00:00teams and a pretty successful results I'll say when I heard that they were doing an elephant
00:05celebration self he'd be fun to play for fun to be around you can tell these guys want to play
00:10hard
00:10for him and I'm sitting there they come in the start of their season they've had a tough start
00:16with the elephant mask do you think Mark Kotze is like opening up a safari adventure through
00:22New York I'm like well that's that's par for the course right that's every day in New York coming
00:28to light JPM Rossi on the inside corner and we know Dave Roberts he's always calm and composed
00:33and when it comes to Edwin Diaz he was asked about good morning by the way the dip in velocity
00:37and he
00:38used the words treading lightly what does that mean good Monday morning to you Lauren good morning a
00:43really important story written at MLB.com on my fastball we will see what's to come of it we're
00:47already talking about the standings when it comes to the Dodgers because they have separated themselves
00:51what April I saw Fernando Tatis playing second over the weekend and I thought what the heck is going
00:57on but to be fair when he moved to the outfield we had the same conversation on the show maybe
01:01he
01:01can do it all how often will we see him there JP he can do it all Lauren Tatis doing
01:07his best Mark
01:08DeRosa impersonation of being able to play most interview tattoos there are so many personalities
01:13in that clubhouse my goodness JP our hearts are heavy this week as we learn of the passing of Phil
01:18Garner who's playing and managing career spanned five decades my goodness I cannot tell you how many times
01:24the dedications on Twitter and Instagram of how he affected people's lives how did he affect yours
01:31well Lauren he is certainly a great well I'm beautifully said by you it's everything good about a human
01:35that was on that quote board right there Phil Garner's family is on our hearts JP Marossi thank you so
01:41much for those kind words a beautiful legacy left behind welcome to take things so I'm
01:46feeling some she came with it right yeah I want to come with it I've got some hot topics by
01:51the
01:51way I I don't ask for them okay there's some I'm beyond some days like on a war and jazz
01:57are
01:57giving us stuff to talk about okay, but the Lindor stuff is funky for me all made mistakes I've made
02:03mistakes but he's making them like consistently what they always say we can handle a visitor yeah
02:11talking to the media it's not energetic and we all know New York it's just kind of that many
02:16times something's off yeah right that's that's what you and I kind of think of like you hope he's
02:22okay because I'm so because we don't know and there's a severe there and Mister smile for over
02:28162 every single player you know like scorebook every since you have to be and then and then
02:33honestly wherever they're trying to accomplish okay don't want that in the locker room you don't
02:39want clicks you don't want separate now you don't want that the double play with the five-man infield
02:43and then the Drew Rasmussen stealing a sign that I think I have myself and Haas have a couple thoughts
02:49on manager infield coach you need to be prepared to know that your players know the rules and know what
02:54to do that's what it does that's it's a perfect point that's what it does it
02:57it makes Boone have to answer and then you know we saw Boone has to answer a ton of questions
03:03and
03:04apologized to Jazz I basically saying I need to be better you're trying to pick up a thing that I
03:10don't necessarily agree with but that's where it's gotten that's where it's gotten it used to be do it
03:15discreetly now it's like hey don't even worry about it we had a great pitching matchup uh in Detroit
03:21one of the best of the year you know over the weekend Sandy Alcott Sandy as well he threw a
03:27bullpen
03:27in talking stick during the bus getting ready to had it looked and was like what the heck and
03:33is the most accomplished postseason pitcher in the history it was 98 wherever he wanted
03:38it was awesome and the way the fastball moves you can throw it straight these guys can yeah
03:42then you can pull the change above that and it's only been that two-pitch mix now he's got the
03:46cutter to go with it a big and to think Bobby Witt still does not have a home run he
03:51hasn't gotten
03:51going but Mikel Garcia that the young core like Caglione's eventually going to figure
03:56this out absolutely Carter Jensen they got there's a lot to like they got a nation what
04:01Cologne to Sal Perez where we've been all of them trying to figure this out for a decade early on
04:06it was a big DVR what happened D-Rowe is they play glove flip if you notice the guys bouncing
04:11back and
04:11forth the catcher's going to signal to the pitcher just hold the ball and I'll be your eyes so when
04:15they've lost seven in a row the Astros there's injuries up and down the rotation including
04:20Jeremy Pena in the lineup so Astros just got swept over the weekend in Seattle
