[SPEAKER_06]: multiple articles every day.
01:24.805 --> 01:35.131
[SPEAKER_06]: So if you're always looking for some more written content related to the d-backs, especially as we get, you know, kind of near the final month of the season here, then even into like the playoffs and then the offseason, the place we're going to want to be is a snake pit.
01:35.691 --> 01:38.012
[SPEAKER_06]: So you can easy snake pit.com is where you want to be.
01:38.113 --> 01:45.977
[SPEAKER_06]: But we are here to discuss a d-backs series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, which was a little bit closer, not too much.
01:47.678 --> 01:51.722
[SPEAKER_06]: Like one side of games I would say pretty much the entire series here was actually pretty close, which was nice.
01:51.742 --> 01:55.166
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll come diving into game one where everything started off on Friday night.
01:55.626 --> 01:58.669
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a matchup of Blake's nil versus Zach Galen.
01:59.450 --> 02:02.333
[SPEAKER_06]: Blake's nil obviously big off season acquisition for the Dodgers.
02:02.393 --> 02:10.081
[SPEAKER_06]: Shocker Shocker is on the pitch thirty-seven things it's here as gay predicted because the Dodgers every time they sign somebody they're just arms just fall off or they have some kind of injury.
02:11.141 --> 02:15.564
[SPEAKER_06]: Blake's now making what I believe one of his first or one of his few starts since returning from the I.L.
02:15.584 --> 02:19.206
[SPEAKER_06]: but Zach Allen was better than Blake's now in this one which everybody had on their bingo card.
02:19.787 --> 02:24.029
[SPEAKER_06]: Zach Allen went six innings only allowed two hits three walks for the walks were still in the shoe.
02:24.389 --> 02:29.393
[SPEAKER_06]: Shrek are eight but the big key obviously not allowing a single run which means he did not allow any home runs.
02:29.993 --> 02:33.195
[SPEAKER_06]: So his career high in home runs a lot of the season does not
02:33.715 --> 02:34.635
[SPEAKER_06]: get any bigger from there.
02:34.655 --> 02:41.657
[SPEAKER_06]: Boys Alexander did get the D-Vex started in the fourth and he had a two-run shot there and absolutely pimped the ball.
02:42.037 --> 02:53.240
[SPEAKER_06]: He had a four-hundred feet, a hundred and seven miles an hour after that and there's seventh home run this season and then Gabriel Moreno continuing to kind of stay hot here after returning from the aisle.
02:53.840 --> 02:57.401
[SPEAKER_06]: He drove in another run here so he's been playing pretty pretty well in his last slide say like
02:58.081 --> 03:05.606
[SPEAKER_06]: Seven games has an over seven hundred OPS, so that's really nice to see from Gabby, really missing some production from our catch spot, and that's where we're getting from him.
03:06.026 --> 03:08.167
[SPEAKER_06]: And then the bullpen, there's really a kind of locked things down.
03:08.247 --> 03:10.528
[SPEAKER_06]: Beaks, back is in woodford all combined to go three innings.
03:11.029 --> 03:13.490
[SPEAKER_06]: A total of one hit, one walk, and two strikeouts.
03:13.510 --> 03:18.153
[SPEAKER_06]: So we're really really solid, especially the matchup.
03:18.533 --> 03:25.958
[SPEAKER_06]: Any line up with even, I know mookie bets isn't out in the best way, but any line up with Otani bets freeman didn't even will submit through just seem to be a D-back killer, which we'll get to him in game three.
03:27.058 --> 03:30.499
[SPEAKER_06]: It's always have to hold them down and D-Bex did keep the Dodgers scoreless.
03:30.539 --> 03:33.420
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe the second shed out of the season against the Dodgers.
03:33.940 --> 03:35.640
[SPEAKER_06]: I think the last one was in Arizona.
03:35.960 --> 03:36.961
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not mistaken either way.
03:37.021 --> 03:41.002
[SPEAKER_06]: It is the second one of the year and it was a great momentum starting in a great way to start off the weekend.
03:41.362 --> 03:43.983
[SPEAKER_06]: As again, the D-Bex took this game a score of three to nothing.
03:44.023 --> 03:45.583
[SPEAKER_06]: Wasn't a blowout, wasn't anything super crazy.
03:46.123 --> 03:48.324
[SPEAKER_06]: But there was a lot of good in here, and I want to pass the game.
03:48.344 --> 03:49.404
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you like here in game one?
03:49.704 --> 03:56.827
[SPEAKER_06]: For me personally, I think probably what you'll go with and probably what a lot of people were, is that gown who has been really, really solved in the second half so far.
03:57.567 --> 03:58.728
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me look at his numbers.
03:58.768 --> 04:07.471
[SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, he is pretty much in the top part of the league with like worst ERAs, but over his last seven games, he has a three O, seven ERA.
04:08.111 --> 04:09.412
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's very nice for that count.
04:09.452 --> 04:11.013
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe not for us going into free agency.
04:11.053 --> 04:12.474
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe some of the teams are going to be interested in him.
04:12.494 --> 04:15.015
[SPEAKER_06]: But looking back at game one on Friday night, what did you like?
04:15.075 --> 04:16.817
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you maybe not like as much?
04:17.217 --> 04:20.619
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe if there's a couple of bats or a couple of moments here that you wanted to highlight and talk about.
04:22.058 --> 04:35.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, the main thing is that Galen just the way he's able to finish off August after having a really, I mean, yes, you know, dismal season so far, but I mean, after the deadline, he's had six starts.
04:36.067 --> 04:44.072
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a two point five seven year age in those six starts, he has in thirty five innings and he has a one point zero nine whip and I think that's the most important part of it.
04:44.092 --> 04:44.432
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just
04:44.912 --> 04:46.975
[SPEAKER_00]: who are the most worried is keeping guys off of the base.
04:47.015 --> 04:51.480
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not walking as many guys as he was throughout the season.
04:52.141 --> 04:57.006
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, yeah, nine walks to two to twenty eight strikeouts.
04:57.947 --> 05:01.151
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a really good, let's really give clip from where he had been.
05:01.231 --> 05:04.575
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even in July, he had five walks and thirds just strike out.
05:04.615 --> 05:04.715
[SPEAKER_00]: So
05:05.856 --> 05:21.173
[SPEAKER_00]: As the as the season has gone on he's been getting a lot better at controlling the walks and getting a little bit more strikeouts than than before, but just this month, I mean, overall you just did really good and then just haven't just fact that you was able to go six innings against the Dodgers as well.
05:21.673 --> 05:22.733
[SPEAKER_00]: How far is six?
05:22.993 --> 05:31.396
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had five ratings, everything else has been six innings, which is currently valuable for this team, especially with the way the bullpen has been so far.
05:31.976 --> 05:36.037
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm being able to go to six innings, so then the bullpen doesn't have to go, you know.
05:38.258 --> 05:47.424
[SPEAKER_00]: Four innings, five innings, like the way that we're in Milwaukee with some of those starts, just absolutely cast from that road trip and him giving them a chance to win.
05:48.025 --> 05:58.372
[SPEAKER_00]: And this team, I mean, they eventually ended up scoring some runs on Blake's now courtesy of, I believe this was the, um, the core of a Carol home.
05:58.812 --> 05:59.753
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Corp.
05:59.793 --> 06:00.654
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it wasn't Corp.
06:00.694 --> 06:03.297
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was the blaze, the blaze Alexander home around there.
06:03.317 --> 06:04.978
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the home around the blaze.
06:05.859 --> 06:07.581
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of all the offices they needed.
06:07.601 --> 06:12.025
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has just, there's really impressive ones, especially with the bullpen.
06:12.045 --> 06:12.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the bullpen wasn't.
06:14.087 --> 06:21.154
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the best yesterday, but overall, I think the both in there, they're the job the way they had to do it.
06:21.234 --> 06:29.261
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was just nice to start off the beginning with the win, being able to at least give us some hope at least in the meantime.
06:36.360 --> 06:36.840
[SPEAKER_06]: that you saw.
06:37.141 --> 06:38.601
[SPEAKER_06]: So I was a, I don't want my keyboard clocking.
06:38.621 --> 06:42.244
[SPEAKER_06]: He's definitely turned around for that guy on the last month that I definitely did not expect.
06:42.284 --> 06:43.404
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think a lot of us had that.
06:44.465 --> 06:47.887
[SPEAKER_06]: Especially what we saw for, you know, he was kind of treading in the direction he did not want to go to.
06:47.947 --> 06:50.949
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, we've been talking about a bunch done C-twenty-twenty-three all-star break.
06:51.390 --> 06:52.710
[SPEAKER_06]: He is not looked like this at gun.
06:52.730 --> 06:57.994
[SPEAKER_06]: I know he had a couple of solve performances in that twenty-twenty-three post-season, especially against the Dodgers.
06:58.114 --> 07:02.797
[SPEAKER_06]: I still, every time I see that guy on Facebook, Freddie Freeman, I still get flashbacks to that.
07:03.698 --> 07:07.302
[SPEAKER_06]: strike out that he had, or he just absolutely buckled framing on a curve ball like right down the middle.
07:07.983 --> 07:10.886
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, so he's definitely outside of a few performances here and there.
07:10.926 --> 07:14.029
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not like the Zach gallon of old, but this last month he really has.
07:14.049 --> 07:15.311
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, again, the three R.A.
07:15.691 --> 07:19.275
[SPEAKER_06]: Nothing like super insane, not like the, the gallon that we got that was, you know,
07:20.196 --> 07:25.339
[SPEAKER_06]: Breaking brain and web score, let's treat Gregory, record, putting his name into science, talks there.
07:25.399 --> 07:32.362
[SPEAKER_06]: But enough to where he might potentially get a couple, maybe not that big contract that he was looking for originally as a boss client.
07:32.843 --> 07:42.408
[SPEAKER_06]: But if he keeps pitching like this in a season, I think whether it's us or some team is going to be willing to give him like maybe a three, four or five year deal with an opt-out at the first year, kind of like a pedal on, so kind of like prove it.
07:42.968 --> 07:46.670
[SPEAKER_06]: to where he's not going to just get the qualifying offer and other teams are going to be interested.
07:47.151 --> 07:55.656
[SPEAKER_06]: I think if he keeps pitching like this then we're going to see him definitely be one of the more sought after pitchers on the freeage of market because you know people always need pitching especially us to hopefully we can at least retain him.
07:56.897 --> 08:01.880
[SPEAKER_06]: Probably won't be as expensive as he was you know in twenty twenty three we thought it would be a year or two go but
08:02.500 --> 08:08.302
[SPEAKER_06]: His values definitely training in a direction that it was a completely the opposite of going into August.
08:08.362 --> 08:22.006
[SPEAKER_06]: But Brandon, passing on to you down my friend, what did you like here in Game One, whether it was Galand if you wanted to add on or highlight something else about his start or something else in Game One here that you wanted to put the spotlight on and discuss.
08:22.932 --> 08:31.817
[SPEAKER_02]: So, on our last episode, Gabe and I were theorizing, maybe Blaze is coming up because Pavans probably want to go on the I.L., they did Call of Jordan Lawler.
08:32.798 --> 08:33.978
[SPEAKER_02]: He did play in this game.
08:35.779 --> 08:43.124
[SPEAKER_02]: And, yeah, this nothing seems to be really changing with him, and he is no confidence.
08:44.040 --> 08:47.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like Tyler Lock, like both of them have no confidence.
08:48.523 --> 08:52.265
[SPEAKER_02]: But for me, Jordan, it's not like Locklear.
08:52.525 --> 08:55.747
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's Jordan's probably never gonna play back to back days.
08:56.667 --> 09:02.090
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they literally said that he's gonna probably play two to three times a week, and it's gonna be on the left side.
09:02.130 --> 09:03.311
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's playing third base.
09:05.632 --> 09:07.113
[SPEAKER_02]: He looked great defensively.
09:08.775 --> 09:09.995
[SPEAKER_02]: but he still looks lost at the plate.
09:10.816 --> 09:15.737
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he had like, I think he's now even more hesitant to swing.
09:17.057 --> 09:23.579
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, because there were, there were, I think it was Sunday.
09:23.619 --> 09:29.260
[SPEAKER_02]: He had a strike out that he just looked bad looking on a very, very edible pitch.
09:29.320 --> 09:35.822
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but shout out to Galen, like, maybe he finally realized, oh, I need to pitch well if I want to get paid.
09:37.582 --> 09:39.983
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's really what he's done the last month, like we said.
09:40.663 --> 09:42.464
[SPEAKER_02]: He pitched thirty five endings this month.
09:42.784 --> 09:46.045
[SPEAKER_02]: He's only given up ten or so that two point five seven ERA is pretty good.
09:46.766 --> 09:50.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Since July first, his ERA is not too bad.
09:51.087 --> 09:52.348
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a three point seven four.
09:52.508 --> 10:01.972
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not awful opponents are slugging just under four hundred, which seems crazy because he's given up a lot of homers the last two months.
10:03.152 --> 10:04.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, sixty one strikeouts.
10:05.773 --> 10:10.695
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so like not awful, but it's not the like kind of Brett said.
10:11.215 --> 10:17.758
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not the two hundred million dollar phrase and contract that he thought he was going to get in twenty twenty three.
10:18.358 --> 10:20.599
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's definitely not happening.
10:21.639 --> 10:36.445
[SPEAKER_02]: if he pitches September like he did October maybe he gets a hundred million like maybe someone gives him like three years hundred or like four years like one ten maybe I think that's his really his best shot
10:40.042 --> 10:42.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, he's looked really, really, really good.
10:44.965 --> 10:48.647
[SPEAKER_02]: And in this game, James McCann was supposed to start.
10:48.767 --> 10:53.550
[SPEAKER_02]: He was in the initial starting lineup, but he tweeted his lower back, so they had Gabby go.
10:54.430 --> 10:55.891
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was interesting.
10:56.191 --> 10:56.831
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what that means?
10:59.533 --> 11:00.894
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby was the one called the pitches.
11:01.766 --> 11:05.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Normally, it starts past with Gabby.
11:05.627 --> 11:09.969
[SPEAKER_02]: It was all gallant, but it's worked really well with James McCann, Colin Pitches.
11:10.709 --> 11:13.870
[SPEAKER_02]: Zach only shook off Gabby a couple of times in this start.
11:15.010 --> 11:17.411
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's, it's very interesting.
11:17.551 --> 11:22.452
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that seems to be what it is, and we theorized it that Zach should stop calling his pitches.
11:22.972 --> 11:23.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he just,
11:25.067 --> 11:26.287
[SPEAKER_02]: It just, it wasn't working.
11:26.587 --> 11:27.828
[SPEAKER_02]: And look what happened in the last month.
11:27.868 --> 11:35.689
[SPEAKER_02]: James McCann was, I think, behind the play on every single one of his starts, he was calling the pitches and Zach has looked really, really good.
11:36.669 --> 11:49.952
[SPEAKER_02]: So also, blaze that his freaking bat flip just staring into the Dodgers dug out as he hits that Homer into the, uh, left field, uh, bullpen for the Dodgers was really, really great.
11:50.412 --> 11:51.492
[SPEAKER_02]: So blaze has been,
11:52.529 --> 11:54.030
[SPEAKER_02]: absolutely amazing.
11:54.490 --> 11:58.533
[SPEAKER_02]: Since he started playing full time, which is why I want Wallowed to play every day.
11:59.414 --> 12:01.215
[SPEAKER_02]: This is why he needs to play every day.
12:01.536 --> 12:07.880
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the only way that he's going to get better as he needs to see Major League pitching, playing two to three times a week.
12:08.500 --> 12:09.881
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just not going to do it.
12:11.883 --> 12:13.704
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just not.
12:15.405 --> 12:18.568
[SPEAKER_02]: I know everyone's calling him a boss saying he should be traded.
12:18.608 --> 12:20.289
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you're not going to get anything for him.
12:21.387 --> 12:26.768
[SPEAKER_02]: He's literally what, over twenty nine, I think, with like, twenty strikeouts.
12:28.649 --> 12:29.749
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't bear out the ball.
12:30.149 --> 12:32.630
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's the thing that's most frustrating with Jordan Lawler.
12:32.670 --> 12:34.150
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not making any contact.
12:34.930 --> 12:37.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is weird, because he destroys the ball in Reno.
12:38.831 --> 12:39.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:39.192 --> 12:43.613
[SPEAKER_02]: And once, like, people saying to sit him back down the Reno, he has nothing more to learn in Reno.
12:44.333 --> 12:44.513
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:44.533 --> 12:47.434
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to see that he destroys the ball in Reno.
12:47.454 --> 12:48.594
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to see Major League pitching.
12:49.118 --> 12:50.519
[SPEAKER_06]: He literally just needs consistent time.
12:50.539 --> 12:52.380
[SPEAKER_06]: And again, it sucks.
12:53.181 --> 12:58.445
[SPEAKER_06]: It's hard to give a guy consistent time when he's, you know, striking out two, three, four times a game, not getting a hit.
12:58.465 --> 13:05.970
[SPEAKER_06]: But, and I know the postseason isn't, you know, kind of, even after that loss against the Dodgers, which we'll get into second.
13:06.370 --> 13:07.251
[SPEAKER_06]: It seems like it's far out.
13:07.951 --> 13:09.012
[SPEAKER_06]: They're not out of it.
13:09.072 --> 13:11.314
[SPEAKER_06]: We've seen crazy things happen or crazy things happen.
13:11.334 --> 13:13.876
[SPEAKER_06]: So I get it like what they're still technically unlimited.
13:13.916 --> 13:15.357
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't want to just give up at bats.
13:17.278 --> 13:22.743
[SPEAKER_06]: You still gotta figure out going in the offices and you don't want a big question mark around Jordan dollar going into spring training next year.
13:23.203 --> 13:25.265
[SPEAKER_06]: So at some point you gotta just let him get a runway.
13:25.665 --> 13:30.029
[SPEAKER_06]: And yes, I say that as somebody who does have another financial investment into Jordan dollar, I get it.
13:30.109 --> 13:31.250
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I get it.
13:32.191 --> 13:35.914
[SPEAKER_06]: I got a lot, but even just speaking outside of that, like you gotta give him a little bit more of a runway.
13:35.974 --> 13:37.195
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think you can call the bus yet.
13:37.756 --> 13:38.456
[SPEAKER_06]: Again, it's
13:39.337 --> 13:40.418
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike Trout didn't even have it.
13:40.458 --> 13:42.159
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not even at the same amount of abats that Mike Trout.
13:42.179 --> 13:43.040
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not saying he's Mike Trout.
13:43.460 --> 13:46.742
[SPEAKER_06]: We can sometimes players, you got to give him a little bit of room to make some errors.
13:46.763 --> 13:48.404
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it, for all the predominant is first of year.
13:48.424 --> 13:51.146
[SPEAKER_06]: He was pretty rough, pretty rough to watch.
13:51.686 --> 13:53.868
[SPEAKER_06]: Now he's turning around once he got consistent playing time.
13:54.874 --> 13:57.557
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, he had to work out the kinks even in his full year playing time.
13:57.577 --> 14:05.807
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully you can turn around but yeah, the the blaze that is that is really not to see from blaze like he has been absolutely cooking he has been a you could say blaze and hot.
14:05.827 --> 14:11.314
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean again, nothing super right home about but seven seventy four OPS through hundred fifty two at bats a season.
14:11.814 --> 14:14.115
[SPEAKER_06]: He's the same one based percentage as Corbin.
14:14.555 --> 14:17.676
[SPEAKER_06]: He has an over seven hundred OPS in his last fifteen games.
14:18.036 --> 14:21.017
[SPEAKER_06]: He has an over I believe nine OPS in his last seven.
14:21.037 --> 14:22.257
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's been selling them all.
14:22.277 --> 14:23.217
[SPEAKER_06]: He's still striking out a bunch.
14:23.417 --> 14:33.900
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that because even Jack's numbers have a tweet about some of these young D-backs guys like Blaze, Locklear, Lawler, even Barossa, like Lawler, the young guys that they've called up Vukovitch.
14:36.081 --> 14:55.560
[SPEAKER_06]: any young guy that caught up with had a little bit of a strikeout issue here in the middle of the level so far so if you can just you know kind of get that locked in but like Brandon said what do you what a shock when you get consistent playing time yeah you know I just want to point out the fact also like I mean we've seen this in blazed like you last year when he came up he was blazing hot like that we made all these news about him because
14:56.200 --> 15:23.226
[SPEAKER_00]: That first month he was just absolutely tearing the cover off the ball and then the month after he just completely struggled just the strike and I wake too much not hitting very well and then getting sent down to Reno because he just really struggled after a couple of months and what's the league adjusted he couldn't adjust back and so this season when he came up he struggled but he was getting every day play and then he finally put things together and I believe for this model he's been in my two-fifty with almost an a hundred OPS which is
15:23.846 --> 15:25.687
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, kind of what you want from him.
15:25.707 --> 15:28.228
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't think it's just power.
15:28.308 --> 15:34.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you want power from the third base position, which is why I was referred to a lauler over blaze.
15:35.410 --> 15:39.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I think lauler also has stronger arm and more steady hands and blazes as well.
15:40.232 --> 15:47.596
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, like he said, you used to want that question to be lingering in the office in the whole time or even coming into coming out of spring training.
15:47.657 --> 15:54.801
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully, uh, Loller can get more consistent at batch because like, you know, we saw with, uh, blaze.
15:55.521 --> 15:56.782
[SPEAKER_00]: He's getting consistent at bats.
15:56.822 --> 15:57.882
[SPEAKER_00]: He's putting these together.
15:57.902 --> 15:59.623
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we need out of these young guys.
15:59.663 --> 16:05.567
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't just give him ten at bats a week and then say, Oh, oh, he's not hitting like, Oh, yeah, of course, it's not hitting.
16:06.047 --> 16:07.208
[SPEAKER_00]: You're making him face off again.
16:07.228 --> 16:08.068
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a place now.
16:08.108 --> 16:08.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Yamamoto.
16:09.729 --> 16:16.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Yamamoto twice, Blake's now, um, Robbie Ray, like, they literally put them against the best pictures in the league.
16:17.274 --> 16:21.456
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single time he's gone out there, like, let him face off against Patrick Corbin.
16:21.516 --> 16:24.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's a certain guy that he can maybe tee off of.
16:24.318 --> 16:24.938
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know, man.
16:25.038 --> 16:29.421
[SPEAKER_06]: Patrick Corbin and Republican President C turns into fucking shrine Randy Josh.
16:29.481 --> 16:31.562
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually did that on stream.
16:34.242 --> 16:36.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, looking at this as like a warrior A this season.
16:36.523 --> 16:39.283
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like he has a two point five or something like that.
16:39.323 --> 16:40.363
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not blinks now.
16:41.484 --> 16:45.885
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I like so I just think he needs time and he needs to be able to bad.
16:45.925 --> 16:49.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he mentioned there's a more there's nothing else he can do in Reno.
16:49.365 --> 16:56.207
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they didn't they just don't much sliders and he's can be able to hit him in Reno just to make things majorly pitching different.
16:56.807 --> 16:57.727
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's such a big step.
16:57.767 --> 16:59.248
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, he's twenty-three years old.
16:59.768 --> 17:00.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Blaze is twenty-six.
17:01.628 --> 17:05.529
[SPEAKER_00]: So for everyone saying, you know, trade-loller, keep Blaze.
17:05.629 --> 17:07.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Blaze turns twenty-seven years old next year.
17:07.849 --> 17:08.869
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's only going to get older.
17:09.710 --> 17:12.890
[SPEAKER_00]: And those reflexes get a little bit slower as you age as well.
17:13.010 --> 17:21.012
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to have the same issue with Blaze in, you know, in a couple of years that we have with a whole lot of other guys, you know, a lot sooner than we would with Lollar.
17:22.814 --> 17:26.376
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so I think it'll definitely be one of those where he just needs a little bit more of a runway.
17:27.016 --> 17:34.921
[SPEAKER_06]: And especially I think if we if we struggle in these next few weeks and we basically use solidify us not even having a chance of the wild card, then I feel like just fuck it dude.
17:35.081 --> 17:42.185
[SPEAKER_06]: Just give them some playing time, let them struggle like what else could work like, you know, like you said like we're in said, you gotta get this confidence up, let them face some of these, you know,
17:42.985 --> 18:01.336
[SPEAKER_06]: not sion caliper pictures that have a mid to's e array in like blakes milling y'all emoto were even established guys like Corbin Carroll could tell me or taste and guys like like that the struggle against him to give him some guys again yes it is he's been solidly but again it's a four-year a patch Corbin let him face in these higher e array guys
18:03.037 --> 18:04.599
[SPEAKER_06]: and hopefully you can give his a conference up here.
18:04.619 --> 18:08.962
[SPEAKER_06]: But I want to highlight some of our comments here from the chat here because again, we appreciate you guys every single time.
18:09.583 --> 18:12.946
[SPEAKER_06]: Either even if you're listening to us out of the fact that you're on the YouTube chat, we appreciate you guys too.
18:13.006 --> 18:16.109
[SPEAKER_06]: But those of you that are here, the chat with us, want to highlight some of the things here.
18:16.629 --> 18:22.395
[SPEAKER_06]: Even Scott McEggree's, he calls him the L boys in Lollar and Lockler, saying both Black holes in the line.
18:22.415 --> 18:28.840
[SPEAKER_06]: But at the moment, it is their borderline, basically, turning into Jose Herrera's part two and part three.
18:29.641 --> 18:31.843
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, which is a little bit unfortunate there.
18:32.363 --> 18:38.509
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I'm Harold, in regards to gallons and his best bet, and maybe one year deal to prove himself again and get a huge contract next year.
18:38.929 --> 18:39.910
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think that's probably what's going to be.
18:39.930 --> 18:45.254
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's going to be a penalized situation where you get to at least a couple of year of a deal with an opt-out.
18:45.875 --> 18:47.977
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, because I don't think I'll get a one year.
18:48.517 --> 18:51.440
[SPEAKER_06]: I worse the one year, but my get a couple of year with an opt-out, but, uh,
18:52.836 --> 18:55.917
[SPEAKER_06]: Oscar, obviously, those are coming here and just poke the bear.
18:56.577 --> 18:58.198
[SPEAKER_06]: Says, Lawler is a bus trade for Lindor.
18:58.998 --> 19:00.498
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, we already got the best sports out in baseball.
19:00.518 --> 19:02.699
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't need an overhyped, three hundred million dollar shorts out.
19:02.939 --> 19:10.481
[SPEAKER_06]: That's, that's not good as our boy, Frog Domo, who apparently does, does not like the, or is not in on the nickname, as much as the rest of us are.
19:12.401 --> 19:17.002
[SPEAKER_06]: Even Scott Max and Max as a blaze has, or blaze, played this point has greatly improved.
19:17.402 --> 19:19.523
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's funny enough, again, I know,
19:21.269 --> 19:27.189
[SPEAKER_06]: It's it's not the same player, but gets you as one more home run and around almost a hundred plus that that's this year.
19:29.407 --> 19:32.569
[SPEAKER_06]: It's our designated hitter, pavementsmith, who might miss the rest of the season.
19:32.589 --> 19:33.329
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's fun.
19:34.089 --> 19:39.432
[SPEAKER_06]: That blazes already almost mashed to season home run totals in around a hundred or a hundred, maybe like ninety-something less A.B.s.
19:40.173 --> 19:44.535
[SPEAKER_06]: Oscar also says in chat, the thing is that he may not get consistent at bats, he should at least give a good at bat.
19:45.075 --> 19:45.756
[SPEAKER_06]: That is a problem for me.
19:45.776 --> 19:47.336
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's, I think that's a very, very point.
19:47.376 --> 19:51.819
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it does start that sort of as that bat, he does get into pretty, you know, quick, O-two, one-two counts.
19:52.379 --> 20:17.028
[SPEAKER_06]: on the dozen of striking out like you know when I believe Gabriel Brandon was saying he doesn't really bear up any balls seems like he's just not really having any good like not even really good at bats where he it kind of goes up there whether he's looking for specific pitch doesn't get it I know a lot of pitch is probably no like hate throwing breaking balls it's been a big issue we've talked about it other people talked about it hasn't adjusted to it for the at the major level so that is one thing that I would like to see him
20:17.668 --> 20:42.003
[SPEAKER_06]: Even if it starts just to be some fell and off get some hard hit fell balls and some breaking balls start to have longer TVs North to count a little bit more but just put the ball and play a little bit more because when you put the ball and play you get things happen and then once you try to put the ball and play you can get a little bit more confidence built up that way like hey I hate it right at the guy but I hit that thing like you know hundred miles an hour or he made a really really good play to prevent me from getting a base at there so it builds it that way but I do agree with Oscar and just needs a little bit more
20:46.040 --> 20:47.621
[SPEAKER_06]: I'd say like competent about it.
20:48.182 --> 20:56.467
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think he had a couple of hardouts.
20:56.527 --> 21:02.451
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, his last bad against play training, play training is playing training.
21:02.692 --> 21:05.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's having the easiest run way out.
21:05.313 --> 21:08.676
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, play training is discussing that he took five pitches from him.
21:09.616 --> 21:10.977
[SPEAKER_00]: So he wasn't a complete, you know,
21:12.098 --> 21:12.978
[SPEAKER_00]: nothing out there.
21:14.279 --> 21:29.125
[SPEAKER_00]: But then in the eighth, I mean, he did their door three balls three down the middle, but at ninety eight miles an hour from ten or Scott and you was able to put some decent contact off of it, but it was just a good defensive play from the from geek ass.
21:29.165 --> 21:33.627
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, he could have gotten the hit right there, but they just made a good play off of it, but
21:34.628 --> 21:43.458
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good to see them make good solid contact, at least in Sunday's games, make some contact, at least work to count a little bit more than yet.
21:43.498 --> 21:47.843
[SPEAKER_00]: So I feel like you know, turnaround is coming like out-hopey place today.
21:47.883 --> 21:48.824
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my main thing.
21:48.844 --> 21:53.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, then play against the lefty in Petra Corbin doesn't have the best numbers ever.
21:54.030 --> 22:00.574
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't get that confidence up and so, you know, he's able to get that first and because I think, he just, he presses.
22:00.734 --> 22:03.175
[SPEAKER_00]: He starts pressing just like everybody else in his lineup.
22:03.235 --> 22:05.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this isn't anything new about these dynamics.
22:05.336 --> 22:09.819
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of them press and then, you know, they get themselves out.
22:10.119 --> 22:17.743
[SPEAKER_00]: So, right now, I think the way things are going, I mean, we can talk about them as well, but block clear, lock clear is an absolute zero.
22:17.803 --> 22:20.944
[SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of just a does this season for him.
22:20.964 --> 22:21.305
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
22:22.285 --> 22:25.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if the, I guess Reno is still going.
22:25.288 --> 22:32.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe set him down there, but the problem is we set him down, then somebody else gets hurt.
22:32.273 --> 22:32.933
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of it.
22:32.993 --> 22:34.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Paving is out.
22:34.154 --> 22:39.558
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think going forward, Vogue, I should take that, that first base bot.
22:39.598 --> 22:41.079
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been swinging pretty decently.
22:41.160 --> 22:47.765
[SPEAKER_00]: So having Vogue out there at first, I feel a lot more confident than, you know, having lock through there, just,
22:48.505 --> 22:51.186
[SPEAKER_00]: be in an absolute black hole, like I don't say in the comments.
22:51.206 --> 22:57.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you're giving them three free outs with him and you so far you've been giving them three free outs with law law as well.
22:57.208 --> 23:00.909
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can have six free outs in this lineup every single day.
23:00.969 --> 23:08.112
[SPEAKER_00]: So you put one in or you take one out like it has to be one or the other one, but for the most right to think.
23:08.812 --> 23:11.173
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen what we needed to see from locker the Earth's season.
23:11.233 --> 23:12.313
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to get any better.
23:12.373 --> 23:14.633
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been getting consistent at bats since being brought up.
23:14.693 --> 23:16.634
[SPEAKER_00]: So with him, I do think he's a guy.
23:16.654 --> 23:22.095
[SPEAKER_00]: You could probably just bench and then completely retool his swing for next season because I think that's the main problem right now.
23:22.135 --> 23:22.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's his swing.
23:22.675 --> 23:23.635
[SPEAKER_00]: It's completely broken.
23:24.255 --> 23:27.236
[SPEAKER_00]: He just has no power, no anything.
23:27.276 --> 23:28.616
[SPEAKER_00]: He has no control over that swing.
23:28.656 --> 23:38.238
[SPEAKER_00]: So things maybe shut him down for the season, retool him for next season and then hopefully turns out to be, you know, a major league caliber first baseman.
23:39.613 --> 23:41.014
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so the Vargas is an interesting one.
23:41.034 --> 23:43.556
[SPEAKER_06]: He's only played like twenty three innings total at first base.
23:44.517 --> 23:47.260
[SPEAKER_06]: And that was back in twenty twenty, the making mouse season.
23:48.201 --> 23:57.849
[SPEAKER_06]: So definitely be an interesting transition, but I mean, it might be one of those where you take what you can get, at least with some a little bit of a positive on the app side versus maybe a little bit native defense.
23:57.909 --> 23:59.270
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not like he's, you know, stellar defense.
23:59.290 --> 24:00.071
[SPEAKER_06]: He is at least, you know.
24:01.532 --> 24:10.840
[SPEAKER_06]: It's serviceable at first base, but there's definitely going to be some big question marks around him, even some luller going into the offseason, the things continue the way they're currently going.
24:11.400 --> 24:12.601
[SPEAKER_06]: And if they end the season, the way they are.
24:12.641 --> 24:19.046
[SPEAKER_06]: But thankfully, we didn't have to worry about, you know, they're not the focus too much on those players in game two.
24:19.507 --> 24:28.994
[SPEAKER_06]: As really the offense in the game two here, would you believe me if I said it was a pitcher's duel where Ed Warrer Rodriguez and Tyler Glass now were basically going bar for bar with each other?
24:29.815 --> 24:38.587
[SPEAKER_06]: And in the year of our Lord, twenty twenty five Eduardo Rodriguez outside of four walks was borderline matching Tyler glass now anyway.
24:38.627 --> 24:39.969
[SPEAKER_06]: So he rode with six innings.
24:40.009 --> 24:45.417
[SPEAKER_06]: He only give a four hits did walk for four strikeouts for no home runs, but I'm okay with walking.
24:46.318 --> 24:54.305
[SPEAKER_06]: As long as the runs don't come around, especially in some of those situations, you can avoid leaving that's something over the middle and like a three-two count to one of the more dangerous dangerous hitters than I do it.
24:54.785 --> 24:58.088
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's like that gown.
24:58.128 --> 25:00.210
[SPEAKER_06]: He's the the jekyll and hide at what a rudder he is.
25:00.891 --> 25:06.836
[SPEAKER_06]: Still putting up the same numbers or worst numbers and erod in his contract here, so if we could see him turn that around a little bit, it'd be a little bit better.
25:08.257 --> 25:10.999
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, he's been, at least better here in this game.
25:11.699 --> 25:13.500
[SPEAKER_06]: But the D-backs were kind of getting shut down there.
25:13.540 --> 25:16.002
[SPEAKER_06]: There were no hit through five innings against Tommy Glass now.
25:17.403 --> 25:19.944
[SPEAKER_06]: Who was, again, really, really solved.
25:20.284 --> 25:23.346
[SPEAKER_06]: But to nobody surprised, once again, he's only at sixty eight innings pitched.
25:24.427 --> 25:31.031
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think Gabe, the season, or before the season said that neither Hamor Blake's now would reach a hundred twenty one and combine the season.
25:31.051 --> 25:32.652
[SPEAKER_06]: They're not even at a hundred twenty one for the both of them.
25:34.273 --> 25:39.957
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's just a fun little fun little thing there, but he was keeping the feedbacks hitless into the fifth inning.
25:40.538 --> 25:41.238
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe they got.
25:41.258 --> 25:44.261
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me see which hit it was because I know somebody else broke it up.
25:45.001 --> 25:48.804
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was sixth inning ahead by Vargas.
25:49.236 --> 25:51.079
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so Vargas broke up the no hit in the sixth inning.
25:51.940 --> 25:56.105
[SPEAKER_06]: You did not come around a score, but then the the Dodgers out of chance there.
25:56.165 --> 25:59.450
[SPEAKER_06]: The Dodgers had a chance to kind of score there.
25:59.470 --> 26:03.815
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe it was in the the fitting before that runs around second and third.
26:04.456 --> 26:06.417
[SPEAKER_06]: Otani had a fly ball to Loris Garelle Jr.
26:06.838 --> 26:21.687
[SPEAKER_06]: And Loris just absolutely gunned down and reggae Hernandez at home, where I think that was a little bit more of the Dodgers movie that should have been in his eyesight, kind of telling him to slide because he didn't even slide, he just tried to go into home play standing and Gabby got the tag on him.
26:22.147 --> 26:24.769
[SPEAKER_06]: It wasn't enough evidence to overturn it, so the college is stood.
26:25.389 --> 26:28.791
[SPEAKER_06]: Could have gone both ways, but thankfully the original call on the field was out so they could no return it.
26:29.111 --> 26:35.154
[SPEAKER_06]: So the guys did turn a double play when there's another second and third with nobody out and the Dodgers don't get any runs across there.
26:35.515 --> 26:41.918
[SPEAKER_06]: But the he backs it do end up breaking these years or your tie in the seventh inning as Corb him Carroll make sure you use Corb him.
26:42.798 --> 26:44.960
[SPEAKER_06]: He went four eleven with one of six off the bat.
26:45.920 --> 26:51.367
[SPEAKER_06]: against how to glass out on a first pitch of the ending of Slider that just hung from the last of the terrible sliders.
26:51.467 --> 26:57.474
[SPEAKER_06]: Slider in on the hands, but Corbin got the barrel down on it, launched it out for his twenty coming of the year, made a one-nothing game.
26:57.494 --> 27:00.878
[SPEAKER_06]: Then the D-backs hit two different doubles, which is it's funny.
27:00.898 --> 27:02.941
[SPEAKER_06]: It was backed back to doubles, but the run didn't score.
27:02.961 --> 27:04.723
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm assuming he's cause Lorda said to hold up there.
27:05.403 --> 27:14.688
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, but the heads up play Gabby Marino had a sackfly that scored Lordess, but then a, uh, a misplayed ball from a, the Andy, or Andy Paws threw it in.
27:15.208 --> 27:17.429
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, your tornadoes kind of misplayed the ball at third base there.
27:17.489 --> 27:22.932
[SPEAKER_06]: So Blizz was able to come around all the way from second base on that fly ball and two runs score in one sackfly that made it a three nothing game.
27:23.452 --> 27:27.874
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, Dodgers got one more there on a mookie bets single in the, uh, seventh inning.
27:28.554 --> 27:46.872
[SPEAKER_06]: So they immediately answer back and again our bullpen is a little bit scary and a little bit shaky but thankfully we got a little bit more insurance there with two outs the device put together a a little bit or oh I guess not two outs blaze got a single and then with two outs Tyler Lockler worked actually a pretty solid I bet he ended up getting a walk after being down one two in the count
27:47.232 --> 27:49.953
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I'll do more of our, yes, absolutely cramped one.
27:50.314 --> 28:02.340
[SPEAKER_06]: He got a four seam reprimates right over the middle of the plate, sent it four hundred and twenty three feet, a hundred and four miles an hour off the bat to give them some much need insurance, made it six to one d-backs and then the bullpen took care of the rest of the work there.
28:02.360 --> 28:11.324
[SPEAKER_06]: A one two three nine thinning, including a really really nice diving, I guess sliding play from Corbin here all there in right field, solidify the d-backs, six one win and solidify the series win.
28:11.725 --> 28:13.445
[SPEAKER_06]: And the momentum was just going up from there.
28:13.465 --> 28:15.006
[SPEAKER_06]: That was the d-backs fourth win in a row.
28:16.707 --> 28:19.128
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, they don't normally play too well in Dodger Stadium.
28:19.148 --> 28:24.952
[SPEAKER_06]: So it was really best to see them take these first two and allowing only one run across eighteen inning to the Dodgers.
28:24.992 --> 28:32.196
[SPEAKER_06]: So analyzing everything we saw here, obviously, Carol and Blaze were the own, Carol, Blaze and Vargas were the only two that had multi-hit games in here.
28:33.276 --> 28:34.277
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you like from this game?
28:34.317 --> 28:38.539
[SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, whether it's E-Rod, whether it's Corbin's Home Run, maybe even the Vargas with the Clutch it.
28:38.819 --> 28:41.341
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you want to highlight here in Game Three that really stood out to you?
28:41.421 --> 28:43.422
[SPEAKER_06]: Or Game Two here that really stood out to you in the D-Bex win?
28:44.790 --> 28:46.632
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Corbin's adjustment.
28:46.732 --> 28:51.476
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the strategy that he had in the first inning against Tyler Glass, now it was a slider inside.
28:51.496 --> 28:55.839
[SPEAKER_00]: And that little corner spot and was a home run that he hit in the seventh.
28:56.420 --> 28:58.401
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a slider in the exact same spot.
28:58.662 --> 29:02.765
[SPEAKER_00]: The difference is he adjusted to it and he, you know, could, you know, he spotted it up.
29:03.145 --> 29:06.328
[SPEAKER_00]: And he, I believe he had an at bat in the fifth inning.
29:07.109 --> 29:09.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Glass out through him with pitch there too, but it was a sink at that time.
29:09.771 --> 29:11.852
[SPEAKER_00]: He just ended up flying out or popping up.
29:13.134 --> 29:21.321
[SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like he was ready for that slider and he adjusted to it and was able to hit it out there and I think that's something that we've been seeing from Corbin this last couple of years.
29:21.341 --> 29:25.945
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just his ability to adjust and not strike out the way he had early on this season.
29:26.005 --> 29:29.027
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the main things that we've been talking about with Corbin.
29:30.329 --> 29:34.473
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been striking out a little bit too much this season.
29:34.493 --> 29:43.182
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a whole new swing, but he also, you know, has that bone chip and, you know, he had some other things.
29:43.262 --> 29:47.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I made it a little bit hard for him to actually get some actual real power and then re-tooled in the swing.
29:47.946 --> 29:49.188
[SPEAKER_00]: And he seems to be coming around.
29:49.248 --> 29:52.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, right now he's betting what to hit the eight for the season or two, hit the six.
29:54.912 --> 29:55.572
[SPEAKER_00]: at two fifty eight.
29:56.233 --> 29:57.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing that I mentioned.
29:57.913 --> 30:07.915
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the last, the last couple of times on the podcast shows that it seems like he's underperforming most of just because his, his average is a bit low.
30:08.695 --> 30:20.217
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know average is everything, everything, but I know a guy with carosability, he should be able to have a two, seventy, two, eighty batting average along with the power and everything else that he has.
30:21.018 --> 30:22.958
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just been struggling that way too much this season, but
30:24.059 --> 30:26.441
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been doing it for the last month in the last thirty games.
30:27.181 --> 30:35.427
[SPEAKER_00]: He has eight homeruns, twenty one in our PI, sixteen walks, which is the huge improvement, and then thirty three strikeouts and eight stolen bases.
30:35.507 --> 30:38.590
[SPEAKER_00]: So we saw him just not being able to steal early on the season.
30:38.930 --> 30:45.235
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the average and on base since like in his two ninety one three seventy and six oh seven.
30:45.315 --> 30:48.978
[SPEAKER_00]: So he has a nine seventy seven OPS in the last month.
30:49.498 --> 30:52.322
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I think he can be and should be going forward.
30:52.363 --> 31:02.998
[SPEAKER_00]: So I do think of you average out these numbers for the rest of the season and with this new swing and seems like he's finally got you know got it down and he has it where he needs to be.
31:03.058 --> 31:03.519
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think
31:04.540 --> 31:19.806
[SPEAKER_00]: going into next season, he could be able to put a some money on him for a probably forty-fourty season and then repeat type season from Corbin Carroll because of the fact that seems like he's finally got that swing under control and he has the power that he's been needing all season.
31:21.212 --> 31:24.533
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, it's been nice to see the kind of the turnaround he's had, obviously.
31:24.973 --> 31:28.553
[SPEAKER_06]: The injury had a little bit of a time where he was, he was really struggling there.
31:29.074 --> 31:32.234
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, a nearly a chance to have a thirty-thirty season.
31:32.254 --> 31:43.996
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I don't think anybody, even when he was drafted, he was brought up, everyone was saying like, you know, I know he's a little bit small at the time, but they're like, yeah, that's guys, you know, speed guy could defense not really an arm, but he's like a twenty, like, fifteen, twenty home run guy.
31:44.336 --> 31:46.097
[SPEAKER_06]: The fact that he could be a thirty home run guy is
31:48.414 --> 31:48.994
[SPEAKER_06]: It's pretty crazy.
31:49.014 --> 31:57.877
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think, literally any of us saw that like coming, but, you know, if you could get the thirty, and especially if it wasn't for the Cold Street, you could have been like a thirty five plus home run guy.
31:57.897 --> 32:03.638
[SPEAKER_06]: What's okay, because the speaker Armstrong is clearly the person that everybody should be one another team around.
32:03.939 --> 32:04.859
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
32:04.879 --> 32:07.920
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to give a sleeper some shit for that, for no matter how long.
32:09.522 --> 32:11.763
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, the Corbin was with Stellar on this game.
32:12.464 --> 32:13.844
[SPEAKER_06]: That was just when you did make a good point.
32:13.924 --> 32:15.505
[SPEAKER_06]: He really turned on that pitch.
32:16.046 --> 32:18.787
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just been nice to see the triad that he's making, especially the stolen bases.
32:18.827 --> 32:23.129
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a big key because I mean, a three, three or three on base isn't like the most stellar.
32:23.149 --> 32:26.551
[SPEAKER_06]: Especially from Corbin, obviously, strikes out probably a little bit more than maybe we would hope.
32:26.992 --> 32:35.396
[SPEAKER_06]: But when, you know, you kind of had those kind of home run numbers and the triples and the doubles, you might take a little bit more swing and miss with that kind of offensive production.
32:37.157 --> 32:40.900
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, I think that he's definitely been a bright spot.
32:41.840 --> 32:44.982
[SPEAKER_06]: And if we can keep him, you know, maybe get none of this a little bit more.
32:45.022 --> 32:49.705
[SPEAKER_06]: If he can get to that thirty thirty mark, I know some of those numbers don't matter to really anybody other than like fans.
32:49.745 --> 32:51.967
[SPEAKER_06]: I know a lot of players like dude, I don't like, I don't care.
32:52.127 --> 32:53.468
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it's been done before.
32:53.508 --> 32:54.509
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not like that crazy.
32:54.889 --> 33:04.075
[SPEAKER_06]: It'd just be cool to be able to be like, yeah, Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb
33:04.495 --> 33:09.040
[SPEAKER_06]: I do think a soul bases in a month isn't out is or nine soul bases in a month isn't undoable.
33:09.440 --> 33:16.186
[SPEAKER_06]: We just need to see him get a couple more singles, but it's hard to see him get singles and walks when he's always hitting homeruns and triples and is already putting himself.
33:16.206 --> 33:17.387
[SPEAKER_02]: He would walk more.
33:17.687 --> 33:18.508
[SPEAKER_02]: It would happen.
33:19.429 --> 33:21.471
[SPEAKER_02]: For sure, but he does.
33:21.911 --> 33:30.219
[SPEAKER_02]: Like for him, it's like it's actually based like he literally, I think he's second behind judge in extra base hits and I'll eventually a baseball.
33:31.597 --> 33:38.187
[SPEAKER_06]: at the judges having insane you can't believe that in that franchise he's already fifth all time in home runs for the Yankees it's insane.
33:38.627 --> 33:47.520
[SPEAKER_06]: I still want to count it when MVP and I still hope that he does just because the nuclear meltdown that I'd see on Twitter from a certain fan base would be absolutely fucking hilarious, but
33:47.880 --> 33:55.383
[SPEAKER_06]: Brandon passing on the user, looking at game through here, whether it was the offensive side or the pitching side of the things, maybe even, sorry, getting to my bad.
33:55.984 --> 34:02.686
[SPEAKER_06]: Whether it was the offensive side, pitching side, or maybe even the defensive side of the game with that really good play from Lord us and Gabby.
34:02.986 --> 34:06.368
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you want to highlight here and talk about in the DBX six one went over the Dodgers?
34:07.130 --> 34:10.851
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really impressed by Eduardo Rodriguez.
34:11.171 --> 34:19.334
[SPEAKER_02]: For him to bounce back after that abysmal performance against the brewers, we're just couldn't get guys out there in the third inning.
34:19.854 --> 34:27.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Comes back and gets six shot out innings against the best team in baseball.
34:28.628 --> 34:30.949
[SPEAKER_02]: was I was really impressed.
34:32.269 --> 34:35.491
[SPEAKER_02]: But his ERA is still ridiculous.
34:35.531 --> 34:36.511
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like five point four.
34:36.591 --> 34:42.794
[SPEAKER_02]: Like with the amount of endings that he's thrown for his ERA to be that high is just insane.
34:44.234 --> 34:45.095
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going anywhere.
34:46.315 --> 34:48.536
[SPEAKER_02]: Like for everyone's like, we need to get better of them.
34:48.556 --> 34:50.617
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they need to do what they do with mad bum.
34:52.186 --> 34:58.189
[SPEAKER_02]: I doubt it because we are starting pitching depth is non-existent.
34:58.249 --> 35:05.433
[SPEAKER_02]: So they would have to go inside multiple guys, which I just based on the reports of them trying to reduce payroll.
35:05.813 --> 35:10.936
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have a lot of faith in that.
35:11.076 --> 35:19.261
[SPEAKER_02]: For people that we're saying we need to have a discussion at the beginning of the year that Jose Herrera was a better catcher than Gabby because Jose Herrera was hot for two weeks.
35:20.161 --> 35:20.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby has made
35:22.030 --> 35:25.572
[SPEAKER_02]: two phenomenal plays at home, but at home play.
35:25.672 --> 35:33.637
[SPEAKER_02]: And like the last, like since he came back, there was the Corbin Carroll tentating tag against the Reds, and then there was this one.
35:33.837 --> 35:35.578
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they weren't bad throws.
35:35.618 --> 35:37.899
[SPEAKER_02]: He just made them a little bit better.
35:39.060 --> 35:42.001
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it mooky does his job and tells Kika to slide.
35:42.021 --> 35:43.702
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not even close.
35:43.862 --> 35:46.304
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he is safe, but because he goes standing up,
35:47.570 --> 35:48.210
[SPEAKER_02]: It was close.
35:48.431 --> 35:58.196
[SPEAKER_02]: Like on the broadcast, they would tell like they definitely like Steven Ganzo were totally maybe they reversed the call and I'm like, I can see it because it.
35:59.157 --> 36:03.280
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, the call in the field was out and there was not enough to overturn.
36:03.300 --> 36:05.201
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, thank you because that.
36:05.861 --> 36:08.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, as soon as that ending happened, I'm like, oh, great.
36:08.024 --> 36:19.718
[SPEAKER_02]: Here comes another one of these erod four five run endings could give give up like three hits in a row, but that double play by Gary L and Gabby was huge.
36:20.118 --> 36:21.420
[SPEAKER_02]: So congrats.
36:23.876 --> 36:27.620
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing with Carol in it, like I didn't realize until gay brought it up literally.
36:28.101 --> 36:31.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Glasgow, glass now through that slider and every up back.
36:31.865 --> 36:34.587
[SPEAKER_02]: He struck him out and his first hit bat in the first.
36:34.948 --> 36:36.129
[SPEAKER_02]: He threw it again in the fourth.
36:36.209 --> 36:37.030
[SPEAKER_02]: Carol popped it up.
36:37.631 --> 36:42.395
[SPEAKER_02]: He did it a third time in the seventh and Carol goes yard.
36:42.536 --> 36:44.918
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that adjustment by Carol.
36:45.919 --> 36:57.265
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's something that just not a lot of people are talking is his ability to always be adjusting to how teams are pitching him every series.
36:57.805 --> 37:03.948
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he might struggle on one pitch or in a certain location in one series, team will try and go back there again.
37:03.968 --> 37:10.031
[SPEAKER_02]: And he makes them pay for it, which is why he is one of the most dangerous players.
37:11.512 --> 37:13.252
[SPEAKER_02]: I still think he is a top five player.
37:13.553 --> 37:14.253
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes really baseball.
37:15.023 --> 37:21.365
[SPEAKER_06]: If you guys have two top three top, I would say top ten players, multiple MVP candidates.
37:21.405 --> 37:26.386
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Prado was putting a name in there, his name in there, Carol, like like, thirty, thirty.
37:27.667 --> 37:28.667
[SPEAKER_02]: That's asking a lot.
37:29.227 --> 37:34.929
[SPEAKER_02]: I want the twenty, twenty, twenty because I think that is a more exclusive accomplishment.
37:35.789 --> 37:38.010
[SPEAKER_02]: because thirty thirty like happens quite a bit.
37:38.690 --> 37:41.452
[SPEAKER_02]: We haven't had a twenty twenty twenty season in a while.
37:41.972 --> 37:45.234
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm hoping if he can get because he's four triples away.
37:46.114 --> 37:48.856
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets one or two triples on this next home stand.
37:49.676 --> 37:57.400
[SPEAKER_02]: It is very doable because for Carol hit hitting triples at Chase Field is like how most guys hit doubles.
37:58.213 --> 38:07.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you hit in that right field gap or down the right field line, he does even, he's at second base when the ball, when the guys field in the ball there in the corner.
38:07.837 --> 38:15.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially if it takes a very odd weird bounce, which Carol knows that corner very, very well.
38:15.900 --> 38:17.521
[SPEAKER_02]: He plays anyone games in that corner.
38:17.901 --> 38:19.022
[SPEAKER_02]: So he definitely knows
38:20.042 --> 38:23.286
[SPEAKER_02]: how to read it from when he's running the basis.
38:23.626 --> 38:31.356
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, in that Vargas Homer, I was, I freaking yelled y'all because I was scared because it's our bullpan.
38:31.416 --> 38:32.197
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like three one.
38:32.217 --> 38:33.278
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't feel great.
38:33.738 --> 38:35.681
[SPEAKER_02]: He hit that three one Homer and I'm like, yes.
38:36.301 --> 38:37.062
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact is,
38:38.216 --> 38:41.518
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew Woodford was coming in and I was going to watch like this.
38:41.899 --> 38:42.499
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't watch.
38:42.919 --> 38:43.840
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't watch it.
38:44.060 --> 38:47.042
[SPEAKER_02]: Woodford go for a three one save.
38:47.122 --> 38:51.445
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was really, really glad that they've been able to kind of push that lead.
38:51.725 --> 38:58.930
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, it didn't make a difference, but it could have like coming back three one compared to six one is a lot different.
38:59.891 --> 39:01.532
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, shout out.
39:01.812 --> 39:05.935
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, Erod, I just need like, I don't need you to
39:07.127 --> 39:07.828
[SPEAKER_02]: throw shutouts?
39:08.308 --> 39:13.132
[SPEAKER_02]: I would like you to, you just can't have where we're down five or six before the fit.
39:13.573 --> 39:14.073
[SPEAKER_02]: You just can't.
39:14.273 --> 39:17.076
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's that is asking too much for this offense.
39:17.156 --> 39:26.824
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's when this offense tries to go home run or bust, which we've talked about that for what, almost two years now how it's not sustainable.
39:27.585 --> 39:32.726
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when we see them go on these three or four games where they just, they don't do anything.
39:33.886 --> 39:42.648
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the runners in scoring position numbers, like that for me, I think is where their struggles are is when they try and hit a home.
39:42.688 --> 39:44.748
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you have a guy on second with one out.
39:45.028 --> 39:46.068
[SPEAKER_02]: Get a single, drive him in.
39:46.569 --> 39:51.570
[SPEAKER_02]: Or as Tori says, building ending, single them to death or single and walks.
39:52.830 --> 39:53.910
[SPEAKER_02]: Chaos ball, like,
39:55.868 --> 39:57.289
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I really want to see.
39:57.309 --> 39:59.111
[SPEAKER_02]: The Homer's are nice.
40:00.052 --> 40:01.973
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just not sustainable.
40:03.074 --> 40:06.817
[SPEAKER_02]: And when they try and do it, it's when they really, really struggle.
40:07.518 --> 40:09.880
[SPEAKER_06]: When Gabe brings it up, he's called a madman.
40:10.040 --> 40:12.382
[SPEAKER_06]: He's called on a Twitter for being a Debbie Downer.
40:13.063 --> 40:14.364
[SPEAKER_06]: But then anybody else does it.
40:14.384 --> 40:15.365
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's like, yeah, wow.
40:16.806 --> 40:17.546
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you're onto something.
40:17.707 --> 40:20.429
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's almost like we've seen this for two years now.
40:22.281 --> 40:23.582
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully, hopefully, we can see them.
40:24.162 --> 40:26.363
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, again, we're hitting with our screen position as a big issue.
40:26.383 --> 40:32.187
[SPEAKER_06]: I've even seen a lot of like, during that, like, Yankee series against the Red Sox, or Red Sox series against Yankees.
40:33.327 --> 40:37.810
[SPEAKER_06]: I saw a lot of Red Sox fans that were posting a meme for Micronic Leon, all mind fans.
40:37.930 --> 40:40.191
[SPEAKER_06]: It was like a dad coming into the room with like a belt.
40:40.611 --> 40:44.614
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was, they were like, and then the sun's had a Red Sox logo on it.
40:44.814 --> 40:46.555
[SPEAKER_06]: It was like, it's hitting with risk time.
40:46.575 --> 40:47.715
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's like, no dad, no.
40:48.236 --> 40:50.237
[SPEAKER_06]: We're like, a lot of teams really struggle with the
40:50.717 --> 40:52.918
[SPEAKER_06]: hitting with ground position so it's not just a UX thing.
40:54.579 --> 40:59.121
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm pretty sure it's an under like three hundred average or maybe even under like probably.
40:59.561 --> 41:01.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a really great thing.
41:01.622 --> 41:07.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I think overall, I think every time, you know, I do check out the team's subreddit and every single time.
41:07.385 --> 41:09.486
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, we can't hit with ground position scoring position.
41:09.546 --> 41:12.107
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, who is hitting with ground position?
41:12.127 --> 41:13.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Because there's a number one team.
41:13.508 --> 41:14.888
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a number thirty team.
41:14.948 --> 41:16.769
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, the teams are at the top.
41:16.789 --> 41:18.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Usually are the better teams.
41:19.330 --> 41:24.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they'll have series where they'll technically bat like three hundred.
41:25.095 --> 41:39.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Four of that series run just composition, but we mentioned before it would be like one for eight and then seven for eight and then again one for eight so then it just seems like a lot higher average than it probably should have been at the end of the day, you know.
41:40.126 --> 41:43.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And this game, they did what they needed to do.
41:43.049 --> 41:48.334
[SPEAKER_00]: They just put in, they had clutch hits and they had clutch hits, this whole series, which is what we've been wanting to see.
41:48.615 --> 41:49.255
[SPEAKER_00]: We've mentioned before.
41:49.295 --> 41:51.498
[SPEAKER_00]: We just don't want them to rely on the home room ball.
41:51.738 --> 41:53.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And the series was why.
41:53.520 --> 42:03.590
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is the first time I feel like the entire season we've seen the true Diamondbacks baseball, you know, Toria, this whole season we've been starting by like, oh, we just need to get back to Diamondbacks baseball.
42:04.190 --> 42:06.492
[SPEAKER_00]: And we mentioned, like, what is dynamic space wall at this point?
42:06.592 --> 42:12.036
[SPEAKER_00]: Because dynamic space wall is, you know, striking out, grounding out, you know, inconsistent at bats.
42:12.096 --> 42:14.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's what the whole season has been.
42:14.377 --> 42:25.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And so seeing this, seeing them running, seeing them, cause chaos around the bases like with blaze, taking that extra base and having the ball just fall away from them.
42:26.365 --> 42:29.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, this was in a really ugly series for the Dodgers.
42:29.227 --> 42:33.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the dynamics just played a damn near perfect baseball and the Dodgers had a lot of errors.
42:33.830 --> 42:34.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the Keke won.
42:35.251 --> 42:40.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Glass now not covering third base, so he should have been there and been said he was covering home for some reason.
42:40.094 --> 42:43.456
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple of errors in the outfield with Teosker.
42:44.777 --> 42:49.782
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just the Dodgers played a really, really, really sloppy baseball in the Diabex took advantage of that.
42:50.022 --> 42:56.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what they need to do, like the need to put pressure on these teams to cause chaos and to cause them to make the plays.
42:56.928 --> 43:01.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, the, we're going to get to game three in a second, but they can get in hit.
43:01.472 --> 43:03.034
[SPEAKER_00]: So, what could Tom Arte do?
43:03.054 --> 43:03.554
[SPEAKER_00]: He buntered.
43:04.315 --> 43:09.437
[SPEAKER_00]: People didn't like that, but he was still early on that, you know, it wasn't the ninth inning.
43:10.257 --> 43:19.319
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, but they're playing him way ahead and the need of the guy getting on base and could tell did what he needed to do.
43:19.479 --> 43:21.380
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, that's on a Dodger.
43:21.400 --> 43:24.541
[SPEAKER_00]: So you guys are going to play him like that and expect somebody to do the bun.
43:26.320 --> 43:43.246
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it is nice to see them kind of play their the style of baseball that you know like you've said we're mostly here it was it was the very non-debex ball-esque like after that twenty twenty three run there is articles coming out where teams are like we need to build our teams like these guys like just athletes speed you guys doesn't need to be a bunch of homework and if you guys just make
43:44.226 --> 44:00.722
[SPEAKER_06]: make players sweat because even listen to that mookie best podcasts with the perdomo and he said he's like he's like he has been times out there in short stop where like I'm like what do I like I don't know what to do which fun thing hearing that from a major league or because I know sometimes coaches and little leagues like you don't you know major leagueers knows that they what they're going to do before the ball set sometimes they don't
44:01.342 --> 44:14.539
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes I don't, and we really saw that from the Dodgers, whether they were on offense, like, moving, not being there to tell KK to get down, or even on defense, just being a little bit sloppy, because even Hans Walker and our Tracer saying, just happy to see team playing hard regardless of playoffs.
44:14.979 --> 44:17.022
[SPEAKER_06]: And I do very, because even looking at the Brewer series,
44:18.103 --> 44:20.004
[SPEAKER_06]: Looking back at that game too, that could have been a win.
44:21.345 --> 44:29.369
[SPEAKER_06]: They were down eight to two, and they put together some great app ads, like Brandon said, with Tori signing like building and eating, they built some innings.
44:29.409 --> 44:40.676
[SPEAKER_06]: Didn't know that the rely on too many homeruns in there, like a couple here and there, but it was a lot of like DBX baseball walks, hits, you know, just having really good ABs to where even that series, they split it, but they still play pretty well.
44:40.716 --> 44:45.739
[SPEAKER_06]: Even in game one, wasn't the most beautiful game, I still think they lost by a couple runs,
44:46.880 --> 44:49.021
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, it's been really good baseball.
44:49.041 --> 44:55.345
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they've just been playing their best baseball of the year since the, um, since the trade deadline.
44:55.365 --> 44:57.867
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they've just been, you know, the pressures off there out there.
44:57.887 --> 44:59.348
[SPEAKER_06]: They're just like, hey, you know, let's go play.
44:59.688 --> 45:00.408
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's be spoilers.
45:00.428 --> 45:03.270
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's just play the baseball that we know to, or that we know how to play.
45:03.310 --> 45:05.091
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's kind of what we've been seeing them play.
45:05.651 --> 45:06.712
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been really, really good to see.
45:06.732 --> 45:09.694
[SPEAKER_06]: I like William Harold's comments like Homer's or fascist.
45:11.155 --> 45:12.396
[SPEAKER_06]: I got like a good chocolate in me.
45:13.136 --> 45:16.719
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Scott saying Christian Manimite Retune returned there this month.
45:16.759 --> 45:17.620
[SPEAKER_06]: Could be a spot starter.
45:18.080 --> 45:19.601
[SPEAKER_06]: And we'll have a little bit more on it.
45:19.661 --> 45:20.662
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe the possibility is that.
45:21.222 --> 45:24.685
[SPEAKER_06]: And then even some of the potential roster members that could be happening today.
45:24.705 --> 45:25.606
[SPEAKER_06]: Cause it's a timer first.
45:25.666 --> 45:28.868
[SPEAKER_06]: And we know that that means there's an extra two roster spots.
45:29.649 --> 45:32.511
[SPEAKER_06]: So we'll dive into that in a little bit here after we get in the game three of them.
45:32.531 --> 45:34.813
[SPEAKER_06]: Moving on to the game three, like I said, the divest did win the first two.
45:35.173 --> 45:39.196
[SPEAKER_06]: They came into yesterday's game on Sunday, looking for a sweep of the dodges, which I don't think we've
45:40.057 --> 45:42.900
[SPEAKER_06]: I think we've swept the Dodgers there either last year at some point.
45:43.240 --> 45:46.744
[SPEAKER_06]: It doesn't happen too often, and it would have gotten the D-Bax one right?
45:46.764 --> 45:49.147
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the last time that we swept LA at all.
45:49.723 --> 45:51.344
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it's definitely been a while.
45:51.364 --> 45:55.147
[SPEAKER_06]: So it would be nice to kind of get that that first sweep of the Dodgers since, twenty-eighteen.
45:56.088 --> 45:59.250
[SPEAKER_06]: And they would have gotten right back to five hundred on the season.
45:59.891 --> 46:02.873
[SPEAKER_06]: But things did not get off to a good start there.
46:02.993 --> 46:05.595
[SPEAKER_06]: Our, you know, games wanted to start and pitching was really good.
46:05.635 --> 46:07.036
[SPEAKER_06]: That was not the same case here.
46:07.617 --> 46:09.098
[SPEAKER_06]: As Brandon fought, really struggled on this one.
46:09.118 --> 46:11.380
[SPEAKER_06]: He's kind of had a really rough season here last.
46:11.780 --> 46:14.742
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe he started off the first month and a half two months, he was like our most consistent pitcher.
46:15.183 --> 46:16.544
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's really falling off the face of a clip.
46:16.644 --> 46:17.825
[SPEAKER_06]: And he went four and a third.
46:18.525 --> 46:27.149
[SPEAKER_06]: eight hits, four in runs, only one walk thankfully, five strikeouts, no home runs, surrender day, run the first sitting there, and the dog just kind of kept building on there.
46:28.369 --> 46:31.130
[SPEAKER_06]: Even like any poss, with any posss, it also had a pretty salty here.
46:31.170 --> 46:32.951
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's gave up two runs in the first thing my apologies.
46:33.391 --> 46:37.033
[SPEAKER_06]: So already put in the deep back behind the table, and when you're going up a picture like Yamamoto,
46:37.813 --> 47:00.838
[SPEAKER_06]: it's it's tough man like he's the only other guy like schemes got the the side in lockdown I say all the time of work he's got the the side in lockdown but y'all motors having a really really good season that shouldn't be you know forgotten about me next seven innings for hits uh no walks to hand strikeouts his era is at two eighty two uh and he's fast approaching uh he's already at a hundred and forty six innings with a hundred and sixty seven strikeouts so like
47:02.154 --> 47:12.785
[SPEAKER_06]: Very rare to see the Dodgers have a starting picture they signed that one doesn't just absolutely fall to pieces and have their arm explode, but he is really making that contract kind of look like a steal at this point.
47:13.546 --> 47:15.768
[SPEAKER_06]: So he was kind of showing that in the V-backs, Dodgers got a couple of runs.
47:16.709 --> 47:18.891
[SPEAKER_06]: V-backs did get one there, I believe a Corbin Carroll.
47:19.752 --> 47:20.312
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me find it there.
47:20.352 --> 47:27.974
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, or sorry, Adrian Delcacio cut the lean half made it two to one Dodgers Dodgers got one of those back immediately the next inning and then added on another one.
47:28.354 --> 47:31.735
[SPEAKER_06]: So it was four to one going into the later half of the innings.
47:32.395 --> 47:34.935
[SPEAKER_06]: Debex looked like they're kind of dead facing Tanner Scott.
47:34.975 --> 47:35.996
[SPEAKER_06]: No, he's been rough on the season.
47:36.016 --> 47:37.576
[SPEAKER_06]: Jordan, all their flight out.
47:37.916 --> 47:39.096
[SPEAKER_06]: Illinois Various flight out.
47:39.116 --> 47:40.156
[SPEAKER_06]: So there's two outs and the eighth inning.
47:40.556 --> 47:42.477
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's where the Dbex really did their Dbex ball.
47:43.350 --> 47:50.640
[SPEAKER_06]: Perdomo got a single, could tell Marta, he got a single, and then Corbin Carroll, who did homework against the Tanner Scott the last time we were in LA in a series.
47:50.800 --> 47:54.645
[SPEAKER_06]: If you guys remember that, go ahead to run shot in the X-Rennings, with the D-Vexable Fencing.
47:54.885 --> 47:55.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Exact same pitch.
47:56.487 --> 47:56.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
47:56.928 --> 47:58.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Go watch the replay, exact same pitch.
47:58.730 --> 48:08.958
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, foreseen fastball and ninety-seven on our fastball, basically on a fucking T. And Corbin did a lefty on lefty crime with opposite field, three hundred eighty feet, one hundred and three miles an hour for the bat.
48:09.338 --> 48:12.620
[SPEAKER_06]: And it tied the game up four, four on his twenty ninth home run of the season.
48:13.101 --> 48:15.443
[SPEAKER_06]: And the momentum was back, we were all super excited.
48:16.383 --> 48:20.747
[SPEAKER_06]: D-backs were able to shut down the dodging the eighth inning, went to the ninth inning, lock-leared.
48:20.887 --> 48:24.089
[SPEAKER_06]: Once again, didn't look good there, but again, facing Blake Trinin.
48:24.489 --> 48:27.672
[SPEAKER_06]: It's tough, him, Alec, and Jordan Allder went one, two, three.
48:28.942 --> 48:34.465
[SPEAKER_06]: Hopefully they would have gotten the extra things there, but of course, uh, known, debat killer.
48:34.905 --> 48:46.252
[SPEAKER_06]: And one of the more underrated catchers in the league, I mean, this guy's a nine-oh-one OPS Will Smith, not the guy that's famous for slapping Chris Rock, but the catcher got a pinched about there and gone absolutely fucking cookie.
48:46.432 --> 48:48.693
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I know John Curtis has been pretty solid.
48:48.713 --> 48:50.874
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, our bullpen, you will take what we can give from them this year.
48:51.274 --> 48:51.795
[SPEAKER_06]: But that was,
48:52.635 --> 48:58.078
[SPEAKER_06]: Probably one of the worst pitches you could, you know, he said, hey, Tanner Scott, you threw a ninety seven on our cookie.
48:58.358 --> 48:59.999
[SPEAKER_06]: How about I throw a ninety six on our cookie?
49:00.379 --> 49:04.041
[SPEAKER_06]: A fastball would basically write over the plate that Will Smith just absolutely demolished.
49:04.601 --> 49:10.645
[SPEAKER_06]: A four hundred and twenty feet and a hundred nine miles an hour off the bat and the Dodgers do avoid the sweep against the dynamics and they win five for us.
49:10.665 --> 49:13.326
[SPEAKER_06]: So the D-backs once again fail to get to five hundred.
49:13.926 --> 49:20.470
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, again, all things considered like Gabe said, the D-backs basically played, I'd say almost perfect the entire series.
49:21.430 --> 49:22.111
[SPEAKER_06]: And again, we're
49:22.771 --> 49:27.897
[SPEAKER_06]: One runaway and one inning away from taking this series, they did spoil that we y'all in mode of start.
49:28.457 --> 49:36.146
[SPEAKER_06]: So while it did kind of end on a sour note there, there was at least a lot of positives that I personally enjoyed obviously that Corbin Corbin or Corbin left you lefty crime.
49:36.726 --> 49:42.533
[SPEAKER_06]: Anytime you can see some of you lefty lefty, especially if you're off one of the more top open pitchers, I know we started on this here, but he's still a really effective lefty.
49:43.473 --> 49:52.376
[SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of what I like to see, but Gabe passing on to you, looking at game three here, obviously, not though it was what we wanted, but there was at least some positive in here that I feel like we can highlight.
49:52.396 --> 49:54.237
[SPEAKER_06]: So I want to pass it to you and let you have the four.
49:55.617 --> 50:07.542
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I kind of just want to start off on Brandon fought and like to, to coach, get Bayley's the Dodgers, unleashed and unloaded all over Brandon fought.
50:08.222 --> 50:10.643
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was just so bad.
50:10.683 --> 50:10.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
50:11.863 --> 50:16.104
[SPEAKER_00]: This is, you know, we've talked about how this team can't get more than five wins in a row.
50:16.164 --> 50:19.805
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is one of the main reasons why it's just a starting pitch.
50:19.845 --> 50:22.986
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not been it this season and has been really inconsistent.
50:23.266 --> 50:29.928
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the main things we wanted to see from them is put together two or three series in a row, whereas there's part of pitch and can do its job.
50:29.968 --> 50:34.369
[SPEAKER_00]: And we said it, they'll have one great series or two great series in a row.
50:34.409 --> 50:37.130
[SPEAKER_00]: And then just completely collapsed in the next one and same with the bullpen.
50:38.170 --> 50:39.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Curtis, I don't think Curtis should have been out there again.
50:39.912 --> 50:43.054
[SPEAKER_00]: He had already thrown about almost twenty pitches in the eighth.
50:43.854 --> 50:45.335
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably should have been solve Frank.
50:46.816 --> 50:53.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that he was already warming up and probably was supposed to face Otani, but he has the team has the actual Otani in the first place.
50:53.921 --> 50:55.442
[SPEAKER_00]: They had three guys up there and
50:56.002 --> 50:59.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Soft Franks has shown the ability to get both lefties and righties out.
50:59.825 --> 51:04.308
[SPEAKER_00]: So, everything should be, it should have been anyone else except soft Franks' ending.
51:04.428 --> 51:07.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, you worry about the tense when you get to the tense.
51:07.371 --> 51:08.752
[SPEAKER_00]: And what's the weather time back?
51:08.772 --> 51:14.696
[SPEAKER_00]: So, in playing, you know, moving runners across and finally coming up with the game plan, in extra innings, like they never had before.
51:14.716 --> 51:21.221
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, and I believe it should have been the top of the lineup coming up in the tenth inning as well.
51:21.281 --> 51:23.643
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you would have had Perdomo, Ktel, Corbin again.
51:24.864 --> 51:28.569
[SPEAKER_00]: I should have been tall-frying instead of Curtis, but, you know, it is what it is.
51:28.749 --> 51:31.513
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, Brennan fought.
51:31.813 --> 51:39.604
[SPEAKER_00]: If this team had more starting pitchers available right now, I think Brennan fought might have been sent down to Reno at some point, or at least shut down for the rest of the same view.
51:39.624 --> 51:40.124
[SPEAKER_00]: See yous just.
51:40.865 --> 51:59.925
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been way too inconsistent and even with the erotic hasn't had these flashes of brilliance really this whole season knowing he's kind of just has been consistently five endings two or three or four runs and that's who brainfight has been this season, but seeing the Corbin left him left it hitting the exact same pitch all the time of the sky like
52:01.193 --> 52:05.997
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just seeing time of Scott really well, having him to be able to put up such a clutch hit.
52:06.898 --> 52:24.714
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the Dodgers won this game, but I do think this is definitely a series and even a game that this team that the Dodgers are gonna focus on for the rest of the season, you know, trying to fix whatever mistakes that they have because, you know, the other teams are watching these games.
52:25.094 --> 52:27.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Other teams are seeing the way the time backs are pitching them.
52:27.316 --> 52:33.620
[SPEAKER_00]: They're watching the way the time backs are taking their backs against them and going forward, you know, kind of gets the word is out.
52:33.640 --> 52:37.402
[SPEAKER_00]: The Dodgers are vulnerable and other teams are going to take advantage of that going forward.
52:39.071 --> 52:58.365
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, they're it's really fun to see the difference because I know there's some articles after the World Series last year where Dodger players were saying that like yeah, the Yankees are a terrible defensive team and like the they just do things differently or the Dodger do things differently that the Yankees don't it seems like they just don't do that anymore maybe that they're getting complacent as the word but they're definitely not as
53:00.486 --> 53:02.768
[SPEAKER_06]: sharp as they were usually like even last year.
53:02.808 --> 53:06.130
[SPEAKER_06]: These were some mistakes that they made last year or mistakes this year.
53:06.170 --> 53:07.051
[SPEAKER_06]: They're making that last year.
53:07.071 --> 53:08.772
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think they make like you know last year.
53:08.792 --> 53:11.334
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you would have seen either move your whoever it is.
53:12.415 --> 53:18.239
[SPEAKER_06]: Guiding, guiding kick it to make the diving play like you know maybe they're third based when maybe months season that they're based in that position.
53:18.700 --> 53:25.044
[SPEAKER_06]: And so trying to go for the tag maybe he gets his body in front of the ball so it doesn't let Blaise Alexander be able to score from third after tag now from second.
53:25.084 --> 53:25.344
[SPEAKER_06]: So like
53:26.265 --> 53:54.972
[SPEAKER_06]: Definitely I do agree a lot of teams are gonna be kind of, you know, watching it on these games and realizing like oh, there is a game plan that we can use to take the Dodgers down and especially if they're both in pitches like this like it's it's nine-day difference between the the top two teams the NOS like the podries have a little bit of an inconsistent I know the Dodgers offensive and consistently too, but like the podgers both in is borderline lights out one of the best in the league where the Dodgers I know we were all upset that we couldn't get Kirby gates, but at the the moment not like in like the worst decisions got like
53:56.452 --> 53:59.816
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not excited about the Kirby the thirty eight year old Kirby eight decision.
54:00.616 --> 54:11.827
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it's definitely been a been rough for I know we're I guess we're all upset about the Taylor Scott, but he has been like I literally see Dodger fans calling him a terrorist Because of how bad he's been this season.
54:12.348 --> 54:16.812
[SPEAKER_06]: So they have they've definitely had a lot of weak points in their both ends been a big one, but Brandon setting it on to you
54:18.193 --> 54:31.301
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there anything that you wanted to or what did you kind of want to point out here in a game three whether it's like you're kind of adding on to the the fought chronicles who have been Scott Max saying in the chat here he has a seven point six or seven point oh six rode a array and a five thirty three.
54:31.321 --> 54:32.021
[SPEAKER_06]: It's higher than that.
54:33.502 --> 54:36.323
[SPEAKER_02]: at seven point one three but like good Lord.
54:36.784 --> 54:51.470
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, say anything you want to do a highlight here in game three obviously I know there's a little bit of a bad but I do grew with even like Gabe said that I think that this is while it was a loss I think it was a big a still a big momentum swing and something that he'd used to build on here going into the final month of the season.
54:52.251 --> 54:54.852
[SPEAKER_02]: His home and away splits just below my mind.
54:55.642 --> 54:57.864
[SPEAKER_02]: It is absolutely ridiculous.
54:59.125 --> 55:03.549
[SPEAKER_02]: So his home, he's eight and three at home, he's four and five on the road.
55:04.269 --> 55:07.712
[SPEAKER_02]: His home here is three point six, a way is seven point one three.
55:09.231 --> 55:09.951
[SPEAKER_02]: He's given up.
55:10.852 --> 55:12.953
[SPEAKER_02]: Nineteen home runs on the road.
55:13.453 --> 55:14.214
[SPEAKER_02]: Only three at all.
55:15.134 --> 55:17.816
[SPEAKER_02]: So are we talking about, was it?
55:18.136 --> 55:22.759
[SPEAKER_02]: Twenty two, twenty three, Ryan Nelson, where like he could not pitch at home at all.
55:23.639 --> 55:26.341
[SPEAKER_02]: And when we were thinking, was it the batter's eye?
55:26.361 --> 55:28.302
[SPEAKER_02]: People just picked up his pitches better.
55:28.802 --> 55:36.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, the thought is, like, I think he's, he's going so much pitch to contact.
55:37.463 --> 55:45.276
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's my biggest concern with him is his inability to get guys to chase or just swing it all.
55:48.498 --> 56:09.968
[SPEAKER_02]: he like against the brewer's like he like he didn't always cut her at all and then in this start he threw his cutter a decent amount so like what is the game plan and according to the broadcast yesterday basically toy said that thought looks like just angry at everybody since his last start because he holds himself to a high standard
56:11.119 --> 56:13.621
[SPEAKER_02]: But he just he knows that he's better than this.
56:13.921 --> 56:17.264
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm thinking then why don't you pitch better than that?
56:17.604 --> 56:20.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Like because this is not a one or two start thing.
56:21.407 --> 56:24.289
[SPEAKER_02]: This has been an issue since like middle of me.
56:25.070 --> 56:30.273
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he just has not been very good, but we don't have any other options.
56:31.775 --> 56:36.218
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I love Daniel Egan.
56:37.613 --> 56:38.353
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not his way off.
56:38.833 --> 56:39.294
[SPEAKER_06]: He's way off.
56:39.334 --> 56:43.475
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to bring things like him to burr like Homer fan.
56:44.396 --> 56:47.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he starts next year, but that's just being like.
56:48.257 --> 56:54.299
[SPEAKER_02]: That'd be so cool because he's absolutely dominate like he dominated and they finally brought them up to double lane.
56:54.339 --> 56:56.700
[SPEAKER_02]: It's first time you just absolutely shreds.
56:57.641 --> 56:59.921
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, far is.
57:01.571 --> 57:03.973
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we just need this season to be done.
57:04.134 --> 57:05.915
[SPEAKER_02]: He just needs a fresh start to next season.
57:06.496 --> 57:10.219
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want to hear anybody talking about his extension was a mistake.
57:11.581 --> 57:14.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't just don't like, okay, he had one bad year.
57:16.725 --> 57:19.628
[SPEAKER_02]: But people were talking how he wasn't a good starting pitcher.
57:20.752 --> 57:22.976
[SPEAKER_02]: When he first debuted, I was one of them, by the way.
57:24.318 --> 57:27.323
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought he was a borderline five six.
57:27.624 --> 57:32.933
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just, I hope whatever the issue is that he figures it out for next season.
57:34.228 --> 57:42.912
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, like a Oscar, maybe maybe Oscar's on something we'll have to have our, uh, a residence or a residence or a video guy gave.
57:43.132 --> 57:50.435
[SPEAKER_06]: So I don't gave likes to look back at, you know, highlights and whatnot, or, uh, some tape and, and diagnose and stuff, but Oscar saying, I don't know if it's just me.
57:50.915 --> 57:54.197
[SPEAKER_06]: I've looked back, but it seems like he moved away from pitching from the first base side of the rubber.
57:55.377 --> 57:56.658
[SPEAKER_06]: And you know that that could be it.
57:56.738 --> 58:15.704
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's just also I think he just I think some days he just has a location some days he doesn't I think Again, and maybe what they'll also look at who's calling his games because I believe it's usually I think for a long while there it was hosting her rare calling all of his games And I don't think I think a Gabby was off in this game.
58:15.744 --> 58:18.605
[SPEAKER_06]: So I think it was a James McHan here on Sunday.
58:18.625 --> 58:19.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
58:19.365 --> 58:19.665
[SPEAKER_02]: It was ADC
58:20.435 --> 58:21.475
[SPEAKER_06]: It was, oh, ADC, okay.
58:21.495 --> 58:22.856
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe maybe that leads into it.
58:22.876 --> 58:26.777
[SPEAKER_06]: Like we all know that he's not like the best defensive catcher.
58:26.797 --> 58:29.538
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe he doesn't have that repertoire to really knows that they were pitchers need to go yet.
58:29.858 --> 58:32.459
[SPEAKER_06]: But the Dodgers also do seem to kind of like hit fought around a little bit.
58:32.539 --> 58:34.240
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like his ERA against them.
58:34.280 --> 58:35.580
[SPEAKER_06]: They just handled him well.
58:36.041 --> 58:39.262
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they just have so many hitters that can kind of lay off some stuff outside of his own.
58:39.282 --> 58:40.942
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't really do much chasing.
58:40.962 --> 58:44.143
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't really seem like a team that's strikeouts like strikes out too much.
58:44.183 --> 58:45.244
[SPEAKER_06]: Like I don't even think the D-backs had.
58:46.284 --> 58:51.167
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, like over fifteen strikeouts in the entire series, I could be wrong, but just kind of quick glancing of the numbers.
58:52.048 --> 58:53.489
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe maybe that's the thing.
58:53.749 --> 59:00.433
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not entirely sure, but I mean, I do know that the the contracts is I don't think it's going to be an issue.
59:00.473 --> 59:08.779
[SPEAKER_06]: Like again, I think they need to to lock down Ryan Nelson and give him a, maybe not that Micah Parsons money newest premium impact.
59:09.479 --> 59:10.440
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, sorry, how to fit that in there.
59:11.860 --> 59:18.423
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think he'll be getting that kind of money, but definitely need to lock down Ryan Nelson and give him the same kind of contract with how he's been pitching this year.
59:19.344 --> 59:20.684
[SPEAKER_06]: But I do think I do grew with Brandon.
59:21.525 --> 59:23.066
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's just a one-off kind of thing.
59:23.766 --> 59:26.067
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think we need to be sounding in the alarm bells yet.
59:26.727 --> 59:32.590
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, they overpaid, because even that contract is still a pretty good steal to where it's not like it's a contract that's unmovable.
59:32.630 --> 59:33.850
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not like no teams.
59:34.211 --> 59:38.953
[SPEAKER_06]: We're like, ooh, you know, we can't block it or we can't go for that thing if they ever did think about training him.
59:39.993 --> 59:41.455
[SPEAKER_06]: But I don't think we had the worry about that in general.
59:41.855 --> 59:43.596
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that he'll be just why I'm going forward.
59:43.636 --> 01:00:00.409
[SPEAKER_06]: There's needs to... Whether it's the catching from a certain side of the rubber or not, you know, I think there's... There's something that they can fix about it and they'll unlock that spot that we saw in the twenty twenty three postseason and kind of the the spot that we saw and the one that the team saw, which made them confident enough to give him that contract.
01:00:00.469 --> 01:00:09.116
[SPEAKER_06]: But anything that you guys else wanted to talk about in this series here before we dive into the... Some of the names that we have for the September first callups, potentially?
01:00:11.655 --> 01:00:13.616
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, well, anything ready?
01:00:14.456 --> 01:00:17.838
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I was just gonna say Blaze had a really, really good month of August.
01:00:17.898 --> 01:00:22.619
[SPEAKER_02]: The two, sixty-five, two, sixty-five, five, five, five, five with a nine-old one, oh, yes.
01:00:23.140 --> 01:00:26.401
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven homers, fifteen runs, driven in with a one, forty-nine, WRC plus.
01:00:26.681 --> 01:00:28.282
[SPEAKER_02]: So, really, really good month.
01:00:29.522 --> 01:00:31.923
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what happens when you get to play every day.
01:00:32.547 --> 01:00:34.388
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, what a shock or blazing hot.
01:00:34.448 --> 01:00:42.670
[SPEAKER_06]: But every September first, it is always a fun time because whether you're a playoff team or not, rosters do expand.
01:00:42.730 --> 01:00:44.671
[SPEAKER_06]: Every team does get an additional roster spot.
01:00:45.171 --> 01:00:47.952
[SPEAKER_06]: And now there's going to be, sorry, two additional roster spots.
01:00:48.492 --> 01:00:50.673
[SPEAKER_06]: I say one additional, because we already know who one of them is going to be.
01:00:50.773 --> 01:00:54.614
[SPEAKER_06]: It's most likely going to be that one of those spots is going to be Ryan Thompson.
01:00:54.734 --> 01:00:56.155
[SPEAKER_06]: Obviously the divax need more bullpen arms.
01:00:56.995 --> 01:01:00.296
[SPEAKER_06]: He was doing a rehab assignment in Reno and looks like he's probably going to be called up.
01:01:00.756 --> 01:01:05.378
[SPEAKER_06]: But that leaves a one more spot for a couple of different names and I'm going to pull up
01:01:05.958 --> 01:01:07.079
[SPEAKER_06]: our boy nugget here.
01:01:08.620 --> 01:01:14.123
[SPEAKER_06]: And his Twitter account, the Dimash Prospect account, he did have a couple of names that he wanted to, or that he highlighted.
01:01:14.143 --> 01:01:19.907
[SPEAKER_06]: He said tomorrow, the DBX Russell will hold two Russian spots with one of them likely to be Ryan Thompson, which would fill all the pitching spots.
01:01:20.327 --> 01:01:24.410
[SPEAKER_06]: Here are some potential options for the ACEs, or with the ACEs for the second spot.
01:01:24.873 --> 01:01:29.317
[SPEAKER_06]: Jorge Barosa, person that I want to see Barosa, I don't think we really have much need for him.
01:01:29.777 --> 01:01:31.819
[SPEAKER_06]: I've Melendez, Spanish Titanic, that'd be a fun one.
01:01:32.580 --> 01:01:39.085
[SPEAKER_06]: Matt Mervis, AJ Vukiewicz, and then even Tommy Troy, and then another name that he even did say in a reply tweet.
01:01:39.706 --> 01:01:45.971
[SPEAKER_06]: Someone was asking him what about, like, you know, K-Rob, and he said, I think K-Rob is also an option, but I think Vukiewicz having more time arena and holding his own game in the edge.
01:01:46.832 --> 01:01:52.137
[SPEAKER_06]: So out of those names, personally, I would love to see their K-Rob or Ivan, especially with our issues at first base.
01:01:53.238 --> 01:01:55.860
[SPEAKER_06]: in a lock there, maybe they send down lock there, maybe they bring up Ivan.
01:01:56.981 --> 01:02:05.487
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, the outfield's kind of full, but I know K Rob was going to be a rule five eligible, or if he's down in the forty man, I believe at some point, then some other teams can take him.
01:02:05.547 --> 01:02:09.570
[SPEAKER_06]: I know he was in the rule five this last year, but nobody took him, which I'm surprised.
01:02:10.451 --> 01:02:12.892
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe they bring them up there just to kind of avoid that happening.
01:02:13.572 --> 01:02:18.235
[SPEAKER_06]: But I would kind of enjoy to see either him or Melinda's, but that's my personal opinion.
01:02:18.255 --> 01:02:21.276
[SPEAKER_06]: I would love to see some Hispanics, Titanic tanks in the desert.
01:02:22.196 --> 01:02:27.019
[SPEAKER_06]: But I could see them definitely going with either a vukovitch or even Tommy Troy, who is employing really solid.
01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:32.361
[SPEAKER_06]: They've even been kind of giving in some time in the outfields, so they maybe need to make some moves with some outfit.
01:02:32.381 --> 01:02:32.901
[SPEAKER_06]: There's one on it.
01:02:33.242 --> 01:02:36.963
[SPEAKER_06]: Have an extra guy out there because you can never have too many players in most positions.
01:02:37.583 --> 01:02:38.044
[SPEAKER_06]: I could see that.
01:02:38.764 --> 01:02:41.510
[SPEAKER_06]: off those names in the list, maybe there's one other name that we're not thinking about.
01:02:42.091 --> 01:02:49.988
[SPEAKER_06]: What are some names that you could see filling in that final roster spot now that we're in to September, which we should have some news on it in the next few hours, I believe.
01:02:51.312 --> 01:02:52.712
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, it's probably going to be in Melendez.
01:02:52.792 --> 01:02:56.473
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably going to be Ryan Tom's taking the first spot, but I am Melendez.
01:02:56.653 --> 01:03:05.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we need a first baseman, a good consistent first baseman, and it has a scene that's not going to play ADC there, which is a scene that's not going to play ADC there, which is a scene that's not going to play Rodgers there.
01:03:05.214 --> 01:03:08.115
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to at least try Melendez out and see what it looks like at the Major League level.
01:03:08.215 --> 01:03:12.956
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been with this team for a few years now, and it's kind of an hour never for him.
01:03:13.556 --> 01:03:15.436
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not that young compared to a lot of the guys.
01:03:15.476 --> 01:03:17.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he was taken as a senior.
01:03:17.677 --> 01:03:19.737
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got to confirm that real quick.
01:03:20.837 --> 01:03:45.344
[SPEAKER_00]: guys like I even you know you can't leave him in the matters league you know forever I mean you guys twenty five years old he turns twenty six next season so it is a now you know now we're never saying he's used uh he I mean he's been crushing balls at every step of the way the only problem has been just the fact that he strikes out so much he would you consistently would have about like a third percent
01:03:46.064 --> 01:03:50.365
[SPEAKER_00]: strike out right at every part of the major leagues.
01:03:51.266 --> 01:03:52.506
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think it should be him.
01:03:53.106 --> 01:04:06.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, just to see what you have from him, he is a first baseman, but this team is kind of hinted about the fact that he's probably going to be more with DH type of guy rather than just a first baseman, but we need a first baseman in the future because
01:04:08.171 --> 01:04:09.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Locklears, not it.
01:04:09.371 --> 01:04:10.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Payment is not it.
01:04:10.292 --> 01:04:11.232
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of it.
01:04:12.092 --> 01:04:15.074
[SPEAKER_00]: The second, you know, the third guy is item Melendez.
01:04:15.694 --> 01:04:28.839
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's not the best, best defender at at first base, but maybe having him up and working with the Major League guys will help his defense out, so he can produce at the Major League, or can play good defense at the Major League level.
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:37.242
[SPEAKER_00]: And because yeah, after that, this is really not much else at first base on this of they draft a first base in this upcoming drafts.
01:04:37.282 --> 01:04:37.502
[SPEAKER_00]: And then
01:04:38.222 --> 01:04:41.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe there's a future for space in there, but for the most, what this team needs to figure it out.
01:04:42.247 --> 01:04:54.822
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they're kind of just out of it, I don't think they're technically out of it yet, but, I don't know, being two games out of five hundred and five and a half games back with twenty four or so to go.
01:04:55.562 --> 01:05:01.587
[SPEAKER_00]: doesn't give you too much hope that this team is going to be in the playoffs.
01:05:01.607 --> 01:05:10.815
[SPEAKER_00]: So might as well bring up some of these young guys like Ivan see what you have if you produce is that to make you level the season you could have your solution to first base resolved right away.
01:05:12.472 --> 01:05:18.234
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I think I think that's the more hopeful spot, but I feel like they might play it safe and go with like the hook of it.
01:05:18.474 --> 01:05:19.674
[SPEAKER_06]: I just know Burrosa, man.
01:05:19.955 --> 01:05:20.395
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
01:05:20.935 --> 01:05:26.437
[SPEAKER_06]: I know it's not the biggest runaway he's been given either, but I just don't see too much in Burrosa.
01:05:26.457 --> 01:05:29.498
[SPEAKER_06]: He is basically Jose Herrera, but in the outfield, a little bit shorter.
01:05:29.518 --> 01:05:37.781
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'd rather give some guys that we haven't seen yet, especially in the position like first base that we do need to kind of figure out our solution soon.
01:05:38.681 --> 01:05:41.044
[SPEAKER_06]: I wouldn't be upset with them giving that, but also K-Rop again.
01:05:41.505 --> 01:05:45.851
[SPEAKER_06]: One of our former top prospects was delayed a little bit because of the whole legal issues he had for a while there.
01:05:46.312 --> 01:05:53.321
[SPEAKER_06]: I would love to see him get a shot and you know, kind of show people why he was one of our former top prospects.
01:05:53.882 --> 01:06:09.335
[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't want to see him get poached by another team and then make the opening day roster for like the A's or like the raise with the marlins and people look back and they're like wow they were the this guy was just sitting there and the miners and he was available like I want to avoid that and I'd like to see him up there, but you know there's definitely a lot of options they could go with
01:06:09.935 --> 01:06:16.338
[SPEAKER_06]: Passing it on to you, Brandon, looking at all the list of names, maybe even if you're looking at the Reno roster or who knows, maybe it's a prizes, maybe they go with somebody from Dublin.
01:06:16.738 --> 01:06:27.282
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a name down the miners that you are more interested in them calling here on September first to be like, you know what, come on up to the Major League squad whether for you Major League debut or for your second and third time around.
01:06:27.322 --> 01:06:29.623
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a name that you kind of have on your board personally?
01:06:30.778 --> 01:06:33.720
[SPEAKER_02]: So before I do that, I want to address Scott's question.
01:06:33.820 --> 01:06:35.201
[SPEAKER_02]: Control, I play first base.
01:06:35.781 --> 01:06:36.842
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you want to?
01:06:36.942 --> 01:06:43.126
[SPEAKER_02]: He's way too much speed to play a position that's not going to require that speed.
01:06:43.246 --> 01:06:49.069
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he is a short stop, second, third, and outfielder.
01:06:49.389 --> 01:06:52.111
[SPEAKER_02]: He's too athletic to play that position.
01:06:52.431 --> 01:06:53.372
[SPEAKER_00]: He's also five, ten.
01:06:53.412 --> 01:06:55.453
[SPEAKER_00]: So it would be a little bit harder for him to play that.
01:06:57.314 --> 01:07:04.564
[SPEAKER_02]: My only thing with a lot of these people that he lists that nugget listed, I'm pretty sure they have to be on the forty man.
01:07:05.165 --> 01:07:09.231
[SPEAKER_02]: Only one of them is currently on the forty man and that's Jorge Barosa.
01:07:09.671 --> 01:07:13.657
[SPEAKER_02]: So they would have to make some adjustments to the forty man, which I am
01:07:14.638 --> 01:07:17.420
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm all four, like make those adjustments.
01:07:18.161 --> 01:07:26.206
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it needs to be my pick out of this is AJ Vookovich because he has played first in the past and he can play out field.
01:07:26.607 --> 01:07:34.032
[SPEAKER_02]: So we can kind of get our bases covered there because I think I know me personally, I'm done with Jake McCarty.
01:07:34.492 --> 01:07:36.214
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I am absolutely done with Jake McCarty.
01:07:37.274 --> 01:07:38.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I get his fast.
01:07:39.076 --> 01:07:40.697
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty much all he can do at this point.
01:07:41.217 --> 01:07:42.178
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I know that he's
01:07:43.253 --> 01:07:48.578
[SPEAKER_02]: Hit better the last month, but I'm like, when you're at six feet under, there's only one way to go.
01:07:49.358 --> 01:07:50.980
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and that's to go up.
01:07:51.120 --> 01:07:54.843
[SPEAKER_02]: So, for me, it would probably be AJ Vukovich.
01:07:54.983 --> 01:07:57.005
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see Tommy Troy have
01:07:59.187 --> 01:08:20.681
[SPEAKER_02]: Tommy Troy basically start in center against left handed pitching or do what the rumor is is that that's what they're going to do with place is that have lawly played their base and then blaze will be in center field because they did have them play a little bit in center field when he was down in Reno earlier this year.
01:08:21.622 --> 01:08:21.762
[SPEAKER_02]: So
01:08:23.423 --> 01:08:24.645
[SPEAKER_02]: That's my personal.
01:08:25.967 --> 01:08:29.891
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they're going to bring up Ivan Melendez Matt Mervis.
01:08:29.931 --> 01:08:32.855
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's been down there just not enough.
01:08:34.577 --> 01:08:38.102
[SPEAKER_02]: But to be honest, because Jorge Boroughs is already on the forty man.
01:08:39.582 --> 01:08:57.094
[SPEAKER_02]: I bet they do Jorge, and then we're all just going to be like, yeah, but I would love to be surprised, because I didn't think they were going to bring up Lollar when putting up Haven on the IL because I'm like, we need another first spaceman.
01:08:57.194 --> 01:08:58.355
[SPEAKER_02]: Lollar doesn't play a first space.
01:08:59.214 --> 01:09:00.995
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so I'm a shot by that.
01:09:01.115 --> 01:09:02.955
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe let it today.
01:09:03.015 --> 01:09:04.556
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll shock me by whoever.
01:09:05.436 --> 01:09:11.198
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, they plan to bring up to make it, uh, twenty eight.
01:09:13.158 --> 01:09:15.379
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's would be weird if it was still forty.
01:09:15.719 --> 01:09:18.940
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine the amount of just new guys on the team?
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:21.281
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, because that's what that's what it used to be.
01:09:21.341 --> 01:09:22.181
[SPEAKER_02]: September used to be.
01:09:23.081 --> 01:09:24.782
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're on the forty man, you were brought up.
01:09:27.021 --> 01:09:35.865
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, say, we don't have the same rosters where it was borderline spring training, just in September where you have like ten young guys brought up and it's like, okay, now nobody gets flying time.
01:09:35.885 --> 01:09:38.106
[SPEAKER_06]: But it'll definitely be interesting.
01:09:38.146 --> 01:09:45.749
[SPEAKER_06]: I know no matter what move is made, I know the device Twitter, we can rely and then to somebody that will have some overreaction, somebody will be upset.
01:09:46.310 --> 01:09:47.550
[SPEAKER_06]: Whether it's us, whether it's somebody else.
01:09:49.531 --> 01:09:53.494
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't know, but there's definitely some interesting names, so it'll be, it'll be fun to see here in the next few hours.
01:09:53.514 --> 01:09:59.778
[SPEAKER_06]: So I imagine the move has already been made and whoever it is is already on their way to Arizona because again, they play in what like seven hours.
01:10:00.678 --> 01:10:01.879
[SPEAKER_06]: So I imagine the move has already been made.
01:10:01.919 --> 01:10:08.083
[SPEAKER_06]: They're just waiting for the actual, like, official, you know, official transaction to be made and post and whatnot.
01:10:08.443 --> 01:10:13.367
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully, maybe in who knows, maybe happens right before we end here, right when we end here, and that'd be kind of fun.
01:10:14.965 --> 01:10:16.486
[SPEAKER_06]: going into our next series here.
01:10:17.266 --> 01:10:21.028
[SPEAKER_06]: We do get to face the Texas Rangers second time this year.
01:10:22.149 --> 01:10:27.852
[SPEAKER_06]: The the pitching matchup is mostly set except for game one or game two there for the Rangers.
01:10:27.892 --> 01:10:30.654
[SPEAKER_06]: So game one is going to be nationally our best pitcher this season.
01:10:31.554 --> 01:10:33.876
[SPEAKER_06]: Seven and three with the three five three are going up against
01:10:35.376 --> 01:10:39.738
[SPEAKER_06]: MAGA Corbin, who's seven and nine with the fourth through ERA, game two, and the Bill Kurzman.
01:10:39.978 --> 01:10:41.758
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been pretty solid as a spot to start here for us.
01:10:42.619 --> 01:10:46.060
[SPEAKER_06]: He is two-note with a one-eight-four ERA going up against two-be decided.
01:10:46.500 --> 01:10:50.501
[SPEAKER_06]: Who knows, maybe Merrill Kelly, maybe we could see Merrill back in the desert, it would be very hard breaking to see him again.
01:10:50.541 --> 01:10:52.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Just pitched on Saturday, so it's probably unlikely.
01:10:53.390 --> 01:10:55.472
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, that would break my heart to see him again.
01:10:56.193 --> 01:10:58.314
[SPEAKER_06]: So the Rangers don't have a set starter there.
01:10:58.375 --> 01:11:02.058
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that would have been a Yavaldi spot, but I believe he is out for the season now.
01:11:02.778 --> 01:11:07.883
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Zai Galen is who is ten and three on the season, which crazy is ten wins with how rough he's been.
01:11:08.343 --> 01:11:10.505
[SPEAKER_06]: The one picture that seemed like the offense really shows out for.
01:11:11.146 --> 01:11:14.709
[SPEAKER_06]: He is ten and thirteen with a four nine four year A, going up against a form.
01:11:15.830 --> 01:11:16.611
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, I'll thank you, man.
01:11:16.931 --> 01:11:17.892
[SPEAKER_06]: Improvements are improvements.
01:11:18.673 --> 01:11:25.200
[SPEAKER_06]: Going up against a former first round pick, Jack Lider, Vanderbilt Star, who's nine and seven with a three, seven, seven year array.
01:11:25.240 --> 01:11:30.085
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's actually been having pretty solid, solid year there for him, but we can get the pitching matchups.
01:11:30.305 --> 01:11:36.332
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I know once we get the confirmation on who we have being called up,
01:11:36.852 --> 01:11:38.575
[SPEAKER_06]: Was there any, maybe predictions you might have?
01:11:38.976 --> 01:11:43.162
[SPEAKER_06]: I know Gabriel, you're talking about letting a Patrick Corbin at an early-ending lawlet-facing against Patrick Corbin, maybe that's one.
01:11:43.642 --> 01:11:51.834
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there any other names that you had that you want to see, maybe predictions for those, or just some certain matchups that you're going to be having your eye on going into this next game?
01:11:52.115 --> 01:11:52.756
[SPEAKER_06]: Or is this next series?
01:11:53.935 --> 01:12:15.699
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... from his predominant he was absolutely terrible in this not your series yet one hit i believe before he had that he was like over eighteen or something like that dating back to the bro or series so he just was not very good in the dodger series i mean he wasn't striking out anything he was just but he was going to be all in play but it was a lot of some contact love uh... balls hit two to the infield or so
01:12:16.299 --> 01:12:18.381
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see Perdona break out of that slam.
01:12:18.401 --> 01:12:22.604
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got another one who's just the way the Dodge was pitching him or he's finally pulling off.
01:12:22.664 --> 01:12:27.767
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm hoping that it was just the Dodge is just pitching him very well as opposed to him.
01:12:28.308 --> 01:12:34.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool enough for the rest of the month because you need him to produce, especially from that lead off for a second spot.
01:12:34.172 --> 01:12:41.497
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to be producing there, especially if you want a hotel to produce, if you want a corporate to produce, you need him to be able to set the tone for this team.
01:12:42.398 --> 01:13:04.596
[SPEAKER_00]: you know we shouldn't happen before it can be very mental if you guys struggles as you know that battle for twenty over twenty five it does affect our defense as time goes on so hopefully he's able to break out of that that many slump and hit a lot better against taxes I mean he's gonna have an opportunity against guys like Corbin and I believe it's all TBDs after that or I guess a lighter
01:13:05.951 --> 01:13:10.313
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, not the best guys in the world, so you should be able to break out of that slump.
01:13:10.713 --> 01:13:21.237
[SPEAKER_00]: And the main thing I just want to see is see the D-backs take a suite because if they just wouldn't series, they're still under five hundred, which is one of the biggest scribes we've had all season is just.
01:13:21.757 --> 01:13:42.068
[SPEAKER_00]: where you're not sweeping, you don't really gain much ground and right now they sweep, they go over five hundred, they'd be a game, they'd be seventy-one and seventy, and they're facing you on a relatively tough opponent, but so are the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz,
01:13:43.388 --> 01:13:49.333
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the marlins or something like that enough facing or I also did enough facing the Rockies, but they lost the series against the Rockies.
01:13:49.374 --> 01:14:00.984
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, it's not it's not like anybody else at the top of that that little wildcard area, you know, nobody is facing off against it truly bad team.
01:14:01.044 --> 01:14:05.427
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but this is the time backs opportunity to at least make up some ground.
01:14:06.088 --> 01:14:08.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't expect him to really make the
01:14:08.490 --> 01:14:20.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Playoffs anymore, but again, like we said, you don't want to be eliminated in September first, and you want to lose, get to the third week or less with your September, and at least have a little bit of hope that you're right there.
01:14:21.380 --> 01:14:30.347
[SPEAKER_06]: Even if they do, like you've confirmed eliminated in the last week, I know said in the past shows, those last nine games, oh man, please play your best baseball, be spoilers.
01:14:30.888 --> 01:14:36.852
[SPEAKER_06]: Decide who's going to be number two, number three, because we already, I think we already know that the brewers are probably going to lock down the number one seed.
01:14:37.953 --> 01:14:42.474
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, let me decide who's going to be seeds two through like two through four.
01:14:43.055 --> 01:14:45.955
[SPEAKER_06]: Decide who's going to be like be the deciding factor on who's going to win the West.
01:14:46.015 --> 01:14:55.558
[SPEAKER_06]: I could you imagine like we flew to Dodgers and then we sweep the Padres were both those teams or just pissed the fuck off at us and like we spoil one of them from being the the Western champions.
01:14:55.998 --> 01:15:02.860
[SPEAKER_06]: I still I hate the ringless bombs out there, but I was still enjoying seeing the podgers win the division just because anybody with a dodge winning it.
01:15:03.821 --> 01:15:17.281
[SPEAKER_06]: But it would be nice to see them being the deciding factor and then be the reason why you know some team got the season spoiled or some team got their their hearts broken before the playoffs even began but I do be it's a pretty good baseball give us something excited to be about here in the final month because
01:15:18.062 --> 01:15:30.567
[SPEAKER_06]: There's not too much else, and I know I've said before, the playoffs would be cool, but I would be absolutely terrified to see this bullpen in a playoff series, and my heart would probably, it'd be worse and more painful to watch that.
01:15:30.627 --> 01:15:34.629
[SPEAKER_06]: But Brandon, looking at this series here, then maybe some matchups that you have, maybe even depending on the call-ups.
01:15:35.229 --> 01:15:39.871
[SPEAKER_06]: What are maybe some predictions you might have or some matchups that you're gonna be keeping your eye on going to this text-range or series?
01:15:40.831 --> 01:15:42.992
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't know how long it gets his first hate this season.
01:15:44.692 --> 01:15:51.537
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he starts tonight because it is a left handed picture.
01:15:51.957 --> 01:15:54.359
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he does get a hit in this series.
01:15:54.939 --> 01:15:56.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got to hope so.
01:15:57.240 --> 01:16:01.623
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not then I don't like the fan.
01:16:02.224 --> 01:16:12.130
[SPEAKER_02]: The vocal fan base on Twitter and Instagram will be like, he's a bust, get rid of them, send them back down to Reno because that is going to make him a better player.
01:16:13.451 --> 01:16:17.014
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen that he absolutely destroys pitching in the PCL.
01:16:17.194 --> 01:16:20.737
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's not going to help him develop.
01:16:21.078 --> 01:16:22.098
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to be up here.
01:16:22.138 --> 01:16:24.320
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to see Major League pitching.
01:16:24.541 --> 01:16:24.701
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
01:16:25.701 --> 01:16:31.446
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I have playoffs for me.
01:16:32.207 --> 01:16:39.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, every time that I think that they're done, they'll go on this three or four game one streak and then they suck me back in.
01:16:40.074 --> 01:16:41.395
[SPEAKER_02]: We have twenty seven games.
01:16:43.014 --> 01:16:43.314
[SPEAKER_02]: Pause?
01:16:44.315 --> 01:16:44.596
[SPEAKER_02]: Pause?
01:16:45.056 --> 01:16:46.197
[SPEAKER_02]: That was not intentional.
01:16:47.258 --> 01:16:49.160
[SPEAKER_02]: Most of mine are not intentional.
01:16:50.301 --> 01:16:53.424
[SPEAKER_02]: We have twenty seven games in the month of September.
01:16:54.084 --> 01:16:56.186
[SPEAKER_02]: We won seventeen and eleven in August.
01:16:57.327 --> 01:17:01.631
[SPEAKER_02]: If they repeat that, they're at about eighty five wins.
01:17:02.332 --> 01:17:03.553
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to Coral, Thomas, by the way.
01:17:04.254 --> 01:17:05.875
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, laying in this one server for that.
01:17:06.155 --> 01:17:06.296
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
01:17:06.576 --> 01:17:07.657
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so that would
01:17:09.092 --> 01:17:18.118
[SPEAKER_02]: If the meds do what they did the prior month, which was eleven and seventeen, basically the opposite, we finished with a better record.
01:17:20.200 --> 01:17:23.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we still have, I think the reds are still ahead of us.
01:17:23.903 --> 01:17:24.123
[UNKNOWN]: Fuck.
01:17:24.283 --> 01:17:26.364
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and so they just hit a grand slam to go ahead on the Tigers.
01:17:27.365 --> 01:17:28.006
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's not fun.
01:17:28.026 --> 01:17:32.269
[SPEAKER_02]: So it will actually, we are a half game behind the giants.
01:17:33.630 --> 01:17:36.592
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they decided they know how to play offense the last week.
01:17:39.909 --> 01:17:41.290
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's, yeah, that's fun.
01:17:42.531 --> 01:17:46.874
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, September's gonna be interesting because they do have something still to play for.
01:17:47.434 --> 01:17:50.476
[SPEAKER_02]: They do, which is kind of what I wanted.
01:17:50.516 --> 01:17:51.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I didn't want them to be out.
01:17:52.937 --> 01:18:01.863
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, five and a half games to make up in a month is difficult, but it's not unheard of.
01:18:02.664 --> 01:18:07.387
[SPEAKER_02]: It's happened before, but it's kind of like you guys said with this bullpen.
01:18:08.998 --> 01:18:17.444
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, in August, they actually were, I think, Papten and Bob Henn, ERA, so they weren't awful.
01:18:18.485 --> 01:18:21.047
[SPEAKER_02]: So it wasn't, they didn't cost us a bunch of games.
01:18:21.127 --> 01:18:21.888
[SPEAKER_02]: It cost us a couple.
01:18:23.289 --> 01:18:27.692
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think starting pitching costs us more than the Bob Henn did in the month of August.
01:18:29.173 --> 01:18:33.975
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, literally the first two games, I guess, the brewers are a prime example.
01:18:34.816 --> 01:18:38.597
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, be great if Lawler could get a hit.
01:18:39.158 --> 01:18:45.120
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I really hope so because I really want him to do well because I think he is a very talented player.
01:18:45.160 --> 01:18:51.323
[SPEAKER_02]: He just, he's got to get the monkey off his back and get that hit.
01:18:52.671 --> 01:19:10.792
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, if I think if you can just get one hit, I think he'll just, you know, have that that's stress or gone and I think we'll start to seem trying up from there hopefully at least, but that'll hopefully be something that we can at least discuss and talk about and we can all cheer and clap and everyone applaud for on when would it be Wednesday night?
01:19:11.192 --> 01:19:12.634
[SPEAKER_06]: Wednesday, Thursday, I don't know.
01:19:12.734 --> 01:19:16.438
[SPEAKER_06]: I work for much mostly late nights now, so not sure it's definitely one of those would be.
01:19:16.779 --> 01:19:22.365
[SPEAKER_06]: But either way, we appreciate everything one of you guys were tuning on in here for another exciting episode of D-Bax Dispatch.

01:23.764 --> 01:24.725
[SPEAKER_06]: multiple articles every day.
01:24.805 --> 01:35.131
[SPEAKER_06]: So if you're always looking for some more written content related to the d-backs, especially as we get, you know, kind of near the final month of the season here, then even into like the playoffs and then the offseason, the place we're going to want to be is a snake pit.
01:35.691 --> 01:38.012
[SPEAKER_06]: So you can easy snake pit.com is where you want to be.
01:38.113 --> 01:45.977
[SPEAKER_06]: But we are here to discuss a d-backs series win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, which was a little bit closer, not too much.
01:47.678 --> 01:51.722
[SPEAKER_06]: Like one side of games I would say pretty much the entire series here was actually pretty close, which was nice.
01:51.742 --> 01:55.166
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll come diving into game one where everything started off on Friday night.
01:55.626 --> 01:58.669
[SPEAKER_06]: It was a matchup of Blake's nil versus Zach Galen.
01:59.450 --> 02:02.333
[SPEAKER_06]: Blake's nil obviously big off season acquisition for the Dodgers.
02:02.393 --> 02:10.081
[SPEAKER_06]: Shocker Shocker is on the pitch thirty-seven things it's here as gay predicted because the Dodgers every time they sign somebody they're just arms just fall off or they have some kind of injury.
02:11.141 --> 02:15.564
[SPEAKER_06]: Blake's now making what I believe one of his first or one of his few starts since returning from the I.L.
02:15.584 --> 02:19.206
[SPEAKER_06]: but Zach Allen was better than Blake's now in this one which everybody had on their bingo card.
02:19.787 --> 02:24.029
[SPEAKER_06]: Zach Allen went six innings only allowed two hits three walks for the walks were still in the shoe.
02:24.389 --> 02:29.393
[SPEAKER_06]: Shrek are eight but the big key obviously not allowing a single run which means he did not allow any home runs.
02:29.993 --> 02:33.195
[SPEAKER_06]: So his career high in home runs a lot of the season does not
02:33.715 --> 02:34.635
[SPEAKER_06]: get any bigger from there.
02:34.655 --> 02:41.657
[SPEAKER_06]: Boys Alexander did get the D-Vex started in the fourth and he had a two-run shot there and absolutely pimped the ball.
02:42.037 --> 02:53.240
[SPEAKER_06]: He had a four-hundred feet, a hundred and seven miles an hour after that and there's seventh home run this season and then Gabriel Moreno continuing to kind of stay hot here after returning from the aisle.
02:53.840 --> 02:57.401
[SPEAKER_06]: He drove in another run here so he's been playing pretty pretty well in his last slide say like
02:58.081 --> 03:05.606
[SPEAKER_06]: Seven games has an over seven hundred OPS, so that's really nice to see from Gabby, really missing some production from our catch spot, and that's where we're getting from him.
03:06.026 --> 03:08.167
[SPEAKER_06]: And then the bullpen, there's really a kind of locked things down.
03:08.247 --> 03:10.528
[SPEAKER_06]: Beaks, back is in woodford all combined to go three innings.
03:11.029 --> 03:13.490
[SPEAKER_06]: A total of one hit, one walk, and two strikeouts.
03:13.510 --> 03:18.153
[SPEAKER_06]: So we're really really solid, especially the matchup.
03:18.533 --> 03:25.958
[SPEAKER_06]: Any line up with even, I know mookie bets isn't out in the best way, but any line up with Otani bets freeman didn't even will submit through just seem to be a D-back killer, which we'll get to him in game three.
03:27.058 --> 03:30.499
[SPEAKER_06]: It's always have to hold them down and D-Bex did keep the Dodgers scoreless.
03:30.539 --> 03:33.420
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe the second shed out of the season against the Dodgers.
03:33.940 --> 03:35.640
[SPEAKER_06]: I think the last one was in Arizona.
03:35.960 --> 03:36.961
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not mistaken either way.
03:37.021 --> 03:41.002
[SPEAKER_06]: It is the second one of the year and it was a great momentum starting in a great way to start off the weekend.
03:41.362 --> 03:43.983
[SPEAKER_06]: As again, the D-Bex took this game a score of three to nothing.
03:44.023 --> 03:45.583
[SPEAKER_06]: Wasn't a blowout, wasn't anything super crazy.
03:46.123 --> 03:48.324
[SPEAKER_06]: But there was a lot of good in here, and I want to pass the game.
03:48.344 --> 03:49.404
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you like here in game one?
03:49.704 --> 03:56.827
[SPEAKER_06]: For me personally, I think probably what you'll go with and probably what a lot of people were, is that gown who has been really, really solved in the second half so far.
03:57.567 --> 03:58.728
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me look at his numbers.
03:58.768 --> 04:07.471
[SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, he is pretty much in the top part of the league with like worst ERAs, but over his last seven games, he has a three O, seven ERA.
04:08.111 --> 04:09.412
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's very nice for that count.
04:09.452 --> 04:11.013
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe not for us going into free agency.
04:11.053 --> 04:12.474
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe some of the teams are going to be interested in him.
04:12.494 --> 04:15.015
[SPEAKER_06]: But looking back at game one on Friday night, what did you like?
04:15.075 --> 04:16.817
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you maybe not like as much?
04:17.217 --> 04:20.619
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe if there's a couple of bats or a couple of moments here that you wanted to highlight and talk about.
04:22.058 --> 04:35.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, the main thing is that Galen just the way he's able to finish off August after having a really, I mean, yes, you know, dismal season so far, but I mean, after the deadline, he's had six starts.
04:36.067 --> 04:44.072
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a two point five seven year age in those six starts, he has in thirty five innings and he has a one point zero nine whip and I think that's the most important part of it.
04:44.092 --> 04:44.432
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just
04:44.912 --> 04:46.975
[SPEAKER_00]: who are the most worried is keeping guys off of the base.
04:47.015 --> 04:51.480
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not walking as many guys as he was throughout the season.
04:52.141 --> 04:57.006
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, yeah, nine walks to two to twenty eight strikeouts.
04:57.947 --> 05:01.151
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a really good, let's really give clip from where he had been.
05:01.231 --> 05:04.575
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even in July, he had five walks and thirds just strike out.
05:04.615 --> 05:04.715
[SPEAKER_00]: So
05:05.856 --> 05:21.173
[SPEAKER_00]: As the as the season has gone on he's been getting a lot better at controlling the walks and getting a little bit more strikeouts than than before, but just this month, I mean, overall you just did really good and then just haven't just fact that you was able to go six innings against the Dodgers as well.
05:21.673 --> 05:22.733
[SPEAKER_00]: How far is six?
05:22.993 --> 05:31.396
[SPEAKER_00]: He's had five ratings, everything else has been six innings, which is currently valuable for this team, especially with the way the bullpen has been so far.
05:31.976 --> 05:36.037
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I'm being able to go to six innings, so then the bullpen doesn't have to go, you know.
05:38.258 --> 05:47.424
[SPEAKER_00]: Four innings, five innings, like the way that we're in Milwaukee with some of those starts, just absolutely cast from that road trip and him giving them a chance to win.
05:48.025 --> 05:58.372
[SPEAKER_00]: And this team, I mean, they eventually ended up scoring some runs on Blake's now courtesy of, I believe this was the, um, the core of a Carol home.
05:58.812 --> 05:59.753
[SPEAKER_00]: No, Corp.
05:59.793 --> 06:00.654
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it wasn't Corp.
06:00.694 --> 06:03.297
[SPEAKER_00]: No, it was the blaze, the blaze Alexander home around there.
06:03.317 --> 06:04.978
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the home around the blaze.
06:05.859 --> 06:07.581
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of all the offices they needed.
06:07.601 --> 06:12.025
[SPEAKER_00]: And he has just, there's really impressive ones, especially with the bullpen.
06:12.045 --> 06:12.986
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the bullpen wasn't.
06:14.087 --> 06:21.154
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, the best yesterday, but overall, I think the both in there, they're the job the way they had to do it.
06:21.234 --> 06:29.261
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was just nice to start off the beginning with the win, being able to at least give us some hope at least in the meantime.
06:36.360 --> 06:36.840
[SPEAKER_06]: that you saw.
06:37.141 --> 06:38.601
[SPEAKER_06]: So I was a, I don't want my keyboard clocking.
06:38.621 --> 06:42.244
[SPEAKER_06]: He's definitely turned around for that guy on the last month that I definitely did not expect.
06:42.284 --> 06:43.404
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think a lot of us had that.
06:44.465 --> 06:47.887
[SPEAKER_06]: Especially what we saw for, you know, he was kind of treading in the direction he did not want to go to.
06:47.947 --> 06:50.949
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, we've been talking about a bunch done C-twenty-twenty-three all-star break.
06:51.390 --> 06:52.710
[SPEAKER_06]: He is not looked like this at gun.
06:52.730 --> 06:57.994
[SPEAKER_06]: I know he had a couple of solve performances in that twenty-twenty-three post-season, especially against the Dodgers.
06:58.114 --> 07:02.797
[SPEAKER_06]: I still, every time I see that guy on Facebook, Freddie Freeman, I still get flashbacks to that.
07:03.698 --> 07:07.302
[SPEAKER_06]: strike out that he had, or he just absolutely buckled framing on a curve ball like right down the middle.
07:07.983 --> 07:10.886
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, so he's definitely outside of a few performances here and there.
07:10.926 --> 07:14.029
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not like the Zach gallon of old, but this last month he really has.
07:14.049 --> 07:15.311
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, again, the three R.A.
07:15.691 --> 07:19.275
[SPEAKER_06]: Nothing like super insane, not like the, the gallon that we got that was, you know,
07:20.196 --> 07:25.339
[SPEAKER_06]: Breaking brain and web score, let's treat Gregory, record, putting his name into science, talks there.
07:25.399 --> 07:32.362
[SPEAKER_06]: But enough to where he might potentially get a couple, maybe not that big contract that he was looking for originally as a boss client.
07:32.843 --> 07:42.408
[SPEAKER_06]: But if he keeps pitching like this in a season, I think whether it's us or some team is going to be willing to give him like maybe a three, four or five year deal with an opt-out at the first year, kind of like a pedal on, so kind of like prove it.
07:42.968 --> 07:46.670
[SPEAKER_06]: to where he's not going to just get the qualifying offer and other teams are going to be interested.
07:47.151 --> 07:55.656
[SPEAKER_06]: I think if he keeps pitching like this then we're going to see him definitely be one of the more sought after pitchers on the freeage of market because you know people always need pitching especially us to hopefully we can at least retain him.
07:56.897 --> 08:01.880
[SPEAKER_06]: Probably won't be as expensive as he was you know in twenty twenty three we thought it would be a year or two go but
08:02.500 --> 08:08.302
[SPEAKER_06]: His values definitely training in a direction that it was a completely the opposite of going into August.
08:08.362 --> 08:22.006
[SPEAKER_06]: But Brandon, passing on to you down my friend, what did you like here in Game One, whether it was Galand if you wanted to add on or highlight something else about his start or something else in Game One here that you wanted to put the spotlight on and discuss.
08:22.932 --> 08:31.817
[SPEAKER_02]: So, on our last episode, Gabe and I were theorizing, maybe Blaze is coming up because Pavans probably want to go on the I.L., they did Call of Jordan Lawler.
08:32.798 --> 08:33.978
[SPEAKER_02]: He did play in this game.
08:35.779 --> 08:43.124
[SPEAKER_02]: And, yeah, this nothing seems to be really changing with him, and he is no confidence.
08:44.040 --> 08:47.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like Tyler Lock, like both of them have no confidence.
08:48.523 --> 08:52.265
[SPEAKER_02]: But for me, Jordan, it's not like Locklear.
08:52.525 --> 08:55.747
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's Jordan's probably never gonna play back to back days.
08:56.667 --> 09:02.090
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they literally said that he's gonna probably play two to three times a week, and it's gonna be on the left side.
09:02.130 --> 09:03.311
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's playing third base.
09:05.632 --> 09:07.113
[SPEAKER_02]: He looked great defensively.
09:08.775 --> 09:09.995
[SPEAKER_02]: but he still looks lost at the plate.
09:10.816 --> 09:15.737
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he had like, I think he's now even more hesitant to swing.
09:17.057 --> 09:23.579
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, because there were, there were, I think it was Sunday.
09:23.619 --> 09:29.260
[SPEAKER_02]: He had a strike out that he just looked bad looking on a very, very edible pitch.
09:29.320 --> 09:35.822
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but shout out to Galen, like, maybe he finally realized, oh, I need to pitch well if I want to get paid.
09:37.582 --> 09:39.983
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's really what he's done the last month, like we said.
09:40.663 --> 09:42.464
[SPEAKER_02]: He pitched thirty five endings this month.
09:42.784 --> 09:46.045
[SPEAKER_02]: He's only given up ten or so that two point five seven ERA is pretty good.
09:46.766 --> 09:50.047
[SPEAKER_02]: Since July first, his ERA is not too bad.
09:51.087 --> 09:52.348
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a three point seven four.
09:52.508 --> 10:01.972
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not awful opponents are slugging just under four hundred, which seems crazy because he's given up a lot of homers the last two months.
10:03.152 --> 10:04.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, sixty one strikeouts.
10:05.773 --> 10:10.695
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so like not awful, but it's not the like kind of Brett said.
10:11.215 --> 10:17.758
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not the two hundred million dollar phrase and contract that he thought he was going to get in twenty twenty three.
10:18.358 --> 10:20.599
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's definitely not happening.
10:21.639 --> 10:36.445
[SPEAKER_02]: if he pitches September like he did October maybe he gets a hundred million like maybe someone gives him like three years hundred or like four years like one ten maybe I think that's his really his best shot
10:40.042 --> 10:42.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, he's looked really, really, really good.
10:44.965 --> 10:48.647
[SPEAKER_02]: And in this game, James McCann was supposed to start.
10:48.767 --> 10:53.550
[SPEAKER_02]: He was in the initial starting lineup, but he tweeted his lower back, so they had Gabby go.
10:54.430 --> 10:55.891
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was interesting.
10:56.191 --> 10:56.831
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what that means?
10:59.533 --> 11:00.894
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby was the one called the pitches.
11:01.766 --> 11:05.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Normally, it starts past with Gabby.
11:05.627 --> 11:09.969
[SPEAKER_02]: It was all gallant, but it's worked really well with James McCann, Colin Pitches.
11:10.709 --> 11:13.870
[SPEAKER_02]: Zach only shook off Gabby a couple of times in this start.
11:15.010 --> 11:17.411
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's, it's very interesting.
11:17.551 --> 11:22.452
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that seems to be what it is, and we theorized it that Zach should stop calling his pitches.
11:22.972 --> 11:23.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he just,
11:25.067 --> 11:26.287
[SPEAKER_02]: It just, it wasn't working.
11:26.587 --> 11:27.828
[SPEAKER_02]: And look what happened in the last month.
11:27.868 --> 11:35.689
[SPEAKER_02]: James McCann was, I think, behind the play on every single one of his starts, he was calling the pitches and Zach has looked really, really good.
11:36.669 --> 11:49.952
[SPEAKER_02]: So also, blaze that his freaking bat flip just staring into the Dodgers dug out as he hits that Homer into the, uh, left field, uh, bullpen for the Dodgers was really, really great.
11:50.412 --> 11:51.492
[SPEAKER_02]: So blaze has been,
11:52.529 --> 11:54.030
[SPEAKER_02]: absolutely amazing.
11:54.490 --> 11:58.533
[SPEAKER_02]: Since he started playing full time, which is why I want Wallowed to play every day.
11:59.414 --> 12:01.215
[SPEAKER_02]: This is why he needs to play every day.
12:01.536 --> 12:07.880
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the only way that he's going to get better as he needs to see Major League pitching, playing two to three times a week.
12:08.500 --> 12:09.881
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just not going to do it.
12:11.883 --> 12:13.704
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just not.
12:15.405 --> 12:18.568
[SPEAKER_02]: I know everyone's calling him a boss saying he should be traded.
12:18.608 --> 12:20.289
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you're not going to get anything for him.
12:21.387 --> 12:26.768
[SPEAKER_02]: He's literally what, over twenty nine, I think, with like, twenty strikeouts.
12:28.649 --> 12:29.749
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't bear out the ball.
12:30.149 --> 12:32.630
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's the thing that's most frustrating with Jordan Lawler.
12:32.670 --> 12:34.150
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not making any contact.
12:34.930 --> 12:37.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is weird, because he destroys the ball in Reno.
12:38.831 --> 12:39.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:39.192 --> 12:43.613
[SPEAKER_02]: And once, like, people saying to sit him back down the Reno, he has nothing more to learn in Reno.
12:44.333 --> 12:44.513
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:44.533 --> 12:47.434
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to see that he destroys the ball in Reno.
12:47.454 --> 12:48.594
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to see Major League pitching.
12:49.118 --> 12:50.519
[SPEAKER_06]: He literally just needs consistent time.
12:50.539 --> 12:52.380
[SPEAKER_06]: And again, it sucks.
12:53.181 --> 12:58.445
[SPEAKER_06]: It's hard to give a guy consistent time when he's, you know, striking out two, three, four times a game, not getting a hit.
12:58.465 --> 13:05.970
[SPEAKER_06]: But, and I know the postseason isn't, you know, kind of, even after that loss against the Dodgers, which we'll get into second.
13:06.370 --> 13:07.251
[SPEAKER_06]: It seems like it's far out.
13:07.951 --> 13:09.012
[SPEAKER_06]: They're not out of it.
13:09.072 --> 13:11.314
[SPEAKER_06]: We've seen crazy things happen or crazy things happen.
13:11.334 --> 13:13.876
[SPEAKER_06]: So I get it like what they're still technically unlimited.
13:13.916 --> 13:15.357
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't want to just give up at bats.
13:17.278 --> 13:22.743
[SPEAKER_06]: You still gotta figure out going in the offices and you don't want a big question mark around Jordan dollar going into spring training next year.
13:23.203 --> 13:25.265
[SPEAKER_06]: So at some point you gotta just let him get a runway.
13:25.665 --> 13:30.029
[SPEAKER_06]: And yes, I say that as somebody who does have another financial investment into Jordan dollar, I get it.
13:30.109 --> 13:31.250
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I get it.
13:32.191 --> 13:35.914
[SPEAKER_06]: I got a lot, but even just speaking outside of that, like you gotta give him a little bit more of a runway.
13:35.974 --> 13:37.195
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think you can call the bus yet.
13:37.756 --> 13:38.456
[SPEAKER_06]: Again, it's
13:39.337 --> 13:40.418
[SPEAKER_06]: Mike Trout didn't even have it.
13:40.458 --> 13:42.159
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not even at the same amount of abats that Mike Trout.
13:42.179 --> 13:43.040
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not saying he's Mike Trout.
13:43.460 --> 13:46.742
[SPEAKER_06]: We can sometimes players, you got to give him a little bit of room to make some errors.
13:46.763 --> 13:48.404
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it, for all the predominant is first of year.
13:48.424 --> 13:51.146
[SPEAKER_06]: He was pretty rough, pretty rough to watch.
13:51.686 --> 13:53.868
[SPEAKER_06]: Now he's turning around once he got consistent playing time.
13:54.874 --> 13:57.557
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, he had to work out the kinks even in his full year playing time.
13:57.577 --> 14:05.807
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully you can turn around but yeah, the the blaze that is that is really not to see from blaze like he has been absolutely cooking he has been a you could say blaze and hot.
14:05.827 --> 14:11.314
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean again, nothing super right home about but seven seventy four OPS through hundred fifty two at bats a season.
14:11.814 --> 14:14.115
[SPEAKER_06]: He's the same one based percentage as Corbin.
14:14.555 --> 14:17.676
[SPEAKER_06]: He has an over seven hundred OPS in his last fifteen games.
14:18.036 --> 14:21.017
[SPEAKER_06]: He has an over I believe nine OPS in his last seven.
14:21.037 --> 14:22.257
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's been selling them all.
14:22.277 --> 14:23.217
[SPEAKER_06]: He's still striking out a bunch.
14:23.417 --> 14:33.900
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that because even Jack's numbers have a tweet about some of these young D-backs guys like Blaze, Locklear, Lawler, even Barossa, like Lawler, the young guys that they've called up Vukovitch.
14:36.081 --> 14:55.560
[SPEAKER_06]: any young guy that caught up with had a little bit of a strikeout issue here in the middle of the level so far so if you can just you know kind of get that locked in but like Brandon said what do you what a shock when you get consistent playing time yeah you know I just want to point out the fact also like I mean we've seen this in blazed like you last year when he came up he was blazing hot like that we made all these news about him because
14:56.200 --> 15:23.226
[SPEAKER_00]: That first month he was just absolutely tearing the cover off the ball and then the month after he just completely struggled just the strike and I wake too much not hitting very well and then getting sent down to Reno because he just really struggled after a couple of months and what's the league adjusted he couldn't adjust back and so this season when he came up he struggled but he was getting every day play and then he finally put things together and I believe for this model he's been in my two-fifty with almost an a hundred OPS which is
15:23.846 --> 15:25.687
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, kind of what you want from him.
15:25.707 --> 15:28.228
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't think it's just power.
15:28.308 --> 15:34.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you want power from the third base position, which is why I was referred to a lauler over blaze.
15:35.410 --> 15:39.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I think lauler also has stronger arm and more steady hands and blazes as well.
15:40.232 --> 15:47.596
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, like he said, you used to want that question to be lingering in the office in the whole time or even coming into coming out of spring training.
15:47.657 --> 15:54.801
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully, uh, Loller can get more consistent at batch because like, you know, we saw with, uh, blaze.
15:55.521 --> 15:56.782
[SPEAKER_00]: He's getting consistent at bats.
15:56.822 --> 15:57.882
[SPEAKER_00]: He's putting these together.
15:57.902 --> 15:59.623
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what we need out of these young guys.
15:59.663 --> 16:05.567
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't just give him ten at bats a week and then say, Oh, oh, he's not hitting like, Oh, yeah, of course, it's not hitting.
16:06.047 --> 16:07.208
[SPEAKER_00]: You're making him face off again.
16:07.228 --> 16:08.068
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a place now.
16:08.108 --> 16:08.769
[SPEAKER_00]: Yamamoto.
16:09.729 --> 16:16.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Yamamoto twice, Blake's now, um, Robbie Ray, like, they literally put them against the best pictures in the league.
16:17.274 --> 16:21.456
[SPEAKER_00]: Every single time he's gone out there, like, let him face off against Patrick Corbin.
16:21.516 --> 16:24.298
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there's a certain guy that he can maybe tee off of.
16:24.318 --> 16:24.938
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know, man.
16:25.038 --> 16:29.421
[SPEAKER_06]: Patrick Corbin and Republican President C turns into fucking shrine Randy Josh.
16:29.481 --> 16:31.562
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually did that on stream.
16:34.242 --> 16:36.503
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, looking at this as like a warrior A this season.
16:36.523 --> 16:39.283
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like he has a two point five or something like that.
16:39.323 --> 16:40.363
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not blinks now.
16:41.484 --> 16:45.885
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I like so I just think he needs time and he needs to be able to bad.
16:45.925 --> 16:49.325
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he mentioned there's a more there's nothing else he can do in Reno.
16:49.365 --> 16:56.207
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they didn't they just don't much sliders and he's can be able to hit him in Reno just to make things majorly pitching different.
16:56.807 --> 16:57.727
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's such a big step.
16:57.767 --> 16:59.248
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, he's twenty-three years old.
16:59.768 --> 17:00.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Blaze is twenty-six.
17:01.628 --> 17:05.529
[SPEAKER_00]: So for everyone saying, you know, trade-loller, keep Blaze.
17:05.629 --> 17:07.809
[SPEAKER_00]: Blaze turns twenty-seven years old next year.
17:07.849 --> 17:08.869
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's only going to get older.
17:09.710 --> 17:12.890
[SPEAKER_00]: And those reflexes get a little bit slower as you age as well.
17:13.010 --> 17:21.012
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to have the same issue with Blaze in, you know, in a couple of years that we have with a whole lot of other guys, you know, a lot sooner than we would with Lollar.
17:22.814 --> 17:26.376
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so I think it'll definitely be one of those where he just needs a little bit more of a runway.
17:27.016 --> 17:34.921
[SPEAKER_06]: And especially I think if we if we struggle in these next few weeks and we basically use solidify us not even having a chance of the wild card, then I feel like just fuck it dude.
17:35.081 --> 17:42.185
[SPEAKER_06]: Just give them some playing time, let them struggle like what else could work like, you know, like you said like we're in said, you gotta get this confidence up, let them face some of these, you know,
17:42.985 --> 18:01.336
[SPEAKER_06]: not sion caliper pictures that have a mid to's e array in like blakes milling y'all emoto were even established guys like Corbin Carroll could tell me or taste and guys like like that the struggle against him to give him some guys again yes it is he's been solidly but again it's a four-year a patch Corbin let him face in these higher e array guys
18:03.037 --> 18:04.599
[SPEAKER_06]: and hopefully you can give his a conference up here.
18:04.619 --> 18:08.962
[SPEAKER_06]: But I want to highlight some of our comments here from the chat here because again, we appreciate you guys every single time.
18:09.583 --> 18:12.946
[SPEAKER_06]: Either even if you're listening to us out of the fact that you're on the YouTube chat, we appreciate you guys too.
18:13.006 --> 18:16.109
[SPEAKER_06]: But those of you that are here, the chat with us, want to highlight some of the things here.
18:16.629 --> 18:22.395
[SPEAKER_06]: Even Scott McEggree's, he calls him the L boys in Lollar and Lockler, saying both Black holes in the line.
18:22.415 --> 18:28.840
[SPEAKER_06]: But at the moment, it is their borderline, basically, turning into Jose Herrera's part two and part three.
18:29.641 --> 18:31.843
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, which is a little bit unfortunate there.
18:32.363 --> 18:38.509
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I'm Harold, in regards to gallons and his best bet, and maybe one year deal to prove himself again and get a huge contract next year.
18:38.929 --> 18:39.910
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think that's probably what's going to be.
18:39.930 --> 18:45.254
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's going to be a penalized situation where you get to at least a couple of year of a deal with an opt-out.
18:45.875 --> 18:47.977
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, because I don't think I'll get a one year.
18:48.517 --> 18:51.440
[SPEAKER_06]: I worse the one year, but my get a couple of year with an opt-out, but, uh,
18:52.836 --> 18:55.917
[SPEAKER_06]: Oscar, obviously, those are coming here and just poke the bear.
18:56.577 --> 18:58.198
[SPEAKER_06]: Says, Lawler is a bus trade for Lindor.
18:58.998 --> 19:00.498
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, we already got the best sports out in baseball.
19:00.518 --> 19:02.699
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't need an overhyped, three hundred million dollar shorts out.
19:02.939 --> 19:10.481
[SPEAKER_06]: That's, that's not good as our boy, Frog Domo, who apparently does, does not like the, or is not in on the nickname, as much as the rest of us are.
19:12.401 --> 19:17.002
[SPEAKER_06]: Even Scott Max and Max as a blaze has, or blaze, played this point has greatly improved.
19:17.402 --> 19:19.523
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's funny enough, again, I know,
19:21.269 --> 19:27.189
[SPEAKER_06]: It's it's not the same player, but gets you as one more home run and around almost a hundred plus that that's this year.
19:29.407 --> 19:32.569
[SPEAKER_06]: It's our designated hitter, pavementsmith, who might miss the rest of the season.
19:32.589 --> 19:33.329
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's fun.
19:34.089 --> 19:39.432
[SPEAKER_06]: That blazes already almost mashed to season home run totals in around a hundred or a hundred, maybe like ninety-something less A.B.s.
19:40.173 --> 19:44.535
[SPEAKER_06]: Oscar also says in chat, the thing is that he may not get consistent at bats, he should at least give a good at bat.
19:45.075 --> 19:45.756
[SPEAKER_06]: That is a problem for me.
19:45.776 --> 19:47.336
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's, I think that's a very, very point.
19:47.376 --> 19:51.819
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it does start that sort of as that bat, he does get into pretty, you know, quick, O-two, one-two counts.
19:52.379 --> 20:17.028
[SPEAKER_06]: on the dozen of striking out like you know when I believe Gabriel Brandon was saying he doesn't really bear up any balls seems like he's just not really having any good like not even really good at bats where he it kind of goes up there whether he's looking for specific pitch doesn't get it I know a lot of pitch is probably no like hate throwing breaking balls it's been a big issue we've talked about it other people talked about it hasn't adjusted to it for the at the major level so that is one thing that I would like to see him
20:17.668 --> 20:42.003
[SPEAKER_06]: Even if it starts just to be some fell and off get some hard hit fell balls and some breaking balls start to have longer TVs North to count a little bit more but just put the ball and play a little bit more because when you put the ball and play you get things happen and then once you try to put the ball and play you can get a little bit more confidence built up that way like hey I hate it right at the guy but I hit that thing like you know hundred miles an hour or he made a really really good play to prevent me from getting a base at there so it builds it that way but I do agree with Oscar and just needs a little bit more
20:46.040 --> 20:47.621
[SPEAKER_06]: I'd say like competent about it.
20:48.182 --> 20:56.467
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think he had a couple of hardouts.
20:56.527 --> 21:02.451
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, his last bad against play training, play training is playing training.
21:02.692 --> 21:05.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's having the easiest run way out.
21:05.313 --> 21:08.676
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, play training is discussing that he took five pitches from him.
21:09.616 --> 21:10.977
[SPEAKER_00]: So he wasn't a complete, you know,
21:12.098 --> 21:12.978
[SPEAKER_00]: nothing out there.
21:14.279 --> 21:29.125
[SPEAKER_00]: But then in the eighth, I mean, he did their door three balls three down the middle, but at ninety eight miles an hour from ten or Scott and you was able to put some decent contact off of it, but it was just a good defensive play from the from geek ass.
21:29.165 --> 21:33.627
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, he could have gotten the hit right there, but they just made a good play off of it, but
21:34.628 --> 21:43.458
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good to see them make good solid contact, at least in Sunday's games, make some contact, at least work to count a little bit more than yet.
21:43.498 --> 21:47.843
[SPEAKER_00]: So I feel like you know, turnaround is coming like out-hopey place today.
21:47.883 --> 21:48.824
[SPEAKER_00]: That's my main thing.
21:48.844 --> 21:53.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, then play against the lefty in Petra Corbin doesn't have the best numbers ever.
21:54.030 --> 22:00.574
[SPEAKER_00]: He can't get that confidence up and so, you know, he's able to get that first and because I think, he just, he presses.
22:00.734 --> 22:03.175
[SPEAKER_00]: He starts pressing just like everybody else in his lineup.
22:03.235 --> 22:05.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this isn't anything new about these dynamics.
22:05.336 --> 22:09.819
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of them press and then, you know, they get themselves out.
22:10.119 --> 22:17.743
[SPEAKER_00]: So, right now, I think the way things are going, I mean, we can talk about them as well, but block clear, lock clear is an absolute zero.
22:17.803 --> 22:20.944
[SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of just a does this season for him.
22:20.964 --> 22:21.305
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
22:22.285 --> 22:25.267
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if the, I guess Reno is still going.
22:25.288 --> 22:32.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe set him down there, but the problem is we set him down, then somebody else gets hurt.
22:32.273 --> 22:32.933
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of it.
22:32.993 --> 22:34.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, Paving is out.
22:34.154 --> 22:39.558
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think going forward, Vogue, I should take that, that first base bot.
22:39.598 --> 22:41.079
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been swinging pretty decently.
22:41.160 --> 22:47.765
[SPEAKER_00]: So having Vogue out there at first, I feel a lot more confident than, you know, having lock through there, just,
22:48.505 --> 22:51.186
[SPEAKER_00]: be in an absolute black hole, like I don't say in the comments.
22:51.206 --> 22:57.148
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you're giving them three free outs with him and you so far you've been giving them three free outs with law law as well.
22:57.208 --> 23:00.909
[SPEAKER_00]: So you can have six free outs in this lineup every single day.
23:00.969 --> 23:08.112
[SPEAKER_00]: So you put one in or you take one out like it has to be one or the other one, but for the most right to think.
23:08.812 --> 23:11.173
[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen what we needed to see from locker the Earth's season.
23:11.233 --> 23:12.313
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not going to get any better.
23:12.373 --> 23:14.633
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been getting consistent at bats since being brought up.
23:14.693 --> 23:16.634
[SPEAKER_00]: So with him, I do think he's a guy.
23:16.654 --> 23:22.095
[SPEAKER_00]: You could probably just bench and then completely retool his swing for next season because I think that's the main problem right now.
23:22.135 --> 23:22.615
[SPEAKER_00]: It's his swing.
23:22.675 --> 23:23.635
[SPEAKER_00]: It's completely broken.
23:24.255 --> 23:27.236
[SPEAKER_00]: He just has no power, no anything.
23:27.276 --> 23:28.616
[SPEAKER_00]: He has no control over that swing.
23:28.656 --> 23:38.238
[SPEAKER_00]: So things maybe shut him down for the season, retool him for next season and then hopefully turns out to be, you know, a major league caliber first baseman.
23:39.613 --> 23:41.014
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so the Vargas is an interesting one.
23:41.034 --> 23:43.556
[SPEAKER_06]: He's only played like twenty three innings total at first base.
23:44.517 --> 23:47.260
[SPEAKER_06]: And that was back in twenty twenty, the making mouse season.
23:48.201 --> 23:57.849
[SPEAKER_06]: So definitely be an interesting transition, but I mean, it might be one of those where you take what you can get, at least with some a little bit of a positive on the app side versus maybe a little bit native defense.
23:57.909 --> 23:59.270
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not like he's, you know, stellar defense.
23:59.290 --> 24:00.071
[SPEAKER_06]: He is at least, you know.
24:01.532 --> 24:10.840
[SPEAKER_06]: It's serviceable at first base, but there's definitely going to be some big question marks around him, even some luller going into the offseason, the things continue the way they're currently going.
24:11.400 --> 24:12.601
[SPEAKER_06]: And if they end the season, the way they are.
24:12.641 --> 24:19.046
[SPEAKER_06]: But thankfully, we didn't have to worry about, you know, they're not the focus too much on those players in game two.
24:19.507 --> 24:28.994
[SPEAKER_06]: As really the offense in the game two here, would you believe me if I said it was a pitcher's duel where Ed Warrer Rodriguez and Tyler Glass now were basically going bar for bar with each other?
24:29.815 --> 24:38.587
[SPEAKER_06]: And in the year of our Lord, twenty twenty five Eduardo Rodriguez outside of four walks was borderline matching Tyler glass now anyway.
24:38.627 --> 24:39.969
[SPEAKER_06]: So he rode with six innings.
24:40.009 --> 24:45.417
[SPEAKER_06]: He only give a four hits did walk for four strikeouts for no home runs, but I'm okay with walking.
24:46.318 --> 24:54.305
[SPEAKER_06]: As long as the runs don't come around, especially in some of those situations, you can avoid leaving that's something over the middle and like a three-two count to one of the more dangerous dangerous hitters than I do it.
24:54.785 --> 24:58.088
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's like that gown.
24:58.128 --> 25:00.210
[SPEAKER_06]: He's the the jekyll and hide at what a rudder he is.
25:00.891 --> 25:06.836
[SPEAKER_06]: Still putting up the same numbers or worst numbers and erod in his contract here, so if we could see him turn that around a little bit, it'd be a little bit better.
25:08.257 --> 25:10.999
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, he's been, at least better here in this game.
25:11.699 --> 25:13.500
[SPEAKER_06]: But the D-backs were kind of getting shut down there.
25:13.540 --> 25:16.002
[SPEAKER_06]: There were no hit through five innings against Tommy Glass now.
25:17.403 --> 25:19.944
[SPEAKER_06]: Who was, again, really, really solved.
25:20.284 --> 25:23.346
[SPEAKER_06]: But to nobody surprised, once again, he's only at sixty eight innings pitched.
25:24.427 --> 25:31.031
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think Gabe, the season, or before the season said that neither Hamor Blake's now would reach a hundred twenty one and combine the season.
25:31.051 --> 25:32.652
[SPEAKER_06]: They're not even at a hundred twenty one for the both of them.
25:34.273 --> 25:39.957
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's just a fun little fun little thing there, but he was keeping the feedbacks hitless into the fifth inning.
25:40.538 --> 25:41.238
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe they got.
25:41.258 --> 25:44.261
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me see which hit it was because I know somebody else broke it up.
25:45.001 --> 25:48.804
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was sixth inning ahead by Vargas.
25:49.236 --> 25:51.079
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so Vargas broke up the no hit in the sixth inning.
25:51.940 --> 25:56.105
[SPEAKER_06]: You did not come around a score, but then the the Dodgers out of chance there.
25:56.165 --> 25:59.450
[SPEAKER_06]: The Dodgers had a chance to kind of score there.
25:59.470 --> 26:03.815
[SPEAKER_06]: I believe it was in the the fitting before that runs around second and third.
26:04.456 --> 26:06.417
[SPEAKER_06]: Otani had a fly ball to Loris Garelle Jr.
26:06.838 --> 26:21.687
[SPEAKER_06]: And Loris just absolutely gunned down and reggae Hernandez at home, where I think that was a little bit more of the Dodgers movie that should have been in his eyesight, kind of telling him to slide because he didn't even slide, he just tried to go into home play standing and Gabby got the tag on him.
26:22.147 --> 26:24.769
[SPEAKER_06]: It wasn't enough evidence to overturn it, so the college is stood.
26:25.389 --> 26:28.791
[SPEAKER_06]: Could have gone both ways, but thankfully the original call on the field was out so they could no return it.
26:29.111 --> 26:35.154
[SPEAKER_06]: So the guys did turn a double play when there's another second and third with nobody out and the Dodgers don't get any runs across there.
26:35.515 --> 26:41.918
[SPEAKER_06]: But the he backs it do end up breaking these years or your tie in the seventh inning as Corb him Carroll make sure you use Corb him.
26:42.798 --> 26:44.960
[SPEAKER_06]: He went four eleven with one of six off the bat.
26:45.920 --> 26:51.367
[SPEAKER_06]: against how to glass out on a first pitch of the ending of Slider that just hung from the last of the terrible sliders.
26:51.467 --> 26:57.474
[SPEAKER_06]: Slider in on the hands, but Corbin got the barrel down on it, launched it out for his twenty coming of the year, made a one-nothing game.
26:57.494 --> 27:00.878
[SPEAKER_06]: Then the D-backs hit two different doubles, which is it's funny.
27:00.898 --> 27:02.941
[SPEAKER_06]: It was backed back to doubles, but the run didn't score.
27:02.961 --> 27:04.723
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm assuming he's cause Lorda said to hold up there.
27:05.403 --> 27:14.688
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, but the heads up play Gabby Marino had a sackfly that scored Lordess, but then a, uh, a misplayed ball from a, the Andy, or Andy Paws threw it in.
27:15.208 --> 27:17.429
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, your tornadoes kind of misplayed the ball at third base there.
27:17.489 --> 27:22.932
[SPEAKER_06]: So Blizz was able to come around all the way from second base on that fly ball and two runs score in one sackfly that made it a three nothing game.
27:23.452 --> 27:27.874
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, Dodgers got one more there on a mookie bets single in the, uh, seventh inning.
27:28.554 --> 27:46.872
[SPEAKER_06]: So they immediately answer back and again our bullpen is a little bit scary and a little bit shaky but thankfully we got a little bit more insurance there with two outs the device put together a a little bit or oh I guess not two outs blaze got a single and then with two outs Tyler Lockler worked actually a pretty solid I bet he ended up getting a walk after being down one two in the count
27:47.232 --> 27:49.953
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I'll do more of our, yes, absolutely cramped one.
27:50.314 --> 28:02.340
[SPEAKER_06]: He got a four seam reprimates right over the middle of the plate, sent it four hundred and twenty three feet, a hundred and four miles an hour off the bat to give them some much need insurance, made it six to one d-backs and then the bullpen took care of the rest of the work there.
28:02.360 --> 28:11.324
[SPEAKER_06]: A one two three nine thinning, including a really really nice diving, I guess sliding play from Corbin here all there in right field, solidify the d-backs, six one win and solidify the series win.
28:11.725 --> 28:13.445
[SPEAKER_06]: And the momentum was just going up from there.
28:13.465 --> 28:15.006
[SPEAKER_06]: That was the d-backs fourth win in a row.
28:16.707 --> 28:19.128
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, they don't normally play too well in Dodger Stadium.
28:19.148 --> 28:24.952
[SPEAKER_06]: So it was really best to see them take these first two and allowing only one run across eighteen inning to the Dodgers.
28:24.992 --> 28:32.196
[SPEAKER_06]: So analyzing everything we saw here, obviously, Carol and Blaze were the own, Carol, Blaze and Vargas were the only two that had multi-hit games in here.
28:33.276 --> 28:34.277
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you like from this game?
28:34.317 --> 28:38.539
[SPEAKER_06]: Obviously, whether it's E-Rod, whether it's Corbin's Home Run, maybe even the Vargas with the Clutch it.
28:38.819 --> 28:41.341
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you want to highlight here in Game Three that really stood out to you?
28:41.421 --> 28:43.422
[SPEAKER_06]: Or Game Two here that really stood out to you in the D-Bex win?
28:44.790 --> 28:46.632
[SPEAKER_00]: It was Corbin's adjustment.
28:46.732 --> 28:51.476
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the strategy that he had in the first inning against Tyler Glass, now it was a slider inside.
28:51.496 --> 28:55.839
[SPEAKER_00]: And that little corner spot and was a home run that he hit in the seventh.
28:56.420 --> 28:58.401
[SPEAKER_00]: It was a slider in the exact same spot.
28:58.662 --> 29:02.765
[SPEAKER_00]: The difference is he adjusted to it and he, you know, could, you know, he spotted it up.
29:03.145 --> 29:06.328
[SPEAKER_00]: And he, I believe he had an at bat in the fifth inning.
29:07.109 --> 29:09.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Glass out through him with pitch there too, but it was a sink at that time.
29:09.771 --> 29:11.852
[SPEAKER_00]: He just ended up flying out or popping up.
29:13.134 --> 29:21.321
[SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like he was ready for that slider and he adjusted to it and was able to hit it out there and I think that's something that we've been seeing from Corbin this last couple of years.
29:21.341 --> 29:25.945
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just his ability to adjust and not strike out the way he had early on this season.
29:26.005 --> 29:29.027
[SPEAKER_00]: That's one of the main things that we've been talking about with Corbin.
29:30.329 --> 29:34.473
[SPEAKER_00]: He has been striking out a little bit too much this season.
29:34.493 --> 29:43.182
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a whole new swing, but he also, you know, has that bone chip and, you know, he had some other things.
29:43.262 --> 29:47.145
[SPEAKER_00]: I made it a little bit hard for him to actually get some actual real power and then re-tooled in the swing.
29:47.946 --> 29:49.188
[SPEAKER_00]: And he seems to be coming around.
29:49.248 --> 29:52.691
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, right now he's betting what to hit the eight for the season or two, hit the six.
29:54.912 --> 29:55.572
[SPEAKER_00]: at two fifty eight.
29:56.233 --> 29:57.893
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's the thing that I mentioned.
29:57.913 --> 30:07.915
[SPEAKER_00]: It was the last, the last couple of times on the podcast shows that it seems like he's underperforming most of just because his, his average is a bit low.
30:08.695 --> 30:20.217
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know average is everything, everything, but I know a guy with carosability, he should be able to have a two, seventy, two, eighty batting average along with the power and everything else that he has.
30:21.018 --> 30:22.958
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just been struggling that way too much this season, but
30:24.059 --> 30:26.441
[SPEAKER_00]: We've been doing it for the last month in the last thirty games.
30:27.181 --> 30:35.427
[SPEAKER_00]: He has eight homeruns, twenty one in our PI, sixteen walks, which is the huge improvement, and then thirty three strikeouts and eight stolen bases.
30:35.507 --> 30:38.590
[SPEAKER_00]: So we saw him just not being able to steal early on the season.
30:38.930 --> 30:45.235
[SPEAKER_00]: And so the average and on base since like in his two ninety one three seventy and six oh seven.
30:45.315 --> 30:48.978
[SPEAKER_00]: So he has a nine seventy seven OPS in the last month.
30:49.498 --> 30:52.322
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I think he can be and should be going forward.
30:52.363 --> 31:02.998
[SPEAKER_00]: So I do think of you average out these numbers for the rest of the season and with this new swing and seems like he's finally got you know got it down and he has it where he needs to be.
31:03.058 --> 31:03.519
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think
31:04.540 --> 31:19.806
[SPEAKER_00]: going into next season, he could be able to put a some money on him for a probably forty-fourty season and then repeat type season from Corbin Carroll because of the fact that seems like he's finally got that swing under control and he has the power that he's been needing all season.
31:21.212 --> 31:24.533
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, it's been nice to see the kind of the turnaround he's had, obviously.
31:24.973 --> 31:28.553
[SPEAKER_06]: The injury had a little bit of a time where he was, he was really struggling there.
31:29.074 --> 31:32.234
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, a nearly a chance to have a thirty-thirty season.
31:32.254 --> 31:43.996
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I don't think anybody, even when he was drafted, he was brought up, everyone was saying like, you know, I know he's a little bit small at the time, but they're like, yeah, that's guys, you know, speed guy could defense not really an arm, but he's like a twenty, like, fifteen, twenty home run guy.
31:44.336 --> 31:46.097
[SPEAKER_06]: The fact that he could be a thirty home run guy is
31:48.414 --> 31:48.994
[SPEAKER_06]: It's pretty crazy.
31:49.014 --> 31:57.877
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think, literally any of us saw that like coming, but, you know, if you could get the thirty, and especially if it wasn't for the Cold Street, you could have been like a thirty five plus home run guy.
31:57.897 --> 32:03.638
[SPEAKER_06]: What's okay, because the speaker Armstrong is clearly the person that everybody should be one another team around.
32:03.939 --> 32:04.859
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
32:04.879 --> 32:07.920
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to give a sleeper some shit for that, for no matter how long.
32:09.522 --> 32:11.763
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, the Corbin was with Stellar on this game.
32:12.464 --> 32:13.844
[SPEAKER_06]: That was just when you did make a good point.
32:13.924 --> 32:15.505
[SPEAKER_06]: He really turned on that pitch.
32:16.046 --> 32:18.787
[SPEAKER_06]: It's just been nice to see the triad that he's making, especially the stolen bases.
32:18.827 --> 32:23.129
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's a big key because I mean, a three, three or three on base isn't like the most stellar.
32:23.149 --> 32:26.551
[SPEAKER_06]: Especially from Corbin, obviously, strikes out probably a little bit more than maybe we would hope.
32:26.992 --> 32:35.396
[SPEAKER_06]: But when, you know, you kind of had those kind of home run numbers and the triples and the doubles, you might take a little bit more swing and miss with that kind of offensive production.
32:37.157 --> 32:40.900
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, I think that he's definitely been a bright spot.
32:41.840 --> 32:44.982
[SPEAKER_06]: And if we can keep him, you know, maybe get none of this a little bit more.
32:45.022 --> 32:49.705
[SPEAKER_06]: If he can get to that thirty thirty mark, I know some of those numbers don't matter to really anybody other than like fans.
32:49.745 --> 32:51.967
[SPEAKER_06]: I know a lot of players like dude, I don't like, I don't care.
32:52.127 --> 32:53.468
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it's been done before.
32:53.508 --> 32:54.509
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not like that crazy.
32:54.889 --> 33:04.075
[SPEAKER_06]: It'd just be cool to be able to be like, yeah, Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb and Corb
33:04.495 --> 33:09.040
[SPEAKER_06]: I do think a soul bases in a month isn't out is or nine soul bases in a month isn't undoable.
33:09.440 --> 33:16.186
[SPEAKER_06]: We just need to see him get a couple more singles, but it's hard to see him get singles and walks when he's always hitting homeruns and triples and is already putting himself.
33:16.206 --> 33:17.387
[SPEAKER_02]: He would walk more.
33:17.687 --> 33:18.508
[SPEAKER_02]: It would happen.
33:19.429 --> 33:21.471
[SPEAKER_02]: For sure, but he does.
33:21.911 --> 33:30.219
[SPEAKER_02]: Like for him, it's like it's actually based like he literally, I think he's second behind judge in extra base hits and I'll eventually a baseball.
33:31.597 --> 33:38.187
[SPEAKER_06]: at the judges having insane you can't believe that in that franchise he's already fifth all time in home runs for the Yankees it's insane.
33:38.627 --> 33:47.520
[SPEAKER_06]: I still want to count it when MVP and I still hope that he does just because the nuclear meltdown that I'd see on Twitter from a certain fan base would be absolutely fucking hilarious, but
33:47.880 --> 33:55.383
[SPEAKER_06]: Brandon passing on the user, looking at game through here, whether it was the offensive side or the pitching side of the things, maybe even, sorry, getting to my bad.
33:55.984 --> 34:02.686
[SPEAKER_06]: Whether it was the offensive side, pitching side, or maybe even the defensive side of the game with that really good play from Lord us and Gabby.
34:02.986 --> 34:06.368
[SPEAKER_06]: What did you want to highlight here and talk about in the DBX six one went over the Dodgers?
34:07.130 --> 34:10.851
[SPEAKER_02]: I was really impressed by Eduardo Rodriguez.
34:11.171 --> 34:19.334
[SPEAKER_02]: For him to bounce back after that abysmal performance against the brewers, we're just couldn't get guys out there in the third inning.
34:19.854 --> 34:27.316
[SPEAKER_02]: Comes back and gets six shot out innings against the best team in baseball.
34:28.628 --> 34:30.949
[SPEAKER_02]: was I was really impressed.
34:32.269 --> 34:35.491
[SPEAKER_02]: But his ERA is still ridiculous.
34:35.531 --> 34:36.511
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like five point four.
34:36.591 --> 34:42.794
[SPEAKER_02]: Like with the amount of endings that he's thrown for his ERA to be that high is just insane.
34:44.234 --> 34:45.095
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going anywhere.
34:46.315 --> 34:48.536
[SPEAKER_02]: Like for everyone's like, we need to get better of them.
34:48.556 --> 34:50.617
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they need to do what they do with mad bum.
34:52.186 --> 34:58.189
[SPEAKER_02]: I doubt it because we are starting pitching depth is non-existent.
34:58.249 --> 35:05.433
[SPEAKER_02]: So they would have to go inside multiple guys, which I just based on the reports of them trying to reduce payroll.
35:05.813 --> 35:10.936
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't have a lot of faith in that.
35:11.076 --> 35:19.261
[SPEAKER_02]: For people that we're saying we need to have a discussion at the beginning of the year that Jose Herrera was a better catcher than Gabby because Jose Herrera was hot for two weeks.
35:20.161 --> 35:20.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby has made
35:22.030 --> 35:25.572
[SPEAKER_02]: two phenomenal plays at home, but at home play.
35:25.672 --> 35:33.637
[SPEAKER_02]: And like the last, like since he came back, there was the Corbin Carroll tentating tag against the Reds, and then there was this one.
35:33.837 --> 35:35.578
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they weren't bad throws.
35:35.618 --> 35:37.899
[SPEAKER_02]: He just made them a little bit better.
35:39.060 --> 35:42.001
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it mooky does his job and tells Kika to slide.
35:42.021 --> 35:43.702
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not even close.
35:43.862 --> 35:46.304
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he is safe, but because he goes standing up,
35:47.570 --> 35:48.210
[SPEAKER_02]: It was close.
35:48.431 --> 35:58.196
[SPEAKER_02]: Like on the broadcast, they would tell like they definitely like Steven Ganzo were totally maybe they reversed the call and I'm like, I can see it because it.
35:59.157 --> 36:03.280
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, the call in the field was out and there was not enough to overturn.
36:03.300 --> 36:05.201
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was like, thank you because that.
36:05.861 --> 36:08.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, as soon as that ending happened, I'm like, oh, great.
36:08.024 --> 36:19.718
[SPEAKER_02]: Here comes another one of these erod four five run endings could give give up like three hits in a row, but that double play by Gary L and Gabby was huge.
36:20.118 --> 36:21.420
[SPEAKER_02]: So congrats.
36:23.876 --> 36:27.620
[SPEAKER_02]: The thing with Carol in it, like I didn't realize until gay brought it up literally.
36:28.101 --> 36:31.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Glasgow, glass now through that slider and every up back.
36:31.865 --> 36:34.587
[SPEAKER_02]: He struck him out and his first hit bat in the first.
36:34.948 --> 36:36.129
[SPEAKER_02]: He threw it again in the fourth.
36:36.209 --> 36:37.030
[SPEAKER_02]: Carol popped it up.
36:37.631 --> 36:42.395
[SPEAKER_02]: He did it a third time in the seventh and Carol goes yard.
36:42.536 --> 36:44.918
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that adjustment by Carol.
36:45.919 --> 36:57.265
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's something that just not a lot of people are talking is his ability to always be adjusting to how teams are pitching him every series.
36:57.805 --> 37:03.948
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he might struggle on one pitch or in a certain location in one series, team will try and go back there again.
37:03.968 --> 37:10.031
[SPEAKER_02]: And he makes them pay for it, which is why he is one of the most dangerous players.
37:11.512 --> 37:13.252
[SPEAKER_02]: I still think he is a top five player.
37:13.553 --> 37:14.253
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes really baseball.
37:15.023 --> 37:21.365
[SPEAKER_06]: If you guys have two top three top, I would say top ten players, multiple MVP candidates.
37:21.405 --> 37:26.386
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, Prado was putting a name in there, his name in there, Carol, like like, thirty, thirty.
37:27.667 --> 37:28.667
[SPEAKER_02]: That's asking a lot.
37:29.227 --> 37:34.929
[SPEAKER_02]: I want the twenty, twenty, twenty because I think that is a more exclusive accomplishment.
37:35.789 --> 37:38.010
[SPEAKER_02]: because thirty thirty like happens quite a bit.
37:38.690 --> 37:41.452
[SPEAKER_02]: We haven't had a twenty twenty twenty season in a while.
37:41.972 --> 37:45.234
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm hoping if he can get because he's four triples away.
37:46.114 --> 37:48.856
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets one or two triples on this next home stand.
37:49.676 --> 37:57.400
[SPEAKER_02]: It is very doable because for Carol hit hitting triples at Chase Field is like how most guys hit doubles.
37:58.213 --> 38:07.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you hit in that right field gap or down the right field line, he does even, he's at second base when the ball, when the guys field in the ball there in the corner.
38:07.837 --> 38:15.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Especially if it takes a very odd weird bounce, which Carol knows that corner very, very well.
38:15.900 --> 38:17.521
[SPEAKER_02]: He plays anyone games in that corner.
38:17.901 --> 38:19.022
[SPEAKER_02]: So he definitely knows
38:20.042 --> 38:23.286
[SPEAKER_02]: how to read it from when he's running the basis.
38:23.626 --> 38:31.356
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, in that Vargas Homer, I was, I freaking yelled y'all because I was scared because it's our bullpan.
38:31.416 --> 38:32.197
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like three one.
38:32.217 --> 38:33.278
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't feel great.
38:33.738 --> 38:35.681
[SPEAKER_02]: He hit that three one Homer and I'm like, yes.
38:36.301 --> 38:37.062
[SPEAKER_02]: And the fact is,
38:38.216 --> 38:41.518
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew Woodford was coming in and I was going to watch like this.
38:41.899 --> 38:42.499
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't watch.
38:42.919 --> 38:43.840
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't watch it.
38:44.060 --> 38:47.042
[SPEAKER_02]: Woodford go for a three one save.
38:47.122 --> 38:51.445
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was really, really glad that they've been able to kind of push that lead.
38:51.725 --> 38:58.930
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, it didn't make a difference, but it could have like coming back three one compared to six one is a lot different.
38:59.891 --> 39:01.532
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, shout out.
39:01.812 --> 39:05.935
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, Erod, I just need like, I don't need you to
39:07.127 --> 39:07.828
[SPEAKER_02]: throw shutouts?
39:08.308 --> 39:13.132
[SPEAKER_02]: I would like you to, you just can't have where we're down five or six before the fit.
39:13.573 --> 39:14.073
[SPEAKER_02]: You just can't.
39:14.273 --> 39:17.076
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's that is asking too much for this offense.
39:17.156 --> 39:26.824
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's when this offense tries to go home run or bust, which we've talked about that for what, almost two years now how it's not sustainable.
39:27.585 --> 39:32.726
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's when we see them go on these three or four games where they just, they don't do anything.
39:33.886 --> 39:42.648
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the runners in scoring position numbers, like that for me, I think is where their struggles are is when they try and hit a home.
39:42.688 --> 39:44.748
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, you have a guy on second with one out.
39:45.028 --> 39:46.068
[SPEAKER_02]: Get a single, drive him in.
39:46.569 --> 39:51.570
[SPEAKER_02]: Or as Tori says, building ending, single them to death or single and walks.
39:52.830 --> 39:53.910
[SPEAKER_02]: Chaos ball, like,
39:55.868 --> 39:57.289
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I really want to see.
39:57.309 --> 39:59.111
[SPEAKER_02]: The Homer's are nice.
40:00.052 --> 40:01.973
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just not sustainable.
40:03.074 --> 40:06.817
[SPEAKER_02]: And when they try and do it, it's when they really, really struggle.
40:07.518 --> 40:09.880
[SPEAKER_06]: When Gabe brings it up, he's called a madman.
40:10.040 --> 40:12.382
[SPEAKER_06]: He's called on a Twitter for being a Debbie Downer.
40:13.063 --> 40:14.364
[SPEAKER_06]: But then anybody else does it.
40:14.384 --> 40:15.365
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's like, yeah, wow.
40:16.806 --> 40:17.546
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe you're onto something.
40:17.707 --> 40:20.429
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, it's almost like we've seen this for two years now.
40:22.281 --> 40:23.582
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully, hopefully, we can see them.
40:24.162 --> 40:26.363
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, again, we're hitting with our screen position as a big issue.
40:26.383 --> 40:32.187
[SPEAKER_06]: I've even seen a lot of like, during that, like, Yankee series against the Red Sox, or Red Sox series against Yankees.
40:33.327 --> 40:37.810
[SPEAKER_06]: I saw a lot of Red Sox fans that were posting a meme for Micronic Leon, all mind fans.
40:37.930 --> 40:40.191
[SPEAKER_06]: It was like a dad coming into the room with like a belt.
40:40.611 --> 40:44.614
[SPEAKER_06]: And it was, they were like, and then the sun's had a Red Sox logo on it.
40:44.814 --> 40:46.555
[SPEAKER_06]: It was like, it's hitting with risk time.
40:46.575 --> 40:47.715
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's like, no dad, no.
40:48.236 --> 40:50.237
[SPEAKER_06]: We're like, a lot of teams really struggle with the
40:50.717 --> 40:52.918
[SPEAKER_06]: hitting with ground position so it's not just a UX thing.
40:54.579 --> 40:59.121
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm pretty sure it's an under like three hundred average or maybe even under like probably.
40:59.561 --> 41:01.422
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's a really great thing.
41:01.622 --> 41:07.345
[SPEAKER_00]: I think overall, I think every time, you know, I do check out the team's subreddit and every single time.
41:07.385 --> 41:09.486
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, oh, we can't hit with ground position scoring position.
41:09.546 --> 41:12.107
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, who is hitting with ground position?
41:12.127 --> 41:13.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Because there's a number one team.
41:13.508 --> 41:14.888
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a number thirty team.
41:14.948 --> 41:16.769
[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, the teams are at the top.
41:16.789 --> 41:18.430
[SPEAKER_00]: Usually are the better teams.
41:19.330 --> 41:24.254
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they'll have series where they'll technically bat like three hundred.
41:25.095 --> 41:39.426
[SPEAKER_00]: Four of that series run just composition, but we mentioned before it would be like one for eight and then seven for eight and then again one for eight so then it just seems like a lot higher average than it probably should have been at the end of the day, you know.
41:40.126 --> 41:43.029
[SPEAKER_00]: And this game, they did what they needed to do.
41:43.049 --> 41:48.334
[SPEAKER_00]: They just put in, they had clutch hits and they had clutch hits, this whole series, which is what we've been wanting to see.
41:48.615 --> 41:49.255
[SPEAKER_00]: We've mentioned before.
41:49.295 --> 41:51.498
[SPEAKER_00]: We just don't want them to rely on the home room ball.
41:51.738 --> 41:53.460
[SPEAKER_00]: And the series was why.
41:53.520 --> 42:03.590
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is the first time I feel like the entire season we've seen the true Diamondbacks baseball, you know, Toria, this whole season we've been starting by like, oh, we just need to get back to Diamondbacks baseball.
42:04.190 --> 42:06.492
[SPEAKER_00]: And we mentioned, like, what is dynamic space wall at this point?
42:06.592 --> 42:12.036
[SPEAKER_00]: Because dynamic space wall is, you know, striking out, grounding out, you know, inconsistent at bats.
42:12.096 --> 42:14.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, that's what the whole season has been.
42:14.377 --> 42:25.425
[SPEAKER_00]: And so seeing this, seeing them running, seeing them, cause chaos around the bases like with blaze, taking that extra base and having the ball just fall away from them.
42:26.365 --> 42:29.167
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, this was in a really ugly series for the Dodgers.
42:29.227 --> 42:33.810
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the dynamics just played a damn near perfect baseball and the Dodgers had a lot of errors.
42:33.830 --> 42:34.751
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the Keke won.
42:35.251 --> 42:40.074
[SPEAKER_00]: Glass now not covering third base, so he should have been there and been said he was covering home for some reason.
42:40.094 --> 42:43.456
[SPEAKER_00]: A couple of errors in the outfield with Teosker.
42:44.777 --> 42:49.782
[SPEAKER_00]: There's just the Dodgers played a really, really, really sloppy baseball in the Diabex took advantage of that.
42:50.022 --> 42:56.888
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what they need to do, like the need to put pressure on these teams to cause chaos and to cause them to make the plays.
42:56.928 --> 43:01.452
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, the, we're going to get to game three in a second, but they can get in hit.
43:01.472 --> 43:03.034
[SPEAKER_00]: So, what could Tom Arte do?
43:03.054 --> 43:03.554
[SPEAKER_00]: He buntered.
43:04.315 --> 43:09.437
[SPEAKER_00]: People didn't like that, but he was still early on that, you know, it wasn't the ninth inning.
43:10.257 --> 43:19.319
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, but they're playing him way ahead and the need of the guy getting on base and could tell did what he needed to do.
43:19.479 --> 43:21.380
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, that's on a Dodger.
43:21.400 --> 43:24.541
[SPEAKER_00]: So you guys are going to play him like that and expect somebody to do the bun.
43:26.320 --> 43:43.246
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it is nice to see them kind of play their the style of baseball that you know like you've said we're mostly here it was it was the very non-debex ball-esque like after that twenty twenty three run there is articles coming out where teams are like we need to build our teams like these guys like just athletes speed you guys doesn't need to be a bunch of homework and if you guys just make
43:44.226 --> 44:00.722
[SPEAKER_06]: make players sweat because even listen to that mookie best podcasts with the perdomo and he said he's like he's like he has been times out there in short stop where like I'm like what do I like I don't know what to do which fun thing hearing that from a major league or because I know sometimes coaches and little leagues like you don't you know major leagueers knows that they what they're going to do before the ball set sometimes they don't
44:01.342 --> 44:14.539
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes I don't, and we really saw that from the Dodgers, whether they were on offense, like, moving, not being there to tell KK to get down, or even on defense, just being a little bit sloppy, because even Hans Walker and our Tracer saying, just happy to see team playing hard regardless of playoffs.
44:14.979 --> 44:17.022
[SPEAKER_06]: And I do very, because even looking at the Brewer series,
44:18.103 --> 44:20.004
[SPEAKER_06]: Looking back at that game too, that could have been a win.
44:21.345 --> 44:29.369
[SPEAKER_06]: They were down eight to two, and they put together some great app ads, like Brandon said, with Tori signing like building and eating, they built some innings.
44:29.409 --> 44:40.676
[SPEAKER_06]: Didn't know that the rely on too many homeruns in there, like a couple here and there, but it was a lot of like DBX baseball walks, hits, you know, just having really good ABs to where even that series, they split it, but they still play pretty well.
44:40.716 --> 44:45.739
[SPEAKER_06]: Even in game one, wasn't the most beautiful game, I still think they lost by a couple runs,
44:46.880 --> 44:49.021
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, it's been really good baseball.
44:49.041 --> 44:55.345
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they've just been playing their best baseball of the year since the, um, since the trade deadline.
44:55.365 --> 44:57.867
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they've just been, you know, the pressures off there out there.
44:57.887 --> 44:59.348
[SPEAKER_06]: They're just like, hey, you know, let's go play.
44:59.688 --> 45:00.408
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's be spoilers.
45:00.428 --> 45:03.270
[SPEAKER_06]: Let's just play the baseball that we know to, or that we know how to play.
45:03.310 --> 45:05.091
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's kind of what we've been seeing them play.
45:05.651 --> 45:06.712
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been really, really good to see.
45:06.732 --> 45:09.694
[SPEAKER_06]: I like William Harold's comments like Homer's or fascist.
45:11.155 --> 45:12.396
[SPEAKER_06]: I got like a good chocolate in me.
45:13.136 --> 45:16.719
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Scott saying Christian Manimite Retune returned there this month.
45:16.759 --> 45:17.620
[SPEAKER_06]: Could be a spot starter.
45:18.080 --> 45:19.601
[SPEAKER_06]: And we'll have a little bit more on it.
45:19.661 --> 45:20.662
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe the possibility is that.
45:21.222 --> 45:24.685
[SPEAKER_06]: And then even some of the potential roster members that could be happening today.
45:24.705 --> 45:25.606
[SPEAKER_06]: Cause it's a timer first.
45:25.666 --> 45:28.868
[SPEAKER_06]: And we know that that means there's an extra two roster spots.
45:29.649 --> 45:32.511
[SPEAKER_06]: So we'll dive into that in a little bit here after we get in the game three of them.
45:32.531 --> 45:34.813
[SPEAKER_06]: Moving on to the game three, like I said, the divest did win the first two.
45:35.173 --> 45:39.196
[SPEAKER_06]: They came into yesterday's game on Sunday, looking for a sweep of the dodges, which I don't think we've
45:40.057 --> 45:42.900
[SPEAKER_06]: I think we've swept the Dodgers there either last year at some point.
45:43.240 --> 45:46.744
[SPEAKER_06]: It doesn't happen too often, and it would have gotten the D-Bax one right?
45:46.764 --> 45:49.147
[SPEAKER_02]: It was the last time that we swept LA at all.
45:49.723 --> 45:51.344
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it's definitely been a while.
45:51.364 --> 45:55.147
[SPEAKER_06]: So it would be nice to kind of get that that first sweep of the Dodgers since, twenty-eighteen.
45:56.088 --> 45:59.250
[SPEAKER_06]: And they would have gotten right back to five hundred on the season.
45:59.891 --> 46:02.873
[SPEAKER_06]: But things did not get off to a good start there.
46:02.993 --> 46:05.595
[SPEAKER_06]: Our, you know, games wanted to start and pitching was really good.
46:05.635 --> 46:07.036
[SPEAKER_06]: That was not the same case here.
46:07.617 --> 46:09.098
[SPEAKER_06]: As Brandon fought, really struggled on this one.
46:09.118 --> 46:11.380
[SPEAKER_06]: He's kind of had a really rough season here last.
46:11.780 --> 46:14.742
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe he started off the first month and a half two months, he was like our most consistent pitcher.
46:15.183 --> 46:16.544
[SPEAKER_06]: And he's really falling off the face of a clip.
46:16.644 --> 46:17.825
[SPEAKER_06]: And he went four and a third.
46:18.525 --> 46:27.149
[SPEAKER_06]: eight hits, four in runs, only one walk thankfully, five strikeouts, no home runs, surrender day, run the first sitting there, and the dog just kind of kept building on there.
46:28.369 --> 46:31.130
[SPEAKER_06]: Even like any poss, with any posss, it also had a pretty salty here.
46:31.170 --> 46:32.951
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's gave up two runs in the first thing my apologies.
46:33.391 --> 46:37.033
[SPEAKER_06]: So already put in the deep back behind the table, and when you're going up a picture like Yamamoto,
46:37.813 --> 47:00.838
[SPEAKER_06]: it's it's tough man like he's the only other guy like schemes got the the side in lockdown I say all the time of work he's got the the side in lockdown but y'all motors having a really really good season that shouldn't be you know forgotten about me next seven innings for hits uh no walks to hand strikeouts his era is at two eighty two uh and he's fast approaching uh he's already at a hundred and forty six innings with a hundred and sixty seven strikeouts so like
47:02.154 --> 47:12.785
[SPEAKER_06]: Very rare to see the Dodgers have a starting picture they signed that one doesn't just absolutely fall to pieces and have their arm explode, but he is really making that contract kind of look like a steal at this point.
47:13.546 --> 47:15.768
[SPEAKER_06]: So he was kind of showing that in the V-backs, Dodgers got a couple of runs.
47:16.709 --> 47:18.891
[SPEAKER_06]: V-backs did get one there, I believe a Corbin Carroll.
47:19.752 --> 47:20.312
[SPEAKER_06]: Let me find it there.
47:20.352 --> 47:27.974
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, or sorry, Adrian Delcacio cut the lean half made it two to one Dodgers Dodgers got one of those back immediately the next inning and then added on another one.
47:28.354 --> 47:31.735
[SPEAKER_06]: So it was four to one going into the later half of the innings.
47:32.395 --> 47:34.935
[SPEAKER_06]: Debex looked like they're kind of dead facing Tanner Scott.
47:34.975 --> 47:35.996
[SPEAKER_06]: No, he's been rough on the season.
47:36.016 --> 47:37.576
[SPEAKER_06]: Jordan, all their flight out.
47:37.916 --> 47:39.096
[SPEAKER_06]: Illinois Various flight out.
47:39.116 --> 47:40.156
[SPEAKER_06]: So there's two outs and the eighth inning.
47:40.556 --> 47:42.477
[SPEAKER_06]: And that's where the Dbex really did their Dbex ball.
47:43.350 --> 47:50.640
[SPEAKER_06]: Perdomo got a single, could tell Marta, he got a single, and then Corbin Carroll, who did homework against the Tanner Scott the last time we were in LA in a series.
47:50.800 --> 47:54.645
[SPEAKER_06]: If you guys remember that, go ahead to run shot in the X-Rennings, with the D-Vexable Fencing.
47:54.885 --> 47:55.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Exact same pitch.
47:56.487 --> 47:56.908
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
47:56.928 --> 47:58.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Go watch the replay, exact same pitch.
47:58.730 --> 48:08.958
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, foreseen fastball and ninety-seven on our fastball, basically on a fucking T. And Corbin did a lefty on lefty crime with opposite field, three hundred eighty feet, one hundred and three miles an hour for the bat.
48:09.338 --> 48:12.620
[SPEAKER_06]: And it tied the game up four, four on his twenty ninth home run of the season.
48:13.101 --> 48:15.443
[SPEAKER_06]: And the momentum was back, we were all super excited.
48:16.383 --> 48:20.747
[SPEAKER_06]: D-backs were able to shut down the dodging the eighth inning, went to the ninth inning, lock-leared.
48:20.887 --> 48:24.089
[SPEAKER_06]: Once again, didn't look good there, but again, facing Blake Trinin.
48:24.489 --> 48:27.672
[SPEAKER_06]: It's tough, him, Alec, and Jordan Allder went one, two, three.
48:28.942 --> 48:34.465
[SPEAKER_06]: Hopefully they would have gotten the extra things there, but of course, uh, known, debat killer.
48:34.905 --> 48:46.252
[SPEAKER_06]: And one of the more underrated catchers in the league, I mean, this guy's a nine-oh-one OPS Will Smith, not the guy that's famous for slapping Chris Rock, but the catcher got a pinched about there and gone absolutely fucking cookie.
48:46.432 --> 48:48.693
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I know John Curtis has been pretty solid.
48:48.713 --> 48:50.874
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, our bullpen, you will take what we can give from them this year.
48:51.274 --> 48:51.795
[SPEAKER_06]: But that was,
48:52.635 --> 48:58.078
[SPEAKER_06]: Probably one of the worst pitches you could, you know, he said, hey, Tanner Scott, you threw a ninety seven on our cookie.
48:58.358 --> 48:59.999
[SPEAKER_06]: How about I throw a ninety six on our cookie?
49:00.379 --> 49:04.041
[SPEAKER_06]: A fastball would basically write over the plate that Will Smith just absolutely demolished.
49:04.601 --> 49:10.645
[SPEAKER_06]: A four hundred and twenty feet and a hundred nine miles an hour off the bat and the Dodgers do avoid the sweep against the dynamics and they win five for us.
49:10.665 --> 49:13.326
[SPEAKER_06]: So the D-backs once again fail to get to five hundred.
49:13.926 --> 49:20.470
[SPEAKER_06]: But I mean, again, all things considered like Gabe said, the D-backs basically played, I'd say almost perfect the entire series.
49:21.430 --> 49:22.111
[SPEAKER_06]: And again, we're
49:22.771 --> 49:27.897
[SPEAKER_06]: One runaway and one inning away from taking this series, they did spoil that we y'all in mode of start.
49:28.457 --> 49:36.146
[SPEAKER_06]: So while it did kind of end on a sour note there, there was at least a lot of positives that I personally enjoyed obviously that Corbin Corbin or Corbin left you lefty crime.
49:36.726 --> 49:42.533
[SPEAKER_06]: Anytime you can see some of you lefty lefty, especially if you're off one of the more top open pitchers, I know we started on this here, but he's still a really effective lefty.
49:43.473 --> 49:52.376
[SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of what I like to see, but Gabe passing on to you, looking at game three here, obviously, not though it was what we wanted, but there was at least some positive in here that I feel like we can highlight.
49:52.396 --> 49:54.237
[SPEAKER_06]: So I want to pass it to you and let you have the four.
49:55.617 --> 50:07.542
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, I kind of just want to start off on Brandon fought and like to, to coach, get Bayley's the Dodgers, unleashed and unloaded all over Brandon fought.
50:08.222 --> 50:10.643
[SPEAKER_00]: And it was just so bad.
50:10.683 --> 50:10.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
50:11.863 --> 50:16.104
[SPEAKER_00]: This is, you know, we've talked about how this team can't get more than five wins in a row.
50:16.164 --> 50:19.805
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is one of the main reasons why it's just a starting pitch.
50:19.845 --> 50:22.986
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just not been it this season and has been really inconsistent.
50:23.266 --> 50:29.928
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of the main things we wanted to see from them is put together two or three series in a row, whereas there's part of pitch and can do its job.
50:29.968 --> 50:34.369
[SPEAKER_00]: And we said it, they'll have one great series or two great series in a row.
50:34.409 --> 50:37.130
[SPEAKER_00]: And then just completely collapsed in the next one and same with the bullpen.
50:38.170 --> 50:39.892
[SPEAKER_00]: Curtis, I don't think Curtis should have been out there again.
50:39.912 --> 50:43.054
[SPEAKER_00]: He had already thrown about almost twenty pitches in the eighth.
50:43.854 --> 50:45.335
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably should have been solve Frank.
50:46.816 --> 50:53.881
[SPEAKER_00]: I know that he was already warming up and probably was supposed to face Otani, but he has the team has the actual Otani in the first place.
50:53.921 --> 50:55.442
[SPEAKER_00]: They had three guys up there and
50:56.002 --> 50:59.725
[SPEAKER_00]: Soft Franks has shown the ability to get both lefties and righties out.
50:59.825 --> 51:04.308
[SPEAKER_00]: So, everything should be, it should have been anyone else except soft Franks' ending.
51:04.428 --> 51:07.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, you know, you worry about the tense when you get to the tense.
51:07.371 --> 51:08.752
[SPEAKER_00]: And what's the weather time back?
51:08.772 --> 51:14.696
[SPEAKER_00]: So, in playing, you know, moving runners across and finally coming up with the game plan, in extra innings, like they never had before.
51:14.716 --> 51:21.221
[SPEAKER_00]: I do, and I believe it should have been the top of the lineup coming up in the tenth inning as well.
51:21.281 --> 51:23.643
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you would have had Perdomo, Ktel, Corbin again.
51:24.864 --> 51:28.569
[SPEAKER_00]: I should have been tall-frying instead of Curtis, but, you know, it is what it is.
51:28.749 --> 51:31.513
[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, Brennan fought.
51:31.813 --> 51:39.604
[SPEAKER_00]: If this team had more starting pitchers available right now, I think Brennan fought might have been sent down to Reno at some point, or at least shut down for the rest of the same view.
51:39.624 --> 51:40.124
[SPEAKER_00]: See yous just.
51:40.865 --> 51:59.925
[SPEAKER_00]: It has been way too inconsistent and even with the erotic hasn't had these flashes of brilliance really this whole season knowing he's kind of just has been consistently five endings two or three or four runs and that's who brainfight has been this season, but seeing the Corbin left him left it hitting the exact same pitch all the time of the sky like
52:01.193 --> 52:05.997
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just seeing time of Scott really well, having him to be able to put up such a clutch hit.
52:06.898 --> 52:24.714
[SPEAKER_00]: I know the Dodgers won this game, but I do think this is definitely a series and even a game that this team that the Dodgers are gonna focus on for the rest of the season, you know, trying to fix whatever mistakes that they have because, you know, the other teams are watching these games.
52:25.094 --> 52:27.155
[SPEAKER_00]: Other teams are seeing the way the time backs are pitching them.
52:27.316 --> 52:33.620
[SPEAKER_00]: They're watching the way the time backs are taking their backs against them and going forward, you know, kind of gets the word is out.
52:33.640 --> 52:37.402
[SPEAKER_00]: The Dodgers are vulnerable and other teams are going to take advantage of that going forward.
52:39.071 --> 52:58.365
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, they're it's really fun to see the difference because I know there's some articles after the World Series last year where Dodger players were saying that like yeah, the Yankees are a terrible defensive team and like the they just do things differently or the Dodger do things differently that the Yankees don't it seems like they just don't do that anymore maybe that they're getting complacent as the word but they're definitely not as
53:00.486 --> 53:02.768
[SPEAKER_06]: sharp as they were usually like even last year.
53:02.808 --> 53:06.130
[SPEAKER_06]: These were some mistakes that they made last year or mistakes this year.
53:06.170 --> 53:07.051
[SPEAKER_06]: They're making that last year.
53:07.071 --> 53:08.772
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think they make like you know last year.
53:08.792 --> 53:11.334
[SPEAKER_06]: I think you would have seen either move your whoever it is.
53:12.415 --> 53:18.239
[SPEAKER_06]: Guiding, guiding kick it to make the diving play like you know maybe they're third based when maybe months season that they're based in that position.
53:18.700 --> 53:25.044
[SPEAKER_06]: And so trying to go for the tag maybe he gets his body in front of the ball so it doesn't let Blaise Alexander be able to score from third after tag now from second.
53:25.084 --> 53:25.344
[SPEAKER_06]: So like
53:26.265 --> 53:54.972
[SPEAKER_06]: Definitely I do agree a lot of teams are gonna be kind of, you know, watching it on these games and realizing like oh, there is a game plan that we can use to take the Dodgers down and especially if they're both in pitches like this like it's it's nine-day difference between the the top two teams the NOS like the podries have a little bit of an inconsistent I know the Dodgers offensive and consistently too, but like the podgers both in is borderline lights out one of the best in the league where the Dodgers I know we were all upset that we couldn't get Kirby gates, but at the the moment not like in like the worst decisions got like
53:56.452 --> 53:59.816
[SPEAKER_00]: I was not excited about the Kirby the thirty eight year old Kirby eight decision.
54:00.616 --> 54:11.827
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, so it's definitely been a been rough for I know we're I guess we're all upset about the Taylor Scott, but he has been like I literally see Dodger fans calling him a terrorist Because of how bad he's been this season.
54:12.348 --> 54:16.812
[SPEAKER_06]: So they have they've definitely had a lot of weak points in their both ends been a big one, but Brandon setting it on to you
54:18.193 --> 54:31.301
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there anything that you wanted to or what did you kind of want to point out here in a game three whether it's like you're kind of adding on to the the fought chronicles who have been Scott Max saying in the chat here he has a seven point six or seven point oh six rode a array and a five thirty three.
54:31.321 --> 54:32.021
[SPEAKER_06]: It's higher than that.
54:33.502 --> 54:36.323
[SPEAKER_02]: at seven point one three but like good Lord.
54:36.784 --> 54:51.470
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, say anything you want to do a highlight here in game three obviously I know there's a little bit of a bad but I do grew with even like Gabe said that I think that this is while it was a loss I think it was a big a still a big momentum swing and something that he'd used to build on here going into the final month of the season.
54:52.251 --> 54:54.852
[SPEAKER_02]: His home and away splits just below my mind.
54:55.642 --> 54:57.864
[SPEAKER_02]: It is absolutely ridiculous.
54:59.125 --> 55:03.549
[SPEAKER_02]: So his home, he's eight and three at home, he's four and five on the road.
55:04.269 --> 55:07.712
[SPEAKER_02]: His home here is three point six, a way is seven point one three.
55:09.231 --> 55:09.951
[SPEAKER_02]: He's given up.
55:10.852 --> 55:12.953
[SPEAKER_02]: Nineteen home runs on the road.
55:13.453 --> 55:14.214
[SPEAKER_02]: Only three at all.
55:15.134 --> 55:17.816
[SPEAKER_02]: So are we talking about, was it?
55:18.136 --> 55:22.759
[SPEAKER_02]: Twenty two, twenty three, Ryan Nelson, where like he could not pitch at home at all.
55:23.639 --> 55:26.341
[SPEAKER_02]: And when we were thinking, was it the batter's eye?
55:26.361 --> 55:28.302
[SPEAKER_02]: People just picked up his pitches better.
55:28.802 --> 55:36.507
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, the thought is, like, I think he's, he's going so much pitch to contact.
55:37.463 --> 55:45.276
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's my biggest concern with him is his inability to get guys to chase or just swing it all.
55:48.498 --> 56:09.968
[SPEAKER_02]: he like against the brewer's like he like he didn't always cut her at all and then in this start he threw his cutter a decent amount so like what is the game plan and according to the broadcast yesterday basically toy said that thought looks like just angry at everybody since his last start because he holds himself to a high standard
56:11.119 --> 56:13.621
[SPEAKER_02]: But he just he knows that he's better than this.
56:13.921 --> 56:17.264
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm thinking then why don't you pitch better than that?
56:17.604 --> 56:20.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Like because this is not a one or two start thing.
56:21.407 --> 56:24.289
[SPEAKER_02]: This has been an issue since like middle of me.
56:25.070 --> 56:30.273
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he just has not been very good, but we don't have any other options.
56:31.775 --> 56:36.218
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I love Daniel Egan.
56:37.613 --> 56:38.353
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not his way off.
56:38.833 --> 56:39.294
[SPEAKER_06]: He's way off.
56:39.334 --> 56:43.475
[SPEAKER_02]: He's not going to bring things like him to burr like Homer fan.
56:44.396 --> 56:47.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he starts next year, but that's just being like.
56:48.257 --> 56:54.299
[SPEAKER_02]: That'd be so cool because he's absolutely dominate like he dominated and they finally brought them up to double lane.
56:54.339 --> 56:56.700
[SPEAKER_02]: It's first time you just absolutely shreds.
56:57.641 --> 56:59.921
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, far is.
57:01.571 --> 57:03.973
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we just need this season to be done.
57:04.134 --> 57:05.915
[SPEAKER_02]: He just needs a fresh start to next season.
57:06.496 --> 57:10.219
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want to hear anybody talking about his extension was a mistake.
57:11.581 --> 57:14.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't just don't like, okay, he had one bad year.
57:16.725 --> 57:19.628
[SPEAKER_02]: But people were talking how he wasn't a good starting pitcher.
57:20.752 --> 57:22.976
[SPEAKER_02]: When he first debuted, I was one of them, by the way.
57:24.318 --> 57:27.323
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought he was a borderline five six.
57:27.624 --> 57:32.933
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just, I hope whatever the issue is that he figures it out for next season.
57:34.228 --> 57:42.912
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, like a Oscar, maybe maybe Oscar's on something we'll have to have our, uh, a residence or a residence or a video guy gave.
57:43.132 --> 57:50.435
[SPEAKER_06]: So I don't gave likes to look back at, you know, highlights and whatnot, or, uh, some tape and, and diagnose and stuff, but Oscar saying, I don't know if it's just me.
57:50.915 --> 57:54.197
[SPEAKER_06]: I've looked back, but it seems like he moved away from pitching from the first base side of the rubber.
57:55.377 --> 57:56.658
[SPEAKER_06]: And you know that that could be it.
57:56.738 --> 58:15.704
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's just also I think he just I think some days he just has a location some days he doesn't I think Again, and maybe what they'll also look at who's calling his games because I believe it's usually I think for a long while there it was hosting her rare calling all of his games And I don't think I think a Gabby was off in this game.
58:15.744 --> 58:18.605
[SPEAKER_06]: So I think it was a James McHan here on Sunday.
58:18.625 --> 58:19.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
58:19.365 --> 58:19.665
[SPEAKER_02]: It was ADC
58:20.435 --> 58:21.475
[SPEAKER_06]: It was, oh, ADC, okay.
58:21.495 --> 58:22.856
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe maybe that leads into it.
58:22.876 --> 58:26.777
[SPEAKER_06]: Like we all know that he's not like the best defensive catcher.
58:26.797 --> 58:29.538
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe he doesn't have that repertoire to really knows that they were pitchers need to go yet.
58:29.858 --> 58:32.459
[SPEAKER_06]: But the Dodgers also do seem to kind of like hit fought around a little bit.
58:32.539 --> 58:34.240
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like his ERA against them.
58:34.280 --> 58:35.580
[SPEAKER_06]: They just handled him well.
58:36.041 --> 58:39.262
[SPEAKER_06]: I think they just have so many hitters that can kind of lay off some stuff outside of his own.
58:39.282 --> 58:40.942
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't really do much chasing.
58:40.962 --> 58:44.143
[SPEAKER_06]: They don't really seem like a team that's strikeouts like strikes out too much.
58:44.183 --> 58:45.244
[SPEAKER_06]: Like I don't even think the D-backs had.
58:46.284 --> 58:51.167
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, like over fifteen strikeouts in the entire series, I could be wrong, but just kind of quick glancing of the numbers.
58:52.048 --> 58:53.489
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe maybe that's the thing.
58:53.749 --> 59:00.433
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not entirely sure, but I mean, I do know that the the contracts is I don't think it's going to be an issue.
59:00.473 --> 59:08.779
[SPEAKER_06]: Like again, I think they need to to lock down Ryan Nelson and give him a, maybe not that Micah Parsons money newest premium impact.
59:09.479 --> 59:10.440
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, sorry, how to fit that in there.
59:11.860 --> 59:18.423
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think he'll be getting that kind of money, but definitely need to lock down Ryan Nelson and give him the same kind of contract with how he's been pitching this year.
59:19.344 --> 59:20.684
[SPEAKER_06]: But I do think I do grew with Brandon.
59:21.525 --> 59:23.066
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's just a one-off kind of thing.
59:23.766 --> 59:26.067
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't think we need to be sounding in the alarm bells yet.
59:26.727 --> 59:32.590
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my god, they overpaid, because even that contract is still a pretty good steal to where it's not like it's a contract that's unmovable.
59:32.630 --> 59:33.850
[SPEAKER_06]: It's not like no teams.
59:34.211 --> 59:38.953
[SPEAKER_06]: We're like, ooh, you know, we can't block it or we can't go for that thing if they ever did think about training him.
59:39.993 --> 59:41.455
[SPEAKER_06]: But I don't think we had the worry about that in general.
59:41.855 --> 59:43.596
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that he'll be just why I'm going forward.
59:43.636 --> 01:00:00.409
[SPEAKER_06]: There's needs to... Whether it's the catching from a certain side of the rubber or not, you know, I think there's... There's something that they can fix about it and they'll unlock that spot that we saw in the twenty twenty three postseason and kind of the the spot that we saw and the one that the team saw, which made them confident enough to give him that contract.
01:00:00.469 --> 01:00:09.116
[SPEAKER_06]: But anything that you guys else wanted to talk about in this series here before we dive into the... Some of the names that we have for the September first callups, potentially?
01:00:11.655 --> 01:00:13.616
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright, well, anything ready?
01:00:14.456 --> 01:00:17.838
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I was just gonna say Blaze had a really, really good month of August.
01:00:17.898 --> 01:00:22.619
[SPEAKER_02]: The two, sixty-five, two, sixty-five, five, five, five, five with a nine-old one, oh, yes.
01:00:23.140 --> 01:00:26.401
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven homers, fifteen runs, driven in with a one, forty-nine, WRC plus.
01:00:26.681 --> 01:00:28.282
[SPEAKER_02]: So, really, really good month.
01:00:29.522 --> 01:00:31.923
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what happens when you get to play every day.
01:00:32.547 --> 01:00:34.388
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, what a shock or blazing hot.
01:00:34.448 --> 01:00:42.670
[SPEAKER_06]: But every September first, it is always a fun time because whether you're a playoff team or not, rosters do expand.
01:00:42.730 --> 01:00:44.671
[SPEAKER_06]: Every team does get an additional roster spot.
01:00:45.171 --> 01:00:47.952
[SPEAKER_06]: And now there's going to be, sorry, two additional roster spots.
01:00:48.492 --> 01:00:50.673
[SPEAKER_06]: I say one additional, because we already know who one of them is going to be.
01:00:50.773 --> 01:00:54.614
[SPEAKER_06]: It's most likely going to be that one of those spots is going to be Ryan Thompson.
01:00:54.734 --> 01:00:56.155
[SPEAKER_06]: Obviously the divax need more bullpen arms.
01:00:56.995 --> 01:01:00.296
[SPEAKER_06]: He was doing a rehab assignment in Reno and looks like he's probably going to be called up.
01:01:00.756 --> 01:01:05.378
[SPEAKER_06]: But that leaves a one more spot for a couple of different names and I'm going to pull up
01:01:05.958 --> 01:01:07.079
[SPEAKER_06]: our boy nugget here.
01:01:08.620 --> 01:01:14.123
[SPEAKER_06]: And his Twitter account, the Dimash Prospect account, he did have a couple of names that he wanted to, or that he highlighted.
01:01:14.143 --> 01:01:19.907
[SPEAKER_06]: He said tomorrow, the DBX Russell will hold two Russian spots with one of them likely to be Ryan Thompson, which would fill all the pitching spots.
01:01:20.327 --> 01:01:24.410
[SPEAKER_06]: Here are some potential options for the ACEs, or with the ACEs for the second spot.
01:01:24.873 --> 01:01:29.317
[SPEAKER_06]: Jorge Barosa, person that I want to see Barosa, I don't think we really have much need for him.
01:01:29.777 --> 01:01:31.819
[SPEAKER_06]: I've Melendez, Spanish Titanic, that'd be a fun one.
01:01:32.580 --> 01:01:39.085
[SPEAKER_06]: Matt Mervis, AJ Vukiewicz, and then even Tommy Troy, and then another name that he even did say in a reply tweet.
01:01:39.706 --> 01:01:45.971
[SPEAKER_06]: Someone was asking him what about, like, you know, K-Rob, and he said, I think K-Rob is also an option, but I think Vukiewicz having more time arena and holding his own game in the edge.
01:01:46.832 --> 01:01:52.137
[SPEAKER_06]: So out of those names, personally, I would love to see their K-Rob or Ivan, especially with our issues at first base.
01:01:53.238 --> 01:01:55.860
[SPEAKER_06]: in a lock there, maybe they send down lock there, maybe they bring up Ivan.
01:01:56.981 --> 01:02:05.487
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, the outfield's kind of full, but I know K Rob was going to be a rule five eligible, or if he's down in the forty man, I believe at some point, then some other teams can take him.
01:02:05.547 --> 01:02:09.570
[SPEAKER_06]: I know he was in the rule five this last year, but nobody took him, which I'm surprised.
01:02:10.451 --> 01:02:12.892
[SPEAKER_06]: So maybe they bring them up there just to kind of avoid that happening.
01:02:13.572 --> 01:02:18.235
[SPEAKER_06]: But I would kind of enjoy to see either him or Melinda's, but that's my personal opinion.
01:02:18.255 --> 01:02:21.276
[SPEAKER_06]: I would love to see some Hispanics, Titanic tanks in the desert.
01:02:22.196 --> 01:02:27.019
[SPEAKER_06]: But I could see them definitely going with either a vukovitch or even Tommy Troy, who is employing really solid.
01:02:27.039 --> 01:02:32.361
[SPEAKER_06]: They've even been kind of giving in some time in the outfields, so they maybe need to make some moves with some outfit.
01:02:32.381 --> 01:02:32.901
[SPEAKER_06]: There's one on it.
01:02:33.242 --> 01:02:36.963
[SPEAKER_06]: Have an extra guy out there because you can never have too many players in most positions.
01:02:37.583 --> 01:02:38.044
[SPEAKER_06]: I could see that.
01:02:38.764 --> 01:02:41.510
[SPEAKER_06]: off those names in the list, maybe there's one other name that we're not thinking about.
01:02:42.091 --> 01:02:49.988
[SPEAKER_06]: What are some names that you could see filling in that final roster spot now that we're in to September, which we should have some news on it in the next few hours, I believe.
01:02:51.312 --> 01:02:52.712
[SPEAKER_00]: For me, it's probably going to be in Melendez.
01:02:52.792 --> 01:02:56.473
[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably going to be Ryan Tom's taking the first spot, but I am Melendez.
01:02:56.653 --> 01:03:05.194
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we need a first baseman, a good consistent first baseman, and it has a scene that's not going to play ADC there, which is a scene that's not going to play ADC there, which is a scene that's not going to play Rodgers there.
01:03:05.214 --> 01:03:08.115
[SPEAKER_00]: They need to at least try Melendez out and see what it looks like at the Major League level.
01:03:08.215 --> 01:03:12.956
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been with this team for a few years now, and it's kind of an hour never for him.
01:03:13.556 --> 01:03:15.436
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not that young compared to a lot of the guys.
01:03:15.476 --> 01:03:17.657
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he was taken as a senior.
01:03:17.677 --> 01:03:19.737
[SPEAKER_00]: I just got to confirm that real quick.
01:03:20.837 --> 01:03:45.344
[SPEAKER_00]: guys like I even you know you can't leave him in the matters league you know forever I mean you guys twenty five years old he turns twenty six next season so it is a now you know now we're never saying he's used uh he I mean he's been crushing balls at every step of the way the only problem has been just the fact that he strikes out so much he would you consistently would have about like a third percent
01:03:46.064 --> 01:03:50.365
[SPEAKER_00]: strike out right at every part of the major leagues.
01:03:51.266 --> 01:03:52.506
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think it should be him.
01:03:53.106 --> 01:04:06.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, just to see what you have from him, he is a first baseman, but this team is kind of hinted about the fact that he's probably going to be more with DH type of guy rather than just a first baseman, but we need a first baseman in the future because
01:04:08.171 --> 01:04:09.231
[SPEAKER_00]: Locklears, not it.
01:04:09.371 --> 01:04:10.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Payment is not it.
01:04:10.292 --> 01:04:11.232
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's kind of it.
01:04:12.092 --> 01:04:15.074
[SPEAKER_00]: The second, you know, the third guy is item Melendez.
01:04:15.694 --> 01:04:28.839
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's not the best, best defender at at first base, but maybe having him up and working with the Major League guys will help his defense out, so he can produce at the Major League, or can play good defense at the Major League level.
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:37.242
[SPEAKER_00]: And because yeah, after that, this is really not much else at first base on this of they draft a first base in this upcoming drafts.
01:04:37.282 --> 01:04:37.502
[SPEAKER_00]: And then
01:04:38.222 --> 01:04:41.646
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe there's a future for space in there, but for the most, what this team needs to figure it out.
01:04:42.247 --> 01:04:54.822
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they're kind of just out of it, I don't think they're technically out of it yet, but, I don't know, being two games out of five hundred and five and a half games back with twenty four or so to go.
01:04:55.562 --> 01:05:01.587
[SPEAKER_00]: doesn't give you too much hope that this team is going to be in the playoffs.
01:05:01.607 --> 01:05:10.815
[SPEAKER_00]: So might as well bring up some of these young guys like Ivan see what you have if you produce is that to make you level the season you could have your solution to first base resolved right away.
01:05:12.472 --> 01:05:18.234
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, I think I think that's the more hopeful spot, but I feel like they might play it safe and go with like the hook of it.
01:05:18.474 --> 01:05:19.674
[SPEAKER_06]: I just know Burrosa, man.
01:05:19.955 --> 01:05:20.395
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm sorry.
01:05:20.935 --> 01:05:26.437
[SPEAKER_06]: I know it's not the biggest runaway he's been given either, but I just don't see too much in Burrosa.
01:05:26.457 --> 01:05:29.498
[SPEAKER_06]: He is basically Jose Herrera, but in the outfield, a little bit shorter.
01:05:29.518 --> 01:05:37.781
[SPEAKER_06]: So I'd rather give some guys that we haven't seen yet, especially in the position like first base that we do need to kind of figure out our solution soon.
01:05:38.681 --> 01:05:41.044
[SPEAKER_06]: I wouldn't be upset with them giving that, but also K-Rop again.
01:05:41.505 --> 01:05:45.851
[SPEAKER_06]: One of our former top prospects was delayed a little bit because of the whole legal issues he had for a while there.
01:05:46.312 --> 01:05:53.321
[SPEAKER_06]: I would love to see him get a shot and you know, kind of show people why he was one of our former top prospects.
01:05:53.882 --> 01:06:09.335
[SPEAKER_06]: And I don't want to see him get poached by another team and then make the opening day roster for like the A's or like the raise with the marlins and people look back and they're like wow they were the this guy was just sitting there and the miners and he was available like I want to avoid that and I'd like to see him up there, but you know there's definitely a lot of options they could go with
01:06:09.935 --> 01:06:16.338
[SPEAKER_06]: Passing it on to you, Brandon, looking at all the list of names, maybe even if you're looking at the Reno roster or who knows, maybe it's a prizes, maybe they go with somebody from Dublin.
01:06:16.738 --> 01:06:27.282
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a name down the miners that you are more interested in them calling here on September first to be like, you know what, come on up to the Major League squad whether for you Major League debut or for your second and third time around.
01:06:27.322 --> 01:06:29.623
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there a name that you kind of have on your board personally?
01:06:30.778 --> 01:06:33.720
[SPEAKER_02]: So before I do that, I want to address Scott's question.
01:06:33.820 --> 01:06:35.201
[SPEAKER_02]: Control, I play first base.
01:06:35.781 --> 01:06:36.842
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you want to?
01:06:36.942 --> 01:06:43.126
[SPEAKER_02]: He's way too much speed to play a position that's not going to require that speed.
01:06:43.246 --> 01:06:49.069
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he is a short stop, second, third, and outfielder.
01:06:49.389 --> 01:06:52.111
[SPEAKER_02]: He's too athletic to play that position.
01:06:52.431 --> 01:06:53.372
[SPEAKER_00]: He's also five, ten.
01:06:53.412 --> 01:06:55.453
[SPEAKER_00]: So it would be a little bit harder for him to play that.
01:06:57.314 --> 01:07:04.564
[SPEAKER_02]: My only thing with a lot of these people that he lists that nugget listed, I'm pretty sure they have to be on the forty man.
01:07:05.165 --> 01:07:09.231
[SPEAKER_02]: Only one of them is currently on the forty man and that's Jorge Barosa.
01:07:09.671 --> 01:07:13.657
[SPEAKER_02]: So they would have to make some adjustments to the forty man, which I am
01:07:14.638 --> 01:07:17.420
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm all four, like make those adjustments.
01:07:18.161 --> 01:07:26.206
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it needs to be my pick out of this is AJ Vookovich because he has played first in the past and he can play out field.
01:07:26.607 --> 01:07:34.032
[SPEAKER_02]: So we can kind of get our bases covered there because I think I know me personally, I'm done with Jake McCarty.
01:07:34.492 --> 01:07:36.214
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I am absolutely done with Jake McCarty.
01:07:37.274 --> 01:07:38.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I get his fast.
01:07:39.076 --> 01:07:40.697
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty much all he can do at this point.
01:07:41.217 --> 01:07:42.178
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I know that he's
01:07:43.253 --> 01:07:48.578
[SPEAKER_02]: Hit better the last month, but I'm like, when you're at six feet under, there's only one way to go.
01:07:49.358 --> 01:07:50.980
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and that's to go up.
01:07:51.120 --> 01:07:54.843
[SPEAKER_02]: So, for me, it would probably be AJ Vukovich.
01:07:54.983 --> 01:07:57.005
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to see Tommy Troy have
01:07:59.187 --> 01:08:20.681
[SPEAKER_02]: Tommy Troy basically start in center against left handed pitching or do what the rumor is is that that's what they're going to do with place is that have lawly played their base and then blaze will be in center field because they did have them play a little bit in center field when he was down in Reno earlier this year.
01:08:21.622 --> 01:08:21.762
[SPEAKER_02]: So
01:08:23.423 --> 01:08:24.645
[SPEAKER_02]: That's my personal.
01:08:25.967 --> 01:08:29.891
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they're going to bring up Ivan Melendez Matt Mervis.
01:08:29.931 --> 01:08:32.855
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's been down there just not enough.
01:08:34.577 --> 01:08:38.102
[SPEAKER_02]: But to be honest, because Jorge Boroughs is already on the forty man.
01:08:39.582 --> 01:08:57.094
[SPEAKER_02]: I bet they do Jorge, and then we're all just going to be like, yeah, but I would love to be surprised, because I didn't think they were going to bring up Lollar when putting up Haven on the IL because I'm like, we need another first spaceman.
01:08:57.194 --> 01:08:58.355
[SPEAKER_02]: Lollar doesn't play a first space.
01:08:59.214 --> 01:09:00.995
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so I'm a shot by that.
01:09:01.115 --> 01:09:02.955
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe let it today.
01:09:03.015 --> 01:09:04.556
[SPEAKER_02]: They'll shock me by whoever.
01:09:05.436 --> 01:09:11.198
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, they plan to bring up to make it, uh, twenty eight.
01:09:13.158 --> 01:09:15.379
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's would be weird if it was still forty.
01:09:15.719 --> 01:09:18.940
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you imagine the amount of just new guys on the team?
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:21.281
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, because that's what that's what it used to be.
01:09:21.341 --> 01:09:22.181
[SPEAKER_02]: September used to be.
01:09:23.081 --> 01:09:24.782
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're on the forty man, you were brought up.
01:09:27.021 --> 01:09:35.865
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, say, we don't have the same rosters where it was borderline spring training, just in September where you have like ten young guys brought up and it's like, okay, now nobody gets flying time.
01:09:35.885 --> 01:09:38.106
[SPEAKER_06]: But it'll definitely be interesting.
01:09:38.146 --> 01:09:45.749
[SPEAKER_06]: I know no matter what move is made, I know the device Twitter, we can rely and then to somebody that will have some overreaction, somebody will be upset.
01:09:46.310 --> 01:09:47.550
[SPEAKER_06]: Whether it's us, whether it's somebody else.
01:09:49.531 --> 01:09:53.494
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't know, but there's definitely some interesting names, so it'll be, it'll be fun to see here in the next few hours.
01:09:53.514 --> 01:09:59.778
[SPEAKER_06]: So I imagine the move has already been made and whoever it is is already on their way to Arizona because again, they play in what like seven hours.
01:10:00.678 --> 01:10:01.879
[SPEAKER_06]: So I imagine the move has already been made.
01:10:01.919 --> 01:10:08.083
[SPEAKER_06]: They're just waiting for the actual, like, official, you know, official transaction to be made and post and whatnot.
01:10:08.443 --> 01:10:13.367
[SPEAKER_06]: So hopefully, maybe in who knows, maybe happens right before we end here, right when we end here, and that'd be kind of fun.
01:10:14.965 --> 01:10:16.486
[SPEAKER_06]: going into our next series here.
01:10:17.266 --> 01:10:21.028
[SPEAKER_06]: We do get to face the Texas Rangers second time this year.
01:10:22.149 --> 01:10:27.852
[SPEAKER_06]: The the pitching matchup is mostly set except for game one or game two there for the Rangers.
01:10:27.892 --> 01:10:30.654
[SPEAKER_06]: So game one is going to be nationally our best pitcher this season.
01:10:31.554 --> 01:10:33.876
[SPEAKER_06]: Seven and three with the three five three are going up against
01:10:35.376 --> 01:10:39.738
[SPEAKER_06]: MAGA Corbin, who's seven and nine with the fourth through ERA, game two, and the Bill Kurzman.
01:10:39.978 --> 01:10:41.758
[SPEAKER_06]: It's been pretty solid as a spot to start here for us.
01:10:42.619 --> 01:10:46.060
[SPEAKER_06]: He is two-note with a one-eight-four ERA going up against two-be decided.
01:10:46.500 --> 01:10:50.501
[SPEAKER_06]: Who knows, maybe Merrill Kelly, maybe we could see Merrill back in the desert, it would be very hard breaking to see him again.
01:10:50.541 --> 01:10:52.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Just pitched on Saturday, so it's probably unlikely.
01:10:53.390 --> 01:10:55.472
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, that would break my heart to see him again.
01:10:56.193 --> 01:10:58.314
[SPEAKER_06]: So the Rangers don't have a set starter there.
01:10:58.375 --> 01:11:02.058
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that would have been a Yavaldi spot, but I believe he is out for the season now.
01:11:02.778 --> 01:11:07.883
[SPEAKER_06]: And then Zai Galen is who is ten and three on the season, which crazy is ten wins with how rough he's been.
01:11:08.343 --> 01:11:10.505
[SPEAKER_06]: The one picture that seemed like the offense really shows out for.
01:11:11.146 --> 01:11:14.709
[SPEAKER_06]: He is ten and thirteen with a four nine four year A, going up against a form.
01:11:15.830 --> 01:11:16.611
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, I'll thank you, man.
01:11:16.931 --> 01:11:17.892
[SPEAKER_06]: Improvements are improvements.
01:11:18.673 --> 01:11:25.200
[SPEAKER_06]: Going up against a former first round pick, Jack Lider, Vanderbilt Star, who's nine and seven with a three, seven, seven year array.
01:11:25.240 --> 01:11:30.085
[SPEAKER_06]: So he's actually been having pretty solid, solid year there for him, but we can get the pitching matchups.
01:11:30.305 --> 01:11:36.332
[SPEAKER_06]: And then I know once we get the confirmation on who we have being called up,
01:11:36.852 --> 01:11:38.575
[SPEAKER_06]: Was there any, maybe predictions you might have?
01:11:38.976 --> 01:11:43.162
[SPEAKER_06]: I know Gabriel, you're talking about letting a Patrick Corbin at an early-ending lawlet-facing against Patrick Corbin, maybe that's one.
01:11:43.642 --> 01:11:51.834
[SPEAKER_06]: Is there any other names that you had that you want to see, maybe predictions for those, or just some certain matchups that you're going to be having your eye on going into this next game?
01:11:52.115 --> 01:11:52.756
[SPEAKER_06]: Or is this next series?
01:11:53.935 --> 01:12:15.699
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... from his predominant he was absolutely terrible in this not your series yet one hit i believe before he had that he was like over eighteen or something like that dating back to the bro or series so he just was not very good in the dodger series i mean he wasn't striking out anything he was just but he was going to be all in play but it was a lot of some contact love uh... balls hit two to the infield or so
01:12:16.299 --> 01:12:18.381
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see Perdona break out of that slam.
01:12:18.401 --> 01:12:22.604
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got another one who's just the way the Dodge was pitching him or he's finally pulling off.
01:12:22.664 --> 01:12:27.767
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm hoping that it was just the Dodge is just pitching him very well as opposed to him.
01:12:28.308 --> 01:12:34.032
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool enough for the rest of the month because you need him to produce, especially from that lead off for a second spot.
01:12:34.172 --> 01:12:41.497
[SPEAKER_00]: He needs to be producing there, especially if you want a hotel to produce, if you want a corporate to produce, you need him to be able to set the tone for this team.
01:12:42.398 --> 01:13:04.596
[SPEAKER_00]: you know we shouldn't happen before it can be very mental if you guys struggles as you know that battle for twenty over twenty five it does affect our defense as time goes on so hopefully he's able to break out of that that many slump and hit a lot better against taxes I mean he's gonna have an opportunity against guys like Corbin and I believe it's all TBDs after that or I guess a lighter
01:13:05.951 --> 01:13:10.313
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, not the best guys in the world, so you should be able to break out of that slump.
01:13:10.713 --> 01:13:21.237
[SPEAKER_00]: And the main thing I just want to see is see the D-backs take a suite because if they just wouldn't series, they're still under five hundred, which is one of the biggest scribes we've had all season is just.
01:13:21.757 --> 01:13:42.068
[SPEAKER_00]: where you're not sweeping, you don't really gain much ground and right now they sweep, they go over five hundred, they'd be a game, they'd be seventy-one and seventy, and they're facing you on a relatively tough opponent, but so are the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz, the Metz,
01:13:43.388 --> 01:13:49.333
[SPEAKER_00]: You know the marlins or something like that enough facing or I also did enough facing the Rockies, but they lost the series against the Rockies.
01:13:49.374 --> 01:14:00.984
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, it's not it's not like anybody else at the top of that that little wildcard area, you know, nobody is facing off against it truly bad team.
01:14:01.044 --> 01:14:05.427
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but this is the time backs opportunity to at least make up some ground.
01:14:06.088 --> 01:14:08.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't expect him to really make the
01:14:08.490 --> 01:14:20.099
[SPEAKER_00]: Playoffs anymore, but again, like we said, you don't want to be eliminated in September first, and you want to lose, get to the third week or less with your September, and at least have a little bit of hope that you're right there.
01:14:21.380 --> 01:14:30.347
[SPEAKER_06]: Even if they do, like you've confirmed eliminated in the last week, I know said in the past shows, those last nine games, oh man, please play your best baseball, be spoilers.
01:14:30.888 --> 01:14:36.852
[SPEAKER_06]: Decide who's going to be number two, number three, because we already, I think we already know that the brewers are probably going to lock down the number one seed.
01:14:37.953 --> 01:14:42.474
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, let me decide who's going to be seeds two through like two through four.
01:14:43.055 --> 01:14:45.955
[SPEAKER_06]: Decide who's going to be like be the deciding factor on who's going to win the West.
01:14:46.015 --> 01:14:55.558
[SPEAKER_06]: I could you imagine like we flew to Dodgers and then we sweep the Padres were both those teams or just pissed the fuck off at us and like we spoil one of them from being the the Western champions.
01:14:55.998 --> 01:15:02.860
[SPEAKER_06]: I still I hate the ringless bombs out there, but I was still enjoying seeing the podgers win the division just because anybody with a dodge winning it.
01:15:03.821 --> 01:15:17.281
[SPEAKER_06]: But it would be nice to see them being the deciding factor and then be the reason why you know some team got the season spoiled or some team got their their hearts broken before the playoffs even began but I do be it's a pretty good baseball give us something excited to be about here in the final month because
01:15:18.062 --> 01:15:30.567
[SPEAKER_06]: There's not too much else, and I know I've said before, the playoffs would be cool, but I would be absolutely terrified to see this bullpen in a playoff series, and my heart would probably, it'd be worse and more painful to watch that.
01:15:30.627 --> 01:15:34.629
[SPEAKER_06]: But Brandon, looking at this series here, then maybe some matchups that you have, maybe even depending on the call-ups.
01:15:35.229 --> 01:15:39.871
[SPEAKER_06]: What are maybe some predictions you might have or some matchups that you're gonna be keeping your eye on going to this text-range or series?
01:15:40.831 --> 01:15:42.992
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't know how long it gets his first hate this season.
01:15:44.692 --> 01:15:51.537
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he starts tonight because it is a left handed picture.
01:15:51.957 --> 01:15:54.359
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he does get a hit in this series.
01:15:54.939 --> 01:15:56.540
[SPEAKER_01]: I've got to hope so.
01:15:57.240 --> 01:16:01.623
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not then I don't like the fan.
01:16:02.224 --> 01:16:12.130
[SPEAKER_02]: The vocal fan base on Twitter and Instagram will be like, he's a bust, get rid of them, send them back down to Reno because that is going to make him a better player.
01:16:13.451 --> 01:16:17.014
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen that he absolutely destroys pitching in the PCL.
01:16:17.194 --> 01:16:20.737
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's not going to help him develop.
01:16:21.078 --> 01:16:22.098
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to be up here.
01:16:22.138 --> 01:16:24.320
[SPEAKER_02]: He needs to see Major League pitching.
01:16:24.541 --> 01:16:24.701
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
01:16:25.701 --> 01:16:31.446
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I have playoffs for me.
01:16:32.207 --> 01:16:39.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, every time that I think that they're done, they'll go on this three or four game one streak and then they suck me back in.
01:16:40.074 --> 01:16:41.395
[SPEAKER_02]: We have twenty seven games.
01:16:43.014 --> 01:16:43.314
[SPEAKER_02]: Pause?
01:16:44.315 --> 01:16:44.596
[SPEAKER_02]: Pause?
01:16:45.056 --> 01:16:46.197
[SPEAKER_02]: That was not intentional.
01:16:47.258 --> 01:16:49.160
[SPEAKER_02]: Most of mine are not intentional.
01:16:50.301 --> 01:16:53.424
[SPEAKER_02]: We have twenty seven games in the month of September.
01:16:54.084 --> 01:16:56.186
[SPEAKER_02]: We won seventeen and eleven in August.
01:16:57.327 --> 01:17:01.631
[SPEAKER_02]: If they repeat that, they're at about eighty five wins.
01:17:02.332 --> 01:17:03.553
[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to Coral, Thomas, by the way.
01:17:04.254 --> 01:17:05.875
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, laying in this one server for that.
01:17:06.155 --> 01:17:06.296
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
01:17:06.576 --> 01:17:07.657
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so that would
01:17:09.092 --> 01:17:18.118
[SPEAKER_02]: If the meds do what they did the prior month, which was eleven and seventeen, basically the opposite, we finished with a better record.
01:17:20.200 --> 01:17:23.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we still have, I think the reds are still ahead of us.
01:17:23.903 --> 01:17:24.123
[UNKNOWN]: Fuck.
01:17:24.283 --> 01:17:26.364
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and so they just hit a grand slam to go ahead on the Tigers.
01:17:27.365 --> 01:17:28.006
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's not fun.
01:17:28.026 --> 01:17:32.269
[SPEAKER_02]: So it will actually, we are a half game behind the giants.
01:17:33.630 --> 01:17:36.592
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they decided they know how to play offense the last week.
01:17:39.909 --> 01:17:41.290
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's, yeah, that's fun.
01:17:42.531 --> 01:17:46.874
[SPEAKER_02]: But yes, September's gonna be interesting because they do have something still to play for.
01:17:47.434 --> 01:17:50.476
[SPEAKER_02]: They do, which is kind of what I wanted.
01:17:50.516 --> 01:17:51.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I didn't want them to be out.
01:17:52.937 --> 01:18:01.863
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, five and a half games to make up in a month is difficult, but it's not unheard of.
01:18:02.664 --> 01:18:07.387
[SPEAKER_02]: It's happened before, but it's kind of like you guys said with this bullpen.
01:18:08.998 --> 01:18:17.444
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, in August, they actually were, I think, Papten and Bob Henn, ERA, so they weren't awful.
01:18:18.485 --> 01:18:21.047
[SPEAKER_02]: So it wasn't, they didn't cost us a bunch of games.
01:18:21.127 --> 01:18:21.888
[SPEAKER_02]: It cost us a couple.
01:18:23.289 --> 01:18:27.692
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think starting pitching costs us more than the Bob Henn did in the month of August.
01:18:29.173 --> 01:18:33.975
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, literally the first two games, I guess, the brewers are a prime example.
01:18:34.816 --> 01:18:38.597
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, be great if Lawler could get a hit.
01:18:39.158 --> 01:18:45.120
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I really hope so because I really want him to do well because I think he is a very talented player.
01:18:45.160 --> 01:18:51.323
[SPEAKER_02]: He just, he's got to get the monkey off his back and get that hit.
01:18:52.671 --> 01:19:10.792
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, if I think if you can just get one hit, I think he'll just, you know, have that that's stress or gone and I think we'll start to seem trying up from there hopefully at least, but that'll hopefully be something that we can at least discuss and talk about and we can all cheer and clap and everyone applaud for on when would it be Wednesday night?
01:19:11.192 --> 01:19:12.634
[SPEAKER_06]: Wednesday, Thursday, I don't know.
01:19:12.734 --> 01:19:16.438
[SPEAKER_06]: I work for much mostly late nights now, so not sure it's definitely one of those would be.
01:19:16.779 --> 01:19:22.365
[SPEAKER_06]: But either way, we appreciate everything one of you guys were tuning on in here for another exciting episode of D-Bax Dispatch.
01:19:22.946 --> 01:19:27.652
[SPEAKER_06]: Especially here on Monday, Monday morning, Labor Day, so again, appreciate you guys spending your holiday time with us hanging out.
01:19:29.112 --> 01:19:32.353
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, comment, subscribe on the video on the YouTube side again, and it does help out immensely.
01:19:32.973 --> 01:19:37.575
[SPEAKER_06]: Whether you're on on the YouTube or if you're on our socials, make sure you guys follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
01:19:37.595 --> 01:19:42.576
[SPEAKER_06]: TikTok, check the description or a pinned tweet for the link to the discord if you have not already joined the discord again.
01:19:42.616 --> 01:19:43.036
[SPEAKER_06]: It's free.
01:19:43.396 --> 01:19:43.716
[SPEAKER_06]: Go to the page.
01:19:43.736 --> 01:19:44.556
[SPEAKER_06]: It will send in there.
01:19:45.297 --> 01:19:46.677
[SPEAKER_06]: Even if you have some other friends that
01:19:47.217 --> 01:19:51.423
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, our D-Bex fans, if they don't watch the show yet, I mean, one share with the friends, what are you doing?
01:19:51.744 --> 01:19:52.805
[SPEAKER_06]: Friends help out of the friends, right?
01:19:53.627 --> 01:20:00.376
[SPEAKER_06]: But setting the link to the discord, too, if you want to have them hop in there, especially again with football season starting, it'll be more discussion than just D-Bex talk.
01:20:02.099 --> 01:20:05.862
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll make sure you guys also go on over to azsnakemit.com, check out all the written content.
01:20:06.363 --> 01:20:11.167
[SPEAKER_06]: Every single day there's new stuff there, multiple articles, in-depth eyes, even for games, there's game day threads.
01:20:11.187 --> 01:20:24.198
[SPEAKER_06]: So even if you aren't on the discord, or if you have no discord, you know, no join or no interest in joining, they do have game day threads on the snake pit, which is basically the same as our game day discussion channel, but just with a bunch of other snake pit writers and stuff like that.
01:20:24.278 --> 01:20:27.381
[SPEAKER_06]: So that's a fun place to be for any debug fan.
01:20:27.921 --> 01:20:31.286
[SPEAKER_06]: But in the meantime, we will go and let you guys on out here.
01:20:31.326 --> 01:20:35.513
[SPEAKER_06]: We'll see you again on Wednesday to discuss hopefully a like Apes Edge series suite with Rangers.
01:20:36.715 --> 01:20:39.299
[SPEAKER_06]: But until then, you guys have a fantastic rest of your Labor Day.
01:20:39.319 --> 01:20:41.102
[SPEAKER_06]: Have a great start two weeks and we'll catch you guys later.
01:20:41.523 --> 01:20:41.763
[SPEAKER_06]: Peace out.
01:20:51.885 --> 01:21:16.723
[SPEAKER_04]: Under the lights, the game goes down Teas of a heap, oh, you're on this town A breading breading game on the car, we're just in the back Bringing it all, fast balls from the batting night Not anything Steve, we fight all night Wins and bosses, high to lose We break it down, let us tell it goes
