[SPEAKER_02]: But gentlemen, welcome in happy Sunday.
01:38.393 --> 01:43.058
[SPEAKER_02]: How is the weekend meant for you guys whether it's D-backs related or even outside of the D-backs?
01:44.925 --> 01:48.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just pretty chill and I haven't really done much this weekend.
01:48.826 --> 01:55.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I did just check out some gear and stuff at a Bake 5 for my Ment League.
01:55.689 --> 01:59.190
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems a new bet to want to add this last season.
01:59.730 --> 02:02.811
[SPEAKER_01]: About a half way to the season, it just became super light for me.
02:02.831 --> 02:05.312
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know if that ever happened to you guys where you're like...
02:05.832 --> 02:14.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, because I was starting to work out a lot more, going to the gym and everything, like, half of the season, I did start to feel like a lot stronger than I was, like, bread beginning to season.
02:14.678 --> 02:18.240
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it really felt like I was swinging a toothpick with that bat.
02:18.280 --> 02:23.344
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I finished the season off with that bat, because I'm like, you know, I paid like 60 bucks for it, I'm gonna get my money's worth.
02:24.024 --> 02:44.308
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would start to just feel like I was swinging, I would try to swing a little bit later, a little bit earlier, and every time I was just swinging a whiffle ball that or something like that, just get in a way to ahead of it, get in the ball right at the front of the zone, started riding out a lot more, and then you know, I've been trying out some heavier bats, so do a lot better with those.
02:45.288 --> 02:52.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, just seeing if I get some new bats or some new gloves, just to, you know, just to start on them a little bit this season.
02:53.178 --> 02:53.478
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
02:53.498 --> 02:53.838
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
02:53.858 --> 03:02.842
[SPEAKER_02]: So are you guys a wood bat league or do you like a do metal bats to know it's a wood bat That was soon because you get a metal bat in front of in a in a grown man grown man's hand can be dangerous We're gonna die.
03:02.962 --> 03:03.202
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
03:03.462 --> 03:03.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
03:03.702 --> 03:05.563
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why like I in slow pitch.
03:05.583 --> 03:06.043
[SPEAKER_02]: Stop ball.
03:06.183 --> 03:17.647
[SPEAKER_02]: It still kills me because I'm like Dude, this shit's harder than a baseball and people hit it way harder than I've seen any baseball Yeah, we we would all be predominant We would literally all be getting a heroic or predominant everywhere.
03:17.767 --> 03:18.768
[SPEAKER_01]: We're using these little bats
03:19.308 --> 03:35.882
[SPEAKER_02]: Seriously, but are you uh say I was I was I was in a 2000 person and deem a reading at least for metal bats for wood bats Same I was never the greatest anyway and with my luck at break it so I was go with the $60 big sticks and like all right cool like that's that's that's all I really care about
03:36.322 --> 03:41.746
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets a job done, it gets a job done, I'm not going to go drop like, you know, 200, 300 bucks and like, it's some fancy read time.
03:41.766 --> 03:51.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I know there's like certain, like, compact wood ones or whatever, like they even had a discussion, the manager's group chat, just like, hey, are we going to band these bets or whatever?
03:51.454 --> 03:54.156
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of them like, we'll go to Lino or something like that.
03:54.176 --> 03:59.340
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, some wood composite bat that like, yeah, it seems very illegal or it should be.
03:59.580 --> 04:10.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what they're talking about, and we like, it's like a soft band, but not really, but we're just saying like, hey, they're supposed to add like four or five miles an hour to each hit.
04:10.088 --> 04:19.316
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, we're all, we all that day jobs, like, you know, if you really need to add five miles per hour to your to your swing, like maybe hit the cages instead.
04:19.776 --> 04:23.379
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not band, but it's also, like, you know, be smart about it.
04:23.459 --> 04:34.964
[SPEAKER_02]: take a gentleman's agreement to maybe don't use that or use it in somebody that you know that's going to average like 65 to 70 years of velocity now the guy that's going to be you know regularly with a with a big six smack me like 90 miles an hour.
04:34.984 --> 04:35.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome.
04:35.744 --> 04:42.287
[SPEAKER_01]: We have some we have some like guys who played in double and triple A in their past lot of three college and stuff.
04:42.307 --> 04:42.447
[SPEAKER_01]: So
04:43.687 --> 04:54.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't, they haven't hit a home run off of me, but I can tell when those guys are up, like you can tell right away, like they're filling it off to splitter and just in the fastball inside and I just end up walking them, but like they really are actually getting hit.
04:54.894 --> 05:09.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I just end up walking them, because when I, the way how far I see them hit the balls and they're just, you know, bruising like the regular bets, but if you have those composite bets, I'm like, I got RIP to stuff whatever third base man or first base man's out there, because you have to, during the update by that line drive.
05:10.465 --> 05:18.791
[SPEAKER_02]: And my men's lead back in college and black sappers, a few guys at a base that one of them had almost a like two a T, the same exact stance as John Carlos Stanton.
05:19.491 --> 05:21.553
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was close to the same size.
05:21.593 --> 05:29.458
[SPEAKER_02]: And let me tell you what he was golfing my, you know, 65, 70 mile an hour of changeups in the dirt out like 420 feet dead center.
05:29.478 --> 05:36.463
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yeah, this guy, make sure he doesn't swing anything other than a big stick or some shitty wooden bat because we will all die if it's a line drive.
05:36.503 --> 05:36.643
[SPEAKER_02]: But
05:37.143 --> 05:38.084
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I hope for you.
05:38.124 --> 05:39.805
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get some good equipment this time on the season.
05:39.825 --> 05:42.286
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys can take home a chip in your league, but Brandon on to you.
05:42.587 --> 05:43.767
[SPEAKER_02]: How's the weekend been for you, my man?
05:45.468 --> 05:46.029
[SPEAKER_03]: Pretty good.
05:46.589 --> 05:53.594
[SPEAKER_03]: I got my car for service this weekend, so how to do my every three or four month oil change got that done.
05:54.674 --> 05:55.875
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe six months.
05:56.175 --> 06:02.599
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't try my car that much, but got that all done and then they're like, hey, you need to do this and this and this.
06:02.640 --> 06:02.900
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like,
06:03.823 --> 06:05.743
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, and I don't care.
06:05.963 --> 06:08.284
[SPEAKER_03]: I came here for one thing and I want to get that done.
06:08.824 --> 06:10.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Just put the, just put the fries in the bag, bro.
06:11.604 --> 06:11.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Literally.
06:12.105 --> 06:13.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
06:13.165 --> 06:16.005
[SPEAKER_03]: I was just like, thanks guys, thanks for pointing it out.
06:16.025 --> 06:20.786
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate it, but no, I'm not, I was just here for my oil change.
06:21.886 --> 06:24.807
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I was going to go back home.
06:24.987 --> 06:30.088
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, um, because I had to make sure they'll be home back by 4 o'clock, because I had to watch the Don Max game.
06:33.306 --> 06:34.367
[SPEAKER_03]: This series was fun.
06:34.807 --> 06:37.369
[SPEAKER_03]: This series was something.
06:37.389 --> 06:42.972
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of ups and downs, not gonna lie, but we can was chill.
06:43.273 --> 06:45.414
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't really do much outside of watching the games.
06:46.505 --> 06:49.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say the, on the note of getting car service, the biggest scam.
06:50.126 --> 06:51.786
[SPEAKER_02]: If they ever like, oh, we can replace your air filter.
06:52.206 --> 06:53.967
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I didn't even have to do that jiffy loop before.
06:53.987 --> 06:57.808
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, dude, just, just, you can find the exact air filter for your car.
06:58.368 --> 07:01.408
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's the easiest they never change, just do yourself.
07:01.448 --> 07:04.029
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to save you like 50, 100 bucks depending on where you go.
07:04.049 --> 07:06.169
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they're going to charge you for the part in the service.
07:06.329 --> 07:10.110
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, okay, like, the labor to put that thing in was maybe two minutes of work.
07:10.130 --> 07:12.311
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you're not going to charge me 30 bucks for doing that.
07:12.331 --> 07:12.871
[SPEAKER_02]: So fuck off.
07:13.271 --> 07:21.341
[SPEAKER_02]: So anybody out there, like Brandon said, change what your, you know, get your car service, what it needs to be, unless it's going to, like, you know, be a major hazard telling me.
07:21.361 --> 07:21.621
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, thanks.
07:21.641 --> 07:23.403
[SPEAKER_02]: Put it in my notes and just like Gabe said, put the fries in the bag, bro.
07:23.443 --> 07:30.652
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'll always say no to your air filter change because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
07:31.275 --> 07:37.417
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they kind of what Brandon said is a very eventful series here in Houston that everyone these games are pretty close game.
07:37.437 --> 07:51.120
[SPEAKER_02]: There wasn't any blowouts kind of like what we saw in the Philly series, which did you guys have been playing a lot of close games as of late when which when you got an offense that's been going with the d-backs has been you've got a bullpen the way the d-backs has been you know it's kind of a recipe to see those hop happen as often
07:51.780 --> 07:58.082
[SPEAKER_02]: And there was no different here in game one, whether it was the offense bullpen scoring has been kind of the same that we've seen as of late.
07:58.322 --> 08:02.223
[SPEAKER_02]: Miracley did go six inning seven hits, three earned no walks, which is I mean my goodness.
08:02.243 --> 08:05.564
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know the last time I was able to say Miracley had no walks on a statline.
08:06.104 --> 08:10.445
[SPEAKER_02]: He did track it on the four hitters, but I feel that the Astros are just a team that doesn't strike out as much.
08:10.485 --> 08:16.307
[SPEAKER_02]: Did it on 94 pitches with 64, then being strikes, which I think is a very good sign that he's able to locate a little bit better.
08:16.667 --> 08:21.431
[SPEAKER_02]: because whenever he's around 50-55% strike rate, it's not a good sign.
08:21.772 --> 08:30.079
[SPEAKER_02]: I did get 11 wiffs in this one, 5 on this change up, 3 on this 4 seam 2 on this curve, one on this cutter, so I kind of had them swing in a miss and go to a good amount of his arsenal.
08:30.640 --> 08:37.165
[SPEAKER_02]: The offense, unfortunately, this one continue to what we saw in that Philly series, they went a combined three for 28 on this entire game.
08:37.906 --> 08:41.009
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven walks, they had a lot of men on the bases, but 13 strikeouts.
08:41.729 --> 08:56.237
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, with over four with run and score of position leaving seven on base, the alone run for the dibex did come off of a home run from gabby ran of his 12th year when in 105 and 387 feet, so gabby, hopefully after the little bit of a rough series, he had against affiliates turning it back around.
08:56.857 --> 08:59.019
[SPEAKER_02]: JMR had a really solid clean outing in this one.
08:59.039 --> 09:07.604
[SPEAKER_02]: No walks too strikeouts and when you get the pitching ninja making posts about you, you know that JMR is absolutely back and then a deracle with another impressive outing as well.
09:07.784 --> 09:12.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully he can continue the the rate he has been going and saw really well on this bullpen going forward.
09:12.547 --> 09:12.987
[SPEAKER_02]: But gentlemen.
09:14.073 --> 09:16.637
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a very, you know, a vengeful game in here.
09:16.657 --> 09:23.806
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously with the Astros doing the kind of their bulk of the scoring and like an integer tune, the D-backs only really getting one run obviously on that Gabby bomb.
09:24.287 --> 09:29.975
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of stuff that's here in game one, whether it's the good, whether it's the bad, maybe something that you haven't really seen mentioned online as much as a late.
09:31.934 --> 09:59.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess the, you know, despite the issues that Maros had, though, at least his last three starts I've been quite decent, the one against the Cubs, it was kind of the one that wasn't the best, the even five and two thirds, with three unit runs, but I think we even discussed at that point that runs Chernaff County at a camera exactly what, oh, it was the home run I believe to a Taylor Clarke where the runner was on first, he gets taken out and then Taylor Clarke comes in and just gives up a two-brun bond
10:02.221 --> 10:12.627
[SPEAKER_01]: Or unless it was the actual first pitch right away, but still 5, 2, 3 runs against San Francisco 7, 7 innings, 0 runs and then this 1, 6 innings, 3 runs.
10:13.367 --> 10:14.468
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to get the job done.
10:14.488 --> 10:19.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the best that we can ask for, Mara Kelly, if he can be around 6 innings, 3 runs.
10:19.750 --> 10:23.873
[SPEAKER_01]: He's giving this team a chance to wait and day in and day out and that's what we've won.
10:24.813 --> 10:42.123
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going out there, four innings, five innings, five, six runs, but that's kind of a rap, especially with the way this offense is going, and this game, you know, they continue to trend of the often just being straight dog ass, but you want a chance to win, and Merrill did the best he could to give his team a chance to win.
10:42.403 --> 10:47.246
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, he was saddled with the loss, but then, you know, put the bullpen being as
10:48.066 --> 11:06.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Locked down has they've been like I never thought I would say this, but like all you need is a lead Which I thought I would ever say I going to have an elite go into the seven which is bullpen You feel I mean, I'm still not gonna feel confident just because the last eight or nine years Tell me otherwise, but I
11:07.225 --> 11:08.527
[SPEAKER_01]: So like you've seen J.
11:08.547 --> 11:27.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Mark commit a lip-op and you're like, all right, you know, we at least just need to get to the ninth and then even log Which really surprised me how how actually pretty good he's been since they'd be brought him up I have no guys come up, you know shots on down and you know, it's really really a testament to how good the pitching has been Especially as of late and
11:28.627 --> 11:33.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Fortunately, it just couldn't get it done because, you know, the the issues with running score of vision.
11:33.909 --> 11:35.990
[SPEAKER_01]: They were patients, seven walks.
11:36.090 --> 11:39.391
[SPEAKER_01]: They had seven walks and this came just just doesn't matter.
11:39.791 --> 11:40.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I made a tweet about this.
11:41.811 --> 11:43.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I got pushed by because of course.
11:43.332 --> 11:44.252
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's going to happen.
11:44.972 --> 11:49.454
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mentioned about new bar, which, you know, when you have a guy on or two guys on base.
11:50.923 --> 11:54.285
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great to get a walk, but what this team needs right now is hits.
11:55.185 --> 12:06.030
[SPEAKER_01]: And if there's no one hitting and everyone else is doing it just walking, you're just setting yourself up for a double play, and that's what this team has been doing these last few weeks, which is, you guys got in second, no outs.
12:06.570 --> 12:11.953
[SPEAKER_01]: They just walk the guy, then some of the grounds are just a double play, and then basically, and things over at that point.
12:11.993 --> 12:12.193
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
12:12.833 --> 12:14.174
[SPEAKER_01]: just really frustrating to watch.
12:14.214 --> 12:17.375
[SPEAKER_01]: They went over four to run his car position just because they didn't really have too many.
12:18.315 --> 12:22.977
[SPEAKER_01]: But the one run, I think at that point it was four in a row and again, just not going to get it done.
12:23.518 --> 12:28.120
[SPEAKER_01]: Katel was at least able to get it hit and walk and he's looked really really good since going back.
12:28.140 --> 12:28.640
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not just
12:29.220 --> 12:34.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Hit in the ball, but even on defense, like we talked about just how much of a liability Various clothes at second base.
12:35.322 --> 12:46.807
[SPEAKER_01]: So seeing a telemic, these absolute tremendous plays, especially when you did yesterday, running in wet like 150 feet and just a few seconds to track the ball down, like that was huge to bring that out of the game back into extras.
12:47.727 --> 13:10.668
[SPEAKER_01]: having him back out there was great to see and obviously you just given many sort of praise like oh man it's so good to see him back out there and then just there which is why I was saying before like I don't think he owes the fans anything because the one to hate him are gonna hate him no matter what he says or does and that was the case there because the haters just came out and were like this is what he's supposed to be doing and
13:11.048 --> 13:14.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what if we didn't lose this production while he was out?
13:14.211 --> 13:15.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, the guy was clearly hurt.
13:16.472 --> 13:19.214
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't making these plays in the weeks leading up to it.
13:19.314 --> 13:21.756
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a huge pep in the step.
13:21.776 --> 13:24.358
[SPEAKER_01]: He's running a lot faster than he was with the weeks leading up to it.
13:24.418 --> 13:26.760
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.
13:26.900 --> 13:35.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I mentioned before, the league checks on guys, medicals, to see that they're actually hurting and seems like there was something that was truly bothering his back in his hamstring.
13:35.467 --> 13:39.150
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's nice to see could tell back and healthy because when he's back and he's healthy,
13:40.415 --> 13:41.796
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, top five guys in the league.
13:43.278 --> 13:46.481
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's no secret that he is an absolute weapon when he's healthy.
13:46.861 --> 13:53.628
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we're definitely seeing a healthy Kitsel Marte in the last, you know, four, you know, like five to six games he's been playing, which has been very close to that play.
13:53.748 --> 13:56.491
[SPEAKER_02]: They made him falter a tour, like you said, that we'll definitely dive into here in a second.
13:57.172 --> 13:58.233
[SPEAKER_02]: For Game 2 was phenomenal.
13:58.973 --> 14:04.518
[SPEAKER_02]: And then even when you're saying with the way the offense has been going, you might get a walk or something and then ground into double play.
14:04.918 --> 14:08.461
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if we only have so many on second base, we still get into fucking double plays.
14:08.541 --> 14:13.745
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the only, the only, I feel like the only team, yeah, I know it's not actually the only team, but the team is probably had to happen.
14:14.105 --> 14:18.829
[SPEAKER_02]: But once I happen, I was like, yes, this is a very, very dime-backs-esque result here, of course.
14:19.709 --> 14:20.930
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which was a little unfortunate.
14:21.631 --> 14:25.594
[SPEAKER_02]: But thankfully, it was not a, you know, something that kind of, you know, brought the team down, the rest of the series,
14:28.336 --> 14:38.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think what you said about Meryl Kelly, it does suck you got the loss, but the last four or five starts from him have been an improvement over what we saw on a good majority of August.
14:39.104 --> 14:43.207
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I guess the last couple starts, I should say, is a good improvement over what we saw on a majority of August.
14:43.227 --> 14:50.673
[SPEAKER_02]: So, definitely Neem Merrill on his best going down the home stretch here and I feel like we're getting some signs that are going forward, which will be very, very clutch for this team, but
14:51.153 --> 15:13.777
[SPEAKER_02]: Brandon on to you my friend what kind of stuck out to you in this game some of the few things obviously there's not much on the offensive side to you know talk about but there was a full 90s of baseball so what kind of stuck out to you in this one whether it be the good end or bad so you asked when was the last time we could say that you know Kelly didn't have a walk it's been a very long time
15:15.058 --> 15:21.289
[SPEAKER_03]: May 20th was his last start that he gave up zero locks.
15:21.749 --> 15:23.993
[SPEAKER_03]: That is mind-boggling to me.
15:24.133 --> 15:24.474
[SPEAKER_03]: That is a
15:25.873 --> 15:26.633
[SPEAKER_03]: over it's a log.
15:27.113 --> 15:32.795
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like that's absolutely insane that he had at least one walk and ever started since then.
15:34.295 --> 15:36.916
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been very juggling high this year.
15:36.976 --> 15:40.177
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you'll have one good month, one bad month, one good month, one bad month.
15:40.657 --> 15:48.699
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in the potential good month pattern, which is good because this is when we need everyone to be playing their best ball.
15:49.239 --> 15:49.519
[SPEAKER_03]: So,
15:49.819 --> 15:52.323
[SPEAKER_03]: hopefully we can continue to see him pitch well.
15:52.964 --> 15:55.407
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he got the loss.
15:56.169 --> 16:00.555
[SPEAKER_03]: When you have a quality start, you feel like you have a shot at winning the game.
16:01.760 --> 16:11.164
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, that's the whole reason why every time ERA goes out, we were like, what, 21 and 7, when he starts to something, like, it's some crazy number.
16:11.224 --> 16:14.466
[SPEAKER_03]: How good would this team plays when ERA goes out there?
16:14.526 --> 16:21.629
[SPEAKER_03]: So, if Kelly can keep doing this, like his last three starts, he's gone.
16:21.649 --> 16:22.349
[SPEAKER_03]: 5 and 2, 3, 7 and 6.
16:25.230 --> 16:28.451
[SPEAKER_03]: and 3 runs, 0 runs, 3 runs, 3 runs.
16:28.471 --> 16:30.051
[SPEAKER_03]: So he's pitching very, very well.
16:30.631 --> 16:31.732
[SPEAKER_03]: His last three starts.
16:33.192 --> 16:38.474
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he got credit for one additional run against the Cubs on that home or that Taylor Clark gave up.
16:38.934 --> 16:45.595
[SPEAKER_03]: So not entirely his fault, but a inherited runner scoring is just the way that it is.
16:46.055 --> 16:47.196
[SPEAKER_03]: His stuff looked pretty good.
16:48.336 --> 16:50.658
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm got a lot of whiffs like you said.
16:50.678 --> 16:54.100
[SPEAKER_03]: You got a five in the change up three on the fastball, two on the curve ball.
16:54.160 --> 17:05.328
[SPEAKER_03]: So 11 whiffs out of 90 plus pitches, he threw about, it's 60, 64 strikes out of his 94 pitches.
17:05.408 --> 17:11.172
[SPEAKER_03]: So he was definitely in the zone throughout this start, which is what you want to see.
17:12.814 --> 17:14.695
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's frustrating with the offense.
17:15.155 --> 17:17.217
[SPEAKER_03]: The only offense in this game was the Gabby Homer.
17:19.074 --> 17:25.576
[SPEAKER_03]: where I looked it up, I thought that would be a homer and like two, like no, it's a homer and like 20-plus ballpark.
17:25.596 --> 17:31.677
[SPEAKER_03]: So he got a decent amount of that homer there to the Cropard boxes.
17:32.698 --> 17:35.398
[SPEAKER_03]: He just continues to have a excellent offense of season.
17:36.979 --> 17:47.662
[SPEAKER_03]: Basically leads all catchers in OPS, I believe, and he's definitely first at batting average because he's near the top in batting average in the national league.
17:48.662 --> 17:51.143
[SPEAKER_03]: batting around 300 so that's good for him.
17:52.643 --> 17:54.464
[SPEAKER_03]: Carol goes all for four with two strikeouts.
17:54.724 --> 17:56.044
[SPEAKER_03]: That's kind of a bummer.
17:57.365 --> 18:01.166
[SPEAKER_03]: But that was one of the real bad game for Carol in this series.
18:01.186 --> 18:02.887
[SPEAKER_03]: He played really well in games two and three.
18:04.027 --> 18:13.710
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah it always sucks to lose game one of his series because he feel like you're like you're in an uphill climb for the rest of the series.
18:15.818 --> 18:25.264
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's never a great way to get started, especially when you go up against the team like the Astros and considering more of the podries, opening up that series against the Yankees as well.
18:25.524 --> 18:38.792
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a great way to keep that half game lead, but of course, they'd have a block off because we'd just, we're just the complete opposite each other or the same at the same time where we're just going to go back and forth this entire time until we play each other in San Diego unfortunately.
18:40.112 --> 18:48.715
[SPEAKER_02]: Another point on Merrill which had been pretty nice in his last three games, he said 18 innings in those last three, so averaging just a little over six, it was actually 18.2 technically.
18:49.115 --> 18:54.736
[SPEAKER_02]: But he has a 289 e-out rate over that time, hitters are hitting only 206 against him.
18:56.217 --> 18:58.858
[SPEAKER_02]: He does have a 3.31 fit, but I'll still take even that.
19:00.018 --> 19:05.980
[SPEAKER_02]: With the 2.4 strike out, or 2.14 strike out per walk, a walk per cent under 10% which
19:07.980 --> 19:22.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely signs that as it is at least last couple outings he has been turning around which you know like you said Brandon hopefully you continue with the trend of him You know going from bad month good month bad month good month and we can get him a full good month here in September because we're gonna need it but yeah
19:22.882 --> 19:28.106
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not realize it was actually an over three-month stretch without him having a single walk in a game.
19:28.687 --> 19:31.669
[SPEAKER_02]: That is kind of goes back to, I mean, walks in general piss me off.
19:32.110 --> 19:39.816
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather have a team beat you because you threw a meatball and it took advantage versus you literally giving them free-base runners, which could lead to big innings.
19:40.577 --> 19:42.318
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's one of the biggest issues I've had with Merrill.
19:42.338 --> 19:45.221
[SPEAKER_02]: Not even just this year, but I feel like just in general as an entire career.
19:45.621 --> 19:49.864
[SPEAKER_02]: As I mentioned multiple times, I know what we all have that he definitely kind of lives off of, you know,
19:50.805 --> 20:09.370
[SPEAKER_02]: not like we're at a lot of religious lives on the shadow where he's like really tied around the zone when he's he's on but Merrill Kelly there's times where he kind of gets teams to be overly aggressive they swing out really bad pitches but then you get against a team you know that's seen a couple times that knows what he's doing and they're like oh yeah you just you look for one pitch and you hammer it.
20:09.770 --> 20:13.473
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's sometimes the kind of issue is I feel like he does have the stuff that can challenge hitters.
20:14.074 --> 20:18.797
[SPEAKER_02]: But when you get into these two or three-one counts, it's going to be kind of predictable what you can challenge him with.
20:18.817 --> 20:23.802
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully we can see him continue to turn around because the rest of the way, like Brandon said, we're going to need that kind of Merrill going forward.
20:24.162 --> 20:38.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it seems like that was kind of the MO for facing guys like Pena or even Yordon who these guys don't really extend their zones at all, but it seemed like the planet of talk for these two guys was just throw completely uncompetitive pitches like every other
20:39.414 --> 21:07.107
[SPEAKER_01]: throw ball way outside, next ball throw it down the middle, throw the next one way up high, throw the next one down the middle, and it seemed to work, I just completely changing the idea, I was to do these guys, I mean, they had what you're on, three O came back, throwing basically three straight fast balls or whatever, three straight balls in the zone, I'm going to be able to strike him out, or I mean, braiding or see what it was, and then today, I was going to go as well, just sort of throwing these uncompetitive pitches just outside,
21:08.588 --> 21:11.689
[SPEAKER_01]: their own pitches, like, right, you know, dotted the corners and stuff like that.
21:11.709 --> 21:14.890
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they really seem to work for them, at least against the Astros.
21:14.950 --> 21:28.816
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't suggest that with a lot of other teams, but the Astros maybe that's, you know, right, credit to the, at least the pitching coaches and staff at this point where, you know, Dan Herring was the one in charge of the game planning and he's been out.
21:28.836 --> 21:31.037
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe this season, you get out of it.
21:31.057 --> 21:35.318
[SPEAKER_01]: So, wherever they got in there now, it just seems to have a really good game plan for like,
21:38.064 --> 22:04.444
[SPEAKER_01]: like yeah so it's something like they they have a really good plan especially for a lot of the big boppers um like cloud shore it was basically shut down for the filly series as well so clearly there's day they're fighting something or some way that they can pitch to these guys and I mean we'll talk about later about your rod like you can just kind of lucky and it was also that that was like a 3 to 130 foot home run like that's a baby park home run like I'm not going to blame me right for that one but
22:05.585 --> 22:15.033
[SPEAKER_01]: There's clearly something there, but the way that they're able to sequence and throw these pitches that are able to get players out, the main thing is just executing.
22:15.554 --> 22:24.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Meryl just wasn't executing for the longest time, and if he's able to execute, he's throwing some of my uncompetitive pitches, as long as it's part of the plan, that's when matters.
22:25.059 --> 22:30.380
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is definitely, you know, a lot of credit going towards Jeremy Blake, who's the assistant GM of the D-backs.
22:30.800 --> 22:43.522
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe as a big hand in the actual like, pitching strategies, you know, kind of deals with kind of what Dan here and did before where that might not be his full title, but I think it's pretty much kind of under the umbrella of, you know, duties that he has as the assistant GM.
22:43.962 --> 22:51.063
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, he's been, and depending on if it's what he's done for the, you know, the bullpen tubes, I think in our discord, I'm not sure if it was Bryce or somebody else,
22:54.864 --> 23:10.071
[SPEAKER_02]: You throw like a high 90s sinker maybe you should throw that more often and what do you know guys like Maria Guy, I know it's been a short time here, but Jmart's been you know throwing a I feel like a lot more L'Oisig has been really really solid with the sinker like it just it's funny sometimes when
23:11.451 --> 23:16.595
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like they're like, all right, we're going to use analytics, but at the same time, you throw hard throw hard.
23:16.695 --> 23:20.718
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to be one of the best recipes for success, especially if you throw hard with movement.
23:20.758 --> 23:27.464
[SPEAKER_02]: We're a Maryland doesn't throw hard with movement, but at least he's gotten enough movement on there and he kind of like he said game, I felt like the game plan they definitely executed it.
23:27.964 --> 23:33.488
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not in just the series, but as of late against those big boppers, I mean, they basically held PCA hit list, Schworburden really do much.
23:34.209 --> 23:37.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Same with your dawn on this one outside the, like he said, the baby park home run.
23:37.751 --> 23:38.232
[SPEAKER_02]: They're able to keep
23:40.033 --> 23:43.575
[SPEAKER_02]: quiet, which I think, you know, even kind of what going back to Brandon said a couple of times in the previous shows.
23:43.875 --> 23:58.284
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you got to pick your poison with these offences and I feel like they have been doing a great job in picking who they're going to let beat them and then you know, just tipping your cap and being like, all right, we're going to let Yani here at DSB, that's where we're not going to let Yordon and Alvarez beat us, because that's a great way to, you know, look back and go like, what were we doing?
23:58.324 --> 23:59.464
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do we decide to go that route?
23:59.504 --> 24:03.387
[SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, faithfully, game two, the offense would, you know, once again, it wasn't,
24:04.027 --> 24:09.069
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, uh, putting up the seven eight runs that we kind of saw in a couple of games and saying friend, but they were able to do enough.
24:09.529 --> 24:12.990
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Brandon fought kept this team in it throughout the the entire game, six and a third.
24:13.010 --> 24:18.992
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got seven hits, uh, three earned two walks and four strikeouts on 93 pitches with 60 them being for strikes.
24:19.472 --> 24:20.712
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he had 13 whiffs.
24:20.732 --> 24:24.153
[SPEAKER_02]: So he won up to Merrill in this one, uh, four in a sweeper three in the sinker.
24:24.533 --> 24:29.975
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he and then he had two on each his cutter curable and foreseem or so pretty much everything in his arsenal, uh, was working.
24:30.315 --> 24:48.419
[SPEAKER_02]: Continues to be phenomenal, he's got a 2.63 ERA in his last 15 games with a season ERA down 23.53, obviously a couple of the outings like the one against a Red Sox where he allowed the 500 runs at the three home runs, so it's not ballooned as ERA too much, I mean he's on track to have his best season and his entire career so far, which is great, definitely need big game running the rest of the way.
24:49.059 --> 24:56.603
[SPEAKER_02]: Newborn, Reno, over the only ones in the lineup here that multi-hit games, both of driving in runs in a very clutch situations that will be huge, or that was huge.
24:56.623 --> 25:07.389
[SPEAKER_02]: Could tell Marta, speaking of clutch situations in huge hits, game tying home run in the eighth, that was 101 out of that, going 388, just feel like an absolute moonball thing, it was a feel like it was in the air forever.
25:07.409 --> 25:13.873
[SPEAKER_02]: It was his first home run since returning, so like Gabe said earlier with the catalogue, he's been very hitting very well since he returned, which is nice to see.
25:14.633 --> 25:19.655
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he also made a phenomenal grab at the wall in the Athenians who deny Varshow of it go ahead knock.
25:19.675 --> 25:22.676
[SPEAKER_02]: So, both Waltian could tell making some great plays defensively in this one.
25:23.076 --> 25:28.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby had the go ahead single there in the 10th inning to get the D-backs, the lead with the call it the Ghostrunner.
25:28.878 --> 25:31.119
[SPEAKER_02]: I know some people like, well, it's not a Ghostrunner, it's an actual person there.
25:31.559 --> 25:32.120
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?
25:32.160 --> 25:33.340
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to keep call it the Ghostrunner.
25:33.820 --> 25:36.101
[SPEAKER_02]: So, he drives into Vargas to the Ghostrunner, giving them the 4-3 lead.
25:36.441 --> 25:38.462
[SPEAKER_02]: The bullpen was just phenomenal once again.
25:38.502 --> 25:40.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like we're becoming a broken record, even like Gabe sang earlier.
25:41.323 --> 25:49.888
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a weird feeling knowing that if you can get into the 7th and beyond, either at a one-run lead or with a one-run lead, you feel like you're in a great spot to keep the game where it is.
25:50.469 --> 25:55.212
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just what we got on this one as Ginkl Maria, the wise guy in Garcia all combined to go three and two-thirds.
25:55.592 --> 25:57.873
[SPEAKER_02]: Two hits, no walks, and six strikeouts.
25:57.913 --> 25:59.634
[SPEAKER_02]: So when the bullpens come in, that's another big thing.
25:59.995 --> 26:01.475
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to limit the free passes.
26:01.495 --> 26:03.597
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been not given people many free passes.
26:04.297 --> 26:06.799
[SPEAKER_02]: And then on the note for Garcia, that was his fifth save of the year.
26:07.359 --> 26:07.539
[SPEAKER_02]: He did
26:10.761 --> 26:13.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Couple of the pitches he would have stolen sweepers way out of the zone.
26:13.663 --> 26:28.375
[SPEAKER_02]: It's almost like he was a, you know, the meme of, never let them know your next move because you're on, he's a hard batter to kind of trick and get to look silly and throw in that, you know, 101 miles an hour from which right over the heart of the plate was just absolutely discussing.
26:28.395 --> 26:32.038
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's hilarious watching Garcia do it because I think he has some of the lowest extension.
26:32.558 --> 26:35.379
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't it doesn't seem like he really steps towards the plate.
26:35.399 --> 26:54.867
[SPEAKER_02]: He just slingshots the baseball to the plate Hey, it gets a job done another you know W from my case from last year's trade deadline, which is phenomenal But he did lock down the save and the d-backs win a close one here 4 to 3 which was at the time Their 40 second comeback win on this season, which is indie lead of all majorly teams and majorly baseball
26:55.247 --> 27:05.769
[SPEAKER_02]: So huge bounce-like one for the D-backs, especially adding that in with the podres losing, they take back that wild card lead and sit going into Sunday, a half a game ahead on the podres.
27:05.809 --> 27:08.909
[SPEAKER_02]: So Gabe on to you as always, we'll kind of stuck out to you on this one.
27:08.929 --> 27:20.872
[SPEAKER_02]: You kind of more leading towards Brandon Flot, having another quality star keeping these team in it, being able to go into the seventh inning, maybe the clutch hitting from new parmarino could tell his big home run, or even the bullpen being lights out as always.
27:20.892 --> 27:22.572
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll kind of stuck out to you the most here in this 4-3 win.
27:24.618 --> 27:25.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's two things.
27:25.858 --> 27:28.899
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be the bullpin, the fact that they went three and two thirds.
27:30.160 --> 27:35.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, Steve, the Astros, like it's close to forering, that they went to, you know, really shut them down.
27:35.701 --> 27:40.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's really just the, it's a couple of hits off of a branded bottom in that for that.
27:40.883 --> 27:51.427
[SPEAKER_01]: They came in, shot the door down, they allowed two hits, two hits, those two third gennings, they strike out, was that six guys, they strike out, that's open God.
27:51.467 --> 27:52.667
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's huge.
27:52.687 --> 28:03.531
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we've seen this from these Mike Hays and Bolpins, they just don't strike guys out, and that's something that we've been saying for so years that we've had this podcast, which is, get guys who can strike guys out.
28:04.371 --> 28:24.584
[SPEAKER_01]: When you have the bases loaded, I don't want Ryan Thompson coming in there getting ground balls because they put the ball in play, you might have, you know, you can get the double play, you might be able to get the play at home, it just kind of depends, like you just asking too much when the bit, you know, when you have guys on base and the best you have is guys to get ground balls or pop ups, like
28:25.204 --> 28:47.205
[SPEAKER_01]: see while relying so much on you know flyouts instead and and I can go Thompson with the ground out so everyone is just groundouts or flyouts and it's good like to at least get you for their you know into the night but when you you're getting to the eighth and the night you need you guys who can go up there and shut the door down instead of just giving these teams chance up to chance at the chance because
28:47.925 --> 29:09.833
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we were saying about your don't you get one guy on for your don't that this game could have changed in a hurry But instead the the ball thing guys came out You know when they got a guy on base to get immediately got a couple strikeouts to end the thread and that's huge I'm that's that's a huge huge thing and the other thing I want to point out is could tell that home run I felt like not just changed everything but change
29:10.973 --> 29:22.116
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, do whole, I guess, five that just seemed to have just, you can feel like energy shift with this team, like, you know, they did just been playing just really pathetic baseball.
29:22.136 --> 29:23.797
[SPEAKER_01]: And after that, you just seemed like everything changed.
29:23.817 --> 29:26.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I know this core change obviously tied to the game.
29:26.917 --> 29:32.319
[SPEAKER_01]: But at that point, it felt like the D-backs finally have their, like, answer back moment that they've been,
29:32.919 --> 29:46.235
[SPEAKER_01]: needing these last few weeks, they finally got that home run, they came back, they won this game, they held a lead, you know, really put the pressure on the Astros in a way where the D-backs finally won't the ones who are feeling the pressure.
29:46.296 --> 29:51.442
[SPEAKER_01]: So, hopefully this is a change in this team and the team dynamic, and like I've said,
29:52.583 --> 29:55.185
[SPEAKER_01]: with this pitching stat, four runs, five runs.
29:55.205 --> 29:55.846
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all you need.
29:55.866 --> 29:59.328
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to win most of the games you were able to at least put up four or five runs.
29:59.849 --> 30:03.111
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't rely on one run to get the job done.
30:03.131 --> 30:03.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you just can.
30:03.892 --> 30:12.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's too many variables in baseball where 1 to 0 is just not as possible, even with the best pitching staff in baseball is just not going to happen nine
30:20.485 --> 30:22.046
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, I was, I was messing with my keyboard.
30:22.686 --> 30:44.093
[SPEAKER_02]: I do agree with you a lot on the, the Catel Marta being a live changer that, you know, obviously we've had a couple of wins here and there, but kind of going back to that Sunday game against the Giants, or sorry, that Saturday game against the Giants, the second one, I think the last big, you know, come back, which it wasn't really come back because the game was still tied, was that new bar grand slam, but they definitely failed that kind of, you know, the thing we've seen from this team for so many times throughout the season where,
30:44.613 --> 30:48.615
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they can have just one big inning where they put up, you know, a croaker number and next thing you know, they're back into this game.
30:48.995 --> 30:51.376
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was only one run, obviously, but it was a game time one.
30:51.977 --> 30:56.239
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you, you know, at the end of the head that just, you could feel like the sigh of relief.
30:56.319 --> 30:59.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, they just got that pressure kind of alleviate and they're like, all right, you know what?
30:59.881 --> 31:00.801
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we're back.
31:01.181 --> 31:02.542
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, this is what we needed.
31:02.562 --> 31:03.422
[SPEAKER_02]: We're still this team.
31:03.442 --> 31:04.243
[SPEAKER_02]: We can, you know, we.
31:05.352 --> 31:33.099
[SPEAKER_02]: have a lot of room to still improve, but we're not this one run per game kind of offense and let's prove it, so I think that was a big thing there, like you said, but also we'll definitely talk about it through, especially the next one bullpen to shut down again, I think that's something that is going to be the the best part of this team, when everything is all said and done and I'm hoping that we can at least let them see some some October innings because mentioned in the last show, bullpen wins you games in the playoffs and we have a bullpen to do that.
31:33.819 --> 31:35.824
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Brandon sending it on to you now my friend.
31:35.864 --> 31:37.307
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of stuck out to you in this game?
31:37.848 --> 31:44.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's something you want to piggyback on what Gabe said, whether it's a hotel in the Volpan or something, you know, completely different that, you know, we haven't heard mentioned yet tonight.
31:45.883 --> 32:11.852
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... no it's uh... could tell marté uh... could tell marté like it uh... the game was spun on it changed the vibes because i think they all were like pressing really hard the last few gate like they were all trying to get that big hit and they just no one was able to get it like four straight games of one run is not good and the like what three of the games were because of a solo homer
32:13.180 --> 32:17.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Lawler had won McCann and we somehow won a game wellings going one run.
32:18.085 --> 32:19.766
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think they all were trying really hard.
32:19.806 --> 32:35.520
[SPEAKER_03]: So just I know that we got the second run on the new bar a double which if you were watching the Fox broadcast was really weird Because the way that they cut it like I couldn't tell if it was a Homer or if it bounced and hit the wall
32:36.390 --> 32:40.592
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he was really like they just edited it, really, really odd.
32:41.693 --> 32:44.354
[SPEAKER_03]: But that Marte Homer was absolutely huge.
32:44.914 --> 32:49.877
[SPEAKER_03]: Got it, tie game, going into extras, and they executed in extras.
32:50.297 --> 32:52.478
[SPEAKER_03]: That's another big thing that stood out to me.
32:52.758 --> 32:58.020
[SPEAKER_03]: Pradoma got the butt down, get thrown at a third, and Gabby came through and hit it over Gabby Lane.
32:58.040 --> 33:03.523
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't hit it through Gabby Lane, hit it over Gabby Lane to drive in Vargas.
33:05.444 --> 33:09.507
[SPEAKER_03]: Garcia, like that whole sequence with Yoran was very interesting.
33:09.547 --> 33:16.231
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I thought they were pitching around them because to be honest, his run didn't really matter too much.
33:17.592 --> 33:18.853
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he was going to be on first.
33:18.873 --> 33:23.335
[SPEAKER_03]: They would probably pinch run for him because they want to get a guy the score on a double or something.
33:24.116 --> 33:27.358
[SPEAKER_03]: And those first three pitches were just non-competitive pitches.
33:27.438 --> 33:31.000
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they were just all the way out of the strike zone.
33:31.921 --> 33:34.683
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he fools him on a sinker.
33:35.388 --> 33:38.810
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I was like, y'all, how do you miss that?
33:39.971 --> 33:44.934
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he was expecting another sweeper, because he had basically thrown all sweepers up to that point.
33:45.455 --> 33:47.116
[SPEAKER_03]: He had thrown four and a row.
33:47.136 --> 33:52.279
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think he was expecting another sweeper, and he gets thrown the thinker, and he just gets frozen.
33:52.820 --> 33:55.702
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, match the class by Brandon Garcia.
33:57.936 --> 33:59.518
[SPEAKER_03]: Just he's been so good.
33:59.899 --> 34:12.358
[SPEAKER_03]: Branding RCA has been just so good against lefties too, like in general, but he's just been so dominant lately that I want to see
34:14.113 --> 34:21.717
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to see them as the closer because what if we have to face a lefty in the seventh inning.
34:22.257 --> 34:25.158
[SPEAKER_03]: And that could be the biggest at the end of the game.
34:25.578 --> 34:36.464
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the problem with when you have a lefty as your closer is you have to decide, like, sometimes the save comes in the seventh, sometimes it comes in the eighth.
34:37.325 --> 34:43.390
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but the nice thing is we have a lot of guys in this bullpener right now that can get the job done.
34:43.930 --> 34:44.711
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, we've seen it.
34:45.131 --> 34:47.293
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen Maria get the job done.
34:47.313 --> 34:49.995
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen Ginko, we've seen LaWisaGa.
34:50.515 --> 34:53.497
[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully soon, we'll be able to see J-Mart do it.
34:53.738 --> 34:55.179
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, J-Mart has looked pretty good.
34:55.199 --> 35:02.785
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if the fact is, command's been a little, it if he, but like, he's coming back from Tommy John, like,
35:03.525 --> 35:26.835
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not excited to hand it be perfect and then it's kind of like or the injury he had the at times control issues to that splitter is just disgusting that splitter is just not fair like it's like still on a knuckleball up there literally spinning like 800 like revolutions per minute and apparently knuckleballs average like 700 RPM so when you're throwing like a 93 like 90 93 mile or
35:32.301 --> 35:36.623
[SPEAKER_01]: credit to the catchers to the fact that they're able to like to catch it as well.
35:37.003 --> 35:40.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, he's placing it where it seems to be like where they wanted to.
35:40.924 --> 35:42.004
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of the crazy thing.
35:42.024 --> 35:45.086
[SPEAKER_01]: You see that where they set up a, well, that's more or less where he's throwing it to.
35:45.166 --> 35:54.509
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not like he's letting too many get away for him, but still like there was a, I can't remember that catcher's name, but like basically Tim Wakefield's personal career catcher.
36:00.711 --> 36:06.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know if you weren't guys remember that story where they traded for him just because nobody could catch them, wake you up, not the ball in Boston.
36:06.892 --> 36:15.334
[SPEAKER_01]: So they traded for him, gave him literally like a police escort from the airplane from the airport to get to to Fenway.
36:16.855 --> 36:22.836
[SPEAKER_01]: But I kind of wanted to answer one of the questions here by a fatty Schroeder saying, let's go see a draft should to be a starting pitcher.
36:23.516 --> 36:26.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Most, like, it's very, very rare that
36:30.838 --> 36:36.381
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll basically every reliever, every closer, everything, they were all failed starting pitchers.
36:36.861 --> 36:56.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's really rare for somebody to actually get drafted as a closer, because usually even in college and stuff like that in high school, the guys who are closing games usually are like the best pitcher on the team, which are usually a starter, like I'm sure, even the guy like Paul Scheme has a few sails under his belt, just because of the way, you know,
36:58.353 --> 37:17.479
[SPEAKER_01]: sometimes in college and in high school they don't need closers or relievers either and like guys go night and things all the time down there so I don't think he was drafted like I can't see anything that he was drafted as a reliever specifically but yeah like I said most of them most most pictures are always drafted as starters rather than relievers
37:18.172 --> 37:31.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there are definitely some that are drafted with like, you know, coming out of the draft that are profiled to be more of like a reliever, like land in Sims when we draft to him, definitely more of a, you know, we'd all be like, all right, he's the most likely to be reliever, but I do think a lot of teams at least try them out.
37:31.260 --> 37:41.487
[SPEAKER_02]: We're like, all right, we'll see how you do as a starter and then go from there, like, it probably a 90% chance that you're going to be a reliever, but we'll at least, you know, give it a shot, but,
37:41.947 --> 37:44.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say I'm not sure if you use a start in the Mariners organization.
37:44.910 --> 37:48.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he ever got enough paintings plus the weird thing about the miners is so hard to tell.
37:48.413 --> 37:54.418
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean you can even look at some of the D-backs minor league pitchers like human land and some of those on the names mean you might be like wow that's low innings.
37:54.438 --> 37:57.381
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like yeah cuz D-backs refuse to let them really go past five innings.
37:57.801 --> 38:00.764
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're not going to, you know, stack up kind of innings like that going forward, but
38:01.424 --> 38:27.537
[SPEAKER_02]: kind of a Brandon was saying about Brandon Garcia just you know how phenomenal he's been and you make a great point of Brandon where yes it'd be nice to have him as a certified closer but then you wouldn't get what you got here in especially on Sunday's game we'll dive into in a second when sorry real quick i found is the college page he started he played 24 games 19 were as starts so he was starting college okay so he was
38:30.578 --> 38:48.563
[SPEAKER_02]: But it kind of what Brando's saying where yes, it's nice to have him as a certified closure because how good he is, but it's also when you really only have one left in your bullpen, it can't be, you know, state of just to technically to technically to yes, I'm not counting Blake Walston, he he's I'm not going to say anything mean I don't have anything he's Blake Walston, I just don't think he's that good.
38:49.483 --> 38:51.524
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're not going to get what you saw here on Sunday.
38:51.544 --> 38:58.988
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll dive into in a second where, you know, your dog comes up, runners on, you know, first and second, you need a big out there against a lefty.
38:59.028 --> 38:59.709
[SPEAKER_02]: Who do you call upon?
38:59.749 --> 39:01.890
[SPEAKER_02]: You call upon Brandon Garcia and he gets the job done.
39:02.010 --> 39:04.591
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you don't have that if he's your certified closer.
39:04.971 --> 39:11.775
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know, even in your past, we mentioned before, how like, all right, you need a lockdown closer, because let's, let's, let's, everybody slot into their roles.
39:12.195 --> 39:38.767
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, I feel like the one year where the D-backs can actually get away with it, kind of like what Brandon was saying, where there's just so many people in this bullpen, and even like Gabriel saying, so many of these guys that can just strike somebody out, that you can go with from much any of the Wisegham, Rio, Ginkl, J. Mar Garcia, just anywhere in like the 7th or 9th, and obviously you could slot in Taylor Clark and there for a few items here and there, but I think he's definitely more, you know, middle-releaf maybe not as high leverage, but there's definitely a lot of high leverage arms in this
39:39.847 --> 39:53.833
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's basically an embarrassment of riches, which is very, very phenomenal see, but one more note on the Jamard that I know, because we only saw him in Game One, phenomenal, but let me tell you, leave the challenging to the catchers who are already not that great at it.
39:54.113 --> 40:04.938
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys didn't see he threw a splitter that missed by what four or five inches almost, you know, good, a good, full, a couple of baseballs outside the zone and he was very confident in his challenge and it was, uh,
40:05.679 --> 40:13.409
[SPEAKER_03]: It was not used not use well because it was not he probably got a talking to after the game He's and they're like let's leave that to the captures.
40:13.790 --> 40:19.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like we don't let pictures challenge for a reason Everybody and that's why I believe I was first one right the first one the whole season
40:21.651 --> 40:38.668
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that might have been the D-Bax first picture challenge, so I don't think I think Torio from the jump was like, hey, let's leave it to either the catchers or is a batter, because the one thing about pitchers is they're always so confident that everything's a strike even when it's not an actual strike, so that's kind of what we saw there in game one.
40:39.469 --> 40:42.110
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say, just a great come back when they're from this team.
40:42.550 --> 40:47.772
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we can all be in agreement that the Catell home run just definitely change the vibes for this team going the rest of the game.
40:47.872 --> 40:53.034
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously, time the game is a game changer, but that was definitely a big moment there.
40:53.074 --> 40:56.155
[SPEAKER_02]: Love to see the kind of emotion that you're showing to being able to pivot.
40:56.235 --> 41:01.337
[SPEAKER_02]: And as always, the one thing I did miss about Catell home runs is going on Instagram and seeing the 30 different
41:01.697 --> 41:17.636
[SPEAKER_02]: parts of his story that are all just people tagging him in like literally if you ever get to home run just post it on your Instagram story and I 95% sure that he is going to repost it into his story just because he's like yes yes give me all the love i love it i love it so
41:18.276 --> 41:23.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Make sure you guys, you know, do that if you get the chance and also call on what a boys join the fantasy league.
41:23.139 --> 41:23.780
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate it.
41:23.800 --> 41:24.040
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
41:24.100 --> 41:27.402
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys, like I said earlier, join our discord and join the fantasy league.
41:27.422 --> 41:30.064
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to get that filled up as much as possible before the season starts.
41:30.324 --> 41:33.125
[SPEAKER_02]: We're thinking about a fun punishment for last place.
41:33.546 --> 41:38.609
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the options floated out there was, you know, if you finish the last place, you got to go to d-backs game wearing a Dodgers hat.
41:39.229 --> 41:40.470
[SPEAKER_02]: Which I don't know if anybody wants to do.
41:40.510 --> 41:49.978
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's that's the reason why it's a punishment because You want to try your best not to be in last or something that could be easier because I mean even me I don't think I can fathom spending money on a Dodgers hat.
41:50.578 --> 41:52.159
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe doing like a you know last.
41:52.179 --> 41:52.419
[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool
41:54.477 --> 41:55.298
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
41:55.318 --> 41:55.658
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
41:56.439 --> 42:01.742
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe at least that way not to spend money, but another one we're thinking of is maybe doing a 24-hour Waffle House challenge.
42:01.782 --> 42:07.906
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely used a bunch, but you get 24 hours in a Waffle House every waffle you eat knocks an hour off of how long you have to be there.
42:07.946 --> 42:18.353
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's up to you if you want to fast before it so you can gather as quick as possible so you can see maybe two fights at most, because we know there's definitely some brawls that go down in those Waffle houses.
42:18.414 --> 42:18.554
[SPEAKER_02]: But
42:19.234 --> 42:21.395
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so yeah, again, make sure you join the discord for all that fun stuff.
42:21.415 --> 42:22.055
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be doing that here.
42:22.095 --> 42:24.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully soon because the season is going to be starting here soon.
42:24.876 --> 42:29.218
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe kick-off is on Thursday, but I will not hear this because Wednesday is Wednesday.
42:29.238 --> 42:29.658
[SPEAKER_02]: What the fuck?
42:30.078 --> 42:31.199
[SPEAKER_02]: That's weird.
42:31.219 --> 42:32.819
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, we'll wrap them on Tuesday.
42:33.059 --> 42:35.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's why we need to get this filled up as a ASAP.
42:35.540 --> 42:39.082
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're already in the discord, send it to a friend, get them to the join the whole week.
42:39.402 --> 42:41.503
[SPEAKER_01]: How many spots and how many of you guys have so far?
42:42.423 --> 42:47.545
[SPEAKER_03]: So I sent it at 12, but I'm willing to move it to 10 if we can get 10 people.
42:49.520 --> 42:50.601
[SPEAKER_03]: And how are we out like our six?
42:51.601 --> 42:54.062
[SPEAKER_02]: We're currently at seven.
42:54.722 --> 42:56.263
[SPEAKER_02]: So many three more three more.
42:56.283 --> 43:00.984
[SPEAKER_02]: So gave it if you want to hop in, maybe we can try to bully Josh in the joining too, or Oscar.
43:01.985 --> 43:06.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so older brothers, a lot better than me at that fantasy.
43:07.427 --> 43:10.668
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll ask him, he was looking for a one to join.
43:10.688 --> 43:14.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I think some, the one that he was on before, I think they're not doing it this year.
43:14.890 --> 43:15.850
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's probably looking for a one.
43:16.422 --> 43:16.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Perfect.
43:16.682 --> 43:17.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and let them know.
43:17.503 --> 43:20.244
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't jumped in so we can at least get it filled before before Tuesday.
43:20.264 --> 43:20.705
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll need it.
43:20.725 --> 43:22.386
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll need a draft before the game start.
43:22.406 --> 43:28.109
[SPEAKER_02]: But going on in today's game, the series finale, the rubber match of this series obviously.
43:28.129 --> 43:29.971
[SPEAKER_02]: There's been huge.
43:30.011 --> 43:35.914
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a, you know, we, we, a lot of people alone will say not ever get not many games are must wins in early September.
43:36.535 --> 43:43.980
[SPEAKER_02]: But I would say that this was a must win game and a must win series, especially considering where the, the, the plodries were able to take their series of the Yankees to the debacks.
43:44.720 --> 43:48.923
[SPEAKER_02]: In this one, it needed the win to stay a half game ahead of the podgers and thankfully.
43:49.644 --> 43:54.147
[SPEAKER_02]: We had the man on the bunch to do it, but before the game even started, we got some roster news.
43:54.308 --> 44:02.954
[SPEAKER_02]: Max Isis Kepler was actually deified and released from this team, and the ADC was recalled from Reno to take his place, so no longer have to deal with good old Max Kepler.
44:03.355 --> 44:11.101
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure what kind of blackmail he was using, but I feel like they gave him some pity at bats the last two games and games won games too before they knew they're going to get rid of him.
44:11.821 --> 44:13.402
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was the roster we've made before the game.
44:13.762 --> 44:16.284
[SPEAKER_02]: But once the game got started, Ace Rod was on the bump.
44:16.764 --> 44:21.167
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, not the prettiest outing, but it was really solid yet again.
44:21.948 --> 44:27.812
[SPEAKER_02]: Six innings, three hits, one earned two walks and six trackouts on 96 pitches, 59 for strikes, so definitely.
44:28.412 --> 44:32.075
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe more balls than we were expecting, but he was able to throw at least more strikes.
44:32.295 --> 44:37.038
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was his 15th win on the season, which is his most since he was a red stock in 2019.
44:37.078 --> 44:39.780
[SPEAKER_02]: Crazy say it's got 15 wins, but not a strike now at my bingo card.
44:40.360 --> 44:45.782
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, if that one-home run to Yordon Alvarez and the first, but that was all the damage that the Astros would do, you can see, Rod.
44:46.863 --> 44:49.084
[SPEAKER_02]: I said earlier, Brandon, what the whiffs?
44:49.184 --> 44:51.465
[SPEAKER_02]: Yordon basically just said, hey, hold my beard, both of you guys.
44:51.485 --> 44:54.146
[SPEAKER_02]: He had 19 whiffs in this game.
44:54.606 --> 44:57.747
[SPEAKER_02]: Nine on this change, four on his force, or sorry, seven on the four seamer.
44:58.068 --> 44:59.488
[SPEAKER_02]: Two on the cutter and one on the curve.
44:59.508 --> 45:03.790
[SPEAKER_02]: So the change up is one of his best pitches just had the Astros, just swinging and missing.
45:04.370 --> 45:12.973
[SPEAKER_02]: The ERN season now down to 255, which is lowest since 2023, and his most innings pitched at 173, which is the most since 2019.
45:13.013 --> 45:19.015
[SPEAKER_02]: So just a phenomenal season free rod, either a career year or second best year of his career, which is phenomenal.
45:19.035 --> 45:28.438
[SPEAKER_02]: The offense in this one all came from James McKinney getting a sack fly and the no-naronado getting a two run home run for his 22nd on the season and absolute blasts out in 103 off the bat 385 feet.
45:30.579 --> 45:55.357
[SPEAKER_02]: Predomo, unfortunately, did not escape this game cleanly as Katsel Marte did have a 93 mile hour line drive that he kind of jumped into the ball, you know, he could have ducked and avoided it, but sometimes when the balls hit that hard, you don't really have much time to react, he did try to avoid it, but unfortunately he did hit him, it looked like he hit off his helmet thankfully and avoided hitting him in the face or like, you know, direct contact to him, so hopefully the helmet was able to, you know,
45:55.978 --> 45:58.383
[SPEAKER_02]: It was worth most of the damage, but he was removed from the game.
45:58.704 --> 46:04.357
[SPEAKER_02]: The D-back support, it was a head contusion, and the Nike will be monitored today and into tomorrow, so hopefully everything's all good.
46:05.566 --> 46:10.229
[SPEAKER_02]: mentioned earlier with how good the bullpen is, but they were, you know, in this one, phenomenal as well.
46:10.589 --> 46:12.930
[SPEAKER_02]: As just in the entire series, they were, oh, they were great.
46:12.950 --> 46:15.171
[SPEAKER_02]: They combined to go 8 and 2, 3rds this series.
46:15.552 --> 46:16.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Five hits, one earned run.
46:17.152 --> 46:17.853
[SPEAKER_02]: No walks.
46:18.053 --> 46:22.015
[SPEAKER_02]: The entire series from the bullpen with 14 strikeouts combined.
46:22.055 --> 46:23.416
[SPEAKER_02]: So kind of what gave us going back to earlier.
46:23.436 --> 46:25.797
[SPEAKER_02]: We got some strike throwers and guys that will get some swing and missing.
46:25.817 --> 46:26.818
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what we got in the series.
46:27.258 --> 46:36.908
[SPEAKER_02]: especially Ginkl there in the ninth inning, struck out the side, I mean getting your dawn to swing and miss on a disgusting slider that's one of his best pitches and one of the best pitches for the entire D-backs pitching staff.
46:37.469 --> 46:43.215
[SPEAKER_02]: I think his slider is like the second best when you're going off of runs value per stat cast, so shout out to him on this one.
46:43.555 --> 46:50.042
[SPEAKER_02]: Also shout out to our man Jesse Freeman, he had this tweet that said the last five games for Kemi Ginkl, he's gone four and one-third innings.
46:50.542 --> 46:58.312
[SPEAKER_02]: with zero hits, walks or runs, and eight strikeouts, so I think that's all since the rough eighth inning yet in San Francisco, so he's bounced back in a big way.
46:58.713 --> 47:05.642
[SPEAKER_02]: And that D-backs win there, the three to two win was their 43rd comeback win in the season, so adding on to their major league lead.
47:06.463 --> 47:08.485
[SPEAKER_02]: in comeback wins on the year.
47:08.585 --> 47:22.121
[SPEAKER_02]: So a great game from the D-backs often stood just enough with the pitching yet again carries them on to a win and a big time when to keep that half game lead over the podgers before we head on into Kansas City front of the big three game series here
47:22.801 --> 47:26.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Coming up to start Monday, but Gabe actually know what we're changing up over the Brandon.
47:26.422 --> 47:37.664
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to you first on this one What's that got to see the most in this one whether it be e-rod whether it be the bullpen yet again or maybe even a little bit of a you know some offense here That we kind of got cuz I know Corbin another name.
47:37.704 --> 47:42.985
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been you know swinging it well the last two games at least You know a couple doubles here up to 30 plus on the season already.
47:43.005 --> 47:43.646
[SPEAKER_02]: I was all right.
47:43.666 --> 47:50.127
[SPEAKER_02]: I think over 30 already on the season What kind of stuff got to you in this very very crucial when you're on Sunday?
47:51.802 --> 47:55.706
[SPEAKER_03]: pitching, pitching was phenomenal in this game erod.
47:56.667 --> 48:06.498
[SPEAKER_03]: The fact that he has an ERA of six in the first inning and then like ending two through seven is like under two blows my mind.
48:07.482 --> 48:11.966
[SPEAKER_03]: blows my mind that he just, he struggles out the gate, but he figures it out.
48:12.446 --> 48:14.487
[SPEAKER_03]: He rides the ship, he gets it done.
48:15.028 --> 48:19.131
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's just crazy to me, just how much he struggles in the first.
48:19.171 --> 48:29.779
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, toy kind of brought it up in the post game of post conference, like it might just be the transition from the bullpen mound to the actual game mound and it's just a little bit different for him.
48:30.180 --> 48:33.262
[SPEAKER_03]: So he just takes one ending to adjust to it.
48:37.125 --> 48:38.165
[SPEAKER_03]: is really impressive.
48:39.046 --> 48:42.707
[SPEAKER_03]: Like that is, uh, that's insane.
48:42.847 --> 48:50.370
[SPEAKER_03]: But on 19 on what 96 pages, so almost 20 percent, like that's, that's pretty incredible.
48:51.370 --> 48:55.212
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and yeah, we, we've talked about just how good this bullpen is.
48:56.432 --> 49:05.038
[SPEAKER_03]: And for so long, I would rather have a guy that strikes out, has the ability to strike guys out than pitch the contact.
49:05.418 --> 49:11.683
[SPEAKER_03]: I cannot stand in the bullpen, pitch the contact, drives me nuts because you are asking for trouble.
49:12.363 --> 49:16.786
[SPEAKER_03]: You are asking for trouble if you want guys to make contact.
49:17.447 --> 49:19.968
[SPEAKER_03]: And I still feel the same way about starting pitchers, too.
49:20.649 --> 49:21.990
[SPEAKER_03]: Once they go pitch the contact,
49:23.149 --> 49:26.317
[SPEAKER_03]: doesn't bother me as much because you have more of
49:27.347 --> 49:29.568
[SPEAKER_03]: five, six antings for them to get it done.
49:30.248 --> 49:38.792
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but yeah, the bullpen phenomenon, 14 strikeouts in almost nine antings is really impressive.
49:38.952 --> 49:43.534
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, glad that Ginkl's kind of, because it's weird.
49:43.554 --> 49:50.076
[SPEAKER_03]: He has like a bad outing and when he has a bad outing, it's a bad, bad outing.
49:50.136 --> 49:51.217
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it's a blowup.
49:51.257 --> 49:52.918
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he gives up like four or five
49:54.533 --> 49:59.694
[SPEAKER_03]: But then he figures it out and he pitches extremely well, like he has in his last five.
50:00.154 --> 50:03.275
[SPEAKER_03]: And he looks really good here in the ninth inning.
50:03.715 --> 50:06.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Garcia won round two against Yordon.
50:08.776 --> 50:11.036
[SPEAKER_03]: So Garcia owns Yordon Outerism.
50:11.196 --> 50:13.377
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe Garcia is his kryptonite.
50:14.137 --> 50:18.858
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that people are telling him, hey, he's Yordaddy, but it's, take out your welcome.
50:20.287 --> 50:21.728
[SPEAKER_03]: You had to get that in there, didn't you?
50:22.328 --> 50:22.708
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
50:23.568 --> 50:28.611
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just, I think Perdomal will be okay because they just said it's ahead of contusion.
50:28.691 --> 50:33.633
[SPEAKER_03]: So hopefully, I ain't no calling in the chat says I've already placed tomorrow.
50:34.333 --> 50:35.353
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he does.
50:35.373 --> 50:39.375
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he sits tomorrow, but I do think he plays on Tuesday.
50:41.911 --> 50:56.570
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I think I think they're just going to be more cautionary with them to make sure, especially, you know, being a head injury, the majorly baseball doesn't really play around with, they actually care about their players on like the NFL with like, to incursions and beating women, get back out their champ, we got a game to play.
50:57.390 --> 50:59.773
[SPEAKER_02]: released in baseball, they're like, all right, you know, let's still roll a little bit.
50:59.793 --> 51:06.079
[SPEAKER_02]: So I would not be surprised if he gets another day off, but hopefully it's nothing serious and he's good to go because he's uh, he's he's very tough.
51:06.099 --> 51:15.348
[SPEAKER_02]: It takes a lot to take part on a lot of it, but Yeah, even though one more note about the other bullpen there, even if you take out a loisagos game, I mean, three of those five hits all came from the loisagos on the one run.
51:15.828 --> 51:20.313
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you just butterknife that out there, I think it's what seven and two thirds with two hits no runs, no walks.
51:20.713 --> 51:25.934
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think still 12 or 13 track, I was going to think Johnny Lazzoni only had two today, I'm going to double check.
51:25.954 --> 51:27.275
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the wise guy too.
51:27.315 --> 51:36.877
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's still be 72 thirds, two hits, no runs on 12 strikeouts for the rest of the bullpen outside of Lazzoni is I wouldn't say bad outing the Ash was just put up a couple of good hits there in that inning.
51:37.297 --> 51:39.017
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, it's just, it's phenomenal.
51:39.037 --> 51:42.178
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen we could talk about this bullpen every single game, every single series in general, but
51:42.738 --> 52:02.063
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say, not sure what the issue is hit with the, you run the first inning, but it's always nice to see and be able to settle in and kind of, you know, go the rest of the way because that's sometimes what we see in the past, especially last year, where he'd had that bad first inning and then the second and third inning isn't much better and then we're already into the bullpen with, you know, six innings to go and we're, we're getting gas with this series.
52:02.083 --> 52:02.283
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
52:02.783 --> 52:04.984
[SPEAKER_02]: You just turn around here for your rod continues.
52:05.804 --> 52:07.844
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just generally great all around game in this one.
52:07.864 --> 52:10.165
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you guys got the clutch hits on the needed two?
52:10.905 --> 52:18.706
[SPEAKER_02]: They had the clutch bolt pin pitching on the needed and they just were able to, you know, deny the astros of having their big moment in this one thankfully.
52:18.746 --> 52:20.827
[SPEAKER_02]: So, game onto you, my friend.
52:21.067 --> 52:26.328
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of stuck out to you in this game three finale here that had the debacks taking a close three to two win?
52:28.133 --> 52:47.425
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess, like Brandt said, a lot of it is depicting, I mean, the fact that they kept your on, I just took the stat, you went one for ten with three strikeouts in this series, like that's huge, the fact that they were able to hold off the, you know, probable NBP, one for ten, just the one home run that he hit today, but that's it.
52:48.105 --> 52:50.046
[SPEAKER_01]: like I'm looking, go on over my three for ten there, right?
52:50.126 --> 52:51.186
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, but it didn't hit.
52:51.206 --> 52:52.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it didn't hit.
52:52.246 --> 52:52.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it didn't hit.
52:52.827 --> 52:53.327
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't hit.
52:53.427 --> 52:55.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that the home runs as yeah, three for ten there, right?
52:56.508 --> 53:02.049
[SPEAKER_01]: So three for ten, but three strikeouts, you know, obviously he's still your on, but not doing a lot of damage with that.
53:02.069 --> 53:03.730
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really, really, just the one RBI.
53:03.770 --> 53:06.411
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's huge for this team.
53:07.811 --> 53:33.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just that, a lot of hits, they had a lot of hits in this game, that nine hits works not much actual scoring in their solo for four, so as a series in total, I think they also win like another over 10 or one for 12 or something like that, which runs in score position, just not doing a lot there unfortunately, but E-Rod still I guess just continues to impress, just the fact that he didn't start off good in this game.
53:34.096 --> 53:58.548
[SPEAKER_01]: releasing to the labor at times and still gave six innings just one run six strike out it's like that's huge the fact that you when he's struggling he still does really good job and you know gators team a chance to win uh his he's erry total as a dime back is now 3.88 which again there's just going lower and lower with like I said before like he's going to be and if he continues there's he's going to be in a lot of
53:59.368 --> 54:03.691
[SPEAKER_01]: D-backs top 10 with pitching-wise and we've had a lot of great pictures here.
54:03.711 --> 54:10.537
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had Zygranky, Kirk Chilling, Brandon Wey, Randy Johnson, like a 1-4 or a 4-straight.
54:11.217 --> 54:15.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Zyung's probably should have won like five or six in a row if it wasn't for that.
54:16.481 --> 54:17.462
[SPEAKER_01]: The S-241.
54:19.183 --> 54:23.987
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's been great for this team and he's been a huge lifesaver because
54:24.567 --> 54:26.529
[SPEAKER_01]: They desperately needed this win.
54:26.549 --> 54:33.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they just could not be a series loss because they've lost I believe two out of the last three series.
54:33.193 --> 54:45.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it is like they they're gonna slide right now and With the podries, you know on the slide as well, but they're gonna either win today or whatever You can't just keep matching loss for loss for wins for wins with the podgers yet to start winning.
54:45.822 --> 54:52.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So They have 18 games left and if you ride spitting at least three of those games you feel confident that
54:53.686 --> 54:57.308
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, they could at least pick up through wins here and the rest of the kind of just have to work backwards.
54:58.849 --> 55:03.852
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I don't think it's, you know, it can be overstated just how huge it would have been this entire season.
55:04.272 --> 55:08.174
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, obviously, thoughts had a solid, you know, a month and a half since being recalled I guess two months now.
55:08.614 --> 55:16.498
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, from day one ever since the World Baseball Classic championship where he helped to Venezuela take home the title, he's just been a completely different pitcher.
55:16.518 --> 55:20.781
[SPEAKER_02]: So, once again, shout out to Salvi for fixing E-rod, whatever he needed to do, or once
55:23.542 --> 55:27.964
[SPEAKER_02]: He was actually able to, you know, get a little bit healthier going on season, you know, get into better shape.
55:28.004 --> 55:28.784
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe that's it.
55:28.804 --> 55:35.067
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's just, you know, something mechanically, not sure what it is, but it's been nice to know that it's not like one of those were always had two good months.
55:35.087 --> 55:36.047
[SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of come back on earth.
55:36.467 --> 55:37.928
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm doing it this entire time.
55:37.948 --> 55:42.329
[SPEAKER_02]: I said 15 wins having that ERA as a D back down like even what do you say 35 35.
55:44.170 --> 55:50.175
[SPEAKER_02]: Or whatever it was, after the rough two years that he had to begin his DBX career is just phenomenal.
55:50.195 --> 56:05.666
[SPEAKER_02]: See where I'm turning around and definitely has been earning that contract and just being one of the along with the bullpen kind of some of the more, you know, MVP names for this team and the reason why they have, you know, the lead and the wildcard they currently have and the amount of wins they do because
56:06.306 --> 56:18.568
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I know Windsor and overrated pitcher stat, but it does also kind of give a lot of credit to him because, you know, in a game like this, he's able to keep them well in the game and give them a huge or big big chance to win the game.
56:18.588 --> 56:19.349
[SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly what he did.
56:19.369 --> 56:28.811
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously the offense is able to do their job at least just enough with the bullpen carrying it the rest of the way, but a phenomenal win like you said can't keep relying on other teams to do the job for you.
56:28.851 --> 56:31.031
[SPEAKER_02]: You need to win when you have the opportunity to win.
56:31.451 --> 56:32.591
[SPEAKER_02]: and thankfully they able to do that.
56:33.132 --> 56:33.632
[SPEAKER_02]: It does suck.
56:33.652 --> 56:39.014
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like they had the opportunity to sweep this series with hindsight, but the Astros are still a good team.
56:39.714 --> 56:42.135
[SPEAKER_02]: They're in, you know, the first place in the L.S.
56:42.155 --> 56:42.615
[SPEAKER_02]: for a reason.
56:42.935 --> 56:47.496
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not like we were going up against a Colorado Rockies, which obviously we lost the series to them, which is just hilarious.
56:47.516 --> 56:48.277
[SPEAKER_02]: We can be the Astros.
56:48.297 --> 56:48.937
[SPEAKER_02]: We can be the Cubs.
56:49.277 --> 56:50.697
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't fucking beat the Rockies.
56:51.078 --> 56:52.058
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes no sense to me.
56:52.078 --> 56:55.099
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully we can make care for that here in the next week or so, but
56:55.719 --> 57:07.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the comments, at least I wanted to highlight here in the chat, which as always we appreciate all you guys tuning in and we got Colin, Fatty, Justin, Sean, and some of the legends probably lurking as well here, but we appreciate you guys tuning on in.
57:09.082 --> 57:12.543
[SPEAKER_02]: Fatty San, I was actually shocked there, I'll just score with risk, but hopefully we can continue to score runs.
57:12.563 --> 57:20.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they definitely need the offense to kind of wake up a little bit, because the bullpen and the starting pitching is not going to be able to perform the way they have been every single game.
57:20.404 --> 57:23.765
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just statistically not possible, so the offense needs to start holding their own a little bit more.
57:25.126 --> 57:31.969
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin's asking you who's pitching tomorrow, we'll definitely dive into the next series going forward here in just a moment, so don't you worry we'll touch on that.
57:32.969 --> 57:35.610
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Call of the Sun earlier, you can't blame for giving up a Yordon bomb.
57:35.890 --> 57:38.031
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Yordon, it's Yordon and Baby Park.
57:38.412 --> 57:40.012
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the dudes got 38 bombs for a reason.
57:40.192 --> 57:44.014
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just, we were gonna keep them out of the home run call in the entire series.
57:44.074 --> 57:45.195
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just glad it was only one.
57:45.675 --> 57:50.077
[SPEAKER_02]: And not like he had four or five home runs and was able to cross 40 homes or 40 bombs in season.
57:50.777 --> 57:54.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Corbin barrels, a legend jumping in, what a family, what a Corbin.
57:54.040 --> 57:57.022
[SPEAKER_02]: I was appreciate you stopping on my hope you're having a great weekend with the family.
57:58.863 --> 58:01.204
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of going back to the column of saying about the bullpen.
58:01.224 --> 58:03.326
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, if we had this bullpen in 23, we would have won it all.
58:03.926 --> 58:06.508
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, 23, 24, we would have made the playoffs.
58:06.548 --> 58:11.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if we would have ever had this kind of bullpen, I mean, give us this kind of bullpen in like 2017.
58:11.892 --> 58:14.874
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, see where we go in in that wild card run, my goodness.
58:15.554 --> 58:18.416
[SPEAKER_02]: Or even in, you know, time travel give us this in 2011.
58:19.096 --> 58:28.041
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we, we knock out the brewers and then knock out the cartels, but maybe that's just me being still, you know, coping because, you know, that hurt my heart as it has a child washing the e-bex.
58:28.061 --> 58:32.504
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean, that kind of go back to what we were talking about with Perdomo.
58:33.044 --> 58:35.205
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean says, I think Tori said Jerry will be in the lab tomorrow.
58:35.806 --> 58:38.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Colonial says, that's what he thought he saw and then just didn't even confirm.
58:38.947 --> 58:42.109
[SPEAKER_02]: So it sounds like he will be in the lab and he's going off with Tori Levela says, but he knows,
58:46.598 --> 58:47.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Just tell me.
58:47.738 --> 58:59.321
[SPEAKER_01]: At least with that, we can talk about it now, I guess it was a contusion which is the skin or just underneath the skin so it wasn't like, you know, he got a concussion or something like that.
58:59.801 --> 59:03.042
[SPEAKER_01]: You obviously can't play it with the concussion because that actually rattles your brain.
59:04.082 --> 59:13.084
[SPEAKER_01]: So basically it's like he just got a bruised on his arm, played some of the top of his head, which obviously is still not great, but it's like a skin deep sort of situation thankfully.
59:15.144 --> 59:32.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Helmets are really important and helmet technology is kind of long long way and especially after seeing you know Loller get hit the way he did and You know you you're still reminded of like the junk car little stand time like you know Head and a lot of guys careers get really affected by this.
59:32.068 --> 59:41.990
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm really thankful for like, you know Helmets technology because even in the NFL I know those helmets look a little silly of the big ones, but we got it down like hey, it keeps you if you keep your brain
59:45.091 --> 01:00:00.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Like safety, I don't know if you guys are watching crazy Russian hacker but like safety is number one priority Like especially with guys brains like that's something that you like you really really need guys to watch because You know you get hit 98 in the head the wrong way.
01:00:00.895 --> 01:00:05.696
[SPEAKER_01]: It's lights out other physically or literally You know that might be it for you so
01:00:06.417 --> 01:00:21.918
[SPEAKER_01]: It's nice to see that he was able to recover and be okay, like as weird as it might be like almost luggy that it held hit him in the head area because it could be the helmet instead of him getting it on a place where he's going to broken and then he's just out for the rest of the season
01:00:23.184 --> 01:00:24.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say the Helmet Technologies huge.
01:00:24.924 --> 01:00:27.725
[SPEAKER_02]: If we can limit the amount of Antonio Browns, we have in the world going forward.
01:00:27.745 --> 01:00:30.026
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a huge win for society in general.
01:00:30.626 --> 01:00:33.287
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need any more CTSP in players out there.
01:00:33.647 --> 01:00:40.389
[SPEAKER_02]: And especially, you know, kind of you're talking about with the thing, I mean, it's still crazy to look back in time that, you know, obviously players have been throwing hard.
01:00:40.409 --> 01:00:41.349
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't have as many players.
01:00:42.189 --> 01:01:02.477
[SPEAKER_02]: there weren't as many players back in the day as there are now pumping like a hundred plus but I mean back when what Bob gives him was playing a hitters weren't wearing helmets, you know it wasn't a thing and that even the back into the 2000s I mean that's why base coach is now at the war helmets because I believe there was one in the giants minor league organization that unfortunately did pass away after being hit with a they fell ball because
01:01:03.077 --> 01:01:06.019
[SPEAKER_02]: in based coaches, it's like, who cares if you're wearing a helmet or not, you're not playing.
01:01:06.879 --> 01:01:20.046
[SPEAKER_02]: And that kind of situation happened to like, wow, it's very important to protect your head, especially when you have these kind of objects flying 90, even a 90-mon hour pitch hitting you in the head, like Gabe said, if you hit the wrong spot, you can do a lot of damage.
01:01:20.066 --> 01:01:20.586
[SPEAKER_02]: So shadow,
01:01:22.487 --> 01:01:27.209
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, glad that it was, you know, just a contusion and we didn't get, you know, oh, he's got a concussion.
01:01:27.229 --> 01:01:31.410
[SPEAKER_02]: He's out because, I mean, that's kind of what knocked you out at least, at least a week.
01:01:31.470 --> 01:01:33.471
[SPEAKER_02]: So, at least for the the Royal Series and the one after it.
01:01:34.932 --> 01:01:44.015
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if we want to deal with the little Mario Vargas as a defense, they're a short stop because I think even in today's game, uh, the ball that hose out to you, they hit that kind of led to that one run scoring against Lazania.
01:01:45.605 --> 01:01:49.268
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Jerry makes that play and we don't have to worry about the run scoring in general.
01:01:49.308 --> 01:02:02.519
[SPEAKER_02]: So glad that he's able to kind of miss any major injuries going forward and hopefully it'll be back whether tomorrow or on Tuesday for Corbin Burns first start as it deback on 2026 hopefully we can make sure that he is safe and good to go forward.
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:10.386
[SPEAKER_02]: But gentlemen, any of the final thoughts in this series in general for the Astros anything that we didn't touch on any other moments that you wanted to kind of highlight here before we move on?
01:02:13.667 --> 01:02:25.296
[SPEAKER_03]: One thing, the way that Tory handled bringing Garcia today was so odd, and so I really thought they were going to let Maria pitch to you and on in the seventh inning.
01:02:26.037 --> 01:02:28.899
[SPEAKER_03]: I was, it was so weird like,
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:43.695
[SPEAKER_03]: They had Brian Kaplan go out and, and then they had him face another batter, and then James McHan goes out for a mountain visit, like, they delayed it as long as they could to give Garcia enough time to get warmed up.
01:02:44.115 --> 01:02:46.598
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, they're doing the, the step off as well.
01:02:47.600 --> 01:02:56.903
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, that wasn't just like just doing everything that they could to give Garcia just a couple more pitches in the bullpen to get warmed up.
01:02:58.044 --> 01:03:00.084
[SPEAKER_03]: It's it was within the rules.
01:03:00.204 --> 01:03:01.205
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't realize that.
01:03:02.845 --> 01:03:08.090
[SPEAKER_03]: That step-off was one of the two disengagement that they had used for that at Battle Ready.
01:03:08.390 --> 01:03:10.292
[SPEAKER_03]: So Garcia only had one to use.
01:03:11.093 --> 01:03:12.834
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was a rule that I didn't know.
01:03:13.275 --> 01:03:17.979
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was two per pitcher, not two per at bat.
01:03:18.019 --> 01:03:24.505
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was just me not understanding the rule too much, but they worked out because he got him to pop up in Falter at Tor.
01:03:25.980 --> 01:03:50.058
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was a definitely because I was playing some some black flag while I had the game day up on my computer and I saw I was like this is a very long mound visit so that's when I went back after the inning and washed it over and was like wow yeah that was a definitely a oh shit we need them to get warm let's milk as much of the time as we possibly can because Murillo you're good I think he's still on his consecutive outing score let's treat too I think
01:03:55.222 --> 01:04:06.150
[SPEAKER_01]: because Christian Vases had gotten the single so he's on first and then with the opinion, like did they want just to give him enough time to warm up or was that just an accident?
01:04:06.190 --> 01:04:14.617
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they obviously gave him a lot more time with the fact that he got ahead and it was him, like in the arm, just with that little bit of the injury to lay.
01:04:14.657 --> 01:04:23.904
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was just very strange where it was just... Mount visit, Mount visits, step off, and it was basically like two minutes of just that time.
01:04:25.070 --> 01:04:40.933
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know what to see that in baseball nowadays, which I like because I did not miss back on the day when games would take three and a half hours unless you're an alcoholic and you want to drink as many beers you possibly can three and a half hour long baseball games unless you're going to an extra things is not fun like
01:04:41.654 --> 01:04:50.701
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm glad we have the rules about disengagement because there's one of those Dodger pictures that I think it like stepped off and would try to pick off like eight pitches in a row without throwing a pitch.
01:04:50.741 --> 01:04:55.565
[SPEAKER_02]: There's like a four minute window between pitches at should fucking horrible.
01:04:55.625 --> 01:04:56.045
[SPEAKER_02]: It sucked.
01:04:56.265 --> 01:04:57.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad we got the rules.
01:04:57.066 --> 01:05:02.650
[SPEAKER_02]: We got nowadays because I can not imagine whether it's my attention span or not, but it's nice to have actual action.
01:05:02.710 --> 01:05:08.494
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of the reasons why baseball is actually popular again because, you know, we're not sitting here like falling asleep in between every single pitch.
01:05:09.315 --> 01:05:12.437
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they just stay a very well played series well managed here as well.
01:05:12.457 --> 01:05:19.801
[SPEAKER_02]: So once again, you got to give Tori the the props he deserves for you know how he calls upon guys when he's been calling upon guys certain pinch hits and all that.
01:05:20.442 --> 01:05:30.347
[SPEAKER_02]: Outside of letting Max Kempler start the last few days that's the only issue I had with Tori this week, but maybe that was my case and going, hey man, we're getting rid of him Sunday morning.
01:05:31.348 --> 01:05:34.989
[SPEAKER_02]: given his final farewell at bats, you know, basically like, hey, thank you.
01:05:35.649 --> 01:05:46.232
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate what you did hit the fucking road bump because shocker, the guy that wasn't good and the last good season he had was because his steroids still isn't good.
01:05:46.292 --> 01:05:58.655
[SPEAKER_02]: So thankfully, we no longer are the deal with Max Kepler stealing ABs from anybody else, but sooner than we're going to deal with Lord of Scoreal stealing ABs from Lawler and Walshmit, which is a very, very unfortunate going forward,
01:05:59.355 --> 01:06:00.076
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean he has it.
01:06:00.116 --> 01:06:22.952
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he he has it in plates and still we've only faced right so which is Yeah, but I mean with the max couple of things like I always say or I guess we always say like we don't want guys So it's a drive like it's not great so you know as much as We despise payment on the field like off the field where like I ain't what's it does So I like it does I do they have which turn things around at least we're got a Kepler and my opinion
01:06:24.273 --> 01:06:45.647
[SPEAKER_01]: Like steroid guys don't belong in baseball, like you should know at that point like you shouldn't Be taking steroids because you're taking away If you're gonna take steroids at least be good like It's kind of the way I feel about the astros stains where it's like there's a couple guys who don't knock around by the Astros in 2017 and the careers ended like they would never brought up
01:06:46.307 --> 01:06:51.613
[SPEAKER_01]: back, you know, into base plan, you know, one of the hardest thing is to get up to the major leaks.
01:06:51.673 --> 01:06:54.376
[SPEAKER_01]: And usually when you're up there, you do okay.
01:06:54.756 --> 01:06:55.517
[SPEAKER_01]: You stay there.
01:06:55.958 --> 01:07:00.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And for guys to get knocked around the way, you know, the rest was there to some some guys.
01:07:00.743 --> 01:07:03.966
[SPEAKER_01]: That affects their entire career, even though it was cheating.
01:07:04.006 --> 01:07:04.987
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Max Kepler.
01:07:05.588 --> 01:07:26.660
[SPEAKER_01]: there could be could have been a couple guys who's career he ended because he just hit a timely home run while on you know PED so in my opinion these terror guys like there's just no redemption mark for me for any of these guys before 2000 you know after 2004 I'll say that anybody 2004 and before when it was okay by the league
01:07:27.340 --> 01:07:44.572
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine by me, but yeah, when you're affecting guys career and he's taking away opportunities from young guys as we saw here, just taking away a bath from guys like Lollar or Walshmit that carries on, you know, for years and so that really if they guys career is when you have a guy who's doing steroids or any sort of PDs.
01:07:45.987 --> 01:07:59.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say definitely like he said like after a four because I'm like that was back in the day like that's why the whole like when people were like oh Mark McGuire Stirred user like do that was back in the day when which I've said it before Baseball doesn't exist in a phenomenal video.
01:07:59.844 --> 01:08:04.530
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a two and a half hour long video on based like the history of steroids I'm looking up again.
01:08:04.570 --> 01:08:04.950
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's
01:08:05.851 --> 01:08:16.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a, you know, it's not a free promotion all that, but yeah, a two hour and 36 minute long video about the steroid, it just titled the steroid era was stranger than you remember.
01:08:16.477 --> 01:08:21.459
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically covers just like PEDs and just north American sports, even back in like horse racing and all that.
01:08:21.740 --> 01:08:31.705
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's a lot of great things that brought up in there, especially with, you know, regards like Mark McGuire, like the dude is a bodybuilder and steroids, I think baseball was like one of the last sports to like band steroids in general.
01:08:32.165 --> 01:08:37.672
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was just a thing that players did back in the day, so before it was banned, you know, all right, you know, whatever it is, what it is.
01:08:38.733 --> 01:08:48.304
[SPEAKER_02]: But in a daily today, like, you know, if you're getting a pop for steroids and like anywhere from like even 2010 and beyond, I really don't care for you, like, you know.
01:08:49.605 --> 01:09:03.749
[SPEAKER_02]: By like I just don't care so I'm glad the the debugs cover to them even a gym over at the snake pit on the Twitter account I'm gonna find it yet a fun tweet that was I think you say something along the lines of I hope the debugs enjoyed sacrificing some of their morals Let me find the exact one.
01:09:03.769 --> 01:09:11.931
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like I hope the debugs enjoyed sacrificing some of their morals to have a guy that put up like negative point seven wins a buffer placement And it's career.
01:09:11.971 --> 01:09:13.632
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm double checking because it was a it was a
01:09:14.212 --> 01:09:16.413
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and nothing, so he says, and nothing of value is lost.
01:09:16.453 --> 01:09:22.577
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope it was worth the team selling off the moral high ground for that 57 OPS plus and negative 0.7 B-war.
01:09:23.077 --> 01:09:29.400
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me provide nothing to this team and actively hurt them, whether it was on the field or development for some of the young bats.
01:09:29.420 --> 01:09:30.921
[SPEAKER_02]: So thankfully, that era is gone.
01:09:30.941 --> 01:09:39.806
[SPEAKER_02]: And next up, please Lorda Scoreal Jr. because I don't think I want to see him getting a bats who had forward, but diving on
01:09:43.035 --> 01:09:44.976
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, no, it's a different pair.
01:09:45.016 --> 01:09:50.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Who knows, maybe he's just been saving up his hits for when he gets called back up and he's going to go on a heater, which I'd be okay with.
01:09:50.919 --> 01:10:00.885
[SPEAKER_02]: But diving on into the upcoming series here, the D-backs, we're going to head on into Kansas City to take on the Royals that does not look like the D-backs have a set pitching matchup.
01:10:00.925 --> 01:10:04.987
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everything is to be decided, I'm not sure if Alex or anybody else reporting the D-backs has.
01:10:05.347 --> 01:10:24.903
[SPEAKER_02]: confirmed any starters not obviously we know that it's been reported that cornburns will be returning uh this year is against a royal so expect cornburns to take one of those starts but nothing's actually official least on the site yet uh but tomorrow uh for game one's gonna be a walk-a walk-a walk-a uh Michael walk-a on his nine and eight record it's his 336 ERA is gonna be the royal's game one starter
01:10:25.723 --> 01:10:27.344
[SPEAKER_02]: For sorry, that's that's on Tuesday.
01:10:27.364 --> 01:10:43.872
[SPEAKER_02]: So game one is gonna be Cameron He is nine and eight with a four o eight e array Noah Cameron for the royals and we're going into Tuesday Michael walk a walk a walk a walk a With this three three six e array and then when say we got good old I V Lynch the adennial Lynch the fourth actually That's crazy.
01:10:43.912 --> 01:10:45.073
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't see many players with the
01:10:46.174 --> 01:10:46.894
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the name like that.
01:10:46.914 --> 01:11:06.116
[SPEAKER_02]: So Daniel Lynch the fourth so we're gonna face two lefties on the royal staff here The royal's got some pretty decent pitching everyone their starters is either a just over four or lower ERA so maybe the debacks will actually put up some run because You know when we have a guys with six ERA we get shut out when you have guys look at two or three Are we seem to seem to seem to put up some runs, but
01:11:06.796 --> 01:11:34.786
[SPEAKER_02]: Big Seer is going to Kansas City as this is a great opportunity for the Devax to hopefully expand their lead over the Padres and the Wildcard because we keep mentioning it as serious win I think is a must have but if there's a time to get a serious sweep and hopefully extend that lead over the Padres this is a great time to make that happen because we're going to be running out of time and we still got some tough seers ahead of us so this is a you got to take advantage when you're facing some some lesser teams in the nice way possible
01:11:36.195 --> 01:11:37.655
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Brandon, I'm going to start off with you again.
01:11:37.695 --> 01:11:48.178
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you kind of looking out for in this series coming up for the Royals, maybe some matchups, maybe some hitters and pictures on the Royal side, or just in general, even on the DVAC side, what are you going to be looking out for for this three-gamer Kansas city?
01:11:50.219 --> 01:11:55.180
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, just continue for starting pitching and the bullpen to keep doing their job.
01:11:55.220 --> 01:11:57.801
[SPEAKER_03]: Just being lights out, being dominant.
01:11:57.881 --> 01:12:00.121
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, that's what they've been doing as a blade.
01:12:00.201 --> 01:12:02.342
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, it's been really impressive to watch.
01:12:03.322 --> 01:12:03.522
[SPEAKER_03]: Um.
01:12:04.985 --> 01:12:14.090
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm hoping Geryelle, like, isn't complete dog shit, but I don't know, like he did not look good when he was in the minors.
01:12:14.530 --> 01:12:23.556
[SPEAKER_03]: So that doesn't make me feel great, but maybe he just needed to be with the boys for a couple of days to just kinda get his mind right.
01:12:23.756 --> 01:12:25.237
[SPEAKER_03]: So fingers crossed on that.
01:12:25.877 --> 01:12:26.637
[SPEAKER_03]: Daniel Lynch,
01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:33.667
[SPEAKER_03]: hasn't hit that great since C became a starter at the beginning of August.
01:12:34.408 --> 01:12:36.872
[SPEAKER_03]: So that makes me feel pretty good.
01:12:36.892 --> 01:12:43.701
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't go so I'm wondering if he's more of an opener or a bulk guy.
01:12:44.402 --> 01:12:49.667
[SPEAKER_03]: because he's gone one and two thirds, two and a third, four, four and a third and five.
01:12:50.167 --> 01:12:54.451
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's given up three-iron, three-iron, one-iron, two-iron, two-iron, five-iron.
01:12:54.891 --> 01:12:57.934
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was last outing, he went five-editing's gave up five-iron.
01:12:58.174 --> 01:13:01.196
[SPEAKER_03]: So maybe we can kind of tee off on him.
01:13:03.288 --> 01:13:27.160
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like, if I knew who we were going with with our pictures, that's how to Corbin, I'd feel good about the pitching matchups, so if we don't know who's going Monday or Wednesday, Nelson had a rehab outing with Faisalia or Emma Rilla, when he comes back, he will be coming out of the bullpen, so
01:13:28.715 --> 01:13:31.576
[SPEAKER_03]: He has that fastball for one inning.
01:13:31.976 --> 01:13:35.577
[SPEAKER_03]: He could probably talk out at 99 and be really, really dominant.
01:13:35.697 --> 01:13:41.219
[SPEAKER_03]: So the only person I'm worried about is Bobby Witt because he's Bobby Witt.
01:13:41.539 --> 01:13:47.281
[SPEAKER_03]: So Jack Cagg's is supposedly hurt.
01:13:47.441 --> 01:13:49.742
[SPEAKER_03]: So he might miss this series.
01:13:49.782 --> 01:13:57.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he's done on the IL, but they may sit him for a couple of games so that might help us out because he also did get the pass
01:13:58.205 --> 01:13:59.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Like to daily.
01:14:00.125 --> 01:14:01.706
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he hit a homework today, too.
01:14:01.886 --> 01:14:05.407
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, who knows?
01:14:05.847 --> 01:14:08.708
[SPEAKER_03]: What this team, sometimes they play down to their competition.
01:14:08.748 --> 01:14:13.909
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's kind of what my fear is, too, is that they're going to not play well.
01:14:14.089 --> 01:14:15.149
[SPEAKER_03]: But I hope that I'm wrong.
01:14:15.169 --> 01:14:18.270
[SPEAKER_03]: And hopefully we can see offense kind of show up here.
01:14:19.661 --> 01:14:23.023
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I need the offensive to show up as such, because the podgers are going to be playing that nationals.
01:14:23.703 --> 01:14:27.585
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, I mean, the nationals do have some good offense, but their pitching is horrific.
01:14:28.025 --> 01:14:43.654
[SPEAKER_02]: So neither nationals kind of help us out, but the best way to help out is just to help yourself out, and that's what the D-backs need to do here, like you said, take care of business against Daniel Lynch and do your best to know what Bobby would do in your B-2 because I, guys, an absolute superstar needs to be a Kansas City for a long, long time.
01:14:44.414 --> 01:14:53.007
[SPEAKER_02]: But Gabe, what it's kind of, you know, sticking out to you, where some players and matches potentially they're going to be, you know, keeping on the docket and keeping on here for this three-gamer.
01:14:55.178 --> 01:15:07.449
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was looking at their starting pitchers, like the reason why they have a bit of a fake comeback after the break is because both Mike Walker and Cameron both have had great second half to the season.
01:15:07.589 --> 01:15:14.234
[SPEAKER_01]: They're last seven games both to them are about two and a half or even lower ERA since in about seven games.
01:15:14.254 --> 01:15:17.557
[SPEAKER_01]: So kind of back on the hat, both of those guys have looked really, really good.
01:15:17.597 --> 01:15:17.797
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
01:15:18.658 --> 01:15:21.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I'm not expecting them to do a lot against them.
01:15:21.260 --> 01:15:24.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully they can tee off a bit on their both pin, which is on the weaker side.
01:15:24.902 --> 01:15:41.151
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it's the bottom 5 in the league, last time I had seen, but that was a well-back, but that's something that, you know, you know, unfortunately, I have to vote for at this point, such as with how bad the offense has been, but I'm hoping Carroll can continue the offense that he shows in the last two games just a lot
01:15:42.612 --> 01:15:45.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I believe he had three triple tree doubles.
01:15:45.255 --> 01:15:46.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what he hit something like that?
01:15:46.876 --> 01:15:48.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like three doubles in the last two games.
01:15:48.517 --> 01:15:49.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's basically all you did.
01:15:49.698 --> 01:15:57.644
[SPEAKER_01]: He should have had a triple, but bar show rob yeah, but the bar should just absolutely robbery, but I believe he had three triples in the last two games.
01:15:57.664 --> 01:15:59.426
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully he's able to show that part again.
01:15:59.846 --> 01:16:03.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Kansas City doesn't have, you know, a 430 foot wall out there.
01:16:03.949 --> 01:16:07.972
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if he gets one to center and that should be a home running Kansas City.
01:16:08.013 --> 01:16:08.213
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
01:16:08.753 --> 01:16:34.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully Corbin can continue his turn around, hopefully could tell, couldn't continue hitting the way he is, and I'm just hoping guys like Predomo, Gabby, Snap out of this funk that they've been in, because they continue to put both of them, so that's why I was okay with Predomo bunting yesterday, because the guy isn't hitting too much anyway, so if he's going to bunts, he's one of the best bunters on the team, he's for sure going to move Corbin up, and at that point he can just need the one run to get across.
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:49.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just looking to see some guys continue to hit the way they did and hopefully this home run also unlocked there or not again because he has been really, really bad for the last month or so so maybe these guys can finally start to turn things around.
01:16:50.135 --> 01:16:54.676
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not kind of has his own little version of Merrill Kelly where he has a good month, bad month, good month, bad month.
01:16:55.156 --> 01:16:58.977
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we're getting the good month of air not going forward, but like you said about the Roya's bullpen.
01:16:59.517 --> 01:17:03.218
[SPEAKER_02]: They do indeed have one of the worst bullpens in all of Major's baseball as ERA was.
01:17:03.718 --> 01:17:06.719
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, third worst batting average against.
01:17:06.759 --> 01:17:09.220
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe they're also a third worst, the 265.
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:13.201
[SPEAKER_02]: They have the worst whip in all of baseball relief wise with a 1.51.
01:17:13.341 --> 01:17:17.302
[SPEAKER_02]: And they just, they give up, let's see, home run wise.
01:17:18.382 --> 01:17:26.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Looks like they're fifth most homerun surrendered at 78 just behind the A's, Cubs, Rays and Nationals.
01:17:27.049 --> 01:17:32.894
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Astros got a horrible pen like you said Gabe, I mean, some tough starters with the Waka and Cameron.
01:17:33.274 --> 01:17:34.115
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully they can, you know,
01:17:34.715 --> 01:17:55.516
[SPEAKER_02]: make them work a little bit getting the bullpen early and then be able to hopefully put the game away because that's the area you really want to attack the royals is in that pen once they come in because it does not seem like they're holding too many games down for the rest of that offense but yes, I'm going to be a fun one hopefully Corbin you know can continue hitting the way as being dropped down to the fifth spot on the lineup definitely seem to help the last two games
01:17:56.976 --> 01:18:02.138
[SPEAKER_02]: Even on the broadcast, I've been talking about how it's not like teams are getting him to chase on like sweepers and stuff.
01:18:02.458 --> 01:18:05.779
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just throwing at fastballs right by him and he's not been able to do much.
01:18:06.260 --> 01:18:07.380
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been popping up a lot.
01:18:07.420 --> 01:18:12.582
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully this is going to be the turn that we can see him, you know, kind of heat up a little bit in the last couple weeks.
01:18:12.602 --> 01:18:16.883
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to need that bat like Brandon even mentioned in the last show that this offense goes when Corbin goes.
01:18:17.203 --> 01:18:18.764
[SPEAKER_02]: And we kind of saw a little bit here in this one.
01:18:19.204 --> 01:18:21.905
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin, the debats do not have a scheduled pitcher.
01:18:22.865 --> 01:18:39.589
[SPEAKER_02]: For the series starting tomorrow, it's all to be decided so I imagine we'll know more either tomorrow or I'd imagine one of the debug reporters whether it's Alex, Jack, Jess here and all that Can can put out the tweet confirming what starter is going to be Yes, I think it's a pen game to get ready for burns.
01:18:39.609 --> 01:18:42.909
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so it would not be surprised all if it's a pen game It just sucks to even use a lot.
01:18:42.949 --> 01:18:45.950
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, maybe pen game whatever it is at least we have to pull pen for it.
01:18:46.510 --> 01:18:49.431
[SPEAKER_01]: I Like I don't I would imagine no because burns.
01:18:49.731 --> 01:18:50.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it's on so
01:18:50.591 --> 01:18:52.413
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to need the pen for burn.
01:18:52.433 --> 01:18:54.274
[SPEAKER_01]: If burn is only to go all reach-wing.
01:18:54.454 --> 01:18:59.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's always going to be able to go three, so they're going to need them to pat up about six.
01:18:59.859 --> 01:19:02.081
[SPEAKER_01]: So this game's so... Is that gallon?
01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:06.042
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to be a little bit of a idea.
01:19:06.142 --> 01:19:06.682
[SPEAKER_03]: I will do one.
01:19:06.783 --> 01:19:09.345
[SPEAKER_03]: So Rokam, I think so Rokam is more like a thing.
01:19:09.445 --> 01:19:13.409
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Rokam still has still has like a week before we can put it on.
01:19:13.429 --> 01:19:14.751
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like mid September before I can come back.
01:19:14.791 --> 01:19:17.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, and yes, Rokam should be available soon.
01:19:17.854 --> 01:19:27.043
[SPEAKER_01]: Right Nelson storing 99, so if we get him the last week, put him in the bullpen just in the meantime, so you can wrap up some of his his workload.
01:19:28.375 --> 01:19:48.410
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I definitely am going to be an interesting way to see how they approach the rotation going forward here with some guys potentially coming back in all that the next week or two whether it's burn, cirroca, gallon, all that but either way I can at least say the XX to tell when you need them funny enough calling up before the show I actually asked the the jense here because I was looking on a baseball savant
01:19:49.090 --> 01:20:08.944
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've filtered by the the the run value for the d-backs on basically like what pitches like the best pitch runs values wise And what are our regas as the best with this forseamer Kevin Dinkle is a second best with the slider and Zachletell has the worst pitch run value wise a guy that was with this team for well we can have maybe
01:20:09.804 --> 01:20:27.573
[SPEAKER_02]: His foreseen fastball had a negative 15 run do you so I would rather have I'd rather see Brandon gave myself take the bump in a bullpen game over Zachletel ever like at this point I feel like we can't be any worse than what he was so No, we need Zachletel.
01:20:27.593 --> 01:20:30.295
[SPEAKER_02]: There's not a sentence anyone's gonna ever be saying anymore going forward, but
01:20:31.135 --> 01:20:54.487
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely a series in general that I guess said yeah got to take advantage The rules are still you know in the fight in the American league, but anybody with the polls in the American league is still within you know Striking distance of a playoffs, but so they still got some to play for but this is a this is a series of you actually need to assert their dominance And take take advantage of a weaker part of the schedule before we got some some tougher games coming up because I do believe that
01:20:56.349 --> 01:20:59.951
[SPEAKER_02]: The subcoming weekend, we got the Rangers, and then I think we got the Yankees next Holland.
01:21:00.711 --> 01:21:01.012
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:21:01.072 --> 01:21:04.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Rangers, it's Rangers, Marlins, and then Yankees.
01:21:04.174 --> 01:21:05.575
[SPEAKER_02]: And Marlins always give us some fits.
01:21:06.055 --> 01:21:08.116
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's a series that could be a trap series.
01:21:08.136 --> 01:21:10.738
[SPEAKER_02]: The Rangers, obviously, we're able to take two or three from them in Texas.
01:21:11.299 --> 01:21:12.639
[SPEAKER_02]: But they are still technically in the race.
01:21:12.659 --> 01:21:16.422
[SPEAKER_02]: So these teams that we're facing, they're not just going to lay down and die for us.
01:21:16.442 --> 01:21:23.387
[SPEAKER_02]: So we really got to take advantage of us getting some weaker teams before we get the Yankees and the Podras here in the last week and half.
01:21:24.247 --> 01:21:32.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, any other final thoughts in general gentlemen, whether it's around the the D backs, uh, you know, thoughts about the D backs may be minor league moves or just in general anything else you wanted to highlight.
01:21:35.232 --> 01:21:35.532
[SPEAKER_03]: Perfect.
01:21:36.012 --> 01:21:42.415
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, as always, we appreciate everyone tuning on in just in Larry, Colin Schroeder, Sean, Corbin Barrels.
01:21:42.475 --> 01:21:43.896
[SPEAKER_02]: Anybody else that might be lurking as well.
01:21:43.916 --> 01:21:45.997
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate you joining us here on the live chat.
01:21:46.417 --> 01:21:47.918
[SPEAKER_02]: Anybody else that's lurking as well?
01:21:48.118 --> 01:21:48.998
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for stopping by.
01:21:49.038 --> 01:21:50.759

01:38.393 --> 01:43.058
[SPEAKER_02]: How is the weekend meant for you guys whether it's D-backs related or even outside of the D-backs?
01:44.925 --> 01:48.806
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just pretty chill and I haven't really done much this weekend.
01:48.826 --> 01:55.669
[SPEAKER_01]: I did just check out some gear and stuff at a Bake 5 for my Ment League.
01:55.689 --> 01:59.190
[SPEAKER_01]: It seems a new bet to want to add this last season.
01:59.730 --> 02:02.811
[SPEAKER_01]: About a half way to the season, it just became super light for me.
02:02.831 --> 02:05.312
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to know if that ever happened to you guys where you're like...
02:05.832 --> 02:14.598
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, because I was starting to work out a lot more, going to the gym and everything, like, half of the season, I did start to feel like a lot stronger than I was, like, bread beginning to season.
02:14.678 --> 02:18.240
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it really felt like I was swinging a toothpick with that bat.
02:18.280 --> 02:23.344
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I finished the season off with that bat, because I'm like, you know, I paid like 60 bucks for it, I'm gonna get my money's worth.
02:24.024 --> 02:44.308
[SPEAKER_01]: But I would start to just feel like I was swinging, I would try to swing a little bit later, a little bit earlier, and every time I was just swinging a whiffle ball that or something like that, just get in a way to ahead of it, get in the ball right at the front of the zone, started riding out a lot more, and then you know, I've been trying out some heavier bats, so do a lot better with those.
02:45.288 --> 02:52.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, just seeing if I get some new bats or some new gloves, just to, you know, just to start on them a little bit this season.
02:53.178 --> 02:53.478
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
02:53.498 --> 02:53.838
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
02:53.858 --> 03:02.842
[SPEAKER_02]: So are you guys a wood bat league or do you like a do metal bats to know it's a wood bat That was soon because you get a metal bat in front of in a in a grown man grown man's hand can be dangerous We're gonna die.
03:02.962 --> 03:03.202
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
03:03.462 --> 03:03.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
03:03.702 --> 03:05.563
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why like I in slow pitch.
03:05.583 --> 03:06.043
[SPEAKER_02]: Stop ball.
03:06.183 --> 03:17.647
[SPEAKER_02]: It still kills me because I'm like Dude, this shit's harder than a baseball and people hit it way harder than I've seen any baseball Yeah, we we would all be predominant We would literally all be getting a heroic or predominant everywhere.
03:17.767 --> 03:18.768
[SPEAKER_01]: We're using these little bats
03:19.308 --> 03:35.882
[SPEAKER_02]: Seriously, but are you uh say I was I was I was in a 2000 person and deem a reading at least for metal bats for wood bats Same I was never the greatest anyway and with my luck at break it so I was go with the $60 big sticks and like all right cool like that's that's that's all I really care about
03:36.322 --> 03:41.746
[SPEAKER_02]: It gets a job done, it gets a job done, I'm not going to go drop like, you know, 200, 300 bucks and like, it's some fancy read time.
03:41.766 --> 03:51.234
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I know there's like certain, like, compact wood ones or whatever, like they even had a discussion, the manager's group chat, just like, hey, are we going to band these bets or whatever?
03:51.454 --> 03:54.156
[SPEAKER_01]: It's one of them like, we'll go to Lino or something like that.
03:54.176 --> 03:59.340
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, some wood composite bat that like, yeah, it seems very illegal or it should be.
03:59.580 --> 04:10.008
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what they're talking about, and we like, it's like a soft band, but not really, but we're just saying like, hey, they're supposed to add like four or five miles an hour to each hit.
04:10.088 --> 04:19.316
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, we're all, we all that day jobs, like, you know, if you really need to add five miles per hour to your to your swing, like maybe hit the cages instead.
04:19.776 --> 04:23.379
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not band, but it's also, like, you know, be smart about it.
04:23.459 --> 04:34.964
[SPEAKER_02]: take a gentleman's agreement to maybe don't use that or use it in somebody that you know that's going to average like 65 to 70 years of velocity now the guy that's going to be you know regularly with a with a big six smack me like 90 miles an hour.
04:34.984 --> 04:35.724
[SPEAKER_02]: Awesome.
04:35.744 --> 04:42.287
[SPEAKER_01]: We have some we have some like guys who played in double and triple A in their past lot of three college and stuff.
04:42.307 --> 04:42.447
[SPEAKER_01]: So
04:43.687 --> 04:54.873
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't, they haven't hit a home run off of me, but I can tell when those guys are up, like you can tell right away, like they're filling it off to splitter and just in the fastball inside and I just end up walking them, but like they really are actually getting hit.
04:54.894 --> 05:09.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I just end up walking them, because when I, the way how far I see them hit the balls and they're just, you know, bruising like the regular bets, but if you have those composite bets, I'm like, I got RIP to stuff whatever third base man or first base man's out there, because you have to, during the update by that line drive.
05:10.465 --> 05:18.791
[SPEAKER_02]: And my men's lead back in college and black sappers, a few guys at a base that one of them had almost a like two a T, the same exact stance as John Carlos Stanton.
05:19.491 --> 05:21.553
[SPEAKER_02]: And he was close to the same size.
05:21.593 --> 05:29.458
[SPEAKER_02]: And let me tell you what he was golfing my, you know, 65, 70 mile an hour of changeups in the dirt out like 420 feet dead center.
05:29.478 --> 05:36.463
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, yeah, this guy, make sure he doesn't swing anything other than a big stick or some shitty wooden bat because we will all die if it's a line drive.
05:36.503 --> 05:36.643
[SPEAKER_02]: But
05:37.143 --> 05:38.084
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I hope for you.
05:38.124 --> 05:39.805
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get some good equipment this time on the season.
05:39.825 --> 05:42.286
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys can take home a chip in your league, but Brandon on to you.
05:42.587 --> 05:43.767
[SPEAKER_02]: How's the weekend been for you, my man?
05:45.468 --> 05:46.029
[SPEAKER_03]: Pretty good.
05:46.589 --> 05:53.594
[SPEAKER_03]: I got my car for service this weekend, so how to do my every three or four month oil change got that done.
05:54.674 --> 05:55.875
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe six months.
05:56.175 --> 06:02.599
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't try my car that much, but got that all done and then they're like, hey, you need to do this and this and this.
06:02.640 --> 06:02.900
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm like,
06:03.823 --> 06:05.743
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, and I don't care.
06:05.963 --> 06:08.284
[SPEAKER_03]: I came here for one thing and I want to get that done.
06:08.824 --> 06:10.804
[SPEAKER_01]: Just put the, just put the fries in the bag, bro.
06:11.604 --> 06:11.965
[SPEAKER_03]: Literally.
06:12.105 --> 06:13.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
06:13.165 --> 06:16.005
[SPEAKER_03]: I was just like, thanks guys, thanks for pointing it out.
06:16.025 --> 06:20.786
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate it, but no, I'm not, I was just here for my oil change.
06:21.886 --> 06:24.807
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I was going to go back home.
06:24.987 --> 06:30.088
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, um, because I had to make sure they'll be home back by 4 o'clock, because I had to watch the Don Max game.
06:33.306 --> 06:34.367
[SPEAKER_03]: This series was fun.
06:34.807 --> 06:37.369
[SPEAKER_03]: This series was something.
06:37.389 --> 06:42.972
[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of ups and downs, not gonna lie, but we can was chill.
06:43.273 --> 06:45.414
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't really do much outside of watching the games.
06:46.505 --> 06:49.746
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say the, on the note of getting car service, the biggest scam.
06:50.126 --> 06:51.786
[SPEAKER_02]: If they ever like, oh, we can replace your air filter.
06:52.206 --> 06:53.967
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I didn't even have to do that jiffy loop before.
06:53.987 --> 06:57.808
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, dude, just, just, you can find the exact air filter for your car.
06:58.368 --> 07:01.408
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's the easiest they never change, just do yourself.
07:01.448 --> 07:04.029
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to save you like 50, 100 bucks depending on where you go.
07:04.049 --> 07:06.169
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they're going to charge you for the part in the service.
07:06.329 --> 07:10.110
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, okay, like, the labor to put that thing in was maybe two minutes of work.
07:10.130 --> 07:12.311
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you're not going to charge me 30 bucks for doing that.
07:12.331 --> 07:12.871
[SPEAKER_02]: So fuck off.
07:13.271 --> 07:21.341
[SPEAKER_02]: So anybody out there, like Brandon said, change what your, you know, get your car service, what it needs to be, unless it's going to, like, you know, be a major hazard telling me.
07:21.361 --> 07:21.621
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, thanks.
07:21.641 --> 07:23.403
[SPEAKER_02]: Put it in my notes and just like Gabe said, put the fries in the bag, bro.
07:23.443 --> 07:30.652
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'll always say no to your air filter change because it's, it's, it's, it's, it's it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's
07:31.275 --> 07:37.417
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they kind of what Brandon said is a very eventful series here in Houston that everyone these games are pretty close game.
07:37.437 --> 07:51.120
[SPEAKER_02]: There wasn't any blowouts kind of like what we saw in the Philly series, which did you guys have been playing a lot of close games as of late when which when you got an offense that's been going with the d-backs has been you've got a bullpen the way the d-backs has been you know it's kind of a recipe to see those hop happen as often
07:51.780 --> 07:58.082
[SPEAKER_02]: And there was no different here in game one, whether it was the offense bullpen scoring has been kind of the same that we've seen as of late.
07:58.322 --> 08:02.223
[SPEAKER_02]: Miracley did go six inning seven hits, three earned no walks, which is I mean my goodness.
08:02.243 --> 08:05.564
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know the last time I was able to say Miracley had no walks on a statline.
08:06.104 --> 08:10.445
[SPEAKER_02]: He did track it on the four hitters, but I feel that the Astros are just a team that doesn't strike out as much.
08:10.485 --> 08:16.307
[SPEAKER_02]: Did it on 94 pitches with 64, then being strikes, which I think is a very good sign that he's able to locate a little bit better.
08:16.667 --> 08:21.431
[SPEAKER_02]: because whenever he's around 50-55% strike rate, it's not a good sign.
08:21.772 --> 08:30.079
[SPEAKER_02]: I did get 11 wiffs in this one, 5 on this change up, 3 on this 4 seam 2 on this curve, one on this cutter, so I kind of had them swing in a miss and go to a good amount of his arsenal.
08:30.640 --> 08:37.165
[SPEAKER_02]: The offense, unfortunately, this one continue to what we saw in that Philly series, they went a combined three for 28 on this entire game.
08:37.906 --> 08:41.009
[SPEAKER_02]: Seven walks, they had a lot of men on the bases, but 13 strikeouts.
08:41.729 --> 08:56.237
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, with over four with run and score of position leaving seven on base, the alone run for the dibex did come off of a home run from gabby ran of his 12th year when in 105 and 387 feet, so gabby, hopefully after the little bit of a rough series, he had against affiliates turning it back around.
08:56.857 --> 08:59.019
[SPEAKER_02]: JMR had a really solid clean outing in this one.
08:59.039 --> 09:07.604
[SPEAKER_02]: No walks too strikeouts and when you get the pitching ninja making posts about you, you know that JMR is absolutely back and then a deracle with another impressive outing as well.
09:07.784 --> 09:12.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully he can continue the the rate he has been going and saw really well on this bullpen going forward.
09:12.547 --> 09:12.987
[SPEAKER_02]: But gentlemen.
09:14.073 --> 09:16.637
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a very, you know, a vengeful game in here.
09:16.657 --> 09:23.806
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously with the Astros doing the kind of their bulk of the scoring and like an integer tune, the D-backs only really getting one run obviously on that Gabby bomb.
09:24.287 --> 09:29.975
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of stuff that's here in game one, whether it's the good, whether it's the bad, maybe something that you haven't really seen mentioned online as much as a late.
09:31.934 --> 09:59.941
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess the, you know, despite the issues that Maros had, though, at least his last three starts I've been quite decent, the one against the Cubs, it was kind of the one that wasn't the best, the even five and two thirds, with three unit runs, but I think we even discussed at that point that runs Chernaff County at a camera exactly what, oh, it was the home run I believe to a Taylor Clarke where the runner was on first, he gets taken out and then Taylor Clarke comes in and just gives up a two-brun bond
10:02.221 --> 10:12.627
[SPEAKER_01]: Or unless it was the actual first pitch right away, but still 5, 2, 3 runs against San Francisco 7, 7 innings, 0 runs and then this 1, 6 innings, 3 runs.
10:13.367 --> 10:14.468
[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to get the job done.
10:14.488 --> 10:19.730
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the best that we can ask for, Mara Kelly, if he can be around 6 innings, 3 runs.
10:19.750 --> 10:23.873
[SPEAKER_01]: He's giving this team a chance to wait and day in and day out and that's what we've won.
10:24.813 --> 10:42.123
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going out there, four innings, five innings, five, six runs, but that's kind of a rap, especially with the way this offense is going, and this game, you know, they continue to trend of the often just being straight dog ass, but you want a chance to win, and Merrill did the best he could to give his team a chance to win.
10:42.403 --> 10:47.246
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, he was saddled with the loss, but then, you know, put the bullpen being as
10:48.066 --> 11:06.745
[SPEAKER_01]: Locked down has they've been like I never thought I would say this, but like all you need is a lead Which I thought I would ever say I going to have an elite go into the seven which is bullpen You feel I mean, I'm still not gonna feel confident just because the last eight or nine years Tell me otherwise, but I
11:07.225 --> 11:08.527
[SPEAKER_01]: So like you've seen J.
11:08.547 --> 11:27.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Mark commit a lip-op and you're like, all right, you know, we at least just need to get to the ninth and then even log Which really surprised me how how actually pretty good he's been since they'd be brought him up I have no guys come up, you know shots on down and you know, it's really really a testament to how good the pitching has been Especially as of late and
11:28.627 --> 11:33.249
[SPEAKER_01]: Fortunately, it just couldn't get it done because, you know, the the issues with running score of vision.
11:33.909 --> 11:35.990
[SPEAKER_01]: They were patients, seven walks.
11:36.090 --> 11:39.391
[SPEAKER_01]: They had seven walks and this came just just doesn't matter.
11:39.791 --> 11:40.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I made a tweet about this.
11:41.811 --> 11:43.312
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I got pushed by because of course.
11:43.332 --> 11:44.252
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's going to happen.
11:44.972 --> 11:49.454
[SPEAKER_01]: But I mentioned about new bar, which, you know, when you have a guy on or two guys on base.
11:50.923 --> 11:54.285
[SPEAKER_01]: It's great to get a walk, but what this team needs right now is hits.
11:55.185 --> 12:06.030
[SPEAKER_01]: And if there's no one hitting and everyone else is doing it just walking, you're just setting yourself up for a double play, and that's what this team has been doing these last few weeks, which is, you guys got in second, no outs.
12:06.570 --> 12:11.953
[SPEAKER_01]: They just walk the guy, then some of the grounds are just a double play, and then basically, and things over at that point.
12:11.993 --> 12:12.193
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
12:12.833 --> 12:14.174
[SPEAKER_01]: just really frustrating to watch.
12:14.214 --> 12:17.375
[SPEAKER_01]: They went over four to run his car position just because they didn't really have too many.
12:18.315 --> 12:22.977
[SPEAKER_01]: But the one run, I think at that point it was four in a row and again, just not going to get it done.
12:23.518 --> 12:28.120
[SPEAKER_01]: Katel was at least able to get it hit and walk and he's looked really really good since going back.
12:28.140 --> 12:28.640
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not just
12:29.220 --> 12:34.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Hit in the ball, but even on defense, like we talked about just how much of a liability Various clothes at second base.
12:35.322 --> 12:46.807
[SPEAKER_01]: So seeing a telemic, these absolute tremendous plays, especially when you did yesterday, running in wet like 150 feet and just a few seconds to track the ball down, like that was huge to bring that out of the game back into extras.
12:47.727 --> 13:10.668
[SPEAKER_01]: having him back out there was great to see and obviously you just given many sort of praise like oh man it's so good to see him back out there and then just there which is why I was saying before like I don't think he owes the fans anything because the one to hate him are gonna hate him no matter what he says or does and that was the case there because the haters just came out and were like this is what he's supposed to be doing and
13:11.048 --> 13:14.130
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what if we didn't lose this production while he was out?
13:14.211 --> 13:15.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, the guy was clearly hurt.
13:16.472 --> 13:19.214
[SPEAKER_01]: He wasn't making these plays in the weeks leading up to it.
13:19.314 --> 13:21.756
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a huge pep in the step.
13:21.776 --> 13:24.358
[SPEAKER_01]: He's running a lot faster than he was with the weeks leading up to it.
13:24.418 --> 13:26.760
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know.
13:26.900 --> 13:35.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I mentioned before, the league checks on guys, medicals, to see that they're actually hurting and seems like there was something that was truly bothering his back in his hamstring.
13:35.467 --> 13:39.150
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it's nice to see could tell back and healthy because when he's back and he's healthy,
13:40.415 --> 13:41.796
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, top five guys in the league.
13:43.278 --> 13:46.481
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's no secret that he is an absolute weapon when he's healthy.
13:46.861 --> 13:53.628
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we're definitely seeing a healthy Kitsel Marte in the last, you know, four, you know, like five to six games he's been playing, which has been very close to that play.
13:53.748 --> 13:56.491
[SPEAKER_02]: They made him falter a tour, like you said, that we'll definitely dive into here in a second.
13:57.172 --> 13:58.233
[SPEAKER_02]: For Game 2 was phenomenal.
13:58.973 --> 14:04.518
[SPEAKER_02]: And then even when you're saying with the way the offense has been going, you might get a walk or something and then ground into double play.
14:04.918 --> 14:08.461
[SPEAKER_02]: Even if we only have so many on second base, we still get into fucking double plays.
14:08.541 --> 14:13.745
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the only, the only, I feel like the only team, yeah, I know it's not actually the only team, but the team is probably had to happen.
14:14.105 --> 14:18.829
[SPEAKER_02]: But once I happen, I was like, yes, this is a very, very dime-backs-esque result here, of course.
14:19.709 --> 14:20.930
[SPEAKER_02]: So, which was a little unfortunate.
14:21.631 --> 14:25.594
[SPEAKER_02]: But thankfully, it was not a, you know, something that kind of, you know, brought the team down, the rest of the series,
14:28.336 --> 14:38.424
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think what you said about Meryl Kelly, it does suck you got the loss, but the last four or five starts from him have been an improvement over what we saw on a good majority of August.
14:39.104 --> 14:43.207
[SPEAKER_02]: Or I guess the last couple starts, I should say, is a good improvement over what we saw on a majority of August.
14:43.227 --> 14:50.673
[SPEAKER_02]: So, definitely Neem Merrill on his best going down the home stretch here and I feel like we're getting some signs that are going forward, which will be very, very clutch for this team, but
14:51.153 --> 15:13.777
[SPEAKER_02]: Brandon on to you my friend what kind of stuck out to you in this game some of the few things obviously there's not much on the offensive side to you know talk about but there was a full 90s of baseball so what kind of stuck out to you in this one whether it be the good end or bad so you asked when was the last time we could say that you know Kelly didn't have a walk it's been a very long time
15:15.058 --> 15:21.289
[SPEAKER_03]: May 20th was his last start that he gave up zero locks.
15:21.749 --> 15:23.993
[SPEAKER_03]: That is mind-boggling to me.
15:24.133 --> 15:24.474
[SPEAKER_03]: That is a
15:25.873 --> 15:26.633
[SPEAKER_03]: over it's a log.
15:27.113 --> 15:32.795
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like that's absolutely insane that he had at least one walk and ever started since then.
15:34.295 --> 15:36.916
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been very juggling high this year.
15:36.976 --> 15:40.177
[SPEAKER_03]: Like you'll have one good month, one bad month, one good month, one bad month.
15:40.657 --> 15:48.699
[SPEAKER_03]: We're in the potential good month pattern, which is good because this is when we need everyone to be playing their best ball.
15:49.239 --> 15:49.519
[SPEAKER_03]: So,
15:49.819 --> 15:52.323
[SPEAKER_03]: hopefully we can continue to see him pitch well.
15:52.964 --> 15:55.407
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, he got the loss.
15:56.169 --> 16:00.555
[SPEAKER_03]: When you have a quality start, you feel like you have a shot at winning the game.
16:01.760 --> 16:11.164
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, that's the whole reason why every time ERA goes out, we were like, what, 21 and 7, when he starts to something, like, it's some crazy number.
16:11.224 --> 16:14.466
[SPEAKER_03]: How good would this team plays when ERA goes out there?
16:14.526 --> 16:21.629
[SPEAKER_03]: So, if Kelly can keep doing this, like his last three starts, he's gone.
16:21.649 --> 16:22.349
[SPEAKER_03]: 5 and 2, 3, 7 and 6.
16:25.230 --> 16:28.451
[SPEAKER_03]: and 3 runs, 0 runs, 3 runs, 3 runs.
16:28.471 --> 16:30.051
[SPEAKER_03]: So he's pitching very, very well.
16:30.631 --> 16:31.732
[SPEAKER_03]: His last three starts.
16:33.192 --> 16:38.474
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he got credit for one additional run against the Cubs on that home or that Taylor Clark gave up.
16:38.934 --> 16:45.595
[SPEAKER_03]: So not entirely his fault, but a inherited runner scoring is just the way that it is.
16:46.055 --> 16:47.196
[SPEAKER_03]: His stuff looked pretty good.
16:48.336 --> 16:50.658
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm got a lot of whiffs like you said.
16:50.678 --> 16:54.100
[SPEAKER_03]: You got a five in the change up three on the fastball, two on the curve ball.
16:54.160 --> 17:05.328
[SPEAKER_03]: So 11 whiffs out of 90 plus pitches, he threw about, it's 60, 64 strikes out of his 94 pitches.
17:05.408 --> 17:11.172
[SPEAKER_03]: So he was definitely in the zone throughout this start, which is what you want to see.
17:12.814 --> 17:14.695
[SPEAKER_03]: But it's frustrating with the offense.
17:15.155 --> 17:17.217
[SPEAKER_03]: The only offense in this game was the Gabby Homer.
17:19.074 --> 17:25.576
[SPEAKER_03]: where I looked it up, I thought that would be a homer and like two, like no, it's a homer and like 20-plus ballpark.
17:25.596 --> 17:31.677
[SPEAKER_03]: So he got a decent amount of that homer there to the Cropard boxes.
17:32.698 --> 17:35.398
[SPEAKER_03]: He just continues to have a excellent offense of season.
17:36.979 --> 17:47.662
[SPEAKER_03]: Basically leads all catchers in OPS, I believe, and he's definitely first at batting average because he's near the top in batting average in the national league.
17:48.662 --> 17:51.143
[SPEAKER_03]: batting around 300 so that's good for him.
17:52.643 --> 17:54.464
[SPEAKER_03]: Carol goes all for four with two strikeouts.
17:54.724 --> 17:56.044
[SPEAKER_03]: That's kind of a bummer.
17:57.365 --> 18:01.166
[SPEAKER_03]: But that was one of the real bad game for Carol in this series.
18:01.186 --> 18:02.887
[SPEAKER_03]: He played really well in games two and three.
18:04.027 --> 18:13.710
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah it always sucks to lose game one of his series because he feel like you're like you're in an uphill climb for the rest of the series.
18:15.818 --> 18:25.264
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's never a great way to get started, especially when you go up against the team like the Astros and considering more of the podries, opening up that series against the Yankees as well.
18:25.524 --> 18:38.792
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a great way to keep that half game lead, but of course, they'd have a block off because we'd just, we're just the complete opposite each other or the same at the same time where we're just going to go back and forth this entire time until we play each other in San Diego unfortunately.
18:40.112 --> 18:48.715
[SPEAKER_02]: Another point on Merrill which had been pretty nice in his last three games, he said 18 innings in those last three, so averaging just a little over six, it was actually 18.2 technically.
18:49.115 --> 18:54.736
[SPEAKER_02]: But he has a 289 e-out rate over that time, hitters are hitting only 206 against him.
18:56.217 --> 18:58.858
[SPEAKER_02]: He does have a 3.31 fit, but I'll still take even that.
19:00.018 --> 19:05.980
[SPEAKER_02]: With the 2.4 strike out, or 2.14 strike out per walk, a walk per cent under 10% which
19:07.980 --> 19:22.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely signs that as it is at least last couple outings he has been turning around which you know like you said Brandon hopefully you continue with the trend of him You know going from bad month good month bad month good month and we can get him a full good month here in September because we're gonna need it but yeah
19:22.882 --> 19:28.106
[SPEAKER_02]: I did not realize it was actually an over three-month stretch without him having a single walk in a game.
19:28.687 --> 19:31.669
[SPEAKER_02]: That is kind of goes back to, I mean, walks in general piss me off.
19:32.110 --> 19:39.816
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather have a team beat you because you threw a meatball and it took advantage versus you literally giving them free-base runners, which could lead to big innings.
19:40.577 --> 19:42.318
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's one of the biggest issues I've had with Merrill.
19:42.338 --> 19:45.221
[SPEAKER_02]: Not even just this year, but I feel like just in general as an entire career.
19:45.621 --> 19:49.864
[SPEAKER_02]: As I mentioned multiple times, I know what we all have that he definitely kind of lives off of, you know,
19:50.805 --> 20:09.370
[SPEAKER_02]: not like we're at a lot of religious lives on the shadow where he's like really tied around the zone when he's he's on but Merrill Kelly there's times where he kind of gets teams to be overly aggressive they swing out really bad pitches but then you get against a team you know that's seen a couple times that knows what he's doing and they're like oh yeah you just you look for one pitch and you hammer it.
20:09.770 --> 20:13.473
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's sometimes the kind of issue is I feel like he does have the stuff that can challenge hitters.
20:14.074 --> 20:18.797
[SPEAKER_02]: But when you get into these two or three-one counts, it's going to be kind of predictable what you can challenge him with.
20:18.817 --> 20:23.802
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully we can see him continue to turn around because the rest of the way, like Brandon said, we're going to need that kind of Merrill going forward.
20:24.162 --> 20:38.113
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it seems like that was kind of the MO for facing guys like Pena or even Yordon who these guys don't really extend their zones at all, but it seemed like the planet of talk for these two guys was just throw completely uncompetitive pitches like every other
20:39.414 --> 21:07.107
[SPEAKER_01]: throw ball way outside, next ball throw it down the middle, throw the next one way up high, throw the next one down the middle, and it seemed to work, I just completely changing the idea, I was to do these guys, I mean, they had what you're on, three O came back, throwing basically three straight fast balls or whatever, three straight balls in the zone, I'm going to be able to strike him out, or I mean, braiding or see what it was, and then today, I was going to go as well, just sort of throwing these uncompetitive pitches just outside,
21:08.588 --> 21:11.689
[SPEAKER_01]: their own pitches, like, right, you know, dotted the corners and stuff like that.
21:11.709 --> 21:14.890
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they really seem to work for them, at least against the Astros.
21:14.950 --> 21:28.816
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't suggest that with a lot of other teams, but the Astros maybe that's, you know, right, credit to the, at least the pitching coaches and staff at this point where, you know, Dan Herring was the one in charge of the game planning and he's been out.
21:28.836 --> 21:31.037
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe this season, you get out of it.
21:31.057 --> 21:35.318
[SPEAKER_01]: So, wherever they got in there now, it just seems to have a really good game plan for like,
21:38.064 --> 22:04.444
[SPEAKER_01]: like yeah so it's something like they they have a really good plan especially for a lot of the big boppers um like cloud shore it was basically shut down for the filly series as well so clearly there's day they're fighting something or some way that they can pitch to these guys and I mean we'll talk about later about your rod like you can just kind of lucky and it was also that that was like a 3 to 130 foot home run like that's a baby park home run like I'm not going to blame me right for that one but
22:05.585 --> 22:15.033
[SPEAKER_01]: There's clearly something there, but the way that they're able to sequence and throw these pitches that are able to get players out, the main thing is just executing.
22:15.554 --> 22:24.061
[SPEAKER_01]: Meryl just wasn't executing for the longest time, and if he's able to execute, he's throwing some of my uncompetitive pitches, as long as it's part of the plan, that's when matters.
22:25.059 --> 22:30.380
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is definitely, you know, a lot of credit going towards Jeremy Blake, who's the assistant GM of the D-backs.
22:30.800 --> 22:43.522
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe as a big hand in the actual like, pitching strategies, you know, kind of deals with kind of what Dan here and did before where that might not be his full title, but I think it's pretty much kind of under the umbrella of, you know, duties that he has as the assistant GM.
22:43.962 --> 22:51.063
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, he's been, and depending on if it's what he's done for the, you know, the bullpen tubes, I think in our discord, I'm not sure if it was Bryce or somebody else,
22:54.864 --> 23:10.071
[SPEAKER_02]: You throw like a high 90s sinker maybe you should throw that more often and what do you know guys like Maria Guy, I know it's been a short time here, but Jmart's been you know throwing a I feel like a lot more L'Oisig has been really really solid with the sinker like it just it's funny sometimes when
23:11.451 --> 23:16.595
[SPEAKER_02]: It feels like they're like, all right, we're going to use analytics, but at the same time, you throw hard throw hard.
23:16.695 --> 23:20.718
[SPEAKER_02]: That's going to be one of the best recipes for success, especially if you throw hard with movement.
23:20.758 --> 23:27.464
[SPEAKER_02]: We're a Maryland doesn't throw hard with movement, but at least he's gotten enough movement on there and he kind of like he said game, I felt like the game plan they definitely executed it.
23:27.964 --> 23:33.488
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, not in just the series, but as of late against those big boppers, I mean, they basically held PCA hit list, Schworburden really do much.
23:34.209 --> 23:37.111
[SPEAKER_02]: Same with your dawn on this one outside the, like he said, the baby park home run.
23:37.751 --> 23:38.232
[SPEAKER_02]: They're able to keep
23:40.033 --> 23:43.575
[SPEAKER_02]: quiet, which I think, you know, even kind of what going back to Brandon said a couple of times in the previous shows.
23:43.875 --> 23:58.284
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes you got to pick your poison with these offences and I feel like they have been doing a great job in picking who they're going to let beat them and then you know, just tipping your cap and being like, all right, we're going to let Yani here at DSB, that's where we're not going to let Yordon and Alvarez beat us, because that's a great way to, you know, look back and go like, what were we doing?
23:58.324 --> 23:59.464
[SPEAKER_02]: Why do we decide to go that route?
23:59.504 --> 24:03.387
[SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, faithfully, game two, the offense would, you know, once again, it wasn't,
24:04.027 --> 24:09.069
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, uh, putting up the seven eight runs that we kind of saw in a couple of games and saying friend, but they were able to do enough.
24:09.529 --> 24:12.990
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Brandon fought kept this team in it throughout the the entire game, six and a third.
24:13.010 --> 24:18.992
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got seven hits, uh, three earned two walks and four strikeouts on 93 pitches with 60 them being for strikes.
24:19.472 --> 24:20.712
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he had 13 whiffs.
24:20.732 --> 24:24.153
[SPEAKER_02]: So he won up to Merrill in this one, uh, four in a sweeper three in the sinker.
24:24.533 --> 24:29.975
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he and then he had two on each his cutter curable and foreseem or so pretty much everything in his arsenal, uh, was working.
24:30.315 --> 24:48.419
[SPEAKER_02]: Continues to be phenomenal, he's got a 2.63 ERA in his last 15 games with a season ERA down 23.53, obviously a couple of the outings like the one against a Red Sox where he allowed the 500 runs at the three home runs, so it's not ballooned as ERA too much, I mean he's on track to have his best season and his entire career so far, which is great, definitely need big game running the rest of the way.
24:49.059 --> 24:56.603
[SPEAKER_02]: Newborn, Reno, over the only ones in the lineup here that multi-hit games, both of driving in runs in a very clutch situations that will be huge, or that was huge.
24:56.623 --> 25:07.389
[SPEAKER_02]: Could tell Marta, speaking of clutch situations in huge hits, game tying home run in the eighth, that was 101 out of that, going 388, just feel like an absolute moonball thing, it was a feel like it was in the air forever.
25:07.409 --> 25:13.873
[SPEAKER_02]: It was his first home run since returning, so like Gabe said earlier with the catalogue, he's been very hitting very well since he returned, which is nice to see.
25:14.633 --> 25:19.655
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he also made a phenomenal grab at the wall in the Athenians who deny Varshow of it go ahead knock.
25:19.675 --> 25:22.676
[SPEAKER_02]: So, both Waltian could tell making some great plays defensively in this one.
25:23.076 --> 25:28.858
[SPEAKER_02]: Gabby had the go ahead single there in the 10th inning to get the D-backs, the lead with the call it the Ghostrunner.
25:28.878 --> 25:31.119
[SPEAKER_02]: I know some people like, well, it's not a Ghostrunner, it's an actual person there.
25:31.559 --> 25:32.120
[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?
25:32.160 --> 25:33.340
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to keep call it the Ghostrunner.
25:33.820 --> 25:36.101
[SPEAKER_02]: So, he drives into Vargas to the Ghostrunner, giving them the 4-3 lead.
25:36.441 --> 25:38.462
[SPEAKER_02]: The bullpen was just phenomenal once again.
25:38.502 --> 25:40.963
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like we're becoming a broken record, even like Gabe sang earlier.
25:41.323 --> 25:49.888
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a weird feeling knowing that if you can get into the 7th and beyond, either at a one-run lead or with a one-run lead, you feel like you're in a great spot to keep the game where it is.
25:50.469 --> 25:55.212
[SPEAKER_02]: That's just what we got on this one as Ginkl Maria, the wise guy in Garcia all combined to go three and two-thirds.
25:55.592 --> 25:57.873
[SPEAKER_02]: Two hits, no walks, and six strikeouts.
25:57.913 --> 25:59.634
[SPEAKER_02]: So when the bullpens come in, that's another big thing.
25:59.995 --> 26:01.475
[SPEAKER_02]: You got to limit the free passes.
26:01.495 --> 26:03.597
[SPEAKER_02]: They've been not given people many free passes.
26:04.297 --> 26:06.799
[SPEAKER_02]: And then on the note for Garcia, that was his fifth save of the year.
26:07.359 --> 26:07.539
[SPEAKER_02]: He did
26:10.761 --> 26:13.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Couple of the pitches he would have stolen sweepers way out of the zone.
26:13.663 --> 26:28.375
[SPEAKER_02]: It's almost like he was a, you know, the meme of, never let them know your next move because you're on, he's a hard batter to kind of trick and get to look silly and throw in that, you know, 101 miles an hour from which right over the heart of the plate was just absolutely discussing.
26:28.395 --> 26:32.038
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's hilarious watching Garcia do it because I think he has some of the lowest extension.
26:32.558 --> 26:35.379
[SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't it doesn't seem like he really steps towards the plate.
26:35.399 --> 26:54.867
[SPEAKER_02]: He just slingshots the baseball to the plate Hey, it gets a job done another you know W from my case from last year's trade deadline, which is phenomenal But he did lock down the save and the d-backs win a close one here 4 to 3 which was at the time Their 40 second comeback win on this season, which is indie lead of all majorly teams and majorly baseball
26:55.247 --> 27:05.769
[SPEAKER_02]: So huge bounce-like one for the D-backs, especially adding that in with the podres losing, they take back that wild card lead and sit going into Sunday, a half a game ahead on the podres.
27:05.809 --> 27:08.909
[SPEAKER_02]: So Gabe on to you as always, we'll kind of stuck out to you on this one.
27:08.929 --> 27:20.872
[SPEAKER_02]: You kind of more leading towards Brandon Flot, having another quality star keeping these team in it, being able to go into the seventh inning, maybe the clutch hitting from new parmarino could tell his big home run, or even the bullpen being lights out as always.
27:20.892 --> 27:22.572
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll kind of stuck out to you the most here in this 4-3 win.
27:24.618 --> 27:25.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's two things.
27:25.858 --> 27:28.899
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be the bullpin, the fact that they went three and two thirds.
27:30.160 --> 27:35.621
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, Steve, the Astros, like it's close to forering, that they went to, you know, really shut them down.
27:35.701 --> 27:40.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess it's really just the, it's a couple of hits off of a branded bottom in that for that.
27:40.883 --> 27:51.427
[SPEAKER_01]: They came in, shot the door down, they allowed two hits, two hits, those two third gennings, they strike out, was that six guys, they strike out, that's open God.
27:51.467 --> 27:52.667
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's huge.
27:52.687 --> 28:03.531
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we've seen this from these Mike Hays and Bolpins, they just don't strike guys out, and that's something that we've been saying for so years that we've had this podcast, which is, get guys who can strike guys out.
28:04.371 --> 28:24.584
[SPEAKER_01]: When you have the bases loaded, I don't want Ryan Thompson coming in there getting ground balls because they put the ball in play, you might have, you know, you can get the double play, you might be able to get the play at home, it just kind of depends, like you just asking too much when the bit, you know, when you have guys on base and the best you have is guys to get ground balls or pop ups, like
28:25.204 --> 28:47.205
[SPEAKER_01]: see while relying so much on you know flyouts instead and and I can go Thompson with the ground out so everyone is just groundouts or flyouts and it's good like to at least get you for their you know into the night but when you you're getting to the eighth and the night you need you guys who can go up there and shut the door down instead of just giving these teams chance up to chance at the chance because
28:47.925 --> 29:09.833
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we were saying about your don't you get one guy on for your don't that this game could have changed in a hurry But instead the the ball thing guys came out You know when they got a guy on base to get immediately got a couple strikeouts to end the thread and that's huge I'm that's that's a huge huge thing and the other thing I want to point out is could tell that home run I felt like not just changed everything but change
29:10.973 --> 29:22.116
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, do whole, I guess, five that just seemed to have just, you can feel like energy shift with this team, like, you know, they did just been playing just really pathetic baseball.
29:22.136 --> 29:23.797
[SPEAKER_01]: And after that, you just seemed like everything changed.
29:23.817 --> 29:26.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I know this core change obviously tied to the game.
29:26.917 --> 29:32.319
[SPEAKER_01]: But at that point, it felt like the D-backs finally have their, like, answer back moment that they've been,
29:32.919 --> 29:46.235
[SPEAKER_01]: needing these last few weeks, they finally got that home run, they came back, they won this game, they held a lead, you know, really put the pressure on the Astros in a way where the D-backs finally won't the ones who are feeling the pressure.
29:46.296 --> 29:51.442
[SPEAKER_01]: So, hopefully this is a change in this team and the team dynamic, and like I've said,
29:52.583 --> 29:55.185
[SPEAKER_01]: with this pitching stat, four runs, five runs.
29:55.205 --> 29:55.846
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all you need.
29:55.866 --> 29:59.328
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to win most of the games you were able to at least put up four or five runs.
29:59.849 --> 30:03.111
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't rely on one run to get the job done.
30:03.131 --> 30:03.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you just can.
30:03.892 --> 30:12.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Like there's too many variables in baseball where 1 to 0 is just not as possible, even with the best pitching staff in baseball is just not going to happen nine
30:20.485 --> 30:22.046
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, I was, I was messing with my keyboard.
30:22.686 --> 30:44.093
[SPEAKER_02]: I do agree with you a lot on the, the Catel Marta being a live changer that, you know, obviously we've had a couple of wins here and there, but kind of going back to that Sunday game against the Giants, or sorry, that Saturday game against the Giants, the second one, I think the last big, you know, come back, which it wasn't really come back because the game was still tied, was that new bar grand slam, but they definitely failed that kind of, you know, the thing we've seen from this team for so many times throughout the season where,
30:44.613 --> 30:48.615
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they can have just one big inning where they put up, you know, a croaker number and next thing you know, they're back into this game.
30:48.995 --> 30:51.376
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was only one run, obviously, but it was a game time one.
30:51.977 --> 30:56.239
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you, you know, at the end of the head that just, you could feel like the sigh of relief.
30:56.319 --> 30:59.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, they just got that pressure kind of alleviate and they're like, all right, you know what?
30:59.881 --> 31:00.801
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, we're back.
31:01.181 --> 31:02.542
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, this is what we needed.
31:02.562 --> 31:03.422
[SPEAKER_02]: We're still this team.
31:03.442 --> 31:04.243
[SPEAKER_02]: We can, you know, we.
31:05.352 --> 31:33.099
[SPEAKER_02]: have a lot of room to still improve, but we're not this one run per game kind of offense and let's prove it, so I think that was a big thing there, like you said, but also we'll definitely talk about it through, especially the next one bullpen to shut down again, I think that's something that is going to be the the best part of this team, when everything is all said and done and I'm hoping that we can at least let them see some some October innings because mentioned in the last show, bullpen wins you games in the playoffs and we have a bullpen to do that.
31:33.819 --> 31:35.824
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm Brandon sending it on to you now my friend.
31:35.864 --> 31:37.307
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of stuck out to you in this game?
31:37.848 --> 31:44.643
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's something you want to piggyback on what Gabe said, whether it's a hotel in the Volpan or something, you know, completely different that, you know, we haven't heard mentioned yet tonight.
31:45.883 --> 32:11.852
[SPEAKER_03]: uh... no it's uh... could tell marté uh... could tell marté like it uh... the game was spun on it changed the vibes because i think they all were like pressing really hard the last few gate like they were all trying to get that big hit and they just no one was able to get it like four straight games of one run is not good and the like what three of the games were because of a solo homer
32:13.180 --> 32:17.644
[SPEAKER_03]: Lawler had won McCann and we somehow won a game wellings going one run.
32:18.085 --> 32:19.766
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think they all were trying really hard.
32:19.806 --> 32:35.520
[SPEAKER_03]: So just I know that we got the second run on the new bar a double which if you were watching the Fox broadcast was really weird Because the way that they cut it like I couldn't tell if it was a Homer or if it bounced and hit the wall
32:36.390 --> 32:40.592
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he was really like they just edited it, really, really odd.
32:41.693 --> 32:44.354
[SPEAKER_03]: But that Marte Homer was absolutely huge.
32:44.914 --> 32:49.877
[SPEAKER_03]: Got it, tie game, going into extras, and they executed in extras.
32:50.297 --> 32:52.478
[SPEAKER_03]: That's another big thing that stood out to me.
32:52.758 --> 32:58.020
[SPEAKER_03]: Pradoma got the butt down, get thrown at a third, and Gabby came through and hit it over Gabby Lane.
32:58.040 --> 33:03.523
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't hit it through Gabby Lane, hit it over Gabby Lane to drive in Vargas.
33:05.444 --> 33:09.507
[SPEAKER_03]: Garcia, like that whole sequence with Yoran was very interesting.
33:09.547 --> 33:16.231
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I thought they were pitching around them because to be honest, his run didn't really matter too much.
33:17.592 --> 33:18.853
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he was going to be on first.
33:18.873 --> 33:23.335
[SPEAKER_03]: They would probably pinch run for him because they want to get a guy the score on a double or something.
33:24.116 --> 33:27.358
[SPEAKER_03]: And those first three pitches were just non-competitive pitches.
33:27.438 --> 33:31.000
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they were just all the way out of the strike zone.
33:31.921 --> 33:34.683
[SPEAKER_03]: And then he fools him on a sinker.
33:35.388 --> 33:38.810
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I was like, y'all, how do you miss that?
33:39.971 --> 33:44.934
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he was expecting another sweeper, because he had basically thrown all sweepers up to that point.
33:45.455 --> 33:47.116
[SPEAKER_03]: He had thrown four and a row.
33:47.136 --> 33:52.279
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think he was expecting another sweeper, and he gets thrown the thinker, and he just gets frozen.
33:52.820 --> 33:55.702
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, match the class by Brandon Garcia.
33:57.936 --> 33:59.518
[SPEAKER_03]: Just he's been so good.
33:59.899 --> 34:12.358
[SPEAKER_03]: Branding RCA has been just so good against lefties too, like in general, but he's just been so dominant lately that I want to see
34:14.113 --> 34:21.717
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to see them as the closer because what if we have to face a lefty in the seventh inning.
34:22.257 --> 34:25.158
[SPEAKER_03]: And that could be the biggest at the end of the game.
34:25.578 --> 34:36.464
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the problem with when you have a lefty as your closer is you have to decide, like, sometimes the save comes in the seventh, sometimes it comes in the eighth.
34:37.325 --> 34:43.390
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but the nice thing is we have a lot of guys in this bullpener right now that can get the job done.
34:43.930 --> 34:44.711
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, we've seen it.
34:45.131 --> 34:47.293
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen Maria get the job done.
34:47.313 --> 34:49.995
[SPEAKER_03]: We've seen Ginko, we've seen LaWisaGa.
34:50.515 --> 34:53.497
[SPEAKER_03]: Hopefully soon, we'll be able to see J-Mart do it.
34:53.738 --> 34:55.179
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, J-Mart has looked pretty good.
34:55.199 --> 35:02.785
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if the fact is, command's been a little, it if he, but like, he's coming back from Tommy John, like,
35:03.525 --> 35:26.835
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not excited to hand it be perfect and then it's kind of like or the injury he had the at times control issues to that splitter is just disgusting that splitter is just not fair like it's like still on a knuckleball up there literally spinning like 800 like revolutions per minute and apparently knuckleballs average like 700 RPM so when you're throwing like a 93 like 90 93 mile or
35:32.301 --> 35:36.623
[SPEAKER_01]: credit to the catchers to the fact that they're able to like to catch it as well.
35:37.003 --> 35:40.844
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, he's placing it where it seems to be like where they wanted to.
35:40.924 --> 35:42.004
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of the crazy thing.
35:42.024 --> 35:45.086
[SPEAKER_01]: You see that where they set up a, well, that's more or less where he's throwing it to.
35:45.166 --> 35:54.509
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not like he's letting too many get away for him, but still like there was a, I can't remember that catcher's name, but like basically Tim Wakefield's personal career catcher.
36:00.711 --> 36:06.872
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know if you weren't guys remember that story where they traded for him just because nobody could catch them, wake you up, not the ball in Boston.
36:06.892 --> 36:15.334
[SPEAKER_01]: So they traded for him, gave him literally like a police escort from the airplane from the airport to get to to Fenway.
36:16.855 --> 36:22.836
[SPEAKER_01]: But I kind of wanted to answer one of the questions here by a fatty Schroeder saying, let's go see a draft should to be a starting pitcher.
36:23.516 --> 36:26.597
[SPEAKER_01]: Most, like, it's very, very rare that
36:30.838 --> 36:36.381
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll basically every reliever, every closer, everything, they were all failed starting pitchers.
36:36.861 --> 36:56.532
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it's really rare for somebody to actually get drafted as a closer, because usually even in college and stuff like that in high school, the guys who are closing games usually are like the best pitcher on the team, which are usually a starter, like I'm sure, even the guy like Paul Scheme has a few sails under his belt, just because of the way, you know,
36:58.353 --> 37:17.479
[SPEAKER_01]: sometimes in college and in high school they don't need closers or relievers either and like guys go night and things all the time down there so I don't think he was drafted like I can't see anything that he was drafted as a reliever specifically but yeah like I said most of them most most pictures are always drafted as starters rather than relievers
37:18.172 --> 37:31.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there are definitely some that are drafted with like, you know, coming out of the draft that are profiled to be more of like a reliever, like land in Sims when we draft to him, definitely more of a, you know, we'd all be like, all right, he's the most likely to be reliever, but I do think a lot of teams at least try them out.
37:31.260 --> 37:41.487
[SPEAKER_02]: We're like, all right, we'll see how you do as a starter and then go from there, like, it probably a 90% chance that you're going to be a reliever, but we'll at least, you know, give it a shot, but,
37:41.947 --> 37:44.890
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say I'm not sure if you use a start in the Mariners organization.
37:44.910 --> 37:48.393
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he ever got enough paintings plus the weird thing about the miners is so hard to tell.
37:48.413 --> 37:54.418
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean you can even look at some of the D-backs minor league pitchers like human land and some of those on the names mean you might be like wow that's low innings.
37:54.438 --> 37:57.381
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like yeah cuz D-backs refuse to let them really go past five innings.
37:57.801 --> 38:00.764
[SPEAKER_02]: So they're not going to, you know, stack up kind of innings like that going forward, but
38:01.424 --> 38:27.537
[SPEAKER_02]: kind of a Brandon was saying about Brandon Garcia just you know how phenomenal he's been and you make a great point of Brandon where yes it'd be nice to have him as a certified closer but then you wouldn't get what you got here in especially on Sunday's game we'll dive into in a second when sorry real quick i found is the college page he started he played 24 games 19 were as starts so he was starting college okay so he was
38:30.578 --> 38:48.563
[SPEAKER_02]: But it kind of what Brando's saying where yes, it's nice to have him as a certified closure because how good he is, but it's also when you really only have one left in your bullpen, it can't be, you know, state of just to technically to technically to yes, I'm not counting Blake Walston, he he's I'm not going to say anything mean I don't have anything he's Blake Walston, I just don't think he's that good.
38:49.483 --> 38:51.524
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're not going to get what you saw here on Sunday.
38:51.544 --> 38:58.988
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll dive into in a second where, you know, your dog comes up, runners on, you know, first and second, you need a big out there against a lefty.
38:59.028 --> 38:59.709
[SPEAKER_02]: Who do you call upon?
38:59.749 --> 39:01.890
[SPEAKER_02]: You call upon Brandon Garcia and he gets the job done.
39:02.010 --> 39:04.591
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you don't have that if he's your certified closer.
39:04.971 --> 39:11.775
[SPEAKER_02]: And I know, even in your past, we mentioned before, how like, all right, you need a lockdown closer, because let's, let's, let's, everybody slot into their roles.
39:12.195 --> 39:38.767
[SPEAKER_02]: This is, I feel like the one year where the D-backs can actually get away with it, kind of like what Brandon was saying, where there's just so many people in this bullpen, and even like Gabriel saying, so many of these guys that can just strike somebody out, that you can go with from much any of the Wisegham, Rio, Ginkl, J. Mar Garcia, just anywhere in like the 7th or 9th, and obviously you could slot in Taylor Clark and there for a few items here and there, but I think he's definitely more, you know, middle-releaf maybe not as high leverage, but there's definitely a lot of high leverage arms in this
39:39.847 --> 39:53.833
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's basically an embarrassment of riches, which is very, very phenomenal see, but one more note on the Jamard that I know, because we only saw him in Game One, phenomenal, but let me tell you, leave the challenging to the catchers who are already not that great at it.
39:54.113 --> 40:04.938
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys didn't see he threw a splitter that missed by what four or five inches almost, you know, good, a good, full, a couple of baseballs outside the zone and he was very confident in his challenge and it was, uh,
40:05.679 --> 40:13.409
[SPEAKER_03]: It was not used not use well because it was not he probably got a talking to after the game He's and they're like let's leave that to the captures.
40:13.790 --> 40:19.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like we don't let pictures challenge for a reason Everybody and that's why I believe I was first one right the first one the whole season
40:21.651 --> 40:38.668
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that might have been the D-Bax first picture challenge, so I don't think I think Torio from the jump was like, hey, let's leave it to either the catchers or is a batter, because the one thing about pitchers is they're always so confident that everything's a strike even when it's not an actual strike, so that's kind of what we saw there in game one.
40:39.469 --> 40:42.110
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say, just a great come back when they're from this team.
40:42.550 --> 40:47.772
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we can all be in agreement that the Catell home run just definitely change the vibes for this team going the rest of the game.
40:47.872 --> 40:53.034
[SPEAKER_02]: And obviously, time the game is a game changer, but that was definitely a big moment there.
40:53.074 --> 40:56.155
[SPEAKER_02]: Love to see the kind of emotion that you're showing to being able to pivot.
40:56.235 --> 41:01.337
[SPEAKER_02]: And as always, the one thing I did miss about Catell home runs is going on Instagram and seeing the 30 different
41:01.697 --> 41:17.636
[SPEAKER_02]: parts of his story that are all just people tagging him in like literally if you ever get to home run just post it on your Instagram story and I 95% sure that he is going to repost it into his story just because he's like yes yes give me all the love i love it i love it so
41:18.276 --> 41:23.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Make sure you guys, you know, do that if you get the chance and also call on what a boys join the fantasy league.
41:23.139 --> 41:23.780
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate it.
41:23.800 --> 41:24.040
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
41:24.100 --> 41:27.402
[SPEAKER_02]: If you guys, like I said earlier, join our discord and join the fantasy league.
41:27.422 --> 41:30.064
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to get that filled up as much as possible before the season starts.
41:30.324 --> 41:33.125
[SPEAKER_02]: We're thinking about a fun punishment for last place.
41:33.546 --> 41:38.609
[SPEAKER_02]: One of the options floated out there was, you know, if you finish the last place, you got to go to d-backs game wearing a Dodgers hat.
41:39.229 --> 41:40.470
[SPEAKER_02]: Which I don't know if anybody wants to do.
41:40.510 --> 41:49.978
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's that's the reason why it's a punishment because You want to try your best not to be in last or something that could be easier because I mean even me I don't think I can fathom spending money on a Dodgers hat.
41:50.578 --> 41:52.159
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe doing like a you know last.
41:52.179 --> 41:52.419
[SPEAKER_02]: That's cool
41:54.477 --> 41:55.298
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
41:55.318 --> 41:55.658
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
41:56.439 --> 42:01.742
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe at least that way not to spend money, but another one we're thinking of is maybe doing a 24-hour Waffle House challenge.
42:01.782 --> 42:07.906
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely used a bunch, but you get 24 hours in a Waffle House every waffle you eat knocks an hour off of how long you have to be there.
42:07.946 --> 42:18.353
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's up to you if you want to fast before it so you can gather as quick as possible so you can see maybe two fights at most, because we know there's definitely some brawls that go down in those Waffle houses.
42:18.414 --> 42:18.554
[SPEAKER_02]: But
42:19.234 --> 42:21.395
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so yeah, again, make sure you join the discord for all that fun stuff.
42:21.415 --> 42:22.055
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be doing that here.
42:22.095 --> 42:24.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully soon because the season is going to be starting here soon.
42:24.876 --> 42:29.218
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe kick-off is on Thursday, but I will not hear this because Wednesday is Wednesday.
42:29.238 --> 42:29.658
[SPEAKER_02]: What the fuck?
42:30.078 --> 42:31.199
[SPEAKER_02]: That's weird.
42:31.219 --> 42:32.819
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, we'll wrap them on Tuesday.
42:33.059 --> 42:35.500
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's why we need to get this filled up as a ASAP.
42:35.540 --> 42:39.082
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you're already in the discord, send it to a friend, get them to the join the whole week.
42:39.402 --> 42:41.503
[SPEAKER_01]: How many spots and how many of you guys have so far?
42:42.423 --> 42:47.545
[SPEAKER_03]: So I sent it at 12, but I'm willing to move it to 10 if we can get 10 people.
42:49.520 --> 42:50.601
[SPEAKER_03]: And how are we out like our six?
42:51.601 --> 42:54.062
[SPEAKER_02]: We're currently at seven.
42:54.722 --> 42:56.263
[SPEAKER_02]: So many three more three more.
42:56.283 --> 43:00.984
[SPEAKER_02]: So gave it if you want to hop in, maybe we can try to bully Josh in the joining too, or Oscar.
43:01.985 --> 43:06.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so older brothers, a lot better than me at that fantasy.
43:07.427 --> 43:10.668
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'll ask him, he was looking for a one to join.
43:10.688 --> 43:14.870
[SPEAKER_01]: I think some, the one that he was on before, I think they're not doing it this year.
43:14.890 --> 43:15.850
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's probably looking for a one.
43:16.422 --> 43:16.662
[SPEAKER_02]: Perfect.
43:16.682 --> 43:17.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and let them know.
43:17.503 --> 43:20.244
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't jumped in so we can at least get it filled before before Tuesday.
43:20.264 --> 43:20.705
[SPEAKER_02]: So we'll need it.
43:20.725 --> 43:22.386
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll need a draft before the game start.
43:22.406 --> 43:28.109
[SPEAKER_02]: But going on in today's game, the series finale, the rubber match of this series obviously.
43:28.129 --> 43:29.971
[SPEAKER_02]: There's been huge.
43:30.011 --> 43:35.914
[SPEAKER_02]: This is a, you know, we, we, a lot of people alone will say not ever get not many games are must wins in early September.
43:36.535 --> 43:43.980
[SPEAKER_02]: But I would say that this was a must win game and a must win series, especially considering where the, the, the plodries were able to take their series of the Yankees to the debacks.
43:44.720 --> 43:48.923
[SPEAKER_02]: In this one, it needed the win to stay a half game ahead of the podgers and thankfully.
43:49.644 --> 43:54.147
[SPEAKER_02]: We had the man on the bunch to do it, but before the game even started, we got some roster news.
43:54.308 --> 44:02.954
[SPEAKER_02]: Max Isis Kepler was actually deified and released from this team, and the ADC was recalled from Reno to take his place, so no longer have to deal with good old Max Kepler.
44:03.355 --> 44:11.101
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure what kind of blackmail he was using, but I feel like they gave him some pity at bats the last two games and games won games too before they knew they're going to get rid of him.
44:11.821 --> 44:13.402
[SPEAKER_02]: So that was the roster we've made before the game.
44:13.762 --> 44:16.284
[SPEAKER_02]: But once the game got started, Ace Rod was on the bump.
44:16.764 --> 44:21.167
[SPEAKER_02]: And again, not the prettiest outing, but it was really solid yet again.
44:21.948 --> 44:27.812
[SPEAKER_02]: Six innings, three hits, one earned two walks and six trackouts on 96 pitches, 59 for strikes, so definitely.
44:28.412 --> 44:32.075
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe more balls than we were expecting, but he was able to throw at least more strikes.
44:32.295 --> 44:37.038
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was his 15th win on the season, which is his most since he was a red stock in 2019.
44:37.078 --> 44:39.780
[SPEAKER_02]: Crazy say it's got 15 wins, but not a strike now at my bingo card.
44:40.360 --> 44:45.782
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, if that one-home run to Yordon Alvarez and the first, but that was all the damage that the Astros would do, you can see, Rod.
44:46.863 --> 44:49.084
[SPEAKER_02]: I said earlier, Brandon, what the whiffs?
44:49.184 --> 44:51.465
[SPEAKER_02]: Yordon basically just said, hey, hold my beard, both of you guys.
44:51.485 --> 44:54.146
[SPEAKER_02]: He had 19 whiffs in this game.
44:54.606 --> 44:57.747
[SPEAKER_02]: Nine on this change, four on his force, or sorry, seven on the four seamer.
44:58.068 --> 44:59.488
[SPEAKER_02]: Two on the cutter and one on the curve.
44:59.508 --> 45:03.790
[SPEAKER_02]: So the change up is one of his best pitches just had the Astros, just swinging and missing.
45:04.370 --> 45:12.973
[SPEAKER_02]: The ERN season now down to 255, which is lowest since 2023, and his most innings pitched at 173, which is the most since 2019.
45:13.013 --> 45:19.015
[SPEAKER_02]: So just a phenomenal season free rod, either a career year or second best year of his career, which is phenomenal.
45:19.035 --> 45:28.438
[SPEAKER_02]: The offense in this one all came from James McKinney getting a sack fly and the no-naronado getting a two run home run for his 22nd on the season and absolute blasts out in 103 off the bat 385 feet.
45:30.579 --> 45:55.357
[SPEAKER_02]: Predomo, unfortunately, did not escape this game cleanly as Katsel Marte did have a 93 mile hour line drive that he kind of jumped into the ball, you know, he could have ducked and avoided it, but sometimes when the balls hit that hard, you don't really have much time to react, he did try to avoid it, but unfortunately he did hit him, it looked like he hit off his helmet thankfully and avoided hitting him in the face or like, you know, direct contact to him, so hopefully the helmet was able to, you know,
45:55.978 --> 45:58.383
[SPEAKER_02]: It was worth most of the damage, but he was removed from the game.
45:58.704 --> 46:04.357
[SPEAKER_02]: The D-back support, it was a head contusion, and the Nike will be monitored today and into tomorrow, so hopefully everything's all good.
46:05.566 --> 46:10.229
[SPEAKER_02]: mentioned earlier with how good the bullpen is, but they were, you know, in this one, phenomenal as well.
46:10.589 --> 46:12.930
[SPEAKER_02]: As just in the entire series, they were, oh, they were great.
46:12.950 --> 46:15.171
[SPEAKER_02]: They combined to go 8 and 2, 3rds this series.
46:15.552 --> 46:16.952
[SPEAKER_02]: Five hits, one earned run.
46:17.152 --> 46:17.853
[SPEAKER_02]: No walks.
46:18.053 --> 46:22.015
[SPEAKER_02]: The entire series from the bullpen with 14 strikeouts combined.
46:22.055 --> 46:23.416
[SPEAKER_02]: So kind of what gave us going back to earlier.
46:23.436 --> 46:25.797
[SPEAKER_02]: We got some strike throwers and guys that will get some swing and missing.
46:25.817 --> 46:26.818
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what we got in the series.
46:27.258 --> 46:36.908
[SPEAKER_02]: especially Ginkl there in the ninth inning, struck out the side, I mean getting your dawn to swing and miss on a disgusting slider that's one of his best pitches and one of the best pitches for the entire D-backs pitching staff.
46:37.469 --> 46:43.215
[SPEAKER_02]: I think his slider is like the second best when you're going off of runs value per stat cast, so shout out to him on this one.
46:43.555 --> 46:50.042
[SPEAKER_02]: Also shout out to our man Jesse Freeman, he had this tweet that said the last five games for Kemi Ginkl, he's gone four and one-third innings.
46:50.542 --> 46:58.312
[SPEAKER_02]: with zero hits, walks or runs, and eight strikeouts, so I think that's all since the rough eighth inning yet in San Francisco, so he's bounced back in a big way.
46:58.713 --> 47:05.642
[SPEAKER_02]: And that D-backs win there, the three to two win was their 43rd comeback win in the season, so adding on to their major league lead.
47:06.463 --> 47:08.485
[SPEAKER_02]: in comeback wins on the year.
47:08.585 --> 47:22.121
[SPEAKER_02]: So a great game from the D-backs often stood just enough with the pitching yet again carries them on to a win and a big time when to keep that half game lead over the podgers before we head on into Kansas City front of the big three game series here
47:22.801 --> 47:26.402
[SPEAKER_02]: Coming up to start Monday, but Gabe actually know what we're changing up over the Brandon.
47:26.422 --> 47:37.664
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to you first on this one What's that got to see the most in this one whether it be e-rod whether it be the bullpen yet again or maybe even a little bit of a you know some offense here That we kind of got cuz I know Corbin another name.
47:37.704 --> 47:42.985
[SPEAKER_02]: He's been you know swinging it well the last two games at least You know a couple doubles here up to 30 plus on the season already.
47:43.005 --> 47:43.646
[SPEAKER_02]: I was all right.
47:43.666 --> 47:50.127
[SPEAKER_02]: I think over 30 already on the season What kind of stuff got to you in this very very crucial when you're on Sunday?
47:51.802 --> 47:55.706
[SPEAKER_03]: pitching, pitching was phenomenal in this game erod.
47:56.667 --> 48:06.498
[SPEAKER_03]: The fact that he has an ERA of six in the first inning and then like ending two through seven is like under two blows my mind.
48:07.482 --> 48:11.966
[SPEAKER_03]: blows my mind that he just, he struggles out the gate, but he figures it out.
48:12.446 --> 48:14.487
[SPEAKER_03]: He rides the ship, he gets it done.
48:15.028 --> 48:19.131
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's just crazy to me, just how much he struggles in the first.
48:19.171 --> 48:29.779
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, toy kind of brought it up in the post game of post conference, like it might just be the transition from the bullpen mound to the actual game mound and it's just a little bit different for him.
48:30.180 --> 48:33.262
[SPEAKER_03]: So he just takes one ending to adjust to it.
48:37.125 --> 48:38.165
[SPEAKER_03]: is really impressive.
48:39.046 --> 48:42.707
[SPEAKER_03]: Like that is, uh, that's insane.
48:42.847 --> 48:50.370
[SPEAKER_03]: But on 19 on what 96 pages, so almost 20 percent, like that's, that's pretty incredible.
48:51.370 --> 48:55.212
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and yeah, we, we've talked about just how good this bullpen is.
48:56.432 --> 49:05.038
[SPEAKER_03]: And for so long, I would rather have a guy that strikes out, has the ability to strike guys out than pitch the contact.
49:05.418 --> 49:11.683
[SPEAKER_03]: I cannot stand in the bullpen, pitch the contact, drives me nuts because you are asking for trouble.
49:12.363 --> 49:16.786
[SPEAKER_03]: You are asking for trouble if you want guys to make contact.
49:17.447 --> 49:19.968
[SPEAKER_03]: And I still feel the same way about starting pitchers, too.
49:20.649 --> 49:21.990
[SPEAKER_03]: Once they go pitch the contact,
49:23.149 --> 49:26.317
[SPEAKER_03]: doesn't bother me as much because you have more of
49:27.347 --> 49:29.568
[SPEAKER_03]: five, six antings for them to get it done.
49:30.248 --> 49:38.792
[SPEAKER_03]: So, but yeah, the bullpen phenomenon, 14 strikeouts in almost nine antings is really impressive.
49:38.952 --> 49:43.534
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, glad that Ginkl's kind of, because it's weird.
49:43.554 --> 49:50.076
[SPEAKER_03]: He has like a bad outing and when he has a bad outing, it's a bad, bad outing.
49:50.136 --> 49:51.217
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it's a blowup.
49:51.257 --> 49:52.918
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he gives up like four or five
49:54.533 --> 49:59.694
[SPEAKER_03]: But then he figures it out and he pitches extremely well, like he has in his last five.
50:00.154 --> 50:03.275
[SPEAKER_03]: And he looks really good here in the ninth inning.
50:03.715 --> 50:06.916
[SPEAKER_03]: Garcia won round two against Yordon.
50:08.776 --> 50:11.036
[SPEAKER_03]: So Garcia owns Yordon Outerism.
50:11.196 --> 50:13.377
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe Garcia is his kryptonite.
50:14.137 --> 50:18.858
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that people are telling him, hey, he's Yordaddy, but it's, take out your welcome.
50:20.287 --> 50:21.728
[SPEAKER_03]: You had to get that in there, didn't you?
50:22.328 --> 50:22.708
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
50:23.568 --> 50:28.611
[SPEAKER_03]: And I just, I think Perdomal will be okay because they just said it's ahead of contusion.
50:28.691 --> 50:33.633
[SPEAKER_03]: So hopefully, I ain't no calling in the chat says I've already placed tomorrow.
50:34.333 --> 50:35.353
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think he does.
50:35.373 --> 50:39.375
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he sits tomorrow, but I do think he plays on Tuesday.
50:41.911 --> 50:56.570
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I think I think they're just going to be more cautionary with them to make sure, especially, you know, being a head injury, the majorly baseball doesn't really play around with, they actually care about their players on like the NFL with like, to incursions and beating women, get back out their champ, we got a game to play.
50:57.390 --> 50:59.773
[SPEAKER_02]: released in baseball, they're like, all right, you know, let's still roll a little bit.
50:59.793 --> 51:06.079
[SPEAKER_02]: So I would not be surprised if he gets another day off, but hopefully it's nothing serious and he's good to go because he's uh, he's he's very tough.
51:06.099 --> 51:15.348
[SPEAKER_02]: It takes a lot to take part on a lot of it, but Yeah, even though one more note about the other bullpen there, even if you take out a loisagos game, I mean, three of those five hits all came from the loisagos on the one run.
51:15.828 --> 51:20.313
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you just butterknife that out there, I think it's what seven and two thirds with two hits no runs, no walks.
51:20.713 --> 51:25.934
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think still 12 or 13 track, I was going to think Johnny Lazzoni only had two today, I'm going to double check.
51:25.954 --> 51:27.275
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the wise guy too.
51:27.315 --> 51:36.877
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's still be 72 thirds, two hits, no runs on 12 strikeouts for the rest of the bullpen outside of Lazzoni is I wouldn't say bad outing the Ash was just put up a couple of good hits there in that inning.
51:37.297 --> 51:39.017
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, it's just, it's phenomenal.
51:39.037 --> 51:42.178
[SPEAKER_02]: We've seen we could talk about this bullpen every single game, every single series in general, but
51:42.738 --> 52:02.063
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say, not sure what the issue is hit with the, you run the first inning, but it's always nice to see and be able to settle in and kind of, you know, go the rest of the way because that's sometimes what we see in the past, especially last year, where he'd had that bad first inning and then the second and third inning isn't much better and then we're already into the bullpen with, you know, six innings to go and we're, we're getting gas with this series.
52:02.083 --> 52:02.283
[SPEAKER_02]: So,
52:02.783 --> 52:04.984
[SPEAKER_02]: You just turn around here for your rod continues.
52:05.804 --> 52:07.844
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just generally great all around game in this one.
52:07.864 --> 52:10.165
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you guys got the clutch hits on the needed two?
52:10.905 --> 52:18.706
[SPEAKER_02]: They had the clutch bolt pin pitching on the needed and they just were able to, you know, deny the astros of having their big moment in this one thankfully.
52:18.746 --> 52:20.827
[SPEAKER_02]: So, game onto you, my friend.
52:21.067 --> 52:26.328
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of stuck out to you in this game three finale here that had the debacks taking a close three to two win?
52:28.133 --> 52:47.425
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess, like Brandt said, a lot of it is depicting, I mean, the fact that they kept your on, I just took the stat, you went one for ten with three strikeouts in this series, like that's huge, the fact that they were able to hold off the, you know, probable NBP, one for ten, just the one home run that he hit today, but that's it.
52:48.105 --> 52:50.046
[SPEAKER_01]: like I'm looking, go on over my three for ten there, right?
52:50.126 --> 52:51.186
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, but it didn't hit.
52:51.206 --> 52:52.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it didn't hit.
52:52.246 --> 52:52.786
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it didn't hit.
52:52.827 --> 52:53.327
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't hit.
52:53.427 --> 52:55.927
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that the home runs as yeah, three for ten there, right?
52:56.508 --> 53:02.049
[SPEAKER_01]: So three for ten, but three strikeouts, you know, obviously he's still your on, but not doing a lot of damage with that.
53:02.069 --> 53:03.730
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really, really, just the one RBI.
53:03.770 --> 53:06.411
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's huge for this team.
53:07.811 --> 53:33.416
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just that, a lot of hits, they had a lot of hits in this game, that nine hits works not much actual scoring in their solo for four, so as a series in total, I think they also win like another over 10 or one for 12 or something like that, which runs in score position, just not doing a lot there unfortunately, but E-Rod still I guess just continues to impress, just the fact that he didn't start off good in this game.
53:34.096 --> 53:58.548
[SPEAKER_01]: releasing to the labor at times and still gave six innings just one run six strike out it's like that's huge the fact that you when he's struggling he still does really good job and you know gators team a chance to win uh his he's erry total as a dime back is now 3.88 which again there's just going lower and lower with like I said before like he's going to be and if he continues there's he's going to be in a lot of
53:59.368 --> 54:03.691
[SPEAKER_01]: D-backs top 10 with pitching-wise and we've had a lot of great pictures here.
54:03.711 --> 54:10.537
[SPEAKER_01]: We've had Zygranky, Kirk Chilling, Brandon Wey, Randy Johnson, like a 1-4 or a 4-straight.
54:11.217 --> 54:15.140
[SPEAKER_01]: Zyung's probably should have won like five or six in a row if it wasn't for that.
54:16.481 --> 54:17.462
[SPEAKER_01]: The S-241.
54:19.183 --> 54:23.987
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, he's been great for this team and he's been a huge lifesaver because
54:24.567 --> 54:26.529
[SPEAKER_01]: They desperately needed this win.
54:26.549 --> 54:33.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Like they just could not be a series loss because they've lost I believe two out of the last three series.
54:33.193 --> 54:45.782
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it is like they they're gonna slide right now and With the podries, you know on the slide as well, but they're gonna either win today or whatever You can't just keep matching loss for loss for wins for wins with the podgers yet to start winning.
54:45.822 --> 54:52.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So They have 18 games left and if you ride spitting at least three of those games you feel confident that
54:53.686 --> 54:57.308
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, they could at least pick up through wins here and the rest of the kind of just have to work backwards.
54:58.849 --> 55:03.852
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I don't think it's, you know, it can be overstated just how huge it would have been this entire season.
55:04.272 --> 55:08.174
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, obviously, thoughts had a solid, you know, a month and a half since being recalled I guess two months now.
55:08.614 --> 55:16.498
[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, from day one ever since the World Baseball Classic championship where he helped to Venezuela take home the title, he's just been a completely different pitcher.
55:16.518 --> 55:20.781
[SPEAKER_02]: So, once again, shout out to Salvi for fixing E-rod, whatever he needed to do, or once
55:23.542 --> 55:27.964
[SPEAKER_02]: He was actually able to, you know, get a little bit healthier going on season, you know, get into better shape.
55:28.004 --> 55:28.784
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe that's it.
55:28.804 --> 55:35.067
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it's just, you know, something mechanically, not sure what it is, but it's been nice to know that it's not like one of those were always had two good months.
55:35.087 --> 55:36.047
[SPEAKER_02]: He's kind of come back on earth.
55:36.467 --> 55:37.928
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm doing it this entire time.
55:37.948 --> 55:42.329
[SPEAKER_02]: I said 15 wins having that ERA as a D back down like even what do you say 35 35.
55:44.170 --> 55:50.175
[SPEAKER_02]: Or whatever it was, after the rough two years that he had to begin his DBX career is just phenomenal.
55:50.195 --> 56:05.666
[SPEAKER_02]: See where I'm turning around and definitely has been earning that contract and just being one of the along with the bullpen kind of some of the more, you know, MVP names for this team and the reason why they have, you know, the lead and the wildcard they currently have and the amount of wins they do because
56:06.306 --> 56:18.568
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I know Windsor and overrated pitcher stat, but it does also kind of give a lot of credit to him because, you know, in a game like this, he's able to keep them well in the game and give them a huge or big big chance to win the game.
56:18.588 --> 56:19.349
[SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly what he did.
56:19.369 --> 56:28.811
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously the offense is able to do their job at least just enough with the bullpen carrying it the rest of the way, but a phenomenal win like you said can't keep relying on other teams to do the job for you.
56:28.851 --> 56:31.031
[SPEAKER_02]: You need to win when you have the opportunity to win.
56:31.451 --> 56:32.591
[SPEAKER_02]: and thankfully they able to do that.
56:33.132 --> 56:33.632
[SPEAKER_02]: It does suck.
56:33.652 --> 56:39.014
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like they had the opportunity to sweep this series with hindsight, but the Astros are still a good team.
56:39.714 --> 56:42.135
[SPEAKER_02]: They're in, you know, the first place in the L.S.
56:42.155 --> 56:42.615
[SPEAKER_02]: for a reason.
56:42.935 --> 56:47.496
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not like we were going up against a Colorado Rockies, which obviously we lost the series to them, which is just hilarious.
56:47.516 --> 56:48.277
[SPEAKER_02]: We can be the Astros.
56:48.297 --> 56:48.937
[SPEAKER_02]: We can be the Cubs.
56:49.277 --> 56:50.697
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't fucking beat the Rockies.
56:51.078 --> 56:52.058
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes no sense to me.
56:52.078 --> 56:55.099
[SPEAKER_02]: So hopefully we can make care for that here in the next week or so, but
56:55.719 --> 57:07.702
[SPEAKER_02]: Some of the comments, at least I wanted to highlight here in the chat, which as always we appreciate all you guys tuning in and we got Colin, Fatty, Justin, Sean, and some of the legends probably lurking as well here, but we appreciate you guys tuning on in.
57:09.082 --> 57:12.543
[SPEAKER_02]: Fatty San, I was actually shocked there, I'll just score with risk, but hopefully we can continue to score runs.
57:12.563 --> 57:20.004
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they definitely need the offense to kind of wake up a little bit, because the bullpen and the starting pitching is not going to be able to perform the way they have been every single game.
57:20.404 --> 57:23.765
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just statistically not possible, so the offense needs to start holding their own a little bit more.
57:25.126 --> 57:31.969
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin's asking you who's pitching tomorrow, we'll definitely dive into the next series going forward here in just a moment, so don't you worry we'll touch on that.
57:32.969 --> 57:35.610
[SPEAKER_02]: Like Call of the Sun earlier, you can't blame for giving up a Yordon bomb.
57:35.890 --> 57:38.031
[SPEAKER_02]: It's Yordon, it's Yordon and Baby Park.
57:38.412 --> 57:40.012
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, the dudes got 38 bombs for a reason.
57:40.192 --> 57:44.014
[SPEAKER_02]: It was just, we were gonna keep them out of the home run call in the entire series.
57:44.074 --> 57:45.195
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just glad it was only one.
57:45.675 --> 57:50.077
[SPEAKER_02]: And not like he had four or five home runs and was able to cross 40 homes or 40 bombs in season.
57:50.777 --> 57:54.020
[SPEAKER_02]: Corbin barrels, a legend jumping in, what a family, what a Corbin.
57:54.040 --> 57:57.022
[SPEAKER_02]: I was appreciate you stopping on my hope you're having a great weekend with the family.
57:58.863 --> 58:01.204
[SPEAKER_02]: Kind of going back to the column of saying about the bullpen.
58:01.224 --> 58:03.326
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, if we had this bullpen in 23, we would have won it all.
58:03.926 --> 58:06.508
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, 23, 24, we would have made the playoffs.
58:06.548 --> 58:11.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if we would have ever had this kind of bullpen, I mean, give us this kind of bullpen in like 2017.
58:11.892 --> 58:14.874
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, see where we go in in that wild card run, my goodness.
58:15.554 --> 58:18.416
[SPEAKER_02]: Or even in, you know, time travel give us this in 2011.
58:19.096 --> 58:28.041
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we, we knock out the brewers and then knock out the cartels, but maybe that's just me being still, you know, coping because, you know, that hurt my heart as it has a child washing the e-bex.
58:28.061 --> 58:32.504
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean, that kind of go back to what we were talking about with Perdomo.
58:33.044 --> 58:35.205
[SPEAKER_02]: Sean says, I think Tori said Jerry will be in the lab tomorrow.
58:35.806 --> 58:38.527
[SPEAKER_02]: Colonial says, that's what he thought he saw and then just didn't even confirm.
58:38.947 --> 58:42.109
[SPEAKER_02]: So it sounds like he will be in the lab and he's going off with Tori Levela says, but he knows,
58:46.598 --> 58:47.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Just tell me.
58:47.738 --> 58:59.321
[SPEAKER_01]: At least with that, we can talk about it now, I guess it was a contusion which is the skin or just underneath the skin so it wasn't like, you know, he got a concussion or something like that.
58:59.801 --> 59:03.042
[SPEAKER_01]: You obviously can't play it with the concussion because that actually rattles your brain.
59:04.082 --> 59:13.084
[SPEAKER_01]: So basically it's like he just got a bruised on his arm, played some of the top of his head, which obviously is still not great, but it's like a skin deep sort of situation thankfully.
59:15.144 --> 59:32.028
[SPEAKER_01]: Helmets are really important and helmet technology is kind of long long way and especially after seeing you know Loller get hit the way he did and You know you you're still reminded of like the junk car little stand time like you know Head and a lot of guys careers get really affected by this.
59:32.068 --> 59:41.990
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm really thankful for like, you know Helmets technology because even in the NFL I know those helmets look a little silly of the big ones, but we got it down like hey, it keeps you if you keep your brain
59:45.091 --> 01:00:00.435
[SPEAKER_01]: Like safety, I don't know if you guys are watching crazy Russian hacker but like safety is number one priority Like especially with guys brains like that's something that you like you really really need guys to watch because You know you get hit 98 in the head the wrong way.
01:00:00.895 --> 01:00:05.696
[SPEAKER_01]: It's lights out other physically or literally You know that might be it for you so
01:00:06.417 --> 01:00:21.918
[SPEAKER_01]: It's nice to see that he was able to recover and be okay, like as weird as it might be like almost luggy that it held hit him in the head area because it could be the helmet instead of him getting it on a place where he's going to broken and then he's just out for the rest of the season
01:00:23.184 --> 01:00:24.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say the Helmet Technologies huge.
01:00:24.924 --> 01:00:27.725
[SPEAKER_02]: If we can limit the amount of Antonio Browns, we have in the world going forward.
01:00:27.745 --> 01:00:30.026
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a huge win for society in general.
01:00:30.626 --> 01:00:33.287
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't need any more CTSP in players out there.
01:00:33.647 --> 01:00:40.389
[SPEAKER_02]: And especially, you know, kind of you're talking about with the thing, I mean, it's still crazy to look back in time that, you know, obviously players have been throwing hard.
01:00:40.409 --> 01:00:41.349
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't have as many players.
01:00:42.189 --> 01:01:02.477
[SPEAKER_02]: there weren't as many players back in the day as there are now pumping like a hundred plus but I mean back when what Bob gives him was playing a hitters weren't wearing helmets, you know it wasn't a thing and that even the back into the 2000s I mean that's why base coach is now at the war helmets because I believe there was one in the giants minor league organization that unfortunately did pass away after being hit with a they fell ball because
01:01:03.077 --> 01:01:06.019
[SPEAKER_02]: in based coaches, it's like, who cares if you're wearing a helmet or not, you're not playing.
01:01:06.879 --> 01:01:20.046
[SPEAKER_02]: And that kind of situation happened to like, wow, it's very important to protect your head, especially when you have these kind of objects flying 90, even a 90-mon hour pitch hitting you in the head, like Gabe said, if you hit the wrong spot, you can do a lot of damage.
01:01:20.066 --> 01:01:20.586
[SPEAKER_02]: So shadow,
01:01:22.487 --> 01:01:27.209
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, glad that it was, you know, just a contusion and we didn't get, you know, oh, he's got a concussion.
01:01:27.229 --> 01:01:31.410
[SPEAKER_02]: He's out because, I mean, that's kind of what knocked you out at least, at least a week.
01:01:31.470 --> 01:01:33.471
[SPEAKER_02]: So, at least for the the Royal Series and the one after it.
01:01:34.932 --> 01:01:44.015
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if we want to deal with the little Mario Vargas as a defense, they're a short stop because I think even in today's game, uh, the ball that hose out to you, they hit that kind of led to that one run scoring against Lazania.
01:01:45.605 --> 01:01:49.268
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe Jerry makes that play and we don't have to worry about the run scoring in general.
01:01:49.308 --> 01:02:02.519
[SPEAKER_02]: So glad that he's able to kind of miss any major injuries going forward and hopefully it'll be back whether tomorrow or on Tuesday for Corbin Burns first start as it deback on 2026 hopefully we can make sure that he is safe and good to go forward.
01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:10.386
[SPEAKER_02]: But gentlemen, any of the final thoughts in this series in general for the Astros anything that we didn't touch on any other moments that you wanted to kind of highlight here before we move on?
01:02:13.667 --> 01:02:25.296
[SPEAKER_03]: One thing, the way that Tory handled bringing Garcia today was so odd, and so I really thought they were going to let Maria pitch to you and on in the seventh inning.
01:02:26.037 --> 01:02:28.899
[SPEAKER_03]: I was, it was so weird like,
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:43.695
[SPEAKER_03]: They had Brian Kaplan go out and, and then they had him face another batter, and then James McHan goes out for a mountain visit, like, they delayed it as long as they could to give Garcia enough time to get warmed up.
01:02:44.115 --> 01:02:46.598
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, they're doing the, the step off as well.
01:02:47.600 --> 01:02:56.903
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, that wasn't just like just doing everything that they could to give Garcia just a couple more pitches in the bullpen to get warmed up.
01:02:58.044 --> 01:03:00.084
[SPEAKER_03]: It's it was within the rules.
01:03:00.204 --> 01:03:01.205
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't realize that.
01:03:02.845 --> 01:03:08.090
[SPEAKER_03]: That step-off was one of the two disengagement that they had used for that at Battle Ready.
01:03:08.390 --> 01:03:10.292
[SPEAKER_03]: So Garcia only had one to use.
01:03:11.093 --> 01:03:12.834
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was a rule that I didn't know.
01:03:13.275 --> 01:03:17.979
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was two per pitcher, not two per at bat.
01:03:18.019 --> 01:03:24.505
[SPEAKER_03]: So that was just me not understanding the rule too much, but they worked out because he got him to pop up in Falter at Tor.
01:03:25.980 --> 01:03:50.058
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was a definitely because I was playing some some black flag while I had the game day up on my computer and I saw I was like this is a very long mound visit so that's when I went back after the inning and washed it over and was like wow yeah that was a definitely a oh shit we need them to get warm let's milk as much of the time as we possibly can because Murillo you're good I think he's still on his consecutive outing score let's treat too I think
01:03:55.222 --> 01:04:06.150
[SPEAKER_01]: because Christian Vases had gotten the single so he's on first and then with the opinion, like did they want just to give him enough time to warm up or was that just an accident?
01:04:06.190 --> 01:04:14.617
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they obviously gave him a lot more time with the fact that he got ahead and it was him, like in the arm, just with that little bit of the injury to lay.
01:04:14.657 --> 01:04:23.904
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was just very strange where it was just... Mount visit, Mount visits, step off, and it was basically like two minutes of just that time.
01:04:25.070 --> 01:04:40.933
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know what to see that in baseball nowadays, which I like because I did not miss back on the day when games would take three and a half hours unless you're an alcoholic and you want to drink as many beers you possibly can three and a half hour long baseball games unless you're going to an extra things is not fun like
01:04:41.654 --> 01:04:50.701
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm glad we have the rules about disengagement because there's one of those Dodger pictures that I think it like stepped off and would try to pick off like eight pitches in a row without throwing a pitch.
01:04:50.741 --> 01:04:55.565
[SPEAKER_02]: There's like a four minute window between pitches at should fucking horrible.
01:04:55.625 --> 01:04:56.045
[SPEAKER_02]: It sucked.
01:04:56.265 --> 01:04:57.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad we got the rules.
01:04:57.066 --> 01:05:02.650
[SPEAKER_02]: We got nowadays because I can not imagine whether it's my attention span or not, but it's nice to have actual action.
01:05:02.710 --> 01:05:08.494
[SPEAKER_02]: It's one of the reasons why baseball is actually popular again because, you know, we're not sitting here like falling asleep in between every single pitch.
01:05:09.315 --> 01:05:12.437
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they just stay a very well played series well managed here as well.
01:05:12.457 --> 01:05:19.801
[SPEAKER_02]: So once again, you got to give Tori the the props he deserves for you know how he calls upon guys when he's been calling upon guys certain pinch hits and all that.
01:05:20.442 --> 01:05:30.347
[SPEAKER_02]: Outside of letting Max Kempler start the last few days that's the only issue I had with Tori this week, but maybe that was my case and going, hey man, we're getting rid of him Sunday morning.
01:05:31.348 --> 01:05:34.989
[SPEAKER_02]: given his final farewell at bats, you know, basically like, hey, thank you.
01:05:35.649 --> 01:05:46.232
[SPEAKER_02]: We appreciate what you did hit the fucking road bump because shocker, the guy that wasn't good and the last good season he had was because his steroids still isn't good.
01:05:46.292 --> 01:05:58.655
[SPEAKER_02]: So thankfully, we no longer are the deal with Max Kepler stealing ABs from anybody else, but sooner than we're going to deal with Lord of Scoreal stealing ABs from Lawler and Walshmit, which is a very, very unfortunate going forward,
01:05:59.355 --> 01:06:00.076
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean he has it.
01:06:00.116 --> 01:06:22.952
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he he has it in plates and still we've only faced right so which is Yeah, but I mean with the max couple of things like I always say or I guess we always say like we don't want guys So it's a drive like it's not great so you know as much as We despise payment on the field like off the field where like I ain't what's it does So I like it does I do they have which turn things around at least we're got a Kepler and my opinion
01:06:24.273 --> 01:06:45.647
[SPEAKER_01]: Like steroid guys don't belong in baseball, like you should know at that point like you shouldn't Be taking steroids because you're taking away If you're gonna take steroids at least be good like It's kind of the way I feel about the astros stains where it's like there's a couple guys who don't knock around by the Astros in 2017 and the careers ended like they would never brought up
01:06:46.307 --> 01:06:51.613
[SPEAKER_01]: back, you know, into base plan, you know, one of the hardest thing is to get up to the major leaks.
01:06:51.673 --> 01:06:54.376
[SPEAKER_01]: And usually when you're up there, you do okay.
01:06:54.756 --> 01:06:55.517
[SPEAKER_01]: You stay there.
01:06:55.958 --> 01:07:00.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And for guys to get knocked around the way, you know, the rest was there to some some guys.
01:07:00.743 --> 01:07:03.966
[SPEAKER_01]: That affects their entire career, even though it was cheating.
01:07:04.006 --> 01:07:04.987
[SPEAKER_01]: And so Max Kepler.
01:07:05.588 --> 01:07:26.660
[SPEAKER_01]: there could be could have been a couple guys who's career he ended because he just hit a timely home run while on you know PED so in my opinion these terror guys like there's just no redemption mark for me for any of these guys before 2000 you know after 2004 I'll say that anybody 2004 and before when it was okay by the league
01:07:27.340 --> 01:07:44.572
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine by me, but yeah, when you're affecting guys career and he's taking away opportunities from young guys as we saw here, just taking away a bath from guys like Lollar or Walshmit that carries on, you know, for years and so that really if they guys career is when you have a guy who's doing steroids or any sort of PDs.
01:07:45.987 --> 01:07:59.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, say definitely like he said like after a four because I'm like that was back in the day like that's why the whole like when people were like oh Mark McGuire Stirred user like do that was back in the day when which I've said it before Baseball doesn't exist in a phenomenal video.
01:07:59.844 --> 01:08:04.530
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like a two and a half hour long video on based like the history of steroids I'm looking up again.
01:08:04.570 --> 01:08:04.950
[SPEAKER_02]: It's it's
01:08:05.851 --> 01:08:16.057
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a, you know, it's not a free promotion all that, but yeah, a two hour and 36 minute long video about the steroid, it just titled the steroid era was stranger than you remember.
01:08:16.477 --> 01:08:21.459
[SPEAKER_02]: Basically covers just like PEDs and just north American sports, even back in like horse racing and all that.
01:08:21.740 --> 01:08:31.705
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's a lot of great things that brought up in there, especially with, you know, regards like Mark McGuire, like the dude is a bodybuilder and steroids, I think baseball was like one of the last sports to like band steroids in general.
01:08:32.165 --> 01:08:37.672
[SPEAKER_02]: So I was just a thing that players did back in the day, so before it was banned, you know, all right, you know, whatever it is, what it is.
01:08:38.733 --> 01:08:48.304
[SPEAKER_02]: But in a daily today, like, you know, if you're getting a pop for steroids and like anywhere from like even 2010 and beyond, I really don't care for you, like, you know.
01:08:49.605 --> 01:09:03.749
[SPEAKER_02]: By like I just don't care so I'm glad the the debugs cover to them even a gym over at the snake pit on the Twitter account I'm gonna find it yet a fun tweet that was I think you say something along the lines of I hope the debugs enjoyed sacrificing some of their morals Let me find the exact one.
01:09:03.769 --> 01:09:11.931
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like I hope the debugs enjoyed sacrificing some of their morals to have a guy that put up like negative point seven wins a buffer placement And it's career.
01:09:11.971 --> 01:09:13.632
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm double checking because it was a it was a
01:09:14.212 --> 01:09:16.413
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and nothing, so he says, and nothing of value is lost.
01:09:16.453 --> 01:09:22.577
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope it was worth the team selling off the moral high ground for that 57 OPS plus and negative 0.7 B-war.
01:09:23.077 --> 01:09:29.400
[SPEAKER_02]: So let me provide nothing to this team and actively hurt them, whether it was on the field or development for some of the young bats.
01:09:29.420 --> 01:09:30.921
[SPEAKER_02]: So thankfully, that era is gone.
01:09:30.941 --> 01:09:39.806
[SPEAKER_02]: And next up, please Lorda Scoreal Jr. because I don't think I want to see him getting a bats who had forward, but diving on
01:09:43.035 --> 01:09:44.976
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, no, it's a different pair.
01:09:45.016 --> 01:09:50.879
[SPEAKER_02]: Who knows, maybe he's just been saving up his hits for when he gets called back up and he's going to go on a heater, which I'd be okay with.
01:09:50.919 --> 01:10:00.885
[SPEAKER_02]: But diving on into the upcoming series here, the D-backs, we're going to head on into Kansas City to take on the Royals that does not look like the D-backs have a set pitching matchup.
01:10:00.925 --> 01:10:04.987
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everything is to be decided, I'm not sure if Alex or anybody else reporting the D-backs has.
01:10:05.347 --> 01:10:24.903
[SPEAKER_02]: confirmed any starters not obviously we know that it's been reported that cornburns will be returning uh this year is against a royal so expect cornburns to take one of those starts but nothing's actually official least on the site yet uh but tomorrow uh for game one's gonna be a walk-a walk-a walk-a uh Michael walk-a on his nine and eight record it's his 336 ERA is gonna be the royal's game one starter
01:10:25.723 --> 01:10:27.344
[SPEAKER_02]: For sorry, that's that's on Tuesday.
01:10:27.364 --> 01:10:43.872
[SPEAKER_02]: So game one is gonna be Cameron He is nine and eight with a four o eight e array Noah Cameron for the royals and we're going into Tuesday Michael walk a walk a walk a walk a With this three three six e array and then when say we got good old I V Lynch the adennial Lynch the fourth actually That's crazy.
01:10:43.912 --> 01:10:45.073
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't see many players with the
01:10:46.174 --> 01:10:46.894
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, the name like that.
01:10:46.914 --> 01:11:06.116
[SPEAKER_02]: So Daniel Lynch the fourth so we're gonna face two lefties on the royal staff here The royal's got some pretty decent pitching everyone their starters is either a just over four or lower ERA so maybe the debacks will actually put up some run because You know when we have a guys with six ERA we get shut out when you have guys look at two or three Are we seem to seem to seem to put up some runs, but
01:11:06.796 --> 01:11:34.786
[SPEAKER_02]: Big Seer is going to Kansas City as this is a great opportunity for the Devax to hopefully expand their lead over the Padres and the Wildcard because we keep mentioning it as serious win I think is a must have but if there's a time to get a serious sweep and hopefully extend that lead over the Padres this is a great time to make that happen because we're going to be running out of time and we still got some tough seers ahead of us so this is a you got to take advantage when you're facing some some lesser teams in the nice way possible
01:11:36.195 --> 01:11:37.655
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Brandon, I'm going to start off with you again.
01:11:37.695 --> 01:11:48.178
[SPEAKER_02]: What are you kind of looking out for in this series coming up for the Royals, maybe some matchups, maybe some hitters and pictures on the Royal side, or just in general, even on the DVAC side, what are you going to be looking out for for this three-gamer Kansas city?
01:11:50.219 --> 01:11:55.180
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, just continue for starting pitching and the bullpen to keep doing their job.
01:11:55.220 --> 01:11:57.801
[SPEAKER_03]: Just being lights out, being dominant.
01:11:57.881 --> 01:12:00.121
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, that's what they've been doing as a blade.
01:12:00.201 --> 01:12:02.342
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, it's been really impressive to watch.
01:12:03.322 --> 01:12:03.522
[SPEAKER_03]: Um.
01:12:04.985 --> 01:12:14.090
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm hoping Geryelle, like, isn't complete dog shit, but I don't know, like he did not look good when he was in the minors.
01:12:14.530 --> 01:12:23.556
[SPEAKER_03]: So that doesn't make me feel great, but maybe he just needed to be with the boys for a couple of days to just kinda get his mind right.
01:12:23.756 --> 01:12:25.237
[SPEAKER_03]: So fingers crossed on that.
01:12:25.877 --> 01:12:26.637
[SPEAKER_03]: Daniel Lynch,
01:12:28.720 --> 01:12:33.667
[SPEAKER_03]: hasn't hit that great since C became a starter at the beginning of August.
01:12:34.408 --> 01:12:36.872
[SPEAKER_03]: So that makes me feel pretty good.
01:12:36.892 --> 01:12:43.701
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't go so I'm wondering if he's more of an opener or a bulk guy.
01:12:44.402 --> 01:12:49.667
[SPEAKER_03]: because he's gone one and two thirds, two and a third, four, four and a third and five.
01:12:50.167 --> 01:12:54.451
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's given up three-iron, three-iron, one-iron, two-iron, two-iron, five-iron.
01:12:54.891 --> 01:12:57.934
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was last outing, he went five-editing's gave up five-iron.
01:12:58.174 --> 01:13:01.196
[SPEAKER_03]: So maybe we can kind of tee off on him.
01:13:03.288 --> 01:13:27.160
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like, if I knew who we were going with with our pictures, that's how to Corbin, I'd feel good about the pitching matchups, so if we don't know who's going Monday or Wednesday, Nelson had a rehab outing with Faisalia or Emma Rilla, when he comes back, he will be coming out of the bullpen, so
01:13:28.715 --> 01:13:31.576
[SPEAKER_03]: He has that fastball for one inning.
01:13:31.976 --> 01:13:35.577
[SPEAKER_03]: He could probably talk out at 99 and be really, really dominant.
01:13:35.697 --> 01:13:41.219
[SPEAKER_03]: So the only person I'm worried about is Bobby Witt because he's Bobby Witt.
01:13:41.539 --> 01:13:47.281
[SPEAKER_03]: So Jack Cagg's is supposedly hurt.
01:13:47.441 --> 01:13:49.742
[SPEAKER_03]: So he might miss this series.
01:13:49.782 --> 01:13:57.085
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he's done on the IL, but they may sit him for a couple of games so that might help us out because he also did get the pass
01:13:58.205 --> 01:13:59.145
[SPEAKER_02]: Like to daily.
01:14:00.125 --> 01:14:01.706
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he hit a homework today, too.
01:14:01.886 --> 01:14:05.407
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, who knows?
01:14:05.847 --> 01:14:08.708
[SPEAKER_03]: What this team, sometimes they play down to their competition.
01:14:08.748 --> 01:14:13.909
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's kind of what my fear is, too, is that they're going to not play well.
01:14:14.089 --> 01:14:15.149
[SPEAKER_03]: But I hope that I'm wrong.
01:14:15.169 --> 01:14:18.270
[SPEAKER_03]: And hopefully we can see offense kind of show up here.
01:14:19.661 --> 01:14:23.023
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I need the offensive to show up as such, because the podgers are going to be playing that nationals.
01:14:23.703 --> 01:14:27.585
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, I mean, the nationals do have some good offense, but their pitching is horrific.
01:14:28.025 --> 01:14:43.654
[SPEAKER_02]: So neither nationals kind of help us out, but the best way to help out is just to help yourself out, and that's what the D-backs need to do here, like you said, take care of business against Daniel Lynch and do your best to know what Bobby would do in your B-2 because I, guys, an absolute superstar needs to be a Kansas City for a long, long time.
01:14:44.414 --> 01:14:53.007
[SPEAKER_02]: But Gabe, what it's kind of, you know, sticking out to you, where some players and matches potentially they're going to be, you know, keeping on the docket and keeping on here for this three-gamer.
01:14:55.178 --> 01:15:07.449
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was looking at their starting pitchers, like the reason why they have a bit of a fake comeback after the break is because both Mike Walker and Cameron both have had great second half to the season.
01:15:07.589 --> 01:15:14.234
[SPEAKER_01]: They're last seven games both to them are about two and a half or even lower ERA since in about seven games.
01:15:14.254 --> 01:15:17.557
[SPEAKER_01]: So kind of back on the hat, both of those guys have looked really, really good.
01:15:17.597 --> 01:15:17.797
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
01:15:18.658 --> 01:15:21.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I'm not expecting them to do a lot against them.
01:15:21.260 --> 01:15:24.402
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully they can tee off a bit on their both pin, which is on the weaker side.
01:15:24.902 --> 01:15:41.151
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it's the bottom 5 in the league, last time I had seen, but that was a well-back, but that's something that, you know, you know, unfortunately, I have to vote for at this point, such as with how bad the offense has been, but I'm hoping Carroll can continue the offense that he shows in the last two games just a lot
01:15:42.612 --> 01:15:45.174
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I believe he had three triple tree doubles.
01:15:45.255 --> 01:15:46.856
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that what he hit something like that?
01:15:46.876 --> 01:15:48.497
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like three doubles in the last two games.
01:15:48.517 --> 01:15:49.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's basically all you did.
01:15:49.698 --> 01:15:57.644
[SPEAKER_01]: He should have had a triple, but bar show rob yeah, but the bar should just absolutely robbery, but I believe he had three triples in the last two games.
01:15:57.664 --> 01:15:59.426
[SPEAKER_01]: So hopefully he's able to show that part again.
01:15:59.846 --> 01:16:03.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Kansas City doesn't have, you know, a 430 foot wall out there.
01:16:03.949 --> 01:16:07.972
[SPEAKER_01]: So, if he gets one to center and that should be a home running Kansas City.
01:16:08.013 --> 01:16:08.213
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
01:16:08.753 --> 01:16:34.220
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully Corbin can continue his turn around, hopefully could tell, couldn't continue hitting the way he is, and I'm just hoping guys like Predomo, Gabby, Snap out of this funk that they've been in, because they continue to put both of them, so that's why I was okay with Predomo bunting yesterday, because the guy isn't hitting too much anyway, so if he's going to bunts, he's one of the best bunters on the team, he's for sure going to move Corbin up, and at that point he can just need the one run to get across.
01:16:35.520 --> 01:16:49.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm just looking to see some guys continue to hit the way they did and hopefully this home run also unlocked there or not again because he has been really, really bad for the last month or so so maybe these guys can finally start to turn things around.
01:16:50.135 --> 01:16:54.676
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not kind of has his own little version of Merrill Kelly where he has a good month, bad month, good month, bad month.
01:16:55.156 --> 01:16:58.977
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we're getting the good month of air not going forward, but like you said about the Roya's bullpen.
01:16:59.517 --> 01:17:03.218
[SPEAKER_02]: They do indeed have one of the worst bullpens in all of Major's baseball as ERA was.
01:17:03.718 --> 01:17:06.719
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, third worst batting average against.
01:17:06.759 --> 01:17:09.220
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe they're also a third worst, the 265.
01:17:09.760 --> 01:17:13.201
[SPEAKER_02]: They have the worst whip in all of baseball relief wise with a 1.51.
01:17:13.341 --> 01:17:17.302
[SPEAKER_02]: And they just, they give up, let's see, home run wise.
01:17:18.382 --> 01:17:26.449
[SPEAKER_02]: Looks like they're fifth most homerun surrendered at 78 just behind the A's, Cubs, Rays and Nationals.
01:17:27.049 --> 01:17:32.894
[SPEAKER_02]: So the Astros got a horrible pen like you said Gabe, I mean, some tough starters with the Waka and Cameron.
01:17:33.274 --> 01:17:34.115
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully they can, you know,
01:17:34.715 --> 01:17:55.516
[SPEAKER_02]: make them work a little bit getting the bullpen early and then be able to hopefully put the game away because that's the area you really want to attack the royals is in that pen once they come in because it does not seem like they're holding too many games down for the rest of that offense but yes, I'm going to be a fun one hopefully Corbin you know can continue hitting the way as being dropped down to the fifth spot on the lineup definitely seem to help the last two games
01:17:56.976 --> 01:18:02.138
[SPEAKER_02]: Even on the broadcast, I've been talking about how it's not like teams are getting him to chase on like sweepers and stuff.
01:18:02.458 --> 01:18:05.779
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just throwing at fastballs right by him and he's not been able to do much.
01:18:06.260 --> 01:18:07.380
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been popping up a lot.
01:18:07.420 --> 01:18:12.582
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully this is going to be the turn that we can see him, you know, kind of heat up a little bit in the last couple weeks.
01:18:12.602 --> 01:18:16.883
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to need that bat like Brandon even mentioned in the last show that this offense goes when Corbin goes.
01:18:17.203 --> 01:18:18.764
[SPEAKER_02]: And we kind of saw a little bit here in this one.
01:18:19.204 --> 01:18:21.905
[SPEAKER_02]: Justin, the debats do not have a scheduled pitcher.
01:18:22.865 --> 01:18:39.589
[SPEAKER_02]: For the series starting tomorrow, it's all to be decided so I imagine we'll know more either tomorrow or I'd imagine one of the debug reporters whether it's Alex, Jack, Jess here and all that Can can put out the tweet confirming what starter is going to be Yes, I think it's a pen game to get ready for burns.
01:18:39.609 --> 01:18:42.909
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so it would not be surprised all if it's a pen game It just sucks to even use a lot.
01:18:42.949 --> 01:18:45.950
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, maybe pen game whatever it is at least we have to pull pen for it.
01:18:46.510 --> 01:18:49.431
[SPEAKER_01]: I Like I don't I would imagine no because burns.
01:18:49.731 --> 01:18:50.311
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe it's on so
01:18:50.591 --> 01:18:52.413
[SPEAKER_03]: They're going to need the pen for burn.
01:18:52.433 --> 01:18:54.274
[SPEAKER_01]: If burn is only to go all reach-wing.
01:18:54.454 --> 01:18:59.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's always going to be able to go three, so they're going to need them to pat up about six.
01:18:59.859 --> 01:19:02.081
[SPEAKER_01]: So this game's so... Is that gallon?
01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:06.042
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to be a little bit of a idea.
01:19:06.142 --> 01:19:06.682
[SPEAKER_03]: I will do one.
01:19:06.783 --> 01:19:09.345
[SPEAKER_03]: So Rokam, I think so Rokam is more like a thing.
01:19:09.445 --> 01:19:13.409
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Rokam still has still has like a week before we can put it on.
01:19:13.429 --> 01:19:14.751
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like mid September before I can come back.
01:19:14.791 --> 01:19:17.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, okay, and yes, Rokam should be available soon.
01:19:17.854 --> 01:19:27.043
[SPEAKER_01]: Right Nelson storing 99, so if we get him the last week, put him in the bullpen just in the meantime, so you can wrap up some of his his workload.
01:19:28.375 --> 01:19:48.410
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I definitely am going to be an interesting way to see how they approach the rotation going forward here with some guys potentially coming back in all that the next week or two whether it's burn, cirroca, gallon, all that but either way I can at least say the XX to tell when you need them funny enough calling up before the show I actually asked the the jense here because I was looking on a baseball savant
01:19:49.090 --> 01:20:08.944
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've filtered by the the the run value for the d-backs on basically like what pitches like the best pitch runs values wise And what are our regas as the best with this forseamer Kevin Dinkle is a second best with the slider and Zachletell has the worst pitch run value wise a guy that was with this team for well we can have maybe
01:20:09.804 --> 01:20:27.573
[SPEAKER_02]: His foreseen fastball had a negative 15 run do you so I would rather have I'd rather see Brandon gave myself take the bump in a bullpen game over Zachletel ever like at this point I feel like we can't be any worse than what he was so No, we need Zachletel.
01:20:27.593 --> 01:20:30.295
[SPEAKER_02]: There's not a sentence anyone's gonna ever be saying anymore going forward, but
01:20:31.135 --> 01:20:54.487
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely a series in general that I guess said yeah got to take advantage The rules are still you know in the fight in the American league, but anybody with the polls in the American league is still within you know Striking distance of a playoffs, but so they still got some to play for but this is a this is a series of you actually need to assert their dominance And take take advantage of a weaker part of the schedule before we got some some tougher games coming up because I do believe that
01:20:56.349 --> 01:20:59.951
[SPEAKER_02]: The subcoming weekend, we got the Rangers, and then I think we got the Yankees next Holland.
01:21:00.711 --> 01:21:01.012
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
01:21:01.072 --> 01:21:04.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Rangers, it's Rangers, Marlins, and then Yankees.
01:21:04.174 --> 01:21:05.575
[SPEAKER_02]: And Marlins always give us some fits.
01:21:06.055 --> 01:21:08.116
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's a series that could be a trap series.
01:21:08.136 --> 01:21:10.738
[SPEAKER_02]: The Rangers, obviously, we're able to take two or three from them in Texas.
01:21:11.299 --> 01:21:12.639
[SPEAKER_02]: But they are still technically in the race.
01:21:12.659 --> 01:21:16.422
[SPEAKER_02]: So these teams that we're facing, they're not just going to lay down and die for us.
01:21:16.442 --> 01:21:23.387
[SPEAKER_02]: So we really got to take advantage of us getting some weaker teams before we get the Yankees and the Podras here in the last week and half.
01:21:24.247 --> 01:21:32.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, any other final thoughts in general gentlemen, whether it's around the the D backs, uh, you know, thoughts about the D backs may be minor league moves or just in general anything else you wanted to highlight.
01:21:35.232 --> 01:21:35.532
