00:10.173 --> 00:11.814
[SPEAKER_01]: It is Thompson to Clark.
00:11.854 --> 00:27.037
[SPEAKER_01]: We are here, and after the, or early evening, after the giants just beat the bumps off of the Milwaukee viewers, you know, I was just on a podcast today representing Thompson to Clark.
00:28.077 --> 00:29.677
[SPEAKER_01]: It was called the pesky podcast.
00:29.717 --> 00:33.578
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about the, it's a, it's a Red Sox podcast and they're doing trade deadline stuff.
00:34.118 --> 00:37.059
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I was representing the giants in a West.
00:37.991 --> 01:04.071
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... they had an Arizona diamond backs guy jeff uh... i think jeff does radio out there as well uh... and then there was a there was a podries guy on he he wasn't on for very long uh... they were missing the dodgers person so he just kind of talked about the dodgers behind the back but they probably thought they didn't need to send anybody because they don't have to do anything they're so good as guys but the uh...
01:05.087 --> 01:26.030
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing that we were talking about and it relates to the breweries, which is why I'm bringing it up here is, you know, the Dodgers are kind of like the boogie man of the entire major league baseball and it was like, well, who's got the best chance and in the past we've had this conversation and I think we feel a little bit more confident in in the braves ability to go through three series than the brewers.
01:26.990 --> 01:37.801
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, the brewers, they're right there with the Dodgers far as wins, the Dodgers have a slightly better run differential, but the brewers are the second best run differential in all of baseball.
01:37.821 --> 01:39.603
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're right there, and yet.
01:41.186 --> 01:48.352
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't believe in them like for whatever reason I don't believe in them and then the giants go out there and spank them 16 to three and win the series.
01:49.273 --> 01:54.938
[SPEAKER_01]: They lost yesterday's game, but yeah, they they tie Tyler Molly modem down like so I don't know.
01:55.039 --> 02:01.765
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what that's about the brewers, but they also won the the season series, which was a best of seven basically.
02:01.805 --> 02:04.167
[SPEAKER_00]: It was seven games series, giant's one four three.
02:05.192 --> 02:07.253
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, put us in the playoffs.
02:07.494 --> 02:12.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, only if we play the Dodgers and the brewers, everyone else will be going to kill back.
02:13.358 --> 02:22.704
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, there's there's there's conversations going on about whether or not, you know, certain guys are going to get traded.
02:22.824 --> 02:26.727
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw Elliott Ramos was a rumored to get traded.
02:26.787 --> 02:28.208
[SPEAKER_01]: He got four hits today.
02:30.978 --> 02:33.140
[SPEAKER_01]: did, uh, uh, Logan Web started this game.
02:33.741 --> 02:34.221
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he did.
02:34.241 --> 02:37.104
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that and he got run support.
02:37.164 --> 02:39.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for once is like, huh?
02:40.167 --> 02:41.188
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, wait.
02:41.409 --> 02:45.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the sixth inning you guys scored seven runs for me.
02:45.533 --> 02:47.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm just not going to go out for the seventh.
02:47.555 --> 02:48.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm done.
02:48.116 --> 02:49.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this might be good enough.
02:50.422 --> 02:58.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but Louis the rise, I think he also had four hits and he's I think he's in the major league lead for batting average overall now.
02:59.245 --> 03:01.385
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't he and Lopez are kind of going back and forth.
03:02.485 --> 03:07.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, uh, Jung who got a couple hits had three RBI, uh,
03:09.111 --> 03:16.193
[SPEAKER_01]: other guys that may not be traded, but are still going to be in rumors, a Domus and Devers that they went hitless.
03:16.333 --> 03:18.994
[SPEAKER_01]: As did Bryce Elcher, also went hitless.
03:20.114 --> 03:24.995
[SPEAKER_01]: But Daniel Suzack of all people went deep twice, including against a position player.
03:26.536 --> 03:37.059
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, so, you know, that's one of those games where it's it's a bit of an outlier where all of a sudden, you know, the warriors just, uh, the warriors, the giants just, um,
03:37.719 --> 03:49.412
[SPEAKER_01]: bust out, they bust loose against a team and they score a bunch of runs and then there are other games where you're like, they can't string, you know, two, two, two hits together or they can't make contact two games in a row.
03:49.452 --> 03:57.942
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just this funky thing whatever it is about certain teams and and they they can play well against them like the brewers and the Dodgers so far.
03:58.983 --> 03:59.924
[SPEAKER_00]: That's amazing.
04:00.084 --> 04:07.650
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's funny to watch this team, you know, I was looking again at quality starts because you go back to the pitching.
04:07.690 --> 04:11.193
[SPEAKER_00]: You go back to what we have today in Logan Webb and other quality start.
04:12.013 --> 04:17.698
[SPEAKER_00]: And you start to look at the number of quality starts of teams that are equal to us offensively in the Seattle Mariners.
04:17.718 --> 04:19.019
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this couple of weeks ago.
04:19.539 --> 04:19.979
[SPEAKER_00]: We went
04:21.120 --> 04:41.593
[SPEAKER_00]: in the Seattle got smoked right we we won the first game lost the next two you know an ugly fashion and it's you know those were bullpen issues of course but when you look at quality starts the Seattle Mariners have 10 more quality starts the season and the giants and the Seattle Mariners again similar offense
04:42.473 --> 04:45.736
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a 500 bulk look and and that's what it takes.
04:45.756 --> 04:51.761
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm starting pitching in a couple of bullpen pieces and and this team is probably not far off.
04:52.081 --> 04:55.264
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so hard to watch and say that, but again, you're going to lose Luis Horizon.
04:55.724 --> 04:57.546
[SPEAKER_00]: You may lose Elliott Ramos.
04:58.106 --> 04:58.927
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible.
04:58.967 --> 05:02.010
[SPEAKER_00]: You lose Adamus or Devers.
05:02.050 --> 05:04.452
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, anything can happen in the next few days.
05:05.272 --> 05:27.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but, but if this team sticks together, uh, and a couple of minor league pieces and parks harbour and bodated some possibly next year, and then some preagency moves, and then they can get, uh, another starter or two, short of the bullpen, this team could look, uh, I didn't even say it, so we were to say, but this team could look like a contender next year for
05:35.265 --> 05:50.950
[SPEAKER_01]: But the people who they depend on for offense and who they're paying the most money to who's plugged in, outside of Devers, and I'm confident in Devers to an extent.
05:50.990 --> 05:55.052
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not confident in him being the consistent, you know,
05:56.261 --> 06:16.806
[SPEAKER_01]: guy for month to month like I was talking I was on that podcast the pesky podcast and the guy who runs it is a red sucks guy and he's so he you know he knows divers very well and he's like yeah you know divers is kind of like just a late starter like every single year just just kind of gets going eventually but he's not there at the beginning and I get it like his numbers are going to even out
06:17.507 --> 06:29.813
[SPEAKER_01]: But do you want that guy to be the guy who you're depending on all season long, to be the big thumper, you kind of want someone who's a little bit more consistent and not as streaky, but he did make an interesting point.
06:30.153 --> 06:33.315
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wanted to get your thoughts on this, because we've been talking about Devours all year long.
06:35.215 --> 06:40.878
[SPEAKER_01]: At this point, I think we'd be really surprised if Devours Adomas or Chapman were traded.
06:41.798 --> 06:41.979
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
06:42.059 --> 06:44.680
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I thought, you know,
06:46.443 --> 06:54.886
[SPEAKER_01]: If now that Casey Schmidt got hurt, we'll talk about that in a second, does that mean that they're not even going to think about trading Chapman and then
06:56.310 --> 06:57.450
[SPEAKER_01]: the Red Sox guy, the Rit.
06:57.750 --> 07:00.711
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, well, you know, Devours can play third base.
07:00.771 --> 07:03.292
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
07:04.033 --> 07:05.113
[SPEAKER_01]: He was.
07:05.253 --> 07:06.273
[SPEAKER_01]: And he probably wants to.
07:06.854 --> 07:12.375
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be the way to split him and Bryce Eldridge up position wise.
07:12.535 --> 07:17.117
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they decided, because because when Schmick I heard, I was like, oh, they're definitely not trading Chapman now.
07:17.577 --> 07:21.180
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I was reminded that Devers can actually play there.
07:21.640 --> 07:25.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I don't think he wouldn't be the answer.
07:25.543 --> 07:29.446
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd probably not want him to be your everyday third baseman, but
07:30.347 --> 07:38.294
[SPEAKER_01]: For this year, it would split, he and Eldra jump and you wouldn't have to worry so much about them being duplicative in defensively.
07:38.755 --> 07:40.276
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was an interesting thing.
07:40.696 --> 07:41.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought, you know what?
07:41.897 --> 07:44.700
[SPEAKER_01]: That's actually kind of interesting.
07:44.820 --> 07:47.322
[SPEAKER_01]: And we just haven't seen him play third base.
07:47.642 --> 07:52.447
[SPEAKER_01]: He played third base a little bit, but mostly, you know, he's mostly a first base would for us.
07:53.640 --> 08:02.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it would be interesting and also, I mean, that I think that would mean that that elderhood would be in the line of every day, which he is right now, but he would be in every day for a spaceman.
08:03.666 --> 08:07.988
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to spell him, you could put devours over at first, but then who do you have for third?
08:09.449 --> 08:11.270
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because we're talking next year, right?
08:11.310 --> 08:14.411
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we're talking next year, in case you spend it's probably going to be your second
08:21.785 --> 08:26.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love that, I mean, I honestly would, I would absolutely love that.
08:26.792 --> 08:36.946
[SPEAKER_00]: He's my type of player when they signed him, I was super excited, I knew we were going to get this type of performance out of him, I was hoping the team would be in a better spot where we would
08:36.946 --> 08:41.470
[SPEAKER_00]: wouldn't have to trade him and then maybe we can re-up this deal for another couple of years.
08:42.371 --> 08:49.497
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're in that spot where we're gonna have to send him somewhere else and then you're going to have to court him back to San Francisco.
08:49.517 --> 08:52.620
[SPEAKER_00]: The the nice thing is you've had it for a half of season.
08:52.640 --> 08:54.141
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gotten to know the coaching staff.
08:54.161 --> 09:00.747
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gotten to know everybody in the club house and in management, the fans, the ballpark.
09:02.203 --> 09:04.044
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great ballpark for him.
09:04.245 --> 09:08.268
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a Colorado Eskballpark in terms of spaciousness.
09:08.308 --> 09:10.790
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a lot of room to dump hits in.
09:10.830 --> 09:17.555
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, today's game, four for four, couple of those hits were just bloops to popped in.
09:18.776 --> 09:26.041
[SPEAKER_00]: You go to another ballpark where you don't have as much outfield room and the infield is playing or outfield is playing a little bit different.
09:26.161 --> 09:27.582
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it doesn't pop someone those in.
09:28.203 --> 09:31.165
[SPEAKER_00]: But so I think Oracle is a great place for him.
09:31.725 --> 09:33.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but yeah, it's, I don't know.
09:33.786 --> 09:38.849
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a weird time here and we're gonna lose a lot of players right now on the next few days.
09:39.649 --> 09:44.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't see us making too many moves on Monday itself.
09:45.632 --> 09:45.812
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
09:46.252 --> 09:49.554
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I, Buster kind of seems like the type of guy from,
09:50.095 --> 09:54.701
[SPEAKER_00]: everything we've seen the last couple of years, or he wants to make a deal and get it done.
09:55.642 --> 10:02.132
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think we see quite a few deals over the weekend, maybe even starting, you know, Thursday Friday.
10:03.233 --> 10:04.755
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a fun weekend.
10:04.776 --> 10:05.777
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a giant fan,
10:07.178 --> 10:13.603
[SPEAKER_00]: And you like the team and love the team, like us, no matter what, it's hard to watch sometimes.
10:13.723 --> 10:19.167
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's always something exciting that comes out of everything in baseball.
10:19.967 --> 10:26.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially, I'm looking forward to the trade deadline, and I'm looking forward to the offseason, to see what we do.
10:26.792 --> 10:28.493
[SPEAKER_00]: You can make some deals in the offseason too.
10:28.553 --> 10:31.836
[SPEAKER_00]: You can also, you know, there's going to be some free agent pictures out there.
10:31.856 --> 10:33.237
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and, but I,
10:34.097 --> 10:34.598
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm Buster.
10:34.618 --> 10:35.278
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to win.
10:36.279 --> 10:45.329
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure this this season is grinding on him and he's already starting to kind of look towards next season because it is that point of this season where you start to do that.
10:45.389 --> 10:47.151
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be exciting.
10:48.462 --> 10:53.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Casey Schmidt hurt his knee looks next to be out for the year kind of frustrating.
10:53.484 --> 10:55.785
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm sure it's frustrating for him for us.
10:55.845 --> 11:06.829
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like one of the things that was a positive this season was just watching him play and finally come into his own as a guy who we'd been watching for the last few years.
11:08.050 --> 11:12.531
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, you know, just that it's the where and he's never played a full
11:16.789 --> 11:27.198
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, just being a ball player and that caught up to him and hopefully next year he bounces back and this is just behind him and he can continue playing the baseball that he played this year.
11:28.159 --> 11:31.902
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, I know you, I know he can play second base.
11:32.963 --> 11:34.704
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost don't want him to.
11:34.844 --> 11:38.908
[SPEAKER_01]: I just would love for him to just be in, you know, this just be the third
11:45.331 --> 11:54.175
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, that's being a utility guy and having to play left field and having to play some shortstop early in his career having to move over to second base.
11:54.815 --> 11:55.675
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot of wear and tear.
11:55.695 --> 11:56.956
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of different pivots.
11:56.996 --> 12:04.119
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of different ways that you have to go back on a ball versus just playing third base and you know, so I'm sure that's part of it.
12:04.179 --> 12:05.339
[SPEAKER_01]: But hey, he's an athlete.
12:05.460 --> 12:08.281
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a major league baseball player comes with the territory.
12:08.801 --> 12:10.842
[SPEAKER_01]: So I hope that he can come back next year.
12:10.862 --> 12:11.002
[SPEAKER_01]: But
12:12.540 --> 12:26.470
[SPEAKER_01]: And in the same healthy he was in this year, but I guess my question for you is does that affect anything as far as what they do, because he was somebody that we talked about last week, would he be on the table for, you know,
12:38.312 --> 12:39.132
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
12:39.152 --> 12:42.414
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly, I mean, we've seen his name thrown around there.
12:42.994 --> 12:52.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly don't think he was part of getting moved and throwing out a San Francisco because we have too many veterans making too much money.
12:53.918 --> 12:55.579
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got three years of control.
12:55.599 --> 12:57.840
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still a piece of this team.
12:58.200 --> 13:01.221
[SPEAKER_00]: I was reading something I don't know how accurate this is.
13:02.782 --> 13:18.470
[SPEAKER_00]: But ESPN in their fantasy news, they said that if, you know, Casey Schmidt goes in for surgery, there's a chance it's just a minor tear and he could be back in three to six weeks.
13:19.971 --> 13:29.176
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, if it's a full tear or looking at, you know, four to six months, you know, in plenty of time for spring training and everything else and he should be ready for that.
13:32.532 --> 13:37.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, too, if they do trade Chapman and he gets a chance to play every day, third base.
13:40.233 --> 14:03.687
[SPEAKER_01]: I got I would love to see him because it's like you said to it is kind of I do say I'd like to see mid-second because you know you got him in a second shaman a third plus he can he hits for power and it's it's yeah a guy that we're gonna talk about in a little bit was the best power hitter as a middle-in filter on that side that that we saw and just made the hall of fame and we saw how valuable he was
14:04.218 --> 14:05.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
14:05.399 --> 14:08.301
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to see King Casey Schmidt win a gold glove at third base.
14:08.401 --> 14:09.101
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible.
14:09.241 --> 14:10.342
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very possible.
14:11.102 --> 14:14.465
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is kind of a waste of talent to have him at second base.
14:15.205 --> 14:19.288
[SPEAKER_00]: When you've got this guy who could really save you some runs at third base.
14:20.689 --> 14:24.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you've got Casey Schmidt and you've got devours, I don't think devours is blind third base.
14:25.091 --> 14:27.213
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't think that's going to be the case.
14:27.593 --> 14:29.054
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're going to see Schmidt over there.
14:29.094 --> 14:34.679
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe maybe the rest of the season, if Chapman gets dealt, you might see Devers at third base.
14:34.719 --> 14:38.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, cost is doing a fine enough job at the base.
14:39.543 --> 14:40.583
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that big.
14:40.884 --> 14:44.647
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that big of a liability at third base.
14:44.687 --> 14:47.009
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a, you know, he's a ball player.
14:47.029 --> 14:48.910
[SPEAKER_00]: He's an infield where he can play the position.
14:48.950 --> 14:49.771
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
14:50.091 --> 14:54.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a little more limber and a little more quick to the ball than the endeavors is going to be.
14:54.336 --> 14:56.699
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm fine with cost over there at third base.
14:56.919 --> 14:58.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, rest of this season.
14:58.921 --> 14:59.442
[SPEAKER_00]: None of this.
14:59.862 --> 15:05.428
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so hard to watch sometimes, too, because you know none of this helps our draft position next year.
15:05.749 --> 15:06.530
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it doesn't matter.
15:06.990 --> 15:08.150
[SPEAKER_00]: you can't pick in the top 10.
15:08.310 --> 15:11.071
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of like, uh, this is a little bit frustrating to watch.
15:11.712 --> 15:15.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I think, uh, I think any moves that are going to be made.
15:15.733 --> 15:21.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Busters going to try to bleed as much talent as he can out of these trades.
15:22.055 --> 15:24.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so it's going to be interesting to watch.
15:24.516 --> 15:26.996
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'd love to see Casey Schmidt stay.
15:27.757 --> 15:32.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, for for the next few years until his our years are out.
15:32.238 --> 15:35.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, and then if he's still that guy, keep him around.
15:35.779 --> 15:39.522
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's a San Francisco giant, just watching and play in the way he plays the game.
15:39.582 --> 15:41.863
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, I'd love for him to stay for a long time.
15:44.145 --> 15:46.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there, do you think we're going to see any surprise?
15:46.766 --> 15:51.189
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we want to, if something, we expect things to happen.
15:51.249 --> 15:55.612
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe we'll be able to record something short this weekend, based on what happens.
15:56.253 --> 15:58.254
[SPEAKER_01]: But do you think there's going to be any surprises?
15:58.975 --> 16:00.656
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess I would consider
16:02.356 --> 16:08.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Ramos trading, Ramos would be a little surprising to me, but it would knock my socks off.
16:08.779 --> 16:14.281
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think the three highest paid players on the team, if those guys get traded, I'd be really surprised.
16:14.641 --> 16:16.702
[SPEAKER_01]: If something like web got traded, I'd be really surprised.
16:16.742 --> 16:18.162
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect that to happen.
16:19.863 --> 16:23.124
[SPEAKER_01]: If Jung who got traded, I'd be pretty surprised.
16:24.265 --> 16:29.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think there's gonna be any surprises come the trade deadline for giants?
16:31.542 --> 16:40.182
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think the biggest surprise would be for me, it would be jungley, just because he's got that option.
16:42.750 --> 17:04.018
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think if Ramos is traded for a couple of prospects, I'd be more surprised than if he was traded with some of our prospects to a team with a controllable starting pitcher coming back to us that another team just doesn't want to pay.
17:05.219 --> 17:08.760
[SPEAKER_00]: That would make more sense to me than trading Elliot Ramos for
17:10.265 --> 17:12.247
[SPEAKER_00]: a couple of AA prospects.
17:12.987 --> 17:13.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:13.948 --> 17:15.629
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be the hardest part for me.
17:15.649 --> 17:16.770
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be surprising.
17:16.830 --> 17:25.877
[SPEAKER_00]: But if he's part of it deal to bring in a major league picture, I'd be okay with that.
17:26.277 --> 17:27.138
[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be fine with me.
17:28.259 --> 17:28.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
17:28.459 --> 17:33.823
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it does seem like a rise, Robbie Ray.
17:35.104 --> 17:35.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe
17:40.786 --> 17:52.935
[SPEAKER_01]: gone, and, and, you know, Mali would be based on somebody saying, hey, we've really liked what you've done in your last three starts, um, because to season, it's been crud otherwise.
17:53.456 --> 18:01.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, those are the guys that seem like they're, they're done deals and I think if anyone else, other than those three guys,
18:02.242 --> 18:08.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless it's a bullpin arm, I'd be really surprised if it's more than that, but it could be.
18:08.727 --> 18:27.381
[SPEAKER_01]: And if your buster and teams are coming to like, hey, you know, we're willing to part with some stuff, you can kind of play that bell the ball a little bit like, oh, you want our guys, well, guess what, you know, yesterday's paraphrase or actually to to quote,
18:28.585 --> 18:32.288
[SPEAKER_01]: fat Joe yesterday's price is not today's price.
18:34.490 --> 18:44.218
[SPEAKER_01]: So anytime you can quote fat, but I guess just the idea that Buster could actually maybe make up.
18:46.497 --> 18:49.818
[SPEAKER_01]: to the Giants fans who are just like, dude, you've been killing us with these moves.
18:49.978 --> 18:53.340
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, he could make up for that by making some smart moves.
18:53.620 --> 18:56.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe maybe taking advantage of some desperate teams.
18:56.061 --> 18:56.781
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be interesting.
18:56.841 --> 18:57.842
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah.
18:57.922 --> 19:03.224
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, if we're almost like a young who actually do move, I think I would be really surprised.
19:03.284 --> 19:09.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we had this conversation last week, Schmidt versus Robo's, who would we rather have go?
19:11.648 --> 19:12.088
[SPEAKER_01]: I think,
19:13.680 --> 19:17.762
[SPEAKER_01]: who who Elliot Ramos becomes in like three or four years.
19:18.943 --> 19:20.024
[SPEAKER_01]: He's probably a DH.
19:21.325 --> 19:23.546
[SPEAKER_01]: He's probably a right-handed DH now.
19:24.767 --> 19:27.888
[SPEAKER_01]: He might be a guy who hits 30 jacks at that point.
19:28.089 --> 19:31.391
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been to his body there a little bit because he's still a young man.
19:32.511 --> 19:34.673
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think he's a DH and the giants.
19:35.722 --> 19:37.243
[SPEAKER_01]: already have a few of those guys.
19:37.623 --> 19:45.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the idea is like, hey, you know, we can get something for Ramos and we have guys coming through the pipeline who will be able to replace that position.
19:46.409 --> 19:57.235
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't as long as, like you said, as long as the trade is forward thinking and maybe you get some help for the big league team and some help for the minor league system.
19:57.255 --> 19:58.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'd be okay with that.
19:58.476 --> 20:04.360
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, you know, that it's going to be a fascinating next several days for the giants, I think.
20:05.121 --> 20:05.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
20:05.822 --> 20:15.249
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to keep my eye on on on blue sky and everywhere else that I can just to see like, okay, what's what are the rumors now?
20:15.329 --> 20:16.210
[SPEAKER_00]: What's happening?
20:16.250 --> 20:17.291
[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on?
20:18.432 --> 20:24.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I go on there now and I see Jackson Flora, you know, hanging out at at Oracle today, which was kind of fun.
20:24.837 --> 20:26.838
[SPEAKER_01]: See what would they see what will he had out of us told them.
20:27.499 --> 20:27.719
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
20:28.230 --> 20:39.496
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a, hey, can you pitch tomorrow and Matt Malley probably sign I didn't well, you know, he's pitching tomorrow.
20:39.516 --> 20:41.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I think is Robby Ray okay.
20:41.577 --> 20:42.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
20:42.878 --> 20:43.538
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:43.618 --> 20:47.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Robby Ray is, uh, you know, he's kind of like the, uh,
20:48.769 --> 20:54.594
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he should probably do his hair up, you know, maybe maybe get the you need looking perfect.
20:54.654 --> 20:57.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe get the pants a little tighter than then they are.
20:57.857 --> 20:59.118
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got to showcase that man.
20:59.638 --> 21:00.599
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right, man.
21:00.839 --> 21:02.180
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and don't get hurt.
21:02.360 --> 21:02.981
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.
21:03.001 --> 21:03.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't get hurt.
21:03.721 --> 21:04.862
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of those guys.
21:05.863 --> 21:13.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he came to the giants in, you know, I wouldn't say that the last two years were dark years, but they were 500 years.
21:14.070 --> 21:14.991
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a dark year.
21:15.987 --> 21:31.173
[SPEAKER_01]: But I wish he was with the team when we were better because he would be a fan to, he's already a good giant, but he would be kind of the upper echelon of those fantastic giants if he was just on a winning team and he was pitching in the postseason.
21:31.193 --> 21:32.313
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that would have been fun to see.
21:32.624 --> 21:34.525
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he would have been a Jason Schmidt right.
21:34.885 --> 21:52.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's kind of a good comparison that he would have been a Jason Schmidt type of guy where it was like solid strike out pitcher deals And fun to watch in the playoffs because yeah, I mean, you go into the playoffs with Logan Webb and Robbie Ray and
21:53.333 --> 22:05.945
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, whoever else at that point right now, no money, but, you know, those two guys and and and you got a chance in short series of four out of seven little bit tougher, but but still they give you a chance to get to the second round.
22:07.407 --> 22:10.390
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jeff Kent Hallfamor.
22:11.070 --> 22:17.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he went in with Andrew Jones and Carlos Beltron and you know,
22:18.099 --> 22:18.959
[SPEAKER_01]: MLB the show.
22:19.960 --> 22:22.741
[SPEAKER_01]: So they do the Hall of Fame series and they have Andrew Jones.
22:23.281 --> 22:29.143
[SPEAKER_01]: They have Carlos Beltron or as a Joe Miller or John Miller, you just call him Carlos Beltron.
22:30.704 --> 22:32.985
[SPEAKER_01]: No Jeff Kent card in the show.
22:33.045 --> 22:34.945
[SPEAKER_01]: They must not have licensed him this year.
22:34.985 --> 22:36.766
[SPEAKER_01]: I was kind of a nice one man.
22:36.786 --> 22:38.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see the Jeff Kent Giants card.
22:39.247 --> 22:44.048
[SPEAKER_01]: But I only saw, I saw him when he was on Tom Tolberg's show.
22:44.068 --> 22:45.588
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got to see some of his stuff.
22:45.608 --> 22:48.089
[SPEAKER_01]: But how was, how did you watch any of that stuff?
22:49.009 --> 22:49.949
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I did not.
22:49.969 --> 23:07.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to, I didn't get around to it this week, but I saw some clips here in there and he was talking about how he loved San Francisco and, you know, love that Sabine was able to bring in players to, you know, surround Barry Bonds and give them all a chance to, you know, get to the playoffs and be a playoff team.
23:09.133 --> 23:12.856
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because he came in and giants went to the playoffs.
23:12.876 --> 23:16.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I think three of the years, three or four of the years that he was there.
23:17.499 --> 23:22.662
[SPEAKER_00]: So they always had a fighting chance, but he's very grateful for San Francisco in his time there.
23:22.762 --> 23:25.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, those were his best years.
23:25.845 --> 23:28.126
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had some good years with the Dodgers.
23:28.166 --> 23:31.849
[SPEAKER_00]: He had some, you know, good years in, let's see where else.
23:31.989 --> 23:33.910
[SPEAKER_00]: Cleveland, Houston.
23:34.310 --> 23:38.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so, but San Francisco is kind of what made him, you know,
23:38.333 --> 23:52.067
[SPEAKER_00]: hitting near Barry bonds is gonna help you yeah and uh there was some crazy stat that um i think a hundred and one of the runs that he drove in were uh Barry bonds
23:54.385 --> 24:02.074
[SPEAKER_00]: So 100 RBI of his career stats can be contributed to Barry Bond's probably walking or hitting a single in front of them.
24:02.274 --> 24:07.239
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they flip flopped them because then bonds will see that behind Kent at certain times.
24:07.660 --> 24:09.582
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think it would have been way more probably.
24:09.602 --> 24:11.984
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what some fake nuts.
24:12.845 --> 24:24.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Hardcore Giants fans know this, but you know, maybe maybe maybe some newer fans don't know this, but he was a part of maybe the most One of the most unpopular trades in giant history.
24:24.710 --> 24:30.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because they traded Matt Williams to the Cleveland team and they brought back
24:31.333 --> 24:37.139
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeff Kent in Hullion to Varaz and that was one of the most unpopular trades.
24:37.880 --> 24:41.324
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember because you know, I was a big came be our guy when I was a little kid.
24:41.985 --> 24:45.128
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I was I wasn't a little kid at this point.
24:45.168 --> 24:47.411
[SPEAKER_01]: I was already in in my 20s, but
24:48.091 --> 24:52.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the idea of Matt Williams being traded was kind of crazy, right?
24:52.915 --> 24:54.837
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, yeah, how is this possible?
24:54.857 --> 25:02.924
[SPEAKER_01]: You brought this guy up as a, as a rookie and, you know, he went to Reno and he's kind of, you know, Reno's close enough to the bay area.
25:02.944 --> 25:08.728
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's our guy and they trade him and they bring in Kent and you're not sure.
25:09.309 --> 25:11.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if Kent is going to produce.
25:12.628 --> 25:25.671
[SPEAKER_01]: necessarily like he's a middle infielders not the greatest middle infielder and all of a sudden can't goes off and just has like some tremendous years with beats out Barry Barnes for an MVP award
25:26.570 --> 25:34.855
[SPEAKER_01]: which is kind of insane when you think about the year that he the year that he did it in the time frame of when Barry was just going crazy.
25:35.555 --> 25:46.502
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, Jeff Kent was never one of my favorite guys, like I would never put him on that echelon of like the Mount Rushmore of my favorite giants ever, but agree which is weird.
25:46.522 --> 25:46.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:47.423 --> 25:50.685
[SPEAKER_01]: But in that same time frame, like,
25:51.618 --> 26:18.376
[SPEAKER_01]: him and Barry together and you could throw, you know, Ellis Berks in there, who, whomever you want to throw in as far as like the next guy Andres Galaraga was here for a little bit like you're like, okay, like he, he was, you know, he was the guy who, if you couldn't have Barry up, you're like, okay, like we're fine with Jeff coming up because he's almost, you know, he's almost as reliable as Barry was.
26:19.014 --> 26:27.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was amazing because I was looking at the stats and I remember when he got traded, you know, because we had Baseball cards at that time to look at stats.
26:28.362 --> 26:34.427
[SPEAKER_00]: We can go to the interwebs and look up this stuff on baseball reference, but I can do that now, but at the time he was traded.
26:36.089 --> 26:40.573
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a 20 home run guy, you know, 20 home runs to 70 to 80 hitter.
26:41.413 --> 26:42.875
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're getting this guy back.
26:43.672 --> 26:44.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what?
26:44.573 --> 26:44.893
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
26:45.634 --> 26:46.795
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're losing Matt Williams.
26:47.456 --> 26:47.877
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
26:47.937 --> 26:49.558
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of weird.
26:51.621 --> 27:03.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the year he came to us, he'd had 27 home runs between the mats and Cleveland.
27:05.500 --> 27:10.742
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the year we got him in 97, he hit 29 homerons and they just kept going from there.
27:11.242 --> 27:12.202
[SPEAKER_00]: And was ballooning.
27:12.422 --> 27:13.202
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was crazy.
27:13.242 --> 27:18.183
[SPEAKER_00]: And that MVP year was the first year that Oracle is open.
27:18.464 --> 27:19.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:19.644 --> 27:21.524
[SPEAKER_00]: And he hit 334 with 33 homerons in Oracle.
27:24.348 --> 27:32.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember when you have an Elster hit three jacks on open day and everybody thought it was going to be a lively ballpark.
27:32.175 --> 27:36.639
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, some certain days certain days.
27:36.719 --> 27:42.283
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that say though, is that say something about the ball to say something about the players like how can you have?
27:43.084 --> 27:44.446
[SPEAKER_01]: can't in bonds.
27:45.046 --> 27:48.330
[SPEAKER_01]: And then maybe, you know, you talk about rich really, you can talk about elispercs.
27:48.851 --> 27:52.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Like those guys had such great power numbers at Oracle.
27:52.835 --> 27:55.018
[SPEAKER_01]: And yet today, like nobody wants to play here.
27:55.038 --> 27:55.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's just a different era.
27:55.879 --> 28:01.085
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
28:01.972 --> 28:02.372
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
28:02.392 --> 28:03.873
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have an answer.
28:03.893 --> 28:06.575
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think the ball players are a little bit different nowadays.
28:06.595 --> 28:08.116
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many analytics.
28:08.136 --> 28:11.418
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many things telling you about long-changle and your house.
28:11.438 --> 28:12.879
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just had home run hitters.
28:12.899 --> 28:13.539
[SPEAKER_00]: You had guys.
28:14.200 --> 28:18.743
[SPEAKER_00]: And you also had pitchers, not throwing 102 miles an hour.
28:18.803 --> 28:19.343
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
28:19.403 --> 28:19.863
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a thing.
28:19.903 --> 28:21.564
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you had it.
28:21.865 --> 28:25.187
[SPEAKER_00]: If a guy was throwing 95, you're like, oh, I guys got gas.
28:25.447 --> 28:25.667
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
28:25.907 --> 28:34.215
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, back then, but now you've got a guy throwing 101, 102, so it's a little bit harder to pot the ball out of the ballpark.
28:34.635 --> 28:36.997
[SPEAKER_00]: Sliders were the thing, man.
28:37.017 --> 28:40.420
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you hung a slider, it's getting hit out of the ballpark.
28:40.460 --> 28:41.381
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter who it is.
28:41.421 --> 28:43.063
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Elster is going to hit three home runs.
28:43.103 --> 28:48.628
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, I think that's probably the difference is the pitching because again, analytics,
28:50.213 --> 28:56.715
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, all the stats, everything else that shows the spin rate and how you can get a little bit more extra on your fastball.
28:56.735 --> 28:57.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I really didn't have that back then.
28:59.376 --> 28:59.716
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
28:59.796 --> 29:14.261
[SPEAKER_01]: So the lat, you know, well, like I said, we're, I think we are going to try and come back, at least to do something this weekend, based on the trades that we expect to happen and if no trades happen, then there's really no reason, but we expect to happen.
29:14.621 --> 29:16.042
[SPEAKER_01]: If no trades happen.
29:17.125 --> 29:18.226
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure what to think.
29:18.246 --> 29:19.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.
29:19.847 --> 29:20.887
[SPEAKER_01]: I can just tell you that.
29:21.247 --> 29:23.068
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'm going to have a thought.
29:23.329 --> 29:23.709
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
29:24.209 --> 29:26.130
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't make a single trade.
29:26.190 --> 29:26.830
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah.
29:27.591 --> 29:32.454
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll have this show, you know, this show will be a little shorter than normal.
29:32.494 --> 29:37.617
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's talk about something that is unrelated to this big league team.
29:38.597 --> 29:42.459
[SPEAKER_01]: But very exciting at the same time.
29:42.539 --> 29:43.100
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is.
29:44.335 --> 29:48.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Swar Gonzalez and Luis Hernandez.
29:48.337 --> 29:53.539
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to, like, I've got baby Lou as a little nick name for Luis, I don't know.
29:53.939 --> 29:57.521
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Joe Swar in of itself is just like a cool name.
29:57.541 --> 29:59.822
[SPEAKER_01]: So you probably don't give Joe Swar a nick name.
29:59.842 --> 30:01.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Just call him Joe Swar.
30:01.462 --> 30:02.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:02.223 --> 30:07.525
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he'll probably pronounce it differently in the way like, oh, man, I like it better at Joe Swar.
30:08.305 --> 30:10.887
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's probably going to come in and be like, it's Joshua.
30:12.387 --> 30:37.340
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not, but those guys were sent to the San Jose Giants, the low abal team, a team that you used to broadcast for back in the day, a team that I have been going to San Jose, I mean, you probably been going to, but I was going to San Jose Giants games before they were even the San Jose Giants when they were raised.
30:37.800 --> 31:00.148
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... went and plenty of those games and so you know this really cool and you know talk to my kids about you know we need to go see these guys and and Brian said well maybe let's wait to see when flora pitches if he's going to pitch in sandals a i think some some people think he's going to you know have a few starts in sandals a and let's look at that makes sense but man
31:00.992 --> 31:05.916
[SPEAKER_01]: These, Luis Hernandez hit like a 400 and some on foot bomb the other day.
31:05.936 --> 31:09.799
[SPEAKER_01]: This dude is 17 years old, like, what's going on?
31:09.879 --> 31:16.724
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, can we just like fast forward like two years and have them come up as a teenager on the big league team?
31:16.784 --> 31:19.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, gosh, I'm so excited for these guys.
31:20.147 --> 31:21.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's pretty insane.
31:21.568 --> 31:22.909
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, what is he?
31:22.969 --> 31:25.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at Joshua, Joshua.
31:25.271 --> 31:26.952
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
31:27.112 --> 31:28.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll come, Joe Swar.
31:30.795 --> 31:32.337
[SPEAKER_00]: He is hitting 200.
31:32.417 --> 31:34.779
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got five at bat so far.
31:35.259 --> 31:37.061
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got hurt in that first game.
31:37.081 --> 31:38.422
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they're being pretty careful.
31:38.502 --> 31:40.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, a cramp.
31:40.364 --> 31:42.546
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Luis Hernandez hitting just 182.
31:42.586 --> 31:43.667
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's got that bomb.
31:43.707 --> 31:44.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Show's the power.
31:45.148 --> 31:47.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Made that glorious replay at third base.
31:48.491 --> 31:50.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and he's walked three times.
31:50.292 --> 31:51.233
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a good eye.
31:51.273 --> 31:52.434
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's working on all that.
31:52.874 --> 31:56.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, this is a this is a fantastic taste for these guys.
31:56.877 --> 31:58.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I know everybody's excited.
31:58.098 --> 31:59.239
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's get these guys up.
31:59.299 --> 32:00.260
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
32:00.280 --> 32:02.281
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to finish the season in San Jose.
32:02.301 --> 32:04.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't imagine they're going to finish the season anywhere else.
32:04.703 --> 32:06.945
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're I don't think they're going to end up in Eugene.
32:06.965 --> 32:09.927
[SPEAKER_01]: They may have been start the season next year in San Jose.
32:10.427 --> 32:17.054
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's very possible, and then after a month or so, to kind of see how things are gone, maybe they've worked their way up to Eugene.
32:17.074 --> 32:21.158
[SPEAKER_00]: So, those days, a nice ballpark to hit in the summer.
32:22.579 --> 32:25.482
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember when I was broadcasting, there were a lot of home runs.
32:25.522 --> 32:27.724
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that was a nice ballpark to hit in.
32:29.126 --> 32:30.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Eugene, the beginning,
32:31.748 --> 32:34.049
[SPEAKER_00]: of the baseball season in Eugene, Oregon.
32:34.590 --> 32:36.031
[SPEAKER_00]: The ball does not fly.
32:36.491 --> 32:37.171
[SPEAKER_00]: It's cold.
32:37.552 --> 32:38.172
[SPEAKER_00]: It's wet.
32:38.452 --> 32:40.914
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really hard to kind of get things going.
32:42.194 --> 32:49.919
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe that's one of those things where, hey, let's wait until June and then get those guys over to Eugene.
32:50.620 --> 32:51.640
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's excited.
32:51.720 --> 32:53.201
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's very exciting.
32:53.261 --> 32:54.262
[SPEAKER_00]: The future looks bright.
32:54.742 --> 32:56.843
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with this trade deadline, the giants are just
32:57.964 --> 33:05.046
[SPEAKER_00]: more bodies to that list of top prospects.
33:05.106 --> 33:12.108
[SPEAKER_00]: If they can get anybody that cracks their top 10 in any of these trades, I'll be super excited.
33:12.648 --> 33:17.490
[SPEAKER_00]: I think anybody would be so that's kind of something to look forward to.
33:17.530 --> 33:20.050
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, seeing those guys in San Jose and then you being right there.
33:20.070 --> 33:20.790
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's awesome.
33:20.810 --> 33:25.332
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys tell the boys, you're not going to wait until Jackson
33:26.692 --> 33:27.613
[SPEAKER_00]: The tickets are cheap.
33:27.633 --> 33:29.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Just go scouting and then they got good barbecue.
33:30.714 --> 33:36.497
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like they got a good crowd too for the debut game of those guys.
33:37.558 --> 33:49.184
[SPEAKER_01]: And Johnny level, they sent him up to Eugene and he's sitting jacks up there so, you don't want to jinx it, but these guys do look like the real deal, especially early on in their careers.
33:49.624 --> 33:54.726
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the interesting thing is, you know, you have Dakota Jordan Park's harbour
33:56.227 --> 34:05.733
[SPEAKER_01]: they're older and they may be a little bit more ready to play in the big leagues, but they're also not the like the typical top prospects.
34:05.753 --> 34:11.737
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of what that's why waiting is so hard is because you're waiting for these guys like man.
34:12.419 --> 34:17.901
[SPEAKER_01]: These are three of our best prospects and they're in high A and low A.
34:18.021 --> 34:21.043
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you got for a coming in who hasn't even pitched yet.
34:21.863 --> 34:29.346
[SPEAKER_01]: So you've got to be patient with these guys, but I think it would be pretty incredible if Hernandez was like a...
34:30.188 --> 34:33.450
[SPEAKER_01]: a teenager, you know, to make the big leagues like that would be amazing.
34:33.590 --> 34:35.452
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not that I'm not that we need to push him.
34:35.592 --> 34:41.375
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, graffiti junior and Bryce Harper and guys like that who made the bigs as teenager.
34:41.395 --> 34:43.097
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really, it's a cool thing to have.
34:43.597 --> 34:44.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, for sure.
34:44.417 --> 34:44.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
34:45.638 --> 34:46.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right.
34:46.479 --> 34:47.460
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.
34:47.480 --> 35:03.619
[SPEAKER_01]: So like I said, we will, uh, we're going to try and come back at the end of this week and maybe do a little bit on the the trade deadline will end this one a little early because our allies are on this deadline, uh, giants had a good series.
35:03.639 --> 35:04.399
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to.
35:05.537 --> 35:07.057
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, you don't want to overlook that.
35:07.097 --> 35:10.558
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when they actually play a good baseball, you say, hey, you played a good baseball.
35:10.578 --> 35:11.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Like things came together.
35:12.198 --> 35:18.200
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't want to underestimate like this season, but still we're kind of looking towards what's happening.
35:18.240 --> 35:22.901
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really what more more what we're interested in than just day to day baseball games.
35:22.941 --> 35:23.761
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
35:23.781 --> 35:23.921
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
35:24.541 --> 35:24.881
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
35:24.981 --> 35:28.222
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's it from here.
35:28.242 --> 35:33.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say for the 49ers podcast, we want winners.
35:34.562 --> 35:43.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Rod has been he had a surgical procedure and I'll let him talk about that as to why we haven't really done anything, but I think he's kind of ready to come back.
35:43.646 --> 35:47.988
[SPEAKER_01]: So we may record something this weekend, maybe push it out a little bit.
35:54.756 --> 36:20.692
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... we're doing two episodes a week at this point and i think we're going to launch a separate feed for pod hall so just if you are interested in the valkyrie stuff just kind of stay tuned on that uh... but uh... yet things are kind of moving shake in here at at at be a piece of so uh... things are uh... i'm actually kind of looking at the challenges in doing some things as kind of a fun fun part of of
36:21.452 --> 36:24.014
[SPEAKER_01]: essentially creating and running a podcast network.
36:24.054 --> 36:27.116
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but this is the OG podcast of this podcast.
36:27.416 --> 36:28.917
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we can't believe it.
36:29.658 --> 36:33.400
[SPEAKER_00]: We were, we were running during the pandemic there.
36:34.141 --> 36:38.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we started during the pandemic and then they were, and then there was a fall start.
36:39.625 --> 36:41.366
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we were thought, oh, they're going to get started.
36:41.406 --> 36:42.307
[SPEAKER_00]: So we came on and
36:43.467 --> 37:03.363
[SPEAKER_00]: they did not get started and we were running a well out-of-the-park baseball simulations have been the best I got to go back and look at that because I got to look at my notes and see who ended up winning that I want to say it was the 93 I'm pretty sure it was the 93 Giants who ended up winning that tournament
37:03.383 --> 37:10.551
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't know, back six years ago, when we first started this, we did a, we did an out of the park simulation.
37:11.392 --> 37:14.516
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're familiar with that game, it's a great baseball simulation game.
37:14.876 --> 37:20.202
[SPEAKER_00]: But we took the best Giants teams of all time and pitted them all against each other.
37:20.222 --> 37:22.705
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm from what I remember the 1993 Giants won the whole.
37:24.148 --> 37:26.070
[SPEAKER_00]: See if they would have just gotten in the playoffs.
37:26.090 --> 37:26.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
37:27.210 --> 37:29.612
[SPEAKER_00]: The Stinking Rockies would have done something.
37:30.353 --> 37:31.694
[SPEAKER_00]: We could have gotten in the playoffs.
37:31.714 --> 37:34.076
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it would have been a Solomon Torres.
37:34.236 --> 37:35.977
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, of course, Solomon.
37:36.358 --> 37:36.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
37:37.098 --> 37:39.380
[SPEAKER_00]: I keep blaming the Rockies, but it was Solomon Torres.
37:39.560 --> 37:43.123
[SPEAKER_01]: William, William Ben launching pad has grew up all good.
37:44.433 --> 37:48.976
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how the pitching went and done in the playoffs after watching those last, like, couple weeks of the season.
37:48.996 --> 37:50.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
37:50.317 --> 37:54.299
[SPEAKER_00]: That was an offensive team that scored when it wanted to score.
37:54.379 --> 37:59.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So, all right, we're done here, but we'll be back, like I said, hopefully this weekend.
37:59.262 --> 38:02.624
[SPEAKER_01]: And if nothing happens, and we'll just be back next week, but we think something's gonna happen.
38:02.685 --> 38:03.805
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's something we'll happen.
38:04.125 --> 38:05.046
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, stay tuned.
38:05.947 --> 38:08.188
[SPEAKER_01]: That is it for Brad, I am WG.
38:08.228 --> 38:11.230
[SPEAKER_01]: We will see when we see you piece out, piece.
00:10.173 --> 00:11.814
[SPEAKER_01]: It is Thompson to Clark.
00:11.854 --> 00:27.037
[SPEAKER_01]: We are here, and after the, or early evening, after the giants just beat the bumps off of the Milwaukee viewers, you know, I was just on a podcast today representing Thompson to Clark.
00:28.077 --> 00:29.677
[SPEAKER_01]: It was called the pesky podcast.
00:29.717 --> 00:33.578
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about the, it's a, it's a Red Sox podcast and they're doing trade deadline stuff.
00:34.118 --> 00:37.059
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I was representing the giants in a West.
00:37.991 --> 01:04.071
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... they had an Arizona diamond backs guy jeff uh... i think jeff does radio out there as well uh... and then there was a there was a podries guy on he he wasn't on for very long uh... they were missing the dodgers person so he just kind of talked about the dodgers behind the back but they probably thought they didn't need to send anybody because they don't have to do anything they're so good as guys but the uh...
01:05.087 --> 01:26.030
[SPEAKER_01]: The thing that we were talking about and it relates to the breweries, which is why I'm bringing it up here is, you know, the Dodgers are kind of like the boogie man of the entire major league baseball and it was like, well, who's got the best chance and in the past we've had this conversation and I think we feel a little bit more confident in in the braves ability to go through three series than the brewers.
01:26.990 --> 01:37.801
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, the brewers, they're right there with the Dodgers far as wins, the Dodgers have a slightly better run differential, but the brewers are the second best run differential in all of baseball.
01:37.821 --> 01:39.603
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're right there, and yet.
01:41.186 --> 01:48.352
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't believe in them like for whatever reason I don't believe in them and then the giants go out there and spank them 16 to three and win the series.
01:49.273 --> 01:54.938
[SPEAKER_01]: They lost yesterday's game, but yeah, they they tie Tyler Molly modem down like so I don't know.
01:55.039 --> 02:01.765
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what that's about the brewers, but they also won the the season series, which was a best of seven basically.
02:01.805 --> 02:04.167
[SPEAKER_00]: It was seven games series, giant's one four three.
02:05.192 --> 02:07.253
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, put us in the playoffs.
02:07.494 --> 02:12.177
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, only if we play the Dodgers and the brewers, everyone else will be going to kill back.
02:13.358 --> 02:22.704
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, there's there's there's conversations going on about whether or not, you know, certain guys are going to get traded.
02:22.824 --> 02:26.727
[SPEAKER_01]: I saw Elliott Ramos was a rumored to get traded.
02:26.787 --> 02:28.208
[SPEAKER_01]: He got four hits today.
02:30.978 --> 02:33.140
[SPEAKER_01]: did, uh, uh, Logan Web started this game.
02:33.741 --> 02:34.221
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he did.
02:34.241 --> 02:37.104
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that and he got run support.
02:37.164 --> 02:39.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for once is like, huh?
02:40.167 --> 02:41.188
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, wait.
02:41.409 --> 02:45.052
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, the sixth inning you guys scored seven runs for me.
02:45.533 --> 02:47.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm just not going to go out for the seventh.
02:47.555 --> 02:48.075
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm done.
02:48.116 --> 02:49.377
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this might be good enough.
02:50.422 --> 02:58.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but Louis the rise, I think he also had four hits and he's I think he's in the major league lead for batting average overall now.
02:59.245 --> 03:01.385
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't he and Lopez are kind of going back and forth.
03:02.485 --> 03:07.227
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, uh, Jung who got a couple hits had three RBI, uh,
03:09.111 --> 03:16.193
[SPEAKER_01]: other guys that may not be traded, but are still going to be in rumors, a Domus and Devers that they went hitless.
03:16.333 --> 03:18.994
[SPEAKER_01]: As did Bryce Elcher, also went hitless.
03:20.114 --> 03:24.995
[SPEAKER_01]: But Daniel Suzack of all people went deep twice, including against a position player.
03:26.536 --> 03:37.059
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, so, you know, that's one of those games where it's it's a bit of an outlier where all of a sudden, you know, the warriors just, uh, the warriors, the giants just, um,
03:37.719 --> 03:49.412
[SPEAKER_01]: bust out, they bust loose against a team and they score a bunch of runs and then there are other games where you're like, they can't string, you know, two, two, two hits together or they can't make contact two games in a row.
03:49.452 --> 03:57.942
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's just this funky thing whatever it is about certain teams and and they they can play well against them like the brewers and the Dodgers so far.
03:58.983 --> 03:59.924
[SPEAKER_00]: That's amazing.
04:00.084 --> 04:07.650
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's funny to watch this team, you know, I was looking again at quality starts because you go back to the pitching.
04:07.690 --> 04:11.193
[SPEAKER_00]: You go back to what we have today in Logan Webb and other quality start.
04:12.013 --> 04:17.698
[SPEAKER_00]: And you start to look at the number of quality starts of teams that are equal to us offensively in the Seattle Mariners.
04:17.718 --> 04:19.019
[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about this couple of weeks ago.
04:19.539 --> 04:19.979
[SPEAKER_00]: We went
04:21.120 --> 04:41.593
[SPEAKER_00]: in the Seattle got smoked right we we won the first game lost the next two you know an ugly fashion and it's you know those were bullpen issues of course but when you look at quality starts the Seattle Mariners have 10 more quality starts the season and the giants and the Seattle Mariners again similar offense
04:42.473 --> 04:45.736
[SPEAKER_00]: They're a 500 bulk look and and that's what it takes.
04:45.756 --> 04:51.761
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm starting pitching in a couple of bullpen pieces and and this team is probably not far off.
04:52.081 --> 04:55.264
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so hard to watch and say that, but again, you're going to lose Luis Horizon.
04:55.724 --> 04:57.546
[SPEAKER_00]: You may lose Elliott Ramos.
04:58.106 --> 04:58.927
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible.
04:58.967 --> 05:02.010
[SPEAKER_00]: You lose Adamus or Devers.
05:02.050 --> 05:04.452
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, anything can happen in the next few days.
05:05.272 --> 05:27.390
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but, but if this team sticks together, uh, and a couple of minor league pieces and parks harbour and bodated some possibly next year, and then some preagency moves, and then they can get, uh, another starter or two, short of the bullpen, this team could look, uh, I didn't even say it, so we were to say, but this team could look like a contender next year for
05:35.265 --> 05:50.950
[SPEAKER_01]: But the people who they depend on for offense and who they're paying the most money to who's plugged in, outside of Devers, and I'm confident in Devers to an extent.
05:50.990 --> 05:55.052
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not confident in him being the consistent, you know,
05:56.261 --> 06:16.806
[SPEAKER_01]: guy for month to month like I was talking I was on that podcast the pesky podcast and the guy who runs it is a red sucks guy and he's so he you know he knows divers very well and he's like yeah you know divers is kind of like just a late starter like every single year just just kind of gets going eventually but he's not there at the beginning and I get it like his numbers are going to even out
06:17.507 --> 06:29.813
[SPEAKER_01]: But do you want that guy to be the guy who you're depending on all season long, to be the big thumper, you kind of want someone who's a little bit more consistent and not as streaky, but he did make an interesting point.
06:30.153 --> 06:33.315
[SPEAKER_01]: And I wanted to get your thoughts on this, because we've been talking about Devours all year long.
06:35.215 --> 06:40.878
[SPEAKER_01]: At this point, I think we'd be really surprised if Devours Adomas or Chapman were traded.
06:41.798 --> 06:41.979
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
06:42.059 --> 06:44.680
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I thought, you know,
06:46.443 --> 06:54.886
[SPEAKER_01]: If now that Casey Schmidt got hurt, we'll talk about that in a second, does that mean that they're not even going to think about trading Chapman and then
06:56.310 --> 06:57.450
[SPEAKER_01]: the Red Sox guy, the Rit.
06:57.750 --> 07:00.711
[SPEAKER_01]: He said, well, you know, Devours can play third base.
07:00.771 --> 07:03.292
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
07:04.033 --> 07:05.113
[SPEAKER_01]: He was.
07:05.253 --> 07:06.273
[SPEAKER_01]: And he probably wants to.
07:06.854 --> 07:12.375
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be the way to split him and Bryce Eldridge up position wise.
07:12.535 --> 07:17.117
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they decided, because because when Schmick I heard, I was like, oh, they're definitely not trading Chapman now.
07:17.577 --> 07:21.180
[SPEAKER_01]: But then I was reminded that Devers can actually play there.
07:21.640 --> 07:25.483
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I don't think he wouldn't be the answer.
07:25.543 --> 07:29.446
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd probably not want him to be your everyday third baseman, but
07:30.347 --> 07:38.294
[SPEAKER_01]: For this year, it would split, he and Eldra jump and you wouldn't have to worry so much about them being duplicative in defensively.
07:38.755 --> 07:40.276
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was an interesting thing.
07:40.696 --> 07:41.777
[SPEAKER_01]: And I thought, you know what?
07:41.897 --> 07:44.700
[SPEAKER_01]: That's actually kind of interesting.
07:44.820 --> 07:47.322
[SPEAKER_01]: And we just haven't seen him play third base.
07:47.642 --> 07:52.447
[SPEAKER_01]: He played third base a little bit, but mostly, you know, he's mostly a first base would for us.
07:53.640 --> 08:02.905
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it would be interesting and also, I mean, that I think that would mean that that elderhood would be in the line of every day, which he is right now, but he would be in every day for a spaceman.
08:03.666 --> 08:07.988
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you want to spell him, you could put devours over at first, but then who do you have for third?
08:09.449 --> 08:11.270
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because we're talking next year, right?
08:11.310 --> 08:14.411
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we're talking next year, in case you spend it's probably going to be your second
08:21.785 --> 08:26.572
[SPEAKER_00]: I would love that, I mean, I honestly would, I would absolutely love that.
08:26.792 --> 08:36.946
[SPEAKER_00]: He's my type of player when they signed him, I was super excited, I knew we were going to get this type of performance out of him, I was hoping the team would be in a better spot where we would
08:36.946 --> 08:41.470
[SPEAKER_00]: wouldn't have to trade him and then maybe we can re-up this deal for another couple of years.
08:42.371 --> 08:49.497
[SPEAKER_00]: But we're in that spot where we're gonna have to send him somewhere else and then you're going to have to court him back to San Francisco.
08:49.517 --> 08:52.620
[SPEAKER_00]: The the nice thing is you've had it for a half of season.
08:52.640 --> 08:54.141
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gotten to know the coaching staff.
08:54.161 --> 09:00.747
[SPEAKER_00]: He's gotten to know everybody in the club house and in management, the fans, the ballpark.
09:02.203 --> 09:04.044
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great ballpark for him.
09:04.245 --> 09:08.268
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a Colorado Eskballpark in terms of spaciousness.
09:08.308 --> 09:10.790
[SPEAKER_00]: He has a lot of room to dump hits in.
09:10.830 --> 09:17.555
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, today's game, four for four, couple of those hits were just bloops to popped in.
09:18.776 --> 09:26.041
[SPEAKER_00]: You go to another ballpark where you don't have as much outfield room and the infield is playing or outfield is playing a little bit different.
09:26.161 --> 09:27.582
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it doesn't pop someone those in.
09:28.203 --> 09:31.165
[SPEAKER_00]: But so I think Oracle is a great place for him.
09:31.725 --> 09:33.766
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but yeah, it's, I don't know.
09:33.786 --> 09:38.849
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a weird time here and we're gonna lose a lot of players right now on the next few days.
09:39.649 --> 09:44.571
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't see us making too many moves on Monday itself.
09:45.632 --> 09:45.812
[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.
09:46.252 --> 09:49.554
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I, Buster kind of seems like the type of guy from,
09:50.095 --> 09:54.701
[SPEAKER_00]: everything we've seen the last couple of years, or he wants to make a deal and get it done.
09:55.642 --> 10:02.132
[SPEAKER_00]: And so I think we see quite a few deals over the weekend, maybe even starting, you know, Thursday Friday.
10:03.233 --> 10:04.755
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be a fun weekend.
10:04.776 --> 10:05.777
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a giant fan,
10:07.178 --> 10:13.603
[SPEAKER_00]: And you like the team and love the team, like us, no matter what, it's hard to watch sometimes.
10:13.723 --> 10:19.167
[SPEAKER_00]: But there's always something exciting that comes out of everything in baseball.
10:19.967 --> 10:26.212
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially, I'm looking forward to the trade deadline, and I'm looking forward to the offseason, to see what we do.
10:26.792 --> 10:28.493
[SPEAKER_00]: You can make some deals in the offseason too.
10:28.553 --> 10:31.836
[SPEAKER_00]: You can also, you know, there's going to be some free agent pictures out there.
10:31.856 --> 10:33.237
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and, but I,
10:34.097 --> 10:34.598
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I'm Buster.
10:34.618 --> 10:35.278
[SPEAKER_00]: He wants to win.
10:36.279 --> 10:45.329
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure this this season is grinding on him and he's already starting to kind of look towards next season because it is that point of this season where you start to do that.
10:45.389 --> 10:47.151
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to be exciting.
10:48.462 --> 10:53.424
[SPEAKER_01]: Casey Schmidt hurt his knee looks next to be out for the year kind of frustrating.
10:53.484 --> 10:55.785
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I'm sure it's frustrating for him for us.
10:55.845 --> 11:06.829
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like one of the things that was a positive this season was just watching him play and finally come into his own as a guy who we'd been watching for the last few years.
11:08.050 --> 11:12.531
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, you know, just that it's the where and he's never played a full
11:16.789 --> 11:27.198
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, just being a ball player and that caught up to him and hopefully next year he bounces back and this is just behind him and he can continue playing the baseball that he played this year.
11:28.159 --> 11:31.902
[SPEAKER_01]: I, you know, I know you, I know he can play second base.
11:32.963 --> 11:34.704
[SPEAKER_01]: I almost don't want him to.
11:34.844 --> 11:38.908
[SPEAKER_01]: I just would love for him to just be in, you know, this just be the third
11:45.331 --> 11:54.175
[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, that's being a utility guy and having to play left field and having to play some shortstop early in his career having to move over to second base.
11:54.815 --> 11:55.675
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot of wear and tear.
11:55.695 --> 11:56.956
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of different pivots.
11:56.996 --> 12:04.119
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of different ways that you have to go back on a ball versus just playing third base and you know, so I'm sure that's part of it.
12:04.179 --> 12:05.339
[SPEAKER_01]: But hey, he's an athlete.
12:05.460 --> 12:08.281
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a major league baseball player comes with the territory.
12:08.801 --> 12:10.842
[SPEAKER_01]: So I hope that he can come back next year.
12:10.862 --> 12:11.002
[SPEAKER_01]: But
12:12.540 --> 12:26.470
[SPEAKER_01]: And in the same healthy he was in this year, but I guess my question for you is does that affect anything as far as what they do, because he was somebody that we talked about last week, would he be on the table for, you know,
12:38.312 --> 12:39.132
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think so.
12:39.152 --> 12:42.414
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly, I mean, we've seen his name thrown around there.
12:42.994 --> 12:52.418
[SPEAKER_00]: I honestly don't think he was part of getting moved and throwing out a San Francisco because we have too many veterans making too much money.
12:53.918 --> 12:55.579
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got three years of control.
12:55.599 --> 12:57.840
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still a piece of this team.
12:58.200 --> 13:01.221
[SPEAKER_00]: I was reading something I don't know how accurate this is.
13:02.782 --> 13:18.470
[SPEAKER_00]: But ESPN in their fantasy news, they said that if, you know, Casey Schmidt goes in for surgery, there's a chance it's just a minor tear and he could be back in three to six weeks.
13:19.971 --> 13:29.176
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, if it's a full tear or looking at, you know, four to six months, you know, in plenty of time for spring training and everything else and he should be ready for that.
13:32.532 --> 13:37.376
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I said, too, if they do trade Chapman and he gets a chance to play every day, third base.
13:40.233 --> 14:03.687
[SPEAKER_01]: I got I would love to see him because it's like you said to it is kind of I do say I'd like to see mid-second because you know you got him in a second shaman a third plus he can he hits for power and it's it's yeah a guy that we're gonna talk about in a little bit was the best power hitter as a middle-in filter on that side that that we saw and just made the hall of fame and we saw how valuable he was
14:04.218 --> 14:05.019
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
14:05.399 --> 14:08.301
[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to see King Casey Schmidt win a gold glove at third base.
14:08.401 --> 14:09.101
[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible.
14:09.241 --> 14:10.342
[SPEAKER_00]: It's very possible.
14:11.102 --> 14:14.465
[SPEAKER_00]: So it is kind of a waste of talent to have him at second base.
14:15.205 --> 14:19.288
[SPEAKER_00]: When you've got this guy who could really save you some runs at third base.
14:20.689 --> 14:24.991
[SPEAKER_00]: Because if you've got Casey Schmidt and you've got devours, I don't think devours is blind third base.
14:25.091 --> 14:27.213
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't think that's going to be the case.
14:27.593 --> 14:29.054
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you're going to see Schmidt over there.
14:29.094 --> 14:34.679
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe maybe the rest of the season, if Chapman gets dealt, you might see Devers at third base.
14:34.719 --> 14:38.582
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure, cost is doing a fine enough job at the base.
14:39.543 --> 14:40.583
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that big.
14:40.884 --> 14:44.647
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not that big of a liability at third base.
14:44.687 --> 14:47.009
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a, you know, he's a ball player.
14:47.029 --> 14:48.910
[SPEAKER_00]: He's an infield where he can play the position.
14:48.950 --> 14:49.771
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
14:50.091 --> 14:54.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's a little more limber and a little more quick to the ball than the endeavors is going to be.
14:54.336 --> 14:56.699
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm fine with cost over there at third base.
14:56.919 --> 14:58.080
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, rest of this season.
14:58.921 --> 14:59.442
[SPEAKER_00]: None of this.
14:59.862 --> 15:05.428
[SPEAKER_00]: It's so hard to watch sometimes, too, because you know none of this helps our draft position next year.
15:05.749 --> 15:06.530
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it doesn't matter.
15:06.990 --> 15:08.150
[SPEAKER_00]: you can't pick in the top 10.
15:08.310 --> 15:11.071
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of like, uh, this is a little bit frustrating to watch.
15:11.712 --> 15:15.573
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I think, uh, I think any moves that are going to be made.
15:15.733 --> 15:21.234
[SPEAKER_00]: Busters going to try to bleed as much talent as he can out of these trades.
15:22.055 --> 15:24.495
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so it's going to be interesting to watch.
15:24.516 --> 15:26.996
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'd love to see Casey Schmidt stay.
15:27.757 --> 15:32.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, for for the next few years until his our years are out.
15:32.238 --> 15:35.479
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, and then if he's still that guy, keep him around.
15:35.779 --> 15:39.522
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's a San Francisco giant, just watching and play in the way he plays the game.
15:39.582 --> 15:41.863
[SPEAKER_00]: It's, I'd love for him to stay for a long time.
15:44.145 --> 15:46.726
[SPEAKER_01]: Is there, do you think we're going to see any surprise?
15:46.766 --> 15:51.189
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we want to, if something, we expect things to happen.
15:51.249 --> 15:55.612
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe we'll be able to record something short this weekend, based on what happens.
15:56.253 --> 15:58.254
[SPEAKER_01]: But do you think there's going to be any surprises?
15:58.975 --> 16:00.656
[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess I would consider
16:02.356 --> 16:08.178
[SPEAKER_01]: Ramos trading, Ramos would be a little surprising to me, but it would knock my socks off.
16:08.779 --> 16:14.281
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think the three highest paid players on the team, if those guys get traded, I'd be really surprised.
16:14.641 --> 16:16.702
[SPEAKER_01]: If something like web got traded, I'd be really surprised.
16:16.742 --> 16:18.162
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't expect that to happen.
16:19.863 --> 16:23.124
[SPEAKER_01]: If Jung who got traded, I'd be pretty surprised.
16:24.265 --> 16:29.327
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you think there's gonna be any surprises come the trade deadline for giants?
16:31.542 --> 16:40.182
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think the biggest surprise would be for me, it would be jungley, just because he's got that option.
16:42.750 --> 17:04.018
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think if Ramos is traded for a couple of prospects, I'd be more surprised than if he was traded with some of our prospects to a team with a controllable starting pitcher coming back to us that another team just doesn't want to pay.
17:05.219 --> 17:08.760
[SPEAKER_00]: That would make more sense to me than trading Elliot Ramos for
17:10.265 --> 17:12.247
[SPEAKER_00]: a couple of AA prospects.
17:12.987 --> 17:13.347
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
17:13.948 --> 17:15.629
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be the hardest part for me.
17:15.649 --> 17:16.770
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be surprising.
17:16.830 --> 17:25.877
[SPEAKER_00]: But if he's part of it deal to bring in a major league picture, I'd be okay with that.
17:26.277 --> 17:27.138
[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be fine with me.
17:28.259 --> 17:28.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
17:28.459 --> 17:33.823
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it does seem like a rise, Robbie Ray.
17:35.104 --> 17:35.304
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe
17:40.786 --> 17:52.935
[SPEAKER_01]: gone, and, and, you know, Mali would be based on somebody saying, hey, we've really liked what you've done in your last three starts, um, because to season, it's been crud otherwise.
17:53.456 --> 18:01.121
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, those are the guys that seem like they're, they're done deals and I think if anyone else, other than those three guys,
18:02.242 --> 18:08.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Unless it's a bullpin arm, I'd be really surprised if it's more than that, but it could be.
18:08.727 --> 18:27.381
[SPEAKER_01]: And if your buster and teams are coming to like, hey, you know, we're willing to part with some stuff, you can kind of play that bell the ball a little bit like, oh, you want our guys, well, guess what, you know, yesterday's paraphrase or actually to to quote,
18:28.585 --> 18:32.288
[SPEAKER_01]: fat Joe yesterday's price is not today's price.
18:34.490 --> 18:44.218
[SPEAKER_01]: So anytime you can quote fat, but I guess just the idea that Buster could actually maybe make up.
18:46.497 --> 18:49.818
[SPEAKER_01]: to the Giants fans who are just like, dude, you've been killing us with these moves.
18:49.978 --> 18:53.340
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, he could make up for that by making some smart moves.
18:53.620 --> 18:56.041
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe maybe taking advantage of some desperate teams.
18:56.061 --> 18:56.781
[SPEAKER_01]: That would be interesting.
18:56.841 --> 18:57.842
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah.
18:57.922 --> 19:03.224
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, if we're almost like a young who actually do move, I think I would be really surprised.
19:03.284 --> 19:09.027
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, we had this conversation last week, Schmidt versus Robo's, who would we rather have go?
19:11.648 --> 19:12.088
[SPEAKER_01]: I think,
19:13.680 --> 19:17.762
[SPEAKER_01]: who who Elliot Ramos becomes in like three or four years.
19:18.943 --> 19:20.024
[SPEAKER_01]: He's probably a DH.
19:21.325 --> 19:23.546
[SPEAKER_01]: He's probably a right-handed DH now.
19:24.767 --> 19:27.888
[SPEAKER_01]: He might be a guy who hits 30 jacks at that point.
19:28.089 --> 19:31.391
[SPEAKER_01]: He's been to his body there a little bit because he's still a young man.
19:32.511 --> 19:34.673
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think he's a DH and the giants.
19:35.722 --> 19:37.243
[SPEAKER_01]: already have a few of those guys.
19:37.623 --> 19:45.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So if the idea is like, hey, you know, we can get something for Ramos and we have guys coming through the pipeline who will be able to replace that position.
19:46.409 --> 19:57.235
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't as long as, like you said, as long as the trade is forward thinking and maybe you get some help for the big league team and some help for the minor league system.
19:57.255 --> 19:58.456
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'd be okay with that.
19:58.476 --> 20:04.360
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, you know, that it's going to be a fascinating next several days for the giants, I think.
20:05.121 --> 20:05.782
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for sure.
20:05.822 --> 20:15.249
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to keep my eye on on on blue sky and everywhere else that I can just to see like, okay, what's what are the rumors now?
20:15.329 --> 20:16.210
[SPEAKER_00]: What's happening?
20:16.250 --> 20:17.291
[SPEAKER_00]: What's going on?
20:18.432 --> 20:24.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I go on there now and I see Jackson Flora, you know, hanging out at at Oracle today, which was kind of fun.
20:24.837 --> 20:26.838
[SPEAKER_01]: See what would they see what will he had out of us told them.
20:27.499 --> 20:27.719
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
20:28.230 --> 20:39.496
[SPEAKER_00]: He's a, hey, can you pitch tomorrow and Matt Malley probably sign I didn't well, you know, he's pitching tomorrow.
20:39.516 --> 20:41.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I think is Robby Ray okay.
20:41.577 --> 20:42.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
20:42.878 --> 20:43.538
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
20:43.618 --> 20:47.440
[SPEAKER_01]: Robby Ray is, uh, you know, he's kind of like the, uh,
20:48.769 --> 20:54.594
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he should probably do his hair up, you know, maybe maybe get the you need looking perfect.
20:54.654 --> 20:57.196
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe get the pants a little tighter than then they are.
20:57.857 --> 20:59.118
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got to showcase that man.
20:59.638 --> 21:00.599
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right, man.
21:00.839 --> 21:02.180
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and don't get hurt.
21:02.360 --> 21:02.981
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the thing.
21:03.001 --> 21:03.381
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't get hurt.
21:03.721 --> 21:04.862
[SPEAKER_01]: He's one of those guys.
21:05.863 --> 21:13.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he came to the giants in, you know, I wouldn't say that the last two years were dark years, but they were 500 years.
21:14.070 --> 21:14.991
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a dark year.
21:15.987 --> 21:31.173
[SPEAKER_01]: But I wish he was with the team when we were better because he would be a fan to, he's already a good giant, but he would be kind of the upper echelon of those fantastic giants if he was just on a winning team and he was pitching in the postseason.
21:31.193 --> 21:32.313
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that would have been fun to see.
21:32.624 --> 21:34.525
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he would have been a Jason Schmidt right.
21:34.885 --> 21:52.553
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's kind of a good comparison that he would have been a Jason Schmidt type of guy where it was like solid strike out pitcher deals And fun to watch in the playoffs because yeah, I mean, you go into the playoffs with Logan Webb and Robbie Ray and
21:53.333 --> 22:05.945
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, whoever else at that point right now, no money, but, you know, those two guys and and and you got a chance in short series of four out of seven little bit tougher, but but still they give you a chance to get to the second round.
22:07.407 --> 22:10.390
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, Jeff Kent Hallfamor.
22:11.070 --> 22:17.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he went in with Andrew Jones and Carlos Beltron and you know,
22:18.099 --> 22:18.959
[SPEAKER_01]: MLB the show.
22:19.960 --> 22:22.741
[SPEAKER_01]: So they do the Hall of Fame series and they have Andrew Jones.
22:23.281 --> 22:29.143
[SPEAKER_01]: They have Carlos Beltron or as a Joe Miller or John Miller, you just call him Carlos Beltron.
22:30.704 --> 22:32.985
[SPEAKER_01]: No Jeff Kent card in the show.
22:33.045 --> 22:34.945
[SPEAKER_01]: They must not have licensed him this year.
22:34.985 --> 22:36.766
[SPEAKER_01]: I was kind of a nice one man.
22:36.786 --> 22:38.667
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to see the Jeff Kent Giants card.
22:39.247 --> 22:44.048
[SPEAKER_01]: But I only saw, I saw him when he was on Tom Tolberg's show.
22:44.068 --> 22:45.588
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got to see some of his stuff.
22:45.608 --> 22:48.089
[SPEAKER_01]: But how was, how did you watch any of that stuff?
22:49.009 --> 22:49.949
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I did not.
22:49.969 --> 23:07.593
[SPEAKER_00]: I was going to, I didn't get around to it this week, but I saw some clips here in there and he was talking about how he loved San Francisco and, you know, love that Sabine was able to bring in players to, you know, surround Barry Bonds and give them all a chance to, you know, get to the playoffs and be a playoff team.
23:09.133 --> 23:12.856
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, because he came in and giants went to the playoffs.
23:12.876 --> 23:16.398
[SPEAKER_00]: I think three of the years, three or four of the years that he was there.
23:17.499 --> 23:22.662
[SPEAKER_00]: So they always had a fighting chance, but he's very grateful for San Francisco in his time there.
23:22.762 --> 23:25.404
[SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, those were his best years.
23:25.845 --> 23:28.126
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he had some good years with the Dodgers.
23:28.166 --> 23:31.849
[SPEAKER_00]: He had some, you know, good years in, let's see where else.
23:31.989 --> 23:33.910
[SPEAKER_00]: Cleveland, Houston.
23:34.310 --> 23:38.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so, but San Francisco is kind of what made him, you know,
23:38.333 --> 23:52.067
[SPEAKER_00]: hitting near Barry bonds is gonna help you yeah and uh there was some crazy stat that um i think a hundred and one of the runs that he drove in were uh Barry bonds
23:54.385 --> 24:02.074
[SPEAKER_00]: So 100 RBI of his career stats can be contributed to Barry Bond's probably walking or hitting a single in front of them.
24:02.274 --> 24:07.239
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they flip flopped them because then bonds will see that behind Kent at certain times.
24:07.660 --> 24:09.582
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I think it would have been way more probably.
24:09.602 --> 24:11.984
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what some fake nuts.
24:12.845 --> 24:24.230
[SPEAKER_01]: Hardcore Giants fans know this, but you know, maybe maybe maybe some newer fans don't know this, but he was a part of maybe the most One of the most unpopular trades in giant history.
24:24.710 --> 24:30.873
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, because they traded Matt Williams to the Cleveland team and they brought back
24:31.333 --> 24:37.139
[SPEAKER_01]: Jeff Kent in Hullion to Varaz and that was one of the most unpopular trades.
24:37.880 --> 24:41.324
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember because you know, I was a big came be our guy when I was a little kid.
24:41.985 --> 24:45.128
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess I was I wasn't a little kid at this point.
24:45.168 --> 24:47.411
[SPEAKER_01]: I was already in in my 20s, but
24:48.091 --> 24:52.895
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the idea of Matt Williams being traded was kind of crazy, right?
24:52.915 --> 24:54.837
[SPEAKER_01]: You're like, yeah, how is this possible?
24:54.857 --> 25:02.924
[SPEAKER_01]: You brought this guy up as a, as a rookie and, you know, he went to Reno and he's kind of, you know, Reno's close enough to the bay area.
25:02.944 --> 25:08.728
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's our guy and they trade him and they bring in Kent and you're not sure.
25:09.309 --> 25:11.290
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if Kent is going to produce.
25:12.628 --> 25:25.671
[SPEAKER_01]: necessarily like he's a middle infielders not the greatest middle infielder and all of a sudden can't goes off and just has like some tremendous years with beats out Barry Barnes for an MVP award
25:26.570 --> 25:34.855
[SPEAKER_01]: which is kind of insane when you think about the year that he the year that he did it in the time frame of when Barry was just going crazy.
25:35.555 --> 25:46.502
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, Jeff Kent was never one of my favorite guys, like I would never put him on that echelon of like the Mount Rushmore of my favorite giants ever, but agree which is weird.
25:46.522 --> 25:46.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:47.423 --> 25:50.685
[SPEAKER_01]: But in that same time frame, like,
25:51.618 --> 26:18.376
[SPEAKER_01]: him and Barry together and you could throw, you know, Ellis Berks in there, who, whomever you want to throw in as far as like the next guy Andres Galaraga was here for a little bit like you're like, okay, like he, he was, you know, he was the guy who, if you couldn't have Barry up, you're like, okay, like we're fine with Jeff coming up because he's almost, you know, he's almost as reliable as Barry was.
26:19.014 --> 26:27.521
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was amazing because I was looking at the stats and I remember when he got traded, you know, because we had Baseball cards at that time to look at stats.
26:28.362 --> 26:34.427
[SPEAKER_00]: We can go to the interwebs and look up this stuff on baseball reference, but I can do that now, but at the time he was traded.
26:36.089 --> 26:40.573
[SPEAKER_00]: He was a 20 home run guy, you know, 20 home runs to 70 to 80 hitter.
26:41.413 --> 26:42.875
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're getting this guy back.
26:43.672 --> 26:44.353
[SPEAKER_00]: Like what?
26:44.573 --> 26:44.893
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
26:45.634 --> 26:46.795
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're losing Matt Williams.
26:47.456 --> 26:47.877
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
26:47.937 --> 26:49.558
[SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of weird.
26:51.621 --> 27:03.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the year he came to us, he'd had 27 home runs between the mats and Cleveland.
27:05.500 --> 27:10.742
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the year we got him in 97, he hit 29 homerons and they just kept going from there.
27:11.242 --> 27:12.202
[SPEAKER_00]: And was ballooning.
27:12.422 --> 27:13.202
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it was crazy.
27:13.242 --> 27:18.183
[SPEAKER_00]: And that MVP year was the first year that Oracle is open.
27:18.464 --> 27:19.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
27:19.644 --> 27:21.524
[SPEAKER_00]: And he hit 334 with 33 homerons in Oracle.
27:24.348 --> 27:32.095
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember when you have an Elster hit three jacks on open day and everybody thought it was going to be a lively ballpark.
27:32.175 --> 27:36.639
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, some certain days certain days.
27:36.719 --> 27:42.283
[SPEAKER_01]: What is that say though, is that say something about the ball to say something about the players like how can you have?
27:43.084 --> 27:44.446
[SPEAKER_01]: can't in bonds.
27:45.046 --> 27:48.330
[SPEAKER_01]: And then maybe, you know, you talk about rich really, you can talk about elispercs.
27:48.851 --> 27:52.655
[SPEAKER_01]: Like those guys had such great power numbers at Oracle.
27:52.835 --> 27:55.018
[SPEAKER_01]: And yet today, like nobody wants to play here.
27:55.038 --> 27:55.859
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's just a different era.
27:55.879 --> 28:01.085
[SPEAKER_00]: I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
28:01.972 --> 28:02.372
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
28:02.392 --> 28:03.873
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't have an answer.
28:03.893 --> 28:06.575
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think the ball players are a little bit different nowadays.
28:06.595 --> 28:08.116
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many analytics.
28:08.136 --> 28:11.418
[SPEAKER_00]: There's so many things telling you about long-changle and your house.
28:11.438 --> 28:12.879
[SPEAKER_00]: And you just had home run hitters.
28:12.899 --> 28:13.539
[SPEAKER_00]: You had guys.
28:14.200 --> 28:18.743
[SPEAKER_00]: And you also had pitchers, not throwing 102 miles an hour.
28:18.803 --> 28:19.343
[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
28:19.403 --> 28:19.863
[SPEAKER_00]: That's a thing.
28:19.903 --> 28:21.564
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you had it.
28:21.865 --> 28:25.187
[SPEAKER_00]: If a guy was throwing 95, you're like, oh, I guys got gas.
28:25.447 --> 28:25.667
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
28:25.907 --> 28:34.215
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, back then, but now you've got a guy throwing 101, 102, so it's a little bit harder to pot the ball out of the ballpark.
28:34.635 --> 28:36.997
[SPEAKER_00]: Sliders were the thing, man.
28:37.017 --> 28:40.420
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you hung a slider, it's getting hit out of the ballpark.
28:40.460 --> 28:41.381
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't matter who it is.
28:41.421 --> 28:43.063
[SPEAKER_00]: Kevin Elster is going to hit three home runs.
28:43.103 --> 28:48.628
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, yeah, I think that's probably the difference is the pitching because again, analytics,
28:50.213 --> 28:56.715
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, all the stats, everything else that shows the spin rate and how you can get a little bit more extra on your fastball.
28:56.735 --> 28:57.996
[SPEAKER_00]: I really didn't have that back then.
28:59.376 --> 28:59.716
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
28:59.796 --> 29:14.261
[SPEAKER_01]: So the lat, you know, well, like I said, we're, I think we are going to try and come back, at least to do something this weekend, based on the trades that we expect to happen and if no trades happen, then there's really no reason, but we expect to happen.
29:14.621 --> 29:16.042
[SPEAKER_01]: If no trades happen.
29:17.125 --> 29:18.226
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure what to think.
29:18.246 --> 29:19.747
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.
29:19.847 --> 29:20.887
[SPEAKER_01]: I can just tell you that.
29:21.247 --> 29:23.068
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'm going to have a thought.
29:23.329 --> 29:23.709
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
29:24.209 --> 29:26.130
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't make a single trade.
29:26.190 --> 29:26.830
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah.
29:27.591 --> 29:32.454
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll have this show, you know, this show will be a little shorter than normal.
29:32.494 --> 29:37.617
[SPEAKER_01]: But let's talk about something that is unrelated to this big league team.
29:38.597 --> 29:42.459
[SPEAKER_01]: But very exciting at the same time.
29:42.539 --> 29:43.100
[SPEAKER_01]: And that is.
29:44.335 --> 29:48.277
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Swar Gonzalez and Luis Hernandez.
29:48.337 --> 29:53.539
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to, like, I've got baby Lou as a little nick name for Luis, I don't know.
29:53.939 --> 29:57.521
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Joe Swar in of itself is just like a cool name.
29:57.541 --> 29:59.822
[SPEAKER_01]: So you probably don't give Joe Swar a nick name.
29:59.842 --> 30:01.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Just call him Joe Swar.
30:01.462 --> 30:02.123
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
30:02.223 --> 30:07.525
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he'll probably pronounce it differently in the way like, oh, man, I like it better at Joe Swar.
30:08.305 --> 30:10.887
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's probably going to come in and be like, it's Joshua.
30:12.387 --> 30:37.340
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's not, but those guys were sent to the San Jose Giants, the low abal team, a team that you used to broadcast for back in the day, a team that I have been going to San Jose, I mean, you probably been going to, but I was going to San Jose Giants games before they were even the San Jose Giants when they were raised.
30:37.800 --> 31:00.148
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... went and plenty of those games and so you know this really cool and you know talk to my kids about you know we need to go see these guys and and Brian said well maybe let's wait to see when flora pitches if he's going to pitch in sandals a i think some some people think he's going to you know have a few starts in sandals a and let's look at that makes sense but man
31:00.992 --> 31:05.916
[SPEAKER_01]: These, Luis Hernandez hit like a 400 and some on foot bomb the other day.
31:05.936 --> 31:09.799
[SPEAKER_01]: This dude is 17 years old, like, what's going on?
31:09.879 --> 31:16.724
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, can we just like fast forward like two years and have them come up as a teenager on the big league team?
31:16.784 --> 31:19.486
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, gosh, I'm so excited for these guys.
31:20.147 --> 31:21.528
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's pretty insane.
31:21.568 --> 31:22.909
[SPEAKER_00]: He's, what is he?
31:22.969 --> 31:25.251
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at Joshua, Joshua.
31:25.271 --> 31:26.952
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
31:27.112 --> 31:28.934
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, we'll come, Joe Swar.
31:30.795 --> 31:32.337
[SPEAKER_00]: He is hitting 200.
31:32.417 --> 31:34.779
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got five at bat so far.
31:35.259 --> 31:37.061
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got hurt in that first game.
31:37.081 --> 31:38.422
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they're being pretty careful.
31:38.502 --> 31:40.244
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, a cramp.
31:40.364 --> 31:42.546
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Luis Hernandez hitting just 182.
31:42.586 --> 31:43.667
[SPEAKER_00]: But he's got that bomb.
31:43.707 --> 31:44.728
[SPEAKER_00]: Show's the power.
31:45.148 --> 31:47.730
[SPEAKER_01]: Made that glorious replay at third base.
31:48.491 --> 31:50.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and he's walked three times.
31:50.292 --> 31:51.233
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got a good eye.
31:51.273 --> 31:52.434
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's working on all that.
31:52.874 --> 31:56.397
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, this is a this is a fantastic taste for these guys.
31:56.877 --> 31:58.038
[SPEAKER_00]: I know everybody's excited.
31:58.098 --> 31:59.239
[SPEAKER_00]: And let's get these guys up.
31:59.299 --> 32:00.260
[SPEAKER_00]: It's good.
32:00.280 --> 32:02.281
[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to finish the season in San Jose.
32:02.301 --> 32:04.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't imagine they're going to finish the season anywhere else.
32:04.703 --> 32:06.945
[SPEAKER_00]: So they're I don't think they're going to end up in Eugene.
32:06.965 --> 32:09.927
[SPEAKER_01]: They may have been start the season next year in San Jose.
32:10.427 --> 32:17.054
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's very possible, and then after a month or so, to kind of see how things are gone, maybe they've worked their way up to Eugene.
32:17.074 --> 32:21.158
[SPEAKER_00]: So, those days, a nice ballpark to hit in the summer.
32:22.579 --> 32:25.482
[SPEAKER_00]: I remember when I was broadcasting, there were a lot of home runs.
32:25.522 --> 32:27.724
[SPEAKER_00]: So, that was a nice ballpark to hit in.
32:29.126 --> 32:30.967
[SPEAKER_00]: Eugene, the beginning,
32:31.748 --> 32:34.049
[SPEAKER_00]: of the baseball season in Eugene, Oregon.
32:34.590 --> 32:36.031
[SPEAKER_00]: The ball does not fly.
32:36.491 --> 32:37.171
[SPEAKER_00]: It's cold.
32:37.552 --> 32:38.172
[SPEAKER_00]: It's wet.
32:38.452 --> 32:40.914
[SPEAKER_00]: It's really hard to kind of get things going.
32:42.194 --> 32:49.919
[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe that's one of those things where, hey, let's wait until June and then get those guys over to Eugene.
32:50.620 --> 32:51.640
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, it's excited.
32:51.720 --> 32:53.201
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's very exciting.
32:53.261 --> 32:54.262
[SPEAKER_00]: The future looks bright.
32:54.742 --> 32:56.843
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think with this trade deadline, the giants are just
32:57.964 --> 33:05.046
[SPEAKER_00]: more bodies to that list of top prospects.
33:05.106 --> 33:12.108
[SPEAKER_00]: If they can get anybody that cracks their top 10 in any of these trades, I'll be super excited.
33:12.648 --> 33:17.490
[SPEAKER_00]: I think anybody would be so that's kind of something to look forward to.
33:17.530 --> 33:20.050
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, seeing those guys in San Jose and then you being right there.
33:20.070 --> 33:20.790
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's awesome.
33:20.810 --> 33:25.332
[SPEAKER_00]: You guys tell the boys, you're not going to wait until Jackson
33:26.692 --> 33:27.613
[SPEAKER_00]: The tickets are cheap.
33:27.633 --> 33:29.974
[SPEAKER_00]: Just go scouting and then they got good barbecue.
33:30.714 --> 33:36.497
[SPEAKER_01]: It sounds like they got a good crowd too for the debut game of those guys.
33:37.558 --> 33:49.184
[SPEAKER_01]: And Johnny level, they sent him up to Eugene and he's sitting jacks up there so, you don't want to jinx it, but these guys do look like the real deal, especially early on in their careers.
33:49.624 --> 33:54.726
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the interesting thing is, you know, you have Dakota Jordan Park's harbour
33:56.227 --> 34:05.733
[SPEAKER_01]: they're older and they may be a little bit more ready to play in the big leagues, but they're also not the like the typical top prospects.
34:05.753 --> 34:11.737
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of what that's why waiting is so hard is because you're waiting for these guys like man.
34:12.419 --> 34:17.901
[SPEAKER_01]: These are three of our best prospects and they're in high A and low A.
34:18.021 --> 34:21.043
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you got for a coming in who hasn't even pitched yet.
34:21.863 --> 34:29.346
[SPEAKER_01]: So you've got to be patient with these guys, but I think it would be pretty incredible if Hernandez was like a...
34:30.188 --> 34:33.450
[SPEAKER_01]: a teenager, you know, to make the big leagues like that would be amazing.
34:33.590 --> 34:35.452
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not that I'm not that we need to push him.
34:35.592 --> 34:41.375
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, graffiti junior and Bryce Harper and guys like that who made the bigs as teenager.
34:41.395 --> 34:43.097
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really, it's a cool thing to have.
34:43.597 --> 34:44.197
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, for sure.
34:44.417 --> 34:44.658
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
34:45.638 --> 34:46.379
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, all right.
34:46.479 --> 34:47.460
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.
34:47.480 --> 35:03.619
[SPEAKER_01]: So like I said, we will, uh, we're going to try and come back at the end of this week and maybe do a little bit on the the trade deadline will end this one a little early because our allies are on this deadline, uh, giants had a good series.
35:03.639 --> 35:04.399
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't want to.
35:05.537 --> 35:07.057
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, you don't want to overlook that.
35:07.097 --> 35:10.558
[SPEAKER_01]: Like when they actually play a good baseball, you say, hey, you played a good baseball.
35:10.578 --> 35:11.678
[SPEAKER_01]: Like things came together.
35:12.198 --> 35:18.200
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't want to underestimate like this season, but still we're kind of looking towards what's happening.
35:18.240 --> 35:22.901
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really what more more what we're interested in than just day to day baseball games.
35:22.941 --> 35:23.761
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
35:23.781 --> 35:23.921
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
35:24.541 --> 35:24.881
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
35:24.981 --> 35:28.222
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's it from here.
35:28.242 --> 35:33.463
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say for the 49ers podcast, we want winners.
35:34.562 --> 35:43.606
[SPEAKER_01]: Rod has been he had a surgical procedure and I'll let him talk about that as to why we haven't really done anything, but I think he's kind of ready to come back.
35:43.646 --> 35:47.988
[SPEAKER_01]: So we may record something this weekend, maybe push it out a little bit.
35:54.756 --> 36:20.692
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... we're doing two episodes a week at this point and i think we're going to launch a separate feed for pod hall so just if you are interested in the valkyrie stuff just kind of stay tuned on that uh... but uh... yet things are kind of moving shake in here at at at be a piece of so uh... things are uh... i'm actually kind of looking at the challenges in doing some things as kind of a fun fun part of of
36:21.452 --> 36:24.014
[SPEAKER_01]: essentially creating and running a podcast network.
36:24.054 --> 36:27.116
[SPEAKER_01]: So, but this is the OG podcast of this podcast.
36:27.416 --> 36:28.917
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we can't believe it.
36:29.658 --> 36:33.400
[SPEAKER_00]: We were, we were running during the pandemic there.
36:34.141 --> 36:38.364
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we started during the pandemic and then they were, and then there was a fall start.
36:39.625 --> 36:41.366
[SPEAKER_00]: Because we were thought, oh, they're going to get started.
36:41.406 --> 36:42.307
[SPEAKER_00]: So we came on and
36:43.467 --> 37:03.363
[SPEAKER_00]: they did not get started and we were running a well out-of-the-park baseball simulations have been the best I got to go back and look at that because I got to look at my notes and see who ended up winning that I want to say it was the 93 I'm pretty sure it was the 93 Giants who ended up winning that tournament
37:03.383 --> 37:10.551
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you don't know, back six years ago, when we first started this, we did a, we did an out of the park simulation.
37:11.392 --> 37:14.516
[SPEAKER_00]: If you're familiar with that game, it's a great baseball simulation game.
37:14.876 --> 37:20.202
[SPEAKER_00]: But we took the best Giants teams of all time and pitted them all against each other.
37:20.222 --> 37:22.705
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm from what I remember the 1993 Giants won the whole.
37:24.148 --> 37:26.070
[SPEAKER_00]: See if they would have just gotten in the playoffs.
37:26.090 --> 37:26.870
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
37:27.210 --> 37:29.612
[SPEAKER_00]: The Stinking Rockies would have done something.
37:30.353 --> 37:31.694
[SPEAKER_00]: We could have gotten in the playoffs.
37:31.714 --> 37:34.076
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it would have been a Solomon Torres.
37:34.236 --> 37:35.977
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, of course, Solomon.
37:36.358 --> 37:36.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
37:37.098 --> 37:39.380
[SPEAKER_00]: I keep blaming the Rockies, but it was Solomon Torres.
37:39.560 --> 37:43.123
[SPEAKER_01]: William, William Ben launching pad has grew up all good.
37:44.433 --> 37:48.976
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how the pitching went and done in the playoffs after watching those last, like, couple weeks of the season.
37:48.996 --> 37:50.217
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
37:50.317 --> 37:54.299
[SPEAKER_00]: That was an offensive team that scored when it wanted to score.
37:54.379 --> 37:59.162
[SPEAKER_01]: So, all right, we're done here, but we'll be back, like I said, hopefully this weekend.
37:59.262 --> 38:02.624
[SPEAKER_01]: And if nothing happens, and we'll just be back next week, but we think something's gonna happen.
38:02.685 --> 38:03.805
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's something we'll happen.
38:04.125 --> 38:05.046
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, stay tuned.
38:05.947 --> 38:08.188
[SPEAKER_01]: That is it for Brad, I am WG.
38:08.228 --> 38:11.230
[SPEAKER_01]: We will see when we see you piece out, piece.
