Hello and welcome to talking baseball. Umpires made some scenes. Teams made some wins. The Mets are amazing. Let's talk all about it. Hello and welcome to talking baseball. Presented by seat geeks. My name is Jimmy.

Sitting next to me is Jake in California. We have Trevor Plouf and behind the dish producer BBD. Baseball was played. Baseball happened. Some teams won, some teams lost. We weren't able to watch every single game because that's impossible. So we rely on you as always. So fill us in on the things we missed or are getting wrong or didn't touch on.

That's your guy's job as the associate producers of the show. Thanks for listening and helping us out. Jake, how are you? James, Trevor, BVD. How's everyone doing? Huge weekend. Baseball hockey got involved. You probably saw me, Rizzo, Judge, and DJ at the game last night.

That was pretty cool. First playoff hockey game. Enjoyed that. Because the Yankees had a night off, and now they've got another night off because of the rain. So I'm actually, I have watched every game this week. I'll speak highly intelligently on it. You know, I wake up. I watch those five minutes condensed games on the MLB app.

That's how I start every day. I used to watch those, but they changed the way they. edit him. I don't like him anymore. Each game. But I'm doing pretty well. Got my shady raise on. Feeling good, looking good, playing good. Trevor Plouffe. You and my, we have a connection, Trevor. I know you try to deny that, but we both have some good D-backs juice going these days. You do. You know, everyone knows that my youth team, it's probably the most important baseball going right now tomorrow. We've won two games in a row this week. Put

ourselves in a position. We're playing for first place. We play for rings in the valley, baby. That's what we do. But my week has been wrapped up in all that. So much youth baseball, so much dust in my eyes and ears. It's a dusty field. I don't love it. But we're playing good ball. I'm excited to talk about some of the stuff that went down. There was some games. Yes, the Mets, James, like you said, they're pretty good. And there's this other guy that they have, too, that has even played this year. So Jolly Olives in our chat just puffing his chest. Unreal. But I have the AL today. So we'll be talking about some fun things that happen, including maybe the best game ever in Fenway history.

People are saying. James, how you doing, bro? I mean, what a day for John Boy Media yesterday. You want to talk about that a little bit? Yeah, big announcement. We had a lot of big announcements. and I'm happy that it was announced. Talked about it a lot of places. Oh, we could talk about baseball here. It was a big day. All right, fine. It's exciting to see everyone's reaction.

Thanks, everyone. Ain't going to change this show. We're just going to keep going and going and going. It's the best show that's ever been created. Ever. I will leave a five-star review, and I will give one lucky fan, Dwayne Wade's phone number.

Dawson's Creek was pretty good. good but um Boston Street was a ride it lost itself okay pacey pacey

hot boy Jake would have been yeah Jake would have been a big pacey guy yeah didn't Pacey hook up with like the teacher

like a lot he just hooked up with everybody everybody yeah he has that one line and he's like you know what frost my tips and that makes me laugh if it fits it shift

it's getting a haircut and he like needs to like rebrand himself I used to watch it off my parents and like that. I think there was some gratuitous sex scenes. Nah, it's not really.

It was the CWs. It was that and then party of five Thursday nights. Used to watch it with my parents too after hockey practice. Jake, you're giving us the NL? I am the National League. And you look really good in those sunglasses? Jim, I really look good in these shady rays,

which are the sunglasses I'm wearing. Shady rays, I think people are familiar with shady rays. They're like, they are big. in the sunglasses gang, and now guess what, people there with us? And they're changing the way you wear sunglasses in the outdoors or you're a cat like me in the indoors. Every pair is backed with their lost and broken replacements. Trev, if you had to name a guy who would need lost and broken replacements for their sunglasses,

who would you say needs that? Wait, if you lose these glasses, they give you other ones? Every pair is backed by lost and broken replacements. even on day one, they will send you a brand new pair. That's how much Shady Ray's does for their customers. I'm in. I am in. I am that person.

Trev, what if I told you I could even sweeten the pot, Big Daddy? Not only how good I look right now, but exclusively for our listeners. You know, some people come in and they give you a little deal and we're like, that's very nice. We thank you. Shadyrays.

He's going into that sunglass life because it's such a good deal. Shadyrays.com code talking. 50% off 2 plus pairs of premium polarized shades. I didn't know we had that deal.

I'm probably going to go check it out. These are not shady rays. Oh, yeah. Burn them. Yeah. Well, those are dinosaur glasses. I don't know if shady rays is dipped into that game yet. Yet.

Is that what do you think those are dinosaur glasses? They kind of look like it. You have to understand where I'm coming from with that. Let's talk about the National League. If we're going to start beefing over dinosaur last, it's going to be a long app for us, Trev. Trev, I hope you don't mind if we head out to your Los Angeles, where the Dodgers.

Trevor Plouf was in the building with John Boy Media's dad, Chris Rose, and by the way, they watch the Dodgers do Dodger things. A little two-gamer against Gabe Kapler and the Giants. Can't wait for a good Gabe Kapler story from Trev, aka an ignored text message. Dodgers only allow one run. each time. Ureas and happy Catterday. Tony Gonsolin. Trev gave him. I told you guys.

I know. You gave him some tips before the season and they are working. Urea 6. Gonsulin 5 and 1. Good news for the Giants, which I don't know. They lost. They probably could use a little good news. Lamont Wade Jr. expect to be activated. Evan Longoria and Tommy Lestella starting some rehab assignment so reinforcements are on the way. Cincinnati, oh my God, it's getting bad. I think the rumor is a fan supposed to poop in a truck today. That's your Cincinnati Reds baseball. They got swept by the Brewers and that's obvious. And Jim, you're not going to like the scores. 10, 5, 18 to 4.

Reds, it's getting ugly fast out there. Brewers as a team slash 337. 437-7-31. They turned the brewers into Babe Ruth. I'm worried about that for the Cincinnati Reds. By the way, those brew crew can pitch pretty well themselves. The Mets and Braves split a four-gamer. I know you probably want to hear about the Mets comeback last night. We're not talking about that.

We're talking Mets Braves. Mets take the meat and cheese games of the sandwich series, a four-game set while the Braves were the bread. Braves haven't been winning a lot of series. I don't like that for them. And the Miracle Mets, man. I know last night's the story. Our friend Trevor May, he gets her.

I don't like that. I don't like that. I do like a big Brave seven run scored in the sixth inning at the final game of that set for them to get the win. Cookie Carrasco, you might hear about him later. Bassett and Freed in the second in the first game. That'll put some lead in your pencil. We'll talk about it a minute, guys, but let's talk about Kelsey Winger's Rockies right now,

who took two out of three from the National Stats. That's a team that's been winning series. After dropping game one to Fettywop for the Nats, the Rockies come back, 5-2-9-7. Gumber, barely nowhere. He has a nice outing for them. And then a couple unearned runs in the final game, that's fun. But Rogers and Hampson both hit three-runs ding-dongs to give the Rockies the story. sweat. Hey, those Marlins fish with arms. They're pretty good, right? They got snake-bitten.

The debacks, we play for rings in the valley and the desert. 5-4-4-8-7, including a special comeback, Paving Smith with the two-run homer in the ninth of the final game to take down a six-three lead. How about it? You might hear a little bit about Madbub, uh, who kind of got stared down and had his fingers groped by another man. That's baseball, Susan. So we'll talk about that. Zach Gallen, you'll hear his name later, too. Castellanos, the snakes, sweep.

They're playing good baseball. We're above 500, I think. And that's what's going on in the National League. Boom, boom. Job well done by Jake there. Your standings in the National League. The Mets are a top. the East, the 19 and 9 record.

19th win coming in the game yesterday, which was crazy. We've referenced it a bunch of times, but doesn't fall into it's the weekend series, so we're not really going to discuss it at length. The Brewers are atop the Central, with that sweep of the Reds, 18 and 8, 692 winning percentage, and the Dodgers stay in first place in the West.

The Giants fall to fourth after losing the two games. It's very close. In the West, the top four teams are all very close. What? Top five teams in the West. Debax are there. They're not above 500, so I don't put them in there yet. Okay.

Once they get above 500, and then I'll say the top five teams. I guess in my head, they win on Jake Snake Saturdays, so they can't. They win tonight, then they're going to be two games over 500. So we'll see out today. I guess that's my bet. That was a little future.

Something to just explain, because you said it, Jake and your beautiful recap there. A fan is supposed to poop in the truck. Yeah. In the outfield of Cincinnati today. If you don't know what we're talking about on... Then go to a different show. Yeah.

Sorry. On Reddit, I mean, I'm just going to read the Reddit post verbatim because it's really funny. Guy posted on the Red subreddit said, during the Friday, May 6th game. against the pirates. I will be scaling the wall to defecate in the bed of the Toyota Tundra. If anyone can take photos of me, I'd appreciate it.

Also, if anyone is down to also shit in the bed of the truck, meet me under the smoke stacks in the top of the fourth inning. Cheers. Do you think there's going to be security at the smoke stacks in the fourth inning? Yeah, there has to be. Well, they're dumb because obviously that's a diversion. Like, obviously. they're not meeting at the smoke stacks.

They're going to make sure no one scales the truck. I could see security at the smoke stacks and the truck. Imagine this is the highest attendance they get all season. First of all, first of all, everyone knows you don't go on the truck. If you want to go, you go on the ship. Take a shit on the ship. What ship?

I think this is all a diversion and it's going to play out somewhere else in the stadium. I really believe that. Oh, wow. Just poop all over the stadium. No, but please don't. No, don't do that. Please don't because someone's got to clean it up, dude.

That's like what I think about. What if they poop and then clean it up? You just leave poop? What do you mean? The truck bed of that truck? No one's been there. They're probably like an inch of bird shit there. No one's clean that up.

I disagree. I think you got to clean up human feces. It's 100 feet in the air. No one's been there. That's what I thought. I was like, this is kind of empty. I don't think this bothers anyone. It's just a really long way to go to poop.

And how do you know, like, how do you make sure you have to put it? So that another thing, you got to get up there, you take a laxative or something. Hello. Anyways. Anyways, two game sets are boring when they get split. Giants couldn't split it. Dodgers win both. That's where we start.

They just pitch, hold them to one run, both games. Treb, you were there. How are the vibes, dog? Vibes are good. I think the Giants know they're playing with a little bit of a decimated roster. They're waiting for some of these guys. to get back, you know, like you mentioned, there's Lestela, there's belt, there's Longo, but the vibes are good, man. I love talking ball. We got a chance to catch up with some of the

coaches. I talked to Gabe, talked to my friend J.P. Martinez, just hearing about some of the stuff they're doing, you know, I think there's an article now out about Lestella bringing over this, like, foam ball machine. And you can use it for hitting, but they're also using it for ground balls as well. like it's like high-velo spin-type stuff you can shape the balls but it's not hard in like high impact for you and i always found that was the problem when you're training high-vilo like off a machine you could take it but we start swinging at it it would bust your hands up and it would almost be counterproductive but with the foam balls i'm kind of i kind of get it and um for both for both sides of the ball so just cool tidbits like that i mean they're just approaching the game

differently. Yeah, they got beat because the Dodgers are an absolute juggernaut. There's no quitting them. I saw a really nice catch by Mickey Betts in the game that I was there. But it's going to be a dog fight because that game, you know, the 3-1 game, it's very close. Rodon was absolutely filthy. And like I said, I think that the Giants are playing with what they probably refer to as, you know what, their B roster right now. You know, this isn't the A roster. So I fully believe the Giants are not a fluke. I believe they're going to be there at the end, just like they were last season. Okay.

I do as well. Last year these games were kind of must watch, so it's a bit of a bummer that was 9 to 1 in game 2. Is that the score? It was 3 to 1 and then it was 9 to 1. Hoping you go for the split, it's a two-game set. In the long run, doesn't mean incredible.

Last year, every game meant a ton in the end. But I don't know, I was like hoping the Giants would come back. And then it was not. fun. So where those two gamers sounds obviously a little dumb, but you win the first game, it's just straight house money.

We either split the two game and handshake and move on or whipped your ass. And I don't know, tough for the Giants, like he said, banged up, come back long ago. One thing for Dodger fans,

if you want to even feel better about yourselves, our good friend, Enos Saris, had another article out with the Athletic talking about 12 hits, who are doing the right things but not giving the results of the 12,

three of them are Dodgers. If they need any more help. We talk about predictive stats. Like these guys are going to be there. The Dodgers are just, they're the Dodgers. Nothing to have. Yeah, nothing to have.

Dodgers are good. We talked about the Reds. It was announced that Lux, or not Lux, Trey Turner invested in John Bo. whoops. Thanks, Trey. We met him. He's nice. He's fast. He's strong. Oh, it's so fast. Good looking, too. He's pretty fast.

He's about to get paid. Like, he could play Spider-Man. Like, that's his look. Oh, that is his look. That's a really good call. A thousand percent. That's your best. He's MLB Spider-Man. That's your best superhero take on the show ever. Is Erdogan a superhero? Okay. Reds, we talked about their shitty situation.

they get swept by the brewers. Brewer's bats. And the brewers get, bats get hot, which, like you said, they turn the brewers into the best ever.

Now the Brewers Bats is like, who can stay hot? You had the come join me. Birthday award, getting the set, turned seven year old. And then some did last week for the,

or last weekend for the brewers. They got some bats hot. I mean, I don't know the numbers as a team, like individually, but they had 19 extra base hits, 11 home runs. I have to guess that was pretty spread out.

Yeah, our guy, our guy Rowdy, you might hear about him later. He's out OPS is now 966. Yelly, 792. Let's go, Yelly. Find it, kid. Who do they play next? They play the Braves coming up and then Reds again. And then Reds again.

So keep the bats hot. Yeah, how hot can you stay? How hot can you stay? Like, that's the Reds effect is how long do your, do your, you would stay hard. James, do you know who provided that spark plug? I know it was against the Reds. I understand it, but our guy, Luis Urias, came back.

And he took Hunter Green up top. I think it was a lead off hitter. Hunter Green up top, 100 miles an hour. Got to have them. You got to have it, baby. Got to have them. Good. Reds was a...

I mean, they're going on. They're on pace for historic bad? I mean, different parts of history, but yes. I don't know the Red's worst season ever, but we're entering dangerous, dangerous territory. Jeff Pass and just slaying him on Twitter, too, saying this is talking about their tanking, and how disgusting it is.

He's catching bodies everywhere, Jeffrey. Jeez. Catching bodies everywhere. Next series down the list. Braves' Mets, a four-game set, another split. Yeah. I don't mind a four-game split. It's a lot of games.

You know, both teams walk away. But you are getting worried about the Braves, Jake, that they are not winning series? It's just, we're the Atlanta Braves. I, you know, I kind of started drinking the Kool-Aid, you know, Ronald O'Kunya Jr. missed out on the playoff run last year. Like, he was going to be juiced up.

Marcelo Zuna missed out. He was back. You know, Matt Olson. My daughter, if you told me Matt Olson was doing his thing and Young Thick Austin Riley was doing his thing, which they both are this year, I'd be like, well, fuck you damn, you know, in the words of Ashton, like, we're going to be okay.

We're just not winning series. How many do you think they've won this season? I just counted. I mean, two, if that? They played eight series. Right. they've won one. That's what I'm saying.

Two, four game splits. Right. So they're not losing every series. It looks like they just can't get momentum. They haven't had a three-game win streak this year. Like, they just can't get the train out of the station a little bit. This is their formula. What are you talking about?

They just did this last year. They don't care. That's true. It's still really early. I do want to say Matthew Zimmerman, the chat mentioned, and I had forgotten about this. series the Mets didn't win all year. So that's the opposite of what you're talking about there.

Yeah, we had one of those in the AL as well. But get on the Mets. Yeah, no, Treve, I love what you just said. You know, it's going to be June and Brave fans are going to be around 500 and the Mets will have a big lead in the division and they'll say, okay, we did this last year. Let's just run it back. run it back but yeah

Mets doing the damn thing also I had a caller earlier today on baseball they talked to me about Austin Riley how he guys when are we going to put him in the

start talking about him with the top third baseman in league I said well kind of already are but I got to do it for longer but what he's come out

and done so far this season I mean he's cementing himself as one of the best third baseman in baseball and remember before last season we challenged him like what are you going to do

young king Young Thick, are you going to come and show out? And he did. He's doing it again now. And, you know, he's a big part of why the Brazier even, you know, treading water right now. You do that third basement full scope, which you know I love. And it's a crazy, talented position in the MLB right now.

Yeah. And I guess it's funny when you pull yourself in other people's shoes, you know, Young Thick, Austin Riley is now going back-to-back seasons with an OPS in the Nines. Brains just won a World Series. He's like a cornerstone future franchise piece. He's got a nice peach on him too. Did anybody take Carasco for later on?

I did. Okay, we'll talk about him later then. Teaser. I did take it. Like they freaking need him. My goodness. Mets. Good for the Mets.

I was a comeback last night. Talk about that on Monday, though, you know. Yeah, it's just not, you know. part of this. Because we kind of have to talk about Kelsey Winger's rocks. They met her, I mean, you know, I want Kelsey to have some free time to do stuff with us. Right.

We got some things that we want to plan, but I don't know if you're the Rockies, you can let her go on vacation again. Is that the only time they've lost? I mean, if you want to win some money gambling, like when Kelsey's wedding. Yeah, when Kelsey's getting married. Rockies will lose.

Rockies will lose. She is the mojo in Colorado. Had a good conversation with Kelsey last night talking about it rocks a little bit. Obviously, our friend of the company, Randall Gritchick, sends his best. Yes. He's bawling out. And there's word on the street that Connor Joe is a fan of what we're doing. Well, I'm a fan of him.

I'm a fan of his name, for sure. I don't know anything about his, like, if Kelsey vouches for him, then I'm a fan of him. Right. But Mr. Joe? Yeah. I am a fan of that for sure. Get you a shirt that just says Mr. Joe. What are the Rock you do them do so well?

I don't know. I don't think so. I mean, a players union? You think I can do a shirt that says Mr. Joe, Trev? Yeah. You think anyone has? There's a lot of Joe's out there. See. T-shirt, Mr. Joe.

Ah, there's like I-heart Joe T-shirts. Similar concept. I didn't know that he spelled it with an O. Conor Joe. Connor Joe, yeah. Conner's a name that can get spelled a lot of different ways. One end, two ends, double O, O, E. My first Connor I met as a youth was an ER,

so I assumed all Conner's where he are. And now every Conner since has been OAR for me. I just know that goes a lot of ways. Can you tell me how the name Connor is trending in the United States? Yes, I will. have a website that. Well, what spelling do you want?

Exactly. Give me the OR, because you're telling me that's the one that's going on nowadays. I want to see what's going on. So, okay,

so the Connor Joe, OR, BBD, if I put this on there, can you share it? And then we will get back to, the guys, don't even worry,

we'll get back to baseball, but, um, it had a huge, huge bump in 1992. We're talking, we're talking, we're talking,

this name was nowhere to be seen in 82, 900. And then by 92, we crack the top 100. And the staying power of Conner since 92 has been kind of just unbelievable. I'll say it's starting to trend down. If it gets out of the top 100, I'm worried for the Connors. We're close, yeah. So that seems, that's got to be the most common spelling then, C-O-N-N-O-R.

Yeah. I can. I think there's one end Conners and then there's E.Rs. One and Connor. They're never cracked the top 200 in the U.S. That looks more Irish when I just see it. If you combine all the Conners, it's a popular name. Yeah, it's more popular than you would guess.

ER, that looks so odd to be now. I'm just going to call and say it. I'm not a fan of the name Connor. Oh. you just don't like things that are great you see the staying power to like think of the first three letters

con like this is a con man dude I don't that's that's what I my brain goes to that right away your con man is just short for confidence man and you're all about confidence that's not where I go with it that's not where he goes with it good for the I mean

I never just never seen a 10 year jump like that and then to stay oh 20 is very 30 it's very impressive Now, Shnade O'Connor, that's one I can get on board with. I bet. Yeah. Creep. Half our audience has no idea who that is.

CJ Crone continues staying hot. Six hits Homer. That's the name I don't like. CJ or Crone? Crone. Yeah. The way it's spelled and all that's just like, what? Nobody really pitches in this series, if we're being on.

Outside Eric Fetty, good for him. And Gomer. Nice start. But, yeah, rocks, rocks, a team that's winning series, Jim. Reverse Atlanta. Besides when Kelsey went away. Seven people, league average or above in OPS Plus in the Rock East lineup. I'm like, how are they winning?

They're hitting the ball. They have a fun team. If you remember when we did their... Oh, wow. Someone in the chat put it together, Terminator came out in 84. Ah, nice. The sequel is Terminator 2, John Connor, C-O-N-N-O-R.

Wow. I love when shit like that happens. Rockies are first in batting average, first and OPS, second on base. And yeah, when we looked at their lineup during the team PPP, we were like, okay, Charlie Blackman, Gritchick, Crone, McMahon. Like, they had this kind of weird,

They signed Iglesias. It was kind of like a weird video game team that you played against them. You're like, I still think I'm going to win, but this is a funky little group. But they're winning ball games right now. Unlike the Marlins, they're on a four-game loser. Well, when you run into an unstoppable force, what do you do?

Pablo Lopez wins, you know, a pedal, and then goes 4.2, three earned. Not a great start from him. And then I think Rogers, your guy also. Rockies handled him. Meanwhile, they lose bum on game three after one inning have to piecemeal the whole game. Lavella doesn't care.

We got it. Diamondbacks bullpen is... Diamondbacks pitching staff is bizarre to me. What if I told you the Arizona Diamondbacks are second and starting pitcher ERA? Is that put a little lead in your pencil? Well, I know that bum's been really good And we know that Gallon has the ability

But I'd wonder Merrill Kelly Almost got a pedal. Merle Kelly's been the guy, yeah. He almost peddled up. Umberto Castellanos with five-shoddy this series. All these old guys are just figuring stuff out, man. That's what I'm saying. I mean, their bullpen trev is the same thing.

I mean, Ian Kennedy. Uh, And then who's the other, the other, uh, he's hurt now, but Malanson. Malanson when I was watching, I was like, ah. And then Joe Mantiplies a fun name in Yankees lore. Caleb Smith also. Just these names. I'm like, that's who's doing it?

It's who's helping? And our, my king, our short king, Dalton Varshot, deserve some love this year. Uh, having a nice season, man. And we play for rings in the desert, so. Zach Gallin came out Talked a little shit to Jess Chisholm I thought that was interesting I guess last year

You know They got traded for each other obviously Could hear about it later Last year Oh you're gonna talk about all this Could be heard about later yeah Might be heard about later When is this

When did you decide to do this Right when I started talking about it? No At the bottom of the sheet That's filled out before the show You look at But that's fine Oh you just wrote that

Oh my gosh Yeah, before the show. I won't say anything about it because Jake stole my thought process. It's okay. Okay. Pavin Smith, big home run. Another name, not into it at all. Yeah.

Yeah, it's gone a little too far. Might be my least favorite first name in baseball. Pavin. Now, Trev, you said you're on the umpire side in the Mad Bum thing? You want to dive into that? That was something else. You haven't talked about it here yet? No, no, but we should.

What are your thoughts? I mean, it's just ridiculous. I said on baseball today, like I've done that move before. Like when I'm pissed at my kids, like, okay, I gave the example, like, I'm mad. Like they messed around the shower, like took too long or like screwed everything up. I'm handing him a towel. I put my hand out, but my eyes are looking at them. I want them to make eye contact with me before they take this tout so they know how pissed off I am at them.

Sometimes as a parent, that's all you need. That's definitely, it's a parent move. Yeah, even if you have dogs. Exactly. He was waiting for eye contact so he could let Madbom know that he was disappointed and mad that Madbom was not okay with the strike zone. It's like, bro, you weren't even fucking part of this. You weren't even part of this.

Get out of here. And like to like the way he was holding his hand, like, hmm, halfway through Mad Bum's not acknowledging that he's staring at him and he does that little tilt like it's subtle but he does that little like get under Madbund's brim and then Madbam looks up like

what? What's happening? What's happening? I am on the side that I do think Mad Bum would earmuffs fuck him up. Not that I want that to happen but if we're if we're you know handicapping the fight and I would take

shock with the Mad Bum there. There's people responding is getting all the responses to the breakdown and stuff saying like, well, Medbom deserved it. He said he was going to fuck him up. I was like, that happened after. Still, like, probably, like, I don't think, I do think in sports sometimes we just allow someone to become unhinged

and then we just, like, say it's okay because the first wrong was the umpire. Like, Madbom probably shouldn't be yelling. I'm going to fuck you up repeatedly. Um, but he didn't say anything. All he said to the home plate ump was like, you know, I had that guy out earlier. It was kind of benign as he was walking. It wasn't screaming in his face. Isn't that exactly the reaction that you think Dan was looking for?

Yeah. And then he, he, after he threw him out and bad, Madbom was like, what? He drops, I didn't say a word. So he had it planned in his head. I'm not going to say a word, but I'm going to instigate him. So in my report, I can write, I didn't say a word.

You know what I mean? Like he had it all mapped out. And supposedly this happened in 2018 or 29. where Madbum got a... Madbom got ejected for arguing with an umpire and then the next game, Bolino

squeezed Madbom like crazy as kind of a message like, you know, you fuck with us, we'll fuck with you. And it's like, I just don't know if that's what the whole thing is. Oh, that's good for the sport. It's not good for the sport. Like MLB needs to come out, man.

They need to. It's been, it's, they need to say that shouldn't happen. I don't know. They don't, I don't need like a big suspension or anything crazy, but at minimum,

they should be like, that's not how our umpire should act. Show anyone, even if they're not a sports fan. Show them that video of the umpire holding and scraping mad bum's fingers while staring at them, not saying a word,

and just get their reaction. Because it's just not, right at all. None of it's right. Sometimes I show like my Katie, my wife. Yeah. You can see this. Look at this.

What do you think about this one? Yeah. This one's pretty weird, right? Ridiculous. Madbom, the way he throws is awesome. Awesome, but also whip it.

It looks like the balls are coming out so much slower than the radar gun says like 92. And I'm like, really? What do you think Madbum's hands feel like? Is it, are they? They're tough. Oh, they're tough. Yeah. I mean, he's a, you know, he's on the four-wheeler. He's roping horses. He's, he's, he's a man. I think if he's, if someone tells him his hand gets soft, he kind of just sandpapers. There's nothing worse than having soft hands. You've got to have the calluses. What you can't even do? If I have soft hands, I just, what do you do? I love the calluses. You got to have them. I bet you your hands are so soft, Jake. I bet you're softest. hands you've ever touched.

Hush. Lotion. It actually grosses me out when I shake hands with someone that has a really soft hand. Can't be too smooth. It grosses me out. It's like, why does your hand feel like a silk pillow? I wish they were,

Treb, but I lift those heavy-ass weights at the gym that you walk past. You do. You're totally right. Oh, elliptical. I just got some arthritis, so that's cool. Them bones, baby. Those crooked hands. Let's talk some American League Baseball.

Is that all? That's all the National League series? That's the National League. That's Big Brother this series. Holy smokes. All right. Treb, you got the AO? Ready, baby. You want to put like, it's like four minutes, 37 seconds on the clock? Gotcha. One, two, one, two, three, look. My people, let me tell you what went down in the American League.

We're starting off in Toronto, Canada. Stand up, you beautiful people. Yankees took two out of three, sorry. Toronto, sit back down. Yankees won first one, three, two. they win the second one, nine one, before the Blue Jays win the third game. Two to one. We saw a lot of fun stuff in this series.

This was the, you know, guy giving the home run ball to the little kid. Derek was his name. God, I love that. But let's talk about some of the performances. The Yankee starting pitchers continue to do it. Monty goes five innings pitch with two and runs in game one. Tyone's six innings pitch with one and run matched by Yanoa in game two. And then Cortez goes four, two,

runs and then my guy, King Mikey. Three perfect endings and relief, but didn't matter because Kukuchi came out and did it for the Blue Jays, six-end pitch with one earned run. We'll talk about the stuff that went on during the games after this. There was like a tag, no tag, some stuff. I'm sure you guys got a lot of great insight on it. Yankees take two out of three, and that's a prove-it series for them, and they proved it. Moving on, the Mariners go into Houston.

and Houston starting to look like that bad, bad man. Again, they sweep the Mariners. 30407.2. The Mariners, bats, what is you doing, baby? Argya Oterese, six and two-thirds shuddy. Javier, five and one-third shutout endings in his start. And then Verlander does a damn thing with six and two-thirds, two-thirds, two earned runs. The Astros, ten extra base hits with four home runs.

The Mariners hit one, fifty, fifty, in a series with only one home run and that was their only extra base hit. Owie. Mariners get swept. Astros coming back in that division. Moving on, this one was good. The angels go into Fenway and they take two of three from the Red Sox who are kind of reeling right now.

4-0 Red Sox, they win the first game and then the Angels come back. They win it in 10, 10 to 5, before Otani shoves in the third. game and they win eight to nothing. Waka has been a bright spot for the Red Sox. He went five and two-thirds shutout innings. Syngard not so bad himself, but the Angels could not get any offense. He went seven innings pitch with three earned runs. Detmer's in the second game goes four and two-thirds with three earned runs, but the Angels scored sixth in the tenth. My guy, Tyler Ward, Taylor, I just said Taylor. My bad. Taylor Ward has a go-ahead two-run Homer, And then Walsh with a three-run homer.

They'd take that game. And then Otani, like we said, maybe he had the best game ever. Seven shutout innings, 11Ks. I believe like 80-something of his 90 pitches were strikes. O'Tonnie's on a different level, guys. Angels take two of three from the socks. We're going to Oakland.

The rays went into Oakland. What you think happened? Happened. The rays went in and swept the A's 10-1, or excuse, 6-1, 107 in 10 and then 3-0 in the last game behind a really nice cluber starts game one rasmusin goes five innings pitch one earned run our guy yarby with a tough start in game two but they came back and then cluber had that great start for them they sweep the a's and in the last series of the american league the twins went into baltimore and guess what guys they split we

don't like splits, but it was a four-game series. 2-1 twins, 7-2 twins, 9-4 Orioles, 5-3-Oreels. A lot of stuff happened. The fence is ridiculous whenever I watch the game in Baltimore. I can't get over the fact that they did that. It's so dumb.

Let's talk about these games in a second. That is what happened in the American. Let's start in Baltimore because I didn't really recap it. Okay. Okay. There's some big news coming out of Twins' camp. Carlos Carrick gets hit in the finger looking like he's going to be out for some time so they're bringing up a highly

talented guy and i've seen quite a bit of them heard quite a bit about him royce louis wow i didn't know that making the debut one of one guy um i said on baseball today that he has buxton s tools and the twins are very good at identifying like first round high ends like tool guys um they've been able to do that for quite some time. Royce is another example of it. He did have a big leg kick kind of when I saw him play. I think he's had the tame that a little bit similar to a Byron Buxton from all accounts. He's done that going bananas and AAA. So that'll be something to watch this weekend. Orioles are pesky as shit, man. You know, people might have thought it was Yankees, Red Sox smack talk or something like that the other week.

But this twin series, it doesn't surprise me at all. Like, the aurels are just tough. The top half of their lineup is legit, and they're starting to get pitching performances. They give them a chance in series. Zimmerman's off to a really nice start this season. I think we even had a little taunt of Correa. I think Austin Hayes hit him with the Correa watch.

So these Orioles are starting to taste himself a little bit. still a little below that and we want to keep that under rapos but yeah they are tough and i hate the left field too tref it's ridiculous for righty power hitters like us that's a nightmare you go apo a lot i go apo you're like a dj swing almost yeah yeah the urinals have the chain which i think is i went back and forth on baseball today about i think at first i was like yeah let them have it then i realized it's like i think it's plastic and this is the show and like if you're going to do a chain, you better do the chain. And then I realized, nobody's really making any money. So they're being frugal and I like that. So, you know, I'm up in the air about it.

Okay. I mean, I don't think the Blue Jays jacket is like an expensive jacket. But if it's a chain, it has to be an expensive chain. I would say the Blue Jays jacket probably costs in the realm of, I don't know, 500 bucks. And this chain was a, it looked like a giveaway chain that you bought outside the stadium or something for five or $10. Oh no. Oh, no. You think the jewelry guy that goes clubhouse to clubbust even goes to the Orioles? Yeah. Okay, great.

Because he's got stuff for all price ranges, baby. Black Diamond necklace. Look at this show necklace I got on. Someone tweeted out. I was Twins writers. Is it worn? I don't know. That they might have like an all homegrown lineup tonight now.

Wow, I got to check that out. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it was, uh, man, it was on my feet. the Twins reporter that I follow. Do you guys know each other? You guys know what I'm talking about? Lavelle, Brandon Warren. I think it might have been warned.

I think he might have retweeted it. So let's see. Yeah, here it is. Seth, actually he quoted it, but Seth Stoze tweeted it. Yep. Friendly that he loves our show. So shout out Seth.

Jeffers, Kirillov, Polanco, Miranda, Lewis, Larnack, is that you say it? Buxton Kepler. Now I said Winder last time. Is it Winder? Someone, people said I said it wrong. I don't know.

What's that starting pitcher's name? Josh. I thought it was Winder. I said, wind, I don't know. Anyway. Winder. Winder. Okay.

Opie Dinder. Whoops. That's cool. Go the homegrown twins go. Um, I think we're kind of going up the list here, which is fine on our end. And by the way, guess who's back? Back again. The Razor back.

Tell a friend. Scared of them? Not full-blown, scared. Standings, Yankees are in first in the East, twins are in first in the Central. Angels are in first in the West. Sorry, I forgot to do that. The Central still only has one team above 500,

which still is jarring to see. Mariners, what is you doing, baby? The raise, for me, Jim, and correct me if I'm wrong in the ALEs, the Yankees and Jays got off to their hot start, and it was like, okay, Yankees Jays, and it kind of built up to this series that we'll talk about in a minute.

The Rays and the Red Sox were both kind of meandering a little bit. The Red Sox had been a little worse than the Rays, but they were both kind of drifting, like Rays dropped a couple sets, and you're like, I don't know. Now, as we get close to, like, what would be the true one-month point part of the season, and here are the Rays, 16 and 10.

They just took care of their business. They swept the lowly out. athletics and they won last night's game against the Mariners that we're not talking about. But the rays are back in the mix. They were never going to be out in the mix. But, you know, seeing them six games above 500, I think that's important for the early baseball season. Yeah, I mean, their losing stretch was like really early.

What are they 11 and 4 in their last 15? Something like that. They've been winning. Oakland, on the other hand, they thought they were going to trick people for a little bit, but now they've lost a bunch. I think they're stuck at 10 wins. They get swept. Which good.

They got more cats than fans in the stadiums. And it's not a knock on the fans. They have a pretty... That's a compliment to the cats. They have a pretty good fan base. Those cats are fugging. Yeah. And Kluber's been good for them.

We get sent stuff all the time, or at least I do, about Oakland fans. And they're like, this is a boycott. This is not what's going on. You know, like you can paint it a lot of different ways in the media. like they have no fans get out of Oakland but it's like no the fans are just sick of what's going out with the team time and time again they have to go through rebuilds like this and how could you

want to be part of that they don't they don't they don't I guess that's the answer moving on up the list I want to send a little dick punch okay if you remember raised fans got a little rowdy with me they traded Austin Meadows that really yeah set me off yeah and all the raise fans said oh we'll they're calling up Josh Lowe, dude, he's really good. He did get sent back down, and I wish Josh Lowe the best in a great Major League career. But playing Major League Baseball is really fucking hard, especially if you're a rookie. I've dropped a few F-bombs, say, I'm hot. Did you even go-you-y?

I haven't even go-ed yet. I'm saving that for the second half of the show off. I'm going to do your trick. Nah, gooch it. All right, so the Rays are good. The angels are good, man, and they're not only good. They're fun to watch, which they should have been for the last five years, and they've had the talent forever.

and now it's kind of coming together. And as much as they have all those stars, the pitching's been good. But also, man, they kind of like, they filled the cracks nicely. And also, Ward is insane. But they lose the first game to the Red Sox. Sindegaard pitches, pretty good line.

Sevenings pitch, three and runs. But Waka for the Sox shuts them down. They win game two in extras and absolutely, like, an embarrassing extras fashion. They score six in the 10s. 10th and come back in the 9th to tie it and then score 6 in the 10th. And then Otani has his way with them in game 3. And the Angels, if it's early for one team, it's early for everyone, but you've got to love what you're seeing.

And they're like winning in fun ways. The vibes are good. They're leading in categories that I like. They're playing a style of baseball that I think is sustainable and good. So that's pretty fun to see. Trev, your halos? I'm just searching. I want to see the lineup of this game.

Yeah, so Taylor Ward, he enters the game as a pinch hitter in that extra inning game. And then I tweeted about the home run. There was a 3-1 pitch by it was a Barnes, I believe. Yeah, by Barnes. And when you have Mike Trout, Shohei Otani, and Anthony Rendon behind you, and you have a 3-1 count as Taylor Ward, as hot as he has been, been one of the best hitters in the big leagues you get in a heater and taylor ward time that son of a gun up as best as he could and put just a beautiful swing on it that's got to feel

good for him when you're up in those situations you know they're going to challenge you man and you know you can get big sometimes and not everyone can handle you know being challenged like that You know, you have to stay within yourself. And I know that sounds a little silly. Like, dude, they're just throwing you fastball. It's easy to hit. It's like, no, well, you can try to get big, especially in Fenway. That left field wall, taught to anybody that's played there.

Like, if you start trying to bang balls over that thing, you're going to run into some problems. You're going to get exposed. Like, the Red Sox pitchers know how to pitch to it, except where's Barnes going to go there? And Ward put that swing on. It was beautiful, man. They are their fun team to watch. Like you said, James, they got the superstars. never they never thought ward was going to do this for them and that's the one he's you know we talk about the pitching and yeah the pitching has been great and we're happy for them because my god they've needed that but they're not where they are right now without chair the ward not even close taylor ward being another mike trout has been important to their good start uh watch i mean it's crazy anthony randone's starting to go i mean jared walsh can bat six for them on a given day like it's all looking good there i'm interested to track their bullpen right now eglacius

to pair and loop at the top are kind of doing their thing. Outside of that, it starts getting a little thin that as this season does, we get further and further away from the season's just starting. I wonder if they're a team that like, hey, things are clicking. Maybe if you can address another bullpen piece early in the year, but don't wait to the trade deadline, I could see that being important for a team like this.

Show Hey God. Kurt Suzuki, people mention the chess. saw that too. Like first base. Never in his big league career. He played any other position besides D.H. and catcher. But he got an inning in it first base.

So congratulations. Kurt. He's still freaking doing it. I wonder, he used to do these things on the, do you know what it's like a Swiss ball is? Like a Bosu ball? Yeah.

Or it's like a Swiss, Swiss ball. Not the Bosu ball. The Swiss ball. He does, he has these things with these weights where he's like moving his body all crazy on him to stay like limber

and have his movement right. And he's like found this routine. And essentially it's been the felt and a youth for this guy. I'm like, gosh. Not a chance to win a World Series this year. Not much more. I love more than a weird workout. You'd love this.

Yeah. Anywhere crop top doing it. Yeah. Hot. Right up your alley. How many teams do you think have players with three or more steel? Like with multiple players with three or more steals. Three.

or more. So you need two plus guys with three or more steals. The angels have four guys with three or more steels this early. And I feel like that's high. They have, they have, maybe it's more than that. They have,

one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. They have eight guys with nine, oh, fucking shit. Never mind. All right. What? I control F'd Los Angeles. because the first couple were angels,

but the Dodgers are coming up too. So it was like a ridiculous number. And I'm mad that both teams have the same city and baseball reference doesn't differentiate that. So that's what just happened. Angels second in the ALE on some basis. They steal a lot and it's not just like one dude with six steals. Nine or something, yeah.

They have five guys with two steals or more. They have four guys with three steals from row. I think that probably is one of the most spread out stolen-based team. Because Wade and Velasquez are getting a ton of run. Lasquez is a starting shortstop except against righties, I think. Offensive numbers aren't there. So they're just going speed and glove. I go watch him play defense all day, though.

Yeah. Trev, Red Sox fan? Are we hitting the panic button? I mean, still early? Like, there's still a run in this team. It's just they're looking up at some really. really good teams in front of them. That's the,

if, if this was a team and they were in like the AL Central or something like that, like, hey, man, we just need to get on a run

and go, but having to leapfrog the type of teams that are in front of them, I think it's, it's going to be a daunting challenge for that. I mean,

I didn't have them making the playoffs. I think I said they're going to be a 500 ball club at the beginning of the year just because I didn't really believe in their pitching. And you know what? The pitching has been okay.

It's been the offense. It's been bad. So, I guess I think there's a run in there. You know, Alex Cora, you guys always referenced. You can get the boys rallied around something. Maybe he finds something for that. But it's,

it's seeming like it's going to be a tough task for them to get ahead of either, any of those teams. Yeah, some of the numbers are sad to look at. Like Verdugo. I root for Verdugo. I like him. Kike. I root for Kike.

I like him. And they're offensive numbers now. are, they're like really bad. They, I mean, I don't know if you've seen Bobby Dalbacks.

Yikes. So, thought it would be the pitching, too. I don't know what's going on there. All I know is Red Sox are fans that we know. I'm not excited. They're not happy.

Yeah. They're miserable. You need some juice, man. Speaking of, Astro sweet. Astro sweet, but also, last episode I asked like it feels like the Mariners are losing series. I think they've lost their

last three now and the Astros are good and can be it in a lot of ways. They went, Astros went to that six-man rotation through this stretch. Let me see how deep are we through the stretch of like they had like 32 games out of 33 days or something. So it's pretty good to start that off with good pitching performances and not overuse and getting some wins. So good for them there because I all I think they added Christian Javier was he the guy that got bumped up to be the sixth starter and did he pitch in the series or did Garcia wasn't your a hell yeah it's Javier good for him Astros are scary you're on flexen flexen still does this thing he's been really good for them mariners you know they just didn't hit it all in this series and

whether that's you know the Astros having good pitching partly true but it looks like they're hitting an offensive role here. And you can't do that against the Astros at home. Javier, last two starts, combined 10.1 innings, two earned runs. So not a bad guy to just say, hey, we need a sixth starter in the rotation. A lot of teams can't do that. Can't just bring up a six starter and feel comfortable. And then he performs.

And I think he will because he's good. Verlander's the other story. I mean, it's not surprising. He's a Hall of Fame. He's one of the best pictures of his generation. and I gave him the exemption from Tommy John comeback woes. And I mean, his, I think he's got like a two ERA or something and just throwing pitches and... Looks gross.

Being who he is. So good for Justin. I say two ERA? Sorry, 193. 193. Yeah. Sindergarde pitching well. Shout out halos.

He is. Got the only loss. Also invested in Jumbo Media. So did he really lose? I got to talk to this guy. I don't know how to feel about Noah yet. What would you say? I like him.

What would you say? I'm Trevor Plouffe. I would. That's up, Noah. And that's it. I see where it went from there. Okay.

All right. He likes like read books. Do you think he actually reads books? I like to read books? Yeah, but like do you think he's one of those guys that says he reads books but doesn't read him? Like LeBron? Like LeBron's always carrying the godfather around.

I think he reads. He got so much downtime. He's a starting pitcher. that's true we're all we're all going to have friction because of that Treb did you hear that when they went to extra innings Madden wanted to get Lorenzen up yeah but he had already flew earlier

all I did was think of you right away it's like oh wow can't be with a team because you've got to get a good night's sleep dude so soft we used to make so much fun of guys that would do that like oh it's the sixth inning is it getting a little too late for you to wake up tomorrow morning for your one o'clock start.

Okay. It's so brutal. Do you need your own personal flight? It's brutal. Starting pitchers have like had too much pull. Treb, you've totally persuaded me into being like the whole entire baseball world caters to starting pitchers.

Everything. The entire world. Everything is for them. And they play once a week. Don't get me going on this, but I was just like to shout out J.P. Crawford. You got me going. I hear these things. And I've heard pitchers doing that for my whole life.

And I never once heard it. And I was like, that's soft. Travis got to hate that. I hate it so much. Yankees give the Blue Jays their first loss of the season. Series loss. Series loss. Both teams pitched pretty well.

The Yankees took advantage of some poor defensive play by the Blue Jays. Then the Ump missed one call on the Yankees took four. fully advantage of that in game two. Game three was a good game. Kakucci and Cortez. It's Yankees. That base is loaded one-run game at the end, and they get the out.

And game three was tied going to the ninth inning, and the Yankees took the lead. So it was pretty, that middle game looks lopsider, but it was one-one going into the seventh or end of the six or something like that. So it was a pretty close series. Blue Jay's defense was weird in that second game.

Bichette's made a lot of errors, and Vladdy plays an odd first base. I actually want to ask like a player about that. He jumps off the bag, Trev, to catch balls. Like if he thinks that the runner, runner's safe anyway, he kind of just comes off the bag to catch it. But it just seems like in a stretching motion

or just like you gave up on it. Just gives up on it. He did it like three times. And I don't think the runner would be safe, but I think, you know, the runner misses the bat. I don't know. I just think you, like I've never seen a first base and just do that.

that often. It's like he was taught it. It's like he was taught to come off the bag if, you know, ensure the catch kind of, but he's almost like overdoing it. So I don't know if it's a learning process or what, but I don't, I've never been taught to come off the base. I mean, you know, maybe a throw in the dirt, you square up to it. There's certain situations where your footwork is definitely different at first base, depending on where the ball is in the infield. but I think I know what you're referencing. I did see him do it a few times and I think that's something he probably should not do.

Yeah, it didn't really cost the Blue Jays a game anyway. I'm glad he's a fucking beast and he's awesome. It's just saying I noticed it's like, that's weird. Why does he do that so much? And even like the last out, he scoops it. He just is not a first baseman yet. He still like scoops in ways where it looks like he's just like making do, not doing how first baseman would.

But Beau's got a lot thrown. yours. Yes. And the Yankees pitching is really good. So that's that. You guys want me to walk you through what happened in the IL? I got some games here. Need it. Here we go. White Sox and the Cubs played for the Battle of Chicago. White Sox won game one. Three to one. They win game two, four to three. White Sox had three home runs. The Cubs did not really hit. That's it. Gialito, three run runs,

struck out 10. Hendricks 5.2, four in runs. Pollock had the go-ahead RBI single in the sixth inning of game two to get him to win. I think Abraeu hit a home run. Also, Brayu hit a ball that counted as a hit.

Shortstop gets it. He gets them out. Ba, blah, blah, blah. White Sox sweep the two games. Padres play the MLB barometers, guardians, and split a two-game set. So Padres is you good? I don't know.

I don't know. Clevenger pitch is in his return. Four point two innings pitch, three earned runs. Plesaq goes against him. He allows four. Quantrell and Gore in the second game. And Gore, five point two innings pitch, one earn run. Good for him.

Kwan had a walk-off single in the 10th, letting everyone know he's coming for a second pedal. What about that. Rangers and Phillies. The Rangers' service. swept the Phillies in a two-game set. So we use in the word sweeps a little loose for me, but they win the two games. Again, the second game in extra innings.

In backyard, Brad had to go ahead two-run single. And the 10th, Wheeler had a really nice outing in game two. Suarez, my dude, he allowed some runs. Come on. The Phillies lose. Phillies are having a weird season. I don't know what to make of it. Cardinals take two out of three from the Royal.

Is that the Battle of Missouri? Kansas? I don't know. They're close. Michael A. Taylor, wild home run robbery catch. How about that? Goldie hit a home run. Keller had a nice outing on the bump.

Wayno had a really nice outing on the bump. Pirates and Tigers split. They're double-header, so it was a two-game set. Both games took place in the same day. One team won, one game. The other team won. other game, that's about as useless of a day you can have. Bottom.

There you go. What's what happened? A lot of interleague. Yeah, I didn't realize we had a full interleague, Jim. I know, and we're running longer. I didn't realize it was this full as well. But yeah, the White Sox win. They're two games.

Tigers, Pirates, split. You can't really talk about that. Can't really talk about that. Sorry, tigers and pirates fans, but like nothing happened. Well, they were mean to Cole Tucker. I don't like that. They're in social media team. Yeah, oh, the Tigers are dead to us.

What do they do? Yeah. Cole had a strikeout where he had a tough blitzball swing on it. It's a bad look. And then they hit him with like a Vanessa Hudgens meme. Wait, what? So I kind of went at the Tigers and like they're on my shit list. They're out.

What are they? I'm out. Too many belt loops anyway, you freaking losers? They're out. I'm just kidding. I actually like the Tigers. Also, they're not winning baseball games. So that's a problem in Detroit. Wait. But the, oh.

Tiger social media is awful anyway. Ooh. Face. They are. They are the... No, no, it's the Indians. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. It's the Guardians. Social media. That's awful. On purpose. They, like, think it's cool to be bad. They're awful. Tigers, sorry.

I got you confused in the Central. But don't be doing... It's... I want to remember this summer, but not like this, Troy. And then Cole Swanson... It's kind of... It was kind of funny,

but just because it's our friend. It's because our friend. I thought it was going to be... I thought it's... There's enough humor in there. I get it, but still. Jelly, maybe. Tiger social media team.

Be a little more jealous. Your girlfriend at the fucking Met Gala, looking like a dark angel? I don't think so. You also, Tigers, you guys spent $200 million this offseason and you have a worse record than the Pirates so far. Oh. You're mad.

Yeah. Jake's mad. They cross my guy. Jake's mad. You know, I've unfollowed people for Treve. Yeah. Look at the shit I'm doing for you. Look at all this.

It's supposed to be a fucking Yankees podcast. Now they're writing articles and shit. Just wanted a side hobby. What? Now it's this whole fucking thing. 50 people here, Trev. I don't know why you're talking about. You wouldn't know half the names of the people in the office right now.

Kopeck. We're hiring a different person every day. What are you complaining about to me for? It's not, no, I was just, I'll fight you right now. It was mostly I wanted you to come out to, I miss you and I want you to meet the people at the office. Dude.

Let's plan something. You can I talk about Kopeck a little bit? You were following the Tigers and you unfollow them? No, I was referenced in a previous story. Okay. What do you want to say about Kopeck? Five games started, 23 innings pitched. He's only given up three earned runs.

to a 117. It's about as good as you can hope for it for the White Sox. And I know they've kind of been in a shitter. Their season hasn't gone the way. They wanted to go. But I think things are still looking up. Still like them. Still really like this White Sox team.

I think there's lots of good baseball left in them. And Kopec's going to be a big breeze. I was looking at all the game logs of the White Sox. And now I don't... This is genuine. So don't get mad at me, White Sox fans. I'm asking you, I saw that Tony Larusa is now adopting the three-batter minimum rule, and he's using a pitcher to end the inning.

And then you can start in the next inning and pull him after one, or you cannot even start in the next inning. His first year in the first half, he, like, didn't really get that rule. There was, like, sometimes where he's just like, what? Is this a new thing? Is he just having so much fun now? Because when the Yankees figured out how to do that, they like went too crazy.

They like love. They still kind of love bringing a guy in for the last out because then he can only face one or two batters and you can do that. So is Tony like reach into this bag of tricks and he's going to be doing this now? Because if you look at their game log, there's got two guys I think that only pitch

like less than three batters or less than three out. So it's curious. He unlocked the code. That rule kind of stinks. It helps. It helps because the one, face a bad or hum-out pitching change was bad. But I wonder if there's a different way to circumnavigate that.

Anyway. Got us Jerry Blevins, so. Cardinals beat the Royals. Cardinals beat the Royals. Cardinals are good. Cardinals are good. Jack Flaherty still hasn't been there yet. But he's making his way back.

And the Rangers win two against the Phillies. Our guy Taylor Hearn was in the office yesterday, and then I saw him at the Rangers playoff game. He said the boys are starting to feel good. Pitching's coming around, the hitters are going. Go Texas go. What's up with the Phil? Is we doing the Phil's or what, man?

No, I don't know because I don't know what to make of them right now. It's almost like I don't either. I need another month to figure out what's going on in Philadelphia. I still think they're a good team. Obviously, everyone's thinking about what happened last night, which was, I think, more of, like, the Mets doing something really cool than the Phillies doing something really bad. I understand, like, you don't want your bullpen to blow a game,

but Knavel's like a guy, he'll be fine. And they were just putting him good at bats. Yes, yes. But also the first ball is put in play and should be an out. And then there's one back to the pitcher that squeaks through. That was the one back to him. if he could have it back, obviously. He ends the game.

Back to Kniebel, but then the first at bat of the inning was a high bounce that they didn't make. So, like, the Phillies also had the, they induced the chances to end that game. They did not. And then the Mets fucking bludgeoned him for it. Like, they had some really big hits and good base running as well. Philly's got some signs of, I mean, when everything clicks, it's beautiful. They have the high-end pitchers. They have the high-end offense.

If one or the other is not there, though, then you need your defense or you need something else to help get you through that game, and that's kind of not how they're built as of now. So I don't know. Circle the Phillies for the next month. I like that. We have a cool note here from Max.

Ranger Swara is pitched against the Rangers. First player to face a team that shares his first name since Angel Miranda in 1966. Looks like Cespitus, family. barbecue tweeted that out nice max also told me you're going to want to check out the philly schedule i'm going to want to check out the philly schedule schedule pod now okay i love that i love that note for max love a good schedule they got mariners oh west coast dodgers they got podres they got dodgers you got atlanta they got met oh giants they get giants brewers angels second place

diamondbacks for that point. Holy shit. Okay, Philly. Hey, put up or shut up, baby. This is a big part of their season right here. Some might say this is their season. That's a tough. What's the successful? I mean, that's like 15 games. 500

500. 500. Yeah. Stay alive. That's a tough stretch. Damn. Stay alive. You know what? This team doesn't give a fuck. I swear they don't. I know that they're sitting, what, four games under 500? They don't care.

There's enough talent there that they're going to go out there and play these games. They don't think they're going to go 500. I think they're going to win a bunch of games, and at least they have that mentality. Toughest schedule so far, Baltimore Orioles. Can't play yourselves. They're pesky. They aren't the tops.

Also, after last night, Phillies have Scherzer. So how do you respond? I think this has been a good game to watch, you know, like. Catch a ball throw up. But, like, sure is already scary, but like, also what happened last night? Harper Shorber, three home runs last time. I'd go, sure. I'd give, I'd give, I'd go buntz right back to Scherzer first inning.

And just fuck with his head. You know, you got to go to the confusion game. You take the first inning. you give it to him and you have the first three batterers just bunt, bad bunt, right back to Scher

and not even run to first and get in his head a little bit. Someone said the game already got rained out. Fayo said that. Even better. Yankston. I mean, that's a team

that could use the rain out. Yeah. Nick Kowal says Trev loves to be anti-Mets and pro bad teams. What? Everyone, I hate every team,

according to every team's subreddit. Like I just saw I heard, I saw I hated the the Cubs the other day. And then I was like, I hated the Indians. I was like, what?

The Tops. Moving on. Second half of the show, we're going to give out some standout performances. Standout. Performances. Standole performances. Trevor, are you leading us off? Jake.

No way. It's me, Jim, and it's going to Cookie. Carrasco. You guys know I like to start off my meals with some cookies. Eight innings pitch, six hits, five strikeouts, two walks, no earned runs against the Atlanta Braves. 96 pitches, and there's a couple stories lines for me here. When you talk about the Mets, you talk about a lot of guys before you get to Cookie Carasco these days. Whether you're just talking about the pitching staff or the lineup, McGill's been so big for them, Bassett, Scherzer.

Karka RASCO has it, which by the way, he is now sitting at a 3-3-E-R-A after his first five starts of the season. He drops it versus the Atlanta Braves. And a reminder that Cookie Carasco is also a couple years removed from leukemia, cancer. Cancer scare going on. So it's awesome that he's back. And, man, like Carlos Carrasco, that's a guy who's got, go check out that baseball reference. he's had a couple MLB seasons in the bag.

He dropped it against the Braves and what does it mean for his season and how it ties into the whole 2020 New York metropolitans. But Cookie Carrasco, that's a guy you should be rooting for either way. Should. Fun. Love it. I do love Cookie.

Fun to watch, pitch, good person. You guys must have some history, right? Yeah, I don't think I fared too well against him. He threw hard with a good slider, good like slurvy pitch. Definitely a difficult guy, not a lot of same arm slots and ball is going different places. Pretty good. Where's your ball going for your standout performer? I am taking someone who's on the audition stage every night.

I don't even think he's really on a team. It's more like, hey, man. Like, do you guys want me? Who wants me the most? It's Frankie Montas. He goes seven innings versus the Tampa Bay raise, four hits, six Ks. Brings him brings the ERA down to three, four, four. He's had two not so good starts.

The rest of them have been phenomenal. The thing I like about Frankie is he's throwing pitches. Like he's going, like he's, the least amount of pitches he's thrown is 83. Mostly 92, 96, 96, last 903 pitches. So he's healthy. he's ready to go and every single night he goes out there and pitches it's just an audition for some other team so people are liking what they're seeing and i just want people you know keep frankie in your thoughts because yes he's playing in oakland right now and you know they're

going to be where they're going to be which is you know third or fourth or fourth or fifth in the division um is there five teams that division i'm tripping out right now i'm not even high frankie not even good job dude against the race, who are you going to be pitching for? We will see July. July. July. July.

My standout performer is a guy who's probably gotten a ton and will continue to get a ton. Shohei Otani. Trev, you heard rumors best game ever? Ever? In Fenway, I don't know. A lot of games been played there. but he diced up.

Actually, dude, the Red Sox had runners on like almost every inning, but he didn't matter. He gave up six hits, but he struck out 11. He didn't walk a single batter. Didn't give up a run. Seven innings pitched. Also had an RBI. Score to run. Threw a 100 mile per hour fastball.

Obviously, his swing and miss numbers and called strike numbers on his secondary pitches are kind of silly. Like he had a college strike or swing and miss, 67% on his curveball, only through nine of them, but pretty well placed, I gather. And on his slider, 59% strike or strikes called strike or strikes swinging. So the efficiency to take your secondary pitch and it's not a show me slider, it's no, this is actually going to have a result to it or a slider, a strike or a swing strike is not bad. Not just doing it to change the eye level. He's good, that guy.

Incredible. Kind of is a show me slider. So, but it's not just like, I have this. His name, Shohei. Oh, okay. Show me, show hey. I'll read you the quote.

It's from a Sports Illustrated article. I was doing some research for baseball today. Shohei Otani. He had already hit a ball 109 miles an hour and thrown 81. of his 99 pitches for strikes. So when he strode to the plate in the eighth inning of perhaps the greatest game ever played here, he lined a fastball off the green monster so hard, he knocked his own number off the wall. And then here's a quote from Rich Hill. He's the best player in the

league. I think that's one thing everybody can pretty much unanimously agree upon. It's pretty special to see somebody like that come along. I think everyone should be really appreciating what we're seeing because it's something we haven't seen in a hundred years and we may never see it again for another 100 years. I think it's true. I don't think this is going to be a scenario where we're seeing a bunch of two-way players.

It's just not. People think that this is going to open the floodgates, start a trend. Bullshit. Bullshit. Everyone's a two-way player. Can't do it. You can't do it the way

that Shoh-Hae did it or I guess Abe Ruth did it. Sho-hay is awesome. I don't know. Good job, Shoh-ha. I just don't know. It might.

You know, July 11th, 1917. Wait, was it at Fenway or by a Boston player? Oh, okay, at Fenway. Never mind. This was on the road when Babe did this one. Might be on something. Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty crazy.

Like, really, we need to have perspective as a sport as to what we're seeing here. And we try to describe it like almost every single show. We talk about Shohei Otani. I mean, he's, how can you not? But, like, you have to have that perspective. like we are seeing something that just never happens. Just never happens. It's like it'd be like,

it'd be like who's like a, like Russell Wilson, okay? Okay. It'd be like Russell Wilson also going in like being a lockdown corner. Starting pitcher also just banging the ball around, like playing both sides of the ball. It's, it's, you can't even, that doesn't make sense in anyone's head. You'd never think about a quarterback going and playing the other position,

corner. But that's what Show Hay is essentially doing. Babe Ruth, June 1st, 1916. Pretty good outing at Fenway. Tell me. Tell me. Faced off against Walter Johnson, nine innings pitch. Only allowed three hits.

Struck out six. One, the game won nothing. When Dick Hobletzel pushed across the go-ahead run. I'm like not on the Babe Ruth train. I just, I'm not. Okay. It's fine. It's fine.

I get it. I get it. I keep forgetting. a Yankee. I don't think that's how little I think of Babe Ruth. I swear to God. Slump watch.

On that note, I'm out. Slump watch. We motivate some of baseball's finest players to get out of their slump and get it going. Jim, I have some good news. We ran into some slumpy slump watches

for a little bit. Yes. Dylan Carlson. uh after an 0 for 15 puts up a two for six with two walks so he's seeing the ball a 500 on base good job dylan carlson you're off buddy chew chew you guys all know that's the freight train david peralta i knew he went three for nine with a homer three rbi i walk a nice little series as they swept the fish david peralta you are off way to be kid where to be Jim, now we find ourselves in a situation.

Gio Urchella follows up his O for 13 with a one for nine. That one was an RBI double, a couple walks as well, and we just had to talk about the whole twins starting lineup, and Gio's not a part of that. So I don't really know what you want to do with Gio, our guy, cute. I don't either. Is he starting? Wasn't he platooning for a while?

I think he was playing a lot. I don't know. I thought the twins were doing kind of like a Yankees, like infield rotation type thing. I mean, they have the bodies for it. Started four out of five games in May. Yeah, he's doing that rotation. Let's leave him on.

Okay. Corre is out. They need someone to help out. No, Gio's playing. It's playing, yeah. He's playing. Gio stays. Eugenio Suarez.

Remember how excited we were for him getting going. And wow, the Mariners. They're down in dumps. He goes one for 10, that one was a homer, which is very Eugenio Suarez. Oh, I know. Well, who are they playing now? Because the Mariners need to get hot. They just had the Astros pitching, and the Astros have some good arms down there.

So they face Tampa. Ah, that's tough. Let's just bounce them. Okay. I got no expectations for him. As far as you're off, dude. Not in a great way. No, no.

And this next guy, he's off too and not in a great way. Okay. Pro Fars off. He goes one for seven. 333 on base. That's not awful. but you've never been a pro far guy. Nobody really knows why, but...

I'm not anti. I'm not... You're not a pro-far guy. No, I like saying jerkson. Jerkson. So you're still not a pro-far guy? No, I don't like... No, I would call it.

I refer to almost... You're a jerksson fan. I'm a jerkson Stan. You're jerks and stam. Jim, there's players to add Frankie Lindor, Mr. Smile, O-4-14. More like Mr. Sam. Oh.

I take that back. I'm sorry, Frankie. Salvador Perez O'Fer 13. Javier Bias O'Frey, Trent Grisham O'Frey, Avicel Garcia. Jim, I have a solution here. Yes.

I'm so anti-Tigers right now. Yeah. Slump watch is to get guys off slump watch. Oh, no. Javi, don't care for you right now. Oh, my goodness. And we've got four other guys that we can add. Okay.

Wow. Sorry, Doug. You're mad. I'm big mad at the Tigers. You're mad. It does seem like low-hanging fruit. It's low-hanging fruit. It seems unnecessary.

And like, there's a right and a wrong way to do that, Tigers. Yeah. Wow. Robot just laugh. The robot laughed. It was weird. So, Gio Orchella, Frankie Lindor,

they're friends, former Indians teammates, now the Guardians. Yep. Big Sal Perez, we love them. Trev's got all his Sal Perez stories. Trent Grisham, we like him, and big Avicale Garcia. We'll get them off Slump Watch.

I love it. Get them out of there. Fuck the Tigers. Oh, no. The reason I can't talk shit about the Tigers, I'm pretty sure, like, career stats-wise, they kind of owned me. I'd assume.

I hit some freaking homers there. I hit some homers. Whatever. Maybe not. Screw the Tigers. Worst record in the AL. tweet mean things about a guy for having a popular girlfriend. But city of Detroit, I love the city of Detroit.

I do. So specifically just that one intern that ran social media think, don't like you. July 5th, 1915, game duration, one hour, 58 minutes. Babe Ruth, nine innings pitch, zero earned runs. Also had two runs score to hit, A walk on the day.

My, my, decent game. My rival, Tonny. Decent day at the park. Six nothing game. One hour,

58 minutes. 7,000. You guys in the Babe Ruth thing. Like, you're still like, he's like a god to you? No, I know.

Just like, he was, he was curious. He was very good in his time. He's legendary. He's Babe Ruth. Legend, yeah. Yeah.

He is, obviously. Yeah. Big penis. On Babe. He heard that. Dark nasty's on Fuego. That means I'm on fire, baby.

Like Waco. Friend of the podcast, Routy, Routy Teles, he went off. Seven for 15, three homers, 10,

ribby steaks. I see you, Billy Ripkin, hip. Jared Walsh, five for 12, couple homers. Why'd you guys laugh?

Uh, but boys. Cedric Mullins, six for 17. Willie Adamas. The Brewer's team kind of went off. Big Jesus Aguilar, we love when he's having a good time, and he sure does when he's going seven for 13.

C.J. Cronzone, 6 for 11. Yelly, 5 for 11. Moose Tacos, Trev. You boy. You boy, Moose, 5 for 11. And how about Giebert Ruiz, the young Nats catcher, 5 for Nats. Get going. Trev, do you own his cards?

Believe it. So many of his rookie cards. They all have the Dodger logo on him because that's who he used to play for. Mike Mousontas, Malibu, Mike. Let's go, baby. Screw the Reds. We love you. That's good.

He's the king of Malibu. I know. There's so many Malibu dudes, man. I didn't put that together. Not an investor. Malibu, Mike. Not in. Not in.

A friend. Talk to him once. Talk to him once. Trade? Traded this year? Question of. I heard a rumor it was him shitting in the truck Alibu Mike shit in the truck

Put it on a shirt Tell me we got Kelsey, come on Let's go Let's go All of our sound like dirt nasty to that This is very different vibes Yeah Speaking of different vibes

Jake You guys know I'm giving down the Turn Down the Music Award. You guys heard me. I talked about it on a recent episode, Jazz Chisholm, his hustle, the way he plays, the fire, he's awesome, he's everything I want baseball to be about. Home run, stolen bases, good defense, swag,

slamming the ground. Jazz Chisham, a trade that's going to be an interesting one to track for a bunch of years because they're two good ballpark. players. And it was a straight-up trade. It was a young jazz chisholm was traded for Zach Gallen on my Arizona Diamondbacks, both of them off to pretty gangbasters, gangbaster starts to their career. Those gangbastards. That was gangbusters. Zach Gallen now 54 starts a 3-3 career ERA. He's now four starts a 1-2-7 this season. He is back at it. we met his dad and his brother in the Phillies parking lot slash casino one time,

so we're friends of theirs. Jazz Chisholm, all the swag in a world said, you know, he wants to hit a homer off Zach Gallen. He's like, you know, I was traded for this guy. I'm going to homer off this dude. Zach Gallen was kind of like, nah, dude. I was also traded for you, and I don't want to give up a homer to you. So he shuts down jazz. Jazz goes 0 for three against him.

And a really another nice start for him in his season. He goes 6.1 to earn runs and gets the win against the fish. And yeah, I think it's one of those beautiful things. Like, you know, hey, jazz, I want you talking more. I like what you're about. Everything you do is fun. But guess what? Zach Gallen could also be on the other side and be like,

I'm not into that. So he turned down the music on jazz a little bit. shuts him down. And, hey, I'll tell you what, the next time Zach Gallen faces off against the Marlins, I'm tuning in. That next Zach Gallen jazz chisholm at bat, that's fantastic.

It is. I heard them as kind of good fun. Oh, yeah. No, it's what sports should be about. Yeah. I do like, they got traded for each other, so they want to homer off each other. These are two guys that if that trade never happened,

would never been linked together. And now they are linked for life to the point that we'll probably see them at a charity golf tournament in 20 years and they'll laugh about some of their old baseball stories together. We were there laughing. And we were young. Remember the days when we used to ski up. Drive?

You're up. You have an award? James. I got to have, I got to mention. Love your work. Big fan of your work. you put out a you put out a breakdown booney versus marty foster uh we're talking some real good lip reading and had one particular line that really got me going and it was get out of my face

get out of my face if you haven't watched the breakdown please go watch that one i think it's better than the bum garner one even though like that's also good i think this one is maybe one of the best I've seen as far as like comedy factor so I'm given the get out of my face award all through the arm season we called for the brewers to go after a bat we said you need a lefty bat there's some out there like go do it we know what you can do on the pitching side it's elite top to bottom so go supplement your roster with some dang offense. And you know who he said, go get Kyle Schwabber. You need a bopper like that. All the while, rowdy to less. Elk Grove, California dude, obviously sitting there being like, hey, talking baseball,

shut the fuck up. We don't need anybody because I am that guy. What's the other quote from the bowler? Who do you think you are? I am. I am. I am. That's what Rowdy was saying in his head the whole time. Obviously, he has that great game. Two homers, or yes, two homers, eight RBIs, just misses the third homer. But what he's done for this Brewer's team, he's kept them afloat when a lot of the other guys were struggling.

Now we're getting some guys. They've turned seven, as Jake would like to say. Routy Tiles on the year, hitting 275, 341 on base, 966 OPS. He's got the seven home. homers. He's got 22 RBIs. He's even scored 15 runs all while playing first base, not taking up the DH position from them. Every single game he's played has been at first base. So the answer's been right in front of us all along with the Brewers. I still think they'll make an offensive upgrade

during the year, maybe two. If I was being honest, I think they probably still need that. But Rowdy's answered the bell. And I like that. Like I've spent many off seasons where guys are saying, hey, we need better offense from our third baseman or more homers or better defense it fucking pisses you off man and it motivates you and i believe that's what happened routy his swing is locked in right now he's only 27 years old like give this guy oh in age give this guy some run like he's been getting and i think you're going to find a productive hitter is he going to be a 966 guy all year probably not but i think he's i think he's approaching a level we're going to see him in the yates all year and i think that it's

it's not fluky when you watches the bathe it's not fluky so shout out rowdy you know pat murphy i said this on baseball today you know pat murphy was talking shit because that last ball hit off the top of the fence it wasn't a homer ring that fucking bell yes god damn it yes

that is right i did it all time get out of my face if you like a baseball savant page go look at rowdies who do you think you are I am. Get it right.

A lot of 99th and 100th percentile. Rowdy hitting the ball. Thizz face Rowdy from Sacramento. Let's go. I'm giving out the just a great swap award. And I pivoted to this late in the show. I got to be honest. A late pivot.

A late pivot. It's the great swap award. It goes to Leslie Amber. Bruce Bush, who once he started his professional career at the age of 19 and the year of 1912, adopted the nickname Bullet Joe Bush. And that's a great name swap. If he stayed Leslie Ambrose Bush, his career probably lasts three years and he stinks. But he started going by Bullet Joe and won three World Series 17. your career. And sometimes you just need a name. So maybe this goes to Connor Joe. I don't know.

That's my award. Bullet Joe Bush Award. Okay. Leslie Ambrose, 19 years old making your show. Your debut in the show and your name's Leslie. My neighbor's name is Leslie. What does you clean your pool? Oh, there is a pool store like that. It's actually worth a lot of money. No, that's the biggest pool. It's a woman. It's the woman. Leslie Nielsen. I was going to give Tommy Canley Award because he's come back from his injury.

He missed almost two years. First outing. Nine pitches, three outs. Second outing. Nine pitches, three outs. Efficient, hot. Nice butt. Great change up.

Tommy Kainley. Congrats, Tommy. Congrats to Tommy. And I mean, the show ends on Fridays. Oh, Fido, Best Friend of the. We need a 6.2 shut. Oh, Odo. One walk.

Let's go. Bebers for the timestamps already in the description of this video. Flag. Oh. All right, Bieber's wild card in the American League. The six-seed Astros will be facing off against the three-seed twins. What does the stimulator simulator say? Astros.

Oh, wow. Sorry, Trev. The rays will be. facing off against the Blue Jays in the wild card. Two divisional opponents. Rays. Rays. Holy smokes.

Let's go to the wild card in the National League. You have the Mets who are the first seed in their division, but the third seed in the playoffs facing off against the Cardinals. It's all about the Mets. Oh, boy. All right. We have in the other wild card game, the Rockies. Kelsey's Rocks versus the Padres.

Another division rivalry. Padres. Padres. First time the Giants aren't involved in the postseason, I believe in the American League divisional series. The Astros beat the Twins. They now face the Angels who are the two seed in the American League. Astros.

Oh, that's a shame. I was really rooting for the Angels there. That's a bummer. Uh-oh. Heartbreak City. The Rays. Overcame the Blue Jays and now face the Yankees who are sitting there as the one seed in the American League. Who goes on to face the Astros in the championship series?

Yankees. Holy smokes. I love it. Yankees. Astros. CS. The ALCS goes through Houston. That's insane.

Mets. Mets beat our face off against the Brewers, the Brewers. Bats are hot. Brewers. Brewers. Beating the Mets. Good run, Mets. Dodgers and Padres.

Dodgers. I know that we're running this simulation, but there was only one possible result there. CS, who's going to the World Series? Is it the Yankees or is it the Astros? You know it's going seven games. The Astros. Damn it.

Oh. Damn it. That sucks. Woo. Brewers, Dodgers. Brewers. Brewers. Brewers.

Brewers, Astros, World Series. I go brew crew who's winning brew crew wow brewers with their first stimulator simulator victory two years in a row baby way to go brew crew good job by them thank you everyone for tuning in

peace and chicken grease have a good weekend
