00:00How can you not be romantic about back-to-back, big-time offensive performances?
00:05That's what's happened. That's what happened.
00:08You get a late-game surge. You get a three-run homer.
00:11Oppo, Oppo Taco from Berger.
00:14Getting it up there. The jet stream. The jet stream's back, Sean.
00:17Yeah, open the roof two days in a row.
00:20The ball flies, flies out to right field.
00:23That was a weird home run.
00:24Very weird.
00:25Like an inside-out swing.
00:26The ball just curving right.
00:28But, as Dave Raymond said, that's the difference with a roof open right down that right field line.
00:33You're going to be able to find that, so maybe we should have it open more.
00:37Hear that, Sean?
00:38Day after, you've already been sucked back into more stadium talk.
00:42Right back in, baby. Right back in.
00:44You're an enabler.
00:45That's what you are. You're an excuse-making enabler.
00:49Very soft, Aaron.
00:50I already had a Tolo DM me last night to say, here we go.
00:53Here we go with the choppy.
00:55Another open roof topic.
00:56Open roof, baby. Let's go.
00:58Another open roof oppo home run.
01:02Keep reading those CY memos.
01:03That's right.
01:04Rangers win 6-5.
01:05They were up.
01:06They were up 3-2.
01:08What are the Rangers, like, fired the roof operator instead of, like, any decision maker?
01:13They fired the roof operator.
01:14You've made the wrong decision.
01:16You cost us our offense.
01:17The roof opener was the scapegoat?
01:19Yeah, that is a move Bobby that he would make, no doubt.
01:23Yeah, so they're up 3-2 going to the ninth.
01:26They allow a three spot.
01:27It's a 5-3 deficit going to the bottom of the ninth.
01:30And here they come.
01:31And they get a couple of guys on.
01:33And all of a sudden, you get a tie game.
01:35And then you get the victory.
01:38This is after Jacob Latz, who had been really, really solid.
01:41Really, really solid for them.
01:43He pitched two wins on Sunday.
01:45Had to come in on Tuesday night in a 7-1 game.
01:50And then he comes out there last night, and he had nothing.
01:53He had a big bag of nothing on his pitches.
01:56Props to Josh Young.
01:58Props to Zeke.
02:00Berger Clutch.
02:01Berger, obviously, earlier in the game as well.
02:06And this is the walk-off win of the year.
02:09And you win the series.
02:10You can start off saying, all right, look at the schedule.
02:13I know you had talked about the easy schedule strength earlier in the show.
02:16I saw Pat Doney post.
02:17They have the easiest schedule remaining the rest of the way,
02:19which would not surprise me.
02:21But you win the series against Arizona,
02:23and you get this struggling armpit after this.
02:25So let's go.
02:26Did Banny ever call back?
02:28I almost tweeted and tagged him after the walk-off.
02:31This is what Banny gets for not picking up or calling back.
02:34But Pepe, you never heard anything?
02:36Nothing back.
02:36Nope.
02:37He's mad.
02:37I should try to get him.
02:38Yeah, I don't know.
02:39Did he get a new number?
02:40Is he mad that he saw my photos being in Colorado,
02:44and I didn't hit him up?
02:45But he didn't live in Colorado.
02:45I mean, he lives in Colorado in the offseason.
02:47I don't think that's it.
02:48That's it either.
02:49I don't know what's going on.
02:50I wish him a happy birthday.
02:52Top of the order, the first three batters in the order
02:54of the last two days are four for, what are they?
02:59They are now four for 26 in that.
03:02It's the four through nine hitters that are crushing it.
03:05They're 15 for 43 in these games.
03:07So they're hitting 350, and then the top of the order
03:11is hitting like 150.
03:120 for 12 last night, the top three in the order.
03:14And what they're going to tell themselves,
03:15because it can only be an internal pep talk,
03:18because they're probably not going to go get anyone
03:20unless they trade a big salary right arm,
03:24what they're going to tell themselves is,
03:27all right, let's get a little momentum,
03:29and we're getting Seager and Wyatt back.
03:33And they're going to go, what do you mean?
03:34Corey's been here.
03:35And then they're going to go, but we're going to get Seager
03:37and Wyatt back, because Seager is missing in action, obviously.
03:43183 last month.
03:45It's 111 right now.
03:46So that's going to be the internal pep talk.
03:48We get Wyatt, Seager gets rolling,
03:50and here we go with the easier schedule.
03:52Something's wrong.
03:53So their schedule, the stat earlier was,
03:55they've had the fifth toughest schedule to date
03:59in Major League Baseball.
04:00Now, like you said, they have the easiest the rest of the way.
04:02Corey Seager struck out and stayed in the box.
04:07And he did not know that he had struck out.
04:10He's not all there right now.
04:13Maybe he misses Marcus.
04:14Maybe.
04:15That could be it.
04:16If you combine their batting averages, I don't think it matches to 300.
04:21Really?
04:22Go look at what Simeon is right now.
04:25I don't think it's a think.
04:27I can guarantee that, because Marcus ain't hitting 290.
04:31Well.
04:31Oh, wait, 190.
04:32Yeah.
04:33So it would have to be, he'd have to hit like 220.
04:36If he's hitting 220, it'll get to 300.
04:38I don't think he is.
04:39No, because, no, they definitely are doing that,
04:42because he's hitting 219.
04:44Marcus is?
04:44Yeah.
04:45And then Seager's 179.
04:46He's not batting 79.
04:47Oh, yeah.
04:47So it's 398.
04:48You know what?
04:49That was a really bad indictment of math.
04:51Oh, yeah.
04:51By the two of us.
04:52Yeah.
04:53I guessed right, because I got a 620 math on my SATs,
04:56and I have no idea how.
04:57I went a lot of guessing right.
04:59Or I cheated.
05:00You're a big C guy.
05:01Big C guy.
05:02There we go.
05:02I got a bunch of squirrel moments happening in my mind right now.
05:07The lights.
05:08Well, it's not the lights.
05:09Well, I looked at the lights a second ago.
05:11It's not the lights.
05:12I'm more fine with these new lights in here than I thought.
05:15My problem that I am going to raise hell over, if this is the case,
05:19why are the blinds?
05:20I'm not going to sit here for the next 10 years with closed blinds.
05:25I know.
05:25I'm not looking at them.
05:26Yeah.
05:26Aiden, open them.
05:27Are these?
05:27There we go.
05:28Okay.
05:28I was like, is this going to be the case now that we don't get to see this
05:30beautiful view because of the new lights?
05:33Open them all.
05:34Why are they all closed?
05:35The AC has to run more whenever the blinds are open because of the heat.
05:38I don't care.
05:39Oh, well.
05:41It's morning hours.
05:42They can close them when K&C gets in there.
05:45Yeah.
05:45They have to be open.
05:46They have to be open.
05:47Like G-Bag, I think these guys.
05:49I mean, we need to get those other three open, too.
05:51G-Bag used to put up.
05:52Medford, can you reach that cable right there and get those things open?
05:58This is going to be the next contract dispute.
06:00It's just like, I need the blinds open.
06:03G-Bag used to, I'm blaming G-Bag for everything.
06:06They had that bat cave in here.
06:07Yeah.
06:08They got to keep it dark.
06:09We're the home of the Cowboys.
06:09No blinds.
06:10And then they used to put up the flags over these windows.
06:14Right.
06:15And then they probably wanted the outer windows drawn.
06:17At least give me a picture of the skyline in here.
06:19Yeah, that's right.
06:20Just a photo of it.
06:22Now, Sean, you said the next 10 years.
06:23Are you breaking news 10 years down the line?
06:25You know, that's a good point.
06:26My contract is up at the end of the year, so it is not a 10-year deal.
06:32So, I mean, based upon these numbers we're putting up, I could get, I should, we should,
06:36I should get, I should get a 10-year call.
06:39I will sign it.
06:39You know, it'll look good, Mr. Carl.
06:41Yeah, let's go.
06:42Absolutely.
06:42Diamond Cavs.
06:43I'm a total sweating.
06:44You're home of the Rangers.
06:46You had asked, you had asked just before the segment, how's Miz doing?
06:52Did Miz do anything special last night?
06:54Jacob Mizorowski of the Brewers.
06:57Yes, he did.
06:58Seven innings, 10 strikeouts, no walks, four hits, no earned.
07:05They somehow lose the game.
07:06The Brewers lose the game, and he actually left the game due to quad cramping.
07:12Oh.
07:13But he still had seven innings.
07:14I mean, he still was magnificent.
07:16He threw 103 on his 93rd pitch.
07:21He retired the final 14-y face.
07:23He finished with fastballs of 102, 102, 103.
07:26In the month of May, he has started on May 1st, May 8th, and May 13th.
07:31He has allowed zero runs, and he has struck out 29 in 18 and a third innings.
07:39He has been pretty darn good here.
07:41And Skeens, right?
07:43Oh, Skeens, Skeens, Skeens.
07:45Skeens started off with a 67 ERA after the first start.
07:49His ERA this year is a 198.
07:51He hasn't walked a batter.
07:53He didn't walk a batter in a month.
07:55But he's in the decline.
07:58Because he's on SI cover?
08:00No, because what did you say his ERA is?
08:03198.
08:03198.
08:04Last year was a 197.
08:06And the year before that, it was a 196.
08:08He is on the decline.
08:09It's a stark decline.
08:12These are three of his last four starts for Skeens.
08:15Seven innings, one hit, no runs, seven strikeouts, no walks.
08:19Eight innings, two hits, no runs, seven strikeouts, no walks.
08:22Eight innings, two hits, no walks, ten strikeouts, no runs.
08:25He's untouchable.
08:27Baseball is America's pasta time.
08:33There are 27 teams.
08:36Try the veal.
08:37With the pasta.
08:38There are 27 teams in Major League Baseball that allow you to bring a gallon Ziploc bag of spaghetti to
08:47the game.
08:48How many teams?
08:50Well, there's 27 teams that allow you to bring a gallon Ziploc bag.
08:56Who would ban this?
08:57Why would this be a thing?
08:59I don't know.
09:01I assume it's a mayo thing too, right?
09:03Are people bringing plain spaghetti noodles?
09:07I could see that for my kids.
09:09But they're not eating with the sauce.
09:10You're not bringing spaghetti with sauce to a game.
09:13Oh, there's sauce in it.
09:15There's sauce in it.
09:16There's sauce in it.
09:17Did you guys see or was this fake?
09:19The guy, one of the most brilliant ideas of all time, the guy with the beer jacket?
09:22Mm-mm.
09:23The beer jacket?
09:23You didn't see the vest that was filled with beer?
09:26No.
09:26So that way he didn't have to go and pay.
09:29He was wearing a jacket or a vest, and it was filled with beer.
09:32So he could just sit there and consume it out of that.
09:35Wow.
09:36That's pretty cool.
09:37That's pretty cool.
09:38Because what's the violation while you're walking in?
09:40I would assume none.
09:43It's real.
09:44You can buy it.
09:44It's $85, but you can buy the inflatable beer jacket.
09:49Look at that.
09:49Oh, my God.
09:50Is that amazing?
09:52And they've got pictures of people wearing it for real, not just this AI thing.
09:55So you enter, and it's got nothing in it, and then you fill it with beer there?
09:58No, you walk in with the beer.
10:00Yeah.
10:00What's the point of buying it in the stadium?
10:02You walk in with the beer already in it, I would think.
10:05Okay.
10:05So this one guy went on this crusade to find which stadiums and which food policies allowed
10:16you to bring in a gallon bag of spaghetti.
10:21Okay.
10:22With a very clever.
10:23I'm very upset I didn't think about this one.
10:25The tagline, imagine the possibilities.
10:28But there are three teams who do not allow it.
10:32The L.A. Dodgers.
10:34The New York Kings.
10:35The St. Louis Cardinals, those losers.
10:39And the Texas Rangers.
10:41Wow, so you just called the Rangers losers.
10:43No, I didn't.
10:44Because the Rangers...
10:45They don't go along with the rest of Major League Baseball on certain things.
10:49So, the Rangers, though, do allow you to bring two gallon-sized bags with entry, but only
10:56allow a quart-gallon or quart-sized bag for food.
11:01So you could bring the gallons.
11:03You could go get gallon bags and bring them in, but only with a spaghetti can only be a quart
11:08-sized bag.
11:08Who wants to eat spaghetti at a baseball game?
11:11I don't know.
11:12I do love pasta.
11:14Not at a baseball game?
11:15Arm me up, baby.
11:16You want to sit there with a fork digging into this bag with sauce?
11:19It's sloppy.
11:20What are you doing?
11:21It is sloppy.
11:22I don't get the mayo people either.
11:23People bring a jar of mayo in.
11:25A jar of mayo?
11:26Oh, yeah.
11:26For what?
11:27People who eat mayo with a spoon.
11:28You could do that.
11:28There's nothing but free mayo packs inside.
11:30I don't believe that.
11:31Who eats mayo with a spoon?
11:33There's free mayo.
11:33There's videos out there.
11:34People at sporting events eating the mayo.
11:36It's disgusting.
