Giants Hold Off Cardinals 6-5, Devers Done for the Season | Thompson 2 Clark Postgame

WEBVTT

00:10.238 --> 00:19.788
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back, Thompson Clark, Host Game Edition, also working from home lunchtime edition on our lunch break.

00:20.429 --> 00:21.090
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.

00:21.490 --> 00:28.739
[SPEAKER_00]: We're just getting a quick one in here because we just had on in the background that the Giants won six to five.

00:29.993 --> 00:34.814
[SPEAKER_00]: they were winning the entire game until the ninth inning.

00:35.835 --> 00:41.476
[SPEAKER_00]: And as has been just the routine of this year, they cannot hold the lead.

00:42.756 --> 00:43.476
[SPEAKER_00]: And they give it up.

00:44.297 --> 00:52.159
[SPEAKER_00]: Cardinals tie in the ninth, or I'm sorry, in the, yeah, they tie in the ninth, then in the tenth, the giants get two run over from June.

00:52.199 --> 00:52.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Gilbert, you

00:53.659 --> 01:08.752
[SPEAKER_00]: and they hold the cardinals to one run and yeah like you know for seven innings it was like yeah this is kind of fun and then for the last two innings it was like this sucks because this is what the entire season has been about

01:09.332 --> 01:34.862
[SPEAKER_00]: but they did pull it out in the end and uh... kind of a interesting game from the perspective of you know if you're picking out a couple players and going like i wonder if this person can actually do something and jona cox is the one that stood out for me i know he's uh... he's a speed guy which you like but he showed it in this game like if he doesn't get on base and steal bags and do the jona cox stuff they do not win this baseball game

01:35.515 --> 01:36.575
[SPEAKER_01]: No, definitely not.

01:36.695 --> 01:40.817
[SPEAKER_01]: And three for four day, he's been hidden well too lately.

01:40.837 --> 01:42.677
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been hidden over 280.

01:42.697 --> 01:52.340
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if the giants have been looking for a truly offman for the past couple of seasons, this is your guy.

01:53.061 --> 01:55.801
[SPEAKER_01]: And though I think the hard part is going to be next.

01:55.821 --> 01:56.602
[SPEAKER_01]: You're trying to find

01:57.782 --> 02:04.045
[SPEAKER_01]: a spot for him on the field because Casey Schmidt, Chapman, Agamas, they'll all be back.

02:04.665 --> 02:07.266
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you shove him in the outfield somewhere?

02:07.566 --> 02:12.388
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I guess you could, as he has center fielder, we could find out.

02:12.488 --> 02:16.770
[SPEAKER_01]: I think right now, they probably need to test that out and figure out.

02:17.590 --> 02:19.593
[SPEAKER_01]: How many outfield positions he can play?

02:20.835 --> 02:30.710
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I don't think he's going to be stealing any of the infield positions from anybody and to have him off the bench if he's hitting 28290.

02:30.790 --> 02:31.831
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of a ways to

02:33.013 --> 02:38.560
[SPEAKER_01]: especially if you need an everyday lead-off guy, so yeah, it's just exciting to watch the kids right now.

02:38.900 --> 02:47.592
[SPEAKER_01]: The older guys are not hanging in there as well as we saw in this game, but the young guys are coming through and they're doing some things and it's kind of fun to watch.

02:48.924 --> 03:11.653
[SPEAKER_00]: So, the starting picture was, um, uh, Anthony Molina, Anthony was, yeah, yeah, he was in the trade for Tyler Malley, and I thought he, he threw half decent like he didn't, you know, he wasn't blown anybody away, but he had six strikeouts and five and two thirds.

03:12.333 --> 03:30.533
[SPEAKER_00]: at some point the control went a little wacky uh and and he ran his pitch pitch count up like he was like just completely fine then all of a sudden just could not throw a strike and and you know they the cardinals are also an average baseball team at best so they were helped them out a little bit.

03:30.553 --> 03:30.673
[SPEAKER_00]: But

03:30.973 --> 03:32.694
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he pitched okay.

03:33.455 --> 03:43.923
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we went to Carson Seymour who gets credited for giving up two runs, though not

03:45.263 --> 04:00.827
[SPEAKER_00]: all his fault because there were errors involved, there was one error where the Cardinals had runners on, was it first and second or I don't remember if the bag is loaded or not, but Jesse's one more out.

04:01.947 --> 04:07.749
[SPEAKER_00]: And they positioned a cost, Christian costs, who was playing short step.

04:07.769 --> 04:09.029
[SPEAKER_00]: They positioned it perfectly.

04:09.689 --> 04:10.990
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a ground ball right at the middle.

04:11.010 --> 04:12.010
[SPEAKER_00]: He's perfectly

04:13.310 --> 04:16.174
[SPEAKER_00]: And it just throws like this is the easiest routine place throws it away.

04:16.815 --> 04:22.361
[SPEAKER_00]: And on live, I was like, oh god, this is like a disastrous error in another season.

04:22.381 --> 04:26.866
[SPEAKER_00]: You're this is like a what the F kind of error in this kind of game this season.

04:26.886 --> 04:32.673
[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, yeah, it's kind of I've been waiting for this kind of thing to happen, but I rewatched it on the replay.

04:33.782 --> 04:45.712
[SPEAKER_00]: and Bryce L. Dridge, obviously, not the, uh, not the most defensive savvy first space been ever, but he's also right handed, which makes it hard in some stretches.

04:46.353 --> 04:56.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he's he's getting to the bag and he himself had forever to get to the bag, too, because this was not a ground ball that anyone had to make some quick decisions on.

04:57.463 --> 04:59.384
[SPEAKER_00]: And so when cost makes his throw,

05:00.265 --> 05:04.167
[SPEAKER_00]: It is up the line a little bit and you would think Bryce Alcher's six seven.

05:04.327 --> 05:06.588
[SPEAKER_00]: He could stretch out and grab one if you need to.

05:07.449 --> 05:11.471
[SPEAKER_00]: He stretched out towards costs a little too early.

05:11.551 --> 05:17.493
[SPEAKER_00]: So when the throw went awry, his legs were locked and he could not even stretch towards the baseball.

05:17.994 --> 05:22.336
[SPEAKER_00]: So that that's just stuff that you you don't really see live sometimes and I was able to see on the replay.

05:22.916 --> 05:25.960
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of both of their faults they'll cost will get the air.

05:26.080 --> 05:34.490
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like something that Brandon Belt would have easily snagged and it wouldn't been a problem, but that's because he's left handed and because he was a gold glove first basement.

05:35.091 --> 05:37.314
[SPEAKER_00]: So, but you know, there's just stuff like that.

05:38.335 --> 05:40.936
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's how the Cardinals got a couple runs.

05:41.496 --> 05:45.597
[SPEAKER_00]: And then in the ninth, Dylan Smith is in the ball game.

05:46.437 --> 05:49.517
[SPEAKER_00]: And he walks the very first batter.

05:50.238 --> 05:56.039
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was just like just the opposite of what you want there.

05:56.219 --> 05:58.299
[SPEAKER_00]: Just throw strikes, make them earn it.

05:58.599 --> 06:01.560
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, if somebody gets a base hit, so be it.

06:02.680 --> 06:04.140
[SPEAKER_00]: So Gorman walks.

06:04.941 --> 06:05.681
[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's

06:07.321 --> 06:24.961
[SPEAKER_00]: What have I don't know if I've seen so many groundball singles against a singular team in one season But they get an infield hit third baseman cat can't make a play and You could say okay that that's just bad luck and it is

06:26.383 --> 06:31.109
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you get if you take care of the first header, then that doesn't really mean as much as it does.

06:31.229 --> 06:37.718
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just, you know, you let the bad, the bad bounce kind of accentuate the problem by walking the first guy.

06:38.338 --> 06:39.220
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you get a strike out.

06:40.361 --> 06:42.384
[SPEAKER_00]: Then there was a walk, so now the bags are loaded.

06:43.465 --> 06:47.128
[SPEAKER_00]: And there's a sack fly, and they get a run.

06:47.969 --> 06:56.335
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I think we had, I think he even had two strikes on Leo Bernal, and he throws like a fast ball.

06:56.355 --> 07:05.582
[SPEAKER_00]: This is kind of over the plate, but it's high and Bernal is able to kind of chop it, chop at it, and base it, runner score is tie ball game.

07:06.423 --> 07:11.426
[SPEAKER_00]: And then San Martín came in to get Smith out of there, and they got out of the inning.

07:12.507 --> 07:31.089
[SPEAKER_00]: So then in the giants top of the 10th They got Grant McCray, who was the ghost runner at second And then Drew Gilbert just goes yard just like just swish Oh, I don't think it was a breaking ball just skits both cheeks into it

07:31.790 --> 07:32.870
[SPEAKER_00]: takes it over the fence.

07:32.911 --> 07:40.514
[SPEAKER_00]: The giants take the six to four lead and this is when you and I were contemplating like, oh man, what are we going to do if this game continues to go like that?

07:40.594 --> 07:50.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Extra as we got to go live and then you just started laughing and I was like, oh man, and then I looked and I was like, oh, home run, right, right, right when you go texting me.

07:50.678 --> 07:52.639
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're probably ahead of me by like 10 seconds.

07:53.179 --> 07:53.979
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

07:54.099 --> 07:56.881
[SPEAKER_00]: And so they they took the lead six to four.

07:56.921 --> 07:57.401
[SPEAKER_00]: We're good.

07:58.720 --> 07:59.941
[SPEAKER_00]: we were almost not good.

08:00.402 --> 08:01.303
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, not this team.

08:02.344 --> 08:08.971
[SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, Gramma Craig goes the right Drew Gilbert is in center.

08:09.131 --> 08:10.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Jonah Cox goes to second.

08:11.814 --> 08:13.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Shea Shea Whitcom goes to first.

08:15.097 --> 08:24.422
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Bassave is in replaces a Bendura, who, I Bendura actually raked a double in this game.

08:24.462 --> 08:25.703
[SPEAKER_00]: It was kind of venturing to see him.

08:25.723 --> 08:26.784
[SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of tall too.

08:26.844 --> 08:29.325
[SPEAKER_00]: I was like, man, we got two Bryce Elders on the team.

08:29.345 --> 08:30.486
[SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to hide this concern.

08:31.326 --> 08:35.488
[SPEAKER_00]: So Joel, how do you pronounce Joel's last name?

08:35.628 --> 08:36.189
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.

08:36.249 --> 08:37.309
[SPEAKER_00]: They, they, yeah, cool.

08:37.549 --> 08:37.730
[SPEAKER_00]: Cool.

08:37.750 --> 08:37.910
[SPEAKER_00]: No.

08:38.810 --> 08:43.673
[SPEAKER_00]: So he comes in obviously runner on second gets Walker to fly out.

08:44.612 --> 09:12.502
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... brulson goes to third torres pinch hits walks so you got you can have a set up you set up the double play to kind of end the game but then gorman also walking like a great uh... sack fly to deep center field and that that made it six to five and then they got a another fly out to deep center field to end the game so you know it wasn't easy in any way they made it so much harder than it necessarily needed to

09:14.667 --> 09:15.729
[SPEAKER_00]: They escaped.

09:15.949 --> 09:21.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess you could say with a win, even though they were in control for like 99% of this baseball game.

09:21.897 --> 09:31.629
[SPEAKER_00]: But hey, I was just glad that they did not get, you know, that the Cardinals did not walk it off on their home field after the Giants had such a good game.

09:32.270 --> 09:32.550
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

09:32.851 --> 09:33.071
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:33.191 --> 09:34.712
[SPEAKER_01]: It was, I don't know, man.

09:35.613 --> 09:39.115
[SPEAKER_01]: Like you said, any other season we've been sitting her going, what is this?

09:39.175 --> 09:40.717
[SPEAKER_01]: We need answers.

09:40.757 --> 09:51.205
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got issues at back into the bullpen, but you know, bottom line is we pretty much know how this team is right now and what's happening.

09:51.745 --> 09:57.650
[SPEAKER_01]: But you've got a guy who's closing out the game and extra innings in Kunl, who was just, you know,

09:58.110 --> 10:00.393
[SPEAKER_01]: picked up off of waivers.

10:00.834 --> 10:02.216
[SPEAKER_01]: Two, two, three weeks ago.

10:02.877 --> 10:08.525
[SPEAKER_01]: And the giants just needed bullpen arms to say like, okay, who can do what?

10:09.006 --> 10:11.430
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's throw somebody out there and see how it goes.

10:13.172 --> 10:14.452
[SPEAKER_01]: is he going to be in the mix next year?

10:14.532 --> 10:17.253
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't think so.

10:17.313 --> 10:33.657
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, just watching the fortitude of this team and watching them come back and you know, take leads and blow leads, but then able to bounce back and go out there and take the lead and fight, you know, fight the cardinals off today.

10:34.077 --> 10:42.702
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've been doing that, again, since the end of the Boston series where they got swept, I now believe they're 13 and 11.

10:42.782 --> 10:44.243
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're two games over 500.

10:44.263 --> 10:48.786
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, last time we did the show, there were three games over 500.

10:48.806 --> 10:49.747
[SPEAKER_01]: They were 10 and 7.

10:49.787 --> 10:51.288
[SPEAKER_01]: Now they're 13 and 11.

10:51.308 --> 10:53.829
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're battling.

10:54.149 --> 10:55.350
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're still fighting.

10:55.730 --> 10:57.131
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's a lot of fun to watch.

10:57.151 --> 10:58.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's going to go a long way again.

11:00.545 --> 11:19.773
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I failed to mention earlier that Jonah Cox has mostly played center field for the Giants of the season, so that is kind of his natural position if you could say, when they brought him up, they said, he didn't necessarily have a position, but he was more of an outfielder.

11:20.373 --> 11:22.474
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're looking for a

11:24.415 --> 11:26.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, because Harrison Bader is not going to be back.

11:27.559 --> 11:29.242
[SPEAKER_01]: And that was our answer for two years.

11:29.422 --> 11:29.722
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

11:30.023 --> 11:30.683
[SPEAKER_01]: It was this year.

11:30.744 --> 11:37.132
[SPEAKER_01]: Next year was Harrison Bader was our answer to, you know, defensive center field or guy who can hit have a little bit of power.

11:38.494 --> 11:39.195
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not happening.

11:40.296 --> 11:50.681
[SPEAKER_01]: And so to have a guy like Jonah Cox, who you have full control over for years, to come and to see a guy who's a true lead-off guy and to be able to do that, I think that's going to be fantastic.

11:50.721 --> 11:57.725
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, that's in the larger conversation of the experience that these guys are getting right now.

11:57.906 --> 12:02.608
[SPEAKER_01]: Just a couple of weeks left in the season and to see them go out there and I know the

12:09.512 --> 12:14.515
[SPEAKER_01]: But nonetheless, he's going to learn coming off the bag, stop in the ball, you know, doing different things.

12:14.715 --> 12:17.436
[SPEAKER_01]: You sometimes you have to come off the bag just to get that ball.

12:17.736 --> 12:18.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

12:18.477 --> 12:20.598
[SPEAKER_01]: And you're also, I mean,

12:21.832 --> 12:26.233
[SPEAKER_01]: when Christian cost has an hour and a half to make that throw to first base.

12:26.793 --> 12:30.674
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not expected it to sail past you on your right.

12:31.035 --> 12:37.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe in the dirt, maybe a little high, you know, maybe a little offline, but not like that throw.

12:37.776 --> 12:39.857
[SPEAKER_01]: So I gotta give it to Eldridge there a little bit.

12:40.137 --> 12:48.759
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, reminded me of like, Memor and Major League when the guy hits a towering home run and the fan in the stands is like,

12:51.708 --> 12:52.909
[SPEAKER_00]: you're like, what to hide?

12:53.189 --> 12:54.490
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's not even me.

12:55.551 --> 12:59.913
[SPEAKER_00]: But this is like, for cost, it was like too much time too much time.

13:00.494 --> 13:01.474
[SPEAKER_00]: Too much time to throw.

13:01.775 --> 13:06.238
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, if you could look into cost as head, there were probably three costs as in his head.

13:06.838 --> 13:08.479
[SPEAKER_01]: That's how in his head he was.

13:08.859 --> 13:09.740
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just like,

13:10.160 --> 13:11.982
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, nice easy to throw up plenty of time.

13:12.202 --> 13:17.408
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there was a base runner making a weird round around second base in front of him.

13:17.448 --> 13:28.920
[SPEAKER_01]: He almost took like a 90 degree angle, just to make sure the base runner did just to make sure he stayed in front of costs long enough to maybe Yip his throw a little bit.

13:29.181 --> 13:30.782
[SPEAKER_01]: And if so, hey, it worked.

13:31.563 --> 13:33.905
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but you know, and we love costs.

13:34.465 --> 13:35.085
[SPEAKER_01]: We love the guy.

13:35.886 --> 13:39.968
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a perfect utility player.

13:40.189 --> 13:45.212
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we've had guys like him in the past who've been very helpful to good teams.

13:45.252 --> 13:54.478
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just when you have a bad team, you don't you don't really need as many of causes, but you know, we've had we've had guys in the past who.

13:55.218 --> 14:21.769
[SPEAKER_00]: you know that they've just been helpful in certain situations big and when the giants needed a base runner or an infield or some of the come up with a key hit it's just this team doesn't need that this team just needs like who's starters like they need like real real guys who play every day we've got seven of those guys we've got seven Christian causes and yeah like he said we don't need that many john going back to Jonah Cox so it gets on first and that this was

14:26.235 --> 14:44.227
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... he's singled stole second i don't even know who's catch i could probably check who's catching for the cardinals but one of the worst like throws ever see like this is not buster pocy in his prime or yottie malina in his prime here uh... and so cost easily still second

14:45.519 --> 14:51.402
[SPEAKER_00]: And then he takes third and I was like, oh man, like this guy, you know, maybe they gave him a little bit of the green light.

14:51.422 --> 14:52.442
[SPEAKER_00]: This is this kind of fun.

14:53.223 --> 14:56.344
[SPEAKER_00]: And so then there's runner on first and there's one out.

14:57.305 --> 15:01.427
[SPEAKER_00]: And who's the kid that was hitting third or fourth for them today?

15:02.467 --> 15:03.108
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it Harris?

15:04.976 --> 15:07.778
[SPEAKER_00]: Brett, what is for the Giants?

15:07.978 --> 15:12.960
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, I think it was Harris.

15:12.980 --> 15:17.163
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's two Harris on the team, which is stormy, and Trent Harris, right?

15:17.323 --> 15:21.465
[SPEAKER_00]: Trent Harris is the pitcher, and is it Brett Harris?

15:21.625 --> 15:22.305
[SPEAKER_00]: We should know this.

15:22.686 --> 15:24.226
[SPEAKER_00]: We've only been watching this team all year.

15:24.407 --> 15:29.129
[SPEAKER_01]: It is Brett Harris, the guy who they picked up off of waivers from the, these guys got a change in it.

15:29.209 --> 15:31.811
[SPEAKER_01]: He can't go bread and try to kind of look alike too.

15:33.011 --> 15:36.933
[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so he hits a solid ball.

15:37.113 --> 15:42.875
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like a nice ball, but the first basement down the line was was playing it perfectly.

15:43.656 --> 15:46.557
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Eldridge is on first, and Eldridge is running to second.

15:47.357 --> 15:55.961
[SPEAKER_00]: And so he hits a little bit of a laser, so the first basement snags it, steps on first, and he has to throw Eldridge out to end the inning.

15:56.801 --> 16:13.699
[SPEAKER_00]: And I just was like, oh, man, they're going to get Eldrige out and then I didn't what I didn't realize is Cox was busting his ass to get down the line to score so that he could score before they completed that the tag out on Eldrige at second.

16:14.099 --> 16:33.193
[SPEAKER_00]: and so he does and that and like that's how they scored their first run as like man that was that was a heady play and you know price himself i don't know if price necessarily knew what to do like the best thing for price to do would be to like stop running so that he could give uh the but you know in real time you know no one is probably

16:33.833 --> 16:39.556
[SPEAKER_00]: They're probably yelling that at him, but he's trying to make sure he doesn't get drilled in the back with a ball or something.

16:40.156 --> 16:43.657
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, man, this is actually kind of fun to watch Jonah Cox play.

16:44.058 --> 16:49.000
[SPEAKER_00]: Now, the flip side of that experience is bags are loaded.

16:49.720 --> 17:07.246
[SPEAKER_00]: late in the game three two and he takes a curveball right down the middle and doesn't swing and that is the kind of the experience with some of these players because You know, he is not an elite prospect in any way, but he does have tools that could help the baseball team if they become about like Jonah Cox could be the

17:09.687 --> 17:36.632
[SPEAKER_00]: a steroids version of Christian costs in two years right like that's who he may be and you want guys like that on the team because of the versatility and just the speed I saw a stat that someone said sprint speed and I think it was like how many feet per second or something like this as far as running speed and they had him at a higher number than PCA this year and equal to

17:37.903 --> 17:43.069
[SPEAKER_00]: an old guy, Billy Hamilton, as far as sprint speed.

17:43.089 --> 17:53.881
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's insane for us, especially he's coming out at the right hand, a batter box, so I'm gonna show you to told him how to hit left handed when he was a kid, but that is really, really fast.

17:53.901 --> 17:55.342
[SPEAKER_00]: And I didn't realize he was that fast.

17:55.363 --> 17:58.326
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's gonna be fun to see what they can, like if they have,

17:59.947 --> 18:00.888
[SPEAKER_00]: a team next year.

18:02.048 --> 18:08.051
[SPEAKER_00]: That is into the idea of, you know, we have some of these bashers.

18:08.371 --> 18:09.792
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll talk about Devours in a second.

18:10.172 --> 18:10.953
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to Eldridge.

18:11.593 --> 18:13.174
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we have some guys coming back.

18:13.854 --> 18:15.415
[SPEAKER_00]: How do we incorporate?

18:16.432 --> 18:21.873
[SPEAKER_00]: what Jonah Cox could do in this lineup because he can do some things.

18:21.914 --> 18:26.055
[SPEAKER_00]: He could create some things just with his speed alone with his versatility.

18:26.515 --> 18:32.016
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if you're creative offense, I think you could find a spot for a Jonah Cox next year.

18:33.237 --> 18:34.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think so.

18:35.977 --> 18:38.338
[SPEAKER_01]: And I really do believe he could be.

18:39.591 --> 18:41.212
[SPEAKER_01]: starting in center fielder next year.

18:41.573 --> 18:54.602
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would be awesome, because you'd have Joan Huley, and then you'd have Cox in center field, then you could really go and dig around and look for a true left fielder, somebody with a lot of power.

18:56.283 --> 18:57.725
[SPEAKER_01]: And the giants are willing to spend.

18:58.286 --> 19:01.369
[SPEAKER_01]: There should be some left fielders out there that they can go and get.

19:02.010 --> 19:08.558
[SPEAKER_01]: Because if you have Cox and you have junk who Lee in the outfield, you've got some really good defense there.

19:08.578 --> 19:12.903
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to have fantastic defense in left field because the guys that are out there are not, you know.

19:13.303 --> 19:14.124
[SPEAKER_01]: super defenders.

19:14.524 --> 19:17.586
[SPEAKER_01]: You had Elliott Ramos, traded him away.

19:18.486 --> 19:22.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Was he the answer to the left field position going forward?

19:22.348 --> 19:26.250
[SPEAKER_01]: What he's doing in New York with the Yankees right now tells us, I don't know.

19:26.951 --> 19:28.652
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw how streaky he was.

19:28.692 --> 19:31.874
[SPEAKER_01]: He was kind of up and down, a little bit injury prone.

19:32.814 --> 19:36.076
[SPEAKER_01]: So to get yourself a true left fielder and that true left

19:41.579 --> 19:58.873
[SPEAKER_01]: So again, we could still have a very young team next year kind of all around, but you're still going to have devours and you're still going to have Chapman and Adamus and you're still going to have Web that you're going to have guys that you can lean on.

20:00.214 --> 20:08.821
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I would love to see Jonah Cox get a long leash in the lead-off slash center field position next year.

20:08.901 --> 20:32.198
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, even if he doesn't start, even if he's not your starting center fielder, I think he still finds a spot on the team because of that one thing that he does just about better than anybody else, which is run fast, really, really fast and the flexibility, which you know, they like all these teams like the flexibility to have guy play off, outfield and infield.

20:32.698 --> 20:36.399
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and we've seen what Drew Gilbert does against right-handers.

20:36.779 --> 20:40.540
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, if you want to play tune, you certainly can.

20:40.560 --> 20:46.841
[SPEAKER_01]: You get to have a Drew Gilbert, you know, Jonah Cox, play tune, pretty easily in center field.

20:47.141 --> 20:50.102
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you've got two good defensive center fielders right there.

20:50.522 --> 21:00.525
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you need to have a good defensive outfield at the end of the game, you can move one of those guys to left field, and then, you know, both those guys out there

21:03.265 --> 21:04.226
[SPEAKER_01]: outfield defense.

21:04.346 --> 21:07.827
[SPEAKER_01]: And we saw, you know, it was important today, especially in the 19th inning.

21:07.887 --> 21:13.289
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, the 10th inning in extra innings though, you know, that one ball that was hit to Drew Gilbert.

21:13.309 --> 21:18.451
[SPEAKER_01]: He went back on it very quickly and was able to square it up and make the catch.

21:18.711 --> 21:24.993
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you have a sub-par center fielder, I mean, a game could have been over because you had a couple of runners on.

21:25.073 --> 21:28.895
[SPEAKER_01]: So they could have at least tied the game there and then the next batter of the game could be over.

21:29.655 --> 21:35.240
[SPEAKER_01]: not having that outfield defenses is extremely important late in games and we saw it again today.

21:38.663 --> 21:39.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess we've got talk about Devers.

21:40.565 --> 21:41.986
[SPEAKER_00]: Devers is out for the season.

21:43.167 --> 21:45.269
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to have surgery.

21:46.310 --> 21:54.337
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess this has been an injury that has followed him for a while now, and he didn't really know what it was.

21:57.405 --> 22:02.452
[SPEAKER_00]: and it's a bummer because I wanted to see him get 40.

22:03.232 --> 22:06.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I really wanted him to see to see him get to 40 home runs.

22:06.597 --> 22:09.500
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought that would have been tremendous for him.

22:10.882 --> 22:14.366
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not going to speak for you.

22:15.527 --> 22:27.936
[SPEAKER_00]: I have been down on him in certain things this season, but what I was not down on him was kind of his ability as a hitter.

22:28.056 --> 22:35.060
[SPEAKER_00]: My worry was mostly that the bat speed was slow and down, but you were looking at those numbers saying, no, bat speed's not really slowing down too much.

22:35.140 --> 22:37.002
[SPEAKER_00]: It's just whatever else was the reason.

22:37.922 --> 22:42.765
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, he definitely came on later in the season.

22:42.805 --> 22:46.968
[SPEAKER_00]: One of the best hitters in all of baseball in the second half of this season.

22:47.648 --> 22:54.012
[SPEAKER_00]: So for, you know, to just, I wanted to see him get to 40 and then kind of be put in this special class.

22:54.092 --> 22:59.616
[SPEAKER_00]: And I have the list of over 30 home or home or seasons for Giants players.

22:59.736 --> 23:01.277
[SPEAKER_00]: And so we can look at that in a second.

23:01.297 --> 23:01.457
[SPEAKER_00]: But,

23:02.238 --> 23:03.199
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just bombed.

23:03.359 --> 23:06.902
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted he plays every day like that's the best thing about him.

23:07.002 --> 23:15.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe maybe sometimes to to a negative thing because he can get into some slums, but just yeah, what what a what a great second half and

23:17.581 --> 23:30.486
[SPEAKER_00]: not to say that he can duplicate the second half next year, but I think, you know, if we get a middle ground version of the first half and the second half Raphael Devers, I think we'll be pretty happy with it.

23:30.987 --> 23:32.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, that would be awesome.

23:32.627 --> 23:34.588
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, he's always been a slow starter.

23:34.628 --> 23:36.029
[SPEAKER_01]: He's only 29 years old.

23:36.649 --> 23:43.712
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, when we were talking about it, you know, we were seeing a lot of talk about ours, his metrics are going down and he's going to...

23:44.412 --> 23:50.021
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the contract's going to be terrible, you know, right away, it was going to be terrible.

23:50.081 --> 23:55.008
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, everything else we were here and I kept thinking, man, the guy's going to be like, and this was last year, it was only 28.

23:55.188 --> 23:56.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, he's 29 years old.

23:56.370 --> 24:00.115
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to come back after the course surgery and he's going to be 30 years old.

24:00.816 --> 24:02.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he actually did have the surgery yesterday.

24:03.257 --> 24:14.539
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so he had it yesterday and it's a three month recovery, so around December is when he's going to start ramping up baseball activities, left side core, yeah, what does that mean?

24:14.579 --> 24:15.699
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

24:15.900 --> 24:19.180
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you've got your, you know, you got your ab muscles.

24:19.260 --> 24:22.941
[SPEAKER_01]: So I could have been that or an oblique or anything like that.

24:22.981 --> 24:26.362
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe maybe he's got to get on a Pilates routine for next year.

24:26.722 --> 24:27.302
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

24:27.342 --> 24:30.163
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been doing that because of my my feet issues.

24:30.223 --> 24:35.486
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been having lately and so I've been doing a lot of Pilates, and I get to tell you I got my balance back.

24:35.506 --> 24:36.306
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's nice.

24:37.146 --> 24:38.287
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a nice thing to have.

24:38.647 --> 24:53.733
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, so he should be back around December and then, um, you know, plenty of time for for spring training and role and then, but, but yeah, it's I mean, God, I haven't gotten to possibly 40 or more home runs would have been.

24:54.493 --> 24:54.853
[SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.

24:54.893 --> 24:56.094
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is the last person?

24:56.114 --> 24:57.114
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you got the list there.

24:57.454 --> 24:59.875
[SPEAKER_00]: Who is the last person to hit 40 on lines?

25:00.015 --> 25:01.536
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it has to be bonds.

25:01.576 --> 25:07.098
[SPEAKER_00]: I would assume last person to hit 40 would have been bury in 2004.

25:07.158 --> 25:07.258
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

25:07.698 --> 25:08.038
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, sure.

25:08.058 --> 25:08.238
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

25:13.515 --> 25:30.687
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and then the last person, uh, if we, if we kind of go up the rankings, the last player to even hit, uh, 30 would have been, uh, a domicile last year, any higher than that.

25:31.027 --> 25:36.070
[SPEAKER_00]: We are talking about, uh, divers this year, and that's the list.

25:38.172 --> 25:39.052
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a tiny list.

25:40.315 --> 25:44.496
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll quickly go from from the top here.

25:45.356 --> 25:47.517
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously bonds in 2001 had 73.

25:47.537 --> 25:48.297
[SPEAKER_00]: Mays in 65 had 52.

25:49.077 --> 25:50.817
[SPEAKER_00]: Mays in 55 had 51.

25:50.837 --> 25:52.618
[SPEAKER_00]: Johnny Mies in 1947 had 51.

25:52.638 --> 25:53.878
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry hit 49 in 2000.

25:54.298 --> 25:56.059
[SPEAKER_00]: Mays hit 49 in 62.

25:56.119 --> 25:56.719
[SPEAKER_00]: Mays hit 47 in 64.

26:10.842 --> 26:11.423
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry hit 46 in 93.

26:11.483 --> 26:12.683
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry hit 46 in 2002.

26:12.703 --> 26:13.223
[SPEAKER_00]: Stepheta hit 46 in 61.

26:13.644 --> 26:14.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry hit 45 in 03.

26:14.724 --> 26:15.224
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry hit 45 in 04.

26:15.244 --> 26:17.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Big Mac hit William McCovey hit 45 in 69.

26:17.625 --> 26:18.686
[SPEAKER_00]: He hit 44 in 63.

26:18.726 --> 26:20.306
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt Williams hit 43 in

26:40.676 --> 26:41.336
[SPEAKER_00]: official A.

26:41.376 --> 26:41.757
[SPEAKER_00]: B.

26:41.837 --> 26:46.421
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was on par, you know, probably to get close to 60, at least that year.

26:47.602 --> 26:50.285
[SPEAKER_00]: In 96, Barry hit 42 in 1929, Melod hit 42.

26:50.305 --> 26:51.846
[SPEAKER_00]: 54 May's hit 41 in 97, Barry hit 40.

26:57.491 --> 27:01.853
[SPEAKER_00]: 61, Mays at 40, 48, Johnny Mays at 40.

27:02.314 --> 27:04.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Bond shows up on the list.

27:04.354 --> 27:06.315
[SPEAKER_00]: He hit 39 jacks in 1973.

27:06.375 --> 27:08.616
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a McCovey hit 39 and 70.

27:08.696 --> 27:09.637
[SPEAKER_00]: McCovey hit 39 and 65.

27:09.677 --> 27:10.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Mays at 38 and 63.

27:10.317 --> 27:10.977
[SPEAKER_00]: Melot hit 38 and 32.

27:11.017 --> 27:11.938
[SPEAKER_00]: Matt Williams at 38 and 1993.

27:21.062 --> 27:24.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Richer, really a 37 and 2,000 in one.

27:25.385 --> 27:29.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Barry bonds hit 37 in 1994.

27:29.529 --> 27:44.100
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is Devers joins a list of 34 37 home run seasons in San Francisco or actually there's some New York's giants here too.

27:44.140 --> 27:48.763
[SPEAKER_00]: In giant history, there've been 34 37 home run seasons and that's

27:51.025 --> 27:51.885
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.

27:52.846 --> 27:53.406
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a list.

27:53.426 --> 28:01.929
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of, you know, Hall of Fame names, all star names, giants, classic names, man.

28:02.389 --> 28:10.512
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's, I have can't tie us, by the way, Hall of Famer Jeff can't hit 37 in 02, which would have been his MVP season.

28:11.032 --> 28:11.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

28:11.453 --> 28:14.854
[SPEAKER_00]: And then we'll Clark at 35 in 1987, that was his top.

28:18.275 --> 28:32.178
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Mitchell's second bass was 35 and 1990 and then it's just littered with maize and bonds and there's another Matt Williams season in 1991.

28:33.039 --> 28:34.859
[SPEAKER_00]: These are all guys who hit over 30.

28:34.979 --> 28:36.219
[SPEAKER_00]: Can't in 2000.

28:37.880 --> 28:40.120
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that was, well, what are there?

28:40.200 --> 28:42.301
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a guy who hit 30 home runs in 1983.

28:44.831 --> 28:45.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Darryl Evans.

28:46.111 --> 28:46.952
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

28:48.192 --> 28:49.793
[SPEAKER_00]: Got to get my guy on the list then.

28:49.913 --> 28:50.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Ellis Brooks, right?

28:50.593 --> 28:50.893
[SPEAKER_00]: 31 in 1999.

28:50.913 --> 28:52.054
[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby Thompson, 1932 and 1951.

28:52.074 --> 28:53.034
[SPEAKER_00]: When was the Burke's trade?

28:53.054 --> 28:54.514
[SPEAKER_00]: Was that 96 or 97 when we got him?

29:03.841 --> 29:24.427
[SPEAKER_00]: uh... let's see might not remember how far down baseball reference do i have to scroll to see yeah i don't remember what year we made that tree so he's actually signed as a free agent in uh... november of ninety eight okay i thought we had traded for him for some reason for a second and i know you're you're right and they traded um...

29:26.387 --> 29:35.610
[SPEAKER_00]: They traded him for Darrell Hamilton, right, and then, and then at the end of the season, he was a free agent.

29:36.130 --> 29:36.270
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

29:36.370 --> 29:39.091
[SPEAKER_00]: And then they signed him as a free agent.

29:39.491 --> 29:39.831
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

29:40.172 --> 29:40.412
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

29:40.692 --> 29:40.932
[SPEAKER_00]: Here we

29:44.853 --> 29:50.995
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he was the first game I went to at the new ballpark when it was, what was it when it first opened?

29:51.256 --> 29:54.177
[SPEAKER_01]: SBC, now it was AT&T Park, right?

29:54.477 --> 29:58.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the very first year it opened it with AT&T Park.

29:58.778 --> 30:09.122
[SPEAKER_01]: First game I went to at that park was probably a month or so into this season and Ellis Burx had a three-run home run and we were near the arcade and he hit it over the arcade.

30:09.142 --> 30:10.263
[SPEAKER_01]: It didn't go on the water.

30:10.943 --> 30:13.724
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it hit down below and there were so many people.

30:13.764 --> 30:18.947
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember that, you know, that walkway between the ballpark and Kovie Cove?

30:19.007 --> 30:21.108
[SPEAKER_01]: You could be there on game day and there's some people.

30:21.188 --> 30:22.148
[SPEAKER_01]: You see quite a few people.

30:22.168 --> 30:22.328
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

30:22.849 --> 30:26.490
[SPEAKER_01]: But back when the ballpark first opened, that was like the party that was the place to be.

30:26.990 --> 30:29.372
[SPEAKER_01]: And so it landed over there and didn't end up in the water.

30:29.392 --> 30:32.453
[SPEAKER_01]: But then that was the first time I heard that water cannons go off.

30:32.573 --> 30:36.797
[SPEAKER_01]: and I was standing right next to the water cannon and scared the hell out of it.

30:36.817 --> 30:39.399
[SPEAKER_01]: And no idea, we didn't have the internet back then.

30:39.459 --> 30:41.141
[SPEAKER_01]: And we were watching games on TV.

30:41.161 --> 30:42.802
[SPEAKER_01]: Didn't necessarily talk about it.

30:43.223 --> 30:47.747
[SPEAKER_01]: And all of a sudden, I got wet and I was like, oh my God, what is happening?

30:47.987 --> 30:48.708
[SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty awesome.

30:50.328 --> 31:04.491
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I wanted to mention Eldridge, uh, there's a tweet that I saw that, um, they talked about, kind of like, you know, in the standing that he's in for this rookie season.

31:04.511 --> 31:12.273
[SPEAKER_00]: Like his, his back of the baseball card stats aren't like crazy, but just baseball.

31:13.193 --> 31:17.534
[SPEAKER_00]: the Twitter account just baseball, put up a tweet earlier today.

31:18.494 --> 31:32.377
[SPEAKER_00]: That said, the only player since 1983 to put up similar numbers by the age of 21 or younger when it comes to walk percentage,

31:39.690 --> 31:53.794
[SPEAKER_00]: He's on the low end of these guys, but listen to these names, 2013 Mike Trout, 2013 Bryce Harper, and 2018, 2019, Juan Soto.

31:53.974 --> 32:04.977
[SPEAKER_00]: So that is the air that Bryce Eldridge is standing in right now in those categories for someone who is in, who's only 21 years old, that's insane.

32:05.177 --> 32:11.019
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, again, we, it's one of those things we keep talking about, like, do we have the real deal?

32:11.199 --> 32:14.020
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, is this guy the real deal coming up?

32:14.481 --> 32:18.462
[SPEAKER_01]: And people were talking about, hey, that's, you know, we don't know what we have.

32:18.502 --> 32:21.963
[SPEAKER_01]: So now's the time to trade them while the hype is is high.

32:22.744 --> 32:28.466
[SPEAKER_01]: So looking back, obviously, we're very happy that that did not happen because we know going forward

32:33.279 --> 32:44.928
[SPEAKER_01]: I wouldn't say has elite numbers, but is in the elite ratio of numbers, I guess you could say looking at that list and then just the improvements he's going to make.

32:44.988 --> 32:53.834
[SPEAKER_01]: We talk last show about him, you know, putting on some muscle learning first base as the years go by and I think we got the real deal.

32:54.055 --> 33:01.340
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's pretty exciting to see that we have that now if we could just get some pitching, we could just get some pitching and a left field or anything.

33:03.182 --> 33:05.623
[SPEAKER_00]: speaking of pitching and we'll end here.

33:05.643 --> 33:09.905
[SPEAKER_00]: This is going to be a shorter show just so we can get back to I know you got some stuff going on.

33:11.465 --> 33:11.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Web.

33:13.026 --> 33:23.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Now Logan Web's back at the baseball cards statistics are not good this year now and I think the thing that stands out maybe even the most to me.

33:25.276 --> 33:30.958
[SPEAKER_00]: is he is not striking guys out like he was last year.

33:31.698 --> 33:31.978
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

33:32.078 --> 33:43.781
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think he realized that as he gets older, um, he's going to need to miss a few more bats, uh, to, you know, especially,

33:45.081 --> 33:48.185
[SPEAKER_00]: Giants defense hasn't been fantastic, you know, for a little while now.

33:48.925 --> 33:54.251
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's he he's not doing that this year and he had started doing it a little bit better.

33:54.271 --> 34:04.502
[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think I want to say last year maybe he had the best strikeout numbers of his career as far as strikeouts per nine.

34:05.383 --> 34:06.645
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to confine that.

34:07.685 --> 34:11.187
[SPEAKER_00]: So strikeouts per nine.

34:11.387 --> 34:21.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah last year he was at 9.7, which was the best of his entire career in 2001, which would have been officially his second year.

34:22.273 --> 34:28.176
[SPEAKER_00]: He was at 9.6 and it had gone down and he was at 7.6 in 2024 and he's now down to 7.5 this year.

34:28.196 --> 34:30.417
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think some of it is that.

34:34.379 --> 34:50.484
[SPEAKER_00]: his FIP is better than his ERA so some of this is just bad luck and probably just bad defense because his four point three one ERA is quite a bit different from his three point four five uh, tip and I and I just wonder you know

34:51.584 --> 34:54.386
[SPEAKER_00]: Do do we throw this season away?

34:55.067 --> 35:12.260
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know there are going to be some people who look at the WBC and he didn't really pitch that much in the WBC I don't know if if there's any data or science to back up that the WBC was the reason But if you want to make that the reason, I'm sure you can Sure.

35:12.640 --> 35:14.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he'd make anything the reason if you want.

35:14.882 --> 35:15.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but

35:16.363 --> 35:28.930
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just, you know, his outlying statistics like don't look terribly different than previous years, but the back of the baseball card ones look really, really poor.

35:29.630 --> 35:39.976
[SPEAKER_00]: And the only one that I can see that that stands out in a bad way is the strikeouts, though his walks were up a little bit as well.

35:40.496 --> 35:40.636
[SPEAKER_00]: And

35:41.757 --> 35:42.598
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I don't know.

35:42.618 --> 35:44.379
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if what any of that means.

35:44.960 --> 35:49.463
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even think like he wasn't getting hit tremendously hard.

35:50.504 --> 35:57.189
[SPEAKER_00]: He was hit way harder several several years ago as far as the hard hit percentages concerned.

35:57.249 --> 36:00.592
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not really sure what it means, but we know.

36:01.292 --> 36:22.807
[SPEAKER_00]: just you know I test wise that he was not as clean and he was not as tidy as he had been because you know Logan Web starts were kind of what we relied on the last couple years to get the team back going and I don't even think this was a run support issue as much either because he's had some years where he said some crazy bad run support like three runs a game

36:23.807 --> 36:32.234
[SPEAKER_00]: And this year, I think I want to say it was in the mid-forge or something, so.

36:33.015 --> 36:34.376
[SPEAKER_01]: It's, you know, it's tough.

36:35.336 --> 36:36.738
[SPEAKER_01]: I see all over the place.

36:36.758 --> 36:38.319
[SPEAKER_01]: People point to the WBC.

36:38.339 --> 36:42.903
[SPEAKER_01]: The other one people point to is Patrick Bailey's not here anymore.

36:42.943 --> 36:46.505
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, at the beginning of the season, no, he was struggling.

36:46.826 --> 36:49.548
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and Patrick Bailey was here.

36:50.679 --> 36:51.379
[SPEAKER_01]: So what does that mean?

36:51.760 --> 36:56.722
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, I mean, you know, and yeah, it's sure he was at the WBC.

36:57.142 --> 37:01.244
[SPEAKER_01]: He was not on his regular routine.

37:01.364 --> 37:03.906
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think that kind of could probably throw things off.

37:03.926 --> 37:08.948
[SPEAKER_01]: He was very excited to be with the team America.

37:09.328 --> 37:12.670
[SPEAKER_01]: He was very excited to be out at the WBC.

37:12.730 --> 37:16.492
[SPEAKER_01]: So the only thing I can think of with that is that the emotions were riding high.

37:17.052 --> 37:24.916
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it's kind of an emotional letdown to come to a team with a new manager and you're out there fighting and you're trying to figure things out.

37:24.956 --> 37:26.497
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got new teammates.

37:26.517 --> 37:33.020
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got a new whole new pitching staff, whole new staff and the bullpen, everything else.

37:33.080 --> 37:34.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's an adjustment period.

37:34.640 --> 37:35.661
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a professional.

37:36.081 --> 37:40.803
[SPEAKER_01]: So I have no doubt whatsoever that he's going to come back to us on fire next season.

37:42.524 --> 37:48.225
[SPEAKER_01]: He is getting older, but I think it is a good idea to shut him down the rest of this season.

37:48.245 --> 37:50.526
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not fighting for anything at this point.

37:51.626 --> 37:56.227
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not even like, this team isn't even fighting to not lose 100 games anymore.

37:57.247 --> 37:59.228
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of the deal.

37:59.548 --> 38:02.329
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's not like you've got a Blake's Nell situation, right?

38:02.369 --> 38:06.330
[SPEAKER_01]: Where the giants could go out there on the last game of this season and finish 500.

38:06.370 --> 38:07.890
[SPEAKER_01]: But Blake's Nell doesn't want to.

38:15.293 --> 38:19.456
[SPEAKER_00]: So the rest of this week, they go to L.A. this weekend.

38:19.937 --> 38:20.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, speak enough.

38:21.378 --> 38:22.899
[SPEAKER_00]: We got three against Dodgers.

38:23.800 --> 38:26.281
[SPEAKER_00]: They come home for the twins.

38:27.903 --> 38:30.625
[SPEAKER_00]: And what is your, what did you remind me about your schedule?

38:30.645 --> 38:31.906
[SPEAKER_00]: What is your schedule like next week?

38:31.926 --> 38:35.969
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I'm gone this weekend and into next week.

38:36.009 --> 38:36.869
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll be back later.

38:38.130 --> 38:39.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Wednesday night.

38:39.492 --> 38:40.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

38:41.173 --> 38:46.238
[SPEAKER_01]: I will be around from like end of the week until mid week next week.

38:46.950 --> 38:53.938
[SPEAKER_00]: if we record next week, um, Thursday could be a possibility because they don't have a game Thursday.

38:55.079 --> 39:07.772
[SPEAKER_00]: And it would kind of be the, you know, the one before the last show of the regular season, you know, we'll be able to to talk playoffs and wild card and such because that that'll still be going down.

39:08.593 --> 39:16.379
[SPEAKER_00]: They play the twins at home Monday, Tuesday, and then Wednesday afternoon, so that's a day game.

39:16.900 --> 39:18.781
[SPEAKER_00]: No game on Thursday.

39:19.301 --> 39:22.604
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the Dodgers come back to end the season.

39:23.425 --> 39:27.548
[SPEAKER_00]: And Sunday, the 27th is Mike Cruko celebration day.

39:29.029 --> 39:31.431
[SPEAKER_00]: The Friday is the Willie McAward, which

39:39.118 --> 39:49.953
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the veteran that kept everybody together throughout this season, and I I wonder if he could even be back to take, you know, to accept that award.

39:50.394 --> 39:50.975
[SPEAKER_01]: I would think so.

39:52.051 --> 40:11.634
[SPEAKER_00]: and uh... then they got the fan appreciation day on saturday and then the crook of celebration sunday that crook of celebration man i think that i think they're going to be some uh... some tears flowing for a couple absolutely i i showed you guys the the video that uh... of dwayne and mike in and rich realia

40:12.455 --> 40:15.036
[SPEAKER_00]: and rich really couldn't even keep it together.

40:15.056 --> 40:16.777
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't even in the same.

40:17.317 --> 40:18.397
[SPEAKER_00]: He was in the studio.

40:18.417 --> 40:22.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And those guys were in the booth and he was trying to keep it together and couldn't.

40:22.519 --> 40:27.701
[SPEAKER_00]: And Kaipur, like I can't imagine Kaipur how Kaipur is going to be that day.

40:28.241 --> 40:29.302
[SPEAKER_00]: And Crystal himself too.

40:30.002 --> 40:35.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this a day where we get bum garner back and possibly Timmy back?

40:35.406 --> 40:37.368
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's so awesome.

40:37.728 --> 40:38.849
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always possible.

40:38.929 --> 40:46.415
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Timmy shows up for Bochi and, you know, the old guard and the people that were there, you know, before and after him.

40:46.515 --> 40:48.637
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's, it's quite possible.

40:49.560 --> 40:54.825
[SPEAKER_00]: At least get Vogelsong there and Matt Kane there.

40:54.985 --> 40:56.587
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, bonds will be there.

40:56.627 --> 40:57.107
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure.

40:57.347 --> 40:57.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:57.928 --> 41:00.650
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to think of who of his old teammates.

41:01.271 --> 41:04.474
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess Lasky, Lasky's doing audio.

41:04.534 --> 41:06.275
[SPEAKER_00]: So last, Lasky should be there.

41:06.295 --> 41:07.697
[SPEAKER_00]: He, he and Mike were teammates.

41:08.197 --> 41:09.078
[SPEAKER_01]: Thompson to Clark.

41:09.378 --> 41:10.559
[SPEAKER_01]: Thompson and Clark.

41:10.579 --> 41:11.100
[SPEAKER_01]: How about that?

41:11.120 --> 41:11.801
[SPEAKER_01]: Both be there.

41:12.001 --> 41:13.682
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we should go in Mitchell, maybe.

41:14.703 --> 41:33.421
[SPEAKER_01]: the bookie bear he yeah let Cricle loves that nickname the bookie yeah that really I don't should be there were they teammates yeah they were they were because they traded for California yeah 87 yeah and so they would have been teammates until 89 I think yeah because 89 was his final year yeah

41:34.482 --> 41:44.631
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I would have to kind of, if I had, you know, my media guy brain that I had or not really full of your souls, if I could tell you that entire pitching stuff, I can tell you the bench guys, too.

41:44.871 --> 41:45.091
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

41:45.171 --> 41:45.471
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

41:45.492 --> 41:51.917
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't even know if these guys are around like Moonman, Minton, and Gary LaVelle, and guys like the Atley Hammaker.

41:51.937 --> 41:53.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and we know

42:02.966 --> 42:04.167
[SPEAKER_01]: pretty old speck's back.

42:04.467 --> 42:04.808
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

42:04.968 --> 42:05.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

42:05.968 --> 42:06.269
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.

42:06.609 --> 42:07.089
[SPEAKER_00]: That is it.

42:08.070 --> 42:25.742
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll we'll we'll we'll so if if you are back and comfortable we can we can record next week on that open day if not maybe we skip a week and we come back to talk about the crucco celebration which would be that might be the most interesting thing to talk about for sure as well.

42:25.782 --> 42:26.303
[SPEAKER_00]: So all right.

42:26.944 --> 42:28.313
[SPEAKER_00]: That will be it from here.

42:29.239 --> 42:31.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Forbred, I am WG, we will see you when we see you.

42:31.735 --> 42:33.808
[SPEAKER_00]: Peace, out, peace.
