Giants Fall 2-1 to Astros: Roster Moves, Top-4 Farm System & Traded Players Update | Thompson 2 Clark
In this postgame and weekly edition of Thompson 2 Clark, Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales react to a tough 2-1 loss to the Astros — Houston's bullpen held the Giants to one run, and Nick Allen's go-ahead sacrifice fly in the eighth sealed it. They run through San Francisco's latest roster moves, including signing catcher Andrew Knizner, activating outfielder Victor Bericoto, and a wave of post-deadline call-ups. They also cover Baseball America's newest farm system rankings, with the Giants rocketing up to No. 4 in baseball and now boasting five top-100 prospects. Finally, they check in on how the traded players are doing in their new homes — Luis Arraez in Philadelphia, Robbie Ray struggled in his Padres debut, Heliot Ramos is settling in with the Yankees, Tyler Mahle joined the Braves rotation, and Erik Miller has already appeared out of the Red Sox bullpen.

00:10.053 --> 00:15.955
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back at Thompson Clark and I think we'll be able to get more under normal schedule starting next week.
00:16.036 --> 00:22.078
[SPEAKER_00]: My Monday nights are going to be free again, but maybe we'll choose to keep switching it up during the week.
00:22.678 --> 00:33.343
[SPEAKER_00]: No biggie if we do, but we're back here on a Wednesday, early evening after the giants gave away another game.
00:34.670 --> 00:49.541
[SPEAKER_00]: And the series to the Astros, you know, the other game, what was it a Monday night, that one was rough, but it was like, okay, we get into the extras and it's not going to be great, because they don't have a good bullpen.
00:50.062 --> 00:51.523
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of to be expected.
00:51.563 --> 00:57.167
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're only going to score three runs, okay, I get it probably a tough game to win, especially in extras.
00:57.247 --> 00:58.068
[SPEAKER_00]: And then yesterday,
01:01.330 --> 01:05.192
[SPEAKER_00]: the bullpen held strong and they win a fairly easy one.
01:06.112 --> 01:14.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we have the the third game of the series and the giant start out pretty good.
01:14.475 --> 01:17.196
[SPEAKER_00]: They score a run in the in the very first inning.
01:17.657 --> 01:21.698
[SPEAKER_00]: They actually get runners on first and second and no outs in the second.
01:21.858 --> 01:22.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe
01:32.160 --> 01:57.142
[SPEAKER_00]: what you expect to happen with this team happens they just cannot play a full game of clean baseball and I know you were out you were doing like some PT or something so you heard a lot of this on the radio broadcast and not on the TV so I was texting you when you were like Dave Fleming is going crazy right now yeah he was not having a good time with the way the defense was
01:58.783 --> 02:25.359
[SPEAKER_01]: and everything else but then you know after the game we learned that Willie's heard and we I think we kind of knew that I mean we've known for a while that he's had some back issues lower vacuishes and all that but but I mean man today watching the highlights or lowlights you know of some of his throws I was like holy moly yeah that's yeah and so what happens is is I think in what was it who opened the inning with like a rocket off of
02:26.897 --> 02:28.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was was it Alvarez.
02:28.717 --> 02:29.898
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's already an Alvarez.
02:30.198 --> 02:30.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so.
02:30.778 --> 02:37.320
[SPEAKER_00]: He hits a rocket off of the bricks out and right feel I thought the ball was out, but junk who plays it perfectly holds him to a single.
02:38.320 --> 02:39.720
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they get a double play ball.
02:39.840 --> 02:43.821
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was where you're talking about where a domis has trouble with it.
02:44.221 --> 02:47.042
[SPEAKER_00]: His toss to second was like.
02:48.663 --> 02:49.503
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like.
02:51.352 --> 03:06.552
[SPEAKER_00]: like if you were to toss a horseshoe you know how they're saying wait in a horseshoe you can't like toss it quickly it's like keep toss the ball as if the ball was like 10 pounds and so it took it it couldn't get to the second baseman that quickly they don't turn the double play
03:07.733 --> 03:12.154
[SPEAKER_00]: So that should have been two outs and instead it's one out with a runner on.
03:13.075 --> 03:15.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fly ball to Barracoto out in the field.
03:16.636 --> 03:17.696
[SPEAKER_00]: He camps under it.
03:17.836 --> 03:20.437
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of a sun problem, but he's got it all figured out.
03:20.517 --> 03:23.078
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the sun figured out, camps right under the ball.
03:23.838 --> 03:26.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead of watching the ball into the glove, I think he was like,
03:27.465 --> 03:30.107
[SPEAKER_00]: thinking the runner was going to tag up at first.
03:30.167 --> 03:32.769
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he kind of took his eye off and just drops the baseball.
03:33.430 --> 03:36.272
[SPEAKER_00]: So then, you know, then it all took was a sacrifice flying.
03:36.292 --> 03:37.253
[SPEAKER_00]: They scored the run in that inning.
03:37.273 --> 03:44.699
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, if your Hank is who comes into the game after a really strong house or start,
03:45.783 --> 04:10.628
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just get no support defensively and that's just kind of like the story of the of the season and you can't even really blame this game on the relievers it's like They can't make a mistake they strike everybody out or else they can't get the three outs and then I think keeping win gave up a triple in the eighth and then they scored so it was it but you know just one of those games where if you were like
04:11.970 --> 04:15.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I want I want to show you like you know nothing about baseball.
04:15.755 --> 04:18.659
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to show you the giant season.
04:19.900 --> 04:20.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Show me that.
04:21.833 --> 04:48.140
[SPEAKER_00]: that's seven thinning like that that's that's that's the recipe of the whole season is like you can't have too many clean innings in a row because the team just is like no we got a thorough couple away we got to drop a couple and you know it's frustrating to the point of where you're like oh no not again but at the same time you're just not surprised right you're like oh yeah we've seen this so many times this year but you know and I guess the
04:50.169 --> 04:59.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess my question is because we don't have a pulse necessarily on AAA, AA, so you know, we're not watching every single one of those games every night.
04:59.772 --> 05:04.234
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just hearing things and mostly it's about these guys at the play.
05:05.554 --> 05:07.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, is this a regular thing?
05:07.195 --> 05:12.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Is barocoto dropping fly balls and left field in AAA, every other game?
05:12.997 --> 05:18.219
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and you know, we know obviously the willy of Domus injury, but we've seen other kind of
05:19.757 --> 05:28.485
[SPEAKER_01]: weird things like when when Leonard was up and a DFA, it's the same thing in left field just over running baseballs in left field.
05:28.785 --> 05:32.208
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, are these things that are known about in AAA?
05:32.628 --> 05:35.831
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when they come up and like, ah, you know, we'll fix that or whatever.
05:36.111 --> 05:36.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
05:36.592 --> 05:41.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it, it, it, it really makes trading Elliott Ramos.
05:42.703 --> 05:47.008
[SPEAKER_01]: hurt that much more when you're running guys out there to left field to see what they can do.
05:47.489 --> 05:55.879
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, granted, Elliott Ramos was not a gold glove left fielder, but he was making plays and he was way better than he was last year.
05:55.899 --> 05:58.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year was, I mean, just an awful left fielder.
05:59.763 --> 06:05.244
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, he was a serviceable good love filter, and now we don't have that anymore.
06:05.824 --> 06:07.565
[SPEAKER_01]: And we knew it.
06:07.625 --> 06:12.726
[SPEAKER_01]: We said, you know, when the trade deadline comes and goes, this team is going to be really hard to watch some games.
06:13.806 --> 06:16.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Some games have turned into almost every game.
06:16.867 --> 06:20.008
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's getting, you know, last night was a nice win.
06:20.028 --> 06:26.069
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a game two of the series, and then you, and then you, you bookend it with two, just,
06:26.349 --> 06:27.510
[SPEAKER_00]: really ugly losses.
06:28.250 --> 06:32.333
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's going to continue to happen, but you still have to give these guys a shot.
06:32.373 --> 06:39.537
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got to work with them and you've got the coaching staff to do it, you know, that this is a major league baseball coaching staff.
06:39.557 --> 06:45.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Get out there and help these guys become filters and help them become better hitters.
06:46.962 --> 06:52.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Because again, with the way the farm system is going right now, you've got a lot of guys that you can trade that you can move that you can do different
06:55.388 --> 07:05.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, big, big time major league hitters into the ballpark and so this is your chance to say, look, I can be a serviceable left fielder.
07:05.532 --> 07:06.093
[SPEAKER_01]: I can field.
07:06.133 --> 07:07.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I can hit all of that.
07:07.293 --> 07:11.815
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is this is audition time right now.
07:11.935 --> 07:20.579
[SPEAKER_00]: And you are not over exaggerating how poorly Hackman Eddie's Leonard was playing baseballs of my field.
07:21.179 --> 07:24.681
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, you know, when when you're in Little League,
07:25.911 --> 07:35.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, okay, anything hit at an outfielder that has any sort of velocity on it.
07:36.076 --> 07:37.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they're just not going to be able to read it.
07:37.577 --> 07:39.257
[SPEAKER_00]: So it may just go over their head completely.
07:39.277 --> 07:43.479
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, they take a step in and that step in means the balls like way over their head.
07:43.599 --> 07:47.741
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, man, Eddie's Leonard is playing like literally outfield out there.
07:47.821 --> 07:50.022
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was like, no, no, you had a better line.
07:50.042 --> 07:51.063
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you say yesterday?
07:52.118 --> 07:52.598
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember.
07:53.119 --> 07:53.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:53.859 --> 07:54.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:54.420 --> 07:54.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:54.720 --> 07:55.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:55.841 --> 07:57.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Not right or left handed.
07:57.242 --> 07:59.624
[SPEAKER_00]: He just doesn't have a dominant hand.
07:59.844 --> 08:00.725
[SPEAKER_00]: He's no handed.
08:03.126 --> 08:03.807
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that line.
08:03.827 --> 08:05.328
[SPEAKER_01]: That sums it up when he said that.
08:05.368 --> 08:11.272
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, one of those guys who doesn't look like he's left handed doesn't look like he's right handed.
08:11.292 --> 08:12.633
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like he's no handed.
08:12.974 --> 08:14.195
[SPEAKER_01]: That's about right.
08:14.315 --> 08:14.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:14.555 --> 08:15.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of those plays.
08:15.796 --> 08:16.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.
08:16.296 --> 08:16.877
[SPEAKER_01]: What are we doing?
08:18.052 --> 08:23.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you know, if, uh, William Domus's hurt, we saw Buddy Kennedy go to shortstop today.
08:23.916 --> 08:27.499
[SPEAKER_00]: I think after it came out of the game, is that, is that what happened or did cost move over?
08:27.519 --> 08:30.201
[SPEAKER_00]: I think cost move over actually, and then I believe so.
08:30.221 --> 08:30.401
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:30.461 --> 08:31.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Kennedy went to the corner.
08:32.462 --> 08:43.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, uh, if a Domus is out, like, not that he's having a terrific season, but at least he's your everyday guy there that's just another, you
08:46.813 --> 08:55.541
[SPEAKER_00]: like I don't think that they're on their way to losing a hundred games, but if the bottom has not fallen out completely yet, they could like lose a hundred games.
08:55.561 --> 08:56.922
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like not out of the question.
08:58.164 --> 09:02.127
[SPEAKER_01]: But as you know, over 20 games under at this point, right?
09:02.247 --> 09:04.750
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, I haven't looked lately at the standies.
09:05.050 --> 09:08.974
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got used to wake up every morning and look at the standings, you know, the last few years.
09:09.234 --> 09:10.375
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't do that right now because
09:10.515 --> 09:16.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't need to so 21 games under 500 as a right now.
09:16.080 --> 09:20.064
[SPEAKER_01]: So Man Not great.
09:20.284 --> 09:22.266
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the last time when we were 20 games under 500?
09:22.286 --> 09:22.566
[SPEAKER_01]: 2019, right?
09:22.586 --> 09:23.527
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe We was around 2019.
09:23.587 --> 09:23.808
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
09:30.427 --> 09:41.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever, whatever the worst team in recent memory is, because there was a team that was close to 100 losses within the last 10 years.
09:42.354 --> 09:50.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever that was, it's that and the 1985 team that are the worst teams in the last 40 years or so.
09:50.758 --> 09:52.479
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of what we're looking at.
09:53.079 --> 09:53.439
[SPEAKER_01]: 2009.
09:53.819 --> 09:57.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So what finished 20 games under 500?
09:57.940 --> 10:01.921
[SPEAKER_01]: 2018 finished 22 games under 500.
10:01.941 --> 10:06.182
[SPEAKER_01]: And then so do you guys?
10:06.302 --> 10:06.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:06.902 --> 10:07.222
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
10:07.382 --> 10:10.243
[SPEAKER_01]: So those were the two, those were the two ugly ones.
10:10.263 --> 10:10.783
[SPEAKER_01]: So there you go.
10:13.103 --> 10:16.384
[SPEAKER_00]: And where are the Rockies?
10:17.204 --> 10:20.085
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rockies are only two games below us.
10:21.397 --> 10:22.379
[SPEAKER_00]: they are.
10:23.540 --> 10:25.062
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it comes in, right?
10:25.283 --> 10:25.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:26.104 --> 10:27.386
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's it.
10:29.409 --> 10:32.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the angels are angels are 46 and 74.
10:34.075 --> 10:37.741
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's three games, three and a half games worse than us.
10:40.560 --> 10:47.384
[SPEAKER_01]: Athletics, the good old athletics, 47 and 74, they're, that's three games, three full games.
10:48.105 --> 10:49.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Angels are three and a half.
10:50.626 --> 10:54.109
[SPEAKER_01]: On that, that's pretty much the royals have 72 losses.
10:54.249 --> 10:55.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, I didn't really laugh at that.
10:55.690 --> 10:56.330
[SPEAKER_01]: That's nuts.
10:56.670 --> 10:57.911
[SPEAKER_01]: I was looking, I was wrong.
10:57.971 --> 11:01.373
[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot about the 2017 Giants.
11:01.994 --> 11:03.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's not forget about the 2017 Giants, 67 and 95.
11:07.848 --> 11:10.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that was, yeah, I do remember that.
11:11.069 --> 11:14.450
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a year after going 90 and 72, I know.
11:14.570 --> 11:17.511
[SPEAKER_01]: 90 wins, and then 95 losses the next year.
11:17.531 --> 11:18.651
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a hell of a drop off.
11:19.851 --> 11:22.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Jans are also three games under 500 at home.
11:24.393 --> 11:25.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not great.
11:25.993 --> 11:26.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Not great.
11:26.813 --> 11:29.334
[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta be like the games over 500 at home.
11:29.674 --> 11:30.474
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got to be.
11:30.514 --> 11:34.936
[SPEAKER_01]: If you wanna be a decent enough team, you gotta be 10 games over 500 at home.
11:35.116 --> 11:35.776
[SPEAKER_01]: You just have to.
11:36.809 --> 11:37.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:38.049 --> 11:40.710
[SPEAKER_00]: And the giants, like I said, the Rockies coming at town.
11:40.770 --> 11:48.773
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, if you're going to win a two out of three series, because they haven't had a sweepy at this year, nope.
11:48.853 --> 11:55.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the teams are probably a little too close to where we can say, you know, they have a good chance, like at least, at least got take two out of three at home.
11:56.376 --> 11:59.017
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they go into Cleveland
12:02.892 --> 12:09.855
[SPEAKER_00]: We hope we get to see Marcelo Meyer because the giants go into Boston to play the Red Sox.
12:09.895 --> 12:14.056
[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be a nice homecoming for Marcelo and Devers.
12:14.717 --> 12:15.357
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
12:15.877 --> 12:16.777
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, you know.
12:18.618 --> 12:24.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Not not that not that the guardians themselves are like this fantastic team, you know, they're struggling.
12:24.822 --> 12:30.866
[SPEAKER_00]: They're four games under 500, but you know the Red Soxer, they're fighting for for that playoff spot.
12:30.946 --> 12:36.170
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they're what are they are they the third playoff right now second or third
12:36.930 --> 12:42.912
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I believe so and they're on that just absolute historic tear right now too.
12:43.012 --> 12:46.192
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's, you know, that's going to be fun.
12:46.212 --> 12:47.513
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to go into Boston.
12:47.773 --> 12:53.594
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to boo the hell out of Devers and they're writing the super high right now.
12:53.674 --> 12:55.915
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to have to face Eric Miller a couple of times too.
12:56.255 --> 13:00.076
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's actually crazy about the red socks 29 and 31 at home 35 and 24 on the road.
13:00.096 --> 13:00.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
13:04.508 --> 13:05.068
[SPEAKER_00]: it's interesting.
13:05.808 --> 13:07.569
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder what that actually means.
13:08.309 --> 13:09.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
13:10.709 --> 13:13.430
[SPEAKER_00]: It means baseball is a long weird season.
13:13.470 --> 13:14.910
[SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly what it means.
13:16.150 --> 13:16.390
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
13:16.410 --> 13:23.352
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's look at some of the transactions that have happened in the past week or so.
13:24.392 --> 13:28.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got to see Trent Harris come up.
13:29.635 --> 13:31.581
[SPEAKER_00]: from Sacramento.
13:32.624 --> 13:34.549
[SPEAKER_00]: Zach Morgan, we hardly knew ya.
13:36.068 --> 13:39.991
[SPEAKER_00]: When Su-Sack went down, he fractured his kneecap.
13:40.011 --> 13:41.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he foul a ball?
13:41.071 --> 13:42.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, how did that happen?
13:42.132 --> 13:45.194
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he fouled a ball off of his kneecap and started limping her.
13:45.254 --> 13:47.095
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it looked like he was shot.
13:47.255 --> 13:53.219
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the way he reacted afterwards and Croukenkeye thought he hit it off of his foot.
13:53.839 --> 13:55.620
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought, oh, no, that's a good broken toe.
13:55.700 --> 13:59.022
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's, yeah, I mean, he was an excruciating pain.
13:59.062 --> 14:00.523
[SPEAKER_01]: He actually went down to the ground.
14:02.609 --> 14:08.636
[SPEAKER_01]: and then when he got up he limped off a little bit and then he tried to run in a little bit and he went ahead and finished that bat.
14:08.716 --> 14:09.697
[SPEAKER_01]: It was an ugly bat.
14:09.717 --> 14:14.763
[SPEAKER_01]: He struck out swinging a pitches out of his own, but at that point he was probably in a tremendous amount of paint.
14:15.704 --> 14:19.949
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he came out and caught the next inning and then after that that was it.
14:20.270 --> 14:20.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So
14:21.641 --> 14:32.695
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I have also fractured my patella in a batters box before booties, but in my case, uh, it just kept moving.
14:34.076 --> 14:36.279
[SPEAKER_00]: I planted my back knee.
14:37.402 --> 14:38.123
[SPEAKER_00]: to swing.
14:39.083 --> 14:44.767
[SPEAKER_00]: And as I was going through my follow-through on my swing, actually, I was going through the swing, swings going through the strike.
14:44.787 --> 14:53.914
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I actually made contact with the ball and dumped it into right field, and then my kneecap just started moving in a yeah, that that was that was not fantastic.
14:53.954 --> 14:55.996
[SPEAKER_01]: But I imagine you didn't make it to first space.
14:56.545 --> 14:59.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no, if I would have made it the first base, we win the game.
14:59.727 --> 15:02.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh geez, I couldn't make it for me out of first and we lost.
15:02.809 --> 15:06.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no, let's pick it as like, yeah, we're making a comeback.
15:07.391 --> 15:08.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I think bags were juiced.
15:09.112 --> 15:11.574
[SPEAKER_00]: We're playing at the old San Jose State practice field.
15:11.854 --> 15:13.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, which was a nice practice field.
15:14.095 --> 15:14.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a good feel.
15:15.076 --> 15:21.659
[SPEAKER_00]: And guys coming in like throwing smoke and I'm just like fighting fighting fighting.
15:21.699 --> 15:39.770
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fighting off sliders and fastballs and he throws a slider and I dump it into right and we only need two to win and guys barreling around third radius score and he's sliding into me and I'm on the floor at home because I can't get up into her space.
15:43.652 --> 15:58.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's that's rough for Susack and you know, Susack has had a, I would say a pretty decent season and you know, for Giants fans probably thinking like, yeah, you know, compared to Patrick Bailey.
15:59.705 --> 16:08.971
[SPEAKER_00]: if anybody's having a decent season, but still like, you know, you're replacing a gold glove catcher and you're formidable behind the plate and you actually hit in the baseball a little bit.
16:09.031 --> 16:11.353
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a good good season and good story for him.
16:11.373 --> 16:21.820
[SPEAKER_00]: And I imagine he comes into camp next year, you know, ready to fight for a spot unless the giant's trade for somebody, but he's, you know, pretty pretty decent season for him.
16:21.900 --> 16:25.243
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but so Zach Morgan gets called up by the rivercats.
16:26.400 --> 16:30.965
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess he would have dressed.
16:31.005 --> 16:34.830
[SPEAKER_00]: He would have made it for the one game, like mid game, right?
16:34.870 --> 16:37.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he made it, but it was after the game it started.
16:37.773 --> 16:44.961
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they signed our old friend, the nizler, because it can nizler, or different.
16:48.082 --> 17:17.360
[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard it's, I've heard it's a nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice
17:18.133 --> 17:21.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, you know, he got a one day paycheck in the bigs.
17:21.114 --> 17:22.835
[SPEAKER_00]: At least, yep, sure.
17:22.975 --> 17:26.536
[SPEAKER_00]: And, uh, listener is is back with the team.
17:26.776 --> 17:27.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, who did he get?
17:27.897 --> 17:29.257
[SPEAKER_00]: He got dropped from somebody.
17:29.337 --> 17:30.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody dropped him.
17:30.798 --> 17:35.300
[SPEAKER_01]: He was, I want to say Atlanta.
17:35.380 --> 17:35.960
[SPEAKER_01]: No, Texas.
17:36.160 --> 17:37.701
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a, no, you guys are not.
17:38.061 --> 17:38.661
[SPEAKER_01]: No, sorry.
17:38.841 --> 17:39.781
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where he was.
17:40.482 --> 17:42.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, is it the A's or something?
17:43.023 --> 17:43.543
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
17:44.322 --> 17:45.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'll, I'll, I'll find out.
17:45.623 --> 17:52.049
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to look at his minor league numbers here because he wasn't in the bigs anywhere this year.
17:52.189 --> 17:54.211
[SPEAKER_00]: He was, oh, yeah, he wasn't at all.
17:55.032 --> 17:59.997
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he wasn't Colorado system and then Boston system.
18:00.780 --> 18:23.016
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... and then drop the warchester red stocks released him yes i like looking at the aid you ever look at the age difference of players on uh... baseball reference uh... you know he's a triple a catcher so his his age difference between him and other players in triple a's that in in Boston was five years
18:24.037 --> 18:28.539
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's five years older than most players, I believe, in AAA.
18:28.839 --> 18:42.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I guess I go by like an average, but Just tells you like a everyday crash Davis 30 31 year old over the hill So then
18:44.512 --> 18:47.373
[SPEAKER_00]: So then who else came up so bear code I meant we mentioned bear code.
18:47.393 --> 18:48.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's back with the club.
18:48.773 --> 18:55.355
[SPEAKER_00]: He was activated yesterday off the 10 day Eddie Eddie's Leonard Hackman went went down
19:08.498 --> 19:11.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I think James fans were really just waiting for Marcelo Meyer.
19:11.939 --> 19:20.743
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the idea is he's coming up at some point, but he's got to do his rehab assignment and the expect him to be back on the road trip.
19:20.803 --> 19:25.825
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's Cleveland or Boston, but I know that they got to want him for that Boston series.
19:26.045 --> 19:27.125
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got to want that too.
19:27.606 --> 19:27.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:28.346 --> 19:29.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would think so.
19:31.167 --> 19:44.425
[SPEAKER_01]: If he's got to do a rehab assignment, he'd better get to it, because when his Boston Thursday of next week, a week from Thursday, somewhere in there, so yeah, it could probably do it.
19:47.009 --> 19:47.449
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
19:49.053 --> 20:06.980
[SPEAKER_00]: let's look at you sent me a list and this is from the around the fog horn website the giant's blog and open it here they're talking about how the players of the giant's traded at the deadline.
20:07.780 --> 20:08.421
[SPEAKER_00]: are fairing.
20:08.461 --> 20:11.183
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was written the yesterday.
20:11.283 --> 20:13.625
[SPEAKER_00]: So if anything happened today, we don't have that.
20:14.346 --> 20:23.274
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was kind of fun to look at because based on how they have performed so far, the two guys who performed the best.
20:24.391 --> 20:28.934
[SPEAKER_00]: one Tyler Malley and Eric Miller for pictures.
20:29.735 --> 20:43.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Miller in the Red Sox bullpen has had three appearances has not given up a run, but Malley and his first start with the braves against the Yankees, sixth scoreless and struck out nine.
20:44.513 --> 20:48.415
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are the guys that have performed the best.
20:48.475 --> 20:54.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I think everybody was kind of like wondering about a rise because he wasn't all star.
20:55.760 --> 21:01.463
[SPEAKER_00]: And he started out fairly well, but he's gone over in a few games here.
21:02.023 --> 21:04.285
[SPEAKER_00]: So I saw something where
21:05.345 --> 21:15.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Philly's fans were like this is the longest hitless at bat streak that arise has been in all year of course it's with us because we're cursed that's not that going around.
21:16.097 --> 21:26.289
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know what Philly fans don't understand that he could easily go four for five and three games in a row so they'll they'll they'll see something they'll see something soon.
21:27.515 --> 21:28.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
21:28.775 --> 21:36.658
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Caleb Killian, who, you know, I think we saw the first day he went he got in the game.
21:36.778 --> 21:38.619
[SPEAKER_00]: He just poured gasoline on a fire.
21:39.239 --> 21:46.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, five earned runs in three to third before going on the IL with an oblique and it sounds like he's going to be out for a while.
21:47.431 --> 22:12.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Now when you see that you got a wonder was it that he was like after he got traded did he lift up a suitcase like a heavy suitcase and like you know this oblique or something I mean you know you go to another team and boom you've got an oblique injury so you know you always wondered did it happen on the transfer over on the flight on something that he turned wrong you know you never know I don't kind of crazy
22:13.692 --> 22:30.590
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got good old Robbie Ray in his first start in San Diego five innings give up four earnings five walks seven hits so not not a great start and also they trade it for Casey Meizu also had a pretty bad first start.
22:31.591 --> 22:35.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And then alien ramos he struggled at the plate.
22:36.463 --> 22:50.347
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think sometimes because of his persona and he's always like very positive smiling kind of happy even when he's not performing well some fans don't like that very much and he I know they already
23:02.271 --> 23:02.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
23:02.871 --> 23:12.023
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that that's you know been reported on that's my favorite part like and the one thing that you mentioned and you've mentioned this about some of our guys in that
23:13.268 --> 23:18.954
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you play in San Francisco, and the media is pretty fair.
23:19.635 --> 23:21.877
[SPEAKER_00]: You go to some of these other markets like New York.
23:22.037 --> 23:24.420
[SPEAKER_00]: They do not care about your feelings by friends.
23:24.480 --> 23:25.861
[SPEAKER_00]: So, not at all.
23:26.262 --> 23:34.771
[SPEAKER_00]: For Aliot's sake, and because we like him as a player, I hope that he, you know, he starts playing better, so that he doesn't really...
23:35.812 --> 23:43.034
[SPEAKER_00]: become, you know, one of the, the punching bags over there, because they're always looking for someone to blame for a season.
23:43.174 --> 23:46.836
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I mean, and you mentioned West Coast media too.
23:46.876 --> 23:52.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if this was, if this was the East Coast of
23:57.999 --> 24:06.081
[SPEAKER_01]: And he went there and in two starts at a 4.09 ERA and 11 innings give a five-run runs.
24:07.122 --> 24:10.963
[SPEAKER_01]: They'd be destroying them right now, but because it's happening in L.A.
24:11.163 --> 24:13.624
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, hmm, it'll be fine.
24:15.504 --> 24:20.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Which he probably will be, you know, and the playoffs it'll be, you know, even more fine.
24:23.063 --> 24:33.005
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go back to Meyer for a sec because he is the one guy who we're actually going to get to see play this year who came over in the trade.
24:35.246 --> 24:51.650
[SPEAKER_00]: With the craziness going on with the team right on and look if if a domis is out for any amount of time maybe Meyer play shortstop he plays all the infield positions and I think I've read that he's probably more of a second baseman in a third baseman than he's a shortstop.
24:52.710 --> 25:15.635
[SPEAKER_00]: uh but you know there's opportunity there uh there's opportunity what I mean what I could see happening is you're basabi at second myr third and you move cost to short you could see that as a possibility if a domus is hurt but I I would like for them to make for the softest landing for him you know
25:16.526 --> 25:37.799
[SPEAKER_00]: like he's been through so much as as a big leagueers for his expectations and injuries and frustration with the fan base and all this, but let's soften the landing for this dude so that he can come in and and hopefully produce and hopefully show some signs of positivity that he could build on to for next year when they are going to need him.
25:38.439 --> 26:00.456
[SPEAKER_00]: because I think they're going to be depending on him to be a regular, maybe not an everyday player at a specific position, but because of the offensive and infield flexibility along with Casey Schmidt, you got two guys that you can just plug and play and you should be able to find 450 to 500 ABs for both of them if they're hitting.
26:01.517 --> 26:06.842
[SPEAKER_00]: and you know, fit just figure out how to fit them on the on the on the team and defensively.
26:06.903 --> 26:10.686
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would I'm interested in what their plan is for him.
26:11.525 --> 26:16.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine they want to bring him in a little bit more slowly than probably fans want to see.
26:16.649 --> 26:20.752
[SPEAKER_00]: I think fans just got, you know, shows this play this guy every day for the rest of the season.
26:20.812 --> 26:22.093
[SPEAKER_00]: He is coming off of an injury.
26:22.113 --> 26:23.174
[SPEAKER_00]: So you do got to be careful.
26:23.734 --> 26:24.635
[SPEAKER_00]: But what do you think?
26:24.715 --> 26:29.298
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you want to see from Marcelo Mayer this year, or Meyer?
26:29.799 --> 26:33.642
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, in all honesty, you can plug in anybody at a short stop right now and, and.
26:35.356 --> 26:38.758
[SPEAKER_01]: you're not going to get a drop-off in terms of defensive production.
26:39.839 --> 26:42.060
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wouldn't mind seeing him a short stop.
26:42.100 --> 26:45.582
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't mind seeing him anywhere he needs to be on the infield.
26:46.303 --> 26:48.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Second base would be good.
26:51.917 --> 26:54.420
[SPEAKER_01]: But you still want to get a busobay, is that bad?
26:54.500 --> 26:55.982
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think you can move them around.
26:56.022 --> 26:59.205
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you can kind of plug in man almost anywhere.
26:59.526 --> 27:09.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, second base is open, third base is open, and short stop could possibly be open because you could see a domas on the IL if the back problem is even worse.
27:10.277 --> 27:15.159
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a preference, I would like to see him just at the plate get some consistent at bats.
27:16.439 --> 27:22.521
[SPEAKER_01]: I think wherever is most, you know, like you said, at least distracting for him on the infield will be great.
27:23.161 --> 27:31.024
[SPEAKER_01]: If you plug him in at a third and then put costs at short, I mean, again, you're not going to get a huge drop-off in terms of, you know,
27:31.964 --> 27:49.330
[SPEAKER_01]: in terms of defense right now at short stop from from willy um so i i think i'd like to see him probably play short stop and stick there for maybe the rest of the season and then you go in the off season you figure out what what what are you going to do now or worst case you're shmicking and go
27:50.790 --> 28:02.156
[SPEAKER_01]: Chapman will be healthy again, a domas will be healthy again, and now you have less spots for him As he your second basement and then Schmidt is now a DH slash third basement.
28:02.176 --> 28:18.224
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's there's a that that's for the off season But right now, I think I'd like to see him plug in a short stop and take some games from from Willie and let him rest a little bit Yeah, there'd be it'd be nice because if Willie if this is more of a thing that Willie has just been battling all year long
28:19.677 --> 28:32.362
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't need to be battling it anymore, like let's just put him on the aisle, let him relax, let him deal with, you know, getting healthy for next year because, you know, the thing that the thing about the back is.
28:33.677 --> 28:40.943
[SPEAKER_00]: if he's been dealing with a back injury, he's got a violent swing and I have not seen a change in how hard his swing is.
28:40.963 --> 28:43.565
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of interesting and how he's dealing with it.
28:43.625 --> 28:52.793
[SPEAKER_00]: If it has been an issue, because the man swings the bat hard, but you know, for him to be struggling on defense is was kind of interesting.
28:53.873 --> 28:58.637
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's end this show with discussion.
28:59.727 --> 29:05.934
[SPEAKER_00]: about the baseball America list that just came out where they ranked all the farm systems.
29:07.376 --> 29:16.867
[SPEAKER_00]: And the giants ranked number four, they made up 10 spots from the beginning of the season.
29:17.628 --> 29:19.210
[SPEAKER_00]: And six more spots.
29:20.163 --> 29:29.546
[SPEAKER_00]: from the middle of the season on this list, meaning the trade deadline jumped them up six spots and some other teams traded some of their prospects.
29:29.566 --> 29:31.607
[SPEAKER_00]: So they they could probably jump backwards there.
29:32.407 --> 29:34.808
[SPEAKER_00]: But Giants had number four.
29:34.908 --> 29:38.229
[SPEAKER_00]: When's the last time the Giants were this high on a list like this?
29:39.269 --> 29:40.650
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I honestly don't know.
29:40.890 --> 29:43.192
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember them being in the top five ever.
29:44.573 --> 29:45.294
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we haven't been.
29:47.115 --> 29:56.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how long I've been following the farm system rankings probably the last 10 years, but I know in the last 10 years it was not this high.
29:56.061 --> 29:56.962
[SPEAKER_01]: It's possible.
29:58.621 --> 30:06.188
[SPEAKER_01]: In like 20, 2008, 9, 10, it's possible that it could have been that high.
30:06.208 --> 30:13.175
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be fun to go back and look to see if we can find those, but the fact that they jump the Dodgers is kind of awesome.
30:14.757 --> 30:15.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Dodgers are what?
30:16.398 --> 30:17.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Sixth right now.
30:18.720 --> 30:29.231
[SPEAKER_01]: And the giants have popped up, but then again, when you look at, you know, how many top 100 players these teams have the giants have five and the Dodgers still have seven and the top 100.
30:29.291 --> 30:39.642
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, a little bit a little bit weighted on the top end for the Dodgers and the giants kind of seem to have like really good performances from all of their farm system guys.
30:41.085 --> 30:44.347
[SPEAKER_01]: this season all the way down to like rookie ball.
30:45.107 --> 30:58.275
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that helps the giants rankings quite a bit is that everybody in the minor leagues is having you know really good high load seasons and that's gonna help your rankings quite a bit.
30:58.595 --> 31:01.277
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really exciting to see because I've always been a proponent of um
31:02.477 --> 31:28.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Build a farm system, use those guys to trade for major league talent that have like three or four years of control left Because free agency in San Francisco has not just not been lucky for us the last five or six years So maybe even longer than that so so to be able to have those chips I think is really nice Especially near the trade deadline
31:29.705 --> 31:37.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, to get a guy and we used to say to get a guy like Paul schemes, but I don't know, it's happened in the schemes this year.
31:38.047 --> 31:39.447
[SPEAKER_01]: He's having a rough season.
31:39.787 --> 31:49.209
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so to get a picture because, you know, although the giants are really developing pitching right now, they would draft it a lot of pitching, they traded for a lot of pitching.
31:49.229 --> 31:54.690
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so to be able to go on and get like we're talking about that, that left field right
31:57.751 --> 32:05.795
[SPEAKER_01]: That a guy who's like, hey, I don't want to go plan oracle, so I'm not going to sign there for seven years, but if you could trade for him and have him for three or four years, I think that's great.
32:05.895 --> 32:09.957
[SPEAKER_01]: So having a farm system like that is very exciting for Giants fans.
32:10.852 --> 32:16.375
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, did you hear what happened to the Dodgers owner who also owned the Lakers?
32:17.876 --> 32:20.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I saw something about he was under an investigation.
32:21.638 --> 32:25.461
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's under an investigation and just this morning.
32:25.621 --> 32:29.823
[SPEAKER_00]: So he bought the Lakers last year, right?
32:30.744 --> 32:33.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just sold them again today.
32:34.046 --> 32:37.048
[SPEAKER_01]: I did see the sale go through to a Kushner, right?
32:37.817 --> 32:45.398
[SPEAKER_00]: to Josh Kushner and Bob Eiger, I guess is gonna run the team.
32:45.618 --> 32:47.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, the old CEO of Disney.
32:47.979 --> 32:48.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
32:48.799 --> 32:50.839
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of interesting.
32:50.879 --> 33:01.361
[SPEAKER_00]: And just the timing of it all because of the investigation that we started hearing about, and he only had the the lakeers for less, I think less than a year actually, maybe.
33:02.061 --> 33:03.022
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of weird.
33:03.182 --> 33:04.842
[SPEAKER_00]: Something strange is going on over there.
33:05.922 --> 33:24.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was talking to some some LA fans and they were saying that he specifically is not in favor because I guess he had some equity or he had something in some ice detention centers that he may have
33:25.664 --> 33:29.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He may not have any equity in those anymore, but there was something there.
33:29.506 --> 33:38.470
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, LA, you know, big, there were some heat on the Dodgers like having some sort of ice.
33:39.951 --> 33:43.813
[SPEAKER_00]: They did something in their parking lot where they were like helping ice or something last year.
33:43.833 --> 33:44.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I remember that.
33:45.254 --> 33:51.337
[SPEAKER_00]: And, but I think they're trying to clean that up, but yeah, he was attached to that in some way in his past.
33:51.397 --> 33:54.118
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, that's kind of interesting stuff going on over there.
33:54.398 --> 33:55.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that Mark Walter?
33:55.800 --> 33:57.201
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that who we're talking about, huh?
33:57.221 --> 33:57.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
33:57.622 --> 34:04.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because he also appointed far on to help out, I believe, with with with the lakeers too.
34:04.509 --> 34:04.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
34:05.550 --> 34:08.133
[SPEAKER_01]: That's some good, some, some ties back to us.
34:08.213 --> 34:09.134
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's yeah.
34:09.735 --> 34:12.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's going to be a lot of things in the next few years.
34:12.358 --> 34:13.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, who had?
34:14.360 --> 34:18.962
[SPEAKER_01]: money tied to different political parties that have been doing some weird stuff.
34:19.743 --> 34:21.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, hopefully there's going to be more.
34:22.604 --> 34:23.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just say that.
34:23.585 --> 34:28.287
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully there's going to be more bust and crack downs, but we'll see.
34:30.545 --> 34:33.887
[SPEAKER_00]: So just to kind of clean up and finish up the list.
34:34.007 --> 34:48.935
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Giants had Joe Swarkins, all of us at number 18, Luis Hernandez at number 36, Johnny level at 50, and the way the Johnny level is hitting he may be on his way further up this list by the time.
34:49.495 --> 34:52.097
[SPEAKER_00]: We see the list at the beginning of next year.
34:53.017 --> 34:55.478
[SPEAKER_00]: Bo Davinson at 84.
34:55.678 --> 34:57.458
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are the folks who are there.
34:57.498 --> 35:00.419
[SPEAKER_00]: And then also Jackson Flores at 51.
35:00.479 --> 35:00.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
35:01.439 --> 35:03.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, I got five guys.
35:03.300 --> 35:12.722
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the outside looking in Henry L'Alani, Peyton Bonds, Caden Kent, tugboat.
35:13.222 --> 35:14.483
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if we see the tugboat.
35:14.943 --> 35:15.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see the tugboat.
35:16.343 --> 35:17.343
[SPEAKER_01]: I would hope so.
35:18.084 --> 35:18.984
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he on the 40 men?
35:19.104 --> 35:19.784
[SPEAKER_01]: I can have to look there.
35:20.968 --> 35:42.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we did talk about last week how guys might be hesitant to put people on the 40 man because next year if there is a lockout players who are not on the 40 man can play minor league baseball, but if you're on the 40 man you cannot play minor league baseball, so that that is interesting.
35:43.141 --> 35:43.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
35:43.461 --> 35:57.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so just from Vatelo today after the game, he said, he doesn't think Willie's back issue will lead to an injury list, a stint, but he'll likely sit on Friday to let it calm down.
35:57.891 --> 35:58.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
35:58.451 --> 35:59.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that makes sense.
35:59.372 --> 35:59.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm looking.
36:00.012 --> 36:01.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking, I'm looking tugboat.
36:02.934 --> 36:05.496
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not believe, no, he's not on the 40 man.
36:05.536 --> 36:06.877
[SPEAKER_01]: So that might be a tough one.
36:08.076 --> 36:14.219
[SPEAKER_00]: That might be a tough one and that could be the reason we're not seeing a lot of these guys Oh, I mean, you're looking at the 40 man.
36:15.900 --> 36:18.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, we were just talking about catchers.
36:18.941 --> 36:23.143
[SPEAKER_01]: How about this for an all-star 40 man catcher list?
36:23.183 --> 36:26.844
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got Su-sac, Hazus Rodriguez, both on the aisle.
36:27.384 --> 36:31.926
[SPEAKER_01]: You got Zach Morgan, Andrew Nizzner, and Drew Cavanaugh.
36:32.706 --> 36:33.267
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a.
36:34.327 --> 36:35.807
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to make you salivate, right?
36:39.288 --> 36:53.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and a lot of these guys on the 40 man, I don't think they would necessarily be there in a regular season, but but heading into possible lockout, you can see why some of the other guys are not there yet.
36:54.692 --> 36:59.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is going to be a sad fall slash winter.
37:01.240 --> 37:03.342
[SPEAKER_00]: with the lockout stuff that is coming.
37:03.622 --> 37:06.606
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know how we're going to even talk about it or cover it.
37:06.646 --> 37:08.828
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, what are we going to talk about at that time?
37:09.328 --> 37:10.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
37:10.149 --> 37:21.220
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we're not going to talk about the negotiations because that will more than a lot of people, but I mean, some of it will be interesting, but a lot of it will just be like a bunch of whiny, crybaby's fighting with each other.
37:21.581 --> 37:22.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
37:22.882 --> 37:33.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what we've done in the past, too, when we've had issues and, you know, COVID and all that other stuff, we've taken a look at some teams from the past and some different things, and that's always kind of fun to do.
37:33.347 --> 37:33.768
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to do.
37:33.788 --> 37:40.011
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've got to think we have to think of something creative, but, you know, we don't also, we don't record every week during that time frame.
37:40.051 --> 37:43.432
[SPEAKER_00]: So once the world series is over, we'll probably change up the schedule a little bit.
37:43.853 --> 37:44.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
37:44.673 --> 37:47.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all right, your any vacations coming up?
37:52.322 --> 38:13.135
[SPEAKER_01]: it's very short and it's not going to mess with the show but we're leaving a week from Thursday heading to to Oracle Park to go see a concert not not a giant's game no games going to see a concert driving in on a Thursday going on the concert on Friday driving home Saturday so we're
38:17.277 --> 38:18.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you staying in San Francisco?
38:18.858 --> 38:29.207
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're going to stay in San Francisco next to the ballpark, and then that way we could just hop in there, get some driving, get some seafood, go to the concert, and I'll definitely go to the shop.
38:29.407 --> 38:30.448
[SPEAKER_01]: We're at the giant shop.
38:31.249 --> 38:33.931
[SPEAKER_01]: I know we're boycotting a little bit, but I want to say.
38:35.692 --> 38:36.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I buy a ride hat.
38:37.013 --> 38:37.393
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.
38:37.433 --> 38:38.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there you go.
38:38.314 --> 38:40.095
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the hat that I want to exactly.
38:40.175 --> 38:47.819
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, look at all that and then and that's that's it and then we've got Vegas for a couple days.
38:47.839 --> 38:49.800
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got New Orleans for a week.
38:49.860 --> 38:54.102
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good old ass dude a week in New Orleans.
38:54.442 --> 38:55.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's going to be quick.
38:55.863 --> 39:01.846
[SPEAKER_01]: But before we do that we're going to be I'm going to see you because that'll be the trip that we're going to be in.
39:03.704 --> 39:09.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Santa Clara for Bruno Mars so that's very you and I will get what what month is that again?
39:09.666 --> 39:10.847
[SPEAKER_01]: That's October.
39:11.187 --> 39:11.647
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
39:12.027 --> 39:13.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Early-ish October.
39:13.228 --> 39:28.733
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to go to we've decided we want to hit Monterey for a couple of days with the kids, show them the aquarium and then you know on our way into Santa Clara we'll probably swing by like capitol or Santa Cruz show us and then head over so yeah so before sweet.
39:29.654 --> 39:29.994
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
39:31.042 --> 39:50.427
[SPEAKER_00]: That is going to be it from here, not not a whole lot to talk about for this series, but you know, there's going to be stuff to talk about, especially if they bring up some players, we could have talked a little bit about Bryce Eldridge going through a little bit of a rough spot, but he had a ginormous jack yesterday at the opposite field.
39:51.147 --> 39:52.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Which was nice to see.
39:52.188 --> 40:03.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we'll save we'll save our bright stuff for later in in the season because he's going to be somebody that we're going to want to talk about and if we can pair him.
40:04.393 --> 40:20.363
[SPEAKER_00]: with Meyer and, you know, you got some other younger guys coming up, boat Davidson possibly parks harbour, maybe some of those guys actually become players in your, you know, then you're talking about rooting for some young guys again, like we, we did when we were kids.
40:20.463 --> 40:21.584
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, for sure.
40:21.984 --> 40:23.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Looking for it.
40:23.866 --> 40:24.546
[SPEAKER_00]: That is it from here.
40:24.606 --> 40:29.309
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Brad, I am double G. We will see you when we see you piece out.
40:29.810 --> 40:30.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Peace.
00:10.053 --> 00:15.955
[SPEAKER_00]: We're back at Thompson Clark and I think we'll be able to get more under normal schedule starting next week.
00:16.036 --> 00:22.078
[SPEAKER_00]: My Monday nights are going to be free again, but maybe we'll choose to keep switching it up during the week.
00:22.678 --> 00:33.343
[SPEAKER_00]: No biggie if we do, but we're back here on a Wednesday, early evening after the giants gave away another game.
00:34.670 --> 00:49.541
[SPEAKER_00]: And the series to the Astros, you know, the other game, what was it a Monday night, that one was rough, but it was like, okay, we get into the extras and it's not going to be great, because they don't have a good bullpen.
00:50.062 --> 00:51.523
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of to be expected.
00:51.563 --> 00:57.167
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're only going to score three runs, okay, I get it probably a tough game to win, especially in extras.
00:57.247 --> 00:58.068
[SPEAKER_00]: And then yesterday,
01:01.330 --> 01:05.192
[SPEAKER_00]: the bullpen held strong and they win a fairly easy one.
01:06.112 --> 01:14.195
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we have the the third game of the series and the giant start out pretty good.
01:14.475 --> 01:17.196
[SPEAKER_00]: They score a run in the in the very first inning.
01:17.657 --> 01:21.698
[SPEAKER_00]: They actually get runners on first and second and no outs in the second.
01:21.858 --> 01:22.278
[SPEAKER_00]: I believe
01:32.160 --> 01:57.142
[SPEAKER_00]: what you expect to happen with this team happens they just cannot play a full game of clean baseball and I know you were out you were doing like some PT or something so you heard a lot of this on the radio broadcast and not on the TV so I was texting you when you were like Dave Fleming is going crazy right now yeah he was not having a good time with the way the defense was
01:58.783 --> 02:25.359
[SPEAKER_01]: and everything else but then you know after the game we learned that Willie's heard and we I think we kind of knew that I mean we've known for a while that he's had some back issues lower vacuishes and all that but but I mean man today watching the highlights or lowlights you know of some of his throws I was like holy moly yeah that's yeah and so what happens is is I think in what was it who opened the inning with like a rocket off of
02:26.897 --> 02:28.377
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it was was it Alvarez.
02:28.717 --> 02:29.898
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's already an Alvarez.
02:30.198 --> 02:30.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so.
02:30.778 --> 02:37.320
[SPEAKER_00]: He hits a rocket off of the bricks out and right feel I thought the ball was out, but junk who plays it perfectly holds him to a single.
02:38.320 --> 02:39.720
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they get a double play ball.
02:39.840 --> 02:43.821
[SPEAKER_00]: And this was where you're talking about where a domis has trouble with it.
02:44.221 --> 02:47.042
[SPEAKER_00]: His toss to second was like.
02:48.663 --> 02:49.503
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like.
02:51.352 --> 03:06.552
[SPEAKER_00]: like if you were to toss a horseshoe you know how they're saying wait in a horseshoe you can't like toss it quickly it's like keep toss the ball as if the ball was like 10 pounds and so it took it it couldn't get to the second baseman that quickly they don't turn the double play
03:07.733 --> 03:12.154
[SPEAKER_00]: So that should have been two outs and instead it's one out with a runner on.
03:13.075 --> 03:15.876
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a fly ball to Barracoto out in the field.
03:16.636 --> 03:17.696
[SPEAKER_00]: He camps under it.
03:17.836 --> 03:20.437
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of a sun problem, but he's got it all figured out.
03:20.517 --> 03:23.078
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the sun figured out, camps right under the ball.
03:23.838 --> 03:26.599
[SPEAKER_00]: Instead of watching the ball into the glove, I think he was like,
03:27.465 --> 03:30.107
[SPEAKER_00]: thinking the runner was going to tag up at first.
03:30.167 --> 03:32.769
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he kind of took his eye off and just drops the baseball.
03:33.430 --> 03:36.272
[SPEAKER_00]: So then, you know, then it all took was a sacrifice flying.
03:36.292 --> 03:37.253
[SPEAKER_00]: They scored the run in that inning.
03:37.273 --> 03:44.699
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, if your Hank is who comes into the game after a really strong house or start,
03:45.783 --> 04:10.628
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just get no support defensively and that's just kind of like the story of the of the season and you can't even really blame this game on the relievers it's like They can't make a mistake they strike everybody out or else they can't get the three outs and then I think keeping win gave up a triple in the eighth and then they scored so it was it but you know just one of those games where if you were like
04:11.970 --> 04:15.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I want I want to show you like you know nothing about baseball.
04:15.755 --> 04:18.659
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to show you the giant season.
04:19.900 --> 04:20.581
[SPEAKER_00]: Show me that.
04:21.833 --> 04:48.140
[SPEAKER_00]: that's seven thinning like that that's that's that's the recipe of the whole season is like you can't have too many clean innings in a row because the team just is like no we got a thorough couple away we got to drop a couple and you know it's frustrating to the point of where you're like oh no not again but at the same time you're just not surprised right you're like oh yeah we've seen this so many times this year but you know and I guess the
04:50.169 --> 04:59.092
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess my question is because we don't have a pulse necessarily on AAA, AA, so you know, we're not watching every single one of those games every night.
04:59.772 --> 05:04.234
[SPEAKER_01]: We're just hearing things and mostly it's about these guys at the play.
05:05.554 --> 05:07.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, is this a regular thing?
05:07.195 --> 05:12.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Is barocoto dropping fly balls and left field in AAA, every other game?
05:12.997 --> 05:18.219
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, and you know, we know obviously the willy of Domus injury, but we've seen other kind of
05:19.757 --> 05:28.485
[SPEAKER_01]: weird things like when when Leonard was up and a DFA, it's the same thing in left field just over running baseballs in left field.
05:28.785 --> 05:32.208
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, are these things that are known about in AAA?
05:32.628 --> 05:35.831
[SPEAKER_01]: And then when they come up and like, ah, you know, we'll fix that or whatever.
05:36.111 --> 05:36.352
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
05:36.592 --> 05:41.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it, it, it, it really makes trading Elliott Ramos.
05:42.703 --> 05:47.008
[SPEAKER_01]: hurt that much more when you're running guys out there to left field to see what they can do.
05:47.489 --> 05:55.879
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, granted, Elliott Ramos was not a gold glove left fielder, but he was making plays and he was way better than he was last year.
05:55.899 --> 05:58.842
[SPEAKER_01]: Last year was, I mean, just an awful left fielder.
05:59.763 --> 06:05.244
[SPEAKER_01]: This year, he was a serviceable good love filter, and now we don't have that anymore.
06:05.824 --> 06:07.565
[SPEAKER_01]: And we knew it.
06:07.625 --> 06:12.726
[SPEAKER_01]: We said, you know, when the trade deadline comes and goes, this team is going to be really hard to watch some games.
06:13.806 --> 06:16.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Some games have turned into almost every game.
06:16.867 --> 06:20.008
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's getting, you know, last night was a nice win.
06:20.028 --> 06:26.069
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, a game two of the series, and then you, and then you, you bookend it with two, just,
06:26.349 --> 06:27.510
[SPEAKER_00]: really ugly losses.
06:28.250 --> 06:32.333
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's going to continue to happen, but you still have to give these guys a shot.
06:32.373 --> 06:39.537
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got to work with them and you've got the coaching staff to do it, you know, that this is a major league baseball coaching staff.
06:39.557 --> 06:45.261
[SPEAKER_01]: Get out there and help these guys become filters and help them become better hitters.
06:46.962 --> 06:52.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Because again, with the way the farm system is going right now, you've got a lot of guys that you can trade that you can move that you can do different
06:55.388 --> 07:05.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, big, big time major league hitters into the ballpark and so this is your chance to say, look, I can be a serviceable left fielder.
07:05.532 --> 07:06.093
[SPEAKER_01]: I can field.
07:06.133 --> 07:07.253
[SPEAKER_01]: I can hit all of that.
07:07.293 --> 07:11.815
[SPEAKER_01]: So this is this is audition time right now.
07:11.935 --> 07:20.579
[SPEAKER_00]: And you are not over exaggerating how poorly Hackman Eddie's Leonard was playing baseballs of my field.
07:21.179 --> 07:24.681
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, you know, when when you're in Little League,
07:25.911 --> 07:35.996
[SPEAKER_00]: And you're like, okay, anything hit at an outfielder that has any sort of velocity on it.
07:36.076 --> 07:37.517
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they're just not going to be able to read it.
07:37.577 --> 07:39.257
[SPEAKER_00]: So it may just go over their head completely.
07:39.277 --> 07:43.479
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, they take a step in and that step in means the balls like way over their head.
07:43.599 --> 07:47.741
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, man, Eddie's Leonard is playing like literally outfield out there.
07:47.821 --> 07:50.022
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, it was like, no, no, you had a better line.
07:50.042 --> 07:51.063
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you say yesterday?
07:52.118 --> 07:52.598
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember.
07:53.119 --> 07:53.759
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:53.859 --> 07:54.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:54.420 --> 07:54.700
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:54.720 --> 07:55.340
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
07:55.841 --> 07:57.182
[SPEAKER_00]: Not right or left handed.
07:57.242 --> 07:59.624
[SPEAKER_00]: He just doesn't have a dominant hand.
07:59.844 --> 08:00.725
[SPEAKER_00]: He's no handed.
08:03.126 --> 08:03.807
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that line.
08:03.827 --> 08:05.328
[SPEAKER_01]: That sums it up when he said that.
08:05.368 --> 08:11.272
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like, one of those guys who doesn't look like he's left handed doesn't look like he's right handed.
08:11.292 --> 08:12.633
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like he's no handed.
08:12.974 --> 08:14.195
[SPEAKER_01]: That's about right.
08:14.315 --> 08:14.535
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:14.555 --> 08:15.716
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of those plays.
08:15.796 --> 08:16.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God.
08:16.296 --> 08:16.877
[SPEAKER_01]: What are we doing?
08:18.052 --> 08:23.316
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you know, if, uh, William Domus's hurt, we saw Buddy Kennedy go to shortstop today.
08:23.916 --> 08:27.499
[SPEAKER_00]: I think after it came out of the game, is that, is that what happened or did cost move over?
08:27.519 --> 08:30.201
[SPEAKER_00]: I think cost move over actually, and then I believe so.
08:30.221 --> 08:30.401
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:30.461 --> 08:31.562
[SPEAKER_00]: Kennedy went to the corner.
08:32.462 --> 08:43.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, uh, if a Domus is out, like, not that he's having a terrific season, but at least he's your everyday guy there that's just another, you
08:46.813 --> 08:55.541
[SPEAKER_00]: like I don't think that they're on their way to losing a hundred games, but if the bottom has not fallen out completely yet, they could like lose a hundred games.
08:55.561 --> 08:56.922
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like not out of the question.
08:58.164 --> 09:02.127
[SPEAKER_01]: But as you know, over 20 games under at this point, right?
09:02.247 --> 09:04.750
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, yeah, I haven't looked lately at the standies.
09:05.050 --> 09:08.974
[SPEAKER_00]: It's got used to wake up every morning and look at the standings, you know, the last few years.
09:09.234 --> 09:10.375
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't do that right now because
09:10.515 --> 09:16.000
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't I don't need to so 21 games under 500 as a right now.
09:16.080 --> 09:20.064
[SPEAKER_01]: So Man Not great.
09:20.284 --> 09:22.266
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the last time when we were 20 games under 500?
09:22.286 --> 09:22.566
[SPEAKER_01]: 2019, right?
09:22.586 --> 09:23.527
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe We was around 2019.
09:23.587 --> 09:23.808
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah
09:30.427 --> 09:41.513
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever, whatever the worst team in recent memory is, because there was a team that was close to 100 losses within the last 10 years.
09:42.354 --> 09:50.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Whatever that was, it's that and the 1985 team that are the worst teams in the last 40 years or so.
09:50.758 --> 09:52.479
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of what we're looking at.
09:53.079 --> 09:53.439
[SPEAKER_01]: 2009.
09:53.819 --> 09:57.220
[SPEAKER_01]: So what finished 20 games under 500?
09:57.940 --> 10:01.921
[SPEAKER_01]: 2018 finished 22 games under 500.
10:01.941 --> 10:06.182
[SPEAKER_01]: And then so do you guys?
10:06.302 --> 10:06.582
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:06.902 --> 10:07.222
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
10:07.382 --> 10:10.243
[SPEAKER_01]: So those were the two, those were the two ugly ones.
10:10.263 --> 10:10.783
[SPEAKER_01]: So there you go.
10:13.103 --> 10:16.384
[SPEAKER_00]: And where are the Rockies?
10:17.204 --> 10:20.085
[SPEAKER_00]: The Rockies are only two games below us.
10:21.397 --> 10:22.379
[SPEAKER_00]: they are.
10:23.540 --> 10:25.062
[SPEAKER_01]: That's it comes in, right?
10:25.283 --> 10:25.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
10:26.104 --> 10:27.386
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's it.
10:29.409 --> 10:32.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, the angels are angels are 46 and 74.
10:34.075 --> 10:37.741
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's three games, three and a half games worse than us.
10:40.560 --> 10:47.384
[SPEAKER_01]: Athletics, the good old athletics, 47 and 74, they're, that's three games, three full games.
10:48.105 --> 10:49.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Angels are three and a half.
10:50.626 --> 10:54.109
[SPEAKER_01]: On that, that's pretty much the royals have 72 losses.
10:54.249 --> 10:55.530
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, I didn't really laugh at that.
10:55.690 --> 10:56.330
[SPEAKER_01]: That's nuts.
10:56.670 --> 10:57.911
[SPEAKER_01]: I was looking, I was wrong.
10:57.971 --> 11:01.373
[SPEAKER_01]: I forgot about the 2017 Giants.
11:01.994 --> 11:03.615
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's not forget about the 2017 Giants, 67 and 95.
11:07.848 --> 11:10.869
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow, that was, yeah, I do remember that.
11:11.069 --> 11:14.450
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a year after going 90 and 72, I know.
11:14.570 --> 11:17.511
[SPEAKER_01]: 90 wins, and then 95 losses the next year.
11:17.531 --> 11:18.651
[SPEAKER_01]: That was a hell of a drop off.
11:19.851 --> 11:22.832
[SPEAKER_00]: Jans are also three games under 500 at home.
11:24.393 --> 11:25.413
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not great.
11:25.993 --> 11:26.553
[SPEAKER_01]: Not great.
11:26.813 --> 11:29.334
[SPEAKER_01]: You gotta be like the games over 500 at home.
11:29.674 --> 11:30.474
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got to be.
11:30.514 --> 11:34.936
[SPEAKER_01]: If you wanna be a decent enough team, you gotta be 10 games over 500 at home.
11:35.116 --> 11:35.776
[SPEAKER_01]: You just have to.
11:36.809 --> 11:37.069
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
11:38.049 --> 11:40.710
[SPEAKER_00]: And the giants, like I said, the Rockies coming at town.
11:40.770 --> 11:48.773
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, if you're going to win a two out of three series, because they haven't had a sweepy at this year, nope.
11:48.853 --> 11:55.696
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the teams are probably a little too close to where we can say, you know, they have a good chance, like at least, at least got take two out of three at home.
11:56.376 --> 11:59.017
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they go into Cleveland
12:02.892 --> 12:09.855
[SPEAKER_00]: We hope we get to see Marcelo Meyer because the giants go into Boston to play the Red Sox.
12:09.895 --> 12:14.056
[SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be a nice homecoming for Marcelo and Devers.
12:14.717 --> 12:15.357
[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
12:15.877 --> 12:16.777
[SPEAKER_00]: That's, you know.
12:18.618 --> 12:24.802
[SPEAKER_00]: Not not that not that the guardians themselves are like this fantastic team, you know, they're struggling.
12:24.822 --> 12:30.866
[SPEAKER_00]: They're four games under 500, but you know the Red Soxer, they're fighting for for that playoff spot.
12:30.946 --> 12:36.170
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they're what are they are they the third playoff right now second or third
12:36.930 --> 12:42.912
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I believe so and they're on that just absolute historic tear right now too.
12:43.012 --> 12:46.192
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's, you know, that's going to be fun.
12:46.212 --> 12:47.513
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to go into Boston.
12:47.773 --> 12:53.594
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to boo the hell out of Devers and they're writing the super high right now.
12:53.674 --> 12:55.915
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're going to have to face Eric Miller a couple of times too.
12:56.255 --> 13:00.076
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's actually crazy about the red socks 29 and 31 at home 35 and 24 on the road.
13:00.096 --> 13:00.256
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
13:04.508 --> 13:05.068
[SPEAKER_00]: it's interesting.
13:05.808 --> 13:07.569
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder what that actually means.
13:08.309 --> 13:09.389
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
13:10.709 --> 13:13.430
[SPEAKER_00]: It means baseball is a long weird season.
13:13.470 --> 13:14.910
[SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly what it means.
13:16.150 --> 13:16.390
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
13:16.410 --> 13:23.352
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's look at some of the transactions that have happened in the past week or so.
13:24.392 --> 13:28.553
[SPEAKER_00]: So we got to see Trent Harris come up.
13:29.635 --> 13:31.581
[SPEAKER_00]: from Sacramento.
13:32.624 --> 13:34.549
[SPEAKER_00]: Zach Morgan, we hardly knew ya.
13:36.068 --> 13:39.991
[SPEAKER_00]: When Su-Sack went down, he fractured his kneecap.
13:40.011 --> 13:41.051
[SPEAKER_00]: Did he foul a ball?
13:41.071 --> 13:42.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, how did that happen?
13:42.132 --> 13:45.194
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he fouled a ball off of his kneecap and started limping her.
13:45.254 --> 13:47.095
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it looked like he was shot.
13:47.255 --> 13:53.219
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the way he reacted afterwards and Croukenkeye thought he hit it off of his foot.
13:53.839 --> 13:55.620
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought, oh, no, that's a good broken toe.
13:55.700 --> 13:59.022
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's, yeah, I mean, he was an excruciating pain.
13:59.062 --> 14:00.523
[SPEAKER_01]: He actually went down to the ground.
14:02.609 --> 14:08.636
[SPEAKER_01]: and then when he got up he limped off a little bit and then he tried to run in a little bit and he went ahead and finished that bat.
14:08.716 --> 14:09.697
[SPEAKER_01]: It was an ugly bat.
14:09.717 --> 14:14.763
[SPEAKER_01]: He struck out swinging a pitches out of his own, but at that point he was probably in a tremendous amount of paint.
14:15.704 --> 14:19.949
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he came out and caught the next inning and then after that that was it.
14:20.270 --> 14:20.390
[SPEAKER_01]: So
14:21.641 --> 14:32.695
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I have also fractured my patella in a batters box before booties, but in my case, uh, it just kept moving.
14:34.076 --> 14:36.279
[SPEAKER_00]: I planted my back knee.
14:37.402 --> 14:38.123
[SPEAKER_00]: to swing.
14:39.083 --> 14:44.767
[SPEAKER_00]: And as I was going through my follow-through on my swing, actually, I was going through the swing, swings going through the strike.
14:44.787 --> 14:53.914
[SPEAKER_00]: So when I actually made contact with the ball and dumped it into right field, and then my kneecap just started moving in a yeah, that that was that was not fantastic.
14:53.954 --> 14:55.996
[SPEAKER_01]: But I imagine you didn't make it to first space.
14:56.545 --> 14:59.327
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no, if I would have made it the first base, we win the game.
14:59.727 --> 15:02.388
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh geez, I couldn't make it for me out of first and we lost.
15:02.809 --> 15:06.791
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh no, let's pick it as like, yeah, we're making a comeback.
15:07.391 --> 15:08.772
[SPEAKER_00]: I think bags were juiced.
15:09.112 --> 15:11.574
[SPEAKER_00]: We're playing at the old San Jose State practice field.
15:11.854 --> 15:13.715
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, which was a nice practice field.
15:14.095 --> 15:14.855
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's a good feel.
15:15.076 --> 15:21.659
[SPEAKER_00]: And guys coming in like throwing smoke and I'm just like fighting fighting fighting.
15:21.699 --> 15:39.770
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm fighting off sliders and fastballs and he throws a slider and I dump it into right and we only need two to win and guys barreling around third radius score and he's sliding into me and I'm on the floor at home because I can't get up into her space.
15:43.652 --> 15:58.941
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, that's that's rough for Susack and you know, Susack has had a, I would say a pretty decent season and you know, for Giants fans probably thinking like, yeah, you know, compared to Patrick Bailey.
15:59.705 --> 16:08.971
[SPEAKER_00]: if anybody's having a decent season, but still like, you know, you're replacing a gold glove catcher and you're formidable behind the plate and you actually hit in the baseball a little bit.
16:09.031 --> 16:11.353
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a good good season and good story for him.
16:11.373 --> 16:21.820
[SPEAKER_00]: And I imagine he comes into camp next year, you know, ready to fight for a spot unless the giant's trade for somebody, but he's, you know, pretty pretty decent season for him.
16:21.900 --> 16:25.243
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but so Zach Morgan gets called up by the rivercats.
16:26.400 --> 16:30.965
[SPEAKER_00]: And I guess he would have dressed.
16:31.005 --> 16:34.830
[SPEAKER_00]: He would have made it for the one game, like mid game, right?
16:34.870 --> 16:37.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Like he made it, but it was after the game it started.
16:37.773 --> 16:44.961
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they signed our old friend, the nizler, because it can nizler, or different.
16:48.082 --> 17:17.360
[SPEAKER_00]: I've heard it's, I've heard it's a nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice
17:18.133 --> 17:21.074
[SPEAKER_00]: I think, you know, he got a one day paycheck in the bigs.
17:21.114 --> 17:22.835
[SPEAKER_00]: At least, yep, sure.
17:22.975 --> 17:26.536
[SPEAKER_00]: And, uh, listener is is back with the team.
17:26.776 --> 17:27.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, who did he get?
17:27.897 --> 17:29.257
[SPEAKER_00]: He got dropped from somebody.
17:29.337 --> 17:30.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Somebody dropped him.
17:30.798 --> 17:35.300
[SPEAKER_01]: He was, I want to say Atlanta.
17:35.380 --> 17:35.960
[SPEAKER_01]: No, Texas.
17:36.160 --> 17:37.701
[SPEAKER_01]: He was a, no, you guys are not.
17:38.061 --> 17:38.661
[SPEAKER_01]: No, sorry.
17:38.841 --> 17:39.781
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where he was.
17:40.482 --> 17:42.122
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, is it the A's or something?
17:43.023 --> 17:43.543
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
17:44.322 --> 17:45.603
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I'll, I'll, I'll find out.
17:45.623 --> 17:52.049
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to look at his minor league numbers here because he wasn't in the bigs anywhere this year.
17:52.189 --> 17:54.211
[SPEAKER_00]: He was, oh, yeah, he wasn't at all.
17:55.032 --> 17:59.997
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he wasn't Colorado system and then Boston system.
18:00.780 --> 18:23.016
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... and then drop the warchester red stocks released him yes i like looking at the aid you ever look at the age difference of players on uh... baseball reference uh... you know he's a triple a catcher so his his age difference between him and other players in triple a's that in in Boston was five years
18:24.037 --> 18:28.539
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's five years older than most players, I believe, in AAA.
18:28.839 --> 18:42.564
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I guess I go by like an average, but Just tells you like a everyday crash Davis 30 31 year old over the hill So then
18:44.512 --> 18:47.373
[SPEAKER_00]: So then who else came up so bear code I meant we mentioned bear code.
18:47.393 --> 18:48.713
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, he's back with the club.
18:48.773 --> 18:55.355
[SPEAKER_00]: He was activated yesterday off the 10 day Eddie Eddie's Leonard Hackman went went down
19:08.498 --> 19:11.799
[SPEAKER_00]: I think James fans were really just waiting for Marcelo Meyer.
19:11.939 --> 19:20.743
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the idea is he's coming up at some point, but he's got to do his rehab assignment and the expect him to be back on the road trip.
19:20.803 --> 19:25.825
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if it's Cleveland or Boston, but I know that they got to want him for that Boston series.
19:26.045 --> 19:27.125
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got to want that too.
19:27.606 --> 19:27.866
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:28.346 --> 19:29.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would think so.
19:31.167 --> 19:44.425
[SPEAKER_01]: If he's got to do a rehab assignment, he'd better get to it, because when his Boston Thursday of next week, a week from Thursday, somewhere in there, so yeah, it could probably do it.
19:47.009 --> 19:47.449
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
19:49.053 --> 20:06.980
[SPEAKER_00]: let's look at you sent me a list and this is from the around the fog horn website the giant's blog and open it here they're talking about how the players of the giant's traded at the deadline.
20:07.780 --> 20:08.421
[SPEAKER_00]: are fairing.
20:08.461 --> 20:11.183
[SPEAKER_00]: So this was written the yesterday.
20:11.283 --> 20:13.625
[SPEAKER_00]: So if anything happened today, we don't have that.
20:14.346 --> 20:23.274
[SPEAKER_00]: But it was kind of fun to look at because based on how they have performed so far, the two guys who performed the best.
20:24.391 --> 20:28.934
[SPEAKER_00]: one Tyler Malley and Eric Miller for pictures.
20:29.735 --> 20:43.345
[SPEAKER_00]: Miller in the Red Sox bullpen has had three appearances has not given up a run, but Malley and his first start with the braves against the Yankees, sixth scoreless and struck out nine.
20:44.513 --> 20:48.415
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are the guys that have performed the best.
20:48.475 --> 20:54.899
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, I think everybody was kind of like wondering about a rise because he wasn't all star.
20:55.760 --> 21:01.463
[SPEAKER_00]: And he started out fairly well, but he's gone over in a few games here.
21:02.023 --> 21:04.285
[SPEAKER_00]: So I saw something where
21:05.345 --> 21:15.657
[SPEAKER_00]: Philly's fans were like this is the longest hitless at bat streak that arise has been in all year of course it's with us because we're cursed that's not that going around.
21:16.097 --> 21:26.289
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know what Philly fans don't understand that he could easily go four for five and three games in a row so they'll they'll they'll see something they'll see something soon.
21:27.515 --> 21:28.395
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
21:28.775 --> 21:36.658
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Caleb Killian, who, you know, I think we saw the first day he went he got in the game.
21:36.778 --> 21:38.619
[SPEAKER_00]: He just poured gasoline on a fire.
21:39.239 --> 21:46.282
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, five earned runs in three to third before going on the IL with an oblique and it sounds like he's going to be out for a while.
21:47.431 --> 22:12.405
[SPEAKER_01]: Now when you see that you got a wonder was it that he was like after he got traded did he lift up a suitcase like a heavy suitcase and like you know this oblique or something I mean you know you go to another team and boom you've got an oblique injury so you know you always wondered did it happen on the transfer over on the flight on something that he turned wrong you know you never know I don't kind of crazy
22:13.692 --> 22:30.590
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we got good old Robbie Ray in his first start in San Diego five innings give up four earnings five walks seven hits so not not a great start and also they trade it for Casey Meizu also had a pretty bad first start.
22:31.591 --> 22:35.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And then alien ramos he struggled at the plate.
22:36.463 --> 22:50.347
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think sometimes because of his persona and he's always like very positive smiling kind of happy even when he's not performing well some fans don't like that very much and he I know they already
23:02.271 --> 23:02.791
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
23:02.871 --> 23:12.023
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that that's you know been reported on that's my favorite part like and the one thing that you mentioned and you've mentioned this about some of our guys in that
23:13.268 --> 23:18.954
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you play in San Francisco, and the media is pretty fair.
23:19.635 --> 23:21.877
[SPEAKER_00]: You go to some of these other markets like New York.
23:22.037 --> 23:24.420
[SPEAKER_00]: They do not care about your feelings by friends.
23:24.480 --> 23:25.861
[SPEAKER_00]: So, not at all.
23:26.262 --> 23:34.771
[SPEAKER_00]: For Aliot's sake, and because we like him as a player, I hope that he, you know, he starts playing better, so that he doesn't really...
23:35.812 --> 23:43.034
[SPEAKER_00]: become, you know, one of the, the punching bags over there, because they're always looking for someone to blame for a season.
23:43.174 --> 23:46.836
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I mean, and you mentioned West Coast media too.
23:46.876 --> 23:52.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if this was, if this was the East Coast of
23:57.999 --> 24:06.081
[SPEAKER_01]: And he went there and in two starts at a 4.09 ERA and 11 innings give a five-run runs.
24:07.122 --> 24:10.963
[SPEAKER_01]: They'd be destroying them right now, but because it's happening in L.A.
24:11.163 --> 24:13.624
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, hmm, it'll be fine.
24:15.504 --> 24:20.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Which he probably will be, you know, and the playoffs it'll be, you know, even more fine.
24:23.063 --> 24:33.005
[SPEAKER_00]: So let's go back to Meyer for a sec because he is the one guy who we're actually going to get to see play this year who came over in the trade.
24:35.246 --> 24:51.650
[SPEAKER_00]: With the craziness going on with the team right on and look if if a domis is out for any amount of time maybe Meyer play shortstop he plays all the infield positions and I think I've read that he's probably more of a second baseman in a third baseman than he's a shortstop.
24:52.710 --> 25:15.635
[SPEAKER_00]: uh but you know there's opportunity there uh there's opportunity what I mean what I could see happening is you're basabi at second myr third and you move cost to short you could see that as a possibility if a domus is hurt but I I would like for them to make for the softest landing for him you know
25:16.526 --> 25:37.799
[SPEAKER_00]: like he's been through so much as as a big leagueers for his expectations and injuries and frustration with the fan base and all this, but let's soften the landing for this dude so that he can come in and and hopefully produce and hopefully show some signs of positivity that he could build on to for next year when they are going to need him.
25:38.439 --> 26:00.456
[SPEAKER_00]: because I think they're going to be depending on him to be a regular, maybe not an everyday player at a specific position, but because of the offensive and infield flexibility along with Casey Schmidt, you got two guys that you can just plug and play and you should be able to find 450 to 500 ABs for both of them if they're hitting.
26:01.517 --> 26:06.842
[SPEAKER_00]: and you know, fit just figure out how to fit them on the on the on the team and defensively.
26:06.903 --> 26:10.686
[SPEAKER_00]: So I would I'm interested in what their plan is for him.
26:11.525 --> 26:16.429
[SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine they want to bring him in a little bit more slowly than probably fans want to see.
26:16.649 --> 26:20.752
[SPEAKER_00]: I think fans just got, you know, shows this play this guy every day for the rest of the season.
26:20.812 --> 26:22.093
[SPEAKER_00]: He is coming off of an injury.
26:22.113 --> 26:23.174
[SPEAKER_00]: So you do got to be careful.
26:23.734 --> 26:24.635
[SPEAKER_00]: But what do you think?
26:24.715 --> 26:29.298
[SPEAKER_00]: What do you want to see from Marcelo Mayer this year, or Meyer?
26:29.799 --> 26:33.642
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, in all honesty, you can plug in anybody at a short stop right now and, and.
26:35.356 --> 26:38.758
[SPEAKER_01]: you're not going to get a drop-off in terms of defensive production.
26:39.839 --> 26:42.060
[SPEAKER_01]: So I wouldn't mind seeing him a short stop.
26:42.100 --> 26:45.582
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't mind seeing him anywhere he needs to be on the infield.
26:46.303 --> 26:48.284
[SPEAKER_01]: Second base would be good.
26:51.917 --> 26:54.420
[SPEAKER_01]: But you still want to get a busobay, is that bad?
26:54.500 --> 26:55.982
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think you can move them around.
26:56.022 --> 26:59.205
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you can kind of plug in man almost anywhere.
26:59.526 --> 27:09.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, second base is open, third base is open, and short stop could possibly be open because you could see a domas on the IL if the back problem is even worse.
27:10.277 --> 27:15.159
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't have a preference, I would like to see him just at the plate get some consistent at bats.
27:16.439 --> 27:22.521
[SPEAKER_01]: I think wherever is most, you know, like you said, at least distracting for him on the infield will be great.
27:23.161 --> 27:31.024
[SPEAKER_01]: If you plug him in at a third and then put costs at short, I mean, again, you're not going to get a huge drop-off in terms of, you know,
27:31.964 --> 27:49.330
[SPEAKER_01]: in terms of defense right now at short stop from from willy um so i i think i'd like to see him probably play short stop and stick there for maybe the rest of the season and then you go in the off season you figure out what what what are you going to do now or worst case you're shmicking and go
27:50.790 --> 28:02.156
[SPEAKER_01]: Chapman will be healthy again, a domas will be healthy again, and now you have less spots for him As he your second basement and then Schmidt is now a DH slash third basement.
28:02.176 --> 28:18.224
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's there's a that that's for the off season But right now, I think I'd like to see him plug in a short stop and take some games from from Willie and let him rest a little bit Yeah, there'd be it'd be nice because if Willie if this is more of a thing that Willie has just been battling all year long
28:19.677 --> 28:32.362
[SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't need to be battling it anymore, like let's just put him on the aisle, let him relax, let him deal with, you know, getting healthy for next year because, you know, the thing that the thing about the back is.
28:33.677 --> 28:40.943
[SPEAKER_00]: if he's been dealing with a back injury, he's got a violent swing and I have not seen a change in how hard his swing is.
28:40.963 --> 28:43.565
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of interesting and how he's dealing with it.
28:43.625 --> 28:52.793
[SPEAKER_00]: If it has been an issue, because the man swings the bat hard, but you know, for him to be struggling on defense is was kind of interesting.
28:53.873 --> 28:58.637
[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's end this show with discussion.
28:59.727 --> 29:05.934
[SPEAKER_00]: about the baseball America list that just came out where they ranked all the farm systems.
29:07.376 --> 29:16.867
[SPEAKER_00]: And the giants ranked number four, they made up 10 spots from the beginning of the season.
29:17.628 --> 29:19.210
[SPEAKER_00]: And six more spots.
29:20.163 --> 29:29.546
[SPEAKER_00]: from the middle of the season on this list, meaning the trade deadline jumped them up six spots and some other teams traded some of their prospects.
29:29.566 --> 29:31.607
[SPEAKER_00]: So they they could probably jump backwards there.
29:32.407 --> 29:34.808
[SPEAKER_00]: But Giants had number four.
29:34.908 --> 29:38.229
[SPEAKER_00]: When's the last time the Giants were this high on a list like this?
29:39.269 --> 29:40.650
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I honestly don't know.
29:40.890 --> 29:43.192
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't remember them being in the top five ever.
29:44.573 --> 29:45.294
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, we haven't been.
29:47.115 --> 29:56.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how long I've been following the farm system rankings probably the last 10 years, but I know in the last 10 years it was not this high.
29:56.061 --> 29:56.962
[SPEAKER_01]: It's possible.
29:58.621 --> 30:06.188
[SPEAKER_01]: In like 20, 2008, 9, 10, it's possible that it could have been that high.
30:06.208 --> 30:13.175
[SPEAKER_01]: It'd be fun to go back and look to see if we can find those, but the fact that they jump the Dodgers is kind of awesome.
30:14.757 --> 30:15.778
[SPEAKER_01]: Dodgers are what?
30:16.398 --> 30:17.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Sixth right now.
30:18.720 --> 30:29.231
[SPEAKER_01]: And the giants have popped up, but then again, when you look at, you know, how many top 100 players these teams have the giants have five and the Dodgers still have seven and the top 100.
30:29.291 --> 30:39.642
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, a little bit a little bit weighted on the top end for the Dodgers and the giants kind of seem to have like really good performances from all of their farm system guys.
30:41.085 --> 30:44.347
[SPEAKER_01]: this season all the way down to like rookie ball.
30:45.107 --> 30:58.275
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that helps the giants rankings quite a bit is that everybody in the minor leagues is having you know really good high load seasons and that's gonna help your rankings quite a bit.
30:58.595 --> 31:01.277
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really exciting to see because I've always been a proponent of um
31:02.477 --> 31:28.885
[SPEAKER_01]: Build a farm system, use those guys to trade for major league talent that have like three or four years of control left Because free agency in San Francisco has not just not been lucky for us the last five or six years So maybe even longer than that so so to be able to have those chips I think is really nice Especially near the trade deadline
31:29.705 --> 31:37.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, to get a guy and we used to say to get a guy like Paul schemes, but I don't know, it's happened in the schemes this year.
31:38.047 --> 31:39.447
[SPEAKER_01]: He's having a rough season.
31:39.787 --> 31:49.209
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so to get a picture because, you know, although the giants are really developing pitching right now, they would draft it a lot of pitching, they traded for a lot of pitching.
31:49.229 --> 31:54.690
[SPEAKER_01]: So, so to be able to go on and get like we're talking about that, that left field right
31:57.751 --> 32:05.795
[SPEAKER_01]: That a guy who's like, hey, I don't want to go plan oracle, so I'm not going to sign there for seven years, but if you could trade for him and have him for three or four years, I think that's great.
32:05.895 --> 32:09.957
[SPEAKER_01]: So having a farm system like that is very exciting for Giants fans.
32:10.852 --> 32:16.375
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, did you hear what happened to the Dodgers owner who also owned the Lakers?
32:17.876 --> 32:20.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, I saw something about he was under an investigation.
32:21.638 --> 32:25.461
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's under an investigation and just this morning.
32:25.621 --> 32:29.823
[SPEAKER_00]: So he bought the Lakers last year, right?
32:30.744 --> 32:33.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And he just sold them again today.
32:34.046 --> 32:37.048
[SPEAKER_01]: I did see the sale go through to a Kushner, right?
32:37.817 --> 32:45.398
[SPEAKER_00]: to Josh Kushner and Bob Eiger, I guess is gonna run the team.
32:45.618 --> 32:47.459
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, the old CEO of Disney.
32:47.979 --> 32:48.239
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
32:48.799 --> 32:50.839
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of interesting.
32:50.879 --> 33:01.361
[SPEAKER_00]: And just the timing of it all because of the investigation that we started hearing about, and he only had the the lakeers for less, I think less than a year actually, maybe.
33:02.061 --> 33:03.022
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of weird.
33:03.182 --> 33:04.842
[SPEAKER_00]: Something strange is going on over there.
33:05.922 --> 33:24.723
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was talking to some some LA fans and they were saying that he specifically is not in favor because I guess he had some equity or he had something in some ice detention centers that he may have
33:25.664 --> 33:29.006
[SPEAKER_00]: He may not have any equity in those anymore, but there was something there.
33:29.506 --> 33:38.470
[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, LA, you know, big, there were some heat on the Dodgers like having some sort of ice.
33:39.951 --> 33:43.813
[SPEAKER_00]: They did something in their parking lot where they were like helping ice or something last year.
33:43.833 --> 33:44.994
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, I remember that.
33:45.254 --> 33:51.337
[SPEAKER_00]: And, but I think they're trying to clean that up, but yeah, he was attached to that in some way in his past.
33:51.397 --> 33:54.118
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, that's kind of interesting stuff going on over there.
33:54.398 --> 33:55.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that Mark Walter?
33:55.800 --> 33:57.201
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that who we're talking about, huh?
33:57.221 --> 33:57.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
33:57.622 --> 34:04.349
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because he also appointed far on to help out, I believe, with with with the lakeers too.
34:04.509 --> 34:04.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
34:05.550 --> 34:08.133
[SPEAKER_01]: That's some good, some, some ties back to us.
34:08.213 --> 34:09.134
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's yeah.
34:09.735 --> 34:12.338
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, there's going to be a lot of things in the next few years.
34:12.358 --> 34:13.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, who had?
34:14.360 --> 34:18.962
[SPEAKER_01]: money tied to different political parties that have been doing some weird stuff.
34:19.743 --> 34:21.784
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, hopefully there's going to be more.
34:22.604 --> 34:23.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's just say that.
34:23.585 --> 34:28.287
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully there's going to be more bust and crack downs, but we'll see.
34:30.545 --> 34:33.887
[SPEAKER_00]: So just to kind of clean up and finish up the list.
34:34.007 --> 34:48.935
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Giants had Joe Swarkins, all of us at number 18, Luis Hernandez at number 36, Johnny level at 50, and the way the Johnny level is hitting he may be on his way further up this list by the time.
34:49.495 --> 34:52.097
[SPEAKER_00]: We see the list at the beginning of next year.
34:53.017 --> 34:55.478
[SPEAKER_00]: Bo Davinson at 84.
34:55.678 --> 34:57.458
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are the folks who are there.
34:57.498 --> 35:00.419
[SPEAKER_00]: And then also Jackson Flores at 51.
35:00.479 --> 35:00.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
35:01.439 --> 35:03.260
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, I got five guys.
35:03.300 --> 35:12.722
[SPEAKER_00]: And then on the outside looking in Henry L'Alani, Peyton Bonds, Caden Kent, tugboat.
35:13.222 --> 35:14.483
[SPEAKER_00]: I wonder if we see the tugboat.
35:14.943 --> 35:15.883
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to see the tugboat.
35:16.343 --> 35:17.343
[SPEAKER_01]: I would hope so.
35:18.084 --> 35:18.984
[SPEAKER_01]: Is he on the 40 men?
35:19.104 --> 35:19.784
[SPEAKER_01]: I can have to look there.
35:20.968 --> 35:42.561
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we did talk about last week how guys might be hesitant to put people on the 40 man because next year if there is a lockout players who are not on the 40 man can play minor league baseball, but if you're on the 40 man you cannot play minor league baseball, so that that is interesting.
35:43.141 --> 35:43.361
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
35:43.461 --> 35:57.651
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, so just from Vatelo today after the game, he said, he doesn't think Willie's back issue will lead to an injury list, a stint, but he'll likely sit on Friday to let it calm down.
35:57.891 --> 35:58.171
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
35:58.451 --> 35:59.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that makes sense.
35:59.372 --> 35:59.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm looking.
36:00.012 --> 36:01.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking, I'm looking tugboat.
36:02.934 --> 36:05.496
[SPEAKER_01]: I do not believe, no, he's not on the 40 man.
36:05.536 --> 36:06.877
[SPEAKER_01]: So that might be a tough one.
36:08.076 --> 36:14.219
[SPEAKER_00]: That might be a tough one and that could be the reason we're not seeing a lot of these guys Oh, I mean, you're looking at the 40 man.
36:15.900 --> 36:18.901
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, we were just talking about catchers.
36:18.941 --> 36:23.143
[SPEAKER_01]: How about this for an all-star 40 man catcher list?
36:23.183 --> 36:26.844
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got Su-sac, Hazus Rodriguez, both on the aisle.
36:27.384 --> 36:31.926
[SPEAKER_01]: You got Zach Morgan, Andrew Nizzner, and Drew Cavanaugh.
36:32.706 --> 36:33.267
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a.
36:34.327 --> 36:35.807
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to make you salivate, right?
36:39.288 --> 36:53.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and a lot of these guys on the 40 man, I don't think they would necessarily be there in a regular season, but but heading into possible lockout, you can see why some of the other guys are not there yet.
36:54.692 --> 36:59.953
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this is going to be a sad fall slash winter.
37:01.240 --> 37:03.342
[SPEAKER_00]: with the lockout stuff that is coming.
37:03.622 --> 37:06.606
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know how we're going to even talk about it or cover it.
37:06.646 --> 37:08.828
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, what are we going to talk about at that time?
37:09.328 --> 37:10.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
37:10.149 --> 37:21.220
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we're not going to talk about the negotiations because that will more than a lot of people, but I mean, some of it will be interesting, but a lot of it will just be like a bunch of whiny, crybaby's fighting with each other.
37:21.581 --> 37:22.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly.
37:22.882 --> 37:33.307
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what we've done in the past, too, when we've had issues and, you know, COVID and all that other stuff, we've taken a look at some teams from the past and some different things, and that's always kind of fun to do.
37:33.347 --> 37:33.768
[SPEAKER_00]: I like to do.
37:33.788 --> 37:40.011
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've got to think we have to think of something creative, but, you know, we don't also, we don't record every week during that time frame.
37:40.051 --> 37:43.432
[SPEAKER_00]: So once the world series is over, we'll probably change up the schedule a little bit.
37:43.853 --> 37:44.053
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
37:44.673 --> 37:47.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all right, your any vacations coming up?
37:52.322 --> 38:13.135
[SPEAKER_01]: it's very short and it's not going to mess with the show but we're leaving a week from Thursday heading to to Oracle Park to go see a concert not not a giant's game no games going to see a concert driving in on a Thursday going on the concert on Friday driving home Saturday so we're
38:17.277 --> 38:18.558
[SPEAKER_00]: Are you staying in San Francisco?
38:18.858 --> 38:29.207
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we're going to stay in San Francisco next to the ballpark, and then that way we could just hop in there, get some driving, get some seafood, go to the concert, and I'll definitely go to the shop.
38:29.407 --> 38:30.448
[SPEAKER_01]: We're at the giant shop.
38:31.249 --> 38:33.931
[SPEAKER_01]: I know we're boycotting a little bit, but I want to say.
38:35.692 --> 38:36.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I buy a ride hat.
38:37.013 --> 38:37.393
[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.
38:37.433 --> 38:38.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there you go.
38:38.314 --> 38:40.095
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the hat that I want to exactly.
38:40.175 --> 38:47.819
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, look at all that and then and that's that's it and then we've got Vegas for a couple days.
38:47.839 --> 38:49.800
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got New Orleans for a week.
38:49.860 --> 38:54.102
[SPEAKER_01]: That's good old ass dude a week in New Orleans.
38:54.442 --> 38:55.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's going to be quick.
38:55.863 --> 39:01.846
[SPEAKER_01]: But before we do that we're going to be I'm going to see you because that'll be the trip that we're going to be in.
39:03.704 --> 39:09.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Santa Clara for Bruno Mars so that's very you and I will get what what month is that again?
39:09.666 --> 39:10.847
[SPEAKER_01]: That's October.
39:11.187 --> 39:11.647
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
39:12.027 --> 39:13.208
[SPEAKER_01]: Early-ish October.
39:13.228 --> 39:28.733
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to go to we've decided we want to hit Monterey for a couple of days with the kids, show them the aquarium and then you know on our way into Santa Clara we'll probably swing by like capitol or Santa Cruz show us and then head over so yeah so before sweet.
39:29.654 --> 39:29.994
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
39:31.042 --> 39:50.427
[SPEAKER_00]: That is going to be it from here, not not a whole lot to talk about for this series, but you know, there's going to be stuff to talk about, especially if they bring up some players, we could have talked a little bit about Bryce Eldridge going through a little bit of a rough spot, but he had a ginormous jack yesterday at the opposite field.
39:51.147 --> 39:52.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Which was nice to see.
39:52.188 --> 40:03.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we'll save we'll save our bright stuff for later in in the season because he's going to be somebody that we're going to want to talk about and if we can pair him.
40:04.393 --> 40:20.363
[SPEAKER_00]: with Meyer and, you know, you got some other younger guys coming up, boat Davidson possibly parks harbour, maybe some of those guys actually become players in your, you know, then you're talking about rooting for some young guys again, like we, we did when we were kids.
40:20.463 --> 40:21.584
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, for sure.
40:21.984 --> 40:23.165
[SPEAKER_01]: Looking for it.
40:23.866 --> 40:24.546
[SPEAKER_00]: That is it from here.
40:24.606 --> 40:29.309
[SPEAKER_00]: So for Brad, I am double G. We will see you when we see you piece out.
