Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball live from Amfam in Milwaukee. We're going to recap the weekend that was in Major League Baseball. Let's do it. Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball, brought to you by Draft Kings. Thank you very much for joining us today. We are coming to you live from TV booth, radio booth. What are we in? It's a booth.

It's a booth at American Family Stadium. You know it formerly as Miller Park. Trevor, to my left. Jake, to my far left. BPD up top. Are you able to put yourself on screen? Yeah, I'm on. BPD in the corner,

talking some baseball at a baseball stadium. The first time we've ever done this, a live show. Yes, it is. How's everyone feeling? Jake, how are you? James, Trevor, Big Baby David. Producer extraordinaire, Rob Chiracroko in the room. Graphics got Blake floating around.

I'm good, man, I'm good. Like you said, we're live from. Amfam field. If the people live with us on the tube can probably see a lot of the pitchers are getting they're working on the off day because the brewers are kind of built different right now, kind of like us. Are they really? Shout out to the brewers.

They are the best. Looks like they're playing football. Okay. Well, Jim, don't give away their workout strategy. Shout out to the brewers. They have hooked us up the past couple days. I'm sure all of you have been following between some slide stuff today, some sausage race. Bobby Portis

hanging out with us yesterday. That was pretty cool. So shout out to the Brewers letting us record here. And man, I'm excited to kind of catch up on the weekend of games because we've got... There's some big ones.

Some big series are happening. The NL Wild Card is on. Official official. And my yanks are hot. Trevor Plouf, how are you? Most importantly. Yeah. I'm doing great.

You know, it's nice to be with you guys. I'm usually just by myself staring at a computer. Now I've got my guys here. Now we're just reclining. And, you know, we've, whenever we get together like this, there's a little bit different energy. And we're just, you know.

Tension. Jake's built different. I'm kind of built extreme. Whatever you want to say. But I'm excited to talk some baseball. James. James. I think we should just address it right away. Let's talk about the sausage race.

Yeah. Well, you know, some people are saying is the best 10 steps. in the entire race. You did get a, you were flying from our friend Mikey. And Yelly. Did you say that, though? Not those words, but he was like, you were going. You were going.

There was a 10-step. 1,000% gap, because Trev cheated, so we had to catch up with him. And then I was trying to cut Jake off on the inside. Pop the hamstring. You felt it, like a grab or like a... No, not at a grab. A pop. Like that.

Explosions. Explosion. I told you, I felt it from my knee to my upper hip. That's a good, you have a good size tear then. Like you have a, you don't have like a little,

you have like a tear. Yeah. Well, it was really hurt. And then that's why I, I was going to do a breakdown on it in a slow mo, but you can see, I brace myself for that far.

Basically hockey check the ground. I've got up, Yelly was just staring at me. Yeah, you were in front of him. And then Corbin Burns was just like, wave and yawn. And then people,

This is the narrative I'm getting upset about. People are saying that they helped me off the field. Right. And they were not. They were running alongside me saying, get off. Go, you have to go. You have to go. You have to go.

I can't run. I can't run. They were pretty specifically not helping you. No. I was like, if they were to say, do you need a cart? I would have said, yes. Yes. Yes, please.

Yeah. And last night I couldn't walk at all. That was bad. Today's better. It's more, like you said, it's more just where it is. Yeah. But last night it was from my hip to my knee.

So good footage. Good footage. Good content. That's what we're in the game. A bummer that my left side is sore and then my right side is banged up because I fell on it. I can see your hand right here. Yeah. No, I mean the whole, I got like dirt scrapes from here.

My, look at that one. Nice. I mean, that's all right. But yeah. So like that. That's what it felt like. Oh, my gosh. When you're in the suit, you're alone.

Yeah. Like, you can barely talk to anybody. So you're, you were crying for help. Yeah. Nobody's going to hear you in the suit. Well, they were too busy yelling. You have to keep running. You have to keep running.

Because there was a little kid waiting for me to tag him. Yeah. So, like, I was on his time. I was ruining this little kid. Your kid took off. Yeah, hot dog technically won the race. Your kid wasn't waiting for you. Well, another kid was.

Trev's kid was. Oh, because Trevor never tagged his kid, which was the whole objective of the race. Yeah. And Treve also. cheated. Cheated and lost. Some will say it was just a great jump off the blocks.

And I haven't said this yet. Should I save it for the breakdown of what happened to me when you fell? Sure. You took my shoe off. Got spiked. Yeah. You took my shoe off. Got spiked.

That's racing. That's racing. That's like, to be fair. To be fair. I didn't know that happened to you. Yeah, you did. It's whatever.

Because it was like 10 feet up in the costume. Let's not give way too much. I will say this. The lady who helped us put the costumes on said I was an A plus at getting in the costume. And then when I took the costume off, Brad said he'd never seen that strategy before and it's actually pretty good. So, well, getting in and out of a sausage costume, beautiful job by me. I got that. Okay.

Yeah. BBD, you got an F on getting into the costume. F on getting into the costumes. No, I got, well, I got mostly in just fine. Then she directed me to the wrong hole the first time. She directed me to the right hole. What are we talking about here? Maybe that's cool.

Clean it up. Getting out, I was really bad at getting out. So that's why I just put it on in the state. I'm excited. This episode of talking baseball is brought to you by a bunch of new patrons. John Matea. Oh, here we go, baby. Nikai Zaliyaki Siali Siaco.

Wow, I think he kind of crushed that. What is that name? Hey. What is it? What's the ethnicity of that name? That's what I'm wondering. The last name seems Italian. The middle name seems.

It could be anything. Anything. I don't know. yeah. Mike. That's an easy one. Mike's good. Shane Dickinson.

How would you say that? Jai, Jair, Alexander O'Gilvie, Ogilvy, Ogilvy? Ogilvy. Oh, good. I like Ogilvy, yeah. And then the clutch, Canuck. Thanks, guys. Thank you very much for the support.

We appreciate it. Very much. All right. Jake. You have the NL, correct? I do. Are you excited about it? I'm very excited, boys.

I haven't done a really. Recap up in a week. You know I love Monday episodes. I know. Do not start us off on the wrong foot. Treff. You know, God gave me very few gifts, but this is one of them. You know?

You know? Here we go. Here we go. Soundboard made it. My boy Jake. Here we go. Oh, should I go? I'll start it over because it feels like we got to start.

It felt like a pump fake. There we go. There we go. There we go. Go, Jake. In the National League, your Cincinnati Reds and Wild Card Reds. Sweep the Miami Marlins. How's your starting pitchers?

The Reds four games, a 1-4-ERA. Castillo, Gray, Miley, Gutierrez. I don't want to run into those guys right now. They beat up on the fish. Tyler Naquint, man. Have a season, kid. Good for you. The Reds jump into the.

wild card spot Castellanos with a big two-run homer in the first inning and a go-ahead rbi in the six inning of game three mcgie rojas hey five hits chris rose rotation we love that lorenzen three point two shuddy man got a save how about him we haven't talked about him in a minute reds go reds go the john boy media reds people are talking speaking of trevor ploose phillies They take two out of three from the Padres. Oh, Padres. Oh, no, baby, what is you doing? They are in a slide right now.

They take the middle game in 10 innings. But Gibby drops it in the third game. How's your eight innings pitch? One earn run. And Riser, friend of the pod, BBD's infield. Two homers in his return from the aisle. That feels good for the Phillies. They got to keep winning.

They're starting pitching did really good this. series. Nola, more. Man, Padres, Darvish, expect to return against the Dodgers coming up. Paddock's going to throw, man, they got to stop the bleeding. Crone Zone did his thing, and that's obvious. Speaking to do your thing, the Dodgers toy with the Metropolitan's, they take three out of four. How's your Corey Kniebel opener?

Former Brewer's great while we're here. Bueller, yep, Scherzer, uh-huh. The Mets salvaged the series on the last day as Stro Show continues to do his thing. How's your 88 mile per hour split change? Love that. But the Dodgers, man, they're going. Trey Turner. Oops, snagged him.

I love that. Plug him in the lineup. Get your seven hits. Homer double. Pete Alonzo, he had two homers. He is fighting. He talked. He's trying to walk.

He needs a little help. Walker Bueller, man. I mean, Cy Bueller. We got to start talking about that a little more. Lindor could return soon. DeGrom goes to the 60 IL. Hey. Bad times for Mets fans.

They're still in their West Coast funk. The Milwaukee Brewers, we are there. People are giving us credit for their series win over the Nats. They lose game one, four to one. But then they bounce back, 9-6, and then yesterday, domination, 7-3, sausage race. People are talking about it. Good for Corbyn and game one for the Nats, the Southpaw figuring out.

Colton Wong, man. Watch that guy live. You're going to like what you see. And then the Houser Ashby piggyback. That'll do something for you. And then Eduardo Escobar, we're hanging out with him on the on-deck circle. He gets a case of the John boys. They're both getting MRIs.

We're going to see what happens. Brewer's role, because that's what the Brewers do. Yelly could hear about him later. Friend, he heard about him earlier, too. This one is the one. sad one from the National League. Cardinals lose two out of three from the Pirates. He can't afford that this time of year.

The Padres came back. Your Reds are doing it. Cardinals. They lose the first two, 4.054, and then Wayno goes game three, and that's obvious. So he shuts them down, three-nothing Cardinals. Cardinals, and they outhit the Pirates. This had to be so frustrating for Cardinals fans. They're starting pitcher shoved a 095 ERA for the cards.

God, Susu Sugo, he gets it done for the Pirates. Goldschmidt has a good series for St. Louis, but man, it's not enough Cardinals. You had to have this. And then we'll go to Colorful Colorado. My Rockies, take two out of three from my snakes. Don't play the Rockies and Coors. You don't want that smoke. Big offense on both sides.

Garrett Hampson, my short king. And, dude, go check out. Catele-Marté season when you get a chance. Rockies take two out of three, and that's what happened in the National League. I mean, on time in the stadium, that's just doodoo-d-d-do-do-do-do. That was impressive, man, and you know what? I learned some stuff.

You did? What did you learn? What's the first thing that you learned, Trevor? That's huge. I love when people learn. What's the first thing you learned? I learned that the Padres didn't do what they needed to do. Yeah.

And the Phillies did what they needed to do. What a series, what a performance by the Phillies starters, Gibby. Has anybody taken him later? Or should we talk about now? I got them. I got them. Okay. Then I got a table of the discussion.

My boy went off. Tabled. Two out of three, Phillies. And they came from where? And they just got beat up on before that. Where were they? They lost to the snakes, right? My snakes bullied them.

They got swept by the snakes. I thought it was the home Rockies. I think it was my snakes, baby The Padres lost to the Home Rockies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Well, can we talk about, I feel odd saying this

since we're at an NL Central stadium and I love the brew crew. Right. What's up? We talk about my Reds a little bit? Okay. It's dirty, but yes. They're coming in here

for a nice series coming up. Me and Yeller were talking about it yesterday, but whoops. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You know, whatever. We had a nice conversation.

He was honest about it. He was like, well, we got to win one. Anyway, Reds, they are the second wild card. If we were to do the stimulator simulator, the Padres would not be involved. The Reds are a game up. Man, they sweep. Four game sweep, right?

Four games sweep. This is what we always say. Sweeper be swept at this time. Man. They swept. It's the Marlins. I mean, you win three out of four. That's good.

But the Marlins are one of those teams that you got to get fat. And they got incredibly fat. And the Padres, credit to the Padres because it should have been worse, they had a comeback. They were one strike away from losing game two. And Crohn's Zone, who's a fan of the show, who gets to Nola. I wonder how Phillies fans feel about that. Should they have pulled them or was the best bet? Going for the complete game.

But, you know, the Padres only be in one game out. It's a little bit of nice because they should have lost that game, too. Man, the Reds would be too up, Trev. I think they're disappointed either way right now. The way they're playing ball is just not getting it done. And to have that sort of lead. It's very similar to the Red Sox, what's going on. Fall from Grace, if you will.

It's tough to see. I don't like it. I like the Padres. I like the idea of the Padres in the playoffs. They're such a fun team to watch. San Diego's been rocking all year. They deserve to be there. But you can't...

I mean, look, we have plenty of games left. plenty of baseball left. They're not dead, but they got to wake up. How about that? They're sleeping. Fives check, man. You hope Darvish can come back and that can change something. And by the way, he can.

I mean, when Darvish is right, he's one of the best pitchers in baseball. Tatis, Crohn's Zone. Keep doing it. Man, you just got to stop the bleeding at some point. Like, you've got to win a series, win another series, and then we're back. Who are they got coming up? Who are they got coming up? Who?

Padres. Los Padres. Padres. on their schedule coming up is. Oh, I just saw. It's not good. Well, they got a tough schedule the rest of the way. They got four against the Dodgers right now.

Hello. Who are the Reds have coming up? Los Reds. By the way, we're not scheduled shamers. We're schedule appreciators. And the Reds, they played with the Marlins. They took four. Good.

That's what you're supposed to do. I think we go right to the Mets. They're on the road trip from hell. It's still hellish. Man, they're still there. But, dude, at least Mets fans still get to watch baseball. Yeah, that's true. What does that mean?

That's true. I don't know. That's the golden question. Like what? Just be happy to watch it. Just be happy to watch it. In his defense, he has been raking. But to his defense, or his offense,

Mets fans weren't struggling, talking about just him. The team's on a death spin. They're on a death spin. They're dead. They're seven games out. They are dead. There's no wildcards. spot for them and they're seven games out and they still have three against the giants.

Then their schedule does get nice. They get the Nats. They get Miami. They get the Nats. But they need a 10 gamer at this point. No, they're dead. We are, I'll say this, they're dying. Hot take.

We are at the point where we have seen teams reel off the nine game, the 10 games. We've seen the Braves get hot. We've seen the Yankees get hot. We've seen Los Reds get hot. So Mets, you got to come out on the other side and try to make it a discussion again. But, man, it's brutal, and they've got to be not kicking themselves. Because it's one of the brutes. I mean, the Dodgers in San Francisco have been the class of baseball this year.

But so many of these have been close games. I mean, we've got what, one, two, three, four, five. Against the Dodgers they were. Five one-run losses in their last 70. games? I mean, that's devastating. So, hey, Shea Station. And look, yeah, these guys, they're playing decent baseball. And I know people hate when players will say that. Like, we're playing good ball and you're not getting the results and it sucks. I think that's kind of what Pete was going with all that. Like, we're doing it. It's just

we're not getting the results. And that is just baseball. There's fun jokes at this point. I don't really hate. No, I know. I know. I'm just saying. I hate, I hated what he said. I said that from the get-go, but... Well, but... He was genuine in the way he said it. Yeah, he's Pete. Because he's Pete. Yeah.

He's probably the only one of the few players I can say that, and you make fun of it, but you're not, like, aggravated. I'm not sure a Matt's fan. They can do whatever they want. And you know what? They're going back home to play the Giants. Three games set, and that's when they get into the easy teams. I think they're at the Giants.

Or are they going home for the Giants? They're going home for the Giants. So off-day reset, you're home for the Giants. you're home for the Giants. If they can win the Giants series, get the good juju going, kill the Nats, kill Miami,

kill the Nats. Death Pod. Killing Nats with a G? We support that. Yeah, I don't like Nats. Let's be honest. I'm talking about GNAT, not Nationals.

I like people from the country and stuff like that. Nationals, Brewers? Brewers are gross. Brewers are gross. Yelly, don't want to go too much into him because he is going to be talked about later. We almost came.

to the game on Saturday. Yeah. We got in. It was the eighth inning. It was still tied. We decided not to do it, but they win that game on, you know, on. I don't know. I don't know who was.

The Nats made some silly mistakes. Wong tags up from third on a ball to 10 feet away from home plate. And then the Nats threw some around yesterday where we were at the game. They took the tarp off pregame when we were walking around. Yeah. And they said the Nats were going to take infield practice and base run. And it fell and then someone said, what is the spring training? And it's like, well, kind of is spring training for the Nets for next year.

They're just preparing for next year at this point. They ended up not doing the base running and the running. I wonder what happened. Because they're sloppy, it was a threat. It was like, hey, you guys play sloppy again. We're doing this. It could be anything. You know, when you have the day games like this, obviously you typically don't take BP,

but there are organizations that like to get out on the field. The A's always did that. The entire infield would go off to take ground balls. Maybe they were just throwing it around like, hey, maybe we'll do it, and then they decided not to. It could just be that, but you're right. This is a new nationals team. I mean, I was looking up at the scoreboard yesterday.

I didn't recognize a ton of the names. Some good performances, though. I'll see it. He's Escobar. I recognize that name, that's for sure. You and him. Been around for quite some time. He's stolen some hits from me before.

I've got a question. Can we give a couple people friend of the pod honors? Because we had, there's two guys that jump out. That you just want to let our audience know, hey, these guys were awesome to us. Routy to less. Yeah, right? Absolutely. If we invited him, he would be up here with us.

No, he just came out to yuck it up with us. He was awesome. Corbyn Burns. We chilled with Corbyn for a while. Yeah. Very nice guy. Who, by the way, one of the DBS pitchers in baseball this year, and everyone we came across.

I mean, Willie during the game yesterday, Adamas, he was the man, dapped us up. Everyone we came across yesterday. Well, Yelly, obviously, as well. Yeah, Yelly's been a friend of the pot. Who's their bullpen catcher? He's a fan and friend of the pod. Yeah.

Is it Marcus? No, no, that's their old one. They got a new one this year. Stud. And then we got some about Murph, the bench coach, right? Is that what he is? Bench coach? Maybe he has some fancy new name, but he's a bench coach.

He's a superhero. There it is. Adam Weisenberger. He introduced himself, but I forgot his name. But he came up. Nice guy. He was like a big time fan. He was like, he loved the back alley at bats.

He loved that. Jake goes to reliever. Like, he was dropping some knowledge. I love that. He's in deep. He's in deep. So shout out to him as well. But everyone's been awesome here.

Brewer's take care of business. And yesterday, Lorenzo, came with a freaking moon shot. The place went nuts, too. He's fun to watch. And you know what's fun? If you're a team that's playing the Brewers or you're just flipping around the channel checking out players, this guy wasn't on my radar, I'm sure he's on Brewers fans' radar

and people that love prospects, Aaron Ashby. We're talking to a lot of people in the Brewers organization that were like, we love this guy. He's going to be just as good as the rest of our crew. That's scary. And then we saw him come in, a lefty that throws 98 bowling ball two seamers and then a slider from hell. A really good tight slider.

It looks like a, it looks like it's in fast motion. Like it looks like it's in like fast forward a little bit. Like that's the sound it would have. That'd be spinning. I don't know what the spin rate on it is. It looks like it's a lot. Yeah, no, he was gross. So if you,

if you tune into a Brewers game and you see a guy on the bump called Ashby, they're using them in small doses right now. But he might, I mean, if he pitches well, he might be seeing him as part of that middle. Oh, yeah. I think so. Burrers are going to be in the, the playoffs. We always see young guys who have the talent get the nod in that stage because you

go with talent at that point. Brewers are stacked. Speaking of stacked, I want to talk about my pirates real quick. Interesting. Didn't think this was going to happen. What kind of segue? I just want to tell you, since the All-Star break, teams that are competing or wanting to compete for the playoffs that the Pirates have beaten series, Mets, first series after the All-Star break. There was still the first place. I believe. They beat the Giants in a series. Yummy.

They beat the Phillies in a series. They beat, or no, the Reds got them. They beat the Cardinals. The Brewers have beat up on the Pirates. Good for them. And they beat the Cardinals. So, hey, there's only been so many series since the All-Star break.

Where were you going with that? The Pirates have been playing a decent brand of baseball, and they've been spoiling a lot of teams' episodes. Okay. So A, good for the Pirates. Cardinals. I think, can you take yours an inch away? Yeah.

Can you move yours an inch just around? Okay. The Pirates was popping in my ear a lot. Good. Oh, wow. People like that, Pirates. Well, the Pirates, much like the Nationals, when we were talking to a bunch of the players on the brew crew,

especially some pitchers, they're saying it's hard to face these guys because a bunch of young, hungry guys, and you don't have a scouting report on this. Yes. I think that was Brett Anderson who was talking us about that. It's like, I don't know. Whoops.

All right, let's do the AL. You ready, Treve? I am ready. The American League recap is brought to you by the National Baseball Hall of Fame's New YouTube show, Hall of Fame Connections. 13 episode YouTube series with new episodes dropping every Wednesday.

Follow the Baseball Hall of Social Media channels at Baseball Hall on Facebook, Twitter,

and Instagram. Check it out. Tell us what happened in the American League, please. All right, guys. We talked about the White Sox leading to beat good teams. They did not do that. Rays take two out of three. White Sox won game one, seven to five, all because of Tim Anderson,

ties the game in the ninth, then gets the go-ahead single in the 11th. They win that one, 7-5. Rays came back to win the series. Eight, four, game two, nine, zero. Ray's in the game three Ray's starting pitchers 3 4, 6

Pretty good Jake the bullpen though because that's what they're known for Those up a 1-6-9er To get the job done Franco, Margot, Choi Low all record multiple extra base hits

And eight rays Recorded multiple hits in the series Shout out to Chris Archer He came back Two shutout endings with 4Ks But then had to leave the game With hip-tops

Tightness. A friend of the pod Call him McHugh and Josh Fleming record their first career saves in games two and three, so congrats to them. Tim Anderson does sit out games two and three. We'll see what that's about. Nelson Cruz placed on the COVID related IL. Rays take two out of

three. Twins at Yankees. Yankees do it. Supposed to be a four game set. They take three from the twins after game four is postponed. Seven, five Yankees, 10, two, Yankees, seven, one, Yankees. What are we supposed to say? The Yankees, own the twins and it ain't stopping anytime soon. My guy Luke Voight had seven hits with four extra

bases. Eight ribbies in the series. I talked about him last night on talking Yanks. Only three twins record multiple hits. Polanco has the most with four, including a Homer and a double. Nestor does this thing. No twins starting pitcher pitches into the six and that's been a problem in Minnesota for quite some time. Our boy squid snaps for squid hits his first career homer in game three with his parents in attendance twins lose three to the yanks moving on mariners at astros astros a astros needed it they take two out of three and they do it in dominating fashion 12 three astros in game one 15 one astros in game two and the mariners salvaged game three in 11 innings the astros hit the absolute crap out of the ball and they pitched well to

yorda alvarez three homers altuviva eight hits with three extra base hits Gurriel six hits. Taylor Jones five hits. I mean they were just crushing the ball. Cucce and Gilbert each give up seven earned runs in game one and two. Astros take two out of three. Seeger had the three run Homer in the 11th inning to avoid the sweep. Good for them. Mariners hanging on. Let's go. Rangers at Red Sox the series has split so far. Game three is postponed to tonight six nothing Red Sox then 10 one Rangers in game two. Bogart's three hits with a homer 8 of the Red Sox 9 hitters with 4 plus paid

plate appearances have recorded an extra base hit They're doing it with the extra base hit Sale goes five shutout endings for the win in game one And his recorded wins in both of the start so far We had an MLB debut in game two Rich Rangers pitcher Nick Snyder Pitches the ninth and sets

Sets Schwabre Martinez and Verdugo down 1, 2, 3 So congrats to Nick Snyder On the debut there Series split, Rangers, Red Sox. Moving on, Tigers at Blue Jays. Tigers take two out of three.

They've been playing good ball. 4-1 Tigers in extras. 3-0 Blue Jays, then the Tigers also win in extras in game 3. 5 to 3. The offense has struggled mightily, which means the pitchers did well. Simeon 4 hits in a home run. That fuck Gritchett.

Two extra base hits with the homer, and Vladdy hits 36. That's pretty good. Robbie Ray, our guy, eight innings pitch, one earned run. Ryu, seven shut outings, and Matt's six innings pitched with one earned run. The race are the

Jay's pitched. That's what I'm talking about. Das Cameron, go ahead, RBI double in the 11th of game three. Akeel Badu placed on the 10-day I-L. That's never good. Springer did hit in the batting cage though, Jake. Hell yeah. Let's go.

On the field on Sunday, Maryweather suffers a setback following his rebound and that's not good. Indians sweep the angels because that's obvious. 9-1 Indians, 5-1 Indians, then 3-0-0. Indians.

The Indians, really hit the ball. They pitched well to Rosario. Our guy, eight hits with three extra base hits and two home runs. Ramirez, four hits with three extra base hits and two home runs. All he does is hit. It's incredible. No Angels pitchers pitches into the fifth inning. Not good. And then lastly, Trout.

He worked out prior to Friday's game. It's feeling good. He's never once thought about being shut down for the season. Indians sweep the Angels. And that is the AO. It's a lie. What? That was a lie about what Trout said. Oh, okay. Never was thought about it.

As soon as you say it, you thought about it. As soon as you say that sentence means, you thought about it. Yeah, but you can't talk about Mike Trow like that. Well, I'm just, I like my Trow. I'm just saying in that moment, he lied. You know, you win. I get that. Yeah.

It's all right, though. It's all good. No, what is you doing babies today? I was a little disappointed than that. I could have done it to maybe the Js, but the Tiger's been playing good boys. Yeah, but the tigers aren't in a hunt like the Jays are. I think the Mariners jumped the Jays in the sense.

It would have applied. I still can't give it. Game and a half. The Mariners are a game and a half up on the Blue Jays. Seattle's three games out in the wild card. Is it a bad time to be a sexy team? The Blue Jays and the Padres. Those are kind of two of the sexiest teams around baseball.

The young boys, hot. Didn't they team up on like promotions? I think you're right. They all start. They were like sister cities. Yeah. Or twin cities, whatever you want to call it.

Sure. They were like, you vote for us, we vote, let's combine our fan bases. Yeah, so that's upsetting. That's what you get.

Don't team up, be your own man, you know? I think every team does that. But, uh, look, I don't know if they ever were like serious, serious contenders. They traded at the deadline.

I mean, they, they got burrios. I know, but was there ever a point where like, this is, I feel really, really good about the Blue Js.

Yes. I mean, a month ago, they were in the thick of it. I don't think I ever felt that way. And maybe that's my fault. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but, like, they never came across as, that's a team I got to look out for. When the Red Sox, when the Red Sox were going down,

and it was the Yankees and the Blue Jays and the Rays, all were like 15 and 2 in their last 17. They had a real hot stretch or something like that. And know what part of that was? George Springer was back, and then he got hurt again. Look at the run differential. I'm looking at it right now on your laptop, Jake. plus 116.

I mean, that's got to be close to tops in the league. That's real. That's very real. And yeah, I think tying that back is that, you know, before the Yankees got hot,

the Blue Jays and Yankees were on similar pedestals and the Blue Jays had Springer coming back. They got Barrios. Like, I mean, the Yankees made their deadline moves, but, you know,

their whole ship has gone to a very special place. Let's go Yanks, as far as the standings go. The Yankees are four and a half behind the raise now, which I think is as close as they've ever been. I asked for a game a week. Okay.

So we got half a game this series. Yeah. Which, okay. I'm fine with that. They get another half game in the next series, and then that's a game a week. And let's, let's be honest.

The ALE East is the story right now. The Yankees crush the twins, the same talking baseball episode for the past 20 years. That's not fair. It's fair. Four and a half games back of the raise, like Jim's saying, and by the way,

the Rays keep rolling. Best record in the American League by a lot. They have a couple more Orioles games on their schedule coming up. By the way, the birds are on an 18-game loser right now. That's a tough one. Jesus. Toughy-y-go-Swiss right there.

It's a great baseball city. They haven't won a game since the cat, I don't think. Yeah. It's bad, man. Oh, and yeah, cats are good look, huh? So, yeah, man, I don't know. In Boston, hold on to. your draws today as you go for a deciding game against the Texas Rangers because you lose that

one, people are going to start getting really loud. They're already loud and not happy in Boston. Well, I put Boston in my rear view. They're in your rear view. They're still in the wild card. They are tied with Oakland. Both teams are 70 and 55 as a today. What's the record? What's Boston's record right now? Oakland. 70 and 55. They probably finish 75 and whatever. Oh, 90? I mean, come on, man. How many games we got out? That's 125 games. so far. BPD, give me the math on that. Okay.

Over under, Red Sox only win five more games. I'll take the over. 37 if it's one, are you taking the over too? You're right. Treves going to take the under. Treb's going to under.

We took the over. Five more wins for the Red Sox rest of the way. Jake and I are on the over. Oh my God. We're going over. Let's not talk about that team. I think it's an easy over. I think it should have been set way higher.

Red Sox five and five in their last ten. Feels like the sky is still falling. Oakland A is three and seven. their last. Well, that's when you said the stories they all the east. Yeah, I think the West is pretty much there because not only is Oakland coming up on the Astros, who are still playing good ball, but they got a chance. They have been having chances to get so fat and not taking it so far.

But also, Oakland and the wild card, they were the number one for a long time. They were, like, solidly in there. Now they're tied for the two. The realization amongst Oakland fans that they might not even get away. wild card game, I think has to be creeping in. And I don't think it was three weeks ago even there. It's fair. So I think what's going on in Oakland is a huge story. And I also want to talk about the White Sox lose to the raise. And at what point do we get really nervous about the White Sox ability to beat good teams? We're already talking about it. But like, we're actually, you know,

talking about it. Chicago White Sox are 27 and 31 against teams greater than 500. How about the Seattle Mariners, 35 and 35, Toronto, 40 and 39. I mean, it's a scary number. I just think Chicago... There's too much talent on that team. There's so much talent, and we... Their seasons dictated by the postseason. What's going on with Anderson?

They could be droopy the rest of the way, but if they turn it on in Kimbril and Hendricks and Lance Lynn and that lineup is rolling in the playoffs, nobody's going to care. If they come up short, A.L. Central has to have a conversation with themselves and be like, we got to beef up, boys. The A.L. Central is like what, like, and I hate saying this because I'm a USC guy. It's like Pact 12 football. Ooh, I kind of like that. You know what I'm saying? Like a lot of benefit of the doubt, they get, you know, get high in the rankings and then can't do it.

But, you know, look, the White Sox, we always talk about tightening up in the postseason. When you consolidate and get their top talent, it's better than any other team. Okay. And all of the big leagues. Can you answer a question for all White Sox fans? Sure. Anderson's been missing games. He's sat the last two. The quotes are that he's got sore legs.

His legs are barking. Larusa said he's not hurt. He's just sore. As a former baseball player, can you translate this to what does this actually mean? What do you think's actually going on? Well, I think the next few days are telling. If he's out a couple more days,

then he might have felt some soft tissue stuff. But there is a chance where he's like, And the back of my knees are sore, and we have this lead, and, like, let's get me some, let's give me some fresh legs. Okay. But you think if he misses a little, maybe it's a slight grab or pull that, hey, I don't need the full 10 days, but I need five. And I don't know if this happened, but in my experience, like, there are times where you feel. Brought it from Anderson just to general. There are some times where you feel something, you know, it just feels tight.

And you didn't have what you had yesterday, something where you feel the grab. or the pop, but you feel tight and it's deep in there. Just relax. You know, you don't know. You say, maybe I need a break. Maybe it'll loosen up. If it doesn't loosen up,

then you go get the MRI and maybe they'll find something. I hope that's not the case. We need TA on the field. I love watching the White Sox play. He's a big part of the reason why. So hopefully he's okay. Okay. Hopefully.

I agree with you about the White Sox best of the best, like their playoff lineups. bullpen and starting is really good in the A.L. That's one of the best of the best. But, you know, you'd like them to beat good teams. Yeah, 100%. And that's why I like the Astros. Like, when I think about the playoffs and getting teams in,

like, they're just, they're just ready. Yeah. Like, you won't bet against the Astros in any series. It'd be a dumb bet. They've been there. Dodgers, I feel the same way about the Dodgers. They're just so much experience in the postseason. That's a, that is a, that, that,

sets them apart in my eyes. It's funny. The aster's are good against good teams, but they're not good against bad teams. They're only four games over 500. That's interesting. It is. Because they got their whole rest of their season as bad teams.

Man, anything else in the AAL? Man, I think the only thing that really deserves a shout out outside of the Rays being the, like, the other side of that White Sox series is the Rays beat them and the Rays continue to be really good. Man, shout out Cleveland. it's been a while since we've talked about Cleveland pitching. What they did to the Angels this series was brutal.

Their starting pitchers had a one ERA. Henthes, I think I'm saying that right. Tristan McKenzie, our guy, and Quantrell, they all drop it. And then their bullpen also goes nine shutout innings. So Cleveland, if you know, you're an Indian slash Guardians fan, you can start hyping yourself up for next year when you have hopefully Bieber Phil Till in a couple of these young guys and hopefully the front office actually signs a couple of free agents and stuff.

But shout out to Cleveland's pitching because that's a gross weekend. I want to talk about McKin. I want to talk about McKenzie. McKenzie looks different on the mound right now. I've watched him pitch just because he came on sequence a long time ago, and I like to follow guys that I have on my show, and he looks different. I actually tweeted to him. There's a highlight from his last game, not the near freaking perfect game

in his previous start. This one where he went seven innings pitch and one and run with just two hits. He is ripping the crap out of his off-speed pitch. He is throwing it with, I don't know what's the right word I'm looking for right now.

Vim and vigor. Vim and vigor. Conviction is the word I'm looking for. It just looks sharp out of his hand. He's pairing that with his heater at the top of the zone and he's throwing that off-speed pitch and it's got huge depth

horizontally and it's quick. It's that. there and then it's gone and it's shown. And his results, I mean, he made Shohei look bad. That was a big highlight in this series. Like, he made him look bad. So shout out Tristan.

Number 24, too. I love that. It's a nice pitcher number. It's a good number. 24 is warm by. I don't think it's a good pitcher number. It's not, yeah. It's a good infielder number.

I think that's why it's a good pitcher number if you're good. Okay. Like I wear a ball player number. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's the flex. I get what you're saying. That's a new thing. Like, there was very, like,

Stroman with the single digit was, you know, not many pictures got in there. And now, I think more than anything, numbers have become a branding. Hmm. Like, part of your branding.

That's why guys go with zero and 99. It's like, you know. I'm number 14, everyone. What's up with that? It's hard on my brand. Well, I liked number two. I like number 22 a lot because my dad's favorite number,

numbers two, so I figured I just double it. And then someone had 22 on my hockey team. Okay. So half of it's 14. We get it. So then I got the 14. And that's all. That's a good story.

Yeah. Thank you. Appreciate it. I also like 12 a lot. That's a weird number to like. You have really random taste in numbers. It's okay, though. I like number three.

I like even numbers. Yeah, that's like a... Three is like classic. Three, five, seven. Those are like cookie cutter. Oakland A's Trevor. Yeah, I had to take it. I was the first guy to wear it since Chavez there.

And, you know, I knew, obviously, I grew up watching Eric Chavez. I wanted to give some homage to Harmon Killebrew. Sure. And three had been my number, my entire youth growing up, because small jerseys. I was a little kid. Oh, wow. One, two, three are the smallest Jersey on team. I was always number three.

And that's the show. Let's get out of here. Good stuff. All right. I.L. if you want. I want to talk about, yes, yes, yes. Okay, here we go. This is what happened.

Listen up. The Giants and the athletics played the Battle of the Bay. I believe the A's had the lead in all three games. They only won one game tied up where they were, the A's had a big lead in game two and then two solo home runs from Belt and someone else. Solano? Nuts.

And then the A's had to lead again, one-nothing in game three, to take the series and Lamont Wade Jr. Oh, gosh. Or he had it in two. Solano had the home run in game three. But it was all just home runs.

The Giants just finds ways to win. The Giants didn't hit good at all. Pinch hits. But they had six home runs, and they were all timely and changed the score. Damn, the Giants starting pitchers had a 307 ERA. Their bullpen had a 079. A starting pitchers dealt 2, 162 ERA, but their relievers blew it. As you just heard,

Bassett has noticed a dramatic reduction in face swelling and is going to undergo surgery Tuesday. That's good news. I think. Still feel for him. Disco placed on the 10-day I-L. Longoria placed on COVID-I-L. Oh, I didn't know that. I got Gedez. Yep. The Braves sweep the Orioles, and that's what you got to do when you're playing the Orioles. Who's going to let the Orioles beat them? That's going to be embarrassing. Freed absolutely deals in games one to set the precedent. Brave starting pitchers as a whole have a 186 ERA.

The relievers have a 117 ERA Solar. Solar. Jorge had four hits and two homers for the Braves. Mancini hit well. Six of seven Braves relievers don't allow an earned run. The only one who does records two saves. so who cares. Braves have won nine in a row. Orioles have lost 18 in a row.

Not good. And the Royals swept the Cubs. We'll be in Chicago tomorrow. Hopefully we give him some good juju. Keller pitches, Bubic pitches, Hernandez, Cubs. Tough, tough job. Oh. Cubs, just tough.

Oh. 7-71 Cubs, ERA, starting pitchers. The relievers did all right. Benintending. had seven hits, four extra base hits. Marifield had six home runs? Is that real? Who?

This says Witt Marifield had six home runs in the series. It doesn't feel right. Don't feel right. Oh, Max Manis is adding it as we speak. Six hits. Makes a lot more sense. I feel like that would have gotten to us. Perez, I feel like it would have solved.

Perez has two home runs. Wisdom with three hits and two homeruns and someone is wearing his jersey in the in the stands. So that's huge for him. Perez, go ahead, home run in the sixth inning at game one. Perez was hitting homers after I gave the award, like, why would you throw him a strike? And then he just keeps hitting.

So good job. Thanks, James. The series that matter there, the Braves. Oh, no. And the Braves only half matters, and it's time to get fat. What do you mean that series that didn't matter? Giants A's doesn't matter? That's the only one that matters.

The Braves half matters. Oh, half. Gotcha. Because the Braves have to sweep, and they did. So you just kind of go, okay, good job. You do what you need to do. The Orioles have lost 18 straight. Games that matters matters is the A's and the Giants.

The A's had a lead in all three. And they were pinch hits, Jim. That's what, like, think about that. You're the A's. Yeah. You got the lead. Pinch hitter, guys cold off the bench. Don't matter.

The Mont Wade, who the twins, the twins. You guys just, I think who just gave him away. I think you just designated him and he got picked up by the Giants. I'm pretty sure that's what's happened. Oh, that's their whole, that's their whole team, though. Donovan Solano, pinch hit, go ahead, two-run Homer off puck. Yeah. Like a Randy Johnson-type guy out there comes in off-the-bench cold, freaking pinch it.

The Giants, 14 pinch hit homers. Man. I'm starting to really believe in the Giants just win. They'll make you make the mistake. They'll beat you in odd ways. Like, they didn't hit it all this series. No. And I thought this was in San Francisco.

And they didn't pitch as well as they normally pitch. And they still just win. Trev, you just said a 14 pinch hit home runs this season. No other team has more than eight. And man, we feel this when we watch the Yanks. Like front offices nowadays, they especially love when you press a button and the good thing happens.

That's tasty. The Giants front office has to be tasty. The players have to be tasty. And if you're Oakland, I think this is a classic definition of baseball being disgusting. You win the first game. Cap drops it. You win four to one.

You're up in game two. You're about to win the series. Bang Biscuit, you just lost the series. You just got San Francisco Giants. I will say this. You got Giants. Giants. Move on, Oakland.

Don't even think about this series. Just put it in the rear view, as Jim would say. That's where the Red Sox are. No. In my car. in your car, they're back there. Someone was like, the Red Sox are, and I was like, what, they're out of it? Why are we talking

about them? Back to my point about the A's, as Jimmy took over that one for me, the A's put the series behind you because the Giants are just the giants. They do the damn thing to everybody. Don't take it personal and move on.

No, I mean, figure out what went wrong. You're looking, you're very close to be on the outskirts. You've got to go beat Seattle, then the Yankees come to town, and they're rolling right now. That's going to be a fun series. Yeah. Long ago on the COVID IL, I would like to, like, hit him up.

Why'd you just tap me? Because I know he's your guy. I was supporting you. Yeah, I want to hit him up and see how he's feeling. It might be fun to have him come on. Okay. Have we ever had a COVID interview? I've been on the show with COVID.

Oh, well, you know. We'll talk to him. We'll talk to him. We'll talk to. So I got it. You want me to text him or do you want to text him? He came back from the aisle, hits a bomb, like, plays really well,

and then goes back on the aisle with COVID. Okay. Shout out Max Fried. I'll text them. Freed. Complete game shutty. Did none of us give him the fan now? Best friend.

Yeah, yeah. We'll talk about him later. Okay, that's huge. Yeah. That's why I believe it. Couple notes from the series that exists, but do not matter. So, Lair. Oh,

Good for him. He's going for the Braves. They need him to be a threat. Nine-game win streak for Atlanta. And this is just a jakey note. Salvi Perez, one of my favorite batting stances. He crouches down. He opens wide.

It's like a power with the ball stance. He looks like the guy from Rookie of the Year, the big bad hitter that the kid has to pitch to it. A little bit. He's just hunched over and a giant. He's like, I try to throw it in here. It's just open and it's ready to get the bat going. Like he's got like a lot.

Like it starts, his path starts like over here somewhere. then gets going, two-handed finish, low on the back. It's pretty cool. I like seeing that. This is the least I've ever looked at Jake during an episode. Yeah. You want to start to look at each other more? For people who are watching on YouTube,

it's tough for us to look at the camera. We're looking up. We wanted to get the beautiful field. Are they still playing football back there? Jake took the only reclining seat. Yeah. Not reclining either. Okay.

Let's move on. Let's move on, then. Stand. Standout. Which are brought to you by Draft King Sportsbook. Do you have the ad? He's my Draft Kings. No, it's a Monday and I'm not there.

I'm not sure what that's about. You have the first standout performance anyway. Are you serious? Yeah, because you let off the show. You want to start looking at each other more? Yeah. There's Treff. There's Trev. He's right here.

Okay. I'll do mine then, if you don't mind. You do it. My standout performer, James, a lot of good options this week, by the way. I took mine a dude who had a big game, and I think he is one of the bigger conversation pieces. the rest of the way, especially in our world. And me and Trevor Plouffe talked about this guy a lot last night on talking Yanks,

as we had to find an injury replacement for you. Jim, I want to talk about Luke Voight. Luke Voight had a big day at the office. How's your four hits? Homer, double, four ribby steaks. And man, you know, we're in Yankee land, so sometimes we try to keep the Yankee stuff light on here, and you guys still want to come.

These guys all they talk about Yankees. Thanks for listening. The Yankees traded for Anthony Rizzo. One of the best defensive first baseman in baseball, one of the better first baseman in baseball, which left Luke Voight in an interesting spot. And Carlos Dan hadn't been playing any outfield. He's starting to play a little right field.

And Luke Voight, man, it's funny how the media can dictate your thoughts. He's kind of been crushing it. Last year, the guy led the league in home runs. This year he comes back and was essentially, you know, injured. He comes back. And now. I ask him. Oh.

Yeah. Big news out of San Diego. Padres have dismissed pitching coach Larry Rothschild. Wow. Uncle Larry out. He's the scapegoat. That's tough. Scapegoat king.

Speaking of Yankees fans rejoicing, he was their scapegoat for a while. Yeah, that'll turn it around. Luke Voight. The Yankees' best lineup, if you don't know in Yankee land, has Luke Voight as the DH. Stanton can play right field. He's been out there. He's looked solid this year. And, man, Luke Voight is playing.

It's one thing if you're talking and, you know, you're hitting, eh, Luke Voight, he's hitting a little bit recently. And yeah, he's a nice bat. Go look at this dude's career numbers. OPS in the high eights. His numbers this year are getting back on track just below 800 after a slow. start in the OPS. Luke Voight is in the Yankees' best lineup,

and I think Trev had a little bit of an eye-opening moment the other day. On Toggin Yanks, we're going through the Yankees' A-plus A-plus lineup. And it's fun. I mean, DJ LaMayhew, who he's kind of turned it back up. Nice lead-off hitter. Anthony Rizzo, how can you

not love him? Aaron Judge, stud. Joey Gallo, stud. Giancarlo Stann, 50 homers in the bag, hitting five-hole. You get to the Yankees' six spot in the line. You can be talking about Luke Voight? Gary Sanchez? Man, Luke Voight and some of his quotes and conversation around him

is going to be a big part of the Yankee season the rest of the way. And if they roll out their A lineup in the playoffs, it's got him in it. The dude led the league in homers last year. Love me some Luke Voight. He's doing the 316 celebration, smashing water bottles, pouring him on himself. That's what it's about, baby.

I love that. I love that I did talk about him with you on talking yanks I'll go through it here because there are some people that don't cross over sure I came out and said the Yankees needed to trade Luke Voight yeah um

I kind of stand by that I think he was at his max value probably in the offseason they didn't end up doing that then he was hurt well they tried so like you're fine they tried to trade yeah and um you know then he was hurt and he his numbers weren't looking good. And so, you know, he became almost like a, not a punch line, but people who were calling for him to be traded were patting themselves in the back,

including myself. But now he's inserted himself into the lineup. Basically said, you better play me because I'm that guy. And he's backed it up. Eight ribbyes in the series against the twins. And when you're talking about that A lineup, he's a freaking big part of that. Yeah.

That's a game-changing hitter. Yeah. Well, I, you know, I love Luke Voigt. He's really, really good hitter. I still think they're going to try to trade him this offseason. Yeah. I mean, that's fine. You can say that, but he's going to be a big part. I'd be very happy if they did it, but it seems like they're going to try. Good standout. It's good for him to be traded. There's a lot of this year to play out. Yeah. Good standout, Jake. Thank you.

Really good job. What do you got, Trev? I am going with our good friend Christian Yellitt. Oh, wow. On Saturday night he goes three for five. It's a homer on the first pitch he sees, then a single for some ribbies, and he comes back and puts the game out of reach with a grand slam.

So he goes three for five, two homers, six freaking ribbies. And we had some discussions with some people pretty high up. Whoops. With the brew crew. And we're talking about postseason and where they're, how good they're set up, like what they think's going to happen. and all of that talk was based around Christian Yellich. They need Yelly to be this guy that hits for homers.

I think he had seven homers on the year going into that game. Does he have nine now or eight now? Whatever it is, that's not typically what a guy like Christian Yellich does at the plate, but he's Christian Yellich, and the power is going to be there at the end of the year. Prince Fielder always said, don't worry about your numbers until the last game of the season. If you're a dude, your numbers will be there. Christian Yelch's numbers will be there. So expect a September full of home runs.

Shout out Yelie 3 or 5. And he's handsome. Yeah. He's really in shape and he's really nice. Nice. You were wearing his jersey. Tell him about it. He's really rich.

And like, he's so good at everything. I love Christian Yelch. Every time I'm around the guy, I'm like, wow. Like you're like one of the humans that like, you're like, I think he's better than everybody else, including myself. I'm like, he's just good. Like kind of the way you look at Olympians. Yeah, he's a notch above everybody.

Yeah. Yeah, like when an Olympian flashes that big smile and it's like they just set a world record and they're out of the pool and they're like, yeah, I ran a good race and happy to be here. And you're like, dude, you're like the king of the world, man. We were talking. They got an off day today. Yeah. Yeah. In Milwaukee.

The world is his oyster. He can do whatever he wants today. And last night. If he wanted to shoot hoops at the Buck Stadium, he could have gone and done that. Yeah, of course. Him and Bobby Portis. Yeah. They might be playing right now.

Him and Janus are best friends. They live together. People don't know that. You know what's funny, man. It's like, dude, think about how nice Yelie is. Super nice. He's a freaking MVP. Is Milwaukee like the best sports city right now?

No. I think Milwaukee's like what Minnesota wants to be like. That's so mean to Minnesota, dude. It is mean. I love you, Minnesota. You know what I mean, though? It's like your town. You just broke.

So many hearts. I don't think I did. I think they know exactly what I'm talking about. They've had postseason success here. They've had, you know. Oh, look, Minnesota had Joe Mauer. It was essentially Christian Yellich. Yeah.

Right? Yeah. I like that. But they've won some championships here lately. Quite a few, actually. My standout. You guys ready? Yeah.

Is Gibby. of course it's Kyle Gibson ever heard of him there's a lot of surrounding around this one performance they lose a brutal loss in game two Nola deals but gives up the home run one strike away from ending the game Croningworth gets it Padres win they can lose the series now the Phillies in the next game

they need a good outing they traded for Gibby for these spots he goes eight innings pitched one earned run and it wasn't easy He stranded five runners in the first three innings. He was at 56 pitches through the first three innings and then was able to get it in gear and just go beast mode the rest of the game. And last eight.

You know, that's not the pattern for going eight innings, but persevered, limited the damage. Then the Phillies got some runs, so that helped him out. But that's a big outing when you need a big outing. BPD. You know how DDD. It's like those tweets together after wins.

He draws those. Can you, yeah, can you put that up? Do you have that? On D.D. The most recent Didi. It's like his tweet from 16 hours ago. He's got a great picture of, like, Ghibie on the mat. Actually, that's a great picture.

That's incredible. Dude, Dedy is very talented. Pretty cool. So yeah, Ghibie's shout out. He's like, is he our best friend? Who's our best friend? I mean, you're, like, very close with Kyle Gibson. I never played with him.

We never crossed paths at the three. right time. I like him a lot. Nice guy. We have a lot of good friends. Yeah, Colt Tucker, Gibby, Yelly. And I don't know. Corbyn Burns is my Instagram friend.

Hap's pretty good friends. Do we want to? Haps, a pretty big one. Hey, his ERA is back in the, in 306, Travis. So he's one start away from shoving your face in a pile of crap. I was just going there. I think we need a bet. Wow.

Okay. Who's two? Sub two? I said he said it's tough. But still. I said sub two guys. But still. I believe Gibby can be a two-five guy.

Sub-two is rarefied air. Oh, yeah. He was sub-2 on July 2nd. Yeah, dude, relax. I feel bad for saying that because he did have like a bad streak. Can we still make a bet that in his next outing, if he gets below three, you got to... No, I think he can do it.

I love Gibby. I'm rooting against him. Fun guy alert. BVD will root against him. I won't do that from one of my friends. Okay. Okay. How about we act like all our listeners don't believe in him?

so like I don't know I don't know you're going somewhere Trying to make a bet here Can I give like a side Try to blow it A side

Stand out Like not He's not there He's like watching really closely We're going to get eight minutes Technically before The Brewers chefs They're about to feed us

They're cooking all their stadium Food Trust Top five prettiest swings In the game I love you Reese I love you Reese Anyone know where he plays Yeah right

He's Hoskins. He's the man. He's the best. We should just skip this. Skip what? Oh, Trev kind of. We'll do it real quick. See you, Treve?

See it, Trev. We will do it real quick. Five guys around slump watch, J.T. Orimuto, Mani Machado, Michael Brandly, Adam Frazier, and Mike Yistramski. B.D, who might be getting at it? There's some interesting names potentially coming on. Dom Smith. O for 11, 3Ks.

Raphael Devers only 0 for 8 this series, but this goes back to his Yankee series where he was one for 10. So he's feeling it. Oh, wow. Muncie's... Fernando Tatis is one for 10. The one was a double. RBI, two walks, hit by pitch, 4Ks.

Mackle Muncie, one for 16, a double RBI. Six K's. Trent Grisham, one for 10, double four K's. Yeah, all right. So if we're trying to be quick about it, I love putting Moncy and Tatis on there. Obviously, big share.

It's better for baseball to get these guys going, and it's up to us to do that by putting him on slump watch. Real Mudo's out. Good job, J.T. Real Mudo. Claps. Oh, he went off. Shame to fling. He went off, yeah.

Frazier, I think it's kind of a don't care too much, two for eight with a walk. Well, then we got a lot of Padres. So, like, we'd just put Tatis. If we're going to fix one Padre, you just put Tatis. I kind of like Machado and Tatis, because those two have to be the two. Okay. All right.

So Frasier, see you. So that's, if I had to, put my five, I think I'd leave Doc smooth just because I like tracking Brantley. Look at that wingspan. I guess... So you take his ass off? Well, definitely. He gets clas. He's going two for five with a homer. If I had to do my five,

I think it would be Manny, Tates, Brantley. Dude, Muncie's is real one for 16? Is there, is there people charting like since he got lasered in the face, Muncie? Like, can we pin this on the laser point? Pointer crew?

Yeah, that feels related. That feels related. So who are your five, Muncie? Muncie, Tatee, Machado, Brantley, and Devers. Devers? Okay. Sorry, Dom Smith. Tom Smith is having a tough year at this point.

Face some good pitching. I mean, he's got a 665 OPS on the year. Jake, don't be so weird about it. I like Dom Smith. I love Don't like him a lot. He was getting some of the best, like, young hitters in the game before the season. It was great on the Rose Rotation. Producer Rob's here for that.

He's an awesome dude. Was he good before and after the show as well? He's awesome. Rob says he was awesome the whole time. And Trent, sorry, you just got one up to buy Tatisa Machado. So I think we're good. God, a lot of freaking Padres. I don't like this.

They're back early. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Good job. We'll get him going. Dirt nasty's on Fuego. That means I'm on fire, baby.

Like Waco. Let's see who's on fire. Jake. You want to take the first four, I'll take the next five. I'll just rip it, dog. Tyler Naquin, I mentioned him before. How's your 8 for 15, 3 homers, couple dubs, triple, holy extra base hits.

We like some impact baseball. I'm in Rosario, his teammate. He had a huge series, 8 for 12, yep. Jordon Alvarez, three homers of his four hits. He's a beast. We casually forget about him sometime. Tai France. I like him a lot.

Six for 11. Two homers. Jim, you said the final four, and I get the first four. There's nine names, so I'll let you go. Dalton Varsho, one of my favorite guys I've never heard of. He's five for eight with two homeruns. Who's Varsho play for? Snakes, bro.

Catcher and center field. Showtime. You pay so much attention to them that I kind of, like, if I tune out a D-backed thing, like Jake's watching, it's all good. We're going to go meet up with them and watch two games, and I love the Diamondback. Sorry, Varshow. Snakes, show.

Oduble Herrera. For some reason, he seems like a name from yesterday to me. But he has a great series. Five for nine with two home runs and two doubles. Luke Voit, you heard about him. Ben Intendi, I talked about him in my recap. Seven for 12 with a homer. And then Citele.

Yeah. Huge. Six for 11. Homer, three doubles. And three walks. Yes. You said people forget about Yordon Alres. I literally never forget about Yordon Elvarez.

I think Jake meant they forget how much, like, a big duty is. Like, if we had to make it. an all big dude team. You know. He's like a top 10 pure hitter in the game. Fran Mill. I know I'm getting, I know I'm getting snaky late.

Go look at Catelle Martes 2019 through now. I'm not doing that. We said we had six minutes to film. That's why I'm telling people when they have time. Go do it. All right.

Jesus. Best friend of the week? Try using your little ears. Let's do a 30-second award. Sorry about the year thing. Yeah, geez. 30-second award. Ready?

Go. We're doing best friend of the week. Best friend of the week first. BPD, best friend of the week? The best friend of the week is Max Freed. It's his second time receiving the award, the fourth pitcher to receive multiple best friend awards, although his first time, it was for his pinchate walkoff single,

so it's his first time earning it for his work on the mound. Wow. Wow. Nine innings pitch zero and runs four K's forehead. Shout out, Max. What a stud. He's hot, too. I'll go.

Awards. Jake goes first. And it looks like he's got a badass award come out. I'm leaving. I almost did, so I'm happy I didn't. Because his stats are gross the last three years. No, go look him up. No, I'm giving the last three euros award.

Oh, wow. Soccer season's picking back up, and this has always been a football pod. No, guys, I mentioned it before the sexy teams, the Padres, are floundering right now. Well, Toronto. A floundering impression. Floundering every day. You ever cooked flounder? I've not.

I've got won once. There's a team that is still kind of in the mix. We never give them enough love. The only love we give them is J.P. Crawford because we're J.P. Crawford pod. The Seattle Mariners are three games out of the wild cards, seven and three in their last ten. They have an Oakland series coming up so they can go chew that fat right now if they want. Or they're probably going to die. But I want to give the Mariners some love, and I want to actually give their best player some love this year.

It's not J.P. Crawford. He's number two. It's what the French national team has done their last three games. Surrender? Ty France. Oh. Tai France has the biggest, the highest war on the Nats. 3.2 this year.

115 games, 15 homers, 824 OPS. He's played some first place. He's played some second base. He's played some third base. He's 26 years old, man. He's getting better. And when you talk Mariners baseball, which you know I love doing, Ty France is a huge piece of it

He's going to be a big part of when we're talking Mariners next year And all the love we give those Blue Jays guys All of them Flatito well he deserves it Bichette also deserves it Tay Oscar everyone See Bichette got stung by B

I did say that All those Blue Jays guys always get the love Seattle not as sexy this year They're currently a game and a half up on them And Thai France is one of the biggest reasons So he gets some love I like that Thank you

That's pretty funny to be like the game Ty France. Like they won the tie, though. France. Thai. France. Actually lost her last one.

Okay. Treve? This is going to be quick. I'm going to give it to my guy. I'm going to call it the, you're just generational award. Oh. I think Miguel Cabrera is a generational. Never heard of them.

Bats. Yeah. I wax poetic on my Twitter last night. He hit 500 in Toronto. It was an opposite field shot. I'll just kind of tell you. what I said on my Twitter. Every team, not every team, most teams.

Going to Detroit, if you know, you know, you go watch Miggie take BP. I'm talking our whole team was out there early. And you had to go 20 minutes early to catch his round of BP. We would do that. And he would just flick balls out to right center and literally nobody else.

No right-handed hitter could do that except for Miggie. Shout out, man. 250 years of two homers. That's what that is. What's the math? 250 straight years of two homers. Wow. So shout out,

he got to the 500 club Hall of Famer, obviously, one of the best hitters you'll ever, you're ever going to see. And the last point I want to make, I also put this on my Twitter. Every single freaking hitting coach studies Miguel Cabrera's swing.

Like if you go into a lab right now, all the head honchos, all the hitting gurus, it's Miggie Cabrera. So shout out, Mickey, you're a guy, 500 homers. Love that.

Oh. 250 years of two. I mean, that turned into some Lord of the Rings stuff there. 250 years, that's some like elvish type shit. That's like barely an age. Yeah. Jimmy was going to say that too. Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm doing something pretty much like Lord of the Wings. Lord of the Wings. That's a speech impediment thing. No, it's not. That's a different show, Jim. Don't do that. That wasn't an impediment. Lord of the Wings is a different show.

Lord of the Wings. I do this if I want to do this. Lord of the Wings is a great movie. It's about the, uh, it's a great. You have to watch it. Air service man. I could go for some wings right now. We're about to eat.

I'm giving the Timothy 612 award. Oh. Mm-hmm. I'm looking at his computer. Yeah, it's actually, yeah, Timothy 212, right? You said 612. No, it's 212. Now it's 212.

It's 212. Yeah. And it's also in parentheses going to be called the Perseverance Award. Persevereign. Yeah, Pesvia. And it goes to BBD. Wow. Because, you know, a lot of this sausage racing is going to be about my injury and my giant fall.

BPD was dead. Dead. He was dead before the race. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah. I forgot about it, too. He was, you know, banged up, terrible headache. Yeah.

Dehydration in question. Towel on his head, sleeping on the couch. We had to wake him up. Like, you still want to do this. The brewers were kind of like, hey, if he gets hurt. He doesn't look good. You know, I think he should run. Being inside those costumes with a headache.

It was like a sauna. It was like a sauna coffin, which I guess all this. A sauna coffin. That's a new thing they're doing these days. Yeah, so just beautiful perseverance by BPD. Yeah, okay, I forgot. This is like, it happens. The sausage race has a lot of stuff.

I'm stealing a lot of the shine. You cheated. Jake May have won. You tagged the wrong kid. BBD and Jack were like way behind the three of us when I got hurt. Well, I mean, the story. is you falling. I know, but I'm stealing a lot of shine from all these other stories.

There were other stories to be told. Yeah. A lot of sausage races talk about the winner. We do have like a full like little featurette coming out about the race and going down the slide and stuff. So we were miced up. Hey, Zach almost died. Me miced up for my fall, Mike.

Yeah. It's going to be great. I kind of forgot I was miced up. Who else died on a trip? Because now we've had BBD and Zach, but I thought there was one other person. Did anyone die on the All-Star weekend? Dan fell asleep in the middle of that. Dan was kind of dead.

That counts. Yeah, but it was like 2 a.m. That was like the chance. Actually, for him, it's not. When Chris Rose is taking pictures around your corpse, I think that counts. Yeah. So we have a track record now. So next trip.

Could be you. Hiring soon. It's near death. All right. Elevator talk. Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick. Oh, my God. Amfam Field, the Brewers.

No, the brewer. Wow. How nuts is that? If you get an elevator and you see some of the Brewers hat, tell them that the game day experience is fantastic. Fantastic. Letting all the little kids run the bases after games is so cool. Little kids were just like through the moon lining up to run.

Every stadium should do that. They do. I think it's a Sunday thing. The Yankees don't do that. This is a bad, look at this freaking field. Now, I really love the simplicity of the eye line and the view. Routy Tellez is the man. Paralta is a ball of energy, which I did not know.

He's out there. He's out there again today throwing, and Corbyn was like, what is he doing? He needs to, like, take it easy. But Paralta was just... It's so funny seeing personalities and actually putting them with guys. Like Corbyn Burns, he's, you know, Cali, Bakersfield guy. He was chilling, kind of low-key doing his thing. Brandon Woodruff, a big boy.

He was doing his own thing. And that was fine. And that's who. Brandon Woodruff is Peralta, like you just mentioned. Willie Adamas is king of the world. He's going to be the next Bobby Portis of Milwaukee. I'm patting myself on the back for that call. Willie.

Willie. You were all over Willie. I've been all over Willie. Big October for Willie. Brewers were awesome. Everyone on the team. Who's the coach that's just the king of the world? Pat Murphy.

Pat Murphy. I mean, talk about a baseball guy. A little fun tidbit is one of the most popular breakdowns is Strickland versus Harper fight. Yeah. And Strickland came up to me, and they had just showed him the video. He had never seen him before. And I think I say, like, mean things about him.

Or I think I'm, like, pathetic that he held a grudge for three years. Right. I forget. But he came up with, like, a twinkle in his eye. And he was like, hey, man, just watch that video you made. He was cool. He was like, I love it. I was like, I don't know what I said.

So sorry or you're welcome. I was standing with Corbyn talking with him. He had some piercing blue eyes, trapped. Yeah. Who? Hunter? Hunter? Hunter. Yeah, he's a good looking dude.

And I was telling Corby that. I was like, dude, like Jimmy sometimes you meets these guys. He doesn't know. Yeah. You got a big back catalog now. I made 700 of them. Yeah. I don't know what I've said.

Yeah. So he might be MF. Same with Routy. I'm like, hey, ever make one about you? Like, sorry. He's like, I don't know, maybe. But they all love it. Yeah.

I mean, the shit talking we heard in the dugout is 10 times worse than anything. Yes. Murf was going at Routy. That was hilarious. That was wild. So we had a great time here. Thank you again to the Brewers for having us. I think the line we can share from Murph is,

Rowdy Tellez hit a game winning hit the other day. Down the line. And Murph, the coach, says, yeah, I mean, Rowdy gets beat on a fastball. Where he gets beat on a fastball, blocks it down the line. He blocks it down the line. Routy's like, I was trying to go the other way. And then he goes, he goes out in front of that off speed pitch.

Hit on his front foot for a homer. Game winning hit and a homer. Is he just good baseball stuff? Oh, good stuff. Thank you, Bruce. Thank you, the Brewers. Thank you guys for tuning in. there's going to be a lot of video and stuff coming out about all this.

Thanks for MLB for... Tweet at the Brewers and stuff. Yeah. Tell them to have us again. Oh. Oh. Is that you doing that? Remix.

Greatest baseball show in the history of baseball shows. Ever. Ever. It's over. Let's make out. Come here. Shout out Jim for... Wow. You also get a perseverance award.

Double perseverance award. You're going to see some stuff on the video. Bone. Their bone came out. Hamstring bone. Amstring bone came out.
