something you're doing here, where it says, big sign on the door.
20:49.979 --> 20:52.999
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like this old CVS building, but it's new.
20:53.039 --> 20:53.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know what's called.
20:54.559 --> 20:56.560
[SPEAKER_00]: But it just has big signs in the window.
20:57.440 --> 21:00.363
[SPEAKER_00]: And it says, Monday, everything $5.
21:01.263 --> 21:02.284
[SPEAKER_00]: Just day, every $4.
21:02.304 --> 21:03.285
[SPEAKER_00]: Through it.
21:03.305 --> 21:03.705
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
21:03.866 --> 21:05.227
[SPEAKER_00]: And it goes like that all day different.
21:05.267 --> 21:05.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Friday every $1.
21:06.248 --> 21:07.349
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a different type of store.
21:07.549 --> 21:08.269
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's similar.
21:08.570 --> 21:10.932
[SPEAKER_03]: It's there's bins and you go in and buy stuff.
21:10.972 --> 21:11.592
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been to those.
21:12.093 --> 21:12.193
[SPEAKER_03]: OK.
21:12.353 --> 21:13.374
[SPEAKER_03]: It's generally not closed.
21:14.615 --> 21:16.436
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, you're great.
21:16.817 --> 21:18.578
[SPEAKER_03]: We are 21 minutes in.
21:18.698 --> 21:20.580
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to get us back to the oils with my gripe.
21:21.335 --> 21:21.876
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, thank you.
21:22.336 --> 21:22.917
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's my grite.
21:23.317 --> 21:24.258
[SPEAKER_00]: We started with the orders, all right.
21:24.278 --> 21:25.880
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's now that we didn't talk orders for 21 minutes.
21:25.900 --> 21:26.280
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I know.
21:26.580 --> 21:27.701
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't talk it for like 19.
21:27.781 --> 21:28.322
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, go ahead.
21:28.582 --> 21:29.163
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's my grite.
21:29.723 --> 21:30.604
[SPEAKER_03]: Blaze that looks the under.
21:30.984 --> 21:38.512
[SPEAKER_03]: Jackson Holiday, Dylan Beaver's, Felix Petista, Dean Cramer, K. Poevic, Adley Ruchman, Chris Bassett,
21:39.715 --> 21:42.157
[SPEAKER_03]: Ryan Mount Castle.
21:42.237 --> 21:43.037
[SPEAKER_03]: Jordan Westburg.
21:43.058 --> 21:45.699
[SPEAKER_00]: It sounds like a pretty good team.
21:48.401 --> 21:49.022
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it does.
21:49.142 --> 21:50.023
[SPEAKER_03]: From our interlace.
21:50.063 --> 21:52.504
[SPEAKER_03]: My gripless is our interries.
21:52.624 --> 21:58.088
[SPEAKER_03]: And I get it like every team gets banged up a lot every year.
21:58.509 --> 21:59.790
[SPEAKER_03]: It's part of baseball being long.
22:00.450 --> 22:02.411
[SPEAKER_03]: And it always feels like we get banged up more.
22:02.531 --> 22:05.313
[SPEAKER_03]: When I know that's not true at the end of the year, when I look at the stats.
22:05.954 --> 22:06.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
22:07.880 --> 22:30.118
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, even even we played Seattle, they had caught up a guy from single ages because they need another body because they're guys are dropping like flies So yeah, why is that time of year it's that time of year But it's little things it's leg discomfort growing tightness oblique strain why can't what are trainers doing that they can't prepare the guys for these shouldn't we have better trainers now
22:32.506 --> 22:35.254
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I mean, I don't think it's a training issue.
22:35.274 --> 22:39.024
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think, uh, over the course of a season.
22:40.331 --> 22:41.431
[SPEAKER_00]: This is inevitable.
22:41.851 --> 22:44.072
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it would happen with the best trainers in the world.
22:44.692 --> 22:46.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Silas today has basketball camp.
22:47.212 --> 22:49.013
[SPEAKER_00]: He was slumping his elbow wrong.
22:49.333 --> 22:53.854
[SPEAKER_00]: And he said he was practicing in the front yard this morning so I can't make any shots dad.
22:53.934 --> 22:55.014
[SPEAKER_00]: My elbow is messed up.
22:55.374 --> 23:00.935
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't we have a picture a few years ago that messed the start because he slept wrong when it's on or back or something?
23:00.955 --> 23:02.396
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you play every day to the long season.
23:02.496 --> 23:08.277
[SPEAKER_00]: The good news is that Josh of those guys you listed a bunch of them on our rehab assignments right now.
23:09.597 --> 23:14.741
[SPEAKER_00]: Namely they'd povich Dean Cramer Dylan Beaver's all-on rehab assignments.
23:15.021 --> 23:16.922
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, hopefully Adley Ruchman.
23:17.622 --> 23:19.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this still about getting hit in the head?
23:19.163 --> 23:19.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what the Adley Ruchman?
23:19.964 --> 23:21.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's Adley's just a concussion prodo.
23:22.585 --> 23:26.227
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so hopefully he'll be back the end of the week.
23:26.247 --> 23:30.250
[SPEAKER_03]: It's seven days retro to the 19th, so he'll be back the end of the week.
23:30.760 --> 23:34.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and blaze we don't know really the severity of blaze that hopefully it's not serious though, right?
23:34.683 --> 23:38.005
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, day to day, Jackson how old is day to day?
23:38.365 --> 23:39.306
[SPEAKER_03]: That was growing tight, man.
23:39.366 --> 23:42.008
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why you always focus on, yeah, Jackson how it should be back.
23:43.169 --> 23:44.369
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why you always focus on negative.
23:44.770 --> 23:48.232
[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler O'Neill made a dive in catch and got up and wasn't injured.
23:48.492 --> 23:49.913
[SPEAKER_00]: Even Jepommer was like, is he hurt?
23:49.953 --> 23:51.434
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's just a Justin who's bump buckle.
23:51.634 --> 23:52.795
[SPEAKER_00]: But I haven't thought he was hurt.
23:53.095 --> 23:53.776
[SPEAKER_00]: Out for the season.
23:53.856 --> 23:54.897
[SPEAKER_00]: After he'd go for it all.
23:55.417 --> 24:03.781
[SPEAKER_03]: Tyler Neill is so weird sometimes it looks like he does not know what he's doing out in the outfield and sometimes he will make an amazing catch like that one yesterday where he gets up and he's fine.
24:04.362 --> 24:04.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
24:06.062 --> 24:18.729
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah the injuries but hopefully the other good news Josh is you may you you ran down a whole list of players there but if you look at kind of our elite
24:21.090 --> 24:26.152
[SPEAKER_00]: are top three right, bradish, bazz, rougers, they ever made healthy.
24:26.672 --> 24:33.795
[SPEAKER_00]: I would argue a lot of besides Westburg, a lot of our major hitters like Alonzo and Gunner have remained healthy.
24:34.295 --> 24:38.377
[SPEAKER_00]: So, yes, there's been some injuries, but it hasn't been,
24:40.068 --> 24:41.289
[SPEAKER_00]: as bad as it could.
24:41.349 --> 24:43.650
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, the big the big one was Westburg.
24:44.530 --> 24:47.211
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's some of the keys and then we we've known that.
24:47.231 --> 24:48.212
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, of course.
24:49.732 --> 25:01.738
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, so I mean, I bring that up as I guess yesterday blaze Alexander getting hurt and then we haven't to catchers that we don't even want on our team.
25:02.598 --> 25:03.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
25:03.619 --> 25:14.971
[SPEAKER_00]: And Leo to Various, and I love baseball so much, because he goes in there to third and the first batter hits it right out of it, and it makes out, and that happens to you.
25:15.391 --> 25:23.820
[SPEAKER_03]: That happens 100% of the time at baseball, it's always that way, and he did, you know what, he did fine, as well as Kobe.
25:25.054 --> 25:27.116
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Kobe's really improved.
25:27.977 --> 25:28.597
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think he had.
25:28.657 --> 25:30.539
[SPEAKER_00]: He dropped the ball against the Dodgers, he should have made.
25:31.440 --> 25:41.830
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh, what an oppressive, yeah, but just one more to your point before I move on, the depth of our team is being tested here.
25:42.250 --> 25:42.771
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, totally.
25:44.112 --> 25:47.095
[SPEAKER_03]: And a depth that I didn't think we had any depth.
25:48.723 --> 26:17.198
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I thought we had some pitching depth and the pitching depth has really showed not with branding young and uh... trade gifts and don't get a little bit and uh... who's the third well that's kind of back i mean that's kind of been it now now with Trevor Rogers oh yeah oh yeah Trevor Rogers is being back yeah so and and Trevor Rogers is looking back kind of an old form that brought us yesterday that brought us yesterday that i think that was the best out in the year
26:18.885 --> 26:39.622
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it was certainly as long as I think it's wanting to see out it was actually a little bit better, being just had more strikeouts, but the thing, the thing about Bradish, and this was, happened yesterday, but it was so true in Seattle game, when you throw a curveball that lands a couple feet in front of home plate and maybe outside, and the hitters still swings.
26:40.202 --> 26:42.544
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what you know, the pitch is just absolutely nasty.
26:42.604 --> 26:44.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, if you can't get into the plane.
26:44.426 --> 26:48.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and even if that's the multiple hitters, you can see out all on a couple of times against the angels.
26:49.450 --> 27:01.180
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, his stuff, and he has, and even if his curve ball is not as nasty, his sliders nasty, and there was saying, yesterday's game was the hardest he's ever thrown in the sixth inning or later, thrown at 97, so it was like,
27:03.842 --> 27:04.782
[SPEAKER_03]: Those are all positives.
27:05.262 --> 27:05.502
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
27:05.822 --> 27:09.183
[SPEAKER_03]: We're like, and that's also part of the problem with this team.
27:09.763 --> 27:14.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Is they will do everything to break your heart, and then suddenly pull you right back in.
27:15.484 --> 27:24.626
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, when we were talking about this weeks ago, but like I feel like this team goes as Rogers, Braddish, and to a lesser extent, Bazgo.
27:25.026 --> 27:31.127
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if Rogers and Braddish, we know they're capable of being great, and they haven't, they've been inconsistent so far this year, but if they're great,
27:32.307 --> 27:46.698
[SPEAKER_00]: As good as they can be, that solves a lot of our ills, at least in a pitching staff, because then they can go deeper the games, you're less exposed to your bullpen, it's just, it's all good stuff, and they've been pitching like that lately, and we've had some weeks lately.
27:46.898 --> 27:50.160
[SPEAKER_03]: And we saw in the Dodger series, this team can take on any team.
27:50.901 --> 27:52.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's just a super impressive series.
27:53.122 --> 27:54.343
[SPEAKER_03]: It really was.
27:55.364 --> 28:00.948
[SPEAKER_03]: It should have been a sweep, but whatever, it's still you win the series, and that's impressive.
28:01.206 --> 28:05.268
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, when that final game in such dominant fashion to the point where they had to bring a position.
28:05.608 --> 28:07.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure, yes, that's part of it.
28:07.248 --> 28:11.230
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, I guess a Dodgers at their place at what's it called?
28:11.270 --> 28:12.611
[SPEAKER_00]: I never heard of this thing before.
28:12.871 --> 28:15.352
[SPEAKER_00]: That was everywhere, unique lower something, what is that?
28:15.832 --> 28:21.194
[SPEAKER_03]: It is unique low at Dodgers Stadium or whatever they call it, because it still got Dodgers Stadium in it.
28:21.234 --> 28:22.775
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think people should come to the stadium.
28:23.235 --> 28:24.656
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a Japanese company.
28:25.316 --> 28:25.856
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that makes sense.
28:25.876 --> 28:27.817
[SPEAKER_03]: Because of their, it makes sense for them.
28:29.958 --> 28:34.580
[SPEAKER_03]: If you pay attention, you start to see that little red and white logo on so much stuff.
28:35.061 --> 28:35.401
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh really?
28:35.801 --> 28:36.301
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:36.762 --> 28:37.302
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
28:38.402 --> 28:38.703
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
28:38.763 --> 28:40.063
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, just super impressive.
28:40.343 --> 28:44.325
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you worry when you get to the angels a little bit of a let down.
28:44.846 --> 28:47.767
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, because this is how the overseas gone up and up and down.
28:47.787 --> 28:48.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
28:48.408 --> 28:52.029
[SPEAKER_00]: So the question is, can we kind of extend that momentum here into the angel series?
28:52.069 --> 28:52.830
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we have.
28:53.210 --> 28:56.073
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and the biggest frustration with this team has been them killing themselves.
28:56.634 --> 28:57.094
[SPEAKER_03]: So you do.
28:57.394 --> 29:02.119
[SPEAKER_03]: You had that feeling that we just had a really impressive series against the best team in baseball that Dodgers.
29:02.700 --> 29:07.084
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to go into the worst team in baseball, well the worst team in the American League, and fall apart.
29:07.985 --> 29:09.447
[SPEAKER_03]: And really impressive win yesterday.
29:10.315 --> 29:13.396
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, do you know what, um, I was looking at some stats today.
29:13.776 --> 29:14.056
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
29:14.236 --> 29:15.736
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you got, I hope you don't mind me doing that.
29:16.396 --> 29:20.837
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is to me, one of the most bizarre things.
29:20.897 --> 29:28.719
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you look at, let's just look at baseball reference and look at the top hitters in baseball and look at their war.
29:29.299 --> 29:29.539
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
29:30.139 --> 29:32.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know where and there's 30 teams in the league?
29:32.820 --> 29:33.060
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
29:33.460 --> 29:38.501
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know where our top hitter ranks in terms of war in terms of war?
29:38.521 --> 29:38.781
[SPEAKER_00]: War?
29:40.542 --> 29:43.543
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think we are... Tath.
29:44.423 --> 29:46.023
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm talking about individual players.
29:47.043 --> 29:47.964
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so which player?
29:48.444 --> 29:50.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Which player and where do we rank?
29:50.964 --> 29:51.284
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
29:51.925 --> 29:52.585
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, uh...
29:53.085 --> 29:55.466
[SPEAKER_03]: Tailored would be your highest war with you.
29:55.486 --> 29:56.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's war.
29:56.846 --> 29:58.266
[SPEAKER_00]: And where do you think would rank in the majors?
29:59.807 --> 30:00.027
[SPEAKER_03]: Um...
30:02.142 --> 30:24.917
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... let's save uh... ten he ranks uh... sixty-third okay and that's a top player but all right in terms of war and the and the and the the same with pitching uh... i mean uh... you'll you'll never guess who are top pitchers but see but that's looking at a individual stat instead of team stats but that's it's a
30:26.811 --> 30:33.315
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's what I'm saying my argument is this team so far has had no one and by the way our top picture in terms of war.
30:33.375 --> 30:36.016
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know who it is?
30:36.096 --> 30:41.539
[SPEAKER_03]: Top picture war Well, is it Rico Garcia this bullpen count?
30:41.900 --> 30:43.821
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it is Rico Garcia good for you Josh.
30:44.701 --> 30:45.842
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watch these games
30:46.560 --> 30:52.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but usually it's a starter, but we can see it is 67th in terms of war.
30:53.087 --> 30:57.952
[SPEAKER_00]: So both our top pitcher and our top position player are in the 60s and these are top players.
30:57.972 --> 31:01.635
[SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, who would have had ward and Garcia as our two, as our best?
31:02.648 --> 31:27.174
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... war players off uh... for for hitting and pitching but to me this is more evidence of of this team does not have the elite or is not had elite performances really by anybody all year uh... and so this has really been the team kind of being good enough collectively to get us this point and what we've seen recently i would expect a month from now
31:27.994 --> 31:38.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Bradish to be the top leader board and at some point I expect Gunner to still be our top war player offensively even though he's not there yet And so I still think this team
31:39.449 --> 31:46.595
[SPEAKER_00]: Not only are we kind of playing better, the potential for a lot of these star players, and I think Brad is just a star.
31:47.135 --> 31:50.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I think Alonzo and Anderson are stars.
31:51.198 --> 31:57.283
[SPEAKER_00]: The potential, I think, for then to play a lot better, the second half of the season, is absolutely there.
31:57.824 --> 31:58.184
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
31:58.544 --> 32:04.169
[SPEAKER_00]: The ceiling for this team is really high, and the fact that we're still in the running,
32:04.929 --> 32:25.997
[SPEAKER_00]: with all of our kind of stars and with not having any elite performances really i don't know what the all-star boat looks like Josh but oh i love war stats would say we shouldn't have any all-star we don't we don't have any all-stars yeah my guess is our sea i will get in a bite my guess is weaker Garcia will represent the or else but isn't that kind of wild given this roster in this town and this team
32:26.625 --> 32:28.666
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it also explains why we're in fourth place.
32:29.426 --> 32:30.487
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I know.
32:30.987 --> 32:31.908
[SPEAKER_03]: I know we're hopeful.
32:32.168 --> 32:33.308
[SPEAKER_03]: It's why we're under 500.
32:33.528 --> 32:35.569
[SPEAKER_03]: We're hopeful that we're two games under the wild card.
32:35.890 --> 32:37.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but yeah, exactly.
32:37.330 --> 32:39.351
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if I were to said to you Josh, begin the season.
32:39.391 --> 32:41.372
[SPEAKER_00]: If I was to say, hey, listen, it's going to be June 23rd.
32:41.552 --> 32:42.233
[SPEAKER_03]: And we also.
32:42.293 --> 32:46.775
[SPEAKER_00]: Rico Garcia is going to be our only all star and our highest war player.
32:47.235 --> 32:48.056
[SPEAKER_00]: What's our record?
32:48.476 --> 32:52.298
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you would say two games on the wild card, four games under 500.
32:52.698 --> 32:54.399
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you would say this is complete disaster.
32:54.799 --> 33:08.326
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think there's a testament to how well we've played collectively as a team, whether be Kobe Mayo stepping up, whether it be Brandon Young, with the season he's had and stepping up, we didn't expect it.
33:08.626 --> 33:19.912
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think collectively, but Silas obviously performance, collectively we've kind of been good, and now we just need our superstars to kind of tick off and Brad is already there, hopefully Rogers is there.
33:20.972 --> 33:21.512
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited.
33:21.532 --> 33:22.933
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for where this seems going.
33:22.973 --> 33:25.834
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe they will disappoint me again because they seem to do this all the time this year.
33:26.334 --> 33:28.335
[SPEAKER_00]: Going to a lot of a couple of games and then fall back.
33:28.835 --> 33:31.596
[SPEAKER_00]: But this seems like I think we play the national's next.
33:31.956 --> 33:36.638
[SPEAKER_00]: This seems like a good opportunity to really have a nice, you know, win a bunch of games.
33:37.438 --> 33:40.659
[SPEAKER_00]: Have a nice streak going and just to July and the All-Star Break.
33:40.679 --> 33:42.760
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm optimistic.
33:42.800 --> 33:43.660
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm bullish on this team.
33:48.392 --> 33:52.653
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's also that this team has underperformed for the first half of the season.
33:53.533 --> 33:57.034
[SPEAKER_03]: And we know that they've got the talent and it's all stringing them together.
33:57.294 --> 34:04.835
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a question that people keep asking me is what do I think is wrong with this team?
34:05.236 --> 34:06.876
[SPEAKER_03]: Or what is my takeaway with this team?
34:08.436 --> 34:13.297
[SPEAKER_03]: And I don't know, is it me or more and more?
34:14.538 --> 34:16.518
[SPEAKER_03]: There's one person on this team that frustrates me.
34:17.825 --> 34:19.646
[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, I like how you pose your own questions.
34:19.667 --> 34:21.488
[SPEAKER_00]: You should do that more and more in the comments.
34:21.528 --> 34:22.269
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm certain.
34:22.469 --> 34:24.450
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to say you up.
34:24.570 --> 34:25.791
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to have a question.
34:25.912 --> 34:27.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Did you have your frustrates you?
34:27.553 --> 34:33.598
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's one guy that frustrates me where I think he, I think, was out of him.
34:34.278 --> 34:35.479
[SPEAKER_03]: We are a 500-ball club.
34:36.620 --> 34:40.944
[SPEAKER_00]: Is this your continued hatred of Ta-da O'Neil the part time player?
34:40.984 --> 34:42.585
[SPEAKER_03]: No, this is not Ta-da O'Neil.
34:43.170 --> 34:54.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, um, is this Michael Ciani who is now a filter who I never heard of until he made an appearance in the blog game against the Dodgers and I literally never did a name before.
34:55.534 --> 34:58.875
[SPEAKER_03]: It's also not Sam Huff or Chadwick Trump.
34:59.742 --> 35:02.444
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, hey, half seems to be calling a pretty good game.
35:02.744 --> 35:04.325
[SPEAKER_00]: They were talking on the broadcast too.
35:04.345 --> 35:08.907
[SPEAKER_00]: We always keep the notebook everywhere and he just kind of how he breaks down games different teams.
35:09.087 --> 35:10.048
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been about a while.
35:10.508 --> 35:12.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I kind of like that Sam Hoff has that third catcher.
35:14.070 --> 35:15.711
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I don't like that third catcher.
35:16.371 --> 35:17.192
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just like, he didn't wait.
35:17.632 --> 35:20.794
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I, well, yeah, because you run into situations like yesterday.
35:21.650 --> 35:24.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I know, are you going in the pitching room of things?
35:25.031 --> 35:25.271
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
35:26.052 --> 35:28.653
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going into the managerial room of things.
35:29.193 --> 35:33.315
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Craig Alburner's is not the right guy for this team.
35:33.915 --> 35:34.755
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, my gosh.
35:35.355 --> 35:36.916
[SPEAKER_03]: And it seems like a liar.
35:37.456 --> 35:38.877
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have fired Craig.
35:39.957 --> 35:42.500
[SPEAKER_03]: And I would have said, Brock, take over.
35:42.760 --> 35:44.401
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry, I should have been you from the beginning.
35:45.742 --> 35:48.064
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is, oh, I know it was about.
35:48.164 --> 35:51.587
[SPEAKER_00]: You just want back to be managers, but this is about this going on for you.
35:52.107 --> 35:54.009
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I mean, I would love Buckbird to be manager.
35:54.189 --> 35:55.450
[SPEAKER_03]: But here's my issue with Craig.
35:55.931 --> 35:59.173
[SPEAKER_03]: Is we talked, or we talked when we didn't have a manager.
35:59.193 --> 35:59.774
[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have a manager.
36:00.094 --> 36:00.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be okay.
36:00.374 --> 36:00.635
[SPEAKER_00]: I go ahead.
36:01.535 --> 36:01.956
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be fine.
36:02.036 --> 36:03.537
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be fine.
36:03.797 --> 36:04.438
[SPEAKER_03]: With a wife.
36:04.878 --> 36:05.459
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'll be.
36:09.754 --> 36:12.813
[SPEAKER_03]: how a manager really just needs to fire up and motivate your team.
36:13.793 --> 36:22.420
[SPEAKER_03]: because you've got pitch and coaches, you've got hidden coaches, you've got all these other coaches in field coaches, outfield coaches that actually handle the day today.
36:22.740 --> 36:27.204
[SPEAKER_03]: Like a John Harball doesn't know what plays to call, he trusts his offensive coordinator.
36:27.825 --> 36:35.851
[SPEAKER_03]: You've got the same thing in baseball and what you really need is a guy to motivate your players and Craig keeps falling on his face in this.
36:36.432 --> 36:40.055
[SPEAKER_03]: There are moments where he should be at argue on a play, he doesn't argue.
36:40.475 --> 36:43.058
[SPEAKER_03]: Gunner Henderson gets hit in the ninth on purpose.
36:43.898 --> 36:47.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Craig comes out and I've been dragged multiple times to head ahead and run successful.
36:47.682 --> 36:48.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Find the end.
36:48.383 --> 36:51.165
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be comes out and says, oh, we understand it's okay.
36:51.646 --> 36:53.908
[SPEAKER_03]: Major League Baseball then suspends that picture.
36:54.188 --> 36:55.950
[SPEAKER_03]: So Major League Baseball found it wrong.
36:56.551 --> 36:57.692
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be said it was okay.
36:58.052 --> 37:02.177
[SPEAKER_00]: And more importantly, Gunner Henderson's reaction to get in the head was not like, okay, that's okay guys.
37:02.277 --> 37:02.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
37:02.778 --> 37:03.699
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a new heart up.
37:04.039 --> 37:05.461
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, you have to have your guys back.
37:05.742 --> 37:09.286
[SPEAKER_03]: Deplay where the base runner went out of the base path.
37:10.027 --> 37:13.211
[SPEAKER_03]: He should have been out there yelling at that because it fires up your team.
37:13.632 --> 37:15.973
[SPEAKER_00]: And then later in that game when holiday right on the baseline.
37:16.093 --> 37:19.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, called him out Baseline should have thrown that was the most fluid Chris calls.
37:19.954 --> 37:26.636
[SPEAKER_03]: There should have been an Earl weaver style fit there I know baseball wants to get rid of that But that doesn't mean go away completely.
37:26.916 --> 37:27.196
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
37:27.216 --> 37:27.576
[SPEAKER_00]: That's it.
37:27.616 --> 37:27.756
[SPEAKER_00]: Now.
37:27.777 --> 37:27.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
37:28.277 --> 37:31.018
[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no Then you want to throw back manager.
37:31.038 --> 37:31.578
[SPEAKER_00]: You miss Earl.
37:31.678 --> 37:31.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
37:32.518 --> 37:32.738
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
37:33.198 --> 37:34.679
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you then finally?
37:35.299 --> 37:36.819
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you watch his post game conferences?
37:37.860 --> 37:38.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I Watch some not all
37:40.258 --> 37:41.480
[SPEAKER_03]: They are the most irritating things.
37:41.941 --> 37:42.662
[SPEAKER_03]: He never comes at the point.
37:42.682 --> 37:43.243
[SPEAKER_03]: Information.
37:43.644 --> 37:47.910
[SPEAKER_03]: He took, he, he put, put solid, he definitely referenced the solid was being solved.
37:48.571 --> 37:49.733
[SPEAKER_03]: And then had to walk that back.
37:50.835 --> 37:51.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, is he the solid soft?
37:53.057 --> 37:53.297
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
37:54.438 --> 38:13.431
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
38:23.380 --> 38:30.366
[SPEAKER_03]: where O'Neill through the ball, of course, but Salot did that little lazy grab and missed it.
38:30.547 --> 38:32.628
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you missed when Hansley gave up the hit, but okay, go ahead.
38:32.648 --> 38:34.911
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and Hansley gave up the hit in a couple walks.
38:35.271 --> 38:35.471
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
38:36.132 --> 38:38.113
[SPEAKER_03]: Craig's post-game conference was, well,
38:38.934 --> 38:47.923
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's a lot of things we could focus on with how that went wrong and he implied hencely was the problem without calling him out.
38:48.603 --> 38:53.948
[SPEAKER_03]: Either call him out or don't stop being soft and try to send the reporters down these paths.
38:54.769 --> 39:00.655
[SPEAKER_03]: I want a manager that's got my players backs and holds my players responsible and I don't think I see that from him.
39:01.155 --> 39:03.017
[SPEAKER_00]: What about the game?
39:03.197 --> 39:04.378
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Josh, to your evidence.
39:04.438 --> 39:07.021
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm supporting you here before I call you a knucklehead.
39:07.841 --> 39:15.248
[SPEAKER_00]: In yesterday's game, there was a play at the plate where the show was clearly blocking the plate.
39:15.488 --> 39:19.112
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and they overturned the call and out and they did a shot of Alb in the dugout.
39:19.432 --> 39:20.773
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's laughing over there.
39:20.793 --> 39:21.354
[SPEAKER_00]: He's laughing.
39:21.654 --> 39:23.015
[SPEAKER_03]: Matt, there was a picture of Alb.
39:24.977 --> 39:27.200
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, from the blowout Dodgers game.
39:27.441 --> 39:28.062
[SPEAKER_03]: Have you seen it?
39:28.442 --> 39:33.409
[SPEAKER_03]: Where he looks like he has a he his head is laying on the railing He looks like he is asleep.
39:34.030 --> 39:35.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's too young to be doing that
39:36.769 --> 39:37.890
[SPEAKER_00]: He is so irritating to me.
39:38.170 --> 39:41.873
[SPEAKER_00]: And this, this doesn't even include the bottom of the construction.
39:42.213 --> 39:42.313
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh.
39:43.154 --> 39:46.316
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, this does not include leaving players out too long.
39:47.117 --> 39:49.418
[SPEAKER_03]: He had Trevor Rogers out there in the seventh.
39:49.478 --> 39:51.100
[SPEAKER_03]: Trevor Rogers fell apart in the seventh.
39:51.660 --> 39:54.562
[SPEAKER_03]: Post game of Rogers says, I don't know why I wasn't pulled.
39:54.642 --> 39:56.644
[SPEAKER_03]: I kept looking over and they weren't pulling me.
39:56.684 --> 39:57.604
[SPEAKER_03]: So I kept pitching.
39:57.905 --> 39:59.146
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I did.
39:59.186 --> 40:00.046
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't want that one.
40:00.066 --> 40:00.747
[SPEAKER_00]: He left me too long.
40:00.787 --> 40:02.388
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and it's been a few like that.
40:05.014 --> 40:07.315
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I am not so old on Craig Albinas.
40:08.336 --> 40:09.277
[SPEAKER_03]: You can tell me I'm wrong.
40:09.897 --> 40:19.504
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think buck Britain, I think anyone could get this team above 500.
40:19.584 --> 40:27.010
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's things I'm excited about, but I'll tell you,
40:27.876 --> 40:34.587
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm one of the things I'm excited about is that Cal Ripkin is back on the field and working with these players and seems to be having some success.
40:36.570 --> 40:42.179
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to know did Craig ask him or did they step up and say I'm just going out there and doing this.
40:43.554 --> 40:58.939
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, there's a separate issue apart from Albee is there has been shrug I mean we've had a lot of high draft picks position players and very few of them have worked out Curse set cows are even now holiday.
40:58.959 --> 41:02.821
[SPEAKER_00]: I know holidays super young, but they haven't loved up yet to their potential.
41:02.841 --> 41:09.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and so that's that's an issue that I think that's beyond Albee that you do but you know what do better at your farm development
41:09.543 --> 41:13.906
[SPEAKER_03]: Fine, I'll be, though, is responsible for line-up construction.
41:14.027 --> 41:15.808
[SPEAKER_00]: I've had no issues with the line-up construction.
41:15.868 --> 41:24.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Gunner Henderson should be fifth, and everyone bumps up, because Taylor Ward is getting on base all the time and being left out to dry.
41:25.375 --> 41:28.738
[SPEAKER_03]: So I would drop him back and then I would go,
41:34.966 --> 41:39.568
[SPEAKER_03]: because you've got at least those guys are gonna hit the ball deep and try to move water around.
41:40.508 --> 41:53.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay fine and in terms of, I mean I think I know that's not your biggest issue but to me that's a minor issue but the I tend to want my best hitter at number two and I still think gunners are great.
41:54.153 --> 41:55.353
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think gunners are best hitter.
41:55.681 --> 41:56.281
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, I think he is.
41:56.301 --> 41:57.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what to screw there.
41:58.002 --> 41:59.723
[SPEAKER_00]: The edge of the strikeouts this year.
42:00.443 --> 42:05.066
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he's actually handled the bullpen and starting when to pull guys really well.
42:05.626 --> 42:13.370
[SPEAKER_00]: Even the Rogers thing, and this is just me, maybe I'm old school, and maybe you like this new way where starters, pitch three, it ends, and then you pull them out.
42:13.810 --> 42:17.492
[SPEAKER_00]: But I like the fact that I'll be lets his pictures go a little bit, his starters go a little bit.
42:17.812 --> 42:19.173
[SPEAKER_00]: I like the fact that he could have pulled
42:20.025 --> 42:30.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Bradish yesterday, after seven, certainly after seven and two thirds, when he was going to potentially get there well over a hundred pitches, but he left him in there to finish off the eighth inning.
42:31.233 --> 42:34.296
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I actually like how much he lets his starters go.
42:34.956 --> 42:37.978
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm good with his bullpen usage as well.
42:39.259 --> 42:43.702
[SPEAKER_00]: So and in terms of shots of the dugout and interaction of the players, it seems like
42:44.563 --> 42:50.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I always see him having positive interactions with Pita Lanzo with other players in the dugout whenever they shoot to the dugout.
42:51.546 --> 42:51.807
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.
42:52.107 --> 42:58.950
[SPEAKER_00]: And everything I hear from people and I know people who cover the team are often biased, but they have more insight than you do.
42:59.030 --> 43:03.112
[SPEAKER_00]: And it sounds like players really respond well and like Albee from what I've read.
43:04.247 --> 43:04.547
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.
43:05.287 --> 43:06.368
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, maybe.
43:06.388 --> 43:06.848
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
43:06.928 --> 43:07.868
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't talk about that.
43:08.268 --> 43:13.710
[SPEAKER_00]: On top of all that, Josh, I mean, we're not even halfway through.
43:13.790 --> 43:14.570
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it 80 games?
43:14.610 --> 43:15.190
[SPEAKER_00]: Is that where we're at?
43:16.050 --> 43:16.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
43:16.751 --> 43:20.712
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're almost halfway through a season as a new manager.
43:20.752 --> 43:21.952
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's insane.
43:22.452 --> 43:28.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless he's doing crazy stuff, I think it's insane to do all the work to identify the next manager.
43:29.514 --> 43:46.798
[SPEAKER_00]: do all that work, all that background work, hire the guy, and after less than half a season fire him, I think that shows how incompetent you are in your hiring process that will be insane to me, and so you at least have to let out we have a full season and then re-evaluate since he's a new manager.
43:48.284 --> 43:49.225
[SPEAKER_03]: And I get that.
43:49.785 --> 43:50.405
[SPEAKER_03]: I do get that.
43:50.645 --> 43:54.227
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's also a point where this team was supposed to be better now.
43:54.948 --> 44:02.412
[SPEAKER_03]: Some would say Michael Lyce's job is on the line and he needs to fix it if he thinks it's an issue.
44:02.452 --> 44:03.292
[SPEAKER_03]: He clearly doesn't.
44:03.792 --> 44:09.795
[SPEAKER_03]: My concern is that Craig Albranes is just another brand in hide and he's just the yes man of the Michael Lyce.
44:11.316 --> 44:14.858
[SPEAKER_03]: And that Michael Lyce has been lying up control.
44:17.583 --> 44:23.606
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think we've had it well now, it's weird now because he's kind of out of options.
44:23.626 --> 44:25.627
[SPEAKER_00]: So cows are well batted against varieties and lefties.
44:25.647 --> 44:27.088
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, he's got the never choice.
44:27.348 --> 44:27.568
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
44:27.588 --> 44:29.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they don't have any more options now because they're very, so we're playing third.
44:29.929 --> 44:31.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You really can't put the tune on him.
44:31.130 --> 44:31.670
[SPEAKER_00]: Correct.
44:31.790 --> 44:34.832
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll see when Beatriz comes back if they do more of that platoon stuff.
44:35.672 --> 44:43.676
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, I feel like there's been less less of that overmanaging that we saw with hide with Albee.
44:44.016 --> 44:45.377
[SPEAKER_00]: But maybe it's because he has less options.
44:45.397 --> 44:45.697
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
44:46.962 --> 45:08.973
[SPEAKER_00]: maybe I don't know that's just been my frustration lately okay and and do you think birdland shares your frustration or or now oh I have no idea I don't care I just know my opinion of watching the games I haven't I haven't taken a survey I mean I I don't think Aberna's job should be in danger I think he's done a nice job I would like to see him
45:10.195 --> 45:10.856
[SPEAKER_00]: argue more.
45:11.396 --> 45:18.281
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, I think that's just the spectacle for us fans that looks like I think in the dugout he does have the players back.
45:18.861 --> 45:22.523
[SPEAKER_00]: We want the spectacle so we can see it on TV, how he has the players back.
45:23.084 --> 45:23.684
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I get it.
45:23.744 --> 45:24.565
[SPEAKER_00]: I will see that too.
45:25.525 --> 45:27.727
[SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, I don't think he's a fire immediately.
45:28.567 --> 45:30.749
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's a C grade right now.
45:30.809 --> 45:35.092
[SPEAKER_03]: He's average, which is exactly what you see from the Orioles on the field.
45:35.472 --> 45:36.132
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just average.
45:37.153 --> 45:51.661
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're they're getting by I think they they're underperforming Yeah And I think he's underperforming, but that's yeah, but it's gonna be amazing when Gunner starts to get on fire any will Josh wait I hope so it's amazing how much better of a manager.
45:51.761 --> 45:54.282
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, he is we've got a star fire.
45:54.322 --> 45:58.465
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 100% 100% it's way easier to manage when your team is good.
45:58.745 --> 45:59.785
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's easier management.
45:59.825 --> 46:01.146
[SPEAKER_00]: Prattish throws eight innings, right?
46:01.286 --> 46:02.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Right, you just have to make one decision.
46:02.687 --> 46:06.109
[SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be a ninth and you're good Yeah, yeah, and you know what yesterday
46:06.990 --> 46:12.056
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it was a blowout, but yesterday was a tough game to manage when you lose your third basement.
46:12.376 --> 46:17.862
[SPEAKER_03]: When your third basement is DH and you have to manage, when do I pull him and put him at third base?
46:17.922 --> 46:19.224
[SPEAKER_03]: How do I get through with the pitchers?
46:20.125 --> 46:20.665
[SPEAKER_03]: So I get that.
46:20.726 --> 46:23.749
[SPEAKER_03]: It's good that it was a blowout, but that would have been a tough game to manage.
46:24.345 --> 46:24.525
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
46:25.386 --> 46:26.106
[SPEAKER_00]: It's interesting.
46:26.306 --> 46:33.311
[SPEAKER_00]: Ward has played, I didn't hear Albus comments on why to verse, because Ward came up as a third basement and then moved to the outfield.
46:33.391 --> 46:36.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So he would have been the logical guy to have third, but I'm not sure.
46:36.673 --> 46:39.895
[SPEAKER_03]: But I guess you were more concerned about getting a ball getting away in the outfield.
46:39.975 --> 46:40.355
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
46:40.815 --> 46:47.299
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the only thing that the Dodger series and the angels, the only thing that irritates me about this team, because they're playing so well, it's hard to get irritated.
46:48.520 --> 46:53.545
[SPEAKER_00]: Is there challenge decisions on what the balls and the count that they're challenging in?
46:53.565 --> 47:01.692
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, there must have been a pre-game conversation yesterday about hey, this umpsox or something because they challenge so early so fast.
47:01.919 --> 47:12.732
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, this went to the Dodger series too, and there was like a two old count in the early endings that cows are challenged, what are you doing, telling a two old count if it's not a, and that's what I want to say about any of these challenges.
47:13.253 --> 47:18.779
[SPEAKER_03]: If it's not a strike three, why are you challenging it or a ball four?
47:19.540 --> 47:40.375
[SPEAKER_00]: if you think it's ball four challenge if it's really even then because then if you're early in it because it's another pitch and we saw this in the game with the answer there was a couple like really obvious cause there was one obvious call he missed that would have been an easy challenge but you didn't have the challenge and the other thing I think that's that is I think it's not a coincidence
47:41.155 --> 47:44.659
[SPEAKER_00]: that since Adley's been out, the challenge has been a lot worse.
47:44.679 --> 47:55.151
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Adley, by far, is the best at challenge as Munger catchers, is the best at knowing when to challenge both situationally and knowing his balls and strikes.
47:55.732 --> 47:58.976
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, which is interesting because he's also the best pitchframer.
47:59.376 --> 48:01.619
[SPEAKER_03]: He's best at yanking that ball back in before the up.
48:02.007 --> 48:14.411
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but doesn't it feel like now Josh the new skill set that catchers need to have is knowing the strike zone and what's about 100% because pitchframence going away Right because the challenges are here to stay exactly.
48:14.691 --> 48:21.433
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're just going to get more or get go fully electronic one day Yeah, no, I think we'll stick with the challenges for a while though
48:21.879 --> 48:36.253
[SPEAKER_03]: well yeah we will yeah so that's we need out of the back of for nothing us and to challenge oh and we are concussion getting hit in the ear and uh but at least it wasn't even thrown that hard I'm surprised even with the right amount
48:37.568 --> 48:51.416
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but it's the, it's, hopefully we can, if we can sweep this angel series, I mean that's going to get us what two games below 500 and really like making a push again.
48:52.356 --> 48:53.657
[SPEAKER_03]: Really start to get people's attention.
48:54.532 --> 49:05.681
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and if Brad is in Rodgers, I mean, I'm really paying attention to Rodgers next start because I he might have turned the corner and if he can be like it was last year along with Bradish, how he's pitching, I mean, that gives us a pretty one good one to punch.
49:06.722 --> 49:08.823
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, what's your happens there?
49:09.944 --> 49:13.647
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we've got Baz and Gibson for the next for these two games.
49:14.279 --> 49:16.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I think Bazz is good.
49:16.981 --> 49:18.142
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's been pitching well.
49:21.305 --> 49:23.166
[SPEAKER_00]: It was an interesting start last time at Gibson.
49:23.186 --> 49:24.307
[SPEAKER_00]: We had the bad first inning.
49:24.327 --> 49:25.488
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's you see a lot of pictures.
49:25.508 --> 49:27.109
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they figure out their pitches and get a lot better.
49:27.129 --> 49:33.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but it sounds like Josh once Kramer who pitched, I think he just pitched the other day for Norfolk.
49:34.255 --> 49:42.798
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, povitch pissed yesterday or on sunday for the bass acts, I think went to Wells comes back and seems like Gibson will be the guy to go.
49:43.999 --> 49:46.520
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we'll see how it gets in less Gibson.
49:46.560 --> 49:46.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
49:46.700 --> 49:47.460
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is extremely well.
49:47.480 --> 49:57.004
[SPEAKER_03]: Then it's also that time of the season where you could go to a six man and try to get people more rest to try to get through the season or move
50:00.006 --> 50:03.107
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, yeah, it's just a couple more starts before the All-Star break.
50:03.127 --> 50:09.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you can do funny stuff where he can go Norfolk during the All-Star Yeah, exactly after like you can get really creative and fun with it now.
50:09.231 --> 50:13.434
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so we have this Angel series then we have the Nationals We're playing good ball.
50:13.574 --> 50:14.294
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the white.
50:14.334 --> 50:16.936
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it isn't the white socks and the cubs after that.
50:17.116 --> 50:25.701
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe So all all games that are all teams that are well, they're good, but they're also around the same as us record wise
50:26.490 --> 50:28.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I would argue that we have better rosters.
50:29.392 --> 50:30.912
[SPEAKER_00]: We did all those teams.
50:30.932 --> 50:31.113
[SPEAKER_00]: We did.
50:31.133 --> 50:32.073
[SPEAKER_03]: We have underperformed.
50:32.673 --> 50:32.853
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
50:33.734 --> 50:36.275
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, what do you mean to ask you about this?
50:36.355 --> 50:37.756
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going on for a while.
50:38.356 --> 50:40.638
[SPEAKER_00]: This is based on, this is based by related, all right?
50:41.058 --> 50:41.478
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
50:41.758 --> 50:42.779
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going on for a while.
50:42.839 --> 50:44.740
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just, we haven't talked about it all.
50:45.240 --> 50:46.701
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope you enjoyed that Orioles talk.
50:47.141 --> 51:00.247
[SPEAKER_00]: Every time I see it I think that oh this must be granting your gears because and I think it's fun But I think oh somewhere Josh is shaking his fest because it's baseball fans at the game having fun What do you thoughts and all these shirtless guys in the outfield?
51:00.468 --> 51:03.249
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the right across the the what is it tarps off?
51:04.610 --> 51:15.415
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, tarps off Tarps off ever runs to the spot in the bleachers or something and I like it you like it I'm surprised well here because young people are excited and they're excited about real baseball
51:15.856 --> 51:20.179
[SPEAKER_00]: Even in a close game, are they painful attention to the game where they just trying to get on camera, Josh?
51:20.499 --> 51:21.640
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell them what you really think.
51:21.660 --> 51:25.443
[SPEAKER_03]: Well hold on, I don't think they do it unless you're like, it's a close game and you're trying to come back, right?
51:26.424 --> 51:27.304
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, is that I'm going to do it?
51:27.324 --> 51:28.065
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a blowout.
51:28.145 --> 51:29.106
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like a rally cap.
51:30.287 --> 51:32.388
[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't aware of how it was used.
51:32.448 --> 51:34.850
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like a new rally cap type thing or a celebration.
51:35.550 --> 51:35.811
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
51:36.031 --> 51:37.212
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm cool with that.
51:38.873 --> 51:40.394
[SPEAKER_00]: The first thing I saw was in Miami.
51:40.414 --> 51:41.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Did it start in Miami?
51:41.455 --> 51:43.216
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you know the origins of the tarps off?
51:44.486 --> 51:46.508
[SPEAKER_03]: I believe it started it with a soccer match.
51:47.169 --> 51:48.290
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's a soccer thing.
51:50.112 --> 51:51.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that mean I thought it was more?
51:51.433 --> 51:55.177
[SPEAKER_03]: And I thought it was St. Louis, let's see.
51:55.237 --> 52:03.025
[SPEAKER_03]: Group of college club baseball players visiting St. Louis decided to take their shirts off and upper right field bleachers to energize a sleepy crowd.
52:03.766 --> 52:05.668
[SPEAKER_03]: It is so much better than the wave.
52:09.305 --> 52:31.567
[SPEAKER_03]: The Dodgers had the wave going on early in the game and here's what happened in that game first game The crowd got all excited with the tarps off guys and the Cardinals then rallied for a walk off wind So the team got to keep it up so then the manager in the post game praised those guys with the tarps off We're waking up the crowd and the team to get that win
52:32.047 --> 52:33.148
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's where it comes from.
52:33.428 --> 52:34.568
[SPEAKER_03]: That's why I'm all in on it.
52:34.688 --> 52:41.832
[SPEAKER_03]: Plus it's celebrating real baseball, not this banana ball or cosmic ball or what there's a third one now I've seen.
52:42.112 --> 52:46.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at Josh, speak so speak so negatively towards it.
52:46.094 --> 52:48.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he's the guy in the first row in all these games.
52:48.575 --> 52:48.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
52:48.895 --> 52:49.676
[SPEAKER_00]: Josh.
52:49.956 --> 52:50.856
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a 12-year-old.
52:50.876 --> 52:51.797
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
52:52.257 --> 52:53.137
[SPEAKER_03]: I have two 12-year-olds.
52:53.277 --> 52:54.358
[SPEAKER_03]: So I go to these things.
52:54.898 --> 52:56.299
[SPEAKER_03]: But I will speak negative about them.
52:57.032 --> 52:59.133
[SPEAKER_00]: I, you mentioned the, the soccer fans.
52:59.153 --> 53:00.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you're aware of this.
53:00.694 --> 53:01.815
[SPEAKER_00]: The World Cup is coming on.
53:01.955 --> 53:03.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Happening in the United States right now.
53:03.595 --> 53:04.056
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm working.
53:04.456 --> 53:05.757
[SPEAKER_00]: What would your rather have Josh?
53:06.437 --> 53:10.579
[SPEAKER_00]: The United States, who are big underdogs, but I've played really well the first few games.
53:11.039 --> 53:19.844
[SPEAKER_00]: Would your rather the United States win the World Cup against the world or the Orioles win a World Series?
53:19.984 --> 53:20.925
[SPEAKER_00]: What would mean more to you?
53:21.305 --> 53:25.567
[SPEAKER_00]: A United States World Cup or a little Baltimore World Series?
53:27.289 --> 53:32.674
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I am up to speed that the U.S.A. soccer team has won two games.
53:33.155 --> 53:35.117
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, they just be Australia to go to now.
53:35.557 --> 53:39.101
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're going to make it out of their first little, I don't know what you call it, first bundle.
53:39.501 --> 53:45.207
[SPEAKER_03]: And I am familiar that on Saturday, you could go to stake in shaking to get a 20 cent milkshake thanks to that second win.
53:45.689 --> 53:46.550
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not aware of that.
53:46.930 --> 53:48.431
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have a local stake in shakes.
53:48.531 --> 53:51.073
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, there's not up here where I'm at either.
53:51.113 --> 53:51.934
[SPEAKER_03]: So it didn't help me.
53:53.015 --> 53:57.819
[SPEAKER_03]: But um, they could win the next, they could win the next five games.
53:58.559 --> 53:58.739
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
53:59.140 --> 54:02.162
[SPEAKER_03]: And I still won't care as much as the Orioles making the playoffs.
54:03.083 --> 54:08.867
[SPEAKER_00]: Making the play, you would rather order me to play off than the USA win the World Cup 100%.
54:09.568 --> 54:10.509
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my goodness.
54:10.589 --> 54:11.970
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you saying you have World Cup fever?
54:11.990 --> 54:12.310
[SPEAKER_03]: You haven't
54:13.844 --> 54:15.765
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched some of the U.S.A. Australia match.
54:15.945 --> 54:17.386
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watched clips too.
54:18.027 --> 54:18.547
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that.
54:18.567 --> 54:19.768
[SPEAKER_00]: I watched a bit live.
54:20.689 --> 54:24.771
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I watched messy and his hat trick.
54:24.931 --> 54:26.272
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw all the clips.
54:26.652 --> 54:28.954
[SPEAKER_03]: I watched a little bit of the Netherlands game live.
54:29.534 --> 54:33.077
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, last night, I watched a little bit of the left of the Netherlands game live.
54:33.437 --> 54:36.159
[SPEAKER_03]: So a couple clips live as I walked past the television.
54:36.939 --> 54:38.360
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you turn it off and turn on the rooster.
54:38.740 --> 54:39.741
[SPEAKER_03]: There's other people watching.
54:39.781 --> 54:40.582
[SPEAKER_03]: I just left the room.
54:40.642 --> 54:40.902
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
54:41.674 --> 54:48.377
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm excited for the USA and I'm rooting for the USA, but yeah, obviously give me a world series and yeah, I'll be with you, prodigy, you can play out with parents.
54:48.697 --> 54:53.159
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't more about the Oreos sweep in the angels than the World Cup.
54:53.399 --> 54:54.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I want to go that far.
54:54.359 --> 54:54.939
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go that far.
54:54.959 --> 54:55.680
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to go that far.
54:55.700 --> 54:56.560
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me a sweep.
54:57.040 --> 54:57.581
[SPEAKER_03]: I would take.
54:57.781 --> 55:00.302
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys, it's World Cup over a sweep.
55:00.702 --> 55:01.262
[SPEAKER_00]: I would do that.
55:02.643 --> 55:04.383
[SPEAKER_00]: That's far as I'll go though.
55:04.503 --> 55:08.505
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll take Gunner, Gunner hit in 200 runs tonight over the World Cup.
55:09.473 --> 55:11.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, all right, I'm sorry even approach this subject.
55:12.036 --> 55:17.282
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, I don't care about soccer I know, but this is not just soccer Josh.
55:17.742 --> 55:19.244
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like the Olympics is different.

[SPEAKER_00]: He was drunk.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
56:23.427 --> 56:23.567
[SPEAKER_03]: He did.
56:23.587 --> 56:23.827
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
56:23.847 --> 56:24.087
[SPEAKER_03]: He did.
56:24.287 --> 56:24.408
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
56:24.428 --> 56:24.568
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:24.588 --> 56:24.788
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:24.808 --> 56:25.108
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:25.568 --> 56:25.789
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:25.809 --> 56:25.949
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:25.969 --> 56:26.109
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.129 --> 56:26.369
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.389 --> 56:26.569
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.589 --> 56:26.830
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:26.870 --> 56:27.090
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:27.150 --> 56:27.330
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:27.350 --> 56:27.790
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:27.810 --> 56:28.011
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:28.031 --> 56:28.291
[SPEAKER_00]: He did.
56:29.482 --> 56:30.463
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've read it.
56:31.384 --> 56:36.070
[SPEAKER_03]: I stand by my theory that this all gets settled.
56:36.110 --> 56:38.493
[SPEAKER_03]: If the Dodgers win the World Series, there's no lockout.
56:38.813 --> 56:41.176
[SPEAKER_03]: If the Dodgers do not win the World Series, there's a lockout.
56:42.197 --> 56:43.298
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll get the simple set.
56:43.759 --> 56:47.743
[SPEAKER_00]: It does make me happy that we saw the Dodgers play and Cal Tucker's stinks.
56:48.324 --> 56:50.386
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is the guy that calls so much drama.
56:50.747 --> 56:56.453
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the Dodgers just destroying baseball because they signed Cal Tucker and Cal Tucker's terrible.
56:56.513 --> 57:01.718
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's people say this could, if he continues this way, it could be the worst contract in Chris Davis.
57:02.299 --> 57:03.400
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:04.181 --> 57:10.508
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Major League Baseball cannot be serious with their responses to the Player's Association.
57:12.155 --> 57:16.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, although our partners want, they're insane asks.
57:16.117 --> 57:16.877
[SPEAKER_00]: They're ridiculous.
57:17.317 --> 57:20.799
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's as simple as a kid's ain't no, no, no, no, no, no.
57:21.119 --> 57:21.919
[SPEAKER_03]: They're ridiculous.
57:22.340 --> 57:22.580
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:22.960 --> 57:24.201
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's not, it's not real.
57:24.681 --> 57:30.443
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're saying no, so then that when they give up some of it, it looks like they're the good guys when they're not right.
57:30.743 --> 57:33.245
[SPEAKER_00]: Because, yeah, I agree that's what they're doing.
57:33.685 --> 57:36.266
[SPEAKER_00]: But to me, the ask seems so insane.
57:36.666 --> 57:36.866
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
57:37.547 --> 57:40.468
[SPEAKER_00]: That it does, it's not even a good starting point.
57:41.724 --> 57:50.456
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they want to eliminate high school players coming out, eliminate the international player signing, make everyone go to college and the draft.
57:50.916 --> 57:51.137
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
57:51.377 --> 57:54.041
[SPEAKER_03]: Like is that because they want to get rid of minor league baseball?
57:54.441 --> 57:55.362
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
57:55.382 --> 57:59.027
[SPEAKER_00]: Because they want to save money because they don't want to pay for all these minor league teams.
57:59.688 --> 58:03.212
[SPEAKER_00]: B, if you wait for players to come out of college, what happens?
58:03.572 --> 58:07.115
[SPEAKER_00]: It means they reach for agency later in their career.
58:07.336 --> 58:07.536
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
58:07.556 --> 58:09.918
[SPEAKER_00]: So you don't have any 23, 24, 24, 25 year olds.
58:09.938 --> 58:10.759
[SPEAKER_00]: They're all 30.
58:11.079 --> 58:11.800
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're more developed.
58:11.840 --> 58:12.761
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're more developed.
58:12.981 --> 58:13.902
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're more developed.
58:13.962 --> 58:14.923
[SPEAKER_03]: So you know what you're getting.
58:15.213 --> 58:29.676
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, high school, yeah, you don't need to develop in an afternoon, but it's something that's so ridiculous and such a change that it's like, oh, yeah, we'll put this in here, so then when we give that up, it looks like we gave something up when we really gave nothing up.
58:30.136 --> 58:38.378
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm surprised Rubenstein would be for international draft when he's just spent millions of dollars on that new facility to, to, to, to, you know,
58:42.356 --> 58:45.419
[SPEAKER_03]: Could you imagine a major league baseball got rid of minor league baseball?
58:45.879 --> 58:47.661
[SPEAKER_03]: It would change so much stuff.
58:48.582 --> 58:49.603
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
58:50.023 --> 58:54.808
[SPEAKER_03]: It's ridiculous, it's nothing that could ever really happen, and it's so just silly.
58:55.943 --> 58:57.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, I agree.
58:57.986 --> 59:02.812
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but it also, you hear that and you think, oh, man, there's going to be a lack out, right?
59:02.832 --> 59:04.293
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if that's where the owners are starting.
59:04.434 --> 59:07.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and then they say, oh, we'll take away the international draft.
59:07.477 --> 59:07.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
59:07.938 --> 59:09.680
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, though, well, then that's not a starting point at all.
59:10.321 --> 59:15.247
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and I worry that this is going to, there's so far apart that I worry about this down the road.
59:15.850 --> 59:21.714
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think baseball can handle, I can afford a lockout.
59:22.535 --> 59:23.095
[SPEAKER_03]: Baseball?
59:23.536 --> 59:26.197
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you've noticed, but there's more excitement about baseball.
59:26.958 --> 59:30.721
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, baseball went down and now it's really definitely on the upswing.
59:31.061 --> 59:32.242
[SPEAKER_03]: Kids are back in the baseball.
59:32.262 --> 59:33.643
[SPEAKER_03]: You're seeing more people go to games.
59:33.963 --> 59:35.424
[SPEAKER_03]: You're seeing TV radians go up.
59:35.884 --> 59:37.365
[SPEAKER_03]: People are caring about baseball.
59:37.385 --> 59:38.406
[SPEAKER_03]: They're stars again.
59:38.967 --> 59:50.395
[SPEAKER_03]: We went forever where it felt like we didn't have big stars in baseball And we've got some now people know O'Connie, whether you watch baseball or not people know Deans and scuba people know these names.
59:50.856 --> 59:56.920
[SPEAKER_03]: That's we haven't had that many years so baseball can't afford to break again
59:57.961 --> 01:00:06.543
[SPEAKER_03]: It really took Cal Ripkin in the street to bring people back in the baseball after the last one and then there's nothing on the horizon like that to save baseball.
01:00:07.058 --> 01:00:07.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I agree.
01:00:08.098 --> 01:00:09.779
[SPEAKER_00]: And you mentioned some of these really great young players.
01:00:10.119 --> 01:00:13.380
[SPEAKER_00]: You did mention Jacob mid mid mid mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid, mid.
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:14.840
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I'm not even following him at all, Josh.
01:00:15.200 --> 01:00:20.741
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that book we read a while ago about the guy who was throwing like 105 and they were talking about like change the rules because he can't throw that hard.
01:00:20.861 --> 01:00:22.482
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like the, uh, the author.
01:00:22.922 --> 01:00:25.322
[SPEAKER_03]: The, the, the, like the flaster, all those are flamethrowers.
01:00:25.342 --> 01:00:26.483
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the fastball maybe.
01:00:26.923 --> 01:00:29.984
[SPEAKER_00]: I knew that reminds me of this, that was kind of previewing.
01:00:30.284 --> 01:00:30.784
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:00:30.864 --> 01:00:35.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because he's out there throwing 104 and the fifth inning, like it's nothing.
01:00:36.603 --> 01:00:43.847
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it is and that's one where like that's the name people don't know that if you don't know baseball But if you watch baseball, you know that name.
01:00:44.107 --> 01:00:54.013
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but then it's season to get everyone to know So but yeah, no, I agree and this is I mean other sports are up to I mean the NBA just had a great final They're ready through through the roof.
01:00:54.593 --> 01:01:01.337
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and so the competitions out there for baseball So I agree they they they can't afford to lose grand elism momentum.
01:01:01.477 --> 01:01:04.259
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, have you seen the changes to the home on Derby?
01:01:06.421 --> 01:01:09.022
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw that, something like they get 20 pitches or something?
01:01:09.203 --> 01:01:12.425
[SPEAKER_03]: No, instead of pitches, it's now 20 swings.
01:01:12.785 --> 01:01:13.486
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, 20 swings.
01:01:13.526 --> 01:01:13.866
[SPEAKER_03]: So what?
01:01:13.926 --> 01:01:14.827
[SPEAKER_03]: I compete for.
01:01:15.107 --> 01:01:16.067
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it used to be timed.
01:01:16.628 --> 01:01:22.032
[SPEAKER_03]: Now you get 20 swings in the first round and 15 in the second and final round.
01:01:22.732 --> 01:01:24.493
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I guess I'm okay with that.
01:01:24.693 --> 01:01:25.394
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm all right with it.
01:01:25.594 --> 01:01:41.304
[SPEAKER_03]: It's I think it's too short net But I like and it there's some wiggle room there with how fast the pitcher can kind of throw that I Only look weird and it seems like it's healthier for the player To be able to like do is normal approach and not swing as fast as I can every time
01:01:41.929 --> 01:01:42.209
[SPEAKER_00]: right.
01:01:42.909 --> 01:01:43.590
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see.
01:01:44.010 --> 01:01:45.030
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just a great event.
01:01:45.070 --> 01:01:46.290
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking forward to the home and Derby.
01:01:47.011 --> 01:01:47.211
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
01:01:47.411 --> 01:01:48.711
[SPEAKER_00]: Hope Peter loves us in there, right?
01:01:49.512 --> 01:01:51.912
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's fun seeing him dominate for the match.
01:01:52.453 --> 01:01:55.413
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I would think you and you have to invite Peter on.
01:01:55.434 --> 01:01:57.154
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm so.
01:01:58.675 --> 01:02:02.096
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, who's the kind of one at last year?
01:02:02.596 --> 01:02:04.537
[SPEAKER_03]: The big dumpper or whatever.
01:02:04.557 --> 01:02:05.857
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Colorado here.
01:02:06.313 --> 01:02:09.235
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I believe his stats suck this year.
01:02:09.475 --> 01:02:14.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what he just, yeah, but he had a oblique injury or something or remember, he just came back.
01:02:14.737 --> 01:02:20.460
[SPEAKER_00]: His first game back was against the oils and he, and so people saying maybe the injury was a reason he was off to a really bad start.
01:02:21.301 --> 01:02:23.942
[SPEAKER_00]: And now, but yeah, he's not going to, I don't think he's going to be in the home run.
01:02:24.122 --> 01:02:24.903
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to be in the home.
01:02:24.923 --> 01:02:27.324
[SPEAKER_00]: Derby, or the author game based on this year.
01:02:27.684 --> 01:02:32.427
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, they, I don't know if they automatically invite the person that wanted the previous year.
01:02:33.237 --> 01:02:36.947
[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought you would do it coming back from injury just to you wouldn't think we could go.
01:02:36.967 --> 01:02:37.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
01:02:38.070 --> 01:02:38.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't seem like a smart man.
01:02:41.299 --> 01:02:41.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright.
01:02:43.263 --> 01:02:43.443
[SPEAKER_00]: Good.
