00:00The Cubs keep winning while the Astros keep losing players to injury with its latest news.
00:04Should the rebuild, I can't even ask you that, should the rebuild begin now in Houston?
00:09What did you just say to me?
00:10You bite your tongue.
00:11Hey, two big wins for teams trying to overcome slow starts, the Mariners and the Phillies.
00:17In Philly, which complimentary piece has been better than you think?
00:21And we've got ham and eggers on a Thursday.
00:23He'll find in a special MLB Central conference call.
00:26You like conference.
00:27I hate them, but you're going to love this one.
00:29And you're going to love this show.
00:31Go ahead and roll it.
00:36Blue Buffalo, welcome inside.
00:38Good morning, Robert Flores, Cliff Floyd.
00:40I'm in the building.
00:41It's smelly before I saw you.
00:42Good morning.
00:43A few things overheard about two minutes ago from our producer, possible no, Mark DeRosa, for the start of the
00:49show.
00:50We are a Quinn medicine woman.
00:51Well, she's into all sorts of home remedies.
00:54I do.
00:54I like a home meal.
00:56You put socks on?
00:57Yeah.
00:58I know I've seen it.
00:59I ain't using it, but I've seen it.
01:00It absorbs the bad.
01:02You know, revolving door.
01:04And everything is kind of just falling into place.
01:08And pieces to this puzzle is still left to be found because I think D-Ro hit.
01:13I'm better than what they've seen.
01:14And I think now you're seeing that a little bit more.
01:17So that was one of those, the best one.
01:19Listen, I just want to say everyone relax with the Phillies.
01:23The names on the back of the jersey say they're going to figure this out, like at the end of
01:28the day.
01:28I do believe it.
01:30I think this is a wild card team.
01:32I think this is a team.
01:33I heard Yonder say last night on the call with Matty that he thinks they can win the division.
01:37I don't know if they can catch the Braves.
01:40It's a long season.
01:41But I think they would have righted this ship with Topper, Rob Thompson.
01:45But I think they did it a little bit.
01:47They were forced to do it a little bit quicker with Don Mattingly.
01:50It was almost like Dave Dombrowski said, hey, guys, this is on you to right the ship.
01:55You're going to watch a good man walk out this door.
01:58Let's get it going.
02:00And I want to say outside of Harper, Mattingly lineup and spot stardom, I feel like when I was coming
02:07up, when I first broke into the league, I was dead set.
02:1125th man utility guy, defensive replacement.
02:14And then you start to find some offense.
02:16And then it's like, ooh, I'm like the 10th starter, like six man off the bench in basketball.
02:23So there's got to be ways to get Sosa in.
02:26And I don't think anybody on that roster should worry about how Donnie's going to use him.
02:31Those numbers for Marshall coming back.
02:34Yeah, you're right.
02:35He's come back.
02:35You can tell he has calmed the starters down.
02:40Those numbers for Marshall and Sosa quite eye-popping.
02:43A's, Phillies wrap up that series a little bit later this evening.
02:46In Philadelphia, let's take a quick time out when we come back.
02:49You know how I feel about him coming off the WBC.
02:52This guy you hand the ball to.
02:54And Cliffy, he's got like eight pitches.
02:57I've never cursed on this show.
02:59You know what Paul Schienes?
03:01Paul Schienes is a badass.
03:04Don't try.
03:04Be careful, bro.
03:05Don't get me, you know.
03:07First job.
03:08No, not my first job.
03:09It was like my third job.
03:10Your third job.
03:11That was it.
03:11You said you said.
03:12And that was it.
03:13That was it.
03:14Yeah, but he didn't say shot clock.
03:17No, that was when I anchored SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt.
03:20I didn't say shot clock.
03:21I said something else.
03:22Oh.
03:23Yeah.
03:23But I dropped the mother of all bad words back in Austin, and that got me fired.
03:29Oh, okay.
03:30Let's go on and let's move on to St. Cook's back.
03:34Yeah, I think for Robert, we've loved on Caminero, Yondi, Chandler Simpson.
03:39And your former team.
03:41You know, getting opportunities when you look.
03:43I like where they are.
03:44I mean, it's very easy to cheer for St. McClanahan because we had him.
03:47Oh, yeah.
03:48Great.
03:48It was like, Lauren, it was like, man.
03:49Because I think we call it the, you know.
03:52Yeah.
03:52Show the leaderboards every day, and Robert reads the names, and one of them is on most of them.
03:56Yeah, and Jonathan Aranda is a great hitter, man.
03:59Wow, is he really good.
04:00He loves RBI situation.
04:02And that's why you don't panic if you're Dan Wilson or the Mariners.
04:06It's just too deep over the course of 162 all your floor.
04:09I have no idea.
04:10Well, they should.
04:11I mean, on paper, the Mariners.
04:13See, I don't want that thing, right?
04:15You would think.
04:16Yeah, the A's has some young talent, but I think when you look at Seattle, it's just when you watch
04:22him, this is what he does.
04:23He gets up to the post-start.
04:24He knows, right?
04:25So you have some guys.
04:26Let's talk about two teams in Central Divisions, but not the same.
04:29Justin Steele had the setback, and, you know, with the flexor strength.
04:32They were a pitcher away before that.
04:34Exactly.
04:34So, Lauren, I don't know what direction you go, and even if you go down to the Miners, because, I
04:39mean, you run a lot of guys who eat innings, and that's what you need.
04:42You need some, the offense is going to give you the luxury a little bit to kind of, like, you
04:47know, maybe throw out a guy.
04:49You want at the deadline.
04:49Give me the name.
04:50He's going to Florida.
04:52Go to South Florida.
04:53Go down.
04:53You know, it's easy to say, it's easy to say Sandy Alcantara, but I'm going to let Nays do his
04:59research.
04:59Right.
05:00Well, hopefully he's back sooner rather than later.
05:03Okay.
05:03Quick timeout here as we put a bow on our number one of this two-hour party.
05:08You know what?
05:08You...
05:08There is magic over Wrigley Field right now, and you can't even deny it.
05:12Last night, the third straight walk-off win for the Cubbies.
05:15The home crowd going crazy because they're getting kind of spoiled.
05:1814 straight home wins on the north side.
05:21They will go for 15 against the Reds, who they beat in the 10th inning on Wednesday.
05:26Shota Minaga knows exactly what to do at 2.20 Eastern.
05:29The Phillies doubled up the A's last night.
05:31It was just their third win in 14 games when facing a left-handed starter.
05:36And now it is back to work at the bank, where Andrew Painter tries for his second win of the
05:40season.
05:41Bills have had a nice start under Mattingly, winning eight of nine in the late game.
05:45On this schedule is in San Diego, where Matthew Libertor and the St. Louis Cardinals are visiting.
05:49Michael King on his home mound.
05:51He's always been solid for them.
05:53A 2.95 in seven starts.
05:55And the Padres trying to keep pace with the Dodgers in the West.
05:5810.10 from America's finest city.
06:00Can't wait.
06:01Music.
06:02Robert, tell them why.
06:03Well, because Dero is not going to be part of the show tomorrow.
06:07And we have not...
06:08We did not do it last week.
06:09We need to give you ham and eggers right now.
06:12We have a compilation of crazy fans that we wanted to show you.
06:15And Dero is with us tomorrow, just for the first half.
06:17Oh, really?
06:18Yeah.
06:18Oh, shoot.
06:19I need to make that.
06:19No, it's okay.
06:20Sorry, Dero.
06:22He's like, hey, Matt.
06:23I'm glad we go play golf.
06:27You need to consult with Elsa before you make any golf play.
06:31Gosh, there are 10.
06:31Are you ready?
06:32They say you look like your dog.
06:34Yeah.
06:34I thought the leash was connected.
06:38Oh, purse strap.
06:41Can we get the dog a hot dog?
06:43I know.
06:44I mean, right?
06:45He looks like, take me home.
06:46I love that.
06:47I love that.
06:48That's a great...
06:49Oh, man.
06:50I did not know that.
06:53Yeah, he just wants to get in there.
06:55That was a no-fly zone for my old man.
06:58You messed up his hair.
06:59You got...
06:59That was it.
07:00What about ponchos?
07:02How do we feel?
07:02Yay or nay?
07:03We got to forget about it, right?
07:04She's done.
07:05I mean, that looks like something that you wrap your paper in, not that covers your body.
07:10So, the cone phenomenon for the pirates is real.
07:14So, now people are hitting potholes and stuff, like messing up tires.
07:18It's not great.
07:18Absolutely.
07:19I mean, that's what they're doing.
07:20But what is that, a double X?
07:22He's just...
07:22He's trying to pull it out.
07:25Hey, listen.
07:27Hey, you got into Liz, though.
07:28Hey.
07:29Hey.
07:30The cop...
07:31I mean, come on.
07:33I mean...
07:34Cliff, you want to just sing the genuine song?
07:37Hey, let's do this saddles.
07:40Yeah, those...
07:41I'm never doing this.
07:43It's all right.
07:44Bunch of young guys having some fun.
07:46I'm okay with it.
07:47Eventually, they need to, you know, get a membership to Lifetime Fitness and get some...
07:51No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:52They're fine.
07:53They got some tall boys in the stands with them.
07:55Drinking beer.
07:56Get hit in the tenders 50 times, but I laugh every time.
07:59You're going to throw a pitch out.
08:01Look at him.
08:02I said run.
08:03Yeah.
08:04Back inside.
08:05He didn't hit his first home run until April 13th.
08:08Now he has 11.
08:0911 in his last 20 games.
08:11What's been the difference?
08:12You know what?
08:12He's coming off a 35 ball.
08:14And when you think about the...
08:17There's not a lot of bright spots to look forward to for him.
08:19And I'm just saying, just from an overall standpoint of the team.
08:22But he wants to be there.
08:23And he wants to show these guys that he wants to be there.
08:25And I think he's changed just some of the things as far as...
08:28That's the one thing that's changed for Byron in his career.
08:31When he's healthy, you saw what he did.
08:32Talking about the Twins and the American League Central as a whole.
08:35And Cliff said, you're never really out of it.
08:37They're in last place.
08:37But it's two and a half games.
08:39Over the years is...
08:41He's tried to minimize any type of movement at the dish.
08:45There's not much going on there.
08:47He knows he...
08:48Unfortunately been an issue for the Twins from the pitching rotation standpoint.
08:51Pablo Lopez out for the season.
08:53And then Joe Ryan forced to leave his start earlier this week with some problems with his elbow.
08:58All right, let's take a quick time...
08:59Our final break of the...
09:01You know what? You stood up a little bit.
09:03Dero, how you feeling?
09:04I feel good.
09:05What do you got now?
09:06I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Yellow Jacket take some BP.
09:37I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Yellow Jacket take some BP.
09:38I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Blue Jacket take some BP.
09:38I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Blue Jacket take some BP.
09:39I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Blue Jacket take some BP.
09:39I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Blue Jacket take some BP.
09:42I got to go to Georgia Tech and watch the Blue Jacket take some BP.
10:08You
