And Silvia W MVP

0:02

WSHE HD to Chicago

0:04

a good karma brands

0:06

radio station So

0:12

we got some cubs taking some batting

0:14

practice over at Wrigley fields when

0:17

we got What you

0:19

see there? Why say I and Bellinger

0:21

both in the cage taking some BP

0:24

up at our house? other

0:26

really feel Good for

0:28

you. They're getting they're getting closer So

0:32

same working out running the bases yesterday

0:34

yesterday. They did some running and now

0:36

hitting Hopefully

0:38

they'll be back soon. Take your

0:41

time The

0:43

reason to rush back. No, you don't yeah,

0:45

you don't want to dig screw around with

0:47

an oblique and then Ballingers

0:50

got the ribs Just

0:53

got a rib two, I think right

0:55

to the ribs did he break fracture to

0:57

ribs think so That's more of

0:59

a pain tolerance thing than the oblique. Yeah,

1:01

right like the oblique you could reinjure and

1:05

And do that certain like certain

1:08

Muscle pulls and tears you'd

1:10

rather break a bone Because

1:12

it's just so painful. I think the one thing I've

1:14

never had it but everyone talks about

1:16

rib cartilage tears Like

1:19

when you the rib cartilage is damaged

1:22

that it's just Unbearable

1:24

pain like you even coughing is tough.

1:26

Yes Like you just never

1:28

can get comfortable and then you got to sway your back. He

1:30

had a reach for a ball You

1:34

got a run all that suggests

1:36

he's gonna join us after Jed speaks He

1:38

says there's a lot of people

1:41

speaking today. So I think Jed's scheduled to

1:43

speak around 415 420 So

1:47

we thought originally maybe before 30 could be

1:49

closer to 5 o'clock So

1:51

as soon as we get Jesse, we'll let you know

1:53

and get you all the things that Jed had to

1:55

say today I saw

1:58

this Kay Adams also tweeted this out So

2:00

Matt Eberfluis has his own honey? Were

2:02

you aware of it? No.

2:06

When did that become a thing? I had no clue. It's

2:08

since 2022 though. It

2:10

looks like it's being packaged and made in like

2:12

bluff. So it makes sense. So

2:20

is this legit Tyler? I asked you and you

2:22

said yeah. Or are you just looking

2:24

at the picture that K.I.D. sent out? No, I just saw

2:26

that picture. I don't know if it's real or not. I

2:29

mean I've not heard anything. I Googled it. I can't find

2:31

like if there's a link to buy it or anything. When

2:33

does he have time for the honey business? That

2:37

doesn't sound like something Matt Eberfluis

2:39

would be involved in. He's all ball all the

2:41

time. There's a bee on

2:43

the picture obviously but bears like

2:45

honey too right? It's a

2:47

bear thing as well. Should there be a

2:49

bear on the package? Are

2:52

we missing an opportunity? Winnie the Pooh always

2:54

had his hand or his head caught

2:56

in the honey jar. I

2:59

don't know. Just win some games. Just

3:02

win some games. Please. You

3:04

have all the honey you want. And this

3:06

is the whole turnaround with Eberfluis. I mean

3:08

the honey business does nothing for me. Maybe

3:11

that's what he's using as hair gel these days. He's

3:13

got a little honey flick through his hair. I

3:16

think I believe he's actually dying

3:18

in the hair too. Really?

3:21

Which is totally cool but I'm just saying. Yeah,

3:23

look at pictures now versus before. I know they

3:25

look. No, no. There's

3:28

a lot of gray in there. Come over here. Take

3:30

a look at this. There's

3:35

a lot of gray. Yeah, you're okay. That's

3:37

not a dye jug. Look, I'll

3:40

rip his plate all the way

3:42

but like. I

3:45

thought I saw a shot of him that looked like

3:47

his hair. Maybe his hair was just a little bit

3:49

wet or there was a little extra gel in there.

3:51

Yeah, like sometimes someone will say to me. Oh,

3:54

Sylvia, are you dyeing your hair? Some

3:57

days like if my hair is wet or I'll put in

3:59

the pot. It darkens the hair. I've

4:01

never once dyed the hair. Okay. I see what

4:03

you're saying You come look at that picture you

4:05

tell me that that sometimes it could be the

4:07

lights or again Like if the pomade goes in

4:10

a certain way, okay But doesn't that look like

4:12

a brand new dye job right

4:14

there on that picture that looks good.

4:16

There's some color to that hair Well,

4:19

you know a poly walnut has the side the

4:21

side winders as well. You don't do the whole

4:24

thing You can leave some

4:26

of the gray in they can they're pulling a

4:28

yurko where your co used to some days say

4:30

that to me What's that? Oh, are you dyeing

4:32

your hair and it would just be the way

4:34

it looked that day Could

4:37

be could be I'm not sure But

4:40

again, I don't care about the honey business You

4:43

just win game wins game for me

4:45

will be there Friday will be out

4:47

at the mini camp on Friday Rookies

4:50

will participate boy the bit

4:52

the crowd would did you see how crazy

4:54

the crowd went for Caleb Williams? I did not

4:56

but I hear he's been in town for a

4:58

while getting everything set up and getting acclimated

5:00

to everything He

5:03

first he went back. He was at the

5:05

Laker playoff game Yeah, then he came back

5:07

and then there was a picture of him

5:09

floating around at Target. Did you see

5:11

him shopping at? Look at Caleb. He

5:13

shops at Target just like us. Well,

5:15

he is a human being. Yes. Yeah He

5:19

does need groceries and stuffers Place

5:22

by the way, I can't see I can't find

5:24

anything like I mean, it's just the Google machine

5:26

But I got Matt Eber flu's honey business. I

5:28

got not I can't find anything on it That's

5:30

why I don't think it's something that he would

5:33

do when he has free time. He plays golf,

5:35

right? And spent time with

5:37

his daughter. Yes, I don't see him But

5:40

I could I don't know it's Kay

5:42

Adams had the picture of it up

5:44

and he she said you learned something

5:46

new every day No, but yeah, all

5:48

right the good the bad the dirty

5:50

every day every Monday after the weekend

5:52

We go around the room one thing

5:54

good one thing bad one thing dirty

6:33

Waddle and Sylvie, on ESPN Chicago.

6:36

Waddle and Sylvie, you're good. I

6:38

know you're a basketball first guy. I don't

6:41

know how closely you've been watching all the

6:43

playoffs, but Donovan

6:45

Mitchell had 39 yesterday as the Cavs get

6:47

past the magic to advance. He had 50

6:50

in Game 6. So

6:52

89 points and two games for

6:54

Donovan Mitchell and Anthony Edwards on

6:56

Saturday had 43 in their

6:58

win over the Nuggets. So a couple of guys doing

7:01

their thing in the NBA. I think

7:03

this series it's game two tonight with

7:06

the T Wolves and the Nugs. I think

7:08

that's going to be a very entertaining series.

7:10

I believe I heard the good kid breaking

7:13

it down today and I thought he was

7:15

spot on. You know, the Nuggets

7:17

got past the Lakers for one and did

7:19

not really even look like they played well.

7:21

No. And if you bring that same

7:23

level of game to this series

7:26

with the T Wolves, they won't get past the T Wolves. I

7:29

think the Nuggets will end up finding

7:31

at least a better version of themselves.

7:33

I don't know if they'll really play

7:36

like they did last year, but I

7:39

don't like today and not get up. But

7:41

I think on first take or maybe it

7:43

was over the weekend. Something

7:46

where they're already declaring that the T

7:48

Wolves are going to win the series. No,

7:50

I wouldn't. Like you can't make proclamations after

7:52

Game 1 of a seven game series. Did

7:54

you see too that Rudy Gobert is questionable for tonight?

7:57

I don't believe he's playing, is he? I think he's... birth

8:00

of his kid. Yeah, so they

8:02

had their first child

8:05

and from what I've read, it's

8:07

a matter of if he can

8:09

get back to Denver and so

8:11

he's questionable if he can get

8:13

back in time. This is the

8:15

thing that we've always talked about,

8:17

right? About if

8:20

it's an important game, would

8:22

you miss the game? And obviously

8:25

he's been looking forward to becoming a father and

8:27

he wanted to be there, which

8:29

is totally understandable and

8:31

family first and he is he's a

8:34

big big deal on taking the

8:38

best player in the NBA out of his comfort

8:40

zone. Yeah, because he's not a threat on offense.

8:44

No, he's the best defender in the league. Yes, he is.

8:47

At least one of them. He always wins defensive

8:49

player of the year at least. This

8:51

is my good. I thought this, I don't

8:53

know if you, you probably heard about the

8:55

trade with the Padres and the Marlins with

8:58

a rise going to the Padres, but

9:01

did you know that one of the

9:03

players was traded by

9:06

the Padres while he was on second

9:08

base of his minor league game? I

9:10

believe this happened on Friday night. This

9:13

is the call of the minor league

9:15

game as he was standing on second

9:17

base. Martorello is going to be pinch

9:20

run for. I think these

9:22

reports might be accurate folks. Luke

9:25

Montz has come down to the home plate umpire.

9:27

He got word from his, I believe his trainer

9:29

in the dugout. Montz is coaching third base. They

9:32

got his attention. Martorello is out there at

9:34

second point at himself going, who me? What'd

9:36

I do? Well, Nathan,

9:39

you're about to find out that there's some

9:41

stuff going down. Pinch

9:45

runner at second base is

9:48

Chase Valentine. And

9:54

yeah, we're going to have some movement. Marcy and

9:57

Martorello are both popping out of the Antonio

10:00

dugout, they get hugs from Luke Montz, they're going

10:02

to the clubhouse. They're

10:08

reportedly joining the Miami Marlins organization. They're going

10:11

to take a trek down the right field

10:13

line as we get a traveler pitching change.

10:16

Hill being lifted here in the third.

10:18

Two on, one out, tribes back to

10:21

the bullpen. We got all sorts of

10:23

baseball stuff going on here at DSP

10:25

tonight. Martirella and Marcy

10:28

headed to the clubhouse trying to explain to

10:31

everybody in a gray shirt what's on

10:33

earth is going on here tonight. They're giving out

10:35

hugs. What

10:37

a scene on a Friday

10:39

night in May. Eight to

10:42

two tribes leading pitching change here for the

10:44

travelers. We're back after this on buzz two.

10:47

Buzz two. Buzz two. First of all,

10:49

doesn't every minor league announcer sound alike?

10:52

Every minor league brought just sound alike. But

10:55

second of all, that is,

10:57

do you ever remember a guy getting

10:59

traded while he was on base? Like

11:01

sure it's happened during games and

11:03

I've seen guys where they've had to switch

11:05

clubhouses like after one game and they play

11:07

for the other team like in second game

11:09

of a double hatter. I don't

11:11

know if I've ever seen mid game a guy on

11:14

base getting taken out because he's been traded.

11:16

Yeah, you can't get him hurt. It's pretty

11:18

funny. That is good. Didn't that happen

11:20

to Wilmer? He wasn't on base but he was

11:22

in the field. What did he

11:25

get taken out? And he like started crying like on

11:27

the field. That is right. For the

11:29

while he was playing for the match. Yeah. So

11:31

he was that was a major Laker. I thought that

11:33

was pretty funny. He did. This guy

11:35

had no clue. He's like, why are you taking

11:38

me out? I'm on second base right now. I'm

11:40

running the bases. Why are you taking

11:42

me out? But yeah, he was one of

11:44

the players traded. How long do you think in his head

11:46

clicked in his head? Oh, no. Or

11:49

you know what I mean? Like, is he happy? Oh,

11:51

yeah. I mean, he's going from San Diego to Miami.

11:53

So I don't know. Did he

11:55

get promoted right away? Or

11:57

is he just going from minor league to minor league? Probably

12:00

minor league to minor league, but he's probably got a

12:02

clearer path to get to the majors for the Marlins

12:04

You could play for the Marlins at some point probably

12:06

in their minor at least as a hitter Yeah, yeah,

12:08

like it's got to be all set for minor leaguers

12:11

because like I'm sure their agents tell them a little

12:13

bit of stuff here, but it's not like Minor

12:16

leaguers names are in the trade unless you're

12:18

a top prospect your name's not in like

12:20

the rumors fear the rumor mill Yeah, yeah.

12:22

Yeah. What do you got? Mel? Or what

12:24

you I'm gonna go with the Kentucky Derby

12:26

the 150th running was

12:28

a fabulous finish boys as mystic

12:31

Dan edged out forever young and Sierra

12:34

Leone in a three wide photo finish

12:36

I got a chance to explain to

12:38

Alex my son when we were watching

12:40

it We watched one horse race of

12:42

years the Kentucky Derby and I said

12:45

that's what the saying By

12:47

a nose means it's exactly it we

12:49

had a by a nose finish for

12:51

first and second answered It was

12:54

that close. It was a pretty quick as well.

12:56

It's a good explanation for a photo finish And

12:59

by a nose that's what you mean. So good

13:01

stuff They would don't didn't they say that it

13:04

was the closest photo finish ever or at least

13:06

that's what they thought had to have been I

13:08

mean, I can't imagine that there was one that

13:10

was any closer than that. It's

13:12

close to a dead heat they always do such a

13:14

good job of Broadcasting

13:16

that event. Yeah, it is an event the way

13:18

they cover that. I mean, it's two and a

13:20

half minutes Right the lead up during the day

13:22

and Mike Turico is part of it. Eddie's part

13:24

of it. It's a good presentation I

13:27

always enjoyed it Randy Moss

13:29

Randy Moss. Yes the other Randy mother

13:31

Randy Moss What

13:33

do you got Tyler? What's your good? My

13:36

good Georgia baseball is Charlie Condon if you

13:38

haven't seen this He is now homeward in

13:40

seven straight games He also hit

13:42

a 33rd home run of the season as well.

13:44

Both of those are records in the it's called

13:47

the BB Corps era I don't know if you

13:49

guys remember this is like 15 years ago They

13:51

basically dead in the metal bats across all levels

13:53

of baseball But he has now hit a home

13:56

run in seven straight games and he's the number

13:58

one prospect in the MLB Did

14:01

you see Justin Pottinger's brother, Homer, over the

14:03

weekend as well? He's having a nice year.

14:05

He's had a very good year. He plays

14:08

for Indiana State, one of our producer's brothers.

14:11

He's really good. Alright, what's your

14:13

bad? My bad, inside

14:15

the Brady roast, I thought

14:17

Ben Affleck's appearance and

14:19

performance, for

14:22

me it was time to go to the bathroom. That's how

14:24

bad it was. And then I told you guys, and again,

14:26

I can't wait to hear what you

14:28

all have to say. I thought Tom Brady's presentation at

14:30

the end was the worst part of it. I

14:33

just did. When Belichick was up there

14:35

doing his thing, basically in his character,

14:38

Gronk, his personality, he didn't

14:40

change. Brady seemed

14:42

like he morphed into

14:45

something or someone that he's not.

14:48

It was just really weird that he was drunk and

14:50

he was trying to get through it. I

14:53

don't know because this had to be

14:56

pre-written. My

14:59

wife and I watched it and we're like, wow, that's just... You

15:03

know what I mean? I know it's a roast,

15:05

but it's just weird. When Gronk does his

15:07

thing, yes, Edelman, yes, Belichick,

15:09

yes, all in character, he was

15:12

playing part of a character that

15:14

was just weird. I thought it

15:16

was really weird. So I thought it

15:19

was a good night, good show, but Ben

15:21

Affleck and Tom Brady, I thought they were

15:24

the weak links to the entire presentation. I

15:27

probably won't get a chance to watch the end of

15:29

it tonight just because of the basketball game and Cubs

15:32

are playing other Padres tonight, but I

15:34

need to watch the second half soon.

15:38

My dad is watching the Cubs bullpen

15:40

in one run games. We talked

15:42

about it on Friday. They lost that

15:44

game. They blew that game. I

15:48

think it was 6-4 on Saturday. Hector

15:53

Nerris is just... He's a heart

15:55

attack. Heart attack, Hector. I

15:57

don't know whether it's... it's

16:00

always nervous, nervous or heart attack,

16:02

Hector. I don't know what to

16:04

call him. He can't close

16:06

for you. He can be your

16:08

seventh inning guy or eighth inning guy, but

16:12

he's just too erratic. And I don't

16:14

want what's happened the last two, yesterday

16:18

to just

16:20

be the, sort of

16:23

the palate cleanser. Do you know what

16:25

I mean? And Judd to think, okay,

16:27

we're getting healthier and we're gonna get

16:29

better now that Ben Brown's down there. And

16:32

soon we're gonna get another arm down there because

16:35

Wicks should be coming back. You should

16:37

still be looking at. Yes, you've got

16:39

to be looking at guys who are

16:41

specialists at this. And

16:44

again, because all these games count

16:47

the same and this excuse that

16:49

it's too early or

16:51

that there's a lot of season to

16:53

go, a blown game

16:55

in May counts the same as the

16:57

blown game in July or a blown

17:00

game in August. And those

17:02

are games you can't make up. So

17:06

this is something that they've got to take care of.

17:09

I don't want them to go out and

17:12

overpay. Don't get me wrong, but still, this

17:14

is a red flag and they must get

17:16

it taken care of. And the bullpen has

17:18

shown you from the very start that

17:21

they're blowing these one run games and they

17:23

must get it taken care of sooner rather

17:25

than later. What do

17:27

you got, Miller? My bad is some

17:29

of the endings for some teams in

17:32

the first round of the playoffs. The

17:34

Clippers, of course, bounced by the Mavs.

17:36

Their whole situation with Kawhi Leonard and

17:38

Paul George is up in the air

17:40

in another first round exit for them. Of course,

17:42

the Suns, a very disappointing 4-0 sweep to

17:45

the T-Wolves. And of course, the Bucks go

17:48

down with the Dak Rivers, the

17:50

mid-season coaching change for them. That was a

17:52

bit of a disaster if you look at

17:54

it. And then how about the Maple Leafs?

17:56

Yet again, another early exit from the NHL

17:59

playoffs. The playoffs are great

18:01

this time of year, but for a lot of

18:03

teams, the early exits call into question what their

18:05

future is as teams. And for

18:07

a lot of them, it is very uncertain. Is

18:10

it me? I know you were talking NBA. Are

18:13

we, every year at this

18:15

time, are we always talking about Toronto, maybe? We are.

18:18

No, absolutely. I mean, yeah, they absolutely

18:20

are in the mix. You know, I don't know who

18:22

had a more disappointing, you know, it's great to go

18:24

to seven games, but year after year, we always get

18:26

bounced in the seventh game. It sucks. And

18:29

all chalk in the Stanley Cup. It really is.

18:31

Yeah. Yeah. But

18:33

do they ever go far? They may believe ever go

18:35

far. Far still be last year. Remember,

18:38

they snapped the streak. I think it was last year.

18:40

It wasn't two years ago when they actually got out

18:42

of the first round, but then they immediately were dumped

18:44

in the second round. Yeah.

18:47

You know, what do you got, Tyler?

18:49

My bad is the rain delay that took place in

18:51

St. Louis on Saturday and just the Cardinals and anytime

18:53

you lose a series of the White Sox, you're going

18:56

to get my bad for the weekend too. So

18:58

it was a three hour rain delay that ended up

19:00

resulting in one out being played. Just play it the

19:03

next day. That's actually

19:05

just a piggyback. That's my dirty. Any

19:08

three hour rain delay for a game between

19:10

the White Sox and the Cardinals, I'm

19:12

with you. And if you're Shay or you're

19:15

Jack and you have to hang around, that's

19:17

just a dirty night. It's

19:19

the rule, right? So isn't it because it's the

19:21

rule they should change the rules. Is that what

19:23

you're saying? Because isn't it

19:26

the rule that if that gets called there,

19:28

then it goes back to the previous

19:30

inning getting wiped out? I

19:33

don't think you could believe that. Right.

19:36

But still like when it's the Cardinals and the

19:38

White Sox with a coin and whoever, you know,

19:40

calls the coin, you get the win. It very

19:43

easily could have been the bases were loaded with

19:45

two outs. Yeah, you should be able to continue

19:47

it and be like, look, we got a game

19:49

tomorrow. The teams aren't

19:51

going anywhere. The weather's fine. Let's

19:54

let common sense prevail and not

19:56

make these teams wait three hours.

20:00

Pause this, we'll pick it up tomorrow

20:02

at noon, and then we'll play

20:04

game three of the game starting

20:06

at one time. Probably raise

20:09

the risk of injury dramatically

20:12

by doing it this way. I don't know

20:14

how many guys are making sure that they're

20:16

loose when they get back out. And why

20:18

make fans like, I don't know, maybe there's

20:20

a fan thing where you want... But

20:24

yes, who does that help in

20:27

making fans wait three hours? When you ran out of

20:29

shade or deck? Yeah, they were hunkered down in here,

20:31

weren't they? Yeah,

20:34

by the way, did you see there was

20:37

a quote in James Began's piece as well

20:39

from the weekend? Graffal said,

20:41

in that three hours and three minute delay as

20:43

they stayed focused, said Pedro Graffal. Tanner Banks, I

20:45

ended up taking a nap, you can't stay locked

20:47

in for a couple hours. It's

20:50

just... Well,

20:52

as he should, I'm not blaming the nap.

20:55

I'm not saying they shouldn't take a

20:57

nap. But you know Graffal saying

20:59

that they stayed focused just for

21:02

that mental masturbation line,

21:04

like, look how prepared my team

21:06

is. It's pretty much

21:08

a certainty that if you sit

21:10

and talk with Pedro and

21:13

then go talk to somebody else five minutes

21:15

later, you're going to get separate answers to

21:17

the same question. It's just him trying to

21:20

flex and say, look, I've got a grasp

21:22

of my team. My team's prepared. No,

21:25

like, there's not one team who's going

21:27

to stay focused through a three hour delay. Not one.

21:30

Nope. What do you got for your dirty? My

21:33

dirty was Tyler's. It was the three hour rain

21:35

delay. That's just dirty for everybody. My

21:39

dirty, did you see this? This

21:41

is going back to the Nuggets

21:43

and the Wolves. T Wolves,

21:45

who's playing tonight. I

21:48

saw this stat on social media. They

21:50

have met 14 times

21:52

since the start of 2223.

21:54

Okay? So

21:57

in their last 14 meetings, there's

21:59

seven... Seven and seven. The

22:01

Denver Nuggets have scored 1,565 points. The Minnesota

22:04

Timberwolves have scored 1,555 points. They're

22:11

one point away from each other. That's crazy. 1,565 to

22:13

1,555. Seven and seven, 14 match ups. That

22:21

is dirty. And this is

22:23

going to be fantastic. I think you

22:25

are seeing two great,

22:28

fun Western Conference teams. And if

22:30

you don't love NBA

22:32

basketball, this may get you back

22:35

a little bit because it's

22:37

not the same old same old. And

22:40

it's young, emerging superstars. It's

22:43

the best player in the league. It's

22:45

one of the most underrated players in the league in Jamal

22:47

Murray. And it's probably

22:50

the best up and

22:52

coming player in the league that is

22:54

getting the comps with Michael. So

22:56

tune in. Tune in. I'll

22:59

work off of that. This isn't my

23:01

exact dirty, but the tweet out there

23:03

with, I saw this weekend, everyone's up

23:05

in arms about Drake hiding a kid

23:07

for 11 years when Michael Jordan had

23:09

been hiding Anthony Edwards for 22. That

23:11

was dirty over the weekend. But my

23:13

actual dirty is Shohei Otani putting the

23:15

Major League Baseball Universe on

23:19

notice now that he doesn't have to focus

23:21

on pitching this season because he's recovering from

23:23

Tommy John surgery. He's

23:25

taken his hitting to an absolute

23:27

another level. He's leading baseball and

23:29

batting average and like

23:32

so many key hitting categories.

23:34

He's just absolutely trouncing the

23:36

opposition. And he went off on the Braves this

23:38

weekend. Look out

23:40

because he is an absolute beast at the

23:42

plate right now. You said batting average chef

23:44

also first in OPS first and

23:47

extra base hits tied for first in

23:49

home runs. It's been

23:51

unbelievable. And then when you look at

23:53

like the nerd numbers like the the

23:55

ex Woba, his ex-va, his ex-slogging, what's

23:57

an ex Woba? Ex

24:00

on base average anyway What

24:04

his his average his average

24:06

on base percentage ex-woba? We

24:08

don't have time to get into it. I

24:10

don't want to like whoa. His ex-woba. I

24:12

don't think you know it I think you're

24:15

just his ex be a making it up

24:17

Plug his average exit velocity his barrel percentage

24:19

is hard hit person and bubbles zips a

24:21

sweet spot percentage It's all 100 100

24:24

percentile. It's insane. He's just out of his

24:26

mind right? This is the bip His

24:29

bad bip is probably really high Well,

24:31

wait a second. You just got all snotty

24:33

there and in the ex-woba. No, no, you

24:36

wait. It's a bad It's it's your not

24:38

for bip. It's your expected weighted on base

24:41

Average okay. My eyes are swollen the

24:43

back. That's what I figured But

24:45

he's just he's good Tyler my

24:47

dirty from the weekend Ryan polls in

24:50

attendance for this by the way land

24:52

at Morris at the f1 race took

24:54

down Max for stopping. I'm

24:56

trying to think of like what the the comp for that

24:58

is but like we're stopping doesn't lose these things He

25:00

like never loses in that one. It's the first time

25:02

I've ever watched f1 I turned

25:04

it on for like the the final like 10 minutes

25:06

of the race and I was like, oh we're stopping

25:08

lost How many cars are in that race? I have

25:10

no idea. I know nothing about

25:13

it It's I mean it's watching the f1 Netflix

25:16

stuff worth watching that I

25:19

know so many people who wake up early on Sunday

25:22

mornings or Saturday mornings to watch up one now

25:24

because they watch the show Like

25:27

because you know me I'm not the biggest

25:29

golf fan But I loved full swing

25:31

and people have told me that I would

25:34

love the f1 stuff Is it called f1

25:36

and that's what drive to survive it? They

25:38

were the ones that pioneered like all of

25:40

these different theories came out before the golf,

25:43

right? Yeah, they went from f1 to tennis

25:45

to golf. I may have to did you

25:47

guys see the menu prices? Yeah,

25:49

I did at f1. No Can

25:53

we give that at the beginning of Aki's a

25:55

list? Yeah, I'll find those wait. Why don't wait

25:57

you hear this the drinks were

25:59

crazy But the food

26:01

items I thought was even more outlandish

26:03

than the drink prices. Read

26:06

those, Tyler, coming. Because it was in Miami, and

26:08

you know Miami's one of the most expensive towns

26:10

out there. But I saw

26:12

it on Twitter. We'll read those. Aki's

26:14

A-list coming up. Jed

26:17

is expected to meet the media. He could

26:19

be doing it as we speak. Once he's

26:21

done, Jesse's going to hop on. Give us

26:23

the latest from Wrigley Field. It's time for

26:25

28:25

What he got are we are

28:27

just mentioning the F one of

28:29

food prices. Before we went to

28:31

break here a little bit a

28:33

gas prices right here. How much

28:35

for a mean lobster roll over

28:37

Maine lobster or I'm in a

28:39

good thirty five dollars. Here

28:42

almost are you a little over ten percent

28:44

of the way? They're two hundred and eighty

28:47

dollars for a new love said I told

28:49

staff your daddy's I could not believe the

28:51

food prices. I could not believe it when

28:54

I saw this as a somebody here who's

28:56

paying two hundred bucks last for a main

28:58

last surveillance and Carney Assad. And nachos.

29:02

Well now you one hundred twenty five

29:04

dollars. Hundred. And eighty

29:06

dollars for some Carney thought as

29:08

not suggested I know the next

29:11

morning or is a like a

29:13

different stratosphere financially. Applied they

29:15

did. The drivers are some of the most

29:17

highly compensated athletes in the world's how could

29:19

you do as that? So this is a

29:22

this is for like I think it's called

29:24

the Hard Rock Club. Owners pay a thousand

29:26

dollars just to get as his claws are.

29:28

He's was so did once you're in. that

29:30

like you get so much money. I got

29:33

one hundred eighty bucks for tacos. Isn't. Isn't

29:35

probably something that bothers you really like if

29:38

you're that rates I'm like, did you get

29:40

rich by paying one hundred and eighty dollars

29:42

for tacos? know. but you're not bothered by

29:44

29:46

You want to add one ounce of caviar

29:49

many have a mars or five in a bucket? Hundred

30:14

30:16

com and down. This is what I

30:18

thought. That's why when I read it

30:20

I thought when I saw the lobster

30:22

roll prices and the natural prices I

30:24

that. Totally. Outlandish. The

30:27

The Bears so like the beer

30:29

30:31

in comparison with the food. Ride.

30:34

Seen hi I bet you for twelve

30:40

31:12

is five sixty of get out. That's

31:16

crazy. see others within. The problem was with you

31:18

can would you rather pay How much was it

31:21

for a lobster roll? Ah do this to a

31:23

D Would you run into to eighty for a

31:25

lobster roll or five hundred for a bottle? I've

31:27

heard of her bottle Adidas. I get more out

31:29

of the but that's what I'm saying. We gotta

31:32

We gotta ask Ryan pulls the next time is

31:34

on. Yes if I had this yeah what he

31:36

was, what what he ordered and how much Iran

31:38

and probably why is that eating much anymore. Because

31:41

he's hanging in all these a sense of class.

31:45

So damn expensive cities go into the

31:47

birds streets in L A. Where.

31:49

You got hooked up and and now he's hanging out of

31:51

these f one race as an email to my partner and

31:53

the honey business with his coach. maybe there's a little extra

31:56

cash? Come in and on the side. Of

31:58

who had a seizure. So yesterday,

32:00

another great performance from Javier Assad.

32:02

six scoreless innings for the Chicago

32:05

Cubs. He has been one of

32:07

the you very, very bright spots

32:09

to this rotation, as have a

32:11

number of surprising performances this year.

32:13

But where is Hop Your Assad

32:15

on the list of biggest surprises

32:17

for the Cubs season? I.

32:20

Still think showed up as as. Even

32:23

now that he was a free agent

32:25

and even though he was good in

32:27

Japan, the greatness so far it's been

32:30

so simply off the charts and I

32:32

I don't know of anyone knew he

32:34

would be this great. And and

32:36

again, I don't know how long this is

32:38

gonna remain the case. But. I

32:40

think showed as it starts with Shota.

32:43

And. That's the biggest surprise and I

32:46

think how bad the bullpen has

32:48

been, especially in late innings, is

32:50

his second a big surprises. Who.

32:52

Could have predicted how bad they are. Yeah,

32:56

I would definitely agree with you. I

32:58

think Assad has been a surprise. But.

33:01

You saw signs that he was a good pitcher

33:03

last year. Yeah, Now. Again, I

33:05

don't think anybody would have predicted this.

33:07

This gonna start. And seven

33:09

starts. But. I mean, he's

33:12

shown you that he's quality. And

33:14

with it been able to do with are starting

33:16

rotation especially with some guys on the shelf has

33:19

been really impressed and they've developed a lotta guys

33:21

that are taken the next step. And

33:23

this was actually from Bob Knight and gals

33:25

article eyes he has like little notebook today.

33:27

There's been no bigger surprise among scouts this

33:29

year than Cubs pitcher showed a monogamous so

33:31

like soldiers died in. Know that? Sure I

33:33

agree with Nightingale. the as so does not

33:35

just a. Cubs surprise?

33:38

He is a baseball surprised wealth. A

33:40

little tidbit I picked up out of

33:42

this notebook from Nightingale was him talking

33:44

about Tommy Pham? He's they're bleeding Tenets

33:46

represent them in the all star game

33:48

despite really only been there for a

33:50

week in chains are we're arm But

33:52

he's also probably. A prime trade candidate

33:54

now. He also puts in their the

33:56

White Sox are expected to trade started

33:58

Eric, Betty Chris. My club

34:01

injure reliever Michael Cole Pack and designated

34:03

hitter a lawyer men as And it

34:05

got me thinking the Cubs obviously need

34:07

to start with the bullpen before they

34:09

make any moves. But would a lawyer

34:11

men as be a good bi lo

34:13

target for the Chicago Cubs? I scoffed

34:15

at this. Why would I scoffed at

34:17

this in the presale? Go ahead, you

34:19

can go for know I I, I

34:22

wouldn't do it. I'm. I.

34:24

Think that you you have other guys that

34:26

will come to your system that will be

34:28

just fine. As. Designated.

34:31

Hitters and that's all eloise going to be.

34:34

A lawyer to hurt or what? He

34:36

hundred and twenty games. Last year he

34:38

had eighteen home runs. I wouldn't do

34:40

it even though it's bi Lo was.

34:42

So let's go through it so you

34:44

have guys who could come up here

34:46

with scenario ah with oh into a

34:49

T C. And

34:51

others Matt Schaub to overeat and name

34:53

a D. H. for a I was

34:55

going like with some of the outfielders

34:57

because the outfield this. Pretty. Stacked

35:00

right now because ah, In left

35:02

field you have Ah Ian Happ.

35:04

In center field you have Cody

35:06

Ballenger In right field you have

35:08

Sas. Pokemon. Has is

35:10

not. Lost. Anything if anyone

35:13

thought Todman for for for one year

35:15

was just gonna be good and that

35:17

was it. sees been surprisingly good on

35:19

base wise he's been a godsend and

35:22

say as absence so now have a

35:24

son that's easier Fourth outfielder anyone they

35:26

bring up with these young guys who

35:28

play our field will be your. Your.

35:31

Your Dh, That's where they are lacking.

35:34

They're lacking A D H Saw a

35:36

young guy who you bring up in

35:38

your system will help you there. I'm

35:40

not paying for a guy in any

35:42

capacity even by Wow. I'm.

35:45

In trading someone away who could break down

35:47

at any moment, I would think morales gonna

35:49

get some at bats a D h quite

35:51

a bit as well as the season rolls

35:53

on. Sign. On I don't see

35:55

growth. my bring saw rp these if he

35:57

starts hitting a little bit better and he.

36:00

Is more third for you down the

36:02

stretch. A morale the ages. I

36:05

understand why the question is asked.

36:08

But. I use can't. Is

36:11

the juice worth the squeeze? Know and I

36:13

am. And the answer to my own question

36:15

would be no. And I don't want to

36:17

trade for capecchi. their I've seen this floated

36:19

around like I eat too. unreliable to me.

36:22

I am not trading for Cope like they're too

36:24

many other arms I'd rather trade for yelling of

36:26

using. Nearest is a roller coaster. Young, you want

36:28

no part. I know one guy I can't depend

36:31

on. Call back nine, a pennant race or. Or

36:34

a for the for for the first

36:36

time since two Thousand and Five we

36:38

have no Le Bron at know Kevin

36:40

Durant's and know Steph Curry in the

36:42

semi finals of the conference playoffs here.

36:46

Is the N B A and a

36:48

good spot with it's superstars. For

36:50

the future I I think they are. Now.

36:54

Again, he just give you you're gonna have

36:56

to get used to. Not. Seeing

36:58

or hearing some of those names. But.

37:01

I don't I've enjoyed the and Be A

37:03

this year. I. Know you have,

37:05

but. Does Indiana in

37:07

New York appeal to people?

37:10

Outside. Of those two towns we

37:12

like to and Branson Gray but is

37:14

anyone tuning into C that match up?

37:17

Outside of Indiana New York probably

37:19

not in in large numbers and

37:21

Halliburton as a bride is the

37:23

feds added to give us look

37:25

at going to. Be

37:28

a family has to like some of these

37:30

guys arm and and that he edwards I

37:32

wouldn't say I would think would appeal to

37:34

all basketball. that's why this that series in

37:36

my opinion is so important. As

37:39

what Denver, Minnesota is so important. But.

37:42

Other or other than that, is there really anything

37:44

going on in the N? B? A. Both.

37:47

You look like more like future thinking when

37:49

be you'd imagine as we as a playoff

37:51

make rising that like when be in and

37:53

feel like the future of this week I

37:55

mean the I it exists sunder have some

37:58

guys that you can claim to. I

38:00

don't said she's still a guy then

38:02

that you know to me as must

38:04

watch television station. Tatum is in mack

38:07

their territory as well. I mean there

38:09

are guys. Again, You ride and me

38:11

maybe the name. Either

38:14

the the the name value isn't there,

38:16

you're not. What? I say give

38:18

your basketball fan you're cool with what.

38:20

yeah the young guys are in. The

38:22

problem with the celtics is is there's

38:24

no seem to really give them a

38:26

run here Legs Cleveland in Boston is

38:28

going to be boring. Like

38:32

is anyone tuning in for Cleveland and

38:34

and. And. A

38:36

Cleveland in Boston. Probably.

38:38

Not in your probably I mean by

38:40

the tune in for Cleveland in Orlando.

38:42

Even though when seven games till game

38:44

seven, I think there's no question. for

38:47

me, there's more intrigue in the Western

38:49

Conference. With. The Thunder and The

38:51

Mavs and In the T Wolves in The Nods much

38:53

more so than. He. Really good

38:55

old fashioned, you know. roll around on the

38:57

ground, get a knee burn? You know I

39:00

did. You may watch the Pacers in the

39:02

next. It's old school basketball. Ah yes, ah

39:04

like is it some? It's definitely a fork

39:06

in the road moment though for the and

39:09

be as he I mean remember to yon

39:11

us was out because of injury. Or I

39:13

mean there's still people. In my opinion that.

39:16

The. Heat are out there that the

39:18

box or out the Lakers are all

39:20

the warriors are out. There

39:22

are allotted name brands who are out. I

39:25

will say a lot of there's been a

39:27

ton of criticism about the over the comparisons

39:29

the Anthony Edwards and Michael Jordan or Koby

39:31

Bryant. and yeah it's largely silly but I

39:34

think it is good for drawing eyeballs to.

39:36

Maybe people have checked out of the and

39:38

be a for little been say others might

39:41

be the second coming guy who could be

39:43

the next grade within the week while having

39:45

him in Minnesota probably doesn't help the league's

39:47

cause you know I mean it's not as

39:50

high profile profile spot but. Like.

39:53

Eyes At some point you gonna have to turn

39:55

the reigns over. Somebody else in In the Brawn

39:57

can play forever. Are you still? I'd

39:59

like. The honestly there was nothing

40:01

appealing for me. To

40:04

view the that the Phoenix Suns playing basketball

40:06

they just weren't like they never clicked, never

40:08

and it was never any thing that I

40:10

was. I gotta get to watch his sons

40:12

tonight. So. I'd

40:15

much rather watch the Timber Wolves in

40:17

the nuggets versus the Sun's plane. Anybody

40:19

married just he is gonna join us

40:21

so soon from Wrigley Field Ah good

40:24

chat is speaking I is at Wrigley

40:26

will get you know update on what

40:28

he's thinking. It's all coming up soon.

40:33

As it. Were.

40:52

Only to jump through Rogers and

40:54

Zones aside from Wrigley Field than

40:56

the class fire and on a

40:58

hotline. Coffee is always party by

41:00

your local Chicago and Toyota dealer

41:02

association Toyota. let's go places or

41:04

Jesse tell us we're just is

41:06

going as far as I his

41:08

bullpen thoughts The I mean he's

41:11

going to explore every avenue that's

41:13

for sure I asked him right

41:15

off the bat. Is it external?

41:17

Is that internal? Is that Tom?

41:19

You're just you're starting staff getting

41:21

healthy. And he said all the above and

41:23

I get it. I get it because with

41:25

Justin still back tonight Ben ground gets moved

41:27

to the bullpen. Correct! Also said that to

41:29

me earlier Brand Brown will be a part

41:31

series in the bullpen. You add a good

41:33

arm their remember which is still out there.

41:35

Kyle Hendricks is still out there is is

41:37

quite amazing how deep this starting staff could

41:39

be. Now we don't know what interest is

41:42

gonna be but you get when. I mean

41:44

they have. Arms. And are

41:46

getting healthier and whoever doesn't.

41:49

Produce. In a in the rotation might

41:51

get moved. The bullpen your as Dan Brown is

41:53

doing meanwhile he's looking external. You mean he admitted

41:55

talking to some other teams that are out of

41:57

it. He said he knew the Marlins trade for.

42:00

The rise to the Padres was.com and down the

42:02

pike because even talk in the Marlins and I

42:04

know he checked in with the other teams that

42:06

are out of. It's mostly the White Sox in

42:08

the Rocky so. On. The also said

42:10

hey, don't don't don't think that just because

42:13

Luis Arise was trade in early May, there's

42:15

gonna be a flurry of trades. It's it's

42:17

more of a one off, but I don't

42:19

think he's in any panic mode. not that

42:21

I've ever known him to panic. You're playing

42:24

well, you're getting healthier in the rotation, which

42:26

again, is gonna help the bullpen. It's really

42:28

one. Player: Out of the Pen

42:30

that's hurt them. Granted, it's the closer. And.

42:32

He certainly thinks that average is gonna get the find

42:35

it again time you ask me, Friday, you know if

42:37

I thought it is he could find it again And

42:39

I said yes And and and Jet is not going

42:41

to disagree with that opposite publicly. They. Take it

42:43

snowballed on him a little bit. Ah

42:45

but they think they have enough. They'd like Hector

42:48

Neris not to walk as many guys. but but

42:50

he thinks the glasses apple when it comes the

42:52

pan not destroy half empty. Now who knows. Another

42:54

bad month the cake is that could all change.

42:56

but you know, Ben Brown gone back there will

42:59

certainly help. Okay so who gets the ball? Tonight

43:01

is here. I try to hang onto a won

43:03

run lead the ninth. Well

43:05

let's see if by in order nearest put yesterday

43:07

right I get a look at all to use

43:09

a know we didn't he didn't pitch as getting

43:11

and eighty nine yesterday. So yeah oh it's Neris

43:13

Nurses been getting it now he's been shaky. I

43:15

thought the nearest before the game and I said

43:18

look I I, I know your tablet when you

43:20

get into trouble. Any kind of caught me off

43:22

because I don't wanna get in trouble. I don't

43:24

want that, I don't want the walks I'm I'm

43:26

just not completely locked in. For. Least he

43:28

does have the experience to get out of it.

43:31

So so yeah I did. I wasn't service uses

43:33

but yeah he'd be the guy in the nice

43:35

thing for like I said I'm Greg medicine have

43:37

been Brown will be available on at. I've a

43:39

feeling. I'm Ben Brown is convince

43:42

them he could be deployed in any situation

43:44

Now where memories already started his are you

43:46

really now? He hasn't really pitch the night.

43:49

I think if needed they would they would do it.

43:51

So of nearest had been used to de Niro and

43:53

lighter had been used. They. Wouldn't mind going

43:55

to Brown. I talked to Brown up yesterday before

43:57

the game and is. So.

44:00

We're comfortable month into this thing that he was

44:02

a few weeks ago. we the message happy to

44:04

have a major league salary which you always hear

44:06

from player so. I think they're they're

44:08

happy in it. And and dumb sir

44:10

satisfied with Brett grounds progress and would

44:12

deploy him in any situation. But there's

44:15

no doubt right now they're counting on

44:17

nearest to close out games and it

44:19

has been sick with it. As a

44:21

Jazzy there's a there's a difference between

44:23

are being in panic mode and just

44:25

seeing what we're all scene. And.

44:28

Said understanding that hey, this is

44:30

in goodness and we can't live

44:32

with us and we're giving away

44:34

too many games too early in

44:36

the season when when our pitching

44:38

staff is especially from a starting

44:41

rotation? Standpoints is just too hot

44:43

right now. So does he see

44:45

what we're all seen as an

44:47

end and is bothering him as

44:49

a party. Oh yeah

44:51

there's no doubt it is. Absolutely he said

44:53

Look at Love delivered a world that he

44:55

much these days were jam of Jonathan Papelbon,

44:57

his old Red Sox closer was was with

44:59

the team or Chapman in it's heyday with

45:02

the carbs but he's like we don't live

45:04

in that world right now we the ready

45:06

to trade for one, sign one, or develop

45:08

one other. You haven't had a history of

45:10

signing them in December, they have traded for

45:12

them mid season like Chapman Arm so it's

45:14

a little bit of his own making here.

45:17

He says all these things that need doing that

45:19

haven't done. I'm including develop when they thought maybe

45:21

they did with advert, but I think we'd all

45:24

agree adverb wasn't didn't have some great resume and

45:26

will sort of half a year last year. three

45:28

quarters of a year before he got hurt so

45:30

he sees it by Think the first option is

45:32

what I said earlier. As they get

45:34

healthy the rotation i mean who knows maybe

45:36

was nasty is next to go in the

45:39

bullpen if if which comes back and they

45:41

feel like which should be starting or maybe

45:43

it's wix that goes the bullpen. These are

45:45

good arms than brown wix was asked i

45:47

was nasty. that could help their bullpen. So

45:49

first up is assuming this health trend continues

45:52

in the rotation is trying some of these

45:54

guys in the bullpen but there's always an

45:56

injury around the corner and you you'll feel

45:58

like you're short again and. Week? who knows.

46:00

But for now, let's see what Them Brown

46:02

does. Then let's see what Wix does in

46:04

whatever role he's in. and then you'll cross

46:06

your fingers. Kyle Hendricks is going to make

46:09

a Aaa start tomorrow. They. Haven't given up

46:11

on him but I asked yeah like what what is

46:13

his decisions He said we're just going to. Deal.

46:15

With them as they happen like when Hendricks has

46:17

to come off, the I will make that decision.

46:19

When Wix comes off, the At will make that

46:22

decision. Who goes to the rotation? Who those the

46:24

pan and. Who. Goes back to the miners

46:26

are gets released like. It is. It's great

46:28

problems the have if you have everybody healthy

46:30

and they're they're trying to in that direction

46:32

or he says he hang in there as

46:34

as I want to ask you this is

46:36

there's a greater problem in a blind spot

46:38

for Giant and bag This goes back to

46:40

Ceo on the closure as you something that

46:43

you were just alluding to Iran's like a

46:45

week or two ago about this and and

46:47

pick your brain about it and then no

46:49

one is the injury situation with say I

46:51

found your I know they they address that

46:53

to and Jad and council address them. Will

46:55

talk about the series here coming up more.

46:57

With Jesse Rogers or from Wrigley Field

46:59

Gonna piss. You

47:04

are listening to the new. Model.

47:10

And. As

47:12

easy. As.

47:20

I repeatedly our conversation with Rogers

47:22

said four years as. Wrigley

47:25

said, it's cracked. Sounds good? Yeah,

47:28

it's a good summer here. With

47:31

the pubs. And

47:35

Roller Coaster Ohio class for

47:37

there. Were

47:40

you you were you? Part of the Ohio

47:42

where I was nine know fanaticism and a

47:44

fan but a fan of the I have

47:46

says the Rogers said used to join as

47:48

a brought you buy your love for Scotland

47:51

Wales dealers and the car tire and auto

47:53

hotlines we're no closer as in how he

47:55

he would like to have a guy. Like

47:59

a lockdown. Sir are I brought

48:01

this up to Waddle about a week or

48:03

two ago and Mellor under to Tyler. As

48:06

as I know it's hard to

48:08

find a closer but still dead

48:10

and Ceo going back to see

48:12

have been here for well over

48:14

a decade. If you go back

48:16

to Twenty Eleven Jesse and just

48:18

like they've had issues developing starting

48:20

pitching and now they're getting a

48:22

grasp of that. They're getting more

48:25

success with that. But since about

48:27

the closer situation and is you've

48:29

mentioned the sort of take it

48:31

a year by year it it's

48:33

hurt them. so when that when

48:35

their. Window opened they had to go

48:37

out and they had to pay for

48:39

with prospects to go on and get

48:41

sacked men and they didn't think that

48:43

they shouldn't pay for itself. Men with

48:46

a feel free to contact us to

48:48

trading prospects for I'm so they let

48:50

him go so instead as they traded

48:52

so rare for Wade Davis and again

48:54

it was like a one year deal

48:56

then you had to panic and go

48:58

out and sign of crag timbral as

49:00

and you to go out and you

49:02

had to sign is Brandon Morrow Any

49:04

see was a. Boss. So you've

49:07

never really gone out and

49:09

signed a good closer

49:11

long term know or have

49:14

you developed a young pitcher.

49:17

To inherit Zapper all. They're

49:19

always see seeing the closer role

49:22

and this has been this is

49:24

not been like a three or

49:26

four year thing in my opinion.

49:28

This is really a blind spot

49:30

for this front office. They're always

49:32

see sing or clothes or why

49:35

is that. Because. They

49:37

don't believe in spending so much money on

49:39

have bowed or situation unless it's one of

49:41

the unless it's the best the league and

49:43

I mean you answer your question. Some ways

49:45

Wade Davis didn't turn out to be the

49:47

long term answer. What if they find him

49:49

to big money on Brenden Morrow didn't turn

49:51

out to be the answer that good. Sign

49:53

up for a few bucks and it was

49:56

a waste of money. So I I think

49:58

they just don't believe in I'm using. The

50:00

pollen for that position because half the time

50:02

maybe it works at the time it doesn't

50:04

There are always open to develop with. I

50:07

agree with you that's been the problem any

50:09

kind of its senses are. They develop pitchers

50:11

under the last the last decade and stop

50:13

until recently just hasn't worked me. Then Brown

50:16

continues to show the signs of A because

50:18

he's a to pitch pitcher. Maybe the guy

50:20

he was asked yet is your future closer

50:23

on this roster and I I could have

50:25

predicted Jets answers. I I don't know, Maybe

50:27

maybe not. I don't know. What? Did

50:29

you know they do? They'll have the funds and yeah

50:31

systems to make another trade in July is not how

50:33

you want to go. About your business. I

50:36

don't disagree with you, but it is kind

50:38

of like okay. They've tried a few guys

50:40

and it hasn't worked so we've been. Kimbrell

50:42

didn't really work. For. A while there

50:44

and and he did. So it's such a

50:46

bottle positions they don't want to use their

50:48

phones on it that the Mvp like we

50:50

davis was remember running on fumes when they

50:52

ended up a training for any he was

50:54

at the end of his career. that's why

50:57

like season end up working out long term.

50:59

You know what I'm saying like a lot

51:01

of the signings were flawed moves like Brandon

51:03

Morrow was the guys as he pitched in

51:05

every game of the World Series run wine

51:07

and they signed as an abuse them you

51:09

know when I me on in Ns and

51:11

sure enough he had arm injury. Was them

51:14

as yes. Yes, No, you're not wrong,

51:16

You're right. So that the public question you know

51:18

when you have to get on next when I

51:20

get him alone is is is really this. Why?

51:23

How much you spent for one of the best

51:25

in the league? Like no one's crying about spending

51:27

on Josh Hater right? You know he's off to

51:29

a little bit a rough start but is it

51:31

it's one thing to say it's bout or but

51:33

it's not bottle when you when you go out

51:35

and get the best in the game. So his

51:37

answer I think today was kind of like well

51:39

they're not always available but sometimes they are just

51:42

a to was available this off season so I

51:44

think. Or. Fight with the answers in them

51:46

In in in in office that were say they

51:48

don't want to spend big money on one sort

51:50

of spend some and member when you do that

51:52

you're not getting the best and then it becomes

51:54

bottle and then you could say see why should

51:56

we spend on it when it does have worked

51:59

so it's almost a bit self employed. Pop the

52:01

their The ads will be developed from within but

52:03

that's not always easy as well because the night

52:05

bidding is a different animal as evidenced by whatever

52:07

outlays been taught. A lesson: The Bullpen chess. What

52:09

can you tell us about the status of say

52:11

I and Salinger. Yeah. All good

52:13

news. trending in the right direction. Suzuki Gonna

52:15

go out on a rehab assignment later in

52:18

the week. Felons, your will just get activated

52:20

later in. The weakest well at me could

52:22

be as soon as tomorrow. Ballenger they both

52:24

up hit ran the bases plate decent today

52:26

so it's just a matter of days. almost

52:28

as a setback. Soldier won't go out on

52:30

a readout because he wasn't He has a

52:33

mrs much time but Suzuki will so either

52:35

by the end of the week at the

52:37

latest you'll see both of I'm in the

52:39

lineup. I mean just cross your

52:41

fingers. I'd rather be almost as healthy

52:43

as they've been since March. Really, I'm

52:45

if nothing else happens and and when.

52:47

While I mean the way the starting

52:49

stop is is pitching and the ways

52:51

guys like I'm morale and Pico arms

52:53

are some, the young guys are taking

52:55

steps to steam, could be ready for

52:58

a run. Your they're not going to

53:00

pitch like this. You. Know forever, but

53:02

let's a glitch. at least a hidden. This is

53:04

unbelievable. This is like two thousand and sixteen is

53:06

the way they stick their their starting pitchers. gone

53:08

on around here so gotta give him credit for

53:11

that as they get healthy. I don't

53:13

know, but you guys I think this team's going

53:15

to win the division. I thought that in March

53:17

I think that even more now because you're getting

53:19

so much production from young guys are even the

53:21

minor leagues to start the season. did you give

53:24

did I miss it or digits to Missouri? Not

53:26

enough date on which given today know there really

53:28

wasn't done but nothing serious. I think they're just.

53:31

You're buying some time will go down to the minors as

53:33

well as some point. His. Was never too

53:35

serious. Me: Justin still had a forum last

53:37

or came back the Spine: Sometimes you think

53:39

the worst by fact the wix almost every

53:41

day as you feel good. So. He'll

53:43

go. I just don't know when but hook up.

53:45

We'll go for a minor league reject start but

53:47

they need to buy some time if they're going

53:50

to have too many starter so would you know

53:52

ever of as thing had numerous at home with

53:54

our side. Yeah yeah right. So they're going to

53:56

buy some time with Hendrickson wix and then and

53:58

then figured out was nasty. Will get another start

54:01

this Wednesday he's been lights out. Ah,

54:03

But boy to watch the starting staff

54:05

not give up a one all weekend.

54:07

Even though they only want to have three

54:10

but that's pretty impressive they've they've given up

54:12

to over the last thirty innings. Mrs. May

54:14

great great run. With that said, just scoop

54:16

which is a three and unless you go

54:19

to between tie on it and showed which

54:21

is more likely to maintain a high level.

54:23

Maybe not the dominance but a high level

54:26

for an extended period of time. Okay,

54:28

so I actually think the answers tie

54:30

on the way he's pontoon. First pitch

54:32

strikes the ways torn up the strike

54:34

zone. He's got experience, I'd. I'd.

54:37

Assume. I've I'm not mistaken. sort of.

54:39

First, the Padres in San Diego monsieur right?

54:41

So did. I Will be his first time

54:43

facing a team for the second time. I'm

54:46

very interested. The weather's gonna be nicer when

54:48

you're hitting conditions and now let's see what

54:50

the Potters do against in the second time.

54:52

But what he's.has been amazing. I do think

54:54

he's gonna come back down to earth little

54:57

but I mean. You. Know a council

54:59

was asked yesterday if he's surprised by what's

55:01

going on with his three starters, that of

55:03

sub to erase. He's like what what are

55:05

you basically said what do you think if

55:07

maddox cloud of smoke all had sub to

55:09

erase we'd be surprised the been it's unseen

55:12

what they're doing right now. So my him

55:14

a Naga with a point seventy tommy so

55:16

it's gonna go up. it's gonna go up.

55:18

but I do think actually tie on because

55:20

of his experience in the way he's pitching

55:22

right now is a little bit more sustainable.

55:24

There's no way in Managua to keep this

55:26

up of he does the runway. With Cy

55:29

Young, we're like thirty seconds to steal other

55:31

a petulant. It's a nice. He does

55:33

and this is where Bend Round could come in,

55:35

release and and go the long route. I don't

55:37

know how many but I don't think it's can

55:39

be more than like seventy for steel. So think

55:41

about the embed ground may be coming and later

55:43

but one way or another browser if it's really

55:45

series and my final thought his don't see says

55:47

coming to talk to the media he might join

55:49

you tomorrow. He should join you tomorrow. But I

55:52

don't think he's gonna fourteen and middleton with the

55:54

White Sox rising either. He's going to say they

55:56

gave me a good opportunity to be a major

55:58

leaguer. That's gonna be as I could. That jersey

56:00

56:02

56:04
