[SPEAKER_01]: But just in general, a lot of great content, and none of it is behind a paywall.
01:52.658 --> 01:53.938
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to technically create accounts
01:58.181 --> 02:02.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Brandon happy Thursday has how's the the week been for you so far?
02:02.802 --> 02:11.825
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's been exciting for everybody now The football is a fishy back on the way which could be technically a threat if you're in Arizona, the cardal fan How's the start to the week been for you so far?
02:14.246 --> 02:22.528
[SPEAKER_02]: It's okay I found out I didn't get the job that I interviewed for today, so that was on the bummer I mean, they weren't that incredible, nobody do same boat
02:23.577 --> 02:26.419
[SPEAKER_02]: It made me sad for about two minutes, then I realized nothing.
02:26.439 --> 02:31.622
[SPEAKER_02]: I can do about it, so I just kind of moved on for my day, but I really wanted the job, so it's kind of a bummer.
02:33.943 --> 02:44.769
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm in this weird mood mode with sportswear like, I don't wanna watch baseball.
02:45.449 --> 02:50.652
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanna watch football instead, but that changes on because football's only on.
02:51.732 --> 02:54.693
[SPEAKER_02]: Normally, I sell week, Saturdays and Sundays.
02:55.273 --> 02:58.774
[SPEAKER_02]: But this week, we get literally what Thursday?
02:58.794 --> 03:02.794
[SPEAKER_01]: No, one day, Thursday, Monday nights, it's three days a week still.
03:02.974 --> 03:04.135
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a weird schedule right today.
03:05.395 --> 03:07.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like it's very weird.
03:08.696 --> 03:10.496
[SPEAKER_02]: I was multitasking.
03:10.896 --> 03:17.057
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to say, really, I had the football game on my TV, downbacks on my computer.
03:18.678 --> 03:19.478
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was very,
03:20.755 --> 03:22.519
[SPEAKER_02]: very odd a feeling.
03:22.599 --> 03:25.666
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully the debats can start to play a little bit better.
03:25.687 --> 03:30.618
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's not like they're playing technically, but they could definitely be playing better.
03:32.888 --> 03:40.471
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the the offense is definitely going to turn up a little bit when we'll touch on the offense here in general, but I actually Same for me.
03:40.571 --> 03:54.378
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a Turnedown on the job interview that I had that I was also in the same boat kind of looking forward to Which is the most annoying part is it was like a month long process and I'm like even most places It's like a week or two This one is a little bit more drawn out so I got my hopes up a little bit more.
03:54.858 --> 03:57.439
[SPEAKER_01]: They pull me know so To consider
04:00.962 --> 04:02.723
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you in the morning yesterday.
04:03.164 --> 04:03.944
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never been there before.
04:03.964 --> 04:04.565
[SPEAKER_01]: I highly recommend it.
04:04.585 --> 04:05.545
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially if you got a little one.
04:05.925 --> 04:06.626
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great experience.
04:07.226 --> 04:10.449
[SPEAKER_01]: And then because he, apparently don't want to nap on the entire way up there.
04:10.849 --> 04:11.549
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little schedule.
04:11.569 --> 04:18.194
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and often we're like, do we really want to drive down a five o'clock and deal with a baby that is not naped or not gotten any sleep at all today?
04:18.214 --> 04:24.138
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, so we just, we stayed in Flagstaff overnight and woke up to like 54 degree weather.
04:24.158 --> 04:26.720
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I miss, I miss living here so much.
04:27.260 --> 04:45.815
[SPEAKER_01]: Because by the time that we got back down here today, like three o'clock or so, it was like 117, 108 and I was like, yeah, I didn't miss this, I didn't miss this, I enjoyed the, you know, the 24 to 36 hours where it was where we actually got to stay in that in Flagstaff, so it definitely awaits to, you know, get my mind off things, of course.
04:45.855 --> 04:53.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, the DBX had to have that game that they had last night, they kind of went like, damn, I was having a great time here in Flagstaff, and DBX had to just go and spoil it, didn't you?
04:55.821 --> 04:56.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, either way.
04:57.802 --> 05:00.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of both of us will find something soon.
05:00.182 --> 05:01.342
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, which got it.
05:01.362 --> 05:09.664
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to keep on trucking along like the, uh, the baseball season is, but I'm, I do agree that I am in the, uh, the same kind of boat to that, uh, this time here.
05:09.984 --> 05:16.146
[SPEAKER_01]: I am still going to watch D-backs, this was much as I can, but let me tell you, I'm so excited on Sunday, uh, it's really watch the characters again.
05:16.166 --> 05:18.847
[SPEAKER_01]: And just any football in general, like I'd watch a little bit of the Patriots.
05:18.867 --> 05:23.948
[SPEAKER_01]: See you next game last night with the Drake, maybe, which man, he's the, uh,
05:24.468 --> 05:26.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm thinking of the guy on the SP and that made the joke there.
05:27.250 --> 05:31.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, skit bailers skit bailers still got his fastball even in his age.
05:31.413 --> 05:35.977
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still got his fastball to phenomenal with the the Drake maybe saw that.
05:35.997 --> 05:36.597
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm even right now.
05:36.637 --> 05:39.539
[SPEAKER_01]: I have the the Rams nighter's game kind of on my phone bottle corners.
05:39.579 --> 05:40.100
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the same boat.
05:40.440 --> 05:42.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Teflon of watching some football around the time of the year.
05:42.482 --> 05:44.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Just kind of like when no opening day comes around.
05:44.643 --> 05:48.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll watch a brand of tigers and a Orioles game when I don't give a shit about you.
05:48.286 --> 05:49.627
[SPEAKER_01]: The team's just because baseball's back.
05:50.087 --> 05:50.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the same thing when I football.
05:51.128 --> 05:53.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, uh, hopefully he backs.
05:53.650 --> 06:20.196
[SPEAKER_01]: can make us a little bit happier, especially if you weren't here as on a Cardinal's fan and Arizona Dynamics fan, I imagine a lot of times a September into October can be not the most exciting time to be a fan of some, some desert sports before the sun's come back, but yes, yeah, it's gonna be an exciting year and we got an exciting couple weeks here to finish off the season, and they kind of got on the way there, and since Nadion Monday as a little Labor Day through a fine schedule, I was not used to those, you know, one o'clock star times on Monday,
06:23.957 --> 06:27.858
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an Adi, I don't know why I said they're close enough, right, they're close enough.
06:27.878 --> 06:31.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know why I said it's an Adi, it's, you know, the trip down is fried my brain.
06:31.339 --> 06:37.901
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have to say the game in Kansas City, I'm sorry, Monday, very strange one early start time.
06:38.401 --> 06:41.102
[SPEAKER_01]: There was zero offense for the, you know, innings one through nine.
06:41.982 --> 06:51.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Shut up, shut up baseball, do you back said plenty of opportunities, uh, at least they had some opportunities in this one, especially it was a bullpen game for pretty much every single one of these games in this series, unfortunately.
06:51.864 --> 06:58.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I mean, Derrick Law, Cabrera, Clark Garcia, just Martinez, Corrio, and said, Tana, all combined in this one.
06:58.286 --> 07:03.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, one of those names out of that group was the only one that allowed any kind of runs there, uh, as, uh,
07:03.927 --> 07:05.628
[SPEAKER_01]: The 10th inning is where all the action happened.
07:06.129 --> 07:10.332
[SPEAKER_01]: The dvx scored one, obviously, or all their runs in the 10th inning off of Craig Kimball.
07:10.372 --> 07:14.535
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I don't know why teams think like Craig Kimball can get anybody on the team out, because he can't.
07:15.076 --> 07:20.360
[SPEAKER_01]: But dvx put a five in the top of the 10th their own Monday after both teams went to score list through the first nine.
07:20.920 --> 07:22.780
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're all sitting there like, man, five run lead.
07:22.800 --> 07:26.621
[SPEAKER_01]: This should be an easy win, we can throw somebody out there to get the quick final three outs.
07:26.681 --> 07:30.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe give up that ghost runner or two, doesn't matter, should be a nice easy win here.
07:30.622 --> 07:34.403
[SPEAKER_01]: We can, you know, kind of relaxed, but unfortunately, the Royals also decided, you know what?
07:34.963 --> 07:42.324
[SPEAKER_01]: What you did, I want to do as well, as they became just an absolute juggered out of that and anyone, Corrio, didn't help things out.
07:42.344 --> 07:45.005
[SPEAKER_01]: He continued to have a little bit of a walk issue.
07:45.585 --> 07:48.986
[SPEAKER_01]: And even when he wasn't walking, he was just a lot of the stuff that's kind of missing over the middle of the play and the Royals
07:50.886 --> 08:02.911
[SPEAKER_01]: As a seller of Perez did have a basis clearing triple to make it five to four d-backs with the time run at second base, but then of course Dennis Santana who's been a phenomenal picker for the d-backs comes in and gets the last two outs that he needs.
08:03.471 --> 08:13.955
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of our heart pressures were way too high, it was a very stressful time, you know sitting here like while the d-back fine score runs and the one time the bullpen can lock it down are we really going to blow this lead thankfully.
08:14.535 --> 08:21.998
[SPEAKER_01]: That did not come to fruition and the D-Bast win this one five to four, which was a very big win because the Apodras also ended up being the national's that day.
08:22.578 --> 08:28.960
[SPEAKER_01]: So after Monday they continue to stay in that third place in the National League World card by one half a game over the podcast.
08:28.980 --> 08:29.480
[SPEAKER_01]: So Brandon
08:30.080 --> 08:38.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, on to you, we're kind of stuck at you on, you know, that Monday Labor Day game, whether be the first nine inning is a bullpen that was really solid, especially just Martinez.
08:39.004 --> 08:51.850
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you've been pitching an inch and made a joke that that was the longest scoreboard velocity check in history where he just threw one or three by the last hit or the inning and just stared at the scoreboard for, fell like, 10, 15 seconds, which is just absolute aura from our legend, just Martinez.
08:52.610 --> 09:04.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Or any of the names, whether it's the D-Bax offense there or not of Marino, could tell Marta having a pretty dull, solid series so far on this one too, we'll kind of stuck out two in that five to four extra innings just roll a coaster right of emotions.
09:06.497 --> 09:23.641
[SPEAKER_02]: the fact that it was score list, I'm pretty sure that the line from the actual game eight and a half runs, which is just mind-boggling like if you bet on the game, you're like, oh, it's zero zero, I took the under after not many things.
09:23.881 --> 09:24.441
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm good.
09:24.461 --> 09:26.061
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to score one chance.
09:26.161 --> 09:26.801
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to be good.
09:27.321 --> 09:30.762
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's quarter nine combined runs in the 10
09:36.875 --> 09:40.733
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe I've both marked it somewhere like that had like an effort.
09:41.847 --> 09:47.348
[SPEAKER_02]: happened, I got a member of the book market, a mine, or no, I was on the deep backstitch.
09:47.388 --> 09:48.208
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I'll do it.
09:48.349 --> 09:53.910
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there was just some creative, there was some crazy stuff.
09:54.470 --> 10:08.213
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, from Sarah Langs, the Dom backs Royal's game is the third game, at least the original era in 1669, to be the oldest student, Iron Man innings, and with each team having school at least four runs joining, he was sitting in Oakland back in
10:14.058 --> 10:18.267
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a mind-boggling stat to me.
10:18.928 --> 10:22.576
[SPEAKER_02]: That is beyond crazy to me.
10:23.337 --> 10:23.497
[SPEAKER_02]: Um.
10:24.223 --> 10:25.824
[SPEAKER_02]: We won the game, that's all that matters.
10:26.645 --> 10:30.829
[SPEAKER_02]: True, but watching this career, I was like, I'm done.
10:31.129 --> 10:33.691
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what do you do against Pittsburgh?
10:34.492 --> 10:36.754
[SPEAKER_02]: You appreciate you very much for what you did there.
10:37.054 --> 10:37.895
[SPEAKER_02]: And you were really good.
10:38.276 --> 10:39.497
[SPEAKER_02]: And you got sent down.
10:39.617 --> 10:42.059
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you came back up, you just not despair.
10:42.099 --> 10:42.980
[SPEAKER_02]: You weren't just saying.
10:43.640 --> 10:46.343
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's definitely a bummer to see.
10:47.203 --> 10:48.344
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very curious.
10:49.744 --> 10:50.905
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened?
10:51.366 --> 10:54.929
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's got to be, I don't think it's mechanics.
10:55.450 --> 10:56.371
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's that.
10:56.431 --> 11:02.196
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's something else going on because he wasn't down that long.
11:02.256 --> 11:03.157
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he came back up.
11:03.177 --> 11:04.358
[SPEAKER_02]: I think like two weeks later.
11:11.118 --> 11:18.062
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and then, yeah, I just, Justin Martinez is, it's so my gotty's so good, so good.
11:18.882 --> 11:24.345
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven games, six and two thirds, whoops a little high, but he does have eight strikeouts.
11:24.665 --> 11:28.227
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's striking out a batter or appearance.
11:28.507 --> 11:29.528
[SPEAKER_02]: He's still in no by the way.
11:30.869 --> 11:34.170
[SPEAKER_02]: He got a second one of the season in this game.
11:34.350 --> 11:38.653
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I'm hoping that we're getting to that point
11:41.612 --> 11:44.893
[SPEAKER_02]: That is, we could have you one two three.
11:46.773 --> 12:01.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I know a lot of of us were begging for anybody, but what we got, but hey, you know, kind of he said Monday, they got the technically, in their second attempt, got the job done, which will definitely touch around here in a minute, but man, it was a, it was definitely a wild game that I'm Monday on the point of career.
12:02.176 --> 12:06.316
[SPEAKER_01]: I do agree that I think that, you know, it was a right call to send them back down.
12:06.876 --> 12:08.397
[SPEAKER_01]: The first time they did it, it was unfortunate.
12:08.417 --> 12:09.637
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, man, I feel like this guy,
12:10.437 --> 12:36.468
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... is just a phenomenal reliever felt like it just because of the bullpen is there is going to be one guy that shouldn't have been sent down that was sent down unfortunately that was him at the time come back up i might disagree i think there is something mechanical and when i say mechanical i don't mean like all day the the pitching staff like you know the coaches to be something we're like oh hey do this because obviously they really need to do much i think it's him just at the time just kind of overthrowing and whether it's you know he's
12:37.328 --> 12:40.289
[SPEAKER_01]: extending weird whether he's just got a different release point.
12:40.409 --> 12:51.954
[SPEAKER_01]: I truly think it's something mechanical because I mean, a guy like him, the career that he's had, I don't think he'd be too, you know, bothered by the amount of time being sent up and down as he has, just because of how many teams he's been on in his career, the minor leagues.
12:52.434 --> 12:54.876
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it was just more of whatever it was mechanical.
12:54.896 --> 12:56.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it was the D-back themselves cause it.
12:56.677 --> 13:00.339
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the coaching staff went through and like, hey, it changes part of your delivery and all this.
13:00.459 --> 13:12.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think, you know, kind of like sometimes what happens is, you know, maybe maybe he was favoring some part of his back and was pitching a different way or in general maybe it was just, you know, gotten his own head and that lead, led to him being like, oh, cool.
13:12.686 --> 13:16.589
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to release the ball a little bit more down here, a little bit more forward, a little more back.
13:16.629 --> 13:18.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And the next thing, you know, just spirals into,
13:18.810 --> 13:22.192
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, you fix what's not broken and next thing you know a lot of things start breaking.
13:22.832 --> 13:28.596
[SPEAKER_01]: But then also on the point of just Martinez, I mean, there's a reason why I was collecting his cards for a long time.
13:28.636 --> 13:30.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been a big believer in just Martinez.
13:30.057 --> 13:31.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad the world started to see it as well.
13:32.058 --> 13:43.184
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if you think there's a, I know a Steve Ashman is very chronically online, like Twitter, like I know our boy gave in the chat here tuning on in, and the only person who can be JMR is the self which 100% true.
13:43.764 --> 13:45.345
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes it's just the control issues.
13:45.405 --> 13:46.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not many hitters.
13:46.266 --> 13:47.106
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's got
13:48.607 --> 14:09.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Less than 100 batting average against his splitter in the his career in the majors like people just can't touch that pitch And when his other pitches aren't really located well, it makes this splitter a little bit easier to lay off But when he's locating well, it's just absolutely disgusting and I would love to have him, you know Continue to get some more back to back some high leverage, but understandably coming off a Tommy John.
14:09.898 --> 14:12.600
[SPEAKER_01]: I think his second is a career They're gonna slow roll a little bit more
14:13.400 --> 14:38.460
[SPEAKER_01]: Which any other season that would be like do we need J. Mar in as many high-level situations this year We can least afford it a little bit Obviously in the last week or so, maybe not as much because how bad or how much the both ends being used with how many bullpen games have been doing But definitely I think we're gonna see him get some more high-level situations going forward because yeah like you said Tuesday I think all of us were like, I don't care if you pitch yesterday I don't care whatever it is throw him back out there Please we're baking for but it was a
14:39.000 --> 14:40.301
[SPEAKER_01]: Very strange game there on Monday.
14:40.321 --> 14:44.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of props also deserve to go to Cabrera as well.
14:44.704 --> 14:46.825
[SPEAKER_01]: I know a Derek Lock, Cabrera.
14:47.105 --> 14:50.387
[SPEAKER_01]: The bullpen itself, I mean, Taylor Clark had pretty, you know, pretty solid outing.
14:51.028 --> 14:52.749
[SPEAKER_01]: They just continue to be solid.
14:52.769 --> 14:57.292
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Brian Garcia, Brian with the, like, Braden Garcia, telling you, my brain's fried.
14:58.292 --> 15:04.416
[SPEAKER_01]: The bullpen itself just outside of Cario deserves a lot of credit, especially Dennis Santana for coming in, especially that beautiful three-two slider.
15:04.436 --> 15:07.038
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just perfectly placed for the final out of the game.
15:07.458 --> 15:10.628
[SPEAKER_01]: So everybody about Korea and that bullpen is really a lot of praise on this one because
15:11.732 --> 15:14.454
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when your offense isn't scoring any runs, it's really tough.
15:14.474 --> 15:22.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I think even Gabe mentioned in our text group chat that you're basically having the both and need to be perfect for the entire game and they promote chat to.
15:22.878 --> 15:25.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, outside of Korea, they didn't allow any kind of runs.
15:25.800 --> 15:38.327
[SPEAKER_01]: They were as nails as you could ask for, but that just isn't going to, is going to work every single game, especially as we saw in Wednesdays game three, that you need the offense to kind of, you know, carry their, carry their load a little bit more than they happen as a play.
15:40.130 --> 15:53.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I do at least want to shout out, I know I shouted out a game of the chat, I also want to shout out Justin Justin Sam, I'm watching football and listening to you guys, we appreciate that Justin, I know a lot of people probably watching the the divisional matchup in I think it's what they're playing in Australia right now.
15:53.273 --> 15:54.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's not right 100.
15:54.814 --> 15:56.574
[SPEAKER_01]: No warning in Australia.
15:57.255 --> 16:03.316
[SPEAKER_01]: So in the land down under is where they're playing the games we appreciate anybody that might be tuning on in as Justin as well.
16:03.356 --> 16:04.516
[SPEAKER_01]: So appreciate everybody.
16:07.203 --> 16:34.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Very strange game of Monday and then we're sitting there on Tuesday like you know what we all have a good news coming in but roller coasters we just cannot have a single game without roller coaster emotions and we got not just one but we got two of them here in this one as going into Tuesday's game the debaq's got a nice surprise will not surprise we all knew it's going to happen but it was a very sore sore was a good site for sore eyes untill I mean my brain's just
16:36.010 --> 16:42.073
[SPEAKER_01]: But Quorum Burns made his major league appearance on the mound for the first time in over 400 and I think 60 something days.
16:42.713 --> 16:46.855
[SPEAKER_01]: First start for the D-back sentences, start last year against the Nationals when he did it, but I'm going to get Tommy John.
16:47.415 --> 16:51.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, we knew he wouldn't be going long, three innings, two hits, two walks, two strikeouts.
16:51.717 --> 16:58.259
[SPEAKER_01]: They mentioned in multiple terms of the broadcast, the one thing that's going to be lacking a little bit compared to everything else is just control.
16:58.379 --> 17:02.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that happens with every pitcher coming back from Tommy John, is that they don't really have the feel for most of their pitches yet.
17:04.622 --> 17:08.124
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a pretty solid outing for core and burns, I don't think anybody is upset about what happened.
17:09.044 --> 17:12.686
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the rest of the bullpen, once again, I mean, this is just backed by games with a bullpen game.
17:13.306 --> 17:14.447
[SPEAKER_01]: Strow a little bit wild.
17:14.467 --> 17:16.988
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd have two walks, but he was able to work around some damage there.
17:17.008 --> 17:18.268
[SPEAKER_01]: And fortunately, he got sent back down again.
17:18.288 --> 17:21.750
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we're ever going to see him up here for more than a day or two at this point.
17:22.230 --> 17:26.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Kevin Ginkl could use to be pre-sold in inning in a third year a back down under four now.
17:26.871 --> 17:32.053
[SPEAKER_01]: To solve Dennis Santana once again, I mean one inning struck out the side that in all three battles that he saw.
17:32.093 --> 17:38.255
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just discussing Johnny LaZania, LaWazaga continues up phenomenal season, a 2.43 ERA.
17:38.755 --> 17:40.736
[SPEAKER_01]: The defense also helped him out there and this one a little bit.
17:40.756 --> 17:44.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Timothy Tau, I made a couple of nice diving grounds, especially one in next year innings.
17:44.617 --> 17:48.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Could tell him I'd say it had a couple of nice places as well as the offense in this one in general.
17:49.038 --> 17:59.464
[SPEAKER_01]: Once again, it wasn't able to do a lot, but thankfully they broke through there as in the eighth inning, a little Katelmartais single, Gabby Rano single again, Katelmartais, and a third and then a hurl to put on a sack flag at them on the board.
17:59.844 --> 18:07.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Tawha, add a little bit more insurance there in the ninth inning to make it two nothing debacks, and we're sitting there watching Warrieo come in and we're like, all right, you know what?
18:07.809 --> 18:12.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Warrieo, gonna lock this down, we're gonna have a nice big win here too.
18:12.892 --> 18:15.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Once again, keep our at least half game lead and maybe even go up a little bit bigger.
18:17.283 --> 18:27.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Get the two outs, John Rave steps in and got it has, I think, like three career home runs and Rio just left on one nothing to change up hanging a little bit more over the play than I imagined anybody wanted.
18:27.811 --> 18:32.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And John Rave tied it with one swing of the bat, which is very, very unfortunate to see.
18:32.755 --> 18:42.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So once again, we head on to extra innings, we're in the top of the 10th of the D-backs, we're able to clutch up and get a run to score because of A, I'm gonna double check really quick.
18:42.202 --> 18:44.324
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was the run scored on,
18:45.144 --> 19:07.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think it was the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the
19:14.363 --> 19:28.554
[SPEAKER_01]: unfortunately doesn't do it he did he did have the bases loaded he was able to work out of the jam and keep things tied going into the eleventh inning which was huge and that's where the d-vex thanks to a little bit weird weird defensive you know positioning and defensive play from the royals.
19:29.155 --> 19:38.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Lorda scuriles junior actually did something for once the corpse of Lorda's got a RBI double that turned into a triple because of the air got him on the board and then could tell Marta came through.
19:38.742 --> 19:43.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah so they're staying from a triple originally to double an
19:44.831 --> 19:46.352
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's officially a double end of the night.
19:46.813 --> 19:58.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I say it was a triple which even then I was like I feel like that should have maybe been a single with like an error, but you know what, it helps the boost Lord is, you know, stats to maybe have some team willing to trade for him or we can help them the all season I'm okay with it.
19:59.363 --> 20:04.006
[SPEAKER_01]: But he gives the div actually the not one that could tell Marta a huge insurance sack fly right there.
20:04.407 --> 20:07.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And then of course, because the bullpen was so gasplac lost and being a former starter.
20:08.550 --> 20:20.437
[SPEAKER_01]: he was going to go out there no matter what winter lose we're going to we're going to die by Blake whilst in or succeed by Blake whilst in and thankfully there in the bottom of the 11th he just was absolute nails.
20:21.518 --> 20:37.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean struck out a couple of batters was really solid and it was great to see the emotion from them as well after locking down the save which I know in our just where we brought up not often do you see a guy blow a save and then get the win in the very next outing so he didn't want the save he just wanted the win to go on to his record
20:37.988 --> 20:40.330
[SPEAKER_01]: going forward because he was like, you know what, saves were overrated.
20:40.350 --> 20:41.290
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all about wins, baby.
20:41.330 --> 20:42.831
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all about wins, baby.
20:43.372 --> 20:50.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say once again, another roller coaster of a game from the D-backs on this one, but wins are all that matters the other day.
20:50.977 --> 20:56.401
[SPEAKER_01]: And they get another win here, winning the series in Kansas City, sitting themselves up for a potential sweep on Wednesday.
20:56.521 --> 21:02.065
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think the big storyline to this one outside of the bullpen, outside of, you know, the theatres there and the extra things.
21:02.485 --> 21:05.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, was the man returning on the bump in Corbin Burns.
21:05.907 --> 21:11.953
[SPEAKER_01]: As I mentioned before, everybody knew that this would not be a, oh, he's going to go five innings, maybe more, depending on how it's going.
21:12.373 --> 21:19.821
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew it'd be very limited three innings, 60 pitches hard cap, like if he is facing a batter in the middle that they're going to take him out, they're not letting me go any further.
21:21.128 --> 21:23.249
[SPEAKER_01]: But in general, what were your thoughts on core and burns?
21:23.269 --> 21:24.210
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you like from it?
21:24.230 --> 21:30.013
[SPEAKER_01]: What, you know, obviously, do you think that is something that we can see to have them improve on between now and the next start?
21:30.413 --> 21:36.236
[SPEAKER_01]: And thoughts in general, just having back the ace of the team or at least what should be the ace of the team, especially going on at 2027 to be on.
21:38.653 --> 21:40.934
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just good to see him back.
21:41.454 --> 21:45.996
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that we were like, he was supposed to come back around the All-Star Break.
21:46.456 --> 21:48.937
[SPEAKER_02]: He had a setback, but it wasn't did to his elbow.
21:49.437 --> 21:50.558
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a shoulder injury.
21:51.098 --> 21:54.700
[SPEAKER_02]: So that set him another two months.
21:55.360 --> 22:00.222
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, to the point, are we going to see Colman Burns back?
22:01.462 --> 22:03.283
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, is he got in fetching this season?
22:03.463 --> 22:05.584
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it was very up in the air.
22:05.964 --> 22:07.344
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was great to see him back.
22:08.945 --> 22:13.627
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he said, as coming back from Tommy Dond don't feel for some other pitches and tell.
22:14.227 --> 22:16.168
[SPEAKER_02]: Carmel, he did not have the feel for it.
22:16.208 --> 22:20.989
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's the one pitch that stood up to me that he just, he was struggling with.
22:21.069 --> 22:24.911
[SPEAKER_02]: But his, and velocity was a little bit down, but,
22:26.291 --> 22:28.734
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not worried about that, like it's his first or back.
22:29.194 --> 22:31.056
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like basically freeing training.
22:31.717 --> 22:37.903
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, do we really want him to be gone full bore, like 100% or the bat?
22:38.464 --> 22:41.387
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we just want him to focus on just having a good outing.
22:41.467 --> 22:41.747
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
22:43.964 --> 23:10.420
[SPEAKER_02]: I live open full 60 and that's what probably the team was hoping for but he had a very taxing second and third we threw like 20 plus pitches in both that and so once he finished at 57 I'm like yeah he's done he's done after three and like it was solid day new definitely things to work on for sure hope that that is next out in
23:12.268 --> 23:39.271
[SPEAKER_02]: uh maybe we get it up to 70 75 maybe we can get them to 55 um so we'll just have the wait and see um but no it's really great to see Corbin Burns back um because yeah he he listen I love Eduardo Rodriguez but Corbin versus these like if Corbin Burns was at
23:42.488 --> 24:06.842
[SPEAKER_02]: Then over 80 million over four years Corbin's getting what 200 million over his six like there's yeah there's a reason Corbin's getting paid the money he is Yeah, definitely definitely is Decent and I has been like don't look but it's overall stats like because What it was doing with Pittsburgh wasn't that great but his last seven has a 1.35 ERA and seven games with a
24:11.341 --> 24:13.402
[SPEAKER_02]: and I strike out in an under one whip.
24:15.043 --> 24:21.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing, like there's another guy in that back end of the bullpen that they can use in a high-leveled situation.
24:21.445 --> 24:35.311
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we have a lot, it's so weird because the last few scenes, I would say that we really didn't have a lot of high-sublish positive in high-leveled situations.
24:36.091 --> 24:38.292
[SPEAKER_02]: But this year, I feel like we have
24:40.302 --> 24:42.543
[SPEAKER_01]: What, at least four?
24:43.363 --> 24:48.605
[SPEAKER_01]: And what, Mario, this is our CEO, LaZania, you can throw in.
24:48.665 --> 24:49.325
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
24:50.365 --> 24:52.546
[SPEAKER_01]: J. Mar, I would say he's like teeter than on the edge there.
24:52.566 --> 24:56.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, do you really want to like, you know, obviously the team's not going to put him any high-level situations yet.
24:57.227 --> 25:02.089
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say you got, Mario Garcia, who else could you throw in there?
25:02.249 --> 25:02.489
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean,
25:03.449 --> 25:26.247
[SPEAKER_01]: If there's really not many other names on my head a couple of weeks ago, you could say Korea, but obviously we saw how that went Yeah, at least I feel like you're least four, which is kind of strange to say Like it's it's very strange though like Taylor Clark you could throw him in there potentially Yeah, I didn't j-mar so what four to five plus people you out in the Santana make it six Absolutely cinema absolute cinema
25:27.113 --> 25:47.545
[SPEAKER_02]: like literally the entire bullpen you can throw in high like you don't like we don't I wouldn't say we have rolls necessarily you just know you just have dogs very good guys that that can get the job done like we've seen Ginkl pitch in the 8th and 9th we've seen on person of fourth fifth and 6th
25:49.449 --> 25:56.474
[SPEAKER_02]: like these guys just working use them in any situation and that is such a luxury to have.
25:56.794 --> 26:13.005
[SPEAKER_02]: Something that we have not had, probably ever under my case in maybe before that, but definitely not in the my case in Tori, LeBelo era, for sure, having multiple guys back there that you can throw in high-level situations.
26:13.745 --> 26:18.288
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's great to see that we're not losing games
26:20.528 --> 26:44.862
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the kind of he said not many years in the my case in areas have you been able to be this confident maybe a year or two here There's a solid name like I know Archie Bradley before being adopted by Matt Kemp, and I think the 2018 season With that horrendous collapse in September like he was really solid in 2017 and even the 2018 like there's been a few solid pieces here in there But there's never been a unit this strong for the debux in their bullpen where as you said
26:46.083 --> 26:55.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we've been in vocal about here on this podcast since we started where it's very crucial to have a certified closer because it lets anyone else slot into their roles.
26:55.513 --> 27:00.858
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the one year I think is the outlier to that because, as you mentioned, you can use anybody in pretty much any scenario.
27:00.898 --> 27:02.099
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to go to a bullpen game.
27:02.139 --> 27:07.365
[SPEAKER_01]: You can use guys like Derek Law or Dennis Santana a little bit earlier if you need to tailor Clark and go to earlier.
27:08.045 --> 27:18.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Or if you want you can use Taylor Clark later the game you can use Brandon Garcia whenever you need him whether it's in the 7th inning or the 9th inning if you got a tough lefty That's what you got to go with Maria can be using the 7th 8th 9th inning.
27:18.053 --> 27:18.914
[SPEAKER_01]: You know you got more teams.
27:18.954 --> 27:22.176
[SPEAKER_01]: I can be using any of those innings like this is a bullpen that
27:23.397 --> 27:42.880
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's pretty much just a, all right, which which, as you mentioned, which one of you dogs is ready to go out there and you know, get the job done, because, I mean, looking at the, especially at the game there on Monday, uh, Derek Law obviously is shorter sample size, but him and the, uh, Dennis Santana, both have like a 1, 3, 5, YRA, uh, send short, like, or lower since we're in the D-backs.
27:42.900 --> 27:43.681
[SPEAKER_01]: So they've been really solved.
27:44.001 --> 27:49.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Clark season here is either, ERA is down to the 2, 45, Garcia is that 2, 08, uh, I think LeWise goes at 2, 40,
27:51.542 --> 28:05.745
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of the strongest units I've ever seen, and we can mention it from which every series how this bullpen is the NVP, the reason this team is even in the playoff hunt currently, because this offense has seen a major regression that's here compared to the last two years, which we were expecting.
28:05.885 --> 28:18.908
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew that signing erinata, which if you were to tell me in spring training, no-nerinata would lead this team in home runs, I think every divest in would call you crazy, but no-nerinata is going to hit maybe like how many games under 500 are we at this point?
28:19.328 --> 28:41.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're like, well, a 10 to 15 home runs did all the important and like, you know, clutch players on this team die at some point like my god, but now he's been he's been a blessing, but you know, when you kind of get some major playing time from a little more of Vargas and Tim Talwa in, like again, Jordan Muller, I still think it's phenomenal, but there's not a much pop in the plant that has been in the last couple years.
28:42.463 --> 28:45.325
[SPEAKER_01]: So we kind of expected the offense to downturn a little bit, but this will open has been,
28:45.985 --> 28:47.106
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, phenomenal for them.
28:47.446 --> 28:52.189
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw that in Monday and we saw that here on Tuesday as that's two bullpen games.
28:52.489 --> 29:05.318
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to count Wednesday, technically three in just a series and in the last what's seven days, you've seen four or five games where the bullpen has had to go a, you know, majority or if not the entire game, I know we do want to get to fill these.
29:06.579 --> 29:21.590
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's just no matter who's being called upon, they're coming up on a clutch situation and he had the job done, but going back to the main point here of game two, corn burns, I think that as you said, don't wanna see him go out there, you know, go in full 100%, I don't think he would've even done himself.
29:21.890 --> 29:26.854
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's touch, I think around 94, which I know when we signed him, he was hitting like 98 on some of his pitches.
29:27.495 --> 29:32.939
[SPEAKER_01]: Not like his 99 days when he was a brewer and an orial, but definitely a solid sign is first down
29:34.540 --> 29:39.030
[SPEAKER_01]: As you mentioned, there's a couple of long abats, and they won from Salvador Perez, where he made it for like 10 pitches.
29:39.050 --> 29:41.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have any past Magino, how to feel like.
29:43.525 --> 29:48.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know the the past squash time for like 10, 11 pitches, whatever it was that led and do double.
29:48.486 --> 30:00.429
[SPEAKER_01]: So there was a chance for him to go a little bit further into the game, maybe the fourth inning, but obviously with some some long A B's like that it cut a little bit short, but yeah, next outing maybe 70 75 pitches maybe go fourth in the fifth inning.
30:01.369 --> 30:09.391
[SPEAKER_01]: And just you know, continue to be core burns because he's going to be a picture that we need going forward, especially considering where this bolt or this starting rotation has been.
30:10.271 --> 30:16.777
[SPEAKER_01]: and especially a guy that we'll talk about here in a minute that made his return to the mound as well in game three.
30:16.817 --> 30:22.322
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to score in burns to be as core in burns asks we can possibly ask for for the rest of season.
30:22.362 --> 30:23.823
[SPEAKER_01]: But hey, it wins a win.
30:24.304 --> 30:31.450
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, going into a win today, once again, what's more frustrating about this win is after that roller coaster like, wow, great win.
30:32.371 --> 30:37.592
[SPEAKER_01]: We look at the scoreboard, the nationals are at 4-1 on the podries and the bottom of the eighth inning, we're like holy shit.
30:38.013 --> 30:42.394
[SPEAKER_01]: We might be able to actually go up a game and half over the podries here.
30:42.454 --> 30:43.954
[SPEAKER_01]: This is amazing.
30:44.894 --> 30:47.795
[SPEAKER_01]: The nationals bullpen continues to be the most dog chip bullpen.
30:47.815 --> 30:53.737
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they actually broke and set the record for the most like blown saves or blown leads in the sports history.
30:54.377 --> 30:56.178
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're just a generationally bad bullpen.
30:56.198 --> 31:20.849
[SPEAKER_01]: They let the Padres not only tie the game up, but go on and win the game As I know that broke a lot of our hearts watching watching a home, which is very unfortunate So that's why I made when say even bigger because both the D-backs and the Padres looking for a sweep So the D-backs can complete the sweep We've once again at least remain a half game up on the Padres on worst case scenario be a half game behind them and As we speak and fortunately that is the scenario that came to as
31:22.310 --> 31:27.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Zach Allen making his return to the bump and I know Gaby made the joke in our group chat.
31:27.836 --> 31:32.221
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, Zach Allen makes his return threat because uh that nobody wants to see that.
31:32.301 --> 31:37.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I still like Zach Allen is a person but I'm sorry it's just his stuff is not good.
31:37.466 --> 31:40.590
[SPEAKER_01]: If velocity was down, his location still seems to be an issue.
31:41.010 --> 31:43.953
[SPEAKER_01]: He just cannot get much swing and miss if at all any
31:45.054 --> 31:49.338
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's not going to play, I mean, even in the minor leagues in Reno, we saw it wasn't getting much swing and miss.
31:49.859 --> 31:54.583
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you expect from the face actually, you know, good teams and the royals aren't even going to have the strongest offense?
31:54.843 --> 32:00.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Could you imagine that down in a playoff series going up against the cubs or the fillies, like two really strong offenses?
32:00.728 --> 32:03.629
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even want to imagine the possibilities if that's going down.
32:04.029 --> 32:07.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Even against the podries, he probably sucked, but we're in three and a third in this one.
32:07.550 --> 32:10.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Four hits, two walks, one strike out, one home run.
32:10.551 --> 32:15.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, I think there was even a broadcast check, so I'm like, oh, wow, this guy hasn't done anything this entire series.
32:15.132 --> 32:17.073
[SPEAKER_01]: He gives it a home run on a fast one, on the middle.
32:17.713 --> 32:19.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And then another guy returning from injury.
32:19.734 --> 32:22.935
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew the plan here would be Galen and then going to Soroka, Soroka.
32:23.895 --> 32:28.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the worst line, four innings, three hits, three runs, one walk, four strikeouts.
32:28.679 --> 32:32.742
[SPEAKER_01]: The three are in runs, we're unfortunately because Bobby with a junior in one of the best sports offs in the sport.
32:33.142 --> 32:41.008
[SPEAKER_01]: He left a pitch that, I mean, even Dave, me, you, Brandon, if you were hearing my voice, I'm pretty sure a good majority of us could have hit that ball.
32:41.348 --> 32:46.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not as far as Bobby with a junior did, but I'm pretty sure anybody at home could have at least put a pretty salt swing on and barrel it up.
32:47.392 --> 32:55.340
[SPEAKER_01]: As I think it was a slurve, just like right on AT, it was like an analby to show auto pitch when you set down your controller for too long, and they just have a pitch right on the middle.
32:55.681 --> 33:03.889
[SPEAKER_01]: That's basically what happened, and Bobby would do in your golfed it, gave them the three run lead that they're looking for, broke that two to two time, and unfortunately the D-backs.
33:04.249 --> 33:28.017
[SPEAKER_01]: While they did have some other opportunities in this one, you know, multiple times with the Rosen Square position, just yet again, could not get anything done, as they went one for nine with Risp in this game, and just had a few heartbreaking meetings there, especially there in the ninth inning, get, you know, the first two runners on, and like, you know what, maybe we can have some magic, strikeout, double play in the game, and we're all, you know, sitting there sad because we are now looking on the outside in at the wild card race.
33:28.977 --> 33:35.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Brandon, kind of like we talked about in game 2, game 3, the main thing we want to talk about is the return to the mound for a devack starting pitcher.
33:36.342 --> 33:39.884
[SPEAKER_01]: Technically within this one we got two as Zach Allen and Sero coming back.
33:40.384 --> 33:42.646
[SPEAKER_01]: What are your thoughts in general on, especially as Zach Allen?
33:43.166 --> 33:45.608
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you want to throw some opinions on Seroca, which
33:46.088 --> 33:47.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, we've already gotten a lot of saroka.
33:48.170 --> 33:49.351
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a set about that one.
33:49.451 --> 33:52.113
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just sometimes going to happen to the best hitter on that team.
33:52.513 --> 33:53.354
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it is what it is.
33:53.414 --> 33:55.375
[SPEAKER_01]: But what are your thoughts in general on Zach Allen's return?
33:55.735 --> 33:56.736
[SPEAKER_01]: How do he look to you?
33:56.816 --> 33:58.898
[SPEAKER_01]: What was a little bit of a concern for his first start?
33:58.938 --> 34:00.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Since what was it June?
34:00.699 --> 34:01.860
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe May, I'm trying to remember.
34:02.861 --> 34:05.403
[SPEAKER_01]: What kind of stuck out to you in that outing for a good old milkman?
34:06.724 --> 34:08.585
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, he refused to always fast.
34:09.920 --> 34:15.006
[SPEAKER_02]: He had no confidence on his fastball in this outing.
34:15.446 --> 34:24.335
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it was like, and I'm sorry, if you're gonna be a starting pitcher, you have to have a fastball.
34:24.516 --> 34:29.221
[SPEAKER_02]: You just have to really, because that's gotta be the upset that you throw.
34:30.551 --> 34:57.948
[SPEAKER_02]: will you're down to oh three oh like just get I get me over a fastball and in this outing he just he had no confidence with it oh it was definitely a worrisome for me like something that kind of stood out um I just don't know what the reasoning on it was was it
34:59.360 --> 35:00.180
[SPEAKER_02]: game plan.
35:01.441 --> 35:03.421
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I threw it nine times.
35:03.481 --> 35:04.502
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the TAPs.
35:05.862 --> 35:10.083
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he threw a slider 25 times.
35:10.164 --> 35:21.107
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's a really high, um, um, uh, just a drill for where or sentence.
35:21.127 --> 35:22.807
[SPEAKER_02]: Like 37% of his pitch is where it's slider.
35:23.908 --> 35:25.728
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's been using it honestly, so much this year.
35:25.788 --> 35:27.589
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's never, it has not been good like once.
35:28.767 --> 35:31.450
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it really hasn't.
35:31.510 --> 35:44.304
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought overall the outing wasn't too awful like yeah he gave up a homer to a really good hitter.
35:44.424 --> 35:47.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Carter Jensen was the reigning AL player the week.
35:47.528 --> 35:50.151
[SPEAKER_02]: So like I'm not really mad at that
35:51.907 --> 36:06.039
[SPEAKER_02]: Other than that, thought he was easy, other than the fact that he refused those as well, just refused to throw it, just, I don't know why, so, sort of look at, looks pretty good.
36:06.680 --> 36:15.387
[SPEAKER_02]: He really settled it in after giving out every moment, if he didn't allow it, basically the rest of the outing, and after the game,
36:16.388 --> 36:17.789
[SPEAKER_02]: he still have more pitches to throw.
36:17.849 --> 36:20.711
[SPEAKER_02]: He went into the bullpen to finish up.
36:21.131 --> 36:24.073
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he was still trying to stay stretched out.
36:25.234 --> 36:33.840
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very curious if this is what the plan is going to be going forward is Zack on start and Soroka comes in to finish the game.
36:34.801 --> 36:35.942
[SPEAKER_02]: Like are we going to go with that
36:44.954 --> 36:56.257
[SPEAKER_01]: weird scenario, which again, I don't hate the idea of using both of them, you know, kind of as a bullpen-esque game, but I don't know, man.
36:56.417 --> 37:06.660
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that, I know even Red Soxon is in the chat is asking us about the question they posed in the discord, but it's in the one Nelson comes back, like, who will be gone?
37:06.680 --> 37:11.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, statistically, who should be gone, and who's the old one, money, and, you know, who's produced well over the last few games and all that,
37:13.921 --> 37:19.711
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, is that going to be the, you know, the odd man out just looking at how bad he's been this year, which I would agree.
37:19.912 --> 37:26.122
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the best option if you want to win baseball games in a time and September when you need to win baseball games, but
37:27.496 --> 37:32.320
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, with the money that's owed and all that, I don't think they're going to move on from them, unfortunately.
37:32.760 --> 37:35.102
[SPEAKER_01]: But the stats do kind of just show that they do.
37:35.162 --> 37:36.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's been mentioned a bunch.
37:37.044 --> 37:42.989
[SPEAKER_01]: The over 60 IRA is the career-wresty's walking hitters at a insane rate.
37:43.009 --> 37:48.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not as much as I know last year, it's like a 3.09 walk per nine, and a 3.28 in 2024.
37:49.014 --> 37:51.656
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's just walking people a lot this year.
37:51.716 --> 37:53.798
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not striking out anybody anymore.
37:54.198 --> 37:59.261
[SPEAKER_01]: his strikeout per nine percentage is more than I think nearly half as what it was even in like 2021.
37:59.341 --> 38:00.962
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been going down as you've been going on.
38:02.202 --> 38:04.563
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not getting much swinging this when he is getting contact.
38:04.624 --> 38:10.867
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just very hard contact, which is just very unfortunate because again, I'm a big fan of that gallon I mentioned before.
38:10.907 --> 38:16.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that gallon, at least you know what he kind of was doing here as a as a picture for a while, but
38:17.270 --> 38:24.072
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter what, like there's no way to dice it that his stats are going to be good, like you can't make a stats look good when just it's been bad.
38:24.552 --> 38:45.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially as he mentioned when you're using a slider that is not a good pitch when you're using a fastball that you can't locate and you have no confidence in using that makes the rest of your repertoire not work as well because that was a big you know mentioned before that's why he was so good early on his dimex careers because his fastball location was phenomenal and then the change of which I feel like he's just abandoned and wants to throw his curveball more
38:47.077 --> 38:57.507
[SPEAKER_01]: but when you're fastball is not working good and you're throwing a slider that's horrible, hitters have a lot less than the worry about swinging out and they can focus more on one or two pitches and just dial it in.
38:57.547 --> 39:02.232
[SPEAKER_01]: But I just don't know if we're going to see any kind of changes in between now and as next start.
39:02.412 --> 39:07.256
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, as you mentioned, not the worst start possible, only two runs in the three and the third, but
39:08.077 --> 39:17.922
[SPEAKER_01]: when you look at some of the, you know, other numbers, it really doesn't show how, you know, just how piss poor he has been as a pitcher knowing this game, but as is the years going on in general.
39:18.022 --> 39:21.824
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know, would you rather go with another bullpen game?
39:22.104 --> 39:23.505
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you rather saroka start?
39:24.165 --> 39:29.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Or would you rather still, you know, try to attack down and hope that he doesn't put you behind the ball because with the way this offense is going.
39:30.846 --> 39:34.189
[SPEAKER_01]: You can automatically pencil in an L every single time that's at Gown as pitching.
39:34.410 --> 39:37.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's just that's the unfortunately the vibes that we get as fans.
39:37.613 --> 39:46.522
[SPEAKER_01]: I would not be surprised if that's the vibe that some of the offense gets where it's like, all right, you know, if Ed Wardo or Fad is going up there, just gotta get a couple runs.
39:46.562 --> 39:54.390
[SPEAKER_01]: If you Zach Gown's out there, yeah, we gotta get five plus six runs, you know, if we even want to have a fighting chance this one, that's not the kind of vibes that you want for team going forward.
39:54.951 --> 40:02.428
[SPEAKER_01]: In a time of the year where every single game is going to be absolutely crucial to win if you want to actually make it to October.
40:05.946 --> 40:14.389
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, I think they're going to have him start because the whole reasoning why he's putting it on and so we're looking at him.
40:14.409 --> 40:17.850
[SPEAKER_02]: The pan is, so okay, has history picking out of the bullpen.
40:17.870 --> 40:23.031
[SPEAKER_02]: So he kind of knows how to get ready and be ready to come in not the store of the game.
40:23.591 --> 40:33.554
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, but I just, with the way the parties are playing, um, it we're going to pop a game
40:36.169 --> 40:43.734
[SPEAKER_02]: What even try like why even try the rest of the games so like it's what message I'm sending to the players and fans.
40:44.554 --> 40:44.834
[SPEAKER_01]: It's out.
40:45.235 --> 40:49.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we're in a position that we didn't expect to be in this year You know, it's good enough.
40:49.737 --> 40:51.258
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's it's not good enough.
40:51.939 --> 40:56.382
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just being okay with being okay and not wanting to actually be better than okay, which is
40:57.242 --> 41:04.247
[SPEAKER_01]: some of the vibes I've gotten from this team again, whether that's and we've been very critical of my cousin and his roster construction this year.
41:04.607 --> 41:11.812
[SPEAKER_01]: This could be something that's even over my cadence head because of the amount of money that maybe the ownership group and the yes again, Ken Kendrick is the owner.
41:11.912 --> 41:13.172
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just the majority owner.
41:13.213 --> 41:15.474
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be the face of the group that pretty much is the owners.
41:15.834 --> 41:16.935
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the only one out there.
41:17.335 --> 41:20.697
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe all the ownership group was like, hey man, we're already given this guy like $20 million dollars.
41:21.838 --> 41:28.379
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't really care as long as it's making you know as long as our numbers at the end of the day look good Don't out there like where it's it's sunk costs.
41:28.539 --> 41:32.280
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care to do it which maybe that's not the case I don't know maybe that's just copia.
41:32.300 --> 41:35.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe this is all a haze an issue, but I'm not sure.
41:35.441 --> 41:44.443
[SPEAKER_01]: I just there are a lot of times That I wish I could be a flying the wall for those meetings between Lavolo my case in and the you know the rest of the front office and owners
41:44.843 --> 42:08.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I would love to see their reasoning, whoever is coming up with a reasoning to keep that going on on this team and why we haven't cut them yet, because I would want to know what they're doing unless they're just genuinely hypnotizing Hayes and then the other guys to be like, nah, it's just keep them on the team because I don't think you can actually explain any reason why at this point.
42:08.884 --> 42:10.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's nothing you can say, which
42:11.406 --> 42:34.662
[SPEAKER_01]: is unfortunately because even if Ryan Nelson does come back I don't think that he would slot into the rotation just because you know he hasn't had a lot of times not allowed to yeah he's not stretched out and even in Reno they've been doing him like one or two winnings at most so I feel like at this point when Ryan Nelson does come back we'll still deal with that gown and ciroka you know doing that kind of piggybacking or maybe they each get the
42:40.466 --> 43:08.507
[SPEAKER_01]: which was very unfortunate with the way they've been pitching but again it's just the one downside to the the bullpen this year with how good it's been is there's going to be somebody that doesn't deserve to be let go that's going to be let go and I would not be surprised if they make that call for a lot worse antenna let Nelson slanted the bullpen and then try to out the corpse of Zach Galen out there every single day because whether he has a stash or not he's still kind of ash cheeks but you know it is it is a nice stash I will say it that's a one positive thing I can say about Zach Galen this one is that he does have a nice
43:10.208 --> 43:37.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, as you know as Red Soxation saying like yes to Roca's blind in the look worse, but as the what game went on he got a lot better And it's it was only just one really unfortunate hanging knee ball of a sire that I read socks and pretty sure even you and corn barrels I'm pretty sure your kids could have put a nice swing on it to and gotten themselves a base knock off of that pitch because it was a it was a horrible horrible pitch But yeah, any other final thoughts from this game here on Wednesday the unfortunate two to five loss
43:40.416 --> 43:45.699
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a bummer, I was thirsty with what you saw a scene you could do earlier in the day.
43:46.079 --> 43:48.920
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you're like, we, like, senior year have had already won.
43:48.940 --> 43:49.681
[SPEAKER_02]: So you were tied.
43:49.701 --> 43:55.123
[SPEAKER_02]: So you really needed to, in this game, completely sweet to stay heavenen.
43:55.564 --> 43:57.405
[SPEAKER_02]: We're now a half game behind.
43:57.425 --> 43:59.486
[SPEAKER_02]: They play the Giants.
44:00.485 --> 44:01.826
[SPEAKER_02]: we play the Texas Rangers.
44:02.046 --> 44:11.772
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm hoping the giants can do us a favor and win that series because that would us out from men to Lee.
44:11.812 --> 44:12.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Who was he?
44:12.312 --> 44:12.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we could do.
44:13.974 --> 44:15.555
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so they've been put on.
44:15.615 --> 44:19.557
[SPEAKER_02]: Devours is just on all freaking terror right now.
44:20.017 --> 44:21.338
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Devours is on fire.
44:22.059 --> 44:22.299
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
44:23.540 --> 44:27.461
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I think when they bring back right now, I think they're claw.
44:27.901 --> 44:31.823
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't dare hit the air claw is a player that that gets moves.
44:31.863 --> 44:33.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's it's Dennis Santana.
44:34.023 --> 44:37.845
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Dennis Santana has been to beneficial for this team.
44:37.885 --> 44:41.686
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's come in and really clutch situations and gotten the job done.
44:42.346 --> 44:45.467
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying the air claw hasn't just saying.
44:47.427 --> 44:49.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Laugh has been less higher leverage.
44:49.608 --> 44:52.628
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been like an opener and low leverage innings here.
44:52.648 --> 44:56.109
[SPEAKER_01]: We're saying Santa has had some more medium to higher leverage outings.
44:56.550 --> 44:58.670
[SPEAKER_01]: And it is career like yes, his numbers has here been bad.
44:59.170 --> 45:01.131
[SPEAKER_01]: And his previous career as a pirate heating.
45:01.151 --> 45:02.871
[SPEAKER_01]: He used a former closer for Pittsburgh.
45:02.931 --> 45:05.052
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a lot of higher levered downings where his deracle
45:05.792 --> 45:32.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he especially his last year as a in the major leagues was in 2024 for the Nationals he did pitch 90 innings and he had a 2.6 year array, but I think just when you look at the innings there alone I think he's definitely more of a you know early to middle relief kind of pitcher and I don't think we need any any of those Loved in this bullpen and it's just again Zach Allen should be the guy that's like go But if we're being realistic, so unfortunately probably to be Derek Klaw, which maybe we can bring you back next year
45:35.016 --> 45:45.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say it's a yeah, I'm going to be a strange strange time as a we do have a harder schedule compared to the podgers going forward that much harder to be honest.
45:47.934 --> 46:11.388
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like I think they're scheduled the opponents have a combined like four point or point four stakes point percentage we have like a point four nine so it's really not that big of a difference, but it is it is something to keep in mind especially you know The the hope of the giants can continue to say hi and maybe we can catch the Rangers with the Rangers do of course You're back, so thankfully we don't have policy wall two throw many meatballs in this time around, but
46:12.008 --> 46:20.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it just a very unfortunate as you mentioned to be able to, or not being able to take advantage of the weaker series and stay a half game ahead.
46:21.041 --> 46:25.908
[SPEAKER_01]: But the positive way to look about it is I know we've been focused on the podgers last month or two.
46:27.328 --> 46:30.811
[SPEAKER_01]: The fillies and the cubs have been cool and off a little bit.
46:30.831 --> 46:32.712
[SPEAKER_01]: The fillies are only five and five and the last ten.
46:33.072 --> 46:34.894
[SPEAKER_01]: The cubs have dropped four games in row.
46:35.334 --> 46:40.358
[SPEAKER_01]: As we are now only three games back at the cubs and four games back at the fillies.
46:40.378 --> 46:41.919
[SPEAKER_01]: The cubs are the tiebreaker over us.
46:42.259 --> 46:45.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, we do technically have the tiebreaker over the fillies.
46:45.942 --> 46:51.366
[SPEAKER_01]: We're three and three against each other this season, but because of the intradivisional records, we have the tiebreaker there.
46:51.406 --> 46:56.250
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the cubs and fillies continue to just collapse and struggle,
46:57.210 --> 47:09.173
[SPEAKER_01]: And, or at least the Cubs whoever it is, maybe you don't need to fully focus on the podries, we can worry about some other teams actually, you know, help us out a little bit more, and we're going to do a lot more scoreboard washing going forward.
47:09.213 --> 47:22.615
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yes, we are, once again, out of a playoff spot, but the fact that we're only three behind the Cubs and this one is a, there's a lot more encouraging considering where we were around like two weeks ago and is looking like it's going to be us and the podries
47:26.356 --> 47:32.837
[SPEAKER_01]: gonna be a very interesting well like 16 games left to go here I believe 15 games now more than that yeah 15 games left to go
47:34.867 --> 47:46.032
[SPEAKER_01]: not a lot of room for air and you know the the offense is really going to be waking up because I guess that's that's mine of my final thought on this series is this offense is horrible especially against starting pictures.
47:46.052 --> 47:54.655
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Jesse Freeman even had a tweet kind of going over some of the debacks the offensive numbers against starting pictures as of late and it was like a seven game span.
47:54.695 --> 47:56.016
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was dating back from
47:58.217 --> 48:03.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Tuesday's game begins, Michael Walker going back to the double header on Saturday.
48:05.761 --> 48:16.487
[SPEAKER_01]: I think starting pitch against the D-backs have gone like 50 something games, I have like a 1 point something ERA and that's just hats, that's not what you want to see so the offense really really has to get it going.
48:17.167 --> 48:18.268
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping that, you know,
48:18.708 --> 48:24.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Statistically, I don't think any offense can perform this bad for the rest of the season, so maybe they're just getting out of the way now.
48:24.635 --> 48:34.405
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to find themselves a hot streak to get them hopefully propelled into October, but until I actually start to see signs of it, I'm not going to hold my breath too much for it, but what about you?
48:34.425 --> 48:37.649
[SPEAKER_01]: Any final thoughts on just a series in general before we look at what's on the horizon?
48:40.135 --> 48:45.956
[SPEAKER_02]: We went forward too on the road trip like that is something to be proud of.
48:46.077 --> 48:48.477
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they went, they won both series.
48:48.637 --> 48:58.380
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I know it's a bummer that will currently not in a playoffs spot right now, but you win, so we have series left.
48:59.680 --> 49:03.281
[SPEAKER_02]: If they win every series, these next five series,
49:04.380 --> 49:05.482
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's 88 wins.
49:05.762 --> 49:09.987
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, I'd true feel that should be enough to get into the playoffs.
49:12.531 --> 49:13.111
[SPEAKER_01]: Things crossed.
49:13.131 --> 49:16.135
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd you think too, but unfortunately that's, uh, it's also more of those.
49:16.155 --> 49:17.537
[SPEAKER_01]: We're like, what do the pot?
49:17.557 --> 49:19.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Because if we win this season, that's a time it's fine.
49:19.680 --> 49:19.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Even.
49:21.605 --> 49:22.505
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's kind of fun.
49:22.545 --> 49:23.426
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's doable.
49:23.546 --> 49:31.108
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be definitely tough against the podges, especially, but you know, you can't let the Rockies do to us what they did in Arizona last time.
49:31.689 --> 49:34.009
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we unfortunately got to try to beat the Marlins.
49:34.109 --> 49:49.935
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they swept us earlier this year, and they're still a tough team, but yeah, ten five would be great, and definitely, you know, as we mentioned earlier, they need some more help from other teams as well, because this is going to come down on the wire and the deep action only helped themselves out so much, and if their offensive is going to do with them, we got to bake for these other teams to do it as well.
49:51.955 --> 49:56.936
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to be looking at the series coming up for the D-backs as they move on from Kansas City.
49:56.956 --> 49:59.757
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe they come back home for a little home cooking.
49:59.797 --> 50:06.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe if I'm not mistaken, this should be one of the final home stands of the regular season.
50:06.558 --> 50:11.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this should be the the start of the final home stand for the dimebacks this year.
50:11.460 --> 50:20.322
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you've not been able to make it out to a ball game, then you've got what 10 days left to decide as they got a three game series against the Texas Rangers
50:22.403 --> 50:31.194
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a little bit of a weird series in general, and other Rangers aren't what they were in 2023, but they are still technically in the wildcard race and playoff race because of how bad the American League is.
50:32.135 --> 50:38.183
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would say we can look at the starting pitching matchups going forward, but for every single game this weekend.
50:39.264 --> 50:57.311
[SPEAKER_01]: No start has happened announced yet for the d-backs or the ranger so we literally don't even have anything to go off of so just going off of vibes in general I guess we'll look at some of the the the rangers like you know Line up and all that the rangers themselves are 72 75 the three games under 500 Some of the haters in their lineup.
50:57.351 --> 51:00.453
[SPEAKER_01]: Jock Peterson is having a pretty solid season only bad in 234 but it's got an 817 slug
51:02.173 --> 51:05.254
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's been, you know, hitting really or 817 OPS.
51:05.334 --> 51:08.036
[SPEAKER_01]: Fosky, you just didn't fosky on their bench as an 834 OPS.
51:08.076 --> 51:10.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Seagre's hit in 752 did miss a little bit of time.
51:10.797 --> 51:15.158
[SPEAKER_01]: A ZCOD's Iran as it has got a 775 OPS and Nimble out of 736.
51:15.599 --> 51:19.360
[SPEAKER_01]: Lankford's 765, you got Jake Berger with the 739.
51:19.400 --> 51:23.422
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's ain't lineup that is a little bit deeper than the Royals lineup that we just saw.
51:23.442 --> 51:26.603
[SPEAKER_01]: And even in that one, we are still able to limit them a little bit.
51:27.103 --> 51:46.953
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is going to be a team that has a little bit more slug so we need the bullpen and starting pitching to yet again lock in and continue pitching as well as it possibly can because you know, you don't want to be surprised with the the rangers, you know, next thing, you know, we're down six to two in the third inning because of home runs from seagull to ran and and jock Peterson.
51:47.013 --> 51:49.474
[SPEAKER_01]: So what are your thoughts on the rangers coming to town?
51:49.514 --> 51:50.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a match
51:56.293 --> 52:08.797
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like a lot of these guys, like, they don't on paper look like through that thread, but you, you have to respect these guys.
52:08.817 --> 52:11.338
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to pitch well to them.
52:11.438 --> 52:18.820
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to pay it then, Jen, like next thing you know, you'll have a Doran have a three for eight series with homeowners.
52:20.495 --> 52:21.155
[SPEAKER_02]: before you blink.
52:21.195 --> 52:25.018
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but I think we need our offense to show up here.
52:25.178 --> 52:47.050
[SPEAKER_02]: And they need to show up early because it seems like we have the ML we leave majorly baseball and come from behind wins, which is cool, but also not, I would like it if it just take a lead, because this bullpen, if we can have a lead in the sixth and the seventh, I feel like we can keep it shut down.
52:47.190 --> 52:47.391
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I
52:48.757 --> 52:58.469
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we did it on purpose, but also not on purpose, um, because that would usually in your high leverage, guys comes in to the same thing.
52:59.069 --> 53:08.000
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, there's just need offense to show up, um, so we'll have to just wait and see.
53:09.378 --> 53:16.322
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I think you make a great point that the offense is just kind of, you know, try to get them a little bit of a breathing room going forward.
53:16.342 --> 53:18.544
[SPEAKER_01]: So then the starting pitch, you can hopefully go deeper in the games.
53:18.904 --> 53:23.767
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the bullpen, if they do come in with a lead, can hopefully secure that lead because this is, uh,
53:25.188 --> 53:37.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the kind of trend that I want to continue that we've seen over the last, you know, like what 10 days or so, 11 days, maybe even what we're going back to that Saturday game, yeah, around the last like 10 games.
53:38.353 --> 53:41.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Not ideal for this offense going forward, they need to get some kind of sparkle and forward.
53:42.415 --> 53:44.255
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish you've been some pretty promising names.
53:44.295 --> 53:46.796
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Katel Marte is at a pretty solid stretch since coming back.
53:47.536 --> 53:52.137
[SPEAKER_01]: Marano has been hot and cold here a little bit, but he's been, you know, so I was like an 800 OPS in September.
53:52.157 --> 53:56.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Aaron Oto looks like he might be breaking out of his little of a slump there that he was in.
53:57.539 --> 53:59.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Tau has been a underrated name for this part of the offense.
54:00.400 --> 54:01.920
[SPEAKER_01]: So if we can get some of these guys to just, you know,
54:02.560 --> 54:05.581
[SPEAKER_01]: have a few more hits, especially with runners in this horry position.
54:06.441 --> 54:24.347
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's been a theme the entire season, but this is this is the time and turn around to get a few more, you know, clutch and timely hits because if they do make it to October, those situations are going to be amplified by like 10x because those are, you know, those savings are going to be very, very loud environments, whether they're home games or weight games.
54:27.348 --> 54:28.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say it's, uh, it's going to be
54:31.241 --> 54:32.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Just minimum to kind of get a minimum.
54:34.664 --> 54:35.444
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to.
54:35.564 --> 54:43.230
[SPEAKER_02]: It's really hard to preview it when we don't know the pitch and actually start against very like, but I feel like you're not going to be one of them.
54:43.290 --> 54:46.252
[SPEAKER_02]: Thoughts going to be one of them.
54:47.173 --> 54:50.355
[SPEAKER_02]: And then probably who started Monday.
54:50.635 --> 54:51.956
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it was that was a bull.
54:52.356 --> 54:53.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Both on game one.
54:53.057 --> 54:54.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Another bullpen game, unfortunately.
54:55.259 --> 54:56.940
[SPEAKER_02]: We do have a bullpen game on Sunday.
54:58.185 --> 55:03.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope not, then we'll keep using the bolt and the way that we have been if we want them to be as fresh as possible for October.
55:04.449 --> 55:17.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, maybe maybe we do see, I mean, maybe they go with Saroka or Galen, like I know would be on what Ford is rest, there'd be Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so only, I guess he got three days resting like that.
55:17.399 --> 55:18.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe not one of them.
55:19.260 --> 55:29.548
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure, maybe they call somebody up, maybe they actually do call up human Lynn or somebody else just to make a spot start to kind of help them refresh the bulk that are refresh the starting staff and whatnot going forward, but
55:30.958 --> 55:50.408
[SPEAKER_01]: It's I'm just praying it's not another bullpen game because I don't know how many more of those I can handle with for not only my mental health, but just for the health of these bullpen picture arms because a lot of these guys are throwing the most innings they have whether in the career or just in a and a a few years as major league or so.
55:50.868 --> 56:05.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he said hard to kind of preview the series and it's entirety when you don't really know what pictures are going up there, but I do think we can be fairly confident saying that we will see fought and he wrote in the series, whether that be, you know, Friday Saturday or Saturday Sunday, whatever it is.
56:05.761 --> 56:18.892
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fairly confident we can at least pencil those two in for one of those or two of those research, but any of the final thoughts in general on the series coming up debacks baseball and general life in general and any other thing that you wanted to address here tonight.
56:20.505 --> 56:23.126
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we covered it all from perfect.
56:23.146 --> 56:24.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, again, we appreciate everyone tuning on in.
56:26.288 --> 56:34.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Just because I mentioned it earlier, going to, you know, Flagstaff, go to the Marcos, Best Wings, because we stayed in the hotel last night.
56:34.893 --> 56:37.374
[SPEAKER_01]: I did go to the Marcos, I got myself 20 Wings.
56:37.454 --> 56:40.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I demolished 20 Wings and a Buffalo Bread.
56:40.535 --> 56:42.396
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to lie, even walking around the next day.
56:42.416 --> 56:44.938
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, wow, I feel like I just ate 20 Wings last night.
56:46.098 --> 56:47.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Zero regrets if phenomenal.
56:48.158 --> 56:49.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking about them to this day still.
56:49.659 --> 56:51.419
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you ever like that, go to markets for wings.
56:51.459 --> 56:58.320
[SPEAKER_01]: But D-backs, if you can, as I mentioned, we only have nine games left on the home schedule for the D-backs.
56:58.340 --> 56:59.560
[SPEAKER_01]: We got the Rangers for three.
56:59.820 --> 57:01.061
[SPEAKER_01]: We got the Marlins for three.
57:01.101 --> 57:05.601
[SPEAKER_01]: And then our last home series of the series, home series of the season.
57:06.242 --> 57:10.302
[SPEAKER_01]: As in the beginning, the Yankees, and that's going to be a very, very big series for both teams involved.
57:10.662 --> 57:12.303
[SPEAKER_01]: As the Yankees were still trying to chase down the race with the
57:15.363 --> 57:32.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you guys make it out for as many games as you can in these next 10 days Because we're gonna need as much energy in the ballpark and it need as many a d-backs fans filling in those seats Especially for the Yankee series can't let it be like 70% Yankee fans if at all possible But I hope you guys have had a great night tuning on it And we got a lot of legends in the chat there.

01:52.658 --> 01:53.938
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to technically create accounts
01:58.181 --> 02:02.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Brandon happy Thursday has how's the the week been for you so far?
02:02.802 --> 02:11.825
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's been exciting for everybody now The football is a fishy back on the way which could be technically a threat if you're in Arizona, the cardal fan How's the start to the week been for you so far?
02:14.246 --> 02:22.528
[SPEAKER_02]: It's okay I found out I didn't get the job that I interviewed for today, so that was on the bummer I mean, they weren't that incredible, nobody do same boat
02:23.577 --> 02:26.419
[SPEAKER_02]: It made me sad for about two minutes, then I realized nothing.
02:26.439 --> 02:31.622
[SPEAKER_02]: I can do about it, so I just kind of moved on for my day, but I really wanted the job, so it's kind of a bummer.
02:33.943 --> 02:44.769
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm in this weird mood mode with sportswear like, I don't wanna watch baseball.
02:45.449 --> 02:50.652
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanna watch football instead, but that changes on because football's only on.
02:51.732 --> 02:54.693
[SPEAKER_02]: Normally, I sell week, Saturdays and Sundays.
02:55.273 --> 02:58.774
[SPEAKER_02]: But this week, we get literally what Thursday?
02:58.794 --> 03:02.794
[SPEAKER_01]: No, one day, Thursday, Monday nights, it's three days a week still.
03:02.974 --> 03:04.135
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a weird schedule right today.
03:05.395 --> 03:07.795
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like it's very weird.
03:08.696 --> 03:10.496
[SPEAKER_02]: I was multitasking.
03:10.896 --> 03:17.057
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to say, really, I had the football game on my TV, downbacks on my computer.
03:18.678 --> 03:19.478
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was very,
03:20.755 --> 03:22.519
[SPEAKER_02]: very odd a feeling.
03:22.599 --> 03:25.666
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully the debats can start to play a little bit better.
03:25.687 --> 03:30.618
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's not like they're playing technically, but they could definitely be playing better.
03:32.888 --> 03:40.471
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the the offense is definitely going to turn up a little bit when we'll touch on the offense here in general, but I actually Same for me.
03:40.571 --> 03:54.378
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a Turnedown on the job interview that I had that I was also in the same boat kind of looking forward to Which is the most annoying part is it was like a month long process and I'm like even most places It's like a week or two This one is a little bit more drawn out so I got my hopes up a little bit more.
03:54.858 --> 03:57.439
[SPEAKER_01]: They pull me know so To consider
04:00.962 --> 04:02.723
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll tell you in the morning yesterday.
04:03.164 --> 04:03.944
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never been there before.
04:03.964 --> 04:04.565
[SPEAKER_01]: I highly recommend it.
04:04.585 --> 04:05.545
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially if you got a little one.
04:05.925 --> 04:06.626
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a great experience.
04:07.226 --> 04:10.449
[SPEAKER_01]: And then because he, apparently don't want to nap on the entire way up there.
04:10.849 --> 04:11.549
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little schedule.
04:11.569 --> 04:18.194
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and often we're like, do we really want to drive down a five o'clock and deal with a baby that is not naped or not gotten any sleep at all today?
04:18.214 --> 04:24.138
[SPEAKER_01]: And now, so we just, we stayed in Flagstaff overnight and woke up to like 54 degree weather.
04:24.158 --> 04:26.720
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I miss, I miss living here so much.
04:27.260 --> 04:45.815
[SPEAKER_01]: Because by the time that we got back down here today, like three o'clock or so, it was like 117, 108 and I was like, yeah, I didn't miss this, I didn't miss this, I enjoyed the, you know, the 24 to 36 hours where it was where we actually got to stay in that in Flagstaff, so it definitely awaits to, you know, get my mind off things, of course.
04:45.855 --> 04:53.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, the DBX had to have that game that they had last night, they kind of went like, damn, I was having a great time here in Flagstaff, and DBX had to just go and spoil it, didn't you?
04:55.821 --> 04:56.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, either way.
04:57.802 --> 05:00.162
[SPEAKER_01]: Kind of both of us will find something soon.
05:00.182 --> 05:01.342
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, which got it.
05:01.362 --> 05:09.664
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to keep on trucking along like the, uh, the baseball season is, but I'm, I do agree that I am in the, uh, the same kind of boat to that, uh, this time here.
05:09.984 --> 05:16.146
[SPEAKER_01]: I am still going to watch D-backs, this was much as I can, but let me tell you, I'm so excited on Sunday, uh, it's really watch the characters again.
05:16.166 --> 05:18.847
[SPEAKER_01]: And just any football in general, like I'd watch a little bit of the Patriots.
05:18.867 --> 05:23.948
[SPEAKER_01]: See you next game last night with the Drake, maybe, which man, he's the, uh,
05:24.468 --> 05:26.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm I'm thinking of the guy on the SP and that made the joke there.
05:27.250 --> 05:31.393
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, skit bailers skit bailers still got his fastball even in his age.
05:31.413 --> 05:35.977
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still got his fastball to phenomenal with the the Drake maybe saw that.
05:35.997 --> 05:36.597
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm even right now.
05:36.637 --> 05:39.539
[SPEAKER_01]: I have the the Rams nighter's game kind of on my phone bottle corners.
05:39.579 --> 05:40.100
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the same boat.
05:40.440 --> 05:42.462
[SPEAKER_01]: Teflon of watching some football around the time of the year.
05:42.482 --> 05:44.283
[SPEAKER_01]: Just kind of like when no opening day comes around.
05:44.643 --> 05:48.266
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll watch a brand of tigers and a Orioles game when I don't give a shit about you.
05:48.286 --> 05:49.627
[SPEAKER_01]: The team's just because baseball's back.
05:50.087 --> 05:50.948
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm the same thing when I football.
05:51.128 --> 05:53.110
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, uh, hopefully he backs.
05:53.650 --> 06:20.196
[SPEAKER_01]: can make us a little bit happier, especially if you weren't here as on a Cardinal's fan and Arizona Dynamics fan, I imagine a lot of times a September into October can be not the most exciting time to be a fan of some, some desert sports before the sun's come back, but yes, yeah, it's gonna be an exciting year and we got an exciting couple weeks here to finish off the season, and they kind of got on the way there, and since Nadion Monday as a little Labor Day through a fine schedule, I was not used to those, you know, one o'clock star times on Monday,
06:23.957 --> 06:27.858
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an Adi, I don't know why I said they're close enough, right, they're close enough.
06:27.878 --> 06:31.319
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know why I said it's an Adi, it's, you know, the trip down is fried my brain.
06:31.339 --> 06:37.901
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have to say the game in Kansas City, I'm sorry, Monday, very strange one early start time.
06:38.401 --> 06:41.102
[SPEAKER_01]: There was zero offense for the, you know, innings one through nine.
06:41.982 --> 06:51.844
[SPEAKER_01]: Shut up, shut up baseball, do you back said plenty of opportunities, uh, at least they had some opportunities in this one, especially it was a bullpen game for pretty much every single one of these games in this series, unfortunately.
06:51.864 --> 06:58.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I mean, Derrick Law, Cabrera, Clark Garcia, just Martinez, Corrio, and said, Tana, all combined in this one.
06:58.286 --> 07:03.487
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, one of those names out of that group was the only one that allowed any kind of runs there, uh, as, uh,
07:03.927 --> 07:05.628
[SPEAKER_01]: The 10th inning is where all the action happened.
07:06.129 --> 07:10.332
[SPEAKER_01]: The dvx scored one, obviously, or all their runs in the 10th inning off of Craig Kimball.
07:10.372 --> 07:14.535
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I don't know why teams think like Craig Kimball can get anybody on the team out, because he can't.
07:15.076 --> 07:20.360
[SPEAKER_01]: But dvx put a five in the top of the 10th their own Monday after both teams went to score list through the first nine.
07:20.920 --> 07:22.780
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're all sitting there like, man, five run lead.
07:22.800 --> 07:26.621
[SPEAKER_01]: This should be an easy win, we can throw somebody out there to get the quick final three outs.
07:26.681 --> 07:30.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe give up that ghost runner or two, doesn't matter, should be a nice easy win here.
07:30.622 --> 07:34.403
[SPEAKER_01]: We can, you know, kind of relaxed, but unfortunately, the Royals also decided, you know what?
07:34.963 --> 07:42.324
[SPEAKER_01]: What you did, I want to do as well, as they became just an absolute juggered out of that and anyone, Corrio, didn't help things out.
07:42.344 --> 07:45.005
[SPEAKER_01]: He continued to have a little bit of a walk issue.
07:45.585 --> 07:48.986
[SPEAKER_01]: And even when he wasn't walking, he was just a lot of the stuff that's kind of missing over the middle of the play and the Royals
07:50.886 --> 08:02.911
[SPEAKER_01]: As a seller of Perez did have a basis clearing triple to make it five to four d-backs with the time run at second base, but then of course Dennis Santana who's been a phenomenal picker for the d-backs comes in and gets the last two outs that he needs.
08:03.471 --> 08:13.955
[SPEAKER_01]: A lot of our heart pressures were way too high, it was a very stressful time, you know sitting here like while the d-back fine score runs and the one time the bullpen can lock it down are we really going to blow this lead thankfully.
08:14.535 --> 08:21.998
[SPEAKER_01]: That did not come to fruition and the D-Bast win this one five to four, which was a very big win because the Apodras also ended up being the national's that day.
08:22.578 --> 08:28.960
[SPEAKER_01]: So after Monday they continue to stay in that third place in the National League World card by one half a game over the podcast.
08:28.980 --> 08:29.480
[SPEAKER_01]: So Brandon
08:30.080 --> 08:38.644
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, on to you, we're kind of stuck at you on, you know, that Monday Labor Day game, whether be the first nine inning is a bullpen that was really solid, especially just Martinez.
08:39.004 --> 08:51.850
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you've been pitching an inch and made a joke that that was the longest scoreboard velocity check in history where he just threw one or three by the last hit or the inning and just stared at the scoreboard for, fell like, 10, 15 seconds, which is just absolute aura from our legend, just Martinez.
08:52.610 --> 09:04.718
[SPEAKER_01]: Or any of the names, whether it's the D-Bax offense there or not of Marino, could tell Marta having a pretty dull, solid series so far on this one too, we'll kind of stuck out two in that five to four extra innings just roll a coaster right of emotions.
09:06.497 --> 09:23.641
[SPEAKER_02]: the fact that it was score list, I'm pretty sure that the line from the actual game eight and a half runs, which is just mind-boggling like if you bet on the game, you're like, oh, it's zero zero, I took the under after not many things.
09:23.881 --> 09:24.441
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'm good.
09:24.461 --> 09:26.061
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to score one chance.
09:26.161 --> 09:26.801
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to be good.
09:27.321 --> 09:30.762
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's quarter nine combined runs in the 10
09:36.875 --> 09:40.733
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe I've both marked it somewhere like that had like an effort.
09:41.847 --> 09:47.348
[SPEAKER_02]: happened, I got a member of the book market, a mine, or no, I was on the deep backstitch.
09:47.388 --> 09:48.208
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I'll do it.
09:48.349 --> 09:53.910
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, there was just some creative, there was some crazy stuff.
09:54.470 --> 10:08.213
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, from Sarah Langs, the Dom backs Royal's game is the third game, at least the original era in 1669, to be the oldest student, Iron Man innings, and with each team having school at least four runs joining, he was sitting in Oakland back in
10:14.058 --> 10:18.267
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a mind-boggling stat to me.
10:18.928 --> 10:22.576
[SPEAKER_02]: That is beyond crazy to me.
10:23.337 --> 10:23.497
[SPEAKER_02]: Um.
10:24.223 --> 10:25.824
[SPEAKER_02]: We won the game, that's all that matters.
10:26.645 --> 10:30.829
[SPEAKER_02]: True, but watching this career, I was like, I'm done.
10:31.129 --> 10:33.691
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, what do you do against Pittsburgh?
10:34.492 --> 10:36.754
[SPEAKER_02]: You appreciate you very much for what you did there.
10:37.054 --> 10:37.895
[SPEAKER_02]: And you were really good.
10:38.276 --> 10:39.497
[SPEAKER_02]: And you got sent down.
10:39.617 --> 10:42.059
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you came back up, you just not despair.
10:42.099 --> 10:42.980
[SPEAKER_02]: You weren't just saying.
10:43.640 --> 10:46.343
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's definitely a bummer to see.
10:47.203 --> 10:48.344
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very curious.
10:49.744 --> 10:50.905
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened?
10:51.366 --> 10:54.929
[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's got to be, I don't think it's mechanics.
10:55.450 --> 10:56.371
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's that.
10:56.431 --> 11:02.196
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's something else going on because he wasn't down that long.
11:02.256 --> 11:03.157
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he came back up.
11:03.177 --> 11:04.358
[SPEAKER_02]: I think like two weeks later.
11:11.118 --> 11:18.062
[SPEAKER_02]: So, and then, yeah, I just, Justin Martinez is, it's so my gotty's so good, so good.
11:18.882 --> 11:24.345
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven games, six and two thirds, whoops a little high, but he does have eight strikeouts.
11:24.665 --> 11:28.227
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's striking out a batter or appearance.
11:28.507 --> 11:29.528
[SPEAKER_02]: He's still in no by the way.
11:30.869 --> 11:34.170
[SPEAKER_02]: He got a second one of the season in this game.
11:34.350 --> 11:38.653
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I'm hoping that we're getting to that point
11:41.612 --> 11:44.893
[SPEAKER_02]: That is, we could have you one two three.
11:46.773 --> 12:01.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I know a lot of of us were begging for anybody, but what we got, but hey, you know, kind of he said Monday, they got the technically, in their second attempt, got the job done, which will definitely touch around here in a minute, but man, it was a, it was definitely a wild game that I'm Monday on the point of career.
12:02.176 --> 12:06.316
[SPEAKER_01]: I do agree that I think that, you know, it was a right call to send them back down.
12:06.876 --> 12:08.397
[SPEAKER_01]: The first time they did it, it was unfortunate.
12:08.417 --> 12:09.637
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, man, I feel like this guy,
12:10.437 --> 12:36.468
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... is just a phenomenal reliever felt like it just because of the bullpen is there is going to be one guy that shouldn't have been sent down that was sent down unfortunately that was him at the time come back up i might disagree i think there is something mechanical and when i say mechanical i don't mean like all day the the pitching staff like you know the coaches to be something we're like oh hey do this because obviously they really need to do much i think it's him just at the time just kind of overthrowing and whether it's you know he's
12:37.328 --> 12:40.289
[SPEAKER_01]: extending weird whether he's just got a different release point.
12:40.409 --> 12:51.954
[SPEAKER_01]: I truly think it's something mechanical because I mean, a guy like him, the career that he's had, I don't think he'd be too, you know, bothered by the amount of time being sent up and down as he has, just because of how many teams he's been on in his career, the minor leagues.
12:52.434 --> 12:54.876
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it was just more of whatever it was mechanical.
12:54.896 --> 12:56.657
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it was the D-back themselves cause it.
12:56.677 --> 13:00.339
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think the coaching staff went through and like, hey, it changes part of your delivery and all this.
13:00.459 --> 13:12.626
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think, you know, kind of like sometimes what happens is, you know, maybe maybe he was favoring some part of his back and was pitching a different way or in general maybe it was just, you know, gotten his own head and that lead, led to him being like, oh, cool.
13:12.686 --> 13:16.589
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to release the ball a little bit more down here, a little bit more forward, a little more back.
13:16.629 --> 13:18.250
[SPEAKER_01]: And the next thing, you know, just spirals into,
13:18.810 --> 13:22.192
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, you fix what's not broken and next thing you know a lot of things start breaking.
13:22.832 --> 13:28.596
[SPEAKER_01]: But then also on the point of just Martinez, I mean, there's a reason why I was collecting his cards for a long time.
13:28.636 --> 13:30.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been a big believer in just Martinez.
13:30.057 --> 13:31.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad the world started to see it as well.
13:32.058 --> 13:43.184
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if you think there's a, I know a Steve Ashman is very chronically online, like Twitter, like I know our boy gave in the chat here tuning on in, and the only person who can be JMR is the self which 100% true.
13:43.764 --> 13:45.345
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes it's just the control issues.
13:45.405 --> 13:46.206
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not many hitters.
13:46.266 --> 13:47.106
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's got
13:48.607 --> 14:09.738
[SPEAKER_01]: Less than 100 batting average against his splitter in the his career in the majors like people just can't touch that pitch And when his other pitches aren't really located well, it makes this splitter a little bit easier to lay off But when he's locating well, it's just absolutely disgusting and I would love to have him, you know Continue to get some more back to back some high leverage, but understandably coming off a Tommy John.
14:09.898 --> 14:12.600
[SPEAKER_01]: I think his second is a career They're gonna slow roll a little bit more
14:13.400 --> 14:38.460
[SPEAKER_01]: Which any other season that would be like do we need J. Mar in as many high-level situations this year We can least afford it a little bit Obviously in the last week or so, maybe not as much because how bad or how much the both ends being used with how many bullpen games have been doing But definitely I think we're gonna see him get some more high-level situations going forward because yeah like you said Tuesday I think all of us were like, I don't care if you pitch yesterday I don't care whatever it is throw him back out there Please we're baking for but it was a
14:39.000 --> 14:40.301
[SPEAKER_01]: Very strange game there on Monday.
14:40.321 --> 14:44.684
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of props also deserve to go to Cabrera as well.
14:44.704 --> 14:46.825
[SPEAKER_01]: I know a Derek Lock, Cabrera.
14:47.105 --> 14:50.387
[SPEAKER_01]: The bullpen itself, I mean, Taylor Clark had pretty, you know, pretty solid outing.
14:51.028 --> 14:52.749
[SPEAKER_01]: They just continue to be solid.
14:52.769 --> 14:57.292
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Brian Garcia, Brian with the, like, Braden Garcia, telling you, my brain's fried.
14:58.292 --> 15:04.416
[SPEAKER_01]: The bullpen itself just outside of Cario deserves a lot of credit, especially Dennis Santana for coming in, especially that beautiful three-two slider.
15:04.436 --> 15:07.038
[SPEAKER_01]: That was just perfectly placed for the final out of the game.
15:07.458 --> 15:10.628
[SPEAKER_01]: So everybody about Korea and that bullpen is really a lot of praise on this one because
15:11.732 --> 15:14.454
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, when your offense isn't scoring any runs, it's really tough.
15:14.474 --> 15:22.278
[SPEAKER_01]: I think even Gabe mentioned in our text group chat that you're basically having the both and need to be perfect for the entire game and they promote chat to.
15:22.878 --> 15:25.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, outside of Korea, they didn't allow any kind of runs.
15:25.800 --> 15:38.327
[SPEAKER_01]: They were as nails as you could ask for, but that just isn't going to, is going to work every single game, especially as we saw in Wednesdays game three, that you need the offense to kind of, you know, carry their, carry their load a little bit more than they happen as a play.
15:40.130 --> 15:53.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I do at least want to shout out, I know I shouted out a game of the chat, I also want to shout out Justin Justin Sam, I'm watching football and listening to you guys, we appreciate that Justin, I know a lot of people probably watching the the divisional matchup in I think it's what they're playing in Australia right now.
15:53.273 --> 15:54.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's not right 100.
15:54.814 --> 15:56.574
[SPEAKER_01]: No warning in Australia.
15:57.255 --> 16:03.316
[SPEAKER_01]: So in the land down under is where they're playing the games we appreciate anybody that might be tuning on in as Justin as well.
16:03.356 --> 16:04.516
[SPEAKER_01]: So appreciate everybody.
16:07.203 --> 16:34.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Very strange game of Monday and then we're sitting there on Tuesday like you know what we all have a good news coming in but roller coasters we just cannot have a single game without roller coaster emotions and we got not just one but we got two of them here in this one as going into Tuesday's game the debaq's got a nice surprise will not surprise we all knew it's going to happen but it was a very sore sore was a good site for sore eyes untill I mean my brain's just
16:36.010 --> 16:42.073
[SPEAKER_01]: But Quorum Burns made his major league appearance on the mound for the first time in over 400 and I think 60 something days.
16:42.713 --> 16:46.855
[SPEAKER_01]: First start for the D-back sentences, start last year against the Nationals when he did it, but I'm going to get Tommy John.
16:47.415 --> 16:51.417
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, we knew he wouldn't be going long, three innings, two hits, two walks, two strikeouts.
16:51.717 --> 16:58.259
[SPEAKER_01]: They mentioned in multiple terms of the broadcast, the one thing that's going to be lacking a little bit compared to everything else is just control.
16:58.379 --> 17:02.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that happens with every pitcher coming back from Tommy John, is that they don't really have the feel for most of their pitches yet.
17:04.622 --> 17:08.124
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a pretty solid outing for core and burns, I don't think anybody is upset about what happened.
17:09.044 --> 17:12.686
[SPEAKER_01]: Then the rest of the bullpen, once again, I mean, this is just backed by games with a bullpen game.
17:13.306 --> 17:14.447
[SPEAKER_01]: Strow a little bit wild.
17:14.467 --> 17:16.988
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd have two walks, but he was able to work around some damage there.
17:17.008 --> 17:18.268
[SPEAKER_01]: And fortunately, he got sent back down again.
17:18.288 --> 17:21.750
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think we're ever going to see him up here for more than a day or two at this point.
17:22.230 --> 17:26.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Kevin Ginkl could use to be pre-sold in inning in a third year a back down under four now.
17:26.871 --> 17:32.053
[SPEAKER_01]: To solve Dennis Santana once again, I mean one inning struck out the side that in all three battles that he saw.
17:32.093 --> 17:38.255
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just discussing Johnny LaZania, LaWazaga continues up phenomenal season, a 2.43 ERA.
17:38.755 --> 17:40.736
[SPEAKER_01]: The defense also helped him out there and this one a little bit.
17:40.756 --> 17:44.297
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Timothy Tau, I made a couple of nice diving grounds, especially one in next year innings.
17:44.617 --> 17:48.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Could tell him I'd say it had a couple of nice places as well as the offense in this one in general.
17:49.038 --> 17:59.464
[SPEAKER_01]: Once again, it wasn't able to do a lot, but thankfully they broke through there as in the eighth inning, a little Katelmartais single, Gabby Rano single again, Katelmartais, and a third and then a hurl to put on a sack flag at them on the board.
17:59.844 --> 18:07.289
[SPEAKER_01]: Tawha, add a little bit more insurance there in the ninth inning to make it two nothing debacks, and we're sitting there watching Warrieo come in and we're like, all right, you know what?
18:07.809 --> 18:12.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Warrieo, gonna lock this down, we're gonna have a nice big win here too.
18:12.892 --> 18:15.954
[SPEAKER_01]: Once again, keep our at least half game lead and maybe even go up a little bit bigger.
18:17.283 --> 18:27.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Get the two outs, John Rave steps in and got it has, I think, like three career home runs and Rio just left on one nothing to change up hanging a little bit more over the play than I imagined anybody wanted.
18:27.811 --> 18:32.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And John Rave tied it with one swing of the bat, which is very, very unfortunate to see.
18:32.755 --> 18:42.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So once again, we head on to extra innings, we're in the top of the 10th of the D-backs, we're able to clutch up and get a run to score because of A, I'm gonna double check really quick.
18:42.202 --> 18:44.324
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was the run scored on,
18:45.144 --> 19:07.339
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I think it was the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the
19:14.363 --> 19:28.554
[SPEAKER_01]: unfortunately doesn't do it he did he did have the bases loaded he was able to work out of the jam and keep things tied going into the eleventh inning which was huge and that's where the d-vex thanks to a little bit weird weird defensive you know positioning and defensive play from the royals.
19:29.155 --> 19:38.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Lorda scuriles junior actually did something for once the corpse of Lorda's got a RBI double that turned into a triple because of the air got him on the board and then could tell Marta came through.
19:38.742 --> 19:43.266
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah so they're staying from a triple originally to double an
19:44.831 --> 19:46.352
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's officially a double end of the night.
19:46.813 --> 19:58.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I say it was a triple which even then I was like I feel like that should have maybe been a single with like an error, but you know what, it helps the boost Lord is, you know, stats to maybe have some team willing to trade for him or we can help them the all season I'm okay with it.
19:59.363 --> 20:04.006
[SPEAKER_01]: But he gives the div actually the not one that could tell Marta a huge insurance sack fly right there.
20:04.407 --> 20:07.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And then of course, because the bullpen was so gasplac lost and being a former starter.
20:08.550 --> 20:20.437
[SPEAKER_01]: he was going to go out there no matter what winter lose we're going to we're going to die by Blake whilst in or succeed by Blake whilst in and thankfully there in the bottom of the 11th he just was absolute nails.
20:21.518 --> 20:37.328
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean struck out a couple of batters was really solid and it was great to see the emotion from them as well after locking down the save which I know in our just where we brought up not often do you see a guy blow a save and then get the win in the very next outing so he didn't want the save he just wanted the win to go on to his record
20:37.988 --> 20:40.330
[SPEAKER_01]: going forward because he was like, you know what, saves were overrated.
20:40.350 --> 20:41.290
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all about wins, baby.
20:41.330 --> 20:42.831
[SPEAKER_01]: It's all about wins, baby.
20:43.372 --> 20:50.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say once again, another roller coaster of a game from the D-backs on this one, but wins are all that matters the other day.
20:50.977 --> 20:56.401
[SPEAKER_01]: And they get another win here, winning the series in Kansas City, sitting themselves up for a potential sweep on Wednesday.
20:56.521 --> 21:02.065
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think the big storyline to this one outside of the bullpen, outside of, you know, the theatres there and the extra things.
21:02.485 --> 21:05.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, was the man returning on the bump in Corbin Burns.
21:05.907 --> 21:11.953
[SPEAKER_01]: As I mentioned before, everybody knew that this would not be a, oh, he's going to go five innings, maybe more, depending on how it's going.
21:12.373 --> 21:19.821
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew it'd be very limited three innings, 60 pitches hard cap, like if he is facing a batter in the middle that they're going to take him out, they're not letting me go any further.
21:21.128 --> 21:23.249
[SPEAKER_01]: But in general, what were your thoughts on core and burns?
21:23.269 --> 21:24.210
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you like from it?
21:24.230 --> 21:30.013
[SPEAKER_01]: What, you know, obviously, do you think that is something that we can see to have them improve on between now and the next start?
21:30.413 --> 21:36.236
[SPEAKER_01]: And thoughts in general, just having back the ace of the team or at least what should be the ace of the team, especially going on at 2027 to be on.
21:38.653 --> 21:40.934
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just good to see him back.
21:41.454 --> 21:45.996
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that we were like, he was supposed to come back around the All-Star Break.
21:46.456 --> 21:48.937
[SPEAKER_02]: He had a setback, but it wasn't did to his elbow.
21:49.437 --> 21:50.558
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a shoulder injury.
21:51.098 --> 21:54.700
[SPEAKER_02]: So that set him another two months.
21:55.360 --> 22:00.222
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, to the point, are we going to see Colman Burns back?
22:01.462 --> 22:03.283
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, is he got in fetching this season?
22:03.463 --> 22:05.584
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it was very up in the air.
22:05.964 --> 22:07.344
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was great to see him back.
22:08.945 --> 22:13.627
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he said, as coming back from Tommy Dond don't feel for some other pitches and tell.
22:14.227 --> 22:16.168
[SPEAKER_02]: Carmel, he did not have the feel for it.
22:16.208 --> 22:20.989
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's the one pitch that stood up to me that he just, he was struggling with.
22:21.069 --> 22:24.911
[SPEAKER_02]: But his, and velocity was a little bit down, but,
22:26.291 --> 22:28.734
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not worried about that, like it's his first or back.
22:29.194 --> 22:31.056
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like basically freeing training.
22:31.717 --> 22:37.903
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, do we really want him to be gone full bore, like 100% or the bat?
22:38.464 --> 22:41.387
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we just want him to focus on just having a good outing.
22:41.467 --> 22:41.747
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
22:43.964 --> 23:10.420
[SPEAKER_02]: I live open full 60 and that's what probably the team was hoping for but he had a very taxing second and third we threw like 20 plus pitches in both that and so once he finished at 57 I'm like yeah he's done he's done after three and like it was solid day new definitely things to work on for sure hope that that is next out in
23:12.268 --> 23:39.271
[SPEAKER_02]: uh maybe we get it up to 70 75 maybe we can get them to 55 um so we'll just have the wait and see um but no it's really great to see Corbin Burns back um because yeah he he listen I love Eduardo Rodriguez but Corbin versus these like if Corbin Burns was at
23:42.488 --> 24:06.842
[SPEAKER_02]: Then over 80 million over four years Corbin's getting what 200 million over his six like there's yeah there's a reason Corbin's getting paid the money he is Yeah, definitely definitely is Decent and I has been like don't look but it's overall stats like because What it was doing with Pittsburgh wasn't that great but his last seven has a 1.35 ERA and seven games with a
24:11.341 --> 24:13.402
[SPEAKER_02]: and I strike out in an under one whip.
24:15.043 --> 24:21.365
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing, like there's another guy in that back end of the bullpen that they can use in a high-leveled situation.
24:21.445 --> 24:35.311
[SPEAKER_02]: Like we have a lot, it's so weird because the last few scenes, I would say that we really didn't have a lot of high-sublish positive in high-leveled situations.
24:36.091 --> 24:38.292
[SPEAKER_02]: But this year, I feel like we have
24:40.302 --> 24:42.543
[SPEAKER_01]: What, at least four?
24:43.363 --> 24:48.605
[SPEAKER_01]: And what, Mario, this is our CEO, LaZania, you can throw in.
24:48.665 --> 24:49.325
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
24:50.365 --> 24:52.546
[SPEAKER_01]: J. Mar, I would say he's like teeter than on the edge there.
24:52.566 --> 24:56.567
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, do you really want to like, you know, obviously the team's not going to put him any high-level situations yet.
24:57.227 --> 25:02.089
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say you got, Mario Garcia, who else could you throw in there?
25:02.249 --> 25:02.489
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean,
25:03.449 --> 25:26.247
[SPEAKER_01]: If there's really not many other names on my head a couple of weeks ago, you could say Korea, but obviously we saw how that went Yeah, at least I feel like you're least four, which is kind of strange to say Like it's it's very strange though like Taylor Clark you could throw him in there potentially Yeah, I didn't j-mar so what four to five plus people you out in the Santana make it six Absolutely cinema absolute cinema
25:27.113 --> 25:47.545
[SPEAKER_02]: like literally the entire bullpen you can throw in high like you don't like we don't I wouldn't say we have rolls necessarily you just know you just have dogs very good guys that that can get the job done like we've seen Ginkl pitch in the 8th and 9th we've seen on person of fourth fifth and 6th
25:49.449 --> 25:56.474
[SPEAKER_02]: like these guys just working use them in any situation and that is such a luxury to have.
25:56.794 --> 26:13.005
[SPEAKER_02]: Something that we have not had, probably ever under my case in maybe before that, but definitely not in the my case in Tori, LeBelo era, for sure, having multiple guys back there that you can throw in high-level situations.
26:13.745 --> 26:18.288
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's great to see that we're not losing games
26:20.528 --> 26:44.862
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the kind of he said not many years in the my case in areas have you been able to be this confident maybe a year or two here There's a solid name like I know Archie Bradley before being adopted by Matt Kemp, and I think the 2018 season With that horrendous collapse in September like he was really solid in 2017 and even the 2018 like there's been a few solid pieces here in there But there's never been a unit this strong for the debux in their bullpen where as you said
26:46.083 --> 26:55.172
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we've been in vocal about here on this podcast since we started where it's very crucial to have a certified closer because it lets anyone else slot into their roles.
26:55.513 --> 27:00.858
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the one year I think is the outlier to that because, as you mentioned, you can use anybody in pretty much any scenario.
27:00.898 --> 27:02.099
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to go to a bullpen game.
27:02.139 --> 27:07.365
[SPEAKER_01]: You can use guys like Derek Law or Dennis Santana a little bit earlier if you need to tailor Clark and go to earlier.
27:08.045 --> 27:18.033
[SPEAKER_01]: Or if you want you can use Taylor Clark later the game you can use Brandon Garcia whenever you need him whether it's in the 7th inning or the 9th inning if you got a tough lefty That's what you got to go with Maria can be using the 7th 8th 9th inning.
27:18.053 --> 27:18.914
[SPEAKER_01]: You know you got more teams.
27:18.954 --> 27:22.176
[SPEAKER_01]: I can be using any of those innings like this is a bullpen that
27:23.397 --> 27:42.880
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's pretty much just a, all right, which which, as you mentioned, which one of you dogs is ready to go out there and you know, get the job done, because, I mean, looking at the, especially at the game there on Monday, uh, Derek Law obviously is shorter sample size, but him and the, uh, Dennis Santana, both have like a 1, 3, 5, YRA, uh, send short, like, or lower since we're in the D-backs.
27:42.900 --> 27:43.681
[SPEAKER_01]: So they've been really solved.
27:44.001 --> 27:49.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Clark season here is either, ERA is down to the 2, 45, Garcia is that 2, 08, uh, I think LeWise goes at 2, 40,
27:51.542 --> 28:05.745
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of the strongest units I've ever seen, and we can mention it from which every series how this bullpen is the NVP, the reason this team is even in the playoff hunt currently, because this offense has seen a major regression that's here compared to the last two years, which we were expecting.
28:05.885 --> 28:18.908
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew that signing erinata, which if you were to tell me in spring training, no-nerinata would lead this team in home runs, I think every divest in would call you crazy, but no-nerinata is going to hit maybe like how many games under 500 are we at this point?
28:19.328 --> 28:41.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're like, well, a 10 to 15 home runs did all the important and like, you know, clutch players on this team die at some point like my god, but now he's been he's been a blessing, but you know, when you kind of get some major playing time from a little more of Vargas and Tim Talwa in, like again, Jordan Muller, I still think it's phenomenal, but there's not a much pop in the plant that has been in the last couple years.
28:42.463 --> 28:45.325
[SPEAKER_01]: So we kind of expected the offense to downturn a little bit, but this will open has been,
28:45.985 --> 28:47.106
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, phenomenal for them.
28:47.446 --> 28:52.189
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw that in Monday and we saw that here on Tuesday as that's two bullpen games.
28:52.489 --> 29:05.318
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to count Wednesday, technically three in just a series and in the last what's seven days, you've seen four or five games where the bullpen has had to go a, you know, majority or if not the entire game, I know we do want to get to fill these.
29:06.579 --> 29:21.590
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it's just no matter who's being called upon, they're coming up on a clutch situation and he had the job done, but going back to the main point here of game two, corn burns, I think that as you said, don't wanna see him go out there, you know, go in full 100%, I don't think he would've even done himself.
29:21.890 --> 29:26.854
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's touch, I think around 94, which I know when we signed him, he was hitting like 98 on some of his pitches.
29:27.495 --> 29:32.939
[SPEAKER_01]: Not like his 99 days when he was a brewer and an orial, but definitely a solid sign is first down
29:34.540 --> 29:39.030
[SPEAKER_01]: As you mentioned, there's a couple of long abats, and they won from Salvador Perez, where he made it for like 10 pitches.
29:39.050 --> 29:41.856
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they have any past Magino, how to feel like.
29:43.525 --> 29:48.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know the the past squash time for like 10, 11 pitches, whatever it was that led and do double.
29:48.486 --> 30:00.429
[SPEAKER_01]: So there was a chance for him to go a little bit further into the game, maybe the fourth inning, but obviously with some some long A B's like that it cut a little bit short, but yeah, next outing maybe 70 75 pitches maybe go fourth in the fifth inning.
30:01.369 --> 30:09.391
[SPEAKER_01]: And just you know, continue to be core burns because he's going to be a picture that we need going forward, especially considering where this bolt or this starting rotation has been.
30:10.271 --> 30:16.777
[SPEAKER_01]: and especially a guy that we'll talk about here in a minute that made his return to the mound as well in game three.
30:16.817 --> 30:22.322
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to score in burns to be as core in burns asks we can possibly ask for for the rest of season.
30:22.362 --> 30:23.823
[SPEAKER_01]: But hey, it wins a win.
30:24.304 --> 30:31.450
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, going into a win today, once again, what's more frustrating about this win is after that roller coaster like, wow, great win.
30:32.371 --> 30:37.592
[SPEAKER_01]: We look at the scoreboard, the nationals are at 4-1 on the podries and the bottom of the eighth inning, we're like holy shit.
30:38.013 --> 30:42.394
[SPEAKER_01]: We might be able to actually go up a game and half over the podries here.
30:42.454 --> 30:43.954
[SPEAKER_01]: This is amazing.
30:44.894 --> 30:47.795
[SPEAKER_01]: The nationals bullpen continues to be the most dog chip bullpen.
30:47.815 --> 30:53.737
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they actually broke and set the record for the most like blown saves or blown leads in the sports history.
30:54.377 --> 30:56.178
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're just a generationally bad bullpen.
30:56.198 --> 31:20.849
[SPEAKER_01]: They let the Padres not only tie the game up, but go on and win the game As I know that broke a lot of our hearts watching watching a home, which is very unfortunate So that's why I made when say even bigger because both the D-backs and the Padres looking for a sweep So the D-backs can complete the sweep We've once again at least remain a half game up on the Padres on worst case scenario be a half game behind them and As we speak and fortunately that is the scenario that came to as
31:22.310 --> 31:27.816
[SPEAKER_01]: Zach Allen making his return to the bump and I know Gaby made the joke in our group chat.
31:27.836 --> 31:32.221
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, Zach Allen makes his return threat because uh that nobody wants to see that.
31:32.301 --> 31:37.426
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I still like Zach Allen is a person but I'm sorry it's just his stuff is not good.
31:37.466 --> 31:40.590
[SPEAKER_01]: If velocity was down, his location still seems to be an issue.
31:41.010 --> 31:43.953
[SPEAKER_01]: He just cannot get much swing and miss if at all any
31:45.054 --> 31:49.338
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's not going to play, I mean, even in the minor leagues in Reno, we saw it wasn't getting much swing and miss.
31:49.859 --> 31:54.583
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you expect from the face actually, you know, good teams and the royals aren't even going to have the strongest offense?
31:54.843 --> 32:00.488
[SPEAKER_01]: Could you imagine that down in a playoff series going up against the cubs or the fillies, like two really strong offenses?
32:00.728 --> 32:03.629
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even want to imagine the possibilities if that's going down.
32:04.029 --> 32:07.490
[SPEAKER_01]: Even against the podries, he probably sucked, but we're in three and a third in this one.
32:07.550 --> 32:10.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Four hits, two walks, one strike out, one home run.
32:10.551 --> 32:15.092
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, I think there was even a broadcast check, so I'm like, oh, wow, this guy hasn't done anything this entire series.
32:15.132 --> 32:17.073
[SPEAKER_01]: He gives it a home run on a fast one, on the middle.
32:17.713 --> 32:19.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And then another guy returning from injury.
32:19.734 --> 32:22.935
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew the plan here would be Galen and then going to Soroka, Soroka.
32:23.895 --> 32:28.138
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the worst line, four innings, three hits, three runs, one walk, four strikeouts.
32:28.679 --> 32:32.742
[SPEAKER_01]: The three are in runs, we're unfortunately because Bobby with a junior in one of the best sports offs in the sport.
32:33.142 --> 32:41.008
[SPEAKER_01]: He left a pitch that, I mean, even Dave, me, you, Brandon, if you were hearing my voice, I'm pretty sure a good majority of us could have hit that ball.
32:41.348 --> 32:46.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not as far as Bobby with a junior did, but I'm pretty sure anybody at home could have at least put a pretty salt swing on and barrel it up.
32:47.392 --> 32:55.340
[SPEAKER_01]: As I think it was a slurve, just like right on AT, it was like an analby to show auto pitch when you set down your controller for too long, and they just have a pitch right on the middle.
32:55.681 --> 33:03.889
[SPEAKER_01]: That's basically what happened, and Bobby would do in your golfed it, gave them the three run lead that they're looking for, broke that two to two time, and unfortunately the D-backs.
33:04.249 --> 33:28.017
[SPEAKER_01]: While they did have some other opportunities in this one, you know, multiple times with the Rosen Square position, just yet again, could not get anything done, as they went one for nine with Risp in this game, and just had a few heartbreaking meetings there, especially there in the ninth inning, get, you know, the first two runners on, and like, you know what, maybe we can have some magic, strikeout, double play in the game, and we're all, you know, sitting there sad because we are now looking on the outside in at the wild card race.
33:28.977 --> 33:35.962
[SPEAKER_01]: Brandon, kind of like we talked about in game 2, game 3, the main thing we want to talk about is the return to the mound for a devack starting pitcher.
33:36.342 --> 33:39.884
[SPEAKER_01]: Technically within this one we got two as Zach Allen and Sero coming back.
33:40.384 --> 33:42.646
[SPEAKER_01]: What are your thoughts in general on, especially as Zach Allen?
33:43.166 --> 33:45.608
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you want to throw some opinions on Seroca, which
33:46.088 --> 33:47.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, we've already gotten a lot of saroka.
33:48.170 --> 33:49.351
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a set about that one.
33:49.451 --> 33:52.113
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just sometimes going to happen to the best hitter on that team.
33:52.513 --> 33:53.354
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it is what it is.
33:53.414 --> 33:55.375
[SPEAKER_01]: But what are your thoughts in general on Zach Allen's return?
33:55.735 --> 33:56.736
[SPEAKER_01]: How do he look to you?
33:56.816 --> 33:58.898
[SPEAKER_01]: What was a little bit of a concern for his first start?
33:58.938 --> 34:00.419
[SPEAKER_01]: Since what was it June?
34:00.699 --> 34:01.860
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe May, I'm trying to remember.
34:02.861 --> 34:05.403
[SPEAKER_01]: What kind of stuck out to you in that outing for a good old milkman?
34:06.724 --> 34:08.585
[SPEAKER_01]: In fact, he refused to always fast.
34:09.920 --> 34:15.006
[SPEAKER_02]: He had no confidence on his fastball in this outing.
34:15.446 --> 34:24.335
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it was like, and I'm sorry, if you're gonna be a starting pitcher, you have to have a fastball.
34:24.516 --> 34:29.221
[SPEAKER_02]: You just have to really, because that's gotta be the upset that you throw.
34:30.551 --> 34:57.948
[SPEAKER_02]: will you're down to oh three oh like just get I get me over a fastball and in this outing he just he had no confidence with it oh it was definitely a worrisome for me like something that kind of stood out um I just don't know what the reasoning on it was was it
34:59.360 --> 35:00.180
[SPEAKER_02]: game plan.
35:01.441 --> 35:03.421
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I threw it nine times.
35:03.481 --> 35:04.502
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the TAPs.
35:05.862 --> 35:10.083
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he threw a slider 25 times.
35:10.164 --> 35:21.107
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that's a really high, um, um, uh, just a drill for where or sentence.
35:21.127 --> 35:22.807
[SPEAKER_02]: Like 37% of his pitch is where it's slider.
35:23.908 --> 35:25.728
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's been using it honestly, so much this year.
35:25.788 --> 35:27.589
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's never, it has not been good like once.
35:28.767 --> 35:31.450
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it really hasn't.
35:31.510 --> 35:44.304
[SPEAKER_02]: So I thought overall the outing wasn't too awful like yeah he gave up a homer to a really good hitter.
35:44.424 --> 35:47.468
[SPEAKER_02]: Carter Jensen was the reigning AL player the week.
35:47.528 --> 35:50.151
[SPEAKER_02]: So like I'm not really mad at that
35:51.907 --> 36:06.039
[SPEAKER_02]: Other than that, thought he was easy, other than the fact that he refused those as well, just refused to throw it, just, I don't know why, so, sort of look at, looks pretty good.
36:06.680 --> 36:15.387
[SPEAKER_02]: He really settled it in after giving out every moment, if he didn't allow it, basically the rest of the outing, and after the game,
36:16.388 --> 36:17.789
[SPEAKER_02]: he still have more pitches to throw.
36:17.849 --> 36:20.711
[SPEAKER_02]: He went into the bullpen to finish up.
36:21.131 --> 36:24.073
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think he was still trying to stay stretched out.
36:25.234 --> 36:33.840
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm very curious if this is what the plan is going to be going forward is Zack on start and Soroka comes in to finish the game.
36:34.801 --> 36:35.942
[SPEAKER_02]: Like are we going to go with that
36:44.954 --> 36:56.257
[SPEAKER_01]: weird scenario, which again, I don't hate the idea of using both of them, you know, kind of as a bullpen-esque game, but I don't know, man.
36:56.417 --> 37:06.660
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that, I know even Red Soxon is in the chat is asking us about the question they posed in the discord, but it's in the one Nelson comes back, like, who will be gone?
37:06.680 --> 37:11.602
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, statistically, who should be gone, and who's the old one, money, and, you know, who's produced well over the last few games and all that,
37:13.921 --> 37:19.711
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, is that going to be the, you know, the odd man out just looking at how bad he's been this year, which I would agree.
37:19.912 --> 37:26.122
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the best option if you want to win baseball games in a time and September when you need to win baseball games, but
37:27.496 --> 37:32.320
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just, with the money that's owed and all that, I don't think they're going to move on from them, unfortunately.
37:32.760 --> 37:35.102
[SPEAKER_01]: But the stats do kind of just show that they do.
37:35.162 --> 37:36.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's been mentioned a bunch.
37:37.044 --> 37:42.989
[SPEAKER_01]: The over 60 IRA is the career-wresty's walking hitters at a insane rate.
37:43.009 --> 37:48.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not as much as I know last year, it's like a 3.09 walk per nine, and a 3.28 in 2024.
37:49.014 --> 37:51.656
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's just walking people a lot this year.
37:51.716 --> 37:53.798
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not striking out anybody anymore.
37:54.198 --> 37:59.261
[SPEAKER_01]: his strikeout per nine percentage is more than I think nearly half as what it was even in like 2021.
37:59.341 --> 38:00.962
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been going down as you've been going on.
38:02.202 --> 38:04.563
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not getting much swinging this when he is getting contact.
38:04.624 --> 38:10.867
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just very hard contact, which is just very unfortunate because again, I'm a big fan of that gallon I mentioned before.
38:10.907 --> 38:16.590
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that gallon, at least you know what he kind of was doing here as a as a picture for a while, but
38:17.270 --> 38:24.072
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter what, like there's no way to dice it that his stats are going to be good, like you can't make a stats look good when just it's been bad.
38:24.552 --> 38:45.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Especially as he mentioned when you're using a slider that is not a good pitch when you're using a fastball that you can't locate and you have no confidence in using that makes the rest of your repertoire not work as well because that was a big you know mentioned before that's why he was so good early on his dimex careers because his fastball location was phenomenal and then the change of which I feel like he's just abandoned and wants to throw his curveball more
38:47.077 --> 38:57.507
[SPEAKER_01]: but when you're fastball is not working good and you're throwing a slider that's horrible, hitters have a lot less than the worry about swinging out and they can focus more on one or two pitches and just dial it in.
38:57.547 --> 39:02.232
[SPEAKER_01]: But I just don't know if we're going to see any kind of changes in between now and as next start.
39:02.412 --> 39:07.256
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, as you mentioned, not the worst start possible, only two runs in the three and the third, but
39:08.077 --> 39:17.922
[SPEAKER_01]: when you look at some of the, you know, other numbers, it really doesn't show how, you know, just how piss poor he has been as a pitcher knowing this game, but as is the years going on in general.
39:18.022 --> 39:21.824
[SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know, would you rather go with another bullpen game?
39:22.104 --> 39:23.505
[SPEAKER_01]: Would you rather saroka start?
39:24.165 --> 39:29.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Or would you rather still, you know, try to attack down and hope that he doesn't put you behind the ball because with the way this offense is going.
39:30.846 --> 39:34.189
[SPEAKER_01]: You can automatically pencil in an L every single time that's at Gown as pitching.
39:34.410 --> 39:37.293
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's just that's the unfortunately the vibes that we get as fans.
39:37.613 --> 39:46.522
[SPEAKER_01]: I would not be surprised if that's the vibe that some of the offense gets where it's like, all right, you know, if Ed Wardo or Fad is going up there, just gotta get a couple runs.
39:46.562 --> 39:54.390
[SPEAKER_01]: If you Zach Gown's out there, yeah, we gotta get five plus six runs, you know, if we even want to have a fighting chance this one, that's not the kind of vibes that you want for team going forward.
39:54.951 --> 40:02.428
[SPEAKER_01]: In a time of the year where every single game is going to be absolutely crucial to win if you want to actually make it to October.
40:05.946 --> 40:14.389
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, um, I think they're going to have him start because the whole reasoning why he's putting it on and so we're looking at him.
40:14.409 --> 40:17.850
[SPEAKER_02]: The pan is, so okay, has history picking out of the bullpen.
40:17.870 --> 40:23.031
[SPEAKER_02]: So he kind of knows how to get ready and be ready to come in not the store of the game.
40:23.591 --> 40:33.554
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, but I just, with the way the parties are playing, um, it we're going to pop a game
40:36.169 --> 40:43.734
[SPEAKER_02]: What even try like why even try the rest of the games so like it's what message I'm sending to the players and fans.
40:44.554 --> 40:44.834
[SPEAKER_01]: It's out.
40:45.235 --> 40:49.677
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, we're in a position that we didn't expect to be in this year You know, it's good enough.
40:49.737 --> 40:51.258
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's it's not good enough.
40:51.939 --> 40:56.382
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just being okay with being okay and not wanting to actually be better than okay, which is
40:57.242 --> 41:04.247
[SPEAKER_01]: some of the vibes I've gotten from this team again, whether that's and we've been very critical of my cousin and his roster construction this year.
41:04.607 --> 41:11.812
[SPEAKER_01]: This could be something that's even over my cadence head because of the amount of money that maybe the ownership group and the yes again, Ken Kendrick is the owner.
41:11.912 --> 41:13.172
[SPEAKER_01]: He's just the majority owner.
41:13.213 --> 41:15.474
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be the face of the group that pretty much is the owners.
41:15.834 --> 41:16.935
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not the only one out there.
41:17.335 --> 41:20.697
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe all the ownership group was like, hey man, we're already given this guy like $20 million dollars.
41:21.838 --> 41:28.379
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't really care as long as it's making you know as long as our numbers at the end of the day look good Don't out there like where it's it's sunk costs.
41:28.539 --> 41:32.280
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care to do it which maybe that's not the case I don't know maybe that's just copia.
41:32.300 --> 41:35.421
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe this is all a haze an issue, but I'm not sure.
41:35.441 --> 41:44.443
[SPEAKER_01]: I just there are a lot of times That I wish I could be a flying the wall for those meetings between Lavolo my case in and the you know the rest of the front office and owners
41:44.843 --> 42:08.824
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I would love to see their reasoning, whoever is coming up with a reasoning to keep that going on on this team and why we haven't cut them yet, because I would want to know what they're doing unless they're just genuinely hypnotizing Hayes and then the other guys to be like, nah, it's just keep them on the team because I don't think you can actually explain any reason why at this point.
42:08.884 --> 42:10.265
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's nothing you can say, which
42:11.406 --> 42:34.662
[SPEAKER_01]: is unfortunately because even if Ryan Nelson does come back I don't think that he would slot into the rotation just because you know he hasn't had a lot of times not allowed to yeah he's not stretched out and even in Reno they've been doing him like one or two winnings at most so I feel like at this point when Ryan Nelson does come back we'll still deal with that gown and ciroka you know doing that kind of piggybacking or maybe they each get the
42:40.466 --> 43:08.507
[SPEAKER_01]: which was very unfortunate with the way they've been pitching but again it's just the one downside to the the bullpen this year with how good it's been is there's going to be somebody that doesn't deserve to be let go that's going to be let go and I would not be surprised if they make that call for a lot worse antenna let Nelson slanted the bullpen and then try to out the corpse of Zach Galen out there every single day because whether he has a stash or not he's still kind of ash cheeks but you know it is it is a nice stash I will say it that's a one positive thing I can say about Zach Galen this one is that he does have a nice
43:10.208 --> 43:37.691
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, as you know as Red Soxation saying like yes to Roca's blind in the look worse, but as the what game went on he got a lot better And it's it was only just one really unfortunate hanging knee ball of a sire that I read socks and pretty sure even you and corn barrels I'm pretty sure your kids could have put a nice swing on it to and gotten themselves a base knock off of that pitch because it was a it was a horrible horrible pitch But yeah, any other final thoughts from this game here on Wednesday the unfortunate two to five loss
43:40.416 --> 43:45.699
[SPEAKER_02]: It was a bummer, I was thirsty with what you saw a scene you could do earlier in the day.
43:46.079 --> 43:48.920
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you're like, we, like, senior year have had already won.
43:48.940 --> 43:49.681
[SPEAKER_02]: So you were tied.
43:49.701 --> 43:55.123
[SPEAKER_02]: So you really needed to, in this game, completely sweet to stay heavenen.
43:55.564 --> 43:57.405
[SPEAKER_02]: We're now a half game behind.
43:57.425 --> 43:59.486
[SPEAKER_02]: They play the Giants.
44:00.485 --> 44:01.826
[SPEAKER_02]: we play the Texas Rangers.
44:02.046 --> 44:11.772
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm hoping the giants can do us a favor and win that series because that would us out from men to Lee.
44:11.812 --> 44:12.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Who was he?
44:12.312 --> 44:12.953
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we could do.
44:13.974 --> 44:15.555
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so they've been put on.
44:15.615 --> 44:19.557
[SPEAKER_02]: Devours is just on all freaking terror right now.
44:20.017 --> 44:21.338
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, Devours is on fire.
44:22.059 --> 44:22.299
[SPEAKER_02]: So.
44:23.540 --> 44:27.461
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I think when they bring back right now, I think they're claw.
44:27.901 --> 44:31.823
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't dare hit the air claw is a player that that gets moves.
44:31.863 --> 44:33.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's it's Dennis Santana.
44:34.023 --> 44:37.845
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Dennis Santana has been to beneficial for this team.
44:37.885 --> 44:41.686
[SPEAKER_02]: Like he's come in and really clutch situations and gotten the job done.
44:42.346 --> 44:45.467
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying the air claw hasn't just saying.
44:47.427 --> 44:49.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Laugh has been less higher leverage.
44:49.608 --> 44:52.628
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been like an opener and low leverage innings here.
44:52.648 --> 44:56.109
[SPEAKER_01]: We're saying Santa has had some more medium to higher leverage outings.
44:56.550 --> 44:58.670
[SPEAKER_01]: And it is career like yes, his numbers has here been bad.
44:59.170 --> 45:01.131
[SPEAKER_01]: And his previous career as a pirate heating.
45:01.151 --> 45:02.871
[SPEAKER_01]: He used a former closer for Pittsburgh.
45:02.931 --> 45:05.052
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a lot of higher levered downings where his deracle
45:05.792 --> 45:32.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, he especially his last year as a in the major leagues was in 2024 for the Nationals he did pitch 90 innings and he had a 2.6 year array, but I think just when you look at the innings there alone I think he's definitely more of a you know early to middle relief kind of pitcher and I don't think we need any any of those Loved in this bullpen and it's just again Zach Allen should be the guy that's like go But if we're being realistic, so unfortunately probably to be Derek Klaw, which maybe we can bring you back next year
45:35.016 --> 45:45.056
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say it's a yeah, I'm going to be a strange strange time as a we do have a harder schedule compared to the podgers going forward that much harder to be honest.
45:47.934 --> 46:11.388
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's like I think they're scheduled the opponents have a combined like four point or point four stakes point percentage we have like a point four nine so it's really not that big of a difference, but it is it is something to keep in mind especially you know The the hope of the giants can continue to say hi and maybe we can catch the Rangers with the Rangers do of course You're back, so thankfully we don't have policy wall two throw many meatballs in this time around, but
46:12.008 --> 46:20.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it just a very unfortunate as you mentioned to be able to, or not being able to take advantage of the weaker series and stay a half game ahead.
46:21.041 --> 46:25.908
[SPEAKER_01]: But the positive way to look about it is I know we've been focused on the podgers last month or two.
46:27.328 --> 46:30.811
[SPEAKER_01]: The fillies and the cubs have been cool and off a little bit.
46:30.831 --> 46:32.712
[SPEAKER_01]: The fillies are only five and five and the last ten.
46:33.072 --> 46:34.894
[SPEAKER_01]: The cubs have dropped four games in row.
46:35.334 --> 46:40.358
[SPEAKER_01]: As we are now only three games back at the cubs and four games back at the fillies.
46:40.378 --> 46:41.919
[SPEAKER_01]: The cubs are the tiebreaker over us.
46:42.259 --> 46:45.922
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, we do technically have the tiebreaker over the fillies.
46:45.942 --> 46:51.366
[SPEAKER_01]: We're three and three against each other this season, but because of the intradivisional records, we have the tiebreaker there.
46:51.406 --> 46:56.250
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the cubs and fillies continue to just collapse and struggle,
46:57.210 --> 47:09.173
[SPEAKER_01]: And, or at least the Cubs whoever it is, maybe you don't need to fully focus on the podries, we can worry about some other teams actually, you know, help us out a little bit more, and we're going to do a lot more scoreboard washing going forward.
47:09.213 --> 47:22.615
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yes, we are, once again, out of a playoff spot, but the fact that we're only three behind the Cubs and this one is a, there's a lot more encouraging considering where we were around like two weeks ago and is looking like it's going to be us and the podries
47:26.356 --> 47:32.837
[SPEAKER_01]: gonna be a very interesting well like 16 games left to go here I believe 15 games now more than that yeah 15 games left to go
47:34.867 --> 47:46.032
[SPEAKER_01]: not a lot of room for air and you know the the offense is really going to be waking up because I guess that's that's mine of my final thought on this series is this offense is horrible especially against starting pictures.
47:46.052 --> 47:54.655
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Jesse Freeman even had a tweet kind of going over some of the debacks the offensive numbers against starting pictures as of late and it was like a seven game span.
47:54.695 --> 47:56.016
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it was dating back from
47:58.217 --> 48:03.720
[SPEAKER_01]: Tuesday's game begins, Michael Walker going back to the double header on Saturday.
48:05.761 --> 48:16.487
[SPEAKER_01]: I think starting pitch against the D-backs have gone like 50 something games, I have like a 1 point something ERA and that's just hats, that's not what you want to see so the offense really really has to get it going.
48:17.167 --> 48:18.268
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping that, you know,
48:18.708 --> 48:24.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Statistically, I don't think any offense can perform this bad for the rest of the season, so maybe they're just getting out of the way now.
48:24.635 --> 48:34.405
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to find themselves a hot streak to get them hopefully propelled into October, but until I actually start to see signs of it, I'm not going to hold my breath too much for it, but what about you?
48:34.425 --> 48:37.649
[SPEAKER_01]: Any final thoughts on just a series in general before we look at what's on the horizon?
48:40.135 --> 48:45.956
[SPEAKER_02]: We went forward too on the road trip like that is something to be proud of.
48:46.077 --> 48:48.477
[SPEAKER_02]: Like they went, they won both series.
48:48.637 --> 48:58.380
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I know it's a bummer that will currently not in a playoffs spot right now, but you win, so we have series left.
48:59.680 --> 49:03.281
[SPEAKER_02]: If they win every series, these next five series,
49:04.380 --> 49:05.482
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's 88 wins.
49:05.762 --> 49:09.987
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, I'd true feel that should be enough to get into the playoffs.
49:12.531 --> 49:13.111
[SPEAKER_01]: Things crossed.
49:13.131 --> 49:16.135
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd you think too, but unfortunately that's, uh, it's also more of those.
49:16.155 --> 49:17.537
[SPEAKER_01]: We're like, what do the pot?
49:17.557 --> 49:19.660
[SPEAKER_01]: Because if we win this season, that's a time it's fine.
49:19.680 --> 49:19.780
[SPEAKER_01]: Even.
49:21.605 --> 49:22.505
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's kind of fun.
49:22.545 --> 49:23.426
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's doable.
49:23.546 --> 49:31.108
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll be definitely tough against the podges, especially, but you know, you can't let the Rockies do to us what they did in Arizona last time.
49:31.689 --> 49:34.009
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we unfortunately got to try to beat the Marlins.
49:34.109 --> 49:49.935
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they swept us earlier this year, and they're still a tough team, but yeah, ten five would be great, and definitely, you know, as we mentioned earlier, they need some more help from other teams as well, because this is going to come down on the wire and the deep action only helped themselves out so much, and if their offensive is going to do with them, we got to bake for these other teams to do it as well.
49:51.955 --> 49:56.936
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to be looking at the series coming up for the D-backs as they move on from Kansas City.
49:56.956 --> 49:59.757
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe they come back home for a little home cooking.
49:59.797 --> 50:06.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe if I'm not mistaken, this should be one of the final home stands of the regular season.
50:06.558 --> 50:11.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this should be the the start of the final home stand for the dimebacks this year.
50:11.460 --> 50:20.322
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you've not been able to make it out to a ball game, then you've got what 10 days left to decide as they got a three game series against the Texas Rangers
50:22.403 --> 50:31.194
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a little bit of a weird series in general, and other Rangers aren't what they were in 2023, but they are still technically in the wildcard race and playoff race because of how bad the American League is.
50:32.135 --> 50:38.183
[SPEAKER_01]: And I would say we can look at the starting pitching matchups going forward, but for every single game this weekend.
50:39.264 --> 50:57.311
[SPEAKER_01]: No start has happened announced yet for the d-backs or the ranger so we literally don't even have anything to go off of so just going off of vibes in general I guess we'll look at some of the the the rangers like you know Line up and all that the rangers themselves are 72 75 the three games under 500 Some of the haters in their lineup.
50:57.351 --> 51:00.453
[SPEAKER_01]: Jock Peterson is having a pretty solid season only bad in 234 but it's got an 817 slug
51:02.173 --> 51:05.254
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's been, you know, hitting really or 817 OPS.
51:05.334 --> 51:08.036
[SPEAKER_01]: Fosky, you just didn't fosky on their bench as an 834 OPS.
51:08.076 --> 51:10.316
[SPEAKER_01]: Seagre's hit in 752 did miss a little bit of time.
51:10.797 --> 51:15.158
[SPEAKER_01]: A ZCOD's Iran as it has got a 775 OPS and Nimble out of 736.
51:15.599 --> 51:19.360
[SPEAKER_01]: Lankford's 765, you got Jake Berger with the 739.
51:19.400 --> 51:23.422
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's ain't lineup that is a little bit deeper than the Royals lineup that we just saw.
51:23.442 --> 51:26.603
[SPEAKER_01]: And even in that one, we are still able to limit them a little bit.
51:27.103 --> 51:46.953
[SPEAKER_01]: But this is going to be a team that has a little bit more slug so we need the bullpen and starting pitching to yet again lock in and continue pitching as well as it possibly can because you know, you don't want to be surprised with the the rangers, you know, next thing, you know, we're down six to two in the third inning because of home runs from seagull to ran and and jock Peterson.
51:47.013 --> 51:49.474
[SPEAKER_01]: So what are your thoughts on the rangers coming to town?
51:49.514 --> 51:50.014
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a match
51:56.293 --> 52:08.797
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like a lot of these guys, like, they don't on paper look like through that thread, but you, you have to respect these guys.
52:08.817 --> 52:11.338
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to pitch well to them.
52:11.438 --> 52:18.820
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to pay it then, Jen, like next thing you know, you'll have a Doran have a three for eight series with homeowners.
52:20.495 --> 52:21.155
[SPEAKER_02]: before you blink.
52:21.195 --> 52:25.018
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but I think we need our offense to show up here.
52:25.178 --> 52:47.050
[SPEAKER_02]: And they need to show up early because it seems like we have the ML we leave majorly baseball and come from behind wins, which is cool, but also not, I would like it if it just take a lead, because this bullpen, if we can have a lead in the sixth and the seventh, I feel like we can keep it shut down.
52:47.190 --> 52:47.391
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I
52:48.757 --> 52:58.469
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we did it on purpose, but also not on purpose, um, because that would usually in your high leverage, guys comes in to the same thing.
52:59.069 --> 53:08.000
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um, there's just need offense to show up, um, so we'll have to just wait and see.
53:09.378 --> 53:16.322
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I think you make a great point that the offense is just kind of, you know, try to get them a little bit of a breathing room going forward.
53:16.342 --> 53:18.544
[SPEAKER_01]: So then the starting pitch, you can hopefully go deeper in the games.
53:18.904 --> 53:23.767
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the bullpen, if they do come in with a lead, can hopefully secure that lead because this is, uh,
53:25.188 --> 53:37.233
[SPEAKER_01]: Not the kind of trend that I want to continue that we've seen over the last, you know, like what 10 days or so, 11 days, maybe even what we're going back to that Saturday game, yeah, around the last like 10 games.
53:38.353 --> 53:41.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Not ideal for this offense going forward, they need to get some kind of sparkle and forward.
53:42.415 --> 53:44.255
[SPEAKER_01]: I wish you've been some pretty promising names.
53:44.295 --> 53:46.796
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Katel Marte is at a pretty solid stretch since coming back.
53:47.536 --> 53:52.137
[SPEAKER_01]: Marano has been hot and cold here a little bit, but he's been, you know, so I was like an 800 OPS in September.
53:52.157 --> 53:56.919
[SPEAKER_01]: Aaron Oto looks like he might be breaking out of his little of a slump there that he was in.
53:57.539 --> 53:59.959
[SPEAKER_01]: Tau has been a underrated name for this part of the offense.
54:00.400 --> 54:01.920
[SPEAKER_01]: So if we can get some of these guys to just, you know,
54:02.560 --> 54:05.581
[SPEAKER_01]: have a few more hits, especially with runners in this horry position.
54:06.441 --> 54:24.347
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's been a theme the entire season, but this is this is the time and turn around to get a few more, you know, clutch and timely hits because if they do make it to October, those situations are going to be amplified by like 10x because those are, you know, those savings are going to be very, very loud environments, whether they're home games or weight games.
54:27.348 --> 54:28.628
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, say it's, uh, it's going to be
54:31.241 --> 54:32.942
[SPEAKER_01]: Just minimum to kind of get a minimum.
54:34.664 --> 54:35.444
[SPEAKER_00]: You have to.
54:35.564 --> 54:43.230
[SPEAKER_02]: It's really hard to preview it when we don't know the pitch and actually start against very like, but I feel like you're not going to be one of them.
54:43.290 --> 54:46.252
[SPEAKER_02]: Thoughts going to be one of them.
54:47.173 --> 54:50.355
[SPEAKER_02]: And then probably who started Monday.
54:50.635 --> 54:51.956
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it was that was a bull.
54:52.356 --> 54:53.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Both on game one.
54:53.057 --> 54:54.258
[SPEAKER_01]: Another bullpen game, unfortunately.
54:55.259 --> 54:56.940
[SPEAKER_02]: We do have a bullpen game on Sunday.
54:58.185 --> 55:03.153
[SPEAKER_01]: I hope not, then we'll keep using the bolt and the way that we have been if we want them to be as fresh as possible for October.
55:04.449 --> 55:17.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, maybe maybe we do see, I mean, maybe they go with Saroka or Galen, like I know would be on what Ford is rest, there'd be Thursday, Friday, Saturday, so only, I guess he got three days resting like that.
55:17.399 --> 55:18.880
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe not one of them.
55:19.260 --> 55:29.548
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure, maybe they call somebody up, maybe they actually do call up human Lynn or somebody else just to make a spot start to kind of help them refresh the bulk that are refresh the starting staff and whatnot going forward, but
55:30.958 --> 55:50.408
[SPEAKER_01]: It's I'm just praying it's not another bullpen game because I don't know how many more of those I can handle with for not only my mental health, but just for the health of these bullpen picture arms because a lot of these guys are throwing the most innings they have whether in the career or just in a and a a few years as major league or so.
55:50.868 --> 56:05.681
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he said hard to kind of preview the series and it's entirety when you don't really know what pictures are going up there, but I do think we can be fairly confident saying that we will see fought and he wrote in the series, whether that be, you know, Friday Saturday or Saturday Sunday, whatever it is.
56:05.761 --> 56:18.892
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm fairly confident we can at least pencil those two in for one of those or two of those research, but any of the final thoughts in general on the series coming up debacks baseball and general life in general and any other thing that you wanted to address here tonight.
56:20.505 --> 56:23.126
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we covered it all from perfect.
56:23.146 --> 56:24.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, again, we appreciate everyone tuning on in.
56:26.288 --> 56:34.332
[SPEAKER_01]: Just because I mentioned it earlier, going to, you know, Flagstaff, go to the Marcos, Best Wings, because we stayed in the hotel last night.
56:34.893 --> 56:37.374
[SPEAKER_01]: I did go to the Marcos, I got myself 20 Wings.
56:37.454 --> 56:40.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I demolished 20 Wings and a Buffalo Bread.
56:40.535 --> 56:42.396
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to lie, even walking around the next day.
56:42.416 --> 56:44.938
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, wow, I feel like I just ate 20 Wings last night.
56:46.098 --> 56:47.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Zero regrets if phenomenal.
56:48.158 --> 56:49.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking about them to this day still.
56:49.659 --> 56:51.419
