00:00i am surprised that you trade devers and play better and score more runs i am surprised that
00:10you get through the deadline where you don't do much and you continue to play well and are
00:13solidly in the playoffs and then don't make the playoffs that would surprise me yep yep they they
00:19made themselves worse on made themselves worse on paper with devers but somehow got better on the
00:24field they had another lame-ass deadline but continued to win and be firmly in the playoffs
00:28and now with three weeks to go they're going to gag on it then i go back and blame the deadline
00:33well that's kind of silly so chris the other thing with bayo silly but the other thing with bayo is
00:38bayo's been in the big leagues now for four years losing to better teams i blame the deadline losing
00:43to the a's and the diamondbacks and some of these teams i i don't blame the deadline they have enough
00:46to beat those teams sorry no that's okay no no they don't no no hold on they don't have enough
00:50to beat those teams but you have a narrow margin for error based on the way you built the roster
00:55and then you get injuries if you take out a bray who's arguably your team mvp and roman anthony
01:00who's a top three batter if you take those guys out no you don't have enough look at the lineup
01:05that they're running out there i mean you've been fortunate that romey gonzalez has been this good for
01:10this long but like nate eaton some of these other guys you have like a triple a caliber lineup you're
01:15running out there after like the first three guys i i i completely disagree with the idea that you
01:21quote unquote have enough without some of your best players out there you don't that's all the
01:26more reason you should have done more at the deadline just because you didn't do those things
01:30at the devers trade and at the deadline and you got away with them doesn't mean like felger you sound
01:36like the people that talk about 2014 with logan mankins and are like well you know they won they
01:40won the super bowl you know those first four weeks where they couldn't block a paper bag
01:44didn't matter at all but you know what if they hadn't traded logan mankins they wouldn't have won
01:48the super bowl it was because they traded him and they had those first four weeks where they
01:53couldn't block a paper bag that they actually won sometimes you win in spite of what you've done
01:57not because of it yeah they've lost two or three to pittsburgh the diamondbacks and the a's all of
02:03whom have losing records if i tallied up their records it'd be the bottom of the league they have
02:09enough talent to beat those teams the team's gag the orioles the orioles have a losing record but
02:13they've been playing better of late i mean sometimes it's when you catch a team i'm not totally excusing
02:17the losses i'm just saying i don't understand how you can't look at it and say going back like oh man
02:22you know that that opportunity to buttress your team and make your team better and make sure you
02:28have enough to the finish line you know it's like having a car like the car's going along great and
02:33you're looking at it and you're saying i probably should get some gas but you know what i think i can
02:37make it and then you don't get you don't put any gas in the car and then you say oh geez the car broke
02:41down and the car's fault the car should that was smooth road the car should have been great on
02:45smooth road well you didn't put enough gas in it to get to the finish line like that's your fault
02:50that's not the car's fault i'm not big i'm making excuses for players and managers who are underperforming
02:56you
03:01you
03:03you
